Start Small with New
Year's Resolutions
Several weeks ago I was
having a conversation with my
sister on the phone and be-
tween shar-
ing our
Christmas
lists and talk-
ing about
our lives, we
somehow
ended up
talking about
the flawed
nature of
New Year's
resolutions
We de-
cided that no matter what,
the resolutions wc make as
the ball drops are futile and
doomed from the start.
New Year's resolutions
can express the desire to stop
smoking, lose weight, or be-
come more organized for the
coming school year
No matter what they want
to fix you can tell a lot about a
person from what their resolu-
tions are.
If their resolution involves
participation in more physi-
cal activity, it is easy to assume
they are lazy and just don't
like to get off the couch How-
ever, this is not the end of the
story In addition to their con-
fession of laziness, your friend
also has expressed a desire to
make a change in their life.
It's not necessarily an issue of
what they want to change, it
still shows they are trying to
improve their quality "I living.
No matter how excited
someone is about their reso-
lutions, the sad reality of the
vows is they are doomed to
fail. When is the last time you
actually achieved the goal
you set as the ball dropped 7
The problem is not the peo-
ple making the resolutions but
the resolutions people make
Typically, the established goals
are unrealistic and generally
cannot be accomplished over-
night.
Look at the facts If your
resolution is to go to the gym
and you're not going at all,
chances are good you're not
gumg to start going just be
cause your emotions got the
best of you one night.
If you are tired of the feel
ing you get when you real-
ize you again failed to achieve
your goal, the solution is here.
Start small and set a resolution
that you know you can keep
After 24 years of resolu
tion missteps, my older sis-
ter finally got the right idea
this year with her pledge She
doesn't want to run a mara-
thon or lose twenty pounds;
she simply wants to memo-
rize the words to Billy Joel's
hit song "We Didn't Start the
Fire"
You might read that and
scoff at her lack of drive or
motivation, but look at it from
another angle.
After she can finally re-
cite the words and perform
at karaoke night, the satisfac-
tion from achieving her goal
will be a welcomed change
from the earlier feelings of re-
gret and remorse, I can see her
breathing easier as the chains
that once prevented her from
achieving her dreams fall away
and there is no more weight
on her shoulders
More importantly, she will
have the added confidence to
lake an even bigger step when
(he sparkling wine is popped
next year. She will know that
she has the ability to achieve
her dreams
The moral of the story is
to start small and work your
way up It isn't loo late lo set
some pre-year goals, so if you
start in 200o. you will be able
to climb Mount Everest in the
year 2068. Good Luck.

Students share personal experiences to earn grades, battle procrastination
CORENE
BRISENDINE
It's time to return to class,
see old friends, make new ones
and spend hours upon hours
studying - or
perhaps not.
To help
students stay
focused and
avoid the pit-
falls of mid-
night cram-
ming ses-
sions, here
axe ten tips to
help achieve
good grades "
this semester
TREAT YOUR BRAIN
The brain is a muscle, even
though most people don't think
of it as one. Your body produc-
es specific measurable enzymes
when you are tired, dehydrat-
ed, or malnourished Studying
gives your cranial muscle quite
a workout and, it needs plenty
of rest Getting eight hours of
sleep every night helps maintain
your cognitive thinking power-
house and prepares it for anoth-
er day of exercise.
You also need to feed your
brain Breakfast jump-starts
your metabolism and awakens
those synaptic pathways first
Oiing in the morning. A bowl
of cereal makes an inexpen-
sive, quick meal anytime, but
don't forget about it early in the
morning.
ORGANIZING NOTES
Most students take notes
during lectures, but they neglect
to re copy or organize them lat-
er By taking a few minutes after
class to organize your notes, it
will help you understand what
yuu have written, and you might
jl so remember a lew important
points you missed while frantic
ly scribbling. When you review
them for the exam, your notes
will be a useful study guide, not
incoherent hen scratches on pa-
per
Making or using flash cards
is a great way to study formu-
las, important dates, names and
events You can purchase flash -
cards for foreign language, his-
tory, philosophy, medical termi
oology, math and many other
subjects.
Online. Waldenbooks
cam offers the largest selection
with more than 3,000 differ-
ent types of flashcards flash
cardexchangecam offers flash-
cards created by other people
and tools to create your own
online
Don't limit your flashcard
library to just what you can pur-
chase - make your own. Index
cards are inexpensive and while
you organize those notes, write
the key points, names, dates and
events on an index card
Another great way to gain
er information during a lecture
is to record it, but always get
your professor's permission be
fore recording any lecture Re-
cording the lecture makes it eas-
ier to make those flashcards be
cause you can pause or rewind
it to catch every detail
EXERCISE
While exercising your
brain, don't forget to exercise
your body. Exercising increas-
es blood flow to your brain and
maintains your cardiovascular
system Increased blood How
means increased oxygen to your
brain and allows you to study
more without getting tired Per-
forming a cardiovascular work
out - like walking, running or
cycling - for 15 to 30 minutes
every day gives your mind and
body the ability to handle the
stress of college life
While working out, instead
of listening to music, throw on
that recorded lecture or notes
you dictated to keep you study
ing without staring at a book.
IMPROVING STUDY HABITS
Study groups provide a way
not only to visit with friends but
also to gather information you
might have missed If you didn't
understand some portion of the
lecture, perhaps one of your fel-
low students did
If you are unable to find a
study group or organize one, tu
toring is a great option The Ac-
ademic Assistance Center in
201 Leisure Hall provides free
tutoring to all K State students.
The Educational Supportive
Services, located at 201 Hullon
Hall, also provides free tutor-
ing to qualifying applicants You
can also ask your professors for
tutors within their departments.
Study for short periods of
time Study one subject for 15
to 20 minutes, and then switch
subjects.
Once you complete your
studying tools, organized notes,
flashcards. dictation tapes,
spend time every day studying
each subject. While eating, re-
view your notes While watch-
ing an episode of your favorite
nightly show, mute those an

Kristinu Schnen. a sopho-
more in modern languages, said
she studies right before bed
She said she has no other dis
tractions before sleep, which
gives her brain the time needed
to process the information she
teamed that day.
Garett Koop, a doctor at
Aligned Roup Chiropractic in
Manhattan said. "While spend-
ing hours hunched over a desk
trying to retain all the informa-
tion, make sure you spend time
working on posture. Stand up
straight every half hour, roll
your shoulders back and stretch
all your neck muscles This will
help relieve the stress in your
neck and shoulders and help

Procrastination is a
common battle in my life
that has only gotten worse
since I en-
tered my
last year
of college
"Col
lege peo-
ple are
busy with
jobs,
classes
and oth-
er respon-
sibilities.
Find a
balance Graduation is the
ultimate goal," said
Rachael Robinson -Keiling.
counseling services psychol-
ogy intern.
'Procrastination feeds
on itself until it becomes the
big elephant in the room.
she said. "Use time manage
ment and map out your se-
mester and time. Look at
pre-planning"
She said procrastina-
tion is not just about lazi-
ness. Some people fear not
doing well, or they think
they will never get to the
end so they don't start. In
my personal case, I want
things to be perfect but I
don't know where to start.
Drew Dobbeleare, M
nior in park management
and conservation, said he
procrastinates on an every
day basis out of habit and
perfectionism
"I don't know how to
get an assignment started so
I wait for hours on end and
then get it done." he said
"If an assignment is due in a
week or so I'll wait until the
day before to do it. More in-
teresting stuff pups up and
I do that and eventually get
around to getting everything
done I hate to admit it, but
there was one assignment I
didn't gel done because of
procrastination"
To avoid procrastina-
tion this semester. Dobbe-
leare said if he has a month
to do an assignment he is
going to do it within the
first two weeks and then
have free time
My advice on avoiding
procrastination is to join a
study group or get a tutor
This makes you accountable
for your work Write a to-do
list - but keep it short and
simple 1 write long lists and
then feel overwhelmed
"Long lists seem in
surmountable and make
you think, 'Why am I go-
ing to even start 7 ' Focus on
a small part of the list not
the whole thing," Robinson-
Ketlingsaid
Whitney Slot Is, sopho-
more in social science and
international studies, said
she procrastinates if she has
significant time before an
assignment ur task is due.
Stotts said the main rea-
son she procrastinates is be-
cause of other priorities
"I think there is more
important things like
friends." she said. "You only
live so long so you have to
take those moments."
To stay on lop of her
school work she said: "I get
into the habit in the begin-
ning and then I can slack
more at the end of the se-
mester 1 just gel it done or
split it up throughout the
week."
In Overcoming tto
crastination by Neil Fiore,
he explains guilt-free play
will lead to quality work. In
the book. Fiore said work-
aholics and procrastinators
need to stop putting off life
and reap in the benefits of
play
i p li lit -free play is
based on the seeming para-
dox that in order to do pro-
ductive, high-quality work
on important projects, you
must stop putting off living
and engage wholehearted-
ly in recreation and relax-
ation," according to Fiore's
book
To have guilt -free play,
he suggests that you work
for short periods of time
and give yourself rewards
more frequently
Piore explains how to
overcome procrastination
by using what he calls the
unschedule: a weekly cat
endar of planned exercise,
chores, sleep, meals, class-
es, appointments and other
important events. This un-
schedule allows you to re-
alize the small amount of
time you have tu actual-
ly work on projects, so you
will start earlier.

K-State Proud continues
campaign to help students
By Nicole Johnston
KANSAS RJtll O0U&3AM
The K State Proud cam-
paign is back for the second
noond of inspiring students,
hoping to leave their legacy at
K State and show their pride
ihrough philanthropy
"Each day on campus, you
are likely to come across at least
one student wearing a black T-
shirt bearing the words K State
Proud," said Molly Hainm. stu
dent foundation member and
senior in English "Yet, in the
past year this shin has done
much more than announce
wildcat pride."
Though many students pur-
chased the shirts for the home
basketball game against the
University of Kansas last sea-
son, Hamm said the shirt has
mure meaning
All donations for the Proud
campaign fund the Student Op
portunity Awards The inaugu
ral campaign raised more than
$62,000. creating two types of
awards K-Slatc Hero awards
and K -State Proud awards
"This year, K-State Proud is
back, but not in black," Hamm
said "The K-Stale Proud stu-
dent campaign saw the over-
whelming response of students
interested in helping students
and is continuing in its second
year to raise funds for Student
Opportunity Awards"
The 2008 co-chairs Megan
Dwyer, junior in history, and
Cole Galyon, junior in busi-
ness administration, are lead-
ing a campus advisory board of
30 student leaders, along with
members of Student Founda-
tion, to plan this year's student
campaign
"K-State Proud is a way
for our campus community to
come together and raise funds
for our fellow students through
Student Opportunity Awards,"
Dwyer said. "All contributions
are improving, and will contin-
ue to improve, the lives of many
K Stale students When you see
a K-State Proud shirt on cam-
pus, vmi know that person be-
lieves in the K- State family
During the week of Feb
18-22. students can make dona-

Online listings receive positive feedback from students, Varney's
By Adrlann* DeWeeie
KANSAS STATU OLLfil.IAN
The university's offi-
cial bookstore's online text-
book listing went well during
its first full semester in op
l' rut in n. said one bookstore
manager
"We didn't have any-
body complain about it, and
I think the students like to
have the information at their
fingertips," said Steve Levin,
K-Slale Student Union Book
store manager "It's hard to
say sales- wise what we did
We were slightly down, but
we think that might have had
more about the parking than
anything."
Since 2001, Varney's has
leased its locations in the
K State Student Union and
Aggieville to K-State. mak-
ing it the university's official
bookstore, according to an

VARNEY'S ONLINE TEXT-
BOOK LISTING
K State faculty members
were asked to report their
spring semester textbook in
formation by Oct. 12, 2007,
Levin said
"You have good years
and bad years," Levin said
"This would be probably one
of the slower reporting sea-
sons that we've had
"We always want to be
able to have the information
from the professors as soon
as we can That's always our
goal. But as far as posting
it, we always try to have the
most accurate information
on the site as we can."
The textbook lists are
available through www.ks-
su book store com and www.
shopvarneys.com Tex t boo k
titles, authors. International
Standard Book Numbers and
book editions are provided
through listings of academ-
ic departments, section num-
bers and specific K Slate in-
structors.
"When we put stuff into
our internal systems, we just
put it on our Web site, so it's
really not a complex thing,"
Levin said about the online
posting process "It's just try-
ing to verify that what we
have is correct "
Varney's and the Union
Bookstore employ a 30-
pcrson textbook staff. Ten
people actively accumulate
and verify textbook infor-
mation with K- State faculty
members, as well as order the
books and provide the lists
online, Levin said
Three information tech-
nology specialists also help
with Varney's Web sites.
Ltvis said
Varney's spends about
$200,000 a year in develop
ing its book lists, according
to an Aug 18. 2007. Colle-
gian article.
Cost Factors include em
ployee salaries. comput
er software and follow-up
with K State faculty, said Jeff
Levin, Varney's co-owner, in
the Aug. 18 article
hi! Levin also said in
the article that the new
textbook listing's cost is min-
imal because the bookstore
already has its distance-

CLAFLIN BOOKS
AND COPIES
Clafl in Books and Cop-
ies, an independently owned
bookstore on Claflin Road,
also provides textbooks for

Books and Copies co-own-
er, said the store has provid
ed textbooks for about eight
years and works with the
College of Arts and Scienc
es academic departments and
ihe School of Family Studies
and Human Services.
Unlike Varney's and
the Union Bookstore. Claf-
lin Books and Copies does
not have a specific textbook
deadline for faculty mem-
bers
"There is no deadline be
cause we know that some-
times things get shifted
around in the department and
that sometimes they might
have emergencies." Kennedy
said
Claflin Books docs not
employ a separate textbook
support staff, Kennedy said
She also said the bookstore
does not have an online text-
book listing and does not
plan to include one in the
near future
"We're going to keep it
mostly in store and in large
part it's because we want the
students to come in and get
to know us." she said
TEXTBOOK COSTS
Publishers calculate Var-
ney's textbook prices, Steve
Levin said.
"The book is priced by
the publisher, and we can
price it lower, whieh we do."
he said.
Textbooks found at low
er prices on the Internet usu-
ally are older edition books.
Levin said
"We might have books
that we no longer use on this
campus, and we can sell them
to wholesalers tor maybe
$10, so we'll post them on
the Internet for sale for $15
because we'll make more
money." Levin said, "and
then students at other uni-
versities will buy them from
us. Thai's really how students
are finding deals is that
most of the books are from
bookstores selling books they
can't sell on their own cam
pus."
At Claflin Books, Kenne-
dy said vendors and publish-
ers also set the bookstore's
textbook prices.
"On the buyback, if the
professor is going to be us-
ing the textbook Ihe follow-
ing semester then we can of
fer more than what the used
book vendors offer." Kennedy
said.
"Otherwise, we work
with three used textbook
vendors, and we try to give
the highest price of the three

Parking garage construction on schedule

The semblance of a parking
garage is starting to lake form
south of the K-State Student
Union after several months of
construction.
"The garage construction is
moving right along," said Gary
Leitnaker, assistant vice presi-
dent of human resources and
parking. "You will see a differ-

weather days, and he said they
are close to being on schedule.
The garage should be complet-
ed this December and open to
drivers in January 2009
Because of the loss of the
parking spaces in front of the
Union, four shuttles have been
busing students to and from the
Union and Peters Recreation
Complex. The shuttles spend 10
minutes at each location wait-
ing on passengers before mak
ing its commute.
Hie shuttles were n-ry will
received and utilized," Leitnaker
said. "Seven hundred and fifty
people a day have been riding
the shuttles"
These students ride the shut
ties for classes, work ur visiting
someone on campus.
"1 ride the shuttle pretty
much every day," Selh Gordon,
senior in finance, said " If I have
to go to school later or to the li
brary 1 park on a side street "
He said sometimes the shut-
tle caused problems because he
had an 8 05 a.m. class and the
shuttle did not start until later in
the day Krystin Matuszewtcz.
sophomore in biology, said she
shares the same frustration She
was sometimes late to class be-
cause of the inconsistency of
when shuttles come and go.
because of the traffic level on
campus
Matuszcwicz said she ndes
the shuttle three days a week
and finds ii convenient because
she works in the Union.
"Some shuttle drivers make
conversation and make your
day a little better," she said.
"They interact with the students
taking their minds off every-
thing else"
Leitnaker said anyone can
ride the shuttles but to park on
K-State property, a valid park-
ing permit is required. Students
can purchase a permit for the
spring semester for $65 in Ed-
wards Hall. A schedule of shut
lie departure times is available

Two partying singles make
eye contact across the bar and
find themselves wandering
over to introduce themselves,
immediately making a con-
nection The following morn-
ing they wake up with no
clue as to who the oth/r one
is, wondering what happened
the night before
There are alternatives to
finding a date like this in Ag-
gieville or at parties.
When searching for that
special someone worthy of a
trip home to meet the parents,
look in honor groups, clubs,
work or church, said Erica
Winter, K-State alumna and
newlywed
Erica said she met her hus-
band, Zach Winter, K-State
alumnus, in the honor group
Phi Eta Sigma She said they
first were introduced at the
annual Up Til Dawn philan
thropy event, but she didn't
even remember his name
However. Erica was invited to
a barbecue at his house where
they connected. They started
out as friends attending Bible
study and club events together
and the rest, Erica said, is his-
tory.
Man a Mai, sophomore in
elementary education, said
students should look for a
date in their major, classes,
residence hall or job. Mai met
her fiance, Bud Laude. senior
in art education, while work-
ing at Derby Dining Center
and they now have been to-
gether for seven months
"Get to know them first
before you jump into a rela-
tionship," Mai said. "I think
that helps."
Where students look for
a date also depends on what
type of relationship they are
interested in. Erica said
"You shouldn't really look
for a date; when you stop
looking and have faith. God
will bring someone into your
life when you are ready," she
said. "Bui if you just want
someone to hang out with,
it depends on what kind of
person you are looking for If
it is wild and crazy, go to the
bars."
[onathan Frazzell, senior in
English, said he has met dates
at the bars in Aggieville.
"I don't always expect to
find a girl - but it happens,"
he said
Frazzell also said it is pos-
sible to meet people at the
bars to share long-term rela-
tionships with.
")ust about everybody goes
to the bars, so you're going to
meet any kind of person."
Winter also said she dated
someone she met at the bars
in Aggieville They dated for a
little more than a month, she
said, and though they were
physically attracted, they were
not mentally compatible.
Online dating is another
way to meet partners outside
of Aggieville, but Winter, Mai
and Frazzell said they prefer
alternative methods of finding
relationships
"I have friends who do on-
line dating," Erica said. "They
have found people, but none
are married i think it's creepy,
but it depends on your person-
ality and if you believe in it."
The important thing to re-
member. Winter said, is that
if students are unhappy and
lonely with their lives, rela-
tionships are not the best fix,
"Remember girls: girl-
friends always come before
boys." she said
Zach's advice to girls is not
to smother their dales. Guys
need time to spend with bud-
dies and play video games
Erica also said it is im-
portant to keep in mind the
image of what students want
their match to be.
"Just remember when you
arc out looking for a date," she
said, "Do what is in your per-
sonality"

Buddies program gives students chance to connect internationally
By Katie Stance
KANSAS STATE COLLEGIAN
There is a new way to
get involved on campus that
gives students the chance to
learn a new language, expe-
rience a foreign culture, open
their minds to new ideas and
make friends at the same
lime
K-Stale's International
Buddies program pairs inter-
national students with more
traditional students The
pairs meet once a week to eat
lunch, go bowling, attend a
spurting event or do whatev-
er interests them. Though the
main focus of the program is
to have fun. there also is an
educational purpose
International students
can increase their knowl
edge of the English language
by communicating regularly
with their local buddy while
domestic students can learn
about life in a different cul-
ture.
The program began in fall
2007 and membership is con-
stantly increasing, said Claire
Hemmendinger, senior in ho-
tel and restaurant manage-
ment and co leader of Inter
national Buddies with Holly
Campbell.
I decided to lead the
program because I saw the
interest from domestic stu-
dents to meet internation-
al students, and 1 wanted to
help the international stu-
dents with their transition
to Manhattan and K-State,"
Hemmendinger said.
She said there are about
J70 people enrolled at this
time Those 370 people are
not only students
it's a community-wide
program," Hemmendinger
said "We even pair interna-
tional students' spouses with
people of the same age in the
community"
Internationa) Buddies is
a free program; the only re-
quirements are that members
spend one hour per week
with their buddy and com-
mit to one semester of mem-
bership. There is no age lim-
it, and people can be paired
even if they know only one
language.
fan Bayer, a student from
Czech Republic majoring in
mechanical engineering, said
he joined Internationa] Bud-
dies to get to know Ameri-
cans, make friends and sim-
ply for curiosity's sake Bayer
said he has been in this kind
of program before and find-
ing activities both people en-
joy can be tough, but he said
he believes International
Buddies is a great idea none-
theless
Adam Tank, a Kansas
native and sophomore in mi-
crobiology and pre med, said
the decision to join was a no-
bra iner.
He said he thinks this is
a good opportunity for stu-
dents to expand their hori-
zons
"1 would like to hope-
fully make a life-long friend,
and I want to learn some of

Campus groups help students find
similar interests outside of classes

By Carly Harmon
KANSAS STATE COLLEGIAN
Joining a club on campus
could be an easy solution for
students tired of trying to so-
cialize in classes or crowded
bars
K-Slate has 428 registered
organizations covering a vari
ety of interests.
Whether you want to
meet people who enjoy play-
ing dodge ball or are inter-
ested in finding friends with
similar faith. K-State campus
organizations exist to turn col
lege into a memorable experi-
ence
For M egan Leonard, sen ior
in bakery science and manage
menl. joining the Bakery Sci-
ence Club initially was a way
to meet upperclassmen and be
involved with something out-
side of class pertaining to her
major.
She is now president of
the BSC and will represent
K-State at the American Soci-
ety of Baker's Convention in
Chicago
"Being part of this club,
I have gained a lot of expe-
rience on equipment, more
knowledge about baking and
how to prioritize between club
and homework." Leonard said.
"I've been able to network
with people that are in the in-
dustry as well."
She said she has made life-
long friends through the BSC
and also has enjoyed tasly ben
ehts
The BSC club meets every
Tuesday nighl in Shellenberg-
er Hall Baking Lab where they
spend all night baking prod-
ucts for the following week's
bake sale which takes place on
Wednesdays from 3-5 p.m
Sean Jones, vice president
of the Snow Ski and Snow-
board club and senior in elec-
tric engineering, said he alto
liked the idea of joining an or-
ganization when he first start-
ed college.
"At the time, I didn't know
very many other people who
had skied before, so 1 wanted
to meet others similar to my-
self," Jones said.
Since his freshman year.
Sean has traveled with the
Snow Ski and Snowboard club
to Breckenridge, Crested Butte,
Aspen/Snowmass and Tellu
ride, along with thousands of
other college students from all
over the country
[ones said after each day
on the slopes, club members
spent the night relaxing in
million-dollar condos —
He also said the club tries
to make it possible for small
er trips by getting discount lid
tickets.
For those that think the
club is for advanced skiers and
boarders, that is definitely not
the case, The majority of oui
members are fairly new to skii
ing and snowboarding and are
interested in just having the
opportunity to try something
new." Jones said.
If there still isn't a group
that fits an interest or hobby,
students can start their own,
said Bill Harlan, assistant co-
ordinator for student activities
and services.
He said registered organi-
zations need at least five stu-
dent members - with at least
50 percent of total member-
ship being students - a full
lime faculty or staff person
to serve as the advisor of the
group, a completed registra
lion form and a constitution
for the organization.
All groups must attend a
registration meeting and have
a one-on-one meeting with a
staff member to finish the pro-
MM
It usually takes one week
to get a club started, Harlan
said.
"1 think the best part
about being involved in a club
is making contact with other
students and staff at K-State,"
Harlan said. "Your college ex-
perience can be pretty imper-
sonal if all you do is at-
tend class Getting involved
in organizations lets you have
the chance to meet people
outside of the classroom who
have similar interests as you*

Short
Student
known
for his
resolve
ByRyneWitt
KANSAS STA If COUfcGtAN
Lucas Short didn't have
to come back to school af-
ter being paralyzed from the
chest down
in 2006, but
he was not
one to give
up
So he
returned to
K-State dur-
ing the fall
2007 semes-
ter. He was
trying to
iive a normal life again, but
before the junior in electron-
ic engineering could start this
2008 spring semester, he died
on }an, 10 from lung compli-
cations,
The 21 -year-old's chron-
ic lung problems were from
a diving accident at Tuttle
Creek Lake that left him with
the spinal-cord injury in Sep-
tember 2006.
Short skipped the 2006
school year before coming
back His return sent a mes-
sage to people who knew
him
"His message was to nev-
er give up," said Ruth Mill-
er, his adviser and profes-
sor within the Department of
Electrical and Computer En-
gineering. "He wasn't going
to wait."
Short was determined
to accomplish his goals,
said Brett Beier, Short's fel-
low Phi Kappa Theta frater-
nity member "He was one
of the most determined in
dividuals that I know"

Possible
currency
collection
found
By Owen Kennedy
KANSAS SIATfc UlLLfcliiAN
The Riley County Police
Department discovered a large
amount of collectible coins and
paper currency (an. 4. which
might have been stolen from a
private collection.
HCPD Capt Tim Hegarty
said the currency was found in
a building in central Manhat-
tan but declined to comment
on how much it was worth. He
said he did not want to say what
kinds of coins were in the col-
lection, because if a person is
missing such a collection, they
already would know what is in
it
"They should be able to
identify what was in and what
the collection was comprised
of," Hegarty said. "The contain-
er it was in and the way it was
stored leads us to believe it was
someone's collection."
Police do not know if the
coins and paper currency were
stolen from the location at
which they were found, or if
they were even stolen in Man-
hattan, Hegarty said.
There have been no bur-
glary reports matching the prop-
erty found earlier this year, and
Hegarty said there were no ar
rests in connection to the recov-
ery
"If it was a result of a bur-
glary, we don't have any sus-
pects," he said.
Anyone with information
regarding the recovered proper-
ly should contact the RCPD at
785 537 2112.

After the storm
City to clean up debris for next several weeks
By Corene Br isertdins
KANSAS STATE C01.lfl.IAN
The city began the long
process of cleaning up the
debris from the recent ice
storm that look out elec-
tricity, downed trees and
caused chaos during fall
semester's finals week and
winter break
Jeff Walters, Pub-
lic Works Superintendent,
said all went well the first
day of clean-up The city
of Manhattan started pick-
ing up limbs and brush on
the northeast side of town
They estimate the clean-up
will take four to six weeks
barring any further inter-
ruptions by the weather.
The only problem Wal-
ters perceives is not gath-
ering all the debris be
cause people might not
know when or where the
city workers will be dur-
ing the clean-up He said
the residents need to make
sure they stay abreast of the
pickup The city Web site,
www.ci.manhattan.ks.us,
will have daily updates on
where the crews will be and
where they plan to be the
following day.
Residents and business-
es unwilling to wait, or who
missed the city pick up, can
take limbs and brush to the
Riley County Transfer Sta-
tion located at 1881 Hen-
ton Road The Transfer Sta-
tion is open from 7 am to 5
p in.. Monday through Sat-
urday. Residents can depos-
it brush and limbs free of
charge, but businesses nor-
mally pay $3 per ion. Gary
Rosewicz, assistant coun-
ty engineer, said the fee for
businesses will be suspend-
ed until Jan. 31 in support
of the clean up.
Rosewicz also said
business has increased no-
ticeably but not as much as
they had anticipated. They
receive between 100 to 200
loads per day and expect
that to remain the same
through spring when peo-
ple begin preparing for the
growing season.

ment intern for city hall, is

Hollywood actor's father a leading professor, researcher at K-State
By Adrlanne DeWeese
KANSASSTAIM Oil H.IAN
A Google search of lames
Marsden reveals an actor who
appeared in recent movies
like "Hairspray," "Enchanu-d
and "27 Dresses."
But add "Kansas State
University" to the search and
a biography of Regents Dis-
tinguished Professor of ani-
mal sciences comes up
James Marsden, father of
the actor, came to K Stale in
December 1994 with 100 per
cent research appointment
The Regents professorship is
the most prestigious of all ac-
ademic appointments in the
Kansas Regents' system of
universities and colleges
A MOVIE-STAR SON
Marsden said he remem-
bers the first time he knew
his son would become a mov-
ie star. At age 16, the future
actor James Marsden and his
family took a vacation to Ha
wait. The boy introduced him-
self to "Full House" cast mem
bers, who were filming an ep
isode of the TV show.
"I went down to the pool
one day to get him, and he
was laying on a lounge chair,
and he had his sunglasses and
was twirling them," Mars-
den said about his son "He
had this total circle of young
girls around him in his chair.
just hanging on every wurd
he had to say. I knew he had
something then"
Marsden said he enjoys
attending his son's Hollywood
movie premieres and has at-
tended almost every premiere.
He also said he is impressed
al his son's versatility in act-
ing roles.
"His range surprises
me sometimes, and I like to
see that," Marsden said lis
more fun to see him on the
big screen than it is on the
television just simply because
it's a big screen - there he is "
MEAT-SAFETY EXPERT
Marsden, who special-
izes in meal safety, came lo
K-State for specific research
with E. coli. He said he im-
mediately got involved with
research projects related to
pasteurization technologies
that would minimize the risk
of the E. coli pathogen
"We have developed so
many technologies now thai
are being used by the indus-
try." he said. "Steam pasteur-
ization of carcasses was vali-
dated here at K-State. Steam
cleaning carcasses with a lit-
tle hand-held steam-cleaning
device was developed here.
Technologies that rely on ul-
traviolet light for decontam-
inating the surface of meal
products - that was devel

oped here A whole list of
technologies were either de-
veloped or validated here al
the university over the past 1 5
years"
Before Marsden's K-State
appointment in 1994, most
food -safety research used sur-
rogate organisms, he said.
"The work wasn't real-
ly done with the real patho-
gens," Marsden said It was
done with bacteria that aren't
harmful bul behave similarly
lo the pathogen We changed
all of that here; we worked
right from Ihe start"
K-Slale researchers went
into hiocontainment type
laboratories and pilot plants
where they inoculated meal
wilh harmful bacteria The
experiments and research in-
creased the understanding of
pathogens and iheir control,
he said
"Really, up until that
point, most of the consumer
groups who were very pow-
erful in food safety were op-
posed to most food -safety

City funds additional
downtown developments
By Brandon Stein«rt
M»SAiSt»HtOlL[6W»
An ordinance to amend
a Manhattan marketplace
was approved by city com-
missioners Tuesday night.
The ordinance will al-
low Dial Realty to devel
op the area north of Osage
Street, west of Tuttle Creek
Boulevard, south of Moro
Street and cast of North
Fourth Street, according to
the agenda.
The ordinance passed
3-2. Commissioners Bob
Strawn and James Shcrow
were opposed
Commissioners also
unanimously authorized an
agreement with Dial Real-
ly to build future residential
units in the same area
Twenty million dollars
will be issued to Dial Realty
in revenue bonds to acquire
the land in the South Project
area.
Strawn said he was con
cerned the city would not
gain some of the franchises
Dial Realty was promising
Dial realty partner Rich
ard Kiolbasa told commis-
sioners that a Hilton Gar-
den Inn would be one of the
franchises constructed in the
South Project area. Strawn
used the inn as an example.
"There's nothing in this
agreement that says we're
going to get a Hilton Gar
den Inn." Strawn said
Assistant City Manager
Jason Hilgcrs said Dial Re
alty has to own the project
area before a specific fran-
chise can be secured, which
is why no franchise was
guaranteed.
He also told the com-
missioners the agreement
is very strict about building
materials and the quality of
the developments.
After a lengthy period of
questioning, the ordinance
passed unanimously
A real estate contract
between the city and Dial
Realty was approved unan
imously to help Dial Real-
ty purchase the remaining
properties in the south rede-
velopment area.

Asking for ID

Requiring voters to show
identification not a burden

In the first major cast be

tooth and nail against an
Indiana law requiring vol

Oral arguments (or this cast-
began Ian 9.
A posting on the Democrat
ic Party Web site declared opposi
tion to the law based on its ability
to disenfranchise "real voters - se-
niors, students, veterans, minorities
and low-income families."
Chairman of the Democrat a I 'arty, How
ard Dean, was quoted in the posting as say-
ing. "Undemocratic voter ID laws are just
another part of a broad Republican effort to
undermine our fundamental right to vote
We will not let Republicans
al another election "
Always quick to
shoot off his mouth
without the facts,
Dean should re -ex-
amine the results
from the 2006 Elec-
tion in the slate of
Indiana. While the
law was in effect, ac
cording to voting re-
sults posted on CNN
com. three incumbent
Republicans lost their
congressional seats
which gave Democrats
five of nine House seats

Primary Election, the slate was to make the
public aware of the new law through "a com
bination of mass marketing, direct marketing,
in person training and strategic part-
nerships"
The state of Indiana's message was
clear: "Go (to) the polls; bring pho
to ID, vote with confidence" Some-
how these simple instructions - which
are in no way a burden to the Ameri-
can voter, caused attorney Paul Smith
- representing the challengers, to say
during oral arguments as reported by
USA Today on Jan «, "This is the most
strict law in the country"
As reported by USA Today. During
oral arguments Indiana Solicitor Gen-
eral Thomas Pisher said, "I think its also ter-
ribly significant that we don't have anybody
in front of this court ... who's injured by this
law"
The Indiana League of Woman Voters
had one woman parading around for opposi-
tion to the Indiana ID law, but according to
the Fort Wayne Daily News, on Jan. 9. Faye
Buis-Ewing was dropped by the 1LWV in their
cause Ewing claimed to be a 50-year resident
of Indiana, even though she and her husband
spend winters at their own property in Flori-
da.
In the days before oral arguments, it
was discovered Ewing had become a regis-
tered voter in Florida on Sept 18, 2002. Daily
News stated, Ewing "signed an oath that she
was a Florida resident and understood that
falsifying the voter application was a third-de-
gree felony punishable by prison and a fine up
to $5,000"
Being registered to vote in Indiana and
Florida makes Ewing a potential felon.
A decision in this case will be rendered
by the Supreme Court during the summer
months, which will affect all citizens of the
United States; however, let's be realistic.
Citizens of this country are asked to pres-
ent ID every day across the country. We are
asked when we use a credit card, purchase al-
cohol or tobacco, when pulled over by the po-
lice or even applying for a job. Asking for an
ID is not a burden Asking voters to pay a poll
tax disenfranchises them - asking for an ID

TO THE POINT
Residents should help to clean up winter weather debris
Manhattan is still digging
itself out of the debris from
the ice storm that almost par
alyzed the city WIMWNTlia n
late last year.
When stu-
dents returned
to Manhat-
tan from their
holiday break,
many limbs and pieces of de-
bris were here to greet them,
The city of Manhattan and
the cleaning crews arc doing
editorial selected
and debated by
the editorial board
and written after a
majority opinion is
formed This is the
Collegian's official
opinion
everything they can to clean
up the city, but they need the
help of Manhattan residents
and students
If limbs are still in near-
by yards, help out by mov
ing the debris, to the curb so
the crews do not have lo go
into individual yards to gath
er every limb If students have
a fireplace, they should keep
some of the larger limbs for
firewood
After the ice storm, the
weather warmed up for a cou-
ple days, but it looks like win-
ter moved back to Manhat-
tan along with everyone else
As the weather worsens, the
city's capabilities will slow, es-
pecially with poor road condi-
tions and low temperatures.
Residents and students
should let the season of giving
extend to this month by vol-
unteering to help out with the
clean- up The crews do not
have enough staff to clean up
at the desired rate, and this
will continue as the weather
gets colder.
These efforts will take time
and will require help from all
concerned Manhattan resi
dents. The debris will not dis-
appear on its own, and it is
time to get Manhattan back
to the way it was before the
storm.
Anyone interested in volun-
teering should call the city at

Senior student offers advice for successful college experience
Here it is: my last first column of my
last semester at K State Thousands have
been in my place - like my mother and my
aunts and uncles - and thousands will come
after me - like my cousins and my brother
But when a person is about to graduate, it
is hard to trunk their experience is anything
but their own Whal I have learned dur
ing my seven semesters at K Stale will slay
with me forever Some of the tilings I have
learned 1 wanted to pass on to those who
still have time lo spend here Hopefully you
can leant from my experiences as you create
your own.
First, thou shall not buy books at Vamey's un-
til shopping online first. Admittedly, Vamey's has
stepped up to the plate and provided a book list for
most classes on their Web site, but look around on
Web sites like Amazon com and Half com before buy
ing books al Vamey's
You are now responsible for your own finances,
and this means you must make the best choices with
your money. From textbooks lo loan- < l>>n
ger comes down to the allowance your mother gave
you every week
This brings me to my second tip: thou shall not
go overboard on student loans, lust because loans are
offered to you by the Office of Student Financial As
sistance doesn't mean you have to take them Get a
part-time job to pay for living expenses It's more im-
portant to be better off than to "live the life" while in
college.
Third, being a poor college student is an ex-
perience everyone needs to live through, bul being
an overexposed college student isn'l something you

should do thou shall not have discriminat-
ing pictures of thyself on liicebookcom ;md

ing for your first full time job, employers
could search on l-uchouk and Goagte.com

OEM who is thinking about hiring
you fur a job. Google yourself See
what you can find, and do what is
possible to make the best digital
impression you on
Memories and whal you do with your
life make you into the person you are, which
brings me to my fourth and final point thou
shalt not forget about your childhood friends
It is a fact of life thai people grow up and go
their separate ways. However, the girl who

It might sound corny, but one of the most impor-
tant parts of college thai shaped me into who I will

FROM THE EDITOR
Campus coverage,
multimedia to be top
priorities for spring
JONATHAN
GARTEN
At the beginning of my
Collegian career, it didn't
seem very likely that I'd wind
up one day
being the ed-
itor-in-chief
I didn't
exactly shoot
up the ranks
of the Col
legian staff
right away
Our staff had
a surplus of
sports writ-
ers covering -
most of the
high profile sports - I was as-
signed to cover women's ten-
nis for two semesters.
However, I didn't mind. I
took the opportunity very se-
riously. 1 went to practice ev-
ery week, watched as many
as 10 hours of K State worn
en's tennis matches per week,
and I even dressed up - if you
consider wearing a polo shirt
dressing up
The point is, I took it
seriously I might not have
known much about women's
tennis in the beginning, but t
wanted to do everything pos-
sible to absorb as much in-
formation about the sport as
f could because that was my
job 1 did more than the bare
minimum. I went the extra
mile
Now that f am the edi-
tor-in-chief, I plan to do the
same thing I realize the dif-
ficulty of this job, but 1 know
that working hard won't be a
problem
I have already filled posi
lions with the paper as sports
editor during spring 2007
and managing editor during
fall 2007 One thing I learned
was that the Collegian has a
way of sucking you in, and in
some cases, taking over your
life For my sanity's sake, I re
aliie there will be times when
I need to pull myself away
from the Collegian to catch
my breath and clear my head.
If there are times that I
need to take a break for a few
hours, I feel confident that
the staff I've assembled will
be more than capable of run-
ning the newsroom without
me. One quality that I know
they all possess is the ability
to do a little extra when it's
needed
This semester, we plan to
continue to provide students
with as much K-State cover-
age as possible If there's any-
thing important happening
on our campus, we want to be
the first to cover it
We would also like to
continue improving our Web
site and our multimedia cov-
erage We hope to have more
blogs, videos and breaking
news to post on kstatecotte-
gian.com
However, we are always
looking for suggestions from
our readers Since we are
the students' newspaper, we
want to provide the best cov-
erage for our students If you
ever have a story idea, letter
to the editor or just a random
thought, come talk to my staff
and me in Kedrie 116.

Texas Tech responded with a
7-2 lead late in the half, but then
the Wildcats defense took over

in the first half was offensive re-
bounding where they grabbed sev-
en boards Lehning led the way
in the half with four offensive re-
bounds, and K-State finished the
game with 14.
"1 think it was important for
us in this game to assert that we
were going to defend post play and
rebound well," K-Stale coach Deb
Patterson said. "I felt we held our
own against a very talented often
sive rebounding team."
The Wildcats opened up their
lead again in the second half with

KANSAS CITY, Mo
- All 11 players on the ac-
live K-State roster scored in
an 87-60 victory over Flori-
da A&M at the Sprint Center
on Dec. 17
Though the victory
looked solid for the Wildcat!,
Coach Prank Martin said he
thought the team came out
and played lethargically
"We're a better bas
ketball team than Florida

bad in practice this week,
and we played bad We could

Beasley almost outscored the
other team by himself.
He became only the
ninth player in K-State histo-
ry to score 40 and also post-
ed his 1 1th double-double of
the season
"Mike's a tremendous
talent," senior guard Clent
Stewart said "He told me at
halftimc that he was going to
get 30 this half. I look at him
and said, OK, you've gotten
30 in a couple games but not
in a half.' He said, 'I'm going
to get 30 this half Watch' He
went out there, and he was
motivated "

State lottery hires
consultant to review
casino contracts
THE ASSOCIATED PRESSi
TOPEKA - The Kansas
Lottery Commission took an-
other step Wednesday toward
making resort casinos a reali-
ty when it hired a consultant tu
help write and negotiate con
tracts with the 13 applicants to
manage the four facilities
The commission unani
mously agreed to hire Richard
Schuetz. of Laguna Beach, Ca
lif ., and to pay him $40,000 for
the first 90 days His fee could
be up to $120,000 if he works
an additional 60 days
"We really don't have a
background in casino -type gam-
bling. To do it right, we want-
ed to get a consultant on board
with that background, and Mr
Schuetz will Mil the bill," said
Ed Van Petten, the Kansas Lot-
tery's executive director
Schuetz has three decades
of experience in the gambling
industry, including top posi
turns at five casinos in Las Ve-
gas and one in Minneapolis He
has been a visiting professor at
the University uf Nevada, Reno,
and the University of Houston,
and holds graduate degrees in
economics and finance.
"I have been around the
business a lot and will be a
good conduit with people who
haven't had the experience. I
think they just want some ex-
perienced hands on their side,"
said Schuetz. who started out
dealing blackjack in Reno while
in college
Van Petten said Schuetz
will help the Kansas Lottery
evaluate the contracts and help
negotiate them He said that
will include checking on the vi-
ability of an applicant's business
plan and finances and back-
ground information on them
The Lottery has until the
end of March to complete ne-
gotiations with the 13 appli-
cants, although Gov. Kathleen
Scbeli us could extend the dead-
line. Van Petten said he thinks
the negotiations can be com-
pleted without asking for more
time-
It can reach agreements on
as many contracts as it wants
and forward them to the Lot-
tery Gaming Facility Review
Board, which makes the final
selection of casino developers
in each zone.
Last year, Sebelius signed
legislation allowing for a casino
in Wyandotte, Cherokee, Sum
ner and Ford counties, plus
slots al the Woodlands in Kan
viv City ,iin.l Camp town Grey
hound Park in Frontenac The
state already has four tribal ca-
sinos in northeast Kansas.
The local government
where the casino would be lo-
cated must give its approval be-
fore a contract is signed with
the state Five applicants are in
the process of getting that local
approval
Van Petten said negotia-
tions are continuing with the
tracks Earlier this month, a
contract dispute between his
agency and Camptown halted
renovations at the track.
"We've got a dialogue go-
ing, and we hope to finish up
soon We're talking to every
body." Van Petten said
He said the tracks prob-
ably will operate slots by this
summer - 600 al Camptown
and 800 at the Woodlands, al-
though the Lottery could in-
crease numbers.
Eleven states have nontnh
a I resort casinos, but Kansas
would be the first to have state-
owned and operated ones The
Lottery would own the gam-
bling and contract with opera-
tors to run the facilities.
Even as the Lottery moves
toward, the issue of whether
the expanded gambling law is
constitutional remains uncer-
tain. A lawsuit filed by the at
lomcy general's office argues it
isn't and the issue is in Shaw-
nee County District Court. Ulti-
injidy. it will be decided by the
Kansas Supreme Court.
Sebelius said the law is
constitutional but asked for the
legal challenge to get a defini-
tive answer from the Supreme
Court.
Court case could alter Nev. primary outcome
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
LAS VEGAS - A last-minute federal
court battle over caucus rules demonstrates
jus) how important a tight three-way Dem-
ocratic presidential contest in Nevada has
become in the battle for momentum head-
ed into Super Tuesday's votes.
Hillary Rodham Clinton. Barack
Obama and John Edwards are in a statis-
tical dead heat in polling here before Sat
urday's caucuses. Nevada's sizable blocs of
Hispanic, union and urban voter^'.ould
provide an indicator of where the race is
headed on Feb. 5 when hundreds of dele
gates will be awarded in stales with signifi-
cant minority populations
By contrast. Republican candidates
have stayed away from the diverse elector
ate and unfamiliar electoral landscape as
Nevada voters weigh in earlier than ever
before
No major GOP candidate has set foot
in the state for two months, and some Re
publicans arc bracing for a possible sur-
prise first-place showing by long-shot Tfex
as Rep Ron Paul, the only Republican lo
broadcast TV ads in Nevada
At issue in a federal court hearing
Thursday is whether Democratic caucus-
es will be held in nine casinos along the
Las Vegas Strip The special locations were
designed to make it easier for housekeep-
ers, waitresses and bellhops in the state's
biggest industry to caucus at midday near
their jobs rather than returning home to
neighborhood precincts
The rules were unanimously apprm >.d
by the state Democratic party last March
and ratified by the Democratic National
Committee in August
But last Friday, six Democrats
and a teachers union, which has ties to
the Clinton campaign, sued lo shut the
sites on grounds they allocate too many
deleptes to one group. Of roughly 10.000
delegates to Nevada's presidential nomi-
nating convention, more than 700 could
be selected at casino caucuses, depending
upon turnout, which could make them
more valuable than some sparsely popu-
lated Nevada counties, the lawsuit said
Four plaintiffs are on the committee that
approved the sites
The DNC petitioned to join the suit
on behalf of the state party Tuesday.
The Clinton campaign has denied any
involvement in the lawsuit, but Obama
noted it was filed two days after he was
endorsed by the powerful Culinary Work-
ers Union Local 226. which has organized
many workers along the Strip The union
is the state's largest with 60,000 members,
more than 40 percent Hispanic.
The Illinois senator drew cheers at
a Culinary Union event Sunday when he
said the rules were fine until the union de
cided, "I'm going to support the guy who's
standing with the working people instead
of the big shots."
By Monday. Bill Clinton was defend
ing the lawsuit. "1 think the rules oughl
to be the same for everyhody," die former
president told high school students near
Las Vegas
The Culinary Union circulated a
less subtle message on fliers to members:
"Backers of Hillary Clinton are suing in
court lo lake away our right to vote in the
caucus." It's airing the same message in
Spanish lungaiige radio ads.
The legal dustup is not the only sign
that stakes have risen here as a new sur-

nal showed the race is a toss-up among the

The fight over labor has dominated
the campaign partly because its proven or-
ganizing ability is one of the few tested ele-
ments in the contest
Party officials arc hoping 40,000 peo-
ple turn out, 10 percent of the stale's regis-
tered Democrats Four years ago. a record

KANSAS 5 IMS COLLEGIAN
Amanda Mosteller wants lo
lead a "more fabulous life" in 2008
through drinking more water, liv-
ing a healthier lifestyle and becom-
ing a posit ive change in the world.
Mosteller, fifth-year student in
history and women's studies, said
most people word their New Year's
rvsiilntions in a negative way. In-
stead of focusing on mst losing
weight, Mosteller said she wants to
eat more fruits and vegetables and
drink and smoke less this year.
"If you put things in a negative
way, you're less likely lo succeed,"
she said
Mosteller wrote down her
New Year's resolutions and has
them on display where she can see
them daily She said people should
set resolutions lo improve them
selves from the previous year.
"You set little goals to set the
big goals, which are resolutions,"
she said "It's one of those things
where I want to be a better person
than 1 was before, so 1 set resolu
lions''
K Slate offers its students ser-
vices in areas like wellness, financ-
es, academics and counseling so
they can work toward their resolu
tions in January and year round
WELLNESS
Small goals - including daily
and weekly goals - are necessary
lo accomplish resolutions related
lo exercise and wellness, said Erin
Dawson, Peters Recreation Com-
plex assistant director for fitness
For example. Dawson said
students should Ml in 10 minutes
of physical activity each day with
walking to class or working on an
elliptical machine
"Setting smaller goals will
help people more in accomplish-
ing those longer term goals," she
said "If ii's something specific like
a race, they may want to have the
help of a personal trainer"
The rec employs more than 20
industry-certified personal tram
M who can help students devel-
op programs to achieve their well
ness and exercise goals A quick
start session costs $20 for students
and consists of ;i first session with
a fitness assessment and consulta-
tion. The second session includes
a one- hour workout Other pro-
grams and their costs can be found
at umm> recservices h state.edu/fil-
ntmennces/fitpenotiattmin htm
During the fitness assessment,
trainers meet with clients and dis-
cuss iheir specific goals, Daw-
son said. Tlie rec also offers a free
weighl-rotim orientation, where
personal trainers introduce stu-
dents to weight machines and car
dio equipment
"Even if they have a really tight
budget, they could always do thai
weight-room orientation, which is
free," Dawson said.
Many students and faculty
members incorporate wellness and
recreational activities inlo their res
-. i lut mi is Dawson said.
"There's always an overflow
of people coming around at the be-
ginning of the year" she said "We
have had a lot of faculty and staff
come in and sign up for payroll de-
duction so that if they hadn't had a
membership before, they could get
one."
FINANCE
Saving money is as easy as one
trip to the grocery store, said John
Grable, associate professor of (am
ily studies and human services and
director of K-State's personal fi-
nancial planning program.
Students and faculty could
save as much as $2O-$30 each
month if they buy a 12-pack of pop
or water from the grocery store in-
stead of spending pocket cash at
the vending machines, Grable said
Another option for students to
save money is starting a savings ac-
count if they already do not have
one, Grable said
"If you're not saving money,
pay more than the monthly mini-
mum payment on a credit card," he
said "|ust do something above and
beyond the minimum You don't
have to do dramatic things lo be-
come financially fit; you just need
to start with the small steps."
Students should stay optimis-
tic even if they break a financial
resolution. Grable said
"Try to save $1 today; at least
give it an attempt." he said. "If
you're at least trying lo save mon-
ey, you're at least further ahead
than someone who doesn't give it
any thought."
ACADEMICS
Small adjustments like review-
ing class notes every day and at-
tending class can help students
achieve their academic resolutions.
said ludith Lynch, director of the
Academic Assistance Center
Instead of waiting until
the nighl before an exam to be
gin studying. Lynch said students
should underline their notes or
make flash cards within 24 hours
of taking them in class
"Many times students have
bad habits, and if they just change
those one or two habits to how
they study, it can make a world of
difference," Lynch said 'They have
to make a conscious effort to rec-
ognize those habits and make an
effort to change them. It's just kind
of a way of keeping that in front of
them"
Tutoring is the most underuti-
lised service at K State's Acadcui
ic Assistance Center, Lynch said
More than 50 tutors are available
in most subject areas, especially
math and science, she said,
"For any student who is wor
ned about a particular class, we
are able lo satisfy mosl requests,
and you don't get one (tutor) un-
less you ask," Lynch said "If ihey
find out they don't need it. they
can drop the tutor If ihey find out
in the middle oi the semester they
need one, it might be loo late"
Spotting Pamela Fwrtro during one of her final exercises M«Hsm Haug wraps
up the liourlong session. The personal training sessions usually include a variety
of exercises that focus on strength training, cardiovascular activities and flexibility
training.

COUNSELING
Balance in one's life is an im-
portant factor for selling reso
lulions, said Dorinda Lambert,
Counseling Services associate di
rector and licensed psychologic
"Most people who are mak-
ing resolutions are looking back at
what worked for I hem and want
ing to make changes," Lambert
said. "Students are wanting to look
;ii bom they can handle relation
ships, handle stress and procrasti-
nating"
University Counseling Servic
es offers individual therapy scs
sions for students. Enrolled stu-
dents can receive four sessions
each fiscal year at no charge Ses-
sions five through 10 cost $14 per
hour, and sessions beyond 10 cost
$24 per hour For more in forma
tion about University Counseling
Services, visit wwui.k-state.edu/
OOtltmba§/ or call 785-532-6927
Because each person is differ
ent, Lambert said students have
different factors and situations to
consider when selling resolutions
"They might look at how they
might become more helpful in ur
ganizing their lives," she said "For
.some students, that might include
finding balance in classes, cutting
back on times in Aggjeville, cutting
back on procrastination and cut-
ting back on stress in their lives
"Some students might look
at how to become more clear on
what they want in their lives. Oth-
ers might look at how they might
become more involved with Iheir
liiinilies"
When choosing resolutions,
she said students must set realistic
goals and not take on too much.
"They need lo make sure they
don't make such broad resolutions
and need lo be realistic about the
lime frame they have to make I hose
changes and not make too many
changes at one time," she said.

With every second, a doz-

A week ago a friend of
mine died, A friend who I had
gone to school with for almost
18 years, and before his acci-
dent, we had played disc golf
in the afternoons and enjoyed
long conversations, which of-
ten reverted to the naming of
former high school classmates
that we perceived to be going
nowhere with their lives The
list was long.
A week ago a friend of
mine died, and I remember
feeling helpless that night and
even more so during his visita-
tion and funeral How do you
comfort someone who has lost
the perfect son? How do you
console someone who has lost
the most supportive brother,
loving cousin, smartest tutor,
funniest friend? He was some-
thing different for us all, but of
all the things he was, he was
always the best
A week ago a friend of
mine died, and each day I re-
gret not knowing him more.
The man was a genius, plain
and simple, and here I was the
fool, loo scared to ask for help.
The man was hilarious, sup-
portive, kind, loving, and here
I was, "too busy" to hang out.
A week ago a friend of
mine died, a friend who I was
fortunate to spend Christmas
with not so long ago 1 remem-
ber hearing the laughter in his
voice as he explained his new
Wii, Turns out. if you give him
a preseni and tell him not to
open it, he would only listen
to you so many times. He ru-
ined the surprise by "acciden-
tally" opening the very gifts
he was told not to, which, of
course, were the Wii games.
II frustrated those who gave
him the gifts, but he loved it
just the same. He was excited
about it, too, hoping it might
aid in his rehabilitation. We
were all hoping.
We went to a movie that
night - he, his family and me
He wanted to see "I Am Leg-
end." It scared the crap out of
me, but he enjoyed il It seems
all the things that frighten me
in life he enjoyed. School, re-
sponsibility, looming careers -
they all terrify me But he had
a grasp on things He under-
stood the bigger picture and
was able to take things slow
ly and prevail through adver-
sity He loved being tested and
pushed to the limit of his abili-
ties because to him there were
no boundaries, nothing was
impossible
He loved lo learn, but
more so. he loved to teach
And therein lies my regret; I
wish I had been a better stu-
dent He knew so much it
was scary sometimes Like his
friend said at his visitation,
"I guess the world just wasn't
ready for stable fusion energy,
'cause God knows, he would
have figured it out"

DEBRIS | City encourages residents
to help in storm clean-up process
Continued from ftqt 1
to gather volunteers for the
debris cleanup
"I think it's going trcmert
dous." Arena said. "1 think its
great that the community is
coming together and helping
each other out "
Arena said a few local
businesses and organizations
have donated lime and equip
ment for the project, but more
arc needed
"We were wanting to in-
clude the limb clean up us
pari of 'A Day of Service' on
Martin Luther King Jr. Day,"
said Kim Fraiser, coordinator
for the Volunteer Program at
K-State.
Ken Johnson, Ki wan-
ts Club member, has volun
leered to find people with
in the Kiwanis Club and oth-
er clubs affiliated with them
to help clean up limbs and
branches for disabled citi
zens.
"I think it's worthwhile."
Johnson said "The two peo
pie who called me are really
desperate One woman had
a tree limb go through her
roof"
For people unable to
clean up their downed tree
limbs and brush. City Hall
has a list of volunteers. Resi
dents can call or stop by City
Hall and pick up a copy The
main thing for people to do.
Arena said, is to be patient
Along with the city, the
county has started cleaning up
along the county roads "Wu
actually started last week,"
said Rod Meredith, assistant
director of Public Works
They have two crews pick
ing up the downed branches
and debris along the sides of
all county maintained roads.
Meredith said they have
no structured program and
are not promoting the pick
up. But if rural residents leave
any branches along the sides
of the county road, they will
be picked up
Anyone willing to volun-
teer should contact city hall
at 785-587-4588
SHORT | Professors, colleagues
recall student's humor, intellect
Continued from Page 1
Short also impressed his
professors before and after his
accident. Miller characterized
her former student as "quiet
and sharp"
"He was going to be the
quintessential engineer," she
said "He was the most self
less student that I know of"
Caterina Scoglio, associ-
ate professor in electrical en
gineering, said Short was do-
ing well when he relumed to
school after his accident de-
spile all of the injuries
Besides being an active
student, Short was involved
witb the Phi Kappa Thela fra
ternily and was a member of
Alpha Phi Omega, a service
fraternity
"He had a sense of humor
- quiet, but when he spoke he
made you laugh," said Beier,
i a junior in business manage
ment and business marketing
Beier said Short was
the scholarship chairman in
Phi Kappa Thela, and il was
something at which he ex-
celled
"He kept the guys going
with the nose-to-grindstone
way," Beier said. "He helped
me, I was always able to go to
him"
Short was a native of Au-
burn, Kan., and memorial ser
vices in Topeka have already
taken place A memorial ser-
vice in Manhattan is being
planned bul has yet to be an-
nounced.
Short is survived by his
parents, Steven and Janice
Short, and his sister, Melissa
WOMEN | Cats continue strong
Big 12 conference performance
Continued front Pigr 6
Texas Tech coach Kristy Cur-
ry called Sweat the most im-
proved player she has seen in
the Big 12 this season.
The Wildcats used their
experience and teamwork to
overwhelm an inexperienced
Texas Tech team at times. K-
State finished the game with
18 assists and forced the Red
Raiders to commit 20 turn-
overs
"I think it's just us playing
well together - getting the stop
we need and hitting (shots)
when we need to." Dietz said.
" I think we are just really play-
ing the mental game right now
of playing mentally tough and
competing every day"
Lehning finished the
game wilh seven points, 12 re-
bounds and nine assists and
was a key to the production of
the Wildcats offense wilh her
ability to penetrate and find
open players
"As far as teams go in this
league, there is (Baylor's An-
gela) Tisdalc and Lehning; as
they go, the team goes," Cur-
ry said Lehning ran her team
very well tonight"
The win marked the first
time K-State opened league
play at 3 since the 2003
04 season when they finished
14-2 in the Big 12 K Slate is
now 11-5 after starting the
year off by going 5-5.
'This is a team that con-
sistently works hard to get bet-
ter everyday and it really does
come down to the basics of
being resilient and consistent,"
Patterson said "We had some
losses that were disappointing
to us in the preseason, but this
group was determined to learn
and improve."
The Wildcats continue

innovations because they
didn't trust them," Marsdcn
said. ■'They always thought the
industry was trying lo do some-
thing that wasn't in the inter-
est of food safety When we
started working with the real
pathogen, they could really re-
late to what we were doing
They could understand what
we were doing, they could sup-
port it and things started hap-
pening much faster"
FAMOUS IN HIS OWN
FIELD
Marsden has appeared as
a food-safety expert on nuiner
ous daytime and evening net-
work news shows. He also is a
regular guest on "World Busi-
ness Review," which Norman
Schwarzkopf and Alexander
Haig co- host
"If there's an issue ill at in-
volves food or water or is sci-
entific in such a way that they
don't necessarily understand it
well, they bring me on to co-
host it," Marsden said "So I
ask the questions and co-hosl
it with either Gen Haig or
Gen. Schwarzkopf so that they
don't have to carry all of the
technical questions"
Curtis Kastner, director of
the Food Science Institute at
K-State, said Marsden 's Amer-
ican Meal Institute and in-
dustrial background added a
breadth of knowledge related
to food safety at K-Stale
"Once you gel the exper-
tise and get the program start
ed, that lives beyond just the
time we*re here because you
develop the reputation, you ed-
ucate the students." said Kast-
ner, who has directed the Food
Science Institute since its start
in 2001 "It has a life beyond
just what we do while we're
here."
While Marsden has a full
research appointment, he also
advises and researches with
graduate students Pamela
Hatesohl. master's student in
food science, said Marsden is
well- respected in the animal
sciences industry
"The field is very inter-
esting to me, and he's been
very helpful." Hatesohl said.
"Sometimes it's been a little
harder because I have a family
and go to school, but he's been
very helpful with that With all
of the students, he treats us as
equals and doesn't talk down
to us ever and tries to help all
of us learn."
RARE-BOOK COLLECTOR
Marsden also has a rare
books collection in the Rich-
ard L.D and Marjorie ). Morse
Department of Speciai Collec
lions at Hale Library He said
he started the collection in his
early 20s.
During his adult life,
Marsden acquired the Limit-
ed Editions Club, a collection
of rare autographed and illus-
trated books published since
1929. Only several full collec-
tions exist in the United Stales,
which George Macy started in
1929, Marsden said
Marsden said Upton Sin-
clair's "The Jungle" is his fa-
vorite book in the Limited
Editions Club collection He
said he made his students read
the book while he still taught
because it relates to the meat
industry.
"When you read the
book, 1 always wondered my-
self - he was sort of a social-
ist and an activist. Did he just
make all thai up, or was it re-
ally a reflection of the way
things were''" Marsden said.
"And late in life, he wrote a
forward for a Limited Edi-
tions Club book and he talk
ed about the tact that he did
work in those plants and he
did observe those conditions
in meat packing plants."

Vol.11) I No 80
Former
student
president
dead
By Stwila tllis
KANSAS STATE COLLEGIAN
Furmer K State Student
Body President Kyle Barker
was known as a people person
by his peers
Barker, 29, who was elected
student body president in 2001,
died at his home in Olathe, Kan.
on Dec. 19, 2007 from compli-
cations that resulted from a car
accident a few years ago, Bran
don Kauffnian, vice president in
2001 said.
Barker attended KState
from 1997 to 2002, according
lo the K- State Registrar's office,
and majored in political sci-
ence.
"Kyle was very charismatic
and a real people person," said
Kauffman, who spoke at Bark-
er's memorial services on Dec.
28, 2007
Barker's ability to win peo
pie over helped him connect
with students while campaign-
ing for president, Kauffman
said.
When Barker was elected
for student body president, he
was new to the KState Student
Governing Association.
However, Gayle Spencer,
assistant dean of student life
and office of student activities
and services said Barker "got
right in there and did a good job
during his term."
Barker's student govern-
ment administration initiated
the SaieKide program, Spencer
said He also was involved with
moving the KState 91.9 radio
station studio into KState Slu
dent Union in Spring 2002, ac-
cording to an article published
in 2001 in K-State's Update
Magazine, a magazine for the
A Q Miller School of journal-
ism and Mass Communication.
"Everybody loved him, he
had a great smile," Spencer said.
"You felt like you knew him the
minute you met him."
Kauffman also said he re-
membered Barker's dedication
to K-State
"Kyle loved the universi-
ty and just had a deep admira-
tion and respect for it," Kauff-
man said "Manhattan was his
favorite place lo be"
Kauffman said a large part
uf their platfonn focused on im-
proving the overall quality of
life of students at K Slate
Barker was also a bartend-
er at Pat's Blue Kib'n Barbecue,
president of Phi Delta Theta
fraternity and a member of Pub-
lie Relations Student Society of
America and the Political Sci-
ence Club, according the mag-
azine article.
Barker is survived by his
parents Gerald and Dcba Bark-
er of Spring Hill, Kan , his sister
Kendra Jenkins of Olathe, Kan.,
his brother Kelly Baker of Law-
rence and bis grandmother Bet
ty Wealhcrwax of Tiverton, R.l.

Gardens designed to honor Dr. King, Coretta Scott King
By Sarah Burford
KANSAS STATE COLLEGIAN
When Coretta Scott King
died last year, she probably never
imagined being commemorated
alongside her husband, the Rev
Dr Martin Luther King |r . in this
way
K State is planning to build
a group of gardens in honor of
Mrs King called the Coretta
Scott King Gardens of Engage-
ment, which will surround the
bust of Dr King that was dedicat-
ed in front of AJiearn Field HoiiM
last year
K State 's National Organi-
zation of Minority Architecture
Students (NOMAS) was commis-
sioned by Myra Gordon, associ-
ate provost for diversity and dual
career development at KState, to
design the gardens The students
hope to break ground for the proj-
ect during next year's Martin Lu-
ther King Jr. Observance Week,
Gordon said
"This is one-of-a-kind," she
said. "The bust, the gardens, the
lac l thai it's on Martin Luther
King Jr. Drive with him looking
down it ... it is truly, truly, truly
unique. No one has a garden ded-
icated to Mrs King"
Since Dr King's last univer-
sity speech was made at Aheam
Field House on Ian 19, 1968, be-
fore he died in April of that year,
the university wanted to dedicate
that area of campus to him and
his wife, Gordon said.
"It's an opportunity to eel
ebrate her as we celebrate Dr.
King," she said "This is a unique
opportunity to reunite this worn
an with her husband Really, they
were an indivisible pair during
the civil rights movement
David Hildebrandt, gradu-
ate student in architecture, is the
president of NOMAS and has
played a leading role in designing
the gardens with his fellow group
members He said the gardens'
design of three intersecting cir-
cles reflects King's principles and
teachings
The bust of Dr. King will
stand as an anchor point at the
intersection of the circles, which
will represent three of his core
principles, Hildebrandt said.
One will be a reflection eir
cle with landscaping and vegeta-
tion to provide a peaceful envi-
ronment. Another circle will sym-
bolize action commemorating the
action people took during the civ-
il rights era and to acknowledge
donors' contributions to the gar-
dens; a timeline of King's life and
the civil rights era will be includ-
ed on a wall in this circle. The
third circle represents education
and is designed as a gathering
place for classes and other groups
to meet. Hildebrandt said.
"All of us have worked real-
ly hard on this project, and we're
very proud of it," Hildebrandt
said
Clarence Oxendine, fifth
year student in landscape archi-
tecture and member of NOMAS,
said the group started designing
the gardens in fall 2006 Soon.
the university will have an ar-
chitectural firm construct draw-
ings from the students' complet-
ed designs. These drawings will
be used in the actual construction
of the gardens
"They take our design and
make it a reality,'' Oxendine said.
He said the design was a
combination of several students'
ideas
Hildebrandt said Colette
Hamilton, graduate student in
architecture, contributed to the
main design, and )eremy Antero-
la, graduate student in landscape
architecture, dealt with the tech-
nical details and costs
"We want people to see it
from the public realm, so not only
current students but prospective
students could see it from 17th
Street, from Boscu Plaza." Oxen
dine said "We want to lei them
know the significance of what
came about in [Aheam)."
To raise money for the gar-
dens, K-State is hosting an event
called "Bring Forty lo Celebrate
Dr King" on Thursday, |an. 24
from noon to 5 p. in outside the
KSDB-FM 91 9 radio station in
the K State Student Union. The
Martin Luther King |r Planning
Committee is encouraging each
student organization (or any indi-
viduals who want to participate)
to donate at least $40 to the fund
lo commemorate the 40th onm
versary of King's visil to KState.
"We want to make her [Dr
Gordon], the university, and ev-
eryone who will be affected by
the project proud," Hildebrandt
said
Actor, rapper to speak as part of weeklong MLK celebration
By Sarah Burford
KANSAS STATS OlIl.HilAN
Performer Ice T will
speak at 7 30 on Monday
night in Forum Hall as part
of Martin Luther King. Jr..
Week activities from Sunday,
|an 20, to Saturday, |au 26
Brandon Clark, Mar
tin Luther King |r Planning
Committee member and co-
ordinator for mullicullur
a] programs for the K-Slale
Alumni Association, said Ice-
T's lecture should be interest-
ing since he is not only a fa-
mous actor on the show Law
and Order: Special Victims
Unit, but also a former gang
member and an orphan.
"He's part of Dr King's
dream - he started off with
nothing but is now willing to
give back to the community,"
Clark said.
Historically black fra-
ternity Alpha Phi Alpha, of
which Dr King was a mem-
ber, will hold its annual can-
dlelight vigil Monday eve-
ning following the Ice-T lec-
ture.
Clark who is also the fra
ternily's alpha adviser said
the MLK committee is hop-
ing a large amount of stu-
dents will come to the vigil
and lecture since there is no
school on Monday
Careem Gladney. senior
in finance and president of
Alpha Phi Alpha, said the
vigil helps students remem-
ber the past but also look to-
ward I he future to increase
equality and diversity.
"It's important [to have
the vigil) so students can
look at the past and then
move forward into the fu-
ture," Gladney said
Following the vigil,
K Stale's leadership studies
department will hold a hot
chocolate social, Gladney
said.
This year is the 40th
anniversary of King's vis-
it here on Jan. 19, 1968 be-
fore he was killed in April,
Myra Gordon, associate pro
vosl for diversity and dual
career development, said.
King spoke at many schools,
she said, but K- State had the
privilege of hearing his last
university speech.
"K Stale is extreme-
ly lucky." Gordon said "We
have benefited from the most
evolved thinking of Dr King
To me, that's the greatest
honor"
The university also will
have a fundraising campaign
called "Bring Forty to Cele
brate Dr. King" on Thursday
The Ml K Committee is en
couraging every student or-
ganization to donate at least
$40 to the campaign.
The money will help fund
the Coretta Scott King Gar-
dens of Engagement, which
will be built within the next
few years outside of Ahearn
Field House and will sur
round the bust of King that
was dedicated last year
"This year is really about
celebrating those 40 years
since his speech," Clark said
"K-Slale should take pride in
that and take part in at least
one activity and remember
the life and legacy that he
lived"
On Monday at 8 a.m..
community members, stu-
dents and faculty will meet
for a prayer breakfast at the
Clarion Hotel
Starting at 10 a.m. Mon-
day, music, a job fair, vol
unteer activities, and oth-
er events will take place at
Manhattan Town Center all
day
A film showing on
Wednesday at 11 30 am in
the Union's Grand Ballroom
will be another event for stu-
dents to mark on their calen
dars.
"February One: The Sto-
ry of the Greensboro Four
is a civil rights documenta-
ry that tells the story of four
college students who sat
down at a lunch counter in
North Carolina in 1960 and
thereby became part of the
civil rights movement.
"The men |the Greens-
boro four) talk about how
they were thinking then ver-
sus how (hey are thinking
now," Gordon said "College
students played a tremen-
dous role in Ihe civil rights
movement"
Clark said the MLK Plan
ning Committee has worked
hard to provide events that
will be inviting and intrigu
ing for students
"We do this knowing we
have come a very long way
from 40 years ago, but we still
have a long way to go," Clark
said "The very least you can
do is come out and attend
one of the many events This
week is for you, the students.
Learn something new"

K-State recieves $2.5 million grant for soon-to-open biosecurity center
By Annette lawless
KAMASStMBCOUKIAK
K Stale might be one step
closer in becoming the home of
I new federal biosecurity facili
V
This week, bioscience re
searchers from across ihe slate
met dt i be Statehouse in sup-
port ol research initiatives at
Kansas Bioscience Day. The
iwu day event served as a step-
ping stone fur a new $2 5 mil-
lion research initiative for
K Stale's Biosecurity Research
Institute, according to the Kan
sas Bioscience Authority
According lo the KBA. il
launched the campaign for the
plan, which would strengthen
the university's research capa-
bilities in addressing threats to
the nation's food supply.
The $2 5 million plan -
known as the Collaborative
Bioscience Research Initiative
- will allow researchers from
the government, non-profit or
sanitations and other univer-
sities to conduct research and
mllaburatc wilh K State, ac-
cording to the KBA
"We're issuing a call today
for the nation's brightest re-
searchers to partner with us lo
protect public health and safe-
guard the agriculture econo-
my," said KBA lYesideni Tom
Thornton in a KBA press re-
lease "Our facilities are high
ly specialized and world class,
and our scientists are doing
world -class research. Now is
the lime for collaboration to
take on this important national
challenge
This week, the KBA staned
soliciting grant proposals from
researchers who would like
to join the collaborative pro)
cct Thornton said the CBRI
was established to support Id-
ler institutional research aimed
at developing disease counter-
measures, providing advanced
testing, threat evaluation ca-
pabilities and strengthening in
stitutional biosecurity capabili
lies
Strengthening the abilities
of the BR I was needed, as it
will formally begin full-fledged
research this spring The solidi-
ty of BRI research and this $2.5
million project can breed bei
ler biosecurity opportunities,
like the opportunity for K-Slaic
being selected as the home <<l
a National Bio- and Agro- De-
fense Facility Kansas House
Speaker Melvin Neufeld, R-
Ingalls, said he anticipates the
c ol I abora ti ve researc h proj
ect should help Kansas attract
NBAF
"Initiatives like this high-
light our commitment to win
(NBAF) on the merits," Neufeld
states in a media release. "Our
slate already has established it
self as a world leader in animal
and plant biosciences The Col
laburaiive Biosecurity Research
Initiative and the NBAF com
piemen t and expand the work
of the Biosecurity Research In-
stitute, a stale of the art facili-
ty at K Slate, as well as Ihe nu
merous plant and animal com-
panies already in our slate The
NBAF would be a greal fit in
Kansas"
Yet, even more important-
ly. K State President )un We
fald said lite plan would help
put K-State on the map
"This would set the stage
for basic research, applied re-
search, Ihe commercialization
of that research, new startup
companies, new jobs The ben
efils lo Kansas would be, well.
monumental," Wefald said.
Competing against four fi
inbti for Ihe biosecurity facili-
ty, Wefald said he remains pos
itive about what the universi-
ty has to offer but also realiz-
es I lie area might not meet big-
city demands. If chosen as the
NBAF site. Manhattan might
have to accommodate lo those
needs
"Our setback' We don't
have an international airport
in Manhattan, Kansas," Wefald
said. "You know, I think the
other sites are a lit lie bit close
to a - you might say - a na-
iiona], an international airport,
so we're working with the City
of Manhattan
"So if we do get il. there
would be a proposal to kick in
to have better air service So
we're even going to try lo get a
win on that one too"
Wefald said he remains
optimistic about Ihe possibil-
ity of K Slate becoming a key
player in security research
nut PHOTO
K- State's Biosecurity Research Institute is one of foui finalists for a S450
million federal biosecurity facility.
"We've got the undivided
support from the speaker o{ the
house, the president of the Sen
ale, the governor, the state leg-
islature, the congressional del-
egation - clearly its Ihe No
1 priority of the State of Kan
sas," Wefald said "Then look at
it: we're geographically in the
middle of America we're in
the middle of agriculture. Stra-
tegically, geographically, scien
title ally. I think we have a shot
at this"
That shot however like
ly it might be - is against four
other finalists for the $450 mil
lion federal biosecurity facil
ity The finalists include sites
in Georgia. Mississippi, North
Carolina and Texas. The De
partment ol Homeland Secu-
rity will make ils final decision
in October, and construction
would be complete in 2013

Those cryin eyes
Garnering sympathy often dishonest but effective politics
STEVEN
KELLY
Minutes after the results of the
New Hampshire Democratic prima-
ry were released, news of Hillary Clin-
ton's victory over Ba-
rack Obama spread na-
tionwide like the latest
celebrity scandal.
It seems analysts
were wrong in pre-
dicting Obama would
take New Hampshire,
though he was poll-
ing well ahead of Hil-
lary before the votes
started pouring in
This surprising turn-
around victory led
many to wonder why the experts missed
the mark. While some people chalked
up her victory to coincidence, others
pointed their fingers at a more ques-
tionable reason - the sympathy vote.
On Jan 7, just one day before the
primary, Hillary met with New Hamp-
shire voters in a coffee shop to answer
questions.
At one point in the session, she
went off on an impassioned tangent
"I just don't want to see us fall
backward as a nation," Hillary said, her
eyes glistening with tears. "I mean, this
is very personal for me Not just politi-
cal. I see what's happening. We have to
reverse it. Some people think elections
are a game: who's up or who's down
It's about our country. It's about our
kids' future. It's about all of us togeth-
er."
The rhetoric alone wasn't unique or
exceptionally moving, but the fact thai
it was coupled with tears made it stand
out like a lime-green suit at a funeral
And this is from Hillary of all peo-
ple - a woman who has often been la-
beled an "ice queen" for her frosty dis
position. The real reason for the ruckus
is not the tears themselves, but the mo-
tivation behind them Many people har-
bor suspicions that the tears were fake
- a political ploy to counter whispers
of her inhumanity and make her more
appealing to the public.
Bill Kristol, editor of the political-
ly conservative magazine The Week-
ly Standard, even went as far as saying
on the Fox News Channel that night,
"It's the tears. She pretended lo cry, the
women fell sorry for her, and she won."
Though the primary's results con-
firm that more women voted for Hillary
than for Obama - 47 percent to 34 per-
cent, respectively - people like Kristol
go (oo far by claiming she won because
of the women's sympathy vote. For one,
that kind of chauvinistic thinking does
nothing but aggravate the already sore
issue of gender equality. I realize it's no
secret women are generally more sen-
sitive and sympathetic than men. Still,
that doesn't mean a few tears render
them incapable of making rational deci-
sions
Besides, 1 doubt the women of New
Hampshire - or women in general -
appreciate being slapped with a com-
ment that essentially refers to them as
emotional saps.
Hillary's critics don't want lo see a
gender rift appear within the electorate,
1 think they should start choosing their
words a little more wisely. 1 can't rule
out the possibility that the tears were
fake, but if that was the case, I can't
say I'd blame her Pulling a stunt like
that might be a bit underhanded and
dishonest, but it's smart politics, and
Hillary's opponents know it
If appealing to people's emotions
gives you even the slightest edge over
your opponents, why not go for it? 1
bet the other candidates wouldn't hesi-
tate to show a little feeling if they were
certain il would gain them a few votes.
Does this mean we might see other can-
didates dissolving into waterworks? I
wouldn't count on il, mainly because I
don't think they would want to risk ru-
ining their generally stolid reputations.
Bui hey. it's still a long time un-
til November. Perhaps we'll see a few
more showers after ail.

of the social -networking
abilities of the 21st cen-
tury to organize groups
on Web sites like Face-
book com and also have
used the Internet to
make it easier for young
voters to contribute to
campaigns by donating
money or volunteering
To show how much
young voters can make
a difference, look at Re-
publican presidential
candidate Ron Paul.
He raised more than $4
million in one day from
private donors, many of
whom were young vot-
ers fed up with the cur-
rent political climate.
With the tightness of
both parties' presiden-
tial races, younger vot-
ers have a chance, even
with a single vote, to
help choose their pre-
ferred candidate.
The Kansas caucus-
es are approaching in
a few weeks, and with
no clear front-runners,
Kansas could be a big-
ger part in this year's
race compared to the
last several elections.
Usually, the Democrat-
ic and Republican pres-
idential candidates have
sealed victories by the
time the Kansas caucus-
es take place.
The deadline to reg-
ister for the Democrat-
ic caucus is Jan. 21, and
the deadline for the Re-
publican caucus is Jan.
25. To register, all stu-
dents have to do is
go to the Riley Coun-
ty Web site, print the
registration form and
mail it or turn it in to
the county clerk's of-
fice. If students are reg-
istered somewhere else,
they can still register in
Manhattan.
It's quick and easy,
and for a change, Kan- -

Giving is better than receiving during holidays, all year-round
MARX

Americans spend a lot of money
during the Christmas season.
I am not trying to send anyone
on a guilt trip,
but look at some
of these figures.
Last year, the Na-
tional Retail Fed
eration predict
ed $4574 billion
would be spent
during the holi-
days The group
called it a bad year
compared to what
is normally spent.
Our minds can't
really comprehend a figure that large.
To put it into perspective, at the 2007
G-fj summit. President Bush promised
$30 billion to fight Al DS, malaria and
tuberculosis in Africa.
The NRF also estimated that $20
billion would be spent the day after
Thanksgiving. So even during what the
NRF deems a bad year, we spend $427
billion more on Christmas gifts than
on fighting AIDS in Africa and only
$10 billion less on a single shopping
day
Giving and getting gifts is fun So
if you think I am saying wc should all
stop, you're missing the point; we lust
need to scale back.
According to Associated Con-
tent's Web site, the average household
spent more that) $500 on gifts this
year. Why couldn't that figure be $250,
with the other half going to something
or someone who needs it more?
When I asked my brother what
he was going to spend his Christ-
mas money on, he said he gave it to a
school in Sudan thai his high school
has partnered with. The money will
buy books and food for children
whose families would otherwise not be
able lo afford it.
With this in mind. I looked at the
guitar pedal I bought with my Christ-
mas money There is nothing wrong
with buying myself a guitar pedal for
Christmas, but 1 realized my brother
used his money in a much more mean-
ingful way than 1 did.
You don't have to send your mon-
ey across the world Give it to the sin
gle mother across the street to help
pay for groceries or a couple restau
rant visits, or share it with (he Salva-
tion Army to help them buy coats and
gloves.
One friend was given extra Christ-
mas money and told by her parents
that she could keep it or give it to
someone who she saw and felt needed
it. My friend gave the money to a lady
who said it would change her whole
holiday season, because she would
now be able to buy gifts for her kids.
My friend said it was the best Christ
mas she can remember.
Other friends participated in
a movement called the Ad-
vent Conspiracy, slarted by
people in Portland, Ore ,
who feel holiday spending is
out of control. People who
participate donate money in
family or friends' names
toward clean water ef-
forts for African vil-
lages On Christmas,
the participant gives
the family member or
friend a card that shows
the amount donat-
ed along with a water
bottle as a reminder
of the gift's purpose
Their Web site, www.
Adven tConspnacy. org,
tells more about the
group's purpose
It's hard
lo rebel against Amer-
ican expectations of
h i gge rand -better gift
exchanging during
the holidays. Though
it's a little late for the
2007 holiday season,
the concept still applies
throughout the year.
When December rolls
around again, think about spending a
little less on yourself and more on peo
pie who don't have as much, tt can !
make a difference in someone
else's life.

cause he said it seemed like the
right thing to do.
"It's very important to be-
come involved with the elec-
tions and learn what's going
on." he said "Its our future"
During the New Hamp-
shire presidential primaries,
there was a 271 percent in-
crease in young voters com-
pared to the 2004 elections
This percentage increase rep-
resents 84,230 individuals be-
tween the ages of 18 and 29
years of age who voted in New
Hampshire on Ian 9., accord-
ing to a revised estimate from
the University of Maryland
Students for Obama. an
organization to support the
campaign of Barack Obama.
a Democratic senator from
Illinois, is helping to raise
awareness of the election at
KState
The KState chapter is
having a kick-off event at 5 JO
p.m. today in the KState Stu-
dent Union Room 206
"We want to get every-
body back together from break
and get in contact with those
who have just started paying
attention - especially due to
Iowa," said Bryan Cox, junior
in anthropology and econom-
ics and a member of the Stu-
dents for Obama campaign
Cox said he comes from
a predominantly Republican
family. Despite some pres-
sure from his family to consid-
er changing parties, he said his
family is satisfied that he is in-
volved in the elections at his
age
"Being a Democrat at
K- St ale is like being a student."
he said "Like every student
here at K State, you're having
something you're working to-
ward. Being an Obama sup-
porter, it's nice to know that I
am having an impact."
More young voters are
volunteering and paying atten-
tion in the 2008 elections be-
cause of the efforts of organi-
zations like Rock the Vote, a
non-profit organization based
in Washington. DC. which
uses the entertainment in-
dustry to get youth involved
in the political process Rock
the Vote has worked with ce-
lebrities like Eva Mendes. Jus-
tin Timberlake, Sean "P Did
dy" Combs and Jada Ptnkett-
Smith
Rock the Vote communi-
cations director Chrissy Faes-
sen said she got involved be-
cause of the organization's
purpose and strategy to reach
youth.
"Rock the Vole is a great
organization that engages
youth through what they're in
terested in to really reach out,"
she said "It's an exciting year
with the new technology such
as Facebook and Youlube
With all these, we can utilize
them for polities' purposes."
Many organizations are
taking advantage of this ad-
vancement in technology to
get involved und reach out, K-
State's Young Democrats and
College Republicans have Fa-
cebook groups to reach stu-
dents.
George Weston, graduate
student in sociology and Col-
lege Republicans president,
said political organizations are
good places fur students to get
involved in the political pro-
cess
"This is our future," Weston
said. "What about Social Secu-
rity and healthcare? Who's go
ing to have the best plan to fix
these issues? Being able to get
involved and discuss with oth-
ers around you lakes your one
vote, and it could become two,
four or even eight voles"
Cox said he wants to en-
courage others lo get involved
and have their vote make a dif-
ference.
"Your efforts can count
when you actively work with
other people and put your
viewpoint forward," he said,
"And with that, you can in-
fluence others in an impor-
tant way - it's an accomplish-
ment."

loss sparks
6-game
win streak
By Joel Wilson
KANSAS flATl I miK.IAS
When the K State wom-
en's basketball team fell to
5 5 toward the end of the
noneonferencc season, the
Wildcats were in need of a
switch
It turns out it was a 69-
62 loss to Creighton that mo-
tivated K State to come off
their winter break and surge
to six straight wins and a JO
conference record
'I think our major turn-
ing point was after the Creigh-
ton game," sophomore Ashley
Sweat said "We were disap-
pointed, and »c were going
home for break, and 1 think
it gave us all time to think
about what wc want this sea
son when we came back from
break "
Sweat said the team de
cided it needed to start win-
ning games as soon as possi-
ble when it traveled to Los
Angeles for a two-game tour-
nament
K-State swept the tour-
nament and returned home
for its final noneonference
contest against Western Illi-
nois The Wildcats won 68-
53 and faced the challenge of
a two-game road trip to Tex-
as to play two ranked teams
"People are impatient
nowadays.' K State coach
Deb Patterson said They
want things right away and
they really lose perspective
on the fact that the schedule
we played was a tough sched-
ule"
The Wildcats knocked off
Texas A&M and Texas to sur
vivc the Lone Star trip with
a 2-0 record that built early
conference confidence
Last season, the Wildcats
lost confidence wilh the inju-
ry to then-sophomore Marl

Low supply, high demand cause egg prices
to increase, animal sciences professor says
CASUAL CONVERSATION
ly Owtn Kennedy
KANSAS STATE COLLEWAN
Breakfast is the most
important meal of the day,
but soon it might become
the most expensive
The price of eggs in the
United States, has more than
doubled in the last year -
from 69 cents per dozen to
$1 48 per dozen, according
to the U.S. Department of
Agriculture.
One K- State associate
professor says a couple of
the reasons for the increase
are low supply and high de-
mand
Scott Beyer, associate
professor of animal scienc-
es and industry, said volun
tary regulations regarding
the lower amount of hens in
a facility have had some ef-
fect, since space is limited.
"Welfare regulations are
asking producers to put few-
er birds in a house," Bey-
er said. "Where you might
have once had 1 10,000 birds
in a house, you now have
103,000. Fewer hens equal
few eggs"
Adding to the shortage,
Beyer said prices associat-
ed with raising poultry also
have risen, causing some
producers to slow expan-
sion.
He said automated facil-
ities require large amounts
of steel, which are expen-
sive.
He also said uncertainty
influences a producer's deci-
sions.
"People are a little bit
worried," Beyer said. "Steel
prices are high, interest rates
and feed cost are high, and
the economy is a concern.
You might not invest $20
million if you don't know
what's going to happen in
two years"
Since corn and grains
are essential to raising chick
ens, Beyer sail demand for
ethanol might influence pric
es as well
"It has less to do with
how popular ethanol is, and
more to do with the price of
grain associated with etha
"Oil is skyrocketing." he
said. "Some people would
put fuel in their cars be-
fore they put food in their
mouths, sad bul true"
Demand for eggs also
has increased recently, Bey-
er said, possibly because
many misconceptions about
egg consumption and health
problems, namely high cho
lesterol, have been proven
untrue.
Ryan Meireis. assistant
manager of Kay's Apple Mar
kel. said he has noticed egg
prices rising in the store
"I've definitely seen
prices go up, especially in
the last year," Meireis said
"Probably about 50 percent
or more."
Beyer said Kansas and
the Midwest have some of
the cheaper eggs in the coun-
try because many uf the eggs
are produced in the region.
He said the East and
West coasts have seen high
price hikes
These hikes also are be-
ing noticed overseas This
is because of high shipping
costs for eggs and feed
Meireis said customers
are not the only people af
fecled by the price increas-
es.
He said store owners are
having to pay more for eggs
and egg products, and stores
are not benefi tting from high
prices
He said some customers.
have complained about the
prices, but most have paid
the higher price with little
concern.
People got to eat eggs."

U.S. Supreme Court expands
vague definition of child porn
lHU>AIIYUNIVHtSElBYU(
PROVO. Utah - The
Supreme Court will weigh
in this month on the consti-
tutionality ol a federal law
thai expands the definition
of child pornography in
an effort to crack down on
cyberspace prowlers
The court will decide if
two phrases in the PROTECT
{Prosecutorial Remedies and
Other Tools to End the Ex
ploitalion of Children TodayJ
Act of 2003 arc unlawful-
ly vague and overbroad The
court is expected to lake t la-
case under advisement after
oral arguments and issue its
opinion before the end o( its
current term in |une 2008
ORIGIN OF THE PROBLEM
The issue surfaced af-
ter Michael Williams pleaded
guilly to two counts of child
pornography: possessing the
material and "pandering"
(promoting) the images
In an Internet sting up
eration, Williams nflered sex-
ually explicit pictures of his
4 -year-old daughter to an un
dercover federal agenl Au-
thorities also found 22 im-
ages of underage children on
Williams' computer.
Following Williams' ap-
peal, the 11th Circuit Court
of Appeals overturned ihe
pandering conviction, calling
the PROTECT Act's language
"impermissibly vague and fa
cially unconstitutional "
The pandering section of
Ihe PROTECT Act was the
latest of several attempts by
Congress to strengthen pen-
alties for Internet predators.
In one of those attempts.
Congress passed an ami -por-
nography law that prohibit-
ed the creation of computer-
generated images of children
because the virtual children
were not "real" The Supreme
Court struck this down in
2002 for infringing on free
dom of expression.
Juan Becerra, Salt Lake
City FBI spokesman, said if
the courl upheld Williams'
appeal, it would definitely
lake an arrow out of the law
enforcement's quiver, but it
wouldn't change their strong
stance or the charges against
those who engage in child
pornography We're still go-
ing to go after these guys as
hard and aggressively as be

Voters question relevance of 2008
candidates' gender, racial differences
at Democratic presidential debate
THE REBEL YELL(UNLV)
LAS VEGAS - One is
black One is a woman One
is white.
One of the questions
posed at Tuesday night's
Democratic presidential de-
bate at Cash man Center on
Las Vegas Boulevard; How
much does this mailer?
MINORITY REPORT
"Sen. jUarack] Obama
and 1 agree completely that
neither race nor gender
should be a part of (his cam
paign," New York Sen Hil-
lary Clinton said,
While Clinton, Obama
and former Sen. John Ed-
wards all agreed that char-
acter and the ability to spurk
change should be the defin-
ing factors for voters, one
viewer who submitted a ques
lion noted that the potential
to break historical barriers is
impossible to ignore.
"The policy differenc-
es among the remaining can-
didates are so slight that we
appear to be choosing on
the basis of personality and
life story," San Diego, Calif.
voter Margaret Wells wrote
"Why should 1, as a progres-
sive woman, not resent being
forced to choose between the
first viable female candidate
and the first viable African -
American candidate?"
The debate was intend-
ed to highlight minority is-
sues, being nationally spon-
sored by the Nevada Dem-
ocratic Party, the U.S. His-
panic Chamber of Commerce
and 100 Black Men of Amer-
ica, Inc. Local partners were
the African -American Dem-
ocratic Leadership Council,
Impactu and the College of
Southern Nevada
However, with issues
such as candidates' individ-
ual backgrounds, the general
economy, the war in Iraq and
Yucca Mountain dominating
the debate, many felt minori-
ty issues were glazed over.
"I didn't even hear the
words 'affirmative action'
once," CSN history and po-
litical science professor Alan
Balboni said, noting that bill
ing the event as a debate on
black-brown issues may have
been misleading. "I don't
even know if 1 heard the
word discrimination"'
Fellow CSN professor
Mike Green shared a senti
ment of disappointment after
the debate.
"Nothing against MSN-
BC, but they focused more
on the horse race and the
controversies." Green said.
The top three Demo-
cratic Party contenders - a
fourth presidential candi-
date. US Rep Dennis Ku-
cinich of Ohio, was excluded
from the debate by MSNBC
- spent much of the remain-
ing time attempting lo distin-
guish themselves from their
counterparts.
OTHER ISSUES MATTER
Clinton highlighted her
continual opposition toward
using Yucca Mountain to
store nuclear wasle. criticiz-
ing Edwards for twice voting
in favor of the it and Obama
for being financially backed
by an energy company in
support of the repository
In his rebuttal. Edwards
said he made those votes
before new evidence and
forged paperwork were dis-
covered He also tried to dis-
tance himself from the other
two candidates by saying he's
the only candidate adamant-
ly opposed to nuclear pow-
er, as well as coal -fired pow-
er plants
Other commentators in
the spin room after the debate
pointed out lhat many of the
general issues addressed, like
the subprime mortgage rales
leading to a wave of home
foreclosures, are of particular
interest to minorities
When it comes to fore-
closures per capita, Nevada,
a state with a large minority
population, has been hit the
hardest by the housing crisis
Clinton said during the
debate that blacks and His
panics were some of the most
vulnerable during this crisis,
and the candidate was more
outspoken than her counter
parts on her plan lo freeze
interest rates to prevent fore-
closures as well as hold a
moratorium on foreclosures
for 90 days if and after sworn
into office
"The issues lhat face all
Americans face minorities
in sometimes a much more
acute fashion." said Rodney
Slater, the secretary of trans-
portation under Bill Clin-
ton's administration, who
was there to support Hillary
Clinton. "Educational oppor-
tunities are especially impor-
tant when it comes to Afri-
can-Americans and Latinos."
Education took the spot-
light several times during the
televised debate.
Obama said good an-
swers are not what the gov-
ernment lacks when it comes
lo education.
"What we don't have is a
sense of urgency in the White
House," Obama said
When asked about the
disproportionately high drop-
out rate for black males in all
levels of the educational sys-
tem, Obama said as president
he intends to talk about the
importance of parents nur-
turing children toward pos-
itive attitudes about educa-
tion.
"Particularly African-
American fathers he said.
"[They are] all loo often ab-
sent from the home. And as
somebody who grew up with
oul a father, 1 know how im-
portant that is"
SUPPORT FOR MILITARY
Education and minori-
ties were also discussed with-
in the context of ROTC pro-
grams. Moderator Tim Rus-
sert cited a federal statute
that says a college or univer-
sity may lose federal funding
if it does not provide space
for military recruiters or pro-
vide an ROTC program for its
students. All three candidates
agreed they would "vigorous-
ly enforce" the statute.
Clinton cited her work to
stop the current administra-
tion's attempt to take away
signing bonuses from suldiers
who get wounded
Obama said he would
seek an increase in force
structure in the US Army
and Marines to MM strain on
families who have dealt with
their loved ones going on
multiple lours to war zones
Edwards noted lhat sup-
porting the military needs to
be extended to veterans lhat
have suffered expensive med-
ical injuries, post- traumatic
stress disorder and homeless
MM.
"They didn't leave us on
our own. We shouldn't leave
them on their own," Edwards
said, noting thai job training
comprehensive physical and
mental health and additional
education should all be avail-
able to these individuals.
Debate sponsor CSN
does not have a permanent
recruiting station on any of
its campuses. However, ac-
cording to interim vice prcsi-
dent of academic affairs Car-
los Campo. they regularly get
requests from the armed forc-
es to set up boolhs and a I
ways allow them the room
Campo said he was
pleased recruitment was
brought up because of the
underlying issue that minor-
ity students may be taken ad-
vantage of by military recruit-
ers

Mulvane City Council advocates
proposed casino, though many object
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
MULVANE, Kan - The
city council on Wednesday
narrowly approved a plan for
a proposed $500 million casi-
no resort in Mulvane
After listening to about
70 residents on both sides of
the issue, the council voted
3-2 to endorse the proposal
by Harrah's Entertainment-
Sumner Gaming and Resorts
to locate a casino near the
Mulvane exit to the Kansas
Turnpike
The vole allows Harrah's
to submit its proposal to the
Kansas Lottery for consid-
eration, competing with two
Wellington casino plans en-
dorsed by the Sumner County
Commission. Those propos-
als, both near the Wellington
turnpike exit, were offered by
Perm National Gaming and
Marvel Gaming- Binion Fam-
ily Trust
MGM Mirage- Foxwoods
D e v e I u p m e n t - C h i s h o 1 m
Creek Ventures also has pro-
posed a $425 million project
tor the Mulvane exit and is
seeking annexation from the
city for a possible endorse-
ment
The state's new gambling
law requires endorsements
from cities or counties where
casinos are to be located be-
fore prospective casino man-
agers can sign contracts with
the Kansas Lottery. Harrah's
was granted annexation by
the city last week in order
to try to obtain an endorse-
ment.
Harrah's expects to draw
more than 3 million visitors
annually and bring in $274
million in gambling revenue
by the casino's third year.
The casino would cover
70.000 square feet with more
than 2,000 slot machines and
50 gaming tables Two ho-
tels with a total of 275 rooms
would have separate entranc-
es so patrons wouldn't have
to pass through the casino to
reach them.
Several hundred peo-
ple filled the Mulvane High
School auditorium for
Wednesday's hearing on Har
rah's proposal. Speakers were
about evenly split between
pro- and anti-casino forces
Opponents said the casi-
no would be a bad lit for the
community, ruin local bust
nesses and create social prob-
lems such as crime and gam-
bling addiction
"The social impact was
a lot greater than I feel oth-
ers were willing to look at,"
said council member Shawn
Townsun. who voted against
the plan
Some urged the council
to allow residents to vote on
the issue
"Lei us vote so lhal you
can say to all that you were
doing what the people of
Mulvane want." said resident
Karen DeGraaf
Pro-casino speakers cit
ed a casino's economic ben
efils to Mulvane and Sum-
ner County, including lower
property taxes, new jobs and
new business growth.
Mulvane resident Charles
Morgan said he and a grow-
ing number of residents were
passionate about the propos-
al to spur economic develop-
ment
"When developers see
a significant investment in
an area, it's like a held of
dreams, bringing more in-
vestment,"' he said.
IHlASMHlAIH>PkESS
WICHITA - Religious
1 1'iiservatives have dusted
off a largely forgotten 1887
slate law that allows citizens
to launch grand jury investi-
gations, and they are using it
to help turn Kansas into one
of the nation's biggest abor
lion battlegrounds
A grand jury that was
impaneled Ian. 8 through a
citizen petition drive is in
vestigating Dr George Til
ler. a Wichita clinic opera-
tor abhorred by anti-abor-
tion activists because he is
one of the nation's few phy-
sicians who perform late
lenn abortions. This is the
second such citizen invest i
galion of Tiller since 2006
Phillip |auregui. coun
sel for the anti -abortion Life
Legal Defense Foundation,
said Kansans arc invoking
the 19th-century law be-
cause prosecutors are too
soft on abortion.
"This is a right the peo-
ple of Kansas have given
themselves." he said.
But others say the law is
I dangerous tool
"This is a witch hunt -
plain and simple." said Vicki
Saporta, president of the
National Abortion Federa-
tion, a pro-choice group. "It
clearly demonslrales the in-
herent danger of empower-
ing biased advocacy groups
to Impanel a grand jury"
Normally, prosecutors
decide whether to convene
a grand jury to investigate
something and bring charg-
es
I uJer the Kansas law,
enacted during the Gilded
Age and (he nation's great
railroad boom to curb po-
litical corruption, the peo-
ple can force an invest ij:u
tion if they collect signa-
tures from a certain percent
age of voters in a county In
small counties, that can be a
few hundred signatures; in
Wichita's Sedgwick County,
about 4.000
Five other states pro
vide for citizen-petitioned
grand juries: Oklahoma.
New Mexico, North Dakota.
Nebraska and Nevada, ac
cording to a Tiller atlomey.
One of the most pub
lieized grand juries con
vened by citizen petition
was formed in Oklahoma af-
ter the 1995 Oklahoma City
bombing, which killed 168
people The investigation
was prompted by suspicions
thai Timothy McVeigh and
Terry Nichols had help in
the bombing But the grand
liiry found no evidence of a
wider conspiracy or a gov-
ernment cover-up.
So far, no other state ap
pears to have used the pro-
cess to pursue a social and
moral agenda as extensively
as Kansas, which is attack-
ing not just abortion, hut
pornography
Since 2005. citizen pe
titions have forced sev-
eral grand juries in Kan-
sas to investigate whclh
er adult bookstores should
be charged with obscenity
Twenty stores were indict-
ed, said Phillip Cosby, ex
ecutive director of the Na-
tional Coalition for Protec-
tion of Children and Fami
lies. Most of the cases have-
not been resolved.
The strategy? "To
strengthen the prosecu-
tor's hand" and let authori-
ties know that "they are not
alone - that we the people
feel there is a very big prob-
lem," Cosby said.
The anti-abortion move
ment rediscovered the law
when David Gittrich used it
in 2006 to force an invesliga
Hon into the death of a In
as woman who had an abor
tion at Tiller's clinic, though
the grand jury failed to re-
turn an indidment, people
noticed.
"I was inspired by
God to use the grand jury,"
Gittrich said.
This time. Tiller is under
investigation on suspicion ol
violating a 1998 state law re
striding late-term abortions
He has denied any wrong-
doing
Tiller has long been at
the very tenter of the na-
tion's abortion battle His
clinic was bombed in 1985,
and eight years later, a wom-
an shot him in both arms
"We see in Kansas a
perfect example of a system
which has virtually become
active vigilanlism." said Lee
Thompson, an attorney for
Tiller, "A very small minor-
ity number of people who
have a specific agenda can
force a criminal investiga-
tion - and 1 think that is a
usurpation ol the executive
power of government"
Forcing a grand jury in-
vestigation requires signa-
tures from 2 percent of the
nuniber ol people who vot-
ed in the last governor's
election in the county, plus
100 more names In Til-
ler's county, activists gath
ered nearly 8.000, or twice
as many as required.
Similarly, in December,
a citizen-impaneled grand
jury began investigating a
Planned Parenthood clinic
in the Kansas City suburb of
Overland Park
Then Kansas Attorney
General Phill Kline hied
charges against Tiller in
2006, accusing him of per-
forming 15 late term abor-
tions without the required
medical justification and
failing to report details to
stale health authorities But
a judge threw out the ease in
a jurisdictional dispute in-
volving the district attorney
in Wichita.
Then in June. Kline's
successor, Paul Morrison.
brought new charges against
Tiller, accusing him of not
getting the signature of a
second doctor before per-
forming late term abortions
Abortion opponents
complained that the charg-
es did not go far enough,
and took matters into their
own hands by pressing for a
grand jury.
"I am still looking for
justice." Gittrich said. "1 am
going to figure some way to
get justice."

I l!h ASSOCIATED PRESS
COMPTON, Calif Hil
lary Rodham Clinton and her
campaign tried to mend tics to
black voters Thursday when
a key supporter apologized to
her chief rival. Barack Obama,
tor comments that hinted at
Obama's drug use as a teen
ager The candidate herself,
meanwhile, praised the Rev.
Martin Luther King and prom
ised to assist with the rebirth
of this troubled, largely black
city.
Bob Johnson, the founder
of Black Entertainment Televi-
sion, apologized for comments
he made at a Clinton campaign
rally in South Carolina on Sun-
day that hinted at Obama s use
of drugs as a teenager Obama
is running to be the first black
president
Johnson initially denied
he was talking about Obama's
drug use. saying he was refer-
ring to the Illinois senator's
days as a community organiz-
er
Johnson backed away from
that explanation Thursday, two
days after Hillary Clinton said
during a nationally televised
debate that she considered his
comments "out of bounds"
"In my zeal to support
Senator Clinton. I made some
very inappropriate remarks for
which I am truly sorry," John-
son said in a written statement
"I hope that you will accept
this apology. Good luck on the
campaign trail ."
Johnson's comments and
remarks by both Clintons be-
fore the New Hampshire pri-
mary last week had alarmed
several black leaders and drew
a rebuke from Obama and his
top aides.
It began when Hillary
Clinton gave an interview in
which she seemed to discount
King's role in the civil rights
movement. Later, former Pres-
ident Clinton cast aspects of
Obama's candidacy as a "fairy
tale"
Obama and Clinton later
called a truce in the controver-
sy, and Clinton offered anoth-
er olive branch Thursday when
asked whether she would con-
sider choosing Obama as her
vice presidential running mate
"I can't think that far ahead
because it's bad luck, I'm very
superstitious, and I don't want
to be presumptuous," she said
"But he is an extraordinary
man and has so much to give
our country. I hope however
this works out he will be a ma-
jor figure in American politics
for years and years to come"
lohnson's apology and
Clinton's visit to Cornpton was
her latest effort to reconnect
with the black community af-
ter she and Obama engaged in
a bitter exchange of words over
the issue of race.

BRITISH AIRWAYS JET
CRASH-LANDS; 19 HURT
LONDON - A British
Airways jel from Beijing car-
rying 152 people crash-land-
ed Thursday, injuring 19 peo-
ple and causing more than
200 flights to be canceled at
Europe's busiest airport.
Investigators will speak
to the pilots and study the
plane's flight data recorder
and maintenance records to
determine what caused the
crash-landing at Heathrow
airport, tearing the plane's
underbelly and damaging its
wings
Nothing suggested it was
terror- related, Scotland Yard
said
Fire trucks surrounded
the Boeing 777 after it landed,
spraying fire retardant foam
around the aircraft. Two uf

were ripped from the crafl

SUICIDE BOMBER TARGETS
IRAQI SHIITES
BAGHDAD - A sui-
cide bomber struck Shiiies as
worshippers prepared Thurs-
day fur their most important
holiday, killing at least 1 1 at
a mosque in violent Diya
la province - one day after a
similar attack by a woman in
a nearby village.
Police and eyewitness-
es said one of the victims had
intercepted the bomber when
he saw him making his way
through the crowd. "Strang-
er, stranger," he shouted as he
grabbed the bomber, who in
stantly detonated the blast
A spike in bombings in
recent weeks is chipping away
at security gains made over
the past six months, when
levels of violence dropped na-
tionwide Many of the attacks
have targeted Sunn is who
have turned against the main
insurgent group, al Qaida, in
Iraq.
Authorities fear the Shiite
religious events - marking the
death of a 7th century Shiite
saint - could increasingly fall
into the crosshairs of Sunni
extremists.

The insurgents later aban-

SELF-DESTRUCTING PALM
TREE DISCOVERED IN
MADAGASCAR
ANTANANARIVO, Mad-
agascar - A self-destructing
palm tree that flowers once
every 100 years and then dies
has been discovered on the
Indian Ocean island of Mad
agascar, botanists said Thurs-
day
The name of the giant
palm and its remarkable life
cycle will be detailed in a
study by Kew Gardens scien-
tists in the Botanical journal
of the Linnean Society pub-
lished Thursday.
"It's spectacular It does
not flower for maybe 100
years, and when it's like this,
it can be mistaken for oth-
er types of palm," said Mijoro
Rakotoarinivo, who works for
the London botanical gardens
in Madagascar.
"But then a large shoot,
a bit like an asparagus, grows
out of the top of the tree and
starts to spread. You get some-

'Wilson's War' one of year's best films
"Walk Hard:
The Dewey Cox Story"
*iFpr**
Rtvlewi by Srtndin Pneg«t
After enduring the relentless stupidity of re-
cent spoof films like "Epic Movie" and "Date
Movie, I expected "Walk Hard; The Dewey
Cox Story" to set the bar a little higher
"Walk Hard" takes aim at recent mu-
sic bioska like "Walk the Line" and "Ray," by
following the fictional career of Dewey Cox
through the past few decades.
1 1 ili 11 C Re illy plays the title character
in mi ;ine 14 on, and it's a great performance by
a tragically underused actor
Kcilly also performs the bulk of the Rim's
soundtrack Most of the tunes are catchy, but
the attempts at punk rock and rap fall flat
Most of the scenes are ripped directly out
id Walk the Line." and the novelty wears off
quickly
The jokes arc hit and miss, and the ones
that are funny are beaten to death by the time
the t Ted its roll
Listening to Dewey's father say "the wrong
kid died" is only slightly funny the first time,
and it's almost painful by the 20th
As a comedy, "Walk Hard" isn't a com-
plete waste A constant parade of cameos keeps
things interesting.
1 h«.' teem with The Beatles alone will
ht worth the price of a rental once the DVD
comes out in a few months
If "Walk Hard 1 ' would have treated its
genre with respect rather than ridicule, then it
could h*w ended up in the pile of great spoof
films with "Shaun of the Dead" and "Blazing
Saddles" Instead, it ends up just a notch above
"Sean Movie."
"Charlie Wilson's War"
*****
Political thrillers can be dangerous
ground for filmmakers. Too much jargon tan
bore the audience, and endorsing specif-
ic policies can run the risk of alienating au-
dience members with a variety of political
views.
In "Charlie Wilson's War." director Mike
Nichols takes a more comedic approach to
the world of politics
Charlie Wilson (Tom Hanks) is a Tex-
as congressman whose achievements include
lots of drinking and getting re-elected.
When the communists invade Afghan-
istan, he teams up with a CIA. operative
(Philip Seymour Hoffman) and a Texas mil-
lionaire i full a Roberts) to conduct a covert
war
The plot, based on a true story, pro-
vides a wonderful playground for writer Aar-
on Sorkin, who worked on both "The West
Wing" and "An American President."
While Roberts' acting seems to lack en-
thusiasm, Hanks and Hoffman both hit all of
the right notes. Hoffman deserves to be on
more of the ye»r-end awards lists. His cyni-
cal performance is as good as any in his ca-
reer and provides reason enough to recom
mend the movie to anyone.
The pacing is wonderful, and the plot
shifts focus at the end to reveal several mis
lakes the United States made when leaving
Afghanistan.
It gives the audience something to think
about while leaving the theater, but it never
seems forced or out of place.
"Charlie Wilson's War" is easily one of
the year's best Catch it while you still can.
"I Am Legend"
*****
"t Am Legend," a mainstream movie
that relies heavily on special effects, seems
a bit out of place in theaters at this time
of year Most big-budget action and horror
films show up during the summer, but Will
Smith's latest adventure entertains enough
to justify its Oscar -season release date
Smith plays Robert Neville, a mil-
itary scientist living alone in New York
City. After a cure for cancer goes bad and
infects most of the human race, Neville
works alone to find a cure while evading
"dark seekers," violent humans infected by
the virus The plot evolves through several
flashbacks and unconventional storytelling
methods Newspaper clippings in aban-
doned homes help the audience piece to-
gether the events we never see on-screen
The scenes of Neville roaming the city are
impressive The attention to detail, from
the artwork in Neville's apartment to the
weeds growing in the streets make it easy
to immerse yourself in the film's environ-
ment.
Unfortunately, the computer- animat-
ed monsters are less believable Their hu-
man qualities have been stripped away
to barely resemble their former selves.
This might disappoint fans of Richard
M, 1 1 he son's novel, on which the film is
loosely based, but
it keeps the focus on Neville rather than
his enemies
Although the ending lacks the power
of the rest of the story, it's good enough to
make "I Am Legend" one of the most ex-
citing movies of the year.
"Sweeney Todd: The Demon Barber of Fleet Street"
*****
The prospect of a mur-
derous barber played by |ohn-
ny Depp was enough to get me
into the theater, but in the end.
"Sweeney Todd" fell well short
of my expectations
Depp plays Sweeney Todd,
a barber looking for revenge af-
ter an evil judge (Alan Rick-
man) sends him to prison and
steals his daughter.
He teams up with Mrs
Lovett (Helena Bonham Cart
er) to grind his victims into de-
licious meat pies.
Originally based on a
Broadway musical by Stephen
Sondheim, the premise seems
perfect for director Tim Burton.
"Sweeney Todd" is his sixth film
with Depp, and every second of
the film shows off his dark at-
mosphere and visual wizardry
Despite wonderful perfor-
mances, the plot takes a long
time to get going. The action
picks up once the killing begins,
but I felt bored at too many
points before the end.
The songs also began to
grate on my nerves They're
mostly well done, but I'm usu-
ally not a fan of musicals, so it
might be personal taste rath-
er than quality that turned me
away I can only recommend
"Sweeney Todd" to Broadway
fans with strong stomachs

ENTERTAINMENT BRIEFS
MATTHEW MCCON
AUGHEV TO BE A DAD
Matthew McConaughey
and girlfriend Camila Al

the actor an-
n o u n c e d
Tuesday on
his Website.
"My girl-
friend Cami
la and ] made
a baby to-
gether," Mc-
Conaughey McConaughav
writes "It's
three months
growin' in her womb, and
all looks healthy and live-

wowed by this miracle of cre-
ation and this gift from God.
and so excited for the adven
ture that will come in rais-

life"
BRAD RENFROS FORMER
LAWYER: 'WE ALL FAILED'
An autopsy is planned for
Thursday to determine what
caused troubled actor Brad
Renfro's untimely death, Los
Angeles County coroner offi-
cials said.
Meanwhile, his former
lawyer spoke out, saying the
news left her in tears,
Former Renfro defense
attorney Blair Berk, who rou-
tinely represents celebs bat-
tling substance abuse (includ-
ing Lindsay Lohan and Mel
Gibson), said there's some-
thing particularly tragic and
disturbing about the talented
actor's death at such a young
age
"As critical and prescient
as you become in this town,
all 1 did was cry when 1 heard
the news," Berk said "1 feel
in some respects like we all
failed."
BRITNEY SPEARS
SEEN SHOPPING FOR
PREGNANCY TEST
Britney Spears is mak-
ing more news - with a trip
to her local drug store.
The troubled pop star
and mother of two was pho-
tographed shopping for a
pregnancy test Tuesday at a
local Rite Aid store in Studio
City, Calif
Photos show Spears and
her new beau, 35 -year-old
Shotographer Adnan Ghat
>, at the store together, and
Spears scanning the shelves
of pregnancy tests.
The photos were released
by Ghalib's own photo agen
cy, FinalPixx.
All told, it's been anoth-
er week full of rumors involv-
ing Spears, who recently lost
visitation rights with her two
children. Jayden. 1, and Pres
ton, 2, after being hospital
fang,
As for a report that
Spears had written a suicide
note on the night of her melt-
down, "There was no suicide
note, and it's completely un
true that she tried to commit
suicide," her longtime friend
Sam l.uili said. "She is not
suicidal"
MARION JONES OPENS
UPTO OPRAH ABOUT HER
MISTAKES
In her first interview
since being sentenced to six
months in prison for lying
about her
steroid use
and check
fraud, Mar-
ion Jones
accepts re-
sponsibility
and said she
has no re-
grets
"1 think
that I ab-
solutely should have to ac-
cept responsibility for break-
ing the iaw," she says on the
Oprah Winfrey Show in an
episode airing Wednesday.
"I have no regrets for do-
ing what 1 did on October the
5th and pleading guilty and
admitting to the world that
I lied, that I've made mis-
takes"
After her October admis-
sion, Marion was stripped of
her Olympic medals - some
thing much easier to deal
with than the pain of upset-
ting her loved ones, she said.

RCPD | Police plan
to build extra cells
to combat crowding
Continued from Piqel
last year The current estimate
ii $15 million to $3 8 million.
and commissioners said they
expect the cost to continue to
rise
"The law says we have lo
provide the space, and (they
are) telling us Ithey) need it."
said Bob Newsoine, vice chair
of the Board of County Com-
missioners
Local architects Bruce
McMillan and Dan Rowe arc
in charge of designing the ad-
dition, which will solve several
problems.
RCPD Captain [eff Hoop-
er said the new facility will in
elude 32 beds Ten will serve
as medical cells, ten will be
special-needs cells, and twelve
will function as maximum-se
curlty cells
RCPD Director Bradley
Schoen said one reason the
jail is running out of room is
because criminals are not per-
mitted (o live in cells with oth
er criminals convicted of dif-
ferent offenses
"An inmate has to be clas-
sified according lo a certain
criteria when they come in."
said Schoen "The degree of
danger they pose to the staff
and each olher. whether they
have histories of violence ancL
the type of offense they com
milted [are all factors)"
Hooper explained that the
maximum -security areas are
full, so some inmates normal-
ly kept in a maxim urn -security
area are in a medium security
area
This also affects the medi
um security prisoners, forcing
them into an area of minimum
security
Rowe said the facility will
be completed without having
lo move inmates, which w«<
one of Hooper's primary eon
eerns
Hooper explained to the
board that the overall popu-
lation of the jail has exceeded
the population projected a few
years ago
"It's fuller than projections
supposed they would be in this
point in its life." Schoen said
"We're bumping up against the
number that we can reason-
ably hold."
The addition will be vot-
ed on at a Law Enforcement
Agency meeting at noon on
Tuesday in City Hall

KSU Horse Judging team wins world championship
ByRyneWItt
KANSAS STATfc DILI H,IAN
When, most people
think of successful K- State
team, one of the basketball
teams or the volleyball team
might come to mind How-
ever, there is one successful
team not even in the realm
of althetics that often goes
unnoticed. It is the KSU
Horse Judging team.
Horse judging is a com
petition based on overall
points, and competitors re-
ceive those points by rank-
ing and giving reasons to
support those rankings.
The KSU Horse Edg-
ing team has been one uf
the most successful K-Slate
teams this year. How suc-
cessful ? How about world
champions The team won
the title at the American
Quarter Horse Associa-
tion World Championship
Show collegiate team-judg-
ing competition in Ok la ho
ma City in November 2007,
canning K-State a world
championship
"Extremely proud," said
|ulie Voge, the team's coach,
of winning the world cham-
pionships "It's a great feel
ing to know that you have
been involved with nine
students that have worked
their butts off all year and
came away with a great vie
tory"
THE TEAM
This year the team
had nine members: Kindra
Gradert, Leo Becker Bil-
ly Brown, Heather Prisch,
Kaitlyn Crow, Kally Hood,
Kay la Lee. Anna Pest a and
Rachel Sherck
They work year round
to improve their skills and it
shows .Voge said.
"SotM schools go there
and kind of show up," Voge
said "It is reflected in the
overall score."
She also said that Col-
orado State, West Texas
A&M. Middle Tennessee
State and Texas Tech are
some of the main compet-
itors every year This year,
K-State beat the second-
place team by 92 points in
the world championship.

Ice-T engages audience with personal stories for MLK Day
iotlyn Brown | CO] 1 fil ,IAS
Rapper/actor k«-T speaks as part of the Alpha Phi Alpha Martin Luther
King Jr. candlelight vigil celebration in Forum Hall.
By Eric Davis
KANSAS SUn COUBCUM
Tracy Marrow, belter
known as the gangster rapper
and actor Icc-T endorsed Ba-
rack Obama. told the story of
his early gang days and con-
fessed his love for all-things
bootlegged Monday night in
Forum Hall
Marrow was the keynote
speaker at the annual Alpha
Phi Alpha lecture remember-
ing the life and civil rights
achievement of Martin Luther
King Jr. Day and candlelight
vigil Monday night in Forum
hall
The lecture started at
7:30 but a line stretching up
a flight of stairs and past the
food court showed the general
public was anxious to see the
star speak
Marrow became famous
as a west -coast rapper and lat-
er built on that fame by ap-
pearing in movies like "New
jack City" and TV shows in-
cluding "Law & Order: Spe-
cial Victims Unit,"
Alpha Phi Alpha fraternity
received help from the Union
Program Council, Leadership
Studies & Programs and the
Student Governing Associa-
tion who gave the $20,000
needed to bring the star in
"We thought he would
deliver a strong message," said
Careem Gladney. senior in fi-
nance and president of the At
pha Phi Alpha fraternity "He
had a troubled past being a
former gang member and an
orphan. So we thought that
he would be able to give mu
tivating words to college stu-
dents"
Though his rap career is
no longer Marrow's main fo-
cus, his onstage persona has
not changed much over the
years. The same contempt for
police brutality and the gov-
ernment still shines through,
and Marrow now has calm, al -
most respectful statements to
make about the law-enforce-
ment community
"I respect cops." Marrow
said "'Cop Killer' [Marrow's
controversial gangster rap
song, released in 1992] wasn't
a record against police, it was
a record against police brutal
ity"
Marrow said he chose to
make the album a rock record
because he felt the message of
(he song was geared toward
the rock genre.
The controversial rock a I
bum released by Marrow band
Body Count entitled "Cop
Killer." was also a topic Mar-
row discussed.
Other topics addressed
by the rapper included every
thing from advice lo parents
to insights on the personal life
of former rapper and friend,
TuPac Shakur
One mother asked Mar-
row what he would say to
her young son who is torn be-
tween two different groups of
friends
"1 know this sounds
corny," Marrow said, "but lis-
ten to your mother She might
be the only person that loves
you one day."
Even though Marrow
was speaking in remembrance
of Dr King, the main topics
seemed to be the career and
life of the rapper
Despite the lack of dis-
cussion of serious modern day
civil rights movements, the
crowd was receptive of the
message being conveyed by
Marrow

1973: U5. SUPREME COURT LEGALIZES ABORTION
in a hlstorrc decision, the U.S. Supreme Court ruled m floe v, Wade that women, as pari of
their constitutional right to privacy, can terminate a pregnancy during its first two tr.mesters Only
during the last trimester, when the fetus can survive outside the womb, would states be permirtgr-
to regulate abortion of a healthy pregnancy, J *
The controversial ruling, essentially reversing a century of anti-abortion legislation in the
United Mates, was the result ot a call by many American women for control over their own repro^
ductlve processes. Although defended by the Supreme Court on several occasions, the legallia »
tion of abortion became a divisive and intensely emotional public issue. •»

KANSAS viaihiahiHjIan
The Manhattan Martin
Luther King Memorial Com-
mittee celebrated Martin Lu-
ther King Jr Day of remem-
brance with a Saturday night
service at Manhattan High's
East Campus Auditorium
|im Spencer, chairman
of the committee, and other
members organized a plellm
ra of entertainers. He said or-
ganizing the event took many
hours of preparation,
"We work hard all year
long," Spencer said. "We start-
ed planning in April 2007"
A percussion perfor-
mance started off the show
As the night progressed, sev-
eral more forms of talent were
demonstrated.
Andy Bell played the alto
saxophone while accompa-
nied by Greg Stephens on pi-
ano. They played "Amazing
Grace" and Grover Washing-
Ion Jr.'s "Sad Song."
"1 really appreciate the
opportunity to come out and
be a part of the celebration."
Bell said.
Following Bell was a
band performance by The In-
cinerated Windsock Quartet
"1 think everybody en-
joyed it," said Aliyah Ste-
phens, lead vocalist and gui-
tarist of the group "I thought
we picked appropriate
songs."
Stephens said the group
formed more than a year ago
and now tours Aggie vi lie bars
with 10 to 15 original songs
Spencer said he thought
the highlight of the show was
the speech given by Diversity
Coordinator for Manhattan-
Ogden USD 383 Tiffany Pow-
ell
Powell spoke about dis-
crimination in schools be-
tween teachers and students
She said discrimination still
exists and that one of her
goals as diversity coordina
tor was to eradicate the prob-
lem. After the speech, she an-
swered several questions from
the audience. Stephanie
Sharp of the Manhattan Chris
tian College Dancers took the
stage next and showed off her
dancing talents, followed by a
poem read by Spencer.
After the event, members
of the committee and attend-

candle memorial walk to the

in food court Monday at the Manhattan Town Center

King Jr. Day at to a.m. Monday at the Manhattan Town Center. The group practices at least twice a month
for performances in the community.

Drums and loud music
might have distracted curi-
ous shoppers at the Manhat-
tan Town Center on Mon
day The Manhattan Martin
Luther King Memorial Com-
mittee organized an event to
celebrate the national hol-
iday with music, dancing,
singing and a variety of oth-
er shows of talent.
The theme for the event
was "A Day On, Not A Day
Off" The event began at 10
am in the mall food court
and continued until 4 pm
Twenty to 30 people at-
tended at the beginning, and
by 11. about 100 people had
sniped to enjoy the musical
performances
"It's more crowded than
past years," said Kalhy Sw-
enson. first grade teacher at
Manhattan Ogden USD 583,
Swenson said she attends the
event every year and occasion
ally has students involved.
One of the notable per
formances was by a group
called Expressions of Praise.
The group danced to a few
songs with pa in led -white fac-
es in a style that represented
emotional extremes
"It was very involving,"
Swenson said
Several other dance
groups performed throughout
the day, each with a different
style
At about midday, several
awards were announced
Author Geraldine Wa]
ton received one of two
Spirit of Martin Luther King
Service Awards presented
by James Hardy, trustee of
the Manhattan Community
Foundation
"Anyone who's anyone
in Manhattan knows Gerry
Walton." Hardy said during
the announcement
Waltun said she learned
the importance of commu-
nity early in her life and she
knew she wanted (o make
something of herself
"All you have to do is
keep trying," Walton said
during her acceptance-
speech
The other recipient was
the Rev Don Fallon. Fallon
said it came as a surprise to
him that he was chosen for
the award
He served K State's
campus as a minister far 30
years before retiring in May
2007 The win-
ners of the King Art and Es-
say Contest also were an-
nounced. Only 17 submitted
were selected out of 250 en-
tries
"This is a very impor-
tant event for the commu-
nity," Swenson said "It lets
you revitalize every year"

Famous explorer bettered
the world with generosity
atop
When Sir Edmund
Hillary died earlier this
month, the world lost not
only a brave ad-
venturer but a hu-
manitarian and
inspiring person-
ality
To some, Hil-
lary is known
only for the first
line of his Ian 1 1
obituary in The
New York Times:
on May 29. 1955.
he and Nepalese
climber Tenzing
Nurgay became the firs)
humans known to reach
the summit of Mount
Everest at 29,035 feet
above sea level
On Jan ILTheLon
don limes reported Hil-
lary was a citizen of New
Zealand by birth and a
beekeeper by trade He
was a towering man - 6
feet, 5 inches tall - whose
physical accomplishments
rightfully earned him the
title of world explorer.
According to his book,
"The Ascent of Everest,"
by the time he climbed to
the summit in 1953. he al
ready had scaled II oth-
er peaks of more than
20,000 feel in the Himala-
yas. He crossed Antarcti-
ca and reached the South
Pole in 1958, and wrote
about the experience
in his book, "No Lati-
tude for Error'' In 1985
he landed a plane at the
North Pole and became
the first man to complete
the hat trick of standing
at both poles and Ihe top
of Everest
Besides conquer-
ing Earth's most hazard
ous climates, Hillary also
chose to fill his life with
service to others. He was
a member of the Roy-
al New Zealand air force
during World War
1 1 . New Zealand's
ambassador to In-
dia, Bangladesh
and Nepal; presi
dent o( his coun-
try s Peace Corps;
and founder of the
Sir Edmund Hil-
lary Himalayan
Trust
Hillary's lorgot
ten legacy - and
maybe his most
important - was his role
as a conservationist and
philanthropist His ef-
forts led Nepal to estab-
lish the area surround-
ing Mount Everest as
a national park The
London Times report-
ed his foundation built
26 schools, more roads
and health clinics in
Nepal
Hillary has been
the hero of ambitious
mountain climbers the
world over, as well as
children who learn his
name and would-be
adventurers who live
in nature and attempt to
tame it But Hillary prob-
ably hoped he would
be remembered for the
mountain he worked so
hard to preserve, by the
schoolchildren who study
in the buildings his foun-
dation built and in honor
of his respect for the envi
roil merit.
Hillary, humble and
hardworking, showed
us big achievements arc
not out of reach. Few of
us will climb the world's
highest mountain or ac-
complish similar feats of
incredible strength and
endurance, but what
ever our goals and as
pirations, Hillary empha-
sized the most important
factors in success are de-
sire and personal com-
mitment He reminded us
that, "It is not the moun
tain we conquer, but our
selves"
He used his fame as
a renowned explorer not
to advance his own par
tfculu agenda but
to raise iwtmM ol
the social economic, en-
vironmental and health
conditions in Nepal. Af-
ilt Hillary reached the
top nf Eveml in May
1953. doing what so many
had called impossible.

The awards and their re

ner No red carpet, no |oan
Rivers - just an hour of un
ceremonious presentation
This marks the first great
bailie ol the writers' strike,
resulting in a veritable stand-
still of Hollywood activity
With the backbone of
the entertainment industry
standing in picket lines and
writing scathing blog en-
tries, there was no one to fill

or any of the other speech-

filled with

The greatest award
show on nun cable TV
could suffer the worst blow
in its history
Last year it was an
nuunced that the Oscars
were "going green " This
year il seems they will be
going nowhere
But what about the
shows that are somehow
still running, like "The Dai
ly Show" or "The Late Show
with David Letlerman"?
Lelterman's production
company signed a strike
waiver, according to Time
sOnlinecom, and "The Dai-
ly Show" is running without
writers and makes almost
constant cracks about the
lack of direction.
It would seem this
couldn't last much longer.
Huge amounts of money
are being lost daily on each
side of the picket line The
studios have to be getting
queasy, and for the most
part the writers will actually
be hungry soon.
The Oscars probably
will go on as they have for
the past 80 years, though
deals will have to be made
while this is going on - as
writers don't make mun
ey and producers lose it -
as we learn it shows us that
everyone, big and small, is
mad about something

Popular Aggieville coffeehouse
displays local artists' talent
ByJoeVossen
KANSAS STATE COLLEGIAN
At Radina's Coffeehouse
and Roast ery, the Java shop in
Aggieville thats faithful clien-
tele calls comfortable and cuol,
the draw is more than great
coffees and breads
Radina's features different
artists each month, displaying
their work prominently on the
walls Pieces can be admired
and purchased by customers.
Artist Fred Rohs, a native
of Manhattan, is showcasing
his art at Radina's. Rohs gradu-
ated from K-State in 1993 with
a bachelor's degree in fine arts.
and now lives in MaryviUe,
Mo , with his wife
Rohs said art has been a
lifelong passion for him He
said he has been drawing and
sketching since he was old
enough to hold a pencil He
said the art of the 2- D surface
always has been his main inter
est, and paint became his favor-
ite medium Through the years,
he said his art has been shown
in a variety of unorthodox ven-
ues-
Mv work has also been
shown at other coffee shops, an
optometry office and galleries
in Kansas City and MaryviUe,"
he said "I operated my own
gallery here in MaryviUe for
about three years."
Stepping into Radina's, it
is hard not to notice his paint-
ings The pieces, some several
feet in height, stand out with
striking colors and unusual im-
ages. Rohs is hesitant to cate-
gorize his art, but says he some
times calls his works " nonrep-
resented onal optical art"
"People want to call it ab
street art. but abstract art actu-
ally starts with realism, some
thing tangible, and in my art I
really don't start with any mam
object," Rohs said "I think you
can see that in my paintings

and their titles. They're very
unrevealing."
Most of his works on dis-
play at Radina's are acrylics
painted on canvas A lew piec
es on paper and one oil paint
ing also can be seen. With such
visual complexity in his work,
it is no surprise how much time
and energy Rohs invest*
"1 do each painting by
hand - it can be pretty metic-
ulous One of the larger paint-
ings took me about 200 hours,"
he said "l try to make [my art]
visually striking. I try to take
the shapes and images I lay
er and use color and composi-
tion to make it visually interest-
ing. There is an initial impact
of colors that jump at you, but
then you notice other things
about it you didn't initially"
Rohs cited painters )osef
Albers, Larry Poons, and Was-
sily Kandinsky as artistic in
spiration In addition, certain
styles have played a role in his
development as an artist, he
said.
"I've always been drawn
to graphic art, comic books,
graphic advertising and pop art
and that comes through in my
paintings," he said
Annette Radina, wife of
the coffeeshop's owner Wade
Radina, said the artists cho-
sen to display their work each
month are a mix of alumni, stu-
dents and community mem-
bers
"We just want to give peo-
ple a chance to show their
work," she said There are a lot
of artists out there who would
like to show it but don't know
where to go. We try to be ac-
cessible to as many people as
possible."
The artists might appre-
ciate the opportunity to show
their work in public, but it is
there for the customers to en-
joy as well
"This particular show is
interesting," said Len McDon-
ald, a Radina's regular. "It has
a wonderful complexity and
movement. The craftsmanship
of these particular pieces is bet-
ter than the norm."
The paintings of K State
alumnus Fred Rohs will be on
display at Radina's through
January.

Commission to vote on intersection
construction, cheap housing tonight
By Corent Bmcndin*
KANSAS STATE COLLEUIAN
Commissioners wilt dis-
cuss intersection improve-
ments and affordable hous-
ing development tonight at
the city commission meet-
ing.
The commissioners will
vote on proposed improve-
ments to the intersection at
U.S. Highway 24 and Mar
latl Avenue. The proposition
includes dedicated turning
lanes, traffic lights and the
aligning of Marlatt Avenue
according to the agenda.
Along with moving pow
er, water and sewer lines, the
proposition includes how
much monetary com pens a
tion the city will appropri
ate to private citizens for the
property that must be pur-
chased to allow for the right
of way because of the enlarge
ment of the intersection, said
Commissioner Bruce Snead
"It has been a high ac
cident intersection." Snead
said
Other roads in town un-
der development include
Fort Riley Boulevard, Davis
Drive and the intersection of
Juliette and Bluemont Ave-
nues, he said
The second agenda item
concerns the Manhattan
Area Housing Partnership
The MAHP requests the
city's support ol the MAHP
application to the State of
Kansas fur tax credits and
other funding to build more
affordable housing in Man-
hattan.
If approved, the MAHP
will receive $1,227,000 from
the state to build four du
plexes to house a total of
eight families who qualify as
low income, Snead said
He also said the units
each will include three bed
rooms and a two-car garage.
The MAHP already has com
pleted 12 homes and one
apartment complex in the
Manhattan area.
"I think it is very likely
the commission will support
the resolution as it has sup
ported [MAHP) in the past."
Snead said
Snead also said he want
ed the community to be
aware that the commission
will schedule a public hear
ing to discuss a bond propos
al that would fund 39 spe-
cial projects around Man-
hattan, The projects include
street, sewer, and water-line
improvements and develop-
ment The hearing will be on

K-State claws past No. 9 A&M to 2-0 Big 12 record
By Wendy Haun
UHUS STATS CQUSGIAN
When senior guard Clent Stewart's
over -t he-back rebound nearly went in
the hoop, that's when coach Frank Mar-
tin knew
"When 1 saw him throw the ball over
his shoulder and that ball almost goes
in ... I turned to my staff and said, 'You
know what, guys'' I don't care what hap
pens We aren't losing lunight," Martin
said.
After junior forward Andre Gilbert
cleaned up the rebound with an easy
layup, K State (12 4, 2 Big 12 Confer
enee) was looking at an 18- point leud
over the No. 10 team in the country with
less than two minutes left in regulation.
Three Wildcats finished the 75*54
rout in double figures: freshman forward
Michael Beasley. who had 21 points;
freshman forward Bill Walker, with 19
points, and Stewart, who chipped in It)
Walker's 19 points included five of 10
from beyond the arc and netted him a Big
12 Rookie of the Week honor for the sec-
ond time this season.
"Bill has an incredible will," Martin
said "He's an unbelievable competitor
He's taken on the challenge of leading
our basketball team right now He's be-
come our voice. He's doing a heck of a
job of bringing it and practicing the right
way and that's translating to success for
him on the court and success for us"
The leading rebounder was senior
guard Blake Young, who had nine re-
bounds
"Blake plays with a lot of energy,"
Stewart said "You can see his quick
ness on the court When you're out there
playing with guys who play that hard.
you stick out like a sore thumb when you
don't play as hard as them. He's all over
the place for us, defensively and offen-
sively He's a senior, so he's been around,
and he knows what to do and how to win
the game "
Texas A&M (15 1. 1-2 Big 12) shot
abysmally in the second half, only MW
ing 26 percent of the time from the floor,
including one of six from 1 point range
The Aggies were led in scoring by junior
forward [osh Carter, who had 13 points
Also scoring in double figures were
senior center Joseph |ones : who had 12
points, and sophomore guard Donald
Sloan, who had 10. The Aggies' lead-
ing rebounder was freshman center De-

WOMEN'S TENNIS
Coach Bietau
pleased with
team's effort
in Georgia
By Tyltr Sharp
KANSAS STATE COLLEGIA N
The K-State women's
tennis team began its 2008
spring season with some pos-
itive efforts at the Georgia
Invitational
"I thought we had some
good performances," coach
Steve Bietau said "It was our
last chance to get our act to-
gether before dual match-
es and to play without team
scoring. I was generally
pleased."
In doubles action, K
State's best performances
came on the last day against
Troy Last year's top doubles
team of senior Olga Klimo-
va and junior Katerina Kud-
lackova registered an SI
win over Annabellc Bares
and Stephanie Vieira eve-
ning their 2008 record at 1-1.
In other matches, the teams
of sophomore Natasha Viei-
ra and senior Viviana Yrureta
and freshmen Vanessa Cottin
and Pauline Guemas were
also victorious.
Sunday's results were in
stark contrast to the doubles
matches Friday and Saturday
Against Georgia and Mis-
sissippi State, K State were
swept by wide margins
"1 don't know that the
performance changed a lot,"
Bietau said of the team's ef-
fort. "The level of competi-
tion was the main difference
It's important to remember
that this is the first time out
[this year] and the play is of
ten ragged The weekend's at
titude was good but the qual-
ity of play needs to improve."
Freshman An tea Huljev
provided the bright spot
at singles for the Wild-
cats. Huljev, who hails from
Vclenje, Slovenia, defeated
Troy's Arres Marine 7-5, 6-3
on Saturday
On Sunday, she topped
Mississippi State's Elizabeth
Hall, 6-4, 6
Despite her performance,
Bietau said there is still much
to be desired by her perfor-
mance.
"I'm not very happy," Bi-
etau said, "It's never a bad
thing when you win two
matches, and the play im-
proved as the weekend went
on. But the play can be much
better."
The team must now pre-
pare for the transition to dual
matches from tournament
play
"The big difference will
be the players not playing
just for themselves," Bielau
said, "When we start all du
als, all points count for the
team"
Three home matches
also await the Wildcats, who
have yet to play at home. The
dual play action will begin at
10 am Feb 2 when Syracuse
visits Ahearn Field House.
"We're always glad to
play at home," Bietau said
"Ahearn 's been good to us
We have a week to prepare
and hopefully we'll be ready
to be go by then."
Bietau said the experi-
ence was beneficial to the
overlying issues still facing
the team.
"We have a long ways
to go and - second - clear-
ly have things to build on,"
he said. "It was (ust a good
chance to get on the court
and work. That was the main
thing this weekend "

The report on Senior David
Hoskins' knee is finally in: the se-

Hoskins, who injured his knee
prior to this season while playing
in a Pro- Am tournament in August.
was going to be back in action at
the beginning of the season, but re-
injured his knee in practice in Oc-
tober He will have meniscal trans-
plant surgery Feb 1 in Chicago
The surgery is a new proce
dure and involves transplanting
tissue from a dead body. A match
for Hoskins knee has been found
The expected time of recov
cry is eight months, according to a
press release.
Last year for the Wildcats,
Hoskins averaged 14 5 points per
game and usually had almost six
rebounds per game
"This is an extremely sad day
for David and for our basketball
program," Wildcat coach Frank
Martin said "However. David will
be in our thoughts and prayers as
he goes through the surgery and
the rehabilitation He deserved
better than this, but I am confi-
dent that he will grow and become
a better person from this experi-
ence."

