lough  travelers  detoured  from  Kimball  Avenue  during 
football  season,  49,762  Wildcat  fans  piled  into  KSU  Stadium, 
in  support  of  purple  power,  for  the  team's  first  victory  against 
a  ranked,  non- conference  opponent.  Pre -game  atmosphere 
was  lively  as  students  tailgated  and  socialized. 

Amid  physical,  emotional  and  perceptional  changes, 
the  university  maintained  its  core  values  established  with  its 
beginning. 

"We  should  never  forget  those  values,"  Mayor  Ed  Klimek 
said.  "These  are  values  we  respect  and  honor  about  the 
people  of  the  United  States  of  America." 

During  the  Tree  Dedication  Ceremony  Sept.  11,  Klimek 
said  the  American  way  of  life  had  changed  in  a  year.  He  said 
people  in  Manhattan  should  realize  the  values  respected  in 
the  Heartland  -  family,  courtesy  and  friendliness  -  were 
taken  for  granted  here,  but  were  not  always  practiced  in 
other  parts  of  the  country. 

While  dusty  bulldozers,  orange  cones,  barrels  and  fences 
took  over  campus,  the  community  atmosphere  provided  a 
sense  of  pride  and  belonging  for  students  and  faculty.

"It  takes  a  certain  amount  of 

","  Charles  Sanders, 
assistant  professor  of 

history,  said,  "it's  serious  business. 

You  have  to  remember,  it  is  the 

Outdoors,  not  Hale  Library. 

If  you  make  a  mistake  on 
the  Kansas  River,  it'll  cost  you." 


Hidden  Oasis 

continued  from  page  9 

"People  don't  appreciate  the  outdoors  or  think  of  what  you 
can  do,"  Tyler  Wamsley,  freshman  in  construction  science  and 
management,  said.  "Most  people  think  alcohol  has  got  to  be 
involved  to  have  fun." 

Wamsley  and  freshmen  Adam  Schapaugh,  fisheries  and 
wildlife  biology,  and  Troy  Walker,  engineering,  came  to  Rocky 
Ford  to  raft  down  the  small  but  wide  waterfall  located  about 
a  mile  below  Tuttle  Creek  Dam  and  Reservoir. 

"We  live  in  Kansas  and  most  people  think,  well,  it's  flat," 
Schapaugh  said,  "which  is  why  we  make  it  as  exciting  as 
possible." 

Charles  Sanders,  assistant  professor  of  history,  said  he 
believed  students  did  not  get  involved  in  outside  activities 
for  a  number  of  reasons. 

"It  requires  getting  up  off  the  couch  and  leaving 
Aggieville,"  Sanders  said.  "It  also  requires  a  certain  amount 
of  planning.  It  could  be  expensive  if  you  get  out  there  and 
realize  you  forgot  a  sleeping  bag.  But  once  you  do  it,  it's  a  lot 
of  fun  for  not  much  effort." 

With  a  roll  of  duct  tape,  a  $4  air  pump  and  two  $12  pool 
rafts  from  Alco  Discount  Stores,  Schapaugh,  Walker  and 


Wamsley  tested  the  limits  of  the  rafts  and  stayed  within  the 
budget  of  the  typical  college  student. 

"Many  people  don't  know  about  it,  but  they  rent  paddles 
and  all  kinds  of  equipment  at  the  Rec,"  Schaupaugh  said. 

The  Chester  E.  Peters  Recreational  Complex  rented 
outdoor  equipment  such  as  canoes,  tents,  paddles  and  coolers 
to  K- State  students,  employees  and  facilities  members. 

Aside  from  rafting,  Rocky  Ford  also  offered  opportunities 
for  canoeing,  kayaking  and  fishing. 

"A  reasonable  amount  of  college  students  fish  out  there 
because  it's  so  convenient,"  said  James  Dubois,  scout  master 
and  professor  of  interior  architecture.  "It's  only  10  minutes 
from  Manhattan  by  the  time  you  get  your  pole  in  the  water. 
There's  a  range  offish  in  there.  Some  are  good  for  eating  and 
others  are  just  fun  to  fish  for  -  some  will  give  a  good  fight." 

Walker,  Wamsley  and  Schapaugh  agreed  Rocky  Ford  had 
developed  into  a  family  fishing  area  with  plenty  of  activities 
for  anyone. 

"We  don't  have  beaches  and  mountains,  but  you  also  don't 
have  to  fly  to  the  Konza,"  Sanders  said.  "Life's  about  making 
the  best  of  what  you  have."

Eagle  Scout  or  first-timer,  anyone  involved  in 
outdoor  recreational  activities  faced  potential  safety 
hazards. 

Freshmen  Tyler  Wamsley,  construction  science 
and  management,  Adam  Schapaugh,  fisheries  and 
wildlife  biology,  and  Troy  Walker,  engineering,  all 
Eagle  Scouts  of  Troop  74,  applied  their  knowledge 
of  Ihe  importance  of  safety  to  their  outings. 

Wearing  life  vests,  bicycle  helmets  and  carrying 
a  long  rope  for  possible  emergency  use,  the  three 
friends  said  they  never  went  out  alone  and  tried  to 
always  observe  safety  rules. 

"You  have  to  be  careful  when  there's  too  much 
water,"  Schapaugh  said.  "Undercurrents  can  be 
dangerous."

WEAR  AND  TEAR  took  its  toll  on  Memorial  Stadium  s  field. 

Its  condition  had  become  so  poor  that  even  the  rock 
climbing  club  was  banned  from  climbing  the  outside  walls. 

The  football  team  had  long  since  moved  from  the  old 
stadium,  club  sports  began  weighing  other  playing  field 
options  and  the  K- State  Marching  Band's  use  of  the  facility 
all  depended  on  mother  nature. 

Plans  for  artificial  turf  on  the  field  began  four  years  ago 
and  ended  when  the  new  field  and  track  reopened  Sept.  9, 
Mark  Taussig,  university  landscape  architect,  said. 

"I  kept  throwing  out  the  idea  that  if  we  put  in  artificial 
grass,  we  can  play  on  it  24/7,"  Taussig  said.  "You  put  natural 
grass  in  there,  and  you're  only  going  to  get  on  there  a  couple 
of  times  a  week  if  you  want  to  use  it  as  a  game  field  where 
there  is  good  grass  on  it  for  a  game." 

The  installed  turf  expanded  the  playing  area  for 
regulation-size  soccer,  lacrosse  and  rugby  games. 

"This  is  the  closest  thing  to  a  pro  stadium  we'll  get  to 
play  in,"  said  Jim  Compton,  soccer  club  member  and  senior 
in  secondary  education.  "Compared  to  Arrowhead  or  some 
other  professional  stadiums,  this  field  is  pretty  close." 

The  new  field  provided  clubs  with  a  home  arena  on 
campus,  helped  in  recruitment  for  opposing  teams  to 
compete  here  and  extended  playing  and  practice  time  with 
the  addition  of  eight  1,500 -watt  metal  halide  floodlights. 

Individual  students  had  the  opportunity  to  use  the  new 
rubberized  track  circling  the  playing  field. 

"I  like  to  run  outside  a  lot  more  than  I  do  on  a  treadmill," 
said  Holly  Cribbs,  sophomore  in  family  and  consumer 
education.  "It's  just  really  pretty  out  here  and  it's  a  good 
place  to  come  and  run  with  your  friends  or  even  just  by 
yourself.  It's  a  good  place  to  run  because  there's  lights  and 
there's  other  people  here." 

With  the  renovations,  the  nearly  forgotten,  79 -year- old 
field  at  Memorial  Stadium  was  reborn,  Taussig  said. 

"Part  of  school  is  learning  and  the  other  part  is  your 
extracurricular  activities,"  he  said.  "(The  stadium)  is  an 
important  part  of  that  extracurricular.  Every  time  I  go  by 
there,  there  are  kids  out  there  or  people  in  the  community 
out  running  around  the  track.  This  has  a  new  lease  on  life."

Friends,  food,  purple 
make  tailgating  a 
popular  activity  before 
football  games 

by  Kristen  Day  &  Matt  Gorney 

OUTSIDE  KSU  STADIUM,  the  smell  of  hamburgers  on 
an  open  grill  wafted  through  the  sea  of  recreational  vehicles. 
A  football  bounced  off  the  pavement  almost  clipping  a 
pedestrian.  Grabbing  the  ball,  a  child  passed  it  back  to  his 
grandfather  as  pre -game  tailgating  shifted  into  high  gear.  Fans 
came  for  quality  tailgating  time  as  much  as  the  game. 

Kelly  Sheik,  freshman  in  open -option,  and  her  family  had 
been  tailgating  for  34  years.  Arriving  at  the  stadium  hours 
before  game  time,  they  pulled  their  Chevy  Suburban  into  spot 
513  —  the  same  spot  they  had  filled  since  1968. 

"My  grandpa  bought  that  spot  right  after  the  stadium  was 
built,"  Sheik  said.  "Our  family  has  had  it  ever  since." 

Wildcat  fans  participated  in  cookout  festivities. 
Conversation  ranged  from  personal  lives  to  a  bad  referee  call 
at  a  previous  game. 

Pre-game  activities  soared  when  fans  knew  the  game 
would  be  televised.  Extreme  fans  showed  off  artistic  ability 
by  painting  bellies  and  faces. 

They  arrived  three  hours  early  to  get  front  row  seats  at 
the  K- State  versus  USC  game,  Sept.  21.  While  waiting,  seven 
friends  painted  "KSU  loves  TBS"  on  their  stomachs.  On  their 
backs,  players'  names  and  numbers  mocked  jerseys. 

Mike  Edwards,  freshman  in  open-option,  stood  as  the 
middleman  with  the  heart  drawn  on  his  stomach. 

"Every  time  we  turned  around  the  camera  guy  was  in  our 
faces,"  Edwards  said.  "My  dad  said  he  saw  us  on  TV  and  we 
were  on  the  lumboTron  a  lot." 

A  field  northeast  of  the  stadium  provided  an  area  for

greeks,  among  others,  to  tailgate. 

Ben  Davis,  freshman  in  civil  engineering,  said 
tailgating  pumped  him  up  for  the  game. 

Fans  filled  the  stadium  to  capacity  at  opening 
kickoff.  Supporters  screamed  as  shaking  keys  and 
pompons  added  to  the  atmosphere.  The  clock  counted 
down  to  the  start  of  the  game.  For  the  next  four  quarters, 
fans  got  what  they  came  for:  a  Wildcat  victory. 

As  the  game  ended,  lines  of  people  swarmed  out  of 
the  field  and  traffic  jammed  the  streets. 

"After  the  games,  we  didn't  want  to  leave  early 
because  of  the  traffic,"  Sheik  said.  "So  we  played  some 
more  catch  and  tried  to  get  rid  of  all  the  food."

Three  women  become 
models,  pose  nude  in 

Playboy  magazine 

by  Lindsay  Porter 

ADVERTISEMENTS  STARTED  APPEARING  in  the 
Collegian  in  early  April  for  Playboy  magazine  models.  More 
than  50  female  students  responded. 

Playboy  Photo  Team  representatives  interviewed  women 
at  the  Ramada  Plaza  Hotel  April  30  and  May  1.  Candidates 
needed  to  show  proof  of  K- State  enrollment,  a  valid  driver's 
license  and  complete  a  questionnaire. 

After  the  interview  Sarah  Vollmer,  sophomore  in  business, 
said  she  was  told  Playboy  representatives  would  call  to 
schedule  a  photo  shoot. 

"When  I  was  basically  told  that  I  had  been  chosen  right 
then  and  there,  I  didn't  believe  it  until  I  was  called  for 
confirmation  of  the  shoot  date,"  she  said.  "My  photo  shoot 
was  the  last  on  the  whole  tour  for  the  Big  12,  on  May  4." 

Two  other  K- State  women  were  chosen  for  the  project. 
Vollmer,  Tristyn  Rutledge,  sophomore  in  open -option,  and 
Shauna  Cushman,  senior  in  communication  sciences  and 
disorders,  all  opted  to  pose  fully  nude. 

"Imagine  yourself  being  dolled  up  for  the  camera," 
Vollmer  said.  "Your  wardrobe,  consisting  of  enough  material 
to  barely  clothe  an  infant,  is  presented  and  you  dress  in  front  of 
these  strangers  who  go  about  business  as  usual.  Then  a  topless 
man  with  a  hairy  chest  and  bunny  ears  (photographer  David 
Rams)  says,  Are  you  ready?'  and  proceeds  to  make  you  feel  like 
the  sexiest  woman  on  earth.  I  was  loving  every  minute." 

The  October  issue  featured  50  women  in  the  25th  edition 
of  the  "Girls  of  the  Big  12."  K- State  models  visited  two  Dara's 
Fast  Lane  stations  and  Rusty's  Last  Chance  Restaurant  and 
Saloon  Aug.  29  to  sign  autographs. 

Dave  Debes,  junior  in  civil  engineering  and  Playboy 
subscriber,  waited  outside  Dara's  on  Fort  Riley  Boulevard 
with  more  than  20  men  to  have  his  copy  signed. 

"It's  a  once  in  a  lifetime  opportunity,"  he  said.  "It's  worth 
waiting  in  line  for." 

After  the  publication's  release,  Vollmer  said  people  had 
presumed  she  was  promiscuous,  easy,  stupid  and  lacking  in 
personality. 

"I  get  a  lot  of  static  over  degrading  myself  and  other  women 
by  allowing  nude  photos  of  me  to  be  ogled  by  men,"  she  said. 
"Out  of  millions  of  women,  I  have  been  chosen  to  be  published 
in  a  national  magazine  that  has  a  readership  of  over  15  million 
people  a  month,  but  I  can't  properly  enjoy  it  without  someone 
making  preconceptions  about  me.  Playboy  is  a  liberal  icon.  I 
am  proud  to  associate  myself  with  them."

Big;  tykes 
little  trikes 

by  Lindsey  Thorpe 

ROARING  ENGINES  resonated  in  ears  of  the  cheering 
crowd.  Tires  squealed  as  the  smell  of  burned  rubber  lingered 
in  the  air. 

It  wasn't  quite  NASCAR  but  May  15,  Rusty 's  Outback  and 
Rusty's  Last  Chance  Restaurant  and  Saloon  transformed  into 
a  small-scale  National  Hot  Rod  Association  racetrack. 

Using  rotating  rubber  pedals  for  acceleration  and  chrome 
handlebars  for  steering,  volunteer  drivers,  hoping  to  win 
NHRA  drag  racing  tickets,  raced  Radio  Flyer  tricycles  with 
Budweiser  decals. 

The  rules:  go  fast,  stay  in  the  lane  and  play  fair.  For  safety 
reasons,  intoxicated  drivers  were  not  allowed  to  participate. 

"We're  here  to  promote  safe  drinking  and  let  everyone 
know  why  we  think  our  product  is  number  one,"  Scott  Schon, 
Budweiser  on -premise  sales  manager,  said.  "We  want  to  bring 
young  people  together  to  have  a  good,  safe  time. 

"We  figured  what  better  way  than  to  simulate  a  race. 
There's  nothing  funnier  than  a  250-pound  man  on  a  12-inch 
tricycle." 

The  weight  of  the  contestants,  however,  proved  to  be  too 
much  for  the  tricycles,  causing  complications. 

"The  handles  turned,  but  the  wheel  didn't,"  Schon  said 
after  a  contestant  collided  into  a  picnic  table.  "That's  what 
happens  when  you  have  big  guys  on  little  tricycles." 

Kip  Etter,  Rusty's  bartender,  helped  Schon  tighten  and 
straighten  the  two  broken  tricycles. 

While  waiting  for  the  tricycles  to  be  repaired,  Budweiser 
girls  roamed  the  bar  recruiting  willing  drivers. 

The  races  were  organized  in  a  bracket,  single-elimina- 
tion style.  Whoever  crossed  the  finish  line  first  went  on  to 
the  next  round. 

Some  participants  raced  for  the  tickets  while  others  said 
they  just  wanted  a  shot  at  racing  a  tricycle. 

Every  contestant  walked  away  with  a  Kenny  Bernstein  key 
chain.  The  top  three  racers,  Kelly  Katz,  senior  in  elementary 
education;  Scott  Feldkamp,  junior  in  secondary  education 
and  Kevin  Zimmerman,  senior  in  architectural  engineering, 
received  a  pair  of  tickets  to  the  NHRA  drag  races  in  Topeka.

KSDB  spent  more  than  $140,000 
to  open  a  state-of-the-art 
studio  in  the  Union  with  new 
equipment,  greater  student 
accessibility,  station  pride 

by  Matt  Gorney 

AFTER  WORKING  three  years  to  move  into  the  K- State 
Student  Union,  KSDB-FM  91.9  began  broadcating  from  a 
first-floor  studio  in  the  Union  July  1. 

The  new  facility  caused  a  resurgence  in  pride  for  station 
personnel,  Candy  Walton,  station  manager,  said. 

"It  is  a  store-front  studio.  It  gives  the  students  an 
opportunity  to  interact  with  the  DJs,"  she  said.  "I  am  just 
really  happy  we  achieved  what  we  did.  A  more  professional 
feel  comes  from  being  watched  through  the  glass." 

Andrea  Hufford,  senior  in  psychology,  started  working  at 
the  station  her  freshman  year  and  agreed  with  Walton. 

"I  think  our  area  and  atmosphere  is  very  receptive  to  the 
station,"  Hufford  said.  "It  puts  it  in  the  public  more." 

Walton  said  the  station's  improved  accessibility  was 
one  of  its  greatest  benefits  because  the  studio  was  seldom 
visited  where  it  was  located  on  the  top  floor  of  McCain 
Auditorium. 

Personnel  offices  remained  in  McCain  after  the  studio  in 
the  Union  opened. 

"It  kind  of  sucks  still  having  my  office  over  in  McCain," 
said  Eric  Hoopingarner,  music  director  and  junior  in  social 
science.  "If  I  want  anything  in  my  office,  I  have  to  walk  to 
McCain." 

The  station  received  more  than  $140,000  from  the  Union, 
Student  Governing  Association,  and  the  A.Q.  Miller  School 
of  Journalism  and  Mass  Communications. 

The  funds  provided  office  equipment,  studio  accessories 
and  construction  and  architect  fees. 

"We  got  all  of  the  equipment  we  wanted,  we  just  didn't 
get  quite  as  nice  as  I  wanted,"  Hoopingarner  said.  "It's  nice, 
but  it's  not  like  top  of  the  line.  It's  like  mid  line." 

Although  the  equipment  may  not  have  been  top  of  the  line, 
it  was  considered  better  than  the  old,  Hufford  said. 

"DJs  are  more  likely  to  take  their  job  seriously  because 
of  the  newer,  better  equipment,"  she  said.  "They  feel  more 
respected." 

Walton  said  the  move  to  the  Union  was  a  product  of  efforts 
from  the  students  at  KSDB. 

"Students  eventually  win  the  day,"  she  said.  "It  may  take 
awhile,  but  students  eventually  get  things  done."

numbers 


more  seniors  create  larger  classes,  longer  ceremony 

by  Michelle  Wilmes 

WITH  655  GRADUATES,  the  College  of  Arts  and  Sciences 
boasted  its  largest  class  in  K- State  history. 

Stephen  White,  interim  dean  of  the  college,  said  270  more 
students  received  their  diploma  in  May  2002  than  2001. 

A  rise  in  the  number  of  students  invariably  put  pressure 
on  seniors  to  enroll  in  all  of  the  required  courses.  White  said 
transfer  students  and  underclassmen  often  had  trouble  fitting 
in  prerequisite  courses  because  seniors  were  still  signed  up 
for  them. 

"Classes  are  to  be  capped  at  around  30  students,  depending 
on  the  class,"  White  said.  "Most  of  the  time,  however, 
professors  allow  about  a  half  dozen  more  to  enroll  in  their 
classes  to  help  the  students  out  with  graduating  on  time." 

According  to  the  Office  of  the  Registrar,  the  Department 
of  Biology  and  the  A.Q.  Miller  School  of  Journalism  and  Mass 
Communications  have  been  the  two  largest  departments  in 
the  College  of  Arts  and  Sciences  in  recent  years. 

"Because  of  the  requirement  of  taking  a  life  science  in  the 
College  of  Arts  and  Sciences,  there  have  been  some  increases 
in  the  size  of  the  class,"  Pat  Hook,  biology  instructor,  said. 
"The  students  aren't  necessarily  the  ones  who  have  a  problem 
with  the  class  size,  though.  Often  parents  are  more  concerned 
than  the  kids  are." 

Pat  Bosco,  dean  of  student  life,  said  as  long  as  freshmen 
and  transfer  students  continue  enrolling,  there  would  be 
growth  in  the  number  of  graduates.  To  accommodate  those 
numbers,  the  university  featured  six  graduation  ceremonies 
in  addition  to  the  College  of  Arts  and  Sciences. 

"It  is  important  that  K- State  continue  to  emphasize  classy 
graduation  programs  because  it's  a  tremendous  achievement 
to  finish  at  our  school,"  Bosco  said.  "The  graduates  do  not 
do  it  alone.  Parents,  friends,  family,  spouses,  children, 
grandparents  and  so  many  others,  including  many  members 
of  the  K- State  family,  have  helped."

candidate's  attempts  to  educate  students  about  voting  have  mixed  respons 


MASSIVE,  BRIGHTLY  COLORED  BILLBOARDS  and 
signs  decorated  Manhattan  lawns  and  store-fronts  during  the 
fall  campaigning  season.  Even  with  their  smiling  faces  and 
catchy  slogans,  candidates  struggled  to  lure  K- State  students 
to  voting  booths. 

Tom  Hawk,  candidate  for  the  Kansas  House  of 
Representatives,  said  running  a  political  campaign 
involving  students  was  part  education,  part  entertainment 
and  part  persuasion.  Hawk  attempted  to  spark  students' 
interest  in  voting  by  passing  out  fliers,  organizing  a  concert 
featuring  local  bands  and  helping  college  students  register  to 
vote.  Students  involved  in  Hawk's  campaign  set  up  a  voter 
registration  table  and  answered  questions  about  voting  and 
Hawk's  campaign. 

"I  think  students  are  confused  because  they  don't  know 
where  to  vote  or  if  they  can  vote  in  this  district,  even  if  they 
aren't  from  Manhattan,"  Hawk  said.  "Overall,  students  think 
they  don't  matter  and  their  opinions  aren't  important." 

Falling  in  the  lowest  voting  bracket,  32.3  percent  of  18  to 
24 -year- olds  voted  in  the  2000  national  election. 

"I  believe  voting  is  very  important,"  said  Keisha  Clark, 
junior  in  political  science  and  psychology.  "People  can't 
complain  about  the  results  of  elections  if  they  don't  vote." 

According  to  the  U.S.  Census  Bureau,  college  students 
continued  to  make  up  the  largest  age  group  of  non-voters.

"You  can't  force  it  (voting)  on  college  students,"  Spencer 
Stelljes,  senior  in  political  science,  said.  "  Everyone  has  their 
own  opinions  about  voting." 

For  some  students,  platform  issues,  such  as  taxes  and  social 
security,  weren't  of  much  interest. 

"Most  students  are  still  dependents,"  Stelljes  said.  "We 
don't  necessarily  see  anything  coming  back  to  us." 

For  a  majority  of  students,  voting  was  not  a  top  priority 
on  Nov.  5. 

"I  don't  think  my  vote  matters  in  the  election,"  Liz  Van 
Zant,  freshman  in  business  administration,  said.  "Politics 
confuse  me,  so  I  don't  take  much  interest  in  them." 

In  an  effort  to  get  more  students  to  vote,  the  Student 
Government  Association  hosted  "Cat's  Challenge,"  a 
competition  against  the  University  of  Kansas.  The  goal  of 
the  competition  was  to  get  the  most  students  and  residents  to 
vote  during  their  respective  football  games  Oct.  12. 

Once  the  results  were  tallied,  the  losing  school's  SGA 
members  had  to  wear  the  opposing  school's  colors  at  the 
Nov.  2  K-  State  vs.  KU  football  game. 

College  students  have  valuable  opinions  they  should 
share  by  voting  and  getting  involved  in  political  campaigns, 
Hawk  said. 

"Young  people  have  faith  and  confidence  in  the  future," 
Hawk  said.  "They  should  be  taken  seriously."

—  Stand  up  and  stretch. 
Sit  up  and  stretch  if  you

is  too  public,  quietly 
tense-hold-release  your

SUNDAY  NIGHT,  11  p.m.  Your  heart  pounds  heavily 
against  your  chest.  Your  muscles  ache  from  tension  and 
a  massive  headache  pounds  as  you  try  to  study  for  a  final 
exam.  Your  significant  other  just  broke  up  with  you  and 
your  roommates  are  pissed  off  at  you  for  something.  Life  is  a 
mess  and  you  feel  you  can't  take  it  anymore. 

Now  what? 

University  Counseling  Services  was  designed  to  help  students 
deal  with  everyday  issues.  Stress  and  anxiety  problems  made  up 
68  percent  of  reported  cases  at  Counseling  Services. 

"College  is  stressful  for  students  because  it  is  hard  to  balance 
academics,  activities  and  relationships,"  Collin  Curry,  freshman 
in  environmental  design,  said.  "Relationships  are  hard  to 
maintain  in  college  because  there  are  many  distractions  and  so 
many  different  kinds  of  people  that  you  might  be  interested  in." 

Of  the  students  who  used  Counseling  Services,  62 
percent  reported  a  conflict  in  their  relationships  with 
families,  friends  or  their  partner. 

"College  is  stressful  because  you're  really  busy  with 
school  and  involved  with  clubs  and  work,"  Kristen  Ball, 
graduate  student  in  accounting,  said. 

Due  to  the  strains  of  learning  how  to  balance  academics, 
relationships  and  other  college  activities,  Counseling  Services 
designed  an  interactive  Web  site  for  students.  The  Learning 
Enhancement  Assessment  Program  provided  information 
about  time  management,  test-taking  strategies  and  other 
topics  that  decrease  stress  levels. 

"What  we  do  is  real  helpful  to  students,"  Fred  Newton, 
director  for  Counseling  Services,  said.  "Our  bottom  line  is 
we  want  students  to  be  successful." 

Counseling  Services  was  also  involved  in  classroom  education. 

"College  is  a  time  to  figure  out  what  you  want  to  do," 
Alex  Cohen,  career  and  life  planning  instructor,  said.  "For 
the  most  part  it's  getting  to  know  about  yourself  and  getting 
information  to  make  decisions." 

Thirty- three  career  and  life  planning  courses  were  taught 
to  provide  help  in  improving  academic  and  personal  skills. 

"I  found  out  a  lot  about  myself  that  I  didn't  realize," 
Jennifer  Myers,  sophomore  in  business  administration,  said. 
"It  helped  me  figure  out  my  values  and  what  I  want  to  do."

"We're  all  in  this  together,"  Mayor  Ed  Klimek  said.  "As  a  small  town, 
university  or  the  world;  we  all  share  memories.  The  American  flag  is 


raised  on  almost  every  block  in  the  community.  Nations  have  joined 
together*  America  is  stronger  than  ever.  Patriotism  is  standing  tall." 


"It  helped  us  all,  with  the  discussions  of  the  stuff  we 

are  learning  at  school/'  Travis  Weigel,  senior  in  policital 

science,  said.  "For  the  engineering  students,  they  talked 

about  withstanding  what  is  no  longer  imagineable.  Why 

the  towers  didn't  withstand  the  impact. 

"Political  science  majors  are  more  aware  of  patriotic 

acts  and  how  it  has  affected  certain  rights  and  the 

possible  repercussions  of  it  -  what  could  happen  with 

certain  policies. 

"Social  service  majors  apply  it  to  real-life  crises.  It's 

another  thing  to  use  to  learn  about."

different  meaning  for  individuals  around  the  world. 

For  three  K- State  students,  commemorating  the  one- 
year  anniversary  of  Sept.  11  meant  their  original  percep- 
tions would  be  altered.  The  changes  in  thought  came 
as  a  result  of  attending  the  15th  Annual  Eddie  Adams 
Barnstorm  Workshop  for  collegiate  photojournalists  in 
Jeffersonville,  N.Y. 

"You're  rubbing  shoulders  with  people  who  saw  it  first 
hand,"  said  Evan  Semon,  junior  in  journalism  and  mass 
communications.  "You  can  hear  stories,  you  can  read 
Time  magazine  and  you  can  watch  it  on  TV,  but  it's  not  like 
being  there." 

Karen  Mikols  and  Kelly  Glasscock,  seniors  in  journal- 
ism and  mass  communications  joined  Semon  as  three  of 
the  100  photojournalists  attending  the  workshop,  Sept. 
9-12. 

Of  the  10  teams  at  the  workshop,  Mikols  and  Glasscock 
were  assigned  to  the  sports  life  team.  Semon's  team  cov- 
ered Coney  Island. 

"Before  we  knew  what  we  were  doing  and  what  our 
assignments  really  were,  I  think  a  lot  of  people  expected 
us  to  be  in  these  mobs  of  emotional  people,"  Mikols  said. 
"I  didn't  really  want  to  be  doing  that  because  that's  really 
hard  for  people.  It  can  be  emotionally  draining  for  me,  too. 
It's  difficult  to  be  in  a  situation  where  people  are  grieving 
in  such  a  way.  I  was  excited  to  go  but  I  was  also  hoping  that 
I  wouldn't  be  in  a  situation  where  they  weren't  wanting  me 
to  be  there." 

Mikols  spent  Sept.  11  in  the  Bronx  covering  a  Yankees 
game  and  Glasscock  was  in  Central  Park  covering  people 
playing  sports.  The  leader  of  Semon's  group  had  different 
plans  for  his  team  that  day. 


and  that  we  should  go  where  we  want  to,"  Semon  said.  "Not 
everyone  went  to  ground  zero  but  I  went  because  I  knew  I 
would  kick  myself  in  the  ass  if  I  didn't  go.  How  could  you 
not  go  on  such  a  historic  day?" 

The  day  brought  introspection  for  Glasscock,  he  said. 

"It  was  emotional  enough  just  being  there  that  one 
day,"  Glasscock  said.  "I  couldn't  imagine  living  there  and 
living  with  that  every  single  day.  I  was  walking  down  the 
street  and  I  was  thinking  to  myself  about  the  actual  day  of 
Sept.ll,  2001  and  what  people  were  going  through  -  being 
right  there,  being  in  Manhattan  -  being  evacuated  off  this 
island  not  knowing  what  was  going  on  and  hearing  sirens, 
seeing  all  this  smoke.  It  was  hectic  enough  for  me  being 
there  on  a  normal  New  York  City  day,  I  could  not  imagine 
what  it  was  like  Sept.  11  -  during  the  attacks  -  that  morn- 
ing and  throughout  that  day. 

"Then  I  think  about  it  as  a  photographer.  Would  I  be 
able  to  pick  up  my  cameras  and  walk  against  the  flow  of 
traffic  coming  across  the  bridges  to  shoot  this  horrific 
scene  of  towers  in  smoke  and  New  York  City  filled  with 
ash?  I  don't  know  if  I  would  have  been  able  to  make  it  in 
there  and  do  some  of  the

Sept.  1 1  Anniversary    33 


of  the  University 


With  contributing  factors  from  all  sides  of 
campus,  K-State  experienced  one  of  its  most 
innovative  years  in  recent  history. 

Some  of  these  distinctions  were  shown  for  the  first  time 
in  2003,  while  others  were  improvements  and  reflections 
on  the  university's  foundations. 

More  than  $100  million  was  spent  on  technological 
advancement  and  construction  projects  through  univer- 
sity and  public  funding  to  enhance  the  attractiveness  of 
campus. 

Coping  with  a  $9.3-million  university  budget  cut, 
classes  were  combined  and  faculty  positions  closed,  but 
the  strength  of  the  educational  programming  was  not 
affected,  said  Dean  Terry  King,  College  of  Engineering. 

That  strength  was  evident  in  the  student  achievements, 
which  were  a  direct  reflection  of  the  excellence,  expertise 
and  dedication  of  K-State  faculty,  President  Jon  Wefald 
said.

SCENES 


Rich  in  history  and  known  for  their 
architectural  characteristics,  campus 
buildings  served  students  and 
visitors  in  specific  ways.  Some  were 
appreciated  for  their  historic  value, 
p     while  others  became  recognized  as 
\JL       symbols  of  K-State  progress.

Ahearn  Field  House 

Built  in  1951,  Ahearn  was 
named  in  honor  of  Michael  F. 
Ahearn,  former  K- State  professor, 
coach,  head  of  the  Department  of 
Physical  Education  and  athletics 
director.  It  was  built  to  improve 
facilities  for  basketball  and  indoor 
track  events. 

"It  cost  $1.65  million  to  build," 
Mark  Taussig,  university  architect, 
said.  "It  was  the  first  building  to  be 
completed  under  President  James 
McCain." 

Once  the  basketball  games 
were  moved  to  Bramlage  in  1988, 
the  building  was  redesigned  for 
volleyball,  track,  tennis  and  vari- 
ous other  indoor  activities.  Ahearn 
has  a  capacity  for  11,700  fans. 

All  Faiths  Chapel 

Located  on  Vattier  Street,  All 
Faiths  Chapel  was  dedicated  as  a 
memorial  to  the  K- State  men  who 
sacrificed  their  lives  in  World  War 
II  and  the  Korean  War. 

Exceptional  care  was  taken  in 
the  design  of  the  chapel  to  achieve 
proper  acoustical  balance  for  solo 
instruments  and  string  quartets 
while  assuring  sufficient  resonance 
for  organ  music.  Featured  in  the 
chapel  was  a  40  -  rank  pipe,  installed 
in  1961. 

With  seating  available  for  465, 
the  chapel  was  used  for  everything 
from  weddings  and  memorials  to 
music  classes  and  concerts. 


INTERNATIONALLY 
KNOWN  SCULPTOR  Patrick 
Dougherty  created  an 
on-site  sculpture  Oct.  21 
to  Nov.  8  at  the  Marianna 
Kistler  Beach  Museum  of 
Art.  Visiting  cities  around 
the  world,  he  built  organic 
sculptures  using  saplings, 
willow  branches  and  limbs 
found  in  local  surround- 
ings. "The  sculpture  will 
be  up  about  18  months  to 
two  years,"  Lindsay  Smith, 
exhibition  designer,  said. 
"The  museum  will  take  it 
down  when  it  no  longer 
looks  good."  —  Photo  by

Anderson  Hall 

Built  from  1879  to  1884,  the 
Practical  Agriculture  Building 
contained  a  canteen,  barbershop, 
chapel  and  college  library. 

Anderson  Hall  became  the  offi- 
cial name  of  the  building  in  1902 
when  named  for  John  Alexander 
Anderson,  the  second  president  of 
Kansas  State  Agricultural  College. 

Today,  the  building  houses 
offices  for  student  services  such  as 
academic  services,  admissions,  the 
budget  office  and  the  Office  of  the 
Registrar,  as  well  as  administrative 
offices. 

Butterfly  Conservatory 

Home  to  hundreds  of  native 
butterflies,  the  colorful  insects 
could  be  seen  fluttering  near  the 
Butterfly  House.  The  garden  was 
dedicated  Sept.  21,  but  the  official 
opening  and  dedication  of  the 
exhibit  was  Oct.  8,  1999. 

Lee  Creek  Gardens,  a  sponsor 
of  the  garden,  has  supplied  annual 
flowers  each  year  to  complement  the 
perennial  plants,  which  attracted 
butterflies.  Searching  for  nectar 
among  the  flowers,  the  butterflies 
were  free  to  fly  among  visitors. 

Marianna  Kistler  Beach 
Museum  of  Art 

Housing  creations  by  famous 
artists,  the  Beach  art  museum  was 
located  on  the  southeast  corner  of 
campus. 

The  $2-million  museum, 
named  after  a  K-State  alumna, 
opened  Oct.  13,  1996.  Since  then, 
more  than  4,000  works  of  art  have 
been  showcased  through  permanent 
displays,  while  traveling  pieces  were 
displayed  for  variety. 

An  exhibit  by  artist  Tony  Fitz- 
patrick  was  on  display  from  Oct.  1 
to  Dec.  15.  The  four- color  etchings 
of  Max  and  Gaby's  Alphabet,  was 
named  after  his  two  children  and 
included  a  print  for  each  letter  of 
the  alphabet. 

Power  Plant 

Generating  light,  heat  and 
power  for  the  campus,  the  Power 
Plant  was  as  an  essential  part  of

K- State.  Costing  $150,000  in  1927 
and  an  additional  $165,000  in  1928, 
the  building  replaced  an  1882  power 
house  that  was  located  in  the  shop 
area  north  of  Seaton  Hall. 

Standing  tall  above  the  campus 
was  the  lone  smokestack. 

The  Power  Plant  had  a  total 
of  seven  boilers,  two  no  longer  in 
operation,  that  created  steam  for 
the  plant.  A  portion  of  the  steam 
that  went  out  of  the  compound 
came  back  as  water  to  the  Power 
Plant,  allowing  for  partial  recy- 
cling, Delvin  Winfough,  electronic 
control  center  technician,  said. 

The  Power  Plant  did  not  supply 
all  the  energy  for  the  campus,  and 
also  used  substations  and  energy 
from  Westar  Energy. 

President's  Residence 

Simply  known  as  Wefald's 
house,  the  $29,391  home  built  in 
1923,  was  located  at  100  Wilson 
Court. 

Looking  at  the  outside,  one  saw 
characteristics  of  a  country  French 
house,  with  ivory  stone  walls  and 
a  steep  roof.  People  were  drawn  to 
the  native  limestone  that  harmo- 
nized the  house  with  the  rest  of  the 
campus,  Ruth  Ann  Wefald  said. 

"The  thing  I  love  is  that  the 
house  was  built  in  1923  and  it  stands 
the  test  of  time,"  she  said.  "It  really  is 
just  like  a  timeless  building.  I  think 
that  is  one  of  its  unique  features." 

The  house  was  remodeled  in 
1997  to  upgrade  equipment  and 
to  expand  the  kitchen  and  add  a 
garage.

Regression 


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

College  of  Agriculture 

Counting  $493,000  in  teach- 
ing operations  and  more  than  $4.5 
million  in  research  and  extension, 
agriculture  lost  6.64  percent  of 
expenses  after  its  tuition  allow- 
ance. 

Dean  Marc  Johnson  said  there 
was  no  operating  money  after 
internal  allocations,  so  the  college 
recovered  the  deficit  by  perma- 
nently closing  six  vacant  teaching 
positions. 

Individual  departments  deter- 
mined ways  to  provide  more  effi- 
cient teaching  operations.  Some 
smaller  classes  were  closed  while 
others  were  consolidated,  piling 
additional  students  on  professors. 

College  of  Architecture, 
Planning  and  Design 

Cutting  4  percent  of  its  oper- 
ating expenses,  architecture, 
planning  and  design  cut  faculty 


travel  from  the  budget.  Hoping  to 
save  money  in  office  expenses,  the 
administration  and  faculty  limited 
copying  and  took  advantage  of 
Internet  and  e-mail,  Dean  Dennis 
Law  said. 

"We're  small,  and  we  have  list- 
servs  to  send  out  announcements  to 
faculty  and  students,"  he  said.  "It's 
something  we  should  probably  do 
anyway." 

To  meet  the  $198,473  shortfall, 
some  vacant  faculty  positions  were 
closed. 

College  of  Arts  and  Sciences 

The  largest  college  on  campus 
lost  a  total  of  $1.57  million  due  to 
budget  reductions.  The  college's 
tuition  allocation  made  up  for  all 
but  $520,000. 

"We're  at  a  critical  point  right 
now,"  Interim  Dean  Stephen  White 
said.  "It's  high  on  our  priority  to 
protect  the  instructional  programs 


in  the  college." 

Because  many  arts  and  sciences 
courses  were  taken  by  freshmen  and 
for  general  education  credit,  the  col- 
lege did  not  want  to  cut  class  ses- 
sions, White  said. 

To  ease  the  financial  burden,  the 
college  also  recruited  fewer  faculty 
than  past  years. 

College  of  Business 
Administration 

Cutting  4  percent  from  instruc- 
tional funding,  the  college  struggled 
to  make  up  for  the  $215,343  budget 
shortfall,  Dean  Yar  Ebadi  said. 

Business  students  were  charged 
an  additional  $5  per  credit  hour. 
Although  the  college  used  100 
percent  of  the  allotment  toward 
retention  of  faculty,  it  put  a  freeze 
on  three  vacant  positions,  reduced 
the  number  of  graduate  teaching 
assistants  and  cut  summer  research 


grants. 

The  college  also  dismantled 
five  classes  comprising  the  honors 
program  and  ended  19  years  of 
financial  support  to  the  Small 
Business  Development  Center  after 
December. 

College  of  Education 

Although  education  cut 
$252,409  in  spending,  it  did  not 
want  the  deficit  to  adversely  impact 
students,  Dean  Michael  Holen  said, 
so  no  classes  were  closed.  The  col- 
lege cut  temporary  and  part-time 
positions  totaling  the  equivalent 
of  five  full-time  positions.  Faculty 
were  also  restricted  by  limited  sup- 
port for  travel  reimbursements, 
Holen  said. 

College  of  Engineering 

Engineering  added  a  $5  per- 
credit-hour  surcharge  to  students 


to  maintain  faculty  salaries  after 
$529,692  was  cut  from  its  budget. 
The  3 -percent  deficit  was  partially 
restored  through  gifts  and  research 
contracts,  Dean  Terry  King  said. 

"This  is  pretty  serious,"  King 
said.  "We  attempted  to  make  sure 
students  weren't  affected." 

College  of  Human  Ecology 

Asked  to  cut  3.5  percent 
-  $194,473  -  from  its  general  fund, 
human  ecology  withheld  an  addi- 
tional 4  percent  in  anticipation  of 
future  callbacks,  Dean  Carol  Kel- 
lett  said. 

She  said  the  college  split  the 
budget  crunch  into  three  parts  -  not 
filling  five  vacant  faculty  positions, 
using  its  tuition  allotment  effec- 
tively on  operations,  equipment 
and  technology  and  using  undesig- 
nated funding  to  retain  all  sessions 
in  course  schedules.

Student  Government 
Association  President 
Zachary  Cook 

Cook  represented  22,000 
students,  though  he  said  he  tried 
not  to  stand  out. 

"I  didn't  like  to  get  introduced 
as  the  president,"  said  Cook,  senior 
in  biological  and  agricultural 
engineering.  "Get  to  know  me  by 
my  merits,  not  by  my  title." 

Cook  represented  students  at 
banquets  and  city-level  meetings. 
He  helped  with  long-term  university 
planning  on  the  alumni  board  and 
with  university  administrators. 

"It's  hard  work,"  Cook  said.  "I 
wasn't  that  easy  to  work  with  in 
the  beginning,  but  I'm  learning  to 
compromise  and  work  with  people, 
trying  to  work  toward  a  common 
goal.  It's  definitely  a  test  of  patience 
to  deal  with  different  people." 

K-State  Honorary  Family 

A  loyal  K-State  family,  the 
Hooblers  became  K-State's  2002 
Honorary  Family.  Tina  Hoobler, 
senior  in  agricultural  economics, 
said  she  wrote  the  winning  essay 
because  she  wanted  to  let  her  family 
know  how  much  their  support 
meant  to  her. 

Tina,  along  with  her  parents, 
Larry  and  Diane  Hoobler,  and  her 
sisters  Tammy  and  Tonya  received 
the  award  at  K- State's  Family  Day 
activities,  Sept  28. 

Aaron  Jantz,  Intramural 
Manager 

An  important  figure  in 
intramurals,  Jantz,  senior  in  finance, 


completed  much  of  the  behind- 
the-scenes  work  for  thousands  of 
students  who  participated  in  the 
program. 

"I  was  in  charge  of  getting  the 
officials  ready  and  training  them," 
Jantz  said.  "Then  on  a  regular  day, 
I  gave  out  assignments.  I  would  also 
set  up  events  and  supervise  them." 

Jantz  not  only  supervised,  but 
played  as  well. 

"When  I  came  up  to  K-State,  I 
already  knew  some  older  guys,"  he 
said,  "so  we  started  a  team  and  then 
played  all  of  the  sports." 

Scholarship  Nominee 
Darcy  Kern 

Nominated  for  two  prestigious 
scholarships,  Kern,  senior  in  history, 
pre-law,  Spanish  and  French  with  a 
minor  in  leadership  studies,  was  the 
only  student  selected  as  a  nominee 
for  both  the  Rhodes  and  Marshall 
scholarships. 

Both  scholarships  offered 
between  $40,000  and  $60,000 
to  support  a  student  studying  in 
England  for  two  years  . 

Black  Student  Union 
President  Paris  Rossiter 

Founded  in  1969,  the  mission 
of  the  BSU,  according  to  the 
organization's  Web  site,  was  to 
communicate  the  academic, 
cultural  and  social  needs  of  black 
students  as  well  as  others  in  the 
college  community. 

Rossiter,  junior  in  art, 
represented  the  34-year-old 
organization.

Student  Union,  I  am  a  spokesperson 
and  delegate  to  the  greater  campus," 
Rossiter  said.  "I  hope  I  speak  well  for 
the  Union." 

Although  he  was  president, 
Rossiter  said  he  let  the  people  lead. 

Greek  Affairs  President 
Jeffrey  Rundle 

Representing  the  4,000- 
member  greek  community 
challenged  Rundle,  senior  in  civil 
engineering. 

"I  was  in  charge  of  eight 
officers  in  the  executive  council," 
Rundle  said.  "We  also  had  biweekly 
meetings  and  an  executive  meeting 
at  the  end  of  each  semester." 

As  a  former  chapter  president  of 
Beta  Theta  Pi,  Rundle's  focus  shifted 
to  a  larger  scale,  Rundle  said. 

"I  had  to  make  sure  we  all  did 
everything  right,"  he  said.  "It's  a 
bigger  job." 

Willie  the  Wildcat 

A  time-honored  tradition  at  K- 
State,  Willie  the  Wildcat  represented 
the  spirit  of  the  university. 

The  selection  of  Wille,  which 
occured  in  late  April  with  the 
cheer  squad  tryouts,  was  based  on  a 
performance  of  a  comedy  skit  using 
creativity  and  enthusiasm. 

He  performed  at  tailgates,  and 
at  home  and  away  football  games, 
including  postseason  play.  He  was 
also  present  at  most  home  basketball 
and  volleyball  games. 

One  of  the  most  recognizable 
faces  on  campus,  the  identity  of  the 
man  behind  the  mask  has  always 
remained  a  secret.

Arlo  Biere,  professor  of 
agricultural  economics 

As  undergraduate  program 
coordinator,  Biere  organized  fac- 
ulty advising,  recruited  prospec- 
tive students  and  looked  for  ways 
agricultural  economics  could  better 
meet  the  needs  of  students  through 
their  educational  experiences,  job 
searching  and  life,  he  said. 

"I  try  to  make  students  feel 
comfortable,"  Biere  said.  "I  use 
fair  Socratic  questioning  in  class. 
Learning  should  be  a  conversation. 
It's  more  interesting  for  students." 

Gary  Coates,  professor  of 
architecture 

Encouraged  by  former  students, 
Coates  came  to  K- State  in  1977  for 
the  quality  of  the  architecture  pro- 
gram and  administrational  leader- 
ship, he  said. 

Coates'  fall  2001  design  studio 
was  awarded  the  top  American 
Institute  for  Architects  Education 
Honor  for  their  project  on  afford- 
able housing  for  Manhattan.  The 
fall  2002  class  continued  working 
on  research  and  designs. 

"The  project  had  students  tack- 
ling real-world  issues,"  Coates  said. 
"It's  an  honor  to  be  able  to  work 
with  young  people  to  help  them 
become  who  knows  what." 

Michael  Finnegan,  professor 
of  sociology,  anthropology 
and  social  work 

When  students  were  interested 
in  forensic  pathology,  they  were 
sent  to  Finnegan.  Because  there 
was  no  program  for  forensic  sci- 
ence, Finnegan  worked  with  stu- 
dents to  find  classes  in  the  medical 
or  criminology  fields  to  fulfill  their 
dreams,  he  said. 

"Usually  the  students  who 
come  around  are  better  students," 
Finnegan  said.  "It's  nice  to  be  able 
to  help  somebody  get  in  the  right 
classes  and  talk  to  the  right  profes- 
sors." 

Finnegan  helped  students  find 
internships  in  areas  of  forensic 
pathology  and  pre-medicine.  He 
was  responsible  for  the  museology 


interns  where  students  worked  in 
museums. 

Marjorie  Hancock,  associate 
professor  of  elementary 
education 

Part  of  Hancock's  work  in  ele- 
mentary education  involved  work- 
ing with  professional  development 
schools  where  students  worked  as 
student- teachers  to  gain  experience. 
Hancock  also  worked  with  public 
school  teachers  to  supervise  K- State 
students. 

She  said  she  encouraged  volun- 
teerism  for  students  to  work  with 
children  as  well  as  active  participa- 
tion in  class  discussions. 

"I  challenge  them  academi- 
cally," Hancock  said.  "I  have  high 
expectations  but  provide  informa- 
tion they  need  to  be  good  teachers, 
so  they'll  be  the  best  teachers  they 
can  be." 

Carol  Ann  Holcomb, 
professor  of  human  nutrition 

Chair  of  academic  affairs  for 
the  College  of  Human  Ecology 
and  a  member  of  the  Institute 
Review  Board  on  human  research, 
which  monitors  safety  of  research 
on  human  participants,  Holcomb 
joined  the  K- State  faculty  in  1979. 

"I  help  students  by  providing 
them  with  a  positive  experience  in 
classes  through  learning,  direction 
in  academics,  being  supportive  and 
respectful  and  helping  each  one  to 
meet  their  full  potential,"  she  said. 
"I  spend  a  lot  of  time  with  students. 
I  take  an  interest  in  students'  per- 
sonal lives  -  where  they  come  from, 
their  goals,  what  they  enjoy." 

Ray  Hightower,  assistant 
dean  of  engineering 

Hightower  advised  more  than 
200  general  engineering  students. 

"I  like  working  with  students 
and  helping  with  their  problems," 
he  said.  "It  keeps  me  young." 

No  longer  instructing  students 
in  the  classroom,  Hightower  used 
his  experience  in  engineering  and 
at  K- State  to  present  orientation 
sessions  and  chair  a  committee  for 


academic  standards  within  the  Col- 
lege of  Engineering. 

Hightower  devised  a  study  guide 
tailored  for  engineering  students 
that  emphasized  the  importance  of 
study  skills. 

He  encouraged  students  to 
participate  in  engineering  activi- 
ties because  they  develop  people 
and  team  skills,  Hightower  said. 
He  also  helped  initiate  Mentors  for 
International  Experiences  in  May 
2002  and  the  Engineering  Ambas- 
sadors Association  in  1981. 

Swinder  Janda,  associate 
professor  of  marketing 

In  1997,  after  completing  doc- 
torate work  at  the  University  of 
Arkansas  and  moving  to  Southern 
California,  Janda  returned  to  the 
Midwest  to  teach  at  K- State. 

"I  stayed  because  I  like  the 
students,"  he  said.  "They  are  really 
nice  and  getting  along  makes  life 
easy  and  more  fun." 

For  his  marketing  research 
class,  Janda  gave  students  projects 
to  analyze  data  as  opposed  to  read- 
ing books  and  taking  exams. 

"I  make  them  think,"  he  said. 
"That's  what  we're  here  for  -  to 
think  in  situations  and  figure  out 
solutions."

A.Q.  Miller  School  of 
Journalism  and  Mass  Com- 
munications Media  Lab 

Small,  unmarked  and  highly 
technological  like  its  namesake,  the 
Bat  Cave,  the  School  of  Journalism 
and  Mass  Communications'  media 
lab,  was  the  most  technologically 
advanced  room  in  Kedzie  Hall. 

The  total  investment  of 
$100,000  supplied  students  with 
top  -  of-  the  -line  technology  in  audio 
and  video  editing  equipment.  The 
lab  was  open  to  all  branches  of  the 
journalism  and  mass  communica- 
tions curricula. 

Bioterrorism  Facility 

The  state  of  Kansas  received 
$1.67  million  to  prevent  terrorist 
attacks  on  agriculture. 

Part  of  that  money  was  used 
to  build  a  diagnostic  and  response 
facility  at  K- State.  The  site  helped 
protect  plants  and  animals  from  ter- 
rorism-related biological  threats. 

Since  food  and  animal  sciences 
were  so  closely  integrated,  faculty, 
staff  and  students  in  the  building 
worked  closely  with  the  College  of 
Veterinary  Medicine.

physics  and  Jing  Li,  graduate  in 
physics,  developed  a  micro -sized 
optical  element  that  could  produce 
and  detect  light. 

Work  on  the  project  began 
immediately  after  Jiang's  arrival  on 
campus  in  1988. 

The  optical  structure's  diam- 
eter was  smaller  than  a  human  hair 
and  based  on  one  Ill-nitride  wide 
band  gap  semiconductor.  It  had  the 
potential  to  save  billions  of  dollars  in 
energy  costs  globally,  and  increased 
a  light  or  display's  lifetime  by  almost 
1,000  percent. 

Principles  of  Biology 
Studio  Lab 

Designed  with  the  idea  that 
students  learn  differently,  the  Prin- 
ciples of  Biology  Studio  lab  served 
800  students  every  semester. 

With  two  professors,  two  gradu- 
ate teaching  assistants  and  three 
practicums  monitoring  each  of  the 
10  sections  at  all  times,  the  biology 
lab  was  the  only  one  of  its  kind  in 
the  country.  In  the  lab  were  44 
Gateway  computers  and  an  assort- 
ment of  dissecting  and  compound 
microscopes. 

Total  value  of  the  lab  was  esti- 
mated at  about  $2  million.  Sections 
of  80  students  each  were  in  the  lab 
daily  from  7:30  a.m.  to  5  p.m.,  and 
7  to  9  p.m. 

Technology  in  the  Classroom 

In  a  year  ruled  by  budget  cuts, 
technology  in  the  classroom  proved 
to  be  vital  and  cost-efficient. 
Equipped  with  computers,  ELMO 
projectors,  televisions,  VCRs  and 
wireless  microphones,  instructors 
in  Bluemont,  Cardwell,  Dickens, 
Kedzie  and  Seaton  halls  saved 
space,  time,  paper  and  money  by 
teaching  in  an  audio-visual  format 
as  opposed  to  the  traditional  hand- 
out-and-lecture  style. 

"I  am  specifically  interested  in 
exploring  how  to  expand  the  use  of 
visual  information  in  my  courses," 
Harald  Prins,  professor  of  anthro- 
pology, said.  "Communication  has 
become  extremely  visually  oriented. 
Students  nowadays  are  much  more 
visually  oriented  than  in  the  past. 
They  read  fewer  books  and  see 
more  television.  In  the  classroom 


you  cannot  permit  yourself  to  have 
dead  moments." 

Terry  C.  Johnson  Center  for 
Basic  Cancer  Research 

Located  in  the  new  addition  to 
Ackert  Hall,  the  Terry  C.  Johnson 
Center  for  Basic  Cancer  Research 
featured  administrative  and  devel- 
opmental offices,  as  well  as  an 
educational  outreach  room. 

The  center  was  named  after 
Terry  Johnson,  cancer  researcher 
and  university- distinguished  pro- 
fessor. Johnson  lost  his  own  battle 
with  cancer  two  weeks  after  the 
center  was  renamed  in  his  honor. 
"Dr.  Johnson  is  so  deserving  of  this 
honor,"  President  Jon  Wefald  said. 
"Terry's  accomplishments  for  the 
cancer  center  (and)  for  the  division 
of  biology  over  the  years,  were  truly 
extraordinary." 

The  center  also  housed  admin- 
istrative offices  for  BioServe  Space 
Technologies,  a  NASA  commercial 
space  center,  which  Johnson  had 
directed. 

Veterinary  Medical  Teaching 
Hospital,  Radiology  Section 

A  $1 -million  renovation  gave 
one  of  the  top  veterinary  medicine 
programs  in  the  country  cutting- 
edge  technology  in  the  field. 

To  accomodate  the  new  com- 
plex technology,  the  College  of 
Veterinary  Medicine  renovated 
three  rooms  in  the  Veterinary 
Medicine  Teaching  Hospital  with 
copper-shielded  walls,  doors  and 
windows. 

"We  have  purchased  the  most 
technologically  advanced  equip- 
ment available,"  Dr.  Roger  Fing- 
land,  director  of  the  hospital,  said. 
"We  have  cross-sectional  imaging 
capability  that  parallels  human 
medicine  and  is  unsurpassed  in 
veterinary  medicine." 

Used  on  small  animals  and 
horses,  computed  tomography 
and  magnetic  resonance  imaging 
assimilated  multiple  X-ray  images 
into  a  cross-sectional  image  and 
examined  internal  structures  of 
the  body.  The  equipment,  rarely 
available  for  large  animals,  offered 
the  same  specialized  medical  care 
used  on  humans.

Calvin  Hall 

Construction  calmed  safety 
concerns  about  Calvin's  new 
entrance,  which  took  105  days  to 
complete. 

The  old  entrance  had  a  steep 
slope,  which,  during  winter,  became 
icy,  causing  students  to  slip. 

"Calvin  Hall  is  somewhat 
unique  in  that  both  sides  of  the 
building  could  be  considered  to 
be  the  front,"  said  Sondra  Visser, 
budget  director  for  the  College  of 
Business  Administration. 

Visser  said  the  new  entrance 
was  installed  on  the  west  side  of 
the  building  because  most  students 
entered  from  that  side. 

Chalmers  Hall 

Home  to  the  Terry  C.  Johnson 
Center  for  Basic  Cancer  Research, 
the  56,000 -square -foot  addition  to 
Ackert  Hall  included  12  new  cancer 
research  laboratories. 

The  center  included  eight 
research  suites,  departmental 
offices  and  four  instructional  labs. 
Once  built,  it  gave  instructors  and 
students  needed  space  for  class- 
rooms and  research  laboratories. 

The  $11.9  million  addition 
was  constructed  on  the  east  side  of 
Ackert  and  named  in  honor  of  John 
Chalmers,  a  former  dean  of  the  Col- 
lege of  Arts  and  Sciences. 

Grain  Science  Center 

The  Department  of  Grain  Sci- 
ence and  Industry  began  construct- 
ing a  $60 -million  Grain  Science 
Center  in  September.

