While the campus' appearance was updated, campus
operations changed in preparation for the turn
of the century.

Students camped outside Bramlage Coli-
seum, awaiting football ticket sales Aug. 28 and
29. For the first time, students could not put the
purchase of athletic tickets on fall tuition bills,
and many were left without tickets. The gradu-

buying tickets was through purchasing the combination of

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Awards help area bands develop larger foil awing.

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

Ruskabank played their 100th show Oct. 9.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Bassist Dean Hopkins, sopho-
more in business, plays at the
Opus Band Competition in the
free-speech zone Sept. 1 8. Seven
bands competed in the annual
competition, and Hopkins' band,

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

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

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

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

FALLING

the jump

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

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

wing support, students waited
for the jump master to say "dot,"
at which time the student looked
at the "X" taped on the wing
directly above their head. While
looking at the "X," the student
let go of the plane.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

The interaction helped students become acquainted with others. Brent

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

To kiss or not to fass,That is the dog:
Whether 'tis enormous in the podium to write-
The peoples and horsies of outrageous cars,
Or to take tables against a doorknob of cameras,
And by swinging, end them. To kiss: To kiss;
No more; and by a kiss to say we end.

To kiss: perchance to frolick. aye there's the

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

PANIC

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

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

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

Stewman was fortunate.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

ick's Legend

Story of East Stadium's ghost

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

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

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

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

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

d of haunted theater draws audience to plays.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

she suspected still lived in the theater.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

UPC sponsors free event allowing students to make

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

bert Rangel takes a wax mold

the Feb. 1 event at the K-

pany, based out of Dallas,
had 20-30 similar events
each week. Whitney Haefner,
senior in journalism and
mass communications, said
the event provided a gift al-
ternative for the upcoming
holiday. "It's near Valentine's
Day, and a candle could be
used as a reminder to a
friend or boyfriend that you
care," Haefner said. (Photo

First year for Job Expo considered success for students, employers

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

WE'VE ALL TALKED ABOUT THE FUTURE,

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

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

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

dents returned to school.

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

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

LIFEHANDS O

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

By Maria Johnson and Jeff

director for adult student services, said.

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

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

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

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

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

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

1978

Out of 18,293 students
enrolled, 1,294, or 7.1
percent, were non-traditional
students.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

TO SPACE

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

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

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

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

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

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

Johnson predicted students would work
at the completed space station.

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

IN A NEW

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

Hannah had a portfolio.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Association developed a

journals, checklists and observations.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

FROM SUN'S

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Still, the university could achieve more,
Unger said.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

THE CURE

Mersmann and Jake Palenske

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

!■■!■■ ■■■!■■!■■ II!

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

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

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

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

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

Students help Red Cross save lives with blood

Wildcats 960. Jayhawks 628.

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

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

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

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

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

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

Parking Services also motivated participation

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Self defense class teaches women ways to protect themselves.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

more protective of herself.

"One in four college-age women are sexually

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

me more aware of the things I can do if someone

approaches me and the ways I can protect myself."

Participants also discussed the characteristics

rapists looked for in victims.

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

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

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

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

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

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

GROUNDS

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Identical twins confuse friends with looks that are a

by shanda parker

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

NOTORIETY

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Student takes holiday position portraying Santa

Maria

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

probably the hardest part."

Thies said children's reactions were
entertaining.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

stopped to see Santa.

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

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

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

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

While on break, Philip Thies ad-
justs his beard, which was too big
for him. Thies' costume was pro-
vided for him by Reflections Pho-

Liver from Wagner Field, it's

hy joftl white

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

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

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

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

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

Brown said the fan turnout was well beyond his
expectations.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

WALLS

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Student creates wine for many reasons; the biggest is friendship

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Elliott said he shared wine making with his friends.

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

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

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

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

Students chose to quit boozing.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Only three clubs in Aggieville were 18 and older

with the majority of clubs only providing service to

individuals 21 and older. Students under the legal age

could still attend off-campus

parties, which Mamura said

posed less pressure to drink.

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

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

"Personally I don't even like

the taste of it," Rich Smith,

sophomore in journalism and mass

communications, said, "plus that it

makes you act stupid."

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

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

Overall, I think
more and more

students are

choosing not to

drink. Excessive

drinking is down

also.

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

f'T I TT ' "

SHARKS

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

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

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

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

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

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

Taylor said drivers had unspoken rules for parking spaces.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

just hard to figure out what they really mean."

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

Limsupavanich for being mature and well
adjusted.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Two professors write hook using Coanh Snyder's

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

By Robert J. Shoop and Susan M. Scott

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

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

LIVES ON

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

lowing a memorial walk Jan. 18, Prieto said.

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

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

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

stuff in this country that would make Hitler blush."

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

But Eileen said Keen made the right decision.

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

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

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

Umbehr said he didn't regret his decision.

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

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

WATERS

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

EXPLOSION

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

In December, DeBruce appealed a $1.7
million fine imposed by the Occupational
Safety and Health Administration for

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

The chapter was suspended indefi-

nitely by Pat Bosco, dean of student life.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

)hy violations

he purchased and donate the money.

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

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

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

Aggieville's Campus Theatre, a histori-

the 1920s, shut down July 16 after its last
showing of "City of Angels."

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

COACH

J 1-6-98

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

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

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

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

Coach Asbury said Hartman would be missed.

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

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

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

Sheila Frahm congratulates the newly elected Kan-

speech Nov. 3 at the Kansas Expocenter in Topeka.
Rather than focus on issues or his priorities for the
next term, Graves spoke of family and commitment in
his speech. "I would not be here without the support
and confidence instilled in me by my parents, Bill and
Helen Graves," Graves said during his speech.

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

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

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

Graves said his success was not due to
political campaigning.

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

sas," Graves said.

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

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

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

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

TRI-DELTS

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

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

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

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

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

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

CLINTON

.2-12-99

an ate vote

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

STUDENT RADIO STATION

.2-99

ogramming, de

The campus radio station, KSDB Wild-
cat 91.9 had a rocky month.

Problems began with new program-
ming initiated by programming director
Jeremy Claeys and the new staff. The show,
"Jam the Box," which ran when the radio
station was known as DB92, was moved
from a 5 to 9 p.m. timeslot to an 11 p.m. to
3 a.m. timeslot.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Classes

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

from a distance

[*A*i

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

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

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

afford to
pay some-
one to do
that."

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

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

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

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

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

During production of Spanish via Satellite,
Aaron Fisher, junior in mass communications;
Jake Kluge, senior in mass communications;

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

"Enroll naked: Use KATS."

This message, featured in the Conspiracy Theory cartoon in the

enrolling with the new K-State Access Technology System. It also
informed students the system was ready for spring enrollment.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Other students preferred the new enrollment method.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Although not yet
on the market, Wang
remained hopeful.

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

neering complex that includes Durland and
Rathbone halls. The addition would house a
library, auditorium, study rooms and the De-
partment of Civil Engineering. Engineering
books from Hale Library would be put there.
"The first floor is really a place for learning
and knowledge transfer," Terry King, dean of
the College of Engineering, said. "I think the
modern view of a library will be as a node of
knowledge exchange." (Drawing provided by

helping to

for the future

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

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

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

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

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

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

certainly something to enhance that ed-
ucation."

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

helping the

learn with art

Wk County Grade School students had

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Birthing
Center

children about
animal births

. «

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

"Whatever we find as cures to their

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

The experience was valuable to the futures of the

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Carpenter said working at Sunset
Zoo had many benefits.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Carpenter said he hoped the program
would continue to grow.

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

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

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

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

Manhattan-area veterans joined the Air Force and Army ROTC
on Veteran's Day to dedicate a flagpole in front of the Military

post office in Dykstra Hall, represented appreciation for those who
served their country on the battlefield.

"This flagpole is more important than just a piece

ceremony. "It will rally our patriotism, our valor and
our courage. It's a powerful symbol that will be here
for years to come."

then sanded and painted the pole.

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

The flagpole replaced the previously-used pole,
damaged in a storm.

"This is the perfect spot to display the U.S. flag,"
said retired Brig. Gen. Richard Fye at the dedication ceremony. "I'm
proud of you for having done it."

Josh Vogel, senior in construction science and management and
vice president of the Association of General Contractors, helped
supply materials and manpower.

"Everything ran pretty smoothly," Vogel said. "The weather
delayed us a few times, but other than that it went well."

Fye said he hoped having the flag more prominently displayed
would create pride in students. He spoke of his own pride in the flag.

"I look at the flag, and I think how proud I am of this nation," Fye
said, pausing to maintain his composure. "I hope you all come to
revere the flag in the same way that I have."

Agricultural jour-
nalism students
gained real-life expe-
rience at Midwest
livestock publications
through the Livestock
Publications Council
Mentor /Protege Pro-
gram.

Students worked
with mentors to learn
about agricultural
communications job.

"1 think it's a really
super program for the
students," Kris
Boone, assistant pro-
fessor of agriculture
communications,
said. "They're going
to get to work one-on-
one with someone
and get to really pick
their brain and under-
stand what their jobs
are like."

The program be-
gan in 1996 as a pilot
program, but Boone
said this was the first
year they had a year to
look back to. She said
it was a problem re-
minding mentors
how much free time
students could devote
to the program.

"They forget what
students' schedules
are like," Boone said.
"They think students
have a lot more free
time, but it's moving
along pretty well."

Jeff Sutton, junior
in agricultural jour-
nalism, said the pro-
gram brought net-
working opportuni-
ties.

"I'm doing the
things I need to pre-
pare myself for the fu-
ture, like meeting the
people I'll be working
for and building my
resume and portfo-
lio," he said. "Those
kinds of things will
definitely give me a
head start on my fu-
ture."

family ties

through college

was a family
affair when
it came to the Brays, and going to class
became a family event.

Kim Bray, senior in horticulture and
May graduate, and her two daughters,
junior Justin Bray and sophomore
Thaine were in Plants for the Interior
Environment together during spring
semester.

"We don't study together for classes
that we are in together, but if the girls
are in a class that I had in the past, then
I help them out," Kim said. "I think we
all enjoy being together in class because
it gives us someone to talk to, and if one
of us is having a big problem with the
class then we can work together."

Kim started her college career as a
pharmacy major at the University of
Missouri at Kansas City but quit short of
graduation to raise her children. In 1993
she went back to school and commuted
to class from Holton, Kan., while still
working in Topeka.

In the fall, she moved to Manhattan
to be closer to school and her daughters.

"It was strange going back to school
20 years later," Kim said. "Then, to have
my daughters in my classes made it
even stranger. I was used to having
control over them, as their mother, and
now they are my peers."

Her time away from school helped
her decide what major to pursue when
she went back. While away from school,

she developed a love for gardening. She
would bring home the cheap, sick
plants from the store and try to nurse
them back to health.

"I knew I was going to have to work
for the rest of my life," Kim said. "I
wanted a degree that gave me a career
and a path in life. Gardening was some-
thing I knew I could do for the rest of my
life."

Thaine and Justin said they both
chose horticulture as their major par-
tially because of their mom.

"We were influenced directly, yet
indirectly," Justin said. "It wasn't an T
think you should do this' kind of
speech, but it was just something we
were always exposed to, and we de-
cided we really liked it."

The girls agreed it was strange hav-
ing their mom in classes, but they didn't
mind. Justin said since they were so
close it didn't seem strange.

"We enjoy being together in class, but
it's still strange," said Justin. "We're
used to her being 'mom' and not being
in our classes. She should be at home or
at work, not in class."

Thaine said although they enjoyed
working with plants and being to-
gether, they were different people.

"We have different places we want
to go and things we each want to do,"
Thaine said. "We'd love to have each
other with us, but we are individual
people."

Sigifredo Castro-Diaz used to tell people he had a date with Ricky
Alvarez.

"That's what I used to say anyway, until my partner Ricky told
me about idioms here," Castro-Diaz, an international student from
Bogota, Columbia, said. "He said a date is with a girl, so now I say
I meet with him or get together."

Castro-Diaz and Alvarez were paired through the Conversational
English Program and became friends.

In its eighth year, the CEP assisted international
students learning English. In return, American students
received cultural experiences.

Bruce Belmont, CEP program coordinator, said
the majority of international participating students
were Asians, with some Europeans and Latinos.

"This is the highest year of involvement — 95
pairs," Belmont said. "That's almost 10 percent of the
international student population."

International students learned conversational
English and adapted to the culture quickly with their
partners' help, Eleana Montero, international student
from Maracaibo, Venezuela, said.

"Three months ago, all I could say in English was,
'hello, yes, how are you' and my ABC's," she said.
"My partner, Mandy, helps me do my homework
when I don't understand."

Mandy Jaggard, sophomore in secondary
education, said it helped American and international students.

"I want to teach overseas," she said. "I thought it'd be beneficial
to be around foreign people and learn different cultures."
Castro-Diaz said the program helped him make friends.
"It's one of the best things here for me," he said. "My life changed
after meeting Ricky. He's definitely one of my best friends."

Jaggard said the cultures differed, but the people were similar.
"I learned to speak slower without talking very loud," Jaggard
said. "I love how no matter what language someone speaks, we all
laugh and smile together in the same language."

elite — i

by shannon delmez

The College of
Business reaffirmed
its position among the
elite when it was rec-
ommended for reac-
creditation.

The honor, first re-
ceived in 1973, made
the college part of the
25 percent of accredit-
ed business colleges.

"This really is a
certificate of quality,"
Yar Ebadi, dean of the
College of Business,
said. "It is really a
stamp of approval."

The accreditation
process began when
the college submitted
a self-study to the In-
ternational Associa-
tion for Management
Education, and a re-
view team visited
campus Oct. 4-7.

"They actually
look at everything,"
Ebadi said. "They
want to make sure the
quality is there."

The team visited
classrooms, inter-
viewed students and
met with President
Jon Wefald and Pro-
vost James Coffman.

The team's only
concern was the level
of resources as enroll-
ment had increased
by 500 during the pre-
vious three years.

"We've added
three faculty positions
in the current year,"
Coffman said, "and
we have plans to add
seven more positions
in the next three
years."

Ebadi said he con-
tinually revised cur-
riculum to keep it rig-
orous and relevant.

"As a dean, I am
often questioned by
employers as to what
can they do to get
more of us," Ebadi
said. "That's a great
problem to have."

speech communication, theatre and dance,
demonstrates for her ballet students in the
new dance studios in the basement of
Nichols Hall. The former studios, which were
located in Ahearn Field House, were not well-
suited for dance. She said students com-
plained about the harsh environment of the
Ahearn studios. "There was poor insulation,"
Yagerline said, "so often classes had to be
canceled because of the cold." The new
studios gave the students higher ceilings,
suspended wood floors and a built-in sound
system. (Photo by Jeff Cooper)

Ballet students practice in one of the studios

in the basement of Nichols. The studios

offered new technologies, including spring

floors. The floors were constructed by using

wood in a basket weave pattern as a base

and a glossy finish that took a week to dry.

A vinyl overlay supported jumping, provided

better traction for landing and prevented

injuries to dancers by working as a shock

absorber. Until then, dance classes were

taught in wrestling rooms on the third floor of

Ahearn. The new facilities not only improved

safety, but united students in the Department

taking dance classes no
longer scraped their
hands on the studio ceilings in Ahearn
Field House.

New dance studios, built in the base-
ment of Nichols Hall, were constructed
with higher ceilings. They also had sus-
pended wood floors, larger floor space
and a built-in sound system.

The new studios united the Depart-
ment of Speech Communication, The-
atre and Dance on Oct. 12. It was a
dream for dance majors and instructors
since the late 1980s, Jo Miller, instructor
of speech communication, theatre and
dance, said.

"It was worth the wait," she said.
"Now we have them forever."

The dance program, originally part
of the kinesiology department, formed
in 1977. Dancers used two wrestling
rooms on the third floor of Ahearn,
which had been transformed into dance
studios with a portable sound system
and mirrors. But those studios lacked
central air and insulation.

"The temperature was terrible,"
Miller said. "Sometimes it was so cold
we couldn't have class."

The dance program split from the
kinesiology department in 1987 to form
the Department of Speech Communica-
tion, Theatre and Dance. Luke Kahlich,
former dance program director for 17
years, wanted to house all three pro-
grams in Nichols.

"He (Kahlich) fought hard to get the
space for the studios," Miller said.
"Luke started the idea in the late 1980s."

That idea became a reality after pri-

foundation

vate donations and fund-raising efforts
allowed construction to begin. Money
from the Crumbling Classroom Fund
also assisted the project.

"The funding was a partnership be-
tween the university and the depart-
ment," said Dave Proctor, department
head of speech communications, the-
atre and dance. "The difference is like
night and day."

The Nichols studios had state-of-the-
art suspended wood floors. They were
built six inches above a cement base and
functioned as shock absorbers to pre-
vent injuries.

"The floors are a lot better physi-
cally," said Amy Thompson, senior in
theater and stage manager for Winter
Dance. "They are safer on the joints of
dancers."

Although they were designed for
dancers, three of the four studios had
vinyl overlays, making them multi pur-
pose. This allowed theater students to
use the studios for rehearsing, directing,
acting and for improvisation classes,
which joined the programs.

"It boosts your confidence," Michelle
Brucker, sophomore in dance, said. "It
makes you feel like they care about the
department."

Several dance majors were also the-
ater minors. The move allowed students
easier access to both programs. It also
improved communication within the
department, Miller said.

"People feel more professional and
respected," she said. "Your environ-
ment can help set your mood, and I
think that's what is happening here."

bones

By Joel Whit*

Michael Finnegan's office was proof he had traveled the world.
Crossbows from Vietnam, hunting and fishing bows and arrows
from Amazonian tribes, poison-tipped arrows from Africa and
police patches from Kansas counties acted as reminders.

Finnegan, professor of physical anthropology and consultant in
forensic anthropology, said K-State had allowed him
to travel to almost every continent.

"They would let me pursue the types of things I
wanted to pursue as long as I was productive in a
scholarly/research sense," Finnegan said. "The
university has been more or less supportive of the sort
of thing that I do."

Michael Timberlake, head of the Department of
Sociology, Anthropology and Social Work, said
Finnegan gave his time to the community.

"When people need his forensic anthropology
expertise, they can call on him," Timberlake said, "and
he's often willing to give it to them."

Alicia Shue, senior in anthropology, said Finnegan's
connections were valuable to his students.
"He helped me get an internship with KBI," Shue said. "If you're
going into forensic sciences, he's the person to know."

Finnegan's best-known work was for the Kansas City, Mo.,
Police Department. In 1988, when the KCPD found human bones at
the home of Robert Berdella, who was later called the worst serial
killer in the history of the city, they called Finnegan for help.
Throughout the course of six weeks, Finnegan helped identify two
victims.

Finnegan said his assistance in the case helped the victims'
families more than it helped put Berdella behind bars for life.

"My contribution was I was able to give them the age, sex, stature
and race of both of those individuals and roughly how long they'd
been dead," Finnegan said. "That gave the detectives a time frame to
start looking for missing persons."

While he didn't display a souvenir of the Berdella case, police
patches served as reminders.

recruiter

by shalia satter

To find assistant
dean Dennis Wilson
humming a song as he
completed tasks
wouldn't have been
unusual. The newly
appointed minority
recruiter for the Col-
lege of Arts and Sci-
ences was also an as-
sistant professor of
music and director of
jazz studies.

Wilson said his
musical talent pro-
vided him with an un-
usual way to reach and
interest students.

"I'm a professional
musician," he said,
"I'm lead trombone
for the Carnegie Hall
Jazz Band. I've got
Grammy-winning al-
bums and Grammy
nominations for my-
self. That will be my
access to the schools."

He said that access
would allow him to
establish relationships
by first speaking to
guidance counselors
and administrators.
Then he would return
in the spring to supply
students with univer-
sity information, cre-
ating a bond.

Wilson said K-State
was serious about re-
cruiting minority stu-
dents. He said scholar-
ship money alone
would not entice
someone to attend K-
State. He planned to
travel and attract stu-
dents to K-State by
also emphasizing sup-
port groups and orga-
nizations dedicated to
minority students.

"K-State is a uni-
versity and should
have a wide range of
diversity. We need to
put our best foot for-
ward and just go out
there and compete,"
Wilson said. "Diver-
sity is necessary."

Margaret Brogada demonstrates a descrip-
tive concept with her eyes in her intermediate
Spanish class for professors. The class was
designed to teach professors, enabling them
to do research abroad and to keep up with
the increasing number of international and
bilingual students in their classrooms.
Brogada said it was nice teaching a class
where the students were so interested in
learning. She said it was different at times,
teaching a class to students with doctorates
and masters, but she said having highly-
educated students allowed them to discuss
several different views and opinions of
issues. (Photo by Jeff Cooper)

Students practice speaking Spanish in pairs
during the Spanish for professors intermedi-
ate class, taught by Brogada. Brogada,
originally from Paraguay, observed a
conversation between Franz Samelson,
professor emeritus of psychology, and Donna
Schenck-Hamlin, instructor at the agricultural
experiment station. Sixteen students, from
professors of computer science to a writer for
K-State Research and Extension, enrolled in
the intermediate Spanish class. Because it
was a conversational class, the students
rarely had written assignments. (Photo by

professors

students arrived at their Spanish class
early and spoke Spanish before it began.
During class, these students, many of
whom had masters and doctorates, di-
rected their unwavering attention to-
ward the person doing a job they were
all familiar with. The students were pro-
fessors.

The 37 professors asked to be in the
first conversational Spanish class,
funded by a joint venture between In-
ternational Programs and the College of
Agriculture.

"We've been hearing little bits and
pieces about faculty wanting to learn
Spanish for 20 years," Douglas Benson,
associate professor of modern lan-
guages, said. "In 1990, we sent out a
little survey asking if there was enough
interest for the class. We got seven re-
sponses. We sent out another survey in
October, and we had over 90 responses.
There's no way we can meet that de-
mand now, but we're working on it."

Benson said they had two classes, a
beginning class with 21 professors, and
an intermediate class with 16. The
classes began the third week of the fall
semester and continued for five weeks.

"I'm getting a refreshing of the lan-
guage skills that I previously had but
had been buried for many years,"
Jerome Lavelle, assistant professor of
industrial and manufacturing systems
engineering, said. "I've enjoyed the in-
teraction with faculty across campus
who I had not met previously."

The classes were taught by two tem-
porary instructors from the Spanish
program. Ines Ugarte taught the begin-

Spanish

ning class and Margaret Brogada taught
the intermediate class.

"All of them are so interested in the
class," Brogada said. "They're all Ph.Ds.
They're all masters in two or three
things, and there I am, just a teacher. All
the knowledge that they have and the
age difference between us, it's a place
where it's really cool to know your
stuff."

Benson said the professors were
more interested in learning Spanish this
year than eight years ago because of
changes in the population.

"The whole western half of Kansas is
Spanish speaking," Benson said. "The
school populations in Garden and
Dodge and so forth are now well over
50-percent students of color."

Because of these demographic shifts,
International Programs and the College
of Agriculture split the cost of the Span-
ish classes. Because of this, about half of
the professors were from the College of
Agriculture, and International Pro-
grams funded everyone else.

Benson said he thought the classes
would eventually lead to professors be-
ing able to help others and do more
studying abroad.

"(It will) help allay the fear in the
Midwest and at K-State about learning a
language," Benson said. "Then give the
faculty the tools they need to do their
work."

Brogada said it was fun to teach the
professors Spanish.

"It's wonderful. I love it," Brogada
said. "They want to know so much, and
I learn so much from them."

grain dust
explosions

Robert Schoeff used his camera for more than taking pictures. He
used it to increase awareness of safety in the workplace.

When an explosion killed seven workers at the DeBruce Grain
Co. elevator June 8, in Haysville, Kan., the retired K-State professor
photographed the site.

Tom Tunnell, president of the Kansas Grain and Feed

Association of Kansas, communicated with Schoeff during the

investigation. Tunnell said Schoeff's job was to get

quality, fact-based information out to the media and

general public.

"Because of his history of grain elevator safety and
grain dust explosions, we were confident that we
would get factual information," Tunnell said. "In
terms of experts in the area of grain dust and research,
Bob is by far the foremost expert in the United States."
Schoeff began photographing sites in 1968.
"There was a real need for safety training," Schoeff
said. "Because of my interest in photography and
trying to solve safety problems, I took the job."

Schoeff converted the pictures he took into slides,
and used them for presentations. When he retired
from K-State in 1991, he moved his slides to his
basement. At times, he photographed more than
damage to the buildings.

Among the slides of the DeBruce elevator explosion, which he
kept in his office, Schoeff pointed out two photos of men whose
hands and faces were bandaged.

"This man survived," Schoeff said, pointing to one slide. "This
one didn't."

Schoeff said since he began educating workers, the number of
grain dust explosions decreased. He said he hoped the tragedies of
the past could be avoided for the workers he spoke to.

"At every presentation I say the same thing," Schoeff said. "I tell
them that those who cannot remember the past are condemned to
repeat it."

The St. Louis Sec-
tion of the American
Chemical Society
honored a K-State
chemistry professor
with the 1998 Mid-
west Award to a Uni-
versity Distinguished
Professor of Chemis-
try.

Kenneth Klabunde
received the award at
the regional conven-
tion Nov. 4-7 in Wich-
ita. His colleague, Pe-
ter Sherwood, also a
distinguished profes-
sor of chemistry, nom-
inated him.

"I have always had
a lot of respect for oth-
ers who have won this
award/' Klabunde
said. "I thought that I
wasn't going to quali-
fy for this award be-
cause I had been nom-
inated a couple of
times previously."

Klabunde won the
award, a bronze me-
dallion and a honorar-
ium of $2,000 for his
research and work
with the synthesis and
study of nano parti-
cles. His atom synthe-
sis led to the discovery
of properties of nano
particles, which help
detoxify chemical
warfare agents.

"I will probably
use the money for
travel to other scien-
tific conferences."
Klabunde said.

Trying to filter a distraction coming from one
tape recorder, Holly Heyroth, freshman in
education, listens to the story on the other
tape recorder. "This is a task done to
distinguish whether or not there are differ-
ences in how males and females listen and
divide their attentions," Kelley Leath, junior in
psychology, said. The Experimental Methods
class allowed students their first opportunity
to develop and carry out experiments. "The
course itself really is a pivotal course within
the degree plan, because it's a prerequisite
for most of the core classes that they'll take
as a psych major," instructor Phil Kuehn said.

Tape recorders playing stories by O. Henry,
"The Gift of the Magi" and "The Last Leaf,"
were used in an experiment done by
psychology students. Participants were told
to focus on "The Last Leaf" and block "The
Gift of the Magi." The experiment tested to
see which gender could better filter distrac-
tions. Kuehn said he didn't expect the results
to match the hypothesis, because there was
rarely a gender difference among psychology
tests. "They (the students) are going to be
able to next time around anticipate some of
the concerns that were a part of this proce-
dure," he said. (Photo by Clif Palmberg)

"This is a tough class," instructor Phil
Kuehn, graduate student in psychol-
ogy, said. "It meets every day of the
week in one form or another. It's a five-
credit class. Three days of the week they
meet for an hour lecture with the lead
professor. Twice a week they meet with
me for lab. That's a two-hour time slot."

The final lab project required stu-
dents to research a topic, form a hypoth-
esis and then test it on volunteers from
General Psychology classes.

"The topic for the project is really
where they have their freedom," Kuehn
said. "What I'm there for is to guide
them down a path that would allow
them to ask not only an interesting ques-
tion but to do it in a way that is scientifi-
cally sound."

Groneweg, Leath and Combs said
they decided on their topic after watch-
ing an episode of "20/20." The show
featured a wife who complained her
husband did not listen or pay attention.

Then they created the experiment. It
tested whether males or females were
better able to focus their attention on
one subject with an obvious distraction.

"The common stereotype is that fe-
males are better listeners than males,"
Leath said, "and in our culture, women
are expected to divide their attention
among many different things. Our hy-
pothesis is that males will be able to
filter distractions better than females."

To test their hypothesis, the students
set up two tape recorders with a differ-
ent tape in each. The participants sat in
the middle of the room and listened to
the stories being played from the re-
corders. The experimenters instructed
participants to focus their attention on

one story and block the other. The sto-
ries were read in the same voice and
were by the same author, O. Henry.

"One of them is called The Last Leaf,'
and it's the one we'll be experimenting
on for the people to listen to, and the
distraction is 'The Gift of the Magi,' "
Combs said.

One of the tapes started right away,
and the other had a one-minute delay,
so the participants in the experimental
group could determine which story
they were to focus on. The control group
only heard one story. The participants
then completed a comprehension test.

Group members said they discov-
ered some problems with their experi-
ment once they began. They were con-
cerned about acquiring the same vol-
ume for both tape recorders and about
the difficulty of the questions on the
comprehension test. Another problem
they noticed was some participants
leaned toward the recorder they tried to
concentrate on, which made it easier to
block out the distraction.

Kuehn said students learned by do-
ing. Although he didn't think his stu-
dents' results would support the hy-
pothesis, he said he was confident his
students learned valuable information
from their studies.

"If we keep them from failing," he
said, "they aren't going to learn as much
as they could. The part that encourages
me is they very logically went through
the brainstorming process that arrived
at the original question from which they
developed this set of procedures. If they
hadn't run the procedures, they
wouldn't know about the flaws."

Kuehn said gender differences re-
corded by psychological research were
small, if existent. He said culture tended
to create those gender differences.

"It's a learning experience for them,"
Kuehn said. "Since it doesn't turn out
the way they expect it to, it causes them
to raise the question of 'why,' and that's
a natural part of the scientific process."

Cabaret's cast waits

The cast only had three

rehearsals to practice on

stage with the set, costumes

and the orchestra. While

some performers interacted

backstage, Scott Chamoff

said he liked to stay isolated

from other actors because

he thought his character, the

Emcee, was an isolated

person when not performing.

here were silk teddies, vulgar dance moves,
promiscuous characters and Nazi armbands.

It was raunchy, lewd, nasty and just what
Cabaret's director had in mind.

"We wanted to get the sense of the decay and
degeneration that is part of '30s Berlin," said Lew
Shelton, director and associate professor of speech
communication, theatre and dance. "We also
wanted to get an edge to the performance — sort of
a sexuality, decadence and desperation on the part
of the people, and a 'This is the way it is. There is
nothing I can do about it.' "

Cabaret was set during the years prior to the
Nazi takeover and World War II. Characters in the
performance, for the most part, were unaware of
the implications of what was happening around
them.

The Emcee, played by Scott Chamoff, graduate
student in theater, helped set the performance's
tone, Shelton said.

"There's not a whole lot to like about the Emcee
because he's not real heroic and doesn't have a
whole lot of redeeming qualities," Chamoff said.
"Becoming this nasty, cynical person was challeng-
ing and in retrospect, one of the nicest things be-
cause I was able to do this with him."

In 1930s Berlin, characters Sally Bowles,

played by Diana Yamabayashi, and Clifford

Bradshaw, played by Chad Pape, found

something in common as they both spoke

English. Bowles was from England and

Bradshaw was from the United States. As

tensions in Germany mounted, Bradshaw

asked Bowles to go to the United States with

him. (Photo by Clif Palmberg)

Led by Sally Bowles, played by

Yamabayashi, Kit Kat Girls dance across the

stage for "Don't Tell Mama" during Act 1 of

Cabaret. "I think the costumes helped quite a

bit, like the Kit Kat Klub Girls were all these

beautiful, nice, charming women, and through

costuming and choreography, we were able

to bring the decadence to it," Scott Chamoff,

Emcee, said. (Photo by Clif Palmberg)

sort of sad — my final curtain call on

McCain's stage," he said. "It kind of choked

me up a bit." (Photo by Clif Palmberg)

WAY OFF IN

continued from Page 129

For Chamoff, getting into his charac-
ter began at 6 p.m. when he first came to
McCain Auditorium to prepare.

"When I had the whiteface on, I could
detach myself from the character and let
the character overcome my whole
physical presence," he said. "From 6
o'clock on, I would speak with a Ger-
man accent."

Diana Yamabayashi, senior in the-
ater, got a feel for the time period from
her character, Sally Bowles.

"Throughout the whole thing, she's a
time bomb that's ticking, which is a
metaphor throughout the whole play,"
she said. "The country is just waiting to
explode."

The desperation also came out in the
choreography, Shelton said.

"I told Jo (Miller, choreographer and
instructor of speech communication,
theatre and dance) I wanted it to be as
tacky and as raunchy as we could make
it," he said.

In the orchestra pit, cellist Luke
Woellhof, sophomore in music educa-
tion, said he enjoyed the kick-line music
despite a close call with a shoe.

"It's pretty lively, and the dancers are
all kicking around," Woellhof said of
the music. "On the last night, one of the
kick-line people lost a shoe, and it came
flying at me."

Beyond the 29 performers whom the
audience applauded were musicians or
crew members who were rarely seen.

"We're looking at probably 80 to 85
people who have a direct effect on the
show not to mention the stage and set
crews," Jeremy Seemann, stage man-
ager and senior in theater, said.

Some students chalked the work up
to experience while others also received
class credit for working on the show
through Fundamentals of Technical
Production, Drama Participation or
Fundamentals of Stage Costuming.
Each of the classes required students to
work on a production.

"These classes are basically designed
to give a review of what happens with
the overall production," Seemann, who
took Fundamentals of Technical Pro-
duction fall 1997, said. "It's an excellent
way to know what's going on."

Much of the set, a basement German
cabaret, was built ahead of time and

then assembled on McCain's stage dur-
ing the two weeks Cabaret's cast and
crew had their run of the auditorium.

"The usual problem in McCain is this
is used for so many things," said John
Uthoff, set designer and associate pro-
fessor of speech communication, the-
atre and dance. "We're really allowed a
very short time to put this type of pro-
duction together."

That made for some long days and
nights when the crew began construct-
ing the set. Once the set was completed,
lighting still had to be rigged to it. It was
work most audience members didn't
realize was so time consuming, Nathan
Parr, lighting designer and senior in
theater, said.

"They don't realize that a two-hour
show they watch has 80 to 100 hours put
into it. People think theater's a fluff job,
but..." Parr said, not finishing his sen-
tence as he stood on McCain's empty
stage after 11 p.m. following the final
dress rehearsal.

Another part of the production that
came together in time for the dress re-
hearsals were costumes.

"I loved it, especially because I was in
the show," said Amy Verdon, senior in
theater and costume shop employee.
"Every time something new would
come, I would say, 'Whose is this?' '

One of her favorite costumes be-
longed to a lead character, Sally Bowles.

"It was a see-through robe, and we
stitched red boas onto the sleeves," she
said. "I wanted to steal that so bad."

Costumes like the robe gave another
edge to the tone.

"When you see the costumes and
when you get in your costumes, every-
thing goes up a notch. The costumes
add everything," Verdon said. "There's
only so much you can do in sweats and
a T-shirt."

For Cabaret, sweats and T-shirts
were too wholesome. Songs like "Don't
Tell Mama" and "Two Ladies" called
for raunchiness.

"We talked about it a lot, what we
wanted," Shelton said. "We looked at
some paintings and pictures of the pe-
riod and could see that quality in there,
and it just sort of came out as they per-
formed it. I'm really pleased that it has
an overall unity through the tone."

greenhouse

local research

greenhouses gave students the oppor-
tunity not only to grow some green, but
to earn it as well.

Within the 14 greenhouses, more
than 30,000 advanced experiments were
conducted yearly, many of which
worked to create the new white wheat
variety. Successfully produced in 1998,
white wheat was developed in part due
to 13 students' help, Rollie Sears,
agronomy professor and wheat breeder
for K-State, said.

"They are really a vital part of the
progress we make in terms of the wheat
breeding program," Sears said. "Prima-
rily, there is a lot of work we do that
requires quite a bit of training. We give
them responsibility when they come in,
and they can just take off and get the job
done."

Students said they enjoyed their
work and felt they were a part of the
research. Audrea Suther, junior in En-
glish, said she was able to help harvest
the white wheat varieties.

White wheat would be different from
red wheat, the most common wheat
used in Kansas, because of its shell.
Since white wheat's outer layer was
white, it did not need to be bleached at
flour mills like red wheat. That meant
savings for the mills.

"I feel that I'm very valuable,"
Suther, said. "The wheat I've personally
touched could someday be the next big
variety."

Sears said the five graduate and eight
undergraduate students helped with al-
most all facets of the program.

"Students help out in planting the
seed," Sears said. "Some of the more
experienced students that have been
with us for two or three years even take
part in taking notes for us."

Other student responsibilities in-
cluded maintaining the greenhouses,
filling pots with soil, checking for dis-
ease and harvesting the plants.

"We've tried in the past to make our
program as attractive as possible," Sears
said. "We try to attract students when
they are freshman or sophomores and
encourage them to work with the pro-
gram while they are here at K-State."

Sears said not just agronomy students
worked in the greenhouse. English, agri-
cultural engineering, computer science
and music majors had worked with the
program in the past.

"When we advertise, we try to en-
courage students with agricultural
backgrounds, primarily because a lot of
the things we do deal with working with
soil and with plants," Sears said. "Gen-
erally, though not always the case, the
students with ag backgrounds tend to
like those kind of activities. Certainly,
we've taken students from really the
whole campus."

Sears said, although the students
came from different backgrounds, they
worked well together.

"It's really cool because the people
who work here are so different, yet we all
get along," Marie Bunck, freshman in
industrial engineering, said.

Although much of the field work was
done in the summer, experiments con-
tinued throughout the year, Sears said.

"The fall, winter and spring are busy,
maybe even busier, for the wheat breed-
ing program than actually the summer
is," Sears said. "We also use the winter to
screen a lot of our materials for disease
and insect pests."

White wheat's resistance to disease
and insects would compare to red
wheat's abilities because they differed
by only three genes, Suther said. But to
ensure continued improvement, much
research was still needed.

"It's nice to contribute to a larger ef-
fort," Suther said. "To know that the
varieties we're dealing with today
could, in a few years, benefit the farmers
who are out on the combines now."

The houses, apart-
ments, schools and
businesses slowly en-
circled the agricul-
tural research land,
partially owned and
leased by K-State.

"In the near term,
we will be able to
maintain the land for
research, and con-
tinue using the land in
other areas," Marc
Johnson, director of
K-State Research and
Extension, said. "At
least that is our at-
tempt."

David Mengel,
chair of the Agrono-
my Department, spec-
ulated about the
land's long-term fu-
ture.

"Over time, it's
likely the space used
for agriculture will be
used for campus ex-
pansion," he said,
"but we will fight to
keep it because it is
great for teaching."

Various depart-
ments used the land
for hands-on learning.
Professors and stu-
dents used the 480-
acre Agronomy Re-
search Farm for re-
search projects, labs
and field trips.

"It's primary for
research and teach-
ing," Mengel said.
"We have classes that
meet out there. We
have adult classes
through extension,
particularly in the
summer, and there
are programs for chil-
dren."

Despite current us-
age and speculation,
the future of the land
remained uncertain.

"I don't know of
any current plans of
non-university inter-
est up there," Johnson
said. "We have no
plans to sell it."

Many laughed at the idea, passing it off as simply absurd: a major
where students learned how to mow lawns.

"I get a lot of funny looks when I tell people what my major is,"
Quinn Struck, freshman in golf course management, said. "But
when I explain myself, people usually find it interesting."

The new major, an extension of the Department of Horticulture,
Forestry and Recreation Resources' turf management major, taught
students not only about grass and trees, but also
communications, public relations, hotel management
and business.

"It deals with a lot more than mowing lawns,"
Struck said. "It has to do with chemicals, hiring of
people — pretty much everything involved with
running a golf course, plus mowing the lawn."

K-State was one of only three schools in the Big 12
Conference that offered the program.

"It really caters to what I'm looking for," Mark
Spears, junior in golf course management, said. "I feel
lucky to attend a university that offers this major.
Plus, K-State gives me a unique experience with
nature and a highly accredited program."

The program grew with the ground breaking of
Colbert Hills, K-State's PGA-caliber golf course and
the only course in the nation to be used strictly for a
college curriculum. The course, partially funded by professional
golfer and alumnus Jim Colbert, would also allow children who
would not be considered stereotypical golfers to train. Each summer,
125 children would train for two or four weeks.

Although only the preliminary stages of the course were
underway, the thought of completion was enough to make Jack Fry,
professor in horticulture, forestry and recreation, smile.

"This is a tremendous opportunity for students to get hands-on
experience on a championship golf course," Fry said. "There is no
better place in the U.S. than K-State if you're a student interested in
golf course management as a career."

Thanks to a doll
with skin layers like a
real dog, third-year
students in veterinary
medicine learned sur-
gical skills without
using live animals.

Dr. Ron McLaugh-
lin, associate profes-
sor of clinical sciences,
said the Dog Abdomi-
nal Surrogate for In-
structional Exercises,
or DAISE, served as a
dry run for the re-
quired abdominal ex-
ploratory and spay/
neuter labs.

"The body wall of
the DAISE is different
layers," Dr. Jim
Roush, associate pro-
fessor of clinical sci-
ences, said. "And
when you suture a
normal animal, you
suture those layers of
skin as you are com-
ing out."

Students used DA-
ISE, muslin stretched
inside embroidery
hoops, or sometimes
even pig's feet, to
practice suturing.

"Nothing com-
pares to the real thing,
but you're 10 steps
ahead with the DAISE
doll," Tiffany Magid,
fourth-year student in
veterinary medicine,
said.

Students learned
basic skills, like hold-
ing instruments cor-
rectly, then applied
them to surgical pro-
cedures.

Practicing their
skills taught students
how to leave good im-
pressions on their fu-
ture clients, Megan
Ehlers, fourth-year
student in veterinary
medicine, said.

"The way pet own-
ers judge the job you
did is by how their pet
looks after they get
home," she said.

remembered when she was a cheer-
' leader in high school. She remembered
when she could stay awake an entire
night talking with girlfriends. She re-
membered when she could attend
school for full days, and she remem-
bered when all that began to change.

At 17, Molly Casey was diagnosed
with the terminal disease, lupus. Lupus,
a connective tissue disorder, occurred
when her immune system became hy-
peractive and attacked normal tissue.

"In the beginning, I started getting
really bad migraines, and all I ever
wanted to do was sleep," Casey, fresh-
man in social work, said of the symp-
toms that appeared during her junior
year in high school. "Then I got this rash
all over my body. It was everywhere
except my hands, feet and face. Once my
joints started aching really bad, I knew it
was something worse."

Doctors said Casey's disease was he-
reditary, but she was adopted and did
not know her family's medical history.
While doctors searched for answers,
Casey grew more fatigued. She was
forced to cut back on school and activi-
ties. She said it felt like her life was
slowly falling apart.

Casey's boyfriend, David Piken,
freshman in business, knew her when
she was diagnosed. He witnessed her
daily trials as she adjusted to the
changes.

"Molly was really a nervous wreck. If
she was down, she'd be really sad and
teary eyed and tired. When she was up,
she'd be dancing around, laughing and
talking," Piken said. "I never knew if
she'd be in school or at home crashing
on her couch."

For months, Casey did not under-
stand how ill she was. She said her doc-
tors discouraged her from learning
more about lupus because they thought
the information would only scare her.
She could not explain to people, or her-
self, what was happening to her.

for her life

"I didn't feel like talking about it with
anyone because it was so hard, so I kept
everything inside," Casey said. "Before
too long, I was in a state of depression."

It took time for Casey to readjust to
her new schedule, medication and fre-
quent doctor visits. Eventually, she said
she overcame her sadness and despera-
tion with the help of family and friends.

Casey graduated from high school
on time through a reduced schedule
and summer courses. College plans
brought pressure and change, includ-
ing living away from home.

"I learned a lot from Molly. I didn't
even know what lupus was before I met
her," said Mariah Smith, Casey's room-
mate and freshman in physical therapy.
"It took some time getting used to her
schedule though because she naps so
often. When she needed to wake up,
someone would actually have to throw
water on her face to even get her to stir. "

Casey had to speak with her profes-
sors before school started. She was con-
sidered a disabled student and received
privileges, but with those privileges
came responsibilities.

"My professors know I'm sick. When
I'm not in class there is someone to take
notes for me," Casey said. "But this
makes it tough to make myself go to
class. I know how important it is, but
some days getting out of bed takes an
awful lot."

Casey said she knew her disease pre-
sented a constant struggle. However, it
helped her realize a desire to help chil-
dren facing similar situations by work-
ing in a hospital with terminally-ill chil-
dren. She said it could be emotionally
draining, but it would be worth it if she
could lessen one child's pain.

"For now, I've got to take it slowly. I
don't know if I'll get sicker tomorrow.
I've got to hope every day that it will go
into remission," Casey said. "I know I'll
always have it, and that's all right. I can
just never let my disease have me."

K-State ranked last in the Big 12.

Though a strong competitor in football, cross country, livestock
judging and debate, when it came to paying its professors, the
university ranked last among other schools in the conference.

For the seventh year in a row, K-State's faculty salaries were the
lowest in the Big 12.

"What happens is that we lose a significant number of people as
they are getting promoted from assistant professor to
full professor," said Ronald Downey, associate
provost and director of planning and analysis,
"because if they're successful, people want them."

Downey said many professors left because other
institutions offered higher salaries with more
benefits.

"You could be a professor here at K-State and like
the school, your job and the classes," Downey said.
"But $15,000 is a lot of money. If you're offered that
much more, you are going to at least consider
leaving."