JUDGING | Diversity, recruiting
brought team to championship
Continued frwnPjgel
The overall dynamics of
the group was diverse with two
team members from out-of-
state. Gradert from Cambridge.
III., and Pest a from Oakburo,
N C However, the majority of
the team is comprised of stu-
dents in the agriculture depart-
ment. Sherck. junior in Eng-
lish, is the only member major
ing outside of the department
But the team wasn't one that let
those differences gel in the way
of winning
"Everybody really did
make a big effort to help ev-
eryone get better." Sherck said
'Thai just created an atmo-
sphere that helps me learn"
WORLD CHAMPIONSHIP
The team overall won the
world championship, but there
was one individual who rose
above the rest and won the in-
dividual world championship -
Gradert.
The Illinois native found
her way to K Slate through
Black Hawk College: East Cam-
pus, which is known for horse
judging. She placed first overall
in Oklahoma City, beating out
teammate Sherck for the award
of World Champion
"I was excited lhat every-
one did so well," Gradert said
of the world championships "It
was definitely one of the best
things in my life."
Gradert. senior in animal
science, grew up around hors-
es, and she said horse judging
became one of the most impor-
tant things to her
"It has been the most pas
sionatc thing in my life." she
said "This past fall, the thought
that kept running through my
mind was thai I wish I could
take the fall off [of classes] and
only judge."
THE COACH
Voge has coached the
horse judging team al K- Stale
for 10 years, but this was her fi-
nal year She is leaving the team
in the hands of Gradert and
others to carry on the tradition,
she said.
"We've been World Cham-
pion twice and reverse world
champion twice." Voge said of
the accomplishments of the
team since she had been there
Voge started judging hors-
es at a young age Her dad was
her coach and stayed with it
throughout her whole life She.
like Gradert, went to Black
Hawk College: East Campus
and then went on to Oklahoma
State before coming to K State
to get her master's degree and
coach.
Voge is the one in charge
of recruiting - which is mainly
with students on campus - and
helping everyone on the team,
whether it is getting acclimat-
ed to being away from home
or just working wilh the horse
judging team, said Gradert and
Sherck.
That is why ending her
coaching career on a high note
is something that Voge said she
really wanted
"Since it was my last year
here, I recruited pretty heavily
to build a kind of legacy to end
wiili," she said.
Though Voge is gone, she
will be on the minds of her for-
mer judges
"|ulie Voge is by far one
of the strongest women I have
ever met," Gradert said. "She
is a great coach and extreme
ly smart. Having her as a friend
and as a coach has been an ex-
treme privilege"

important for the bacteria's sur
viva I, which means they have
evolved with their adjustment
to different host environments.
"This may be a common
theme," Ganta said "It's a com-
mon thread and a common ap-
proach thai many of these vec-
tor- borne pathogens use So thai
means we have a much wid-
er application and understand-
ing in having control methods if
we know how the vector borne
pathogens have adapted to dif-
ferent host environments"
A vector- bo me pathogen
is transmitted by invertebrate
hosts like ticks and mosquitos
The bacteria live inside the In-
vertebrate and then are txans
mitted to vertebrae like dogs,
cattle and humans, Ganta said.
Ehrlichia chaffeensis was
discovered first in 1987 as a
human pathogen, Ganta said
About 300-500 cases were diag
nosed each year after the initial
diagnosis, but those cases only
represent the reported cases, he
said
Ganta said survey research
in Missouri and Tennessee sug-
gests lhat as many as 50,000
U.S. cases arise each year It can
kill about 3 percent of ihose- in-
fected: elderly, children and
those with compromised im
mune systems can be infected
severely, Ganta said
"Not all of the cases are re
ported because most of the clin-
ical symptoms of the disease are
very similar to a typical viral in
fee tk m," he said. "So people of-
ten don't know they have this
particular pathogen infection,"
Before the discovery of Eh-
rlichia chaffeensis in I9tt7, there
were similar pathogens in ani-
mals like dogs and cattle, Gan-
ta said. Because these patho-
gens can cause infection in
humans as well, funding agen-
cies' interest has increased, he
said.
"But the bottom line is
thai we still have a lot to learn
and more research needs to be
done." Ganta said
Ganta has researched vec
tor-borne pathogens - his ma
jor focus - since 1990. He ini-
tially started his research on an-
other animal pathogen called
babesia. which ticks transmit to
cattle He also has researched
malaria, a vector-borne patho
gen from mosquitos to hu
mans.
That was the driving force
initially." Ganta said "1 was in
terested in human infections
transmmeil
Ganta received his doctor-
ate in biochemistry from All In-
dia Institute of Medical Science
in 1987 Molecular biology is a
branch of biochemistry where
Ganta said he expanded his re-
search strengths
During the last five years,
Ganta s research team has
worked with a different feder-
al grant in collaboration with
Keith Chapes, professor of bi-
ology The grant also totaled
about $1.8 million from the Na-
iioiuiI Institutes of Health
Research with the first
grant is ongoing, and Gan-
ta said researchers plan to ap-
proach federal agents for addi-
tional funding.
During tru current five-
year study, four graduate stu-
dents, three postdoctoral stu-
dents and two microbiologists
will conduct research.
"This is a vehicle by which
I can train several graduate stu
dents and the scientists," Ganta
said. "We are developing a fu-
ture force of scientists, so thai
means we are contributing not
just for this project but for the
professional development of a
number of students and scion
lists"
Kendra Siebert, doctor-
al student in genetics and mo-
lecular biology, is developing a
Iransposo n -based element sys-
tem Transposon is a segment
of DNA that is capable of in-
serting copies of itself into oth-
er DNA sites within the same
cell, according to the Random
House Unabridged Dictionary.
Wilh her particular re-
search focus, Siebert said she
aims to identify within the bac
leria what gives them the ability
to adapt and survive within dif-
ferent host environments
Using a broad approach
and genetic protein blueprint.
Siebert said she wants to find
how the bacteria are able to
survive Ganta said if Siebert's
research makes a mutation, it
failed to make one of the func-
tional proteins, which means
that Ihe bacteria no longer
grows in the ticks.
' Vim can have a mutation
that will grow in one of the cell
backgrounds, but it won't grow
in another," Siebert said.
Siebert's research uses a
random process to find the nec-
essary proteins She said the
proteins can be used as a mech-
anism to stop growths in their
life cycles.
I'm still in the initial stag-
es of trying to get the system
to work." she said. "1 haven't
found any mutations yet "

Before Saturday's game.
Dietz was honored as the
33rd player in Wildcat wom-
en's basketball history to re-
cord 1,000 points in a K
State uniform Dietz said
the victory over the Bulla
loes was a little bit sweeter
for her, not only because it
was her inaugural game af-
ter passing the 1,000 career
points barrier, but because
she is also a native of Boul-
der, Colo
"No matter who it is,
we just keep fighting," Dietz
said "ll feels great to beat
them since it was Ihe school
1 grew up rooting for, but it
was extra special because my
family was able to be here"
The K State women are
on a seven -game winning
streak and have started Big
12 Conference play 4-0 for
the first lime since the 2003-
04 campaign, a season in
which they went 14-2 in con-
ference play-
Colorado coach Kathy
MeConnell Miller said she
hasn't seen all the top learns
in the country, but based on
the Wildcats* performance
in Saturday's game, she said
she has a strong opinion on
where K State stands com-
pared to the best in Ihe na-
tion
"KSU has the character
istics of a Top-25 team," Mc-
Conncll-Miller said "If you
can go 4-0 in ihis league, you
should be a Top-25 team "
K State is off until
Wednesday when the Wild-
cats are host to Iowa State
and look to go 5-0 in Ihe
conference. The Cyclones
raise big concerns for Patter
son though they have been
decimated by injuries so far
this year
"They are seasoned com-
petitors." Patterson said "It
doesn't matter who's on the
roster or who they lose - it's

STRIKE | Lack of new TV material
becoming old for strike supporters
Continued from Ptq* 10
"The negotiations did
not break down over new
media issues." according to
the AMPTP statement "In-
stead, the negotiations broke
down primarily over one of
the must old fashioned is-
sues of all; The desire of
the WGA's organizers to in
crease their own power and
prestige by expanding the ju-
risdiction of the union over
reality television and ani-
mation writers. These juris
dictional expansion efforts
have very little to do with
the concerns of the working
writers who are on strike"
The WGA strike has
cost writers more than $220
million as of Monday af-
ternoon, according to the
AMPTP's Web site The es-
timated losses are based on
data that WGA West sup-
plied on initial compensa-
tion paid to its members in
2006, according to the Web
site
The AMPTP Web site
also estimates more than
$380 million in wages lost
for Los Angeles Interna
initial Alliance of Theatri-
cal Stage Employees crew
members as of Monday af-
ternoon. The crew members'
losses are estimated from
an analysis of contributions

Striking a deal

Scott Rosenbaum put

12,000 members in the

who went on strike and as-
sumed picket duty on Nov
5, 2007
He said writers were
asked to picket 15 hours
a week at the strike's start,
and he now pickets 12
hours a week No picket-
ing has taken place on Fri
days, instead, Rosenbaum
said Guild and strike-cap
tain meetings take place
Writers also were assigned
to groups of about 1 5 oth-
er writers and dissent in at
ed information among one
another, Rosenbaum said
"As writers, we're the
creators of the content,"
Rosenbaum said "What
we've had to fight for very
hard over the last 60 years
is the right to, when some-
thing is created, we're able
to share in some piece of
the profit of it "
A TENTATIVE
AGREEMENT
The Alliance of Mo-
lion Picture and Television
Producers and the Direc-
tors Guild of America re
leased a joint statement on
Thursday about a tentative
agreement
"Our industry's cre-
ative talent will now par-
ticipate financially in every
emerging area of new me-
dia," according to a state-
ment at www.amptp.org.
"The agreement demon-
strates beyond any doubt
that our industry's produc
ers are willing and able to
work with I he
creators of en-
tertainment content lo es-
tablish (air and flexible
rules for this fast-changing
marketplace"
The Directors Guild of
America's tentative agree-
ment includes wage and
residual increases, health
care contributions and
other provisions affecting
assistant directors, accord-
ing lo a fact sheet posted
Thursday at wwwdgaorg
The tentative agree-
ment also addresses ju-
risdiction over new me-
dia, including original con-
tent, paid downloads and
advertisement-support i ii£
streaming The tentative
agreement's sunset pro-
vision would allow both
sides to revisit new media

three months of negotia-
tions thai started m |uly
2007, ihe strike followed
a gridlock with writers' in-
sistence on an increase in
their residuals payments,
according to a New York
Times Nov 2, 2007, article
The last industrywide
writers' strike look place in
garding Contract 2007 ne-
gotiations:
- No jurisdiction for
most of new-media writ
ing;
- No economic pro
posal for the part of new-
media writing where they
do propose lo give cov-
erage; Internet down
loads at the DVD rate;
• No residual for
streaming video of theat-
rical product;
- A "promotional"
proposal that allows them
to reuse even complete
movies or TV shows on
any platform with no re-
sidual;
- A "window" of free
reuse on the Internet
"Because Ihe Internet
was not something thai
really existed in a form
that people were making
money off of it during the
last contract negotiation,
the writers had nothing in
writing that said we'd be
able lo partake in residu-
als on the Internet or new
media or have any cre-
ative rights," Rosenbaum
said
According lo a Dec.
10, 2007, statement on

ous WGA spokes peo-
ple claimed the strike is
about sharing the revenue

(MUSIC REVIEWS
Leftover 2007 albums provide oasis in first-of-the-year release drought
Reviews by Mark Si bill*
The first few months of
the year often are a depressing
time for entertainment. The
awards season is in full swing.
and studios and record com-
panies already have released
any movies or music of any
worth in hopes they have cre-
ated enough buzz to garner a
coveted Golden Globe, Acad-
emy Award or Grammy
Even with the absence
of awards shows because of
the Writer's Guild of Amer
lea strike, the release sched-
ules for January, February and
March luuk pretty anemic as
far as new music releases
Instead of looking to the
future, I propusc looking to
the past for some great albums
from 2007 that barely missed
my annual Top 10 list
Here are five albums, in
no particular order, that de
serve a second look, and they
ought to hold yuu over un-
til the 2008 release schedule
heats up in the spring
FEIST, "THE REMINDER"
Canadian singer-song-
writer Leslie Feist has made
a splash in the indie- music
world with her involvement
in the in die -rock supergroup
Broken Social Scene and the
release of her ambitious 2004
album. "Let It Die" Howev
er. Feist began her journey to
becoming a household name
with her major label debut,
The Reminder" An eclec-
tic journey through the tal-
ented mind of Feist, the al-
bum probably is best known
for the single "1234," which
was used to advertise a slew of
fine consumer products But if
am tOM deserved to be beat-
en into the ground this year, it
was this one with its perfectly
orchestrated instrumentation
calchy hooks and of course.
Feist's amazing voice The rest
of ihe album is just as amaz-
ing, listen to the piano-driv-
en "My Moon My Man," the
bouncy, Nina Si mo ne -sam-
pling "Sea Lion Woman" and
the subdued beauty of "Bran-
dy Alexundcr."
LCOSOUNDSYSTEM,
"SOUND OF SILVER"
Half of the production
dim known as the DFA and
the mastermind behind LCD
Soundsystein, James Murphy
have been a mainstay on hip
sters lips and playlists for the
majority of this decade After
a number of excellent singles
and creative remixes, Murphy
continued to prove his bril-
liance with his self-titled de-
bul released in 2005 By mar-
rying the styles and sounds of
rotk and dance music, Mur-
phy has created his second
masterpiece with "Sound of
Silver" The album is perfect-
ly sequenced lo always keep
the energy high and the party
bouncing Every song is a win-
ner, including the Brian Eno-
inspired opener "Get Innoc-
uous!," the rollicking, irony-
filled "North American Scum,"
the touching song about losing
a loved one, "Someone Great"
and the coup de grace. "All
My Friends" about a night-
long party session reconnect-
ing with old friends
M.I.A.,"KALA"
In 2005, multi-national
rapper MIA blasted onto t' e
music scene with her extreme-
ly hyped debut, "Arular" Mix-
ing world -music beats with
her revolutionary politics,
MIA created an amazing al-
bum that deserved every good
word written about it. "Kala,"
her 2007 follow-up, expands
the sonic palette even further
MIA recorded around the
world for this album giving it a
more diverse, less streamlined
and more sonically-audacious
sound From the sampling of
"Roadrunner" by the Modem
Lovers for the clattering open-
er, "Bamboo Banga" to the AB
BA like synth runs in "Jimmy"
to using The Clash's "Straight
to Hell" in "Paper Planes,"
M.I A. never sits still or settles
on one particular style for very
long. Such a busy album could
be head-spinning, but it is held
together by Ml As charismat-
ic performance and talented
delivery.
MODEST MOUSE, "WE
WERE DEAD BEFORE THE
SHIP EVEN SANK"
After a move lo a major la-
bel with its last album. "Good
News for People Who Love
Bad News," many feared that
Ihe raucous Modes'. Mouse
of old would forever be left
behind in exchange for bet
ler production values and a
sound tempered for mass con
sumption However, as Isaac-
Brock and the rest of his band
prove on "We Were Dead," old
habits die hard The band's ar-
rangements are its most ma
turc in its career, and the ad-
dition of former Smiths guitar-
ist Johnny Marr fleshes out the
band's sound, hut Brock lets
his freak flag fly at full staff on
nearly every song Though the
album is too long by a couple
songs, the band manages to fill
it with enough gems to make
it an absolute blast to listen
to. From the danceable single.
"Dashboard" to multipart ep-
ics like "Parting of the Senso-
ry" and "Spiting Venom" for
which the band is best known.
"We Were Dead" is an album
Modest Mouse fans both old
and new equally can enjoy.
PANDA BEAR, "PERSON
PITCH"
Panda Bear (aka Noah
Lennox) is one-quarter of the
Brooklyn, N.Y. band Animal
Collective This album, which
brings to mind an electronics al-
bum by LSD-fueled Beach Boys,
contains seven immaculately se-
quenced songs of spacey, sam-
ple-filled bliss It would have
been interesting to have viewed
the recording process, watching
Lennox al his laptop careful
ly compiling samples and loops
thai run the gamut from serene
to ecstatic This album is more
personal than the other albums
on this list, meaning il sounds
best on good headphones in the
comfort of your home, but the
album hardly sounds closed off
Each song sounds like it waj
made especially for the lister?
er with its meticulously crafted
sondscapes and Lennox's beau-
tiful harmonies that sound like
he is whispering right into your
ear through a sea of hazy re-
verb.

A new company expects to offer more than 5,000 digital textbooks for students to boy. Some benefits of e-books is the amount of space it saves in a backpack
and they cost less.
Many students prefer printed books to e-books
By Veronlki Novoselovi
KANSAS STATE COLLEGIAN
Hale Library offers plenty of digital books
and articles, but students still have to buy text-
books in a store or through a Web site That
could soon change, though
CourseSmart is a new company that en
courages students to buy digital textbooks.
Students can choose from 2,300 of the most
widely adopted electronic textbooks, and the
number will increase in the future, according
to the company's Web site
CourseSmart expects to have 5.000 e-
textbooks offered by many of the higher ed
ucation publishers by summer 20O8 With e
texts, students pay less and do not spend time
in shopping lines or pay shipping fees The
company said it gives customers not only sav-
ings, but convenience. Students can use the
e-text almost like a hard copy - search for a
word or phrase, put in notes or highlight pas-
sages
When students drop a class, they can re-
turn a book to the bookstore. In the same way,
a client has an option of canceling a subscrip-
tion to CourseSmart and getting an immedi-
ate refund within two weeks of the first sub
scription, provided they have read or print
ed less than 20 percent of the CourseSmart
e textbook, according to the company's Web
site.
"Even without any promotion of our Beta
site, we have thousands of student who bought
c textbooks from us this past semester," said
Frank Lyman, CourseSmarl representative.
"Students like the instant access they can get
to an e-textbnok, and lots of students told us
they are sick of lugging around big books In
addition, CourseSmart e-textbooks have the
same page numbers as the print editions, so
professors can give the same assignments
with the print and digital version."
Madina Mukhanova, sophomore in eco-
nomics, said she likes the idea of e texts
I used to read both kind of books a lot,"
she said "When I'm reading from the screen,
I switch on music, drink tea and eat cookies,
so time flies"
Despite some new opportunities, selling
digital books is still a small part of the puh
lishing business
"There are five or six classic *il K-State
for which students have an e houk opt inn,'
said Dan Walter, textbook manager at Var-
ney's Book Store
"For example, a general education class.
Introduction lo Sociology, 90 percent of stu-
tleiiis decided to read a print version of the
text lor the class. Walter said "Unless there is
a good universal device of reading an e-book,
people will prefer paper. Today, students arc
used lo using Internet technology and com-
puii/rs Inn when llii'j need lo studs I'hapier
7 for a Friday test, most would rather read a
book in a hurd copy"
Some K State students have similar opin-
ions on the matter
l.ennart Marxen. junior in economics,
said he prefers "old ways of books"
■J have to spend a lot of lime in front
of the screen anyway, and when it comes to
reading, 1 would like to have a hard copy in
my hands," Marxen said
Alex Martinez, sophomure in architec-
ture, prefers hard copies, too.
"Even though society has turned digital, 1
feel that il can be unreliable," Martinez said.
In I lie time of a power outage, digital books
IK useless, therefore I (eel the hard cop-
ies are the most reliable source"
Law Board
reviews jail
expansion^
By Deborah Muhwett
KANSAS SIAI HOI II I, IAN
The space problem at
Riley County jail that
existed might not be an isd
for the Riley County Police
Department any more.
Architect Dan Rowe and
RCPD Captain Jeff Hoop«r
gave new law board members
an update on the idea of ex-
panding the Riley County loil
yesterday afternoon
"They originally took the
proposal to the law board in
2004," Hooper said "Due to a
change of director, they put it
on hold. Now half of the law-
board is new and they wanted
to update them
Hooper along with RCPD
Director Bradley Sehoen said
this will have a positive effect
on Riley County area
"There were a good num-
ber of concerns and they want
ed to see those addressed,"
Schocn said. "He mentioned
that some of these concerns
consisted of parking and com-
mumcation within the facili-
ty"
"This will be a benefit to
all of Riley County and will
put the jail in better position,"
Sehoen said It limits contact
in respect to fights and differ
cnt levels of contacts within
inmates"
County Commissioner
Alvin Johnson said the vote
will not occur until the ft
nal drawing and architectural
plans have been put together
and presented He said Tues-
day was just a debriefing and
the decision will be made in
the future
Hooper and Sehoen from
RCPD said this is the best de-
cision for Riley County and
the concerns and issues will
be addressed through this
plan
Census affects national
decisions on farming
Student, professor honored for diversity work
By Kristin Hodges
KANSAS STATE COLLEGIAN
Every five years, a stack of
papers is sent to houses across
the country asking farmers and
ranchers numerous financial
and production questions.
While the paperwork can
seem like a tedious job that
weighs on those who receive it,
the information can affect all
those involved years later
The Census of Agriculture
is a count of farms and ranch-
es and the people that operate
them, according to the Depart-
ment of Agriculture Web site
The census is sent out to
those that own or operate a
farm or ranch, which the cen-
sus defines as a place that has
St, 000 or more of agricultural
products produced or sold, or
would have normally been sold,
during the census year, accord
ing to the USDA Web site
Eldon Thiessen, director of
Kansas Agricultural Statistics,
said the information gathered is
the only source of comprehen-
sive county data about agricul
ture
"The important reason for
responding is the benefit from
having that kind of data avail-
able in an unbiased kind of data
set so that everyone can use it,"
he said.
Thiessen said the census
asks questions related to the
production activity of a farm for
the year, the crop production,
expenses and value of the sales
"It's really quite compre
hensivc," he said. "It also asks
about demographics It's amaz
ing how many people want lo
know the answer lo those ques-
tions."
Rick Snell, K-State county
extension agent, said the census
data is largely used to help or
ganizations make decisions. He
also said many legislators re
view the data lo help make pol-
icies and analyze trends
According to the USDA
Web site, federal, state and lo-
cal governments, agribusinesses
and trade associations also use
the census data
The 2007 census was mailed
lo farm and ranch operators on
Dec 28, 2007. and operators are
busy calculating their expenses
and other details for the forms
that are due Feb. 4
This year the Kansas Agri-
cultural Statistics office is aim-
ing at a 90 percent response rate
- 1 percent higher than the rate
from the last census, Thiessen
said.
However, getting all of the
census forms mailed back isn't
always easy, he said
"Some people have to be
encouraged," Thiesssen said
"The important thing that we
are trying to stress is the value
of the census"
Snell said his job is lo in-
form the public about the cen-
sus and remind people to fill it
out.
During their work, Snell
and Thiessen said they encoun-
ter negativity toward the cen-
sus.
"We have folks who are
not particularly happy to com-
plete the census," Thiessen said.
"When they call and want to
visit about it, our hope is that
they'll listen to why we do this
and why we believe it's an im-
portant thing to do.
"We can't do this by sit-
ting in our office. We have got
to get the input from the farm-
er A good number is very im-
portant - a bad number is the
worst thing that could happen

International students adapt to change of scenery in Manhattan
By Holly Campbell
KAKSAv STATE COLUQAM
A few weeks ago, Yeli-
ta Lopez, graduate student in
anatomy and physiology, had
never seen real snow In her
hometown, Lopez was used
to average temperatures in
the 70s.
Lopez recently traveled
from Barquisimeto, Venezu-
ela, tu attend K-State. She
chose K-Slate on the recom-
mendation of colleagues and
professors from her home uni-
versity, who told her K State
was a good, affordable school,
she said.
Stacey Bailey, a foreign
student adviser at the Inter-
national Student Center, said
about 100 new international
-.indents arrived in Manhat-
tan this month to attend K-
Stale for the spring semester.
To ease their transition
to K State, new internatiun-
il jiudents were given a spe-
cial orientation before classes
started, Bailey said.
Guests from the Regis
irar's Office, Lafene Health
Center the English Language
Program, the Internation-
l I'lMirdinaiing Council and
Union Program Council spoke
to the students A second day
of orientation included infor-
mation on banking, health in-
surance and other important
topics for new students, Bai-
ley said.
Lopez attended the orien-
tation session and said it was
helpful However, Lopez said
she and other international
students still face some chal-
lenges living in Manhattan.
"The problem here is you
can't live without a car," she
said "So it's difficult for a
person like me"
To get her shopping done,
Lopez said she bundled up
against the cold and lined up
with about two dozen other
students at |ardine Apartment
Complex Saturday morning
before 9 a.m. waiting for a
shuttle
The shuttle had to make
multiple trips to deliver all of
the waiting students to Wal-
Mart and Manhattan Interna-
tional Foods.
It also picks up students
at the K-Stale Student Union
and Moore Hall later in the
morning, according to the
shuttle schedule.
All K State students are
allowed to use the shuttle ser-
vice. However, non-student
spouses and children cannot
ride
The shuttle service is
good, Lopez said, but the time
period available - the first stu-
dents are picked up from Wal
Mart at 10 15 am. - is short
"You spend a lot of time
waiting for the shuttle, and
time is very important," she
added
By contrast, the price of
gas in Venezuela is low, and
public transportation is so
plentiful, drivers will even
fight over who can pick up
patrons, Lopez said.
Virendra Landge, grad-
uate student in food science,
has been attending K State
for a year since moving from
India
Landge said his adjust-
ment to K-Stale was not very
difficult He said he does not
have a car, but has managed
to shop and see Manhattan
sights, like Aggie ville, by rid-
ing with friends
Finding the comforts of
home has been a challenge,
Lopez said
She said she has seen
many Mexican. Asian and
Indian foods in Manhattan,
but not many Latin products.
Landge said over the last year,
he has been having a harder
time finding Indian foods in
Manhattan stores as well

City Commission approves debt,
development resolutons 5-0
By Corene Brisendlne
K^Ss As MATt COLLEGIAN
Manhattan Cily Commis-
discussed city debt, an
intersection project and sup-
port of an affordable hous-
ing project last night at City
Hall
Commissioners first ad-
dressed Manhattan's overall
budget.
City financial director.
Ki'mie Hayen alleviated the
commission's concern when
he said Manhattan is $80
million below the debt ceil-
ing
Commissioner Bruce
Snead said several citizens
have complained about the
special assessments added to
(heir taxes when purchasing
new houses.
Hayen said he thought
Uu assessments are the best
option for the city and its ho-
meowners
I have lung said the
Boated benefit to the city
using divisions," Hayen
said. "It is like putting in a
small shopping mall"
Hayen also said the spe-
cial assessments helped the
home buyer by saving them
$300 $400 with lower per-
centage rales offered by the
city.
The city charges 2 per-
cent on the special assess-
ments over a 20-year period
verses a standard mortgage
rate of 18 percent over a 30-
year period
All items on the consent
agenda passed 5-0.
Commissioners also lis-
tened to the update from Kob
Ott, city engineer on the U.S.
Highway 24, Marlatl Avenue
intersection project.
Ott identified four prob
lems with the current inter-
section: it has increased traf-
fic volumes, increased crash
rates, no pedestrian access
across Highway 24 and drain-
age problems.
Ott discussed five solu-
tions which will improve the
intersection.
These include turning
lanes, traffic signals, street
lights, a pedestrian/drainage
cell and removing the guard-
rail.
The Highway 24. Marlatl
Avenue project passed 5-0.
For the latid owners los-
ing property due to expand-
ing the intersection. Pub-
lic Works Director Dale
Houdeshell gave the commis-
sioners a few options.
"(The city] might be able
to give in kind compensa-
tion as opposed to cash."
Houdeshell said
The motion passed 5-0
for providing just compensa-
tion to the land owners
The lasl item on the agen-
da addressed the support of
the Manhattan Area Housing
Partnership.
"We are Manhattan's
low-income housing devel-
oper," said Chris Bailey, Pres
idem of M AH P
Bailey said MAHPhoped
to begin the new housing
project in August 2008 and
have it completed by March
2009
"Housing in Manhat-
tan is very expensive," said
Commissioner Bruce Snead
"Land is hard to come by"
Snead said he support-
ed the efforts of MAHP The
commission voted 5-0 in fa
vor of supporting MAHP's
request for funding from the
stale

OPINION
KANSAS STATE COLLEGIAN
Lack of achievement
Gov. Sebelius to give Democratic Party response
to State of Union Address at the end of the month
Q
In front of the whole nation, or at least
those who care, Kansas Gov Kathleen Sebe
lius is delivering the Democratic Party re-
sponse to President Bush's
final State of the Union
Address on Ian 28
Described as an up
arid-coming star of the
Democratic Party, Sebe
lius has received many
compliments horn her
Democratic Party col
leagues
Prom their Washing-
ton offices, Senate Major-
ity Leader Harry Reid, D
Ni'v . and Speaker of the
House Nancy Pelosi, D-
Calif ., said in a joint statement, "[Sebelius'l
record of accomplishment in Kansas is evi-
dence of what can be achieved when leaders
reach across the aisle on behalf of all Ameri
cans''
In the mind of a Democrat. Gov Sebe-
lius has done a lot to further the party agen
da during her two consecutive terms, but
"reaching across the aisle" is not difficult
BRETT
KING
when many of the Republicans in the slate
government are rolling over and dying.
The Republican Party in the state of
Kansas should be embarrassed for allow
ing her to gel away with all the problems she
has caused
Contrary to ihe belief of many Repub-
licans, including the President of the Unit-
ed States, small governmenl has been a prin-
ciple at Ihe pinnacle of conservatism. Our
state government is growing by leaps and
bounds; according to the group Americans
for Prosperity, "Since March 2001, Kansas
has lost 26,100 private sector jobs and has
added 15,700 government jobs"
According to the Kansas City Star on
|an 15, Kansas GOP Chairman Kris Kobach
pointed out that in western Kansas, where
private sector jobs are scarce.
Gov Sebelius' administration re
jected the expansion of a coal
fire power plant that would
have created 2,400 more
jobs in the region
* ^, w ''" 1 * nese numDers
^^% and examples, the
Bureau of Labor
Chiistmi f-ocsbero. | cOU.B.IAM
and Statistics ranks Kansas near the bottom
of the United States in the creation of pri-
vate sector jobs, but No 1 in creating gov-
ernment jobs Each of these government jobs
compounds the bureaucracy in this state.
After rapidly expanding the size of gov-
iTtinunt in Kansas, Sebelius has done her
best to increase the lax burden on all Kansas
citizens According to the Tax Foundation,
income taxes in ihe state of Kansas are at an
till lime high
Barry W Poulson, distinguished schol-
ar for Americans for Prosperity, wrote in
his analysis of Kansas tax policy that "from
2000 to 2004, Kansas' ranking in relative tax
burdens increased from 22nd to 10th There
is no' other state in Ihe nation in which Ihe
lax burden increased as rapidly as Kansas'
over this period.''
Sebelius* name has been popping up
over the past few years as a potential cabi-
net member or even vice-presidenlial candi-
date in the upcoming election; however, her
name has moved up because of her finan-
cial backing by many political action com-
mittees These donors have made her ask
"How high?" when many of these PACs say
lump," but the Democratic Party knows she
can bring in money.
Achievement means results, but in the
minds of Sebelius and members of the Dem-
ocratic Party, leadership and achievement
musl be a regression to drive this state into
Ihe ground
Sebelius will be representing our state
on a national stage, but hopefully in the days
following, ihe trouble this stale is in will be
exposed and true solutions to fix Kansas will
be revealed

Voting machines interfere with voting, should be replaced
It is 2008 and already we, the Ameri-
can people, are getting ready for a new chap
ter in the United States' presidential histo-
ry, For the first lime since
2000, U.S. voters have fresh
opportunities in both wings
for warming the chair in
the White House Howev-
er, since the turn of the mil
lennium, it has become ap-
parent to many people that
voting is not the way it
used to be
In recent years, with
technological advanc-
es, it has become standard
to use new voting meth-
ods, namely electronic voting machines. In
New Hampshire' at the beginning of | a Hilary,
Democratic candidate Rep Dennis Kucinich,
D-Ohio, paid a $2,000 fee for a recount' in
■ the number of votes he received The rea-
son: Kucinich was concerned about online
reports alleging discrepancies between hand-
counted ballots, which favored Sen. Bur nek
Obama, 13-111., and machine-counted ballots,
which favored Sen. Hillary Clinton, D-N.Y.
If this was not such a complex subject.
GRADY
BOLOING
I would probably explain it a lot better But
I'll try either way.
Clinton's success in New Hampshire
could be attributed not only to her tear-
ful performance, but the Diebold voting ma-
chine, which credited her with more votes.
In September 2006. computer scientists at
Princeton University published a sludy Ihat
examined the vulnerabilities of the Diebold 's
AceuVote-TS machine On its Web site
Princeton's Center for Information Technol-
ogy produced a demonstration video of how
the machine could steal votes using mali-
cious software or even a virus - one could
easily break into the system, install a ma-
licious memory card, and piece the device
back together in less than a minute
Eerie, huh > |ust look at the fallout.
On Nov 30, 2007, the Houston Chroni
cle reported how the Republican leadership
in Wharton County, Texas, decided to return
to paper ballots for the upcoming primary in
March. The reason: a local businessman stat-
ed some stale constitutional amendments he
voted for "changed before his eyes" on the
screen of a computerized vol ing machine he
was using in Boling, Texas
On Dec 18, 2007, the Rocky Mountain
News reported Colorado Sec
retary of State Mike Coff-
man announced the decerti-
fication of thousands of these
machines in 53 counties
Then, on Dec. 31,2007.
the Associated Press reported
officials were sent scrambling
from California to Florida for
paper ballots after discover-
ing "critical flaws in the ac-
curacy and security" of their
own Diebold machines.
If anything, it seems the
United States needs to wake
up and go back to the Stone
Age when it eomes to voting
- marking an "X" next to the
candidate's name and call-
ing it good Since 2000, it has
been one problem after an-
other with voting - believe
me, having lived in West Palm Beach, Fla..
during the 2000 election, I can tell you I am
fed up with hearing the same story for every
election
So unless election officials throughout
the country can find a way to replace these

TO THE POINT
Students deserve choice between online, physical textbooks
The days of students
carrying stacks of books

in a sea of loose

ing to an end.

official opinion.
textbook might be the
next aspect of school
to turn into a distant
memory.
Many stu-
dents bring a
laptop com-
puter to class
with them so
they can fol-
low an instruc-
tor's PowerPoint slide
show lecture. If the in-
structor doesn't use a
slide show, some stu-
dents still prefer to type
their notes on a com-
puter rather than us-
ing paper and writing
them by hand. Students
now can use their lap-
tops not only as an all-
in-one notebook, but as
an all-in-one textbook
as well
Some students can-
not afford to spend
hundreds of dollars on
textbooks every semes
ter, and for those who
can, having to shop on-
line and in a bookstore
takes time, especially if
the bookstore is crowd-
ed. The prospect of e-
textbooks is good news
for students who would
prefer to take a lap-
top to class instead of a
backpack, a textbook, a
notebook and a pencil
or pen.
Students should have
a choice in how to buy
a textbook, wheth-
er electronic or paper.
Some students still pre-
fer to hold a book in
their hands and turn a
page, rather than look-
ing at a screen and
clicking the "next" key.
The best of both worlds
can co-exist, and they
should continue to do
so.
Students should not
be required to use only
one form of a textbook.
If a student's budget is
tight, e-textbooks offer
some relief, and if the
student chooses to buy
traditional books, they
have that right, loo

A bite for the road
Campus nutrition educators offer simple, healthy
snacks for students to eat between meals on campus
By Adrianne DeWeese
KANSAS SlATt OOLLKUN
Snacks can be delicious, but
eating between meals is also a
healthy part of everyday life, said a
K-State nutrition specialist
Sandy Procter, Expanded Pood
and Nutrition Education Program
coordinator and assistant professor
of human nutrition, said college stu-
dents should plan ahead and keep a
proactive attitude about snacks
Whole grain foods like torti-
llas, popcorn and bread make easy
snacks, Procter said Small vegeta-
ble trays also can make several days
of grab- and -go snacks, she said.
"The more basic foods are go-
ing to give you flexibility," Procter
said "They can help you meet hun-
ger pangs for foods that are salty"
Because college students of-
ten lead busy lifestyles, Procter said
students should prepare snacks the
night before they plan to eat them
Simple foods like whole-grain cere
at and skim milk make ideal snacks
for those on the go, she said
"Snacks aren't a bad thing,"
Procter said. "Portion control is im-
portant, but (snacks] aren't bad.
Snacks help us get to that next meal
without overeating at that next
meal"
Snacks should come from the
first three sections of MyPyramid
- grains, vegetables and fruits, said
Kathy Walsten. nutrition educator
with K- State Research and Exten-
sion's Family Nutrition Program.
She also said snacks should in-
corporate at least two different pyr-
amid sections.
"Snacking really should be part
of what you eat all day long," Wal-
sten said. "They can lake the edge
off hunger"
College students often need
energy from snacks like protein
bars during the day between class-
es, said Stephanie Davis. Sensible
Nutrition and Body Image Choic-
es (SNAC) member
"My theory is eat when you
are hungry and stop when you art-
ful)," Davis, senior in family studies
and human services and Spanish
said. "I think the key is eat in mud
eration and snack in moderation.
If you snack throughout the day. I
think it helps you know your body
better You don't gorge during
dinner, but you aren't emp
ly either."

Chili recipe provides warm alternative during cold winter months
Here at the Collegian, I
have been pegged as only an
opinion writer over the past
few years
Many read-
ers have
failed to see
me as any-
thing oth-
er than "that
opinionat-
ed guy," but
few know I
spend a lot
of my free
time devel-
oping reci-
pes and cooking
After a year of petitioning,
I am happy to announce this is
the first installment of "King's
Kitchen," which will be a week-
ly series of columns on The
Edge page
Every Wednesday, my
hands will leave the keyboard
behind, fire up my stove, pick
up my Wusthof and Sabalier
Au Carbone knives and pres-
ent some of my classic recipes.
They will range in complexity,
but I try to keep cooking sim-
ple and enjoyable.
With global warming not
doing its part, we are stuck
freezing at the end of January
After a long day of attending
classes and walking in and out
of Ihe cold, students should en-
joy a hearty, warm meal to take
lite chill out of their bones. A
warm bowl of chili can keep a
person feeling good and keep
the sheets warm all night.
A basic essential that ev-
ery college student needs is a
slow -cooker or Crock-Pot. Us-
ing one can help students ful
low the No. 1 rule in cooking
chili - slow, low and steady.
HEARTY CHILI
-2 pounds ground venison or
Immburger
-I package of Williams Chili
Seasoning
-2 cans red beany drained
-2 cans kidney beans, drained
- 1 white onion, diced thinly
- ' 4 cup ketchup
-2 cans diced tomatoes
-*/* teaspoon cinnamon
-'■■? teaspoon sugar
-'<■? teaspoon salt
- ' 2 teaspoon pepper
-Tabasco* (optional)
-mild cheddar {optional}
soda crackers (optional)
When it comes to the
meat. I prefer io use venison
because it gives a rich flavor,
but basic ground hamburger is
■ fine substitute
To begin, brown the meat
over medium high heat in
a large skillet; once meat is
cooked, drain out grease and
place in slow cooker Add
package of chili seasoning, red
beans, kidney beans, onion,
ketchup and diced tomatoes.
Remember not to drain
the juice from the cans of to-
matoes because the juice pro
vides the necessary liquid with-
out losing the flavor Add in
salt and pepper and stir ingre-
dients together in slow-cooker.
Leave chili to cook in
slow -cooker on the low sel-
ling for seven hours. If timing
is right, the meal can be ready
when you come home at night
from school or work
Sail, pepper and TabascaV *
are nothing more than flavor
enhancers driven by personal
taste Don't be afraid to lake a
spoon and try a little bit while
the chili is simmering and add
a little of each to fit personal
preference
When serving, top with
cheese and add a side of crack-
ers, if desired. Keep leftovers
for up to one week and use to
make chili dogs, chili cheese
fries or even chili burgers

A team looking to battle back from a I -2 conference
record will play host to K-Slate at the Coors Events Cen
ler in Boulder, Colo , tonight
Colorado (9-8, 12 Big 12 Conference) has had a
rough beginning in the conference, dropping a game to
Texas A&M. then falling by two to the University of Tex-
as, both on the road The team's lone win has been against
Nebraska in Boulder, when the Buffaloes edged the Com-
huskers 55-51 . Tip-off for tonight's game will be at 8 p.m.

"What opens my eyes is when I see them playing with
the amount of purpose they are playing with," said coach
Prank Martin "1 see the incredible amount of growth that
they have done as a basketball team They're resilient and
they're doing what they're told to do. and they're playing
with tremendous passion and togetherness. They're a com-
pletely different team than they were in November"
Colorado is led in scoring by senior guard Richard
Roby. who is averaging 1ft points per contest and six re-
bounds The Buffaloes' assists leader is senior guard Mar-
cus Hull, who is dishing almoM four assists to his team
males per game
K- Stale (12-1, 2-0 Big 12) is looking to preserve its
perfect conference record Only two other teams (Kan-
sas and Baylor) are also perfeel through three conference
games
The Wildcats" leading scorer. Michael Beasley, is also
leading Ihe Big 12 in scoring. Beasley. a freshman forward,
is averaging 24 points per game, as well as a conference-
high 12 rebounds per game Freshman forward Bill Walk-
er is also providing strong contributions for K-State, av
eraging 1ft points and six rebounds per game. The one-
two punch of Beasley and Walker is one aspect Colorado
coach leff Bzdclik is worried abouv
"Obviously, they're a handful, and they've proven
that nationwide," Bzdelik said "We're going to have to be
at our very besl just to have a chance to be competitive
against those two great talents"
K-State already has proven it can win on (he road.
The Wildcats went to Norman, Okla , Jan. 12 and shocked
Oklahoma, 84-82. With the home teams prevailing often
this season, the rare road win that K-State has is extreme-
ly valuable. Martin said.
"It's nearly impossible to win on the road in this
league because of die kind of teams, the kind of coaching
and the kind of preparation the teams have and the ven-
ues that you play in," he said "When you figure out a way
to score one mure point than the other team on the road,
you gel on the bus and you get out of town"

NO. 22
Wildcats
to face
Iowa State
By Joel Jellison
KANSAS STATE COtUCUM
Fresh off the defeat of
another top 25 ranked team,
the K- Slate women will finish
a three-game homestand lo
night when the Wildcats play
Iowa State
This time ii will be the
newly-ranked No 22 Wild
cats who will have a target
on their backs The Wild
eats moved into the AP Top
25 after beating three ranked
opponents in their last four
games.
K-State (12-5, 4-0 Big
12 Conference) reached its
besl conference start since
the 2003-04 season Saturday-
night when they topped then-
No 25 Colorado
K-State coach Deb Pat-
terson said the Cyclones
present a different challenge
for the Wildcats because they
run a system which relies
heavily on the three point
er, and they posses the ability
to hit those shots from any
where.
"In the country, there is
no team like them," she said
"They really have a very dis
tinct style, and when you are
shooting 20 lo 26 ihrees ■
game and (hat's your priori-
ty, it's a system."
K- State also has been
shooting the three pointers
well lately
In conference play, the
Wildcats are 27 of-72 from
three-point range. It's an im
prove inent from last season
lhat Patterson attributes to
better rhythm.
"A year ago we had a ba-
zillion wide-open three looks
that we missed, but I'm not
sure that we had neccssari
ly established quality rhythm
with five players on the floor,"
she said "1 think this year
better tempo and
we have
rhythm."
The
could be
improved rhythm
attributed to the
returning experience of ihe
Wildcats and the way they
have been playing as a unit
on the floor Four starters are
averaging 35-39 minutes per
game in conference play
"We don't have one play-
er that we turn to this year,
we have all live ol us lhat can
do the job," said junior guard
Shalcc Lchning. "This year
our team has a burning desire-
inside of us that we haven't
had in the past few years; we
never give up."
Lehning said the Cy-
clones are a different team
in comparison lo the oilier
learns K-State has played tin-
season and said they '
be respected on Ihe court.
"They are a very talented
team." she said, "lust a hard
working, blue collar team
that is coming in with ihe
ability to knock down threes
at every position
Iowa State (12-5. 1-3 Big
12) received one vote this

agreement was very dote and should be finalized by the six
nations' foreign ministers at a meeting in Berlin, Germany
However, others were more cautious about what the talks
could produce. Momentum (or a third resolution has slowed
since a U.S. intelligence assessment last month indicated Teh-
ran had stopped active work on a nuclear weapons program
in 2003.
A senior U S official said Monday that the six nations
had made some progress in negotiating a new resolution in
a Hurry of weekend conference calls, but "substantial" differ-
ences still existed.
FORGERY INVESTIGATION UNDERWAY FOR PUTIN
CRITIC, RUSSIAN PRESIDENTIAL CANDIDATE
MOSCOW - Prosecutors announced a forgery investi-
gation Tuesday into the campaign of the only liberal Kremlin
critic still in Russia's presidential race, a contest already ex-
pected lo be won easily by Vladimir Putin's hand-picked can-
didate to succeed him.
Liberal opposition groups arc small and weak, and former
prime minister Mikhail Kasyanov has been given no chance
in the election, even if the probe doesn't push him out of the
race.
A spokeswoman for the prosecutor-general's office, Tati-
ana Chernyshova, said on state television that the investiga-
tion involved possible forged signatures on nominating peti-
tions for Kasyanov
Chernyshova said suspected false signatures were found
in the Yaroslavl and Mari-EI regions. The head of Kasyanov's
campaign in Mari-EI, Rustam Abdullin, was detained earlier
this month.
NEW AGREEMENT COULD SEND ILLEGAL IMMIGRANTS
HOMETO VIETNAM
HANOI. Vietnam - Thousands of Vietnamese living il-
legally in the United Slates now face deportation after the
two countries completed an agreement Tuesday, a move that
sparked worry among immigrant communities.
Vielnamese who entered the US illegally after the for-
mer foes normalized relations in 1995 could now be forced to
return to their birth country, said |ulie Myers, director of U.S.
Immigration and Customs Enforcement.
The deal has been under negotiation for 10 years. Viet-
nam had previously been reluctant to accept citizens back,
and community leaders in the U.S. said many immigrants
have been living with deportation orders for years, even de-
cades
"Some Vietnamese have been here a very long time," said
Carolyn Tran. an organizer with VietUnity, an Oakland-based
Vietnamese community organization "They don't have a con-
nection there any more."

Editor,
Friday's editorial on
giving was a sigh of re-
lief. Whatever your polit-
ical affiliation, religion or
ethnicity, finding content-
ment is one of the most
valuable quests you'll em-
bark on. And once you do,
it will be a challenge to re-
orient yourself to stay on
the journey. 1 hope Mark's
thoughts on giving did not
fall on deaf ears.
But because we all
need reminders, I want-
ed to repeat the call to en-
gage in the communi-
ty around us and around
this globe. These organ iza
lions are looking for stu-

Macintosh unveils thinnest
laptop yet to be produced
By Brandon McAtct
KA8MS STATE COUBGUM
Macintosh unveiled its latest laptop
this month, which proved to be the thin-
nest laptop available: the Macintosh Air
The Mac Book Air is 0.16 to 0.76 ineh-
et ilnn and weighs about three pounds,
with a 1280 x 800 resolution. 13 3-inch
LEU screen. The laptop also features a
full-size, back- lit keyboard that adjusts to
lighting tor ttie area the user is in
"Iri definitely the thinnest, but it is not
the lightest." said Drew Claassen, Union
Computer Stun iMOChrte and senior in mar-
keting "Apple made it with the full keyboard
and also made it not to .sacrifice any battery
hi.-

"It is kind ill designed as your second
computer, but it could be used as your first,"
he said
Inputs included on the Air include a
UNDERCOVER
n ilium* aw
USB 2 port, a headphone tack and a micro
DVI port, according to Apple's Web site.
The Air docs not have a CD drive, but
one can be purchased externally Without
one. a user can transfer files with other cum
puters without wires There also will be a
built-in camera on the monitor A feature not
seen before is the trackpad, which is compa-
rable to a touch screen. With the trackpad,
users can pinch, swipe or rotate to zoom in
on text, or they can advance through photos
and adjust an image, all from simple move-
ments of their fingers over the pad
"1 am sure the trackpad is changing
computers and |it] is the way it will be in the
future," Claassen said.
Though there are only about six pre or
ders from the Union Computer Store, Claas-
sen said he believes it is something that most
people actually want to see
He said the thinness of the Air is diffi-
cult to describe accurately
"1 don't think it is something you can
even fathom until it is actually seen." Claas-
sen said

School officials said
they plan to use the money
any way they CM but will fo-

program and Emma's grade

ty target donations on con-
tributors' areas of interest.
Marten said she got the
idea in May when she saw
a Kansas City based artist's
benefit art show for Greens-
burg in Hutchinson Her
parents told her they would
help her do a benefit show of
her own if she created 25 art
pieces, which she did most
ly out of crayon, marker and
paint
"When she did the piec
es, we kind of realized it's
our turn to do our part," said
Amy Marten. Emma's moth-
er, "and we put the prayers
out there, we put the word
out, and people literally
started coming to us and say-
ing. 'This is the person you
need to talk to,' or 'We've al-
ready taken care of the auc
tioneer' The pieces really fell
into place It was very evi-
dent that God was involved
in it from the beginning"
A new school won't be
completed for more than a
year, but the school is mak

ties
A new gym and cafete
ria already have been built
and served as a backdrop for

Semler said her resigna-

CENSUS | Ag report can be tedious,
but affects nearly every farmer
Continue) from Plfltl
11 people are making decisions
on bad data, then that could do
tiu good"
Elaine Heller, technology
support consultant for the Of-
fice of the Registrar, said she
and her husband received the
2007 census She said her hus-
band is the one who Fills out
the paperwork, which can be
time-consuming because it re-
quires comprehensive informa-
tion that the couple wants to
make sure is accurate
"It is something that my
fnfchand feels obligated to do,"
she said
She said they have been
involved with different agricul-
lujal organizations, including
Harm Bureau, and know the
importance of the data.
Sue II s;ili1 Oleic m NW
reasons why people have neg-
ative thoughts about the cen-
sus those that receive it see the
length of the survey and realize
the amount of information they
will be releasing
"Nobody likes paperwork
- it's fairly lengthy." Snell said
"It takes some time The oth-
er thing is I think a lot of them
feel like it's nobody's business.
They feel like they're divulging
information they would like to
keep private."
However, Snell said the
data gathered does not reveal
any information about individ-
ual fanners AU of the infor-
mation from the census is kept
confidential.
US Code states that those
who receive a form must com
pletc it, even if they did not op-
erate a farm or ranch in 2007,
according to US CodeTitfe 7.
Tlncssen said some people
might receive the census even
if they did not operate a farm in
2007 because their name was
on a list included with other
producers. Some people might
have sold their farming opera-
tion between the last census in
2002 and the most recent cen-
sus However, they still need
to return the paperwork. Little
information is asked of those
who did not operate a farm in
2007
Thiessen said Kansas Ag-
ricultural Statistics has been
gathering the data for years
and has built up a list of names
of producers He said a major-
ity of the names of producers
come from people's participa-
tion in government agriculture
programs
"We look everywhere," he
said. "We're interested in build-
ing a good list because we're try-
ing to do the best job we can in
building agricultural statistics."

Continued from ftqt 6
rebounder in the game
against Texas A&M. said al-
though some critics might
see playing with significant-
ly younger teammates as a
disadvantage, it makes him
better individually
"I play against these
guys every day in practice,"
Young said. "I know what
they can do I'm a pret-
ty good defender and some
of them are having to make
me work on defense, so
that's been helping me with
my defense, and f know
what they can do to other
defenders"
One of those defenders
is freshman forward Ron
Anderson.
Anderson, who is sec-
ond on the team in field-
goal percentage with a 57-
percent shooting average,
said he and the rest of the
freshmen recognize the lev-
el of play the Big 12 re
quires.
"When the Big 12
comes around, the competi-
tion gets a lot harder," An-
derson said "At our away
game in Oklahoma, it was
tough and we had to fight
through il Once the Big 12
comes, you can't get those
games back. H's important
to us to get that NCAA bid.
so we just keep working ev
ery day in practice and try
to be the best we can be ,"

Dietz leads K-State to victory in her senior
Colorado native leads team in scoring,
increasing production in Big 12 play
season
By Jo*l Aichbn»r>ner
KANMHrMEtOUEGIMi
The women's basketball
team owes much of its seven-
ganie win streak and 4-0 Big
12 Conference record to senior
guard Kimberly Dietz.
Dietz is leading the Wild-
cats in scoring and has been
pivotal to the teams' recent suc-
cess
"Without Kimberly. we
wouldn't have won these
games." senior forward Shan a
Wheeler said "She has definite
ly grown to be a huge factor"
Dietz, who has been aver-
aging 14 4 points per game mid
17.5 points per game in con-
ference play, credits her team-
mates for her success this sea-
son, and for the team's recent
achievements
"All my teammates were
working so well," Dietz said.
They are just hitting me when
I in open It's been amazing.
This team has played with so
much heart"
K- State started conference
play with an upset of Texas
A&M in College Station, Texas,
and then upset Texas in over-
time in Austin The Wildcats re-
lumed home where they beat
Texas Tech and then upset Col-
orado,

Iocs was special However, win
ning the road games is what has
stood out most lo her
"It's so hard to win on the
road in the Bie 12," she said.
Dietz said her biggest con-
tribution 1<> the team's recent
success has been off the glass.
"I'm getting more re-
bounds That's been my biggest
goal," Dielz said "If the team
gets rebounds, we're going to
win"
She is averaging 4.3 re
bounds per game in conference
play, which is almost a rebound
and a half more per game than
her season average.
Dietz said the team's atti-
tude also has contributed to the
winning streak.
"I think our disposition as
a team has changed," she said.
"We're done losing now"
While Dielz has been effec-
tive on the court recently, her
success al K- Slate is not new
During the Texas State game on
Dec 16, 2007. she became the
33rd K- Slate women's basket-
ball player to score 1,000 career
points She scored 22 points in
the 90-52 win
She said reaching 1,000
career points was important to
her, and she was glad to be part
of K Si, nc history
Coach Deb Patterson said
she has noticed Dietz s contri-
bution to the team's recent suc-
cess.
"She's a great leader on
ihe floor, Patterson said She's
been driving the ball well and
making good decisions. Kim-
berly has just been a key factor
to any success we've had."
Patterson said Dietz is Ihe
kind of player she likes to have
in the game.
"Coaches dream of playing
seniors. Patterson said.
Dietz played an average of
almost 39 minutes per game.
She played the entire game
against Colorado and 44 min-
utes in the overtime win against
Texas
"Kim is a senior, and she is
mentally tough," Patterson said
"She has always had a good fit-
ness level Most of all she has
matured."
Dietz said she has enjoyed
all the playing time
"We've been working so
hard," she said Coach (Patter-
son] decides who plays, and it's
been an honor getting to play so
much"
Throughout the success of
her senior season, Dietz said
overall her favorite thing has
been playing home games wilh
the support of fans.
"We've been winning, so
we've been getting more fan
support They are the sixth man
for us," Dielz said "1 love play
ing at Bramlage"

Martin deserves fan support
JONATHAN
WRIGHT
He was just an assistant
coach under Bob Huggins
who was kepi around to keep
a stellar re-
cruiting class
intact His
only head
coaching ex
perience
came when
he was at Mi
ami Senior
High School
We've
heard the
same argu-
ment time
and again Frank Martin isn't
the guy to take the Wildcat
basketball program to the next
level After being one of his
skeptics. Martin convinced ine
Saturday that he s just what
the Cats need
EXHIBIT A
K State was down 1 1 -3
against the No 10 basketball
team in college basketball, and
Texas A&M sophomore for-
ward Bryan Davis committed
a foul. With 14:56 left in the
first half, it was time for the
TV* timeout Both teams went
to their respective benches
As they left the huddle.
a new Wildcat team stepped
onto the hardwood. This team
was energized, focused and
sharp K-State came back with
an 11 3 run to tie the game
at 14. Fans should commend
Martin for getting his players
back in the game
EXHIBITS
With 16:34 left in the first
half, freshman forward Mi-
chael Beasley committed his
second foul Most coaches
would sit their star player for
the rest of the half in hopes of-
keeping him out of foul trou-
ble for the second half
Not Martin. He brilliant-
ly used junior forward Dar-
ren Kent and Beasley in an of
fense -defense scheme that not
only kept Beasley out of foul
trouble but also kept the Wild
cats in the game by allowing
their greatest offensive threat
to contribute.
EXHIBIT C
Coaches make their living
off halftime and in-game ad-
justments. Martin is no differ-
ent. The Aggies shot 4f> per-
cent from the field in the first
half and held a 17 13 rebound-
ing advantage The Wildcats
spent the majority of the first
half in straight man-to-inan
defense, and the Wildcats led
35-33 at halftime
During the second half,
the Cats mixed up their de-
fenses, alternating between
a match-up zone, a 3-2 zone
and man -to- man. Texas A&M
looked confused and con-
stantly was trying to guess
what defense the Wildcats
were in A&M's field-goal per-
centage dropped to 38 percent
for the game, and K- State held
the final rebounding edge 29-
23.
People who blame Martin
for the Cats four losses seem
to overlook one fact : they
play seven freshmen. KU went
through some of the same
growing pains two years ago
that K-State is going through
now. They had an enormous
ly talented recruiting class and
began the year with high ex-
pectations.
The | ay hawks lost ear-
ly games to Ball State, Arkan
sas and Nevada. They went
on to win the Big 12 Con-
ference Tournament and ad-
vanced to the second round
of the NCAA Tournament be-
fore losing to Bradley. Now.
two yean later with the same
corps of players, they are
ranked No 2 in the nation
and are one of two undefeat
ed teams in college basketball
The correlation is surprising.
It's not fair to jump to
conclusions on this man be
fore he has a chance to prove
himself Martin made a state-
ment Saturday through his
smart decisions and leader
ship He is the right man (or
the job and is a big-time coach
in the making.

Adding it up
K-State to graduate record number of math teachers
Joilyn Brown | ODU EUIAN
Graham Ratzlaff Jesii Lindar arid Tytef Stubanhoftr, seniors in secondary math education, listen to JMy Haarscha tell stories during dinner at Old Chicago
By Joe Vossen
KANSAS STATE COLLEGIAN
Most undergraduate students
face many of the same anxiet-
ies: difficult classes, long hours of
studying and worries about finding
a job after graduation. But at least
3 1 seniors in the College of Educa-
tion are not worried about finding
that perfect job.
As secondary schools across
Kansas and the United States face
a shortage of math instructors,
K- St ate will graduate one of its
largest classes of secondary math
education students in May.
Larry Scharmann, chairman
of the Department of Secondary
Education, said in an average year
the College of Education awards
degrees with math certifications to
about 15 to 18 students. In May, as
many as 31 future math teachers
might walk across the commence-
ment stage.
"With the shortage reported
throughout the stale, some people
might call that a bumper crop," Sc
harm an n said.
One instructor will remember
this class not just Cor its size, but
the promise these future teachers
show in making a difference in stu-
dents' lives
Lori Martini, instructor of ihc
Math Methods course at K-State, a
class taken by secondary math ed
ucation degree candidates before
they student teach, worked close-
ly with the 3 1 students set to grad-
uate in the spring.
"I've got student teachers who
are very strong in their social skills.
and they're strung role models (or
kids," Martini said "That's what
excites me about this group - not
only are they strong with content
but they are strong with their inter-
personal skills,"
Last Thursday, four seniors in
secondary math education met at
Old Chicago to chat about their
first week of student teaching.
Jessi Linder, senior in math
education, was one of those stu-
dents She said the students meet
often, and it was the friendships
that grew between her and her fel-
low classmates that kept her fo-
cused and excited about becoming
a teacher.
"We all banded together,"
Linder said. "They are what I'll
remember from K- Stale We saw
each other almost every day in
class, and we studied a couple
nights a week together. That's what
kepi us going - we were a group,
pushing each other along I know
it wouldn't have been as much fun
without them"
Joey Heersche. senior in math
education, first enrolled at K-State
as a psychology major, but an expe
rience between his first two semes-
ters made him consider a change
in curriculum.
"I went back [home] over
Christmas break," Heersche said,
"and my high school wrestling
coach let me help coach the team
After talking with him I realized
that what 1 wanted to do was teach
Math sounded appealing because 1
was good at math, and I knew it
would get me a job, and coaching
because I love working with kids"
Heersche said his course load
at K State kept him busy, but the
help and advice o( another teacher
motivated him
"At K-Slate, Dr. [Andrew]
Bennett was a huge influence on
my decision to be a math teacher,"
Heersche said "He kept us going
and provided help when we need-
ed it"
Bennett is just one member
of a faculty praised by its students.
Graham Ratzlaff, senior in math
education, said his department's
skill in training future educators is
its main strength
"K-State has done a great job
preparing me," Ratzlaff said. "The
teacher education program at K-
State gives you a lot of experience
in the classroom, which 1 think is
valuable. They can leach you about
theory, but if you don'l experience
the classroom yourself you're not
really going to know what to ex-
pect."
Many of the 31 seniors will
spend their last, semester as student
teachers, shadowing local second-
ary instructors. Tyler Stubenhofer,
senior in math education, leaches
at Warnego Middle School.
"Student teaching has made
me think about classroom man-
agement." Stubenhofer said. "Ev-
ery day is different, and in other
jobs every day is the same "
Stubenhofer, whose mother
is a math teacher, said this day-to-
day variety appeals to him Soon
he will have a classroom of his
own, and he and his classmates
will gel the chance to interact with
students - and maybe some future
teachers - each day.
"It will be rewarding to know
I'm making a difference in the
world." Stubenhofer said.

Woman
injured
in incident
By Allison Vons
KANSAS STATE COLLEGIAN
A Manhattan woman was in-
jured during an alleged aggra-
vated burglary at her home in
the University Crossing Apart-
ments on Monday, according
to a Riley County Police re-
port
RCPD Lt Kurt Moldrup
said the 21 -year-old woman
suffered a cut on her left mid
forearm by a bo* cutter she
was holding while trying to
force a man out of her home.
The man allegedly entered the
woman's locked apartment
around 12:45 am According
to RCPD reports, the woman
did not know the suspect but
had met him at Bobby T*s Bar
and Grill.
Moldrup said the suspect
was described as a white male
about 6 feel 4 inches tall who
weighed approximately 190
pounds, with brown hair and
between the ages of 20 and
30. The suspect was last seen
wearing a green fleece pull-
over, blue jeans and red and
white tennis shoes.
The woman received
stitches for her injury at Mer-
cy Regional Health Center, ac-
cording to RCPD reports

Students come together for documentary on historic black-rights milestone
By Yvonne Ramirez
KANSAS STATE COLLEt.lAN
K-State students repli-
cated the diversity Americans
fought for during the Civil
Rights Movement by sitting
side-by-side in the K-State
Student Union Grand Ball-
room on Wednesday after-
noon.
The students attended
a civil rights matinee movie,
"February One: The Greens-
boro Four," sponsored by the
Martin Luther King Jr. Com-
mittee in honor of MLK Ob-
servance Week
The movie portrayed
the true story of four black
friends in the 1960s from
Greensboro, N.C., who look
a stand by sitting in a din-
er designated only for white
people. Their movement in-
fluenced other similar move-
ments to start throughout the
nation.
On July 26, 1960, the din
er decided to integrate and
the Greensboro four had ac-
complished what they want-
ed all along - to be seen as
people
Mirta Chavez, director of
multicultural programs and
services, said the movie was
chosen to show a different
side of what black students
went through in that era
"1 think K Stale students
will appreciate a little bit
of the knowledge that they
would not have gotten other-
wise if we hadn't played this
movie," Chavez said. "Our of-
fice is all about educating, re-
garding what has happened
in the past "
The movie was shown
during the lunch hour and
concessions were sold for
$5. Chavez said the planning
committee decided to show
the movie at this time be-
cause students were already
on campus
More than 150 students
were in attendance.
Ashley Glover, freshman
in political science, said she
was inspired by the movie
"It really showed me that
an act of bravery and stand-
ing up for what you believe
in will go a long way." Glover
said.
Most students left the
ballroom with good reviews
of the movie.

Emily Surdez, freshman
in agriculture education, said
the movie was eye-opening.
"I think more people
need to see it and realize how
much of a difference one
person can actually make,"
Surdez said. Sometimes you
think you are just one per-
son and that you can't make
a difference, but you actually
can"

KANSAS STATE 001 1.E1.1AN
Manhattan has a grow-
ing number of residents seek-
ing shelter with few places to
hold these people
One solution to the
space problem is a new shel
ler, located at 416 Fourth St.
The new shelter is under con-
struction and should be oper
ational this summer. A press
conference is scheduled for
Jan. 31 to award two grants
to the Manhattan Emergen-
cy shelter for their work in
combating homelessness in
the Manhattan area. Com-
munity members looking to
offer support can contact the
shelter to learn about "Adopt
a Room" and other ways to
help
Another one of the so-
lutions is the homeless out-
reach sponsored by Paw-
nee Mental Health. Jenni
fer White, a homeless out-
reach case manager, has been
working with the program
since August 2007.
The outreach program is
designed to specifically target
those individuals who might
have a mental illness, and as
a result, are homeless White
explained the service helps
people find resources and
mental health services
"I can't necessarily say
[homelessness] has increased
or decreased, but the word
is getting out there and peo-
ple are seeking help." White
said
White suggests people
help by volunteering at shel-
ters and donating items to
any social service program,
including the shelter and
Pawnee Mental Health.
"(People need to J be
more aware of what is going
on. People aren't aware of the
homeless population in Man-
hattan," White said. "Stu-
dents need to be aware too,
because there are lots of stu
dents who don'l have a place
to call home"

Emergency Shelter, said she

Photo exhibit features foster children in need of homes
By Annette Uwkii
KANSAS STATE COLLEGIAN
A new gallery ai Manhat-
tan Town Center features 52
portraits of children seeking
adoption.
In its fourth consecutive
year, the Kansas Children's
Service League and the Kan-
sas Professional Photogra-
phers Association have joined
together to present "Klicks for
Kids," a traveling photography
exhibit featuring Kansas chil-
dren in foster care needing
adoption.
There is a tremendous
need for adoptive and foster
parents both nationwide and
here in Kansas," said Gail Zey-
sing, KGCUs North Central
Region director "Klicks for
Kids' is a wonderful opportu-
nity to introduce adoption, as
well as some of the children
who need forever families, to
Kansans across the state."
Exhibits like this one in
Manhattan could help reme-
dy the problem About 25 per-
cent of children who partic-
ipate in the program find an
adoptive home, giving the chil-
dren some hope they will find
a family, according to Kansas
Children's Service League
Throughout 2008, there
will be exhibits in 25 Kansas
communities, featuring the
work of some of Kansas' most
talented photographers.
Alan Honey, owner of
Alan Honey Photography, has
been involved with the pro-
gram for three years He said
he appreciates being involved
with a program where he can
use his skills lo benefit the
lives of children
"It's just a good feeling
to be able to help some way,
rather than donating money to
something that I don't know
how its going to be spent,"
Honey said "It's nice to see
the tangible benefit of some-
thing I do. It's nice to do some-
thing, to help a cause, to help
somebody"

Looking at the "Klicks for Kids' display. Shay Garvin, Manhattan High School senior, reads the stories of
The gallery-style event was a combined effort of the Kansas Service League and the Kansas Professional
families for more than 900 Kansas kids. The exhibit will be rouring the state throughout the year
it's a challenge to photograph
children who have a difficult
upbringing. Some of the chil-
dren are more difficult to pho-
tograph than others, most like
ly because of their emotional
states.
"They probably feel beat
en down or neglected They
didn't have eye contact, but
you have to get to know them,
joke around, gain a little bit
of trust" Honey said "May-
be in the past, they didn't
trust adults Maybe they didn't
smile more easily than others.
It runs from the pretty typical
child session to real difficult,
just to have them look al the
camera in a more typical way."
Though some of the por-
traits might be difficult to turn
out the 52 children represent
various ethnic backgrounds,
hobbies and academic inter-
ests are featured in the gallery
Despite their differenc-
es, they all want a parent, and
the Kansas Children's Service
League remains hopeful il will
fulfill the dreams of these 52
children
"When you look at these
portraits, you can see that
they are just kids and what
they want is what every child
deserves - a family, a home.
someone to love them," said
Tina Long, communications
director of Kansas Children's
Service League in Manhattan.
Though several mall pa-
trons have visited the gallery.
Long said it is a challenge to
help every child, but any effort
is better than none at ail
"It's more difficult to find
homes for older children who
have some special needs, so
this is about a little extra re-

STUDENT GOVERNMENT
SGA to vote
on student
privilege fee
increase
By Brandon Stt Inert
KANSAS STATE COLLEGIAN
An increase in the stu
dent activity fee and the Of-
fice of Student Activities and
Services privilege fee will be
decided on by members of
the Student Governing Asso-
ciation tonight at the Student
Senate meeting.
"(The student activity
fee) was reduced the last time
it was reviewed," said Clint
Blaes, privilege fee chairman
"Now we're just bringing it
back up lo what we're spend
ing"
Blaes said the Women's
Center also will benefit from
the increase.
He said the fee will gen-
erate 37 percent more funds
for campus- wide organiza-
tions. Students do not need
to worry about paying too
much more, as the increase
per student will be less than
$1
Allocations to several
student groups and addition-
al campus organization fund
ing from reserves are also on
the agenda.
Newly introduced legis-
lation will include commen-
dations to the KSU Horse
Judging Team and the K-State
Crops Team, and resolutions
lo support a Campus Com-
mitment to Sustainability and
the K State Proud Campaign
"I think (the K-State
PROUD Campaign | is a great
way to support our fellow stu-
dents at K-State." said Lydia
Peele, student body vice pres-
ident, "Especially after (he
success we had last year We
can see the difference those
donations are making"

Candidates
should address
issues, not fight
With presidential primary season and
the quest for party nominations well under-
way, the campaign trail yets a little dirtier ev-
ery day Only a few cau-
cuses down and a long
nomination process ahead
of us. we already are see
ing too much character as
sassination and too little
discussion of ideas
The 2008 campaign
already is predicted to
be the dirtiest presiden-
tial campaign in histo
ry," according to an ABC
"20/20" news report; very
fitting wtili I he trend in
national politics.
Though much has been said about the
general decline of civility in US politics,
the trend 1 find particularly disturbing is the
tendency to demonize one's opponents By
this I mean the tendency to attack the char-
acter of those with whom one disagrees rath-
er than to debate the merits of their position.
While such character assassination has
been around since humans first had cause to
disagree with one another, it seems it has be-
come more prevalent Consider, for example,
the tone of discourse exhibited by presiden-
tial candidates. All loo often, exchanges be-
tween and even within the political parties
deteriorate into character assassination and
dirty campaigning
In an interview on "NOW" on PBS. vet
eran campaign strategist Rod Shealy said,
' [ rhc| challenge as a campaign is to damage
your opponent without getting caught doing
it " This is indicative of the trend in US poli
tics
There are several reasons why this
should be concerning, but the most press-
ing is this when we Tail to engage in the
thoughtful examination and discussion of
ideas and seek instead to reach our goals
through personal attacks, the democratic
process itself becomes corrupted
Democracy is founded on the idea of
government for and by the people But we,
the people, cannot make informed decisions
as they relate to the governing of our country
unless we have considered and understood
« . •
Nate Schmidt | COLLtt .IAS
all sides of an issue It seems truth seeking
and the genuine desire to debate ideas in an
effort to find viable solutions have fallen by
the wayside, replaced by the insatiable need
to win
This is exemplified by the fact that the
presidential candidates appear to spend more
time discussing their opponents than discuss-
ing their ideas
According to an article written by John
Dickerson of Slate magazine, candidates
spent more time in the weeks leading up to
the Nevada primaries accusing each other of
dirty tactics than they did campaigning.
How can voters be expected to choose ihe
candidate who best represents their hopes
and ideas for the future when all they have
heard discussed is each candidate s sordid
past?
It is beneath us as a people to sink to
such low tactics as attacking one another's
religious beliefs and personal character. And
it is certainly beneath those who aspire to
the highest office in the land.
Presidential campaigns should be a plat-
form for high minded debate and the discus
sion of issues and ideas which will determine
the direction of our nation We should expect
more of our future president, whomever they
might be, than mudslinging and push polling

MARK
WAMPLER
On Monday, our nation took a lit
tie vacation to honor the son of a Bap-
tist minister and a schoolteacher from
Atlanta, Ga His
name was Martin Lu-
ther King Jr , and his
life has been taught
to us since the earli-
est years of elementa-
ry school
The danger with
being taught such im
portant histury al
such a young age is
thai over time the in-
formation becomes
tame and simply the material of leg-
end King was an extremely hardwork-
ing individual who lived by the in
creasing! y rare principles ol faith and
vision These were based on the print i
pies of the life a) Jesus Christ found in
the gospels, and on Mahatma Gandhi
We must go past the vague gen-
eralities of our younger years and re-
study his life Our nation is a Jmmu i
ly belter place because ol King's influ-
ence, words and convictions Ah a col
umiiisl I take to bean what King said.
"Our lives begin lo end the day we be
come silent about things that matter"
As a Baptist preacher, King lived
whal he preached He first achieved
national recognition when he helped
mobilize the boycott of the Mont
gomery bus system in 1955 following
Rosa Parks' now well-known refus-
al to move to the back of the bus. King
earned his first great victory as a civil-
rights leader when Montgomery buses
desegregated the following year
King would go on to found the
Southern Christian Leadership confer-
ence, which mobilized black churches
to conduct nonviolent protests. King
would follow in this tradition for the
rest of his short life
One of the most striking examples
of King's Life is the stark contrast of his
teachings of nonviolence compared to
that of the Vietnam War As our nation
became increasingly agitated by the
war, the violent mentality earned over
into the civil- rights movement. Con-
temporaries of King like Malcolm X
thought violence was the quickest and
surest way of obtaining equality King
did not budge, and that eventually cost
Ii ii n his life in 1968 King stood like a
rock against the constant threat of vi-
olence that threatened to blow up the
movement tie helped start
King said it much better than I
can: "Violence as a way of achieving
racial justice is both impractical and
immoral It is impractical because it is
a descending spiral ending in destruc-
tion for all It is immoral because it
seeks to humiliate the opponent rather
than win his understanding, it seeks to
annihilate rather than to convert Vio-
lence is immoral because it thrives on
hatred rather than love"
Our nation does itself a disservice
by naming schools, roads and build-
ings after him in predominately Afri-
can -American areas of the country.
His name and his legacy should be eel
ebrated in the suburbs as much as in
the projects, and our nation should
be bold in proclaiming the example
of King to every person in the United
States without regard to the color of
their skin
For more on the legacy of King, I
recommend looking up his profile on
Time magazine's Web site, www time
com, appropriately found under the
"Time 100 most influential people of
the century"
I leave you with the words of King
in his 1964 Nobel Prize acceptance
speech: "Nonviolence is the answer to
the crucial political and moral ques-
tions of our lime The need for man
to overcome oppression and violence
without resorting to oppression and vi-
olence. Man must evolve for all human
conflict a method which rejects re-
venge, aggression and retaliation The
foundation of such a method is love"

TO THE POINT
Graduating math teachers needed in sparse field of instructors
Becoming a math
teacher does not add
up. As K-State will
graduate a re-
cord number
of math teach-
ers this spring,
one has to won-
der: Why would
anybody want
to become a
math teach-
er'' Math teachers are
sometimes stereotyped
i
TO THt POINT is an
editorial selected
arid debated by
the editorial board
and written after
a majority opinion
is formed This is
the Collegian's
official opinion
as teachers who do not
care about their stu-
dents, go over materi-
al way too fast,
and create an
intense envi-
ronment for
slow learners
With all
this said, it is
encouraging
that students
still want to earn a de-
gree in math educa-
tion. Their efforts are
applauded, but math
teachers still have plen-
ty of challenges ahead.
But are these math
teachers from K- State
and across the country
ready for the challeng-
es?
The U.S. Depart-
ment of Education con-
ducted a survey in 2007
about differences in
elementary students
math scores state to
state. Compared with
a previous survey in
2005, Kansas improved
its math test scores at
grade eight but not at
the high school lev-
el. This is the level that
needs the most im-
provement. The tests
examined different
mathematics content in
a variety of areas.
According to the
National Council of
Teachers of Mathemat-
ics, in the United States
approximately 1.8 mil-
lion elementary school
and 225,000 second-
ary school math teach-
ers are needed With a
need this large, the na-
tional council might
need to come up with
some great solutions
to its big problem The
answer to the problem
only will come with
time, if the new teach-
ers make a difference -
in test scores and reten-
tion rates and improvd
the stereotype of math
teachers, then they are
bound to make an im-
provement in math ed-
ucation
Hopefully a few
K-State graduates will
become part of the so-
lution

City's air, water clear,
healthy for residents
Student hopes to end poverty, attract K-Staters to group

KANSAS STAT I COLLEGIAN
Manhattan provides its
residents with clean air and
water and a safe environment
Tom Gross, acting bureau
chief for the Bureau of Air and
Radiation within the Kansas
Department of Health and En-
vironment, said since Manhat-
tan is a smaller city there are no
monitoring systems that check
the air However, as a state, the
air quality seems lo be improv-
ing because air regulations are
becoming more strict
*We think it is important
to maintain clean air in Kan-
sas because air pollution affects
the young and old." Gross said.
Gross said the Kansas City
area meets standards of clean
air as do other regions in Kan-
sas
There are continuous
monitoring devices that check
the air around the state. Gross
said
Pollutants in the air come
from automobiles and indus
tries, but it depends on indi-
vidual cities in determining the
biggest contributor of air pollu-
tion.
"If people are worried
about the air they could take a
bus, ride a bike or buy energy-
efficient products to help the
environment," Gross said
Reducing the use of wood-
burning fireplaces is an exam-
ple to help prevent more pol-
lutants in the air, said Steven
Galitzer, director of the K-State
Department of Environmental
Health and Safety
Galitzer has lived in bigger
cities that had poor air quality,
and he said he thought Man-
hattan had clean air
"The air in Manhattan is
good since there are no big in-
dustries sending out stuff in the
air," Galitzer said. "In compari
son to other Kansas cities, there
is not the kind of haze here you
would find in other places"
Galitzer said as Manhattan
grows into a bigger city with a
bigger population, there might
be more ear emissions and light
pollution in the air
On campus, there is an air
quality pennit that looks at all
emissions produced on campus
and calculates what is being
put into the air Galitzer said
the campus had good air be
cause there were no emissions
produced beyond the permit's
regulations
Water on campus is also
safe to drink because it is test-
ed, Galitzer said
Galitzer said people have
called him with concerns about
old buildings that had discol
ored water, but he assured
them if they let the water run it
would become clear and safe to
drink
The water is brown at
times because it has iron in it,
Galitzer said It is safe because
there is not a large amount of
iron present All the older pipe
systems on campus have been
tested to ensure clean wBter
"The water on campus has
no true health hazards by the
sanitation code." Galitzer said
In Manhattan, Jerry Mclrt
tyre, deputy director of Public
Works, said water is clean and
treated.
"The water is regulated
by the state's Department of
Health and Environment as
safe lo drink." Mclntyre said
Mclntyre said since Man-
hattan is bigger than some
Kansas cities, there are more
sophisticated systems treating
the water and softening the wa-
ter.
"Softening the water is re-
moving the hardness of wa
ter, which is removing miner-
als such as calcium and magne-
sium," Mclntyre said
Mclntyre said drinking
water with calcium and mag-
nesium are not hazardous to a
person's health, but they are re-
moved for washing purposes
"Water in Manhattan is
high quality," Mclntyre said

One person dies every
three seconds from pover-
ty, hunger, lack of clean wa
ter and/or HIV/ AIDS, said
the president of the K-State
chapter of a poverty fighting
organization.
David Westfall, graduate
student in sociology and pres
ident of the K State chapter
ol the organization ONE, re
cently joined more than 120
student activists from across
the United States at a special
summit on ending poverty,
the ONE Power 100 Summit
from )an 2 5, in Washington.
DC.
Westfall came back to
campus inspired to get stu-
dents involved in the ONE
Campus Challenge The chal-
lenge is to get universities
connected with the national
ONE campaign by participat-
ing in more than 100 activi
ties, which earn universities
points The lop 10 universi-
ties will be included in an all-
university vote to earn a con
cert by a top recording artist
at the winning campus
Amanda Staats. fresh
man in pre- professional busi-
ness administration and a
member of the organization
of ON E, said it is an easy way
to change the world
"People should try (the
ONE organization) because
its a simple way to make a
difference and get the mes-
sage out there," Staats said.
Westfall will recruit stu-
dents to participate in the ac-
tivities during the chapter's
first meeting at 5 30 p.m
Jan 29 in the K State Stu
dent Union Food Court.
The K-State chapter will
work with surrounding uni-
versities like Kansas, Mis
suuri, Colorado and Missouri
State The chapter is ranked
No 26 out of 1,300 active
universities.
Westfall said he fosters a
passion about raising aware-
ness at different universities
to connect to the larger cam-
paign.
"Here at K State we
have a large group of pas-
sionate people," Westfall said
Th# problem is people don't
know about the issues Even
though we have our problems
here, there's a larger picture
at hand."
He said there are Amer-
icans who are impoverished.
and the government needs to
get involved.
Westfall said the ONE
campaign is nonpartisan
"There is only ONE side
to the fight against poverty."
he said
There are 2 5 million
members involved with the
the ONE campaign world-
wide. More than 100 of the
most respected nonprofit or
ganizations are working to-
ward achieving the eight mil-
lennium development goals
end hunger, establish uni-
versal education, gender eq-
uity, child health, maternal
health, combat HIV/AIDS,
environmental sustainabih-
ty and global partnership, ac-
cording to the organization's
Web site
More than 188 countries
have signed on to work to-
ward these goals lo end glob

Less than 1 percent of

The International Moni

site down because ol the
amount of e-mails it received
and because of the lack of

KState (13-5, 5

12 of 21. which amount
ed to 571 percent. Coach
Deb Patterson said the
Wildcats shot well, and
the amount of threes hit
in this game has been a
reoccurring theme when
the Wildcats and Cy-
clones play.
"When Iowa State
and Kansas State play, it's
likely to see a fair number
of threes." Patterson said
"The team played well lo
gether on the offensive
end. and we made good
decisions tonight''
KState played sti-
fling defense the whole
game, going on runs of
14-0 and 17-0, one in each
half of play. The Wildcats
are 5-0 in conference play
for the first time since the
2002-2003 season
KState held the Cy-
clones to only 36- percent
shooting for the game and
30 8 percent from behind
the arc Patterson said
she was pleased with the
style of defense the Wild
cats played in the game
"Defensively. we
brought a great effort to
the floor," Patterson said
■Defensively, we thought
we defended the three-
ball"
K-Stale is ranked
at the top of the confer-
ence standings with Bay
lor, who is also 5-0 in the
Big 12. K Stale will face
Oklahoma State in Still
water, Okla., Sunday. The
Cowboys are fresh off
their 70-63 victory over
Texas on Wednesday and
are 4-1 in conference
play
Though KState re
ceived a No. 22 ranking
by the Associated Press
last week, Lehning said
the' team isn't letting its
ranking change the game
plan
"[Oklahoma State] is
a tough and disciplined
team," Lehning said
"We have the same focus
we've had - being ranked
doesn't mean anything at
this point"

I U Pill's Hunter to coach barefoot to raise awareness
IHlANMlUAIHi ma
INDIANAPOLIS - For
once, Ron Hunter won't be
able to stomp
Hunter will coach bare-
foot in lUPUI's game against
Oakland University on Thurs-
day to raise awareness for chil
dren in need. His goal is lo
send 40,000 pairs of shoes to
Africa in honor of the 40th an-
niversary of the death of Dr
Martin Luther King |r.
"If a five- or six-year-old
kid can walk around their en
tire life with no shoes on, then
surely, in a warm climate, in a
basketball environment. I can
do it," he said "They may not
hear my stomps like they usu-
ally do"
Hunter is working through
a Charlulte. N.C., charitable
organization called Samari-
tan's Feet, which was found-
ed four years ago by Emman-
uel "Manny" Ohonme
A native of Nigeria.
Ohonme received his first pair
of shoes at the age of 9 from
an American missionary He
eventually earned a scholar
ship lo play basketball at Lake
Region State College in North
Dakota
Samaritan's Peel wants to
send 10 million pairs of shoes
to children around the world
in 10 years
Hunter said he learned
about Samaritan's Feel after
a mutual friend gave his num-
ber to Ohonme Samaritan's
Feet came up with the idea for
Hunter to go without shoes
"They told me the idea,
and at first I kind of laughed,
because 1 thought surely they
were joking about that," he
said "But they weren't"
Then. Hunter remem-
bered a recruiting trip to La-
gos, Nigeria, four years ago.
where he saw examples of ex-
treme poverty That, the call
from Ohonme and prayer were
enough to persuade him to go
shoeless for a night.
Hunter told his team
about the mission, and it
moved freshman Christian
Siakam, who is from Camer-
oon.
"He said a lot of col
lege athletes, when they get
their free pair of shoes, they
take those things for granted
There's so many kids, includ-
ing people in his family, that
don'l have shoes It's hitting
home with him," Hunter said

EXPLOSION IN BAGHDAD
KILLS 17
BAGHDAD - A thun-
derous blast lore through a
vacant apartment building in
northern Iraq on Wednesday,
killing at least 1? civilians snd
wounding more than 130 in
adjacent houses just minutes
after the Iraqi army arrived to
investigate tips about a weap
ons cache
Rescue crews searched
under toppled walls, col
lapsed ceilings and piles of
debris tossed by the explosion
that blew apart the empty
building, which Iraqi author-
ities said was used by insur-
gents to stash weapons and
bombs
The hunt through the
wreckage stretched for hours,
raising the possibility the final
casualty loll could climb. The
huge blast went off just after
the troops arrived, and no sol
dier was reported killed
Instead, the explosion
ravaged dozens of old homes
and collapsed a three-sto-
ry building In a mostly Sun-
ni neighborhood in Mosul,
about 225 miles northwest of
Baghdad.
The blast also reinforced
U.S. claims this week that
Mosul - Iraq's third largest
city - is now the last urban
center with a strong presence
of al-Qaida in Iraq American
and Iraqi forces have been on
the offensive against insur-
gents in and around Baghdad,
but Mosul continues to be a
center of gravity for al-Qaida
in Iraq, according to the mili-
tary.
AFGHAN PRESIDENT
WARNS OF INSTABILITY
DAVOS, Switzerland
Afghanistan's president
warned Wednesday that the
whole world could suffer
from the "wildfire" of terror-
ism engulfing his region, a
grim message for a meeting
of political and business lead-
ers already fretting over the
threat of global recession.
Formally opening the
World Economic Forum.
Hamid Karzai gave a sober-
ing rundown of recent attacks
attributed to Islamic extrem-
ists - among them the assas-
sination of Benazir Bhutto
and bombings in Afghanistan
and Pakistan that have killed
hundreds, including many
children.
With militant violence
still on the rise in the two na-
tnmji six years after the ouster
of the Taliban, "it seems like
the mutant of extremism is
dangerously unleashed across
the region.' Karzai said The
trend "bodes terribly badly for
the whole world," he said.
In an apparent allusion
to Pakistan - whose presi-
dent. Pervez Musharraf, orig-
inally supported the Taliban
- Karzai called terrorism "a
venomous snake that some
among us tried to nurture and
befriend at the expense of
others, which I hope we real-
ize now was a mistake"
AFGHAN JOURNALIST
SENTENCED TO DEATH
FOR BROTHER'S CRIME
KABUL, Afghanistan -
An Afghan journalist who was
sentenced to death for dis-
tributing an article about Is-
lam and women's rights is ac-
tually being punished for his
brother's reporting on abus
es by warlords, a media group
said Wednesday
Sayed Parwez Kaam-
bakhsh. 23, was sentenced
to death Tuesday by a three-
judge panel in the northern
city of Mazari- Sharif for dis-
tributing a report he printed
off the Internet to fellow jour-
nalism students at Belkh Uni-
versity.
The article asks why men
can have four wives but wom-
en can't have multiple hus-
bands It was written in the
Iranian language of Farsi,
which is similar to the Afghan
language of Dari.
The judges said the ar-
ticle humiliated Islam, and
members of a clerics council
had pushed for Kaambakhsh
to be punished. The case now
goes to the first of two ap-
peals courts.
Jean Mackenzie, coun-
try director for the Institute
for War and Peace Report-
ing, which helps train Afghan
journalists, said Kaambakhsh
was being punished for sto-
ries written for IWPR by his
brother, Sayed Yaqub tbrahi-
mi.
"We feel very strongly
that this is a complete fabri-
cation on the part of the au-
thorities up in Mazar, de-
signed to pul pressure on Par-
wez' brother Yaqub, who has
done some of the hardest hit-
ting pieces outlining abuses
by some very powerful com-
manders in Balkh and the
other northern provinces,"
MacKenzie said

HOMELESS | solutions
coming for homeless
ConHntwdfmmP»9f1
has noted a significant in-
crease in the occurrence of
homelessness in Manhat-
tan, especially in the last two
years
"(Homcleuness is] hard
to measure, but we have been
at capacity and have turned
away more than 400 people
in the past two years" Sem
pie said
Scmple also said the need
for proper shelter is much
greater now and the shel-
ter is seeing more families in
distress Several factors con-
tribute to the rise of home
lessnesa, including lack of af
fordable housing, shortage of
daycare and wages that are
too low to accommodate cost
of living, she said
"We are trying to look
at creating solutions, and we
need support from the com-
munity," Scmple said

Ringing
in the
new year
New technology improving, making way to market in 2008
By Brandon McAtee
KANSAS STATE COLLEGIAN
Every year brings new and exciting gadgets especially in this rap-
idly growing technological world This year is no different, especially
with items geared toward college students.
Many students can be seen around campus plugged in to their
MP3 players, and two companies making the biggest splashes with
these players tire Apple, with their new
iPods, and Microsoft, with the Zune.
Joe Geske, senior customer assis-
tant at Best Buy and sophomore in fine
arts, said the iPod and Zune make up
more than 50 percent of the market
Both are priced the same and start at
a four-gigabyte size, which can hold
about 1.000 songs. Many of them have
video-playing capabilities and can hold
up to 80 gigabytes of space.
The two companies use similar soft
ware to purchase and place content on
the players with Apple's iTunes and Mi-
crosoft's Zune Marketplace The com-
panies now offer a new service through
their softwares that allow users to con-
nect their device to a computer and rent
movies online
The differences between these MP3
players standout mostly with the Zune
It has a built-in FM radio and connects
wirelessly to add songs, while the iPod of-
fers a touch screen interface An accessory to look out for with the
iPod is the new stereo that can serve as a dock, which has wireless
speakers with a battery life of five hours
"You can literally take the speakers with you to the floor below
you in the dorms, and they still work," Geske
Geske also said mure people arc buying the iPod, but (or a week
in December the Zune was outselling the iPod, marking the first time
since the Zune's release
Laptops remain convenient for students, and Lee Overley, gener-
al manager of Staples, said there are two laptops that fit a typical col
lege student's life
The 2737 US Pavillion, which has the fastest AMD processor
available, will connect to all types of wireless connections. It also in
eludes a CD/DVD burner, three gigabytes of RAM, a 250-gigabyte
hard drive, and a built in Web cam
"It has become very pop-
ular with soldiers so they
have one less item to take
with them," Overley said of
the Pavillion.
Another laptop is the
HDX 9010 from Hewl-
ett Packard This laptop
might not be very transfer-
rable, as it is 15.5 pounds,
but it will save space
in any apartment
or dorm room,
ft has a 20-
inch screen that
is movable or
lockable, and has
a HD tuner and HDM1 capability. Users can record on it, similar to
a DVR or watch a Blue Ray movie. The system has two separate 120-
gigabyte hard drives, so users can save music or other media on one.
and work on the other, to keep it from slowing down
"This laptop could be your television, radio, music player and
movie player in one," Overley said
He also pointed out DLP projectors as a hot new item, which dis-
play High Definition television on the wall, making a very large view-
ing area.
Another hot-selling item lately are global positioning systems for
cars, which give directions, among other information Overley said
they were their best selling items during Christmas, despite the high
prices. New features on these items include text to-speech - which
will tell drivers the street name to turn on - and a touch screen that
a driver or passenger can scroll through the map with their finger.
ASK THE FIFTH YEAH

1. Stop stealing from my
friends.

phone char-
ger that be
longs to one
of you. I just
don't know
whom. I just
have this at
traction to

2. Go to
the rec
BuU IV Gutz, Pilates,
maybe even Spintacular if I'm
feeling extra adventurous I
just have to know what all the
fuss is about. So ladies, if you
see a hairy, sweaty guy in one
of your classes, just know he's
not there to "pick you up" I
wasn't blessed with that talent
No. I'm just there to learn
3. Stop answering my sis-
ter's phone calls.
I got this call the other
day.
"Adam, guess what?"
"You're pregnant ... ?"
"No, 1 was watching this
fashion show, and they said
hairy chests are in!"
4. Fix the sink.
My friend Tony said to me
the other day, "Adam, some-
limes they don't need you to
fix the faucet," referring to
women, they just want you to
listen to the leak" Philosoph-
ical genius. Except that 1 tru-
ly do need to fix this beautiful
girl's sink. I was working on it
the other day, and the hot wa-
ter shot straight up through the
cabinet above I get my hands
over it and water's still spray-
ing everywhere, babies are cry
ing, dogs are barking, a win
dow shatters, in the distance
I hear a train whistle and an
old lady cry out in terror, "Ha-
lal! Halal!" (Yes, my fictitious
old women scream like Bugs
Runny l And she just sits there
smiling pretty, looking at me
like the idiot I am. So I figure I
should take care of that.
5. Reverse engineer the
I hi milium' Any Time Fire Log

If Jesus were to endorse a
fire log, this would be the one.
I'm not kidding. This thing's
amazing And apparently, now
they have this Dura/lame Ul-
tra 1 get chills just thinking
about it. I can't wait
6. Get "American Gladia-
tors" canceled.
Don't get me wrong -
I love that they brought the
show back. I don't see why
they got rid of it in the first
place There's no way it was
losing money. But after watch-
ing the first few episodes, 1
can't help but feel disappoint-
ed. I'm still going to watch it,
of course, but why not bring
back the classics? I'm just say-
ing, Nitro and Gemini would
make Titan and Mayhem look
like gentle bunnies
7 Stop referring to wom-
en as "broads."
8. Take advantage of the
Student Union's Ride Board.
Rider Wanted Where:
anywhere When: anytime
Conditions: rub my upper thigh
the whole trip You would fig
ure after five years of post-
ing that someone would have
called. That's a free ride, peo-
ple. And let's be honest, its just
a thigh
9 Figure out how I'm still
alive.
It baffles me.
10. Find a mother for my
unborn British baby.
It's not like I've got any-
thing better to do

New text messaging system alerts students of local emergencies
By Sheila Ellis
KANSAS STATt COLLKjIAN
Jessica Heath, junior in
family studies and human ser-
vices, said texl messages are one
of the best ways lo contact stu-
dents.
"Most people have their
phone on them all the time
and it is easier to access than
a computer might be," Heath
said "People are more likely to
check their phones than their e-
mail," she said
Now students, faculty and
staff can be notified almost si-
multaneously via text message
the next time an emergency
takes place The optional ser-
vice became available on Ian
18.
Rob Caffey, director of K-
State's office of mediated educa-
tion and leader of the task force
for the text-messaging system,
said the system allows qualified
users to register their cell phone
numbers on die university's ex
isting eProfile information sys
tern. The text messages will be
sent by Leader Alert, a rapid
notification platform
Caffey said it is crucial for
students and faculty to sign up
for the messages
"We've done a lot of work
to gel the system in place," he
said "It is important people
sign up because it is a voluntary
system."
Caffey said the way the
system works is when peo-
pie sign up on hltps//eid,k-
siateedu their phone numbers
will be sent to a database with
Leader Alert After users regis
ter he said users will receive a
text message to confirm the ser-
vice Then, if an emergency sit-
uation comes up, the police de-
partment or the university can
evoke the system to send out a
message automatically that will
go to ail the numbers in the da-
tabase. He said it could take up
to 30 minutes for the system to
deliver all the messages
Leader Alert handles a lot
of university systems and the
system can handle the entire
number of students, faculty and
staff at K-State, Caffey said
"We hope people will opt
in to this and we hope it is a
valuable resource." he said.
There will be a lest once a
semester lo make sure the sys-
tem is working correctly, Caffey
said The first test will be Feb.
1.
Thomas Kawson, vice pres-
ident for Administration and
Finance at K State, said after
the Virginia Tech shooting last
spring, K- Stale began to eval-
uate its emergency notifica-
tion systems. He said last (all
the university developed a task
force to look into the option of
such a notification system
"We talked lo other univer-
sities in Kansas and found out
they were all in various stages.' '
Kawson said.

A question of content
Hy-Vee proposes bill to increase
alcohol level in legal sales
By Amanda Keirrt
KANSAS SI A tt COUK IAN
A bill requesting that
grocery stores be allowed to
sell wines, spirits and mul-
titudes of other alcohol-
ic items is working its way
through the Kansas legisla-
ture right now
The bill, proposed by
Hy-Vee, would eliminate
the current Kansas law that
prohibits grocery stores
from selling anything with
greater than 3 2 percent al
cohol content
City Commissioner
Bob Straw n said thai re-
moval of this law would al-
ter the face of Kansas as a
state
"Kansas is a pretty con-
servative state It wasn't
long ago that you couldn't
even drink in Kansas at
all." said Strawn "We are
not moving as fast as other
slates around the country in
terms of liquor sales It's a
reflection of who we are as
Kansans"
This conservative "re-
flection" stands firm today
as parts of Kansas do not
sell liquor at all. and most
do not allow liquor sales
on Sundays. Nol long ago.
Kansas would not allow li-
quor at all and even passing
planes would have lo cease
liquor sales over the slate.
Slrawn said
In other states, such as
Missouri, Hy-Vee and oth-
er grocery chains arc able
to sell liquor products al
will, according to the Hy-
Vee Web site Missouri has
no percent age -based liquor
differentiation system.
"There is an open space
today, that if the legislation
is approved, they (Hy-Vee]
will build a liquor store
(here as an extension of the
grocery store." Strawn said
Though it is obvi-
ous that Hy-Vee will make
use of this legislation, oth-
er large grocery chains in
Manhattan must rely on
corporate office decisions.
Though Walgreen s sells'
liquor products in other
parts of the country, it does
not in Kansas and would
continue to avoid selling
liquor if the law were to
change
"I'm sure it's a cor
porale decision that they
made," Cassidi O'Shea.
Walgrecns store manag-
er, said. "We are a pharma
cy, and we want to promote
hcalh It's even hard lo pro-
mote tobacco products, be-
cause we want to promote
healthy living There's prob-
ably tax issues. I'm sure
there's a whole list of rea-
sons why we wouldn't."
Though the law would
prove beneficial to consum-
ers who would only need to
make one stop al the gio-
cery store lo purchase both
food and liquor, the bill
would crush Kansas liquor
stores, Strawn said
|eff Filby. owner ol Filby
Liquor Store, said that this

ness has been threatened by
large grocery chains.
"There is an associa-
tion that a lot of us [inde-
pendent liquor stores) be-
long to that has been fight-
ing this for years, and I as-
sume we'll be righting it
again," Filby said. "This isn't
a new thing; it's been going
on for years''
Filby compared the
ability of chain stores to
sell liquor to that of large
grocery chains ruining the
market for smaller, local
grocery retailer?
"I'm dead set against it
There is no way that we | in-
dependent retailers) could
compete with Hy-Vec and
I lie other major chains with
their purchasing power,"
Filby said
"If the HyVees and
Wa I -Marts and all them
start selling wine and spir-
its and the strong beer, then
the small liquor stores are
out of business."
Strong resistance from
independent liquor stores
and conservatives has
Strawn believing that this
bill will not pass into Kan-
sas law anytime soon
"My guess is that it is
unlikely that it will pass. It
will have fierce resistance
from the conservative leg
islature, and there will be
fierce resistance from the
existing liquor industry,"
Strawn said "I would be
surprised if we have liquor
in grocery stores in the fore-
seeable future "

Student Senate approves slight
increase in student privilege fee
Kansas court upholds murder conviction
against former K-State English professor
By Saiha Harden
KANSAS STATE COLLEtilAN
Student Senate approved
an increase in the Student
Activity fee and the Office of
Student Activities and Servic-
es Privilege Fee in last night's
meeting. The vote to increase
student fees passed with a
53-0-0 vote.
The student activity fee
increase will be less than $1
per student
Included in the list u(
passed bills was an increase
in funds for Mortar Board
Senior Honor Society, Black
Student Union and Sensi-
ble Nutrition and Body Im-
age Peer Educators (SNAC),
which passed 49-0-0
SNAC was looking for
funds to bring in an educa-
tional speaker to address
body image on campus.
"With a speaker like this,
it's very instrumental that
we have support," said Dian
na Schalles, Health Educator
and registered nutritionist at
Lafene Student Health Cen-
ter.
The SGA agenda also in-
cluded the introduction of
two resolutions.
The first resolution was
in support of a campus com-
mitment to environmental
sustainability. Several cam-
pus organizations attended
the meeting in support of the
resolution's passage K-State
received the third lowest
score in the Big 12 confer
ence for environmental sus-
tainability, according to the
resolution.
Members also voted on a
second resolution to support
the K-State PROUD Cam-
paign
The KSU Horse judging
Team and the K-State Crops
Team each received commen-
dations from the Student Sen-

KANSAS STATE COLLHilAN
TOPEKA - The Kansas
Supreme Court has upheld the
murder conviction of former re-
state professor Thomas E. Mur-
ray
Murray. 51, was convict-
ed of first degree murder in the
2003 death of his former wife,
Carmin Ross, also a former K
State employee
Though a Douglas Coun
ty District Court jury found him
guilty in March 2005, Murray
has maintained he was inno-
cent.
The slate's case was consid-
ered circumstantial, but the dis-
trict court noted in its ruling last
Friday that it was not the court's
place to reassess the credibility
of the evidence presented in the
trial, said Run Keelover, Kansas
Supreme Court Education In-
formation Officer
Murray's attorney said
there was prosecutorial miscon-
duct in closing arguments dur-
ing the month-long trial, and
that the judge should not have
permitted hearsay statements to
others by the victim and brief
testimony by a detective con-
cerning Murray's later decision
to decline an additional inter-
view
The court, however, reject-
ed the claim, determining there
was not a sufficient reason to
reverse the verdict.
Though Murray did not tes-
tify in his case, he did speak at
his sentencing hearing, calling
the case a "fairy tale" and that
he would not accept responsi-
bility for an act he did not com-
mit.
Prosecutors, however, were
suspicious of Murray because of
his statements in a ntne-and-a
half hour interview with detec-
tives the night his ex-wife was
killed Murray didn't even ask
about how Ross died until two-
and-a-half hours into the inter
view
"Although no one had in
formed the defendant how Car-
min died, he told the police in
his interview that he would not
have done anything 'like they
were suggesting' because he
was a 'thinking man,"' said Jus
tice Robert E. Davis, writing
for a unanimous court. "He ex-
plained that if he were going to

KANSAS STATE COLLEGIAN
Cries of injustice
Movies insensitively mock
unplanned pregnancies
KEISEY
CHILDRESS
I musl have missed the
memo when unplanned pregnan-
cy became funny Sometimes real
life just isn't as
humorous as it
would seem in
the movies.
"Juno," a
movie written
by a clever ex-
stripper and
one of the big-
gest indie films
to come along
in a while, is
about a 16-
year-old getting
pregnant by her best friend
While it is charming, and the
young love between Juno and her
Paulie Bleeker seems very real,
the entire event the plot is based
on - a teenager getting pregnant
- doesn't really amuse me.
Movies about unplanned
pregnancies like "Juno" and
"Knocked Up" are making some
thing funny that isn't funny at
all According to the American
Pregnancy Association, 468,988
babies are born to teenage moth-
ers every year Assuming the ma
jority - if not all - of these are
unplanned, this is not funny.
This is a serious problem that
shouldn't be taken lightly
Even adults who have the
resources to take care of an un-
planned pregnancy and the sub-
sequent child shouldn't have
their situation treated humorous
ly The Centers for Disease Con-
trol & Prevention claimed that in
2001, about one-half of pregnan-
cies in the United States were
unintended
With Plan B, the "morning
after pill," now available over the
counter and contraceptives avail-
able almost anywhere (even in
public bathrooms), it is easier
than ever to prevent pregnancy
When a woman becomes
pregnant with a baby she isn't
ready for, she could give the
baby up for adoption, which
is an increasing burden on the
state
The slate must then take
care of these children in group
or foster homes until someone
comes along to take I hem home
Many children who go into
foster care suffer sexual or phys
ical abuse by their foster par-
ents. The Admin istra
lion of Children and Families, a
division of the US Department
of Health and Human Services,
said in 2005 about 25 percent of
children in foster homes were ex-
periencing abuse More than 62
percent of those cases were be
cause of malnutrition and more
than 9 percent were of a sexual
nature.
Pregnancies don't always
end happily In the real world,
the person who knocks you
up might not be the guy you're
meant to be with. He prubably
won't be as cute as Michael Cera
or as sweet as Seth Rogen
The father might be some
other girl's husband or a guy
who already has 10 kids He
probably doesn't love the moth-
er and most likely won't be ex
cited at the idea of having a baby
to take eare of, especially if both
parents are still in high school
If Americans think un-
planned pregnancy is so hilari-
ous, what else will suddenly be-
come funny'' Maybe drug addic-
tions or domestic violence will
be in the next big comedy block-
buster
Pain, suffering, awkwardness
and desperation are starting lo
define comedy
Hollywood writers are chip-
ping away trying to find hunnn
out of anything they can lo make
more money from, and 1 belu-vi
unplanned pregnancy shouldn't
be urn' of those things

During
an on -air
broadcast,
in response to fellow Golf
Channel anchor Nick Faldo's
suggestion that in order to
beat Tiger Woods on the golf
course, young golfers "should
just gang up [on Woods] for
a while," his co-host Kelly
Tilghman replied, "lynch him
in a back alley"
Imagine for a mo-
ment that Tilghman's state-
ment was completely inno-
cent, only referring to the rel-
ative impossibility of beat-
ing Woods on the golf course
She simply meant to be com-
plimentary of his superior
game Her comments weren't
racist, and she doesn't see
color at all. Lynching is a
word unrelated to race that
simply denotes "ganging
up" on an opponent to en-
sure victory. It could be true,
but so could the opposite -
she could be a card-carry
ing Klan member - and it
wouldn't matter.
What should break the
heart of the burgeoning so-
cial activist is these issues get
any attention at all While
coverage of these remarks is
limited to the sports world
- perhaps the noose on the
cover of Golfweek maga-
zine was a bit much - we
are not so far removed from
the media circus that sur
rounded Don Imus and Dog

US leaders spoke out and
marched, and according to
Coif com, Al Sharpton was
on TV the next morning de-
manding Ms Tilghman be
fired
Don Imus was fired
and subsequently rehired af-
ter a whirlwind mca culpa
tour. Dog the Bounty Hunter
was lambasted in the media,
which led lo a tearful apology
on Larry King Live complete
with the earth-shattering re-
alization that he was, in fact,
not black
Even dialogue about race
in the 2008 presidential elec-
tion focuses on candidates'
comments and not their legis

America's con intimity of col-

It's sad the entirety of
the modern-day civil -rights

ures and their racist remarks,
which have left perhaps tens

It's sad they utterly ig-
nore the fact that, according
to the 2006 edition of "The

ca," 30 percent of black U.S.
urban families live below the
poverty line, more than 10
percent of black people are
unemployed and 32 percent
of black US citizens have a
zero or negative net worth
Black people make up 44

Manhattan looks a lot

have approved.

in some cases, gotten a
bad deal.
The area around the
intersection of
Fort Riley Bou-
levard and Blue
mont Avenue
has been the fo-
cus of much of
the development
in the city When
incoming freshmen ar-
rived in Manhattan in
fall 2004, there was no
1HOP or Best Buy, and
these business have now
been welcomed by most
residents.
The area is now also
a possible location for a
Hy-Vee grocery store. We
are glad that Manhattan
is bringing in businesses
and jobs, but if a Hy-Vee
is built near Bluemunt
Avenue, it will be the
fourth large grocery store
in a small area, along
with Wal-Mart, Dillon's
and Walgreens. Perhaps
a better place would be
closer to campus or to
other residential areas
Many parts of Man-
hattan would welcome a
business like Hy-Vee, but
for some reason, busi-
nesses seem to set up
shop soon after they exit
Coach Bill Snyder High-
way.
There is nothing
wrong with national
chains, but if Manhat-
tan starts to lose its lo-
cally owned businesses,
like Bob's Diner, the city
could lose its college-
town feel as well. Man-
hattan should encourage
local businesses to open
and expand, and bigger
chains The city should .
strive to offer an envi-
ronment that is friendly
to both locally and non-
locally owned establish-
ments.
We are glad Man-
hattan is growing, but •
it should grow for the
needs of Manhattan res^
idents, not just for the
wants of big chain busi-
nesses.

WHO HAS YOUR VOTE
I'r
Women voters strive to educate
themselves on more than gender
This will be the second
article in a fav-week se-
ries examining the vot
ing beluanm of different
groups within society and
their effects on the 2008
presidential election. In
the next few weeks, the
Collegian will examine
the electoral effects of the
black, military and reli-
gious communities na
tionally and locally, m
that order.
By Willow Williamson
KANSAS STATE COLLEGIAN
The gender issues of the
2008 presidential election
are making everyone walk on
lippy-toes. Does Hillary Clin-
ton, D-N.Y.. have the worn
en's vote, and what are wom-
en interested in for the up-
coming election?
In the 2004 presidential
election, women comprised
60,1 percent of the vote,
which amounted to about 8 8
million more women voters
than men, according to the
Web site for the Center for
American Women and Poli-
tics at Rutgers University
The gap between men
and women in this election
was greater than any oth-
er year. In the 2000 election,
though the number of female
votes still beat the number of
male votes, it was by only 3.4
million votes.
Considering the make-
up of the candidates for this
year's presidential election,
it would seem Clinton, who
could become the first wom-
an president in history, could
easily gain the majority of the
women voters, however, at
least on the K-State campus,
Clinton will need to rely on
more than jusl her gender to
get her into the Oval Office.
Many female K-State stu-
dents and faculty are focus-
ing on current issues instead
of gender, race and party af
filiation.
"1 think people should
vote for candidates based on
their issues and certainly not
based on their gender," said
Angela Hubler, director of
women's studies.
She said her students
have said many different is-
sues are important for a can-
didate, including social secu-
rity, alternative energy sourc-
es, education, expanding
medical insurance to low in-
come children, paid paren-
tal leave, withdrawing troops

"Women are concerned
about everything," Hubler
said "Women are not con-
cerned with only gender-spe
cific issues"
Lydia Peclc, student
body vice president and se-
nior in math education, said
she has not yet chosen a fa-
vorite candidate, but she will
focus on issues like the en
vironment, health care, the
war, the economy and cduca
lion when making her deci-
sion.
"I won't vote Republi-
can or Democrat because
they are Republican or Dem
ocrat," Peele said. "I will be
looking at issues and voting
that way"
She said students should
be looking for positive solu-
tions to problems in the U.S.
and not focusing on what
gender, race or party affil-
iation the candidates with
whom they align themselves
"Something I would like
to do is lead by example and
help students find the re-
sources to get the informa
tion," Peele said.
Kimberly Agwu. secre
tary for the Black Student
Union and junior in pre
nursing, also said it is impor-
tant for women to keep up to
date on the election
"[Students should) re-
search and educate them
selves for what is important
to them and look toward the
future." Agwu said
She said some of the
most important issues for
her are health eare. Social
Security and the economy
She said Clinton and Barack
Obama, D-lll best represent
what she is looking for in a
candidate.
"They both speak for the
minority, j Obama | being an
African-American and (Clin
ton| being a woman," she
said
One of the most impor-
tant issues for many wom-
en on campus focuses on the
Iraq war
Agwu said she hopes the
next president will help bring
the U.S. troops out of Iraq,
which in turn, she said could
save the U.S. money, which
could be used for other im-
portant issues like health
care.
Lindsey Kelley, soph-
omore in pre- professional
health education, also said
the Iraq war is an important
issue, which will affect how
she votes
Kelley said she thinks the
U.S never should have gone
to Iraq in the first place and
the troops should be brought
home, however, now that
troops are there, she said the
U.S. can not leave too early
"We've opened a can of
wurms," she said. "We need
to stay and lake care of the
people there"
Kelley said the candi-
dates should focus more on
issues instead of degrading
each other and fighting all of
the time
She said they should
work together and go across
party lines
As an independent, she
said she would like to see an
increase in the importance of
third parties
Overall, Kelley said the
most important thing for
women is to slay educated.
* Ud some research." she
said "Know who you're vot-
ing for and vole. Thai's the
biggest cliche ever, but you
have a voice. Use it"

A new city water-line
project has put a damper on
one Manhattan school - and
might be putting sonic chil-
dren in danger
TAvo-block road closings
in front of Eugene Field Head
Start Building, located at
1700 Leavenworth St., have
restricted drop-off points for
the school.
The road is closed on
Leavenworth between 17 th
and Delaware streets, said
school officials
On the first day oi the
road closures, parents and
school buses were asked to
relocate their drop off-points
to a block awuy. walking the
3- and 4-year-old children
across the 17th Street in-
tersection, said Sally Frick.
school director
"It's pretty much been
complete chaos," Frick said
h can be very dangerous"
Prick said Ihe recon
struclion hit the school by
surprise, but the staff has
tried to adapt as best as pos
sible
Because of the change,
Frick said her staff now
walks the children to and
from school buses, even serv-
ing as crossing guards on the
narrow street
"This closure has cre-
ated a very challenging sit-
uation for the children and
families who attend school at
the Eugene Field Head Start
Building." said Michelc tones,
communication coordinator

Though the street clo-
sure might be considered a
nuisance for some, lones said
the city has worked with the
school to allow parking along
nearby blocks that oihcrwisc
have restricted parking.
School officials said Ihey
are unsure how long the
road closure will last, but un
til then, they will work with
the city to keep students safe

The last time K-Stale
opened conference play
with a 3 record, several of
the current Wildcats were
nut even born
K-Stale (13 4. 3-0 Big
12 Conference) achieved
that mark during the 1987-
88 season, a year thai end
ed in the Midwest Regional
and Elite Eight of ihe NCAA
Tournament
With a team made up of
several freshmen, the Wild
cats arc reaching several
marks which have nol been
reached during their life
times
Even the players who were
alive during the "87-88 sea
son were all very young
The Wildcats' current
attitude? They aren't going
to let up on breaking school
records or be afraid to set
their own. Freshman guard
lacob Pullen said the recent
success is a reflection of the
effort K State has been dis-
playing on the court
"We are working hard
and thai s what we try to do
when we come in [Bram-
lage), we try to always pre-
pare ourselves to get bet-
ter," Pullen said "We want
to keep breaking records for
K-State and we want to do
things K-State hasn't done
in a while"'
Pullen also attributed
t Ik- achievements to recent
maturity as a team, espe-
cially after the Wildcats lost
103-77 lo Xavier Dec. 31, a
game he called a wake up
call.
"We had just beat a lew
teams and it was a wake up
call, losing by 20 points," he
said "IBeastey] didn't have
a good game and it made us
realize what we had to do lo
be a good team "
K State isn't resting on
its 3-0 Big 12 record, though
the inclination to do so
might be strong Freshman
forward Bill Walker point-
ed out the conference title is
the overall goal
"It's nice lo be 3 0. but
the big picture is the Big 12
and we're going to have to
In :i good team to do that,"
Walker said
The next chance to con-
tinue the Big 12 winning

The Cyclones have lost
their last six games in Bram-

"They're not a bad
team, they gave Kansas a

The Wildcats have a
chance to start Big 12 Confer
ence action 6-0. bul they will
also have to defy history to get
the job done.
Since the 2001 season, K
State has started conference
play 5 twice, bul road games
immediately following both
live-game winning streaks end-
ed in defeat In 2001. the team's
first conference loss came in a
game at Oklahoma State

ence play, with their only blem-
ish coming in an upset loss

Oklahoma Stale might come as
a surprise to some people, but
K- Slate coach Deb Patterson
said nothing shocks her when
it comes to competition in the
Big 12
"This is an unbelievably
tough, competitive league," Pat-
terson said Teams are going
lo finish this league with losses
you don't see in the other pow-
er oonfarencea."
Oklahoma Slate was on an
eight-game winning streak be-
fore its loss to the Umghorns,
and coincidentally. the Wild-
cats have won eight straight
games as the\ prepare lot Sun
day's game Even after losing
their last game. Patterson said
she is amazed by the way the
Cowgirls are playing basketball
right now
"The OSU team is play-
ing extraordinary, they arc very
confident," Patterson said. "The
challenge is going to be extraor
dinary"
One of those challenges the
Wildcats will face is Oklahoma
State freshman point guard An-
drea Riley, who had 15 points
and five assists in the losing ef-
fort against Texas Junior point
guard Shake Lehning, who will
be matching up against Riley,
said it is too early in the year
to get caught up in which teams
are winning and losing
"We can't get worried
about what is going on, we
just have lo remain focused on
what we are doing," Lehning
said. "It's still a battle; it's Big
12 basketball every night"

good record in conference play

sun and the Wildcats said that
to be successful on the road
at Oklahoma Stale, thoughts
about starting 6-0 in the Big 12

" We need to work pass-by-

said. "Every night out is a war,

gentlemen, to the show that
is K-State men's basket- -
ball. Yes, this year's group of
Wildcats has displayed many
personalities while modeling
an assortment of hats off the
court, but a single cohesive
unit is beginning to emerge
on the court
This group of freshmen.
combined with some salty
upperclassmcn, is starting to
turn the corner in the ear
ly Big 12 Conference sea-
son The defense that was
once non-existent (for en
ample, Xavier on Dec 31)
is becoming one of the best
in the conference The Wild
cals held Colorado to 56
points in Boulder, Colo . lim-
ited Texas A&M to five field
goals in the second half lasi
Saturday and forced Oklaho-
ma to commit 16 turnovers
in the conference opener.
It is almost as if this K-
Stale team has the treasured
ability to "flip the switch."
When it comes time to step
onto Ihe court, the Wild
cats treat the game with the
mentality that it is indeed
business time It is a trait
thai is coveted by the besl
of college and NBA teams
- having the ability lo stay
grounded with Ihe sireel
clolhes on. then become dif-
ferent animals when the Jor-
dans are laced up.
Some fans mighl have
seen the Internet videos or
press conference interview
clips that display this bunch
of Wildcats as jokesters,
pranksters and just a group !
of guys who like having fun,!
which technically, they are. ■
Sure, it is much easier lo
have fun when you arc win-
ning on the court, but the
righl mix of child-like be-
havior and professionalism
is what this basketball learn
needs at this juncture of the
season. So far that philoso-
phy seems lo be working for
the 13-4 Wildcats
Wednesday's game at
Colorado was just a good in-
dication of how much this
learn cares about winning,
despite its obvious split-
personality disorder If you
couldn't see the angst that
Walker constantly displayed,
or the frustration that Beas-
ley took out on the rim after
a break-away steal, then you
certainly are not viewing this
team as you should be
On the hardwood the
past three weeks, K-State
has been playing as hard, or
harder, than any other team
in Ihe country The defense
is making fantastic stride.,
and we will see how (ar it
has come, as it takes on the
most prolific offense in the
nation when Kansas cuiius
to town next Wednesday
We have a fun-lov-
ing, hard working basket
ball team in Manhattan right
now, and hopefully the fans
can return the favor There
are only seven more home
games left in Ihis 2007 OS
basketball season Only sev-
en more times to watch Bill
and Mike dunk in person;
only seven more limes to
see Clent Slewarl mock the
old Michael Jordan and Lar-
ry Bird McDonald's eon
mercials (see the behind-the-
head three-point shot); and*
only seven more limes as
students and fans to verbally
beat down opposing teams
It all starts tomorrow
against Iowa Stale, so get
ready. Bring your paper, your
voice, wear your purple and
sport that young and cra-
zy attitude The team will be
displaying all of those things,
so why nol do Ihe same'*

KANSAS STATE COLLEGIAN
The track and field team
will meet with two of its usu-
al competitors to represent
the Big 12 Conference in the
Conference Challenge this
Saturday in Lincoln, Neb
K Stale will combine
with Nebraska and Missouri
to take on Colorado State,
Brigham Young and Air Force,
the representatives from the
Mountain West Conference.
K- State coach Cliff Rovel
to said the three Big 12 teams
have the right tools to be suc-
cessful in the meet (hat pits
the two conferences against
each other
"These three schools
are schools that arc relative
ly complete." Kovelto said
"We've been a complete team
traditionally. Nebraska's been
a historically complete team.
Missouri has good quality
throwers and good distance
runners."
The Wildcats are enter-
ing I he meet after a strong
showing at last week's Wild-
cat Invitational Juniors Lo-
re n Groves and Scott Sellers
were named Big 12 Athletes
of the Week following the in-
vitational Groves broke a K
Stale women's record in the
weight throw with a throw of
69-11.50. The loss earned her
an NCAA automatic bid. Sell-
ers also earned an automatic
bid when he cleared a height
of 7-4.50 in the high jump.
The Conference Chal
lenge will be scored as a dual
meet Each team will be able
to enter two athletes in an
event, and the two top per-
formers from each confer-
ence will be scored Rovelto
said he does not mind the dif-
ferent format for the meet
"Having some scored
meets is nice," Rovelto said
"In our sport, we do not
have many of them anymore.
In our sport, they've gone
away from that Most meets
now are more like lime trials
where everyone can just run
fast"
Rovelto said meets like
the Conference Challenge are
important for the team, be-
cause they provide good prac
tice competing at a scored
meet before the team com-
petes in the Big 12 and NCAA
Championships.
"We always try to work in
three or four scored meets in
the indoor and outdoor sea-
son," Rovelto said
In a meet where schools
are grouped together on one
team, coaches can use their
athletes in a way that does not
put as much strain on them
"In this case where it's
three schools frum one con-
ference com peting togeth-
er, you're not forced to have
all your athletes in their best
event," Rovelto said "It's
more forgiving You don't
have to double up as many
kids"
Despite the fact (hat the
teams often compete against
each other, Rovelto said it
will not be awkward team-
ing up with Missouri and Ne-
braska. Because of how often
K-State competes with these
teams, many of the athletes
on each team know each oth
er and are relatively close
[oining up with other
teams is not new to the Wild-
cats either Last year, the learn
competed in the |im Click
Shootout in Tucson, Ariz. The
Wildcats paired up with Tex-
as Tech to represent the Big
12 against the Pacific 10 Con-
ference and the Southeastern
Conference The Big 12 rep-
resentatives finished third in
the competition.

BRAZIL TO COMBAT
DEFORESTATION
BRASILIA, Brazil Brazil
will combat rising deforesta-
tion in the Amazon by send
ing extra federal police and
environmental agents to ar-
eas where illegal clearing of
the rain forest jumped dra-
matically last year, officials
said Thursday
Authorities will monitor the
areas in an attempt to pre
vent anyone from trying to
plant crops or raise cattle
there, Environment Minister
Marina Silva said.
The new measures were an-
nounced after President Luiz
Inacio Lula da Silva called an
emergency meeting of Cab-
in el ministers because new
data showed an apparent re-
versal ol a three-year slow-
down in the Amazon defor-
estation rate.
The clearing of Brazil's Ama-
zon rain forest jumped in the
final months of 2007, spurred
by high prices for corn, soy
and cattle
Agriculture Minister Rein-
hold Stephanes said Latin
America's largest nation has
plenty of available land for
farming and cattle that has al-
ready been deforested Envi-
ronmentalists fear sugarcane,
used here to produce ethanol,
could spread through the rain
forest, but most ethanol oper-
ations arc in southern Brazil

Democrat Dennis Kucinich is
abandoning bid for White House
THE »nm» lATBDMtBSS
CLEVELAND - Dem
ocrat Dennis Kucinich is
abandoning his second,
long-shot bid for the White
House as he faces a tough
fight to hold onto his other
job - US congressman
In an interview with
Cleveland's Plain Dealer,
the six-term House member
said he was quitting the race
and would make a formal
announcement on Friday
"1 will be announcing
that I'm transitioning out of
the presidential campaign."
Kucinich said. "I'm making
that announcement tumor
row about a new direction."
Kucinich has received
liillr support in his presi-
dential bid; he got 1 per-
cent of the vote in the New
Hampshire primary and was
shut out in the Iowa caucus-
es. He did have a devoted
following
Kucinich. 61, is facing four
challengers in the Demo-
cratic congressional prima-
ry March 4. and earlier this
week he made an urgent ap
peal on his Web site for funds
for his re-election Rival Joe
Cimperman has been criti-
cal uf Kucinich for focusing
too much time outside of his
district while campaigning
for president
Kucinich brought the
same sense of idealism to
his second run for president
as he did in his first bid. He
said he was entering the
race again because the Dem-
ocratic Party wasn't pushing
hard enough to end the Iraq
war
Once dubbed the "boy
mayor" of Cleveland, he
made an unpopular decision
to refuse lo sell a public
ly owned utility that pushed
the city into default and
drove him from office
After the city's finan
cial troubles, the mayor
faced death threats, and «;is
forced to wear a bulletproof
vest when he threw out the
first ball at a Cleveland Indi-
ans game
He barely survived a re-
call vote.
But he lost his bid for re-
election as mayor of Cleve-
land in 1978 lo Republi-
can George Voinovich, who
went on to become gover-
nor and then US senator
His life and his political ca-
reer were derailed Kucinich
spent more than a decade
trying to get back into pol-
itics - traveling around the
country and then working
as a teacher, consultant and
television news reporter
During his time in Con-
gress Kucinich has been one
of the most outspoken liber-
als, opposing internation-
al trade agreements like the

City manager of Greensburg
to have seat of honor at
State of the Union address
Federal tax deal to provide faster rebates
in hopes extra spending will revive economy
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
WASHINGTON - Kan
«as will spend even more time
in the national spotlight din-
ing tin- president's State of
the Union address on Mon
day.
Steve Hewitt, the city
manager of Greensburg, Kan ,
has been invited to sit with
first lady Laura Bush during
the annual speech
President Bush is expect
ed to single out Hewitt and
praise his environmentally
friendly rebuilding efforts in
the tornado-devastated city
"It's an incredibly excil
ing opportunity for him and
for our town to be in the
spotlight again, not for the
tornado, but for what we're
doing after with rebuilding,"
said Hewitt's assistant, Stacy
Barnes.
The prime lime billing
for the small western Kan
sas town follows word last
week that Gov. Kathleen
Sebelius was chosen to deliv-
er the Democratic response
to Bush's address from Ce-
dar Crest, the governor's res
idence in west Topeka
Greensburg has won na-
tional attention since officials
voted last month to rebuild
the town's city buildings us-
ing the highest national envi-
ronmental standards for con-
struction. It is believed to be
the first town in the country
to set that goal
The buildings will use re
cycled building materials, al-
ternative energy sources and
fixtures to conserve water.
While they cost more to con
struct, the buildings general-
ly are cheaper to operate and
maintain
Barnes said Hewitt was
"shocked" last week when
he received a series of phone
calls from the White HOUM
inviting him to attend the
speech. He is planning to go
with his wife In past years.
about two dozen guests turn
been invited to sit in the first
lady's box above the House
chamber.
While Hewitt is in Wash-
ington. Barnes said he plans
to meet with Kansas' con
gressional delegation and
thank them for their help
getting federal disaster aid
for Greensburg He and his
wife also are scheduled to see
the White House and other
prominent sights in the na-
tion's Capitol
THE ASSOCIATED PRESi
WASHINGTON - With unprec-
edented speed and cooperation. Con-
gress and the White House forged a
deal Thursday to begin rushing tax re-
bates of $600 to $1,200 to most lax fil-
ers by spring, hoping they will spend
the money just as quickly and jolt the
ailing economy to life
Rebates would be even higher for
families with children.
The one-time tax rebates are at
the center of a bard-won agreement to
pump about Si 50 billion into the econ
omy this year and perhaps stave off the
first recession since 2001
House Speaker Nancy IYIum. He
publican leader fohn Boehner and
Treasury Secretary Henry Paulson
worked out the details in negotiations
that stretched into Wednesday night at
the Capitol
About two thirds of the tax relief
would go out in rebate checks to 1 17
million families beginning in May Busi-
nesses would get $50 billion in incen-
tives to invest in new plants and equip
men!
Individual taxpayers would get up
to $600 in rebates, working couples
$1,200 and those with children an ad
ditional $300 per child under the agree-
ment.
In a key concession to Democrats.
35 million families who make at least
$3,000 but don't pay taxes would gel
$300 rebates.
The rebates would phase out grad-
ually for individuals whose adjusted
gross income exceeds $75,000 and for
couples with incomes above $150,000
Contributions to IRA and 40 Ilk) re-
tirement accounts and health savings
accounts would not count toward the
income limit
"This package will lead to higher
consumer spending and increased busi-
ness investment," Bush said in bailing
the agreement
The bill will go straight to the
House floor next week and on to the
Senate, where some Democrats hope to
add elements such as extending unem-
ployment benefits for workers whose
benefits have run out.
Indeed, many Democrats, such as
Ways and Means Committee Chair-
man Charles Rangel, D-N.Y, and Ed-
ward Kennedy of Massachusetts, the
liberal lion of the Senate, were deeply
unhappy that Pelosi agreed to jettison
that proposal in late-stage talks, as well
as plans to increase food stamp pay-
ments.
"1 do not understand, and cannot
accept, the resistance of President Bush
and Republican leaders to including an
extension of unemployment benefits for
those who are without work through
no fault of their own." Rangel said.
The administration signaled it's un-
likely to welcome efforts to broaden the
measure, and pressure was mounting
in the Senate lo accept the hard-won
deal.
' The American people are not go-
ing to have a lot of patience for taking
time," Paulson said
If the Senate gives quick approv-
al, the first rebate payments could be-
gin going out in May and most people
could have them by Inly, he said
It has become increasingly clear
that the economy is teetering on the
edge of recession, if it hasn't already
gone over that line
The crisis in subprime home loans
has hit hard at many lending institu-
tions, cramping credit for almost every-
one else
Economic growth has all but dis-
appeared, companies are reporting big
losses and Wall Street had been tum-
bling day after day - even after emer-
gency Federal Reserve rate-cutting -
until Wednesday's hopeful talk about
the stimulus deal.
The Dow (ones industrial average
was up more than 100 points Thursday
after soaring nearly 300 the day before
In addition to concerns openly
expressed by lawmakers, members of
Congress are not eager to run for re-
election this fall with voters fearful of
losing jobs in a recession.
For businesses, the stimulus mea-
sure would allow them to immediate
tax write-offs for 50 percent of the pur-
chase price of plants and other capital
equipment and permit small business-
es to write off additional purchases of
equipment.
A provision to allow businesses suf-
fering losses now lo reclaim taxes pre-
viously paid was dropped in end stage
talks

Tattoos revolve around personal significance for local students, residents
6y Hannah Blick
KANSAS MAli COLLEGIAN
Her forearms are riddled with
the marked scars of a past addic-
tion But on her right wrist, a dif-
ferent kind of permanent mark
catches your eye. It's a tattoo.
Shannon "Ducky" Beck-
er said she started getting tattoos
alter she had struggled with cut-
ting - a form of self- mutilation
- and finds it to be a therapeutic
form of expression
"They're much better than the
ugly scars. I get to express myself
in a personal and beautiful way,''
she said.
Becker. Fort Riley resident,
said she now has 14 tattoos, in
eluding her newest, which she had
done Wednesday Her new tattoo
forms a ring on her upper right
leg with her tour sons* names and
their kanji characters - Chinese
symbols that represent different
animals, Becker said. She said she
chose to include the kanji charac-
ters because they describe the an i
mat-like qualities of her sons.
"1 think all people act like an-
imals," she said "And I have four
boys, and I'm the only female
around - means I get to see that a
lot"
Becker said the rest of her tat-
toos have personal meaning to her
in different ways
"This [lattoo] says 'In Vino
Veritas,' which means truth in
wine,'" she said, pointing to a large
heart intertwined wilh thorny vines
on her upper- left shoulder "In
other words, you do things when
you're drunk that you wouldn't
normally do sober
"Most of my bad experienc
es had involved men and alcohol.
Maybe that's why I don't drink
anymore."
Though Becker's tattoos have
meaning for her, not all people's
tattoos are as sentimental Jason
England, a tattoo artist at Twist-
ed Apple Tattoo in Aggieville (for-
merly Fine Line Tattoo) said just
because a lattoo does not have
deep meaning behind it, does not
mean it's not worthwhile.
"As long as you don't ever get
tired of looking at it and it's aes-
thetically pleasing to you. (hen
you don't need lo worry about
the meaning," he said "A tattoo
doesn't always have to have deep,
profound meaning."
OTHER SIDE OF THE NEEDLE
Chris Tassin, the new owner
of Twisted Apple Tattoo, said she
has been tattooing for almost 13
years and has seen a wide range
of tattoo requests, from those with
deep, sentimental value lo some
that are more spur of the mo-
ment
"You'd be surprised how many
people walk in the door and say
'What's the cheapest tattoo you've
got'' That's not the best idea," she
said "Then, when we try to talk
them into putting more thought
into it, they get mad al us People
think it's a fad - its not"
Tassin said Twisted Applet
policy is they will not tattoo mi-

nors because too many people
who get tattoos at a young age re-
gret their decision later.
"It will affect your job oppor-
tunities - a lot of girls worry about
if it'll show in their wedding dress."
she said "It's stuff like that you
have to consider"
As she concentrated on oul
lining a tattoo on a customer, she
also said she enjoys hearing her
clients' stories and the meaning
behind their tattoos, though some
people take it a little too far
"We hear lots of sob stories
in here." Tassin said "Sometimes
1 don't mind it. but sometimes
it's a little more than we need to
know"
England joked across the
room with her, saying: "They think
we're psychiatrists"
THINKING IT THROUGH
Jamie Macke said she has nev-
er regretted getting her tattoos
Macke. senior in English liter-
ature, said she got her first tattoo
when she was 18 She said her dad
told her that tattoos on a woman's
shoulders were unattractive - SO
that's exactly where she put one

CLOVERFIELD AN EXCITING ADDITION TO

The handheld cinema-

most part, but the shaky
camera work will get an-

Unlike "Godzilla,"
"Cloverfield" focuses on its

The film will disappoint
some horror fans wilh its
lack of exposition
We never find out what
the monster is or where it
came from, though a quick
online search will provide
several interesting theories
As a horror movie,
"Cloverfield" is as well-ex-
ecuted and fun lo watch as
anything else in the genre.