The  center  was  funded  through 
public  and  private  funds.  The  new 
Grain  Science  Center  thrived  with 
updated  equipment  and  facilities. 

K- State  was  the  only  campus 
internationally  offering  bachelor's 
degrees  in  baking  science,  feed  sci- 
ence and  milling  science  through 
the  grain  science  and  industry 
department. 

The  building  program  included 
constructing  five  buildings  -  a  feed 
mill,  flour  mill,  bioprocessing  and 
industrial  value-added  program, 
international  grain  center  and 
teaching  research  building. 

"The  facilities  we  were  in  were 
old,"  Brendan  Donnelly,  grain  sci- 
ence department  head,  said.  "We 
needed  to  bring  our  facilities  and 
equipment  into  the  21st  century." 

Herbarium 

More  than  185,000  specimens 
of  plants  were  housed  in  the  oldest, 
largest  and  most  diverse  herbarium 
in  the  Great  Plains.  Due  to  the 
amount  of  preserved  plant  speci- 
mens, staff  started  a  computerized 
database. 

"A  database  of  specimens  never 
replaces  specimens,"  said  Carolyn 
Ferguson,  assistant  professor  and 
curator  of  the  herbarium.  "A  data- 
base made  them  more  accessible." 

Information  ranged  from  a 
plant's  scientific  name,  to  its  habitat, 
to  what  insects  pollinated  on  it. 

KSU  Stadium 

$800,000  worth  of  artificial 
grass  replaced  the  11 -year- old  turf 
on  Wagner  Field. 

FieldTurf  was  chosen  because  it 
allowed  a  safe  ground  for  athletes. 
The  turf  reduced  motion-related 
injuries  and  allowed  players  to  wear 
cleats  without  ruining  the  field. 

FieldTurf  used  coated  fibers, 
and  an  open  weave  system  that 
combined  Nike  Grind  rubber  and 
sand  infilling.

Located  on  the  southwest 
corner  of  campus,  the  gates  reading, 
"Kansas  State  University,  Founded 
1863"  welcomed  visitors  to  K- State. 
The  two  45 -foot- wide  and  10  foot- 
high  sections  of  the  limestone  gate 
replaced  the  gate  donated  by  the 
Class  of  1916. 

Caroline  Peine,  former  assistant 
dean  of  student  life,  and  her  brother, 
Perry  Peine,  donated  funds  for  the 
gate  on  behalf  of  their  family.  Two 
markers  were  saved  from  the  old 
gate  and  were  embedded  into  the 
new  gate's  west  side. 

Union  Forum 

To  meet  American  Disabilities 
Act  requirements  for  Forum  Hall, 
the  K-  State  Student  Union  spent 
$166,000  on  renovations. 

Construction  on  the  updated 
installments  began  in  June  and 
ended  in  December. 

The  entrance  of  Forum  was 
replaced  with  automatic  doors 
and  the  restrooms  were  updated  to 
accommodate  a  disabled  person. 
An  automatic  lift  was  installed  on 
the  stairs  and  several  seats  were 
designed  for  wheelchairs.

it  was  moved  between  Bluemont, 
Holton  and  Dickens  halls. 

Mounted  on  a  7-foot  high  struc-

the  bell  hung  above  the  benches 
used  for  studying  or  relaxing. 

"I  see  a  lot  of  students  studying,"

"The  comfy  atmosphere  with 
the  fireplace  and  chairs  leads  to  little 
intimate  corners  where  people  can 
have  conversations  or  curl  up  with 
a  book,"  she  said.  "It  is  a  highly  uti- 
lized space  by  the  students." 

Clock  Area 

Situated  on  the  north  side  of 
Holtz  Hall,  students  sat  on  wooden 
benches  surrounding  a  four- sided 
clock.  Kevin  Halbach,  1975  senior 
in  architecture,  and  James  Shepard, 
university  architect,  designed  the 
area  completed  in  1975. 

The  glass  dials  of  the  13  -foot  tall 
clock,  gifts  from  the  classes  of  '68, 
'71,  '73  and  '74,  were  lit  at  night. 

Durland  Pyramid 

Shaded  by  the  limbs  of  the  tall 
panicled  goldenraintrees,  a  concrete 
pyramid  created  by  the  former 
engineering  honorary  Sigma  Tau, 
marked  the  accomplishments  of 
engineering  students.  Previously 
located  in  front  of  the  east  doors  of 
Ahearn  Field  House,  the  pyramid 
was  moved  to  the  southeast  corner 
of  Durland  Hall  in  1987. 

According  to  Kansas  State 
Collegian  archives,  benches  were 
installed  around  the  planters  in 
1990  to  enhance  the  beauty  of  the 
area  and  keep  skateboarders  from 
causing  damage. 

Farrell  Library  Great  Room 

A  cathedral-like  ceiling  and  75- 
year-old  wooden  tables  on  the  third 
floor  of  Hale  Library  contributed  to 


what  Pat  Patton  called  one  of  the 
best-kept  secrets  on  campus. 

"The  beauty  and  size  of  it  creates 
a  tranquility  that  is  very  conducive 
to  studying,"  Patton,  university 
archives  research  specialist,  said. 
"It's  like  what  you  would  see  of  a 
college  in  the  movies.  It's  so  elegant, 
it  surprises  people." 

Grover  C.  Cobb  Memorial 

Visible  from  the  south  side  of 
campus,  a  set  of  KSAC  radio  trans- 
mitter towers  marked  the  Grover  C. 
Cobb  Memorial. 

Beneath  one  tower,  a  fountain, 
designed  with  the  call  letters  of 
area  radio  stations,  bubbled  in  the 
middle  of  three  redwood  benches. 

The  towers  built  in  1924  were 
placed  on  the  National  Register  of 
Historic  Sites  and  Places  Aug.  27, 
1983  as  the  only  towers  of  their 
kind  still  standing. 

Seaton  Courtyard 

One  tree  planted  on  Earth  Day 
12  years  ago,  evolved  to  an  assort- 
ment of  plants  around  a  walkway. 

The  outdoor  enclosure  of  Seaton 
Court  planned  and  funded  by  Fayez 
Huseini  and  his  environmental 
design  studio  in  1990,  was  designed 
with  the  intent  to  improve  the  look 
of  the  area  and  control  flooding. 

Concrete  and  wooden  benches 
provided  seating  for  the  students. 

The  courtyard  was  deemed  a 
memorial  for  15  K-State  environ- 
mental design  and  architecture 
design  students  who  had  died  while 
still  in  school.

Father,  son 
earn  degrees 

by  Jaci  Boydston 

WHEN     MAXSON     IRSIK,     senior     in     business 
administration,  graduated  Dec.  14,  his  father,  Max,  sat  in  the 
audience  cheering  for  him.  However,  Irsik's  father  differed 
from  most  parents  —  he  had  just  earned  a  degree  from 
K- State  as  well,  his  third. 

"My  whole  family  is  extremely  honored,"  Max  Irsik, 
graduate  student  in  agribusiness,  said.  "They  just  love  Kansas 
State." 

Max,  who  completed  a  doctorate  of  veterinary  medicine  in 
1977,  said  he  decided  to  take  advantage  of  the  award-winning 
agribusiness  program  because  it  was  almost  entirely  Web- 
based. 

"I  looked  at  getting  an  M.B.A.  years  earlier,"  Max  said.  "I 
saw  the  opportunity  with  distance  education  and  I  thought 
it  would  really  work  for  my  schedule." 

Although  Max  did  most  coursework  from  home,  he  and 
his  family  found  it  to  be  a  much  larger  time  commitment 
than  expected. 

"When  he  was  home  from  work,  he  was  in  his  office," 
Linda  Irsik,  Max's  wife,  said.  "We  saw  very  little  of  each 
other." 

Maxson  said  his  father  was  one  of  the  few  people  who 
could  survive  such  a  strenuous  program. 

"It  would  take  a  lot  more  discipline  than  90  percent  of  us 
are  willing  to  put  out,"  Maxson  said.  "I  think  the  program 
was  really  good  for  him." 

When  Max  first  decided  to  work  for  his  masters  in 
agribusiness,  Maxson,  as  a  business  major,  worried  some  of 
the  courses  would  be  too  difficult  for  him. 

"I  was  concerned  as  far  as  whether  master  level  business 
classes  would  be  good  for  him,"  Maxson  said.  "I  shouldn't 
have  been  concerned." 

Although  the  two  were  enrolled  in  classes  at  the  same  time, 
they  decided  against  competing  academically. 

"We  talked  about  having  a  grades  competition,"  Maxson 
said,  "but  I  didn't  want  to  get  my  butt  kicked." 

Despite  the  hard  work  Max  put  toward  achieving  his 
degree,  he  decided  not  to  participate  in  his  commencement, 
opting  to  attend  his  son's  instead. 

"I've  been  through  two  (graduations),"  Max  said.  "I'm 
proud  to  see  my  son  go  through."

Faced  with  decisions 
of  how  to  pay  for  holiday 
purchases  students  consider 
several  solutions 

by  Jacob  Walker 
:HRISTMAS  and  a 
massive  crowd  of  shoppers  streamed  through  Manhattan 
Town  Center  in  search  of  that  special  gift. 

The  holiday  crowd  complicated  mall  shopping,  Rebecca 
Rogers,  freshman  in  journalism  and  mass  communications, 
said. 

"It  was  crazy,"  Rogers  said,  "I  guess  that  it  was  last-minute 
shopping  for  most  people,  but  I  usually  put  it  off  'til  later,  like 
two  or  three  days  before  Christmas." 

The  Christmas  shopping  season,  with  various  sales  and 
gift-buying  pressure,  was  a  time  students  turned  to  credit 
cards  for  easy  access  to  holiday  cash,  said  Joyce  Cantrell, 
instructor  in  family  studies  and  human  services. 

"The  holidays  tend  to  bring  greater  temptations,"  Cantrell 
said.  "It's  all  right  to  put  gifts  on  a  credit  card  as  long  as  you 
can  pay  the  bill  when  it  comes.  You  have  to  live  within  your 
means." 

A  credit  card  could  be  used  for  its  convenience,  or  to  take 
advantage  of  sales  when  the  money  was  not  easily  accessible, 
she  said. 

"I  use  mine  for  Christmas  sales  that  pop  up,"  Rogers  said, 
"or  any  sale,  really." 

According  to  a  2000  Nellie  Mae  report  on  student  credit 
card  debts,  78  percent  of  undergraduate  students  used  one 
credit  card  or  more.  However,  some  students  chose  to  pay 
with  cash. 

"I  never  use  a  credit  card;  I  don't  even  have  one,"  Cole 
Taylor,  junior  in  agronomy,  said.  "I  just  make  sure  I  have 
enough  cash  on  me." 

Students  also  found  other  methods  of  obtaining  funds  for 
holiday  expenses,  such  as  selling  used  items  back  to  Aggieville 
merchants. 

"I  get  a  lot  of  students  who  come  in  this  time  of  year  to 
trade  CDs  in  for  gift  money,"  Jeff  Uhlarik,  owner  of  the  CD 
Tradepost,  said.  "They  also  come  in  to  get  gift  certificates 
for  presents." 


ENJOYING  A  DAY  OUT 
at  the  Manhattan  Town 
Center,  Amy  Folkerts, 
freshman  in  open-option, 
and  her  mother,  Gia  Scott, 
take  a  moment  to  look  at 
the  holiday  decorations 
before  continuing  to  shop 
for  Christmas  presents. 
"I  prefer  to  write  checks 
when  I  go  shopping," 
Pamela  Shelite,  junior  in 
secondary  education,  said. 
"Or  I  carry  small  amounts 
of  cash  with  me."  —  Photo

amazement  at  Santa  and

Dining  Service's  Breakfast 
with  Santa  on  Dec.  14. 
Employee  Pam  Soeken 
organized  the  event  and 
acted  as  Mrs.  Claus.  "It's 
just  sort  of  reaching  out  to

Chartwell  Dining  Service  gives  children  a  chance  to  mingle  with  Mr.  and  Mrs.  Claus 

by  jaci  Boydston 
FOR  TWO  MORNINGS  in  December,  local  children 

and  their  parents  had  the  opportunity  to  meet  some  of  the 

season's  biggest  celebrities:  Frosty  the  Snowman,  Santa's  elves 

and  Santa  and  Mrs.  Claus. 

Breakfast  with  Santa,  organized  by  Chartwell  Dining 
Services,  took  place  in  Union  Station  Dec.  7  and  14. 

"I  think  they  really  liked  it,"  said  Pamela  Hurt,  Chartwell 
employee  and  junior  in  elementary  education.  "A  lot  of  them 
were  getting  their  pictures  taken  with  Frosty  and  Santa." 

Dressed  as  an  elf,  Hurt  greeted  patrons  as  they  filed  in 
for  breakfast  and  the  chance  to  sit  on  Santa's  lap.  Four  of  the 
costumes  —  worn  by  Mrs.  Claus, 
Frosty  and  two  elves  —  were  made 
by  Pam  Soeken,  Chartwell  catering 
director. 

"I  was  quite  excited  when  she 
said  I  could  put  it  on,"  Hurt  said.  "I 
like  being  an  elf." 

Though  the  costumes  were 
homemade,  Hurt  said  she  did  not 
mind  wearing  them. 

"They're  a  little  odd-fitting, 
but  they're  not  uncomfortable," 
Hurt  said.  "The  hat  was  a  little 
warm  at  first." 

While     the     elves     greeted 
customers,  bussed  tables  and  helped  frazzled  parents  carry 
plates  from  the  buffet,  Santa  and  Mrs.  Claus  listened  to 
children's  Christmas  requests  and  posed  for  pictures. 

"(I  love)  just  seeing  all  the  little  kids,"  Soeken,  Mrs.  Claus, 
said.  "Some  are  so  excited  and  some  are  so  shy." 

Soeken  said  she  heard  a  variety  of  Christmas  wishes, 
ranging  from  trains  and  Barbies  to  Sony  PlayStations  and 
Rescue  Heroes. 

"There  was  one  child  who  did  ask  for  clothes,"  Larissa 
Stoddard,  Chartwell  employee,  said.  "I  couldn't  believe  it." 

The  food  and  entertainment  cost  $2  per  person,  which 
Soeken  said  was  inexpensive. 

"We  were  just  trying  to  cover  costs  and  give  kids  a  chance 
to  have  breakfast  with  Santa,"  Soeken  said.  "It's  a  Christmas 
present  to  the  community." 


FINALLY  GETTING

biggest  celebrity  of  the 
season,  Adam  Gibbs, 
age  4,  sits  on  Santa's  lap

in  Union  Station  Dec. 
14.  Along  with  Santa, 
Mrs.  Claus,  Frosty  the 
Snowman  and  several 
of  Santa's  elves  made 
an  appearance  at  the 
breakfast.  "Frosty  did  the 
moonwalk  earlier,"  said 
Pamela  Hurt,  Chartwell 
employee  and  junior  in 
elementary  education.

personal  tOllCtl 

student  ambassadors  learn  to  manage  classwork,  duties,  recruiting 

bv  Jennifer  Newberrv 


C- STATE  as  student 
ambassadors.  Seniors  Mandy  Achilles,  mass  communication, 
and  Blake  Bauer,  agribusiness,  were  elected  from  22,762 
students  in  a  campus-wide  vote  Nov.  6.  The  winners  were 
announced  Nov.  9  at  the  football  game  versus  Iowa  State. 

"I  knew  a  lot  of  the  duties  that  were  going  to  be  asked  of 
me  and  I  felt  that  I  was  able  to  fill  those  duties  fairly  well,  so 
I  thought  I  would  try  for  the  position,"  Bauer  said.  "This  is  a 
goal  I  had  set  for  myself  a  year  ago.  I  felt  that  I  filled  the  criteria 
fairly  well  and  it  just  fell  together  really  well." 

Adviser  Melissa  Decker-  Heidrick  said  she  thought  both 
were  qualified  for  the  year-long  position. 

"They  are  both  wonderful  representatives  of  the  student 
body,"  Decker-Heidrick,  associate  director  of  alumni 
programs,  said.  "They  are  intelligent,  hard  working,  fun 
students.  They  are  all  about  what  K-State  students  are 
about." 

The  responsibilities  of  student  ambassadors  were  three- 
fold, Bauer  said. 

The  first  side  involved  working  with  the  student  alumni 
board,  recruiting  high  school  juniors  for  a  program  called  Just 
for  Juniors.  The  second  involved  traveling  with  the  Alumni 
Association  to  events  around  Kansas  for  recruitment. 

"The  first  time  we  did  a  presentation,  I  was  both  excited 
and  nervous,"  Achilles  said.  "Once  the  presentation  was  over 
with,  it  was  like  our  first  task  was  completed  and  we  could  go 
out  and  be  ourselves  and  talk  with  people." 

The  final  side  involved  representing  the  student  body  at 
different  events,  such  as  receptions  for  Landon  Lecturers  or 
other  luncheons,  as  directed  by  the  president's  office. 

"The  job  has  pretty  much  been  what  I've  expected;  there 
really  haven't  been  any  surprises,"  Achilles  said.  "It's  been 
a  little  surprising  to  have  gotten  so  many  letters  from  the 
president's  office  to  attend  different  events  on  campus.  I  didn't 
think  there  would  be  quite  that  many." 

Another  part  of  the  ambassadors'  responsibilities  was  to 
demonstrate  what  K-State  offered  to  prospective  students 


uncertain  about  the  college. 

"K-  State's  a  great  university;  anyone  who's  here  can  see 
that,"  Bauer  said.  "My  job  is  to  show  all  the  sides  of  K-State 
and  how  it  can  relate  to  any  kind  of  person  —  from  greek  life 
to  housing  and  getting  involved  on  campus,  to  academics 
and  scholarships." 

Representing  the  university  was  not  without  its 
challenges. 

"You  have  to  fight  over  some  of  the  thoughts  in  people's 
heads  —  that  you're  going  to  be  sitting  in  classes  of  over  500," 
he  said.  "It's  not  any  different  though.  You  go  and  take  notes 
like  you  would  in  any  other  class." 

Students  who  did  not  have  a  family  member  attend  K- 
State  were  the  most  difficult  students  to  recruit,  Bauer  said. 

"The  biggest  thing  that  I  always  talk  with  students  about,  if 
they're  not  specifically  asking  questions,  is  the  atmosphere  of 
K-  State  and  how  my  experiences  with  that  have  been,"  Achilles 
said.  "My  other  advice  that  I  give  is  to  go  visit  other  colleges 
because  that's  the  only  way  that  they'll  know  that  K-State  has 
that  great  atmosphere  and  is  really  a  good  place  to  be." 

The  ambassadors  related  to  all  groups  of  people,  Decker- 
Heidrick  said. 

"They  meet  all  different  people  such  as  alumni,  prospective 
students'  parents,  prospective  students  and  peers,"  Decker- 
Heidrick  said.  "It's  a  big  challenge  with  all  of  those  age  groups 
and  their  different  interests." 

Though  the  student  ambassadors  had  an  important 
position,  both  asserted  they  were  students  like  everyone 
else. 

"I'm  in  different  groups  on  campus,  so  just  managing 
my  time  and  representing  the  university  might  be  one  of 
my  biggest  challenges  —  balancing  everything  out  —  and 
showing  that  I'm  just  another  regular  student  out  talking  to 
them,"  Bauer  said.  "We're  just  one  of  the  other  students  who 
wakes  up  and  goes  to  class  at  8:30  like  everyone  else. 

I  don't  see  a  problem  in  keeping  up.  I  think  my  plate  is 
full,  but  well  balanced."

A  KEY  ELEMENT  OF  THE 
PRESENTATIONS,  Bauer 
works  with  Willie  the 
Wildcat  to  explain  the 
ins  and  outs  of  being 
a  K-State  student  to 
prospective  students. 
"Mandy  and  I  will  give  a 
presentation,  and  explain 
things  that  you  wouldn't 
have  known  coming  out 
of  high  school  and  so 
it's  a  good  introduction 
for  them,"  Bauer  said. 
"This  gives  them  an 
opportunity  to  think 
about  K- State  and  see 
students  one-on-one  and 
ask  questions."  — Photo

PRACTICING  THEIR 
PRESENTATION,  seniors 
Mandy  Achilles,  mass 
communication,  and 
Blake  Bauer,  agribusiness, 
prepare  for  their 
presentation  in  front  of 
prospective  students  in 
Topeka.  "When  Blake  and 
I  were  preparing,  it  was 
hard  to  find  time  for  both 
of  us  to  do  it,"  Achilles 
said,  "but  I'm  so  happy 
to  be  able  to  work  with 
him.  He's  been  more  than 
incredible."  Achilles  said 
she  was  excited  about 
talking  with  prospective 
students. —  Photo  by

Rent  takes 
over  McCain 

by  Jaci  Boyclston 

G  the  technically  complicated,  award -winning 

musical,  "Rent,"  to  K- State  was  not  as  difficult  as  Jacob  Urban, 

McCain  Auditorium  public  programmer  and  performance 

technician,  originally  expected. 

Urban  attributed  the  smooth  set-up  to  the  experienced 
traveling  road  crew,  The  Booking  Group. 

"This  went  up  faster  than  it  should  have,"  he  said.  "They 
know  what  they're  doing.  It  flew  up." 

The  Feb.  25  performance  was  for  a  sold -out  crowd,  which 
had  not  happened  since  1999,  when  the  Russian  National 
Ballet  performed  "Swan  Lake." 

"('Rent')  was  different  because  it's  so  quick,"  Steimel, 
senior  in  architectural  engineering,  said.  "It's  over  and  done 
within  24  hours." 

The  production  company  arrived  and  began  work  at  8 
a.m.  the  day  of  the  performance.  They  worked  with  a  43- 
person  crew,  comprised  of  McCain  and  K- State  Student  Union 
employees,  and  K- State  and  University  of  Kansas  students,  to 
prepare  for  the  7:30  p.m.  performance. 

"Rent"  provided  all  props,  lights  and  set. 

"They  know  exactly  what  they  want,"  Urban  said.  "They 
don't  have  to  customize." 

Although  problems  sometimes  arose  with  traveling  road 
crews,  George  Stavropoulos,  sophomore  in  theater,  said  the 
group  was  easy  to  work  with. 

"There's  a  different  set  of  hurdles  to  deal  with,  with 
each  road  crew,"  Stavropoulos  said.  "This  crew  is  tons  more 
professional." 

The  crew  was  specific  in  what  they  needed,  Urban  said. 

"If  we  just  do  what  they  tell  us  to  do,  everyone's  happy,"  he 
said.  "It's  actually  not  that  bad.  The  show  goes  by  quickly." 

Since  "Rent"  was  only  in  town  one  night,  the  set  had  to 
be  taken  down  immediately  after  the  performance.  The  crew 
continued  work  until  after  midnight. 

"The  hours  don't  really  wear  on  you  until  about  half  an 
hour  before  we  get  to  go  home,"  Urban  said.  "But  we're  like 
family.  We  have  no  other  friends.  I've  never  seen  a  fight." 

Stavropoulos  said  the  late  nights  did  not  bother  him, 
because  he  enjoyed  gaining  theater  experience. 

"Being  an  actor,  I'm  used  to  the  long  hours,"  Stavropoulos 
said.  "Doing  shows  like  this  really  makes  you  appreciate  what 
goes  on.  Theater's  contagious."

COVERED  IN  A  ROSY  GLOW  from  lights  wrapped  in 
a  veil  of  red  gossamer,  residence  hall  students  entered  the 
transformed  K- State  Student  Union  Ballroom  at  the  annual 
Winter  Ball,  Feb.  15 

During  the  night  of  dancing,  music  and  refreshments, 
nearly  200  students  enjoyed  the  ballroom's  expansive  dance 
floor  and  decorations,  Kahlen  Ryba,  sophomore  in  English, 
said. 

"I  really  liked  that  it  was  in  the  Union,"  she  said.  "It's  a  nice 
central  location,  and  the  dance  floor  was  really  big." 

The  Winter  Ball,  sponsored  by  the  Association  of  Residence 
Halls,  was  an  opportunity  for  students  to  attend  a  formal 
dance,  with  the  option  of  dressing  casually,  Ryba  said. 

"It  was  technically  a  formal,  but  some  people  just  came  in 
regular  clothes,"  she  said.  "I  always  love  an  excuse  to  get  all 
dressed  up,  so  my  friends  and  I  all  came  in  formals." 

The  Winter  Ball's  theme  "Gifts  From  the  Heart,"  lent  itself 
to  the  romantic  dance  setting  and  also  to  the  idea  of  giving, 
Julia  Haney,  sophomore  in  business  administration,  said. 

"Since  the  theme  was  about  giving,  we  took  donations  to 
give  to  the  (Flint  Hills)  Breadbasket,"  Haney  said.  "We  raised 
almost  $1,400  to  send  them." 

The  dance  also  served  as  a  way  for  students  in  other  halls 
to  come  together  outside  of  a  classroom  setting. 

"I  just  love  going  to  see  everyone  all  dressed  up,  not  just 
going  to  a  class  or  walking  around  the  dorm,"  Rebecca  Jones, 
sophomore  in  elementary  education,  said.  "I  was  glad  all  my 
friends  from  Moore  (Hall)  got  to  meet  my  friends  from  Ford 
(Hall)." 

The  ballroom  seemed  to  be  set  up  with  everything 
students  could  want  for  a  dance,  Ryba  said. 

"The  DJ  was  really  great;  there  was  a  huge  dance  floor  so 
it  wasn't  crowded,"  she  said.  "They  had  a  bunch  of  tables  for 
food  and  people  who  weren't  dancing.  It  was  a  blast."

Dollar  specials,  unique 
atmosphere  attract  students  to 
Aggieville  Thursday  nights;  some 
sacrifice  Friday  classes  as  others 
prove  academic  endurance 

by  Nabil  Shaheen  and  Linclsey  Thorpe 

and  Friday  morning  classes, 
low  prices  and  an  early  start  to  the  weekend  lured  students  to 
Aggieville  Thursday  nights. 

With  a  155,000  BTU  heater  welcoming  cold  customers 
at  the  front  of  Rusty's  Last  Chance  Restaurant  and  Saloon, 
students  could  turn  left  to  play  billiards,  walk  straight  into 
the  front  bar  or  keep  going  farther  to  the  louder  Rusty's 
Outback. 

"Rusty's,  that's  where  everybody  seems  to  go,"  Jody 
Santure,  freshman  in  open- option,  said.  "They  might  go  to 
different  bars  all  night,  but  everyone  always  ends  up  here." 

As  the  night  turned  into  early  morning,  some  students 
accepted  the  fact  classes  would  not  be  attended  the  next  day, 
while  others  reveled  in  the  challenge. 

"I  have  five  classes  on  Friday,  but  I  still  manage  to  go  to  all 
of  them,"  Haley  Thompson,  junior  in  marketing,  said.  "I  have 
a  7:30  a.m.,  but  I  still  make  it.  I'm  a  morning  person." 

The  Thursday  night  atmosphere  had  a  much  different  feel 
than  that  of  the  weekend,  Santure  said. 

"It's  the  cheap  drinks,"  he  said.  "I  have  about  10  or  12 
buddies  here,  it's  just  a  different  crowd." 

Matt  Thompson,  sophomore  in  kinesiology,  agreed, 
especially  when  it  came  to  students  of  the  female  variety. 

"There  are  better  looking  women,"  Thompson  said.  "It 
seems  like  more  girls  come  out  since  they  usually  go  home 
on  the  weekends." 

One  important  aspect,  especially  in  times  of  bad  economy, 
was  the  low  expense  and  affordable  specials  offered,  which 
was  the  ultimate  siren's  song,  Neely  Holland,  senior  in  mass 
communication,  said. 

"I'll  spend  maybe  $5-6  on  a  Thursday  night,"  Holland 
said.  "I'd  rather  go  out  on  a  Wednesday  or  Thursday  because 
it  is  less  expensive.  It's  probably  about  $10  cheaper  if  I  go 
out  on  Thursday.  A  beer  is  $1  on  Thursday,  but  on  Friday 
it's  $2.50."

Air  show 
takes  flight 

by  Matt  Gorney 

INSTEAD  OF  NAVIGATING  AIRPLANES,  students  from 
the  College  of  Technology  and  Aviation  directed  attention 
toward  their  school  at  the  Aerospace  and  Aviation  Show  at 
Manhattan  Town  Center,  Sept.  21-22.  The  show  gave  the 
public  an  opportunity  to  interact  with  student  pilots. 

"We  wanted  to  get  the  name  out  for  K- State -Salina,"  Eric 
Scott,  freshman  in  professional  pilot,  said,  "and  get  people 
interested  in  aviation  and  flying." 

Booths  were  set  up  near  the  west  entrance  to  the  Town 
Center  and  included  different  demonstrations  of  flying  and 
informational  handouts  about  the  school. 

"This  was  our  first  year,"  Marlon  Johnston,  aviation 
department  head,  said.  "It  helped  us  recruit  people  who  are 
already  interested  in  K- State." 

Mandi  Bellamy,  sophomore  in  airway  science,  admitted 
she  did  not  know  about  the  school  until  she  stumbled  upon 
it  while  online.  She  had  originally  planned  to  attend  another 
aviation  college  out  of  state,  but  felt  lucky  when  she  found 
K-State-Salina. 

Bellamy  came  from  a  family  of  aviators  and  had  always 
enjoyed  flying,  she  said. 

"Flying  is  very  cool.  It's  something  that  not  everybody 
does,"  Bellamy  said.  "I  come  from  three  generations  of  pilots 
and  I  cannot  imagine  not  being  able  to  fly." 

In  addition  to  being  a  recruiting  tool,  the  show  brought 
aviation  groups  together. 

"It  gave  the  opportunity  to  bring  several  aspects  of  the 
local  aviation  committee  together  in  Manhattan,"  Johnston 
said.  "I  thought  it  was  really  interesting." 

Bellamy  said  she  wanted  to  be  part  of  anything  involving 
aviation  and  going  to  the  show  was  logical  for  her. 

"I  explained  information  about  the  aviation  program  at 
K-  State  -Salina,"  Bellamy  said.  "(I)  tried  to  help  them  with  any 
aviation  questions  or  college  questions  that  they  had."

Glover,  Justice  educate  students  about  influential  black  leaders  through  their  work 


ACTORS  DANNY  GLOVER  AND  FELIX  JUSTICE 

brought  the  leader  of  the  civil  rights  movement,  along  with 

one  of  the  foremost  poets  of  the  Harlem  Renaissance,  to  life. 

Union  Program  Council  sponsored  the  Jan.  21  presentation 

of,  "An  Evening  with  Martin  and 

Langston." 

"It  directly  ties  into  our  Martin 

Luther  King  Week  events,"  Mark 

Threeton,  graduate  program  adviser 

for  the  UPC,  said.  "It's  a  message  we 

wanted  to  bring  to  K- State." 

The   presentation   included 

Justice  reciting  a  speech  King  gave 

shortly  before  his  death  in  1968, 

and  Glover  reciting  several  poems 

by  Langston  Hughes.  Audience 

members  had  the  opportunity  to 

ask  questions  at  the  end. 

"The  entire  performance  was 

very  powerful,"   Dionica   Bell, 

sophomore  in  journalism  and 

mass  communications,  said.  "I've 

always  been  an  advocate  of  the 

Martin  Luther  King  holiday  because 

I  think  it's  an  important  part  of  my 

at  McCain  Auditorium,      history  and  my  heritage." 

Glover  relates  the 

importance  of  Hughes' 

message  and  life.  "We 

want  to  extend  ourselves 

in  fighting  for  what  is  just 

and  fighting  for  what  is 

right,"  Glover  said.

Glover  and  Justice  have  been  performing  their  two -man 
show  since  1992.  In  that  time,  they  have  visited  more  than  200 
college  campuses  and  venues  in  Africa  and  the  Middle  East. 

Justice  said  the  pair  began  performing  together  because 
of  his  reverence  for  Glover,  whom  he  introduced  as,  "a  giant 
among  men,  an  ambassador  to  the  world." 

"From  my  point  of  view,  I've  long  admired  Danny  Glover's 
civic  sense,"  Justice  said.  "He  has  constantly  given  of  himself 
in  whatever  community  he  has  lived  in." 

Bell  said  she  also  admired  Glover's  work. 

"I  thought  it  was  important  to  attend  because  Danny 
Glover  has  been  a  huge  civic  leader  in  his  lifetime,"  Bell  said. 
"It  was  also  really  cool  to  hear  the  speech  Mr.  Justice  gave 
because  I've  studied  Martin  Luther  King,  but  I  had  never 
heard  that  particular  piece." 

The  speech  Justice  recited  was  the  last  full  speech  King 
gave  before  his  death,  which  Justice  said  lent  extra  importance 
to  it. 

"He  was  not  killed  for  being  a  civil  rights  leader,"  Justice 
said.  "He  was  killed  for  the  speech  he  made  tonight.  We  should 
talk  about  his  life,  but  we  should  also  talk  about  the  reasons 
he  died." 

Bell  said  she  felt  UPC  invested  in  a  quality  project. 

"I  totally  appreciated  the  experience,"  Bell  said.  "I  think 
K- State  did  a  really  good  job  and  should  continue  to  have 
events  like  this."

A  head  start 
to  exercise 

by  Lindsay  Porter 

TS  were  still  sleeping,  more  than 
200  students  and  community  members  woke  their  muscles  up 
with  a  trip  to  the  Chester  E.  Peters  Recreation  Complex. 

The  Rec  Center  opened  every  weekday  at  6  a.m.  Students 
used  the  aerobic  machines,  lifted  weights  and  attended 
exercise  classes. 

Tracy  Edwards,  senior  in  elementary  education  and  Step 
and  Tone  instructor,  woke  up  at  5:30  a.m.  to  arrive  at  the 
exercise  room  by  6:15  a.m.  to  wipe  off  the  floor,  set  up  the 
room  and  select  music  for  her  class  at  6:30  a.m.. 

"I  teach  all  morning  classes,"  Edwards  said.  "I  get  up  and 
exercise  because  exercise  makes  you  ready  for  the  day." 

Edwards  said  she  was  a  morning  person  as  were  most  of 
the  regulars  in  her  step  classes. 

"People  in  my  classes  are  really  enthusiastic,"  she  said. 
"They  are  not  dragging  in.  We  have  a  lot  of  fun  for  that  early 
in  the  morning." 

Jennifer  Dalsem,  Manhattan  resident,  attended  Edwards' 
step  classes  when  she  visited  the  Rec  Center.  Dalsem,  who 
worked  in  Topeka,  said  she  preferred  morning  exercise 
because  it  allowed  her  to  spend  the  evenings  at  home  with 
her  husband. 

"It's  better  if  I  go  first  thing  in  the  morning  and  get  it 
done,"  she  said.  "It's  less  busy — the  nights  tend  to  be  crowded 
—  and  then  I'm  done  for  the  day.  I'm  not  necessarily  a  morning 
person.  It  motivates  me  to  get  up  an  hour  earlier." 

Derek  Walters,  associate  director  of  recreational  services, 
said  more  than  1,800  students  used  the  Rec  Center  daily. 

Erica  Sisson,  junior  in  fisheries  and  wildlife  biology,  and 
roommate  Chasty  Champlin,  sophomore  in  animal  sciences 
and  industry,  also  used  equipment  in  the  Rec  Center  a  couple 
of  times  a  week  at  6  a.m. 

"My  roommate  is  a  morning  person,  she  makes  me  go," 
Sisson  said.  "If  I  can't  make  it  in  the  morning,  then  I  go  later. 
(Going  early)  gets  you  ready  —  you  have  more  time  to  get 
ready  and  are  more  awake  for  the  first  class."

on  the  fifth  floor  of  Hale  Library,

received  equipment  to  sustain  a 
conservation  team,  but  Hale  did 
not  employ  a  conservation  team. 

Hartford  said  the  difference 
between  conservation  and  preser- 
vation was  the  types  of  repairs. 

"They  are  essentially  the  same 
thing,"  Hartford  said.  "There  are 
different  levels  of  treatment.  Book 
repair  is  simple.  Conservation 
involves  completely  re -casing  the 
book.  We  don't  do  that  here." 

Feldkamp  and  Haritatos  con- 
centrated on  repairing  damaged  books.  Common  repairs 
included  reinforcing  the  spine,  replacing  lost  or  missing  pages 
and  providing  acid-free  boxes  for  safekeeping. 

Hartford  said  of  the  1.5  million  books  in  circulation,  the 
preservation  unit  repaired  more  than  3,000  in  2002. 

Hartford  said,  at  some  libraries,  when  a  book  reached  a 
deteriorated  state  it  would  be  thrown  out,  but  that  was  not 
the  case  at  Hale. 

"Academic  libraries  don't  get  rid  of  anything,"  she  said. 
"It  might  have  value  to  someone." 

The  preservation  team  aimed  to  sustain  a  full-time  lab, 
if  not  a  conservator,  within  five  years. 

"It's  important,"  Hartford  said.  "We  are  always  going  to 
have  books  and  focus  attention  on  the  present  collection  of 
books  and  other  resources.  It's  amazing  what's  available."

Union  food  court  becomes  more 
diverse  as  students  experience 
distant  culture,  taste  new 
cuisine  with  arrival  of  Greek 
Odyssey  Cafe 

bv  Jacob  Walker 

on  the  grill  as  the  scent 
of  meat  mingled  with  onions  and  green  peppers.  With  a  flip 
of  his  spatula,  Tony  Belardo,  tossed  the  bread  onto  a  plate  and 
piled  on  the  rest  of  the  ingredients. 

With  no  frying  or  grease,  The  Greek  Odyssey  Cafe,  located 
in  the  K- State  Student  Union,  provided  a  healthier  alternative 
to  fast  food  restaurants  in  the  food  court,  Belardo  said. 

While  there  were  a  few  customer  favorites,  the  Odyssey 
offered  a  large  variety  of  choices. 

"We  just  have  so  many  different  kinds  of  Greek  food  that 
we  have  to  keep  replacing  the  menu,"  Belardo  said.  "They're 
all  good,  and  this  way  there  is  a  bit  more  variety,  not  just  the 
same  stuff  all  the  time." 

The  Odyssey  added  variety,  not  only  to  its  menu,  but  to 
the  entire  food  court. 

"They  have  good  stuff,  if  you  like  Greek  food,"  Kathryn 
Van  Keuren,  junior  in  secondary  education,  said.  "It's  very 
different  from  a  pizza  or  hamburger." 

Van  Keuren  said  she  thought  the  way  food  was  prepared 
made  a  difference  in  how  healthy  it  was. 

"It's  not  fried,"  she  said.  "It  doesn't  really  feel  like  it  is 
even  fast  food." 

Before  the  Odyssey  sprang  into  existence,  a  cooking  demo 
station  occupied  the  space  where  different  kinds  of  foods  were 
served  on  a  weekly  basis.  One  of  the  rotations  served  Greek 
food,  inspiring  the  creation  of  the  Odyssey. 

"The  Greek  food  was  by  far  the  most  popular  of  the 
menus,"  Eric  Braun,  director  of  dining  services,  said.  "We 
contacted  a  Greek  food  managing  company,  Kronos  Products, 
and  they  helped  us  set  up  the  Greek  Odyssey." 

Kronos  Products,  a  Chicago  based  company,  provided 
the  Union  with  supplies  needed  to  prepare  a  wide  array  of 
entrees. 

"The  Kronos  family  is  Greek,  so  we  know  the  food  we  get 
is  authentic,"  Braun  said.  "It  really  adds  to  the  multi- cultural 
atmosphere  we  are  trying  to  have  in  the  Union."

Volunteers 
raise  money 

by  Jaci  Boydston 

AFTER  24  YEARS  of  soliciting  money  from  alumni,  the 
KSU  Foundation  Telefund  was  expected  to  be  stronger  than 
ever,  Gordon  Dowell,  director  of  annual  giving,  said. 

"This  is  an  awesome  program,"  Dowell  said.  "Telefund 
has  built  a  huge  reputation." 

The  month-long  event  ran  Jan.  21-Feb.  24.  Each 
weeknight,  student  volunteers  called  alumni  from  their 
colleges  and  departments  to  solicit  donations. 

"We  allow  people  to  direct  money  back  to  their  college," 
Dowell  said.  "That  provides  scholarships  and  other  sorts  of 
dollars." 

Dowell  said  K- State  ranked  first  in  the  Big  12  Conference 
and  fourth  nationally  among  schools  receiving  alumni 
support. 

"That's  pretty  cool,  but  it  goes  relatively  unnoticed," 
Dowell  said.  "A  lot  of  people  join  in  and  support." 

Although  students  might  not  have  thought  an  evening  of 
telemarketing  sounded  like  fun,  Amanda  Knight,  senior  in 
modern  languages,  said  she  enjoyed  it. 

"It's  really  energetic,  maybe  too  energetic,"  Knight  said. 
"You're  just  pulled  into  it." 

Music,  prizes  and  an  abundance  of  donated  food 
contributed  to  Telefund 's  atmosphere. 

Stephani  Edington,  sophomore  in  journalism  and  mass 
communications,  said  she  won  two  T-shirts,  several  gift 
certificates  and  a  thermal  mug  during  her  four-hour  shift. 

"They  gave  away  all  sorts  of  prizes,"  Edington  said. 
"Calling  people  and  asking  for  money  is  not  a  fun  thing  to 
do,  but  they  made  it  fun." 

Edington  raised  around  $800  for  the  A.Q.  Miller  School 
of  Journalism  and  Mass  Communications,  which  was  average 
for  most  volunteers,  Dowell  said. 

Telefund  gave  away  more  than  $60,000  in  prizes,  to 
encourage  student  participation  and  reward  excellence, 
Dowell  said.  Prizes  included  a  2003  Nissan  Frontier  and  a 
$1,000  scholarship. 

However,  Edington  said  there  were  more  important 
reasons  to  volunteer  than  the  opportunity  to  win  prizes. 

"It  was  a  good  way  to  donate  your  time,"  Edington  said. 
"Sometimes  when  you  call  people,  they're  really  mean,  but 
the  ones  who  aren't  make  up  for  it."

A  KISS  Tip: 

Straight  from  the  mouth... 

Place  a  straw  in  your  mouth.  Pinch 
your  nose  shut.  Breathe  only  through 
the  straw. 

This  is  how  it  feels  to  breathe  with 
emphysema.  Emphysema  is  just  one  of 
the  risks  increased  by  smoking. 


Lafene  health  program  promotes 
non-smoking  among  students, 
personalizes  patients'  needs  to 
look  into  deeper  issues  with 
smoking  risks 

by  Natalie  Gervais 

ENCOURAGING  A  SMOKE-FREE  ENVIRONMENT 
and  healthy  lifestyle,  K- Staters  Inspired  to  Stop  Smoking 
was  revamped  in  December. 

"Smoking  is  becoming  one  of  the  leading  health  problems," 
Carol  Kennedy,  director  of  Health  Education  and  Promotions, 
said.  "The  highest  success  programs  for  smoking  cessation 
address  psychological  issues  and  physical  addictions." 

KISS  applied  those  ideals  to  its  four-week  program. 
Kennedy  said  the  free,  personalized  program  was  specific  to 
students'  needs. 

"We  take  a  look  at  the  mental  aspects  of  the  problem, 
which  is  why  the  program  for  the  American  Cancer  Society 
was  so  successful,"  Kennedy  said.  "We  address  concerns  about 
weight  gain  and  other  fears  the  student  may  have." 

To  determine  where  the  core  addiction  came  from,  students 
answered  a  variety  of  questions.  After  a  score  was  calculated, 
the  results  determined  the  next  step  toward  quitting  smoking. 
Stress  balls,  chewing  gum  and  a  community  Listserv  offering 
suggestions  and  advice  comprised  techniques  used  to  calm 
addiction. 

"I've  tried  to  quit  a  couple  of  times  before,"  Ryan  Epstein, 
junior  in  management  information  systems,  said,  "but  I'll  be 
at  a  party  or  bar  and  start  up  again.  I  plan  to  quit  cold-turkey 
when  I  graduate." 

The  number  of  current  K-State  students  predicted  to 
die  of  tobacco -related  illness  was  2,404,  based  on  fall  2002 
enrollment  numbers. 

"I  think  our  latest  slogan,  2,404,  says  it  all,"  said  Joshua 
Umbehr,  senior  in  nutrition  science  and  creator  of  the  KISS 
acronym.  "It  stands  for  the  number  of  students  currently 
enrolled  who  will  statistically  die  from  smoking.  We  felt  that 
was  an  outrageous  number  and  something  had  to  be  done."

Lab  tests  virus 
in  horses 

by  Jennifer  Newberry  and  Michelle  Wilmes 

OF  THE  105  COUNTIES  in  Kansas,  103  reported  having 
positive  results  of  the  West  Nile  Virus,  according  to  the 
K- State  Research  and  Extension  Web  site. 

Detecting  793  cases  in  horses,  K-State  Veterinary 
Diagnostic  Laboratory,  located  in  Mosier  Hall,  provided 
testing  sites  for  the  virus. 

Bonnie  Rush,  professor  of  clinical  studies,  said  she  advised 
the  Kansas  Legislature  in  February  2002  that  the  disease  would 
arrive  in  Kansas  by  summer. 

Sanjay  Kapil,  associate  professor  of  diagnostic  medicine 
and  pathobiology,  said  K- State  was  first  in  Kansas  to  diagnose 
any  positive  results  of  the  disease.  The  Centers  for  Disease 
Control  helped  set  up  the  testing  site  and  sent  supplies. 

"The  testing  process  is  like  a  blind  study;  but  out  of  the 
cases  we  sent  to  the  CDC,  we  matched  them  with  100  percent 
accuracy,"  Kapil  said.  "We  had  good  luck  and  encountered  no 
setbacks.  It  was  a  perfect  setup." 

Kapil  said  the  national  turn -around  rate,  when  dealing 
with  testing  the  virus,  was  three -to -four  weeks.  At  K- State, 
it  took  a  maximum  of  two  days.  They  tested  one  day  and  got 
the  results  the  next  day. 

"We  began  working  on  the  virus  several  months  before  it 
even  arrived  in  Kansas,"  Kapil  said.  "With  its  low  population 
density  and  the  types  of  mosquitoes  that  exist  here,  we 
predicted  that  Kansas  would  have  more  West  Nile  cases  in 
horses  than  in  any  other  type  of  animal — we  were  right." 

K- State  detected  the  first  case  of  the  virus  Aug.  8,  and  the 
first  human  cases  were  confirmed  Oct.  10.  Twenty- two  human 
cases  were  reported  before  the  end  of  the  summer. 

Joe  Anderson  and  Heather  Wisdom,  research  assistants  of 
diagnostic  medicine  and  pathobiology,  tested  for  the  virus. 

"I  work  with  reading  the  results,"  Wisdom  said.  "Since 
the  summer,  testing  has  severely  decreased  since  there  are  no 
mosquitoes  right  now." 

The  testing  affected  revenues  with  each  costing  $  10.  About 
2,000  tests  were  run  in  three  months. 

"We're  the  only  lab  in  Kansas  to  run  them,"  she  said. 
"Occasionally  we  would  send  them  to  a  place  in  Iowa." 

As  of  January,  those  involved  with  the  testing  were 
attempting  to  expand  the  test. 

"We'd  like  to  maybe  test  other  animals  as  well,  besides 
horses,"  Wisdom  said,  "especially  birds."

College  life  challenges 
eating  habits,  ability  to 
eat  healthy  while 
balancing  schedules 

by  Lindsey  Jones 

NEW  STUDENTS  were  faced  with  a  variety 
of  eating  options  after  coming  to  K- State.  Sheryl 
Powell,  director  of  Kramer  Dining  Center,  said 
sometimes  those  options  blurred  the  line 
between  nourishment  and  gluttony. 

"I  think  they're  overwhelmed  by  all  the 
choices,"  Powell  said.  "They  have  to  learn  healthy 
lifestyles." 

Fending  for  themselves  in  what  Powell  called 
a  toxic  environment,  some  students  gained 
weight  after  making  the  transition  to  college. 

"Part  of  this  whole  Freshman  15  thing  has  to 
do  with  options  and  choices,"  Powell  said.  "You 
have  to  make  good  choices." 

She  said  the  dining  centers  strove  for  variety, 
which  sometimes  meant  high-fat,  high-sugar  foods. 

"We  can't  not  offer  those,"  Powell  said.  "It's 
an  issue  of  quantity  and  how  often." 

Powell  said  students  needed  to  look  within 
to  change  the  way  they  eat. 

"I'm  convinced  habit  is  what  it's  all  about," 
she  said.  "You  just  have  to  change  your  thinking. 
Changing  your  habits  is  going  to  have  some  really 
positive  results,  but  people  don't  want  to  hear 
that." 

Diana  Schalles,  a  nutritionist  at  Lafene 
Health  Center,  said  students  also  needed  to 
change  their  impression  of  dieting. 

"I  like  healthy  and  balanced  eating  as 
I 


opposed  to  diet,"  Schalles  said.  "lust  doing 
some  pre-planning  helps  you  so  that  you're  not 
relying  on  those  large  portion  sizes  and  eating 
when  you're  famished." 

The  effects  of  overeating  on  health  are 
staggering,  Powell  said.  Increased  instances  of 
obesity,  diabetes  and  even  cancer  are  associated 
with  an  unhealthy  diet. 

Another  damaging  consequence  on  the  body 
was  the  toll  due  to  on -again,  off- again  dieting, 
which  produced  frustration  and  worn -down 
bodies,  Powell  said. 

Schalles  said  getting  help  and  obtaining 
correct  nutritional  information  were  two  major 
tools  to  prevent  overeating. 

Often  social  trends  went  against  healthy 
habits,  creating  problems  for  students  who  were 
trying  to  make  healthy  decisions. 

"I  wish  we  as  a  society  could  eat  less,"  Whitney 
Mordica,  junior  in  animal  sciences  and  industry, 
said.  "We  need  to  take  smaller  portions  and  eat  less 
often.  We  continue  to  increase  portions  and  this 
obesity  becomes  a  larger  and  larger  problem." 

It  seemed  the  primary  reason  behind  the 
campus'  increasing  serving  sizes  was  value, 
Powell  and  Schalles  agreed. 

"They  are  getting  a  dollar  value,"  Powell  said, 
"but  I  really  question  whether  they're  getting  a 
health  value."

exhibit  at  Hale  Library  showcases  book  history,  current  issues 

by  Matt  Gorney 


IN  A  DARK  LAB,  a  genius,  dismissed  by  his  colleagues, 
bestowed  life  on  his  creation,  not  knowing  the  life -altering 
consequences  it  would  have.  "Frankenstein,"  the  novel, 
chronicled  the  scientist  and  his  horrifying  experience  with 
the  creation.  This  fall,  an  exhibit  at  Hale  Library  brought  that 
experience  to  campus. 

Mary  Shelley  used  her  book,  "Frankenstein",  to  pose 
questions  about  science  and  ethics.  The  questions  Shelley 
asked  continued  to  be  relevant. 

"I  think  about  the  responsibility,"  said  Mary  Siegle, 
senior  administrative  assistant  in  the  Department  of  English. 
"(Victor  Frankenstein)  refused  to  accept  responsibility  for 
his  own  creation." 

Siegle  said  instead  of  readable  material,  she  thought  there 
would  be  more  three-dimensional  objects  in  the  exhibit 
which  was  on  display  Oct.  3  to  Nov.  15.,  but  the  timing  of 
the  exhibit  could  not  have  been  better. 

"It's  kind  of  cool  that  we  happened  to  have  it  over 
Halloween  time  when  it  drew  more  attention,"  Siegle  said. 
"There's  also  psychological  things  it  touches  in  us." 

The  exhibit  visited  80  libraries  across  the  country.  K- State 
was  one  of  the  first  stops  on  the  tour  scheduled  through  2005. 
Roger  Adams,  rare  books  librarian,  said  Hale  planned  to  have 
more  exhibits,  including  one  about  Abraham  Lincoln  and 
another  featuring  Konza  Prairie  Natural  Research  Area. 

"This  is  part  of  the  strategic  plan  to  enhance  the  image  of 
the  library,"  Adams  said.  "There  are  four  copies  of  the  exhibit 
traveling  and  we  were  one  of  the  first  four." 

Tessa  Whitaker,  junior  in  elementary  education,  said  the 
exhibit  was  informative  and  had  enhancing  photos.  She  said 
the  best  part  was  the  section  on  the  author. 

"I  really  liked  it,"  Whitaker  said.  "It  had  a  lot  of 
information  that  I  didn't  know  about  her." 

Interest  in  the  book  had  also  risen  since  the  exhibit's 
opening,  Adams  said. 

"I  know  it's  gotten  a  lot  of  people  interested  in  reading 
the  book,"  he  said.  "We  bought  several  paperback  copies  and 
they've  constantly  been  checked  out."

600 -foot-long  section  of  the  1,988-foot-long  bridge  collapsed,

Authorities  said  more  than  12  people  were  killed. 

The  bridge,  built  in  1967,  was  last  inspected  in  2001. 

1-40  was  a  major  east-west  highway.  On  average,  the  bridge 
carried  20,000  vehicles  daily  and  one  or  two  barges  passed 
under  it  each  day,  Oklahoma  Gov.  Frank  Keating  said. 

The  Oklahoma  Department  of  Transportation  asked 
travelers  to  avoid  driving  in  eastern  Oklahoma  or  to  use 
alternate  routes  —  State  Highway  9  or  U.S.  64. 

Officials  said  the  bridge  repairs  could  take  six  months 
to  one  year.

Soil  research 

Consortium  benefits  from  grant 

by  Lindsay  Porter 

K- STATE  RECEIVED  a  check  for  $15  million,  the  largest 
grant  in  university  history  at  Rannells  Ranch,  April  28. 

Provided  by  the  U.S.  Department  of  Agriculture  and 
authorized  by  Kansas  Sen.  Pat  Roberts,  the  grant  nearly 
doubled  the  amount  of  the  second-largest  grant  the  university 
has  received. 

The  money  benefited  K- State  and  the  Consortium  for 
Agricultural  Soil  Mitigation  of  Greenhouse  Gases,  and  was 
used  for  research  and  outreach  to  determine  how  agricultural 
soils  could  help  reduce  the  amount  of  carbon  dioxide  in  the 
air. 

CASMGS  comprised  10  research  institutions  and 
worked  with  research  groups  within  the  U.S.  Department 
of  Agriculture.  K-  State  was  the  lead  institution  in  the 
consortium. 

The  grant  was  awarded  over  three  years,  but  Charles  Rice, 
head  of  K-  State's  research  team,  said  he  hoped  funding  would 
continue  for  the  next  five  or  six  years. 

Roberts  discussed  soil  carbon  sequestration,  which 
reduced  build-up  of  carbon  dioxide  in  the  atmosphere  while 
improving  soil  by  conserving  carbon  in  the  soil. 

Rice  said  soil  carbon-sequestration  research  was 
important  because  carbon  dioxide  is  one  of  the  gases  in  the 
atmosphere  causing  global  warming. 

The  research  of  the  consortium  helped  determine  soil 
management  practices  that  conserved  more  carbon  in  the 
soil,  so  it  won't  escape  to  the  atmosphere,  Rice  said. 

Besides  decreasing  greenhouse  gases  in  the  atmosphere, 
carbon  sequestration  also  caused  increased  soil  fertility  and 
quality  and  reductions  in  erosion.

City  alters  traffic  flow 

by  Linclsey  Thorpe  and  Jennifer  Rezac 

BEGINNING  JULY  11,  Moro  and  Laramie  streets  limited 
traffic  to  one-way  in  the  block  between  11th  Street  and 
Manhattan  Avenue.  The  traffic  shifted  east-bound  on  Moro 
Street  from  Manhattan  Avenue  to  1 1th  Street,  and  west-bound 
on  Laramie  Street  in  the  same  block. 

Cheryl  Sieben,  Aggieville  Business  Association  director, 
said  the  purpose  of  the  change  was  to  create  more  parking. 
One-way  traffic  allowed  diagonal  parking  on  the  north  side 
of  Moro  Street,  with  parallel  parking  on  the  south  side. 

Most  Aggieville  merchants  were  happy  with  the  decision, 
Sieben  said. 

"Traffic  will  probably  run  smoother  once  people  get  used 
to  it,"  Jerry  Petty,  Public  Works  director,  said.  "The  streets 
will  be  safer  for  pedestrians."

Center  researches  ag-safety 

New  funding  allows  protection  against  threat  of  agroterrorism 


by  Lindsay  Porter  and  Lindsey  Thorpe 

received  $1.67  million  from  the  U.S.  Department 
of  Agriculture,  July  11,  to  bolster  food  and  agricultural 
homeland  security  protections.  Of  the  state's  allotment, 
K- State  received  $900,000  for  a  rapid  detection  network 
focused  on  plant  diseases. 

"This  reinforces  that  we  have  valuable  expertise  in  areas 
useful  to  solve  problems,"  said  Jerry  Jaax,  associate  vice 
provost  of  research  compliance. 

Kansas  U.S.  Sen.  Pat  Roberts  said  the  funds  represented 
a  significant  advancement  in  helping  protect  the  foundation 
of  the  economy  from  an  agroterrorism  attack. 

K- State  was  designated  as  one  of  two  large  detection 
centers  in  the  Midwest  Agricultural  Belt. 

Robert  Zeigler,  professor  of  plant  pathology,  said  the 
network  developed  in  collaboration  with  other  states  planning 
defense  and  prevention  of  agricultural  terrorism. 

He  said  K- State  was  chosen  to  lead  the  Midwest  network 
because  of  its  strong  faculty  and  research  in  the  agricultural 
community. 


"We  have  a  highly  regarded  department  of  plant  pathology 
instructors,"  Zeigler  said.  "Our  diagnostics  capabilities  are 
recognized  around  the  country  as  competent." 

Zeigler  said  basic  research  needed  to  be  generated  so 
intervention  strategies  could  be  developed  and  tested. 

"What  the  facility  will  do  is  enable  us  to  imagine  what 
kind  of  events  could  happen,  then  how  we  would  respond 
and  test,  in  a  real  life  situation,  how  effective  the  responses 
are,"  he  said.  "There  will  be  an  educational  component  to 
it  because  there  will  be  a  lot  of  original  research  conducted 
in  the  facility.  That  would  be  a  tremendous  opportunity  for 
hands-on  experience  in  research." 

