oofball tailgate parties, concerts and campus organizations gave
students opportunities to share the common core ot K-State with each
other regardless of where they lived, worked or studied.

But in April the Manhattan-Junction City area shared information
with the rest of the world. Following the bombing of the Alfred
Murrah Federal Building in Oklahoma City, investigators made
connections to Timothy McVeigh, a former Fort Riley soldier living

ts arrested for his part in the bombing that

Manhattan to be examined by Michael Finnegan, professor of social
anthropology and social work. Finnegan and other scientists used
bone and teeth fragments to verify that the body buried at Mount
Olivet Cemetery in Kearney, Mo., was James.

Students returned to school in the fall to discover the core of
campus remained under construction. Farrell Library and the Mananna
Kistler Beach Museum of Art construction continued to give them a
common headache with even more closed parking lots and detours
around the closed Mid Campus Drive.

Construction may have made getting around campus a hassle but
communication with each other was easier than ever. More than
3,200 students started email/UNIX accounts in the first weeks of
school, up from 200 accounts the previous year.

Colleges and universities faced a possible .85-percent charge on
federal loans to students in a bill sponsored by Sen. Nancy Kassebaum,
R-Kan. Students formed a core of resistance against the proposal that
could have caused a $382,000 charge to K-State students who received
federal loans.

The University faced its own financial difficulties when enrollment
figures fell to 20,476 — a drop of 188 students from last fall. The
enrollment decrease meant a $986,000 cut in state funding for 1996,
President Jon Wefald said in the State of the University address.
Through the financial cuts, the common thread was that programs and
financial aid could be in danger.

StudWWTathletes, coaches and the community
core created in the memories of the highest ranked football team in
school history. With the University of Kansas and K-State ranked in
the top 10 nationally, the intrastate rivalry became stronger than ever.

Meanwhile, students and alumni faced problems when police
cracked down on alcohol at tailgate parties in the parking lots outside
KSU Stadium. Parking patrols began confiscating alcohol from
students and alumni after the second home game, removing the core
of many tailgate parties.

However, alcohol in the K-State Union became a common sight
following a spring 1995 Union Governing Board decision allowing
3.2 beer to be sold in Union Station and the recreation center.

For the first time women were seen on the fourth floor of Marlatt
Hall. The all-male residence hall provided temporary housing for
more than 80 female students during renovations to the first and
second floors of Goodnow Hall. In September the women moved
from Marlatt to Moore and Ford halls for the remainder of the year.

As the campus adjusted to the national spotlight, falling enrollment
and different alcohol policies, students found a common core in a
changing university and the end of an era. IF*

For the first time in school history, tailgaters had to leave their beer at
home.

After the second home football game, the University began enforcing
a Kansas law prohibiting alcohol consumption on state property.

"We were informed if we saw any party balls
or kegs to notify our supervisor," Brian Neill,
stadium parking director and junior in business
administration, said. "If we see any open beer cans,
we're supposed to tell them to put it in a cup."

The K-State Police and the Riley County
Police Department patrolled the parking lots
looking for small containers.

Ronnie Grice, campus police director, said
fans were left alone if consumption was not
conspicuous.

Chris Ohm, senior in agricultural economics,
and his friend, Lawrence Andre, K-State alumnus,
said they were stopped at the gate and asked not to
bring a keg into the parking lot.

Andre said it was acceptable for police to keep
kegs out of the lot because they encouraged
excessive drinking, but he disagreed with banning
all alcohol.

"There's no way they can shut this down,"
Andre said. "We do it right. They should be proud
of it."

Ohm thought beer should have been available
to buy at KSU Stadium.

"I think that if students are allowed to drink
beer in the Union, you should be able to drink here," he said. "Just think how
much money they could make if they sold beer out here."

Angie Riggs, junior in management, said the alcohol policy did not
affect her.

"I don't associate tailgating and drinking together," she said. "I've
tailgated, but I never drank."

Grice said the law banning alcohol had been around for years, but had
not been aggressively enforced. Allowing alcohol in the lots had encouraged
fans to attend games, he said.

"We're not discouraging tailgating at all," Grice said. "You don't have
to be full of spirits to be full of spirit for K-State football."

ater warriors

Golden rays sparkled across the water as the sun began to
rise. Suddenly, the roar of a boat engine shattered the
silence as a skier emerged from the water.

"I like to begin skiing at 6:30 a.m.," Travis Teichmann, ski
team vice president and senior in construction science, said.
"The recreational skiers are not around and it is quieter and
easier to practice."

Most members had never competed before joining the
team, Travis Pape, ski team president and senior in milling
science and management, said.

"Most of them were recreational skiers," Pape said. "I would
say probably about 80 percent."

Inexperienced team members learned skills during practice.

"There is a misconception about the ski team," Lori
Wendling, ski team vice president and senior in pre-occupational
therapy, said. "We learn while we are practicing with the team. "

Dedication made the difference between recreational skiers
and the 25-member team.

"The recreational skier will ski as his body allows him to
ski," Fred Gibbs, ski team adviser, said. "The competitive skier
has to have correct position and form, and they have to make
their body go how the course is set."

During the summer individuals accumulated points at
tournaments that counted toward team points at regional and
state events, Teichmann said.

The University, funded trips to regional and state team
meets, but members paid their own entry fees for other
competitions.

Regardless of whether they competed in jump, trick or
slalom events, team members shared a love for the sport.

"Skiing is the best competitive sport," Teichmann said. "It
is a serious sport that I give 110 percent to."

As smoke cleared from the gun, more than 150 students and
. community members began a long and difficult journey.

The Wildcat Sprint Triathlon, a swimming, cycling and
running competition, raised $500 on Sept. 9 for the Manhattan
Marlins Youth Swim Team.

Dana Townsend, women's division winner and junior in
dietetics, was in her fifth full season of triathlon competition.

"You are actually training in three sports. It does take a
tremendous time commitment," Townsend said.

Running 25-30 miles, cycling 100 miles and swimming
9,000-10,000 yards, Townsend averaged between 11 and 12
hours per week training.

"I probably enjoy the training the most, and you have to
compete to train well," Townsend said. "I don't think you can
do your best unless you race."

Instead of participating in the triathlon, students could work
as one of 60 volunteers, Alberto Delgado, race volunteer
coordinator and associate professor in mathematics, said.

"The volunteers were used to helping with timing, registra-
tion, water stops, directing traffic, transition areas and race
statistics," he said.

Safety was a major concern of the coordinators.

"The swim is one of the most dangerous parts because it is
an open swim," Harvard Townsend, race coordinator and
systems administrator in computing and information sciences,
said. "The other danger is when the triathletes take corners on
their bicycles."

The competition attracted different types of people — some
out for fun, others out for competition and experience.

"It would be a great race for students to try," Dana
Townsend said. "You put yourself on the line, and you will be
tested. This will teach you something about yourself."

\ jL j ild turkeys ran through the grass as a doe stood among the shadows
▼ ▼ and peered down the well-traveled trail at the Konza Prairie Natural
Research Area.

Docents, or trained tour guides, led tours down the trails of the Konza
Prairie.

Dean Hargett, senior in history, was the only student out of about 25
docents. He gave his first tour in September, but his first visit to the Konza
Prairie was about 10 years ago.

"My favorite part of the prairie is the hilltop," Hargett said. "There is a
long climb to the top and you can see all to the south and out west to Fort
Riley. When you reach the top it is magnificent with the wind blowing
through your hair."

The content of the tours depended on the age of the participants.

"The tours are available lor any group," John Zimmerman, coordinator
of the docent program and professor of biology, said. "There are tours for
fourth and filth grades, high school students, college students or adults."

Docents added information to the tours which were set up on an
appointment basis, Hargett said.

"There are quite a number of training hikes with the docent program.
We familiarize ourselves with the prairie by reading about and listening to the
experienced docents," he said.

Becky Burton, graduate student in biology, said she became interested
after volunteering.

"I volunteer for the burning. Myjob is I run the drip torch lor the fire,"
Burton said. "It is a good experience to help out and feel more connected to
what's going on in the area."

College-level tours focused on plant species and experiments.

"We have 8,600 acres with 60 different units all subjected to burn units,"
David Hartnet, director of the Konza Prairie, said. "The whole purpose is to
study the effects from the fire on ecology, different species and the effects of
burning vegetation."

Students worked on the Konza Prairie and gained hands-on experience
through research projects.

"My research is on the aquatic system through the streams, ponds and
ground water," Ken Fritz, graduate in biology, said. "It is definitely
experience."

Hargett shared his knowledge about the Konza Prairie and the experiments
with other students he encountered during tours.

"I like getting other people out there and helping them know about the
prairie instead of just watching it as they drive past," he said.

Bands from Manhattan and Lawrence smudged out Dr.
Crusty in the annual OPUS 9 Band Competition.
Smudge, a Manhattan band, and 425 Main, a Lawrence
band, tied for first place. Dr. Crusty, from Topeka, placed
second in the contest sponsored by Union Program Council.
The competition became controversial when bands from
other cities were allowed to compete.

Only two of the seven bands invited
by the UPC Eclectic Entertainment Com-
mittee were from Manhattan.

"It kind of made me mad because (the
advertising) made it sound like it was a K-
State type thing," Jason Barth, junior in
pre-health professions, said.

The advertising was not misleading,

John Sandlin, UPC program adviser, said.

"In all of our advertising the only

stipulation was that it's an unsigned band, "

he said.

Cold weather caused the event to
relocate from the free speech zone outside the K-State Student
Union to the Union Ballroom.

The relocation caused the attendance of 300 to be less than
last year's, Sandlin said.

"I think the student committee did a really good job setting
it up," he said. "Any K-State student could have come and
listened to some really good music and had a good time."

Members of Smudge were surprised they 'won. The band
agreed that creating original music was their main interest.

"I don't think any of us are in it for the money," Chad
Mercer, backing vocals and bass for Smudge, said. "If we were
in it for the money, we would have all quit a long time ago."

The 12-hour walk-a-thon on Aug. 26 raised money for the
American Cancer Society.
Twenty-two teams raised
$20, 1 00, about $ 1 00 more than
last year.

"It's a real high," Mary
Stamey, relay chairperson, said.
"It gets real emotional when
we light the luminarias and
read the names on the bags."

Alpha Delta Pi members

their sisters, Brandi Stotts,
sophomore in food and

who lost her mother to cancer.

"We wanted to support
her and also increase our
community service," Angie
Dixon, junior in pre-
occupational therapy, said.
"We were all affected by the
death of her mother."

participant in the annual event was

The ADPi team raised
$990, the most raised by a living group.

"It meant a lot to me. It made me feel better," Stotts said. "I
think it made them feel good to help me, too."

Stamey became involved with the event because her brother
died of leukemia and it helped her come to terms with the
disease.

"I participate in the relay to honor the memory of my
brother," Stamey said. "It's just a great way to celebrate life."

He remembered flying a toy airplane around his
grandmother's house.

Since he was a child, Mike DiDio, senior in electrical
engineering, had dreamed of earning his pilot's license and
becoming a fighter pilot.

"Being a fighter pilot is very glamorized. After I earn my
pilot's license, I plan on going to Air Force flight school," he
said. "After dreaming about flying for so long, I'm glad I really
do like to do it."

DiDio began working on his license in May 1995 and
planned to complete it in March 1996.

Lauren Urich, flight instructor for the Kansas Air Center in
Manhattan, said there was no set time schedule for earning a
pilot's license.

"How long it takes really depends on the student. It usually
takes people anywhere from two and a half months to nine
months, although it has taken some people more than a year,"
Urich said. "It just depends on how much they're willing to put
into it."

Flight students had to pass a written test from the Federal
Aviation Administration before beginning 40 hours of required
flight time. Following training, they had to take a private pilot
practical test, Urich said.

While training for his license, DiDio piloted a Cessna 150,
the most common plane used for flight training. Because of its
light composition, the two-seater plane was easily blown around
by the wind.

Although he never became ill while piloting, DiDio said
flying as a passenger was a different story.

"This summer in New Mexico, I was in an F- 1 1 1 . We were
500 feet off the ground going about 650 mph, doing evasive

maneuvers," he said. "We were pulling a lot of Gs and the pilot
cracked it hard. I got sick, so we raised up for a little bit and then
went back down again."

The dangers of flying and possiblities of accidents sometimes
worried DiDio.

"When I'm with my instructor, if anything went wrong, he
could always bring us to safety," he said.

Flying solo lacked the safety net an instructor provided.

"Soloing is a great feeling, and I'm really relaxed. But if I
screw up now, I'm history," DiDio said. "If you don't screw up
too bad, a fatality probably won't happen. Accidents only
happen for two reasons: you screw up or the aircraft screws up,
and you can control one of those."

Landing was often a terrifying experience for new pilots,
Mike Spicer, DiDio's flight instructor, said.

"When they see the ground rushing up at them, they have
to be pretty close to just right," he said.

DiDio said learning to land usually took between 10 and 12
hours of practice.

"I was really nervous the first time I landed solo, but I was
concentrating so hard that I forgot about my nervousness," he
said. "After I landed the plane and the controls were all sweaty,
I just leaned back and took a deep breath."

DiDio said although flying made him nervous, he enjoyed
the challenges it brought.

"Being in the air is totally different from being on the
ground," he said. "Before flying, I always liked the idea of it, but
now that I'm flying, I just love it."

reno delivers 103rd landon lecture

growing up with a sense of belonging

touching the lives of children

e Initio*

Despite a plane delay and protesters, U.S. Attorney General
Janet Reno delivered the 103rd Landon Lecture.
About 3,750 people attended Reno's Oct. 24 speech at
Bramlage Coliseum and about a dozen supporters of Fred Phelps,
Topeka resident, protested the event.

James Hockenburger, Topeka
resident, said he wanted to warn people
about Reno's acceptance of homosexuals.
"All people should be treated equal,"
Hockenburger said. "But, I need to warn
the country that our leaders are promoting
homosexuality."

The speech focused on helping

children grow up with a sense ofbelonging.

"We can all touch the lives of our

children and give them a sense of

community," Reno said.

Her focus on children bothered
students who expected a collegiate topic.
"She is very well-educated, but she
could have chosen a better topic that was
more related to the students," Debbie
Myers, junior in interior design, said.

Reno suggested helping children by
supporting community policing.

"The community needs to make a
connection with the young people and
work together as a community to be
competitive in the future," Reno said.
Keeping children in school and
preparing them for work were important, Reno said.

"Raising children is the hardest thing that I know of," she
said. "Being attorney general has been great, but nothing can
compare if you can reach out to a child."

black bead necklace, symbolizing spirits and protection during
travel, dangled around Shante Moore's neck as he walked to

The beads were given to him by a family he met in Paraguay,
where he traveled as a team member in the Community Service
Program.

In summer 1994, Moore, senior in political science, spent eight
weeks in Paraguay as an International Service Team member through
the Community Service Program.

As member of the program, Moore received a scholarship and a
living stipend for serving on the teams.

Moore joined other team members in organizing a new market
for local farmers to sell their goods.

"The previous market had been closed for 37 years," Moore said.
"My team got them started again."

During summer 1995, he spent seven weeks in Pune, India,
carrying out service projects and looking for service opportunities for
students overseas.

Moore and his partner, Brian Becker, senior in fisheries and
wildlife biology, were the first team to go to India.

In India, the partners did structural improvements to a low-
income housing area and Indian service organizations asked them for
help with local projects.

"Our project was to look at slums and to make suggestions for
improvements," Moore said. "We were the guinea pig team."

He gained a new perspective through the trips.

"Both of my trips made me open my eyes," Moore said. "It was
an attitude check for me to get more involved. Now I wonder, why
can't I get involved in my own community?"

When his grandmother became ill, Moore had to leave India
early. He said he still felt he gained something worthwhile from the
experience and time he shared with the people in Paraguay.

"I have stronger connections to my family now, something that
I picked up on in Paraguay," Moore said. "Besides, this is the most
cost-efficient way to travel."

volunteering helps the system work

voicing the concerns o

f child

r e n

\ , mall voices often had difficulty speaking up for their rights,
k^P but students helped those voices be heard.

Concerned students became Court Appointed Special
Advocates. CASA, a national organization, assigned volunteers
to court cases involving neglected, abused or delinquent juveniles.
The volunteers investigated the cases and made recommendations
in the child's interest.

"Child abuse is more of a problem than people realize,"
Karen Ruckert, CASA volunteer and sophomore in pre-law,
said. "I think I was sheltered from the problem and didn't realize
how widespread it is."

There were no specific qualifications to be a volunteer, but
personality characteristics such as sensitivity, awareness, objectivity
and cooperation with the court system were important, Melanie
Brockington, executive director of CASA, said.

According to the 1995 Kansas Kid Count Data Book, there
were 438 reported child abuse and neglect cases and 27 confirmed
cases in Riley County last year.

"Children are the littlest victims," Tammy Hoots, CASA
volunteer and senior in family life and community services, said.
"And I've never understood what a child would ever do to cause
anyone to hit or abuse them sexually or physically."

Of the 50 CASA volunteers, half were students. These
volunteers interviewed parents, teachers and siblings.

"We spend time with them (the children) so they get to trust
us," Ruckert said. "We want to build a rapport with them so we
understand where they are coming from."

The most rewarding aspect of volunteering was seeing the
family change, Hoots said.

"After I've worked on a case awhile it's nice to walk into a
room and have the children run up and give me a hug, and to
have the parents accept me and realize that I'm not trying to
separate the family," Hoots said. "Seeing the children and
parents change makes you feel you've made a difference."

hree roommates became helping hands for international
JL students struggling with a foreign language and culture.

Adrienne Dimmitt, sophomore in milling science and man-
agement, read about the Conversational English Program and
persuaded her roommates to become involved. The program
matched American students with international students who
were uncomfortable with English.

"We can all remind each other to get together," Erin
Bowersox, sophomore in pre-health professions, said. "I can
experience three different cultures as opposed to one, all at the
same time."

Students attended events, like an international Halloween
party, and did activities in pairs, such as going out for yogurt.

"I think it is fun," Phouvieng Khounthasenh, freshman in
pre-health professions, said. "It is kind of like having a family
away from home, because we do a lot of things together."

Reasons for students' involvement in the program varied.

"I wanted to make a new friend," Ming-Fen Tsai, junior in
hotel and restaurant management, said. "I wanted to improve
my conversation."

Bowersox said she was interested in other countries.

"I've gained knowledge of a new culture, a new friend and
somebody to spend time with," she said.

Dimmitt helped her partner, Dong Chen, graduate student
in computer science, prepare to retake the Test of Spoken
English, which she had to pass to become a graduate teaching
assistant.

"Once we read Cosmo," Dimmitt said. "It was kind of
funny because we read about ATM machines and we read about
where to find guys."

Dimmitt said being involved in the program was rewarding.

"It's a great program," she said. "It really opens your eyes.
It keeps you aware of things outside of Manhattan. It's such a big
world out there."

in remembrance of her brother

run

hen she crossed the finish line of the 1995 New York
City Marathon, her brother's spirit was with her.

"I am starting to realize how close he was to me," Nicole
Nelson, sophomore in dietetics, said. "I thought of my family.
This meant so much to my family as a whole, and my brother
is part of my family. It was great to have had such a wonderful
experience."

Nelson's brother, Wayne, died of leukemia when she was
13-years-old and he was 17-years-old.

"He seemed old, but now that I think back, he wasn't,"
Nelson said. "It's (running in the marathon) probably been
therapeutic. It's helped me sort through things, and it has meant
a lot to my family."

After Wayne died, the Leukemia Society of America acci-
dentally sent him information about Team-In-Training, a fund-
raiser for the Leukemia Society of America that paired runners
with individuals who had leukemia.

Although the information had been addressed to Wayne,
Nicole became fascinated with the program.

"The patient you run in honor of helps motivate you,"
Nelson said. "It gives you a more personal relationship and gives
the patient motivation."

When Nelson decided to participate in the program, she had
limited track experience.

"I ran in high school, but I wasn't that good," she said. "I
thought if I ran for Wayne it would give me more determination
and make up for the lack of talent."

The Leukemia Society assigned Nelson a 7-year-old boy,
Loren Edgar, to be her honored patient. Edgar was diagnosed
with leukemia when he was 18-months-old.

"He is great about it, and his morale is super," Nelson said.
"You could talk to him for hours and he wouldn't bring it up."

As part of their fund-raising campaign, Nelson and Edgar
visited fraternities and sororities asking for donations to pay the
$3,000 race entry fee. Nelson began crying as they were leaving
one of the houses.

"He gave me a hug and the next minute he was asking what's
for dinner," she said. "There is not a bone "\\'c tminht mp n Int
in him that says 'feel sorry for me.'"

To prepare for the New York mara- about how much \/OU
thon, Nelson planned to run 18 miles of
the 1995 KAKE-TV/ Wichita Marathon.
During the event, she decided to finish
the entire race, but then stopped one mile
short of completing the marathon.

"I had to remember — I'm not doing
it for me," she said. "I'm doing it for
Wayne."

When she completed the New York
City Marathon, Nelson said she ran all 26
miles for her brother, who had taught her
to go the extra mile.

Race preparations and fund-raising efforts helped her come
to terms with her brother's death but she also learned many
things about herself.

"It has been a very emotional thing to do. Sometimes it has
been flat-out frustrating," she said. "It's taught me a lot about
how much you can do if you set your mind to something. You
can accomplish things that are seemingly impossible."

The Leukemia Society gave each runner a uniform to wear
during the race. On the back of her uniform, Nelson had "K-
State" and cross-stitched the message carved on her brother's
tombstone.

"In the corner I cross-stitched 'Together forever,' because
that just says it all," she said. "We know we will see him again."

religion works in mysterious ways

beer bashes become scripture studies

church group rents "party house"

When large groups met at a former "party house," Bibles
were being passed around instead of beer.

"I was pretty much disappointed. We felt it was a shame,"
Dirck Dekeyser, senior in pre-optometry and former resident of
the house, said. "It's good the campus ministries are there, but
I was still really disappointed we weren't asked back because we
were having a lot of good times there."

Dekeyser and his roommates were forced to find new
housing arrangements when the owner decided to rent the
house, located at the corner of Denison and Anderson avenues,
to Lutheran Campus Ministries.

The group began renting in summer 1995 and hoped to buy
the house in spring 1996, Rev. Jayne Thompson said.

Although the former renters did not attended Lutheran
Campus Ministries functions, they noticed the exterior changes.

"The strangest thing to me, is it is clean. The porch is nice
and painted and there are rocking chairs there," Dekeyser said.
"It doesn't even seem like the same house now, because
everything is so neat and prissy."

The house, which three peer ministers lived in, had an open-
door policy. The ministers met Thursdays and lead Bible studies.

Remodeling the party house was a time-consuming chore.

"We have done a lot and we'll do some more," Jerry Weis,
professor of biology and faculty sponsor/chairman of the
Lutheran Campus Ministries board, said. "But there weren't
gaping holes in the walls or gallons of beer in the closets."

The group was not attracted to the house because of its
reputation.

"We were not planning to hunt down a party house,"
Richard Lissitschenko, graduate student in curriculum and
instruction, said. "God works in mysterious ways. We finally
found a house."

beer sales not as lucrative as forcasted

rinking without the hassle of a bar

recreation area not affected by sales

'" : ■ ""'- ' "| f|

After a year-long debate, bowlers, card sharks and billiard
players could finally buy beer in the K-State Student Union.

However, beer sales were lower than the Union Governing
Board's yearly estimates of $100,000 to $175,000 given in spring
1995 when the decision was being made to allow beer in the
Union.

"Those estimates were very exaggerated," Jack Sills, Union
director, said. "They were unaware of the actual costs involved
in getting it all set up."

Terri Eddy, Union recreation manager, said original costs
included insurance, licensing and being audited. He estimated
the recreation area sold between $1 ,000 and $2,000 in alcoholic
beverages a month.

"We still have hopes of breaking even," Sills said. "It just
won't be as lucrative as it was originally thought."

One target audience for alcohol sales was league bowlers.

"All in all, out of the 1 1 or so teams we play against, there's
probably only one team that goes and drinks while they bowl,"
Luke Folscroft, league bowler and junior in political science,
said. "It just never has become a factor for us when we bowl, but
it doesn't bother me that it's down there."

Chris Hartley, sophomore in arts and sciences, said he
approved of having alcohol in the Union.

"I've seen a few people drink in here and I don't mind it,"
Hartley said. "It's cool that they're flexible enough to allow it in
here."

Eddy said the availability of alcohol had little effect on the
recreational area.

"It doesn't smell like a bar and we don't have the hassles of
a bar," Eddy said. "If people want to get drunk, they'll go to the
bars in Aggieville, but if they want to play pool or bowl, they can
come here without the hassles of a bar."

Deer on tap was the latest addition to
the Union Recreational area. With the
beer came all sorts of signs — from
neon to the liquor license. Security
measures, such as signs and checking
identification were implemented to
prevent underage drinking. Alcohol in
the Union was not as profitable as
predicted. The beer made between
$1,000 and $2,000 a month as opposed
to the estmated $175,000 a year. Jack
Sills, Union director, said the estimates
were exaggerated. (Photo by Shane

JL 'JLFJ.JL JLG

:...:

Id tires lined the seldom-used tennis courts behind

Manhattan Middle School. Once a week, street hockey

invaded the courts which had chipped and fading white lines.

Of the 1 1 people who arrived to play, one was sidelined

before the game because of an injury. After a quick warm-up,

the game began.

"There's always the same number of people — a core group

— who come out and play," Chris DiGregorio, senior in art

en j- therapy, said. "Other people come in and

out. It's great to get 15 people out here

because it is so much more tun."

The street hockey group began three
years ago when students in the psychology
department and the College of Veterinary
Medicine started playing the game as a
tension reliever.

"I'm a vet student and I spend six or
seven days a week in school and it feels
good to have fun and run around for a
couple of hours," Dean Elder, third-year
veterinary science student, said.

The running portion of the game had
other advantages.
"It's a great workout and it's a nice break from the mo-
notony of school," Jeff Daniels, third-year veterinary science
student, said.

For some of the players, street hockey gave them a
chance to play something similar to another sport they loved —
ice hockey.

"I've always loved the game of hockey," Loren Schultz,
third-year veterinary science student, said. "Seeing as it doesn't

Street hockey used the same equipment as ice hockey with
the same expenses.

Hockey sticks started at $ 1 0 for wood and could cost as much
as $30 tor high quality aluminum sticks. Participants could also
spend tremendous amounts on gloves, helmets and other equip-
ment, DiGregorio said.

Also like ice hockey, street hockey had a violent factor.

"It can get real physical, especially when we start pushing
and shoving," Scott Carlson, third-year veterinary science
student, said.

"If you're real tenacious, you're going to cause some
problems."

Julie Lewis, graduate student in psychology and one of
several women who played, found out how rough hockey could
be. During the game, she received a black eye and several
bruises.

"I was a little leery at first that they'd start beating up on me
because I'm a female," Lewis said. "Once they found out that I
could dish it out, they started hitting back. I've been known to
be mean."

During one game, she cheered for her team as she held the
opposing goalie from his goal.

"I'm doing my best to cheat," she said. "Really, I am."

Soap operas became an obsession for students who gathered
for afternoon programming everywhere from the K-State Stu-
dent Union to apartments and residence halls.

"It kind of sucks you in whether you want it to or not,"
Valerie Robbins, senior in interior architecture, said. "I am
addicted completely."

Videocassette recorders saved students from making the
tough choice between microbiology and "As the World Turns."

"My classes come first," Kathy Laubach, junior in dietetics,
said. "I don't revolve (my schedule) around the soaps. I can
always record it."

However, she attempted to keep her lunch break free on
Tuesdays and Thursdays to watch "As the World Turns."

"It's nice to have that hour to watch it," Laubach said. "You
don't worry about your problems. You worry about someone
else's."

For some students, soaps promoted a distorted reality —
romance was steamy and no one went to work or had problems.

"Most of the girls who grow up watching this think this is
the way it is," Julie Whited, sophomore in hotel and restaurant
management, said. "If you get too wrapped up in them, your
whole sense of reality about the way life is becomes distorted."

Men also became hooked on the twisted plots.

John Dedonder, sophomore in journalism and mass com-
munications, was a fan of "Bold and the Beautiful." He watched
the show with his brother and father when he was younger.

"Some people make fun of me and some watch it also," he
said. "They say, 'You tape that? You're as bad as some girls I
know.'"

With sculptured nails, she pointed to photos of a woman
wearing a hoop skirt, petticoats and a bustle.

"The character is me, only 130 years ago," Christine
Shaneyfelt, senior in theater, said.

Shaneyfelt used her costuming skills to craft Civil War-era
clothing to wear at re-enactments across Kansas and to make her
dress for the Miss K-State/Manhattan Scholarship Pageant on
Oct.14.

During the Civil War re-enactments she explored the
scenes, often visiting both warring camps.

"It's amazing how different you can be treated between the
two camps during a re-enactment. I came upon a Confederate
camp. They said 'Lady in camp' and then there were a lot ol
crashes and bangs," Shaneyfelt said. "Each soldier lined up and
tipped his hat as they escorted me through the camp.

"The Yankee camp was different. I started getting cat calls
and one guy used a rifle butt to lift my dress," she said.

Due to the size of Shaneyfelt' s dress, the incident did not
reveal much. Her dress hoops measured more than 90 inches
around and weighed more than 40 pounds.

"I always liked playing dress-up, but now my dresses have
gotten bigger and more expensive. (Re-enacting) can put you
in the hole easily," Shaneyfelt said. "However, it pays off in an
educational value."

She shared that education with elementary students when
she lectured about women's roles on the plantations.

"All too often people don't realize that we didn't just sit
around sipping lemonade and fanning ourselves," Shaneyfelt
said. "The women on the plantation weren't as weak as people
think they were."

Shaneyfelt discovered one drawback to traveling to the
schools.

While she might not have been able to drive in the clothes, parts of her
costumes could be worn to class.

"I've worn the clothing to school before, especially during the winter,"
Shaneyfelt said. "The students think I'm weird, but at least I'm not cold."

She had other reasons for wearing clothing.

"Call it backfire re-incarnation or one too many reruns of 'Little House
on the Prairie,' I just like
wearing the clothing," she said.

For one night in October,
Shaneyfelt forgot about her
Civil War-era clothing and
switched her name. Christine
became Alicia as she slipped
into the evening wear
competition of the 39th annual
Miss Manhattan/K-State
Scholarship Pageant.

"I use two different names
to represent myself with, when
I compete in pageants and
when I act," she said. "They
represent different aspects of
my abilities."

Shaneyfelt competed
against six other women, but
was the only one to walk away
with the tiara and the chance
to represent the Manhattan area
in the Miss Kansas pageant.

"I just got lucky, and it was
my time to shine, and through
the grace of God it finally
happened," Shaneyfelt said. "I felt really calm, not that I wasn't anxious or
nervous, but I had this really weird feeling.

"When they said I had won, I didn't move," she said. "I had my eyes
closed, and someone was telling me to come up and get my crown when
one of my best friends tackled me to tell me congratulations."

The Rasmussen twins, Corey and Todd, shared more than just common blood
as they attended college. Dana Pinkston carried on a family tradition that was
started by her great-grandfather, Charles Johnston, pictured outside Anderson
Hall. Jeremy and Alexander Cooper divided much of their mother Michelle's time
while she was trying to finish school. Remaining close and finishing school were
also on the minds of three members of the Oplinger family. On their wedding

After

LIFETIME OF EXPERIENCE AND FIVE CHILDREN ACCOMPANIED ONE STU-

dent back to school after a 25-year absence.

Barbara Oplinger, junior in social work, came to K-State after
helping her husband, roger, raise their children and work on the

family farm.

Not only did Barbara return to school while
raising a family, two of her daughters, Ky and
Kory, were her peers.

"It wasn't planned, it just happened that
way," Ky, sophomore in pre-health professions,
said.

Like their mother, Kory, junior in journalism
and mass communications, and Ky transferred
from community colleges.

"I always wanted to come here," Kory said.
"Dad always brought us to K-State for the games
and productions since he was from here, and I
liked the journalism and mass communications
school and had heard so much about it."

While at school, Barbara lived in Riley with
her three other children who attended middle and
high school. Ky and Kory lived in Manhattan,
although in different locations.

"We've gotten a lot closer because we all live
closer together," Kory said. "As for my younger
brothers and sisters, I can call them up on the

weekends and I can actually go to see Dad when
he comes up trom Jewell."

Roger, a K-State alumnus, maintained the
farm in Jewell and visited Manhattan on week-
ends.

Adjusting to life without her husband nearby
was difficult for Barbara.

"Now for the first time, I'm facing issues by
myself because my husband is not here with
me," she said.

When her younger children were around,
Barbara's role changed from student to parent.
She waited to study until the children were in bed
or before they woke up.

"I concentrate on them. I'm Mom then,"
Barbara said. "I try not to make my needs known
to them or disrupt their lives. We've got to
support one another."

Adjusting to the changing family structure
gave one daughter a new look at her parents.

"I am so proud of my mom and I am so happy
that Dad was able to adjust to it all,"Kory said.

.n the fifth grade, corey and todd rasmussen switched places.
"i wish we would have done it more," todd, junior in pre-
medicine, said. "our friends thought it was all giggly and fun stuff.
It was just sort of a 'twin thing."'

Although they never switched places at K-
State, students still confused Corey, junior in
finance, and Todd.

"There have been times when people have
come up to me and I have no clue who they are,"
Corey said. "I just try to be polite and say 'I think
you must know my brother, Todd.'"

In spite of their physical similarities, the twins
said they had contrasting personalities.

"Corey is more outgoing and more social
than I am," Todd said. "He is more energetic in
meeting new people and in getting to know them.
I am not that way. I usually just sit back."

The twins were not the first in their family to
attend K-State. Eric, a 1994 K-State graduate m
mechanical engineering, played an important role
in the twins' decision of what college to attend.

"Since I always came up to see him, my older
brother played a major part in me coming to
school at K-State," Todd said. "I remember my

brother always commenting on how much he
loved it here at K-State."

Like Eric, the twins joined Delta Chi frater-
nity. Todd became president of the fraternity.

Being twins gave Todd and Corey advan-
tages.

"I meet people through my brother and my
brother meets people through me," Todd said.

The brothers liked being involved in the same
activities and living near each other.

"We have lived in the same general area all the
years we have been up here," said Corey. "It
works out nice since Todd is stealing my stuff all
the time."

The twins lived in the same apartment com-
plex, although in different apartments.

"My parents wanted us to be together," Todd
said. "This way we are able to see each other all the
time and are still able to get away from each other
when we need to."

But Phyllis Pinkston died while Dana was working on her under-

HER FOOTSTEPS TO BECOME A K-STATE

Dana, assistant professor in theater and a
costume designer, had a lot to live up to. Her
grandfather, Charles Johnston, taught in the agri-
culture department and Dana's mother, was a
dairy science faculty member.

Dana had not planned on being a third gen-
eration faculty member.

"It had not been a goal," she said. "I honestly
thought I would never come back."

Mother and daughter had rocky educational
experiences. Both dropped out of K-State and
later returned to become faculty members.

Following her mother's death and a disap-
pointing academic start, Dana dropped out of
school. She later returned to earn bachelor's and
master's degrees in theater.

"It was hard coming back," she said. "Every-

PROFESSOR.

one seemed young and spoiled. You want to tell
them all to quit fooling around and be serious.
You also realize you know more than you think
you know."

Phyllis dropped out of college to become a
wife and mother when she met Dana's tather.
After his death, Phyllis was forced to return to
school.

Losing both parents made theater especially
important for Dana.

"The nice thing about theater is it becomes an
extended family," she said. "It's like working with
your family."

Dana accepted a faculty position in fall 1994.

"It felt like coming home. K-State has always
been a part of my life," she said. "I felt like I was
upholding a family tradition."

tradition

Continuing

urple pride ran deep for the laurie family.
Mike Lauriejunior in civil engineering, and his dad, David Laurie
jr., professor of secondary education, tried to meet once a week to

VISIT AND CATCH UP WITH EACH OTHER.

"He usually picks me up for lunch on Tues-
days to play handball or racquetball. It's neat that
we both have something in common," Mike said.
"I like having him here because most people don't
get that opportunity, and the free lunch is nice."

The Laurie's tie to K-State was a strong one.
Mike's two brothers, Matt and Mark, and his
mother, Claudette, graduated from K-State.

David's two brothers and father also attended
the University.

David said his sons never felt pressure to
continue the family tradition.

"We told them to go anywhere," David said.
"We just wanted them to go to college no matter
what they wanted to do."

Friends and strong family ties helped Mike
make the decision to come to K-State.

"It was an easy choice," Mike said. "All my
family has come here, and many of my friends
were here. I'd heard a lot of stories about K-State

from my older brothers, and I was comfortable and
familiar here."

David said it wasn't family ties that brought
him to the campus. It was football.

"Football was the most important reason I
came to K-State," David said. "I was assured that
I could start as a sophomore, and that really
influenced me."

After five concussions and temporary eyesight
loss, David was forced to quit playing football after
his third year.

He ended up teaching graduate level educa-
tion classes and coaching and officiating for foot-
ball and basketball.

Although Mike hasn't yet taken a class from
his dad, he heard about them from his friends.

"They like his classes, and they get to hear
stories about me. Dad's pretty obnoxious some-
times, and I think he probably likes to give them
a hard time in class," Mike said.

wo faculty members had nightly rendezvous with beethoven and
Bach. Lori Bergen, associate professor in print journalism, and
David Kamerer, associate professor in electronic media, attended K-
State in the early 1980s and co-hosted a program called "Summer

Classics" on KSDB-FM 91.9.

"During the summer they were wanting to
try some other things," Bergen said. "We just
thought it would be nice to have sort of a dinner
hour classical music."

Bergen and Kamerer met in a UFM class.
After dating for three years, they were married in
November 1983.

When positions opened at K-State it was no
surprise that Bergen and Kamerer accepted them.

Like Bergen's mother, father and brother,
they had both received degrees from K-State.
However, Kamerer was the first K-State graduate
in his family.

"The school really wrapped its arms around
me. It's a very nice environment," he said. "I've
always stayed close to K-State and when I had the
chance to come back, I was thrilled, especially
when we were able to make it work out."

Even their 4-year-old daughter, Anna, was a

student at the KSU Child Development Center.

"She's been there since she was three,"
Bergen said, "Anna's probably the youngest in
my family to go to K-State."

Despite being surrounded by her family,
Bergen said it was strange teaching at her alma
mater.

"It's kind of interesting because I have had
students who have professors that I had when I was
an undergraduate," Bergen said. "But the oddest
thing about being here is that I'm (teaching) in the
same classrooms I used to sit in."

On campus, Bergen and Kamerer did not see
each other more than if they had worked at
separate places.

"I work in a different building, and we work
in different areas even though we're in the same
department," Kamerer said. "She goes into her
black hole everyday just like she works some-
where else and I do the same."

While her sons, Alexander and Jeremy, were learning in the KSU Child
Development Center and her husband, Jeff, was at work, Michelle Cooper, junior
in English, studied in the K-State Student Union. Between working and
studying, Cooper had to make time to spend with her children and husband.

The

aoys scattered from one end of the room to the other. late for
work. An essay due tomorrow.

For Michelle Cooper, junior in English, obtaining a college
education was anything but easy and convenient.

"Most college kids' greatest worry is what bar
they're going to hit that night," Cooper said. "I
have to worry about and focus on my kids,
husband, bills and work."

When she woke at 6 a.m., Cooper spent a
few minutes with her sons, Jeremy, 5, and
Alexander, 2, before dropping them off at the
KSU Child Development Center.

"I chose to take the kids to KSUCDC be-
cause I wanted them to be in an environment I
knew was licensed, safe and conducive to learn-
ing," Cooper said.

She found it convenient having her sons near.

"I wanted them close by so that if something
happened I would be right there," she said. "I also
wanted them near me so that if I wanted to see
them or go eat lunch with them, they would be
close enough so that I could do that."

In January 1994, the Coopers moved to Man-
hattan, and Cooper became a full-time student.

"We've all been through a lot of adjustments
in the last year and it has changed the focus of
everything," she said.

Because of her demanding schedule, she was
not able to spend as much time as she wanted with
her sons.

Cooper worked as a telemarketer tor Olan
Mills in the evenings and then did homework at
night after her sons went to bed.

"The level of responsibility is enormous," she
said. "It is very taxing, very exhausting. I function
on little sleep."

The struggles of studying, working 24 hours
a week and raising children were worth it for
Cooper when she considered the future.

"It will be worth it when I can bring home
a paycheck to ensure that my children will get a
college education and everything they need," she
said. "I have to remind myself of that when I get
really frustrated."

blivious to the small crowd, Soul Asylum played as fans
swayed to the music and passed people above their heads
in the traditional concert style.

Soul Asylum and Matthew Sweet entertained an audience of
about 1 ,200 on Oct. 2 at Bramlage Coliseum. The concert was
sponsored by Union Programming Council.

"We took a shot and it didn't succeed," Sarah Hadley,
program adviser, said. "We experienced a substantial loss."

She estimated the actual loss was be-
low the original $40,000 estimation.

Several factors contributed to the low
turnout.

Patrick Carney, UPC president and
senior in political science, said low atten-
dance was partially due to scheduling the
concert on a Monday, the tour suffering
nationally and students being picky.

Students wanted an alternative music
scene, but many didn't like Soul Asylum,
Carney said.

"They need to think of it as more
than Soul Asylum," he said. "If bands do
poorly there will be no alternative music
scene."

If the concert was to succeed, UPC would have sold more
tickets during the first selling week, Meri Sias, UPC member and
junior in park resources management, said.

"We only sold around 400 to 500 tickets in the first two
weeks before the concert," she said.

UPC spent about $4,000 on advertising and gave away
about 160 tickets the day of the concert.

Regardless of the efforts, fans were disappointed with the

The rock climber's fingers struggled to find hand holds in
the wall as he worked his way up the side of West
Stadium.

"The first time I climbed a big wall, the wind was blowing
and I was nervous," Drew Hartmann, rock climbing club
president and junior in mechanical engineering, said. "So I was
getting the shakes in my knees, like a sewing machine."

Nervousness and insecurity made climbing difficult at first,
but climbers' confidence and skills improved after several
practices.

"I felt like I had a lack of coordination for the first four or
five days," Bob Henning, freshman in arts and sciences, said.
"My fingers were raw from the first week of practice."

Climbers in the 35-member club practiced every Thursday
at West Stadium.

Kent McClure, rock climbing vice president and junior in
architecture, designed, paid for and built a $400 practice climbing
wall made from plywood and fiberglass for his Goodnow Hall
room.

"The principle behind it is it's a training device for isolating
muscles to strengthen them," McClure said. "Basically, you just
get on and climb around in circles for as long as you can."

After practicing and gaining experience, rock climbers went
south to experience the real thing.

Hartmann, Henning and McClure took a spring break trip
to El Paso, Texas, to climb Hueco Tanks, the premier rock-
climbing spot in the nation.

"It's the exposure and scenery that contrasts to the old
stadium," McClure said. "We are on actual rock and can climb
a lot higher. On Hueco, the climb was 300 feet."

Henning's favorite aspect of climbing was the challenge it
brought.

"It is like a puzzle, like trying to figure out a problem," he
said. "You look up and try to find your next step."

the auditions.

"The tryouts were a whole new

"It's a great opportunity for the dancers to perform in a full
theater production,'1 Vera Orlock, Winter Dance production
coordinator and professor of dance, said. "They work so hard in
the classroom, so it's nice that they can show their talents."

Directors and students sacrificed many nights and weekends
to practice for the performance.

"From the beginning of the semester, I've danced between
55 and 60 hours a week," Fox, said. "It's definitely worth all the
work."

The performance allowed students and faculty to share their
abilities and love for dance with the community.

Another performance, Spring Dance, was planned for April
12-13 in McCain Auditorium. Both events were sponsored by
the dance department.

"The benefits are two-fold," Kahlich said. "It gives the
faculty an outlet and also gives the students a chance to
perform."

The Winter Dance performance featured folk songs,
experimental comedy and classical ballet. The different styles
allowed students to experiment with new dances.

"I like ballet," Amy Leek, sophomore in dance, said. "Lately
though, I've been introduced to modern dance, which is more
natural and flowing."

"My Cup Runneth Over" was an experimental dance with
no music and Mavrovich was the choreographer and only
performer.

"I've always done someone else's piece," Mavrovich said. "It
was important for me to show some of my old teachers how
much I've improved over the years."

usiness sense

While some students claimed to have spent enough
money in Aggieville to own stock in the bars, one
student had the paperwork to prove it.

Tyler Olson, senior in marketing, was a co-owner of 12th
Street Pub.

When the bar opened Aug. 21, Olson worked an average
of 80 hours a week.

"I was training waitresses and bartenders, so I wanted to
be there a lot to help them," he said. "I am working a lot less
now and things are going smoothly."

Olson and a high school friend, Mike Robinson, Emporia
State University graduate, first looked into opening a bar
together after Kite's Bar and Grille closed in 1994.

"We wanted our bar to reflect a little of the Kite's tradi-
tion," Robinson said. "To do that we put up the kind of
pictures Kite's had and we also put up the (greek) paddles."

Students said 12th Street had a comfortable atmosphere.

"I like it because it is a sit-down, relaxing, Cheers-type
bar," Katie Linden, sophomore in pre-law, said. "It's a good
bar for people who like to just sit down and enjoy their
beer."

Both owners had previous experience working in bars.
During his senior year at Emporia State, Robinson was part
owner of a bar called Kokomo's. Although 12th Street was
the first bar Olson had owned, he was familiar with the
scene.

"I've basically grown up in the bars in Aggieville," Olson
said. "I have worked as a bartender too, but owning my own
has been more difficult than I thought."

Both owners thought the bar was successful, but Olson
said he was not thinking too far into the future.

"I might like to buy my mother's part of the business
eventually, but right now I have to finish my research paper,
so I'm trying not to worry about too much else," he said.

eighten debate

Not many students thought much about Title IX, but by
February, it had become a hot topic of discussion.

Title IX of the Higher Education Act of 1972 required all
schools to provide equitable opportunities for women and men.
For K-State to conform, money had to be generated to bring
women's sports into compliance with the regulation.

"It's not a student problem. It's an athletic problem," Brad
Finkeldei, student body vice president and senior in chemical
engineering, said.

Controversy began when the athletic department proposed
a student fee increase, changing the athletic fee ol $17 to $34.

Students opposing the increase rallied in the freespeech zone
Feb. 7.

"Don't get me wrong, I'm for Title IX," Jennifer Higerd,
junior in political science, said. "But I don't think students
should have to pay for something like this. Finding money
should be the responsibility of the administration."

Negotiations between the administration and a team of six
student representatives began Feb. 6 and by Feb. 7, a compro-
mise had been reached.

"We all agreed we need to get the money, and we're not
going to have a fee increase, so Max (Urick), do whatever you
have to to raise the money," Finkeldei said.

The athletic fee continuance bill was voted on in the Feb. 8
Senate meeting. With amendments allowing the athletic depart-
ment to raise student ticket prices and change concession sales
to raise revenue, the bill passed 42-11.

Greg McLean, ICAT president and junior in journalism and
mass communications, said students weren't afraid to share their
opinions about Title IX.

"I was impressed with the way students got involved with
this, either for or against the increase," he said. "People called
their senators for the first time and got involved."

assages didn't just relax muscles, they also improved
health by increasing circulation, decreasing blood
pressure, and releasing endorphins, the body's natural pain
killers.

After seeing how successful the previous year's Japanese
massage class was, UFM offered a self-massage class Oct. 24
and Jan. 27 and a couples-massage class Nov. 28, Dec. 5, March
19 and March 26.

"The first semester the class was offered, it filled in three
days," Linda Teener, UFM director, said. "The class was a
different, popular class because people were interested in
proper techniques and different kinds of massages. They were
interested in finding ways to relax and relieve stress."

The Jan. 27 self-massage class, which taught basic techniques,
was attended by four people.

"We learned when to do a massage and when not to," Jessica
Morgan, third-year student in veterinary medicine, said. "After
an injury, you should not have a massage."

Bernice Martin, UFM instructor and certified massage
therapist, said she wanted others to learn the importance of
correct massage methods. She began teaching the UFM classes
in the fall.

Massages were important for college students because they
helped relieve stress and consequently, improve health, Martin
said.

"When you are relaxed you can be more focused," she said.
"The more focused you are when studying, (the easier) you can
learn what you are learning and not be distracted."

The basic strokes included effleurage, a gliding motion;
petrissage, a kneading method; and tapotement, a stimulating
method.

"We are very deprived of touching in this country and it's a
fundamental need for growth and development," Martin said.

clanking rhythms of weight machines

bringing students closer to spring break

waiting in lines to use equipment

ecord numbers

1^ pring break and New Year's resolutions were credited with
W*# setting a new single-day attendance record at the Chester E.
Peters Recreation Complex.

"First of all, it's their New Year's
resolutions," Jessica Lange, building
supervisor and junior in secondary
education, said. "Everybody is working
out for spring break."

On Jan. 22, the spring semester's first
day of classes, the Rec Complex was used
by 4,153 people during the 18 hours it
was open, Derek Walters, facility
manager, said.