Meanwhile. Jane meets

"27 Dresses" is formulaic
and predictable, and the movie
also lacks originality and wit
The script seems cliche with
lines like, "You'd rather focus
on other people's Kodak mo-
ments than make one of your
own"
Director Anne Fletcher, a
former movie choreographer
whose lone directing credit be-
fore "27 Dresses" was 2006s
dance-heavy "Step Up," fails
to make the movie stand oul

"27 Dresses"
*****
Review by Megan MoMt
Devotees of wedding
comedies will love ihe newest
addition to the genre, but oth-
ers might be less enthused.
The addition. "27 Dress-
es," takes its inspiration from
the adage "always a brides-
maid, never a bride" as Jane,
played by Katherine Heigl of
"Grey's Anatomy," endures 27
trips down the aisle as a brides-
maid, never having found a
groom for herself
Jane is in love with her
boss, played by Edward Bums,
who of course treats his ever-
assistant like a faithful puppy.
The situation is exacer-
bated when Jane's sister, Tess,
played by Malin Akerman, be
comes engaged to lane's boss/
crush less, who is beauti-

JUST A NOTE
Music class
benefits
young
students
Shiny brass and wood
instruments stood on dis-
play Their extrinsic keys and
mouthpiec-
es waited for
eager 10- and
1 1 year-olds
lo hold them
and breathe
life into them
The first
notes sound-
ed atrocious
and pierc-
ing. But these
students and
their teachers
paid little attention. They came
to make music
Fifth grade often is a be-
falling time in children's lives
because band class starts and
the chance to leam an instru-
ment eels just like the first time
they picked up a basketball
During the last de-
cade, music programs in pub-
lic schools have declined. The
Music for All Foundation pro
duced "The Sound of Silence
- The Unprecedented Decline
in Music Education in Califor-
nia Public Schools" with data
from the California Depart-
ment of Education. The study,
released in September 2004, re-
vealed that 50 percent fewer
students enrolled in music pro-
grams in 2003-04 than in 1999-
2000 :
New York Mayor Michael,
Bloomberg announced in sum-
mer 2007 that New York City
schools would be required to
teach the arts, which includes
music, according tu a Dec 25,
2007, article in the New York
Times. To put some teeth in the
initiative, Bloomberg said prin-
cipals would be rated annually
on their successes with leach-
ing the arts, just as they are
with other academic subjects !
Music means mure than
just another required subject
for students. For some, it's a
golden opportunity and a life-
line. Not every child is a young
Einstein in math and science or
a star on the soccer field. But
music - a universal language
- lives in some children and
waits for that moment, late in
elementary school, when they
can choose their sound.
Research in recent decade*
has shown that music stud-
ies can help improve IQ and
SAT scores With standardized
testing aside, making music is
about basic human wants and
desires; music lells stories that
we often cannol tell one anoth-
er in words.
"The arts are basic Mu-
sic should be an essential sub-
ject of every person's life," Paul
Stewart said in "The True In-
trinsic Value of Music Study"
an article in the April-May
2007 "American Music Teach-
er."
"The basic, intrinsic val-
ue of music study comes shin
ing through during every en-
semble rehearsal, every group
lesson, every pnvate music les-
son, every practice session and
in every performance venue
throughout the world"
Many of us probably do
not play the instruments we
played during our elementary
years Instruments, sheet music
and music stands sitting at Ihe
back of our closets should be
donated to schools so another
child can have Ihe opportunity
we once anticipated
Organizations like VHl's
Save the Music Foundation
also are dedicated to serve el
ementary school children of
all backgrounds and abilities.
Since its start in 1997, Save the
Music has donated about $40
million worth of musical instru-
ments to 1,500 public schools .
and improved ihe lives of more
than 1 million children.
The game shot or prize-
winning science fair project for
some students happens the first
time they put on a crisp white '
shirt and black pants. They sit ■

INKED | Students advise putting thought, time into decision to get tattoo
Continued from Pag* 1
"1 was young and rebel-
lious," she said "I just wanted
to make my dad mad And he
was"
But Macke had more rea-
son for tattooing herself than
just angering her father The
tattoo - a sacred heart on her
left shoulder - was inspired
by the 1996 movie "Romeo +
|uliet" in which John Leguiza
mo's character Tybalt Capulet
sports the traditionally- Cath-
ueii'iittt/' Oiijlitf $':r*ite
Beginning January 2$th,

*l thought of that movie
as like the Shakespeare story
of our generation - and I've
always loved literature and
reading, and I thought that
would be something I would
always love," Macke said
"Plus. I love the religious as-
pect of it"
Since then, Macke, now
31. has gotten four more tat-
toos - all with personal mean-
ing Her most recent is a lo-
tus flower on the back of her
neck. Macke said to her, the
lotus symbolizes overcoming
obstacles in life.
For a lot of people, t
think it's more about getting
the tattoo For me, it's much
more about the having of the
tattoo," she said.
Chad Miller, sophomore
in electrical engineering, said
he also understands the im-
portance of thinking through
the decision to get a tattoo
"You're nervous because
you're not sure if it will hurt
or if you will like it. but at the
same time you're really ex
cited because you're getting
something that you've maybe
always wanted." Miller said
He also said if someone
is considering getting a tattoo,
it's important to consider all
angles of the decision.
"Make sure you're getting
something you'll like forever,"
he said "Also, find a tattoo
artist that you're comfortable
with"
Miller has one tattoo -
a Korean character meaning
respect" - but he said it is
one he put thought into and
has significance for him.
"The word respect means
a lol to me since I've been do
ing martial arts for most of my
life." he said. "And I chose to
use a Korean character be-
cause most of my martial arts
are Korean."
Becker also said she feels
confident in her decision to
show off her tattoos.
"A lot of people say that
I'm a 'walking billboard.' but
I don't see it as Unit , Hcckcr
said "1 see it as self- ex pre*
sion
"Tattoos are also a way to
open up to people Like when
you smile at someone, they
will usually smile back. * In-
said "When they sec your (at
toos and ask you about it, you
gel the chance lo share what il
means to you, to share a port
of yourself. And when you
open up lo people, thai opens

Expo featured in Union
Connnutd from Paget
for the Union Program
Council, said, "My freshman
year I wenl to the |Expuj. and
that led me to the organizations
that I am involved in now."
The Expo provided ac-
tivities for students like mak
ing their own hot chocolate,
s' mores and snowflake picture
frames Campbell said these ac-
tivities were in conjunction to
the theme of Ihe evening.
"Our theme is Warm up to a
new semester?* Campbell mU
The event also featured
swing dancers from Ihe K- State
Swing and Salsa Club.
Most of the organizations that
had information booths set up
in the Union gave away can-
dy and take-home souvenirs
like pens and keychains to at-
tract students lo their tables.
The purpose is to talk lo the
students about the organiza-
tion and send them home with
pamphlets and papers with
more information that might
have not come across in the
conversation at the organiza-
tion's table
"This | Expo] has helped
me to see organizations that I
can get involved in," Lambert
said if I only join one orga-
nization, I will be involved on
campus and possible join other
organizations."

Sitting in the middle of Weber Arena, four professors watch as a sheep is released during a joking round of bull poker. The next round was played with four
contest jnts from the audience with a real boll.
Cowboy poker amusing at first, then turns dangerous
By Sarah Burford
KANSAS STATE COLLEGIAN
The fifth-annual Brett Cushenbery Me-
morial Bullriding gave poker players a run
for their money on Saturday during an event
called cowboy poker at Weber Arena
"Coming up here, we've got some cow-
boy poker ... if you know what I'm talkin'
about," the announcer said
Some audience members knew what he
was talking about - it could be a dangerous
event. Others shrugged their shoulders, not
knowing what to expect
He encouraged the K-State professors in
the stands to come down for a game of poker
played in the middle of the arena. The play-
ers were Ken Odde, head of the Department
of Animal Sciences and Industry; Dave Nich-
ols, professor in animal sciences and indus-
try; Dan Moscr. associate professor in animal
sciences and industry, and Russ Goltlob, ro-
deo coach
The four sat down at the card table in the
middle of the ring, not knowing what to ex-
pect The gates flung open, and a sheep came
rushing into the arena. Cowboys and clowns
playfully tried to excite the sheep, and au-
dience members chuckled They knew what
was supposed to come out of that gate in real
cowboy poker.
After several more rounds of bullriding,
the next poker contestants made their way
to the card table in the middle of the are-
na, wearing plain street clothes These play
ers actually bought into the game for SI each
to win a prize of $100 for the last person sit-
ting at the table,
They got comfortable and the cowboys
and clowns manned their stations around the
arena A couple more cowboys on horses en-
tered the ring as well.
The gate shot open once more to re-
veal not a sheep, but a Mexican fighting bull
It ran straight for the card table, and with-
in seconds, tossed it to the ground and jos-
tled all the contestants to their feet. But the
bull went after one player in particular, Dave
Schreiner of Frankfort. Kan
"It was a rush," he said still dusty from
being knocked around the arena "By the
time I saw the bull, he was right behind me,"
Schreiner said though he knows what
cowboy poker entails, he had half-expected
a sheep to enter the arena again instead of a
bull.
The bull butted its head against Schrein-
er a few times while Schreiner was balled up
on the ground, covering his head. The other
players had backed away from the bull, but

narcotics
equipment
from store
By Sarah Burford
KANSAS STATE COLLEGIAN
Riley County police found
drug paraphernalia at Rockstar
and Rogers, 715 N. 12th St,
while serving a search warrant
on Thursday, according to a Ri-
ley County Police Department
report
The warrant was part of an
ongoing investigation into the
sale of drug paraphernalia in
the Manhattan area.
During the search at Rock
star and Rogers, police found
items used to store, contain,
conceal, weigh and ingest illic-
it drugs, according to the police
report.
RCPD Lt Kurt Moldrup
said the police department had
investigated a drug transaction
within the business, which con-
nected the seized parapherna-
lia with the use of drugs. Mol-
drup said the drug parapherna-
lia were being sold in the store
at one point.
No arrests were made and
further investigation is pending
Spring recruitment sponsored by Greek Affairs for first time
By Jenna Scavuwo I
KANSAS STATE COLLEGIAN
This spring, Greek Affairs is pub-
licizing a new approach to recruiting
members into a sorority's sisterhood.
While many might associate sorority
recruitment with a rigid, structured
and stressful week schedule, Sorori-
ty Spring Recruitment allows its par-
ticipants to explore the 11 sorority
houses in a relaxed, personable set-
ting
Though Greek Affairs and the
Panhellenic Council have sponsored
Sorority Spring Recruitment in the
past, this spring the Greek organize
tions have worked to positively pub-
licize its informal version of sorority
recruitment.
Previously, only houses which
had not matched their member quo-
tas participated in spring recruit-
ment.
This year marks the first year
that each sorority house opened its
recruitment to potential new soror
iiy members, though only six chap-
ters are accepting new members
Chi Omega, Kappa Alpha The-
ta, Kappa Delta. Alpha Chi Omega.
Sigma Kappa and Pi Beta Phi are the
only houses aiming to distribute bids
for spring membership.
"Spring Recruitment is a chance
to offer girls who hadn't gone through
formal recruitment a look at and
get a feel for all (he houses in a less
threatening environment," said Erin
Parrott, vice president of the Panhel-
lenic Council "It allows girls to get
a better feet for houses by offering
them more time to look around and
get to know individual members bet
ter in an actual setting, rather than a
structured setting, which is how For-
mal Recruitment is"
Recruitment numbers have not
dropped, and have in fact increased
to the highest number ever this past
fall, said Kimberly Jones, director of
continuous open bidding and reten
lion
However, many chapters have
suffered a problem with members
leaving during the school year, she
said
Spring Recruitment is designed
to both recruit new members in the
spring to replace previously lost ones
or allow potential new members to
begin looking al the various chapters
before Formal Recruitment begins,
Jones said
It helps to have a full house,"
Jones said. "... Spring Recruitment
aims to have each house reach this
goal"
There has been a tremendous in-
crease in the number of girls signed
up to participate in Spring Recruit
ment this year, said Jones. Fifty-four
girls are going through the Spring
Recruitment process
"Spring Recruitment improves
the Greek community as a whole
because it gives the sororities more
publicity, which will allow everyone
to see how great the Greek commu-
nity truly is," Jones said "Also, open

ing up the houses allows for a level
playing field and ties and strengthens
the houses together Spring Recruit-
ment really promotes Greek unity"
To participate in the Spring Re-
cruitment process, prospective mem
bers gave their names to Greek Af-
fairs, which distributed the names to
all the houses, said Parrott.
The potential members were
told which houses were accepting
new spring members into their chap-
ters, but were allowed to take tours
of all 11 during Open House
The chapters that are searching
for and accepting new membership
will continue to invite prospective
members to sorority events after

Study finds weight-loss surgery
helpful in fighting Type-2 diabetes
By Sarah Burf or d
KANSAS STATE COIXEtilAN
Weight -loss surgeries have
proven more effective for cur-
ing Type 2 diabetes than stan-
dard medical treatment, ac-
cording to a recent study that
appeared in an article Wednes-
day in The New York Times.
Sixty patients participated
in the study, and 73 percent of
those who had the surgery had
complete remissions of diabe-
tes Of the patients who were
given counseling on diet and
exercise instead of having sur-
gery, only 13 percent had re-
missions of diabetes, according
to the article
Since Type 2 diabetes usu-
ally is caused by obesity, those
who lost an average of 20.7
percent of their body weight
through surgery were more
likely to be rid of their diabetes.
Those who did not have sur-
gery lost an average of 1-7 per-
cent of their body weight, ac-
cording to the article
The surgery performed in
the study is called adjustable
gastric banding A band is in-
serted through two small slits
and is cinched around the stom
ach so patients will eat less
Dr. Pouad Hachem. an at
tending surgeon at the Geary
Community Hospital in Geary
County, said Type 2 diabetes is
earned when a person's body
cannot generate enough insulin
to accommodate its large size.
Insulin facilitates ingest-
ed sugar getting into the body's
cells. He said when there is not
enough insulin to perform this
digestion, the sugar stays out-
side of the cells and turns into
fat
Hachem said weight -loss
surgeries have been proven
to cure diabetes 90 percent of
the time He said conventional
methods like diet and exercise
work less than 1 percent of the
lime for people who are mor-
bidly obese.
"No studies say one sur-
gery is better than the other,"
Hachem said. "They all achieve
one ultimate goal - weight loss.
If (the diabetes] is not reversed,
at least it's better under con-
trol"
Erin Dawson, assistant di-
rector of fitness at Peters Rec-
reation Center, said people
should try conventional meth-
ods for curing their diabetes be-
fore surgical methods
"(Nutrition and exercise]
are definitely something peo
pie should try first," Dawson
said, "They will have to live a
healthy lifestyle anyway after
surgery. Why put off the inev-
itable?"
She said to prevent or im-
prove diabetes, people should
engage in cardiovascular exer-
cise three to five days a week
She also recommended two to
th ree days of we ight ■ lifting .
"Exercise plays a huge
part, [as do) talking to a dieti-
cian, and eating well." Dawson
said.
Steph Moore, senior in di-
etetics, said her grandfather has
Type 2 diabetes She said he
probably would not be willing
to have weight -loss surgery for
it because of his age. so he diets
and exercises instead
But eating healthy can be
hard for him since he is "set
in his ways" and isn't ready
to change his lifestyle, Moore
said
The people who caught
their diabetes early, within two
years, had more success with
the surgery, according to the ar-
ticle. Moore said she thinks sur-
gery would be better for young-
er people.
"I think surgery would be
a last resort after trying diet and
exercise and consulting a dieti-
cian," Moore said.
She said surgery might be
too dangerous for people who
have a very high body mass in-
dex because the wound would
heal poorly, along with other
factors. She said many places
that perform these surgeries re
quire patients to meet with a di-

By Ells* Podhajsky
KANSAS STATE COLLEGIAN
The city of Manhat-
tan has been involved in a
downtown redevelopment
controversy for the past sev-
eral months.
The latest and perhaps
most disputed issue has been
surrounding the impiemen
tation and the expansion of
a Hy-Vee grocery store in
the north side of the down-
town redevelopment area
An amendment to the
store's development plan
was passed earlier this
month, adding an additional
10,000 square feet onto its
original 68.300 square feet
design, said Karen Mayse,
president for Manhattan's
League of Women Voters.
"With thai vote, the
store basically had the green
light to build," said city com-
missioner )im Sherow, who
voted against the amend-
ment
"The store jusl wasn't
meeting the original lay-
out and design that every-
body had agreed upon." he
said. "I think the other com
missiuners who voted for it
weren't happy with it; they
just didn't see a viable alter-
native."
City Commissioner
Bruce Snead said he voted
for the expansion because
the role of the north district
- where the Hy-Vee will be
located - in the financing of
downtown redevelopment
was an important consider-
ation
He said he felt passing
the amendment was the best
action for moving the South
district reconstruction for-
ward
However, Mayse said
League members thought
the cily should have better
planning when it comes to
the redevelopment.
There are already four
large grocery stores within
a mile of where the Hy-Vee
will be located, and she said
the League thinks the new
store will put at least one of
them out of business.
"You're causing the
problem you were hoping to
solve with redevelopment,"
she said.
Because of the amend-
ment. Mayse said the new
grocery store will not only
be more than twice the size
of the Dillons near Turtle
Creek Boulevard, but il also
will come within four feet of
the city's historic Strausser
house - the oldest standing
house in Manhattan
In addition, she said it
will limit the total amount
of parking for the area's
proposed housing develop-
ments.
"We think it's really im-
portant lo have housing
down there," Mayse said
"We need a mixed develop-
ment in that area, and hav
ing housing will provide
consumers who will frequent
businesses downtown "
Limited parking leads
to limited living space, she
said.
Despite much opposi-
tion, the expansion has been
mostly finalized
The only aspect in ques
tion depends on whether
the state law prohibiting the
sale of wine and spirits in
supermarkets is changed.
If this happens, Hy-Vee
plans to build even bigger,
she said
Mayse also said at this
point, the community does
not have much faith in the
redevelopment plans, in
terms of believing what they
were initially told.
But Snead said he dis-
agreed.
There are residents who
will never be happy with
the redevelopment 's out
come, Snead said, but there
also are those who under
stand that during the plan
ning process, ideas evolve
and are modified
"I think Hy-Vee will be
successful in this communi-
ty,' he said. "The public COB
cern about downtown rede
velopment is an important
one, and one we need to ad
dress with presentation and
the sharing uf information
of where we arc, and where
we're going."

DC
Six people in an al-
ready-corrupt city might
seem far, far away, but
Mayor Adrian Fenty made
an irrational decision in re-
sponse to the murders of
four girls as a means of
covering his own office and
dodging the government in-

and left their decaying bod-
ies in her mother's home
for at least 15 days, a crime
with which she had been
charged.
However, the point is
that within hours of find-

girls, each between 5 and
16 years of age. six Wash

sponse to the quadruple

their dismissal. Fenty said,
was they ignored previous
attempts to remove the girls
from their troubled moth-
er's care and "other people
didn't do their job in the
way they're supposed to"
Here's the catch - the
main tip- off was a school
nurse at the younger girls'
school reported Jacks' sus
pieious actions, but all she
could give to the city social
workers involved was that
they lived in a van
OK, great All city gov

have time to go off van-
hunting in a huge city to
find a mom who might or
might not be a weirdo
Pre Katrina, this
wouldn't have happened
- ever Did it occur when
the Yates children were
found drowned 7 No How
about when Franic New-
ton killed her husband and
two kids? You guessed it
- nope In fact, the Amer-
ican Anthropological As-
sociation reported more
than 200 mothers kill their
own children each year.
Where were city employees
in these cases? Why didn't
they get fired? This only
echoes the response of na

ernment officials where
Louisiana newspapers re-
ported the finngs of doz-
ens of government em
ployees in response to
unfavorable relief ef-
forts What if Gov
Kathleen Sebelius
fired some Manhat-
tan city snow -plow
drivers after the ice
storm last month be-
cause they took too
long to plow Maria-
tt Avenue and two
drivers died in an ac-
cident as a result?
There is no excuse
for Mother Nature or
human nature
This isn't the
first time anyone has
heard of such a hor
rific event It also
doesn't sound like
Fenty cares as much
about the untime-
ly murders of inno-
cent young girls as
he does about the
reputation of his city
agencies.
Fearing a Hurri-
cane Katrina -like backlash
from more important gov-
ernment officials should
not leave any mayor with
grounds for the immediate
firing of six city workers.

Imagine being the so-
cial worker who was told

tion of the printing press in
the 16th century
The latter, starting at the
beginning of the 20th century,
deconstructed this age. Post-
man claimed, with TV's Peek-
s' Boo mentality
According to Postman's
book, reading enables one
with a "tolerance for delayed
response"
The Peek -a- Boo mentality
contradicts this ability because
it pops images before readers,
exposing them to "endless en-
tertainment."
In his book, Postman said
it is not bad that there is enter
tainment on TV, but the prob-
lem is everything, even the
news, is presented as enter-
tainment
If Postman were alive to-
day, I wonder what he would
call today's society Maybe he
would call it the Age of the In-
ternet, which appears to be
the new medium that has unit-
ed the world in an unprece-
dented manner
Thus TV, YouTube com
and Pacebook.com each com-
pete with the book by con-
stantly overwhelming society
with images The stakes are
higher than ever for the book
because people are more likely
to grab the remote than grab a
book
With this in mind, 1 have
a suggestion. Turn off your
iPod, unplug the TV, pu1
your cell phone on silent
and go pick up a book 1 don't
mean you have to go out and
buy Leo Tolstoy's "War and
Peace" or Thucydides' "Histo-
ry of the Peloponnesian War"
Start with something
smaller - maybe a book you
read in high school like "The
Scarlett Letter" by Nathan-
iel Hawthorne, or "The Great
Gatsby" by F. Scott Fitzgerald
Reading has benefits
that cannot be obtained
through TV According
to Postman's book, read
ing refines abstract think-
ing, encourages rationality
and rewards critical think
ing. The eye cannot glaze
over words as quickly as im-
ages It musl re-read and pro
cess what is written
Greek dramatist Aristo-
phenes once said, "By words,
the mind is winged" So give
your mind wings by reading
words written across the ages

Ice storm, wet weather leave area soil
unusually ideal for planting trees, plants
By Kristin Hodges
KANSAS STATE COUBQIAM
Manhattan's ice storm
still can be seen through
the tangle of trees that were
destroyed by strong winds,
but the storm left behind
more than just a mess for
city workers It also left
the soil with more moisture
than it usually sees in the
winter.
Ward Upham, K- State
Research and Extension
horticulturist, said this
year's soil conditions are
ideal for planting trees
"This winter has been a
fairly wet winter," he said
"Trees can get off to a good
start without extra water
ing."
Charles harden.
K State Research and Ex
tension forester, said Kan
sas is typically dry in the
winter, but the melting of
snow and ice helped cre-
ate better conditions for the
state's soil
With the destruction
of many trees after the ice
storm, planting trees is ex
actly what Manhattan res-
idents should be thinking
about Joshua Pease. Kan
sas Forest Service conser-
vation forester, said Irees
provide windbreaks that
benefit all parts of life, in
eluding protection for live-
stock in the winter, habitats
for wildlife, protection for
crops and the prevention of
road-covering snow drifts
Windbreaks also slow
the wind down and reduce
the evaporation of moisture
from the soil
After December's ice
storm, many of the trees
across Kansas were demol-
ished and the amount of
windbreaks were reduced
across the state. This does
not help the already low
number of windbreaks in
Kansas. Pease said
"The windbreaks -
they're really in decline
across Kansas." Pease said
"It's not just a western Kan-
sas thing It pretty much
stretches from one border
to another. It's really some-
thing we need to take seri
ous."
Windbreaks need to
be maintained by renovat-
ing old trees and replacing
those that are destroyed in
storms. Pease said.
"If you think back to
the days of the Dust Bowl
era, we had a sincere lack of
trees." he said "There was a
tremendous amount of soil
loss Those trees helped re-
duce all that
"We just don't want to
get back into that sort of
situation The severe storms
still occur That's why we
need to get those back m
shape - to conserve soil,
reduce erosion and it's bet
ter for the crops"
Though the actual act
of planting trees is not pop-
ular right now. Pease said it
is something people should
be thinking about for the
months ahead.
Upham said trees can
be planted throughout the
year, though spring is the
traditional time, because
plants put out plenty of
roots and can get estab-
lished in the ground quick-
ly.
Harden said the best
time of year to plant trees is
during early spring, starting
in March
"The best thing to do
for trees is to have the soil
well prepared and good
weed control," he said. "A
mistake is to plant the trees
and then not check on them
for months"
Barden said it is impor
tant to control the weeds
for the first year or two of
the tree's growth, especial-
ly during the summertime
when weeds are at their
highest.
Upham said this time
of year people can start
planning the types of trees
to plant and their place-
ment.
The Kansas Forest Ser
vice Web site has a list of
deciduous trees it recom-
mends for windbreaks
It categorizes the spe-
cies of trees into areas of
the state that they should
be grown.
The bur oak. hackber-
ry, honey locust, laccbark
elm and Russian mulberry
are all listed as adaptable
to the eastern, central and
western thirds of the stale.
As the site recom-
mends, planters should

ROTC cadets learn to communicate effectively on the battle field
By Rebecca Ptrez
KANSAS STATE COLLEUIAN
FORT RILEY- Most stu
dents take communication
for granted They have cell
phones, e-mail, Facebook com
and MySpace.com to keep in
touch with friends and fami-
ly K State's Army ROTC stu-
dents teamed communication
on the battle field is not nearly
as easy.
The ROTC students spent
Saturday morning at Fort Ri-
ley's Close Combat Tacti-
cal Training center operating
Bradley fighting vehicles and
Abrams tanks simulators
While learning how to op-
erate the vehicles and fire the
weapons is important, it is the
communication skills that the
cadets team while performing
the mission that is the point of
the exercise
The mission was set at the
National Training Center in
Fort Irwin, Calif Cadets were
around in a basin surround-
ed by mountains and had lo
traverse the terrain through a
narrow gap between mountain
ranges.
The goal was to stay in
a formation that looks like a
piece of pie called a wedge for-
mation When they got to the
narrow pass they were sup-
posed to move closer to each
other, but keep the same for-
mation
The cadets entered their
simulators at about 10 am
and spent the next 30 minutes
working out real-life commu-
nication issues on the radios
Cadet Aaron Scherffius.
senior in construction science
and management and the bat-
tle commander, said the most
frustrating pan was getting ev-
eryone on their proper chan-
nels and talking to each other
It was only an hour from
when Ihe mission finally start-
ed to the end of the mission,
but in that hour their commu-
nication improved
Lt. Col. George Belin.
professor of military science,
told Ihe cadets they went from
giving directions in terms of
left and right to using cardi
nal directions. They also im
proved Iheir ability lo keep
the platoons together by tell
ing vehicles tu drive at spculii
speeds instead of saying faster
or slower
Belin and Lt Col Curl
Slick, assistant professor ol
military science, commended
the cadets on their outstand
ing performance
"Once you got off [from
the starting point], comtuum
cation was really pretty good
between the platoons and the
company commander," Belin
said to all ihe cadets
Belin explained to the H
dels thai Communication is

Men dominate Cyclones for most of game, Women take down
share undefeated top Big 1 2 spot with KU another ranked team
By Wendy H»un
KANSAS STATE COLLEGIAN
I
With 10 minutes 38 seconds left
in the game, the entirety of Bramlagc
Coliseum knew whose house it was.
And they chanted his name - Michael
Beasley.
Freshman forward Beasley" s 33-
point performance was his seventh
30-point game this season, tying the
record held by Bob Boozer (1958 59)
and Norris Coleman (1985 86) for
30-point games in a season
He also grabbed 15 rebounds,
which is not only his highest total in
conference play this, but also cata-
pulted him into second-place for most
double doubles in a season To take
the record from 1961's Larry Comley,
he will need two more to tie and three
to take it out-right
"Everybody who has played us
in the last 10 games has gone out of
their way to make it hard for him,"
coach Prank Martin said. "Earlier in
the year, we didn't understand how
to play when teams made it hard for
him. Now he's getting a better under-
standing of getting double- and triple
teamed by college players who are
bigger and stronger than he is and the
rest of our guys have a better under
standing of what to do"
K Slate (14-4. 4-0 Big 12 Con-
ference) was carried by Beasley to a
dominating 82-57 victory over Iowa
State (12-8, 2-3 Big 12)
Freshman guard Jacob Pullen,
who had 13, freshman forward Bill
Walker, who had 10, and junior for-
ward Darren Kent, who had 1 1, also
scored in double-figures for the Wild-
cats,
Kent's performance served as the
game's surprise. He was perfect from
beyond the arc, sinking three three -
point shots.
"Darren's a young man that what
he brings to our basketball team is
that skill level," Martin said "He gives
us another guy in there who can catch
and pass, and he makes it difficult for
people because he can shoot the bas-
ketball He's got confidence about
what we're all about and what he's all
about and he's playing that way"
K State got off to a sluggish start.
scoring first on a three- point-shot
from Walker, but then stalled until the
offense kick-started at the 12-minute
mark, when Beasley nailed a jumper
to make it 116.
K-State then went on a 11-4 scor-
ing tear that ended with a three- point-
shot from Beasley to take K State to
an 11 -point lead Beasley described
the first stretch of the game as unac-
ceptable
"We came out lackadaisical,"
he said. "We came out like wc were
just going to win, but we picked it up
through the course of the game and
Jonathan Knight | (Oil H.IAN
Freshman forward Mich** I Beasley makes a jump shot over Iowa State's Craig
Brackins Beasley had 13 points in the 82-5? victory
just did what we had to do."
Although K-State only shot 21
percent (rom the field in the first 10
minutes of the half, they were able to
get back up to 40 percent from the
field at the end of the half, including
50 percent from beyond the arc,
Iowa Stale shot poorly through-
out the game The Cyclones shot 36
percent in the first half and 31 per-
cent in the second half and only con-
verted nine three-point-shots in the
duration of the game
They were led in scoring by soph-
omore guard Wesley lohnson. who
had 20 points, and freshman forward
Craig Braekins, who had 10 points
Their leading rebound er was senior
center I in Hubalek. who had eight
boards
"I didn't like our effort," said
Iowa Slate coach Greg Mc Dennett
"I thought at times we were selfish
and for the most part, showed little
passion That can't be what we are
about"
Martin said although it might
have looked like the team looked past
Iowa Stale tu Wednesday's matchup
with Kansas, the team must be com
plctely focused on the next game
"Anytime you compete for a
championship, the next game on
your schedule is the biggest game of
the year." he said. "As long as you ap-
proach it that way, you have a chance
We were pretty good about approach-
ing it that way. This conference is a
monster - it's absurd how difficult it
is to win in this conference,"

KANSAS STATE COLLEGIAN
STILLWATER, Okla. - When K-State needed a lead-
er and someone to step up Sunday against Oklahoma
State, it was senior guard Kimbcrly Dietz who took center
stage for the Wildcats.
After scoring 20 points, all in the second half, Dietz
led No 22 K State (14-5, 6-0 Big 12 Conference) to its
ninth -straight win, edging the No 14 Cowgirls 68-63 al

U is Ihe best start for K-State since the inception of
ihe Big 12, however, the Wildcats started 8 Ihree times
dunng their slint in the Big Eight Conference. They are
lied with Baylor for first place in the Big 12
Oklahoma State (16-3, 4-2 Big 12) contained Dietz
in the first half sending the Wildcats' leading scorer to the
locker room with zero points With 15:20 left in the game
and K State trailing 37-30. Dietz put up her first points
when she hit a three pointer.
Less than a minute later, Dietz hit another three
pointer to cut the Cowgirls lead to 37-36
"1 was just tired of being down and my teammates
were running our offense so well at that time, and it was
just an open look," Dietz said.
What ensued was a 15-2 run by K-State with nine
points, all three pointers, from Dietz and six points from
junior guard Shalee Lehning to give the Wildcats a 45-39
advantage with 1 1 :28 left in the game
"This is obviously a tale of two halves," said K-State

Different outfits fit variety of female body shapes
By Monica Castro
KANSAS MAI t UHlElilAN
Shopping can be difficult when women do
not know how to find clothes that compliment
their body shapes But shopping can be made
easy if women follow guidelines about what
styles work best for their body types.
"The biggest thing is when girls come to
the store and they locus on sizes," said Sara
Meyer, owner of Zolcis Attire "Size is impor
tant, but ihey should not have that mindset
and find clothing that fits well "
Meyer said there are many styles women
can wear to make them appear thinner, which
includes wearing dark-denim jeans and belts
around the waist Belts around the waist ap
pear to make the waist line smaller, she said,
Meyer said she thinks dark denim is the
best type of materiel because it works for ev
erybodys shape and is overall slimming and
stylish.
Petite Women who are petite and want to
elongate themselves should consider wearing
heels. Meyer said Petite women also should
wear more form-fitting clothing because their
body frames are smaller and clothing won't be
too baggy or loose fitting. Meyer said many pe-
tite women can wear longer tops that hit the
waist area. She also said cropped jackets are a
good way to elongate the body since the cut is
shorter Pointy heels help give a smaller wom-
en some height and also can make her look
thinner.
Tall: Taller women can pull off skinny jeans,
Meyer said. Wearing dresses on top of jeans
works with women who are taller because it
does not create a baggy look for them She
said if taller women do wear dresses the length
should be to the knee or below. Women who
arc taller should try to wear rounded-toe heels
because it helps them look a bit shorter, she
said
Curvy Women with curves, Meyer said, should
try to wear V-neck tops because it shows some
skin and still looks nice Wrap tops with a
camisole on the bottom are good because they
create a more slimming look on the torso or
waist area. Meyer said boot-cut jeans are ideal
fur women who are curvy because it creates a
slimming look Also, high-rise jeans work well
for more curvy women because they help keep
the sides of your body from sticking out, Mey-
er said.
Hourglass body Wide leg jeans are nice be
cause Ihey take away from the hip area and
make it more proportional, Meyer said. Since
people with hourglass figures are smaller on
bottom, babydoll tops are nice because they
hide the stomach area and emphasize the
smaller top of your body, she said Meyer also
said empire waist shirts are nice for hourglass
figures. Meyer said a strapless dress is nice be-
cause it also shows off the small top of the
body and does not enhance the bottom half,
Meyer said.
Meyer said belts are in slyle right now,
but she also said she warns women that they
should be careful how they wear them Bell
placement should depend on a woman's torso
or bust size
Meyer said women should wear a belt on
their waist if they have a long torso because it
makes the rest of the body look proportional.
If women have a larger bust, belts under the
bust line do not work because it will make the
area look larger, she said
Bonnie Bailey, sophomore in apparel and
textiles, said leggings are popular but might
look better on taller women because most leg-
gings hit mid -calf.
"A lot of people with different body styles
can pull leggings off. you just have to know
when to wear them and what to wear them
with," Bailey said.
Lindsay Berry, Krystallos Inc. employee,
said tunics, empire waist lops and shirt dresses
are among the popular items at Krystallos.
Berry, sophomore in prc-professional ele-
mentary education, said there are many items
that create more slimming looks, but shoppers
have to try them on to see if they look right
and feel comfortable on their body types.
"It is important for women to find clothes
that complement their body shape because,
not only will the clothes fit, but women will
feel better aboul themselves if the clothing fits
right," she said

Though many 20 year olds

This new year is about
erasing stigma behind being

To live a college life with-

about pleasing yourself rath-

if you're not going to do it, no-

When people think of "The

an arrogant Prince Charming

The Missoula Children's

along with the MACademy

can dance at the Prince's par
ty and win his heart. But when
the Prince picks her to be his
bride and suggests they cele
brate with a fish fry, Celia re-
turns to her family's welcoming

The children's roles ranged
from 5 -year-old seahors

working with young casts, and
has had experience acting with
the Christian Youth Theater in
Kansas City, Kan
"Musicals with little kids
are just so fun," she said. "Little
kids are really free and you can
just goof around and not worry
about expectations."
Uwe Thumm, an audience
member and father of two cast
members, said the show was
well done, well choreographed,
and had nice costumes
"jThe directors] made sure
the kids were exposed," he said
"It wasn't dominated by adult

directing kids who have never

from the Feb 21, 1980, Col-
legian. Read on and find out
more about the first Telefund.
KSU COLLEGES LOOK FOR
FUNDS WITH NATIONWIDE
TELEFUND DRIVE
Bv Janice Snyder
Thirty thousand alumni
will be contacted in March and
April as the Colleges of Agri-
culturc, Engineering and Arts
and Sciences conduct "Tele
fund," a telephone campaign to
raise money for the individual
colleges
A goal of $25,000 per col-
lege has been set for the Tele-
fund campaigns Between 300
and 500 K State students will
contact alumni throughout lhc
United States
The College of Agricul-
ture Telefund will begin March
30 and end April 14, while the
College of Engineering Tele-
fund will be April 15-28. The
College of Arts and Sciem
es Telefund will be conducted
each weekend in April
In recent years universities
have needed more private sup-
port because stale appropria
lions and student fees are not
enough for the extras of educa-
tion, said Mark Moore, direc
tor of giving for the KSU Foun-
dation
Telefund will try to make
up (or the discrepancy and
help provide scholarships, lab-
oratory and classroom equip-
ment and more income for stu-
dent activities. Moore said He
also said the main emphasis
will be on scholarships
This year the event is going
national. In the past the fund
raising has been limited to Ri-
ley County, said David Mugler,
associate dean for the College
of Agriculture and chairman of
the agriculture Telefund.
Moore said a successful
mailing campaign was utilized
last fall.
"In November, we put to-
gether a mailing campaign."
Moore said "We got togeth-
er with the deans in each col-
lege and pui together individu-
al mailings to send to alumni to
show what was taking place in
each college and ask for contri-
butions"
Moore said Telefund is
different from past universi-
ty fund-raising events, which
were directed toward all alum-
ni This fundraiser is aimed at
alumni from specific colleges
who have never contributed.
"The best way to gel in
touch with them is to call and
talk with them," he said "In
this sense both the caller and
the alumni will have something
in common - their college."
Telefund will last for three
hours each night using the uni-
versity's wait line Students,
faculty and area alumni vol-
unteers will man 15 phones
in the K-Statc Student Union.
Each caller will contact 25 to
30 alumni a night.
The callers will be given

a sample conversation, infor-
mation pertaining to their col-
lege and pledge cards. Moore
said students employed by the
work study program are now
in the process of going through
phone books from other cities
in the United States to look up
alumni.
However, they have found
most of the alumni arc still in
Kansas, Moore said
Presently, chairs of the
colleges are coordinating the
teams and looking for student
captains. Moore said. The stu
dent captains will be responsi
ble partly to recruit volunteers
and make sure they show up
He added the volunteer
callers have a chance to win
prizes. Expense-pair weekends
to Worlds ol Fun, Tiffany's At-
tic and Crown Center in Kan
sas City, Mo,, will be given to
those callers with the molt
pledges. Dinner passes to local
restaurants also will be award-

Clowns moved in to dis

Diane Cumelison. also
from Frankfort, said her hus
band, |int, was one of the con-
testants at the table She said
she had never seen cowboy
poker before and didn't know
what to expect
"I was scared to death be-
cause I thought they were go-
ing to bring out a sheep again,"
she said "I didn't know they
were going to bring out a real
bull I don't think the guys had
any idea either."
Lensi LaForge of Inde
pendence, Kan, said cow-
boy poker was new to her as
well She said she felt terrible
for Schreiner as he was being
attacked, and wouldn't have
been walching if a significant
other were at that table
"I'd be mad at him for do-
ing it," she said "I think it's
crazy, and I don't understand
why they do it"
served in Des Moines
Conti nu*d from Page 1
She also served as man-
agement assistant to the city
of Des Moines from July
2005-January 2006, and she
has been a presenter and par-
ticipant at the International
Citty/County Management As-
sociation Annual Conferences
and at the Association of Gov-
ernment Accountants.
Hilgers said at the time of
recruitment, the city ma nag
er's office decided to hire an-
other assistant city manager
instead of a deputy city man-
ager because the assistant city
manager position allows for
possible promotion.
"We've been short ol that
assistance in the last several
months, and she'll definitely
fill a void in that area," Hilgers
said.
Though Des Moines has
about four times the popu-
lation of Manhattan, Palm-
er said the same management
principles apply within both
cities.
"Manhattan is a little
smaller community and a dif-
ferent community in a lot of
respects, but they are similar,"
Palmer said "I think the issues
of providing municipal servic
es are the same."

These events, unlike
Forma! Recruitment, fol-
low no required timeline

nights, game nights or oth-
er events with the sororities
allow prospective members
to see what the chapters
are really like, she said
The houses then de-
cide as a whole if they want
to give individual prospec-
tive members bids, and the
potential members can re-
ceive bids at any time. The
girls can go to multiple
chapters' events, but only
accept one bid, Parrott
said.
Some prospective
members enjoyed and ben-
efited from the relaxed
Open House atmosphere
"I'm a transfer student

Krista Bennett, sophomore

"Spring Recruitment is al-

being offensively."
Oklahoma State stayed
in reasonable distance of the
Wildcats, coming within two
points just after K- State's
run Holding a slim 64-60
lead with 57 seconds left, K
State was able to stop the
Cowgirls from scoring, de
fending on four shot oppor-
tunities in 36 seconds and,
with two free throws from
Dtetz, went ahead 66-60
Oklahoma State soph-
omore guard Andrea Riley
kept the Cowgirls alive by
draining a three point basket
with 11 seconds remaining.
Riley led the Cowgirls with
34 points and was the only
player for Oklahoma State
in double- figures.
"Riley is obviously just
an unbelievable talent and
her ability to score one-on-
one, her quickness and her
ability to get to the rim is ex
traordinary," Patterson said.
Without DieLi's produc-
tion in the first hall, K-State
got help from junior forward
Marlies Gipson, who put up
10 points and six rebounds
in the first half Gipson fin-
ished with a double- dou-
ble, putting up 21 points and
pulling down 16 rebounds.
"When Gipson ends the
game with 16 rebounds
there are just no words to de-
scribe the effort that she gave
in an attempt to win this bas-
ketball game, and I think you
say the same thing about Di
etz in the second half, 1 ' Pat-
terson said.
Despite Gipson 's strong
performance, K-S(ate was
out-rebounded 52-30 Okla
homa State coach Kurt Bud
ke said there were too many
wasted opportunities by the
Cowgirls, especially after get-
ting offensive rebounds.
"We almost had more
offensive rebounds than they
had total rebounds, so we
didn't take advantage of our
second chances," he said.
Lehning had 13 points
and sophomore forward
Ashley Sweat scored 12.

Significant earnings
Students donate plasma to make cash, help others
By Deborah Muhwnl
KANSAS STATE COLUC.IAN
Durand Reeves said the first
time he donated plasma he was
nervous because of the fear of
pain.
"I'm not good with needles,"
Reeves, sophomore in pre jour-
nalism said, "But 1 got
over
because of the money"
Reeves is not the only student
who has had the false preconcep-
tion that donating plasma is pain-
ful, said Kimberly Agwu, junior in
pre nursing and phlcbolomisl at
ZLB Plasma Services in Manhat-
tan
"It doesn't hurt at all." Agwu
said "The only thing is whether or
not you are afraid of needles"
And for those still intimidat-
ed by needles, the cash incentive
might be of some comfort, like
Reeves said it was for him.
For donating plasma, students
can earn $40 their first time and
the same amount for their sec-
ond donation - if they come back
within 7 days, Agwu said.
"Last semester. I went ev-
ery couple days," Reeves said.
The first time takes a long
time, but now it's pretty
* smooth I get out of there
L in about an hour."
A Agwu said she
sees several students ev-
ery day coming in to do-
nate plasma to make
money. She also said
most students are not
aware of what plasma
is and who it can ben-
efit
According to the
BioLife Web site, a li-
censed donating een
ter that leads in the
collections of high-
quality plasma, do-
nated plasma is
used in the treat-
ment of serious
disorders like

Agwu said donating plasma
can cause only minimal side ef-
fects
"tf you donate a lot. scar lis
sue can occur, but this isn't nec-
essarily bad," she said, "It's just a
part of the healing process."
According to the BioLife Web
site, to donate, a person must be
at least 18 years old and weigh at
least 110 pounds. There also are
individuals who might not be eli-
gible because of factors like preg-
nancy, a recent tattoo or blood
transfusion.
V Cynthia Tamboue, junior

said there are tests

before they can
donate.
The reason why the first time
takes so iong is because we give
a complete physical to make sure
the person is able to donate," Tam-
boue said.
Tamboue said people interest-
ed in giving plasma should come
prepared, and the process will go
quicker
"If you come in hydrated and
eat healthy prior to coming in,
it's only going to be long the first
time," she said "Every time after
should only lake about 45 minutes
if you come in prepared"
Tamboue said people need to
make sure they drink plenty of wa-
ter at least 12 to 24 hours before
coming in. She also said it is nec-
essary to eat a healthy meal that is
low in fat.
"If you eat a meal too high in
fat, we will be able to see it in your
plasma, and you won't be able to
donate," she said.
Tamboue said students who
donate plasma typically do so for
financial benefit

Union Holocaust display
educates visitors
By Eric Davis
KANSAS STATE COIUG1AN
K State students got an
up-close and personal look at
more than 1,000 Jewish names
of those saved during the Ho-
locaust by German industrial
ist Oskar Schindler
Visitors at the William
T Kemper Art Gallery in the
K- St ate Student Union Tues-
day night enjoyed a short re-
ception while viewing the
traveling exhibit dedicated to
the life of Schindler
Consisting of five ac-
cordion-style display boards,
the exhibit gave a timeline of
Schindler's life
The exhibit, brought in
by the Union Program Coun-
cil and organized by the Unit-
ed Slates Holocaust Memori-
al, has been in the art gallery
since Dec 2 1 and will be re-
moved Friday.
The boards explained
Schindler's involvement with
the German Schulzstaffel, his
rise to power as a business-
man and his transformation
to Jewish hero.
Schindler, who became
wealthy exploiting Jewish
slave labor, had a change of
heart after walking through a
Jewish work camp. After see-
ing what the Nazis were doing
to the Jews, Schindler set up
a barracks at one of his facto-
ries for his |ewish workers to
live in.
The displays had pictures,
a short biography and a copy
of the lists of |ewish names
Schindler had saved
After the hour-long re
ception at the gallery, the
movie "Schindler's List" was
shown in the Flint Hills room
in the Union.
Caitlin Bums, sophomore
in graphic design and Spanish
and co-chairwoman for the
U PC arts committee, said they
brought the exhibit to campus
to better educate the student
body about the Holocaust
"We decided it seemed
like a really great exhibit for
the students on campus to see
Tracy Tucker

English, and

the life and
work of Oskar

exhibit will be
on display irs
the William T.
Kemper Art
Gallery until
Feb. 2.
and get to know a little more
about it," Bums said.
Even students who were
already well versed in the his-
tory of the Holocaust found
the display interesting and ed
ucationa).
Tracy TUcker, senior
in English, said she took a
course about Holocaust liter
attire last semester and what
she saw at the exhibit interest-
ed her
"It was really cool to see,"

Tucker said it is difficult

Woman
allegedly
raped
By Allison Vc-rts
Kansas STm roll h;ian
An 18-year old wom-
an reported being forcibly
raped during the early morn
ing hours Sunday in northwest
Manhattan, according to a Ki

RCPD Capt Hank Nelson
said the suspect in the alleged
rape was unknown to the vic-
tim Nelson said the rape does
not appear to be related to
other rapes in the area.
No arrests have been

Cloned
meat
approved
for sale
By Scott Giratd
KANSAS STATE CnilM.lAN
The Federal Food and
Drug Administration ap-
proved the sale ol meat from
cloned animals on Jan 18,
but grocery stores probably
will not be selling it for up to
a few years.
The meat - whenever it
hits store shelves - will nc
be labeled as being cloned.
The FDA stated cloned
meat is no different than mea
from traditionally raised anil
mals, but the Department of
Agriculture urged vendors to
wait to sell the meal for sev-
eral reasons, including con
sumer fear of the product.
One reason meat from
cloned animals is not yet a
viable market option is that
several large food compa-
nies like Tyson Foods Inc
and Smithficld Foods Inc
have said they will not carry
cloned meat because custom
ers are still hesitant with the
cloning process, said Sean
Fox, professor of agricultural
economics
Fox also said the process
is not marketable at its cur-
rent cost
"Cloning is still a very ex
pensive process," he said "If
it is used, it will be for highly
specialized purposes"
Randall Prather, profes
sor of animal sciences at the
University of Missouri -Co-
lumbia, said cloning is still in
efficient, and some abnormal
clones are still processed, but
they are identified early and
are not be used for reproduc-
tion or for any products like
meat or milk
Prather also said meal
from initial clones would
not enter the market be-
cause slaughtering the origi-
nal clones for meat would de
feat the whole process
"There arc very few ani-
mals that will enter the food
chain immediately,' Prather
said. "It will be the offspring
of clones that will have a
larger impact on the market "
Another impediment is
the high cost of the cloning
process, Prather said
"Because it lakes a lot of
lime, it's very inefficient, and
J'ou have to set up a large
ah,' he said. "It's not some-
thing you can do at the kitch-
en table"
Prather said people
should not have hesitations
when it iiuiiM lo cloned meat
because the process is no dif-
ferent than treating a cow so
it will produce better milk,
which is common in stores
everywhere
"That's the whole point,"
Prather said "If you can't
tell, what difference does it
make?"

Students are asked to donate in blood drive

KANSAS STATE COLLEGIAN
K-State students are given
the opportunity to save at least
three lives each January
In celebration of the thou
sands of lives rescued each year
by blood-donor volunteers, the
American Red Cross is sponsor-
ing National Volunteer Blood
Donor Month during Febru-
ary by ret ogni ling donors while
also educating the public on the
need for blood.
The organization is en-
couraging K- State students to
realize the importance of do-
nating and attend the four cam-
pus blood drives this month be-
cause blood supplies often are
at their lowest levels in January
Students should donate
blood Ihis month because it is
one of the easiest ways to give
back (o the community," said
Nuriiui Dixon, communications
manager of the American Red
Cross
Students who donate
should get a mini-health exam,
check (heir blood pressure and
pulse and make sure they are
feeling healthy the day of the
donation, Dixon said

of blood helps saves the lives
of three hospital patients, said
Kristi Ingalls, donor recruitment
representative for the American
Red Cross
Each year, the Ameri
can Red Cross makes a goal
to collect a total of 1.880 pints
of blood from all four campus
drives, and it is exceedingly rare
lo not make this goal, Ingalls
said.
"If just 1 .880 pints of blood
are donated - and we usually
end up with more - 5,640 hos-
pital patients are saved," Ingalls
said. "It is such a huge gift that
these donors volunteer their
time to help people they don't
even know"
The American Red Cross
honors these volunteers through
sharing the grateful recovery
stories of the blood recipients
with the donors
The American Red Cross
also is working to educate the
public on the vitality of giving
blood this month, hoping pub
In. iz m g its cause will encourage
others to donate.
Its local representatives
have been speaking to various
groups and organizations at
K Stale on the importance of
giving blood, Dixon said. Amer-
ican Red Cross' Web site. wum>.
bloodgiiviltfe.org, also aims to
educate future donors on the vi-
tality of donating by providing
information, statistics and sur-
vivor stories, she said
Despite its immense cause,
many do nol already give blood
because there are negative myths
associated with blood donation,
Dixon said Many are also unin-
formed about the cause and do
not grasp the importance of giv-
ing blood, she said
"A lot of people think it's
going to hurt or be invasive."
Dixon said. "Donating blood is
a very simple process - the ac-
tual donation is only 10 min-
utes long It's very easy, and I
wish more people would give it
a chance"
The process of donating
blood is set up into three simple
steps, Dixon said.
The donor signs up and
shows up with a picture 111. goes
through a health -history ques-
tionnaire and donates blood
for 10 minutes. The volunteer is
given water and snacks to begin
the replenishing process.
In order to donate, the vol
unteer must fit three general
guidelines. Dixon said The do
nor should weigh 1 10 pounds or
more, be in general good health
and be at least 17 years old In
Kansas, however, a volunteer
is allowed to donate at age 16
with parental consent
Some K-State students who
have donated in the past are
passionate about the impor-
tance of the cause they have
contributed to
"Donating really helps
out the community," said Matt
Vernon, sophomore in histo-
ry. "Others should give blood
because there are a lot of peo-
ple out there that have differ-
ent blood types, and you nev
er know when an emergency
will occur 1 was only there for
30 minutes, and 1 saved lives in
those 30 minutes 1 was there."

Celebrate the past
Historical events should not be disregarded, forgotten
JOE
VOSSEN
In classrooms and
homes, on campuses and
newsstands, the story of
our past
is disap-
pearing
At a time
when cit-
izens
have ac-
cess to
more in-
forma-
tion than
any time
in histo-
ry, people
are ex-
hibiting less of a grasp on
just that: our history
The celebration ol our
American past seems to be
dying as numbers roll in
depicting our society's his-
torical illiteracy One 2006
study by the Inter-College
Studies Institute adminis-
tered a 60- question gen-
eral U.S. history exam to
14,000 college freshmen
They averaged an F
What is eroding our
national memory? The
problem lies in the way
history is taught. Many
courses are exercises in
memorization of dates,
names and places Instrut
tors do not sufficiently en-
courage the closer study
of the colorful characters
and incredible events that
make our past a rich sub-
ject
As historian David
McCullough, author of
the Pulitzer Prize-winning
presidential biographies
"Truman" and "John Ad-
ams." said, if it's made a
matter of dates and mem-
orization of obscure pro-
visos and ancient treaties,
if it's made boring, if it's
made dull, how can you
blame anyone for turning
away from it'"
So what approach
should our educators
use? Teachers should
make history come alive
through storytelling They
should bring history to
life by painting a picture
of events and people on
a more emotional level -
not fust as cold, static facts
in a textbook
No tale is as fascinat-
ing as the American pag-
eant, said Charles Sanders,
associate professor of his-
tory.
i approach American
history as a story." Sand
ers said "It's a great sto-
ry, full of drama, humor,
sadness, joy. excitement -
the whole range of human
emotions" In his class-
room, Sanders said
he approaches
the sub
ject by
urging
students to
"capture
not only
the facts of
history,
but the .
feel as
well"
Too
many of us view
history as we do
chemistry or math :
the facts are fixed, and
the results only
come out one way
But no event in our
history was preor-
dained The best history
teachers are the ones who
emphasize this They raise
interest in the subject,
and their students critical-
ly evaluate and retain in-
formation They make stu-
dents ask, "Why did this
happen? How were they
feeling'*"
Consider if the Rev
olulionary VVar had been
lost. Imagine that Rosa
Parks had not defiant
ly stayed seated on that
Montgomery, Ala , bus in
1955
Our past was shaped
by people who are little
different than we are, but
who were placed in a po-
sition that enabled them
to change the trajectory of
America. When students
realize that our most fa-
mous (and infamous) fig-
ures were ordinary people
with real fears and hopes,
they become more inter-
ested; and raising interest
is the answer to reviving
the celebration of our his-
tory.
History can be more
fascinating than any
movie, TV show or vid-
eo game. We must ad-
mit, however, it is in direct
competition with those
media for our attention.
Luckily, Sanders said,
history is not only enter-
taining but thought-pro-
voking when it is. "that
sort which historian Bruce
Catton has described as
'history with the blood in
it.'"
We cannot allow our
history - the glaring fail-
ures or incredible success-
es - to be pushed aside.
How can we deny our-
selves this lens?
It can bring our pres-
ent and future into per-
spective. An apprecia-
tion of history builds bet-
ter citizens and gives us a
fresh outlook on the prob-
lems of the present, and
the whole history of this
continent and its people
should be learned because
it is fun
It is an exploration
into centuries of struggle
and debate thai define our
shared experience as di
verse citizens of the Unit-
ed States.
It is a story that might
make us embarrassed or
proud;, worried or hope-
ful, but it is our story. We
should never forget it

Media spotlight should focus on relevant issues
TYLM
SMITH
Information is important Wars
have been fought over the free flow
of information, to stop destructive
information and
because of unnec-
essary information
The rea-
son students go
to school is to ac-
quire information
about something
that someone will
later pay them to
use. The articles
in this newspaper
are filled with it -
some readers might
know, and some might not
With this endless and ever-
changing flow of data, it is almost
impossible to be well-informed on
multiple issues. This fact, coupled
with the dazzling display of me
dia coverage and commentary every
time a presidential candidate does
something - does anything - is mak
ing it impossible.
Every news network, late show
and piece of satire is pushing out
opinions like they're getting com-
mission Everyone is dissecting the
smallest aspects of everyone else's
campaign If a candidate sneezes
now. the media compares it to Pom-
peii, tf another says "bless you." then
they've just declared open war
The 2008 electoral coverage
needs to slow down. With TV and
the Internet so saturated with it, it's
almost impossible to get away from
Without a doubt, people should
be informed on the issues and values
of candidates - that is not the point
The point is, the issues should be
discussed, not what candidates are
buying at the grocery store
For example, 1 know Sylvester
Stallone is supporting presidential
candidate Sen John McCain in the
2008 election.
I found this little gem through
the idiot factory known as FoxNews
com Why would 1 ever care who
Rocky wants for president ? How is
this remotely relevant? It's not like
he's Bruce Springsteen or anything.
How can we focus on the impor
tant things with all of this going on?
The mudslinging on TV has reached
a level never seen before, and what's
worse, it's not even between
the candidates It is from
Chris Matthews and Bill
O'Reilly, [on Stewart
and Steven Colbert and
a thousand people in
the middle There is so
much backseat driving
going on, who knows
where we'll end up.
In the past - even 20
years ago - this couldn't
have happened A news
paper can't yell at you But
in this new age where al-
most any information is ac-
cessible at lightning speed,
how much is too much?
Where should we draw the line
on this barrage of social commen
tary? With the constant growth of
technology and communication, it
can only get more intense But for
now at least, we need to put a damp
er on all the unnecessary informa-
tion.

TO THE POINT
Donating blood, plasma great ways to give, receive
Donating blood
through the American
Red Cross can save lives
But donat-
ing plasma
can save lives
too - with the
incentive of
monetary pay-
ment.
Though
some students
donate blood to give
back to their communi-
ties, students who donate
plasma feel the same
way about their dona-
tions

nor Month, some might
donate for more spe-
cific reasons, for exam-
ple, a shortage of
blood in their eth-
nic community.
Or simply giving
the gift of life to a
victim who expe-
riences extreme
blood loss because
of an accident
Some also might
choose to donate blood
because it is a much
quicker process than do-
nating plasma Donating
plasma can take up to
four hours the first time
and around an hour on
the following visits, while
donating blood can take
less than 10 minutes.
However, with the
prices of tuition and gas
continuing to rise, col-
lege students are turning
to plasma banks when
looking for quick cash.
Agencies like the
American Red Cross are
facing competition from
for-profit blood plasma
collection centers, which
pay donors an average of
$9 to $20 per donation.
For-profit centers be-
gan targeting college stu-
dents in the late 1970s,
and it is a strategy that
research suggests still
works today
An Ohio Universi-
ty study of 411 college
students ages 18 to 22
found 10 percent of stu-
dents have sold their
blood plasma to a for-
profit collection agen-
cy at least once. In that
group, three out of five
are former Red Cross do-
nors who stopped do-
nating blood when they
started selling their plas-
ma.
The American Red
Cross tried different
ways of attracting college
students like raffling off
Apple iPod Nanos and
$1,000 scholarships to
students who donate.
They are even adver-
tising on popular net-
working sites like XtyS-
pace.com and Facebook.
com. Many states, in-
cluding Kansas, have
dropped their donor age
to 16.
So what is a poor col-
lege student to do? Do-
nate blood when you
can There is usually a
blood drive only once
a semester, and in the
meantime, you could get
paid for donating plasma
to a good cause.

Hygiene hints
HlurtriltonibyChrlHlnjForsbwg | (.OLLI&IAN
Healthy personal habits more than daily routine
ByRyntWItt
KANSAS STATE COLLEGIAN
Hygiene probably is not something that
crosses college students' minds every day,
but it is something they probably deal with
by showering and brushing their teeth daily.
Here are some lips that might help improve
basic hygiene and make life more pleasurable
for everyone.
TEETH
Plaque is the bacteria thai causes cavities.
According to healthyteethorg, it is the only
bacteria in the mouth that causes cavities
The site also points out a diel heavy in
sugar is harmful, because plaque uses sugar as
a form of energy So, the more sugar a person
eals, the more plaque they will have on their
teeth
Solutions to this plaque problem are reg
ular trips to the dentist and brushing and
flossing teeth twice daily, for at least two and
half to three minutes, according to the site.
Also, the Web site said people need to keep
a healthy diet because it will help in avoiding
sugary foods
Something students might not know
about alcoholic beverages is what (hey can do
to their teeth.
"Drinking alcohol will have a similar ef-
fect on your teeth as drinking a soda," said
Theresa Doyle, health educator at Lafene
Health Center "Both [ drinks | have sugar that
could build up and cause cavities "
This includes beer, not just cocktail
drinks or wine, though those drinks can be
worse because they add acidity to the prob-
lem, according to lifetips.com
The site provides lips on how to help a
person who isn't focused on keeping their
pearly whites clean Leave the toothbrush on
the pillow as a friendly reminder that il is tune
for a teeth brushing. Chew sugarless gum or
swish water between drinks, because it will
help increase saliva flow, rinse away sugars

FACE/SKIN
Keeping skin healthy and clean is one
way for a person to maintain high a Mtf-N
teem, positive mental altitude and strong self-
confidence according Uj skin care-tips from
dermatologist.com.
The Web site offers many lips to keep fac-
es from getting too oily and full of acne Peo
pie should have a balanced diet. Slav hydral
ed by drinking eight to 10 glasses of water or
juice a day, exercise, get at least seven to eight
hours of sleep, manage stress, and avoid a leu
hoi and drugs
But, according to Doyle, there is pari
of our skin thai students forget about their
hands.
"One important aspect of hygiene thai
may get neglected is hand-washing," she said.
"Hand-washing is essential for preventing the
spread of germs and bacteria Another way to
help keep germs al bay is lo cough in your
sleeve.
Many people sneeze or cough in their
hands, and proceed lo open doors, use shared
computers, and touch a variety of surfac-
es without washing their hands first, which
spreads germs"
SHOWERING/HAIR
I nr people in ilk I I tiled Slates, ShOWCitug
sounds basic, and most people do il daily, but
Doyle said the number of times a person show
ers per week is actually a cultural thing. Some
cultures shower every day and others shower
once per week.
She also said college students usual-
ly shower every day out of habii. and because
they don't want people to think they smell.
When hair doesn't gel washed, it collects
oil und dirt According to Lynne Chapman, ed-
itor of hair al BeUaOnShie.com, people should
wash their hair only as often as necessary.
11 ii person's hair looks good on the sec-
ond day and doesn't feel dirty, there is no rea-
son to wash it." she said
She also said younger people usually don't
lake can of their hair as well as older people.
"Younger bodies naturally produce stron-
ger hair/' she <,aid " Younger people tend to use
un ire hair color and do more work with appli-
ances such as a flat iron because they haven't
WW any ill effects - yet
"Older people have often learned from
experience what causes damage lo their hair
flic hair naturally starts to lose elasticity and
strength as we age, so older people are doing
mure to take care of whal they have"
MUSIC REVIEW
"Juno" soundtrack proves to be just as entertaining as film
"Juno Soundtrack"
•••••
Review by A lev Pea*
The "|uno" sound
track is about as charming as
the movie. It's mix-tape feel
croons of young love, friend-
ships and general teen angst.
Most people who pay at-
tention to mainstream en-
tertainment know "Juno"
is about a 16-year-old girl
named Juno (aka Junebug),
who unexpectedly gets preg-
nant with her high-school best
friend. Surprisingly, neither
the movie nor soundtrack are
depressing, despite the sober-
ing subject.
In many scenes, the mu-
sic couldn't fit the charac-
ters and moods better For ex
ample, during the descrip

lion of Juno's boyfriend, who
is an accomplished track run-
ner, the song "A Well Respect-
ed Man" by The Kinks plays
Or when the catchy, loe tap
ping "All 1 Want Is You" by
Barry Louis Polisar accompa
nies the film, surely audience
members share a collective
sigh uf "aw" With lyrics like
(he following: "If I was a flow

er grossing wild and free /All
I'd want is you to be my sweet
honey bee/And if I was a tree
growing tall and green /All I'd
want is you to shade me and
be my leaves," how could they
resist?
Ellen Page, the actress
who portrayed Juno, appar-
ently helped out wiih the
soundtrack. In a media inter-
view, director |ason Re it man
expressed how much input
and inspiration Page had with
the movie and music
"At OIM point, I asked KI
len Page before we started
shooting, 'what do you think
Juno listens to? And she said
The Moldy Peaches' She
went on my computer, played
the songs, and I fell in love
with il." Kcitman said in the
interview. "I got in touch wiih
Kimya Dawson of The Moldy
Peaches, and she started semi
ing me her work, which was
beautiful, and that became a
loi of the soundtrack"
Dawson, singer/song
writer of The Moldy Peach
es, brings an appropriate ele-
ment to the compilation. She
has a light, juvenile-sounding
voice. Her songs "Loose Lips."
"Tire Swing," "Sleep" and "So
Nice So Smart" sound like
they're coming directly from
the mind of a teenager.
"You're so nice, and
you re mi smart /You're such a
good friend I hafta break your
heart Tell you lhat I love
you /then I'll tear your world
apart," Dawson sings in "So
Nice So Smart"
Alongside Ihe sweet love
songs and humorous lyrics re
luting to young life, the sound-
track HO pravMai ample old-
er music that allows different
generations to rclale These
bands include The Velvet Un-
derground. Buddy Holly and
Sonic Youth.
As if the movie wasn't ap-
pealing enough, the sound-
track is catchy and impelling
and much better than any-
thing else released un CD so

MySpace, Facebook users must use caution
when dealing with potential online predators
By fcrk Da vis
KANSAS STXTVCOUIGMM
For many, MySpace.com is
an online forum used to meet
people arid keep in touch with
old friends There are. howev-
er, those who use the site for a
much different purpose
Because of the easy acces-
sibility of users, some exploit
the Web site to prey on chil-
dren and young adults, taking
advantage of the easy access to
many potential victims
Ua'rs are allowed to set
up profiles under almost any
name, and these can be set up
to give the allusion the user is
actually someone else. Often,
these are the profiles used to
play pranks and stalk underage
users.
To combat the overwhelm-
ing amount of misuse in its site,
MySpace has agreed lo insti-
tute more than 60 changes in
the site to make it safer for all
users.
MySpace worked with at-
torney generals from 49 states
and also the District of Colum-
bia to make the changes
Kansas Attorney Gener-
al Paul Morrison was among
those who supported the agree-
ment
"| Morrison) felt the large
amount of anonymity on the
site combined with few restric-
tions were a recipe for disaster,"
said Ashley Anstaett. spokes-
woman for Morrison.
Anstaett said the agree-
ment reached is not a law and
is nut binding at all
"If | MySpace employees]
don't follow what they said
they would follow, slates could
seek legal resolution," said Ans-
taett
Among the changes agreed
upon include the creation of a
new high school only site that
will be much more restrictive
about the users it allows in. An-
staett said
Many of the new measures
are aimed at making signing up
harder if a user is underage as
well as making sure the content
on the pages of all its users is
appropriate for all ages
Also, parents will be able
to submit the e-mail address of
their children lo a block list, so
the children cannot sign up for
an account on the site, accord-
ing to a press release from the
Kansas Attorney General's of-
fice
Many of the piedators
get in contact with the under
age children by making com-
ments on the in -profile mes-
sage boards as well as sending
messages, which are more pri-
vate
Another problem with the
site is the posting of indecent
material by users This abuse is
more widespread and therefore
affects all users, not fust under-
age users
Some of the changes were
implemented immediately, and
MySpace is working on inte-
grating more and more as time
goes on
' I haven't seen any of the
changes, but f hope they're
working." said Angela Whay.
senior in speech communica-
tions
Whay, a registered MyS-
pace user for about a year and
a half, said she has never re-
ceived any messages from men
trying to prey upon her, but
when she received a message
she deemed inappropriate, she
reported it
After reporting the mes-
sage. Whay said she did not
receive any acknowledgment
from MySpace about the re-
port
According to a press re-
lease from Morrison's of-
fice, the social networking site
vowed to respond to all such
reports
Whay also said she has not
received an e-mail or any sort
of message from MySpace as
lo what the changes will entail,
but she did say she gets some
information from a scrolling
message box on her homepage
The only stale that did not
sign on was Texas, and no one
from the Texas attorney gener
al's office could be reached for
comment
STEROIDS | Records,

Continued from Page 8
read something like the fol-
lowing:
"During the 10 -year pe-
riod from 1995 to 2005,
many players in Major
League Baseball used ste-
roids and other perfor-
mance-enhancing substanc-
es. Consequently, this period
■ forever known as the Ste-
roid Era Keep this in mind
as you turn the following
pages, as it is up lo you to
form your own opinion. All
records and si ati sties are le-
gitimate and fully supported
by Major League Baseball."
ll is obvious MLB Com-
missioner Bud Selig turned
j blind eye to the issue of
steroids in baseball. After
the first Congressional in-
vestigation, Major League
Baseball adopted a new pol-
icy that seems to be work-
ing. The three-strike policy
gels the message lo players
that there will be no toler-
ance for using performance-
enhancing substances
Slowly, but surely, base-
hall is ridding itself of per-
formance-enhancing sub-
stances
The first step was to ac-
knowledge the steroid era
Now. it is time that baseball
moves past il The past is
the past. It can't be changed
It can't be fixed. Baseball
needs to let it go and cele-
brate the game for what it is
today.

In addition to preventing
sickness, exercise also can
make you feel better when
you are already sick Just
make sure you stay hydrat-

If you are going to the
Kec and you are sick, make
sure you wipe down ev-

with the disinfectant, and
use the antibacterial hand
gel provided in the weight
room and at the service
area desks. If you want to
work out in the Rec and
are weary of the sick peo-
ple around you, then wipe
down your machine before
you use it, and don't forget
about washing your hands,
too.
Last but certainly not
least, stay hydrated. If you

down and watch television or

easy," she said
Division of Biology in-
structor Dana Tbwnsend said
donating plasma could cause
a lack of protein.
Plasma contains essential
proteins that might be harder
for the body to make after a
donation, Townsend said
'This is why they don't
let you donate every day." she
said. "This is to make sure the
body has plenty of time to
make new proteins"
Townsend said the pro-
teins hold the fluid in the plas-
ma, and it is important for
people lo drink liquids after
donating.
"If a person goes to a
place that rehydrates you,
you'll be fine, and the | plasma
service] here does." she said
'This one in town is good"
Jonathan Scott, junior in
marketing, learned about plas-
ma donation by reading an ad-
vertisement in the newspaper
He said he realized how
donating plasma can not only
put extra cash in his pocket
but also can have a positive af-
fect on his community
"Of course, there is the
money, but it is also good to
know you're helping out some-
one you'll never meet, thanks
to giving plasma," Scott said.
CLONE | Meat to be
unmarked in stores
Continued from Paget
the FDA came after more
than seven years of research
and about a year after the
FDA released a statement
that cloned meat was as
safe as meat from naturally
raised animals
Since scientists first suc-
cessfully cloned the first an-
imal - a sheep named Dol-
ly - 10 years ago, the top-
ic has been a hotbed of con-
troversy- In a national sur-
vey conducted in Decem-
ber 2006 by the Universi-
ty of Maryland, 63 percent
of people that were polled
said they would contin-
ue to buy meat products if
they learned they were from
cloned animals.
However, in Ihe same
poll, two-thirds of the peo
pie said they are uncomfort-
able with the cloning pro-
cess.

MLB needs
to accept
steroid era,
move on
The decade spanning
from 1995 tu 2005 is possi-
bly the darkest era in Ma-
jor League
Baseball
During
this time,
many pro
fession-
al baseball
players
used per-
form an ce-
enhancing
substanc-
es like ste-
roids and
human -
growth hormone to illegal-
ly improve their athletic abil-
ities. The results of their us-
age were mind-boggling Pri-
or to 1995, there had been
22 occasions when a player
hit 50 or more home runs in
a season Since 1995. there
have been 23.
Many elite players have
been linked to performance-
enhancing substances. Bar-
ry Bonds and Roger Clemens
are two of the most famous
players There has been a
public outcry for baseball of-
ficials to void their records
and statistics from the re-
cord books or at least put an
asterisk next to their names.
However, this is the wrong
approach; the records and
statistics should stand.
Do I think Barry Bonds
used steroids? Of course 1
do His weight went from
185 pounds during his rook*
ie season in 1986 to 206
pounds in 1998. to 240
pounds today He put to-
gether possibly the best sta-
tistical five-year span by any
MLB slugger
Do 1 think Roger Cle-
mens used steroids? There
is not a doubt in my mind.
The man is 45 years old and
is still one of the league's
most dominant pitchers He
seemed to defy the laws of
nature by playing better as
he got older
Now that former Maine
Sen George Mitchell pub
lished his findings of perfor-
mance-enhancing substanc-
es in baseball, Congress has
decided to conduct its sec-
ond investigation What did
the first investigation do?
Not a whole lot, The MLB
stiffened its drug policy, and
that s about it What is the
point of investigating again?
Congress should spend its
time on more pressing issues
in our country.
All records should stand,
and those users of steroids
who qualify should be al-
lowed into the Hall of Fame.
Barry Bonds and Roger Cle
mens are not the only two
who might have used ste-
roids. Many players, whose
names and faces are long
since forgotten, took ste-
roids, human-growth hor-
mone and other substanc-
es. Why are baseball officials
not going after them? They
are avoiding it because it is
an almost impossible task to
go back and figure out who
took what and how games
were influenced because
their use It is just too daunt
ing of a task. Instead, base-
ball should end its witch-
hunt and move on.

Junior Scott Sdlart completes a jump during the 2006-07 season. Sellers has already qualified for the NCAA tournament this
season after placing first In last year's NCAA competition.
K-State jumper has eye on Olympics
By Joel Aschbrenner
KANSAS STATE COLLEGIAN
Though he is the reigning
NCAA outdoor high-jump cham-
pion, junior Scott Sellers is not
complacent While Sellers wants
to improve his jumps and defend
his national championship, he has
his sights set on making the Olym-
pic team.
Qualifying for the 2008 Sum-
mer Olympic Games in Beijing,
China, would be an impressive
achievement for Sellers
"That's a dream accomplish-
ment," Sellers said
Sellers will have a chance to
make his dream come true when
he competes in the U.S. Olympic
Team Trials, which begin June 27
in Eugene, Ore Sellers said if he
competes like he knows he can, he
thinks he has a good shot to make
the team.
Track coach Cliff Rovelto also
believes in Sellers' talent He said
Sellers' pure athletic ability is a
major contributor to his success.
"He's good. It's really pret-
ty simple," Rovelto said. "Any ath-
lete in any spurt that is competing
at a very high level - they're real-
ly good He's good and that's first
and foremost"
Senior captain Lamar Garrett
said Sellers displays this talent as
well as his understanding of the
sport.
"He brings a lot of experi-
ence," Garrett said "He shows you
that anything is possible "
Like winning the national
championship, qualifying for the
Olympics will take more than just
talent. Rovelto said Sellers puts in
the work to perfect his jumps.
"He has outstanding work
ethic, and he tries to do everything
right - and that's not always com-
mon with these guys and gals who
are really good," Rovelto said. "He
is a professional in how he con-
ducts himself. He stays healthy
You couldn't train at a very high
level if you are tired and broken
down."
While Rovelto credits Sell
ers's talent and work ethic for all
his success, Sellers said his coach
has played a large role in his ac-
complishments
"I just do what he tells me to
do," Sellers said "He is just so ed-
ucated on the biomechanics of
the sport and when to peak just
right"
With the talent, work ethic
and coaching Sellers has. he hopes
that if he makes the Olympic team
he can be successful
"I'd like to think that 1 could
go and make the finals, but 1 don't
know what to expect," Sellers
said
If Sellers qualifies for the
Olympics, he said a good show-
ing would help accomplish anoth-
er goal of his
"It would be a really good
stepping-stone into international
competition," Sellers said
Sellers won the 2007 NCAA
championship when he cleared a
height of 7-7.25. He was named Big
12 Performer of the Year follow-
ing his performance in the Big 12
meet. He said this was a huge ac
complishment for him, and quali-
fying for the Olympics would be a
comparable feet
"They're both equally mean-
ingful," Sellers said "Winning the
national championship puts your
name in the record books as a
national champion, but there is
something about competing with
the best from all over the world
that would be great"
While Sellers is aspiring to
make the Olympic team, he has not
lost focus on his collegiate com-
petition He said he is still highly
motivated because he knows peo-
ple want to knock off the nation-
al champion, and he wants to stay
on top He said it was also impor-
tant to him to keep improving
"The thing about high jump
ing is you can always jump high-
er," Sellers said

YOUR HEALTH
Spring cold,
flu season
can easily
be avoided
Everyone has that class
in which the professor can't
speak loud enough to be
heard over
the coughs,
sneezes
and snif-
fles com-
ing from
the stu-
dents. You
hear about
every third
word that
is spoken,
and your
shirt sleeve
is drip-
ping wet from snot May-
be you learned how to use
a Kleenex in first grade, but
wouldn't it be nice to just
avoid the cold-flu ordeal that
comes at the beginning of
every spring semester?
There are a few things
students can do to avoid
missing the second week of
class with a fever and muscle
aches, and none of them are
difficult
First and foremost, wash
your hands. Often. This
means when you go to the
bathroom, when you bor-
row your sick roommate's
iPod, when you get done
working out, after you blow
your nose. Wash your hands.
Washing your hands doesn't
mean splashing around in
the water; it means using
soap and scrubbing It also
means using hot water Also,
be sure not to overuse an-
tibacterial hand gel. These
products can work wonders
in a pinch, but bacteria can
develop immunity to it if you
overuse it
The second-best step
you can take to avoid get-
ting sick is making sure you
get enough sleep at night.
This is the beginning of the
semester, and unless you
have an evil professor, you
should not have had to pull
an all-nighter yet. This is
the time of year when your
stress level and homework
load should be relatively
low. I realize in two weeks
that could all change, but
get ahead while you can. Ev-
eryone has heard how eight
hours of sleep is ideal, but
you know your body the
best Some people can get by
on five hours - most of us
can't - but you know when
you haven't had enough Z's.
Along with getting
enough sleep is know-
ing how to deal with stress
These two factors tend to go
hand-in hand When you are
stressed, you stay up later to
get things done, or you can't
sleep at all. This is where
your stress-management
skills come into play. Wheth-
er your stress-busting activ-
ity of choice is yoga, work-
ing out at Peter's Recreation
Complex or baking cook-
ies, find something and do ii
when life gets a little hairy. Z
You might avoid a cold that"
could put you even farther
behind than you already are
You can also eat healthy
foods to avoid getting sick.
Orange juice and vitamin C
have long been what people
consume to avoid colds, but
just eating more healthily
in general should also help
your body boost its immune
system Exercise can also

House to address bill Governor asks for relief to clean storm damage
increasing
By Amanda Keim
KANSAS SBIS COLLBGIAN
For years, the debate sur-
rounding teen driving has
echoed through the halls of
tin' Kansas legislative cham-
ber, A bill passed by the Sen-
ate last year to alter current
Kansas laws regarding teen
driving could soon be passed
in the House
The bill would create a
system of graduated licensing,
which is a three -stage process
used lo retain a license
The first stage would be
gin at age 1 5 with a driver be-
ing able to obtain a permit
and drive with supervision.
Similar to the current poli-
cy, a new driver would be re-
quired to log 50 hours of driv-
ing time.
"The purpose of thai first
stage is to get them a lot of ex-
perience In a controlled envi-
ronment where they can learn
how to be successful," said Jim
Hanni, executive vice presi-
dent of AAA Kansas
Hanni said at the conclu-
sion of the first year, at age
16, a person could begin driv
ing unsupervised For an ad-
ditional six months, howev-
er, a supervising adull would
have to be present in the vehi-
cle from 9 p in to 5 am, and
no more than one non-sibling
under the age of 21 could be a
passenger
"The chances of {lee nag
ere) being hurt or killed in a
ear crash go up exponential-
ly with the number of passen-
gers in the car." Hanni said.
At the end of the six-
month period, the driver
would be fully licensed and
unrestricted
"You're not saying [teens]
can't drive; they just can-
not drive unrestricted for six
manlhs," Hanni said. "It's re-
ally not that different from
what they're doing right now,
but it is enough of a change
to ease teens into the full re-
sponsibility of driving.'
Drivers who are younger
age
than the age of 18 will also be
prohibited from operating cell
phones and other electronic
devices while driving.
Although these regula-
tions are meant to increase
safety on the roads, some rep-
resentatives are questioning
whether this bill will allow
teen drivers enough experi-
ence.
"The majority of the testi-
mony we received, you could
break down into two parts.
One was younger drivers
have more accidents; the sec-
ond part was younger drivers
have more accidents because
they have less experience.''
said Rep Tom Sloan, R-Law
rence. "What 1 and the major-
ity of the public are struggling
with is, if you raise the driv-
ing age, how do you ensure
a young driver gets enough
experience? Many of us are
looking for a way to increase
the amount of practice that a
younger driver gets"
Sloan also believes other
parts of the bill leave young
drivers in danger
"Currently, most acci-
dents with young people oc-
cur at night; yet, we require
relatively little practice time
at night," Sloan said
Of the 50 hours that 14-
year-old drivers are current-
ly required to log, only ten of
those hours must be nighttime
hours
A survey of 1,000 fami
lies with teens conducted by
the Kansas Teen Driver Re-
search and Education Project
concluded a majority of Kan-
sas teens and parents agree
with several components of
Ihe bill.
"There is a tendency to
think that people aren't going
to like this, but people do like
it,' Hanni said "When you
talk to the parents whose kids
have gone through licensing,
parents and teens approved
of a graduated approach; they
approved of the restrictions.

By Deborah Muhwerl
KANSAS STATF PMIJKHMI
Like many students, Miami Todd
said she did not expect her finals week
to be interrupted last semester. In the
midst of studying for finals, Todd, se-
nior in kinesiology, found herself with-
out power for more than a week, which
she said completely changed her normal
operation of life
"I had to live at other people's hous-
es, and it just made me feel homeless,"
Todd said.
She was one of hundreds of students
who lost power during the December ice
storm.
In a recent press release, Sharon
Watson, director of Public Affairs for the
Kansas Adjutant General's Office, said
60 counties had significant damage and
debris as a result of the ice storm. Wat-
son said this amount of damage made
the area eligible for federal funding and
Gov. Kathleen Sebclius made a formal
request on Jan 23
"We arc waiting to hear if that has
been approved," Watson said. "It's usu-
ally a fairly quick response - a couple of
days lo a week "
Watson said there were several peo-
ple who were severely affected by the
storm including six people who were
killed - four in traffic accidents and two
from exposure to cold weather.
"Initially, all 105 counties were in-

passed, there were 60 counties (eligi-

proved, these counties would be reim-
bursed,"
Westar Energy, the largest elec
trie provider in Kansas, has more than
674,000 customers, according to the com -
pany's Web site Todd, along with other
students, said she found herself stranded
because she was unable to speak with a
representative from Westar.
Todd said it was frustrating because
the recording that played on Westar's
toll-free hotline stated the power would
come back on in 14 days, and then the
timetable changed to 7-10 days. Todd
said by this time, she was getting

Kansas book clubs let readers meet., discuss literature
By Veronlka Novoselova
KANSAS STATE U>1 LF.UAN
Talk About Literature in Kansas is
a program for all Kansas residents who
love to read and share their opinions
with others.
In more than 30 communities in
Kansas, discussion groups meet on a
regular basis, usually once or twice a
month in different places across Kan-
sas - al libraries, senior centers or his
torical societies. Each meeting lasts one
to one and-a half hours In Manhattan,
the TALK meetings are at the Manhat-
tan Public Library
"It is a very popular program," said
Teri Belin, administrative assistant and
coordinator of the Manhattan Public Li-
brary's friends group "There is a large
group of people who come there time
after lime, and they seem to enjoy it
Scholars and speakers who come here
are very knowledgeable and interesting
individuals."
Each discussion has a leader who
starts with some thought -provoking
points, provides background informa-
tion about authors and gives some ex-
planations for complex ideas, because
without knowing historic context, un-
derstanding the literature might be diffi-
cult.
Michaeline Chance- Reay, assis
tant professor of secondary education
at k si. i iv. joined the Kansas Humani-
ties Council TALK program as a discus-
sion leader in 1999. She said she han-
dles discussions from the author's point
of view
The Kansas Humanities Council
Resource Center helps TALK by provid-
ing materials such as books, brochures,
press releases, publicity photos, finding
a discussion leader for each meeting and
paying speakers' remuneration and trav-
el costs.
The local sponsor, which could be a
library or other nonprofit group, sched-
ules dates with discussion leaders, pro
motes and evaluates programs and keeps
track of volunteer services It also selects
the series to present, which means thai
different communities discuss different
books.
In January, KHC offered 3 1 series on
various topics of interest like childhood
classics, rural America, world faiths,
American Indian mysteries, Kansas liter
ary heritage and more Each of the series
contains four to seven books This Janu-
ary, in Manhattan, residents gathered to
discuss the book "O Pioneers!" by Wil-
la Gather On Feb 26, they will share
thoughts about "Dancing al the Rascal
Fair," by Ivan Doing

"I want that puppy," Anna
Wilson, said to a K-State stu-
dent with eyes as sad as the
puppy she was gazing at.
Becea Dinkel, junior in so-
cial work, told Wilson why they
could not purchase a puppy on
their trip to the animal shelter,
which is one of Wilson's favor-
ite places.
Wilson trusted Dinkels
judgement, and the two at-
tribute their connection with
building this trust lost like any
other siblings, this pair also oc-
casionally get into playful argu
ments.
Dinkel said spending time
with Wilson helps her cope
with missing her own sisters
she cannot see on a regular ba-
sis
Wilson is one of 133 local
school-age children involved in
Big Brothers and Big Sisters of
Manhattan.

several 'K- State students take
lime out of their schedules to
make a difference in a child's

and loves to see her grow.
"It is my escape to get away
from school and stress," Dinkel
said. "It's really just having fun
together."
Seeing their mentor is
something many of the ment
ees took forward to throughout
the week
"Sometimes 1 feel sad
when leaving my big sister,'
Wilson said "I like spending
lime with her"
Many of the children in
the program come from one-
parent homes or are in need of
a positive role model, said An-
drea Stover, case manager at

of Manhattan The decision to
be in the program for the chil-
dren comes from the parents or
guardians, Stover added
The Big Brothers Big Sis-
ters organization has two pro-

Mentees grow fond of their

She not only works for the or-

Commission discusses city funding
By Corenc Brisendine
KANSAS STATE COLLEGIAN
The city council heard re-
ports on the annual revenue
and updates on the ethics pol-
icy for appointed and elected
officials on Tuesday night
Bernie Hayen. director of
city finance, told commission-
ers there are four major sourc-
es of income for the city: cash
balance, property tax, sales
lax and utility sales.
Cash balances derive from
money set aside from previous
years to be carried forward
until those funds are needed
as delegated by the governing
body, Hayen said.
Property tax makes up six
percent of the total revenue
collected by the city for gener-
al funds
The sales tax compris-
es 32 percent of the general
funds revenue.
"The rating agencies
would like (the city council]
to raise property tax and low-
er sales tax," Hayen said,
Commissioners Bruce
Snead and Mark Hatesohl
both voiced the negative ef
feet to the commission if they
comply to the rating agencies'
wishes.
Ron Fehr, city manager,
agreed with Snead and Hate-
sohl's comments.
Brian Williams, manage
ment assistant presented the
proposed ethics policy to the
commission following the an-
nual revenue report
The commission created
the committee in September
2007 to come up with an eth
ics policy for elected and ap-
pointed officials like the mem
bers of the committee, Wil-
liams said.
Hatesohl said the city be-
gan pursuing an ethics policy
when officials started leaving
office and then lobbying the
city for contracts within six
months alter leaving.
Along with the five main
principles suggested by the
committee, Snead suggest-
ed adding loyally tu the list
of principles. He defined it as
loyalty to the office the elect-
ed official serves
The principle of trans-
parency was a concern when
dealing with confidential in-
formation, said Mayor Tom
Phillips
"During rezoning issues,
we are limited about what we
can say," Phillips said
The council also discussed
conflicts of interest when ap-
pointing citizens to boards
and committees.
Snead said the phrase "direct
financial benefit" needed to be
defined so citizens would not
be confused as to what is con-
sidered a conflict of interest
Overall, council members
said they were happy with (he
recommendations from Ihe
committee.
"That is a great thing for
the staff." Hatesohl said "We
just need to tweak it for the
council."

OPINION
KANSAS STATE COLLEGIAN
WEDNESDAY. JANUARY 30, 2008
Shopping around
Liquor stores fight to keep chain stores out of market
Competition is the driving
force in business Competition forc-
es firms in the market to adapt to
change and
provide higher
quality goods at
a cheaper price
to the consum-
er
For many
years, Kansas
has worked to
limit competi
tion in many
sectors; how-
ever, the state
government fi
nally has started to look at lifting
one of the many protectionist re
strkliuns 00 the wine and spirits
industry This new bill would have
a great effect on the city of Man
hallan
Many independently owned
liquor stores in Manhattan have
joined together with other? across
the state to oppose a bill allow-
ing grocery stores, gas stations and
other large retail stores to sell beer
with five percent alcohol, wine and
hard liquor, thus forcing out com-
petition.
Contrary to what these owners
think, the bill only alluws the pos-
sibility to sell the product in those
venues The ultimate decision of
whether the bill will be implement-
ed resides in the hands of county
governments.
There are many reasons why
some are against this bill, but most
are all wrong
In opposition to the bill. Jeff
Filby, owner of Filby Liquor Store,
as reported by the K Stale Colle-
gian |an. 25, said. "If the Hy-Vees
and Wal Marts and all them start
selling wine and spirits and the
strong beer, then the small liquor
stores are out of business"
City Commissioner Bob
Strawn also was interviewed in (he
Collegian article and believes the
bill wilt not pass in state govern-
ment because "Kansas is a pret-
ty conservative state," said Strawn.
We arc not marVfel] II fesi as other
states around the country in terms
of liquor sales It's a reflection of
who we arc as Kansans"
Opposition to the liquor sales
law does nol derive from conserva-
tive values, it's an opposition orig-
inated by the religious influence
in politics and businesses afraid to
compete in a market with fewer re-
strictions.
To say this bill will be reject-
ed because we are a conservative
state is ridiculous. A conservative
stance would be to pass the bill to
reduce the governmental restric-
tions OB business and promote free
trade. Perhaps we should say op-
position comes from Kansas being
a "religious slate" and businesses'
fear their prices can't compete
Those who are opposing the
law based on a religious opposition
should look to the Bible for ad-
vice - fLove thy enemy" Enemies
or competing businesses increase
competition, which allows oth-
ers to keep their edge in the mar-
ket Big box stores can be scary, but
smaller companies can leant a lot
from their inventory methods.
The higher the volume, ihe
lower the price, but big box stores
sell i it her products and might not
have the higher volume necessary
to have the cheapest prices.
Businesses like Hy Vee have
other ways to compete in the al-
cohol market if this bill is defeat-
ed Hy-Vee Inc has opened liquor
stores not physically connected
with their grocery stores, Hy Vee
Wine and Spirit stores were built
on the border between Kansas and
Missouri to edge into the Sunday li-
quor sales market
According 1o comments made
by Strawn, a wine and spirits spe-
cialty store could be possible. In-
stead of an "extension of the gro-
cery store" Hy-Vee will only have
to make a separate facility on the
same property. Prices for alcohol
are relatively equal across Manhat-
tan, but each store is a little differ-
ent
Some might have cheaper
beer, while others have liquor and
wine for lower prices; however, at
10:45 pm. on a Saturday night, stu-
dents don't really care which store
has the cheapest price. We just care
how fast we can gel another case
or bottle before closing time.

Americans lack awareness of homeless veterans
<3
GRADY
BOLDING
The Iraq war is just months away
from its fifth anniversary. As March
19 draws near, the U S is faced with
several bur
dens regarding
the conflict
Tragically, one
of these bur
dens comes
in the form of
homeless \ el
erans on US
streets
I reinem
ber passing
one of these
unknown he-
roes while re
turning from
a forensics trip in September 2007
When traveling through Oklahoma,
I caught sight of an individual sitting
on the side of the road with only the
clothes on his back, a few bags and a
sign that read. "One homeless veter-
an trying to find his way home"
The saddest thing about il was
that it was not the first time I had
seen a homeless veteran.
A source of embarrassment to
our nation's integrity has always
been the number of homeless indi-
viduals on Ihe streets A recent cs-
tiniaie by the National Alliance to
End Homelessness reported roughly
700.000 people in the United Slates
are homeless. Unfortunately, the De-
partment of Veterans Affairs estimat-
ed roughly 200,000 of these men and
w-omen are veterans of our armed
forces, making up more than one-
fourth of this forgotten population.
After serving overseas, many vet-
erans undergo the re-conditioning
of the home front. Many of them are
forced to combat a number of obsta-
cles regarding their personal well-be-
ing, namely post -traumatic stress dis-
order However, some fall short when
it comes to achieving these goals
Take the story of Hcrold Noel
On April 15, 2007, the San Francisco
Chronicle reported Noel, after return
ing home fro. 1 Iraq in 2004. became
homeless while waiting for his dis
ability checks from the Department
of Veterans Affairs. Noel would even-
tually go on to tell his story in (he
documentary "WTien I Came Home."
but only after battling alcoholism, a
suicide attempt and post traumatic
stress disorder.
There are countless reasons why
men like Noel end up in such situ
ations However, one of the biggest
reasons fur homelessness among sol-
diers is the lack of resources.
Paul Rieckhoff explained in his
2006 article "Homeless Heroes," on
MUitary.com, that some veterans are
not getting the support they need be
cause the Department of Veteran Af
fairs is underfunded
"Despite outcry from every ma-
jor veterans' organization in Amer
iea. funding (or the VA is still not
mandatory," said Rieck-
hoff, founder of Iraq and
Afghanistan Veterans of
America
Fortunalely, we live in
a generation that provides
tare and best wishes for its
soldiers serving overseas.
But as you can see. more
needs to be done There is
nothing more honorable
than for young Americans
to willingly go overseas
and risk losing their lives
for their country
Survival is nothing
short of a blessing But if
you ask anyone with com
mon sense, there is noth-
ing more tragic than when
sumeone returns home to
conditions of abject pover-
ty and hardship.
The US owes it to
its veterans to ensure they
have Ihe best of care and
stability for all they have
been through.
Many are still giving
their service. II is time for us to give
back.

Social Web site to pay
students for using it
By V« rontka Novotelva
KANSAS STATE COLLEGIAN
Students spend hours on
social networking Web sites
like Facebook.com and MyS-
pace.com The latest social
site vying for students' time,
Yuwie.com, promises to pay
users money for spending
time online and bringing new
members into an online com-
munity.
According to the Web
site's terms and conditions.
Yuwie.com has all the fea-
tures expected from a social
networking site, including
personal profiles, groups, e-
mail and videos
The Web site pays us-
ers whenever a person's pro-
file is viewed Members cam
revenue from referral activi-
ty, which means when a per-
son invites friends, their activ-
ity counts as well
To become a member,
each participant has to be at
least 14 years old and only
one account per person is al
lowed. Cheating is prevented;
refreshing or reloading a page
will not count as a page view
Yuwie users can change
their profile information at
any time and control how
others communicate with
them For example, users can
see most of the personal pag
es on the site without having
an account
The Web site was
launched in summer 2007 and
has more than 444,000 mem-
bers About 2,000 new mem
bera join every day, which is
still far from the 62 million ac-
tive users of Facebook com
"I didn't know such a
thing existed, actually," said
Sarah Beebe, freshman in pre-
professional business admin
istration and natural resourc-
es and environmental conser-
vation "But it sounds real
ly cool. 1 would love to have
a page that pays me to be so-
cial"
Yuwie works almost like
a pyramid scheme - the more
people are invited, the more
money a member earns. But
the difference is Yuwie is
completely free It is based on
a revenue-sharing concept -
the company will give part of
the advertising revenue to its
users
According to a video on
the Yuwie main page, other
social networking outlets are
making more than $20 mil-
lion a month while users "do
all the work."
On Yuwie com, users
find out how much they have
earned on the 15th day of ev-
ery month
The revenue-sharing rate
is determined by the sum of
money the Web site received
from advertisements in the
past month. Advertising rates
vary because they are deter-
mined by several factors such
as the time of year, current
economy, and Internet traffic,
according to the video
Zack Troilo, former
K Sunt- student, said he likes
the fact that it may pay out
to have made an account and
use the site He hasn't been a
member long enough to re-
ceive a check, but he hopes to
be paid soon
"I also haven't talked to a
lot of my friends about it yet,"
he said
So far the main setback
of the Web site is the presence
of advertisements directly on
a user's profile
The idea of paying mon
ey to Internet users is becom-
ing increasingly popular An-
other outlet called Yagat
ta.com is newer than Yuwie.
It offers more than 700 free
games and job searches, a us
er- friendly I ay nut and mobile
script which allows viewing
of users' profile on any mobile
device. The first 2.000 Yagat-
ta.com members will be a part
of the revenue- sharing plan as
well

Art professor draws on experience from Roman pieces
By Brand) Brumback
KANSAS STATE COLLEGIAN
If someone had asked
Jason Scuilla five years ago
where he would be today,
Manhattan, Kan , might not
have been his guess.
A Florida native and
soccer player until his un-
dergraduate years, Scuilla is
now an assistant professor of
drawing and printmaking at
K-State.
Scuilla said he has al-
ways been a creative person
but did not fully understand
what drawing was until hav-
ing an influential teacher in
his early years of undergrad-
uate study.
"Somehow [drawing]
just became an addiction
that hasn't stopped yet,"
Scuilla said.
He received a Bachelor
of Fine Arts from the Uni-
versity of Central Florida in
2003. He earned a Master
of Fine Arts in printmaking
from the Tyler School of Art
in 2005
As part of his graduate
studies, Scuilla spent a year
in Rome in 2003 studying
under a master printmaker
and creating art He is con-
sistently inspired by Byzan
tine mosaics and other Re-
naissance or classical Italian
art, which he aims to reinter
pret through his own medi-
um
Daniel Dallmann, head
of the printmaking depart-
ment at the Tyler School of
Art. describes Scu ilia's work
as having interesting spatial
relationships with an often
sensual theme
In Rome, Scuilla spent
some time studying Michel-
angelo's "Last Judgment," af-
ter which he created his own
version
"It's just this whole cha-
os and absurdity of if there
was a last judgment." Scuilla
said
Scuilla's pieces gener-
ally feature two figures in a
passionate embrace He said
prior to starting a piece, he
studies the material he will
work with for e long time
until the figures start to ap-
pear.
"[It's] almost like the
ink blot test." Scuilla said
Most of his works are
prints made from copper
etchings or paintings on
wood blocks, which he then
carves designs into
Each piece might take

Jason Scuilla assistant professor of art, works on a plate for one of his prints in his basement studio in
Willard Hall. Scuilla has worked for the university for almost two years, teaching drawing and printmaking
courses.
Lined up against the walls, the floor and inside the drawers of his studio, Scuilla has prints and
drawings, which focus on the human condition Scuilla worked on anywhere from 20 to 2S pieces at
a time.
him eight or nine hours to
finish, however, no piece is
ever officially completed He
said he constantly goes back
and works on his images.
Scuilla received a Uni-
versity Research Grant in
2007, allowing him to return
to Rome for two months,
where he participated in a
residency at the II Quadrato
di Omega print shop
This is Scuilla's second
year of teaching at K-State.
When he came lo Manhat
tan to teach it was his first
trip to the Midwest. He said
the people in Manhattan arc
nice and the students are the
hardest working he has ever
seen.
Gerry Craig, K-State as-
sociate professor of art and
department head, said Scuil
la's teaching style is informal
and relaxed She said his de
meanor is conducive to test-
ing techniques students are
uncomfortable with, which
is important when starting
out in art.
With his work, Scuilla
aims to make people think
"What I want people
to do is to open up enough
to think about it. not try to
find out what I meant by
it," Scuilla said "There's re-
ally not a right answer with
my work, as long as you're
thinking about it and it cre-
ates some kind of a feeling."
His art has been show-
cased throughout the Unit
ed States and also in Rome
Scuilla's work will be dis
played at the Manhattan
Arts Center in late February

So ihis is it, Kuh - The year the

make such a remark,
it's Beasley. arguably
the best player in col-

But Kansas has

Kansas sophomore

"I think Huggins guar-
anteed a victory, too,
last year."
You're right. Sher-
ron. But Huggins didn't have a team this
good. Though K- St ate was snubbed from
Fast season's NCAA Tournament, the
Wildcats from a year ago would be no
match for the current group.
K-State will surely make the tourna-
ment, and with a frontcourt of Beasley
and Bill Walker, a Final Four isn't com-
pletely out of the question.
Ordinarily, this would be the year

"I heard it. but it really doesn't mat

guy can't beat a team." said senior for-
ward Darnell Jackson. "Actions speak
louder than words, and when it's time

thoroughly rattled the Aggies right out
of their No, 10 ranking.
Not only has the team grown up,
but the coach has as well Frank Mar-
tin has been coaching better and his
team of assistants has done an excel-
lent job of developing schemes that
play to the team's strengths. They have
put together a starting lineup of Gent
Stewart, Blake Young, Andre Gilbert,
Bill Walker and Michael Beasley. This
lineup has a 6- 1 record so far this sea-

Martin has also been smarter with his
substitutions. He's seen the play of Darren
Kent gradually improve, so he's increased
Kent's playing time. Both Gilbert and Ja-

Tennis freshman moving past language, playing-level barriers
Tyltr Sharp
KANSAS STATE COLLEGIAN
Stop and think about the
level of culture shock many
face when traveling to a foreign
country Now factor in the as-
similation process for K-State
athletes who face a steep lan-
guage barrier and compete at
the highest level in intercolle-
giate athletics. These challenges
could seem like a daunting task,
but K-State tennis coach Steve
Bictau helps players deal with
these problems on a regular ba-
its.
The three freshman mem
bers of his team hail from the
European countries of Slovenia
and France, and the remain
der of his squad came from
Venezuela, Argentina and the
Czech Republic Pauline Gue-
mas, Vanessa Cottin and Antea
Huljev make up the Wildcats'
freshman class this year and
have had many adjustments to
the NCAA version of the game
they have grown up with
"I'd say the adjustment is
more to a higher level of com-
petition," Bietau said "Depend-
ing on where they are from,
they have played un clay a lot;
that's obviously an adjustment
there It's more of a natural pro-
gression that they'd go through
wherever they are"
Huljev, a native of Vclcnje.
Slovenia, boasts a 7-6 record
in singles play and 5-6 record
with a variety of doubles part-
ners. She said adjustment to the
United Slates version of tennis
was not that big of an issue
"I think everything is the
same in Slovenia," she said "I
like to do hard work and I like
to play tennis, so nothing's a big
deal. I like if
Senior Olga Klimova of
Brno, Czech Republic, said
the adjustment process beyond

COLUMBIA. Mo -Three
days after a weekend brawl left
his top scorer with a broken
jaw, Missouri basketball coach
Mike Anderson has suspended
five players indefinitely
In a statement from the
university, Anderson declined
to indicate the reason for ihe
discipline, calling the infrac
lions a violation of team rules.
But the move comes as Co-
lumbia police verified Tues-
day that several teammates
were with senior guard Stef-
hun Hannah when he was at-
tacked outside Ihe downtown
nightclub Athena early Sun
day morning The injury could
cause Hannah to miss ihe resl
of the season.
Suspended from Wednes-
days home game against Ne-
braska, and possibly beyond,
are senior guard Jason Hor
Urn and senior forwards Mar-
shall Brown, Darryl Butter-
field and junior forward Leo
Lyons. Each is either a starter
or a key reserve Hannah, who
returned home lo Chicago af
ter surgery, also is suspended
"1 am very disappointed
in the actions of these young
men," Anderson said. "We
have defined team rules and
when those rules aren'l fol
lowed, our guys must be held
accountable for their actions"
Sgt- Ken Hammond, su-
pervisor of the city's major
crimes unit, didn't identify
the players who accompanied
Hannah, but noted thai "there
were numerous other players
there"
Anderson implemented
what he called a "zero-tolcr-
ance" policy after junior lor
ward DeMarre Carroll - his
nephew - was shot in the an-
kle outside another Colum-
bia nightclub over the sum-
mer Police said Carroll was a
bystander trying to break up a
fight
Along with the injuries
suffered by Hannah and Car
roll, three other Tiger piny
ers have been involved in off-
court violence or misconduct
since Anderson was hired less
than (wo years ago
One of those was But-
lerficld. who was arrested on
charges of third -degree do-
mestic assault fur allegedly
punching an ex-girlfriend. He
was suspended before the sea

ed after missing one exhibition
game and an intrasquad scrim-

VENEZUELAN GUNMEN
RELEASE ALL HOSTAGES
ALTACRACIA DE
OR1TUCO. Venezuela -
Gunmen who held do/en*
of hostages inside a Vene-
zuelan bank fur inure than a
day fled in an ambulance but
were caught Tuesday along a
roadside, where they surren-
dered and freed their last five
captives.
One of the robbers shot
himself in the leg when his
gun went off during the
chase, but none of the hos
tages were seriously hurt,
said Justice Minister Ramon
Rodriguez Chacin, calling it
a "100 percent" success.
The gunmen first let
three hostages go after pit-
lice caught their vehicle, and
then negotiated while hold-
ing on !o the last two Ciimr
ico state Gov. Eduardo Ma
nuitt said.
They eventually turned
over their guns and a gre-
nade and then were ordered
to the ground as police ar-
rested them, Manuitt said
The pursuit ended less than
two hours after the gunmen
fled the bank under a deal
negotiated with police
"This nightmare is over,"
Manuitt told state television.
The arrests ended an
ordeal that began Mon-
day morning with a botched
bank robbery in this town
southeast of Caracas. The
hostage standoff at the Ban-
co Provincial branch was the
longest in at least a decade
in Venezuela, and every twist
and turn became a spectacle
in TV and radio news across
the country and in neighbor-
ing Colombia
In the hnal hours, MMM
hostages inside the bank
held up signs in the windows
with desperate pleas for help
and used cell phones to call
their relatives
Under the deal with po-
lice, the gunmen were per
milled to leave with five hos
i ages who agreed to accom-
pany them, freeing the rest
of the captives at the bank
Police allowed the gunmen
to flee because "they threat
ened to start killing the hos
tages in 20 minutes." Manuitt
said

Column on Sebelius
misleading to readers
Editor.
I just read Brett King's arti-
cle aboul Governor Sebelius and
I must say the statement, "Af-
ter rapidly expanding the size
of government in Kansas, Sebe
lius has done her best to increase
the lax burden on all Kansas citi-
zens. According to the Tax Foun
datiou. income taxes in the state
of Kansas are at an all-time high."
is misleading Obviously this is an
opinion piece, but opinions can
be wrong
In November 2005, Time
magazine named Sebelius as
one of the five best governors in
.Vin erica, praising her for elimi-
nating a $1 1 billion debt she in-
herited, ferreting out waste in
slate government and strongly
supporting public education - all
without raising taxes. Her bipar
tisan approach to governing also
received praise.
Sebelius brought people to-
gether to push through funding
for our state universities, which
included K State, that were crum-
bling, literally She has brought
people together to tackle health
issues in Kansas She cut waste
from the state budget to the tunc
of millions of dollars or reallo
cated funds to areas that need-
ed it. She and the si alehouse are
currently focusing on efforts to
hnug jobs to rural Kansas She
gave state employees a desper-
ately needed raise Stale classi-
fied employees - there are sever-
al thousand here are the universt
ly - didn'l receive an increase for
close to five years
Because of Sebelius and her
ability lo work and compromise
together with the Republican-
controlled st alehouse, conditions
in Kansas have vastly improved

EL DORADO, KAN.
- Democrat Barack Obama
intensified a serious effort
Tuesday tu win what has
been a safe Republican state
and picked up Gov Kath-
leen Sebelius' endorsement
for his White House bid
Hundreds of cheering
supporters braved blowing
snow and frigid tempera-
tures to crowd into a gym-
nasium at Butler Communi-
ty College to see Obama the
week before Kansas' pres-
idential caucuses The city
fire marshal estimated 1 ,900
people were in the gym
and about 400 more were
in overflow areas in other
buildings.
Obama has Kansas
lies: His mother was bom
at Fort Leavenworth dur-
ing World War II, and Stan-
ley Dunham, her father and
Obania's grandfather, was a
native of El Dorado His ral-
ly occurred on Kansas Day,
the anniversary of the stale's
admission to the Union in
1861.
He began his speech
by declaring: "We're among
friends here. We're family"
He said he could talk
about making politics less
divisive because of his per-
sonal experiences. "It's a
story that began here in El
Dorado," he said
Democratic presiden-
tial candidates long had
sought Sebelius' backing in
a state that George W Bush
carried by large margins in
the 2000 and 2004 elec-
tions No Democratic nom-
inee for the White House
has won Kansas' electoral
votes since 1964, but Sebe-
lius has won two terms and
prospered politically
"Our country is more
than a collection of red
States and blue stales be-
cause my story could hap-
pen only in the United
Slates of America," Obama
said
He pointed to Sebelius
as an example: "She's shown
America that the Democrat-
ic Party is a party that can
run anywhere and win any-
where and lead anywhere."
Sebelius won re-elec-
tion in 2006 with nearly 58
percent of the vote, even
though less than 27 percent
of voters in Kansas are reg
istered Democrats
Her success has led na-
tional Democratic leaders
to describe her as one of
the party's brightest stars
She gave the Democratic
response to Bush's State of
the Union address Monday
night
"Barack Obama has
Midwestern values, values
that we know about, and
he got them from his grand
parents and his mom." she
said.
State and national Re-
publican Party officials por
trayed both Obama and
Sebelius as oul-of-touch lib
erals Chris! ian Morgan, the
state GOP's executive direc
tor, said endorsing Obama
"does nothing for Kansas."
"It is simply an attempt
by the governor to increase
her national visibility al the
expense of the people of
Kansas," he said
Also questioning the
significance of Sebelius' en-
dorsement was Dan Lykins,
the state Democratic Party's
treasurer and co-chairman
of Hillary Rodham Clin-
ton's presidential campaign
in Kansas
"What really counts is
not who endorses someone,
but who gets out and votes
in the caucuses, and a lot of
them have already made up
their minds," Lykins said
Clinton has three paid
staffers in Kansas and
opened offices earlier this
month in Kansas City, Tope-
ka and Wichita. But Obama
opened his Kansas head-
quarters in Lawrence in Oc
tober and has 18 staff mem-
bers in the state
Kansas Democrats will
have caucuses at SO sites on
Super Tuesday to determine
the votes of 32 of their 41
delegates to (he Democrat-
ic National Convention this
summer in Denver Sebelius
is one of the remaining nine
delegates who will represent
the slate
Some Obama support-
ers were jubilant to learn
that Sebelius' endorsement,
rumored for months, was
official.
"The momentum al-
ready was going Obama's
way and this will be like a
gust of wind and put him
over the top," said Rep
1. Candy Ruff, of Leaven-
worth
foe Brichacek, a high
school senior from Hess
ton, described himself as
an undecided voter before
Obama's speech. After-
ward, he said he was "pret-
ty far convinced" to vote for
Obama
"The endorsement of
Gov. Sebelius means some-
thing to me," said Brichacek.
who turns 18 before the No-
vember election, making
him eligible to participate in
the caucuses
Before traveling to El
Dorado, Sebelius said her
two " 2 someth i ng" sons
and 86-year-old father, for-
mer Ohio Gov John Gilli-
gan, were already backing
Obama. In El Dorado, she
joked: "I'm here because my
two sons are driving me cra-
zy."
For Obama, It was an-
other in a string of high-
profile endorsements in the
past two days, following on
the heels of those from Sen
Edward Kennedy, D-Mass.;
his son, Rep. Patrick Ken
nedy, D-R I ; and Caroline
Kennedy, daughter of Pres-
ident Kennedy
But Lykins said Clinton
has strong support in Kan-
sas among labor unions and
"regular Democrats" who
have long been active in the
party
"He's a good speak-
er, but that in and of itself
should not determine who
you should vote for," Lykins
said of Obama "He can
say what he's going to do,
but he hasn't done it She's
done it."

KANSAS STATE COLLEGIAN
Every Tuesday for the past
four yean, a specialized club has
gathered with one goal: to play
dodge ball
The K-State dodge ball club
is in its fourth year and shows no
signs of leaving. The club has an
average attendance of 30 to 50
students and set a record last se-
mester for the amount of partici-
pants
"Last fall we had 147 people
show up to play," said Luke Stra-
mel, junior in theater and mar-
keting and vice president of the
club "It was hectic, but it was
one of the most fun nights we've
had"
Tb join the club, there are
three requirements. Prospec-
tive club members are required
to sign a waiver, show up will-
ing to participate and pay $5
per semester. Stramel said the
money offsets the cost of replac-
ing the equipment, most notably
the playground balls used by the
team.
"We break about one and a
half balls a night," Stramel said.
"We have people throwing them
and kicking them and hitting
sharp corners'*
At the start of each meeting,
the club divides into two teams.
There are, however, times when
the team gets to play against out-
side competition.
The University of Kansas
and the University of Nebraska
have had teams in the past and
have challenged the K-State club
to games
"We've played them and de-
stroyed them both times," Slra
mel said "So we like to joking-
ly refer to ourselves as the Big 12
champions of dodge ball."
When traveling out of the
city to play, the club does not
take all of its members, Stramel
said, just the students who make
it out every week A quick team
is assembled and the trip to a
neighboring town is made.
In addition to playing other
colleges, the team has played in
organized tournaments around
the nation
The club uses traditional
rules with one exception.
"In normal dodge ball, you

John Diederkh. sophomore in open option, gets ready to hurl a ball in
the dodge ball game played regularly by the dodge ball club in Ahearn
gym every Tuesday night.
can hold the ball and block with
it," Stramel said "We play that
you can't hold it and block. You
either catch or dodge. Thai's it."
Stramel said the reason for
the rule was to speed up the
time to allow for the maximum
amount of games played.
One reason the club keeps
growing is word of mouth. Ryan
Rush, senior in horticulture,
heard about the club while he
was still in high school and has
been playing ever since
"1 really love the intensity,"
Rush said "I'm really athletic,
and with work, it makes it hard
to work out I mean, who can't
make 9 to 1 1 on Tuesdays?"
The active aspect is also an
attraction for other club mem
bers who have a hard time find-
ing time to make it out to the
gym.
Lauren Johanns, sophomore
in interior architecture, said she
enjoys playing dodge ball be-
cause it keeps her in shape

Nebraska study says
hand sanitizers alone
may not curb infection
Mukasey refuses to speak on legality of waterboarding
THfc A»l>UATED PRESS
OMAHA, Neb - Doc-
tors and nurses on the go of-
ten skip soap and water in fa-
vor of an akohol-based hand
gel. thinking the quick-acting
goo will kill bacteria on their
hands and curb the spread of
infection It turns out that's
not enough
In a Nebraska hospital,
medical workers nearly dou-
bled their use of the alcohol-
based gel, but their general-
ly cleaner hands had no bear-
ing on the rate of infections
among patients.
The doctor who studied
the problem pointed to many
villains: rings and fingernails
that are too long and hard to
clean, poor handling of cath-
eters and treatment areas that
aren't sanitized,
"Hand hygiene is still im-
portant, but it's not a panacea,"
said Dr Mark Rupp, an infec-
tious disease specialist at the
University of Nebraska Medi-
cal Center He led the study at
(he adjoining Nebraska Medi-
cal Center
The results of his study
appear to contradict hospital
guidelines from the Centers
fat Disease Control and Pre-
vention that say better hand
hygiene - through frequent
washing or use of hand gel*
- has been shown to cut the
spread of hospital infections
The spread of infection-
causing ycrms in U S hospi-
tals is a huge health problem,
accounting for an estimat-
ed 17 million infections and
99,000 deaths each year, ac-
cording I.i the CDC These in-
clude drug-resistant staph, uri-
nary tract infections and ven-
tilator-associated pneumumu
among others
There are many factors
that influence the develop-
ment of hospital-acquired in
fections. It would be naive to
think that a single, simple in
tervcntion would fix this prob-
lem," Rupp Mid
His study appears in the
lanuary issue of Infection Con
trol and Hospital Epidemiolo-
gy
Research has shown alco-
hol-based hand gels are more
effective, faster and easier to
use than soap and water. The
findings ol the new study were
hased on 300 hours ofiand
hygiene observations of fan
es and doctors in twoTCompa-
rable intensive care units over
a two-year period.
More gel dispensers were
put in the units, and usage rose
from 37 percent to 68 percent
in one unit and from 38 per
cent to 69 percent in the other.
Compliance for hand washing
of any kind in most hospitals is
estimated to be about 40 per-
cent, according to experts, al
though some hospitals do bet-
ter
Every two months, bacte-
ria samples were taken from
health workers' hands, which
were found to be cleaner when
using the alcohol gel.
The infection rates in both
ICUs were "relatively low," the
study said. And researchers
found "no significant relation-
ship" between rates of hand
gel use and infections among
patients In fact, in one unit
the infection rate rose when
the hand gel was widely avail-
able and its use promoted
Rupp found the results
surprising. However, he said
hospital -borne infections can-
not be stopped by better hand
hygiene alone because infec-
tions aren't limited to person-
to-person contact.
He suggested hand gels
be combined with other mea-
sures, such as better cleaning
of hospital units, proper inser-
tion and maintenance of cath-
eters, and doctors prescribing

He also said hospital
workers shouldn't wear rings
and should trim their finger-
nails even more than the CDC
recommendation of no lon-
ger than a quarter of an inch.
Rupp said bacteria showed up
when nails extended just be-
yond the fingertip
Mike Bell, who deals with
infection control at the CDC,
said that while he didn't agree
that hand gels do little to re-
duce infection, Rupp was right
to say they were just one part
of the solution.
"If they don't do every-
thing else right, having clean
hands is not enough." he said.
Both Bell and Dr Da-
vid Hooper of Massachusetts
General Hospital in Boston
suggested that Rupp's study
would have shown a reduction
in infections if it was conduct-
ed over a longer period

THE ASSOCIATED PRtSS
WASHINGTON - Attorney Gen-
eral Michael Mukasey said Tuesday he
will refuse to publicly say whether the
interrogation tactic known as water-
boarding is illegal, digging in against
critics who want the Bush administra-
tion to define it as torture
In a letter to Senate Judiciary Chair-
man Patrick Leahy, Mukasey said he
has finished a review of Justice Depart-
ment memos about the CIA's current
methods of interrogating terror suspects
and finds them to be lawful. He said wa-
terboarding currently is not used by the
spy agency.
Since waterboarding is not part of
what Mukasey described as a "limited
set of methods" used by interrogators
now, the attorney general said he would
not rule on whether it is illegal
"1 understand that you and some
other members of the j Judiciary | Com-
mittee may feel that I should go fur-
ther in my review, and answer questions
concerning the legality of waterboard-
ing under current law," Mukasey wrote
in his three- page letter to Leahy. D-Vt.
"I understand the strung interest in this
question, but 1 do not think it would be
responsible for me, as attorney general,
to provide an answer."
The attorney general added: "If this
were an easy question, I would not be
reluctant to offer my views on this sub-
ject. But, with respect, I believe it is not
an easy question There are some cir-
cumstances where current law would
appear clearly to prohibit the use of wa-
terboarding Other circumstances would
present a far closer question "
The letter does not elaborate on
what the other circumstances are.
Mukasey's letter was sent on the
eve of his appearance at a Justice De-
partment oversight hearing chaired by
Leahy It is Mukasey's first appearance
before the committee since he took of-
fice Nov. 9
In a terse statement released min-
utes after Mukasey's letter surfaced. Le-
ahy called the attorney general's posi
tion a "last minute response" that merely
parrots the Bush administration's long-
time dodge on whether waterboarding
is legal.
"It does not. however, answer the
critical questions we have been ask-
ing about its legality," Leahy said in the
statement. "Attorney General Mukasey
knows that this will not end the matter
and expects to be asked serious ques-
tions at the hearing tomorrow"
Waterboarding is an interrogation
tactic that involves strapping down a
person and pouring water over his cloth -
covered face to create the sensation of
drowning. The practice was banned by
the CIA and the Pentagon in 2006
Mukasey wrote that he would not
publicly conclude that waterboarding
is illegal because doing so could reveal
too many "limits and contours" about
the highly classified interrogation pro-
gram to terrorists or other adversaries.
He also noted that some senators resist-
ed specifically banning waterboarding
in 2006, when Congress passed the Mil-
itary Commissions Act.
Congress has prohibited cruel, in-
human and degrading treatment of ter-
ror suspects. Sen. John McCain, R-Ariz ,
a key sponsor of (he 2006 bill, has said
he was personally assured by adminis-
tration officials that waterboarding was
prohibited under the new law
The issue of waterboarding briefly
snarled Mukasey's confirmation hear
ings by the same Senate committee last
October. At the time, Mukasey refused
to define waterboarding as torture be
cause he was unfamiliar with the classi-
fied justice Department memos describ-
ing the process and legal arguments sur-
rounding it
He promised then, however, to re-
view the memos if confirmed and return
an answer to the Senate ludieiary Com
mittee Tuesday's letter represents that
response.
Waterboarding also is at the heart
of a (ustice Department criminal inve-s
tigation over whether the CIA illegally
or otherwise improperly destroyed vid
eotapes in 2005 of two terror suspects
being interrogated. The tapes showed
harsh interrogations, including possi
ble waterboarding. of suspected terror
ists Abu Zubaydah and Abd al-Rahim
al-Nashiri in 2002, when both suspects
were held in secret CIA prisons over
seas They were destroyed as intelli
gence officials debated whether water
boarding should be declared illegal.
Critics want the [ustice Department
to join other nations and outlaw Ma
boarding as illegal. But US. intelligent
officials fear that doing so could make
government interrogators - including
those from the CIA - vulnerable to ret
roactive criminal charges or civil law
suits.
Ten senators, led by Democrat Ed
ward M. Kennedy of Massachusetts fie
manded last week that Mukasey imme
diately clarify his stand on walerboard
ing, saying he has had ample time
to study this issue and reach a conclu
sion"
"Reasonable people can disagree,
and have disagreed, about these mat
tcrs." Mukasey wrote Tuesday. "11 is pre
cisely because the issue is so important,
and the questions so difficult, that I, as
the attorney general, should not provide
answers absent a set of circumslanu"
(hat call for those answers Those cii
cumstanccs do not present themselves
today, and may never prevent them
selves in the future"

REQUEST | Westar offers home emergency tips
Continued from ftqel
ready to leave for winter
break.
Nick Bundy, Westar Ener-
gy spokesman, said the compa-
ny did all it could during this
outage. Bundy said there were
two lines thai customers could
call, but it was more efficient
for customers to call the auto-
mated line
"Manhattan was one
of the hardest hi! due (o the
amount of ice that formed and
the amount of vegcnilimi that
Manhattan has," he said.
According to a news re-
lease from Westar, 26.696 cus-
tomers in Manhattan, or 86.3
percent of the city, were with-
out power. The news release
stated that the storm caused
$73 million to $85 million
worth of damage.
Bundy said Westar went
into "storm mode" and began
calling out-of-town crews 36-
48 hours before the company
reached the peak number of
customers without power Bun
dy said though Westar called
for assistance many hours in
advance, the crews had a cou-
ple hours of drive time before
they reached Manhattan.
"For the most part, when
you go back and look at every
thing, there are always some
things you can do better," he
said "We had a big critique af-
terwards, which will allow us
to keep going forward and dis-
cover what we can do better."
Bundy said Westar has
begun to notice a trend of ice
storms occurring roughly ev-
ery three years He also said
there are tips and information
published on the Westar Web
site about how to be better pre
pared for a power outage
"We want to encourage
people to be prepared for an
emergency situation," he said.
"You never know where the
next one might hit."
Watson said she wanted
to stress the importance of be-
ing prepared for any land of
storm in Manhattan and the
surrounding communities She
noted that this can primarily be
done by having a home or car
kit prepared Watson said these
kits should include the essen-
tials like candles, flashlights,
water and non-perishable food
items.
Watson said she encour-
aged individuals in the com
munity to take the necessary
steps to be better prepared as
well as local cities and counties
to have the necessary plans set
in stone
DRIVING | House hopes
to improve teen driving
Crxiiinuf-d from Panel
Vhen you think about it, it's
ensible"
Forty-six states have al-
ted similar pieces of
egislation
1 Jus is what we can do
bout it in a way that's prac-
' reasonable and lakes
niii consideration that par-
allel leens want to drive
Hutu's been a lol of research
over the years and ihe thing
I hat has proven the most eflcc-
fJvc way to succeed in driving is
the graduated driver's license,"
Hanoi said
Rep Gary Hazylelt, R-
l.akin. said this legislation in
i >mt>inalion with the passing of
. last year's mandatory seat belt
| law for those under 18 years of
• age will begin to have an effect
on the number of teen-related
cor crash injuries and deaths.
"Bj changing it (current
ieen driving regulations! and
the seatbell law, we hope
I fifference." he said.
Both Sloan and Hanni em
phaataed that the bill will not
punish young drivers but to
help them succeed as responsi-
ble drivers
"It's not so much about the
fault ol the teen driver." Hanni
said. "We put people in cars at
a very early age and it's an adult
activity We put them in an envi-
ronment that is extremely dan
gerous and it's the most dan-
gerous thing they can do It's a
documented fact that it injures
and kills more teens than any
thing else"
As the House continues
to battle through the specifies
of the bill, legislators said the
overall goal is to keep teen driv-
ers safe.
"I think there's a good
chance that at least part of the
bill will be passed by the legis-
lature," Sloan said "Very few
bills are introduced and passed
as they are introduced. We're
always amending them I sus-
pect that well do something on
training. I suspect I hat we will
limit the number of people in
the vehicle and play with ages.
but probably not as drastically
as they propose"

Karen McCulloh. member
of the KHC board of (fine-
ton and director of Priends
of K Stale Libraries "You
read a book and want to talk
to somebody about it Some
books are easier, others are
more complicated The Kan-
sas Humanities Council en-
courages people to read and
to learn and think about hu-
manities"
Generally, people check
out and read the books be-
fore going to the discussion,
though some don't They
come to find out which books
are worth reading.
"This program is high-
ly valued by Manhattan res
iderits and library -goers, al-
though many students often
don't know about it or they
arc busy with reading for their
English classes." McCulloh
said
McCulloh said the TALK
series helps readers achieve
a better understanding of the
literature they have read and
become interested in reading
more books,
"For example, they would
like to read something else by
the same author or in the same
time period," McCulloh said
This program is very impor-
tant because it promotes the
love of books"

So my question is, why
would you add fuel to the
fire? All Beasley has done
is given Kansas bulletin
board material and put ex-
tra pressure on his team-
mates to follow through
with his guarantee But
just tike a legitimate top-
tier team, Kansas won't
let such remarks affect the
way it plays.
"That doesn't both-
er me, because I'll be hon-
est with you, my guys have
confidence," coach Bill
Self said. "But regardless
of what anybody says con-
cerning predictions or any-
thing like that, that won't
have anything to do with
what happens between
the lines But that doesn't
bother me. We'll talk to
our guys about that. But
when a guy is averaging 24

1 think he has a right to
talk a little bit."

HAUN I Young team has grown together
Continued from Pig* t
Though Dominique Sutton
has not made a significant
impact on the scoreboard
yet, he's only been prac-
ticing with the team for a
month, so with a little time,
1 can see him making a sig-
nificant contribution to the
team
I guess what is so con-
fusing to me is that I don't
recall there being a K State
team in the recent past who
has not hit the panic button
multiple times going down
the stretch when the game
is close For every three-
point-shol the other team
gets. Walker or Stewart will
step right up and down an-
other one When Beasley
gets a few fouls and is tak-
en out of the game and re-
placed with Kent, someone
on the floor still finds a way
to score while doing every-
thing possible to limit the
opposition
Not only is this team
cool and confident, it is also
playing smart. These play-
ers have enough experience
now to read screens, see
defensive schematics and
quickly change from one de-
fense to another. Even bet-
ter, they are a true joy to
watch.
During the second half
of the Texas A&M game,
fans could see them out
there having fun They were
smiling, trying plays they
hadn't before, making fun
passes and working hard to-
gether They were a team,
and proved they could come
together when it really mat-
tered Even if Texas A&M
was overrated, it doesn't
matter K State's 20-point
victory still opened a lot of
eyes
1 almost don't want this
basketball season to end.
Whether they play togeth-
er for four years or wheth-
er they cut their losses and
take off to the NBA, I'll say
this for them: it's been an
enjoyable season so far.

Different products, colors of makeup work better for different seasons
By Megan I
KANSAS STATE COLLECIAN
As the seasons fall away and melt into one
another, it isn't just the leaves that change col-
ors. Different colors of makeup are more popu-
lar during different seasons and can help add a
little sparkle to a look while highlighting the nat-
ural beauty of a particular lime of year.
"In the winter, cooler colors are very popu-
lar," said Heather Riniker, cosmetologist at cos-
metics store Merle Norman. "Cool colors are
shades like grays, blues, greens and neutral col-
ors. These are a lot of the colors we sell a lot of
during the colder seasons."
Riniker said as the weather starts warming
up, the store will begin selling many shades of
pink, while fail calls for warmer colors.
Merle Norman specializes in helping cus-
tomers find shades of makeup and eye shad-
ow colors that wiU perfectly match their skin
type, and Riniker said the general rule is lighter
shades of color for lighter skin types and darker
shades for darker skin.
"Everyone has cither a cool or a warm skin
tone," she said. "If your skin is more neutral,
you're lucky, as you can wear just about any col-
or you can think of."
Rmiker said hair color works similarly when
selecting the perfect shade of color for the face
There are warm and coo] colors for hair
color as well," she said "Blondes can get away
with sheerer colors, while those with darker hair
should wear darker shades, because going to
light can hide your eyes"
Other makeup suppliers said they see an in-
crease in certain colors during different seasons,
also
"We sell a lot of purples in the winter
months and a lot of jewel colors, such as plum."
said Linda Chimicl. Clinique business manager
at Dillard's. "As we head into spring, we'll see an
increase in pastel colors"
Karen Kinasl, Clintque beauty consultant,
said any of these colors can work on just about
anyone.
"Almost anyone can wear any shade," Kinast
said "The trick is to not go too light or too dark
If you do a dramatic, dark eye, go lighter on the
lips to balance it out. The only difference an in-
dividual person would make is on what specific
shade of a color they should wear."
Regardless of what color customers choose
to wear, nothing will make them look their best
without smooth, moisturized skin It is no secret
that dry skin is a problem many people combat
in the colder months KOOTW, most cosmet-
ic lines carry products that can help skin hold
moisture, no matter the skin type.
"We carry products for all ages and types."
Kinast said of Clinique's products. "We're fa-
mous for our Three-Step System, which helps a
lot with dry skin"
Kinast said the system consists of a face
wash to get rid of oil and dirt, a clarifying lotion
to gel rid of dead skin cells and finally, a mois-
turizer to give skin that smooth, silky appear-
ance
"Dermatologists created these products for
us in 1968 to give people in department stores
similar products to what would be prescribed in
their offices," Kinast said "It's not the strength
of prescription products but can give similar ef-
fects."
No matter what products consumers choose
to keep their faces beautiful during the winter
months, there is one secret that will always keep
people smiling, Kinast said.
"There really are no rules to beauty, ex-
cept to just wear whatever makes you fee) confi-
dent"

Fast-food taste without the cholesterol problems
When 1 was a little tyke, unlike a
lot of kids, my parents rarely took me
to McDonald's for a Happy Meal As
I grew older and got
my driver's license,
the joys of the gold-
en arches started to
call my name Bef< in
school, after .school
or after practice -
anytime was burger
time for me Almost
once a day I would
enjoy my favorite,
the Double Quarter
Pounder with cheese
and a large Coca-Cola.
All the glorious meals were
brought to a screeching halt to-
ward the end of my senior year of
high school Apparently, being skinny
doesn't keep the old nemesis, Mr. High
Cholesterol, away My test results were
through the roof.
After a verbal tongue lashing from
my mother about my eating habits and
family history, I was given a choice -
take medication or change my eating
habits. Even though 1 wiU most like-
ly have to take medicine in the future,
I figured 1 would at least try to change
my eating habits first. Changing my
diet has been difficult but its better
than taking medicine for the rest of my
life.
My body adjusted well to not hav-
ing fast food, however, when I am on
the go, fas! food can sometimes be the
only quick option available. Though
those meals taste wonderful, a few
hours later, 1 generally feel sicker than
a dog because of the preservatives and
quality of the meat
With my love of Double Quarter
founders in mind, I developed a cas-
serole with all the flavor of a McDon
aid's burger that doesn't clog the arter-
ies as much
NOT SO FAST-FOOD
CHEESEBURGER CASSEROLE
Don't be cheap on the macaro
ni and cheese; usually 1 would go with
the off brand, but in this case it is a ne-
cessity to have the Kraft brand Pre
pare the macaroni according to the
box Cook noodles for 8 minutes, then
drain Add cheese powder (from box),
milk and margarine Stir until thor-
oughly mixed and set aside.
By the way, 1 am well aware the
box gives directions for a healthier ver-
sion with fewer calories and fat, but
old habits die hard. In my opinion,
many of those "healthier" versions arc
less tasty. Pood should be enjoyed -
not taste like sawdust
Before starting on the meat, pre
heat the oven to 450 degrees In large
saute pan, begin browning the ground
beef. While meat is browning, add on
ions, Italian seasoning, Worcestershire
sauce and a dash of salt and pepper
Once the meat is browned, drain in

Ballet
features
love story,
own music
By Eric Davis
KANSAS STATE COLLEGIAN
The latest installment in
the McCain performance series;
the ballet "Giselle" will premier
7 30 p.m. Thursday in Mcain
Auditorium.
The St Petersburg Bal-
let Theatre will give the perfor
am
Though this isn't the first
ballet to be part of the McCain
Performance series, it is said to
be different from others, as it is
a "storybook ballet." said Thorn
fackson. assistant director of
McCain. This type of ballet in-
corporates music and dancing
along with a full-length story.
The story involves a prince
(impersonating a peasant) who
falls in love with a woman, Gi-
selle The prince has been be-
trothed to another woman and,
when Giselle finds out she can-
not marry him. she dies of a
broken heart, Jackson said.
After she dies, her soul
Kwstnaplaccoul in the woods
called the Willies: a dark wood-
ed area where other women
who have had their heart bro-
ken go after they die
Once in the Willies, ladies
bring in the gentleman whom
Giselle was in love with. These
jilted ladies' purpose in life is to
drive their lost lovers insane,
eventually killing them, Jackson
said
"You have betrayal, and
you have lust and passion, and
you have a supernatural -type of
effect going on," Jackson said.
"It really is a brilliant story."
It's also one of the very first
ballets that had music was writ-
ten specifically for the ballet.
"In the past, people would
choreograph dances to mu-
sic that had already been com-
posed." Jackson said "It is the
opposite in this case The music
was specifically composed for
the ballet."
McCain is only responsible
for providing the sound, lights
and a place for the group to per-
form
"We are what's called a
roadhouse or a performance fa-
cility, so we bring in road com-
[i, iiiics." Jackson said

Wildcat freshman say they are ready for 1 st Sunflower Showdown
By Joe Btrg karri p
KANSAS srATt C OLLECilAN
The year was 1983 Rea
ganomics were in full swing.
The Police were No 1 on the
Billboard Charts. Sally Ride
became the first U.S. woman
in space, and the K State Wild-
cats defeated their archrival.
Kansas 58-57 in Manhattan.
Fast forward to 2008
where things are hardly the
same in the Little Apple or
at K-State in general Yel one
thing has withstood the tesl of
25 years - the winning streak
the layhawks seem unwilling
to relinquish Even moving to
a new venue has not willed any
successful attempts at knocking
off ihe |ayhawks in Manhat-
tan Many players have come
and gone during that time, but
maybe none so highly regard-
ed as this year's freshman class,
which includes guard Jacob
Pull en, forward Michael Bea-
sley and redshirt forward Bill
Walker.
Up to this point in the
season, no game has received
mure hype, and the young play-
ers will try nut let lei the atmo-
sphere dictate the game nega-
tively
i just do the same things
I do for any other game," Pul-
len said "I want to get in there
and help out the learn I don't
want lo put any extra pressure
on myself or anybody else. In
the end, it's si ill a Big 12 game,
and we want to win all of our
conference games
"In Ihis case it just hap-
pens to be a rivalry game, and
that makes you want to win
that much more It kind of re-
minds me of (rivalry] games I
played in back in high school
It's twu schools close by each
other that just don't like each
other'
This might be the Chicago
native's first experience with
the Sunflower Showdown, but
it isn't his first time meeting
fellow Chicago prep-star Sher
ron Collins, a guard for the fay-
hawks
"We played a few times in
high school in park leagues, so
I know him and his game, but
our high schools never played,
so it's |ust a basketball relation-
ship," Pullen said.
Walker was in Manhattan
last year for all of Big 12 Con-
ference play, hut had to watch
the matchups against Kansas
from the bench after suffering
from an anterior cruciate liga-
ment tear after six games in his
first season
"I like playing in games
like this," Walker said "It's
what I signed up for It forc-
es you to da one of two things:
Either rise lo the occasion or
fall"
So much of Kansas' suc-
cess this season has come from
being able to determine how
the game is played, and these
two Wildcats are definitely
aware of this
"We have lo keep it close
all the way through, defensive-
ly play perfectly, help each oth-
er out on the glass, and just
make it into a track meet,"
Walker said.
On the same subject, Pul
len said Kansas' talent should
not affect the way the Wildcats
play.
"They're a really good bas-
ketball team, they have great
guard play, they do all the
things it takes lo win games,
but we can't let what they do
affect the way we execute." he
said "At the end of the game
we just have lo have one more
point than they do"
Anybody who cheers for
the Wildcats is familiar with
this rivalry, and the streak in
general and the players have
heard about the 24 -year win-
less drought in Manhattan
"This is a big time rivalry.
and we'll be up for it," Pullen
said. "People have been idling
us all aboul how we haven't
ever beat Kansas in Bramlage.
and that's definitely one thing
we want to accomplish this
season. People also said we'd
never gone into Colorado un-
defeated |tn Big 12 play] and
come out the same way We're
just trying to keep selling re
cords "
|an. 30, 2008, is certainly
shaping up to be one of - if not
the biggest - Sunflower Show
downs since 1988 when K-
Slale and KU matched up in the
Elite Eight round of the NCAA
Tournament Adding even
more drama lo the setting, is
that this is only the fourth time
in history thai both K-State and
KU have met while both were
undefeated in conference play,
with K- Stale going 2-1 in the
previous three meetings The
25 years since K State was able
to outlast Kansas at home has
hern anything but pleasant for
the purple faithful, but a win in
Manhattan tonight just might
help ease I heir suffering. A win
by K Slate in Bramlage Coli-
seum would certainly not be
anything short of monumental
for the young squad, first -year
head coach Frank Martin said.
"A lot of people in purple
have been dying to see a win
here, and us being able to the
first to do that would be huge,
not only for us but especially
for the fans" Walker said

Freshman forward Michael Baaslay raise; his hands after leading the Wildcats to an 84-75 victory over KU Wednesday. Beasley had 25 points and six
rebounds for K-State.
K-State ends 25-game losing streak to KU at home
By Wendy Maun
KANSAS STATE COLLEGIAN
Michael Beasley called it.
The freshman forward made the bold prediction in sum-
mer 2007: K State would be victorious in Bra ml age Colise-
um against Kansas for the first time in 25 years. Victorious the
Wildcats were, dismantling No 2 Kansas 84-75 Wednesday
"People act like there's only one basketball team in Kan-
sas," freshman forward Bill Walker said. "We just had a chance
to show that there isn't It was a big win. I just remember going
on those Calbacker lours and listening to those people in Gar-
den City, Kan , and all the olher places I went All they want-
ed was to beat KU After Mike promised the win, I felt like we
had nothing to lose"
Beasley fought the oppressive defense of KU's senior cen-
ter Sasha Kaun and battled his way to 25 points, including
four baskets from beyond the arc He was not ihe only K- State
player who scored at least 20 paints. He was joined by Walk-
er, who had 22 points, and freshman guard |acob Pullen, who
had 20 points
"K-Slate was a better team than we were tonight," said
Kansas coach Bill Self "You could say it was because of de-
fense or offense Obviously, they can play more than two ter-
rific players Pullen was excellent tonight"
The usual suspects were strong for the lay hawks Junior
guard Mario Chalmers had 19 points, junior guard Brandon
Rush had 15 and both sophomore forward Darrell Arthur and
sophomore guard Sherron Collins had 12. However, because
of the rowdy Bramlage crowd, Self said the KU guards weren't
as effective
"We will not play in an environment like this again this
year." he said. "There will be some other good ones we go to,
but this was fabulous I couldn't even hear Ihe whistle blow
Our guards probably didn't communicate as well as possible to
get everyone on the same page"
With the victory, K-State improves to 15-4 on the season

KANSAS STATE COLLEGIAN
A low roar could be heard
blocks away from Aggieville Wednes
day night Hundreds of K- State fans
rushed to the bars to begin celebrat-
ing immediately after the 84-75 vic-
tory against the University of Kan-
sas, braving the cold weather
Two men walking toward
the bars were discussing the cold
and one said "lager would make it
warm."
Yelling fans who already had a
head start on those who attended
the game packed the business dis-
trict.
One of those fans was confi-
dent that K-State would prevail be
fore the game started.
"I thought we'd be OK, as long
as we stay out of foul trouble," said
Jared St rath man, senior in criminol-
ogy. "1 waited 25 years, and it's fi
nally over; I've been waiting for this
since before 1 was born"
Strathman and a few of his
friends added in unison, "]ohn We-
fald, cancel class tomorrow because
we're not goin'!"
This message to our president
was accompanied by a random fan
climbing up a light pole to announce
to the world his feelings about KU.
Heavy drinking ensued while
many fans were still in awe at the
long-awaited win.
"It was awesome. [Michael
Beasley] started off slow, but pret-
ty much had his way in the second
half," said Matt Whitney, junior in
marketing
He said he was going to get
drunk, and said that Wednesday
night was the best night of his life

Young voters were given
the chance to hear the plat-

didates at a forum in the K-l
State Student Union Court- j
yard on Tuesday afternoon i
Delta Sigma Theta Inc!
organized the event to ed-l
ucate the student body on
main issues of the presiden-
tial race and also the view-
points of the front-running
candidates
"(Delta Sigma Theta] fo-
cuses on political awareness
and involvement," said Juli
ann Todd, senior in kinesi-
ology. "We just figured that
since the election is coming
up it would be a good idea to
inform people about the can
didates"
George Weston, gradu-
ate student in sociology, and
Aaron Apel, senior in philos-
ophy, were joined on stage
by former Kansas Gov John
Carl in Weston is the current
president of the K- St ate Col-
lege Republicans and Apel is
the current president of the
K-State Young Democrats.
Weston supported the
platforms of Mitt Romney,
John McCain and Mike Huck

from the crowd regarding the
candidates' stances,
McCain has the best war
record of any of the Republi-
can candidates, Weston said,
and was a prisoner of the
Vietnam War for a large part

"During more than five
and half years as a [prisoner
of war), John McCain experi-
enced the worst assaults on
human dignity imaginable,"
Weston said

Police department incorporates
new missing child alert system
Student Senate to vote on fee increase
By Brand i Brum buck
KANSAS STATE COLLEGIAN
The Riley County Police
Department recently has
subscribed to a national or-
ganization that will assist in
its efforts to locate missing
persons.
"A Child is Missing"
works with law-enforcement
agencies all over the coun-
try, providing free assistance
in recovering missing indi-
viduals including children,
teens and the elderly The
nonprofit program is used
by about 3,000 law enforce-
ment agencies
When the RCPD takes
a missing persons report,
they can call ACIM and pro
vide the necessary informa-
tion about the individual
ACIM makes an automated
message containing the sup-
plied information, then cre-
ates a database of surround-
ing area phone numbers de-
pendent upon the location
where the person was last
seen The recorded message
is played to local residents
and businesses.
The program activates
in less than 10 minutes and
generates 1,000 phone calls
per minute, said ACIM
Founder Sherry Friedland-
er
ACIM continues work-
ing with the officer or de
partment until the person
has been found The pro-
gram is designed to help lo-
cate people who might tru-
ly be missing and because of
their age, mental or physical
condition, could be in dan-
ger if not quickly located
According to achildit-
missingorg, the organiza-
tion has a record of 315 sale
recoveries
There are certain cas-
es in which ACIM might
not be used, but Friedland-
er said because of the pm
gram's broader scope, it can
be used in instances when a
state's Amber Alert Program

Fans brave cold outside of Bramlage, hoping
to witness historic K-State-KU game
By Monk* Castro
KANSAS STATE COLLEGIAN
•K-S-U Wildcats" and
other chants were heard
through the day as freezing
fans waited in line for the
game to begin
Fans waited in below-
freezing temperatures in
hopes of witnessing the first
K- State victory against Uni-
versity of Kansas in Bra ul-
lage Coliseum.
Eric Zwygart, sopho-
more in computer science,
was dressed in a purple suit
to cheer on the Cats
"1 wear this suit for spe-
cial games; gotta support the
team - that's why I wore it
today," Zwygart said.
Zwygart, who was
among the many fans wait
ing outside Bramlage, said
he thought the team had
grown and had potential to
win.
"1 want to see the guys
play as a team," he said "If
we play like a team, we will
win"
Tired and cold fans
were surprised to see mem-
bers of the basketball team
come to show their support
to the fans by giving people
pizza at about 3 pm.
Megan Shippers, sopho-
more in biology, said having
the basketball team bring
pizza was a good way to gel
involved with the crowd, as
well as excite tin" fans.
"For the players to come
out was exciting." Schippers
said "It was a grade A expe
rience"
Schippers said she felt
confident in the team be
cause they are good and
have won big games.
"We will win, I have
confidence," Schippers said

their
home court It was seri-
ously one of the most em-
barrassing streaks in all
of sports.
But it does not matter
anymore, it's over Wild-
cat nation can move on.
K-State didn't just beat
an average KU team. The
Wildcats won convinc-
ingly against a Jayhawk
squad that many people
were calling the best KU
team in 20 years
There's no doubt this
K-State team is some-
' thing special. They didn't
just beat the No. 2 team
in the country, they made
it look fairly easy. The
Wildcats led for most
of the game and never
trailed by more than four
points
Hopefully, we will see
more of this K-State team
that we've been watching
during the Big 12 Confer-
ence season. It would be
a shame if the Wildcats
followed up one of the
biggest wins in K-State
«* history with a few losses
We don't want the bas-
ketball team to experi-
■yence the same down-
ward spiral that the foot-
ball team has had after
beating Texas the last two
. years.
No matter what
though, this is a great day
to be a Wildcat. Soak it
up K-State fans. You've
earned it. It's over.