K- State's  College  of  Agriculture  also  provided  the  first 
Web -based  distance  diagnostic  capacity. 

The  National  Agricultural  Biosecurity  Center,  in 
Manhattan,  studied  how  animal  and  plant  diseases  entered  the 
country,  sponsored  exercises  designed  to  hone  terror-fighting 
skills  and  set  up  a  carcass  disposal  system  if  livestock  were 
targeted.  K- State  received  $3  million  to  establish  the  center.

Station  fights  for  air, 
football  broadcasts 

by  Matt  Gorney 

ON  AUG.  22,  a  district  court  decision  allowed  WIBW- AM 
580  to  continue  broadcasting  K-State  football  games. 

At  the  end  of  2001,  the  station's  contract  expired.  However, 
when  the  university  gave  the  rights  to  Mid-America  Ag 
Network,  WIBW  went  to  court  and  cited  a  previous  decision, 
which  allowed  it  to  keep  the  rights  to  broadcast  the  games. 

After  the  2002  court  decision,  Tim  Weiser,  K-  State  athletic 
director,  said  he  was  disappointed  but  not  surprised  at  the 
decision.  He  also  said  K-  State  would  keep  fighting  and  would 
continue  to  appeal. 

Mid- America's  contract  paid  $1.2  million  per  year.  With 
the  loss  of  the  case,  the  budget  had  to  be  reworked  to  $300,000. 
Weiser  said  it  was  not  easy  for  fans  to  understand,  but  the 
issues  were  important  and  worth  fighting  for.

Billing,  tax  errors  toll  city 


Mistakes  total  $1  million  for  budget 


by  Nabil  Shaheen 

TWO  ERRORS  in  water  meter  readings  and  an  appraisal 
error  resulted  in  Manhattan  being  nearly  $1  million  over 
budget. 

In  July,  city  officials  realized  they  had  been  incorrectly 
reading  water  meters  at  Colbert  Hills  Golf  Course  for  three 
years,  under  billing  the  golf  course  $352,578.  K-  State  originally 
placed  a  six- dial  meter  at  Colbert  Hills.  Water  readers  from 
the  city  were  misinformed  that  it  was  to  be  read  as  a  five  -  dial 
meter.  While  the  city  took  blame,  Colbert  Hills  directors  said 
the  facility  realized  the  error  and  would  reimburse  the  city 
upon  agreement  of  final  finances  and  money  lost. 

One  month  later,  in  August,  the  Riley  County  Appraiser's 
office  stated  that  an  employee  reported  the  value  of  a  $59,500 
home  on  Pomeroy  Street  as  $200,059,000.  This  resulted 
in  departments  having  to  rework  budgets  to  include  the 


corrected,  assessed  value  of  Riley  County.  City  management 
and  commissioners  decided  to  use  approximately  $750,000, 
originally  scheduled  for  use  in  transportation  and  building 
renovation  projects,  to  make  up  for  the  loss.  About  28 
programs  and  departments  received  cuts  as  a  result  of  the 
overhaul,  including  the  Riley  County  Police  Department, 
which  took  the  largest  cut — $85,700. 

In  September,  the  city  discovered  another  water  meter 
error,  this  time  on  campus.  Because  of  a  malfunctioning 
outdoor  meter,  Van  Zile  Dining  Hall  was  undercharged 
almost  $  15,000.  A  monthly  water  bill  should  have  run  between 
$600-$700.  For  two  years,  Van  Zile  was  being  charged  $14.94 
a  month,  until  the  problem  was  noticed. 

Sept.  25,  Manhattan  announced  internal  restructuring 
amongst  its  utility  billing  and  meter  reading  operations.

Carr  brothers  convicted 

by  Jennifer  Rezac 

were 
found  guilty  of  four  counts  of  capital  murder  in  November, 
for  slaying  four  people  in  Wichita.  The  Carrs  faced  47  counts 
each  for  a  nine-day  crime  spree  in  Wichita,  December  2000, 
with  Reginald  facing  an  additional  three  counts  for  being  a 
felon  in  possession  of  a  firearm. 

The  most  prominent  of  the  crimes  occurred  Dec.  14-15, 
2000,  when  five  people  were  taken  to  a  soccer  field  and  shot 
in  the  back  of  the  head. 

Jason  Befort,  26,  Aaron  Sander,  29,  Bradley  Heyka,  27,  and 
Heather  Muller,  25,  died  at  the  field.  The  25 -year- old  female 
survivor  remained  unidentified,  but  testified  in  court. 

The  Carrs'  trial  began  in  September  and  ended  with  their 
Nov.  14  sentencing.  Following  seven  hours  of  deliberation, 
jurors  sentenced  the  brothers  to  death.

19-year-old  center 
closes  due  to  cuts 

by  Natalie  Gervais 

THE  K-STATE  SMALL  BUSINESS  DEVELOPMENT 
CENTER  helped  establish  northcentral  Kansas  businesses. 
The  business  center  shut  down,  Dec.  31,  after  the  College  of 
Business  Administration  withdrew  its  19 -year  support. 

Yar  Ebadi,  dean  of  the  College  of  Business  Administration, 
said  the  college  needed  to  cut  funds  to  the  center  because  of 
drastic  budget  cuts. 

The  business  center  looked  to  other  organizations  for 
funds,  but  was  already  struggling  with  expenses  before  the 
decision.  Fred  Rice,  director  of  the  business  center,  said  they 
did  not  have  enough  funds  to  travel  to  other  counties.  Business 
owners  had  to  travel  to  Manhattan  to  share  their  struggles. 

Over  the  years,  the  center  helped  36,300  people  in  44 
counties.  The  business  center  worked  with  anyone  who 
wanted  to  start  a  business  or  needed  guidance.  Services  were 
free  and  confidential.  After  closing,  counseling  and  training 
programs  continued  under  the  direction  of  Barta  Stevenson, 
assistant  director  of  the  business  center.

Columbia  explodes 

NASA  shuttle,  astronauts  lost  during  re-entry 

by  Jacob  Walker 

its  scheduled  landing,  Feb.  1,  at  the 
Kennedy  Space  Center,  the  space  shuttle  Columbia  disinte- 
grated in  the  sky  above  Texas,  killing  the  seven -member  crew. 
Scattered  across  Texas  and  Louisiana,  debris  was  collected  for 
weeks  after  the  tragedy. 

Commander  Rick  Husband;  pilot  William  McCool; 
payload  commander  Michael  Anderson;  mission  specialists 
David  Brown,  Laurel  Clark,  Kal- 
pana  Chawla  and  the  first  Israeli 
astronaut,  Ilan  Ramon,  constituted 
the  crew. 

An  independent  group  of  inves- 
tigators, led  by  retired  U.S.  Navy 
Adm.  Harold  Gehman,  analyzed 
the  accident.  Theories  circulated, 
among  them  that  a  piece  of  insu- 
lation foam  seen  bouncing  off  the 
left  wing  of  the  shuttle  before  lift- 
off somehow  damaged  the  heat  resistant  ceramic  tiles  on  the 
wing. 

The  Columbia  disaster  occurred  four  days  after  the  17th 
anniversary  of  the  explosion  of  the  space  shuttle  Challenger, 
Jan.  28,  1986. 

Subsequent  space  shuttle  launches  were  delayed  until  the 
cause  of  Columbia's  break-up  was  determined,  but  President 
George  W.  Bush  assured  the  nation  the  space  program  would 
continue.  The  delays  affected  the  crew  of  the  international 
space  station,  which  was  scheduled  to  return  to  Earth 
March  1.  NASA  said  the  crew  had  enough  supplies  to  last 
through  the  end  of  June.

War  on  terror 

Protesters,  supporters  rally 

by  Lindsey  Thorpe 

ADDRESSING  THE  NATION  and  the  world  March  17, 
President  Bush  gave  Saddam  Hussein  and  his  sons  48  hours 
to  leave  Iraq,  or  face  war. 

Bush  said  risks  of  inaction  would  be  far  greater  in  the 
future  if  not  stopped.  Peaceful  efforts  of  diplomacy  had  failed, 
he  said,  and  the  security  of  the  world  required  disarming 
Hussein  at  the  present  time,  instead  of  waiting  for  the  removal 
of  weapons  of  mass  destruction. 

According  to  The  New  York  Times,  roughly  90  minutes 
after  the  ultimatum  expired,  American  forces  fired  the  first 
shots  of  the  campaign  to  remove  Hussein  by  force. 

After  the  war  began,  demonstrators,  both  for  and  against 
the  war,  organized  protests  across  the  nation.  Though  many 
protests  were  peaceful,  some  required  intervention,  like  one 
protest  in  San  Francisco.  Hay  bales  were  set  on  fire  in  the  streets 
around  the  Transamerica  Building  and  police -car  windows 
all  over  town  were  smashed.  Police  made  1,350  arrests  —  the 
highest  one -day  total  in  the  history  of  the  city.

LACEYBEAMON,  sopho- 
more in  medical  technol- 
ogy, practices  a  jump  with 
Jennifer  Rifford,  senior 
in  theater,  during  their 
ballet  class.  "They  do  it  be- 
cause they  love  it.  When 
they  graduate  they'll  have 
to  sit  in  an  office  and  they 
won't  be  able  to  dance  as 
much,"  said  Joyce  Yager- 
line,  associate  professor  of 
dance.  —  Photo  by

Yagerline  said  she  didn't  expect  the  dancers  in  her  ballet 
classes  to  become  professionals  because  K- State  is  a  liberal 
arts  university  with  a  broad-based  curriculum. 

"Few  want  to  be  (professionals)  and  probably  few  can," 
she  said.  "What  I'm  expecting  them  to  get  out  of  this  class 
is  an  enjoyment  and  a  love  for  dancing.  I  also  want  them  to 
develop  discipline  and  perseverance,  to  work  hard,  enjoy  the 
art  form,  learn  about  their  bodies  and  what  their  bodies  can 
do." 

Among  her  different  level  classes,  dance  majors  made 
up  only  a  part  of  the  participants.  Some  people  outside  the 
dance  program  took  it  as  a  stress  reliever,  and  others  because 
they  had  been  doing  it  since  they  were  young  and  did  not 
want  to  quit. 

"I  love  to  dance,"  Jenny  Ludes,  sophomore  in  business 
administration,  said.  "I  have  been  doing  it  since  I  was  4.  It's 
my  passion.  In  college  it  isn't  a  typical  class.  It's  a  release 
going  to  dance  and  being  able  to  dance  and  leave  with  no 
homework." 

In  the  classroom,  Yagerline  said  she  was  a  tough  teacher. 

"I  am  passionate  about  ballet,"  Yagerline  said.  "I  am  a 
hard  teacher  -  very  strict  -  because  I  know  what  it's  like  to 
be  in  the  real  world  dancing." 

Yagerline  has  been  dancing  for  36  years,  13  profession- 
ally. 

"We  are  very  fortunate  to  have  Joyce,"  Abby  Williamson, 
sophomore  in  theater,  said.  "She's  danced  for  years,  and  is 
amazing.  She  gives  us  individual  attention  and  tells  you  what 
you  need  to  correct." 

As  the  music  played  and  the  girls  worked  under  the 
watchful  eyes  of  Yagerline,  she  corrected  their  movements 
and  helped  them  understand  what  they  were  doing  wrong. 

"Ballet  looks  easy,  but  it's  harder  than  it  looks. 

"You  have  to  work  at  it  to  make  it  look  easy,"  Yagerline 
said.  "It  can  also  be  compared  to  meditation,  because  you  are 
singularly  focused  on  one  thing.  Nothing  else  matters  and 
nothing  else  exists  in  that  moment.  It's  kind  of  like  you're  a 
channel  between  God  or  the  universe  and  the  earth."

he  downward  dog,  corpse,  warrior  and  mountain  —  these 
postures  constituted  a  small  branch  of  the  numerous 
limbs  of  yoga. 

Yoga,  a  Hindu  philosophy  teaching  control  of  the  body 
and  mind  to  achieve  spiritual  insight  and  tranquility,  proved 
to  be  a  life  saver  for  stressed -out  students. 

"Yoga  means  right  relationship,"  Erika  Jensen,  graduate 
student  in  entomology,  said.  "Having  the  right  relationship 
internally  between  the  body,  mind  and  spirit,  as  well  as 
externally  with  other  people." 

Students  said  yoga  not  only  provided  mental  and  spiritual 
insight,  but  gave  physical  benefits  as  well. 

"Yoga  is  a  practical  way  to  lead  a  happy  and  stress-free 
life,"  Ana  Franklin,  UFM  instructor,  said.  "I've  had  people 
say  that  because  of  yoga,  they  have  less  headaches,  feel  more 
rested,  less  stressed,  it's  easier  to  focus  and  it's  easier  to  not 
be  distracted." 

Franklin  said  her  students  experienced  the  benefits  of 
yoga,  and  it  helped  them  get  in  touch  with  their  feelings  and 
the  world  around  them. 

"Yoga  calms  me,"  Monica  Clement,  geology  instructor, 
said.  "Practice  has  become  a  crucial  part  of  who  I  am." 

Though  some  were  wary  of  yoga  because  of  contorted 
positions,  Franklin  said  it  was  really  for  the  mind.  The  physical 
aspects  and  benefits  were  a  benefit  of  practice  as  a  whole. 

"Many  people  have  the  misconception  that  yoga  is  for  the 
body,"  Franklin  said.  "But  in  fact,  the  use  of  the  body  in  yoga  is 
only  for  focusing  the  mind  and  understanding  the  self  better. 
It's  not  for  the  purpose  of  having  a  Jane  Fonda  figure.  If  all  you 
want  is  a  nice  body,  you  should  go  do  aerobics." 

Having  a  good  experience  with  yoga  could  depend  on  the 
teacher  you  follow,  Franklin  said.  She  said  students  should 
find  out  who  the  teacher  studied  with. 

Students  dedicated  to  yoga  found  regular  practice  helped 
center  and  ground  them  in  a  world  of  sensational  stimuli. 

"We  get  drawn  outside  of  ourselves  by  our  senses.  We 
forget  that  there's  something  here,  inside,"  Franklin  said. 
"When  someone  reintroduces  us  to  our  inner  lives,  our 
true  center,  the  joy  in  our  hearts  towers  over  all  those  other 
distractions,  so  much  so  that  we  learn  to  love  it  and  want  to  go 
back  to  it  every  day.  That's  what  yoga's  about  —  reconnecting 
and  reintegrating  with  your  true  self." 


THREE  STUDENTS  in  Ana 
Franklin's  yoga  class, 
practice  breathing.  "If  you 
come  to  class  once  or  twice 
a  week,  you'll  feel  some 
benefits,  but  nothing  to 
the  extent  that  people  who 
practice  on  a  regular  basis 
feel,"  Franklin  said.  "The 
point  of  yoga  is  to  practice."

personality  fused 

into  style  of  artwork 

Figure  drawing,  oil  painting,  ceramics  and  sculpture 
classes  taught  art  majors  methods  of  creating  visual 
masterpieces. 

During  their  first  two  years  in  the  fine  arts  program, 
students  enrolled  in  survey  courses,  2-D  and  3-D  design 
courses  and  drawing. 

Robin  Mabie,  senior  in  fine  arts,  said  those  courses  were 
structured  to  compare  different  techniques. 

"Beginning  level  classes  —  they're  pre -classes  before  you 
can  declare  your  emphasis  —  need  to  be  structured  to  move 
further  along  in  your  art  career,"  she  said. 

Mabie  enrolled  in  "Oil  Painting"  and  "Drawing  II" 
during  fall  semester  while  Allison  Becker,  junior  in  fine  arts, 
studied  "Figure  Drawing." 

Though  Becker  had  little  time  to  draw  for  fun,  she  said 
figure  drawing  was  key  in  perfecting  her  skills. 

"Figure  drawing  is  the  basis  for  all  art,"  Becker  said.  "It's 
good  to  get  a  good  hold  on  that  before  anything  else." 

Putting  her  heart  into  her  art,  Becker  said  her  personality 
showed  in  her  work. 

"Allison's  artwork  gives  you  a  window  into  a  whole  other 
side  of  her,"  Tyler  Dirks,  junior  in  fine  arts,  said.  "I  guess  you 
could  say  she's  reserved,  but  her  art  has  a  more  playful  and 
creative  energy." 

Though  she  appreciated  professional  artists,  Becker 
said  she  believed  her  biggest  inspiration  came  from  other 
students. 

"Critiquing  is  a  huge  part  of  class,"  Becker  said.  "It's 
important  to  be  able  to  pick  out  good  and  bad  elements  of 
other  students'  work  and  apply  them  to  yours."

Budget  cut,  tuition  rises 


by  Michelle  Wilmes 


Despite  tuition  rise, 
student  numbers  grow 


DESPITE  INCREASED  TUITION,  enrollment  rose  to  an  all-time 
university  high  —  22,762  students. 

"I  expected  there  to  be  a  decrease  in  numbers,"  Donald  Foster, 
university  registrar  said.  "Some  students  may  not  have  returned  because 
of  the  increase  in  tuition,  but  enrollment  is  at  the  highest  it  has  ever  been. 
We  had  almost  400  more  students  this  year  than  we  did  last  year." 

After  the  Kansas  Legislature  reduced  the  amount  of  money  allocated 
to  the  university,  the  first  step  in  budgeting  was  to  increase  tuition  and 
assess  fees  to  departments,  Foster  said. 

"As  soon  as  we  knew  there  was  going  to  be  a  decrease  in  funding, 
we  knew  we  had  to  compromise  somehow,"  Foster  said.  "That's  why  we 
added  the  extra  fees  and  increased  the  tuition.  Other  than  salaries,  the 
main  field  that  the  increase  went  toward  was  technology." 

To  offset  the  tuition  increase,  Rachel  Trowbridge,  freshman  in  family 
studies  and  human  services,  said  she  worked 
harder  to  budget  her  money. 

"After  I  found  out  that  the  tuition  was 
going  to  increase,  I  knew  I  needed  to  apply  for 
additional  scholarships,"  Trowbridge  said.  "By 
doing  this,  I  received  more  scholarships  and  I  was  able  to  make  up  the 
difference." 

Although  K- State  experienced  a  25.1 -percent  increase  in  tuition 
—  well  above  the  9.6 -percent  national  average  —  the  tuition  was  still 
in  the  lower  38  percent  nationally,  annually  paying  less  than  $4,000  for 
tuition  and  fees. 

Tyler  Breeden,  senior  in  agricultural  economics,  said  due  to  the 
budget  cuts  the  income  generated  from  increases  in  tuition  was  only 
maintaining  the  current  levels  of  education,  rather  than  improving 
them. 

"The  decreased  budget  has  limited  short-term  improvements  for 
technology  in  the  classroom  and  has  also  led  to  fewer  class  offerings," 
Breeden  said.  "However,  the  budget  cuts  reduced  the  number  of  faculty 
members  and  therefore  class  sizes  went  up  and  the  number  of  times  that 
classes  were  offered  might  have  been  limited.  Having  less  faculty  resulted 
in  larger  numbers  of  students  per  adviser,  and  students  could  potentially 
lose  valuable  time  with  a  mentor. 

"Overall,  Kansas  State  University  is  an  outstanding  institution  and 
will  continue  to  thrive  despite  these  short-term  setbacks."

sking  for  help  with  classes  may  not  have 
kbeen  easy  for  students  who  were  used  to 
being  independent  studiers. 

Even  for  those  students,  the  Academic  Assis- 
tance Center  offered  free  instruction  in  more 
than  100  subjects. 

Tutors  were  hired  on  the  basis  of  at  least  a 
3.0  GPA  and  As  or  Bs  in  the  subject  they  were 
helping  with,  said  Adam  Kujawa,  tutoring 
center  director  and  graduate  student  in  business 
administration. 

Knowledge  was  not  the  only  requirement 
for  tutoring,  said  Eric  Castaneda,  senior  in 
secondary  education  and  modern  languages. 

"You  have  to  like  teaching  and  working  with 
people,"  he  said. 

Kujawa  said  math  and  science  were  the 
subjects  students  most  needed  help  with. 

Louis  Novak,  junior  in  journalism  and  mass 


communications,  said  his  college  algebra  tutor, 
Castaneda,  was  helpful  and  made  the  material 
easier  to  understand. 

"Tutors  break  it  down  into  a  smaller 
setting,"  Novak  said.  "(Castaneda)  has  given  me 
confidence  to  help  get  through  it  and  has  broken 
it  down  to  help  me  understand  it." 

Novak  said  that  in  small  groups  of  five  to 
seven,  students  got  one -on -one  help. 

The  offices  for  the  academic  and  tutoring 
centers  and  tutorial  assistance  were  in  Holten 
Hall.  Tutors  were  matched  on  the  basis  of 
availability. 

Although  tutoring  hours  were  from  8  a.m. 
to  5  p.m.  many  tutors  spent  more  time  helping 
students,  Castaneda  said. 

"We  do  close  at  five  o'clock,"  Castaneda  said, 
"but  I  have  no  problem  staying  past  five  to  help 
out,  if  the  student  is  willing."

Evaluations  guide  instructors'  performance 

ROLES  WERE  REVERSED  when  students  critiqued 
instructors  for  teaching  effectiveness.  Teacher  evaluations 
were  distributed  during  classes  so  students  could  judge  their 
instructors'  performances  over  the  semester. 

"This  entire  process  exists  for  not  only  students'  benefits  but 
also  for  the  instructors',"  said  Renee  Fonferko,  administrative 
assistant  for  the  A.Q.  Miller  School  of  Journalism  and  Mass 
Communications.  "The  instructor  can  gain  helpful  insight  as 
to  how  to  teach  the  class  better  the  next  time  around." 

The  anonymous  student  evaluations,  called  TEVALS, 
asked  students  14  questions  broken  down  into  two  categories 
—  rating  the  instructor  and  rating  themselves.  Students  were 
given  the  opportunity  to  write  additional  comments. 

"I  really  do  read  them,"  David  Fallin,  instructor  in 
marketing,  said.  "I  look  at  every  one  of  them.  Some  comments 
are  ridiculous;  such  as  'the  tests  are  too  hard,'  but  I  have  gotten 
some  good  ideas." 

IDEA,  another  teacher  evaluation  used  in  some  classes, 
was  more  detailed  and  had  more  questions  than  the  TEVAL 
forms. 

"If  a  faculty  member  needs  something  quick  and  easy, 
a  TEVAL  will  give  the  department  head  a  good  idea  of 
their  teaching,"  said  Victoria  Clegg,  director  of  the  Center 
of  Advancement  for  Teaching  and  Learning.  "If  a  faculty 
member  needs  more  specific  information,  IDEA  is  a  better 
evaluation  to  use." 


ERICA  ECKELMAN,  fresh- 
man in  business  adminis- 
tration, fills  out  a  teacher 
evaluation  during  her 
Environmental  Geography 
Lab  class.  "Many  students 
do  not  take  TEVALS 
seriously, "  said  Renee 
Fonferko,  administrative 
assistant  for  the  A.Q.  Miller 
School  of  Journalism  and 
Mass  Communications.

to  see  this  as  a  beneficial

than  classes  and  professors.  Internships  helped  students 
explore  life  after  graduation  and  University  Recognition,  a 
program  matching  internships  to  students,  provided  a  first 
step  to  getting  the  right  experience. 

"University  Recognition  lets  students  combine  academics 
and  work  experience  while  being  a  full-time  student,"  Mary 
Ellen  Barkley,  Career  and  Employment  Services  coordinator, 
said.  "It  provides  experience  that  is  not  readily  available  in 
course  work." 

Megan  Mayo,  senior  in  human  ecology  and  mass 
communications,  said  her  internship  at  the  Manhattan 
Convention  and  Visitors  Bureau  allowed  her  to 
work  on  a  variety  of  projects. 

"I've  worked  there  for  two  years,"  she  said.  "I 
learned  so  much  about  myself  and  gained  skills 
that  will  be  helpful  in  my  professional  career." 

Ashley  Presley,  leadership  intern  at  the  Manhattan 
Area  Chamber  of  Commerce,  said  she  would  recommend 
internships  to  others,  even  if  the  internship  wasn't  related  to 
career  objectives. 

"Everything  I've  learned  —  organization  and  deadlines 
—  has  been  beneficial,"  the  junior  in  elementary  education 
said.  "Internship  bosses  are  willing  to  help  you  learn."

animal  care 

THE  JOB 


by  Lisa  Solomon 


Research  units  provide  employment  opportunities 

OPPORTUNITIES  FOR  HANDS-ON  RESEARCH  and 
animal  care  were  provided  to  students  through  six  breeding 
units  operated  by  the  Department  of  Animal  Sciences  and 
Industry. 

The  animal  units  were  created  as  a  research  center  for 
different  types  of  livestock. 

Jack  Riley,  animal  sciences  and  industry  department 
head,  said  most  of  the  units  used  students  for  part-time  la- 
bor where  students  worked  one-on-one  with  the  animals. 

The  breeding  program  constituted  six  units  housing 
swine,  sheep,  poultry,  horses,  and  beef  and  dairy  cattle.  Ani- 
mal sciences  and  industry  professor  John  Shirley  said  most 
units  arose  in  the  late  1950s  and  early  1960s,  with  the  excep- 
tion of  the  dairy  unit,  which  was  created  in  the  late  1800s. 

Rachael  Gager,  a  student  worker  for  the  sheep  unit  and 
graduate  student  in  animal  sciences  and  industry,  had  been 
working  at  the  unit  since  her  junior  year. 

"I  transferred  from  Colby  Community  College  and 
needed  a  job,"  Gager  said.  "I  raised  sheep  back  home  and 
was  first  offered  a  position  painting  at  the  unit." 

Gager  attained  the  position  of  shepherdess  in  January 
2002,  which  required  living  at  the  facility.  Her  typical  day 
started  at  6:30  a.m.  to  feed  and  care  for  the  sheep.  After 
chores,  Gager  attended  a  full  day  of  classes  and  returned 
home  at  the  end  of  the  day  to  complete  chores  once  more. 

Gager  said  her  favorite  part  of  the  job  was  having  the  op- 
portunity to  work  with  the  sheep  and  take  care  of  the  lambs. 
She  oversaw  three  student  employees  with  the  help  of  animal 
sciences  and  industry  professor  Clifford  Spaeth. 

Horse  unit  manager  David  McClure  also  used  students 
for  part-time  labor. 

"It's  a  good  experience  for  the  students,"  McClure  said. 
"It's  kind  of  like  a  crash  course  in  management,  as  our  stu- 
dents always  have  to  keep  an  eye  on  the  horses." 

Duane  Davis,  animal  sciences  and  industry  professor, 
agreed  student  involvement  was  valued  in  all  aspects  of  the 
operation. 

With  a  desire  to  work  in  Research  and  Extension,  Gager 
said  the  skills  she  picked  up  helped  her  career  path. 

"I  have  gained  people  skills  from  overseeing  employees, 
as  well  as  working  with  other  sheep  breeders  and  faculty 
members,"  Gager  said.  "I  learn  something  new  every  day."

Konza's  blooming  Daisy 


by  Lindsey  Jones 


"DAISY!  DAISY!" 

Thomas  Van  Slyke,  site  manager  at  Konza  Prairie  Research 
Natural  Area,  called  out  to  the  18-month-old  buffalo. 

Following  a  deep,  rumbling  grunt,  a  furry  head  poked 
around  a  tarped  panel  inside  the  bison  corral. 

"She's  friendly,"  Van  Slyke  said,  "but  sometimes  she's  a 
little  too  friendly.  We  don't  relish  having  orphans  because  we 
don't  want  it  to  be  a  problem  for  safety.  You  want  them  to  be 
naturally  stand-offish." 

Daisy  was  orphaned  shortly  after  birth.  Van  Slyke  said 
survival  for  orphans  in  the  wild  was  low.  Even  when  Konza 
personnel  cared  for  orphaned  calves,  the  survival  rate  was 
only  50  percent. 

To  care  for  Daisy,  Van  Slyke  worked  with  K-  State  students 
and  James  Larkins,  foreman  for  Konza.  Along  with  general 
maintenance,  the  students  helped  with  orphaned  calves, 
tagging,  weighing  and  sorting  to  sell. 

"The  students  help  with  everything,"  Van  Slyke  said. 
"They're  very  valuable  to  us." 

Alex  Miller,  senior  in  agronomy, 
said  he  helped  care  for  Daisy  when 
she  was  young. 

"I  helped  bottle  feed  her  milk 
in  the  morning,"  Miller  said,  "and  I  fed  her  when  she  could 
eat  feed."

Sometimes  new  bison  were  introduced  into  the  herd. 

"It's  not  to  become  more  purebred,"  Larkins  said.  "It's  for 
diversity.  We  don't  want  them  to  become  too  inbred."

Though  they  have  only  had  to  raise  a  few  orphans  at 
Konza,  Van  Slyke  said  orphans  were  a  common  occurrence, 
especially  for  first-time  mothers. 

"Sometimes  the  mother  will  lose  the  calf,"  Van  Slyke  said. 
"Or  if  it's  the  first  calf  that  she's  had,  she'll  just  abandon  the 
calf.  It's  not  unusual." 

Van  Slyke  said  feeding  a  young  animal  tended  to  make 
them  bond  with  humans,  but  most  orphans  adapted  to  the 
herd  fairly  easily. 

"What  usually  happens  is  that  they  assimilate  into  the  herd 
as  the  herd  comes  and  goes  from  the  corral,  which  it  does  all 
the  time,"  Van  Slyke  said.  "There  are  individuals  in  and  out 
daily,  so  they'll  take  off  and  go  with  the  herd." 

Though  Miller  said  he  wasn't  too  fond  of  the  bison 
initially,  he  had  learned  to  appreciate  them. 

"At  first  I  didn't  really  care  for  them  because  I  had  been 
around  cattle  a  lot,"  Miller  said,  "but  I  think  they've  got  their 
place.  They're  pretty  neat  animals."

Gardens  undergo  renovations,  offer  place  to  learn,  relax 


HIDDEN  BETWEEN  the  bustle  of  people  and  traffic  at 
K- State  was  a  place  of  tranquility  and  beauty  —  the  Kansas 
State  University  Gardens. 

Gregg  Eyestone,  associate  director  of  the  Gardens,  said  the 
project  was  important  to  the  university  and  had  potential  to 
be  one  of  the  main  attractions. 

"If  you  look  at  other  universities  with  or  without 
horticulture  programs,  they  have  or  are  establishing  botanical 
gardens,"  Eyestone  said.  "To  compete  for  students  and  faculty, 
it  is  a  needed  resource.  Horticulture  students  study  the  plants 
for  course  work,  where  non-horticulture  students  visit  the 
gardens  for  enjoyment." 

Scott  McElwain,  gardens  director,  said  working  in  the 
gardens  gave  students  training  for  greenhouse  management, 
landscape  design  and  horticulture  science. 

"Students  use  the  gardens  for  study  -  such  as  plant 
identification  -  and  for  hands-on  training,"  McElwain  said. 
"The  Gardens  are  an  outdoor  laboratory." 

McElwain  said  students  worked  there  throughout  the 
school  year  and  during  breaks.  Marie  Noll,  junior  in  animal 
sciences  and  industry  and  student  worker  at  the  Gardens,  said 
the  job  fit  her  well. 

"I  work  there  because  it's  really  relaxing  and  convenient," 
Noll  said.  "It's  right  on  campus,  the  hours  are  flexible  and  I 
like  to  work  outdoors." 

Horticultural  students,  along  with  a  full-  and  part-time 
staff  and  volunteers,  maintained  the  gardens,  Eyestone  said. 
He  said  departments,  including  Landscape  Architecture 
and  Human  Ecology,  visited  the  gardens  for  educational 
purposes.

ATTACHING  THE  STRING 
to  the  display  cage, 
Michelle  Kaczmarek, 
graduate  student  in  ento- 
mology, hangs  butterfly 
larvae  in  the  butterfly 
conservatory.  New  larvae 
came  in  each  week.  Once 
in,  Kaczmarek  used  hot 
glue  to  fasten  the  larvae 
to  strings  and  put  them  in 
the  conservatory  so  they 
could  hatch  and  fly  about. 
Some  insects  were  pur- 
chased for  as  little  as  $5, 
but  the  more  exotic  ones 

—  such  as  the  rarer  taran- 
tulas or  large  centipedes 

—  cost  as  much  as  $300. 
"In  terms  of  variety,  by 
the  time  we  are  finished 
here,  we  will  have  a  better 
variety  of  insects  at  this 
insect  zoo  than  most  any 
place  in  the  country,"  said 
Ralph  Charlton,  director  of 
the  Butterfly  Conservatory 
and  Insect  Zoo.  —  Photo

THE  NEWEST  ZOO  in  Manhattan  was  in  the  top  10 
places  to  visit  in  the  United  States  before  it  opened,  accord- 
ing to  USA  Today.  On  Oct.  18,  President  Jon  Wefald  and  rep- 
resentatives from  the  Department  of  Entomology  dedicated 
the  Insect  Zoo  as  an  addition  to  the  Butterfly  Conservatory 
and  KSU  Gardens. 

"We  are  incredibly  pleased  to  be  part  of  this  prestigious  list," 
said  Ralph  Charlton,  director  of  the  Butterfly  Conservatory 
and  Insect  Zoo,  "especially  considering  that  the  K-  State  Insect 
Zoo  is  the  only  one  among  the  top  10  that  is  affiliated  with  a 
university,  and  is  not  a  commercial  venture." 

Sonny  Ramaswamy,  professor  and  head  of  the  Department 
of  Entomology,  said  the  zoo  had  an  estimated  100  species  of 
insects  in  addition  to  pinned  specimens  of  butterflies,  moths, 
and  beetles,  and  planned  on  adding  more. 

"We  have  an  amazing  collection,  one  of  the  best  anywhere," 
Ramaswamy  said.  "We  breed  them  and  they  make  babies,  lots 
of  babies  and  the  babies  are  sold." 

In  the  zoo,  visitors  were  greeted  with  a  rainforest  display 
showcasing  different  insects.  Following  the  path  through 
the  building,  people  learned  from  posters  and 
exhibits  of  various  species  of  bugs. 

Another  feature  was  a  mock  kitchen,  which 
included  live  insects  to  give  visitors  an  idea  of 
what  could  be  lurking  in  their  kitchen. 

Finishing  out  the  tour  was  a  cave  atmosphere  complete 
with  glowing  scorpions  and  the  collection  of  tarantulas  that 
Ramaswamy  said  was  the  best  in  any  insect  zoo. 

"It's  a  big  educational  tool,"  Michelle  Kaczmarek,  graduate 
student  in  entomology,  said.  "We  have  so  many  different 
species,  and  just  to  learn  about  them  is  a  great  experience."

tough  bugs 


uper  bugs  invaded  K- State's  entomology  research.  The 
writhing  insects  plagued  agricultural  crops  and  defied 
pesticides  by  becoming  resistant  to  the  toxins. 

Three  types  of  pesticides  exist  —  contact,  stomach  and 
airborne  toxins. 

"Nerve  poisons  are  in  most  insecticides,"  Sonny  Ramas- 
wamy,  head  of  entomology,  said.  "Be  sure  to  read  the  back 
of  the  insecticide  label  to  make  sure  it  doesn't  harm  your 
plant." 

Ramaswamy  said  insects  were  placed  in  different  classes 
depending  on  their  resistance  levels.  Gerald  Wilde,  profes- 
sor of  entomology,  said  there  were  more  than  500  pesticide - 
resistant  insects. 

"Insects  have  durability  to  insecticides,"  Wilde  said. 
"When  you  spray,  you  select  those  individual  genes.  This  is 
called  selection  process." 

Some  insects,  like  cockroaches,  formed  a  thicker  exo- 
skeleton  to  escape  the  effects  of  insecticide.  They  developed 
resistance  rapidly  to  several  insecticides,  Ramaswamy  said. 

"Biochemical  resistance  modifies  the  nervous  system 
component,"  he  said.  "It  also  modifies  the  metabolic  com- 
ponent as  well." 

While  many  studies  involved  insect  resistance  at  K- State, 
one  of  the  more  popular  studies  was  the  Bacilus  Thuringien- 
sis  corn  study.  BT  was  a  chemical  toxin  engineered  into  corn 
crops  that  killed  the  insects  feeding  on  corn,  Ramaswamy 
said.  Thirty  percent  of  the  corn  grown  in  Kansas  in  2002 
was  BT-Corn. 


BY  ADDING  ALCOHOL 
with  insecticide  to  petrie 
dishes  containing  bugs, 
Gerald  Wilde,  professor  in 
entomology,  is  able  to  tell 
which  bugs  are  resistant 
to  insecticides.  "By  testing 
a  number  of  different  con- 
centrations, we  are  able 
to  find  the  concentration 
which  will  kill  50  percent 
of  the  bugs,"  Wilde  said.

Cancer  Research  Center  dedicated  to  founder 

TERRY  JOHNSON,  founder  of  the  Basic  Cancer  Research 
Center,  died  of  liver  cancer  Oct.  27,  22  years  after  he  started 
the  non-profit  organization. 

The  center,  which  was  renamed  the  Terry  C.  Johnson 

Center  for  Basic  Cancer  Research  after  his  death,  moved 

into  Chalmers  Hall,  a  new  facility,  on  Sept.  30.  Prior  to  his 

passing,  Johnson  had  said  the  addition  would  be 

significant  for  the  center. 

"The  cancer  center  is  the  successful  entity 
that  it  is  because  of  Terry  Johnson,"  Janis 
Galitzer,  administrative  assistant  at  the  center, 
said.  "He  was  a  good  leader  and  a  good  friend." 
Chalmers  Hall,  named  in  honor  of  John 
Chalmers,  former  dean  of  the  College  of  Arts  and 
Sciences,  provided  laboratories  for  the  research 
center  in  the  56,000-square-foot  addition  to 
Ackert  Hall. 

Unlike  other  research  centers,  which  involved 
graduate  students,  Galitzer  said  the  center 
primarily  worked  with  undergraduates. 

An  award  program  gave  $500  to  each  student  and  $500 
to  the  faculty  member  working  with  the  student.  Granting 
more  than  $250,000  in  21  years,  the  money  was  used  to  assist 
research. 

"Undergraduates  work  with  a  faculty  mentor,"  Galitzer 
said.  "We  encourage  conversation  between  people  in  different 
disciplines." 

Though  the  center  focused  on  facilitating  research 
awards,  its  mission  included  community  outreach,  enhancing 
education  and  the  advancement  of  research. 

Cancer  researcher  Richard  Baybutt,  associate  professor 
in  human  nutrition,  studied  rats  to  investigate  the  effects  of 
cigarette  smoking. 

"Students  are  involved  in  a  number  of  ways,"  Baybutt  said. 
"They  take  care  of  the  animals  and  work  on  the  analysis." 

Delores  Takemoto,  biochemistry  professor,  worked  with 
undergraduate  students  for  Takemoto's  research  which 
involved  dietary  components  and  colon  cancer. 

"The  cancer  center  has  done  a  really  good  job  with 
outreach  onto  campus,"  Takemoto  said.  "It  introduces  a 
large  number  of  students  to  research."

MOOD5HIFTS 

Students  use  counseling,  medication  to  help  disorder 

by  Jennifer  Newberry 

THE  OCT.  31  SNOW  caused  a  mood  change  for  Ashley 
Hall,  freshman  in  open-option.  A  sufferer  of  seasonal 
depression,  her  mood  fluctuated  between  sadness  and 
happiness,  depending  on  the  amount  of  sunlight  outside. 

Nearly  45  percent  of  students  reported  some  form  of 
depression,  including  seasonal  depression  and  bipolar 
disorder.  Of  the  946  clients  seen  by  University  Counseling 
Services,  420  showed  signs  of  depression. 

"About  one -third  get  treatment  for  their  symptoms,"  Jeana 
Magyar-Moe,  psychology  intern  at  Counseling  Services,  said. 
"We  don't  see  everyone,  because  they're  not  coming  in." 

Bipolar  disorder  affected  nearly  2.3  million  Americans. 
K- State's  population  reflected  the  national  average  of  0.81 
percent  for  those  with  bipolar  disorder,  Barbara  Pearson, 
psychologist  at  Counseling  Services,  said. 

Bipolar  was  the  third  most  common  mood  disorder 
nationally,  according  to  Psychiatry24x7.com.  Offset  by  mania, 
bipolar  disorder  swings  from  extremes  of  being  excessively 
elated  to  being  gloomy  and  hopeless. 

"In  general,  a  person  will  have  little  motivation  to  get  out 
of  bed  and  go  to  class,"  Magyar-Moe  said.  "They  get  behind 
in  their  classes  and  don't  feel  very  happy  when  it  happens.  It's 
a  negative  cycle." 

Depression  and  bipolar  disorder  affected  students  when 
it  came  to  studying  and  paying  attention  in  classes  because 
both  interfered  with  concentration. 

"When  you're  dealing  with  extreme  emotions,  it's  hard  to 
study,"  Hall  said.  "Your  concentration  gets  depleted.  It's  hard 
to  do  anything  for  long  periods  of  time." 

Treating  bipolar  and  depression  depended  on  the  person's 
needs.  Counseling  Services  used  a  variety  of  techniques, 
including  biofeedback  and  bibliotherapy. 

"The  biggest  step  is  to  come  in  and  say  what's  going  on," 
Magyar-Moe  said.  "We  help  them  to  understand  what's 
happening  to  them.  Those  that  need  medication,  we  refer  to 
a  psychiatrist." 

Understanding  limitations  helped  recovery,  Hall  said. 

"People  can't  always  deal  with  this  like  I  do,"  she  said.  "I 
don't  like  to  take  medication,  so  I  don't.  If  you  don't  have  a 
very  good  understanding  of  your  limitations  then  you  need  to 
take  things  slowly  and  be  on  medication  or  in  therapy."

visa  mishap  sends  professor  home 


C/3 

IS 


After  budget  cuts  forced  his  three-year  stint  at  the 
University  of  Washington  to  end,  Stephen  Glaister, 
assistant  professor  of  philosophy,  came  east. 

As  the  native  New  Zealander  arrived  in  Manhattan  in  early 
August,  he  realized  the  paperwork  for  his  soon-to-be-expired 
work  visa  had  not  yet  been  processed. 

"He  arrived  and  we  had  a  conversation  and  he  realized 
that  we  had  not  done  something  on  time  and  he  told  us," 
James  Hamilton,  head  of  the  Department  of  Philosophy,  said. 
"We  tried  to  figure  out  any  way  we  could  to  not  have  to  send 
him  home.  Within  a  day  or  two,  we  realized  that  we  had  no 
alternative. 

"The  only  way  that  was  safe  for  him  and  for  us  so  that  both 
he  and  we  were  clear  and  clean  and  innocent  in  the  eyes  of  the 
INS  was  for  him  to  go  home  and  reapply  for  entry." 

So  K- State  paid  for  his  flight  back  to  Auckland,  New 
Zealand  and  Glaister  stayed  with  his  family  for  about  five 
weeks  with  no  salary;  living  off  his  credit  cards. 

During  those  five  weeks,  Hamilton  and  Marcelo  Sabates, 
associate  professor  of  philosophy,  took  over  the  two  sections 
of  Glaister's  Introduction  to  Philosophy  class. 

"It's  difficult  when  you  have  to  take  over  a  class  after  that," 
Glaister  said.  "I  had  to  decide  whether  to  follow  on  from  what 
they  were  teaching,  which  was  somewhat  different  from  what  I 


would  have  taught  had  I  been  here.  It  was  a  difficult  situation, 
there  are  some  people  (students)  who  really  wish  the  previous 
guy  would  keep  going  because  they  liked  them,  some  people 
were  the  other  way,  too.  It  was  just  an  unfortunate  situation 
in  general." 

Hamilton  said  something  needed  to  be  done,  especially 
with  so  much  help  offered  to  international  students,  at  the 
International  Student  Center,  but  none  offered  to  faculty. 

"Although  we  haven't  made  this  kind  of  goof  before,  it's  not 
impossible  that  it  would  happen  again,"  Hamilton  said.  "It's 
not  something  that  we  do  routinely.  It's  amazing.  We  have  a 
large  number  of  international  faculty  at  a  research  university 
and  no  central  office  for  helping  them  out." 

After  12  years  in  the  United  States,  Glaister  said  he  knew 
things  were  not  that  bad,  and,  in  fact,  could  have  been  a  lot 
worse. 

"No  one  did  anything  really  wrong,  things  were  just 
screwed  up,"  Glaister  said.  "The  law  is  the  law  and  we  follow 
it  and  accept  all  consequences  of  that. 

"If  I  had  been  from  any  country  that  was  a  little  bit 
suspicious,  then  I  might  not  have  been  able  to  make  it  back.  I 
would  have  been  in  a  sorry  state  if  I  had  been  from  a  place  that 
had  suspicions  about  it,  and  you  really  feel  for  people.  Those 
are  the  people  who  have  the  interesting  stories."

Professor  preaches  history 


Zeal  for  subject 
ignites  Sanders 


as  much  as  Charles 
Sanders  did. 

"I've  got  to  have  the  best  job  in  the  world,"  Sanders, 
assistant  professor  of  history,  said.  "I'm  teaching  19th-century 
American  history,  arguably  the  best  subject  in  the  world,  to 
the  best  students  in  the  world  —  and  I'm  doing  it  at  a  place 
like  Kansas  State  University. 

"I  don't  want  President  Wefald  to  hear  this,  but  it's  the 
kind  of  thing  you'd  do  for  free." 

Sanders'  love  for  his  job  was  evident  in  his  high-powered 
teaching  style,  which  students  described  as  energetic, 
charismatic  and  animated. 

"He  keeps  people 
on  the  edge  of  their 
seats,"  Matthew  Swift, 
freshman  in  political 
science,  said.  "For 
those  who  have  trouble 
staying  awake,  I  think  he  makes  it  very  hard  for  them  to  stay 
uninterested." 

Sanders  said  part  of  his  energetic  classroom  style  could 
be  attributed  to  his  Southern  upbringing  and  passion  for 
stories. 

"We  (Southerners)  are  great  storytellers,"  Sanders  said. 
"We  relay  our  history  often  in  narrative  form  or  in  songs  or 
poetry." 

Matthew  Lower,  sophomore  in  park  management  and 
conservation,  said  Sanders'  teaching  style  helped  him. 

"Some  professors  will  lecture  and  so  forth,  but  they're  just 
regurgitating  information,"  Lower  said.  "He  enjoys  making 
the  class  fun  and  interesting,  as  well  as  informative.  He's  a 
higher- caliber  teacher." 

Sanders  agreed  teaching  involved  more  than  reciting 
facts. 


byjaci  Boydston 

"A  lot  of  history  teaching  is  art,"  Sanders  said.  "You've 
got  to  have  the  facts,  but  when  I  talk  about  history  with  the 
blood  in  it,  what  I  mean  is,  I  want  history  where  they  get  the 
feel  as  well  as  the  facts." 

Most  students  Sanders  taught  named  history  as  one  of 
their  least  favorite  subjects,  which  he  attributed  to  boring 
presentation. 

"They've  all  heard  (the  material),"  Sanders  said.  "They've 
read  it  in  a  thousand  books,  and  they're  sick  to  death  of  it. 
That's  the  reason  they  don't  raise  their  hands  and  say,  'oh,  I 
love  history'  In  fact,  they  do  love  it,  they  just  don't  know  it 
yet." 

Other  factors  caused  students  to  dislike  history,  as  well. 

"One  of  the  reasons  that  history  isn't  fun,  isn't  interesting, 
is  because  we  come  into  it  on  the  other  side,"  Sanders  said. 
"We  know  what  happens.  Well,  if  you  start  on  this  end,  and 
you  walk  through  it  one  step  at  a  time,  seeing  it  as  they  saw 
it,  then  it  becomes  very  relevant.  There  are  a  lot  of  twists  and 
turns." 

Sanders'  teaching  approach  involved  bringing  in  historical 
artifacts  and  teaching  events  from  different  points  of  view. 
Sanders  spent  one  class  period  teaching  the  American 
Revolution  from  a  British  point  of  view. 

"We  always  read  history  from  an  American  point  of 
view,"  Sanders  said.  "Not  this  time.  The  art  of  teaching  is, 
I'm  always  looking  for  the  hook.  The  hook  here  is:  you're 
going  to  be  a  British  soldier.  It's  a  part  of  our  history  that 
needs  to  be  told." 

Sanders  said  history  should  be  important  to  everyone 
because  it  was  the  story  of  all  Americans. 

"Look  at  who  we  Americans  are  now,  the  challenges  that  we 
still  have  here,"  Sanders  said.  "It's  about  all  of  us.  It's  not  a  story 
for  Montana  as  opposed  to  Mississippi.  It's  about  Montana, 
and  it's  about  Mississippi,  and  it's  about  all  of  us."

pocketwatch  added  to

the  watch,  Sanders  was

strong  Southern  accent 
and  his  imaginative 
catchphrases.  "He  keeps 
saying,  'trouble  brewing,'" 
Matthew  Swift,  freshman

Students  coach  youth  to  gain  experience 

TAKING  TRAINING  PRINCIPLES  and  coaching 
philosophies  to  the  court,  field  or  mat,  students  in  Mary  Lou 
Morgan's  coaching  practicum  applied  classroom  knowledge 
to  real-life  coaching  experiences. 

"I  want  them  to  get  a  realistic  view  of  what  coaching 
entails,"  Morgan  said.  "Most  are  athletes  who  want  to  go  into 
coaching  because  they've  loved  playing.  The  practicum  helps 
them  make  the  transition  from  being  an  athlete  to  a  coach." 

Partnering  with  Manhattan  High  School  and  Manhattan 
Parks  and  Recreation,  the  Department  of 
Secondary  Education  arranged  opportunities 
for  students  to  coach  and  assist  in  a  variety  of 
sports. 

"It's  set  up  so  we  can  get  the  kids  out  working 
with  youth,"  Morgan  said.  "Those  who  work 
directly  with  the  high  school  in  town  gain  an 
awful  lot  from  it." 

Ronald  James, senior  inelementary  education, 
coached  wrestling  for  the  first  time  at  Manhattan 
High  School.  He  said  his  experiences  wrestling 
in  high  school  helped  him  coach  others. 

"I  wasn't  the  greatest  wrestler  in  high  school," 
James  said.  "I  wasn't  a  state  champ,  but  I  can 
look  at  what  someone  is  doing  and  tell  them 
what  they're  doing  wrong  to  help  them  expand 
their  ability."

"They  all  have  their  ideas  of  how  they  want  to  do  things," 
Lee  Woodford,  head  wrestling  coach,  said.  "When  they  get 
out  on  their  own,  they  look  at  coaches  from  high  school  and 
others  they  admire,  and  they  develop  their  own  style.  But 
while  they're  here,  they  do  it  our  way." 

Designed  to  fit  the  students'  schedules,  the  practicum 
allowed  participants  to  build  as  much  coaching 
into  their  daily  lives  as  they  wished. 

"They  are  exposed  to  the  day- to  -  day  grind," 
Woodford  said.  "A  lot  of  college  kids  don't  have  a 
concept  of  that,  but  that's  what  we  do  every  day. 
You  give  up  your  weekends  to  do  this  sport.  It's 
not  like  in  football  where  you  pop  in  for  a  few 
hours  and  you're  done.  Ours  are  all- day  suckers. 
They  learn  real  fast  how  much  time  is  involved 
in  it." 

James  said  he  didn't  mind  the  time 
commitment. 

"I  love  being  there,"  he  said.  "We  had  practice 
on  New  Year's  Day  at  8:30  in  the  morning  and  I 
was  there.  I'm  going  to  be  there  every  time  they 
are." 

As  part  of  the  practicum,  students  were  eligible  to  receive 
a  coaching  endorsement. 

"It's  essential  to  education  and  finding  a  job,"  James  said. 
"The  coaching  endorsement  is  one  more  aspect  to  help  me  get 
a  job  as  a  wrestling  coach." 

Those  coaching  for  the  practicum  gained  a  better 
perspective  of  coaching  on  a  professional  level. 

"They  get  exposed  to  exactly  what  it  takes  to  be  in  this 
kind  of  a  position,"  Woodford  said.  "They  realize  how  many 
individuals  you  have  to  deal  with  and  how  different  each 
are."

Coaching  Practicum

pour  a  glass  of  wing 


students  learn  to  taste  the  flavors 


Four  different  glasses  and  a  few  other  cups  sat  in 
front  of  each  student.  A  basket  of  crackers  adorned 
each  table.  After  the  glasses  had  been  filled  with  a 
small  amount  of  wine,  the  tasting  process  began. 
"You  swirl  to  open  (the  wine)  up,"  Emily  Nemechek,  senior 
in  hotel  and  restaurant  management,  said.  "Then  you  smell 
it  and  taste  it." 

K-State  offered  a  single  credit-hour  course  that 
encompassed  choosing  and  tasting  wines.  During  the 
two -hour  class,  students  tasted  eight  wines  and  described 
characteristics  of  each  wine.  In  addition  to  tasting,  students 
listened  to  a  lecture  about  different  types  of  wines  and  when 
each  should  be  used. 

Nemechek  previously  took  the  class. 

"I'm  actually  taking  it  for  credit  this  time,"  Nemechek  said. 
"The  second  time  around  you  have  a  base  to  go  off  of.  It's  easier 
to  smell  different  aromas  and  taste  different  flavors." 

Elizabeth  Barrett,  associate  professor  in  hotel,  restaurant 
and  institutional  management,  and  dietetics,  said  the  class 

was  offered  because  students  needed  to  understand  more 

U 

about  wines. 

"A  lot  of  our  students  want  to  broaden  their  knowledge 
base  about  hospitality,"  Barrett  said.  "They  just  want  to  know 


more  about  wines." 

Because  alcohol  was  not  allowed  in  classrooms  on  campus, 
the  class  met  at  St.  Paul's  Episcopal  Church,  but  that  did  not 
prevent  students  from  taking  the  class. 

Jacob  Forgy,  senior  in  hotel  and  restaurant  management,  said 
the  class  was  a  good  experience  and  would  help  those  taking  the 
class  apply  what  they  learned  to  future,  professional  situations. 

"My  favorite  part  is  learning  about  the  wine,"  Jacob  Forgy, 
senior  in  hotel  and  restaurant  management,  said.  "I  never  really 
drank  wine  before,  so  it  broadens  my  experience." 

Other  students  took  the  class  because  of  an  interest  in  the 
subject. 

"I  need  an  extra  credit  hour  to  graduate  in  May  and  I  like 
wine,"  Kristin  Griffey,  senior  in  apparel  marketing  and  design, 
said.  "My  favorite  wine  is  Riesling.  I  like  sweet  wine  and  it's  a 
pretty  sweet  one." 

Griffey  said  it  was  interesting  to  describe  the  wines  because 
each  contained  different  flavors  she  was  previously  unaware. 
Brandy  Sherwood,  senior  in  social  science,  agreed  and  said  there 
was  more  to  wine  than  she  originally  thought. 

"I  enjoy  getting  to  taste  all  the  different  wines,"  Sherwood 
said.  "Wines  are  so  complex.  There  can  be  so  many  different 
things  in  it."

They  shopped  for  gear  and  equipment  on  eBay.  They 
quoted  Lloyd  Christmas  from  "Dumb  and  Dumber"  on  the 
back  of  the  club  T-shirt.  They  watched  Winter  X  Games  on 
ESPN.  They  talked  about  getting  "hooked  on  it"  the  first 
time  they  snapped  on  a  set  of  skis. 

Barely  a  year  in  existence,  the  club  grew  to  15  members. 
Not  all  attended  every  meeting,  not  all  went  on  the  ski  trips, 
but  that  exemplified  the  group's  philosophy,  Rein  Herrman, 
sophomore  in  mechanical  engineering,  said. 

"Our  club  is  a  social  club,"  Herrman  said.  "If  you  want  to 
show  up,  you  show  up,  is  the  way  I  look  at  it.  If  you  want  to 
have  fun  with  us,  come  have  fun  with  us." 

Herrman  said  he  joined  after  seeing  a  flier  about  the 
club's  trip  to  Aspen,  Colo. 

"When  I  got  here,  I  always  assumed  there  would  be  a 
snow  ski  club  (on  campus),  but  found  out  there  wasn't," 
David  Burch,  president  and  junior  in  management,  said. 
"So  I  just  got  some  friends  together  and  we  just  try  to  ski 
whenever  possible  and  hang  out  together." 

The  club's  first  ski  trip  was  during  winter  break  when 
they  went  to,  as  their  T-shirt  said,  "Some  place  warm,  a 
place  where  the  beer  flows  like  wine,  where  beautiful  women 
instinctively  flock  like  the  salmon  of  Capistrano.  I'm  talking 
about  a  little  place  called  Aspen,  (Colo.)" 

For  their  second  trip,  on  a  sunny  day  before  Groundhog 
Day,  three  members  went  to  Snow  Creek  in  Weston,  Mo.

get  back  in  line  for  the  ski

in  Weston,  Mo.  This  was 
the  club's  second  skiing 
trip  of  the  year  after  going 
to  Aspen,  Colo.,  in  Decem- 
ber. "We're  pretty  casual 
and  laid  back  most  of  the 
time,"  Burch  said.  "We'll 
have  a  meeting;  we'll  just 
kind  of  start  whenever, 
when  everybody  gets 
there,  pretty  much.  We 
just  hang  out  and  talkfor 
a  little  bit;  we'll  do  some 
business  and  take  care  of 
that,  too."  —  Photo  by

"For  the  plains  it's  cool,  because  there's  no  mountains, 
but  there's  still  some  place  to  ski,"  Lane  Roney,  sophomore  in 
industrial  engineering,  said.  "But  compared  to  other  places 
I've  been,  it's  nothing  really." 

Unseasonably  warm  temperatures  caused  skiers  to  leave 
their  jackets  in  their  cars,  and  the  man-made  snow  to  get 
slushy. 

"It's  really  sticky  so  it  slows  you  down  a  lot,"  David 
Burch,  president  and  junior  in  management,  said.  "It's  a  lot 
different  than  when  it's  30  degrees." 

After  the  three  took  jumps  in  the  Lewis  and  Clark  Rail 
and  Jump  Park,  Rein  Herrman,  sophomore  in  mechanical 
engineering,  decided  to  go  through  the  moguls.  Although  he 
broke  his  ski  pole,  Herrman  said  moguls  were  his  favorite. 