On the first day of classes last spring,
the complex had only 2,547 users, he
said.

The increase in use wasn't a one-day
phenomena, Walters said.

In 1994, use of the complex rose 29
percent, totaling 60,425 visits for the
year. However, total visits to the rec
increased to 210,085 in 1995.

The popularity of the complex caused
some students to wait for equipment.
"Half of the time there's not enough
steps for everyone," Kelly Hawthorne, freshman in business
administration, said about aerobic class equipment.

Sunday was the best day to work out at the Rec Complex,
Eric Rohleder, sophomore in sociology, said.

Rohleder, who worked out six days a week, said he sometimes
had to wait 10 to 15 minutes to use weight machines during the
week.

The overcrowding wasn't something Hawthorne had
predicted.

"This place is so huge and so awesome," Hawthorne said.
"There's enough (equipment) for everybody, at least it seemed
like it until now because there are so many people."

Hawthorne said New Year's resolutions played a part in the
increased use of the Rec Complex.

"I think the big reason is people's New Year's resolutions,"
she said. "They don't want to let down on them too early and
spring break is coming."

The addition came at a perfect time, said Lange, who had
worked at the Rec Complex for over a year.

Walters said the expansion increased the number of
cardiovascular machines. Before the expansion, the rec had only
35 machines and afterwards it had 92.

Another explanation for the increased popularity of the Rec
Complex was the cold weather, Lange said.

"People can't usually run (outside) during the winter time,"
Lange said.

She estimated an average of 50 people used the track for
running and walking during the busiest part of the evening.

Because the complex's increased popularity was partially due
to the approaching spring break, the number of users was
expected to decrease after the vacation.

"Once spring break comes, this place will be dead," Lange
said.

Teaching dance and gymnastics to 5-year-olds had its
perks.
"I couldn't imagine doing anything else," Michelle Jennings,

senior in psychology, said. "I get paid for doing what I love and
I get to stay in shape while doing it."

She taught tap dance lessons at Washington Dance Studio in
Manhattan, with students ranging from 5 to 10 years old.

Watching her students perform was only one benefit ofbeing
a dance instructor, she said.

"My hours aren't long, I get paid above minimum wage, and
my work schedule is consistent," Jennings said. "I also get to go
to work comfortable. I don't have to dress up."

Lisa Burnett, junior in family studies and human services, also
planned to have her own dance studio.

"I have taught dance since I was 16, and I like interacting
with the kids," she said. "I want to teach them and give back to
them what was given to me."

With students ranging from age 4 to 8, Burnett taught ballet
and tap for Manhattan Parks and Recreation.

"I love to see my students' faces just light up when they get
a new step or routine," she said. "It gives them (good) self esteem
to know they have accomplished something new."

Burnett started dance lessons at age 6 and took tap, jazz and
ballet until her sophomore year of college.

Although they often found themselves in the minority, men
also taught aspiring dancers and gymnasts.

Tim McCloud, junior in kinesiology, taught gymnastics at
the Manhattan Gymnastics Center.

He said boys should be in gymnastics to build character and
to learn commitment.

"My favorite part ofbeing an instructor is watching the kids
mature," McCloud said. "I watch them grow from not listening
to anyone to a team that works together for a certain goal."

Franklin leaves K-State to offer
new perspective on fatherhood

by Kara Rogers

After five years at K-State, Bernard
Franklin, assistant dean of student life, ac-
cepted the position of vice president and
national director of the National Center for
Fathering in Shawnee.

The center was a non-profit education
and research organization that equipped and
inspired men to become dedicated fathers.

"I am very much excited about the posi-
tion," Franklin said. "I feel there is a real
need to help men and to give them new
perspectives about their jobs and children."

In his new position, Franklin would co-
tacihtate seminars sponsored by the center,
gather data about families, travel as a spokes-
man and give direction to education and
programming for minority men.

Franklin said he would continue to work
with the University on recruiting and alumni
events.

"Bernard has been a significant member of
our K-State community as an undergraduate

in the '70s and for five years as a dean," said
Pat Bosco, dean ot student life and associate
vice president for institutional advancement.
"He has touched thousands of lives at K-State
and he will be sorely missed.

As an undergraduate, Franklin was the
first African American to be elected student
body president.

"Bernard is an inspiration to many stu-
dents because he is a fearless leader," Meredith
Mem, senior in apparel design, said.

At K-State, Franklin's duties included co-
ordinating the University's response to student
misconduct, advising groups on campus and
assisting with an African Male Symposium.

He said leaving K-State had both advan-
tages and disadvantages.

"It is somewhat bittersweet," Franklin
said. "It is bitter because you leave an envi-
ronment you love and care about, but sweet
because that environment has prepared you
to leave."

Back-lo-backterms

by Brett Mast

Becoming the first two-time student body
president in school history would be some-
thing to boast about for most students.

But that was not Jeff Peterson's style.
Instead, he chose to downplay the signifi-
cance of his accomplishment.

"In fairness, I think I'm the only one who
ran for a second term," Peterson, graduate
student in animal science and industry, said.
"As far as I know, I don't think other people
have tried it."

He said he decided to run again because
leaving projects unfinished was out of the
question.

"A lot of the issues we were working on
were long-term, like parking and open ad-
missions," Peterson said. "So we thought
one more year ot working on those issues
could help us take student government to
another level."

This attitude helped Peterson gain the
respect of others.

"As a former student body president, I
tend to judge potential student body presi-
dents on what I think their motives are,"
Bernard Franklin, assistant dean of student
life, said. "And from day one, I have noticed
Jeffs almost completely unselfish commit-
ment to the student body."

Bob Krause, vice president for institu-
tional advancement, also took notice of
Peterson's leadership qualities.

"Jeff is an exceptionally good listener and
the tenacity he has is impressive," Krause
said.

Although he was able to meet a few
people who were president before him,
Peterson was initially surprised by the de-
mands of the office.

"I don't think anyone has any idea of
what they are getting into when they run,"
Peterson said. "I knew people who were in
office and I could see that they were tired,
but I still had no idea."

Peterson said the experience he gained
his first year in office paid off.

"We learned where to spend our time
better by being a little more selective on
what we do," he said. "We know some of
the people on campus who can help us get
things accomplished."

The relationships Peterson and his staff
formed with the faculty were further devel-
oped during his second term.

"It's having close personal ties with people
that helps you get things done," he said.
"Having a year of building those makes it
easier."

Peterson said he once thought he couldn't
handle being president because of the lack of
time to do everyday things.

"I like to have fun too, so I thought
maybe I can't handle this, but I make time
for fun," Peterson said. "I like to go to the K-
State games and I try to go out with my
friends at least once in a while."

Registering for safety

by Sarah Garner

For the first time, students and faculty who
rode bicycles to campus were required to register
them with the University.

Dwain Archer, director of parking services,
said bicycle registration was started to determine
how much equipment the University would
need when more racks and signs were purchased
and the new bicycle path was constructed, among
other reasons.

"This is not a method for punishing anyone,"
Archer said. "I think the registration is a positive
move for us because of being able to retrieve
stolen bikes and return them to their rightful
owners."

The University Planning Office was sched-
uled to do a study of the bicycle program in
spring 1996 to determine how much new equip-
ment would be needed, said Archer.

Archer said although 1,200 bikes were regis-
tered with Parking Services, he was unsure how
many students rode bicycles on campus.

Johnnie Montgomery, senior in psychology,
said he favored the registration as long as it wasn't

used as a ticketing method.

"I'm trying to figure out why they're doing it,
but it's a good thing if it's helping retrieve stolen
bikes," he said. "I'm opposed to it if they're doing
it to ticket bikes. I've never heard of that in my
life."

Although registration was free, Anna Tischer,
junior in business administration, said she didn't
register her bike because she didn't believe the
University needed an additional money-making
method.

"I felt that the university got enough money as
it was by selling parking permits and parking fees
and stuff," she said. "I didn't think it was right to
get your bike locked up if it's not registered or to
pay to get it out even if the registration is free."

The deadline to register bicycles before being
fined for riding an unregistered one was originally
Oct. 1 . This deadline was moved to Nov. 1 and
then spring 1996, Archer said.

"I don't know why anyone would not want to
register their bicycle," he said. "It's for their own
good."

A change of speed

interstate highways.

65 mph. County roads would remain at 55
mph.

The new speed limits took effect March
22.

If the bill had not passed by March 8, speed
limits would have reverted to pre-1974 law.

The cost to change road signs was esti-
mated to be $340,000, said Jason Bitter,
Kansas House of Representatives intern and
sophomore in business administration.

Even with the increased costs and possibil-
ity of more accidents that would come with
the new law, students favored the proposal.

"I'd be in favor of it just because I think
everybody's already doing it and would cut
down on people trying to get away with
something they're already doing," Brian
Hatndge, junior in architectural engineering,
said. "I don't know why we shouldn't have it
if everyone's already doing it."

The possibility of an increase in acci-
dents and fatalities made some Manhattan
residents think twice about the change.

"I feel both ways. People who drive on the
interstate tend to be the people who wear seat
belts and that sometimes saves them in acci-
dents," Stephanie GaUand, Riley County EMS
services paramedic, said. "As long as people
wear their seat belts and use their heads, I guess
the increase would be OK."

Town Center builds strong foundation and
financial security through remarketed bonds

by Kara Rogers

The fear of Manhattan Town Center fore-
closing prompted the city commission to allow
Forest City, the mall's managing company, to
remarket $18.8 million in mall bonds in No-
vember.

Forest City wanted to remarket the bonds to
find lower interest rates at a time when the
economy was good.

The refinancing of the mall was beneficial
for everyone involved and it created long-term
security, Curt Wood, city finance director,
said.

"(It is) beneficial for the city because of the
lower interest rates on the bonds, and it elimi-

nated the buyer of the bonds to sell them back,"
Wood said.

The revenue bonds were sold to fund the
building of the mall, which opened in 1987.

By remarketing the bonds, Forest City was
able to escape the put option that Lennar North-
east Partnership, the former bond holder, could
exercise in 1997.

The put option allowed Lennar to force
Forest City to pay the bonds offimmediately or
the partnership would find another buyer for
the bonds.

"Forest City found another buyer for the
bonds," Wood said. "This brought lower inter-

est rates and financial security."

If Forest City had not paid off the bonds or
found another buyer, Lennar would have owned
the mall and would have had the ability to
foreclose on it.

"The possibility of the foreclosure of the
mall triggered a great deal of concern for every-
one," said Chris Heavey, Manhattan Town
Center general manager.

Wood said he was glad Forest City remained
the manager of the mall.

"They have done an excellent job and cre-
ated a foundation on sound footing," Wood
said.

Construction on K-177 to make
game-day traffic easier for fans

by Kris Bethea

Construction to expand Kansas Highway 177
from two to four lanes began in spring 1995 and was
scheduled to be completed by fall 1996.

"The actual construction (from Interstate 70 to
the Kansas River) is irritating," Jo Anna Rothwell,
sophomore in political science, said. "I can't wait to
see it when it's finished."

The construction of a four-lane bridge over the

Funding for the bridge construction was pro-
vided by the Bridge Replacement and Economic

said.

"Traffic conditions, accident history and con-
dition of existing roads determined the necessity to
improve," she said.

More than $28 million was spent improving
driving conditions in the Manhattan area, includ-
ing construction on frontage road located in front
of Wal-Mart.

"The final results of the construction will be
good," Rothwell said. "It will be easier for people
to come to basketball and football games and for

nnocent verdict ends Simpson trial

by Trina Holmes

Did he do it?

The question of whether OJ. Simpson
stabbed his ex-wife, Nicole Brown Simpson,
and her friend, Ronald Goldman, to death on
June 12, 1994, was one asked over and over
again during the nationally televised trial.

After nine months of testimony, OJ.
Simpson was acquitted by a jury Oct. 2.

According to a Courtroom Television
Network web page, prosecutors in the Cali-
fornia v. Simpson trial said after years of
abuse, O J. killed his ex-wite at her home in
Brentwood, Calif. Goldman, a waiter, was
also killed when he stopped by Nicole's
residence to return a pair of her mother's
eyeglasses that had been left at a restaurant.

There were no witnesses to the double
murder.

Prosecutors said blood evidence found at
the crime scene, in O.J.'s car and home
proved he had committed the murders.

The Courtroom Television Network's
synopsis also stated O J. said he was at home
during the incident, preparing for a business
trip he was taking to Chicago. O.J.'s lawyers
said racist police planted the evidence. They
produced witnesses and taped interviews

that showed police detective Mark Fuhrman
had a deep disdain for African Americans.

Fuhrman was the detective who found
the bloody glove at O.J.'s estate that became
central to the prosecution's case.

Defense attorneys said police contami-
nated key evidence, making it unreliable.

After approximately three hours of delib-
eration, the jury that had been sequestered
for 266 days acquitted OJ.

Over the course of the proceedings, the
trial drew mixed reactions from students.

Erin Wright, junior in interior design,
said the trial coverage got a little out of hand.

"The longer it dragged on, the less I
cared," she said. "At first, I watched it when
I had the time, but at the end, I'd rather not
have the TV on."

Not only did the trial cut into daytime
television, but Wright said it also dominated
the nightly news.

"I usually watched soaps during the after-
noon and for a couple of months, they were
on hold," she said. "And (the trial) is all the
news was about."

Dan Zook, senior in feed science man-
agement, said media coverage of the trial

was too extensive.

"I thought it was ridiculous — the whole
trial, the media coverage," he said. "They
basically turned it into a soap opera, 'Days in
the Life of OJ. Simpson.' Nobody really
cared after a while, at least I didn't."

Bill Adams, associate professor of jour-
nalism, said all the media coverage effected
the trial.

"The media didn't impact the outcome
of the trial but it had a lot of effect on the
public's opinion of the outcome," he said.
"Both the judge and the lawyers were influ-
enced by the media in the way they acted
and how they played to the cameras."

Wright said she didn't agree with the
jury's ruling.

"I think the evidence was there, and I
don't agree with the verdict at all," she said.

Zook, on the other hand, said he thought
the verdict was justified.

"I don't know if he's guilty," Zook said.
"I'm not surprised by the verdict, though.
With as much emphasis as they put on race,
it'd be hard for 12 people to say he was
guilty, especially with as many mistakes as
the cops and medical examiners made."

Nation feels government shutdowns

by Sarah Garner

When Republicans and Democrats could
not reach an agreement, Americans paid —
$1.3 billion.

Conflicts over balancing the national bud-
get caused the federal government to shut down
and government employees to be furloughed
for six days beginning Nov. 14 and 21 days
beginning Dec 16.

Conflicts arose between President Bill
Clinton and Congress over Congress' proposed
cuts in Medicare, education and environmental
funding.

When a compromise couldn't be reached,
non-essential government offices were shut
down and workers were either sent home or
asked to work without pay.

Closed facilities included government mu-
seums and military recruitment and passport
offices. Medicare contractors were asked to
continue working without pay, and the Envi-

88 -News Section—

ronmental Protection Agency shut down toxic
waste-site clean-up operations.

"Two weeks ago when a mill burned down
in Massachusetts, workers received immediate
assistance for child care, transportation and job
training," Clinton said in a Jan. 3 press release.
"Last week when 2,000 workers lost their jobs
at a Rhode Island factory, the Labor Depart-
ment could not respond at all."

A reprieve was passed Jan. 26 to keep the
federal government open until Mar. 15.

Students and professors felt the effects of the
shutdowns.

About 150 students who submitted their
financial aid application after Dec. 12 found
themselves waiting for school money, Larry
Moeder, director of student financial assistance,
said.

The University also had to wait for funds.
Because of delays in receiving grant money, the

University could end up in the red by the time
they received the grant money, Terry Johnson,
professor of biology, said.

"There are so many government-funded
things that are necessary for people to just eat,"
Johnson said. "Ours is a minor inconvenience
because it's not a matter of life and death."

He said he was unsure when the University
would receive the funding.

Beverly Page, information specialist for the
vice-provost of research, compiled a weekly
grant-description newsletter.

"For about a month there was no informa-
tion or announcements on new grant programs
and no one could call and get information
because people weren't available to answer
questions," she said.

However, for people who depended on the
government for day-to-day necessities, the prob-
lems were more than an inconvenience.

Aftermath of the Oklahoma Bombing

by Maria Sherrill

The Alfred P. Murrah Fed-
eral building in Oklahoma City
was bombed April 19 at 9:02 a.m.

The explosion killed 1 69 and
injured 500 people, ranging in
age from four months to 57 years.

"You couldn't see any trace
of a building and all the other
buildings were boarded up,"
Candace Butler, Bartlesville,
Okla., resident and graduate stu-
dent in English, said. "During
Christmas, there was a Christ-
mas tree with presents under it.
People were standing there pon-
dering and crying in memory of
and dedication to the victims."

Former Fort Riley soldiers and
Herington residents Timothy
McVey, 27, and Terry Nichols,40,
were charged with violating 11
laws, including conspiracy to use

weapons of mass destruction.

The two individuals, who
were indicted by a grand jury,
wanted the trial relocated be-
cause ol the possible effects the
bombing had on potential jurors
and judges.

In a change of venue hearing
Nov. 10, prosecutors cited laws
that required defendants to be
tried in the district and state the
crime was committed. The trial
was scheduled to start May 17 in
Lawton, Okla.

"They should be convicted.
It was a terrible thing to do,"
Michael Smith, sophomore in
fisheries and wildlife biology,
said. "No justice would be harsh
enough, but they will eventually
get what they deserve."

"Listen to Children," a pro-

gram to help Oklahoma City chil-
dren deal with their feelings and
cope with the experience, was
organized by University of Okla-
homa students and the OU Health
Sciences Center. Between 3,000
and 4,000 children participated in
the program.

Those living in Oklahoma
were not the only ones affected.

Mandy Magnison, sophomore
in psychology, said her uncle had
worked in the federal building and
was driving away from the office
when the force of the explosion
caused his truck windows to shatter.

"I called home as soon as I
heard it on the news," she said. "I
was so scared because it hit so
close to home. I think it made
everyone wake up because this
stuff could happen anywhere."

Israeli leader assassinated

by Todd Stover

The Arab-Israel peace process entered a
phase of uncertainty Nov. 4 when Israeli
Prime Minister Yitzhak Rabin was fatally
shot after speaking at a peace rally in Tel
Aviv, Israel.

The assassination shocked the world and
caused Israelis to wonder if their once peace-
ful nation could become a society of vio-
lence.

Yigal Amir, Tel Aviv area resident, con-
fessed to killing Rabin, the military hero
who led Israel from a state of war to a peace
agreement with Palestine and Arabia.

The prime minister's death was com-
memorated Nov. 13 in the K-State Student
Union when B'nai B'rith Hillel, a Jewish
student organization, and the KSU Com-
mittee on Religion and Campus Ministry
joined to sponsored a ceremony in memory
of Rabin.

Don Fallon, coordinator of religious ac-
tivities tor the dean of student life office, said
the event's purpose was to remember Rabin's
death and the hurt nation of Israel.

"It allowed us in our community to
mourn and share our feelings and grief," he
said.

The ceremony created opportunities for
people from all faiths to share their feelings,
Fallon said.

The ceremony included an invocation,
scripture readings and prayers from campus
ministers. Students also gave reflections of
Rabin's life.

"I thought the ceremony was nice, but it
was held on the main floor of the Union and
people were walking by and talking. It was
a little odd to have a ceremony in the middle
of that traffic," Debbie Perlman, senior in
marketing, said. "It did actually go very
nicely with members of the community
there, too."

Fallon said about 20 students attended the
ceremony.

"The ceremony was very helpful for the
Israeli students," Fallon said. "They were
grieving the death of Rabin and the cer-
emony helped to ease their pain."

U.S. troops sent to Bosnian front line

by Bill Bontempo and Heather Hollingsworth

President Bill Clinton presented his case
Nov. 27 from the Oval Office for sending
20,000 U.S. troops to the front line of the
NATO peacekeeping force in Bosnia, hoping
to end conflicts between the Serbs, Croats and
Bosnian Muslims.

When the United States entered the pic-
ture, Serb nationalist forces had overrun 70
percent of Bosnia's territory.

On Sept. 4, Serbs shelled a Sarajevo mar-
ketplace, killing 37 civilians. The United States,
aided by its NATO allies, took action. They
bombed key targets and destroyed communi-
cation centers, roads and supply depots.

A peace agreement was announced Nov.
21 after 21 days of negotiations at Wright-
Patterson Air Force Base in Dayton, Ohio.
Clinton called it a comprehensive settlement
to end the war in Bosnia-Herzegovina.

Stressing that America's role would not be
fighting a war, Clinton said the peace agree-

ment would require military backing.

"It will be about helping the people ofBosnia to
secure their own peace," he said. "In fulfilling this
mission, we will have the chance to help stop the
killing of innocent civilians, and especially children. "

According to a Dec. 4 press release from the
Office of the Assistant Secretary of Defense, 22
U.S. Army units and five U.S. Air Force units
had been identified for potential deployment in
the NATO Implementation Force in Bosnia.

Bart Ransone, junior in history, was one
soldier deployed to Bosnia. He was the only K-
State ROTC student deployed to Bosnia, but
110 Fort Riley soldiers were sent to the Euro-
pean Theater for future deployment.

Ransone departed for Fort Dix, N.J., en
route to an eventual Bosnia mission with the
487th Engineer Platoon National Guard Unit
from Washington, Kan., Dec. 26.

Ransone's unit was deployed for 270 days
and he was to return in mid-September 1996.

"He had an opportunity to sign an ROTC
contract and get out of going to Bosnia, but he
said he wanted to go," Capt. Brad Duffey,
assistant professor of military science, said.

After a Dec. 20-21 conference, representa-
tives from 50 countries, 20 international orga-
nizations, the European Commission and World
Bank allocated $518 million to Bosnia-
Herzegovina to cover their most urgent needs.

NATO announced Jan. 6 its forces would
begin foot patrols in the tense suburbs of Sarajevo
held by nationalist Serb forces.

The Jan. 19 withdrawal of forces from the
zones of separation in Bosnia met the Dayton
peace accords deadline.

Meanwhile, concerned parents and loved
ones awaited the return of American forces.

"There's always a chance that something
could happen," Bart's mother, Pat Ransone,
said. "I'm very proud of him, I guess my biggest
problem is I'm going to miss him."

United Nations celebrates 50 years

by Trina Holmes

The United Nations celebrated its 50th anniver-
sary in 1995.

According to the U.N. 50th Anniversary Com-
memorative Activities web page, two major events
marked the peacekeeping body's celebration — the
U.N. charter was signed June 26, 1945, in San
Francisco and was ratified Oct. 25 by the majority of
the 50 nations who signed it.

The anniversary's main events took place Oct.
24 in New York. Various communication projects
to expand coverage of U.N. activities, conferences,
symposia, concerts, art exhibits, posters and auctions
punctuated the year-long 50th anniversary celebra-
tion.

Manuri Nakkawita, sophomore in journalism
and mass communications, said her father, Janaka
Nakkawita, had been a U.N. diplomat for 28 years.
He was a representative for Sri Lanka and served as
an ambassador to Pakistan.

"I ask my dad all the time what it is he does,"
Nakkawita said. "All I see is him shaking a lot of
hands and smiling a lot. He's forever going to
diplomatic parties and dinners."

Although her father was able to participate in

some of the U.N.'s 50th anniversary commemo-
rative activities, Nakkawita said he had been
concerned with the war going on in Sri Lanka.

"He did some celebrating of the U.N.'s 50th
anniversary, but there's a war going on at home
in Sri Lanka," she said. "He's been very busy with
that lately."

Nakkawita said she was proud of her father.

"Sometimes, I look at him and think 'Wow,' "
she said. "I'll go to a function and watch him
speak, and it's hard for me to believe he's my dad.
At home, he's just a regular guy who plays games
and listens to music. But when he goes out, he
turns diplomat and shows a quiet side and talks
politics."

Enjoying her life in Manhattan, Nakkawita
said she didn't tell many people she was an
ambassador's daughter. She said she didn't think
many people would understand what that meant.

"Back home, to be an ambassador's daughter
is a big deal. It's a status thing," she said. "But I
like the local life here. Back home, I couldn't go
anywhere without a driver and a bodyguard.
Here, I can walk to class."

notes lined the edges of her daily planner,
prioritizing a hectic schedule of classes and
meetings — a schedule Glamour magazine
was looking for when selecting applicants for
its Top 10 College Competition.

An opportunity to broaden her college
experience led Michelle Munson, senior in
electrical engineering, to enter the contest
which was based on activities and involve-
ment.

"What you experience in the classroom
is only part of your college experience," she
said. "In the long run, it's sometimes worth
choosing other things over what you might
be doing academically."

Although she was aware of the compe-
tition, Munson said she waited until the last
minute to enter.

"I didn't decide to apply until literally
the weekend before the application was
due," she said. "I did it mostly because it
looked interesting and it would be worth
giving it a try."

She submitted an application listing her
campus activities, ranging from student gov-
ernment to honor programs and councils,
and an essay describing how her most signifi-
cant college accomplishments related to her
future plans.

"The one neat thing about the way they
do that is they let you send in examples of
your work, whatever it may be — anything
from a tape of a girl playing volleyball to
musical tapes of a girl playing the marimbas,
whatever you think defines you," she said.

She not only submitted her transcript,
but she also included samples of her work,
recommendations and a resume.

Entering the contest on a whim paid off
for Munson, who was chosen as a finalist and
appeared in Glamour's October 1995 issue.

Munson was one of 10 finalists flown to
New York City for five days. She was im-
pressed with the atmosphere and manner in
which the competition was held when she
arrived.

"When I went to New York, I expected
it to be glitzy and very showbiz-like but it
wasn't like that at all," Munson said. "They
didn't try to change our looks and they let us
choose what we wanted to wear during the
photo shoot. And the makeover on the last
day was totally optional."

Visiting with the past winners was an-
other advantage of Munson's trip to New
York.

"It was really impressive meeting the
past winners," she said. "They are three to
five years older and have accomplished so
many things since winning. I even had the
chance to sit next to and carry on a conver-
sation with Geraldine Feraro during a dinner
banquet one evening."

Munson said she was impressed with the
other finalists of the Top 10 College Compe-
tition.

"What I remember most is the other
girls," Munson said. "Not only are they just
great people to be friends with, but these are
people who are really going
to do something with their
lives. It's so exciting to think
that I'm going to be able to
be in contact with them."

"I don't know if this
will ever happen," she said,
"but I guess my little dream
out of this experience is that
someday we can all get to-
gether and do some sort of
community outreach
project."

in space and high silver content in water kept
undergraduate researchers busy collecting
data.

"The process of doing research takes
hours of the students' time," Gary Conrad,
protessor ot biology, said. "There are only a
few experiments being conducted this year."

Conrad said he believed students
learned best from hands-on research, so he
recruited undergraduates to help with his
experiments.

"I would rather spend my time with the
undergraduate students, because they are
very interested, and we get more research
done," Conrad said.

One experiment Conrad and his under-
graduate researchers worked on dealt with
survival through prolonged space voyages.

Astronauts would need to raise animals
and grow plants for food to survive in space,
he said.

"(When you) take a spaceship to Mars,
you can't pack enough groceries," Conrad
said. "That means you are going to have to
grow plants and animals like it was a farm on
the spaceship."

Diane Wells, freshman in microbiology,
tested the ability of chickens and quail to
survive and reproduce in zero gravity.

"What we are doing is seeing if every-
thing develops correctly. The experiment
might have a possible effect on the space
program," Wells said. "I look at different
corneal nerves of chick and quail eyes that
have developed in space."

When Conrad discovered that silver was

a water purification agent on a Russian space
station, he had another young scientist ex-
periment with the effects of silver on
human cells.

"We grew all the cells, and we used
different concentrations of silver on them,"
Chad Long, junior in biology, said. "One
concentration killed them within an hour."

The dangerous effects discovered in the
experiment caused the Russian space station
to consider adopting the NASA system of
purifying water with iodine.

"It came out with big consequences,
especially the Russians' changing their
water system," Long said. "Silver might
end up making them have more prob-
lems, such as cancers and
not fighting off diseases as
well."

Long planned to attend
medical school and hoped
the researching skills he
learned would benefit him.

"Research has made
me a better thinker," Long
said. "It has made me a bet-
ter scientist."

Collecting and analyz-
ing the information was a
good experience for under-
graduates. Wells said.

"I am astonished," she
said. "In my first semester I
started out with something
that would later tell us about
the development in space."

Real Scientists

As part of a project concerning the effects
of silver on human cells, Long looks
through a microscope at a slide of human
cells. The cells, which came from the
human tissue bank in Washington, D.C.,
died within one hour of exposure to the
silver. (Photo by Cary Conover)

becoming confused with analyzing the
demand curve, students became even more
frustrated when they discovered there was a
waiting list for help.

With 35 tutors for almost 800 students,
the tutoring center needed more tutors to
meet the demands of the waiting list.

Falling short of the more than 40 student
tutors available last year, the center placed an
advertisement in the Collegian to attract
potential tutors, Derrik Hubbard, tutor and
senior in anthropology, said.

The ad attracted more than 10 tutors in
two months, he said. After it was taken out
of the paper, students needing tutors were
still turned away.

"There are thousands of classes and our
budget would not allow us to hire that
number of tutors, so we limit it to the basic
classes like math, chemistry and physics,"
Hubbard said. "About 80 percent of the
students request assistance in those classes, so
having a couple hundred people on a waiting
list isn't that bad."

Even finding a tutor tor basic classes was
difficult, Eric VanGaasbeek, sophomore in
arts and sciences, said. He was put on waiting
lists for physics, sociology and
microeconomics.

"I ended up dropping those classes," he

said. "I didn't have the money to spend on
a professional tutor and the center was what
I was depending on."

Students lucky enough to have tutors
received free help while the tutors were paid
$5 an hour through either the Education
Opportunity Fund or Education Support
Services.

Tutoring sessions,
arranged in five-member
study groups, were based on
the tutors' class schedules.

"I think I have an ability
to explain things to students
that are sometimes hard to
understand," Hubbard said,
"Spanish classes are taught in
Spanish, and it is easier to
understand in English."

James Trout, senior in
sociology, had been tutoring
for four years. He said he
believed the program helped
the students using it.

"I tutored a girl about a
year ago who came in with a
D in Business Calculus," he
said. "At the end of the
semester, she had an A in the
class."

and dysfunctional marriages led some women
to divorce. A need for education and job
skills led them to the New Directions
program.

"A common characteristic ofthe women
who come to the program is that they need
to gain marketable skills," Shirley Marshall,
program director, said. "Otten, though, they
have low self-esteem and have come from
being abused."

Funded by grants, the New Directions
program presented personal development
workshops and helped students pay for
vocational-technical classes.

"We're not a job service," Cynthia

Shanley, program coordinator, said. "We

are basically a guidance and support service. "

With two teenagers and a lack of job

skills, Debra Pruett, junior in sociology,

realized she needed to get an

^|fc|^^ education and find a job.

(f ^m After meeting Marshall, she

decided to go to school.

"For some people,
being stuck is not
satisfactory," Marshall said.
"But some people don't
know where to go for help."

Health Services have also received assistance
trom New Directions.

Marshall sparked Pruett's interest in the
program and Pruett began putting her life
back together.

"The program helped build my self-
esteem," she said. "They presented me with
options and guidance."

Through the program, Pruett attended
workshops about resumes, women in the
work torce and women of different cultures.

"Listening to the struggles ot other
women helped me realize I was not the only
one who was scared," she said. "I came away
with a better understanding of how different
each culture is and how we all need to get
along."

After being involved with New
Directions tor tour years, Pruett still relied
on the resources provided by the program.

With Marshall's help, she applied for
scholarships for the 1995-96 school year.
Wanting to be a lawyer since childhood,
Pruett needed the scholarships to continue
taking sociology and criminology classes.

"She knew she needed to do something
with her life," Marshall said. "Some will
otten give up at first failure, and Pruett kept
going. She's been real rewarding to work
with."

road to Tiffany's started on the third floor of
Willard Hall.

"Ever since I was a child, I've always had
an urge to be an artist,"
Karen Whitmore, sopho-
more in fine arts, said. "Back
then, I didn't know I could
get a career in it."

After going to graduate
school, she wanted to work
for either Monet or Tiffany's
on a design team.

Whitmore became in-
terested in jewelry making
when she visited her uncle's
jewelry store in California.

"He had all these con-
traptions for cleaning the
pieces and he had a story
behind every stone in the
store," Whitmore said. "I
think all girls love jewelry."
Whitmore and Lee
Hallagin, senior in fine arts,
were students of Elliott
Pujol, professor of art.

When Whitmore
started taking art classes,
her mentor was Michael
Mastranardi, professor of
fine arts. He inspired her to

pursue her desire for jewelry.

"He was always encouraging me with
3-D, and he had an independent style,"
Whitmore said. "He would give us free
reign to design what we wanted. He al-
ways told me not to lose faith."

Mastranardi left in summer 1995 and
was replaced by Pujol, who taught the
jewelry and metalsmithing class.

"He's an excellent teacher who be-
lieves m a more formatted style of teach-
ing," Whitmore said about Pujol. "He's a
lot more structured than Mastranardi."

Pujol pushed his students and was
dedicated to teaching, Hallagin said.

"If I've got a problem, he usually
comes up with a number of different ways
to solve it," he said. "He pushed us to
beyond the obvious solutions."

Whitmore said Pujol had a more
structured teaching style because he
wanted students to get hands-on experi-
ence.

"They design something and then go
through the actual process of designing,
researching and constructing a piece,"
Pujol said. "My main goal is for them to
have enough knowledge so they have a
full understanding of what's out there."

Whitmore said she realized this under-

standing when her work started to pay off.
People began approaching her and asking her
to make jewelry for them.

"It's so much fun," Whitmore said. "I
have people coming up to me and asking me
where I got that piece of jewelry and when
I tell them that I made it, they want me to
make them one, too."

Although she aspired to work for a large
jewelry company, Whitmore said she
wanted to design different kinds of jewelry.

"My ultimate goal would be to design
rings, bracelets, necklaces and things like
that," Whitmore said. "I don't want to de-
sign just fine jewelry."

Hallagin became involved in jewelry
making and metalsmithing as a hobby.

"A friend introduced me to the classes,"
he said. "I really enjoyed them and changed
my major."

Hallagin was originally a chemical engi-
neering major.

"It's hard trying to get something that
looks good," he said. "You almost have to be
an engineer to do it right."

Making the pieces fit was a major part of

designing, Hallagin said.

"You have to make sure the pieces have
structural integrity," Hallagin said. "They
have to conform to the body."

He hoped to someday start his own
business.

"I would ultimately
like to open my own stu-
dio," he said. "Maybe I'll
display my work in other
galleries."

enrollment and a lack of state funding caused
a tuition increase that sent students reaching
deeper into their pockets.

Enrollment had increased 13 percent
since 1989 as state funding dropped due to
cuts in government funding, Susan Peterson,
assistant to the president, said.

Each department was responsible for
cutting their own spending.

Administrators were uncertain as to how
the financial cuts would affect the University,
Tom Rawson, vice president for
administration and finance, said.

"We're going to take a big dip, but we
will be back to the normal rate by 2000,"
Peterson said. "That is if nothing changes."
The University expected a period of
enrollment growth for the next six to eight
years, Jim Coffman, provost, said.

"K-State gets back all
its tuition money," Coffman
said. "But the more tuition
revenue we make, the less
additional funding we get
from the state."

The University com-
peted with all regent and
public schools, and other
state agencies for the same
pool of funds. In the 1995
legislative budget, $138

million was alloted for the pool. However,
this number dipped to $14 million in the
1996 budget, Peterson said.

In future years, the University might
receive more funds, but it was hard to predict
state funding, Peterson said.

"We've really stretched all our resources,
human and physical, to the max," she said.
"We've asked and people have worked really
hard at it."

For every dollar its peer universities
received, such as the University of North
Carolina, the University received 88 cents.

"We've been running short funded, a
lot less than our peer institutes," Peterson
said. "Our benchmark is our peers, and we
really are far behind them."

In June, the Kansas Board of Regents
approved linear fees to help keep future
tuition increases minimal.

However, because of the decrease in
funding, students paid a larger part of their
educational costs than in the past, Coffman
said.

Matt Weller, freshman in pre-journalism
and mass communications, was forced work
to pay for his tuition.

"For most people, it's not just going to
college anymore," he said. "You have to get
ajob to help pay for tuition, because otherwise
it's too expensive."

Standing outside the enrollment center in
Willard Hall, Hollis Berry, freshman in applied
music, studies a line schedule to find a class
to take. Due to an increase in enrollment,
students found getting into desired classes
more difficult. (Photo by Tye Derrington)

Clustered in small discussion groups,
students receive directions from Chen about
the next discussion assignment. Chen was
trilingual, speaking Chinese, English and
German, which she said increased her
understanding of language differences.
(Photo by Cary Conover)

language teachers taught more than then-
native language. Some went beyond that to
teach a language that was not just foreign to
students, but also to themselves.

Adam White, junior in music education,
took a German class from Heqing Chen,
Chinese native and graduate student in
modern languages.

"We get a different perspective than from
a regular American teacher since she's trilin-
gual," White said. "She does a fine job."

He said he thought Chen had a better
understanding than most teachers of the
language differences and seemed to know
German better than English. This some-
times made it difficult to
understand her. White said.
"(Problems with under-
standing) happen occasion-
ally," White said. "She's said
things like, 'When you take
your vocation,' instead of
'vacation.'"

Chen said she enjoyed
teaching German, despite oc-
casional misunderstandings.
"When I see my students
making progess, I can see
I'm helping them," Chen
said. "For me, that's some-

thing special because it's sometimes hard for
me to know exactly when my students
understand what I'm trying to teach them."

Timothy Etzel, sophomore in nuclear
engineering, said he enjoyed being in French
II taught by Patti Noisangsri, Thailand na-
tive and graduate student in modern lan-
guages.

"Her accent was a little strange at first and
was tough to get used to," Etzel said. "But
she tries really hard and she's a really good
teacher."

Noisaengsri said she taught French in-
stead of her native Thai language because
the University did not offer Thai. Teaching
languages that were not native to her made
it difficult to keep words straight, she said.

"It's not that hard because I love French
and I started learning it my first year of high
school," she said. "The thing that's hard is to
teach my students to love French like I do."

Noisaengsri said she did not have prob-
lems teaching French except when she con-
tused English and French.

"Sometimes when I want to speak French,
English comes out or when I want to speak
English, French comes out," she said. "I
don't think in Thai anymore because it
causes problems trying to have three lan-
guages in one brain."

by choice or because of academic require-
ments, students opted to stay at college
longer than the traditional four years.

"I'm doing this by choice in a way,"
Chris Bosco, senior in milling science man-
agement, said. "It's either stay an extra se-
mester or take a 24-hour semester in the
spring to get out in four years."

Bosco said the extra se-
Basically I'm indecisive mester not only allowed him

to finish his degree, but also
abOUt What I Want tO be and receive a business minor that

he might not have had origi-

where I want to be, but I am naiiy.

having a gOOd time and enjoy- not graduating with everyone

else," Bosco said. "It's kind of
ing College life tO the fullest like the stigma m elementary

extent. ^'m being held back."

Bosco had always taken
at least 14 hours a semester,
but with his major, the Uni-
versity recommended taking
17 hours a semester.
"Realistically, it's gotten to the point
where people need to realize they can't get
out in four years without pushing it and that's
no way to enjoy college," Bosco said.

Staying in college an extra year provided
an opportunity for Kurt Guth, senior in

study and further enjoy college life.

"It's smart to stay five years, but I think
a lot depends on your maturity level," Guth
said. "Staying another year gives you an
opportunity to gain more knowledge. I don't
think I'll be prepared enough for the real
world after four years."

Studying abroad also slowed the four-
year graduation plan.

Kris Goering, senior in secondary edu-
cation, said she had an extra year of college
because she spent a year studying in France
and was also indecisive about her major.

"Looking back, I'm frustrated that I
changed my major a million times," Goering
said. "I could've avoided staying an extra
year if I'd decided what I wanted to do
earlier."

She said it was worth staying an addi-
tional year to have the opportunity to study
in France, but like Bosco, said she sometimes
felt left behind.

"Most of my friends have moved on,"
Goering said. "They have real jobs and real
money, and here I am."

Paul Yates, junior in chemical engineer-
ing, said he did not know when he would
graduate.

"Basically, I'm indecisive about what I
want to be and where I want to be at," Yates
said. "But, I am having a good time and
accounting, to learn more about his area of enjoying college life to the fullest extent."

In the education-equipment swap, five
highway patrol officers received helicopter
flight training they could use for many tasks.
However, they had one task in mind.

"The program will be mainly directed
toward the marijuana irradication program,"
Sergeant Jim Lamb, highway patrol aircraft
coordinator, said. "They also pertain to all
phases ot drug reinforcement. The helicop-
ters' main job is the spotting of the outdoor-
grown marijuana plants."

The partnership between K-State-Salina
and the highway patrol began when the
highway patrol acquired surplus military
equipment from the drug interdiction pro-
gram, Garrison said.

acquired two turbine-powered helicopters from

the Kansas Highway Patrol as part of a joint

effort to train highway patrol pilots. The

helicopters, originally military surplus copters,

were used as part of the highway patrol's drug

interdiction program. (Photo by Jill Jarsulic)

(continued from page 1 12)

"One, they asked us to certify the heli-
copters from the surplus to civilian cat-
egory," Barnard said. "Two, they asked us
to maintain the aircraft after they had been
certified. Three, they asked us to train their
airplane pilots to be helicopter pilots."

Belore the officers could fly the helicop-
ters, however, they had to meet three re-
quirements, including completing 15 hours
of both dual and solo flight, passing a check
flight with the Federal Aviation Adminis-
tration, and obtaining a commercially rated
helicopter pilot's license.

In addition, the highway patrol asked
the University to train their airplane pilots
in helicopter flight techniques.

Of 16 highway patrol pilots, five were

selected for the program, including Trooper
Pilot One Brad Seacat.

"We all started our helicopter training
back in September," Seacat said. "Five of us
are being trained from ground up."

Three highway patrol pilots were trained
during the fall semester and the remaining
two were trained in the spring.

Law enforcement flying was not merely
flying from point A to point B, since it also
included drug raids, manhunts and service
renderings, Seacat said.

The K-State-Salina flight program was
beneficial, he said.

"It was very good training primarily be-
cause of the experience of our flight instruc-
tor," Seacat said. "He was flying helicopters
before I was even born."

should have been hours of uninterrupted
silent study rime in Farrell Library turned out
to be hours of relentless pounding and con-
tusion.

"People were wandering around, not
knowing where the books were," Chris
Kleidotsy, library employee and senior in
secondary education, said. "It's been terrible,
books being shifted around, the dirt, dust and
water leaks."

The construction, which began in 1 994,
doubled the library's floor size, increased
seating occupancy to 2,000 and created more
room for a larger collection of resource
materials.

Students not only dealt with an expand-
ing building, but also the coming of a new
name.

Following a $2 million donation made
by Joseph and Joyce Hale, Overland Park
alumni, University administrators decided
the facility needed a new name.

"With no money coming from the state,
the money is coming from donations," Brice
Hobrock, dean of libraries, said. "It reflects
that with the changing times, we must find
money from private donors."

Students said they were not well in-
formed about the name change that was to
come with the completion of the construc-
tion.

"I think the students should have been
consulted," Rob Macdougall, freshman in
engineering, said. "It's our library and we are
putting our money into it."

The administration hoped to obtain
about $5 million from student fees, which
cost each student $9.27 per semester to help
finance the project.

The library's $28-nnllion expansion and
renovation was to be completed by spring
1997.

"The quality of the old library was so
poor," Hobrock said. "This time we're
building a quality facility that will not look a
1 00 years old right after we build it, complete
with air conditioning, quality seats, 24-hour
study area with a food facility and the latest in
electrical systems."

Students and faculty
were anxious about having a
larger, modern and more
convenient library at their
disposal.

"We will finally have a
facility that is student-
friendly and one of the finest
in the nation," Hobrock
said. "We wouldn't have
been able to do it without the
students' help. They have
been veiy accommodating."

a person's heart took on a whole new mean-
ing as students reached their hands into a tub
of preserved body organs and started human
body class for the day.

"We have big tubs of different organs,
like we might have a tub of 1 0 to 15 hearts,"
Brook Donley, junior in pre-physical
therapy, said. "Everyone gets a heart or a
limb to learn with."

Reid Bauersfeld, sophomore in kinesi-
ology, said he liked the knowledge he gained
from working with the organs.

"It's like when you were a little kid and
had a toy box, but now your toys are parts of
a human body," he said.

During the lab, students studied human
anatomy using three bodies, which were
rented from the University of Kansas Medi-
cal Center.

Ann Smith, associate professor of biol-
ogy, said nearly 95 percent of colleges do not
work with cadavers because bodies are hard
to obtain.

"We are fortunate in Kansas because
back in the 1 970s the head of the KU medical
department went across Kansas asking
people to donate their bodies to science and
he had a good response," she
said.

Smith said because of
the good response, KU
Medical Center had enough
bodies to be able to rent out
three to K-State each semes-
ter.

Dissection of the bodies
was done by two cadaver
teams, consisting of 16 stu-

dents each. To become a member of the
team, students applied on the first day of class
and the professor selected 32 students from a
group of about 60, based on grades, major,
schedule and a short essay.

Members learned the material three
weeks before the other students and spent an
additional tour hours a week in lab with no
extra credit.

"We are graded tougher. We need to
get all the spellings correct to receive all
points," Donley said. "The regular students
get extra credit on the test if they get all the
spelling correct."

What the students on the team did get
was extra time working with an actual hu-
man body, giving them a better understand-
ing of the anatomy.

"It is a lot more work, but it is definitely
worth it," Donley said. "I would not trade it
for anything."

After dissecting the cadavers, members
of the team showed the other students what
they had learned, because not all students
were allowed to work hands-on with the
cadavers. Instead, they dissected rats during
labs because rat anatomy was similiar to
human anatomy.

"In our labs we basically find the same
parts of the anatomy as the cadaver team, we
just find them in a rat," Russ Radi, junior in
pre-physical therapy, said.

Unlike other classes, outside students
were not allowed to sit in on the labs.

"These people donated their bodies for
science and education, not to be viewed casu-
ally by people who just want to drop by," Ron
Gaines, assistant instructor of biology, said.

microscopic slide of human kidney cells and
records her information. Students in human
body class spent six hours a week in lab
recording observations of human and rat
anatomy. An additional four hours were spent
in lecture. (Photo by Darren Whitley)

Human body students
review parts of human
reproductive organs during
the general lab portion of
the class. Students had the
opportunity to observe a
dissected cadaver rented
from the University of
Kansas Medical School. Actual
dissection of the cadavers
was done in a specially
selected lab. The lab
consisted of two, 16-member
teams. Students interested in
being part of the cadaver
team had to apply and be
accepted by the instructor.
The students selected found
the lab beneficial and worth
the additional work. "You
get more knowledge of the
human anatomy because you
are actually dissecting a

Jacob, a grinning 3-year-old, said as he re-
moved an empty yellow pot from a plastic
stove.

Blueberry soup, building blocks and
tons of imagination greeted visitors to the
KSU Child Development Center, the sec-
ond largest of its kind in the state.

"These children are at an age of unbe-
lievable creativity," Heidi Hall, assistant pre-
school teacher, said. "This is
the perfect time to teach
them interactive skills, how
to work and share together."
Programs were avail-
able tor toddlers, pre-
schoolers and kindergart-
ners. Options were offered,
including full-day and half-
day classes, and care for
school-age children on in-
service days, Lorna Ford,
KSUCDC director, said.
The center, located in
Jardine Terrace Apartments, was open to the
children of students, faculty and staff.

Ford said 25 full-time staff members
worked with more than 1 80 children in the
two-story structure.

The preschool room overflowed with
colorful drawings, clay sculptures and art

old, sketched a blue, green and purple stick
figure.

"Look, it's Mrs. Karla," she said.

Karla Heck was the preschool lead in-
structor.

"This is an impressionable age. I'm imi-
tated," Heck said. "I have to be a referee,
teacher, mother and doctor, but above all
else I'm a role model."

Niki Schlabach, junior in business ad-
ministration, worked as a substitute teacher
and office personnel. She said the center's
program format was different than she had
expected.

"I grew up in a large family and baby-sat
quite a lot. The center is more than baby-
sitting," Schlabach said. "Teachers create
daily lesson plans and activities for the chil-
dren which help them grow as communica-
tors and thinkers."

Children learned respect and responsi-
bility from being around the center's pets.

Anxious preschoolers greeted Maxine,
the resident hamster, as she appeared sleepy-
eyed from her nest. They struggled to pet
Maxine as Heck calmly asked them to be
gentle and patient.

"The children are responsible for feed-
ing the animals," Heck said. "Not only are
they learning responsibility, they are acquir-
ing respect towards animals, towards any-

created by the children. Ashley, a 4-year- thing."

badges were not the only rewards these Girl
Scouts received.