Strapped down
Moderate claim is excuse to remain politically idle
In the 1964 presidential elec
tion. Republican candidate Bar-
ry Gold water said, "... Extremism
in the defense
of liberty is no
vice., modera-
tion in the pur-
suit of justice is
no virtue."
He was
right, though
the vast majuri
ty of Americans
believe the op-
posite. Accord-
ing to a 2007
study conduct-
ed by Harvard
University's Institute of Politics.
40 percent of college students de
fine themselves as being politically
moderate And in most places, this
is considered to be a good stance
Merriam-Webster Diction-
ary defines moderate as "keeping
JESSICA
HENSIEY
within reasonable or proper limits;
not extreme, excessive or intense"
This definition seems fair enough
and reasonably encompasses what
many Americans think about
themselves.
But the dictionary goes on to
describe moderate as being syn-
onymous with "mediocre" I find
this to hold the truer connotation
when discussing moderation in
politics.
The trouble with moderate
politics is that the focus becomes
appeasement of the majority rath-
er than the honest pursuit of ide-
als. Instead of attempting to make
changes for the betterment of our
nation, moderate politics strive to
maintain the status quo In oth-
er words, moderate politics lead to
mediocre social policy - and that
isn't good enough.
Too often, the minority opin-
ion is shunted to the side because
of the desire of the public to avoid
a debate Society shies away from
the political dog fight and instead
favors the middle-of-the-road
opinion that doesn't push any lim-
its. Social progress will never oc-
cur as long as everyone flocks to
the middle and stays well with-
in the proverbial box. For too long
now, social policy in the United
States has been at a standstill We
move neither forward nor back-
ward nor side to side, all in an ef-
fort to avoid making anyone un-
happy
Some of the greatest changes
in our nation's history have been
implemented by what would have
been considered extremist ideol-
ogies. The end of slavery, the civil
rights movement and women's suf-
frage never would have occurred
in a moderate political climate.
Great social progress, historical
ly, has been made only by the far
ends of the political spectrum. The
very founding of our nation was
based on the ideas of what would
today be considered the equivalent
of a terrorist group.
Today, the sentiment seems
to be that moderate politics will
bring the country together on is-
sues. Choose the middle road, and
political divisiveness will come to
an end. Unfortunately, political
and social progress will also come
to an end. If we agree to disagree
on everything, where exactly does
that leave us on issues like gay
rights Or abortion? The war in
Iraq? These are issues that require
solutions - solutions that only will
be found through fierce political
debate.

MARK
WAMPLER
The K-State Collegian
editorial on illegal immigra-
tion and disease by Brigitte
Brecheisen
on Sept
11,2007,
brought up
a much
needed re
minder
and dis-
cussion
of the ne-
cessity of
continual-
ly evolv-
ing and
engaged
thinking skills
It was refreshing to see
people who were, for the
most part, civilly engaging in
discussion about an impor-
tant issue like immigration.
It can be very frustrating to
see peers caring more about
the local drink specials than
issues involving real people
in real places As individu
als, we are usually ignorant
about issues that matter
As a nation, we don't
think anymore. The accessi
bilily of television and online
entertainment has wasted
our time and filled our minds
with non -engaging and most
ly worthless content, and it
shows in our priorities With
all the information stimuli
we receive every day, the im-
portant issues get lumped in
with the trivial, and we be-
come indifferent to it all We
become apathetic
Why become engaged
with my world and sur-
roundings when I can sit in
my apartment and press but-
tons on a 12-inch plastic
guitar? When we value the
wrong aspects, the quality
of our lives and those of our
neighbors are greatly affect-
ed.
For example, 1 found it
disappointing when a much
higher number of people
showed up to watch a foot-
ball game than went to hear
former president Bill Clinton
speak at Bramlage Coliseum
on important and relevant
issues of our times I find it
telling when Britney Spears'
performance al the Video
Music Awards gets more of
the population's attention
than General Petraeus' as-
sessment of the situation in
Iraq. I also find it ironic that
when our country is border-
ing on a major financial and
credit crisis, Heath Ledger
takes up most of the media's
time
In her May 29, 2006, ar
tide in The Scotsman. Jac-
qui Goddard wrote. "Ronald
Reagan set a record when he
received 54 5 million votes
to claim the United States
presidency in 1984. In 2004,
George Bush broke it with
nearly 62 million under his
belt
"But in a new indicator
of just how seriously Amer-
ica takes its elections - or,
perhaps, how seriously it
takes the post of president
- a gray-haired soul singer
from Alabama has eclipsed
both by scooping an unprec-
edented 63.4 million votes
to claim a far loftier title: the
new American Idol "
Another indicator of
America's lost priorities is
the lack of interest in books
I always have to shake my
head when I hear people
say, "Oh. I don't read," like
that is acceptable behavior
According to an As-
sociated Press survey last
month, one in every four
Americans did not read a
single book in 2006 In a
2004 report called "Reading
at Risk," a survey by the Na-
tional Endowment for the
Arts reported only 57 per-
cent of American adults had
read a book in 2002, a drop
in 4 percentage points since
the 1990s The study faulted
TV, movies and the Internet
We like our informa-
tion to be quick and instan-
taneous Media do not like
books that require a substan-
tial amount of time to read
and understand they are not
popular in this age of fast
food and three-and-a-half
minute Top 40 singles. Im-
portant subjects thai define
our world like poverty and
immigration cannot be rel-
egated to a 30- second news
clip
"When the story of these
times gets written, we want
it to say that we did all we
could, and it was more than
anyone could have imag-
ined," said Bono, lead singer
of rock band U2.
We have the resourc-
es and ability to greatly en
able ourselves and our global
neighbors to live better and
happier lives. We just need to
take the time to care about
the issues of our world and
then step out and do some
thing about them.

Dynamic duo
LEFT Pam Beihl and Brtt Heitman first met more than
10 years ago at church choir rehearsal. After playing
together in two other bands, the women formed
Fashionably Late.
Above: Heiiman and Beihl. also known as Fashionably

Bottom: Fashionably Late works through a set in
November 2007 at Kirby's Beer Store in Wichita. Since
forming, the folk-pop duo has performed at bars, coffee

Mae's Parlor in Aggieville.
Folk pop pair releases 3rd album, continues local shows
By Adrianne DeWeese
KANSAS STATE COLLEUAN
Pam Beihl and Bree Heiiman have
known each other more than 10 years, but re-
cently the word "finally" took a new meaning
in their lives.
Beihl and Heitman. also known as Fash-
ionably Lale, released their third full length
album "Finally" in fall 2007 through Arnold
Sound. As it suggests, the album's name rep-
resents a 12 -track product that took a long
time for completion, Heitman said
Fashionably Late, a folk -pop duo, fea-
tures songwriter Beihl on lead vocals and
acoustic guitar with Heitman on piano and
backup vocals
"It's an easier sound, but it's original"
Heiiman said. "I'm classically trained, so
there's definitely that element on the piano.'
Beihl and Heitman first met at their
church's choir rehearsal and formed their
first hand Beihl and Hedman, which was
Heilinan's maiden name The pair teamed up
with a drummer and bassist to form The Big
Idea in 2001. After The Big Idea broke up, the
women got back together and formed Fash
ionably Late
Fashionably Late has performed at bars,
coffee shops, street comers, living rooms,
backyards and lakeside, but as its MySpace
page declares: "Fashionably Late plays local-
ly, drinks globally''
A two person band does limit and chal-
lenge its musical capabilities, Heitman said
She said Fashionably Late often opens for
other bands "because people usually like to
rock out a little bit more at the end of the eve-
ning."
"With the two of you, it's more stripped
dawn," Heitman said "We like to slick with
the acoustic sound, and the nice part about
thai is that it's simple. It's more unique thai
your four-piece and five piece bands out
there"
Heitman said most musicians who per
form with Fashionably Late typically 1 support
its sound because Beihl and Heitman perform
strongly on their instruments
"Musically, I think our message is us-
ing a lot of different chord progressions -
we're into complexity," Heitman said "Mes-
sage wise, we try to involve the audience.
In between, we try to kid around about stuff
that's happened to us and try to get people to
laugh"
Both women emphasized the importance
of making a connection with audience mem-
bers during live performances Beihl said colt
lege is a time in peoples' lives when they
learn about life experiences and situations
they would not think about elsewhere. Fash-
ionably Late's music relates with college stu-
dents in its differences among today's other
musical performers, she said
"I think our stuff isn't necessarily run
of the mill." Beihl said "It doesn't sound like
anything you're going to hear on the radio,
I'd like to think it's a little more thoughtful. I
think that's something to offer them"
"Moonshooter" is Heilman's Fashionably
Lale personal favorite song because it talks
about reaching farther than a person ever
dreamed possible The song was recorded in
All Faiths Chapel on a Steinway piano and
features only Beihl on vocals.
'For me, college was about reaching out
far, and we all need someone to tell us we can
be whatever we want to be." Heitman said.
With Beihl soon moving to Kansas City,
Kan , and Heitman living in Tonganoxie,
Kan., Heiiman said Fashionably Late aims to
expand its performances to Lawrence and the
greater- Kansas-City area.
However, Manhattan still is considered
home, Heitman said, and Fashionably Late's
Aggieville performances will continue despite
the move.
"It'd be great someday if we could con-
tinue to play and break into a fan base, but I
think we're more realistic than that," Heitman
said with a laugh about the group's future
"It's a great balance with our work lives."

Lying can be best way to keep conversations interesting, alive
How do you keep a conversation go-

Lie Lie your ass off Lie till it

Actually it all
depends on who
you're conversing
with Is this some-
one you're inler-

stranger even, and

we're talking to people, we hear a sin
ry from them or a thought, and we
immediately begin replaying through
our head a similar occurrence in our
own lives, and we bell it out the first
chance we get.
What you have to realize is the
person talking to us isn't trying in
open up a particular genre of life ex-
periences for us all to relate to and
expound Bather, they're telling us
something about themselves, some
thing they want us to know about
them, something that holds meaning
in their life
Turn your brain off for u while
and take everything in. Though it you
really do like this person, it should
come naturally
Co-workers are a different story
They're a trip. No matter what hap-

football coaches across the
country, and K-State could

classes I have seen. At least

tere of intent Feb. 6, accord-
ing to GoPowercat.com
The recruiting business
is somewhat of a gamble, you
either do well, or you don't
I have seen everything from
amazing stories like former
K-State running back Dar
ren Sproles to huge busts like
Marvin Simmons.
In fact, Sproles was so
underrated in the recruiting
process that KL' told him he
was too small He certain-
ly showed them they made a
poor choice after he watched
quarterback Ell Roberson run
for a long touchdown in the
spring game and committed
on the spot lo K-State Spro-
les only went on to be the all-
time Big 12 Conference lead-
er, as well as No. 6 on the
NCAA career list, with 6,812
all-purpose yards
As for Simmons, well, he
didn't do much of anything
except fall asleep on the floor
in the World Regional Geog-
raphy class 1 had with him.
A lot of people who
watched the Wildcats strug-
gle to a 5-7 record in 2007
blame it on the new 3-4 de-
fensive scheme The change
was for the best, but every-
one needs to understand the
Wildcats didn't have all the
right pieces in the system to
be successful, 1 believe this
year's class will bring out the
defensive results fans have
been wanting.
One of the most impor-
tant positions in a 3-4 de-
fense is the nose tackle. This
player is in the middle of a
three man front line and is
in charge of taking up space.
The Wildcats were relative-
ly small at this position last
year and have looked to the
junior -college ranks for much
needed help
Pootball recruits are la
beled with stars by recruiting
sites to represent prospec-
tive talent levels. The least
amount of stars is one and
the most is five. The Wildcats
have three potential immedi
ate contributors next season
in this recruiting class
Four-star defensive tack-
le Daniel Calvin commit

ing a campus visit and watch-

tackle Tony Gillespie from
Jenks, Okla , and junior-col-
lege transfer |ohn Finau. a
tackle from Torrance, Calif ,
will also add much needed
depth to a position that is so
crucial to this scheme's suc-
cess. If anything, these de-
fensive line recruits are a big
step in the right direction.
Of course, teams need
more than one player to be
successful. II is obvious the
team needs to fill some gap-
ing holes, and 1 believe this
recruiting class has the pieces
to get the Wildcats to where
they need to be next season.

K-State's upset shows them as Big 12 contender
By Joel Jtlllson
KANSAS STATE COLLEGIAN
K State freshman for-
ward Michael Beasley often
refers lo his team's achieve-
ments as stepping stones
in the growth of the young
learn.
Wednesday's 84-75 up-
set of No. 2 Kansas might
have been the biggest step
the No. 22 Wildcats have
made all season long
"Every win is a step-
ping stone, a learning point
for us freshman," Beasley
said. "We are obviously a
young team, but we have
good wins under our belt.
We just knocked off a Fi-
nal-Four caliber team, lis a
learning point "
While Beasley and
freshman fur ward Bit) Walk-
er put in their typical con-
tributions, it was freshman
guard Jacob Pullen who put
in the show -stealing per-
formance of the night wilh
20 points and a 10- for 10
game at the free -throw line
Pullen not only showed
his individual maturity, but
along wilh senior guards
Clent Stewart and Blake
Young, he displayed K-
S tate's guard could play
with anyone.
"I'm tired of people
calling our guards raggedy,"
K-Slate coach Frank Martin
said "Our guards stepped
up and they played like men
today I've gut nine first-year
guys thai have grown up a
hell of a whole lot since No
vember"
The performance from
Pullen was no surprise to
Martin, who pointed out his
freshman guard is toward
the top of the Big 12. Con-
ference in assist to turnover

"He has been doing il
for two months." he said
"Today, because their bigs
have lo gel out of the lane.
it opened up some drib-
ble drives for us. and Jacob
played like a true champ "
The importance of Pul-
len's performance was ex
pressed by his teammates
after the game, including
Walker who said the guard
plays the toughest position
on the court
"I always tell [Pullen |
his position is the hard-
est on the court, he has to
know what everyone is do-
ing," he said. "1 jusl told him
to 'gel out there and forget
the mistakes and just play.'
and he came up big"
Complimenting Pullen
was an effort from fresh
man forward Dominique
Sulton who made ihc first
start of his career and fin-
ished tied for the team lead
in rebounding with Beasley
at six
Walker said the perfor-
mance tonight was an exam-
ple of how far this team has
come in ils overall growth.
"It's just guys getting
used to playing against ma-
jor competition," he said.
"It's going to take a while
for young guys to prepare
for that, going hard every
day and taking care of little
things, and I think we are
starting lo do that"

team that regularly qualifies

K-State past
Nebraska

LINCOLN, Neb. -
K State is feeling right at
home on the road these days.
The 1 8th -ranked Wild-
cats ended another oppo-
nent's long home winning
streak Wednesday night, over-
coming their coach's ejection
and Mariies Gipson's foul
trouble to beat Nebraska 77-
75 on Ashley Sweal's baseline
drive with 7 seconds left
K-State (15-5, 7-0) has
won 10 straight after a 5-5
start and remains tied with
Baylor for the Big 12 lead
Five of the 10 wins have
come on the road The Wild-
cats ended Texas A&M's 26-
game home win streak and
12 -game home streaks be-
longing to Oklahoma Slate
and Nebraska (15-6. 4-3)
"For this learn, we can
get diiwn. we can be up. the
crowd can be yelling at us But
we always find a way to come
through and get a win," said
Kimberly Dieti, who scored
a season-high 26 points and
hit a big 3-pointer in the final
minute.
After Kelsey Griffins put-
back for Nebraska had tied it
at 75 with 366 seconds left,
the Wildcats set up for the fi-
nal shot.
Sweat took the ball along
the baseline and dribbled
right around Danielle Page to
the basket for an easy layin
with one second showing on
the shot clock.
Page tried to swipe at
Sweat's shot bul missed
"I wasn't really as close
as I needed to be," Page said
"1 shouldn't have let her beat
me off the drive"
K-State coach Deb Pat-
terson said Sweat showed
great composure to work her
way past Page
"It was an individual not
conceding," Patterson said
"It was a tough play. A lot of
players would have given up
on the ball-side block. She
continued to the reverse and
finished that play."
Nebraska had two good
looks at the basket in the final
seconds, but Yvonne Turn-
er missed a driving layup and
Griffin couldn't get a putback
to fall.
"'Vonnie' took it and
made a strong move lo the
basket, and I went back up
with it, and it happened to
rim out on me," Griffin said
"I could have focused belter
on the basket probably, but
my adrenaline got going. 1 jusl

FACULTY FEATURE
Ag econ teacher draws off energy from students
By Kristin Hodges
KANSAS STATE COLLEGIAN
Ted Schroeder would
tell you he is an average farm
boy with nothing more to say.
Looking at his ordinary white-
walled office and the stacks of
textbooks along his walls, one
might believe him at first.
However, the few person-
al items tucked away in the
comers of the room - a fami-
ly photo, scenic pictures of the
acreage he lives on, a Nebras
ka Huskers painted rock and a
pair of running shoes - suggest
there's more to this professor.
Schroeder. university dis-
tinguished professor of agricul-
tural economics, has been at
K-State for 20 years and teach
es as many as three to four
classes a year in the agricultur-
al economics department.
"I think at the end of (he
day it's been a fun ride," he
said "The environment is very
energetic and very supportive
It's a place where 1 feel I can
accomplish the things I want to
do"
Schroeder grew up on a
family farm in Nebraska and
places his family at the top of
his list of interests and activi-
ties. Though he said he spends
much of his time in the office,
he said he likes to be outside
running or working
"Most of my life is spent
reading and thinking, but my
stronger preference is being ac-
tive" he said.
At K State, Schroeder said
he spends 85 percent of his
time conducting research and
managing projects in the live-
stock and cattle market It's the
other 15 percent when he is in
front of a classroom leaching
that he said keeps him going
"The education of people
and especially students is the
most enjoyable thing I do," he
said "It's one of the longest
lasting, influential contribu-
tions you'll ever make
"It's getting to know the
students, understanding their
challenges, aspirations and
then seeing them do things they
didn't think they could do"
Teaching students isn't al-
ways something Schroeder
wanted to do In fact, he didn't
have any intentions of teaching
at all until in his final years in
graduate school
Besides not knowing what
he wanted to do professionally.
he said public speaking makes
him nervous.
"My nature i» I'm a farm
boy," he said. "I'm very accus-
tomed to being in the field by
myself. People scare me. I'm
anxious when I get up in front
of people
"It's something I have to
deal with - it's adrenaline flow
The day that I don't walk into
the classroom with a bit of in-
ternal anxiety is the day I'll quit
teaching, and I'll know I'll have
lost the zeal."
Schroeder laughed, re-
membering the first time he
had to get up in front of 250
students to teach while he was
in graduate school.
"I was petrified.'' he said
"I was afraid 1 was going to tell
them everything 1 knew for (he
entire semester in the firsl lec-
ture. ... what do you teach the
rest of the weeks?"
Schroeder said the energy
he gets from his students makes
him enjoy his job and look for-
ward to coming to work each
day
"It's so contagious," he
said. "You know, I'm an old
guy now, and 1 still feel very vi
brant"
Schroeder said he doesn't
consider himself a typical ac-
ademic because he has never
had a dream to be a teacher,
researcher or professor He just
always looks for the most ex-
citing path to follow and "runs
hard for a while."
"At the end of the day what
I'm trying to do is be a valued
faculty member in this - first

Continued (rwtipjqf 1
and his lifelong dedication (o
public service are what make
him a good candidate for the
presidency
Apel gave the positions of
Hillary Clinton. B a rack Obama
and John Ed wards and also an-
swered questions.
Ape! said all the front run
ning Democratic candidates
want to immediately reduce
troop levels in Iraq, but all have
different strategies of what lo
do after the levels are reduced
Carlin, who was gover
nor of Kansas from 1979-1987,
urged all college students to be-
come more active, especially in
the upcoming election
"If the younger genera
tion does not become a force in
the political process, generally
speaking. | politicians | will con-
tinue to put off addressing the
massive issues that require a lot
of risk and long term [work] to
gel accomplished." Carlin said
"I can assure you that the
politicians and the candidates
will turn on a dime when you
become a force in the elector-
ate As long as you are the part
of the electorate that partici-
pated the least, you're not go-
ing to be a force"
The event's organizers
were pleased to see Carlin talk
with students and not at them
"I was really surprised at
how well John Carlin spoke
and how he made it relevant
to us," said Carmen Richard-
son, junior in agriculture busi-
ness and member of Delta Sig-
ma Theta
Overall, members from
Delta Sigma Theta were
pleased with the way students
responded to the idea of the fo-
rum. Todd said

By Sarah Bur ford
KANSAS STATE COLLEGIAN
This is the third article
in a five-week series ex
amining the voting be
havior of different groups
within society and their
effects on the 2008 pres-
idential election. In the
next few weeks, the Col-
legian will examine the
electoral effects of the
military and religious
communities nationally
and locally in that order.
Young black voters
across the country, and
specifically at K-State, are
concerned about issues
like the cost of higher ed-
ucation, the U.S. econo-
my, and criminal justice >
to name a few.
Amber Foust, se-
nior in management in-
formation systems and
president of the histori
rally black sorority Del
ta Sigma Thcla Inc , said
she is worried about
the country's economic
slate. Since she is grad
uating soon, she said she
wants to know what her
job prospects will be. She
said she needs to know if
she will be able to sup-
port herself after college
"As a young, black fe-
male in Kansas, I'm look-
ing for the economy to get
a pick-up," Foust said.
Diallo Brooks, mem
ber of the National Coali-
tion on Black Civic Par-
ticipation, is co-chair for
the coalition's program.
"Black Youth Vote"
Brooks said the purpose
of the Black Youth Vote
campaign is to engage
young people in the elee
tion process by address-
ing pertinent issues He
said the opportunity for
young, black voters to
find jobs depends on how
the potential recession af
feels the black communi
ly, specifically in hous-
llrj
"Young people want
to know they have a fair
opportunity for jobs,
training, and everything
that goes along with that,"
Brooks said
Mark Nelson, se-
nior in social scienc-
es and former chair for
the political action com-
mittee for Black Student
Union, said in addition
lo the housing market, he
is most concerned about
what politicians will do
lo help US international
relations and the value of
the American dollar
"These are things
that not just black vot-
ers, but all voters, need to
be looking at right now,"
Nelson said.
Brooks said edu-
cation costs are one of
the biggest concerns

Professors, residents discuss legacy of influential author
By Sarah Bur ford
KANSAS CMS COLLEGIAN
Han Yu and Naomi
Wood. K-Staic English pro-
fessors, led a discussion last
night at the Manhattan Public
Library about how Jane Aus-
ten's books appeal to people
from various cultures.
"One thing people like lo
say about Austen is that she's
universal," Wood, an associ-
ate professor, said.
The discussion was part
of the "Jane Austen Festi-
val." which started on Jan 29
and will end on Feb. 2 al the
Manhattan Public Library A
"Brown Bag Book Discus-
sion" on Pride and Prejudice
opened the week's events.
The library will show the films
"Pride and Prejudice" (2006)
and "Bride and Prejudice''
(2004), a Bollywood musical
adaptation of the novel, start-
ing al 1 p.m. Saturday Tea
and scones will be served dur-
ing the showings
Yu, an assistant professor,
and Wood opened the Aus-
ten discussion by describing
the first lime (hey read one
of Austen's novels and what
they liked about her writing
Yu, who came from Chi-
na, said she owes it to Austen
for getting her involved with
English communication and
rhetoric.
"It was Austen who real-
ly got me interested in learn
ing the English language," Yu
said
She said she liked the
way Austen portrayed the
characters in her books, espe-
cially the heroines.
Wood discovered Austen
in a different way. She said
she got tired of reading books
"about boys having teenage
crises'" in high school So she
tried reading Austen's novels.
"A light went on and I
thought, At last! Classic liter
aiure I like'," Wood said
She said she loved the
the romance, the delicacy of

Discussion participants share their love for the writer Jane Austen. Austen has written several books such
as "Sense and Senseability'and "Pride and Prejudice"
the novels and how Austen
showed humor through satire.
Wood said she liked the prob-
lems presented about inde-
pendence in Austen's books:

ISP then looks into the find-
ings and has (he choice l*i
notify the students t e e m ed
of illegal file shariiiK so iIk'v
can remove the illegal docu
men Is.
Richard Seaton, univer
sity attorney, said tile univer
sity dues not have to forward
the letter lo llie students be
cause it is only a request by
the R1AA To get access to
the students' computer file*,
the K1AA would need a valid
subpoena
Though sonic universi-
ties complied with the RIAA
requests iume universities
reportedly refused the re
quests, saying thai it was
not their job lo release Ihe
students" personal Informa-
tion Seaton said he nnpecta
K- St ale would do the latter
"We'd probably try lo
protect Ihe privacy Of the
students,' Seaton said.
Tov.tiM.iul b.iid IT has
not received letters from the
KIA.V bill H has received let-
lers from oilier OTganiMtiOfll

said he received five Ii
mentioning illegal BCtivttJ
on the K suite Internet ien
H 1 a st fall
[hough K Stale IT must
legally itivcstt. I in
stances when companies no-
li u them, Townsend said IT
does not independently in-
vestigate illegal Isle sharing
Ue don't go hunting lor
file-sharers," he said
According to the K- Slate
IT policy, it is prohibit-
ed for K- St ale Internet us
ers to use or even download
file sharing, or peer to- peer,
programs like Napster and
l.iincwirc
Ihe policy statement
states that these programs
severely restrict Ihe Inter-
nel connection and anyone
caught using Ihese programs
is subject lo sanctions from
the service provider
"We had tremendous
problems with people us-
ing Napster around 2000"
Townsend said The Inter
oei in the dorms was use-
less"
THE LEGAL ISSUES
Students break the
copyright law when they ei-
ther lake or make a copj
of a song or other hie like a
in i. v it- without paying fur il,
said Todd Simon, professor
of journalism and mass com
munieatioiis
Simon said people do
IKH break the law if they rip
Iracks they have bought on
their computer since they
have already paid lor that
music, but il they give a copy
lo a fnend, that friend did
not pay lor thai music . and
both are breaking the law
Simon Mid the RIAA
lawsuits are a scare laciie
that works el tit lively. Si-
mon said only one student
WRO has been targeted by
Ihe RIAA has not taken the
deal
Simon said the student
lost the CAM and owed I lie
RIAA mow thui S200.000
Ihe trial was taken lo an ap
i't and is still pend-
ing
Because ol the law
suits minimal effect on file
sharing, Simon said the re-
cording industry might have
to change who it goes af-
ter and bow it sells its prod
uct He said organizations
thai protect copyrights, like
the RIAA, could go after the
ISPs that allow users to il-
legally share files instead of
going after individuals.
Big conglomerates go-
ing after the little guys never
looks good anyway." he said.
Simon also said the re-
cording industry will have to
find ways lo reduce the cost
of music if it wants to stem
illegal downloading and file
sharing.
Simon said the market
price of a song is tradition
ally about $1, but should go
down.
"There's no manufactur-
ing There's no cost for ship-
ping the album or making
the ease sleeve." Simon said
"There's no reason that buy
ing a song on i Tunes should
cost that much "
On its Web site, the
RIAA promotes Ihe use of
digital download programs
like Ruckus, which are sup-
ported by advertisements
and provide access tu free
and legal downloads.
A representative from
the KIAA said with new
technology, there is no rea-
son lor students lo risk get-
ting caught by the recording
industry of Iheir university
and paying thousands of dol-
lars for breaking the law.
Lydia Peele, student
body vice president and se-
nior in math education, said
she hopes lo somehow alert
the student body about ihe
RIAA's actions against col-
lege students.
Looking at what's hap
pening to other schools in
the Big 12, ih -i i s a lot ot st u
dents," Peele said "... Stu-
dents need to be aware of
the consequences of their at
lions."

KANSAS SUI HOI I KilAN
Student Senate added a
commendation to the agen-
da at the beginning of last
night's meeting. The resolu-
tion commended the 2007
2008 K Stale men's basketball
team for ending "the streak"
and defeating the Universi-
ty of Kansas at Bramlage Col
iseum for the first time in 25
years
Student Body Vice Pres-
ident Lydia Peele asked that
a copy of the commendation
be sent to KU's student body
president and vice president,
and they were added to the
list of recipients The legisla-
tion was held for referral un-
til next week
Senators approved a res-
olution in honor of former
student body president Kyle
Barker last night. Instead of
the usual applause, senators
paused for a moment of si-
lence in Barker's memory
Student Senate also unan-
imously resolved to support
the K State PROUD campaign
for their success and service.
Kansas support for
K Stale has dee lined to less
than 25 percent of the univer
sity's annual budget, accord
ing to a K State PROUD pain
phlet Student participation
and donations could help (his

Student Senate also re-
solved to commend the Saf-
cRide program fur attaining
its 100,000th passenger late
next week

culture education, said the
100.000th passenger will re

KANSAS STATE COLLEGIAN
FRIDAY, FEBRUARY 1, 2008
Black enough
Obama's actions could
improve racial equality
MARQUIS
CLARK
Christina Klein |i HI I H.IAN
On Feb 1, 2007, Time
com featured a column writ-
ten by Ta -Nehisi Paul Cuates
who won
dered if Ba-
rack Ob a ma
was "black
enough"
for African-
Americans
A year later,
the debate
continues in
some quar-
ters, but we
all must cer-
tainly agree
he is black
enough to have been a slave in
South Carolina 150 years ago
and black enough to not have
voting rights 60 years ago
The reality of these Itstl
incuts makes his win in the
aforementioned Palmet-
to State all the more sur-
prising.
Before 1 continue, 1
must admit lo a life-
long American South
bias; the Kwanzaas of
"Eyes on the Prize"
and "Roots" marathons
left an indelible im-
pression However, exit
poll data from CBS con-
firms my long- held belief in
strung racial and generational
divides in the region It report-
ed 78 percent of white women
and 73 percent of white men
voted against Obama in South
Carolina 84 percent of non-
bhek voters over age 60 voted
against him as well
On first glance, this data
seems to support my preju-
dice However, there is reason
to believe a colleague's recent
passionate claim of a post-
Strom Thurmond South is not
entirely misplaced
The same data set showed
Obama won wttit huge mar-
gins with white voters ages
18-29 and overall with vot-
ers ages 18-44, He won with
the rich and the poor, the ed-
ucated and the non-educat-
ed, the religious and their non-
practicing counterparts, and
of course, the overall prima-
ry landed somewhat in his fa-
vor. Perhaps most telling, he
received more total votes, by a
margin of more than 100,000,
in the state of South Carolina,
than did his Democratic and
Republican rivals
This could mean Sen-
ator I ue Biden's surprise at
Obama's cleanliness and ar-
ticulation and Bill O'Reilly's
shock at black public civility
might soon become outdated.
The numbers from the South
Carolina primary could signi-
fy the real difference between
|esse Jackson's wins in this
primary in 1984 and 1988 and
Obama's triumph in 2008
Though this win is tem-
pered by the knowledge that
South Carolina's electoral
votes have gone the way of the
Republican candidate in past
elections, we cynical Yanks
should at least take notice of a
changing Southern wind.

to believe we are at the end

equality, I know we are sever-

take shape in the oratory of a

this election might give us an
opportunity to re-evaluate our

the Collegian's
official Opinion,
TO THE POINT
Students
should pay
small fee
for music
The recording indus-
try has targeted college
students who are ille-
gally
down- TOTHI POINT is an
i„,^;„r, editorial selected
loading and debated by
music, the editorial board
and * n ^ wrltten dfter
K-State a m ajorlty opinion
stu-
dents
might
be at risk.
Though organizations
like the Recording In-
dustry Association of
America mostly look
at users on a university
Internet server, which
would apply to students
in residence halls and
greek houses, all stu-
dents are still suscepti-
ble to lawsuits for ille-
gal file sharing.
It's less than a dollar
for a song on the Inter-
net; it just makes sense
to spend a little extra
rather than spending
thousands of dollars for
breaking the law.
Students can even
download programs off
the Internet that give
them access to free, le-
gal downloads. The
programs are funded
completely by adver-
tisements, so payment
for the songs is just the
occasional intrusive ad,
College students usu-
ally don't have much
money, but if most can
afford a $300 iPod,
they should be able to
pay a little extra for the
songs on their iPods.
It's just laziness at
this point; many songtv
are legally available
at little or no cost, so —
there's no excuse
It's either buy a
handful of songs at
the cost of a lunch at
the K- State Student
Union, or risk owing
the recording indus-
try as much as $750 per
illegally-downloaded
song.
One song could cost
one dollar or $750; it'*
your choice.

K-State women share love of tap with community, campus performances
By David Griffin Jr.
KANSAS STATE COLLEGIAN
Bunts of laughter and
sharp taps traveled through
Nichols Hall on Sunday after-
noon.
The young women partic-
ipating in K-State Tap Ensem-
ble, a team of passionate fe-
male tap dancers, expressed
emotions of excitement and
energy during their third prac-
tice of the semester
Director [ulie Pentz, as-
sistant professor in dance, also
shared this excitement and en-
ergy
"The inspiration for this
new KSU tap dance ensem
ble is really just a love for tap,"
Pentz said.
Twelve women are active
ly involved in the team, and
only four of them are dance
majors. The nonmajors joined
the ensemble for enjoyment -
their majors range from me-
chanical engineering to kinesi-
ology Most of the team mem
bers have tap danced since
they were children, though.
"It's really fun to make
music with your feet," said
Mindy Von EUing. sophomore
in public relations, "It's real-
ly different from other types of
dance."
I cart hit out forms
for tap -a-grams at www.
ksu.tdu/aonct/top.html.
The team Is asking for i $ 10
donation for these tap-a-
grams The donation will go
towards the Kansas State
University Foundation/
DANCE.
The K-State Tap Ensem-
ble is committed to sharing
tap dance with the local com
m unity and regionally through
performance and lecture dem
o nitrations
The tap dances will pres-
ent a variety of genres includ-
ing traditional lap, rhythm tap
and a collaboration with the
K-State Latin |azz Ensemble
"I think the most exciting
thing is for the campus com-
munity and the local commu-
nity to find out that KSU has
strong tap," Pent* said
The ensemble's perfor-
mances also include audi-
ence participation, said Jenni-
fer Grantman, senior in social
science and mass communica-
tions
"We have stuff that in-
volves audience participation
so the audience can learn a
few tap moves that [profes-
sional tap dancers) doing all
over the nation," Grantman
said.
Along with campus per-
formances, the tap team pri-
marily does performances in
the local community
The K State Tap Ensem-
ble does not charge a fee for
its performances, but they do
ask for donations made to the
Kansas State University Foun-
dation/ DANCE
These funds are used for
K-State Dance Scholarships
"Having the opportuni-
ty to be a traveling compa
ny working with performance
gives me a professional back-
ground," said Monette McK-
eeman, graduate student in
dance.
The women enjoy going
out and showing people some-
thing they might not have ex-
perienced otherwise
"The exciting fact is that
we're going to be able to go
out and reach all the other stu-
dents and let them know that
KSU dance is here, because
it's not real prominent at the
university, so I'm really excit-
ed about that," said Cali Dun-
ham, senior in kinesiology
Community and campus
performances arc not the only
activities these tappers take

part in; they also offer tap-a- value
grams, tapping telegrams The
team asks for a $10 donation
for lap-a grams They can be
done for occasions like Valen-
tine's Day, birthdays and anni-
versaries or for entertainment
The team's first perfor-
mance is Feb 12 at a commu-
nity luncheon.
The campus performanc-
es wilt begin April 4 and the
last will be April 30, at events
like KSU Dance Day, Spring
Dance, World Dance Day and
Dance Student Spotlight
"I'm really excited about
the ensemble,'' PenU said "I
hope that more people can
come watch us perform "
Concert raises awareness of Obama presidential bid, upcoming caucus
By Deborah Muhwezi
KANSAS STATE COLLEGIAN
" Barack'n'Koll." an event to
educate students about the up-
coming Democratic presiden
tial caucus on Feb .5, promoted
students to support Sen Barack
Obama in his bid for president
The event was at Kile's Bar
and Grille in Aggieville Thurs-
day night, complete with a live
band, Lucia Drive, and the Cali
forma Democratic Debate play-
ing on aTV screen while K-State
Students for Obama used their
platform to encourage students
to vote.
"We feel like he is the
best democratic candidate
that's there for us.' said Lauren
Rohrer, representative for Stu
dents for Obama and senior in
music theater 'Students' vole
matters and it has in the past
primaries -as we've seen in Iowa
and South Carolina - we want
to duplicate that success here in
Kansas."
Rohrer said other Obama
supporters have been going
events like these all over the
country and their organization
wanted to have more of a social
get together in order to "have
a good time while supporting
Sen Obama," she said.
Matt McCann. graduate
student in theater and lead gui-
tarist and back-up vocals for
Lucia Drive, said he was disap-
pointed with the turnout. There
were tisc K State student* in at-
tendance, but he said many peo-
ple might have been at home
watching the debate. McCann
said he still enjoyed perform-
ing for an event that supported
Obama.
"Anything that you can
do for a cause that you enjoy -
I think that generates passion
|It| generates some type of ex-
citement about whatever you're
passionate about is good," Mc
Cannsaid,
The event attracted a mixed
crowd, including Brett Bucholz,
graduate student in counseling
and student development
"I think, especially in Kan-
sas, where there may not be very
many Democrats, they'll see
that there are others and that
their vote may actually count
because they can see that there
is actually a number of them,"
he said.
Bucholz said the impor-
tance of voting depends on
the demographics of the state
Though people in other areas
might say voting isn't impor-
tant, Bucholz said people are
beginning to realize its impor
lance, especially this election.
The Democratic cau-
cus is at 7 p.m Tuesday in the
K-State Student Union Ball-
room. Rohrer, with Students
for Obama, encouraged those
who like Obama to come to the
caucus and show their support.
She said it's great that there ore
those who like Sen Obama,
but there's a difference between
that and actually showing up to
the caucus
"We want people to match
that like and that meaning to-
ward Obama to showing up and
actually caucusing," she said.

Wildcats look to improve at 1st dual of season
By Tyler Sharp
KANSAS MATH OL I HilAN
Business as usual is the ap-
proach the K Stale tennis team is
taking into its first home match
ol the year The Wildcats play the
Syracuse Orange at 10 am Satur-
day in Aheam Fit-Id House.
Coach Steve Bietau said he
does not know what to expect
I rum the Orange on the tennis
court.
"We really don't know much
about Syracuse,'' Bietau said "We
don'l get to the East much, and
they don't get out here very often
We connected wrtth them as part
<it a trip lot unit' uut hen ill id play
Missouri and were going into Ihis
one with a pretty opeti book."
The Orange are led by junior
Maria Vasilyeva and sophomore

ilyt'va was limited to doubles ac-
tion in the full season and post-
ed a 4-2 record Since beginning
the spring season, in which the
Orange have played two team
matches, slit, has started doubles
play with a 2-0 record and also
boasls a 2 record in singles ac-
tion
Junes also has been in action
a considerable amount this sea-
son, posting a 7 4 record in sin
gles matches and » 4-8 mark in
doubles play The squad's youth

considerable pitying time
K St ale junior Katerina Kud
lackova said she sees some ad-
vantages in lacing a young team
■ I think, suite we art plaj
ing at home, thai is the first ad
v nitage for us," Kudlackova said
"1 think they're going to be kind
of freaking out when they see this
high ceiling and this different sur-
face"
The Wildcats have not played
a dual match during the 2007-08
season. During the Georgia In
vitalional, the Wildcats showed
progress from the tournament's
first day to the end against GtOf
gia, Troy and Mississippi State
Though Bietau said after the nuei
I here was still work to be done.
Ihe preparation will not differ too
much from earlier in the season
It's juslaconlinuatimi ol our

we've been conditioning pret-
ty hard, trying to get their §W
clear in their head, both for sin
gles and doubles. We've been nar-
rowing down some possibilities
In dottbtej Uains and looking at
different singles line-ups."
The doubles line-ups might be
closer to being resolved than pre
u«ai>ly thought. The strong per
fomtineM Dfl the last day of the
Georgia tournament came from
the pairings ol freshmen Vanes-
ia Cotton and Pauline Guemas,
sophomore Natasha Vieira and
senior Viviana Vrureta, and se-
nior Olga Klimova and Kudlack-
ova Bietau said he has some spe-
cific expectations for success for
each player tomorrow
"Vivi | Yruret;i | is clearly one
ul our team leaders and has played
a big rule in the past, and she's
playing oft the wall right now"
he said "I think we can count
on good pert 1 1 nuances out of her.
Olga is coining back from an inju-
ry and we're optimistic that she's
going to show us some things that
she hasn't been able to do for a
while And. of course, the fresh
men have some expectations too;
they're definitely going to be in
the line-up playing somewhere."

If you

I received one response
un the eCollegian about my
original column, written after
the Patriots' win over the In-
dianapolis Colts
One person did not sup
port my belief of a 16-0 sea-
son, but what they did believe
was the New York Giants
were the team, if there was
one, that could stop the win-
ning streak.
In the spirit of all the po
litical endorsements of late. 1
am going lo endorse whoev
er wrote that comment and
agree the Giants are the team
that can stop the Patriots at
18 wins in a row and keep
them from winning 38 straight
games
OK, a small stretch there
at the end of that sentence,
but you have to think the Pa-
triots could probably pull that
many wins off if they beat the
Giants
But. while many people
are writing the Giants off and
are already giving the Lom-
bardi Trophy to New England.
I think the Giants really could
do this.
1 can honestly say 1 am
neither a tan of the Patriots
nor the Giants, and Tom Bra
dy and Eli Manning aren't my
favorite quarterbacks, but if
I had to choose. 1 would go
with Manning
Sure, Brady is the guy
who will throw three intercep
lions and still rally a team to
victory, but Manning is chal-
lenging Brady with his won-
derful playoff statistics.
Overthrowing a dynasty
is never easy, and it won't be
an easy Sunday for the Giants,
but they have all the tools
there to pull it off
The New York defense
is as good as the defenses of
the Baltimore Ravens and ihe
Tampa Bay Buccaneers that
led their teams to Super Bowi
wins.
One flaw those two team-.
had in common was an of-
fense that didn't necessarily
complement the defense Willi
the Giants, the defense seems
to be served nicely by the of-
fense, or at least has been in
the playoffs
The other difference be-
tween the Ravens and Bucca
necrs' championship wins and
the task that lies ahead of the
Giants is the fact that the Pa
triots are better, by far, than
the Oakland Haiders and Gi
ants teams that were on the
losing end of those other
games.
New England is speciac
ular, better than any team I
have ever seen in the NFL,
being too young to have seen
the dynasty teams of the 1970s
and 1980s
The best thing that has
happened leading up to this
game is the prediction of a Gi
ants win by New York wide
receiver Plaxico Burress. His
guess of 23 17 has given me
the confidence to stand by a
prediction of my ow-n: Giants,
31-29, with the Patriots miss
ing a potential game-winning
field goal
Go ahead and say what
you will about my predic
lion, especially if I am wrong
after Sunday is over, and if
you have a belter predic-
tion, go ahead and post it on
line We always welcome your
thoughts
Enjoy the game Sunday
and don't slop celebrating that
win over KU I'm pretty sure
they can still hear it in Law-

Wildcats hope to make strides
in first heptathlon this season
Joel Axhbrtnnat
KANSAS mm 001 iftS IAN
Only 30 athletes from the 75-
person K- State track team will
travel to Lincoln, Neb,, this week-
end for the 51rd annual Frank
Sevigne Huikcr Invitational
Freshman Moritz Cleve and
junior Adam Fretwell are com
peting in their first heptathlons of
the season. Fretwell said the invi-
tational will provide good compe-
tition because of the minimum re-
quirement) to compete in the hep
lathlon.
He said the Wildcats will (ace
strong heptathletes from Nebras-
ka as well as last year's nation
al champion, Jake Arnold, who is
competing unattached from any
college.
"I hope to do well," Fretwell
said "For multi-eventcrs, it's al
ways exciting to do their first
multi-event of the season"
Coach Cliff Rovelto said the
Big 12 Conference is strong in the
heptathlon and as many as six or
seven heptathletes from the confer-
ence could qualify for the NCAA
championships He said this meet
will be a good measure of how the
Wildcats measure up to good com-
petition.
"The Nebraska guys will be
in the meet this weekend, so we'll
get a little bit better idea of what
kind o( shape people are in," Rov
ello said "Based on what I've seen
from individual results, I think that
that will be an extremely strong
event"
In the running events, senior
Morgan Bonds is a favorite in the
800- meter race She has won the
600 yard race the last three years
at this meet and won the 600-yard
race in last weekend's Con (ere nee
Challenge, which was also in Lin
coin
^The invitational should pro-
vide a good opportunity to run an
800-meter race on a 200-meter
track, which is the same-size track
used at NCAA indoor champion-
ships. Bonds said she likes running
the 800-meter after competing well
in the 600-yard race
"The 600 is a good stimulus to
run a fast 800," Bonds said "It will
be interesting to see it I can go out
and get the provisional standards
for nationals this weekend. That's
my goal "
Sophomore Loren Groves is
another Wildcat who has a chance
to perform well She qualified for
the NCAA Indoor Championships
in the weight throw when she
broke the school record with a 69-
1 1.50 toss on |an 19
"Loren is clearly the best girl
in the conference," Rovelto said
"She is certainly capable of win-
ning"
Rovelto also said junior Scott
Sellers has a good chance to win
the high jump (his weekend, but he
will be facing the best competition
in the Big 12
"He'd have to jump well; he
couldn't have an off day and still
win," Rovelto said
Young equestrian team has high
expectations for rest of season
By Jonathan Wright
KANSAS SI ATK COLLEGIAN
With a young team, it's
hard (o improve on a 4-2 fall
season record, but that's ex-
actly what the K State eques
than team plans to do
The team, led by co-head
coaches Ashley Foster and
Casie Williamson, looks to
mix its core group of veter-
an riders with younger riders
in hopes of improving on the
strong fall season. Both head
coaches are in their first full
seasons on the job.
"Having the opportunity
to co-head coach with coach
Foster has been a great op-
portunity." Williamson said
"We have our own ways of
working with our learns, but
we hope lor the same end re
suit"
Both coaches work with
different aspects of the team
Foster deals with the English
side of the team, while Wil
liamson heads up the West-
ern squad.
"It is really more efficient
for the team lo have two
head coaches because it al
lows one coach to specialize
in the English discipline and
one in the Western," said ju-
nior Alyssa Freeman, a West-
ern rider
There were questions
B»i"B into the fall about the
youth of the team, but after
four impressive wins, there is
little doubt about the riders
ability
"The fall season gave our
riders the confidence they
needed going into a tougher
spring schedule." Williamson
said I am sure this will lead
us to many more wins and a
successful national champi-
onship"
The team's youth is one
of its biggest strengths, said
freshman Alecia Zimbelman,
who rides Western
"1 have gained quite a bit
of experience riding on the
varsity equestrian team," Zim
belman said. "I have learned
a lot and I know 1 will learn
a lot more"
The spring season begins
this weekend when the team
travels to Stillwater, Okla.. to
compete against an undefeat-
ed Oklahoma State team The
show begins at 10 am Satur-
day at Oklahoma State's Ani-
mal Science Arena
Although the team is
young and riding against a
solid Cowgirls squad, team
members feel confident that
they will do well this week-
end and build on their suc-
cess from the (all.
"I have very high expec
tations for the spring season."
Zimbelman said
A national championship
cannot be won this weekend,
but the team can certain-
ly take a big step toward ac-
complishing its ultimate goal
by beating Oklahoma State,
Freeman said
"If we continue to work
hard, I know we are capable
of beating teams like Oklaho-
ma State," she said. "I would
definitely have to say the
overall goal for us is to walk
away with a team national
championship."
Representative sponsoring bill
to put 'In God We Trust' on plates
By Kristin Hodges
KANSAS MAI I- (OUH.tAN
Some Kansas residents
wanted a new kind of per
sonalized tag for their ve-
hicles slating "In God We
Trust," and Rep Jim Mor-
rison, R-Colby, is trying to
make that happen.
Morrison said the per-
sonalized lags were request-
ed by some of his constitu
ents who had seen similar
Indiana plates and wanted
them introduced in Kansas
"I represent the district,"
Morrison said "When peo-
ple request something in my
district, whether 1 agree or
not, I make up legislation
for it That's what this is all
about
"If 1 jusl ignored them
because 1 didn't like it, that
would not be a good repre-
sentative, in my view"
He added that un
less "it's just a plain stupid
idea," everything deserves a
chance.
Morrison went to the
House Transportation Com-
mittee with the suggestion,
and it decided to sponsor the
bill
Morrison said the mon
ey from the personalized
tags usually goes to the or-
ganization that is sponsoring
them, but in this case, the
money would go to gener-
al funds for the state, unless
that specification is changed
during the bills process
Some people have said
the plates would be a viola-
tion of church and state, but
Morrison said that isn't an
issue at all
Its personalized," he
said "You request it It sig-
nifies whatever. People wiil
say the state doesn't have
any business doing that, but
the slate's not imposing any-
thing. It's an option."
Morrison said the bill
has two to three weeks be-
fore it would go to the house
and eventually lo llie gover-
nor for signature
A secretary in the gov
cmor's office said the office
has not released any kind
of statement at this time re-
garding whether Gov Kath-
leen Sebelius will support
and sign the bill.
Morrison said he does
not expect any problems
with Ihe bill, and if every-
thing runs smoothly, it would
be passed Inly 1 and the tags
would be available during
the month of August.
Bonnie Brown, assistant
to the director of motor ve-
hicles at the Kansas Depart-
ment of Revenue, said each
institution sets its own price
to charge for personalized
tags like the ones that Mor-
rison is suggesting
Brown said the price
usually falls between $25
and $50.
"For state purposes, it's
still the same fees as any oth-
er lag." she said
Brown said the slate of-
fers several personalized tags
from individual agencies, in-
cluding universities, fire sta-
tions and the Children's
Trust Fund.

'Biggest Winner' program to help students attain goals
By Shells Ellis
k\SS\\ MArtlOLLfeWAN
The ubjcclive of "The Biggest
Laser." an NBC reality show, is lor
the severely overweight participants
to lose the most weight possible; the
results are people starving them-
selves and over -exercising to attain
an unrealistic weight-loss goal
However, the K- State PAC-
CATS, a peer educator group which
promotes healthy lifestyles, is fo-
cusing on setting goals for attain-
able and manageable lifestyle choic
es with their newest program, "The
Biggest Winner," a 6 -week fitness
and wellness program.
Alex Serra, senior in kinesiolo
gy and student coordinator of PAC
CATS, said there are a few key dif-
ferences in the reality show "The
Biggest Loser" and K. State's pro-
gram "The Biggest Winner'
"Our program is a goal -setting
process," Serra said "We are increas-
ing students' confidence through
promoting healthy lifestyles This
is a spin off of The Biggest Loser,'
but we are not going to say [if you]
weigh in at 160 pounds, you didn't
make your goal, you lose
The pragma will be broken up
in teams to locus on students' indi
vidual goals, whether they are work
ing out more often or stress- man-
agement, Serra said Peer mentors
will lead the teams, and students in
volved in the program will meet with
the mentors to help the students
meet their goals There will be priz-
es for the individual and team that
meets all or the majority of their set
goals.
The 15 peer mentors are all ma
juring in areas that locus on healthy
lifestyles, including kinesiology, nu-
trition, dietetics and psychology
• Everybody is talking about los-
ing weight for spring break." Serra
said "This is a great, healthy way to
do that "
Students should take advantage
ul this free program because it helps
students to be accountable for their
goals and provides a team setting
and workout buddies, she said.
At the beginning of the program,
students will take a healthybchav
ior assessment and mentors will use
the results to see where they can set
goals The students and the mentors
will meet once a week, Serra said
Fred Newton, project director
for PAC-CATS. said the program
originally started with a Sunflower
Foundation grant The foundation
was created to improve Kansans'
health
Obesity is the No 1 health
problem in the United States New
ton said he thought since fresh
men come to college and fall victim
to unhealthy eating habits and the
freshman 15. PAC CATS would be
a great way to promote healthy life-
styles.
PAC-CATS focuses on fresh-
men by going into freshman orienta-
tion classes where 400-700 students
then take a health assessment which
gives them feedback on acceptable
standards for a healthy lifestyle, he
said
Katie James, senior in kinesol-
ogy, nutrition and exercise scienc-
es and PAC-CATS peer mentor, said
her experience working with stu
dents to help them achieve their
heath goals was amazing
"I love that I am able to use [my|
knowledge in the classroom, and ap
plying it to real-life situations is real-
ly rewarding and seeing their growl h

Underclassmen lead campus organizations
By Joe Vosst n
KANSAS 5TAT1C0U86MM
The K Slate men's bas-
ketball team is not the only
group on campus led by a tal-
ented set of underclassmen.
As the spring term begins,
campus braces for the usual
rush of membership dllnw,
philanthropy campaigns and
student government elections
typically led by juniors and
seniors, but like the basket-
ball squad, many organiza-
tions on campus are benefit-
ing from the talents of prom-
ising freshmen and sopho-
mores.
MORE THAN FARMING
Bethany Bohnenblusl.
freshman in agriculture com-
munication, might have one
ul the busiest schedules on
campus
In |une 2007, Bohncn
blust was selected as stale
president ol the Kansas FFA
Association - an organiza
tion with more than 7.300
members
Even after starting
school in August, Bohncn -
blust found time to drive
more than 12,000 miles pro-
muting agriculture in Kansas
as the state president.
Bohnenblusl admitted
the difficulty of balancing
and her commitment to
FFA, but she said she slays
motivated by the relation-
ships she has formed with her
fellow officers and the people
she meets across the state
"I love working with pen
pie, 1 ' Bohnenblusl said, "and
going out and talking to the
family farmer who has been
doing Ins job lor HO years and
finding common ground"
fu almost eight months
as state president. Bohncn
blust has spoken to more
than 15.000 people about ag-
ricultural issues
Over winter break slic
traveled with four other
K State officers on an FFA
sponsored trip to Spain
There, she learned about the
similarities between U S and
European agriculture and no
(iced some striking different
es
"Over here, a big ide-
al is freedom and Indepen
dence, but it's not a big deal
for them." Bohnenblusl said,
alluding to the contrasting
levels of autonomy enjoyed
by farmers on the two con
tinents "They have no prob-
lem signing over all their
business decisions or selling
their land"
Her passion for agricul
lure is evident. Bohnenhlust
jumped headfirst into the
Cnllege ol Agriculture, join-
ing the Agriculture Commu-
nicators of Tomorrow (ACTf
and the College ol Agriculture
Training Program (CAT)
She said her role as FFA
president has been reward-
ing, and the lessons learned
have complemented her first
semester experiences in the
classroom
"College isn't truly learn
ing about how to solve math
problems or how to grow
mold." she said "What it dues
teach us is how to think in
the world we live in, how to
call to action for a cause, and
how to connect with our tal-
ents, with teachers, and wiih
in an industry"

Events planned to promote
nonviolence, healthy living
on campus, community
By Shell* Ellis
KANSAS STATE COLLEGIAN
)usl as il is important for humans to
maintain a healthy diet, it is important to
maintain healthy, nonviolent relationships
with one's self, others and the world, said
Susan Allen, director of nonviolence educa-
tion at K- State
"Social nutrition is thinking about prob-
lems in society before there is an in -balance
or a problem occurs," Allen said
From Feb 2 to March 15, K- State will
be celebrating "A Season for Nonviolence"
2008. Events are scheduled for the two
months between the anniversaries of the as-
sassinations of two globally recognized lead
ers of nonviolent change. Mohandas Gan-
dhi, who was killed Jan 30, 1948. and Mar
tin Luther King, Jr., who was shot April 4,
1968, Allen said.
The events are geared toward helping
people think about how they can be well-
balanced individuals, Allen said.
"Americans in particular have been
taught to wait for the crisis before we attend
the problem." she said
According to the Association for Glob-
al New Thought Web site, wwwagnt.org. the
purpose of the 64-day season is to create
an awareness of nonviolent principles and
practices as a powerful way to heal, trans-
form and empower peoples* lives and com-
munities
Kate Boysen, senior in Spanish and so-
ciology and student coordinator for the sea-
son, said the events will show students how
they can do little things to practice nonvio-
lence in their own lives. •
Events such as Adopt -a Highway this
Saturday promote having a healthy rela-
tionship with the environment, Boysen said
Other events like "Making Food Your Friend
Again" will promote healthy body image and
inner peace
"We want students to learn you don't
have to be Ghandi or King to study nonvio-
lence," Boysen said

be one of the first survival
skills learned in college For
the less-motivated student, mi-

Maybe that is why so many

"Call of Duty 4"
R«vl*w by Brindon St«in«rt
"First -person shooter" is
probably the must crowded
genre of the video game world,
but only a few manage (o tap-
lure the imagination of gamers.
Halo 3" and "Call of Duty
4 ne two games lhal slood out
in the crowd last year "COD4"
outsold "Halo 5" last year, even
though the latter had nearly
two months of shelf time over
the former. Both add to already
great series, but which one is
belter' 1 It simply depends on
the person
The sc ie nee fi c ti on • themed
"Halo 3" is colorful with alien
enemies, space ships and tele-
porters So, if you like futuris-
tic games, you won't go wrong
with Halo 3
For those loyal to the series
- or until they saw the terrible
ending in "Halo 2" - "Halo 3"
makes up for it with a riveting
finale It's worth the short five-
hour wait period to gel to the
end. Don 'l skip the credits, es-
pecially if you finish in Legend-
ary niiult
Where "Halo 3" really
shines is its mulliplayer format
Having three of your buddies
on the same screen with you
while you play random teams
from around the world is un
beatable. It's simply one of the
best social experiences avail-
able m video games, just short
of "Kotk Band" or "Guitar
Hero." of course
1 all of Duty 4" is more re-
alistic. Infinity Ward, the game's
designer, did its best to create
the most real -sounding weap-
ons The campaign mode is
filled with explosives and plen-
ty of trigger time, and it is set in
a very near future
The shortfall of "COD4"
is you ain't have multiple play-
ers on one screen and still play
online For competitive gamers,
it won't mailer much But for
people like me who tike to relax
with their friends while play
ing, the social aspect is miss-
ing I make up for it by playing
online with some of my friends
from bom who would other
wise not be sitting next lo me
anyway
I'll be playing "COD4"
when nobody's around and
"Halo 3" when I need to share
the screen

Group seeks
different
sound, lyrics
By Adrianne DeWeese
KANSAS MAI Mill IK, IAN
They're just five guys who want
to make music and live their mot-
to "entertain people without making
them dumber"
Ludo. a St Louis bused rock
bind, will perform tonight at KatH-
ouse Lounge
"It's commentary on the low-
est common denominator of enter
tainment (hat's out there.' said Ludo
member Tim Convy about the group's
mono "A lot of the music thai people
are making doesn't give you anything,
and it's a waste of lime I wouldn't go
so far as to say we're trying to change
the world, but it should make people
think a little bit. and you should get
something oul of it"
Ludo features Convy on Muog
synthesizer, keyboards and vocals;
Andrew Volpe, vocals and guitar;
Tim Ferrell, vocals and guitar, Mar-
shall Fanciullo, bass; and Matt I'al.r
mo. vocals and drums
"You're Awful, I Love You,' the
gniup's third album, is set for release
on Feb 26 Ludo recorded the album,
its first on a major label, in Los An
gdes with producer Matt Wallace
who also has worked with Maroon 5,
Train and Failh No More
"Love Me Dead" is the First sin-
gle and lead track from "You're Aw-
ful, I Ixive You." The song's first verse
declares "Kill me romantically/ Fill
my soul with vomit'Then ask me
for a piece of gum /Bitter and dumb/
You're my sugarplumAbu're awful, I
love you"
C i mvy said Volpe wrote the song
about his and other band members'
ex girlfriends and hi m they were hor-
rible relationships that everyone else
but those in the relationships saw
"They were just so caught up in
being in the relationship - whether it
ma how hot the girl was or whatev-
er else that they just didn't see this
was a life-draining, horrible person."
Convy said
While Ludo is a rock band, its
lyrics address topics dial other rock
bands don't, Convy said He also said
the band isn't polarized as either hap
py or sad; the music addresses a range
oteniot urns
"I think we tap intu other emo-
tions with our songs," Convy said,
"and songs like Love Me Dead' show
thai you can feel both in certain situ-
ations and relationships A lot of our
songs tell stories and create charac-
ters, and it's gut a fantastical, fantasy
element to it."
Tonight is not Ludo's first perfor-
mance in Manhattan; the group also
has performed at P|'s Pub Convy
said Ludo members are fans of Man-
hattan-based bands Ultimate Fake-
book and Pomeroy.
"We've got nothing but good
thoughts about Manhattan," Convy
said

"Atonement"
ft*vl*wi by Brtndan Pittqtt
"Atonement" has emerged
as one of the most critically ac
claimed films of the year, earn-
ing dozens ol awards and land-
ing on the majority of critics'
tup ten lists.
With all this in mind. I en-
tered the theater with high ex
pectations, and for the most
part I was not disappointed
"Atonement" displays pas-
sionate performances from Kei-
ra Knightley, lames McAvoy
and 1 3 -year -old Saoirse Ron an,
it expertly shifts perspective* to
show important scenes from
multiple points of view, and as
a romance, it avoids sappiness
and sentimentality while still
weaving a story that will stick
with you long after leaving the
theater
Based on the novel by Ian
McEwan, "Atonement" fol-
lows Bruin v Tall is (Ronan),
who changes the course of sev-
eral lives when she accuses her
older sister's { Knightley) lover
( McAvoy) of a crime he did not
commit.
After prison. McAvoy's
character leaves for WWII,
and die romance struggles to
survive.
The mosi impressive point
in the film tomes m the form of
a 4 5- minute tracking shot on a
war tom beach in France. For
a moment, the incredible cin-
ematography almost overtakes
the storytelling, bui direcior
|oe Wright |Pride and Preju-
dice) quickly brings us back to
the ground by handling multi-
ple story lines with alarming ti
ficiency.
"Atonement" doesn't lop
my list of favorite films from
2007, but it isn't an experience
I'll soon forget ft should fill the
void for any romance fan sick
of empty romantic comedies
and sappy Nicholas Sparks

MOVIE REVIEWS
vesler Stallone Film" flashed
across the film in an absurdly
cheesy stenciled font, I knew
"Kamho " wasn't going to be a
great movie, but I knew I'd love
it anyway
After last year's surpris-
ingly decent "Rocky Balboa."
it makes sense for Stallone lo
revive another stagnant trait
chise Rambo is still a well-
known character, but (he must
recent addition to the franchise
came in 1988, when many cur-
rent K State students hadn't yet
learned to walk, let alone ap-
preciate the mindless violence
i he series does so well.
The story is straightfor-
ward and provides numer-
ous opportunities for physical
conflict while doing its best to
avoid morality or character de-
velopment. After spending the
last 20 years in Thailand. John
Rambo agrees lo lead a group
of Christian aid workers into
war-torn Burma After they are
predictably captured by local
warlords, Rambo joins a group
of mercenaries on the rescue
mission.
From there the movie
plays like a checklist of elicited
action scenes and testosterone-
fueled fantasies Rambo forges
a machete, rips a man's throat
out with his bare hands and
detonates a forgotten WWII
bomb dropped by the English
According to a handy
chart at wwwslashfHm.com,
5 04 people die per minute,
and for the first time in the se-
ries, Stallone leaves his shirt on
the entire time.
In all fairness, "Ram
bo" has numerous flaws lhal I
would usually be hard pressed
to overlook The dialogue is
usually terrible, most of the
character development is
weak and many of the scenes
are undeniably absurd But
despite its shortcomings
"Rambo" is a thoroughly
eti|oyuhle film
Much like "Rocky
Balboa," "Rambo" pro-
vides an appropriate con-
clusion to the story of
one of Stallone's best
known characters. The
last scene is almost
touching in the
way it provides
closure to a man who goes to
great lengths to avoid set ill
mentality
1 had originally laughed
when Stallone announced his
intention to make a fourth, and
possibly fifth "Rambo" movie.

DESPERATE KENYANS
TURN TO GANGS FOR
PROTECTION
NAIROBI, Kenya - As
Kenya splits along ethnic
lines and the body count spi

they are turning to once-hated
gangs for protection.
One gang recruiter in Nai-
robi said she receives about 30
calls daily from people seeking
membership, and politicians -
including a government min
ister - are offering money for
weapons to fuel the furor over
the presidential election.
At a camp for displaced
families in Nairobi's Mathare
slum, she led the crowd in a Ki
kiiyu song before asking those
whose homes were burned or
looted whether they would
consider joining the Mungiki
gang. Much of the
postelection violence has pil-
led President Mwai Kibaki's

groups.
"If we are many, we can go

explained, the ragged crowd
staring at her designer sun-

icately poised above Ihc mud

seeking bail.
U.S. Attorneys Office

Still problematic for Mo

prosecutors contend, he dem-

According to an FBI al

Allen said the students
were on an innocent road

But a federal judge who
denied bail for Megahed in

He said that the evidence

Stress-free day
Take time to breathe throughout the
stressful wedding planning process
Njte Schmidt 1 LOLLKUN
As a newly will I It'll it mi
pcrrtant lo share some advice
with brides working through
the planning process.
There are many es-
sential details to re-
member while
planning what
should be one of
the happiest days of
your life Because this
day comes with such expec
lalions and an expensive
price tag, the stress can be
completely overwhelming.
However thtfl is I why
to prevent mental break-
downs, petty arguments and mis-
communications while keeping
your head in place ail the while
Taking time for yourself
throughout the process is crucial to
prevent ovcrstressing, or as some
like lo call it, becoming bridezilla
Now, the key to having time for
you is keeping the wedding out of
it It's important to do non wedding
activities at least one hour every
week throughout the wedding pro-
cess.
It will soon become a time

JOHNSTON
laxing and keeping your stress lev-
els down each week.
An obvious choice for time out
is a romantic dinner with
your groom Without talk-
ing about the stressful
planning, you'll be able to
focus on the qualities thai
brought you this far
There are many
places in Manhattan that
would be great for relax
ing The Frank Anncberg
Park, 3801 Anderson Ave ,
offers various options for
activity
With a stocked
lake, picnic areas, sports fields, bat-
ting cages, miniature golfing and a
wildlife and nature trail the park is
an inexpensive escape from wed-
ding stress.
Girlfriend time is another great
way to relax Spending time at the
spa can lake your mind off the
planning.
I found it very helpful to get a
pedicure every couple weeks be-
cause it is a relaxing way lo avoid
feeling frazzled
If you are on a tight budget,
where you can look forward to re both American Academy of Hair
Design and Crum's Beauty College
have affordable prices on spa ser-
vices
If primping is not your thing,
going to the rec can be a good
chance to get in some alone time
and reduce your stress levels Get-
ting a regular workout is one of the
most effective ways to take control
of stress
Catching a matinee at the mov-
ie theatre is also an inexpensive
way to take some time off
By reducing your stress, your
mind will be clearer to handle the
wedding chaos This, might I add.
WILL happen
Accepting that something cha-
otic will happen on your wedding
day is the first step to being pre-
pared to handle whatever might
come your way.
If you control your stress, you'll
be ready to tackle anything.
If you let all the planning get
to you, it will be hard to enjoy the
day you've wrapped the past year
around

Couples should avoid often-celebrated days
By Eli« Nimti
KANSAS STATE (01 1 H. IAS
2008 is going to be
an exciting year with the
summer Olympics and a
presidential election tak-
ing place Planning a wed-
ding this year is bound to
result in some scheduling
conflicts, but the big day
should ultimately be devot-
ed to one couple and not
some other event happen
ing on the same day.
To ensure the focus
stays on the nuptials eel
ebration, here are some
dales to avoid when plan-
ning ahead
K STATE GAME DAYS
Steer clear of Saturdays
in the fall when the Wild-
cats are playing at home.
This will please fans invited
to the wedding, and finding
hotel rooms and a space for
the reception will be easier
Jenn Alley, sales man-
ager at the Clarion Hotel,
said the hotel agrees to a
contract with K- Slate two
years in advance to have
the team stay there Friday
before a game and use the
ballroom on Saturday
She said peupie tend to
choose other wedding dales
because the use of the ball
room depends on how car
ly kickoff is for the home
games - usually determined
a week before the game
HOLIDAYS
Independence Day
falls on a Friday this year,
and while some consider it
classy to have a red-, white
and blue ihemed wedding
on Fourth of | uly weekend,
couples should examine all
angles of a decision to say
their vows on a widely rec
ognized holiday.
Hosting a wedding on
a day people typically make
other plans is not consid-
erate toward guests Matt
Christcnsen, senior in Eng-
lish and Spanish, said he
recently attended a wed-
ding on New Year's Eve
He said nol only was
he distracted by the cold
but also by the number of
calls he got from friends
partying elsewhere,
"I can say that if a per-
son is to choose a wedding
date and they really want
a winter wedding, choose
a date (hat, when you took
back on it. is nol a date that
is already celebrated by,
well, everyone," said Chris
tensen, who was married
last summer
POPULAR DATES
Ask around about
what dates have already
been snatched up by en-
gaged couples, and a pal
tern emerges Some cou-
ples have picked up on the
novelty of dates like [une
7 and August 8 Howev
er, it seems like everyone
thought it would be inter-
esting to use these dates,
so don't be surprised if you
have two or more weddings
to attend when they roll
around
It's also important to
remember other events spe
cific to where the wedding
will lake place Eryn Wood,
senior in secondary educa-
tion, said she and her fian-
ce picked their |uly 26 date
to avoid wheat and corn
harvest in southwesl Kan-
tM
Above all, remember
the date does nol have la
be set in stone Not yet.
anyway Wood said if it was
early enough and something
came up. she would be will-
ing to change her dale.
"1 guess if your an-
nouncement was already
in the paper, you could
print a correction.' Wood
said. "There's still time, just
as long as the invitations
weren't already sen! out"
Web sites offer help for wedding planning
By Katie SUrzec
KANSAS STATE COLLEGIAN
Planning a wedding
can be stressful, but when
it's all said and done, cou-
ples get what they want,
when they want it, when
they make their own plans.
In many Internet re
sources, husbands- and
wiles to-be have access to a
lot of information and lips
to make their big day won-
derful, memorable and af-
fordable.
Hiring a wedding plan
ner can make the process
less stressful
However, if couples are
on a tight budget, or just
want to be able to make all
the decisions, spearheading
the project might be a bet-
ter option
"As far as planning it
yourself, the basics are the
most important priority,"
said wedding event planner
Mandy Fogo of Waters Par
ty and Wedding in Manhat
tan
She said locations, ca-
tering services, photogra-
phers, musicians and flow
ers book quickly, so they
should be chosen before
the cake topper and Ihe sil
verware
Many planners lap
into the Internet's polen
tial. Sites like www the
Knotcom and www.wed-
dingchannel com to provide
planning luols like wed
ding checklists and budget
sheets, along with ideas for
the reception, the cake and
even hairstyles.
Tips for winter or out
door weddings are on the
Web sites also.
For those who want to
see options in person, cou-
ples can also attend local
bridal fairs,
"They're really help
ful, because it's local peo
pie and businesses," said
Rebecca Kriesch, K-State
alumna
For her wedding, >Iil-
chose a cake and disc jock-
ey services at a bridal fair
in Manhattan. By attend-
ing fairs, buying planning
books and using the Inter
net, Kriesch planned her
wedding while she was still
in college
"Planning for my baby
was harder lhan planning
for the wedding," Kriesch
said with a laugh
Now (hat she has a
full-time job. Kriesch said
she thinks it was easier to
plan for the wedding while
in school, since she had the
whole summer to "hii it
hardcore."
When planning, cou-
ples might want to consid-
er what is most important,
though
You look in the mag-
azines, and you want to
spend a lot of money," said
Melissa Pickett, graduate
student in grain science.
"but il's funny how liule
that stuff matters on the
wedding day I wanted lo
be picky, but looking back,
we could've settled on a lot
less"
Picked said she and her
mother planned her small-
town wedding
She said couples can
be overwhelmed by brid-
al fairs and planning sites,
because brides oflcn feel
like they need lo use every
thing that's available, but fi
nancially it might not be as
easy as it looks.
As for location, Pickett
said a wedding in Kansas
City would have provided
more options, bul the com
munity aspect of the small -
lown ceremony was a more
sentimental choice.
Friends helped with
the reception, and her mom
made the table arrange-
ments Also Ihe local gro-
cery slorc catered ihe re
ception dinner
Both Kriesch and Pick
ett said they are happy
with how their ceremonies
turned out
Both brides got wtui
they wanted because they
took the planning into their
own hands

Kungay political director of
tilt- Kansas Republican Party
■AW "re cautiously optimistic
There's a big deficit there and
1 1 N have to work really hard
in try and uvercoine that defi-
cit and restore the office"
The credibility lost by
Morrison's actions leave Six in
a battle to not only serve Kan
s;i\ citizens but also to regain
their trust.
Slate Rep Paul Davis, D
l-awrencc, said he believes that
Six has the tools to win this
fi«hl
"I think that with the stan-
di I that has erupted for Paul
Morrison and a lot of the con
inivcfsy surround ing | former
attorney general I Hi ill Kline,
there is a dire need for some-
one to restore Integrity and
confidence to thai position,
and I think he is absolutely the
right person to do thai," Davis
said
\IIlt knowing Six for sev-
eral years. Davis suid that his
background as a lawyer and
judge should benefit Kansas
"I have known him fur
many years and have seen
him as a judge and as an attor-
ney, and he is somebody who
has tremendous integrity and
makes decisions based on law
and not on polities," Davis suid.
"I think having someone who
is first and ioreniosl a lawyer
instead of a politician is exactly
what we need al this time "
Six officially hepns work

for young, black voters
Brooks said this problem
hinges on the quality of edu-
cation Ihcy are receiving and
their access to higher educa-
tion
Another issue, in addi
lion to economy and edu
cation, is the justice system
and how it affects young.
black people The Iraq War
was another issue of con
cerii. bul apparently not a
top priority for young black
people. Brooks said
"It's time to focus on
what's happening here at
home, Foust said
Brooks said the Black
Youth Vote campaign is cur
icnlly conducting a poll of
young people to determine
what issues need attention
The goal of ihe campaign,
he said, is to develop leader
ship skills in the "nexl gen-
eration" to engage in its own
civic process and communi-
ty
"Its important to
noi unly gel plugged in, but
lo understand the process,
and not be intimidated by
flic process." Brooks said.
"(We're) trying to break that
cycle of apathy"
Foust said the K State
chapter of Delta Sigma The-
ta has made its own efforts
to encourage young people
to vote The sorority host-
ed a "Crimson and Cream
Week.' named for the so-
rority's colors - this week,
offering voter- registration
cards at Us booth in the K
Stale Student Union and en-
couraging students to vote in
the Upcoming Kansas cau-
cuses The sororily also
handed out pamphlets about
each candidate in the Demo-
cratic and Republican party,
showing no bias, jusl educat-
ing the student body on plat
forms of each candidates. —
The sorority also pre-
sented a candidate forum,
where former Kansas Gov
John Carlin and K-State's
chapters of the Young Dem-
ocrats and Young Republi-
cans spoke about current C
sues.
"|We're interested int.
what candidates are doing to
meet our needs," Foust said,
"and whal particular items

Wood explained that m
other countries, people are
more mlerested in llicinlegnu
of a parent -child relationship,
but in I he United States, she
said, people are inherendy in
: ed in rebelling against au-
fhorily, since the V S was born
through rebellion
"Americans see rebellion
and think that's the way it has
lu be," Wood said
But people from other
cultures belter understand the
tension that Austen's charac-
ters face 11 icy are striving to
be independent, yet are con-
neclett lo their families Wood

Yu said the Chinese peo
pie identify more wifh the idea
that marriage involves not just
the couple but the families as
well
lis not just about love
in the romantic way wc think
about it." she said It's about
family, about connecting witb
people"
She said in Auslen's era,
and in other parts of the world,
marriage is about doing what
is most appropriate for every
one involved
To demonstrate bow many
people read Austen's novels.
Yu and Wood read off some
languages thai the hooks have
translated into Italian, Ko-
rean, Japanese, Chinese, and
many others were named
Audience member Sha-
ron Smith, a Manhattan res-
ident, said she thought Aus-
ten's "remarkable facility with
language" and the way she
formed her plots around rela
tionships made her books ap-
peal to many cultures
"That's what life means to
us - the feeling we get when we
relate to others," Smith said "I
think that's the universal part"

KANSAS RATI COUJGttM |
After witnessing her mother
fight two different kin Js of cancer,
and then battling the disease her
self, Trini Najera decided to fight
back in a way different from che-
motherapy and doctor visits.
She became involved in the
American Cancer Society' 1 * Reh\

Trini said this is exactly what
she needed after dealing with can-
cer in her family
Trini 's mother was diagnosed
with cervical cancer at age 22 and
during Trim's junior year in high
school, her mother also was diag
nosed with liver cancer. Trini. se-
nior in family studies and human
services, said it was difficult to
witness the challenges her moth-
er went through daily, especially
while her mother was undergoing
treatment
"I saw how lite eh emu wore
her down, the medicines made her
drowsy, have hair loss, weight loss
and forgetfulness - it was hard."
Trini said
After Trini herself was diag-
nosed with cervical cancer during
her junior year al K Slate, she said
it was difficult being at K v
peciaily being away from her moth-
er. She said she would never have
been able to make it withoul the
support from her friends al K St ate
and her family back home.
Now a survivor ol cancer, Tri-
ni said she wants people to know
her story, but most importantly,
she wants people to know what
they can do to help in the fight
against cancer.
"Don't do it by yourself, there
is help out there, and hold on to
your friends and family," Trini said.
"Support gets you through it and
knowing thai there are people out
there that care for you, you just
have lo reach out lo them"
She said it was a rough year,

Current issues change image of Black History month
By Shell* Ellis
KANSAS STATt a>l.l.F.l,lAN
Over the years, peo pit-
have celebrated Black History
month by learning about con-
tributions made by blacks and
commemorating black lead
ers.
However, the K-State
Black Student Union Presi-
dent Bryon Williams said col-
leges across the nation are
changing this trend
•'Colleges are starling
to have events that focus on
more than history but Focuses
on current issues, stereotypes
and taboos," he said "In terms
of our (college students'] edu-
cation level, we have created a
time to discuss relevant black,
racial issues."
During the month of Feb-
ruary, there will be several
events celebrating Block His
toty Month, including a key
note speech from Julian Bond,
chairman of the National As-
sociation for the Advancement
of Colored People on Feb. 21.
Williams said the purpose
of this year's events is to edu-
cate and enlighten students.
Discussions will take
place to open communication
among the K- State communi-
ty, including a discussion on
the word "nigger" and how it
epitomizes hatred and oppres-
sion, Williams said.
The theme for K-State's
Black History month is "Rais-
ing the Bar: Connecting our
Past Progress with our Future
Ambitions."
The theme sprouted from
this year's BSU overall theme;
"The Elevation Project." he
said, in which Williams has
implemented a threefold en-
deavor to engage, energize and
empower the members
The BSU also has collab-
orated with other multicultural
organizations on campus like
the Hispanic American Lead
ership Organization HALO
will co-sponsor the play "Pla
tanos & Collared Greens
Black and Latino Theatrical
Production" with BSU on Feb
20 The romantic comedy play
portrays an interracial couple
dealing with with cultural and
racial prejudices
Uriel Estrada, HALO
president, said the play is the
first step to future event col-
laboration projects with BSU.
"When you co-spon-
sor something, you arc show-
ing unity between the two or-
ganizations and linking that
bridge," he said
Estrada encourages all
students of all backgrounds to
participate in the Black Histo-
ry Month events.
"A lot of individuals may
not realize or understand
about some of the boundaries
that exist today in society," he
said "These events can serve
as a eye opener."
Black History Month
Activities include:
Monday
Ashra Kweii, a historian who
traces Western civilization
back to roots in Africa and an-
cient Egypt, will deliver a lec-
ture sponsored by Alpha Phi
Alpha fraternity at 7 p.m. in the
K-State Student Union's K and
S ballrooms.
Tuesday:
Author Lawrence Ross will speak
about the influence of black
Greek organizations in his lecture,
"The Divine Nine: History of Af
itOfl American Fraternities and
Sororities," at 8 p.m. in the Linton^
Forum Hall. It is presented by the

er Wrong, Brother Right" 7 p.m, in

tionships and the work force.

Mans journey into the wild sets example for celebration of nature
BLAKE
OSBORN
Illustrations Christina Forsberg | < Oil H. IAS
In high school, I read Ion Krakauer's
"Into the Wild." a true story about Chris
McCandless, a young man who was found
dead in April 1992 in
Alaska As an impres-
sionable high-school
student. I was intrigued
by this fascinating sto-
ry, and 1 remember fin-
ishing the book on the
verge of tears
After a two-year
journey along the West
Coast, McCandless
thought he could sur
vive alone in the Alas-
kan wilderness Sadly,
he starved to death.
Ever since I read
the novel, the story has haunted me. Two
years later, during fall 2007. the movie adap-
tion of the book starring Sean Penn was re-
leased in theaters. After I saw the movie.
the images of his death made the story more
vivid and more intense
Chris was willing to leave everything -
bis family, his friends and his education -
all for the sake of freedom and a taste of the
wild. After graduating from Emory Univer
sity, he hit the road and never made i l back
home.
So, what does this story of withdrawal
and wanderlust have to do with K-State stu-
dents? A lot
The overwhelming tide of technology
from Facebook.com, Yo Tube, iPods and TV
makes it easier than ever to experience life
vicariously and indirectly.
David Brooks, an editorialist for the
New York Times, observed how external
ized technology has made us With his sat-
ellite GPS and his BlackBerry, he can call
anybody and go anywhere, all at the push of
a button
However, there is a whole world tech-
nology can never frame - nature. That is
what McCandless experienced. And that is
what we also should aspire to.
We should learn, as McCandless said
in the movie, that "il you want something in
life, jump out, and grab it"
1 am not suggesting you go alone into
the Alaskan wilderness and sustain your-
self with berries, rice and game, like McCa-
ndless did Nor am I suggesting technologi-
cal progress is harmful and should be aban-
doned.
On your walk through campus this next
week, take the time to stop and smell the
roses Weather permitting, try driving out
to the Konza Prairie over the weekend, and
take a hike,
Richard Louv, former San Diego Union
Tribune columnist and author of "Last Child
in the Woods," observed how todays chil-
dren are growing up with a "denatured
childhood." The idea of nature has become
more of an abstraction than a reality.
McCandless made that abstraction a re-
ality. He possessed a foot -loose spirit that
was witling to venture into nature. Though
il cost him his life, he celebrated the gran-
deur of the wild.
In the movie, McCandless said, "If we
can admit that life can be ruled purely by ra-
tionality, then all possibility of life is gone."
It is easy to push a button and go with
what is familiar But life and growth are
found in the unknown College is about life
experiences outside of your comfort zone.
Thus, McCandless' story should be in-
spiration for us all to celebrate nature and
to experience life with an unfettered pas-
sion

Students should relax, learn to give up control of their lives Collegian
With the lack of days off
in the spring semester, here
are a few thoughts on how
students can make life inter-
esting again.
I'm telling you
right now - skip
class at least twice a
month lust do it 1
once heard a friend
tell a teacher he just
didn't feel like go
ing to class, and the
instructor shrugged
and moved on
According to
the Web site for the
Higher Education
Research Institute.
33 percent of college fresh-
men admit to cutting class
occasionally Several US
universities have invested lots
of money and time into fig-
uring out why students skip
Their conclusion? Students
are simply overwhelmed with
the transition to college life
It is difficult, but very
few students choose to skip
class because they are hav
AUBREE
CASPER
lege In truth, they just can't
quite roll out of bed on Fri-
day morning, their need for
just one more hour of sleep
often overrides die
fact that they might
miss another round
of slides already
posted on K State
Online
If you think
the number of gray
hairs on your lit-
erature professor's
head have doubled
since |an. 17, just
wait, Keep check
ing your e-mail be-
fore every class,
that cancellation will happen.
They'll get tired too.
Second, don't pay too
much attention to the pres-
idential candidates' cam-
paigns. Ignore them as much
as possible Instead, figure
out your own opinion. That
might be my job here, but I'm
tired of people taking every-
thing so seriously Chanc-
es are you're not going to de-
ing trouble converting to col- velop ideas too different from
those of your parents, so
don't try. Go with your gut
Then visit the candidates'
Web sites - or better yet.
their Facebookcom profiles
- and compare and contrast
Make a Venn diagram for all
I care, and then vote I'll even
drive you to the polls
College is about learn-
ing how yourself and oth-
ers think, and I figured that
out last Wednesday night
How can 20,000 people show
more unity and pride than
a high school of 200'' Just
keep telling yourself this: we
are all in it together We do
everything as a family It's
an attitude and a mentality
that works anywhere When
you're at a huge house par-
ty and the police show up.
you're all in it together When
there's no power in the resi-
dence halls, you're all in it to-
gether. When it's six in the
morning and Dean of Stu-
dent Life Pat Bosco brings
you doughnuts and you
eat them even though your
mouth is frozen shut, vou are
all in it together.
Spontaneity and ran-
domness are the keys to life

Cats snag
qualifying
marks
By Joel Ascftbrenrtcr
KANSAS STATE COLLEGIAN
The track and field team
left the Sevigne Husker Invita-
tional with two NCAA provi-
sional qualifiers and an event
win
Freshman Annika Schoen-
ebeck finished fifth in the pen-
tathlon on Friday and reached
the NCAA provisional qual-
ifying mark by totaling 3,731
points
Coach Cliff Rovelto said
Schocnebeck had a good meet,
and he said he is impressed she
has put up such high marks as
a true freshman
"I actually think she is go
ing to be quite a bit better,"
Rovelto said. "She's doing a
good job, and she's going to be
valuable to us."
Senior Donniece Par-
rish met the NCAA provision
al qualifying mark in the 400-
meter dash when she finished
third with a personal best time
of 55 32 on Saturday. Her time
is the fourth best in K-State in-
door history, and it tops her
previous best of 53.95.
Rovelto said Parrish ran
well in the 400, though she has
only ran a handful of them in
her college career.
"In my opinion [the 400-
meter dashj is her best race
distance," Rovelto said. "1
think she is definitely a 400-
meter runner, and 1 think she
is now just starting to embrace
that"
Meeting the NCAA provi-
sional mark does not guaran-
tee the athletes will qualify for
the NCAA championships, but
Rovelto said Schoenebcck and
Parrish have performed well
enough to meet the NCAA au
tomatic qualifying marks If
their provisional marks earn
them a trip lo the NCAA cham-
pionships, they will join sopho-
more Loren Groves, who qual
ificd in the weight throw, and
junior Scott Sellers, who quali-
fied in the high jump.
The only event win of
the weekend came from ju-
nior Jason Collett, He won the
800- meter run with a time of
1:52.08

A late start did nothing to
deter the Wildcats' tennis team
as they captured their first dual
match victory Saturday over SyT
acuse, 5-2
The match's start time was
delayed several hours as a snow
storm in the east prevented Syra-
cuse from making it to Manhat
tan in time for die 10 am start
Instead, the match began al 4
|i in . and the Wildcats captured
their fourth straight season open
ing win in convincing fashion
The delay didn't hurt us all,"
coach Steve Bietau said "We got
some hits in the morning and it
wasn't an issue for us "
In doubles play, the Wild
cats saw a new duo in the No
3 spot dominate 8-2 Freshmen
An tea Huljev and Vanessa Cot
tin teamed up for the first time
and topped Ashley Spicer and
jacquelynn Tang From the No
1 spot, senior Ofap klimuva and
junior Katerinu Kudhckuva im-
proved their mark to 2-2 on the
year with a 8-1 win over Christi-
na Tan and Siinone Kalhurn. Se-
nior Viviana Yrureta and soph-
omore Natasha Vieira were dc
feated in a close match, 8 5
"I think this was one time
where the scores were pretty in-
dicative of how things went " Hi
etau said "Wc were pretty clean
and aggressive at the one and
three spots, while we were pretty
tight and ragged at the two spot "
Yrureta led the Wildcats in
singles play from the No I ipot,
with a 6-3, 6-4 viclory. C'oitin,
Kudlackova and Vieira also were
victorious from the No. 2, No
3 and No 5 spots, respective-
ly Huljev and freshman Pauline
Guemas were defeated from the
No 4 and No 6 spots
" It was a place where we had
some adjustments." Bietau said.

When a team falls into a
scoring drought like K-State
did Saturday against a team
like No 6 Baylor, it con ol
ten be hard to recover.
For 10 minutes in the
second half. No 18 K-Slate
couldn't get a field-goat at-
tempt to drop, and conse
quently, lost 63-44 at Brain

in the game
When the Wildcats
made their next field goal
with 7 44 to play, the score
was 55-40 and Baylor (20-1,
I Big 12) was already well
in control of the game The
Bears extended their lead to
as much as 20 points before
the conclusion of the con
test
"1 felt like this is |usi
a game in which Baylor
played well, and we real-
ly just played really poor

dominated in all phases of
the game," K State coach
Deb I'allersuii sml Haylor
played well, and we were
beaten soundly by a team
that came into our arena

K- Stale opened the

half despite not making any
changes in l he way she was

"Give her credii, in the

Yoga-licious
,. Stretches relieve stress, increase flexibility
Sarah Surf ord

I'ln' tree, warrior and tat -cow
poses might sound bizarre to the
general public Bui lo those who
practice yoga, they are just a few
ways to become stronger and more
flexible.
Ana Franklin, founder and in-
structor of Yoga Connection in
Manhattan, said yoga is used to
manage stress, clear the mind, pro-
mole flexibility and strength and en-
hance physical wellness and comfort
"The human body is not made to
be a couch potato,' Franklin said. "By
moving the body in unaccustomed
positions, you are encouraging the
natural flow of the body to keep
itself healthy That's why yoga
works"
Franklin said the breathing tech-
niques and movement in yoga en
hance the body's circulation. This, in
turn, improves the immune and di-
gestive systems
"When we lake the time to relieve
some stress, our bodies respond in
. a good way," she said.
Finn DawsOO, MlbUml dinv
tor of fitness at Peters Recrc-
B ation Complex, said yoga has
. more relaxation and flexi-
bility benefits than other lorms of exer
cise. It also helps improve posture
"It's very much a mind-body work
out," she said.
Dawson said some of the more pop-
ular poses are the downward dog, the
chair warrior II. the triangle, child's pose
and the cat-cow. She said these poses
help in the following ways:

This pose strengthen* the upper body, it also
stretches the shoulders, hamstrings, upper and

ders, feet and ankles,
- Watrtor It: The chest and abductors ate

quadriceps and glutei
The Triangle: One of Dawson's favorite poses,
this one strengthens the torso and legs. It espe
cially stretches [he wast and hamstrings.
Chtkri Pose, This pose stretches the back and
shoulders.
- The Cat-Cow: The core stabilizers — neck and
shoulders — are strengthened and stretched

Kay said her favorite poses deal
with balance, like the tree pose She
said the mind must be clear and
aligned with the body to fully do a bal-
ancing pose
"All poses integrate the mind, but
there are some that do more," she said
"Yoga in general works all parts of the
body."
Kay said she started doing yoga
when she was recovering from an eat
ing disorder
She said doing this type of exer-
cise has made her feel better about
herself
"When I'm doing yoga, I feel com-
fort able with my body and with the
way that I am," Kay said.
Though yoga is a strengthening
exercise, Kay said she doesn't feel
tired after doing it, compared to how
she feels after a cardio workout.
"It's the only exercise 1 do that
I makes me) feel clarity when I'm
done," she said "! feel energized after
1 do yoga."
SEX AND THE CITY: THE LITTLE APPLE
Pleasures of anal sex outweigh potential health risk
This just in: anal sex is
no longer just for us gay peo
pie
As

viduals re-
alize that
I work as
a sexu-
al-health
educa-
tor, 1 real-
ize a grow-
ing Irend of
heterosexu-
al men ask-
ing me the same question
"Matt, how can I get np nirl
friend to try anal?" That is
right, ladies - your men are
curious about the exotic des
tinations you offer
MATT
COMBES
Usually, when ap-
proached, i refrain from
laughing out loud and quick-
ly tell the gentlemen to try
praying and perhaps jewel
ry But this begs the question
of what Ihe allure of anal sex
is and how it differs from Ihe
more traditional vaginal en
try
The most recent U.S.
data from a national repre-
sentative sample tonics from
the 2002 National Survey of
Family Growth, which was
conducted on more than
12,000 men and women ages
15 to 44 Results showed that
34 percent of men and JO
percent of women reported
engaging in anal sex al least
once, said Cory Silverberg.
a certified sex educator on
Aboul.com
Since the advent of saf-
er-sex education pamphlets,
the level of risk anal sex
brings about has changed
with every new printing. But.
the gist is anal sex has more
inherent risk than vaginal or
oral sex, even if you do use a
barrier
Why is this so ? Because
of tighter, wetter, thinner and
non-lubricated tissues, there
is more risk of tearing, and,
in turn, more risk of a sexu-
ally transmitted infection. In
addition, the rectum brings
in a slew of nasty issues that
aren't as prevalent in other
situations including Hepati-
tis A, E coli and many other
little bacterial and microbial
stinkers
So why go for it? If done
properly, anal sex can raise
stimulation to a brand-new
level. It's tighter, more sensa-
tional, and let's be honest -
it makes you feel kind of nas-
ty and naughty
Always make sure you
are ready both physically and
mentally for sexual activity
Also, always use pro-
tection. You want to avoid
sheer/ultra sensitive con-
doms; you will get enough
sensation with a regular con-
dom and a slight percent-
age of better protection Also.
avoid condoms with sper-
micidal lube; you won't get
pregnant through this hole,
and the nonoxynol-9 can
cause sloughing of tissues
and cause higher risk of ST1
transmission Take your time
It is going to hurt at first, but
with patience and some fore-
play, it is all go
Finally, buy a large stock
in a lube company because
you are going to be using
a lot I suggest brands with
numbing agents to help your
partner along
So, anal sex is in Why
be left out?

The Wildcats' overall re-

Oklahoma State remained un-

"Today went pretty well
I thought, but we obvious-

"We had some great rides, and
we now know what we need
to work on to move forward"
OSU held a 4-2 advan-
tage in equitation over fences.
The Wildcats then fell to the
Cowgirls 4-1-1 in horseman
ship and equitation on the flat

5- 1 win in reigning

us, but I am happy with how

Riley County political parties to have caucuses for election
By Adrlanne DeWeese
KANSAS STATE UULfct.lA.N
Kansas' Democratic and Republican
2008 presidential caucuses lake place four
days apart, and they will help decide the
state's allocation of delegates in the first pres-
idential election without incumbents in the
primaries since 1928
Kansas Democrats will have their stale
wide caucus at 6 p.m. Today, also known as
Super Tuesday, in the K-State Student Union
Ballroom.
Kansas Republicans' caucus will take
place at 10 am Saturday at Pottroff Hall in
CiCo Park. Manhattan is the headquarters
for the 22nd State Senate District caucuses.
Kansas lawmakers decided in April 2007
to forgo a primary and save an estimated $2
million The last time the stale legislature
funded a primary was in 1992
DEMOCRATIC CAUCUS
Parking-garage construction south of the
Union leaves few close parking options for the
Riley County Democratic Caucus. Alternative
parking arrangements, shuttle services and car-
pooling will take place because of the construc-
tion, said Steve Smethers, vice chairman of the
Riley County Democratic Party and K-State as-
sociate professor of journalism and mass com-
munications
Smethers said Riley County Democrat-
ic Party members told the Kansas Democratic
Party about potential parking problems, and its
members did a search of alternative locations.
However, must facilities in Manhattan that
could have the caucus did not want to open
themselves to a political party, Smethers said
Shuttle vans will run from 5 p.m. to 6:10
p.m. every 10 minutes from the parking lot west
of Peters Recreation Complex to the Union
The shuttle service also will operate at the cau-
cus's conclusion at about 8:30 p.m. A block
of parking spaces also will be reserved in the
parking lot across the street from Old Memori-
al Stadium on Denison Avenue directly north
of St. Isadore's Catholic Church,
Riley County Democratic Party members
also will operate a carpool and provide home
pickups. Volunteers will pick up voters and take
them to the Union between 4 p.m and 5 p.m
Those needing home pickup service should call
785 770 3987 by noon today with their name,
address and telephone number
Smethers said it is difficult to estimate how
many will participate in today's caucus, but
he said he anticipates a "good crowd of peo-
ple" Kansas Democrats traditionally have cau-
cused on Saturdays, but slate party officials de-
cided to switch to Tuesday because of excite
ment and participation with Super Tuesday,

Gov. Sebelius urges
students to caucus
By Sheil* Ellis
KANSAS57AIH(>IIK,IAN
Gov Kathleen Sebelius
made K State the first stop
Monday morning on her Inter-
state 70 college tour promot-
ing political interest among stu
dents.
She addressed students
in the K State Student Union
Courtyard, where she urged
them to caucus with more than
20 other states for presidential
candidate Barack Obama on
this Super Tuesday
She began her speech by
praising the K-State men's bas-
ketball team's victory against
the University of Kansas Thurs-
day night at Bramlage
"By the way. congratula-
tions on making history the
other nighl - nice game here
on the campus," Sebelius said
"But you have a better chance
to make history tomorrow"
Sebelius said in this up-
coming election, new voters -
including young voters - are
taking more i tiler est, indicat-
ed by record turnouts for the
last four caucuses. She said too
many young people were not
interested in politics, and they
currently have the lowest voter

COMEDY GOLD
WHAT IS A CAUCUS?
Caucus: A meeting of the local members of a political party,
especially to select delegates to a convention or register
preferences for candidates running for office
- dictionary.com
..Republicans vole by writing their candidate's name on
a blank sheet of paper, or sometimes by a show of hands,
horthand or nicknames - "Huck" for former Arkansas Gov,
riHike Huckabee, or "Rudy" for former New York City Mayor
•^Rudolph W, Giuliani - will be counted.
Democrats break into groups based on their preferences. If
a candidate fails to reach trie "viability" threshold - at least
15 percent of the vote - he or she is eliminated Supporters
of eliminated candidates can fall in with another candidate
or leave. The voting is done in the open, and debate and
persuasion are part of the process.

system
phase-in
to begin
By Amanda tteim
KANSAS IttTSOOUMtAM
On Feb 15, DARS. used
by students to track their
progress in completing their
specific degrees, will shut
down for approximately one
week
The signs of change al-
ready can be seen on the
KATS welcome page In red
letters just below the "Enter
KATS" button are the words
"Coming soon: iSIS, the new
student system to replace
KATS."
Closing DARS, which
stands for Degree Audit Re
porting System, is just anoth-
er step toward a new and im-
proved Internet system for
K-Stale
"One of the key messag-
es thai students might be in-
terested in knowing is that
we will be shutting down
the DARS system beginning
at 5 p.m. on Feb. 15, and
we're having to reconfigure
thai system to work with the
new system instead of work-
ing with KATS," said |ennifer
Gehrt, K State's Legacy Ap
plication Systems Empow-
ered Replacement Project di-
rector
By Feb 22, Gehrt said all
administrators will be able to
begin utilizing DAKS through
iSIS and no longer will have
access to it through KATS,
Students planning to
meel with I heir advisers this
week will need tQ prepare
themselves accordingly by
printing a DARS report al
some point in the week prior
to the planned shutdown
Students will begin see
ing a new Web page when ac-
cessing KATS beginning Feb
11. The page will have sever-
al different items that, when
clicked on, will direct stu-
dents to the correct system
for the action they wish to
complete.
"The other thing that's
going to happen within the
next couple uf weeks is lhat
when students log onto
KATS. they'll be getting a
buffer page so that they know
which system lo do what in,"
Gehrt said
iSIS will be phased in
fully by fall 2008, al which
point KATS will be removed
completely
Training sessions are be-
ing offered to advisers who
wish to learn more about the
program and will continue
until Feb. 29 The sessions
work with faculty lo define
new terminology and fea-
tures provided by iSIS
"So far, I think [iSIS]
will be okay," said Jessica
Bigger, Department of Jour-
nalism and Mass Comniuni
cations adviser it will take a
while to learn, because we're
so used to using the oth-
er systems right now There
will definitely be a learning
curve."
Though many alterations
are coming to KATS, Gehrt
said students still will be able
to use their elD and pass-
word for iSIS
"We're phasing the sys
lew in, and everything will
be functioning by the time
the fall '08 semester begins,"
she said

Residents partcipate in local library's "Guitar Hero" competition
6y Whitney No*
KANSAS STATE COLLEGIAN
The Manhattan Public
Library was host to a "Gui-
tar Hero" tournament Mon-
day evening for residents of
the Manhattan community
The event started at 4
p m for ages 14 17, and con-
tinued for two hours before
the adults, ages 17 and old-
er, played from 7 to 9 p.m.
Snacks were provided for
those in attendance, and
prizes were awarded to the
winners. Only 32 contestants
could participate in each
tournament, but the ener-
getic crowd numbered more
than 32.
"We have a great turnout
here today," said fanene Hill,
young- adult library organiz-
er. "Many kids brought their
parents, brothers and sis-
ters and friends - more than
what I expected."
This is the first time the
Manhattan Public Library
ha* organized a game tour-
nament for members of the
community, but it is not the
first time Guitar Hero has
been the source of entertain-
ment at numerous libraries
"'Guitar Hero' is one of
the most popular games for
the libraries right now, so we
■re definitely not the first to
do this." said Royce Kitts, ref
erence librarian. "We start
ed out with just adults, but
enough kids saw the logos
and wanted to play, so we de-
cided to change the age group
to allow them to compete."
Three different areas
for the children and adults
to play were set up in the
library's auditorium, two
screens projected the actu-
al tournament play, while the
other was set up lor children
awaiting their turn
To accommodate for the
tournament, the public It
brary asked many businesses
to help sponsor the occasion.
CD Tradepost donated ■
"Guitar Hero II" game along
with a Play Station 2; Texas
Star donated chips and sal-
sa; Auntie Mae's Parlor gave
gift certificates for the adult
crowd. On the Wild Side
sent posters and journals,
The Guitar Hero Compa
ny donated T shirts, buttons,
signs, as well as a Nintendo
Wii and a "Guitar Hero III"
game, and the Manhattan Li-
brary Association helped the
library buy a Wii.
Kitts said the goal of the
tournament was to help pro-
mote the library and show it
as a fun setting to those who
are unfamiliar with the li-
brary or have never been
there at all
It is a good way to get
new kids involved with the
library, and I think they are
really enjoying themselves,"
Kitts said.
Kyle Stroble. a 16-year-
old "Guitar Hero" player, said
this was not the first time he
had been in the library, but
it was his first "Guitar Hero"
tournament.
"I've been here before
but for nothing like this." he
said
Organizers said they
plan to keep the new tradi-
tion of game tournaments in
Manhattan They will present
"Dance Dance Revolution"
and "Wii Bowling" compe
titions sometime in the near
future
This is a place where I
hang out after school," said
Brian Scheideman. 14. "I
can't count how many times
I've played this game, but to-
day the cookies are good, and
'Guitar Hero' is awesome.''
Possible economic recession could relieve stress of college loans
By Corcnt Briscndine
KANSAS STATE COLLEGIAN
The possibility of an eco-
nomic recession could prove
helpful to college students
with loans
"lis always good when
the rates go down," said Ran-
dy Stitt, vice president of
Community First National
Bank
The Federal Reserve cut
base interest rates again on
Wednesday by another quar-
ter of a percent This means
student loan interest rates
drop, which saves college stu-
dents money on the accumu
latin g interest, he said
In my opinion, we are
doing too much to compen-
sate for the market," said Dan
Kuester. assistant professor of
economics "We arc definite-
ly in an economic slow down.
but I don't know for certain
we will meet the definition of
a recession"
A recession is defined
as six or more consecutive
months of negatively grow
ing Gross Domestic Product.
which means the economy
grows at a slower than nor
mal rate The Bureau of Eco-
nomic Analysis reported the
GDP increased 6 percent
in 2007. Kuester said four fac-
tors influence the possibili-
ty of a recession - a decline
in the housing market, rising
unemployment rates, rising
inflation and negative con-
sumer attitude
"The problem's with the
housing market, and I don't
want to mininrne that effect,"
Kuester said.
The people failing to pay
off their mortgages right now
are borrowers with sub prime
mortgages, Stitt said. Sub-
prime lenders loan money
to people with poor credit or
spend more than 40 percent
of their income to pay debts
like mortgage, car and cred-
it-card payments Sub-prime
means the borrowers do not
qualify for the best, or prime.
interest rates from banks, he
said
"The 10 year bond is
what the mortgage rates are
based upon," Stitt said "The
stock market could do worse
during a recession. People
take their money out of the
stock market and buy bonds
| A recession) helps lower
rates and makes mortgages
more affordable"
President George W
Bush said during his State of
the Union address that Fan-
nie Mac and Freddie Mac
need reformation to prevent
this kind of housing crisis
from happening again Fan
nic Mac and Freddie Mac-
are the two government pro-
grams that provide money to
loan institutions to make sub-
prime loans available to bor-
rowers who otherwise could
k not afford one, he said.
"It is a responsibility of
people, lenders and consum-
ers, to manage their loans
[not the government!," Stilt
said
The second factor is the
unemployment rate The Bu-
reau ul Labor Statistics re-
ported unemployment rate
for December 2007 at 5 per
cent The Bureau also states
that Kansas has the I Nth low-
est unemployment rate in the
country at 4.4 percent.
Third, higher energy prk
es stimulate a recession. Kue-
ster said the federal govern-
ment likes inflation to stay
around 2 percent The annual
inflation rate for 2007 was at
5 6 percent, according to the
Bureau of Labor Statistics
"Wages are up, but so are
prices for food and gas," Bush
said during his address
Kuester said when peo
pic talk about the possibili
ty of a recession, it creates a
self-fulfilling prophecy.
Bush addressed pub-
lic opinion when he said he
wanted an economic stimulus
package passed by Congress
to put more money in the
hands of the consumers to
keep people spending money
He said individuals and fam
ilies needed tax relief, busi
nesses needed investment in-
centives and Congress need
ed to cut $18 billion in fed
era! spending on bloated or
wasteful programs.

There's our girl Hillary Clin

I n sure we all remember the
Monica Lewinsky scandal In
BM of her husband. Clin-
ton mentioned lo Matt Lauer
on the Today Show on |an

the "vast right-wing conspir-
acy" against her husband
Now you'd think she was fin
ished there, so many years
ago when her husband left
otttce
Think again
"For IS years I have
stood up against the right-
wing machine, and I've come
out stronger," Clinton
said at a Democrat
ic debate in 2007 "So
if you want a winner
who knows how to lake
them on, I'm your girl"
So if 1 am cor-
rect when looking at
their track records. Mc-
Cain, Romney and
Clinton have prov

san claims thai they are
willing to single out half

are in office

K-State will begin
phasing in the new
iSIS program to re-
place KATS and the
infamous DARS re-
ports This is a wel-
come sign of change,
one that will most like-
ly relieve student stress
when trying to narrow
down class lists for en
rollment and the num-
ber of credits needed
for graduation.
Not only are DARS
reports confusing and
difficult to read, but
they are often unreli-
able and overloaded
with unnecessary in-
formation Hopefully
the replacement system
will restore our faith in
automated assistance
when trying to map
out a graduation plan
However, there will
still be issues during
the buffer period, un-
til the new system is
integrated by next fall.
Connecting pages will
direct students to the
locations they're seek-
ing, and students are
urged to print off a
DARS report sometime
in the week prior to
the shutdown later this
month.
Despite this, it is re-
freshing to see that our
university recogniz-

minutes His jokes touched un ev-
erything from Disney shows to his
favorite college memories
"Actually, the only thing f re-
member froi 1 1 college is how many
tunes un lirandma died," Galifiana-
kis said.
To end his set, Galifianakis said
he wanted to "give a political mes-
sage of hope," as he began taking off
his coat and pants Underneath WM
an orphan-Annie-style dress, and he
lip -synced the classic song "Tomor

To help guide the audience,
Galifianakis had all his messages

had to work other jobs in Ihe

A: Yeah, all the lime It was
kind of a problem because
you're working with a packed
arena of extras, 10 differenl
guys on the court, and you have
these choreographed plays that
we would run to make n look

was cut, or they had to move

The painless truth

Proper stretching should involve ache-free, timed extensions
I Kt last piece of advice a busy
college student wants to hear is that
we need tu drop everything and ex
ercise We also
know that just lift-
ing heavy things or
running until we're
tired isn't enough,
we have to do all
these things cor
reelly for them to
actually benefit us.
Stretching is no
different.
Quite a few
students who actu-
ally make it tu the
gym forgo stretching completely, but
you sell yourself short from some of
the most desirable exercise benefits
Stretching, according to the Ameri-
can Council on Exercise, allows for
greater freedom of movement, im-
proved posture, increases physical
and mental relaxation, releases mus-
cle tension and soreness and also re-
duces risk of injury.
|ust like with weight training,
I here are right and wrong ways to
KENDALL
HALL
stretch. The latest research is report-
ing (hat stretching before warming
up does not prevent injury and in-
stead can cause it Additional re
search suggests stretching before par-
tic lating in certain sports can hinder
your performance
So, before stretching, take a few
minutes to warm up. This can be
something with low intensity, like
walking or using an elliptical for 10
minutes Warming up also allows
your body to increase performance
levels during physical activity,
When stretching, many people
"bounce" their limbs, but most fit
ness professionals now consider this
practice extremely harmful You in-
crease your risk for injury this way,
by forcing your muscles to stretch
further than they might be willing to
go by using gravity Holding a stretch
is much more effective
How long do you hold a
stretch? A study from the British
Medical journal said that five sec
onds is better than nothing, but 15
seconds is better than five The lon-
ger you hold a stretch, the greater
range of motion improvement! you
will see So, if you finish your work-
out 20 minutes before your next
class starts, and it takes you 15 min
utes to find a parking spot. dome: the
minimum amount of stretching is
still good, and maybe next lime you
can linger in your stretches a bit lon-
ger
Another common mistake peo-
ple make is holding their breath
while stretching. If you have ever
taken a yoga class, had a person
al trainer or taken a group fitness
class, you have heard about the im-
portance of breathing Not only does
it keep you from passing out, it al
lows oxygen to reach your working
muscles Yoga instructors will tell
you that you can go deeper into your
stretches on the exhalation of your
breath
One last thing to consider while
you stretch is that the phrase, iu>
pain, no gain" is an outdated way
of thinking when it comes to exer-
cise, especially matching. If you are
gtiatchiitg and you feel intense pull-
ing or pain stop or don't push your
self so far. Flexibility training is a
gradual process, the same way build-
ing muscle is. If you injure yourself,
you will be further behind than if
you take your lime.
According to the ACE, you
should spend about 30 minutes a
week doing flexibility training If you
work out three days a week, you ac-
complish this goal with just 10 min
utes of stretching after each workout.
II you enjoy yoga, free classes are of-
fered at the Peters Kccrcation Com-
plex. These classes are set up so peo-
ple of any fitness level can chose a
class suitable for them.
No student really needs anoth-
er event to add to their planner, but
since stretching offers stress relief,
among other benefits, it's worth tak-
ing the time during the day to insti-
tute a stretching regiment.

in 25 years -
the first-time

um.
Many
fans' days started several hours
before 6a.m. The cluster of stu-
dents outside Peters Recreation
Complex grew larger as the
time grew closer to race across
the parking lot for a spot in
line. About ten minutes before
6 a. m , the anxiety became too
much and the pack of students
poured into the parking lot and
raced towards the student m
trance at B rami age
Hearing the mass of stu-
dents stampeding across the
parking lot, the students wait
ing in the Jardine apartment
complex made a dash toward
the line as well One student.
who hid curled up in a car, and
another, who had spent the en
tire night hidden in the bush-
es near Bramlage, abandoned
their hiding spots and darted
toward the front of the la it-
After the last of the stu-
dents piled into the two lines
near the bottom of the walk
way. the tightly packed wait be-
gan Students employed many
tactics to slay warm through
out the day Some brought
tents, others sat in lawn chairs
huddled around space heaters
and dozens of students spent
time thawing out in the heated
bathrooms outside of Snyder
Family Stadium
Around 2 p.m., when the
line almost reached Kimball
Avenue, students started pack-
ing in tighter and tighter No
one could move until just be
fore 5 : 30 p.m., when the doors
were finally opened
The mad rush of students
after the game was similar. Stu
dents poured onto the court
from seemingly every wher 1 1
creating a giant mass of purple,
this time without the tents and
space heaters
The only disappointing
part of the day. which start-
ed and ended with such excite-
ment, was realizing there prob
ably would not be this much
enthusiasm for any other bas-
ketball game this season. 1 un
derstand KU is a hated rival,
and the game had extra mean
ing for K Slate fans, but the
same fans should show excite-
ment like that for every game
the rest of the seas< to
Will there be several nun
drcd students lined -up just to
get in line at 6 a.m. every game
this season' Probably not But
there is no reason there should
be empty rows of bleachers at
the top of the student section
or students coming late and
leaving early for other games
I also understand students
will always want to camp out
before the K- Stale KU game,
but it shouldn't end there With
the basketball team ranked sec-
ond in the Big 12, there is no
reason that fans shouldn't be
excited for every game
So tomorrow, when K
State faces Nebraska. I hope
the fans can prove the annu

only time K- State has a great

PEOPLE IN THE NEIGHBORHOOD
Cat's Den worker likes atmosphere, location
By Sarah Burtord
KANSAS RMI <:01.1B,1AN
The Cat s Den might seem
like just another convenience
store But its location makes
ill the difference, said Ashley
Eck, cashier at the Cat's Den,
Eck. freshman in English
education, was just hired at the
Cat's Den last semester She
discovered the job opening at
the Career Fair and was hired
nght away, she said.
On every day but Wednes
day. people can find Eck work
mg a two- to four hour shift
between classes. She said she
sells everything from caffeine
loaded drinks to breakfast pas-
tries and gets to enjoy the bus-
tling atmosphere of the K-State
Student Union in the mean
time
Q: Did you apply lo many
other places besides (he Cat's
Den when you were looking
for a job?
A: This is actually the first place

interested m So. I tried it and
got the job right off the bat
Q: What do you like best
about your job?
A: I like that it's in the Uniun
There are a lot of people in
here That was the attraction
fur me in the first place, 1 guess
- it's busy
Q: What is your job descrip-
tion?
A; Cashier, 1 guess. I just ring
things up and stock the store.
Q: How many people come
in while you're working?
A: That depends. Sometimes
it can gel pretty busy in here
- especially between class-
es. That's a pretty big rush 1
would say between 50 and
100 people in one hour if
we're really busy And some
limes we're really slow - we'll
get two or three people in an
hour
Q: What is one aspect you
wish you could change about
the job?

pecially this week was really
fun Everyone comes in with
something to say about the
game, whether it's in passing
or they mention it lo me per-
sonally You can jusl tell how
i'\tited they were And that's
what's fun about being in the
tin ion - it's kind of a cen-
tral place, so you pick up on
the excitement of the game
more than you could running
around campus or in classes.
Q: What items sell really well
at (he Cat's Den?
A: We sell a lot of breakfast
stuff Muffins and juice. I no
lice a lot And the caffeine, I
suppose, usually in the morn-

items that people have
bought before?
A: The funniest to nic is when
people come up. you know, it's
kind of a convenience store,
so you wouldn't expect people
to gel only one or two things
But it's really funny when ar-
chitecture students, for exam
pie. or people trying lo slock
up for the weekend, will get a
massive amount ol stuff It's
kind of odd - you don't see il
too terribly often.

Local schools extend
days by 12 minutes
FROM THE ARCHIVES
By Hannah BiiCR
KANSAS STATE COLLEt.lAN
The Manhatlan-Ogden
School Board has voted to
extend the remainder of the
spring 2008 school days by 12
minutes each to make up for
the days cancelled during the
December ice storm, starting
this week
Four days of classes -
from Tuesday, Dec 11, 2007,
to Friday, Dec 14 - were
canceled because of extreme
weather conditions, said Mi-
chele Jones, USD 383 commu-
nications coordinator She also
said the district had two extra
days built into the schedule, so
since four days were missed,
only two need to be made up.
"The stale requires Kan-
sas schools to have certain
number of hours or days -
Manhattan schools need 1,116
hours per school year." |ones
said. "We all knew we would
need to make up the time to
the state, it was gust a matter
of what was the best option/'
The administrative com
mittee presented its extension
options to the board, which
included adding 12 minutes to
each day, adding two full days
after the scheduled end of the
school year or adding two ex-
tra days within the calendar -
like during spring break, (ones
said
She said after sever-
al meetings and voles, the
board voted in favor of adding
12 minutes to every day, and
(ones said this is the best op-
tion for the district. She also
said most people seem to be
pleased with the decision
"In my opinion, it definite-
ly will make up the lime," she
said "We've had a toss-up on
opinions from around the dis-
trict but no major rumblings "
Dave Co (burn, board
member who first voted op-
posed to adding the 12 min-
utes voted in favor of the ad-
dition the second time the idea
was presented.
"The second time around,
the administration had a much
better plan put together," he
said "It was a more reasonable
compromise that addressed
the needs for schools at both
the elementary and secondary
levels"
Co I burn said the adminis-
tration and school board need-
ed to explore all options to
make the most informed deci-
sion for the students.
"I feel this is the best op
tion," he said "We absolutely
want to come up with a way
to make up quality education
time"
The added time also will
provide an extra two days in
the case of more necessary
weather cancellations. Jones
said Junction City and Geary
County school districts both
started adding 10 extra min-
utes to every day in January to
make up their lost time from
the December cancellations,
and the Manhattan district
has been in contact with the
Geary County school district
to leam how the system has
been working for its schools,
she said
"We've figured out what
will work best for each dif-
ferent school in the district,"
Jones said "The elementary
schools will start five minutes
earlier and end seven minutes
later, and the middle and high
schools will just end 12 min-
utes later"
Manhattan High School
principal Terry McCarty said
the main concent he has heard
from parents involves trans-
portation He said the daily
bus schedule has been adjust-
ed by five minutes to allow for
students and parents to transi-
tion easily into the new sched
ule
"We'll just need to make
sure that we have our bells
and passing periods lined up.
along with making sure the
bus schedule is properly ad-
justed."
McCarty said MHS wilt
add four extra minutes to their
fifth, sixth and seventh peri-
ods to account for the extra 12
minutes each day
He said an additional 12
minutes each day is the best
solution for making up the
missed class time. He also said
adding extra days could cause
scheduling conflicts because
many students become busy
with family vacations, summer
jobs and other activities after
Memorial Day weekend.
"Our schools have always
made it a priority to be done
by Memorial Day." McCarty
said "People make all kinds of
plans, and it would be hard to
get people to come back after
Memorial Day weekend.
"Twelve minutes will
probably have the least impact
and go over the easiest," he
said "Everybody has accept-
ed the fact that we're going to
have to make it up"
The extra 12 minutes will
not affect after-school activi-
ties, McCarty said

Cosby's 1968 show entertains K-State students
■
Will Ferrell isn't the first
famous comedian this uni
versify has had the pleasure
to hear speak on its campus.
In May 1968. the It-State
student body also heard the
stand up performance of one
of the most popular comedi-
ans of the time - Bill Cosby
The following is a re-
view of Cosby's act taken
from the May 20. 1968, Col-
legian.
COSBY TICKLES FUNNY
BONES
By Laura Scott
A mustachioed Bill
Cosby tickled funny bones
and fancies with his origi
nal comedy in Ahearn Field
House Thursday night
"Just sit back and relax,"
he told the audience, and
they did, for an hour and a
half concert of four lengthy
skits filled with laughter
Cosby, whose first five
comedy albums each hit the
one million and over mark
in sales, showed that his hu
mor is visual as well as au-
dial The comedian did not
merely tell stories, he did
them
As Cosby roamed the
stage, he alternated bursts of
activity with moments of im
mobility Changes in facial
expression sent the audience
from laughter to ovation
His skits centered on
topics of marriage, a night
with his brother in a double
bed, his days as an athlete
at Temple University and a
Cosby character by the name
of Fat Albert
Perhaps the best por-
trayal was that of the medi
ocre track star who became
talented when he discovered
a group of awestruck girls
watching his meet
Verbal sound effects
from that of a runner jumping
over a track bar to a crowd
of girls giggling heightened
the audience's enjoyment
of the presentation Such
sound effects have become a
Cosby trait
The comedian's well-
known tales of the woes of
being a child were re-cre-
ated in a story about two
brothers sleeping togeth-
er One threatened the oth-
er that "turtle heads" would
bite his toes if he didn't share
his covers and so it went for
fifteen minutes with a recep-
tive audience recalling simi-
lar childhood experiences
Cosby's humor radiated
beyond that small world into
another of a character called
Fat Albert who had two dis-
likes: he didn't like the Fran
kenstein monster and he
didn't like to run The results
of a confrontation with both
problems proved hilariously
funny
Only once did he em bar
ra&s the audience, as he talk-
ed of the perils of pregnan-
cy Concluding that worn
en brought the condition on
herself, he said, "It all began
with Eve," and added, "I'm
sure glad Eve bit the apple
first"
Facial and body an-
tics combined with a mobile
voice brought the characters
in Cosby's skits across to the

TO THE EDITOR
Columns impress reader
Editor.
The headline for Mark
Warn pier's column drew
me in right away while the
good writing held me The
same goes for Jessica Hens
ley's column as well. I am fi-
nally pleasantly satisfied af-
ter reading the opinion page
of the Collegian 1 give props
to the writers and the editors
for finally publishing articles
that are interesting, impor-
tant and reflect the intellec-
tual spirit of college students.
I am impressed. I have felt
this way for the past couple
weeks of this semester and by
Wampler's example have tak-
en the time to write it down
and let you know. Keep it up

Tickets source of frustration
Editor,
Ladies and gentlemen
who happen to be frequent
readers of the Collegian
Whoever coordinates tickets
for K-State should be much
more aware of the number
of seats that are available -
as opposed to the number
of seats that might be avail-
able - to individuals who
have spent their hard-earned
money and purchased tick-
ets for said seats In my ex
perience, this is particularly
true in the student section
I realize this is not a prob-
lem at every game; however,
the games of the largest and
greatest sophistication are
what count 1 wish K State
could realize that fact. Their
inability to do so shows im-
mense stupidity

Caucus chance to say 'yes'
Editor,
Tonight students and
seniors, Caucasians and

liberals, people of all rac-
es, creeds and backgrounds
have an amazing opportu-
nity.

new direction for our great
country.
Tonight, you have the
opportunity to reject the
politics of cynicism and
embrace the new politics of
hope
The Kansas primaries
have never been more im-
portant This year, we have
a chance to influence the
nomination of a candi
date - before it's already a
done deal in early primary
states.
At 630 tonight in the
K State Student Union
Ballroom, stand for change
with Barack Obama Stand
for a new direction Stand
for America.
You can register to vote
at the caucus if you are not
registered here All students
can register to vote with
their school address. There
are no excuses: Attend the
caucus tonight and ensure
that we are not left with a
choice between two poli-
tics as usual candidates
Attend the caucus to
night and prove to the na
tion that "Yes, we can " Yes.
we students can care about
our country, and yes, we
can turn out to send it in
the direction we believe is
right.

KANSAS STATE COLLEGIAN
CAUCUS | Dropped candidates also to appear 01
Continued from P*q«i
according to the Riley County
Democratic Party newsletter
"Since Kansas is a part of
Super Tuesday, 1 think we'll
have as much interest in Kan-
sas as there will be in any other
part of the country" Smethers
said
The Riley County Demo-
cratic Party last had a caucus
during the 2004 presidential
election, but it took place after
Super Tuesday and Sen |ohn
Kerry already was the Demo-
cratic frontninner
Voters who are at least 18
years of age or who will be 1 8
by Nov. 4 are eligible for par
licipation in the Democratic
caucus. Voters who art regis
tered Democrat or any inde-
pendents or Republicans who
wish to change their party af
filiation the night of the caucus
can participate in Riley Coun
ty, Smethers said,
Doors open at 6 p.m., and
proceedings for the Democrat
ie caucus promptly start at 7
p.m. Al) persons standing in
line al 7 p.m. will be allowed
caucus participation
Once admitted inside the
Union Ballroom, participants
will go to the area of the room
designated for their favorite
candidate, and they can switch
their support to another candi-
date if they decide to At 7:30
p.m., caucus participants must
be in place because caucus of-
ficials will conduct official
head counts, according to the
Riley County Democratic Par-
ty newsletter
The following U.S. pres-
idential candidates will ap
pear on Tuesday's ballot Sen
Hillary Rodham Clinton, D-
N.Y.; Sen |ohn Edwards. D-
N.C; Rep Dennis Kucinich,
D-Ohio, Sen Barack Obama,
Dill , and New Mexico Gov
ernor Bill Richardson
Though Edwards, Ku-
cinich and Richardson have
dropped out of the race,
Smethers said they paid a filing
fee with the state Democratic
Party and still will appear on
the caucus ballot.
Candidates must receive
15 percent of the vote of those
in attendance for consideration
as a state delegate. Smethers
said Kansas's Democratic
caucus results will he used to
determine Kansas* allocation
of delegates among (he Dem-
ocratic presidential candidates
to the Democratic National
Convention in August
Because of the Super
Tuesday media attention and
caucus evening time. Smethers
said Kansas's Democratic cau
cus will draw significant atten-
tion and participation
"This time, there is going
to be some suspense involved,''
he said "It's nice to know that
if I go to vote m the caucus, my
vote is just as important as the
other 22 states in which (he
vote is going on"
REPUBLICAN CAUCUS
The Kansas Republican
Party will have its caucus on
the Saturday following Su-
per Tuesday because its mem-
bers thought having it mid
week would discourage par-
ticipation, said Tim Bagby, Ri-
ley County Republican party
chairman and K Stale infor
mation technology manager
with the Information Technol-
ogy Assistance Center.
Riley County's caucus will
take place at 10 a.m. in Pot
troff Hall in CiCo Park. All re
suits must be tallied and sent
to the state party by 5 p in Sat-
urday Bagby said a Saturday
caucus would gamer separate
media attention and participa-
tion from Super Tuesday
"{Republican Party mem-
bers | chose Saturday as a
means of trying to get out of
the huge pile of states voting."
he said "You'll have presiden-
tial candidates thinking after
Super Tuesday, 'Where do I go
next?'"
The last Republican cau-
cus in Kansas took place in
1988. according to the party's
state Web site.
"It's a tremendous orga-
nizational staff, so as a con-
sequence, I think that's one
reason why there hasn't been
a Republican caucus since
1988," Bagby said.
In order to participate in
the caucus, participants must
have registered as a Kepubli
can in Kansas's Second Con-
gressional District by |an 25
and must provide a photo ID
at the caucus location. Bagby
said After the caucus intro-
duction at 10am, representa-
tives from different campaigns
will present information about
their candidates, which will
take about one hour Ballots
then will be distributed and
voting will be by secret ballot.
The Kansas caucus results
will determine the presiden-
tial candidate who Kansas del
egates will support at the Re-
publican National Convention
in September 2008, according
to the state party's Web site. In
order to win the Kansas del-
egates, a candidate must win
the majority vote in two of the
four Congressional Districts
The following US presi-
dential candidates will appear
on Saturday's ballot: Former
New York Mayor Rudy Giu-
liani; former Arkansas Gov
ernor Mike Huckabee; former
Ambassador and Author Alan
Keyes; Sen |ohn McCain, R
Ariz.; Rep Ron Paul, R-Tex-
as, former Massachusetts Gov-
ernor Mitt Komney; and for-
mer Tennessee Senator Fred
Thompson
Giuliani and Thompson
have officially dropped out of
the race, but Republican cau-
cus participants still can vote
for them, Bagby said If one Re-
publican candidate should re-
main after Super Tuesday. Bag-
by said the caucus still would
take place
"Odds arc pretty good that
there will be more than one
candidate remaining (after Su-
per Tuesday].'' he said

ation than they will to do with

said
After slopping ut K-SUta,
the governor continued her
tour at the University of Kansas
and ended in Tbpeka at Wash-
bum University
Sebclius has been courted
by all the major Democrats, ac-
cording the Associated Press.
She made her announcement
to support Sen. Obama the day
after she gave the Democrats'
response to President Bush's
State o( the Union address Jan.
28.
Sebclius said it has not
been easy to choose which
Democratic candidate to sup-
port, as she has experience bal
ancing being a moderate Dcm
ocrat who has succeeded in a
Republican state, but she said
she felt Sen Obama is the best
candidate
"Frankly, I want the next
president to be somebody who
actually can reach across party
lines - it's the way I work here
■a Kansas," Sebelius said "I've
ran and won in a state where
~tt percent of the voters are reg-
istered Democrat, so I know
what it takes to actually get In
dependents to support me and
work with the Republicans"
She said the main reason
she endorsed Obama is because
of his ability to unite America
"People are tired of being told
how different from one anoth-
er we are. as opposed to some-
body who reminds us over and
over again what our common
values are and what our com-
mon vision is," she said
The governor warned stu-
dents that this presidential elec-
tion will be a tough race all the
way to the end and encouraged
them to be involved through-
out the whole process, begin-
ning with the caucus and end-
ing with the final ballots She
also said students should en
courage their friends to caucus
and vote.
Sebelius highlighted the
r&reftoppgrtunity Kansans have
to ojfre their input on who the
presidential nominees will be.
"Kansas doesn't get paid at
tention to very often," she said
Matt Wagner, K-State stu-
dent body president and Obama
supporter agreed with Sebelius
"1 don't think we've ever
seen something like this before
in the state of Kansas in the area
of politics this early in the stag-
es of the national race," Wag-
ner said "I think this will bring
much more awareness for our
students 1 think this is one
w ay in which we will see excite
men! for Super Tuesday as well
as the Republican race coming
up on the 9th"

of K- State Students for Obama.
said when he first heard the
governor was coming to cam-
pus to endorse Obama, he de-
cided he would not miss hear-
ing her for anything.
America said he thought
Kathleen Sebelius coming to K-
Stale sends a powerful message
to students
"For the hrst time, you have
someone |Obama| who is start-

Obama wins
Joilyn Brown | COLLEGIAN
In support for their candidate. Barack Obama, students cheer during the Democratic Caucus in the K State Student Union Ballroom Obama won with 822 votes
over Clinton's 212, which means he earned six delegates while she earned one
Senator receives clear
support in 22nd district
By Scott Girard
KANSAS STATE COLLEUIAN
Young and old local residents
braved the harsh weather to gather
in the K State Student Union and
throw their support for Sen Ba-
rack Obama in the Kansas Demo
cratic Caucus.
The Illinois senator, riding on
the strong support of college stu
dents, won nearly four times as
many votes as Sen Hillary Clin-
ton, D-N.Y., in the 22nd Kansas
Senate district, which encompass-
es Manhattan and the surrounding
areas. Obama won 822 votes while
Clinton won 212.
"II blew away every thing we
thought," said Bryan Cox, member
of the Students for Obama at K
State "Our goal was to gel around
400 Obama supporters here, and
we more than doubled that."
Cox, a junior in economics
and political science, said it was
Obama 's message that drew a large
number u! students and area sup-
porters to the caucus in the bliz
2ard-like weather
"Primarily that's because of
the message that Obama has that
unifies Democrats, Independents
and Republicans," Cox said. "[The
turnout] means that they actual
ly believe, that they are actually
dedicated to something, and that
politics is not that annoying thing
that gives you a phone call every
once and a while. It's about actu-
ally having an impact on peoples'
lives."
Though Clinton only received
close to 1/4 of the votes, Ruth
Schrum, a group leader for the
Clinton supporters at the caucus,
said she was still pleased at the
turnout
"I'm pretty happy with the re-
sults because Hillary didn't have
an organized group here as much
as the Obama people did, and
that's mostly college students."
Schrum said "We get a delegate,

and that's great"
The caucus started at 7 p.m.
in the Union Ballroom For about
an hour, more than 1 ,000 area res-
idents packed into the Ballroom.
separating into their respective
candidates' groups. From the start,
it was apparent Obama had clear
support at the Manhattan caucus
When representatives from the
two candidates spoke, the yells for
Obama were almost a roar, while
the yells for Clinton were not as
loud.
Obama received six delegates
from the 22nd district, while Clin-
ton received one. Overall, Obama
received about 70 percent of the
delegates in Kansas, according to
CNN

K-State students reconnect to God through sacrifice
By Amanda Keim
KANSAS STATE COLLEGIAN
Becoming closer to God:
This mission, adopted by St
Isidore's Catholic Church,
is celebrated by each of its
members throughout the year.
As Ash Wednesday approach-
es, however, this mission be-
comes increasingly stronger
Ash Wednesday, which
falls on Feb. 6 this year, is the
introduction to a 40 day prac-
tice called Lent.
"It began with the desire
to do extra spiritual prepara
tion in getting ready to cele-
brate the death and resurrec-
tion of our Savior," said St
Isidore's Chaplin Keith We-
ber. "In many ways, it's like
going on a long retreat "
Lent is a retreat away
from desires and cravings that
Weber said often might lead
individuals away from the
Lord Many students give up
eating candy or ice cream as
a way to connect with and re-
member the sacrifice that Je-
sus made for humanity.
By comparing Lent to a
weekend retreat, Weber said
he hopes to emphasize that
the practice of giving some-
thing up for Lent is meant to
refocus oneself on God
"Our primary goal in life
is to come close to God, and
there are practices in our dai-
ly lives that often hinder that
goal, and we should work to
overcome those hindrances
every day of our lives," Weber
said "Every once in a while,
it's good to put those things
to the side A weekend retreat
is a good thing to go on and
help us focus on our relation-
ship with God. We try to take
a little extra time out of our
daily lives and focus on what
it is that keeps us from grow-
ing spiritually"
lenna Kennedy, senior
in microbiology, has been a
member of St Isidore's for
four years. Last year, Kenne-
dy said she gave up ice cream
and increased her involve-
ment in the community
"I think it's always some-
thing that's been useful to me
as just a way to draw closer to
God." Kennedy said. "So each
time you're able to recognize
the meaning behind whatever
your Lent sacrifice has been,
it reminds you of your faith I

don t think that could ever be
anything but positive ."

meat every Friday. Those who
choose to might replace meats

tyJoeVosien
KANSAS STATE COLLEGIAN
One year after students
donated more than $60,000
in the first student fund-rais-
ing campaign at K- State, the
distribution of money raised
through the 2007 K-State
PROUD campaign continues.
The KSU Student Foun-
dation, the organization that
oversees the annual campaign
and award process, formed a
committee to allocate the do-
nations and created two funds:
the Hero Awards and Proud
Awards, said Ben Tryon, vice
president of allocations for the
foundation.
Tryon said the type of
student who receives the two
awards differs. The PROUD
Awards are given to K-State
students who are experiencing
financial hardship
"The students who win
the PROUD Awards are in-
dividuals struggling to make
ends meet," said Tryon, se-
nior in chemical engineer
ing "They have exhausted ev-
ery avenue of financial aid of
fered by K-State These are
students who run into dire cir-
cumstances with medical bills,
child care, flooded apart men is
- you name it. These students
have run into bad luck and
can't make ends meet"
Tryon said the names of
students who receive PROUD
Awards are kept confidential
to protect their privacy Ap-
plications for PROUD Awards
are considered on a rolling
basis, and the application is
available on the foundation
Web site, www found.k state
edu i s tudentfoundation
The foundation award-
ed $30,000 in the fall semes
ter, Tryon said In addition,
five students received the first

Student body VP to run for SGA president
Caffeine Fixation
By Vvonn* (Umir«
KANSAS STATE COLLEGIAN
Student body president Matt Wagner's
term is coming to an end and as he pre-
pares to graduate, student body vice pres-
ident Lydia Peele has decided to launch a
bid to fill his shoes
Peele, senior in mathematics educa-
tion, is running with Robert Swift, junior
in political science Swift has been a sen-
ator in Student Governing Association
aand also an at -large member for the gov-
ernmental relations committee. He is still
an active SGA member
"We both love K- Slate and want to
see the best for K State," Peele said
"I've always wanted to serve K State
at this capacity," Swift said "When Lydia
and 1 decided to run, I couldn't think of a
better running mate."
The biggest issue Peele and Swift said
they want to focus on is making changes to
Lafene Health Center for the benefit of the
students.
"Many students do not feel they get
the care needed from Lafene and this has
to change," Swift said
Peele said she learned a variety of stu-
dent governing responsibilities during her
term as vice president alongside Wagner
The president and vice president
work very closely." she said
The main difference for Peele, if elect-
ed, would be working more with the Kan
sas Board of Kegents and administrators as
a representative for K- Stale students, she
said.
As vice president, Peele has been in-
volved in many changes throughout cam-
pus, including the elimination of the $50

City gives green light for street design
By Cor en* Brlsendlne
KANSAS STATfc COUBGUM
Despite the blowing snow
Tuesday night, the city coun-
cil met and passed all three
general agenda items 5-0
The city has entered into
an engineering agreement lo
redesign the landscaping and
lighting along Moro Street
between Fourth Street and
Third Street.
Rob Ott, city engineer,
answered questions for the
commission before the com-
mission voted 5-0 in favor of
the improvements.
The second item, design-
ing the moving of runway
three at the Manhattan Mu
nicipal Airport, passed 5-0 to
give the airport a $195,000
bond to enter into an agree
ment with the Federal Avi-
ation Administration lo de-
sign the moving of the run-
way navigational aids.
"This is the next step in
the process of a project that
began in the 1990s," said Pe-
ter Van Kuren, Manhattan
airport director
Ott returned to center
stage before the council to
present the tree removal con-
tract along the Manhattan le-
vee
The levee extends about
five miles along the Kansas
River following the edge ol
Manhattan.
Trees and shrubs extend
roots into the levee creating
seepage points that cause soil
erosion weakening the levee,
said Ott
The U.S. Corp of Engi-
neers now requires a 15-foot
clear zone along the levee to
prevent these problems
The council voted 5-0 in
favor of awarding the con-
tract to the lowest bidder, Ar-
bor Masters Tree and Land-
scaping of Shawnee Mission.