"It's  like  putting  together  a  puzzle,"  Herrman  said.  "If 
you  don't  turn  at  the  right  time  you  might  get  thrown  in  the 
air  or,  well,  break  your  pole.  It's  something  you  have  to  do 
quite  a  bit  to  get  better  at  it,  and  I  need  to  get  better  at  it." 

On  the  two-and-a-half-hour  ride  to  Snow  Creek,  Burch 
and  Herrman  talked  about  ways  to  attract  new  members. 

"We  need  more  awareness  of  it,"  Herrman  said.  "There 
is  a  lot  of  people  that  love  to  ski  but  don't  really  know  about 
our  club." 

With  more  people  attending  their  monthly  meetings 
in  the  K- State  Student  Union,  the  group  could  experience 
growth  in  many  ways,  including  participating  in 
competitions,  Burch  said. 

"There  is  definitely  a  lot  of  skiers  who  go  to  K- State," 
Burch  said.  "But  a  lot  of  them  just  don't  know  about  it.  Some 
people  do  know  about  ski  club  but  just  don't  have  the  time 
to  do  it.  We  need  more  social  activities  to  make  it  fun  in 
between  ski  trips.  Instead  of  just  having  meetings,  going  out 
and  having  a  good  time."

said.  "It's  a  professional 
organization  designed 
to  prepare  us  toward 
business.  The  club  expe- 
rienced a  shift  in  power 
this  year.  Last  year,  the 
seniors  who  were  running 
the  club  all  graduated  at 
the  same  time,  so  the  club 
membership  dropped. 
Not  just  the  membership 
dropped,  the  officers 
dropped  down  to  zero."

Survival 

by  Andi  Rice 

Loss  of  membership,  senior  leadership 
poses  problems  for  campus  organization 

ALL  OFFICERS  in  the  American  Institute  of  Graphic 
Arts  Club  and  many  members  graduated  in  Spring  2002. 
Julia  Koller,  junior  in  fine  arts,  was  elected  as  the  2003 
president  and  experienced  a  change  in  the  club. 

"The  number  one  obstacle  is  the  membership  basically 
graduated,"  Koller  said.  "Number  two,  the  AIGA  has  put 
together  a  new  rule  that  we  can't  actually  be  affiliated  with 
the  club  unless  each  member  pays  a  $65  fee,  and  that's  pretty 
expensive.  So  I  think  those  are  the  problems  right  now." 

There  were  20  members  in  the  K-  State  chapter,  but  at  a 
general  meeting  only  three  or  four  people  showed  up. 

"It  just  takes  a  little  bit  for  people  to  come,"  David  Burke, 
senior  in  fine  arts,  said.  "Especially  artists  because  our 
homework  isn't  like  other  peoples'  homework  where  they 
read  books  and  take  tests.  Our  homework  is  major  projects 
so  a  lot  of  people  don't  find  time  to  come." 

But  at  meetings  with  special  speakers,  Koller  said  the 
room  was  packed. 

"Speakers  come  in  and  talk  about  design  and  artwork," 
Koller  said.  "Mostly  we  are  trying  to  develop  a  network  for 
graduation,  for  when  we  go  out  into  the  business  world  we 
want  to  be  able  to  have  good  working  relationships  with 
people.  It's  about  sharing  ideas  and  knowledge." 

For  the  group  to  stay  registered  as  a  K- State  organization 
it  had  to  keep  at  least  five  members. 

"Most  clubs  have  been  around  for  years,"  said  Brooke 
Taylor,  student  secretary  at  the  Office  of  Student  Activities 
and  Services.  "It's  easier  for  most  of  the  bigger  clubs  to  keep 
members.  A  lot  of  clubs  drop  out  and  don't  make  it." 

The  club  discussed  solutions  to  prevent  depletion. 

"I  believe  that  the  best  solution  is  promotion,"  Koller  said. 
"We  need  to  put  together  interesting  meetings  and  events, 
and  then  heavily  promote  them  through  fliers,  e-mail,  and 
in- class  announcements.  There  really  isn't  anything  I  can 
do  about  the  $65  membership  fee,  but  I  think  students  will 
be  more  willing  to  join  when  they  learn  about  how  the  AIGA 
supports  designers  and  illustrators  professionally."

new  technique  for  counseling 


Group  finds  innovative  use  for  sand, 
creative  way  to  communicate  with  child 

RUNNING  THEIR  FINGERS  along  the  smooth  grains, 
Creative  Arts  Therapy  Students  spent  an  afternoon  molding 
sand  at  their  first  Sand  Tray  Therapy  Workshop,  Feb.  2. 

A  play  therapist  demonstrated  sand  tray  therapy  as  a 
counseling  tool. 

The  process  began  with  miniatures  —  people,  animals, 
buildings  and  plants  —  and  a  tray  of  sand.  Patients  were  en- 
couraged to  create  a  picture  or  scene  in  the  sand  tray,  about 
whatever  they  wanted,  Denise  Filley,  play  therapist,  said. 

"You  have  them  tell  you  a  story  about  what  they've  made 
and  you  talk  about  it  and  relate  it  back  to  their  life,"  Filley 
said.  "It  usually  helps  them  work  through  issues  or  problems 
that  they're  having  in  their  life,  or  do  some  healing  if  they've 
had  some  emotional  trauma." 

After  learning  the  process  the  patient  went 
through,  each  member  created  a  scene  in  the 
tray,  and  then  the  group  discussed  several 
members'  trays. 

"When  we  did  it,  it  was  interesting  how  the 
atmosphere  in  the  room  changed,"  said  Linda 
Dunne,  graduate  student  in  speech  and  CATS 
president.  "Everyone  became  engrossed  in  what 
they  were  doing,  like  a  meditation  almost." 

The  group  learned  the  types  of  questions 
to  ask  a  patient,  and  the  symbolic  meaning  of 
objects. 

"Everything  that  is  there  (in  the  tray)  has 
a  symbol,  has  a  representation  for  something," 
Filley  said.  "It  has  different  meanings  for  differ- 
ent people." 

Filley  said  sand  tray  therapy  benefitted 
counseling  patients.

she  said.  "It  can  still  be  very  healing  for  them. 

It's  more  about  the  whole  experience  —  the  healing  —  than 
talking  about  it." 

Learning  sand  therapy  helped  the  group  because  it 
showed  a  different  way  to  connect  with  people,  Alissa  Dun- 
can, graduate  student  in  speech,  said.

Benefits  of  Sand  Tray  Therapy 

Sand  tray  therapy  allows  for  better 
communication  with  younger  children. 

•  Letting  children  play  with  the  miniatures  and 
sand  helps  them  improve  in  therapy  and  heal 
from  emotional  scars. 

Sand  tray  therapy  works  for  adolescents  as  well  as 
adults. 

•  The  therapy  allows  an  inner  part  of  a  person  to 
come  out.

Sweet  „««, 
Serenade

Valentine-grams  provide  opportunity 
for  couples  to  give  gifts 

E'S  DAY  GIFT,  Valentine -grams 
were  offered  to  students  and  community  by  the  American 
String  Teachers  Association.  One  of  four  songs  —  "You  Are  My 
Sunshine,"  "Makin'  Whoopi,"  "Let  Me  Call  You  Sweetheart" 
and  "Love  Me  Tender"  —  could  be  selected  for  a  personal 
sweetheart  serenade. 

In  addition  to  being  serenaded,  the  recipients  were  given 
a  red  rose,  candy  and  a  card. 

"People  don't  normally  get  this  —  it's  a  surprise," 
Timothy  Crawford,  senior  in  music  education,  said.  "You 
normally  expect  a  rose  or  card,  but  not  a  rose,  card,  candy 
and  serenade." 

For  $25,  the  Valentine -grams  answered  the  question  of 
what  to  give  a  significant  other  on  Feb.  14,  Bethany  Adams, 
sophomore  in  music  education,  said. 

"It's  an  important  activity  because  sometimes  Valentine's 
Day  sneaks  up  on  you,"  Adams  said.  "It's  a  cool  alternative  to 
last-minute  gift  ideas." 

Besides  doing  the  activity  for  enjoyment,  the  string 
teachers  needed  a  fund -raiser  for  the  national  conference 
they  planned  to  attend  March  27-29  in  Columbus,  Ohio.  The 
group  wanted  to  raise  awareness  of  the  services  to  increase 
the  number  of  serenades  from  eight  last  year  to  at  least  10  this 
year,  Adams  said. 

"It's  important  for  us  because  of  nationals,"  Addi  Foster, 
senior  in  music  education,  said.  "It's  a  function  that  makes 
money  and  shows  people  in  the  community  string  play  and 
gets  us  out  in  the  open.  It  exposes  them  to  our  organization. 
It's  a  novelty  really." 

The  group  got  a  positive  response  from  the  community, 
Foster  said. 

"Everyone  really  liked  it,"  she  said.  "We  got  cards  from 
a  couple  of  gentlemen  who  ordered  them.  They  said  it  was  a 
really  nice  way  to  do  something  for  Valentine's  Day."

Students  practice  together  for 
annual  spring  opera,  share  music 

JM  March  6  -8,  the  audience 
awaited  the  K-State  Opera  Guild's  spring  performance  of 
"The  Merry  Wives  of  Windsor."  The  Shakespearean  comedy 
was  based  on  a  man  tricked  by  two  women  he  deceived. 

"It's  a  delightful,  light  opera,"  William  Wingfield,  instruc- 
tor and  conductor  of  the  operetta,  said.  "I  like  the  comic 
aspects.  It's  a  beautiful,  charming  comedy." 

Players  in  the  opera  practiced  every  weeknight  for  six 
weeks  before  opening  night. 

"You  train  in  a  classical  style,"  Allison  Keane,  president 
and  junior  in  applied  music,  said.  "We  use  vibrato  because 
it  is  more  natural  for  the  body.  It's  mainly  about  relaxation 
and  letting  your  body  do  the  work." 

Opera  Guild  provided  music  intellects  with  a  chance  to 
get  to  know  people  who  shared  the  same  appreciation  for 
vocal  performance. 

"It's  like  a  forum  and  you  learn  a  lot  about  things  going 
on  in  the  opera  world,"  Virginia  Pape,  junior  in  theater,  said. 
"You  can  see  real  people  who've  made  it." 

The  opera  guild  was  comprised  of  30  members,  both  music 
and  non-music  majors. 

"I  just  loved  to  sing  and  opera  is  a  different  level  of  sing- 
ing," Matthew  Fallesen,  senior  in  applied  music,  said.  "I  just 
wanted  to  learn  the  techniques  of  real  singing.  Singing  with 
good  singers  is  the  fun  part  of  opera.  It's  a  learning  experi- 
ence. You  learn  from  each  other."

o    The 

otars  of 
the  Past 

by  Matt  Gorney  and  Lindsey  Thorpe 

Presentation  uses  modern  software, 
Bible  references  to  plot  Bethlehem  star 

from  audience  members  as  Frederick 
Larson,  former  Texas  A&M  University  law  professor,  revealed 
the  science  behind  the  secrets  of  the  Bethlehem  star  and 
important  dates  in  the  biblical  life  of  Jesus  Christ. 

The  Lutheran  Student  Fellowship  invited  Larson  to  speak 
at  McCain  Auditorium,  Jan.  30-31.  He  used  a  star-charting 
program  to  show  where  the  stars  were  2,000  years  ago. 

Larson's  presentation  was  free  to  students  and  community 
members. 

"I  really  liked  how  he  pointed  out  all  the  biblical  refer- 
ences," Amanda  Engelman,  senior  in  history,  said.  "He  hit  the 
high  points  that  were  important  and  made  you  want  to  go  to 
the  Web  site  to  learn  the  rest  of  the  details." 

Larson's  presentation  broke  down  passages  from  the  Bible 
and  his  computer  showed  the  skies  on  the  specific  date. 

"Computer  software  has  become  so  capable,"  he  said. 
"With  the  software,  you  can  observe  any  time  of  day  or 
weather." 

Larson  finished  his  presentation  by  using  historical 
records  and  Bible  verses  to  pin  down  the  exact  day  Christ 
was  crucified  and  then  went  through  a  series  of  astronomical 
events  that  occurred  on  that  day. 

"My  favorite  part  is  the  last  few  moments  when  the  whole 
story  comes  together  —  when  the  poem  is  completed  and 
the  meaning  of  it  all  comes  clear,"  he  said.  "It's  shocking 
that  God  would  orchestrate  such  a  poem  of  such  amazing 
intricate  detail." 

Larson  said  there  obviously  was  a  deeper  meaning. 

"You'd  have  to  be  an  idiot  to  not  connect  the  dots,"  he 
said.  "With  so  much  detail,  it's  impossible  to  think  it's  an 
accident." 

Larson  said  audience  members  had  visible  reactions  to 
his  presentations. 

"A  high  percent  find  the  star  beyond  interesting  —  they 
have  a  strong  emotional  reaction,"  he  said.  "You  hear  a  lot  of 
'I  was  just  blown  away'  You  see  lots  of  red  eyes.  It's  common 
to  see  people  cry."

AT  HIS  BETHLEHEM  STAR 

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

Players  forgo  expensive  lodging  while  on  road, 
stay  with  opposing  team  members 


WHEN  THE  WOMEN'S  RUGBY  TEAM  traveled  to  play 
a  game,  members  of  the  team  did  not  stay  in  hotels. 

Instead,  they  settled  in  with  members  of  the  opposing 
team. 

"This  has  been  a  tradition  ever  since  I've  played  here," 
Shelley  Vering,  senior  in  marketing  and  international 
business,  said.  "Since  there  isn't  a  lot  of  funding  for  the  team, 
this  helped  to  save  money  and  it  was  a  good  way  of  meeting 
new  people." 

After  the  games,  members  of  both  teams  celebrated  by 
going  to  parties  or  banquets.  The  host  teams  planned  the 
post- game  entertainment.  Vering  said  businesses  often 
sponsored  the  celebrations  to  help  with  funds. 

Fund- raisers  and  money  supplied  by  the  university 
assisted  the  team  with  funding  for  travel. 

"I  didn't  mind  carpooling  to  and  from  the  other  cities 
in  order  to  play  in  a  game,"  Amy  Marsh,  junior  in  hotel  and 
restaurant  management,  said.  "Singing  along  to  the  radio 
helped  pass  the  time.  But  most  of  the  time  was  spent  figuring 
out  where  we  were  supposed  to  be  going." 

Recruitment  for  the  team  soared  to  an  all-time  high  of 


50  participants.  Vering  said  last  year  there  were  10  women 
on  the  team. 

"We  really  made  the  team  more  known  this  season," 
Vering  said.  "Word  of  mouth,  fliers  and  advertisements  in 
the  newspaper  all  contributed  to  the  increase  of  players." 

With  the  majority  of  the  team  being  new  to  the  game, 
Vering  said  the  women's  initial  reaction  to  the  amount  of 
energy  needed  was  enthusiastic. 

"The  girls  who  were  new  to  the  sport  were  extremely 
respectful  and  willing  to  learn,"  said  Kristy  Rukavina, 
senior  in  architectural  engineering  and  modern  languages. 
"The  inexperience  wasn't  necessarily  a  problem — it  was  just 
a  hurdle  that  we  got  past."

Reception  recognizes  efforts  of  students, 
faculty  leaders,  campus  organizations 

THROUGH  THE  THEME  "Leadership  for  a  Lifetime,"  the 
Blue  Key  Senior  Honorary  organized  Leadership  Recognition 
Day  to  honor  and  recognize  students  and  advisers  of  registered 
organizations  on  campus. 

Attendees  were  invited  to  a  reception  at  the  Alumni  Center 
ballroom,  Feb.  10,  where  Michael  Dikeman,  of  Block  &  Bridle 
Club,  won  the  2002  Advisor  of  the  Year  Award. 

"A  lot  of  times  it  seems  different  leaders  go  unnoticed 
and  we  are  really  focusing  on  trying  to  promote  honor  and 
recognition  to  those  leaders,"  said  Tyler  Breeden,  director  of 
Leadership  Recognition  Day  and  senior  in  agricultural  eco- 
nomics. "We  just  want  to  give  them  their  moment  in  the  sun 
and  say  thank  you  for  the  work  you've  done." 

The  event  served  as  a  way  for  Blue  Key  to  find  potential 
members  on  campus,  but  more  importantly,  Riley  Scott, 
senior  in  horticulture,  said,  it  served  as  a  way  to  recognize 
student  leaders  and  advisers  on  campus. 

"It  can  serve  a  lot  of  functions,"  Scott  said.  "It's  a  great  way 
to  reach  some  future  leaders  and  current  leaders  on  campus 
and  let  them  know  about  (Blue  Key).  But  I  would  say  that's 
secondary  to  the  recognition  we  want  to  give  a  current  leader 
on  campus  and  also  an  up-and-coming  leader  and  their 
adviser;  and  just  say,  'thank  you,  we  realize  all  the  hard  work 
you  put  in  to  K- State  and  we  just  want  to  thank  you  for  that 
and  recognize  you  for  that.'" 

With  almost  200  people  at  the  dinner,  all  12  Blue  Key 
members  played  an  intricate  role  in  organizing  the  event. 

"In  the  sense  of  recognizing  leaders  across  K- State,  this  is 
what  gets  our  name  out  the  most,"  Tammy  Jo  Osborn,  presi- 
dent and  senior  in  political  science,  said.  "In  the  sense  that  a 
lot  of  people  come,  we  recognize  a  lot  of  people,  and  it  takes  a 
lot  of  time  and  a  lot  of  energy  to  put  this  thing  together." 

The  theme,  Breeden  said,  was  based  on  the  concept  that 
leadership  goes  beyond  time  spent  on  campus. 

"Being  a  leader  is  a  lifestyle,"  he  said.  "It's  not  something 
you  gain  through  being  in  clubs  and  organizations.  It's 
something  that  you  continue  to  grow  and  develop  and  take 
advantage  of  leadership  opportunities  your  whole  life."

Elite  group  of  students  prepare  for  national  finals 
of  financial  planning,  gain  real-world  experiences 


to  participate  in  the  American 
Express  Financial  Planning  Invitational  had  one  month  to 
complete  a  fictional,  financial  plan  based  on  information 
provided  to  the  team. 

"We  have  the  month  of  February  to  write  a  150 -page 
comprehensive  plan,"  said  Jamie  Breeden,  senior  in  family 
studies  and  human  services.  "We  pretty  much  work  on 
everything  as  a  team." 

Wesley  Uhl,  senior  in  family  studies  and  human  services, 
said  preparation  for  the  competition  was  a  lengthy  process. 

"It's  almost  the  equivalent  of  working  a  full-time  job," 
Uhl  said.  "We  put  that  many  hours  in." 

Breeden  said  the  competition  provided  valuable  experience 
before  she  got  into  the  business  world. 

"It's  a  good  way  for  us  to  apply  our  knowledge,"  she  said. 
"It  gets  our  names  out  there  and  people  start  to  know  us  out 
in  the  career  world." 

Lucas  Bucl,  senior  in  finance,  said  the  competition  was 
good  for  his  future. 

"It's  great  experience  because  I  want  to  be  a  financial 
planner,"  Bucl  said.  "You  have  to  understand  all  the  concepts 
and  put  all  the  formulas  in  yourself." 

The  rules  forbade  use  of  computerized  financial  software, 
but  Microsoft  Word  and  Excel  could  be  used. 

Two  teams  from  K-  State  competed  within  the  university 


for  the  opportunity  to  send  a  plan  to  the  actual  competition, 
but  only  one  team  represented  the  school. 

The  second  team  comprised  of  Alisa  Weeks,  senior  in 
family  studies  and  human  services;  Jennifer  Cline,  senior  in 
marketing  and  international  business,  and  Kyle  Yaege,  senior 
in  family  studies  and  human  services. 

Only  six  schools  were  invited  to  travel  to  the  finals  and 
present  financial  plans. 

Gabriel  Asebedo,  president  of  Future  Financial  Planners 
and  junior  in  family  studies  and  human  services,  said  K-  State 
placed  in  the  top  six  each  year. 

"The  students  who  go  on  this  competition  are  the  select  or 
the  cream  of  the  crop,"  Asebedo  said.  "The  American  Express 
competition  is  the  creme  de  la  creme  of  competitions." 

One  main  focus  of  the  Financial  Planners  focuses  was  to 
spread  word  of  the  organization  on  campus,  Asebedo  said.  The 
group  brought  people  in  to  speak  about  financial  planning 
at  meetings  and  began  working  on  plans  to  attend  events 
around  the  region. 

"This  semester,  we're  focusing  on  travel,"  he  said.  "Last 
semester,  we  had  a  series  of  guest  lecturers." 

Breeden  said  speakers  were  helpful  to  the  group. 

"There  are  so  many  jobs  you  can  take  in  financial 
planning,"  Breeden  said.  "I  wouldn't  know  about  those  if  we 
didn't  have  the  speakers."

Future  Financial  Planners    165

two  heads  are  better  than  one 

question-and-answer  game  ignites  teams 
intellect  to  compete  for  cash  prize 


while  judges,  time  keepers  and 
scorekeepers  prepared  for  the  battle  to  take  place  in  Blue- 
mont  Hall.  The  competition  was  for  the  quickest  minds. 

College  Bowl,  sponsored  by  the  Union  Program  Council, 
took  place  Feb.  1.  Teams  competed  in  the  double- elimina- 
tion competition  by  answering  general-knowledge  ques- 
tions. 

Before  any  competing  began,  some  teams  chose  to  prac- 
tice and  be  as  mentally  ready  as  possible. 

"We  thought  it  would  be  good  to  brush  up,"  Garett 
Relph,  sophomore  in  political  science,  said.  "It  will  help  a 
little  bit  —  get  us  back  in  shape." 

Relph  said  practicing  involved  a  friend  reading  questions 
to  the  team  members  and  treating  it  like  a  regular  competi- 
tion. He  said  he  believed  the  team  would  do  well. 

"We're  pretty  confident,"  he  said.  "We  figure  we  should 
take  third  at  least." 

Daniel  Strom,  sophomore  in  nutritional  sciences,  said  he 
and  his  team  practiced  the  same  way. 

"We  were  able  to  make  a  better  team,"  Strom  said.  "We 
hope  to  get  a  feel  for  it,  do  well  this  year  and  better  next 
year." 

Other  teams  chose  not  to  practice. 

"I  haven't  done  anything  besides  what  I  always  do,"  Da- 
rin Bringham,  senior  in  management  information  systems, 


said.  "Just  keeping  informed  about  the  news  and  what  we 
normally  do  in  classes." 

During  the  competition,  teams  used  buzzers  to  answer 
toss-up  questions,  worth  10  points  each.  If  a  team  answered 
correctly,  it  had  an  opportunity  to  answer  a  bonus  question 
worth  between  20  and  30  points.  Rounds  were  split  into  two, 
seven-minute  halves. 

Thomas  Roth,  junior  in  accounting;  Benjamin  Fenwick, 
sophomore  in  political  science;  Jim  Copeland,  senior  in 
mathematics;  Dennis  Goin,  junior  in  history,  and  Micah 
Hawkinson,  senior  in  English,  constituted  the  winning 
team. 

"All  the  guys  were  really  well  informed  about  a  lot  of 
different  things,"  Hawkinson  said.  "For  me,  (the  key)  was 
watching  Jeopardy  all  the  time." 

The  team  won  $100  and  an  all-expense  paid  trip  to  the 
regional  tournament  in  Lawrence,  Feb.  21-23. 

"We  might  get  together  and  play  'You  Don't  Know  Jack' 
or  Trivial  Pursuit,"  he  said.  "We  probably  aren't  going  to 
have  a  lot  of  formal  preparation." 

Ashley  Friesen,  UPC  special  events  committee  chair  and 
junior  in  English,  said  College  Bowl  went  well. 

"I  was  very  pleased  with  the  competition,"  she  said.  "The 
teams  were  very  well  balanced  in  terms  of  knowledge.  The 
tournament  went  very  smoothly."

16  players  give  sweep  a  new  meaning 
after  yearly  game  of  broomball  at  ice  rink 

at  one  location 
would  symbolize  a  community  cleanup,  but  Saturday,  Feb. 
8,  members  of  the  Lutheran  Campus  Ministry  and  the 
Canterbury  Club  applied  those  cleaning  tools  on  the  ice 
rink  at  City  Park. 

Wearing  sneakers  and  armed  with  brooms,  16 
students  and  friends  took  the  ice  to  compete  in  a  game  of 
broomball.

"Once  a  year  in  February  we  rent  the  rink  to  play,"  Pastor 
Jayne  Thompson  said.  "They  say  we  are  the  only  wild  ones 
who  do  this." 

With  rules  similar  to  hockey,  and  played  with  a  child- 
size  soccer  ball,  broomball  incorporated  teamwork  and 
control. 

Broomball  originated  in  the  early  1900s  in  Canada. 
The  first  games  were  recorded  in  Saskatchwan  in  1909. 
The  recreation  evolved  to  formal  tournaments  in  countries 
around  the  world,  including 
official  teams  in  Iowa,  Minnesota 
and  Wisconsin. 

The  Lutheran  Campus 
Ministry  began  playing  broomball 
when  Thompson  came  to  K- State 
fall  1993. 

As  members  gathered  at  the 
center  of  the  rink,  Thompson 
stated  the  rules:  no  high  sticking, 
no  whacking,  if  someone  goes 
down  make  sure  they  are  OK. 


► 


Teams  were  chosen  and  positions  decided,  then  two 
opposing  forwards  faced  off  over  the  ball. 

One.  Two.  Three.  Whack. 

The  game  began. 

Players  shuffled  across  the  slippery  surface  while  trying 
to  make  contact  with  the  ball. 

Shouts  and  screams  erupted  as  players  lost  their  footing 
on  the  ice  and  fell. 

"There's  a  strategy:  play  hard  and  try  not  to  kill  people," 
Thompson  said.  "It's  controlled  chaos." 

Matthew  Cobb,  leader  of  the  Canterbury  Club,  learned 
a  few  tricks  during  his  first  experience  with  broomball 
Saturday. 

"Mostly  play  the  person,"  he  said.  "Get  in  position  and 
try  to  hit  the  ball." 

Cristy  Fenton,  senior  at  Manhattan  Christian  College, 
was  another  first-time  player. 

"It's  a  lot  of  fun  to  see  everybody,"  she  said.  "It's  a 
good  way  to  release  some  stress  from  the  week.  It's  a  little 
competitive  because  most  of  us  know  each  other,  but  most 
aren't  all  that  serious." 

The  game's  competition  constituted  cheers  for  goals, 
chants  for  intimidation  and  a  few  battle  wounds. 

Bruised  shins,  cut  fingers  and  bumped  heads  included 
some  of  the  risks  of  the  game. 

"It's  amazing  we  don't  get  more  hurt,"  Thompson  said. 
"It's  a  frenzy  out  there." 

Daniel  Reazin,  senior  in  elementary  education,  sported  a 
bruised  hip  from  the  week  before  the  game,  so  he  stayed  out 
of  major  conflicts  by  serving  as  goalie. 

Although  teams  started  keeping  score,  players  became 
engrossed  in  the  game  and  lost  count,  which  was  why  the 
games  always  ended  in  a  tie,  Thompson  said. 

Reazin  said  the  competitiveness  concluded  at  the 
completion  of  the  game. 

"It's  real  for  a  while  out  there,"  he  said,  "but  at  the  end, 
it's  just  for  fun." 

After  two  hours  of  play  in  the  frigid  environment  and 
four  bent  brooms,  members  went  to  a  coffee  shop  to  get 
warm  and  enjoy  discussions.

Voice  from

Literary  magazine  gives  students  a  place 
to  publish  their  artistic  works 

3NE,  the  student- run  literary  magazine, 
showcased  written  and  artistic  work  of  students  nationwide. 
The  publication  was  comprised  of  poetry,  fiction,  non- 
fiction,  photography  and  other  visual  art  samples. 

"We  choose  the  best  of  all  the  submissions,  not  just 
the  best  from  K- State,"  Shannon  Draper,  graduate  student 
in  English,  said.  "It  gives  the  magazine  a  professional 
quality." 

Each  section  editor  had  a  staff  of  three  to  six  readers 
in  charge  of  judging  the  merits  of  each  submission.  The 
section  editor  first  read  the  stories  to  determine  which 
reader  was  best  suited  to  judge  the  entry. 

"We  divide  the  entries  up  and  the  readers  pick  the  top 
few  in  each  category,"  said  Erin  Billing,  co- editor  in  chief 
and  graduate  student  in  English.  "Certain  language  and 
writing  work  better  for  people  to  read." 

Once  entries  were  chosen  for  the  magazine,  a 
competition  determined  the  best  entries  in  each  section. 
Winners  were  awarded  a  cash  prize  and  special  recognition 
in  the  contributor's  section. 

In  addition  to  publishing  the  magazine,  the  editors 
designed  and  maintained  the  publication's  Web  site.  As 
editors  updated  the  site,  they  tried  to  include  useful  features 
for  people  interested  in  the  magazine,  Stephen  Sink,  co- 
editor  in  chief  and  graduate  student  in  English,  said. 

"We  were  thinking  of  including  things  like  information 
about  our  contest  winners,  and  maybe  the  entries  that 
won,"  Sink  said.  "We  could  also  make  some  of  the  boring 
stuff,  like  advertising,  more  interesting." 

Touchstone  received  entries  from  writers  all  around 
the  country,  Draper  said. 

"We  get  quite  a  lot  of  entries  that  aren't  from  K- State," 
she  said.  "A  large  part  of  the  stack,  about  50  or  60,  is  from 
out  of  state."

holiday  sparks  new  awareness 

Club  organizes  Sexual  Responsibility  Week, 
condom  rose  sale  to  celebrate  Valentine's  Day 


IN  A  DIMLY  LIT  ROOM  in  the  back  of  Aggie  Station,  a 
small  group  of  students  sat  around  tables,  eating  and  social- 
izing. 

However,  these  students  were  not  discussing  classes  or 
weekend  plans.  As  members  of  Sexual  Health  Awareness  Peer 
Educators,  they  discussed  risk  factors,  STDs  and  roses  made 
of  condoms. 

"Our  basic  function  is  to  educate  the  K- State  community," 
said  Shana  Kerstetter,  senior  in  family  studies  and  human 
services.  "A  lot  of  college  students  don't  have  enough  educa- 
tion on  sexual  awareness." 

SHAPE  kicked  off  Sexual  Responsibility  Week,  Feb.  10. 
Members  distributed  information  in  the  K- State  Student 
Union.  Their  highlight  event  involved  selling  bouquets  of  roses 
made  of  condoms  to  raise  awareness  before  Valentine's  Day. 

"We're  not  promoting  sex,"  lessica  Ballard,  junior  in 
nutrition  and  exercise  science,  said.  "We  want  people  to  be 
responsible." 

Members  said  their  message  was  an  important  one  to 
bring  to  K- State. 

"Being  a  college  student,  this  is  one  of  the  most  valuable 
and  interesting  topics,"  Abigail  Maze,  senior  in  biology,  said. 
"The  more  you  know,  the  more  accurately  you  can  make  your 
choices." 


SHAPE  set  up  booths  in  the  Union  to  distribute  condoms 
and  information. 

loshua  Umbehr,  senior  in  nutrition  science,  said  many 
students  disliked  discussing  those  issues  in  public. 

"No  one  wants  to  touch  condoms  in  front  of  everyone," 
Umbehr  said.  "They're  mature  enough  to  have  sex,  but  they're 
not  comfortable  talking  about  it." 

Maze  said  SHAPE  did  not  present  a  particular  message 
on  right  or  wrong  sexual  behavior. 

"We're  totally  nonjudgmental  about  what  their  choices 
are,"  Maze  said.  "We  just  want  them  to  make  the  choice 
that's  best  for  them.  Everyone  has  their  right  to  their  opin- 
ion, whether  they  think  abstinence  is  the  only  way  to  go  or 
that  they  can  have  sex  with  anyone  who's  cute.  We  just  stress 
their  right  to  be  informed." 


WORKING  FOR  SHAPE, 
Jacquelyn  Paetzold,  junior 
in  anthropology,  finishes 
making  a  condom  rose. 
"It's  a  great  program 
because  people  need 
to  be  more  aware  of  the 
risks  and  keep  themselves 
healthy,"  Paetzold  said. 
"Sexual  health  just  seems 
like  a  taboo,  and  we're 
trying  to  make  the  subject 
more  approachable, 
especially  for  students."

In-depth  classes  teach  students  how  to  perform  CPR  on  adults,  infants,  children 


YEAR  the  American  Red  Cross  Club 
expanded  membership  and  programs  offered  to  students  and 
community  members. 

Aside  from  helping  with  blood  drives  and  assisting  in 
emergency  disaster  relief,  club  members  taught  first-aid  and 
CPR  courses  for  students,  area  elementary  school  children, 
and  community  members. 

Dr.  Briana  Nelson,  club  adviser  and  assistant  professor 
of  family  studies  and  human  services,  said  the  organization 
included  five  committees  dealing  with  health  and  safety 
issues,  emergency  assistance,  blood  services,  public  relations 
and  finance. 

"Finance,  education,  public  relations  —  any  major  can  be 
involved,"  she  said.  "People  from  all  different  walks  of  life  and 
all  different  professions  can  be  involved  in  Red  Cross." 

The  Health  and  Safety  Committee  organized  of  first  aid 
and  CPR  training,  geared  toward  different  groups  of  people. 
Joshua  Kahler,  committee  chairman,  and  senior  in  biology 
and  pre-medicine,  said  the  training  was  more  than  just  basic 
first  aid. 

"We  teach  first  response  in  CPR,"  he  said.  "It's  fairly  in- 
depth.  We  teach  how  to  perform  CPR  on  adults,  children 
and  infants." 

One  of  the  newest  programs  instituted  by  the  Health  and 
Safety  Committee  was  a  first  aid  program  for  baby  sitters, 


geared  toward  11-  to  14 -year- olds,  Kahler  said. 

The  organization  geared  programs  toward  college  student 
and  adults.  Nelson  said  the  Emergency  Assistance  Committe 
prepared  apartment- safety  packets  for  landlords  to  distribut 
to  their  tenants.  She  said  the  packets  included  local  emergenc 
numbers,  tips  on  what  to  do  during  severe  weather,  and  othe 
useful  emergency  information. 

CPR  and  first-aid  training  were  also  available  to  K-Stat 
students.  Kahler,  a  certified  CPR  instructor,  taught  course 
throughout  the  year,  averaging  six  training  sessions  eac 
semester.  He  said  the  courses  were  useful  for  students  require 
to  become  certified  for  their  major. 

Kimberly  Dicus,  senior  in  secondary  education,  said  sh 
was  required  to  complete  her  CPR  certification  in  order  t 
student  teach. 

"We  practiced  (CPR)  a  lot,"  she  said.  "I'll  be  able  to  d 
this  when  I  need  to." 

Aside  from  training  people  in  safety  and  first  aid,  Nelsc 
said  the  Red  Cross  Club  was  useful  in  recruiting  moi 
volunteers  for  the  national  organization. 

"Another  purpose  of  the  club  is  to  get  people  involved 
an  earlier  age,"  Nelson  said.  "No  matter  where  a  person  goe 
there  will  be  a  Red  Cross  (organization),  so  we  want  to  g 
people  involved  in  college  so  they  can  stay  involved  wherevi 
they  end  up  later  in  life."

coach  inspires  wins 

Oldest  North  American  sport 
approaches  13th  year  at  K- State 

A  NEW  COACH  and  a  split  conference  worked  to  the 
advantage  of  the  Lacrosse  Club  as  the  team  was  predicted  to 
win  the  Great  Rivers  Lacrosse  Conference. 

The  team  had  many  returning  players  to  form  the  31- 
person  squad.  After  a  successful  fall  tournament  season, 
which  included  a  10-9  victory  over  K- State  Lacrosse  alumni 
for  the  first  time  ever,  the  team  began  practice  for  the  2003 
season,  Feb.  5. 

"It's  just  a  time  to  get  people  out  for  the  team,"  Brian 
Gehlen,  graduate  student  in  kinesiology,  said.  "We  get  extra 
time  to  play,  more  practice  and  teach  the  new  guys  to  play. 
And,  we  have  some  fun." 

The  acquisition  of  Alexander  Cohen,  Nov.  4,  gave  the  team 
an  experienced  player  walking  the  sidelines  during  games. 

"It's  been  really  good  (having  Cohen  as  coach),"  Gehlen 
said.  "He's  played  in  a  lot  of  different  places  and  has  been 
around  the  game  a  while  now." 

Gehlen,  in  his  fourth  year  on  the  team,  said  the 
aggressiveness  and  speed  of  the  game  lured  him  to  it. 

"It  gives  people  an  opportunity  to  strap  on  some  pads  and 
hit  someone,"  he  said.  "I  can't  play  football  anymore,  but  now 
I  still  have  that  chance.  It's  a  lot  of  fun  going  out  there  and 
throwing  someone  around." 

Even  though  each  member  had  to  pay  a  $150  registration 
fee,  fund- raisers,  such  as  taking  chair  backs  down  at  KSU 
Stadium,  helped  the  team. 

"I  wouldn't  exactly  call  it  fun,  but  it's  working  together 
with  your  teammates,"  Shane  Apple,  senior  in  journalism  and 
mass  communications,  said.  "Any  hardships  you  go  through 
with  your  friends  makes  you  bond  more." 

That  bond  remained  well  after  players'  collegiate  lacrosse 
careers  were  finished,  Daniel  Ard,  senior  in  computer 
engineering,  said. 

"Finding  funds  and  support  for  us  to  play  lacrosse  in 
various  tournaments  and  host  our  own  tournaments  is  not 
easy  to  do,"  Ard  said.  "It  is  for  this  reason  that  we  thank  our 
sponsors  and  especially  our  alumni.  It  seems  like  the  alumni 
are  always  at  our  games  to  support  us  and  give  us  a  financial 
hand  when  needed."

11 -week  course  investigates     p^H 
religion,  challenges  some  to  examine  beliefs  through  groups 


iE.  Those  were  the  words  of  a  man  standing 

before  a  room  full  of  people,  challenging  them  to  take  part  in 

an  11 -week  study  of  Christianity. 

John  Schwartz,  speaker  and  co-director  of  the  Alpha 

Course,  kicked  off  the  first  series  of  discussions  with  a  talk 

labeled,  "Christianity.  Boring, 

Irrelevant,     Untrue?"     Topics 

presented  throughout  the  course 

centered  on  the  fundamentals 

of  the  Christian  faith,  including 

prayer,  the  Bible  and  Jesus  Christ, 

Sarah  Schultz,  co-director  with 

Schwartz,  said. 

"It's  an  investigation  of  the 

WORKING  TOGETHER,  claims  of  Christianity,"  Schultz 

Dean  Behrens,  sophomore  •  ,    n^.  ,  •    .     , 

in  family  studies  and      said"    0ur  goal  ls  to  have  an  °Pen  environment

in  elementary  education,  Travis  Schram,  senior  in  marketing  and 

prepare  chili.  -  Photo  by      international  business,  said  the  non- threatening 

MattStamey  & 

atmosphere  of  the  course  encouraged  people  to 
participate. 

"A  lot  of  the  time,  Christian  groups  come  across  as  just 
wanting  to  push  their  agenda,"  Schram  said.  "The  Alpha  group 
lets  people  come  and  discuss.  We  don't  have  an  agenda.  We 
present  our  ideas  and  let  people  discuss  them." 


Once  a  week,  Alpha  course  participants  gathered  at  the 
Baptist  Student  Center  for  dinner  and  discussion.  Seated  with 
their  assigned  groups,  participants  ate  together  and  listened  to 
a  speaker.  They  then  broke  off  into  their  student-led  groups 
to  share  their  thoughts. 

"I  tell  the  small  group  leaders  to  not  be  afraid  to  leave 
with  things  unresolved,"  Schram  said.  "If  people  leave  with 
questions,  it's  a  good  thing  because  they're  going  to  try  and 
find  answers.  The  more  controversy,  the  more  people  are 
challenged." 

During  the  meetings,  teams  of  students  met  to  pray. 

"We  go  upstairs  and  pray  before  the  speaker,"  Ann 
Crawford,  senior  in  elementary  education,  said.  "We  pray 
for  them  and  we  pray  for  certain  individuals  we  know  and 
pray  that  everything  goes  smoothly." 

In  its  fourth  semester,  the  course  expanded  from  a  group 
of  eight  to  10  people  to  more  than  50  interested  students. 

"It's  a  kind  of  grass-roots  thing  the  way  it  kind  of  spreads 
through  more  people,"  Schultz  said.  "It's  catching  on  because 
I  think  people's  lives  are  being  changed  and  they're  excited  so 
they  share  it  with  all  their  friends." 

Schram  said  interest  from  college  students  was  common 
during  this  time  of  their  life. 

"College  is  a  time  of  emotional  highs  and  lows.  It's  an 
accelerated  life  so  the  question,  'Is  there  anything  more  to  life?' 
comes  up,"  he  said.  "The  people  who  come  are  wondering, 
'What  else  is  there?'  We  hope  to  help  them  find  out."

Ambassadors  raise  money  for  McCain  through 
residence  tour,  inform  students  of  events 


,  directing  visitors  and 
relaying  Christmas  cheer,  McCain  Ambassadors  became 
docents  for  the  Friends  of  McCain  Auditorium's  McCain 
Homes  Tour,  Dec.  7. 

The  tour  included  six  residential  homes  and  one  sorority 
house  to  raise  money  for  the  McCain  Performance  Series 
programs.  More  than  950  community  members  bought 
tickets  for  $15  for  access  to  all  seven  houses. 

Eugene  Lauglin,  treasurer  of  the  Friends  of  McCain  Board 
of  Directors,  said  it  was  the  most  successful  tour. 

Ambassadors  worked  at  the  Carlin  home,  1650  Sunnyslope 
Lane. 

"It  was  educational  to  see  another  part  of  Manhattan," 
Mallory  Malone,  ambassador  president  and  senior  in  finance, 
said.  "We  got  to  learn  some  history  of  that  family." 

Stationed  in  rooms  around  the  house,  ambassadors  and 
Friends  of  McCain  volunteers  delivered  information  to  tour 
participants  and  answered  questions. 

Ambassadors  quickly  memorized  the  information,  but 
carried  a  fact  card  for  support,  Malone  said. 

Ambassadors  worked  at  the  Carlin  home  during  two  of 
the  three  volunteer  shifts.  Malone  and  two  other  members 
worked  from  11  a.m.  to  1:30  p.m.  Four  other  members  worked 


from  1:30  to  4  p.m. 

Malone  spoke  to  visitors  in  the  great  room.  She  described 
how  the  original  living  room  and  porch  became  the  great  room 
and  breakfast  nook.  She  pointed  out  historic  furniture  pieces 
like  a  rocking  chair  from  Germany,  and  tables  that  had  been 
in  the  Carlin  family  for  generations. 

Upstairs  Laura  Davisson,  senior  in  history,  invited  guests 
to  look  at  the  family-made  quilts  hanging  on  the  walls. 

Although  they  repetitively  recited  information,  Davisson 
said  it  remained  interesting. 

"You  see  different  people  who  ask  different  questions, 
which  made  it  interesting,"  she  said. 

During  the  second  shift,  Paige  Leitnaker,  sophomore  in 
psychology,  described  the  upstairs  doll  room  to  visitors. 

"It  was  fun  to  step  into  someone  else's  home,"  Leitnaker 
said.  "(It  was)  neat  especially  during  the  holidays  to  see  all  the 
beautiful  decorations.  It  is  a  fun  time  for  people  to  get  out." 

Ambassadors  also  volunteered  to  usher  at  all  McCain 
performances.  Members  informed  students  about  events  by 
chalking  sidewalks. 

"It's  a  great  opportunity  to  get  involved  on  campus  and 
broaden  your  horizons,"  Malone  said.  "You  get  to  be  a  voice 
for  more  cultural  experiences  on  campus."

step  education 

Unique  dance  expresses 
culture,  incorporates  students 

AS  STUDENTS  SLOWLY  SHUFFLED  into  Union  212  the  evening 
of  Jan.  30,  Angel  Wilson,  graduate  student  in  student  counseling  and 
personnel  services,  took  the  microphone. 

"There  are  seats  in  the  front  row,"  she  said.  "Come  sit  next  to 
someone  you  don't  know.  Hug  your  neighbor." 

As  part  of  Diversity  and  Respect  Appreciation  Diversity  In  Col- 
lege And  Life  week,  and  in  correspondence  with  the  residence  halls, 
the  Black  Student  Union  took  the  audience  through  the  history  of 
Stepping. 

The  meeting  started,  as  always  with  groups  clearing  out  of  the 
way  to  form  a  circle  and  clap  and  sing  to  the  tune  of  "Let  Every  Voice 
Sing." 

Then  Paris  Rossiter,  junior  in  art  and  BSU  president,  and  Orion 
Carrington,  senior  in  finance,  went  to  the  center  of  the  circle. 

"Yes,  this  is  fun,  but  it's  also  a  part  of  our  heritage,"  Rossiter  said  as 
he  prepared  to  perform.  "Be  here  to  learn  and  don't  take  it  lightly." 

After  Rossiter  and  Carrington  performed,  it 
was  time  for  the  audience  to  shadow  the  moves. 
"It's  great  to  see  this  many  people  from  different  cultures  do  some- 
thing fun,"  Audra  Dudte,  senior  in  architecture,  said.  "I  wish  we 
could  do  more  stuff  like  this  to  have  a  good  time." 

With  origins  in  South  Africa,  Stepping  evolved  from  singing  and 
chanting  to  include  various  dance  moves  and  rhythms. 

"I  knew  this  would  be  an  awesome  experience,"  Erica  Smith, 
senior  in  apparel  textile  marketing  and  design,  said,  "for  students  not 
exposed  to  the  way,  historically,  black  students  represent  themselves 
through  Step  and  that  kind  of  stuff." 

After  two  black  fraternities  and  one  black  sorority  performed  their 
versions  of  Step  and  the  evening  came  to  a  close,  the  goal  of  teaching 
diversity  had  been  achieved,  Dudte  said. 

"It's  (weeks  such  as  RADICAL)  very  important,"  she  said.  "It 
opens  people  up  to  see  what  else  is  out  there.  It's  important  to  adapt 
to  new  things  and  have  an  appreciation  for  new  cultures."

FEB.  1  MARKED  THE  BEGINNING  of  the  Year  of  the 
Ram. 

The  Vietnamese  Student  Association  celebrated  the 
Lunar  New  Year  Feb.  8  at  the  K- State  Student  Union.  The 
group  shared  the  traditional  "Lion  Dance"  and  a  traditional 
Vietnamese  dance. 

"We  have  a  celebration  every  year  for  the  Vietnamese 
community  for  awareness  and  what  New  Years  is  about,"  Vy 
Bui,  senior  in  finance,  said.  "Each  year  there  is  a  different 
animal." 

The  New  Year  festival:  Tet  Nguygen-Dan,  was  a  celebrated 
family  affair,  a  time  of  reunion  and  thanksgiving. 

"Usually  in  bigger  cities  it  is  easier  to  celebrate  with 
family,"  Bui  said.  "Here  we  put  on  a  celebration  to  remember 
our  heritage." 

VSA  invited  the  VSA  from  the  University  of  Kansas  to 
share  in  the  event. 

"KU  and  K- State  have  a  really  good  relationship,"  Thao 
Nguyen,  senior  in  secondary  education,  said.  "We  want  to 
show  our  appreciation." 

In  return,  the  KU  group  organized  its  own  celebration 
Feb.  15.

"It's  a  tradition  that  was  started  back  in  the  '70s,"  Duy  Do, 
senior  in  mechanical  engineering  said.  "It's  always  fun  when 
we  go  there.  We're  their  friends  and  they're  our  friends.  We 
have  a  good  relationship  going." 

After  more  than  four  months  preparation  and  with 
students,  faculty  and  their  KU  friends  in  the  audience,  VSA 
performed  Tet  Program  2003 

"This  is  our  main  event,"  Do  said.  "All  our  fund-raising 
goes  toward  the  celebration.  This 
year  we  received  funding  from  (the 
Student  Governing  Association) 
which  really  helped." 

Practicing  originally  choreo- 
graphed dances  and  making  deco- 
rations encompassed  much  of  the 
preparation  time. 

"The  dance,  Denise  (Le)  cre- 
ated it,"  Nguyen  said.  "She  created 
it,  picked  the  song  and  showed  it  to 
us.  We  practiced  for  more  than  two 
months." 

Justin  Huynh,  senior  in 
mechanical  engineering,  attended  the  celebration  and  said 
the  group's  hard  work  showed  in  their  performance. 

"They  did  a  really  good  job,"  he  said.  "There  was  a  lot  of 
organization.  They  focused  on  more  people  —  not  just  on 
Asian  —  but  on  people  not  Asian,  like  American.  The  show 
was  for  everybody."

Bowling  brings  golfers  together 
at  initial  semester  meeting 

R  and  the  sound  of  crashing 
pins,  one  might  not  have  expected  to  find  a  group  of  golf 
course  management  majors.  However,  Zucky  Bowl  bowling 
alley  was  exactly  where  the  K- State  Student  Chapter  of  the 
Golf  Course  Superintendents  Association  of  America  began 
the  spring  semester  Feb.  3. 

Although  members  said  the  club  did  not  usually  require  an 
extensive  time  commitment,  they  enjoyed  the  opportunity  to 
socialize  and  to  make  connections  with  others  in  the  major. 
"I've  definitely  gotten  to  know  a  lot  more  people  who  are 
in  my  grade  level,"  Christopher  Erickson,  senior  in  golf  course 
management,  said.  "Those  people  will  be  future  contacts.  I  try 
and  maintain  contact  with  people  who  have  graduated." 

Brian  Fleske,  junior  in  golf  course  management,  agreed 
that  meeting  people  was  important. 

"I'm  in  it  for  the  connections,"  Fleske  said.  "Later  in  life, 
we're  going  to  be  working  together.  I'm  going  to  know  these 
people,  so  if  I  need  any  help  from  somebody,  I'll  be  able  to 
call  them  up." 

Fleske  and  other  veterans  helped  younger  members  out 
as  well. 

"Every  now  and  then  I'll  have  some  guy  who's  a  freshman 
or  sophomore  ask  me  what  class  I'm  taking  or  what  kind  of 
internships  he  should  be  applying  for,"  Fleske  said.  "I'll  give 
them  a  little  advice." 

Younger  members  said  they  appreciated  the  learning 
experience. 

"(Older  members  help  with)  knowing  where  people  are 
in  the  country  with  jobs,"  Ryan  Hesseltine,  freshman  in  golf 
course  management,  said.  "To  my  knowledge,  it  takes  some 
experience.  You  have  to  start  low  and  work  your  way  up." 

Besides  the  help  members  provided  for  each  other,  GCSAA 
stood  out  among  other  organizations  for  other  reasons  —  the 
club  consisted  entirely  of  men. 

"It's  a  male-dominated  industry,"  Fleske  said.  "I  think 
there  are  just  no  women  interested.  We  don't  do  anything 
that  a  woman  wouldn't  fit  right  in  with.  We  don't  go  to  strip 
joints  or  anything."

Event  provides  opportunity  to  dress  for  Halloween, 
fund  research  for  children  with  cancer 


DRESSED  IN  HALLOWEEN  ATTIRE  and 
surrounded  by  envelopes  and  papers,  more  than 
600  students  supported  St.  Jude's  Hospital  as  part 
of  the  nationwide  Up  'Til  Dawn  program.  Each 
student  wrote  50  letters  to  friends  and  family 
asking  for  donations  to  the  hospital. 

Teams  of  six  or  more  worked  toward  raising 
$750  to  attend  the  Up  'Til  Dawn  celebration 
March  28  at  the  Chester  E.  Peters  Recreational 
Complex. 

In  addition  to  students  attending  the  event, 
some  of  St.  Jude's  patients  and  their  families  also 
participated.  The  families  had  the  opportunity 
to  share  their  experiences  in  fighting  severe  ill- 
nesses. 

"There  was  a  guest  speaker  whose  5 -year- 
old  son,  Kyler,  had  retinal  cancer,"  Leeann 
Armstrong,  freshman  in  apparel  marketing  and 
design,  said.  "Kyler's  mom  spoke  to  us  about  how 
much  St.  Jude's  helped  in  their  fight  against  the 
cancer.  It  was  touching  to  hear  her  story,  and 
I  think  it  helped  get  everyone  in  the  mood  to 
help  out." 


The  community  service  proj- 
ect gave  the  entire  campus  a  way 
to  unite  by  volunteering,  said  Sol 
Pettit-Scott,  senior  in  chemical 
engineering  and  executive  board 
member. 

"This  is  an  amazing  event,"  he 
said.  "It's  bigger  than  the  greeks, 
bigger  than  K-  State,  bigger  than  the 
residence  halls,  even  bigger  than  the 
Manhattan  community." 

This  project  fulfilled  one  of  the 
goals  for  the  greek  system,  said 
Sarah  McCaffrey,  Panhellenic 
Council  president  and  senior  in 
mass  communications. 

"One  of  the  cornerstones  of  the  greek  system 
at  K- State  is  our  emphasis  on  philanthropy  and 
community  service,"  McCaffrey  said.  "Up  'Til 
Dawn  gives  fraternity  and  sorority  members,  as 
well  as  the  rest  of  the  K- State  community,  an 
opportunity  to  come  together  and  raise  money  to 
support  children  who  desperately  need  help."

Lindsay  Allam,  sophomore 
in  elementary  education,

99  teams  gathered  to  help 
at  the  benefit  in  October.

Night  without

Sleepout  gives  Silver  Key  members  the 
chance  to  experience,  help  homelessness 

UNDER  THE  MANHATTAN  starlight,  members  of  the 
Silver  Key  Sophomore  Honorary  brought  sleeping  bags  and 
pillows  to  the  K- State  Student  Union  Plaza  Sept.  20. 

To  raise  awareness  of  homelessness  in  Manhattan, 
approximately  20  members  spent  the  night  outdoors. 

Silver  Key  raised  nearly  $1,600  in  the  event,  which  went  to 
Manhattan  Emergency  Shelter.  The  money  bought  necessities 
and  funded  programs  the  shelter  provided  for  Manhattan 
homeless. 

"It  was  well  worth  our  time  as  a  group,"  said  April 
Eisenhauer,  sophomore  in  architectural  engineering.  "I'm 
excited  to  see  what  next  year's  group  can  do." 

Silver  Key  began  the  fund  raiser  in  1995.  The  members 
were  required  to  get  donations.  Last  year  the  sleep  out  was 
canceled  due  to  the  Sept.  11  events,  but  the  group  still  raised 
$1,850  through  donations. 

This  year  the  event  was  made  more  personal  when  the 
group  took  a  field  trip  before  the  sleep  out. 

"We  actually  toured  the  shelter  on  the  day  of  the  sleep  out," 
Eisenhauer  said.  "It  made  me  realize  how  blessed  I  am." 

The  sleep  out  also  offered  the  group  a  chance  to  get  to 
know  each  other  better.  Often,  members  only  saw  each  other 
at  their  biweekly  meetings. 

"We  did  some  group  building,  some  cooperation  and  some 
getting  to  know  you,"  Eisenhauer  said.  "I  just  wanted  to  learn 
more  about  the  other  members  of  the  group." 

Cassie  Ernzen,  sophomore  in  family  studies  and  human 
services,  said  that  the  activities  were  fun  and  agreed  with 
Eisenhauer  that  the  sleep  out  allowed  the  group  to  bond. 

After  it  started  to  rain,  the  group  moved  its  equipment 
under  the  Union's  north  overhang. 

"We  ended  up  staying  until  about  5  or  5:30  a.m.,"  Ernzen 
said.  "It  started  pouring  rain  about  2:30  a.m." 

Even  though  it  rained,  Ernzen  said  she  had  fun. 

"I  had  a  great  time  with  the  rest  of  the  members  of  Silver 
Key,"  Ernzen  said.  "I  really  didn't  know  what  to  expect  at  the 
beginning."

After  Hours  provides  students  with 
alternative  end-of-week  activities 


K- STATE  AFTER  HOURS  provided  a  different  setting 
for  those  who  wanted  to  go  out  on  Friday  nights  but  did  not 
want  to  be  part  of  the  Aggieville  scene. 

"We  view  it  as  alternative  programming,"  said  Samantha 
Musil,  graduate  in  public  administration  and  After  Hours 
coordinator.  "It  gives  students  an  alternative  to  going  out 
to  the  bars  but  also  gives  them  something  to  do  on  Friday 
night." 

Musil  said  K- State  was  not  the  only  college  with  a  Friday 
program. 

"The  Friday  programming  had  become  popular  at 
universities  across  the  country,"  she  said.  "All  the  major 
universities  do  some  sort  of  programming." 

Free  food  and  a  movie  were  regular  activities  while 
pumpkin  decorating,  caricature  drawings,  sumo  wrestling 
and  other  events  were  featured  throughout  the  year. 

"I  came  to  watch  the  movie,"  Craig  Miller,  freshman  in 
business  administration,  said  Oct.  18.  "It  gives  you  something 
else  to  do  instead  of  going  to  parties." 

Tim  Garrett,  sophomore  in  information  systems,  said 
because  of  After  Hours'  evening  activities,  caffeinated  drinks 
were  critical.

"The  coffee  is  good,"  Garrett  said.  "Anytime  you  do 
anything  after  10  p.m.,  you  need  coffee." 

Garrett  said  music  ranked  as  his  favorite  part  of  After 
Hours. 

"I  liked  the  live  bands  the  first  week  I  came,"  he  said. 
"Live  music  is  always  good." 

Each  week,  200  to  300  people  attended,  Musil  said.  More 
popular  activities  attracted  larger  numbers. 

T-shirt  tie -dying  at  the  pep  rally  was  a  popular  activity. 
"For  the  pep  rally,  there  were  over  500  (people).  We  were  out 
of  T-shirts  at  10  p.m.,"  Musil  said. 

Musil  said  the  goal  of  After  Hours  was  to  conduct  quality 
programming  that  would  benefit  a  majority  of  students.  She 
said  even  with  a  small  budget,  After  Hours  kept  the  cost  of 
admission  free,  provided  good  entertainment  and  quality 
programs. 

"That's  one  of  the  philosophies  behind  it,"  Musil  said. 
"Give  students  something  they  can  do  without  paying  for 
it." 

Elizabeth  Cronn,  freshman  in  kinesiology,  said  she  was 
a  fan  of  the  price. 