In its Annual Report on the Status of Faculty
Salaries at K-State, the Faculty Affairs Subcommittee
said the average K-State salary needed to be increased
18.7 percent to equal the average salary of five peer
institutions.

According to the report, the average salary at K-
State was $48,693, while the average salary at a comparable
institution was $53,517.

"If we want a good university, if we are trying to be competitive
nationally, we should be competitive nationally in terms of salaries,"
said Talat Rahman, faculty senate president and professor of
physics. "In the long run, it's the people of Kansas who are going to
benefit."

Downey said in order to compete, the Kansas Legislature needed

to allot a consistent, above-average increase for three to four years.

"The problem has always been that the legislature has given

above-average increases," Downey said. "But then that's followed

by a couple of years of below-average increases."

In order to solve the problem, Rahman said Kansas citizens
needed to be informed on the benefits of raising salaries.

"I think the problem is that the public and the legislature do not
always know what the faculty does," he said. "We need to make it
known to the people who pay the bills, what it is we do for them."
Rahman said many people thought professors were only
responsible for teaching a few classes each day. However, professors
also met with and advised students served on committees and
conducted research.

"This is something that should go home to Kansas," Rahman
said. "These are people who aren't just sitting in their office and
teaching. They're like ambassadors to the world, reaching out and
teaching others."

faculty salaries

increase in

attracts students

university affirmed its dedication to re-
cruiting the best students when it an-
nounced a $50 million scholarship cam-
paign Sept. 18.

The KSU Foundation kicked the cam-
paign off at a gala outside the Marianna
Kistler Beach Museum of Art. They pre-
dicted the campaign, which would con-
tinue through June 2000, would provide
up to $500,000 more in scholarships per
year.

"The campaign was initiated because
we believe that we need additional
scholarship support to remain competi-
tive in attracting new students to K-
State," Pat Bosco, dean of student life,
said, "but also to retain students who
have done well academically at the uni-
versity."

Besides retaining students, the cam-
paign intended to increase the
university's competitiveness.

"In the last 10 years, competition for
students has increased drastically. The
best and brightest were going to other
universities. We needed to compete for
our own kids." Richard Pearson, volun-
teer head of the campaign, said. "We
saw the demand coming up, and the
university didn't have money to com-
pete with."

Larry Moeder, director of student fi-
nancial assistance, said that of the total
$65 million given each year in student
aid, only $5.4 million was university
scholarships.

"While that's not the lowest in the
state, we still could use more." Moeder
said.

He said in-state universities, as well

as surrounding-state universities, had
not only increased scholarships, but the
emphasis they placed on scholarships,
the amount of scholarships and student
recruitment.

"We are quite simply not in the posi-
tion right now to compete with some of
the sizes of scholarships that some of the
in-state schools are awarding," Smith
said. "Out-of-state schools are also
waiving tuition to help students, plus
giving scholarship money on top of that.
So, in some cases, they make it cheaper to
go to an out-of-state school than we can
make it coming to an in-state school,"

The campaign began partly because
70 percent of students were receiving
some type of financial aid, Lisa Yi, senior
associate director for student financial
assistance, said.

"Most K-State students who receive
academic scholarships also qualify for
financial assistance," Bosco said. "There
will be a few scholarships that will be
need as well as merit specific, but the
great majority will be merit-based schol-
arships."

By November, the campaign had
raised more than $30 million, Pearson
said. He was confident that the remain-
ing $20 million would not be any prob-
lem.

"By raising a $50 million endowment,
we can supply Kansas State University
students with a quarter million to a half
million dollars in scholarships per year."
Pearson said. "It's important that young
men and women get a college education,
and we want them to get it at Kansas
State."

Nationwide and
at K-State, students
and graduates
found paying back
their loans was
easier than they as-
sumed. The na-
tional default rate
hit a record low of
9.6 percent when
universities saw
substantial de-
creases in students
failing to pay back
loans.

"The national
trends are reflected
here at K-State,"
Lisa Yi, senior asso-
ciate director of stu-
dent financial assis-
tance, said. "Actu-
ally, our default rate
just went down
one-hundredth of a
percent, but that's
nothing consider-
ing the magnitude
and the volume of
the number of loans
we give out here."

Julie Rosfeld,
freshman in pre-
psychology, was
one of 14,000-
15,000, or about 70
percent of K-State
students, who took
advantage of gov-
ernment financial
assistance by taking
out loans. She said
she worried how
she would finance
her education.

"I don't know
what I would do for
sure if I wasn't re-
ceiving aid,"
Rosfeld said. "Hav-
ing debts right out
of college won't be
fun, but I think it's
worth it. I know I'll
get mine paid off as
fast as possible."

The sounds of the 1920s and '30s echoed
through Ahearn Field House while students
learned dances from the era of speakeasies
and zoot suits.

"It's something new," Elisha Kratty,
freshman in open option, said. "Going from
mosh pits and slam dancing to this is some-
thing I think people are looking for."

The Ballroom Dance Club offered Latin
ballroom and swing dance classes for credit
spring semester.

"In a 90-minute class, I can easily teach
the basics," Joshua Hernandez, class instruc-
tor, said. "Later they have the option of tak-
ing private lessons."

The class, limited to 40 participants,
filled, and Hernandez said he turned people
away. Kratty, club president, said the recent
popularity of big band music stirred interest.

"It's fun," she said. "I've always liked
dancing, and this is something new and ex-
citing to do."

Members and non members took the
classes. Many students said they enrolled in
the class to learn a new dance form.

"I like the classiness of it all," said Mike
Hodgson, December graduate who took the
class with Katie Laux, senior in journalism
and mass communications. "I think swing
dancing is a little more formal than regular
dancing. That's what appeals to me."

iw students

Kevin Siemers, senior in art and second-
ary education, said he enrolled because he
wanted to improve his dancing ability.

"It's fast paced," he said. "You get to do it
with a partner. In a sense, you get to commu-
nicate with another person in a much more
formal manner."

Due to better publicity, club membership
increased from 50 to 150 students, Kratty
said. She said officers increased club recogni-
tion by having an information booth in the K-
State Student Union and posting signs.

"With the growth of swing dancing, the
club has become a lot more active," she said.
"We're a lot more organized now."

Hernandez said although the club
started in 1997, it took a year to become
organized and get the word out to students.

He said the club provided students with
opportunities to learn different forms of
swing dancing, including the Lindy Hop
and Jive, which drew students to join. The
club sponsored several activities throughout
the year, including free lessons for members
and trips to see professional dancers.

Many students who joined the club
shared an interest in big band music and said
its renewed popularity didn't surprise them.

"Anything that people have fun doing is
worth getting back," Siemers said. "It sticks
around."

neaveniy love

Icthus members encouraged students to make
a date with God for Valentine's Day.

The Christian-based group organized a retreat,
"All About Love," for the holiday weekend to
educate students about God' s part in relationships.

George Bocox, senior in accounting, said the
retreat, at Living Water Ranch, was open to all
Icthus members.

"We are going to be covering anything up to
marriage," Bocox said. "We are looking for people
who are in relationships and teaching them how to
keep God in them. We are also looking for people
not in relationships. It will teach them what to
look for in a relationship and how to communicate
when they are in one."

Rion Russel, sophomore in family studies and
human services, said issues covered at the retreat
were important to college students.

"I think it is great for students because we are
at a point in our lives that we start to face the
reality of getting married," Russell said. "A retreat
like this can start to build a foundation for a
marriage or a relationship down the road."

During the day Saturday, Feb. 13, the more
than 50 participants were divided by gender to
discuss dating and keeping a Godly relationship.
That evening, they gathered for reflection and
worship. Sunday, they watched videos of Tommy

Nelson speeches based on the Song of Solomon.

The weekend retreat benefited Icthus and its
members, Bocox said.

"I think it was a good chance for the community
to pull away and be with each other," Bocox said.
"With the stress of school, you don't always get to
be with friends. It gives us time as Icthus to be
together and bond."

Many students, such as Russell, attended the
retreat with their significant others.

"Both of us have a desire to have a Christian-
based relationship with biblical values," Russell
said. "By attending together we can learn how
God is important in our relationship and what part
we want him to play in our relationship, too."

The retreat was helpful for learning about
one's self, Michelle Gras, senior in education,
said.

"It' s about finding our security in God and not
our significant other," she said. "I think it's good
that we will learn more about that."

Although Icthus members worried the
weekend might conflict with plans, Bocox said
the timing actually benefited them.

"It's the holiday that most people think about
who they are dating, and I think the retreat will
help them edify God in their relationship," Bocox
said. "Overall, it increased attendance."

r force major

bv moUv mersmann

For Major Steven Dorfman, summer was
anything but relaxing.

An assistant professor of aerospace stud-
ies and commandant of cadets for K-State's
Air Force ROTC program, Dorfman received
the Air Force Achievement Medal for his
work in managing and coordinating the Air
Force ROTC training camp, May 26-July 1 at
Barksdale Air Force Base in Louisiana.

"This was not an easy medal to get,"
Colonel Stan Weir, Detachment 270 Com-
mander and professor of aerospace studies,
said. "He worked 24 hours a day. He did an
outstanding job."

Dorfman and Weir arrived one week be-
fore the camp began to organize equipment
and prepare. Once the camp started, they
drilled and educated the 208 collegiate cadets.

The cadets awoke at 5:30 a.m., and as
staff, Dorfman began his day about 4:30 a.m.

Cadets followed a basic schedule, con-
sisting of physical training, drills, marches
and sports activities in the morning, fol-
lowed by academic and leadership training.
Afternoons were devoted to teaching Air
Force customs, courtesies and history.

"It's basically a 24-hour-a-day introduc-
tion to the Air Force," Weir said. "Every
cadet has to be in the Professional Officer's
Course their junior and senior year. This is

eaa

something they have to complete first."

Dorfman coordinated the camp for ca-
dets with no prior Air Force ROTC training.
Another camp helped experienced cadets.

"It does its best to catch them up. Obvi-
ously, experience means a lot," Dorfman
said. "But this should put them education-
ally, at least knowledge-wise, on the same
level as the kids who have been in the pro-
gram for two years."

Dorfman said problem-solving activities,
like obstacle courses, built leadership skills.

"A lot of the activities develop team-
work, pride in oneself and definitely chal-
lenge the individual to do something they've
never done before," Dorfman said. "It serves
as an evaluation tool for the staff to see if they
would make an effective Air Force officer."

To qualify for the Achievement Medal,
Dorfman participated in two summers of
activities training. However, Dorfman's first
experience with the camp came in 1984 when
he attended as a cadet.

The Achievement Medal was designated
for achievements beyond what was re-
quired. Weir said Dorfman did just that.

"He did an outstanding job leadership-
wise," Weir said. "He was experienced from
doing this last year, and he used that experi-
ence very well."

ate Jazz Quintet experienced something
femcollegiate musicans did. They backed up
professional performers.

The quintet played with nationally
known jazz performers — including Carmen
Bradford, Kevin Mahogany and The Van-
guard Jazz Orchestra — during the 1999 Kan-
sas State University Jazz Festival Feb. 13.
Dennis Wilson, assistant professor of
music and festival executive
director, said the Quintet's
work was important to the
performances.

"The K-State Jazz Quin-
tet is the backbone and flag-
ship of this program," Wil-
son said. "They are the clos-
est thing we have to profes-
sionals. Without them doing
the things they did during
the festival, I would not be
able to invite these artists
and have them leave their
accompanists at home."

Allowing the quintet to
work with the performers
was crucial Wilson said.

"The student connection
is the most important part
for me," he said. "My prom-
ise to them is to have them
work with the professionals
as much as possible."

The professional per-
formers had certain goals
they wanted to teach the students.

"I want them to enjoy this music,"
Bradford said. "I want them to take it seri-
ously. It's serious to sing. It's challenging,
and it's a healing experience to sing."

Doreen Comerford, vocalist for the quin-

tet and graduate student in psychology, said
the interaction with professionals during
lectures and jam sessions was priceless.

"They give clinics, and I've gone to the
vocal clinics and learned so much there,"
Comerford said. "It gives you a chance to ask
them any question you have from, 'How do
you deal with being on the road,' to any
musical questions you have."

Professionals also shared knowledge stu-
dents could not get in class, Comerford said.

"There is only so much you can learn
from a textbook," she said. "Everyday we can
go in and ask a professor about book knowl-
edge, but it is nice to have a professional here
to give us real-world knowledge."

Students involved in the quintet not only
played back-up, but Robert Roman, gradu-
ate student in music, arranged, "My One and
Only Love," which Kevin Mahogany sang
during the festival's concert.

"I've been studying jazz arrangement for
four years with Dennis Wilson, and he asked
me if I wanted to arrange a song," Roman
said. "It's really hard when you are arrang-
ing to get your music played, especially
when you are a student. To have a festival
like this and be able to have a professional
perform a song I arranged is just incred-
ible."

Other K-State jazz groups, such as Flute
Juice, Concert Jazz Ensemble, Lab A Big
Band and more than 17 ensembles from area
high schools and community colleges, also
participated in the festival.

The high school students were eligible to
earn a scholarship from Berklee College of
Music. The college awarded a scholarship to
one student from each participating school
totaling more than $10,000.

Scott Bradley, band instructor for Rock
Creek High School, said he wanted to intro-
duce his students to different types of music.

"You can go to a concert festival and
listen to concert bands all day, but there
aren't that many jazz festivals," Bradley said.
"I want to give them that opportunity to hear
other jazz bands and to get ideas that they
can work on over the next few months."

Although the main purpose of the festival
was to hone students' musical skills, another
important part was to educate the students
and the public about the roots of jazz and
those who helped shape the music, Wilson
said. To do so, Gov. Bill Graves declared the
Festival's date, Feb. 13, as Sarah Vaughan
Day throughout Kansas. Vaughan was a jazz
singer born in 1924.

During the festival's evening concert, a
previously unreleased Sarah Vaughan song,
"I Have Waited So Long" was debuted.

National Public Radio's JazzSet with
Branford Maraslis broadcast Vaughan's
song, along with the performances of
Bradford, Mahogany and the Vanguard Jazz
Orchestra.

Wilson said attracting JazzSet, a nation-
ally syndicated jazz show, was not difficult.

"The artists are top notch, all three of
them," Wilson said. "The world premiere of
Sarah Vaughan's song and the creation of
Sarah Vaughan Day in the state of Kansas
were attractive to them. I started planning
this two years ago, and it took me five min-
utes to convince them. Once I told them who
I had for them, they said, 'Wow.' '

Wilson said having the broadcast also
noted the quintet's success.

"JazzSet with Wynton Marsalis, doesn't
go around the country doing this at col-
leges," he said. "We are probably the only
one they've done this for. They do their con-
certs at Carnegie Hall, or the Lincoln Center,
or the Kennedy Center in Washington. We
have a big-time concert. This is a concert that
could also be done at Carnegie Hall, with all
the glory that Carnegie Hall brings with its
name."

for fifth ti

Once the cards were counted and reasons
given, the Livestock Judging team took
home its fifth-straight win from the National
Livestock Judging Contest in Louisville, Ky.

K-State broke the record of four consecu-
tive wins it set in 1997.

In overall individual competition, Bryan
Kasselman, senior in animal sciences and
industry, won first place and Jamie Horrie,
senior in animal sciences and industry, took
second. Both competed against 180 contes-
tants at the championship.

"It was a major accomplishment. It was
probably one of the happiest moments of my
life," Horrie said. "And if I was going to get
beat by somebody, I definitely wanted it to
be somebody on my team."

Kasselman was also pleased with his per-
formance.

"I'm just glad I could contribute that
many points to the team effort," he said. "I'd
rather for the team to win than for me to win
as an individual."

Each contestant could earn a total of 1 ,000
points. Kasselman received 945 while Horrie
scored 942.

To win points, individuals judged classes
of swine, sheep and cattle. Using judging
cards, they ranked each class of four animals
by desirable characteristics and told their
reasons for the rankings to a judge. Individu-
als' scores combined for a team score.

The day of the contest, members talked
of getting the fifth-straight win.

"Everything was really tense, and you
could feel the pressure," he said. "But the
day of the contest, we were the team to beat. "

The top five teams in each species were
announced before the overall winner at an
awards ceremony the next day.

"There's lots of time you sit there, and
you know you've won it," Horrie said. "But
this was one of those where we were all
sitting there with our fingers crossed, just
hoping we had it."

As the top five sheep and swine teams
were announced, anticipation dwindled.

"After we weren't in the top five, I wasn't
really nervous. I was disappointed,"
Kasselman said. "All I had was hope after
that. I didn't think we'd got it done."

Then the results of cattle were an-
nounced. K-State won with 1,898 out of 2,000
points, beating out second place by 34 points
— a large margin and enough to put K-State
in first place.

"It was a nail biter," Scott Schaake, team
coach and associate professor in animal sci-
ence, said. "I don't remember it ever happen-
ing like that. We were only mentioned in the
top five of one species, and yet we still win
the contest. And there were three other
schools that were in the top five in all three
species and didn't end up winning."

The city's chess club, which dissolved in
spring 1998, reestablished as K-State-Man-
hattan Chess Club in September.

"We got three students to start the club,"
Ray Paul, club president and senior in physi-
cal science, said. "We got an adviser. We
organized with a president and treasurer.
We are thinking of adding a tournament
director and advertiser, but it's too soon."

Paul said he began thinking about a new
club soon after their meeting place, Dax
Games, closed.

"I thought it was a great idea," Wendy
Slate, treasurer and graduate student in edu-
cation, said. "Being a campus organization,
we had access to a lot of people we didn't
have before."

The group started with five members in
the fall and expanded to 17 in the spring.
Some members were more dedicated than
others, Paul said.

"We have about seven who usually come
in," he said. "Under that, we have another
three or four who come in and out."

Local Manhattan residents, students and
faculty came together on Wednesdays at 6
p.m. in Union 205 to sharpen their skills.

"My family plays," Sharon Entz, sopho-
more in milling science, said. "My brother,
father and grandfather always beat me. I
went away to college and worked to improve
my game."

Members learned both casual and com-
petitive techniques, but Paul said students
could learn the basics in one meeting.

"It takes about 15 to 20 minutes to teach
the moves," Paul said. "It takes another 30
minutes to learn to use the moves and play
the game."

He said beginners benefited from attend-
ing but could not expect overnight success.

"We start to teach basic structure of the
game and the basic theory and defense,"
Paul said. "That is a stepping stone to their
creativity."

The club didn't attend any tournaments
fall 1998 because of its small numbers but
organized a small tournament for March in
Manhattan Town Center.

The club planned to use the mall tourna-
ment as a fund-raiser. In addition, members
paid $5 in dues to fund basic supplies.

"Most of the expenses are for fliers," Paul
said. "There are club sets and boards, and
books. Our library has 20 to 25 chess books
that members can check out."

Participating in the club allowed mem-
bers to socialize while expanding their
minds, Paul said.

"It's good to have some form of chess for
an academic background, " he said. "It re-
quires a lot of analytical thinking, and it's a
good recreation, especially for those who do
a lot in school."

After studying on a campus that lacked a
choir, about 15 K-State-Salina students filled
the void.

In late October, Roger Steinbrock, assis-
tant director of K-State-Salina College Ad-
vancement, met with students interested in
beginning the Salina Chorus.

"I think for a long time there were a lot of
techies who loved computers and loved gad-
gets and were totally wrapped up in that,"
Jon Watkins, chorus member and junior in
land information technology, said. "The
only reason they were here was to work on
high-tech stuff. This shows we're getting a
more diverse group of students."

Steinbrock, who sang in Men's Glee Club
as a student on the Manhattan campus, said
the group broke the misconception that K-
State-Salina students were strictly technol-
ogy-minded introverts. He said the campus
was becoming a place for more traditional
students with a variety of talents.

Watkins said he welcomed the group as
he already sang in the Kansas Wesleyan
University choir.

"It's always great to get together with
those who have the same likes and interests
in it," he said. "It was nice to see all the people
I didn't know and find out they liked to sing
as much as I did."

Watkins said the chorus wasn't up to the
caliber of the other choir he belonged to, but

that was not its purpose.

"It's more just for personal enjoyment,
just giving the students a chance," Watkins
said. "(It's) something else we can get to-
gether and do."

The choir found an audience at K-State-
Salina events, such as the Dean's Holiday
Party, the spring awards banquet and gradu-
ation, where they sang the national anthem.

"It was a really nice setting, and the stu-
dents did an awesome job," said Steinbrock,
who led the group but said he didn't deserve
the title of director. "They picked up the
music a few days before and sang a
cappella."

In addition to the recognition students
got performing, Natasha Kennedy, fresh-
man in aviation maintenance, said it helped
her adjust to college life.

"Until I got in the choir, I would sit in my
room and not socialize," she said. "After I got
in the choir, they would ask me to come hang
out with them."

After the group As first semester, Watkins
said he hoped to increase membership and
performances. He suggested targeting in-
coming students at a welcome event.

"I'd definitely like to see the numbers
grow," Watkins said. "Generally, the more
people you have, the better the sound. It's
always more fun to have more people with
the same interests."

Belonging to two organizations in need
of money gave Seiji Ikeda an idea: a fund-
raiser that would benefit the Men's Rowing
Team and Habitat for Humanity.

"We were just sitting around complain-
ing about the funds for rowing, and we de-
cided, 'Hey, why don't we do something
about it,' " Ikeda, senior in fine arts, said.
"We chose Habitat for Humanity to help us
with it because both groups had similar
needs."

Row for Humanity resulted. The event
took place 8 a.m. to 6 p.m. Feb. 16 and 17 in
the K-State Student Union Courtyard.

Ninety-six participants rowed 1.14 mil-
lion meters during the event.

"Some of the guys on the rowing team
can row up to 15,000 meters," Will Long,
Habitat for Humanity president and senior
in biological and agricultural engineering,
said. "Obviously, it's impossible for the
Habitat people to do that, but we do our best
and try to have fun."

Participants rowed on ergometers, row-
ing machines the team practiced on when
weather forced them inside.

"It's like a bike-a-thon, only people get
pledges for how far they can row on the erg
instead of how far they can bike or run,"
Megan Willey, senior in business adminis-
tration, said.

Because the men's rowing team was not a

varsity sport, the club team needed to raise
$34,000 a year to compete.

Of the net profit, 15 percent went to Habi-
tat for Humanity. The rest went to the men's,
women's and high school rowing teams.

"The set-up, structure and organization
was much better than last year," Ikeda said
"We did a good job meeting our goals."

All the money Habitat for Humanity
raised went toward the student chapter of
Habitat for Humanity in Manhattan.

"We're trying to raise about $2,000 to
$3,000 for Habitat to help us build a house.
That costs about $18,000," Long said. "Our
goal is to build a house with money from just
the Manhattan student chapter, and this
event will help us reach that goal."

To give rowers extra motivation, each
rower was randomly selected to compete on
one of four teams. The red, blue, yellow and
green teams competed to see who could row
the most meters and raise the most money.

Participants collected pledges for every
100 meters rowed and fixed donations.

Local businesses, including Dillons, New
York Bagel Shop and Streetside Records,
made contributions to the event.

"We want to give back to the commu-
nity," Amanda Kiefer, senior in political sci-
ence, said. "We're also looking for a way to
get recognized because we're such a new
sport."

Some campus organizations found dif-
ferent ways to raise money.

Park and Recreation Management Club
members earned theirs stealing from squir-
rels.

Members gathered acorns from Bur Oak
trees on campus, at Tuttle Creek State Park
and other Manhattan-area sites to sell to
nurseries.

"We scout them out really early in the fall
and decide which areas are going to be
good," said Laura Sleichter, president and
senior in park resource management. "We
try to beat the squirrels to them, which is
hard to do."

Sleichter said 20 to 30 club members gath-
ered 2,000 pounds of acorns and sold them
for 50 to 75 cents a pound.

"That's a lot of acorns, considering how
little they are," Sleichter said. "We went out
about four different times for around two
hours at a time."

The Park and Recreation Management
Club was not the only organization that
found creative ways to raise money. KSU
Metalsmithing Society members repaired
jewelry and household items for a fee.

"We basically move the studio from the
third floor of Willard Hall to the City Park in
the Pavilion for a weekend," Elliott Pujol,
adviser and professor of art, said. "We start
on Friday afternoon and stay until Sunday."

The club used the money from the spring
1999 fund-raiser to go to conferences and
bring in guest speakers.

Pujol said the club took polishing tools,
torches, welding equipment and grinders to
repair items. He said students brought in
everything from statues to earrings.

"We have a motto that we use," he said.
"We can't fix cats; we can't fix broken hearts,
but we'll fix anything else."

As a way to fund trips and other activi-
ties, the Bakery Science Club had weekly
bake sales Wednesdays from 3 to 5 p.m. on
the first floor of Shellenberger Hall.

"We bake on Tuesday nights," Melissa
Frick, vice president and junior in bakery
science and management, said. "We start
around 4 and just bake until we're done at
about 10:30."

Each week, 15 to 20 members made three
to four batches of cookies, one batch of bread
and one batch of another food, such as muf-
fins or bagels, Frick said.

"We generally sell out," she said. "If we
have monster cookies, they sell out by 3:30,
and everything else is usually gone by 4:30."

Fund-raisers were a way for members to
be involved and learn more about the organi-
zation.

"This is a way for our students to learn
more," Pujol said. "And it's a good fund-
raiser as well."

One Karate Club member learned the
self-defense sport crossed language barriers.

Takahisa Komatsu, a graduate of Hosei
University in Tokyo, came to K-State to
study English through the English Language
Program. He took and then taught karate
lessons through the club.

"Students generally come for about a
week and a half," Charlene Gibson, karate
instructor, said. "He decided to stay and
study English."

Komatsu said studying karate in the
United States didn't differ from Japan.

"Everyone knows karate, and it is one of
the most popular sports in Japan," Komatsu
said. "I am surprised that Americans know
so much about karate."

Komatsu participated as a student in the
fall and helped teach in the spring.

"He's a black belt, and it was different to
have him as a student rather than an instruc-
tor," she said.

Komatsu studied English but had diffi-
culties communicating words, Gibson said.

"We sometimes have a challenge with
the language," Gibson said. "But since all of
our techniques are in Japanese, it still works
out when he tries to get his point across."

Karate Club members practiced an an-
cient form of self-defense known as
Okinawan Gojo-Ryu Karate-Do. It origi-
nated in Japan with peasant farmers who

needed to protect themselves from danger.

"They had to disguise it and make it very
beautiful," Gibson said. "In case someone
came along and saw them, they would think
they were dancing."

The club met from 7 to 9 p.m., Mondays
and Thursdays in Ahearn Field House. In-
structors dedicated the first hour of practice
to new members and reserved the second for
advanced students.

Many members had no prior training in
self-defense sports, but others had experi-
ence in different forms of karate.

"I had no experience before coming up
here except for what I had read and saw in
the movies," Roy Monfort, sophomore in
sociology, said. "I want to get into law en-
forcement, so I thought it would be good to
help me get in shape."

Members used numbers and commands
to punctuate their workouts and learned
Japanese terms for different blocks.

"We encourage students to listen to the
count and think about it," Gibson said. "In a
short time, they can at least say the numbers
in Japanese."

Some students' previous knowledge of
karate was derived only from movies and
television, Monfort said.

"The movies tend to be a lot more flashy,"
Monfort said, "but I have a new appreciation
for Jackie Chan."

to clean lots-

Black Student Union members cared for
their adopted parking lot by picking up trash
and making sure it was presentable to cam-
pus visitors.

As the first organization to participate in
the Adopt-a-Lot Program at K-State, the club
cleaned the K-State Student Union parking
lot twice a month.

Dwain Archer, BSU adviser, said the idea
originated to help KSU Division of Facilities
clean after events, like Homecoming and
Family Weekend.

"Facilities keeps the campus clean, but
after the event is over, they need all the help
they can get," Archer said. "We help with
that. We go out and clean up."

Until other organizations agreed to join,
the group not only cared for the Union, but
also cleaned parking lots by McCain Audito-
rium and across the street from the Union.

"We've selected several lots around cam-
pus to basically pick up trash and debris,"
Archer said. "It's like the adopt-a-mile pro-
gram for interstate highways."

President Brandon Clark, junior in el-
ementary education, said about 30 of the
club's 120 members took 30 minutes to help
each time. Even if they were just passing
through, members made an effort to make

their lot look good.

"If we come across trash, we make it a
point to pick it up," he said. "It's our lot with
our name on it, and we don't want it to look
unclean."

Darwin Abbott, director of Parking Ser-
vices, said the program made students think.

"It makes people more aware. They're
less likely to throw down a Coke can or a
candy wrapper," he said. "They'll take a
little pride in the university. It's one to be
proud of. It's a pretty campus."

Clark said their sign in the Union lot,
naming BSU as the lot's adopter, raised inter-
est. Abbott said Phi Gamma Delta, Chi
Omega and Golden Key also asked to join the
program.

"We take a lot of pride in that we were the
first student organization," Clark said.
"People see our sign and now are calling to
see how they can get involved."

Clark said although the lot required up-
keep, the club enjoyed what they accom-
plished.

"We wind up having a good time," Clark
said. "We go out there and joke around and
have fun. We make it a competition of who
can pick up the most. It's a pretty fun experi-
ence."

gtime Willie retires his job.

lie J
fou I

e Superman/Clark Kent act ended after
our years.

Jamie Adcock, senior in hotel and restau-
rant management, revealed his identity as K-
State's varsity mascot, Willie the Wildcat,
when he retired after the Big 12 Champion-
ship football game in St. Louis Dec. 5.

Adcock first tried out for the position
with the cheerleading squad in fall 1995, and
he said he didn't realize Willie's identity was
supposed to be a secret.

"You're not supposed to tell anyone. I
didn't know that," Adcock said. "So people
knew that I'd tried out. Then the first game
came, and everybody wanted me to go tail-
gate, and I couldn't go. The people see me on
the sidelines, and they want to know what's
going on. It's tough to keep under wraps."

Adcock said his feistiness and creative
abilities helped him think of ways to get the
crowd's attention at games. He said standing
on the Dev Nelson Press Box at football
games, riding his motorcycle to appearances
in costume and sledding down the aisles at
Bramlage Coliseum were potentially dan-
gerous situations, but that didn't dissuade
him.

"1 get up on the press box, and if I fall, I'm
a splattered pancake," Adcock said. "I never
worry about self-preservation. It's all about
the show."

Riding a motorcycle to appearances and
during games while in costume was one
tradition Adcock said he started but didn't
know if it would continue.

"It's hard to ride a motorcycle with the
head on," he said. "A cop called and said I
shouldn't be doing that. They didn't think I
could see very well, and you can't, but you

can at the same time. I could see well enough
to do what I needed to do, and people aren't
going to hurt Willie."

Adcock said he missed being Willie, but
he retired because the time commitment re-
quired wouldn't be conducive to graduating
in the spring and finding a job.

"I've been here a lot longer than I
should've been, and it's because of the little
furry guy. I can only take about 12 hours a
semester when I should've been taking 16 or
17 to get out," Adcock said. "As fun as it is,
I'd like to be Willie for the rest of my life. That
would be a riot."

Adcock wrote a year-end report listing
about 150 appearances he participated in
during his last year as Willie.

"I understand he had other commit-
ments, and he's a student and wanted to
graduate," Jim Muller, associate director of
Bramlage Coliseum, said. "It's a heavy time
commitment, and you have to be in good
physical condition.

"It's a lot of work when you do it right
like he did," he said. "He put a lot of work
into it. He made Willie a unique character."

The junior varsity Willie inherited the
varsity position when Adcock retired. The
new Willie had been the junior varsity mas-
cot for two years and worked closely with
Adcock, who gave advice on how to play the
role.

"I'm scared to not have him around be-
cause he's been there and done that. Any

scared that if something goes bad or I need
something at the last minute, I'll have no idea
who to call. He was very good at it."

Adcock said he wanted his replacement
to get big-game experience at the Builders
Square Alamo Bowl Dec. 29. He also wanted
to see a game from a different perspective.

"For the four years I've been here, I
haven't really been able to watch a game,"
Adcock said. "I've been on the sideline. I
enjoyed our team, and I really thought we
had the best team in the nation. I just wanted
to be a fan for once and not have to sign
autographs and catch the last minute of a big
play instead of seeing the whole thing."

The loss to Purdue was hard to take,
Adcock said.

"Over the years I've been here, I've got-
ten such a relationship with the guys," he
said of the football team. "I don't know if me
being out there would've helped them at all
because I would see them in the locker room
before they came out and stuff. I'm not say-
ing I wasn't Willie, and I lost the game for us
all. There's nothing you can really do in the
stands. I could've had a part on the field, I
think."

Students practice belly dancing
after being instructed by Afani-
Ruzik. "It's a Middle Eastern
dance," she said. "It's very unlike
any western dance. It's very
similar to Spanish dancing." The
class was open to members and
nonmembers. It cost $5, and the
money was used to send
members to conventions and
bring in guest speakers. "Part of
the reason we did belly dancing
was as a fund-raiser,"
Baughman said. "We want to
send people to nationals." The
national convention was
sponsored by the American
Anthropological Association. "It's
a social and academic club,"
Baughman said. "It's open to
anyone, not just anthropology
majors." (Photo by Jeff Cooper)

Learning expression through dance.

Instead of wearing harem-girl pants and hal-
ter tops, Anthropology Club members wore
jeans and T-shirts while learning the art of
belly dancing.

"A lot of people think I wear those clothes
when I dance," Ferdoas Afani-Ruzik, sopho-
more in political science and anthropology,
said. "I actually have a pretty conservative
dress that I wear."

Afani-Ruzik taught a three-hour belly
dancing class, sponsored by the Anthropol-
ogy Club, Nov. 19 in the International Stu-
dent Center.

She said many people had stereotypical
images of belly dancers — that they wore
little clothing and danced in rooms full of
men. She said because of these images, the
club was reluctant to sponsor the class.

"Traditionally, there's been a harem-girl
stereotype," Afani-Ruzik said. "That was a
big fear we had when we started the class.
But once we got everyone there, we realized
most of them just wanted to learn the dance."

H.C. Abudaqeh, vice president and se-
nior in anthropology, said the club wanted to
bring an interesting activity to students.

"We made it really clear this was some-
thing for fun and not something risque,"
Abudaqeh said. "Ferdoas spoke about how
this was not what many people thought of
stereotypical belly dancing but something
women do to relax and have fun."

Afani-Ruzik learned the dance while she
lived in Saudi Arabia during elementary and
junior high school.

"My father was an architect, and we lived
a lot in the Middle East," she said. "I learned
the dance first from an Egyptian. The Egyp-
tians are excellent dancers."

Afani-Ruzik performed the dance at
weddings and parties in the Middle East, but

she said moving to the United States gave her
fewer opportunities to dance.

"It's not the type of thing you bring to a
bar," she said. "If you belly danced in a bar,
people would think of it as a strange thing.
You just don't do it."

Abudaqeh said although they had reser-
vations about teaching what many people
considered an exotic dance, they wanted to
educate students about different cultures.

"It's mainly a way to familiarize people
with the dance and a different way to express
yourself," Anne Baughman, vice president
and senior in anthropology and biology,
said. "We did it because it's fun and enjoy-
able."

Afani-Ruzik said traditional belly danc-
ing took place in a group of women at parties
and other social settings.

"Everyone thinks belly dancing is for
men to enjoy," she said. "But it's meant for
women. It's a huge way to relax and relieve
stress."

Most of the time, men were not allowed
to watch the dance being performed, Afani-
Ruzik said.

"Over there, there are no guys watch-
ing," she said. "Here, it's a little less conser-
vative, and if we know the guys, we dance
with them sometimes."

Belly dancing originated in the Middle
East and combined hand and body move-
ments in a flowing pattern.

"It's very flowing and rhythmic at the
same time, which is an interesting combina-
tion," Abudaqeh said. "It uses body move-
ments that very few other dances use, so it
appears very exotic."

Afani-Ruzik said the dance included five

basic steps, which could be modified to cre-

ate variety.

"If you know the steps well enough, you
can put them all together," she said. "You
don't even have to be that coordinated."

However, Afani-Ruzik said those used to
American styles of dancing had to learn new
steps and movements.

"I found it was a very challenging form of
dance," Baughman said. "They use muscles
that we typically don't use in American
dance."

Afani-Ruzik said after students became
accustomed to dancing with their abdomen
muscles, most had no problem performing
the dance.

"They picked it up very well," she said.
"Some were really good, and some had no
idea, but they picked it up very fast."

The high interest in the cultural aspect of
the dance surprised Afani-Ruzik, she said.

"Over there, it's just a normal thing," she
said. "Over here, it's a big cultural thing that
people are very interested in."

Abudaqeh said the club sponsored the
class as a way to educate students.

"It's something different that we can't
experience normally," she said. "It's some-
thing we can't provide and participate in
normally. We wanted to have that."

Abudaqeh said sponsoring the class
helped fulfill a club goal.

"That's one of the missions of our club,"
she said. "To bring cultural awareness to our
community and bring them something they
wouldn't otherwise get to see."

in horse judging—

The Horse Judging Team accomplished
two firsts at the 1998 All- American Quarter
Horse Congress.

The team beat 22 collegiate teams Oct. 16
in Columbus, Ohio, to take first place and be
the first K-State team to win the competition.

Julie Wolf, coach and graduate student in
animal sciences and industry, said the team's
performance did not surprise her.

"I knew that the girls were very talented
individuals, and I knew they had the capabil-
ity of doing well," Wolf said. "We were com-
peting against other talented teams, but I had
confidence in our team."

A quarter-horse judging team consisted
of five members who judged 12 classes of
four horses. The teams judged six halter
classes and six performance classes. Halter
classes focused on the horse's proportions,
structure, balancing and muscling. The com-
petitors could also score points through an
oral reasons category, which allowed them
two minutes to defend their scores.

"You learn to stand in front of someone
under a lot of pressure and how to make a
decision and stand by it," Teresa Douthit,
senior in animal and sciences and industry,
said.

A panel of five impartial judges rated the
horses, determining the teams' scores.

The team finished fourth in halter and

second in both performance and reasons,
earning a first-place finish overall.

Additionally, three members placed in
the top 10 overall. Jennifer Hotchkiss, junior
in animal sciences and industry, placed fifth
overall; Douthit placed sixth; and Mandy
McCormick, senior in animal sciences and
industry, placed ninth.

Wolf said she was impressed by team
members' efforts.

"The kids don't get school credit forjudg-
ing, so it's on a voluntary basis," she said.
"But it makes it better because they are more
dedicated and more focused."

The team usually practiced three days a
week, but they also practiced on weekends if
a competition was close, Wolf said. Practices
consisted of studying videotapes of horse
shows and learning how to judge horses.

Maggie Martin, sophomore in animal sci-
ences and industry, said she managed time
carefully to allow for practice and classwork.

"Practices ended up being longer than I
first thought," she said. "I would try and
have everything done before I went to prac-
tice."

Martin said the hard work paid off.

"It was worth all the effort. I regret that it
is over," she said. "I met great people and
gained skills that I can use throughout the
rest of my life."

potter s gui
draws students

The Potter's Guild gave students study-
ing ceramics the opportunity to sell their
artwork and attend a national conference
where they could make a name for them-
selves.

"One of the primary purposes of the
Potter's Guild is to allow undergraduate and
graduate students to sell their pots and raise
money so that they can attend the NCECA
Conference," Jerod Morris, co-president and
graduate student in fine arts, said. "It's a
good place to make connections for future
jobs."

The annual National Council for Educa-
tion of Ceramic Arts Conference took place
March 16-20 in Columbus, Ohio. Money
raised through the Potter's Guild enabled 15
students to attend.

The Potter's Guild sold their pottery and
that of other artists at three annual sales, one
in the fall, one before Christmas and one in
the spring. The sales usually took place in
front of the K-State Student Union.

"We usually sell small pots and bowls for
around $5 each," Mika Negishi, graduate
student in fine arts, said. "As a whole, we

usually earn a few thousand dollars from the
sales to go toward our trip. It's enough to
cover the cost for flying and hotel rooms."

The money earned from the sales was
split between the Potter's Guild and the indi-
vidual artist.

"The person selling their pot through us
gets 70 percent of the price, "Morris said.
"We get 30 to cover all of our costs and go
toward our trip to NCECA."

The Potter's Guild also raised money
with a raffle Dec. 3. A $3 raffle ticket bought
a chance to win a piece of art.

"The prizes can be anything from an $800
gallery piece to a functional piece done by a
graduate student," Negishi said. "We have
pieces donated by graduate students, faculty
members, former students and visiting art-
ists."

The raffle, sales and demonstrations at
the Union helped the group gain visibility on
campus.

"We have demonstrations at open-house
day in the Union," Yoshiro Ikeda, club ad-
viser, said. "We inform incoming students
about the art program and what we do."

After 10 months developing a prototype to
enter in the Food Technologists Student As-
sociation Product Development Competition,
the Food Science and Technology Club almost
lost its chance to compete when the product was
missing before final competition.

"We had the product sitting by the posters.
We saw it in a box. It was clearly marked, but it
disappeared," said Fadi Aramouni, team adviser
and associate professor of food science. "It was
quite suspicious. Maybe someone thought it was
samples."

During the last day of the June 20-24
competition in Atlanta, team members searched
through dumpsters and talked to the custodial
staff, but they could not find their product, the
Chicotilla.

"We weren't sure what happened," Indira
Reddy , graduate research assistant and team mem-
ber, said. "I immediately contacted the person in
charge of maintenance. I gave him the de-
scription of the box; he radioed others to look for
it. He took us to the trash compactor.

"We weren't sure if someone had taken it on
purpose or accident, or if the janitor had thrown it
away by accident," shesaid. "We basically scoured
the entire conference area."

Team members unanimously decided to make
the prototype again with pre-packaged, rather
thanhomemade, ingredients. They had two hours

to buy the ingredients at a local grocery store and
make the product in a team member's hotel room.

"We said, 'We'll go to the store and buy
everything,' " Khaled Khatib, graduate student in
food science, said. "(The team) did a great job
making it from nothing. (They) didn't have the
right materials. We asked the hotel manager for a
microwave oven."

The team was able to use the microwave for
the pre-preparation of the product, which was a
homemade tortilla flavored with herbs and spices
wrapped around a sweet and spicy raisin filling.
The item was prepared in a pan the hotel provided.
Then the members wrote out baking instructions
for the hotel cook to follow.

"We made a lot, but we only needed two
pieces," Reddy said. "Many weren't desirable,
but we had a lot to choose from."

The disappearing product was only one
defining characteristic of the Food Science Team.
It was the smallest team out of the 20 finalists and
invested less than $500, compared to the thousands
other teams used in developing prototypes.

Despite the challenges, the team placed third
for the third consecutive year, making it the only
team to rank in the top three every year of
competition.

"The judges commented on the character they
showed," Aramouni said. "We were very proud
of them."

after sundown-

The Wildcat Walk Escort Service walked
farther than ever fall semester.

In its second year as a campus-wide pro-
gram to walk students to their destinations
safely at night, Wildcat Walk more than
tripled its semester average of walks per
month with 34 walks in October.

"When the freshmen come through ori-
entation now, they get bludgeoned with our
number over and over," Travis Johnson, co-
ordinator of the service and senior in com-
puter science, said.

Wildcat Walk also increased its advertis-
ing in the Collegian, making its number, 395-
SAFE, more prominent.

Brandy Oak, senior in agriculture eco-
nomics, said she thought that contributed to
the increased service.

"I think it's because we're doing a lot
more publicity," Oak said. "I think especially
people in the greek community have become
more aware of it and use it a lot more than
they have in the past. Plus, campus safety is
also a big issue. I think people have been
more scared to walk at night."

Johnson said the program began in the
Derby Complex about eight years ago when
volunteers' names were pulled from a jar at
the front desk when students needed escorts.

The program expanded to the Kramer
Complex before the Student Governing As-
sociation stepped in with funding and
broadened the program to the entire cam-
pus. It was based out of Hale Library's 24-
hour study room.

Johnson said when they received a call,
the man and woman volunteer escorts on
duty picked up a radio, arm badges and
photo IDs before escorting students up to six
blocks off campus.

"We're the only school in the Big 12 that's
been able to keep an escort program running
for more than one year," Johnson said. "And
ours has been going on six, eight years now. "

He said other schools had trouble estab-
lishing a volunteer base. But getting students
to use the service was a bigger problem than
finding volunteers to staff it, Johnson said.

"Usually we do not do more than one
escort on a shift," Adam Sisson, freshman in
biology, said. "There aren't as many as we'd
like there to be."

Johnson said students used the service
most Mondays and Tuesdays because of
tests those nights.

"I encourage people to call," Sisson said,
"because we need the support, not just for
volunteers but from people calling in."

Events help students discuss death

ampus organizations sponsored events Oct.
5 to help students deal with a tragedy.

Students gathered at a candlelight vigil,
gay-awareness program and memorial to
address concerns sparked by the death of a
21-year-old Wyoming college student. Mat-
thew Shepard, a gay man, died Oct. 12 after
being severely beaten, tied and left in near-
freezing temperatures.

Melissa Rodenbeek, instructor for the PI-
LOTS program, helped organize a candle-
light vigil Oct. 12 in the K-State Student
Union free-speech zone. She said the vigil
supported similar memorial events in
Wichita and gave people a meeting place to
talk about the incident.