Closing up shop
Study shows smoking bans cause drop in business, affect economy
After failing to pass a statewide
smoking ban in 2007, liberal Mission
Hills, Kan , Republican Sen. David Wy-
song is on the warpath
once again to outlaw
smoking in restaurants
and bars
The bill, which
was just given to the
Senate Judiciary Com-
mittee, would force
counties to put the is-
sue on their November
2008 ballots Counties
across the state would
vote to outlaw smok-
ing on a county-by-
county basis
According to the
Kansas City Star on Jan 30, the Kan-
sas Health Policy Authority believes the
smoking ban would be "a way to im-
prove health and reduce the cost smok
ers put on the state's health-care system ."
Wysong said, as reported by the
Lawrence Journal -World on Jan 30, "I
believe this bill will save tens of thou-
sands of Kansas lives'* However, he has
no problem accepting blood money from
tobacco taxes to pay for programs across
the state
Don Sayler, president and CEO of
the Kansas Restaurant and Hospitality
Association, said in a story in the Wich-
ita Eagle. "KRHA has opposed smoking
bans or restrictions because they remove
a business owner's right to choose the
smoking environment in which [they)
desire to operate Additionally, [bans] re-
move the freedom of choice for both em
ployees and customers to choose the en-
vironment they wish to work in and pa
Uoniie"
Arguments against smoking bans
tend to be based around freedom of
choice, both for the owner and patrons,
and economic effects Restaurant and
bar owners have explained how they will
be affected economically by a decline in
sales if a smoking ban is passed.
Supporters of the ban, like Wy-
song, believe there is a lack of evidence
to prove the claim of economic dam-
age. However, a compressive study of the
economic effect of smoking bans con*
ducted by Michael Pakko. research offi-
cer for the Federal Reserve Bank of St
Louis, has shown the danger for small
business owners.
According to Pakko's research, since
January 2007. when Columbia, Mo . is-
sued a city-wide smoking ban, overall
sales in restaurants and bars declined
sharply by 5 percent in less than a year,
This staggering decrease is emphasized
by the fact thai sales only increased 6.8
percent from 2002 through 2006
Pakko said in his report, "According
to local press reports, owners of at least
four establishments have cited the smok-
ing ban as a factor in their decision to
close their doors in 2007"
Smoking bans are not only harmful
to business and state revenue but also to
the labor market According lo "The Ef-
fect of Smoking Bans on Bars and Res-
taurants: An Analysis of Changes in Em
pluyment," published in the Berkley
Electronic Journal of Economic Analy-
sis and Policy on Feb 8. 2007, there has
been a significant decrease in employ-
ment for bars in smoke- Iree regions This
decrease has ranged from 4 to 16 percent
across the country
Local and state governments have
no right to ban the use of a legal product
Christina fonberq | uiLLfcclAN
in public, especially when the state glad-
ly accepts tax revenue from the product.
There are plenty of nonsmoking alter-
natives for individuals who do not want
to be in a smoke filled environment, Pro
hibition failed, and smoking bans will
too.

I saw the movie 'Rambo" this
weekend I saw the most graphic, unre-
strained violence of my entire life poor-
ly disguised as so-
cial commentary.
Bottom line: It
was awesome
The story
goes like this: John
Rambo. a Vietnam
veteran, moves to
Burma after be
ing mistreated ui
the United States
and resides quietly
as a snake catcher
on the river When
tome Colorado
church missionar-
ies enter war -torn Burma to hand out
medicine and Christian literature to lo-
cals, they want him to be their guide
Put simply, Rambo kills the bad guys
and saves the missionaries, who now
have a new outlook on life. It wasn't
particularly good, and Martin Scorsese
would most likely turn away in disgust
But like I said, it was awesome
So what happened to movies
like this, where some evil guy in avia-
tor sunglasses is wreaking havoc and

office to see a movie that will leave
them depressed for a week''
Television is even worse, with
shows like "Law and Order: Special

ing, but with realistic death scenes and

With how depressing everyday

think people could use a little distrac-
tion We need more movies like "Ram
bo", more larger than- life heroes who
soak up bullets like a sponge and spit
out one- liners A TV lawyer doesnl
leave you feeling good inside, but John

1 wonder when the switch took
place - when families like the Cart-
wrights were replaced with the Sopra-
nos? Real crime moved m and honest-
to-goodness entertainment went out,
and what we are left with is an enter-
tainment business that glorifies the bad
guy and makes hardworking people
look like idiots
It would be nice to go back to the
way Hollywood was In some ways it
already has - "Rambo" is a good ex-
ample of that. But it will be a long time
before we can take a break from being
so serious in every aspect of our lives
and just relax enough to watch some
entertaining TV Maybe well let some
plot holes go even if it's not "realistic"
enough
Until that time, 1 think I'll just

Professor develops relationships to help students learn
By Jcnn* Scavuzxo
KANSAS STATE i HL1 Mil A\
Through his compassion-
ate teaching style and relent-
less aim to create light bulbs
in students' minds, math pro-
fessor Dale Hawkinson has
become (amous on campus
for turning the daunting sub-
ject into an area of confi-
dence for K-Stalc students.
Hawkinson, who has been
a math professor at K. State
for 26 years, teaches inter
mediate algebra, college alge
bra, general calculus and lin-
ear algebra.
He said helping his stu-
dents make the connection
between what they already
know and what they aspire
to know is his ultimate goal
each day in the classroom
He does this best by meet
ing individually with as many
indents as he can
"Talking with students
one-on-one best helps me
find out what they're having
trouble understanding and
helps them tie that to some-
thing they already know,"
Hawkinsun said "There is a
tendency for students to see
math as a box with 600 con-
fusing things in it, and I help
them to deconstruct that box
and understand what they're
being asked to do. I don't give
them direct answers, but ask
them questions to lead them
in where they want to go."
Hawkinson said having a
personable relationship with
each of his students and hav
ing the freedom to adapt the
course and materials to his
students are the most valu-
able ways to help his students
comprehend math concepts
at the collegiate level.
"Developing a relation-
ship with each student, as
much as they'll allow me, is
my favorite aspect of teach-
ing math," Hawkinson said
"There has to be some level of
connection between the stu-
dent and professor, and see-
ing someone think through
the question and discover
they can actually answer it
is what 1 work for each day.
My relationship with my stu-
dents is open, respectful and
friendly."
Some of his students
are appreciative of Hawkin-
son's personable teaching ap-
proach and believe it helps
them better understand the
material.
"His class is set up for
success - he helps you bring
out what you know and ap-
ply it to what you're learn-
ing," said Sean Steele, fresh
man in open option.
Steele is in Hawkinson's
college algebra class
"He takes it slow and
breaks it up into easy sec-
tions I don't look at him as
a professor but as a friend
who's helping us with math
I am much more comfortable
and confident to do math on
my own now, and he's a real-
ly easy guy to talk to"
Hawkinson is a graduate
of K State and said he did not
decide to teach until his junior
year. He said he changed his
major five times after starting
in electrical engineering. He
began considering math edu-
cation because math had al-
ways been his favorite subject
in school.
He found a job open-
ing for a temporary instruc-
tor on campus in 1981, so he
applied for and was instantly
hired. He said he worked for
three years as a temporary in-
structor in the math depart-
ment. Once the university
administration changed the
structure of intermediate al-
gebra, Hawkinson became a
full-time professor.
Hawkinson said he has
developed as a teacher over
the years through listening to
students and their concerns
with math He also bettered
his teaching skills through
observing professors he ad-
mired and communicating
with his large family, which
includes 1 1 children and nine
grandchildren
"Watching other good
teachers and talking to stu-
dents has most developed
me as a teacher," Hawkinson
said. "There were a few pro-
fessors here that were really
good at teaching in the sense
of not telling but leading The
greatest lesson I have learned
is to be slow to speak and
quick to listen "
"Being married and having
children has been the greatest
contribution with learning to
teach Character and concern
Jonathan Knight | 'Oil Hi, IAN
i Hawkinson, math professor, said he tries to help students better understand math problems. Hawkinson
also said his understanding and patient nature comes from having a large family, which includes 1 1 children ami
nine grandchildren.
for others is developed in the
home, and those are inipor
tant factors in teaching"
Hawkinson's patience.
soothing voice, calming char-
acter and friendly demean-
or have made impressions on
many across campus
"He's a very patient and
thorough man, and he be
lieves anyone can learn," said
|udilh Lynch, director ol the
academic assistance center I
once heard a student describe
him perfectly in a quote -
Dale Hawkinson could teach
algebra to a rock"'
Students said they en-
joy his acquired listening ap
proach, as well as his step-by
step teaching method
"Mr Hawkinson is very
willing to take time out of his
day to help you. no mailer
how busy he is," said Misty
Davis, sophomore in hu
man nutrition and student in
Hawkinson's general calcu
lus class. "He tells us how to

Language program helps non-native speakers succeed in U.S. classes
By Holly Campbell
KANSAS STAT I: COLLEUIAN
For Ann Carter, leaching
English to non-native speak-
ers meant combining her
background in English with
her love of other cultures
Carter has been an in-
structor of English as a second
language with K-Slate's Eng-
lish Language Program since
it began in 1986, she said.
K-Statc's ELP provides
international students with a
heavy dose of English instnic-
tion, said Enid Cocke, instruc
tor and ELP founder Students
in the intensive program take
18 hours of English instruc-
tion, Cocke said
"Undergraduates are ad-
mitted completely on their ac-
ademic credentials They do
not have to submit a language
score up front to be admit-
ted," said ELP director Mary
Wood
Students take a place-
ment test upon arriving at
K Stale to determine their lev
els of English comprehension.
Cocke said.
The ELP is undergoing
accreditation. Cocke said The
process of becoming accredit
ed by a national commission,
which can take almost two
years, involves the staff at-
tending a workshop, a year-
long self -study, submitting nu-
merous documentation and a
four day site visit, Cocke said.
The ELP includes stu-
dents like Dai Wei. freshman
in electrical engineering, who
came from China and is now a
full-time ELP student So far.
WW said he is enjoying life at
K-Slate
"It is a quiet place, and
the people here are nice and
friendly." he said.
Prior to the program's ex-
istence. K State had to turn
away students who did not
know enough English to keep
up in regular classes, Cocke
said
"At that point, the de-
partments were saying to stu
dents, Your English isn't good
enough, so go some place else
and study at an intensive Eng
lish program and then come
here," Cocke said "And of
course, the students went [to
other universities) and stayed
there, so we were losing very
good students who were ful-
ly qualified in their disciplines
but just needed some more
English."
In response to an urgent
demand among graduate pro-
grams to allow international
students into K State, Cocke,
a I hen -instructor in the Eng-
lish department, spent a year
researching the possibility of
having an intensive English
program, Cocke said.
The program admitted its
first students in fall 1986
The ELP is required to be
self-sufficient, meaning there
must be enough students en-
rolling to cover all costs of
running the program, Cocke
said.
"I know the provost was
very relieved when, from the
first semester, we were in the
black," Cocke said.
"Traditionally, a lot of
[ELP students | were peo-
ple from abroad who simply
wanted to improve their Eng-
lish and applied directly to
us," Cocke said, but the pro
gram is now largely students
who want to earn degrees at
K-State
From its first year, the
program gradually built up,
and then, after the Sept. 11,
2001, attacks students had
difficulty obtaining visas, and
the program had a decrease in
size. Carter said
Over the past few years
new recruitment efforts, par
ocularly in Saudi Arabia and
China, have greatly increased
the ELP's enrollment numbers
with the possibility uf growing
even larger, Carter said
"We started with two or
two-and-a-half [class| lev-
els and three instructors, and
1 think the first semester we
had 56 students." Cocke said.
This semester, there are
167 students from 21 coun-
tries enrolled full-time in the
ELP
There are 16 full-time in-
structors and three who split
their time between teaching
and administration, Wood
said.
Wei said his favorite parts
of ELP classes are listening
and speaking practice
In class, a variety of re-
sources - including textbooks,
videos and real -world materi-
als, like The New York Times
- are used to help students
improve their English, Carter
said,
Classes are taught entire-
ly in English; students some-
times firing bilingual diction-
aries, but they are encouraged
to stop using them in interme-
diate and advanced classes,
she said
KSlates ELP is differ
ent than many other univer
sities" because it has its own
language lab, with special
software and supplementa-
ry learning materials, Wood
said
Also beneficial is the
ELP's advising staff, Wood
said
\ opposed to academic
advising, this staff helps stu-
dents deal with life in a new
country
"I know our advising
staff has helped with things
like roommate problems or
food problems, or they have
found them soccer teams to
play on or jazz ensembles
to play with," Wood said.
"They're there lo help stu
dents make that transition
into a community ."
Like their students, F.1.P
instructors face a variety ol
difficulties.
"You could have a imp
uf abilities within a class, so
there's the challenge of niak
ing sure everybody is learning
and being challenged," Carter
mU "Pw out- perton, the Im
son's a little hard, fof Utotil
er person it's a little easy
"Sometimes interna
tional students don't want to
take an English class at the
university, understandably
But based on our assessment.
they wouldn't succeed in toe
university, and they can be
frustrated
"We're very happy lor
them to succeed and gu on,
but if we know the COMIC-
es are good that I hey will tail
because of English, il is our
job to protect them The de
partinenls uf the university
ask that of us. It's our job mil
to let a student out until that
student can succeed in the
program"
Students like Wei depend
on ELP instructors and staff
lo help them through life at
K State
"(ELP instructors! P w
me advice on how lo improve
my English Also, when I ask
questions, they arc very M
tient, listen and intw«r, Wei
said.
Despite the challenges
she laces in her occupation.
Carter said she is happy to do
her job in the ELP
It s realty wonderful to
have the variety of students
in each class from differ-
ent cultures, getting to know
them It's a very reward in;;
job," Carter said

Will Ferrell stars in new movie about an old subject
By Joel Jetlison
KANSAS STATU 111 IH, IAN
In 1976, there were crazy clothing styles,
bin hair and very different attitudes as compared
to the present.
There were also two basketball leagues at
the time the National Basketball Association
and the American Basketball Association. In
Will Ferrell 's new sports-related movie, "Semi
Pro." the focus is the final season of the ABA
and its pending merger with the larger NBA
The AHA stood apart from the NBA with
the use of a 30 second shot clock and a 3-poinl
line. In MOM ways, the ABA was as different
from the. other league as 1976 is from 2008 Fer
rell described the 1970s as a fun time period to
depict in a movie
"I think it's kind of a remarkable time pe-
rn id where, when we look back and think back
if clothing styles and hairdos and attitudes.
that was actually a time period that happened,"
Ferrell said "People actually wore the clothes
they wore and looked the way they looked and
thought. 'I'm looking great. I will never get high-
er than this'"
While the ABA produced such future NBA
stars as Julius Erving, George Cervin, Moses
Malone and Atlis Gilmore, other players who
made up the league were from the regular work
ing class and had regular jobs when they wercn i
playing
While the league was considered profession
al. not all salaries were comparable throughout
the league's nine seasons, and financial prob
lems caused many teams to close operations,
similar to the plight of many semi professional
teams and leagues that struggle to exist today
Ferrell described one instance of a contract dis-
cussion as an example ol why the league had a
semi professional feel to it.
"I was reading something recently that this
one guy wanted $10,000 and a new refrigerator,
and they came back, and the counter offer was
$10,000 and a used refrigerator, and he said. I
will take it,*" he said.
Some of Ferrell 's research came from the
book "Loose Balls: The Short Wild Life u( the
American Basketball Association" by Terry Plu-
to The book features memorable stories from
various former players about the league and its
players, including one of Ferrell's favorites.
"| One | of the classic stories |was when]
Marvin Barnes, who played for the St. Louis
Spirit, refused to fly on a plane that was chang-
ing time zones because he was afraid it was a

Vitale to return to broadcasting
THfc ASJOOOTD PRt.ss
Say something Anything

made him famous But Dick
Vitale couldn't Tears welled
up in his eyes as he imagined
his beloved career crashing to
an end
Then the doctor suggest-
ed he count to 10. And with
i he simplest of words, Vitale
heard his own voice again for
the first time in weeks.
ESPN's hyperkinetic
college basketball announcer
will call his first game in more
than two months Wednesday
after recovering from throat
surgery It was the crudest
of ailments fur the man who
yelled his way to becoming a
household name. His treat-
ment"' A ban on speaking
"There was a moment
there I thought I'd never be
behind a microphone again."
Vitale said Monday on a con-
ference call, sounding a bit
subdued but very much like
himself
Told he could return to
the air in early February, Vi-
tale cheeked the schedule and
found some serendipitous
liming: He could make his
comeback on the biggest of
stages, the Duke North Caro
lina game.
Vitale wasn't allowed to
utler a word between his Dec
18 surgery and a [an 13 due-
tor's appointment And when
he got the long-awaited go-
ahead, he opened his mouth
and nothing came out.
Viewers might not have
noticed anything Ihe last few
years, but the 68- year old vi
tale conceded he was "bluff-
ing" his way through games.
"I'm going to tell you,
every game I was a worried,
nervous wreck about what
was coming out of my throat,"
he said
He was always hoarse;
his throat was constantly
sore. After many a game, he
was on the phone with his
boss at ESPN, Dan Steir, cry-
ing.
"That's how really down
I was," Vitale said. "I can't go
to the game and just enjoy
doing the game and be excit
ed about doing the game and
not worried about my damn
throat"
Vitale finally got an ap
pointment with Dr Steven
Zeitels of Massachusetts Gen-
eral Hospital, a specialist who
has treated Julie Andrews and
Aerosmith lead singer Steven
Tyler Zeitels found ulcers on
his left vocal cord and said
there was a chance they were
cancerous The news was
good: No cancer Not speak-
ing wasn't so hard, Vitale in
sisted, which becomes more
believable considering com-
plications from the surgery
resulted in bladder problems
that distracted him from hit
original ailment.

season, sim-

ilar to what

JOEl
seen with
months of
JELLISON
headlines re-
lated to the US Congress.
These headlines will ap-
pear thanks to the 18-1 New
England Patriots and Oieir ilie
gal videotaping of teams.
If you thought "Spygate,"
as it is now called, was put to
rest early in the season, then
you were surprised last week
when Sen, Arlen Specter,
R-Pa , raised questions about
NFL Commissioner Roger
Goodell's handling of the case
Mostly, Specter is con-
cerned with the quick response
of destroying all evidence and
ignoring reports from for-
mer Patriots employees who
claimed the team's practice of
taping teams was not new.
These concerns came from
Super Bowl XXXIX when
Specter's home state Phil add
phia Eagles lost 24-21 to the
Patriots
For Specter, the Eagles'
loss in that Super Bowl, cou-
pled with the recent "Spygate"
news, has led him to personal-
ly investigate whether the Patri-
ots have been cheating through
their Super Bowl wins.
If Specter is right and
strong evidence comes to light
to prove the Patriots' guilt, it
could provide clues as to how
the Patriots were able to win
three Super Bowls in four
years, each time by a field goal.
Maybe the Patriots just sat
back and waited to strike until
the end of the game when they
could use their secret scouting
to maneuver through the de-
fense and set up the game -win-
ning field goal
Ignoring Patriots quarter-
back Tom Brady's massive suc-
cess. Specter said he thinks
the quarterback possibly knew
where to pass it depending on
the defense.
Using these techniques,
which have been called cheat
ing by outsiders, is nothing
new, some former players, in-
cluding ESPN analyst and for-
mer Eagles quarterback Ron
laworski. are saying.
laworski claimed last week
his team knew some defensive
sets and coverages going into
games and devised a system of
the backup quarterback drop-
ping a towel for Jaworski to
switch the play to a long pass
Jaworski said on occasion,
the play resulted in a touch
down, and in his mind, there
is nothing wrong with stealing
signals from other teams.
If the practice is just a
part of the game, then you
could call Patriots coach Bill
Belichick a genius for taping
teams. He took advantage of
some teams playing nice guy
and did what it lakes to win.
Still the likelihood the Pa
triots, and Goodell could catch
a bad rap is relatively high.
While some Congress
members might support the Pa
trials' practices and some prob-
ably wont care, it will be those
who are against it who will dig
until all answers are found
So though the season is
over. Specter will leave no
stone unturned in his search
for the truth If Specter gets his
way, the Patriots might have to
turn the Lombardi trophy o»er
to the Kagles team, which he
believes was cheated
For the sake of NFL histo-
ry, I hope Specter won't force
Goodell to make another bod
decision in his short time as
commissioner.
Maybe sometime during
the off-season, Goodell will
change his mind and free Pat
man Jones But don't get your
hopes up

man said He was thought to be 91 years
gld
He died peacefully at about 7 p.m,."
laid Bob Roth, a spokesman for the
Transcendental Meditation movement that
the Maharishi founded He said his death
appeared to be due to "natural causes, his

Once dismissed as hippie mysticism,
the Hindu practice <>l mind control that
Maharishi taught, called transcendental
meditation, gradually gained medical
respectability.
He began teaching TM in 1955 and
brought the technique to the United States
in 1959
But the movement really took
off after the Beatles visited his ashram in

ISRAEL KILLS 8 HAMAS MILITANTS
GAZA CITY, Gaza Strip - Israel killed
eight Hamas militants Tuesday, firing mis
hiles into the sandy courtyard of a Hamas
police station as the Islamic militant group
claimed responsibility for a bold strike in-
side Israel, the first suicide mission in over
a year
The latest round of violence followed
two weeks of anarchy on the Gaza-Egypt
border that has heightened Israeli concerns
that Islamic militants could use the chaos
to infiltrate into Israel to carry out attacks.
The last three weeks have seen a suc-
cession of violent events - starting with
a Hamas rocket barrage on Israel, then a
tightened Israeli economic blockade of the
territory, and finally a Hamas-engineered
border breach with Egypt on Jan. 23 that
enabled hundreds of thousands of Gazans
lo break out
Israeli security chiefs had warned that
Palestinian militants used the breach to slip
out of Gaza and sought to make their way
from Egypt through the porous 150-mile
stretch of mostly unsecured Sinai desert
thai borders Israel
Monday's suicide bombing in the Is-
raeli town of Dimona, some 35 miles from
the border, set off speculation the assail-
ants used just that method to slip into Isra-
el.
The attack in a Dimona shopping cen-
ter killed a 73 -year-old Israeli woman and
wounded 1 1 people
U.S. PEACE CORPS HALTS
EFFORTS IN KENYA
NAIROBI, Kenya - The US Peace
Corps said Tuesday it had temporarily sus
pended its operations in Kenya following
weeks of violence over a disputed election
While no Peace Corps volunteers have
been targeted in the violence that has en-
gulfed Kenya since the Dec 27 elections,
the Washington-based group has decided
to pull out its remaining 58 volunteers, said
spokeswoman Ama da Beck.
Another 144 volunteers were sent home
in [anuary after the violence first erupted,
she said.
SUNNIS MAKE NEW CLAIM U.S. KILLED
CIVILIANS
BAGHDAD - The U.S. military faced
complaints Tuesday from its Sunni allies
over claims that more civilians had been
killed by American forces - amplifying ten-
sions as the Pentagon tries to calm anger
over an airstrike last week that claimed in
nocenl lives.
The disputes have further strained ties
with anti-al-Qaida fighters considered cru-
cial in turning the tide against extremist vi-
olence.
The latest deaths occurred when U.S.
soldiers - acting on tips - stormed a squat,
mud-brick house in the village of Adwar,
10 miles south of Saddam Hussein's home
town of Tikrit.
The predominantly Sunni area is home
to many former members of Saddam's re-
gime and has been the frequent site of
American raids.
The US military said a gunbattle broke
out after the troops came under small -arms
fire by two suspected terrorists.
It acknowledged a woman was killed
and a child was wounded but said it was
not clear who shot them.
Two other men were killed and the
military described them as insurgents

Relaxing
drink helps

By Monica Castro
KANSAS STATS COLLEGIAN
Served hot or cold, green tea
cart be used as a drink to relax
the body, and it contains chemi
cal properties that are healthy for
the body as well
Mark Haub, associate pro-
feasor and assistant department
head of human nutrition, said
green tea is healthier than other
"Green tea has the poten-
tial to combat illnesses and is an
easy way to increase antioxidants
in the body," Haub said.
Like exercising, drinking
green tea should be done fre-
quently to reap the benefits it can
provide,
Haub said consumers need
to know that flavored green tea
doesn't have as many antioxi-
dants a* pure green tea,
'The best form of green tea
is pure green tea, but pure green
tea is usually not chosen," Haub
said
Green tea, in any form, it
healthy for the body, Haub said.
Green tea drinkers should know
if they soak tea bags in hot wa-
ter for a long time, they will re-
ceive a greater concentration of
antioxidants
Haub said many people tend
to not brew their tea long enough
to receive a high amount of anti-
oxidants
Tea Drops, in Kansas City.
Mo., provides its customers with
a variety of green teas
Chloe Schempf. Tea Drops
employee, said green tea has
many vitamins and minerals that
enhance the Immune system, pre-
venting illnesses
Vitamins in green tea in-
clude C, B, P. P, U. and B 1 , 2 and
3.
It also contains various min
era! a and amino acids, which are
building blocks for cells
"Green lea has polyphe-
nols, which it a natural chemi-
cal found in plants that has mt
□oxidants," Schempf said "Anti-
oxidants help cure the body from
free radicals, cancer, unit -agmu,
allergies and bad breath "
Green tea, Schempf said, can
destroy the bacteria in a person's
throat and mouih that can cause
bad breath
Flavonoids in green lea
also are helpful in strengthening
bones,
Schempf said weight loss is
which
one reason many
people tend to
drink green tea.
Drinking the tea
increases metabolism
burns fat
"A cup with each meal will
increase the metabolic stimulus
to bum fat." Schempf said
Green tea also has been
found to help HIV patients by
reducing some risk and slow-
ing down the spread of the virus.
Though green tea is helpful in
fighting the virus, Schempf said
people need to be aware it is not
a cure for HIV.
"Green tea is obviously real-
ly good for you." Schempf said.
Within the Tea Drops store,
green tea is among the many teas
offered, Schempf said.
The most popular, Japanese
cherry Sencha, is what the Japa-
nese refer to as green tea
Customers also have the
option ill buying tea in bulk,
which are sold in one-, two- and
six -ounce containers.
People's Grocery Coopera-
tive employee Cammie Lehman
said the store sells a variety of
green teas and even sells organ-
ic green tea.
Among the many flavors
are raspberry, strawberry,
mint and green tea with
ginger Green teas come
in tea bags and bulk size
Raspberry -flavored
green tea is one of the
most popular flavors
purchased, she said.
Lehman said in-
stead of drinking coffee
in the morning, which
is high in caffeine,
some prefer to drink
green tea because it
has less caffeine than
iiiffec but more than
herbal tea
"Green tea is a
popular item in all
stores fust because it
has a lot of antioxi-
dants and is healthy,"
Lehman said

Broadway
spoof show
to travel
to McCain
Auditorium
By Sric Davis
KANSAS STATE COLLEGIAN
No Broadway produc-
tion is safe from spoofing when
"Forbidden Broadway," the lat-
est event in the McCain Perfor
mancc Series, comes lo town
Priday.
The production is a mu-
sical comedy revue, featur-
ing songs from many popu-
lar Broadway shows, past and
present, and those classic tunes
will be parodied in the name of
comedy.
The show, which has been
running on Broadway for more
than 20 years, has its own pro-
duction company that handles
louring
Thorn lackson, assistant
director of McCain Auditori
urn, said the group takes part in
a six- week tour and then per-
forms on Broadway for about
eight weeks.
Jackson said the produc
tion involves taking lyrics from
a musical and changing them t< i
fit a theme or idea from another
musical.
For example, Harvey Flfir-
stein, an actor who played the
role of Tevye in "Fiddler On The
Roof on Broadway also won a
Tony for playing Edna Tuniblad
in "Hairspray " In this produc
tion of "Forbidden Broadway, '
the actor, who plays both roles
will be dressed in Edna Turn
blad's dress with Tevye's beard
"[The actor] ends up doing
a medley of Tradition' with a
number from Hairspray," Jack
son said. "You kind of end up
with a slapstick comedy thing."
Jackson also said the pro-
duction does not follow a plot
and can be best be described as
a variety show
Tickets are $15 for K-State
students and children, $28 for
senior citizens, K- State facul-
ty and military, and $30 for the
genera] public. The show will
be in town only on Friday

KANSAS STATE COLLEGIAN
WEDNESDAY, FEBRUARY 6, 2
008
CAUCUS I Clinton, Obama split votes nationally
Continutd from Paget
Obama supporters was not
the only group surprised with
the turnout; the Riley County
Democratic Party also was ex-
pecting almost as much as half
of (he actual turnout
Steve Smothers, the vice
chair of ihe Riley County Dem
ocratic Party, said he was ex-
pecting about 500 people to
show, but was still prepared for
the unexpeeted turnout
"We had no way to fort-
cast flic turnout," Sin el he ri
said. "Going in, we had plenty
of volunteers, but I think we're
going OK."
Smethers also said he ex-
pected that more people would
have shown up if not for the
poor weather.
Aaron Apel, president of
the K State Young Democrats
and volunteer at the caucus,
said the party estimated that
more than half o( the caucus
voters were students, most of
which voted for Obama
"I think a lot of that has to
do with the way that Obama
runs his campaign." Apel said.
"He energizes people, and he's
speaking to a crowd that histor-
ically doesn't vote. He's doing
something that politicians have
been trying to do for years."
The Kansas Democrat
ic Caucus was part of what is
known as Super Tuesday, with
almost half of the delegates fur
Democratic and Republican
presidential candidates being
determined
According to CNN.com.
Obama pinned down a win
in Kansas early in the count-
ing process, but Obama and
Clinton split many of the other
state caucuses and primaries,
Cox, Sclirum and Apel all
said the turnout and the suc-
cess of the caucus will provide
momentum toward Ihe nation-
al election in November
Cox volunteered for the
Iowa caucus in early January
and used the following quote
from a campaign leader for
Obama in Iowa emphasizing
the campaign's goal to contin-
ue its success: "Today we won.
We won today Tomorrow's an-
other day"
Schrum said she expected
other Senate districts in Kansas
and other states would show
more support.
"(The Clintons] know
how to do it." she said, "...I
know what economy is, and
a lot of these young kids over
here don't begin to know"
Joe Aistrup, head of the
Political Science Department
at K- State, said the Kansas cau-
cus was much different than
past caucuses because it actu-
ally mattered in the Democrat-
ic presidential race.
"All 1 can say is that most
caucuses in the stale of Kansas
are not very meaningful, be-
cause by the time it gets around
to Kansas, usually the decision
is already made," Aistrup said.
Aistrup said he expects the
Democratic presidential race
to extend to the next round of
caucuses and primaries and
maybe to the Democratic Na-
tional Convention in late Au-
gust in Denver because of the
closeness of the race.
The Republican caucus in
the 22nd Senate district will be
at 10 a.m. Saturday at Pottorf
Hall in CiCo Park Aistrup said
the Republican caucus might
not have as much influence on
the race because Arizona Sen
John McCain could wrap up
the nomination before Satur-
day.

was one of the recipients of
the Hero Award. Omelas was
nominated anonymously by a
faculty member.
"ft came as a surprise to
me," Omelas said about the
award. "I didn't know that I
was being nominated"
Omelas said his work
with the Developing Schol-
ars program was an important
part of his academic develop-
ment.
"With Developing Schol-
ars, I've been given the oppor
tunily to work with a profes-
sor in the kinesiology depart-
ment doing undergraduate re-
search," he said. "The last two
years I've presented research
at the Developing Scholars fi-
nal presentation. The first year
we received best in show."
Omelas' nominator said
his academic accomplishments
are even more impressive con-
sidering his extracurricular in-
volvement Ornelas serves as
scholarship chairman of Sigma
Lambda Beta, a Latino MM
nity, and was instrumental in
establishing a new scholarship
by raising funds and leading a
letter- writing campaign
"We established a schol
arship called the Latino Im-
migrant Scholarship," Omelas
said. "We've been lobbying for
immigrant rights and working
really hard on these issues."
Omelas is also a mem
ber of Golden Key Honorary.
Phi Kappa Phi Honor Society,
Multicultural Student Honor
Society and McNair Scholars
He volunteers at the Wonder
Workshop and serves as a ser
geant in the National Guard.
His nominator stated in
her nomination that Omelas
received notice he was being
deployed to Iraq, but because
of his level of excellence in
leadership, his colonel decided
to defer his deployment so he
could go to medical school af-
ter graduation.
"His colonel wrote, 'He is
a good soldier with great po-
tential for service to his com-
munity and country At this
point, I believe it is the best in-
terest of the Kansas Guard to
continue to support his studies
while he retains his member-
ship in the Guard'" the nom-
inator wrote.
Omelas said he plans to
graduate in May, pursue a mas-
ter's degree in public health
and eventually apply to medi-
cal school - something he said
seemed impossible before he
came to K-State
"1 never thought of going
to medical school until a lot of
my professors encouraged me,"
he said. "I thought it was be-
yond me. My advisers - partic-
ularly Anita Cortez [director of
the Developing Scholars pro-
gram] - kept pushing me and
saying, 'Hey, you can do this"
His nominator described
Omelas as a humble, "unsung

hero," always working to im-
prove his environment and
empower those around him.
But "hero" is a term Omelas is
hesitant to use.
"1 don't feel like I've been
doing much," Omelas said. "1

Tryon said the campaign
offers students a chance to

"K-State PROUD gives

tastic reason to get involved
with this campaign."
ASH | Lent season
ends Easter Sunday
Continued from Pag* 1
fish
Vincent Hofer, senior in
international agriculture busi-
ness, also has attended St Isi-
dore's for four years and takes
mealtime sacrifice one step fur-
ther by forgoing one meal each
week
"What I usually do is give
up one meal a week, and I take
the money that 1 would have
spent on that meat and give it
to some sort of charity around
the world," Hofer said "For
some people, they like to give
up an hour of TV, but if they ex-
change that with surfing the In-
ternet, it's done them no good.
When we're little, we give up
candy, and every time we think
of candy, we think of Lent and
our relationship with God It
refreshes my memory of what
Lent is all about by giving up
that meal one day a week."
Some of the actions asso-
ciated with Lent include fast-
ing, praying and giving. Hofer
said, explaining these actions
encompass what it means to be
true to God and one's faith.
St Isidore's offers sever-
al participatory options during
the time of Lent Weber said
the church holds special re-
treats, Bible studies and class-
es as well as mass. The church's
usual Sunday services also will
focus on repentance
"There is also the com-
munal penance that we all do
as a church," Weber said. "It is
something very simple, yet it is
something that, when we all do
it together, it helps us build a
sense of community and disci-
pline in our lives"
The key to being success-
ful during Lent is discipline
Not only must individuals dis-
cipline themselves to avoid
whatever they have decided to
give up, but they must also dis-
cipline themselves to create a
renewed relationship with the
Lord, Weber said.
"What I would recom-
mend is that a person would
pick one thing that they really
need to work on in their spin-
tual lives and then pick sorQE
thing they can do during tijfa
40 days." Weber said. "People
who are new to Lent try to fo-
cus on a variety of activities,
but obviously if we pick too
much then we get burnt out.
If we pick one thing and real-
ly focus on it for 40 days, it can
really help us grow spiritually."
The 40 days of sacrifice
are meant to leave participants
with a newfound appreciation
for their faith
"I guess at the very heart
of it all is that the things that
1 indulge in on a basis that it
too often are the things that
are taking me away from Godf
Kennedy said "Hopefully th«
will reconnect me with my
faith"
The Lenten ceremonii
conclude during Easter week-
end and the celebration djf
Christ's resurrection.
"When we do so met him
that's difficult to do. it remind*
us of how Jesus went the e*
tra mile for us, how Jesus we*
through some very difficult
times for us, for our salvation?
Weber said "It helps us under-
stand a little bit more what Je-
sus went through"

Herrman said it is hard to

of how difficult is it to find stu-
dents with boats
"Obviously, when you're
in college, a lot of people don't

Court general
Young's emotional play
leads to crucial minutes
By Jot Bergkamp
RAMUS SUn CQUJKBAM
Few who watch senior
guard Blake Young would be
able to say he does not play
with heart and emotion He
plays the role of the court
general on defense and offen-
sively he knows his place as
well
"There are times where 1
might be open, but I know we
can get an even better look 1
just try to get the ball to the
best possible place to score
from," Young said.
During Ins first season
with the Wildcats, Young was
forced to play out of posi-
tion for many of the minutes
he logged last year. After fi-
nally returning to his natural
off-guard position, Young has
stepped in and played like the
type of basketball player for-
mer K-Statc head coach Bob
Huggins recruited. Only he
and freshman Michael Beas-
ley have started all 20 games
this season.
He also plays with the
intensity that only a few oth-
er Big 12 Conference play-
ers can rival. The all-out hus-
tle Young brings to the team
might appear to be less re-
fined than others, but when
you look at where he came
from, it fits As reported by
GoPowetcatcom in Novem-
ber, Young was - to a degree
- saved by the game of bas-
ketball
His high school coach
Kevin Love pulled him off
the Orlando, Fla., streets and
introduced him to Midnight
Madness, a type of basketball
camp designed to keep youth
off the streets Young still has
a deep relationship with his
Oak Ridge high school coach,
and they still talk nearly ev-
ery day. The player-coach re-
lationship is mutual, as Love
is no stranger to Bramlage
Coliseum.
While coach Love is re-
sponsible for helping to mold
Young into the player he is
today, fans can credit Hug
gins for bringing Young to
Manhattan from Daylona
Beach Community College.
After Huggins' departure fol-
lowing the 2006-07 season,
Young said he understood
the move.
"I know it was a tough
decision for him to leave ev-
eryone he brought here, but
(here's nothing like being able
to go back home," he said. "It
was a life long goal for him,
and it wouldn't be like him to
not achieve his goals."
Huggins might have left
K-State for West Virginia,
but he left behind a talented
freshman class, which Young
said he has been thrilled to
be able to play with
"It's been so much fun,
on and off the court. I'm so
blessed tu get to know these
guys," he said, "Everyone has
such a great personality on
this team. I'm just so blessed
to be in this position."
Being one of only three
seniors on the squad has giv-
en Young an increased role
of leadership playing with a
group of such gifted fresh-
men
"I' feel it's my job to
let these young guys know
how the game is going to be
played, but these guys are
smart - they pick everything
up quick and we go from
there," he said "I pretty much
do all the talking on defense,
and Clent |Slewartj controls
the game and the talking on
offense"
Mentoring freshmen
might not have been what
Young signed up for initially,
but it's certainly a role he has
had success with So far this
season, Young has either led
or been tied for the lead in
four separate team-statistical
categories, including three -
point -shots made, assists, re
bounds and steals His five-
assist and zero-turnover per-
formance against Kansas this
past Wednesday - a game in
which he also received stitch-
es because of a collision with
Kansas' senior guard Russell
Robinson - speaks volumes
to the attitude he brings to
the team.
Back in his original role
of the off guard. Young might
have taken on an even more
important position as a role-
mndcl this season for the
fre,shmen players to feed off.
"The energy 1 play with
is what I want to bring to the
team," he said, "I want to get

Senior guard Blafc. Young dribbles past Kansas' Mario Chalmm Jan. 30.
every loose ball 1 want to get
every rebound, take charg-
es and block every shot I'm
going to practice hard ev-
ery day, and hopefully these
young guys learn from that."
The two years Young has
donned the purple and -white
jersey have forced him to play
a number of roles, but when
it all boils down, there is just
one goal on Young's mind
"You can't rely on scor-
ing all the time." he said. "If 1
score a lot that's fine, but even
if I'm not scoring, I enjoy do-
ing the other things Whatev-
er it takes to win, that's the
role I want to play"
At right: Senior guard Blak.
Young is treated by the medical
staff during the KU game. Young
was elbowed in the face by KU's
Ruu.il Robinson and received
itttches following the game.

History never ceases to re-

was Connecticut TVo years
ago, it was
KU. Last
year, it was
Texas.
Every
year, there
seems to be a
young team
who enjoys
success dur-

makes an
early exit in the NCAA Tour-

Big 12 Conference) is not care-
ful, it might very well be the
next team on this list,
Saturday's loss at Missouri
(13-9. 3 4 Big 12) was not by
any stretch of the imagination
a fluke III be the first to ad-
mit 1 wasn't al all shocked by
the way the Wildcats played.
Freshman forward Michael
Beasley's post game interview
said it all. He admitted he and
his teammates thought the Ti-
gers would give up, and the
Wildcats stopped playing hard.
1 guess we can all praise him
for his honesty
There is a fine line be-
tween being confident and
being arrogant If the young
Wildcats plan on making a run
deep in the NCAA Tourna-
ment, they need to be able to

in college basketball But it's
not just an athletic competi-
tion Basketball is as much ce-
rebral as it is physical Every-
one must mentally be in the
game for 40 minutes, especially
during Big 12 Conference and
NCAA Tournament play.
It is not a coincidence that
young teams don't win cham-
pionships very often. Many
times, young players and teams
suffer mental miscues Often,
these can be the difference be-
tween winning and losing.
NBA all-star Chris Web-
ber's timeout is considered by
many to be one of the most
infamous mental blunders
in basketball history. In the
1993 NCAA Championship
game with his Michigan team,
down two points to North
Carolina, the sophomore for-
ward grabbed a rebound off
of a missed free throw. As the
clock counted down from 19
seconds, he quickly dribbled
down the court, stopped in
the comer and called a time-
out. The problem was his team
didn't have any timeouts re-
maining. He was charged with
a technical foul, and North
Carolina won the game His
lack of focus cost his team a
possible national champion
ship
I'm not saying the Wild-
cats will make the same mis-
takes Webber did I'm just say
ing younger players are more
prone to suffering mental laps
es during games. It's happened
several times this year to the
Wildcats
This season has been a
learning process for the Wild-
cats Losing to the Tigers was
a good jolt for this team. Com
ing off emotional wins against
Oklahoma, Texas A&M and
KU. it is easy to see how a
young team's confidence can
boil over to the point of be-
ing borderline arrogant That is
when mistakes are more likely
to happen
I believe in coach Prank
Martin's ability to take this loss
and use it as a teaching tool
1 have faith in K State's fresh-
men to take Martin's lessons
and apply them in future situa-
tions.
1 have faith that this team
will combine its talent and
mental ability to make a deep
run in the NCAA Tournament
this year.

Residents voice concern with development
By Brand I Brum back
KANSAS STATE COLLEGIAN
Public feelings about
the downtown redevel-
opment project in Man
hattan have been mixed
Since the revelation that
Hy-Vee and other big
name retailers would be
a central part of the plan,
those feelings have leaned
towards dissatisfaction in
several cases.
There are a variety
of reasons why the final
plan for the north end of
the pro(ect has not met
citizen expectatipns.
City Commission
er }im Sherow said the
largest oppositions have
stemmed from concern
for diminishment of orig-
inal architectural design
concepts, caliber of re
tail being established, and
expectations of how the
project would connect
to Poyntz Avenue down-
town
In some cases, people
said they thought there
was a drastic difference
between what was orig-
inally presented to the
community and what has
become a reality.
Sherow said they ex-
pected new retail that
would add to the area -
not replicate what was al-
ready in place in Man
hattan There are four
grocery stores located in
close proximity to Hy-
Vee's future location
"Part of the impres
sion that we're not get-
ting the stores we wanted
is fair, but we're not done
yet," said City Commis-
sioner Bruce Snead
Certain retailers that
originally expressed inter-
est in being part of the re-
development decided to
pass on the Manhattan
area
Snead said there
could be many reasons
for this. Some retailers
decide against opening
in midsized markets like
Manhattan's or are sim-
ply not interested in ex-
panding at all
"We're out here in the
middle of nowhere, and
national chains under
stand that the numbers
don't materialize here
like they do in a metro
politan area, 1 ' said Bernie
Hayen. director of city fi-
nance.
This change of heart
could also be attribut-
ed (o changing financial
conditions over the peri-
od of time that has passed
since the initial interest
Because of time con-
straints involving eminent
domain, planning had to
be done around retailers
who were definitely inter-
ested in north end inclu-
sion. That means devel-
opers cannot wait around
for interested retailers the
community will immedi-
ately approve.
Tax revenue from
north end retailers will
fund the south end of the
project Expected retail-
ers Include large chains
like PETCO, Bed Bath &
Beyond, Hy-Vee and Of-
ficeMax.
Shops people ex-
pected arc not the first
to come. Snead said He
said they often do not ar-
rive until larger business-
es commit and they can
predict what kind of cus-
tomers will come to the
area Smaller-scale stores

Facilities staff maintains grounds to prepare for classes
By Monica Castro
KANSAS STATE COLLEGIAN
While some Manhattan
residents were still warm in
their beds, the staff at K-State
Division of Facilities was up
clearing snow on campus.
Ed Heptig, director of fa-
cilities maintenance, said af-
ter a staff meeting on Tuesday
they planned to reconvene
in the morning to help make
campus manageable for trav-
el
There were also staff
members who remained on
campus to help remove the
growing snow patches on
campus Tuesday night Cus-
todial staff members also ar-
rived on campus at 4 a.m. to
help clean entrances to build-
ings, he said
"There was trouble get-
ting around, but that is part
of their job," Heptig said "But
they keep the campus run-
ning"
Heptig said the staff al-
ways is prepared for snow
days and works hard to main
tain the roads, walks and en-
trances to buildings on cam-
pus.
"(Facilities] do a good job
when we rely on them." Hep
tig said "They have dedica-
tions and respond well when
things need to be done "
In the streets of Man hat
tan, the roads were cleaned
frequently to prevent road

hazards.
"We treat the streets as
soon as we see snow accumu
lating," said Jeff Walters, pub-
lic works superintendent
However, most schools in
Manhattan and the surround-
ing areas were closed because
of the roads - except K- State.
according to a closed-school
listing on the KMAN-AM
1350 Web site
The streets also were
monitored regularly to make
sure they were safe for Man
hattan residents, Walters said
Riley County Police De
parlment Lf Kurt Moldrup
said since 7 p.m. Tuesday,
there were 26 different traf-
fic-related incidents from cars
that got stuck in the snow or
had an accident He said there
were no people injured in the
accidents. He also said the
roads were maintained, and
people were driving cautious-
ly around town.
Erie Tabaka, sophomore
in bakery science and man-
agement, said he thought
campus was pretty easy to get
around and did not have to
struggle much from class to
class
"I think that it was good
we had class because it was
not that dangerous outside,"
Tabaka said.
'Protect your Willie'
T-shirts sold out
By Yvonne Rami r* t
KANSAS STATE COLLEGIAN
The infamous "Pro-
tect your Willie" shirts sold
by Sexual Health Awareness
Peer Educators have sold
out.
Prior to the Collegian ar-
ticle printed Jan. 31, Anni-
sa Shockey, senior in biolo-
gy and president of SHAPE,
said 75 to 80 of the T-shirts
were left. The same day all
the shirts were purchased
New SHAPE shirts will
be black with a basketball,
and white lettering on the
front will state "Don't be for-
ward with your Willie, guard
it." The back will have a bas-
ketball court with a chalk-
board having x's and o's rep
resenting the players Cur-
rently, the organization has
pre-ordered 25 shirts, and
those who want shirts have to
pre-order
"I still have people ask-
ing me where they can buy
Protect your Willie shirts,"
Shockey said.
Carol Kennedy, director
of health promotion at Lafcne
and SHAPE adviser, said the
organization is not autho-
rized to print any new "Pro-
tect your Willie" shirts with
the K-State Wildcat logo
The organization has not
decided if it will publicly sell
their shirts like the "Protect
your Willie" shirts were sold
"We want to wear them
as an organization first and
see the response of our peers
before we decide to order
more for sale." Shockey said,

Lafene treats 2,000 cases \
of flu in past few weeks
By Sheila Ellis
KANSAS ma b UULEGIAN
K-State's Lafcne Health
Center has seen unusual traf-
fic with almost 2 000 stu-
dents with flu symptoms and
upper respiratory illnesses
during the past three weeks
"The flu has been in the
Manhattan community for a
couple of weeks now. and it
has been found in the KSU
student population," said
Theresa Doyle, health edu-
cator in health promotion
and nutrition counseling at
Lafene Doyle also said the
number of students who have
visited Lafene for flu symp-
toms is an estimate produced
by Lafene' s General Clinic
Because of the influx
of patients, those who had
an urgent medical need that
could not wait were seen
first by a Triage nurse, then
scheduled an appointment as
needed, Doyle added
Kansas is one of 1 1
states where influenza is
widespread, according to the
federal Centers for Disease
Control and Prevention.
People are still being
urged to get their flu shot,
and there's plenty available,
Dr. lulie Gerberding, head
of the CDC, told the Asso-

AUTHORITIES CRACK DOWN ON CARELESS DRIVERS
MONTERREY, Mexico (Re-
uters) - Motorists in northern
Mexico who are caught dabbing
on lipstick, shaving or carrying
a pel at the wheel will now face
hefty fines as authorities try lu
cut down on traffic accidents
Putting on make-up or shav
ing with an electric razor will
cost drivers up to 346 pesos
($32) in the northern Mexican
city of Torrcon from this month,
Mexican media reported on Sat
urday
City halls across Mexico are
stiffening traffic laws as motorists
in Mexico regularly ignore stop
lights, drive drunk or with chil-
dren in the front seal, and carry
passengers in the back or pick-up
trucks Fatal accidents are com-
mon.
SCIENTISTS MAKE PAPER PLANES FOR SPACE
KASH1WA CITY, Ja-
pan (Reuters) - A spacecraft
made of folded paper zooming
through the skies might sound
farfetched, but Japanese sci-
entists plan to launch paper
planes from the Intemation
al Space Station 1o see if they
make it back to Earth.
On Wednesday the Uni-
versity of Tokyo researchers
tested small, origami planes
made of special paper for 30
seconds in 250 degrees Celsius
heat and wind at seven times
the speed of sound The planes
survived the wind tunnel test
intacl.
The theory is that paper
craft, being much lighter than
space shuttles, might escape
the worst of the friction and
heat thai much heavier space
shuttles face on re-entry to the
atmosphere.
LONDONERS SHOULD KEEP TORTOISES IN THE FRIDGE FOR WINTER
LONDON (Reuters) - Warm winters
might be rousing hibernating pet tortoises ear-
ly and endangering their lives but there is a so-
lution, experts say - keep them in the fridge
through the winter
Tortoise experts said unseasonably warm
weather has woken many of the reptiles ear-
ly, leaving their owners needing to keep (hem
warm through any new cold snaps that could
kill them
"The fridge is an ideal method and a prov-
en way of being safe in a changing climate,"
said Joy Bloor. owner of one of country's iarg-
est sanctuaries, the Tortoise Garden in Corn-
wall, where dozens of tortoises have woken
early this year
"It is becoming a more popular method
definitely"
Tortoises hibernate through the winter
but need to keep their body temperature be-
tween 3 and 5 degrees Celsius
Jf it rises above that, they wake up, begin
digesting food and will die if the temperature
falls again.

UFM celebrates 40 years of uniting city, campus through classes
Byvcronika Novosttov*
KANSAS STATE COLLEGIAN
University for Mankind,
alto known as UFM, wis
founded in 1968 by K Stale
student activists and faculty
to achieve better communica-
tion between the campus and
the Manhattan community
This year the nonprof-
it organization celebrates its
40th anniversary and offers
many events like demonstra-
tions and mini -classes this
spring,
UFM's education pro-
gram serves the K State. Man-
hattan and Salina communi-
ties and allows for an inter-
esting role reversal: Students
can give lessons to their pro-
fessors or teach each other.
The motto of the UFM
Learning Center is "every-
one can learn, everyone can
teach."
"The youngest instructor
was 6 years old. She taught
how to take care for rabbits,
and a 12-year-old did a slide-
show about a night sky," said
Linda Teener, UFM executive
director "The oldest one was
98, and he was giving lessons
about healthy living."
Though people of all
ages participate, college stu-
dents and young adults teach
the majority of Tessons, Teen
er said Valuable teaching ex-
perience and skills of working
with public are good things to
put on one's r&ume'.
Those who want to teach
a class that is already offered
or have been an instructor on
a regular basis are encouraged
to speak to the UFM Educa-
tion Coordinator about ways
they can still teach, she said.
Students can log onto
the UFM Web site at www.
tryufm.QTg to gel a listing of
sessions.
Teener said taking UFM
courses is a great way to leam
something practical like man-
aging money or getting rid of
clutter according to feng shui
rules or even getting involved
in sports activities or helping
Ihe environment. Teener said
Some new classes this
semester are Introduction
to Flying, Partner Yoga, )azz
for Adults and Children, and
Soap Making. Another class,
in which people will learn
how to become a radio news
reporter, is starting soon,
Teener said
Fifty of the courses offer
K State credit The swimming
program has been offered for
16 years, and ballroom dance,
golf, I'm' Kwon Do have been
offered for a long time as well.
Teener said.
"The nice thing about
UFM is that a lot of our class-
es are very short," Tfeener said.
"Some of them are only one
time as Friday Night Out It
can be a nice break from a
schedule and you can learn
something, relax and have
a different type of the atmo-
sphere than in usual classes."
One of the most popu-
lar classes is Community CPR
and First Aid.
"So many K State stu-
dents need the class before
they can do the student teach
ing, so we are trying to find
new ways to offer additional
sections," Teener said. "We try
to do it online Students need
come in only to test actual
hands-on, because you need
to demonstrate the skills"
Students who are inter-
ested in learning another Ian
guage can choose from Span-
ish, Arabic, Russian, French
or conversational sign lan-
guage
Sorkcl Kadir, instruc-
tor of the Elementary Arabic
class, said her class gives fun-
damental skills of standard
Arabic speaking, writing and
reading.
"Arabic is becoming very
important in the world right
now Classes will be not dif-
ficult at all." Kadir said "If
people with different lev-
els of knowledge sign up, we
will separate them in different
groups"
Students can sign up any
time until the class slarts, she

said.
Those who enrolled in
the first Belly Dance class
at the International Student
Center said they signed up for
different reasons
"1 came mostly for fitness
and also hoped it would be
fun," said )essica Dworshak,
junior in food science.
Rochelle Doctolero.
Manhattan residenl, said she
wanted to learn a new dance
"I saw this dance but nev
er did it before, so I want to
learn some moves," she said
Student Senate to extend Thanksgiving break to a week, remove 1 -day fall break
By Brandon Stelnert
KANSAS STATE COLLEGIAN
Thanksgiving break
might be a week long in 2010
depending on how Student
Senate votes in its meeting
(onight.
The legislation will re-
move the one-day fall break
to create the slightly lon-
ger break during the week of
Thanksgiving, according to
the agenda
Student Body Vice Presi-
dent Lydia Peele commented
on the legislation last week.
She explained that the longer
break would make sense for a
lot of students for travel pur-
poses.
Oklahoma Stale Univer-
sity will send delegates to at-
tend tonight's meeting to ex-
amine K State's Student Sen-
ate proceedings, said Nick
Piper. Student Senate chair,
in an e-mail to Student Sena-
tors.
Also on the agenda are
three commendations. Dis-
tinguished professor of phys-
ics Chris Sorensen was hon-
ored with the 2007 National
Professor of the Year Award.
Dislinguished professor of
music David Littrell earned
the Kansas Professor of the
Year award K- State Hero
Award recipients also will be
commended by senators.
Senators will vote on
whether or not to increase
the Student Union Opera-
tions Budget Privilege Fee as
well
It will increase the cur-
rent budget by $10,000 if
passed.
A vote will be taken on
four allocation items to dif-
ferent student organizations.
Kansas State Collegiate 4-H,
KSU Inter -fraternity Coun-
cil and the KSU Panhellenic
Council all requested funds
to go on various conference
trips.
The KSU Juggling team
requested funding to be host
to the annual Little Apple
]uggling Festival on Feb. 22-
24.
Only three new items
will be considered on the
new legislation category. All
of which are allocations to
attend conferences.
According to an e-mail
sent to student organization
leaders, budget request forms
are due by 4 put. March 7
in the Office of Student Ac-
tivities and Services in the
K-State Student Union.
The forms have to be
turned in 26 days before the
day of the event.

TO THE POINT
K-State
deserved

Seventeen schools in
northeast Kansas were
closed or delayed on
Wednes-
ycu.iva , 0TH[POINI i ian
way, ac- editorial selected
cording and debated by
to till' ,ne editorial board
M hat and written after
mannai- a majority opinion
tan Mer- is formed. This is
the Collegian's
official opinion.
cury
Four
of these
were colleges or uni-
versities, but K-State
ignored mother na-
ture's wrath and plowed
through yet another po-
tential snow day.
On days like Wednes-
day, professors can be
heard commenting on
low class attendance.
They might blame it on
the late night caused by
Super Tuesday or hope
for some other optimis-
tic excuse, but following
politics, unfortunately, is
rarely a college student's
reason to miss class.
Several vehicles got
stuck just trying to get
out of an apartment
parking lot Wednesday
morning, but they were
still expected to make it
to class.
Common sense would
suggest K-State admin-
istrators should make
the decision to close for
days like Wednesday for
the benefit and safety
of students. Some pro-
fessors might be con-
cerned that students will
lose valuable paid-for
class time from closings
or cancellations, but it's
worse for those who
physically cannot make
it to campus Not only
do they lose class time,
but they are then a day
behind
When K-State can-
celed finals in Decem-
ber, it was because of
falling branches, not
ice. The next day tests
went as scheduled, but
branches could still
be seen falling all over
campus.
K-State has snow days
built in to its schedule,
A break here and there
would be great, but
based on trends in past
years, snow days proba-
bly aren't in K-State's fu-
ture.

Young voters' interest critical to future
By Jessica Herssiey
KANSAS STATE COU.fci.LWJ
"I'm not planning to vote - I'm not that interested
in politics"
This is a common sentiment anions! college students
and has been since the early 1970s
]( is easy to be blase about politics in
college - after all, who cares what
Congress is doing when it's the Stu-
ni guy's birthday? Bui we live in a de-
mocracy, which means we succeed or
fail based upon the decisions made
by the masses The right to have a say
in those decisions shouldn't be dis-
missed lightly.
According to a poll conducted by
USA Today, there are three main rea
sons college students don't vote They
don't know, they don't care and they
don't have the time lo either know or
care.
When asked why she didn't participate in the last
election, one poll participant replied, "I don't know, it
sounded kind of intimidating - going into a booth and
pressing buttons .1 don't even know when I can vote
Is it the first week of September?"
Another participant in the same poll replied, "1
don't care, I dont care enough to care about why I don't
care"
During past three decades there has been a steady
decline in young voter turnout since the 26th Amend-
ment lowered the voting age to 18 in 1971. According
to data collected by the Youth Vote Coalition, there are
42,834,062 U.S. citizens between the ages of 18 and 30 opinion nipub,tau,tdu
JESSICA
HENSLEY
who arc eligible to vote This age group makes up a full
three-fourths of total eligible voters and is the second
largest voting demographic Unfortunately, only 42 per-
cent of eligible 18- to 30-year-olds cast a ballot in the
2004 presidential election. This number is appalling, giv-
en that the biggest election issues often directly affect the
youth of the nation.
The war in Iraq, education funding, reproductive
rights and the right to privacy are just a few of the issues
being debated that could affect the quality of life for col-
lege students Voting is by far the most effective and effi-
cient way for citizens to voice their opinions on such is-
sues and when college students don't vote, they effec-
tively give away their ability to have any influence over
how these issues play out in the future.
Our government was designed to be by the peo
pie and for the people Unfortunately, this doesn't work
without the people. College students potentially could
have a huge influence in deciding who will be next to
lead our nation - but only if they educate themselves on
the issues and go vote. It would be a tragedy for Ameri-
ca's youth to allow this opportunity to have a say in the
future slip by because they simply couldn't bring them-
selves to care
The direction of our nation over the next four years
is going to be decided this November whether college
students participate or not. By choosing to participate,
college students can help to ensure that our country's
next leader will reflect their ideas and concerns for the
future

Citizens should consider themselves lucky
By Mark Wampltr
KANSAS STATE U1LU lilAN
A couple days ago 1 over-
heard a couple at a coffee
shop discussing why the Unit-
ed States
was con-
sidered the
greatest
country in
the world.
"Our
health care
isn't good
Our edu-
cation has
been de-
clining,"
they said
"What is
MARK
WAMPIER
it about America that is so
great?"
1 would like to think this
nervous couple was just look-
ing for some commonality to
talk about, but I've heard it
too many times before. So lis-
ten to these stories.
Sayad Parwez Kam-
bakhsh is a 23-year-old jour
nalism student at Balkh Uni-
versity in Afghanistan who
printed off a paper from the
Internet with the aim, he said,
of bringing up a debate on an
important topic.
The paper, which was
not written by Kambakhsh,
was written about the idea
that Muslim fundamentalists
who have elaimed the Koran
Nate Schmidt | (Olt.HtitAN
justifies the cruel treatment
of women have misinterpret-
ed the views of the Proph-
et Muhammad. After sever-
al students complained, Kam-
bakhsh was charged with
blasphemy He has been sen-
tenced to death.
Erik Mirandette, a state
pole-vaulting champion from
Maryland, and his 18-year-
old brother Alex set off to the
African country of Morocco
to help West African refugees
who were abandoned by their
governments After their time
in Morocco, the brothers set
off on a heroic journey across
the continent to meet people
and sec what they could do to
help out among the villages.
After two years and more
than 9,000 miles, the broth-
ers arrived in Cairo, Egypt. In
April 2005, a day before they
were scheduled to fly back
home to Maryland, a sui-
cide bomber walked into the
crowded market where Erik
and his brother Alex were
walking and detonated his
nail bomb, killing Alex imme
diatefy
According to Kenyan
Red Cross officials, more than
200,000 people were dis-
placed and 863 people killed
in Kenya in the month of Jan-
uary as a result of what an
American diplomat has called
"ethnic cleansing" Margaret
Njambi, a tailor from the Rift
Valley in Kenya, had to flee
last week with her four chil-
dren, taking refuge in a police
station after rioters burned
her house and her shop.
The United States is cer-
tainly not immune to random
and senseless acts of violence.
The tragic lost of Life at Vir-
ginia Tech, Westroads Mall in
Omaha, Neb., and Youth with
a Mission Denver in Den-
ver - are three examples, but
these instances are isolated
and sporadic.
Tragedies similar to the
stories I just recounted hap-
pen every day in other coun-
tries. When was the last time
you watched the news with-
out hearing of the tragic re-
suits of a suicide bomber
somewhere?
The next time you won-
der what is so great about
this country, think about how
you felt perfectly safe going lo
the mall last weekend to buy
a pair of shoes. Think about
how you didn't have to wor
ry about being dragged out of
your house while you were
watching the Super Bow] as
"ethnic cleansing" took place
in your neighborhood.
Think about your abili-
ty to say whatever you want,
wherever you want, without
the threat of being sentenced
to death by the government.
Remember our soldiers
who have made all of this
possible, and then remember
that what makes the United
States so great is the freedom
to even ask the question

Good vs. Evil
All-female cast to perform story of hardship, triumph

KANSAS MAI fc i (If 1 H .IAS
A Pulitzer Prize winning production
with an all-female cast will debut this week-
end in Nichols Theatre
The cast is smaller than the usual pro-
duction and contains only women but is nol
a statement in feminism, said Shannan Os-
born, graduate student in speech
"Effects of Gamma Rays on Man ■in -the
Moon Marigolds'' is an autobiography writ-
ten by Paul Zindel, said Mackenzie Good-
win, sophomore in theater. Many of the
characters are based on experiences from
Zindel's life, said Goodwin, who plays the
role of Beatrice in the production
"I do think the author wrote on a lot
of his own experiences, and since he didn't
have a male figure, that's why there was
none in the play," Osborn said
The play tells the story of Beatrice, a
bitter, lonely woman who lives in her hus-
band's dilapidated vegetable shop She has
two daughters who respond differently to
her constant barrage of negativity, Goodwin
said
One of Beatrice's daughters is Ruth, an
epileptic floozy, Goodwin said, who is dam-
aged by her mother's actions. Ruth's char
acter stands in stark contrast to Beatrice's
other daughter. Tillie, who responds in a dif-
ferent way, turning to science to ease her
mind.
From the beginning of the play, Tillie
grows the marigolds to satisfy her love of sci-
ence and uses Ihe flowers to cope with her
terrible home life
By excelling in science and subjecting her
marigolds to gamma radiation. Tillies char-
acter shows how people can survive despite
extremely negative circumstances, Goodwin
said.
One of the attractions of the produc-
tion is the symbolism and the struggles Till-
ie encounters as she tries to maintain a level
head.
"Tillie is in a really bad situation and is
trying to grow up in an environment that is
not so healthy." Osborn said "I think that
;an relate to almost anyone "

Shannon Osborn, graduate student in speech, during dress rehearsal for "Effects of Gamma Rays on Man-in-
the Moon Mangolds" at Nichols Theatre Wednesday night BOTTOM LEFT Beatrice reflects on her childhood as
the daughter of a fruit vender BOTTOM RIGHT: Tillie, played by Meredith Lindsey, sophomore in theater, gives a
monologue on the effects of gamma rays on man-in-the-moon marigolds.
The gamma rays created positive and
negative effects on the marigolds, killing
some, hindering the growth of others and
creating wonderful mutalions that could
change the world, which is symbolic of the
way the daughters turn out.
The negative consequences of the radia-
tion can be seen as Ruth, (he older sister, is
destroyed by the pressure of her mother. Till-
ie, who thrived despite the constant degra-
dation from her mother, embodies the beau
tifully mutated flower and shows that good
can come from horrible situations.
By the lime the curtains are drawn,
the symbols become clear. The gamma rays
are embodied in the negative actions of the
mother and the effects are seen in the daugh-
ters
"It is a very strong show in the sense that
il leaves you with something," said Meredith
Lindsey, sophomore in theater "You don't
walk out of the theater saying, I hist saw a
play,' you walk out saying, I learned some-
thing.'"
The cast returned from winter break ear-
ly to start working on the play on |an 6,
Goodwin said
The play will run today through Satur-
day and Wednesday through Feb 16 in Nich-
ols Theatre.

statistics in win
By Wendy Ha un
KANSAS STATE COLLEGIAN
Freshman forward Michael Beasley
once again played his way into the re-
cord books Wednesday in a 74-59 vic-
tory over Nebraska at Bramlage Colise-
um
Beasley's 35-point performance
clinched the highest number of 30-point
games in a season, a mark previous held
by Bob Boozer and Morris Coleman
Beasley also tallied 13 rebounds,
which completed his 18th double-dou-
ble of the season The feat tied him in the
Wildcat record book with Larry Conley
for the most double-doubles in a single
season.
"Mike worked his tail off today, de-
fensively and offensively, said K-State
coach Frank Martin. "He earned those
points he got today. I was real proud of
him He didn't just stand around and
watch the game, he worked He had a
guy on him at all times, and he contin-
ued to work."
Though the game might have looked
like a cake walk for No 20 K State (16-5,
6-1 Big 12 Conference). Nebraska was
the first to put points on the board, scor-
ing four before K-State went on a 12-0
scoring run, with 10 points from Beas-
ley, to take the lead The Wildcats would
never lose the lead.
K-State went into the locker room at
halftimt up by 15, but a second-half run
sparked by freshman guard Cookie Mill-
er got the Cornhuskers (13-7, 2-5 Big 12)
to within five points at the 11:23 mark
However, the duo of Beasley and fresh-
man forward Bill Walker scored 12 un-
answered points to seal a K- Stale victo-
ry
"We started to celebrate early." Bea
sley said of the Nebraska run "We were
up 15, and we just relaxed, so they start-
ed to come back We can't do that"
Beasley led all scorers Other K-State
players in double-figure scoring were
Walker, who had 17 points; and fresh-
man guard lacob Pullen, who scored 11.
Leading Nebraska in scoring was
senior center Aleks Marie, who had 17
points. Junior guard Ade Dagunduru and
Miller also scored in double-figures, with
14 each; sophomore guard Sek Henry
also scored 11

Riley County museum offers glimpse
into history of area's development
By Ellse Podhajsky
KANSAS STATE COLLEGIAN
One step into the Riley
County Historical Museum's
exhibits and one will be im-
mediately thrown back to the
days when American Indians
governed the land, settlers
were trotting in on horseback
and the electric washing ma-
chine was an exciting new in-
vention.
Arrowheads, plows, pia-
nos and glassware are sprin
kled throughout the coun
ty museum Each belong to
one of the three permanent
and temporary exhibits, and
all give visitors new insight
into how Riley County has
grown
"Anyone who is living in
an area ought to have some
sense of its history." said Lin-
da Glasgow, Riley County
Historical Society registrar
"I think [the museum] is a
nice place to start"
Museum assistant Sandra
Reddish said the Riley Coun-
ty Historical Society was set
up in 1914 and has been ac-
cumulating documents, pho
lographs, tools and machin-
ery native to the county since
then
The museum has two
permanent exhibits, Reddish
said - "Household Work
Week" and "The Land and
the People: The Settlement
of Riley County" She said it
also offers a temporary ex
hibit - currently "The Tall-
grass Prairie: An American
Landscape" - which changes
about once every six months
The temporary exhibit is
separate from the permanent
two and is a series of pan-
els with pictures and infor-
mational narratives that give
general information about
the Tallgrass Prairie
"The Land and the Peo
pie" exhibit begins with pho-
tographs and artifacts in
eluding moccasins and hand-
carved stone tools from the
area's first inhabitants, the
Kansa tribe The exhibit goes
on to 1 855, the year of the ar-
ea's first settlement, and even
displays the original marriage
certificate of the first couple
wed in the county
Moving through the ex-
hibit, visitors will find tools
used to construct early homes
and businesses as well as
pharmaceutical instruments
and farming equipment, large
and small.
"I think that for a new-
comer in town, (this exhibit]
gives a good background of
the history and settlement of
Riley county," Glasgow said.
To lake a closer look at
how past citizens lived from
day-to-day, "Household
Work Week" displays every-
thing from the first electric
refrigerator to stove -top waf
fie irons to musical instru-
ments Glasgow said the ex-
hibit allows visitors to have
"revelations" about how ear-
lier households were orga
nized.
The exhibit is broken
down into days of the week
with items displayed for each
day's task Monday is Wash
Day, Tuesday is Ironing Day,
Wednesday is Sewing Day,
Thursday is Calling/Visiting
Day. Friday is Cleaning Day,
Saturday is Kitchen /Cleaning
Day and Sunday is Religion
and Music Day
"Before seeing that ex-
hibit." Glasgow said, "I had
not realized that every day of
the week had past associated
with it,"
Each day is denoted with
an embroidered hand towel
and antique tools, machines
and instruments to match
each theme From irons to
sewing machines, to rug beat-
ers and music boxes, this ex-
hibit steps through the days
of the week and the decades
with items ranging from 1855
to 1950
"History isn't just presi-
dents and battles," said mu-
seum assistant Matt Mc-
Donough "The way of life,
which is what [the museum]
chronicles, i\ just as impor-
tant as all that stuff To pre-
pare for the future, you have
to know the past "
The Riley County His-
torical Museum is open 8:30
am to 5 pin Tuesday Fri
day, and 2 to 5 p.m. Satur-
days and Sundays.

K-State Web site attracts prospective students, wins national awards
By David Griffin Jr.
KANSAS STATE COLLEGIAN
The K-State Web site has
gained national attention for
improvements made to reel in
prospective students.
Since the upgrade last
fall, there have been more
than two million page views
(rom 15 million different vis-
itors. One feature is the pan
oramic photos of the campus
and buildings The University
of Colorado is the only other
Big 12 university to have pan
oramic photos on their Web
site, said Sharon Morrow, di-
rector of University Publica-
tions
Pat Bosco, dean of stu-
dent life, said. "The panoram-
ic views of the campus are re-
ally incredible, dig this." he
said, as he logged on to the
Web site to show the pan-
oramic photos "The new fea-
tures put a smile on my face"
The Web site also in-
cludes student stories and
videos that speak directly to
prospective students from a
K State student's perspective.
The Web site is not only
recognized by prospective
students, but it has also re-
ceived recognition on a dis-
trict and national level. Since
2006, K-States Web site has
received district awards rang
ing from a Bronze in "excel-
lence in multimedia single
Web page" to Gold in "ex-
cellence in multimedia: Web
site."
The most significant
award K- State's Web site has
received is the award for be-
ing the No 1 Web site for pro-
spective students of America
in 2006 K State received this
award from the Admission
Marketing Report, a publica-
tion that recognizes the best
in university admissions mar-
keting and advertising strate-
gies.
"I've noticed as being
a multicultural ambassador
that our population as far as
minority students has slowly
increased each year and each
semester," said Kyrie Graves,
senior in family studies and
human services and a student
featured on the Web site "So
I think that new features per-
suading students will definite-
ly get them here"
There is also an interac-
tive portion that allows view-
ers to take campus quizes
and lours. Morrow said
"We wanted to have
more of an interactive lour
that pulled together some of
the other features that we al-
ready had on the Web site."
she said
This is beneficial for pro-
spective outof-siate students
and their parents who can't
make a trip to campus, Mor-
row added
The process of the inter-
active link is just beginning
All of the buildings have not
yet been added, and Morrow
said it is a continuing projwL
"The new design and fea-
tures work within lots of things
we're doing to make sure th»t
we're communicating the ex-
citement of a K-State under-
graduate experience," Bosco
said.
LETTER TO THE EDITOR
Photo deceives Anal sex column ignores health risks
Editor,
My name is Christine Tassin. and
I own Twisted Apple Tattoo in Ag-
gieville Recently you published an ar-
ticle called "Inked." and we were in-
cluded for some of the quotes and pho-
tos.
I would like your readers to know
that the tattoo in the photo of the
young lady with the heart on her left
shoulder was not done here at Twisted
Apple I have been approached several
limes with that question and just want
to clarify the misconception Thank
you for including us. as 1 loved the ar
tide It was well done
Christine Tassin
OWNER TWBTBDAPKJ TATTOO
ROYAL
PURPLE
we've gol it
stories
Editor.
I am writing in re-
sponse to the article by
Malt Combes. Pleasures of
anal sex outweigh potential
health risk."
I understand the right
of freedom of speech, but
with freedom there must be
responsibility
With that in mind,
and us a future alumnus of
K'State, stones like this en-
courage me never to do-
nate financially to a uni-
versity that does not take
its responsibility serious
ly. I am disappointed, to
say the least, that the Col-
legian would publish an ar-
ticle lhat promotes an ac-
tivity that can have seri-
ous health risks, and the
reasoning behind why stu-
dents should try a poten-
tially hazardous activity,
"because it makes you feel
kind of nasty and naughty"
I do not raise my con-
cerns on a moral ground,
though I feel that could be
argued; my issue is simply
with an article being pub-
lished that promotes an ac-
tivity that can cause severe
health risk while saying
those health risks should
be overlooked because a
student might find a mo-
ment of "pleasure"

kept punching right back
The two teams battled
back and forth. When it was
all said and done, the Patri-
ots lost because of their ar-
rogant attitude The Giants
were playing for each other,
while the Patriots were play-
ing for history They thought
they were better, which they
probably were I don't doubt
the Patriots had more talent
If the Patriots and Giants
played 10 times, the Patri-
ots would probably win eight
games
But in the Super Bowl,
you only have one game to
prove yourself, and for that
one night, the Giants proved
that they were the better
team. Bill Belichick, Tom
Brady and the rest of the
New England Patriots were
beaten at their own game.
The better team won Karma

flu infects up to 20 percent
of the population, causes the
hospitalization of 200.000
people, and kills 36,000.
Vivian Nutsch, infection
control coordinator at Mercy
Regional Health Center, said
good hand hygiene is essen-
tial. She said disposing of tis-
sues readily, avoiding large
crowds and isolating those
who are sick from others es-
pecially in the classroom are
essential
Students should seek
medical care if they have fe
vers of 102 or higher, partic-
ularly if these have persist
ed despite rest, taking anti-
fever medications and drink
ing a large amount of fluids.
Nutsch added
She stressed people
should know the difference
between having a cold and
having influenza Symptoms
for influenza are a fever of
101 degrees or higher, dry
cough, sore throat, ear aches,
muscle aches, fatigue, head-
ache, extreme tiredness and a
runny and or stuffy nose
She also noted a large
number of influenza patients
in the emergency rooms
with a variety of viral symp-
toms similar to those seen at
La fen e.
The large number of stu-
dents on campus who are sick
is apparent to many campus
workers Melanie Vilcot, co-
ordinator for K-Stale's Cat's
Oen convenience stores, said
students have been cleaning
out the cold medicine section
of the merchandise
"It is definitely more than
usual," she said
New cold medicine came
in earlier this week, and by
Wednesday, the shelves were
bare again, Vilcot said
"Cough drops are flying
off the shelves," she said

he said, so spots are being
created on the north end
with that in mind
"That is just reality,"
Snead said. "Our financial
consultants said this is al-
ways how it goes"
Dial Realty is Manhat-
tan's partner in the redevel-
opment and owns the land

ment area Because of that,
the city does not have much
say in what kind of retailers
are coming in, Hayen said.
What has disenchant-
ed many with Dial is com
paring their project in Man-
hattan to other develop-
ments they have participat-
ed in across the Midwest,
Sherow said. He said the
type of retailers included in
those projects and the one
in Manhattan are similar,
bringing into question their
ability to attract businesses
the community expected.
"A lot of people in op-
position to the way this has
turned out have avid propo-
nents of downtown redevel-
opment as a whole," Sherow
said "From their perspec-
tive, they would like to see
higher quality development

K-State strives for
energy efficiency
By Sarah Burro rd
KANSAS VJATk COLLR.1AN
Andrew McGowan. sophomore in agronomy, was
used to recycling at his family s home But when he came
to K-State, this habit had to change.
McGowan said he is trying to organize a recycling pro-
gram for the residence halls He said he is working with K-
State Housing and Dining and the Facilities Department,
which allowed the program in the past, but haven't had it
recently due to pests and fire hazards.
"It's weird for me not to have [recycling! here,"
McGowan said. "So I am seeking out a way to get the pro-
gram going."
A recycling program is just one way that a college
campus can improve its energy efficiency K State has ren-
ovated and reworked the various systems around campus
to save energy and costs, and is still working on ways to
conserve energy in the future
Dale Boggs, associate director of K Stale's Facilities
Maintenance and Utilities Department, said K-State has
worked hard in the past to make campus energy efficient
"[Energy conservation) is something we watch all the
time' Boggs said "The facilities' new mission is to keep
things going and do it with energy efficiency because that
keeps costs down"
He said the Facilities Department tries to purchase
products that are energy efficient and has replaced the
lights around campus so they use less electricity. The cam-
pus' energy system is timed by computers so the heat, air
conditioning and lighting are only in use when people are
in the buildings. In older buildings, Boggs said, they try to
balance the air to save energy; new buildings arc built with
energy-efficient appliances
"We're always looking for new ideas on campus," he
said.
|on- Edward Thorsell, junior in civil engineering, has
numerous ideas for revamping K-State's current recycling
efforts In a 21 -page research proposal, which was sub-
mitted to top student organizations and given to the Col
legian, he states, "K- Slate's current tuition -funded recy-
cling program faces numerous problems including build-
ing space, funding issues, lack of available labor and lack
*!
of volunteer coordination,'* to name a few
In his document he states 10 major reasons for a
change in the recycling program "Recycling and waste
minimization are the right thing to do; all K- State's pro-
grams need to be a source of pride "
The proposal said these problems can be easily solved
with a combined effort of top student organizations and
the administration.
The main goal is bringing student organizations such
as Student Governing Association together to assess and
enlarge the current tuition-funded program on behalf of
the entire student body and establish or re-establish a
structured recycling system within each residence hall.

cording to the proposal

construction science, taught a class during intercession

SIMPLE WAYS TO CONSERVE ENERGY
1 . Letting sunlight in by opening curtains, blinds and shades
helps heat your home,
2. Keeping doors shut can reduce heating costs by as much as
i 5 percent,
3. Turn off lights in rooms that are not being used.
4 Shut off computers* night
5. Use fans instead of air conditioning.
6. Avoid using hot water in your washing machine.
7. Run your washer only when you have a full load.
8. Use a toaster oven instead of a conventional oven to cook
smaller items.
9. Use fluorescent light bulbs Instead of incandescent ones,

Custodian encourages students to take environmental responsibility, recycle
ByElisePodhajsky
KA SSAS STATE OOUBGUM
Stuffed in the corner of a
Card well Hall women's rest-
room sat seven 47-by-47-inch
clear trash bugs Each bag was
almost full to capacity with
newspapers, office paper, plas-
tic bottles and aluminum cans,
So why were these bags of
garbage laying in a bathroom
stall '
The bags were part of an
environmental experiment
K-State custodian and part-
tiim. 1 student Patricia Newton
decided to take upon herself.
And don't call the bags con-
tents garbage; Newton will be
quick to correct you: They're
recycling
Stationed in Cardwell,
Newton said part of her dai-
ly routine is to walk up and
down the halls of the build-
ing and pick up its accumu-
lated trash She said she had
to take out two or three large
bags of trash per floor recently
and had noticed the bags get-
ting heavier and heavier. She
said she started to wonder
what would happen if recycla-
ble items were removed from
the bags.
"It was mostly a curiosity
thing," Newton said. "I wanted
to see how much we were re-
ally throwing away that could
easily be recycled"
That's exactly what she
did For the past few weeks, if
the trash "wasn't too disgust-
ing" Newton said she would
go through each bag, remove
recyclable items, separate
them into their own trash bag
and store them in her custodi-
al closet to be recycled
What she discovered was
the amount of trash she took
out dropped dramatically.
Newton said she began to only
take out one trash bag for the
entire building, as opposed to
the two or three bags per floor
each day
"We were lifting all this
[recyclable] weight every day
to go throw it away and put
it in a landfill somewhere,"
she said, "when all we'd have
to do is stick it in a recycling
bin"
Newton said she eventu-
ally had to clean out her clos-
et for fire safety reasons and
the bathroom was just tem-
porary storage until she made
her weekly trip to Howie's Re
cycling.

K-State student's environmental project
focusing on greeks gains recognition
By Jenna Scavuuo
KANSAS MAT! lOLLHilAN
In an effort to educate the
K State greek community about
positively affecting the envi-
ronment, one student's cam-
paign, "Greeks Go Green." is
on its way to making the world
a greener place.
Though her idea started
<>ui small last fall, Molly Hamin,
junior in English and secondary
education, has brought K-State
and her environmental cam-
paign national recognition
Hamm began her cam
paign when she decided to par-

a grant, sponsored by The Peo-

intended to bring about a posi-

nity was selected as one of 10
communities nationwide to re-
ceive the grant through Hamm's
"Greeks Go Green" campaign.
It was the only one that focused
on the greek system, she said
On Dec 7, Hamm present-
ed her campaign at the United
Nations Foundations in Wash-
ington, DC, lo the director of
The People Speak, an Ameri-
cans for Informed Democracy
representative and representa-
tives from each of the 10 uni-
versities selected for the pro
gram The university represen-
tatives also met with climate-
change experts and senators
from their home states, Hamm
said
Hamm said it was exciting
lo be able to present her cam-
paign in Washington, last se-
mester
"I'm passionate about the
environment because it's some-
thing that hadn't gotten a lot of
attention for a long time, and
it's something that impacts ev-
eryone," she said. "It affects
how we live right now and how
we will live in the future."
Hamm said her project
aims to influence members of
the greek community to alter
their behaviors to be more en-
vironmentally conscious. Her
goal was to find a large group
of people who live together and
help them practice ways to re
duce waste; sororities and fra-
ternities provided those num-
bers.
"I encourage the greek
community through compe-
tition to raise the bar and do
more things for the environ-
ment," Hamm said. "My cam-
paign has made a lot of progress
since I've first started it, since
a lot more chapters are excited
about this project We're receiv-
ing national attention to our
greek community, and K-State
is really willing to change its en-
vironmental behavior"

Molly Hamm, right, started the campaign "Greeks Go Green* to minimize fraternity and sorority energy use
aJ wanning and other long-term
environmental destructions,
Hamm said She said there are
more ways to reduce waste and
cause less carbon emissions. All
waste goes into landfills, which
lakes up valuable land space
and is not healthy for the envi-
ronment, she said.
Hamm said she has out-
lined several basic guidelines
people should follow to reduce
waste: refusing excess energy
sources, reducing usage of ener-
gy and reusing sources of MM
gy by recycling as much as pos
sible.

One of these programs
will help couples strength-
en their relationships, anoth-

The list goes on to include an-
ger management, how to deal
with diabetes and a few oth-
ers

our number one priority," said

The program not only

ing alcohol. In addition
to preventing students
from drinking and driv-
ing, SafeRide increases
safety by offering stu-
dents a ride home. Oth-
erwise, intoxicated or
sober students would
have to walk home
alone at night or with
a random stranger or
drive home.
During these SafeR-
ide trips, drivers have
always followed abra-
sive and sometimes
slurred directions of
where students' homes
are located.
Students should not
be afraid of drivers'
judgement. The drivers
even have a few good
stories from "back in
the day"
Even if SafeRide be-
comes overwhelmed
with passengers, driv-
ers are willing to come
back to the pick-up
spot
All students should
use SafeRide. Since the
cost of a ticket for driv-
ing under the influence
is so expensive, and the
act itself can be fatal, it
makes sense to hitch a
ride.

Questionable convenience
Medical marijuana machines in California bring up issue of national legislation
KELSEY
CHILDRESS
Christina Klein I UU LB.1AN
First off, let me say J have nev
er smoked marijuana, and neither 1
nor the Collegian endorse marijuana
use
As reported by
MSNBC and sever-
al other news out-
lets last week, three
marijuana vend
ing machines
-* have been
set up in Los
Angeles in nat-
ural health stores
- Jhese machines re
quire fingerprint
identification and a
prepaid card to pro-
vide medical mari-
juana to those who have a prescrip
tion for it.
According lo Ihe U.S. Drug En-
forcement Administration, in Cal-
ifornia there is no slate regulation
or standard of the cultivation and/
or distribution of medical marijua-
na California leaves the establish-
ment of any guidelines lo local juris-
dictions, which can widely vary."
The DEA and U.S. government
allow states to make their own laws
regarding medical and recreation-
al use and possession of marijuana
Some cities are allowing people to
legally possess marijuana, even if it
is for recreational use,
According to an article in USA
Today, Denver passed legislation in
November 2005 lhat allowed per-
sons age 21 and older to have up to
one ounce of marijuana within city
limits without penalty The DEA's
lock-down on all drugs is getting
looser and looser as some states are
lightening the punishments fan inuri
juana possession and allowing some
people to have it for medical pur-
poses
One of government's shortcom-
ings is its ability to admit a mistake
The US government banned mari
juana without any evidence to back
its reasoning, as there have been
minimal clinical trials throughout
the last few decades completed In
the United States to find out more
about the drug The federal govern-
ment is still reluctant to acknowl-
edge some recent studies that have
shown benefits of marijuana - that
would mean government officials
would have to admit fault.
But overall, this is bigger than a
group of pro -marijuana activists try-
ing to gain the right to smoke free-
ly. The battle over the cultural and
historical meanings of marijuana is
leading a debate for the prescription
use of all drugs thai are supposed to
be used for medicinal purposes but
are instead being used recreational-
The DEA argues marijuana is
a "stepping stone" to harder drugs
The US Substance Abuse and Men
tal Health Services Administration
stated in a press release on Aug. 28,
2002, that children who use mari-
juana before the age of 17 are more
likely to use harder drugs, but there
is less chance adults will do the
same
There is one thing those on
both sides of the issue agree on -
marijuana is a stepping stone to
harder drugs, just as tobacco and al-
cohol are. However, tobacco and al-
cohol aren't illegal. There are many
more pros and cons when it comes
lo the issue of legalization of medi-
cal marijuana.
However, people will never for-
get the cultural connotations of mar-
ijuana, and it will probably never be
completely legalized in the United
Slates, no matter how many other
countries do so.

Despite excitement surrounding Democratic race,
Republican candidates offer fair share of drama
MARQUIS
CLARK
The main problem with a col-
umn that runs on Friday is you turn it
in on Tuesday to make deadline. And
without the results
of Super Tuesday to
comfort me, I had
to figure out some-
thing else to write
about And like
manna from heav-
en. I realized there
seem to be two po-
litical parties in the
United States
Apparently,
there is a Kepubli
can primary taking
place at the same
time as the Demo-
cratic one Upon further research. 1
found that the race includes no few
er than three major candidates, and if
my research is correct, each of them
intends to actually become president
Obviously I was very surprised by
this information and thought I should
learn more.
Compared to a primary pitting
an African-American and a woman
against one another, the Republican
primary must feel like the middle
child of American politics While the
Democratic race flies in the face of
hundreds of yean of racial prejudice
and thousands of yean of gender op-
pression, the Republicans just don't
have that "wow" factor in their race
But fear not, my Republican
brethren, your candidates have not
sat idly by and been outdone by Ihe
she cries he -con descends tit-for-lat
of Ihe Democratic race Republicans
also love drama
Before Mitt Romney dropped out
of the race yesterday, he and Mike
Huckabee pulled no punches in their
attacks on each other According to
CNN.com, Romney hinted that Huck
abee should leave the race and "quit
whining" Huckabee's response was
just as vicious when he said Rom-
ney was being presumptuous and ar
rogant Easy, fellas, there are kids
watehing.
Front-runner )ohn McCain is nol
above the fracas, though. According
to Ihe Associated Press, he dropped
the ultimate conservative bomb, say-
ing Romney "was against Ronald
Reagan before he was for him." Talk
aboul weapons of mass destruction
Flip-flops are not just for summer,
and it appears the collective barbs
from his opponents finally did Rom-
ney in
If footage from the Republican
debate at the Reagan Library is any
indication, this Ron Paul fellow lakes
the cake. When actually allowed to
speak, he said Ihe oddest things.
On the economy, he didn't just
blame the president: he also spoke
of the responsibility of Congress.
I checked and this little document
called the Constitution actually pro-
vides Congress considerable power in
this area
Three hours later, when allowed
to speak again, he criticized his col-
leagues for engaging in silly semantic
discussion when there are real issues
to discuss
He even seems to have some
grasp of the history of American for-
eign and economic policy. Combine
that wilh his frequent references to
the Constitution, and the eye-rolling
and dismissive speech aimed at him
makes for must see TV
So, Republicans, fear not, if you
thought the frivolity that will typi-
fy the Democratic race was going
to pass you by, be comforted in the
knowledge (hat all politicians share
Ihe same desire for the inane. And
we in the media will do our best to si

WHO HAS YOUR VOTET
Religion influences but does not define students' voting preferences
This is the fourth article in
a five week series examining
the noting behavior of
different groups within society
and their effects on the
2008 presidential election.
Next week, the Collegian
wilt conclude the series by
examining the electoral effects
of the military nationally and
locally.
By Scott Girard
KAttttSSTATBCOUiattH
Many strongly religious
K-State students tend to lean
toward conservative political
views, but their religion does
not necessarily shape their
voting patterns
Religion has played a
large part in the 2008 presi-
dential campaign, especially
in the Republican race.
Of the three leading can
didales in the Republican
race before Thursday, one,
Mitt Romney, is a Mormon
and another, Mike Hucka-
bee, is a former evangelical
pastor.
According lo a Gallup
poll published Dec. 24. 2007.
82 percent of Americans are
Christians Of those, 51 per
cent identified themselves as
Protestant, 23 percent as Ro
man Catholic and only two
percent as Mormon.
Laurie Bagby. associate
professor of political science,
said Christians typically vot-
ed as Democrats until Presi
dent Ronald Reagan s terms
in the 1980s Since then.
Christians, especially evan
gelicals, have leaned toward
the Republican, conservative
points of view.
Hank Warkentin, senior
in computer science, said he
would be pleased with two of
those candidates, bul would
not support Romney. the for
mer governor of Massachu-
setts, or any of the Democrat-
ic candidates. He said Rom-
ney's Mormon beliefs did not
lull in line with his.
"It makes a big differ
ence that he's a Mormon,"
Warkentin said "He sees the
world a whole lot different
lhan 1 do"
Michael Wangsgaard, lo-
cal demist and leader of the
Manhattan student branch
of the Church of Latter Day
Saints, said Romney's Mor-
mon beliefs should not turn
away evangelical or other
Christian voters. He said both
groups of people have simi-
lar goab and should work to-
gether
"I have always hoped
and dreamed that conserva-
tives and Mormons would
come together to solve these
important issues of our time
and look past our minor reli
gious differences," he said
Wangsgaard said Mor-
mon beliefs mostly correlate
with those of conservatives,
especially their views on mor-
al issues like abortion.
Warkentin said abortion
was an important issue for
him as well He said he does
not support abortion rights
because of his Christian
views This is also true with
other moral issues, he said.
" I believe conservative
views relate more closely lo
religious views lhan those
of liberal views." Warkentin
said.
Jacob Huff, junior in busi-
ness management and trea-
surer for the K- State College
Republicans, said his Chris-
tian beliefs do not define his
political views
"1 would say I want
somebody with Christian val-
ues (for president! , hut noi
necessarily Christian." Huff
said.
Huff, a Romney support-
er, said he was more con
cerned about issues like the
economy and war in Iraq
than moral issues like abor-
tion He also said Romney's
Mormon beliefs should not
set him apart from other Re-
publicans.
"If you look at just the
Christian aspect. Jimmy Cart-
er was one of the strongest
Christian presidents, and in
my opinion, he was a terrible
president." Huff said
In a Pew Research Cen-
ter survey on Dec. 4. 2007. al-
most a fourth of those polled
said they would not vote for
a Mormon candidate, and 62
percent thought Mormon-
ism was very different" from
their religion.
Bagby said Romney's
Mormon beliefs were not
necessarily a hindrance for
his campaign
"People support him sim-
ply because he is a Christian
of conviction,'' she said. "He
says, I'm a Mormon," and he
doesn't hide from it "
Huff said he was con-
icriu'tJ that many of the
Christians on campus were
apathetic toward politics
He said he thought many
Christians were afraid to ad-
dress government issues for
k.ir of taking over the gov-
ernment or vice versa.
"To them, obviously
God comes first and country
comes second." he said
On Tuesday. Arizona
Sen John McCain wrapped
up many of the Republican
delegates and is predicted by
many to win the presiden-
tial nomination Bagby said
though many conservative
voices like radio host Rush
Limbaugh have attacked
McCain, he is still showing
strong support among con-
servative Christians,
"ll seems that conserva-
tives aren't listening to that
because he would need a large
amount of support from con-
servatives to win the rtomina
lion," Bagby said.
Huff said he did nut know
if he would support McCa-
in because he did not have a
strong conservative record.
Asked if he would vote
for McCain, Huff said. "It de-
pends on who the Democrat-
ic candidate is. And a lot de-
pends on who he chooses as
vice president"

BLACK HISTORY OH CAMPUS
Associate dean starts program, helps students overcome prejudices
By Jasmine Hammond
KANSAS | I 'ATM Oil H. IAN
Tliis is the first of a four-
week profile series highlighting
contributions made by
African- American faculty on
the K- State campus in light
of February: National Black
History Month
K- Slate's Carta Jones has
lurked in the shadows of stu-
dents' lives, giving them guid
ance and a listening ear for sev-
eral years
"1 don't do it for glory, 1 do
it for service," said Jones, senior
associate dean of student life.
|ones is heavily involved
on campus but in a discreet
wii\ by helping others.
In her position, she is pri-
marily responsible for helping
students adjust to K-State.
She talks with sludenls
about a wide range of topics,
from family issues lo academic
and financial problems and re-
lationship break-ups
"I try lo get students to the
right resources," Jones said.
Heather Reed, assistant
dean of student life, said Jones
is knowledgeable with student
issues and works well with slu
dents
"Carlo is a lot of fun lo
work with," Reed said "She's a
good student advocate who is
welcoming to all students
Being an African- Amen -
can and a woman, Jones had lo
overcome many obstacles.
"Every week it was always
something," Jones said "One
day it would be I was black,
the next would be because I'm
a woman and sometimes it
would be both "
Eventually Jones said she
received the respect she need
ed and deserved.
"We (Afncan -Americans J
have lo gel more education
than most people," Jones said
"I had lo work hard, very hard,
and learn my craft to get all the
credentials to be where 1 am to-
day"
Jones, a Florida native, re
ceived a bachelor of arts de
gree at Jacksonville Universi-
ty in Jacksonville, Fla. She also
received degrees from Florida
Stale University, University of
Texas at Austin and earned her
doctorate from the University
of Florida
"I was a fairly good stu-
dent." Jones said
She started al K-State 14
years ago as an adjunct instruc
tor teaching leadership devel-
opment courses and worked
her way up lo where she is to-
day.
Jones has also served as an
adviser for Silver Key Sopho-
more Honorary, an organiza-
tion for second-year college
students who earn a 3.0 GPA
and ore selected for member-
ship on the basis of leadership.
Jones said she felt her big-
gest accomplishment at K-State
was starting the Multicultural
Student Honor Society, which
begun m November 1999
I'll is society is open lo
sophomores who have taken
45 hours or more and main-
tained a 3 GPA.
"1 worked very diligently
with her when she put together
that group." said Pat Hudgins,
classified advertisement adviser
and human relations specialist
for Student Publications. Inc.
Hudgins described Jones
as a quiet cheerleader, recruit-
er mentor, and someone who
Carta Jones,
senior
associate dean
of student
life, said
he' biggest
accomplish-
ment was
starting the
Multicultural
Student Honor
Society.

gives students plenty of mean-
ingful advice
"She supports people who

porting ihem." Hudgins said.

Knight's
resignation
not surprising
The college basketball
world shook earlier this week
when heralded coach Bub
Knight,
fresh of! vic-
tory No.
902, an-
nounced he
waa retiring
immediately.
Specu-
lation was
running
rampant.
Was he Ul?
Was a mem-
ber of his
family If
Was there a scandal? Did he
just want to seal his son's leg-
acy as the new head coach at
Texas Tech 1
But, no, Knight just said
he was tired. He had lost his
passion. His mojo. He no Ion
ger wanted to do what he had
been doing for 40 years
Anyone who watched a re
cent Texas Tech game could
tell that Knight was worn out
After his team topped Texas
A&M at home, he just slumped
over in his chair on the court
afterward, looking like he
might be dying.
Tired? 1 completely buy il.
If 1 had a dollar for every time
one of my parents, who are just
slightly younger than Knight,
said they were tired and want-
ed to quit their jobs. I wouldn't
have to get student loans to pay
for college
But for what should
Knight be remembered? While
902 wins is a big feat, in fact,
the most wins in Division '
men's college basketball histo-
ry, and he should be remem-
bered for his three NCAA
championships, his Big Ten
championships, being Nation-
al Coach of the Year and the
coach of the US Olympic Bas-
ketball team when they won a
gold medal. Ihe skeletons in his
closet complete his legacy.
Which incident was more
controversial? The lime he
threw a chair during a game
after a referee made a call he
wasn't fond oP The multi-
ple times he swore on- the- re
cord during press conferences'
The most recent incident that
comes to mind was when a
neighbor recorded himself go-
ing up to Knight and a friend.
who were dove hunting, and
berating them for shooting too
close to his house.
While these incidents no
doubt tarnished Knight's image
with the media, they shouldn't
overshadow what Bob Knight
was: a great coach You don't
win lhat many national cham-
pionships without knowing
a thing or two about basket-
ball and how 10 win His antics
were just part of what made
Bob Knight, Bob Knight
Would we have really paid
the same amount of attention
to him if he hadn't been the
angry coach we all know and
love? His legacy in the sport of
basketball will feature both his
wins and his controversies.
It's all a matter of perspec-
tive I know many aren't going
to agree that Knight deserves
the respect I am willing to give
him, but Knight is a figure who
commands that respect He
will go down in history one
way or another, that's inevita-
ble. But he should go down in
a blaze of glory, not under the
shadow of controversy

JUST A NOTE
Live bands
retain
advantage
An in-sync adrenaline
rush occurs for musicians and
audience members when that
first gui-
tar string
is plucked
and that first
word is sung
into a micro-
phone
But if
these art-
ists are miss-
ing in action
on the per-
formance
circuit
and hide behind computer
screens, how can their ador-
ing fans put their hands in the
air and scream for them?
In a technologically sav-
vy 21st century, some musi-
cal artists have bypassed live
performances and six-month
tours Instead, their songs are
pasted on networking Web
sites like MySpacecom while
they continue to play small
tours and keep their fingers
crossed lor continued sup-
port
While Web sites provide
unlimited potential for view-
ers' access, a song clip and
artist biography lack the audi-
ence-interaction element.
Bands like Panic At the
Disco completely missed the
nail on its head. In 2005,
while the young band was
in its beginning stages. Pan-
ic members contacted Fall
Out Boy bassist Pete Wentz
through Liveloumaicom and
sent him a link to Panic's
PureVoiume com site.
From there, Wentz met
the band members in per-
son, heard them perform live
in a garage and asked if they
would sign with the record la-
bel Decaydance/Fueled by
Ramen
A more recent example is
seen with break-through mu-
sical artist Ingrid Michaelson.
Michaelson. a Stalen Island,
NY., resident posted sever-
al original songs on her MyS-
pace account in 2006 to share
her music and possibly score
local shows, according to an
Oct 13, 2007, Billboard maga
zine article. But within a mat
ter of months, a music man-
ager discovered Michaelson's
site and her music has since
appeared on "Grey's Anato-
my" and in Old Navy adver-
tisements.
Live musicians also can
use live performances to help
build their social networks.
Most tours take artists across
the country, where they are
exposed to different audienc-
es.
Kevin Sinclair, publisher
and editor of www. Musician ■
Home com, claims musicians
only can achieve true success
through "getting out there"
and informing public mem-
bers about their music. At Ar-
tistopia Music, an indepen-
dent music blog, Sinclair said
audience participation is a
key element for successful live
performances.
Live music provides art-
ists with filled tour diaries,
photo albums and a new fan
base, so they shouldn't com-
pletely disregard Internet pos-
sibilities MySpacecom had
its first My Space Music Tour
with 30 shows in October
and November 2007 across
the U.S. Tours like MySpace's
provide fans the opportuni-
ties they've waited for to hear
bands who wouldn't other-
wise visit their area.
Laurie Anderson, an
American performance art-
ist and musician, once said,
"Performance art is about
joy, about making something
that's so full of kind of a wild
joy that you really can't put
into words"
Performance incorpo-
rates audiences, notes, lyrics,
gestures and most important-
ly ~ emotion. No matter how
much technology evolves, A
computer screen and sound
bytes never could encapsulate
live music

There are some items that art-
easy to purchase and require no
sweat or anxious nail biting Grocer-

of holiday shopping, it becomes
riskier
Not the end-of-the-year holi-
days, mind you, those appetites can
be satisfied with a simple fruit bas-
ket or ugly sweater No. one of the
most difficult holidays to shop for is
Valentine's Day, especially for men
Women place a lot of emphasis
on this romantic holiday, and men
who realize this might stress about
what to get their special lady come

flowers, but sonie men who want to
turn their relationship up a couple-

Whether you buy your lady
friend something lacy, frilly, sec
through or all of the above can de-
pend on many factors, like how long
you've been dating, how close your
relationship is and what kind of
woman she is. It is also important to
do a little detective work to find out
her size and favorite styles and col
ors.
Literature like "The North
American Field Guide to Lingerie"
can help a guy who is not-so knowl-
edgeable about the different kj pn o4
under things available for women to-
day. It contains a go-to guide about
different forms of panties, bras, led
dies and anything else an adventur-
ous guy can dream up. complete
with suggestions about what type of
girl would look best in it.
Once you have a good idea
about what you're looking for the
next step is venturing out to pur
chase it And don't worry, boys,
you're not alone
"During holidays like Valen-
tine's Day, about one out of five of
people that come in are men." said
Shea Olsen, Victoria's Secret em-
ployee. "Many of them are sent with
a list, so they know what they're
looking for, or they come in with the
lady, and do it as a couple. Some just
have no idea, and that's why we're
here"
Olsen said some of the men
arc nervous and feel out of their el-
ement, but others breeze through it
with no problems She added that
picking out a certain type of lingerie
can depend on the girl, which is why
they offer a wish list
The woman can go into Victo-
ria s Secret, fill out a wish list with
I heir sizes and what they want, and
give it to their man, who can use
that to guide them in their shopping
However, it isn't just men shopping
fur their significant others that ven-
lurc in.
"We also have guys come in to
huv sleep wear or other items from
our Pink collection for sisters or
moms,' Olsen said "Fragrance is
also an idea if you just can't decide
We have a lol of fun with the guys
because we gel to know them"
Men who have previously
bought items for the women in their
lilt can offer assistance on how to
handle the experience.
■ I bought my ex girlfriend un-
derwear while we were dating," said
Brian Lauer, junior in agricultur-
al technology management "We'd
been dating for about a year, and I
remember thinking they were really
expensive"
Lauer said his girlfriend went in
with him and picked out what she
wanted, making the experience easi-
er for him He would do it again, he
added, as it was nol too embarrass-
ing .
"It wasn't for a holiday or any-
thing, though. I guess I'm just a nice
guy," Lauer said.
While men like Lauer can check
buying lingerie off their life accom-
plishments, others are waiting (or

MOVIE REVIEW
'Sunshine' takes new approach to apocalyptic thriller
"Sunshine"
RiVltw fay Brtndltl Pn*gn
Judging a book by its
cover can be a mistake, but
judging a movie by its trail-
er is usually more accurate
After researching last
week's theatrical offerings,
"The Eye" and "Over Her
Dead Body," t decided my
time would be better spent
looking at a recent DVD
release that never came to
Manhattan.
My morbid narrative
taste has fueled my interest
in apocalyptic thriller* for
u long at I can remember
It doesn't matter if human
ity has already fallen, or if
the end is jimply hanging
overhead, the apocalypse
provides enough psycholog-
ical and philosophical ten-
sion to power even the most
flaccid of narratives
Director Danny Boyle

apocalyptic cinema with
the terrifying "28 Days Lat
er." With "Sunshine," he
dropped the infected zom
bies in favor of an impend-
ing solar disaster.
Fifty years in the future.
the sun is being destroyed
from inside by a highly sta-
ble form of matter that ren-
ders nuclear fusion impos-
sible, by turning common
matter on its own kind.
The only hope is to
send a team of astronauts to
detonate a massive, highly
energetic bomb that will be
able to destroy this strange
matter and restore the sun's
natural state
Seven years after the
first ship, Icarus 1, disap-
peared, Icarus 2 becomes
the planet's last hope for
survival,
After passing Mercu-
ry, the crew finds a distress
signal from Icarus 1 and de-
cides to rendezvous with
the abandoned ship Mur
phy's Law lakes effect, and
a series of mistakes put the
mission in jeopardy.
On the surface, "Sun-
shine" is little more than a
thematic replica of "Deep
Impact" or "The Core" with
settings stolen from Event
Horizon" Our planet is in
trouble Send in the caval-
ry
However, "Sunshine"
avoids numerous disaster
movie cliches by showing
the crew in relative isola-
tion. We don't see any shots
from Earth until the end of
the film Boyle reduces the
first act. typically a montage
of panic and desperation by
the helpless population, to
an expository monologue.
As the crew fights to re-
tain sanity, certain mem-
bers have to sacrifice their

When Heather Reed en
tered her office in Holton
102, her smile spread across
her entire face and even
those who didn't know her
personally could feel an in
stanl connection
On a Thursday morning
after the K-Statc men's bas-
ketball victory 24 years in
the making, a steady snow
fell across campus Most
students and faculty mem
bers opted to stay indoors,
but Reed went from build-
ing to building and meeting
to meeting with faculty mem-
bers and students
She is a student advo
cate who "absolutely loves'*
her job.
Every day at work is dif-
ferent for Reed, assistant
dean of student life Students
seek her out for assistance
and guidance with different
problems related to academ-
ic concerns, work lives and
personal issues.
Depression and anxiety
are common issues among
students who Reed encoun-
ters, she said. Reed connects
students with University
Counseling Services and dis-
cusses their needs with their
instructors, but only if they
request so
"Ultimately, every stu-
dent that walks in here with
a problem, we want to try to
problem solve and get them
through it and on to being a
successful student," she said.
Reed has served as assis-
tant dean of student life since
20O5, and she works closely
with Carla Jones, associate
dean of student life; and Pat
Bosco, dean of student life,
to help meet students' needs.
A "caring aura." which
surrounds K State and its
students, makes Reed's job
enjoyable, she said Personal
growth among students also
makes her role worthwhile
"They're a breath of fresh
air to work with," Reed said
"I've seen so many students
go on and be successful when
they've had huge struggles
and they've worked through
them They've used their re-
sources, and I think they've
come out on the other side
even as a stronger person"
Reed is an adjunct pro-
fessor in Leadership Studies
and Programs, but she also
is a counselor As she decid-
ed on a master's degree pro-
gram. Reed said she chose
one where she could serve as
a problem -solver.
"In my previous role as
a teacher. I found students
seemed to want to confide in
me," she said "They saw me
as a person who was em pa-
thetic and could help them
find ways to solve their prob-
lems"

a challenge and subsequent
evaluation for university ed-
ucators across the U.S., in-

In April 2007, the Virgin-
Matt Castro I COLLEGIAN
Haather R«*d assistant dean of student life, sits in her office in
Holton 102. Reed assists students with a variety of personal and
academic issues.
ia Tech massacre made Reed
and her colleagues evalu-
ate K State's Office of Stu-

ness After they reviewed the
Virginia Tech Review Pan
el's report. Reed said the Of-
fice of Student Life conclud-
ed that K Stale had resourc-
es in place if a similar event
had occurred
Reed serves as chair-
woman of K Slate's Crisis

adviser to the Student Judi

of the day, she also is a wife,
mother and grandmother.
Reed and her husband

daughters and a grandson.
When she's away from

"When I look back, it's
pretty incredible considering
I never considered myself a
runner, but I do enjoy that
type of exercise," Reed said
Each day presents itself
with new challenges in the

years from now, Reed said
she would like to remain in
her current role.
"Sure, we all have goals,
but this is just such a perfect

By Willow Williamson
kANSASSTATinUAEUIAN
The rhythmic strums of
a finger-style guitarist will be
heard tonight when Michael
Young gives the first per-
formance of the 2008 Bird-
house season at 8 p m in the
Manhattan Arts Center.
Young, who plays both
the six- and 12 string guitar,
has a "bouncy and energet-
ic groove" in his music, ac-
cording to his Web site, mi
chaelyoung.music.com.
Robbie Bear, who is in
charge of bookings for the
MAC's Bird house series
and a biology instructor at
K State, said he first heard
about Young from a friend,
who called him a phenom-
enal guitarist Rear said he
listened to Young's albums
but truly understood his tal-
ent when he watched some
of Young's performances on
YouTubecom
"He's very energetic and
engaged with his instrument
and the audience." Bear
said
Bear said he kept his eye
on Young, and when his rep-
resentative contacted Bear
last fall about a performance,
he jumped at the chance to
book Young for the spring
Birdhouse series
"1 always look for up
and coming artists that have
something completely new
and unique," Bear said
Young is the first musi-
cian to play for this season's
Birdhouse series, which
features four perHrmanc
es each semester, according
to the MAC Web site, www
manhattanarts.org. The se-
ries promotes artists who
perform in the styles of jazz,
blues, folk and country. Tess
Purvis, director of marketing
and education at the MAC,
said the series brings in "bar
music" like one might hear in
the pubs of Ireland or Eng-
land.
Purvis said the perfor-
mances at the MAC are a
great way for students to
spend an evening because
the location is within walk-
ing distance of campus and
Aggievillc, and it's a casual
affair.
"We are not stuffy, so
jeans and T-shirts are abso-
lutely fine," she said.
Bear said he hopes peo-
ple will come to the show.
He said it is a great opportu
nity that is not taken advan-
tage of enough
"Our audience has been
kind of falling off and it's
kind of a shame to lose some-
thing as good as we have at
the Birdhouse, and 1 hope
CLASSIFIEDS
that college students will be-
gin to see what a little nugget
they have available to them,"
Bear said
He said he is excited to
see Young perform live, be-
cause Young is sure to go far
in his career
l really think he is just
a fantastic young musician
who is going to surprise a lot
of people in the future," he
said
The box office opens at
7 :30 for the 8 p m. show, Pur-
vis said, and tickets are $13
for students, $14 for military
and $16 for adults People
can reserve tickets by calling
785-537-4420, going online
or just by getting them at the
door, Purvis said. Also, the
art exhibit "A Golden Day,"
which features photogra-
phy by Judith Lennox Saba
tint, will be open before the
show

EFFICIENCY | K-State studying ways
to become more energy-efficient
ContmuMl from P*ge 1
tli.it allows students a chance
to become Leadership in Ener-
gy Environmental Design ccr
tilled to design "green" build-
ings and rate the structures ac
cording to their energy effi-
ciency
Yunk said thai K State
considered building the |ar-
dine apartments according to
LE ED's standards, but decided
against it However, the Alum-
ni Foundation is constructing
a building that will incorpo-
rate green building, he said
LEED-certified buildings
have more efficient systems,
use daylight effectively by de-
signing more windows, and
use less chemicals in adhesives
Jtid finishings, he said
"Older buildings can be
unproved through beating,
cooling and lighting - which
arc the utilities campuses
around the nation are improv-
ing in order to become more
economical," he said
"You need to identify en-
ergy use, quantify that, and set
goals to reduce that use," he
added
Boggs said students could
help energy efficiency on cam-
pus by turning off lights, clos-
ing windows and shutting
down their computers over-
night
The Association for the
Advancement of Sustainability
in Higher Education is launch-
ing a pilot rating system sim-
ilar to LEED called STARS
(Sustainability Tracking. As-
sessment, and Hating System),
according to a press release
from Pfi.com. This system dif-
fers from LEED in that it rates
the sustainability of "an en-
tire campus rather than a sin-
gle building or set of buildings
and evaluates social responsi
bility as well as environmental
stewardship," according to the
press release,
More than 90 colleges and
universities across the nation
will lest this self-assessment
toot this year. There is current-
ly no existing system that trans-
lates sustainability factors into
one single metric, according to
the press release. This system
is designed to make compari-
son across campuses easy and
to enable institutional bench
nuking, according to the arti
cle
He said while K State is
pursuing ways to conserve en-
ergy and save money, the focus
remains on the students and
faculty using the buildings.
"The important thing to
keep in mind is that people's
children are here." Boggs said
"We're trying to keep peo-
ple comfortable, that's a task
sometimes"
PINK | Women's team honors
cancer victims, Stewart's mother
ContimiHl from Ptqe 6
added level of significance fol-
lowing the death of Vanessa
Stewart, the mother of K State
men's basketball senior guard
Gent Stewart, who died Tues-
day after a long battle with
bone cancer
"That just goes to show
haw cancer touches every-
one's lives, and here at K-
State with Clent losing his
mom to a battle with cancer
just epitomizes the reality of
this disease, so for all of us it
hit home," Patterson said "It's
as important of a game we will
play all season long because
the issue transcends a ball and
a rim"
Senior guard Kimberly
DteU said the game means a
lot because both teams will be
showing their support for the
cause and it will mean even
more considering the game in-
volves women.
"We are women and it's
a more common cancer in
women, so it's something we
just have to be aware of and
hopefully find a cure for some-
day." Dielz said
Sophomore forward Ash-
ley Sweat reiterated the signif-
icance of the game following
the loss of a member of the K-
State family.
"Obviously, it is some-
thing special, I think even
more so after Clent's mom
passed away," she said "1 think
it's something bigger than baa
ketball and I think it's an awe-
some thing for us to have sup-
port for thai."

places to recycle various items

(afltinuHl from Paget
the bathroom - two of mixed
office paper, two of newspa-
per. Iwo of plastic bottles and
one of aluminum cans - were
i ust one week's worth of irash,
she said.
"It's a convenience thing
lor people,' Newton said
'Students just don't think
.ihcad They finish off their
drink and they pul it down.
or they finish their Sudoku
and they put the paper down,
and they forget about it. So at
the end of the day when cus-
todians come through, there's
K> much trash I hat we don't
have time lo sort through ev-
erything"
Lack of recycling is not a
laziness issue, Newton said,
but an educational issue She
said students might not even
know the building they're in
has recycling bins, or if they
do, they just don't think about
it
I'art of the issue might be
the fact that not every build-
ing on campus offers easi-
ly ui (.edible recycling. |ohn
Woods, director of custodial
facilities, said he is working
to change that
Most campus buildings
have at least one recycling
bin on their lowest level, but
\\"i >ds said he is trying what
he calls a "desk side recycling
program.'' Each building's of-
fices will receive a three-sec-
tioned recycling container -
one section lor newspaper,
one for magazines and one for
mixed paper At the end of the
day, custodians will collect
the papers and take them to
the lower section of the build-
ing where recycling trucks
will properly dispose of them
Woods said Dykstra, Ack
ert. Durland and Seaton halls
are the only buildings with the
desk side program However,
he said as soon as the depart-
ment receives larger recycling
containers, he plans to make
the program campuswide
"Recycling is important
to reduce the amount of ma-
terial that goes into a landfill;
he said. "Il also reduces the
amount of trees and various
other products that have to
be used to make the paper or
plastic or aluminum cans So
the more you recycle, the less
natural resources have to be
used to make the products"
The campus recycling
program is run by the cuslo
dial department, and there is
no city wide residential recy-
cling pick-up However, stu-
dents can still help out with
the environmental effort from
their own homes.
Howard Wilson, co-own-
er of Howie's, said students
should collect recyclable
items - plastics, papers, card-
board and aluminum products
- and drop them off at How
ie's. If the load is at least five
pounds, he said recyclers can
even receive cash back.
Prices are constantly fluc-
luating and vary from item to
item, but to get an idea of the
payback, Wilson said alumi-
num cans are currently worth
40 cents a piece if they are
part of a load between 5 and
100 pounds.
Howie's also provides
Manhattan residents with an
opportunity to help local and
national charities by recy-
cling.
When dropping recycla-
ble items in a designated bin,
Howie's will donate the item's
worth to the bin's respective
organization. The three main
organizations are Habitat
for Humanity, the Manhat-
tan Humane Society and the
Aquatics Center Wilson also
said anyone can set up an ac-
count with Howie's to have a
donation box for individual
organizations like churches.
Newton said she and her
husband always take their
household recycling to How-
ie's and want students to
know recycling is "not the
pain in the butt" some people
make it out to be.
"'Not to be preachy," she
suid. "but I would love stu-
dents lo think about - in-
stead of just dumping paper
off onto a chair and leaving it
somewhere - to take that two
seconds between waiting for
class or entering class or leav-
ing class, to go and toss il in a
recycling bin. Just don't throw
it away"

pus lo make a larger effect.
"I'm not trying to keep
this campaign in just the greek

said "I've been meeting with
different groups on campus
lo create essential movements
with environmental issues."
Hamm's strategic efforts
and passion toward her project
have impressed some members

Macy Wendler, senior in
apparel and textiles and pres-
ident of the Panhellenic Coun-
cil, which sponsors the "Creeks

appreciates Hamm's dedica-
tion.
"1 think her campaign
is a great way to show every-

changes can make and that the

there are 85 million single
people in the United States, 1
can only speculate that most
of those single people feel
the same way about the over-
ly commercialized holiday we
all so lovingly call Valentine's
Day,
To most single people,
Valentine's Day is just another
day of the year, so why should
there be increased Public Dis-
plays of Affection on Feb. 14 ?
I believe some public displays
of affection are alright, but not
full-on make-out sessions, so
I've taken it upon myself to
make a list of great places that
should mi u in PDA
free this Valentine's Day
Though the list is long,
walking through campus was
the first plaee that came to
mind - I can't even begin lo
count the number of times
I've been trapped behind an
extremely touchy -fcety cou-
ple when I'm trying to get to
class or work while walking
on campus. Even if you're in
a committed relationship, it's
still unpleasant to gel stuck
behind one of those couples
when you have places to he
The only thinj; ii'iirse than
being stuck behind a PDA
loving pedestrian couple is be-
ing stuck behind PDA loving
drivers. The streets on cam-
pus are narrow, so there s no
need to hold up traffic when
you're dropping off or picking
up a significant other on cam
pus You'll only be away from
them for 50 minutes generally.
so try lo refrain.
When people go to the li-
brary, it's usually lo study. I'm
in my last year at K-State, and
when I go to the library, it's
when I really need to hit the
books hard The task of study-
ing is made that much harder
when 1 have to drown out the
couple at the next table who
are M over each other
Most students go to
the K-State Student Union
lo pass some extra nmc be
lw eeti classes or to grab lunch,
so please don't be that cou-
ple who makes other students
lose their appetite or the meal
ihey vc already eaten I've also
had to use a different ATM
in the Union because cou-
ples who just can't seem to get
enough of each other block
the line. All I wanted lo do
was get some cash
There's no place more
Inisirattng to be stuck behind
PDAs than at a sporting event
I'll admit I have some friends
who are in relationships who
seem to be more touch-orient-
ed than most, and they hang
on each other at games, but I
always try to say something to
i hem After all. you did pay to
watch the game and hopefully
not for your significant other
At any rate, Valentine's
Day isn't different from any
other day of the year, so may-
be we should work as a stu-
dent body to reduce the
amount of PDA we showcase
on a year-round basis. Every-
one knows you should like the
person you're dating, but in-
stead of smothering each oth-
er in public why not try other
alternatives''

Wives find ways to send their love to husbands overseas
CARLY
HANNON
It's hard enough trying to
plan the perfect Valentine's
Day for your significant oth-
er, but try-
ing to do it
when they're
fighting a
war over-
sea* makes
if more dif-
ficult. De-
ployments
are becoming
more com-
mon these
days, but
that doesn't
change the fact that it's hard
for couples to be apart on
those special holidays.
As an army spouse, 1 can
say from personal experience,
those long months apart are
hell. It's not just the day-to-
day hassles that make it al-
most unbearable; it's also the
anniversaries, the holidays
and especially Valentine's
Day.
While other couples are
having romantic candlelit din-
ners and celebrating their love
for one another, militar spous-
es are either trying to pretend
it's any other day or are out
binge drinking in Aggieville
along with the lonely singles
of Manhattan There are a few
things, though, that we can
do for our brave soldiers to lei
them know they are appreci-
ated and extremely loved, es-
pecially on Valentine's Day.
Lisa Portz, an Army Na-
tional Guard wife for more
than 12 years, tried to help
her husband feel special on
All Saint's Day while he was
deployed to Kosovo She sent
a romantic card and candy for
all of the soldiers in his unit.
"It was important to cele-
brate the day because regard-
less of what holiday it is. it's
hard on them, whether or not
they want to come out and
admit it," Portz said.
Her husband, Sgt 1st
Class Kit Portz was deployed
lor nearly 18 months to Camp
Bondsteel. This was the cou-
ple's first deployment and first
lime in 10 years they were nol
together for Valentine's Day.
"It sucked Every year he
would send me flowers and
take iii'' out to a nice restau-
rant Bui he made up for not
being there by sending me a
card with a drawing of a bou-
quet," Portz said
Sending care packages
and letters are great ways to
show soldiers how much they
are missed back home Cheryl
Smith, manager of the West
loop UPS store, recommends
sending your packages a few
weeks in advance.
"Priority mail takes one
to three weeks and Parcel
Post can take six weeks to ar
rive at an APO in Iraq or Af-
ghanistan." Smith said.
While UPS offers excel-
lent service, a great cost-cut-
ting tip would be to send your
gifts in a flat-rate box provid-
ed at any US post office. You
will be limited by the size of
the boxes but as long as the
box can close on itself, it will
only cost $8 95 to ship any-
where in the United States
and to any military post office
Having sent quite a few
care packages myself. I know
it can get to be pretty expen-
sive pretty fast. I also recom-
mend using several flat rate
boxes if you have many to
send because it ends up being
cheaper than just putting ev-
erything all in one big box
No matter how you ship
it, your loved one will appre
ciatc getting something re-
minding them of home.
For Krislen Tebow, soph-
omore in criminology, and her
boyfriend PFC Tyler Low, this
Valentines Day will be espe-
cially hard apart because it's
also their first -year anniver-
sary. Low left for Iraq in Sep-
tember 2007 and is due to
come back home next Decem-
ber. This is the first deploy-
ment lor both of them.
To commemorate Valen
tine's Day and their anniver-
sary. Tebow plans on sending
a homemade blanket, cook-
ies, a case of Red Bull and a
DVD with pictures of the cou-
ple throughout the year.
When asked what her
plans were for Valentine's
Day. Tebow said, "I'll prob-
ably get together with my
friends who also have boy-
friends that are gone. We'll
probably end up watching
movies and trying not to think
about it."
Though every day is hard
when your military spouse
is deployed, it's holidays like
Valentine's Day that you want
to make sure they know they
are deeply loved and truly
missed Even though they will
be opening their gifts in less
than perfect conditions, get
ling a card or a box brightens
their day just knowing some-
one, somewhere cares for
them

KANSAS STATE COLLEGIAN
This Valentines Day, don't end up buying a
gift your guy won't like.
"Tb tell you the truth," said DeMarkus Cole-
man, Footlocker sales associate and sophomore
in business "The stuff the ladies come in and
buy, a couple days later it's being returned or ex-
changed because the men don't particularly care
for what their ladies chose for them. Like earli-
er today a man returned two pairs of shoes that
his girlfriend bought him as a gift. Women have
good taste m certain things, but when it comes to
sneakers, I don't know."
One of the most popular gifts is cologne.
Coleman said he recommended the scents of
Usher and unforgivable by Sean John.
However, Matt Shull, Zales store manager,
said watches are a popular gilt item.
"1 would say one of the most popular gift
ideas for men from women for Valentine's Day is
a watch," he said. "Watches most often for a holi-
day like this, the gift will be designed for fcrmal or
evening wear. It hints (o the gentleman that they
should go out to dinner more."
Shull, K- Stale alumnus, said he doesn't rec-
ommend cologne because he considers it the ul-
timate (all back gift. A nice evening with a home-
made cooked meal is something practical. He said
boxers arc a great gift that he has received many
times But. he said don't buy any with hearts or
such, just get solid colors that way they are more
usable
One of the most useful and can't go wrong
presents are gift cards
Kelly Kohout, Game Stop sales associate and
junior in English, said, gift cards actually convey a
message of I don't know whal to get you because
1 don't know you that well. However, a gift card
allows the guy to get what they want.
Popular items at Game Slop are 360 games
like Call of Duty 4 and Assassin's Creed, Guitar
Hero 5. and occasionally accessories and cum
puter games Kohout said Tools are another gift
idea for any man. Adam Mahlstedt, hard line su-
pervisor at Sears, said. "Sears carries in depth la-
ser levels and laser tools. We're also the only ones
who carry laser engraved mechanics" tools and
we also have portable sluff that can be laser en-
graved with their initials "
He said you can spend anywhere from $20
to $200 and even reach into the SI. 000 for me-
chanics' tool sets and toolboxes. Scan also sells
electronics lhat go over well Mahlstedt said Scars
is selling at a lot of small items this year, such as
digital cameras.
Shull's favorite holiday is Valentine's Day
and he said, "Don't gel something cliche. 1 think
you should buy anything, but roses for Valentine's
Day. Gel something different Stand out."
Since Valentine's Day is on a Thursday this
year make it an extended holiday and lake a vaca-
tion with your special someone, I'aulowniu Clark,
Dillards lop men's sale associate and senior it l bi
ology, said
"I think it is the most romantic time to take a
couples trip on Valentine's Dm" she said I think
this lime it is on Thursday, so if you let! on Thurs-
day and went lor the whole weekend I think that
would be great Evcrybixly can use a vacation so
why not make il your lover's holiday to do so"

Petals of love
Flowers are popular V-Day gift for women
By Nkole Jo h niton
KANSAS STATE COLLEGIAN
Flowers are a popular
gift for anyone on Valentine's
Day That's why the local flo-
rists spends a month of cha-
os in preparation for the big
day.
"Valentine's Day at
Acme is crazy, exhausting
and fun all at the same time"
said Diane Meredith, co-
owner of Acme Gifts in Ag-
gieville. "We are really excit-
ed about Valentine's Day this
year"
Flower shops around
town are already getting in
large shipments of flowers
and preparing for the holi-
day.
"We always have a theme
song, so when it's 1 a.m. and
we are feeling tired we can
all get up and feci energized,"
Meredith said
Preparation for Valen
tine's Day starts earlier than
one would imagine. Meredith
said after the rush of Valen-
tine's Day. they immediate-
ly sit down and talk and lake
notes about how everything
went and what to do differ-
ently next year.
Karen .Medlin, owner of
Westloop Floral, said she has
received orders this year as
early as January.
"Some guys were tired
of waiting in line last year,
so they made their orders In
January," Medlin said. "We've
already started preparing We
get flowers in everyday, and
we have to follow procedures
to make them last long"
Both florists agreed the
chaos changes from year to
year, but one aspect that is
the same every year is the
long day of deliveries. Med-
lin said their shop delivers
until the flowers are gone,
which can lead to late hours.
Acme Gift delivery driv-
ers are sent out with spe-
cial packs to help them get
through the day The packs
include candy, granola bars,
maps and other essentials.
"I try to talk people into
sending their flowers the day
before Valentine's Day but
it's hard because everyone
wants their flowers delivered
on the day," Medlin said
Shaun Kirmer. K State
alumnus, said he is think-
ing about having his flow-
ers delivered the day before
to avoid the hassle and busy-
ness His wife's favorite flow-
er is a lily, and she's not the
only who enjoys those flow-
ers. Lilies are popular every
year at both Westloop and
Acme. But their best sellers
are very different.
"Hands-down our most
popular flower year round
is the daisy," Meredith said
"Hoses are low on our list be-
cause people come here for a
different selection."
Roses are on the top of
the list for Westloop Floral
shoppers.
"We sell hundreds of
dozens of roses for Valen-
tine's Day," Medlin said. "All
together we sell several thou-
sand roses. Our best seller
each year is the dozen-rose
arrangement"
While each shop has dif-
ferent customers, the flowers
at each are premium flowers
with creative designs
Medlin said they do sev-
eral special designs with
trendy containers and other
design aspects She said the
designs in the past years have
become more compact, many
of same flowers in a vase and
no greenery.
"Something people need
to be aware of is when they
order online with an or-
der gatherer, the purchase
will cost them more," Med-
lin said "They retain a por-
tion of the money, where as if
going to the shop, you'll save
money There are no addi-
tional fees, just flowers plus
delivery Also, in the shop
you see what the selection is,
when online they might not
be the nicest or freshest."
For those who are look-
ing to please their significant
other and are short on cash,
Meredith said an orchid is a
good choice.
"Orchids are pretty har-
dy and not very expensive."
she said "A few dollars a
stem and we can add trop-
ical leaves and make any-
one think they are on spring
break."
While men and women
of all ages buy flowers, Med-
lin says this is the one time
when men really turn out in
numbers.
"People love to get flow-
ers, everyone is excited and
happy when they get them,"
she said "It makes anyone
feel really special"

Throwing a Valentine's party offers fun, simple alternative for singles
By Elise Ntmti
KANSAS STATE COLLKilAN
Couples aren't the only people
who can celebrate Valentine's Day
Remember in elementary school
when svciyoiM looked forward to
Feb 14. because it meant eating
sweets and was an excuse to party?
Why not do the same kind of ecle
brating if you're single and in col-
lege:' Gather up plenty of friends to
have a bash so exciting that guests
will want to break their Valentine's
Day dates with significant others
and hang out at your place instead.
Send out invites online so ev-
eryone knows the details about the
party Use the Facebook.com events
application to determine, which
people will show up and to make
any changes to the plans
Decorating for a Valentine's
Day party should be cheap and easy.
You don't need to impress anybody,
but it's an occasion different from
any random, Thursday night house
party
Wall Pesaresi, owner of Mr
P's Party Outlet on Poyntz Avenue,
said his store has a variety of dec-
orations including banners, cen-
terpieces, red party beads and bal-
loons.
"Balloons are a very inexpen-
sivc and simple way to decorate,"
Pesaresi said. "We runt helium tanks
and do balloon deliveries, and we
have a large selection ui latex and
mylar balloons."
Pesaresi suid at 70 cents a bal-
loon, a person could make a state-
ment by building a balloon wall us
ing multiple strings attached to
weights, each with five balloons on
a string. He also said a centerpiece
that uses only three balloons saves
money and wouldn't block the
v table. Pesaresi said the store
will open two hours early on Valen-
tine's Day to accommodate custom-
ers.
Buy drinks earlier in the week
and make food beforehand so you
won't have to rush around the day
of the party or risk a store being out
nf what you need,
If you want to have party favors
lor guests, take advantage of sea-
sonal-product ttim at superstores
This time of year. Target sells small
Valentine's Day merchandise for
approximately SI a piece Since it
is almost guaranteed there will be
I chocolate fiend at the party, stock
up on Valentine's Day candy Must
stores offer specials this week on a
variety of candy and gill packages
Make your guests feci cared for:
that is one Valentine's Day tradition
that should be followed

Cooking at home offers alternative
to eating out on Valentine's Day
NICOLE
JOHNSTON
Let's face it, waiting for a
table at a restaurant is not un-
ci >inmon in this town - espe-
cially on hol-
idays and
Valentine's
Day. Every
year, couples
go to restau-
rants to en-
juy a spe-
cial dinner
and spend a
large amount
of lime just
waiting to get -
a seat in the
process.
This Valentine's Day, try
staying home and bringing
out the apron. This could be
the holiday you cook a spe-
cial dinner together, and you
might end up stirring up some-
thing else as well.
According to a survey
ComingWare gave, there are
a number of benefits to cook
ing together like talking more,
laughing more, working better
as a team and being more re-
laxed The survey also showed
couples who cook together are
more likely to be very satisfied
with their relationships.
The entire process from
start to finish is the perfect op-
portunity for couples to have
fun and spend time together
Choosing the meal might be
the most difficult thing, with
so many options to choose
from, where will you start?
Here are several ideas in-
cluding entree and dessert
Pick one of each or use re-
sources like ioodnetuiork.com.
recipelinkcom or atlrecipes.