"My  favorite  thing  is  that  it's  free  and  fun,"  Cronn  said. 
"I  have  no  money  to  go  out  and  do  stuff." 

After  Hours  began  in  fall  2001  as  First  Friday,  but  in 
fall  2002  had  expanded  from  once  a  month  to  every  Friday. 
Musil  said  the  change  helped  people  remember  when  it  was 
and  accommodated  increased  popularity. 

"It  went  over  good,"  she  said.  "They  had  good  attendance 

records  and  thought  it  would  be  better  to  have  it  every  Friday 

rather  than  just  the  First  Friday."

Bakery  Science  Club  creates  cookies,  bread  every 
week  to  raise  money,  gain  hands-on  experience 


THE  SWEET  AROMA  of  cookies  engulfed  the  baking 
lab  of  Shellenberger  Hall.  Cookie  recipes  were  mixed  and 
loaves  of  bread  formed  in  their  pans.  Ingredient  after  ingredi- 
ent was  tossed  into  the  80 -quart  mixing  bowls. 

Tuesdays,  Bakery  Science  Club  members  fired  up  their 
ovens  for  the  weekly  Wednesday  bake  sale. 

From  bakery  science  management  to  engineering,  any- 
one was  welcome  to  be  a  part  of  the  club. 

"It's  just  crazy  to  get  the  job  done,"  Kelly  Grant,  sopho- 
more in  bakery  science  management,  said.  "The  ones  who 
went  every  week,  we  got  really  close." 

Preparations  were  finished  Wednesdays  before  the  sale. 

"We  mixed  the  breads  on  Tuesday  and  baked  them  on 


Wednesday;  that  way,  they  were  baked  fresh,"  Grant  said. 
"People  told  us  they  could  smell  the  bread  all  the  way  from 
the  street." 

Some  weeks  the  club  sold  out  of  cookies  and  other  weeks 
they  sold  out  of  bread.  It  was  a  gamble  to  guess  which  would 
sell  the  most,  Grant  said. 

Whether  customers  craved  breads,  cookies  or  the  fea- 
tured item  of  the  week,  the  club  provided  the  cure. 

"Once  in  a  while  I  would  take  my  time  leaving  my  lab 
on  Wednesdays  so  I  could  stop  by  and  buy  a  sugar  cookie 
or  two,"  Katherine  Spiess,  freshman  in  animal  sciences  and 
industry,  said.  "I  could  never  walk  by  and  not  be  drawn  in  by 
the  smell  of  fresh  cookies."

brown  bag  luncheon  lounge 

Adult  Student  Services  offers  non-traditional 
students  place  to  eat,  study,  socialize 


DESIGNED  with  non-traditional  students 
in  mind,  Adult  Student  Services  offered  Brown 
Bag  Lunches  twice  each  week  to  provide  a  time 
and  place  students  could  interact. 

The  program  started  in  1986  with  speakers 
who  discussed  topics  ranging  from  financial  aid 
to  family  counseling  to  stress  management. 

Nancy  Bolsen,  director  of  Adult  Student 
Services,  said  the  original  idea  was  student 
driven  and  the  Association  of  Adults  Returning 
to  School  was  responsible  for  the  format  and 
agenda. 

When  the  last  non-traditional  student 
organization  disbanded  in  1995,  Adult  Student 
Services  took  over  the  responsibility  for  making 
room  arrangements  with  the  K- State  Student 
Union  Reservation  Office. 

"Through  the  years,  I  think  the  opportunity 
to  have  a  designated  space  to  call  their  own  has 
allowed  them  to  meet  new  friends,"  Bolsen  said. 
"It  has  provided  information  through  resources 
and  referrals,  giving  students  a  place  to  come 
and  share  experiences,  a  quiet  space  to  regroup, 
a  place  to  network  with  other  adult  students,  a 
comfort  zone  and  it  makes  a  statement  to  feel 


acknowledged,  valued  and  respected." 

Douglas  Gibson,  student  in  open-option, 
said  socializing,  relating  to  other  adults  and 
participating  in  group  therapy  were  benefits 
of  the  lunches.  Gibson  attended  the  lunches  for 
three  years,  and  said  he  rarely  missed  them. 

"There  are  only  two  things  that  would  keep 
me  from  missing  the  lunches,"  he  said.  "Those 
would  be  if  I  were  contained  in  a  rubber  room 
or  if  I  were  in  prison." 

The  lunches  were  offered  each  Tuesday  and 
Wednesday  during  the  semester,  including 
finals  week.  Throughout  the  first  weeks  of  each 
semester,  information  about  services  offered 
through  Adult  Student  Services  was  presented. 

If  a  student  was  a  parent,  married,  25  years 
old  or  was  starting  or  returning  to  higher 
education  after  a  three-year  absence,  Adult 
Student  Services  offered  a  one -stop  shop, 
Bolsen  said. 

"Adult  students,  both  undergraduate  and 
graduate,  make  up  about  21  percent  of  the  entire 
student  body,"  Bolsen  said.  "This  provides  an 
excellent  opportunity  for  those  students  to 
interact  with  one  another."

student  in  open-option,

Brown  Bag  Lunch  Oct. 
5,  which  was  spon-

Services.  The  program 
offered  non-traditional 
students  a  chance 
to  socialize  with  one 
another.  "We  like  to  talk 
about  what  we  want  to 
be  when  we  grow  up," 
Gibson  said.  —  Photo  by

DURING  THE  CYCLO- 
CROSS  RACE  Nov.  10, 
Scott  Hammack,  graduate 
student  in  mechanical 
engineering,  jumps  over 
a  barrier  on  the  cycling 
track.  The  race  was  the 
second  annual  CrossLogic 
Cyclocross  Challenge  in 
English  Landing  Park  in 
Parkville,  Mo.  "To  recruit 
members  for  the  team 
this  year,  we  made  stickers 
that  looked  like  address 
labels  with  the  meeting 
times  on  them  and  stuck 
them  on  people's  bikes 
on  campus,"  Hammack 
said.  "We  got  quite  a  bit  of 
response  from  doing  this."

arid  Over 
the  Barrier 

by  Michelle  Wilmes 

Intense,  weekly  practices  prepare 
cyclers  for  local,  national  competitions 

CYCLING  CLUB  competitions  differed  depending  on 
the  season.  Other  than  mountain  and  road  races,  the  cyclers 
participated  in  cyclocross  races  that  required  more  than  just 
riding  bikes. 

"In  the  cyclocross  race,  once  we  reach  a  barrier,  we  have 
to  get  off  the  bikes  and  carry  them  over  the  barrier,"  said 
Scott  Hammack,  vice  president  and  graduate  student  in 
mechanical  engineering.  "After  we're  over  the  barriers,  we 
continue  down  the  trail  until  we  reach  another  barrier,  and 
the  whole  process  starts  over  again." 

Aside  from  the  different  types  of  races  members 
participated  in,  the  opponents  also  varied.  Public  races  were 
open  for  anyone,  including  professionals.  Collegiate  races 
offered  a  closer  contest  since  skills  and  ages  were  similar  and 
because  fewer  racers  competed,  Hammack  said. 

Because  of  the  unpredictable  competition  in  the  public 
races,  Hammack  said  the  team  wasn't  able  to  accurately 
gauge  their  skill. 

"We  did  training  rides  three  times  a  week,"  Mark  Smelser, 
freshman  in  mechanical  engineering,  said.  "Once  a  week  we 
would  do  an  intense  short  ride.  Another  time  we  would  do 
a  medium-level,  medium-length  ride.  And  the  other  would 
last  for  about  four  hours,  but  it  wouldn't  be  as  intense."

continued  from  page  205 

To  mentally  prepare  for  the  races,  team  members  took 
practice  seriously. 

Smelser  said  his  first  major  race  Sept.  28  in  Nebraska 
made  him  nervous  because  he  wasn't  sure  about  the  trail 
and  the  competitions.  Despite  his  anxiety,  he  won. 

"I  did  a  whole  lot  better  than  I  thought  I  did,"  Smelser 
said.  "The  hills  weren't  what  I  was  used  to,  but  I  did  my  best 
and  I  won." 

In  addition  to  competing  against  local  teams,  such  as 
the  University  of  Kansas  and  the  University  of  Nebraska,  the 
club  also  competed  in  Burlington,  Vt.  at  the  national  level 
in  October. 

"As  a  team  we  finished  55th  out  of  130,  which  wasn't 
bad,"  Hammack  said.  "We  learned  a  lot  about  the  race  by 
competing  in  it.  Hopefully  we  can  use  this  knowledge  in 
order  to  prepare  to  compete  at  the  national  level  again." 


BRAD  PATTON,  senior  in 
sociology,  leads  two  of  his 
opponents  in  the  Cyclo- 
cross  race  Nov.  10.  "I  prefer 
racing  in  collegiate  races 
over  public  ones,"  Patton 
said.  "They  are  more  laid 
back,  and  because  we're 
all  of  similar  age,  it's  more 
of  a  party  atmosphere."

and  he  thought  it  would 
provide  a  good  source

Fawns  in

Club  provides  outlet,  social  atmosphere  for 
students,  Manhattan  chess  enthusiasts 

KNOCKS  MINGLED  with  loud  chatter  in  K- State  Student 
Union  206.  James  Wymore,  sophomore  in  pre -medicine, 
stared  at  the  game  board.  He  was  in  deep  concentration,  but 
not  so  much  as  to  miss  the  banter  of  his  friends. 

"I  like  the  all-around  activity  of  what  you  do  in  Chess 
Club,"  Wymore  said.  "You  keep  it  moving,  keep  it  fun,  keep 
it  loud.  We  tend  to  get  a  little  loud  and  verbally  abusive." 

The  only  serious  thing  about  the  club  was  fun,  he  said. 

"We're  always  throwing  remarks  at  each  other,"  said 
Jason  Stangle,  president  and  junior  in  animal  sciences  and 
industry.  "If  it  was  serious  all  the  time,  I'd  probably  drop  it. 
We're  normal  people.  We're  not  like  Bobby  Fischer.  We  don't 
think  and  live  chess  -  we  have  real  lives." 

Reasons  behind  joining  the  club  varied  from  avoiding 
homework  to  enjoying  a  social  outlet. 

"I  like  the  competition  and  getting  to  know  people,  just 
outside  of  the  actual  game,"  Craig  Wilson,  sophomore  in 
information  systems,  said.  "It  can  allow  you  to  meet  different 
students.  It's  also  good  for  the  mind.  It's  a  lot  of  strategy  and 
thinking,  which  is  always  a  good  thing." 

Wymore  said  he  liked  the  mental  challenge. 

"Playing  chess  makes  my  brain  function  in  ways  that 
school  doesn't,"  he  said.  "It  makes  the  brain  work  every  now 
and  then  and  causes  me  to  focus  on  control  and  general 
attacking  strategies."

practice  makes  perfect 

Club  provides  opportunity  to  speak  in  public, 
overcome  nervousness  associated  with  speech 


ACCORDING  TO  A  SURVEY  reported  in  the  Book  of 
Lists,  a  fear  of  public  speaking  was  ranked  No.  1  while  the 
fear  of  death  was  ranked  No.  2. 

"People  are  intimidated  by  speaking  in  front  of  others 
because  they  are  afraid  of  rejection,"  Mark  Pultz,  freshman 
in  business  administration,  said.  "Nobody  wants  to  look  like 
they  don't  know  what  they  are  talking  about." 

Twenty  members  of  Powercat  Masters  Toastmasters  met 
every  Tuesday  in  Durland  Hall  for  an  hour  to  augment  their 
public  speaking  skills. 

"Toastmasters  consists  of  everyone  getting  a  chance  to 
speak  through  different  roles,"  said  Audra  Dudte,  senior  in 
architectural  engineering.  "These  roles  include  speaking, 
evaluating,  answering  impromptu  questions  or  telling  a 
joke." 

At  each  meeting,  members  were  given  the  opportunity  to 
conduct  meetings,  present  one-to  two-minute  speeches  over 
an  assigned  topic  or  evaluate  the  given  speeches  by  pointing 
out  strengths  and  weaknesses. 

"I  went  from  being  a  person  who  could  barely  finish  a 
sentence  without  saying  'uh'  at  least  twice  and  now  I  can  speak 
for  10  minutes  without  any  verbal  faux  pas,"  said  William 
Schwartz,  junior  in  construction  science  and  management.  "I 
actually  enjoy  the  opportunity  to  speak  to  a  group  of  people, 
no  matter  who  they  are."

MAPJ  and  Green  Party  demonstrate 
against  military  action  toward  Iraq 

AFTER  PRESIDENT  GEORGE  W.  BUSH  spoke  to  the  U.N.  General 
Assembly,  Sept.  12,  warning  the  threat  of  Iraqi  weapons,  Campus  Greens 
and  the  Manhattan  Alliance  for  Peace  and  Justice  members  began 
demonstrating  on  the  corner  of  17th  and  Anderson  with  signs  reading 
"WAGE  PEACE"  and  "NO  WAR  IN  IRAQ." 

"In  the  media,  we're  kind  of  herded  to  go  to  war  without  understanding 
the  reasons,"  Greens  adviser  Jon  Tveite  said.  "There  are  a  lot  of  people  in 
the  country  who  don't  think  war  is  best  for  our  country." 

Campus  Greens,  a  group  comprised  mainly  of  students  in  the  Green 
Party,  was  committed  to  environmentalism,  non-violence  and  social 
justice,  according  to  its  Web  site,  www.greenparty.us.org. 

"The  Green  Party  is  against  war,"  said  Willie  Wake,  club  president  and 
freshman  in  political  science.  "A  lot  of  us  are  pacifists  —  we  want  peace. 
(Demonstrating)  gives  us  an  outlet  to  demonstrate  our  frustrations." 

Oct.  10  and  11,  U.S.  House  of  Representatives  and  Senate,  respectively, 
approved  a  resolution  granting  Bush  authority  to  wage  war  against  Iraq. 
The  legislative  bodies  asked  Bush  to  seek  support  from  the  U.N.  Security 
Council  and  work  to  build  an  international  coalition  before  invading. 

Nov.  8,  the  United  Nations  approved  a  mandate  to  send  inspectors  to 
Iraq  to  search  for  and  remove  weapons  of  mass  destruction. 

"It  feels  good,  like  what  we  did  was  vindicated,"  Wake  said.  "A  lot  of 
Americans  protested.  I  just  hope  the  U.S.  gives  the  U.N.  a  chance  to  work 
how  it's  supposed  to." 

Tveite  said  one  reason  they  demonstrated  was  to  question  the  way 
Bush  and  the  government  moved  into  the  situation. 

"They  have  a  program,"  he  said.  "If  you  look  at  the  polls,  many 
people  have  deeply  mixed  feeling  about  this.  I  think  some  people  support 
the  president  because  he  is  the  president.  But  if  you  asked  them  if  they 
thought  they  were  in  danger  from  Iraq,  they  wouldn't  agree." 

Campus  Greens  was  not  anti-military  or  angry  at  the  national 
government  like  some  protesters,  Tveite  said. 

"We're  good  Americans,"  he  said,  "but  just  don't  like  the  form  our 
foreign  policy  is  headed  in." 

Although  the  War  Resolution  passed  Nov.  8  and  U.N.  inspections 
started  Nov.  27,  demonstrations  continued  every  Monday  and  Tuesday. 

"We're  exercising  our  freedoms,"  Wake  said.  "Very  few  citizens  go  out 
and  exercise  freedoms  they're  entitled  to  besides  voting.  The  harder  we 
exercise  our  freedoms,  the  harder  it  will  be  to  try  and  take  them  away  in 
the  future."

competition  against  more  skilled  players 
proves  positive  for  teams  improvement 

JUNCTION  CITY'S  POPULATION  increased  by  12  K- State  students 
for  three  hours  Thursday  nights  when  roller  hockey  went  to  practice. 

"It's  the  only  place  within  100  miles  that  will  have  us,"  Coach  Jerry 
Remsbecker  said.  "We  pay  $7  a  head  for  three  hours  of  practice,  but  the 
deal  is  that  it  has  to  be  open  to  the  general  public,  too." 

Inside  Skate  City,  the  team  practiced  on  a  roller-skating  rink  against 
other  players  from  Fort  Riley  and  Junction  City. 

"It  hurts  us  a  lot,"  Johnna  Layer,  freshman  in  business  administration, 
said.  "We  don't  play  up  to  anyone  else's  level,  so  here  a  lot  of  the  guys  will 
slack  off  and  nobody  plays  up  to  their  potential.  The  rink  is  bigger  at  the 
games  and  here  it's  small.  We  don't 
have  the  right  boards,  so  many  fac- 
tors hurt  us  because  we  don't  have 
some  things." 

Halfway  through  the  season, 
the  team's  3-5-1  record  reflected 
its  inexperience. 

"The  season  isn't  going  as 
well  as  we'd  like  it  to  go,"  Terence 
Takeguchi,  senior  in  management, 
said.  "We  lost  some  key  guys  last 
year,  but  we  definitely  have  some 
talented  freshmen  on  the  team  this 
year.  It's  taken  a  lot  for  this  team  to 
come  together." 

The  league's  challengers  also  posted  obstacles. 

"Competition  is  much  higher  than  it's  ever  been,"  Remsbecker  said. 
"Two  years  ago  when  I  started,  we  ran  the  league.  There  was  not  any  com- 
petition. Last  year  there  were  three  competitive  teams  and  this  year  there 
were  only  three  teams  left  from  last  year.  All  the  new  teams  that  came  in 
were  incredibly  good,  so  every  game  was  a  stretch  for  us." 

Despite  difficulties  at  the  league  level,  the  team  managed  to  enjoy  its 
Junction  City  practices  and  interaction  with  skaters  from  Fort  Riley. 

"We  get  out  there  and  have  a  lot  of  fun,"  Layer  said.  "It's  just  a  lot  of 
big  guys  out  there  with  sticks  and  the  people  from  Fort  Riley  put  a  little  bit 
of  a  twist  to  it.  A  lot  of  them  are  good.  It  gets  more  players  for  us,  because 
some  nights  we  only  get  12  players  from  K- State  who  show  up." 

"In  some  ways  (practicing  with  Fort  Riley  skaters)  helps  us  and  some 
ways  it  hurts  us.  If  they  don't  show  up  we  can  actually  practice  and  do 
drills,  but  it's  nice  having  them  there." 


SUITING  UP,  Ben  Murphy, 
senior  in  social  science, 
gets  ready  for  the  roller 
hockey  team's  practice  in 
Lawrence  at  Sport  2  Sport. 
The  team  rented  the  rink 
for  a  two-hour  practice 
for  a  change  from  their 
regular  practice  facility  in 
Junction  City.  "Practicing 
at  Skate  City,  helps  and 
it  hurts,  what  I  see  more 
than  anything  else  since 
we  are  unable  to  actually 
have  a  practice  and  all 
we  do  is  scrimmage,  we 
reinforce  bad  habits," 
Coach  Jerry  Remsbecker 
said.  —  Photo  by

Careful  detailed  planning  helps  make  Fashion  Show  a  popular  event, 
mini  walk-throughs  prepare  models,  event  committee  members 


WALKING  DOWN  THE  RUNWAY  to  the  theme  of 
"American  Graffiti,"  12  models  participated  in  the  second 
annual  Fashion  Show  at  the  All -University  Open  House, 
April  6. 

Planning  for  the  show  began  December  2001  for 
coordinators  Renee  Frazey  and  Jennifer  Rogers,  seniors  in 
apparel  marketing  and  design. 

"When  we  all  got  back  in  January,  planning  was  from 
then  until  the  day  of  the  show,"  Frazey  said.  "It  took  four 
months." 

Three  committees  worked  to  find  models,  select  clothing, 
and  create  the  set  designs. 

Most  of  the  clothing  for  the  show  came  from  Manhattan 
retail  stores,  though  some  of  the  clothing  designs  came  from 
the  apparel  marketing  and  design  program. 

"There  was  an  on-call  in  the  (design)  program  (for 
students  to  submit  designs),"  Frazey  said.  "Some  students 
actually  had  their  own  designs  in  the  show." 

Amber  Fort,  head  of  the  set  design  committee  and  junior 
in  apparel  marketing  and  design,  helped  brainstorm  ideas  for 
the  look  of  the  show. 


"A  backdrop  was  painted  to  be  a  brick  wall  and  we  had 
graffiti  painted  on  the  wall,"  Fort  said.  "We  also  had  trash, 
old  tires  and  trash  cans  with  fake  fire  in  them." 

Creating  the  set  took  nearly  three  weeks  for  the  committee 
to  complete,  Fort  said. 

"It  was  down  to  the  wire  of  getting  it  done,  but  we  got  it 
done,"  Fort  said.  "It  took  two  nights  to  paint  the  brick  and 
then  we  took  it  to  a  guy  to  put  the  graffiti  on,  which  took  one 
week." 

Having  goals  for  the  show  helped  keep  everything 
on  schedule,  but  their  most  important  goal  was  meeting 
deadlines,  Rogers  said. 

Practices  also  kept  the  show  on  schedule. 

"There  were  two  mini  walk-throughs  to  help  the  models 
know  where  to  walk,"  Rogers  said.  "The  morning  of  the  show, 
we  had  a  full  dress  walk-through,  complete  with  music, 
clothing  and  staging." 

The  event  was  popular  at  the  open  house  and  the  crowd 
proved  it,  Frazey  said. 

"We  had  two  shows  lasting  20  minutes  each,"  Frazey  said. 
"They  were  both  full  to  capacity."

Students  contribute  to  museum 
events,  fund-raising  activities 


FOR  ONE  EVENING,  1950s  decorations  and  memora- 
bilia and  the  Student  Friends  of  the  Marianna  Kistler  Beach 
Museum  of  Art,  brought  Dorothy,  Toto  and  30  shoes  back 
from  the  Golden  Age  to  the  Manhattan  Country  Club  on 
Nov.  8. 

The  Student  Friends  helped  the  Friends  of  the  Beach  Mu- 
seum of  Art  acquire  funds  to  defray  the  expense  of  publish- 
ing a  hardcover  book  featuring  50  items  from  the  museum's 
permanent  collection. 

To  raise  funds,  the  Friends  and  Student  Friends  orga- 
nized a  silent  auction  of  30  shoes  designed  by  local  celeb- 
rities and  artists.  The  theme  of  the  evening,  "Beyond  Oz 
. . .  Dorothy  Goes  Fab  '50s,"  was  incorporated  through  the 
decorations  and  music. 

"We  serve  as  the  'go -to'  girls,"  Meredith  Moore,  sopho- 
more in  fine  arts,  said.  "We'll  help  set  up  and  be  there  if  they 
need  anything.  As  payment,  we  get  to  attend  for  free  and  rub 
elbows  with  the  fancy  folks." 

Student  Friends  sold  raffle  tickets,  assisted  with  the  silent 
auction  and  set  up  and  took  down  decorations. 

"They  are  always  so  willing  to  help,"  Deloris  Bertland, 
fund-raising  chairperson,  said.  "We  really  couldn't  do  it 
without  them." 

Marie  Konarik,  junior  in  geology,  said  students  from  all 
majors  were  welcome  to  join  the  group. 

"Art  is  not  the  main  emphasis  of  the  group,"  she  said. 
"Just  because  you're  not  an  artist  doesn't  mean  this  can't  be 
interesting  or  fun."

Students  continue  concrete  canoe  tradition, 
have  home  advantage  for  competition 

WITH  REMNANTS  of  cement  canoes  of  yesteryear 
stacked  along  the  wall,  the  2003  K- State  Concrete  Canoe 
Team  calculated  to  ensure  the  continuation  of  a  strong 
tradition. 

The  Concrete  Canoe  was  an  experience  for  the  students 
who  constructed  it  piece  by  piece,  said  Tricia  Petr  and  Kelly 
Cool,  co -chairs  and  juniors  in  civil  engineering. 

Petr  and  Cool  said  organizing  the  project  and  raising 
funds  were  the  toughest  parts. 

"The  construction  part  is  fairly  easy,"  Petr  said.  "It  is  just 
getting  stuff  done  on  time  that  is  kind  of  tricky." 

The  boat  was  not  held  together  with  typical  concrete 
consisting  of  large  rocks  and  heavy  sand.  Glass  beads  and 
other  alternative  materials,  were  used  to  make  the  canoe 
light  enough  to  float  even  when  filled  with  water. 

Competing  schools  offered  the  project  as  a  class  within 
their  curriculum,  but  K- State  did  not  offer  the  same  option. 

"It  is  all  on  our  own  time  and  money,"  Cameron 
McGown,  senior  in  civil  engineering,  said.  "We  do  fund 
raising  and  we  have  corporate  sponsors  along  with  a  few 
local  contractors." 

With  annual  costs  of  $  10,000,  McGown  said  sponsorships 
were  as  vital  to  the  continuation  of  the  program,  as  all  of  the 
student  hours  dedicated  to  the  construction  of  the  canoe. 

"We  have  to  do  a  paper  outlining  the  process  and 
everything,"  McGown  said.  "If  we  totaled  up  all  of  our 
hours  and  what  we  would  get  paid  if  this  were  an  actual  job, 
it  would  be  somewhere  around  $80,000." 

The  team  of  around  30  civil  engineering  students 
constructed  the  canoe  to  participate  in  a  regional 
competition  which  tests  the  agility,  longevity  and  speed  of 
the  canoe. 

The  regional  competition  at  Tuttle  Creek  Dam  and 
Reservoir,  April  24-26,  gave  K- State  a  home  advantage. 

"Since  I  have  been  at  K- State,  the  University  of  Nebraska 
has  not  had  a  boat  that  has  finished  a  race,"  McGown  said.

Club  yields  every  effort  to  help  enhance 
community,  build  personal  relationships 


A  BLACK  TRASH  BAG  filled  with  unrecog- 
nizable bits  of  rubbish  sat  in  the  grass  alongside 
Kansas  Highway  18. 

"Eww,  what's  that?"  Brandon  Damas,  fresh- 
man in  architectural  engineering,  said,  point- 
ing at  the  lump  of  trash.  "It  looks  like  a  dead 
body." 

On  Nov.  10,  members  of  the  Pre -Veterinary 
Medicine  Club  gathered  at  the  entrance  to  the 
Manhattan  Regional  Airport  for  a  community 
service  project  cleaning  up  the  highway. 

"We  try  to  do  it  once  a  semester,"  said  Jen- 
nifer M.  Ramsey,  vice  president  and  senior  in 
microbiology,  "depending  on  the  weather." 

The  club  members  spent  approximately 
90  minutes  picking  up  litter  along  a  two -mile 
stretch  of  highway. 

In  addition  to  highway  litter  control,  the  club 
participated  in  several  philanthropic  events. 

"We  help  out  at  the  animal  shelter,  too,"  Lar- 
issa  Lill,  president  and  junior  in  life  sciences,  said. 
"We'll  normally  bathe  and  groom  the  animals  to 
get  them  ready  for  adoption." 

Lill  said  they  also  helped  a  local  wildlife 
refuge  and  wanted  to  expand  their  services. 

"This  year  we're  going  to  try  to  do  a  bake  sale, 


but  with  animal  treats,"  Lill  said.  "We're  always 
trying  to  come  up  with  new  things  to  do." 

Though  community  service  was  a  huge  part 
of  the  club's  substance,  members  made  time  for 
fund-raising,  Charissa  Wood,  sophomore  in 
animal  sciences  and  industry,  said. 

"We  have  fund-raising  activities  where  we 
work  the  football  games,  clean  Bramlage  or  sell 
T-shirts  at  the  National  Pre -Veterinary  Medi- 
cine Symposium,"  Wood  said.  "All  the  fund 
raising  goes  toward  sending  our  members  to 
the  NPVMS." 

Study  time  and  friendships  were  important 
to  club  members,  Wood  said. 

"We  do  things  as  a  club  so  that  people  can  get 
to  know  each  other,"  she  said.  "We  have  review 
sessions  where  people  in  the  club  can  review  for 
a  test  and  study.  We're  a  support  group  for  each 
other.  You  make  friends  through  the  club." 

Lill  said  projects  like  the  highway  clean-up 
were  an  important  part  of  the  club. 

"Working  within  the  community,  helping  the 
environment  and  all  of  those  things  fit  in  with 
animals  and  led  back  to  veterinary  medicine," 
Lill  said.  "It's  just  a  way  to  help  the  community 
and  keep  it  clean."

Engineering  honor  society  members  tackle  annual 
project,  freshen  K- Hill  with  new  coat  of  paint 


ATOP  K-HILL,  with  an  approximately  70 -degree  drop 
below,  30  Tau  Beta  Pi  members  received  one  piece  of  advice 
from  the  club's  vice  president. 

"No  one  gets  on  the  letters,"  Benjamin  Sommers,  senior 
in  mechanical  engineering,  said  pointing  down  the  hill.  "If 
you  do,  you'll  be  down  there  and  it'll  be  really,  really  bad." 

For  the  past  30  years,  Tau  Beta  Pi  members  cleaned  up 
and  painted  K-Hill  on  the  southeast  end  of  Manhattan. 

"As  an  engineering  honor  society  we're  in  a  position 
where  we  want  to  do  some  community  service,"  Sommers

ing, dumps  whitewash

said.  "We  are  somewhat  of  a  service -oriented  honor  society 
and  we're  just  trying  to  promote  community  service.  It's 
something  relatively  simple,  it's  nothing  big  necessarily,  it 
just  makes  KS  hill  look  better  and  that  makes  Manhattan 
look  better." 

The  four-hour  process  began  with  members  picking 
up  trash  to  put  in  large  black  bags  that  were  later  picked 
up  by  the  county.  Then  a  human  chain  passed  buckets  of 
whitewash  to  coat  the  letters. 

Some  surprising  items  were  found  along  the  way 
including  an  engine,  table  and  a  couch. 

"It's  quite  a  bit  of  work,"  Matthew  McGuire,  junior  in 
chemical  engineering,  said.  "There  is  a  lot  of  trash  out  here 
and  there's  all  kinds  of  stuff.  It's  more  work  than  I  expected, 
I  just  took  a  motor  up." 

The  K  on  K-Hill  was  constructed  in  1921  by  the  College 
of  Engineering.  The  S  was  added  nine  years  later. 

The  day  provided  a  chance  for  new  and  veteran  club 
members  to  bond  and  work  together,  said  Clinton  Williams, 
president  and  senior  in  computer  engineering. 

"You  watch  some  people  bond  and  get  to  know  each 
other  the  rest  of  their  time  here,"  he  said.  "It's  kind  of  a 
unique  society  because  it's  not  from  one  discipline,  it's  the 
entire  College  of  Engineering  that's  allowed  in  here  as  long 
as  they're  engineers.  You  meet  people  that  you  wouldn't 
normally  meet  and  it's  nice  in  that  aspect."

COMING  OFF  a  25-28  rebuilding  year  in  2001,  the  2002 
j^jjdfcat  baseball  team  accomplished  team  goals  and  made 
its  first-ever  Big  12  Tournament  appearance. 

"We  did  pretty  good  considering  it  was  our  first  Big  12 
and  we  tied  for  5th,"  Brad  Anzman,  freshman  outfielder, 
said.  "The  Big  12  is  America's  baseball  powerhouse  and  we 
had  some  big  wins  against  some  good  teams  and  we  sur- 
prised a  lot  of  people." 

The  team  lost  in  postseason  play  to  Texas  Tech,  5-4,  but 
beat  Baylor,  6-2,  and  Texas  Tech,  7-6.  The  Cats'  season  ended 
after  their  second  tournament  loss,  falling  to  Nebraska,  8-7. 

"We  were  pretty  confident  in  what  we  could  do,"  An- 
zman said.  "We  knew  it  was  double  elimination  and  we 
didn't  dwell  on  the  first  loss.  We  woke  up  the  next  day  with  a 
new  attitude  and  decided  we  needed  to  get  better." 

The  Wildcats  came  to  camp  in  fall  2001,  with  16  new 
players  and  13  returning  members,  not  really  knowing  what 
to  expect,  Coach  Mike  Clark  said.

HITTING  THE  DIRT,  junior 
second  baseman  Brandon 
Taylor  dives  for  the  ball 
during  a  game  against 
Western  Illinois  at  Frank 
Myers  Field.  The  Wildcats 
won  the  series  3-1.  At  the 
beginning  of  the  season, 
Taylor  was  not  the  only 
second  baseman.  He  split 
second  base  duties  with 
six  other  players  until 
Coach  Mike  Clark  was  able 
to  find  the  best  combina- 
tion on  the  field.  "Eventu- 
ally we  found  the  right 
people,"  he  said.  "When 
we  did,  we  took  off.  At  the 
end  of  the  season  we  were 
one  of  the  better  teams 
in  the  Midwest  and  in  the 
Big  12."  — Photo  by 
Kelly  Glasscock 


Unexpected  Success 

continued  from  page  228 

"Unfortunately  we  lost  some  games  we  shouldn't  have," 
Clark  said,  "but  we  had  to  do  that  in  order  to  find  who  was 
going  to  fit  into  what  role  and  who  was  going  to  start." 

Clark  said  that  rivalry  within  his  ball  club  helped  them 
stay  competitive. 

"We  had  good  competition  within  the  team  and  that 
was  positive,"  Clark  said.  "It  made  everybody  on  the  team 
become  better  and  we  finally  found  the  right  combination." 

Another  feat  for  the  team  included  their  30 -win  season, 
the  first  in  five  years. 

"We  came  to  every  game  like  we  were  going  to  win,"  Pat 
Maloney,  junior  outfielder,  said.  "We  stepped  on  the  field 
and  we  felt  like  we  were  even  with  every  team  we  played." 

Individual  efforts  were  recognized  with  six  Academic 
All-Big  12,  five  Phillips  66  Big  12  Pitcher  or  Player  of  the 
Week,  and  six  All-Big  12  Conference  honors. 

Clark  said  the  team's  success  resulted  from  players' 
actions  speaking  louder  than  their  words. 

"Talk  is  one  thing,  but  going  out  and  doing  it  is 
completely  different,"  Clark  said.  "We  went  out  in  the  last 
part  of  the  season  and  did  it.  It  didn't  matter  who  we  were 
playing,  where  we  were  playing,  the  guys  really  walked  the 
walk  and  didn't  do  too  much  talking.  They  let  their  bats  and 
gloves  do  the  talking." 

Clark  became  the  first  coach  in  K- State  sports  to  post 
400  wins  -  ending  the  season  with  420  -  adding  to  team  and 
individual  accolades.

LOVE  ALL 

seniors  offer  leadership 


by  Brent  Gray 


COMPETING  IN  SINGLES, 
freshman  Maria  Rosen- 
berg returns  a  forehand 
to  her  Baylor  opponent, 
Daria  Potapova.  Rosen- 
berg lost  the  match  in 
straight  sets,  6-2, 6-2. 
This  was  her  first  loss  of 
the  season.  The  team 
found  leaders  in  seniors 
Alena  Jecminkova  and 
Kathy  Chuda.  "They 
gave  us  a  lot  of  confi- 
dence," sophomore 
Andrea  Cooper  said. 
"We  could  trust  them 
to  play  well.  They  were 
great  leaders  and  had 
a  big  influence  on  all  of 
us.  They  worked  hard 
for  us."

INDIVIDUAL  SUCCESSES  came  about  in  2002. 

Alena  Jecminkova  and  Kathy  Chuda  saw  their  careers 
dressed  in  purple  come  to  an  end. 

"Together  they  have  probably  won  over  200  matches,"  Coach 
Steve  Bietau  said.  "They  bring  a  good  level  of  tennis  to  the  program 
and  have  developed  into  good  ambassadors  for  the  team." 

Jecminkova,  95th  in  the  Intercollegiate  Tennis  Associa- 
tion rankings,  ended  collegiate  play  with  a  6-3,  6-2  loss  in 
the  second  round  of  the  NCAA  singles  tournament  to  No.  24 
Alice  Pirsu  of  Pennsylvania. 

Jecminkova  finished  with  an  18-13  record  and  a  career 
mark  of  65-48.  She  was  only  the  second  K- Stater  to  win  an 
NCAA  singles  tournament  match  in  the  program's  history. 

She  was  surprised  to  make  it  to  the  tournament,  so  her 
good  performance  also  came  as  a  shock,  she  said. 

Jecminkova  also  garnered  another  honor  when  she  was 
named  Big  12  Tennis  Player  of  the  Year. 

Chuda  started  at  K- State  as  the  No.  3  singles  player  in  the 
program  and  left  in  the  No.  2  spot,  behind  Jecminkova. 

"That  is  personally  gratifying,"  Chuda  said.  "I  always 
wanted  to  play  at  a  higher  number  because  I  was  winning 
at  the  other  spots  but  the  other  girls  were  winning  too.  I 
wanted  to  have  a  good  finish  to  my  career." 

Chuda  said  she  does  not  regret  making  the  trip  to  Man- 
hattan from  the  Czech  Republic. 

"I  have  learned  so  much  about  other  cultures,"  she  said. 
"I  have  enjoyed  being  a  member  of  a  team." 

Both  team  members  will  be  missed  and  the  squad  will 
need  to  find  replacements  for  their  captains,  Bietau  said. 

"They  are  leaders,"  he  said.  "It  is  important  for  those  who  have 
been  in  the  program  to  set  an  example  for  others,  and  they  have  done 
a  good  job  this  year.  They  leave  a  big  hole  to  fill  for  next  year." 

The  tennis  team  concluded  the  2002  spring  season  with  a  loss 
in  the  quarterfinals  of  the  Big  12  Tournament  to  the  No.  3  seeded 
Kansas  Jayhawks,  4-1.  The  sixth  seeded  Cats'  record  fell  to  12-8 
on  the  season,  finishing  the  year  No.  53  in  the  ITA  rankings. 

Junior  Petra  Sedlmajerova  was  only  the  second  Wildcat  ever 
named  to  the  Verizon  Academic  All-District  At-Large  Team.

BEHIND  COACH  CLIFF  ROVELTO'S  DESK  hung  a  poster  of  track 
great  Steve  Prefontaine.  The  black  and  white  poster  read,  "To  give  anything 
less  than  your  best  is  to  sacrifice  the  gift." 

Pre  s  quote  was  one  of  Rovelto's  favorites  for  life  and  track  and  field,  he  said. 

"I've  just  always  admired  kids  who  have  been  willing  to  put  a  lot 
into  whatever  it  is  they're  doing,"  Rovelto  said.  "When  people  don't  take 
advantage  of  what's  there  for  them,  I  don't  care  if  they  end  up  winning,  I 
still  don't  think  that  they've  won." 

Men's  track  finished  their  season  fifth  in  the  Big  12,  after  a  steady 
climb,  matching  last  year's  finish  and  bettering  2000's  by  four  places. 

Senior  Terrence  Newman  won  his  second  Big  12  title  in  the  100-meter  run. 

"It's  tough  for  a  guy  to  go  out  and  do  that  because  there  is  not  much 
difference  between  those  guys  at  the  top,"  Rovelto  said.  "It's  a  very 
competitive  sprint  conference.  He  not  only  won,  there  was  no  question  in 
anyone's  mind  that  when  the  race  was  over  he  was  the  best  guy." 

Sophomore  thrower  Craig  Smith  finished  12th  in  the  javelin  throw  at 
the  Big  12  meet  with  a  team,  and  season,  and  best  throw  of  191-11. 

"Craig  has  made  amazing  progress  this  year,  adding  some  46  feet 
to  last  year's  personal  best,"  Throwers'  Coach  Steve  Fritz  said.  "He  just 
seems  to  continue  to  get  better  and  better  physically  each  week." 

Sophomore  distance  runner  Joseph  Lee  also  made  a  name  for  himself. 

"Joseph's  race  at  the  Nebraska  meet  was  a  nice  breakthrough  performance," 
Mike  Smith,  middle  distance  coach  said.  "The  ease  with  which  he  ran  was  also 
an  indication  that  he  can  run  faster." 

Lee  finished  second  in  the  800-meter  in  the  Big  12  Championships. 

"It's  a  very  good  team  and  they've  made  really  good  progress  over  the 
past  couple  of  years,"  Rovelto  said.  "We  feel  like  we've  got  a  good  team  and 
what  they  did  over  the  past  couple  of  years  is  what  got  us  to  this  point."

SUB-PAR  ROUNDS 

highs  and  lows  costly  in  women's  season 

by  Andi  Rice 

ONE  CONSISTENCY  defined  the  spring  2002  women's 
golf  team:  constant  change. 

"We  were  too  inconsistent,"  Coach  Kristi  Knight  said. 
"Our  bad  rounds  were  really  bad.  Our  good  rounds  were 
good,  but  when  we  had  a  bad  day  it  was  terrible." 

The  team  started  with  two  appearances  that  were  less 
than  pleasing,  Knight  said. 

"We  had  two  tournaments,  and  they  were  both  awful  in 
a  word,"  she  said.  "We  were  throwing  away  too  many  shots. 
We  were  not  getting  it  in  the  hole." 

Following  a  13th -place  finish  at  the  Texas  A&M  Verizon 
Tournament  in  Byran,  Texas,  the  Wildcats  captured  their 
first  tournament  title  in  six  years  at  the  Mountain  View 
Collegiate  Tournament  in  Tucson,  Ariz. 

"I  was  very  proud  of  them  for  winning,"  Knight  said.  "It 
was  an  enormous  accomplishment.  We  not  only  won,  but  we 
beat  the  No.  9  team  (Arizona  State)  in  the  country." 

Through  the  fall  and  spring,  sophomore  Christine  Boucher 
posted  nine  top -10  finishes  in  12  tournaments.  She  also  placed 
second  in  the  Big  12  Tournament,  shooting  224,  the  lowest  54- 
hole  score  by  a  Wildcat  in  conference  championship  history.  The 
performance  earned  her  All- Conference  Second  Team  honors. 

"I  played  really  well,"  Boucher  said.  "I  just  focused  on 
what  I  needed  to  do  and  my  game,  and  let  it  happen." 

On  May  9,  the  team  started  as  the  18th  seed  in  the  NCAA 
Central  Regional  Tournament  in  West  Lansing,  Mich., 
and  finished  15th  to  end  the  season  on  a  positive  note.  But 
Knight  said  improvements  needed  to  be  made. 

"We  have  to  learn  from  our  bad  rounds,"  Knight  said. 
"We  could  have  been  a  lot  better.  We're  pretty  good,  but  we 
can  be  a  hell  of  a  lot  better."

move  forward  in  national  rankings 

IMPROVEMENT. 

With  one  word  Coach  Tim  Norris  summed  up  his  team's 
spring  season  after  a  32 -position  jump  from  No.  106  to  74 
in  the  Sagarin  rankings  and  a  7th-place  finish  in  the  Big  12 
Tournament. 

"We  made  a  pretty  big  jump,"  Norris  said,  "but  it's  kind 
of  like  a  diet.  The  first  couple  of  pounds  come  off  pretty  quick 
but  after  that  you  really  have  to  work  at  it.  We  played  pretty 
well  at  the  tournament.  It  was  an  improvement  from  last  year 
when  we  were  8th  place.  It  was  a  good  end  to  the  year." 

Junior  Aaron  Watkins  and  sophomore  A.J.  Elgert  led 
the  Wildcats  through  the  season.  Watkins  ended  his  year 
with  a  three-day  score  of  212,  placing  sixth  in  the  Big  12 
Tournament,  the  highest  ranking  in  K- State  history. 

He  was  also  the  only  Wildcat  to  qualify  for  the  NCAA 
Central  Regional  Tournament.  Elgert  played  in  all  seven 
tournaments  for  the  Wildcats  and  placed  in  the  top  20  five 
times. 

"We  pushed  each  other,"  Elgert  said.  "We're  good  friends, 
but  nobody  wants  to  lose.  We  help  each  other  out,  but  we 
always  have  our  competitive  nature." 

The  Wildcats  ended  the  spring  season  with  six  top- 10 
finishes. 

Norris  said  in  his  six  years  as  coach,  this  year's  was  the 
toughest  schedule  as  far  as  quality  and  strength  for  the 
Wildcats. 

"Our  tournament  schedule  was  tougher  because  we  had 
more  tournaments  and  it  was  something  we  weren't  used  to," 
Watkins  said.  "The  traveling  was  wearing  us  out,  but  we  had  a 
positive  team  and  no  one  was  ever  negative.  There  was  always 
someone  there  to  pick  you  up  and  get  you  going  again."

AS  THE  LIGHTS  REFLECTED  off  the  field  and  the 
scoreboard  displayed  the  48-3  outcome  of  the  game  against 
Western  Kentucky,  fans  hurried  from  KSU  Stadium. 

But  for  31 -year- old  Jaime  Mendez  the  evening  ended  too 
soon. 

Mendez  stood  in  the  stands,  looked  onto  the  field,  then 
turned  his  gaze  to  one  of  the  names  that  would  be  on  the  east 
wall  of  the  stadium  as  long  as  the  arena  stood. 

It  was  his  name. 

Mendez,  a  1994  K- State  graduate  and  former  safety  for  the 
Wildcats  during  the  1990-93  seasons,  said  he  couldn't  express 
his  feelings  as  he  peered  at  his  name. 

"It  just  feels  like  they've  got  the  wrong  guy,"  Mendez  said. 
"I  can't  describe  or  explain  the  feeling  of  seeing  my  name  up 
there,  I  just  wish  that  everyone  could  feel  like  I  feel  now.  It 
is  amazing." 

The  night  before  the  game  Mendez  and  five  other  former 
K- State  players  -  Veryl  Switzer,  Lynn  Dickey,  Steve  Grogan, 
Gary  Spani  and  Sean  Snyder  -  were  inducted  into  the  Football 
Ring  of  Honor  for  distinctions  on  and  off  the  field  and 
accomplishments  during  their  time  at  K- State. 

During  the  ceremony  others  involved  in  building  the 
football  program,  including  former  Athletic  Directors  Dick 
Towers  and  Ernie  Barrett  and  former  Coach  Vince  Gibson, 
introduced  each  player.  K- State  President  Jon  Wefald  and  Vice 
President  Bob  Krause  also  presented  awards. 

"This  is  just  another  part  of  the  story,"  Krause  said.  "The 
ring  of  honor  is  another  chapter  in  the  story,  and  I  think  it 
signals  determination  that  we  have  a  tradition,  and  we  are  in 


for  their  on,  off  field  successes 

by  Andi  Rice 

a  position  to  finally  honor  those  who  have  helped  make  this 
tradition  possible." 

As  the  players  were  introduced,  highlights  and 
achievements  of  their  careers  were  shown  in  a  video  clip. 

Each  inductee  mentioned  what  the  football  team  had 
done  for  them  and  told  of  the  family  it  had  created  for  them 
to  return  to. 

"Whether  you  played  in  the  '50s,  '70s,  or  '90s  it  doesn't 
matter,"  Dickey  said.  "We're  all  a  family.  When  I  come  back 
here  and  see  the  purple  people,  or  wherever  I  see  them-  all 
over  the  state,  all  over  the  country-  it's  a  close-knit  group.  I'm 
proud  to  be  a  purple  person  and  I  always  will  be." 

Head  coach  Bill  Snyder  ended  the  ceremony  telling  the 
inductees  he  was  proud  to  have  them  as  a  part  of  his  family. 

"Millions  and  millions  and  millions  of  people  are  going 
to  have  the  opportunity  to  walk  into  that  stadium,  care  about 
Kansas  State  and  look  up  and  say  'you  know  those  guys  are 
a  big  part  of  our  family,'"  Snyder  said.  "It's  special  for  them, 
and  rightfully  so.  What  a  neat  thing  to  have  your  name  there 
in  perpetuity,  I  mean,  it  is  there  forever." 

Before  leaving  the  stadium,  Mendez  walked  onto  the  field 
paused  for  a  moment  and  took  one  last  look  at  his  name. 

"The  last  things  I  thought  about  before  leaving  the  stadium 
were  all  the  old  memories,"  Mendez  said.  "I  thought  about 
everything-  the  bowl  victory,  me  becoming  an  All- American, 
thinking  about  me  almost  going  to  Ohio  State  to  begin  with. 
If  I  would  have  made  one  decision  different  it  wouldn't  have 
brought  me  here  and  I  wouldn't  have  had  my  name  up  there 
on  that  wall."

Ordinary  Day 


Rigorous  schedule  typical  for  re 


u  bni! 


IF  ASKED  AT  6  A.M.  if  he  was  living  his  dream  life, 
freshman  Brandon  Archer  would  say,  "Hell  no." 

In  his  first  year  of  Division  I  football,  he  had  to  do 
everything  the  starters  did,  but  he  would  not  receive  any 
recognition  on  game  days  due  to  his  classification  as  a  red 
shirt. 

After  three-and-one-half  hours  of  sleep  the  night  before, 
Archer  stood  in  the  weight  room  at  the  Vanier  Football 
Complex  for  his  daily  weight  lifting  routine. 

"I  picture  myself  kind  of  like  a  machine,"  Archer  said. 
"I'm  programmed  to  do  all  of  this  stuff,  and  I  just  do  it.  It's 
hard  with  limiting  sleep.  I  have  to  manage  my  time  to  have 
energy." 

Following  weights,  Archer  returned  to  Haymaker  538 
to  finish  folding  his  laundry  and  take  a  quick  shower  before 
heading  to  his  first  class. 

"I  didn't  have  any  other  time  today  that  I  could  do  my 
laundry,"  Archer  said.  "So,  I  had  to  wash  it  last  night  at  2:30 
in  the  morning." 

In  freshman  seminar  class  at  8:30  a.m.,  Archer's 
eyes  drooped  with  exhaustion,  along  with  several  of  his 
teammates  who  were  in  the  class. 

As  the  guest  speaker  encouraged  the  class  to  participate 
in  a  discussion,  the  men  made  football  analogies  so  they 
could  bring  a  football  mind  set  to  the  subject.  When  the 
class  was  over,  Archer  slowly  packed  up  his  bag  and  walked 
back  to  his  room. 

"During  the  day,"  Archer  said,  "every  break  I  have  I 
usually  try  to  get  back  to  the  room  and  get  some  sleep  or 
something  to  eat." 

As  10:30  a.m.  rolled  around,  Archer  began  another 
segment  of  classes  that  lasted  until  1:30  p.m.,  and  then  he 
went  back  to  Vanier. 

"It's  a  love-hate  relationship,"  Archer  said.  "You  can 
talk  about  how  much  you  don't  want  to  do  things,  but  you 
just  love  being  on  the  field.  Saturday  game  days  are  a  real 
reassurance  of  why  you're  doing  everything.  You  get  the

didn't  play  in  the  games.

reassurance  of 'this  is  what  I'm  here  for.'" 

At  Vanier,  Archer  sat  through  a  linebacker  meeting, 
watching  film  and  discussing  the  day's  and  week's  goals. 
Bret  Bielema,  co- defensive  coordinator  and  linebackers' 
coach,  said  he  was  pleased  with  Archer's  progress. 

"Brandon  is  a  very  focused  young  man,"  Bielema  said. 
"He'll  know  what  he  needs  to  do,  how  it  needs  to  be  done, 
and  he'll  know  the  right  way  about  going  about  it.  He  is  in  a 
situation  where  he  immerses  himself  into  the  task  at  hand. 
Whatever  he  does,  he  throws  himself  into  it  full  willing.  He 
knows  how  to  get  by  and  do  things  the  right  way." 
Practice  lasted  from  4  until  6:30  p.m. 
"We  try  not  to  get  discouraged,"  said  freshman  Sean 
Lowe,  Archer's  roommate  and  teammate.  "We  practice 
just  as  hard  as  everyone  else,  but 
we  just  don't  get  to  play  on  game 
days." 

After  practice,  Archer  found 
a  ride  to  the  Derby  Dining  Center 
where  he  ate  in  the  training  line 
for  athletes. 

Then  it  was  study  time. 
"I'm   required  to  put   in   six 
hours  each  week  at  the  complex," 
Archer  said.  "Outside  of  that,  I 
study  some  at  Hale  and  in  my  room." 

By  10  p.m.,  his  day  started  to  wind  down  and  he  talked 
to  family  and  friends  in  Minnesota  for  what  he  hoped  would 
be  a  little  bit,  although  it  usually  ended  up  being  a  long  time, 
he  said. 

His  day  ended  unusually  early  at  1 1  p.m.  He  prepared  for 
bed  and  checked  his  alarm  to  make  sure  it  was  set  for 
5:30  a.m. 

The  machine  would  be  reprogrammed  the  next  day  to 
start  its  routine  again. 

"It's  another  phase  in  my  life,"  Archer  said.  "I  just  know 
this  is  what  I  need  to  do.  You  can  complain  and  argue  and 
fuss  about  all  of  it,  but  there  is  no  reason  to.  I'm  happy." 


TALKING  ON  THE  PHONE, 
freshman  Brandon  Archer 
talks  about  his  schedule 
for  the  day  with  one  of 
his  coaches  at  Vanier.  "He 
is  always  on  the  phone," 
freshman  Sean  Lowe, 
Archer's  roommate,  said.

"It  put  young  people  in  a  position  that  at 
no  time,  since  I've  been  here,  they  have  been 
in,"  Snyder  said.  "At  no  time  have  they  ever 
had  success  and  met  with  what  some  might  call 
failure  —  I  wouldn't,  but  some  might  —  and 
then  repositioned  themselves  with  courage  and 
determination  and  come  back  to  gain  the  same 
status  they  had  experienced  before." 

Going  into  the  season,  senior  Marc  Dunn 
and  junior  Ell  Roberson  competed  for  the 
quarterback  position.  Snyder  did  not  announce 
the  starter  until  four  days  before  the  season 
opener  against  Western  Kentucky  —  Dunn 
would  get  the  assignment.  Dunn  started  the 
first  four  non- conference  games,  but  continued 
to  split  duties  with  Roberson. 

"People  are  going  to  say  that  you  need  to  have 

a  quarterback  to  lead  this  team,  and  that's  true 

in  certain  circumstances,"  offensive  coordinator 

Ron  Hudson  said.  "But  if  we're  going  well  and 

winning  games  —  if  it  ain't  broke  don't  fix  it.  You 

have  to  go  with  what  got  you  there.  Now,  that  may 

or  may  not  be  the  case  nine  games  from  now,  but 

for  now  we  are  going  to  keep  going  like  this."

to  Oklahoma  and  then  came  back  and  that  is  when  we  started 
to  move  in  the  wrong  direction.  We  understood  why  that 
happened  and  we  weren't  going  to  go  in  the  same  direction 
as  the  previous  team." 

Following  the  Colorado  game,  Roberson  continued 
starting  and  the  team  bounced  back  with  a  44-9  win  against 
Oklahoma  State  but  received  another  devastating  blow  with  a 
three-point  loss  to  Texas  at  home  after  a  missed 
field  goal  attempt  with  7  seconds  on  the  clock. 

"There 're  a  lot  of  different  things  that  people 
can  point  their  finger  at,"  senior  cornerback 
Terence  Newman  said.  "(Jared  Brite,  kicker,)  is 
just  the  one  because  in  the  waning  seconds  of  the 
game  he  was  out  there  to  tie  the  game  up.  I  think 
people  overlook  that.  A  lot  of  different  people 
made  a  lot  of  different  mistakes.  We  just  want  to 
finish  out  the  season  with  five  wins." 

The  team  reached  the  goal  with  record- 
breaking  games. 

The  Wildcats  traveled  to  Lawrence  for  the 
100th  Sunflower  Showdown  and  scored  the 
highest  blowout  in  the  history  of  the  series, 
64-0. 

"I  didn't  think  it  would  be  this  easy," 
Roberson  said.  "But  if  you  have  an  offense  that's 
clicking  and  a  defense  that  can  shut  them  out,  it 
can  happen." 

Returning  home,  the  Cats  rolled  over  then 
No.  21  Iowa  State,  58-7,  and  handed  Nebraska 
a  49-13  loss. 

"I've  been  around  here  too  long  and  I  know  what  kind 
of  football  program  they  (Cornhuskers)  have,"  Snyder  said. 
"Because  of  that,  it  does  make  it  a  little  extra  nice  to  win  that 
ballgame.  I'm  not  calloused  to  that  at  all.  I  do  want  our  players 
and  all  to  understand  that  we  have  been  there  before  and  done 
that  before,  but  that  doesn't  take  away  the  fact  that  it  is  a  nice 
win  —  a  very  nice  win." 

To  finish  the  season,  the  Wildcats  went  on  the  road  to 
Missouri  and  ended  with  a  38-0  win,  their  third  shutout  of 
the  season. 

At  the  close  of  the  regular  season,  K- State  was  ranked 
6th  in  the  nation.  Though  they  were  only  seven  points  from 
an  undefeated  season,  things  happened  for  a  reason  Snyder 
said.

"That's  like  looking  back  and  saying,  'If  I'd  gotten  a  medical  degree, 
then  I'd  be  a  doctor,'"  Snyder  said.  "There's  nothing  you  can  do  about  it. 
If  you're  looking  back  you're  looking  the  wrong  direction." 

The  Cats  accepted  an  invitation  to  the  Pacific  Life  Holiday  Bowl  to  play 
unranked  Arizona  State  in  what  was  one  of  the  toughest  games  all  season, 
senior  defensive  tackle  Tank  Reese  said. 

The  34-27  victory  gave  the  Cats  their  11th  win,  making  K- State  the 
only  school  in  Division  I  college  football  to  record  11  or  more  wins  five 
of  the  past  six  years. 

"It  really  is  a  special  achievement  for  these  young  people,  but  also  for 
those  who  have  built  the  foundation,  going  back  as  far  as  1989, 1990,"  Snyder 
said.  "It's  pretty  special  for  those  guys  who  have  participated  during  those 
11 -win  seasons,  a  lot  of  them  not  here  right  now.  It  is  very  special  to  do 
something  for  the  first  time  in  history.  It's  worth  note  and  I  am  proud  of

and  his  second  career 
reception.  "We  had  to 
get  it  (the  passing  game) 
going  out  there,"  junior 
wide  receiver  James  Terry 
said.  "We  came  out  to  get 
the  passing  game  going

just  that.  I'm  disappointed 
that  we  didn't  play  well 
enough  to  win  and  that 
we  made  a  lot  of  basic

CLOSE  CALL 

Cats  face  prepared  Sun  Devils 

by  Sean  Purcell  and  Asicfi  Rice 

IT  HAD  BEEN  three  years  since  K-  State  spent  Christmas 
in  sunny  California  and  13  years  since  the  Wildcats  faced 
Arizona  State  University.  The  6th -ranked  Wildcats  accepted 
a  bid  to  the  25th  Pacific  Life  Holiday  Bowl  in  San  Diego, 
Dec.  27. 