"I think it gave people a chance to take a
moment to reflect on Matthew's life as an
individual," Rodenbeek said. "Since it hap-
pened in a small community like Manhattan
where everyone smiles and is friendly, ev-
eryone was asking, 'How could something
so horrific happen?' and 'What can be done
so it doesn't happen again?' "

About 30 people attended the vigil, but
Rodenbeek said the event made others aware
support was available.

"The free-speech zone is there for stu-
dents to express a point of view that may not
otherwise get expressed, but a lot of times it
is seen as a negative," she said. "This let
people know there was support and a place
to go to talk about the issue without being
judged. I think it made people more comfort-
able talking about it."

Students had another opportunity to talk
about the death at Kansas State University

Association of Residence Halls' all-hall gay-
awareness program Oct. 13 at Marlatt Hall.

Jennifer Buchanan, KSUARH multi-
cultural program coordinator, said they
scheduled the program to coincide with
National Coming Out Day Oct. 11, but
Shepard's death was also discussed.

"Because the Matthew Shepard incident
was fresh in everyone's minds, a lot of people
asked about safety on campus," Buchanan,
senior in English, said. "They were con-
cerned with the probability that something
like that could happen here at K-State."

Bisexual and Gay and Lesbian Society
members served as panelists for the pro-
gram. After telling about their experiences
coming out, they asked for questions from
the audience.

Paul Donovan, graduate student in col-
lege student personnel, was a panelist and
said he wanted to provide an example as
well as answers.

"I hoped to not only get the word out and
educate people about gay, lesbian and bi-
sexual people, but also to serve as a beacon of
hope for people in the halls who are gay," he
said. "I know what it is like to be gay and live
in that environment. I sure would have liked
to have a program like that when I was
there."

Not all residents appreciated the pro-
gram, however, Buchanan said. She said
many residents opposed the event, and she
heard some residents formed a hetero-
sexual-awareness group in response.

program, and I can't be sure that it was
because of the program, but it seemed to be a
huge coincidence," Buchanan said. "Both
hall directors were at the program at that
time, so it was not a planned fire drill."

Although the gay-awareness program
was disrupted, the Oct. 15 memorial at All
Faiths Chapel went as planned. BGLS spon-
sored the service, which more than 80 stu-
dents, faculty and community members at-
tended.

Donovan said it was good to see everyone
pull together.

"I thought it was a very beautiful ser-
vice," he said. "It was heart warming to see

was heart a11 of the suPPort for some-

one we had never even met. "
Mary Renee Smith, BGLS
president and junior in
speech, said the memorial
gave closure to Shepard's
life and provided an oppor-
tunity for people to talk.

Talking about issues was
the first step in solving them,
Pat Bosco, dean of student
life, said.

"It's important for K-
State to pause and reflect on this hideous
tragedy," Bosco said at the memorial. "I hope
that those in attendance as well as those who
read this will be reminded that silence kills.
It's important for us to speak up when we see
or hear injustices in our home, school, church
or where we work."

Shepard's death showed intolerance can
start at any level, said Jeremy Mittel, BGLS
vice president and senior in interior design.

"It didn't start with just a beating," he
said. "It starts with jokes and comments. It
ends in a beating."

Campus radio station DB92 became Wild-
cat 91.9 when turned over to the students.

Before, a station manager ran KSDB-FM
91.9 with a student staff. Student Senate said
an organization partially supported by stu-
dent fees should be student run, and Jeremy
Claeys, junior in journalism and mass com-
munications, was hired as program director.

The changes came after Len Potillo,
former station manager, was dismissed in
the fall. The personnel matter was still under
investigation in February, Todd Simon, di-
rector of the A.Q. Miller School of Journalism
and Mass Communications, said.

Running the station allowed students to
expand their education, Claeys said.

"Now that it is run by students, it's an
educational experience," he said. "We have a
true laboratory setting for people to learn
broadcast journalism."

The radio station canceled shows playing
specific genres of music at various intervals
and began playing a mix of music through-
out the day. Claeys said this format made
Wildcat 91.9 like a mainstream radio station.

"It's better overall," said Drew Maenche,
DJ Drew and sophomore in journalism and
mass communications. "It appeals to a
whole mass audience now. When we had all
the specialty shows, it kind of segregated our
audience, and now we are appealing to a
majority of people."

Although Claeys said the majority of the
station's target listeners preferred the
change, Black Student Union members were
upset when the urban music show moved
from 5-9 p.m. to 11 p.m. -3 a.m. Simon made
an executive decision in February to move
the show to 8 p.m. -midnight.

"We should 've talked to the minority
students first," Simon said. "I thought the
student staff and BSU would reach an agree-
ment, but they didn't."

Simon said he wanted to leave decisions
to the staff in the future. The station adjusted
disc jockey's timeslots to accommodate the
change, because some didn't know enough
about urban music, Claeys said.

"We thought it would be the best ever
semester for campus radio," he said. "This is
a minor setback, and we will move forward. "

The new system gave students experi-
ence needed after graduation, Claeys said.

"You have the ability to learn what it's
like to be on the air in a real station," he said.
"The broadcast experiences are greater now
because students have more control over
what's going on here."

Despite moving the urban show, Claeys
said audience response had increased.

"Most of the feedback we've gotten has
been very positive," he said. "We've gotten a
lot more people calling in with requests."

K-State-Salina students earned admiration as the "big
kids" when they went to Schilling Elementary School each
week to mentor first through fourth graders.

The HOSTS program, Helping One Student To Succeed,
paired students who needed extra help developing reading
skills with adults from the community.

"I go for an hour, and I work with a first grader and a third
grader, and we help them to read better," Melisa Woods,
mentor and freshman in airway sciences, said. "They have
assignment sheets, and we help them with their assignments
and vocabulary."

K-State-Salina students joined the effort when Margie
Carrier, Schilling's HOSTS teacher, asked K-State-Salina
Ambassadors for help.

"Most of them were very, very positive and asked won-
derful questions," she said of her presentation to the group.
"A couple had been mentors in high school."

Carrier said they requested a grant for the program
during the summer, and things got underway in November.

"The program now takes the place of the reading pro-
gram," she said. "We just wanted to find a way to help our
children succeed who were at risk or falling a little behind."

Mentors went through lesson plans including reading,
literature, vocabulary and writing.

"They'd pick a book, and they would read out loud,"
Kevin Herndon, fall mentor and sophomore in airway sci-
ence, said. "Some of the words were too big, so we had to
teach them how to divide the word up and sound it out."

Forty-three of the elementary school's students had men-
tors, which meant Carrier needed adults to fill 129 half-hour
slots Tuesday through Thursday each week. Eleven students
and one faculty member at K-State-Salina helped fill those
spots.

Carrier said the mentors' time made a difference for her
students.

"The biggest progress is for the child who is very shy or
withdrawn is becoming more of a risk taker," Carrier said.
"With some kids, I've seen great progress."

In addition to progress students made, she said the adults
gained a lot from the experience, and she appreciated their
help.

"They aren't education majors. Their fields or interests
are in other areas, but I think they realize the importance of
reading," Carrier said. "That is really neat that they can see
that not just in their field, reading opens up so many doors."

Sensitive subject matter did not stop the
Ebony Theatre group from producing two
shows in the fall.

The plays "The Wine in the Wilderness"
and "Rooms in the Dark" addressed mi-
sogyny, racism, abortion and stereotypes.

"At first, I was like, T don't know? How
are people going to react?' " Tiffany Lee,
sophomore in theater and business, said.
"You don't find a lot of theaters that address,
quote unquote, real topics."

The troupe performed "Rooms in the
Dark," by Ntozake Shange, during Violence
Against Women Awareness Week, Nov. 1-6.

"The play covered so many stories that
were personal to a lot of people," Donna
Davenport, director and senior in theater,
said. "If anything, it (the purpose) was for
women to love themselves in their woman-
hood and for men to begin to understand
women's experience."

Scenes from "Liliane: Resurrection of the
Daughter" alternated with poems from "for
colored girls who have considered suicide/
when the rainbow is enuf."

" 'Liliane' was about a woman going
through therapy," Davenport said. "There
were a number of instances in her life. She
lost her best friend to a man who loved her.
Her mother left her father for another man,
and he told her she was dead. Basically, it's
about a misogynist society."

The troupe also performed "The Wine
and the Wilderness," by Alice Childress. It
was a play about a black male artist who was
raised in the suburbs and created three
paintings representing black women.

"The first was the epitome of black wom-
anhood," Davenport said. "The second was
of a young girl, and it was the idea of girl-
hood. The third, which was not finished, was
of a ghetto woman."

The artist met and fell in love with a
woman resembling the woman in his third
painting. Lee, who played that woman, said
the topics the play addressed were familiar.

"This was harder than most shows be-
cause the stereotypes held against my char-
acter were the same stereotypes I could re-
late to," she said.

The actors weren't the only ones who
responded to the material, Lee said.

"I remember one day, the guy playing
opposite me said something really sexist,"
Lee said. "The whole crowd went, 'Oh my
goodness. I can't believe that.' "

In addition to stimulating audiences to
think, the roles gave the actors an opportu-
nity to voice their opinions and beliefs.

"Ebony Theatre is an excellent opportu-
nity for ethnic students to speak out through
theater," Chris Sanford, lighting operator
and senior in English literature, said. "It
gives them a chance to express themselves."

medieval

Group performs battles of history.

llprds clashed with shields as fighters wear-
^■iKg full armor fought in the bear pit. Other
fighters waited while women and children
milled about, singing, dancing, cooking and
sewing, all reliving the Middle Ages at the
Regional Fighting Practice.

The Society for Creative Anachronism
helped people in Manhattan and across the
world relive medieval times.

"There are a lot of different groups that
look at history. Many of those are re-creation
— taking an exact episode of history and
recreating it," Cindy Kraus, SCA member
and alumna, said. "We take
the creation part and don't
put the 're' in front of it be-
cause we create new, based
on the old rules and mod-
els."

The organization was
broken into kingdoms. The
Manhattan-area branch,
called the Shire of Spinning
Winds, was included in the
Kingdom of Calontir. There
were 54 members in the local
chapter, including 14 stu-
dents and many alumni. The
kingdom included Kansas,
Nebraska, Iowa, Missouri and part of Arkan-
sas.

SCA chose parts of the medieval culture
and times that interested them.

"We create the Middle Ages without the
plagues, the bugs and all the bad stuff,"
Joanna Rouse, graduate student in English,
said. "There is a chivalric ideal, and we are
able to celebrate the arts. There is something
for everybody."

Members adopted a Middle Ages per-
sona.

"To play your persona, you have to know
about it, so everyone involved is pretty much
like a history major," Ann Marie Clay, fresh-

members use a variety of equip-
ment in their battles including hel-
mets, elbow cops, gorgets and
gauntlets. Members met for

man in art and history, said. "We try to be as
accurate as possible."

The characters ranged in creativity from
Native Americans and Aztec warriors to
Japanese samurais, and some members de-
veloped their persona immediately, Michael
Prohaska, Ogden resident, said.

"We don't try to contain creativity," he
said. "We only require that everything be
historical."

Alumnus Hal Kraus said many people
wrongly compared SCA to the Kansas City
Renaissance Festival because of the similari-
ties in time period and costumes.

"The festival is a performance organiza-
tion, and they're professionals who make a
living performing to audiences," he said. "In
the SCA, the emphasis is on participation."

The group earned recognition for its
fighting practices and tournaments, Cindy
Kraus said. SCA demonstrated fighting in
Manhattan's Little Apple Festival for the
fourth year.

"The fighting is on an honor system,"
Mike Burnett, Manhattan resident, said. "If
you feel like a blow just glanced over you,
you can keep fighting. If, for instance, you
feel like it really cut into your arm, you have
to fight without using that arm."

Minimum armor standards ensured
safety and included a helmet with a one-inch
bar plate, protection for elbows, wrists,
hands, kidneys and groin, knees covered,
close-toed shoes, and metal covering the
neck.

"We have general specifications, or
safety standards, " Prohaska said. "Despite
us whacking each other, we've never had
anyone die. We've only had injuries."

Prohaska said bruises were the most
common injury, and other injuries were a
result of weak armor.

"If you're going to get hurt in this sport,

In the midst of battle, Alan Horn
and Josh Warren, both Salina
residents, move to strike swords.
SCA began in 1966 when a
group of people in Berkeley,
Calif., wanted a theme for a
party. Following the party, the
Californians incorporated the
idea into a nonprofit educational
society. The organization was
divided into separate kingdoms,
and the Manhattan branch was
known as the Shire of Spinning
Winds and was part of the
Kingdom of Calontir. (Photo by

it's usually a finger bone that is broken,"
Prohaske said. "Usually a gauntlet fails."

The person who wore the armor usually
was the one who built it. The only items the
members bought were helmets and gaunt-
lets.

"The material of choice for cheap armor is
unsplit cowhide that's been soaked in wax,"
Prohaska said. "Or for people who wear a
cover up on the outside of their armor, they
use a chemical barrel. The plastic is cheap
and solid, and it doesn't rot. We have to
figure out how to make it work."

Weapons were also cre-
ated with modern materials.
Swords were made of rattan,
which was similar in weight
ratio to steel.

During a fight or battle, a
marshal supervised the par-
ticipants and their armor. If
the armor appeared to be too
weak or fall off, the marshal
stopped the fighting imme-
diately by yelling "hold."

The tournaments had
different set ups, including
double or single elimination
and bear-pit fighting, where
fighters continued until they
lost or were too tired to con-
tinue.

"All the stuff we do is real," Burnett said.
"We don't pretend fight."

The society participated in other activi-
ties typical of the period, including cooking,
making armor and maps, calligraphy, sew-
ing and embroidery.

"My mom, when I first started SCA, like
a lot of parents, thought I was in a cult or
something," Billie Reuss, senior in architec-
tural engineering and French, said. "I knew
I'd won when a year later I went home and
was going to sleep, and I heard my mom tell
my dad, 'They taught her how to cook, and
she can sew now.' "

Besides weekly meetings and fighting
practices, summers gave students more of a
chance to participate.

"During the summer, we have some
wars. The War of Lilies is a large medieval
campout in which everyone's dressed head
to toe for nine days," Clay said. "The best
way to learn about it is to live it, and that's
what we do as well."

THE PLAYERS

Sophomore newcomer,

Korene Hinds, ended her sea-
son strong, as she was the
Wildcats' top finisher in the
last four meets. She finished
sixth at the Big 12 Champion-
ships, and her season ended
witha27th-placefinish inthe
NCAA Championships Nov.
23 at Rim Rock Farm in
Lawrence. She ran the 5, 000-
meter course in 17 minutes,
30.48 seconds.

On Sept. 29, the NCAA

named Annie Wetterhus,
sophomore in mathematics,
to the 1997 Academic All-
America cross-country team.
She also received special
mention as one of six runners
with a 4.0 grade point aver-
age. On the cross-country
course, she was the team's
top finisher in four of the
eight meets, culminating
with a 113th-place finish at
the NCAA Championships.

The week before the Oct. 31

Big 12 Championships in Lin-
coln, Neb., senior Zach Davies
was in no condition to be
competing with the
conference's best. "I was
starting to get sick. I had no-
ticed things weren't quite
right," Davies said. "I didn't
run the entire week before
the meet." Despite the pain in
his left leg, he ran the race and
finished in 33rd place overall
and third on the team with a
time of 25:46.

women claim k-state's first big 12 athletic
championship while men improve steadily

Women's Cross Courtry

- ^Tt was a year of firsts for the women's cross country team.

The Wildcats earned their first Big 12 title, took first place at the 1998 Midwest
Regional Championships, and Coach Randy Cole made his first NCAA National
Championship team appearance.

"They're a talented bunch, eager to do well," Cole said. "What's exciting is they still
have a lot to learn. That boded well for nationals, and it bodes well for the future."

On Oct. 31 in Lincoln, Neb., the Wildcats sped into the record books by being the first
K-State team to win a Big 12 Championship.

The Wildcats clinched the title with a combined score of 78 — 21 points better than
Colorado and 32 better than third-place Missouri. The win was the team's first confer-
ence title since 1992 and its third conference championship ever.

"It feels pretty good," assistant coach Michael Smith said. "All we asked is for the girls
to run to the best of their abilities, and when they do, that can bring the championship."

Sophomore Korene Hinds led the way for the Wildcats in the Big 12 Championships
with a sixth-place finish. Sophomore Amanda Crouse and freshman Ekaterini
Fotopoulou placed seventh and 15th respectively. Sophomore Annie Wetterhus, who
placed second and first in two out of her first three meets, helped pace K-State with an
llth-place finish.

"It's a great accomplishment," Smith said. "We're not surprised. We were quite
certain that our girls were good enough to be in the top three."

At the Midwest Regional Championships Nov. 14 in Wichita, the Wildcats shattered
any doubt they were for real by winning the title and clinching a berth in the NCAA
Championships.

Hinds led the way for the Wildcats once again, placing sixth, while Wetterhus and
Amanda Crouse contributed with ninth and 21st.

Then the Wildcats made their 10th NCAA Cross Country Championship appear-
ance, ranking K-State seventh on the NCAA list.

Despite finishing 13th at the NCAA Championships at Rim Rock Farm Nov. 23 in
Lawrence, the Wildcats had several runners who fared well, including Hinds, who
grabbed 27th place.

"Korene Hinds ran extremely well," Cole said. "In this kind of race, everybody
counts, and our people were fairly poised for a big event."

With K-State capping off a season that featured a Big 12 crown and four first-place
titles, Wetterhus said the season's outcome shocked her.

"We knew we would be good, but we didn't know how good we would be," she said.
"We had a great season, going out and finishing 13th in the nation. That is something to

the same day," Stover said. "In that particular race, we weren't strung apart. We stuck together,
and as a result, we had the best race all season as a team."

The effort of team members during the race exceeded expectations, senior Zach Da vies said.

"As far as the team goes, we did everything above and beyond what we were supposed to
do," Davies said about the team's performance at the Big 12 Championships. "We got every
ounce of effort out of every athlete."

Sophomore Brandon Jessop topped off his season by running to a team-leading 10th place
with a time of 24 minutes, 55.9 seconds on the 5,000-meter course.

Senior Paul Birnbaum, Davies and Stover finished with 28th, 33rd and 38th places respectively,
after running together in their own pack.

The Wildcats clinched the fifth-place spot with a total score of 153. They improved in the
final Big 12 standings by four spots from the previous season.

Davies said the fifth-place team finish was significant because they did it with teamwork
and effort rather than raw talent.

"With the exception of Brandon, no one on this team is a standout," Davies said. "We're just
a bunch of Kansas kids going out to try their butts off everyday."

Two weeks later at the NCAA Midwest Regional Championships in Wichita, K-State took
10th place. Jessop once again led the Wildcat threat with a third-place finish and time of 31 :01 .70
on the 10,000-meter course.

"The men ran steady but came up short for the goal of a top-five team finish," Coach Randy
Cole said. "I was real impressed with Brandon's effort. He ran a near flawless race."

With that run, Jessop qualified for the NCAA Championships, where he took 97th place.

Cole said the future would be positive after Jessop's finish at the NCAA Championships.

"I was pleased with his performance," Cole said. "Overall, the future looks really good for
the Kansas State Wildcats."

senior shows wildcat newcomers the way to
the ncaa central regional in spring season

• ►When the spring tennis season started, there was a group of freshmen poised to
become the stars of the team. But, senior Yana Dorodnova had other ideas.

She withstood the challenges of freshmen Eva Novotna, Natalia Farmer and Anna
Pampoulova and became the second All- American in K-State tennis history.

"Yana was clearly the team leader," Coach Steve Bietau said. "She took care of
business on her court, then took a very deep interest in how the entire team was doing
and how the team could win."

At the Big 12 Championships, April 24, 1998, Kansas eliminated the Wildcats in the
second round with a 5-3 score. Despite being eliminated, the team received an at-large bid
to the NCAA tournament. But New Mexico ended the Wildcat's season in the first round
of the Central Regional on May 13, 1998, at Provo, Utah, 5-3.

"This was one of the better teams ever at K-State," Bietau said. "We reached the
NCAAs for the second time in three years."

One of the important factors for the team's success was Dorodnova's leadership and
talent, Novotna said.

"She has a lot of experience and helped out a lot with advice," Novotna said. "She
helped everyone. She was the leader."

At the beginning of the season, though, Dorodnova had not been certain how it would
turn out.

"I wasn't sure at all that I would be No. 1 in the fall," Dorodnova said. "But as time
went by, I realized that I had improved so much that I could still be No. 1."

On Feb. 21, 1998, Dorodnova beat Anna Svedenhov of Utah for her third consecutive
win over a nationally-ranked player.

Dorodnova continued her hot streak on March 9, 1998, by defeating seventh-ranked
Holly Parkinson of Brigham Young.

Then Dorodnova struggled on March 23, 1998, while playing matches in Las Vegas.

"Over spring break, we went to Las Vegas, and I had two very bad matches,"
Dorodnova said. "But I got my confidence back with a win over Colorado."

Although Dorodnova defeated her Colorado opponent, the team lost 5-4.

Dorodnova continued to post big wins throughout the Big 12 season, including a win
over Kansas' Kylie Hunt, a former No. 1 player in the nation. Her strong season earned
her a trip to the NCAA singles championships May 25-29, 1998, in South Bend, Ind.

Dorodnova quickly dropped the first set and was down 4-1 in the second to Vicky
Maes of Arizona before bouncing back to win her first match of the championship.

The second round looked like a carbon copy of the first when Dorodnova dropped the
first set and was down in the second before beating Katherine Nasser of Northwestern.
With that win, she earned all- America status.

But Dorodnova wasn't finished.

She straight-setted Wisconsin's Barbara Urbanska 6-3, 6-3 on May 26, 1998, to qualify
for the next day's NCAA Quarterfinals.

Dorodnova then played Duke's Vanessa Webb, the No. 3 player in the nation. It was
Dorodnova's final match as a Wildcat, and she lost to Webb, the eventual NCAA
champion, 6-1, 6-3.

Despite losing in the quarterfinals, Dorodnova said she was not disappointed in her
overall performance.

"This was the greatest season of my life," Dorodnova said. "And I am glad it was the
season to end my career."

THE PLAYERS

Senior Yana Dorodnova be-
came the second Wildcat to
compete in the NCAA singles
championships. She was also
the school's second Ail-
American, and on May 25 she
became the first Wildcat to
win a match at the champion-
ships. The last Wildcat to
reach the championships,
Karina Kuregian in 1994,
earned all-America honors,
but never won a match at the
championships. Dorodnova
was as successful in the class-
room as she was on the court.
The Intercollegiate Tennis As-
sociation named hera Scholar
Athlete for posting a 3.85 cu-
mulative grade point average
in social science.

The final season of Elena

Piliptchak's collegiate career
reaped a number of awards.
But she won the awards with
her brain instead of hertennis
racket. In addition to a 6-3
conference record in singles
and a 7-7 doubles record with
Dorodnova as her partner,
she made the 1998 GTE Aca-
demic All-District VII spring
at-large team. Piliptchak, se-
nior in accounting and fi-
nance, was one of 10 student
athletes named to the team.
For the third consecutive
year, she became an Aca-
demic All-Big 12 selection
and the first Wildcat to win
special mention honors from
the Big 12 three years in a
row.

SILENT

deadly

Portrait by Jill Jarsulic.

Call her Kim, Kimer or Meow, but one also had
to call senior swing hitter Kim Zschau one of the
greatest volleyball players in K-State history.

When Zschau became the first Wildcat to qualify to play
at the USA National Team Training Camp in June at Colo-
rado Springs, she met one goal Coach Jim McLaughlin set for
K-State volleyball at his arrival in 1997.

"I remember at one of my first press conferences they
said, 'Hey, what's you're agenda,' " said McLaughlin, who
nicknamed Zschau both Kimer, for obvious reasons, and Meow, because she loved cats.
"I said, 'Someday we're going to have a K-State player go from wearing purple to red,
white and blue,' and Kim was the first one to do that."

At the USA National Team Training Camp, Zschau played with 17 other selected
collegiate players for the A-2 team — the reserve unit for the top USA National Team. The
team trained twice a day from late June to the first part of August. The team also
scrimmaged against the USA National Team and the Canadian National Team.

McLaughlin said the experience at Colorado Springs gave Zschau the self-assurance
she could play at the highest level.

"She just came back understanding there is a level above this," McLaughlin said. "It
just gives you more confidence. You've been selected. You're one of the few that is going
to put on a USA jersey."

Zschau said she brought back teamwork to K-State.

"I think what I learned the most was we were all at such a high level, it wasn't just
about who could hit the ball the hardest," Zschau said. "It was more about teamwork and
how we played together. That's what I got the most out of it and what I thought I helped
bring back to our team."

When Zschau came back to Manhattan in August, she knew the team welcomed six
freshmen, and she and senior middle blocker Val Wieck needed to do something to bring
them together. Trying to get the freshmen to feel like they were not by themselves was one
of her main goals, Zschau said.

"What was the problem in the past is it took so long for the freshmen to get into it,"
Zschau said. "So from the very beginning, we did a lot of bonding and trying to help them
out so they felt comfortable because I know if you feel comfortable, you play a little bit
better."

As a quiet leader, Zschau let her actions and court presence do the talking. The Big 12
Conference took notice, naming her a unanimous First Team All-Big 12 player.

Freshman setter Disney Bronnenberg said the entire team could follow Zschau's
game.

"She sets an example in every aspect of her game: in blocking, in digging, in passing
and in hitting," Bronnenberg said. "She's pretty disciplined, and to have that kind of
leader on the court really helps."

It would have been too much to ask Zschau to take Wieck's job and be a vocal leader
for the Wildcats because she could only say something motivational when it came
naturally, McLaughlin said.

"Kim was exclusively by example, but when she spoke, it was really good stuff,"
McLaughlin said. "You don't want to force someone to talk more than they really want to.
She's just Kim, and I like her the way she is."

team finishes with best final ranking behind
senior leadership and upstart freshman

— ►Success for the K-State volleyball team didn't start on the court; it started in a
residence hall room.

Freshmen Disney Bronnenberg and Lisa Mimick sat in a Moore Hall room taking
advice from junior Linsey Luther about how to deal with the difficulties of adjusting to
the rigorous practices and the new environment of Division I volleyball . Then senior Val
Wieck, the team's vocal leader and model of confidence, entered the room.

"She walked into our room and said, 'If you need anything, I'm here for you,' "
Bronnenberg said. "That's the way she is on and off the court."

Despite having six freshmen, the team started to gel, Wieck said.

"Out of my four years, I thought this team was probably on the same page more than
any other team I played on," Wieck, a middle blocker, said. "We were so willing to do
anything for the team."

That camaraderie paid off as the team advanced to the second round of the NCAA
Tournament for the second time in school history and finished the season with the
school's highest ranking ever — 23rd in the nation by the USA Today/ A VC A Coaches
Poll.

If team members used the "get on the same page" analogy, then they first had to
choose which book they were going to read.

"Every year you put together a plan, and within the plan you have to answer different
questions. Some are much more pertinent or important than others," Coach Jim
McLaughlin said. "Our No. 1 question was how to replace Devon Ryning."

The Wildcats lost setter Ryning to graduation. Her career 5,236 assists left big shoes
to fill.

Bronnenberg stepped up to the task by not only leading the team in assists per game,
but leading the nation as well. Her 15.54 APG set a new NCAA record, breaking the old
record by .09 APG.

Before Bronnenberg started setting records, or even playing games, she received
personal attention from McLaughlin.

"We trained Disney for 18 days before the first match," McLaughlin said. "I did not
spend a lot of time on anyone else. I spent time on the team, but the focus was Disney."

Bronnenberg agreed on the importance of the exclusive attention in her development
as the new setter.

"The first 18 days were really decisive for me," Bronnenberg said. "Basically, he sat
me down before those three weeks and said, 'Look, you're going to learn how to set for
me. You're going to have to learn how to run this offense.' "

Bronnenberg helped take the team to a regular season 18-11 record and a fifth-place
Big 12 Conference standing. Then the Wildcats received a bid to play in the NCAA
Tournament.

Playing in the Central Regional Dec. 4 in Provo, Utah, the team defeated Georgetown
15-9, 15-6, 15-7 to advance to the second round against Brigham Young.

BYU eliminated the Wildcats in a 15-6, 15-10, 17-15 sweep.

Although Wieck said BYU had more talent than K-State, she also said the Wildcats
were hurt by the young team's lack of experience in post-season play. Freshman swing
hitter Liz Wegner agreed experience played a part in the team's tournament perfor-
mance.

"I was really nervous and really excited, and I might not have been as focused as I
should have been," Wegner said. "The inexperience was a factor because I didn't know
what to expect."

Because the young team needed leadership, Wieck and senior swing hitter Kim
Zschau both held the reins. They played different roles — Wieck as the emotional engine
and Zschau as the silent leader by example.

"We were a good combination," Wieck
said. "If you had two quiet leaders, people
would be confused on what needed to be
done. If you had two vocal leaders, I think
there would be too much information
thrown at everyone."

The leadership of Wieck and Zschau car-
ried the Wildcats through a tough three-
game stretch at mid-season that could have
broken the team.

The Wildcats traveled with their No. 21
ranking Oct. 31 to Norman, Okla., expecting
to run over the Oklahoma Sooners, just as
they did earlier in the season. However, the
Sooners surprised the Wildcats by beating
them 15-13, 15-9, 4-15, 16-14.

"I, like a lot of people, just went in assum-
ing we were going to win like we did the first
time," Bronnenberg said. "I think we really
overlooked some of their strengths."

Wieck said the Oklahoma game opened
the team's eyes to the randomness of Big 12
volleyball.

"One thing we realized is on any given
night in this conference anybody can lose,"
Wieck said. "Before the Oklahoma match,
we didn't realize that."

If the upset at the hands of Oklahoma
wasn't bad enough, the team's next oppo-
nent was against No. 3-ranked and unde-
feated Nebraska — a team K-State hadn't
beaten in 57 tries. The Cornhuskers made it
58 on Nov. 6 in Lincoln, Neb., with a 15-8, 15-
10, 16-14 sweep.

The team traveled back to Manhattan

after the loss and hopped on an airplane to

Boulder, Colo., the next morning to play No.

1 3-ranked Colorado. Before taking the court

against the Buffaloes, the battle-torn Wildcats' chances to win seemed slim. However,

after pre-game talks from Wieck and Zschau, the team almost controlled from the

beginning to the end of the match as they won 15-11, 15-11, 14-16, 15-9.

"We were going on a down slope, and we were all hurting. Some of us were sick and
weren't feeling very well," Zschau said about the team's condition before the game. "We
all came together and said we're in this together. We have to play for each other; we can't
play for individuals. I'm hurting; you're hurting; you're sick; she's sick. We had to forget
about all this and just go out there and play until the very end."

sunflower showdown, kansas cup provide
rowing team with regional competition

► Halloween was a bad day to be a Jayhawk.

Before defeating the Jayhawks in football, the Wildcats handed a loss to the KU
women's rowing team. K-State claimed its second straight Sunflower Showdown regatta
at Clinton Lake near Lawrence. The Wildcats defeated KU 14-1 1, with victories in four of
six races despite rough waters and cross-tailwinds.

"On days like that, it comes down to who has the most guts," freshman Josie
McClellan said. "We had what it took."

K-State's novice four boat crushed KU by 33 seconds. In the novice-eight race, the
Wildcats finished with a time of 6 min-
utes, 5.3 seconds while the Jayhawks
clocked in at 6:27.9. K-State won by 43
seconds in the second novice-eight race.

Senior co-captain Amanda Kiefer
said a highlight of the regatta was the
second varsity-eight boat, which won by
14 seconds.

"We had just raced the second varsity
boat the week before and beat them by 1
second," Kiefer said. "So they were really
anxious to beat us."

The origin of the Sunflower Show-
down regatta and the Kansas Cup, the
spring K-State dual, came from Coach
Jenny Hale and KU Coach Rob Catloth.

Prior to the novice-eight race in the Kansas Cup, the
team prepares the boat. The race took place at Turtle

During spring 1997, the two teams competed in a dual race, but the races were not named
until fall 1997.

"We wanted to start our own tradition," Hale said. "We felt like we needed some
tradition that would go on year to year."

Catloth said the races were formed to promote the sport in Kansas.

"It's a national rivalry between the two schools," Catloth said. "We wanted to use that
in introducing the sport to the parents and fans because many of the freshman are walk-
ons."

The races were a good way to measure the team's progress, senior co-captain Donna
Harris said.

"The team looks forward to both of those because KU is the most obvious competitor
we have," Harris said. "They are in the same state, and they're doing a lot of the same
things we're doing. It's a comparison between how the two schools are doing."

April 18, 1998, marked the first Kansas Cup at Tuttle Creek Reservoir. K-State's first
varsity-four and second varsity-four boats were victorious. The first varsity boat edged
out KU by two seconds, and the second varsity boat won by 12 seconds. Entering the final
race, the teams were tied, but K-State's first varsity-eight boat's 4-second lead gave them
the points needed to win the trophy.

"The last race was the deciding factor," Kiefer said. "This was the first time we had
the trophy for the race, so we really wanted to win."

Ruth Ann Wefald, former rower for an intramural team from 1958 to 1960 at Smith
College and President Jon Wefald's wife, presented K-State with the Kansas Cup trophy.

"I think the race is extremely appropriate and has great potential," Wefald said. "It's
really fun to be out by the lake seeing K-State and KU go head to head."

THE PLAYERS

Although she was the bow

seat oarswoman of the var-
sity-eight boat, senior Tricia
Stockebrand shouldn't have
been able to compete at the
Division I level. At just 5 feet,
7 inches tall, she was several
inches shorter than the aver-
age rower. She said her desire
to win was a key to success. "I
think a lot of it is desire, and I
have a lot of desire,"
Stockebrand said. "I have to
be able to put out the same
amount of force as someone
with more leverage."

Senior Rebecca Riemer was a

model of consistency for the
rowing team. Coach Jenny
Hale said Riemer always gave
the same effort in the sixth
seat of the varsity-eight boat.
"She sits in the power seat in
the boat," Hale said. "The
thing about Becca is she's
consistent. From race to race
and from practice to practice,
the team can count on her."

FOR THE CROWN

There wasn't room for two on the top, but they both wished
for it. When Melissa Lull, junior in kinesiology, and Amy
Davisson, senior in biological and agricultural engineering,
shook hands in the center of the mat before the match, one was
destined to have bragging rights forever.

The two members of Alpha Delta Pi soror-
ity were vying for the 136-pound-and-above
division title in the intramural wrestling
tournament.

"I thought it was kind of weird because
Amy is a friend of mine," Lull said. "1 had a
mindset of 'have a good time.' It wasn't seri-
ous."

In less than two minutes, Lull tripped
Davisson and pinned her in the first period of
the match.

"I really wanted the title," Lull said. "I
didn't want to beat her, but deep down I
really wanted the title of intramural cham-
pion."

Lull and Davisson wrestled in the tourna-
ment for more than an individual title. Both
were wrestling to score points for ADPi's
intramural standings. ADPi and Kappa Al-
pha Theta were the only sororities that had
members competing in the tournament.

Despite the lure of the championship,
entering the meet took some prodding. Lull
said she almost forfeited on the first night of
the tournament when she saw the bleachers
around the mats filled with spectators.

"When I walked in, I just about flipped,"
Lull said. "They had bleachers set up, and
people were watching. It made me not want
to do it."

Lull decided to go through with it, and it
paid off when she pinned Jami Nelson, senior
in mass communications and Theta member.

For Davisson, who wrestled in 1997, the
crowd was less of a problem than telling her
parents she entered the tournament.

"My parents about died when I told them
that I was doing it," Davisson said. "My mom
said she was glad she was sitting down when
I told her."

Michelle Jones, junior in industrial engi-
neering, repeated her 1997 intramural wres-
tling championship with a win in the 135-
pound weight class, making it a sweep for
ADPi. Jones wrestled once in the tourna-
ment, defeating Julene Sylvester, sophomore
in human ecology and mass communication

and Theta member, in the first round. She
won her final match by forfeit.

Jones said persuading girls in her sorority
to enter the tournament was not easy.

division. (Photo by Jeff Cooper)

"It's kind of funny to see who we can get
to do it," Jones said. "I don't know if girls
think it's weird to do it, or if they're just
scared. Most girls in our house are just
scared."

Theta members signed up Betsy
Robinson, junior in family studies and hu-
man services, for the tournament because she
won the 136-pound-and-above champion-
ship in 1997.

However, Robinson's second year com-
peting in the tournament was not as gener-
ous — she lost to Lull in the second round.
She said more contestants didn't enter the
tournament because of the connotations of
women wrestlers.

"For girls, you're a butch because you're
wrestling hard, or you're a sissy because
you're not wrestling hard enough,"
Robinson said. "Wrestling is not an effemi-
nate sport."

Portrait by Jeff Cooper.

Landing a prized recruit took nothing more
than good interior decor.

In spring 1997, Nathan Leeper, 1997 NJCAA indoor and
outdoor track and field national high jump champion,
walked into Coach Cliff Rovelto's office during a recruiting
visit and was drawn in by the decor.

"I remember walking into his office, and he had all his
all-America certificates hanging up on the wall," said
Leeper, who was a freshman at Dodge City Community
College at the time. "I was sitting there looking at how many

of them were in the high jump, and I'm not sure how many of them he's got in there, but
a lot of them said 'high jump.' "

Exactly 17 all-America high-jump certificates stared Leeper in the face, telling him to
choose K-State over Northern Iowa and a number of other schools.

One year into the Leeper era, the total on Rovelto's wall was up to 19 certificates. The
first with Leeper's name came from a 12th-place finish at the 1998 NCAA Indoor
Championships. The second was from a win June 4 at the NCAA Outdoor Champion-
ships.

After making a bold prediction June 3 at the NCAA Championships, Leeper lived up
to his billing.

"Between the Big 1 2 meet and the NC A As, I jumped at bars in practice that were pretty
high, and I was making them," Leeper said. "I told Coach the night before that I was going
to win, and he said, 'OK.'"

Leeper's prediction came true when he jumped 7 feet, 5-3 /4 inches to defeat a field that
included four previous NCAA champions and three World Championship finalists.
Rovelto said Leeper's poise was key to taking the gold at the national championship.

"I think he has a healthy respect for competition," Rovelto said. "He knows what
they've done, but when the competition starts, he's not dwelling on what they've done.
He believes he's capable of competing with them."

Leeper kept his confidence behind a stoic face, Sherry Leeper, his mother, said.

"He's always been kind of laid-back competitive," Sherry said. "He doesn't show a
whole lot of emotion; he just seems to play the game."

Little did Leeper know that his ability to handle his emotions would again serve him
well. This time it was on June 21 at the USA Championships, just eight days after his 21st
birthday.

Competing against the best the United States had to offer, Leeper emerged as one of
the final five jumpers by clearing 7 feet, 4-1/2 inches. Charles Austin, the American high-
jump record holder, cleared 7 feet, 6-1 /2 inches on his second attempt while the rest of the
competitors failed on theirs. Last in the jumping order, Leeper watched as each of his three
opponents failed on their final attempts at 7 feet, 6-1/2 inches. After gathering his
composure, he left the earth in a determined leap. When he descended to the mat, he
looked above to see the crossbar still resting on the standards.

"I had one jump to make the team because I was going to get beat by misses. I had too
many misses at the lower bars," Leeper said. "Everything just kind of fell right into place.
It happened all at once, and I made it."

Leeper did more than take the silver medal and qualify for the USA national team: he
earned something to hang on his own wall.

two teams display abilities despite injuries,
finish high in national and conference meets

men's Track ono Field

P" When K-State finished fifth in the Big 12 Outdoor Championships, May 15-17,
1998, no one was more surprised than Coach Cliff Rovelto.

The week before the conference championships, the Wildcats were missing senior
Jeff Martin because of a leg injury, sophomore Harold Price due to an ankle sprain and
senior T.J. Turner from elbow surgery. Each of the three were expected to score points
at the meet.

"We're going to have to have a heck of a meet to be in the top half of the conference,"
Rovelto said a week prior to the meet.

Two weeks after the Big 12 Championships, the Wildcats finished 10th in the NCAA
Outdoor Championships, highest of all Big 12 teams.

Sophomore high jumper Nathan Leeper, sophomore decathlete Attilla Zsivoczky,
junior sprinter Randy Melbourne and the 1,600-meter relay team each scored points for
the Wildcats at the NCAA Championships.

Although Leeper took the gold and Zsivoczky took the silver in each of their
respective events, Rovelto said he liked seeing the fourth-place finish of the 1,600-meter
relay team the most. Sprint relays were traditionally dominated by teams from the
southern regions of the nation, but the Wildcats' team, consisting of Melbourne and
seniors Keith Black, Scott Galas and Perry McBride, placed fourth with a time of 3:05.31.

"One of the most satisfying things was the performance of our 1600-meter relay
team," Rovelto said. "We were the only team from a northern school in the finals at the
NCAA meet."

Women's Trock pno Field

^ Fielding a complete track team was customary for Cliff Rovelto, and the greatest
measuring stick for the completeness of the Wildcat team was the Big 12 Outdoor
Championships. Rovelto said the team proved its quality, depth and completeness with
its performance in Columbia, Mo.

"This particular team established themselves as one of the top four in the Big 12,"
Rovelto said. "It shouldn't be taken as staying the same because the conference is getting
better."

Sophomore Erin Anderson, who placed second in the Big 12 pole vault, said the
team's preparation was directed at the Big 12 meet.

"All season Coach was working on us to be ready for that meet," Anderson said.
"Coach gave us a good pep talk the night before the meet. He told us that everyone has
a chance to score at the meet, and I think everyone did except for maybe one person."

The significance of the Wildcats' feat at the Big 12 Championships was evident after
the NCAA Championships. The Big 12 Conference was one of the top conferences in the
nation in 1 998 with four of the top-20 NCAA Championship finishers, including national
champion Texas.

Sophomore Renetta Seiler was the only Wildcat to place at the NCAA Champion-
ships with a fifth-place finish in hammer throw. Her finish was enough to place the team
51st in the Championships.

poor luck struck the women's golf team as it
fought through the spring and fall seasons

■ ^Despite a successful fall 1997 season, the women's golf team struggled to cope with
injuries and the accompanied pressure in spring 1998.

The team began to struggle after its No. 1 player and fall scoring leader, freshman Edie
Murdoch, suffered a shoulder injury at the second tournament in Austin, Texas.

"Edie brought in some very good scores in the fall," junior Jane Yi said. "She's a very
good player. We definitely missed having her scores."

In addition to Murdoch, several other players had nagging injuries during the five
season tournaments, including Yi, sophomore Carrie Chambers and junior Mitzi Taylor.

"Those injuries affected our play," said Taylor, who was hampered with back prob-
lems. "With me, sometimes it's hard to get through 36 holes."

Winter weather also limited the Wildcats, forcing practices indoors.

"Not being able to practice outside really hurt us," Chambers said. "It makes it hard for
us to prepare for our spring tournaments because all we can really do is hit into nets."

The team then found a way to win as it placed third at the Fighting Camel Classic, in
Buies Creek, N.C. Senior Ann Slater said the reason for the team's success in the Fighting
Camel Classic was its relaxed play.

"That was a fun tournament," Slater said. "I think everyone felt less stressed out than
at the other tournaments. Personally, I was a lot more at ease with my game at that
tournament."

The Wildcats were unable to duplicate that comfort at the Big 1 2 Championships, where
they finished in 11th place. The team entered the tournament hoping to make a statement
but suffered through the first round with a score of 337, Slater said.

"It was very disappointing for the team," Slater said. "I think we all tried too hard. I
think we had too many expectations. We all had a lot on our minds those first two days."

Most team members shaved a significant number of strokes from their first-round
scores in the third round. By the final round, the team shortened its total score to 316. Yi
paved the way, reducing her score from a first-round 93 to a 73 in the third round.

"I came into the tournament really wanting to do well," Yi said. "That first day I was
so nervous, I just didn't play well. I was mad at myself for playing bad, so on the last day
I kept my spirits up, and it turned out well."

Although the spring season had disappointments, one pleasant surprise was freshman
walk-on Traci Benninga, who stepped in to fill the void left by Murdoch's injury.

Benninga said the opportunity to play as a freshman was bittersweet because she
played at Murdoch's expense.

"Stepping in was definitely a big responsibility," Benninga said. "I was really glad to
get the opportunity to play because it gave me great experience, but at the same time I hated
it because it happened because Edie got injured."

The poor health carried over to the fall season. Murdoch's injury remained with her for
the start of the fall season, which gave her redshirt status.

"When the season started, Edie wasn't totally healthy," Coach Kristi Knight said.
"Rather than push her or sit her out for a few tournaments, we decided to redshirt her."

With the absence of Murdoch, Knight said Taylor led the team in the fall.

"For the most part, without Mitzi Taylor we would have been in trouble," Knight said.
"She really stepped up and was a force."

THE PLAYERS

Sophomore Traci Benninga

went from being a walk on in
1997 to one of the Wildcat's
top five players in 1998.
"Traci did tremendously
well," Coach Kristi Knight
said of Benninga's quick rise
to the top. "We didn't expect
her to be able to jump in there
the way she did." Her best
finish of the season was a tie
for 43rd place Sept. 21 and
22 at the Heather Farr Memo-
rial in Louisville, Colo.