Now, enjoy the experi-
ence of grocery shopping to-
gether No matter how long
you've been together, this
could be time taken advantage
of. Not every grocery shopping
experience needs to be made
into one of substance but for
Valentine's Day it can be Sc
lecting all the ingredient* and
deciding together is a great
way to work as a team and
leam more about each other.
Cooking should be fun. so
enjoy it. Turn on some music.
and gel started Each person
having a hand in helping will
really get things going Prom
cooking to clean-up, you will
enjoy an evening focused on
your relationship, something
you can't get at a restaurant.
Valentine's Day isn't just
about giving and receiving
gifts, it's about showing your
love and appreciation for oth-
ers of significance in your life
Cooking on Valentine's Day
is obviously not just limited to
couples. It is also a great op-
portunity for friends to get to-
gether and share the respon-
sibilities of putting together a
great tasting meal.
The costs of cooking a
meal for two can be much
cheaper than eating at a res-
taurant as welt Whether it's
a couple or friends, everyone
can split the costs of groceries,
making this affectionate activi
ty affordable for all.

Mike Huckabee swept Ri-

Riley County had 439 par-
ticipants Saturday morning at
Pottroff Hall in CiCo Park.
Huckabee received 204 votes
while McCain captured sec-
ond with 137 votes. Overall.
Huckabee received the state's
entire 36 delegates
McCain still leads in to-
tal delegates as of Sunday af-
ternoon with 714 pledged del-
egates next to Huckabee's 217
pledged delegates, according
to jvwtff.CNN.com. Holly Pri
esen, Riley County Republican
Women secretary and Hucka-
bee spokeswoman, said Huck-
abee still can win the Republi-
can presidential nomination.
Friesen spoke her limit of
10 minutes about Huckabee's
governorship and platform is-
sues with several interruptions
of audience applause
"Huckabee understands
that leadership is serving peo-
ple," Friesen said "He prom-
ises to do what he did in Ar-
kansas and put a framed pic-
ture up in the White House.
That's not a picture of him but
a picture of a regular citiien so
that he never forgets I work

A believers voice
Christian rapper
uses radio, lyrics
to share faith
with campus
By Amanda Keim
KANSAS STATE COLLEGIAN
At age 20, Clifford Watkins has al-
ready experienced what some might define
as a miracle. During his senior year of high
school, Watkins encountered a life-altering
moment that few others will ever experi
ence.
While working at St. Luke's hospital in
his hometown of Kansas City. Mo., Watkins,
sophomore in pre- journalism mass commu-
nications, said he was approached by a man
who turned his life around He steered Wat-
kins off the "normal" path of high school
stud enls and gave him a 360-degree turn to-
ward the Lord, Watkins said
The man asked Watkins if he knew Je-
sus. Though Watkins answered yes, the man
proceeded with his questioning, asking if
Watkins truly knew him.
"It opened my eyes,'" Watkins said. "1
was supposed to do more than go to church,
I was supposed to move and follow him."
When meeting Watkins, he appears to
be any other college student but once he be-
gins to speak, it is obvious that he is differ-
ent. Passion and confidence fall freely from
his lips with dramatic flavor. His personality
is a culmination of faith, diligence and trust
that is rarely found.
Making a change to follow the Lord
left Watkins fighting several internal battles.
Growing up, he was forced to attend Sun-
day services, which hindered, rather than
helped his faith. Watkins said his family at-
tempted to "provide as much support in this
sudden transformation as possible."
"My parents support me but they don't
know exactly where I'm coming from," he
said. "They're not as strong as I am."
As an initial transition into his new life,
Watkins. removed many of the adverse sub-
stances in his life.
"One of the first things I did was get
rid of all my CDs - my cussing, rap CDs
Another change that I made was not hav
ing relations with my girlfriend and stuff
like that," Watkins said. "I was really serious
about changing my life"
Watkins said the change was extremely
difficult Not only was his family struggling
to grasp his newfound conviction, but his
friends also strived to understand.
"I kind of felt alone." he said "I started
making new friends, but it was really hard
for me because my friends in high school
didn't really understand This was my senior
year and I wasn't getting along with them
like I used to We ended up going our sepa-
rate ways."
Though Watkins lost his high-school
friends, coming to K-State introduced him
to a new set of individuals. He could reach
out to these individuals and form a connec-
tion driven by faith
Kristel Williams, sophomore in elemen
lary education, has been friends with Wat-
kins for about two years.
"We're best friends I think what has
made our friendship so strong is Christ,"
Williams said. "I was seeing another male

Clifford Watkins performs at the 1 1 a.m. Sunday service at Manhattan Christian Fellowship. Watkins
said he considers his music to be a part of the Christian hip-hop movement.
Mitt Castro I COLLEGIAN
Clifford Watkins, sophomore in pre-journahsm and mass communications, DJs Sunday night at the
Wildcat 91,9. Watkins plays Christian rap music during his shift
with a Bible on campus and we started do-
ing Bible study. We've been sharing our past
and our testimonies. When he talks, it's re-
ally enlightening, the things we talk about.
Just knowing that those thoughts can come
from somebody so young is pretty amaz-
ing."
Though Williams did not know Watkins
prior to his conversion, she admits to being
astounded by his past.
"All the things he used to do before, I'm
just like, there's no way you used to do that
kind of stuff, because the change is so dras-
tic," she said

tion of the Lunar New Year
Tien Le, senior in civil en
gineering and president of K-
Slate's Vietnamese Student As
sociation, said the group orga-
nized the event with the help
of the Asian American Student
Union and the Japanese Stu
dent Association
Le said the Lunar New
Year is celebrated throughout
Southeast Asia, not just in Chi
na. Le also said one of the rea-
sons the event was organized
was to raise local awareness of
issues in Southeast Asia.
"We wanted to bring a lot
of global issues to Ihe people in
attendance," Le said "There are
a lot of things going on in South-
east Asia that people don't real
ize. and children trafficking is
just one of them"
In addition to the help of
the other Asian- American stu
dent groups on campus, Le and
the event's organizers looked
beyond rv Stale's campus to
book performers.
Trie function City Tee Kwon
Do and Mui Tai group demon
strated one of the branches of
martial arts. Rico Steele, a mem-
ber of the group, performed in
the group's demonstrations.
The demonstrations in-
cluded traditional and weapon
forms to showcase Ihe group's
fighting style. Steele said
Steele said the most inter
esling part for him was getting
to experience cultures he had
not before
"I'm from Tennessee, and
there are not a lot of [Asians)
there, but I can come out here
and check it out for myself,"
Steele said
Steele's group was not the
only martial arts group that per-
formed at the celebration.
Honorable Tiger Martial
Arts, a Kung Fu group through
the UFM. also displayed its style
of martial arts

a deeper reason for its perfor

"Anytime we can cele

McCain visits Kansas on campaign trail
By Aubrt* Caspar
KANSAS STATE COLLEGIAN
WICHITA - Just one
day after Republican presi-
dential hopeful and former
Massachu-
setts Gov
Mitt Rom
ney sus-
p e n d e d
his bid the
2008 pres-
i d e n t i a I
race, Sen.
John McCa-
in, R-Ariz .
brought j
new message to Kan sans.
McCain, slated as the
likely winner of the Repub-
lican nomination for presi-
dent, was in Wichita on Fri-
day afternoon at the Hawk
er Beechcraft Service Center
ui an effort to bring Kansas
conservatives the message
that he holds a socially and
fiscally conservative voting
record in Congress.
Former presidential can-
didate Sen. Sam Brownback,
R-Kan.. introduced McCain.
McCAlN
Brownback detailed McCa-
in's time as a prisoner of war
and said the US needs a
president who has "suffered
for our country." He also dis-
cussed recent thoughts on
McCain's growing liberal-
ism by bringing up his con-
sistent pro-life and pro-Sec-
ond Amendment stances as
a legislator.
After establishing a com-
mon ground with the audi-
ence by sharing that his hero
has been and always will be
former Sen Bob Dole, R-
Kan., McCain first addressed
his feelings on Romney's de-
parture from the race He
said together, he and Rom
ney are "committed to unit-
ing the (Republican] Party
and winning this election,"
hinting to the former Massa-
chusetts governor as a possi-
ble running mate
Speaking as a Con-
gressman, McCain said he
has "never asked for nor re
ceived an earmark for Arizo-
na, and as president will veto
any bill that comes across
his desk asking for any ear-
mark"
He assured conservative
voters that he supports the
privatization of the health
cue system and favors low-
er taxes and less government
control
McCain also remarked
on the competitive market
Wichita and all of Kansas
supports.
As president, McCain
vowed to "open every mar-
ket in the world for Kan-
sas products because [Kan-
sas] is home to some of the
"world's most productive
and effective workers."
McCain also touched on
his plan to eliminate waste-
ful spending and in turn he
hopes to give every child in
America a $1,000 tax credit
With a metal bracelet
engraved with the name of
a fallen soldier on his wrist,
McCain turned his focus to
the war in Iraq. Once a pic-
ture of the evil found in Iraq
had been painted, McCain
countered the Democratic
plan for Iraq
If we had set a date to
get out like [Sen Barack]
Obama [D-Ill ] and [Sen
Hillary] Clinton [D-N.Y]
wanted, al-Qaeda would be
celebrating our defeat and
surrender," McCain said
McCain also said
through his experiences,
the judgment and voice of
Iraq Mult i- National Force
Commanding General Da-
vid Petraeus is more impor-
tant than someone seeking
a higher political office and
the U.S. will have success in
Iraq over time.
He also said he will do
everything in his power to
make sure the troops' deaths
are not in vain.
McCain closed by saying
most importantly, as pres-
ident, he hopes to inspire
Americans to serve a cause
greater than their own self-
interests
Kansas voters had the
chance to take McCain's
words to heart as they voted
in the Republican caucuses
on Saturday, where he came
in second to former Arkan-
sas Gov Mike Huckabee.
Huckabee sends message of victory to Kansas, veterans
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
OLATHE, Kan - Sen
|ohn McCain, R-Ariz, might
carry the title "presumptive
Republican »
nominee,"
but Friday
in Olathe,
Kan., former
Arkansas
Gov. Mike
Huckabee
sent a mes-
sage that
he was still
standing.
"We still believe there's a
chance 1 can win this thing,"
McCain's chief remaining rival
told reporters at MidAmerica
Nazarene University one day
before Kansas' GOP caucuses
"Nobody has 1,191 delegates,
and until somebody has that.
HUCKABEE
we dont have a nominee."
In Wichita about four
hours later, McCain accepted
Huckabee's challenge
"We can win in Kansas,"
McCain said.
All the personal attention
from presidential candidates is
rare for Kansas, which typical-
ly picks its delegates long after
party nominees are known
In addition to the McCa-
in and Huckabee visits Friday,
Democratic candidate Sen.
Barack Obama, D-Ill., visited
El Dorado, Kan ., shortly be-
fore Kansas Democrats had
their caucuses on Super Tues-
day.
The GOP contests came
just two days after former
Massachusetts Gov Mitt Rom-
ney suspended his presidential
candidacy, a move that pres-
ents the GOP with two main
choices for the first time. Rep.
Ron Paul of Texas also remains
in the race.
Huckabee trails McCain
in delegates, though he won
five states on Super Tuesday.
Nevertheless, Huckabee
signaled Friday that he still
wanted to win by scheduling
stops in Wichita, Topeka and
Garden City, Kan . besides the
Olathe visit
Before a crowd of hun-
dreds in Olathe. Hucka-
bee chased after conservative
votes by insisting that he is the
only candidate left who is "un-
flinchingly" pro-life, pro-tradi-
tional marriage and pro-sim-
plified tax code
"I look forward to be-
ing the president who nails a
going-out-of business sign lo
the front door of the IRS," he
said.
Huckabee also plrrlprl
to better serve America's vet-
erans, saying he would break
up every monument in Wash-
ington and sell off the pieces to
support them.
Though some in the au-
dience applauded Huckabee's
decision to remain in the race,
not all did
"I think he's hurting his
party," said the Rev. Ron Jack-
son "If they want to win,
they've got to unify."
In Wichita, Kansas Sen.
Sam Brownback introduced
McCain. Brownback endorsed
McCain after he ended his
own White House bid,
Brownback sought to assure
voters that McCain has legiti-
mate conservative credentials,
with a 24-year record of anti-
abortion votes and support of
gun rights
TO TH1 IDITOR
GOP, caucus attendance
disappoint K-State studen
Editor,
I attended the Kansas
GOP Caucus Saturday morn-
ing, and I feel that 1 am obli-
gated to express my sincer-
est disappointment in what 1
witnessed this weekend Hie
GOP leadership and the party
members continue to discour-
age my values and test my pa-
tience Some of my worst fears
about the GOP were realized,
and I am convinced that the
Kansas GOP has lost its way
Looking around at the
caucus I noticed only a dozen
or so college-aged voters, and a
disproportionate number of el-
derly, white men A Grand Old
Party indeed. Moreover, the
lackluster crowd only totaled a
few hundred people and zero
new members were enrolled
This is in comparison to the
1,200 Democratic caucus -go-
ers and nearly 600 new Dem
ocratic members that enrolled
in a single hour on Super Tues-
day This is a trend that is seen
throughout the US., and a
trend I do not see slowing We
are losing, and losing bad.
As for specific cases of in-
credible idiocy from Satur-
day, there are many For one, a
question was raised on the dif-
ferences between the Pair Tax
and the Flat Tax and the can
di dates positions thereon A
GOP leader fielded the ques-
tion by saying that these two
completely different tax k
are the same thing
The crowd nodded in n>
ceptance Also, a comment
was made about why some
Middle Easterners hate Amir
icans. The commentator
gested that they hate Amcn<
because we interfere with their
country - a noble, thought
provoking idea In response at i
other gentlemen asserted tli.it
they hale America because ol
our religion - a less iiitclligen'
yet valid remark But finally hi
older man grabbed the mien i
phone and slated, "They bite
us because they hate us!"
an unintelligible, absurd ttftfc
ment And even so, the crowd
clapped and cheered as if <i
unmistakable truth had just
been phrased. This was sicken
ing and yet was the hallmark • i
the entire event.
So what's wrong? Poll*
show, and I believe, that uV
GOP has lost most of its I ou-
st and ing credibility as the p<ir
ty of small government, 1"
taxes, strong national defen,
(which cannot be confused
with strong national offensr
free enterprise, liberty and En
dom. Therefore, I implore yoi
dear GOP, mend your brokt . i
ways and become a party leu
be proud ol once again.

'To know what he is going through with his family and his mom and for him to still be with us is
real special. That just shows how strong Clent is."- Michael Beasley, FRESHMAN FORWARD
Family business
K-State extends
conference
record to 7-1
By Joel J*lliion
KANSAS STATE COLLEGIAN
Senior guard Clent Stewart didn't play for
K-State Saturday against Oklahoma State, but
he showed up to support the Wildcats on the
bench.
It was support No. 20 K-State (17-5, 7-1
Big 12) needed to survive a physical game as
the Wildcats rolled to victory over the Cow-
boys 82-61 at Bramlage Coliseum, their first
win over Oklahoma State (1 1-12, 2-7 Big 12)
in five year*.
Whether Stewart would attend the game
Saturday was unknown to players or coach-
es, but K-State athletic director Tim Weiser
arranged for Stewart to return to Manhattan
from his mother's funeral service in Oklaho
ma. if he choae to Stewart arrived 10 minutes
before the game started.
'To know what he is going through with
his family and his mom and for him to still be
with us is real special. That just shows how
strong Clent is," said freshman forward Mi-
chael Beasley. "He told us he might be com
ing today but 1 didn't believe him because I
wouldn't come, given the circumstance It
just shows how much Clent cares about the
team.
"We're family. We're not a basketball
team. We're brothers, [and] the coaching staff,
we are just one big family, and that's how we
have to play."
K-State coach Frank Martin said though
Stewart was back, he felt it wouldn't be right
to ask him if he was ready to play
"It's not about winning, it's about life,
whenever his heart tells him he's good to go,"
he said. "If we go 0-10 in our last ten games
and his heart isn't ready to do it . for me to
even ask him when he wants to play would be
an injustice on my part"
The Wildcats opened the game on a 13-2
run with three three-pointers from freshman
guard )acob Pullen With 13:34 left in the first
half, Pullen was four of four on the day from
three-point range, giving K-State a 20 10 ad
vantage
"That's my battle with Jacob; he can play

Senior guard Clent Stewart embraces sophomore guard Chris Merriawathar prior to Saturday's game
against Oklahoma State. Stewart arrived in Manhattan to minutes prior to the game after spending the
morning at his mother's funeral, which started at 9 am in Norman, Okla,
like that u lot more than he does right now,"
Martin said He can't give you two great min-
utes and two awful minutes That's where his
growth has to come; he's got to learn how to
continue to play, continue to stay the course."
As the first half came to a close, Oklaho
ma Slate went on a 9-3 run to cut the Wildcats
lead to 38-33
Martin said the team acted like it had gone
backwards to where it was in November

Junior forward Martlet Gipson attempts a shot over KU's
freshman guard Krystan Boogaard
By Mike D* Vader
KANSAS SIATt COLLEGIAN
The K-State women's basket-
ball team held off a pesky Kan
sas squad Saturday, 64-58. prov-
ing once again records are mean
inglcss when playing in a rivalry
game
In a game in which both
teams shot less than 40 percent
from the field, the intensity of the
play for the in-stale battle was
thick It was such a hard fought
game that sophomore forward
Ashley Sweat received a scratch
on her right arm when she came
out lor the ueond half
The Wildcats (16-6, 8-1 Big
12). had chances to take control
of the game, but the Jayhawks
kept clawing their way back
With about a minute left, senior
forward Marlics Gipson iced the
game by hitting four free throws
down the stretch Gipson fin-
ished with 20 points and 15 re
bounds
"She's pretty much amaz-
ing." said senior guard Kimber
ly Dictz about Gipson s perfor-
mance.
Diet! added 15 points and
also six assists.
Even with Gipson's and Di-
etz's performances, the Wild-
cats couldn't pull away from the
layhwaks, but it didn't surprise
K State coach Deb Patterson.
"From our perspective, it's
Big 12 basketball," Patterson said.
"I was most pleased that in crit-
ical situations individual players
stepped up and made big plays"
Once again. Gipson was one
of those individuals who stepped
up when her team needed her to,
leaving Patterson wondering if
there's anything Gipson can't do
for the Wildcats.
"She walks off the floor
eight-for-16 - 50 percent from
the floor She shoots perfect from
the foul line, she finishes the
night with a double-double, she
spent 38 minutes of the game de-
fending a six -foot -five player and
in the last six minutes of the game
she took the game over," Patter
son said. "1 don't know if there
is anything else that you can ask
her to do"
Saturday's game also was the
second day of "Think Pink" week,
where teams across the country
wore pink to raise awareness for
breast cancer Patterson said the
bottom line is the need tor mak-
ing young people and people
across the community aware
"The game is secondary lo
the fact that, as a sport, women's
basketball could make a state
merit about working to draw at-
tention to the cause of prevent-
ing and curing cancer." Patterson
said.
The Wildcats have recently
felt what it's like to lose someone
tu cancer with the death of Van-
essa Stewart, mother of men's
basketball player Clent Stewart
The Wildcats all wore her initials
on their wristbands during the
game. |unior guard Shalee Leh-
ning said she and the rest of the
Wildcats weren't playing just (or
themselves against KU
"We know Clent very well."
Lehning said "We weren't play-
ing just for our team and our fam-
ily - we were playing for Vanes-
sa"

New Yankee Stadium to cost $1.3 billion, slated to open in 2009
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
NEW YORK - The new
Yankee Stadium will have par-
ty suites, a members-only res-
taurant, a martini bar and a
price tag to match all the lux-
ury - $13 billion, up from the
original estimate of $1 billion
"We tried to reflect a five
star hotel and put a baltfleld
in the middle," said Yankees
chief operating officer Lonn
Troit, who hosted a media
tour Thursday
The new ballpark, set to
be ready for the 2009 season,
li directly across the street
from the old House that Ruth
Built. The site is now a wel
ter of cranes and construc-
tion trailers, with hard-hatted
workers patrolling the infield.
The granite and lime
stone exterior is designed to
evoke Yankee Stadium when
it opened in 1923, before it
was remodeled in the 1970s
But inside there will be
amenities unheard of in Babe
Ruth's day - or in Reggie Jack-
son's.
There will be a conference
area with video conferenc-
ing so that a corporate group
could have a daylong meet-
ing and then stay for a game
A concierge will be available
to procure theater tickets or
restaurant reservations There
will be 51 luxury suites, two
bfgi outdoor suites and eight
party suites with seating for up
to 410 people in total.
The 58 by-103-foot cen-
ter field television screen will
be six times the size of the vid-
eo screen at the current stadi-
um.
The dimensions of the
field will be the same as at the
old ballpark, which will be
partially demolished.
Trost said the cost over-
runs included $150 million in
enhancements such as the gi-
ant video screen, $138 million
in food and beverage costs not
included in the original esti-
mate and $50 million from de-
lays due to a lawsuit by com-
munity groups that sought to
halt construction of the stadi-
um.
The community groups
sued because two city parks
were razed to make way for
the new stadium The Yankees
have said the lost parkland
would be replaced at the site
of the old stadium and else-
where in the Bronx
Asked if the Yankees had
been securing additional fi-
nancing, Trost said, "We will
be."
The Mets' new ballpark,
CitiField, remains on budget
at $800 million and on sched-
ule to open in 2009. While the
new Yankee Stadium will hold
about 53,000 fans, CitiField
will have a capacity of approx-
imately 42,500

PA6E7
Combatives course now open to all students
By Krystle Richard
KANSAS STATE COLLEGIAN
The room was humid as
sweat dripped from their pores.
The gray T -shirts clung to their
bodies. Some faces displayed
grimaces, others looked tri-
umphant as they attempted to
overpower their partner.
This was the scene in
Ahearn Field House during
a KSU Modem Combatives
class, which the College of Arts
and Sciences has now opened
to the general student popula-
tion, said David DumU, com-
batives instructor
AJyssa Mattox, junior in
biology, said she took the class
because she wanted to learn
more than just the techniques
taught in self-defense classes.
"This is applicable to a real
fight," she said. "I learned 1 was
at a serious size disadvantage,
but I learned how to hold off
an attacker until help comes"
Size and gender have lit-
tle importance in the combat-
ive course The class is gen-
der mixed with both men and
women all having a range of
body types.
On the coed nature of the
lonrse, Dumil said the class
does not tolerate sexual harass-
ment Mattox, one of two wom-
en in the course, said it's no dif-
ferent than fighting her broth-
ers at home; however, a wo-
mens only self defense course
also is available.
Dumil said he was proud
the class has a diversity of stu-
dents.
"It's expanded how the
material applies to our lives,"
he said.
Scott Lange, sophomore
in marketing, said though he's
a peaceful person, it's impor-
tant tu know how to properly
defend against an attack.
"You can really tell a dif-
ference," he said. "You know
how effective it is to get in the
right position"
During the class, students
are paired and at the command
of the instructor they confront
each other as if they're in a real
attack. The risk of injury is low,
said Dumil, who explained
what is called the "sparring
ethic"
"It's where we take care
of each other," he said. "They
learn specific safety training,
like tapping out, which tells the
other person if they're feeling
pain."
An injury of one student
would ultimately affect the
class as a whole, he said.
Students also gain knowl-
edge beyond the physical tech-
niques. Dumil encourages the
students to expand their per-
spectives about martial arts;
it includes more than kung-fu
and karate
"Try not to limit yourselves
to just Eastern ideas," he said
"Martial art is like language, it's
uni venal to each culture"
Students learn the history
of martial arts, combative force
and lawful use of force in the
class
Though the combatives
class is less rigorous than the
military course, Dumil said it
is not an easy A Students are
graded on two technique tests,
attendance, participation and
attitude.
Austin Waldo, sophomore
in business administration, said
the best way to be successful in
the combatives class is to re-
member that practice makes
perfect
"It makes you stop and
think about what you're do-
ing." he said.
While many might think
there are ill feelings between
the military and non -military
students, Dumil said the major-
ity of them already are friends.

people it was intended to

Stephen Warner, senior
in architecture and an ROTC
cadet, came to observe the
course. "1 think its a great pro-
gram that builds confidence
and discipline," Warner said
Warner said he plans to
take the course for the military,
and though the leaching styles
are different, the concepts arc
the same
"It teaches you about how
to protect yourself it you ever
get in a bad situation," he said.
"It's either us or them"

has his or her own reason for
the class, they all work togeth-

The Riley County Police
Department it building a da-
tabase to incorporate all of
the local auto-parts stores
and vehicle repair shops to
assist in locating hit-and-run
offenders.
"We'll get a call from one
of the police investigators to
look for a specific car two
or three times a year," said
Russ Keys, owner of RC Aut%
Body.
The RCPD spent a great
deal of time responding to
minor traffic accidents in
the recent months because
of sporadic weather condi-
tions. Along with responding
to standard traffic accidents,
they have also responded to
accidents in which the victim
returns to their parked vehi-
cle to find it damaged.
"Sometimes we have ac-
cidents happen late at night
or in parking lots," RCPD of-
ficer Lori Axion said.
Officer David Etler said
he remembers being on duty
the night of )an 16. The
roads were slick, and even
Etter had trouble negotiating
the streets Etter said he and
his fellow officers were busy
all night responding to mi-
nor traffic accidents caused
by the icy streets.
Paul Bergersen said he
left his 1967 Mustang and
1981 Corvette parked in his
driveway the morning of [an
1 6 When Bergersen returned
home the following Sun-
day, he found both vehicles
totaled, with damages esti-
mated between $15,000 and
$20,000
The driver of the vehi-
cle that hit Bergersen's vehi-
cles did not leave any contact
information nor did the driv-
er contact the police Both of
these acts are misdemeanors,
but offenses that are taken
seriously by Etter.
"I enjoy the hunt," Et-
ter said. "When 1 investigate
something, I spend hours fol-
lowing leads, even if it is in
$8 gas skip."
Bergersen said he ii up-
set because police have not
found the person or persons
responsible.
"The police aren't do-
ing much to help," Bergersen
said.
Etter said he also feels
the frustration in the investi-
gation.
"All we are looking for at
this point is a red car," Etter
said "I've ran all the leads I
can reasonably run"
Axton, who is in charge
of completing the database,
said other problems ham-
per investigations Some-
times there are no witnesses
or no parts from the offend-
ing vehicle left at the scene,
like the situation with Berg-
ersen's case.
The database being com-
piled by Axton and others
only will assist in finding of-
fending vehicles thai lose
parts at the scene Axton said
the police department must
rely on witnesses to help And
the perpetrators in any inves-
tigation, not just hit-and-run
cases.
Axton said he encour-
ages hit-and-run witnesses

hicles involved helps idenli

Not just pots and pans
Illustration by MlR Castro | COlLSdMN
Meals cooked at home offer healthier, cheaper options
Adrianne 0cW««t
KANSAS STATE COLLfcClAN
College students don't need a
culinary education, a huge budget
or many utensils to set up a basic
outfitted kitchen, said a K-State ex
tension associate.
Students should expect to
spend between $1 00-52 00 on
a basic kitchen set, said Karen
Blakeslec, extension associate in
the Food Science Institute with
K- State Research and Extension
Blakeslec also said students' invest-
ments depend on how much they
can afford and where they shop
If you're looking to buy a skil-
let or pots and pans, make sure
they are a heavy-gauge stainless
steel." she said. "Some of them - if
they are really light - can bend and
warp, which isn't good Get the best
that you can afford, if you want it to
last awhile."
Blakeslec also said college stu-
dents should include a basic cook-
book with their kitchen collec-
tions, like a Betty Crocker or Bet
tcr Homes and Gardens cookbook
"I think those are pretty
tried- and true with basic recipes,"
Blakeslee said "If you're new to
the kitchen, that's a good place to
start"
A basic kitchen setup is a great
way for students to cook for them
selves and save money from eating
at restaurants, Blakeslee said
"Nutrition-wise, you can con-
trol how much fat and salt you put
into products, and cooking at home
is a lot cheaper than buying food at
a restaurant a lot of the time," she
said "If your friends are around,
have them join in Take an hour or
so, take a break from everything
and cook yourself a meal It can be
pretty satisfying"
Megan Leonard, senior in bak-
ery science management and K-
State Bakery Science club presi
dent, also said a basic kitchen can
help college students cook simple
meals
"If you can't go out, you have
the things to impress your some-
one, like your boyfriend or girl-
friend, and show them that you
know how to cook," said Leonard,
senior in bakery science and man-
agement
HOW TO SET UP A KITCHEN
According la the Food Network
Kitchens' "How to Boil Water:
Life Beyond Takeout," a beginner's
cookbook, people don't need many
materials to setup a kitchen
Instead, people should pur-
chase tools (hat fit their style of
cooking, how many people they
cook for and the kind of food they
cook, according to the book.
Sharon Davis, family and con-
sumer sciences educator and con-
sultant for the Home Baking As»o
ciation, said she recommends the
following utensils and supplies be-
cause most recipes call for them.
College students don't need
many supplies to outfit a kitchen,
but these are the basic necessities,
she said.
SLOTTED SPOON
Davis said slotted spoons help
scoop out foods that are cooked in
large amounts of water, like simmer-
ing shrimp Students also should
have a separate, bigger spoon that
is high -heat resistant, Davis said.
While high heat plastic spoons cost
more, they also will last longer, she
said.
ONE-QUART AND TWO-QUART
SAUCE PANS
A one-quart sauce pan is rec-
ommended for cooking soups, Davis
said. Large-sized pans also are ideal
for cooking foods like mashed pota-
toes, she said
PIZZA PANS
These pans are multipurpose be-
cause they also are used to cook cook
tes and flat breads, Davis said. How
ever, if students choose to bake oth-
er foods on a pizza pan, they should
have at least two in their collection,
Davis said
12-INCH SKILLET
"^ilels make foods like omelets
and crepes, and Davis said students
should invest in cast-iron skillets be-
cause they last a lifetime. To wash cast
iron, Davis said students should use
boiled water
MISCELLANEOUS
Blakeslee. Leonard and Davis
also said the following utensils are
important basic necessities in college
students' kitchens:
- measuring cups for dry ingredi-
ents and liquids
- measuring spoons
- mixing bowls
- can opener
- several pot holders
- cutting boards
- spatula

Postponing sex can heighten desires, extend relationship
There's the good, the bad
and the times that just don't
count
Sex:
its big. For
some, it's
bigger than
big. Yet for
many college
students, sex
is as routine
as sloshing
around Ag-
gjevilleon
a Saturday
night
like any
routine, sex can get old and
become a game of countdown
quickies and weekend flings
It's a rushed game where be-
twecn-thesheets throw
downs evolve into bored, tired
slowdowns
In three days, millions
will indulge in the most over-
played hand-holding holiday
of the year - Valentine's Day
While many are equipped
ANNETTE
LAWLESS
with the world's finest dark
chocolates, plush teddy bears
and spark! y jewelry, there is
one gift that can rocket any
relationship into a fabulous
world of sexual escapades: an-
ticipation
A dear friend of mine last
week called me to tell me that
a great guy had asked her out
Though a skeptic, 1 wished
her the best for the date, only
to leam that a few days later
she had done the deed - she
and the new guy had sex.
It wasn't entirely shock-
ing to hear I mean, many 20-
somethings engage in sex,
even before thai first date Yet,
they often overlook what they
risk by dipping into a pool of
unknowns - who that person
is, that person's hobbies, weird
habits, etc I'd rather know my
date's middle name before I
know if he likes to be on top.
Rushed into a dating fren-
zy, college students overlook
the power of anticipation -
the power of the lack of sex.
After all, it's the kiss she didn't
get on the first date that will
keep the woman talking - be-
lieve me.
Last year, I started dat-
ing a man I'd known for
years at K State One night,
we were hanging out, joking
around. He touched my arm,
and in that moment, I knew
he wanted me, and I want-
ed him back, t felt like I was
16, equipped with love but-
terflies in the pit of my stom-
ach We kissed. Again, deep-
er, more passionate I giggled
More kissing. It was nice, but
I knew if I caved in and had
sex, it would be all our rela-
tionship would amount to I
excused myself for the eve-
ning, walked myself home and
the next day, he gave me a
call We started dating.
Repressing desire can
only make it more power-
ful. In the case of this man,
and a number of others, hold-
ing back can give you more
You should know the person
you're lying next to at night U
you aren't aware of those little
things that make relationships
last, then you're only digging
yourself a grave in a sexually
frustrated cemetery.
Whether you're a sexu-
al neophyte or veteran many-
years- running, experiment
with your sexual anticipation.
Hold out for that first kiss -
or even better - anchor into
the kiss by kissing the person's
cheeks, forehead, eyelids, etc.
Once you've got the kissing
down, do the same for inter
course or other sexual acts
Nothing's better than a guy
calling you, saying "I've got a
surprise for you tonight." and

be nice to know what's com-

It's not that sex Isn't
great It is. And it's very spe-
cial for two people to final-
ly decide to engage in it. But
you've got to be careful, not
just to heighten your sexual
desires, but also to give your
self room to leam and appre-
ciate that experience even
more. Anticipation doesn't
mean you have to make your-
self a tittle "Dawson's Creek"
teen, smushed between a ver-
bally robust world filled with
sexual angst It gust means
wait a little while String out
the fort-play and intensify the
experience. Sometimes sex
isn't enough, and, somehow,
the lack of sex speaks louder
than the act itself A sex col-
umn about not having sex -
now that's something to talk
about.

Modern version of Valentine's cards
far from humble death-row origin
Valentine's Day has al-
ways teen recognized as the
day of roses, chocolate and,
of course, Valentine cards
3ut few people take the time
fo stop and think about how
nuch work actually goes into
nakmg those cards.
The following article is
from the Feb. 12. 1982, Colle-
euin written bv Charlene Far
ML
A message scrawled to a
|ovcr from a death- row con-
fid in 269 AD has turned into
ane of the largest profit -making
adit ions lor the greeting card
Industry
Valentine's Day - when
lovers express their deepest
feelings, when friends and rel-
atives remember those they
tare about, when grade-school-
i twitter in the comer over
khe valentine received by their
Iiewest sweetheart
People quarrel over the or
Igin of Valentine's Day, but the
nost widely accepted belief is
be story of St. Valentine
While awaiting execution
tor being a Christian martyr,
pt Valentine fell in love with
r lic blind daughter of his jailer.
rough his faith he restored
tier sight He signed his fare-
veil message to her "from your
alentinc." a phrase that has
srome an everlasting symbol
f friendship, affection, caring
and love.
Since the earliest knuwn
valentine, sent in 1415, there
have been some dramatic
changes.
The lace, the frills, the
kweetly rhymed messages have
ilways been classified as tra-
ditional valentines Such cards
■ still part of the valentine
radition, but slowly a new style
Is expanding in the market
John Dinardo, manager
Df public information at Hall-
nark Cards Inc., Kansas City,
■In., said the traditional valen-
tines seem to be losing ground
■o straight -forward prose and
ttore graphics,
"It's a concept held over
rum the '60s when there was
i reaction to anything sensing
of sweetness, which depicted
nsmeenty." Dinardo said. It's
back to the concept of "telling
|t like it is," he added.
Hearts and cupids will
never leave the market, accord-
ing to Dinardo. but other de-
igns are becoming prevalent.
Oriental designs and photogra-
phy are fast becoming best sell-
Ant n her reason for this
trend away from frills and
sweetness is the change in the
greeting-card consumers' age.
"The majority [of buyers]
are in their late 20s, early 30s,"
Dinardo said. "They are more
sophisticated"
Also influencing the
change in cards has been the
influx of women into the job
market.
"They are no longer male
dominated verses," Dinardo
said The cards don't praise
women for household duties or
womanly charms anymore, but
rather for being a good friend,
partner and companion.
Valentine's Day is one of
the few occasions that men buy
cards, Dinardo said. It's not
surprising that they buy cards,
but it is surprising to discov-
er what kinds of cards they do
buy.
"Men will buy the most
sentimental, mushy, loving
cards," Dinardo said. "The
words have to be just right."
Women approach the day
in a sort of casual and blase
manner, he said
They buy the most comi-
cal cards and don't feel like the
world wilJ crumble if they can't
find a card just right for their
tastes, he added
According to a Hallmark
publication, there used to be
one rule of thumb to follow
when designing a valentine:
•'Make it any color as long as
it's red,"
No longer will you be able
to enter a card ship and find
the rows and rows of red-and-
white valentines typical of ev-
ery other year.
Burgundy and blue seem
to be the popular off-colors this
year, Dinardo said.
The color change arose
mainly out of boredom, he
said. An off -colored card shows
contrast, catches a buyer's eye
and produces the best results,
Finding just the right card
may be a tedious process, but
few know the work they are re-
jecting when they place a card
back on the shelf
Each card goes through
300 steps involving 3,000 peo-
ple The plans are sent from
Hallmark in Kansas City to
various Hallmark produc-
tion companies throughout
the country. The cards come
back in the form of lithograph-
ic sheets. The sheets are cut,
flocked, flittered, coated, dyed,
glued, laminated, embossed,
die cut. engraved, glossed and
printed
From the original idea to
the finished product, the pro-
cess takes 18 months
Many Hallmark artists and
writers are now working on
cards for Easter 1984.
"Ask an artist what year it
is, and they'll usually have to
stop and think," Dinardo said.
How do those employees
get inspired about Valentine's
Day in the heat of )uly, or Eas-
ter in February''
A big help is Hallmark's
project kiekoff. Card designers
get together and do skits, plays,
slide present at ii ins - anything
to help set the mood for the oc-
casion.
The inspired artists then
go back to a unique working
environment, which includes
fountains, skylights and 1,400
plants Hallmark developed
this environment to study the
creativity level of artists in rela-
tion to their surroundings
"We wanted to see what
makes an artist creale better,"
Dinardo said The experimen-
tal room is somewhat isolated.
Artists have no phones to in-
terrupt them and can make oc-
casional phone calls from one
of the few Old -English phone-
booths.
Because the experiment
is producing positive results,
eventually all of the writers and
artists will be in similar sur-
roundings. Dinardo said.
With double -digit infla-
tion, most people find it diffi-
cult to spend money on "ex-
Iras."
The economy has made it
difficult for people to send ros-
es, or buy candy or gifts - not
only on Valentine's Day. but for
Christmas and birthdays also.
"The economy actual-
ly helps [Hallmark]," Dinar-
do said. "It's sort of a double
windfall"
To cut down on expens-
es, consumers will send cards,
Dinardo said And to make up
for not buying a gift, consumers
will buy a more expensive card,
he added
Probably each one of the
1 .520 different types of Hall-
mark valentines will appeal to
MNMOM this year - wheth-
er poetic, graphic, frilly, con-
versational or comical But all
the different tastes will nev-
er blot out the unique quality
of a greeting card: It is the only
item always purchased to be
given to someone else.

FORCE IN GAZA STRIP
JERUSALEM - Prime Minister Ehud Ol
mert ruled out a broad military operation on
Sunday in the Gaza Strip, deflecting rising an-
ger after an 8 -year old boy lost a leg in a Pales-
tinian rocket attack
But Israel's tup diplomat warned it will be
impossible to reach a peace agreement will) Pal

continue to foment violence
"Anger is not an operational plan," Olniert
said in response to clamoring for a full-scale in-
vasion of northern Gaza to take over the areas
where militants have been launching the rock-
ets. There were calls from the Cabinet for assas-
sinating Manias political leaders
Residents uf the battered town of Sderut
near Gaza blocked the main highway intranet
into Jerusalem as the Cabinet met They de-
manded government action after doctors ampu
tated Osher Twito's leg following a rocket attack
that also wounded his 19-year-old brother
"He loves playing soccer, but he will never
play again," Osher's mother, Ins Twiio, wailed
on Channel 2 TV "How can he play now with
no leg?"
Over the weekend, with growing defiance
and confidence, Hamas militants called on Is-
raelis to flee from border towns as the rockets
rained down. The two brothers were wounded
Saturday night when a rocket exploded next to
them in Sderol, one of dozens that hit in and
near the town of 20,000 less half a mile from the
fence around Gaza

High Commissioner for Refugees headejuar-
lered in Geneva "They told o( their villages be-
ing looted and burned, and encircled bv mili
tia."
U.N officials say the worsening situation m
Darfur has been exacerbated by a recent rebel
attack on the capital of neighboring Chad Chad

of backing those rebels in a bid to prevent de-
ployment of a European peacekeeping force
in the Chad-Sudan border region where some
400.000 refugees are living

The No. 1 doubles team
of junior Kalerma Kudlai'kuvu
and senior Olga KJimova had
some early trouble with the Bil-
likens' Amanda Hellberg and
Casey Miller, falling behind 2-0
early before rallying for an 8-3
win Coach Sieve Bietau said
improvement is key to avoid
situations like that from hap-
pening.
"They just had a slow start,"
he said. "I wish they didn't have
a slow start, but sometimes it
happens. Hie important thing
is. and 1 know ihey understand
it. is to improve"
Overall, Bietau said he was
pleased with the doubles play.
"They did a good job tak-
ing care of business," he said
"We had a slow start, but once
they overcame it, il was no
problem"
Little changed in singles
play. The Wildcats continually
dispatched their Billikens op-
ponents quickly Yrureta beat
Hellberg, 7 5, 6 3, Cottin de-
feated Grant, 6-2, 6-0; Kud
lackova overpowered McCul-
lagh, 6-2, 60. Huljev topped
Miller, 6-3. 6-2; and Klimova
bested McKenna, 6-1, 64.
Sophomore Natasha Vie
ira, playing in the No 4 spot,
faced a more formidable chal-
lenge from the Billikens' Beck
er. The two battled back and
forth before Vieira came out
victorious 6-4, 6-7 (7-4), 6-3
Bietau also had positive things
to say about the singles perfor-
mances.
"Generally pretty good,"
he said, "1 thought they real-
ly played well at one and made
Vivi (Yrureta) work and she
did We moved Natasha up a
spot today just to give her a lit-
tle tougher match and she got
it and came through and did a
nice job - so, just a pretty good
job taking care of business"
Going into Tuesday's
match-up against the Wichi
ta State Shockers, Bietau said
that the perpetual problems of
where to place players are less
ening with ume
"We have a good idea of
where people are right now,"
he said "But we have some
positions that 1 think can be
changed depending on a player
might be at one position in the
line-up today and just because
of a match-up. So the good
thing is there is competition
for spots and having more than
one option available I have a
good idea of what our line-up
is now but that doesn't mean it
won't change."
The Wildcats, 2 for the
first time since 2003. will re-
turn to action at 5 p.m Tuesday
at Ahearn Field House agaioil
the No. 33- ranked Shockers^.
At the end of the day, Bie-
tau said he was fairly sal lifted
with the decisive win over tttc
Billikens.
"I'd say it was a pretty
good performance," he sbS
"It was a kind of match where
you are not going to play great
But I was pleased with how we
played"

Lu said problems arise,
though, because China wants

"The relationship can be

Lu, who has taken stu-
dents to China several limes in
the past few years, said many
Chinese people show respect
for the U.S.
"Overall, 1 think a lot of
people admire the cconom

the military power," he said
Lu said the American in-

jeans, a T-shirt and a baseball
cap, and cat at American res-
taurants.
"I went to the Eastern part
of Tibet, and it literally was on

Reagan said Chinese stu-
dents will get the opportunity
to meet the Chinese ambassa-
dor at a lunch Tuesday morn-
ing, but no seats will be re
served for the lecture.
"We really value the op-
portunity to meet him and also
show him what it's like here at
K State for Chinese students,"
said Xiaobao Dang, graduate
student in economics.
Dang said the two coun-
tries have many similarities
and many differences, but there
is much the two countries can
learn from each other.
Ambassador Zhou will be
the third foreign ambassador
to speak in the Landon Lee
ture Series since 2005 - Sau-
di Ambassador Prince T\ir

2007 and Japanese ambassa-
dor Ryozo Kato spoke in Oc-
tober 2005
Reagan said the atten-
dance at those lectures was
strong and the crowds re-
sponded positively to the am-
bassadors' messages.
"I think people were very
interested with what they had
to say about world events and
the relations between the US.
and their country," he said.
Zhou's lecture original
ly was scheduled for Oct 10,
2007, but was rescheduled at
the ambassador's request Re a
gan said a question and- an-
swer session will follow the
hour- long lecture.

K State opened the sec-

KANSAS STATE COLLEGIAN
MONDAY, FEBRUARY 11,2008
CAUCUS I Local residents participate
Continued from ?»gt 1
"typical audience" and a fairly
representative with age and race
diversity
In contrast to Saturday's
439 participants, more than
1.000 people participated in Ri-
ley County's Democratic caucus
Tuesday at the K-State Student
Union Ballroom.
I think considering one
of the major candidates had
dropped out earlier in the week,
it was a good turnout," Bagby
said. "It went fairly quickly when
the candidates started to speak,
and it was a very pleasant morn-
ing"
The Kansas caucus results
will determine the presidential
candidate who Kansas delegates
will support at the Republican
National Convention in Septem-
ber 2008, according to the slate
party's Web site To win the Kan-
sas delegates, a candidate must
win the majority vote in two of
the four Congressional Districts
The Republican Party re
quires a total of 1.191 delegates
to capture the nomination at the
Republican National Conven-
tion in September 2008.
Former New York Mayor
Kudy Giuliani, Former Ambas-
sador and Author Alan Keyes;
Former Massachusetts Gov Mitt
Romney and former Tennessee
Sen. Fred Thompson also ap-
peared on Saturday's ballot,
Giuliani and Thompson
have officially dropped out of
the race, but caucus participants
could still vole for them. Though
Romney suspended his presi-
dential campaign Thursday, he
received nine votes at the Riley
County caucus
According to a itrwui.CNN.
corn article Thursday, a cam
paign suspension has a different
meaning for each party With Re-
publicans, decisions on how to
allocate delegates are left to the
state parties, according to the ar-
ticle.
Riley County also received
33 provisional ballots, which will
be determined at the Republican
National Convention this fall.
Bagby said.
Huckabee also won in Lou-
isiana's primary election Satur-
day and came in second place
in Washington Three more pri
marics will take place Tuesday
with 113 total pledged delegates
at stake in Washington, DC,
Maryland and Virginia.
Though no official vot-
ing look place for them, R"veral
Manhattan and slate representa-
tive candidates also were present
at Saturday's caucus.
To participate in the cau-
cus, participants must have reg-
istered as a Republican in Kan
sas's Second Congressional Dis
tricl by Jan. 25 Candidate repre-
sentatives each had 10 minutes
to speak on behalf of their can
didates The Kansas Republican
Party predetermined the candi-
dates' speaking order.
Because no one spoke offi-
cially for Keyes, audience mem
bers were granted a question
and answer and statement peri
od, Bagby said
The Riley County Kepubli
can Party raised more than $800
in donations Saturday for mail-
ing costs, radio advertisements
and costs to rent Pottroff hall,
Bagby said.
The Riley County Kepubli
can Women also had representa-
tives at the caucus Julia Strawn,
Riley County Republican Worn
en president, said the organiza
(ion has a main goal to inform
Riley County residents about Kt
publican candidates at the local,
state aitd national levels
"Last Tuesday, the Demo
crats had a caucus." Strawn said
"It was in a snowstorm and they
had over 1,100 people there
They registered over 600 new-
voters We have a job to do, and
we need all of you."
Manhattan resident Dixie
Roberts, along with city commis-
sioner Bob Strawn, spoke on be-
half of McCain's platform.
"There is no such thing as a
perfect candidate," Roberts said.
"The Republican Party has been
in a struggle, but let us today, in
this place, set a course of work
ing together"
Stan H incline, a Vietnam
War veteran, spoke about Paul as
a champion of the Constitution
"We are the veterans, and
we support Ron Paul because we
swore an oath to protect and de-
fend the United States of Amer-
ica both foreign and domestic
H incline said.
Amy Ward, Manhattan resi-
dent, said she participated in the
caucus because she bad always
wondered what a caucus was
like and she didn't realize Kan-
sas had a caucus
"1 have always voted, and
I've only really worked on one
or two campaigns," Ward said "1
felt more included and involved
in the process in this caucus to-
day."
Ward said she would partic
ipate in future caucuses and was
glad the Kansas Republican Par
ty had its caucus on a Saturday.
"I think in a way it gives
Kansas a unique position be-
cause after Super Tuesday some
of the candidates dropped out
and so it narrowed the scope of
our voting," she said
Not every Manhattan res-
ident had positive comments
about Saturday's caucus. Tim
Wemnger, graduate student in
computer science, said he was
disappointed with the Riley
County caucus turnout, especial
ly with age representation Bag-
by said he had not yet calculated
demographics from Saturday's
caucus participation.
"If you're trying to build a
party or an organization, you've
got to recruit the young people."
Weninger said "Its my pereep
tiun that the Republican Par
ty - my party - is hurting pretty
badly.
"My perception before ffic
caucus what that the Repub-
lican Party was hurting pretty
badly because of the war and the
growth in government spending:
seeing it [Saturday! just really
kind of struck me because there
was maybe 5 percent under the
age of 35-40 years old"
Weninger said he entered
Saturday's caucus without sup-
port for a specific candidate
T ended up voting for [Ron)
Paul because the other can-
didates seemed out of touch,"
Weninger said
Despite his vote for Paul.
Weninger said Huckabee's win
in Kansas was not a surprise.
"I think there was some ap
alhy among McCain support-
ers because they feel they've got
it won," Weninger said. "In the
end. 1 thought McCain would
win. but after seeing the crowd
and hearing the supporters, I
then thought Huckabee would
win 1 really think the McCain
following thinks they've already
got it won."
WATKINS | DJ plays Christian rap
Continued (ram Pig* 1
Coming to K-State not
only presented Watkins
with new friends but also
a variety of new hobbies
and a series of untapped
skills. At the beginning of
his first semester, Watkins
was in the K-State Student
Union when he realized
that the K State radio sta-
tion was seeking volunteer
help Luckily for Watkins,
the opening happened to
be a combination of Wat-
kins past interests and fu-
ture calling: Christian hip-
hop,
"Nobody really knows
about Christian hip-hop so
I'm just giving it some expo-
sure. The only thing I'm do-
ing with my show is show
ing the alternative," Wat-
kins said "There are actu
ally young people out there
who know Christ, There are
young people out there just
like you that love Christ."
Watkins continues to
work as a D) for KSDB-FM
91 9 and interns at KGGN
AM 890, a gospel station in
Gladstone. Mo.
As Watkins D|s, he lets
his love for the Lord flow
into the microphone.
Hand gestures reach
to grasp for an audience
that cannot be seen It is as
thuugh Watkins, who refers
to himself as D) Hizway
on air, reaches out to hand
them a piece of his own full
heart
The message of Christ
that pulses through Wat
kins is not only spreacl
through the waves of ra-
dio but be also shares the
message through live Chris-
tian rap performances Last
year, Watkins and a friend
discovered a recording stu
dio in the library and found
that rapping came fairly
easily for him
' Id been rapping since
I was little, like third grade
It was just something that
felt acceptable to pursue,"
Watkins said "Last year I
started going in there and
making songs and peo-
ple started actually liking
them,"
Williams plays the role
of friend and devoted fan as
Watkins travels to perform
his charismatic Christian
twist on rap. Williams said
W;itk ins often comes to her
with new lyrics to make
sure that they are biblical-
ly sound. She also operates
the video camera at perfor-
mances
"You hear how some
performers have an alter
ego when they're on stage,
and I think that's how he
is," she said "He was a re
ally shy person when I met
htm but when it comes to
him rapping he is just on
fire. The crowd feels it and
he's really rapping about
things that he believes The
crowd interacts, and they're
just as excited as he is."
Watkins inspires in-
dividuals with rap by tell-
ing stories of how the Lord
has moved through his life.
Robert Hall, sophomore in
elementary education, is
one individual who claims
to be bettered by Watkins
influence.
"He's really dedicat-
ed to spreading the gospel,"
Hall said "He's had a re-
ally big impact on my lift-
in the last two years. He's
made me strive to do bet
ter I've become a stronger
Christian, and he's had a
big impact on where 1 want
to go as far as my Christian
ity I wish there was more I
could do for him."
In the last two years,
Watkins has complete-
ly turned his life around
No longer caught up in the
"party scene," Watkins has
opened himself to new ex-
periences centered on em-
bracing the Lord.
"I would have to say
that he is a rare breed," Wil-
liams said. "He's not your
average young adult. Not
only is he a man of God.
but he is trying to live what
he believes in and that's
hard to find in a man or fe-
male these days - someone
who is speaking to what
he believes and just being
bold enough to not follow
the crowd He comes at you
with love and compassion"
The love and compas
sion surrounding Watkins
will continue to drive him
to succeed as a messen-
ger of God. In his message.
Watkins encourages indi-
viduals know (esus the way
that he has come to know
him.
"Christ is big enough to
take away your struggles."
Watkins said "I thought
about all the things I'd
have to give up but in the
end, you just give Christ a
chance to triumph. |ust re-
ally get to know Jesus and
give him a chance. Get
to know him and 1 prom-
ise that he will not let you
down just let him change
your life."

found in
Alabama
By Allison Von*
KANSAS STATE COLLEGIAN
A 15-year-old Manhat-
tan girl reported missing by
her mother on |an 28 was
found Friday, according to
Riley County Police Depart
menl reports.
RCPD Capt Tim Hegarty
said Shirley Stockton was
found in Tuscaloosa, Ala.,
with family friend Prince
Knight, 37 She is physically
fine and has been returned to
her family, Hegarty said.
According to an RCPD
press release, Stockton vol-
untarily left the Manhattan
area with Knight. Stockton
was en route to Lemoore,
Calif., where her father lives,
Hegarty said.
Hegarty said there is no
indication Stockton was held
against her will at any lime,
but there is indication she
w>s misled by Knight. There
is reason to doubt Knight was
going to follow through with
helping Stockton get to Cali-
fornia., he said.
According to the RCPD
press release, Knight was ar-
rested on a Riley County war-
rant fur aggravated interfer-
ence with parental custody
and felony contributing to a
child's misconduct, His bond
was set at $50,000
Additional charges are
likely, Hegarty said.
Speaker asks
for global
response
to HIV/AIDS
By Veronika Novoselova
KANSAS STATE COLLEGIAN
The face of AIDS has
changed - from the disease of
wealthy, homosexual Amer-
ican men to the disease of
South African women who
experience discrimination,
poverty and a lack of educa-
tion.
Elizabeth Lule, manager
of the AIDS Campaign Team
tor Africa at the World Bank,
addressed the issues involv-
ing the changing face of the
HIV/AIDS epidemic in Afri-
ca on Monday in the K-State
Student Union as a part of the
Donald I Adamchak Distin-
guished Lecture Series in So-
ciology and Social Work. Lule
also discussed new data and
the results of several studies
regarding the HIV/AIDS ep-
idemic.
Before joining the team at
the World Bank, Lule said she
worked in Nigeria. Originally
from Uganda. Lule gained ex-
perience in policy and health
reforms, conducted analyt-
ical work and worked with
USAID and the Nigerian
Ministry of Health, where she
found the virus is not preju-
diced against race, gender or
sexual preferences.
During her introduction,
Lule said AIDS has killed
more people than the plague,
and this issue should be con-
sidered a global problem and
major social- and economic-
development challenge.
Though she mostly fo-
cused on HIV/AIDS devel-
opment in Africa, she alio ex-
plained why it is a global is-
sue.
She emphasized that
many people think HIV/AIDS
is only an African problem,
but in reality, Centers for Dis-
ease Control and Prevention

Popular weight-loss pill
offers results, side effects
By Amanda Kcim
KANSAS STATE COLLEGIAN
tn a world consumed by dis-
covering the latest, greatest prod
uct, the weight-loss market is no
exception to the trend.
Alii is the newest product
claiming to be a weight-lots sen
sat ion As the only Food and Drug
Administration approved, over-
the-counter weight-loss product.
Alii has nutritionists across the
country and the K State campus
talking.
According to wuw.myai
ii.com, the pill promises to be a
"pill with a plan" that requires
an individual's commitment to a
new way of life.
"The thing with Alii, the
manufacturers will tell you that
if it's used in conjunction with a
weight-loss diet and regular ex-
ercise, Alii claims to increase
weight loss by 50 percent rather
than just diet alone," said Tanda
Kidd. assistant professor of hu
man nutrition.
If a dieter is able to lose 10
pounds with diet and exercise
alone, taking Alii will result in
the loss of an extra 50 percent,
or 5 pounds, bringing the total
weight toss to 15 pounds
Kathy Grunewald, profes-
sor of human nutrition, said Alii
is a reduced formula version of
Orlistat, which used to be a pre-
scription weight-loss drug
Alii works by absorbing a
quarter of the fat consumed. The
active ingredient, Orlistat, at-
taches to some of the natural
enzymes in the digestive system
and prevents the break down of a
quarter of the fat eaten Undigest
cd fat is unable to be absorbed
L
and proceeds to pass through the
body naturally Alii claims that
this excess fat is not harmful
"Alii works in the digestive
system by blocking the absorp-
tion of fat, thereby decreasing
the number of calories that are
absorbed," Kidd said The prob-
lem is that due to its fat-blocking
ability; persons taking this prod-
uct may experience some side-ef-
fects such as gas with oily spot-
ting or more frequent stools that
may be hard to control ."
Kidd said Alii also might
contribute a decrease in the
amount of fat nutrients absorbed
causing an increased risk of in-
fection, impaired night vision,
muscle weakness, anemia, weak
bones and bruising Manufactur-
ers recommend that people using
Alii also take a multi-vitamin tn
lessen these effects
The Alii plan works by pro
hibiting the amount of fat that a
person consumes. Alli's Web site
recommends about 1,600 calo-
ries each day and no more than
30 percent of those from fat each
day.
"It really works as a negative
consequence. If somebody eats a
really high- fat meal and they're
taking Alii, then they have diar-
rhea-type symptoms after they
eat that meal," said Staci Hen-
drickson, certified dietician and
personal trainer "People I've
worked with who take it say it
really helps them stay away from
high -fat foods and fast foods be-
cause they don't like the conse-
quences when they eat it"
Consequences listed on the
Alii Web site include gas with
oily spotting, loose stools and
more frequent stools that are
hard to control The site also
suggested that when beginning
the program, individuals choose
a time in which they do not need
to leave the bouse. If someone
chooses to leave the house, they
are advised to wear dark pants
and carry an extra pair in case
of uncontrollable bowel move-
ments.
"With Alii, if you want to de-
crease the side effects, the man-
ufacturers recommend you con-
sume no more than 15 grams of
fat with each meal The more
fal that needs to be blocked, the
more side effects." Kidd said.
Though the manufacturers
intended the product for those 18
years and older, only those who
are 21 and older can purchase
Alii The 90-count starter pack
costs about $60 and includes ref-
erence guides about the product
and how to follow a healthy diet
and exercise.
"I usually don't recommend
Alii, but if people want to take
it and give it a try, then I'll help
them work with it." Hendrickson
said
Once a patient begins tak-
ing Alii, the most significant re-
sults will occur within the first
six months, according to the Web
site. After that, however, the site
recommends that the users con-
tinue with the pills indefinitely,
or the weight might return.

peace in developing a stron-
ger Chinese-US relationship,
using the word peace several
times in hb lecture Monday
in McCain Auditorium.
"We are ready to join
hands with people across the
world to promote the build-
ing of a harmonious world of
enduring peace and common
prosperity," said Ambassador
HE. Zhou Wenzhong dur-
ing the 150th lecture in the
Landon Lecture Scries.
After thanking the crowd
for its interest in learning
more about China, Zhou con-
tinuously stressed building a
harmonious relationship be-
tween the U.S. and the rapid-
ly growing China Zhou said
China has resolved to elim-
inate war and any acts that
would harm peace and pros-
perity in China
Zhou acknowledged,
though, that China still is a
developing country
"We are the most popu
lous country in the world," he
said "Our economic (ounda
lion is weak, and our devel-
opment is unbalanced"
Zhou said China will
concentrate on developing its
technology and improving the
standard of living lor the Chi-
nese people. He also said Chi-
na will concentrate on devel
oping trade and encouraging
peaceful relations throughout
the world
"China does not seek he-
gemony ... nor does it chal-
lenge the territory, integri
ty or sovereignty of other
countries," he said. "China
is a responsible country, and
it is committed to uphold-
ing peace and stability in the
world and its own region."

H.E. Zhou Wvnxhong, Chinese Ambassador, spoke to an audience In McCain Auditorium during the 150th Landon Lecture The speech
focused on the relationship between China and the U.S., and also the current Mate of China.
Zhou said the China US. re-
lationship affects the whole
world, not just the two coun
tries involved He said China
and the US need to work to-
gether on several issues that
affect the whole world like
terrorism, nuclear prolifera
tion, climate change, disease
control and disaster relief.
"China and the United
States have moral converging
interests in the broad areas of
cooperation," he said. "Our
two countries have effective
communication and coordi-
nation on the ... Iranian nu-
clear issue, Darfur, Myanmar.
Pakistan, the Middle East and
other international and re-
gional issues,"
Zhou ended his speech
by addressing what he said
was one of the most pressing
dangers to peace in China -
Taiwan's interest in forming
an independent country.
Taiwan is part of the Re-
public of China, but has made
several moves toward inde-
pendence recently Zhou said
he feared these moves could
possibly turn violent and
called the situation "delicate
and grave"
"We will never allow any
one to separate Taiwan from
the motherland in any way or
by any means," he said.
Zhou also said he hoped
the U.S. will keep its promise
to promote Taiwan's remain
ing a peaceful part of the Re-
public of China
Lekuang Wang, freshman
in finance, said Zhou's mes-
sage about Taiwan was im-
portant Landon Lecture Se-
ries Chairman Charles Rea-
gan also spoke of the impor-
tance of Taiwanese Chi vr'm-
relations.
"That's a very sun pi nut
with Chinese people," RtagM
said
Wang, a native of China,
said he attended the lecture
because it was important to

Governor's budget proposal top issue during 2008 legislative session
By Mrianne OcWmm
KANSAS STATE COLLEGIAN
K State president Jon We-
fald wiH testify before the Kan
sas House Appropriations Com-
mittee Wednesday about K-
State's financial needs and the
governor's budget recommen-
dations for fiscal year 2009
Kansas House Appro-
priations Committee mem
tiers were presented with bud-
get guidelines Thursday. House
Appropriations Committee and
tts budget subcommittee must
follow the guidelines this leg-
islative session while consid-
ering Gov Kathleen Sebelius's
fiscal year 21X19 budget propos-
al, said Sue Peterson. K-State
director of governmental rela-
tions and assistant to the presi-
dent
Peterson said House com-
mittee members want to keep
the budget at a 5 percent or less
increase from fiscal year 2008.
While legislators have implied
the guidelines in the past, the
written guidelines for the in-
crease considerations are new
to this legislative session, Peter-
son said
"From our perspective,
we're just keeping an eye on
them, but it has a long way to
go from a budget perspective,"
Peterson said. "It's by no means
the end. We'll be watching and
we'll be making our case."
In her fiscal year 2009 pro-
posal, Sebclius recommended a
S35 million opportunity grant
increase for all Kansas post-sec-
ondary education institutions,
which is a 4.4 percent increase
from fiscal year 2008 She also
recommended an additional
$15 million to address deferred
maintenance at Regents uni-
versities and a $4 5 million in-
crease in student financial aid
Peterson said the proposed
increase will help fund Regents
universities' operating fees and
faculty members" salaries If the
proposed budget passes, the (
funds will be allocated to the
Regents for their distribution to
individual universities. Peterson
said
The Kansas Board of Re-
gents submitted its fiscal year
2009 budget proposal to Sebe
lius in September Sebelius
made her budget recommen-
dations at her 2008 State of the
State Address on Ian 14.
Kansas legislators will
make their budget recommen-
dation by May 1, Peterson said
The 2008 legislative session
started Jan 14, and the session
cannot constitutionally exceed
90 days unless bom the Kan-
sas House and Senate each vote
two-thirds to extend the ses-
sion. *
Twenty two percent of
K- State's overall budget comes
from the state legislature, Peter
son said. K- State's funding pri-
marily comes from state appro-
priations and tuition, Peterson
said. To calculate the universi-
ty's budget, Peterson said uni-
versity administration incorpo-
rates the State General Fund
and potential tuition -rate in-
creases.
"A lot of factors will go in
the tuition rate, but a real key
is that initial support from the
state from the governor's bud-
get recommendation and what
the legislative supports," Peter-
son said
Other educational issues
during the 2008 Kansas legisla-
tive session will include the con-
nection between higher educa-
tion and kindergarten through
12th grade, and qualified admis-
sions. Peterson said
Peterson said she recom-
mends students make person-
al connections with their home

STUDENT LEGISLATIVE
INVOLVEMENT
Board of Regents stu
dents also have opportuni-
ties to make their voices heard
throughout the legislative ses-
sion.
K State Student Gov-
erning Association members,
along with the College of Ag
ri culture, will visit legislators
and their staff members today
at Cats in the Capitol. The an-
nual event is an opportunity
for students to visit with legis-
lators about K state and its is-
sues, said Daryn Sold an, Stu
dent Senate Governmental Re-
lations Committee chairman.
K- State student represen-
tatives also will collaborate
with other Regents universities
Wednesday at State Higher Ed-
ucation Day Soldan, master's
student in landscape archi-
tecture, said groups uf two or
three students will meet during
the day with legislators.
While deferred mainte-
nance served as a main talking
point for last year's Higher Ed-
ucation Day, Soldan said stu
dents will take a more gener
al approach with university is-
sues and stress the importance
of higher education
"From what I've seen in
the past, education does take a
very high priority, but even with
education, people are coming
from it at different points," Sol
dan said "It's important to tell
our perspective "
SGA members have
worked this year to include
more K -State students and or
ganizations in political events
and issues, Soldan said
"We really targeted this
year in getting the word out not
only to SGA but to the student
population in general," he said
"It's a goal to work through the
outlets we have. We'd like to
spread it a little bit more"
Moran visits campus, talks with students
Rep Jerry Moran
R-Kan. r stopped
Monday afternoon
at the K State
Student Union to
talk with students
in the food court
George Weston,
graduate student
in sociology
and president

said Moran
wanted a retaxed
atmosphere in
which he could

Deadline for password change today
By Staff Reports
KANSAS STATE COLLEGIAN
Wednesday is the
deadline for students to
change their elD pass-
words.
Password changes
provide the best protec-
tion for students comput-
ing identity, files and K
State resources. Students,
faculty, and staff must
change passwords for their
elDs twice a year through
their eProfile page (via the
eidkstateedu site)
This policy took effect
in summer 1999 as a result
of increasing break-ins on
K-State computers and the
need to enhance computer
security
If students dun'i
change their elD's pass-
word by the deadline, it
expires for security pur-
poses. Students will not be
able to access their central
e-mail, log on to KATS,
and more. For more infor-
mation, go to the eid Web
site.

Up in smoke
Colleges should accept money donated by Big Tobacco
JOE
VOSSEN
If you were a university pro-
fessor and a company was willing
to donate thousands or dollars to-
ward your
research,
would you
accept the
donation?
Many
would prob-
ably say yes
Few insti-
tutions can
count sole-
ly on mon-
ey generated
by students'
tuition and
state and fed
era! grants to finance studies. Re
searchers are forced to look for
funding outside the public sector to
continue their academic work
But what if the contributing
business was a tobacco company?
The McComhs School of Busi-
ness at the University of Texas was
recently faced with just such an is-
sue In a Feb 4 article in the New
York Times, dean of the business
school George Gau said the deci
sion was an easy one Gau's school
decided two months ago to refuse
all tobacco money - not just for re-
search bul student activities and
conferences.
"What it came down to for us
was the ethical dimension," he said.
"The leadership of the school felt
that in some sense it was tainted
money, that it is money gotten from
a product that is significantly harm-
ing people."
For some in higher education.
the dangerous products peddled by
tobacco companies are enough to
justify the refusal of money Others
point to the infamous history the
industry has of muddying the re-
search that proved the health risk
of their products.
Not every school has shut out
Big Tobacco's money Last Septem-
ber, the California Board of Regents
rejected a proposal that would ban
tobacco money for research. In-
stead, chancellors on each of the
regents' campuses will have the au-
tonomy to decide.
Accepting money from tobac-
co companies does not mean a uni-
versity endorses smoking The is
sue at stake is not tobacco but aca-
demic freedom For this reason, the
California plan makes sense; the
decision to accept tobacco money
should come from the bottom up,
starting with scientists, professors,
researchers, faculties and depart-
ments, not top down, like from the
regents or central administration
Medical and public-health
schools are more likely to com-
pletely ban tobacco money, remov-
ing their faculty members* power
to make an individual choice. Ac-
cording to the Times article. Emory
University medical school already
has banned tobacco money, along
with public-health schools at Ohio
State, Louisiana State, Harvard,
Johns Hopkins, and the universities
of Iowa. Arizona and North Caroli-
na
Though a gap exists between
what such schools teach and what
the tobacco companies promote,
researchers still deserve the au-
thority to reach their own verdict.
When a school makes the deci-
sion for its faculty, an important
academic right is denied.
Rob Denell, professor of bi
ology, said though a universi
ty has the power and respon-
sibility of oversight, wholesale
bans on the source of funding
for research should be rare
"A faculty member's abil-
ity to choose a research area
and to achieve funding for it
is an important aspect of ac-
ademic freedom," he said.
"Many of the awards derived
from tobacco compa-
nies support re-
search that has
nothing to do with
tobacco and its
impact on human
health"
Denell is the «
director for uie
Terry C. Johnson
Center for Basic-
Cancer Research,
an on-campus en-
tity with 60 affili
aled faculty mem-
bers The center takes a
hands-off approach in determining
what sources of funding should be
pursued by its researchers.
"In general. Hie individual fac-
ulty members apply for grants in
ways in which the center has no
role whatsoever." Denell said
This freedom is an academ-
ic right. If steps are to be taken to
refuse funding from controversial
sources, researchers should work
together, build consensus and form
policy that makes sense for their
department or institution If the
question of accepting money from
tobacco companies is an ethical
one, let researchers decide inde-
pendently, based on their own eth-
ics.
I
/
y
The purpose of higher educa-
tion is to train future citizens and
pursue knowledge in an impar-
tial environment. Accepting tobac-
co money for research does not en-
danger that mission Refusing re-
search contributions would do little
but deny schools a viable source of
funding The controversial nature
of a corporation should not pre-
clude its donations from being used
for research on campuses.

Voters should beware of candidates' persuasive speech tactics
"We love you, Barack," yelled one
of Sen. Barack Obama's supporters
during a speech he gave in Chicago as
votes continued to pour in from the
Super Tuesday primary elections.
"You know I love you back,"
Obama said, according to an article
in the New York Times, and laughter
erupted from the audience
"But there is one thing on this
February night that we do not need
the final results to know," he contin
ued "Our time has come. Our move-
ment is real And change is coming to
America."
STEVEN
KELLY
How could his supporters not love
him when he uses words like that?
There's no question about it: Obama
is a gifted orator.
He has a real knack
for leading people
to believe in him
and his ideas about
change Then again,
he's not exactly
alone in that arena.
After all, many pol-
iticians - includ-
ing some of his ri-
val candidates - are
talented speakers
With so much at
stake this election
season, we can be
sure the candidates
will employ all the verbal prowess
they've got to win their voters* hearts
For this reason, we need to be excep-
tionally wary when listening to them
speak
Generally speaking, the candi-
dates are going to tell us what we
want to hear. For example, if peo-
ple are worried about the sluggish
economy, the candidates will tell us
they have a plan to fix it. Do these
presidential hopefuls truly plan
on keeping their campaign
promises? Well, that's not
really for me to say.
The idealist in me
Nttkell | ' oiikt.tAN
wants to believe they will, but my re-
alistic instincts keep reminding me
the candidates could be making emp-
ty or half-baked promises just to grab
a few more voles.
The issues aside, there's still the
matter of the candidates' actual per
fortune* as speakers Remarkably
gifted speakers can acquire votes and
support even if their platform is weak.
Let DM make a brief illustration.
Imagine a gangly looking eco-
nomic analyst, incredibly intelligent
but hopelessly introverted, present-
ing his plan to save Social Security to
the K State student section at Bram-
lage Coliseum Now picture an expe-
rienced, charismatic Southern Baptist
preacher giving them essentially the
same plan - with a few "aniens" add-
ed in. of course. Who do you think
the crowd would really listen to?
Well, that's no contest Clearly, being
easy to listen to counts for more than
just spare change
So, do you think you're above
been duped by verbal smoke and mir
rors? Before saying yes, consider the
research of Christian Grose, a polit-
ical scientist at Vanderbilt Universi-
ty. Grose conducted a study that sug-
gests college students might not be as
invulnerable to a good speech as they
would think.
"Its reasonable to assume that
highly educated voters would be less
likely to have the wool pulled over
their eyes' by rhetoric," Grose said in
a story published by Ascribe Higher
Education News Service on fan. 25.
However, the study's results
show that voters with high levels of
education are actually more suscep-
tible to eloquent speech than voters
with less education
"Voters with lower levels of ed-
ucation will not be moved as much
to vote for candidates with complex
speaking patterns," Grose said. "They
prefer candidates who, in a sense,
speak their language"
Ultimately, choosing which can-
didate to support is a personal -judg-
ment call Speaking as an idealist
again. I'm sure all of the candidates
would make fine presidents, even if
they only got the job by outclassing
their opponents on the verbal battle-
field. Besides, after wincing through
eight years of "Bush- isms," having an
articulate president would be a nice
change of scenery. Even so, when
you're at the polls this November,
think carefully before casting your
vote. Don't let a smooth-talker make
your decision for you.

official opinion
Africa
or with
homo-
sexu-
als; it is
a glob-
al issue
that includes the U.S.
and Midwest.
Elizabeth Lule, man-
ager of the AIDS Cam-
paign Team for Afri-
ca at the World Bank,
gave a lecture on the
changing face of the
HIV/AIDS epidem-
ic in Africa on Monday
in the K-State Student
Union as a part of the
Donald ], Adamchak
Distinguished Lecture
Series in Sociology and
Social Work.
HIV/AIDS is a virus
that knows no one spe-
cific country, gender,
sexual preference, age
or race, Lule said.
HIV/AIDS is an is
sue that needs to be ad-
dressed, with concern
for our national safety.
Especially since it can
affect anyone, regard-
less if you're black or
white, male or female,
or even gay or straight.
Responsibility is the
only way we can avoid
giving this deadly virus
the upper-hand in the
battle for our health
and standard-of-)iving.
There are simple
steps to protecting
yourself against the vi-
rus. If you are sexual-
ly active, getting tested
at least once a year and
using protection like a
condom can help you
remain virus-free. And
while these precau-
tions cannot guarantee
you will never contract
HIV/AIDS, they cer-
tainly can lower your
chances.
Also, it is important
to be educated on the
causes and effects of
the virus.
Americans need to
take a stand and pre-
vent this disease from
spreading and create
awareness that this dis-
ease is a serious issue.

the youth," Ferguson said "By doing this bike
trip, we're hoping to gain media attention, By
gaining media attention, then we'll get out
there and talk about suicide and depression "
More than 32.000 people died by suicide
in the U.S. in 2005, which is the latest avail-
able date for the data, according to the Amer-
ican Foundation for Suicide Prevention. Sui-
cide is the third leading cause of death among
those 15 to 24 years old, according lo the
foundation.
While the Inlemel has provided helpful
information and resources about suicide pre-
vention and awareness, few factual check-
points exist and misinformation is likely, said
Kristin Kahler, licensed psychologist with K-
State's University Counseling Services Net
working sites like Faeebook let people know
they aren't alone and isolated with their de-
pressive symptoms, Kahler said.
"Four guys, one destination, one mission"
provides a discussion board that allows per-
sonal posts about peoples' experiences with
suicide, either personally or with friends
and loved ones. Ferguson said he and the
group's administrators each monitor the
discussion board at least twice a day for
potentially harmful messages
"I think intense discussions do more good
than harm because these people realize
they aren't alone." Ferguson said "It's
good to talk about it. but we suggest that
everyone seek professional help somehow
through a hotline, talking with a psychia
trist, family member or a trusted person."
However, peoples' expectations with Fa-
eebook message-board discussions differ
and some people might think the response
is instantaneous and from a licensed profes-
sional. Kahler said
"If someone's really on the verge of hurt-
ing themselves, twice a day [monitoring!
isn't going to cut it," she said.
Family members and friends also have
posted more than 500 pictures of loved ones
who died by suicide at "Four guys, one des-
tination, one mission" Kahler said potential
positive and negative aspects exist with the
picture postings
"It might be cathartic and grieving lo post
a picture of a loved one," she said. "At the
same time, it's out there on the Internet and
someone can take that photo and thai in-
formation and do with it whatever they
want"

i . since his 2001 al-
ed [most tilircly
1 Iriend
Blockhead, "None Shall
Pass" is a slightly more ac-
cessible version of the wordy
Row and complicated beats
tor which Aesop is known.
In addition to the amazing
beats, D) Big Wiz provides
meticulously placed turnta-
ble scratches lo help give the
entire record a more lively
fee!
"Keep off the Lawn" is
the perfect opener; with its
grand cymbal washes and
electric guitar squall, it seems
like you are at the club as the
band warms up. just wait-
ing for the emcee In take the
stage and blow you away
with his dope rhymes. At
abuut the one- minute mark,
the beat drops in, and Aesop
casually strolls in confidently
with his craggily monotone,
spilling moulhfuls of meta-
phorical narratives.
The title track is a show-
stopper With its four-on-the-
floor beat, bouncy synthesiz-
er line and gripping hook, it
is one of the most immedi-
ate songs in Aesop's catalog.
The song also contains one
of Aesop's most lithe per
formances on record as his
flow bounces along with the
beat rather lhan cramming
infinite syllables into a line
at the expense of the beal,
which was a problem that
plagued Aesop's last album,
.'00 Vs "Bazooka Tooth"
Most of Aesop's lyrics
are ralher cryptic, and this
can be alienating to many
upon the first listen Meaning
isn't discerned from individ
ual lines, but rather repealed
listens are rewarded as com-
binations of metaphors cause
meanings to emerge from the
fog of words constantly flow-
ing from Aesop's tongue
Some of the tracks have
rather benign or silly narra
lives For example, " Bring
Back Pluto" is a song about
how the eight larger planets
bullied Pluto from the solar
system, while "The Harbor
Is Yours" is a rather creative-
ly produced shanty about pi-
rates, mutiny and mermaids
Others take on a more
serious tone. " Fumes" is
a rather complex tale of
a drug-fueled couple and
their spiral into oblivion.
"39 Thieves" features excel-
lent production by Aesop,
which consists of crime noir-
like horns and an outstand-
ing guest spot by El-P It is
easy to determine the mes-
sage when El P flatly states.
"Money is cool. I'm only hu-
man/But they use it as a tool
lo make the workers feel ex
eluded/Like the shinier the
jewel the more exclusive the
troop is/Bullets don't take
bribes, stupid, they shoot
shii
But even when tracks
don'l have a recognizable
story or message, it is still ex-
citing to hear Aesop's com-
plex internal rhyme and in-
novative phrasing 1 have no
idea whal "OK. woke lo a
grocery list/Goes like this:
duty and death/Anyone ob-
ject, come stand in the way/
You can be my little Snake
River Canyon today/And
I ran with a chain of com-
mands/And a jelpack strap
where the backstab lands if
it can," means, but it sounds
cool coming out of Aesop's
mouth
Though it might take a
couple of listens to gel used
to Aesop's distinct writing
and rhyming. "None Shall
Pass" is a very satisfying lis-
ten. At 15 tracks and just
over an hour of music, Aes-
op's verbose manifestos and
dense productions can be-
come tiring by album's end,
but ultimately, each track is
an important piece in the al-
bum's overall flow and ef-
fect "None Shall Pass" is an
excellent look into under
ground hip-hop and the per-
fect alternative to the mind
less fluff blaring from the ra-
dio parading itself as hip-
hop

KANSAS STATE COUIGIAN
The coveted K- St ate intra-
mural champion T-shirts are
once again on the line this se-
mester, as the spring sessions of
intramural sports have begun
Traditionally, basketball is
one of the must popular sports
offered by intramural servic-
es In the five divisions offered
- fraternity, independent, res-
idence hall, women's and eo-
rccreational - there are more
than 250 teams signed up for
competition.
To add even more spirit to
the competition, talks are un-
derway to televise the intramu-
ral basketball championships
on Cox Cable Channel 8 Noth-
ing has been confirmed yet, but
with the volleyball champion-
ships being well-received dur-
ing the fall semester on the
same channel, Marian Bran-
denberg, an administrative spe
cialist for the Peters Recreation
Complex, said they hope to
make this happen again
Paul Titlcrington, senior
in management and non-profit
leadership and member of the
independent basketball league
team Slump the Yard, said he's
excited about the possibility of
being able to play on TV.
"ft would be awesome to
get the opportunity lo do some-
thing like that my senior year,
even if it was just on local ca-
ble." Titlerington said "I think
it would be cool if [intramural
services] could hook something
up to have the K- State champs
play against the KU champs.
I know other schools do that
kind of thing with their rivals.
That would really add lo the
competition
Basketball might be the
most popular activity sponsored
by the K-Stale Recreational Ser-
vices, bul some of the other in
dividual sports like doubles ta-
ble tennis, doubles racquetball
and even wallyball have full
brackets. Max Thomas, junior
in economics, was one of about
80 K- State teams in the doubles
table tennis bracket
"It's a great chance to go
out and play a sport that is usu-
ally hard to find other compet-
itors," Thomas said. "Table ten-
nis is one of those sports more
about the sanctity of the game
as opposed lo the direct com-
petition you find in sports like
basketball"
New to the inlramural
slate this year are indoor soc-
cer and a disc golf loumament.
These two events were created
to fill the void after recreational
services decided to end the in
Iramural track meet. Disc golf-
ers and ultimate frisbee athletes
pushed to add the disc -golf
tournament lo the intramural
activities list,
"Many of the same stu-
dents that played ultimate fris-
bee in the fall asked for us to set
something up at Tuttle Creek
State Park, as they have a very
nice course design there," Bran-
denbergsaid
The indoor soccer tour-
nament was also created from
high K Slate student participa-
tion The one-day tournament
will take place on April 5. and
entries will be accepted from
March 31 to April 3 The disc-
golf tournament will take place
April 26 with entries accepted
from April 21-24,
Another semester of intra

No. 33 Wichita State to visit for re-match against Wildcats
By Tyler Sharp
KASvwMUl COLLEGIAN
After a 7-0 victory over the Saini
Louis Bilhkens Saturday, the K-Stale
women's tennis learn must prepare
for a big rematch against in-slate rival
No, 32 Wichita Stole
Memories of a 16 loss to the
Shockers last season still linger for
the Wildcats and serve as extra inn
tivation to cume uut victorious this
lime
"Thai was a stunner for our team
last year," cuach Steve Hietau said "I
think it was mure for our players than
uur coaches, because we knew ahead
of time more than our players how-
good Wichila Slate was last year. They
proved through the rest of the season
that they were definitely a good team
So, for a long time it had always been
us coming out on lop againsl them,
and now it's us wilh a little something
tu prove"
Last season, the Wildcats had just
come off of a big victory over Drake
before they challenged the Shockers
The 16 loss snapped a 10 game win-
ning streak over the Shockers, and the
Wildcats were thoroughly dominated
Tlie then-No. 54 Wildcats were <mk
able to muster ■ singles win on their
way to the loss Senior Olga Klimova
and junior Katerina Kudlackova, K-
State's most successful doubles learn
last season, were silenced 8-0. In the
No. 2 doubles spot, seniors Fernanda
Da Valle and Viviana Yrureta, were
shutdown, losing 8- 5
The outlook of the matches car-
ried through to singles play, where the
Wildcats did not muster much of a

Players provide
laughs, humor
off the court
In case you haven't noticed, the
K-Stale men's basketball learn has
some comedians.
It all start-
ed when fresh
man forward Mi-
chael Beasley made
his famous stale
ment about the KU
match-ups, person
ally scheduling a
third game in the
series in Africa,
Then, K-State
coach Frank Mar
tin started letting
Beasley and fresh-
man guard Jacob Pullcn speak to the
media Throw in the antics of junior
forward Andre Gilbert and hilarity
ensues
Recently, Beasley and Pullen
took a page from Will Ferrell's mov-
ie "Talladega Nights" and did the
shake-and-bake gesture to the re-
porters
For nearly every question they
are asked, there seems to be a way
the players can garner some laughs
out of anyone nearby What the fans
do see during the games from videi is
on the Bramlage Coliseum score-
board only tells half the story It's
the behind-the-scenes material that
is the most entertaining.
Take for example the shut se-
nior guard Clent Stewart near
ly made againsl Texus A&M, when
he simply threw the ball behind his
back while going out-of-bounds.
After the game, Stewart said lie
had practiced the shot and made
it during practice, so he was disap-
pointed when he missed it And thai
might be the lighter side nf the jok-
ing that goes on during interviews.
However, the players seem to
know when to joke and when to
get to business. The Wildcats have
grown into a mature team this sea-
son, playing with the teamwork of a
group that has been together for sev-
eral years
The most recent string of come-
dy from the players has been a series
of videos posted by the Royal Purple
Yearbook on wwwYou7kbe.com,
The videos - one of which is labeled
"Mike and the iPod" - feature Bea-
sley messing with an iPod hat is be-
ing used as a press recorder
Beasley and Pullen can be seen
messing with the recorder and whis-
pering messages that can only be
picked up by the recorders on the
table This means even after the
press conference there are HUM
messages left by the players
Though the "Funny or Die"
comedy lour already has come and
gone from Manhattan, Beasley and
Pullen could have been great addi
tions to the section in which Ron
Burgundy interviewed football
coach Ron Prince. I can only imag-
ine the laughs which would have re
suited
From what I have seen this year,
I think Beasley's love of SpongeBob
SquarePanls might land him a guest
spot on the show After all, if Da-
vid Hasselhoff can appear, Beasley
would almost surely be just as funnv
Which player is the most en-
tertaining'' I can't say just yet - be
cause there are still a few games
left for the Wildcats to create some
laughs.

Bush to increase funding for biosecurity facility
By Annette Lawless
KAlKASSDlTBCOtttGUM
The While House wants
to pump up national security
- and K-Slate might reap the
k'liefits.
President Bush made a
commitmenl to increase fund-
ing for the $450 million Na-
tional Bio and Agro-Defense
Facility, for which K-State is
in contention Rush said he
plans to increase facility fund
ing bv $35.6 million for the fis-
cal year 2009
K State is one of six sites
being considered for the de-
le rise facility University offi-
cials remain hopeful that Man-
hattan \0tll make the final cut
because of its rich history in
protecting the nation's food
supply, said President |on We-
fald
"In March 1999 - years
before the terrorist attacks
rjj Sept. 11, 2001, - K-Stale
launched the Homeland De
fmse Food Safety, Security
and Emergency Preparedness
Program, which was aimed
at solving pressing food an
imal and food safety prob-
lems, while preparing to meet
emerging threats." We f aid said
in a release "In October 1999,
1 testified before the U.S. Sen
ale's Emerging Threats Sub-
committee on the agricultural
biological weapons threat."
Since 1999, Wefald, along
with other legislators, has con-
tended to run the facility that
will protect America, right
here in the heartland.
'At K-State, we have ded
icated significant resources to
agrosecurity, including estab-
lishing the National Agricul-
tural Biosecurity Center and
the Biosecurity Research Insti-
tute, representing the latest in
collaborative research capabil-
ities," Wefald said
"This strategy of pre-
paredness - with NBAP as a
vital piece - is our nation's
best chance at preventing and
fending off a potential attack
on our food supply. K-State
stands behind this commit-
ment and we are hopeful thai
Congress will also support this
critical cornerstone of our na-
tional security"
Last month, Ihc Kan-
sas Bioscience Authority an-
nounced a campaign to start
a $2 5 million research initia-
tive at K-State's Biosecurity
Research Institute According
to the KBA, the plan would
strengthen the university's re-
search capabilities in address-
ing animal health and threats
to the nation's food supply
The $25 million plan -
known as the Collaborative
Bioscience Research Initiative
- will allow researchers from
the government, non-profit or-
gan iiations and other univer
Miies to conduct research and
collaborate with K-Slate, ac-
cording to the KBA
"We're issuing a call today
for the nation's brightest re-
searchers to partner with us to
protect public health and safe-
guard Ihe agriculture econo-
my," said KBA President Torn
Thornton at last month's Kan-
sas Bioscience Day at the Cap
itol "Our facilities are highly
specialized and world-class,
and our scientists arc doing
world -class research Now is
the time fur collaboration to
lake on this important nation
al challenge"
Though Kansas has made
significant steps to solidify K-
Stale's Biosecurity Research
Institute. Sen Pat Roberts, R-
Kan ., released a statement that
said Bush's $35.6 million in-
crease is a serious step toward
founding the N BAF facility
"This marks another ma
jor step forward for the NBAF
facility and shows the impor-
tance given to this lab to pro
tect our country's national se-
curity," Roberts said. "I'm go-
ing to work with my colleagues
to make sure this investment
remains intact so that vital
animal health research is en-
hanced for the continued safe-
ty of the American people."
K-State is among six final-
ists for the $430 million feder-
al biosecurity facility. The fi-
nalists include sites in Geor
gia, Mississippi, New York,
North Carolina and Texas. The
Department of Homeland Se-
curity will make its final deci-
sion in October, and construe
tion would be completed in
2013

CITY COMMISSION
Redevelopment project tops Commission's agenda
By Corene Brisendine
KANSAS SIAltLOLLbt.lAN
City Commission will
vote tonight on allowing
\l.i\di l<im Phillips and City
Clerk Gary Fees to enter
into a purchase agreement
with Dial Reality and a lease
agreement with O'Reilly's
Auto Parts
Now, O'Reilly's Automo-
tive resides within the south
redevelopment project site.
"The lease agreement al-
lows [O'Reilly's] to stay |at
324 Fort Riley Blvdl as long
as feasible." Commissioner
Bruce Snead said
Within the south end re-
development plan, the city
obtained four pieces of the
property by the use of emi-
nent domain.
"Eminent domain is the
concept or principal that (he
government or city can ac
quire properly from private
owners for public use," Snead
said.
Snead said the acquisi-
tion of property by the use
of eminent domain for eco-
nomic development by cit-
ies within the state of Kansas
could no longer be utilized as
of |uly 1.2007
The state legislature
passed the law two years
ago, causing the city to move
quickly in purchasing or ac-
quiring all the property nec-
essary for the north and south
end redevelopment projects
The commission will be
receiving updates on the sta-
tus on the south end project
tonight
During the work session,
commissioners also will hear
project updates on the inter-
section proposition of Fort
Kiley Boulevard and Davis
Drive, Snead said.
The Social Services Advi
sory Board will give its annu
al report and update on So-
cial Services activities within
the city,
Snead said Social Servic
es receive about $300,000 a
year in funds from the city lor
services like child care and

Foreclosures affect entire market
ByCoreneBristndine
KANSAS STATE 1 1 H I hi JAN
Housing foreclosures affect
the entire market, not just one
particular income bracket
Charles Rich, owner of
Little Apple Real Estate, said
loreclosiires have occurred on
houses ranging from SI 5,000 to
$400,000
"It's been slow since June,"
Kich said. "There's not many
buyers out there. Some [houses]
have sold for significantly less.
It is definitely a buyer's market
There is an over-stock of hous-
es, low interest rates and a low
number of buyers. If you are in
the right position, it's great"
The problem is most con-
sumers are not able to afford a
mortgage right now Rich said
the stimulus package support
ed by President Bush and mem-
bers of Congress will not stim-
ulate the housing market be-
cause the kickback isn't going
to be big enough to allow peo-
ple to buy homes
To alleviate the pinch in
his pocketbook from the mar-
ket slow-down. Rich has be-
gun trading in the Real Estate
Owned housing market
REO properties arc hous-
es that have been repossessed
by the bank because of own-
ers foreclosing on their mort
gages. Rich said the houses he
has managed in Manhattan
had mortgages acquired out-
side the community Working
in the REO market has helped
increase his listings, but he also
h,i.\ helped others save their
homes from foreclosure.
"It doesn't pay much, but
it makes you feel good help
ing [home owners] save their
homes,'* Rich said
He maintains the hous-
es he cannot save by checking
the property, mowing the lawn
and performing general maitite
nance until the redemption pe
riod has expired. Then, the hod
ing institutions put the houses
on the market for resale
"The rental market is pretty
minimal, too," Rich said.
Rich said two years ago,
there was an average of 250 to
300 houses available for rent in
Manhattan. Last year, at one
point there were 580 houses
available for rent, and as of now
there are 430 houses vacant.
Scott Munsen, branch man-
ager of The Mortgage Company
in Manhattan, said the market
has been negatively affected by
the media coverage of the hous-
ing foreclosures in other areas
of the country.
"I've been originating
mortgages for 11 years." Mun-
sen said "I've never seen it
quite like this. Every time peo
pie would turn on the TV there
was something mipllm aboul
the housing on it"
Even with the negativity
broadcast by the media. Mun-
sen said the market is still strong
in Manhattan
"I think [the slow down in
Manhattan's housing market] is
short term," he said. "Manhat-
tan is its own little entity"
Randy Stitt. Vice President
of Community First National
Bank said he agreed with Mun-
sen.
"Manhattan is buffered
more so than other towns be-
cause we have a state- funded
college," Stitt said "We are just
so lucky for living in this com-
munity because we just don't
feel the effects of the national
economy like other communi-
ties"
Stitt said the main reason
many people are losing their
homes is because of k.idm giv-
ing money to people who can-
not afford the payments
Manhattan has many
knowledgeable and reputable
lenders in the area who want
their customers to succeed in
purchasing a house and not
lose it because of over-budget-
ing, Munsen said,
"We are held to a higher
regard," Munsen said "We do
things more ethically than the
lenders on the coasts I'm part
of this community and reputa-
tion spreads faster in Manhat-
tan than in California and Flor-
ida"
According to the Mortgage
Bankers Association. 5 59 per-
cent of mortgages were delin-
quent as of Dec 6. 2007 Out of
the 5.59 percent. 4 72 percent
originated as sub-prime loans
and only 1.02 percent prime
rate loans nationwide.
Munsen said the govern-
ment is trying to create consum-
er confidence with lower rates
and sees this as a correction in
the housing market He said
stricter requirements on lending
are good for business.

LECTURE | Chinese students excited
to hear ambassador speak Monday
Continued from Page 1
him whol the ambassador of
his country had to say.
"I am proud uf my coun-
try and proud of my culture,
so that's why I came here,"
Wang said.
Reagan said many Chi-
nese students reflected the
same sentiments
"They were thrilled to
have their ambassador in
Kansas," Reagan said "It's a
long way from Washington
and an even longer way from
China ... His presence was
encouraging to them."
Though Zhou empha-
sized peace because of the Tai-
wan issue, Max Lu. associate
professor of geography and
student faculty adviser of the
Chinese Student and Scholar
Association, said Zhou also
emphasized peace because
of Western powers, including
the U.S., questioning the mo
lives of China's economic and
military growth.
"One reason I can think
of is over the past few years
several western countries, in-
cluding the United Stales,
have been saying that China
poses a threat to other coun-
tries and China is building up
it's military and flexing it's
muscles," Lu said
In an interview after
the lecture, Zhou said Chi
na could not develop without
peaceful and n on combative
relations with the US. or oth-
er countries
"The problem is when
[countries) come and try
to grow and compete with
the already well-established
countries by force - that will
not be the case with us," Zhou
said.
Reagan estimated that
about 1,100 people attended
the lecture At the end of the
lecture, K State President Jon
Wefald, asked the all the Chi
nese students in the crowd to
stand up. and about one fifth
of the crowd stood up
Many of these students
will get the opportunity to
meet the ambassador at a
breakfast this morning. The
ambassador will visit differ-
ent places in Kansas during
the next few days, including
a meeting with Gov Kathleen
Sebelius. Reagan said.
TENNIS | Women face busy week,
matches against 0-1 Shockers
Continued from Page «
Wildcats came from then-
sophomore Maria Perevosh
chikova. Kudlackova lost
6-4, 3-6, 7-6(4) to the Shock-
ers' Stephanie Dalmacio. Kli-
mova and Yrureta also were
defeated in the No 1 and No.
6 spots, respectively.
The Wildcats will begin
their battle for redemption
against the Shockers at 5 p.m.
today at Ahearn Field House.
The Shockers are 0-1 this
season, their loss against No.
5 Georgia on Feb 1. In that
match, the Shockers had dif-
ficulty achieving success; the
only victory was the doubles
team of Dalmacio and Larys-
sa Ferreira. The duo topped
Cameron Ellis and Adrienne
Ellsberry. 8-4. in the No. 3
spot Ellis and Ellsberry were
able to defeat K- Stale's fresh-
men Vanessa Cottin and Pau-
line Guemas during the Geor
gia Invitational, 8-3
K-State. fresh off a sweep
of Saint Louis, faces a diffi-
cult week, with three match-
es in five days
Bietau said the approach
in practice would be altered
because of this
"We may get some rest
during the middle of the week
after Wichita Stale," he said
"J know how they look to me,
but sometimes when we talk
to them about it, it's not the
same. We have some experi-
enced players like Vivi [Yru-
reta| and Olga who have a
real good sense of what their
bodies can lake. When you
have experienced players like
that, it's good because you
can get feedback from them
thai will help you make bet-
ter decisions more than you
would from freshmen"
Bietau also said the time
to make changes is limited.
"We don't gel a lot of
practice in this week because
we have three matches and a
travel day," he said. "So we'll
have some light practices and
focus on adjustments we can
make to get ready for those
next matches."

AIDS | Lecture educated listeners
on dangers, spread of fatal virus
lonjthjn Knight | COLLEGIAN
Elizabeth tuft, manager of the AIDS Campaign Team For Africa at the World Bank, speaks to a group of
students from the Black Student Union Monday afternoon in the K-State Student Union. Lule also gave
a speech in the Union Ballroom later that night.
Continued from Pag* l
estimates that about 40,000
people in the United States be-
come infected with HIV annu
ally For example, in Washing-
ton DC, one in every 50 peo-
ple suffers from AIDS, and the
number of people with HIV is
even higher
Income and gender in-
equalities, neglected condom
use, having several sexual
partners at one time, wars and
violence and human traffick-
ing were named among major
factors that contribute to the
spreading of the disease, she
said.
Dealing with the epidem-
ic requires global response,
Lule said.
"Africa's tomorrow de-
pends on what we do about
HIV/AIDS today," she said
The lecture was also in-
teractive, allowing audience
members to ask questions and
share their opinions
|osh Keed. former K-State
student who has been an ado
vacte for HIV/AIDS for a long
time, said "It is very difficult
to be empowered to make
a change Especially here in
Kansas - there is a tremendous
amount of resistance when
you try to du so."
The HIV virus doesn't
know any borders, and to bet-
ter the situation, Lule advised
the K-State community to con-
duct research and raise aware-
ness, promote behavior chang
es and protect themselves and
their loved ones
The lecture served as a
learning loot for students from
different areas
"I got information about
il from an e-mail and decid-
ed to come because it seems
like a very interesting subject
matter and an opportunity to
leam something new" said
Gloria Funcheon, freshman in

Nitrogen
fertilizer
prices soar
By EliM Podhijitty
KANSAS STATL COLLEGIAN
The price of nitrogen fer-
tilizer has reached an all-time
high this year because of an
increase in foreign trade, tint
ural gas and energy prices,
and a decrease of fertilizer
plants in the U.S.
Dave Mengel, professor
of agronomy, said the cost
of nitrogen fertilizer is "out
the roor and will most like-
ly continue to rise in coming
years
Mengel said the main in-
gredient in nitrogen fertiliz-
er is natural gas, which has
more then doubled in price
over the past five years He
also said the cost increase
stems from the number of fer-
tilizer plants that have been
shut down within the last de-
cade.
"For example," he said,
"there used to be [a plant]
in Lawrence, but that's been
l I used now for the last sev
en or eight years So we don't
have the capacity lo produce
nitrogen fertilizer, and this
past year, we grew more corn
than we have ever grown So
there was low capacity and
great demand, which puts up-
ward pressure on prices, loo "
This, Mengel said, leaves
the country more dependent
on fertilizer imports from
larger and newer production
facilities in Jamaica and other
Caribbean countries, the Mid-
dle East and Russia Because
nitrogen fertilizer production
has turned into a competitive
world market, Mengel said
the world price has increased
in addition to local costs,
Bui no matter how high
the prices reach, Mengel said
there will always be a demand
for nitrogen fertilizer because
it is essential to a healthy crop
yield
"In your own diet," Men-
gel said, "proteins are an im-
portant part. [In crops], ni-
trogens are a component of
that protein Nitrogen is not
stored in soils, so either you
use it or you Iom* it "
Another important ele-
ment for a healthy crop diet
is phosphorus. This can be
stored in soils, so not all farm-
ers have to fertilize every year.
However, Mengel said, the
phosphorus levels in Kansas

Students struggle to find balance in campus activities
By David Griffin, Jr.
KANSAS STATU JOUM AN
With a planner jammed full of
appointments, reminders, assign-
ments and organization meetings,
some students have become over
whelmed trying to find a balance
With more than 400 student
organizations at K-Stale and lead-
ership opportunities in each, it is
crucial for students to maintain a
healthy balance, said Candice Hi
ronaka, associate director of Lead-
ership Studies and Programs
"Finding that balance be-
tween academics, which is the pri-
mary reason they're here, versus
all of their activities, sometimes
can become an unbalance for stu-
dents." Hironaka said.
She suggested students be-
come involved in extracurricular
activities that involve iheir ma-
jors.
"It's always good to get in
volved in something within your
major or within your college," Hi-
ronaka said.
Being overwhelmed with too
many commitments is not always
the only concern for students.
Sometimes uther obligations like
family or health can cause stress
"You have to make choices
at times, so if you have more than
what can fit in a day. it's going to
be stressful." said Fred Newton,
director of counseling services.
Newton said the hardest
choice for students can be decid-
ing what they want to get involved
in and when to let go.
"Sometimes what students
don't like about that is they don't
want to limit what they're doing,
but at the same time, they want
to do very well; sometimes you
can't hardly balance that," New-
ton said
Ann Virgo, junior in market-
ing, is a prime example of a stu-
dent with a seemingly overloaded
day-planner Virgo plans her day
to a tee. With involve menl in or-
ganizations like St Isidore's Cath-
olic Student Center, Gamma Phi
Beta sorority, Silver Key sopho-
more honorary and New Student
Services, she depends on a plan-
ner.
"I usually have at least one
meeting per day. I'm pretty active
in my church on the weekends,'
Virgo said. "Homework usual-
ly comes pretty late at night; I'm
usually up pretty early so sleeping
is usually not a very long activi-
ty-
Virgo said stress is something
students cannot escape
"Stress is going to be there
whether you're a busy student or
not, and for me, I have to keep
things in perspective for what 1
want to do and get done in my
day," she said.
For Virgo, balancing a busy
schedule gives her a sense of ac-
complishment, and though she
has made it work for her, other
students might feel stressed han-
dling the same load.
"What works for one student
isn't going lo work for the next
student," Hironaka said
Robert Gomez, junior in el-
ementary education, is involved
in several different organizations,
ranging from Sigma Lambda Beta
International Fraternity to the
Developing Scholars Program
He said he had to evaluate his ac-
tivities and choose which ones
to commit to and which ones to
drop.
"My first two years, I always
Tell like I had to do everything for
everybody else, and I ended up
getting sick a lot," said Gomez.
After a while, Gomez noticed
his schedule was overwhelming
and decided lo make some chang-
es.
Gomez said students must
take into consideration that they
are only human, and though they
might think they can be involved
in everything, "sometimes that's
not the case ."
"Learning lo say no, the big-
gest change was 1 realized 1 can't
do everything, so I'd rather focus
on the things 1 really enjoy and
the things I'm passionate about,"
Gomez said
K-state offers free animal poison control help line
BytliSfPodhajsky
KANSAS MAttdlLLKLUAN
It is a pet owner's worst
nightmare They come home
to find trash strewn across the
living room and their dog ly-
ing helplessly beside it Some-
thing is definitely wrong, but,
in a panic, the owner is at a
loss for action What should
they do?
Thanks to assistant pro-
fessor of toxicology Dr Deon
van der Merwe. and the K-
State toxicology department,
owners of animals large and
small have somewhere to
turn in these emergencies.
The K-State animal poi
son information service line
is available 8 a.m. to 5 pm.
Monday through Friday, and
is free of charge, van der Mer
we said. The line receives
about five to 10 calls each
day and is able to give infor-
mation and advice for domes
tic pets and also farm animals
thai might have been poi-
soned, he said.
Van der Merwe said if an
animal is showing any pecu-
liar behavior, service line op-
erators are always willing to
help.
"| Symptoms of poison-
ing] can vary tremendously,"
he said, "but in general, it's
something that causes the an-
imal to vomit or have diar-
rhea or behave abnormally. It
might show abnormal muscle
movements or become very
lethargic - very sleepy Signs
of redness or pain or swelling
on the skin in and around the
mouth, or if it is producing a
lot of saliva is also a common
indicator."
Van der Merwe said it

CITY COMMISSION
City Council discusses contracts,
transportation, child care issues
By Corcne Bhj«ndin*
KANSAS STATE COLLEGIAN
City commissioners ap-
proved the purchase of prop-
erty owned by O'Reilly's Auto
Parts for approximately $19
million Tuesday night
Jason Hilgers. assistant
city manager, presented the
purchase and lease agreements
to the council during a special
session The purchase agree-
ment included the purchase of
O'Reilly's property and its new
location, closing costs, and re-
SltOr fees incurred through
EHel Reality and the building
O'Kt'illy's must build in re-
fStce its current location.
ZZ, A separate lease agree
BJrnt allowed O'Reilly's to re-
main in its current location un-
til the new building has been
bulli Hilgers said the new
holding should be completed
within four to six months after
finalizing the agreements
Hilgers told city coun-
ts members the new proper-
ty will be located on the cor-
ner ill |uliette Avenue and
Fort Riley Boulevard. He also
said the lease agreement with
O'Reilly's would not interfere
with the projected demolition
of the area for the south-end
redevelopment project, slated
to begin late summer or early
fall. Four other property own-
ers have signed lease agree-
ments that will end in July
The commission contin-
ued to debate whether or not
to enter into this agreement
with O'Reilly's because of the
price of the purchase. Com-
missioner Bob Strawn asked
Hilgers how far over budget
the city was in the south end
redevelopment project before
voting Hilgers said thus far,
the city was $2.7 million over
the $12 million budget, and
Strawn begrudgingly voted
with the commission in a 5-0
decision to proceed with the
purchase and lease agreements
with O'Reilly's.
WORK SESSION
The first agenda item dur-
ing the City Commission work
session discussed the improve-
ments to the Fort Riley Boole
vard- Davis Drive intersection.
Zack Stone, project manag-
er for Schwab Eaton, PA., pre-
sented three different options
of design for the intersection
Stone said the city could leave
the intersection as is, but add
signal lights or a roundabout
Stone said Kansas Depart-
ment of Transportation per
formed traffic studies upon their
request in 2006 Fort Riley Bou-
levard scored an A in providing
movement of traffic through (he
intersection, but scored an F for
providing movement of vehicles
on Davis Drive in the study.
Stone opposed adding
lights and paths for pedestrians
and bicyclists at the intersec-
tion because of the high speeds
maintained on Fort Riley Bou-
levard
Right now, the speed lim-
it through the intersection is 55
mph KDOT reported 85 per-
cent of the vehicles travel at a
rale of 594 mph through the
intersection and recommend
ed the speed limit remain the
same, Stone said.
"People may be comfort
able at driving above the posted
speed limit, [but that) doesn't
mean it's safe to drive through
that intersection," Commission-
er James Sherow said
Stone said the cost of build
ing the traffic signals should be
minimal with a cost of about
$500,000, excluding utili-
ty costs He proposed a signal
light, advanced signs and bea-
cons, an extended westbound
turn lane and a traffic island be
installed on Davis Drive block-
ing left turning into the West-
view Community Church
The second presentation
came from the Social Services
Advisory Board The board pro-
posed providing public trans-
portation to residents in the
form of a scheduled bus system,
and asked for increased fund-
ing for child care services pro-
vided to residents
"We're talking about job
growth." said Jeff Chapman,
vice chair of SSAB "Not ev-
erybody can afford transporta-
tion."
Chapman said there are 22
transportation services in Man-
hattan, but all of them are de-
signed as on-demand only. This
means a person needing trans-
portation must contact one of
the service providers on de-
mand.
"No one has taken a re-
sponsible role .on providing
public transportation" Chap-
man said "| SSAB doesn't]
want to go to these 22 agencies
and make it their responsibility
leither)"
Commissioner Bruce
Snead said the city commission
had developed a public trans-
portation two way bus route in
Linlicipation to receiving fund-
ing from the federal govern-
ment in 2010 when the US
census would count Manhat-
tan's population around 50,000
residents The new popula-
tion status allows Manhattan
to qualify for new funding for
projects such as a public trans-
portation system.
"We developed a compre-
hensive two-way fixed route
that was going to be funded by
federal, stale, city and the uni-
versity," Snead said. "A public
transportation service needs to
serve the university"
SSAB member, Christo-
pher Renner, presented the
proposal For increased fund-
ing of child care to the commis-
sion
Snead said the military
families moving into the area
expected high standards for
child care due to the high stan-
dards the military provides for
its service families on base

Warren Theatres propose Manhattan
location in downtown redevelopment
By Brandon Stelnirt
KANSAS STAtt U1LUUIAN
Manhattan could ac-
quire a second large mov-
ie theater in less than three
years.
City commissioners lis
tened to demonstrations
from Warren Theatres about
the proposed theater and
complaints and advice from
Manhattan residents about
downtown redevelopment
plans last night at a special
City Commission work ses-
sion.
The purpose of the
meeting was to discuss the
overall south project rede-
velopment plan, which in
eludes the 12 plex Warren
Theater, a hotel, a restau-
rant and u discovery center.
Ken Crockett, vice pres-
ident of Warren Theatres,
said the proposed theater
would have a large, well-lit
parking lot, spacious bath-
rooms, a diner, a balcony
with alcoholic beverages
available and several oth-
er features found in other
Warren Theatres, which are
located in Wichita
"We have decided to
make the movie-going ex
perience not just for the
movies, but (or the theaters
as well." Crockett said
After a short video of a
theater similar to the one he
said he would like to build
in Manhattan. Crockett ex-
plained the problems with
(he current building site
proposal.
"We think the propos-
al of the theater 1 30,000
square feet) is too small," he
said.
Crockett said (he build
ing should be 50,000 square
feet
Commissioner Bruce
Snead said he was pleased
with the proposed Warren
theater. "1 think anything
that brings more people
to that district and expos-
es them to what's there will
be an asset. [The area being
developed | is designed to be
a district of attractions."
The theater is project-
ed to attract more than
350,000 to 400,000 people
each year if Warren's pro-
posal is approved
The issue of ticket prices
was brought up and quick-
ly addressed by Crockett.
He said Warren ticket pric-
es are similar to other local
theaters' prices.
After Mayor Tom Phil
lips opened the meeting for
public comment after the
presentation, the proposed
discovery center/museum
became the center of inter-
est for a majority of the ses-
sion speakers
Lauren Ritterbush,
Manhattan resident and
K Skilt' associate prok-s
Mir of archaeology, ad-
dressed the board about the
proposed discovery cen-
ter's sustenance during the
open period. She said muse
urns typically do not make
enough revenue to cover
l lists
She explained the need
for a "friends of the muse-
um" program and fundrais
ing to sustain the museum
Kitterbush explained
many problems with the
museum's plan, including
the organization of museum
staff
"The market analysis
says the museum director is
also the curator. These are
two separate entities," Kit
terbush said "The muse-
um director is the person
who works on the founda-
tion and helps lo get mon-
ey They are not the person
who knows the ins and outs
of the exhibits at the muse-
um, which is what the cura-
tor does"
When Ritterbush fin-
ished, Phillips asked her to
stay at the podium.
"I'm going to recruit
you," Phillips said, saying
she should be one of the
people thoroughly involved
in projects like the discov-
ery center
Karen Mayes, presi-
dent of the League of Wom-
en Voters, told commis-
sioners she was dissatisfied
with the parking plan in the
south project redevelop-
ment plan.
After the commission-
ers concluded her copy
of the plan was outdated,
they addressed her concern
about large-truck maneu-
verability on Fourth Street
after the project is com-
plete
Commissioner Bob
Strawn said truck drivers
could leave Hy-Vee in the
north project area and trav-
el sou Ih on Fourth Street to
get back on Fort Riley Bou-
levard. Strawn said the reg-
ulation of commercial traf-
fic would be discussed in
further work sessions.
Commissioner James
Sherow said the board
would have nearly three
yean to work out the prob-
lems with the south project
redevelopment plan.

TO THE POINT
Overworked
students need
to take break
The stresses of college
life can be overwhelming
at times. Commitment to
academ-
ics, part-
time and
full-time
employ-
ment
and
mem-
bership
in campus organizations
are how many students
define their time in col-
lege. But it is easy to be-
come over-involved, and
students can be stretched
too thin before they have
a chance to enjoy their
involvement.
Student participation
and involvement is what
makes K-State such an
outstanding institution,
and opportunities like
Student Government As-
sociation and all-cam-
pus organizations could
not happen without the
commitment of students.
But we as students must
pace ourselves and allow
some time to relax and
enjoy relationships and
free time If students do
not take time every now
and then to breathe, they
risk burning themselves
out, and this can ruin the
activities that the stu-
dents care about.
At no other time will
students have to op-
portunity to be around
so many different peo-
ple who are in their age
group and have the same
goal of graduating We
should not fear having
fun from time to time,
nor should we fear hav-
ing a lot on our respec-
tive plates.
Most of us are busy,
and need some time to
relax after a long day,
week or semester We
must take time to enjoy
the activities of which we
are a part, rather than
just hoping they will look
appealing on a resume'.
We should all partic-
ipate in some way on
campus, whether it's sim-
ply going to class or run-
ning for a student gov-
ernmental position. But
we must remember that
college only happens
once, and it's OK to en-
joy oneself every now
and then.

OPINION
KANSAS STATE COLLEGIAN
TUESDAY FEBRUARY 13, 200g
Start saying 'thank you'
Tax rebate stimulus plan awards those who don't pay
In May. the United States federal govern-
ment will begin giving some lax dollars back to
many US citizens, so they can all go out and
spur the economy
President Bush first
issued his proposal for
a stimulus package dur-
ing this year's State of the
Union Address President
Bush's original propos
al would issue checks to
all tax paying individuals
- the people who actually
pay for the government.
During a |an. 24 press
conference, reported by
MSNBC. Bush said the
tax rebates would be an
"effective, robust temporary set of incentives" to
help curb the threat of recession
This tax rebate package is nice to have,
however, the president used the word "tempo-
rary" to describe the rebates Typically every
eight years the United States will go through a
recessional period
Many forget Bush inherited a slight reces-
sion in the first few years of his presidency from
the tech-stock crash al the end of former Presi-
dent Clinton's term This recession
comes on the back of the recent
fall of the housing market.
Fueled by the same get -rich
quick feelings tech stocks pro-
vided, the housing market is go-
ing through a shakeoff of its own.
where most foreclosures are hap-
pening to debtors who believed
Ihcy could flip multiple homes but
couldn't make payments on the
homes.
The United States was able to
fight off the recession eight years ago
with a series of tax rebates and cuts
Bush pushed through after becoming
president. He believes the United Slates
can do it again it they follow the same
plan as before
In the spirit of bipartisan support, Demo-
crats in Congress championed "checks for ev-
eryone," because we can't exclude those who
don 'l pay for the system lo operate
A typical definition of everyone is ail peo
pie in a given area, but a congressional Demo-
crats' definition is. according lo ihe Associated
Press on |an 24, anyone making at least $3,000.
but no more than $75,000
According to Fox Business, the $150 billion
tax rebate stimulus package would give $300 to
individuals who made at least $3,000 last year
until they are qualified for income tax.
Most people forced lo pay taxes would re-
ceive $600, as long as the individual doesn't
make more lhan $75,000
If over that number, $30 is decreased for
every additional $1,000 made. Couples with
children will receive $1200, plus $300 for every
child
After the deductions from the rebate check
to Lhose making more lhan $75,000, individuals
making more lhan $95,000 will not receive their
tax rebate In this bipartisan, backwards tax re-
bate system, those who pay ihe most in taxes re
ceive the least, if anything back.
Individuals who receive these checks are
more likely to save or use these checks to pay
off debts they have accumulated from our last
call of "go out and buy something for yourself
drives to spur the economy
Even though most college students are ex-
cited to receive a check back, most do not de-
serve the money; giving to those who do not
pay, on Ihe basis of entitlement and equality, is
absolutely ridiculous.
When checks arrive, those who actually pay
taxes should be saying, "It is about time 1 get my
money back" All those who don't pay for the
system should be thanking friends and neigh-
bors for the free nde they are about to receive

Religious differences should not be focus in War on Terror
GRADY
BOUMNG
Since Sept 11,2001,
there has been debate among
the religious sects in our
world as to
whether we
are in a re-
ligious war
between Ju-
deo Chris-
tian be-
liefs and Is-
lam. Such
speculation
is untrue
and dan-
gerous, es-
pecially on
the United
States' side
of Ihe spectrum
However, for al least one
talk radio host, we are on the
verge of a showdown of bib-
lical proportions. Recent
ly, the Council for Islamic
and American Relations has
come under fire from radi-
cal right-wing talk radio host
Michael Savage
After the council used
clips of Savage giving anti-
lslamic statements and at-
tempted to get him fired for
hate-speech violations in the
city of San Francisco, Savage
chose to sue the organization
for "copyright issues,"
There are several quotes
from Savage regarding his
opinions on Islam, but his
comments on his radio show,
"The Savage Nation," sum it
all up
On his Ocl 29, 2007.
show, Savage said, "I don't
wanna hear one more word
about Islam Take your reli-
gion and shove it up your be-
hind I'm sick of you"
However crude he might
seem, Savage feels he is cor-
rect in voicing these senti-
ments, especially when look-
ing at documents of radical
Muslims of the past
Take the late Ayatullah
Ruhollah Khomeini, In his
1942 publication, "Islam Is
Not a Religion of Pacifists,"
Khomeini basically lays the
foundation for radical Islam
Those who know noth
ing of Islam pretend thai Is
lam counsels against war
Those are witless. Islam says:
Kill all the unbelievers just
as they would kill you all,"
Khomeini wrote
People like Savage use
statements like this lo justify
the "|udeo Christian vs Mus-
lim" notion Even religious
leaders have made state-
ments to push this idea on
United Slates citizens
In March 2002, the late
Rev Jerry Fatwell staled
some of his opinions of the
War on Terror.
"This 'turn the oth-
er cheek' business is all well
and good, but it's nol what
Jesus fought and died for,"
Falwell said "What we need
to do is take the battle to
the Muslim heathens and
do unto them before they do
unto us."
There are strikingly close
parallels in these two say
ings, even over a short period
of time However, it's when
such sayings are taken seri
ously (hat tragedy strikes.
Chuck Sudetic's book,
"Blood and Vengeance: One
Family's Story of the War
in Bosnia," tells the story of
Visegrad, a town in eastern
Bosnia -Herzegovina during
the 1991-95 civil war
After a local Muslim fa-
natic declared jihad on Serb
Christians. Serbs retaliated
by leading the entire Muslim
population of Ihe town to a
nearby bridge There, they
slaughtered men. women and
children in a variety of ways;
the most popular method
was throwing victims from
the bridge and shooting them
as they fell into the river.
In the end, more than
3,000 innocent people died.
Furthermore, according to
for ihe former Yugoslavia
documents, from the Interna-
tional Criminal Tribunal 119
of these people were chil-
dren.
The story is a grisly one,
but in the end. one needs
lo look at the results. The
"crime" of these poor souls:
being Muslim
Fighting the War
on Terror should
never be fought on
the basis of re-
ligion from
the side of
the Western
powers.
Examples
such as
these show
the dangers
of fighting on
the basis of re-
ligion
For some,
like Savage, say
ing such contro-
versial statements
might be emotional-
ly freeing. But there
is always the risk that
one could act on such hate-
ful rhetoric In the end, ev-
eryone suffers the conse-
quences History is all the ev
idence you need

CU PRESIDENT
CANDIDATE
SCRUTINIZED
CAMPUS PRESS | COLORADO
Bruce Benson is un-
der scrutiny by University
of Colorado students for his
policies and past criminal
record that includes a DUI
and a domestic violence dis-
pute
According to the Colo-
rado Bureau of Investigation
records, Benson, who was re
cently named the sole candi-
date for university president
by the CU Board of Regents,
received a citation for driv-
ing under the influence of al-
cohol on April 10, 1960,
A story that ran in the
New York Times during
Benson's campaign for Col-
orado governor in 1994 cit-
ed information about an affi-
davit concerning a threat to
his ex-wife, Nancy Benson.
Mrs Benson said her hus-
band had "harassed, taunted
and threatened" her The re-
cords also disclosed that Mr
Benson had been having an
affair for two years before he
asked for a divorce, to which
be has admitted.
The article also men-
tioned that in the divorce re-
cords, which are now sealed,
Benson had told his son he
was "going to kill" his for-
mer wife.
In a news conference af-
ter the disclosures, Benson
said that he regretted saying
he would kill his wife, and
that having an affair was a
mistake
"I've fully admitted the
errors of the ways of my life,"
he said.
Alice Shallcross. soph-
omore in integrative physi-
ology and Spanish, said she
believes personal matters
might not necessarily depict
the kind of leader Benson
might be
"We are the ones affect-
ed by everything he will do,"
Shallcross said. "If he mess-
es up, we're going to feel the
effects of it"
During an open forum
with Benson, another stu-
dent addressed the subject
of his DUIs
"You make a mistake,
you stand up and admit it,"
Benson said. "It was an aw-
ful long time ago I think it's
been addressed in the past. I
don't think it looks bad"

HOUSE ATTEMPTS TO
DECREASE PRICE OP
TEXTBOOKS
THE MIAMI STUDENT
MIAMI UNIVERSITY OF OHIO
In an effort to assist col-
lege students with the high
costs of education, Con-
gress has taken the next step
in passing a bill to help stu-
dents cope with the price of
textbooks.
The House of Represen-
tatives voted on Feb, 7 to re-
quire lighter regulations for
colleges and publishers in
the College Opportunity and
Affordability Act If the bill
becomes law, it would rein-
stall portions of the Higher
Education Act, which is the
law that governs federal stu-
dent aid
The College Opportu-
nity and Affordability Act
would require publishers to
promote custom textbooks
for the purpose of elimi-
nating the high expenses of
packaged books
Under the bill, textbook
prices could be cheaper be-
cause they would be sold in
dividually rather than pack-
aged with other publica-
tions.
By informing bookstores
of what books they will use,
instructors can increase the
buyback price to students
and increase the number
of used books available for
them to buy, said Charles
Schmidt, spokesperson for
the National Association of
College Stores (NACS), the
professional trade associa-
tion that represents the col-
legiate retail industry
Additionally, publishers
would be required to show
a disclosure In all promo-
tional materials, publish-
ers would need to note their
textbooks' wholesale prices,
the copyright dates of pre-
vious editions, summaries
of substantial content revi-
sions and the availability of
the book in paperback.
In addition, the bill
would require universities to
list the course material that
would be required within the
course catalog, which is the
directory of classes that stu-
dents may register for in the
following semester
Schmidt said the bill
would increase industry
transparency, mandating
textbook requirements to be
listed along with class regis-
tration lists This would al-
low students to be aware of
additional finances prior to
the beginning of a class

Chinese students have interactive
breakfast with Chinese ambassador
By David Griffin, Jr.
KANSAS STATE UUXEdlAN
Chinese Ambassador HE
Zhou Wenzhong spoke direct
ly to more than 250 Chinese
K-State students al a breakfast
Tuesday morning at the K State
Alumni Center
During his speech, Zhou
expressed how pleased he was
with the number of Chinese
students who attend K SI ale,
and how import atit it is to the
students' futures that they are
here
Jim Lewis, director of in-
ternational pre-admissions and
recruiting, said the ambassa-
dor's visit reflected K-State's
good relationship with Chinese
students
"It shows that they made a
good choice to come to K-State
I think a lot of students are
very pleased thai the ambassa-
dor came," he said
Though the breakfast was
at 8 am . the ambassador's
speech drew a large crowd.
The faces of those in at
tendance expressed joy. and
their comments and body Ian
guage displayed pride to be in
the presence of such an impor-
tant figure in their native com-
munity.
K-State continues to work
on the recruitment of Chinese
students.
During recent years, the
number of Chinese students
has gruwn largely because of
recruiting efforts. Lewis said.
Charles Reagan, associate
to the president and Landon
Lecture Series chairman, said
the university is very commit-
ted to its efforts to appeal to
Chinese students
"We have taken steps to
get more Chinese students
here; we have an office in Bei-
jing, and we have a represen-
tative who goes to college fairs
and visits with high school stu-
dents and their parents, gives
Ihem literature and answers
questions about K-State." Rea
gan said
This visit by Ambassador
Zhou was not only important
to the Chinese students, but to
the university as a w hole, said
President ]on Wefald
"It was an important day
yesterday when we had the am-
bassador from China to Amer-
ica here, just to help educate
K-State students about Chi-
na, its history, its culture and
its powerful economy of 2008,"
Wefald said. "We have about
300 Chinese students here and
I think for them to know that
the very ambassador from the
whole country of China is here,
I think it gives them great en-
thusiasm for being here at
K-State to know that we're not
so far away"

Shocked
K-State earns 5-2 victory
over ranked WSU team
WOMEN'S TENNIS
By Tyler Sharp
KANSAS STATE COLLKJ1AN
With the doubles point on the
line and K- State's No 2 doubles
team of freshman Antea Huljev
and senior Viviana Yrureta already
down 0-3, securing the coveted dou-
bles point did not seem likely.
But through resilient play,
Huljev and Yrureta were able to bat-
tle back, defeating Wichita States
Stephanie Dalmacio and Laryssa
Ferreira, 8-6 and secured the dou-
bles point for the Wildcats on their
way to a 5-2 win over Wichita State
on Tuesday Coach Steve Bietau said
he knew winning the doubles point
against the Intercollegiate Tennis As
sociation's No. 33 -ranked Shockers
would be a challenge
"I thought it would be tough,"
he said. "Antea and Vjvi did a good
job of fighting back and getting back
into that match. Antea hit a couple
of key serves at the end and we were
fortunate to get the doubles point"
Huljev and Yrureta's success at
securing the doubles point showed
the Wildcat's improvement over the
past few weeks, Yrureta said
"Well, I think we came back
pretty good," Yrureta said "We start-
ed down 3-0 and we came back. It
was a tough match the whole time I
think our game is getting a lot better.
I think we're doing a lot better than
we were in the beginning"
In other doubles action, se-
nior Olga Klimova and junior Kat-
crina Kudlackova faced a challenge
against Wichita State's No. 1 team
of Lcnore Lazaroiu and Anna Ego-
rova. The WSU duo went on to cap-
ture the win. 8-2
K- State's French connection of
freshmen Vanessa Cottin and Pau
line Guemas captured an 8-4 win in
the No. 3 doubles spot The win tied
the two teams and forced Huljev
and Yrureta to secure the doubles
point for the Wildcats
"They were our most solid spot
in (he doubles." Bietau said 'They
showed some resilience that none of
our other teams did. [It's] something
you don't always expect bum young
players."
Strong play from K Slate car-
ried over into singles play, where
the Wildcats won four out of the six
matches Yrureta topped Dalmacio.

matches in both the No. 5 and No. 6
spots
Kudlackova's match ultimately
secured the win for the Wildcats
"I think it's pretty big," Yrure-
ta "We slill have to get better for the
teams we play down the road."
In the end, Bietau said he was
pleased with the Wildcats' play.
"It was the first of five matches
where we're really going to be test-
ed," he said. "This was an awfully
good start"

FITNESS
Workout drink choice depends on ones health preferences
KENDALL
HALL
You probably have seen the com-
mercials talking about Propel Fitness
Water and how it has only 25 calo-
ries compared to vi-
tamin waters that
have 250 calories
Which is better be-
fore, during or after
workouts? Which
tastes better?
A scientific eve-
ning of label -com-
paring and taste-
testing eight differ-
ent water alterna-
tives concluded that
the best product de-
pends on your selection criteria. All the
drinks that were compared come in 20-
ounce bottles, which actually amounts
to two-and-a-half servings, so watch
how much you drink of any of these
products.
VITAMIN-HEAVY DRINK: LIFE
WATER BY SOBE
If you re looking for a drink to
supply you with vitamins and oth-
er feel-good ingredients. Life Water by
Sobe is your best bet. At 40 per serving,
Life Water has the lewest calories com-
pared to Glaeeau's Vitamin Water and
Snapple's Antioxidant Water
Life Water also has 100 percent
of your Vitamin C intake for the day
and was the only drink with niacin,
a component of Vitamin B Howev-
er, the Snapple Antioxidant Water was
the only druik with calcium. And while
the Glseeau Vitamin Water had more
B vitamins, it also had caffeine As far
as taste was concerned, Sobe Life Wa
ter was by far the best, because the
other two drinks were too watered
down.
DURING OR AFTER WORKOUT
DRINK: WATER
If you are looking for some-
thing to drink during or after your
workouts, regular water is still the
best Unless you are doing high-in-
tensity exercise for more than two
hours, you really don't need all the
extra stuff in sports drinks But if
you insist on a beverage with a lit-
tle something extra, the healthi
est choice is Propel Fitness Water.
Even though it tastes super- sugary,
it has the least amount of calories,
sugar, carbohydrates and sodium
per serving
ELECTROLYTES: POWER ADE
ORG2
If you want the extra calories and
sodium, which some people will trans-
late into electrolytes, then you should
be reaching for Powerade, which has
17 grams of carbohydrates Another al-

new G2. both of which have 1 10 mil
ligrams of sodium. All of these drinks
come in 32 to 33 8 -ounce bottles, or
approximately four servings. You can
buy smaller sizes, but G2 is the hardest
to find because it is so new.
If you are a Gatorade fanatic, but
want a low-calorie option, G2 is per-

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
MORGANTOWN, W.Va,
- The lawsuit over a $4 mil-

government,
not an independent agency,
and lawsuits involving state
government can be heard
only in the state court system,
U.S. District fudge |ohn P
Bailey said Monday
He sent the case back to
Monongalia County Circuit
Court in Morgantown, where
it was filed Dec 27 after Ro-
driguez resigned to take the
head coaching job at Michi-
gan.
His abrupt departure end-
ed a successful seven-year run
with the Mountaineers, left
the team without a head coach
just weeks before the Fiesta
Bow] and touched off a bitter,
continuing public feud.
"The university obvious-
ly agrees with the decision of
the court and has always felt
that the proper place for this
action was the Circuit Court
of Monongalia County," said
WVU attorney Jeff Wakefield
"We believe the Circuit Court
will be very fair in its consid-
eration and handling of this
matter."

Weis gives up
play-calling
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
SOUTH BEND, Ind. -
Notre Dame coach Charlie
Weis, who built his coaching
reputation as
a play -caller
while helping
the New Eng-

ots win three
Super Bowls,
won't be call-
ing plays for
the Fight-
ing I rah next
Offen-
sive coordinator Mike Hay-
wood will call plays so Weis,
coming off a dismal 39 season,
can concentrate on his duties
as head coach.
"I think that when you're
play-calling on offense, you
might not necessarily be the
best head coach So what I'm
trying to do is I'm trying to be a
better head coach," he said.
"I just felt that I had to, af-
ter this past season, figure out
a laundry list of things on and
off the field that I wanted to
make better, and this was one
oflhein," he said.
Staying in college for education is better choice for Michael Beasley
Michael Jordan, Magic
Johnson, Charles Barkley and
Larry Bird What do those
four Hall of
Famers have
in common?
They are
all on the
NBA's list of
SO greatest
players, they
all have ele-
ments of their '
game similar
to K-State's
own freshman •
forward, Mi-
chael Beasley, and they all
played significant roles on
their respective teams upon
entering the NBA as rookies
An increasing number of
young high school basketball
players are eventually faced
with a difficult decision Take
the money and join the NBA,
JONATHAN
WRIGHT
or accept the scholarship
and go to college? In recent
years, there has been a surge
of athletes jumping straight
from high school to the NBA,
The NBA decided to put
a stop to it in 2005 by im-
posing a rule that a player
had to be 19 before making
the jump to the profession
al ranks Now, America's best
young talent is forced to at
tend prep school or go to col-
lege Michael Beasley is no
exception.
Most kids would just go
to the NBA after one year.
They see big money, the high-
profile life and think they are
ready
However, in reality,
many players arc unable to
deal with the rigorous regi
men of playing basketball ev-
ery day against the some of
the best players in the world
EXHIBIT A: KEVIN DUR ANT,
FORWARD, SEATTLE
SUPERSONICS
The 6-foot-9 rookie was
college's best player Inst year
He was a unanimous first
team All-American and the
second pick in the N BA draft.
His lack of strength - he was
unable to bench press 1 85
pounds at pre draft workout
- shows in the more physical
brand of NBA basketball. He
struggled to find his shot that
came so effortlessly against
the lesser talent of college
basketball.
EXHIBIT B: KWAME
BROWN, LOS ANGELES
LAKERS
After a stellar high sehuul
career. Brown was drafted
first overall by the Washing-
ton Wizards in 2001 His ca-
reer has been anything hut
spectacular Averaging a min-
iscule 7.6 points and 5.7 re
bounds per game, he has
done little to prove himself
worthy of the No, 1 overall
pick.
EXHIBITS C,D,E AND F:
MICHAEL JORDAN, MAGIC
JOHNSON, CHARLES BARK-
LEY AND LARRY BIRD.
Michael Jurdan went
to college lor three years at
North Carolina You know
the rest of the story.
After lour years at Michi-
gan State, Magic Johnson was
named to the all-rookie te;im
and led the Lakers to a cham-
pionship his rookie year
Charles Barkley went to
\uburn for three years and
averaged nearly 17 points
and 1 1 rebounds his first two
yean.
Larry Bird spent four
years at Indiana Slate and av-
eraged a double -double dur-
ing his first six years in the
NBA
Some might counter this
argument with the fact that
Kobe Bryant, Kevin Garnett
and Tracy McGrady are phe-
noms who never went to col-
lege But I challenge them to
look at each player's career
statistics. You will see a signif-
icant increase in production
after their first two or three
years. They would have been
better off staying in college
for those first few years.
Of course there are ex-
ceptions to this argument,
like LeBron James and Car-
melo Anthony. LeBron came
straight out of high school
and was an immediate super-
star. Carmelo spent a season
in college, winning a cham-
pionship at Syracuse and
jumped to the NBA where
he also became a superstar.
However, these exceptions
are few and far between
Of the 50 players on the
NBA's Ail-Time Greatest Play-
ers list, four spent less than
three years in college. I'm not
saying Michael Beasley won't
be a superstar some day in the
NBA - there is no doubt in
my mind that he will.
1 just think he would
be better served to stay at
K State another year or two
and really develop his game
so he can become a marvel at
the next level. History is not
in his favor, but the choice is
ultimately up to him.