They had the opportunity of working
with student volunteers in the Girl Scouts'
Be Your Best program, aimed at increasing
the girls' abilities, self-confidence and cul-
tural awareness and promoting healthy
lifestyles.

Volunteers received three credit hours
for taking a class offered in connection with
the Be Your Best program.

Students became involved after signing
up in education or women's studies classes.

They worked with Girl Scouts in the
fourth through ninth grade, keeping them
on task at the weekly meetings and helping
prepare activities for these meetings.

"Usually you take a group of five or six
girls and keep them on task," Susan Sumner,
program volunteer and senior in elementary
education, said. "We just make sure they're
doing what they're supposed to be doing."

Faith Brooks, program volunteer and jun-
ior in apparel design, saw benefits to Be
Your Best.

"The girls are getting educated because
the programs on Tuesdays all have different
topics that are educational and interesting,"
she said. "They get to know a lot of girls
from other schools, and they learn to relate
and communicate."

The Girl Scouts participated in aerobics,
theater, community service and horseback
riding through the program.

Older girls attended K-State women's
basketball games and informational career
sessions among other events.

LaKeisha Lawrence, Be Your Best par-
ticipant and sixth grader at Northview El-
ementary School in Manhattan, said she
enjoyed working with the college volun-
teers because they seemed to be in touch
with the girls.

"When you're listening to rap music,"

Lawrence said, "they are probably listening
to the same thing, and the older ones don't."

The girls also said the felt that they could
confide in the volunteers, Lawrence said.

"I talk to them about what happens at
school," Lawrence said. "They ask if I have
a boyfriend and I can tell them the truth.
They are real nice and friendly and you
could tell them anything and they won't
tell anyone."

Sumner said she thought
the Be Your Best program
was beneficial to both the
college students and the
young girls enrolled in the
program.

"Volunteers from

Marlene Howell's women's
studies class got to see how
the activities affect the girls
by social class, gender, etc.,"
Choitz said.

Education students also
benefted from what the pro-
gram had to offer.

"As a future teacher, I get
exposure to kids, and since
it's outside the classroom, it's a lot less
structured, so we get to know the girls
better," she said.

Girl Scouts became guinea pigs for future
teachers who were eager to test educational
practices on students.

"The College of Education students are
getting hands-on experience with the things
that they are learning in theory in the class-
room," Vickie Choitz, co-coordinator ot
the program and senior in political science,
said. "The girls seem to be more active after
they go through the program."

Choitz said she thought the eagerness of
the girls was due to the variety of activities
provided by the program.

(continued from page 123)

"I think a lot of it is that they are doing
different things than they would usually get
to do after school," Choitz said. "It increases
their abilities and confidence by knowing
that they can do these things."

She took over Be Your Best after the
program's failure in fall 1994. Only 10 Girl
Scouts were involved the first semester of
the revised program, but numbers increased
to 83 middle and grade school girls and 35
college students in fall 1995.

"I think the main problem in the past was
that they weren't planning activities that
would interest the girls," Choitz said. "They
need active things to do that will also be
educational."

Surrounded by positive role models, the
girls learned that success could be achieved
and was within their grasp, Jeana Bolton,
program specialist and senior in speech com-
munication, said.

"We have a lot of younger girls from a
lower socio-economic status and from single
parent households," Bolton said. "They see
successful people who have not only made it
through high school but are making it

through college."

The program was underwritten by orga-
nizational grants from the Manhattan Yes
Fund in fall 1995.

"We receive grants by semester," Bolton
said. "Funding is up in the
air until the last minute."

Without proper funding,
the positive effects of the
program would be lost.

"We can't change the
world through a 12-week
program," she said. "We
need to keep going, but we
have to have the funding to
do it."

According to Sumner,
the program seemed to suc-
ceed in making the girls feel
better about themselves.

"They get added self-es-
teem because it's all posi-
tive. No negative comments
are allowed," Sumner said. "They learn to
like themselves a little more because this is
the age they start getting more self-con-
scious."

docents and management interns at the Sun-
set Zoological Park discovered education
was more than textbooks and black boards
— it also involved taking care of lions, tigers
and bears.

Zoo training provided hands-on experi-
ence that helped zoo interns and docents
build on classroom activities.

"In class, I learn a lot about farm ani-
mals," Christina Madden, se-
nior in animal science and
industry, said. "At the zoo, I
learn about exotic animals
and how they behave in the
wild."

The internship program
began with a 10-week train-
ing period that all students
were required to attend be-
fore working at the zoo.

"I'm taking the class to
learn about the types of ani-
mals at the zoo," Amanda
Mouradian, freshman in pre-
veterinary medicine, said.
"I've learned that hoses al-
ways work well to control
animals."

Mouradian said the zoo
was a great place to gain ex-
perience since she enjoyed
working with animals and

educating people about them.

"I thought it would be a good place to
start gaining zoo experience," she said. "It
helped me gain experience for admittance
to vet school."

During the docent program, animals were
brought in each week to teach students facts
about each animal. With this information,
docents gave fact-based tours, Mouradian
said.

One week's animal was a three-inch long
Madagascar cockroach.

"It was about the size of my palm,"
Mouradian said. "It was a very clean crea-
ture with hooks on its feet so it could hold
on if you turned your hand upside down."

After completing the training program,
students worked various jobs at the zoo.

"I work at the ticket booth tor a job, and
I also volunteer as a docent," Madden said.

As a volunteer, she began planning for
her future.

"I'd like to start out as a zookeeper and
move up from there," she said.

Obtaining the title zookeeper, required
more thanjust the obvious. Docents did not
just give tours; they also assisted in providing
education through the animals.

"I'm in docent training because I think
zoos are really neat and I want to become a
zoo veterinarian," Mouradian said.

JUNIOR IN FISHERIES AND WILDLIFE BIOLOGY

(continued from page 126)

Martin Godlove, junior in fisheries and

wildlife biology, started working as a docent

at the zoo three years ago helping with

animal behavioral studies. He later became

an intern at the zoo.

"My time spent at the zoo
is never routine. There's al-
ways something new and dif-
ferent to do," Godlove said.
"One day I'm cleaning cages
in the primate building, the
next, I'm attending meetings
with administrators."

To meet their internship
requirements, students com-
pleted a 50-hour project that
included education, research
and animal management.
Godlove developed a program that al-
lowed Boy Scouts to earn merit badges for
learning about nature and mammals.

"I was involved with Boy Scouts through-
out grade school and high school," Godlove
said. "I decided this would be a great area to

focus my project."

About five students participated in the
internship program each semester, working
one-on-one with administrators and animal
keepers. All interns were required to also be
docents, Angie Fenstermacher, director ot
marketing and development at Sunset Zoo,
said.

"(The internship) is an intense program
with a high success rate," Fenstermacher
said. "Because our staff works by the side of
zookeepers, administrators and maintenance
staff, our interns develop the skills and talent
necessary to find a good job."

Upon their completion of the 720-hour
internship program, two of the Sunset Zoo
student interns went on to become director
of the Abilene Zoo in Abilene, Texas, as
well as the Sedgwick County Zoo director
in Wichita, Schanee Johnson, curator ot
education, said.

"The majority of zoo-internship gradu-
ates do end up getting positions at other
zoos," Johnson said. "Students leave our
program knowledgeable and well-trained."

The agriculture department was se-
lected by Cargill and Frigoscandia, food pro-
cessing equipment companies, to conduct a
13-month test to determine
the effectiveness of a process
tor killing bacteria that
caused diseases in humans.

"It's kind of like adding
mousse to your hair when
you normally only wash and
dry it," Abbey Nutsch, re-
search assistant and graduate
student in food science, said.
"It's not changing anything
they previously did. It's just
adding one more step."

The process took the
carcass through a 32-foot
steam chamber to kill Salmo-
nella, E. coli and Listeria.
"The pressurized cham-
ber causes the steam to condense like a
blanket on the carcass and heat it up to about
200 degrees Fahrenheit," Randall Phebus,
assistant professor of animal sciences, said.
"When it condenses, it kills the bacteria."
Nutsch gathered 1 40 samples from beef

carcasses to test the effectiveness of the new
process.

The promising results were to be sent to
the Department of Agriculture during No-
vember, Phebus said.

"Assuming the data looks as good as we
think it does, the USDA Food Safety and
Inspection Service will approve the steam
pasteurization chamber to go into many
slaughter chambers across the United
States," he said.

He called the steam pasteurization de-
velopment an engineering feat that could
redeem the beef industry for the first time
since the 1992 Seattle, Wash. Jack in the Box
scare that killed seven children and made
more than 500 people sick.

"This is the most exciting time that
we've seen in the last several decades of the
meat industry," Phebus said.

Cargill and Frigoscandia selected the
University to do the tests because it was
known for its beef safety testing. Although
K-State had no claim to the patent, Phebus
said the research could bring in more grants
and national recognition.

"The thing about this product is that it's
so unique," Nutsch said. "It's once in a great
while that someone comes up with a new
process that we can evaluate and get to the
commercial level so quickly."

esse ames-

professor's project took steps to end century-
old debates over the identity of who was
buried in an infamous outlaw's grave.

In 1882, Jesse James was killed and
buried at the James farm under a tree.

Around the turn of the century, his wife
was buried at the Mount Olivet Cemetery in
Kearney, Mo. James was exhumed to be
reburied beside his wife.

"It was a wet, rainy day as they lifted the
coffin out of the ground, and the bottom fell
out of the coffin," Dr. Michael Finnegan,
professor of social anthropology and social
work, said. "All the bones fell out of the
coffin. They picked up all of the bones — of
course they didn't — but they picked up
everything they could see."

James was then put in a new casket and
buried at the cemetery, he said.

Finnegan's first analysis of James was in
the late 1970s. He examined the bones that
fell out of the coffin at the original burial site.

In his second analysis, Finnegan studied
the remains buried next to James' wife. The
bones were analyzed at K-State from July 20
to Oct. 27. Many long nights went into the
analysis while the remains were at the Uni-
versity.

"The long hours are part of the job, it
doesn't matter that it was Jesse James," he said.

James was returned to Missouri for
reburial Oct. 27.

"Legally, the remains were to be rebur-
ied 90 days after the exhumation, but putting
Jesse James back in the ground on the 31st of
October, being Halloween, would be just a
little gruesome," Finnegan said.

Cemetery in Kearney, Mo., on Oct. 28.

"I was happy to finally get him out of
here because that meant that part of the
analysis was over," Finnegan said. "It also
meant TV stations wouldn't be calling to
photograph anymore."

Two graduates, Dan Kysar, 1991 gradu-
ate in anthropology, and Stephanie Teasley,
1995 graduate in anthropology, assisted
Finnegan in his analysis of James.

Bringing the alumni back to the Uni-
versity to analyze James was
good for the graduates be-
cause it gave them experi-
ence, Finnegan said.

Anthropology students
agreed the analysis had sev-
eral positive effects.

"I thought it was great
that K-State had such a big
part of it and that Finnegan
actually got invited to do it,"
Amanda Cook, sophomore
in anthropology, said. "I
think it shows a lot of our
professors' qualifications."

The publicity was good for the anthro-
pology department, Karen Book, senior in
anthropology, said.

"Our program is not very big and I think
this drew a lot of attention to it," she said.

The national attention could help in the
anthropology department and beyond,
Finnegan said.

"Seeing K-State's name in print makes it
an up-and-coming place, so people will
come here," Finnegan said. "It'll get out that

-Ray Kurtz

Chair of the elementary
education department

sitting in classrooms listening to lectures for
nearly four years, standing in tront of a class
allowed student teachers to test their skills in
the real world.

"You get to see firsthand if something
works without a professor
telling you what to do," Ja-
son Johnson, senior in
physical education, said.
"You get immediate feed-
back."

Student teaching was
the final phase in the under-
graduate education curricu-
lum, Ray Kurtz, chair of the
elementary education de-
partment, said. In the past,
only seniors had been in-
volved in classroom partici-
pation, but in recent years
juniors had followed suit, he
said.

"Student teaching gives
them the chance to partici-
pate in parent conferences,
classroom control and teach-
ing lessons in an environ-
ment where they get feed-
back from the cooperating teacher and the
university supervisor," Kurtz said.

Johnson said when he began student
teaching, he did not know exactly how to
relate to elementary children and what sort of

disciplinary techniques to use.

"I was pretty nervous," Johnson said. "I
really thought the little kids would walk all
over me."

After spending time in elementary
physical education at Woodrow Wilson and
Northview elementary schools in Manhat-
tan, he said he learned to take control right
away and set limits when managing the class.

Kena Tague, senior in English, said at first
she had been concerned about how close in age
she was with her Manhattan High School
English students. This concern was laid to rest
after entering the classroom, she said.

"It's a lot more comfortable and easier
than I thought it would be in front of the
kids," Tague said.

"We may be pretty close in age, but
college and high school are worlds apart.
They think I'm old, and I feel old."

As a student teacher, Tague planned
literature units for both her sophomore and
freshman English classes.

"It's pretty difficult because you have to
think of something to do every day, remem-
ber your objectives for testing and tie it all
together," she said. "It's more difficult before
you begin teaching because you don't really
know how long things take."

Johnson planned units for children in

physical education classes, working within

leyball, and creating different activi-
ties for the students.

"With all the resources available
from textbooks, other student teach-
ers and trom my cooperating
teacher, I had plenty to do," he said.

Graduate students also spent time
in classrooms as student teachers.

Stephanie Dyck, graduate stu-
dent in special education, worked
with Manhattan students with learn-
ing and behavioral disorders.

"Kids with learning disabilities
are taught learning strategies," Dyck
said. "With kids with behavioral dis-
orders, part of it is teaching them
social skills and how to interact with
other people."

In addition to teaching,
practicums were responsible for
writing lesson plans and tests.

"I write my own units, make up
my own composition assignments
and handouts, and assign grades,"
Tague said.

One of the things Tague found
to be difficult was 'writing the tests.

"It's difficult when you are used
to college tests to decide how much
high school sophomores should
know," she said. "I mostly go on

what I think they should know."

Student teachers kept a journal
and collected their assignments to
create a portfolio of their classroom
time. This information was turned in
to the student's University supervi-
sor at the end of each
semester.

The supervisors
also observed one class
period every two
weeks.

"She sits in the
back of the classroom
and critiques me,"
Tague said. "She tells
me what I need to
work on and what she
likes. She's really posi-
tive."

After testing her
skills in the classroom,
Tague said she would
feel more comfortable
conducting a class of
her own some day.

"I felt much more
prepared," she said.
"I'm not quite ready
for my own class, but
I'm definitely getting
the hang of it."

William Shakespeare's "Romeo and
Juliet" provides a discussion topic for
Tague during an advanced freshman
English class. Tague had worried
about teaching students who were
close in age to her, but those early
worries subsided throughout the
semester. "We may be pretty close in
age, but college and high school are
worlds apart," she said. "They think
I'm old, and I feel old." (Photo by

Student Teachers-

a health-conscious society, students were
always looking for guilt-free snacking alter-
natives.

Because of this health kick, a seven-
member team of students and faculty worked
on developing a low-fat, nutritious snack.
"We are a nation of snackers," Carole
Setser, professor of foods and nutrition, said.
"We want to develop a product that people
could sit in front of the television at night
and indulge in without feeling guilty."

The bite-size snacks were shaped like
miniature bread loaves, Carol Klopfenstein,
professor of grain science and industry, said.
The snacks were made from corn flour and
other additives.

"The snacks are crisper than bread. They
have waffle-cone textures
and look like fine-grained
bread," she said. "They're
crunchy like waffle cones."
An extrusion process was
used to make the snack. The
process, using high tempera-
tures and elevated pressure,
was a popular food process-
ing method that required
little baking, Klopfenstein said.
"Extrusion is a continu-
ous process and it can run 24
hours a day," Shanna
Claytor, graduate student in
grain science, said. "You can

make more products faster, and profit can be
increased."

Developers had not yet begun working
on the snack's taste, as they had been focus-
ing more on the texture of the product.

"Achieving the nutritional quality is easier
than achieving sensory characteristics, " Setser
said. "We can accomplish a product, but not
necessarily great sensory characteristics.

"We are worried not just about taste, but
also texture properties," she said. "We have
to achieve satisfactory texture properties."

These properties included brittleness,
crunchiness, hardness and crispness.

"Right now we're looking at how prop-
erties are changing when we change the
conditions. Each condition alters so many
things that it is very unpredictable," Setser said.

Previously published formulas provided a
base recipe for the nutritional snack.

"Ultimately, we will look at characteris-
tics of products that are already on the
market," Setser said. "We'll then see how
close we are to achieving those characteris-
tics that appeal to the market."

Klopfenstein originally came up with the
idea for the project, which the team had
been working on for three years.

"We're making good progress. Right
now it's just good, not outstanding,"
Klopfenstein said. "When we have a really
good product, it is almost a guaranteed
success in the market place."

the deformity was minor compared to the

usually resulted in deafness because the

deformity, the cattle's ear canals were

only as large as a needle point. In spite

of the deformities, the cattle were usually

Deformed Cattle-

with distorted mouths, separated noses and
disfigured limbs inspired two students to
continue the work of a deceased professor.

For the past 27 years, the K-State
Research Farm targeted mutations ot the
ears, limbs, face and skin of cattle.

Horst Leipold, professor of pathology,
began his research in 1968. When he died in
April 1995, he had discovered 23 different
defects.

Of the 10-15 cattle researched, two
split-faced Holsteins, Funny Face and Silly
Face, had the most apparent disorders.

"We are lucky to have these (cattle),"
Vrenda Pritchard, graduate student in animal
science, said. "They are the only ones (with
this genetic defect) that we know of in the
nation."

One of the cattle's horns projected side-
ways from its head and its mouth was in the
middle of its nose with a nostril on each side.
The animal's teeth protruded from the open-
ing, revealing a throat full of chewed hay.

"That's Funny Face, one of our better
known cows on the farm," Pritchard said.
"She was Dr. Leipold's favorite, probably
because she was the first that we had ever
seen."

Through his research, Leipold de-
veloped a network of people concerned
with genetic disorders, including Lloyd
Willard, instructor of diagnostic medicine
and pathology, who started working with
him in the late '60s.

"He was always very willing to go out on
a limb," Willard said. "I think that was how
he discovered a lot of the problems."

Genetic research of cattle continued
when Pritchard and J.J. Edwards, senior in
animal sciences and industry, picked up where
Leipold left off.

Many of the cattle they worked with had
been donated by local farmers hoping to find

a reason for mysterious defects that had
appeared in their herds.

"Many times Dr. Leipold would receive
calls from distressed fanners who had found
some form ot defect in the offspring ot their
cattle," Pritchard said. "He could usually tell
what was wrongjust by talking to the tanner
over the phone."

Because the cattle were donated on a
confidential basis, pictures could only be
taken for educational use.

"People don't want these pictures getting
out," Pritchard said. "They are atriad that
people will find out and think there is
something wrong with their entire herd."

In spite of their appearances and genetic
disorders, most of the cattle required no
special attention.

"Really, the only thing
they may need is a little tender
loving care," Pritchard said.

Edwards said he hoped
the experience he gained
from working with the
animals would help him.

"It's been a give-and-
take deal, but I like doing
things like this," Edwards
said. "It has broadened my
laboratory techniques and
will look good on a resume."

Working with physi-
cally disabled animals was
difficult.

"The appearance I didn't
mind. I felt sorry for them at
times," Pritchard said. "Itjust
bothered me that there are
animals like this out there
and no one was doing
anything about it. I guess
working with them helped
to take the sting away."

Genetic Oddity

into heat within 48 hours, was part of an
experiment aimed at isolating the gene

it to his destination — the face-painting room.

The student companion was a member ol the
Council for Exceptional Children and the little boy was
in a family with a disabled child.

Family Enhancement Weekend, sponsored annually
by Families Together, a nonprofit organization, helped
parents of disabled and special needs children learn about
available educational resources for their children.

About 1 0 to 1 5 CEC members worked as compan-
ions for the disabled and special needs children Nov.
11-12 during the event at the Manhattan Hohdome.

"Basically, when we have a family enhancement
weekend, the parents can get to know the things they need
to know and not worry about where their kids are," Patty
Gredel, executive director of Families Together, said.

While the parents attended sessions, their children
remained with companions who entertained them with
activities such as decorating cookies, putting on lake
tattoos and watching movies.

"We have 40 companions, one-on-one for each
child," Gredel said.

CEC helped with Family Enhancement Weekend
every year.

"We work closely with K-State," Gredel said. "A
lot of the students are going into special education and
this is good experience."

Although the weekend was spent with special needs
children, Kristen McGrath, club president and senior in
elementary education, said CEC's membership was not
limited to special education majors.

"The organization is not just for people who are
going into special education," she said. "We open the
meetings up for anyone going into teaching."

Debbie Munson, club vice president and senior in
elementary education, said the important part of work-
ing with disabled and special needs children was under-
standing they were like other children.

"I learned that children with disabilities are just like
normal children," she said. "They love to play and they
are interested in music and reading."

rading in their ID's for a tray of balls, students chalked
up savings while playing pool in the K-State Student
Union Recreation area.

The Union Rec center had sponsored billiards leagues
since 1978.

John Garetson, assistant manager ol Union Recre-
ation Services, said for $1.75 students could compete in
individual competitions or $1.25 entered them in a
doubles competition as part of a 10-week tournament.

"It's a lot cheaper (than playing in area bars)," Mike
Shirley, senior in agronomy, said. "You are saving quite
a few bucks in one night of playing pool there."

Singles games were Monday and Tuesday evenings
while doubles played Wednesday and Thursday nights.

Players said the league was a good idea, but they
wished more students participated. Between 50 and 60
students played each semester, Garetson said.

"There are more teams than in the past, but I think
that it needs more publicity," Shirley said. "I think if
students knew more about it, there would be even more
participation."

C.W. Cheney, senior in recreation and parks admin-
istration, said the tournaments helped students relax and
provided them an escape from school work.

"It's a break in the everyday routine," Cheney said.
"It's a good extracurricular activity. I think more people
should participate to really fill out the leagues nicely."

Weather conditions were a variable in student par-
ticipation. Numbers decreased during the fall because
weather was still nice and people wanted to be outside,
Garetson said.

"During the spring, numbers are up because it's still
dark and cold at night so they'll call in and play in a
league," he said.

The most beneficial aspect of the tournament was
that it was a cheap way for students to play pool,
Garetson said.

"It's an extremely inexpensive way for them to spend
their money, " he said. "Their entire league bill could be
spent somewhere else in one night."

Players met before league play started and discussed
whether or not they wanted to provide awards for the
winners. If they decided to have awards, the players had
to foot the bill for the trophy or plaque.

"We decided to not go with the trophy, but to offer
some cash prizes," Shirley said. "It costs $12 to $14 to
play in the tournament and some people have also paid
an extra $10. At the end of the tournament the top
three places will split up the money in the pot."

Many students involved weren't out for a trophy.

"I'd say half are there to compete and the other half
are there to have fun," Cheney said. "It really mixes
well."

Most students involved in the tournaments were
men, but the women who played did not feel intimi-
dated, Lindsay Mallory, freshman in engineering, said.

"They're a lot of fun to play with," Mallory said.
"We haven't met anyone who didn't want to play us
because we were girls."

Some doubles teams had played together for several
semesters. Cheney and Shirley had played together for
three semesters and said they had an advantage because
of their experience.

"You kind of know how each other shoots and
know they're dependable," Cheney said. "Knowing
how they respond to certain things is also good for the
team."

he ceramists' steady hands transformed mounds of
clay into one-of-a-kind pots.

Members of the Potters' Guild sold their handmade
pots Nov. 29 in the K-State Student Union. The sales,
which continued throughout the year, raised money for
members to attend the National Conference of Educa-
tion of Ceramic Arts in Rochester, N.Y.

Of the 15 club members, 13 planned to attend the
National Conference Mar. 19-23.

"A lot of hard work goes into getting us there,"
Sonya PauKune, Potters' Guild president and graduate
student in fine arts, said. "Without the money, we could
not have gone."

Partial proceeds from the pottery sales went directly
to the Potters' Guild club while other revenue was
donated to the creators for purchasing supplies.

PauKune said on a day when 100 percent of the
proceeds went towards the Potters' Guild, the club made
between $200 and $500, totaling about $1 ,000 per year.

"When we started, we didn't make as much money
as we wanted. We tried to develop ways to increase our
sales so the students don't have to pay as much for the
conventions," PauKune said. "Some of our ideas come
from other universities and what they are trying to do to
promote their schools."

The annual conference allowed members to learn
ceramic trends, view demonstrations, attend workshops
and exhibits and meet professional ceramists.

"It really gives the person who goes to the conference
a lot of exposure to the ceramics world," Elisa Stalker
Coats, fund raising chairman and graduate in fine arts, said.

Members who attended the national conference set up
a booth to educate other ceramists about K-State's program.

"We try to stress for graduate students, the facilities
we have, the size we are and the professors who they will
be working with," PauKune said. "We want the students
to know the beauty and atmosphere of the campus and
get involved in anything in the art department."

n preparation for the next day's Homecoming foot-
ball game, an audience of about 700 listened as the Men's
Glee Club and alumni sang fight songs of the Big 8
Conference schools.

Inviting alumni to sing with the Glee Club during
the Big 8 fight song medley had become a club tradition.

"I like singing with the alumni and I like seeing the
actions that they did back in their day," Chris Collins,
sophomore in arts and sciences, said.

The Nov. 3 concert in All Faiths Chapel also
included performances by the Women's Glee Club and
the K-State Singers.

"It's a good opportunity for families to come and hear
their students," Jerry Polich, Men's Glee Club director, said.

In addition to the Homecoming concert, the club
traveled to the Wildcats' football game at Nebraska Oct.
21, where they performed with the NU Men's Glee

Club and sang the National Anthem at the football
game. The club usually traveled to an away Big 8 football
game once a year.

Polich said the future held a slight change for the
Men's Glee Club. Although students had enjoyed a
medley of Big 8 fight songs, members would have to start
learning the Big 1 2 fight song medley.

The membership varied from semester to semester,
but the club usually had about 60 members, mostly non-
music majors, Polich said.

Although singing did not directly relate to his major,
Lance Rosenow, senior in elementary education, said it
helped relieve stress and allowed him to experiment
with music.

"I was in orchestra from fourth grade to when I
graduated from high school," he said. "I wanted to see
what I could get out of my voice."

by s ar ah garner -

artin Luther King Observance Week promoted
King's legacy and dream for equality, in spite of a one-
week delay.

After an extended winter vacation, Alpha Phi Alpha
fraternity kicked oft" the week with a candlelight vigil
that followed a Memorial Walk from Waters Hall to All
Faiths Chapel Jan. 22.

Omar Davis, junior in psychology, said the fraternity
honored King because of his involvement in the frater-
nity and his timeless message.

"During the '60s, there was a lot of injustice going on
in the United States and King thought the only solution
was equality," Davis said. "A lot oi our generation
forgets what our parents went through to achieve King's
dream."

Bernard Franklin, assistant dean of student lite, spoke
at the vigil about King and his ability to face conflict. He
urged African- American students to use conflict as a tool
for progress rather than a reason to give up.

"Black students, if they graduate, have learned how
to survive in a largely white environment," Franklin
said. "College is more of a learning experience for black
students than for white students."

Franklin said he admired King because he was not
afraid to try to change the world.

"King had a great deal of courage," he said. "He got
out of his comfort zone. Students now lack the courage
to challenge others and their beliefs and say, 'I don't
want to be friends with you if you're going to say things
like that,' or to say that they don't want to be friends with
just people of their own race."

Janet Smith, junior in modern languages, said the
observance was beneficial for the University.

"(King) paved the road to keep us from struggling,"
she said. "We needed something to overcome the
prejudice on this campus."

During the week, the residence halls focused on
educating students about diversity, acceptance and self
examination.

"Judge or Be Judged" was a program in Derby
Dining Center Jan. 24 sponsored by the Department of
Housing and Dining Services.

Student leaders acted out controversial roles, includ-
ing a resident assistant who sold drugs and a woman who
refused to date people who weren't of her race.

About 28 students attended the event and were
encouraged to ask questions and think about how the
actors handled the situations.

"(The program) is a really good way to get people
talking and to relax," Shannon Cox, sophomore in pre-
veterinary medicine, said. "They don't worry about
what they're going to say first. It comes from the gut
because it goes so fast."

She said the program helped students see things in a
different light.

"It showed that these people could be anybody and
that you can't tell by just looking at them," Cox said.
"For example, when the first guy came in, the audience

saw a big handsome guy, but he started acting like a
butthole. The second guy was little and innocent-
looking and they found out he's a drug dealer."

The College of Education sponsored a Jan. 25
seminar, "Education and Non-Violence: Questions
Children Ask."

Education students questioned and listened to a
panel of elementary, middle and high school students
talk about King's anti-violence opinions.

The week ended Jan. 26 with an All-University
Convocation Lecture, "When the Silent Should Speak,"
by Patricia Russell-McCloud, renowned orator and
president of Russell-McCloud and Associates.

Because of the growing cultural diversity on cam-
puses nationwide, college had become an opportunity
for cultural growth, Davis said.

"A lot of people who come here haven't really been
exposed to other cultures," he said. "We need to use the
growing diversity here as a chance to learn more about
other people's cultures and accept them."

ircle-K members reached out to the community with
their paint brushes.

Members of the community service organization
met Oct. 8 at the house of Ingeborg Gibbons, Manhattan
resident, to paint her carport and fence, chores Gibbons
couldn't do herself.

"I'm always really pleased to be helping people out
and to be doing something worthwhile," Ara Schlaman,
club president and sophomore in biology, said. "I like to
go out and meet people in the community and I've met
a lot of interesting people this way."

The 20-member organization became involved with
the project through Michele Lynch, executive director
of the HOME program.

HOME was a service that organized maintenance
and repairs for low-income senior citizens and disabled
homeowners, Lynch said. Circle-K participated in other
projects through HOME, including cleaning out
basements and doing yard work for area residents.

"Most of our clients are women over 62 living on less
than $8,000 a year," she said. "So what we try to provide
is a low-cost or no-cost repair service where we do things
like mow lawns, clean gutters, paint or fix windows."

Circle-K's goal was to complete at least one
community service project each month. Besides helping
with the HOME project, members also had fund raisers
for their national service project.

"The biggest thing we work on is raising money for
Iodine Deficiency Disorders," Jeff Bond, senior in
mathematics, said. "There are 1.5 billion people in Circle-
K worldwide and we are trying to raise $100,000 for IDD."

He said the group had raised $200 locally and more
than $50,000 on the national level.

"Circle-K's goal is to raise $100,000 and Kiwanis'
goal is higher than that," he said. "Every $50,000 buys
one new salt ionization plant, which saves over one
million people from IDD."

The people who benefited from Circle-K's projects
were thankful for the group's work.

"I asked the kids if they get college credit for this and
they said 'No,' " Gibbons said. "I am really glad for the
help. You don't find many kids like this."

"I think it helped us to be seen as a strong enough
organization on campus and within the community to
be able to put on an annual rodeo and special event like
this," Jeff Gibson, KSU Rodeo Club president and
senior in animal science and industry, said. "It was a
success in that everybody I've talked to enjoyed it and
said they'd come back if we did it again."

The event, sponsored by the rodeo club, provided
an opportunity for members ot the KSU Rodeo Team
to gain experience.

"The club and team came together and worked
well," Matthew Badsky, club member and junior in
agriculture technology management, said. "It was defi-
nitely successful tor us."

The rodeo club chose 40 of the 70 to 80 applicants
to participate in first-round events. Only 10 riders could
qualify for the final round.

The chosen bull riders paid a $100 entry fee.

Raymond Wessel, 1995 Professional Rodeo Cow-
boys Association circuit champion and Cedar Point
resident, won the final round after receiving 74 points
out of 100 in the first round and 86 points in the finals.
Several competitors were past rodeo champions,
life-long bull riders, and PRCA cowboys. Some of the
bulls were ridden in the National Rodeo Competition.

"The bull riders who came to this event saw a high-
class production that went off well," Jimmy White, club
rodeo chairman and senior in animal sciences and
industry, said. "Everybody enjoyed themselves."

seminars at the
center. (Photo by

hile the FONE Crisis Center was easy to reach on
the phone, the organization's office became increasingly
hard to find.

"The Center was started by an education major 26
years ago," Lynn Wootton, FONE Center coordinator
and senior in psychology, said. "It offered two services
that consisted of a walk-in service and a phone center."

Walking in was difficult because in June, the services
moved from the UFM House to Fairchild Hall. Another
move to Edwards Hall, would give the center a perma-
nent home in the spring.

"We have been displaced for the last year because the
location in Edwards was not ready for us to move in,"
Wootten said.

Education majors compiled a questionnaire about
who students turned to with their problems.

"Peers were the top choice," Wootten said. "That's
who we have working here."

The center offered guidance and limited counseling
for nearly 1,500 students a year.

Carolyn McClaskey, FONE Center adviser, said
callers benefited from talking to the center's volunteers.

"We are just a foundation," she said. "We don't tell
patients what to do. We let them try to figure out what
to do for themselves."

The center's 30 volunteers provided callers advice
ranging from what medication was safe with alcohol to
suicide counseling.

"The volunteers get experience for a psychology or
social work career," McClaskey said. "(They also ben-
efit) from their self fulfillment of helping someone."

Before a volunteer could answer the center's phones,

they had to pass an interview screening process and
attend 12 hours of training.

This included listening to guest speakers, role playing
and having group discussions, Jake Arnett, FONE Cen-
ter co-coordinator and junior in psychology, said.

"We ask for volunteers to have some experience
dealing with delicate decisions," Wootton said. "Obvi-
ously you have to have some maturity, but we also look
for how effectively people can be non-biased. Our
organization has no political stand, and that allows us not
to have any level of problem adapting to whatever
situation is presented."

Although the FONE Center screened applicants, it
seldom turned away volunteers.

"We don't honestly tell anyone that they can't attend
training," Wootton said. "At some point in time, if they
aren't up to the phone portion of the position, then we
offer other organizations that can keep them active. It's
OK for them to say that they don't think they can handle
it. We understand."

When calls took tolls on the volunteers, the center
helped them deal with the aftermath.

"Mostly, we cope just by talking to one another,"
Arnett said. "We have levels for them to go through
ending with psychologists. If for some reason they have
more problems, we can refer them to our advisory board. "

The volunteers were reminded that some matters
were out of their control.

"We always tell (the volunteers) that they are never
responsible for what a person does on the other end,"
Wootton said. "We tell them to let the organization take
over, and that they are separate from that."

erforming in front of a packed stadium caused
nightmares for some, but a two-year Classy Cat veteran
took it all in stride.

Jennifer Collier, sophomore in arts and sciences,
performed in the pre-game show of Super Bowl XXX
Jan. 28 in Tempe, Ariz.

Most performers in the show were chosen by Ameri-
can Allstar, a dance company Collier taught camps for
every summer.

Of the estimated 400 performers, 250 were local
Tempe dancers who auditioned for positions in the
American Allstar performance.

"The president of our company, Lesslee Fittsmorris,
choreographed the show," Collier said. "This is her 1 1th
Super Bowl."

Collier, a Topeka native, was used to performing for
large crowds.

"I performed in the Macy's Parade and went to the
Holiday Bowl," Collier said. "I wasn't nervous. I was
just so excited."

By attending bowl events before the game, perform-
ers were able to meet some of the players.

"I met Emmitt Smith and I didn't even know who he
was," Collier said. "We had gone to the Commissioner's
Party that Friday night and you could just look at them
and tell they're football players, but you don't know

who they are because you can't recognize them out of
uniform."

Collier said her experience with the Classy Cats helped
her prepare for the workouts before the Super Bowl.

"I worked out the Tuesday before from 4 to 10,"
Collier said. "Actually Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday,
and then Friday we had a dress rehearsal from 9 a.m. to
6 p.m. in the stadium and then the performance on
Sunday."

Collier, a leader on the Classy Cats squad, set an
example for others on the dance team, Barb Leiker,
Classy Cats coordinator, said.

"She's helped out a lot and choreographed some
halftime shows for football," Leiker said. "She's just
been a good kid and a good example."

Classy Cats were part of the band and they enter-
tained at halftime of many sporting events.

"They (Classy Cats) mean a lot to the band and they're
good at what they do," Frank Tracz, director of bands,
said. "They're a part of the overall picture of K-State, and
Jennifer is a good representation of the Classy Cats."

Collier said she planned to continue her dance career
after college.

"I would like to study at some other places for a while
and then come back and open up my own studio,"
Collier said. "That's what I'd really like to do."

"I love history and the romance involved in it," Sally
Hawley, graduate student in accounting, said. "The
SCA seems to personify that historical romance. But the
biggest reason to join is the wonderful people it has
brought me into contact with over the years, and the
fabulous fun that we have together."

Members developed accents, sewed medieval cloth-
ing and role played to portray certain characters from the

Middle Ages.

"I like sewing, some embroidery, archery and some
cooking, but I would rather help someone else, because
I haven't done much research yet," Hawley said. "I am
interested in using garb like in the movie 'Much Ado

down to earth," he said. "It's like a social party where not

everyone is out to impress everyone else."

SCA originated in 1966 when Science Fiction and
Fantasy members in Berkeley, Calif., gathered to discuss
the idea of a medieval recreation and re-enactment
group, Pat McGregor, coordinator of SCA's web page,
said.

"In the Manhattan area, there are at least 150
members," Holly Mayland, graduate student in ento-
mology, said. "Almost 75 of those are K-State students."

The society's local shire, or district, Spinning Winds
in the kingdom of Calontir, had been around for almost
1 1 years, Mayland said.

Spinning Winds sponsored a demonstration Feb. 21
in the K-State Student Union.

Members put on a live demonstration to inform
students about SCA's activities and explain how to
become involved.

"I was exposed to (SCA) at a very young age,"
Golden said. "When I came to college, it became veiy
accessible. I found out about it through the Activities
Carnival."

Every year, SCA participated in the Little Apple
Folklife Festival, building a medieval campground and
putting on demonstrations.

The group participated in several other events
throughout the year.

"Every weekend, somewhere in this four-state area,
there is an event," Mayland said. "At these events there
are merchants, fighting tournaments, arts and sciences,
court, and feast. There are also children's activities."

Events lasted anywhere from one day to a week and
they benefited all members involved, Golden said.

"If you're fun-loving and not afraid of a little work
now and again, if you love to be outdoors in the summer
and enjoy nature, if you enjoy history and think you
would like to experience it more on a first-hand basis,
then you should give the SCA a try," Hawleysaid. "We
are always ready to welcome in new time travelers."

hristian Veterinary Fellowship members took advan-
tage of every possible opportunity to worship, socialize
and study the Bible.

"The Christian Veterinary Fellowship group is im-
portant to the success of our veterinary careers and our
walk with Christ," Julie Buzby, third-year student in
veterinary medicine, said. "It means so much to me to
be involved in a group where we have prayer, social
events and fellowship."

The non-denominational group's 25 members made
time in their hectic schedules for weekly meetings in the
K-State Student Union.

"We started out meeting once a week to study the
Bible and then we all got to know each other and started
hanging out. I would say we bonded as Christians and
veterinarians," Buzby said. "We expand in our Christian
knowledge through prayer, worship and speakers."

CVF guest speakers gave members opportunities to
learn from fellow believers, while weekly Bible studies
and social activities provided for spiritual growth.

"We had various speakers speak on being veterinary
missionaries, the ethics of vets and Christianity and the
stresses of veterinary school," Barry Schwenk, second-
year student in veterinary medicine said.

Members shared their faith during Christmas season
caroling at professor's houses and the Sunset Zoo on
Dec. 1.

For the fall scavenger hunt, members divided into
teams and participated in different activities around
Manhattan.

"We measured the statue's foot in the park, walked
through Burger King's drive-thru and sang at professors'
houses," David Byerly, second-year student in veteri-
nary medicine, said.

Bells

by kristin hermes-

he Rhapsody Ringers' performance in Leavenworth
became a homecoming concert for three of its members.

During the fall semester, the 1 2 bell choir members
and their director took a road trip Nov. 19 to play at the
United Methodist Church in Leavenworth.

"Three ot our ringers grew up in that church,"
director Judy Scharmann said. "We went for the day,
rang in church, had a potluck dinner and then had a
concert that night."

Linda Nyhart, junior in psychology, had been a
Leavenworth resident and church member.

"I played in the youth bell choir at the Leavenworth
church, so it was really neat — like a homecoming
concert," she said. "With all the people who came, it
gave me a real sense of hometown pride."

When the group was not traveling, they rehearsed
weekly at the First United Methodist Church in
Manhattan, played in church monthly, gave concerts
and played for area parties and meetings, Scharmann
said.

The reason for the trip came about earlier in the
semester.

"The church has had a big turnover of member-
ship since the Fort is so close by," Nyhart said. "So
they originally wanted us to come as a fall welcome-
back concert to welcome the new and returning
members."

Evan Leonard, eight-year club member and univer-
sity payroll manager, said the trip was rewarding in
several ways.

"It was wonderful to share our music with the other
church, which was especially rewarding," he said. "But
the best part of the trip was that we all took cars, which
meant we had 2-1/2 hours to visit and get to know each
other better because really, there's not a lot of time to
visit during rehearsal."

The audience listens attentively to
the sounds of the Rhapsody Ringers
hell choir. In addition to the Rhap-
sody Ringers' performance in All
Faiths Chapel Dec. 3, the K-State
Singers, the Men's Glee Club and
Women's Glee Club also performed.
During the fall semester the bell
choir consisted of 12 members, both
men and women. The Rhapsody
Ringers rehearsed weekly at the
First Methodist Church in Manhattan
for their monthly performances.

ifty green thumbs participated in events throughout
the 75th-anniversary year of the Horticulture Club.

The week before Halloween and the football game
against Kansas, the club's 25 members sponsored a
pumpkin sale Oct. 23-28.

"We offered to paint Powercats on the sides of the
pumpkins," Jennifer Stippich, club publicity chair and
sophomore in horticulture, said. "Students and faculty
showed their school spirit (by purchasing the pumpkins) . "

Selling the pumpkins in the freespeech zone and
Aggieville during Octoberfest made the fund raiser
more successful than in the past.

"The location helped the sale," James Miller, club
treasurer and junior in horticulture, said. "We made
about $400."

The horticulture division, which had grown pump-
kins for research, sold 200 to 300 of them to the club at
a reasonable price, Eric Moore, club president and

senior in horticulture, said.

"We loaded up the pumpkins from the field," Moore
said. "At the end of the sale about 10 pumpkins were left,
so we gave them to the faculty."

The pumpkin sale was only one money-making
project the club sponsored.

In April, members sold bedding plants, which was
their largest project of the year.

"We made about $2,500, but it takes a lot of money
for the next year," Miller said. "We keep a big balance
in our account to purchase the soil, pots — and most
expensive of all — the seeds."

The successful year was due to the members' involve-
ment in the anniversary and the fundraising, Moore said.

"It's been a challenge this year," he said. "The club
has been around for 75 years and I would like to think I
contributed by getting people involved and making it
fun for everyone this year."

Centennial

by todd stover

he first edition of The Students' Herald, published
Jan. 8, 1896, became a turning point in school history,
a time when students implemented their freedom of
speech rights granted them more than 100 years earlier.

About 14,500 editions and two name changes later,
the Kansas State Collegian celebrated a century of being
nationally known as one of the best college dailies in the
country.

Hugh Zey, senior in chemical engineering, said the
Collegian was deeply rooted in school history.

"I read the Collegian everyday," Zey said. "I think it
is the main source of information to students regarding
local, national and international news."

The centennial celebration lasted throughout the
spring semester. The first event was Jan. 8 with a
Business After Hours social for the Manhattan Chamber
of Commerce. With 150 people attending the event in
the K-State Student Union, the Collegian thanked their
advertisers and the community.

"It was great to personally thank all of those who
advertise with the Collegian," Ron Johnson, director of
Student Publications, said. "If it were not for the
advertisers, the Collegian would not exist."

A Jan. 26 on-campus celebration in the K-State
Student Union included speeches from President Jon
Wefald and Student Body President Jeff Peterson.

"It was great to talk to all the Collegian staffs from the
past and talk about how the University has and has not
changed," Marlett said.

Another celebration was planned for April 18-20 at
Manhattan Country Club.

Aaron Otto, chairman of the Board of Student
Publications, said it was great to celebrate 100 years of
accomplishments.

"The Collegian has had a rich history on this campus
covering local, state and national news," Otto said. "We
have built on the past 100 years a strong foundation that
will continue to grow in the future."

ceive instruction from Gerald Spohn,
Rock Springs 4-H Center administra-
tive assistant, about the characteris-
tics of each horse. The Rock Spring's
horses were all donated or purchased
with money from donations. The ma-
jority of the horses were Palomino,
trained for inexperienced riders. Mem-
bers of the organization groomed and
saddled their own horses. The organi-
zation was open to all students inter-
ested in horses. Events made it pos-

come more familiar with horses and
gain experience with riding. (Photo by

■J> 9,

he KSU Horseman's Association brought back tra-
dition when they hit the trail.

Club members, along with their friends and family,
returned to Rock Springs 4-H Center after a year-long
break from trail-riding.

The center was located 12 miles south of Junction
City on a prairie.

"You can imagine yourself riding across the Santa Fe
Trail," J. D. Weber, senior in animal science, said. "The
only thing you can't imagine is the Indians."

About 15 students belonged to the Horseman's
Association and most attended the event.

"It (trail ride) was initially for members only, but you
pay for a string of horses, which is 20 horses," April
Martin, senior in animal sciences and industry, said.
"There aren't 20 members, so we opened it up for
members to bring a friend or family member."

The Oct. 22 trail ride was funded by the $10 annual

membership dues and by fundraising efforts, Weber,
trail rides chairman, said.

Club fund raisers, including entry fees and ticket
revenue from their annual team competitions, paid tor
the members' rides.

However, non-members had to pay $5 to ride,
Martin said.

"My mom went with me. I was going to take my
daughter, but it was really windy that day," she said. "It
was fine for adults, though."

The Horseman's Association was not just for expe-
rienced riders, Mara Barngrover, club president and
senior in animal science, said.

"The club is open to anyone in the University,"
Weber said. "Basically, it's for anyone who's interested
in horses, or knows they like horses. Our events make
it possible for novices to learn about horses."

The horses at Rock Springs Ranch were trained for
inexperienced riders.

"The horses are used to having 7-year-olds on their
backs," Weber said. "They're gentle and tractable.
They'll teach you as much as you teach them."

Although the trails were not challenging, they brought
members of the horse-riding community together, Martin
said.

"For advanced riders, it's child's play," Weber said.
"It feels out people's skill levels and gives novices
experience in the saddle."

The wranglers made deviations and took club mem-
bers on trails where they could have more saddle time,
Martin said.

The group received hands-on experience that would
be useful for less-experienced riders, Martin said.

"We saddled our own horses, and you generally
don't get to do that. But because we were the Horseman's
Association and most of us had some sort of experience,
we got to saddle them," she said. "We groomed them
down and did a lot of the things the wranglers usually do.
We saved them some time."

Members were able to ride less-experienced horses,
Martin said.

"A couple of the horses didn't have very much
experience on the trail, so they put a couple of us with
experience on those horses," she said.

Trail-ride participants also toured Rock Springs'
facilities and picnicked, Weber said.

"After the trail rides, we brought eats with us, they
provided a grill, and we generally enjoyed ourselves," he
said.

The trail rides were good for people who had horses
at home, but had no access to them while at school,
Martin said.

"Anyone who's ever had a horse knows the kind of
contact you crave," she said.

uture college leaders from around Kansas took cam-
pus by storm.

The nine members of the High School Leadership
Planning Team and the Dean of Student Life office co-
sponsored the 1 2th annual Vision '96 — A Kaleidoscope
of Leadership in the K-State Student Union Feb. 1.

The conference had speakers who focused on mo-
tivating high school students to continue being leaders.

"The main goal of the conference was to strengthen
their leadership skills," Brian Bowen, team chairperson
and junior in education, said. "They attended four out
of the 16 total speakers and all attended the keynote
speaker at the end."

Julie Grimes, program adviser, said 374 high school
juniors and seniors attended the event hoping to build
leadership skills and develop them throughout college.

Conference sponsors worked together to choose the

keynote speaker, Cara Redhair, conference promotions
chairperson and freshman in business administration, said.

"He tied what he said with our theme," she said.
"He said to open your eyes to opportunities and related
it to a kaleidoscope."

The keynote speaker, Rick Miller, said a kaleido-
scope with its many different colors and shapes was
similar to the different areas of a person's life.

"It opened their eyes to different topics like ethics,"
Bowen said. "Also multicultural talks and leadership skills
facilitated their journey from high school to college."

At the end of the conference, the high school
students gave team members feedback on the day's
events by evaluating each program and speaker.

"The conference was very successful and went
smoothly," Bowen said. "It helped to generate new
ideas for the next year."