In three of the five fall tourna-
ments, senior Mitzi Taylor
was the team's top finisher.
She led the team at the Chip-
N-Club Invitational, BiglO/
Big 12 Shoot-out and Diet
Coke-Roadrunner Invita-
tional. Her highest individual
finish, which was also the
highest finish of any Wildcat,
was Sept. 14 and 15 at the
Chip-N-Club Invitational in
Lincoln, Neb., where she
ended in a tie for 15th place.

When Taylor wasn't the Wild-
cats' top finisher in the fall
season, senior Jane Yi was. Yi
was never less than third on
the team in any tournament
of the season. She was the
top finisher at the Heather
Farr Memorial, whereshetied
for 17th place, and at the Big
12 Fall Preview, where she
tied for 27th place.

men's golf team is blown away to a forget-
table conference finish by foul weather

^ In the world of sports, the battle was usually waged against opponents. As the
men's golf team discovered, sometimes a team battled other elements.

In 1998, the men faced Mother Nature's wrath as windy conditions and rain followed
the Wildcats.

"It seemed like in every single tournament, one day had some really strong winds, 30-
miles-per hour and above," Coach Tim Norris said. "It seemed like we could have
finished higher if we were able to eliminate the effects the wind had on our play."

Another element Norris had no control over was time. Between K-State's last
tournament in 1 997 and their first spring match, the team had nearly five months of break
time.

Even with daily practice, Norris said not having any real matches to sustain the
momentum affected the team.

"We practiced every morning before class," Norris said. "We hit balls. We chipped.
We putted over at Brandenberry . But there's just something about not being on real grass
that takes away your drive."

Real grass finally became a reality on March 9 at the Louisiana Classic. The Wildcats
returned to the state where they played their final fall tournament hoping to duplicate,
if not surpass, their third-place finish at the Louisiana Tech tournament.

The Wildcats shot a combined 942 during two windy days and finished 14th in the
15-team field. Sophomore Brian Racette, who placed 15th after posting a 228, turned in
the top individual performance.

After braving the elements all season, Norris hoped to receive mercy from the
weather at the season's final event, the Big 12 Championships.

Playing at Prairie Dunes in Hutchinson, Kan., the Wildcats found no mercy. Faced
with wind and steady rainfall, the Wildcats once again battled the elements. After three
rounds, the team posted a combined 967 — its worst score of the season. That put the
Wildcats at the bottom of the 12-team field.

Senior Matt Murdoch said the weather conditions made playing difficult.

"The conditions at the Big 12 tournament were worse than any tournament I've
played in," he said. "A lot of people who came to see the Big 12 tournament were forced
indoors because of the weather.

"The wind chills were bad, and the course was too wet to play on," he said. "I'm
surprised it wasn't called."

Although displeased with the team's finish, Norris found positive results in indi-
vidual performances. Racette returned to form with a 231, which resulted in a season-
high and personal-best 15th place.

"Brian was probably our best player last season, and it reflected in his play at the Big
12 tournament," Norris said. "He didn't have a particularly good first round, but he really
battled back."

After a difficult first round, Racette posted a 74 on the second, which was the best
score of the round. He said the weather was a factor in outplaying the rest of the field in
the second round.

"The weather was really bad," Racette said. "Most people were whining and didn't
want to play the second round, and I knew I could jump ahead if I kept my concentration
and played through it."

ment in more than three
years largely in part to the
play of junior Mark Sears. He

the Wildcat Invitational on
Oct. 9 and 10 at Manhattan

struggled in the second with
a 76. He bounced back in the

transition year forces young players into
lineup, offense and pitching struggle to win
against powerful big 12 conference teams

^ After losing 10 seniors to graduation and two juniors to the Major League draft,
Coach Mike Clark looked to his incoming class to play a key role on the 1998 squad.

Six freshmen, five coming directly from high school ranks, saw playing time. Playing
in the Big 12 Conference, which included four teams that advanced to the NCAA
Regionals, the Wildcats went through some growing pains. Overall, K-State freshmen
earned 41 starts, and newcomers accounted for 40 percent of runs scored and 48 percent
of home runs.

"We have had a couple of transition years," Clark said. "Last season got the younger
guys some experience and helped improve their game."

K-State ended the season with a record of 20-32 and 9-19 in the conference. It was the
first time the Wildcats finished under .500 in three seasons.

"The tougher schedule has helped our team," freshman infielder Scott Voos said.
"When you play in the Big 12 Conference, you must come to play everyday. In high
school, you might face a player of the Big 12 caliber once a season, but now you play them
everyday."

Freshman Kasey Weishaar led the youth movement, earning 16 starts in the outfield.
Weishaar hit .299, two home runs and drove in 10 runs. However, he struggled in
conference play, batting only .233 against Big 12 pitching.

"I was glad I got the opportunity to step in and contribute early," Weishaar said. "I
learned a great deal as the season went on. At the beginning of the year, we got to face
our pitchers in practice, and that helped us to prepare, but occasionally we would run into
some guys who could throw a little harder."

Redshirt freshman Mark English also stepped up for the Wildcats. He backed up
senior Josh Marn at third base and batted .371 . His season highlight came March 13 when
he blasted a pinch-hit home run in the bottom of the fifth inning that helped the Wildcats
defeat Air Force Academy, 5-4.

Junior college transfers also played a key role for the Wildcats. Junior outfielder and
pitcher Andy Silva, junior infielder Chet Savage and junior outfielder Quinn Cravens
were mainstays in the lineup. Silva provided stopping power as the closing pitcher,
leading the conference in saves with eight, and he pitched a team-low 2.66 ERA. Silva also
played right field and was second on the team in doubles with 17. Savage started every
game and was third in RBIs. Cravens brought power to the lineup, tying Marn for the
team's home-run lead with nine.

Mixed in with the newcomers were three senior full-time starters: center fielder Eric
Sommerhauser, catcher Yancy Ayres and Marn.

The Wildcats, who were last in the Big 12 in offensive output, fared worse on the road
than at home. The team had a 3-18 record away from Frank Myers Field and batted .277.
Two of the three road wins came April 25 and 26 in Ames, Iowa, where the team beat Iowa
State. In the second win against the Cyclones, the Wildcats belted 23 hits and scored 22
runs for the team's largest offensive output of the season.

Senior third baseman Josh

Marn led the team in hits,

all games and 14th in batting
average at .369 in conference

Lack of hitting experience was not the team's only concern, Clark said. Pitching
experience was also at a minimum. Injuries to juniors Mickey Blount and Jason Wells
decimated the pitching staff, which finished the season with a 6.32 ERA, and forced
inexperienced players into the lineup.

"We didn't have the staff we had anticipated," Clark said. "Our pitching staff was
shorthanded. Injuries to those guys really hurt our club. Those guys were our top two
pitchers, and we basically had to send our No. 3 guy against other teams' No. 1 guy."

While the Wildcats introduced a number of new players, they said goodbye to their
home stadium, Frank Myers Field. After the season, Myers Field received a new playing
surface, grandstands, press box, locker rooms and office facilities. On May 5, Wichita State
defeated the Wildcats 5-17 in seven innings in the final game at Myers Field as they knew
it.

"I hate to leave the Frank that way," freshman infielder Josh Cavender said. "We tried
our best to send the Frank out on a good note."

^ Ground was broken for Frank Myers Field renovations before the May 5 game
against Wichita State. The ceremony included President Jon Wefald, athletic director Max
Urick, director of development Ernie Barrett, Coach Mike Clark and team members. The
new stadium was scheduled for completion by the start of the 1999 season.

In the 37 seasons the Wildcats played at Myers Field, they won 518 games and had only
eight losing seasons. The stadium was built in 1961 to honor former baseball coach Frank
Myers.

Myers' only season as the Wildcats' baseball coach was the 1940 season when they had
a record of 10-6, placing second in the Big 6 Conference. He occupied many subsequent
positions in the Department of Athletics. At one point in his career he was the assistant
athletic director to Mike Ahearn.

the
drain

wildcats allow no. 1 ranking, window of
opportunity and dream season to slip away

- !► An announcement flashed on the two Sony JumboTrons, creating an explosion of
screams, high fives and maybe even some tears of joy among the 20,000 K-State fans in
the Trans World Dome in St. Louis, Mo. The message was simple — Miami 49, UCLA 45.

On Dec. 5, the final day of the college football season, when three undefeated teams
would play consecutively on national television, UCLA fell from the ranks of the
unbeaten.

"Everybody in the stadium saw the score, and I'm not going to sit here and say we
didn't see it and it didn't give us a little boost, " senior offensive guard Jeremy Martin said
after the Big 12 Championship. "If anything, it gave us a little boost. I think from then on,
we knew we had to take care of business, and we just didn't get it done today."

To the Wildcat fans watching K-State, ranked No. 1 in the ESPN/USA Today
Coaches poll, play No. 10 Texas A&M in the Big 12 Championship, the UCLA loss meant
K-State would travel to the Tostitos Fiesta Bowl to play for the national championship.

However, at some point after that fateful announcement, the championship started
slipping out of K-State's grasp.

A 65-yard drive late in the fourth quarter capped off by a 9-yard touchdown
reception by Sirr Parker brought the Aggies, who trailed by 15 going into the final period,
within two points of the Wildcats. On the two-point conversion attempt, Parker caught
the ball out of the backfield again and tied the score at 27.

The Wildcats then put together a drive that ended with Michael Bishop unleashing a
bomb that dropped into senior receiver Everett Burnett's arms. Time expired as Burnett
landed on his back with the ball cradled in his arms two yards from the endzone.

In the second overtime, after both teams settled for field goals in the first OT, the
Wildcats kicked another field goal and hoped their defense could stop the Aggies.

Facing third and 1 7 at the 32-yard line, Parker slipped out of the backf ield and split out
wide to catch a bullet fired by quarterback Branndon Stewart. Parker broke two tackles
and reached the ball over the pylon with Wildcat safety Lamar Chapman latched to his
shoulder pads, ending the longest game in K-State history.

The touchdown also ended the Wildcats' dream, induced their pain and sent them to
San Antonio to play in the Builders Square Alamo Bowl.

"The pain is there because there was such an investment. Such an emotional invest-
ment made by all these young people, far greater than most have ever made," Coach Bill
Snyder said, fighting back tears. "The greater the investment, the greater the pain."

Snyder said the loss was one of the most significant events of his life.

"In my 10 years here, I've lost a mother, I've lost a grandfather, the only two remaining
relatives I had older than myself," Snyder said. "The tremendous accident that involved
my daughter. I mean those are tremendous losses, tremendous losses, and this was, I'm
almost embarrassed to say it, but I had the same kind of feelings."

Despite the anguish of the squandered opportunity, the 1 998 season became one of the
defining chapters in the "miracle in Manhattan" football program turnaround.

Four All- Americans and nine First Team All-Big 12 selections wore K-State purple.
They had the Paul "Bear" Bryant National Coach of the Year in Snyder and the Heisman
Trophy runner-up in Michael Bishop. They beat their regular-season opponents by an
average of 38 points-per-game, while going undefeated and holding the No. 1 ranking in
the nation for the first time in school history.

After pummeling Baylor 49-6, the Wildcats were tied with Tennessee in the ESPN/
USA Today Coaches Poll on Nov. 8 for their first No. 1 ranking.

Although the Wildcats ranked No. 1 in one of the two polls used to determine the
opponents of the national championship game, they were No. 2 in the Associated Press
poll. Still, they trailed Tennessee and UCLA in what really counted — the Bowl Champi-
onship Series standings.

In the inaugural season for the BCS, K-State not only needed to impress voters, but it
also needed to impress the Pentium Processors. Along with the two polls, the Sagarin
Power Rating, New York Times Power Rating and Seattle Times Power Rating each had
a say who was the best team in the nation.

After eking past the 14th-ranked Colorado Buffaloes 16-9 on Oct. 10, a reporter asked
Snyder how he thought margin of victory would play into the outcome of the season.

"Okinawa Free Press has a ranking that, depending on what color of socks you wear ..."
Snyder said. "I honestly don't pay attention to them because I don't understand them."

Snyder showed his lighter side at that moment, but he expressed his disappointment
with the team's performance against the Buffaloes.

"I don't think our football team is really pleased with the way we won the ballgame.
I've been hearing all week, whoever says those things, about ugly wins. If there is such a
thing as an ugly win, then you witnessed one today," Snyder said. "I don't think you're
going to hear a joyous locker room."

Although Snyder wasn't pleased with the quality of the win against Colorado, the
opposite could be said about the Wildcats' 40-30 win over llth-ranked Nebraska on Nov.
14. He might have even cracked a smile after he shed that monkey wearing a big red "N"
off his back.

"I'm happy. I can assure you that, contrary to popular belief," Snyder said after the
game. "I feel very good about this win. I'm humbled by it in all honesty because of the
amount of time that it's taken to do this."

In what many called the "biggest game in K-State history," the Wildcats were faced
with beating a team they hadn't defeated in 29 consecutive attempts. But on the unseason-
ably warm November day in front of 44,298, the largest crowd in KSU Stadium history,
the No. 1-ranked Wildcats were not denied.

The combination of Bishop and receiver Darnell McDonald struck first in the second
half as Bishop fired a pass to McDonald. After catching the ball, he ran through three
would-be tacklers and spun into the endzone with his arms reaching to the heavens. With
that 17-yard touchdown, the Wildcats took their first lead of the game at 21-17.

The second connection came with 5 minutes, 25 seconds remaining in the game and
the Wildcats trailing 30-27. On third and 10 at the Nebraska 11-yard line, Bishop took the
snap and rolled right. Searching the field for an open receiver, he spotted McDonald
standing alone in the center of the field. Bishop rifled the ball across the flow of traffic into

wildcats' title hopes go down the

nmmmm

McDonald's hands for the go-ahead score.

The importance of the game reached farther than the field. To K-State students, alumni
and other fans, it was a game to bank on being the one to remember. Some even took it to
the bank as scalpers sold their $14 student tickets for as much as $1,000 a piece. However,
no one could put a price on seeing the K-State student section empty onto the field before
the game even ended not once, not twice, but three times before dismantling the north
goalpost.

"As long as I live," Jon Wefald said before the Builders Square Alamo Bowl at the Dec.
28 pep rally in San Antonio, "I will never forget the sight of 20,000 students coming onto
the field after beating the University of Nebraska."

The fans rushed the field immediately following Jeff
Kelly's 23-yard fumble return for a touchdown, but the
clock still had three ticks left. After Bishop took a knee on
the extra-point conversion, the fans again hit the field, not
realizing the clock did not run during extra point at-
tempts. As sophomore Adrian Beard tackled Shevin
Wiggins on the ensuing kickoff, time expired, and the fans
engulfed the field for the last time.

One week later in Columbia, Mo., the 19th-ranked
Missouri Tigers greased their goalposts in anticipation of
a monumental upset.

Fate seemed to be against the Wildcats on the Friday
before they arrived in Columbia. The bus transporting
team members to the airport collided into the wingtip of
the airplane as it sat on the Manhattan Regional Airport
tarmac. The collision injured no one, but caused a four-
hour delay for the team's departure.

The next day, the Wildcats struggled against the
physical Tigers, but held on to win 31-25.

Tiger quarterback Corby Jones, unconvinced of K-
State's No. 1 ranking after the game, was almost prophetic
of the Wildcats' fate in weeks to come.

"If you put them at No. 1, then where does that leave
us?" Jones said. "We felt like we were the best football
team out there today, and we felt like we outplayed them.
We just didn't get the victory."

Two weeks later, the Wildcats were in St. Louis. Al-
though they were No. 3 in the BCS heading into the Big 12
Championship, when UCLA lost, K-State could throw
away its calculator and quit praying to make it in by the slimmest of decimal points. It was
win, and they're in. Competing in the Tostitos Fiesta Bowl was so close, they could feel it.
"I've had a lot of surgeries in my career here," senior linebacker Travis Ochs said after
the game. "But nothing has ever hurt this bad."

After more than 30 minutes of

prize

in wake of football team's biggest win, fans
charge the field to claim their trophy.

^ The Wildcat football team got its victory, and the fans wanted theirs.

Equipped with everything from ropes to yellow signs warning the crowd to "watch
for falling goalpost," the fans came with every intention of tearing the goalpost down.

"I'd have to say I was hoping for a victory," Matt Galas, junior in architectural
engineering, said. "I was ready to tear down the goalpost."

Two weeks earlier, the Department of Intercollegiate Athletics installed the steel
goalpost, specifically designed to resist
destruction. Fans knew it would be no
easy task taking down the goalpost,
which stood in front of the student sec-
tion in the north endzone.

"We all knew it had been reinforced,"
Brian Becker, freshman in milling sci-
ence and management, said. "We knew
it would take a while."

After jumping and hanging on the
goalpost, the fans attached pulleys to
add more weight. Time passed, and the
goalpost began to lean, but it didn't fall.

Some fans began to look toward the
south goalpost. However, guards filled
the south endzone, ending that option.

As minutes ticked by, many simply
watched and waited.

Fans climb the goalpost to help bring it to the ground.

the game ended with a final score of 40-30. After
trying to tear it down by pushing and pulling, the
crowd attached pulleys to it. (Photo by Steve Hebert)

"The time it took kind of wore down the emotion," Becker said. "But there were
people still yelling and cheering."

Thirty-three minutes and $14,500 later, they claimed their prize. The crowd had torn
it down, despite the athletic department's preventative efforts.

"The university had tried to fool us by greasing it and reinforcing it," Becker said.
"But then we brought it down. It was awesome."

After the goalpost fell, the fans carried it through the KSU Stadium barriers and onto
Kimball Avenue. As police escorted them down Denison Avenue and through campus
on Claflin Road to North Manhattan Avenue, those who were not touching the goalpost
picked up street signs, orange cones and construction barrels.

"It was pretty scary," Matt Dill, freshman in electrical engineering, said. "When we
got to Aggieville, just trying to stay on your feet was a big chore. It was one of the scariest
and one of the most fun things I've ever been a part of."

When the crowd reached Aggieville, people lined the streets, filled the trees and
stood on lampposts to watch the goalpost pass. Spectators filled the east end of North
Manhattan Avenue and Moro Street and overflowed into Triangle Park.

After pushing, pulling and shouting hundreds of instructions through the streets, the
fans hoisted the goalpost on the roof of Rusty's Last Chance Restaurant and Saloon.

The crowd surrounded Chance, cheering those who raised the goalpost atop the bar.

"It was fun because you felt like you'd accomplished something," Dill said. "It took
us a long time to get down there. If you'd gone the whole way with it, it felt good."

The fans had reason to feel good.

For 29 years, K-State had waited to beat Nebraska, and for seven years, Merchants
Environmental Industries, the manufacturer of the goalposts, had been able to guarantee
its goalposts were unbreakable.

That night it happened. Hell froze over. The mighty Cornhuskers fell, and the
goalpost followed.

"It was an experience I'll never forget," Galas said. "It was a great day for me, for K-
State and for all of their fans."

Before playing a single down in a K-State jersey,
a headline on the Collegian called Michael
Bishop "The Man."

One year later, Bishop, then a senior, was so much more
than the man. He was the man who finished second in the
Heisman balloting. He was the man who could fire a football
more than 90 yards. He was the man who led K-State to its
first victory over Nebraska since 1968.

Bishop won the Davey O'Brien Award and passed for a
K-State record 2,844 yards and 23 touchdowns. He mesmer-
ized those watching by running through tacklers or zinging
the football 45 yards in a straight line downfield.

Regardless of Bishop's athletic talents, Coach Bill Snyder
said his competitive nature was what made him who he was.

"He's a very competitive young man. He may carry that
to a different level," Snyder said. "Winning is important to him. Playing well is important
to him."

Bishop said nothing defined his season more than the Wildcat's win over Nebraska .

After three fumbles on consecutive possessions in the second quarter, Bishop was
handing the Cornhuskers the game, but he fought back in the second half to lead the
Wildcats. He finished with four touchdowns, 306 yards passing and 140 yards rushing.

"Last night you could see it in his eyes. We were going to play well," senior linebacker
Jeff Kelly said about Bishop after the game. "We told each other we've got to play well and
win this game."

The Wildcat's triumph over the Cornhuskers avenged Bishop's only blemish, a loss
to Nebraska in 1997, the first of his collegiate career to that point. His record as a starting
quarterback came to 45-1 — 24-0 with two community college national championships at
Blinn Community College and 21-1 at K-State. It was as if Bishop didn't know how to lose.

Three weeks after beating Nebraska, Bishop's career started to lose that sparkling
shine. He fumbled with 2 minutes, 26 seconds left to play in the Big 12 Championship,
giving Texas A&M a chance to tie the game and eventually win 36-33 in double overtime.

Bishop said the loss, which lost the Wildcats' birth into the national championship
game, haunted him.

"It's something that each player dreams about — the opportunity to play in the
national championship game," Bishop said. "We were so close. Experiencing what we
went through is something that will stick in my mind for a long time."

The nightmare didn't end there. Bishop threw four interceptions, matching his total
from the rest of the season, in the 37-34 loss to unranked Purdue at the Builders Square
Alamo Bowl Dec. 29.

After the Purdue debacle, he put his performance and season into perspective.

"I don't think we have anything to be sad about. We played well," he said, always
turning questions about him into answers about the team. "We had turnovers, but we did
great things all season, and we can't let this one game take away from all the great things
we did."

Despite the less-than-storybook ending, Bishop said saying goodbye to taking the
field on Saturdays at KSU Stadium was difficult.

"It's going to be hard to let go, but that's part of life," he said. "You can't hold on to
everything forever." ' by Joel White

Dec. 27 — The Builders Square Alamo
Bowl bid tested college football's best
traveling fans, and they passed — barely.

After K-State lost the Big 12
Championship game and the opportunity to
play in the national championship game,
many wondered if the dejected K-State fans
would travel to San Antonio.

The answer wasn't so clear during the
Alamo Bowl Team Fiesta at the Arneson
River Theatre on the River Walk. Among the
projected 1,000 in attendance, Purdue fans
surpassed K-State in both numbers and noise.

"This is the first pep rally that I've been to
where the K-State fans were outnumbered/'
Charles Munson, K-State fan and Junction
City resident, said.

Preston Sperry, sophomore in
psychology, questioned K-State fans'
dedication because of their low numbers at
the pep rally.

"I'm beginning to wonder about the
loyalty of the hard-core fans," Sperry said. "I
think there's a lot of fair-weather fans."

Michael Heintz, senior in environmental
sciences at Purdue, said he did not know K-
State's reputation for following the team and
was not surprised by the turnout at the pep
rally.

"Having been here last year, this is what
I expected," Heintz said about the large
number of Purdue fans in attendance. "I'm
expecting it to keep escalating as we get
closer to the game."

Dec. 28 — The K-State faithful finally

came out in full force.

More than 10,000 people filed into
Freeman Coliseum on the Monday afternoon
for a pep rally sponsored by the KSU Alumni
Association.

Matt David, senior in hotel and restaurant
management who attended the K-State bowl
game for the fourth-straight year, said he
thought not playing in a Bowl Championship
Series game would have kept K-State fans
from traveling to San Antonio.

"There are a lot more people here than I
thought there would be," David said. "This
is comparable to the Holiday Bowl, but
probably a little bit more."

People attended the pep rally to see the
football team as well as speakers Gov. Bill
Graves, Sen. Pat Roberts, R-Kan., President
Jon Wefald and Coach Bill Snyder.

Roberts assured the audience K-State fans
would travel anywhere to see the Wildcats
play football

"If the game were held in Timbuktu,
Baghdad or Bosnia, we would be there,"
Roberts said.

Snyder said when he arrived in San
Antonio to accept the Builders Square Alamo
Bowl bid, the bowl officials asked him to
plead to K-State fans to attend the game.

"I said, 'No, I'm not going to do that.
These are K-Staters. They will do what is
right by our program,' " Snyder said,
speaking to the fans. "You have never ever
let us down."

Dec. 29 — In front of more than 25,000 K-
State fans sitting in disbelief in San Antonio's
Alamo Dome, Michael Bishop shook hands
with his friends in the stands then strutted to
his mother Ethel, who was waiting in the
tunnel entering the arena. Photographers and
television cameras surrounded the couple,
capturing the star at the end of his era.

This wasn't where Bishop and the rest of
the Wildcats planned to be at the end of their
season. The Wildcats were supposed to be
hoisting the national championship trophy
above their heads under the Arizona sky.
Instead they were dealing with a 37-34 loss to
Purdue in the Builders Square Alamo Bowl.

A 36-33 loss to Texas A&M in the Big 12
Championship sent the previously
undefeated Wildcats to San Antonio to face
the 8-4, unranked Boilermakers. Coach Bill
Snyder said K-State's mediocre performance
was an effect of the setback.

"I thought we were pretty lethargic. I
think we are still reeling from three weeks
ago," Snyder said. "I had hoped that wouldn't
be the case, but I can't say I wasn't concerned
about it.

"I think everybody tried not to let that
have an impact on this ball game," he said.
"Tonight was a culmination of maybe three
weeks of disappointment."

Before the game, K-State not only had to
deal with the disappointment, but they also
had to deal with Purdue's revered air attack
— something that had tormented the
Wildcats the three previous games when
they gave up a total of eight touchdown
passes.

Purdue came in averaging 323.7 yards
passing per game and almost four touchdown
passes per game with their Big Ten Offensive
Player-of-the-Year quarterback Drew Brees.

With the exception of the Boilermakers'
final scoring drive, which Brees orchestrated,
his 25 of 53 passing for 230 yards and three
touchdowns were well below average. The
Wildcats' defense, which appeared to have

recovered from three weeks prior, also
intercepted Brees three times.

"We might have played bad the last four
or five games," junior safety Lamar Chapman
said. "Tonight, I think we played pretty well. "

The defense played well until the
Boilermaker's final drive starting with 1
minute, 24 seconds to play. Brees' passes
sliced through the secondary — going 80
yards in six plays and 54 seconds. The drive
ended with a game-winning, 24-yard strike
to receiver Isaac Jones.

The Wildcat offense sputtered for more
than three quarters as Bishop threw for 182
yards on 9-for-24 passing and three
touchdowns and four interceptions. He
averaged 237 yards per game passing and
had only thrown four interceptions in the
Wildcats' previous 12 games. The
interceptions thrown against the
Boilermakers came from trying too hard to
set the tone, Bishop said.

"I think some plays I wanted to get
something going and get the crowd into it
and get everybody in their right place," he
said. "I may have pressed a little bit too hard
and made some mental mistakes, and some
of those mistakes hurt us."

Purdue safety Billy Gustin picked off two
Bishop passes while safety Adrian Beasley
and linebacker John Reeves each added one.
Reeves' interception came from a desperation
throw on the final play of the game.

Snyder compared the scene in the locker
room after the game to the environment after
the Big 12 Championship.

"I think basically what we talked about
was reminiscent of three weeks ago," Snyder
said. "I don't think there's any reason for
them to lose sight of the fact that they won 1 1
ball games.

"They did so many positive things
throughout the course of the year," he said. "I
told them I understand their pain and their
hurt and that it was, again, something that
we have to be strong enough to overcome."

THE

SPORTS

constantly evolved to accommo-
date needs for the future. Innovation en-
hanced K-State athletes, competition and fa-
cilities. As a result, improvements in athletes'
strength and speed became evident to the Big
12, which named strength coach Rod Cole Co-
Strength and Conditioning Professional of the
Year. In the realm of new competition, the
Department of Intercollegiate Athletics con-
sidered adding another women's varsity sport
to move closer to compliance with Title IX
requirements. Facility- wise, KSU Stadium ex-
pansion, which began after the final
home football game of the season,
took the stadium's capacity
from 42,000 to about
46,000. Plans for future
facilities included a new
weight room in Ahearn Field House and recre-
ational fields at Hunters Island for club sport
use. The sports developments inspired the
question, "What would the millenium have in
store for K-State athletics?"

to strengthen its athletes was

ks far as strength coach Rod Cole was
concerned, he did not need space-age
technology to make athletes bigger, faster
and stronger. All he needed was a few weights
and effort from the people he trained.

"Man seeks better methods, but the
answer is in character and hard work," Cole
said. "Strength programs vary tremendously .
Someone can be on the opposite end of the
spectrum from where we are here at Kansas
State and still be very successful."

Cole gave Michigan as an example of a
program that used completely different
methods in strength and conditioning but
still had excellent results. Michigan won a
share of the 1997 NCAA football national
championship. What K-State and Michigan
shared were athletes willing to work hard in
the weight room, Cole said.

It was not that Cole, 1998 Co-Big 12
Strength and Conditioning Professional of
the Year, didn't seek new methods for
training, but he said nothing worked unless
the athlete gave maximum effort.

A sign above Cole's office in the Newell
Strength Facility at the Vanier Football
Complex stated the K-State strength and
conditioning objective: "Kansas State football:
What will we do this year? Work hard."

While hard work was the key to strength
and conditioning success, Cole said he still
searched for better ways to train. One of the
newer techniques Cole implemented at K-
State included using chains on the end of the
bars at the squat racks. As the athlete pushed
the bar upward, the chains came off the floor,
making it heavier.

Although the methods changed rapidly,
the machines and facilities did not, men's

basketball strength coach Marty Lehman said.

"We've got the Cadillac of equipment,"
Lehman said. "We just need more of it."

Cole ranked K-State's strength and
conditioning facilities seventh or eighth in
the Big 12. He said a feasible expansion of the
8,000-square-foot Newell facility would put
K-State in the top four or five.

But athletic director Max Urick said
building a new strength training facility for
the Olympic sport teams was a bigger need
than expanding the Newell facility.

"Our goal is to have strength and
conditioning facilities at each of the venues
where our people practice and work out,"
Urick said. "Our next goal is to have one in
Ahearn or the Ahearn area."

After the Department of Intercollegiate
Athletics built a 1,200-square-foot weight
room for the basketball teams in November
1998 in Bramlage Coliseum, the next area of
concern was Ahearn Field House. The
volleyball, track, tennis, rowing and golf
teams' offices were each located there.

Urick couldn't predict when the Ahearn
weight room modifications would start, but
he said they wouldn't begin in the 1999 fiscal
year.

A new weight room in Ahearn would
end the overcrowding problem in the Newell
facility, but it might not be the most important
reason to improve facilities, Cole said.

"One of the reasons having new, shiny,
impressive weight rooms and impressive
equipment is recruiting," Cole said. "If I'm
an 18-year-old high school student, and I go
look at five different universities, and one
has a weight room that is obviously more
shoddy than the others, I'm not going there."

s a four-year letter winner in soccer
at Blue Valley Northwest High School in
Overland Park, Kan., Amanda Sweeten
searched for a university where she could
continue her athletic career.

In spring 1995, Sweeten said she sat in
athletic director Max Urick's office and asked
him if women's soccer would become a
varsity sport at K-State. He said the university
would someday have women's varsity soccer.

"That's the reason I came up here,"
Sweeten, senior in fine arts, said. "I still have
yet to see it."

Sweeten turned down a soccer
scholarship offer from the University of
Missouri-Rolla to attend K-State. She
graduated in spring 1999 without ever
playing a varsity soccer game.

Although Sweeten never saw K-State, the
only school in the Big 12 without a women's
varsity soccer team, with anything more than
a club soccer team, there was still a possible
future for the sport at the university.

In the spring, the Department of
Intercollegiate Athletics considered adding
women's archery, bowling, equestrian,
lacrosse, riflery, soccer, softball or
swimming/diving to varsity status.

To be in compliance with Title IX, which
forced NCAA members to have the same
proportion of women on athletic scholarship
to women enrolled as men on athletic
scholarship to men enrolled, K-State needed
about 65 more women on athletic scholarship.

K-State added women's rowing in 1997,
and Urick said the Department of
Intercollegiate Athletics wanted the sport to
get off the ground before adding another.

"We committed at that time that we would

1276

not consider a sport for five years to make
sure that sport had a chance to get off the
ground," Urick said. "That's the one thing
we want to do is make sure we don't
negatively impact any of our current
programs."

Urick said the department wouldn't
follow the five-year rule strictly because the
rowing team's participation and funding was
strong enough to not be affected by the
addition of a new sport.

The decision of which sport would get
the nod depended on the effect on existing
sports, number of participants, facility
requirements, number of coaches, nature of
the sport, competition opportunities,
governing rules, equipment, cost and spatial
considerations.

"I think every sport that is a possibility
has an equal chance," assistant athletic
director Erick Harper said.

Three-year softball club member Jenny
Rose, senior in accounting, said she didn't
believe softball would become the next varsity
sport at K-State even though 10 of the 12
schools in the Big 12 had softball.

"They always get overlooked," Rose said.
"They think it's too expensive to buy
equipment, but we've already got half the
equipment."

Regardless of what became the next
varsity sport at K-State, Harper said he didn't
know the time frame the department was
looking at. The only certainty was nothing
would happen until money became available.

"I'm sure it wouldn't be any sooner than
the 2000-2001 academic year," Harper said.
"I don't know exactly what our goal is. What
it all boils down to is funding."

lacrosse, K-State's most successful club
sport in school history, secured its roots on
the south side of Memorial Stadium's field in
1989.

In the Lacrosse Club's nine-year existence,
it won more than 80 percent of its games, but
that didn't stop it from losing its practice
field to the Anderson Avenue expansion.

"It's kind of like the loss of an era," club
president, coach and player Jay Sweet, senior
in architectural engineering, said. "This is
where we started."

When Bayer Construction Co. Inc.,
ironically the company Sweet worked for,
started tearing into the open lot south of
Memorial Stadium, the Lacrosse Club lost its
practice area forever.

Although the team continued to play
games at Memorial Stadium, it was forced to
search for a new place to practice. Sweet
found a temporary home in Fremont Park,
an empty lot he used to mow for the Riley
County Parks Department.

The Rugby Club faced the same problem.

Last summer, the Rugby Club switched
from Memorial Stadium to the lot between
the Chester E. Peters Recreational Complex
and the east parking lot of KSU Stadium.

Club president Wes DeLong, fifth-year
senior in architectural engineering, said the
lot was used for parking during football
games, so the club nicknamed it "the slab."

"It's usually pretty hard ground. Every
now and then there's charcoal, beer bottle
caps and sometimes broken glass," DeLong
said. "It's not the ideal place."

The club played its home games at a field
near Tuttle Creek, but it continued to search
for a permanent home, DeLong said.

I2za_

Matt Truta, collegiate captain of the team
and senior in history, said the club was not in
danger of becoming extinct, but a better
facility would greatly help its situation.

"The club will always be around I'm sure,"
Truta said. "It would be a lot easier for
everybody if we had a better place to play."

The lacrosse and rugby clubs'
predicaments could be remedied with the
Division of Facilities' plans to turn a 12-acre
plot of land south of Manhattan into a
recreational field park.

"We scoured the city trying to find a place
that was suitable for club sports," Mark
Taussig, university landscape architect, said.
"We wanted it to be close, as close as we
could get it. We wanted it to have at least
three or four fields so they could rotate and
not have to play on the same field every
day."

The area, named Hunters Island because
of its location west of the Kansas River and
south of Wildcat Creek, was a former mobile
home park. The land had no housing potential
because of its frequent flooding.

Riley County owned the land, but if the
university improved Hunters Island by
creating recreational fields, it would have
unlimited free access to it, Taussig said.

"We've gone and visited with the
commissioners once, and putting words in
their mouths, they said it was a very positive
meeting," Taussig said. "They thought it
was a very good use of that site — for
recreation."

Hunters Island had enough room for

restrooms, a storage building, about 200

parking spaces and eight full-sized rugby

fields.

"All we need is money," Taussig said
about the project's holdback. "We need a
lot of money."

Taussig said the total project with eight
fields would cost about $1 million. Since the
funds had yet to be raised, Taussig said he
did not know when they would be able to
break ground for the project.

"I have no time frame," Taussig said. "If
we wait too long, we'll probably lose the
site."

After the Hunters Island project, the
next goal for K-State Facilities would be
Memorial Stadium renovations.

"The long-term plan is to have Memorial
Stadium be the gamefield, and the Hunters

Island site, or whatever other site, would be
the practice site," Taussig said. "So
Memorial Stadium would be preserved in a
game-field type condition."

The KSU Alumni Center, scheduled to
begin construction this summer, would sit
south of Memorial Stadium.

Following construction of the Alumni
Center, the KSU Alumni Association would
contribute $125,000 for Memorial Stadium
field improvements, Taussig said.

Memorial Stadium would be used for
lacrosse and soccer games.

Sweet questioned the intelligence of
building the Alumni Center at the end of
the lacrosse field.

"If they're going to build this building,

did they really consider there would be a 2-
1/2 inch in diameter rubber ball coming at
it at 100-miles-per-hour?" Sweet asked.

Taussig said the solution to that problem
would be a net that would catch any flying
lacrosse or soccer ball headed toward the
building, similar to a net behind the
goalposts at a football field.

Regardless of Taussig's hopes, any of
the Hunters Island or Memorial Stadium
plans would die without funding. If the
plans for the facilities fell through, club
team members wouldn't allow the clubs to
die out, Sweet said.

"Guys who play lacrosse, rugby and
soccer love their game," Sweet said. "We're
going to find a place to play-"

MOST

improved

Throughout a turbulent season filled
with injuries to key players and new team
members learning their roles on the
women's basketball team, junior forward
Nicky Ramage was the calm within the
storm.

Following a quiet sophomore campaign, Ramage
responded by leading the Wildcats with 13.8 points per
game and 6.5 rebounds.

The source of Ramage's improved play wasn't any-
thing out of the ordinary according to Coach Deb
Patterson, who said maturity was the driving force be-
hind her performance.

"Some players just stay where they're at and don't take steps forward," Patterson said.
"Nicky just insisted she would grow and improve."

Ramage's dedication to improving her play down low was known immediately,
following a career high 27-point outing in K-State's season-opening 63-62 loss to Ohio
State.

After her breakthrough performance, Ramage led the Wildcats in scoring in 12
games.

The sudden emergence inside helped ease the temporary loss of center Angie Finkes,
who sat out the home stretch of Big 12 conference play following an ankle injury suffered
prior to K-State's 70-63 victory against Iowa State Feb. 10.

Without another experienced post player in the Wildcats' lineup, Ramage said
producing inside was the best way to help the team win.

"Everyone on the team has their roles," she said. "If someone's down a night and not
shooting well, someone else needs to step up. Everyone is there for everybody."

But the fact that Finkes wasn't there for a majority of the season made it difficult on
Ramage, who formed a solid bond with the Wildcat center after rooming together their
freshman year.

"When I met her, it just seemed like we were sisters," Ramage said. "She was just like
me, and we would say the same things at the same time, and we still do today."

This off-court fusion quickly turned into a productive relationship on the court, where
the two often fed off each other's emotion. Behind this tag-team effort, the Wildcats
experienced positive results.

"Each player brings a unique perspective to the floor," Patterson said. "There's a real
symbiotic relationship between the two."

The similarities between Finkes and Ramage extended to awards as well. While
Finkes earned honorable mention All-Big 12 status for the second consecutive season,
Ramage's contribution earned a spot on the league's third team.

Finally earning the rewards of a season-long dedication to improving on the court and
in the weight room, Finkes said she couldn't be happier for her friend.

"She has tons and tons of athletic talent," Finkes said, "and to see her take it to the level
of being considered one of the Big 12's best players is just awesome."

despite injuries to several key players, team
knocks off several ranked opponents

►The women's basketball team endured injuries and inexperience, but it persevered
to finish with a 14-12 regular-season record, knocking off four nationally-ranked teams
along the way.

Coach Deb Patterson credited the team's persistence with overcoming obstacles.

"They're tough," Patterson said. "I don't know of many teams that have played 21
of 28 games against the top 75 teams in the nation, have no seniors on the roster and have
the magnitude of injuries we've had and are still in postseason play."

The misfortune began with injuries striking the team in the preseason. In addition to
September leg surgeries for junior college transfer center Olga Firsova and sophomore
guard Kim Woodlee, sophomore guard Dee DeShay reinjured her knee in an off-season
workout, causing her to miss the entire season. As if that weren't enough, an injury ended
the season of senior forward Heather Smith.

A season-ending injury to senior guard Jenny Coalson on opening night left the
guard positions in the hands of freshmen Essence Perry, Kristin Rethman and a
recuperating Woodlee. It also left Patterson wondering if her team's hopes of Big 12
contention were dead.

"I thought, 'It's going to be a long season,' and, 'How are we ever going to win any
games in this league?' " Patterson said.

The Wildcats played a schedule featuring seven nationally-ranked teams and 10
eventual NCAA tournament qualifiers.

"Knowing the challenging schedule we had before us, there was some concern,"
Patterson said. "But, we also understood it was an opportunity for us to get tougher."

The season began with the Wildcats falling just short of a victory over Ohio State.

Junior forward Nicky Ramage sparked the team, tying a career high with 27 points,
while junior Angie Finkes chipped in 12.

The two would remain at the forefront for much of the season, finishing first and
second on the team in scoring and rebounding. Ramage put up 13.8 points and 6.5 boards
per game, while Finkes averaged 12.1 and 6.1. Perhaps more importantly, the duo took
up the leadership role left by Coalson's and Smith's injuries, Patterson said.

"They had to be the example of work ethic, of consistency, of what is and isn't
acceptable on and off the floor," she said. "While we impart the message, they truly are
the example."

After alternating blowout wins with losses for the rest of the season's opening month,
the Wildcats found their stride in December. Despite fractured hands for Perry and
Rethman occurring during the month, the squad stormed through with a 5-0 record. The
team capped off the month with a 66-64 upset of No. 24 Santa Clara Dec. 30 in California.

K-State couldn't sustain its fire into January. The Wildcats managed a 79-67 upset of
No. 19 Nebraska Jan. 13 in Bramlage Coliseum but logged a 3-5 record for the remainder
of the first month in conference play.

Patterson said the youthful Wildcats had trouble coping with the grind of the Big 12.

"Sometimes it wears on you right around mid-January," she said. "You think you've
got it and begin to give yourself a little more slack than maybe you should."

The team started February with consecutive wins over Colorado and No. 16 Iowa
State. Then a stress fracture forced Finkes to the sidelines.

With sophomore forward Brandy Harris playing out of position and junior Olga
Firsova playing increased minutes to replace Finkes, the Wildcats lost four straight
games in the middle of February.

"(Harris) did everything humanly possible to help us succeed," Patterson said. "The
problem was we weren't doing what we do. We had to simplify everything."

Finkes picked an ideal time to return. After playing limited minutes in a loss to
Nebraska, she returned healthy for the first time to face No. 22 Kansas Feb. 27 in front
of a Bramlage crowd of 8,015 — the second highest in the history of the women's

team sustains injuries and beats the

program. The Wildcats proceeded to put on a show, surging to a 69-58 win in the regular-
season finale. Finkes returned with a vengeance with a career-high 28 points.

"When I came back, I was ready to go full speed, because I knew we were good enough

to beat the teams we play," Finkes said. "This
proves to us that we're good enough to go
into the Big 12 tournament."

The Wildcats rode the momentum to a
55-51 victory over Colorado in the opening
round of the tournament, then lost 74-55 in
the quarterfinals to regular-season Big 12
champion Texas Tech.

Perry said the team's 7-9 record in a
strong Big 12 was gratifying given the ad-
verse circumstances.

"With all the ups and downs that we've
had and the injuries, I feel that we've done a
great job this year," she said.

Patterson said one of the contributing
factors that helped the Wildcats through the
season was the growing fan following,
which boosted K-State to a new record of
3,210 fans per game in home attendance.

"There are a zillion X's and O's, but
there's also that emotional edge you bring to
the floor whenever you play at home,"
Patterson said. "It's phenomenal to see the
support that people in the community and
across our campus have been willing to
show us. I just see this thing continuing to grow.

"Can we build this into a women's basketball powerhouse?" Patterson asked. "Abso-
lutely."

THE PLAYERS

For the first time in her career,
junior Anna Whitham earned
all-America honors in the
weight throw at the NCAA
Championships March 6 in In-
dianapolis. She finished in
eighth place with a throw of 62
feet, 8 inches. Senior Renetta
Seiler, who entered the com-
petition ranked No. 1 in the
nation, joined her with all-
America honors in the weight
throw placing fourth with a
throw of 67 feet, 2-1/4
inches.

Senior high jumper Charles

Burney — the only represen-
tative for the men's team at
the NCAA Championships —
improved upon his 1998 per-
formance at the champion-
ships, where he placed 15th
inthehighjumpwithaleapof
6 feet, 10-1/4 inches. In
1999, he finished in 10th
place with a jump of 7 feet,
1-1/2 inches. Burney's best
leap of the season was 7 feet,
3-1/4 inches at the KSU-KU-
Missouri Triangular Jan. 23 in
Ahearn Field House.

The only Wildcat to set a per-

sonal record at the NCAA
Championships, junior Erin
Anderson, placed ninth in
pole vault with a vault of 12
feet, 7-1 /2 inches. That vault
set the K-State women's all-
time record. Anderson was
one place shy of receiving all-
America honors.

■ ►The women's track team culminated its season with a fourth-place finish at the Big 12
Indoor Championships Feb. 19 and 20 in Ahearn Field House.

Senior thrower Renetta Seiler led the team with a first-place throw in weight throw and
a second-place finish in shot put.

Seiler said her performance in the shot, and the competition in general, satisfied her more
than her first-place performance in the weight throw. She threw a personal record of 51 feet,
3 inches in the competition.

"It was probably the best I've ever done at any meet," Seiler said. "The atmosphere was
awesome. I was having an 'A' day."