Parody
film just
like others
"Meet the Spartans"
R«vkw by *!«< P«ik
A word to the wise: Don't
"Meet the Spartans"
The entertainment in-
dustry is already over-saturat-
ed with spouts It's already bad
enough that we have to wade
through puddles of Britney
Spears, Ryan Seaerest and Par-
is Hilton jokes
"Meet the Spartans" pokes
fun at everything from the lat-
est ludicrous behavior of celeb-
rities to movies like "300" and
Bring it On," The movie is just
an extension of "Not Another
Teen Movie" or "Scary Movie"
with a new spin: Spartans, ho-
mosexuality, spray-on muscles
and Carmen Electra.
Without watching "300"
before hand, audience mem-
bers might have a cordial giggle
here and there, but won't really
get the gist of the movie
The entire 84 minutes in-
volved the main character Le-
onidas working with a team of
Spartans to defend their home-
land from invading Persians.
Overall, the story line is
weak. I can imagine the writ-
er and director sitting around
and saying, "Let's make fun of
'300' as much as possible, beat
the children, look and act li-
centious, and throw in a few
Brangclina' jokes to keep
things interesting. Bring a mor-
bidly obese, hairy guy into the
film, and we're set."
I'm embarrassed to admit I
agreed to see this movie. But, if
nothing else, 1 at least realized
the importance of moviego-
ers demanding better entertain-
ment We no longer deserve
the sloppy- second tomfooleries
we're so accustomed to.
Bluemont

An intimate setting and
delicious desserts are only
two of the special features the
Bluemont Buffet will have for
Valentine's Day.
In order (o accommo-
date extra customers for a spe-
cial event like the Valentine's
Day buffet, organizers will
seat guests in the K- Slate Stu-
dent Union Ballroom and also
the Flint Hills, Sunflower and
Cottonwood Rooms.
Shelley Wegele, cater-
ing manager for Chartwells,
said the other rooms will help
to create an intimate atmo-
sphere.
it's cozier," Wegele said.
It kind of sets the Valentine's
theme"
As with other specialty
buffets throughout the semes-
ter, the Valentine's Day buffet
will cost $8.25 The desserts
are expected to be popular
items, and the menu is filled
with them.
The main menu items are
also expected to attract a lot
of customers. The non -dessert
menu will feature pepper lime
chicken, vegetarian lasagna
and carved grain mustard en-
crusted pork loin
"We are going to have
the ever-famous candy hearts
and assorted cupcakes and
cookies," Wegele said. "There's
also going to be cheesecake"
Pre payment and res-
ervations are recommend-
ed to speed up (he line, as
Chartwells is expecting a large
turnout, Wegele said.
Last year an about 250
people went to the Valentine's
Day buffet, and Wegele said
more might attend Thursday
Late struggles
Colbert, Conan remain strong without
writers; others fail to find original content
\ s marry know, the writ&s strike has taken
its toll on television. There have been numerous
postponements and cancellations, but a few of
the late niglit shows decided to go back on the
air to please their fans
While this seemed like a good idea at the
beginning, those late night shows would lutve
done a better service to their fans by staying off
the air
Wfiat follows is a review of four of the late
night shows that decided to brave the writer-less
waters.
"LATE NIGHT WITH CONAN O'BRIEN"
Conan seems to be the late-night com-
ic who has had the easiest time since the writ-
ers strike, and he is also the only one who man-
aged to save any sort of comedy for his opening
monologue
Unlike Jay Leno and
David Letterman, Co-
nan somehow continually
comes up with funny jokes
for the show's first few min-
utes. For one of his recent
shows, Conan hired per-
formers dressed in colorful,
puffy shirts to dance wildly
behind him after each punch
line. Like with most every-
thing else he does, the crowd
ate up the dancers' specta-
cle and cheered loudly every time they came on.
The funniest part of the monologue came when
Conan donned a jacket similar to the dancers
and began dancing with them.
Conan also has the right idea with what he
does with the time between his monologue and
interviews Rather than filling the time with stu-
pid jokes or lame lime-killers, He decided to fill
his segments with funny, creative alternatives.
The other night, for example, Conan un-
veiled his newest invention for the audience: a
mobile desk. He got a telescopic platform and
built a desk on it He used the mobile desk to
drive all over the studio. Not only was it a stroke
of time-killing genius, the crowd responded well
to the increased interaction.
Overall, Conan 's show has not been ad-
versely affected by the strike, but there is only so
long he can go until he runs out of ideas.
"LATE SHOW WITH DAVID LETTERMAN"
Despite regaining the services of his own
writers a few weeks ago, the late-night host is
having the hardest time with the strike is David
Letterman.
His opening monologue has never been
particularly strong and has taken a severe hit in
the wake of the writers' walkout
Letterman cut a few minutes from the
monologue to allow more time for conversa-
tions with Paul Schaffer, which usually turn out
to be less than desirable
Instead of working harder to come up with
funny jokes, Letterman turned to cheap giro
trucks and skits to fill the time.
In one show. Letterman answered a ring-
ing phone on his desk. Rather than witty, well-
thought-out jokes on the other end, viewers
were treated to an unclear, garbled police radio.
This happened throughout the show and every
time the phone rang, the message became more
and mure unclear and less and less funny
The only shining stars from the "Late
Show" are the segments that Letterman is not
in. Andy Kindler, "Late Show" correspondent,
traveled to various life coaches to see what they
had to say about his life
All of the comedy in the sketch came from
the coaches bashing Kindler's physical appear-
ance. Nonetheless, it was a funny segment, but
people don't tune into the "Late Show" to see
Andy Kindler
"THE TONIGHT SHOW WITH JAY LENO"
What is there to say about Jay Leno?
He has always played second hddle to
Letterman, and the joke drought from the strike
only serves to prove that point.
Drawing from the current-events pool,
Leno spent the first few minutes of his mono-
logue making jokes about politics I have no
problem with political jokes, but they cannot
make up the bulk of your sketch, and that is
what Leno did
The audience responded to the tired and
dry jokes with lackluster applause and laughter,
and viewers at home could tell they were less
than enthusiastic
The last joke of his monologue failed so
badly that afterwards Leno said, "I just wanted
to prove there was a writers strike." Fittingly, the
joke drew the largest response from the crowd.
Like Letterman, the main comedy for the
pre-interview section of the show comes from a
previously taped segment featuring a new face to
the show And also like Letterman. when there
were no more jokes to be made about the presi
dential race, Leno tumed to NBC's shows to fill
ume
Leno parodied the show Herns" and told
the audience the "Tonight Show" had a special
announcement to make about the new season of
the show.
Leno proceeded to show a clip of an obese
woman falling onto the torso of a much skinner
man
I know, 1 didn't get it either.
"THE COLBERT REPORT"
I am not even sure you can put the Stephen
Colbert's show in the same league as the net
work late night shows He is better than Conan
when O'Brien has an off day, and Letterman
and Leno don't even begin to compare.
One part of the show that Colbert has man-
aged to keep fantastic is his opening monologue
Rather than relying on tired subject matter and
the same segments over and over, Colbert keeps
his audience guessing and always manages to
blend jokes together perfectly.
Like the other shows, Colbert started hav-
ing a "pre-guest" to interview in addition to the
more involved segment with the main guests.
Colbert generally uses the time to talk with up-
and-coming movie producers or authors about
their recently released work.
The other refreshing aspect of the "Colbert
Report" is Colbert's dialogue with his guests. It
is always topical find funny, without being too
silly or over the top His interviews are also his
biggest downfall.
The only drawback to the "Report" is Col-
bert's attitude and the way he treats his guests.
There are points in his show where he interrupts
his guest, only to step back in later and steal the
spotlight back.
This causes a big problem, especially when
the guest is speaking passionately or on a top-
ic they arc clearly more knowledgeable about.
However, this is part of the appeal of his charac-
ter, which is a mockery of other larger-than-life
pundits like Bill O'Reilly and Chris Matthews

KING'S KITCHEN
Cook reveals 1st half of multiple-course Valentine's meal
The Beatles were right in sing
ing "all you need is love," and Val-
entine's Day is a perfect day to ex-
press thanks and
love for those
who are impor-
tant in one's
life. In the past.
1 haven't made
a big deal out
of Valentine's
Day as a mat-
ter of principle, I
don't need a spe-
cial day to show
someone I care.
Showing love isn't about the
gifts a person gives on one partic-
ular day. As a knowledgeable con-
sumer, 1 never understood the
point in paying upwards of $79.95
for a dozen roses when the price
hits rock bottom the next day
True moments of love come
about in the rare moments a cou-
ple shares together without dis-
tractions, completely focused on
each other, or in tittle acts of kind-
ness like waking someone up with
a mug of coffee
This year, I won't be getting
my better half roses or even a box
of chocolates Instead we are going
to share a romantic candle-lit din-
ner and a movie of her choice, just
the two of us I have been plan-
ning this menu for the last month.
and I am ready to share it with
you and her. This multiple-course
meal will be a two-day feature
concluding tomorrow
Today's half of the menu will
start off with a small stew as an
appetizer, followed by the main
protein. Tomorrow will cover the
side dish and dessert

Cycling club competes nationally, attracts several new members
By Sarah Builord
icansas !> tAit riHIMMH
It doesn't have to be
a balmy spring day for the
K Slate Cycling Team to be
seen out and about.
The iv. i it i bikes cyelo-
(. rosses (hybrid bikes) in the
winter, road bikes in the spring
and mountain bikes in the fall
Members tend to ride individ-
ually, but the club's president,
Tyler Whetstone, said one of
their goals this year is to ride
more often as a group to prac-
tice for races.
"Since you're doing a lot
of things by yourself, it's nice
to come back and check in
with other people," Whet-
stone, sophomore in industri-
al engineering, said
The club meets at 7
p.m. every Wednesday in the
K-Stale Student Union to
make club decisions and learn
more about bikes Practices
this year will consist of learn-
ing race tactics and bike-ban
dling drills. Whetstone said
"Everyone's welcome," he
said. "If you tried the club be-
fore, try it again A lot of cool
things are happening"
Gerald Hart, senior in
mechanical engineering and
team member, said members
compete in the North Cen-
tral Collegiate Cycling Con-
ference, which is sanctioned
by USA Cycling, the nation-
al licensing and governing
body for competitive cycling
in the United States. K Stale
competes in Division 1, which
also includes the University of
Kansas, the University of Min-
nesota, St Cloud State Uni-
versity, Iowa State Universi-
ty, the University of Nebras-
ka-Lincoln, Minnesota Slate
University- Mankato, the Uni-
versity of Iowa, Winona State
University and the University
of Minnesota-Duluth
The first race takes place
April 6 at K State In past
years, Hart said about six to
eighl K-State students have
competed; Whetstone said
about 20 people are now in-
terested in racing
"It's really taken off," Hart
said. "We've got a lot of peo-
ple interested this year"
Members typically ride
two times a week in the winter
and more often in the spring
and summer, Hart said Some
ride as far as 60 miles on week
ends, but Hart said people can
ride for only 10 miles if they
don't want to go farther.
"There are a lot of begin-
ners and a few people who are
more experienced." he said
"There's a pretty wide range.
A lot of people are just start-
ing out as far as cycling."
Hart said he encouraged
people to try the club because
the speed, age and distance
levels vary If obtaining a bike
is a concern, Hart said the
club can help
"We can help you out
with getting a nice bike to try
out," he said "We have some
extra bikes"
Whetstone helped bring
Critical Mass to Manhattan
last year, which is an evening-
long bike ride for Manhattan
residents and students He
said one of his personal goals
is to see everyone ride a bike.
"1 do my best to fur
ther the cycling communi-
ty in Manhattan," Whetstone
said "Don't worry about rfav
ing the right bike or going fast
enough fust [join] to hang out
with cool people"
Claire Armstrong, soph
omore in public health nutri
tion and cycling club member,
said biking and being around
other club members make*
her feel good She also said
joining the club is a great Way
to find people in the eyeing
community to ride with
"You learn more about
your character and mere
about your bike," Armstrong
said "I don't know many ejr '
clists who have started and 1
then quit. Usually it's a Ufa-
long thing." _'.*V

Numerous embezzlement cases spur introduction of church management classes
THE ASSOC1ATEP PRESS
PHILADELPHIA - The
globe-trotting priest from
Connecticut drove a Jaguar,
shopped at Bergdorf Good-
man and bought jewelry from
Carrier, all of it with money
stolen from his church's cof-
fers. By the time the parish h
nance council caught on, he
had embezzled $1.3 million.
Many US churches have
been victims of embezzlement
over the years, reflecting not
just moral weakness on the
part of the wrongdoers, but
lax financial controls. Often.
church budgets are overseen
by volunteers or employees
with little guidance or profes-
sional training
Now, some colleges are
hoping to prevent such faith-
shattering abuses by offering
programs devoted specifically
to managing church finances
and personnel.
Duquesne University in
Pittsburgh and Boston Col
lege started programs in Sep-
tember, and Villanova Uni-
versity outside Philadelphia
is offering an online master's
degree in church management
beginning this summer
The concept is becoming
more popular despite some
among the faithful who bristle
at the notion of the church as
a business, said Kerry Robin-
son, executive director of the
National Leadership Round-
table on Church Management,
a Roman Catholic group
It is true that the church
is not a company, and we re-
spect and acknowledge that,"
Robinson said "But it is com-
prised of people, finances and
facililies Catholic theology
demands that those are man
aged well - and not just well,
but to the highest, exemplary
degrees of stewardship "
Better financial controls
might have led to an earlier
uncovering of the priest sexu-
al abuse scandal, said Charles
Zech, director of Villano-
va's Center for the Study of
Church Management Numer-
ous financial red flags were
missed as dioceses and arch-
dioceses quietly settled with
victims and paid for treatment
for priests
More than 60 Catholic di-
oceses responding to a survey
by Zech and a colleague re-
ported embezzlements within
the past five years. The survey
got responses from only about
hall of those contacted, but
60 amounts to around one
third of the nation's dioceses
About a half-dozen of the dio
ceses that responded reported
thefts of more than $500,000
"If folks were better
trained in management, a lot
of problems that churches
face today could have been
avoided," Zech said.
[ust last year, the Asso-
ciated Press found reports of
more than 20 churches in 17
stales dealing with embezzle-
ment cases The cases includ-
ed clergy or church employ
ees who were either charged
with, sentenced for, convicted
of or pleaded guilty to stealing
religious funds.
The frauds involved many
denominations and includ-
ed a Roman Catholic priest in
Virginia who admitted steal-
ing at least $400,000 from his
parishioners and a Lutheran
youth minister in Pennsylva-
nia charged with embezzling
more than $68,000

Duquesne and Villanova -
began offering a master's in
pastoral ministry with a con
centration in church manage-
ment. It also offers dual mas-
ter's degrees in ministry and
business.
Boston College theolo-
gy professor Thomas Groome
said he became convinced the
programs were needed after
attending a convocation of
clergy and laity a few years
ago
"We were speaking two
different languages," Groome
said. "The business people
were talking about econo-
mies of scale. The bishops and
the theologians were talking
about the church being a sac-
rament of God's reign in the
world"
Jon [akublich, one of
about nine students in Boston
College's on-campus program.
enrolled in hopes of landing a
management role in a Catho-
lic parish lakoblich, 25, said
that he wants to help with
strategic planning and leader-
ship, and that this kind of ed-
ucation is necessary "to sus-
tain the long-term health of
the church "
At Villanova, the two-
year, part-time master's pro-
gram is expected to garner
about two dozen applications
from Catholics and Protes-
tants alike, Zech said So far,
about half the applicant* are
clergy. Courses include finan-
cial reporting and controls;
civil law and church taw for
church administrators, and
personnel management
The Rev Frank McGrath,
the new pastor at victimized
St. to tin Roman Catholic
Church in Darien, Conn., said
pastors should receive some
administrative training, either
at seminaries or from the dio
cese after being ordained
A private detective
hired in 2006 to investigate
McGrath's big-spending pre
decessor, the Rev Michael
|ude Fay, found that he had
secret bank accounts and fla-
grantly abused church credit
cards.
"Anything he wanted, he
charged. And nobody stopped
him for years and years and
years," said investigator Vito
Colucci Jr "There was no ac-
countability"
A second investigation
ordered by the Bridgeport
diocese found that the par-
ish finance council had hdjf
met regularly in recent ye^atsj'
largely because of Fay's atf
sences from the parish .'Pay

in 2001 and frequently cjled.

church finances
The diocese has since' in-
stituted stricter financial cort
trols and appointed a dea-
con with more than 30 years
of management experience to
oversee the new initiatives
The changes include an Inter-
net-based accounting system
that all 87 parishes began us
ing last May; new financiaLic
ports; and an updated parish
accounting manual.
Fay is set to report to fed
eral prison in April to begin
serving more than three years
But some parishioners were
so hurt they left.
"They may never return
And their spiritual lives may
never be restored," McGrath
said in a statement submit-
ted in court. "The deepest im
pact of Father Fay's miscon-
duct cannot be quantified be-
cause it transcends dollars."

PEOPLE IN THE NEIGHBORHOOD
Haymaker community assistant reveals quarks, responsibilities of job
By Sarah Burford
KANSAS STATE COLLEGIAN
Brooke Bnand. sopho-
I more in geology, U a communi-
ty assistant at Haymaker Hall.
"Tjhls is Briand's second year liv-
ing in the residence halls, and
( she said she enjoys working at
Haymaker's from desk as a CA
Briand said the best part about
her job is meeting new people
and being "in the know" about
certain events that occur in the
residence halls
Q: What do you do as a com-
munity assistant in the resi-
dence halls?
A: Basically l*m here to help the
residents with whatever they
need: their keys to their rooms,
packages, mail, any questions
they have
What's your favorite part
about being a CA.?
A: It's kind of fun to know
more about the hall than just
being a resident I know a lot
more about what's going on. a
lot more about the policies ...
I can explain things to people.
It's fun being in the know
It's interesting knowing
things that happen at night If
something on our floor happens
and you didn't know about ii.
you find out about it by being a
CA and being at the front desk
Q: What Is the hardest part
about being a CA?
A: Well, this isn't the hardest
part, but I would say the most
tedious is doing the mail. It's
not bad; it's just very mundane,
repetitive it gels old fast I'm
supposed to do it once a week
- then we rotate on weekends
Sometimes 1 just go (to the mail-
room] and pick up whatever is
on the desk. Sometimes for-
warding | mail] just gels thrown
back there, and it doesn't get
dotie.
I don't like the down time
sometimes I worked from 1 to
5 a.m. last weekend. It was hard
to get through that
Q: What does the front desk
offer to the hall residents?
A: There is a lot of equipment
they can check out; it's just thai
many people don't take ad-
vantage of it There are games,
sporting equipment, cook-
ing stuff and weird things like
a hacksaw in case you ever
need a hacksaw
Q: Have you had any strange
experiences working at the
front desk?
A: Usually not too strange.
though there are some strange
things that people bring up
here, like wine and things like
that ... There was a bra once -
that was gross There are things
[residents) nn d in the dorm
and bring them up here They
figure, "It's the front desk, just
bring it up there," so there are
some weird things people bring
back There was like one ear-
ring, a ring, jackets, coats, a
book bag
Q: Why did you pick a job in
the dorms?
A: My sister was a CA last year,
and it was a good way to get to
know people - a good way lo
get connected in the hall. And
it gives me more of a communi-
ty - you know people and you
get to say "hi" to them.
Q: What would you say to en-
courage someone to apply for
Joslyn Brown | i ill I H.lAS
Brook* Briand. sophomore m geology, works the front desk as a community assistant at Haymaker Hall
Tuesday evening. Briand said the role of the CA is the help residents with any of their needs.
(he CA position?
A: Go ahead and apply It's a
really great job, and even if you
don't know if you'll be accept-
ed, it's always good to go ahead
and apply. 1 didn't think |l
would get il| but here I am sit-
ting at the front desk
Q: Have you ever had lo deal
with an emergency situation?
A: We had to evacuate the
building twice during one of my
shifts for fire alarms The first
fire alarm was like two weeks
after 1 started working at the
front desk
Q: What's (he importance of
having someone sitting at the
front desk?
A: If you have an emergency,
instead of going to find some
one in your hall, you can just
come down here, and we'll take
care uf it
WORLD BRIEFS
AUSTRALIA APOLOGIZES
FOR TREATMENT OF
ABORIGINES IN THE PAST
CANBERRA, Australia -
Aborigines organized breakfast
barbecues in the Outback, gi-
ant TV screens went up in stale
capitals and schools allowed
students to watch the telecast of
Australia's apology Wednesday
for policies that degraded its in-
digenous people.
In a historic parliamentary
vote that supporters said would
open a new chapter in race re-
lations, lawmakers unanimous-
ly adopted Prime Minister Kev-
in Rudd's motion to apologize
on behalf of all Australians.
"We apologize for the laws
and policies of successive par
liamenls and governments that
have inflicted profound grief,
suffering and toss on these, our
fellow Australians," Rudd said
in Parliament, reading from the
motion.
Aborigines remain the
country's poorest and most dis-
advantaged group, and Rudd
has made improving their lives
one of his government's top pri-
orities.
As part of that campaign.
Aborigines were invited for the
first time to give a tradition
ill welcome Tuesday at the of-
ficial opening of the Parliament
session - symbolic recognition
that the land on which the cap-
ital was built was taken from
Aborigines without compensa-
tion.
The apology is directed al
tens of thousands of Aborigines
who were forcibly taken from
their families as children under
now-abandoned assimilation
IF CONDEMNED, 9/1 T
PLANNERS COULD BE
EXECUTED AT GITMO
SAN JUAN, Puerto Kico
- If six suspected terrorists are
sentenced lo death al Guan-
i ; i n,n n i > Bay for the Sept 1 1 at-
tacks, US. Army regulations
that were quietly amended two
years ago open the possibility of
execution by lethal injection at
the military base in Cuba, ex-
perts said Tuesday
Any executions would
probably add to internation-
al outrage over Guantana-
mo, since capital punishment
is banned in 130 countries , in-
cluding the 27 nation European
Union
Conducting the executions
on U.S. soil could open the way
for the detainees' lawyers to go
to US courts lo fight ihe death
MUte O CC t, But the updated reg-
ulations make it possible for the
executions to be carried out at
Guantanatnu.
David Sheldon, an attor-
ney and former member of the
Navy's legal corps, said an ex
ecution chamber at Guantana-
mo would be largely beyond the
reach of US courts
I think that's the admin-
istration's idea, lo try to use
Guantanamo as a base lo not be
under the umbrella of the fed-
eral district courts," he said "If
one is detained in North Caroli-
na or South Carolina in a Navy
brig, one could conceivably file
a petition of habeas corpus and
because of where they're locat-
ed, invoke the jurisdiction of a
federal court"
The condemned men could
even be buried at Guantanamo
A Muslim section of the ceme-
tery at Guanlanamo has been
dedicated by an Islamic cul
lural adviser, said Bruce Lloyd,
spokesman for the Guantana-
mo Naval Station Among those
buried elsewhere al the ceme-
tery are U.S. servicemen.
ROBBERS STEAL PAINTINGS
WORTH AT LEAST $160
MILLION
ZURICH, Switzerland -
Only scratches remain on the
white walls where the four Im-
pressionist masterpieces once
hung No metal detectors, no
armed guards, no cameras were
in sight Tuesday, underscor-
ing just how vulnerable many
of Europe's small museums are
lo thieves enticed by soaring art
prices
The robbers who carried
oul one of Europe's most dra-
matic art heists are likely crimi-
nals with no art expertise or un-
derstanding of how difficult it is
to sell such famous paintings,
experts said Tuesday The sto-
len works by Cezanne, Degas,
van Gogh and Monet are worth
$163.2 million
Karl Heinz Kind, an art
theft expert at Interpol, said part
of the problem is the appeal of
museums like the EG Buehrle
Collection, with its accessibili-
ty and atmosphere encouraging
reflection and appreciation
\ museum or a church is
not made to be a prison." Kind
said in a telephone interview
from Lyon, France, where In-
terpol has its headquarters.
"You can imagine screen-
ing luggage or clothes under
machines, or X-raying them.
You could imagine in churches
or cathedrals to put the statues
of saints behind iron bars."
Marco Cortesi of the Zu-
rich police noted the robbery
Sunday took less than three
minutes, carried oul by gunmen
in ski masks who burst into
the museum just before closing
time. While one trained a pistol
on museum personnel ordered
to lie on the floor, two others
collected the paintings and sped
off with them.

KANSAS STATE COLLEGIAN
WEDNESDAY, fEBRUARYl 3, 2Q08
Energy bill outlines guidelines, regulations
IHE ASSOCIATED PRfcSS
TOPEKA - Details of the
energy bill endorsed Tuesday
by the Kansas House Energy
and Utilities Committee:
SUNFLOWER CHANGES
The provisions are a re-
sponse to the decision in Octo-
ber by Rod Bremby, secretary
of health and environment, to
deny a permit to Sunflower
Electric Power Corp for two
700-megawatt coal-fired pow-
er plants outside Holcomb.
- The secretary would be re-
quired to reconsider any per-
mit decision made on an appli-
cation submitted between fan
1, 2006. and the day the legis
La ion takes effect, if that per
mil is still subject to adminis-
trative or judicial proceedings.
Sunflower's permit applica
tion fits the description
- The utility would have 60
days to reapply lor its permit,
and (he secretary would have
15 days to act.
- The secretary of health and
environment could not re-
ject a permit when all require-
ments of the stale's existing
air-quality laws have been met
by a utility Such a provision
would have required Bremby
to approve a permit for Sun-
flower
- The secretary could not im
pose air-quuliiy standards that
arc stricter than those in feder-
al law without going through
the formal process of issu-
ing rules, which requires pub-
lic hearings and review by the
attorney general and Legisla-
ture
CARBON DIOXIDE
EMISSIONS
Power plants that burn
coal, natural gas or fuel oil
to run their electricity-gener-
ating turbines must capture
C02 "using best technological
practices." No further guide-
lines are included.
RENEWABLE ENERGY
- Utilities would be required
to generate 10 percent of their
electricity from renewable re-
sources such as wind by 2010
They'd have to generate 25
percent from renewable re-
sources by 2025.
The Kansas Corporation
Commission, which sets the
utility rates, would be required
to allow investor-owned util-
ities to earn an additional 1
percent return on their invest
ments if they comply with the
renewable energy standards.
The KCC regulates their re-
turns because they hold a mo-
nopoly within a given service
territory.
ENERGY EFFICIENCY
- The state would provide in-
come tax credits to landlords
who make homes, duplexes
or apartments they rent more
energy efficient The tax cred-
it would be $100 for each unit
in which new insulation is in-
stalled and $300 for each rent-
al home in which new heal-
ing or air conditioning sys-
tems are installed Supporters
expect the credits to total be
twecn $2 5 million and $3 mil-
lion a year.
- Starting in 2010. fuel- effi-
ciency standards for vehicles
purchased by the state would
have to be 10 percent high-
er than they were in 2007, if it
were cosl -effective.
- Office products and equip-
ment purchased by the state,
including computers, appli-
ances, light fixtures and light
bulbs, would have to meet ef-
ficiency standards set by the
federal government, if energy
savings made their use cost-ef-
fective.
- The Department of Admin
istration would be required to
collect data on energy con-
sumption and costs for all
property owned and leased by
the stale and submit a report
to the 2009 Legislature The
goal is to identify locations us
ing excessive energy
- The state could not lease
space or renew a lease on
property not owned by the
stale unless the owners con-
ducted an energy audit.
- The Kansas Corporation
Commission would be re
quired to increase participa-
tion by school districts and lo
cal governments in a program
to make their facilities more
energy efficient The KCC
would be required to "strong
ly encourage" state agencies to
participate by Dec 10, 2010
- State buildings constructed
after July 1, 2009. would have
to meet energy- efficiency
standards at least 10 percent
lower than those established
by the American SocieU nl
Heating. Refrigerating and Air
Conditioning Engineers Fuel
and water meters would have
to meet standards sei by the
federal government in 2005
- The same efficiency stan-
dards would apply, where pos
sible, to buildings renovated
after (hat date
NET METERING
- The following provisions ap-
ply to utility customers who
have their own solar-pow-
ered generating systems, with
capacities of 100 kilowatts or
less.
- For such customers, a utili-
ty must make available a pro-
gram for "net metering," avail-
able if the applications for a
program come from custom-
ers who consume 1 percent
or more of Ihe utility's power
during a peak service hour
- In such a program, a utili-
ty must measure how much
power a customer uses against
how much power that cus-
tomer's solar- powered system
generates If the net figure is
positive, that's what the utili-
ty would bill the customer for,
If it's negative. Ihe customer
would receive a credit equal to
1 5 limes the cosl of the fuel
not used by the utility.
ELECTRIC COOPERATIVES
- Any member-owned compa
ny selling electricity to retail or
whole-sale customers could
exempt itself from state reg-
ulation of its rates, unless its
customers file a petition with
ihe KCC The exemption must
be approved by a cooperative's
members
STUDY COMMISION
- A 12-member Kansas En-
ergy Science and Technology
Commission would be estab-
lished
Its members would include
the chairmen of the House
and Senate utilities commit-
uts the environment divi
sion director for the Depart-
ment of Health and Environ-
ment and Ihe executive direc-
tor of the Kansas Health Poli-
CJ \ulhonly
- 1'lie governor would appoint

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
LJTTLE ROCK, Ark
- Some of the thousands of
trailers sitting unused since
they were purchased by the
Federal Emergency Man
agement Agency in 2005 for
Gulf Coast hurricane victims
might finally be put to use -
to help victims of last week's
tornadoes, officials said Tues-
day.
Some members of Con-
gress have accused FEMA of
playing down the danger of
possible formaldehyde con-
tamination in the trailers -
7,200 of them stored at the
Hope airport - but an agency
spokesman said Tuesday the
trailers are safe.
The decision to use some
of the trailers for Arkansas
and Tennessee twister victims
comes after requests by state
officials and members of Ar-
kansas' congressional delega-
tion, who have criticized the
trailers in the past as a sign of
federal ineptitude after hurri-
canes Katrina and Rita.
David Maxwell, head of
the Arkansas Department
of Emergency Management,
said his office told FEMA
immediately after the torna-
does the victims would need
some of the trailers FEMA
administrator K. David Pau-
lison said Friday on a tour
of the damage that the agen-
cy would prefer putting storm
victims in rental proper-
ty, though he acknowledged
that could be difficult in rural
communities.
"Knowing rural Arkan-
sas and the areas that were
hit, there's not a lot of rent-
al property," Maxwell said
"Then you're stuck with mo-
bile homes"
Maxwell said the num-
ber of trailers released would
depend on the number of
people that called FEMA and
requested help, as opposed
to simply releasing a blanket
number. He said FEMA al-
ready hired a contractor to
prepare and possibly mm
the trailers to people in neiS,
Tennessee state offkQQi
estimate the tornadoes ftp
strayed 517 homes and ;+>|
mobile homes, and estimaa***
in Arkansas suggest aboul
300 homes were deslruyBt
likely including a number
of manufactured or mob4*
homes.
FEMA spokesman Jamas.
Mclntyre said Tuesday TrtS
agency still hadn't reached
a firm number of how many
mobile homes would be used
from Hope and other storage
sites around the country. He
said the majority of mobile
homes stored at Hope were
unused and in good shape,
with a smalt percentage re-
furbished after being used in
hurricane relief operations,
Mclntyre said Arkansas
and Tennessee would receive
FEMA mobile homes first be*
cause they already were de-
clared federal disaster areas.
He said requests from Ala-
bama and Kentucky were still
pending
After Katrina hit in 2005,
FEMA purchased 25,000
manufactured homes buHT
at a cost of more than $850
million. Many of them went
unused while many hurri-
cane victims remained home-
less. All together, FEMA has
about 75,000 trailers and mo-
bile homes in various luai
lions across the country.
Congress ordered FEMA
lo stop selling or donating the
houses last year after discov-
ering problems with form
aldehyde, but Mclntyre said
FEMA determined its mobile
homes in storage at Hope
were safe to use.
The mobile homes are
about 80 feet long and have
two or three bedrooms.
Mclntyre said
Tornadoes killed 13 peo-
ple in Arkansas on Feb. 5,
with 12 of them along the
path of just one twister Na-
tionally, 59 people died in the
storms across five stales.

POISON | Common animal toxins

soil are so poor, many farm-
ers might have to.
This doesn't necessarily
mean a deficit for all Kansas
farmers
Mike Bellinger, a local
farmer, said the price of ni-
trogen fertilizer - $600 dol
lars a ton - has nut affected
his crop's yield this year. Bell-
inger said the price of grains
has increased along with the
price ol fertilizer, so he is still
able (o make a satisfying prof-
it. But he said he is not con-
fident it will last If the cost
continues to increase and fer-
tilizer prices reach $1,000 a
ton, Bellinger said he might
be in trouble
"We're feeling really
good right now," he said, "but
just for a little while. It never
stays that way."
Mengel said farmers can
utilize items like animal and
industrial waste as an alter
native lo nitrogen fertilizer,
but the demand is current-
ly so high, he said it would
be almost impossible to meet
the needs of all the crops
with waste products
Ms currently just a mat-
ter of low supply and high
demand," said Dale Leikam,
associate professor of agron-
omy. "It's hard to lell exact-
ly what will happen with the
pricing here into the future"
Leikam said he is still
hopeful prices will level off.
"My main advice [to
farmers] would be for them
to contact and stay in con-
stant communication with
their suppliers." he said "If
they have not visited with
their supplier about this
year's needs, they need to do
that probably as quickly as
possible."

rCllglOil, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or

"Like kids," he said, "dogs
are going to get into things;
especially young dogs are in-
clined lo explore and get into
waste baskets and other ar-
eas they probably shouldn't
be. In general, keep any prod
ucts that could be potential-
ly poisonous out of reach. ...
The most important thing
is just recognizing that dogs
and cats are not particularly
bright in knowing what they
should and shouldn't ingest"
According to the Amer-
ican Society for the Preven
lion of Cruelty to Animals
Web site, most animal poison
incidents are induced from
animals consuming items the
owner might not know are
poisonous. Some of the most
common household poi-
sons are alcoholic beverages,
chocolate, coffee, onions, rai-
sins, sail, garlic, yeast dough
and macadam ia nuts

KANSAS STATE COLLEGIAN
WEDNESDAY, FEBRUARY 13, 2008
Coach Knight remembered for championships, fiery temper
By Joe Bergkamp
KANSAS STATE COLLEGIAN
During the last 50 years,
many rituals have come in
and out of style in college bas-
ketball
Whether it was the slam
dunk, the three point line,
shorts that went past mid
high or the insurgence of the
"mid-major conference," Bob
Knight served as a permanent
fixture in the game of basket-
ball. Nicknamed "The Gener
al" by ESPN analyst Dick Vi-
tale, his actions - on and off
the court - generated a love-
hate relationship with basket-
ball fans
Knight's basketball career
began at Ohio Stale University
where he was a reserve player
on a 1960 NCAA champion-
ship squad After his playing
days were over, he became the
head coach for Army at age
25. In just six seasons. Knight
racked up 102 victories before
accepting the same position at
Indiana University
During the next 29 years,
Knight's name became synon-
ymous with the game of bas-
ketball at the collegiate, pro-
fessional and Olympic lev-
el. In his time at Indiana,
Knight's Hoosiers won three
national championships and
are still the last team to ever
finish undefeated (32-0) in a
season, which they did during
the 1975-76 NCAA season.
Knight won a gold medal
in the 1984 Summer Olympics
coaching players like Michael
Jordan and Patrick Ewing.
Knight was also NCAA coach
of the year four times, and Big
Ten Conference Coach of the
Year six times
Much of Knight's coach-
ing career success also was
clouded with controversy.
These incidents have served
as a platform on which
Knight's legacy will always be
placed Anyone who has fol-
lowed college basketball can
easily say that much of what
Knight did in those situations
was wrong, and his actions in
said situations make him hard
to defend What isn't hajd
to defend is his flat-out abil-
ity to coach a basketball team
successfully, to not only win
games, but to run clean pro-
grams with high graduation
rates as well. Here is a lo*k
back on the colorful career of
coach Knight.

Hansbrough vs. Beasley: the battle for player of the year begins
Let the debate begin
North Carolina junior for-
ward Tyler Hansbrough and K-
State fresh-
man forward
Michael Hat
sley - a hypo-
thetical clash
between two
of college
basketball's
titans - is
garnering na-
tional alien- KELLY
tion WILLIAMS
As the
season starts
to wind down, topics like,
"Who's the player of the year?"
and. "Whu I must deserving'"
are thrown into high gear and
plastered all over talk radio,
"ESPN College GameNight"
and other publications.
The following is my best
attempt al starting this argu
meni in a legitimate manner.
Wlto is the bc-st^ 1 Who is
more deserving? I've devel-
oped some criteria of my own,
and bnth players grade high,
but in the end only one can
lake home the "Kelly Williams'
Player of the War Award"
First of all. let's take a
look at the cold, hard statisti-
cal facts. This is one section of
criteria that no matter how you
look at it, it cannot be biased.
As of Monday, Michael Beasley
had competed in 22 games and
Tyler Hansbrough in 24 Bea-
sley currently sits at fourth in
the nation in points per game,
averaging 25 2, while Hans-
brough sits seven spots fur
ther down at No. 11 averag-
ing 22.8 Hansbrough averages
a whopping 10 8 rebounds per
game, giving him sole position
of ninth in the country, while
his worthy adversary Beasley
leads the nation in rebounding
at 12.3 rebounds per game.
When comparing minutes
played per game, field- goal per-
centage and free throw per-
centage, they all check out to
be pretty even between the two.
Beasley takes the cake with a
higher field-goal percentage
while Hansbrough shoots bet-
ter from the line and plays two
more minutes per game. So far,
there are no glaring differences
in any statistics that could de-
cisively claim one of these two
better than the other
But, the edge in this cate-
gory does have to go to Beas-
ley. Whenever a player is able
to set the school record and
most likely the eventual na-
tional freshman mark in dou-
ble doubles, a certain go-ahead
nod has to be given. 1 know
Hansbrough's averaging a dou-
ble-double a game too. but for
Beasley to do it as freshman
with (he weight of the K-Stale
basketball world on his shoul-
ders is just amazing
The next category in my
evaluation process revolves
around the teams that these
two men have played through-
out the year Both Hansbrough
and Beasley experienced sol-
id nonconference opponents,
and compete in two of college's
best power conferences. Im-
mediately, this part of the crite-
ria screams at me to declare a
push But, the "Kelly Williams
Player of ihe Year Award" can-
not be decided that easily
By taking a closer look,
one can see Hansbrough has
helped his team defeat non-
conference foes Davidson,
BYU, Ohio State and Ken-
tucky. In addition, North Car-
olina - under Hansbrough's
leadership - started the sea-
son off 18-0 before suffering
its first loss to Maryland, in
what is always a tough Atlantic
Coast Conference slate. Beas-
ley, on the other hand, can only
claim a solid out-of-conference
win against California, and a
non -comparable M-4 record
through 18 games
The best win, though,
by either team lies with Mi-
chael Beasley The Wildcats,
by knocking off the then-unde-
feated and No. 2- ranked Kan-
sas (ayhawks, clearly had a bet-
ter premiere win, while Han-
sbrough and North Caroli-
na blew its chance by losing
to Duke It's still not enough
though, as Beasley has not
faced and succeeded against
tougher competition through-
out the year. Hansbrough has
the edge in this one because
of the amount of overall wins
and better out-of-conference
record, all while facing just as
much defensive pressure dur-
ing league play as his opponent
Beasley.
The final criteria I have
developed acknowledges
what these players mean to
their teams. It is the value fac-
tor: which player weighs more
heavily on his team's ability to
win a ballgame and succeed in
college basketball
Hansbrough is the driv-
ing force behind the Roy Wil-
liams-led Tar Heels. "Psycho-T"
as North Carolina fans like to
call him, is arguably one of the
hardest working, most fear-
less, low-post scoring masters
this game has seen in a long
time. Hansbrough draws dou-
ble teams at the low block like
Roy Williams draws in recruits
and still manages to score at
will North Carolina would not
have won two overtime games
against CI em son if it wasn't for
Hansbrough, and they definite-
ly wouldn't be in the top five, if
it wasn't for his constant defen-
sive and rebounding presence.
Beasley b seen by many
as the basketball messiah of K-
Stale. "The Beaz" was a high
school basketball prodigy who
wound up being the freshman
who returned the Wildcats to
national basketball relevance
in one season. It is easy to say
that without Beasley, the Wild
cats would be fighting to stay
above a losing record in Big
12 Conference play, and po*
sibly outside the bubble pic-
ture of the NCAA Tournament
Beasley also had a large part in
the win against Kansas, help-
ing end one of the more embar
rassing streaks in all of college
athletics
So, who wins in the value
department? I have to go with
Michael Beasley Without him.
K- St ate would still be struggUrLi
to succeed against superior
competition The Tar Heels, on
the other hand, would still havi
enough surrounding talent, tfB
dilion and proven coaching ■
ability to challenge for the Aflfc
title and make the NCAA Tout
nament, even without Hans-
brough Michael Beasley is the
greater asset to his team, and
it becomes clear when looking
at where the Wildcats current-
ly sit in the national basketbaU
landscape.
There you have it: the in-
augural winner of the "Kel-
ly Williams' Player of the Year
Award" (if it ended today)

K-State players look
only Big 12 loss to
to avenge
Missouri
By Joel Aschbrenner
r- I KANSAS STATl COLLEGIAN
i
After falling to Missouri
fi7-W, in Columbia. Mo., in a
game K- State led by 15 points
tn the first half, the Wildcats
are set on making sure the
game ends differently when
the Tigers come to Manhat-
tan on Saturday.
Freshman forward Mi-
chael Beasley said learn mem
bers were not satisfied with
their performance the last
time they faced the Tigers,
who were short three players
because of suspension He
said the Wildcats have to im-
prove their play and protect
their home court
"We want to win, obvi-
ously," Beasley said, "They
beat us, and we had a big lead
And we don't want to lose at
home, I don't think anybody
wants to lose at home That's
just not acceptable"
Beasley managed 17
■oMs against Missouri in the
lait'ontesl eight points less
LwQ his season average
-Freshman forward Bill
Valjcr, who averages aiimisi
Dints per game, also was
'below his season aver-
kcoring 11.
J«he Wildcats also strug-
f(ed from the line, only con-
verting 10 of 20 free throws
Beasley said the team is com
pletely focused on its game at
Texas Tech tonight, but once
it is time for the team to pre-
pare for Missouri, there will
be extra motivation to avenge
the loss in Columbia.
Freshman Jacob Pullcn
also said the Wildcats need
to protect their home-court
advantage
He said the loss at Mis-
souri was disheartening and
to win in Manhattan, the
learn will have to do a better
job at preserving leads.
"We lost last time, so we
still have that on our con-
science," Pullen said "You
know, we shouldn't have lost
that game, so coming in this
Saturday we're going to be
more focused and try not to
let the lead slip."
During the loss in Co-
lumbia, the Wildcats held a
15 point lead in the first half
and entered half time with a
10-point lead K State's lead
(.limbed to 14 points with 15
minutes left in the second
half
However, the Wildcats'
lead slowly dissipated as
they were outscored 30-43
in the second half, until the
Tigers look their first lead of
the game with 203 left. The
Wildcats never were able to
regain the lead.
To improve their play
against the Tigers, Pullen said
the team needs to penetrate
the zone better and gel Bea-
sley and Walker more touch-
es down in the post In the
loss, Beasley attempted 12
shots, and Walker attempt-
ed just eight On the season,
they average 16 and 12 shots
per game, respectively.
The Wildcats did have
some success down low
against the Tigers in the last
contest, scoring 38 points in
the paint
Pullen said the loss in
Columbia was shocking, bul
it was a good wake-up call
for the team
"1 feel like we should
still be undefeated in confer-
ence," Pullen said "But since
we took that loss, il helped us
out Now we are doing well,
were just playing even bet-
ter"
For Beasley. the game is
simply a matter of not letting
another team win in Bram
lage Coliseum, something the
Wildcats have not done since
they fell to No. 17 Oregon in
overtime 80-77 on Nov. 11,
2007
Beasley said he does not
care if he is playing one of the
top teams in the Big 12 Con
ference or the middle school
down the street - he doesn't
want to let anyone come into
Bramlage and win
"We have to protect the
home," Beasley said. "This is
our domain; we can't just lei
anybody take it from us."

WILLIAMS I Beasley deserves nod over Hansbrough, should win National P0Y award
Continued rtom Pjge 1
is indeed Michael Beasley by a
score of Iwo to one
1 know what you are thinking,
though, "Kelly, you're a K- State
fan, of course you're going to give
it to Beasley!" I know, and I would
think the same thing of a North
Carolina fan But. when you look
i hiM-ly and watch these two play-
ers perform regularly. Michael Bea
sley does not win just because of
all the above reasons, but also be-
cause he is a more versatile and
polished scorer than Tyler Hans
brough
He plays hard, and just has
u magnetizing effect on the ball
when he wishes to rebound it Both
have the intangibles, but Beasley
just has more
Although (he first award has
been given out to Beasley, Hans-
brough still has the remainder of
the season to improve his player of
the year resume
With one more guaranteed
game against Duke, and then an-
other possible match up with them
in the ACC tourney, better things
are still to come from "Psycho-T."
Beasley, on the other hand, also
has huge games against Kansas and
Texas on the docket, with the Big
12 tourney down the road in Kan-
sas City.
The real player of the year
award picture could clear up in the
upcoming weeks, or continue to be
just as hazy and cloudy as it is right
now.
No matter what the decision
though from the real critics, this
fan and writer will be content with
either player taking home the hon-
ors
They are both extremely de-
serving of the award, and equally
enjoyable to watch play basketball
Hopefully, the two get to match up
in the NCAA Tournament this year,
and we can settle this debate the
only way 1 really know how to, on
the court

Dozens of K-State stu-

rows of identical wood-
en desks in a graduate
studies classroom, each listening
intently to the lecturing psycholo-
gy professor. One student, blend-
ing in with his fellow classmates, is
discreet, trying not to draw atten-

Andrew Wefald, graduate stu-
dent in industrial and organiza-
tional psychology and visiting as
sistanl professor of educational
leadership, said he almost never
advertises that he is K-State Presi-

likes people who appreciate him
lor who he is and not for who his

"Sometimes it can be strange
meeting certain people when
they are going to figure out who 1

I don't feel that I receive special
treatment because I'm the presi-

pressure to do good work because
of who I am - it makes me work
harder"
Though he uses his family's
status at the university as moti-
vation to succeed in his gradu-

not feel any pressure to attend
K-State for his undergraduate de-

Union Station closes after Starbucks loss, drop in sales
By Monica Castro
KANSAS SHtlBCOUSGttX
The Union Station Cafe.
located on the first floor of the
K-State Student Union, will
close its doors hnday because
of low sales
Ed Coan, campus mar-
keting manager for Chartwells
Dining, said the Union Station
food operations will close but
the area will remain as a slu
dent lounge lor studying, relax-
ing and eating
"A big reason why it is
nig is due lo the location
The food court is on the sec-
ond floor and has everything,"
Coan said. "There was not
enough traffic and awareness
of it."
Union Station offered a
soup, salad and potato bar
menu since August 2007 but
has served different types of
food for years.
After Union Station clos-
es, employees working there
will rotate into other restau
rants in the food court or the
Bookend Cafe, located in Hale
Library, he said.
Union Station provided
students with the same food
items that could be purchased
in the food court, so sludenls
are nut at a loss with options
of food choices, Coan said
the kitchen and food op-
eration systems in Union Sta-
tion will not be removed and
instead will be kept for possi-
ble future renovations and use.
Tina Griffin, food ser-
vice director for the Union,
said Caribou Coffee, Blue
mont Buffet and the food court
tuuk business from the services
Union Station provided. She
said many people usually bring
in their own food and go there
to study.
Before Caribou Coffee
opened last fall, Union Station
served Starbucks coffee. This
fall, Starbucks moved to the
Bookend Cafe Sales at Union
Station have decreased since
the traffic went there. Griffin
said,
"Over the year, there has
never been a high -volume op-
eration, and it is kind of forgot-
ten.' Griffin said
She said she thinks the
parking garage is also a reason
sales might have been affect-
ed.
"After the parking garage
is complete, we will possibly
look at venues, but as for now,
we feel it's best to close," she
said.
Mart Castro | iouk.ian
The Union Station Cafe, located on the main floor of the K State Student Union, will close Friday because
of low sales. The area will remain open as a study lounge.
Aliie Moore, senior in bi-
ology, said she was disappoint-
ed that Union Station will close
but is glad the area will remain
a place to study
"It is a nice atmosphere
down here; it is less busy, and
you were served faster down
here," Moore said.
She said since the same
cuisine is served upstairs, it
will nol be a loss
Stacy Pyeatt, sophomore
in pre-professional business
administration, said she likes
io utilize the Union for study
ing because it is a quiet place.
She said the closing of
Union Station's food offering
will not bother her because she-
still will study there every day

Lafene offers
another
option for
birth control
By Yvonne Ramirez
KANSAS STATS C01 ih.ian
Planning parenthood is
becoming more convenient
with a new birth control meth-
od called Implanon, an option
that lasts up to three years and
is available at Lafene Health
Center
Implanon is a plastic rod
placed in a woman's arm
cording to Implanon's Web
site. wwww.imptutum-usa.
com.
According to the Web site,
Implanon works by preveni
ing the ovary from releasing
eggs as well as changing mu-
cus found in the cervix This
can preveni the egg from he
ing fertilized and is more than
99 percent effective.
"The chance of fitting
pregnant is less than one preg-
nancy per 100 women who use
Implanon lor one year when
Implanon is mscrled correcl-
ly," said Theresa Doyle, health
educator at Lafene
"Because Implanon is ef-
fective for three years, it does
not require the woman to re-
member to take a daily pill."
Doyle said "Some women
prefer Implanon because ol

Radio station giving away free divorce, warns contestants it is real
CHARLESTON, WVa - A Charles-
ton radio station is observing Valentine's Day
with a reminder that, Cupid sometimes misses
his mark.
WKLC FM, better known as Rock 105. is
giving away a free divorce
Valentine's Day isn't all hearts and Dow-
ers, said WKLC Program Director Jay Nunley
There is a darker side, he said, "where maybe
you despise your spouse and resent the entire
day-
Through 4 p.m on Valentine's Day. ap-
plications for the free divorce will be accept-
ed on the classic rock station's Web site, www
whlc.com The winning name will be drawn at
5 p.m.
Nunley cautions that this is a real divorce
and people shouldn't enter if they aren't scri
ous.
Also, people expecting a long, drawn-out
legal battle should hire a lawyer because the
Rock 105 contest is for a relatively uncom-
plicated di-
vorce.
Charles-
ton attorney
Rusty Webb will
handle the actual filing.
"Sure we can give away concert tick-
ets, and we do," Nunley said. "That's going to
make you happy for a little while. This is the
chance to make someone happy for the rest of

BOStOn man receives postcard from 1929
Funeral horses stampede, overturn hearse
BOSTON - The message
on the postcard to a "Miss Mar-
garet McDonald" was short Its
path to the intended address was
much longer. Nearly 79 years af-
ter it was sent, a postcard of Yel-
lowstone National Park's Tower
Falls arrived in a Boston mailbox
recently with the one-word mes-
sage, "Greetings"
Its intended recipient had
long since left the Victorian
house on Sparhawk Street, and
the sender was not identified by
name.
Michael Cioffi was shocked
to find the card dated |une 1929
in his mail. He says the Me Don
aid family did own his house for
generations, but he doesn't think
there is anyone left in the family
to pass the postcard to.
A U.S. Postal Service spokes
man says it's impossible to know
what happened with the card It
somehow got into the mail and
was sent with a one cent stamp
from Seattle earlier this year
LONDON - A hearse over
turned when the horses pulling
it to a south London cemetery
stampeded, dragging the carriage
and coffin past appalled relatives
and sending floral tributes fly-
ing
"It was dreadful," a mourn-
er told the South London Press
"The horses dragged the carriage
to the cemetery on its side, toss-
ing the coffin all over the pbtOC
and destroying all the flowers in
side.
"Some people got very angry
and had to be restrained by oth-
er mourners . It is understand
able given the circumstances I'm
horrified that something like this
could happen"
Police were called to calm
angry mourners so that the fu-
neral last month could go ahead.
The carriage appeared to
have clipped a mini-roundabout
as it entered Lambeth Cemetery
for the funeral, the local council,
which administers the graveyard,

Speaker, workshop promote use
of nonviolent communication
By Deborah Muhwczi
Kansas state i OUBGUN
Self-realization is the key
to peaceful and productive re
lationships, said Molly Traffas,
the speaker at the "Let's Talk
it ( >ul" workshop that was part
of the campaign for nonvio-
lence
Traffas, a licensed clinical
social worker, promoted com-
passionate communication in
relationships The Women's
Center's student activist group
ACTION and Alpha Phi Alpha
Fraternity, Inc., sponsored the
lecture and workshop titled
"Let's Talk it Out"
Leaders with the inter
active relationship workshop
gave the audience advice on
different communication situa-
tions including learning skills,
personal development, inti-
mate relationships and even
employee- lo-employer com-
munication.
Summer Allen, second
year student assistant of the
Women's Center and coordi-
nator of the event, said she
thought there was a need for
the campus to have a work
shop introducing nonviolent
communication and the skills
that are necessary to achieve
that
"We basically felt like
there was a need just because
we'd rather he proactive than
reactive in nonviolent commu-
nication," she said
Careem Gladney, presi-
dent of the Kappa Tau chapter
of Alpha Phi Alpha, said the
workshop was a good opportu-
nity for his organization to get
involved with new outlets.
"We always want to stay
open to other opportunities,
lie said "The Women's Center
is a great organization, and we
thought it would be a greai op-
portunity"
Gladney, a senior in busi-
ness finance, said he wanted to
use the event to encourage the
importance of effective com
municatiun and would likestu-

in their choices and behaviors
"You don'l always have
to follow the crowd," he said
"Definitely look within your-
seli j nd decide what is right
and not always what is com
mon."
Kyrie Graves, senior in
family studies and human ser
vices, said she decided to at-
tend the event because she
wanted to learn more about
being an effective listener and
communicator in relation-
ships.
Graves was one of the
many audience members who
came to gain tips for her own
personal situations.
"Being able to communi-
cate and listen effectively is im-
portant for everyone in their
daily life," Graves said "The
ability to express your ideol-
ogies or wants and goals in a
non threatening way, is a good
way to be viewed as an effec-
tive communicator and listen
er."

Lock it up
Stricter gun control needed to decrease school shootings
THURSDAY, FEBRUARY 14, 2008
On Feb 11, there
was yet another school
shooting in a U.S. high
school.
It wasn't the first
one of the year or
even of the month,
[and it certainly won't
be the last According
to a study by the National
School Safety Center, we can ex-
pect hundreds more before the end
of the year
Why. then, are people so resis-
tant to the idea of gun control?
Many people expected last year's
shooting at Virginia Tech to trigger
immediate gun-control legislation,
but unfortunately, that was not the
case
Rep Michael Capuano of Mas-
sachusetts summed up the reason-
ng behind this lack of action when
he said tackling gun control is "just
not worth it" in an interview with the
Boston Globe on April 23, 2007 He
also said while he would ideally like
to support stricter gun -control policy,
fighting a losing battle on such a divi-
sive issue would be political suicide.
But that doesn't mean the bat-
tle shouldn't be fought. Some of this
country's greatest social changes
were made only after long and ardu
JESSICA
HENSLEY
ous struggles. Activists lost their lives
in the fight for women's suffrage and
civil rights. It look a civil war to end
slavery. Change in a
democracy is never
easy, but it is some-
thing we must fight
for.
The last time
the Democrats held
a majority in Con-
gress, they made
some headway on
gun control In
1994 they passed a
federal ban on the
sale of semi-auto-
matic assault weep
ons, but this ban expired in 2004 un-
der a Republican Congressional ma-
jority Now that the Democrats once
again have control of Congress, they
should begin pushing for stricter gun-
control laws
While no amount of legislation
or foresight could ever completely
prevent a tragedy like the one at Vir
ginia Tech last April or the one in
Tennessee on Monday, more effective
gun-control laws could at the very
least make such events more difficult
to execute
Background checks should be
more thorough for purchasing guns.
There should be stricter limitations
on the types of weapons that are
made available to the public. Such
legislation might seem draconian, but
it is necessary.
According to a study by the U.S.
Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco and
Firearms, the vast majority of guns
used in deadly crimes during the last
decade were purchased legally
Many conservatives might see
gun control laws as irrational and re-
actionary - an extreme overreaction
by the bleeding-heart liberals, and
many more will cite the Constitution
and their Second Amendment right
to bear arms
But tougher gun-control laws are
necessary, even if they are reaction-
ary, and the Constitution occasional-
ly can use a revision
The law of the land must be
adapted to address the issues soci-
ety faces, and when so many citizens
lose their lives because of gun vio-
lence every year, it is more than our
right - it is our responsibility - to re-
spond.

Real life not game about winning, money
MARK
WAMPIER
My friends and 1 have found a new love for
the game of "Life" For those who are unaware
of the "Life" board game phenomenon, you
have two options at the
beginning of the game You
can begin your "life" by
going to college, or by going
straight into the business
world If you go to college.
you immediately acquire
$100,000 in debt (the game
does a good job of reflect-
ing real life), but you have
a greater chance of making
a bigger salary once you're
finished
I always struggle at the
beginning of each game
as to which way 1 should take my "life." Do 1
want to marry that little pink stick? Do I go
to college for the prospect of making more
money, or do 1 start working and make money
right away, debt- free?
College - in real life - is a special time
There are so many decisions to make, so many
people to meet and so much to do. Because
of all these opportunities, I am tired of people
telling me what it is like in the real world.
What do they mean?
All my college experiences tell me that I
am in the midst of real life. All my decisions
and joys, and all my interactions and pains
are more than some passing phase They are
very real and are constantly shaping me into
the kind of person I am Life after college will
be different, and there will be more rcspunsi
bilities, but if you wait to start your life in the
"real world," you'll never start
I'm getting married in a couple months, and
I am not going to make money by spinning a
wheel in the middle of a board I am not really
sure what I am going to be doing next year
when I graduate, but I am re-evaluating what a
"career" looks like
I like the idea of people having vocations
rather than careers. The Merriam-Websler
dictionary defines a vocation as "a summons
or strong inclination to a particular state or
course of action" and a career as "a profession
for which one trains." The difference between
the definitions is subtle, but I think it makes
all the difference in life. A person will be so
much better if he or she feels strongly inclined
to do something, rather than simply just train
ing to make money.
We see this idea play out in everyday life all
the time 11 is obvious when people like their
job. and it is equally obvious when (hey don't,
whether it is the sacker at Dillon's or the
professor of an II 30 am class Dealing with
people who love their jobs is a much more
enjoyable experience than dealing with those
who don't.
The only thing that bums me out in _
the board game "Life"
(other than having
a wife that is a little
pink slick) is that the
winner of the game is
the person who comes
out with the most
money. Many people
think that about real
life loo, but that's not
always the case People
shouldn't
get caught
up in all
the expec-
tations of a
prestigious and
high-paying
job
Expecta-
tions placed on
a person from
parents, teachers
and even friends
can be paralyz-
ing.
Carleton Kendrick, a doctor who has con-
ducted parenting seminars for more than 20
years, said, "Parents who make unrealistic de-
mands and/or have unrealistic expectations of
their kids academically, or in any other sphere
of their lives, risk seeing their kids' mental,
emotional and physical well-being severely
compromised."
Tell your parents and teachers to chill. The
people who love what they do are the people
who have fun and do their jobs really, really
well Attitudes like that change the world.

Drama therapy majors provide treatment through acting
By Whitney Noe
KANSAS STATE COLLEGIAN
An elderly man is lying
in his bed, staring aimless-
ly at the ceiling in his room
at the Meadowlark Hills Re-
tirement Center His short
term memory is fading, and
his long-term memory is long
gone He is a victim of Al-
zheimer's.
A nurse walks into his
room, and she announces
that he must get up and see
the excitement taking place
in the lobby As they reach
the lobby, seven college stu-
dent performers greet him
and the other Meadowlark
Hills residents
Meadowlark Hills is fust
one of many facilities that
use company and the "heal-
ing power" of drama thera-
py majors like the seven col-
lege students Drama therapy
is defined as a type of psycho-
therapy that encourages pa
tients to use dramatic tech-
niques to deal with emotion-
al and psychological prob-
lems.
K- State is one of the
few universities in the Unit-
ed States that offers drama
therapy as a major. In fact,
K- State is the only school in
the United States to allow
students to study theater and
drama therapy simultaneous-
ly at the graduate level.
Brant Wadsworth, grad-
uate student in drama ther-
apy, said he came to K State
for that reason. "There are
two other drama therapy pro-
grams in the United States,"
Wadsworth said, "but they're
just drama therapy; they
don't have theater training
and t wanted to do both, so
it made my decision rather
easy."
Hailey Gillespie, gradu
ale student in drama thera-
py, said she had never been
exposed to much theater and
didn't know about K- State's
drama therapy program until
she took a class called Drama
Therapy with Special Popula
tions.
"The class really focused
on the healing elements of
drama with people with spe-
cial needs, and 1 enjoyed it so
much," Gillespie said.
It was soon after that she
found out about the alter
native career opportunity at
K State, she said.
"When I learned about
drama therapy as a ma-
jor, I wanted to do it more,"
Gillespie said "It is such a
healing and expressive art
that there was no doubt in
my mind that there was titer
apeutic value to it."
The drama therapy pro-
gram was officially organized
in 1979, but few students
know about it.
There are only seven stu
dents active in the major, but
they said they find it worth-
while and enlightening
For more information about
the drama therapy major or
the Creative Arts Therapy Stu-
dents, contact Hailey Gillespie
at nitfy&ksu.eda
"A lot of times people are
drawn in by expressive arts
because it's so much more
dynamic and much more
creative than the sitting and
talking type of therapies,"
Wadsworth said "It is a reju-
venating experience, not just
for the patients but for the
therapists as well. Not a lot
of people know about it, to
they end up going into other
fields"
To fulfill requirements in
this field of study, students
are obligated to complete a
certain number of internship
hours that provide different
experiences in drama ther-
apy These internships can
range from working at a men-
tal hospital to teaching spe-
cial-needs children or par-
ticipating with a recreational
team in a group home.
Renee Saltzman, gradu-
ate student in drama thera-
py, said she works with ele-
mentary school students who
are speaking out for the chil-
dren of military parents who
have been deployed to Iraq.
She said she uses her drama
therapy skills to help chil-
dren cope with their situa-
tions and give them a better

outlook on life.
"What this program does
is that it teaches us how to
facilitate a lot of the healing
aspects of the arts with tech-
niques based in drama or cre-
ativity," Gillepsie said.
"We do internships to
help us utilize information
we've learned in our class-
es, like how to focus in on
the healing power of the pro-
cess of creating or the pro-
cess of performing theater
or doing creative works It's
not just focused on the prod-

or a painting or a show - but
it's about getting your hands

Filling the gaps
Nelson could help Chiefs' struggling receiving corp
MIKE

With the NFL scouting com-
bine leu than a week away, I
am beginning to wonder which
college play-
ers the Kan-
sas City Chiefs
have their eyes
on as poten-
tial members of
their 2008 draft
class
The pi ay en
participating
in the camp go
through various
drills like the
40-yard dash,
vertical jump,
broad jump and 60-yard shuttle.
Three K- State football play-
ers-wide receiver Jordy Nelson,
comerback Justin McKinney and
punier Tim Reyer - have been in
viied to participate in the com-
bine
The Chiefs are rumored to
be fond of Nelson, but though
they're close to his home, history
(ells us it isn't a good situation to
be in
I am a huge Chiefs fan, but 1
remember the last time they draft-
ed a stud Wildcat receiver. It was
1997, and his name was Kevin
Lockett
Marty Schottenheimer (ell in
love with the Tulsa, Okla , native
and selected him in the second
round of the draft. He was a good
player for the Chiefs, but his time
in Arrowhead Stadium was wast

hands and skill, and Kansas City
knew it The only downside was

Wide receiver Jordy Nation runs for a score against Texas on Sept. 29. 2007. Nelson is projected as a high -round draft
pick in the upcoming NFL Draft and will participate in a Kansas City Chiefs scouting camp before the draft
have a job playing football any-
more.
I'm pretty sure Nelson
doesn't want that type of pro ca-
reer
The Chiefs have huge needs
to fill in the offseason, and there
are several other intriguing play-
ers Kansas City might have its eye
on in Indianapolis
The biggest hole on the Kan-
sas City team is its offensive line
The Chiefs' offensive line play
was brutal on the team's own
quarterback last season, giving
up 55 sacks to opposing teams
One of the best offensive line
prospects in the draft is Michi-
gan tackle )ake Long At 6-foo(-7
and 315 pounds. Long would be
an immediate starter on the left
or right side of the line for the
Chiefs.
The second round pick
leaves the Chiefs with a lot of op-
tions. The first question: Is Brodie
Croyle the real deal at quarter-
back? tf not. 1 would really like to
see Kansas City take a chance on
another player from Michigan -
quarterback Chad Henne. Henne
had a very successful career for
the Wolverines and capped it off
with a win over defending nation-
al champs Florida in the Capital
One Bowl. If Croyle is the answer
at signal -caller, then the next glar-
ing need is a ball-hawking cor-
nerback since Ty Law and Patrick
Surtain are getting older Patrick
Lm "f Auburn would be a nice fit
for Kansas City as he is a phys-
ical corner who can handle the
Chiefs' defensive schemes
The third biggest need to fill
this offseason is once again a( the
wide receiver position With Ed-
die Kennison coming to the end
of his career and Sarnie Park-
er not blossoming, the Chiefs
have to help Tony Gonzalez and
Dwayne Bowe
Is this where Nelson comes
in? If so, let's hope he's utilized
better than Lockett

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
KANSAS CITY, Mo
- Kansas activities officials
are investigating a religious
school's refusal to let a fe-
male referee call a boys' high
school basketball game.
The Kansas State High
School Activities Associa-
tion said referees reported
that Michelle Campbell was
preparing to officiate at St
Mary's Academy near Tope-
ka on Feb. 2 when a school
official insisted that Camp-
bell could not call the game
The reason given, ac-
cording to the referees:
Campbell, as a woman, could
not be put in a position of au
thority over boys because of
the academy's beliefs
Campbell then walked
off the court along with Darin
Putthoff, the referee who was
to work the game with her
"1 said. 'If Michelle has to
leave, then I'm leaving with
her. 1 " Putthoff said Wednes
day. "I was disappointed that
it happened to Michelle I've
never heard of anything like
that."
Fred Shockey, who was
getting ready to leave the gym
after officiating two junior
high games, said he was told
there had been an emergency
and was asked to stay and of-
ficiate two more games
"When I found out what
the emergency was, 1 said
there was no way I was going

Shockey noted that ref-
erees normally don't work

agreed to officiate because
his daughter's basketball

canceled.

Anthropology professor's experiences unlike crime TV shows
By K rut in Hodges
KANSAS STATE COLLEtilAN
Mike Finnegan lives in
the real world While he often
is called to identify a person 'i
age, race, gender and cause of
death from a stock of bones, he
doesn't stomp around crime
scenes in a neatly pressed suit
or jump from case to case suc-
cessfully.
Finnegan, professor of
anthropology, is a forensic
anthropologist, but he said
his life is nothing like what
is portrayed on shows like
"CSI" and "Law and Order."
"What people see on
CSI,' they're doing something
exciting all the time," he said.
"If we worked that hard, we'd
be dead in six weeks Ninety
percent is pushing paper, and
10 percent is the really excit-
ing part that makes all the pa-
per pushing worthwhile "
When he isn't called
to help excavate bones at a
crime scene or identify a skel-
eton, which he said amounts
to an average of 35-40 cases
a year for states he has a con-
tract with, Finnegan said he
enjoys teaching.
"I came here primarily
because of the faculty in an-
thropology, which is excep-
tional," he said "K-State ei-
ther has more of its fair share
of good students, or maybe
the excellent faculty brings
out the good student"
Finnegan came to K-State
in 1973 and has since taught
classes like physical anthro-
pology, which he described
as the study of biology of hu-
mans and their interactions
with other humans in a cul-
tural context, and osteology,
which is the study of bones.
Finnegan said students
who are interested in foren
sic anthropology often do not
realize there is a lot of math
involved in the work They
sometimes think the job is
like what they see on televi-
sion
"They don't see the Tyvek
suits that are proof everything
- when you're sweating to
death," Finnegan said while
laughing. "Safety is a big con-
cern in a crime scene. And
when you look at the bright,
fluorescent lights, they're not
the sexy blue lights of CSI.'
"Hell, even I'd look good
if the lights were blue and
sexy enough"
When he's not in the
classroom or helping with a
case. Finnegan likes to attend
art performances or go hunt-
ing He considers 400-meter
range shooting to be his spe-
cialty.
When he is traveling in
areas like the Middle East
and Eastern Europe, where
he also does anthropology
work, he likes to read Brit-
ish literature or fiction that
features forensic anthropol-
ogists. He even has been ac-
knowledged for helping with
details in some of the fiction
al work.
Finnegan studied engi-
neering in college at the Uni-
versity of Colorado. After
working as an engineer and
spending time in the Navy,
he returned to school and en-
rolled in a physical anthropol-
ogy course Later he took a
cultural anthropology course
and was intrigued, eventually
entering graduate school.
"As a graduate student
in anthropology, 1 was real-
ly more interested in physiol-
ogy and adaptation," he said.
"Then I had a seminar in os-
teology. There was a 178-page
book that had 15 chapters by
different people with what
you can do with bones.
"I started reading that
book a couple of days before
the first seminar meeting, and
I read the whole book in one
setting. It was fascinating, and
1 thought, l can do this' So 1
did"
Since then Finnegan has
conducted research on sev-
en continents and excavat-
ed on five, according to his
K State biography He said he
has been in high-profile cases,
though he considers all of the
cases to be important because
the remains he must identify
mean something to the vic-
tim's family
Finnegan said he is usu-
ally anonymous in the inves-
tigation process, but his job is
rewarding and exciting when
he identifies someone and the
family calls to thank him.
"Teaching is rewarding
in little parts on a daily basis,
but this Is rewarding once a
year or once every other year
when someone Happens to

thing for them," he said, "and

Walk Kansas promotes state citizens
to improve health through exercise
By Yvonne Ramirez
kANSAS STATE COLLEGIAN
Promoting a healthy life
style is the main goal of Walk
Kansas.
Walk Kansas, an organiza-
tion that is a part of K-Slate's
university research and ex-
tension of health and fitness
program, encourages partic-
ipants to walk the equivalent
of 423 miles and be mindful
of healthy living The distance
from Kansas' east border to its
west border is 423 miles.
"The goal of this program
is to gel people to become
more active," said Ginny Bar-
nard, Walk Kansas coordina-
tor for Riley County
These 423 miles can be
done through biking, walking.
swimming or a combination of
multiple activities to complete
the miles Even gardening.
weight lilting and any types of
physical activity can fulfill the
requirement toward the miles
Sharolyn Jackson, slate
coordinator of Walk Kansas,
said the registration deadline
for each county is different.
However, most counties will
take registrations until March
7. The fee also varies from
county to county but is about
$5 throughout the state Par-
ticipants receive a T-shirt, and
attend a celebration after com-
pletion of the program.
The program consists of
teams of six. with the members
of the team completing a total
of 423 miles during an eight-
week period. Each team has a
captain who records the team
members' miles each week and
then turns them ink) the coun-
ty office. This also can be done

Walk Kansas is open to
everyone through K-State Re-
search and Extension Most
counties in Kansas participate
in this program. This year 101
out of 105 counties arc partic-
ipating in Walk Kansas
"The majority of partici-
pants are between 30-50 years
old, but we do have quite a
few college students," Bar-
nard said "Last year, more
college students than normal
participated, and the number
for both college students and
community members involved
in the organization grows each

TO THE EDITOR
Research director aims to clarify stance
in 'Big Tobacco' Collegian column
Editor,
I am writing in regard to
Joe Vossen's opinion piece
"Colleges should accept
money donated by Big To-
bacco"
1 agree with its main
point, and my quotations
were accurately and fairly
used, but Mr. Vossen used
only my comments direct-
ly relevant to his conclusion
that university administra-
tions should not ban such
funding.
I expressed several oth-
er opinions that I would like
to share
I made clear that 1 am
personally negative about
such funding, and that nei
ther the Johnson Cancer
Center nor (to the best of
my knowledge) its affiliated
scientists have ever accept-
ed awards from big tobacco.
1 also noted that the
cancer center had indeed
been offered such funding in
another context - to orga
nize a symposium on cam-
pus under our name
It would have provid-
ed them an opportunity to
choose speakers who were
sympathetic to their at-
tempts to manipulate public
opinion.
About JO percent of
cancer deaths are because
of the use of tobacco prod-
ucts, and part of our mission
involves promoting public
awareness of these dangers
We immediately refused
their offer.

REPRINT CONTROVERSIAL
MUHAMMAD CARTOON
COPENHAGEN, Den
murk - Danish newspapers re-
printed cartoons of the Proph
et Muhammad in a gesture of
solidarity Wednesday after po-
lio; revealed a plot lo kill the
iTiLiinr of the caricature that
iparitd deadly huts in ihe
Muslim world
Danish Muslims said Ihey
would seek lo avoid a repeal
of the violence two years api
- but with a rightwing Dutch
lawmaker planning to air a
movie that omdemns Islam as
LiMist, Europe pondered the
possibility of a new cycle ol
tunuoil
"1 inst don't want to go
through this again,'' said Mo-
hammed Shafiq of the Ra-
madhan Foundation, a Mus-
lim educational group in ton
don Shahq said he has written
a protest letter to the Danish
ambassador in London.
Other Muslim groups
echoed his sentiments, saying
they believed Ihe Danish pa-
pers were seeking unnecessar-
ily to rekindle the fiery debate
over free speech and Islam
that engulfed Europe during
the uproar over the cartoons
in 2006
Some experts said that
discussion never went away -
it just drifted off the editorial
pages of Europe's dailies
"This conflict will remain
lis long as there are people
who believe religion should
have a greater role in society,"
said Magnus Norell, a Middle
East expert at the Swedish De-
fense Research Agency

IRANIAN BODY
REINSTATES SOME
CANDIDATES EARLIER
BANNED FROM RUNNING
IN ELECTIONS
TEHRAN, Iran - Iran's
hard-line constitutional watch-
dog said Wednesday it has re
instated more than 28Qcandi
dates for parliament races next
month, but reformists said
many remain banned and the
move is not enough to ensure
a fair election
The Guardian Council's
reversal came amid growing
criticism by berth reformists
and conservatives that a wide
ban on eligible candidates
would risk a low election turn-
out and undermine the poll-
ing.
The disqualification of re-
formist candidates removed a
big challenge to hardliners vy-
ing for parliament seals. The
elections are seen as a key test
of hard-line President Mah
moud Ahmaduiciad's hold on
power and a harbinger for the
2009 presidential election
Those reinstated include
the grandson of Ayalollah
Ruhollah Khomeini, found
■ of Iran's Islamic republic
Ali Eshraghi had been among
hundreds excluded for alleg-
edly not being loyal enough to
ihe principles of the 1919 Is-
lamic revolution and hard line
interpretations of Islamic rule
But reformists said the re
mslatemenls didn't go far
enough.
"It doesn't change any-
thing. The reversal for reform
ists is too little lo create the
fewest conditions for a free
and fair election," said reform-
ist leader Saeed Shariati
Esm acil Gcrami Moghadd
am, spokesman for the reform-
ist National Confidence Party,
said only 25 of those reinstated
were considered reformers.
WTO CONDEMNS CHINA
FOR FIRST TIME, SIDES
WITH U.S., EU, CANADA
ON AUTO PARTS
GENEVA - The World
Trade Organization on
Wednesday issued its first offi-
cial condemnation of Chinese
commercial practices, siding
with the Lniled Stales, the Eu-
ropean Union and Canada in a
dispute over car parts
The WTO found that Chi-
na was breaking trade rules by
taxing imports of auto parts at
the same rale as foreign-made
finished cars, according lo a
copy of the ruling's conclu-
sions obtained by the Associat-
ed Press
In the sweeping decision,
the three-member WTO panel
found against China on nearly
every poinl of contention with
the U.S., ihe 27-nation EU and
Canada The panel found thai
Chinese measures "accord im-
ported auto parts less favor-
able treatment than like do-
mestic auto parts" or "subject
imported auto parts to an in-
ternal charge in excess of that
applied to like domestic auto
parts."
Its final message to Beijing:
"The dispute settlement body
requests China to bring these
inconsistent measures as listed
above into conformity with its
obligations"

Cain met
Wednesday with House Re
publicans in an effort to
smooth over past conflicts
and encourage critics to
back his candidacy McCa-
in, all but assured the nom-
ination, won Tuesday's pri-
maries in Maryland, Virgin-
ia and the District of Co
lumbia
"I'm very gratified by
the very warm reception
that I received from the Re
publican conference this
morning - a spirited and a
good discussion of some of
the issues." McCain told re-
porters afterward. "I'm very
grateful for our pledge to
work together."
McCain spoke at a Cap
itol Hill news conference
where he was flanked by the
House GOP leadership. The
Arizona senator is working
hard to reassure critics who
are suspicious of his more
moderate positions on some
issues and of his tendency
to work with Democrats
Republican leader John
Boehner, for one, was will
ing lo set aside differences
"Clearly, I've had some
disagreements with Sena-
tor McCain over the years,"
said Boehner, an Ohio con-
gressman. "But I've got to
tell you, I've watched this
presidential race unfold.
and I've watched John Mc
Cain be a strong advocate
for the principles I believe
in."
GOP whip Hoy Blunt
called McCain "the besl
possible nominee for us to
take back the House"
"The nominee who ap-
peals to Reagan Democrats,
the nominee who appeals to
independents, the nominee
who will unite conservatives
in a way that assures he'll be
not only the next president,
but he'll be working with a
Republican majority in the
House," Blunt said
Republican retirements
from Congress diminish the
GOP's chances of recap
turing control of I he House
and Senate in November
McCain promised to
work hard to elect Republi
cans to the House, and al
lowed the Democrats have
generated more enthusiasm
among voters to date
Complicating his task is
Arkansas Gov. Mike Hueka
bee, who has stubbornly re-
fused to leave the Republi-
can race despite the seeming
impossibility of overcoming
McCain's commanding lead
in the chase for convention
delegates
"Of course, I would
like for him to withdraw to-
day: it would be much easi-
er" McCain said. "But 1 re
spect his right to remain in
this race for just as long as
he wants to."
Huckabee gave McCain
big trouble Tuesday among
conservatives in Virginia.
There, exit polls showed 63
percent of white, bum-again
Christians supported Huck
a bee.
Even so, McCain not
ed, he won Virginia by more
than 9 percent
"In any election I've
ever been involved in, a
9 percent cushion is very
good." McCain said I also
understand why many evan-
gelical Christians would
vote for Governor Hucka
bee He is a Baptist minis
tcr."
As he did Tuesday night,
McCain focused much of his
criticism on Obama, Tues
day's winner on the Demo
cratic side
"1 respect him and the
campaign that he has run.
but there's going to come
a time when we have to
get into specifics." McCa-
in told reporters Wednes-
day on Capitol Hill "I've
not observed every speech
he's given, obviously, but
they are singularly lacking
in specifics."

includes a breast and pelvic
exam as well as an oppor-
tunity to provide informa-
tion to the patient like ask-
ing about birth control or
answering any further ques-
tions the patient might have,
said Carol Kennedy, direc
tor of health promotion.
Implanon might be less
effective in women who are
severely overweight or are
taking certain types of med
ications, Doyle said.
"Implanon must be re-
moved by the end of the
third year and may be re-
placed with a new Im-
planon," Doyle said.
KSU Theatre presents
According lo lm
planon's Web site, the most
common side effect of using
this method is bleeding Oth-
er effects which could result
from insertion and are tem-
porary are pain, swelling,
bruising, scarring and expul
sion of the implant, which
rarely occurs.
"Each woman should
discuss with her provider
which method of birth con-
trol would work best for
her," Doyle said.
"Implanon, as well as
other types of birth con-
trol, will not protect against
STDs." Doyle said "Con-
doms, if used correctly, can
help protect against STDs,
as well as adding extra birth
control protection "

Where's a good place to leave

The tip jar The simplic-
ity of it is mind-boggling Rut
1 understand what you mean
Y'ou want

moody But
how do you
gel their at

down, waving your dollar, yell-

buck"?
Origami My friend Liz
likes to make a crab out of her
dollar, complete with one giant
pinchcr and air foils, so when
you blow it head-on, it fades to
the side Now, she's only man
aged to pull it off once And
how wonderful that was. It was
like "Chitty Chitty Bang Bang"
ail over again Glorious Her
repeated attempts at recreating
this masterpiece have been fu-
nic however But often the act
of trying will get the bartend-
ers' attention, plus, it's a good
conversation starter if they're
not too busy.
If you've been there a
while and the bartender has
been extra kind, try to recreate
the string- puppets from "The
Sound of Music'" Gel them
dancing around with their gan-
gly legs and start belting out
"The Lonely Goatherd" with a
"Lay ec odl lay ec odl lay hce
hoo." Who wouldn't turn and
watch that ? Then just dance
the puppet on over the bar. and
mission accomplished
Why does school suck?
I love this question Be-
cause it's school.
Personally, 1 really enjoy
school. I enjoy going to class,
though that doesn't coincide
with the fact that 1 skip class
from lime to time (to time to
time to time ...). As soon as I
learned about opportunity cost
in economics, it all went down
hill. Suddenly I had justifica-
tion lor skipping class - my
lime would be better spent in
bed
School can be so repeti-
tious We go there every day
and sit for hours. Sometimes
we learn things; sometimes we
don't. Teachers need to under-
stand thai some of the lessons
they have to give just aren't
that interesting
Then you have all these re-
quired classes that are utter-
ly useless Case in point: Engi-
neering Concepts Dumb Of
course that was four years ago,
so things might have changed
by now {doubt it) We listened
in guest speakers, built crap-
py balsa wood lowers and gave
even crappier presentations
about them Waste of time. All
I learned was that balsa wood
sucks
As I'm in my fifth year of
college, I've had many 500-
and 61 W) level classes I've tak-
en several tests in these class-
es. I've gotten many 20 and 30
percent: on these tests, and yet
I've still pulled It's and some-
times As. Why' Because the
class had an outrageous curve
I ii m't get me wrong. God bless
the curve But what is the point
of having a class where either
the teacher isn't teaching any-
thing or the students aren't
learning anything? Yeah. 1 got
a B in Foundations of Analy-
sis - couldn't tell you a thing
about it. What's that, you took
Slats 510? Yup. Learn any
thing? Nope
I really do like school
though. I've had a handful of
teachers who I have learned
a lot from in and out of class.
One even aught me how lo

Stores offer quick, affordable V-Day gifts
By Monica Castro
KANSAS STATE COLLEGIAN
Valentine's Day has
arrived, and people arc
running around at the last
minute to find the perfect
gifts. Manhattan businesses
have several ideas to help
the late shopper
Acme Gift in Ag-
gie vi lie has a variety of
wacky items to purchase
Diane Meredith, co-own-
er of Acme Gift, said there
are several fun toys, books
or games.
"One popular item we
have that people have been
purchasing is the toilet pa-
per with lips, and we have
fun books that are best sell-
ers," Meredith said
Aside from the small,
silly items to incorporate
with gifts, Acme Gift also
offer flowers
With the phone nng
ing more often this season,
Meredith said Acme keeps
going when other flow-
er shops close early Acme
Gift allows customers lo
customize their own flo-
ral arrangements. She said
sometimes employees cre-
ate unusual arrangements
for their customers
"Watching guys come
in is hilarious because they
have no clue what lo do,
so we give them a series
of questions to drag infor-
mation out of them to gel
the right flowers," Meredith
said. "We let ihem pick out
everything, down to the
last flower."
Acme Gift also makes
orders for men incorporat-
ing masculine items She
said she once made an ar
rangement of (lowers with
a six-pack of beer
'^{vls***.
Acme Gift offers af-
fordable arrangements and
gag gifts, and the com pa
n\ can deliver gifts around
campus or Aggie ville for
free or anywhere in town
for S4.50.
It people want to add
candy to a gift. Candyopo-
lis, located in the Manhat-
tan Town Center, provides
an assortment of candies
from which lo choose.
Courtney Harken,
Candyopolis employee and
freshman in pre profes
sional business administra-
tion, said the store has can-
dy boxes to fill with can
dy, plush animals, balloons
and novelty items
"We cater to the cus-
tomers and give them
whatever they need, and
we do it with the custom
er in mind," Harken said,
Whitney Wilson. Can-
dyopolis employee and se-
nior in apparel and textiles,
said they have seen a lot of
last -minute shoppers in the
store
Customers can put to-
gether bags of candy, or
there are pre-made can-
dy bags available She said
the store also makes candy
bouquets, which can be
made with any candy
available in the store
"Everyone loves can-
dy, and we have a whole
bunch of stuff, so that is
why people come ui at the
last minute." Wilson said
LAST-MINUTE
GIFTS:
Make a personalized
card instead of buying
one. Handmade cards are
always mote sentimen-
tal, and they are easy to
make.
Make mixed CD* of
your significant other's
favorite songs or songs
which remind you of him
or her.
Handmade picture
frames, scrap books
or collages are always
special Mod Podge can
be your best friend while
making picture frames.
Make a series of I
coupons for free back
rubs, homemade dinners
or whatever you choose,
and give them to your
significant other.
Make your significant
other's favorite dinner or
dessert.
Make a basket filled with
your love's favorite items.
You could fill a small bas-
ket with favorite candies,
snacks and a movie.
Leave a series of Post -It
notes in your significant
other's belongings to let
them know you care.
KING'S KITCHEN
Cook finishes Valentine's meal with side, dessert
Unfortunately, a meal is
not complete without a side
dish and dessert. It isn't ex-
actly re-
quired,
but it just
seems in
complete
the meal.
Before I
finish my
Valen-
tine's Day
menu with
I he rest of
the reci-
pes, I would like lo talk a
little bit about the wine N
lection. If one wants to pur-
chase only a bottle uf wine,
I would consider a dark dry
red wine like merlul or cab-
ernet sauvignon A bottle of
blush could be acceptable if
the person does not like red
wine
Though this meal is tor
someone I care about. 1 am
the one who is cooking, so I
get to have my favorite pair-
ing with red meal mashed
poUttM
Chocolate has always
been a staple of Valentines
Day, which is why I chose
lo create chocolate dipped
strawberries with drizzled
white chocolate. Many be
lieve they are difficult to cre-
ate, when in actuality it is
just time consuming

Dissension in the ranks
COLLEGIAN FILE PHOTOS
Former president Bill Clinton and Pre» Ident George W. Bush spoke at the Landon Lecture's within the last three year;. According to recent reports, the military
personnel, many of which pictured above at a Landon Lecture, are showing more support toward antiwar candidates in the 2008 election.
Military vote changes as war in Iraq prolongs
Wh " h ^r n>u ,
By Rebecca Perez
KANSAS STATE COLLEI.IAN
This is the final article in a five-
week series examining the vot-
ing behavior of different groups
within society and their effects
on the 2008 presidential elec-
tion Check the Collegian Web
site, www kstatecollegian com.
for previous articles.
Many military service mem-
bers say they vote for Republican
candidates for three simple rea-
sons; they arc traditionally pro-
gun rights, pro death penally and
pro-military.
Dale Herspring, professor of
political science and author of
multiple books on the military and
politics, said Democrats began
alienating service members in the
1960s and the height of the Viet-
nam era.
"The military hated Lyndon
Johnson because of the way he
interfered in the Vietnam War,"
Hcrspring said "When it came to
Johnson and Robert McNamara
(his secretary of defense), they act-
ed in ways that were guaranteed to
upset the military"
Many soldiers can trace their
political affiliations with the Re-
publican Party to President Ron-
ald Reagan.
"When Jimmy Carter ran for
reelection against Reagan, less
than 1 percent of military officers
voted for him," Herspring said
"They were so turned off by the
way Carter had treated the mili-
tary [in spite of being a graduate
of the US Naval Academy], and
so impressed by the way Reagan
treated them, that they moved into
the Republican camp."
This election season has seen
a change in military voting pat-
terns. Based on financial contribu-
tions and polls, military members
are showing more support toward
anti-war candidates.
According to the Center for
Responsive Politics, individuals
in the Army, Navy and Air Force
were top contributors for anti-war
presidential candidates last year.
Rep Ron Paul, R -Texas, who op-
poses U.S. involvement in Iraq and
Afghanistan, was the top recipient
of money from donors in the mil-
itary, collecting at least $212,000
from them Democratic Sen. Ba-
nt k Obama of Illinois, another
war opponent, was second with
approximately $94,000
Military approval ratings
are down for the war in Iraq ac-
cording to a Military Times poll
at www.militarytimes.com. Only
62 percent of military members
polled have some degree of opti-
mism that the war in Iraq will suc-
ceed, which is down from a high
of 83 percent in 2004. Thirty-sev-
en percent of military members
polled believe the war in Iraq will
take longer than 10 years
Andre America Sr , a 47 year-
old retired Air Force airman and
K- St ate student, is an Obama sup-
porter and said that he would have
to think about voting for Sen. Hil-
lary Clinton if she gets the Demo-
cratic nomination.
"The way the Clintons' cam-
paign has been conducted - the
way they treated Obama - I don't
think it was right, but as a Demo-
crat, 1 would probably support the
Democratic ticket," America said.
"I think a majority of the mil-
itary people 1 ran across voted Re-
publican because they thought
that the Republicans were better
on national defense than the Dem-
ocrats, especially when I came in
during the Reagan era," America
said "That was the predominant
view, but it really started to change
with the war in Iraq."
America said it is crucial to
move U.S. soldiers out of Iraq with
honor and diplomacy.
"It was very interesting to
watch Fox News and all of the
gung-ho troops, but the troops
that were coming back from Iraq
that I helped out were all saying
that we need to get out of Iraq,"
America said "It was a different
point of view, but you never heard
that point of view because of the
military You had to toe that line
of supporting the commander-in-
chief and not realty saying any
thing against the government. But
many of us that were retiring heard
the troops say we need to get out,
but in an honorable way"

Upcoming career fairs allow students to market themselves
By Sheila Ellis
KANSAS S I. M Hot I H, IAN
Career Fairs can be crit-
ical tools for job searches,
however, students can some-
limes become overwhelmed
with the large number of
employers and little time to
spend with them.
Dottie Evans, assistant
director of K Stale Career and
Employment Services said
every student should have a
60 second commercial pro-
moting themselves to the em-
ployer and effectively making
use of their time
"Your introduction is very
important," she said, "You
need to say your name, ma-
jor, year and articulate the op-
portunity you arc looking for
whether it be a job or intern-
ship Students need to keep in
mind that they have 5-7 min-
utes max per employer."
In this commercial, stu-
dents should make their ob
jectives clear and give the em-
ployer a connection
"The employer needs to
know what you have to offer
their company, and the stu-
dent needs to know what the
employer can offer them," she
said.
She also said it is crucial
for students to conduct re-
search before the fair on 5-8
employers in which they are
interested Students should
then pull 3 5 questions to
keep conversation going once
they have introduced them
selves to the employer It is
also important for students
to make sure they have a sup-
ply of resumes on hand. Ev
ans said students should bring
at least 20 copies.
"Recruiters will pull stu-
dents aside who have the ma-
jor on their name tag that they
are looking for so they need
to be prepared."' she said
She also said some em-
ployers stay in Manhattan an
extra day after the fair and use
the next day to conduct inter-
views
Evans recommended stu-
dents should start attend-
ing career fairs starting their
sophomore year.
"Employers want to see
students as early in their col-
lege career as possible," Evans
said "It is important to build
these relationships - and this
does not happen over one ac-
count."

Students browse for prospective employers at the Engineering Career Fair The Business and Hospitality
Career Fair is scheduled for February 9 and the Common Good Internship/Career Fair is March S.
The more a student vis-
its an employer at career fairs,
the more likely they can make
a strong impression and pos
sibly land an internship or
job, she said It is also impor-
tant for students to make sure
they send a thank-you note to
employers of interest after the
fair.
Monday there will be a
Business and Hospitality Ca-
reer Fair and other colleges
will follow. Evans said the ca-
reer fairs are just one service
that CES has been providing

Board rejects
tuition cap
By Amanda Keim
• KANSASSTATECOLUGIAN
After a three-hour meet-
ing Wednesday afternoon, the
Kansas Board of Regents vot-
ed 7-2 against
the creation
of a tuition
cap.
Regent
Dock
of Wich
present -
the offi
motion,
decision,
that was ap-
proved by the
board. Kip Peterson, Board of
Regents' director for govern-
ment relations and commu-
nications, provided an exact
quoting of the motion
"] move that the Board
of Regents make clear its con-
cern over the continuing rise
in tuition and offer guidance
to the universities that near
term increases in tuition will
be well below those of the re-
cent past," Docking said at the
meeting Wednesday
The purpose of the final
motion was to avoid creating
a cap while still finding a way
to ensure that tuition prices do
not increase by such a great
percentage as they have in
previous years
"The point we have all
made as regents is that it is
now time to take into consid-
eration that there were very
large increases in tuition in the
last five to six years. It is time
to change that pattern" Dock-
ing said "All of the regents
agree on that."
Peterson said the decision
to alter the pattern of drastic
increases in tuition began last
month. Members recently in-
ducted to the board expressed
concern in schooling costs and
requested steps be taken to
generate a change

bers raised some concerns

increases risk

By Kristin Hodges
KANSAS STATE COLLEGIAN
A sexually transmitted dis-

ing a risk factor for oral cancer
in men, according to a recent
study
According to a Feb. 1 arti-
cle in the Washington Times, a
study released by the Journal of
Clinical Oncology reported that
cases of human papillomavirus
related oral cancers have been
on the rise since 2000.
Researchers from the Na-
tional Cancer Institute and
Johns Hopkins University
found that though tobacco and
alcohol consumption were the
leading risks for oral cancer in
the past, these risks are declin-
ing and HPV-related risks are
rising, according to the article.
The researchers found that men
were more likely than women
to have HPV related oral

• Do you favor using state funds or guarantees to expand air service to
Manhattan?
• Should the Kansas Legislature enact tougher penalties tor businesses who
knowingly hire illegal immigrants?
' Do you support the decision of the Secretary of Kansas Department of
Health and Environment to ban the proposed coal fired electric plants in
the Holcomb area?
' Do you favor raising taxes on cigarettes to expand access to health care

• Should Kansas support the expanded development of wind energy?
Should the state support all day kindergarten?
Kansas currently has the to west minimum age in the United States at $2 65

Student body VP still only to apply; deadline today
By Brandon Steintrt
KANSAS MAIH'tHlrUAN
The deadline for those
tiling fur student body pres
ident and vice president for
the 2008
2009 school
year is 4 p.m.
today
Still only
on* pair has
filed Lydia
IVelc. senior
in mathe-
matics edu-
cation and
Robert Swift,
junior in po-
litical science.
f'Li-te said she's hopeful
competitors will file before
deSiiline
"Friday is usually a busy
djwf said Bill Harlan, assis-
tant coordinator for student
icfiviiies and services "A lot
nl people file for all the rac
esjt's not unusual to have a
Peele
president and vice president
file on Friday, so it won't sur-
prise me at all if somebody
does"
The following is a Q&A with
Lydia Peek:
How do you feel about
running uncontested?
Well, since the dead-
line isn't until four, I haven't
been silting too comfortably
wilh that concept You nev-
er know what's going to hap-
pen As far as our campaign,
we've been talking about
both possibilities, like what
we would do if nobody else
decided to file or if somebody
else did and different ways
we'd go about things. 1 guess
we II just wait till tomorrow
for now.
Robert and I still really
want to visit wilh u lot of stu-
dents and a lot of student Of
Ionizations to gel our ideas
out there and see what stu
dents think about (hem So
far we've received really good
feedback but we really want
to make sure that we're doing
what students need and what
they want If there's anything
else we can do. we can def-
initely work on that as well
because (hat's what we want
to do - we want to serve the
students.
Are you hopeful tor lome
competition?
I am hopeful for the com-
petition I think it's necessary
to the process We have elec-
tions for a reason We usually
have about four or five pairs
who run
You have to do your re
search and be prepared to
debate and answer questions
We've been preparing for all
that with the idea that there
will be other people run
ning So we are hopeful for
that competition and also to
see what other ideas are out
there
What is the primary Issue
your administration will
address if elected?
I think the biggest issue
right now is taking a look at
La fen e Health Center, using
a comprehensive survey of
everybody who uses the cen-
ter, whether it's the pharma-
cy or the women's clinic
From there, we would
like to work with the univer
sity health center director or
someone on the outside who
has a lot of expertise in the
field of health care and find
out how we can make our
services better for students.
How will you advertise your
campaign if no one runs
against you?
We might put a few small
things up, just so people
know what our ideas are and
know that the elections are
coming up We never planned
on blanketing campus in the
first place We definitely don't
want to have as many posters
up. We don't want to waste
people's lime and taking up
tree space and oil that We
have our T-shirts all ready, so
we'll be distributing thuse as
well until they run out
What part will student body
president Matt Wagner play
in your presidency?
1 think if we win the elec-
tion, I would probably call
him from time to lime to get
his advice We have worked
really closely together this
year, but at the same time
president and vice president
are two very different roles
There are different commit
tees to serve on as chairs, dif-
ferent sorts of relationships
to have with the administra-
tion and the Board of Ke
gents, Working so closely
with him makes it easier for
me to be able to give him a
call and ask him (for advice |
What is your most
valuable experience as vice
president?
I think as far as prepar
ing M to he student body
president would be the re-
lationships I've formed with
the administrators We're re-
ally lucky here at K Stale to
have administrator! and fac-
ulty and staff that are really
supportive
I've been really grateful
for that this year and I look
forward to being able to con-
tinue to build (hose relation-
ships next year. I think it
would be to our advantage
and it probably wouldn't take
so long for mi' to just jump
right in because I know what
I'm getting into

STUDENT GOVERNMENT
Senate to revise, reconsider bill to increase Union salaries
By Brandon Steinert
KANSAS SIAifcUlt 111, IAN
Student Senate sent a
bill back, which would have
increased the K Stale Stu-
dent Union Operations Bud-
gel Privilege Fee by about
$20,000 for fiscal year 2009
and $32,000 for the fiscal
year of 2010, to be revised
after it was rejected 34 11-8.
The increase is intended
to make up for campus-wide
minimum wage increases
Tim Weninger, facul-
ty senate representative and
graduate student in comput
er science, argued the in-
crease in minimum wage
would mean an increase in
all workers' pay, not just
those who would be making
under the minimum This, he
said, would conflict with the
system other areas of cam-
pus have utilized and has
caused displeasure with sev-
eral campus workers
The bill was sent back
to the privilege fee commit
tee for reconsideration after
a unanimous motion
James Lyall, associ
ate vice provost of informa-
tion services, gave a demon-
stration on the workings of
a new e-mail system, which
could potentially replace
K-State's WebMail The new
system has numerous fea-
tures including schedule
sharing and instant message
capabilities.
Three students were ap-
pointed as senators to serve
for the remainder of the
2007-2008 fiscal year. John
Porter, junior in mechani-
cal engineering, wilt repre-
sent the college of engineer-
ing Addison Kirkland and
Christine Caplinger, sopho-
mores in family studies and
human services, wilt repre-
sent the college of human
ecology This resolution was
originally on the introduc-
tion of new legislation, but
was moved to final action
and passed unanimously.
A resolution to support
the ONE campaign's pres
ence on K State's campus
was also moved from new
legislation to final action
and passed unanimously
ONE addresses and
works to eliminate world
problems like hunger, lack of
education, clean water, pov
erty, HIV/AIDS and others,
said Senator David Weslfall,
graduate student in sociolo-
gy
Two allocations were ap
proved unanimously in final
action. KSU Habitat for Hu
manity will receive $600 to
attend Collegiate Challenge,
which is a program designed
to teach members about oil)
er chapters of Habitat for
Humanity.
The American Human
ics Student Association will
receive $100 to pay for one
member's travel expenses to
attend a conference in San
Diego, Cai
Three allocations will be
addressed next week, as well
as a bill providing, from re-
serves, additional funds to

Dear Prez Putin
Christina Klein |aiLLB.[AN
U.S., Russian rivalry not for 2000s
Tensions between the Unit-
ed States and Russia have be-
came increasingly strained in re-
cent years.
Many believe
this is due in
part to a IS
led project
to place mis-
sile-defense
systems in
Eastern Eu-
rope, as well
as U.S. criti-
cism of Rus MARQUIS
sian President CLARK
Vladimir Pu
tins lack of
commitment to democracy.
According to the Associat-
ed Press, Russian bombers were
intercepted in the Pacific Ocean
by F-18 Hornets after one buzzed
a US aircraft carrier over the
weekend These types of encoun-
ters were relatively common dur-
ing the Cold War; however, they
have become less frequent m the
2 1st century. In fact, this was the
first such incident since 2004
This incident comes on the
heels of defensive statements by-
Russia's lop military officer, Gen
Yuri Baluyevsky
"We have no plans to attack
anyone, but we consider il nec-
essary for all our partners in the
world community to clearly un-
derstand ... that to defend the
sovereignty and territorial integri-
ty of Russia and its allies, military
forces will be used, including pre-
ventively, including with the use
of nuclear weapons," Baluyevsky
As if this war of words need-
ed any more fuel, BBC reports of
the development of Russian "su-
per missiles" - capable of carry
ing 10 warheads and hitting tar
gels up to 3,000 miles away that
could "break through any defense
system" - will fuel speculation as
to the increased military nature of
these tensions
Given the current adminis-
tration is unwavering in its com
mitment to continue the poli-
cies of its childhood toward Rus-
sia. I've composed this open letter
to the outgoing Russian president
himself:
Dear President Putin.
1 realize that relations with
those of us in the West have be-
come somewhat strained cunsid-
ering the United Slates is promot-
ing Eastern European missile de-
fense systems that arc MM even
terrifically popular with the res-
idents of said Eastern European
countries.
Statements by those in our
executive branch that call into
question your commitment to de-
mocracy seem only to exacerbate
the situation
Let DM assure you these are

Of American* These people des
perately cling to Cold War ide-
als and patterns Bui thankful-
ly they are growing older and will
soon retire from public life. While
it might seem that recent primary

I renewed com in it men I lo con-
tinuing ancient conflicts, I assure
you the American people will ral-
ly and elect free-thinking individ-
ual-
There arc I hose who feel our
government refuses lo represent
our position on this issue There
fore, we felt it was necessary lo
plead our case directly to you
We, the undersigned, as students
of Kansas State University, do not
take any more joy in the "Miracle
On Ice" lhan we do in the well-
deserved All -America honors of
native Russian and K- Si ate vol-
leyball outside hitter Nataly Ko
robkova.
We were moved by the pic-
turesque beauty of your moun-
tains in "Rocky IV" We mar-
vel with you at the hypocrisy of a
president whose father was pres-
ident, and a presidential hope-
ful who is the wife of a former
president who is actively en-
gaged in her campaign, criticizing
your endorsement of a successor.
And while apocalyptic cinemat-
ic representations of nuclear war
do seem a bit out there, we can
probably agree lhal fallout is at
the very least unpleasant.
So try lo ignore our pres-
eni rl ici one and instead heed the
words of a founding father, fames
Madison
In "Federalist No W," he
said, "Is it not the glory of the
people of America that, whilst
they have paid a decent regard to
the opinions of former times and
nations, they have not suffered a
blind veneration of antiquity, for
custom, or for names, lo overrule
the suggestions of their own good
sense, the knowledge of their
< rwtl situation, and the lessons of
their own experience?"

Lack of student government leaders

race here at
home.
Today is
the last day
for students
to register for
student body president for the
2008-09 school year So far,
current student body vice pres-
ident Lydia Pecle, senior in
math education, and her run-
ning mate Robert Swift, junior
in political science, are the only
students who have taken the
initiative to register as candi-
dates.
Though leading a university's
student body is hardly compa-
rable to running an entire coun-
try, It is disappointing that out

only two are concerned enough
for its future to take on the big-
gest leadership responsibilities.
Also, when a team is not
pitted against competitors, it
might prove difficult for the
pair tu be truly challenged and
provide their voters with a sol-
id platform This is not to say
that Peele and Swift are incapa-
ble of offering a worthy plan; in
fact, we greatly respect them for
showing such desire and initia-
tive
However, students should
think about whether they want
their next student body leaders
to be voted in by default.
The beauty of democracy in-
cludes the right to vote for our
leaders. The U.S. was founded
on these principles, and it is our
duty to stay involved in our po-
litical futures and either step up
and run for office, or encourage
those we know who might be
the right people for the job
FRIDAY, FEBRUARY IS, 2008
High schools should
open later, not earlier
KELSEY
CHIIORESS
The disastrous ice stomi in De-
cember created many problems
for Manhattan. While K-Slatc only
canceled one
day of class,
USD 383 Man
hattan-Ogden
canceled four
days of class
and then was
stuck in a quan
dary. How can
schools make
up these missed
days without
adding any to
the end of the
school year?
Administra-
tors came up with a solution - they
added 12 minutes to the end of
each day for the rest of the school
year But in all truthfulness, these
extra minutes each day don't real
ly make up the academic difference
students missed during those "ice
days." However, administrators had
no choice but to set it up this way
because public schools are required
by law to have a certain quota of
school days each year
This shows that laws and reg
ulations are more important than
consideration of students' learning.
Students will not be happy to come
to school earlier and stay later, and
teachers might feci the same.
Some of the make-up time
might be spent wailing for the bell
to ring, instead of teachers attempt-
ing to squeeze in more lessons The
school board is probably doing the
best it can with the stipulations it
has, but only to fulfill a require-
ment, which is what so much of
public education has become these
days
The No Child Left Behind Act
has made public schools a mini-
malist government operation rather
than an academic system aimed to-
ward fostering the development of
students' intelligence
With so many school days
programmed per year and
a certain percentage of test
scores required to main-
tain accreditation, the fo
cus on numbers has overrid-
den and undermined the val
ue of education Most stu
dents who now attend re-
state remember having
to get up at 6 a.m. to
get ready for school.
In middle school.
my bus came at 6:50
am., so most
mornings I was
out the door by
6:40, as my mom
was barely waking
up to get ready for
work
It seems like teen
agers have a harder time getting
up and mentally functioning in
the morning than adults do Mak-
ing the school days start earlier can
only make going to class worse for
students, especially high -schoolers
The Center for Applied Re-
search and Educational Improve
ment at the University of Minne
sola did research that influenced
two Minnesota school districts to
change their start lime from 7:15
am to 8:40 a.m.. based on a study
showing teenagers have a different
natural sleep pattern than adults or
other children
The same researchers stud
ied the effects of this change and
stated, "Compared with students
whose schools maintained earli
er start times, students with later
starts reported getting more sleep
on school nights, being less sleepy
during the day. getting slightly high-
er grades and experiencing fewer
depressive feelings and behaviors."
Fitting class lime in during the
morning does little to add to stu-
dents' education during the lime
spent in class. Ultimately, students
and administrators are backed into
a comer when it comes to decid-
ing school-day lengths and starting
times
But before coming to the solu-
tion of earlier start limes to make
up school days, school boards
should lake into consideration
studies done on sleeping patterns
of teenagers and the opinion of stu-
dents when making such choices.

Local trail
still closed
By Vtronika Novostrlova
KANSAS STAlHUUfcdLAN
A portion of the Linear
Trail in south Manhattan was
"tliLijIly closed because of
lioi id damage
Gillian Armstrong, a cy-
clist and K-State alumna, said
«he enjoyed riding the trail and
was affected by its closure
The Linear Trail was con-
venient when it was longer, be-
fore part of it was closed." Arm-
strong said. "I'm wondering
when it will be repaired. Hav-
ing a long trail like Linear is
great, not only for cyclists, but
fur walkers, runners and every-
one else that uses it as well "
The trail provides a few
Irailheads and transfer points
in the city limits The trail's
Web site, wuw.trmlnimm.com,
suggests cyclists should visit the
Sunset Zoological Park loop,
which is muddy, rocky and up-
hill. The Web site gives direc-
tions for the trip from Clarion
Hotel as a starting point The
site estimates the trail to be be-
tween 15 and 18 miles long.
"Natural Resources Con-
servation Service, which is a
federal agency, assists with re-
pairing damaged waterways,"
said Eddie Easles, park super-
intendent. "I hopefully expect
that in the near future this area
will be repaired, but we depend
on the federal agency to pro-
vide aid to us."
The K-State Cycling Club
often uses the trail, though
many of its members are stay-
ing on pavement to train for
mad racing
"We would like to see it re-
open so that recreational riders
will not gel discouraged from
riding in (he upcoming spring."
said Gerald Hart, senior in me-
chanical engineering and pres-
ident of the KSU Cycling Club.
I do know that the trail is not
unpassable. however There is
a tree obstructing the trail and
some major washouts, but peo-
ple can still get by."

This year marks the 20- year anniversary of Bramlage Coliseum.
Construction began in fall 1 986 and was completed summer 1988
Bramlage reaches 20th anniversary
By Joe Vossen
KANSAS STATF (OL1.F01AN
With all the successes en
joyed by the men's and wom-
en's basketball teams this sea-
son, one important milestone
has gone almost unnoticed by
students: This season marks
the 20th anniversary of Brum
lage Coliseum.
Through the years, the
building has been known to
fans by many names, includ-
ing "The Pit" (for its sunk
en floor seating). "The Fred''
(short for Fred Bramlage. the
eponymous lead donor), and
"Purple Octagon of Doom"
(in honor of the coliseum's
eight walls and raucous atmo-
sphere).
According to the
K-State athletics Web site,
kstatesports.com, Bramlage
was constructed during a two-
year period, from fall 1986 to
summer 1988 Construction
costs totaled $172 million. $7
million of which was financed
by students.
Jim Muller. manager of
operations at Bramlage, said
the athletics department hon-
ors the students' generosity by
providing numerous campus
jobs.
"The coliseum has al-
ways endeavored to maintain
a heavy load of student work-
ers to provide student jobs,"
Muller said. "That was part of
our mission, the students put
up funding for the building,
and so we return that to them
through student jobs. We av-
erage about 400 to 500 stu-
dents a year working for us,
including security, custodi-
al, parking operations, ushers
and ticket takers."
Muller has worked at the
coliseum since its opening in
1988 He said he has seen
many different teams, build
ing renovations and the in-
stallation of two new basket
ball floors since the original
"We're on the third year
of our third floor," Muller
said. "The average age for
each floor is five to six years.
In thai time each floor will be
refinished one to three times
In order to change the logo
or paint scheme, you have to
scrape the surface, and as we
sand it down to bare wood,
we take some of the life of the
floor out "
Bramlage plays hosts to
55-60 large scale events each
year, Muller said Coliseum
workers must be ready to dis
MMnbh and reassemble the
floor for the 34 home basket-
ball contests, in addition to
tournaments, graduation cer-
emonies. Land on Lectures,
concerts, career fairs and co-
medians that use Bramlage in
an average year.
"It was built original-
ly as a multi purpose venue,"
he said. "Part of the mission
given lo us by the university
was lo host multiple types of
events, which dictated that we
have a portable floor. The bas-
ketball court takes about four
and a -half to five hours lo dis-
assemble with about 20 work-
ers and approximately five to
five-and-a-half hours to reas-
semble. We have to reinstall
all of the telephone wiring,
court -side electrical wiring,
data cords for court -side sta-
tistic monitors (there arc thir-
teen such monitors for report-
ers watching the game), lines
for Internet use, and various
servers for ESPN and other
folks'-
lii addition In moving the
court on or off the floor of
Bramlage, cleaning the facil
ity between events can be an
equally arduous task
"Cleanup can take three
hours following a women's
game to six hours following
a big men's game," he said
"In addition lo that, we have
crews working throughout
the day finishing up. The job
is never done between games.
We are always tidying up and
preparing for the next game
so when people come into the
building it's event -ready."
No matter what event is
scheduled next in Bramlage,
Muller said students play a
part in the operation of the fa
eility, now and in the future.
"We're very interested
in being part of the educa
tional process of the univer-
sity," Muller said "Our stu-
dent jobs give real -wo rid ex-
perience to be used when stu-
dents apply for their first jobs.
Some of our students who
have worked here continue
to come back and let us know
how much they appreciated
the experience."
Over the years, Bramlage has had several widely known events such
as George W. Bush presenting the Landon Lecture and Will Ferrell
on tour.

Conference shows
balance, strength
throughout season
By Joel Wilson
KANSAS STATE COLLfijIAN
When K-Stale took sole possession of the Big
1 2 Conference with an 84-75 win over KU on Jan
30, some might have thought they would be hold-
ing onto that lead for a while.
But in the Big 12, nothing is for certain, and
the Wildcats (17-6, 7 2 Big 12) suffered a loss at
Missouri three days later
KU pulled back into a tie for the conference
lead with the K State loss, but the Jayhawks also
fell the wrath ol a Big 12 schedule when they fell,
72-69, at Texas
With the lead back in their hands and anoth-
er road game upon them, the Wildcats fell for the
second -straight time after taking sole possession
of first place in the conference Freshman forward
Bill Walker said it shows the strength of the Big
12.
"This is a tough conference with a lot of good
teams," he said "Anybody can get beat on any
night"
Now in a three-way tie for first place in the
loss column with Texas and KU, K State will face
the challenge of playing four of their final seven
games on the road Senior guard Clent Stewart
said it's tough to have the target of the first-place
leu in in the conference especially on the road.
"To be successful in this league, first and fore-
most you have to defend home court and after that
you have to go out and steal some on the road," he
said. "Anytime you go into another environment
here in the Big 12, it's tough, especially when you
arc in the top spot."
The next test for K State will be Missouri at 5
pm Saturday at Bramlage Coliseum, one of three
remaining home games and a contest against the
learn that first look K State's. Big 12 lead away.
Missouri (14-11, 4-6 Big 12) is coming off a
86 78 overtime win against Nebraska, its first game
since previously suspended senior guard Stefhon
Hannah was dismissed from the team K Stale
coach Frank Martin gave credit to Missouri coach
Mike Anderson for guiding the team through its
recent adversity
"The job Mike Anderson has done in keeping
those guys all focused in and moving forward

were fortunate enough to
come out on top in both of
those categories"

va said this week - with three
matches in six days - would
be a challenge
"I think it's going to be
pretty tough since we have
to travel and play today [last
Tuesday)," she said Tuesday
"It's exam week, so everyone
needs to study, but I guess we
just have to relax and prepare
for this weekend's match"

Drugs such as Adder ad, Ritalin, Vicodin, Xanax and OxyContin are abused by college students who will pop, snort, or smoke
these prescription drugs recreationally.
Common stimulants, depressants easy to abuse
By Whitney Hodgln
KANSAS STATE COLLEGIAN
Prescription drugs used to treat
pain, attention deficit hyperactive
disorder and anxiety are beacons of
hope for college students suffering
from the symptoms of these disrup-
tive problems. But the temptation
for students lo self-diagnose with-
out a prescription can cause more
problems than it solves.
According to the spring 2006
Alcohol and Other Drag Educa-
tion Service Survey from K State's
Counseling Services, only two per-
cent of K-State students have a pre
scription for Adderall or Ritalin -
common prescriptions for ADHD.
Five percent of students are pre-
scribed anti- anxiety or anli -depres-
sant medicine like Zoloft, Paxil and
Valium.
But as the prescription drug
wave continues to keep once-suf-
fering individuals afloat, the rest of
the pi 1 1 -trusting population has be-
gun to sink under the unempha
sized side effects of these drugs
"There are lots of students will-
ing lo pay people wilh prescriptions
for a couple of pills lo help them
study or relax," said Erin Flaharty,
junior in psychology. "Mosl people
don't think twice about the risk in-
volved because so many people take
them."
Students should know the
warning signs of addiction and the
potential for abuse these prescnp
lions have, said Bill Arck, director
of Alcohol and Other Drug Educa-
tion Services at K State
■Just like people hove different
tolerances to alcohol, people have
different tolerances (o prescription
medications," he said, "If the ini-
tial prescribed strength is correct,
there will be a saturation point thai
should take care of the need."
Feeling the need to increase
one's dosage of a prescription is a
warning thai the wrong medication
is being administered, Arck said
According to sciencedailycom,
"Addiction happens because tol-
erance with the drug is developed
quickly, therefore increasing the
amount of the drug needed to satis
fy the addiction."
Some short-term effects of
ADHD drug use are increased nico-
tine cravings, weight loss and loss of
sleep, according to drugabuse.gov.
Pain killers and anti- anxiety medi-
cations have short-term effects like
drowsiness, impaired motor skills
and stomach pain.
The long term effects of ADHD
drugs include tremors, erectile dys-
function and liver, kidney and
lung damage, while prolonged use
of painkillers can lead lo internal
bleeding and ulcers.
Students who feel I he need to
counter Ihe side effects of their pre-
scriptions by taking additional mea-
sures should be aware of what they
are doing lo their bodies, experts
say.
"Other drugs may be used to
keep the abuser calm during the
withdrawal process like benzodiaz-
epines or barbiturates," according
lo sciencedaily.com "The constant
switching from uppers and down-
ers can cause severe damage to the
brain and central nervous system."
The "pills-fix-cverything" men-
tality has added fuel to an already
expansive black market for pre-
scription drugs Not everyone who
wants a prescription has one
"Very few people who need Rit-
alin or Adderall will give them away
because ihey really do need them,"
Arck said. "There's definitely a m;ir
ket for it, but it's a felony to possess
a prescription that's not yours"
Americans' insatiable need for
these drags has turned prescrip
lion name brands into household
names.
"Production of Ritalin has in-
creased almost six-fold since 1990.
and the US consumed five times
more Ritalin than the rest of the
world," according to a newsletter
from K- State Counseling Services
In a country where pharma
ceulical companies spent more than
$15 billion on direct -to-consum-
er advertising in 2007, according to
sciencedaify.com, students say they
think it's hardly fair to blame pill-
popping Americans for Iheir addic
tion to Ireating symptoms.
"It's in our nature to trust doc-
tors and the prescriptions we get,
but anymore you have lo be the one
to second-guess whether you really
need ihem or not," Flaharty said.
Mark Brown Barnetl, phar-
macist at Lafene Health Center,
said the pharmacy keeps track of
students who claim to have lost a
month's prescription, or that their
medication was stolen, because of
the high potential for abuse
"We at the pharmacy try to in-
still in the students a sense of re-
sponsibility for their medication if
they are prescribed something that
is abu sable and that people are
known to steal," Brown- Barnett
said.
"Students need to take Iheir
medications appropriately and store
Ihem in a safe place so they get the
medication they need and others
can't."
'Baby Borrowers' provides glimpse into life with children
By Megan Molitor
KANSAS M A 1 1 UtLLtlilAN
The "American dream" of
getting married, having babies
and living happily ever after is
something many people hope
to bring to reality as they be
come adults However, some
young people are eager to
reach this point at a very ear-
ly age. An upcoming N BC re
ility show profiles five couples
on a quest to prove to them-
selves and others lhat they
are ready lo become parents
"Baby Borrowers," set to pre
mi ere on Monday, puts these
tuples on the fast (rack to
idtilt life.
The couples come from
ill walks of life, and each var-
ies in its opinions of what the
'aimers' life should be like
ne California couple, after
iree very rocky years of dat-
ig, decided lo participate in
M experiment to see if its re-
nionship could make it. An-
ther young woman is desper
e to prove to her boyfriend
iat they are ready for mar-
ige and children, while her
tyfriend hopes the experi-
ment will show her how wrong
she is. The couples ages range
from 18-20 years old, and they
come from all over the coun-
try.
Every aspect of married
life is covered in the I wo week
social experiment, as sort of
a real-life experience in fast-
forward The first stage is the
honeymoon, where each cou-
ple is given a modern, large
suburban house, and has a day
to enjoy playing house and be-
ing with each other. II is unius-
ing to hear the interviews and
hear the optimism and confi-
dence each person has about
what is in store for ihem over
the next couple of weeks
The next day, each wom-
an must don a pregnancy bel-
ly, and this is the first moment
they begin to realize lhat this
experiment might be more dif-
ficult than just simply play-
ing with babies Some handle
the experience gracefully, and
others do not, like the wom-
an from New Hampshire who
refuses to wear the belly and
makes her boyfriend attend
parenting classes alone.
Then come the babies,
crying and screaming after be-
ing delivered by the parents
At this point, it is very easy
to develop a favorite couple,
like the couple who works
as a learn and treats the child
as Iheir own. and to develop
opinions as lo which couples
should never be allowed to
procreate One young woman
gets frustrated with the baby
girl for whom she's responsi-
ble, calls the baby "ii," and re-
fuses to have anything to do
wilh her because she won't
eal.
One person from each
couple must go to work every
day, where he or she makes
$100 a day to provide for the
lamily Working all day, then
coming home only to help
care for a child, is something
none of these couples have
experienced, and it begins lo
cause turbulence in the rela-
tionships.
Some of the couples
aren't as mature as they had
hoped, and it is unbelievable
how these young adults treat
these babies While some be-
omte very attached, others
forget to change them and put
them in different clothes.
Another interesting as-
pect of the show is lhal the
actual parents of the babies
can watch what is going on
via camera, and Ihey have
ihe ability to interject advice
at any time, which the young
couples do not usually appre-
ciate. Many tears arc shed in
this emotional program, and
there is no doubt the viewer
will get a chuckle or two out of
watching these couple's ideal-
istic dreams getting shattered
In later episodes, the ba-
bies are replaced by toddlers,
and then by teenagers, simi-
LOURTfLS* PHOTO
lar to the ages of the couples
themselves In an interesting
twist, Ihe last step is to care
for an elderly person, some-
thing the couples might have
to face in their distant future
Will the couples survive?
Will they come to the realiza-
tion that life is still ahead of
them, while marriage and ba-
bies can wait' It will be an in-
teresting ride for these couples,
and viewers will be glad these
couples have a way to go be
fore they have little bundles of
joy of their own, three days of
awkwardly fumbling with ba-
bies is quite enough for now.

"We want to get the

DeMaranville, senior
in business management,
said she started Wildcats for
PA W . an acronym for Pel

summer 2007 because she
saw a need for this type of or
Ionization on campus.
"Pet welfare is stagger-
ing, and we are passionate
about educating students and
community members about
pet welfare and adoption,"
she said
Because Wildcats for

the group is becoming mure

Need for gerontology majors increases
By Vtronika Novoselova
KANSAS STAfl C0UMUM
People who are 85 years
old or older now comprise
the fastest growing segment
uf the US population, ac-
cording to the US Census
Bureau Older citizens are
slaying alive lunger and, for
college students, this means
many of them one day will in-
teract * "h 'he elderly in their
careers.
As the older population
continues to grow at an un-
precedented rate, the study
of the elderly, gerontology, is
becoming more and more im-
portant.
K State's Center on Ag-
ing provides I'dLicational and
training programs in geron-
tology and prepares profes-
sionals to work with senior
citizens and an aging society.
"Many advisers send
students to us because one
day almost everybody will
be working with older peo-
ple When you go to the in
terview for a job and say that
you have a gerontology back-
ground, it really does give
you an edge," said Gayle Doll,
Cottar on Aging director.
Both undergraduate and
graduate students can study
gerontology, regardless of
their primary major. Most
gerontology courses are of-
fered through faculty in disci-
plinary departments i h rough -
uut the university, and en-
rollment in undergraduate
programs has been climbing
steadily. Doll said
Check
The Introduction to Ger
ontology course was ap-
proved as a general education
elective, and a new sociology
and aging class is coming in
the fall. Doll said.
A secondary major car
ries more weight than a mi-
nor, but docs not require
quite as many hours as a pri
mary major, Doll said.
1a en if we have enough
resources to offer eh
to make it a major, I proba-
bly would not pursue that,"
she said "I think it is a good
match for other majors, but
probably not a major itself,
although we do offer, through
distance education, a Master
of gerontology."
These programs will be
useful for those who are pre
paring for careers in fields
such as social work, family
economics, psychology, man
agement, marketing, medi-
cine, architecture, biology,
family studies and many oth-
ers, she said.
For example, one former
K-State architecture student
came up with ideas about
structure and organization o(
buildings designed for the el
derly. Doll said.
The former student's ar-
chitecture firm in Kansas City
realized a building needed to
be constructed for the old-
er populations. Some interi-
ur design students have also
Studied aejiij; to figure out
how to plan interior space so
senior citizens can move safe-
ly and freely, Doll said
Since its establishment

in 1975, the Center on Ag,-
ing has stayed connected to
the research world. It con-
ducts research on aging, con-
siderirtg social, psychological,
economic and environmental
factors
The Center has been rec-
ognized nationally for work
with PEAK (Promoting Ex
cellent Alternatives in Kansas
Nursing Homes) The goal is
to identify nursing homes that
are seeking to improve quauly
of care and life for residents.
Doll said organizational and
personal change can help to
accomplish these goals.
"Probably the most tJT
teresting thing we are doing
right now is looking at qual-
ity of life for people living in
nursing homes, so we started
exploring lots of different ar-
eas." she said
"The subject that nobody
really wants to talk about is
that people in nursing hotn£S
still have sexual needs and
sometimes express them m
appropriately. You don't
even want to think that your
healthy grandparents are djl-
ing it We have been writing
materials about it and have
had some requests to help
nursing homes understand
this issue a little hit better"

VOTE | Military cadet
says Obama is a leader
Continued from Page 1
are faced with the challenge of
supporting their commander-
in-chief and voicing their opin-
ions when it comes to voting for
presidential candidates, so much
so that one cadet who supports
Obama requested to be quoted
anonymously
The cadet feels that voting
for an ami -war candidate could
create conflict by voicing an
opinion that is the diametric op
posite of the current president's
policies.
"As an individual, and in no
way am I speaking for the mil-
itary, I do personally believe
that our country does need to
be strong both militarily and ec-
onomically, which means we
need to have a clear vision and
use our resources wisely," the
cadet said
The cadet said Obama is
a leader who can improve the
country's physical and econom-
ic security and also equality.
Alan Bauerly. ROTC cadet
and senior in agriculture tech
no logy management, said Iraq is
a very significant political issue
to him. He said he thinks Iraq
will end up being a U.S. mili-
tary posting like South Korea or
Germany.
Bauerly said he will vole
Republican in the coming elec-
tions unless "the Republicans
start throwing mure mud than
the Democrats If that happens,
I'll vote Democrat," he said
For Mark Grimsley. ROTC
cadet and senior in history,
there is not a clear choice of
who to vote for
He is registered as a Repub-
lican, but he said won't tUCM
sarily vote Republican He said
he really likes Obama. but if
Clinton were to get the nomi-
nation, he would probably vote
Republican, he said.
HPV | No vaccinations
available for male cases
Continued fawn Pigtl
cancers, where 73 percent of the
17,626 cases studied were men.
According to the Centers for
Disease Control and Prevention
Web site, HPV is sexually trans
milted and affects approximately
20 million people.
Nikki Kay. media officer for
the Centers for Disease Control
and Prevention, said the CDC
does not have any information or
recent research about HPV and
its relation to oral cancer
Anmsa Shockey, president
of Sexual Health Awareness Peer
Educators and senior in biology,
said the organization provides
general information to student*
of both sexes about how to sexu
ally protect oneself However, the
group docs not have any informa-
tion about HPV- related oral can-
cers in men since the research is
new.
Carol Kennedy, director
of health promotion/nutrition
counseling at Lafcne Health Cen-
ter and SHAPE advisor, said she
also did not have any information
about the new study.
"It's my understanding that
oral cancer by HPV is contracted
through oral sex. so using a den-
tal band might protect a little bit,"
Kennedy said, "but there's not a
lot of information about it"
The Gardasil vaccine helps
protect recipients against four
types of HPV. but it covers cer-
vical, not oral, cancer, and it has
not been approved for men, ac
cording to the CDC Web site.
WHAT YOU NEED TO KNOW:
Other HPV-related health prob-
lems in men
-genital warts
-penile cancer
anal cancer (note: anal cancer is
not the same as colorectal can-
cer, which is not caused by HPV}
TUITION I Regents suggest smaller increases
Continued from Pig* 1
about tuition and indicated
that they wanted to have a
healthy discussion on the top-
ic this month," Peterson said.
"The new board members in
particular said. 'We under-
stand why tuition has gone
up but considering recession,
maybe it's time we establish
some sort of cap, target or
range'"
Universities begin their
tuition proposals this time of
the year, Peterson said May
is the time when campus-
es make board presentations
and in |une, a final decision is
made regarding tuition prices.
"The next step U that
they've now heard our mes-
sage and (hey come to us in
June with their own propos-
als and we either say yes or
no," Docking said "At least
we gave them a heads up and
no one's really going to be sur-
prised if they come in with
huge increases and we say
no"
Student Body President
Matt Wagner attended the
meeting and spoke on behalf
of rejecting the cap.
"1 think it was the best
outcome that we could have
hoped for and the reason for
that is because we have to rely
on our university system to
understand the dynamics on
each of (he individual cam-
puses and we have to make
sure all parties are involved."
he said
Wagner emphasized that
as a student, he understands
the desire to avoid increased
tuition prices but he also val-
ues his diploma and what it
represents
"In the end, 1 think some
students will understand that
the difference is excellence or
mediocrity Excellence means
paying more." Wagner said
Due to the various needs
of different campuses across
the state, board members said
it was important to allow a
certain amount of flexibility
lo universities. A balance be
tween universities' needs and
tuition must be established.
"I voted against the cap.
My decision was based on
the desire to give the univer-
sities and the students who
also were a part of this pru-
cess the flexibility to come to
us with recommendations for
tuition increases without be
boxed in by a cap There are a
lot of variables that are unde-
termined right now," Docking
said.
Though the Board of Re-
gents will not set a limit on a
tuition increase in the follow-
ing year, they have recom-
mended that universities at-
tempt to keep the increas-
es within four, five or six per-
cent
"It is now time to be more
prudent and to stay within a
four to five to six rating," Dock
ing said. "That seems reason-
able to me. And it seems that
faculty can be paid, and you
can function with that type of
increase."

when they went through
their adversity is a credit
to him and those kids," he
said
Last lime the teams
played, the Tigers overcame
a 15 point deficit to achieve
a comeback win over the
Wildcats This lime Walker
said he wants lo gel the job
done early.
"1 remember being up
15 points and they were
ready to quit, but we gave
(hem some life and it came
back to haunt us," he said.
"This game I just want to
jump on them early and gel
Ihem out of here"
Stewart said the ear-
ly success the last time out
stemmed from the Wild-
cats' ability to get the ball
inside lo the post players
and put pressure on the
Missouri guards.
The Wildcats got into
trouble because of their in-
ability to stop Tiger runs.
"The way they play, it's
nothing for them to go on a
10-0 run in a matter of two
minutes," he said "It's just
the way they play,"
Martin said it's impor-
tant for the team to quickly
learn from and not fall off
track.
"Unfortunately, in our
sport the only success that
matters are the wins and
losses," he said.
CAREER FAIR | CES to
give away Big 12 tickets
Continued from Page 1
"The No. 1 reason Ihey
come to K-State is because our
students' work ethics are lung-
standing."
Evans noted lhat more than
80 percent of students want lo
work in the Midwest region and
the K-State career fairs reflect
that. However, sin- said student;,
interested in job markets in oth-
er states can use CES to link lo
another university's services.
For assistance in pre par
ing for upcoming career fairs
students can visit the CES Web
site.
Tony Boscia, senior admin-
istrative assistant, said CES is
giving away Phillips 66 Big 12
Mens Basketball Tournament
tickets through their Hunt for
Hoops scavenger hunt in which
students will look for clues pro-
vided on the Web site.
'This is the first year we are
doing this to get students inter
ested and familiarized with our
services," Boscia said.

Afghan graduate students fill their plates with traditional Afghan food during a dinner Sunday evening. This group has been studying at K-State, while two K- State
teachers have been spending their time in Afghanistan.
Afghan students study English, relish life in U.S.
By Holly Campbell
KANSAS STATE COLLEGIAN
Afghanistan's 25 years of war began be-
fore Sarah Ahmadi, K-State graduate student
in English, was even born.
Afghan native Ahmadi. now 21 years old,
spent about IS years living in Pakistan as a
refugee with her family.
"We were not there for our own choic-
es," Ahmadi said- "We were there because we
didn't have any other options."
About six years ago, Ahmadi returned to
her hometown of Kabul, Afghanistan. In the
year after the Sept 1 1 terrorist attacks, order
was restored enough in Afghanistan for Ah-
madi to safely return and attend Kabul Uni-
versity, she said.
In January, Ahmadi and eight other Af-
ghan students came to Manhattan to study
English at K-State.
A grant from the World Bank funded an
exchange project between K-State and two
Afghan universities, Kabul and Balkh Univer-
sity, said Julie Lebo, grant- project coordina-
tor.
Since April 2007, K-State has worked
with the English departments of both univer-
sities and with the engineering and architec-
ture department at Kabul, Lebo said
The faculty members were extremely re-
silient, but the universities did not have ad-
equate materials or logical course sequences,
and very few instructors had graduate or doc-
toral degrees, Lebo said. The goal of the proj-
Three Afghan graduate students wait for the food to be served during their dinner Sunday night.
ect was to make the universities' programs
meet the standards necessary to be interna-
tionally accredited, she said.
Although Kabul University is beautiful,
many improvements need to be made, Ahma
di said
"During the 25 years of war, we have had
a lot of damage, so most of the buildings are
not working now, and we don't have proper
classes

Instructors sacrifice comforts to teach in Afghanistan
By Holly Campbell
KANSAS STATE COLLEGIAN
Two K-State instructors have
given up the comforts of Manhat-
tan to temporarily make Kabul.
Afghanistan, their home
Angela DiCostanzo and Kct
ty Reppert, both K- Si ale English
Language Program instructors,
arrived in Afghanistan on Jan. 3.
They are at Kabul University as
part of the World Bank grant proj-
ect, through which K State has as
sisted in restructuring Kabul Uni-
versity and Balkh University in Af-
ghanistan, said Mary Wood, Eng
lish Language Program director.
The teachers are conducting
English -language training sessions
for faculty and some advanced stu-
dents from Kabul and Balkh uni-
versities, DiCostanzo said. They
are also helping to plan curric-
ulum and choose textbooks for
English classes at Kabul Universi-
ty, Reppert said
"Many of the faculty are hun-
gry for opportunities to leam and
are very eager to improve the qual-
ity of education that is offered to
the students at the university,"

instructor of K-State English Language Program work at Kabul University in
Afghanistan
Reppert said
Those instructors have faced
daunting challenges working at
their universities.
"Their work is very difficult,
due to the lack of facilities, materi-
als, opportunities for training and
an adequate salary," Reppert said
"Many of them have jobs outside
the university in order to support
their families."
Because Afghanistan has been
an unstable country, precautions
were taken lor the teachers' safe-
ty. They have been chaperoned on
campus and must be driven to the
university instead of walking, Rep-
pert said
However, the teachers have
not faced any imminent danger in
their city
"Kabul is relatively safe com-
pared to other areas in Afghani-
stan," DiCostanzo said
"We have not been treated
badly by anyone," Reppert said
"People in general are very friend-
ly and helpful and glad to have us
here in Afghanistan"
To prepare for their stay in Af-
ghanistan, the teachers spoke with
other faculty members who had
traveled to the country, consulted
with English Language Program
staff and studied Afghan culture,

high
BSU, student leader recognized for service
By Elite Podtujsky
KANSAS STATE COLLEGIA*
)ust one handshake with
senior Bryon Williams, and
one can instantly (eel they are
in the presence of a true lead-
er. Dressed impeccably in a
black suit complete with pur-
ple tie and Powercat pin, Wil-
liams, president of K State's
Black Student Union, radiates
Wildcat and BSU pride - and
with good reason.
This past weekend, Wil-
liams, senior in economics,
and delegate of the KState
BSU attended the 31st annu
al Big 12 Conference on Black
Student Government al Okla-
homa State University and
took home the conference's
most coveted award: the Clar-
ence Wine Most Outstanding
Big 12 Council of the Year
This is the second time the K-
State BSU has won this award
in the past three years.
"I was speechless," Wil-
liams said. "I was grinning for
like, three hours My jaw was
hurting, my head was hurting,
and I just couldn't stop smiling
because of all the hard work
we really put into this BSU."
Winning the award means
BSU members have put to-
gether the best black student
governing organization with-
in the Big 12 and surrounding
universities, Williams said
The conference began
Thursday evening and con-
cluded Saturday night when
the executive board for the
conference leadership council
announced the winners in an
awards banquet.
Williams said the winners
were chosen based on a schol-
arship packet each organiza-
tion is required to put together,
which he said contained about
IS pages of essays detailing
what BSU has done academ
ically throughout the year
Similarly, he said they
must create a delegate book
- which is comparable to a
yearbook - of all the activities
BSU has put together through
the year Williams said the ex-
ecutive boards also look at re-
cruitment retention of minori
lies, community service, cam-
pus involvement and group's
overall effectiveness on the
campus.
"We were really hon-
ored that out of all these great
schools who are doing all these
great things on their campus-
es, they selected us," he said
"We're really setting an exam-
ple for other schools, so it real
ly was a truly humbling experi-
ence"
But to suggest that Wil
liams has ever been anything
but humble throughout his
college career would be an un-
derstatement.
"He's the type of per-
son thai if somebody needs
help, no matter what he's do-
ing, he'll drop what he's doing
to help that person out," said
Brittany Delaney, sophomore
in kinesiology, William's friend
and fellow BSU member "He
really does have an impact on
us He is a strong voice among
us He really does cany us as
an organization and he makes
sure everybody does what they
have to do and he keeps us in
line"
That strong leadership,
Bryon
senior In
economics,
holds the
Clarence
Wine Most
Outstanding
Big 12 Council-
of-the-Year
award. The
KState Black
Student Union
received the
award this
weekend at
Oklahoma
State
University. This
is the second
time the BSU
has won this
award.

sense of purpose and passion
is something Williams said he
has had ever since he came to
K- State and attended his first
BSU meeting
When he was a freshman,
the Big 12 Conference was
hosted at KState, and Wil-
liams said he immediately vol-
unteered lo serve on the spe-
cial-programs committee for
the event
"Hewasdefinitelyunique,"
said Brandon Clark, coordina-
tor of multi-cultural programs
for the K-Slate alumni asso-
ciation "This conference be-
ing such a big event and big
deal, he was the only fresh
man who stood up and volun-
teered said, '1 want to serve on
the actual committee, to hold
an actual co-chair commis-
sion.' 1 1 was then that ) knew
he was going io be a very spe-
cial young man ,., The respon-
sibility he look on let inc know
he was someone to look out
for as a future leader on this
campus."
Williams said his experi-
ence of serving on the com-
mittee for the conference was
what made him fall in love
with the organization. Since
then, he said he can literally
count on two hands the num-
ber of weekly BSU meetings

During I he men's basketball game Saturday,
there was a ceremony honoring the 1947-1948
and 1957 1958 basketball teams for making it
to the Pinal Pour in the NCAA tournament.
Also during the game, Miehael Beasley scored
40 points and set a record for the rnosl points
scored in a single season by a freshman.
MISS [WEEKEND PARKING TICKETS
It's bad enough to be slapped with parking
tickets during work hours, but weekends aren't
safe either Unfortunately, students still have to
be wary of parking violations, even on Sunday
evenings.
MISS | CUSS ON PRESIDENT'S DAY
' Today is Presidents Day and, traditionally, banks,
I schools and government offices are closed in
reservation of the holiday. Low and behold, we
students and faculty aren't bequeathed a day off
HIT | INCREASE IN CANDIDATES
As of Friday, five pairs have filed to run for
student body president and vice president
Students should appreciate their effort to bring
about a variety of candidates to choose from.
HIT | DONATION FROM KOCH
The Fred C and Mary R. Koch Foundation
and Koch Industries Inc. donated $400,000
to K-State to help with diversity recruitment,
mentoring and retention.
MISS | UNION STATION CAF t CLOSING
The Union Station Cafe in the K-Statc Student
Union has closed for business It was a nice
distraction from the hustle and bustle of the food
court, and it's a shame we couldn't maintain its
sales well enough to keep it in business.
Global Women
Feminists should reach beyond U.S.
AUFJREE
CASPER
Christina Fonberg | i nil h. IAS
Though our parents gener-
ation has had its share of equal-
rights protests and marches.
2008 is not
an appropri-
ate time for a
feminist rev-
olution in the
U.S.
However,
author Shei
la Jeffreys be-
lieves it's ex-
actly what
we need Her
new book -
one of seven
she has writ-
ten since her crusades began in
the 1980s - addresses a new side
of feminism more fit for today's
world
However, the book, "Beau-
ty and Misogyny: Harmful Cul-
tural Practices in the West," has
lost touch with what the femi-
nist movement has clung to in
the last two or three decades and
proves that ripe, unrelenting and
fearless feminists arc not nearly
as prevalent in today's society
Fighting for equality be-
tween men and women in the
US is a lost cause. As a wom-
an, I am uncomfortable with
the ever-present male superiori-
ty our nation faces in education
and the workplace, but Jeffreys
needs to focus her attention else-
where She despises the use of
makeup and says cosmetics and
the increase in plastic surgery re-
flect a post-war time when wom-
en competed for a husband sim-
ply because the male population
took a hit from war casualties.
Where Jeffreys and many
other left over hippie-feminists
are wrong is that women must
still fight hard to close the gap
between genders in the U.S.
They see men as women's big-
gest competition, but if you look
more closely, females' greatest
competition is within their own
sex
Some women get breast im-
plants at age 18 to have a big-
ger and better chest than the
next young woman, not the next
young man. The Palo Alto Dai
ly News reported that 84 percent
of women have used makeup or
skin care products in the previ-
ous year. Women are making this
choice - not their fathers, broth-
ers, boyfriends or husbands.
Most girls wouldn't take so much
time getting ready if they didn't
want to do so Feeling pretty is
something some truly enjoy.
In a report from CareFair
com - a skin -care Web site - 80
percent of women said apply-
ing makeup puts them in a better
mood.
Almost all females have the
right to feel inferior to men, but
in our country the Economic
Policy Institute projects the gen
der gap to be closed within 30
years. This appears hopeful, rela-
tive to the nearly 100 years worn
en have been actively working to
fight for equal rights. They have
come a long way, and it seems
(hat feminists like Jeffreys would
be more effective in Africa and
the Middle East where women
have a long way to go.
While I feel that feminists
in the U.S. have operated like
broken records for the past 10
years, 1 also see their work and
voices moving mountains when
it comes to liberating women
worldwide. U.S. citizens need to
increase their global scope and
perspective, and expanding fem-
inism outside the US is the best
place to start.
Social standards are chang-
ing all the time, and what was of-
ten socially acceptable between
men and women 30 years ago is
not only many times disgraceful
today, but also extremely foreign
to some
If modern feminists want
to make a real difference, they
should take their fight outside
U.S. borders.