Kansas Student National Educators Association

Heather Hinkhouse, junior in el-
ementary education, and Heather
Warta, sophomore in elementary
education, tie-dye their own T-shirts
at a presentation for the Kansas Stu-
dent National Educators Association.
Area grade school teacher Fran Irelan
presented the members of the group
with a new way of looking at teach-
ing techniques. "We were experienc-
ing how to do the concept instead of
just listening to someone speak
about it in one of our classes,"
Kristie Kerschen, KSNEA council rep-
resentative and junior in elementary
education, said. "It was a real hands-
on experience that she related to
real life very well." (Photo by Mike
Welchhans)

Manhattan's Lee
Elementary
School third-
grade teacher,
Irelan, demon-
strates the act of
tie-dying a T-
shirt to stu-
dents. She
showed future
teachers and
members of
KSNEA how they
could take fun
activities, such
as tie-dyed T-
shirts, and incor-
porate them into
a complex learn-
ing unit, such as
economics. "I
tried to share
that with the
college group,"
Irelan said. "The
main thing was
to help the chil-
dren realize that
everything has a
cost, including
labor."

Teach peace

-by j.j. kuntz and marla sherrill-

ombined efforts of an area teacher and the Kansas
Student National Educators Association sponsored
"Teach Peace: KSNEA Tie Dye '95."

Teach Peace, the year-long KSNEA theme, fea-
tured several speakers and activities, but Snehal Bhakta,
KSNEA president and senior in computer engineering,
said the Oct. 3 speaker was the most effective.

Fran Irelan, third-grade teacher at Lee Elementary
School in Manhattan, spoke about ways to incorporate
new learning styles in regular units. Irelan related tie-
dyed T-shirts to an economic unit.

"Basically, I was showing them how I took an
economic unit and applied it to an activity for my third-
grade class, showing them how to combine the two,
applying their skills to sell and applying the object," she
said.

Irelan's third-grade class' 2-1/2-month project re-
quired the students to make, sell and deliver tie-dyed T-
shirts. Students were responsible for all aspects of the
project including marketing, advertising, public rela-
tions, bookkeeping and personal checking system.

Seventy students and faculty attended the KSNEA
event. Bhakta said he could not believe how many
comments they received about Irelan's presentation.

"I think the most important thing about creativity is
to make it things that the children can relate to," Irelan
said, "something that will get themjust as excited about
it as the teacher should be."

During her presentation, Irelan had college students
tie dye T-shirts, as she had done with her third graders.

"We were experiencing how to do the concept
instead of just listening to someone speak about it in one
of our classes," Kristie Kerschen, KSNEA council rep-
resentative and junior in elementary education, said. "It
was a real hands-on experience that she related to real life
very well."

Teach Peace's focus was to create a better educa-
tional environment, Bhakta said.

"It isn't going to happen overnight. Each individual
has to do their part," he said. The only way it will happen
is if one person will contribute. Then it will be a domino
effect if everyone believes."

erforming in front of a large audience became a
passion some students could not live without.

"Anytime there is an opportunity to become in-
volved in a production, I jump at the chance," Caisha
Williams, senior in theater, said. "It's that passion thing.
People talk about having a passion for the theater and I
think I've caught the passion bug."

Each year, K-State Theatre sponsored five perfor-
mances and two dance concerts.

Eric Stonestreet, graduate student in sociology, said
deciding to audition for "Tales of the Lost Formicans,"
Feb. 15-17 and 21-24, was not an option for him.

"I've been doing theater for four years and this is my
last play," he said. "It really wasn't a decision. Rather,
when auditions come up, I audition because acting is
what I want to do."

Involvement in student productions was not re-
stricted to theater majors.

"Anyone can audition for any of our plays as long as
they are a K-State student," Kate Anderson, director of
"Tales of the Lost Formicans," said. "It doesn't matter if
they are an engineering major or a theater major and we
do try to make the auditions as user-friendly as possible
so that non-theater majors feel they can try out."

K-State Theatre auditions were at the beginning of
each semester, usually during the first two days of classes,
Anderson said.

"We do it for a couple of reasons," she said. "One,
we feel like we can more actively distribute the roles and
we also feel that the students then know, at the very
beginning of the semester, what their commitment is for
that semester and they can plan accordingly."

Committing to a production included practicing
three hours a night, six nights a week, and doing
additional preparation beyond scheduled rehearsals.

"As far as practicing by myself, I usually put in an
extra four hours a week working on my part," Williams
said. "Some of the real pushes to practicing are script
analysis as well as learning lines and cues. You have to
work with the script a lot."

After learning and memorizing the script, actors
worked on developing their roles.

were scheduled Sunday through
Wednesday prior to the final perfor-
mance. Students in the play practiced
with the rest of the cast three hours
per night, six days a week. Actors
also practiced on their own. This was
necessary because actors not only
had to memorize their lines, but had
to understand their character. (Photo

"I focus a lot on my character and how I need to act
in order to help the audience understand the charac-
ter," Stonestreet said. "I'm a different type of actor and
I take time getting to know my character. Becoming
the character makes the play more interesting."

However, getting into character was not always an
easy task.

"I play a 15-year-old in the play," Aaron Crispin,
senior in radio/television, said. "It's hard to do that
without making my character appear too old or too
young. I have trouble with that more than anything."

A love for acting was not the only thing that
motivated students to audition.

"One of the main reasons I tried out for this
production was because I knew Kate was the direc-
tor and I wanted to work with her before I gradu-
ated," Williams said. "This is my first experience
working with Kate as a director and it's been a lot of
fun."

by the royal purple staff -

rom raging debates in Washington, D.C., to protests
at K-State, former U.S. Surgeon General Joycelyn
Elders couldn't escape controversy.

Speaking Oct. 5 during Racial Ethnic Harmony
Week, Elders' pro-choice view on abortion sparked a
picket by the Students for the Right to Life organization.

"Elders was not lit to speak at Racial Ethnic Har-
mony Week," Jennifer Talkington, club president and
sophomore in speech pathology, said. "She is a pro-
moter of pro-choice and Planned Parenthood."

As students entered McCain Auditorium to hear the
speech, about 15 Right to Life picketers held signs of
protest outside and handed out pamphlets about Planned
Parenthood's promotion of abortion and a list of Elders'
controversial views.

"The protesters really didn't have an effect on me,"
Katrina Stentors, junior in accounting, said. "I was,
however, impressed with their peaceful approach. I've
seen Fred Phelps' group and they were more in your
face."

While rumors had circulated that Phelps would
picket the lecture, he failed to show up for the event.

Atter 45 minutes ot picketing, K-State Police asked
members of Students for the Right to Life to move away
from the building to a grassy area on the south side of
McCain and stop handing out pamphlets.

"I think they were expecting a more racial group,"
Talkington said. "They told us the only free-speech area
was over by the Union or in front of Anderson, but all
of campus is unrestricted to free speech."

Richard Herman, University detective, agreed dem-
onstrations were not restricted to these areas.

"These two areas are only suggested as places for
such demonstrations," Herman said. "All of campus is
open to free speech as long as groups do not block public-
entrances or induce violence."

Herman said the decision to ask the students to stop
distributing the brochures was a misunderstanding and
the students' actions were later determined to be OK.

Talkington said Students for the Right to Life would
continue to be seen and heard.

"If someone doesn't agree with something, keeping
quiet isn't going to accomplish much," she said. "You
have to speak up to make a difference."

rofessional architects, teachers and students from
Iowa to Oklahoma converged in Manhattan for the
Student, Educator, Practitioner's Forum April 7-9.

The K-State chapter of the American Institute for
Architecture Students hosted the regional convention
for their parent organization, the American Institute of
Architects.

"It was designed to bring educators and professionals
together and close the gap between them," Kim Murphy,
junior in architecture, said. "There are a lot of discrep-
ancies between what educators and practitioners think
are important."

Students were allowed to sit in on the three-day
conference and discuss how their education could be
made more practical for the real world.

Before the convention, participants gathered for an
ice breaker organized by AIAS members. The partici-
pants divided into small groups to collect puzzle pieces

and see who could put their puzzle together first.

"We hid the puzzle pieces in different stores along
Poyntz and gave people clues to find them," Misty
Hinkle, junior in interior architecture, said. "Then we
went to a bar and put the puzzle together."

Murphy said no one on the scavenger hunt knew
what the completed puzzle looked like until it was put
together to show a domed temple.

Members did not just stay in Manhattan. Some trips
sponsored by AIAS included Forum, a national AIAS
convention in Oregon; Architrek, a trip to St. Louis,
Mo., to visit the AIAS chapter at Washington Univer-
sity; and a regional convention in Nebraska.

"I've been to St. Louis several times so it wasn't as
exciting as the Oregon trip," Grace Wallace, senior in
architecture, said about Architrek. "It's always a lot of
fun to get with other students and discuss our projects,
though."

?er groups made members of United Methodist Church
Campus Ministries accountable for each other.

"The covenant discipleship groups are peer groups of
four to six students that are student led and meet once a week,
usually about an hour," Cindy Meyer, minister for UMC
Campus Ministries, said. "The groups were set up as a support
system for students."

Support groups were not new to UMC Campus Ministries.

"In the beginnings of the history of the church, members
formed support groups to be accountable for each other,"
Carey Sterrett, group facilitator and sophomore in sociology,
said. "That's what we do when we get together and talk about
things that happen throughout the week."

When the six peer groups met at the beginning of the
year, each group set forth a covenant, Sterrett said.

' 'We, as a group , decide what we want as our convenant,
she said. "We work on things we may not be good at."

Members had to agree before the group covenant was set
in stone, Meyer said.

"After the group agrees on the proposed covenant, they
go out and try to do those things during the week," she said.
"Then they get back together and go through the list of

things and talk about how they did."

Choosing a covenant was based on four areas — justice,
compassion, worship and devotion.

"Some of the covenants are often things like going to
worship, reading scripture and praying," Meyer said. "And
then some of them are more along the lines of social justice or
mission types of things. There is supposed to be a good
balance."

Sten'ett said her group developed a covenant based on
what they saw as the most important aspects of the four areas.

"In our group, part of our covenant is to go to church
every Sunday and provide an offering, stand up for what's
morally right, and try to acknowledge people on campus, " she
said. "A lot of our covenant is trying to become better people
and getting to know each other as a group."

Involvement in the discipleship groups had increased in
the past three years.

"Last year there were only two or three groups and this
year we have five," Keri Stoner, group facilitator and
sophomore in nutrition and exercise science, said. "The
program has been very successful and student participation has
significantly increased."

n the fall, the K-State Marching Band, pep band and
other ensembles heard rumors of their organizations
possibly losing privilege fees.

On Feb. 8, those rumors were laid to rest. The band
was allocated 1 percent more of the privilege fees, while
the football program lost 1 percent.

"There was a rumor going around that the band
might lose their privilege fee, but in actuality, this rumor
was a misunderstanding," John Potter, chairman of
Student Senate and junior in business administration,
said.

Frank Tracz, director of bands, said 95 percent of the
bands' budget came from privilege fees.

"We receive between $75,000 to $79,000 a year from
privilege fees, depending on enrollment," Tracz said.

The band used this money to pay for instruments,
music, uniform replacement, paperwork, secretarial duties
and instrument maintenance and repair, he said.

"I want to be part ol a band program that is of national

prominence, that is excellent, has lots of kids in it, that
serves the University, and without a budget, it can't be
done," Tracz said.

Brent Marsh, head drum major and junior in sociol-
ogy, said fee money was crucial to the marching band.

"Without the money from the flat fee, the marching
band will no longer exist," he said. "The marching band
will decrease in size, making the band smaller than it was
m the 1980s."

Band membership had increased from 125 members
two years ago to 272 members this year, Tracz said.

"There's a universal need and usage for the marching
band, basketball band and the other ensembles that affect
every student here," he said. "Our numbers have almost
tripled because of the marching band."

Student Senate worked on a solution for allocating
privilege fees that would affect organizations like the
band.

"Some areas of concern that directly affect privilege
fee groups art protecting these groups from enrollment
decreases, not enough money tor equipment, emer-
gency situations and no consideration for the marginal
cost of additional students," Jeff Peterson, student body
president and graduate student in animal science, said.
"Our solution is that fees are tied to the number of credit
hours, not students enrolled."

With the 1 -percent increase, the marching band
would receive 14 percent of the total privilege fee, Tracz
said.

"The true irony is that these kids pay the SGA fees to
fund the band, pay the credit to be in the band, pay $95
for a secondary uniform to be dressed like the band and
they sometimes do up to 20 hours of community service
while they are in the band," he said. "And they pay to
do this."

Kristine Hodges, senior in physical science, said
although the band had dealt with not having enough
money to support the size of the band before, it would
have hurt them to be put on a smaller budget.

"It would greatly disable the band as far as being able
to get new instruments, new uniforms, repair instru-
ments and to use practice facilities," she said. "I enjoy
band and I'm going to do it no matter what, but
sometimes it seems unreasonable to have us put so much
of our own money in to be able to be in the band."

tor and sophomore in pre-medicine,
requests her fellow senators research
the student health privilege fee be-
fore that next week's meeting. The
student health fee was tabled Feb. 15
because the senators felt uninformed
about the fee. Lafene had asked for a
$20 per semester increase in the stu-
dent health fee. The proposed privi-
lege fee increase would be a 3-per-
cent decrease in the center's overall
operating budget. Lafene officials said
it was needed to compensate for a
$2.4-million reserve, which had been
rapidly declining since the student
health fee was decreased from $80 to
$70 per semester in 1994. Tabling the
fee shortened the meeting by two
hours, senators said. (Photo by

Money

by surah garner

ot many students dealt with millions of dollars
everyday, but those who did took their responsibilities
seriously.

Student Governing Association oversaw a privilege
fee system of $7.7 million from fall 1995 to summer
1996.

"Students at K-State have an incredible amount of
power," Mark Tomb, privilege fee chairman and junior
in economics, said. "We have been very lucky that the
administration has allowed us to remain in control of our
fee structure."

In the spring, Student Senate reviewed more than
$3.7 million in fees, including the student health fee of
$2.5 million and the athletic fee of $600,989.

Steve Weatherman, business senator and senior in
marketing, said it was sometimes difficult to decide how
to vote on legislation involving student money.

"It's really important that students let me know how
they feel, but it doesn't always happen that way," he said.
"On issues when the students let me know how they
feel, I vote according to that, but when they don't, I have
to go with how I think they feel."

There were sometimes disagreements among sena-
tors about how they voted, said Chris Avila, SGA
treasurer/ Allocations committee chair and graduate in
counseling and educational psychology.

"Senators get caught between loyalties," he said.
"Student senators will vehemently disagree with each
other based on these loyalties."

Avila said his committee dealt with about $2.3
million each semester and Tomb said his committee
worked with approximately $7 million a semester.

These committees had eight members, each who
voted on legislation that would later go to the Senate
floor to be voted on by the entire student governing
body.

Weatherman said he sometimes felt uncomfortable
making decisions about how to spend other students'
money.

"I think it's a huge responsibility," he said. "I don't
always feel comfortable with it, but I do the best I can."

oping to compete nationally, Table Tennis Club
members took their hobby to the next level.

"I played against a man from Germany with no arms
and one leg," Joshua Bartel, KSU Table Tennis Club
president and graduate student in mechanical engineer-
ing, said. "He was incredible."

Bartel, who said he was considered a disabled table-
tennis player because he had extreme arthritis in his
joints, was on reserve for the paraplegic Olympic team.

"He is the top player on the table tennis team," David
Surowski, faculty adviser and professor of mathematics,
said. "What makes him unique is that he is disabled."

Surowski said the club played an important role in the
players' lives.

"It is something to do that I look forward to every
week," Bartel said. "I feel like I put (tennis) before my
school work."

The club had been active since July 1988, when
Surowski and Todd Cochrane, associate professor in
mathematics, formed the group.

Membership fluctuated between 10 and 15 people,
Surowski said.

"The club is a small but intense group," he said.
"What I see in the club is a steady growth in the players.
Everyone rated a good 300 to 400 points higher than
before, including myself."

Although team members traveled to competitions
together, they participated as individuals. Some mem-
bers attended up to 10 tournaments a year.

Bartel said he had seen improvements during the five
years he had played with the club.

"I used to be the worst player," Bartel said. "Now I
am ranked in the top five in the state."

Table-tennis ranking was done differently than that
of most sports. A person's ranking was not determined
by the number of games they won, but by how many
points they collected by defeating higher- and lower-
ranked opponents.

"You go to a tournament and the other person's
rating as compared to your own is what you are compet-
ing against," Jason Orme, junior in accounting, said. "It
is what determines the points you can gain or lose. You
gain points if you win, and you lose points if you lose."

Bartel said only three people in Kansas had more than
2,000 points, a mark that signified a player 'was one of the
nation's best.

"I have 1,930 points, so hopefully in the next two to
three tournaments I will reach 2,000," Bartel said. "My
goal is to reach much higher than that."

Spirit

lthough they needed 15 players to compete in a
regulation game, the women's rugby team had only 12
on their roster.

However, low numbers didn't stop them from
having a winning 8-3-1 season.

The team recruited rugby players from other teams
when participating in tournaments.

"We have good relations with KU and they helped
us out at tournaments when we needed it," Jennifer
Ohmes, club president and junior mjournalism and mass
communications, said. "Sometimes they thought they
had won the game for us but we knew we did it
ourselves."

Although the club had trouble filling the required
slots, Julie Hix, team vice president and school of
veterinary medicine research assistant, said this would
not be a problem in the future because of the increase in
returning members.

"I've been an officer since I joined the team," she
said. "We have a good base for officers. We're getting
more experience because people are staying longer."

Students and non-students could join the team.

"I first learned about the team here at K-State from
a table in the Union," Hix said. "I was interested in a
team sport and I thought rugby looked good."

Potential members were not required to be familiar
with rugby before joining the team.

"We have a lot of women participate from Fort
Riley, K-State staff, and members from the commu-
nity," Ohmes said. "We don't require any knowledge of
the game, just a love for athletics."

Becky Burton, team coach and graduate student in
biology, had been involved with the women's rugby
team since coming to K-State.

"I love the game," Burton said. "I played for five
years at the University of Montana and coached and
played at Montana State before coming here.

(continued on page 206)

(continued from page 205)

Burton had been coaching since receiving her cer-
tification from the USA Rugby Football Union.

"A lot ot people don't know what women's rugby is
about," she said. "All the rules are the same as men's
rugby, men's is just a little faster-paced."

Travel expenses exceeded the team's University bud-
get, so members had car washes and cleaned Bramlage
Coliseum to raise money to help pay expenses.

"People were good at pitching in and doing their
share," Burton said. "We want to make it as fun as
possible, so we would go out to eat or attend the
(football) game together before we worked."

The money raised not only allowed the group to
travel, but also helped them sponsor their own tourna-
ment.

"We were able to host the first tournament since
1992," Ohmes said. "We had eight teams participate
from various states."

The fall tournament Nov. 4-5 at Tuttle Creek State
Park raised money for a future travel and expense fund.
Burton said the team made about $1 ,000 from the event.

"The tournament was the highlight of the season for
the team," Hix said. "We all pulled together and worked
hard. We are a close-knit group and we work together
both on and off of the field."

embers of the University's largest international
student organization gathered to ring in the Year of the
Moth.

The lunar new year celebration Feb . 18 was the most
important festival in China, said Shucheng Zhang, Chinese
Students and Scholars Association vice president and
graduate student in pathology.

"The festival is a time for Chinese people to get
together with their families and friends," he said. "About
half of Asian countries celebrate it like we do."

The 220-member association, had organized the
New Year celebration for the past 1 0 years. Members had
the event one day earlier than the Feb. 19 holiday so

festivities could be during a weekend.

"I think it lets students in this country join in so they
could learn some Chinese traditions," Zhang said. "It also
increased the relations among the Chinese students."

About 1,250 students attended the celebration, he
said.

Wei Xu, club president and graduate student in
engineering, said members served about 15 different
kinds of Chinese food at the event.

"We prepared enough food to feed everybody,"
Zhang said. "People from China and Taiwan joined
together for the event and we felt that it was very
successful."

onung to the water's surface out of breath and
curious after following a giant sea turtle, Thomas
Hull, Scuba Diving Club president and sophomore in
pre-dentistry, hoped to share his fascination of the
underwater world with others.

"I was in the Navy when we pulled into the
Virgin Islands. I decided to try snorkeling," Hull said.
"I got behind this turtle and followed it. I forgot I
needed to go up and breathe. When I got up to the
surface I was tired, but wished that I could have
stayed down longer."

So Hull tried scuba diving and decided the sport,
a technique allowing divers more time to explore,
would be enjoyable and beneficial for other students.

"I stood before one of Dr. Lon Kilgore's classes
and asked if there would be any interest," he said.
"Seeing the hands of about 10 people out of a class of
about a 100, I felt there would be a good chance of
involvement."

Hull displayed club information in the K-State
Student Union during the fall Activities Carnival and
interested students signed a petition.

"I know the response was greater than I ex-
pected," Hull said. "Many people in Kansas can't get
over the fact that diving isn't associated with Kansas."

An article featuring the club was published in the
Kansas State Collegian during the spring semester and
the response was great, A.J. Lana, freshman in milling
science, said.

"I have never had the opportunity to go some-
where nice and dive. When I read about the club in
the Collegian, I was really gung-ho about it," Deb
Quin, printing process supervisor, said.

"I think people who are adventurous and excited
about scubadiving will get really involved."

At the beginning of the spring semester, Hull
went to the University Activities Board hoping to
become registered and recognized as University-
affiliated. In February, UAB notified him the club had
been approved.

UAB was helpful, but they weren't sure if the
group fell under the umbrella of a sport or social
organization, Hull said. To receive UAB funding, the
club needed to be a sporting group.

"If we got funding elsewhere, we could buy
equipment the whole group could use," Lana said.
"That would help everybody out with expenses."

Looking for outside funding, Hull said he spoke
with the Aggie Dive Shop owner. The club also asked
its new members for assistance.

"We are asking for dues from all members right
now, $5 from full-time students and $10 from part-
time students," Hull said.

Although experienced divers made up the club,
the members hoped to introduce other curious
students to the sport.

"It's a fast growing sport and is becoming very
popular," Lana said. "There are places around here to
dive but people just don't know about them."

One benefit of the club would be the discounts
offered through group travel rates. There were many
nearby places to dive, such as Missouri, Oklahoma
and Arkansas, Lana said.

"Just because we're in Kansas doesn't mean scuba
divers can't find an outlet," he said. "We may be able
to get special group rates at various travel agencies,
and that means that we can go to some real interesting
locales."

Hull said by establishing a scuba diving club, he
hoped to get more students hooked on the sport.

"It's a rush of hanging over a coral reef or going
down to explore a wreck. It's a different world," he
said. "It's kind of one of those things that becomes an
addiction."

Underwater at the Natatorium div-
ing well, Hull poses for a portrait.
Hull started the club with Lon
Kilgore, faculty adviser. One benefit
of the club would be the discounts
offered through group travel rates
to nearby places in Missouri, Okla-
homa and Arkansas. Although UAB
was helpful, they were not sure if
the group fell under the umbrella of
a sport or social organization. To re-
ceive UAB funding, the club needed
to be a sporting group. Looking for

revolvement in the Entomology Club required an
interest in the creepy crawlies.

"It was a sibling rivalry thing for me. When I was
about 3 or 4 my aunt took my sister aside and showed
her how a June bug was fuzzy underneath," Dean
Rider, graduate student in entomology, said. "I wanted
to know what was going on so she showed me.

"That was really, really neat — something you
never notice and there it is," Rider said. "Then I
started collecting bugs."

With more than 15 members, the Entomology
Club compiled insect collections to sell to high schools
across the state. The high school students used the
collections to study for the insect identification por-
tion ot the Future Farmers of America regional and
state contests, Rider said.

"The collection has economically important in-
sects, things that affect your household — roaches,
termites, ants and there are insects that feed on grain,"
Bob Miller, graduate student in entomology, said. "It's
important to companies so they don't lose money."

Because 66 different specimens were represented in
a collection, the club members gathered ordinary
insects, Rider said.

"We usually stay with the common stuff," Rider

said. "If you have to have 60 specimens, and you have
to collect them all over the summer, you tiy to pick
things that you know you can collect."

The state entomology contest April 27, hosted yearly
by K-State, was part of the state FFA contest. The
entomology portion of the contest attracted 150 to 200
students, Sharon Debesh, graduate student m entomol-
ogy, said.

"It gives them a start so if they decide to study later
they have the basics," Miller said.

Although undergraduates could join the club, all
members were graduate students, Rider said. They
collected insects in several ways.

"During the summer we would go to Fort Riley as
a group and collect specimens," Rider said. "That
turned out fairly well. We got a lot of aquatic insects."

Insects were also gathered from captive colonies in
the entomology department, and general entomology
and taxonomy courses required students to compile
extensive collections, Miller said.

When other methods failed, the entomology club
created a list of insects they needed, Miller said.

"Because most of us are in entomology we like to
collect insects. What happens is everybody kind ol

knows what insects we use for the collections," Rider
said. "So if you're out and you happen to see a couple of
specimens that we can use, then catch them and bring
them in."

After insects were gathered, free food motivated club
members to organize their collections.

"Our incentive to get people involved is a pizza
party," Rider said. "We have a pizza party and people
show up and pin bugs."

The Entomology Club began selling the collections
to high schools about 10 years ago. Collections cost
about $30 each, and the Entomology Club generated
between $800 and $900 a year from the sales, Rider said.

The fundraising efforts paid off when the club spon-
sored a speaker and a picnic for club members, Rider
said.

"Anyone on campus is welcome to come see the
speaker but typically just the entomology students at-
tend," Rider said. "We try to bring in someone who has
a general interest in entomology so that when he comes
in and talks to our group no one gets upset because he
specializes."

hey used fun and games to educate others about sex.

STD, HIV/AIDS Peer Educators, or SHAPE, spon-
sored a program to educate members of the Black
Student Union about diseases caused by unsafe sex.

During the Sept. 26 presentation, BSU members
participated in activities like the Risky Behavior Game
in the K-State Student Union.

"We each had a different color of postcard that
ended up like a chain, and we were all having sex with
each other," Ametria Tate, BSU member and sopho-
more in sociology, said. "Basically the game taught us
that if you had sex with one person, you have sex with
all the people they have had sex with."

More than 60 BSU members attended the event.

"We learned about diseases that some never think
about," Tate said. "Most people don't research all the
facts, and I think it is cool to remind us about all the
diseases."

SHAPE was established through Lafene Health
Center. Reita Currie, student health education repre-
sentative, said the program started as a volunteer peer
education program. Three years ago, the program
became SHAPE, and was offered as a three credit-hour
class.

"The statistics are continually changing, so we have
to educate ourselves," Shannon Yust, SHAPE, member
and senior in psychology, said. "One out of every 250
college students are HIV positive."

The group put on programs for fraternities, sororities,
University Experience classes and other organizations

"We gear it towards specific needs," Yust said. "The
black heterosexual women from rural communities are
at the top of the list for being HIV positive."

Jawwad Abdulhaqq, BSU president and sophomore
in political science, said his organization benefited from
the SHAPE presentation.

"Being African Americans, HIV and AIDS affects
us," Abdulhaqq said. "Everyone learned something and
hopefully took something from it."

The games and activities added to SHAPE's presen-
tations, promoting positive attitudes and reducing tears
related to sexual health.

"You are never too old to be reminded, and you can
always learn something new," Tate said. "You never
know what type of diseases will be out there in two years
with everyone fornicating."

explains to Emily Simpson, junior
in music education, how to write
messages on the Valentine's Day
candy grams. The group had diffi-
culties finding a place to sell the
candy grams. Because Smurthwaite
was selling a similar product, Chimes
members could not sell candy grams
in the residence halls. Instead, they
went to the greek houses and took
phone orders. The new project only
resulted in the sale of about 1 5
candy grams, which forced the group
to plan more profitable fund raisers
for the future. (Photo by Scott

Un Feb. 13 members of Chimes
prepare candy grams for delivery.
The candy grams were sold on Feb
7-9, and were delivered to stu-
dents on Valentine's Day. The
candy grams were sold for $5. Each
contained messages and Valentine's
candy such as Russel Stovers Can-
dies, peppermint nuggets and
heart-shaped chocolates. Three dol-
lars from each sale went to Chimes
scholarship funds and new member
selection, which required extensive
paper work. (Photo by Scott Ladd)

Candy

by Jessica white -

himes junior honorary got into the Valentine's Day
spirit by having a candy-gram sale.

The candy grams, which contained sweets accompa-
nied by a message, could be delivered anywhere in
Manhattan on Valentine's Day.

"There is a total of seven heart-shaped candies in a
variety ot flavors in the package," Justin Kastner, junior
in food science, said. "They write down a cheesy
message for their sweetheart and we will send it to them
on Feb. 14."

Candy grams cost $5 and $3 from each sale went
towards Chimes scholarships and new member selec-
tion, which involved a lot ot paperwork.

Hoping to market the fund raiser to a large number
of students, members came up with a strategy.

The week before Valentine's Day, members visited
greek houses, promoting their candy grams.

They planned to sell the candy grams Feb. 7, 8 and 9
in Kramer, Van Zile and Derby dining centers, Manah
Tanner, Chimes vice president and junior in human
ecology, said. Unfortunately, not everything went as
planned.

Because of conflicts with other fund raisers. Chimes
was not allowed to sell its candy grams in the residence
halls.

"We could not sell in the residence halls because
Smurthwaite was selling something similar at the same
time, so we could only sell to the greek houses," Tanner
said.

The group only sold about 15 candy grams. Tanner
said.

"We are going to have to look at another fund raiser,"
she said. "Things look a little bleak right now."

Toby Rush, Chimes president and junior in me-
chanical engineering, said the group had not sold candy
grams before.

"This is a pioneering idea," he said. "We wanted to
do something that would be fun for the whole group."

Before deciding to do the candy grams, members had
considered selling singing telegrams.

"That'd be a lot of singing, and we aren't that good,"
Tanner said.

tudent Alumni Board members spoke about student
life, class loads and living arrangements during College
Nights.

The 24 members of the Alumni Board visited seven
different Kansas high schools during the year, helping
juniors and seniors learn what to expect once they
reached college.

"Our goal isn't to focus on one aspect," Amanda
Evins, board president and senior in nutrition science,
said. "We do, however, promote group living. For
example, we speak about different living conditions —
greek or residence halls."

College Nights began by alumni board members
showing the potential students different classes they
could take and activities they could become involved
in.

Later in the evening, the students and their parents
divided into two groups. Parents listened and asked
questions about financial aid opportunities, while the
students were given information about the various
colleges on campus.

"At the beginning, we're all in a group together with

parents and students," Melissa Hurtig, sophomore in
mechanical engineering, said. "We break up into life
groups to talk about college life and into groups to talk
about careers and classes. There are also alumni there to
tell them about life after college."

Becky Klingler, director of constituent programs
for the KSU Alumni Association, said College Nights
were educational for potential students and their par-
ents.

"The college nights are very helpful to all students
planning to attend K-State or not," she said. "The
parents get the opportunity to ask financial aid officers
questions and the students get a chance to visit with
alumni and real live K-State students. They get a chance
to have their questions answered."

Recruitment was not the main goal of the program.
By presenting experiences of students at K-State, future
students got a taste of what college at any university
would be like.

"We approach it from a standpoint of presenting
K-State in a friendly and comfortable way," Evins
said.

iscussions ranging from penis enlargements to cam-
pus issues compelled students to turn oft their televisions
and tune into "A Purple Affair," the call-in radio talk
show on KSDB-FM 91.9.

Richard Allen, promotion director tor "A Purple
Affair" and sophomore in theater, said he tried to attract
special guests tor the show around the holidays.

"We get our guests locally, as well as from all over,"
he said. "If there's a minor holiday coming up, we
usually go for a national guest, but if it's a major holiday,
we try to stay local."

The show had changed during the three years it had
been on the air, Allen said.

"It didn't start out being four days a week," he said.
"Now it runs Monday through Thursday, and the topics
we have are more interesting. We have live remotes and
underwriters."

The live-remote segment ol the show was a new
addition. Heidi Evert, member of the live-remote crew
and senior in mass communications, said sometimes it
was difficult to find places to do the live remotes.

"We're kind of limited because the show's from 10
to 1 1 p.m. and it's hard to find places that are open or
willing to open," she said. "We went to Rad-A-Tat
Tattoo once. They're not normally open that late, but
they stayed open and Maggie (Otvos) got a tattoo over
the air."

Evert said she and Otvos, senior in theater, rode the
bull at Silverado Saloon and sang karaoke at The Flash-
back Lounge over the air. She said the live-remote
portion of the show was well received.

"For a week during (fall semester) finals, we didn't
do the live remote," Evert said. "A guy called in and
wanted to make sure that we were going to do the live
remote again the next semester. He said that we were the
only reason he listened to the show."

Jason Dechant, show co-host and junior in political
science, said "A Purple Affair" had improved through-
out the year.

"It's developed a lot since the beginning of the
school year," he said. "People have started to work
better together. We've gotten more consistent."

Dechant said he hoped the show would receive a
different time slot in the future.

"Next year, I want to get a new time for the show,
5 to 6 p.m., and take it to five days a week," he said. "The
10 toll p.m. time slot doesn't offer us the opportunity

guest they were not able to keep on

nection. The show aired five nights a
week from 10 to II p.m. Although
the show hoped to change its time
slot because of small audiences, it
still managed to draw notable guests
such as Fred Phelps, Topeka resident.
The hosts wanted to move the show's
time slot to 5 to 6 p.m. because
more businesses were open for their
live remote and more people would
be able to listen. (Photo by Darren

10 to 1 1 p.m. time slot doesn't offer us the opportunity

that the 5 to 6 p.m. time slot would."

Regardless of "A Purple Affair's" time slot, Allen
said the station's number of listeners had steadily in-
creased.

"We are getting more listeners than we've ever
had," he said. "We've always had a steady listenership,
but it's really been increasing lately."

Dechant said he and the show's other host, Aaron
Decker, senior in radio/television, wrote their own
questions and researched and discussed possible topics
for the show.

"Aaron Decker and I have developed a chemistry
throughout the year," Dechant said. "We have a strong
ability to work off and feed off each other in terms ot
creativity and the questions we ask."

Looking to continue improving the student-run
show, Allen said he had taken promotion by the horns.

"As long as I'm around, I hope to keep making it 10
times better," he said. "We get a lot of positive reactions
to the show. We have a steady listenership and good
hosts who deserve a lot of praise."

house of cans provided shelter for needy Manhattan-
area families during the holidays.

The Flint Hills Breadbasket and the National Society
for Architectural Engineers joined with Cats for Cans to
collect donations and canned goods during the fall.

"We collect food and donations for the Flint Hills
Breadbasket," Jason Kerns, senior in architectural
engineering, said. "Our organization, National Society
of Architectural Engineering collected 119 pounds of
food and about $20."

The collections went to help needy families during
Thanksgiving and Christmas.

Architecture students created a mock house made of
19,000 cans. The house was built Nov. 1 1 and remained
on display until Nov. 17 at Manhattan Town Center,

where donations could be made by area residents.

"It took us about six hours from start to finish," Paul
Meyer, senior in architectural engineering, said. "We also
had barrels around campus to collect canned goods in."

Students dedicated time collecting food and putting
together the house displayed in Manhattan Town Center.

"The project was mainly done by our group trom the
architectural engineering department," Shawn Slyter,
freshman in architectural engineering, said.

Slyter said he was glad to help increase awareness of
homelessness in the area.

"We take all of our collections to the Breadbasket and
then they disperse them as they see fit," Kerns said. "The
Breadbasket will then make baskets and give them to the
people in need."

SINCE 1957

LEAGUE

SAYS GOODBYE TO 89 YEARS OF

HISTORY

It started with five teams, but grew to be one of the most
competitive leagues in the nation.

The Big 8 had been home to 1 1 4 national champions, 20 Orange

Bowl winners and five Rhodes Scholar football student athletes.

Teams and fans felt the thrill of victory and the hollo wness of
defeat. Through the years, some conference teams rose to the

top, others fell to the bottom and some did a little of both.

Traditions were started and while some of these would end with

the arrival of the Big 12 Conference, others would continue for

years to come.

♦ ♦ ♦

The following special section takes a look back at the 50 years

leading to the formation of the Big 8 Conference and its 39 years

shaped the years would forever be remembered by the athletes,

fans and coaches who lived through the era.
232 -Big 8 Conference-

Timeline

1907

January 12 — a momentous

day in the history of college

sports. That day, at the

Midland Hotel in Kansas City,

Mo., representatives from the

University of Kansas, the

University of Missouri, the

University of Nebraska, the

University of Iowa and
Washington University of St.

Louis formed the Missouri

Valley Intercollegiate Athletic

Conference, which preceeded

the Big 8 Conference. League

membership expanded to

seven with the additon of

Ames College (now Iowa

State University) and Drake

University (Iowa) a mere two

months later, though they

would not participate until the

1908 season. Iowa, which had

held dual membership in the

Big 10, left the MVIAA in

1911.
Kansas College of Applied
Science and Agriculture, now
Kansas State University, joined
the league in 1913. Although
the Wildcats had competed in
football since the 1890s {1908
team above) and men's basket-

championships than all but two other conferences in
the nation, including the first-ever sweep of football and
women's volleyball national championships in 1995.

But this year marked the end of the confrence's era and
member schools planned to join the University of Texas,
Texas A&M, Texas Tech and Baylor to form the Big 12
Conference.

"While many see this as a step forward, it's still a very sad
day," Nebraska football coach Tom Osborne said. "This
conference has gone for almost 40 years without a change,
and not a lot of conferences could say that."

His Cornhuskers helped usher the conference out in
style, winning back-to-back national football champion-
ships in 1995 and 1996.

Long known as a football conference because of the
domination of Nebraska and Oklahoma, Big 8 institutions
combined for more than 100 NCAA championship titles in

Two Big 8 schools, K-State and Kansas, were among the
pioneers of women's basketball, elevating the sport to varsity
status in 1968, four years before Title IX would require
universities nationwide to add women's sports. In 1979, the
Big 8 became the first major sports governing body to
officially recognize women's sports — the NCAA followed
suit three years later.

"This is a great conference," said Missouri women's
basketball coach Joann Rutherford, one of two Big 8 women's
coaches with more than 400 wins. "The Big 8 has consis-
tently played some of the best basketball in the country."

As the Big 8 came to a close, former K-State men's
basketball coach Jack Hartman reflected on the conference
and its passing.

"It's been great," he said. "These were some of the best
teams and some of the best people I ever knew, but it's time
to look forward."

FOOTBALL

ENDS WITH A

BIG BIG BANG

BY DAN LEWERENZ

Ending its 87th season, Big 8 Conference football
went out m a blaze of glory.
Four teams — Nebraska, Colorado, K-State and
Kansas — finished in the top 10 of the Associated Press poll,
an unprecedented achievement. In tact, no other conference
had ever had four teams with at least 10 victories.

"I just think this goes to show the Big 8 is the premier
conference in America, and the Big 12 is going to be even
better," President Jon Wefald said.

All tour teams finished with impressive bowl victories.

Nebraska steamrolled through the regular season and a
62-24 win over Florida in the Fiesta Bowl.

"I was really surprised how it went," Coach Tom
Osborne said. "I expected it to be a close game and go down
to the wire. We just got momentum, got a few breaks and
things just kind of snowballed."

The Cornhuskers ( 1 2-0) were undefeated for the second
straight season and finished 7-0 m the Big Eight for the third
season in a row.

While Osborne had been in Lincoln for 23 seasons,
Colorado coach Rick Neuheisel began his first year as the
Buffaloes' coach.

The Buffs (10-2) finished the regular season with a late
touchdown pass from John Hessler to James Kidd to beat K-
State and win a berth to the Cotton Bowl, where they
stomped Oregon 38-6, finishing with a No. 8-ranking in the
AP poll.

The surprise of the conference was Kansas. Picked by
many to finish fifth, the Jayhawks (10-2) proved they were
for real with an upset victory Oct. 6 at Colorado and a 51-
30 stomping of UCLA in the Aloha Bowl.

The Hawks finished the season with a No. 10 ranking in
the AP poll.

K-State had its first 10-win season since 1910 and a win
over Colorado State in the Holiday Bowl.

"This is the way it is supposed to be," senior linebacker
Percell Gaskins said. "When you look at who's coming back,
I expect these guys to do even more next year than we did."

CATS

ALMOST LEFT OUT OF

THEIR LEAGUE

BY THE ROYAL PURPLE STAFF

Fans mourned the passing of the Big 8 Conference
knowing tomorrow they would celebrate the birth of
the Big 12 Conference. But toward the end of the
1980s, it appeared K-State would not play a part in either.

Trends like declining enrollment, the conference's
lowest; losing football teams, at the time the nation's longest
losing streak; and inadequate facilities, the worst in the Big
8, had the Wildcats eyeing the Missouri Valley Conference.

"I think that's where we were headed. Once you lose
the Big 8 and the television exposure and the Orange Bowl,
you might have a situation like Wichita State, where you
can't afford football," President Jon Wefald said.

When Notre Dame left the College Football Associa-
tion to negotiate its own television deal, the era of the mass-
media athletic conference had begun. Colorado was being
courted by the Pac-10, and the Big 10 Conference sought
Missouri. Big 8 Conference schools were forced to look at
their own institutions and ask what the future held.

"If the trends that had been established between 1981

and 1986 had continued through 1990," Wefald said,
"Kansas State would not be a member of the Big 8 today."

Such a change would have been detrimental to recruit-
ment not only of athletes, but also of students in general.

"My family has a tradition of K-State sports," Erik
Pollom, sophomore in sociology, said. "My uncle played
football here and so did my grandfather. If K-State wasn't
playing Big 8-level competition, I wouldn't have felt that
tradition to come here."

Since then, the University made a complete turnaround,
academically and athletically. Enrollment rose to record
levels in the 1990s, K-State led all public universities in
Rhodes, Marshall, Truman and Goldwater Scholarships
since 1986 and Cat football achieved unprecedented success.

"The first thing we had to do was hire a crackerjack
administrative team. Second, we had to take care of declin-
ing enrollment," Wefald said. "For football, it meant hiring
Bill Snyder and getting alumni to donate more than $10
million to rebuild our football infrastructure."

As the 1980s
draws to a
close, the
Cat's contin-
ued presence
in the Big 8

WOMEN

FIND A NEW HOME FOR

TOURNAMENT

BY DAN LEWERENZ

Among the Midwestern cities without Big 8 Confer-
ence institutions, perhaps none would miss the
conference as much as Salma.

For 10 years, the Bicentennial Center in Salina played
host to the Big 8 Women's Basketball Tournament. The
advent of the Big 12 and the new conference's desire to plan
the event at the same time and in the same city as the men's
tournament would force the event to return to Kansas City.

For Salina residents, the tournament meant more than
three days of exciting basketball — it was a source of pride
and recognition.

"I think it helped put us on the map in relation to a variety
of major basketball events," Gerald Cook, president of the
Salina Chamber of Commerce, said. "We've had a host of
inquiries from other organizations and associations who have
at some point been here for the Big 8 Tournament."

Participants said they saw that pride reflected in the
attitude ol the Salina residents.

"Fm not sure there's any group of people outside

Lawrence who gave us a wanner welcome every year,"
Kansas coach Marian Washington, whose Jayhawks won
three tournament crowns in Salina, said. "We enjoy coming
here every year, and we just hope we can provide a good
show for the fans. They earned it."

Wildcat sophomore point guard Amanda Chamberlain
said the Cats appreciated the reception they received in Salina
year after year.

"The local alumni always host a banquet for us, but it's
more than that," she said. "There's always a good K-State
crowd here, but they love the game no matter who's playing."

While Chamberlain and the rest of the Big 8 would have
to deal with a relocated tournament in coming years, Salina
residents were satisfied they had made their mark on the
tournament — and the sport.

"When we got the tournament, we took a game that was
playing second string to men's basketball in Kansas City and
built it into a major sport and a major attraction," Cook said.
"That's what Salina is most proud of."

Three years ago, baseball coach
Mike Clark faced a monumen-
tal decision — a decision that
could have affected the fate of
his baseball team for years to come.

"At that time, our team was OK,
but it didn't have the talent that was
needed to compete in the Big 8 Confer-
ence," Clark said. "So we had to make a
big decision — do we go for the quick
fix and bring in a bunch of transfer
students, or do we go with some
younger kids?"

Clark gambled on the second op-
tion, taking a chance with a talented but
young squad.

"We knew in the fall that the talent
was there," he said. "The potential was
good. We said to those kids, 'All right,
we're going to have a real struggle for a
year or so, but when you get older, we
have a chance of being something spe-
cial.'"

A psychic couldn't have been more
accurate. Clark and his team struggled
through the 1994 season, finishing with
a 13-43 record, winningjust three Big 8
games.

"The hardest thing we had to do
that year was to stay positive," he said. "I
mean, there were some games when I'd
leave the ballpark and I'd be sick to my
stomach. I'd go out on the back patio of
my house andjust sit there and watchjets
fly over until three in the morning,
thinking, 'This is really tough.'"

Clark wasn't just watching as those
jets flew by. He was also thinking about
two other job offers.

"I know there are maybe betterjobs
out there, but those are for other
people," he said. "I knew the bestjob in
the world for me was at Kansas State."

So Clark stuck it out through the
hard times, as did his players.

"It was very frustrating. But Coach

by n i co

Clark never lost faith m us," sophomore
second baseman Scott Peopard said. "He
was always very confident and encour-
aging, and people respected him."

Clark said even through the hard
times he had faith in the team.

"Every once in awhile, they'd show
you a little glimpse of their talent," he
said. "Or they'd show it for seven in-
nings, and then, wham, we'd get hit with
a six-run eighth inning.

"If you remember, one of our big
wins was against Oklahoma that year,"
Clark said. "We're in the middle of a 13-
or 14-game losing streak, and here we
knock off a team that wins the College
World Series. We knew it was just a
matter of time before their talent became
a reality."

That time came when the Cats fin-
ished the 1995 season with a 29-24
record, placing third in the Big 8 Tour-
nament, the best performance in school
history.

"Last season helped our program
tremendously," he said. "It gave cred-
ibility to what we'd been doing. If we'd
have gone through another 13-43 year,
we wouldn't have credibility with these
kids. There would be doubts about
them, and I'm sure I would have
doubted what they could do."

Clark no longer had many doubts
about his team.

"I think maybe we've got the team
right now that can win the Big 8 Con-
ference and be the first conference
champions for K-State since 1933," he
said.

"So now when I'm driving back
from a recruiting visit at 2:30 in the
morning, if I get a little depressed, all I do
is think, 'Hey, my whole goal is to 'walk
off the field one of these days with a
conference championship,'" Clark said.
"That just gets me going again."

"Breakthrough. Last season was really a
breakthrough year for the kids and hopefully for the
program's future," he said.

Clark and the Wildcats endured a 13-43 season in
1994, and then witnessed that same team mature into
a formidable conference force in 1 995 — a force strong
enough to finish third in the Big 8 Tournament and
improve its record by 16 games to 29-24 overall.

But Clark said it did not surprise him. It was just
a matter of time.

"It was a situation where I think potential turned
into reality," he said. "We all knew those guys could do
those things on the playing field, and they all went out
and did them, and they all had great years."

Among the Cats who received recognition for
their outstanding seasons were junior right fielder Chris
Hess, junior pitcher Matt Koeman and sophomore
second baseman Scott Poepard. All three players were
selected to the all-Big 8 first team, something that had
not happened since 1968.

Hess led the team in hitting at .387 and finished as
the Big 8's fourth-best hitter. He also became a third-
time first-team member of the Phillips 66 Academic
all-Big 8 honor roll.

Koeman was 6-2 on the year overall and 3-1 in
league play. Some highlights of his season included a
two-hit win against Oklahoma, the defending College
World Series Champion, as well as a three-hit complete
game victory over Oklahoma State. That performance
was enough to earn Koeman all-Big 8 Tournament
honors.

State Shockers April 6, David Hendrix, junior designated

hitter, receives high fives from teammates. Finishing 13-

43 in 1994, the Wildcats improved by 16 games to 29-

24 and third in the Big 8 tournament. (Photo by Darren

Poepard was an offensive power, leading the team
with 10 home runs, 23 doubles and 55 PvBI's on the
year. After going 6-for-16 at the Big 8 Tournament,
Poepard also earned all-Big 8 Tournament honors.

Three players made the league's second team —
junior designated hitter Dave Hendrix, senior catcher
Chris Bouchard andjunior pitcher Jon Albrecht. Making
the honorable mention list were senior outfielder Tim
Decker and pitchers Eric
Yanz, sophomore

and
Larry Walty, senior. The
nine total selections to all-
league teams were the
most ever for a K-State
baseball team.

The same team that
struggled for two years
finally got the experience
it needed. But those two
years felt like eternity,
Hendrix said.

"After my freshman
year (1993), I didn't think
things could get any worse,
but they did," he said.

"Everything bad that could have happened that year
(1994) happened to us."

Even though the Cats were futile tor two seasons,
Hendrix said he knew the team would turn it around.

"We knew what we could do last year, so we just
went out and did it," he said. "And doubts we had
going into last year are gone, so that's helped."

performances throughout the year, Clark said the team

as a whole never ceased to amaze him.

"It was just a very rewarding season," Clark said.
"Some of the games we played were so crazy and
exciting, you'd just sit back and enjoy it. It was one of
those deals that even when the game was over, the kids
still believed they could come back and give us one
more inning.