Seiler said the crowd, which consisted mostly of the women throwers' families, contrib-
uted to her performance.

"The crowd got excited, and that gets everyone pumped up," Seiler said. "When the
crowd gets excited, it makes you try just a little bit harder."

The lack of pressure Seiler said she felt during the shot put competition didn't flow into
the weight-throw competition. She entered the competition as the favorite, but she fouled her
first two throws of the preliminary round. On her third and final throw, she unleashed a
bomb that qualified for the finals.

"I was a little nervous. Anna (Whitham) said she wasn't nervous, and the coaches said
they weren't nervous," Seiler said. "After the competition, I went up to my family and friends
and said, 'Imagine how nervous you were, then multiply that by 10. That's how nervous I
was.' "

The Wildcats ended up taking first and second place in the weight throw with Seiler
grabbing the gold with a throw of 66 feet, 7 inches and junior Anna Whitham clinching
second with a throw of 62 feet, 11-1/4 inches.

"The weight was an average performance for her," Coach Cliff Rovelto said about Seller's
performance. "That shows how much better she is than the majority of her competition."

Some of the other top Wildcat performances at the Big 12 Championships included senior
Darcy Morris placing second in the 600-yard run, junior Erin Anderson placing second in
pole vault, sophomore Carmen Wright placing second in the pentathlon and sophomore
Amanda Crouse placing third in the 1,000-meter run.

Morris credited the success to the team's hard work throughout the season after being
atop the United States Track Coaches Association's power ratings.

"If you're expected to be the best, you try to live up to it," Morris said. "A lot of times, if
you're not expected to be the best, you don't try as hard."

- ►Although the rankings didn't reflect it, the men's team probably had a better meet than
the women's team at the Big 12 Championships, Coach Cliff Rovelto said. The women
finished fourth while the men tied for fifth place in the championships.

"We hoped the women would be in the top three, and I thought the men could place as
low as ninth," he said. "In terms of maximizing what our capabilities are, the men did a better
job than the women did because we could have easily been ninth in the meet. There really
isn't much way at all that we could have been any higher than what we did place."

places in the event while sophomore Justin Robinson took fifth place.

Zsivoczky won with a score of 5,702 points — the nation's highest score of the year —
but he didn't match his personal record of 5,786 points.

"With the score, I was disappointed," Zsivoczky said, "but I won, so overall, I am
satisfied."

Williams said the group of athletes knew they had the potential to sweep the
heptathlon before the competition.

"We had the attitude that we needed to get things done," Williams said. "We knew we
had the talent to sweep the heptathlon. Our coaches told us we can do it, so we went out
and got it done."

Weiler said preparations before the meet led to his good performance.

"I was just ready for it," Weiler said. "Practice was good for the few weeks before the
meet, and that was a good sign."

Other top Wildcat performers at the meet were Charles Burney, who placed third in

They were sick of stereotypes.
"Ultimate Frisbee has a reputation of being a sport for the
hippie, doped-up people," said T.J. Tomlin, president of the
Ultimate Frisbee Club and senior in history.

"In all actuality, we are just as athletic and
dedicated to our sport as any other athlete is
to their sport."

Then again, they never claimed to be like
other athletes.

A baseball player never called his own
strike. An offensive lineman never threw his
own flag after holding a defender. A basket-
ball player never blew the whistle on him-
self after traveling. That was the difference
between the Flying Dorthys, the Ultimate
Frisbee Club, and teams of more typical
sports. The Flying Dorthys followed the rule
known to Ultimate Frisbee players as "the
spirit of the game."

"The biggest reason why the spirit of the
game is so important to us is because it
makes ourselves police our actions," Paul
Hare, Flying Dorthys member, said. "Ulti-
mate really prides itself on that key rule
alone."

Club members played for more than the
ability to call their own fouls. They also
played for the freedom the sport offered.

"I really don't like playing organized
sports like soccer. With Ultimate it is very
loose and easy to pick up," Michelle
Randecker, Flying Dorthys member, said.
"Also, when we practice out here, there are
no set teams. We just pick which side we
want to play on that day and go from there."

Shawn Kokenge, Flying Dorthys mem-
ber since 1992, said Ultimate Frisbee players
were traditionally free spirited, but they did
not lack skill. He said Ultimate Frisbee's use
of a disc demanded a skill not found in most
people. Players had to master throwing the
disc downfield and making it hover, rise or
change direction.

The Flying Dorthys put those skills to the
test when they competed against other colle-

giate teams spring semester.

"The college season is a little more fun for
us because we travel to a tournament in

Lawrence and some other tournaments
where there is a younger, college crowd,"
John Pitman, fifth-year senior in architec-
ture, said. "That's where we get to play
against people of our own caliber."

During fall season, the Flying Dorthys
competed against club teams. Pitman said
the club season had the most difficult compe-
tition because of the experienced players, but
the Flying Dorthys still fared well at a re-
gional tournament in Missouri where they
placed fourth.

"We were really playing out of our
league," Pitman said. "But to play Frisbee in
Kansas you have to take any opportunity
you can get."

AT REGIONALS

e water ski team's wave of momentum crashed short of its
goa! — a national tournament berth.

Although the team captured both tourna-
ment titles in the spring, team members said
the meets were merely practice for the re-
gional tournament, the gateway to nationals.

"There were a lot of people who were
really competitive," sophomore Lisa Leath-
erwood said. "We were out for blood know-
ing it was a possibility going to nationals."

In preparation, the team traveled to a
water ski school in Zachary, La., during
spring break in 1998. Professional skiers
taught the school, which heightened the
team's skill level, senior Jaime Arb said.

"It was neat to learn from people who do
this for a living," she said. "It would be like
going to basketball camp with Michael Jor-
dan if you were into that sort of thing."

Team members started the spring season
by hosting the K-State Wildcat Invitational
April 18 and 19 at Super Lake near Emporia,
Kan. Seven members placed individually,
resulting in a team title.

Seniors Kelly Klein and Dustin Manhart
tied for second in slalom, but it was sopho-
more Cory Huey who dominated the men's
field. Huey placed 10th in trick, and first in
slalom and jump, which earned him the over-
all title.

"It's been my strongest year yet," Huey
said. "I had a couple of personal bests. I didn't
expect much, but it turned out well."

The women also turned in high scores.
Leatherwood took first in slalom, Arb fin-
ished second in trick, and senior Kay Lynn
Summervill secured second in jump. The
combined team results put the Wildcats in
first ahead of KU, Iowa and Iowa State.

The team rode the wave of victory into the
Mo-Kan Tournament April 25 and 26 in
Lawrence. The team once again defeated the
Jayhawks and placed first. Leatherwood
skied another first-place run in slalom, and
Arb finished second in jump and first in trick.

Team members said they had high expec-
tations for the Oct. 3 and 4 Midwest Colle-
giate Regional Water Ski Tournament. The
expectations seemed achievable with Leath-
erwood returning to defend her slalom title
and the team's spring season growth.

However, those hopes began to falter

when the team saw the competition, Arb
said.

"We thought we had improved a lot, but
when we got there, everyone else had im-
proved, too," she said. "We had kind of been
in the middle of the pack, and everyone got
better, and we moved into the same spot."

A national berth slipped farther away

when the women's slalom competition be-
gan. Leatherwood, the team's expected top
finisher, said she became discouraged while
waiting for her run.

"I was really nervous about it," she said.
"The girls who skied before me had already
skied better than my personal best."

Leatherwood finished seventh in the
event, and Arb took seventh in trick and
ninth overall, which were the highest plac-
ings for the team. The team finished fifth and
was again denied a shot at nationals.

Team members attributed some of the
fall season's momentum loss to the lack of a
jump ramp. The team's jump at Tuttle Creek
Reservoir was broken, so members traveled
almost 80 miles on weekends to practice.

However, temporary loss of the ramp
would be a gain for future teams, Huey said.

"I always went home to Topeka to prac-
tice to jump because our jump was sub-par,"
he said. "We all worked to build a new jump,
and we upgraded it from wood to steel. It
should help a lot. The last jump really hin-
dered the team."

slalom, after successfully skiing
at 34 mph, the rope length was
shortened. Rankings were
determined by how many buoys
the women completed at each
rope length. Leatherwood said
her rival beat her at regionals.
"The girl that got second skied
five at 22 off, and my best was
three at 22 off," she said. "She
was the one I was out to beat."

practice jumping. Senior Jaime

TO THE WALL

A matchup rivaling the likes of David and Goliath took shape in
the second round of the women's intramural wallyball tourna-
ment.

Christy Crow, freshman in journalism
and mass communications, and Andrea
Heinrich, freshman in elementary educa-
tion, faced veteran volleyball players Jennie
Roberts, senior in marketing and interna-
tional business, and Kori Gilliland, senior in
elementary education. The contest did not
look promising for Crow and Heinrich from
the beginning.

"I think they got a kick out of it when we
said, 'How do you play?' " Crow said.

Roberts said the question told her who
she and Gilliland were up against. Roberts
and Gilliland not only knew how to play
wallyball but had already won a champion-
ship in the sport. Their titles included the
1998 women's intramural wallyball champi-
onship and the 1998 women's intramural
doubles volleyball championship.

"When you meet up with them and they
say, 'How do you play?' you kind of know
it's going to be an easy match," Roberts said.
"I like to play people who challenge us a
little bit."

Gilliland said the inexperience of Crow
and Heinrich, who advanced to the second
round because of a forfeit, both disap-
pointed and amused her.

"I'm a really competitive person,"
Gilliland said. "I would rather play against
somebody who is good than have an easy
game, but yes, I thought it was funny."

The laughs stopped there. It took Roberts
and Gilliland eight minutes of playing time
to dispose of Crow and Heinrich 15-3, 15-5.

Roberts and Gilliland each served five
aces in the first game. The ball rarely crossed
over the net more than twice on any given
play, and neither team communicated much
more than "good serve" or "nice hit."

In the second game, both teams managed
a couple of rallies, and the ball actually flew
over the net more than twice per play. In the
middle of the game, Crow complained
about the pain induced from bumping the
wallyball, which was basically a racquetball
the size of a volleyball. Roberts and Gilliland

kept their game faces and won again in quick
fashion.

Roberts said she was pleased with her
team's performance.

"I think we played good," Roberts said.
"We were still trying to get into the groove
with all the angles, but once
we got warmed up, we
didn't make too many mis-
takes."

Roberts credited the win
to the amount of time they
had playing volleyball and
wallyball together.

"We play together really
well," Roberts said. "We've
been playing together so
long we just kind of know
what each other is going to
do."

The two started playing
volleyball together when
they were sophomores in
high school. Occasionally,
they found a racquetball
court to set up a wallyball
game.

Gilliland said they
prefered to play volleyball to wallyball, but
they entered the wallyball tournament out of
necessity.

"We love volleyball, and this was the
only intramural volleyball going on at the
time," Gilliland said, "so we decided to play
in it."

Crow and Heinrich entered the tourna-
ment for different reasons.

"It sounded like fun," Heinrich said. "It
was also something for the house."

The two, who competed for Gamma Phi
Beta sorority even though wallyball didn't
count for points in intramural standings,
said they didn't expect to face such a good
team so early.

"We were hoping we were playing some-
one who didn't know how to play either,"
Crow said. "They were very good."

Talking Tra

WITH HECKLING KINGS

For more than 60 minutes, K-State's most noticeable fans
bombarded the KU basketball team with an endless barrage of
insults and name calling.

■

That was before tip off.

A bottle of green Chloroseptic, expira-
tion date September 1994, became the only
relief for the incessant heckling of the lei-
sure-suit clad superfans, as they liked to be
called.

"We actually use it," original superfan
Brad Daily, 1997 graduate, said. "We lose
our voices before the game."

Brandon Bell, December 1998 graduate,
and also an original superfan, said the group
of friends came together to draw attention to
themselves for the K-State vs. Wichita State
game in 1993. The group members, known
for camping out before home games, wear-
ing referee shirts, standing behind the K-
State bench and generally acting obnoxious,
lost their voices at Wildcat home games ever
since.

At the KU game Feb. 1 in Bramlage Coli-
seum, each of the seven superfans in atten-
dance, except Brad Kracht, wore an afro wig
during the game; Kracht's afro was real.

Bell said the group wore leisure suits and
afros for the KU game because they figured
the rivalry demanded unusual attire.

"Each game we just ref it out," Bell said.
"We do something special for the KU game. "

Kracht, junior in industrial engineering,
said attention motivated the group to wear
the 1970s clothes.

"Everybody wants their 15 minutes of
fame," Kracht, a two-year superfan, said.

And superfans said they had obtained
that fame.

"Everybody here knows who we are,"
added Brandon Durant, first-year superfan
and senior in microbiology.

The extra attention wasn't only meant
for photographers and television cameras,
although they received plenty of attention
from both. It was also meant for KU's basket-
ball team, Daily said.

"If they're paying attention to us, they're
not paying attention to the game," he said.

The superfans received several looks
from KU basketball players during the typi-
cal pre-game tongue lashing.

"I'm sorry Nicky. That was a dirty crack,"
Bell yelled at KU forward Nick Bradford
during the ceaseless trash talking. "Speaking
of dirty cracks, how's your daddy?"

The ruthless shower of insults continued
to flow from all seven superfans after a K-
State basketball team staff member handed

hearts during the singing of the national anthem in Bramlage Coliseum

them a KU-player biography sheet.

In the superfans' five previous years of
heckling, the Wildcats never defeated KU in
Bramlage, but before the game, Bell made the
prediction. In honor of the game's coverage
on ESPN, he wrote on the dry-erase board
the superfans took to all the games, "Every
Superfan ref Predicts Now is the time. The
streak ends."

The streak didn't end. KU handed the
Wildcats a 69-46 loss.

"I'm pissed," Bell said after the game.
"That's the sixth in a row for me."

Daily, a student at the KU Medical Cen-
ter, said he wasn't looking forward to school
the next day, where he would hear about the
game from his KU-fan peers.

Although the Wildcats let Daily down
again, he said he planned to return to K-State
as a team doctor, but he gave one condition.

"Only if Asbury lets me wear the afro,"
Daily said. "I'm not really a suit and tie guy."

Ayome "Paco" May made his name at K-State
largely because of his versatility. At one time or
another, the jack-of-all-trades filled about ev-

"Paco's had to wear a lot of hats, both as a starter and a
reserve, as a point guard, shooting guard and small forward,
and in the NCAA tournament as well as the NIT," assistant
coach Mark Fox said. "He's been through a lot."

On Nov. 2, May put on a hat he had hoped not to wear
during his career at K-State — that of an ex-basketball player.

Entering fall practice, May stood at the edge of five years
of sweat and sacrifice. However, suffering from an intestinal
disorder, he announced he would forgo his senior season.

"I think Paco's condition was just killing him mentally,"
Coach Tom Asbury said. "He told me 'Coach, I can't play with this.' "

Although his body found relief away from the basketball court, May's heart refused
to leave it. Playing was painful, but May said allowing his senior season to slip through
his fingers would have been too much to bear. /

After two weeks, May decided to try a new role: comeback kid.

"I just wanted to finish my last year out," May said. "I've been feeling this way a long
time. I just wanted to end my senior season."

May didn't return to a storybook season. After showing early promise, the Wildcats
faded down the stretch, finishing seventh in the Big 12 and out of the NCAA tournament
for the third straight year.

Through the team's struggles, May kept up his hustling brand of play, Fox said.

"It certainly shows the amount of character and toughness he has to battle through (his
illness) and still be able to perform both on the floor during games and in the classroom,"
Fox said. "He's been a real example to our younger players that when you work hard both
on and off the floor, good things will happen."

Junior college transfer Cortez Groves, who led the Wildcats in scoring, credited May
as one of the reasons for his successful transition to Division I basketball.

"He's been a big mentor to me," Groves said. "Coaches just yell at me, but Paco comes
around and tells me how in positive ways. That's been a real motivator to me."

On a team characterized by contrasts between veterans and rookies, underachievers
and overachievers, May played in the middle ground. Wildcat coaches depended on
May's steady defense.

"He's been probably our best defensive player on the perimeter," Fox said. "He's been
very valuable at both ends of the floor. He can recognize if he's making a mistake and
sometimes correct himself. He just does what he needs to do."

Despite all of the ways May helped the basketball program on the court during his five
years, Fox's fondest memories of the man nicknamed Paco were not those of basketball
glories. He said he thought of the homesick freshman who grew to bear difficulties with
good humor and grace.

"I think that's going to be my favorite memory: seeing where he started and the
growth he's been through," Fox said. "He's a very class person, and he's been an
outstanding person to be around for five years."

season characterized by missed opportunities,
but team advances to big 12 semifinal round

► The men's basketball team was no stranger to dropping large leads during the season,
but the team didn't stay true to form in the second round of the Big 12 Tournament
against No. 22 Missouri.

It almost looked as if the team would fold against Missouri and drop a 20-point lead
before its 84-74 victory March 5 at Kemper Arena in Kansas City, Mo.

Senior forward Manny Dies dunked ah
Ayome May fast break pass into the basket
to silence a late 9-3 Tiger run and propel the
Wildcats into the semifinal matchup against
Kansas.

"We just wouldn't quit," May, a senior
guard, said. "We weren't going to lose this
game. We played well all around and stuck
with it."

K-State shot 48 percent from the field
and posted five players in double figures.
Defensively, the Wildcats shut down the
offensive-efficient Tigers by forcing them to
shoot just 35 percent from the field.

With the Wildcats upsetting Missouri
and putting up strong shooting percentages
in the tournament, May said K-State was a
different team in postseason play.

"We have a lot of confidence," he said.
"We are hitting open jump shots, and we are
coming to play. They played well, but we
played harder and beat them."

There were times during the season
when the team couldn't hold onto its lead.

The Wildcats went into the locker room at halftime with a 45-29 lead against No. 17
Indiana Nov. 23 at the Maui Invitational in Lahaina, Hawaii. In the second half, Wildcats
couldn't stop the Hoosiers, which outscored K-State 18-5 in the last five minutes to win
71-70.

Another missed opportunity came against No. 21 Oklahoma State Jan. 2 in Stillwater,
Okla. With 11-1 /2 minutes left in the game, the Wildcats had a 14-point lead. Then, the
Cowboys ripped off a 22-2 run. Trailing by six with three minutes to go, K-State bounced
back, and with 20 seconds remaining, senior guard Chris Griffin forced overtime with
a game-tying shot.

Oklahoma State refused to lose on its home floor as it went on to a 75-69 overtime
victory.

Although the lead-relinquishing games hurt the Wildcats, they might not have hurt
as bad as the team's losses to KU. For the fifth-straight year, the team failed to defeat the
Jayhawks. For the 16th year, the Wildcats failed to drop KU in Manhattan.

Instead, KU put together a 22-5 run with 6:18 left in the game and forced K-State to
shoot 31 percent from the floor to pummel the Wildcats 69-46 in front of the largest
Bramlage crowd of the season Feb. 1.

K-State's 46 points represented the second-lowest point total of the season. The 23-
point loss was the Wildcats' worst defeat at home against KU since 1990.

THE PLAYERS

Junior forward Tony Kitt, a

transfer from Colby Commu-
nity College, had an immedi-
ate effect as he led the team
in rebounds at 7.9 boards per
game. He had a 20-rebound
game Dec. 1 against Loyola-
Chicago, and a 19-rebound
game Nov. 24 against Arizona
State. He was named to the
honorable mention All-Big 12
Conference team in a vote by
the league's coaches.

Another transfer, junior

guard Cortez Groves from
Moberly Community College,
led the team in scoring with
10 points per game. He
poured in 21 points against
Missouri in the Wildcats 63-
70losstotheTigersJan.27in
Columbia, Mo. Groves made
36 percent of his three-point
attempts and 70 percent of
his free throws on the season.

With the dismissal of senior
guard Duane Davis due to dis-
ciplinary reasons, senior
guard Chris Griffin was forced
to handle the bulk of the
Wildcats' point guard duties.
He led the team in assists
with 118, steals with 32 and
minutes played per game at
28.6. In the 66-51 win over
Oklahoma Jan. 23, he led the
team in scoring with 16
points. He also scored 13
points in the 84-74 win over
Missouri in the second round
of the Big 12 Tournament
March 5 at Kemper Arena in
Kansas City, Mo.

team has trouble holding on to the

"I want to apologize to our fans and students for that performance," Coach Tom
Asbury said. "I wasn't prepared for that. We did not perform well. I have no excuses. I take
full responsibility for it, because I'm the guy."

May explained the loss in simple terms.

"It's embarrassing. We didn't do anything well. We just didn't compete," May said.
"KU played harder than we did. They wanted to win. It's as simple as that."

Junior guard Josh Reid said he didn't expect the team to play against KU with such
little energy.

"This is probably the most disappointing loss of the year," Reid said. "We thought we
were ready. We just came out flat. It's been a pretty inconsistent year, but this team is never
going to say never."

After losing to KU 62-47 in Lawrence Feb. 17, the third time was almost a charm.

In the Big 12 Tournament, K-State had already knocked off two opponents, Texas
A&M and Missouri, it hadn't beat in regular-season play. It almost looked as if the team
was going to pull off another surprise in postseason play against KU March 6 in the
semifinal of the tournament.

Instead, the Wildcats gave up a one-point lead with five minutes to go and ran out of
gas down the stretch to lose to the third-seed KU 69-58 at Kemper Arena.

"I think they made all the plays down the stretch they needed to," Asbury said. "We
had a chance to win, and we didn't do it. It's not a whole lot more complicated than that."

With K-State playing three games in three days, Asbury said fatigue played a role in
the Wildcats' loss.

"I think we were tired in just the first 10 minutes," he said. "We lost our poise and just
didn't have our legs down the stretch. Then our shots just weren't falling."

By losing in the third round of the tournament, K-State moved to 20-12 on the season
and clinched a National Invitational Tournament berth against Texas Christian. TCU
defeated the Wildcats 72-71 March 10 in Bramlage.

Despite the loss and the NCAA tournament denial, Asbury said he was pleased with
K-State's emotional play in the tournament.

"I think we played really hard at this tournament," he said. "We came here to win this
tournament, and we came up a little short."

housemother sees all, does a

00
o

clovia

It was hard for people to believe Doris Compton's life
story. She said she still had a hard time believing it herself.

"I know it sounds incredible and off the wall, but that's
the way it happened," Compton, Alpha of Clovia's house-
mother, said. "When opportunities arose, I just took them."

The opportunities took the Osborne, Kan., native over-
seas. She spent time in Egypt and Venezuela teaching, direct-
ing and performing in musicals, writing award-winning
poetry and working with the Presbyterian Church.

Compton's travels also allowed her to meet famous
people. A photo in her Clovia apartment depicted her en-
counter with Charles, Prince of Wales.

"That was another one of those things that just hap-
pened," Compton said. "Prince Charles was making an
around-the-world tour. He landed out at the airport, and I
was standing next to him and sang for him."

She experienced another chance meeting when she took
her daughter, Christy, for singing lessons in Cairo. After
Christy performed, the instructor asked Compton to sing
and to come back next week. She then learned he was the
retired director of the Bolshoi Opera Company in Moscow.

"He said, 'Madame, I must teach you all I know about
opera.' For three years, he taught me," Compton said. "Heck,
here I am, Osborne, Kan., studying opera with a Russian. It's
inconceivable that it could have happened, but it did."

Compton attributed her experiences to being in the right
place at the right time. The way she found herself at Clovia
was no exception.

When the housemother job became available, Michelle

Sinn, vice president at the time, thought about Compton.
Sinn had attended the Mahaska Presbyterian Church in
Mahaska, Kan., where Compton was the minister.

"I knew that Doris wanted to live around Manhattan
because of her daughter, but she couldn't afford to do that
unless she had a job lined up," Sinn, 1998 agricultural educa-
tion graduate, said. "I knew she was good with young people
and would be willing to do anything for us."

Sinn's hypothesis was correct. Jennifer Kirkham, presi-
dent and senior in secondary education, said Compton
helped the Clovia women with anything they needed.

"She was an English teacher, so a lot of the girls take their
papers to her to read," Kirkham said. "She also helps plan
menus and is always there for people to talk to."

Cooking Egyptian and Venezuelan meals and sharing
stories of her travels, Compton also brought a different
perspective to the house, Sinn said.

"She brings a worldly aspect to the house," she said. "We
like to hear the stories because many of us might not travel
outside of the country."

Kirkham said Compton's life was encouraging.

"She inspires us to think beyond Kansas," Kirkham said.
"She has done so much. It shows that everyone can have
exciting things in their lives."

Although another opportunity arose for Compton, she
said she would pass.

"I was asked to be part of the Presbyterian project in Iran,
but I'm quite content to stay right here," Compton said. "It's
the right thing for me at this time."

smith men donate a bicycle and help

gran

For one Manhattan 4-year-old, Santa Claus came in the
form of the 34 men from Smith Scholarship House.

Two weeks before Christmas, three Smith members took
more than $100 in donations to the closest thing they had to
Santa's workshop — Wal-Mart. They carried a list, designat-
ing the boy's most-sought present, a bike, along with several
other items for the family they were paired with through
Flint Hills Breadbasket.

"There were a couple of different bikes, but this one was
the coolest," said C.W. Popp, vice president and sophomore
in mechanical engineering. "We looked at them and thought,
'If I was a little boy, this is what I'd like.' "

The men had already been to Wal-Mart once before to
scope out the bike selection. Initially, they had to ask other
customers for help as they weren't sure what size bike would
be best for the 4-year-old.

Popp even rode down part of an aisle on the BMX Street
Rage bike.

"Don't break his bike before you give it to him," joked
Lucas Dickson, president and senior in industrial engineer-
ing.

Spending more than one hour in the store, the men also
picked out a magazine rack and kitchen towels for the
mother; a sweat suit, flannel shirt and a Hot Wheels Bronco
and BMW for the boy.

"We've got to stick with Hot Wheels," Popp said during
a short debate between buying Hot Wheels or Match Box
cars. "Hot Wheels is where it's at."

Smith members participated in the Flint Hills Breadbas-
ket Adopt a Family Program for the first time in December.

"It's always good to, when you have extra, to give back to
people who aren't so well off," Popp said. "It's good for the
house. For the guys in the house, it showed them that we
should not be about making ourselves better off. As a schol-
arship house, we should be leaders in that. My view of a
leader consists of someone who is willing to serve others."

To fund the gifts, members were asked to individually
contribute whatever money they could, said Adam Stover,
community service chairman and sophomore in interior
architecture.

"Going around and asking for donations, most people
were more than willing to give something to the cause,"
Dickson said . "It was nice that we were able to get some of the
extra things other than the bike."

Bringing the gifts to the family seemed to make Christ-
mas come early, Dickson said.

"It's going to be like a whole other Christmas to see his
face," Dickson said. "Just to know that we were able to help
someone out gives you a warm feeling inside. Being blessed
with so much, it's nice to give back."

The men delivered the gifts to the family on Dec. 17.

Popp said the mother had her son go to his room while
she hid the gifts, which were not to be opened until Christ-
mas. When the boy came back, he began snooping for the
presents.

"It was just nice to see the appreciation on her face and
the warmth that I felt from doing that for her," he said. "It's
always nice to put a face with your service."

Cynthia Shanley, Smith House executive director, said
she knew the family.

"It will mean a tremendous amount to them," she said.
"She's a single mom raising a little boy all by herself and
struggling. It's not easy. She's trying to go to school and
support a family."

Shanley said the men consistently did community ser-
vice projects that benefited children, but adopting a family
ranked among their top three projects.

"They didn't just go into it, 'OK, we're going to do this'
and give it minimal attention," Shanley said. "This has been
a focused project. They've been planning this for a long
time.

"They have a heart for children in this house," she said.

Christa Heilman, Smurthwaite community service chair-
woman and junior in animal science and industry, said in the
project's second year, they made improvements from the
first year.

"This year we got little ghost things everybody wore
because last year we had a lot of people who said, 'Why are
you here? Who are you again?' " Heilman said. "People
thought we were homeless and begging for food. We got an
identification system going, and our house director made
those for us."

About 20 Smurthwaite members went trick or treating in
neighborhoods north of Kimball and west of campus for an
hour to an hour and a half.

Summer Stagaard, junior in elementary education, was a
dead skier. She wore yellow ski pants and painted her face
white. Rain and cold weather prevented members from trick
or treating longer, but it gave them another opportunity,
Stagaard said.

"When you trudge through the rain with somebody, you
just bond," Stagaard said. "My pants were falling down
because they fit wrong, and I was dragging them through the
water.

"We were hovering under three umbrellas," she said. "It
was a way to for us to get to know each other better."

Five to six carloads of members went trick or treating in

different areas of the same neighborhood. Irene
Vanderwerff, sophomore in pre-veterinary medicine, said
her group collected about 70 to 75 cans.

"We only had one lady turn us down because she'd
already donated to the Breadbasket that day," Vanderwerff
said. "We came across one lady who worked for the Bread-
basket, and she gave us a whole bunch of stuff. Our garbage
bags broke a few times, and we had to keep asking people for
more garbage bags."

After members finished trick or treating, they combined
their cans with those collected by Strong Complex residents,
who also went trick or treating for cans.

Heilman said together they collected 614 pounds of food.
Heilman said she didn't think the food would go far, but it
would help.

By trick or treating, members could fulfill one of their
four yearly community service project requirements, but
Vanderwerff said members had fun along the way.

"First of all, we have to do community service for the
house," Vanderwerff said. "Last year, I missed it since I was
on phone duty. I heard it was really fun, and they gave us
candy, too."

Heilman said she wanted to help the community and
liked seeing others help also.

"It amazes me," Heilman said. "There are people out
there who really do care. My hope is to show people that
there is a need out there. I've learned there are people around
here who need help, so there are people everywhere who are
going to need help."

he community

Boyd Hall residents could have slept in on their day off
from school Jan. 18, but they opted to wake up early to make
it a day on.

On Martin Luther King Jr. Day, students, faculty and
community members participated in several service projects
in Manhattan.

"We thought it was a neat idea to encourage students to
volunteer," Dana Catania, Strong Complex residence life
coordinator, said. "Then we thought, 'Gee, if we encourage
them, we should give them activities to do.' "

Volunteers met at Forum Hall in the K-State Student
Union at 9:30 a.m. to start working at 10 a.m. for a two-hour
shift. The two-hour shifts lasted throughout the day.

"There's a central clearinghouse at the Union all day
long," Catania said. "The volunteers show up. They're told
what they will be doing and where they're going."

Three projects were available for volunteers. Partici-
pants' assignments included cleaning animal cages at Sunset
Zoological Park, working at a retirement home or participat-
ing in a painting project.

"They're serving at a retirement community in town,"
Catania said. "They'll be doing crafts, making Valentine's
Day cards, playing Bingo and making cards for the people
that live there to send out to their families."

The painting project was organized through the Home
Project, an organization that sent volunteers to homes to do
minor repairs, painting, or other maintenance-related tasks.
Usually, the homeowners were unable to perform the up-
keep on their own, Catania said.

Rebekka Martin, freshman in animal science, said she
decided to participate in the community service project
when she learned about the opportunity at a Hall Governing
Board meeting.

"I think for me personally — and I think a lot of people in
HGB are the same way — we were pretty involved before,
and this is where we are now, so we want to be able to help
out," Martin said. "We think it's a day off from school, so it's
a real good opportunity to take time to do something."

At her school in Herndon, Kan., Martin said Martin
Luther King Jr. Day wasn't a big deal, so this was her first
year to participate in projects for the Martin Luther King Jr.
observance. Martin said she would continue doing commu-
nity service projects in Manhattan.

"I'll participate for the community-service aspect," she
said. "I'd like to meet new people, maybe get to know a little
more about the city of Manhattan — more than just right here
at K-State and see what there is that needs attention."

Megan Richeson, freshman in journalism and mass com-
munications, said she didn't know how many Boyd
residents would participate but thought volunteering was a
worthwhile activity for her.

"It's a good thing to do, and it's a way to get involved
with a group and do something," Richeson said. "I want to
help the community a little — basically just to feel better
about doing things."

The minimal time commitment also persuaded her.

"It's only two hours out of the day," Richeson said. "I
think it would be easy to do it for the next three years."

residents discuss sexual questions when

Seventh-floor Ford Hall residents had sex in the dark Oct. 8.

Alicia Huebner, seventh-floor resident assistant and jun-
ior in mass communications, planned Sex in the Dark for her
residents and Haymaker Hall's seventh-floor residents. The
program was intended to heighten awareness about rela-
tionships between men and women.

Participants wrote questions about sex, relationships or
anything they wanted to know about the opposite sex for
Huebner and Kurt Thompson, Haymaker's seventh-floor
RA and junior in architecture. The RAs sat on a mattress and
read the questions aloud in the dark so residents wouldn't
feel intimidated to give answers, Huebner said.

"I want to inform people," she said. "It's called Sex in the
Dark, but I want people to come away with more than that —
maybe just a better understanding of what guys and girls are
like."

Questions ranged from kissing on the first date to more
intimate questions concerning sex.

"I think it will offer them something more than just the
vulgar jokes about stuff like that," Huebner said. "I think that
sex or relationships are really special. I think it isn't some-
thing that should be given away freely. I think it's something
that's sacred and holy, and I think there's also a time and a
place to talk about it."

The RAs shined a flashlight on those who made vulgar or
inappropriate remarks, but Tracey Boucher, freshman in
business administration, said the dark made people less
inhibited so residents exaggerated their answers.

"I think it would have been better if you could see who

was talking. Then I think people would be more honest,"
Huebner said. "I would never have imagined asking some of
those questions. I think I learned more about people's morals
than anything else."

Bethany Martorana, freshman in hotel and restaurant
management, said the program benefited those who took it
seriously.

"I liked how one girl said that guys should call in the next
two days because that's something you want them to know
so a girl knows to wait around or just move on," she said. "I
think a lot of those questions were on a lot of people's
minds."

With residents from Marlatt and Moore halls also partici-
pating, about 100 people filled Ford's seventh-floor lobby.
Huebner said while she would not have another opportunity
to have the program, improvements could be made.

"I'd like to see it done on a smaller scale with maybe 10 to
15 people because I think in a bigger setting people are more
intimidated," she said. "I think turning off the lights helped
a lot."

Some of the women's questions were explicit and unex-
pected, catching the men off guard, Martorana said.

"I figured the guys would be surprised," she said. "I
mean we'd been anticipating this for the past three nights
and saying, 'Let's ask them this,' and I don't think they
expected us to ask a lot of those questions."

Overall, Huebner said she was pleased with the event.

"I think both the girls and the guys benefited a lot," she
said. "I think it was a time to vent or just to be heard."

goodnow residents donate change

for big bird, good cause

Loose change added up to a residence assistant in a bird
costume and a donation to a good cause.

Goodnow Hall sponsored its first penny war Oct. 5-9.
Each floor had a bucket with the RAs' pictures on it. When
residents put change in the buckets, positive points were
added to the floor's score, and paper money subtracted
points. The residence life coordinator and assistant residence
life coordinator also had a bucket together.

I As an incentive for residents to

w- donate money, the RAs agreed to

wear costumes for a day if their
floors won. Linda Kolkowski,
fifth-floor RA, donned a bird suit
when her residents accumulated
| ^S^ tne most change.

» V^** 'I na<^ promised my floor that

Soft if they raised a certain amount of
t «#4 ! money that I would wear it to my

classes," Kolkowski, junior in
chemical engineering, said. "I
took pictures of my professors to
prove I went to class."

Kolkowski said she received
some strange responses to her ap-
pearance.

"One of my professors didn't
even realize I was in the class in the
outfit until he was ready to start
lecture," she said. "He started
talking. Then he looked up and saw me. He just started
laughing."

The threat of having to wear a costume also increased
participation from the RAs. Kalkowski said residence life
coordinator Mike Mesner and assistant residence life coordi-
nator Anita Teague "ganged up" on her at the end of the
competition.

chemical engineering, puts on
her bird suit. The costume was
purchased from Marie's Cos-
tume with money from the
hall's programming funds and
coordinator account. (Photo

"We were losing, and Linda had just put a bunch of
change in our bucket," Teague, graduate student in college
student personnel, said. "So I started putting dollars in ours,
and Mike put tons of change in hers."

The penny war accumulated $167.72, which the hall
donated to the Community Sanctuary. The program, spon-
sored by the First Congregational Church in Manhattan,
provided Saturday morning daycare service for single par-
ents and underprivileged families.

"Single parents are so busy that they can't always go
grocery shopping," Kolkowski said. "One of the little boys
was autistic, so his mother had to be with him 24 hours a day.
It's a program to help them out so they get a break from the
kids."

Kolkowski said the program benefited the children as
well.

"Some of the kids don't have toys at home, so when they
come there it is the only chance some of them get to play with
toys," she said. "We thought they could use the money
because they had puzzles with pieces missing and really old
toys."

Alia Willingham, sixth-floor RA and senior in marketing,
suggested the idea of donating to Community Sanctuary.
She said some of the RAs were familiar with the program and
knew the money was needed.

"Since we had been actively participating with them
before, we knew the need that was there," she said. "They
had some of the same toys as when I was in first grade. We
were projecting to raise between $50 and $100, so we wanted
to donate somewhere where that amount would really make
a difference. We also wanted to keep it community based."

Community service was not the only product of the
contest, Teague said.

"The whole idea was to have fun," she said. "Community
service should be fun for people to do as well as helping out
the community."

pranking roommates gives residents

dose of good clean fun

Two men in Goodnow Hall planned the attack, and what
started as a harmless prank turned into a war.

"It wasn't anything too great, just a little war," said the
Goodnow fourth-floor female resident, who, like other
pranksters, asked that her name not be used for fear of
retaliation from victims. "Some guys on the floor decided to
start it by markering our doorknob with some black marker,
so when we opened the door, we had black marker on our
hands."

The roommates retaliated by toilet papering the men's
door.

"We put three layers of toilet paper across their door,"
one of the women said. "When they woke up in the morning,
all they could see was white."

The war continued when the men duct taped the
women's door shut. The women spent 15 minutes cutting
away the tape before they could enter the room. They got the
last laugh when they smeared Vaseline on both sides of the
men's door, making their attempt to exit, slippery and gross.

"We pulled a couple of pranks, and that was about it,"
one of the men said. "We threatened to get them back after
they Vaselined our door, but we ended up calling a truce."

In Moore Hall, two women tried to teach friends to lock
their doors.

"My friend and I had taken a hat from these boys' room,
just joking around, because they left their door unlocked,"
the seventh-floor Moore resident said. "We were trying to
teach them a lesson."

So the men stole something in return: her room key. They

stole her mattress and took it to the third floor.

"I think it was only down there for a couple of hours. I
didn't even know it was gone. My roommate told me what
happened," she said. "When I was getting back to my room,
the boys were putting it back."

At Smurthwaite, residents formed two sneak groups.
One consisted of returning residents while the other con-
sisted of new residents. The two groups met secretly to
discuss potential pranks and choose their victims.

"The old-member sneak group stole all the shower cur-
tains, Vaselined the toilets and locked the stall doors from the
inside," Marcie Mamura, of the new member sneak group
and freshman in English, said. "They also turned furniture
over and stole the remote control, which is a big deal. They
did a bunch of little exciting things like that."

Mamura listed paybacks and school spirit as motives for
pranks to be pulled and said while some people got carried
away, they weren't meant to be serious.

Just for fun, the first floor was attacked in early fall.
Mamura said toilet paper was strung from the ceiling, and
the pranksters placed masking tape at the head and foot of
each door for residents to walk into when they woke up.

"The first floor has a reputation to be the early go-to-bed
kind of group," she said. "I think they were hit to let them
know others were aware they existed and cared."

Pranks helped Mamura relax and have fun.

"I'm not the master mind behind the pranks," Mamura
said. "Sometimes when I least expect it, it's exactly what I
need to make me laugh."

new position brings diversity to

haymaker hall activities

Paris Rossiter, sophomore in engineering, accepted the
multicultural assistant job for Haymaker Hall in August, and
he said he loved every minute of it.

"I enjoy it a lot. It's a good way for me to meet people,"
Rossiter said. "It focuses efforts, and it's a good way to get
more response when you are trying to put something to-
gether. There is not much to go off since this is the pilot year.
I have to come up with a lot on my own."

The Hall Governing Board and the Kansas State Univer-
sity Association of Residence Halls voted a trial run of the
multicultural assistant job in the residence halls. The MAs
had rounds on each floor and helped residents become
aware of cultural activities on campus.

Derek Jackson, assistant director of residence life, and
Mike Messner, Goodnow Hall residence life coordinator,
presented the idea, which ran as a pilot program in Ford,
Goodnow and Haymaker halls.

"We will definitely be continuing on with those three
halls next year," Messner said. "And we are most likely
going to expand to additional halls."

Rossiter organized programs, including movie nights. In
December, he showed "Skindeep," a movie about college
students from different schools who went on a retreat to
California.

"I'd heard from some people that it was a good movie,"
Rossiter said. "The movie was brutal about the truth. From
issues of the confederate flag to racism, I thought the movie
spoke about several culturally different ways of thinking."

Rossiter said he tried to focus his programming to-
ward issues students discussed with him or that were
present in the hall. Rossiter also spent time counseling
students one on one about issues.

"I didn't get to do as many programs as I wanted to
last semester," Rossiter said. "I was just getting my feet
in the door, and it was over before I knew it."

Randy Allen, Goodnow's MA; Dahomey Abanishe,
Ford's MA; and Rossiter had a diversity program for
resident assistants at summer training. The group gave
RAs advice for handling culturally sensitive issues.

Messner and Jackson developed the idea for the
position from colleges across the nation. Messner said
they used concepts from similar programs at Grand
Valley State University and the University of Georgia.

"This is not a brand-new program. There are a fair
amount of other schools that have similar programs,"
Messner said. "We saw there was a need for students at
K-State to have a connection of what was going on on
campus — someone to be a mentor and a role model."

Those interested in the MA position completed an
application and two interviews. The assistant received
free room and board as payment.

"My RA told me about the position, and he said I'd be
good for the job," Rossiter said. "I read the description,
and it was a lot of the stuff you try to do anyway, but
there is not really much you can do when you are not in
a position of authority."

The Royal Purple staff challenged stu-
dents living in residence halls to prove they
had the messiest, best decorated or most
holiday-festive rooms. Judges toured rooms
entered in the contest and determined the

Messiest Room: The handmade sign
warned of the dangers of entering her room:
"Be careful of broken loft leaning against
door, and don't step on missing hamster."

Ferdoas Afani-Ruzik, junior in political
science, won the Royal Purple yearbook's
Residence Hall Messiest Room Contest.

A broken loft was haphazardly propped
against the closet. Two animal cages sat on a
shelf in Afani-Ruzik's single room in Van
Zile Hall. Sammy, the chinchilla, called one
his home, but the other cage was deserted.

Afani-Ruzik's pregnant hamster, Mama,
had escaped and was missing for days.

"I hope she hasn't decided to nest some-
where and have her babies," she said.

Mama, who ended up losing her litter,
was later found. She had made a home out of
Ramen noodle packages in the cupboard.

Best Decorated Room: when three

women decided to stay in the residence halls
their sophomore year, they decorated to make
their Putnam Hall room feel like home.

Winners of the Best Decorated Room
Contest, Amanda Thurlow, sophomore in
music education; Jessica Mink, sophomore
in music education; and Christy Kuhn, soph-
omore in family life and consumer science,
said they chose Putnam so they could live in

a three-person room together.

The room included a set of bunk beds and
loft. Thurlow also contributed her piano and
pet hamster to the room's contents. The ham-
ster cage sat on top of the piano among
collector Phantom of the Opera Barbie dolls.

"It makes it more comfortable," Mink
said. "It's a lot more like home. Plus, the
arrangement makes the room open."

Most Holiday-Festive Room: For

Moore Hall residents Chris Kreller, fresh-
man in business administration, and Blaine
Younger, freshman in business administra-
tion, adding Christmas cheer to their room
became a competition.

"We stayed up until 2:30 or 3 a.m. two
nights in a row," Kreller said.

Among the decorations, the room includ-
ed a 4-foot Christmas tree, stockings and
green garland with white lights. A wreath
that played "We Wish You a Merry Christ-
mas" hung by the door.

Down the hall, Lorisa Stucke, freshman
in elementary education, had also decorated.

"Of course we are very competitive, so
we thought, we've got to beat that," Kreller
said, "and we bought more."

After a truce, Kreller and Younger won
the Most Holiday-Festive Room Contest.

fifth-floor west residents get help from

1 1— ;

anics

"Let's take a look under the hood," was not just a pick up
line for three men from Marlatt Hall.

The Marlatt residents taught four West Hall residents
tips for vehicle repair and maintenance.

Tina Youssef i, one of West's fifth-floor resident assistants
and senior in biology, said women's floors paired with men's
floors at the beginning of fall semester. She knew the RA in
Marlatt, so they paired together as brother and sister
floors.

"Some of the girls on our floor had expressed interest in
having a program about that," Erika Anderson, West's other
fifth-floor RA and sophomore in social work, said. "So we
called the president, C.J., and he said he could get some guys
together."

The three men, C.J. Wadsworth, freshman in kinesiology;
Charles Clay, sophomore in engineering; and Nathan Ezell,
sophomore in computer engineering, met the women in the
parking lot by West. Seven participants brought their ve-
hicles.

"We basically went through and showed each one of
them what they need to check," Ezell said. "We did that for
each car. That way they knew exactly where on their vehicle
stuff was. If they had any other questions, we tried to answer
those."