Odds  makers  gave  K- State  an  18 -point  spread  against 
the  unranked  Sun  Devils.  It  was  the  largest  spread  of  all  28 
bowl  games,  evidence  that  the  Wildcats  would  tally  their  1 1th 
season  win  in  California. 

Those  familiar  with  Holiday  Bowl  history  said  victory 
would  not  be  as  simple.  A  margin  of  less  than  eight  points 
decided  15  of  the  25  contests,  including  K- State's  36-27  victory 
over  Arizona  State. 

"Arizona  State  is  a  great  team  —  one  of  the  hardest  teams 
we  have  faced  all  year,"  senior  defensive  tackle  Tank  Reese 
said.  "We  were  down,  but  we  stayed  focused  on  the  task  at 
hand." 

After  early  scoring  by  the  Sun  Devils,  the  Wildcats  trailed 
at  halftime,  14  -20.  K- State  became  the  sixth  consecutive  team 
to  trail  at  halftime  and  then  win  the  contest. 

"I  think  we  came  out  and  laid  an  egg  in  the  first  half," 
senior  cornerback  Terence  Newman  said.  "We  got  down  but 
we  played  through  it.  That's  what  the  No.  6  team  in  the  nation 
is  supposed  to  do  in  the  second  half." 

Following  a  scoreless  third  quarter,  quarterback  Ell 
Roberson  sparked  the  team  with  a  2 -yard  dive  into  the  end 
zone  to  tie  the  game  at  20  —  a  low  snap  cost  the  Cats  their 
extra  point.  Arizona  State  scored  one  more  time  to  go  up 
27-20. 

Roberson  continued  to  lead  the  team  with  a  1  -yard  sneak 
to  tie  the  game  27-27  followed  by  a  10 -yard  pass  to  Derrick 
Evans  to  capture  the  win,  34-27. 

"Take  away  the  first  two  quarters,  this  is  the  best  (bowl 
at  K- State),"  Coach  Bill  Snyder  said.  "I  probably  contributed 
to  the  slow  start.  I  may  have  worked  these  guys  too  hard 
and  might  have  expected  some  things  that  didn't  need  to  be 
expected  —  and  certainly  didn't  have  them  prepared  to  do 
some  of  the  things  we  needed  to  do. 

"There  was  another  contributing  factor  and  it  was  the 
fact  that  Arizona  State  is  a  whale  of  a  football  team.  Their 
preparation  for  us  was  as  good  as  anybody's  at  any  time  on 
both  sides  of  the  ball."

Johnson's  block  for  a  first 
down  during  the  fourth 
quarter  of  the  Pacific  Life 
Holiday  Bowl,  Dec.  27. 
Roberson  was  named 
the  offensive  MVP  of  the 
game.  "We  got  off  to  a 
shaking  start,"  Roberson 
said.  "We  kept  plugging 
away.  I  told  our  guys,  our 
offensive  line  and  running 
backs  and  receivers  that  if 
we  keep  plugging  away, 
good  things  will  happen. 
It  happened  for  us."

OVER  ARIZONA  STATE,

ence Newman  directs

Life  Holiday  Bowl  in  San

Jim  Thorpe  Award  given

top  defensive  back  and 
was  also  named  first  team 
All-Big  12  selection  as 
both  a  defensive  back  and 
kick  returner.  "In  my  mind 
I  know  I  can  get  better," 
Newman  said.  "When  I 
came  into  this  program, 
they  instilled  in  me  that 
you  can  always  get  better. 
Through  the  seasons, 
this  whole  program  has 
showed  that."  —  Photo  by

IN  THE  PRACTICE  GYM  of  Ahearn  Field  House,  a  black 
curtain  sectioned  off  a  portion  of  the  room  containing  15 
chairs.  For  this  occasion,  three  more  were  raised  on  a  platform 
with  a  table.  The  table  had  three  nameplates:  Lisa  Martin, 
middle  blocker;  Lauren  Goehring,  middle  blocker,  and  Suzie 
Fritz,  head  coach. 

Fourteen  minutes  after  the  close  of  the  final  match  in  the 
second  round  of  the  NCAA  tournament  between  K-  State  and 
Washington  State  University,  the  three  walked  in  the  room. 
All  were  fighting  tears. 

Forty- five  seconds  passed  while  Fritz  wiped  tears,  gained 
her  composure  and  spoke  her  first  words.  Her  team's  21-8 
—  scratch  that  —  now  21-9,  season  had  just  ended. 

"It's  not  like  we're  curing  cancer,"  Fritz  said.  "But  you 
invest  so  much  time  and  energy  into  trying  to  get  as  good 
as  you  can  get.  I  was  frustrated.  I  was  disappointed.  I  was 
angry.  Those  were  my  initial  thoughts,  but  having  a  few  days 
to  reflect,  it  gets  easier  as  the  days  go  by." 

With  the  departure  of  two-time  All-American  Liz 
Wegner,  fellow  all -conference  selection  Lisa  Mimick,  and 
Jayne  Christen,  the  team  knew  they  were  going  into  the  season 
young  and  inexperienced,  but  they  had  no  doubts,  sophomore 
Gabby  Guerre  said. 

"The  beginning  was  rocky,"  she  said.  "Our  path  in  the 
season  hadn't  been  quite  determined  yet.  We  were  still  looking 
for  those  key  elements,  and  I  don't  think  we  found  them  until 
conference  (play)." 

Wildcats  posted  a  4-4  preseason  record,  including  three 
straight  losses  at  the  USF  Adidas  Invitational  in  Tampa,  Fla.

GIVING  INSTRUCTIONS, 
Coach  Suzie  Fritz  tells 
her  team  what  play  to 
run  against  Nebraska 
Sept.  18.  "We  want  some 
competitive  matches," 
Fritz  said.  "We  want  some 
quality  opponents,  so  we 
know  where  we  are  at  and 
where  we  need  to  get  to. 
This  is  the  type  of  team 
that  we're  going  to  need 
to  be  if  we  want  to  take 
this  thing  as  far  as  we  can 
go."  —  Photo  by

"We  didn't  have  enough  technique  yet  to  really  be  a  stable 
team  that  we  became  at  the  end  of  the  season,"  Guerre  said.  "A 
loss  is  disappointing,  but  you  learn  more  from  a  loss  than  you 
do  a  win.  At  the  beginning  of  the  season  a  loss  doesn't  really 
matter,  I  mean  it  matters,  but  it  teaches  you  more." 

Opening  regular  season  play,  Nebraska  defeated  the  team 
at  Ahearn  Field  House,  and  then  went  on  the  road  to  pick  up 
wins  at  Baylor  and  Iowa  State  before  returning  home  to  drop 
a  three-straight-game  match  to  Texas. 

After  the  loss  to  Texas,  the  Wildcats  began  a  13-game 
winning  streak. 

"The  team  started  coming  together  at  Baylor,"  Goehring 
said.  "It  wasn't  consistent,  but  after  the  Texas  loss  we  decided 
that  we  couldn't  screw  around  anymore  and  so  that  was  the 
point  it  progressively  got  stronger.  We  just  took 
one  game  at  a  time.  We  played  each  opponent  as 
they  appeared  in  our  schedule." 

K-  State  ended  the  1 3  -  game  run  with  another 
loss  to  Texas,  1-3.  The  Cats  finished  the  season 
with  a  win  over  Kansas  and  a  loss  to  Nebraska. 
"You  start  to  understand  that  it's  not  always 
going  to  go  your  way,"  Fritz  said.  "Sometimes 
you  can  give  your  very  best  effort  and  it  doesn't 
necessarily  mean  you're  going  to  win.  Our  last 
loss  of  the  year  is  a  perfect  example  of  that. 

"Late  in  the  year  they  became  an  incredibly 
composed  team,  it  wasn't  a  team  full  of  seniors, 
but  they  started  playing  like  they  had  been  there 
before  and  that  was  kind  of  a  turning  point  for 
us." 

The  team  reaped  the  benefits  of  their  20-8 
season  when  the  NCAA  announced  that  K- State 
would  be  one  of  16  host  sites  for  the  first  two  rounds  of  the 
national  tournament. 

In  round  one,  the  Cats  beat  non-ranked  Michigan  in 
three  games,  30-26,  30-25,  35-33  and  advanced  to  round

have  to  withstand  some 
ebbs  and  flows  early  in  the 
season  as  we  gained  expe- 
rience and  gained  maturity 
and  that  was  exactly  what

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

by  Nabil  Shaheers  and  Andi  Rice 

REBEKAH  GREEN,  junior  thrower  on  the  women's 
track  team,  kept  repeating  the  word  "we"  when  talking 
about  attending  volleyball  games  in  Ahearn  Field  House. 

An  athlete  herself,  Green  knew  the  hard  work  it  took  to 
compete  at  the  Division  I  level  in  any  sport. 

"They're  not  necessarily  teammates,  but  they  are  fellow 
athletes,"  Green  said.  "The  volleyball  girls,  we  see  them  day 
in  and  day  out.  They're  working  hard  and  need  our  support, 
too." 

If  fellow  athletes  did  not  fill  the  seats  in  Ahearn,  then 
odds  were  no  one  else  would,  said 
Jose  Carvajal,  senior  hurdler  and 
sprinter  on  the  men's  track  team. 

"We  interact  with  the  girls  ev- 
ery day  at  Ahearn  and  in  the  train- 
ing room,"  he  said.  "If  it  doesn't 
start  with  us,  their  athlete  friends, 
then  who  is  going  to  attend?" 

Even  with  all  the  practice  hours 
spent  in  Ahearn,  Carvajal  said  fin- 
ishing practice  and  going  to  games 
was  not  a  hassle,  especially  for  cer- 
tain members  of  the  team. 

"Basically,  it's  just  our  relation-

RELIABLE  RUN 


SOMETIME  BETWEEN  lacing  up  their  spikes  and  start- 
ing the  meet,  members  of  the  women's  cross  country  team 
shared  advice  with  each  other. 

The  veteran  and  rookie  runners  on  the  2002  squad  knew 
the  task  they  had  to  do. 

"Something  we  always  said  before  our  meets  was  'suck  it 
up,'  just  to  remind  us  that  we're  gonna  hurt  but  it's  not  unique 
to  anyone  else,"  sophomore  Trisha  Culbertson  said.  "We'll  be 
good  in  the  end.  The  pain  will  be  behind  you  and  then  you'll 
just  have  the  memories.  The  pain  is  temporary." 

After  a  seventh-place  finish  at  the  Big  12  Championship 
and  the  same  result  at  the  Midwest  regional  meet,  the  team 
had  a  lone  representative  at  the  2002  NCAA  Cross  Country 
Championships. 

Senior  Amy  Mortimer  carried  the  weight  of  the  2002 
season  and  the  pressure  to  earn  a  fourth  All-America  honor, 
as  she  made  her  way  to  Terre  Haute,  Ind. 

As  254  of  the  nation's  elite  runners  approached  the  start- 
ing line  at  the  Wabash  Family  Sports  Center  at  Indiana  State 
University,  Mortimer  said  she  was  nervous. 

"It's  kind  of  scary  lining  up  on  the  line  with  all  these  girls 
in  really  good  shape,"  Mortimer  said.  "You  realize  this  is  the 
end  of  the  season." 

In  one  of  the  fastest  fields  in  the  history  of  the  meet, 
Mortimer's  run  of  20:37.4  on  the  6,000-meter  course  gave 
her  a  43rd-place  finish  and  the  All-America. 

Mortimer  was  the  first  4-time  All-American  in  K- State 
cross  country  history. 

"Amy  has  proven  that  she  is  a  very  talented  runner  and  a 
great  competitor,"  head  coach  Randy  Cole  said.  "Her  athletic 


returning  runners  mesh,  grow  as  a  team 

by  Nabil  Shaheen 

and  academic  honors  over  the  last  four  years  are  outstanding 
and  speak  volumes  about  her  dedication  and  hard  work  at 
Kansas  State." 

As  one  of  the  most  talked  about  runners  in  K- State  his- 
tory wrapped  up  her  cross  country 
career  she  said  the  most  memorable 
part  of  the  season  was  seeing  the 
team's  growth. 

"At  the  beginning  of  the  year, 
there  were  so  many  new  girls," 
Mortimer  said  of  the  team,  which 
included  her  younger  sister,  Erin. 
"We  had  some  adjustment  periods, 
but  by  end  of  the  year  we  got  really 
close.  It  was  nice  to  see  from  first 
day  of  practice  to  end  of  the  season 
how  everyone  grew  closer  and  came 
together  as  a  team  —  that  was  the 
highlight  of  my  season,  watching 
that." 

Although  the  team's  inexperi- 
ence may  have  been  a  factor,  the 
young  runners  were  a  benefit  during  practices, 
Culbertson  said.

REBUILD 

inexperience  proves  costly 

by  Nabil  Shaheen 

»UAD  had  no 
expectations  for  their  season. 

The  predominantly  underclassman  team  did  not  know 
what  to  expect  of  racing  at  the  Division  I  level,  or  at  K- State 
cross  country  standards. 

"They  are  a  pretty  young  bunch  and  had 
some  good  times,"  Coach  Randy  Cole  said. 
"They  gained  some  experience  this  season,  so 
we  just  need  to  keep  working  on  our  training  to 
get  better  for  next  year." 

Freshman  Drew  Tonniges  was  among  the 
top  K- State  finishers  at  every  meet  and  was  the 
third-fastest  freshman  in  the  Big  12. 

"This  year  I  really  didn't  have  anything  in 
mind  of  what  I  wanted  to  do,"  Tonniges  said. 
"I  was  just  trying  to  gain  experience.  I  had  no 
expectations.  In  high  school  it's  (the  race)  5,000 
meters,  in  college  it's  10,000.  So  I've  never  really 
run  that  far  in  a  race.  I'd  come  through  my 
halfway  faster  than  what  I  ever  ran  in  high  school 
and  that  was  just  halfway  finished." 

Finishing  10th  at  the  Big  12  Cross  Country 
Championships  and  16th  at  the  Midwest 
Region  Cross  Country  Championships,  the  team  reflected 
its  inexperience,  Tonniges  said. 

"We  really  didn't  perform  as  well  in  the  bigger  meets  and 
that  was  an  indication  of  not  ever  being  there,  the  lack  of 
atmosphere,"  he  said.  "Next  year,  with  everyone  coming  back, 
we'll  step  it  up  in  the  big  meets." 

Sharing  his  racing  wisdom,  the  only  returning  letter 
winner,  sophomore  Mathew  Chesang,  said  he  had  a  lot  to  do 
teaching  the  team  and  himself. 

"(Inexperience)  is  a  clear  indication,  me  included,  that 
there  is  still  plenty  of  room  to  gain  experience,"  Chesang  said. 
"Being  a  returning  runner  I  had  to  show  a  good  example  to 
the  rest  by  sharing  with  them  the  knowledge  I  had  and  also 
the  spirit  of  working  hard  which  pays  off  at  the  end."

NOVICE  ROWERS,  Megan 
Henson,  Angela  Boos 
and  Leslie  Burgdorfer,  all 
freshmen,  compete  in  the 
Sunflower  Showdown 
against  KU.  "Seeing  the 
novice  program  grow  with 
a  tremendous  amount  of 
maturity  was  great  this 
fall,"  Coach  Jenny  Hale 
said.  —  Photo  by

Novices  build  foundation  for  program 


THE  FALL  SCHEDULE  for  women's  crew  marked  a 
transition.  Execution  and  injuries  were  a  problem  for  the 
varsity,  but  the  novices  were  the  strongest  they  had  been  in 
years,  Coach  Jenny  Hale  said. 

"We  haven't  had  particularly  strong  novice  crews  the  past 
three  years,"  she  said.  "We've  had  a  coaching  staff  change 
—  we've  focused  both  the  novice  coach  and  the  assistant 
coach  on  the  novice  group  this  fall  —  so  they've  gotten  a  lot 
of  one-on-one  and  gotten  a  lot  of  attention. 

"We've  standardized  the  program  and  our  expectations 
for  the  group  have  been  realigned  so  they  are  in  line  with  the 
varsity." 

With  the  departure  of  Kevin  Harris  and  Sandra  Chu, 
who  received  head  coaching  positions  elsewhere  during  the 
summer,  the  team  gained  assistant  coach,  Paula  Donald,  a 
Colorado  State  University  graduate,  and  novice  coach,  James 
Rawson,  from  Gonzaga  University 

"They  are  definitely  a  great  group,"  Rawson  said.  "I  tell 
them  to  do  the  work,  and  they  do  exactly  what  needs  to  be 
done.  They  are  really  dedicated." 

Even  with  a  strong  novice  crew,  the  varsity  eight  had 
problems.  Technically,  the  crew  rowed  better  than  any  other 
year  but  just  didn't  execute  during  the  races,  Hale  said. 

"They  have  not  had  a  particularly  strong  season,"  she  said. 
"Execution  is  where  we  need  to  step  up  and  make  sure  they  are 
able  to  put  out  there  what  they  are  capable  of  doing." 

Injuries  also  challenged  the  team.  Only  one  person  in  the 
varsity  eight's  boat  remained  unhurt. 

"We've  had  injuries  in  and  out,"  senior  Alyssa  Adams 
said.  "That's  frustrating  because  we  want  the  best  people  in 
the  boat.  We  want  to  be  able  to  be  fast  because  we  know  we 
can  beat  a  lot  of  the  teams  we're  up  against." 

Despite  the  problems,  the  team  ended  the  season 
sweeping  KU  in  the  Sunflower  Showdown,  winning  five  of 
five  races.  It  was  the  first  time  in  the  six-year  history  of  the 
series  that  either  team  had  a  clean  sweep. 

"We  had  a  great  team  performance  and  that's  what  we 
need  —  not  an  individual  boat  performance,  but  a  team 
performance,"  Hale  said.  "I  think  everybody  stepped  up  and 
did  their  part.  The  execution  was  well  done,  and  I  was  so 
happy  for  the  athletes  to  enjoy  the  feeling  of  sweeping  this 
regatta."

Dedicated 


ien  rowers'  commitment  pays  off 

EACH  MORNING  at  5:30,  the  men's  rowing  team  made 
its  way  to  Tuttle  Creek  Dam  and  Reservoir  for  practice. 

Members  spent  a  required  10  hours  per  week  working  out 
as  a  team  in  addition  to  optional  workouts. 

Though  the  time  put  in  by  the  rowing  team  went 
unnoticed  by  most  students,  the  rowers  still  got  up  every 
morning  to  practice,  Pyle  said. 

"I  talk  with  a  lot  of  people  around  campus  and  they  don't 
even  know  we  have  a  men's  rowing  team,"  Pyle  said,  "but 
within  the  rowing  community,  we  are  recognized.  When  we 
walk  around  at  the  regattas,  other  teams  know  who  we  are." 

Most  of  the  rowers  were  involved  in  other  sports  in  high 
school  and  wanted  to  stay  in  shape,  senior  Chris  Riffel  said. 

"It  is  a  great  sport  to  do  just  because  it  keeps  you  in 
excellent  shape,"  he  said.  "The  sports  I  did  in  high  school, 
cross  country  and  swimming,  carry  over  to  rowing." 

Components  of  other  sports  related  as  well. 

"The  competitiveness  and  teamwork  you  learn  in  any 
other  sport  carries  over  to  rowing  without  a  doubt,"  Pyle 
said.  "Plus,  the  conditioning  is  relatively  the  same." 

The  team  competed  in  three  regattas  during  the  fall  and 
five  in  the  spring,  traveling  to  Wisconsin,  Tennessee  and 
Pennsylvania. 

Money  for  the  supplies  and  travel  came  from  the  Student 
Government  Association,  donations  and  personal  funds. 
Because  the  team  was  a  club  sport,  it  received  no  money 
from  Intercollegiate  Athletics. 

K- State  alumnus  George  Breidenthal,  former  manager 
of  the  men's  rowing  team,  made  a  $500,000  gift  to  the  KSU 
Foundation  to  help  fund  a  new  boathouse  for  the  K- State 
rowing  program.  The  donation  took  a  big  chunk  out  of  the 
money  needed  to  complete  the  $l.l-million  boathouse. 

"Even  though  I'm  not  going  to  see  it  done,  it  makes  me 
excited  for  the  future,"  Riffel  said.  "To  see  someone  give  that 
much  money  makes  it  easier  for  me  to  give  back."

TWO  YEARS.  Two  freshmen.  Two  conference  titles. 

Freshman  Kyle  Lancaster  made  2003  the  second  straight 
year  that  a  Wildcat  newcomer  won  an  event  at  the  Big  12 
Conference  Indoor  Championships. 

In  one  of  the  most  competitive  events  of  the  day,  Lancaster 
cleared  7-1.75  in  the  high  jump,  a  career  best,  to  help  his  team 
to  an  86 -point,  third-place  finish. 

"In  the  Big  12,  for  freshmen  to  win  an  event  is  a  pretty 
significant  accomplishment,"  Coach  Cliff  Rovelto  said.  "The 
quality  in  most  events  is  pretty  deep.  It  is  a  significant  accom- 
plishment and  what  it  says  to  me  is  that  these  freshmen  win- 
ning are  pretty  darn  good." 

The  men's  team  finished  its  season  tied  for  45th  at  the 
NCAA  Indoor  Championships  in  Fayetteville,  Ark.  Junior 
Joseph  Lee  was  the  top  finisher  for  the  Cats  taking  fifth  place 
in  the  800-meter  run. 

"You  have  to  acknowledge  our  coaching  staff,"  sophomore 
Richard  Warren  said.  "We  have  one  of  the  best  coaching  staffs 
in  the  country. 

"We  have  a  lot  of  post-  collegiate  athletes  training  here  and 
just  working  with  the  athletes  on  the  men's  and  women's  side. 
They've  been  in  big  meets,  they  can  prep  us  on  what  to  expect 
and  just  the  dedication  of  the  athletes,  men  and  women,  work 
extremely  hard.  All  those  things  combined  make  the  track 
programs  here  extremely  successful."

SENIOR  AMY  MORITMER  knew  what  it  was  like  coming 
in  second  place  in  the  mile -run  at  the  Big  12  meet.  She  knew 
what  it  was  like  coming  in  third  and  fourth,  too.  On  March  1, 
running  a  race  she  described  as  "ridiculously  slow,"  Mortimer 
won  the  mile  in  her  final  indoor  conference  meet. 

"Throughout  her  career,  Amy  has  always  performed  at  a 
pretty  high  level,"  Coach  Cliff  Rovelto  said.  "We,  as  much  as 
others,  have  kind  of  taken  it  for  granted,  but  the  significance 
of  what  she  has  done  is  huge." 

At  the  Big  12,  where  the  women  took  third  with  87  points, 
the  4x400  relay  team  of  freshmen  Ashley  Stevens  and  Shunte 
Thomas,  sophomore  Samantha  Murillo  and  senior  Nicole 
Grose  was  within  1.16  seconds  of  a  new  school  record. 

The  K- State  women  ended  the  year  in  27th  place  in  the 
NCAA  Indoor  Championships  in  Fayetteville,  Ark. 

Mortimer  earned  All-American  status,  placing  sixth  in 
the  3,000 -meter  run.  She  received  the  honor  11  times  in  her 
career  at  K-  State.  Sophomore  Chaytan  Hill  placed  10th  in  the 
triple  jump  and  junior  Morgan  High  placed  sixth  in  the  high 
jump,  also  earning  All-American  status. 

"People  are  coming  to  practice  everyday  and  taking  care 
of  business  and  being  supportive  of  each  other,"  Mortimer 
said.  "Everyone  tries  as  hard  as  they  can,  it's  not  like  you  can 
find  some  little  extra,  everyone  already  tries  to  put  that  extra 
out  there  no  matter  what."

ats  celebrate  100  years  of  men's  basketball  with  all-century  team 


GREATS  RETURN 


LIKE  ANY  PREGAME  RITUAL,  the  men's  basketball 
team  warmed  up  on  the  court,  but  the  atmosphere  was  dif- 
ferent March  1. 

On  the  upper  level  of  Bramlage  Coliseum,  fans  lined  up  for 
autographs  from  the  team,  but  not  the  one  warming  up  on  the 
court.  They  wanted  autographs  from  the  All- Century  team 
composed  of  13  standouts  from  K- State's  basketball  history. 

"You  look  up  in  the  crowd  and  see  all  those  guys  who  make 
up  Kansas  State  basketball,"  senior  forward  Matt  Siebrandt 
said.  "That's  the  tradition  and  you  see  it  and  it  made  the  arena 
a  lot  more  special.  I  wanted  to  play  really  well,  just  to  show 
them  we're  trying  to  turn  it  around  and  that  we're  trying  to 
do  what  they  did." 

The  season  marked  the  100th  year  of  men's  Wildcat 
basketball. 

"A  lot  of  the  students  don't  realize  that  we  used  to  be  a 
basketball  powerhouse  here."  Siebrandt  said.  "(The  students) 
want  to  get  it  back  and  we  want  to  get  it  back  and  I  think 
that  linking  (the  program)  to  the  past  helps  you  to  get  there 
sooner." 

The  team,  voted  on  by  fans,  comprised  10  players  and  three 
coaches,  including  Ernie  Barrett,  Jack  Parr,  Bob  Boozer,  Lon 
Kruger,  Chuckie  Williams,  Mike  Evans,  Rolando  Blackman, 
Ed  Nealy,  Steve  Henson,  and  Mitch  Richmond.  Players  had 
to  at  least  be  first-team  all -conference  selections  during  their 
time  as  a  Wildcat  to  be  on  the  ballot. 

Richmond  and  Henson  were  unable  to  attend  due  to 
previous  engagements. 

"Obviously,  it  was  indeed  a  real  honor,"  Barrett,  1950  - 1952 
forward,  said.  "I  happened  to  be  the  oldest  selection  of  the 


layers  from  K- State's  past  honored

group,  having  played  over  half  a  century  ago.  On  behalf  of  the 
1950-51  team  I  was  very  honored  to  have  someone  selected 
to  represent  that  particular  team." 

The  coaches  selected  for  the  team  were  Jack  Gardner  ( 147- 
81),  Tex  Winter  (262-117)  and  Jack  Hartman  (295-169),  who 
died  Nov.  6,  1998. 

"It's  hard  on  a  new  coach  to  try  and  build  a  program  up 
and  try  and  get  it  back  where  it  once  was,"  Winter  said.  "  ( Jim 
Wooldridge)  certainly  has  done  an  excellent  job  in  bringing  in 
new  players  and  trying  to  keep  the  tradition  alive.  Of  course, 
the  former  players  appreciate  it  and 
consequently  they'll  be  much  more 
supportive  of  the  program." 

As  a  part  of  the  tribute,  the 
current  team  wore  violet  jerseys, 
replicates  of  the  ones  worn  in  the 
late  1970s. 

"We  wanted  to  wear  those  jer- 
seys to  symbolize  that  we  remember 

our  past  and  it's  important  to  us,"      ALL-CENTURY  MEMBERS 

Ernie  Barrett,  Jack  Parr  and

GAMES  were  a  trademark  for  the  Wildcats' 
season  —  the  proof  was  in  the  last  three  seconds  of  their 
final  game. 

With  1.8  seconds  on  the  clock,  K- State  had  a  two-point 
lead  over  Colorado  in  the  first  round  of  the  Big  12  tournament, 
the  ball  was  inbounded  and  CU's  James  White  banked  a  three 
point  shot  to  end  the  Wildcats'  season,  77-76. 

"You  can't  really  blame  it  on  one  thing  that  happened," 
senior  forward  Matt  Siebrandt  said.  "A  lot  of  freak  things 
took  place.  We  just  didn't  learn  how  to  win  a  close  one.  It  was 
our  fault.  It  would  get  down  to  the  final  five  minutes  and  we 
could  never  pull  them  out." 

But  it  did  not  always  happen  like  that. 

The  Cats  started  their  season  11-5,  including  a  seven  -  game 
winning  streak  going  into  conference  play  against  No.  23  Texas 
Tech.  K- State  beat  the  Red  Raiders  68-44  in  front  of  a  sold 
out  crowd  at  Bramlage  Coliseum. 

"I  was  thinking  that  'OK,  we  are  getting  better,'"  Coach 
Jim  Wooldridge  said.  "We  had  a  lot  of  things  that  we  were 
doing  pretty  well  and  I  think  we  all  felt  like  we  were  seeing  an 
improved  basketball  team.  We  had  some  guys  returning  who 
had  had  productive  years  for  us  and  we  liked  the  new  play- 
ers who  were  coming  in.  At  times  we  were  a  good  basketball 
team  and  then  we  hit  a  stalemate  and  couldn't  score  the  ball 
as  easily  and  we  lost  some  close  games." 

Following  the  defeat  of  the  Red  Raiders,  K- State  lost 
two  games  on  the  road  against  Colorado  and  Kansas.  They 
returned  home  for  a  victory  over  Nebraska. 

"When  you  get  wins  it's  real  important  to  have  a  certain 
confidence  level,"  freshman  forward  Marques  Hayden  said.  "At 
the  same  time  in  the  back  of  our  minds  we  knew  that  we  had 
a  lot  more  to  come.  The  Big  12  is  the  toughest  conference  in 
the  country.  We  were  happy  for  that  day  that  we  won,  but  the 
next  day  we  knew  that  we  were  going  to  play  against  a  bigger 
and  tougher  opponent."

Following  the  win  over  Nebraska,  the  Cats  did  not  pull 
it  together,  adding  only  two  more  wins  to  their  record  out  of 
12  games. 

"Our  schedule  during  that  segment  became  very  difficult," 
Wooldridge  said.  "After  the  Colorado  game  we  won  here  and 
after  we  went  to  Missouri  and  played  well,  I  thought  we  had 
an  opportunity  there,  I  thought  our  season  was  on  the  brink 
of  being  good  or  coming  up  short. 

"The  turning  point  for  us  was  the  Baylor  game  at  home 
that  we  dropped.  We  might  have  lost  some  confidence  and 
we  had  some  guys  struggling  to  score  the  ball  and  we  played 
hard  and  the  guys  gave  a  great  effort,  but  we  were  just  having 
a  hard  time  scoring.  That  was  the  pivotal  game  of  the  season 
for  us." 

Nine  of  the  Wildcats'  last  11  losses  were  by  nine  points  or 
less,  including  a  two-point  loss  to  No.  2  Oklahoma  in  overtime 
and  an  eight-point  shortfall  to  No.  11  Oklahoma  State. 

"It's  tough  to  lose  games  like  that,  but  it's 
all  about  sticking  together  and  staying  strong," 
Hayden  said.  "If  you  look  at  the  games  we  lost, 
we  weren't  blown  out  by  a  large  margin  —  I  just 
think  it's  one  of  those  things  that  we  should  have 
won,  but  we  didn't  get  it  done.  It  doesn't  really 
show  up  on  our  record,  but  I  think  we  know  in 
our  hearts  and  our  minds  that  we  played  our 
butts  off." 

The  team  finished  the  season  14-18  overall, 
4-13  in  conference  play. 

"They  made  some  strides,"  Wooldridge 
said  "We  are  all  disappointed  that  we  didn't  do 
better  in  Big  12  play  but  I  do  think  that  this  team 
continued  to  be  competitive,  and  I  think  that's 
what  we  had  to  recognize.  I  know  we  all  want 
more  but  they  gave  an  effort  and  they  gave  us 
something."

HIGH  TIME 

6 'A"  center  of  attention 

by  Andi  Rice 

the  women's 
basketball  team  earned  through  its  recruits,  one  candidate 
fit  perfectly.  The  only  thing  was  —  she  wasn't  so  small. 

Three  years  ago,  6 -foot- 4 -inch  junior  center  Nicole 
Ohlde  came  to  Manhattan  from  the  modest  community  of 
Clay  Center,  Kan.,  population  approximately  4,500,  to  play 
for  the  then  up-and-coming  women's  basketball  team. 

Since  that  move,  she  has  become  one  of  three  juniors  on 
the  nationally- ranked  Wildcat  team  and  has  developed  into 
a  dominant  leader  for  the  Cats  as  an  All-American,  leading 
the  team  to  one  of  its  best  records  in  school  history. 

"Nicole  is  a  leader  by  example,"  Coach  Debra  Patterson 
said.  "She  is  the  personality  of  the  team,  so  to  speak,  off  the 
floor.  She  is  the  person,  I  think,  who  really  exemplifies  the 
very  best  in  what  our  team  brings  to  the  floor.  She  is  about 
commitment,  she  is  among  strong  values,  she  is  about  work 
ethic,  and  she  is  about  fun. 

"I  could  not  ask  for  a  better  example,  on  and  off  the  court, 
than  Nicole  Ohlde  brings,  and  I  don't  know  that  I'll  ever  have 
another  player  and  person  with  that  kind  of  package  because 
they  are  so  special  —  they're  like  one  in  a  million." 

Outside  the  game,  Ohlde  had  normal  student 
responsibilities.  Her  day  began  around  8  a.m.  when  she  ate 
breakfast  with  her  closest  friends,  the  rest  of  the  basketball 
team.  After  breakfast  she  went  to  classes,  which  ended  by 
12:20  p.m.  so  she  could  go  to  practice. 

"If  I  have  time  after  class,  I'll  come  back  and  eat  lunch, 
basically  just  a  sandwich  because  we  have  practice  right 
away,"  Ohlde  said.  "If  we  don't  have  time,  we  sometimes  take 
a  sandwich  with  us  in  the  morning.  Or,  like  today,  I  didn't  get 
up  in  time  and  I  just  had  to  get  one  at  the  Union."

open  all  the  time  and  we 
go  into  each  other's  rooms 
and  hangout,"  Ohlde  said. 
"A  lot  of  people  borrow 
each  other's  clothes,  I 
mean  I  can't  do  that  with 
the  pants  or  shoes,  but 
I've  borrowed  people's

though,  just  because  it's

don't  have  the  opportu-

HIGH  TIME 

continued  from  page  278 

With  the  national  rankings  and  publicity  the  team 
recieved,  interviews  for  the  women  were  limited  to  Tuesday 
afternoons  after  practice.  Ohlde  was  often  the  last  player  to 
be  done  with  questions  from  the  crowd  of  reporters. 

"It's  nice  that  the  media  is  looking  at  Kansas  State  and 
we  are  getting  some  national  attention,"  Ohlde  said.  "We  feel 
grateful  that  people  are  wanting  to  come  talk  to  us  and  we 
are  getting  on  the  national  scene." 

After  interviews,  the  team  usually  worked  in  the  weight 
room  for  an  hour,  then  went  back  to  Derby  Dinning  Center  for 
dinner  at  the  training  table.  Afterward  they  hit  the  books. 

"A  lot  of  people  may  say  that  I'm  missing  out  on  like  going 
down  to  Aggieville  or  going  to  parties  or  stuff  like  that,  but 
that's  not  something  I  really  want  to  do  anyway,"  Ohlde  said. 
"I  don't  think  I'm  missing  out  on  a  whole  lot  —  I  mean,  I 
wouldn't  be  able  to  travel  to  the  places  I  travel  and  I  wouldn't 
be  able  to  have  such  close  friends  with  the  girls  like  I  do." 

No  matter  how  repetitive  her  days  were,  everyone  who 
knew  her  said  Ohlde  was  about  fun,  too. 

"We'll  just  have  our  own  little  dance  party  in  the  hall," 
sophomore  forward  Megan  Mahoney  said.  "She  likes  to  dance 
a  lot.  With  her  big  long  lanky  body  she's  a  riot.  It  doesn't  really 
matter  what  we  are  doing,  we  have  fun  together.  We  could  be 
watching  paint  dry  and  make  each  other  laugh." 

In  the  residence  halls,  Mahoney  roomed  with  Ohlde  and 
said  she  couldn't  ask  for  a  better  roommate. 

"I've  roomed  with  her  for  two  years,"  Mahoney  said.  "I  just 
loved  her  from  the  first  (time  we  met).  She  is  such  a  likable 
person  and  we  goof  around  a  lot  and  keep  each  other  in  good 
spirits  when  the  season  gets  long.  She  doesn't  like  to  clean  so 
I  always  have  to  go  and  pick  up  her  stuff,  and  she  is  kind  of 
the  messy  one,  but  it's  great." 

Away  from  the  game,  school  and  having  fun,  Ohlde  said 
she  was  just  happy  she  had  the  opportunity  to  do  what  she 
loved  and  didn't  take  any  of  it  for  granted. 

"Most  of  the  time  (life)  is  enjoyable,"  Ohlde  said.  "There 
are  a  few  times  things  are  busy,  but  if  you  think  about  all 
the  other  things  that  go  on  in  the  world,  there's  nothing  I 
shouldn't  be  grateful  for."

Undersized  team  overcomes  injuries;  finishes  season  No.  8  in  the  nation 


EXTREME  FORCE 


posts  best  conference  record  ever 

by  Andi  Rice 


WITH  FOUR  RETURNING  STARTERS  from  the  2002 
Sweet  Sixteen  squad,  the  Wildcats'  slogan  said  it  all,  "Ready 
for  More." 

"We  had  a  lot  to  prove,"  sophomore  forward  Megan 
Mahoney  said,  "I  mean,  we  had  kind  of  a  surprise  season  last 
year  and  this  year  teams  knew  what  we  had,  so  we  were  just 
ready  to  get  after  it  and  see  what  we  could  do  in  the  league." 

At  the  beginning  of  the  season,  the  Cat's  undersized  roster 
of  10  was  quickly  cut  to  nine  when  sophomore  Kari  Hanson 
was  out  for  the  season  due  to  illness. 

"We  were  really  optimistic  that  we  might  be  able  to  string 
together  another  real  competitive  stretch  through  the  Big  12 
conference,"  Coach  Deb  Patterson  said.  "I  was 
just  really  impressed  with  our  ability  to  do  that, 
especially  once  we  learned  we  lost  Kari  Hanson 
for  the  season. 

"That  was  a  major,  major  concern  before 
we  took  the  floor,  and  for  about  a  week  or  two 
I  wasn't  exactly  sure  how  successful  we  might 
be.  But  this  team  really  established  a  level  of 
dominance  that  I  was  really  pleased  with." 

K- State  began  their  schedule  with  seven 
wins  before  dropping  the  championship  game 
of  the  Stanford  (Calif.)  Invitational  to  Stanford 
University. 

"Stanford  was  a  great  team;  we  were  on  their 
home  court,"  sophomore  guard  Laurie  Koehn 
said.  "We  were  disappointed  in  that  loss  but  I 
think  we  learned  from  it  and  that's  what  we  want 
to  do  with  every  loss  we  do  have.  There  was  a  lot 
of  the  season  left,  Stanford  just  came  out  and  competed  harder 
than  we  did  that  night." 

After  the  loss  to  the  Cardinal,  the  Wildcats  experienced, 
in  the  words  of  Patterson,  "a  little  adversity"  when  Koehn 
reaggravated  a  foot  injury  from  a  previous  season.

AS  TIME  WINDS  DOWN, 
junior  Amy  Dutmer  and 
sophomore  Brie  Madden 
watch  as  the  Wildcats 
lose  59-53  to  Notre  Dame, 
March  25.  The  Wildcats 
were  7  of  28  from  the 
floor  in  the  second  half. 
"Hopefully,  we  will  be  able 
to  use  this  season  to  learn 
and  grow  from,"  Coach 
Deb  Patterson  said.  "I  am 
certainly  disappointed  for 
them  that  we  will  not  have 
the  opportunity  to  con- 
tinue to  play  this  season."

Unsweetened  Season 


AMID  A  SEA  OF  PURPLE  SHIRTS,  when  the  buzzer 
sounded  at  Bramlage  Coliseum,  only  a  handful  of  green-clad 
fans  cheered.  On  March  25,  No.  1 1  seeded  Notre  Dame  ended 
the  No.  3  seeded  Wildcats'  season  with  a  59-53  victory.  That 
loss  destroyed  any  hopes  the  Wildcats  had  of  returning  to  the 
Sweet  Sixteen  round  of  the  NCAA  Tournament. 

"When  you've  worked  all  season  to  earn  a  No.  3  seed,  that's 
a  good  deal  of  work,"  Coach  Deb  Patterson  said.  "You're  at 
home.  You're  really,  I  think,  hopeful  you  will  bring  your  very 
best  to  this  40  minutes.  I  think  the  most  disappointing  thing 
for  us  is  that  we  will  leave  the  floor  after  this  game  knowing  we 
didn't  necessarily  play  to  the  character  we  have  demonstrated 
all  season  long.  We  didn't  play  to  our  character  physically  or 
mentally." 

The  Fighting  Irish  jumped  to  a  13-4  lead  over  the  Cats 
until  sophomore  guard  Laurie  Koehn  made  a  three -point 
basket  to  tie  the  game  at  23  with  5:45  to  go  in  the  first  half. 
K- State  ended  the  half  with  a  31-28  edge. 

"It's  kind  of  hard  to  recall  things  right  now,"  Koehn  said. 
"We  were  trying  to  get  out  there  and  keep  competing  and 
trying  to  plug  away  when  we  were  having  trouble  scoring. 
I'm  extremely  disappointed.  It's  devastating  and  not  a  good 
feeling.  It's  not  a  way  you  ever  want  to  feel." 

In  the  second  half  of  the  game,  Notre  Dame's  defense 
did  not  allow  a  K- State  field  goal  until  a  three -point  basket 
from  Koehn  with  8:57  to  go  in  the  game.  The  Wildcats  never 
regained  the  lead  in  the  second  half. 

"A  lot  of  it  was  not  getting  to  our  spots  and  not  doing  the 
things  we  are  capable  of,"  junior  center  Nicole  Ohlde  said. 
"But  you  have  to  give  a  lot  of  credit  to  Notre  Dame.  They  came 
out  and  were  fired  up.  They  were  being  big.  They  were  being 


..,...., 


aggressive  with  their  hands  up  all 
over  the  place.  They  w<

the  Wildcats  shot  their  lowest  field 
goal  percentage  and  totaled  their 
lowest  points  of  the  season.  They 
also  scored  the  fewest  second-half 
points  in  K-State  history  in  an 
NCAA  tournament  game. 

"The  disappointment  of  how 
you  competed  in  this  final  game 
is  very  extreme,  particularly  at 
home,"  Patterson  said.  "The  first  20 
minutes  I'm  OK  with.  The  second 
20  minutes  —  those  will  be  tough 
to  let  go." 

Two  days  before  the  loss  ending 
their  season,  K- State  beat  Harvard 
79-69.  The  game  was  the  Wildcats' 
29th  win  of  the  season,  a  school 
record,  and  their  22nd  consecutive 
win  in  Bramlage  Coliseum. 

The  Wildcats  ended  their 
season  29-5. 

"We  got  in  the  way  of  ourselves, 
not  being  aggressive,"  sophomore 
forward  Megan  Mahoney  said.  "It's  hard  to  realize  that  we're 
done  and  we  don't  have  anymore  games  —  the  season  comes 
to  an  end  quickly."

288  :  Sports 


IN  ITS  THIRD  YEAR  as  a  varsity  sport,  the  equestrian 
team  had  already  opened  eyes  and  turned  heads. 

Last  season  two  riders  competed  at  the  Intercollegiate 
Horse  Show  Association's  national  competition.  Western 
rider  Brandi  Vogel  became  K- State's  first  national  champion 
rider  with  her  win  in  advanced  horsemanship. 

Kelly  Gratny,  2002  graduate,  took  home  third  place  in  the 
open-reining  competition. 

In  the  fall  season,  the  team  looked  to  build  on  those 
accomplishments. 

"We  have  some  tradition  now,"  sophomore  Allison 
Woodworth  said.  "We  are  looking  to  build  on  that  and  who 
knows  how  far  that  will  take  us." 

One  thing  that  changed  for  the  team  was  the 
competition. 

For  the  first  two  years,  the  team  was  in  Region  two,  Zone 
seven  —  where  stiff  competition  awaited  the  Cats.  Now  in 
Region  two,  Zone  nine,  the  team  was  pitted  against  smaller 
schools  in  Illinois  and  Missouri. 

"We  are  the  largest  school  in  our  Zone  by  far,"  Coach 
Lindsay  Breidenthal  said.  "I'm  looking  for  us  to  do  a  lot  this 
year.  The  level  of  competition  is  not  what  we  are  used  to  and 
I  know  that  our  primary  goal  of  taking  our  entire  team  to 
nationals  should  not  be  a  problem." 

The  English  equestrian  team  highlighted  the  year  in  its 
first  show  of  the  season  Oct.  25-27  with  three  straight  first- 
place  finishes. 

"I  am  very  pleased  with  our  performance  this  weekend," 
English  Coach  Meghan  Cunningham  said.  "It  wasn't  just  two 


or  three  riders  but  it  was  the  whole  team." 

Woodworth  led  the  Wildcats  as  she  was  crowned  High- 
Point  Rider  on  both  Saturday  and  Sunday.  On  Sunday  the 
Cats  set  a  school  record  for  most  points  scored  in  a  single 
show,  40. 

Cunningham  said  she  was  pleased  with  Woodworth's 
performance. 

"Allison  always  puts  out  an  outstanding  ride," 
Cunningham  said.  "Since  she's  a  sophomore,  I  expect  her  to 
be  great  for  us  for  another  two  years.  She  is  a  very  dependable 
rider." 

Finishing  the  fall  season,  the 
Western  team  closed  with  a  first- 
place  finish  in  the  Truman  State 
University  show,  with  22  points 
over  Southwest  Missouri  State. 

Vogel  earned  High -Point  Rider 
honors  for  the  second  straight  show 
and  third  time  in  the  season  when 
she  finished  first  in  open  reining 
and  open  horsemanship.  Nine 
other  riders  won  individually  to 
set  a  record  for  the  Cats. 

"I  couldn't  have  asked  for  the 

women  to  ride  any  better  than  they 

did,"  Breidenthal  said.  "When  the 

judges  are  looking  at  horsemanship 

and  skill,  we  will  win  out  every 

time."

Intrastate  Showdown 


ONE  GAME  WASN'T  ENOUGH. 

The  first  game  of  the  KSU  Ed  Charter  Memorial  Soccer 
Tournament  on  Sept.  27  was  a  defensive  battle  pitting 
intrastate  rivals  K- State  and  KU  against  each  other. 

But  60  minutes  was  not  enough  to  decide  a  winner.  The 
game  ended  in  a  1-1  tie. 

However,  when  they  played  again  Sunday  afternoon 
there  had  to  be  a  winner.  After  the  dust  settled  from  the 
eight  men's  teams  battling  it  out  all  weekend,  the  intrastate 
schools  were  the  only  ones  left  standing. 

At  halftime  of  the  championship  game,  the  teams  were 
tied  at  0-0.  The  worn- down  Cats  came  into  the  second  half 
exhausted  and  in  need  of  a  spark,  sophomore  goaltender 
Christopher  Fey  said. 

"This  game  was  just  like  Friday  night  -  a  defensive  battle 
where  both  teams  were  playing  well,"  he  said. 

The  team's  only  score  came  less  than  a  minute  into  the 
second  half  from  a  goal  by  senior  Jeffrey  R.  White. 

"We  came  out  of  halftime  strong,"  Fey  said.  "But  that 
goal  gave  us  a  spark.  I  saw  guys  getting  to  loose  balls  that 
they  may  have  not  gotten  before.  We  really  put  it  all  out  on 
the  line  after  we  got  the  goal." 

The  Cats  got  the  one  goal  they  needed,  and  Fey  kept  the 
Jayhawks  from  touching  the  back  of  the  net. 

It  had  been  seven  years  since  the  Wildcats  took  the 


riding  champions  to  win  tournament 

tournament  title.  Not  only  that,  but  the  Wildcats  beat 
defending  champions,  KU. 

Getting  to  the  championship  was  a  feat  itself.  The 
Cats  took  down  Nebraska  3-2  in  two  overtimes  in  a  tough 
semifinal  game. 

In  a  game  where 
physical  play  went 
both  ways,  referees 
dished  out  eight  yel- 
low cards  and  two  red 
cards. 

The  Cats  finish- 
ed the  weekend 
undefeated  with  a  4- 
0-1  record  .

K-State  noticed  as  half  squad  turns  heads 


A  MIGHTY  FEAT 


THREE  TIMES  A  WEEK,  a  lot  of  scuffling  went  on 
upstairs  behind  the  weight  room  in  the  Chester  E.  Peters 
Recreation  Complex.  Eight  men  caused  the  commotion  as 
they  threw  each  other  around  on  a  padded  floor  mat. 

With  half  a  squad,  the  K- State  Wrestling  Club  didn't  get 
a  lot  of  attention,  but  that  didn't  stop  them  from  grappling 
their  way  to  two  conference  titles,  a  ninth-place  finish  in 
the  national  tournament  2002  and  producing  two  Ail- 
Americans. 

"I'm  100  percent  confident  that  we  could  be  national 
champs  if  we  had  a  full  squad,"  senior  Beau  Tillman  said. 
"We  have  a  lot  of  talent  here.  In  the  beginning  we  were  just 
guys  wrestling  around  and  now  we've  become  a  team  wrestling 
together." 

The  men  did  not  receive  much  funding,  so  they 
competed  in  one  tournament  before  conference  and  national 
competitions. 

"Imagine  going  to  the  Superbowl  without  playing  one 
game,"  Tillman  said.  "It's  hard  to  win  against  people  who 
have  had  a  full  season  when  you  only  have  one  or  two  matches 
under  your  belt.  The  school  only  pays  for  the  national 
tournament,  so  we're  funding  ourselves."

Little  funding,  no  coach  hardly  faze  team 

by  Andi  Rice 

Another  problem  was  the  club  lacked  a  full-time  coach. 

"It's  something  we'd  definitely  like  to  have,"  sophomore 
Miles  Neiffer  said.  "Last  year  we  didn't  have  a  coach  at  all.  This 
year,  Beau  Tillman  has  kind  of  stepped  up;  he  isn't  wrestling 
this  semester  so  he's  kind  of  assumed  that  role.  It  would  be 
nice  to  have  a  full-time  coach  but  we've  got  to  make  do  with 
what  we've  got." 

Despite  coaching  problems,  the  eight  teammates  motivated 
each  other  to  spend  two  hours  three  times  a  week  practicing 
and  conditioning  for  conference  and  national  competitions. 

"(Not  having  a  coach)  makes  it  a  lot  more  personal," 
senior  Karl  Singer  said.  "You  have  to  push  yourself  rather 
than  having  a  coach  there  telling  you  to  practice  everyday. 
We've  got  to  do  the  recruiting,  and  train  ourselves  and  get 
ourselves  ready  to  compete." 

Tillman  said  he  really  did  not  consider  himself  a  coach, 
just  a  captain  who  tried  to  let  club  members  experience  college 
wrestling. 

"It's  about  having  someone  in  your  corner,"  he  said. 
"When  we  go  to  competitions,  they  need  someone  to  be  on 
their  side  coaching  them  and  telling  them  what  to  do.  I  just 
wanted  to  do  that  and  be  there  for  them."

Midwest  meets  old  west 

'EAMS  brought  bronc  busting,  bull 
riding  and  steer  wrestling  to  Weber  Arena  at  the  47th  annual 
KSU  Rodeo,  Feb.  21-23. 

With  416  competitors  and  700  entries,  the  rodeo  was  one 
of  the  largest  K- State  competed  in.  The  only  thing  missing 
was  more  K- State  participants. 

Southwest  Oklahoma  State's  Cord  McCoy  said  K- State 
didn't  get  much  recognition  because  they  only  had  eight 
members  due  to  eligibility,  but  they  put  on  a  great  show. 

"It's  an  awesome  rodeo,"  McCoy  said.  "The  only  thing  I 
feel  bad  about  is  that  this  is  my  fourth  year  and  the  last  time 
I  get  to  come  to  the  K- State  College  Rodeo.  I  love  this  rodeo. 
It's  always  good  times,  good  fans  and  good  stock." 

Senior  Stacia  Wood  and  sophomore  Kasey  Lee  qualified 
for  the  final  round,  Feb.  23. 

"K- State  usually  puts  on  one  of  the  best  rodeos  in  our 
region  and  it's  usually  one  of  the  biggest,"  Wood  said.  "Our 
club  is  very  small  compared  to  most  of  the  other  schools.  This 
year  we  only  have  eight  team  members  traveling  to  the  rodeos 
and  we  usually  have  about  20  or  so." 

Wood  placed  sixth  in  goat  tying  with  a  time  of  7.0  seconds 
and  Lee  placed  seventh  in  barrel  racing  with  a  time  of  26.37.

"To  prepare  for  a  rodeo, 
each  of  us  practice  our 
event,"  Wood  said.  "(We) 
try  to  set  up  different 
situations  that  might 
occur,  and  we  practice  so 
things  become  automatic 
when  we  get  to  a  rodeo."

"I  didn't  have  that  great  of  a  weekend,"  Wood  said.  "It's 
kind  of  hard  to  concentrate  as  much  when  you  are  putting  on 
a  rodeo  because  you  are  so  worried  about  your  different  jobs 
and  running  around  trying  to  get  that  stuff  done;  that  you 
can't  really  concentrate.  I  just  didn't  have  a  very  good  weekend, 
compared  to  how  I  should." 

The  women's  team  scored  20 
points,  finishing  in  10th  place. 

"We  bring  a  lot  of  people  in 
to  help  with  our  rodeo  so  it's 
successful,"  Wood  said.  "We  don't 
put  it  on  to  be  recognized,  we  just 
put  it  on.  I  think  it's  a  great  event  for 
the  community.  There  aren't  very 
many  rodeos  around  here,  and  I 
think  it's  great  that  they  can  come 
and  get  a  taste  of  the  old  west  tradition." 

Other  members  competing  in  the  rodeo  were  seniors  Leah 
Tenpenny  and  Brett  Curry  in  break  away  and  steer  wrestling, 
respectively,  juniors  Brandon  Dreyer  and  Matt  McKinstry,  in 
bare  back  riding  and  calf  roping,  respectively,  and  sophomore 
Jody  Holland,  in  barrel  racing. 

"I  didn't  do  very  good,"  Dreyer  said.  "I  would  have  liked 
to  have  done  a  lot  better  than  I  did,  but  I  had  a  good  horse 
and  there's  no  shame  in  bucking  off  a  good  horse.  I'll  get  him 
next  time,  I  guess."

Tournament  for  anniversary  of  sport's  founding 

by  Nabil  Shaheen 


IN  THE  ALL-UNIVERSITY 
intramural  badminton 
championships,  senior 
Jay  R.  Herrmann,  returns 
a  volley  at  the  Chester  E. 
Peters  Recreatonal  Com- 
plex. Herrman  started 
playing  as  a  sophomore 
when  his  fraternity  signed 
him  up.  "I  like  to  stay 
active,"  he  said,  "and  this 
is  a  good  way  to  do  it."

TWO  GUYS,  two  rackets  and  a  birdie  were  on  the  court 
Oct.  17  at  the  Chester  E.  Peters  Recreational  Complex  to 
determine  the  best  badminton  player  at  K- State. 

The  match  between  freshman  Matthieu  Trenit  and 
graduate  student  Zhefeng  Zhao  took  all  of  10  minutes  to 
complete. 

In  the  130th  anniversary  year  of  the  sport  of  badminton, 
Zhao  was  declared  intramural  champion. 

"It  feels  good,  but  I  would  like  to  see  other  very  good 
players  around,"  Zhao  said.  "There 
were  some  who  were  even  better 
than  me,  but  they've  all  graduated. 
I  hope  this  sport  can  become  more 
popular  and  more  people  will  play 
it." 

Although  badminton  was  one 
of  the  less  popular  racket  sports, 
the  quick  matches  took  a  lot  out  of 
an  athlete,  Zhao  said. 

"It's  a  very  demanding  sport, 
you  can  have  lots  of  exercise,"  he  said.  "I  like  the  movement 
control  of  the  birdie  because  I  have  learned  I  can  control  the 
birdie.  It's  partly  because  I'm  kind  of  good  at  it,  and  that's 
why  I  like  it  very  much." 

Though  badminton  was  hidden  in  the  K- State 
intramural  world,  Jay  R.  Herrmann,  senior  in  construction 
science  management,  said  it  provided  an  opportunity  at  a 
new  sport  and  a  chance  to  meet  new  people. 

"I  don't  know  that  it  offers  anything  more,"  he  said,  "but 
it's  enjoyable  because  you  get  to  meet  a  ton  of  new  people. 
And  I  think  it's  fun  to  be  competitive.  Plus,  it's  a  pretty  good 
workout,  especially  if  you're  playing  someone  at  your  skill 
level,  you're  going  to  be  really  competitive  and  fighting  for 
every  point." 

That  competitive  drive  drew  the  1 19  people  who  signed 
up  for  the  individual  competition,  John  Wondra,  assistant 
director  for  intramurals,  said. 

"It's  a  chance  to  compete  individually  and  test  their 
sharpness  as  an  individual,"  Wondra  said.  "On  a  team  sport, 
you're  only  as  strong  as  your  best  player,  where  here  you  are 
on  your  own.  It's  also  a  chance  for  recreation  and  exercise." 


LUNGING  FOR  THE 
BIRDIE,  Matthieu  Trenit, 
freshman,  competes  in 
the  championship  match 
against  Zhefeng  Zhao, 
graduate  student.  Zhao 
won  the  tournament. 
In  fall  2003,  the  two  will

doubles  partners.

THE  SWIM  CLUB  struggled  with  low  attendance  since 
its  start  in  1997. 

David  Sexton  and  a  group  of  Manhattan  High  School 
graduate  swimmers  started  the  club  when  they  came  to 
K-  State.  They  hoped  to  see  it  build  to  United  States  Swimming 
standards. 

"One  of  the  obstacles  was  attendance  and  trying  to  get 
people  interested,"  Sexton,  founding  president,  said.  "The 
other  main  concern  was  the  rec  services  doesn't  allow  us 
to  use  their  times  as  an  organized  club  time.  We  had  to  go 
through  and  see  if  the  LIFE  program  would  allow  us  to  use 
their  pool." 

As  obstacles  surfaced,  the  club  fizzled  out  and  the  USS 
membership  expired. 

But,  two  years  ago  Scott  Allen,  another  original  member, 
decided  to  try  again. 