"I mean, we beat Oklahoma twice, a team that
went to the College World Series, and for the first time
in 17 years, we put a loss to Oklahoma State in the first
round of the conference tournament," Clark said.
"There weren't really many disappointments.
Everybody, especially during the last half of the season,
really put their game together and just got better and
better."

Betore losing to Iowa State, the squad was just a
base hit away from competing for the Big 8 Tournament
championship. After the last game had been played, the
team found themselves tied with Nebraska lor lourth-
place in the conference standings with a 13-14 record,
which was quite an improvement from 1994's 3-27
league mark.

"I thought our kids really came a long way, and our
program is really focused in the right direction," Clark
said. "At the end of the season, we were a regional
ballclub, and we're hoping to carry that on. It was fun.
The kids really had fun."

Second baseman Scott Poepard agreed.

"Last year, everything finally came together for
us," Poepard said. "We definitely think we could have
the best team K-State has ever had. I can't see us doing
anything but winning from now on."

VARSITY

:-'

fund raisers offset lack of scholarships morning practices pay off

BY SARAH

WOMEN'S CREW was familiar with rising.
Not only did they rise to varsity status, but also early
every morning for a two-hour practice.

"I get up at 5:30 a.m. and have my clothes on when
I go to bed," Jmny Wilson, junior in pre-medicine,
said.

The crew's hard work and dedication drew the
attention of the administration when the University
began looking for a women's team to make varsity.

"We heard the official announcement from Max
Urick on July 10," Alan Koch, women's crew coach,
said. "It began appearing in the papers on the weekend
of the 12th."

The change, scheduled to take place in September
1996, reflected the 1972
Title IX act requiring
universities to provide
equal opportunities to
women athletes. If more
women's varsity sports
were not made available,
federal funding would be
taken away from K-State.
Exposure from the
elevated status would help
the crew recruit rowers
with experience and also
teach others the sport.

"Rowing is a sport

unlike football, track and

basketball," Koch said.

"Very few have competed

in high school. So, there

has to be a training ground

somewhere."

Once crew became a varsity sport, scholarships

would be offered to team members, allowing the

women to focus completely on rowing.

"The change would help the varsity women's
team a lot," Koch said. "Now coming up with dues
often means a part-time job."

Until then, finding money to pay for rowing
expenses was a problem for some crew members.

"I don't have a job. My parents pay for everything
I need, but we do have fund raisers for people who
don't have the money," Wilson said. "They really do

try to help out if money is a problem."

The team had several fund raisers, including the
Rent-a-Rower and the Ergathon.

The crew looked to the community to raise funds
with the Rent-a-Rower fund raiser.

"We put an ad in the local paper and it people had
odd jobs they could get rowers to come out and help,"
Wilson said.

Physical endurance helped the team raise money
with the Ergathon. Team members collected pledges
for every mile they rowed on the Erg rowing machine.

The money helped offset expenses for the year.
Entry fees to the regattas, travel costs, $80 dues and
other expenses were the responsibility of the members.

Expenses added up as the crew competed year
around in tour different seasons, Koch said.

The fall season featured long endurance races
against the clock on rivers and lakes. In the winter, the
crew competed in 2,000- and 2,500-meter Erg
challenges. The spring competitions were side-by-side
lane races and the summer races were singles or pairs in
smaller boats.

"The spring is my favorite, right after the winter
competitions because we are in better shape and it is a
more competitive season," Kim Desch, sophomore in
pre-nursing, said.

Crew members trained specifically tor their
competition level.

"Different ones specialize in certain events," Koch
said. "Some members are more recreational than others.
They are in it more for the fun of rowing."

Nine varsity women traveled with the men's crew
team to regional competitions, and the two teams
worked together during practices and on the road.

"Varsity men's and women's teams practice together
at six in the morning. We're out there from six to eight.
If there is not enough women in a boat we will row with
the men," Wilson said. "We work closely together. If the
women need something the men are there and vice-
versa."

Koch said the crew had potential and with the
coming varsity status, the community should provide
the support necessary for the team to succeed.

"As rowing gets more publicity, more people get
involved and hopefully more people will go out to the
lake," he said.

WATER

INTRAMURALS

inner tube water polo — not the average sport learning the rules

BY LYNN

GOING BEYOND the basics, athletes
competed in the newest intramural sport at K-State,
inner tube water polo.

"We saw it in the
intramural booklet and
thought it sounded like
fun, so we thought we'd
give it a try," said Dan
Bates, Major Infractions
team member andjunior
in animal sciences and
industry.

"We've never done
anything like it before

— just played the regu-
lar sports like football,
basketball and softball

— so we thought we'd
go out ol the ordinary
and try something new
and different," he said.

Inner tube water
polo, a co-recreational
intramural sport, was at-
tractive because it
looked like fun and was
different than other
sports.

Scoring the most
goals within the 24 min-
utes of play was the ob-
ject of the game. Seven
team members,
equipped with inner
tubes and numbered
caps, maneuvered the
ball from one end of the
pool to the other, passing it from teammate to
teammate. Goals were scored when a thrown ball
crossed the front plane of a net goal located along

the outer edge of the pool.

Maneuvering the ball was not difficult, but
trying to remember the rules was hard.

"One thing that is hard to remember is that
guys can only throw to girls," Bates said. "When
you have a guy that's open, it's hard to resist
throwing it to them."

Male-to-male passes were considered minor
infractions resulting in the other team receiving an
indirect throw.

"Minor infractions occur when a player
splashes someone who doesn't have the ball, holds
the ball for more than 15 seconds, or makes a guy-
to-guy pass," said Ron Dubbert, recreational ser-
vices intramural supervisor and senior in
agribusiness.

"They result in the other team getting an
indirect throw, where a member puts the ball in
play and can't be touched and the pass can't be
interfered with," he said.

Major infractions resulted in direct throws,
which means a throw can be taken by the player
fouled with the opportunity of directly scoring a
goal. Major infractions occurred when a person
was caught holding, pushing, hitting, jumping on
or dunking an opponent.

"Most of the teams don't know the rules, so it's
our job to teach them within the first couple of
games," Dubbert said. "Hopefully by the end of
the tournament, the teams know and understand
the rules."

Sixteen teams participated in the double-elimi-
nation tournament, played Sunday and Wednesday
nights at the Natatoriuni.

"It's an awesome sport," said Paul Hoeller,
Aiche team member and senior in chemical engi-
neering. "The nice thing about this sport is that it
doesn't matter if you're Michael Jordan or Bo
Jackson, everybody is at the same level. It all
depends on how crazy you are."

The teams competed in the final Big 8 Champion-
ships Oct. 27 at Rim Rock Farm in Lawrence.

Coach Terry Drake said he was impressed by the
improvement of the
men's team, which
placed fourth after last
year's seventh-place
mark.

"I'm happy for the
men," Drake said. "They
stayed focused and deter-
mined throughout the
entire race. To finish
fourth in one of the best
cross-country confer-
ences in the country isn't
bad at all."

Junior Ryan Clive-

13th-place finish and a

time of 24:47. Junior

John Thorpe placed 20th with a time of 25:27, junior

David Dominguez came in 22nd and sophomore Paul

Birnbaum finished 32nd.

Thorpe said the Big 8 meet was beneficial for the
team.

"We, as a team, really came together at the Big 8
meet," Thorpe said. "It was a lot better showing than
last year."

We took a lot of positive

steps to making a good team

and everyone wanted to be

a part of the team effort.
RYAN CLIVE-SMITH

Drake said he was pleased with Clive-Smith's
strong performance in the meet.

"Ryan Clive-Smith really stayed in there and
competed," he said. "He fell back some and then did
what it took to get caught back up.

"There are very few runners that compare to
him," Drake said. "What he doesn't have in physical
gifts, he makes up for mentally."

Clive-Smith attributed his success to a different
training program.

"It was different this year as far as training goes, " he
said. "It was probably better this season. I didn't train
as hard over the summer as I did last year. I waited until
I got back here and started training with attention on
being able to last the entire season and being able to be
at my peak at the end of the season."

Clive-Smith said he found teamwork to be a
stronger asset than in previous seasons.

"We took a lot of positive steps to making a good
team and everyone wanted to be a part of the team
effort," he said. "We just had a team spirit that made
it easy for us to work together, which was evident
when the training and the team came together for the
Big 8 meet. We all were able to do better."

That team overcame the nationally-ranked
Jayhawks at Kansas' meet to open the season.

"At that point in time, both their men and women
were nationally ranked and to beat them on their
home course was a big deal," Drake said.

"Also, at the same time there was a high school
meet going on, so from the recruiting standpoint it was
good."

Thorpe, who placed first at KU, also became an
asset to the team as the No. 2 runner.

"He won the KU meet and for the rest of the year
he was a solid No. 2 guy," Drake said. "I was hoping
for a little more from him, but one of the areas that has
been down in the past was having a solid No. 2
runner."

While the Big 8 Championships were a high point
for the men, their performance at District V Champi-
onships did not equal that of the women's team.

The women's team finished a disappointing fifth in
the Big 8 meet but senior Irma Betancourt finished in
eighth place with a time of 18:20.

"Irma had one of the best races of her career,"
Drake said. "She did a great job of going out and
staying with the leaders, which is what we need her to
do."

Betancourt, the team's front runner, agreed the
Big 8 meet was one of her best races.

"My best performance was in the Big 8," she said.
"Even though my time wasn't too good and it wasn't
a PR (personal record), I think I ran more aggressive
than at the other races."

Junior Samantha McNamara placed 23rd, fol-
lowed by sophomore Charity Swartz, 24th, and fresh-
man Cristy Swartz, 30th.

In spite of the downfall during the Big 8 meet, the
women improved to finish fourth m the District V
Championships Nov. 11.

Districts proved to be the best meet of the season
for the women.

"It was emotionally up and down," Drake said.
"The girls really stepped up. I couldn't have asked for
more from them."

Betancourt was the only team member to qualify
for the NCAA Cross Country Championships, plac-
ing eighth at Districts and 1 12th at the NCAA Cham-
pionships in Ames, Iowa, Nov. 12.

Competing at nationals was difficult and disap-
pointing for Betancourt.

"I thought I was going to do real well," she said.
"Maybe I was a little bit insecure when I was at the
competition. Maybe I wasn't really in the race.

"I focused too much on the pain because it was
really cold. I didn't think too much about the
race," Betancourt said. "I just wanted to get done
with it."

Drake said he was impressed with her progress.

"Her progress over the past four years has been
unbelievable," he said.

"This year, she had a solid year. She came with a
set plan and was thinking 'I'm going to qualify for
nationals.'

IN ORDER to compete athletically and

American colleges offered opportunities foreign to

"I thought it was a great opportunity to come to the

sophomore in public health/nutrition, said. "Back home,

"It is a bit of a reward to come here
and be able to compete and learn at the
same time," Watson, freshman in
kinesiology, said. "My friends couldn't
believe it. It was kind of like a dream to
come to America, especially for four
years to study and play."

For Watson and Nicholson,
Manhattan was their first taste of America.
However, Esa Sallinen, Finnish pole
vaulter and freshman in environmental
design, had already been to the United
States as a foreign exchange student in
California.

"I went home for a year and got a

call from the coach wanting to know if I

would join the track team," he said. "I

had heard about the architecture

department here and that it was really good. I 'was

looking for a scholarship and K-State was the only one

that offered me a full ride, so I came here."

Another track team member, Ryan Clive-Smith,
senior in marketing, said he came to the University
partially because of the coaches.

"The coach at the time made it sound so good
here," Clive-Smith said. "He painted a pretty good
picture of what was happening here and from the
schools that I could choose from, I chose this."

Clive-Smith, a South Africa native, ran both cross
country and track.

"It was fortunate that when I came here, it was as

good as he had said," Clive-Smith said. "When you
come from that far away, you look for ways to eliminate
schools and you look at the opportunities that they can
give you."

International athletes adjusted to being far from
home.

"Everything is different here, "Watson said. "Here
we have a weight room, set practice times and the
clothes are provided for you. It is so different than
playing on your own."

Differences were not limited to culture and climate,
Watson said.

"The attitude toward the sport is different —
you're respected here," she said. "You can enjoy the
sport, something that you can't do as much in England
because of how professional the competition is there."

For many international athletes, the reason to come
to the U.S. was simpler. In their home countries,
athletics were set apart from academics, which made
athletes decide which was more important, Sallinen said.

"It's much easier here because it's all at once," he
said. "You can't finance sports and school at the same
time, so you have to work and that takes away from
studying and practicing."

American schools gave athletes more opportunities
than their native countries, Clive-Smith said.

"There are many more options here," he said. "I
prefer it this way because I get the opportunity to go to
school and compete for the school. Obviously, I get an
education and a lot more recognition. This type ol stutl
would never really happen at home."

For the most part, differences in team structures
and coaching methods worked in the athletes' favor.

"Now I always have someone to practice with and
workout with which makes it all the more fun,"
Sallinen said. "In Finland, it's just you and the coach.
Track is a team sport here and you go against other
schools, but in Finland you're always an individual."

He said he liked the team aspect of American
sports.

"I think teamwork is much better here," Sallinen
said. "You're not only responsible for yourself. If you
do badly in the meet there, it only affects you; but here
it affects the team and that makes you work so much
harder. You're part of a team, so you have to try to do
your best all of the time."

If volleyball player Yolanda Young
could have had her way coming out
of high school, she would have
played volleyball for the No. 1 -ranked
Nebraska Cornhuskers.

"I was big-red bred," Young said.
"I was a Husker fan ever since I was a
little kid. Everyone is crazy for Nebraska.
Then there was the fact that I lived in
Omaha. Everybody there wanted to go
to Nebraska, and that included me."

Young didn't end up at Nebraska as
she had hoped, even though the Huskers
initially recruited her. Instead, she took
a scholarship to play for the Big 8
Conference's worst volleyball program
at the time — K-State.

"It kind of happened over a period
of time," Young said. "Actually,
Nebraska kind of pushed me off."

Nebraska's loss was the Wildcats'
gain. Young stepped in immediately and
became the Wildcats' top offensive
weapon during her freshman year. She
led the team with 979 attacks and 315
kills, with double-digit kills in at least 14
matches.

"It was a big adjustment," Young
said. "It was a big shock. College
volleyball is just another step or two
better than club and high school. I figured
I would redshirt, but I got the opportunity
to play."

Former volleyball coach Patti
Hagemeyer said Young was the Big 8's
most explosive offensive weapon even
when she was a freshman.

"She can really put it away,"
Hagemeyer said two years ago. "I can't
wait to see how she is when she is a senior.
Everybody will be talking about how
great of an offensive player Yolanda is."

Young topped her freshman season
by earning second team all-Big 8 honors
last year. Starting all 97 games, she led

by Jeremy era btree

the team with 920 attacks and 381 kills.
The Wildcats had their first winning
season in three years.

When Jim Moore took over as
coach before Young's sophomore year,
the Wildcats were learning a completely
new offense.

"She was really our only offensive
weapon last season, " he said. "Whenever
we needed a big play, we turned to her.
She came through remarkably
throughout the season. Our offense is
set up so that anybody can be an attacker,
but last year Yolanda was it."

Young said it was hard adjusting to
the new offense, but over time she
learned to use it to her advantage. At the
beginning of her junior year, she was
already seventh on the Wildcats' all-
time kill charts.

"I was having a hard time picking
up the entire offense," she said. "I wasn't
the only one though," Young said. "The
offense has a lot to do with timing. It was
hard for all of us to adjust and open up
and release.

"Now that we're in the second year
with the offense and with Coach Moore,
we're starting to really get things
together."

Even as Young filled the record
books, she wondered about what could
have been at Nebraska. But she said she
had no regrets about choosing K-State.

"I could have walked-on and been
playing on the No. 1 team right now,"
Young said. "I'm glad things happened
hke they did. I like it here at Kansas
State. Before I leave I want this team to
go to the NCAA Tournament. That
will happen next year.

"A bigger goal for me is to have this
team get to the Sweet 16," Young said.
"That will show Nebraska what they
missed."

That's what the volleyball team took this season,
finishing with 21-12 record and advancing to
postseason play for the first time since 1979.

The Wildcats' postseason trip was to the National
Invitational Volleyball Championships in Kansas City's
Municipal Auditorium. K-State went 2-2 in pool play,
with victories against Drake and Rice.

K-State had a chance to advance to the semi-finals
of the tournament, but it lost 3-2 to Rhode Island.

"The results aren't what we wanted, but we learned
a lot," said Jim Moore, volleyball coach. "We made a
lot of progress this season, and we did a lot of good
things."

Yolanda Young, K-State's top offensive weapon,
said the Cats will be even better next season after this
year's postseason experience.

"I see no reason why we can't make it the NCAA
Tournament next season," Young said.

"We'll be there. We've taken some big steps with
Coach Moore, and we will only continue to go forward
from here."

Still, the loss in the postseason didn't put a negative
spin on the Wildcats' season, as the Wildcats accom-
plished a lot in Moore's second season as coach.

The transformation from perennial cellar-dweller
to conference contender was complete. Before Moore
arrived, the Cats hadn't had a winning season in three
years, but this season's 21-12 record marked K-State's
second straight winning season.

Post-season play wasn't the only honor established
by the volleyball team. Earlier in the season, middle

blocker Kate DeClerk was named the AVCA National
Division I player of the week.

DeClerk was rewarded for her performance in the
KSU Invitational, where she registered 47 kills, 37 digs,
23 total blocks and four service aces.

"Really, it was a team honor," DeClerk said. "I
couldn't have done it without Devon Ryning setting
me up all the time. I still
can't believe I was se-
lected."

After capturing the
KSU Invitational, the
Cats continued to roll in
the early part of the sea-
son. In fact, at one point
K-State had a 12-2
record. The Cats peaked
when they defeated na-
tionally-ranked Colo-
rado 3-1 Sept. 30 in
Ahearn Fieldhouse.

Later that week, the
Cats were rewarded for
their play by receiving
votes for the top 25 poll for the first time in school
history.

"That was a really, really big win for us," Moore
said. "It proved that we could play with anybody in the
Big 8. The key for us was to continue to play like that
every match. We didn't do that all season, but against
Colorado we put it all together."

DeClerk said she expects more wins over nation-
ally-ranked opponents and additional national recogni-
tion as long as Moore is at K-State.

"I heard that we had gotten some votes for the top
25," DeClerk said. "That just proves that someone else
is paying attention to what is happening here. Coach -
Moore believes in us, and we believe in him. We're
now ready to contend with anybody."

The Wildcats did have a chance to qualify to play
in the Big Eight Tournament, but they lost to Colorado
in the last match of the season. The loss left K-State with
a 5-7 record in Big 8 play, good lor a fifth-place finish.

"We knew that we could have beaten them,"
Young said. "We needed that win, but we just didn't
play well. It kind of puts a dissappointing end on the Big
Eight season."

Moore said since K-State was unable to qualify for
the Big Eight and NCAA Tournaments there still is
room for improvement.

"We feel short of what we wanted," Moore said.
"Before the season, I thought we had a chance to go to
the Big 8 Tournament, and I know the players wanted
to be in the NCAA Tournament.

"We're close to where we need to be to become a
good program. I hope we're built for the future."

The Cats responded by recording their first 10- win
season in 86 years, finishing sixth in the USA Today/
CNN Coaches Poll and seventh in the Associated Press
Poll — the highest marks in school history — and
dominating one of the top bowl games in college
football.

"It's a great feeling," Coach Bill Snyder said of the
1995 season, "something they (the seniors) can
remember for the rest of their lives and talk to their
grandchildren about."

The Cats' storybook season started with skepticism
of senior quarterback Matt Miller. After transferring
from Texas A&M and sitting out a year at K-State, he
had just a few months to convince fans that May was
replaceable.

Miller dispelled preliminary jitters five games into
the season, leading the Cats to a 5-0 start as they won
three straight games — Akron, Northern Illinois and
Missouri — by a combined score of 141-0.

The 44-0 win against Northern Illinois served as
another benchmark of success in the Snyder era, as he
surpassed Mike Ahearn as the winningest coach in
school history.

After squeaking past Oklahoma State 23-17, the
No. 8 Cats thought they were prepared for a showdown
with No. 2 Nebraska. Similar to the year before, both
teams were undefeated and the game was broadcast by
ABC. Another shot at the Cornhuskers. Another

chance to prove this year was different. Another blowout
— Nebraska 49, K-State 25.

"I thought we were past the point where anyone
could beat us like this,"
junior wide receiver
Kevin Lockett said.

At the time, the loss
seemed devastating to the
Cats, and Kansas, the next
opponent, had just
humiliated Oklahoma in
Norman and would come
to Manhattan undefeated
and armed with a No. 6
ranking.

For Miller, who took
nothing away from the
Nebraska game except "a
dizzy head, a sick feeling
and a bunch of bumps
and bruises," redemption
rested with beating the
J ay hawks.

"If we beat them, all
these feelings will go
away," he said.

The Cat offense,
which was blamed for the loss in Lincoln, played with
a passion that resulted in a 41-7 victory for K-State —
its largest victory over Kansas in 40 years — in front of
a KSU Stadium-record 44,284 fans.

nose tackle, said. "I can't believe this happened."

For the first time in 16 years, K-State had two
backs, sophomores Eric Hickson and Mike Lawrence,
rush for more than 100 yards. The Cats' defense
grounded the Jayhawks' running game, allowing just
19 yards.

"I didn't think anyone could shut our offense down
like they did," KU coach Glen Mason said.

K-State carried that emotion through the next two
games, trouncing No. 25 Oklahoma 49-10 and Iowa
State 49-7.

It was the third-straight win against the Sooners,
sending a resounding signal that the Cats would remain
among the league's elite. Oklahoma hadn't suffered
such an overwhelming loss in 50 years, and it was K-
State's biggest victory ever against the Sooners.

"This is the worst physical beating I've ever been
associated with," OU coach Howard Schnellenberger
said. "I know it could have been worse."

Miller set a conference record in the game at Ames,
throwing two touchdown passes and bringing his
season total to 22, surpassing Nebraska's Vince
Ferragamo's previous mark of 20.

"Right now the record doesn't mean as much as it
will, " Miller said. "But I know someday I'll be bragging
to my grandchildren about it."

The Cats arrived at their final game of the season
against No. 9 Colorado. The winner would play on
New Year's Day in the Cotton Bowl.

Falling 144 seconds shy of reserving a spot in
Dallas, the Cats led 17-13 when Colorado's John
Hessler orchestrated an 80-yard drive, yielding the
go-ahead score with a little more than a minute to
play. The Buffaloes got another touchdown with 45
seconds left after recovering a K-State fumble in the
end zone.

"It hurts," Miller said. "It hurts bad and it will hurt
for a long time."

But the Cats would have another day — Dec. 29 at
the Holiday Bowl in San Diego. They would complete
the most successful season in school history with a 52-
21 victory over the Colorado State Rams.

"After being predisposed to the era of futility, I
never expected anything like this," senior tight end
Brian Lojka said. "(The program) has risen to a level of
optimism to where we can do things that were totally
inconceivable years ago."

hile Ram fans were few and far between
in San Diego the week of the Holiday Bowl,
Wildcat fans turned the west coast into a sea
of purple.

"I was happy to see so much purple
there," Jerrod Westfahl, junor in agricultural
economics, said.

"1 think the people down at the Cotton
Bowl had some second thoughts after
seeing the game."

Cotton Bowl officials

chose Colorado over K-

State and had to watch a

sparse crowd at the New

Year's Day game.

Heather Lee, senior in
management, attended the
Cats' past three bowl games
but said the fans' spirit and
support at the Holiday Bowl
was incomparable to that of
past years.

"We heard one person
say 'I hope the last person
from Kansas turned out the
ights,'" Lee said.
— ^ "I actually think it was a

Colorado State fan."
The pep rally Dec. 28 at the San Diego
Civic Center turned out to be the Cats'
largest bowl pep rally in history. The K-State
Marching Band and Mitch Holthus began
entertaining the crowd but once the players
arrived, the spotlight turned.

"We walked in and saw about the same
size crowd we had at the Copper Bowl pep
rally," senior wide receiver Mitch Running

said. "Then we got to the stage and turned
around and saw the purple in the deck. It was
unbelieveable.

"Our fans were going nuts. It was
something to see."

That enthusiasm carried over into the
game where as many as 12,000 purple-clad
fans packed the south side of Jack Murphy
Stadium, roaring with delight when the Cats
took the field.

"We were awestruck at all the purple in
the stadium," John Reid, executive director
of the Hobday Bowl, said.

"The newspaper out here said there were
at least 12,000 K-Staters at the game and
there's no way to know exactly, but I can't
dispute that figure."

Those fans got what they expected from
start to finish. Sophomore running back Eric
Hickson returned the opening kick-off for
34 yards, then broke a 1 9-yard run on the first
play from scrimmage.

Seven plays later, Hickson earned the
ball into the end zone for the first score of the
game.

But matters would get more serious. The
Rams would also score on their first
possession, tying the game 7-7 going into the
second quarter.

Then every Wildcat fan's heart stopped
when Colorado State linebacker Nate
Kvamme slammed head-first into senior
quarterback Matt Miller on a third-and-long
play.

The game was stopped and the stadium

fell silent while team doctors huddled around

INTERIM BASKETBALL COACH

said.

Statistically, it was a down year
for the Wildcats. Coach Brian Agler
had rescued a dying program in
1993, posting a 27-27 record in his
first two years, including a 14-13
mark in 1995 — K-State's first win-
ning record since 1991.

The Cats finished the 1995-96
season 5-9 in Big 8 play and 14-16
overall. That was before the team
was forced to forfeit three confer-
ence and eight nonconference wins,
knocking them down to the No. 8
seed in the Big 8 Tournament.

The forfeits resulted from the
NCAA's Feb. 9 suspension of five players, who
had their eligibility restored before they missed a
game. Agler and senior point guard Carlene
Mitchell were also suspended and Jack Hartman,
K-State's winningest men's basketball coach and a

notorious opponent of women's basketball in the
1970s, was appointed as interim coach.

"This was not how it was supposed to end,"
Hartman said after the team's final loss. "These
girls tried their hardest. It wasn't supposed to be
like this."

The season started on a high note when the
Cats won the Wildcat Classic Nov. 25-26 with
wins over Bradley and Lamar. Junior post Andria
Jones' 29-point performance in the champion-
ship gave the team the post presence it needed
alter the graduation ot all-conference star
Shanele Stires.

"Andria's really coming on. She's starting to
come into our system and understand how she
can score in a lot of different ways," Agler said.
"And she's earned it. She has worked really
hard."

Wins over Wichita State and Grambling State
gave the team a 4-0 start before Memphis defeated
the Cats. Ohio then dealt the team its second
straight setback in a 69-68 loss Dec. 10.

However, the game provided the first look at
one of K-State's future stars as freshman postjenny
Coalson scored 12 points in her first start as a
Wildcat.

"I'm still a little nervous, but with each day I'm
becoming more confident," she said. "Going into
practice everyday, I was just working as hard as I
could. So when I got to start, it was just more
incentive to work even harder."

The Cats recovered from the
Ohio loss by beating Michigan, but
trouble was once again on the hori-
zon.

The team dropped consecutive
games to Southwest Missouri State,
Northwestern and George Wash-
ington in the San Juan Shootout in
Puerto Rico Dec. 16-19. All three
opposing teams were receiving votes
in the Associated Press and USA
Today/CNN Coaches' polls, and
Northwestern had just cracked the
AP Poll at No. 25.

"When you play against good
competition, you find out what your
weaknesses are because they get ex-
ploited and you also find out what
your strengths are," Agler said.

"And this is great for our ladies.
You get to see a different part of the
world, and they get some time to-
gether away from campus, which
really helps them out personally," he
said.

Junior wing Kjersten Larson said
travel helped bring the team closer
together.

"I think we learn a little bit about
each other," she said. "It almost
seems like the further we go the
closer we get."

The Cats righted themselves
with a three-game nonconference
winning streak when they returned
home, taking an 8-5 record into Big
8 play. A win over Missouri in the
conference home opener rekindled
hopes of a winning season.

"(Jones) really did an awesome
job on Erika Martin, with the team
doubling down and helping her,"
sophomore wing Brit Jacobson, the
team's leading scorer, said.

Martin, the leading scorer for
Missouri and the Big 8, was held to
four points in the first half.

The Cats' luck ended there.
They would fall to Colorado, Iowa
State and Nebraska before a two-win
homestand against No. 17 Okla-
homa State and Oklahoma, who
gave them their last even conference
record of the season, 3-3.

After a nonconference loss to
Arkansas State, the Cats fell at home
to Kansas and at Missouri and Colo-
rado, dropping their record to 11-12
overall and 3-6 in the Big 8.

That's when Agler and six players
were found in violation of NCAA
rules. Agler had paid five players for
working at his summer camp, which
violated NCAA regulations. The
players' eligibility was immediately
restored and Agler accepted an ad-
ministrative position in the Office of
Institutional Advancement.

With Hartman at the helm, the
Cats beat Nebraska Feb. 9 before
dropping to Iowa State on the road
Feb. 18 and a 78-42 thrashing of
Hampton again fueled thoughts of a
salvageable season.

However, a 66-56 loss to the
Jayhawks in Lawrence Feb. 25 and
news of the forfeits, which dropped
the Cats from a tie for sixth in the
conference to No. 8, ended the
regular season on a down note.

With a 13-15 record, the Cats
went to the final Big 8 Tournament
March 2 in Salina to face Kansas for
the second time in less than a week.
They came up short again with a 70-
64 loss to end the season.

"I am really proud of my team,"
Hartman said. "We played ex-
tremely hard. We didn't play as well
as we have played, we didn't play
nearly as well as we're capable of
playing, and we didn't play quite as
well as we wanted to, but we played
very hard and got back in the game
on a couple of occasions."

MITCH

SENIOR
SOCIAL SCIENCE

BY DAN

The Holiday Bowl The National Invitational
Volleyball Championship. The Big 8 Tournament.

Whether in the familiar confines of Manhattan or
on the sunny shores in San Diego, Wildcat athletes
learned to live in the spotlight.

For many who were stars in high school, such
attention seemed normal.

Others rose to stardom from relative
obscurity. Varsity squads owed much of
their success to the hard work and
diligence of walk-on athletes.

"I hoped I could eventually get a
scholarship, because I probably couldn't
afford to stay otherwise," said Mitch
Running, a wide receiver who walked
on the football team in 1991. "A lot of
people back home thought I was kind of
stupid. They thought I was a Division
Ill-caliber player."

Running proved them wrong. A
year of playing on the practice squad paid
off when Coach Bill Snyder announced
Running would receive a scholarship.

"It was really exciting," Running,
senior in social science, said. "He hadn't
even told me yet, but he said it in the
newspaper after spring practice. I was just
elated."

By the time he was a senior, Running

was a nationally recognized figure. He

started every game his senior year,

catching 51 passes for 756 yards in the

regular season.

Running also excelled on special teams, serving as

the Cats' punt-return specialist, and in a rare trick play,

he received a pass from, then completed a pass to, senior

quarterback Matt Miller.

"I've had the opportunity to do a lot of things at K-
State that no one thought I'd do," Running said. "It's
really been the experience of a lifetime."

For others, the road to success seemed much
longer. Todd Hlasney, wide receiver and senior in
kinesiology, was given an opportunity to play football
in college.

"I was recruited by a lot of the junior colleges in the
area and by Emporia State," Hlasney said.

Instead, he chose to come to K-State and not play.
Hlasney said he had a hard time watching games
because he wanted to be on the field.

"I missed the opportunity to play and thought I had
the ability to be out there," he said.

Hlasney walked on as a sophomore and played
four years for the Cats without receiving a scholarship,
but he said the experience was still worth the effort.

Hlasney caught two passes as a senior, including an
eight-yard reception against Northern Illinois, the
longest of his career.

"It's pretty fulfilling," Hlasney said. "Just getting
the chance to be part of the team — the chance to do
what everyone said I couldn't do — made the sacrifice
worthwhile.

"I wish I could have gotten to play more, but when
you play behind guys line Mitch, Tyson (Schwieger)
and Kevin (Lockett) , you're grateful for the opportunities
you get."

Sara Munson, freshman in civil engineering, also
waited before joining the Cat basketball team, but not
long. Although she was offered a scholarship by Wichita
State, Washburn, K-State and other Big 8 schools,
Munson originally decided not to play basketball in
college.

"I always said if I played ball in college, I would play
for K-State," Munson said.

"But I was really concerned about the transition
between high school and college, and I knew academics
had to be a priority."

By November, Munson was practicing with the
team, and when the Cats played their first exhibition
game Nov. 8, Munson scored four points.

"I just love basketball," she said. "I found I had time
to get the things done that I needed, and I decided to
try playing basketball again."

Munson became a regular contributor off the
bench, serving mainly as a defensive specialist.

What Munson's career held was still uncertain, but
Running's days in a Cat uniform produced memories
that would last forever.

"I look back at some of the games, and it's pretty
special what we've been able to do," he said.

"I've always said I've had a storybook career. And
to score a touchdown on my last catch — it's just
unbelievable."

Opening the season Nov. 25 with a 75-72
overtime win against Bradley, the Wildcats went on
to start the season with a 3-0 record beating Emporia
State and Marshall.

But when the Cats went on the road, trouble hit
as they lost at Illinois and Washington.

However, during semester break, the team went
9-2, losing only to Michigan State and Oklahoma.

In front of an ESPN audience Jan. 6, the Cats
clobbered the Iowa State Cyclones 72-55 in Man-
hattan to open the Big 8 Conference season.

But the Cats dropped a hard-fought battle with
Oklahoma 64-59 Jan. 9, despite holding all-confer-
ence performer Ryan Minor to just 11 points.

"They just played harder than we did. They
wanted it," senior forward Tyrone Davis said of the
Sooners. "We just need to hit our shots."

Coach Tom Asbury said the Cats' failure came in
the second half.

"In the first half, we played as well as we've
played all year," he said. "In any Big 8 Conference
game, we should come out to play, and we did."

After winter break, game attendance picked up,
but the Cats' record did not. They won only four of
their last 10 games in conference play. Even playing
at home was not a sure bet for the Cats.

They lost a disappointing home game Feb. 7 to

Elliot Hatcher made two free throws to take the lead
53-52 with only 1:26 left to play in regulation, but a
missed jump shot by sophomore guard Aaron
Swartzendruber put the game into overtime.
"We were just run-

and thought I had a
pretty good look, so I
took it," Swartzen-

Overtime was just as
close as regulation play.
The Cats opened with a
four-point lead, but the
Buffaloes came back to
tie the game 63-63 with
only 34 seconds remain-
ing. Colorado made one late free throw
to hand the Cats a loss.

With no time to dwell on the defeat, the team
traveled to Stillwater, Okla., to take on the Okla-
homa State Cowboys. The Cats had beat the Pokes

their second-consecutive loss, the Cats wanted to

But the Pokes had other plans.

The Cats trailed by as many as 25 in the second
half before OSU pulled out a 83-60 victory. The
only bright spot for the Cats was senior guard Brian
Gavin's season-high 12 points.

It was the third game the Cats had played in less
than a week, but Asbury said he tried not to let that
be an excuse.

"I don't know (if we looked tired). We had
nothing to be tired about," Asbury said. "We cer-
tainly looked tired in terms of our performance, but
I'm not certain that we were tired."

With 1 1 days off until their next game, the Cats
rested up and came out ready to play against Missouri
Feb. 21.

With a 69-64 victory over the Tigers, the Cats
snapped a six-game losing streak to Missouri.
Swartzendruber scored a career-high 24 points off
the bench and his 14 first-half points helped the Cats
to a 39-36 halftime lead.

Asbury said the Cats' defense was the key to the
win.

"I thought we tightened up our deiense. We ran
them down to the end of the shot clock," he said. "I
thought we started to do a better job on (Julian)
Winfield. He was really hurting us in that stretch
prior to that."

Next up for the Cats was a meeting of intrastate
rivals. Despite coming off the victory over the Tigers,
the Cats couldn't pull it together to beat the No. 5
Kansas Jayhawks. With six minutes left in the game,
the Cats pulled within three points after a basket by
freshman Ayome May, who scored a career-high 20
points in the game. The effort was not enough as the
Jayhawks won the game, 66-77.

With only two games left in regular-season play
the focus turned to post-season play.

The Cats traveled to Ames, Iowa, Feb. 28 where

they had not won since 1990. Freshman forward
Shawn Rhodes tied the game 78-78 with 1:40
remaining and Davis made two free throws to put K-
State up by two. But the Cyclones answered, and the
Cats couldn't get a last-second shot to drop, sending
the game to overtime.

The Cats controlled overtime and won 92-87.
The game's heroes were Swartzendruber and
Hatcher, who each had 22 points, and Rhodes, who
finished with 18.

"I think our whole team wanted this,"
Swartzendruber said. "We have that feeling (that we
could go to the NCAA Tournament). It would be
nice to get a win at Nebraska."

Trying to keep the magic going, the Cats trav-
eled to Lincoln, Neb., to take on the Cornhuskers,
but Nebraska broke its eight-game losing streak in a
70-66 win over the Cats. Hopes for an NCAA
Tournament bid rested on the Cats' approaching
performance in the Big 8 Tournament, as they
finished the regular season 16-10, 7-7 in conference
play and tied for fourth with Oklahoma State.

"Some of the guys who normally shoot good,
including me, just weren't," Rhodes said. "It was just
one of those nights, I guess."

The season did not end there for the Cats. The
Big 8 Tournament gave K-State renewed hope as
Davis sank a pair of free throws with 9.6 seconds left
to lift the Cats past Oklahoma State, 58-55, in the
quarterfinals of the Big 8 tournament March 8 before
failing to Kansas, 61-55, the next day in the semifi-
nals.

The Cats' performance was good enough to earn
them a birth in the NCAA Tournament, the first
such trip since 1993. A No. 10 seed, K-State would
face New Mexico in the first round.

"I'm just glad we're in," Asbury said. "They're
certainly a quality opponent and a well-coached
program."

The Cats made it to the NCAA tournament'

The fall travel paid off for the team and individual
members.

Senior Karina Kuregian garnered K-State's first
All-Big 8 selection in two
years by going 28-6 in
singles and 1 9-2 in doubles
during the spring.

At the Big 8 post-
season tournament April
21-23, Kuregian, and
senior partner Martine
Shrubsole won the
doubles title, and Kuregian
finished second in the
singles division.

In the fall, there was
no team play with all of
the action being played
on an individual and
doubles-team basis. After hosting their own tournament
to start the season, the Wildcats traveled to Baltimore,
Salt Lake City, Topeka and Pacific Palisades, Calif.

From the start, Kuregian, who Coach Steve Bietau
called the best player on the team — maybe in the
conference — struggled and often had to fight her way
through the consolation bracket.

In the season opener, the Travelers Express
Invitational in Manhattan Sept. 22-23, Kuregian won

better. But to beat the No. 5

her first match, but then lost to eventual champion
Mary Beth Maggert ot Purdue in the second round.

"I thought Karina played recklessly," Bietau said.
"She wasn't playing with any regard for what she was
doing out there."

Kuregian lost in the first round ol the National Clay
Court Championship in Baltimore Sept. 28-Oct. 1 and
didn't enter the Big 8 Coaches Indoors in Topeka Oct.
6-8.

But at the Rivera Ail-American Championship in
Pacific Palisades, Calif, Oct. 19-22, Kuregian opened
the tournament by upsetting No. 5 Margie Lepsi of
Tennessee in two sets.

It was the highest-ranked player Kuregian, who
was ranked No. 14 at the time, had ever defeated.

"This is a great win," Bietau said. "This is Karina's
best win, and I think she could have played better. But
to beat the No. 5-ranked player in the nation is
significant.

"She's had a difficult time this fall, and she's
struggled to find confidence. This will certainly go a
long way in helping that, and it's a good step to take
prior to regionals."

At the Rolex Regional Championship in Salt Lake
City Nov. 8-11, Kuregian recorded two wins in the
consolation round.

While Kuregian was getting most of the attention,
sophomores Yana Dorodnova and Lena Piliptchak
created their own highlights.

In the fall season, Dorodnova, who came to K-
State last season from Moscow, Russia, shocked the
conference by advancing to the finals of the Big 8

Indoor Championships in Topeka Oct. 6-8, before

losing to Kansas' Christie Sim.

"Dorodnova had a great tournament," Bietau said.
"Probably the best thing was the way she fought. The
overall impression that everyone had was that this was
a very strong tournament, and making the finals is a
pretty good accomplishment."

Dorodnova was the only consistent singles player
to finish with a winning record at 8-5. Kuregian was 5-
8, junior Karen Nicholson 4-4, sophomore Dinah
Watson 6-6 and junior Nicole Lagerstrom 4-5.

Freshman Yasmine Osborne played just seven
singles matches in the fall, but her come-from-behind
victory over Purdue's Dena Degyansky in the Traveler's
Express Invitational provided an early glimpse ot what
the Cats were capable of doing. After splitting the first
two sets, Osborne fell behind 5-2 in the third before
rallying to win 7-5.

"I started paying attention to what I was doing out
there and I kept batting balls into play," Osborne said.

The other European newcomer, Piliptchak, a
native of Kiev, Ukraine, went 5-5 in singles, and

teamed with three different partners to win seven
doubles matches.

The 1996 spring season began on familiar territory
for the Cats. With team scoring once again on the
boards, the team's first spring tournament produced
few highlights, as the Cats fell Jan. 26 to Northwestern
in Topeka.

They rebounded Feb. 3 with a 7-0 victory over
Creighton in Manhattan. Dorodnova, having taken
over the No. 1 singles spot, cruised to a 6-0, 6-0 rout
of Creighton's Traci Miller.

"I just wanted to control the points, put some
pressure on her and not let her dictate any of the game, "
Dorodnova said.

As newcomers to the team, Dorodnova and
Piliptchak had to make the transition from European to
American tennis surfaces.

"Both of them are playing a little bit of the clay-
court tennis on the hard court, and they haven't fully
adjusted their game to the hard courts, but that doesn't
happen overnight," Bietau said. "They both fought
pretty hard and have a new appreciation for the level of
play in college tennis."

The Wildcats' highest finish in the fall was sixth
at the University of Texas- Arlington Nov. 12-14.

The momentum came from a
solid performance in the '95 spring
season. Returning to the course after
a three-month break, the team won
its first tournament of the spring season
at Southwest Texas State.

From there, the Cats went on to
place fifth in the Big 8 Conference,
their best finish in two decades.

"We were real excited, especially
about the Big 8 because that hadn't
been done in 20 years," senior Jason
Losch said. "It was something we were
proud of — something that hadn't
been accomplished for a while and
should' ve canied over into the summer

and fall seasons. But we kind of left it behind."

The experience came from a roster dominated
by upperclassmen. Coach Mark Elliott said maturity
was one of the team's strengths.

"Last spring, we had four juniors and a
sophomore. Now we have four seniors and a
junior, so now we have experience to our
advantage," he said. "They're a good group of

kids. They go about things the right way."

Elliott said age could also hinder a player's
performance. By the time a player's senior year comes
around he may have put golf on the back burner.

"Some seniors have a hard time in the spring
semester," he said. "They may not play as well as
they can because they're almost done with school
and are ready to go on to other things. By their
senior year, it's easy to lose interest.

"If they're really good, they may have the
confidence in their game to go on and do something
with golf. If not, it makes it more difficult for them."

Senior Troy Halterman said he witnessed senior
burnout during the two years he played at Oklahoma
State and even during his first year at K-State.

"The senior year is the hardest," Halterman
said. "The athletes who usually do well do great in
their junior year and then kind of drop off in their
senior year. I think they put too much pressure on
themselves. They want to make sure they have a
really good last year."

But neither experience nor momentum could
make the fall season what it might have been.
Halterman, who tied for 12th at both Stephen F.
Austin-Crown Colony Intercollegiate Golf
Tournament Feb. 23-24 and University of Texas-
Arlington's tournament, was usually the Cats' top
finisher.

"We finished average in our tournaments in
the fall," he said. "We didn't win any, and there
weren't really any highlights. We usually finished
in the middle or upper half."

We need to work more on their

belief in themselves. It should

give them stability having a

women's head coach.

KRISTI KNIGHT
WOMEN'S GOLF COACH

Kristi Knight, who took over the position of
head coach in July, said she hoped having a full-
time coach would give the players stability.

"I think it was hard on them because they
didn't know the type of person they'd be getting
and the expectations they'd have on them year
after year," Knight said. "It affected
their ability to set goals and improve.
Senior Debbie Chrystal said
Knight was the seventh coach she
had worked with in her five years of
playing golf at K-State. She said
having a full-time coach could only
help the program.

"They found an awesome person
in Kristi, and I think she's here to stay
awhile," Chrystal said. "It's hard when
you change coaches so often. You
work hard for a year and then you get
handed over to someone else."

Purling together to overcome the
coaching obstacle, senior Trisha
Hoover said team members had
always stood by each other.

"We always stick together because •we're in it
together," she said. "The key to any team is to
learn to work as a team before you can win."
With a diverse team loaded with

underclassmen, Chrystal said players were able to
gain different perspectives from each other.

"It helps because you get two sides of the
fence," she said. "The younger people are motivated
and excited about playing. For the older people,
they push us and motivate us to work hard."

Although this was her first time in a coaching
position, Knight said playing golf at Oklahoma
had prepared her for the job.

"I try always to be fair and honest and let the
players know where they stand," she said. "I know
I can't make everybody happy. You've got to do
whatever's best at the time and for the team. My
main objective is to be open with them."

Starting the year on a good note, Knight said the
team tied their lowest team total of 968 at Iowa
Sept. 15-17, but still only ranked fifth out of five
teams. The team struggled at the last two tournaments
of the fall season, finishing last in a 14-team field at
the Sunflower Invitational Oct. 15-17 in Wichita
and 1 1 th-out-of- 1 2 at the Lamar Lady Cardinal
Invitational Oct. 29-3 1 in Beaumont, Texas.

The main obstacles Knight hoped to overcome
were the large team totals in rounds and the
number of double bogies.

Knight said players also needed to work on
their confidence and not allow shaky starts to get
them down.

"We need to work more on their belief in
themselves," she said. "That goes back to the past
coaching situation. It should give them stability
having a women's head coach."

CLIFF ROVELTO
COACH

Returning athletes gave the
team an experienced and talented
roster.

One returner, sophomore
Ashlie Kinton, placed first in the
women's 3, 000-meter race at the
KSU Invitational Feb. 3.

"It's the first time I've run it, so
I wasn't real sure what I really wanted
to do," Kinton said. "I just went out
and I felt really relaxed."

She said the season went
quickly, especially once the team
members began improving their
skills.

"My times have come down
some and all my hard work is paying
off," she said. "I really want to concentrate on the
mile and bring my time down."

The women's team soundly beat out
Oklahoma State for a first-place finish in the
invitational, while the men fell short of a first-

place finish and came in second behind Southwest
Missouri State.

Overall, the coaches said they were happy
with the invitational's results.

"From the races I've seen, I think we've done
really well," Coach Terry Drake said. "Scott Galas
had a great race in the 800 and a big PR (personal
record) for him and the girls in the 1,000 ran three
ot the fastest times in the Big 8."

The Cats challenged themselves several times
throughout the season, facing top runners at meets
like the Husker Invitational Feb. 9-10 in Lincoln,
Neb.

Sophomore Vannita Kinard placed fourth in
the women's triple jump with a distance of 42 feet,
7 inches. This was the team's only automatic
qualifying mark for the meet, although four team
members claimed NCAA provisional qualifying
marks including freshman Renetta Seiler and senior
Kirsten Schultz. Both qualified in the women's
20-pound weight throw.

The men's and women's distance medley
teams placed third at the Husker Invitational. The
men's distance medley team had a time of 1 0:03.04
and the women finished in 1 1:51.35.

This meet was not as intense as the Husker
Invitational because many teams were preparing
tor conference meets.

"Basically, we just want to do things to
sharpen up for (the Big 8 meet), " Cliff Rovelto,
head track coach, said.

K-State alumni also ran in the Coors
Invitational, including Nicole Green who won
the women's 400-meter race with a time of 54:07.

Steve Fritz, former K-State decathlete and
Olympic-hopeful, also qualified for the national
indoor championships.

Seven men picked up first-place finishes at
the meet, including junior Jeff Martin in the 400-
meter run; junior Ryan Johnson in the 800-meter
run; junior Ken Dennard in the 55-meter hurdles;
senior Ryan Clive-Smith in the 3,000-meter run;
senior Itai Margalit in the high jump; sophomore
Marshall Grayson in the long jump; and senior
Brian Eilerts in the weight throw.

The women who finished first at the Coors

600-meter run; junior Samantha McNamara in
the 1 , 600-meter run; and freshman Renetta Seiler

After strong performances at the Coors

Championships.

"I think we're getting there. Our women's
team is pretty strong," Rovelto said after the
invitational. "We've got people in every area.
There's no real glaring weaknesses."

At the Big 8 Championships March 8-9 in

ended the indoor season with strong finishes.