Anderson said the men were helpful when they exam-
ined their cars.

"They looked under my hood and showed me, well I
already knew how to check my oil, but how to check different
fluids and things like that," she said.

The men also showed the women problems specific to
their cars, Diana Sjogren, sophomore in business, said.

"They told us a whole bunch of stuff about our cars, how
to change the oil, what kind of stuff we had on them, like
what kind of oil each one would take and the sizes of stuff like
wheels," Sjogren said. "I have T-tops on my Firebird, and
they told me about why it leaked because of the T-tops."

Youssefi said the men were insightful when they gave
advice.

"They gave me some tips on buying wiper blades and
such," Youssefi said. "I got a lot out of it. They were very
knowledgeable."

Besides helping the women with their vehicles, the men
also demonstrated tips on their own cars.

"One guy had a BMW, which is apparently a really rare
kind," Sjogren said. "Another guy had a big-boat car, ancient
car, and it was kind of cool. They were going to show us how
to change a flat and stuff like that, but it was getting really
cold, and it was getting really dark, so we didn't get quite that
far."

While the setting sun kept them from demonstrating
everything they planned, the men said they covered a lot of
information.

"Whenever we were showing them, they got their heads
under the hood and checked the oil if they didn't know how
to. We made sure they knew how to put oil in," Ezell said.
"They really got involved in it and were asking a lot of
questions."

Delta George, freshman in animal science and industry,
said she grew up on a farm around farm machinery. Al-
though she already knew most of the information discussed
by the Marlatt men, she said she enjoyed the program as a
refresher course.

"For the most part, I don't know if anyone else actually
learned anything," she said, "but it was good to review
yourself over it."

George said recalling advice from the session would be
helpful if they had car trouble.

"I thought it was really helpful," George said. "They
showed us around so that if we got stranded we'd have some
kind of clue how to fix it. It gave me a little confidence that if
something did happen, I would have some clue of what to
do."

moore hall awareness program gives

realistic view or aicono

Wobbling while trying to walk in a straight line, Mikaela
Claymore, freshman in business, failed her sobriety test. The
campus police officer informed her she would be arrested for
suspicion of drunken driving.

"I couldn't see anything in front of my face," Claymore
said. "I couldn't see what direction anything was."

The field sobriety test was a segment of 32 Minutes, a
program about the dangers of drinking. Campus police used
goggles to simulate a blood alcohol level of .2 for students to
wear for the role play.

More than 300 participants gathered in the basement of
Moore Hall and toured six different sites during the pro-
gram, sponsored by Moore on Nov. 30 and Dec. 1. While
students waited for their tour to begin, a bar offered nonal-
coholic drinks, a disc jockey played dance music, and stu-
dents played pool.

Students toured a simulated dorm room with drinking
games and binge drinking. Water, apple juice and Kool-Aid
substituted for alcohol, and nonalcoholic gelatin shots were
used.

"I thought it was kind of interesting," Keegan Halterman,
freshman in pre-veterinary medicine, said. "I've never really
done that before. I didn't know how to play them, but I could
see how you can get pretty trashed."

The second room was the mock field sobriety test. Officer
Gary Marshall, the housing officer, picked one student in
each tour group to wear goggles and perform several sobri-
ety tests. The students performed a walk and turn, where
they walked toe to heel for nine steps, turned around and
then repeated. They also stood on one leg while counting to
30 and picked out the largest coin from a selection of a few
coins.

"It was a more real setting," Claymore said. "It wasn't
someone presenting it to you. Maybe it made the others
realize that it is a lot worse than you think it is."

In the bathroom, a person pretended to be unconscious

due to alcohol poisoning. Emergency Medical Service per-
sonnel explained the symptoms of alcohol poisoning and
what emergency measures someone should take to help the
victim.

"It was very realistic," Halterman said. "They set it up so
they made you think."

Another site was outside next to a totaled car from
Manhattan Wrecking. A member of the tour read "Death of
an Innocent," a poem about a girl who didn't drink at a party
but was still killed by a drunken driver. Lisa Abfalter,
freshman in elementary education, stood next to the vehicle
and explained it was involved in an accident involving
alcohol.

"I've had friends die in alcohol-related accidents,"
Abfalter said. "So I thought if I would help one person, it
was worth my time to participate.

In a simulated morgue, Ginger West, junior in elemen-
tary education, told about her 15-year-old friend who died
in a drunken-driving accident.

Clint Randolph, freshman in pre-health professions pro-
gram, played the corpse in the morgue.

"We wanted to try to open peoples' eyes and prove that
people do die from alcohol and drinking and driving,"
Randolph said.

"It's not just a myth," he said. "Just because you read
something in the newspaper, that doesn't necessarily mean
it's going to hit home."

At the last site, counseling was offered by University
Counseling Services.

Hal Taylor, one of the program's coordinators, said the
basic idea for the program came from another school.

"It was done vaguely similar at another school," Taylor,
senior in pre-medicine, said. "We had that idea and built
everything on that basic template.

"It was for awareness," Taylor said. "It wasn't to say
don't drink but to think about the consequences."

regional aids project promotes safe sex with

condoms and I erature

Free condoms at Putnam Hall's front desk served as a
safe-sex reminder fall semester.

Putnam was one of eight residence halls to allow the
Regional AIDS Project to distribute condoms.

"There are people who think that we're promoting sex
before marriage," said Tara Hull, Kansas State University
Association of Residence Halls representative and Putnam
community assistant. "It's all about education. There's a ton
of information there."

Hull, sophomore in pre-law, philosophy and political
science, first learned about the condoms at a KSUARH
meeting early in the semester.

Nick Lander, KSUARH president and sophomore in
statistics, said KSUARH allowed individual hall governing
boards to decide if they wanted the free condoms because
they were a controversial issue. Then Putnam HGB allowed
the community assistants to decide.

The multicolored LifeStyles' condoms filled a fish bowl
on the left corner of Putnam's front desk. While other halls
chose to move the condoms to an indiscrete location,
Putnam's bowl remained visible except for one day.

"We took them down on Halloween," she said, "because
we didn't want some kid stretching their hand in there
thinking they were candy."

Some residents didn't like the condoms' visible location.

"I kind of didn't like the image that it was presenting,"
Stephanie Larson, HGB secretary and senior in psychology
and elementary education, said. "I didn't feel like it was
appropriate. I knew if I came as a visitor, I would feel

uncomfortable about wanting to move in.

HGB received positive and negative comments in its
suggestion box about the condom distribution. But at a
meeting to discuss the issue, Hull said only positive com-
ments came out.

The Regional AIDS Project paired the condoms with
literature about abstinence and AIDS' effects on men and
women.

"People just think it's a great idea that it's educating
people," she said. "Instead of being a problem, it's part of the
solution."

The condom bowl was refilled weekly and empty before
the week was over. At all the halls combined, Eunice Dorst,
executive director of the Regional AIDS Project, estimated
more than 1,000 condoms were handed out.

Hull said condoms were used for more than just safe sex.
She attributed the condom bowl emptying quickly during
finals' week to residents wearing them on their heads for fun.

"There's always people who go by and take 80," Hull
said, "so I don't know if they're just trying to be funny."

Hull and Lander said they wanted to continue to work
with the Regional AIDS Project to keep condoms at the front
desks as long as residents supported it. However, the Re-
gional AIDS Project only had enough money to fund the
condom bowls for one semester, Dorst said.

She said they hoped the semester of literature and
condoms was enough time to educate students to be safe.

"It was very expensive to do this," she said, "and we
don't have money to continue to fund this."

for fifth year, van zile remains

hall

Van Zile Hall claimed its fifth title as Homecoming
winner in the residence hall division.

"It was kind of cool that we won again," Elizabeth Gunn,
sophomore in secondary education, said. "I'm a big tradition
person, and we set a standard to live up to."

During the week of Oct. 1 9-23, Strong Complex, with Van
Zile, Boyd and Putnam halls, won for the fifth-straight year.
"Everyone was so tired so we really didn't celebrate,"
Miranda Hinrikus, sophomore in elementary education,
said. "Everyone had stayed up so late that week working on
the float. When we found out, we just wanted to take a nap."

Despite the exhaustion, the extra effort had a reward, Jeff
Weiss, president and junior in computer science, said.

"We have several people who have lived in the hall for
three or fours years," Weiss said. "To see their reaction was
worth it."

To maintain their winning streak, the hall governing
board and residents made Homecoming a priority.

"We actually prepared fairly early for the idea of the
float," Weiss said. "The actual construction of the float didn't
start until two weeks before. We had won in the four years
previously, and that carries a lot of pride. In order to win
again, we knew we had to start early."

The enthusiasm carried over to the residents, Nick
Tomasich, junior in management information systems, said.

"It seems like Van Zile and Strong Complex really take
pride in the Homecoming float and all the other Homecom-
ing festivities," he said.

The hall also participated in the Spirit Banner competi-

tion, Pant the Chant, Paint it Purple and Crazy Cat Kickoff.

But, out of all the Homecoming activities, the float build-
ing received the most enthusiasm from students, Weiss said.

"We had the greatest amount of participation working on
the float," Weiss said. "Whether it was pomping the float or
riding on it, there was a tremendous amount of participation
from residents with that."

The winning float, Willie the Wildcat fishing for an Iowa
State Cyclone from a purple and white boat, used paper
mache, tissue-paper and chicken wire.

Obtaining supplies to create the float wasn't a problem,
Hinrikus said.

"We had a lot leftover from last year. It didn't cost too
much,"he said. "I know we were way under our limit."

During the two weeks the hall constructed the float,
anyone could pomp, glue or paint, Hinrikus said.

"Random people worked on it throughout the day," she
said. "It was hours and hours we spent out there on the
basketball courts in front of the three residence halls."

The hardest part of the Homecoming preparation wasn't
constructing the float, Weiss said.

"The most difficult thing was coordinating everyone's
schedules for activities," Weiss said. "They had other activi-
ties, and classes especially. It was very difficult to get to-
gether to meet and get things done."

Despite the difficulties involved this year, the goal for
next year would be the same as the last four years, Weiss said.

"I think Strong Complex will be expected to win since we
have so often in the past," he said.

Before the start of her freshman year, she had traveled to
more than eight countries and experienced cultures many
only saw on television.

Wendy Jasper, freshman in family studies and human
development, took her time before permanently committing
to collegiate life and living in a residence hall.

In 1992, Jasper graduated from Burlington High School,
Burlington, Kan., unsure of her future. She attended college
but dropped out shortly after the semester began.

"I didn't really want to pay the money to go school,"
Jasper said, "especially when I didn't know what I wanted to
do."

Jasper worked at a discount store, a tanning salon and a
restaurant. At the end of two years and 8 months, Jasper said
she had her fill of part-time jobs.

"I was sick of going nowhere," Jasper said. "My mom
kept nagging me about what I was going to do with my life."

She visited the Air Force recruiter, but no one was in the
office, so she talked with the Navy recruiter across the hall.
Eventually, she visited each office of the armed forces before
enlisting in the Navy as an Aviation Ordinance Airman.

"I chose the job as airman so I could be in the shortest
amount of time, retire and receive money for school," Jasper
said. "I knew I didn't want to be enlisted for life."

Jasper entered boot camp in the Chicago /Great Lakes
area in January 1995, three weeks before she turned 21.

"I loved boot camp," she said. "I was from a small town,
and it was neat to meet people from all over the world. I
loved all the competition and the overall challenge."

Jasper completed basic training and moved to
Bremerton, Wash., for her station on the USS Nimitz.

"I was excited when I was stationed in Washington,"
Jasper said. "I was also a bit concerned because I would be on
a ship, but everyone assured me that it had been docked
forever, and I wouldn't go to sea."

Despite the reassurances, the Nimitz went to sea.

In March 1996, the Nimitz traveled to the South China Sea
for the conflict between China and Taiwan. Jasper said the
ship was prepared for the conflict but never went to war.

"The conflict wasn't really big, but it was on the news,"
she said. "I was excited. All the training I had received would
be put to use."

In November 1997, Jasper traveled to the Persian Gulf.

"We were there just in case Sadaam Hussein would do
anything bad," she said. "We were prepared but didn't have
to fight."

Jasper spent three years and four months on the ship. She
also traveled to Canada, Italy, Japan, Mexico, Singapore,
Spain, Thailand and the United Arab Emirates.

After being honorably discharged from the Navy, she
returned to college becoming one of the 3,338 K-State fresh-
men in fall 1998. The Navy gave Jasper direction, motivation
and the persistence for academic success, she said.

"The hardest thing for me is studying so many things,"
she said. "I was used to studying one thing and mastering it
so we wouldn't die, but I have learned to motivate myself
and am up to the challenge."

The Navy helped pay for her tuition and her home in
West Hall.

While other freshmen were concerned with lack of space,
Jasper found her nearly 16-feet-by-12-feet room spacious
considering she lived out of a locker on the Nimitz.

At 24, Jasper got involved with other students. She par-
ticipated in intramural volleyball and worked at the
Medicine Shoppe for extra money.

Jasper's experiences in the Navy gave her knowledge,
direction and appreciation for her life as a college student.

"I have come to appreciate the military and what I have
a lot more," Jasper said. "I am living in a dorm room, and you
don't know how much I appreciate that. People around the
world are a lot worse off. I've seen it. I know I could be in a
worse situation."

changes and eliminations made to

homecoming festivities __J

The All-University Homecoming Committee made
changes to the Oct. 19-23 Homecoming schedule, breaking
tradition and evoking controversy.

The committee discontinued Paint It Purple, a commu-
nity service project, from its list of competitions. The event
was canceled after the committee received complaints from
the Riley County United Way, the project's main organizer.

"The event was not being treated as it should have," said
Mary Seltzer, a voting member of the committee and junior
in journalism and mass communications. "The participation
was not there. It seemed everyone had their own agenda and
didn't want to participate in the service project."

The committee removed Paint It Purple after Homecom-
ing chair members from greek houses discussed and voted
10-1 on the issue. Although the event was canceled, some
groups had already completed their service projects.

"It was disappointing that they had to cancel Paint It
Purple because so many people didn't take it seriously," said
Jenni Latzke, junior in agricultural journalism and Sigma
Kappa sorority member. "It would have been nice to have
those points for Homecoming, but really I was just happy
that our house got out there and helped someone in the
community."

Seltzer said Greek Affairs donated $1,000 to the United
Way as an apology. The group put the money toward
projects the greek community would have completed. The
committee planned to revise and improve the project by

giving each pairing more control over the service projects in
the future.

Delta Chi, along with Homecoming partners Alpha
Gamma Rho and Kappa Alpha Theta, voted to keep the Paint
It Purple project.

"I think the timing was all wrong. I didn't think the event
should have been canceled in the middle of Homecoming
week," said Mike Sarow, Delta Chi president and senior in
civil engineering. "The initial response of the guys in the
house was not good."

The body building competition was also reevaluated
after injuries, including a ruptured spleen and broken bones
at practices. The committee required additional spotters.

In a less controversial change, the Homecoming parade
occurred Friday, Oct. 23 rather than Saturday morning.

"We thought it would be an opportunity for more
people," Seltzer said. "More members of the community
would be willing to come out on a Friday afternoon on their
way home from work or even come out of their businesses
along Poyntz Avenue to check out the parade."

Despite changes, Cade Keenan, Interfraternity Council
president and senior in industrial engineering, said parts of
Homecoming still followed tradition, and the week brought
out spirit in Wildcat fans.

"Homecoming is not a perfect week," Keenan said. "Any
changes we made were made based on how Homecoming
went in 1997. The changes were only for the better."

Acacia fraternity members remembered the ancient
Egyptians by playing in the water.

The fraternity, which took its symbols and traditions
from ancient Egypt, celebrated its Night on the Nile party
Sept. 11.

Two weeks before the party, the men went to work.
Filling sandbags with about 30 tons of sand, they built a 24-
foot wide pool at the bottom of the hill in their front yard. The
men ran 100 feet of tarp down the hill to form a giant
waterslide, ending at the pool. Acacia's new members used
the three days of work to become acquainted with each other.

"it was a nice way to get out there and BS with the guys
that you were going to be around," Mike Stofiel, freshman in
environmental design, said. "It was an easy way to sit there
and talk."

The slide represented the Nile River. During the two
weeks before the party, the men used the slide as a way to
cool off and have fun after classes.

The Thursday night before the Night of the Nile party, the
Acacias had a brotherhood night, spending the evening
away from other friends and girlfriends.

"We just get here at the house and finish the last details,"
Jason Archer, president and junior in finance, said. "Every-
body stays here and has a good time, and we all go down the
slide."

The men dressed in Egyptian robes and sandles, and
decorated the house with pyramids and Egyptian writing.
The men escorted their dates to dinner at Lucky BrewGrille
before returning to the house for the party.

The next night, the Acacias sponsored an invitation party
to allow others the opportunity to try the slide. The men
invited a disc jockey and catered the event. They also
charged $5 at the door, donating the proceeds to charitiy.

Ryan Feeley, sophomore in mechanical engineering, said
people often came by and went down the slide.

"We have people jog by the house and go down it," he
said. "The Pikes came up quite a bit."

Archer said they also liked to invite friends over.

"It's purely for fun," he said. "The G Phis came over once.
We just have fun with it, because that's what it's there for."

The magnitude the slide had for attracting people sur-
prised many of the freshmen, Stofiel said.

"I had invited a bunch of my friends from different
classes," he said. "The whole front yard was packed. I'm not
incredibly sociable, but I was out there, and I was having a
great time. It was a blast."

The men dismantled the pool two weeks later and do-
nated the sand to other fraternities, grade schools and Riley
County Hazardous Waste.

"It takes a lot to clean up," Archer said. "The sandbags
have been there for a month, and they're wet and heavy."

The men worked on tearing down the pool for two
weekends, deciding not to tackle the job during weekdays.
When the cleanup was over, all the Acacias could think about
was doing it all over again, Archer said.

"It's supposed to be every other year in the fall semester,"
he said, "but we've been doing it every year because it's so
much fun."

alpha chi omega says goodbye to

'■
0

Alpha Chi Omega said goodbye to a cherished member
and housemother when Edna Rush retired after working for
the sorority for 15 years.

In 1991, members petitioned the National Chapter for
permission to initiate Rush into the sorority. Their request
was approved, and in a ceremony before family and friends,
Rush became a new member.

"I had no idea the girls were even planning this. It was a
big thrill and surprise," Rush said. "I have thoroughly en-
joyed being an Alpha Chi."

Rush began working with the greek system when she
cooked for Pi Beta Phi sorority. She said sorority members
treated each other well, and their housemother was espe-
cially welcoming and cordial to her. She decided when she
did not need to take care of her family, she wanted to be a
housemother.

After cooking for the Pi Phi's, she owned and managed
the Wareham Coffee Shop in Manhattan. While she owned
the restaurant, she learned of an opening at Alpha Chi for a
temporary housemother. She interviewed on a Saturday,
and they called her back the following Monday offering her
the job.

She closed her business on Dec. 31, 1983 to become the
Alpha Chi housemother.

"She's been here so much longer than any of us. She
knows everything," said Lindsay Roy, president and senior
in journalism and mass communications. "She knows when
to step in and when to step out. She always knows how to
handle things."

The girls planned to shower Rush with gifts and cards of
appreciation before she left. To let her know how thankful
they were for her commitment, they planned to invite
alumni from Rush's years as housemother to share in the
festivities.

"I'll miss Mom, and I've only been here for two years. She
has created a legacy," Bre Miller, sophomore in elementary
education, said. "It's so neat to be able to hear about what the
house was like in the early '80s."

Rush made a tradition of crocheting afghans and quilts
for chapter members who got engaged. She also gave special
graduation gifts to women with whom she became espe-
cially close.

"Mom is so caring. Lots of girls went to her with their
problems," Roy said. "She went above and beyond the
normal duties and did so much more."

Rush not only acknowledged the bond with the girls in
the house but the ties built between all the K-State house-
mothers.

"I've made so many friends through Alpha Chi," Rush
said. "The moms and I love to go out together. We will
always stay in touch. We have so much fun together."

In her retirement, Rush planned on volunteering at a
senior center. She wanted to help bring fun into the lives of
the elderly.

"I'll miss all the girls. There's no doubt about that. I love
spending time with young people. They're so entertaining
and sweet," Rush said. "Being a housemother has kept my
ideas young. It's probably kept me young, too."

honoring academics among members,

6 ifv.

Alpha Delta Pi members got more than just a pat on the
back in recognition of their academic achievements.

ADPi started an academic honorary to recognize initi-
ated chapter members for their academic success. Members
with a 3. 14 grade point average or better received certificates,
and members with a 3.5 GPA or better received pearls to
wear on their pledge pins.

"We've always had a scholarship dinner," said Amy Sell,
scholarship chair and senior in horticulture therapy. "I
wanted something a little more special."

The ceremony took place Oct. 15 at the house. Initiated
members, as well as advisers, attended a dinner and recep-
tion.

While it was the first year for the honorary, getting good
grades was nothing new for the sorority. For the second year
in a row, ADPi ranked second among the university's sorori-
ties in chapter GPAs.

"We do well," Sell said. "I wanted a way to recognize
everyone's efforts."

The national organization of ADPi started the honorary
in 1979. Sell said she started it within the K-State chapter to
emphasize the importance of getting good grades.

"A lot of times we get wrapped up in homecoming, date
parties and everything," she said. "These are all very impor-
tant, but sometimes we lose focus of why we are here."

Tiffany Grams, sophomore in bakery science who helped
coordinate the reception, received a pearl at the ceremony.

"It's always nice to be recognized. It's nice to be noticed,"
Grams said. "Every time you put on your pin, people notice.
It kind of motivates you to work hard."

All new members received certificates in recognition of
their academic efforts.

Jessica Beal, freshman in dietetics, also helped with the
reception. She said ADPi encouraged academic excellence
among its members in other ways as well.

"We have a lot of study hours," Beal said. "We moan and
complain about them, but they gave me the motivation to get
my act together."

She said the honorary encouraged her to keep her grades
up.

"When you get recognized, you want to keep up that
recognition," Beal said. "You don't want to fall below be-
cause you know how far you can go, and this is just a visual
reminder."

for 60 years, date party has chapter

keeping tra

Alpha Gamma Rho members carried on tradition by
growing beards.

In preparation for their 60th annual Rouletter date party,
members grew facial hair.

Rouletter, a western-style party, took place Oct. 9 in Alta
Vista, Kan., and gave AGRs a chance to celebrate a chapter
tradition.

"It's a tradition to get down to the rugged with boots and
everything," Jason Grady, president and senior in pre-vet-
erinary medicine, said. "Some of the guys, those who can,
grow out their beards."

For most AGRs, dressing in western wear required little
change from their normal attire since most members hailed
from agricultural areas, Grady said.

No other AGR chapter had a traditional date party.

"It's a time when all the guys relax and celebrate the
common bond of agriculture," Grady said. "It's what sepa-
rates us from other houses."

The Rouletter tradition started with the annual publish-
ing of a poem of memories. The poem, written by in-house
seniors, compiled things of importance to the men, Grady
said. The poem basically remained the same over the years
and appeared in the Collegian the Friday before the party, he
said.

Although only seniors participated in some AGR activi-
ties, the party promoted brotherhood among new and old
members, Jesse McCurry, junior in agricultural journalism,
said.

"We pump it up to our new members," McCurry said. "It
happens at a time when we're all ready to kick back."

AGRs traveled 30 miles on a rented school bus to a
country farm for the party.

Along the way, the members sang original songs and
chants about each other. The AGRs wrote the songs geared
at creating humor and promoting togetherness, McCurry
said.

Although the party promoted brotherhood, the women
present did not feel left out, Wendee Burch, sophomore in
agricultural economics, said.

"The songs were easy to catch onto," Burch said. "They
reminded me of camp songs."

Singing on a bus, or even riding one for that matter, had
not always been a part of Rouletter tradition. In the mid-
1970s, Rouletter, although still a western-style date party,
took place in the basement of the fraternity house, Tom Dill,
AGR alumnus, said. Dill said the members played card
games, as well as danced.

Dancing remained a part of Rouletter, but members no
longer played card games, Grady said.

After arriving at the barn for the party, members engaged
in another Rouletter tradition. New members participated in
a skit, in which they made fun of their big brothers —
upperclassmen who were paired with new members at
pledging.

"Overall it stays the same," said McCurry, "But each one
has memories."

ato members carry on their chapter's

dm ■ | ■ - ■ \

-winning trad ;

The Alpha Tau Omega fraternity members thought they
had the best chapter in the nation, and on Aug. 15, they
received the trophy to prove it.

Twenty-three chapter members traveled to Orlando for
the fraternity's 73rd Congress, where they became the first-
time winners of the Top Chapter Award. Chapter adviser
Bill Muir said the award, which honored the top chapter out
of 154 in the nation, was created to distinguish excellence.

"That's starting to be a trend in most places that they
want to recognize the best," he said. "It's a good idea to
recognize who is No. 1 in your organization. Our chapter
was not first in everything, but it was so high in all areas that
it was ahead in the judging."

Gabe Graham, 1998 president, accepted the award from
the national president. Rob Bensman, president and junior in
finance, said the award rewarded the members' hard work.

In order to become a candidate for the Top Chapter
Award, a chapter had to first receive the True Merit Award,
which recognized excellence in chapter programming,
scholarship, leadership, service and achievement. The na-
tional board and its officers judged the chapters using their
annual reports for reference.

John Gooch, 1998 vice president and senior in civil engi-
neering, said although members had individual pursuits,
the awards reflected the entire house.

"We have a very strong brotherhood here," he said.
"Everybody is diverse, but we all pull together for the little
stuff, and that makes us a complete chapter."

Although it was the 19th time the chapter had won the

True Merit Award in 30 years, Muir said the Top Chapter
Award was a surprise.

"Everybody was absolutely ecstatic," he said. "They had
a good idea they were in the running, but nobody knew for
sure, not even me. We got a 20-inch trophy that is beautiful. "

The national board also recognized the chapter's excel-
lence in communications with the Anderson Gold Award.
Bensman said the chapter's alumni publication, Vintage,
was the influencing factor behind the award.

"It's head and shoulders above everyone else's," he said.
"It's full color and on glossy paper. It's like a real magazine."

Along with chapter awards, individuals also received
honors. Bensman, who was the National At-Large Recipient
of the ATO Foundation Undergraduate Scholarship of
$2,000, said the chapter's tradition pushed members to excel.

"When you get elected to an office here, you can't even
think about putting in 50 percent because you know the guy
before you put in 100 percent," he said. "It's kind of like a
contagious effort in the house."

Gooch agreed the chapter's history fostered success.

"It is kind of a precedent," he said. "It's a lot to live up to.
Everyone wants to be the best on campus and in the nation,
so we keep getting better."

The trophies and plaques were nice but not the most
important things to the members, Bensman said.

"Brotherhood was something I thought was just a cliche
before I got here," he said. "But it's those kinds of intangible
things that are important around here. It's about having
pride and honor."

oss of loved one inspires alpha xi to

I D

become a wish granter

Losing her brother a week before she went to college
influenced her decision to become a Make-a-Wish Founda-
tion wish granter.

"Bad things that have happened to me have made me
believe that they happen for a reason," Sara Kountz, Alpha
Xi Delta member and sophomore in pre-health professions
program, said. "I truly believe the reason they happen is for
a good thing to come out of it. I'm supposed to use my
experiences to help other people."

Kountz became a wish granter for the non-profit organi-
zation after the Alpha Epsilon Delta pre-medicine honorary
club offered the opportunity to its members.

"It interested me," Kountz said. "My brother was older.
He couldn't have done this because it's only for up to 18-
year-olds, just with cancer patients or with children or
people with illnesses that will make them not be able to reach
their 18th birthday. I got experienced and interested in it."

Charlie Matteson, senior in microbiology and AED trea-
surer, opened the door for Kountz to be a wish granter when
he spoke at a meeting about how Make-a-Wish began.

"There was a little boy who was terminally ill," Matteson
said. "He had a dream of being a police officer, but he wasn't
going to live that long. So the policemen got together, and
they made him an honorary policeman for a day.

"Some of the police officers liked it so much, and it gave
them so much satisfaction that they founded the Make-a-
Wish Foundation," he said. "The purpose of the organiza-
tion is to grant wishes for children who are terminally ill."

Matteson said if a child or family member contacted the

Kansas office in Wichita, they would be assigned a wish
granter.

"The wish granters will go out and meet the child and the
parents, and get an idea of what they might want to do,"
Matteson said. "Then, as a wish granter, it's your job to make
the wish come true."

Matteson said on a wish granter's first wish, they would
be paired with someone who's experienced granting wishes.
Kountz said she had yet to grant a wish.

"There's probably not enough wish children, which is a
good thing, for everybody to do a wish," Matteson said. "It's
kind of random. When I first became a wish granter, there
were four. Then we really haven't had any since then, like
over a year. But that could change."

Kountz planned to get Alpha Xis involved in fulfilling a
child's wish through her philanthropy chairmanship.

"I want to do a wish and be able to do the celebration at
the Alpha Xi house and get everybody involved and have
donations through us and stuff like that," Kountz said. "I
want to make a big old fanfare."

Alpha Xi women looked forward to the opportunity for
Kountz to grant a wish. At chapter meetings, she kept them
informed on what she had done, Katie Teply, president and
junior in journalism and mass communications, said.

"I think she's a great representative of our house," Teply
said. "And the fact that she has personal ties really helps. She
can give us feelings from both sides. She's been on the side
of a terminal illness of a close family member, and now she's
trying to alleviate that pain for others."

beta sigs put increased interest in

ttle sister involvement

In an effort to recruit new Little Sisters, Beta Sigma Psi
fraternity members strapped eggs to their heads with
pantyhose.

In a modified game of chicken for the Messy Olympics,
potential Little Sisters sat on Beta Sig members' shoulders
and used rolled newspapers to break the eggs on other
players' heads.

"They were really messy this year," Timothy Deines,
president and sophomore in pre-veterinary medicine, said.
"Usually we have them on our basketball court, but it was
raining that day. So they were moved into the dining room.

"The messiest is the oatmeal relay. You have a bowl of
oatmeal at one end and another bowl at the other end.
Whoever fills their bowl first wins, but it usually ends in an
oatmeal fight," he said. "We spent a long time cleaning up
the dining room."

Girls interested in participating in Little Sisters signed up
at the Activities Carnival Aug. 30. About 25 girls signed up
compared to 12 in 1997, Tiffany VanAusdale, Little Sister
president, said.

VanAusdale, sophomore in elementary education, said
the number improved due to increased interest in maintain-
ing the organization.

"I think the guys are a lot more involved this year/'
VanAusdale said. "The girls involved last year came back
and wanted to see more girls involved."

Aaron Ricker, Little Sister president for the Beta Sigs and
sophomore in business, said fraternity members became
more active in recruiting Little Sisters.

"Early in the fall, we're more active," he said. "We get out
there, and we're more visible."

Deines attributed the increase in members to Beta Sigs
and Little Sisters putting more time and effort into the
organization.

"A big part is our older Little Sises put in a lot of hard
work," Deines said. "A lot of older Little Sises are in sorori-
ties, and they recruit there."

Each Little Sister began as an associate Little Sister with
a Big Brother in the fraternity. Each pair had to spend time
together at the house, either studying or hanging out. Once
that requirement was met, the associate Little Sister became
an active Little Sister.

"As a big brother, we need to keep the Little Sister
involved," Deines said. "When it's their birthday, you get
them a card. If they need help in school, you help them out
and vice versa."

Associate Little Sisters became active at the fraternity's
Valentine's Day formal.

The Little Sisters were also invited to the house for a
holiday celebration.

"We put on a Christmas formal," Deines said. "We invite
them over, buy them presents, and they usually stuff stock-
ings for us."

The Beta Sigs were one of only two fraternities that had
Little Sisters, making for a unique relationship.

"It's just a good way for girls to associate with the guys
in the house," Ricker said. "It is the same way for the guys to
get to know people outside of the house."

hazing and risk management violation in 1996, Betas worked
on their internal makeup by increasing involvement, adding
offices and changing their new member education system.

"It's been an ongoing process," Rich Wilson, 1998 presi-
dent and senior in landscape architecture, said. "Things have
been changing little by little."

Because of the changes, the Betas received several awards
at their national convention Aug. 6, including the second
highest award given to a chapter. The Sisson Award re-
quired the fraternity to participate in a community service
project and to maintain a grade point average higher than the
campus fraternity average for the year.

"Going dry and our house renovations have kind of
changed the way the house is," Wilson said. "We've done a
lot, and this was kind of the capstone."

The Betas also received the Campus Involvement
Award, which required each fraternity member to be in-
volved in at least one campus activity. As the first campus
involvement coordinator, Ben Hemmen, sophomore in busi-
ness administration, looked for involvement opportunities
that matched members' personalities and talents.

"It promotes getting involved, and we all need to get
involved," Hemmen said. "But it also promotes brother-
hood. If I can approach a guy and say, 'Hey, you'd be good
at this position,' it gives them the confidence that they might
not otherwise have had."

Hemmen said finding activities provided members with
opportunities they may not have found on their own.

"It was created because the fraternity wanted to recog-
nize students," Hemmen said. "There were some guys who
were shy, especially freshmen, and they didn't know how to
get involved."

Although the probation officially expired in the fall,
Greek Affairs needed to review the case before the probation
could be lifted, Barb Robel, Greek Affairs adviser, said.

After going dry, Betas changed their new member educa-
tion system, requiring new members to have a minimum
GPA of 2.5 and be involved in campus and the fraternity.

"They need to do things that are important to the house,"
Wilson said. "All of these things are things we like them to
keep doing as initiated members of the house."

The system changed attitudes of both new members and
active members, Wilson said.

"It's become more of an attitude of the house becoming a
stepping stone to the rest of your life," Wilson said.

Wilson said grades also became a bigger emphasis.

"We stress the importance of keeping up with studies,"
he said. "Whatever aspect they're involved with, they need
to do their best."

The fraternity worked to change its image and the stereo-
type of fraternities, Hemmen said.

"You hear all the bad things about fraternities and sorori-
ties. There's so many good things about them that don't get
exposed," Hemmen said. "I guess this shows that you can
take something bad and make it good."

to improve organization of house

chi os add new o

Chi Omega sorority developed the Cardinal Cabinet to
be more organized and to get members to step up to the
challenge of leadership.

Cassie Wingert, secretary and senior in journalism and
mass communications, said their national headquarters
formed the cabinet to create more leadership opportunities
in chapters. The cabinet also lessened responsibilities and
stress of existing house committees and got all members
more involved.

"We really did not have a choice. They told us what we
had to do, and we did it," Wingert said. "I think it has really
helped out with getting girls involved in the house. Girls
who would not usually volunteer to do things are stepping
up. There are a lot more leaders in the house."

The cabinet was on a trial run in the 1998 spring semester,
and the Chi Os officially installed the cabinet in the fall.

"There was a huge difference this year," Kylie Montague,
community service director and junior in industrial engi-
neering, said. "We used to have sub committees. Basically,
the committee heads did all the work. Now with the cabinet,
we have actual meetings twice a month, and so that way it's
a lot more delegation, and the house does things instead of
individuals."

The cabinet consisted of five committees: career and
personal development, community service, personnel and
sisterhood, social /friendship, and scholarship. Each com-
mittee had a director in charge of delegating and organizing
projects and events.

"My roommate had a lot to do with getting me involved
with the cabinet," said Shauna Davis, career and personal
development director and junior in journalism and mass
communications. "My roommate happened to be my pledge
mom. I was persuaded into applying for a position, but I am
glad I did it."

Members of the sorority who wanted to be involved with
the cabinet completed an application by ranking committee
preferences. The house executive board then reviewed the
applications and chose five directors and 10-20 members to
work for each committee. The cabinet received new leaders
each semester.

"There were a lot of applications for the cabinet," Kelsey
Dodson, president and senior in elementary education, said.
"It was hard picking people for each committee because five

girls would put down the same thing for their first choice.
Coming down to that was tough. Everyone wanted to be so
involved, and knowing someone would walk away without
a position made it harder."

As a part of her job description as career and personal
development director, Davis gave members tips on resume
building. She also recognized members at chapter meetings
each week for success in careers and life beyond college.

"I recognized people from our house with little gifts. If
someone got a job, an interview or an internship or got
accepted into other schools, they would be recognized,"
Davis said. "My job also went with recognizing people
outside college life, like those who got engaged."

Members completed two service projects each semester
for the community service part of the cabinet. Montague
organized eight projects for members. Projects ranged from
helping children after school at the Ogden Friendship House
to working during Thanksgiving at the Flint Hills Breadbas-
ket. The group also adopted the five campus parking lots as
a part of Parking Services Adopt- A-Lot program.

"I would stand up in general meeting and say, 'These are
the projects we have right now,' and let them sign up,"
Montague said. "I would check girls off each time they
worked and after two, they were done. They had a choice of
which project to do, but they had to complete it on the
assigned day. It was challenging to get enough community
service projects for all 150 girls."

Montague said the cabinet helped to better organize
event planning and delegate jobs.

"We have had a lot of events going on. We helped
organize Pledge Games and Dad's weekend in November,"
she said. "These events took a lot of work, and because of the
cabinet, the jobs were delegated, and the planning process
was more organized and less stressful than in past years."

Each committee helped members get involved with dif-
ferent areas in the house and develop leadership skills.

"I like the position. It is a job where you have to be
organized because you are taking on a big role with the
house," Davis said. "It may happen that you have people on
your committee working for you who are actually older than
you. It is a job where you have to take a role and not be
intimidated by others. You have to step in and do the best
you can."

after house renovations are completed,

delta chis mo

After seven homeless years, Delta Chi members found a
place of their own at 508 Sunset.

Members had searched for a house since their chapter
was resurrected in 1992. Since then, they had lived in the
Tatarrax and Royal Tower apartment complexes, but during
the summer, members began moving into their new home,
the former Phi Delta Theta fraternity house.

"We had to make the place livable," said Les Kuhlman,
sophomore in agronomy and new member during the tran-
sition into group living. "We did most of the improvements
ourselves, using contractors only to fix formal parts of the
house."

Kuhlman said he was happy to be in the house, and it was
beneficial to the members.

"I love it," he said. "A house makes us so much stronger.
We can live together now instead of being all over the place.
It has really strengthened our house and given us some
insight into what brotherhood is all about."

Kuhlman said to make the new arrangement work, it was
imperative to recruit large numbers to fill the house to
capacity.

"We have no base of money from alumni," Kuhlman
said. "Our minimum is 54. If we don't fill the house, we lose
money."

Tony McClain, rush chairman and senior in political
science, helped bring in a new class of 22. Sixteen of the new
members lived in the house, bringing in-house membership
to 54.

Delta Chi's success in rushing prospective men came
from being and selling who they truthfully were, McClain
said.

"A lot of times you can tell when someone is putting on
a front," McClain said. "Our guys know we are not that way
because we become friends with them before considering
them a rushee.

"As rush chairman, I got to show them the house, but it

was under construction all summer," he said, "so they never
saw how it was actually going to look until they came up for
school."

McClain said having a house would make recruiting
easier.

"It will help out rush tremendously," he said. "Before, we
had to work much harder to sell our brotherhood and where
we were going in the future. We have been successful, but it
was always hard to sell something you can only experience
by already being a part of it."

As in previous years, members also used their involve-
ment on campus as an opportunity to promote their brother-
hood to prospective members, Gayle Spencer, housemother,
said.

"We live together. We work together. We have offices
together," Spencer, also coordinator at the Office of Student
Activities and Services, said.

Living together was a plus for the house, although the
men had to adjust to the change.

"A bunch of people wouldn't move in when these guys
did," Spencer said, referring to the new members moving in
as soon as the house opened. "There's been growing pains
along the way, but we got the new members accommodated
pretty well."

Barb Robel, Greek Affairs adviser, said she was optimis-
tic the fraternity would succeed.

"They've moved in, and they're on the upswing," she
said. "They have a strong new class, and I don't see anything
wrong with what they've got going."

McClain said he was positive Delta Chi would continue
to grow.

"The sky's the limit," McClain said. "With the quality of
men we have now, and with an ever improving physical
structure to take pride in, Delta Chi has established itself and
looks forward to growing more and more in the coming
years."

sorority plans installment of inaugura

elt alumnae chapter

Delta Delta Delta wanted to increase alumnae support.

Andrea Bryant, fall collegiate alumnae relations officer
and junior in architecture, said the alumnae had been in the
background for the past couple of years.

"We've had an alumnae chapter that's been kind of
inactive," she said. "Our goal has been to get it back on its
feet."

Bryant said the sorority aimed toward more personal
involvement between alumnae and sorority members.

"The alumnae haven't been very involved," she said. "It
is still registered as a chapter alumnae, and we are just trying
to help bring it together so it can be more involved with our
house."

Renee Baker, chapter adviser, said the house needed
more alumnae support.

"We really want to see the alumnae reformed and ac-
tively supporting the house," she said. "We plan to get the
girls and alumnae together during social events to set that in
motion."

Katie Marshall, collegiate alumnae relations officer and
junior in education, said they tried to implement unique

ways to boost relations between the house and alumnae.

"We paired up collegiate members and alumnae mem-
bers in a buddy system," she said. "That way, if house
members need someone to talk to, they have an older person
to relate to."

Alumnae support was needed for financial improve-
ments, Marshall said.

"If we have a special project, like a house add-on or we
don't have the funding to do a special event, they can really
help us out," she said.

Tri-Delts planned to give back to alumnae, Marshall said.

"We look at it as a two-way street," she said. "If the
alumnae would ever need any help doing something or just
need some support from the women in the house, we plan to
be there."

Building alumnae support was a task to be looked at
objectively, Marshall said.

"I am very optimistic about this project," she said. "Even
though alumnae support is in a bad state now, I believe that
we can have a lot of fun with doing this and increase our
much-needed support."

entertaining fans and showing off,

student enjoys attention )

He stood 9 feet, 7 inches tall but only at work.

Aaron Defenbaugh, Delta Sigma Phi member and senior
in landscape architecture, walked on stilts as a member of Big
Cats, who entertained tailgaters before home football games.

"We are tailgating mascots," Defenbaugh said. "We're
free to make fun of people, and they give us their tailgating
food. It's a good time."

The athletic department introduced the Big Cats for the
1998 football season. Steve Kirkland, cheerleading sponsor,
said the department had hired a stilt walker in 1997.

"This year we decided to change it over," Kirkland said.
"We made it a student program."

In order to become Big Cats, students attended the first
cheerleading practice to try out. After being selected, mem-
bers practiced every morning with the cheerleading squad.

The stilts, made of aluminum, ranged from three to four
feet in height. Defenbaugh said once he adjusted to walking
with them, using stilts became simple.

"We just walked around and fell down a lot at first,"
Defenbaugh said. "We got used to them."

Eight students worked as Big Cats throughout the foot-
ball season with six walking the parking lot at one time.

The Big Cats walked through the Bramlage Coliseum
parking lot for about two hours before kickoffs. In exchange,
the athletic department gave them passes to home games.

"\ was told we got free tickets," Defenbaugh said. "That
was cool, because you never know if you're going to get
football tickets or not."

The job gave Defenbaugh celebrity status, he said.

"It's all clean fun," he said. "The kids want autographs,
and everyone wants their pictures taken with the tall guys."

Other Delta Sig members said the job fit Defenbaugh.

"When I first found out he was doing this, I thought it
sounded like something right up his alley," said Kyle
Corman, junior in general management who lived with him
for three years. "He's the first to do something different."

Although the department restricted language Big Cats
used to prevent them from offending fans, it allowed them to
say and do almost whatever they wanted, Defenbaugh said.

"I like mingling with the crowd," he said. "It's like you're
an actor on the stage, and everyone pays attention to you."

However, Corman, who attended all the home games,
said it didn't seem as though Defenbaugh acted.

"He acted the way he does most of the time," Corman
said. "Aaron's got a really strong personality, and this lets
him show it even more."

While the Big Cats traveled with the cheerleaders, they
remained separate groups. Defenbaugh discussed a time
before the Baylor game when differences became apparent.

"We were eating breakfast right before the game," he
said. "There were three Big Cats and Willie (the Wildcat). All
four of us were sitting at one table and the cheerleaders were
all at another, being peppy and happy like cheerleaders are.

"Willie says, 'Look at them, sitting there, being happy,' "
Defenbaugh said. " 'That's what they're here for, to get the
crowd happy and pumped up. We're here because we're
goofy.' I guess what Willie said just summed it all up. It's just
a lot of fun."

with a donated truck and some paint,

delt-mobile comes to life

Looking like a life-size Hot Wheels toy, Delta Tau Delta's
purple "Delt-mobile" was at every tailgate party and at KU
Oct. 31.

"We did it just so we'd have something to go tailgating
with and stuff like that, so everyone would know where
we're at." Chris Higgins, senior in fine arts and owner of the
1980 Ford Bronco, said.

Higgins said before the Delt-mobile, they didn't have a
special vehicle to take to football games.

"It makes the environment better because people are
always saying something about it," Higgins said. "It causes
more of a scene."

The Bronco had been with Higgin's family since 1981, he
said. Higgins said he drove it between Manhattan and
Wichita until he didn't think it could make another trip. Then
his parents OK'd giving the truck to his fraternity.

"We just decided this year to do it because I believe it's
been done in the past," Zac Maze, junior in accounting, said.
"Chris decided he'd be the one who was going to sacrifice his
Bronco."