"When  I  took  it  over  I  wanted  to  do  the  USS  thing  again, 
and  it  was  going  well,"  he  said.  "We  didn't  have  as  good  of  a 
turnout  as  I  wanted,  but  it  was  decent  enough  to  compete.  We 
couldn't  go  against  KU  or  anything  but  recently  KU  cut  their 
team  and  then  some  other  Big  12  teams  have  been  cut  out,  so 
NCAA-wise,  we  just  didn't  have  a  chance." 

Allen  became  president  and  coach  of  the  team  and  hoped 
to  build  it  back  up  before  he  graduated  in  fall  2003. 

"In  the  past  year,  I've  kind  of  built  it  back  up,"  Allen 
said.  "In  the  past  two  years,  people  just  came  and  went.  Our 
numbers  fluctuated  between  three  and  four  swimmers  up  to 
like  15.  Right  now  we  are  just  at  a  building  stage." 

With  the  team  registered  as  a  club,  junior  member  Robert 
Heil  looked  at  it  as  just  that. 

"We  are  a  club  since  we  kind  of  just  got  started,"  Heil  said. 
"We  all  don't  really  know  each  other  yet.  We  want  to  get  some 
more  people  out  so  we  can  maybe  start  clicking  a  little  bit  and 
get  more  people  involved  so  we'll  feel  more  like  a  team.  Right 
now  it's  just  fun  and  something  else  to  do."

Faculty  members  take  a 

PLAY  DAY 

to  relax,  golf  with  co-workers 

by  Ands  Rice 

SOME  PROFESSORS  scheduled  tee  times  around  classes 
to  compete  in  the  annual  Faculty  and  Staff  Golf  Tournament 
at  Rolling  Meadows  Golf  Course  Oct.  27. 

"I  showed  a  film  in  my  8:30  a.m.  class,"  Mark  Barnett, 
professor  in  psychology,  said.  "I  had  to  bring  a  projector  from 
Bluemont  to  Justin  Hall  and  I  was  thinking  how  fast  I  could 
drag  it  back  up  the  hill  so  I  would  make  my  tee  time.  But  I 
did  prepare  better  for  the  class  than  I  did  to  come  out  here 
and  play." 

One  hundred  thirty- four  faculty  and  staff  members  took 
a  few  hours  of  their  day  to  play  away  from  their  offices. 

"They  enjoy  themselves,"  Mike  Webb,  PGA  golf 
professional  and  course  manager,  said.  "It  gives  them  one 
day  that  makes  their  next  30  go  a  little  bit  easier." 

For  most  participants,  it  was  a  way  to  enjoy  a  day  with  their 
colleagues  rather  than  a  day  of  tough  competition,  Michael 
Marstall,  printer  specialist,  said. 

"We  end  up  having  fun,"  Marstall  said.  "I  think  we  come 
out  here  trying  to  do  well,  but  we  haven't  come  close  yet. 
Realism  sets  in.  We  joke  with  each  other  all  the  time." 

While  on  the  course,  Marstall's  group  was  interrupted  by 
a  gaggle  of  geese. 

"They  were  walking  across  the  fairway  and  we  were 
wagering  who  would  hit  them  first,"  Marstall  said.  "To  tell 
you  the  truth,  it  almost  happened." 

John  Devore,  professor  in  electrical  and  computer 
engineering;  Steven  Starrett,  associate  professor  in  civil 
engineering;  Larry  Glasgow,  professor  in  chemical  engineering, 
and  David  Soldan,  professor  and  department  head  in  electrical 
and  computer  engineering,  won  the  competition. 

"We're  very  competitive,"  Starrett  said.  "It's  all  in  good 
fun,  and  it  gives  an  opportunity  to  work  on  a  task  that  isn't 
work."

disc  golf  offers  different  view  of  campus 


IN  WARM  WEATHER  CONDITIONS,  five  men  walked 
one  path  on  campus  most  Saturday  and  Sunday  afternoons. 

To  the  average  eye,  the  path  winded  around  sculptures, 
trees  and  buildings,  but  to  disc  golfers  campus  altered  into 
an  18 -hole  course. 

Scott  Kohl  and  Gary  Clift,  K- State  alumni,  and  Ralph 
Nyberg,  Paul  Nyberg  and  Mark  Morgan,  Manhattan  residents, 
met  at  the  W  parking  lot  by  the  Marianna  Kistler  Beach 
Museum  of  Art  by  noon,  and  started  their  routine  game  at 
12:30  p.m. 

"I  play  the  course  only  in  order  to  be  out  with  the 
fellows  and  move  around  a  little  bit,"  Clift  said.  "It's  a  social 
opportunity  more  than  a  competition.  It's  one  of  those 
homecoming  opportunities." 

West  of  the  limestone  wall  separating  campus  from 
Manhattan  Avenue,  a  concrete  slab  laid  amongst  the  trees  for 
the  first  tee  box.  The  hole  was  a  tree  marked  with  two  faded, 
spray-painted,  white  lines.  After  each  of  the  men  hit  the  target 
they  moved  to  tee  box  No.  2  in  the  parking  lot. 

As  the  university  modified  its  campus,  the  course  was 
adjusted  to  accommodate  the  new  features,  which  usually 
became  hazards  to  the  holes. 

At  hole  No.  2,  the  Vietnam  Memorial,  added  in  1989, 
became  a  hazard  for  the  players. 

On  hole  No.  9,  a  three-piece  sculpture  made  of  cast 
concrete  and  stainless  steel  became  the  target. 

"Some  of  the  holes  have  changed  numerous  times  since 
I've  been  playing,"  Ralph  Nyberg  said.  "We  used  to  shoot  at 
the  art,  but  a  number  of  years  ago  someone  told  us  the  art 
was  suffering  so  we  changed  and  now  we  shoot  at  objects 
around  the  art.  When  the  university  makes  a  change,  we 
make  a  change." 

Cole  said  the  course  was  more  challenging  and  more 
entertaining  because  of  its  constant  changes. 

"There  is  nothing  wrong  with  change  —  it's  fun,"  Cole 
said.  "When  you're  at  work,  it's  crappy  because  you're  working. 
But  when  you're  playing  the  course,  you're  outside  having  fun 
even  if  you're  playing  bad.  A  bad  day  of  golf  is  better  than  a 
good  day  of  work  any  day."

Women  join  greeks  for  Homecoming  Week  celebrations;  both  gain 
benefits  from  additional  participants  in  ceremonies,  festivities 


OVIA  members  wanted  to  get  more  out 
of  their  Homecoming  experience.  After  a  one -year  absence, 
they  rejoined  the  greek  organizations  for  the  festivities.  Alpha 
Delta  Pi  accepted  the  women's  cooperative  house  to  join  and 
formed  the  group  of  ADPi,  Alpha  Gamma  Rho,  Clovia  and 
Theta  Xi. 

"We  decided  the  more  the  merrier,"  said  Elizabeth 
Younger,  ADPi  Homecoming  chair  and  junior  in  psychology. 
"They  were  a  big  help  and  gave  us  a  chance  to  know  more 
than  just  guys." 

The  week  was  a  change  of  pace  for  Clovia  because  of  the 
number  of  activities  members  participated  in  and  the  number 
of  people  in  the  events,  said  Cori  Woelk,  Clovia  president  and 
senior  in  animal  sciences  and  industry. 

"We  got  a  lot  more  involved,"  Woelk  said.  "They  do  a  lot 
of  activities  during  the  week  and  there  was  a  lot  going  on. 
We  had  a  great  time  with  the  pairings  that  we  had.  Our  girls 
got  to  meet  a  lot  of  new  people  and  hopefully  gained  lots  of 
personal  interaction."

With  Clovia's  help,  the  four  groups  earned  first  place  in 
parade  spirit,  second  in  Wildcat  Request  Live,  third  in  Paint 
the  'Ville  and  fourth  in  Pant-the-Chant. 

"Working  on  projects  like  the  float  and  Pant-the-Chant 
—  that's  when  a  large  number  of  people  from  our  pairings 
came  together,"  said  Colleen  Kramer,  Clovia  Homecoming 
chair  and  junior  in  agricultural  economics.  "It  was  fun  to 
socialize  with  them  daily  and  work  together  on  this." 

The  new  faces  from  Clovia  added  much  needed  enthusiasm 
to  the  group,  Younger  said. 

"They  helped  with  spirit,"  she  said.  "They  were  so  excited 
to  do  it  and  added  so  much  to  our  group.  Being  their  first  time, 
they  were  more  excited  and  provided  more  spirit." 

The  memorable  new  experiences  answered  questions  about 
future  involvement  with  the  greeks  during  Homecoming 
Week,  Kramer  said. 

"We  all  had  a  great  time  this  year,"  she  said.  "We  still 
talk  about  the  fun  we  had  and  so  I  know  we'll  do  it  again 
next  year."

a  run  for  office 

House  supports  2  members  in  campaign  for  SGA  positions 


;  and  Gregory 
Woodyard  campaigned  for  student  body  president  and  vice 
president,  respectively,  in  spring  2002,  they  not  only  wanted 
to  make  an  impact  on  campus,  but  also  ran  to  represent  Smith 
Scholarship  House. 

Greene,  senior  in  management  and  pre-law,  said  the  pair 
decided  to  run  in  spring  2001. 

"We  wanted  to  try  to  make  a  difference  on  campus,"  he 
said.  "I  was  trying  to  enhance  the  image  of  the  Smith  house 
—  a  lot  of  people  didn't  know  much  about  it." 

Greene  said  Woodyard,  junior  in  business  administration, 
possessed  several  qualities  he  liked  as  a  running  mate. 

"He's  a  good  debater,"  Greene  said.  "He's  able  to  think 
quickly,  and  he's  a  good  negotiator.  He  got  us  a  good  deal 
when  we  bought  our  (campaign)  T-shirts." 

When  the  two  ran,  Greene  said  they  did  not  expect  to 
do  well  because  of  their  ages.  Woodyard  was  a  sophomore 
and  Greene  was  a  junior,  by  hours,  however,  it  was  his  third 
semester  at  K- State. 

Steve  Forsythe,  alumnus  and  former  Smith  president,  said 
the  house  supported  Greene  and  Woodyard.

"Going  into  it,"  Forsythe  said,  "I  don't  know  if  the 
expectations  were  real  high  because  they  were  young  and 
hadn't  really  been  involved  in  any  of  it  before.  But  we  were 
really  proud  because  they  took  it  seriously  —  it  wasn't  just  a 
joke  to  them." 

House  members  supported  the  campaign  by  purchasing 
T-shirts  and  helping  in  other  areas.  For  example,  when 
Greene  and  Woodyard  were  unable  to  speak  at  functions, 
other  members  campaigned  in  their  place. 

Some  campaign  issues  included  a  campus  shuttle  system, 
a  different  grading  system,  and  the  enforcement  of  dead-week 
rules. 

Although  the  two  were  defeated  in  the  primaries,  Greene 
said  it  was  worth  the  effort. 

"I'm  proud  that  we  went  out  and  tried,  at  least,"  he  said. 
"We  gave  it  our  best  shot  and  I  think  overall  the  guys  in  the 
house  were  very  proud." 

Woodyard  also  said  the  house  showed  support  after  the 
election  results  were  announced. 

"They  weren't  disappointed  that  we  didn't  win,"  he  said. 
"At  the  time,  they  were  just  proud  that  we  tried."

Completing  tasks  in  cooperation  women  experience  real-world  situations, 
sustain  independence  from  greek  system,  residence  halls 


PANS  cluttered  the  Smurthwaite  Scholarship 
House  kitchen  as  a  group  of  women  worked  to  create  a  meal 
for  46  others.  It  was  part  of  their  daily  routine. 

In  1961,  Smurthwaite  opened  with  a  cooperative -living 
environment.  The  women  cooked  and  cleaned  the  house  to 
earn  a  reduced  living  rate. 

Smurthwaite  continued  to  incorporate  the  independent 
lifestyle,  but  also  joined  forces  with  the  Department  of 
Housing  and  Dining  Services,  which  provided  Smurthwaite 
with  a  kitchen  manager,  who  assigned  house  duties  to  the 
women,  and  a  student  dietician  who  planned  meals  to  be 
cooked. 

The  women  began  working  three  hours  before  the  meal 
was  to  be  served.  Preparation  started  early  because  the 
amount  of  water  needed  for  the  large  quantity  of  food  took 
an  hour  to  boil  on  the  stove. 

"Some  girls  learned  how  to  cook,  who  didn't  know  how,  by 
living  in  Smurthwaite,"  Mary  Arnold,  freshman  in  secondary 
education,  said.  "I  think  we  all  gained  a  sense  of  camaraderie

from  helping  each  other  out." 

Since  house  duties  were  based  on  seniority,  freshmen  were 
generally  assigned  cooking  duties. 

"Let's  just  say  that  it  takes  a  long  time  for  people  to  learn 
how  to  make  gravy,"  Heidi  Aschenbrenner,  junior  in  interior 
architecture,  said.  "Lots  of  stuff  gets  burnt  and  there  are  a  lot 
of  flat  cookies  but  we  have  an  open  kitchen  so  there  is  always 
lunch  meat  for  sandwiches." 

Besides  cooking  meals,  house  members  were  required  to 
clean  the  entire  house  except  for  the  bathrooms. 

If  a  girl  missed  an  assigned  duty,  she  received  a  verbal 
warning  from  the  kitchen  manager  and  was  required  to  do 
extra  duties.  After  one  warning,  she  was  sent  to  the  judicial 
board. 

"Women  learn  the  importance  of  being  responsible 
for  each  other,"  said  Jessica  Heier,  junior  in  industrial 
engineering.  "We  all  come  from  diverse  backgrounds  and 
are  involved  in  different  activities.  We  depend  on  each  other 
which  is  a  unique  way  to  build  a  community."

Larson  organized  the  event  and  said  she  would  not  change

"Everything  ran  smoothly,"  Larson  said.  "The  whole 
day's  events  were  great.  No  one  even  fell  off  a  ladder  or 
anything." 

The  cost  of  the  event  rounded  out  at  nearly  $270.  The

j§     Free  drinks,  music,  alcohol  awareness  education  bring 
ja*    Ford  women  together  for  safe  event,  socializing 


Whirring  blenders,  lively  music  and  flashing  lights 
welcomed  residents  entering  the  hall's  basement  for  Mocktails 
Around  Midnight,  an  alcohol  awareness  program  organized 
by  the  Ford  Hall  Governing  Board  Dec.  5. 

The  event  educated  residents  about  the  consequences  of 
irresponsible  drinking. 

"We  wanted  them  to  have  fun,"  said  Tanisha  Jackson,  HGB 
secretary  and  sophomore  in  business  administration,  "but  we 
also  wanted  them  to  learn  about  the  effects  of  alcohol." 

Jackson  and  five  other  residents  comprised  the  bartending 
crew  and  served  Shirley  Temples,  cherry  Cokes  and  fruit 
smoothies  to  attendees. 

"I  didn't  think  there'd  be  that  many  people  at  all,"  Kelby 
Wiswell,  freshman  in  open- option,  said.  "I've  seen  a  lot  of 
people  I  know,  and  I  didn't  expect  that." 

The  initial  line  at  the  bar  numbered  nearly  60  residents. 
Bartender  Melanie  Lee,  HGB  educational  chair  and 
sophomore  in  political  science,  said  she  was  also  impressed 
with  the  crowd. 

Meaghan  Abood 


"I  think  the  turnout  was  pretty  good,"  Lee  said.  "We  went 
through  a  lot  of  stuff." 

In  addition  to  providing  free  drinks,  the  bartenders  set 
up  tables  with  snacks  and  informational  brochures  about 
the  effects  of  alcohol  abuse.  Attendants  answered  alcohol - 
awareness  trivia  for  prizes  of  candy,  pens  and  lip  gloss. 

Residents  arrived  with  friends  and  congregated  in 
groups.  Jennifer  Orta,  freshman  in  journalism  and  mass 
communications,  attended  the  event  with  two  friends  from 
her  floor  and  stayed  until  last  call  around  midnight. 

"It  was  fun,"  Orta  said.  "I  thought  it  was  a  really  good  idea 
to  get  the  hall  together  like  that.  They  should  have  things  like 
this  more  often." 

The  social  aspect  of  mocktails  was  just  as  important  as 
the  educational  value,  Lee  said. 

"It  was  a  fun  social  program  that  also  educated  the 
residents  about  alcohol,"  she  said.  "We  wanted  to  have 
everyone  come  together  to  promote  the  community  of  Ford 
Hall  and  to  learn  something  worthwhile."

Zoo  creatures  visit  residents  for  education,  interaction 


RESIDENTS  OF  GOODNOW  HALL  interacted  with 
animals  normally  not  on  display  at  Sunset  Zoological  Park. 

"When  I  first  saw  some  of  the  animals  they  brought  out, 
I  thought  'oh  wow,'"  Julia  Holman,  junior  in  architectural 
engineering,  said.  "I  was  scared  to  interact  with  the  animals 
by  touching  them  at  first,  but  it  was  actually  interesting  to  do 
that  because  it  was  not  as  scary  as  I  thought  it  would  be." 

Craig  Wanklyn,  junior  in  architectural  engineering, 
organized  Zoo  Animals  Taking  Over  Goodnow. 

"I  called  the  program  ZATOG,"  Wanklyn  said.  "I  used  the 
acronym  so  people  would  come  to  the  event." 

Sunset  Zoo  provided  a  chinchilla,  gecko,  dumbo  rat, 
hissing  cockroaches,  and  a  boa  constrictor. 

Wanklyn  said  ZATOG  offered  an  educational  experience 
and  a  different  way  to  engage  with  animals. 


The  event  also  included  a  discussion  describing  which 
animals  were  good  to  keep  in  a  residence  hall  room  and 
which  were  not. 

"The  people  who  had  the  animals  told  us  what  types  of 
eating  habits  and  environments  the  animals  were  familiar 
with,"  Alexa  Passman,  sophomore  in  open- option,  said. 
"Some  of  the  animals  weren't  recommended  to  be  brought 
into  the  dorms  just  because  they  are  hard  to  take  care  of." 

Holman  said  by  attending,  she  learned  a  chinchilla  would 
be  difficult  to  keep  in  her  room. 

"Rather  than  getting  an  animal  that  would  be  hard  to 
take  care  of  in  the  dorms,  I  am  going  to  get  a  rat  when  I  get 
my  own  room,"  Holman  said.  "Although  I  never  thought  of 
having  one  before,  it  is  good  to  know  that  it  will  be  easier  to 
take  care  of."

flags  for  hope 


Residents  use  programs,  banner  display  to  increase 
^     students'  awareness  of  hate -crimes 


Waving  in  the  breeze  in  front  ofWaters  Hall,  9,413  colored 
flags  represented  the  total  number  of  hate  crimes  committed 
in  the  United  States  in  2000. 

Students  participating  in  Haymaker  Hall's  Campaign 
Against  Hate  used  the  flags  as  a  visible  sign  of  how  hate 
crimes  persisted. 

Amanda  Blush,  freshman  in  elementary  education, 
said  she  saw  the  multitude  of  flags  as  a  good  reminder  for 
students. 

"It  is  a  pretty  cool  display,"  Blush  said.  "It  reminds  you  to 
take  time  and  not  judge  people  by  their  religion  or  disability 
or  skin  color." 

Instead  of  differences,  she  said  people  should  focus  on 
similarities. 

"It  reminds  everybody  we're  all  humans,"  she  said.  "We 
should  all  be  treated  equally." 

In  addition  to  the  flags,  students  attended  events  in 
Haymaker  aimed  at  educating  residents  about  violence  and 
hate  crimes. 


"We  did  programming  in  the  hall,"  said  Jacob  Schuler, 
resident  assistant  and  senior  in  art.  "We  did  three  other 
programs:  Strike  Out,  A  Day  in  the  Life  Of  and  Movie  with 
MA." 

Bryan  Murphy,  senior  in  sociology,  said  he  thought  the 
campaign  was  a  success  because  the  information  reached 
students. 

"It  increased  awareness  about  hate  crimes,"  Murphy  said. 
"Lots  of  people  don't  realize  hate  crimes  are  a  result  of  fear." 

Murphy  said  the  flag  display  attracted  more  people  to 
hate -crime  awareness. 

"We  really  increased  the  visibility  of  the  program,"  he  said. 
"A  lot  of  people  stopped  to  read  the  sign.  By  far,  that  increased 
the  awareness  on  campus  the  most." 

Schuler  agreed  the  program  was  a  success  because  it 
encouraged  students  to  think. 

"People  would  stop,  look  at  the  sign  and  digest  what  it  was 
about,"  he  said.  "The  whole  goal  was  to  get  people  aware,  and 
I  think  we  were  pretty  successful  with  that."

marlatt 


by  Jennifer  Newberry 


Residents  strive  for  gold,  community  involvement  in 
month -long  revival  of  Couch  Potato  Olympics 


normally  refer  to  international  sport 
competitions,  but  Marlatt  Hall  borrowed  the  term  for  a 
different  purpose.  The  Couch  Potato  Olympics  began  Nov. 
17  and  ended  Dec. 13. 

When  the  games  first  appeared  in  1996,  the  goal  was  to 
involve  students  who  didn't  participate  in  sports-related 
activities.  The  games  consisted  of  bowling,  shooting  pool, 
throwing  darts  and  betting  on  the  NCAA  basketball 
tournament  bracket. 

After  taking  a  hiatus  from  2000  to  2002,  the  games 
returned  with  more  events. 

Activities  such  as  bowling  and  a  TV  marathon  were 
brought  back,  while  board  and  card  games  were  added. 

"I  was  really  glad  to  see  Pitch  as  one  of  the  games,"  Jimmie 
Klein,  senior  in  computer  engineering,  said.  "It's  not  one  most 
people  would  think  of." 

The  Marlatt  Hall  Governing  Board  chose  the  events  from 
a  list  and  James  Stoutenborough,  hall  president  and  senior  in 
political  science,  planned  and  coordinated  the  events. 


"I  was  the  only  one  around  when  we  did  them  before," 
Stoutenborough  said.  "I  thought  we  would  try  something  a 
little  different  this  time  to  get  more  participation." 

Eighty- five  residents  participated  in  more  than  300  rounds 
of  games.  Stoutenborough  said  the  goal  was  simple. 

"We  wanted  everyone  to  have  fun  and  get  their  minds 
off  studying,"  he  said.  "We  try  to  make  dorm  life  as  good  as 
it  can  be." 

Klein  said  the  games  brought  people  together. 

"It  was  an  opportunity  to  learn  new  games  as  well  as  a 
social  event,"  he  said.  "It  was  good  for  people." 

For  students  who  spent  a  majority  of  their  time  in  the  hall, 
it  was  a  reason  to  get  involved. 

"I'm  usually  hanging  around,"  Nathan  Johnson,  junior  in 
architectural  engineering,  said,  "so  I  thought  'why  not?'" 

Stoutenborough  said  the  event  increased  socialization.

he  said.  "This  way,  people  can  find  other  people  who  like  to 
play  the  same  games  and  then  go  set  them  up."

one  of  the  girls 

Residents  participate  in  annual  drag  competition 


RESSES  were  picked  and  make  up 
carefully  applied.  Just  another  women's  night  out  except  for 
one  key  difference  —  they  were  not  women. 

Men,  dressed  as  women,  gathered  Nov.  20  in  the  basement 
of  Moore  Hall.  The  Second  Annual  Drag  Queen  Competition 
allowed  female  residents  to  sponsor  one  male  resident  as  a 
drag  queen. 

"This  year  it  was  a  lot  bigger,"  Rachel  Brown,  hall  president, 
said.  "Twice  as  many  people  showed  up  to  watch." 

In  addition  to  runway  modeling  and  talent  competition, 
an  evening-wear  event  and  question-and-answer  section 
were  implemented. 

Three  judges,  two  female  and  one  male,  determined  the 
winner  for  creativity,  femininity,  originality  and  attitude. 

"It  was  good,"  said  Erica  Mederos,  sophomore  in 


psychology  and  judge  for  the  competition."There  were  some 
parts  that  you  were  like,  'awesome.'" 

Anticipation  built  as  the  audience  and  six  contestants 
waited  for  the  winner  to  be  announced.  Loretta,  otherwise 
known  as  Blake  Zogleman,  freshman  in  animal  sciences  and 
industry,  won  the  competition. 

"It  was  different,  but  it  was  fun,"  Zogleman  said.  "My 
favorite  part  was  the  talent  part  because  I  got  to  shake  it." 

To  prepare,  Zogleman  shaved  his  legs,  wore  fake  eyelashes, 
and  practiced  a  walk  and  song.  He  performed  "Did  I  Shave 
My  Legs  for  This"  by  country  artist  Deana  Carter. 

Other  contestants'  talents  included  juggling  while 
speaking  French  and  a  personalized  fashion  show. 

"I  learned  that  it  is  rough  being  a  woman,"  Zogleman 
said.  "I  hope  my  dad  doesn't  find  out  about  this."

Residents  find  solution  to  closed  dining  center  by  creating 
affordable  dinner  program  for  students 


SUNDAY  AFTERNOON.  With  campus  dining  centers 
closed,  mom's  home  cooking  miles  away  and  Manhattan 
dining  options  a  drive  from  the  residence  halls,  students  in 
Putnam  Hall  struggled  to  find  a  solution  for  eating  dinner. 

Enter  dollar  dinners. 

Charging  $1  per  person,  residents  from  each  floor  of 
Putnam  rotated  cooking  dinner  in  the  hall  kitchenette  every 
Sunday  night  for  fellow  residents. 

"Sunday  night  dollar  dinners  are  one  of  many  traditions 
Putnam  Hall  has  established  over  the  past  couple  of  years," 
Scott  Tystad,  hall  president  and  senior  in  horticulture,  said. 
"Dollar  dinners  started  late  fall  semester  last  year.  It  was  so 
popular  that  the  program  came  back  to  Putnam,  and  will  be 
carried  on  for  years  to  come." 

The  cooks  received  $35  for  each  meal  from  the  Hall 
Governing  Board  to  help  avert  the  costs  of  making  each 
meal. 

"Usually,  on  each  floor,  someone  gets  into  it  who  really 
enjoys  cooking,"  Bevin  Wesselman,  junior  in  biology,  said. 


"We've  had  a  positive  response  to  it." 

Since  the  dinners'  inception,  Jesse  Loewen,  senior  in 
mechanical  engineering,  has  been  one  of  those  enthusiastic 
cooks. 

"I  made  a  point  of  doing  it  last  year,  frequently,"  he  said. 
"I  enjoy  cooking  and  I  get  to  do  that  for  free  and  they  get  to 
eat  what  they  like.  So  it's  a  good  deal." 

From  lasagna  to  pancakes  to  dumplings,  meals  for  the 
dinners  were  as  varied  as  the  cooks. 

"For  a  dollar,  the  residents  can  eat  a  normally  hefty  meal," 
Tystad  said.  "Even  though  the  hall  usually  ends  up  losing  about 
$5  to  $6  (total)  on  the  deal,  it's  well  worth  the  community- 
building  aspect." 

Inspired  by  the  program  at  Putnam,  Boyd  Hall  residents 
created  their  own  dollar  dinners,  which  proved  the  program's 
success,  Wesselman  said. 

"It's  a  really  good  time,"  Loewen  said.  "It's  a  great  little 
thing  to  do  on  Sunday  nights  to  cool  down  from  the  weekend. 
It  also  helps  us  get  to  know  our  residents."

^    Van  Zile  Hall  Governing  Board  organizes  shaving  cream 
slip-n-slide  for  residents  of  the  Strong  Complex 


Shaving  cream  and  water  was  all  that  was  needed  for 
afternoon  entertainment. 

Boyd,  Putnam,  and  Van  Zile  halls  coordinated  Water  Day, 
Sept.  15,  for  residents  and  staff  to  get  to  know  each  other. 

"Basically,  it  is  just  a  day  for  everyone  to  come  outside 
while  it's  still  warm  and  have  fun  getting  messy  with  water  and 
shaving  cream,"  said  Kelly  Lipovitz,  Van  Zile  Hall  Governing 
Board  president  and  junior  in  secondary  education.  "It  is  also 
a  great  way  for  our  new  residents  to  get  to  know  each  other 
and  some  of  the  complex  staff." 

Lipovitz  said  each  hall  in  Strong  Complex  was  like  a 
community,  and  the  event  created  a  community-building 
experience. 

"It's  a  complex  thing,"  Lipovitz  said.  "We  are  so  different 
from  all  the  other  halls  that  we  haven't  included  them  in  the

past,  but  they  are  always  welcome  to  join  us." 

A  large  tarp  covered  with  water  and  shaving  cream 
provided  a  slippery  surface  for  residents  to  slide  across. 

"We  covered  the  slide  with  shaving  cream  and  attempted 
different  tricks,"  David  Freeze,  sophomore  in  kinesiology, 
said.  "We  just  kind  of  made  up  our  own  tricks  as  we  went 
along,  from  the  classic  head-first  dive  to  the  surfing  style." 

Despite  a  cold  front  during  the  weekend  of  the  event, 
residents  did  not  pass  up  the  temptation  to  get  messy. 

"Originally,  I  was  just  going  to  hang  out  with  the  people 
who  were  messing  around  and  not  dive  down  the  slide  or 
anything,"  James  Stoner,  junior  in  physical  science,  said.  "I 
just  couldn't  resist  after  seeing  how  ridiculous  the  activity  was. 
You  can't  have  fun  unless  you're  getting  dirty,  and  I  certainly 
had  more  fun  after  I  was  covered  in  shaving  cream."

Residents  compete  in  Penny  Wars  to  raise  money  for  MS 


WORTH  MORE  than  a  jar  full  of  pennies,  the  women  on 
West  Hall's  fourth  and  fifth  floors  invested  time  and  effort 
to  form  a  close-knit  community. 

One  of  the  activities  the  fourth  and  fifth  floors  participated 
in  was  Penny  Wars. 

The  event  supported  Aaron  Kennedy,  senior  in  interior 
architecture  and  Marlatt  Hall  resident,  on  a  bike  ride  for 
multiple  sclerosis. 

"Since  Marlatt  is  our  brother  building,  he  approached  us 
about  the  idea,"  Heather  Klein,  West  resident  life  coordinator, 
said.  "We  took  it  from  there  to  provide  our  own  incentive  to 
do  our  part." 

Sept.  15-20  the  event  raised  $208. 

Both  residence  halls  had  jars  at  the  front  desk,  each  with 
their  respective  resident  assistent,  RLC  and  multicultural 
assistant's  pictures  on  them. 

Klein  said  the  event  became  a  competition  between  the 
two  buildings. 

Pennies  added  points  to  the  score  and  silver  coins 
detracted  from  the  score,  Klein  said.  The  jar  with  the  highest 
score  won. 


West's  fourth  floor  raised  the  most  points  and  won  a 
chance  to  make  Diana  Hyle,  fourth  floor  RA,  into  a  sundae.  As 
part  of  the  terms  of  winning,  Kennedy  made  rounds  through 
the  winning  hall  wearing  makeup,  dressed  as  a  woman. 

"They  had  a  good  time  with  it,"  Klein  said.  "Some  were 
shocked,  but  I  think  they  had  a  good  time  with  it." 

Chelsea  Mueller,  fifth  floor  resident  assistant  and 
sophomore  in  psychology,  and  Ginger  Lenz,  fifth  floor  RA 
and  junior  in  elementary  education,  said  at  the  beginning  of 
the  year  they  were  uncertain  what  the  women  on  their  floor 
would  be  like. 

"I  came  into  it  kind  of  worried  because  this  is  an  intensive 
study  floor  and  the  women  are  usually  quiet  and  reserved," 
Mueller  said.  "But  they  unanimously  voted  to  change  quiet 
hours  to  10  p.m.  -  8  a.m.,  which  is  average  for  most  halls." 

Muller  and  Lenz  agreed  the  vote  set  the  tone  for  life  on 
the  floor,  realizing  the  residents  wanted  more  of  a  social 
environment. 

"If  we  have  an  activity,  it'll  be  the  fifth  floor  that's  there," 
said  Mueller.  "They  are  usually  most,  if  not  all  of  the  audience 
during  events.  They  take  the  initiative  for  the  hall."

.3     With  emphasis  on  leadership,  involvement,  achievement 


£ 


men  set  the  stage  for  chapter,  individual  success 


Reviving  a  commitment  to  leadership,  community 
participation  and  campus  and  scholastic  achievement,  four 
Men  of  Acacia  gave  members  tools  to  implement  a  set  of  self- 
improvement  programs. 

"We  study  what  makes  an  effective  leader,"  Joseph 
Thomas,  president  and  senior  in  architectural  engineering, 
said.  "Our  goal  is  to  have  everybody  in  the  chapter  have  some 
sort  of  leadership  role  on  campus." 

Their  vision  was  the  driving  force  behind  the  14 -person 
group  since  the  fraternity's  reinstatement  into  the  Interfra- 
ternity  Council,  fall  2002. 

Four  Men  worked  with  the  board  of  directors  to  reinvent 
the  chapter  after  it  lost  standing  with  the  IFC  in  1999.  Alumni 
—  called  Senior  Men  of  Acacia  —  approached  Thomas;  Lucas 
Shivers,  senior  in  elementary  education;  Tyler  Turner,  gradu- 
ate student  in  agricultural  economics,  and  Aaron  Rodehorst, 
K- State  alumnus,  with  the  idea  spring  2001. 

"They  wanted  diversity,"  Shivers  said.  "They  gave  us  a 
cornerstone  and  we  filled  in  the  foundations." 

Senior  Men  funded  renovation  of  the  chapter  house  and 
the  Men  of  Acacia  moved  in  Aug.  20. 

"We  didn't  have  anything  to  start  with,"  Shivers  said.  "It 
was  like  moving  into  a  brand  new  house." 

As  part  of  the  developments,  members  established  a 
framework  for  the  organization  in  a  75 -page  manual. 

Using  their  guiding  principles,  members  recruited  other 
men  who  shared  the  same  vision  of  personal  development, 
Shivers  said. 

"We  look  for  really  motivated  men  who  want  to  not  just  get 
through  college,  get  a  job  and  that's  it,  but  who  want  to  succeed 
in  all  areas  of  life,"  Brian  Murphy,  senior  in  finance,  said. 

Murphy,  the  fifth  member  recruited,  said  recruitment 
was  slower- paced. 

"It's  a  one -on -one  approach  rather  than  the  big  rush 


events,"  he  said.  "It  fits  what  we  want  to  do  better." 

Pledges  — named  Young  Men  —  were  paired  with  at  least 
one  Man  of  Acacia  as  Partners  in  Encouraging  and  Enlighten- 
ing Relationship  for  Success  to  help  them  through  the  process 
of  initiation. 

"Once  initiated,  there  is  an  equal  relationship,"  Murphy 
said.  "They  both  push  each  other  to  better  each  other.  They 
don't  necessarily  need  us,  but  with  help  from  all  the  brothers 
in  the  house,  they  can  get  to  where  they  want  to  be." 
Alumni  involve- 


ment and  input  was 
another  important 
part  of  their  system, 
Thomas  said. 

"We  look  at  what 
they  value  from  their 
fraternity  experience, 
see  what  elements 
they  lacked  and  try 
to  implement  them  in 
Acacia  now,"  he  said. 


•  Acacia  was  established 
at  K-State  in  1913  as  one 
of  the  first  four  fraternities 
on  campus. 

•  Five  campus  buildings 
were  named  after 
Acacians:  Seaton,  Willard, 
Waters,  Ford  and  Bushnell 
halls. 


The  relationships 
encouraged  Men  of  Acacia  to  achieve  their  personal  goals.  All 
members  created  goals  using  four  key  areas:  physical,  social 
and  emotional,  mental  and  spiritual,  as  well  as  a  personal 
mission  statement. 

"We  make  sure  we  can  teach  the  young  men  to  balance 
their  lives  and  not  over- do  it  in  any  area,"  Murphy  said.  "We 
do  that  by  sitting  down  and  writing  out  our  goals." 

The  Board  of  Directors  and  Men  of  Acacia  established 
programs  to  aid  in  leadership  skills  and  personal  growth. 

"(The  programs)  are  a  start,"  Shivers  said.  "It  takes  time 
to  find  what  does  work.  We  want  to  tailor  it  to  the  things 
they  need."

Leader 

Student  Alumni  Board  member,  chapter  officer  balances 
studies,  activities,  receives  recognition  with  Wildcat  pride 


to  taking  17  credit  hours  during  the  fall 
semester  to  pursue  two  minors  —  leadership  studies  and 
Spanish,  Mandy  Achilles,  junior  in  mass  communication, 
was  an  active  member  of  Alpha  Delta  Pi  and  several  campus 
organizations. 

"I  make  a  lot  of  lists,  that's  my  number  one  key  to  time 
management,"  she  said.  "I  just  fit  everything  in.  I  make  time 
for  everything,  so  I  guess  that's  how  I  balance.  I  like  to  be 
busy." 

An  ADPi  officer,  Achilles  was  often  busy  with  work 
for  the  sorority  house  in  addition  to  her  studies  and  other 
activities. 

"She's  an  awesome  girl,"  Jill  Westoff,  rush  chair  and  senior 
in  biology,  said.  "She's  very  dedicated  and  works  really  hard 
at  everything  she  does." 

Achilles  said  attending  K- State  was  something  she  almost 
did  not  do. 

"I  was  actually  set  on  going  to  Butler  County  (Community 
College),"  she  said.  "I  never  took  a  campus  visit  to  K- State.

Toward  the  middle  of  my  senior  year,  I  thought  I  needed  to  go 
out  and  just  start  right  from  the  beginning  and  go  somewhere 
big.  I  decided  this  was  going  to  be  a  better  step  for  me,  and  I 
am  so  glad  I  did." 

Achilles's  decision  to  attend  K-State  brought  her 
opportunities  and  recognition.  She  was  named  one  of  two 
2002  student  ambassadors  at  the  Homecoming  football  game, 
Nov.  9. 

"For  me  it's  a  huge  deal  because  it's  what  I  love  to  do," 
Achilles  said.  "Everyone  was  excited  for  me.  It  was  so  cool 
to  be  on  the  football  field.  That  was  just  so  awesome  and  it 
was  just  another  one  of  those  K- State  memories  that  I  will 
never  forget." 

In  addition  to  student  ambassador,  Achilles  was  a  member 
of  the  Student  Alumni  Board.  Mitzi  Frieling,  associate  director 
of  alumni  programs,  said  Achilles  served  in  multiple  roles  at 
the  KSU  Alumni  Association. 

"She  is  a  good  person  with  a  good  work  ethic  who  loves 
K- State,"  Frieling  said.  "She  is  a  wonderful  asset  to  have."

Men  undertake  a  Kansas  Kickoff  Show  in  Topeka  by  organizing 
their  first-ever  cattle  show  in  cooperation  with  Block  &  Bridle  Club 


THE  FACT  THEY  HAD  never  attempted  the  task  did  not 
stop  Alpha  Gamma  Rho  from  organizing  a  cattle  show. 

"We  tried  to  hook  something  to  K-  State  with  a  cattle  show 
because  we  are  pretty  ag-related  around  here,"  Benjamin 
Winsor,  sophomore  in  agricultural  communication  and 
journalism,  said.  "We  wanted  something  that  could  make 
people  think,  'gosh,  that  was  a  fun  time.'" 

The  men  discussed  the  idea  of  a  cattle  show  for  more  than 
a  year  before  deciding  to  arrange  the  event  for  Feb.  14. 

"This  has  been  in  the  making  ever  since  I  started  school," 
Winsor  said.  "It's  something  we  didn't  want  to  rush  into." 

Members  planned  to  repeat  the  event  annually  as  a  way 
to  promote  the  chapter. 

"I  think  it'll  bring  some  attention  to  K- State  as  well  as 
AGR,"  Timothy  McClelland,  junior  in  accounting,  said.  "It 
all  came  down  to  it  being  a  good  PR  tool." 

Brandon  New,  senior  in  animal  sciences  and  industry, 
said  high  numbers  of  cattle,  sponsors  and  participants  made 
the  show  a  success. 


"We  set  a  goal  to  get  200  head  of  steer  and  heifers,"  he  said. 
"We've  been  contacting  breeders  in  the  state  and  asking  them 
if  they'd  like  to  contribute." 

Ties  to  AGR  and  Block  &  Bridle  increased  funding. 

"We  started  by  contacting  former  members  of  those 
clubs,"  Winsor  said.  "Then  we  branched  out  and  contacted 
major  companies." 

AGR  furnished  prizes,  including  $  1,000  savings  bonds,  for 
winners  in  each  contest  —  steer  and  heifer  —  Winsor  said. 

"This  is  a  competition,"  Winsor  said.  "People  hear  about 
that  $1,000  savings  bond,  and  they're  interested." 

Using  the  power  of  cash  prizes  to  draw  a  larger  crowd, 
New  said  the  show  started  as  a  way  to  gain  recognition  among 
other  chapters  sponsoring  similar  events. 

"There  are  several  AGR  chapters  in  the  Midwest,  and 
across  the  nation,  that  have  shows  like  this,"  New  said.  "They 
have  great  success,  and  we  wanted  to  be  involved." 

Serving  as  a  promotional  tool  for  AGR,  Winsor  said  the 
moral  behind  showing  cattle  was  mainly  about  fun.

winning  recognition 

Men  bring  home  the^vnderson  Gold  Communication  Award 


ORT  to  communicate  with  alumni,  the  men 
of  Alpha  Tau  Omega  created  an  in-depth  chapter  magazine 
recognized  at  the  national  level. 

At  ATO  National  Congress,  the  K- State  chapter  received 
the  Anderson  Gold  Communication  Award  for  their  Web  site 
and  alumni  magazine,  The  Vintage. 

"(Communication)  is  a  major  facet  of  what  we  do,"  said 
Richard  Harrison,  2002  Vintage  editor  and  senior  in  civil 
engineering.  "I  don't  think  anyone  else  puts  that  kind  of 
time  and  effort  into  a  publication  like  we  do." 

Published  once  per  semester,  The  Vintage  was  the  work 
of  active  members  and  alumni.  The  magazine  featured  ATO 
philanthropies,  social  activities,  intramurals  and  awards. 

Harrison  said  the  magazine's  purpose  included  keeping  in 
touch  with  alumni,  increasing  morale  and  reminiscing. 

"It's  phenomenal  how  everyone  gets  together  and  puts 
out  a  magazine,"  said  Erik  Ankrom,  assistant  communication 
officer  and  junior  in  management  information  systems.  "It 
just  amounts  to  everybody  doing  their  daily  thing." 

The  magazine,  mailed  to  alumni,  became  available  online 
to  members  and  parents  in  spring  2002.

Ankrom,  ATO's  Web  engineer,  maintained  the  Web  site 
and  was  chiefly  responsible  for  The  Vintage's  placement 
online.  Ankrom  and  Harrison  agreed  condensing  and 
formatting  The  Vintage  for  Web  publication  was  one  of  their 
biggest  accomplishments. 

"It  was  tricky  to  get  it  online,"  Ankrom  said,  "but  it  gives 
you  a  chance  to  show  off  your  creative  abilities." 

The  award  recognized  ATO's  chapter  Web  site.  Ankrom 
said  all  ATO  officers  and  William  Muir,  chapter  adviser  and 
assistant  vice  president  of  institutional  advancement,  assumed 
responsibility  for  the  site's  content. 

"It  amounts  to  everybody  chipping  in,"  Ankrom  said. 
"The  guys  are  willing  to  help." 

HarrisonsaidATO'snationallyrecognizedcommunication 
skills  came  from  a  desire  to  give  back  to  their  alumni. 

"We  take  great  pride  in  the  magazine  because  we  realize 
the  need  to  communicate  thoroughly  with  all  of  our  alumni," 
Brian  Hall,  junior  in  biology  and  2003  editor,  said.  "I  think 
The  Vintage  is  a  great  way  to  show  all  of  our  alumni  that  we 
want  to  keep  them  informed  of  what  is  currently  going  on  in 
our  chapter."

of  a  fingerprint  scanner  conjured 
images  of  impenetrable  bank- vault  doors  with  infrared  lasers 
crisscrossing  the  threshold,  but  at  the  Alpha  Xi  Delta  house, 
a  fingerprint  scanner  referred  to  keyless  entry. 

"The  scanner  was  installed  to  make  the  house 
safer,"  Christina  Nelson,  president  and  senior  in  mass 
communication,  said.  "The  old  system  worked  fine,  but  this 
way  we  don't  have  to  worry  about  anyone  finding  the  code 
to  get  in." 

Alpha  Xi  had  several  options  ranging  from  a  card  swipe 
system  to  an  electronic  key  on  a  pendant,  but  those  systems 
had  flaws. 

"All  of  the  systems  we  were  looking  at  required  some 
piece  of  equipment  that  could  be  lost  or  stolen,"  Migette

Kaup,  building  corporation  president,  said.  "We  wouldn't 
have  to  worry  about  that  with  a  scanner.  You  always  have 
your  finger  with  you." 

The  system,  designed  to  be  simple,  consisted  only  of  a 
palm-sized  scanning  panel  electronically  connected  to  the 
door's  lock  and  a  backup  power  source.  People  using  the 
system  had  to  first  scan  their  fingerprint  into  the  central 
computer.  Then  the  data  was  taken  to  the  print  scanners  and 
uploaded. 

House  members  simply  touched  the  panel  with  their 
finger,  waited  for  a  green  light  and  entered. 

"It  has  been  really  nice,"  Shelley  Mclver,  junior  in 
elementary  education,  said.  "It's  a  lot  easier  not  having  to 
remember  a  code  to  get  in  the  house."

little  sisters 

Program  gives  fraternity  a  chance  to  mentor,  form 
friendships  with  college  women,  enjoy  activities 


Active  since  the  1970s,  Beta  Sigma  Psi  Little  Sister  program 
offered  fraternity  members,  as  well  as  the  participating 
women,  an  opportunity  to  meet  and  get  to  know  each  other 
while  participating  in  activities  and  volunteer  programs. 

Women  Little  Sisters  were  paired  up  with  men  from  the 
fraternity  —  called  Big  Brothers.  This  allowed  for  more  one- 
on-one  communication  and  bonding. 

"The  Little  Sis  program  is  a  service  program  but  they 
also  get  to  participate  in  activities  including  a  formal,  messy 
Olympics  and  others,"  Mark  Buxton,  junior  in  horticulture, 
said.  "I  basically  represent  the  house  and  oversee  the  Little  Sis 
meetings  as  well  as  keep  them  informed  about  what  is  going 
on  in  the  house." 

The  Little  Sister  group,  which  met  twice  a  month,  grew  to 
24  women,  more  than  double  what  it  had  been  in  past  years. 


"We  recruit  by  placing  an  ad  in  the  Collegian  the  first  three 
days  of  the  year,  along  with  posting  fliers  and  a  lot  of  word  of 
mouth,"  Buxton  said.  "We  have  worked  hard  recruiting." 

Haley  Roberts,  Little  Sister  president  and  junior  in  political 
science,  helped  organize  events  and  run  meetings. 

"It  is  mainly  a  social  thing,"  Roberts  said.  "It  is  an  excellent 
opportunity  to  meet  people,  especially  as  a  freshman." 

The  Little  Sisters  in  the  program  said  they  enjoyed  learning 
about  others  as  well  as  themselves. 

"Meeting  guys  and  getting  to  know  them  without  having 
to  impress  anyone  is  one  of  the  main  positives,"  Jacqueline 
Moore,  freshman  in  architecture,  said.  "It  is  fun  to  be  able 
to  just  be  yourself  and  act  ornery  with  the  guys  if  you  want. 
I  have  gotten  to  know  the  guys  better  this  way  where  there 
isn't  any  pressure."

Fraternity  members  decorate  house,  provide  evening  of  fright 

to  raise  money,  food  for  Heart  Strings  Community  Service,  Breadbasket 


to  pearly  gates,  the  second 
annual  Beta  Theta  Pi  haunted  house  was  innovative. 

Based  on  the  Edge  of  Hell  haunted  house,  located  in  Kansas 
City,  Mo.,  Betas  incorporated  their  own  ideas,  Christopher 
Mirakian,  junior  in  business  administration,  said.  Where  the 
Kansas  City  house  featured  a  bridge,  Betas  used  crates  for  a 
similar  effect. 

"We  didn't  have  as  large  of  a  budget  as  theirs,"  Mirakian 
said.  "We  had  to  adapt.  " 

The  Betas  spent  $300  of  the  $450  allotted  budget. 

Planning  took  one  month  and  actual  work  on  the  haunted 
house  began  at  noon  Oct.  31.  Members  spent  six  hours 
organizing  and  decorating  the  four  floors  of  the  house,  Peter 
Carter,  president  and  senior  in  biology,  said. 

"We  had  a  heaven -to -hell  theme,"  Carter  said.  "People 
went  in  the  front  door  down  to  the  basement.  The  basement 
was  hell,  decorated  in  red  with  a  devil." 

The  kitchen  was  turned  into  a  torture  room  with  an 
operation  in  progress. 


On  the  main  floor,  a  rave  room  lined  with  red  made  it 
difficult  for  people  to  find  the  entrances  and  exits. 

"It  was  a  crazy  room  with  strobe  lights  and  techno  music, 
so  people  got  lost  in  there,"  Carter  said.  "Then  there  was  a 
spooky  room  with  dead  bodies,  and  then  a  graveyard  room 
with  vines  and  grave  stones  and  a  wooden  bridge." 

The  second  floor,  or  earth  level,  was  completely  dark,  with 
people  jumping  out  at  visitors. 

The  third  floor,  all  white  and  lined  with  toilet  paper,  was 
filled  with  ghosts.  Gates  to  heaven  stood  at  the  end  of  the 
hallway. 

Approximately  300  people  went  through  the  haunted 
house,  making  it  a  success,  said  Joel  Gentry,  philanthropy 
chair  and  sophomore  in  open -option.  Visitors  had  the  option 
of  donating  cans  of  food  or  a  $2 -admission  charge. 

"We  collected  359  pounds  of  food  for  the  Manhattan 
Breadbasket,"  Gentry  said.  "We  also  raised  over  $600  for 
our  philanthropy,  which  was  Heart  Strings  Community 
Service."

Sorority  women  coach  several  fraternities 
in  annual  fall  philanthropy  to  raise  funds 


Greek  organizations  congregated  for  the  15th  annual 
Pledge  Games  Sept.  22.  But  one  sorority  did  not  participate 
in  the  competition. 

Chi  Omega  women  staffed  the  event  and  raised  $14,000 
for  the  American  Red  Cross. 

"Our  main  (philanthropy  event)  is  the  Pledge  Games,"  said 
Ashley  Holmes,  philanthropy  chair  and  senior  in  psychology. 
"It's  a  long  day  and  it  goes  by  fast,  but  it's  definitely  worth 
it." 

The  games  took  place  at  Memorial  Stadium.  Since  it  was 
early  in  the  school  year,  Holmes  said  the  event  also  served  as 
a  chance  to  get  to  know  others. 

"It's  a  good  opportunity  for  new  members  to  get  to  meet 
each  other,"  Holmes  said.  "It  shows  them  what  K- State's 
about." 

Lindsay  Friess,  freshman  in  pre-health,  agreed  with 
Holmes  and  said  the  event,  which  was  a  good  time  to  meet 
people,  benefited  a  worthy  organization. 


"There  was  nothing  bad  about  it  so  I  have  no  reason  not 
to  do  it  again,"  Friess  said.  "Being  for  a  good  cause  made  it 
better." 

Lauren  Bakian,  freshman  in  engineering  and  the  Phi 
Gamma  Delta  pledge  coach,  said  the  event  would  have  been 
chaos  without  the  coaches. 

"We  go  and  wake  them  up  in  the  morning  and  bring 
them  juice  and  doughnuts,"  Bakian  said.  "It  helped  get  them 
awake." 

Bakian  said  the  games  fit  her  personality. 

"I'm  really  energetic  and  that's  what  I  love,"  she  said. 
"It  was  a  blast.  I  liked  the  tug- of- war  because  everyone  was 
totally  into  it." 

During  the  tug-  of- war  event,  only  a  baby  swimming  pool 
separated  the  two  teams. 

"My  favorite  event  was  watching  the  tug- of- war,"  Friess 
said.  "I  liked  it  when  the  people  who  lost  fell  in  the  pool  and 
got  wet."

CONSIDERING  HIS  SHOT, 

Jacob  Nelson,  junior 

in  sociology,  spends  a 

Saturday  evening  playing 

pool  with  his  fraternity 

brothers.  The  Dec.  14 

event  served  as  a  rush 

activity  where  Delta 

Chis  met  and  interacted 

with  potential  members.

informal  rush 


j§     Members  personalize  rush  events 
ja*    with  small,  informal  recreation  night 


An  evening  of  bowling,  shooting  pool  and  eating  pizza 
helped  Delta  Chi  men  get  to  know  potential  members  during 
a  Dec.  14  rush  event. 

"We  try  to  show  the  rushees  the  brotherhood,"  Clint 
Bradbury,  junior  in  mass  communication,  said.  "We  just  try 
to  get  everybody  involved." 

Rather  than  coordinate  a  formal  event,  the  Delta 
Chis  organized  a  laid-back  evening,  which  allowed  more 
opportunity  to  get  to  know  and  mingle  with  potential 
members. 

"They're  (rush  events)  pretty  informal,"  Jacob  Nelson, 
junior  in  sociology,  said.  "We  just  like  to  talk  and  get  to  know 
what  kind  of  guys  they  are." 

Eight  potential  members  attended  the  rush  event,  which 
was  the  first  recruiting  event  for  the  school  year.  Bradbury, 
who  organized  the  evening,  said  the  men  tried  to  avoid  larger 
events. 

"We  like  to  keep  our  rush  events  kind  of  small,"  Kenneth 


Shear,  junior  in  management  information  systems,  said. 
"We  feel  like  we  can  get  to  know  the  rushees  better  in  small 
groups." 

Shear  said  the  smaller  turnout  helped  men  form  stronger 
relationships. 

"We  become  better  friends  with  them,"  he  said.  "Then  we 
try  to  rush  them  through  the  house  as  friends." 

Recruiting  was  a  year-long  process,  and  the  men  planned 
several  rush  events,  including  paintballing,  a  Kansas  City 
Royals'  baseball  game  and  traveling  to  Wichita  Feb.  1  to  see 
a  hockey  game  and  eat  at  Hooters. 

"We  try  to  appeal  to  a  lot  of  guys,"  Bradbury  said.  "Rush 
is  what  we  do  all  year." 

Nelson  said  recruitment  was  an  important  part 
in  maintaining  the  quality  and  quantity  of  fraternity 
membership. 

"Rush  drives  the  house,"  Nelson  said.  "You  have  to  have 
a  good  rush  to  get  good  guys."

Sorority  women  spread  holiday  joy  To  others 


LIDAY  season  gave  Delta  Delta  Delta 
women  an  opportunity  to  decorate  and  have  fun. 

Their  annual  Christmas  party,  named  Pine  Party,  allowed 
women  to  share  holiday  cheer  and  spirit. 

"It  is  the  time  of  year  that  we  get  together  and  help  our 
house  mother  decorate,"  Kari  Baldonado,  junior  in  open- 
option,  said.  "We  invite  neighbors,  friends,  family,  boyfriends 
and  anyone  who  wants  to  come." 

The  women  decorated  in  groups. 

"It's  really  fun  because  we  decorate  specific  areas  of  the 
house  as  a  pledge  class,"  Baldonado  said.  "The  seniors  always 
do  the  tree,  so  that  is  what  everyone  is  waiting  for." 

Members  enjoyed  baking  and  entertaining  guests, 
Baldonado  said. 

"We  decorate  cookies  and  have  cider  and  punch,"  she  said, 
"Once  we  are  finished  preparing,  our  guests  come  over." 

Baldonado  said  members  offered  a  traditional  gift- 
exchange,  but  Pine  Party  functioned  for  Tri-Delts  to  get  to 
know  others  and  enjoy  each  other's  company. 

"It  was  really  nice  to  get  dressed  up  and  relax,"  Megan 
McPheter,  senior  in  finance,  said.  "It  reminded  everyone  that 


finals  were  around  the  corner,  but  that  there  was  still  time  to 
relax  and  enjoy  the  holiday  season." 

The  party  was  a  tradition  members  enjoyed  prior  to  their 
personal  seasonal  celebrations. 

"It's  sentimental,"  Georgia  Mulligan,  junior  in  mass 
communication,  said.  "Some  of  the  girls  graduate  in  December 
and  it's  the  last  thing  we  do  as  a  house." 

During  Pine  Party,  Tri-Delts  surprised  their  house 
mother,  Karen  Robbins,  with  a  gift  certificate  to  Manhattan 
Town  Center. 

"Our  house  mom  means  so  much  to  us,"  Mulligan  said. 
"She  gets  emotional  when  we  do  things  like  that,  and  it  makes 
us  emotional,  too." 

After  touring  the  house  and  eating  cookies,  members 
and  guests  ended  the  evening  by  caroling  around  the 
neighborhood. 

"We  sang  songs  like  'Jingle  Bells'  and  'Deck  the  Halls,'" 
Megan  Bonewitz,  senior  in  elementary  education,  said.  "We 
go  caroling  to  the  sororities  and  fraternities  around  ours,  and 
to  the  neighbors  that  have  been  supportive,  kind  of  to  repay 
them  for  just  being  our  neighbors."

Fraternity  men  pitch  in  to  help  the  Junior  League  raise  money 


WITH  SPONSORS  who  usually  helped  with  fund -raisers 
for  philanthropy  events  commited  to  other  projects,  Delta 
Sigma  Phi  changed  their  plan  and  stepped  into  a  volunteer 
position. 

"We  wanted  to  find  a  charity  that  we  could  make  into 
a  kind  of  tradition  for  the  house,"  R.  Scott  Tatro,  junior  in 
management  information  systems,  said.  "We  went  to  see  if 
we  could  get  any  sponsorship  from  local  businesses,  but  they 
were  pretty  much  all  sponsored  out." 

However,  the  Junior  League  needed  help  to  run  its  Road 
to  the  Bowl  campaign. 

"The  Junior  League  is  a  national  women's  organization 
that  raises  money  to  fund  smaller  charities,"  Arnold  Ferry, 
house  adviser,  said.  "We  just  gave  them  the  manpower  they 
needed  for  their  program." 