The women's team placed third behind
Nebraska and Colorado. Nebraska had 197 points,
Colorado finished with 153, and K-State had 97,

COACHES

Tr?<£>

competing athletically and academically a team aspect of sports

BY DAN

We're just here to

make life easier on

the coaches — let

them worry about the
important things while
we do the little things.
They have better things
to do than worry about
getting tapes in the mail

BRAD

SENIOR IN
SECONDARY EDUCATION

FOR MOST, the world of sports existed on the
court or the playing field. It the game extended beyond
those simple boundaries, it reached only to the coaches
and the fans in the stands.

Hardly noticed by the casual observer were the
men and women who sat on the far end
of the bench, the student managers and
trainers with the water bottles and the
marker boards — people whose presence
helped everything come together.

"It's literally essential for us,"
volleyball Coach Jim Moore said.
"Without a full-time secretary — all of
the other things we want to do in the
office — they make us able to exist."

What was it managers did to make
such a difference?

"Everything from laundry to
secretarial things to doing stats to helping
set up for practice," Moore said.

"I do their laundry," Alicia Kendall,
manager tor the women's basketball team
and sophomore in pre-veterinary
medicine, said. "And during practice I
run the clocks."

Kendall walked on the team as a
freshman, playing on the practice squad
but never getting into a game. She chose
to be a manager when playing was no
longer an option.

"It started out last year when I
played," Kendall said. "When Coach
(Brian) Agler said I probably wouldn't
get any playing time this year, he offered
to let me stay on as a manager."
Kendall said the position allowed her to stay close
to the friends she made practicing with the team.

"I stayed mainlyjust to be around the game and the
team," she said. "I made some friends last year, and I
wanted to be able to stay close to things."

For others, like Brad Newitt, who coordinated the
men's basketball team's videotape operations by taping
games and obtaining game tape from opponents,

managing was a step toward a higher goal — coaching.

"I want to be a high school coach," Newitt, senior
in secondary education, said. "This allows me to learn
about the game by being at the practices."

Barb Stucky, volunteer assistant with the volleyball
team and senior in secondary education, said the time
with the team could be invaluable for a future coach.

"I'm going into coaching, and since high school I
haven't really had a chance to work with an organized
team," Stucky said. "This is a good opportunity to
work with a team."

Attending practice helped managers learn about
several aspects of coaching.

"They can pick up drills that they like, learn
techniques for skill development, see various offenses
and defenses in practice and see how coaches deal with
players," Moore said. "Then they can choose what
they find most appropriate and effective."

Newitt said working with the team would greatly
enhance his chances of landing a coaching job.

"Getting to spend the time with the team, not only
do you learn more about the way the game operates and
the best ways to run a team, you also get the chance to
work with some great coaches," he said.

"When it comes time to apply for a coaching job,
that name on the resume and that letter of reference can
go a long way."

Whether it was laundry or videotape or filling
water bottles, the work of the managers came down to
one thing — freeing up the time of the coaching staff.

"We're just there to make life easier for the coaches
— let them worry about the important things while we
do the little things," Newitt said. "They have better
things to do than worry about getting tapes in the
mail."

Moore agreed, adding his appreciation for the
contributions students make to his program.

"Ourjob is to coach," he said. "So it's great to have
someone to help with the other things."

Players, coaches and managers made up a single
unit with a single goal — a winning program.

"We're part of the team who just aren't on the
court," Kendall said.

296 Managers

Brad Reams, head manager of
the women's basketball team
and senior in history, carries
off the women's uniforms after
their loss to KU at the Big 8
Tournament in Salina March 2-
4. Managers performed different
functions for the teams,
including keeping stats,
videotaping the games, filling
water bottles and doing the
laundry. Managers were
required to attend all games
and practices, and help out
wherever they were needed.

was invaluable for the students
who were interested in
becoming coaches. Other

when playing was no longer an
option. (Photo by Darren

COACH CLIFF ROVELTO

Five Cats — Green, Hope, Wentland, senior Kristen
Schultz (javelin) andjuniorKarissa Owens (100 meters)
— qualified for the NCAA Championships in Knoxville,
Tenn.

At the May 31 -June 3 meet, Owens placed fifth in
her 100-meter dash preliminary, but her time ol 1 1.75
was not fast enough to advance her to the semifinals.

"Karissa didn't get the start that she usually does,
and even though she finished well, it cost her the race,"
Rovelto said.

Hope placed third in her 400-meter preliminary
heat with a time of 53.28, but did not advance.

Green won that semifinal heat with a time of 52.53.
Taking that confidence into the final, she raced to a first
place finish of 52.01.

Top honors for K-State went to Wentland, who
placed second in the high jump. Yet after leading the
field the entire season, she said the runner-up finish was
hard to take.

"I have to say I was a little bit disappointed,"
Wentland said. "I had a really good year and up until
the NCAA meet I really thought I could win it. But I
injured myself in the meet, and it was hard to have
come that far and not win."

In spite of some impressive individual marks, the
men's team did not achieve the same success at the Big
8 Championships. The Cats' 78 points were good for
a fifth-place finish.

Sophomore TJ. Turner (javelin), junior Travis
Livingston (1 10-meter hurdles) and seniors Bill Fields
(200 meters) and Ed Broxterman (high jump) qualified
for the NCAA Championships.

At the Big 8 meet, Broxterman placed second in
the high jump behind fellow Cat senior Itai Margaht.
Though neither's mark was enough to qualify for the
NCAA Championships, Broxterman had passed a
qualifying height earlier in the season.

Turner was the only other Cat to claim a Big 8 title,
setting a school record with his 232' 7" javelin toss.

Livingston and Fields both finished second in their
events, with Livingston running for a personal best of
13.88 in the 110-meter hurdles.

Despite the team's fifth-place finish, Rovelto said
he was pleased with the men's performance.

"The men really performed well. We couldn't have

asked for more from them," he said. "With all the
people missing due to injuries, I never dreamed we'd
finish as high as fifth."

At the NCAA Championships, Broxterman
highlighted the events for K-State, battling Arkansas'
Ray Doakes for the high jump title. After they both
cleared 7' 4- 1 /2", the bar was moved to 7' 5-3/4". Both
competitors failed to clear their next three tries, giving
Doakes the win on misses.

"He had a very good final attempt at 7' 5-3/4", as
the bar got higher, he just got better," Rovelto said.

After personal letdowns at earlier competitions,
Broxterman was glad to finally come up with a good
performance in a big meet.

"I feel that I finally got the monkey off my back,"
Broxterman said. "Since I didn't do as well as I should
have at the NCAA indoor meet in March, it was good
to perform well here."

302 -Betancourt-

n the spotlight

3ETANC0URT

What began as friendly competition among sisters
grew into a learning experience and a shot at Olympic glory.

Pfer

She started out competing against
sisters.
Irma Betancourt, senior in fi-
nance and varsity cross country and
track runner, grew up with four sisters,
all runners like herself.

When Betancourt was 10, her
older sister Norma was discovered by a
coach at a small competition. The next
day, the four sisters began training with
him.

"After that, we felt like it was a
necessity, like our bodies couldn't go
without it," Betancourt, a Mexico na-
tive, said. "When you don't run, you
feel nervous or you feel angry. You
know that if you run, you are going to
feel better."

Once Betancourt discovered her
love for running, she started competing.
She became a three-time Mexican na-
tional champion in the 800-meter and
1,500-meter races.

Betancourt started thinking about
competing in the Olympics when she
was 19 and began training seriously,
hoping to run for Mexico in the 1992
Olympics.

"I thought I could make it because it
wasn't that far away," she said. "I had to
run a 2:03 m the 800 and I had a 2:05."

"I quit school and started getting
ready for the Olympic games, but I
couldn't make it because before the trials
I got hurt and couldn't run anymore,"
Betancourt said.

She decided to return to school and
eventually, she began training again.
However, Betancourt decided training
and attending college in Mexico was too
difficult because the club where she
trained was two hours from her house.

At first, her father was reluctant to let
her come to the United States,
Betancourt said, but he eventually real-

by as h ley

ized the need for his daughter to attend
an American school.

"He knew that I had to get away
because I was not going to do anything
in Mexico," Betancourt said. "All the
good athletes there in Mexico had to
quit school and just focus on their run-
ning."

For Betancourt, the decision to at-
tend K-State was an easy one. Not only
was she extended an athletic scholar-
ship, but she was also given the chance
to learn English through the
University's English Language Pro-
gram, an opportunity she had not had in
Mexico.

Her junior year, she placed fifth on
the 800-meter all-time indoor honor
roll and as a senior, Betancourt made it
to the national cross country meet
where she finished 1 12th.

Disappointed with her finish,
Betancourt said it was hard to compete
without her teammates there.

"I know that when I run with the
team, I can run faster because I know I
have to run faster for them," she said.
"This time it was weird because I was by
myself."

Coach Terry Drake said he felt
Betancourt's drive and determination
set an example for other team members.

"They saw her progress and said
'We can make the same progress,'
Drake said. "That will be a big part of
the team for the next few years."

As she left her mark on the other
runners, Betancourt began to think
again of her dream to someday represent
Mexico in the Olympics.

"Right now, I have school and I
have my running also, but I have many
things going on here," she said "I think
about it and I'm going to try very hard,
but I know it is going to be harder."

ATHLETES

CONTEMPLATE THE

ALTERNATIVES

BY DAN LEWERENZ

W'hat would campus look like
if there were no sports? No
Memorial Stadium full of soccer
players. No Ahearn Field House surrounded
by campers hoping to get that prime
basketball ticket. No Nichols Theatre —
originally Nichols Gymnasium.

More importantly, some faces would be
noticeably absent from campus. Faces that
might have stayed in their home states. Faces
that needed a scholarship athletics could
provide. Faces that wanted a different
academic program.

"If it wasn't for sports I wouldn't be at
K-State now," said Jacque Derstein,
middle-distance runner and freshman in
biological and agricultural engineering.
Derstein said he couldn't have afforded
tuition without a partial scholarship from
the track program. "I would be at Butler
County Community College."

Others said they might not have even
known about K-State had it not been for
their involvement in sports.

"I didn't know much about K-State
until my recruiting trip," Chris Schulte,
tennis team member and sophomore in
elementary education, said. "Most of my
family went to KU."

Once they arrived at K-State, athletes
began to realize the benefits of participating
in sports — everything from meeting new
people to building character — benefits
they might not have been able to find
elsewhere.

"(Participating in sports) helps with a lot
of things in life — toughens you," Shawn
Rhodes, men's basketball team member and
freshman in arts and sciences, said.
"Sometimes you get emotionally tired, but

you have to fight through it. Having gone
through that will help in life."

Sports taught Schulte lessons that reach
far beyond the court.

"With our team, we have a lot of foreign
players, so it's really broadened my horizons,"
she said.

Would there be any
benefits to not having sports?

Derstein said without
sports she would have time
to develop her musical
interests.

"I would continue my
piano and flute," she said.
"At K-State I don't have the
time."

Schulte said the time
sports required forced her to
manage her time better.

"I think sports bring a
sort of structure to my life,"
she said. "It definitely fills
my time, and I like being
busy — I like having things
to do.

"It helps with planning. You really
have to set aside times for specific things
because your time is so limited. And in that
way, I think it even helps me with my
classes."

In spite of all of the time and energy they
required, most athletes agreed sports were a
valuable and enjoyable way to spend time —
something they would not want to do
without.

"I obviously enjoy it if I'm still doing it
today or I'd have quit a long time ago,"
Thorpe said. "It gives me an excuse to stay
active, to keep in shape."

"It helps with
planning. you
really have to
set aside times
for specific
things because
your time is so

LIMITED."

ATHLETICS

INCREASE

REVENUE

BY LYNN WUGER

Athletes and fans would not be the only
ones to suffer if there were no sports.
Scholarship funds and Manhattan
businesses would also be negatively atfected.

Product licensing and marketing,
entertainment and shopping brought in
approximately $4 million a year to Manhattan,
according to John Fairman, assistant vice
president for institutional advancement, and
Becky Blake, director of Manhattan
Convention and Visitors Bureau.

"When I first got here (in 1987), we made
about $7,000 a year," Fairman said. "And the
marketplace had put no real demands on us.
So the products were mediocre at best."

A dramatic increase in revenue was due
to strong marketing and the introduction of
a solid football program, Fairman said.

"Then came a new football coach and a
new logo," he said. "By then, we were in
place with a solid program."

Strong wins in regular season play and
the 1993 Copper Bowl victory led to
marketing interest from national companies.

"We still couldn't get in to the national
companies like Starter," Fairman said. "But
when the wins started increasing, interest
increased.

"It culminated with the Copper Bowl
victory," he said. "At that point, all of the
major companies were becoming interested."

In 1995, K-State was the 10th fastest-
growing school in the nation in terms of
marketing dollars, bringing in $241,268 in
licensing fees.

The money from marketing and licensing
fees went directly to the University's general
academic scholarship fund.

"Our program requires a 7-1/2 percent
fee on the wholesale value," Fairman said.
"At some schools, the money goes to the
bookstore, some to the president's office.

We are one of about 30 that have it all go to
scholarships."

Besides benefiting the University, athletic
events brought in around $500,000 per game
to Manhattan businesses, Blake said.

Shannon Maddux, marketing and
advertising director for Manhattan Town
Center, said the mall experienced a minimum
35-percent sales increase on game days.

"I don't have a dollar amount because we
don't do a daily sales type of evaluation,"
Maddux said. "But 35 percent is an average
because some of our stores obviously are not
the type of stores that are going to see an
increase, but others, such as Sports Page, are
going to see a huge increase."

Aggieville merchants sponsored athletic
events and reaped the benefits of game days,
Cheryl Sieben, director of the Aggieville
Business Association, said.

"I'd say the majority of the merchants
really benefit greatly on game days," Sieben
said. "You have a lot of out-of-town visitors
before and after the games. The stores and
restaurants are busy with out-ot-towners and
even local fans."

In a world without sports, Aggieville
businesses would generate much less revenue.

"Not having sports would definitely make
a big impact on Aggieville," Sieben said. "If
we didn't have sports, the businesses would
see a major change in their business. But I
don't think it would put anybody out ot
business."

Maddux said the Town Center would
lose some customers if sports didn't exist, but
the businesses would not suffer much.

"Sports revenue is not the only thing that
makes or breaks the businesses, but it sure is
one of the stronger draws," he said. "But
without the games we would not be bringing
in the large amount of people."

TEACHES ONE COACH

LIFE'S LESSONS

BY DAN LEWERENZ

Sports played at least a small part in
most people's lives. However, few
had an intimate relationship with
sports like former men's basketball coach
Jack Hartman.

A quarterback and point guard for Okla-
homa A&M (now Oklahoma State) in the
1950s, Hartman played basketball for leg-
endary coach Henry Iba before embarking
on his own coaching career.

"I've never been gainfully employed,"
Hartman said. "My whole life has been
wrapped up in sports. Even after I was done
coaching they put me behind a microphone,
although that's more a hobby than anything
else."

Hartman racked up a 150-46 record in
seven years at Coffeyville Community Col-
lege, including the last undefeated season in
community college history. He coached
Southern Illinois University to a 144-64
record over a seven-year period before go-
ing 295- 1 69 in 1 6 years to become K-State's
all-time winningest coach.

Hartman, who coached the Wildcats
from 1970-86 and served as the women's
basketball interim coach in '96, said al-
though it was the wins he remembered the
most, the losses taught him and his players
most about life.

"You learn a lot from losing," he said.
"Life isn't just a bed of roses. It's full of
struggles and disappointments. Until you
learn to live with those — and more impor-
tantly, learn to learn from them — you're
going to stay disappointed.

"Sports can help you through that. You
learn the most when you play a really good
opponent, someone good enough to show
you what you should be doing."

And sports were more than just winning

and losing. The ideas of competition and
cooperation were intrinsically linked to the
sporting world.

"There is an element of cooperation in
sports that doesn't always show up in the
record books, but without it
you get nowhere," Hartman
said. "A player can't score 30
points without someone to
give him the ball — and if he
and his team aren't playing
defense, it won't matter
anyway. A quarterback can't
throw a touchdown pass
without having a receiver to
catch it and some linemen to
make sure he doesn't get
sacked.

"Who should get more
credit, the receiver -who
catches the ball or the two
others who draw off the de-
fense? Everything you do,
it's all part of a team effort,
and the athlete who doesn't
realize that — or the busi-
nessman or the journalist or
what-have-you — isn't go-
ing to be very successful."

So what would
Hartman's world, both personally and the
world around him, have been like without
sports?

"That's a very depressing question," he
said. "First, I would have to find a job and
earn an honest living. But more impor-
tantly, a major part of our lives would be
missing. There are a lot of lessons in life, and
sports are a fun way to learn those lessons.
Without sports, we'd have a pretty dull,
bleak world."

"YOU LEARN A LOT
FROM LOSING, LIFE
isn't JUST A BED
of roses. It's

FULL OF

struggles and
disappointments.
Until you learn
to live with
those— you're
going to stay

disappointed."

"I THINK YOU NEED

DEGREE OR OTHER."

-Mark

ED

Sports had a far-reaching effect on
society — and maybe no better ex-
ample existed than K-State. From
rallying around the football team to the pick-
up games of volleyball to the NCAA Tour-
nament pools, it was hard for students to
imagine the University without sports.

Students said varsity sports provided a
channel through which the rest of the world
viewed the University.

"A lot of people hear
about K-State through see-
ing our games on TV or our
scores in the papers," Erik
Pollom, sophomore in soci-
ology, said. "I don't know
how many of those people
end up coming to K-State,
but there have to be some.
And they probably wouldn't
be here otherwise."

The absence of sports
could cause other changes in
the University as well.

"The number of stu-
dents would drop, and with
that would come cuts,"
Mark Wendt, senior in secondary educa-
tion, said. "I can see instructors having to be
laid off because of declining enrollment if
we suddenly got rid of sports."

President Jon Wefald said while K-State
was the university of choice for Kansas high
school students in the 1990s, that was not
always the case — and sports might have
been a key reason for the change.

"When I got here, we were not the
school of choice in Kansas," he said. "It
wasn't until 1988 or '89 that we earned that
distinction, about the time we hired (football
coach) Bill Snyder and made the 'Elite Eight'
of the NCAA basketball tournament. Both

Wendt,

DUCATION

inside and outside the state, it's definitely a
plus."

Once a student had chosen to attend a
school, sports provided benefits. Some, like
opportunities for exercise and socialization,
were obvious.

"I don't think a student can be very well-
balanced without something along those
lines," Wendt said. "We need time for work
and we need time for play. I think you need
to be fit in all aspects of life — the physical,
the mental, the spiritual and the emotional
— and sports give an outlet for all of those to
some degree or other."

Some benefits, like capital improve-
ments on campus, were not so obvious.

"Most people may not look this far from
the immediate subject, but you can probably
even tie a lot of campus improvements to
alumni pride. From library expansion to the
art museum, these things seem to coincide
time-wise with the success of our football
team," Wendt said.

Wefald said sports were a must at a
university the size of K-State.

"The pursuit of academic excellence has
to be No. 1, No. 2, No. 3, No. 4 and No. 5
in terms of importance. That's why we're
here," he said. "But ifyou're a member of the
Big 8 or Big 12 Conference, you have to be
competitive in athletics, too."

Without sports, Wendt said K-Staters
would have fewer things in common to look
back on.

"When you look at 9,000 to 10,000
students at every football game or the num-
ber of people who play intramurals, I think it
would be hard to have a unity of student
experience without sports," he said.

In Wefald's eyes, it all came down to one
thing.

"People love a winner," he said.

to rely on each other

U Rv I I Km

By J.J. Kuntz

Cooperative living through daily duties brought the
Alpha of Clovia members closer together.

"It's not just living with 60 other women, it's
interacting," Janell Coe, house president and senior in
agricultural journalism, said.

Clovia, established in 1931 by seven students in 4-
H, was the only scholarship house affiliated with the
Kansas 4-H foundation.

"We have a full range of majors," Monica Wilson,
house vice-president and senior in accounting, said. "We
aren't all agriculture majors like some people might
think."

But, most members had 4-H or similar backgrounds.

"The foundation required 90 percent of the house
to be past 4-H or similar activity members," Wilson
said. "They also act like our landlord, taking care of
major repairs and holding our lease."

As part of the cooperative living, each member was
required to complete four or five hours of duties per
week, which helped keep expenses down.

"Doing our own cooking, cleaning and general
upkeep of the house relieved the financial burden for
many house members," Coe said.

The cooking and the baking was done by members.

"It was a pretty big responsibility (being a cook),"
Lesley Folkerts, sophomore in arts and sciences, said.
"You have all the girls counting on you. If you forget
that you have to cook, someone would have to fill in
for you and that might mess up their schedule."

The house had members who were used to pitching
in and lending a hand, Coe said.

"I think most of the girls enjoyed doing their duties,"
Coe said. "We assigned them to certain duties but the girls
could request which duties they would like to do."

In the cooperative living environment, each member
had a daily set duty.

"I had two set duties this year. I was the early lunch
cook, so I was responsible for getting everything started,"
Folkerts saici. "I was also the late cook after dinner, so I
made sure all tables were cleaned and dishes were stacked
for the dishwasher."

Members were also given rotating duties. Some
rotating duties included cleaning bathrooms, sweeping
and spending time with the housemother.

"We assign two girls to escort Mom to dinner during
the week," Wilson said. "Sometimes we would help her
with errands or go with her to a craft show."

With members involved in many activities, it was
sometimes difficult for them to make time to spend with
mom, Folkerts said.

"Because she has her own apartment she can
sometimes get isolated," she said. "This duty allows time
to get to know her better."

Because members relied on each other, they tended
to act like a family, Folkerts said.

"We have to go through the cleaning, fighting and
getting on each other's nerves," she said. "In the end, it
brings us all closer together."

helping feed the needy

uses a"ii

touch

By Chris Dean

For the residents of Ford Hall, helping needy families
celehrate the holidays required a personal touch.

Residents of the seventh floor decided to provide a
Thanksgiving dinner for a needy family, but Sara Splichal,
senior in life sciences, did not want to plan the event
through normal organizations.

"What discouraged me is that people don't have
one-on-one contact with the people they help and that
is something I wanted the residents to have," she said.

Splichal said most organizations had too much red
tape and did not provide the benefits that helping people
hands-on did.

"It gives a very different outlook on people's plights,"
she said. "People who can go to college and drive nice
cars don't get to see the problems of others."

To accomplish this hands-on help, Splichal contacted
local churches and asked for a list of families who would
benefit the most from the help. Once she had names, she
asked tor volunteers from her floor.

Residents were asked to donate money, help purchase
the food and deliver it to the family.

Floor members donated 50 cents to a dollar and
raised $56.

Splichal and three other residents from the floor
delivered the Thanksgiving meal to a mother and her
two children.

"I was happy to do this because I like to help people
and everybody, even the needy, should be thought of
at Thanksgiving," Maggie Davis, freshman in nutrition

and exercise science, said. "She (the mother) was really
appreciative and I was glad that I could help."

Helping the needy family also made the volunteers
appreciative.

"Seeing how this family lived made me really
thankful for everything I have. She
didn't have much of anything," Sarah
Meng, freshman in pre-medicine, said.
"She was really proud ot her children.
She showed us her pictures ot them.
They were not in frames, but she had
them taped to the walls."

Davis said she was happy to help.

"This kind of help is good because
you get to see how your help is being
used," she said.

Splichal said she was pleased with
the response trom the residents.

"Projects like this bring out the
best in people and I appreciate the
generosity and thoughttulness that is so
important," she said. "It's a real tribute
to the girls on the floor."

She also said she hoped more floors would try
similar projects in the future.

"I hope future staffs will see the rewards of this and
continue the tradition," Splichal said. "We need to
reach out to the community and not just make it a
holiday thing."

"I was happy to do
this because I like to
help people and every-
body, even the needy,
should be thought of at
Thanksgiving."

window decorations show

I Goodnow's

■ Goodnow s| I ■ j

pizza box spirit

X X R „ I I K „

By J.J. Kuntz

ootball season gave Goodnow Hall residents more

than somewhere to go on Saturday afternoons — it
gave them a way to use all their empty pizza boxes.

Following a hall housekeeper's suggestion, residents
supported the football team by decorating their lobby
windows.

"One floor made a Powercat out of Pizza Shuttle
boxes and then painted it purple and put it in their lobby
window," Jenni Hoopes, sophomore in interior design,
said. "I did it just because I wanted to. Everyone liked
it and then the other floors caught on and it just became
a big thing."

The idea to decorate the lobby windows came from
the second floor housekeeper, Glen Miller.

"He brought it up, and I said 'Okay, I'll do it,'
Hoopes said. "His dream was that he wanted a Powercat
in everyone's window on the front of the building."

With the decorations, Miller hoped to spread spirit
for the upcoming football game against Kansas.

"The idea was to have the main lobby windows
with, 'Go Cats, Beat the Hawks,' and then have Powercats
on every room window," Miller said. "But then the idea
changed, which is better. Each floor had their own take
on it, which was the original intent in the creative
process."

By the end of the football season almost every floor
had participated in some form of the window paintings.

"Our idea was just basically to get as many people as
possible involved, kind of an ice breaker-type thing,"

Miller said. "Given the location, the front fcicing the big
intersection, it seemed like a good idea."

The residents were pleased with other students'
reactions to the decorations.

"I think it has brought a lot of attention to the hall
and to the school especially," Cindy Martin, freshman in
business administration, said. "We
were even told that Pat Bosco, dean of
student life, felt that it was good spirit
for the school and for Goodnow Hall."

The residents started a tradition
that provided an opportunity for
everyone to get involved, Hoopes
said.

"It has brought a lot of people
together that would have just sat in
their rooms and have done nothing,"
she said. "I think a lot of people have
been coming out and helping to do
stuff because they were interested and
wanted to see what was going on."

Miller said that creating an
enjoyable living environment for the residents was the
whole purpose.

"The whole thing comes down to getting the
residents to have an investment in the place, to make it
a little more than a dorm," he said. "I'm really pleased
with the way it turned out better than the original plan.
The only thing now is, how do we follow it up?"

convenience on campus

Bv Lvnn Wu?erX

By Lynn Wuger

"It's easy living and I
hardly have any responsi-
bilities except for work
and school."

Cheap accommodations and easy living convinced
three students to make a residence hall their home tor
six years.

Geo Eisele, Mike Flory and Jim Harris, all sixth-year
seniors, found Haymaker Hall a refreshing, easy-going
place to live.

"It's not the greatest thing you want to tell somebody
because it does have the undertone ot 'You still live in the
dorms,' but it doesn't bother me," Eisele, senior in
sociology, said. "It's easy living and I hardly have any
responsibilities except for work and school."

Besides only having to make one
monthly payment, Eisele, Harris and
Flory received a guaranteed living rate
from the Department ot Housing and
Dining Services.

"Housing did give us a break our
first year here," Eisele saieL "They gave
us a guarantee not to increase our cost
ot living."

The idea of providing residents
with a guaranteed rate was experimental
for the university.

"It was only for the year we moved
m," Harris, senior in biology, said. "It was an experiment
they tried for 1990 and I guess we were lucky to move
in when we did."

The seniors, none of whom had roommates, moved
into remodeled suites in August. The suites were larger
rooms with full- or half-bathroom options.

"Living here is a great benefit considering I pay to
have a room to myself while incoming freshman pay to
have a room with a roommate," Flory, senior m
management, said. "I wasn't going to live in the dorms
again, but it's easier and more convenient than living off-
campus."

Living in the suites had several benefits.
"We're basically getting a bathroom for free," Eisele
said. "Plus we get a ceiling tan and carpet. And about
every two weeks, the housekeepers come in and clean

Geo Eisele
senior in sociology

the bathrooms for us and sterilize them."

Cheaper accommodations were not the only reasons
the men remained in Haymaker.

Harris and Eisele worked as hall receptionists. Harris
also delivered and sorted hall mail.

"That's the main reason I'm staying here," he said. "I
have a job right down the hall."

Residence halls also provided several cheaper, more
convenient items not found off-campus.

"Housing cooks for us. We don't have to do dishes
and the housekeepers clean up a lot of things," Eisele said.
"Plus, we have laundry facilities right here and they're
cheaper than off-campus. I've heard a lot ot guys say it
costs them anywhere from a $1 to $1 .50 to do one load
of laundry. And here it's only 75 cents."

Eisele said he perfered the residence halls to living
off-campus.

"I've heard stories of landlords, roommates and
neighbors," Eisele said. "And here, we just don't have
those problems."

Harris said he found off-campus living more of a
hassle. He lived off-campus during the summer, but
always returned to Haymaker when classes started.

"When I lived off-campus during the summers, I
never had a chance to get to know my neighbors," Harris
said. "It's a lot friendlier here and you always have a chance
to knock on someone's door and they will be home or
leave your door open and someone will come in."

The open and friendly atmosphere ot Haymaker
helped Harris adjust to college life.

"I like the hall because I consider it the place where
I grew up," Harris said. "When I came here, I was so
naive and gullible. I basically had to force myself to grow
up. It's made me loyal to Haymaker."

Choosing to stay in Haymaker for six years was an
easy decision for Eisele, Harris and Flory.

"I think it takes a certain mind set to want to live in
the hall as long as we have," Harris said. "Some guys can't
wait to get out but George, Mike and I are satisfied. We
just don't want to leave."

Doyd Ferris, junior in electrical engineering, tries to
fix Matt Love's, sophomore in apparel and textile
marketing, computer. Love and Ferris lived in the
newly remodeled suites in Marlatt Hall. The suites
included private bathrooms.

Kevin Trendel, senior in electrical engineering,
studies in his Marlatt suite. Trendal, Ferris and
Blake Thomas, sophomore in architectural
engineering, lived in a three-person suite which
contained a bedroom, living room and bathroom.

I aking advantage of the extra space, Marlatt
residents were able to fit more stuff into their
rooms. Trendal, Ferris and Thomas filled their
suite's main room with three desks, three bookcases,
six chairs, a refrigerator and a beanbag.

Besides the new suites, Marlatt had another new
addition. Eighty-one women were housed on Marlatt's
4th floor at the start of the semester because of lack
of space in the female residence halls.

HALL

HOME

Marlatt

Marlatt Hall residents returned
to their living environment
in the fall to find out it had
been invaded by 81 female students.

"I think it was a first," David
Yoder, hall director, said. "We just ran
out of room in the traditional halls for
females."

Most of the females placed in the
previously all-male dorm returned their
contracts late, which caused the
problem.

"I didn't turn my contract in until
the first day the
dorms opened,"
Nichole Stuck,
sophomore in journalism and mass
communications, said. "But they told
us before that we would be in temporary
housing."

The Marlatt governing board had
indicated they would like to remain an
all-male dorm but while playing host
to female students, they found out they
did not mind the women's presence.

"I didn't think that it created any
problems," Kevin Trendel, senior in
electrical engineering, said. "It was
kind ol nice to have some women
around."

The women, who occupied all
three corridors of the fourth floor, did
not think the temporary housing
situation was and problem, Stuck said.

"I really didn't have any problems,"
she said. "There was a lot ot noise
sometimes and with no staff (on our
floors) there wasn't anyone to complain
to."

Because of the temporary situation,
female staff was not hired for the female

by j . j . kuntz

wings, leaving the Marlatt staff to fill in.

Between Aug. 25 and the end of
September, the females began
transferring in small groups to their
permanent residence halls.

' ' I was so surprised that they moved
them so soon," Trendel said. "I figured
they would have had more problems
finding them a new place."

Most of the temales moved into
the first-available residence hall, but
some chose to wait and live in their
first-choice hall.

faces

"It took me less than a month to
get a new housing arrangement," Julie
Strickland, sophomore in agricultural
journalism, said. "Mr. Yoder was really
helpful getting me into Boyd."

In addition to the change ot
residents, Marlatt offered students a
new living arrangement. Construction
that began in June 1994 was completed
in August, offering 23 apartment-style
rooms with private bathrooms.

"It makes for a different atmosphere
because there was no public bathroom.
The residents seemed to be behind
closed doors," Yoder said. "There was
much more privacy and not as much
interaction."

Along with the new suites came
increased prices, ranging from $1,800
to $2,020 for a semester with 20 meals.

"With your own bathroom, you
don't have to worry about other people
making a mess," Trendel said. "I
definitely feel that it is worth the extra
cost."

helping those in need

o o re Hall

gathers spare cents

By Maria Sherrill

Moore Hall's ninth floor resident assistant gobbled to
proclaim victory in the hall's turkey drive.

The week before Thanksgiving break, residents
collected spare change and canned food to donate to the
Flint Hills Breadbasket. The RA of the winning floor
was required to go to dinner at Derby Food Center in a
turkey costume.

"I donated about 35 cents," Aletra Johnson, freshman
in applied music, said. "I wanted Toni to be a turkey. She
had to wear a little beak to dinner."

After her floor won. Torn Henderson, ninth floor
RA and senior in architecture, wore the turkey costume
to Derby. She said she was surprised at how many ninth
floor residents participated in the turkey drive.

"It was something they wanted to do and they
carried it out," Henderson said. "I think one reason is
they wanted to show everyone that they could win."

Residents raised $164.18 and collected 200 cans in
one week.

The turkey drive motivated residents to help those in
need.

"Motivation for collecting so much was mostly to
help charity, although it was different for different
individuals," Elissa Schell, head of the turkey drive
committee and freshman in mechanical engineering, said.

Tim Juarez, senior in business administration, gave
money to help the ninth floor win.

"I made an effort and donated some change," Juarez
said. "I'd rather see the other floors lose."

The floor also wanted to win the turkey drive tor the
charity.

"I thought it was a great idea to raise money for
charity," Gayle Goudy, ninth floor president and
sophomore in fine arts, said. "I went door-to-door and
I had people empty out their drawers full of pennies."

Fifth floor was the runner-up and second floor
placed third in the turkey drive. Competition between
the floors was intense.

"Second floor wins everything," Anna Tischer,
ninth floor resident and sophomore in business
administration, said. "I think we basically just wanted to
show them up."

Grabbing her cousin's shirt, Jennifer Klingele,
sophomore in family studies and human services,
jokes around with David Klingele, freshman in
mechanical engineering.

Shawn Klingele, senior in civil engineering, hangs out
by the Putnam Hall front desk. Shawn said because so
many Klingeles had lived in Putnam, people often said
the name should be changed to Klingele Hall.

engineering, and his cousin Shawn eat pizza in

Jennifer, Paul, Shawn and David pose for a group shot
at the Putnam front desk. Putnam had housed
Klingeles beginning in 1988.

FAMILY

hall

Since 1988, living in Putnam
Hall had been a Klingele family
tradition.
When Paul Klingele, senior in
computer engineering, moved into
Putnam in 1992, he began the
tradition of four family members
living in the hall at once.

"People always tease us, " Shawn
Klingele, Paul's cousin and senior in
civil engineering, said. " Some people
say they ought to name this Klingele
Hall."

Shawn's
sisterjennifer
Klingele, sophomore in family studies
and community service, lived on
Putnam's first floor.

"It's good having family here,"
she said. "After I moved here, I got to
know my brothers and cousins as
friends and it's fun having them
around."

Paul and his brother, David,
freshman in mechanical engineering,
lived together on the fourth floor.
David said he had not felt pressure to
attend K-State.

"I thought it would be a nice
touch if I went to K-State, but I didn't
feel obligated to go," David said.

Living in the same hall allowed
family members to learn more about
each other, Shawn said.

"When I left for college my sister
was in the eighth grade," he said.
"That's how I remembered her.
When she finally got up here, I got to
know her better and thought 'Hey,
she's changed and grown up a bit.' '"

Shawn and Jennifer saw their
cousins only a few times a year but

by ashley schmidt

that changed once they all lived in
the same residence hall.

"Sometimes we all get together
to eat, go to a movie or just hang
out," Shawn said. "I also see my
cousins when we have fourth floor
functions."

Although he had a hectic
schedule, Paul said he always made
time for family.

"We watched all the football
games that we could together and we

kvjr^m** k»

reunion

get together to celebrate birthdays,"
he said.

No one was sure why living in
Putnam had become a family practice,
Jennifer said.

"It's just one of those things that
just happened and we don't know
why," she said. "With my family, it's
a joke-type thing."

After Shawn graduated in
December, only three Klingeles were
left in the hall.

"There's been tour here for so
long, they feel like they're down in
numbers," Shawn said.

Since the Klingele tradition began
with Maria Klingele, six family
members had lived in Putnam.

"Around my birthday one year, a
female friend from high school came
up to surprise me," Shawn said. "She
knew I lived in Putnam Hall. I was
gone at class, but my cousin Brenda
was working the front desk and Maria
was out on the porch. My friend said
'No one can even come to the hall
without running into a Klingele.'

24-hour policy leaves

I Putnam

abiding with silence

vy Bv the Roval P u r d I e S t a 1

ppearances could be deceiving, especially for students
concerned about the connotations of a 24-hour quiet

haU.

"People see the 24-hour quiet hall sign and just
freak out," Paul Klingele, Putnam Hall governing board
president and senior in computer engineering, said.
"People just picture us sitting chained to our desks
studying. That's not the case. We just know where to be
loud and that's in the TV room in the basement. The
basement is where we make all the noise."

Although Putnam residents could get rowdy in the
basement, they still observed hall rules.

"The hall normally is quiet," Kari Evans, sophomore
in pre-audiology, said. "We have a respect agreement
that creates a 24-hour quiet time. You can be loud if you
want but your neighbor can come over and request that
you stop being loud."

The policy was limiting but it also had advantages.

"Sometimes it can be kind of frustrating being quiet
all the time but when you want it to be quiet — like
when you're studying lor a big test — it's really nice to
have that option," Evans said.

By the Royal Purple Staff

Putnam became a 24-hour quiet hall about 10 years
ago, Klingele said.

Tamara Hosman, sophomore in psychology, said
the policy was enforced more than in previous years.

"You can be in your room with
your TV on really low and they'll
threaten to write you up," she said.
"You just run into someone in the
hallways and if the RA runs into you
(talking), she'll tell you to go into your
room."

Hosman said although she saw a
positive side to the 24-hour quiet hall,
she often felt restricted by the policy.

"I like it that you aren't disturbed
by your neighbors but some of it is a little ridiculous,"
she said. "They take it too far."

Stephanie Raymer, freshman in interior design, said
the majority of residents on her floor did not like the
policy. She advocated a more relaxed policy.

"I'm not thinking (of a policy) exactly like the other
dorms — maybe a 12-hour quiet policy," she said.

"People see the 24-
hour quiet hall sign and
just freak out."

GRADE

by sarah garner

Incoming students competed to
live in Smith Scholarship House.
Cory Pfeifer, house recruitment
chairman and junior in chemistry,
said about 20 to 25 people applied
per year and 10 to 15 were accepted
based on various aspects of Tugh school
life, including ACT score, leadership
ability and how well the applicant
worked with others.

"We're not a bunch of nerds,"
Caudill said. "We don't just look at
GPA, we look at extracurricular

smi

senior in biology, said.

The application process began
by the house obtaining a list of scholars
from the University and sending
information and applications to
incoming students. After completing
an application, a potential member
interviewed with three or four
Smithies.

About 35 members lived in the
house.

"The number goes up and down
from year to year," he said. "We
I j 1 have room for about

leade

activities and at overall character. I
think everyone's image of us is that
you have to have some kind of
scholarship to get in."

Members were required to
maintain a 2.7 grade point average.
To help Smith maintain the highest
GPA among all living groups, as they
had done in five of the past six
semesters, the house had a scholarship
committee.

The committee updated test files,
enforced quiet hours and made sure
members had time to study.

"The president of the scholarship
committee basically helps the house
run smoother," Musick said. "If
someone is having trouble in a class,
he'll try to call the professor and
maybe try to set up tutoring."

The house was not connected
with the University, so Smithies had
to recruit all members themselves,
Charles Caudill, house president and

fg 40 people."

Smith was like a
fraternity in several ways — living
quarters were the same and members
had weekly meetings, Pfeifer said.

"The meetings are basically to
update us on problems and other
things dealing with the house and to
discuss them," Jason Musick,
freshman in music education, said.
"The only thing we do at all meetings
is Quotable Quotes. That's where
guys stand up and tell about funny
things other people in the house
have said."

However, there were differences
between Smith and a greek house.
Smith did not have a membership fee
or a pledge system and all members
had full voting privileges.

Musick said living in the house
helped him study.

"It gives me a chance to study
without the interference of other
stuff," he said. "My social life doesn't
interfere with academics."

340 -Smith-

A Smith member bags leaves as part of his daily
chores. Smith Scholarship House was a cooperative
living environment in which the Smithies did six to
seven hours of cooking and cleaning per week to lower
their house payments.

Members of Smith regularly practiced sports together
to remain in top condition. This allowed them to stay
in the top two teams in independent intramurals, as
they had done for the past five years. One of the
members' favorite games was Ultimate Frisbee.

Charles Caudill cuts down an evergreen tree to take

to Smith for Christmas. The members decorated the

house for the holidays to make it feel more like a

home.

personality patches

By Maria Sherrill

A needy family brought the 45 members of
Smurthwaite House together.

Members found the family through the Flint Hills
Breadbasket and decided to make a quilt for the single
mother and her three-year-old son as a Christmas gift.

Each member contributed to the house's first-ever
quilt by creating a square-foot quilt patch.

"It should be a diverse quilt," Rabiha Abuzeineh,
sophomore in elementary education, said. "It has
everyone's personality in it."

The patches represented the character of the different
creators. Jill Hayhurst, house president and sophomore
in speech pathology, made her patch from Tasmanian
Devil material.

"The material is perfect for our president. It really fits
her personality," Becky Bohne, junior in interior
architecture, said. "It's Jill in the morning."

Other patches symbolized the friendship and family
Smurthwaite provided.

"It starts with friendship, the heart of everything,"
Leslie Schultz, freshman in chemical engineering, said,
describing her patch. "Then the patches of green are for
growth of friendship, the red is for love and blood of the
family and at Smurthwaite we are like family."

Karla Hightower, freshman in home economics education,
found a patch design with the help of her mother.

"I brought one of my mom's quilting books home
and I liked a design," she said. "I liked helping others and
I've always been big on community service."

Others also included their families in the project.

"During Thanksgiving break I brought the material
home," Sacha Haukenberry, sophomore in psychology,
said. "My mom and my grandmother helped (make the
patch). It was like a family gathering."

Because a patch was desired trom every member, not
all 45 squares were quilted.

"We wanted it to be something
everyone could do," Abuzeineh said.
"It didn't matter if they were sewn,
painted or just a piece of material."

The 45 patches came together
through teamwork.

"We are going to move all the
furniture out of the front room,"
Bohne said. "We want a one-inch
border separating each patch, seaming
them together and then we are going
to bind it."

Members also donated toys and appliances to the
needy family.

"We have a large black coat and household appliances
we found to give to the family," Abuzeineh said. "We
want to get educational toys for the little boy."

The members hoped to make the family's Christmas
special, Bohne said.

"The quilt will mean more to them because an entire
house of girls care about them," Hightower said. "If I
got something like this I would be thrilled."

"The quilt will mean
more to them because an
entire house of girls care
about them."

open for holidays

A By l.l. Kuntz U

With jobs, classes and basketball games continuing in
spite of the holidays, residence hall students found

places to stay during winter break — their own
rooms.

"This was an experimental process over the holidays,"
Chuck Werring, director of housing, said. "There were
many factors leading to leaving the dorms open."

Students not wanting to spend the entire break at
home had the option of returning to school with a place
to stay.

"I stayed here because I have a job here in town,"
Jennifer Hildebrand, freshman in business administration,
said. "It was really nice that I didn't have to pack up aU
of my stuff to go stay in another dorm."

In the past, students wanting to stay in the dorms
over winter break were charged an extra cost and
assigned rooms in Marlatt Hall.

Leaving the halls open was a good service for many
international and out-of-state students who were not
returning home, Brian Hart, community assistant for
Goodnow Hall and junior in microbiology, said.

"I know that some people can't go home,"
Hildebrand, said. "It was much more convenient for
them to stay in their dorm and not to have to look for
another place to stay."

Because Strong Complex residents were issued new
room keys when they returned to school, officials
tracked that 104 Strong Complex residents accessed
their rooms over the break.

Other numbers were not available because residents
in remaining halls were not required to check in.

Although all of the halls stayed open, only a few front
desks remained functional during the vacation.

"There were three desks open — Haymaker, Marlatt
and Van Zile. There were seven people on duty all the

By J.J. Kuntz

time," Hart said. "Two sets of rovers went through all
the buildings in four-hour shifts all the time. It -went
pretty smooth."

The staff found it beneficial being able to stay and
work, Werring said.

"We surprisingly had a lot of folks wanting to work
over the break," he said. "We had on-campus and off-
campus people that had worked for us in the past or who
currently work during break."

Residents were able to come and
go as they pleased, Werring said.

"We wanted to go to a
basketball game and rearrange our
room ahead of time, so we thought
we'd come up early," Laura
Williamson, freshman in biology,
said.

Keeping the halls open was
convenient for the residents and kept
past problems from reoccurring.

"Normally at this time of the
year with all of the staff gone, we get
calls from students wanting to get in
the dorms for ski equipment or
forgotten wallets and checkbooks,"
Werring said. "With the dorms open this year people
have been able to come get their stuff and leave without
a problem."

Many students had requested there be a 24-hour,
12-month residence hall, Werring said, and that may be
a future possibility.

"The ideal is the student would check-in in the fall
and have 24-hour access to the dorms until May. It
would just like an apartment," Werring said. "We
would really like to be to that point in the future."

"It was much more
convenient for them to
stay in their dorm than to
look for another place to
stay"

friendships grow in

"If I'm having a prob-
lem, I can go to any
door and say 'Hey, I've
got this problem, will
you help me out. "

Dustin Springer
junior in special education

Rocks found on campus became stepping stones to
building hall unity.

Residents of Van Zile Hall gathered rocks from
campus to aid in getting to know each other.

"Van Zile established the open-door policy," Dustin
Springer, hall president and junior in special education,
said. "We had rocks to prop the doors open. That way
people could walk by, peek in and say 'How's it going?'
"The doors automatically close and keeping them
propped open helped a lot in getting to know everyone
in the hall," he said.

The policy, which worked well in the small hall,
began last year with Emily
Overman, senior in tood science
and industry, and Kristen McGrath,
junior in pre -medicine, Springer
said.

"Emily and Krista started the
open door policy," he said. "It was
generally used by older students so
they could get to know each other. "
The upperclassmen residence
hall, was open to any student
wanting to live there. Roth said.

"I think they (housing) are
trying to give everyone the
opportunity to live in Van Zile
because it's such a unique way ot
living," she said. "This year we had
a few freshmen, sophomores and transfer students."

Besides having an open-door policy, residents also
planned group activities to get acquainted with one
another.

In October, residents gathered in front of the
television to cheer on the Wildcats as they played
Nebraska.

"We had about 35 people get together and order
pizza and watch the game in the lobby," John Schmoll,
junior in history, said. "It was one of the best programs
we've done here, with the best turnout, considering
we're such a small hall."

Another event, which took place the weekend
before Thanksgiving, was a group outing to Kansas City,
Mo.

"We went ice skating at Crown Center one weekend
and went shopping on the Plaza," Kristen Roth, senior
in human ecology, said. "It was one ot our biggest
turnouts with about 20 residents attending."

The hall's interaction paid off when they won the
President's Award for Excellence, Springer said.

"Van Zile residents are very proud of their hall,"
Roth said. "It's visible in their reactions and expectations.
If they want something done, they make sure it gets
done in a positive way for the hall."

Springer said the positive attitude was not always
present in other living situations.

"I lived in Haymaker my freshman year and I hardly
knew anyone who lived on my floor," Springer, said. "I
know everyone living in Van Zile."

Because the hall only housed 68 students, residents
felt they were more like a family, Springer said.

"We have great response from our residents.
Everyone in the hall cares," he said. "It's almost like a
family and that's something that was really rare in such
a big hall like Haymaker."

Talking through problems was also easier since
residents were familiar with everyone living in the hall.

"If I'm having a problem, I can go to any door and
say 'Hey, I've got this problem, will you help me out,' "
Springer said. "I'm sure there are those relationships and
connections in the other halls but I think Van Zile is
really unique."

floor activities decrease

West's

"The floor activi-
ties make the floors
closer and more like
a family."

Liz Miller

sophomore in secondary

education

West Hall residents did not get as many opportunities
to meet girls who lived on other floors as they had
in the past.

Activities in West became more floor-based rather
than concentrated on the entire hall.

Jessika Kiser, hall president and senior
in sociology, said a committee called
Students Programming tor Students did
the planning for all-hall activities but
RAs were responsible tor floor activities.
"Activities are more community-
based," Kiser said. "Floors will do more
just for the floors."

Laura Williams, third floor president
and sophomore in pre-physical therapy,
planned events for her floor.

"There really haven't been a whole

lot of all-hall activities," she said. "Most

of the activities we do are floor activities. I've taken my

girls to lectures on campus and we've gone to things as

a floor."

Liz Miller, fifth floor president and sophomore in
secondary education, said the floor-based activities
brought residents closer.