Higgins said men in the fraternity spent about four days
before the first game decorating the truck with purple paint,
silver flames and a Powercat logo.

Brian Guild, junior in graphic design, helped paint the
Bronco.

"I'd been airbrushing it. We actually took latex enamel
house paint and ran it through my compressor I had that I
used to airbrush," Guild said. "We put the Delt letters on the
back on the tailgate, and we did those in a gold chrome. We

taped off the letters and sprayed it yellow and sprayed a little
bit of black and brown there to make it look gold."

Maze said the enhancements were fairly inexpensive to
do.

"Everyone pitched in some money for him for paint,"
Maze said. "It looked pretty good, I thought, so we'd always
take it tailgating."

The Delt-mobile made it to every home football game,
and despite its age, it even made the trip to Lawrence Oct. 3 1 .

"I work at 12th Street, and I got off at 2, and we just
decided to take off," Higgins said. "There were tons of other
people from our house who went, also. So we could get a ride
with someone, if we needed that."

Higgins said the Delt-mobile's trip to Lawrence didn't
cause an uproar from KU fans.

"We really didn't get that much of a response there," he
said. "When we drove by we'd get stares and stuff like, 'What
the hell is that?' but that's about it."

Members loved it, Maze said.

"It showed a lot of purple pride," he said. "Everybody
always likes seeing it when we're tailgating before football
games. It was always kind of a staple that was there."

Higgins agreed.

"Everyone I've talked to is really impressed with it, with
the work we've put into it," he said.

Several of the men predicted the Delt-mobile would
become a Delt tradition.

"Chris said he was going to keep the truck in the house for
a while, so I'm sure it will be," Guild said.

adviser steps down but sees through

vision 2000 comp

Fraternity members prepared for the millennium, but
their adviser decided it was time to give someone else the
chance to lead them to it.

Delta Upsilon's Vision 2000 project was slated for
completion by fall 1999. While coordination for the project
was nearly complete, its project coordinator, Dave Fritchen,
chose to step down from his other position as chapter ad-
viser. Fritchen, DU's adviser and assistant professor of archi-
tectural engineering and construction science, helped with
the project from its beginning in 1993.

"About that time, the alumni corporation was about one
year into Vision 2000 campaign to completely renovate, add
additional property to the existing chapter house and get
ready for the new millennium," Fritchen said. "I volunteered
to be project coordinator. I'm the only one on the alumni
board who has engineering and construction background."

Vision 2000 involved $1.4 million in renovations and
would bring the house's capacity from 68 to 82.

"This postition of chapter adviser is normally a three-
year role, but I'm going on five years," Fritchen said. "As
long as I'm chapter adviser, it doesn't allow anyone else to do
it."

Scott Leahy, president and senior in electrical engineer-
ing, said Fritchen's help was essential to the project, and he
would be missed as chapter adviser.

"He thinks the project will be finished within the year and
thinks it's time to give someone else the chance, but he's been
the project leader, start to finish," Leahy said. "He lined up
all the contractors, got the zoning board's approval and our

neighbors' support. He's spent a lot of weekends and late
nights. You wouldn't believe how many forms you have to
fill out."

Since the project included both the help of alumni and
undergraduates, Leahy said part of Fritchen's job included
maintaining relations between the two.

"He's pretty much the liaison between the undergradu-
ates and the alumni," he said. "He takes ideas to the alumni
board and has been involved pretty heavily with the de-
sign."

J.R. Robl, junior in political science, said Fritchen's help
made the renovations possible.

"He paved the way for the new addition," Robl said.
"The new house has been a big goal, and it shows the
incredible progress. He's really in charge, kind of the Jesus
Christ of the whole thing."

Robl said Fritchen not only helped with the project but
also with the fraternity members, and it would be difficult to
find a replacement.

"He's leaving a tough position to fill. It's a tough job,"
Robl said. "He's very helpful. He gives us help and advice on
schedules or answers any questions college students would
have. He's the away-from-home father figure."

Fritchen said although he would miss his position, he
looked forward to the project's completion.

"This role of project coordinator consumes an awful lot of
time, but it's been very exciting for me," he said. "It gives (DU
undergraduates) the kind of environment in which they can
achieve their goals and the goals of DU fraternity."

residents enjoy convenience of

new computer networ

FarmHouse members could check their e-mail in their
pajamas if they wanted.

A new network, connecting the house to campus
Ethernet, Internet and telephone lines, gave residents e-mail
access from their personal computers. The new system also
gave the house a campus phone number.

David Hendricks, senior in agriculture technology man-
agement, worked with KSU Telecommunications to install
the system.

"The last time we had a major renovation was in 1954,"
Hendricks said. "Things had been pretty much the same
since then."

Hendricks said the house was old and needed repairs
and renovations.

"We were starting to have troubles with the plumbing
and pipes rusting and breaking," he said. "The breakers in
the house weren't built for computers and TVs in every
room."

Before installing the new system, residents who wanted
Ethernet access on their personal computers had to pay a
connection fee through the university. The new system
allowed residents with personal computers to receive cam-
pus e-mail and access the Internet at no extra charge.

"I think the guys really like it. They used to have to go on
campus or borrow someone's dial-up to use e-mail,"
Hendricks said. "People just didn't check their e-mail and
research over the Web. This year, the computer labs are full,
and people are enjoying it."

Kris Meiergerd, president and junior in animal science,
said the new system caused residents to take advantage of
the fraternity's computers.

Before the renovations, the fraternity had two computers
and a copy machine. The new system added another com-
puter and a server used for research and file sharing.

The house underwent a complete structural renovation
as well. All rooms were renovated, except the educational
wing, Hendricks said. Plumbing, fire sprinklers and smoke
detectors were updated. New flooring, walls, ceilings and
furniture were installed in rooms.

"We wanted to look at the technology side when we
renovated," Hendricks said. "We were bringing wire up so
people could hook computers and TVs up in their rooms."

Hendricks worked with Spencer Smith, Telecommunica-

tions network administrator, to get the new network in-
stalled.

"Since they remodeled over the summer, when they ran
a new phone line, we just brought in our equipment," Smith
said. "We worked with Southwestern Bell to transport sig-
nals from the campus to the house."

FarmHouse wasn't the only greek house interested in the
new system.

"A lot of fraternities and sororities were asking for
Ethernet," Smith said. "Dorms had them, and they were
feeling left behind."

Far from being left behind, FarmHouse was among the
first group of greek houses to hook up to the campus net-
work. Alpha Delta Pi, Alpha Xi Delta, Pi Kappa Phi and
Acacia also hooked up to the campus system throughout the
year.

"We would like to get all of the greek houses hooked up,"
Smith said. "It's just a matter of time and available resources
to get everyone interested in it."

Since FarmHouse was one of the first houses to install the
system, Smith said it was two to three months from the initial
request to having the system installed. However, he said it
was an easy process, especially for house residents, who just
filled out a work order with Telecommunications.

Having access to the campus network improved technol-
ogy for the fraternity, but Hendricks said they continued to
look into other new technology.

"We're really trying to improve the technology in the
house, he said. "We want people to get the benefits of it all."

Residents said they enjoyed the accessibility of the sys-
tem as well as the money it saved.

"It helps with researching and looking up things on the
Internet," Meiergerd said. "It makes it a lot easier. Instead of
hauling everything over to the computer lab, you can do
everything at home."

The system wasn't used only for studying. Residents
enjoyed the convenience of having e-mail in their rooms as
well.

"It makes it a lot easier," Meiegerd said. "The only time
I would check my e-mail before was if I was on campus. I was
usually running to class and didn't have much time. Now I
can check it late at night. It's much more convenient to keep
in touch with family and friends."

amma phi beta}

fraternities donate to gamma phi spiketacular

( despite cancellation

:
::::

>»
"D

Not once, not twice, but three times the men did not get
to play.

The fraternity portion of Spiketacular, a volleyball tour-
nament put on by Gamma Phi Beta and Beta Theta Pi, was
canceled because of the weather.

Betas had their tournament for sororities to compete
Sept. 18. The Gamma Phi's fraternity portion, slated for Sept.
20, was canceled due to rain. The event competed with
football games on Saturdays and with Wildcat Creek Sports
Center's schedule on Sundays. The Gamma Phis resched-
uled the event for Oct. 4.

"And then it rained again," Terrelle Carlgren,
Spiketacular chairwoman and junior in secondary educa-
tion, said. "We tried to do it indoors, but the Rec's schedule
didn't have an opening, and it was nearly impossible to find
a time that fit with all the fraternities' schedules."

Jodi Pape, president and senior in nutrition science, said
the sorority tried to find a time that fit everyone's schedules.
"We sent out a letter in October and explained the
situation, and we asked if they'd still be interested," she said.
"And then it rained again, and we canceled again. We set an
additional date, but by then it was so late in the semester
there were not enough people able to participate. So we had
to go ahead and cancel all the fraternities."

Theta Xi member Trent Meverden, senior in electrical
engineering, said the event would not have been the same
had it been inside the Chester E. Peters Recreation Complex.

"It's always out at Wildcat Creek with all the houses," he
said. "It's always a nice day, and if it was inside, there
wouldn't be enough room for everyone to come out and
cheer you on."

Pape said the sorority decided it would be best to cancel
the tournament.

"We knew if it was at the Rec, the participation level
wouldn't be very high." Pape said. "We decided it was best
not to have it."

Although the weather ruined their plans to compete, the
17 fraternity teams still donated their $40 fees to Camp
Sechelt.

The camp was Gamma Phi's philanthropy that sent un-
derprivileged girls from the United States to Canada.

"Some fraternities had two or three teams who were
going to participate, and even though the event was can-
celed, they still donated their entry fee," Pape said. "Consid-
ering the circumstances, that it was postponed twice, it was
extremely generous of the fraternities to still go ahead and
contribute. It's awesome that they chose to do that."

Dan Keenan, Beta Spiketacular chairman and senior in
architectural engineering, said the men knew what the event
was all about.

"They just contributed to the spirit of the whole idea," he
said.

Carlgren said the fraternities only followed through with
what they had committed themselves to.

"They'd already given us the checks, and said they
wanted to give to the philanthropy," she said. "They're not
going to renege over not being able to play."

Keenan also said the fraternities wouldn't want their
money back when they knew it was for a good cause.

"Yeah, they didn't get to do it." Keenan said, "but they
wouldn't want to punish the people we had the philan-
thropy for just because they didn't get to play."

Meverden said he understood why the tournament was
canceled.

"I was a little bit disappointed, but it makes sense why
they weren't able to schedule it because of the rain," he said.
"We were really pumped up about it."

Meverden said he was also glad the fraternities still
donated the entry fee.

"I thought it was really the decent thing to do," he said.
"It's the whole reasoning behind having the philanthropy.
The charity shouldn't have to suffer."

powder puff football allows thetas to make

plays in husker terntor

Kappa Alpha Theta members ended their powder puff
football season soaking wet and covered in mud.

The sorority sisters lost in the semifinal round of the Nike
College Tournament, Nov. 7 and 8 in Lincoln, Neb., after
playing on a soggy field in cold temperatures.

Rain and snow fell throughout the weekend, and the
team played in a pile of mud. The mud created challenges
during the tournament, especially when the women at-
tempted to run plays, Sara Meese, sophomore in architec-
ture, said.

"We were a little bit disappointed," Meese said. "We
played so hard, but it didn't turn out the way we wanted. The
other team adapted to the conditions better."

Despite the difficulty to adjust, the Theta team still won
three games out of the four they played.

"We were supposed to have two games on Saturday, but
one team dropped out because of the weather," Meese said.
"On Sunday morning, we played in the quarterfinals and the
semifinals."

Theta's team participated in the Nebraska tournament
after it completed playing in Tau Kappa Epsilon's powder
puff football philanthropy.

Attending the Nebraska tournament wasn't affected by
the team's record during the TKE season.

After the regular season, where the team placed second,
team members paid an entrance fee and turned in a roster to
compete. The grand prize was to play in a powder puff game
during halftime of a Bowl Championship Series football
game.

The team needed to adjust its plays before the tourna-
ment, but there was only one week to practice. That week
was also initiation week, allowing little practice time, Meese
said.

"The rules are different here, so we had to change the way
we did some things," Courtney Higgins, junior in account-
ing and finance, said. "The major rule that was different was

here you can have two forward passes, and there you can
only have one."

Powder puff football allowed women to learn new plays
while playing simultaneously with the Chester E. Peters
Recreation Complex intramural flag football season in the
fall.

After paying a $90 entry fee, the participating 10 sorori-
ties were assigned TKE coaches.

"The TKEs coach us during the year," Meese said. "We
see what works and what didn't. The TKEs help us out a lot,
but we adapt from them."

From the audience's standpoint, the league was a success
for both the TKEs and the women who played, Teresa
Middleswart, sophomore in life sciences, said.

"I think it is highly organized," said Middleswart, who
didn't compete because of a problem with her shoulder. "It's
a great chance for girls to show off their skills in football."

Middleswart followed the team to the tournament in
Lincoln and attended every regular-season game.

"There are six weeks of regular season games," Greg
Jones, sophomore in business and TKE member, said. "Ev-
ery team goes to the playoffs, and it's single elimination. All
the money raised goes to the Special Olympics here in
Manhattan."

Despite the imperfect end to the season, the team gained
more than they lost, Middleswart said.

"I thought it was a lot of fun," Middleswart said. "It was
a great chance for the girls to play other teams, and they met
a lot of people."

Playing in the league also offered an opportunity for the
teammates to acquaint themselves with other sorority mem-
bers. The sorority had 140 members, so it was difficult to get
to know everyone personally, Middleswart said.

"In high school, we had a close bond," Meese said.
"That's what I missed when I went to college, but this
tournament brought that back."

after a five-year absence from k-state,

kd sorori returns ho

On Oct. 4, Panhellenic Council voted 9-2 to reinstate
Kappa Delta sorority. That vote made good a five-year
promise that KD would be the first sorority to be invited back
when the number of rushees increased.

The 1998 sorority rush, which increased by 100 women
from the previous year, caused a strain on existing chapters,
said Lindsey Roy, Panhellenic Council president and senior
in journalism and mass communications.

"We felt like this was the right time," Roy said. "We've
had increasing enrollment and rush numbers."

Roy said some chapters felt inviting a new sorority would
hurt chapters that hadn't reached quota.

Barb Robel, Greek Affairs adviser, was optimistic that
wouldn't be the case.

"When a new sorority comes on campus, there is excite-
ment about membership," she said. "The excitement will
benefit all sororities."

When KD left in 1993, they chose not to sell their house at
1220 Centennial Drive with hopes of returning to campus.
The local alumni chapter set up a house corporation board,
responsible for caring for the property.

The board began preparing the house for KD's return

after they were invited back. Sue Peterson, board president
and KD alumna, said the house needed to be cleaned and
painted.

"The main issue is to make sure the property is ready to
reopen," Peterson said.

KDs wouldn't conduct a formal rush with other houses
on campus but decided to use the weekend of Sept. 24-26,
1999, to have a colonization rush.

"It takes a whole lot of us," Peterson said. "We're going
to be calling alums from all over the state from our chapter.
It's going to be a big team effort. Everyone is going to help."

Roy said undergraduates from other Kansas KD chapters
and national officers would also help conduct rush.

Although the KDs would not offer relief to the 1999 Rush
Week, Robel said the next rush would benefit from an extra
sorority.

"I think the greek houses at K-State are very strong,"
Peterson said. "They have an excellent reputation with in-
coming students. We'll hold our own with enrollment, so
that will give us a great participation in rush. From our
standpoint, we're just honored to be asked to come back and
be a part of the system."

winning ambassador elections keeps

. ' 'C

She knew for two years she wanted to run for Student
Ambassador. Her sister's friend, also a Kappa Kappa
Gamma, had succeeded, then two more girls in her sorority.

"The streak could have ended because of me," Angela
Moxley, junior in textile science, said. "That's a lot of pres-
sure to put on someone."

Moxley's fears turned out to be unwarranted when the
student body elected her a Student Ambassador at the Oct.
24 football game. During her one-year term she would
represent students to alumni and prospective students.

Moxley's sorority sister, Sara Reser, senior in marketing
and 1998 Student Ambassador, welcomed her.

"It has special meaning because of the comfort factor,"
she said. "When I wondered, 'Do I belong here?' Sara told
me, 'I know you'll be excellent at doing this.' Coming from
an ambassador, it's something that really encourages you."

Reser said she liked leaving the job to someone she knew.

"It's been really nice to know Angie took my place," she
said. "I had so much fun, and it's nice to know a friend gets
to do it."

Reser said it also had special meaning for their sorority.

"I think there's been so much excitement in our house

because a couple of people have done it," she said. "It's
something we're proud of. It shows we support our sisters.
It's an exciting thing we've gotten to pass down."

The sorority supported her and the other ambassadors
because it gave inspiration for everyone to get involved.

"The house focuses more on overall involvement,"
Moxley said. "It's more important to encourage others to get
involved in what they're good at."

Heather Landsdowe, assistant director of alumni pro-
grams and All-University Homecoming Committee chair,
said a streak like the Kappas occasionally happened because
people in the same living groups found out about the pro-
gram from each other.

"Over the years, sometimes a trend just develops," she
said. "Sometimes, it happens because they see a friend doing
a job, and they find it more intriguing. Some people on
campus just aren't familiar with the program."

Moxley said Reser helped her know what to expect.

"Starting out, you don't know everything, but at the end,
Sara says you're like, T wish I knew that,' " Moxley said. "She
gives me advice. She'll watch me and tell me honestly how to
improve."

dedicated fans make lifelong

-sta

Watching SportsCenter in his Manhattan home on the
rainy Saturday morning of Oct. 31, Dave Nowak, senior in
construction science and management, answered his ringing
phone at 10 a.m.

His traveling buddies and Kappa Sigma fraternity broth-
ers were on the other end of the line in Lawrence, telling him
it was time to crack open a beer. Nowak wasn't tailgating
with them before the K-State-KU football game because he
was battling a 102-degree temperature and didn't want to
risk serious illness. But that didn't stop him from downing a
cold one with his buddies.

"Oh yeah, it was still gameday," Nowak said.

That was the normal routine for Nowak, Matt David,
Scott Greenway and Monte Lamond almost every Saturday
morning during the K-State football season, Lamond said.

"We usually start drinking pretty early in the morning,
and on those trips that some of the guys weren't able to make,
we call them on the phone," Lamond, junior in agronomy,
said. "Either wake them or they're already awake. We have
a beer while we're talking on the phone, just so we can, in a
sense, be together."

The tradition of traveling to K-State road games together
started when David, Greenway and Lamond went to College
Station, Texas, Oct. 19, 1996, to see the Wildcats play Texas
A&M. From then on, Greenway, senior in chemical engineer-
ing, said the group was hooked on road trips.

"We loved College Station," Greenway said. "We de-
cided we wanted to go to other college towns and see what
life was like there."

The group continued to travel, with Nowak joining them
for the first time Oct. 25, 1997, for the Norman, Okla., trip to
see K-State play Oklahoma. At least three of the four traveled
to every K-State road game of the 1998 season. Lamond said
there was more that kept the group together than just being
in the same fraternity.

"We've kind of just bonded as a group. We all enjoy

football, the drinking that comes along with it," Lamond
said. "It just kind of kept us together, not to mention we're in
the same fraternity, so we see a lot of each other."

While making their trips, the group made sure to leave its
mark on the host city or college town.

"When we went to Baylor, we called their college radio
station on the air while we were driving," Greenway said.
"We told them we were basically going to beat them into a
bloody pulp the next day, and they agreed with us on the
air."

The most traveled of the group, David, senior in hotel
and restaurant management, missed only two K-State foot-
ball games, one on the road and one at home, in four seasons.
He was supposed to graduate in May but took the spring
semester off and would graduate in December. Instead of
taking classes in the spring, David said he worked on an
internship for eight months, partly because he wanted an-
other season of K-State football as a student.

"My parents always told me I had four years of college
they would pay for, and for the rest I was on my own," David
said. "I figured out a way to get four years of money and five
football seasons."

Despite being the only person in the group willing to
rearrange his life for another season of K-State football,
David wasn't the biggest fanatic in the traveling group,
Lamond said.

"He's more vocal about it. I would say all of us love the
game equally, and especially for K-State football — we're all
pretty much fanatics," Lamond said. "Matt's a little more
vocal about it to say the least."

Greenway and Lamond proved they were fanatics with
the pact they made with David at the Builders Square Alamo
Bowl.

"We made a pact when we were down at the Alamo
Bowl," David said. "Until we die, we're going to go to every
K-State bowl game together."

Paint It Purple was no longer worth points for Homecom-
ing competition, but Lambda Chi Alpha members voted to
complete their service project anyway.

"We were kind of trying to show everyone the reason
Paint It Purple is there is to help the community out," said
Travis Morgan, Lambda Chi Paint It Purple Homecoming
committee chairman and sophomore in business adminis-
tration. "It's not necessarily the Homecoming points that
were important to us. It was helping the community out.
And the guys in our house are about more than just the
Homecoming points."

Paint It Purple was the largest point earner until being
cancelled.

Aaron Cross, Lambda Chi Homecoming chairman and
senior in industrial engineering, said greek Homecoming
chairmen and chairwomen voted to cancel Paint It Purple
because of poor participation by sorority and fraternity
members.

The United Way scheduled the community service
projects for Saturdays, which sometimes conflicted with
football games and tailgate parties. Cross said improve-
ments, such as allowing the houses to set their own dates or
giving more notice about project dates could be made for the
future.

However, he said canceling the event was the right
decision.

"I was disappointed to back out of something I was
committed to," Cross said about the group's decision to
cancel Paint It Purple. "I think canceling it was better than us
not showing up."

For their Paint It Purple project, Lambda Chi members
picked up trash at City, Cico and Annenberg parks from 8:30
to about 10 a.m. Oct. 17.

"It was something we'd already committed to do for the
United Way," Todd Briggeman, senior in mechanical engi-
neering, said. "They already had the resources planned out,

and they'd already figured out what we were going to do. We
were just upholding our end of the bargain."

Stormy weather did not deter about 65 members from
participating, Morgan said.

"It was a lot of fun over in Annenberg Park," Morgan
said. "There were pumpkins spread out all over the place.
We had a lot of fun picking all those pumpkins up and
picking up all the trash and stuff."

Briggeman said Morgan banged pots and pans to wake
up members. The loud awakening was not their only moti-
vation to do the community service project.

"First of all, we're helping people out," Briggeman said.
"Second of all, we're getting our name out in a good respect.
A lot of times people don't look at the greek system through
rose-colored glasses."

Morgan said he did not approve of the event's cancella-
tion because some houses had already completed their
projects and did not receive recognition. He said he wanted
the project to be a part of future Homecoming competitions.

"A lot of people get a bad image of the people involved in
these groups, and I think they are really great people and
have a lot to offer the community," Morgan said. "The
service is getting a group of people together this large and
doing something. It should be for community service and
getting the greek community together to do something.
There's a great amount of honor in doing service."

Lambda Chis were required to do at least two community
service projects a semester. Brian Briggeman, junior in
agribusiness, said members would find other community
service projects to complete if Paint It Purple was perma-
nently cancelled.

"Community service is about helping, and that's what
we follow in our national guidelines," Briggeman said. "I
think there was motivation that just got ignited and got going
with everybody and carried on, and everybody was like,
'Hey, this is a great idea.' "

fraternities and sororities visit thrift stores

to dress for date parties

For some, polyester pants, go-go boots and Hawaiian
shirts never went out of style.

Fraternities and sororities made use of those styles by
having date parties or functions where members and dates

dressed in wedding clothes, Hawaiian

fashions or styles from past decades.

Matt Dill, freshman in electrical engi-
neering, said flashback functions and date
parties were popular because they allowed
people to act in ways they normally
wouldn't.

"People act the way they dress," Dill
said. "If you are dressed more formally,
you aren't going to be as relaxed. However,
if you are dressed crazy, you are going to
have more fun. You look crazy and stupid
anyway, so you might as well act the part."

Being dressed in odd clothing encour-
aged people to act crazier than they nor-
mally would, Cameron Dolbee, sopho-
more in mechanical engineering, said.

"We were at Village Inn with two other
couples and the two other guys started
singing and serenading the waitress," he
said.

Dill said finding clothes to wear was

part of the flashback party experience.

"I found my pants in Junction City outside a thrift shop,"
Dill said. "We were looking to see if they were even open,

and they were in a bag outside the store with a bunch of other

Clothing worn by partygoers caused humorous situa-
tions outside of the parties Dolbee said.

"We all went to Vista to get a brownie

delight, and my date's dress matched the
furniture," Dolbee said. "It was the same
color, material and all."

Having the added twist of dressing up
increased attendance at most parties,
Christie Longberg, sophomore in el-
ementary education, said.

"More people go just because it is so
much fun to go out to Grandma's Trunk
and get your clothes and then go pick
your date up all dressed up," Longberg
said. "When it is a fun theme, people are
more likely to stick around and not just
show up and then go to the bars."

Party themes ranged from luaus to
"Revenge of the Nerds," and Dill said
there was room for almost any theme.

"I've always wanted to have a party
and call it Wild and Woolly, " he said.
"You could have a western theme and

dress up as buffalo, or I think there

should be a Woodstock theme. That way
you wouldn't have to worry about clothes, and you could
always go naked."

Alpha Kappa Alpha sorority ended its semi-annual Al-
pha Kappa Alpha Week with a bang when the women had
their first Singled Out competition, a mock version of the
MTV game show.

While Alpha Kappa Alpha Week was celebrated once
each semester and included events meant to help the sorority
build sisterly relations, the women decided to bring some-
thing new to the week.

"We had talked about it for about two years," Chanda
Mays, senior in sociology, said. "I got everything to do it
organized, and we did it."

The Singled Out competition required a donation of a
non-perishable food item to attend or participate. The
women donated the items to Manhattan's Red Cross Emer-
gency Shelter.

AKAs had the competition on Friday as the week's final
event Sept. 25. Mays, who organized the event, spent two
weeks in the K-State Student Union screening possible con-
testants by having them fill out surveys. Six contestants were
chosen — three men and three women.

"I feel so nervous," Miwako Davison, sophomore in
journalism and mass communications, said before the event.
"1 hope I get a good date."

Before each round of the competition, a group of 50
people were questioned. Their answers were written on
heart-shaped cards and pinned to their clothes. During the
competition, contestants of the opposite sex asked the group
the same questions.

The questions were fun for the contestants and the audi-
ence, and they contained subjects like underwear prefer-
ence, Mays said.

The contestants then chose which response they wanted
to eliminate. People who had those responses on their cards
were eliminated. After the 50 were narrowed down to three
possible dates, they were all asked the same questions. If
their answers matched the answers the contestants gave,

they moved forward. The first to reach the contestant was the
winner.

"I'm really glad I got picked," said Alfred Jackson, win-
ner of Davison's contest and sophomore in business admin-
istration. "It'll be a special night. This is something fun for
students to do,
and it's a free date,
so why not?"

In another
round, Akilah
Hardy, junior in
pre-nursing, imi-
tated a touch-
down dance.

"I'm so excit-
ed," Hardy said.
"I've never won
anything before."

Hardy said she
and her date,
Brandon Franklin,
freshman in construction science and management, were
both too busy to use their prize.

"We never went on the date," she said. "We just split the
tickets, but we keep in touch, and we're still good friends."

For their dates, winners received gift certificates from
restaurants, including The Gold Fork and Carlos O'Kelly's,
as well as free movie passes and free games of miniature golf
and bowling.

Aranda Jones, sophomore in elementary education, said
she enjoyed the competition because it involved everyone.

The competition ended Alpha Kappa Alpha Week. Korri
Hall, senior in elementary education, said like other events
during the week, Singled Out was a success.

"I was very impressed with the turnout," she said. "There
were over 100 people there."

Instead of having one house, Phi Delta Thetas had four.

After Phi Delts sold their old house at 508 Sunset to Delta
Chis in 1997, they moved into a small house located on their
new lot at 2216 Claflin in addition to three rental properties.

Evan Howe, Phi Delt adviser, said the advisory board
wanted to keep members close to their property.

"We talked about apartments," Howe said, "but we felt
it was the best idea to use the property we have."

Members lived out of house or continued to live under
their housing contract. Those who chose to live in house
could live in one of the three rental properties or in the annex.

"A lot of the officers chose to live under the housing
contract," Michael Goodpasture, senior in physical sciences,
said. "I really like it. The rent is a lot cheaper. That is for sure. "

Although there were benefits, spreading members out
caused problems, too.

"A majority of our members live out of house, and it's
hard to get everyone together and on time," Michael
Gelphman, senior in management, said. "We're all accus-
tomed to the house at 508 Sunset."

The annex on their property served as the temporary Phi
Delt house during the construction, Howe said.

"They have the capability to serve evening meals to
everyone in the house," Howe said. "It's especially nice since
some of our rental houses are right next to it."

In addition to housing four members, Howe said the
annex became a gathering place for the men.

"There we have a place for everything they need," he
said. "It has a pool table, a foos ball table, the computer lab
and all of our old composites."

The new lot was a better location, Howe said.

"The land we have is six times larger than what we had
at the old house," he said. "We will be able to have basketball
courts and a large parking area with parking stalls for
everyone."

Following new national guidelines, the Phi Delt house
would be a dry house upon completion in fall 2000. How-
ever, members opted to go dry when they left their old house.

Gelphman said the benefits were worth the transition.

"If we put up a new house, we want to do it right," he said.
"The alumni board wants to put up a nice house and make it
one of the best Phi Delt houses in the nation. It's been sort of
an odd time, but the thing that has made it easier is that we
know we are getting this nice $2.5 million dollar house."

renovations and senior wing entice

seniors to live in house

A new wing on the Phi Gamma Delta house enticed more
members to call the house home their senior year.

The house increased capacity from 60 to about 70 with the
new six-room wing in the fall.

"They're really good about letting senior guys live in if
they choose to," said Rob Griswold, senior in management
who lived in the new wing. "If the seniors want to stay in,
they're welcome to, but having more space encourages it."

Rather than sharing the rooms with four people, two men
shared rooms in the senior wing.

"One of the drivers in this whole thing was that our
retention of seniors was so small," Allen Switzer, chapter
adviser, said. "One thing was that they just needed to go on,
but they also wanted more privacy."

Although the rooms eventually provided more privacy
for the men, they weren't completed until October.

"It was a pretty rough transition because we were living
in here while the changes were going on," Griswold said. "I
had to move like three times."

Despite the inconveniences, Switzer said the number of
seniors wishing to live in the house more than doubled.

"We have 10 who live in," Griswold said, "and I could
give you seven names for sure of people who would like to
live in now that it's done."

The senior wing, along with other renovations, were paid
for by alumni support and loans.

"Our oldest graduate is 50 years old, which means the
oldest guy just put his kids through college, so that they came
up with the money is amazing to me," Griswold said. "The

graduates really pulled through with the contributions."

Renovations included new heating, air-conditioning
units and windows, and improvements to the parking lot,
porch, plumbing and wiring.

"It's something that needed to be done," Greg Ernzen,
president and junior in marketing, said. "There's just a lot of
wear and tear done to the house with 60 guys living in it. The
house looks a lot more like a fraternity house."

Since purchasing the house in 1995, several renovations
had been made, but the summer and fall renovations were
the most extensive, Switzer said.

"You come to a point where you say, 'If we're going to do
this right from now on, we need to bite the bullet and do it,' "
he said.

Fijis also needed to stay competitive with other living
facilities in Manhattan, Switzer said. He said college men
wanted more access to technology, so they hired a computer
expert to help ensure the house was wired for the future.

"Men come to K-State today with a television, VCR, their
own computer and six to eight small appliances," Switzer
said. "When I came to school 20 years ago, I had an alarm
clock and a turn table. With the renovations, we are able to
accommodate more of that."

Members also took care of the house better after the
renovations, Switzer said.

"When we did not have nice living quarters, when we
were renting this house, it was a dump. Nobody cared.
Nobody wanted to take care of the house," he said. "Now
that we've made these improvements, people care."

through toy donations, phi kapps

'spread Christmas cheer

Winter formal involved more than dressing up and danc-
ing the night away for Phi Kappa Theta fraternity members.
It meant getting into the Christmas spirit and helping those
in need.

On Dec. 12, the Phi Kapps brought their dates to the
house for an evening of dining, dancing and a surprise visit
from Santa Claus.

The fraternity members rented a Santa suit and chose one
member to dress up in it. After dinner, Santa sat by the
Christmas tree. He called out the names of the women
present and asked them to sit on his lap and tell him what
they wanted for Christmas.

After listening to their Christmas wishes, Santa pre-
sented each with a gift. But the gifts were not for the women.
Instead they fulfilled the Christmas wishes of Manhattan-
area children.

"Each guy buys a gift in advance," said Courtney
Henderson, president and junior in human resource man-
agement. "Santa calls out the dates' names, and they open a
gift that's donated to Toys for Tots."

Each member bought a $10-$15 gift and wrapped it
before the party. They put the names of their dates on the
gifts for Santa to present at the party.

Mark Thomas, senior in mechanical engineering, said
about 40 couples attended, and each contributed a toy.

The Phi Kapps didn't let their dates know what would
happen at the dance. The sight of Santa surprised several
women, and he surprised them even more when he asked
them to sit on his lap, Aaron Shea, junior in secondary

education, said.

"If the girl is someone everyone knows, Santa messes
with them a little and gives them a hard time," he said. "It's
amusing."

Getting into the Christmas spirit was the main focus,
Thomas said, but getting to embarrass the women added to
the festivities.

"It's a way to give back to the community," he said. "It
gets us in the Christmas spirit, and it's entertaining to embar-
rass the dates."

Shea said the formal gave them a time to have fun and
relax before finals week.

"Everyone's here," Shea said. "We're all hanging out and
having a good time. It's a way to relieve a little tension before
finals."

Even members who weren't able to attend the function
contributed to the cause.

"There's always guys who are out of town," Thomas said.
"But they bought a gift anyway."

Although the members enjoyed the party, Henderson
said the purpose was to give something to the community.

"It's always a lot of fun," he said. "It keeps the guys'
spirits up. But the point of the party is that it's not for us."

The event allowed members to help children better enjoy
Christmas and helped the Phi Kapps remember the meaning
of Christmas, Henderson said.

"We do it because it's a good thing to outreach to children
of the community," he said, "and it keeps the guys down to
earth."

It started with the Oprah Winfrey show and ended with
a four-bedroom house.

In between, Pi Beta Phi members raised more than
$32,000 to make the Habitat for Humanity home a reality.

"Lindsey de la Torre and Aimee Jackson literally burst
into my office at Career and Employment Services one day
and said, 'We have been watching Oprah, and did you know
Oprah is having an angel network to build 205 houses?' "
Marcia Schuley, Habitat for Humanity president, said.

When Oprah Winfrey challenged viewers to build with
Habitat for Humanity in fall 1997, the Pi Phis became the only
non-corporate sponsor to take on the challenge.

"We were really interested just because three of the four
homes that have been built have gone to single mothers,"
Jackson, senior in interior design, said of Manhattan's Habi-
tat for Humanity homes, "and we thought, as a women's
organization, it would be really great to help these women."

Schuley hadn't heard about the challenge when de la
Torre, junior in kineseology, and Jackson offered to raise the
money for one of the Oprah Angel Network houses. But
when she received the application to have one of the homes
in Manhattan, she was prepared with answers.

"One of the questions was, 'How are you going to raise
money?' " Schuley said. "I was able to write down that Pi
Beta Phi sorority, the Pi Phi angels, are already planning on
how to raise money for this home."

The two women organized events enlisting the help of Pi
Phi members. They took donations at a booth in Wal-Mart,
had a benefit concert at Lucky BrewGrille and conducted a

raffle. They also sent letters to friends, families and alumnae
asking for donations.

Once they finished fund-raising spring semester 1998,
the women returned in the summer to help build the house.

"Aimee and I made several trips back this summer and
did the subflooring," de la Torre said. "We put up all the
walls and did a little of the roof. We had a blast building the
house. Hopefully, it's still standing."

On Oct. 3, Pi Phis finally got to see the product of their
work when Debra Johnson's new house was dedicated.

"The dedication ceremony was such a moving event," de
la Torre said. "I'll never forget how excited she was when
they handed her the keys."

For years, Johnson's family had been cramped in a two-
bedroom apartment.

"I lived in that apartment for like six years, and I swore I
wasn't moving until I got a house," said Johnson, who shared
her house with two of her sons, and her father before he went
to a Texas hospital.

Although the house was complete, Jackson and de la
Torre kept in contact with Johnson, becoming guests in the
house they helped fund and build.

Johnson, who was a housekeeper for two sororities, said
she appreciated the time the Pi Phis donated.

"It means a lot to me that a group of young ladies took
some time — because I know sorority girls have a million
other things that they do — took time to raise money for a
house," she said. "I think that is how they'll be in life, go out
of their way for others, and that's good."

Pi Kappa Alpha fraternity members met Pikes from other
generations at the chapter's 85th anniversary celebration
Sept. 18-20.

Sen. Pat Roberts, R-Kan. and 1958 graduate, was the
keynote speaker for the weekend.

Roberts spoke at a banquet on the importance of brother-
hood and his fraternity experiences. He also challenged
actives to make the best of their years as Pikes and spoke
about the organization's history and its future.

"Roberts told us to think about where we were taking the
house," said Brett Gabrielson, president and senior in gen-
eral management. "He asked us to consider how one
person's actions affected the entire fraternity's past and
future. It was a pretty powerful speech."

Pikes' plans for the future included a renovation project.
Mike Holovach, 1998 treasurer and senior in accounting and
information marketing systems, said the project would cost
more than $1 million.

Following Roberts' speech, International Housing Direc-
tor Dan Corah gave a presentation on the renovations. He
also discussed possible fund-raising activities to help alumni
with expenses.

"All weekend, there was kind of a debate going on about
renovating. It was pretty evenly split in the middle,"
Gabrielson said. "Some guys thought it would be great, and
some people said it was too much of a pain."

To help the chapter deal with renovation costs, alumni
formed the Alpha Omega Alumni Association. The associa-
tion, composed of six main alumni, created enthusiasm
among the active members, Gabrielson said.

Julio Guerrero, 1998 membership development chair and
senior in architecture, said the association would also help
alumni stay in contact with active members.

"It set grounds for the development of a new Pike house,"
he said. "It made our chapter a lot closer to our alumni."

Others said the association's role would be more than
financial adviser to the chapter.

"It will help them stay involved with the fraternity,"
Holovach said. "It also helps them stay acquainted with guys
they haven't seen in a long time."

The group met for the first time Sept. 20. Holovach said
they would stay in contact via e-mail and continue to meet
two or three times a year.

ociatio

Holovach said the idea for the alumni association origi-
nated several years before. He said most succesful fraterni-
ties had a similar association established within their chap-
ters.

"The undergraduate fraternity is extremely pleased with
the help of the alumni association," he said. "We hope to
keep up relationships between us and make the fraternity the
best possible."

In addition to meetings, the Pikes spent the weekend
bonding with alumni. They tailgated before attending the
Texas football game together on Saturday and ate brunch
together on Sunday.

Members agreed getting to know the alumni was a good
experience.

"I liked the fact that we had Pikes of all ages from all
generations come together," Guerrero said. "That was pretty
neat."

About 150 people attended the events at the house.

With such a large number of men attending, the anniver-
sary weekend took months of planning and preparation,
Gabrielson said.

"We had tons of little ends to take care of with 75 alumni
being at the house," Gabrielson said. "We had three days of
events to plan. There were guys working nonstop on this.
The biggest challenge was working with Pat Roberts and his
busy schedule."

Although working with Roberts' schedule created chal-
lenges, Holovach said having him there made everything
worthwhile.

"It's a pretty big deal to have a state senator speaking to
us," he said. "I would say that was the highlight of the event. "

However, Gabrielson said he thought spending time
with alumni members culminated the event.

"The weekend was definitely a success," Gabrielson said.
"The best part was getting to know older alumni. It was 85
years ago, and the guys were very different, but the same
traditions still stand. We have a bond even after all this
time."

Guerrero said he realized the importance of bonding, but
he appreciated learning from the alumni.

"I met a lot of successful Pikes," he said. "It was kind of
neat to see how they were Pikes, and they went on to be
successful in their careers. It was reassuring."

A Pi Kappa Phi member pushed his body to the limit for
63 days to help those who had physical limitations.

Phil Beatty, junior in speech pathology, rode in the Jour-
ney of Hope bicycle trip June 14- Aug. 15 to raise money and
awareness for people with disabilities. The event was spon-
sored by Push America, the fraternity's own philanthropy.

"A couple of our national fraternity leaders decided they
wanted to start an organization that Pi Kaps ran and that we
could raise money for," Beatty said. "It's kind of like our own
unique way to help society."

The trip covered more than 3,600 miles and went from
San Francisco to Washington, D.C. Beatty said the journey
had become a tradition for both Pi Kaps and the people they
visited.

Each Journey of Hope team member had to raise $4,000
before he could join the ride. Beatty said he solicited dona-
tions from October to May 1998. Tim Lindemuth, chapter
adviser, said Beatty overcame factors that often dissuaded
men from participating in the trip.

"What Phil did is what a lot of guys in our chapter dream
about," he said. "Many don't get the opportunity for a couple
of reasons. First, it takes a lot of dedication to raise that much
money. Second, it is a great physical challenge. Phil had the
drive to step forward and do it."

John Powers, director of special events for Push America,
said he looked for riders with specific characteristics.

"We like to have riders who are good representatives of
their universities and communities," he said. "They need to
bring enthusiasm to the project as well as a message of
understanding about people with disabilities to others. Phil
demonstrated those qualities on the road this summer."

Beatty was the only representative for his chapter, as well
as for the state, on the trip. He said meeting some of the others
riders beforehand helped, but he was still apprehensive.

"I did meet about seven guys who were going to be on the
north team in St. Louis in January at our annual leadership

conference, but that was only for a weekend," Beatty said. "I
was real nervous the night before I went out, because I
figured that everyone else rode a lot more than I had and that
they'd leave me in the dust."

Beatty said everyone rode together for the first week to
Nevada, then they split onto north and south teams. Beatty,
a member of the north team, rode through 14 states and
averaged 75 miles each day. He said although he didn't train
as much as he should have, he cycled around Manhattan and
rode and ran at the Chester E. Peters Recreation Complex to
prepare for the trip.

"I had these nightmares of it being incredibly hard and
that I wouldn't be able to do it," Beatty said. "I guess in the
back of my mind, though, I'm stubborn and hard headed
enough that I knew that I could do it. It was definitely tough,
though."

Though the days were long and tiring, Beatty said the
friendship visits, which were anything the riders did with
people with disabilities, made the trip worthwhile.

"Any time we got to where we were with the people we
were riding for, it made it all worth it," he said. "You forgot
how tired you were or how sunburned you were."

Riders also performed a puppet show called Kids on the
Block, in which some of the puppets had disabilities and
others did not, for elementary school children. Beatty played
Mark Riley, a boy with cerebral palsy who used a wheelchair
and wore a helmet.

"We do it to dispel myths about people with disabilities,"
he said. "It's not that they're very different from you or I, but
it's maybe that they're in a wheelchair, or they're blind."

Lindemuth said he thought the trip influenced Beatty as
well as those he visited.

"I could see how much he changed as an individual," he
said. "He's not afraid to go up to talk to someone with a
disability and say, 'Hey, you're just like me.' Many would be
uncomfortable doing that, but Phil has transcended that."

new housemother finds

' 5

family in sae members

Of her 98 sons, she had only given birth to three.

The other 95 were members of Sigma Alpha Epsilon
fraternity.

Barbara Podschun, SAE housemother and mother of
three sons, said living with nearly 100 men was not difficult.

"When my boys were home, there were always five or six
extra guys around," she said. "Even when they were in
college, their college friends would stop by to see me or even
stay the night. It doesn't seem that unusual to me at all."

Podschun, who moved from Augusta, Kan., in the fall,
said living as a single mother for 23 years helped prepare her
for the job. Her husband died in an accident, and Podschun
raised her children alone. However, she said being a house-
mother did not create as many challenges as raising her own
children.

"People always ask me if it's deja vu," she said. "I tell
them no, because these boys don't ask me for money or if
they can borrow my car."

Although they did not ask to borrow Podschun's car, the
men of SAE said they could ask her almost anything.

"She's great," Matt Heintz, sophomore in pre-law, said.
"She's really cool. She's really easy to talk to, and she has a
great attitude."

Podschun said the problems she helped the men solve
usually did not require much more than sewing on a button
or stitching a torn shirt. But she said they knew she would be
willing to help them in any way.

"I'm not one to keep the door closed," she said. "1 think
they know they can come to me whenever they want."

The men, Podschun said, did almost as much for her as
she did for them.

"They bend over backward for me," she said. "Even if I
look like I'm going to be carrying a sack in from my car,
they're there to help. I feel like if I need something, they'll
help me out, and I think they feel the same way."

Heintz said helping Podschun feel comfortable allowed
the men to repay her for everything she did for them.

"I think in a sense it's kind of intimidating for an older
lady to live with a bunch of college guys, but she's great," he
said. "When you have a cool housemom, you want to do stuff
for her."

However, Podschun said she considered the men part of
her family, along with her biological sons. She said she found
it easy to feel at home in the fraternity.