Road  to  the  Bowl  was  a  fund-raising  effort  in  which  men 
sold  raffle  tickets  at  booths  in  front  of  Varney's  Book  Store  on 
football  game  days.  Each  ticket  was  a  chance  to  win  an  all- 
expenses-paid  trip  to  the  Pacific  Life  Holiday  Bowl. 

Each  member  volunteered  for  a  two -hour  time  slot  to  sell 
tickets;  pledges  took  two  slots  apiece.  At  four  shifts  per  game, 


the  Delta  Sigs  donated  more  than  140  hours,  Tatro  said. 

Delta  Sigs  benefited  from  attention  the  campaign  brought 
to  the  fraternity. 

"Since  we  were  such  a  big  supporter  of  the  Junior  League, 
we  got  to  do  a  lot  of  publicity  on  the  radio,"  Tatro  said.  "It 
turned  out  to  be  a  big  rush  tool." 

The  campaign  raised  $2,000,  which  the  Junior  League 
distributed  to  smaller  charities  in  need  of  financial  support, 
Ferry  said. 

"This  was  a  great  philanthropy,"  he  said.  "It  wasn't  just 
about  charity.  It  got  the  whole  community  involved  and 
excited." 

The  Junior  League  was  grateful  for  help  on  the  project, 
Lori  Lavin,  Road  to  the  Bowl  committee  chair,  said. 

"(Delta  Sigs)  provided  all  the  manpower  we  needed  and 
more,"  she  said.  "They  were  responsible  for  50  percent  of  the 
funds  we  raised." 

The  men  were  glad  to  have  found  a  rewarding  cause  to 
support,  Tatro  said. 

"We  really  enjoyed  helping  them  out,"  he  said.  "We  hope 
to  continue  this  in  years  to  come,  as  long  as  they'll  have  us."

class,  while  Katherine 

Montoy,  freshman  in

History  Before  1877 

class.  Throughout 

campus,  students  found 

the  perfect  spot  to 

take  a  break  and  read. 

"Sometimes  I  read  right 

before  class,  outside 

Nichols,  or  by  the  big  oak 

tree  where  you  can  see 

Anderson,"  Percy  said.  "It's 

most  convenient  for  me  to 

read  by  Nichols  since  all  of 

my  classes  are  there."

toys  for  tots 

Members  collect  donations,  personal  funds 
to  purchase  toys  for  less  fortunate  children 


A  bike,  an  electric- toy  guitar,  race  car  sets,  a  toy- beauty 
salon  and  toy- dish  sets  comprised  a  few  items  Delta  Tau 
Delta  members  donated  to  the  Manhattan  area  Toys  for  Tots 
program. 

Andy  Fogel,  Delt  philanthropy  chair  and  sophomore  in 
business  administration,  said  the  fraternity  expanded  its 
philanthropy  because  members  were  excited  to  participate 
in  the  toy  drive. 

"We  all  grew  up  having  great  Christmases,"  Aaron  Leiker, 
junior  in  mass  communication,  said.  "We  all  want  other  kids 
to  have  good  Christmases,  too." 

Delts  collected  toys  for  the  charity  in  three  ways. 

Fogel  asked  sororities  to  donate  toys  as  well. 

The  women  had  a  month  to  gather  items  before  the  Delts 
collected  and  counted  the  bags  of  toys.  The  sororities  donated 
nearly  150  toys  for  the  philanthropy. 

Delts  set  up  a  booth  outside  K-B  Toys  in  Manhattan 
Town  Center  to  encourage  shoppers  to  donate.  Fogel  said 
this  collection  effort  gained  50  toys. 

In  the  final  contribution  to  the  philanthropy,  each  Delt 
donated  $15  to  purchase  additional  toys  for  the  program. 

K-B  Toys  gave  the  fraternity  20  percent  off  all  toys,  and 
opened  an  hour  before  normal  store  hours  Dec.  15  so  the 


men  could  shop. 

Fogel,  Leiker,  and  Kevin  Knapp,  sophomore  in  business 
administration,  shopped  with  the  money  members  donated — 
more  than  $500.  By  the  end  of  the  philanthropy,  a  mound  of 
toys  piled  in  the  Delt  house. 

"The  guys  are  just  in  awe  of  the  amount  and  quality  of 
the  toys,"  Leiker  said. 

The  philanthropy  was  bigger  and  better  than  the 
year  before,  Ryan  Weber,  former  philanthropy  chair  and 
sophomore  in  marketing,  said. 

Weber  said  formerly  members  contributed  $5-10  apiece 
and  didn't  have  as  much  sorority  participation,  but  Toys  for 
Tots  still  appreciated  their  contributions. 

"I  remember  how  thankful  they  were  because  we  came 
through  for  them,"  Weber  said.  "Last  year  the  corporate 
sponsor  didn't  come  through,  so  those  kids  wouldn't  have 
had  any  presents." 

Delts  were  not  allowed  to  distribute  the  toys  to  the  children 
because  of  confidentiality  restrictions,  but  Leiker  said  the 
fraternity  still  enjoyed  helping  out. 

"I'd  love  to  see  the  kids'  faces  light  up  when  they  see  their 
toys,  but  under  the  circumstances  I  definitely  understand," 
he  said.  "We're  just  happy  to  donate."

j  irreplaceable 

*     Fraternity  members  vote  to  complete  house  mother's 


£ 


duties  rather  than  fill  the  vacated  position 


Managing  without  a  house  mother  for  more  than  25 
years,  members  of  Delta  Upsilon  did  not  find  the  thought 
of  living  without  one  unusual  —  until  the  2001  arrival  and 
2002  departure  of  Connie  Coleman.  Her  absence  significantly 
affected  DU  members,  Aaron  Siders,  senior  in  management, 
said. 

"She  was  amazing,"  Siders  said.  "She  did  so  much  for  the 
house.  She  was  the  best  possible  person  we  could  have  gotten 
for  a  house  mom." 

Spring  2003,  Coleman  resigned  to  pursue  a  job  in  Salina, 
Kan. 

The  idea  of  replacing  her  was  unthinkable,  Siders  said, 
but  that  was  not  the  only  reason  behind  the  decision  to  go 
without  a  house  mother. 

"The  mortgage  is  high,  of  course,  and  we  could  save  some 
money  by  not  looking  for  a  replacement,"  he  said.  "Plus,  we 
could  never  find  one  who  would  measure  up." 

Coleman  fulfilled  different  roles  in  the  fraternity,  and  after 


she  left,  those  roles  had  to  be  filled  by  someone  else. 

"Some  of  the  officers  took  over  the  stuff  she  did,  like 
teaching  etiquette  and  keeping  a  photograph  album  of 
everything,"  Aaron  Sloup,  president  and  junior  in  computer 
science,  said.  "We  still  kind  of  need  (a  house  mother),  but  we 
can  cover  everything  OK." 

Finding  a  new  house  mother  might  have  still  been  an 
option,  but  there  were  several  factors  to  be  considered  before 
deciding. 

"We  had  a  great  house  mom,"  Sloup  said.  "We  don't  just 
want  a  filler." 

Before  the  house  could  vote  on  a  replacement,  Terry 
Kershner,  academic  adviser,  had  to  provide  a  list  of  candidates 
he  had  reviewed.  He  said  screening  was  not  an  easy  process. 

"Personality  is  the  biggest  factor,"  Kershner  said.  "They 
have  to  be  able  to  understand  college  boys.  After  Connie,  I 
just  didn't  think  any  of  the  candidates  were  dynamic 
enough."

Men  unite  on  Sunday  nights  for  higher  level  of  praise, 
worship,  community  involvement 


pulsed  through  the  corridors  of  All 
Faiths  Chapel  as  K- State  students  joined  hands  in  praise  and 
worship. 

FarmHouse  men  began  Sunday  night  praise  and  worship 
sessions  early  December  with  more  than  100  attendants  at 
the  first  gathering. 

"The  main  idea  is  that  we  don't  want  the  focus  on  just  us," 
Jason  Graves,  sophomore  in  horticulture,  said.  "We  want  it  to 
be  on  Christ.  Our  vision  is  to  enter  into  the  worship  —  that's 
our  heart's  desire." 

Graves,  who  helped  organize  the  event,  said  after  the  idea 
was  formed  it  took  a  year  for  formal  preparation  and  behind- 
the-scenes  planning. 

"A  lot  of  funds  were  donated  toward  equipment,"  Graves 
said.  "People  have  been  very  helpful  and  the  guys  in  the  house 
have  been  very  generous." 

Graves  said  the  program  was  fairly  inexpensive  to  produce 
because  of  donated  equipment  from  the  Farmers. 

The  equipment,  needed  for  the  live  band,  included  two 


acoustic  guitars,  a  bass  guitar,  a  jambeau  and  singers. 

The  gatherings,  open  to  anyone  who  wanted  to  attend, 
occurred  two-to-three  times  a  month.  Each  session  was  one 
hour  long  with  45  minutes  focused  on  praise  and  worship.  The 
remaining  time  was  devoted  to  scripture  reading  and  prayer 
led  by  one  of  eight  leaders. 

"We  want  people  to  come  and  forget  about  everything," 
Daniel  Munden,  junior  in  agronomy,  said.  "We  want  them  to 
come  to  worship  the  Lord  and  focus  on  Him." 

Munden  said  the  Farmers  were  excited  about  the  praise 
and  worship  sessions. 

"This  year  we  had  enough  people  who  wanted  to  do  it," 
Lance  Stafford,  senior  in  elementary  education,  said.  "We  had 
a  combination  of  factors  that  worked  for  us." 

Stafford  said  it  worked  because  everyone  was  focused  and 
willing  to  put  forth  the  extra  effort. 

"We  aren't  really  in  it  to  benefit,"  Stafford  said.  "The 
biggest  benefit  is  for  people  to  show  up  and  enjoy  the  praise 
and  worship."

bond  girls 

Sorority  members  spend  time  away  from  routine 
to  get  to  know  eaeh  other,  deepen  relationships 


Promoting  bonding  and  sisterhood,  members  of  Gamma 
Phi  Beta  participated  in  Loyalty  Circle. 

Emily  Fagan,  education  vice  president  and  senior  in 
elementary  education,  assigned  a  woman  from  each  pledge 
class  in  one  of  12  groups. 

Fagan  said  she  tried  to  keep  an  equal  amount  of  women 
from  each  pledge  class  together,  but  it  was  not  always  possible 
because  of  differing  numbers. 

"This  was  just  a  thing  where  the  girls  went  out  and  did 
something  with  each  other,"  Fagan  said.  "They  could  do 
anything  they  wanted  —  go  out  to  eat  or  go  to  movies.  Some 
went  caroling  to  girls  who  lived  out  of  the  house." 

Stephanie  Foreman,  freshman  in  psychology,  said  she 
was  able  to  meet  an  array  of  people  by  participating  in  the 
circle. 

"I  like  that  we  get  one -on -one  time  to  spend  with  the 
other  girls  in  our  group,"  Foreman  said.  "Besides  meeting 


the  other  girls,  participating  in  the  Loyalty  Circle  provides 
a  good  chance  to  practice  fellowship  with  members  of  the 
sorority." 

The  circle  provided  a  good  opportunity  for  the  juniors 
and  seniors  of  the  house  to  meet  and  get  to  know  the 
underclassmen,  Brooklyn  Cleveland,  junior  in  apparel 
marketing  and  design,  said. 

"We  are  set  up  with  a  lot  of  girls  we  hadn't  been  able  to 
yet  interact  with,"  Cleveland  said.  "It's  a  great  opportunity 
for  us  to  meet  our  sisters  who  aren't  in  the  same  pledge  class 
as  we  are." 

In  addition  to  bonding,  the  women  were  honored  for 
event  originality. 

At  the  end  of  each  month,  the  group  with  the  most  creative 
activity  during  the  month  received  a  prize. 

"Trying  to  come  up  with  something  original  is  the  best 
part,"  Fagan  said.  "We  always  want  to  win  the  prize."

gifts  for  the  needy 

Sorority  members  collect  gifts  for  underprivileged  famnie 


with  friends  and  loved  ones 
was  a  time-honored  tradition  during  the  holiday  season,  but 
the  women  of  Kappa  Alpha  Theta  decided  to  give  to  those  in 
need  as  well. 

Through  local  programs  —  Toys  for  Tots  and  Adopt  a 
Family  —  members  took  their  normal  gift  budget,  pooled 
their  money  and  provided  needed  gifts  for  Manhattan's  less 
fortunate. 

"This  is  the  second  year  I  have  participated  with  Adopt  a 
Family,"  Lindsey  George,  sophomore  in  agriculture  education, 
said.  "If  we  exchange  gifts  with  each  other,  we  spend  the  same 
amount.  This  way  we  can  pool  our  money  and  get  what  they 
need." 

The  gifts  were  tailored  to  each  family's  needs. 

"We  have  a  list  that  ranges  from  silverware  to  toys  for 
children,"  George  said.  "Last  year  we  were  able  to  help  two 


families.  This  year  we  just  chose  to  do  one." 

From  socks,  hats  and  gloves  to  games  for  children  young 
and  old,  one  program  offered  the  Thetas  a  chance  to  help  out 
a  fraternity's  philanthropy. 

"This  year  we  are  doing  Toys  for  Tots  with  a  partnering 
fraternity  because  it  is  their  philanthropy,"  Lindsay  Walter, 
senior  in  music  education,  said.  "We  will  just  go  to  the  store 
and  buy  the  gifts  and  then  wrap  them  as  a  group." 

Theta  members  who  lived  both  in  and  out  of  house  took 
part  in  the  experience. 

"A  lot  of  fifth  year  seniors,  who  are  no  longer  active  or 
just  alums  that  live  nearby,  come  back  and  participate  with 
their  pledge  families,"  Beth  Ludlum,  senior  in  agricultural 
communication  and  journalism,  said.  "Pledge  daughters, 
moms,  grandmas  and  great- grandmas  form  a  group  and  they 
enjoy  going  and  buying  gifts  for  others  in  Manhattan."

Out  of  respect,  admiration  sorority  women  organize 
engagement  shower  for  house  mother,  welcome  house  father 


of  Kappa  Kappa  Gamma  organized  a 
wedding  shower  Nov.  17  to  celebrate  house  mother  Michelle 
Alexander's  engagement  and  wedding  to  Darell  Edie. 

The  members  took  time  out  of  their  schedules  to  show 
appreciation  and  respect  for  their  house  mother,  said  Amy 
Metsker,  president  and  senior  in  speech. 

"We  really  just  asked  her  what  she  wanted  to  do,"  Metsker 
said.  "We  wanted  to  honor  her." 

The  shower  included  cake,  punch,  gifts  and  stories  of  how 
the  couple  met  and  became  engaged. 

"Michelle  was  really  excited  and  open  to  it,"  Katrina  Boese, 
senior  in  elementary  education,  said.  "She  said  a  million  thank 
yous  to  all  of  us." 

After  the  Dec.  14  wedding,  Kappas  became  the  first 
national  chapter  to  have  a  house  father. 

Boese  said  it  was  pleasant  having  two  people  care  about 
the  house. 

"It  makes  it  even  more  like  a  complete  family,"  Boese  said. 
"He  comes  over  all  the  time,  so  it  won't  be  weird  to  have  a

man  in  the  house." 

After  the  engagement,  Edie  went  to  the  house  to  meet  the 
girls.  They  appreciated  that  he  cared  about  them,  Alexander, 
senior  in  elementary  education,  said. 

"The  girls  seem  eager  to  have  a  male  presence  there  to 
protect  them,"  she  said.  "They  think  the  whole  concept  of 
having  house  parents  is  a  good  concept." 

After  their  previous  house  mother  resigned,  Alexander 
became  house  mother  during  the  summer,  a  position  the 
Kappas  needed  filled  before  rush  events  began. 

"They  were  in  a  jam,  with  it  being  the  middle  of  the 
summer,"  Alexander  said.  "They  needed  someone  in  the 
house  before  Aug.  10." 

Though  the  Kappas  had  a  short  time  to  get  to  know 
their  house  mother  before  the  shower,  there  was  a  sense  of 
admiration. 

"She's  kind  of  our  encourager,"  Boese  said,  "She  always 
says  encouraging  things.  There's  a  respect  between  her  and 
the  girls  in  the  house."

Philanthropy  project  provides  enjoyment,  camaraderie 
for  participants,  raises  funds  for  Breadbasket 


Rice         and  Jacob  Walker 


HA  was  more  than  an  organization 
and  a  place  to  live.  For  the  65  members  it  provided  a  home 
and  family. 

"We  do  a  lot  as  a  house,"  Zach  Baker,  sophomore  in 
business  administration,  said.  "We  support  each  other  in  a 
lot  of  things." 

Through  philanthropy  projects,  the  brothers  spent  time 
helping  others.  One  event,  the  Watermelon  Bust,  gave  a  lasting 
impression  because  of  the  fun  and  camaraderie  it  provided 
for  participating  members. 

"It  was  a  blast,"  Brian  Burley,  sophomore  in  industrial 
engineering,  said.  "It  was  also  a  good  time  because  we  knew 
that  we  were  helping  people,  and  it  was  a  great  time  to  hang 
out  with  the  guys  in  the  house  and  get  to  know  the  new 


members." 

The  event  raised  money  for  the  Flint  Hills  Breadbasket. 

"Since  we  live  here  and  are  part  of  the  community,  we  feel 
we  need  to  give  something  back,"  William  Buchanan,  junior 
in  mechanical  engineering,  said.  "Plus,  it's  a  lot  of  fun." 

All  the  events  —  Twister,  seed  spitting,  relays  and  an 
obstacle  course  —  included  juicy  watermelons. 

For  the  annual  event,  house  members  coached  each 
sorority  that  participated. 

Lambda  Chis  participated  as  team  coaches. 

"We  get  to  interact  with  the  sororities,"  Buchanan  said. 
"Almost  all  the  sororities  participate,  so  it's  a  good  chance  for 
us  to  get  to  know  other  people  in  the  greek  system  and  get  to 
do  fun  things  with  watermelons."

focus  on  fitness 

Women  organize  exercise  program  for  group  involvement 


T  to  promote  fitness  and  socialization,  Delta 
Sigma  Theta  created  the  Delta- cise  program. 

The  week-long  event  invited  students  to  programs  at  the 
Chester  E.  Peters  Recreation  Complex. 

"Delta- cise  is  not  just  for  women  or  our  organization," 
Kelly  Williams,  president  and  senior  in  psychology,  said.  "It 
is  open  to  anyone  on  campus." 

The  sorority  focused  on  five  points  of  public  service  —  one 
was  health. 

Sept.  23  -27,  Delta  Sigma  Theta  organized  group  activities 
for  weight-loss. 

To  promote  the  event,  fliers  were  handed  out  at  the  K-  State 
Student  Union  and  information  passed  by  word-of-mouth 
through  Black  Student  Union  members. 

The  week  began  with  individual  assessments  at  the 
Wellness  Center,  where  each  participant  scheduled  a  unique 
fitness  plan  tailored  to  their  expectations. 

"I  enjoyed  going  to  the  Wellness  Center,"  Krista  Freeman, 
sophomore  in  apparel  marketing  and  design,  said.  "It's  a  good 
way  to  figure  out  your  own  weaknesses  and  what  you  need 
to  work  on." 

Tuesday  and  Wednesday  the  group  participated  in  the 
Kickboxing  Combo  and  Step  Aerobics  classes,  respectively. 

Though  Delta  Sigma  Theta  originally  planned  to  offer 


private  classes,  the  single  -  digit  participation  was  not  adequate 
enough  to  hold  reserved  sessions,  Williams  said. 

Continuing  group  activities  Thursday  and  Friday, 
participants  focused  on  individual  programs. 

Pairs  socialized  while  jogging  on  the  indoor  track  or 
using  the  aerobic-fitness  machines  while  following  their 
pre-determined  workout  schedule. 

"Having  people  work  out  with  you  helps,"  Freeman  said. 
"When  you're  doing  strenuous  things,  talking  takes  your  mind 
off  how  tired  you  are." 

Morgan  Fisher,  senior  in  management,  said  the  peer 
support  encouraged  her  to  continue  exercising. 

"Delta- cise  definitely  helped  me  realize  exercise  really  is 
a  daily  routine,"  she  said. 

Because  a  second  focus  of  public  service  was  international 
awareness  and  involvment,  the  fitness  week  was  planned  in 
conjunction  with  the  Race  for  Humanity,  Sept.  28. 

Although  the  first  Delta -cise  turnout  was  lower  than 
expected,  Williams  said  many  of  the  participants  continued 
to  work  out  together  and  the  sorority  hoped  to  offer  the 
program  once  each  semester. 

"Losing  weight  is  a  life- changing  event,"  Williams  said.  "A 
lot  of  us  wait  until  spring  break  or  New  Year's  to  try  and  lose 
weight.  We  tried  to  challenge  people  to  start  sooner."

Fraternity  members  organize  an  afternoon  of  fun  and  games     ml 
for  local  children  in  the  Boys  &  Girls  Clubs  of  America 


.ECTING  their  commitment  to  and  enjoyment  of 
community  service,  and  working  with  children,  Phi  Delta 
Theta  men  organized  a  field  day  for  children  from  the  Boys 
&  Girls  Club  of  America,  Oct.  10. 

Men  set  up  a  basketball  free  throw,  flying- disc  toss,  three- 
legged  race,  long  jump,  football  and  a  water- balloon  toss. 

The  winners  of  the  basketball,  flying- disc  and  football 
games  received  the  contests'  respective  playing  equipment 
as  prizes. 

"I  never  saw  a  kid  who  wasn't  happy,"  Nicholas  Hunter, 
junior  in  sociology,  said.  "I  don't  think  they  expected  it." 

House  members  divided  into  teams  of  two  or  three  to 
oversee  the  events.  All  the  men  enjoyed  working  the  events, 
William  Tate,  philanthropy  chair  and  senior  in  political 


science,  said. 

"We're  all  for  community  service  events,"  Michael  Arlesic, 
president  and  junior  in  management  information  systems, 
said.  "No  one  has  a  problem  helping  out  with  kids." 

The  event  was  valuable  to  the  children  as  well,  because  it 
provided  good  examples  of  college  experiences. 

"They  benefited  from  having  positive  role  models 
—  especially  college  students,"  Tate  said.  "It's  good  for  them 
to  see  people  around  them  who  are  successful  and  going  to 
college." 

Hunter  said  the  goal  of  the  field  day  was  simple:  to  go  out 
and  have  a  good  time. 

"You  learn  to  give  of  yourself —  to  give  to  society,"  Tate 
said.  "It's  a  good  thing."

§     Junior  sets  model  example  for  house,  joins  health-related 
%>    clubs  to  advance  career  in  medicine 


At  school  he  was  a  self-proclaimed  geek.  He  participated 
in  extracurricular  activities  and  stepped  into  leadership  roles 
when  needed. 

Phi  Gamma  Delta's  Dustin  Kruse,  junior  in  microbiology, 
always  put  people  first,  Kurt  Niebuhr,  house  president  and 
senior  in  industrial  engineering,  said. 

"The  one  thing  I  have  noticed  about  Dustin  is  that  hardly 
anyone  knows  he  is  involved  in  all  these  things,"  Niebuhr  said. 
"This  shows  me  that  he  is  not  doing  it  for  the  recognition,  but 
he  genuinely  likes  helping  others. 

"Even  as  a  sophomore,  he  is  a  great  role  model  for  our 
house  and  the  greek  community  as  a  whole." 

Kruse  was  primarily  involved  with  the  American  Red 
Cross  Club  and  was  selected  to  the  Red  Cross  Disaster  Action 
Team.  Duties  included  responding  to  single-family  fires  and 
helping  counsel  victims  of  tragedy. 

"I  just  like  stuff  like  that  —  helping  people,"  Kruse  said. 
"I'm  a  pre-med  major,  but  seeing  these  situations  with  families 
traumatized  by  something,  and  helping  them  out,  you  learn 
how  to  deal  with  situations  like  that." 

With  a  cellular  phone  to  contact  the  Riley  County 
Fire  Department  and  pager  from  the  Riley  County  Police 


Department,  Kruse  spent  most  days  on  call  from  4:30  p.m. 
to  8:30  a.m. 

"Knowing  you  have  the  ability  to  help  other  people 
seems  to  pull  people  into  the  Red  Cross,"  Abigail  Maze,  club 
president  and  senior  in  biology,  said.  "A  motivated  person 
like  Dustin  makes  a  difference  knowing  the  knowledge  he 
has  could  help  other  people." 

With  17  credit  hours  during  the  fall  semester  in  addition 
to  his  extracurricular  activities,  Kruse  studied  microbiology 
and  planned  to  attend  medical  school. 

"I  like  microbiology  better  than  plain  biology  because 
I  like  seeing  things  at  the  beginning  levels,"  Kruse  said.  "It 
just  amazes  me  how  all  that  works  out  and  just  how  a  sub- 
organism,  like  bacteria,  does  all  that  stuff.  I'm  kind  of  geeky 
that  way." 

Although  the  number  of  hours  spent  on  activities  slowed 
him  down  at  times,  it  was  the  lack  of  extra  time  that  kept  him 
going,  Kruse  said. 

"I  don't  like  having  a  bunch  of  free  time,"  he  said.  "I  don't 
like  just  sitting  there.  I  think  if  you're  on  the  go  and  you  have 
stuff  to  do,  it's  just  gonna  keep  you  motivated  across  the 
board."

weekend  getaway 

Semi-annual  retreat  strengthens  fraternity  focus 


G,  goal  setting  and  fun  filled  Phi  Kappa  Theta's 
retreat  the  first  weekend  in  December. 

The  twice -yearly  event,  Quo  Vadis,  aimed  at  finding  the 
fraternity's  strengths  and  weaknesses. 

"It  is  the  only  time  every  guy  spends  time  together,"  Paul 
Restivo,  junior  in  secondary  education,  said.  "We  come  up 
with  a  plan  of  attack  for  the  year,  a  goal  list  and  then  try  to 
meet  all  our  goals." 

The  retreat,  at  a  member's  home  in  Concord,  Kan.,  was 
an  opportunity  for  members  to  reflect  on  the  year's  good  and 
bad  moments  and  get  a  breath  of  fresh  air. 

"It  gets  us  out  of  the  house,"  Restivo  said,  "away  from 
Manhattan  and  cell  phones." 

Isolation  allowed  Phi  Kaps  to  focus  things  about  the  house, 
Jonathan  Kasper,  sophomore  in  history,  said. 


"The  retreat  is  definitely  positive,"  Kasper  said.  "You  gain 
a  sense  of  direction  and  a  positive  outlook  on  things." 

Members  split  into  smaller  groups  to  discuss  recruitment, 
socials  and  scholarships. 

"It  wasn't  just  a  sit  down  and  talk,"  Alexander  Rossow, 
senior  in  history,  said.  "We  also  played  games." 

Along  with  fun  and  games,  the  men  focused  on  issues 
such  as  house  unity. 

"This  year  there  was  more  commitment  and  more  pride 
than  I've  seen  in  the  past  three  years  since  I've  been  in  the 
house,"  Restivo  said. 

After  arriving  home  Saturday  evening,  Restivo  said  there 
was  a  positive  feeling  between  everyone. 

"The  guys  were  really  pumped  up  at  the  house,"  he  said. 
"They  liked  the  way  things  are  going  now."

All  forever 

College  football  team,  Royals,  KU  fraternity  help  sorority 
remember  member,  create  foundation 


PI  BETA  PHI  member  Alexandra  Kemp  was  killed  lune 
18  while  working  at  a  swimming  pool  in  Leawood,  Kan.  Her 
sorority  sisters  created  the  Ali  Kemp  Education  Foundation  in 
her  memory  to  educate  women  about  violence  and  rape. 

Teaming  up  with  the  Kansas  City  Royals,  K-  State  Wildcats 
and  University  of  Kansas  Jayhawks,  Pi  Phis  raised  $2,000  for 
an  in-house  scholarship  and  continuing  safety  education. 

During  the  summer,  the  Royals  participated  in  the  Pi  Phi 
car  wash  in  Leawood  by  giving  autographs  and  signing  "Rally 
for  Ali"  T-shirts. 

"We  let  them  know  what  was  going  on  and  they  were  more 
than  willing  to  help  us,"  said  Lindsay  Courtney,  sophomore 
in  human  ecology  and  Kemp's  close  friend. 

In  November,  Run  to  Remember  Ali  combined  the  efforts 
of  Pi  Phi  and  KU's  Sigma  Alpha  Epsilon,  the  fraternity  of 
Kemp's  boyfriend,  Phil  Howes. 

Pi  Phis  started  the  run  in  Manhattan  with  a  football  signed 
by  members  of  the  Wildcat  football  team.  The  women  drove 
the  football  to  Lawrence  where  KU  Sig  Eps  joined  them  with 
a  football  signed  by  the  layhawk  football  team. 

Pi  Phi  and  Sig  Ep  members  solicited  pledges  from 
businesses  and  neighbors  for  the  distance  traveled. 

The  two  team  footballs  were  added  to  two  signed  by 
members  of  both  houses  and  presented  to  the  Kemp  family 
during  the  K-  State  versus  KU  football  game,  Nov.  2. 


"There  have  been  many  fund-raisers  and  events  for  Ali," 
Breanne  Paul,  president  and  senior  in  nutritional  sciences, 
said.  "This  touched  us  more  by  far." 

At  the  start  of  the  fall  semester,  Pi  Phis  performed  a  candle 
lighting  dedicated  to  Kemp. 

"We're  just  trying  to  remember  Ali  —  her  life  and  spirit," 
Paul  said.  "We  want  other  people  to  know  who  she  was." 

Nov.  17,  Pi  Phis  organized  a  mandatory  self-defense 
workshop  to  educate  about  self-protection,  Paul  said. 

Tara  Hull,  volunteer  at  the  Women's  Crisis  Center, 
presented  the  workshop. 

"She  told  us  ways  to  live  our  normal  lives  without 
putting  ourselves  at  risk,"  Alb/son  Wray,  junior  in  interior 
architecture,  said.  "We  had  a  lot  of  people  scared.  Everyone 
was  able  to  take  something  tangible  —  new  ideas,  techniques, 
ways  to  keep  safe." 

Wray  said  the  handouts  and  information  given  in  the 
workshop  empowered  Pi  Phis  to  believe  in  each  other  and 
protect  themselves  emotionally  and  physically. 

Pi  Phis  raised  awareness  and  funds  for  the  foundation 
through  donations,  concerts  and  "Ali  Forever"  T-shirts. 

"Ali  was  my  best  friend,"  Courtney  said.  "My  life  has 
changed  forever,  but  I've  also  realized  how  many  other  great 
friends  I  have.  We  are  doing  everything  we  can  to  keep  her 
memory  alive."

Members  maintain  activities,  relationships  without  communal  house 


I]  the  Pi  Kappa  Alpha  fraternity  house,  2021 
College  View  Road,  was  damaged  by  a  space  heater  fire. 

During  the  2001-  2002  school  year,  the  men  rented  the 
Sigma  Sigma  Sigma  house  at  1545  Denison  Ave. 

Fall  2002  and  spring  2003  Pikes  were  houseless.  Members 
rented  apartments  and  pledges  lived  in  the  residence  halls. 

Because  the  chapter  house  was  still  damaged  from  the  fire 
and  Pikes  wanted  to  put  more  money  toward  renovation,  so 
members  went  without  a  house,  Matthew  Wertzberger,  senior 
in  hotel  and  restaurant  management,  said. 

"We  had  been  planning  on  a  renovation  for  a  long  time," 
Chris  Graham,  president  and  junior  in  accounting,  said.  "The 
fire  was  the  event  that  made  us  realize  that  the  time  for  the 
renovation  was  now." 

The  total  renovation  included  new  fire  exits,  room 
alterations  and  changes  to  the  exterior  of  the  building.  Graham 
said  much  of  the  $750,000  needed  came  from  alumni. 

"We  have  some  great  alumni  who  have  really  come  through 
in  assuring  that  the  Pikes  will  remain  a  fixture  on  the  Kansas 
State  campus,"  he  said.  "(But)  the  undergraduates  have  played 
a  huge  role  in  the  renovation.  Some  of  us  have  written  out

pledges  to  donate  money  when  we  are  out  on  our  own." 

Phase  one  of  the  renovation  started  January  2003  and  was 
scheduled  to  end  in  August.  Graham  said  the  men  planned  to 
move  back  in  at  that  time. 

Despite  functioning  without  a  central  meeting  and  living 
unit,  Pikes  stayed  involved,  Wertzberger  said. 

"We  have  worked  together  to  remain  close,"  Graham  said. 
"It's  really  hard  living  all  over  Manhattan." 

To  maintain  group  involvement  and  activities,  Graham 
said  the  men  increased  their  social  programming. 

"The  actives  are  good  at  making  everyone  feel 
involved,"  Ryan  McKenny,  pledge  and  freshman  in  business 
administration,  said.  "Chris  (Graham)  is  always  offering  us 
to  come  over  (to  his  apartment)  whenever  we  want." 

Besides  raising  money  for  renovations  and  maintaining 
active  memberships,  Pikes  had  a  big  hand  in  cleaning  up  the 
house  to  prepare  for  construction,  McKenny  said. 

"I  think  Pikes  here  have  shown  that  they  really  care  about 
the  brotherhood  offered  by  the  fraternity,"  Graham  said. 
"They  want  to  see  that  brotherhood  carry  on  for  generations 
to  come."

Men  assist  children  with  disabilities  through  philanthropy 


to  place  more  emphasis  on  their 
philanthropy,  12  members  of  Pi  Kappa  Phi  adopted  Push 
America,  a  national  outreach  program  specific  to  Pi  Kap 
chapters,  which  helps  citizens  with  disabilities. 

The  mission  of  Push  was  three-fold:  to  raise  awareness 
about  children  with  disabilities,  to  raise  money  for 
handicapped- accessible  facilities  and  to  provide  services  for 
those  with  disabilities. 

"They  encourage  us  to  get  involved  and  raise  money  to 
help  them  fund  wheelchair- accessible  playgrounds,"  said  Sean 
McGivern,  chapter  president  and  senior  in  political  science. 
"They  also  encourage  us  help  people  with  disabilities  in  our 
own  community." 

Members  visited  two  Manhattan  schools,  Frank  Bergman 
Elementary  School  and  Lee  School,  to  help  children  with 
homework  and  spend  time  with  them. 

"The  guys  really  enjoy  it,"  Keith  Richards,  Push  chairman 
and  junior  in  business  administration, said.  "Some  are

kids)  are  just  like  anybody  else." 

Dee  McKee,  Manhattan- Ogden  USD  383  director  of 
special  services,  made  arrangements  with  the  Pi  Kaps. 

"The  principals  they  have  been  working  with  have  been 
pleased  so  far,"  McKee  said.  "They  always  like  volunteers." 

McGivern  said  the  children  responded  positively  to  the 
program. 

"They're  used  to  the  paras  and  teachers,"  McGivern  said. 
"It's  nice  for  them  to  have  a  big  kid  helping  out.  We're  on  their 
side  —  they  can  relate  to  us  a  little  better." 

Once  they  worked  with  the  children  the  first  time,  the 
members  surpassed  their  initial  qualms  and  enjoyed  the 
experience.  The  children  did  too,  Richards  said. 

"People  with  disabilities  sometimes  are  treated  like  they 
don't  have  a  lot  of  potential,"  McGivern  said.  "It's  nice  to  hang 
out  with  them  and  try  to  be  a  positive  influence  on  them." 

McKee  said  she  was  pleased  the  men  offered  their  time  and 
hoped  others  gained  an  appreciation  for  volunteer  work. 

"There  are  still  young  men  out  there  who  care  about  those 
with  special  needs,"  McKee  said.  "It  gladdens  the  heart  when 
they  are  willing  to  do  that  in  spite  of  their  busy  schedules."

staying  active 

Active,  alumni  members  unite  to  celebrate  90  years  of 
brotherhood,  observe  differences  around  community 


Founded  Jan.  25, 1913,  the  K- State  chapter  of  Sigma  Alpha 
Epsilon  celebrated  90  years  during  a  March  reunion. 

The  last  reunion  honored  75  years  of  existence. 

The  2003  event  brought  more  than  350  alumni  and 
spouces  to  Manhattan  for  the  celebration. 

"We  have  a  great  deal  of  pride  in  our  house,"  Charlie 
Hostetler,  1960  SAE  graduate,  said.  "The  current  chapter 
house  was  built  in  1938  and  was  considered  one  of  the  most 
modern  in  the  country." 

Steven  Richardson,  senior  in  marketing  and  international 
business,  said  many  alumni  had  not  been  back  to  K- State 
since  they  graduated. 

The  March  7  weekend  started  with  a  buffet  dinner.

"It's  kind  of  like  a  family  reunion,  but  it's  guys  you  don't 
know,"  Richardson  said.  "They're  telling  the  same  stories 

—  like  about  tailgating  —  with  a  different  twist,  from  a 
different  time  period." 

Saturday  morning,  alumni  boarded  buses  for  a  tour  of  the 
university  and  Manhattan. 

"A  lot  of  people  want  to  see  the  new  alumni  center, 
Bramlage  and  the  football  stadium,"  Hostetler  said.  "There 
has  been  a  lot  of  construction  in  the  last  15  years." 

The  evening  banquet  featured  guests  from  national  SAE 

—  President  Richard  Hopple  and  CEO  Tom  Goodale. 

The  reunion  concluded  with  a  breakfast  March  9  —  the 
date  the  national  fraternity  was  founded  in  1856.

face  off  for  charity 

Fraternity  men  manage  sorority  event,  coach  competitors 


DERBY  DAYS  Sigma  Chi's  annual  fund-raising  event, 
pitted  11  sororities  in  activities  April  26  to  May  4  to  raise 
money  for  the  Children's  Miracle  Network. 

"We  make  most  of  the  money  through  T-shirt  sales,"  Alex 
Roberts,  senior  in  biology,  said.  "We  also  get  some  from  selling 
admission  to  the  events  and  sponsorship  from  companies." 

Sigs  divided  into  groups  of  eight  or  nine  to  coach 
women  competing  in  everything  from  lip  synching  to  dance 
routines. 

The  project  committee  met  with  the  sororities  prior  to 
Derby  Days  to  discuss  rules  and  event  plans. 

"We  thought  we  might  have  a  barbecue  at  Tuttle  Creek 
on  Friday,"  Matt  Fanshier,  sophomore  in  milling  science  and 
management,  said. 

Fanisher  said  a  mechanical  bull  and  radio  station  remote 


broadcast  increased  community  awarenes. 

Although  the  event  was  planned  to  be  fun  for  everyone, 
the  important  part  of  the  philanthropy  was  the  charity  it 
benefited,  Mark  Gipson,  junior  in  industrial  engineering, 
said. 

"The  Children's  Miracle  Network  is  set  up  to  help 
underprivileged  kids,"  Gipson  said.  "They  help  with  medical 
care  and  presents  for  the  kids." 

The  first  day  of  the  competition  was  reserved  for  a  tour  of 
the  Children's  Miracle  Network  in  Topeka  where  participants 
saw  the  benefits  provided  by  Derby  Days. 

"On  Monday,  before  we  start  all  the  contests,  everyone 
takes  a  trip  down  to  Topeka,"  Fanshier  said.  "We  visit  the 
hospital  we  are  raising  money  for.  That  way  everyone  could 
see  how  all  the  money  was  spent."

sisters  unite 

Competitiveness  put  aside  when  members  from  rival 
universities  come  together  for  education,  bonding 


Wildcat  fans  considered  the  University  of  Kansas  an 
intrastate  rival,  but  Sigma  Kappa  women  saw  members  of 
the  KU  Sigma  Kappa  chapter  as  family. 

"Our  sorority  is  not  only  K-  State,"  Kimberly  Lawson,  senior 
in  kinesiology,  said,  "it's  all  Sigma  Kappa  nationwide." 

Christen  Montgomery,  junior  in  journalism  and  mass 
communications,  agreed  the  sorority  encompassed  more 
than  local  members. 

"No  matter  what  school  we  go  to,  we're  all  sisters," 
Montgomery  said.  "It  shows  what  a  powerful  thing  it  is  to 
found  an  organization  on  these  specific  ideals." 

Founder's  Day,  Nov.  9,  brought  together  both  chapters  to 
celebrate  the  yearly  event.  The  event  encouraged  members  to 
learn  more  about  their  organization  by  sharing  ideas  between 
chapters. 

"It  is  important  because  we  forget  that  we're  a  national 
organization,"  Regan  Rose,  president  and  senior  in 
architecture,  said.  "We  share  a  lot  of  the  same  ideas.  It's  good 


to  get  to  know  each  other." 

Rose  said  members  were  eager  to  meet  their  counterparts 
in  Lawrence. 

"Everybody  has  been  open  and  receptive  to  meeting  the 
girls,"  she  said.  "It  offers  a  chance  to  know  each  other  and  for 
the  girls  to  meet  each  other  and  exchange  ideas." 

In  addition  to  the  Founder's  Day  celebration,  new 
members  traveled  to  KU  to  learn  about  different  aspects  of 
the  sorority. 

"In  the  spring  (2002)  we  took  our  new  members  for  a 
retreat,"  Rose  said.  "It  was  education  for  our  new  members. 
We  went  to  Lawrence  and  stayed  at  their  house." 

In  exchange,  members  of  the  KU  chapter  came  to 
Manhattan  to  attend  the  mud  bowl,  an  event  the  K- State 
women  organized.  Lawson  said  their  presence  was  appreciated 
by  the  local  chapter. 

"We  get  along  really  well,"  Lawson  said.  "We  are  always 
trying  to  support  each  other."

Growth 

Through  3  phases  members  of  Sigma  Nu  enhance  skills, 
gain  camaradarie,  learn  lessons  used  in  all  aspects  of  life 


Ethics.  Achievement.  Development. 

Sigma  Nu  hoped  to  instill  those  four  characteristics  in 
each  of  its  pledges  and  active  members  through  the  LEAD 
Program. 

The  program,  started  seven  years  ago,  required 
participation  from  all  members  regardless  of  seniority.  It 
was  divided  into  three  phases:  phase  one  for  new  pledges, 
phase  two  for  second  year  members  and  phase  three  for  all 
members. 

By  doing  exercises  from  workbooks  and  practicing  team- 
building  activities,  Sigma  Nus  hoped  to  gain  experience  for 
real-life  situations. 

"It  helps  members  become  leaders,"  Alejandro  Medina, 
junior  in  mass  communication,  said.  "When  they  are  out  in 
the  real  world,  they  will  have  the  skills  to  get  into  the  offices. 
They  won't  go  in  with  their  feet  tied  together." 

Michael  Motycka,  senior  in  animal  sciences  and  industry, 
was  a  member  of  the  LEAD  Collegiate  Advisory  Board  for 
Sigma  Nu  nationals.  One  of  the  board's  duties  was  finding

ways  to  improve  LEAD. 

"Frats  get  a  bad  rap  for  partying  and  drinking,"  he  said. 
"To  get  rid  of  that,  you  need  leadership  skills,  social  skills  and 
problem  solving  skills,  and  that's  what  LEAD  is  all  about." 

Although  he  did  not  know  about  the  program  when  he 
rushed  Sigma  Nu,  Douglas  Berry,  freshman  in  open -option, 
said  LEAD  helped  break  the  ice  between  new  members  at  the 
beginning  of  the  year. 

"The  first  couple  of  weeks  it  brought  us  together  and  we 
learned  a  lot  about  our  pledge  brothers  through  it,"  Berry 
said.  "(LEAD)  lets  you  know  fraternities  are  serious  and  need 
leadership  roles  to  run  the  house,  they  aren't  just  a  place  to 
party  and  have  fun." 

While  the  program  helped  members  in  their  daily 
schedules,  it  also  proved  to  be  beneficial  to  their  future, 
Medina  said. 

"Employers  want  to  see  employees  have  leadership  skills," 
Medina  said.  "They  will  be  valuable  assets  to  the  company. 
So  people  know  it  will  help  them  out."

Renovation  of  chapter  house  welcome  after 
fund-raising  projects,  member  contributions 


THIRTY-THREE  YEARS  after  original  construction,  the 
Tau  Kappa  Epsilon  house  was  gutted  and  remodeled. 

Located  at  1516  N.  Manhattan  Ave.,  the  expected  project 
completion  was  August  2004. 

"It's  a  $1.7-million  renovation,"  Brandon  Buschart, 
sophomore  in  business  administration,  said.  "We're  re  -  doing 
the  whole  inside." 

Eric  Westerman,  president  and  senior  in  architecture, 
said  the  majority  of  funds  for  the  project  came  from  alumni, 
while  active  members  increased  monthly  bills  for  three  years 
to  contribute  to  the  renovation. 

"We  just  felt  like  we  needed  to  keep  up  with  the  other 
houses  on  campus,"  Westerman  said,  "We  know,  in  order  to 
keep  competitive,  we  have  to  stay  up-to-date." 


Before  the  renovation,  sleeping  and  studying  rooms  were 
restricted  to  two  men.  The  first  priority  was  to  expand  the 
rooms  to  accommodate  four  men  each. 

"There  will  be  four- men  study  rooms  connected  to  a  four- 
men  sleeping  area,"  Brad  Simmons,  sophomore  in  journalism 
and  mass  communications,  said.  "And,  eventually,  the  entire 
house  will  be  wired  with  ethernet." 

Although  remodeling  started  with  individual  rooms,  the 
plan  included  improvements  in  the  bathrooms,  basement, 
kitchen  and  formal  living  room.  They  also  planned  to  turn  the 
entryway  toward  the  parking  lot  for  better  accessibility. 

"It  looks  great,"  Westerman  said,  "It  has  changed  quite  a 
bit  and  looks  more  like  an  apartment  complex,  or  even  a  hotel, 
instead  of  a  frat  house."

twice  more 

Fraternity  members  double  their  numbers  by  initiating 
6  brothers,  increasing  recruitment  tactics 


Initiating  six  men  resulted  in  Triangle  more  than  doubling 
its  total  membership. 

With  11  members,  Triangle  became  more  involved  on 
campus,  said  Aaron  Fish,  pledge  educator  and  senior  in  hotel 
and  restaurant  management. 

"It  lets  us  do  things  we  couldn't  do  in  the  past,"  Fish  said. 
"We  actually  did  a  philanthropy  this  semester." 

Each  active  member  worked  hard  recruiting  pledges, 
Fish  said. 

"It  is  nice  to  know  the  hard  work  we  put  into  recruitment 
was  successful,"  he  said.  "(The  best  part)  is  seeing  the 
excitement  about  the  positive  direction  things  are  going." 

Tom  Ball,  senior  in  mechanical  engineering,  said  the 
fraternity  used  university- sponsored  activity  fairs  for 
recruitment.  He  also  said  word  of  mouth  helped. 

"It  gives  us  a  lot  more  opportunities,"  Ball  said.  "We  want 
to  stay  a  viable  organization  and  having  the  old  guys  doesn't 
just  give  us  that  much  of  an  opportunity." 


A  higher  number  of  activities  between  actives  and  pledges 
became  a  reality. 

"We  were  able  to  do  more  projects  like  the  flag  football," 
Ball  said.  "If  you  only  had  five  guys,  it  would  make  for  a  pretty 
disappointing  game." 

Anthony  Grabitz,  freshman  in  mechanical  engineering, 
said  the  small  fraternity  fit  him  well  and  allowed  for  greater 
involvement. 

"I  joined  because  they're  a  group  of  people  who  think 
in  a  similar  fashion  as  I  do  —  a  group  of  people  I  can  relate 
to."  Grabitz  said.  "It  is  great  because  it  gives  each  of  us  an 
opportunity  to  be  involved  with  the  group  as  far  as  committee 
positions  go.  It's  kind  of  hard  to  do  that  with  a  large  group." 

Grabitz  said  he  first  heard  about  Triangle  from  a  friend 
and  came  to  like  the  group  and  its  policies. 

"They  want  to  see  us  get  involved  in  something,"  he  said.

AFTER  DRIVING  BACK  TO 

Manhattan,  Mark  Scott 

checks  in  Jake,  a  dog 

Wildcat  Express  picked  up 

in  Wichita.  Wildcat  Express 

traveled  to  different  cities 

and  picked  up  animals 

that  needed  care  and 

took  them  to  the  College 

of  Veterinary  Medicine 

Teaching  Hospital  to 

receive  help.  "It's  different 

working  on  the  animals, 

because  you  don't  get  to 

talk  to  the  owner  face  to 

face,"  Carin  Ramsel,  fourth 

year  student,  said.  "It  is 

more  relaxing  though, 

because  you  know  they'll 

be  therefor  at  least  a 

couple  days."  —  Photo  by

Christopher  Braley,  senior 

in  construction  science

bring  his  bike  down  the 

steps  of  their  house  on 

Denison  Avenue,  Sept.

Holopirek,  senior  in  civil 

engineering,  chose  to 

ride  bikes  rather  than 

stay  home  with  their 

roommate  and  watch 

the  USC  versus  Auburn 

football  game.  "It  was  a 

long  day  of  just  sitting 

around  the  house 

relaxing,"  Eilert  said.  "So 

we  decided  to  get  some 

physical  activity  and  just 

head  around  town  for  a 

bike  ride."  —  Photo  by

Community,  leadership  emphasis  cited  as  top  reasons 
for  living  with  Christian  men,  sharing  faith 


3  AS  an  Icthus  Christian  Fellowship 
house  evolved  to  Lighthouse  for  men  interested  in  building 
and  strengthening  relationships  with  God  and  each  other. 

"It  is  just  a  house  full  of  Christian  guys  who  like  to 
throw  parties,"  Matthew  Lehrman,  junior  in  management 
information  systems,  said.  "It  is  just  a  big,  fun  house  with 
a  lot  of  guys  and  a  great  community  but  not  a  lot  of  formal 
constraints." 

The  14  residents  of  the  Lighthouse  took  part  in  house 
meetings,  spring  formals  and  coffee  houses. 

"We  have  live  music  and  make  coffee  and  baked  goods," 
Isaac  Dennis,  senior  in  history,  said.  "We  usually  have  over 
100  people  come." 

Not  all  members  were  K- State  students.  Some  attended 
Manhattan  Christian  College  or  worked  in  the  community. 

"Basically,  who  lives  here  is  whoever  we  find,"  Dennis  said. 
"We  are  not  popular  enough  that  we  can  be  selective." 

Luke  Bogner,  Lehrman's  roommate  and  senior  in  electrical 
engineering,  was  a  former  member  of  Smith  Scholarship 
House. 

"There  is  more  control  at  a  resident  level,"  Bogner 
said.  "We  do  things  completely  different  from  a  leadership 
standpoint." 

There  were  two  leadership  positions  in  the  Lighthouse. 
The  don  was  the  liaison  between  the  landlady  and  house 
members.  The  chaplain  looked  after  the  spiritual  well-being 
of  members.  The  chaplain  also  became  a  social  chair  who 
planned  events  throughout  the  year. 

"There  are  a  lot  of  things  that  would  be  misunderstood 
about  the  Lighthouse,"  Bogner  said  about  recruiting  new 
members,  "but  it  is  truly  formatted  for  a  very  narrow  market 
with  a  strong  emphasis  on  community." 


WHILE  WAITING  for 

guests  to  show  up  for 

the  coffeehouse,  Luke 

Bogner,  senior  in  electrical 

engineering,  plays  a  guitar 

on  the  second  floor  of  the 

Lighthouse  while  Isaac 

Dennis,  senior  in  history 

and  anthropology,  brews 

coffee.  "The  coffeehouses 

are  my  favorite  house 

function,"  Bogner  said.

Experienced  students  offer  ready-made  lofts  for  hall  residents 


PILES  OF  CUT  WOOD,  ready  for  assembly,  sat  in  a  garage  one  block 
from  campus. 

Boone  Burnside,  senior  in  industrial  engineering,  had  lofty  goals  for 
his  small  business. 

"It's  kind  of  a  little  practice  for  entrepreneurship,"  Burnside  said.  "I'm 
doing  it  again  next  year.  The  money  is  good,  it  provides  a  service  and  I 
meet  people." 

After  building  a  loft  for  his  sister,  Burnside  said  he  realized  the  demand 
for  lofts. 

Burnside  and  friends  built  lofts  for  students  living  in  the  residence 
halls.  Each  loft  cost  $120,  which  included  room  installation. 

"We  started  a  week  before  students  got  here,"  he  said.  "I  had  people 
stopping  in  and  checking  in  on  their  way  into  town." 

Burnside  received  64  loft  orders.  Jeremy  Quint,  sophomore  in  open- 
option  and  a  former  roommate  of  Burnside,  helped  with  construction. 

"I  have  to  give  Boone  all  the  credit  though,"  Quint  said.  "It  was  all 
Boone's  idea  first.  We  learned  about  business  more  than  anything." 

He  said  parents,  especially  fathers,  were  pleased  to  find  lofts  for  sale. 

"Dads  were  just  like  'how  much,'"  he  said.  "Dads  didn't  have  to  bring 
their  tools.  It  was  a  win-win  situation." 

Quint  said  the  lofts  were  a  valuable  asset  for  cramped  rooms  in  the 
residence  halls. 

"We  did  it  last  year  and  saw  how  easy  it  was,"  he  said.  "People  need 
lofts  for  space  in  the  dorms." 

Rebecca  Cornett,  freshman  in  apparel  marketing  and  design,  had  one 
of  Burnside 's  lofts  placed  in  her  room  in  Ford  Hall. 

"You  have  a  lot  more  space,"  Cornett  said.  "You  can  put  your  desk  under 
your  loft.  It's  a  lot  easier  if  you  have  a  lot  of  stuff.  You  have  more  room  for 
a  fridge  and  TV  and  stuff." 

Burnside  said  he  gained  a  bit  of  fame  from  his  business. 

"I  got  kind  of  known,"  he  said.  "People  know  me  as  the  Loft  Guy."

letters  for  Aggie  Station's 

sign.  Knight's  typical  shift 

lasted  from  9:30  p.m.  to 

3  a.m.  "I  want  to  do  my 

part  to  keep  underaged

said.  Without  the  use  of  a

Although  fire  fighters  do  everything  they  can  to  prevent 

burns,  more  than  2.5  million  burn  injuries  occur  in 

North  America  each  year.  Most  could  be  prevented.

Twelve  months  ago  we  started  production  of  the  2003  Royal 
Purple  with  four  goals  in  mind:  to  create  a  simple  but  trendy 
redesign,  to  continue  good  communication  between  staff  members 
and  photogs,  to  create  more  RP  awareness  and  to  have  a  purpose 
in  everything. 

The  first  step  to  accomplish  our  goals  was  hiring  staff.  We  started 
hiring  in  May,  but  didn't  have  a  full  staff  until  July.  By  August,  two 
staffers  had  already  quit.  From  September  to  November  we  lost  five 
more.  By  December  we  hired  three  students  to  constitute  the  staff 
of  15.  After  one  graduated,  we  ended  the  year  with  14. 

Even  though  our  staff  changed  faces  frequently  in  the  first 
semester,  by  December,  we  had  established  a  committed  group 
who  continued  to  improve  the  quality  of  work  and  contribute  to  a 
humorous  and  productive  work  environment.  We  had  a  good  time 
making  friendships  and  participating  in  many  new  RP  activities. 

Beginning  at  retreat,  a  fewkleptos  on  staff  "borrowed"  everything 
from  spoons  and  glasses  to  "Caution:  Wet  Floor"  signs. 

We  had  a  resident  deadline  chicken  —  Stanley —  and  a  deadline 
Ninja.  We  named  our  printer  Perry  so  he  would  like  us  more  to 
print  pages  faster. 

We  sang  "Happy  Birthday"  to  our  favorite  dean  of  student  life. 
We  also  listened  to  and  sang  songs  from  Jaci's  closet  CD,  "Peaches" 
and  grudgingly  listened  to  the  "Rent"  soundtrack  for  a  week  after 
seeing  the  production. 

Over  people  deadline  we  went  ice  skating  at  City  Park  where  we 
performed  in  pair's  competition. 

And  we  ate.  We  had  lunchtime  picnics  under  the  tree  outside 
and  a  candlelight  dinner  in  Kedzie  library.  We  provided  unique 
deadline  candy  for  each  of  our  six  deadlines.  We  ate  Linda's  food,  we 
ate  cookies  from  Jen's  mom,  we  ate  Girl  Scout  cookies;  we  just  ate. 

After  all  the  changes,  it  was  comforting  to  continue  several  RP 
traditions. 

During  retreat  we  danced  on  the  tables  and  sang  at  Joe's  Crab 
Shack  in  Kansas  City,  Mo.  We  carved  pumpkins  for  Halloween.  We 
added  hats  to  our  collection  of  deadline  thinking  caps.  Although  we 
lost  the  annual  RP  versus  Collegian  football  game,  we  dominated 
over  two  basketball  games. 

In  September  and  January  we  married  off  the  2000  and  2002 
Royal  Purple  editors  in  chief,  respectively.  Continuing  the  trend  for 
staffers  to  hook  up,  four  RP-photog  relationships  thrived  despite  the 
stresses  of  many  late  hours  and  pressures  of  working  together. 

It  was  a  long  journey  with  ups  and  downs,  but  we  can  proudly  say 
we've  accomplished  our  goals  and  had  a  lot  of  fun  along  the  way. 

Our  high  for  the  year:  Watching  the  staff  evolve  from  rookies  to 
collegiate  journalists  and  improving  our  work  ethic  and  attitudes 
during  deadlines. 

Our  low:  The  slow  start  —  but  it  worked  out  for  the  best. 

Thank  you  to  all  who  made  it  such  a  productive  year. 

Lindsey  Thorpe  and  Lindsay  Porter

Classes,  activities  and  relationships  marked  transitions  in 
students'  lives. 

Through  seasons  and  academic  improvement,  experi- 
ences strengthened  identities  while  the  collective  face  of  the 
university  remained  constant. 

Students  bonded  during  sporting  events,  club  events  and 
campus  programs  while  striving  to  fulfill  educational  require- 
ments of  courses.  Studies  were  taken  seriously,  but  fun  entered 
the  mix  frequently. 

Aggieville  constantly  provided  entertainment  for  large  or 
small  groups  with  concerts,  contests  and  refreshments. 

When  sponsored  programs  were  not  available,  students 
gathered  for  barbecues,  trips  to  Tuttle  Creek  Reservoir  and 
organized  sports. 

Whatever  impacting  changes  happened  throughout  the 
year,  ordinary  occurrences  built  a  lasting  impression  and 
provided  a  focal  point  for  everyday  life.