"I think it's better because you see the girls on your
floor everyday," she said. "When there's an all-hall
activity, there's 300 girls there and you don't know most
of them andyou'rejust trying to meet as many as you can
but you don't get real close to them. The floor activities

Garner

make the floors closer and more like a family."

Some residents did not favor reducing the number of
all-hall activities, Williams said.

"A lot of older residents who are used to having the
big hall activities miss it," she said. "The new residents
don't know how it used to be. They get excited about
the floor activities."

Thaine Bray, freshman in pre-veterinary medicine,
said the floor-based activities were beneficial to residents.

"I've gotten to know people on my floor but not
many others," she said. "I liked the smaller number of
people because you can get to know them better."

Bray said she enjoyed decorating for holidays, taking
study breaks and going out for ice cream with floor
residents.

Floor presidents were responsible for most aspects
of floor activities, Kiser said.

"The floor presidents were each given a different
Homecoming competition they had to organize," she
said. "Each floor did different things to raise money for
the family we adopted. The presidents had to think of
what to do."

Kiser said she thought West needed more all-hall
activities.

"I saw more interaction between girls on different
floors when we had all-halls," she said. "As hall president,
I don't even know everyone in the hall and the only way
to meet them would be to go door-to-door. I would like
to have all-halls and floor activities to supplement."

rise in numbers due to

Acacia's

Larger parties and placing in intramurals were results of
more effective rushing by the Acacia fraternity.

The fraternity initiated 12 to 15 pledges per year in
the past but that number increased to 19, comprising a
pledge class that made up almost half of the fraternity's
50 members.

"The house was down in numbers when we took
office but this is helping our grades. We've gone to the
top five in intramurals and we're having a lot of good
functions," Matt Basler, junior in journalism and mass
communications, said. "The wheel is turning and things
are working the way they should."

Tony Prettyman, rush chairman and sophomore in
agriculture, attributed the large pledge class to having
two rush chairmen.

"Last year we started having two rush chairs instead
ofjust one," he said. "That helps a lot because there's two
guys to share the responsibility and we could visit twice
as many people to recruit."

Dylan Spencer, sophomore in fisheries and wildlife
biology, and Basler served last year as co-rush chairmen.
Basler said members became more involved in
recruiting.

"Dylan and I started out by telling the guys that we
wanted recommendations from them (for potential new
members)," Basler said. "That was something new and
it helped a lot."

Prettyman said he, Basler, Spencer and Dan Knox,
senior in industrial engineering, attended the first Acacia

Leadership Academy at Indiana University Aug. 2-5 to
learn how to rush effectively.

"Our numbers were down and they tried to help
us," Prettyman said. "They taught us good ways to rush,
how to be leaders, things we need to do with our ritual
and just basic fraternity things. I'm definitely glad I
went."

Having more members helped
Acacia's reputation, Prettyman said.

"The more people you have, the
more recognition you get," he said.
"More people on campus know we're a
national fraternity when we get bigger. "

Increasing membership diminished
the financial strain on the fraternity,
Prettyman said.

"This will increase our funds and
money always helps," he said. "We're
able to throw bigger parties."

Luke Meier, fraternity vice president and junior in
pre-law, said the new members added life to the fraternity.

"It's good to get young blood," he said. "They're
excited and enthusiastic. They're willing to do some of
the less glamorous work."

Rush was a vital part of any greek house, Meier said.

"When I was a freshman we didn't realize the
importance of rush and we paid the price," he said. "We
know how important it is now and we need to get that
across to the younger guys. We have to pass it on."

"We've gone to the
top five in intramurals
and we're having a lot
of good functions."

large numbers help

new Members excel

Wednesday night visitors to the Alpha Chi Omega
sorority were apt to see some new faces.

"Quota for rush this year was 43 and we just had a
good rush," Lynn Balthrop, vice president for education
and junior in marketing, said. "We had a lot ol girls who
wanted us as badly as we wanted them."

Alpha Chi accepted 45 new pledges, more than any
other sorority. The total number ot women rushing was
461, down 16 from the previous year.

"There were fewer girls going through rush this year
than the year before," Balthrop said. "So getting this
many pledges is just great."

The newcomers made their mark early when Lisa
Griffiths, freshman in psychology, was named Miss
Pledge Games. The group also won the Spirit Award
and the overall Pledge Games competition.

Ashley Malone, house president and senior in
sociology, said winning these activities helped new
members learn more about each other .

"I think it helped them out a lot. It made them want
to get more involved in the greek system," she said. "For
treshmen coming into this system, it can be really scary
and things like the Pledge Games can help the girls meet
people and have fun."

The pledges helped Alpha Chi follow up their

By Dan Lewerenz

Pledge Games performance by winning the Phi Delta
Theta Score for Charity flag football tournament and
placing no lower than third at Tau Kappa Epsilon
Powder Puff Tournament, Gamma Phi
Beta/Beta Theta Pi Spiketacular and
Alpha Gamma Rho/Pi Kappa Alpha
Beach Bash.

"It helps the new members see that
philanthropies and raising money can
be fun," Malone said.

Because there were so many pledges,
some had to share pledge moms.

"Not everyone takes on a daughter,
so a lot of us have the same pledge
mom," Julie Heinzler, freshman m
environmental design, said. "I'm a twin
with another girl."

Balthrop said the pledge class'
closeness and size would help the
sorority in the future.

"Over the years there are obviously
going to be a lot of people who transfer to another school
or leave to get married, so it's great to have a bigger class
to start with," Balthrop said. "That just means they'll
end up with more people when they're seniors."

"For freshmen coming
into this system, it can
be really scary and
things like the Pledge
Games can help the girls
meet people and have
fun."

alumnae come back to help

celebrate anniversary

Bv Sarah Garner & lonathan A. Yeoman sC/

By Sarah Garner & Jonathan A. Yeoman s'

L or Alpha Delta Pi sorority members, renewed
■*■ friendships and strengthened bonds of sisterhood
marked the weekend of the football game against Kansas.

The Alpha Eta chapter of AD Pi began their three-day
80th anniversary celebration Oct. 27, the week alter the
Oct. 15 founding anniversary.

"We chose that weekend because it was right around
the actual anniversaiy date," Gina Buster, alumni relations
officer andjunior in journalism and mass communications,
said. "It was more complicated to plan, but we were
pleased with the turnout. The game encouraged more
people to come up."

Members were worried few alumnae would attend
the anniversary celebration, Buster said, because it was
the weekend after Homecoming. They thought many
alumnae might return tor Homecoming festivities and
not for the sorority function.

Those concerns were forgotten when 175 alumnae
attended the celebration. Including alumnae's spouses
and families, about 250 people were present.

"It was a bit of a problem with hotel accommodations,"
Amy Vaughan, sorority president and senior in marketing,
said. "Women brought their husbands and children."

Buster said she began trying to make hotel
arrangements for alumnae in April but all Manhattan
hotels were booked because of the football game.

"We ended up having to book rooms in Junction
City, but people were very understanding," Buster said.
"I think they realized how hard it is to get rooms on game
weekends."

She said she was glad most alumnae brought their
families or spouses, because the members had wanted the
celebration to be a family event.

On Friday night, alumnae registered at the ADPi
house and were given house tours and refreshments.

"We displayed some old, refurbished scrapbooks that
the alumnae originally put together," Vaughan said.
"We also had old composites for them to look at how
they used to look when they were in school."

Saturday's events began with a tailgate party prior to
the football game. The house purchased 200 tickets for

the game so alumnae and their families could attend,
Vaughan said.

The game was followed by a semi-formal at the
Wareham Opera House. The K-State Concert Jazz
Ensemble played at the party attended by alumnae,
members and their dates.

"It was kind of tough tor everyone to get up for the
tailgate and go to the game and then get ready and go to
the party," Vaughan said, "but a lot of people attended
and it was very elegant. Eveiyone dressed up for the
occasion."

On Sunday, coffee and donuts were served at the
house and the alumnae came over to catch up, Vaughan
said.

"It was a different crowd than our
75th anniversary," Buster said. "There
were more recent graduates and people
who couldn't come to the 75th."

She started planning for the event in
the summer by sending fliers to all the
alumnae she could locate.

"One of the huge problems with the
anniversary was trying to find all of the
alumnae," Buster said. "They're spread
out all over the country and I'm sure a
lot of them never even received their
information."

The 80th anniversary made members freshman in pre-healtfl professions
more conscious of the sorority's
longevity, she said.

"I think it increased our awareness of the history of
the house and all that it's meant to other people," Buster
said. "It helped (new members) get excited because they
had heard about the anniversary since rush."

The anniversary celebration was meaningful to all
ADPis but especially to new members, Sara Flaherty,
freshman in pre-health professions, said.

"By seeing how close some of the alumnae were, it
made me realize how important these girls will become
to me," Flaherty said. "I'm not that close to eveiyone
yet, but I know that I will be someday."

"By seeing how close
some of the alumnae
were, it made me realize
how important these
girls will become to me."

lacking national support, AGR

Rho Mates

move in new

By Heather Hollingsworth

Sixty-seven little sisters lost their national support.
Although Alpha Gamma Rho fraternity's national
foundation stopped recognizing the fraternity's little
sister program, the organization continued to grow.

"I think it gives us a little more freedom," Julie
Strickland, Alpha Gamma Rho Mate vice president and
sophomore in agricultural journalism, said. "It's nice to
know that our fraternity kept us even though they are
not supported nationally."

During the AGR's national convention in June,
nationals voted to stop recognizing the Rho Mates but
did not mandate official phasing out of the program,
Brent Wiedeman, house president and senior in animal
science, said.

"A lot of the fraternities have done away with their
little sister programs because of the sexist connotation it
carried and the way they went about picking their little
sises," Strickland said.

Members tried to prepare for future conflicts with
nationals over the continuation of the program, Scott
Foote, sophomore in agricultural economics, said.

"We want to be well prepared to say 'This is -why we
should have the program,'" Foote said. "We want our
reason (to continue the program) to outweigh their
reasons."

Despite the lack of national support, the number of
Rho Mate applicants increased. In fall 1992 about 80
women applied, however, that number rose to over 100
in fall 1995, Wiedeman said.

Ol the 100 women who applied, 67 Rho Mates
were selected to equal the number of members in the
fraternity. Pledges were paired with a big sister and
upperclass fraternity members were paired with a little
sister.

The old selection process required applicants to go
from room to room where they were asked questions.

In fall 1994 the AGR members
changed the selection process,
Wiedeman said.

"They didn't think that they were
getting the caliber and quality of girls
that they wanted," Strickland said.
"So they changed it to an interview
process."

Interested applicants filled out
applications and the selection
committee chose women to go
through interviews.

Once selected, the Rho Mates
attended weekly meetings at the
house and participated in activities with the members.
They also helped with the fraternity's philanthropy.

Little sisters found the lack of national support helped
them better govern their organization, Strickland said.

"It hasn't really hindered us. In fact, just this semester
when we elected new officers we opted to add two
additional officers," she said. "Speaking for K-State's
little sises, we're not afraid to evolve."

"We would definitely
fight to keep our organi-
zation. We would vote
against it at the national
convention."

slide show helps

remember the years

On Oct. 21 , members of Alpha Tau Omega fraternity
had more on their minds than the football game
against Nebraska. They were cleaning up the house for
their brothers.

The ATOs sent more than 1,000 invitations to
alumni lor their 75th anniversary. To celebrate the
occasion, members organized a banquet at the Wareham
Opera House, during which alumni and members
watched a slide show about the chapter's 75 years.

Christian Kelly, junior in pre-law, said the slide
show was organizeci by two members and an alumnus
who used pictures from old photo albums.

"I had seen a lot of the pictures beiore in the
scrapbooks but it was still neat," Kelly said. "You would
see a picture of guys from the 70s and you would hear
people laughing from one of the tables behind you and
you would realize that was him years ago and his friends
and wife were laughing about how they had looked back
then."

During the banquet, Brian Ruyle, national ATO
president, awarded the house a True Merit Award, which
recognized the chapter as one of the top 10 in the nation.

"It was neat the president was here giving it to us and
telling us that we're doing things right and we're one of
the top chapters," Cary Majors, house president and
senior in marketing, said. "Having that come from the
national president made us feel really good and the
alumni especially appreciated it."

Ruyle also informed the members of the new ATO
vision, which was 100 percent graduation and 100
percent job placement.

"He talked about 100 percent job placement of
ATOs in the future," Ryan Noose, senior in marketing,
said. "This would be done by networking through
alums and getting contacts in the job market."

The national council's plan was to connect all

By Chris Dean

chapters by computer and create a network of alumni
who could help graduates find jobs.

After the banquet there was a dance which both
actives and alumni attended.

"The dinner was really nice and formal but afterwards
everyone just cut loose and had a great time," Kelly said.
"I was surprised because a lot of the older guys stayed and
were out there dancing and having a great time."

Over 150 alumni attended the celebration, he said.

"I was surprised by the turnout because I knew
people were worried about it since it was a game
weekend," Kelly said. "Turnout was
great though, especially by older alumni.
It was neat because ol the range ot
alumni who came."

In honor of their anniversary, the
ATOs dedicated a granite marker which
was placed outside their house. They
also dedicated a plaque to the people
■who had donated over $150,000 for
house renovations.

Another plaque was dedicated to
Hollis House, the old chapter house,
and placed in Throckmorton Hall which
was the site of the house.

During the celebration, the chapter inducted the
first six people, all original chapter founders, into their
new Hall of Honor.

Throughout the weekend, the actives were also
given the chance to talk with alumni about how the
house was in the past.

"It was great to see the alumni walk through the
house and describe who lived where and what the rooms
used to look like," Kelly said. "A couple said they were
jealous and wished all the renovations had been done
when they were here."

"The dinner was really
nice and formal but
afterwards everyone just
cut loose and had a
great time "

new alpha xi housemother

l l works to , i ii

provide motivation

A By Chad Moreland and J.J. Kuntz

Searching for a new direction to her life, she turned to
the Alpha Xi Delta sorority.

Pauline Houtz took over as the Alpha Xi housemother
at the beginning of the fall semester and had an immediate
effect on the members.

"Mom Houtz has brought more love and spirit to the
sorority than you can possibly imagine," Holly Glover,
junior in pre-health professions, said. "Because ol the
extra stuff and activities she plans and she goes out of her
way to get involved with us, she's given us a much more
unified feeling."

After the death of her mother and husband, Houtz
said she needed a lifestyle change.

"I heard about the housemom position through
Stella Leiszler, the Gamma Phi Beta house mom," Houtz
said. "Stella was always saying how much she enjoyed
her job and made it sound so exciting."

Alter interviewing with a lew houses, Houtz decided
on Alpha Xi.

"I went to the interview and everything with some
of the alumni board and girls and they said to me, 'We
want you,"' she said. "When they said 'We want you,'
it made me feel so good and I decided to do it."

Houtz said she worked to create a positive atmosphere
for the members, especially during the holidays.

"Halloween was really great. We all dressed up and
I think everyone had fun," she said. "For Christmas I
decorated most of the house and I also got Santa Claus
to come by and visit the girls."

Aside from her regular responsibilities of planning
menus and attending sorority functions and meetings,
Houtz said she worked hard at supporting and motivating
the members.

Carol Drew, freshman in speech pathology, said she
saw Houtz at many Alpha Xi events.

"I go to all their functions and try to reinforce
whatever they're interested in," Houtz said. "Whether
it be Glee Club, touch football or a jazz
concert, I'll be there."

She would often take members to
the doctor or to class when they were
late, trying to be available for them
when they needed her, Houtz said.

"Girls are always coming into my
room and sitting and talking with me,"
she said. "I have an open door policy
— day, night or anytime."

The Alpha Xi's appreciated the
effort Houtz put into the house.

"She just goes out of her way to do
things," Erin Shellhardt, junior in
psychology, said. "One day she was out raking leaves at
six in the morning."

Houtz said adjusting to a house full of women was
easy because she had experience working with people.

"I love young people and it is challenging to see
them growing," Houtz said. "I try to inspire them in any
way I can. They are our future generation."

"Mom Houtz has
brought more love and
spirit to the sorority
than you can possibly
imagine."

attending Sunday mass

remember their faith

By Maria Sherrill

Attending mass on Sunday morning was on the weekend
agenda tor Beta Sigma Psi fraternity members.
Beta Sig Sundays, which started when the chapter
was established in 1951, became times for members to
remember what their fraternity was about as they attended
one of the four Lutheran churches in Manhattan.

"Basically, the chaplain picks one Sunday a month
and designates that as Beta Sig
Sunday," David Fetters, house
president and senior in elementary
education, said.

During the fall semester the
Lutheran fraternity had seven Beta
Sig Sundays.

"Our attendance at church is
close to 1 00 percent, which is better
than it has ever been," David Lott,
sophomore in agricultural
journalism, said. "It is because of our chaplain. He took
a step up and organized."

Attendance was mandatory, Billy Wuggazer, house
chaplain and senior in accounting, said but members
never had attendance problems.

"Usually 25 guys go to mass together. Some take
their girlfriends," Brandon Livingston, senior in
mechanical engineering, said. "We go in together and
fill up to three or four rows. The priests really like that."
The Beta Sigs' appearance showed the community
the Lutheran fraternity members were serious about

"The house has always
been strong in spiritual-
ity. That is what the
house is founded on."

David Fetters
senior in elementary education

their faith, Fetters said.

Not only did Beta Sig Sundays make the fraternity
look good, they benefited members, Livingston said.

"As far as for the public, we look like a strong
fraternity," he said. "Not only do we look that way, it
really helps us to be a stronger fraternity and unites us."

Wuggazer said he felt obligated to increase faith
within the fraternity.

"Since we are a Lutheran house it is really important
that we remember why we are all here together,"
Wuggazer said. "It helps us unite as a house."

The house carried on the traditional Lutheran beliefs
not only by going to church but also by how they lived
their daily lives.

"The house has always been strong in spirituality.
That is what the house is founded on," Fetters said. "But
this year more people are involved and our house has
become stronger because of the participation."

Obligations other than religion did not stop the Beta
Sigs from prioritizing their fraternity brothers and religion
first.

"We all come from a common bond," Livingston
said. "Religion adds a really nice touch to the house."

David Beikmann, freshman in agronomy, said he
and other freshmen found advantages in the Lutheran
house.

"I think I have grown stronger in faith," he said.
"Young students go to college and their faith may lessen
but I hope to continue growing as I get older."

There was a new

system for the

campout, which

informed campers

ahead of time when

the flag would go up

and the camping

would begin. The

change made it

easier for campers

because they did

not have to begin

camping days ahead

of time. To stay in

the running for

tickets once the

campout began,

each group kept a

people at their

days reunites

Betas

Beta Theta Pi alumni went back in time, reminiscing
their college years with the men who now inhabited
their old rooms.

The fraternity hosted Beta Days, an event the chapter
sponsored every two years, during the weekend ol the
football game against Kansas.

Members distributed more than 1 ,000 invitations to
encourage alumni to attend the event that involved the
gathering of past and present Betas.

"The game was hyped up and everyone was in a
good mood," Kye Hittle, sophomore in architectural
engineering, said. "A total of 175 attended."

Alumni trom all over the nation made it to the
celebration and a variety ot age groups were involved.

"One entire pledge class attended Beta Days," Sean
Simms, house president and senior in landscape
architecture, said. "The 1970 pledge class and their
families hung out in the dining room and talked about
old times Friday night."

Wade Baker, alumni chairman and junior in
accounting, organized the celebration. He said this was
the first year for a formal banquet following the football

S h e r r i I

game.

"Beta days was successful this year. The formal was
a neat experience to hear their (the alumni) stories,"
Baker said. "I guess you could say we got to visit with
the roots of our fraternity."

On the agenda for the Beta Days
banquet was guest speaker John J.
Rhodes, fraternity and K-State alumnus,
who added a surprise to the event.

"In his speech he praised our
housemother for winning the
housemother of the year," Baker said.
"He also spoke about the importance ot
the fraternity in his lite."

Rhodes then donated his Oxford
Cup to the Betas, which he was awarded
as a lifetime achievement award from
the national chapter.

"The award is only presented to top
Betas," Hittle said. "He (Rhodes) said
he got so much out ot being in the fraternity that he
wanted to give something back to the house."

"I was interested in
Mr. Rhodes, not just
because of his success in
life but to see how our
fraternity affected them
(alumni) later in life."

"It was a sisterhood

sisterhood retreat teaches

1 Chi a 0 s to

take it

Members ot the Chi Omega sorority took it personally
tor more than two hours.

Chi O nationals implemented Take It Personally, a
seminar designed to recognize the important decisions
college students face daily, Jodi Bacon, senior in pre-
physical therapy, said.

Because the seminar was a
mandatory activity, all 136 members
attended the Oct. 22 event in the K-
State Student Union Little Theatre.
Members were supplied with
workbooks, which correlated with
a video about the program.

The program dealt with topics
including rape, hazing and drinking.
Bacon said.

"The videos gave us scenarios
and how to prevent them," she said.
"The seminar lasted two and a half
hours, so we had pizza and pop. It
was like our own movie theater with treats."

The Chi Os divided into groups after the video to
complete the workbooks.

"The program gave the girls in the house a chance to

say 'Hey, that happened to me' or 'Yeah, that could

happen to me,' " Bacon said. "It really opened our eyes."

Take It Personally made the Chi Os aware of the

dangers surrounding them, she said.

"Most ot the girls in the house are from bigger towns.

By Amy Smith

To us, Manhattan is small and sate, but in reality no town
is really safe," Bacon said. "Unless you're taking the
necessary steps, no place is safe."

The video made the members aware ot what was
legally considered hazing.

"In the video, it showed different perspectives that
we had never even thought of. Even teasing is considered
hazing," Bacon said. "Even if a person is just joking
around, someone who doesn't know them might take
them seriously."

Kristen Laughlin, senior in elementary education,
said the video was prepared by the Chi O National
Governing Council and risk management teams.

"A Chi O chapter in Texas acted out the different
scenarios on the tape," she said. "It's not like a home
video, though, it's real professional."

The Take It Personally seminar also addressed safety
precautions concerning the houses.

The video included fire codes, like not having too
many appliances plugged in at once or having things
cluttering the hallway. Angle Pauly, freshman in business
administration, said.

"It surprised me how strict everything is," Pauly
said. "Next year when I live in the house I'm going to
have to remember all that."

Take It Personally provided togetherness for the Chi
O sisters, Bacon said.

"It was a sisterhood retreat as well as an awareness
retreat," she said. " It brought everyone together."

royal towers offer

place to call home

Invading the Royal Towers apartments, Delta Chi
fraternity members lived together for the first time.

"We started from nothing. We colonized. We started
building up numbers and then we started doing things like
a lot of other houses did. We started doing functions with
other groups," Aaron Otto, housing chairman and junior
in political science, said. "Each year we just go a little bit
further and become more established and more involved. "

However, since the fraternity's re-colonization in
1992, Delta Chi members sought to add another brick
to their foundation — a place to call home.

"We concluded that we can't be successful without
being together," Jon Daugharthy, house president and
junior in pre-law, said.

Finding a reasonably priced apartment complex
near campus that could house 31 of the fraternity's 63
members was a major concern, Otto said.

"We found out Royal Towers was one of the better
apartments to live in because it was a big, big apartment
complex," he said.

Having half of the Delta Chis in Royal Towers made
members feel more united, Daugharthy said.

"Getting at least half of us together has increased
unity and brotherhood and communication," he said.
"It has given us something more to work with because
it's showing us what we have to work with. It's giving
us a taste of what it will be like (when we get a house)."

Members no longer had use the phone to remind
each other of games and functions, Otto said.

By Heather Hollingsworth

"It there is an event happening that afternoon we can
knock on the doors. It's a big change talking in person
instead of through cellular fibers," Otto said. "If you
have to make phone calls it's a lot easier for them to say,
'I've got to study, I've got to do whatever.'

Although only two new members
lived in the complex, the centralized
meeting place helped both new members
and actives stay in touch, Otto said.

"It (living in the apartment complex)
gives us the opportunity to bring new
members in," Trice Alford, senior in
speech, said. "It's probably the best pledge
class we have had because they have had
the opportunity to experience more
about the fraternity in the first semester. "

Learning to live with a large group
was a challenge tor the Delta Chis
unfamiliar with the experience.

"There are obviously drawbacks and a lot of sacrifices
you make — just the normal roommate friction," Otto
said. "Everyone gets tired of everybody, but the greater
good, when you step back and look at it, is that
everybody is together and everybody is talking."

Despite the togetherness Royal Towers provided,
members refused to stop building.

"Everything is still like wet clay. You're molding the
future," Otto said. "Gradually it will harden into a
foundation, but you still have to build on it."

"We started building
up numbers and we
started doing things like
a lot of other houses
did."

change in philanthropy leads

arrest for a reason

By Sarah Kallenbach

Bailing out children with cancer was the concern of
the Delta Delta Delta sorority's Jail-n-Bail.

The sorority returned to the philanthropy Oct. 6
after three years of the Deltapalooza band competition.
It was the decision of the nationals to make the change
from Jail-n-Bail to Deltapalooza in 1992.

"They wanted us to try new things. Other Tri-Delt
chapters had tried Deltapalooza and it was successful,"
Amy Voorhes, president of the sorority and senior in lite
sciences, said. "We tried it and it just didn't work."

The cost and difficulty of finding bands lor the
competitions made it difficult for Deltapalooza to be
profitable.

"Deltapalooza was tough because of the bands and
equipment," Alison Downard, junior in pre-dentistry,
said. "With Jail-n-Bail there is not much overhead."

Because the sorority had not done Jail-n-Bail for
three years, Downard said, the planning was difficult.

"It was tough for me because I wasn't here the last
time we did it," she said. "Now that it is established it
will be easier to put it on."

She began making preparations in spring 1995 and
by September her biggest concerns were t-shirt sales and
entry forms.

Two sororities and 1 8 fraternities participated in the
philanthropy, which was at Rusty's Last Chance. The

Tn-Delts raised about $2,000 for the Children's Cancer
Society.

Each of the participating houses nominated a person
to be imprisoned. To be released, or
bailed out, a house had members go to
Last Chance and sign a banner.

While the main event was going
on, other activities took place. Games
like Simon Says, darts, pool and
basketball entertained the packed bar.

"Each house got points tor
participating in the games and they also
bought a lot of food," Downard said.

Bartenders handed out tickets to
those who purchased food and the Tri-
Delts added the tickets to points received
through the games to determine the
winner of the competition.

The Delta Tau Delta fraternity won
the traveling trophy for the most points.

Reaction to the event was positive
from both the Tri-Delts and the participants.

"Everyone was really excited. All the other houses
came together," Jamie VanHecke, senior in speech
pathology, said. "It's really good for the Greek
community."

"They wanted us to
try new things. Other
Tri-Delt chapters had
tried Deltapalooza and it
was successful. We tried
it and it just didn't
work."

lessons

It took one week in Indianapolis to make leaders of
two Delta Sigma Phi fraternity members.

"Every year our national sponsors a College of
Engineered Leadership conference," Dan Ott, fraternity
president and senior in civil engineering, said. "It's a
week-long retreat people from around the country
attend."

From about 200 applicants, Ott and Alex Dean,
junior in biology, were chosen through a selection
process that included an application and an essay.

About 50 people attended the conference July 27-
31, which was informally structured to provide
participants with opportunities to meet other people.

"There is a lot of interaction. They broke us up into
five or six groups," Ott said. "Each group had one
facilitator. He would keep us on track."

Several Delta Sig alumni were asked to speak to the
group, including Pat Boseo, K-State alumni and dean of
student life.

"I dealt with the challenges leaders will face in the
21st century and techniques they can use to meet these
challenges," Bosco said.

The College of Engineered Leadership's goal was
not necessarily to serve the fraternity, Dean said, but to
develop leadership skills that applied to the job market
and members' daily lives.

"I think it takes commitment to a substantive problem,

strong communication skills and a genuine interest in
people other than yourself (to be a successful leader),"
Bosco said. "I think the retreat provided the opportunity
for them to develop their own leader skills and share
common problems and situations found in fraternities."

The lessons taught at the conference were seen in the
way the chapter was run, Dean said.

"You can see how the people who
went took what they learned to take the
house in a positive direction," he said.

To involve alumni in the chapter,
Dean said he used what he learned at
the conference.

"When I returned I became the
alumni relations person," he said. "I
have been able to reach the alums better
and to plan an Alumni Day."

The retreat not only helped the
house but also the individuals.

"I was better able to grasp my own
leadership style," Dean said, "not only how I perceive
myself, but how others perceive me."

The retreat focused on four elements that a leader
should possess — motivation, engineering one's heart,
empowerment and delegating authority.

"They all fit together and if you possess all of those
qualities you are probably a successful leader," Ott said.

"You can see how the
people who went took
what they learned to
take the house in a
positive direction."

first-year members of

Delta Sigma"! Theta

oh their own

By Chris Dean

The members of Delta Sigma Theta sorority had three
common bonds.

All nine women were first-year members who wanted
to gain leadership skills and help the community.

"All the (members from last year) had graduated and we
were left with the task of figuring things out ourselves,
which was really hard at first," Angela Brown, house
president and junior in secondary education, said.

Although the older members were gone, the new
members did not feel abandoned by them.

"Before they left, the last group told us everything we
had to know," Kiki Lovelace, junior in human development
and family studies, said. "It took us time to get everything
together without them but I think that is pretty normal."

Kimberly McKamie, senior in elementary education,
agreed the members were not lacking guidance.

"Our adviser helps us a lot and we are still in contact
with older members," she said.

Jennifer Noisette, senior in management information
systems, said having all new members actually helped the
sorority.

"It's pretty good because we all have fresh, new ideas,"
she said.

The members' limited experience did not keep them
from winning two step shows.

The sorority won the Alpha Kappa Alpha's Neak Frasty
step show Nov. 4 and the Black Expo step show, Steppin'
into the '90s, in Kansas City Dec. 4. Brown said winning
the events increased the self-esteem of the young sorority

members.

"Of course it was a boost," she said. "Doing the job
and knowing that you did it well is always a boost."

Brown said she hoped Delta Sigma Theta's
achievements at the step show would be noticed by
other sororities.

"I would hope that it would not
really grab the other sororities'
attention but make them realize that
it can be done, especially since we are
all new members," she said.

Other achievements included
sponsoring a clothing drive for the
women's shelter, helping with
Habitat for Humanity and
volunteering at a daycare center,
Brown said.

The reason tor the volunteer
projects was because Delta Sigma Theta was a community
service-based sorority and not a social sorority, Lovelace
said.

"Basically I think all sororities are trying to help out
the community," she said. "The only difference is that
we don't live together."

The group did not consider themselves any different
than the other sororities on campus, Noisette said.

"We party just like the rest of them," she said.
"There are just times when we have to get down to
business."

"It's (having all new
members) pretty good
because we all have fresh,
new ideas."

Christmas party allows

DUs to

give the gift of spirit

W \J Rv Sa rah AKallenhar h

By Sarah -*- Kallenbach

Delta Upsilon fraternity went to the Villages tor
Christmas.

The fraternity threw a party Dec. 1 at the Villages, a
home for abused children. All of the 40 children who
lived in the home attended the Christmas party.

"Everyone in the house had been paired up with a
kid and they would get a present they wanted," Ryan
Bridges, senior in marketing, said. "We had a party
where we exchanged gilts."

The party provided the DUs an opportunity to help
children.

"We raise money for it all year long and we like to
go up there to interact with the kids," Quentin Hurst,
fraternity president and senior in finance, said.

About 40 members of the fraternity drove to Topeka
to spend time at the Villages.

"I think we were more excited about doing it for
them than they were," David Fritchen, junior in
journalism and mass communications, said.

The party provided excitement not only for the
fraternity members but also for the children.

"There are a lot of sad cases and the Christmas party

gave us a chance to give the kids something to look
forward to," Fritchen said.

Hurst said the Villages creates a home for children.

"They have a place in Topeka and
also in Lawrence," Hurst said. "It is
basically for kids who have been abused. "

The DUs became involved with
the program because one of their
honorary members founded the
organization.

"The good thing about it is that we
don't gain anything," Fritchen said. "It
is all about giving and being able to
spend time with the kids and making a
difference."

The fraternity members tried to
make it to Topeka at least once a year to
spend time with the children.

"It is giving time back to them and
sharing with them," Bridges said. "It is
important that they know there are people who are out
there praying and pulling tor them."

"There are a lot of
sad cases and the Christ-
mas party gave us a
chance to give the kids
something to look for-
ward to."

commitment to FFA has

FarmHous.e

i r a r m m o u s,e| -j

reaping the rewards

X V/ By Eric B e i k m a n n

Years of being in Future Farmers of America paid off
tor six FarmHouse fraternity members when they
received national recognition.

"A large number of our house members have been
or are currently in FFA," Ben Janssen, freshman in
biological and agricultural engineering, said. "I would
say around 40 percent or more have been involved."

Janssen, Gabe Eckert, Sheldon Eisele, Brad
Montgomery, Derek Roth and Chris Stockbrand found
themselves standing out among the 35,000 participants
attending the 68th National FFA Convention Nov. 8-
1 1 in Kansas City.

"FFA is an organization which builds character and
leadership in young adults," Janssen said. "Kids are
learning respect for themselves and their communities."

He received a National FFA Horse Proficiency
Award and won a trip to Europe.

"I've been in FFA since I was about 13, "Janssen said.
"My award was based on five years of records I kept,
which showed my growth ofknowledge and involvement
in taking care of six horses."

Eisele, freshman in biological and agricultural

engineering, was a member of the national champion
team in agricultural mechanics career development.

Montgomery, freshman in agricultural economics,
and Eckert, freshman in agricultural journalism, served as
delegates and committee members at the convention
because of their positions as Kansas FFA
officers.

Roth, sophomore in biological and
agricultural engineering, was an
American FFA Degree Recipient and a
Forage Production Proficiency Award
finalist. Stockebrand, sophomore in
agriculture, also received the American
FFA Degree, which was awarded to
three percent of FFA members per year.

He said it was not too unusual for six FarmHouse
members to receive national recognition in the same year.

"FarmHouse has a tradition of leadership and
involvement in many areas," Stockebrand said. "FFA
has been a great source of growth for many of our
members but those not involved haven't missed out on
leadership opportunities within the house or on campus."

"The convention really
energized all those in
attendence."

make iuse Into home

By J.J. Ku n tz

- all sounds ol their
became familiar to

Pounding, sanding and sawing
ongoing house renovations -
members of Fiji fraternity.

Remodeling, on the fraternity's house begun in
1994, was to continue throughout the school year and
into 1997.

"There are a lot of things we have to do yet," Adam
Gaines, senior in management, said. "In the future there
is a possibility for an additional wing."

Minor renovations were made during the fall, such
as carpeting in the entry way and living room, building
additional walls for a television area, installing new
lighting and relinishing woodwork around doors and
windows.

The Fiji's computer system was connected to the
campus network, desk space was created and sectioned-
off areas were added to oiler privacy in the library, Tige
Soderberg, junior in feed science management, said.

"It's hard to see the changes unless you knew what
it was like before," Gaines said. "It was like an institution
and now it's more like a home."

After leasing the house on Hunting Avenue in 1 993,

the fraternity made the decision last spring to purchase
it and make changes to the structure.

Most renovations were done by the construction
company, but members also had their share of work.

"To start off, at the beginning ol the
semester during our work week, we put
a lot of time into painting the exterior,"
Jason Schamberger, senior in
accounting, said. "The construction
company is mainly working on the
structural changes."

Money for the renovations, were
expected to total $600,000 and came
from house payments and Fiji nationals.

Soderberg said although the
remodeling process was slow, members were eager to
see what the results would do for the house.

"The structure was pretty bad and the house was
very plain and bare (before renovations)," he said. "We
wanted to make the house look more prestigious and I
think it is something that will help with us with
recruiting."

"It was like an institu-
tion and now it's more
a home."

rushees tip tables as

Gamma.Phii's

house gets new look

Vb/ B v A m v S m i t

Rushees were not the only ones getting a first look at
the remodeled Gamma Phi Beta sorority house.

Members saw the renovations for the first time
when they returned for rush week. The renovations
were done during the summer and were barely finished
for rush.

Gamma Phi alumna Susie Baxter, an interior designer
with Design Details, did the designs, Kelley Bennett,
junior in secondary education, said.

"She came to a chapter meeting and let us decide
between a couple samples, so we had a little bit of say in
the decision making and decorating," Bennett said.

Renovations were done on the first floor of the
house, on eight bedrooms and one upstairs bathroom.

"The dining room and living rooms look a lot
classier and the new wooden floor looks more formal,"
Tammy Hoobler, house president and senior in
agricultural business, said. "The gray and mauve was
depressing and drab. The new color scheme gave our
house new life."

Most members liked the changes, Melissa Clark,
junior in horticulture, said.

"It was okay before the renovations. Some of the
furniture looked old, but it really wasn't that bad," Bennett
said. "In contrast to the old, it looks a lot better now."

The renovations cost about $100,000, Baxter said.
Funding for the remodeling was mostly provided by
alumnae donations and the house corporation board.

By Amy Smith

"It was kind of nerve racking trying to get it done
before rush," Bennett said. "When we came up this
summer to get ready for rush, there was no finished
floor, just concrete. It was scary because we couldn't
visualize what it would look like done."

Furniture deliveries were also delayed,
some not arriving in time for rush.

A new glass-top table had been
purchased but only the base of the table
had been delivered by the first day of rush
activities, Bennett said. A glass top from
another table was used but was not secured
to the new table base.

Everyone was concerned with
keeping away from that table, afraid the
glass would be tipped over by a rushee,
Hoobler said.

"When you're going through rush, you're so nervous
you're going to do something wrong," Bennett said. "A
rushee would be so embarrassed when they'd lean on it
wrong and make the entire glass top flip up. All you
could hear was voices talking and all ot the sudden it
sounded like someone dropped bricks."

The renovations were worth the inconveniences,
Bennett said.

"It revitalized the enthusiasm and now everybody
wants to live in, including seniors wanting to get back
in," Hoobler said.

"The gray and mauve
was depressing and drab.
The new color scheme
gave our house new life."

closeness among members in

Theta

grows in ford annex

V/ Rv ^arah Kallpnhar

To find the Kappa Alpha Theta annex — go straight
up the elevator to the eighth floor.

For six members of the sorority, Ford Hall became
an extension ot the main house.

Jennifer Wolt, sophomore in secondary education,
decided she wanted to be a resident assistant instead of
moving into the house.

"I applied through the basic interview process (for
an RA) because they didn't think they would have
enough room (in the house) for all of the sophomore
class," Wolf said.

Only two members of the class did not get to move
into the house, but Wolf said her decision to stay in the
dorms was a relief to her and her family.

"It was going to be a big financial strain for my
parents," she said. "They are paying for my college. This
way I get my room and board."

The money Wolfs family saved was just one
advantage to the arrangement.

"It lets me remain close to the house," Wolf said.
"This way I get to live close to the new members of the
house."

Judy Bloch, freshman in engineering, said living on
the same floor as Wolf helped the new members.

"She tries to tell us things that are going on in the
house," Bloch said. "She tries to keep us informed."

Living with the new members made it easy for Wolf
to build strong relationships with them.

"We are closer than I am with the rest of the (pledge)

By Sarah Kallenbach

class," Wolf said. "I see a lot ot them because we live
together."

Closeness developed between Wolf and the new
members, but also among the new members.

"You get to know them really well," Bloch said.
"Sometimes there are different activities for pledges for
actives and it is nice to have the pledges here."

Jolynn Rycken, freshman in
secondary education, said the
advantages of having Wolf as their
RA were notjust tor them personally,
but also for the house.

"I think it is good for her because
she couldn't afford it. Being a resident
assistant she gets to know other people
in the residence halls," she said. "I
think that it would reflect good on
any house."

By living in Ford, Wolf could
tell others about sorority lite.

"Being an active member, it
(living in the residence hall) allows
me to really push the Greek life and
I get to see another perspective," she said.

Although Wolf did not regret her decision to be an
RA, she said she missed some things by not moving into
the house.

"I think I missed a lot," she said. "Living in a house
with 70 girls you are bound to become close."

"Being an active mem-
ber, it (living in the
residence hall) allows me
to really push greek life
and I get to see another
perspective."

Kappa Alpha Theta- i/7

LIVING

HOME

Nine sisters and a closer
bond — all in one annex.
Members of the Kappa
Kappa Gamma sorority's 1993 pledge
class got to know each other better
living together m the annex, which
the house had owned since 1980.

Usually seniors lived in the annex,
which was next door to the sorority
house, but during the tall semester
nine juniors were roommates.

"We designated one night a week
that we would all go out to eat dinner

annex

and do something together," Susie
Ross, junior in lite sciences, said.
"We were like our own little group."

Living in the annex cost the same
as living in the sorority house and it
helped members make the move
from living in the sorority house to
having their own place.

"Living in the annex was great
because before actually moving out
on their own, it was like a transition,"
Shawna Smith, junior in pre-
optometry, said. "They can still eat at
the house or they could cook on
their own."

Another advantage to living in
the annex was getting to know the
other eight roommates better than it
living in the house, Becky Hayden,
junior in hotel and restaurant
management, said.

"We were always sitting in the
kitchen and talking tor hours," Susie
Viterise, junior in special education,

by marl a sh e rrill

said. "We would rent movies together
and just veg out when we didn't
want to go out."

Atter living in the annex,
members decided they liked the
arrangement.

"We all decided that we want a
house like that when we grow up,"
Viterise said. "It is a two-story house
that has hardwood floors, a cute
kitchen and a dining room."

The annex had the same rules as
the house, but they were not as
monitored, Ross
said.

Rules, such as
quiet hours, were not strictly enforced
in the annex, Julie Schwieterman,
senior in dietetics, said.

"At the annex it we are all talking
nobody cares," she said.

To guarantee members would
not become detached from the
sorority house, they could only live
in the annex one semester.

"I think we only get to live in the
annex for one semester because they
don't want us away from the house,"
Hayden said. "They don't want us to
miss out on things happening over
there."

Although annex dwellers missed
out on living in the sorority house,
they found ways to have tun.

"We were all studying tor finals
and at one o'clock we got in a tood
fight with the leftovers in our
retngerator," Ross said. "We decided
we had to clean the house the next
day."

Lorie Gale, junior in hotel and restaurant management,
does her laundry in the basement of the annex. The nine
women lived in the annex, which was located next door
to the main house.

I aking her turn doing the dishes, Susie Ross, junior in
life sciences, cleans a cup. Although the residents of the
Kappa annex said they enjoyed being able to cook for
themselves, it also meant cleaning for themselves.

In the room she shared with Gale and other roommates,
Tara Bohn, junior in architectural engineering, spends
her time studying. The annex residents said they liked
the rooms' bigger closets and larger rooms.

Blowing a bubble, Mariah Tanner, junior in family
studies and human services, watches as Bohn does her
homework. Because of the small number of people in the
annex, residents said the house became more of a home
for them.

part-time student takes on

I i Kappa Sigs,

playing

Whether shopping at Wal-Mart or cheering on Kappa
Sigma fraternity members at sporting events, the
27-year-old enjoyed playing her motherly role.

In her first year at the Kappa Sig house, Dana Lynne
Hinshaw was the youngest housemother on campus.

"It's definitely not a job, it's a lifestyle," she said. "It
encompasses my whole life. When I'm out at Wal-Mart,
I am always thinking what I can get for the house. You
don't do that with a job."

A part-time accountant at Yanning and Associates
in Manhattan, Hinshaw was also enrolled in nine credit
hours. She said she planned to spend the next two years
at the house while she worked toward her master's
degree in family studies and human services.

Brian Dowling, freshman in business administration,
liked having a housemother who was attending college.

"She's in college now and she knows the college
experience," he said. "She can help us out because she
knows what is going on now."

Hinshaw said she loved her role at the house because
each day brought a new experience.

"Somebody may come in and want some ice for an
injury or another guy might come in at midnight to talk
to me about changing his major," she said. "My door is
always open."

It took some adjusting to become a housemother,
Hinshaw said.

"Every time I heard them call me 'Mom' it was so
weird," she said. "Now that I am so used to the role, it

of mom

is weird if I hear the name Dana."

Hinshaw was often found on the sidelines at sporting
events cheering lor the members.

"She was real good about going to our games,"
Brent Burklund, junior in
construction science management,
said. "She was always supportive."

Hinshaw also supported the
members' academic endeavors.

"She took college classes this
semester," Burkland said. "She
understood the stress we were under,
especially during finals."

Members often depended on
Hinshaw lor advice and counseling.

"Mostly she helped out the
younger people with problems with
girlfriends, grades and questions
about college," Burkland said.

Hinshaw also did the house's
meal planning and food budgeting.

"She actually plans the meals," Burklund said. "The
food has totally improved."

When she was not in class or doing something for
the house, Hinshaw studied.

"Sometimes when I'm studying I hear feet stomping
upstairs or a scream of anguish in the front hallway," she
said. "I just keep studying. It is routine for there to be
noise in the house."

"Every time I heard
them call me 4Mom' it
was so weird. Now that
I am so used to the
role, it is weird if I hear
the name Dana."

postponing celebration,

get ready for 75th

yJ U Rv Sa rah Gai

By Sarah Garner

"Its all about having a
brotherhood that goes
back 75 years. Pm able
to share that with a lot
of other guys."

Wes Hudelson

senior in secondary education

Their memories of brotherhood spanned 75 years.
The Kansas Gamma chapter of Phi Delta Theta
fraternity had memories of brotherhood that spanned 75
years.

Their 75th anniversary was Dec. 3 1 but the chapter
postponed their anniversary celebration and planned to
have it in fill 1996.

Evan Howe, fraternity and K-State alumnus, said

the chapter was considering an ongoing 75th, where not

all classes of alumni visited at once

but each class visited at separate

times.

Kevin Macfee, junior in
accounting, said the anniversary
celebration's postponement was due
to members not planning lar enough
ahead.

"Evan kind of thought if we're
going to do it we need to do it
right," he said. "We just didn't plan
enough. The person in charge of
making all the arrangements is going
to have a full-time job. It would
have taken a full year to plan it and
we didn't start soon enough."

Some members were unhappy about the
postponement of the anniversary celebration, Macfee
said.

"I'm disappointed but it was necessary," he said.
"The seniors would have liked to have seen it happen
while they were still here but I think they're all planning
on coming back for it."

Although the chapter had not yet celebrated the
event, the anniversary was meaningful to members,
Barton Vance, house president and senior in

management, said.

"Hopefully, this will instill the importance of our
traditions in the younger guys," he said. "It makes me
feel good to know we'll be leaving the house in good
hands and they'll keep the traditions going."

Wes Hudelson, alumni chairman and senior in
secondary education, said the anniversary reminded him
of Phi Delt's purpose.

"It's all about having a brotherhood that goes back
75 years," Hudelson said. "I'm able to share that with a
lot of other guys. We've all been through the same things
and have learned the same stuff. I've met guys who were
members a long time ago and we could talk for hours
because we shared this bond."

Hudelson's family had a Phi Delt tradition. He said
because of this family connection, he was more familiar
with how the fraternity had changed and developed over
the years.

"I'm the fifth person to live here in my family,"
Hudelson said. "From the stories I've heard, it's changed
a whole lot with hazing policies and everything."

Howe said the anniversary was significant to alumni
as well as to actives.

"I never got to be real close to any people in the
house a lot older or a lot younger than I am but we're
all part of the same thing and there's a sense of unity,"
Howe said. "We're all proud to be part of an entity
that has lasted so long and been maintained as the same
entity."

Vance said the anniversary made him proud to be a
member.

"It brings a sense of unity and pride in the fraternity,"
he said. "It's a tradition we're proud of at K-State and
we'd like to see it continue and move forward as it has
in the past 75 years."

alumni buy

Phi Tau's

house for renovations

By Sarah Garner

Phi Kappa Tau alumni took matters in their own hands.
The fraternity's basement was unusable due to water
damage from the 1993 floods and the national council,
which owned the house, would not help with repairs.

"I started thinking about it when I went to the
national convention in Washington , D . C .Jason was there
with pictures of the house, and I saw how badly the house
had gone downhill," Richard Schuetz, fraternity and K-
State alumnus, said.

Jason Sullivan, fraternity president and senior in
management, said the national council had financial
reasons for not helping the chapter.

Alpha Epsilon was a small chapter and there were
not enough members in the house for nationals to repair
the damage, he said.

It was difficult to attract new members with the
house in poor repair and consequently, the fraternity
faced declining membership, according to Schuetz. The
alumni group he formed after the summer convention
decided to purchase the house in March.

"We decided to buy the house so that we could have

more control and be more sensitive to the needs ot the
house," Scheutz said. "We want to get the house out of
the deplorable state of neglect it's in and bring it back to
being a first-class house."

Members were excited to get help from alumni, Jeff
Winchell, senior in elementary education, said.

"The alumni buying the house is probably the best
thing to happen to the house in a long time," Winchell said.

The Alpha Epsilon alumni became incorporated to
legally take control of the house's title and mortgage.

Sullivan said he hoped the alumni would be better
about meeting the house's needs than the national council.

"This will be good because the house will be locally
owned and we'll be able to get renovations easier," he said.

After buying the house, the Kansas-based corporation
planned to sell it and purchase or build a new house.