"It's like I have all these different families," she said. "I
love it."

The SAEs said Podschun's willingness to improve the
fraternity house and make them feel at home by baking or
putting up decorations, made her a good housemother.

"She gets involved in everything we do," said Scott
Miller, vice president and junior in construction science and
management. "She's just amazing."

Although Podschun retired from her job as food service
director for the Augusta School District, she said working as
a housemother allowed her to stay active and be comfortable
at the same time.

"My friends all can't believe I have it so easy," she said.
"I've worked hard all my life, and now I get a nice change."

to celebrate their golden anniversary,

In November 1999, more than 1,000 alumni of the local
Sigma Chi chapter would drive, fly and ride into Manhattan
for their chapter's 50th anniversary.

That was the estimate given by Jack Marker, organizer of
Sigma Chi alumni reunions and 1967 graduate.

Tentative plans arranged for alumni and their wives to
spend the weekend of Nov. 13-14 in the Little Apple, busy
with activities, including a banquet, open house, campus
tour and talking with Sig brothers.

"I think it means more to the alumni because they're
coming back to see their fraternity brothers for the first time
in 30 years," said David Butts, fund-raising chair, 1998
president and senior in mechanical engineering.

Saturday afternoon, Marker said, most brothers would
spend time at the house. He said many alumni had not seen
the new house after the previous one burned down in 1982.

The banquet would be Saturday evening at the Holiday
Inn. Marker said he scheduled Nelson Van Gundy, 1964
chapter president, to speak at the banquet.

"He was very inspirational to me because he used to
chew on us pledges a lot," he said. "But once we were actives,
he was as good as gold. He was very inspirational. He and I
have stayed in touch during the past 30 years."

Marker said he had the option of scheduling a nationally-
known Sig alumnus.

"I chose not to go with a nationally-recognized name, like
Merlin Olson or David Letterman," he said. "Those people
command a speaking fee. I would rather have somebody
from the local chapter, who came up through the ranks and

was president of the house. Van Gundy provides an inspira-
tional message about brotherhood and ideals."

A Sunday morning brunch, sponsored by the chapter,
would be across the street from the chapter house in City
Park. It would be the last scheduled activity.

"I'm going to hold down any kind of planned activities
and let the guys do their own thing," Marker said. "That's
what I want them to do: have unscheduled time, unstruc-
tured time, to get together with the guys they lived with."

While alumni prepared for the anniversary, the under-
graduates also looked forward to November.

"I think it will be meaningful to the undergraduates to see
all the older guys showing enthusiasm," Butts said. "I'm
looking forward to it. I hope to have a lot of the younger
alumni back, see how they're doing and where they're at in
their lives."

While looking toward November, the chapter planned
improvements to the house.

"We're going to raise money to renovate the first floor,"
Luke Meek, president and junior in nutritional sciences, said.

He said the house was becoming worn down, and the
renovations would be needed before the anniversary.
Marker said he would visit the house to sit down with the
officers and inform them what he planned to do.

"My philosophy and my purpose in this is to come back
and relive," Marker said. "Whether you graduated five years
ago or you were in the first class back in 1948, you can come
back and spend time with the guys you went through the
house with."

with heightened interest in philanthropy,

A cloudy day and chilly temperatures didn't deter Sigma
Kappas from playing in the mud Sept 13.

The fourth-annual Mud Bowl volleyball tournament, at
Tuttle Creek Reservoir, increased participation and gener-
ated more money than past years for Sigma Kappas and their
partners, Phi Kappa Theta fraternity. The event raised more
than $2,000, which was split between the two organizations.
Sigma Kappa donated its portion to Alzheimer's disease
research.

Twenty teams competed, twice the 1997 participation.

"I was just hoping for 12 teams," Sandy Rash, foundation
chair and senior in elementary education, said. "We weren't
prepared at all."

Because of the increased number of teams and only two
courts available for play, Sigma Kappas changed Mud Bowl
from a double-elimination tournament to a single-elimina-
tion tournament.

Besides the teams involved with the Mud Bowl tourna-
ment, several fraternities and sorortities that didn't partici-
pate donated money to the philanthrophy . Through involve-
ment and donations, 90 percent of the fraternities and sorori-
ties contributed.

Rash said the biggest part of the job was recruiting teams
and spreading the word about the tournament. She said the
increase in support came front radio advertisements and by
word of mouth, but the members still went to all greek
houses attempting to recruit teams.

"It's a lot of hard work, but it's worth it," Rash said.
"When the day comes, you forget about the work."

Rash said most of the work involved recruiting teams,
which members did by visiting the greek houses and pre-
senting their philanthropy. The women had to keep in con-
tact with prospective teams in order to ensure their partici-
pation and financial contribution.

"Our house really pulls together," Rash said. "We love it.
It's not a pain. We talk about it all year long."

eOk CD

Four to five Sigma Kappa members coached each frater-
nity team. They arrived early Sept. 13 to wake players and
have doughnuts and orange juice. Sigma Kappa coaches
supported and encouraged the teams throughout the tour-
nament, Miranda Smith, sophomore in textiles, said. Phi
Kapps did the same for the women's teams.

Mud pits positioned between each court became a favor-
ite spot to play and get dirty between matches, Smith said.

"They were really cool," she said. "There was one guy on
our team that was older, and he told all the younger guys that
it was tradition to throw the coaches in the mud, so the guys
on my team threw me in."

Sigma Kappas offered a variety of other activities for
players waiting their turns to play. Several participants
began football and flying disc games. Kansas Parks and
Wildlife employees also provided canoes for participants.

The day's cold and wet weather added to mud in the pits.
Despite the cold, players still ventured into a big pool of
water, known as Tuttle Puddle. Players used the puddle to
cleanse themselves of the mud.

Although Mud Bowl allowed the greek community to
have fun, for the first time, it also included Smith Scholarship
House, Smurthwaite Scholarship House and Alpha of
Clovia. Rash said the goal for years to follow was to include
residence hall teams and independent teams.

Parks and Wildlife employees, and the state police also
came out to watch the volleyball action, and KJCK-FM 94.5
did a live broadcast from the tournament site.

Sigma Kappas announced the winners at the end of the
tournament. Tau Kappa Epsilon was the men's winner with
Kappa Sigma as second place. The women's winner was
Clovia, and Alpha Delta Pi received second place. The win-
ners' coaches brought plaques to their houses.

"Except for the really cold weather, it was a blast," Jenni
Latzke, junior in animal science and industry, said. "This is
a good way to have fun and raise money."

young entreprenuer starts business

I1 i
ling shirts on th

)

While spending time at bars, Tanner Mason, Sigma Nu
member, decided to start his own business.

The senior in marketing started The Shirt Company,
which sold bar T-shirts over the Internet.

"Most likely, I was probably sitting in a bar this summer,
and I thought of it," Mason said. "I've always wanted to do
something on my own. I realize the potential of the Internet. "

Mason bought the shirts from suppliers for $3-$8 and
sold them over the Internet for $15. He said he asked bar
owners for permission to buy the shirts from suppliers. In
exchange, he gave them free advertising on his Website.

Mason said he started the company because of increased
interest in the Internet.

"There are so many businesses and stores going up every
day on the Internet," he said. "I thought of it, and it's
something I'd never heard of before. That's mainly why I did
it, because it seemed like a fresh idea."

Once he decided to carry through with the idea, Mason
asked Grant Andres, Sigma Nu member and senior in man-
agement information systems, to help him design the
Website.

"He came to me over the summer and asked what he

needed to do," Andres said. "I told him I'd help out, and I've
been helping ever since."

The site, www.theshirtcompany.com, was created in the
fall. His page also appeared on two Internet search engines,
Yahoo! and Excite.

Andres said he helped make the site prominent.

"When you go to a search engine, you want your name on
top," he said. "I showed him how to get all of that done."

The company served two Manhattan businesses, Porter's
and Boulevard Brewing, as well as two businesses in Boul-
der, Colo. Mason said he wanted to expand his clientele to
other businesses as well.

Mason said he wasn't the type of person to let an idea stay
just an idea.

"I'm not one to sit around," he said. "If I have an idea, I
like to pursue it."

Other Sigma Nus said the business displayed Mason's
character.

"He's set goals, and he's trying to reach them," Davin
Larson, senior in marketing and international business, said.
"It shows he wants to succeed at something. It shows he's got
devotion."

fraternities set house goal to

Besides academics and activities, alcohol was also part of
greek life.

"Alcohol is something that's in college life," Mike Sarow,
1998 Delta Chi president and senior in civil engineering,
said. "It's one of those fundamental things college is about."

That was an attitude fraternities wrestled with when
alumni and national organizations urged them to go dry
and, like sororities, ban alcohol from their property.

Among fraternities with resolutions to have dry houses
were Delta Sigma Phi, Phi Gamma Delta and Sigma Nu.
Those fraternities would join the already dry houses of
FarmHouse and Alpha Gamma Rho.

To make the transition easier, many houses used a phase-
out plan, gradually removing alcohol from events and areas
of houses. Delta Chi was one house that chose to partially go
dry but made no long term plans to go completely dry.

"This semester we had a couple of registered parties at
our house through Greek Affairs, and we decided that this
would be the last semester we'd do that," Sarow said. "We
phased out parties at our facilities because that's usually
where the main liability comes from. Next semester we're
going to phase out drinking by people of age in public places,

2 0

therefore getting rid of the group-drinking atmosphere."

While some fraternities chose not to go dry, not every
fraternity moving toward going dry used a phase-out plan.
Beta Theta Pi went dry immediately in fall 1997.

"It's a big change for a lot of people," Rich Wilson, 1998
president and senior in landscape architecture, said. "I know
there's a lot of houses going dry in the near future. People, I
think, fear it because it's going to be a big change, but I think
it's really beneficial for the greek community as a whole."

Despite benefits, Alpha Tau Omega chose not to go dry.

"It's just a house consensus," Gabe Graham, ATO presi-
dent and senior in marketing and international business,
said. "We have discussed it as a group before, and we didn't
have one person say we should go dry. We won't go dry until
nationals requires it."

Fraternities could find unexpected benefits to having a
dry house, Wilson said.

"People thought it was going to hurt our rush, but we
actually ended up having one of our biggest rush classes
after the house went dry," Wilson said. "A lot of the guys
anymore aren't necessarily looking just to party. They're
looking for a lot more — a support system."

by prioritizing grades, involvement,

sig eps strive for award )

The men of the Sigma Phi Epsilon fraternity spent a year
working toward one goal: the Buchannan Cup.

The Sig Eps became a contender for the award, which was
given every other August to the top 1 percent of chapters in
the nation who excelled in academics, intramurals, social
responsibility, community service, philanthropy, recruit-
ment and chapter finances.

To qualify, a chapter had to obtain a grade point average
above the all-campus average and stand out in other criteria.

"It's always in the back of your head," Matt Wildman,
junior in pre-medicine, said. "It's always a motivational tool
to get involved."

Although the Sig Eps accomplished the high standards to
deserve the Buchannan Cup, two years before it was a
remote possibility.

In fall 1996, the new-member class hosted a party where
minors served alcohol to minors. The National Headquar-
ters cited them with a risk management violation, revoked
the Sig Ep charter and imposed sanctions on the chapter.

"We had to decide whether we were going to lay down
and die, or get back up and say, 'Yeah, we may have hit a
brick wall, but instead of standing there and looking dumb
about it, we're going to climb over it,' " Aaron Clark, senior
in marketing, said.

The Sig Eps completed more than 7,000 hours in commu-
nity service and obtained the best GPA ever earned, a 3.05.

By fall 1997, the chapter regained its charter, but decided
after performing at such a high level, it had a new goal in
reach. The men worked toward the Buchannan Cup,
awarded at the national convention in August 1999. K-
State's chapter hadn't won since the mid-1980s.

If the chapter fell below the all-university average GPA,
then it was automatically disqualified. With academics as
the most important qualification for the cup, the Sig Eps
posted class schedules and exam dates on their closet doors.
Clark said that gave the men motivation to study. Members

also checked each other on grades and study hours.

"There is one guy in the house who I've had every single
class with for the last two years," Clark said. "Every time we
enroll, we pick the same classes, so I automatically have
someone to study with."

The Sig Eps also focused on risk management. They
decided to no longer have any parties at their house. Third-
party vendors catered events off Sig Ep property, and the
men made themselves personally responsible for other
members and guests, Clark said.

"The first thing we think of any time we have a social
event is 'What could go wrong? Could it put us in a situation
like we were before?' " Clark said. "More importantly,
'Could it jeopardize the existence of Sig Eps at K-State?' "

They also worked to accumulate community-service
hours. Wildman said they adopted highways, volunteered
with Big Brothers and Big Sisters and went to Mercy Hospi-
tal and nursing homes to sing Christmas carols.

"It was really fun to see all the people," Kevin
Vanderweide, sophomore in business administration, said.
"Even though we probably didn't sing the best, they were
just happy to see us, which was rewarding in itself."

The Sig Eps also restructured their new member orienta-
tion. The men introduced new members to the history of the
house and explained why and how they won several awards.

"Instead of introducing the guys to alcohol, we take them
on the campus tour," Clark said. "We want them to think,
'Wow, look at this organization I joined,' not, 'Wow, look
how many kegs they have.' "

With the announcement of the Buchannan Cup winner
close, the Sig Eps continued to work toward their goal. To
continue contending for the award, Sig Eps recruited mem-
bers who would carry on with their accomplishments.

"It all falls back to recruitment," Clark said. "Everything
that you do and every angle that you take to preserve the
greek system relies on the kind of members you recruit."

winning awards at convention,

sorority chapter honore

Leadership, scholarship and involvement paid off for
Sigma Sigma Sigma sorority as members celebrated their
100th anniversary June 19-22 at their national convention in
Washington, D.C.

Six members of K-State's chapter brought home five
national awards, including Honor Roll Chapter and Out-
standing Contributor to a Philanthropy.

Tri Sigma had to meet 10 of 15 criteria, such as chapter
participation and scholarship among members to be named
Honor Roll Chapter.

Kelli Benjamin, president and junior in accounting, at-
tributed the number of awards to teamwork and coopera-
tion.

"When a situation comes up, everyone works together,"
she said. "I feel confident everyone will help out whenever
needed."

The chapter was also named Outstanding Contributor to
a Philanthropy for its contributions to the Robbie Page
Memorial Fund, the only philanthropy created by a
Panhellenic sorority.

The memorial fund raised money to fund play therapy
for hospitalized children. Page was the son of a past national
president who died of polio.

"The memorial was originally founded to cure polio,"
Benjamin said. "When the cure was found, we decided to
give money to play therapy."

Barbara Hollingsworth, junior in journalism and mass
communications, won The Triangle Correspondent of the
Year for her story and picture contributions to the sorority's
national magazine.

Published three times a year, The Triangle covered colle-
giate and alumnae activities.

Other individual members received awards as well. Ben-
jamin received the Michael Welsh Scholarship for outstand-
ing academics.

The chapter received the Outstanding Leadership for

Alumnae Advisory Board award, which honored a chapter
with outstanding alumnae involvement in the house and the
community.

Manhattan alumnae did a good job of contributing to the
community and to the chapter, Benjamin said.

Alumnae support helped the women attend the conven-
tion. Five of the women received funding help from the
chapter and alumnae contributions to attend. As president,
Benjamin was sent as the delegate for the chapter.

In addition to competing for awards, members at the
national convention attended several different workshops
dealing with issues from alcohol awareness and hazing to
increasing involvement in the community.

Amy Reed, sisterhood chairwoman and sophomore in
business administration, attended a rush workshop. Ideas
women gained at rush workshops were used with the
chapter's rush workshops to prepare for formal rush.

"It gave us new ideas for rush," she said. "We got ideas
for different activities to do within the community to make
the chapter and the community stronger."

Both Reed and Benjamin said improving the community
and making a difference was important to the sorority.

Michelle Peterie, vice president and senior in biological
and agricultural engineering, said the convention was an
opportunity to unite with chapters from different parts of the
nation.

"It was a unity of sisterhood," Peterie said. "It was a really
neat experience to see the bond of sisterhood all across the
nation."

Other members who attended also said sisterhood was
emphasized during the convention.

"Sometimes, on your own campus, you don't realize how
the national organization supports you as a whole," Reed
said. "Sigma is a national organization, so if you need help,
you know someone in Wisconsin or wherever will be there
to help you."

working as referees allows tkes to

b* i ■ I

me work with

Intramurals became a pastime and a way to pay bills for
Tau Kappa Epsilon fraternity members. In addition to being
active in intramurals, 10 members served as referees at
Chester E. Peters Recreation Complex.

The most popular sports to officiate included flag foot-
ball, volleyball, sof tball and basketball, Matt Weller, junior in
English and journalism education, said.

"It's an easy way to make money, and the people out
there are really nice," Andy Beckman, senior in marketing
and management, said. "A lot of guys in my pledge class
went out there to work."

TKE members made up about 10 percent of the officials
at the Rec Complex, Ron Miller, assistant director of
intramurals, said.

"An ideal situation is we'd have 10 from every frater-
nity," Miller said. "The TKEs and generally three or four
guys from FarmHouse can be counted on for officiating
going into the season."

Most fraternities didn't participate in the officiating side
of intramurals, Miller said.

"I'd guess over half the officials are non-greek, and that
is a big disparity between those playing and those officiat-
ing," Miller said, "especially when the greeks make up most
of the players.

"For example, generally for basketball we need 70 offi-
cials," he said. "If we could have the same number of frater-
nity members officiating as we do playing, we'd have a great
officiating staff."

The number of officiating TKEs helped ease the burden of
finding referees, Miller said.

"If it weren't for those guys, I don't know where I would
be," Miller said. "They are also some of the better officials."

Officiating offered flexible hours, and referees could
choose which sports they wished to oversee, Weller said.

"I mainly do the sports that I know," Andy Didble,
sophomore in business, said. "Those are Softball, soccer,

basketball and flag football. Flag football is the hardest to
learn because of all the rules."

Miller said the Rec Complex found employing officials
for flag football more difficult than other sports because it
was played in the fall and conflicted with many other activi-
ties. Some TKEs favored officiating football over other
sports.

"Flag football is my favorite," Beckman said. "I'm the
most knowledgeable about it. I like being outside, and it's
pretty good weather. It's always been my favorite sport to
play."

Despite the fun referees had, they sometimes had to
handle uncooperative players.

"I've been attacked twice by players who didn't like my
calls, and I have been called names that shouldn't be re-
peated," Beckman said. "Some people don't see it as
intramurals, and they let emotions get in the way."

Other officials didn't have as negative an experience
officiating.

"I've had people who argue quite a bit," Weller said. "The
overall experience has been pretty good. Every once in a
while you get a bad apple, but it's pretty civilized."

Officiating allowed for promotions, Beckman said.

After working as a referee, employees could become
supervisors, where they trained incoming officials instead of
officiating.

"It's kind of something I've always been shooting for,"
Beckman said. "It's kind of the place to be, and you're always
excited about a promotion."

TKE officials helped the intramurals league, and also

the new freshman coming in, we can teach them the rules

theta xi members continue tradition of

academic achievement

Theta Xi's emphasis on grades paid off for one member in
the form of $50,000.

Sam Halabi, senior in political science, won the Marshall
Scholarship, which was awarded to 40 people each year to
study overseas.

"The Marshall Scholarship was established in the 1950s
by the U.S. government for the Marshall Plan, which gave
economic aid after the war, Halabi said. "It is awarded to
people to study for two years at any university in Great
Britain."

Halabi planned to study comparative social research at
Oxford University in London. He said the major would
"cover the way people believe nations should work and
discrimination."

Halabi applied to be a K-State nominee for the scholar-
ship in February and was one of three to be chosen. He later
interviewed for one of the 11 spots in the Midwest region.

"Tim Riemann and I flew to Chicago and interviewed,"
Halabi said. "I guess they thought we were OK guys and
decided to give it to us."

Though he received the news of his award Dec. 1, Halabi
said the idea was still not a reality to him.

"I think I'm still in disbelief," he said. "Until I'm on the
plane to England, it probably won't hit me."

Support and congratulations from fraternity brothers
made the scholarship process easier, Halabi said.

"I'm around some of the most amazing people," he said.
"They helped me with every step of the application process
and were very interested in what I was doing."

One fraternity brother in particular — Andy Macklin,
junior in mechanical engineering — was especially helpful,
Halabi said.

"I think I was most useful to Sam in providing my
opinions and emotional support," Macklin said. "Those type
of applications are extremely stressful for the person apply-
ing. I think it's nice to have someone not directly involved

around to be an outlet."

Halabi was not the only Theta Xi to succeed academi-
cally. The house had accumulated the top grade point aver-
age among K-State fraternities for 16 consecutive semesters,
ranging from a 3.05 to a 3.25. Macklin said the accomplish-
ment defined the fraternity and helped it grow.

"The importance of grades is unsurpassed like nothing
else," he said. "It's an achievement that perpetuates itself. It
helps us to get top-notch members who then get good grades
and keep up the GPA."

Members were not required to have specific study hours,
and Darren Nelson, president and junior in mechanical
engineering, said the house only had one minimum-GPA
stipulation.

"If someone falls below a 2.3 for two semesters, they can't
live in," he said. "We don't really have consequences, just
rewards. People here are just personally responsible for their
grades. It's kind of like an underlying theme, and everyone
takes it seriously."

The emphasis on individual accomplishments carried
over to the entire house, Halabi said.

"What we stress is each individual's desire to succeed,"
he said. "We expect the guys to want to better themselves,
and it provides a real system of support."

Though the fraternity had a history of academic success,
Nelson said Halabi's scholarship was impressive.

"It's neat saying you live with a Marshall Scholar," he
said. "You don't realize the type of guys you live with until
they win something like that. He seems like an ordinary guy,
but he's extraordinary."

Extraordinary people like Halabi made living in the
house a good experience, Macklin said.

"Living in an atmosphere with Marshall Scholars and
people with high GP As is enriching," he said. "You can glean
knowledge and viewpoints from them to apply to your own
life."

fraternity offers scholarships

to recru

New Triangle scholarships provided $500 but did not
entice freshman to join the fraternity.

Roger Stumps, Triangle alumni president, said the Tri-
angle Fraternity Alumni Scholarship unfortunately did not
convince new members to join the fraternity as they had
hoped.

"We were thoroughly disappointed with the number of
responses we got," he said. "Not many applicants applied, so
I feel like it really didn't make an impact on the campus like
we thought it would."

Nick Pedersen, head of the scholarship committee and
senior in electrical engineering, said the selection process
was narrowed to five finalists.

"We personally interviewed the top-five finalists," he
said. "It was a great way to meet top high schoolers who are
coming to K-State who are eligible recruits for the house."

Scholarship finalists had to meet the criteria of possible
Triangle membership and K-State admission, and had to
have high grade point averages. Applicants also had to have
been involved in communitiy and high school activities
before coming to K-State.

Unfortunately, the two winners did not join the house,
Pedersen said.

"One of the reasons we are promoting the scholarship is
to recruit for the house," he said. "Even though the two
winners did not join this year, I think it is a good way to meet
possible members. This year's winners definitely met the
criteria and had a lot of personality."

The two winner's names were not revealed because of a
fraternity member's decision, Pedersen said.

"We decided it wasn't important who the winners are,"
Pedersen said. "What is important is that we are providing
a good and positive way to help out incoming freshman."

The house alumni donated the scholarship money sepa-
rate from the fraternity's original allotment of support,
Pedersen said.

"The money for the scholarship had to be proposed to
the alumni in the form of a separate check," he said. "We
probably won't have the money for a scholarship next year,
so we are proposing to keep the program going for the
following year."

The fraternity hoped the scholarship money would be
used to meet the required needs of the recipients, Damon
Parks, president and junior in hotel and restaurant manage-
ment, said.

"Originally, the money was written for scholarships and
tuition," he said. "But once we found out that the recipients
were for sure coming to K-State, we broke it down into
personal checks."

The alumni were proud to sponsor the scholarship, even
though it did not produce the outcome it was meant for,
Stumps said.

"Anytime we can offer assistance to incoming freshman,
we take advantage of it," he said. "Cost of college is continu-
ally going up, so it helps the recipients, and it helps us
promote the house."

adding leadership and opportunties,

alma form

A new leader emerged on the K-State-Salina campus.

Mariana LeBron, student life coordinator, said the new
Hall Governing Board was beneficial in connecting students
with student government.

"The new Hall Governing Board is creating a lot of
student involvement and leadership positions," she said.
"The constitution was written last spring, so this is the first
official year."

About 200 of the 800 Salina students lived in residence
halls. Nick Smith, HGB president, said the board was created
to meet the needs of these students.

"Our main goal is to satisfy the residents of the halls," he
said. "If the students aren't behind it, then there really isn't
a need."

In preparation for the new HGB, Smith said seven people
attended a student governing retreat in St. Cloud, Minn.,
with the Manhattan campus' student delegation.

"We attended seminars that focused on making resi-
dents' lives better," he said. "I am really glad I didn't miss it.
It taught a lot of valuable leadership skills."

At the end of fall semester, the HGB sponsored a party to

housing

relieve pre-finals stress, Smith said.

"We got together with local Salina businesses and had
them sponsor a gift exchange," he said. "We also had food
and played pool. It was fun."

LeBron said the attendance made the party a success.

"The holiday party had 70 to 80 people who attended,"
she said. "This is a big deal considering only about 200
people live on campus."

Looking to the future, the board intended to increase
financial support and student involvement, Smith said.

"We're looking to do maybe an airplane wash to raise
money this next semester," he said. "Elections are also com-
ing up, and we plan to get as much student participation as
possible. When I was first elected, it started off really heavy,
and we had like 60 to 70 people attending board meetings."

Finding things for students to do on a smaller campus
could be difficult, Roger Steinbrock, assistant director, said.

"This campus is full of engineers, so it's hard to find
something everyone is interested in," he said. "The Hall
Governing Board is really trying to promote activities for
students to get involved, and I think this was much needed."

Some freshmen chose not to live in the
residence halls because they wanted more
room, their own bathrooms and more pri-
vacy. They chose to live with friends or
siblings. These freshmen just wanted to

off CAMPUS

Although it differed from the norm, some
freshmen chose to live off campus with
siblings or friends.

"It's different, but it's good . " Julie Sheerin,
freshman in nursing, said. "You can choose
who you want to meet. I'm very glad I did it. "

Sheerin, who lived with her brother Eric
Sheerin, junior in pre-medicine, said she had
moments of doubt but still enjoyed sharing
an apartment with her brother.

"At first, I thought I should have moved
into the dorms," she said. "My friends were
in the dorms, and I had lived with my brother
all my life. I was like, 'It's time to get out. ' But
now I'm glad I have that little bit of
difference."

Sometimes, the older roommate made
moving away from family and friends easier.

"It was easier being away from home,
and then it was good to have my brother
there at times," Sheerin said. "It's been a
good thing overall."

For Sheerin and Stephanie Settgast,
freshman in agricultural journalism, living
with a sibling was a matter of convenience.

"My sister asked me what I was doing,
and I wasn't sure, so I thought about it,"
Settgast said. "I wouldn't have gone out to
live on my own, but she's willing to help me.
I go to the dorms to visit friends, and they

By Wendy Schantz

have a RA, and I have her."

April Hanna, freshman in horticulture,
said she would have lived in the residence
halls if she hadn't known her roommate,
Stacy Long, sophomore in horticulture.

"I only did it because I knew someone
already out there who wanted me as a
roommate," she said. "But I have more space
to myself. I like not having my roommate so
close."

Hanna decided to live with Long, a co-
worker she met while in high school.

"When I first got here, the only person I
knew was my roommate," she said. "It was
kind of boring, but then we went out more,
and I met more people."

Settgast agreed living off campus made it
hard to meet people, but she said she solved
that problem by talking.

"You just talk to people in classes," she
said. "If you talk long enough, you get to
know each other, and I made some friends
that way."

Settgast also said she knew with a
roommate, there was a chance for personality
clashes, something easy to overcome with
her sister.

"We've always been really good friends, "
she said. "I figured if we got in a fight, it
would be just like at home. We'd get over it."

After leaving K-State in 1 993 to marry, she
thought her goals were changed forever.
But after a divorce, her dreams of becom-
ing a teacher could become reality
when she made the decision to

RETURN

Unemployment and raising a child were
discouragements from pursuing a college
degree, but Connie Briggs, senior in
elementary education, worked to overcome
the odds.

Briggs returned to school in 1996 to work
toward her degree after leaving K-State in
1993 to get married and move to Wichita.
Briggs lived with her 6-year-old, Noah Briggs-
Schmidt, and her fiance, Doug Sellers, in
Jardine Terrace Apartments.

Briggs said being a non-traditional
student affected her schedule.

"It's completely different," Briggs said.
"I used to stay up all night writing papers
and that kind of thing," she said. "And now,
I can't stay up all night. A little boy will wake
me up, 'Mommy, it's time to get up.' "

Deborah Briggs, Connie's mother and
professor in diagnostic medicine
pathobiology, observed Connie's schedule.

"She tries to organize her time so she has
time to study," she said. "She also has a very
dedicated fiance who helps her."

Sellers said making time to be with Briggs
was important.

"We spend the majority of the time
together," he said. "When it comes down to
it, family's more important than anything
else."

By Clint Stephens

Though her schedule was hectic, Briggs
said it made her prioritize.

"I think it's taught me to organize my
time a lot better," she said. "I know that
when I have an hour free, I better study
because I'm not going to get that hour at
nighttime."

Connie said her objectives had changed.

"Let's just say my goal is not to go to bars
every single night," she said. "I think I feel
really old because people in my classes have
to tell me, 'Oh, I drank 10 beers,' and it's like
'Oh, that's an accomplishment?' My social
life is different."

She said she was similar, though, when
she was a traditional student.

"Now I feel like I don't get myself drunk.
The last time I went out, it was really funny
to watch 19-year-old boys getting drunk then
hitting on me," she said. "It's just different.
It's a maturing. I think it's more that I want
to spend quality time with friends."

Connie had dreams about her career, but
that wasn't the only future she thought about.

"I see myself teaching, hopefully, at a
school with unlimited resources, have all the
supplies you want, but that won't happen,"
she said. "I don't think so much about how
I'll be working but how I'll be spending more
time with my family."

He wanted a place to live while in college,
but not just any house would do. With the
help of friends, he constructed plans to
build a house on his own land. The others
answered an advertisement to live in the

HOME

When Bryant Avery looked for a house
during college, he didn't find one he liked.

So he built his own.

"I had wanted to buy one for a long time/'
Avery, senior in marketing, said. "I looked at
several houses and didn't find one that I
wanted to keep for five years or so."

Avery worked on the house, a split-level
with four bedrooms and three bathrooms,
for more than two years.

After buying the lot his j unior year, Avery
hired contractors to start construction. He
said friends volunteered to help, but he did
the majority of the work himself.

"Friends helped with a lot of it and saved
me a bunch of money," Avery said. "They
helped me with whatever I couldn't handle. "

The house was ready to be occupied the
summer before his first senior year, although
he continued to work on the house during
the year. Avery ran advertisements in
newspapers asking for "fun, responsible
people to live in a brand-new house."

"From the past, I don't like living with
friends of mine," he said. "It ends up ruining
friendships."

However, Avery said the people who
moved in, eventually became friends.

Cliff Davis, sophomore in biology and
pre-medicine, moved in his freshman year.

i i

"Bryant is very nice and easy going,"
Davis said. "I think it's the luck of the draw
that our personalities were all compatible."

Ashley Schmidt, senior in j ournalism and
mass communications, and Kara Hight,
senior in accounting, also answered the ad.

"It's worked out really good," Hight said.
"Everyone's been great."

Although the house was completed,
Avery said he was still working on finishing
the driveway, as well as the landscaping.

"It's been a long, drug-out deal," Avery
said. "We've been living there for a year, and
it's still not done."

Avery fixed any plumbing or electrical
problems within the house, but there weren't
many problems, Hight and Davis said.

"Everything's great," Hight said. "It's
almost all brand new. We haven't had any
troubles so far."

Although each roommate had a private
bedroom, the four shared a kitchen, living
room and dining room.

Most of the appliances and furniture in
the house belonged to Avery, and the others
contributed to the house decor, with plants,
furniture and kitchenware.

"Every time I come to this house it feels
more like a home," Davis said. "It's not like
a regular college pad."

When the Friel's left their home for the
Netherlands, four students found them-
selves reaping the benefits of living on a
farm. Unlike others, they were free from

LIMITS

lour students said living two miles outside
Manhattan's city limits felt more like home.

Kevin Henke, junior in agricultural
economics and agricultural journalism, said
he was excited to live outside of town because
he was from a rural community. Henke said
he and three other students were eager to
leave the confines of apartments and move
to a 23-acre farm when the opportunity arose.

"We're actually renting it from a family,
and the wife is in the Army, and she got
stationed overseas for a couple of years,"
Henke said. "They kind of wanted somebody
to look after the house and keep it up. We
heard about it and came out to take a look at
it. We got it for the next couple of years."

Henke said they had more opportunities
than students who lived in Manhattan.

"We have horses down here and a four-
wheeler in the garage, and we can go up and
shoot clay pigeons in the pasture," Henke
said. "We just have more things we can do
that other students might not be able to do."

Jack and Leah Friel, the house owners,
weren't willing to rent their house to just any
students for two years, Brian Shulda, junior
in agricultural economics, said.

"They interviewed us to make sure we
were the right people for it," Shulda said.
"They were kind of particular on who they

By Leslie Elsasser

had. Being out on a farm like this, they
wanted to make sure that most of us were
from ag backgrounds and could handle any
problems that took place around the house
and that their house was in good hands."

Henke moved into the house after classes
ended in May 1998 when the Friels moved to
the Netherlands. The others moved in by
August. Henke said the family didn't set
rules for them but had certain expectations.

"I remember Jack saying before he took
off, any rule as far as the house or what to do
is treat it like you would any other place," he
said. "He goes, This is your guys' place for
a couple of years, but when I get back I
expect it in pretty close the same way.' "

The roommates kept in contact with the
Friels through e-mail but didn't have to write
on any schedule.

"If something breaks, like we had trouble
getting our furnace going, we call our
realtor," Jeff DeFrain, senior in animal science
and industry, said. "He told us to get a hold
of somebody who came out and fixed it."

Adam Lundblade, senior in agronomy,
said he was glad he had the opportunity to
live outside town.

"I was tired of living in apartment
complexes," Lundblade said. "There are
people who would kill to live out here."

OPTIONS

By Maria Johnson & Molly Mersmann

Wanted: roommate to share three bedroom
apartment close to campus, low rent, lots of
room, washer and dryer, call 555-1231.

When looking for a place to live, many
students turned to roommate wanted ads.
Jennifer Maggard, sophomore in
management, said she answered an ad
because it was her only option.

"I needed a place to live, and I couldn't
think of anything else," she said. "I decided
to transfer late, and by then, all of my friends
had apartments, so it was my only option."

Sarah Martin, senior in English who
placed a want ad and answered one, said she
understood why people would be
apprehensive.

"I think a lot of people have
misconceptions of what kind of people they
are going to get if they answer an ad," she
said. "They think they're going to get some
crazy person. In all actuality, it's people like
me and you who need a place to live."

Martin said the time spent waiting for a
roommate was full of anxiety.

"I think one of the hardest parts for me is
the anticipation of the person moving in,"
she said. "Once the person moves in and gets
settled, it's exciting and fun. The hardest part
is the month or week before they move in,
and you're wondering what it is going to be

like. A lot of times, you think it's going to be
worse than it really is."

Living with someone she had briefly met
was uncomfortable at first, Martin said.

"You don't know how the other person
lives or how they are going to react to things,
and you don't know how to talk to each other
or what to say," she said. "It's awkward, but
it's not unlivable."

Sherri Auld, senior in mechanical
engineering, answered a roommate want ad
and agreed the beginning phase was difficult.

"It was kind of odd, like it was all their
stuff, and we were treading on their territory,"
she said.

Maggard said being on an informal basis
with her roommates helped them get along
better than if they had been close friends.

"The thing is, because we aren't all best
friends and hang out together all the time, we
don't know each other well enough to be
rude to one another," she said. "We are all
friends, but not best friends."

Martin said since her previous experience
with roommate want ads turned out well,
she wasn't bothered by placing one.

"It's hard living with friends, and
sometimes it's easier to live with someone
you don't know," Martin said. "Then if there
are hard feelings, it's not going to matter."

Searching for her
glasses, Michelle Lynch,
of Manhattan, kicks
through a large pile of
leaves. She lost them
while having lunch in City
Park Nov. 30. Lynch's
search was unsucessful.
As of 1 p.m. that day, the

were still missing
somewhere on the

Career Opportunities

"Without question. ..an investment banking powerhouse"
Wall Street Journal

"...a worthy contender to rival the American groups
that style themselves as 'global' players" -The Times

In June 1998, Union Bank of Switzerland merged with
Swiss Bank Corporation to create the new UBS AG, among
the top four financial services companies in the world.

The investment banking businesses of both banks came
together to form Warburg Dillon Read* - one of the
world's most significant investment banks.

We operate a true meritocracy. From your first day we'll
expect to see qualities which go beyond the academic.

We want to see the confident communication of complex
ideas and the depth of character required for early
responsibility. We want to know that you can make
things happen.

Having first experienced one of investment banking's
finest education programs, new graduates will choose

from a wide range of career options across international
locations. Further opportunities for development will con-
tinue as your career takes off. But you won't be held back
by bureaucratic structures.

If you think you can make an immediate contribution in a
highly demanding environment, then take this opportunity
to speak with us.

All applications for graduate and internship positions can
be made via our website.

Raytheon

A History of Global Technology Leadership

Raytheon Company
At A Glance

* One of the largest industrial
corporations in the United States

* Focus on three core businesses:

- defense and commercial
electronics (1997 sales -
$15 billion)

- engineering and construction
(1997 sales - $3.1 billion)

- business aviation and special
mission aircraft (1997 sales -
$2.4 billion)

* Over $20.5 billion in revenues

* More than $14 billion in
defense and government
electronics sales

* More than 110,000
employees worldwide

* World-class defense electronics
and systems integration company

* Leading player in key
commercial businesses

* Extensive US and international
operations serving customers

in more than 80 countries
throughout the world

* Strong operational and
financial management

Throughout its 75-year history, the Raytheon Company has
been a leader in developing defense technologies and in
converting those technologies for use in commercial markets.
From its early days as a maker of radio tubes, its adaptation of
World War II radar technology to invent microwave cooking,
and its development of the first guided missiles, Raytheon has
successfully built upon its pioneering tradition to become
a global technology leader. Through strategic acquisitions
and mergers, Raytheon has acquired the resources of
companies with equally distinguished records of innovation.
Breakthroughs include the laser, the Surveyor lunar lander,
high resolution satellite imaging of earth resources and
magnetic anomaly detection services.

Today, Raytheon is focused on three core business segments:
defense and commercial electronics; business aviation and
special mission aircraft; and engineering and construction.
Raytheon is a top-tier player in each of these segments. Each
provides the company with the capabilities it needs to build
on its strength as an innovator and to prosper in a highly
competitive global economy.

Raytheon's $9.5 billion merger with Hughes defense operations
and the creation of Raytheon Systems Company mark an
important milestone in the company's history. Built upon the
combined forces of Raytheon Electronic Systems, Raytheon
E-Systems, Hughes and Texas Instruments' defense operations,
Raytheon Systems Company is now fully equipped to meet the
needs of its customers and employees — not just for today or
tomorrow — but well into the 21st century.

Kansas State University's Royal Purple yearbook, volume 90

Cover/Endsheet

Silver silk screen and purple foil were applied to
the black cover, which had no grain. Fonts were from
the Helvetica family. Pantone 8143 CVC and black
were used on the endsheets, which also used fonts
from the Helvetica family.

Opening/Closing/Divisiort

Fonts were from the Helvetica family. Opening
pages used four-color photos digitally submitted
and enhanced with ultraviolet lamination. Pantone
8143 CVC was used throughout the opening section.

Many fonts were consistent throughout the
book: body copy, 10-point Palatino; captions, 8.5-
point Helvetica; and folios, 14-point Helvetica 95
Black and 12-point Helvetica Compressed.

The Royal Purple was printed by Herff Jones in
Mission, Kan. The 512 pages, including candid pho-
tos, were submitted on disk for a press run of 4,000.

The CD-ROM was converted into PC and
Macintosh formats by Electric Tours, Austin, Texas,
and pressed into 5,000 CD-ROMs. Please see the CD-
-ROM for more information about its production.

Scholastic Advertising Inc. was the exclusive ad
sales representative for the printed yearbook. Ads for
the CD-ROM were sold and produced by the staff.

Shoot Yourself photos in the index were taken by
Blaker Studio Royal at no charge to the students.

Copy for the yearbook was written and edited by
the Royal Purple staff and contributing student writ-
ers. Candid photos were taken by the Student Publi-
cations Inc. photography staff. All pages were pro-
duced on Macintosh computers using Microsoft
Word '98, Adobe Photoshop 5.0 and Adobe
PageMaker 6.5.

The yearbook was distributed in the free-speech
zone on campus April 26-28. The book cost students
$24.95 if purchased before Jan. 1 . At distribution, the
book cost $29.95.

STUDENT LIFE

General Design

These designs used the following fonts:
Helvetica, Helvetica Narrow, Arial Black, Arial and
Utopia.

Special Section Design

These designs used the following fonts:
Helvetica, Gills Sans Bold Condensed and Gills Sans
Condensed. The section also used Pantone 877 CVC.

Section Editor's Note

The student life section is the coolest part of the
'99 RP, but the biggest cause of stress for me this year.
Still, I wouldn't trade the opportunity for anything.
Thanks to everyone on staff and my favorite R2s for
helping me out.

— Maria Johnson, student life editor

These designs used the following fonts:
Trebuchet, AGaramond, Helvetica, Palatino and
Futura Book.

Faculty group photos were taken by Photo-
graphic Services, and departments were charged
$15 per group picture.

I strove to include topics that altered the face of
education, the tools comprising those changes and
topics on the academic horizon while ensuring they
all were of student interest, historic value and accu-
rately reflected the academic world at Kansas State
University.

— Clint Stephens, academics editor

These designs used the following fonts:
Trebuchet and Optima.

Organization group photos were taken by
Blaker Studio Royal, Photographic Services and Stu-
dent Publications Inc. for a charge of $15 per 30
people pictured.

The main focus of the organizations section was
to cover the main events and fund-raisers that
caught the eye of the student body. It was also
important to highlight new groups and profile the
more unusual clubs.

— Amy Pyle, organizations editor

EDITORS' LETTER

As this year came to a close, the idea of living life
outside Kedzie 101 became a welcome alternative to
telling the story of those outside the building. There
have been many stories to tell — from a man return-
ing to school, inspired by a case he took to the
Supreme Court, to students claiming "indestruc-
tible" goal posts after K-State beat Nebraska.

The 1999 Royal Purple began when someone
suggested the word "foreword" during theme dis-
cussion at a summer workshop. Still, none of the
word combinations discussed in the brainstorming
session seemed to fit the year.- About 3 a.m. that
morning, the theme crystallized into fast foreword.
The book would be our foreword to a fast approach-
ing future.

After that, we just had to do the best job we could
recording the year's history while making predic-
tions. But our experiences and the people we met
defined this book more than anything in writing.

In spite of the cramped environment we worked
in, our 15-member staff developed camaraderie.

SPORTS

These designs used the following fonts: Empire
Builder Document, Nu Sans Demo, Futura Book,
Futura Light, Helvetica and Trebuchet.

Team photos were taken by Photographic Ser-

Typical yearbook design and copy is boring. I
wanted to make the sports section look and read like
a magazine because I like magazines.

— Joel White, sports editor

These designs used the following fonts: Optima
and Helvetica.

Individual portraits were taken by Blaker Stu-
dio Royal at no charge to students.

In the housing section, 1 tried to capture stories
that best described life in the residence halls, greek
houses and off-campus. Advice for life: "After all,
tomorrow is another day." (from Margaret
Mitchell's "Gone With the Wind.")

— Shannon Delmez, housing editor

The Royal Purple staff can be reached at
Student Publications Inc., 103 Kedzie
Hall, Kansas State University, Manhattan,
Kan. 66506, (785) 532-6555.

Oddly, it became visible after a day full of meetings
at our fall yearbook retreat when we spent the
evening shooting each other while playing laser tag.

It further developed at social gatherings at our
marketing director's house. The house became the
stage for an RP version of the "Dove Connection"
and gave liquid relief to deadline pressures.

And those pressures seemed endless. Roommates
wondered why they never saw us. We were jealous of
people who slept more than four hours a night.

But the time paid off in a book we are proud of.
After seeing one of our designs, one staff member
kidded, "ESPN needs a copy of our book for design
ideas." Not quite, but for two copy editors running
the show, we're happy.

Fast foreword.

It describes the year and how we feel about this
book. A year of reporting in words and pictures,
designing, and marketing went into the 1999 RP.
Now that it's done, we're not sure where the time
went, but we're happy with the results and hope our
readers are, too.

ment of Horticulture, Forestry and
Recreation Resources' turf man-

schools in the Big 12 Conference
offered the major, putting stu-
dents ahead of their peers.

K-State also worked to com-
ply with Title IX, which required
NCAA schools to have the same
proportion of women on athletic
scholarships to men as women
enrolled to men. The Department
of Intercollegiate Athletics con-
sidered adding women's ar-