Winchell said he hoped the alumni interest would
increase membership.

"This will increase membership and alumni support,"
he said. "We haven't had alumni support since I've been
here and I think that will strengthen the house a lot."

philanthropy takes the

into the mud bowl

"It was one of those
learning experiences for
the first year."

John Benson
senior in social sciences

Wildlife in Tuttle Creek State Park stepped aside for
their own benefit.

The Phi Kappa Theta fraternity sponsored their first
mud volleyball tournament, Mud Bowl, Sept. 16 at
Tuttle Creek to raise money for Kansas
Wildscape.

Wildscape worked to preserve and
enhance the state's wildlife and the
outdoors, John Benson, fraternity
president and senior in social sciences,
said.

The Phi Kaps decided to change
philanthropies because ot a lack ot
interest.

"Our philanthropy for the last few
years had been a fun run," Brian Till, junior in architecture,
said. "The interest in it had been waning, so we started
planning the Mud Bowl."

Due to a postponement of the tournament in the
spring, some teams could not compete.

"Originally we were going to hold it last April, but
it got rained out and some of the original teams couldn't
come do it in the fall," Benson said.

The new philanthropy not only took time planning,
but also required members to work during the event.
The week before the tournament, members prepared

the courts for the games and while the games were being
played, the Phi Kaps did what was necessary to make the
event run smoothly.

"On the day of the tournament we were DJs,
referees and linesmen," Till said. "We all kept busy."

The tournament was divided into men's and women's
divisions and about 10-12 teams participated, Till said.

Wass and Co., an independent team, placed first in
the women's division and Alpha Delta Pi placed second.
In the men's division, Phi Gamma Delta placed first and
Sigma Phi Epsilon placed second.

After t-shirt sales, food and trophy costs, Mud Bowl
raised about $200 for Wildscape.

"We probably spent more money than we made,"
Benson said. "It was one of those learning experiences
for the first year."

Corey Black, junior in construction science and
management, said the tournament was successful, in
spite of a few problems and forgotten details.

"Anytime you try something new there are going to
be some things that you don't expect — little things like
trash bags for people to sit on in their cars," he said.

The important thing was that Mud Bowl was fun for
the participants and the fraternity, Black said.

"I thought it went really well," he said. "We had a
good turn out and people seemed to have a good time."

shortening the pledge program,

Pi Phis

By Chris Dean

lthough a single person had not depledged, the Pi
Beta Phi sorority had no pledges left by the end of the
fall semester.

Because of a decision by the national council, all Pi Phi
chapters shortened their pledge programs, Kara Rogers,
house president and senior in political science, said.

"We are going to a shorter pledge program, but right
now we are still in the experimental phases," she said.
Rogers said the shorter program
was an advantage tor the new
members.

"It is a benefit to the girls because
they can participate earlier," she said.
"We become a house as a whole taster."
Because this was the first year the
pledge program did not last an entire
semester, the chapter decided to
gradually shorten the program. Kam
Kohlmeier, junior in marketing, said
Jamie LOngrOVe t):c pr0gram was shortened to 15
junior in journalism and mass weeks and would eventually decrease

communications to 1() wecl<s.

"We've always [held initiation] at
the end ofthe semester," she said. "Nationalsjust felt that
this was something we needed to do."

Kohlmeier said although the change was tor the
better, it took time for the house to make the adjustments.

"I think it comes naturally when you do something
one way for so long and then change it. Of course people
are going to be a little unsure at first," she said. "The pros
are that we didn't lose one person to depledging this year. "

Other Pi Phis agreed the shortened program was
successful.

"We always finished betore Christmas break anyway,
so the only thing we had to let lapse was the time span
between the actual education and initiation," Nikki

"Our new initiates
proved that our ideals
and our respect as
sisters really came
through..."

Wunder, junior in finance, said.

Jamie Congrove, junior in journalism and mass
communications, said older members were unsure how
the shortened program worked.

"There was a lot ol mixed opinion because some
think that a semester (program) burns people out," she
said. "I didn't like it at first because when it was a
semester long, it made you feel like you earned the right
and responsibilities of being a Pi Phi."

Congrove said although she did not like it at first, the
new pledge program worked well.

"I was unsure how the shortened pledge program
would go over because it is so important to understand
the responsibilities of being a Pi Phi," she said. "Our
new initiates proved that our ideals and our respect as
sisters really came through in 15 weeks because they
upheld our ideals."

A shortened pledge program was not the only thing
nationals handed the chapter. Rogers, Kohlmeier and
Amy Wortman, senior in elementary education, picked
up three national awards tor the chapter at a week-long
national convention June 24-29 in Palm Springs, Calif.

Rogers said they won awards for being one of the
top Pi Phi chapters, having the best fraternity heritage
and one ofthe top chapters in the past 10 years.

The convention was rewarding for the individuals
who attended, Rogers said.

"It was veiy educational because it really shows the
direction greeks are going," she said. "It's good because
it makes you realize this isn't just something at K-State."

Kohlmeier said the convention was worthwhile and
educational.

"I wish people could see it," she said. "We worked
from 7:30 a.m. to 10:30 p.m. without breaks. It was a
very tiring week, but it was exciting and I wish everyone
in the house could go."

Pi Kaps

return to the scene

By Sarah Kallenbach & Maria Sherrill

None of the Pi Kappa Phi fraternity members could
remember the last time they participated in
Homecoming.

It had been 10 years.

"The most exciting part was just getting to do it,"
said Aaron Floersch, fraternity president and senior in
management, said. "We've tried to do it and finally we
got matched up last semester."

In the spring, Sigma Sigma Sigma, Delta Chi, Phi
Kappa Theta and the Pi Kapsjoined together to participate
in Homecoming.

Because of the long break from the event, members
of the fraternity were ready to work. Aaron Green,
senior in horticulture, participated in Homecoming
festivities for the first time.

"Homecoming gave us some great exposure and
helped morale," Green said. "Everyone always gets
down this time of year, but everyone was in a great mood
and was willing to help out."

But, the mood changed when their float was
disqualified because it was not on campus or at a greek
house for the judging.

The group was also disqualified from the banner
competition.

"Rumor was that we got disqualified because Willie
the Wildcat was holding a tomahawk," Floersch said.
"The judges thought that was politically incorrect."

The disqualification of the float and the banner did
not take away from the experience, Green said.

"It didn't matter because it was all for fun," he said.

Homecoming events helped get the Pi Kap name
out on campus.

"We had a lot of comments about our jackets and
other houses expressed their sympathy about the banner
and the float," C.W. Harper, sophomore in mechanical
engineering, said.

Fun mixed with hard work in preparation for the
body building competition, Green said. The group
didn't place in any Homecoming events, members
ended the week with positive attitudes.

"Everyone was freezing at Pant the Chant, but all the
spirit they showed was great," Scott Kelly, freshman in
kinesiology, said. "It was so cold and everyone showed
up."

flush bowl ends with

taking home the toilet

^^^ Ru U a i r h o r Unllinrttuinrfl-

"It's pretty hard to
start up a tradition like
the way it was back
then."

Brad Anderson
senior in industrial engineering

After a one-year time out, Sigma Alpha Epsilon and Phi
Delta Theta resumed their football battle over a
porcelain toilet.

The 48th annual Flush Bowl competition between
the SAEs and the Phi Delts included a kick-off party,
football game, date party, all-university party and the
crowning ot a Flush Bowl queen.

The fraternities did not have
Flush Bowl in 1994 because they
had difficulty finding a place that
would comply with Interfraternity
Council regulations, Brad Anderson,
senior in industrial engineering, said.
"Everybody I know that was
out there really enjoyed it," Matt
Krull, sophomore in business
administration, said. "It will keep
going."

Before resuming Flush Bowl,
members talked with alumni about
how the event used to rival
Homecoming in popularity, Anderson said.

"They were pretty excited to hear we were

continuing it (Flush Bowl)," Anderson said. "It's pretty

hard to start up a tradition like the way it was back then."

Although the Oct. 13 game ended in a tie, the SAEs

took home the trophy — a mounted porcelain toilet.

"We were pretty excited to hold onto the throne,"

By Heather Hollingsworth

Anderson said. "We displayed it in the living room lor
about a week, but our housemom didn't like it so we put
it in storage."

The event began on Thursday when the fraternities
asked sororities for queen nominees. There was also a
kick-oft party at the SAE house.

Friday night there was a date party at the Phi Delt
house and the flag football game was Saturday at Blackj ack
Hills Recreation Area.

Flush Bowl players could not have played tor the K-
State football team or their house intramural teams.

"I don't think they wanted it to be that organized,"
Krull said. "They didn't want it to be the Phi Delt
intramural team against the SAE intramural team."

The game quickly became rough, he said.

"It was a pretty unorganized, wild game," Krull said.
"It started on the first play, a two-hand touch, and the
rest of the game was tackle."

The Flush Bowl queen, Sarah Dickason, sophomore
in family studies and human services, was awarded a
plunger during halftime. She was chosen based on her
response to a series of questions and the crowd's response.

"It just comes down to whoever comes up with the
most clever line," Lance Huggins, sophomore in food
sciences, said.

Flush Bowl helped the SAEs and Phi Delts, who
were Homecoming partners, get to know each other
before Homecoming, Krull said.

remembering founders

S i g m a j Kappa

cements memories

By Sarah Garner

"I figured if my chil-
dren ever came, they
would see my name. It's
going to be there for-
ever."

Sarah Poe

senior in elementary education

The five original founders of Sigma Kappa sorority
were engraved in Theta Tau chapter history.
During the summer, a brick sidewalk engraved with
the national and chapter founders'
names and the founding date was
constructed between the two sidewalks
leading to the tront door of the Sigma
Kappa house.

Originally, the Founders' Walk
was started to recognize the chapter's
1990 Alpha pledge class. However,
the house wasn't finished by the time
more classes were pledged, so the
housing corporation decided to include
more recent pledge classes in the
project, Sarah Poe, senior in elementary
education, said.

"This was planned from the
beginning by the national council to show who
founded the house," Karen Looney, Theta Tau
founding member and K-State alumna, said. "It wasn't
easy those first few years and this walk means a lot
more to my pledge class than it probably does to those
after us."

The chapter was the only one with a walk of this
kind, Amy Neises, senior in apparel and textile marketing,
said.

Members who pledged before spring 1994 had the
opportunity to buy a brick. The individually purchased
bricks were engraved with the purchaser's name and
became a part of the walk, Neises said.

Of approximately 125 chapter founders, 42 purchased
bricks in the walk and 50 newer pledges also bought
bricks. Each brick cost $50.

"That just went to pay for the bricks to be engraved
and for the walk to be put in," Melissa Darger, sophomore
in social sciences, said. "That's why they cost that
much."

The walk, which cost $4,400, was built to preserve
the sorority's history.

"It'sjust to remind us that we're the ones who made
Sigma Kappa what it is at K-State," Darger said. "It will
be exciting because when I come back in 30 years I'll see
my name."

Poe said she bought a brick in the walk to show she
had a part in the beginning of the chapter.

"I figured if my children ever came back, they would
see my name," she said. "It's going to be there forever."

The walk was meaningful to the chapter's first
members, Looney said.

"The walk means a great deal to the founders of the
chapter. We fought hard to have it put in," she said. "To
have it in stone that we're at K-State and we're here to
stay is very important to us."

Sigma Lambda Gamma

, land Sigma Lamb d. a Beta

tafe one

By Heather

Members of the Sigma Lambda Gamma sorority and the
Sigma Lambda Beta fraternity focused on the future.
"The focus is off trying to legitimize the sorority,"
Debra Bratina, Sigma Lambda Gamma president and senior
in education, said. "We are trying to establish ourselves as
an organization that is here to stay."

Sigma Lambda Gamma received their charter in fall
1994 and Sigma Lambda Beta received their charter in
spring 1995. The move from earning their charters to
building strong foundations was challenging for the Hispanic
organizations.

"When we were (establishing the
chapter) we were real busy," Santos
Jose Ramirez, Sigma Lambda Beta
president and junior in political
science, said. "It kept us busy and
now it's like we've got that all done
and we're focusing on what we can
do next."

The members of Sigma Lambda
Beta said they looked forward to
becoming a part of their chapter's
history.

"It was a lot of hard work,"
Ramirez said, "and I am excited because I know that we
will be in our history here at K-State forever."

He said the fraternity hoped to start a Hispanic scholarship
fund and increase their numbers.

"Our traditions are more focused on community services
and trying to help out Hispanics on campus and offer a
support group," Ramirez said.

Making traditions for the sorority was an enormous
responsibility, Bemtajackson, freshman in pre-health, said.
"Most other sororities have it in stone how their
pledges go through the process," she said.

Focusing on the future meant involvement in

"It's an educational
experience for everyone
involved. By interacting
with students, we break
down stereotypes."

Panhellenic Council and the Interfraternity council.

"Now we are a part of the greek scene but we are still
very new and learning," Bratina said. "If you want to
make a difference, this is where to do it."

Sigma Lambda Gamma joined Panhellenic Council
in fall 1995 but the newness of the sorority and small
numbers, 1 1 members, made participating in traditional
greek events challenging.

The Sigma Lambda Gammas were paired with their
brother fraternity, Sigma Lambda Beta, for Homecoming
activities. Because the combined group was only about
40 people, they were unable to participate in traditional
greek Homecoming activities.

"We wanted to become involved in Homecoming
but it's hard because of numbers," Jeannette Torres,
junior in modern languages, said. "It takes a lot of
planning ahead of time."

The group placed emphasis on completing
smaller projects and building on those successes, Bratina
said.

"We have to complete the projects we take on.
If we don't, it sends out the message we aren't reliable,"
she said. "We have to take baby steps. Eventually, the big
projects will come our ■way."

Small numbers also caused problems for members of
Sigma Lambda Beta, who had not yet joined the
Interfraternity Council.

"It's hard for us to do stuff with the other fraternities
because they're so big and we're so small," Ramirez said.
"We're still going (to IFC meetings) on a trial basis to see
what benefits they can give us or we can give to them."

Both groups placed emphasis on helping Hispanic
students succeed.

"It's an educational experience for everyone
involved," Bratina said. "By interacting with other
students, we break down stereotypes."

pledge against pledge

By J.J. K u n t z

Head-to-head competition gave greek organizations a
chance to show off their pledges.

Sigma Nu and Chi Omega's Pledge Games Sept. 24
was an outdoor competition for new fraternity and
sorority members.

"It was basically like a track meet, " Tyson Needham,
Sigma Nu philanthropy chairman and junior in business
administration, said. "There was a 100-meter dash, 400-
meter relay, softball toss, javelin throw andtug-of-war."

To create opportunities to involve each participant,
planning lor Pledge Games began in the spring, Brent
Johnson, house president and senior in architectural
engineering, said.

"There are a few things that changed this year,"
Needham said. "We shortened up the games. In the past
we wouldn't get finished until five or six. This year we
cut out the final events and finished by early afternoon."

During August, members sent entry forms to houses,
collected money and took t-shirt orders.

"The Chi Os helped with the t-shirt design, sponsors
and the actual running of the event," Johnson said.

Most ot the money was made through t-shirt sales,
Needham said.

"We took in over $ 1 1 ,000 and donated approximately
$5,600 to the area Red Cross after expenses were taken
out," he said.

Each house paid a $75 entry fee to participate in
Pledge Games. It was the largest money-making
philanthropy on campus, but it did not raise as much

»tpj

money as it had in the past, Needham said.

"I think too many things added to us not making as
much money this year," he said. "It was a little bit less than
what we made last year because we didn't sell as many
shirts and we used more money to purchase prizes."

Participants collected points when
they won an event and the houses that
finished with the most points won prizes.

Alpha Chi Omega and Tau Kappa
Epsilon won Pledge Games.

One event required participants to
compete with the money in their pockets
instead of in a physical activity.

"We hold a Mr. and Miss Pledge
Games pageant," Needham said. "The
pageant is an added money-maker that
has become really big in the sororities
and has created some stiff competition."

Each house nominated a candidate
from their pledge class and students voted for their favorite
candidate by putting money in cups placed in the K-State
Student Union. The male and female candidates who
collected the most money won the titles.

Needham said every house participated in Pledge
Games.

"I thought the games were well-run and I had a great
time," Gavin Vaughn, freshman in biology, said. "The best
part was that there were so many people there and it was a
great way to meet them through healthy competition."

I'd say that it was
some fairly healthy
competition and you
didn't have to he good
to have fun."

resuming tradition, the

Sig Ep's

zappadeli returns

XX ByAmySmit

By Amy Smith

It was the return of the Zappa Deli.
Sigma Phi Epsilon fraternity members resumed years
of tradition when they rebuilt their late-night hang out.

The Zappa Deli tradition began in 1985.

"A couple of guys a few years ago lived downstairs,"
Kevin Murdock, junior in park resources management,
said. "They used to come home from the bars, sit
downstairs and make sandwiches, listen to Frank Zappa
and sell the sandwiches to people late at night coming
home trom the bars."

The room was called the Zappa Deli from then on,
Murdock said.

The Zappa grew in popularity and was moved into
the previous Sig Ep chapter room in 1986, he said.

"It had turned into an after-hours place where Sig
Eps would bring their friends over to drink after the bars
closed at two," Dan Brooks, senior in education, said.
"Nationals didn't want Sig Ep to have that image so they
tore the Zappa room down."

The room was closed in 1992 and rebuilt during
summer 1995, Brooks said.

The new Zappa Deli was a recreational room with
an electronic dart board, pool table, stereo, a counter and
two couches, Murdock said. Sometimes the room was
used for parties where, behind the counter, troughs for
beer taps were set up.

"The first Zappa room looked like a night club
because it was so dark. It was only lit with bar lights,"
Brooks said. "It's a totally different atmosphere now. It's
lit with fluorescent lights now, but I think in time the
atmosphere will be more like it used to be."

The renovations, financed by parents, were done by
Sig Ep members, Murdock said.

"Money from our Dad's Weekend auction goes to
our Mom's Club. Whatever the money goes towards for

our house is decided by the Mom's Club," he said.
"They asked us what we wanted and we voted on the
electronic dart board and the pool table."

Although members did not know the originators of
the Zappa, the traditions used to be taught to new
members.

"As a pledge I remember having to read a small essay
on the Zappa that was in the pledge
book," Brooks said.

An entire wall of the Zappa Deli
was saved for members to sign on the
reopening night in September.

"It was something we did to
remember the first party in the new
room, kind of like a christening,"
Murdock said. "All members who
attended the party signed the wall."

Members also had a mural of
Zappa that covered an entire wall of
the renovated room, Murdock said.

"At the Frank Zappa Returns party
a member dressed like Frank Zappa and showed up in
a limo with body guards," Tucker Pierce, senior in
education, said. "Also, we all dressed in 70s clothes
and signed the wall."

Members saw the Zappa as more than a party room,
Pierce said.

"I think it's helped the house a lot because it gives us
a place to go instead of being in the individual rooms or
going to Aggieville," he said. "Especially for us out-of-
house guys, it gives us a place to see the in-house guys."

The Sig Eps were not worried about the Zappa Deli
being torn down again.

"It will last forever if we take care of it because the
house is proud of it," Pierce said.

Returns party a member

policy changes give

Tr i -S i gs

a reason to party

X Bv I I^Aii

By J.jVKuntz

A change in policy made parties safer and more fun for
the Sigma Sigma Sigma sorority.

During fall 1994, discussion began about changing
the sorority's national alcohol policy that prohibited
consumption of alcohol at functions, Becki Blankenship,
house president and junior in education, said.

"We didn't think it (allowing drinking at functions)
was going to happen but when it did, we were very
excited," she said. "We have a lot of high rules to follow
now but I think they felt we were responsible enough."

The Delta Phi chapter received information from
another chapter looking for interest in changing the
national dry-house policy, Cindy Moen, junior in
elementary education, said.

"A Tri Sigma sorority in Louisiana sent out letters
about the problems with pre-partying and the need for
designated drivers," Megan Morehead, junior in
elementary education, said. "They recognized the need
to move with the times."

The dry-house policy was instated tor all Tri Sigma
chapters during the '80s, Morehead said.

"I think it was established for reasons ot liability,"
she said. "There were also hopes to lower the risks
associated with alcohol."

The new alcohol policy, permitting consumption at
functions, was passed in June during the Tri Sigma
national convention.

" I think we were the only ones that were a dry house
and had allowed no drinking at parties," Moen said.

"Changing our policy has made us more equal to the
other houses."

The new policy required each chapter to submit an
outline of all planned social events to the national
headquarters, one month in advance. The policy change
also required extra precautions to be taken.

"It will cost us more money and getting police and
designated drivers for the functions may
be a pain," Morehead said. "It's better
than not doing anything about the
problem at all."

The first party affected by the policy
was in the spring semester, Moen said.

"I think it will be ultimately better,
eliminating the pre-partying and making
us less liable," Morehead said. "There
was some pre-partying that went on and
now I don't think as much of it will. Our
parties will also be a lot safer since people
will not be tempted with driving."

Members oflegal drinking age could
stay at parties and drink without leaving tor alcohol,
Morehead said. Because of the new policy, more members
would stay longer at parties.

"I think sororities and fraternities are associated with
alcohol, so there is always some drinking that goes on
through pre-partying," Morehead said. "Now that we
are allowed to have alcohol, I think we will become
more responsible about it."

"We have a lot of
high rules to follow now
but I think they felt we
were responsible
enough."

coaching powder puff,

TREs lead , pp 1 1

women to puff bowl

Uniting for the first time in an old tradition, 1 1
sororities participated in a knock-down, drag-out
race to the Puff Bowl.

This was the first year all 1 1 sororities were involved
in the Tau Kappa Epsilon Powder Pufr Tournament,
Justin Mitchell, house president and junior in chemical
engineering, said.

"In the past, some sororities had not been involved
for different reasons but this year we had 100 percent
participation," Mitchell said.

Preston Barton, junior in accounting, said the
increased involvement was because fraternity members
were more excited than in previous years.

"I think this year we were just more enthusiastic
about advertising it and it has paid off," he said. "We've
just been trying harder to get everyone involved. When
someone is missing, it is just not as run."

Towards the end ol the spring semester, TKE
members visited all the sororities, recruiting teams for
the powder puff program.

"We went around to all the houses earlier than usual
and we gave them each a book about all the teams from
the year before and they signed up within their house to
become involved," Kurt McGuffin, senior in secondary
education, said.

After the sororities organized teams, TKE members
divided into groups of three or four to coach the different

By Chris Dean

teams. Remaining members officiated the games, which
took place at Griffith Park the first eight weeks of the fall
semester.

"I think sororities like doing it because it lasts for
eight weeks and is not just a weekend
thing," McGuffin said. "We're very
fortunate that sororities take time to
donate their money and time to our
philanthropy."

The tournament, which had been
a tradition as long as the TKEs could
remember, raised about $2,000 for their
philanthropy, the Special Olympics.

Barton said he was also impressed
with the way the women played.

"The thing that is really impressive
is how competitive the girls are,"
Barton, Pi Beta Phi coach, said.
"Because they don't really have a
football background, it takes a while
for them to learn at the start but they
really get into it."

At the end of the season, the Gamma Phi Beta team
beat the Sigma Kappa team for first place in the final
game, the Puff Bowl.

"Ever since powder puff started it has been
something everyone has supported," Barton said. "It's
something we take pride in and get excited about."

tangled and twisted

Vy By Sarah Kallenbacf

Tangled arms and legs helped the Theta Xi fraternity-
raise money for Habitat tor Humanity and keep
Manhattan High School students from drinking on
graduation night.

"Manhattan High contacted me about playing Twister
at their graduation party," Toby Rush, junior in
mechanical engineering, said.

For their party graduation night, the graduates went
to Ahearn Field House where the Theta Xis had set up
the Twister game.

"We played twister with the graduates to keep them
from drinking," Rush said. "I didn't know how much
they would get into it, but it was fun."

The fun began three years ago when the fraternity
decided to try a new philanthropy — Twistermania.

"We wanted to do something new and different,"
Chris Hansen, fraternity president and junior in nuclear
engineering, said. "The philanthropy market is a saturated
one."

Twistermania, an all-greek philanthropy, was annually

scheduled for spring. The Theta Xi's portion of the
proceeds benefited Habitat for Humanity and the rest of
the money went to the sorority which
co-sponsored the event.

"We tape 50 mats together and make
a huge square," Chad Long, junior in
pre-medicine, said. "We have a dial and
just get as many people out there as
possible."

Rush said the fraternity added to the
event every year.

"There was always room to improve
— always needing more participation
and providing enough entertainment
for those who get out," he said.

Long said Twistermania was one
way for the fraternity to become involved
in the community and have a good time.

"We want to raise a lot of money and raise awareness
about our philanthropy and have lots of fun," Long said.

"We want to raise a

increasing morale and support,

T r i a,n g I e

fights to keep house

\J By J.J. Kuntz &jHeather Hollingsworth

Despite pressures of small numbers and economic
strains, members fought to rebuild Triangle fraternity.

"Things happened this year, morale is up and we've
had three parties we thought were really good," Zac
Bailey, senior in biological and agricultural engineering,
said. "We got everyone involved this year and excited
about doing things together as a house."

Alumni and members came up with a number of
men they hoped to have living in house next fall, Jeff
Geist, senior in geology, said.

"We need to have 20 guys in the house next fill to
pay the bills," Bailey said. "If we can meet them (goals),
it's a good indication we will be able to do things we
need to be successful."

Triangle's financial burdens hurt them because they
did not have many members living in the house, Geist
said.

New leadership helped increase involvement and
excitement among Triangle members.

"When my pledge brothers and I came in, we said we
wanted to make some changes," Tim Danner, rush

chairman and junior in architectural engineering, said.
"We are trying to get ourselves to a better status."

Fraternity members thought they would have enough
live-in members in the future but attaining their goals
meant attracting pledges, Bailey said.
He said members knew what needed to
be done to keep the fraternity alive.

"We would like to see 25 to 30 guys
in the house, be more active in
intramurals and events on campus," he
said.

Although they hoped to recruit
members interested in becoming
involved and living in the house, the
physical house was not as important to
the members as staying together.

"The house is just an object and the chapter will
exist," Danner, said. "It (losing the house) would give us
a chance to regather ourselves and regroup, to kind of
have a fresh start and come back in a couple of years
stronger than ever."

"The house is just an
object and the chapter
exist."

celebrating winter holidays,

parties with santa

X By Chris Dear

college

"Having Santa at a
dorm party was
kind of goofy, but a lot
of people liked it."

Jared Bohndorf
junior in technology management

They may have been too big to sit on Santa's lap but
that did not stop residents of K-State Salina's residence
hall from getting their pictures taken with him.

The Salina residence hall had a
Christmas party for its residents Dec.
10. Roger Steinbrock, admissions
representative at K-State Salina, dressed
as Santa Claus and made an appearance
at the party.

"Having Santa at a college dorm
party was kind ol goofy but a lot of
people liked it," Jared Bohndorf, junior
in technology management, said.

Santa's visit was not the only surprise

residents received at the Christmas party.

"After Thanksgiving break we sent letters to all the

residents' parents and asked them to send us a $5 gift for

their child," Jake Greenup, director of student life at K-

State Salina, said.

Greenup said all but 15 to 20 parents sent in gifts. The
students without gifts from their parents were given a
small K-State jar filled with candy.

Students appreciated that the presents were from
their families.

"It was good to have the parents send in presents
because kids didn't just get something dorky but actually
something they might have wanted," Toby Ceselski,
junior in computer science technology, said.

After opening gifts, the residents sang carols.

"The caroling was really unique because it's hard to
get 90 people to sing Christmas carols," Sharon Niehues,
sophomore in computer and information sciences, said.

Greenup estimated that of the 90 people in the hall
about 65 attended the party.

"There was a pretty big turnout because they said
everyone would get something and they had free food,"
Bohndorf said.

Ian Sammis, junior in mechanical engineering
technology, said he enjoyed the party because he had not
expected the gifts.

"They didn't tell anyone about the gifts. They just
put up posters announcing there was going to be free
food at a Christmas party," he said. "I had no idea about
the presents so it was a neat surprise."

AFTER

GONE

They decorated with what most
people would consider trash.
Empty beer bottles and
Party Balls did not always go into the
trash can. They were sometimes used
as apartment decorations.

Chris Bloom, junior in
construction science and
management, said he and his
roommates started taking beer bottles
home from bars and turned them
into permanent fixtures.

"We've just got a great place for

the stuff," he said. "We put our beer
bottles on a shelf and we also have a
Party Ball made into a swag lamp
downstairs."

Rob Cox, sophomore in hotel
and restaurant management, said he
and his three roommates began
bringing bottles home with the idea
of creating a collection.

"We thought it would be neat to
have a bottle of everything," Cox
said. "We're still working on that."

Lonnie Johnston, Dean's Liquor
employee and senior in accounting,
said he and his roommates began
collecting different beer bottles
without an objective.

"We have eight shelves built
into the wall where we put the
bottles," he said. "We've been
collecting since August and our goal
has become to 2,et a certain number
of beers from each country."

Johnston estimated he and his

night

by sarah garner

roommates had collected 90 bottles.

"The cost would average out to
be probably about a dollar a bottle,
so I'd say there's well over a hundred
dollars m the collection," Johnston
said. "The most expensive bottle
was six dollars."

Bruce Kinney, Cox's roommate
and sophomore in business
administration, said they had about
30 hard liquor and beer bottles
combined.

Johnston said he and his
roommates only
collected beer
p a r a p h e r n a 1 1 a
because there were so many different
beer brands.

"I have a great big St. Pauli girl
standing in my living room," he
said. "We have a lot of displays and
posters and two neon signs. We
don't keep Party Balls but we do
have a wall of five empty kegs. We
keep them so we don't have to leave
a deposit when we go to get kegs."

The alcohol bottles were
conversation starters, Bloom said.

"Most people look at all the
bottles when they come over," he
said. "When they see a unique brand
they've never heard of, they_want to
know where they can get it."

Empty alcohol bottles were inter-
esting items to collect, Johnston said.

"I think it's a neat thing to do
while you're in college," he said. "I
don't know what I'll do with the
collection when I leave. Somebody
will definitely have to inherit it."

Lonnie Johnston, senior in accounting, sits in front of
his beer bottle collection. Johnston and his roommates
tried to collect a certain number of bottles from each
country. They kept their collection in a set of built-
in book shelves.

Johnston, an employee of Dean's Liquor, had several
posters and alcohol displays such as the cut-out of the
St. Pauli girl. He also owned neon beer signs and a wall
of empty kegs.

off-campus students discovered

■advantages toi

Man tag e s toi , |
g with parents

Vy m> By Sarah Garne

Part of going to college was living with Mom and
Dad, at least for some students.

Remaining under their parents' roof while attending
college could be advantageous.

"I decided to live at home," Mandy Springer,
freshman in kinesiology, said. "I thought it was stupid to
pay to live in the dorms and belong to the (sorority)
house when I lived in Manhattan already."

Tammy Linenberger, junior in pre-occupational
therapy, discovered living at home had advantages.

"I'm from Manhattan, so it's just more convenient.
I'm applying to occupational therapy school in the fall,
too," she said. "I might be living in another state soon,
so I'll need the money I have saved."

Linenberger said she planned to live in her sorority
spring semester to get a taste of living away from home.

"I like living at home, but I feel like I'm ready to
move out on my own," she said. "I'm ready to try
things on my own and I need to do it before I move to
another state and I'm totally on my own."

Eric Beikmann, freshman in secondary education,
said his parents suggested he live at home his first year
of college or they would not provide as much financial
support. Living at home helped him adapt to college.

"For the first year, living at home helped me to
adjust," Beikmann said. "It was easier to adjust to
college because I didn't have to face all the changes at
once."

Beikmann said it was more difficult to concentrate
when studying at home.

"It's harder to study because there are so many
distractions," he said. "It's not as easy to just leave and
go to the library or someplace else."

For Linenberger, studying at home was convenient
because people did not bother her and break her
concentration.

"It's nice because it's quiet when I want to study,"
she said. "It's also private because I have my own
room."

By Sarah Garner

Beikmann, who planned to live in a fraternity house
in fall 1996, said living at home had social drawbacks.

"Overall it's fun, but I don't get to interact with a lot
ol people like I would in a dorm or a fraternity because
I don't live with a lot of people," he said.

Springer said she sometimes found living away from
campus inconvenient . She planned to live in her sorority
in fall 1996.

"It's hard not living close to campus and trying to
find a parking spot and if I want to see
my friends I have to drive to the dorms
on campus," she said. "Sometimes I
think it would be nice if we had the
money for me to live in the dorms, but
even if we did, I don't know if I would
because I don't think I could live like
that."

Although they lived at home with
their parents, Springer and Linenberger
said their mothers did not always do
their laundry or cook for them.

" I do my own laundry ," Linenberger
said. "My mom doesn't cook very often.
She'll cook supper when we're there,
but we usually make our own lunch."

She said her parents were usually
understanding about her social life but
she still had to follow some rules.

"If a lot of my friends are going out on a Thursday
night, I really can't," she said. "My parents have guidelines
I have to follow."

Springer did not have the same problems with her
parents.

"My parents are real lenient," she said. "I don't have
a curfew and all my friends like to come out here to visit.
I can stay at people's houses on weekends and my parents
don't care. They don't care if people stay here either. I
have the same freedom as in an apartment or a dorm, I
just don't pay the money."

"For the first year,
living at home helped
me to adjust. It was
easier to adjust to
college because I didn't
have to face all the
changes at once."

need for education forces

to| commuter Si 1 | I |

brave the highway

By Maria Sherrill ^^Linda H a r v e yt/

*0%0?T-

#C £1 ri s

State

U n iversW
exit 3 03

Inside her car, the radio was tuned to National Public
Radio for a daily news update.
"It is my only chance to get the news," Patrice
Lewerenz, Salina resident and senior in geology, said. "I
was able to start my day with some idea ot life on the
outside."

To receive an education commuters made the daily

drive to Manhattan.

"The gas is very
expensive," Wanda
Gattshall, Ahilene
resident and senior in
life sciences, said. "It
cost me about $100 a
month at least."

To help make
commuting more
affordable, Lewerenz
car pooled each
semester.

"I have a fairly fuel-
efficient car," she said.
"Alternating times that
I drove also helped to
mitigate the cost."

Adult Student

Services helped find

commuters car-pooling partners. Nancy Bolsen, director

of Adult Student Services, said during the tall semester

their office found 14 students commuting partners.

"If they are in the same class it makes the ride
beneficial," Lewerenz said. "We would read to each
other or discuss the class."

Although she had not calculated her hours spent on
the highway, Lewerenz said she would probably be
amazed at the time she lost to commuting.

"It is hundreds of hours," she said. "Just for the

winter intercession I spent 20 hours on the highway."

The furthest distances students traveled were from

jtudents from as far away as Hugoton, 314 miles
away from Manhattan, commuted back and forth
from K-State on a daily basis. (Photo Illustration
by Darren Whitley)

Hugoton, 314 miles away from Manhattan, and Scott City,
261 miles away, Bolsen said.

Because they could not quickly run home if they forgot
something for a class, students who commuted had to be
organized.

"I have only left a report at home once," Thomas said.
"It wasn't a problem because I faxed the paper to the
professor."

Some problems were out of commuters' control.

"The weather can be a real pain," Lewerenz said. "It
took me one hour just to get to the interstate to drive to
Salma. There were a few people in the ditch."

Gattshall said car trouble was more hindering than the
weather.

"I had to come home in between classes so my husband
could work on my car," she said. "I didn't miss any classes
but it was an inconvenience."

Commuters faced daily hassles and inconveniences
other students were unaware of.

"I don't think people understand the stress o£
commuting," Gattshall said. "I have to make sacrifices to
get an education."

One mile from Abilene, Lewerenz's car broke down
while she was on her way home from an evening test.

"It was dark, rainy and cold," she said. "I walked to the
exit where there is a Dairy Queen and called my husband."

Students who commuted had to forfeit sleep and time
spent with their families. Alice Thomas, Abilene resident
and senior in family studies and human services, said she
chose to commute instead ot move to Manhattan because
Abilene's cost ot living was lower.

"It (commuting) takes a couple extra hours out ot my
day — up by 5 a.m. and to bed between 1 ( ) and midnight,"
she said.

Thomas said her only choice was to commute not only
to receive an education but also to become a role model to
family members.

"I like to think I'm an inspiration to my grandchildren
— that their grandmother is going back to school, "she said.

ourmet meals

Tequila lime chicken was usually only served in fine
restaurants but one student prepared it in his own
kitchen.

"My favorite concoction that I have come up with
is tequila lime chicken," Jordan Kidd, senior in
construction science and management, said. "I just add
a splash of tequila, a bit of lemon juice and a splash of
Tabasco sauce."

Off-campus students took time to cook the meals
they enjoyed.

"My favorite dish is chicken with white wine sauce
on curried rice," Chris Richmond, graduate student in
music, said. "It takes about an hour to prepare."

Student cooks shared their gourmet dishes with
others.

"The past Christmas I cooked a pot ol chicken
frittata for a party," Richmond said. "My girlfriend
always says 'So what are you going to cook for me?'

Kidd and Jill Conrad, sophomore in elementary
education, said they liked to spend time cooking with
their roommates.

"More often we cooked for ourselves," Conrad
said. "When our schedules allowed it we cooked together
and it was a lot of fun."

Student cooks prepared meals in different ways.
Some students experimented with ingredients to satisfy
their own taste buds.

"I usually cook through trial and error," Kidd said.
"It is fun to experiment and trade advice on spices with
my roommates."

Conrad said she cooked with her mom at home,
which helped her learn to prepare meals on her own.

By Maria Sherrill

"My favorite is an enchilada dish," she said. "I got
that recipe from my mom but most of the time I just try
to wing it without recipes."

Trial and error cooking was not the right process for
everyone. Recipes were more dependable and did not
require as much cooking knowledge.

"It is easy to cook with recipes,"
Richmond said. "I just pick a
cookbook and read the ingredients. "

The internet was one source
that provided him with recipes.

"I tound a whole mess ot
cooking sites on the internet,"
Richmond said. "I found pasta with
shrimp and artichokes last week that
I am going to cook tonight."

Leftovers provided student
cooks with an easy way to save time and money.

"I make homemade macaroni and cheese and other
casseroles that are good to eat as leftovers," Conrad said.
"I just freeze them and heat them up for another meal."

She said it was less expensive to cook a meal than to
eat at a restaurant.

"When I splurge and go out to eat, I think of all the
groceries I could have bought," she said. "I'm not quite
sure how much I save, but I know it (cooking) is
cheaper."

Kidd said he chose to cook his meals because it was
healthier than eating fast food.

"I spent about $30 a week on groceries," he said.
"Personally, I think it is better to eat right than to pinch
pennies."

"When I splurge and go
out to eat, I think of all
the groceries I could have
bought."

Students who furnished their apartments and residence
hall rooms with items from the dining centers cost the
Department of Housing and Dining Services thousands
of dollars.

"We don't really have any hard and last figures on
theft but I think we can get a fairly good estimate based
on how much we break and how much more we
replace," Mark Edwards, Derby Food Center unit
director, said.

Replacing silverware and china cost between $ 1 2,000
and $14,000 in 1995, John Pence, director of dining
services, said.

"I would hope the majority is accounted for by
breakage but it is really hard to say," he said.

First-time apartment residents frequently dined on
stolen tableware from the dining centers.

"We have a complete kitchen utensil set (from the
dining center) — plates, bowls, spoons — everything
short of the trays," Jeremy Smith, first year apartment
resident and junior in electrical engineering, said. "Last
year we were trying to decide how we would come up
with all the stuff needed to live in an apartment. We saw
a valuable commodity at our fingertips and lo' and
behold we came up with some silverware."

The theft and breakage added up. In 1995, Housing
and Dining Services replaced about 1,200 dinner plates,
1 ,200 soup bowls and 3,000 pieces of silverware, Edwards
said.

To replace a table setting — dinner plate, vegetable
dish, cereal bowl, coffee cup, tea saucer, dessert plate and
silverware — cost about $20, Edwards said.

Pence said he had encountered stolen dining center
goods outside the residence hall setting.

"I can tell you I have seen our dinnerware out at
students' apartments. I have seen it for sale at garage sales
and I have gone to garage sales and seen it there and I
have told them that I am going to take it because it
doesn't belong to them," Pence said. "I guess what I
can't imagine is why would anyone want to eat off of it?
I mean it's heavy commercial china."

Students short on cash were not bothered by dining
on the heavy china.

"We have silverware — spoons, forks and knives —
and salt and pepper shakers (from Derby)," Mike Dunn,
junior in business administration, said. "It helps save us
from doing dishes."

"We have a complete
kitchen utensil set —

By Heather Hollingsworth

Silverware theft preparations were minimal and
profitable, Dunn said.

"Wear something with pockets in it, like a pullover,"
he said. "Then you put it in the pockets and leave."

Smuggled goods became a sign of victory for student
thieves.

"I think it's kind of a challenge. You go down to
these bars and they have these glasses with their names
on them or something," Pence said. "Kids try and figure
out a way to get them out of there, you know, for
decoration."

Edwards agreed silverware theft was not an issue
unique to Housing and Dining Services.

"I think probably the restaurant industry in general
experiences that problem," Edwards
said. "Those red plastic tumblers from
Pizza Hut are kind of a trademark
thing. You see those all over the place. "

China theft from the dining centers
was on the decrease, Pence said.

"It used to be a complete place plateS, DOWlS, SpOOHS
setting for every student every year,"
Pence said. "I think now we are doing
less than that. I think it's like 50 percent
(replacement rate)."

Officials had considered banning
backpacks from the dining centers.

"One of the preventative measures
we will look at in the future is to have
a rule where backpacks have to be checked at the door
or downstairs," Edwards said.

Housing and Dining Services attempted to recover
stolen items at the end of the year by placing boxes for
the china and silverware in hall lobbies.

"We get the boxes pretty well filled up with stuff the
kids have just taken over there," Edwards said. "I don't
think in their minds they see that as theft."

Plates and china 'were not the only commodities
stolen from Housing and Dining Services.

An empty fish tank prompted Jodi Mathews,
sophomore in business administration, to take matters
into her own hands and fill it.

"I was sitting in the lobby of the dorm and was telling
my friend how we had a fish tank in our room without
any fish and then it was like a call from God — there was
a fish tank behind me," she said.

searching for a new roommate

classified situations

ROOMMA TE NEEDED to share a three-bedroom house,
short walk to campus — $250 plus utilities.

This was one of 15 classified advertisements that ran
in the Collegian the first week of fall classes. When
unexpected problems occurred, students turned to
classified ads to find that needed roommate.

Wes Briggs, senior in accounting, left for Germany
in May thinking his housing situation for the upcoming
school year was set in stone, he said.

Briggs planned to rent a house with three other
students; Matt Wilkerson, sophomore in sociology;
Jason Peffly, junior in biology; and Kyler Carpenter,
senior in elementary education.

The landlord promised they were first on a list of
potential renters, so Briggs left money tor the deposit
with one of his roommates, Briggs said.

"I was really excited to come back and move into a
place like that," Briggs said. "It was a nice house where
we'd have a lot of room and everybody would have their
own space."

However, before returning to Manhattan, he
discovered his housing situation was anything but
concrete. The landlord had decided to rent the house to
someone else, Briggs said.

"I had found out we weren't going to get that place
about three weeks before I got home," Briggs said. "I
definitely started to worry because I knew I was going
to have to start looking for a place."

The roommates scrambled to find a house because
it was the middle ol July and their apartment lease
expired July 31.

Because the housing situation with the other three
roommates was uncertain, Carpenter had renewed a
contract with his landlord in May.

The remaining roommates found a three-bedroom
house and signed a lease for 1516 Pipher Lane.

"Because ot the lack of timeliness we had to settle on
a house instead of choose," Briggs said.

After signing the lease, Peffly said he had problems

By Heather Hollingsworth

with the landlord and the rent, which was $750 plus
utilities, so he found other housing arrangements.

Briggs and Wilkerson began searching for a third
roommate through a Collegian ad, Briggs said.

They entered the search with a male roommate in
mind but Heather Rohr, sophomore in arts and sciences,
was the first to respond to the advertisement. The
roommates immediately offered her the room.

Before moving into the house on Pipher Lane, Rohr
had also scrambled to find a place to stay. She had
planned to rent a house with several friends, but they
backed out at the last minute.

"Going into it I think that I would have preferred
having a male roommate," Briggs said. "Heather has
worked out really well and I'm glad to
have her as a roommate. We were kind
of expecting to have a male roommate,
so she was kind of a surprise."

A final glitch altered the roommates'
plans. After Rohr moved into the
house, Wilkerson moved to Emporia
to be closer to his girlfriend. He was
unable to find someone to fill the lease
and was forced to pay his portion ot the
rent while he was in Emporia.

"I was hoping I wouldn't have to pay it the whole
semester," Wilkerson said, "but it didn't work out."

Completing the circular roommate cycle, Carpenter
took over Wilkerson's rent Jan. 1.

Briggs predicted a third roommate would change
the house's atmosphere.

"It will definitely be different with three of us,"
Briggs said. "There is a big, big difference. I'm kind of
curious myself to see how this all works out."

Although finding a roommate through the classified
ads would not work for everyone, Briggs said he
recommended the experience.

"I think it works," he said. "It is one of the best ways
to let people know you need a roommate."

"It is one of the best
ways to let people know
you need a roommate."

I encounter

renting" nightmares

"I feel like I have
become a lot wiser on
renting. Take your time,
look things over and get
things in writing."

Michelle Lemons
junior in horticulture

Student renters' dreams turned to nightmares when
houses fell to pieces and unsafe conditions caused
health problems.

During a three-day rainstorm at the beginning of the
fall semester, a small portion of Michelle Lemons' roof
caved in.

"The landlord sent over a roofing guy who put some
tar here and there," Lemons, junior in horticulture, said.
"They just stuck a piece of a board up. They never even
painted it."

In addition to the root caving in, her shower and
toilet leaked into the bedroom below, the ice box did
not freeze and the house was infested with mice and
roaches, Lemons said.

"When we told the landlord we
had mice, he gave us three or four
traps and said 'That should fix it,'
she said.

Lemons and her seven roommates
also had problems with their landlord's
billing process.

"He wasn't paying the bills on
time so KCPL (Kansas City Power
and Light) was charging a late fee,
which he was trying to pass on to us
without telling us," Lemons said.
"We were getting disconnection
notices trom them and twice they
tried to disconnect us."
Alter that, the roommates asked to receive copies of
their bills directly from the landlord.

Problems with the house reeked havock on Lemons'
relationship with her roommates.

"We are trying to patch all this back together,"
Lemons said. "Because it's really ruined my
friendships with my friends. I feel really responsible
because I helped find this house."

Lemons said she learned several rental lessons from
her unfortunate experience.

"I feel like 1 have become a lot wiser on renting,"
Lemons said. "Take your time, look things over and get
things in writing."

Paulette Pleasant, junior in food and nutrition-
exercise science, experienced a housing situation that
caused health problems. .

"I was sick the whole semester with a bad headache,"
Pleasant said. "I was tired and getting sick — vomiting.
They never knew why."

The cause of her health problems was a furnace
venting carbon monoxide into the house.

However, the house was a mess from the start,

By Heather Hollingsworth

Pleasant said.

"When we moved in August we didn't have a toilet
or a shower," Pleasant said. "It was filthy dirty. We
didn't have any hot water in our kitchen. The roof
leaked. We didn't have central air and we didn't have
any screens on our windows, so we couldn't open the
windows."

While the roommates were without a place to live
they stayed with friends, Pleasant said.

"Basically, we had paid rent on a place that was
uninhabitable," Pleasant said. "We lived in the house
more than a month before the things that make a house
livable were fixed."

Prior to moving in, the three roommates had felt
confident about their choice, she said.

"He was in the midst of redoing it when Megan
(McGrath, junior in animal science and industry), my
roommate, looked at it, so she said 'Hey this guy is all
right," she said. "We were way too trusting."

Rental laws allow renters five days from the date of
possession to terminate their lease agreement for failure
to comply with the terms of the lease, Scott Smith,
director of Consumer and Tenant Affairs, said.

Smith recommended finding other arrangements if
a landlord started out on a bad note.

"If it's not the way you like it when you move in,
find some other place," Smith said. "It's not a good sign.
More than likely he's probably not going to fix something
later on down the line."

Problems with the furnace caused temperatures to
plummet to 48 degrees on a cold day. To combat the
cold the roommates bought a space heater, piled on
blankets and even kept the oven door open in the
evenings. Pleasant said.

However, once Pleasant began experiencing
headaches and nausea, she missed numerous days of
work. She went to the doctor and he could not diagnose
the cause of her illness.

"These were headaches that would keep you in bed
and I didn't know (they were from the fumes) but it did
me no good staying in bed," Pleasant said.

When the roommates moved out at the beginning
of January, they smelled gas and called KCPL.

"The minute they walked in, they opened all the
windows and shut off the gas," Pleasant said.

After the problem was discovered, the house was
condemned.

"The really scary thing is we were using the space
heater and leaving the oven open when the furnace was
leaking," Pleasant said. "It's really scary to think the
house could have blown up."