U.S. should appreciate life free of forced-child warfare
Call him Ishmael. Ishmael
Beah. He used to be a boy soldier in
Sierra Leone, and he recorded his
descent into bar-
baric warfare in
his memoir "A
Long Way Gone"
Last semes-
ter, Beah spoke
at the K State
Student Union
He shared how
it is still difficult
to deal with the
memory of roam-
ing through the
forests, wield-
ing an AK-47.
He said he re-
members see-
ing grown men cry, begging him for
mercy.
Fortunately, Beah was able to
regain his humanity. UN1CEF. an
organization that strives to combat
poverty, violence, disease and dis-
crimination threatening children
around the world, rescued Beah.
He survived and was able to
share his story Sadly, across the
globe, thousands of other chil-
dren are losing their human rights
BLAKE
OSBORN
;i!i well \ci-urdiiig lo the Human
Rights Watch Web site, between
200,000 lo 500,000 children are
serving as soldiers for either rebel
groups or government troops in cur-
rent conflicts
Because of technological ad-
vances in weaponry and the pro-
liferation of .small arms, the light-
weight automatic weapons are easy
lo use, even for a child. According
lo the UN1CEF Web site, an AK 47
can easily be stripped and reassem-
bled by a child who is 10 years old.
■\s .i n suit i liildrcii in more
lhan 20 countries are being forced
into combat, either through fear,
economic advantage or ostensible
security These Children are more
vulnerable than young adults be-
cause they arc easily intimidated
and emotionally immature
It is disheartening to sec thou-
sands of children being controlled
and turned into killing machines.
While children have been used in
battle over the centuries as drum-
mer boys or on warships, today they
are becoming actual fighters.
Like Beah, they run around
high on drugs and blast M 16s and
AK-47s. some even at their own
family members Beah said he re-
membered the first lime he saw a
grown man cry He wondered who
he could trust
For me, reading Beah's story
made the civil wars in other coun-
tries like Sierra Leone more viv-
id lhan ever before Imagining a 12-
year-old boy with a machete and an
AK-47 is a horrific thought
What makes this reality more
piercing is that this is a child -
innocent, helpless and vulnera-
ble 'Uic youth are the bridge to
the future, and this bridge is
burning in the violence and
terror of combat
Compare this image
with the ones in video games
Americans drool over,
where violence is actual
entertainment and songs
that glorify violence, mak-
ing it sound attractive
Beah laughed at their
mindless admiration of vio-
lence He said he knows what
it is really like. The rappers
who hold guns like toys, Beah
said, have no conception of
how terrible war really is.
Robbed of his family and
his childhood, Beah said he strug-
gled to rejoin society. Thousands of
other children now are experiencing
a similar alienation Their lives are
lost in the tumultuous grind of war.
As Americans, we should be
grateful that our children do not have
to endure such a savage lifestyle And
as Americans, we should think twice
about how we entertain our-
selves, from the violence we
see in our movies and video
games lo
the music
we hear.

I, in no way. want to step

I 1 1 illy support abstinence as
the only 1 00 pe rce nt sure way
lo keep yourself disease-free.
However, it seems people want
to abstain, not only from hav-
ing sex. hut also from talking
about it If you can't talk about
sex, if you can't say words like
penis, vagina and anus without
laughing, and if you can't go
and buy condoms, then point
blank: don't have sex.
Having sex is a huge de-
cision in which you need to
have respect for yourself and
truly be ready bolh emotional-
ly and physically
As a sexual educator, I
lIiiu'i feel it is my job to pass
lodgment on the activities two
consenting adults pursue in
bed I can suggest they try to
play it safe and use protection,
but it is not my choice.

We cannot seem to find a
way to discuss sex that is rea-

about any aspect of sexuality,
that person is labeled as often -

Fabric tie-dye projects inspired by nature
By Sarah Burford
KANSAS STATE I OLLKltAN
Walnuts, marigolds and bright red bugs from Mexico
might seem completely unrelated, but for those who enjoy
the art of dyeing fibers and fabrics, these treasures from
nature could help create their next colorful creation.
Shirley Linn, president of the Topeka Weavers Guild,
said plants or creatures found in nature can be used to dye
fibers. An item is boiled in water, strained, and the color-
ful water is used for dyeing.
"We use [dyes] for wool or yam," Linn said. "Most
people in the guild spin their own yam and dye their own
yam - silk, wool, angora, mohair, even cat hair All of
those things can be spun and then dyed."
Linn said walnut shells and leaves from the walnut
tree will make a deep-brown dye when boiled in water
Goldenrod and marigold will make yellow dyes The saw-
dust from osage orange trees yield a bright yellow. Onion
skins can also be boiled to make yellow or red dyes, de-
pending on the onion's color. A "cochineal," a bug from
Mexico, makes bright red-dye.
Linn said stores like the Yam Bam in Lawrence sell
dyes in powder form for people to use at home Certain
items can be added to the dye to change its hue. Linn said
adding salt to the pot makes the color brighter Rinsing
or straining the dye in tin, iron or chrome after it is done
boiling also will brighten or dull the color, depending on
which metal is used.
Elizabeth McCullough, professor in the Department
of Apparel. Textiles and Interior Design, said she teaches a
beginning textiles course in which students conduct a tic-
dyeing experiment as part of their color laboratory. She
said they use rubber bands and string as the "resist." This
means that the areas of fabric covered by the bands resist
the dye, creating areas of white after the project is dry.
"Students like it because it's fun, but they also find
out that it's hard to control," McCullough said
She said it is difficult to add different colors because
they bleed together. Dye also can seep into the areas pro-
tected by string. Students sometimes wrap marbles into
portions of the fabric and tying bands around them to
make circle or diamond designs, McCullough said.
She said her students use a class of dyes called "direct
dyes"- there are eight classes total - on cotton and rayon.
After the fabric is soaked in heated dye, it is removed with
a slotted spoon, rinsed with water and ironed dry.
Linn said a stainless steel pot or canning pan is best
for boiling the dye, but it should not be used for cook-
ing afterwards She said she lets the fabric simmer in the
strained dye for about 30 minutes. Hi en. Linn said she re-
moves the fabric from the pot and rinses it many times in
gradually cooler water
Keith Kennedy, sophomore in pre -journalism and
mass communications, said his resident assistant in Hay-
maker Hall, Rachel Hood, organized a tie-dyeing program
for their floor a few weeks ago. Her residents brought all
sorts of items from their rooms socks, hats, tank tops,
boxers and tied them up with rubber bands, soaked them
in water and squirted them with dye (she brought in a
kit from Wal-Mart) Then, they laid out their new-fangled
clothing on trash bags on the lobby floor to dry.
"No one knew how to do it, but everything worked
out really well." he said. "For as much dye that was going
around, there wasn't a whole lot of staining involved I
would definitely do it again."

Comedian fond of 'Cars/ sleeveless shirts
By Salerti Strate
KANSAS M'A I M'OLUUAN
Known to many as the
sleeveless redneck who coined
the catch phrase "gil-r-done,"
Larry the Cable Guy proves to
be a down-to-earth man from
Nebraska. Larry, whose real
name is Daniel Whitney, stars
in the upcoming movie "Wit-
less Protection," which is com-
ing to theaters Feb 22
You are a successful come-
dian/actor. What pn. |v i are
you most proud of?
I would have to say the mov-
ie "Cars," because the movie
had a huge actor list, and an
animated movie was definitely
the coolest thing. 1 had to put
on about 1 ,700 pounds to play
that role But stand up come
dy and live performing are the
best
I know you are a Nebras-
ka Comhuskers fan, do you
ever foresee yourself doing a
movie about Nebraska foot-
ball?
There are Nebraska fans all
over the country, but I would
have to be more universal.
You have to limit your audi
ence, but I might do it I would
like to do a romantic comedy
called "Sleeveless in Seattle."
In your upcoming mov-
ie, "Witless Protection," you
play Larry the Cable Guy
In a different light. Can you
tell us a little fail about that
role?
Basically, going through the
script, I'm a small town sher-
iff. I read up on how lo be an
FBI agent, but the small town
crime scene is too small for
me. One day, I see a bunch of
guys pushing this girl around,
so 1 kidnap the girl and take
her to her trial in Chicago,
even though the FBI agents
are trying to take her out and
kill her.
Why should college students
go see "Witless Protection"?
It's a funny movie in my mov-
ies, it doesn't show some po-
litical point. If it's just come-
dy, then this is a good mov
ie lo go see "Witless Protec-
tion ' makes no point, and it's
a good story line, and that's
why they should go see it.
Most comedians receive
criticism. How do you deal
withH?
Criticism always gives mc way
more incentive to work harder
and make more people laugh
It's just comedy, and I'm try
ing to make people laugh and
let them forget their problems
Yes, I have critics, and I don't
care. Look at Jeff Foxworthy.
He's one of the most cleanest
guys in comedy and he still
gels criticized. Sarah Silver
man goes by a real name but
plays a character, a charac-
ter of herself, but still being
a character and I knew that's
what I kinda wanted to do I
grew up on a pig farm. Every
body I grew up with mixed
together formed a charac-
ter, and 1 find it funny. I push
way less buttons with what I
do than Dave Chappelle, but
I'm the one catching more
flack, but I can't figure that
out. Those people who crit-
icize me - that's who I per
form for.
Do you ever wear sleeves?
I do own shirts with sleeves,
but most are sleeveless T-
sbirts and camo. 1 used to
tour in the winter when it
was cold, and I would wear
a long-sleeve shirt untucked
because it's more comfort-
able But I taped a movie in
Phoenix in July, and it was
hot. So I didn't wear sleeves,
and that's how it all started,
1 don't want lo disappoint
my fans, and I never wear
sleeves on stage

K STATE 100, MISSOURI 63
Recorded
Final Four teams I'
honored, Beasley
scores 40 points
By Wendy Ha un
KANSAS M A I* ( iULHt.lAN
K-Stete got a good look at its past stars
and some of its current ones Saturday night
On a night where the mens Final Four
learns from 1947-48 and 1957-58 were hon
ored in a halftime ceremony, freshman for-
ward Michael Beasley became the first player
in K-State history to record two 40 point, 10-
rebound performances in one season. Beasley
led the Wildcats to a 100-63 victory over Mis-
souri on Saturday and finished with 40 points
and 17 rebounds
"I took it personally, the loss in Colum-
bia," Beasley said. It was a lot of things thai
was said that I didn't like. I made it my busi-
ness to help the team win"
Beasley also set the record for points scored
by a freshman He has 617 points, which broke
the record previously held by N orris Coleman,
who scored 609 points in 1986. Beasley also
needs only one more double-double to tie the
NCAA freshman record for double -doubles, a
mark that was set by Syracuse's Carmelo An-
thony during the 2002-03 season Missouri
coach Mike Anderson said though his team
did what it could against K State, ihcy could
not find an answer for Beasley Saturday eve-
ning
"Early on, we were boxing him out and
that got him going." Anderson said. "He played
exceptionally well Some of that we didn't do a
good job, but he's a very good basketball play-
er. He's done that not only to our basketball
team, but to other teams in the country."
K State (18 6, 8-2 Big 12 Conference)
opened with a 6-0 run, but Missouri (14-12, 4-7
Big 12) battled back, closing the gap to 19-18
before K State went on a 21-1 scoring stretch
with just under 12 minutes left in the first half
The Wildcats extended their first -half lead
to 25 at the 1:16 mark However, unlike the
previous encounter with Missouri on Feb. 2,
where K-State squandered a 15-puint lead and
went on lo lose by three, the Wildcats never let
up. The closest Missouri got in the second half
to K-Slate was 21, with K-Slate's largest lead
extending lo double of that at 42
"You always want lo beat a team thai beat
you first time around," said coach Frank Mar
tin. "You never want to lose twice to a team, es-
pecially when the second one is al home. We're
battling our hearts oul to try to figure out how
to win ihis conference. The next one is the big-
gest game when you're fighting for a champi-
onship'
The 37 -point margin of victory was the
largest for K-State in conference play since
beating Missouri 111-56 on |an. 3, 1998. This
also is the second time this season the Wildcats
have reached the century mark in scoring. The
first was against Wagner on Dec. 29, 2007.
Beasley was joined in double- figures in
scoring by freshman forward Bill Walker, who
chipped in 18 points and nine rebounds. Also
scoring significantly for K State was senior
guard Clent Stewart, who had eight points.

freshman guard Jacob Pullcn. who also had

who scored seven and pulled down six boards
K-State shot 50 percent from the floor for the
game, including 46 percent From three-poinl
range
Saturday's game was the last homestand
fur K Slate until Feb. 25, when they face Tex-
as in a Big Monday showdown. This week, K-
State will play al Nebraska Wednesday and at
Baylor Saturday Martin said his team, which is
2-2 on the road in the Big 12, will have to fig-
ure out how to win away from Bramlage
"We have to go oul and find a way to do
it," he said. "We're good enough and talented
enough to do it, and wc have to go out like
we've done in the past and go on the road and
win"
With legends like Bob Boozer, [ack Parr
and Roy DeWitz from the 1957-58 team in at
tendance. Martin said it is important lo bring
K-State basketball back lo its roots.
"We talk to our players all the time about
those guys," he said. "Those guys are Ihe ones
who started this incredible history of K-State
basketball The one thing I've wanted to do in
my ten months on the job is 1 wanted to re-
connect them I wanted to reconnect them be-
cause the incredible history of this program
needs lo be advertised,"

Wheeler leads women's bench effort in win over Missouri
By Joel Jellison
KANSAS STATE COLLECUM
COLUMBIA, Mo - Junior forward
Marlies Gipson didn'l have her normal
offensive production Sunday
Luckily for K-State, players like se-
nior forward Shana Wheeler stepped in
to fill the void as the No. 17 Wildcats
topped Missouri 56 -40
K-State (18-6, 10 J Big 12) jumped
out to a 1 0-1 lead with seven points from
senior guard Kimberly Dietz With 14 49
left in the first half, Gipson knocked
down her first shot of the game to give
the Wildcats a 12-7 advantage Gipson,
who averages 14 4 points and 8.3 re-
bounds per game in Big 12 conference
play, finished Sunday's game with four
points and eight rebounds
The Wildcats stretched l heir lead
to 25-16 after a basket from sophomore
guard Ashley Sweat with 5 43 to play in
the half The Tigers (8-16. 1-10 Big 12)
cut the lead lo six points before half-
time.
With a 10-2 run lo open the sec
ond half, K-State look a 37-25 lead with
1523 left in Ihe game With 5:53 left in
the game, the Wildcats opened a 51-32
lead on Missouri
With Gipson held well below her av-
erages, K Stale had contributions from
other players with 17 points from the
bench Wheeler led the bench effort with
a nine-point, five-rebound performance
that K-State coach Deb Patterson said
showed the kind of player she is
"Shana is the epitome of that under-
stated player on a team because she is
kind, and quiet, and humble; people un-
derestimate the warrior that she is," she
said. "I don't want it to go without being
said thai Wheeler is one of the most im-
pressive warriors I've been around in
my career,"
Along with Wheeler's perfor-
mance, junior guard Kelsey Nelson
scored five points and junior forward
Danielle Zanotli scored three points
to contribute in the win Six bench
players saw time on the floor and fuur
nl them played over 10 minutes.
"We've got all kinds of great play
ers on this team," Dietz said. "Wheel-
er is amazing, and she has just helped
this team so much. Whether it be two
minutes or ten minules, she's awe
some"
K-State left at halftime down in
the rebound baltle, 26-23. The Wild-
cats came out on the winning end
of the battle 44-42 at the end of the
game.
It was an unusual game in terms
of rebounding for Sweat, who averages
3 7 rebounds per game, as she finished
with no rebounds lo compliment her
13-point scoring performance. Despite
a 50 percent performance in shooting
from the floor. Sweat said she has fo-
cused on defense when she has strug-
gled in shooting
"I have been struggling a little bit,
but I think coming out of my Ireshman
year a lot of people would take me for
an offensive threal, so when my offen
sivc game is down it's time to turn it
up on the defensive side," she said
Patterson attributed the win to
the strong defensive effort her team
put forth in a road environment, in-
cluding five steals and four blocks.
"I'm extremely proud of the de-
fensive effort our team brought to the
floor today," she said "When you go
on the road in Big 12 basketball, that's
such an essential element "

Candidates urge orientation classes Ninjas strive to rid campus of drunks
ByCoreneBmendin?
KANSAS STAI lull I Hi|AN
Bryan Cox and Piper
Hoskins built a three-tier plat
form that combine three ideol-
ogies - functional, forward and
freedom
Cox, junior in politi-
cal science, and Hoskins, ju-
nior in economics and polili
cal science, are running for slu-
cknl body president and vice
president, respectively Their
campaign slogan is "Think
Change", which embodies their
three ideologies
"| Rather than doing |
something that is transactional,
we want to do something that
is transitional." Cox said
The first change proposed
by Cox and Hoskins involves
the freshman orientation class-
es Cox said he would like the
knowledge gained from the
restructured freshman class-
es to include, but nol be limit
ed to, financial planning, sexu-
al health and studying skills
The second tier of the Cox-
Hoskins platform encourages
the campus to move forward
both environmentally and fis-
cally. For example, the K State
Student Union currently oper-
ates with a deficit. Cox would

like to find alternative ways to
fund the union and other cam-
pus gruups than through rais-
ing fees Cox would like all stu-
dent buildings and the Union
to use renewable resources like
solar or wind power
Cox said he would like to
improve Lafenc Health Center
services by opening the com-
munication channels between
Lafenc and students
Finally. Cox and Hoskins
llnd for freedom, the freedom
from harm Hoskins said stu-
dents should feel safe not only
on campus but in the Manhat-
tan community. Hoskins wants
to work with the city, include
rape awareness and social safe-
ty in the freshman orientation
classes and increase visibility ol
the Women's Center booth lo-
cated in the Union.
SGA potentials want shuttles, safety

Andrew Glazier and Dane
Miller know exactly what
they would like to see change
around campus
Glazier, a senior in social
sciences, is running for student
body president for 2008-09
school ytsar along with Miller,
the vice president candidate
and junior in political science
Their platform covers
several issues. They said they
want to organize a shuttle ser-
vice to transport students from
their residences - Greek hous-
es, apartments or residence
halls - to campus. They said
it would be an all day shuttle
that is convenient for students
and would reduce parking on
campus.
Glazier and Miller alsu
said they wanted to address
campus safety, especially in
light of recent shootings at
other universities.
"We want to gel police out
of their cars and on the streets
and campus," Miller said.
They said they would like
to see more officers on foot
patrol in larger campus build-
ings There are a limited num-
ber uf officers on duty during
each of their three shifts, the

candidates said. If a crisis sit-
uation happened when only a
couple officers were on duty, it
might take the police dep.ut
ment too long to respond. Gla-
zier said.
Glazier and Miller said
their third issue is tailgaling.
They said they want alcohol to
be allowed at tailgates at Bill
Snyder Family Stadium
The two candidates said
their persm implement
each other, and said they both
fell they had leadership qual-
ities that would make them
successful leaders of the Stu-
dent Governing Association
Miller said they want to

Miller described himself and
his running mate as "Average-
|uc type of guys," who will do
their best to fix any problems
that students might bring be-
fore them
"It's impossible to make
everyone happy, but a good
kader will try to get as close to
that us possible." Miller said

Jonathan "Ninjitsu" Cul-

body president and vice pres-
ident. Culver, freshman in civil
engineering, said he met Bird-
song, junior in political sci-
ence, through a friend. Togeth-
er they developed their plat-
form.
Culver said his platform
is to remove all pirates from
K-State Culver said he aims to
make K State a fun, safe place
to receive an education and
wants to eliminate drunken
i icss from campus because pi-
rates are drunks. He intends to
safeguard the student body by
targeting pirates
Culver said the pirates are
attempting to create a lake and
a port for pirate ships on cam-
pus, and he is opposed to this.
Culver said the pirates are at-
tempting to create classes in
pirating and that it's ridicu
ious.
He said he has an elite
team of ninjas to safe guard
the K-Statc population. He
said he has a group of 20 to 50
ninjas at K Stale, and a popu-
lation of two million ninjas ral-

lied on Facebook
"There are only one mil-
lion pirates in the world," Cul-
ver said, "but I've only seen a
few pirates on campus."
To help his ninjas capture
pirates, he will create signs so
people who see pirates can
contact his ninjas.
While Culver has nev-
er run for president before, he
said he felt his qualifications
were adequate. He was presi-
dent of his high school's chap-
ter of Students Against Drunk
Driving, is a corporal in the
K State ROTC program, sings
in his church choir and leads a
bible study every week.
He said he enjoys playing
soccer, reading his bible, sing-

also said he loves to kill pi-

Tyrone Red Beard"
Schurr, senior in electrical
engineering and "First-Mate
[Scott] Carlson," junior in elec-

for the president and vice pres-

Schurr said there will be
several planks to their cam-
paign platform, including add-
ing a naval section to K- State's
Reserve Officers' Training
Corps and renovating the Na-
talorium into a naval academy
where students could learn to
sail
He also said they hope to
re- instate the tradition of firing
a cannon after every touch-
down made by K-State's foot-
ball team made at Snyder Fam-
ily Stadium.
Also, since the Fourth
Street redevelopment project
began, the fast -food seafood

in the K State Student Union
food court or somewhere else
in Manhattan
He said the team also
hopes to establish Sept. 19,
"Talk like a pirate" day, as an
official school holiday.
Finally, as the last plank
to the team's platform. Schurr
said (hey will try to change the
policy for academic d is linn
esty, to include walking the
plank as a punishment.
Part of the reason Schurr
and Carlson said they are run-
ning for office is because they
have become aware of an un-
derground movement of ninjas
on campus.
"1 don't think that anyone
is up to taking care of this,"
Schurr said "I think, if left un-
tended, (the number of ninjas
on campus) will grow to infes-
tation levels, and who better
to address this issue than pi-
rates"

Sharpton urged economic empowerment for black community
By Ells* Podhajsky
KANSAS StATB I OLLECilAPi
Over the years, during
black history month, KState
has seen mam pou<erful Afri-
can American speakers Per-
haps one of the most powerful
and energetic lectures came in
1996 when the Ret 1 Al Sharp-
ton visited the wkmttity for
'.his histunc month
llic folhtlfkH article was
written to 1 fennifer Lucke in the
leb 4, 1998, Collegian
Flu- Rev Al Shaiplon said
during a lecture TW-sday that
tudoy's generation of black peo-
ple must invest in its own com-
munities to gain economic em-
DowemKitt
Sponsored by the Black
Student Union. Sharpton, the
president of the National Ac-
tion Network, was the key-
note speaker for Black History
Month
Sharpton said black Amer-
icans fought through four stages
of empowerment . The First three
were freedom from slavery, the
right to equality in public ac-
commodations and the right lo
vote The fourth, which black
Americans are battling now, is
the fight for economic empow
crment.
"We can sit in the front of
the bus or the plane, but the
problem is we can't afford it."
Sharpton said
Sharpton said those who
think corporate investment in
the urban community will help
develop the black community
financially arc wrong He said
unless corporations hire black
professionals and bank in local
banks, they are simply making
a profit, and not contributing to
the people of the community
Sharpton said the "glass
ceiling" is preventing econom-
ic empowerment He discussed
the 1996 Teiaco scandal, in
which white executives talk
ed about how to prevent black
people from reaching higher
corporate levels
If these kinds of scenari
os still happen, the black com
mutiny has a long way to go,
Sharpton said
Sharpton discussed affir
mative action, saying black pen
pie have been discriminated
against throughout American
luxury, and most opportunities
were for white people
"America was built on affir-
mative action They just didn't
have it for blacks," Sharpton
said.
Black access to mainstream
society is being cut off as a re-
sult of the backlash against to-
day's affirmative action, Sharp-
ton said He explained Dial gov-
ern men l investments in farm-
ers, corporations and foreign
nations is considered good poli-
cy. Investing money in urban ar-
eas is considered bad domestic
policy
I was taught that charity
begins at home." Sharpton said
Sharpton said black people
should fight toward economic
empowerment instead of wait-
ing for corporate or government
intervention.
"It is far more significant lo
me to build our own business
and to stabilize our own com-
munity," Sharpton said

tup her Browning's 1993 book
Ordinary Men"
Browning, who ts a his-
<<>ry professor at the Univer-
itv i>f North Carolina at Cha
pel Hill ond the author of sev-
eral other books on Nari Ger-
many, will speak at 7 tonight in
foam Hall in the K State Stu-
dent Union His speech "Re
membering Survival: The Sta-
rachowice Factory Slave Labor
Camps" will be the 12th Eisen-
hower Lecture on War and
Peace, sponsored by the histo-
ry department.
Brent Mancr. assistant
professor of history, nominat-
ed Browning to speak for the
Eisenhower lecture Mancr,
said Browning is an important
Holocaust historians.
"He's not just a scholar
who writes focused, detailed
accounts about the Holocaust,"
Maner said. "He also wants
to educate the general public
about what really happened."
Browning's speech will fo
cus on interviews from survi-
vors of the slave labor camps
Maner said slave labor does nui
always receive as much atten-
tion as other Holocaust topics
Browning will also vis-
it three history classes during
his stay at K State, Maner said.
Maner uses the book "Ordi-
nary Men" in his Rise and Fall
of Nazi Germany class
"Ordinary Men' is such
an important book because it
briny abstract levels of policies
down to the levels of the peo-
ple who actually carried it out,"
Browning said "It shows that
it was individuals who carried
out these terrible acts"

STUDENTSI Afghans have adapted
Continued from Pip 1
there (or most of the students,"
Ahmad i said
N ail m Khoshgowar, gradu-
ate student in English, is anoth
er one of the Afghan students
studying at K-State He came
from Balkh University, located in
the city of Mazar c Sharif, Balkh
also lacked must of the resources
that American college students
have become accustomed to.
"We need a lot of equipment
for our university," he said "We
need books, and we need skillful
and talented professors"
Despite the differences be
l ween American and Afghan cul-
ture, Ahmadi and Khoshgowar
said the group of Afghan stu-
dents have not faced loo many
challenges adjusting to life in
America
The nine students have
"done an extremely efficient job
of adapting to American cul-
ture ," said David Murphy, grad-
uate research assistant for the
grant project "For the most part,
they've been extremely open
minded and should be com-
mended''
However, the concerns of
daily life are very different in
America than Afghanistan
"We have here security and
peace." Khoshgowar said "But
in Afghanistan, we can't guess
if something might happen, be-
cause we have a lot of suicide at-
tacks, things like that."
Both students said their re-
spective cities are now mostly
safe and secure There is always a
chance of renewed violence, but
Ahmadi and Khoshgowar said
they are happy to call Afghani-
stan home
Ahmadi was very young
when she had to leave Kabul,
but despite having good experi-
ences in Pakistan she said she al-
ways had the hope of going back
to her hometown.
"I think it's a safe place, but
sometimes you do have prob
lems everywhere around the
world," she said. "Even in the
United States, you always have
some situations when people are
insecure We never know what
will happen tomorrow"
Most of Afghanistan has be
come peaceful, but the southwest
region of Afghanistan has con-
tinued to be lawless and violent,
which affects the entire country.
Khoshgowar said
"I myself know that Afghan
istan is a country that has caused
problems for the world some
years ago," Khoshgowar said.
Still, he said Afghanistan
has quality people
Tliere are kind people, peo
pie with respect for humans, peo-
ple with respect for any religion
in the world," Khoshgowar said
Khoshgowar arid Ahma-
di are both determined to return
to Afghanistan and teach at their
universities after leaving K- State
"Here, people are educated."
Khoshgowar said "In our coun-
try, people arc not altogether ed-
ucated"
Ahmadi said he wants to re-
turn to his home country to share
the knowledge he has gained at
K-State
"We don't have a lot of peo-
ple speaking good English, and I
think those that come here from
Afghanistan to study should go
back, because we need them
there as faculty members to teach
others," Ahmadi said
The nine Afghan students
have made sacrifices to improve
their educations in the United
States
"As a whole, they are a very
intelligent, ambitious and cou-
rageous group, because they
left their families and the lives
they've always known," Murphy
said.
Lcbo said it's very rewarding
to see the Kabul and Balkh stu-
dents flourishing Being able to
study at K-State is a life-changing
opportunity for the Afghan stu
dents, and they could also influ-
ence Americans on campus, be-
cause the news might not always
portray the average Afghan per-
son, Lebo said
Ahmadi agreed that Afghan
students have been given an op-
portunity to teach US student
saboul their country
"1 think there are not a lot
of Afghans here, so I believe if I
represent my country in a better
way, they will have a good image
of my country." Ahmadi said.
It is expected that more stu
dents and faculty will travel back
and forth between K-State and
the Afghan universities over the
next few years, Lebo said The
original grant is set to end in
April 2010
As for the future of life in Af-
ghanistan. Khoshgowar said he
was optimistic that cooperation
with neighboring Pakistan could
one day bring a complete end to
the long period of unrest in the
country that has stretched across
the students' lives
"If Pakistan and Afghani-
stan work together, I'm sure well
have a peaceful situation," Kho-
shgowar said "Nothing is be-
yond the power of humans"

"Kabul is an amazing
city," DiCostanzo said. "Ev-
ery day, 1 gaze at the stunning
scene of beautiful, snow -cov-
ered mountains surrounding
the city and hills covered with
hundreds of brown, rectangu-
lar houses."
Still, the teachers have
had to adjust to life in a new
place with a different culture
DiCostanzo said she has man-
aged to keep in touch with
friends and family through
the Internet, but misses being
able to walk around outdoors
on her own
"Because of the security
restrictions, I feel kind of con-
fined," DiCostanzo said.

em Languages and the Eng-
lish department on the World

Although teaching in Af

at times. DiCostanzo said .she
wants to see the country again
in the future.
"I hope to return here
one day and see Kabul rede
vclopcd and surrounded by
peace"

AWARD | BSU named 'Best in Big 12' for passion, spiritual leadership

he has missed throughout his
four years.
Williams said he feels
so passionately about BSU
because of its effect on not
only its members, but oth-
er students on campus and
members of the community,
whether it is teaching about
the civil rights movement or
the inequalities that are still
an issue today This passion,
Clark said, not only stems
from his complete selfless-
ness, but from his religious
upbringing
As a freshman, Williams
would constantly hear about
BSU members who were gel-
ting into trouble or having
different emotional or physi-
cal issues. So, he and a group
of friends decided to cre-
ate something for students to
connect with each other and
(heir faith
"A lot of our students
were having emotional and
spiritual needs that weren't
being met, including myself,"
he said. "We wanted to create
an outlet to where students
could really reach out and
know there were other stu-
dents who were enveloped in
situations, as well as get them
hooked up to Christ and kind
uf see the things that Christi-
anity has to offer in terms of
help in all these different ar-
eas."
And Worker's of Wisdom
was born Williams described
the group he helped create
as an interactive Bible study
where members are up, con-
stantly moving and engaged
the entire time. He said mem-
bers will act out Bible stories
or books of the Bible in real-
World scenarios, or they will
engage in conversation that is
eventually liked to the Bible
This is just one of the
many goals Williams has cre-
ated and accomplished for
the university and its student;
and. Clark said, there will be
many more to come.
"We've just watched him
grow since he's been here,"
he said "We're all very proud
of him, and we know he has a
bright future ahead of him."
Williams said after grad-
uating in August, he hopes
to attend graduate school at
K-State studying economics
and eventually work for. the
World Bank in Washington,
D.C
"That's one of my dreams
in life - trying to make the
world less polarized and
more equal across the world,"
he said.

Proposed
budget
might cut
loans
By Sarah Burford
KANSAS STATE COLLEGIAN
President Bush has pro-
posed a federal budget for
2009 that would eliminate the
Federal Perkins Loan Program
and the Supplemental Educa-
tional Opportunity Grant pro-
gram fur college students, ac-
cording to The Associated
Press
By eliminating these two
proposals, Bush would expand
the Pell Grant by $2.7 billion
during the next five years. This
would increase the maximum
award for the need-based Pell
Grant by $69 to $4,800, ac-
cording to the proposal,
The Perkins Loan is the
oldest federal need-based pro
gram in the country for stu-
dents, and the Opportunity
Grant is given to students with
exceptional financial need, ac-
cording to the article. The Pell
Grant is reserved especially
for students coming from low-
income families
Larry Moeder, director of
K -Slate's student financial as-
sistance and director of admis-
sions, said the Perkins Loan
helped 2,429 K-State stu-
dents in the last academic year
(2006-07) , totaling $3,595,8 1 8
The Federal Supplemental
Gram helped 1,440 students
last year, totaling $712,550,
Moeder said The Pell Grant
helped 4,253 K-State students
totaling 310,631,447 last year.
"We need more mon-
ey, not jusl the same amount
of money shifted around,"

Diets might
help to avoid
seizures
By Coterie Bmendme
KANSAS STATL COLLEGIAN
Every night, Manhattan
resident Amanda Ferrara goes
to bed knowing not once, not
twice, but at least three times
while she sleeps, she will sut-
ler a seizure.
A seizure is defined "as
abnormal electric activity in
the brain that causes an invol-
untary change in body move-
ment or function, sensation,
awareness or behavior.'
Ferrara takes three differ
eni types of medication and
has a Vagus Nerve Stimulation
implanted under the skin be-
low her collar bone. The VNS
sends regular impulses to the
brain via the vagus nerve The
VNS helps stop or stall her
seizures but does not elimi-
nate them Ferrara has suf-
fered from the seizure disorder
since she was five.
According lo HealthDay
Reporter, the Johns Hopkins
School of Medicine conducted
a study in which adults with
epilepsy went on an Atkins-
like diet, which featured low
amounts uf carbohydrates and
high amounts of proteins.
Ferrara said she has her
reservations about the study,
but others think it can work.
Dr. Debra Doubek. direc-
tor of Mercy LIGHT, a weight-
loss challenge organized by
Mercy Regional Hospital, said
she supervises the diets of two
children with epilepsy. Doubek
said a low-carb, high-protein
diet is called a ketotic diet.
"The ketones get through
the blood-brain barrier where
[medications] don't," Doubek
said.

Crisis panel addresses K-States emergency strategies
By Annette Lawless
KANSAS STAIK l ill IK, IAN
When tragedy strikes, commu
nication is key, according to univer-
sity leaders speaking in regard to
K- State's emergency response stral
egies
University leaders gathered for
a panel discussion about K Suite s
safely procedures Monday after-
noon in response to the Valentine's
Day shootings at Northern Illinois
University.
The shootings, which killed
six students, including the shooter,
look place just 10 months after the
deadliest school shooting in US
history at Virginia Tech
EMERGENCY PLANS
Since the Virginia Tech shoot-
ings last April, K-State has im-
plemented a number of un-cam-
pus emergency programs, includ-
ing adding extra blue light response
systems, a reverse 9-1-1 program,
e-mail alerts and a new emergency
text -message system.
"We couldn't rely on one par
ticular way of communicating, but
this is a complex minute by minute.
second by second crisis situation,"
■.aid Pal BotW, dMfl ti student hie
and moderator of the panel.
The NIU shootings have cre-
ated concerns at K-State, how-
ever, leading some to question if
K -Stale has what it takes to pre-
vent these types of attacks. Though
K-State has implemented a num-
ber of devices to increase commu-
nication, some students and facul-
ty said ihese devices are not consis-
tent across campus.
At this point, there is no device
available to communicate to every
classroom on campus, said Capt.
Richard Herrman of K-State Police
Intercom systems are available in
some buildings but not consistent-
ly throughout the university.
PREVENTION
Despite the number of com-
munication devices available, some
panelists said prevention is the most
important step in minimizing crisis.

Few students subscribed to potentially life-saving system
si rat ion by Joilyn Brown | COLLEGIAN
By Annette Lawless
KANSAS STATE COLLEGIAN
A new program aims to
keep students safe if an attack
like the one at Northern Illi-
nois University ever happens at
K-State, but a majority of stu-
dents are not signing up for the
program that could save their
lives
K-State's emergency text-
message system was imple
mented one month ago. with
the goal of keeping students
aware of on campus activi-
ties. The system will alert stu-
dents about events like severe
weather and other violent on-
c ai n pus threats - yet only 13
percent of students and facul-
ty have signed up for it.
TEXT POPULARITY
"We've only been at this
a few weeks," said Rob Caffey,
organizer of the text-message
system and director of the Of
tiee of Mediated Education "I
think that's a pretty good num-
ber so far that have opted in.
We're just reaching the end of
our password-change period,
so we expect that number to in-
crease pretty dramatically over
the next few days."
Though 3 percent of stu-
dents have subscribed to this
service since the password -
change period, Caffey said the
total 13 percent only repre-
sents about 4,500 students and
faculty.
Caffey said he expects
more students to subscribe to
the service in upcoming semes-
ters, primarily because of stu-
dents' increasing use of new
media
"Text messaging is really
popular with college-aged stu-
dents, and it's a good way to
get in touch with them," Caffey
said "One thing we can do is
gel in touch with people in case
of a local power outage, for ex-
ample, because a lot of people
will still have their cell phones,
even if other phones aren't
working or you can't access the
Web"
STUDENT AWARENESS
While new media might
be popular among college stu-
dents, of the 30 students the
Collegian interviewed while
on campus this past week, only
two were subscribed to the ser-
vice
Dust in Sanborn, senior in
mechanical engineering, said
he was aware of the service,
but had no intentions to sub-
scribe
"I guess weather is the only
thing 1 really care for," Sanborn
said "But I mean, if something
big happened like school shoot-
ings, which have been pretty
recent too, you never expect
something like that to happen
around here But I guess you've
got to prepare for the worst."
Sanbom said he and his
friends found the service unap-
pealing (or a number of ways,
including the fact thai students
have to pay lor the individual
text - though it might be too
late for the important informa-
tion.
MOVING THE SYSTEM
FORWARD
Yet, whether more stu-
dents sign up, university offi-
cials said they will remain posi-
tive about the potential change
this service can bring to cam-
pus
"Nothing is perfect No
system is perfect." said Car-
la |ones, assistant vice presi-
dent and senior associate dean
of student life. "Bui having the
opportunity to communicate
with a lot of people in a very
short period of time, I think is
going to be significant to us I
feel good about it"

CITY COMMISSION
City to discuss sale of Town Center
By Corene Briiendln*
KANSAS STAIt COLUlilAN
City commissioners will
discuss the sale of Manhattan
Tbwn Center and the offer of
free land for
a park with a
lake at their
meeling to-
night
Share -
holders of
Manhattan
Town Cen-
ter have asked
the city to al-
low the sale
of the center from MTC Devel
opment Group, LLC, Florida
to UrbanCal. LLC, Delaware
The council has been advised
to agree to this transaction, ac-
cording to the agenda.
Another topic of discussion
STRAWN
will be Overlay Properties' of-
fer to donate about 1 1 acres of
land, which includes a lake for
a park area The cost of imme
diale development is $554,050
and would require an annual
upkeep cost of $21,000. Curt
Loupe, director of Parks and
Recreation, will present the
item to the commission. Ac-
cording to the agenda. Loupe
will recommend the council re
teel the offer because of devel-
opment and upkeep costs
Commissioner Bob Slrawn
said the commission wants
new developers to leave "green
space'' within their large de
velopment projects The green
space is room for the city to de-
velop parks and other recre-
ational facilities in the larger
housing developments
It is something the com
mission and planning hoard
is looking into for the future."
Strawn said.
Along with the lake. Loupe
also will present the project
ed repair cost to the City Park
pool. The pool closed early last
summer The agenda slates the
estimated costs are between
$40,000 and $75,000 Strawn
said it is difficult to give a more
accurate estimate because it is
an existing structure. The en
gineers cannot fully assess the
damage until after they begin
repairs.
"The city's guidance is - fix
the pool," Strawn said.
Other agenda items include
the development of Third Street
and Leavenworth intersection
and rezoning of Barton Place
Addition. The intersection is
another small project within the
downtown redevelopment proj-
ect
STUDENT GOVERNMENT ELECTIONS
Candidates attend mandatory meeting
By Yvonn* Ramirez
KANSAS STATE COLLEGIAN
Student-council candi-
dates attended one of two
mandatory meetings at 4
p.m. Monday in the K State
Student Union Little The
uicr Candidates who did
not attend the meeting will
be given the opportunity to
attend the second mandato-
ry meeting at 4 p.m. today.
"The purpose of this
meeting was to ensure the
candidates are well pre-
pared for the election pro-
cess," said Brett Eakin, elec-
tions commissioner and se-
nior in management "It is
also to ensure the regulu
doni established by Student
Governing Association are
followed This helps to al
low a fair election process."
Election regulations
covered in the meeting in-
cluded notifying the candi
dales of what is prohibited.
Candidates are not allowed
to post any campaign mate-
rials on dorm premises un-
less posted on doors with
permission of that resident.
"I think Brett did a good
job of explaining not only
the violations, but the free-
doms we have," said Dave
Hoffman, junior in advertis-
ing and sociology
Some of these freedoms
include asking fur contribu-
tions and donations. Candi-
dates must report their do-
nations and contributions,
which should not exceed
$800 if personal or donated
by businesses.
Any complaints about
the campaign a candidate
might have must be hied
within 24 hours of discov-
ery. The campaign group
will be notified and have 42
hours to appeal the com-
plaint, Earkin said
Campaign violations
can result in disqualification
for major offenses, Earkin
said. Major offenses are any-
thing that can affect the out-
come of the election
"The informational
meeting helped clear up any
questions I had, and got me
excited for the upcoming
election season." suid Kev-
in Smart, junior in hotel and
restaurant management
Author of Nazi Germany books visits K-State
Christopher
Browning,
author of several
books about
Nazi Germany

professor from
the University of
North Carolina

Monday night
about Hai\ slave-
labor camps in
Forum Hall in the
K- State Student
Union 'People
did all things
to survive and
we should be
grateful that they
tell us about theif
lives," Browning
said "These are
not feel-good
stories with a
happy ending
and we should
not expect them
to be this way,
that would be a
terrible distor-
tion."

even the Collegian's
want to affltWoph " fln '
think
about how to live with-
out one. It is an exten-
sion of a person, and
now, it really could act
as a lifeline.
K-State is offering
students the option to
sign up for a free emer-
gency text-message
alert system
The system will be
used to alert K-State
students of local emer-
gencies ranging from
class cancellation
to impending severe
weather.
It even could be used
to warn students of an
armed and dangerous
person on campus.
In light of the recent
tragedies at both Vir-
ginia Tech and North-
ern Illinois University,
this might offer some
slight comfort to stu-
dents.
Remember how
nerve-wracking it was
not to know if you
needed to study for
your tests last finals
week?
Well, by signing up
to receive text-message
alerts, this problem can
be easily avoided in the
future.
And it only takes a
couple minutes out of
your busy day to sign
up on K-State Online
to receive the emergen-
cy alerts.
Plus, almost all cell
phones these days have
text-messaging abilities,
and even if it's not in-
cluded in the monthly
plan, the extra 10 cents
for one message that
could relieve some un-
necessary stress - or
even save your life - is
worth it.
So take a few min-
utes to invest in your
well-being by signing
up for the text -message
alert system.

BSU, HALO collaborate
to address interracial dating
By Yvonne Ramirez

'Platanos & Collard
Greens." a thought-provok-
ing romantic comedy por-
traying the struggles for ac
ceplance one interracial
college couple experiences.
will play at 7 p.m. Wednes
day in Forum Hall in the
K-State Student Union
The play is sponsored
by the K-State Black Stu-
dent Union and the K State
Hispanic American Leader
ship Organization in an ef-
fort to bring the Latino and
Black communities togeth-
er The play is also a part of
black history month events
at K State.
The production is set
in New York City at Hunter
Collepe during the timeline
of a student body president
election. The play addresses
stereotypes, prejudices and
urban myths that exist be-
tween Blacks and Latinos,
within the context of hip-
hop and humor, according
to a press release.
"Our goal is to create
awareness of the issues that
come with interracial dat-
ing." said Bryon Williams,
BSU president and senior
in economies "We think
the topic is relevant to the
things going on in society,"
he said

Uriel Estrada, president
of HALO and senior in sec-
ondary education, said BSU
and HALO always have
wanted to collaborate, and
he is glad their ideas are
materializing with this play.
"I think it provides a
great balance between the
black and Latino culture."
Estrada added.
The name, platanos for
the Spanish word for ba-
nanas and collard greens
for the traditional Black
soul food dish, hints toward
the eclectic mix and divide
of cultures the audience will
experience during the play
"The play brings to-
gether two very diverse cul-
tures, and we may not get to
see that a lot throughout K-
State," Estrada said "I think
it provides a great balance
between the black and Lati-
no culture."
According to a New
York Times review, "The
particulars of the storyline
have made the play quite
popular on college campus
es, where Mr Lamb is typi-
cally asked to stage it at the
invitation of student minor
ity groups In the past few
years. Platanos & Collard
Greens' has been produced
at more than 100 colleges
and universities across the
country, including Prince
ton, Cornell and Wesleyan "

Local police officer enjoys instilling values
in large family through home schooling
By Jtnrta Scavuzzo
KANSAS STATS COl.LKCIAN
Though many would
think a family almost twice
the size of the Brady Bunch
would be overly chaotic and
stressful, one Manhattan
family cannot imagine life
any differently
Riley County Police De-
partment Lt. Kurt Moldrup
and his wife, Sue, have 11
children and two grandchil-
dren.
Kurt said creating and
raising such a large, tight-
knit family is the best deci-
sion he ever made He said
everything he does revolves
around his wife and children,
who are ages 22. 21, 20, 18,
16, 14, 12, 10, 5, 2 and seven
months, and all have names
beginning with the letter "J,"
"Everything 1 do is for my
family." Kurt said. My wife
and children are No 1 in my
life - everything else comes
secondary to them Having a
close family is very important
to us. We do a lot together,
and all our kids are very close
to each other."
Kurt said he believes rais-
ing godly children with great
character is his purpose in
life. He said equipping them
with the strong beliefs and a
nature he and his wife think
they should have is how he
determines personal success.
"I want to be able lo give
them the knowledge, char-
acter and faith to be able to
do whatever God calls them
to do," Kurt said. "I consider
my children ambassadors for
Christ; whatever their calling
or job task is, I want to equip
them to be able to honor God
in everything they do ."'
Kurt and his wife decid-
ed that home schooling their
1 1 children was the best way
to create this godly and hon-
orable character they wanted
each one of their children to
possess
Kurt said though it is not
easy, he thinks the advantages
of home schooling over pub-
lic schooling are numerous,
and he said he thinks the best
education he and his wife can
give to their children is one
they provided themselves
He said he and his wife
can give the education best
for each individual child, and
he thinks his wife can tailor
education to each individu-
al need, which he says public
schooling cannot do.
"God gave us the respon-
sibility to raise our children
and pass on faith and good
character," Kurt said. "No one
can do that as well as parents
There is an infinite amount
of knowledge out there, and
we'll decide what we think is
most important for them to
learn We have more to teach
them than what schools can
teach them."
All his children take the
state-standardized tests to
determine in which area each
child needs attention, Kurt
said.
He said homeschooling
up until their college years
has worked out great, and
he has two children who at
tend K-State. His 21 -year
old is graduating in May and
already has a job settled at
Lockheed Martin in Wash-
ington. DC
Kurt's wife agreed home
schooling has wurked out
wonderfully for her family.
"The main reason we de-
cided to home school our
children is for character, and
everyone is doing very well,"
Sue said. "1 appreciate the
time 1 have with them and in
teracting with them on such
a close-knit level I've been
able to watch my kids grow
up all the way through their
high-school years, which is
something a lot of parent,*
don't get to do I have no re
grets at all."
Kurt said being a (ami
ly man has positively molded
his life into what it is, and he
cannot imagine what it would
be like tc not be married or
have so many children
"Being married is great
- it's about having your best
friend with you through ev
erything," Kurt said "1 can't
even put into words what be
ing a dad is, though.
"Raising children who
are good citizens and have a
strong faith in God is the best
contribution I can give to the
world My impact with my
family will be lasting. My wife
and 1 have a great marriage
too, which sets up a great ex-
ample for our kids"
Kurt said he and his wife
were married on Nov 19,
1983. He said they met when
they were K- Slate students
through Ichthus, a campus
ministry
He was also a houseboy
at Sue's sorority, Chi Omega
Sue invited him to one of Chi
Omega's date parties, and
they fell in love, Kurt said
Kurt said he and his fam-
ily have a very active house-
hold with so many children.
and that there is always some-
one around and something to
do.
"Having so many kids is
a lot of fun and a lot of work."
Kurt said. "Without them, my
life would be boring.

progress
needed for
successful
Olympics
With just a few months
remaining before the 2008
Olympic Games, big strides
have been
made lo pre-
pare host-
city Bei
ling fur this
year's games.
The games
will run
from Aug
8-24, and
the Commu-
nist Party of
China hopes
to showcase
I he country, whose markets
and athletes are already cov-
eted on a regular basis by en-
tities and countries around
the world.
To prepare for the games,
12 new venues have been
constructed. 1 1 have been
renovated and eight tempo-
rary venues have been built.
Also, lo counter the purport
ed 500.000 lo 550,000 vis
itctrs who will flock to this
year's Olympics, the city of
Beijing is not slouching con-
struction- wise Many new
stories on the official Olym-
pic Web site proudly tout the
construction as green friend-
ly, but with the reports of
continued air pollution and
other infrastructure issues,
questions as to the validity of
those claims need to be re-
solved or else it will be fur-
ther proof the claims are just
baseless propaganda.
Beijing Capital Interna-
tional Airport is being up-
graded and enlarged, as well
as the city's subway line,
which is being expanded and
is expected to open those
portions by July of this year.
Also, the crown jewel of this
year's ceremonies. Beijing's
National Stadium, is set to
open next month and should
undoubtedly awe the world
with its unique architecture,
which inspired the nickname
"The Bird's Nest."
All of this progress is
definitely something to be
proud of, but there are still
issues at hand that might
put a damper on the games.
Jacques Rogge, Internation-
al Olympic Committee pres-
ident, has raised concerns
that some of the endurance
sports might need to be de-
layed a Few days because of
air pollution.
"It would not be nec-
essary for all sports," (tog
ge told the London Times
in Aug 2007 Sports with
short durations would not be
a problem. But definitely the
endurance sports like the cy-
cling race, where you have to
compete for six hours, are ex-
amples of competitions that
might be postponed or de-
layed to another day"
Randy Wilber, the lead
exercise physiologist for the
United States Olympic Com
mittee, has even gone as far
as to suggest arriving in Bei-
jing as late as possible, ac-
cording to a January article
in The New York Times
Some of Wilber s oth-
er ideas include having the
athletes wear specifically de-
signed masks from arrival in
Beijing until they compete
and testing Olympians to see

KANSAS STATE COLLEGIAN
Bob Boozer is a K-State leg-
end from the days when Ahearn
Field House used to give oppo-
nents nightmares and basket-
ball was synonymous with the
Wildcats He was an All-Ameri-
can forward, leading K-State to
the Pinal Pour in 1958. He holds
the record for scoring average
in a season, when he averaged
25 6 points through 27 games in
1959.
Following his years at
K-State. he was the No 1 NBA
draft pick to the Cincinnati Roy
als in 1959 He spent 13 years in
the NBA He also was a part of
the 1960 US Olympic basketball
team, which won the gold medal
during the Summer Olympics in
Rome, Italy. Boozer recently sat
down with the Collegian to dis-
cuss the Wildcats' recent success
on the court

•Freshman team statistics not available
What has been your overall im-
pression?
I've been impressed with Michael
Beasley, of course, because of his
size and his ability to put the ball
on the floor and go to the hoop
He's got a nice, soft touch, and
there's no question that he's go-
ing to be able to go to the next
level. It's just a matter of when
Would Beasley be able to go to
the NBA right now?
Well, from my own interpret a-
tion and from my background,
certainly. 1 would like to see him
finish at Kansas State. But with
that kind of talent, it's one and
dune, but that's me speaking.
You risk injury, you risk blowing
out an Achilles or tearing a mus-
cle that doesn't heal back prop-
erly, It's a lot of pressure with
kids these days with the money
they're throwing around.
How about your impression of
this freshman class? You have
Walker, Sutton and Pullen.
Walker plays like a man amongst
boys. He's a talent also. It's an
impressive class, so it's nice to
see Kansas State get some play-
ers to inch them way Up lo the
top of the Big 12
What have been your thoughts
on Frank Martin so far?
I don't analyze coaches. I ana-
lyze ballplayers I like the ball-
players because the ballplayers
are who gets it done in the court.
The talent is here, so obviously,
the coaches are getting it done.
Who do you see as being the
most successful in the NBA?
Both Michael Beasley and Bill
Walker.
When you hear these rowdy
Bramlage Coliseum crowds,
does it ever bring you back to
the days of Ahearn?
Absolutely. These fans used la lilt
the roof at Ahearn, It was quile a
place to play, and the fans have
always been great here at Kansas
State. You can't say enough good

Meatless menu
Vegetarians, vegans explore healthy options
By Hannah Bkk
KANSAS STATt. i.UUi.l.lAN
In s world in which the beautiful are synony-
mous with the thin, we are surrounded by diets
From those infamous New Year's and spring-
break vows of strict dieting to the ever-popular
consumer diets like Atkins and South Beach,
there is no escaping them
Dieters cut carbs, force themselves to order
spinach, and most often, find their lives are al-
ready stressful enough without having to worry
about how many unwanted calories are in each
delicious M&M.
But what if there was a diet that required its
followers to sacrifice just one type of food - a
food that often is not even appealing to them?
Kate Killingsworth said she believes she has
found the diet, or rather, lifestyle, that is perfect
for her - she is a vegetarian
"I just feel healthier, 1 can't even explain it,"
she said "I definitely have more energy"
A HEALTHY DECISION
Killingsworth, sophomore in pre-occupation-
al therapy, said she stopped eating red meats and
chicken about three yean ago because she want-
ed to cut back on saturated fats and cholesterol.
She said she still eals seafood
"1 just don't like to eat anything 1 can pel," she
said. "1 know that sounds weird, but that's just
how I feel It bothers me"
Mary Meek Higgins, associate professor in
human nutrition and nutrition specialist for K
State Research and Extension, said many people
have misconceptions about meatless diets, and
most don't understand the difference between a
vegetarian and a vegan.
She said there are several variations of vege-
tanaiis. but that most of them simply choose not
to eat certain kinds of meats, like beef or poul-
try
Vegans, however, typically choose not to cat
any form of meat, including seafood or even
animal products like eggs, cheese or milk, Hig-
gins said. She also said some vegans go so far as
to boycott leather products and refusing to eat
pi ant -type foods like fruits.
"Many vegans object to the killing and mis
treatment of animals, whereas most vegetarians
are in it for the health benefits," she said. "But
everyone has their own personal reason for what
they choose."
Higgins, also a registered dietician, said she
has worked on research projects that help peo
pie pursue a vegetarian or vegan diet in a healthy
way She said she also consults with meadess di-
eters and urges them to consider the nulrilional
aspect of the decision
"When someone changes their diet and cuts
out an entire food group, they need to think
about the nutritional status." Higgins said "Most
people don't really think about it as much as they
should, and that's when you run into unhealthy
habits.
"It's just really important to think about what
nutrients the meat provides and then learn how
to appropriately replace them with healthy op-
tions. It's very possible You just have lo make it
a routine, like with anything

Finding something to order at a restaurant can be difficult for vegetarian Katt Killingsworth. sophomore
in pre -occupational therapy, but restaurants like Subway and Chiles offer healthy, meatless options at
reasonable prices
Killingsworth sophomore in pre occupational therapy, looks over the menu at Chili's. She said Chilis'
hl.Kk bean burger is perfect for vegetarians.
MAKING IT WORK
S beryl Klobasa, registered dietician and unit
directot lor Kramer Dining Center, said the on-
eampns dining centers are willing to work with
Students who have special diets to provide them
healthy options at every meal. She also said
Kramer has a comment box located in the dm
ing center tot students to voice their concerns
about a lack til the bodn ihev need.
Ul' have a lot it) offer, but maybe it's still no)
what they want," dM tsid That's when we take
the comments seriously and try and communi-
cate about whai they might like in Ml
Killingsworth said she has not been in many
situations where she had no vegetarian options
available She lived in Moure HM laf 1 1 oilman

MUSIC REVIEW
New Smashing Pumpkins EP brings great balance to latest album
"American Gothic"
•••••
Rtvttw by Alii Pt ik
I picture Billy Corgan of
the Smashing Pumpkins jusl
sitting around with bandmale
[immy Chamberlin. Corgan's
tipping his chair, scratching
the back of his bald head
saying, "So, Jimmy, we have
the extra four songs from
Zeitgeist." Should we just
keep playing them randomly
at shows, or make a buck and
sell them through iTunes'"
That's how I see il hap-
pening, anyway
According to an interview
with Uncut Magazine, Cor-
gan said he had written extra
material during tours and
residencies in San Francisco
in late 2007
"Fans kept asking us if
we were gonna pui any of
that stuff out," Corgan said.
■'iTunes came to us wanting
to do something together, so
il just felt right"
After much anticipation
from fans (and finger crossing
for sounds better than Zwan's
"Mary Star of the Sea" and
other late Pumpkins' albums),
"Zeitgeist" was released in
July 2007. It was just what
Smashing Pumpkins fans
needed - something refresh-
ingly new but still comfort-
able and akin to the old
Pumpkins' raucous sound
The new EP "American
Gothic," though slightly un-
expected, is a great compli-
ment to the rest of the new
album Songs "March Rose,"
"Again, Again, Again," "Pox"
and "Sunkissed" are softer
ballads, compared to the hard
rock of "Tarantula," "Bleed
the Orchid" and "United
Slates" on "Zeitgeist " The
EP reflects sounds similar to
Pumpkins' older songs like
"Tonight, Tonight." "1979"
and "Perfect."
As il seems a blind pat-
tern for the group, many
sleeper tunes appear on EPs
or singles Examples of these
buried gulden nuggets include
songs "Once in a While"
from ihe "Ava Adore" single
and "God" which appeared
on lite "Zero" single. These
songs trump the quality of
other leading songs, but un-
less you're an avid fan you
probably don't even know
they exist Some of the band's
best material is hidden on
EPs and singles that often are
released in small quantities
and usually not internation-
ally.
As a Smashing Pumpkins'
connoisseur (i.e. owning
every album and nearly every
single and EP, having been
less than half an inch from
Corgan and traveling as far
as Baltimore to see the group
... and not to forget, waiting
in line for 12 hours to get
tickets, considering Corgan a
teenage heartthrob and paint-
ing lyrics to songs and an
album cover on iny bedroom
walls during my teen-angst
years). I think the enmbi-
nation ol the two releases
("Zeitgeist" and "American
Gut hie") make for a wonder-
ful balance between the hard-
rock grunge and the amour-
filled lyrics fans have come to
expect and appreciate
Despite only having two
remaining members from the
original Pumpkins troupe,
nothing can compete against
the talent of drummer Cham-
berlin and singer/songwritfr''
guitarist/ringleader Corgan.
Who knows whether they't*
doing it for the music or for '
the extra moolah Either way,
they're doing it, and they're
doing il well
Fans just have to wince
and try lo forget about the
last few painful duds the
Pumpkins slipped out and
trust they got their act togeth-
er this time

TO THE EDITOR
Readers respond to gun-control column
Editor,
Tin writing ui response to
less leu Hcnsley's "Stricter gun
control needed to decrease
school shoutings" column pub-
lished Feb 14 Her position that
further gun regulation would
liuve prevented the latest school
si looting specifically - and put
HI end to gun violence general
ly - is entirely unfounded.
HensiVj doesn't reference
a particular shooting, but one
could presume she's referring
!i> \u\ Uxnard. Calif., incident
involving the fatal shooting of
a 15 year old boy shortly after
classes began Police will not re-
lease details ol tfie exact make
ajid model of the firearm used,
or how it was obtained - only
that it was a black handgun
Hensley's column implies
stricter gun regulation would
have kept the weapon out ot
the culprit's hands as "the vast
minority of guns used in dead-
ly crimes were purchased legal-
ly." Absolutely no FPL dealer in
the United Slates would sell a
handgun to any person under
21, regardless of background
checks or waiting periods It is
only speculation at this point,
hut the shooter probably stole
the handgun from his father's
collection Even if he had no
access lo firearms, his commit-
ment to acting on the other stu-
dent would have motivated him
to use a common kitchen knife
out of necessity. As the old ad-
age goes, "Guns don't kill peo-
ple, people kill people."
Those necessary gun-con-
trol laws want lo remove ev
ery firearm from public owner-
ship fur us to reach that perfect
uiopia gun opponents dream of
The harsh reality is public dis
armament leads lo tragedy Brit-
ain saw a 300-percent increase
in violent crime after its hand-
gun ban was in effect, while
Switzerland enjoys a relative
peace with issued service rifles
iii homes Hie firearm abuse
problem can't be resolved with
more regulation, but by better
public education and responsi
bility by legal gun owners
A reactionary response to
gun crime and public shootings
is not tighter gun control but
more widespread enactment of
conceal-and-carry. Criminals
have a field day when their vic-
tims are unarmed as demon
straled In Britain's case, and the
psychological pffect n\ armed
victims serves as a successful
deterrent with no shols fired
Armed citizens could have lim
itcd the body count at Virgin
ia Tech as well as the recent
mall and city council shootings
far more effectively than mure
faulty legislation
Hensley and other gun op-
ponents in the media and polit
ical offices must educate them-
selves on the facts of gun crime
and failed legislation before
spewing more propaganda

Editor,
I am writing in response to
the articMby [essiea Hensley in
nftfd lo stricter gun -control
laws In her column, she claims
(trictW gun laws will prevent
school shootings This follows
I patten ui the media Irving to
plant the blame somewhere af
(tr one nf these tragedies While
stricter gun laws might delay or
prevent children from obtaining
a weapon, il does nut address
the issue ihe media can control
Tile media has made these
shooters into idols for out-
cast children, and has. in their
minds, glorified the shooter's
actions to make my point. I ask
yuu to name the victims of the
Columbine shoutings Come up
with anything"' How about the
shooters' names 7 You probahly
can name them The same goes
with the Virginia Tech shoot
iugs Mosl i an tit least describe
the shooter, but the names and
faces of the victims are lost.
The press needs to accept
responsibility for its actions
One can't make the point of re
striding the Second Amend-
ment without addressing how
the use uf the First Amendment
has created a problem too All
1 ask is that in the future, the
media focus on the victims and
leave the details of the shoot-
ers to fade intu history This
might prevent the glorification
uf these heinous events

emption Id vim.' an asthma

potential exercise-induced
asthma attacks that could
seriously alter gold medal
hopes fur any contender
"It could mean the dif-
ference between a gold med-
al and finishing in the back
of the pack." Wilber said in
the article.
Other concerns include
the lack of drinkable tap wa-
ter outside the Olympic Vil
lage Bi Xiaogang, vice di-
rector general of the Beijing
Water Management Bureau,
told USA Today in May 2007
the quality of water is altered
during the transfer process.
"We are still working on
upgrading the secondary fa-
cilities." Xiaogang said. "But
in the Olympic Village we
will provide safe drinking
waler from the tap"
There is no need to di-
minish the level of prog-
ress that has been achieved
in preparing Beijing for the
2008 Olympic Games, but
continued diligence is a must
to ensure success. Delaying
events a few days because of
air quality is unacceptable,
and the efforts to improve on
air pollution must not cease
at the Olympics.
That issue, coupled with
the quality of water and the
constant overtones of human
rights violation by the rul-
ing Communist Party, must
be heeded and changed Is-

ders.
For the world to truly
support this year's Olympics,
changes must be made and
basic human rights must be

only ensure a more success-

DIETS I Eating habits
affect seizures
Continued from Pige 1
Ketones are chemical by-
products from the body break-
ing down protein and other
fatty acids. Doubek said the
two children whose diets she
supervises are two and four
years old. Both these children
have taken anti-convulsion
drugs and not gotten the de-
sired results.
"These children have tried
medications and have failed,"
Doubek said "IThe children
suffer) 5 1° 80 percent less
seizures [because of the diet]"
According to the Johns
Hopkins study, patients who
successfully completed the
six-month trial diet experi-
enced a 50 -percent reduc-
tion in the number of seizures
The diet required patients to
eat less than 1 5 grams of car-
bohydrates a day The rest of
the calorie intake was to come
from fats and proteins
The study reported af-
ter three months on the diet,
one-third of the patients had
dropped out of the study, stat-
ing the diet was too difficult to
follow
Ferrara said the diet
sounded odd.
"1 would try it if [the
diet | wasn't totally ridiculous
sounding," she said "There's
all kinds of weird diets. There's
one where you just eat bacon,
and there's one where you
don't eat sugar at all (for con-
trolling seizures)"
DoaMt said it requires
a little creativity to keep the
children interested in sticking
to the diet The diet is also not
designed to be life long.
"My children drink whip-
ping cream instead of milk."
Doubek said "The long term
plan is they will only be on this
diet for two to three years. It
diminishes the seizures for the
rest of their life"
According to the Centers
for Disease Control, epilepsy
affects 2 7 million Americans
The CDC defines epilepsy as
"a general term that includes
various types of seizures "
To be diagnosed as epilep-
tic, a patient must suffer more
than one seizure episode and
more than one type of seizure.
The CDC reported more
than one-third of epilepsy pa-
tients still have seizures while
receiving treatments.

these staff members are able
to have a deeper grasp on
problems truly bothering stu-
dents. Social-networking sites
like Facebooh.com have also
helped staff leam more about
residents who might need
help
"On Facebook, I know
when someone ends a re-
lationship And sometimes
that's a good time to step up
and talk to someone and ask,
'How are you doing'"'
PHONE & INTERNET
MEDIA
While Facebook might
be an effective way to reach
out to students, new technol-
ogy like the Internet and cel-
lular phones are avenues the
university plans to take ad-
vantage of, especially with
younger generations hooked
to these services
One of these new tech
nologies include K- State's
emergency text-message sys-
tem, which was implement-
ed last month. Nearly 4,500
students and faculty are sub-
scribed to the new system,
reaching about 13 percent of
those eligible for the service,
said Rob Caffey, organizer of
the text-message system and
director of the Office of Me
dialed Education.
"We'd like to tie this in
some better ways with the
overall strategy," Caffey said.
"We'd like to extend the types
of notifications we can make
it available more broadly to
more people."
Though thousands of
more students and faculty are
eligible to use the text-mes
sage program, a majority of
the student body is reached
through a combination of ser-
vices.
"I see it as one method
among many methods that
the university would use to get
our message out if there was a
serious emergency." said Carla
Jones, assistant vice president
and senior associate dean of
student life "I would feel I
would be in touch with our
students much more quickly
It would give us a broad range
of people to contact. ] think
that its presence on the cam-
pus is going to be significantly
important to us. "
CAMPUS POLICE
It's important not to un-
dermine the power of on-
campus safety, said Andrew
Glazier, senior in social sci-
ences He said after speaking
with on -campus police this
past week, he learned the sta-
tion is severely understaffed.
"When a dispatcher is
sick, they take a police officer
off the streets and put them in
that dispatcher's place," Gla
zier said "A police officer
is taken off the streets, who
could be protecting our stu-
dents We need more support
staff for the police to help
them out. to make our cam-
pus safe"
POST-TRAUMA
ASSISTANCE
Though panelists agree
that K-Stale has taken many
steps toward addressing po-
tential tragedies like at N1U,
there are a number of servic-
es available in response to cri-
sis
"We all work togeth-
er very closely together and
communicate," said Heath
er Reed, assistant dean of stu-
dent life "We have good poli-
cies and great support servic-
es for our students."
Rtcd said the Office of
Student Life has counsel-
ors available to anyone who
needs assistance dealing with
last week's tragedy at N1U h
lost week's tragedy at NIU.
BUDGET | Proposal

college and provide grants
for students who really
need it ."
Moeder said the Per-
kins Loan is a revolving fed
eral loan fund
This means the govern
ment makes a capital con-
tribution to a university and
the university matches 25
percent of that.
Students then pay back
their loans plus interest
to the university, and the
school can use that mon-
ey to distribute more loans,
Moeder said
"If there is no money
coming in (from the govern
ment|, then there is also no
match," Moeder said
Family income deter-
mines how much money a
student can receive from a
Pell Grant, Moeder said It
was increasing by $42 1 per
year per eligible student up
until the 2006-07 school
year, when the maximum
Pell Grant reached $4,050
Moeder said the maximum
grant for the 2008-09 school
year will be $4.731 ; the min-
imum will be $890
"Any increase students
can receive is great," Moed-
er said "Hopefully we'll
find some way to provide
that assistance without hav-
ing to cut ulher student aid
programs"
John Filter, associate
professor in political sci-
ence, said Bush's propos-
al will have to undergo (he
scrutiny of congressional
committees and subcom-
mittees before Congress can
consider passing it. He said
this process could take up
to a year
"I would imagine it will
come up against a lot of op
position from the Demo-
crats." Filter said
Brittany Foster, sopho-
more in apparel and textile
design, is a Pell Grant recip-
ient She said her mother is
putting her sister through
private school right now, so
the budget proposal would
affect her But she said the
Pell Grant increase does
not seem very large
"I'm trying to take out
as many loans and grants
as I can so |my mom| won't
have to pay for my school,"
Foster said.

attitude, Jones said the system
could be rather confusing for
other first-time users. She ini-
tially signed up for the service
this past month but thinks she
accidentally unsubscribed to
the service via text message
Jones and other text -mes-
sage officials said throughout
this first phase of the text sys-
tem, they plan to get through
as many problems as possi-
ble. The university plans to
send test text messages twice
a year, with the first test text
on Feb 27.
"It gives students an op-
portunity to feel like the uni-
versity is going to notify
them if there is an emergen
cy," Jones said, "and I think
brings the comfort level up
lor students, as well as facul-
ty/staff and parents and fam-
ilies who would not have to
worry about their child gel-
ting information .."
OTHER SAFETY PLANS
Though on-campus safe-
ty is a priority throughout the
university, Derek |ackson. as-
sociate director of housing
and dining services, said it's
especially a concern in the
residence halls
"You know, when you
think about the Virginia Tech
situation, that was a student
that lived in the building,
that lived on campus," Jack-
son said. "That was internal,
so a lot of focus is, 'how do
we identify students thai are
in crisis?"*
Jackson said Housing
and Dining Services hires a
number of on-site profession
als and student staff with ex
perience mediating crisis sit
uations Residence hall staffs
are trained to work with res-
idents, learn about their be-
haviors and identify any po-
tential problems
If the text -message sys
tent fails, Jackson said he is
confident about the multiple
emergency systems in place
at K-State. Since the Virgin
ia Tech tragedy, the residence
halls have increased securi-
ty measures with door-access
systems and late-night check-
ing Jackson said he hopes the
extra security measures will
make life safer for students.
"A lot of our students
aren't familiar with Manhat-
tan, so they are coming into
an environment that they
don't have a lot of context in,"
Jackson said. "Consequent-
ly, they are asking those kind
of questions like. 'Where do
1 need to go? How do 1 find
the best path to-and-from
class? Who are my friends?
Who am I going to relate tn' 1 '
"Security is a piece of the
puzzle as students leam their
way around K-State"

Bill Snyder rejuvenated the
thinking of football here, but
it's always been considered a

reason, always seems to be

ty of healthy entrees she could

Now an in-house mem-

KiUingsworth said she never

"[The sorority | has al-

They're always willing to co
operate"
When it comes to eating
out, KiUingsworth said most
restaurants offer plenty of op-
lions for vegetarians and veg-
ans, so it hasn't been too diffi-
cult for her to live her life just
as normally as she did prior to

BOND
NAACP
Chairman
to speak
Thursday
By Sheila Ellis
KANSAS STATE COLLEGIAN
Julian Bond, chairman of
the National Association for
the Advancement of Colored
People, will
give the key-
note lecture
for K-State's
Black His
tory Month
events at 7
p.m Thurs
day in the K-
State Alumni
Center Ball
room
Bond
will address the nearly cen-
tury-long history of the
NAACP, which has fought for
social justice for minorities
everywhere Bond also will
review the history of the civil
rights movement and the cur-
rent fight for equal opportu-
nity in America, according to
a press release from K-State
Media Relations.
Bond's speech will co-
incide with the Black Histo-
ry Month theme of K-State's
Black Student Union, "Rais-
ing the Bar: Connecting our
Past Progress with our Future
Ambitions"
Bryon Williams, presi-
dent of BSU, said the Rev.
Al Sharpton came to K-State
in 2004 to promote his pres-
idential bid and Bond will be
the next black speaker of his
caliber to come to K-State.
"{Bond | was really in-
fluential in the civil rights
movement - he was there
with Dr. King," Williams, se-
nior in economics, said.
Williams said Bond's
speech will be relevant to
current minority issues in the
IS, like (he jena 6 and Hur
ricane Katrina
The civil rights activist
will have a question and-an
swer session after the lecture.
Bond will be available for
photos, in the Tointon Great
Room in the Alumni Center
at a reception following the
lecture.
"If you want a first-per-
son account of the civil rights
movement, it is definitely the
time and place to get it," Wil-
liams said
Calorie confusion

100-packs might not help people lose weight
ByElisePodhajsky
KANSAS STATE COLLKCIAN
It might come as little surprise that the U.S.
has one of the highest obesity rates in the world.
In fact, it came in at No. 9 on Forbes* 2007 list of
the World's Fattest Countries, citing 74.1 percent
of its citizens over the age of 15 as overweight
"We've got food everywhere." said Mary
Meek Higgins, associate professor of human
nutrition, "and it's not very expensive, and we
dont get much physical activity. I think people
realize it's a problem, but 1 don't know if people
understand how to solve it."
Besides getting more exercise and eating
more healthily, Higgins said people need to start
appropriately portioning their meals.
However, she said she understood that some
eating habits are hard to break, like completely
cutting out cookies and chips. This is where Na-
bisco 100 calorie packs, packaged snacks that
have exactly 100 calories, and companies with
similar products are supposed to come in But
do they really help with portion control, or are
they just part of a marketing scheme to monop-
olize on America's recent health craze?
"A lot of times, people snack on (junk foods}
and they're not really paying attention," Higgins
said. "They're eating mindlessly, putting their
hand up and down and might be watching TV,
studying, reading, eating in the car and if they
had to open package after package to get more
than 100 calorics, it might enter their conscious
lies'- If you're eating three or four [100 calo-
rie packs], it's a lot easier to realize how much
you're actually eating."
But Higgins said it's just as easy to snack
on something much healthier that also contains
about 100 calories
She said foods like fresh fruits and vegcta
blcs usually come in 100 calorie packages, but
people lend not to think of those options be-
cause the foods that are advertised are generally
unhealthy
"You don't see a lot of ads for apples or ba-
nanas." she said.
Marketing companies recognize this as
well as the country's growing concern about its
health, said Kevin Gwinner, professor of mar
keting. So what these companies are trying to do
now is keep profits up by making products more
appealing by appearing healthier
According to an j4BChMtfs.com article by
Christi Myers, many 100-calorie packs are free
of trans fats and low in sugar, but they are still
highly processed and should not be confused as
a nutritious snack. The article said consumers
are also paying much more for this package of
much less food.
"With a full bag of pretzels, the cost is about
17 cents an ounce," Myers said in the article. "Di-
vided into 100-calorie packs, the same pretzels
cost nearly 40 cents an ounce, more than dou-
ble"
Gwinner said the way>companies like Na
bisco are able to raise the price per ounce is by
justifying the sale of convenience.
" Rather than making your own 1 00- [calorie)
packs out of Ziploc bags, which you'd also have
to pay for, they're doing that (or you," he said
"The question is. is it worth it to the consumer?
... What those companies are betting on is that
added convenience of packaging the product in
that smaller size will be worth enough for the
consumer to be able to pay the extra amount."
Nikki Kralzer, freshman in history, said she
doesn't mind paying more for the packaging
Kratzer said she tries to remain conscious of her
daily calorie intake, and having snacks like 100-
calorie packs help her stay on track
"If you're not paying attention," she said,
"then sometimes you go overboard . Foods that
are really spelled out for you make it a lot easi-
er"
But Higgins said the best step toward better
eating hahits and a healthier lifestyle is not by
spending more to eat less, but by actively think-
ing about what kinds of foods and how much of
them students are actually eating.
She said to make meal portions on small-
er dishes, like saucers, and eat six small meals a
day, so that the urge to snack is never even an is-

KANSAS STATE C0LIEG1AN
Campus salety and stu-
dent parking were some of the
topics discussed al the student
body vice presidential debate
Tuesday in the K State Stu-
dent Union Courtyard. The
debate consisted of questions
from a moderator and an open
session for the audience to ask
questions
With the recent health is-
sues that have affected the K
State student body, such as flu
and bronchitis, Lafene Health
Center was one of the major
topics addressed during the de-
bate.
Candidates Piper 11 us kins
and Robert Swift agreed thai
Lafene has room for improve-
ment as far as serving K-State
"We definitely feel that
Lafene needs to be evaluated,"
Swift, junior in political science.
said Swift said Lafene serves
many students well, but he and
his running mate would like to
see a few things change

Sen. proposes 3 strikes legislation
By Amanda Keim
KANSAS STATE COLLEGIAN
The baseball phrase
"three strikes and you're out"
might soon apply to anyone
charged with committing three
or more felonies in the state of
Kansas Sen Derek Schmidt
has proposed legislation that
would prevent repeat offend-
ers of nonviolent crimes from
receiving bail
"The problem we're try-
ing to fix is repeat property of-
fenders." said Schmidt, a Re-
publican from Independence.
"In Kansas, we've done a very
good job of moving violent of-
fenders up on the priority list
in terms of prison space The
state has consistently moved
property violators lower. It
can be very difficult for Kan-
sans to go to prison for prop-
erty theft, and a lot of peo
pie who commit those crimes
know that it's a hole in the sys-
tem. I think most Kan sans are
shocked when they find that a
person can be convicted time
and time again of a felony and
never go to prison."
Schmidt said the legisla-
tion is being considered in a
subcommittee of the Judiciary
Committee
This proposal differs
greatly from traditional three
strikes legislation, said Ryan
Spohn, assistant professor
of sociology. The most basic
model is the one used in Cal-
ifornia, which often semem-
es individuals to a life prison
term and can create a heavy
burden on the prison svstem.
"What (Schmidt's) try-
ing to do is say that upon the
third property felony, proba-
tion is not an option," Spohn
said "It's shifting discretion
away from judges, and deci-
sions will be made by the leu
islature The sentencing judge
will know a lot more about the
specific case, so you are losing
out on the knowledge and ex-
perience of a sentencing judge
when you pass a mandatory
sentencing bill like this"
Several other concerns,
including prison space, have
also come up during the legis-
lative process
Schmidt said lie believes
his proposition will simply re-
quire some balance,
"I think it has a lot of
support. The difficulty is, of
course, that it requires a lot of
prison space and that's why
we got into this box in the lirsi
place," he said 'The legisla
ture has been unwilling lo pn >
vide the amount of space re-
quired to enforce this law. It's
going to be a balance between
real consequence and willing-
ness to pay for additional pris-
oner capacity"
Schmidt said there are
approximately 400 unfilled
prison beds throughout Kan-
sas. He also said that permis-
sion has been granted to ex-
pand the El Dorado Correc-
tional Facility, in El Dorado,
Kan., if needed.
"There is room avail-
able now and authority to
add room," Schmidt said. "We
think that makes this the per-
fect time to consider"
Spohn said he still was
concerned about the legisla-
tion.
"Are prisons intended for
property offenders or danger-
ous offenders?" Spohn said.
What Schmidt is believing
here is that this is a harsh pun-
ishment and that this will serve
as a deterrent, but if you take
a property offender and throw
them in prison with a bunch of
violent offenders, what is go-
ing to happen? It's not very
likely to make them a better
person What would Schmidt
suggest to integrate this person
back into society?"
Though Schmidt said
there is enough room in pris-
ons and believes this legisla-
tion would deter property of
fenders from repeatedly com-
mitting offenses, some still be-
lieve there is more work to do
when finalizing this proposal

RCPD blames population growth for crime rate increase
By Corene Brlwndin*
KANSAS STATE COLLEGIAN
Riley County crime rates
have increased over the past
few years, according to the
U.S. justice Department Bu-
reau of Justice St aU tics
Lt. Kurt Moldrup of the
Riley County Police Depart-
ment said Manhattan has
lower crime rates compared
to other cities with similar
populations.
According to the BJS.
Manhattan does not have the
lowest among the nation's
crime rates, but it is signifi-
cantly less than others.
Moldrup said the crime
rate has increased over the
past few years because of
population increases and
Manhattan becoming more of
an attraction for surrounding
communities
"There's more people
around," Moldrup said. "Any-
time you have more people,
you are going to have more
victim*."
Moldrup said the RCPD
has responded to the increase
of crime by increasing the size
of its force, becoming more
involved with the community
and increasing the number of
officers involved with Prob
lem Oriented Policing.
POP is designed to gel
the community members in-
volved in their neighborhoods
with neighborhood watch
programs
Police also educate rcsi
dents on ways they can help
protect their neighborhoods
"(The RCPD) is not just
trying to be reactive, but pro-
active," Moldrup said "We
have been trying to get the
community involved
RCPD director Bradley
Schoen announced a Citi-
zen's Police Academy for any
interested community mem-
bers during a Law Board
meeting Tuesday afternoon.
Schoen said anyone who
wants to participate should
contact the RCPD.
While the board reviewed
the fourth quarter crime sta-
tistics. A I Johnson. Law Board
chairman, asked about the sig-
nificant increase in auto acci-
dents in 2007
Johnson also raised con-
cern about the increase in
auto thefts and inquired as to
whether there was a possible
auto-theft ring in Manhattan.
RCPD Capt Jeff Hooper
said 71 of the accidents were
weather related
As for the possibility of
an auto-theft ring, all but
three vehicles have been re-
covered.
The recovered vehicles
showed no signs of stolen
parts as evidence of theft-ring
involvement.
County Attorney Barry
Wilkerson prosecuted 1,162
criminal cases in 2006 and
1,183 cases in 2007
Wilkerson said the num-
ber of cases prosecuted par-
tially has to do with the in-
crease of population, but more
because of the age group that
has joined the community.
"In the population of 18-
to 26-year-olds, you see a lot
of bad judgment used," Wilk-
erson said "People [between
18 and 26 j make themselves
more vunerable to criminal
activity."
Wilkerson said drug
abuse and binge drinking
among this age group is a
problem in Manhattan In a
study Wilkerson performed
by looking at court cases from
1990 to 1998, he said 88 per
cent of the cases involving vi-
olent crimes, such as rape and
murder, drugs or alcohol were
involved
"My impression is there
has been an increase in drug
and alcohol abuse," Wilker-
son said. "The abuse has con-
tributed to the increase in
crime."
Along with violent crime,
Wilkerson said property crime
involves drugs and alcohol.
Unemployed addicts are
more likely to steal to obtain
money to support their drug
habit.
Wilkerson said the coun-
ty attorney's office is trying to
target prevention programs in
school along with prosecuting
the drug dealers first He also
said he prefers rehabilitation
for those individuals addicted
to drugs
"Last August 1 prosecut-
ed a man with 17 prior J drug-
related] convictions," Wilker-
son said "1 am trying to pros-
ecute individuals peddling
poison and get them off the
streets."
Wilkerson said the man
received a 16-year prison sen-
tence for the production of
methamphelamines and drug
trafficking

Illusion of safety
Gun-free zones do not prevent firearm violence
OS*
BRETT
KING
Gun-free zones have been used to give
the illusion of security and safety for many
years in the United States and across the
world
fn 1938, Adolf Hitler
forced Germany to be-
come one of the largest
gun-free zones the world
had seen According to
the Nazi Weapon Law of
1938. German citizens
were not allowed to pos-
sess firearms unless they
were authorized by the

By 1945. the Nazi
government slaughtered
more than six million
lews, gypsies and mentally retarded or oth-
erwise disabled individuals Last week, we
were reminded once again of the "success"
that gun free zones have had in providing
security and safety to students.
According lo the New York Times on
Feb 15, Steven Kazmierczak entered Cole
Hall at Northern Illinois University with a
shotgun concealed in a guitar case and three
other handguns.
Beginning his assault at 3:06 p.m., Ka-
zmierczak had enough time to reload and
continue to fire upon students in the large
lecture hall before campus security entered
the building.
This shooting has reminded many in the
US of the shootings last year on the Vir
ginia Tech campus. These shootings, like all
school shootings, have had one common de-
nominator - each has occurred in a gun-free
zone.
Knee jerk responses lo school shootings
include more restrictions on firearms and
tougher policies to keep weapons off cam-
pus, but current policies were already violat-
ed prior to the shooting.
According to Northern Illinois Univer-
sity's Student Code of Conduct, effective
Aug. 8, 2006, firearms are not allowed lo be
brought onto campus without "written con-
sent of the chief security officer of the uni-
versity" The policies are only as strong as
the paper they are written on. With the slow
response by campus police in both occa
sions, there is little lor students to do to de-
fend themselves
Gun-free zones of the past and present
have only one meaning - civilians are un-
able to defend themselves in times of emer-
gency
Currently on our own campus, the only
solution the Student Government Associa-
tion and the administration has provided to
keep us safe is the ability to send text -mes-
sage alerts in case of an emergency
Bui the alerts provide no benefit to
those caught in an emergency situation and
can only be preventative to those outside of
the situation.
In a grassroots movement, students at
universities across this country have been
pushing for changes in gun-control laws to
allow students who have obtained a con-
ceal-and-carry permit to carry their weapons
on campus.
Prior to the shooting al Virginia Tech
last year, the Virginia Gen-
eral Assembly would nol
let a bill out of subcommit-
tee that allowed students
to carry concealed weap-
ons on campus
After the bill was de-
feated, Virginia Tech
spokesman Larry Hinck-
er said to the Roanoke
Times, "I'm sure the uni-
versity community is ap
preciative of the General
Assembly's actions
because this will
help parents,
students, facul-
ty and visitors
feel safe on our
campus."
Contrary to
public opinion, eliminating the "gun-free
zone" on campus will not lead to shootouts
or put a gun in the hands of every student.
With previous eountermeasures failing
lime after time when it comes to preventing
school shootings, the only solution is to al-
low those in our state who have obtained a
conceal arid-carry permit to have the option
of carrying firearms on campus.

TO THE POINT is an
editorial selected
and debated by
the editorial board
and written after
a majority opinion
is formed. This is
the Collegian's
official opinion.
TO THE POINT
Legislation
targets wrong
criminals
A Kansas legislator
has proposed a bill that
would remove the op-
tion of
bail for
any Kan-
san who
commits
three or
more fel-
onies,
basically forcing them
to serve the full allotted
term.
Sen, Derek Schmidt,
R-lndepcndence, said
the bill is supposed to
target property offenders
who habitually burglar-
ize and vandalize houses
and other property.
We question the mo-
tives behind this legis-
lation, [ails have little
room for inmates, which
could be used for more
violent criminals.
Who would you rath-
er have enter jail with-
out bail, a first time rap-
ist or a person who
has stolen a few televi-
sions and some jewelry
on three separate occa-
sions?
Once these three-
time property offend-
ers are thrown into jail,
they would be lumped
in with rapists, murder-—
ers and other violent of- ;
fenders because of the —
lack of space. What's ^o-
ing to happen when they
meet these violent indi-
viduals? Will they real-
ly leam from their past
mistakes and turn into
upstanding citizens?
Legislators need to
differentiate between
the seriousness of prop-
erty crimes and violent
crimes.
African crises ignored by U.S., other countries
GRADY
BOLOING
Since Sept. 11, 2001, the Unit-
ed States has made a pledge lo com-
bat terrorism around the world and
make Ihc future
safe for democra-
cy In recenl years,
the country has
made significant
efforts toward this
aim in places like
Afghanistan and
Iraq. Such situa-
tions are not per
feci, but progress
has been made.
However, if
U.S. citizens look
farther soulh and
west, they will see
a rather depressing sight on the con
tinent of Africa 1 know - no big sur-
prise. Of course, just saying those
three words is a problem in and of it-
self.
For the past few weeks. Kenya
has been overwhelmed with turmoil
following a disputed election in De-
cember 2007 On Feb 13, Ihe Asso-
ciated Press reported thai ethnic vi-
olence has resulted in the deaths
of 1 ,000 people and the exodus of
600,000 Kenyan refugees Fortunately.
Kenya's political rivals agreed lo sign
a deal lasl week tu end I he violence,
Elsewhere, ihe former French
colony of Chad has seen better days.
On Feb 14. the Associated Press
reported Chad's government de
dared a state of emergency after bat
tling rebels since the beginning of the
month The article staled that 160
people were killed in the fighting at
Ihe beginning of February.
But the question is this. With all
this violence in Kenya and Chad in
2008, how is the world reacting?
Answer: by reviewing the situa-
tion at a typically slow pace.
Over the years, it has become
apparent that Africa has been out-
rageously shafted in its most desper-
ate times of need To start, let's took
at Rwanda in 1994. It is no longer a
secret that the world turned the oth-
er way as thousands of Tutsis were
slaughtered by the Hulu government.
After 100 days of senseless butchery,
the genocide ended with more than
800,000 dead.
The saddest part: The slory did
not end Ihere.
The fallout from the genocide
affected neighboring Zaire, now
known as Congo. In 1998, the coun-
try plunged into a war fought be
I ween nol unly Hutu and Tulsi fac-
tions, but 25 other armed groups,
along with eight African nations
This war lasted from 1998 to 2003,
killing an estimated five million peo-
ple Worse yet, as Congo expert
enccd what some have called Africa's
World War. (he rest of Ihe
world looked beyond the
situation
Unfortunately, the suf-
fering has not yet end-
ed On |an. 22, an article
in Reuters explained how
war, disease and malnu-
trition kill roughly 45,000
people every month in
Congo. Africa's World War
ended in 2003. but the fall-
out continues to claim
lives to ihis day.
Yes, like anyone else, I
did not find out about this
until just recently, which is
appalling
Bottom line: Five days
after Sept 1 1, President
Bush addressed the na-
tion, saying that it
was the responsi
bility of the U.S.
to "rid the world
of evil" I don't
think that is a bad
objective
However, if one is to
make such a bold claim, this person
belter take action in the parts of the
world that really need to be rid of
evil Like a ripple in a calm pond, ne-
glected pain spreads throughout the
world in one form or another.
In ihis case, if world leaders want
to make the world safe for democ
racy, Africa is where they must truly
start.

ART ESCAPE
City Commission agreed
to sell Manhattan Town Cen-
ter to UrbanCal Manhattan
Town Center, the current
majl management group, at
Tuesday night's City Com-
mission meeting
The city will receive 18
percent of the net profits
The city's share will equate
to about $2 6 million. The
provisions for the city re
ceiving these profits comes
from a re -negotiation of a
lease agreement that oc-
curred in 1992, said City
Attorney William Frost
Rrosl said many Manhattan
citizens heavily criticized
the commission for re-ne
vitiating the malt lease in
1992
City Commission also
honored Deborah Nauerth
for receiving the 2008 Kan-
sas Master Teacher Award
Mayor Tom Phillips de-
clared Feb. 27, 2008 Debo-
rah Nauerth Day in recog-
nition of the hard work and
dedication she has shown
in teaching children in
Kansas.
Right now in educa-
tion, [teachers) are at a
time of high accountabil
ity," Nauerth said. "Take
time on Feb. 27 to thank
a teacher for all their hard
work and dedication."
Phillips also an-

Uncommon total lunar eclipse to take place Wednesday evening
By Sarah Burford
KANSAS STATE COLLEOIAK
It's not every day people
s« the moon turn reddish or
ange and turquoise. But to-
night, it will be a sight to see.
At about 9:30 p.m., a to-
tal lunar eclipse will be visible
from Manhattan. It will last for
three and a half hours, and the
moon will be completely cov-
ered by the Earth's shadow for
50 minutes of that time, ac-
cording to the National Aero-
nautics and Space Administra-
tion Web site.
The total lunar eclipse will
be visible from South Amen
ca and most of North Ameri-
ca on Feb 20, and from West
em Europe, Africa and West-
ern Asia on Feb 21, according
to NASA.
Bharat Ralra, professor of
physics, said a lunar eclipse oc-
curs when the Earth comes be-
tween the sun and the moon,
blocking sunlight and casting
its shadow on the Moon.
There must be a full moon
for a lunar eclipse to happen,
Ratra said, but a lunar eclipse
cannot occur every time there
is a full moon. The moon's
orbit around the Earth and the
Earth's orbit around the sun
(called the ecliptic) must be
aligned on the line of nodes.
Ratra said a total lunar eclipse
only occurs every few years.
The next one will be in Decem-
ber 2010
The Earth's shadow is
comprised of two cone-shaped
parts, according to the NASA
,Web site. The penumbra is the
outer shadow, which blocks
some but not all of the sun's
rays. The inner shadow is called
the "umbra" It blocks all sun-
light from reaching the moon
during a lunar eclipse.
A partial eclipse occurs
if only part of the moon pass
es through the umbra. If the
entire moon passes through
Earth's inner shadow, there
is a total eclipse, like the one
occurring tonight, according
to NASA. The moon's color
during a total eclipse can ap-
pear bright orange, blood red.
or dark brown. On rare occa-
sions, it turns very dark gray,
according to the NASA site.
Ratra said the moon's col
or during an eclipse is caused
by sunlight passing through the
Earth's atmosphere The atmo-
sphere scatters the blue light
and allows only reddish light
to reach the moon At the be
ginning and end of the eclipse,
the moon appears blue or tur-
qunise
Ratra said that the ancient
Greeks first recognized eclipses
in about 300 B C Aristarchus
discovered that the Earth was
a sphere by observing its shad-
ow on the moon during eclips-
es around this time
"He played a big role in
setting up early Greek solar
systems and sizes," Ratra said
Kings would use eclipses
to their own advantage by em
ploying astronomers to predict
when they would occur in an
cient times. Ratra said. The nil
ere would then make their sub
jects think they were powerful
enough to block out the moon
single-handedly.
The North Central Kansas
Astronomical Society is meet
ing at 7:30 tonight on the south
side of Cardweil Hall to watch
the lunar eclipse. The group
will provide telescopes for pco
pie to use and suggests observ-
ers also bring binoculars and
dress appropriately If weath-
er permits, people might also
be able to see Saturn and Mare,
according to the NCKAS fly-
er NCKAS will update its Web
site, wwwnckasorR, through
mi i the day with weather and
cancellation information.

With one loss, sopho-
more l.oren Groves broke
the K-State weight -throw
record, earned an auto-
matic qualifying mark for
the NCAA championships
and recorded the second
best throw in the nation
this season.
Groves' ihrow in the
Wildcat Invitational on
Jan 19 beat the previ
ous school record by nine
inches with a distance of
69-1150
I could tell when 1 re-
leased it that it had a good
arch on il; il had a lot of
speed on it, and it was go-
ing to be the one to break
the record," Groves said.
As well as being Ihe
K- State record holder,
Groves is the reigning Big
12 Conference chain r ion
in Ihe weight throw, mak
ing her one of the favor-
ites In this season's Big 12
Championships, on K-b
20 in Lincoln, Neb She-
won the conference meet
last year with a throw ni
67-10 78
"1 feel good going in."
Groves said "I've had a
couple of rough meets,
but we've been working
on some things to get my
technique down."
She said she has been
working on planting her
foot on her third rotation
and releasing at the right
point.
Assistant coach Steve
Fritz said he has not been
surprised by Groves' suc-
cess and expects her to
compete well al the con-
ference meet.
"She's been mostly
consistent over the sea-
son," I-riU ^Ltid "We had
R little hiccup a couple of
weeks ago in the meet a I
Air Force, but slu-'-i been
very consistent in work-
outs all year long. I would
expect her to continue to
throw around what she is
capable of"
Groves, who never
competed in the weight
throw until she came to
K-Stale, also competes in
(he hammer throw and
the discus during the out-
door season She even ran
the hurdles in high school,
which she said has helped
her succeed at K-Slate
"Growing up, I was
a hurdler," Groves said
"I think my speed from
the hurdles helped me
transfer over to the ham
i ner and weight, and 1 just
had to gain strength. The
weight program is great.
It helped beef me up so I
could still keep my speed
so I can do well in the
weight [throw]"
Fritz credits Groves'
success to her athleticism,
her ability to avoid inju-
ries and her willingness to
learn quickly.
"Some people come in
and struggle their first year
or two and then lake off."
Frit/ said "Others come
in and it becomes natural

AMC drama
shows dark,
internal side
of freedom
"Breaking Bad"
• • • • *
Ray lew by Scott Glrird
With the emergence of TV
shows that portray adults sell-
ing and growing drugs out of
necessity, "Breaking Bad" takes
the genre to a more twisted, in-
your-face level.
The AMC series revolves
around Waller White, played
by Bryan Cranston (the dad
from "Malcolm in the Mid-
dle"), who is a 50-year-old
chemistry teacher with a child
on the way and recently diag-
nosed lung cancer. He has little
time to live and needs money
to leave his wife, high school
son and unburn child.
After accompanying his
Drug Enforcement Agency
agent brother-in-law for a meth
drug bust, Waiter looks into the
drug making process, eventual-
ly joining up with a former stu-
dent, and begins to cook and
sell meth.
The unlikely pair buy a
trailer and lake it (o a remote
;irua in the desert to make the
meth crystals, which are ex-
tremely pure because of Wal-
ter's vast knowledge of chemis-
After Waller's partner, Jes-
se Pinkman, played by Aar-
on Paul, runs into his old part-
ner that he ratted out. Pink
man leads his ex-partner and
his friend to the trailer where
Waller kills them with a deadly
chemical All of this happens in
the pilot episode
The next three episodes
delve inlo the motives, strug-
gles and inner thoughts of Wal-
ter and Pinkman. and they also
answer the questions of what
the partners do with the bod-
ies, whether or not they contin-
ue making meth and how the
family reacts to Walter's can-
cer
Above all, the series re-
volves around Walter coming
lo terms with his cancer and
his gradual move toward emo-
tional freedom, whether it is
beating up a bully who is mak-
ing fun of his son who has ce-
rebral palsy or blowing up a ir-
ntating, snobbish business-
man's new car. Every risk Wal-
ter takes releases him from the
inward, quiet demeanor he dis-
played as a teacher and father
before the cancer diagnosis
When Pinkman asks Waller
why he decided to make meth,
Waller says. "II makes me feel
free."
Though award-winning
Showtime series "Weeds" mix-
es a solid dose of adult humor
with the struggles of parent-
ing. "Breaking Bad" shows the
emotional toll cancer and drug
dealing can take on a family -
both Walter's and later Pink-
man's,
Unlike "Weeds," where a
recently widowed mom picks
up marijuana distribution to
maintain her suburban, cookie-
cutter lifestyle, Walter has few
options; he is dying As a high
school teacher, he has little
money to leave to his family -
there are no scandalous affairs
or inept uncles like "Weeds."
In each of the three epi-
sodes after the pilot, more is
revealed about the two main
characters, giving the audi-
ence background and an un-
derstanding of their actions.
It is also interesting to see the
transformation of Waller and
Pinkman Walter's cancer is
obviously a burden to him and
li is family, but it also removes
many of the previous restraints
that held him back In Pink-
man's case, he gradually begins
to realize the consequences of
his actions and tries to seek
help from his parents
"Breaking Bad" is a true
drama that addresses compli-
cated issues like choosing fam-
ily over the law. living a short-
ened life to the fullest while
producing and selling debilitat-
ing drugs.
The show airs at 9 p m.
on Sundays, and the fifth epi-
sdde will premiere this Sunday.
Mosl of the episodes and sum-
maries are posted on the AMC
Web site, so people who have
not seen them can catch up be-

Out of here
Students travel for fun, to study, to provide aid for break
By Kristin Hodges
KANSAS STATE COLLEGIAN
Spring break means
different thoughts and ac
tivities to different people
It can be a break from
class, a break from work
or simply a break from
Manhattan
Whether students
are experiencing their
first college spring
break or embracing
their last, there are
a variety of options
to choose from to
fill the weeklong
rest.
VOLUNTEER
WORK
K State offers
a way for students to travel
and help other communi-
ties through the alternative
break program in the civic
leadership office of Lead-
ership Studies and Pro-
grams.
KimPra
zier, who
works with
K-State's
AmeriCorps
VISTA pro-
gram, said
the alternative
break program
is open to all K
State students.
There are several
locations and ac-
tivities available.
like rebuilding hous-
es in Greensburg,
Kan., working with
the Boys and Girls
Club in Chicago, and
working on a trail in La
Follette, Tenn There
are also programs in
New Orleans and
Dallas.
Most trips cost
$175, which cov-
ers travel, housing
and most mea
expenses, Cra-
zier said. Trips
to Greensburg
cost $125
"Prom a
student's per
spective, it's
a cheap op
tion," Fra-
zier said
"For an en-
tire week, you couldn't
necessarily slay at home for
$200 It's also fun, and you can meet
a lot of people and do community
service and help communities out-
side of Manhattan"
She said about 40 students will
go to New Orleans, about 35 will
work in Greensburg and other sites
will have about 10 students
Monica Parrish, special assis-
tant for Leadership Studies and Pro-
grams, said the deadline to apply
for the alternative break program
was Feb 15. but the deadline is not
"hard and fast"
"Basically, we have *X' amount
of spots to fill," she said. "If we don't
get enough applications by then,
we'll keep recruiting Generally in
the past, it's worked out pretty even,
with some negotiating room"
Frazier said applications can
be found on the Leadership Studies
and Programs Web site, and com
pk'tcd and
turned in to the civ-
ic leadership office in the
Foundation Center or e-mailed to

GROUP PLANS
Tara Marsh, |ade Travel consul-
tant, said popular places for students
lo travel to this year is Cancun and
lamaica.
However, Marsh said students
should start finalizing their plans
and buying their plane tickets for
spring break trips before Christmas
She said she has looked at cruises
lor groups and families, and spots
are filling quickly
For students who have not
made plans yet, Marsh said there is
still lime, and students should look
to avoid high airfare costs
"At this point, any
place they can drive to
is good." she said, "like
Padre. It's probably the
most popular because
it's the party atrno-
sphere,
If they
want to
go on a
cruise,
they
could
drive to
Galveston
[Texas|."
Marsh
also said stu-
dents can
drive some-
where to go
skiing
She said
if students want
to stay close for
break, they could
go to a lake in Mis
soun if the weather
is nice enough.
"But I haven't had
any calls for any-
body going some-
where in Kan-
sas." she said
Marsh
said Jade Trav-
el, 315 Poyntz
Ave., has ac-
cess lo dif-
ferent search
engines and
companies
that offer
spring break
trips, and the travel
consultants can help
students find discounts
on group sizes or other
details
"We can handle all the
payments and docu-
ments and everything
that is needed." she
said
TRIPS
ABROAD
Liz Ward,
irector of
' study abroad
programs,
said studying
abroad is also
an option for
students during
spring break
'It's a short peri-
od of time," Ward
said "So, typical-
ly faculty- led pro-
grams are the mosl
I popular"
She said the pro-
grams offered during
the break vary each
Uiir in their academic
content and countries.
Ward said many students who
study abroad during spring break
later decide lo study abroad for a
longer period of time.
Ward said students usually ap-
ply for the spring break programs in
the spring semester
According to the Office of Interna-
tional Programs Web sile, there are
two faculty-led programs planned
for spring break.
For one of the trips students
can receive credit for Modern Polit-
ical Thought while traveling around
Prague, Czech Republic, and the
other trip covers European litera-
ture while traveling Europe.

DEBATE I VPs vow few tuition hikes
Conttnutd from Page 1
"We want to do the things
we can do and the changes we
can make la "take Lafene run
more efficiently," he said
Hoskins, junior in econom
ics, said to improve the opera-
tion of Lafene, it is important to
open the communication lines
between students and doctors.
"If yuu have an issue, you
should be able to talk to a doc-
tor," she said
Dane Miller, junior in po-
litical science, had a different
stance on the issue
"You get what you pay tor, '
he said
Miller encouraged students
to realise Lafene 's services are
free and to be understanding
during this time of year when
there have been a large number
of illnesses at K-Statc
Candidates also discussed
maintenance problems, envi-
ronmental issues and increased
tuition. Every candidate assured
students that they will do all
they can to reduce the chances
of tuition being increased
Each candidate was differ-
ent in regards to their platforms
and approaches.
Opponents Nicholas "Nin-
ja" Birdsong and "First-Mate
(Scott) Carlson" used each oth-
er's campaign to bring out the
positive in their own
"It is important to lake
care of the pirate menace," said
Birdsong, junior in political sci-
ence.
In response, Carlson, ju-
nior in electrical engineering.
said he and his running mate
are ready to deal with the inva-
sion problem of the ninjas here
on campus.
In closing, the candidates
were given an opportunity to
give final remarks and closing
statements to encourage stu-
dents to visit their Web sites
and contact them with whatev-
er issues they think should be
addressed
Swift closed by encourag-
ing students to evaluate their
vote by who has the ability to
make an effect here at K State.
"Who's going to be effec-
tive when they take the posi
tion?" he asked
The student body presiden-
tial debate will be broadcast live
on KSDB-PM 91 9 at noon to-
day in the Union Courtyard.
SMITH |
Teacher
plans cities
ConlimwdfromPaof 8
worked as an urban planner in
Chicago and as a regional plan
ner in Tulsa, Okla.
While an undergraduate,
Smith said she knew she want-
ed to be involved in city plan-
ning, but she didn't know the
name for what she wanted to
do
"I like doing community
development work," she said. "I
wanted to work in the subsets
of cities"
The regional and commu-
nity planning program is in the
College of Architecture, Plan
ning and Design . but Smith dif-
ferentiated between architec-
ture and planning by saying
the former is building the city
up through the construction of
buildings and the latter is build-
ing the city out and looking at
issues like zoning and transpor-
tation.
Though her years of work
ing eventually brought her to K-
State. Smith said it is the faculty
that have kept her here.
"*1 work with some good
people, not only what they do.
but just whu they are." she said

FITNESSI BOSU offers change-up
Continued from p*9t 6
muscles, neuromuscular
and sensory training, which
help you in everyday living.
and athletic training. Prom
a broader perspective, the
stronger demands you put on
your muscles, the more they
respond and perform. As we
age. we lose muscle mass.
With the BOSU you gain
mu%cie mass by using your
body weight to balance on an
unstable surface, calling on
more muscles for support and
strength."
Cortez goes on to explain
that after training on a BOSU,
users have increased reflex-
es and balance and therefore
better coordination during ev-
eryday activities. Actress Eva
Longonn has also been quot-
ed in magazines as saying that
the BOSU has changed the
shape of her abs"
Typically, the first hall-
hour of the class is devot-
ed to a cardiovascular work-
out. This involves stepping,
running, bouncing, squatting
and many other moves to get
your heart pumping During
this time, your core muscles
are working to stabilize your
body.
The second half of class
is dedicated to toning Hand
weights are used along with
the BOSU to hit every ma-
jor muscle group. Modifica-
tions are offered for every fit-
ness level, as with all class-
es offered at the Rec Final-
ly, the hour is finished with a
series of stretches to enhance
flexibility, all white using the
BOSU ball
if the group fitness scene
isn't for you, trainers at the
Rec Complex can integrate
the BOSU into client work-
outs as well. If you want to
try the BOSU on your own, a
ball is available in the Com-
batives room upstairs in the
rec where yoga classes are
typically held
If for no other reason, try

One of the key reasons
Groves was able to pick up
i he weight throw so quick-
ly. Fritz said, because she
was not self-conscious
about how she looked when
she first learned Fritz said
throwers, like Groves, who
can put aside how they look
while learning progress fast-
er
Senior Laei Heller said
Groves' long arms are an
important factor in her suc-
cess
"She is able to move fast
and is relatively strong, bul
her arm length just gives her
that much more radius from
her body, which gives her
a huge advantage." Heller
said.
Groves and the rest of
the Wildcats will have one
last chance to tune up be-
fore the conference meet
when they host the KSU
open on Saturday Heller,
who is also competing in the
weight throw, and Groves
have a chance to finish in
the top two in the confer-
ence meet, an accomplish-
ment Groves said would be
amazing for the pair After
competing in the conference
meet, Groves will compete
in the NCAA Indoor Cham-
pionships on March 14-15, in
Fayettevilie, Ark She placed
sixth in the meet last season,
earning All-American hon-
ors, and said she wants to
keep performing well up to
the championships this sea-
son
"I jusl want lo keep
building," Groves said. "1
would like to throw over 21 -
meters from here on out"

Hitting the books
Sophomore Merriewether achieves success in classroom as well as on court
By Justin Nun w
KANSAS M'A] !■. UllJ.fcttlAN
They spend countless
hours in (he weight room, on
the court and watching game
film. But for many college ath-
letes, sports wind up becoming
their No. 1 priority, outweighing
even academic performance
However, there is one K-
State men's basketball play-
er who not only recognizes
that school is important, but
he strives to excel in the class-
room and also on the court. He
knows he vs a student-athlete -
ucit m athletic student
Suphomure guard Chns
Merriewether said putting
school first has become more of
a habit than an obligation
Before he began his career
as a Wildcat, Memewelher was
a student at Arlington Coun-
try Day School in Jacksonville,
Fla ., where he accrued several
academic honors. He served as
president of the National Hon-
or Society and finished his high
school career with an outstand-
ing grade point average.
"Weighted, 1 think it was a
4 68. and unweighted, I think
it was about a 3.9," said Mer-
riewether
I lis academic performance
ranked second in his gradu
Lit nig class, and it led to schol-
arship offers from several Ivy
league schools, including Har-
vard and Columbia However,,
Merriewether said he believed
K Si ale was the right school (or
him
I made the decision to go
to K-State because I thought it
was best academically and ath-
letically, as a whole," he said
"Coach [Bob | Huggins saw
me play at a tournament in
Kentucky, and he really liked
my playing style. K-Stale just
seemed like the nght fit. A lot
of people think I followed my
teammate here, but that was re-
ally a secondary factor."

mer K-State center, transferred
to Tallahassee Community Col-
lege after the 2006 07 season.
Merriewether. a finance
major, said he still isn't sua'
what he wants to do after he
graduates from K Stale.
"I think I might want to be
a financial advisor, but Cm still
nut sure," he said "I just want
to be able to help people and
make money at the same lime."
While Merriewether has
been able to maintain a high
GPA at the college level, he said
it can be difficult - especially
during basketball season
"It's real lough," he said
"Every teacher wants their class
to be your No, 1 focus, and the
coaches want your locus to be
on basketball. It's like a full-
time job."
Merriewether has seen ac-
tion in 2 1 contests, averaging 10
minutes per game He said the
team's frequent road trips can
make it even harder to find time
to study
"College basketball is a lot
different than high school bas-
ketball because you're always
traveling." he said "1 try to go
lo the library after practice for
about two-and a-half or three
hours a night, but that only hap-
pens about two or three times a
week, since we're always on the
road It's hard to stay on par
and keep moving forward"

academic and athletic reasons.

The homestretch of the
conference season has fallen
upon us, and the K- State bas-
ketball team
has itself po-
sitioned to
capture its
first out-right
Bigl2reg
i ilar season
champion-
ship
With a
dominant in-
side pres-
ence accom-
panied by a
solid and experienced back-
court, this team has the abil-
ity and drive to make a deep
run into the NCAA tourna-
ment The above description
might immediately hove some
of you thinking of the K-State
men's basketball team, and
you would not be wrong in
thinking so But the team I'm
referring to is actually not
the men's, but their coun-
terparts from Bramlage Col-
iseum, the women's basket-
ball team Quietly, consistent-
ly and somewhat surprisingly,
the women's team have been
winning and climbing in ihe
national polls.
After a decent start lo
the 2007-08 basketball sea
son, the K-Statc women sud-
denly found themselves un-
able lo acheive any success
on the road By suffering road
losses to Wyoming, Wiscon-
sin-Green Bay and Creighton.
they were quickly slipping
into a deep hole and strug-
gling lo get oul. The always-
difficull Rig 12 regular season
schedule was also creeping
up on them, but something
changed.
Whether it was an in-
crease in defensive pressure,
shooting percentage or sub-
tle coaching adjustments, a
Christmas wish was answered
for the women's team dur-
ing the holiday break The It-
State women became win-
ners and conference-title con-
lenders in the blink of an
eye Games and situations
the Wildcats were initially on
the losing end of (Wyoming
and Creighton come to mind)
were quickly resolved and re-
versed as the team beat Texas
A&M, Texas, Oklahoma Stale
and Nebraska - all on the
road
Some might call it a
stretch of luck, but it has
been anything bul that. Since
Christmas, the Wildcats have
won 13 of 14 games and cur-
rently sit in first place in the
conference standings with a
10-1 record. Baylor, who has
a tie breaking win over the
Wildcats, is in second place
and also has one more tally in
the loss column.
The next closest contend-
er the Wildcats have to worry
aboul is Oklahoma, who will
travel to Manhattan tonight.
With a win over the Soon
ers (18-5. 8-3 Big 12 Confer-
ence) and a quick look at fu-
ture conference games, 1 have
to think that the Wildcats can
put the wraps on the confer-
ence regular -season title this
week Truly an amazing ac-
complishment for the initial
expectations from this team.
So, how have Ihe Wild-
cats done it? How have they
achieved the status of front-
runners for Ihe Big 12 ti
lie? Statistically speaking, it
is easy to see. The Wildcats
are first in points-allowed per
game, giving up 56.6 per con-
test; first in three-point defen-
sive percentage, limiting the
opposition lo just 219 per-
cent per outing and fifth in of-
fensive points per game, aver-
aging 65.5 points a night
Veering away from the
statistics, the Wildcats have
displayed poise, experience
and leadership in late-game
situations Shalee Lehning,
Kimberly Dietz and Marlies
Gipson have carried the team
night in and night out with
great plays on almost every
possession. Lehning might not
be the most polished point
guard K-Slale has ever seen,
but she is by far the best floor
general the Wildcats have had
in years Coach Deb Patterson
might have finally discovered
the missing link to what pre-
vented greatness in the early
part i if this decade, a depend-
able and big game situation
point-guard
Ashley Sweal, Kari Kin-
caid and the overall depth of
the bench are often forgot-
ten when it comes to reasons
for K-State's success. No mat-
ter what the situation, Patter
son has been able to go to her
bench and get solid produc-
tion and big-time minutes. If
these keep up. the limits of
this team seem endless.
So how far is this team
going (o go? What lilies and
accolades might this team at-
tain? Those questions are yet
to be answered, but one thing
1 know for sure is this team
is deserving of credit and an
increase in attention Quiet-
ly and steadily it is starting to
grow, just like the Wildcats'
numbers in the win column.

Many young Big 1 2 coaches suffer through growing pains of 1st few seasons
WENDY
HAUN
We're more than halfway
through the Big 12 Conference sea
son, can you believe it? With only
six games left on
the schedule, each
team has the mon-
umental (ask of
not embarrass-
ing themselves in
front of the rest of
the conference and
the NCAA Selec
tion Committee as
the final buzzers
sound.
More of-
ten than not, the
coaches can be put in a harsh spot-
light for any major losses down the
stretch. New coaches Jeff Bzdelik.
Frank Martin. Mark Turgeon and
Pat Knight have had their work cut
out for them this year, dealing with
the veterans but for the most part.
they have held their own
How does each coach stack
up? Their victories - and defeats
- gives us a glimpse into how they
should fare as coaches in the fu-
ture.
SCOTT DREW, BAYLOR
GRADE: A
Drew took a team that finished
in Big 12 play last
year at 4-12 and
has turned them
iritu legitimate con-
tenders this year. ^^^.
They have mount- j^^r f
ed a 5-5 conference
record, their best- W
ever Big 12 play J|
start Their high-
light reel includes a
five-overtime victo-
ry over Texas A& M
in Colli'tc Sliilioii. Fex as. lis well lis
victories over South Carolina and
Notre Dame Baylor has the second -
highest scoring offense in the confer
ence, averaging 81 points per game.
|unior guard Curtis lerrells leads the
offensive attack for the Bears, aver-
aging almost 15 points per game.
Drew has done an excellent job
with this team For most of the play-
ers on his team, the closest they will
gel to an NBA court is the bleachers,
but he has taken them and turned
them into a team vying for post-sea
son play Baylor should lake extra
care to hold on to Drew
JEFF BZDELIK, COLORADO
GRADE: C
Colorado was the basement
of the Big 12 last
season. They only
were able to eke
out wins against
Iowa State, Okla
homa Slate and
Nebraska Their
fortunes haven't
improved much
this season as they
are once again sit-
ting at the bot-
tom of the Big 12
standings, posting
a 2-8 record so far.
12 wins have come
ka and Oklahoma,
tests against Texas
MCDERMOTT
DREW
BZDillK
Their lone Big
against Nebras-
with close con-
Missouri and
Oklahoma Stale.
Bzdelik, in his first year as
coach at Colorado, has seen bet-
ter times He posted a 50- 16 record
in two years as the coach at Air
Force, but there he was working
with better talent in a lower-caliber
conference It will take more than
just a season to measure what im-
pact Bzdelik could have al the Big
12-level but he has shown he is ca
pable It may take a few years for
his recruiting skills to show before
he can produce
GREG MCDERMOTT, IOWA
STATE
GRADE: C
McDermott took a team that
finished below
500 last season
and has them sit-
ting just above
that mark with a
14-12 overall re-
cord. Iowa Stale
has possibly their
most difficult road
ahead, with games
at Texas Tech and
against Kansas and
K-State al home
The Cyclones, which are wedged in
Big Ten country, have played sev-
eral of that conference's teams,
such as Minnesota, Iowa, Purdue
and North Dakota They received a
banner win against Purdue, which
sits atop the Big Ten standings,
Dec. 22 in an 83 80 win
However, their fortunes end-
ed in Big 12 play Their only vic-
tories have been against Mis-
souri, Oklahoma State and Co lorn
do In all of their conference loss-
es, the Cyclones didn't even come
close to winning McDermott is a
coach with 13 years of experience
under his bell, as well as an over-
all winning record Some may say
this Iowa State team could be lack
ing in talent, but sometimes, coach-
ing can overcome a lack of talent.
McDermott should be a veteran-
enough coach to overcome these
woes.
BILL SELF, KANSAS
GRADE: B
Self is no Roy Williams Wil-
liams, the great-
er coach to come-
along at Kansas
since Phog Allen A »' ,
himself, posted a
winning record of
418-101. led KU
to the NCAA tour-
nament 14 WUHIHI
and to the Final
Four four times. ^ L '
Williams has since
won a champion-
ship at North Carolina Bill Self
has an impressive KU record -
105-29 through his first four sea-
sons - but his teams haven't made
it past the Elite Eight yet. Self also
did something Williams never did;
He lost to K-Stale Twice
Self has taken a KU team that
is unparalleled in talent and has
failed to meet expectations again
and again After losing two years
in a row to first -round nobodies,
MARTIN
he failed again to make the Final
Four last year. It's often the fact
that he's being out-coached in his
games rather than a lack of talent
Self's been a great recruiter - the
KU prominence helps with that -
but putting the players in the right
rotations and the right schemes
helps
FRANK MARTIN, K STATE
GRADE: A
Martin took a team in obvious
turmoil - it had
missed the NCAA
Tournament by the
skin of its teeth
and its coach bolt-
ed and ran after
one season here -
and has made it a
true contender for
the regular- season
crown. With only
two losses (one a
brutal three- point
loss to Missouri
and the other a nine-point loss to
Tex lis Tech. both on I he road), K-
State is off to their besl conference
start since the 1987-88 season,
when they finished the Big Eight
season 113 under coach Lon Kru
ger
Martin was criticized earli-
er in the year for his freshman mis-
takes, which are all but gone now
Wc have seen what happens when
Martin leads this recruiting class
and coaches a superb game (see the
84-75 victory over No. 2 KU )an
30) and what happens when things
go terribly wrong (see Texas Tech
and Notre Dame) Although mosi
will be quick to say K State is only
succeeding because of Beasley, I
say Beasley isn't doing it all him
self Martin is figuring out who to
put around the superstar freshman
forward and is one of the reasons
K Slate sits tied for second in the
league,
MIKE ANDERSON, MISSOURI
GRADE: B
Anderson has done what he
can this year with
Missouri, who fin-
ished in the mid-
dle of the pack last
year After mid-
season disaster
struck (his lead-
ing scorer, Stefhon
Hannah, broke his
jaw. which ended
his season Four
olhcr members of
his team were sus-
pended for Fighting
and Hannah was dismissed from
the lea in after being arrested for as-
sault). I'm sure Anderson is just
waiting for the end of the season so
a new one can begin.
Make no mistake about il - at
full strength, the Tigers beat Texas.
Maryland, Michigan Stale and Pur-
due - Anderson can coach. He's
doing a fairly decern jofa of rehuild
ing Missouri to ilit lop of the Big
12 standings II just may lake a few
more years to cycle in more talent
before Anderson can coach them to
ihe NCAA Tournament
ANDERSON
DOC SADLER, NEBRASKA
GRAOE:C
Nebraska is another team who
might fall short on
expectations After
finishing last sea-
son at 17- 14 with
a 6 10 Big 12 re
cord. Sadler has
coached Nebras-
ka to three victo-
ries thus far They
beat Oregon -
something K Stale SADLER
failed to do - but
they have since
dropped all their
conference games except for Mis-
souri, Iowa State and Texas Tech.
They had the unfortunate circum-
stance of having KU as their first
conference game.
Although they have come close
several times, they haven't quite
made il over the hump. With K
State, lexiis A<NrM. Oklahoma and
Texas still looming on the schedule,
it might be next year before Sadler
gets this Cornhuskers team over the
500 mark With only one senior on
the team - center Alcks Marie - Sa-
dler will have more chances to work
with this team down the road A de-
cent sophomore and freshman class
might be valuable for Nebraska.
JEFF CAPEL, OKLAHOMA
GRADE: B
Oklahoma faced the task of re-
placing Kelvin Sampson - some-
thing they are
probably very hap-
py about right
now, on the eve
of his impend-
ing NCAA viola-
tions hearings -
and did a good job
with Capel. Okla
homa finished 6-10
in Capet's first sea-
son and has been
climbing slowly
during this season.
They're sitting even in confer-
ence standings at 5-5. with wins
over Baylor, in-stale rival Oklaho-
ma State and Texas Tech However,
they have dropped winnable games
to K- State (a two- point loss in their
conference opener), Texas A&M

player who has just started to show
his versatility but is fresh off an in-

Howc\cr Capet's recruiting
tactics are paying off and in a few
years, 1 can see the Sooners vying

After all, Capel has a basket -

SUTTON
CAPEl
SEAN SUTTON, OKLAHOMA
STATE
GRADE: D
When you take over after the
man the basketball
court is named af-
ter, there's going
to be a lot of pres
sure. There's even
more if you re Ed-
die Sutton's son.
Sean, who mount-
ed a 6-10 confer-
ence record in his
first season, looks
to be on the mark
to fall even worse
this season. Oklahoma Stale has a
4-7 record, with their only wins com-
ing against Baylor, Texas A&M. Col-
orado and Texas Tech. Their pre-sea-
son was somewhat soft - their only
major win came the third game of
the year against LSU They suffered
damaging losses against Marquette,
Illinois. Pittsburgh and Oral Roberts
With rival Oklahoma still loom-
ing on the schedule, as well as a vis-
it to Austin to see Texas, not to men-
tion a home game against Kansas,
Sutton will earn his paycheck the
next four weeks. Sean doesn't quite
have Ihe coaching abilities of his fa-
ther - Eddie is one of five coach-
es who reached 800 wins - or of his
brother - Scott is the coach at Oral
Roberts and took the Golden Eagles
to the NCAA Tournament the past
two years - so he'll have his work
cut out for him.
RICK BARNES, TEXAS
GRADE: A
Barnes has his team prepped for
another NCAA Tournament. He's
posted an impres-
sive win-loss ra-
tio (216-86 in nine
seasons at Texas)
and his Longhorns
only have posted
four losses this sea-
son (to Michigan
State. Wisconsin,
Missouri and Texas
A&M) Texas defi BARNES
nitely brought their
A-giime on Feb.
1 1 when they top-
pled KU in a Big Monday showdown
to hand the | ay hawks their second
loss (and any team thai heats KU is a
good team).
Texas made it to the finals of the
Big 12 Tournament last year (they
lost by four to KU) and then, to (he
second round of ihe NCAA Tourna-
ment (where they fell by 19 to USC>-
Barncs has demonstrated a superb
coaching ability while at Texas and
also has brought in recruits to attract
attention to the Longhorns (Kev-
in Durant, anybody**) While Durant
is one of the most prominent Texas
players as of late, they also have ex-
cellent players in D.J. Auguslin, who
is in the running for several player
of the year awards and A.J. Abrams.
Humes has helped bring the Big 12
Showcase away from KU mostly be-
cause of Barnes' ability to win at key
times.

twin their next four contests.
and they would crack the
Associated Press Top 25 poll
Dec 10 with a No 23 rank-
ing It appeared that Huggins
had his new squad on track
for a great season.
Just one day before, K-
State, under the direction of
new head coach Frank Mar
tin, fell to Notre Dame, 68-
59, at Madison Square Gar-
den It was the Wildcats' wc
ond consecutive loss and
their third in five games The
Wildcats would respond with
four consecutive wins, but
would then suffer a 101-77
drubbing against Xavicr in
Cincinnati, Ohio. This would
leave K-State with only one
win against an NCAA (Tour-
nament caliber team, an 82-
75 victory over California,
and a disappointing 2-3 re-
cord outside of Bramlagc
Coliseum. The Wildcats were
battling growing pains and
they were still searching for
their identity.
Fast -forward to Jan 30.
K State, then No 22 in the
nation, had iusl knocked off
then-No. 2 and previous-
ly undefeated Kansas It was
the Wildcats' second victo-
ry over a Top- 10 team in the
month of January, including
a 75-54 victory over then
No 9 Texas A&M on Jan
19. With wins at Oklahoma
and Colorado, it appeared K-
State had also taken care of
its road woes.
The Wildcats sat alone
atop the Big 12 standings
with a 5-0 conference re-
cord. After a 100-63 win
over Missouri last weekend,
K-State, now ranked No, 24.
is 8-2 in the Big 12 and just
a half a game out of the con-
ference lead.
A few hours before fans
flooded onto the Bramlage
Coliseum floor. West Virgio
ia suffered a 62-3° setback
against Cincinnati in Mor-
gantown, WVa. It was their
fifth loss in their last ten
games and their second con-
secutive Big East Conference
loss.
They had dropped to 4-4
in conference play and 15-6
overall.
After such a promis-
ing start to the season, the
Mountaineers have been
struck by inconsistency. They
also lack the ability to win
close games (1-5 in games
decided by 10 points or less)
and games against quali-
ty opponents (1-3 against
ranked teams). They are
7-5 in the Big East and 18-7
overall.
While both teams will
most likely be heading to
the NCAA Tournament in
March, the Wildcats appear
to be more poised to make a
deep run. They have shown
that they can hang with any
team in the country and
their athleticism gives them
a big advantage over many
opponents.
West Virginia is a very
talented team, but when
tournament time arrives.
their lack of consistency
and the ability to win close
games will probably be their
downfall. After last season,
Huggins left K State for what
he thought would be a bet-
ter team in West Virginia
Now it appears the Wildcats
might get the last laugh

MARK TURGEON, TEXAS A&M
GRADE: C
Texas A&M finished second in
the Big 12 stand-
ings last year What
they have done
this year is strug-
gled to stay above
.500 in conference
play With losses
against Texas Tech,
K State. Baylor,
Oklahoma State
and Texas, the Ag-
gies went from one
of the league favor-
TURGEON
ites, to struggling to hang on to a
NCAA Tournament berth
Turgeon is in his first year as
the Aggies head coach He came
to A&M after bolting from Wichi-
ta Slate, where he look the Shock-
ers to I he Sweet Sixteen in 2005-
06 After a year when they fell to
sixlh in the Missouri Valley Confer
ence, Turgeon left the Shockers to
go to Texas A&M in place of Billy
Gillespie, who left for Kentucky last
year
Turgeon still has a chance this
season to redeem himself - start
ing first with a win Feb. 27 over in
state rival Texas Tech - but they
will also have to get past a three-
game stretch of Texas, Baylor and
M
Turgeon hasn't exactly shown
his best coaching this season, find-
ing out the Big 12 is slightly more
competitive than the MVC Eventu
ally, Turgeon will find the best mix
of players, but ii might take a few
painful years lo get it right.
PAT KNIGHT, TEXAS TECH
GRADE: C
The only saving grace of
Knight's grade was his victory over
K-Stale Knight took a reeling Tech
team who had lost
to Nebraska, Bay-
lor, Oklahoma and
Oklahoma State,
and managed to
pull out the upset
over the Wildcats
in the second game
of his head -coach-
ing career After his
father Bob decided
to retire mid-sea-
son. Pat was sud-
denly handed the reins of a Tech
team that is lacking in talent and
KNIGHT
depth
With K-Statc still being Pat's
only head coaching victory, there
are some opportunities in the near
future, starting with Colorado to-
night There's also a big opportuni-
ty Saturday against Iowa State. The
rest of the schedule doesn't look
promising, but with Texas A&M,
Texas, KU and Baylor remaining,
we'll see exactly how much of a
fluke the K State game was.

NAACP
speaker
cancelled
for snow
By Shells {Kit
KANSAS IXKn mi 1 H4AN
Because of weather pre-
dictions of snow. Julian Bond,
chairman of the National As-
sociation for the Advance
menl of Colored People, has
cancelled his speech for this
evening
Bond was scheduled
to give the keynote lecture
for K- State's Black History
Month Celebration at 7 p,m
in the K- State Alumni Center
Ballroom
Bryon Williams, pres-
ident of the K-State Black
Student Union, said Bond
and his wife did not feel com-
fortable flying this morning
from Washington, DC , with
such high chances of bad
weather.
According to the Nation-
al Weather Service forecast
for today, "A mix of snow,
sleet and freezing rain will
extend from southeast Kan-
sas into the lower Ohio Val
Williams said Bond gave
the BSD an option to re-
schedule
"We will try our best to
reschedule, but there are lots
of logistic issues involved,"
Williams said.
The organization will try
to reschedule Bond's speech
later in March, he said. Wil-
liams said the BSU "sincere-
ly regrets and apologizes for
any inconveniences."
Drugged
Authorities say
use of date-rape
drugs on the rise
By Willow Williamson
KANSAS STATE COLLEGIAN
When Kate was 18 and a freshman at
k State, she was drugged and raped in her
hometown by a man she considered a friend
Now, more than a year and a half later, she is
still struggling emotionally from the incident
and her rapist has not been taken to justice
Kate is not alone in her circumstance.
Captain Tim Hegarly of the Riley County Po-
lice Department said in Riley County in 2007
there were 44 rapes or attempted rapes, but
this number only represents those who report-
ed the crime.
"II is fairly understood in the law commu-
nity that rape is an under-reported crime," He-
garty said.
Mary Todd, director of the K- State Worn
en's Center, said nationally 50 60 percent of
rapes of college women occur while the women
are intoxicated She also said nationwide there
has been an increase of drug-related rapes
"There is definitely an increase in the num-
ber of women that are surprised by the physical
reaction to one or two cocktails and who wake
up with bad after effects." Todd said
From October to December there were 13
reported rapes, and Hegarty said in every case
the suspect knew the victim, which he said is
typical
He said it is possible drugs were involved
in those cases, however it is difficult to prove
because drugs generally leave the body within
24 hours

Since 1976. Ebony Theatre

African-American theater com-
pany in the Midwest.
The 32-year-old organiza-
tion is presenting its newest pro-
duction "Mud, River, Stone" by
Lynn Nollage tonight through
Saturday
Tyler Woods, director and
president of Ebony Theatre, said
"Mud, River, Stone" is about an
African American power couple
who decide to take a trip to Afri-
ca The trip doesn't go as planned,
but they experience many differ

ture shock to the realities of Af-
rica. He said this play address

The five candidates for
student body president an-
swered questions concern-
ing campus issues like en-
vironmental sustainabil-
ity and safety at a debate
at noon on Wednesday in
the K-State Student Union
Courtyard
The candidates first had
an opportunity to describe
their platforms and slogans.
Jonathan "Ninjitsu"
Culver was the first to intro-
duce himself with his plat-
form "eliminate all pirates."
Culver, freshman in
civil engineering, said he
also wants to eliminate alt
drunkenness.
"All pirates are dirty,
nasty, grumpy ugly men -
and sometimes women," he
said
Bryan Cox next came
forward with a statement
about potential change and
solutions for K-State
"Our platform is all
about thinking about the
issues and finding ways to
change things to make them
better fur Kansas State stu
dents," Cox, junior in politi-
cal science, said.
Student Body Vice
President Lydia Peele, se-
nior in mathematics educa-
tion, was next
"We're running on the
campaign for more'," Peek-
said "We want to give [stu-
dents) more than [they]
are already getting from
K-State."
Andrew Glazier, senior
in social sciences, used his
introduction time to invite
the audience to look up him
and his running mate on
the Internet at www. glazier-
mUler.com.
Tyrone "Red Beard'
Schurr said he had many
"planks'" to share in his
brief introduction.
"Foremost, there is an
underground movement of
mnja infestations to be ad-
dressed," he said "We be-
lieve in doing, not just
thinking, and bringing fun
to these here politics."
The formal of the de-
bate was one question at a
time, which each candidate
was allotted two minutes to
answer After the planned
questions, the candidates
answered audience mem-
bers' questions.
Does K-State need to ex-
pand the shuttle system,
and should il continue af-
ter the parking garage is
completed?
-Culver said the expansion
of the shuttle would be an
asset He also said his nin
jas would carry students
on their backs anywhere
they want to go He prom-
ised that students would get
anywhere they need with
warmth and safety.
Glazier said based on his
platform, the shuttle sys-
tem should be utilized bet-
ter On its routes back and
forth from the Union to Pe-
ters Recreational Complex,
it passes many buildings,
and Glazier suggested the
shuttle should stop at these
locations He said the con-
tinuation ol the shuttle ser-
vice beyond the garage's
completion is a bridge that
should be crossed when
they get there.
-Cox said when people saw
the number of riders on the
shuttles they were amazed,
Part of his platform is envi-
ronmental sustainability. He
said having a shuttle system
cuts down on greenhouse
gases He also said no mat-
ter how many parking spots
students get in the new ga-
rage, it's not going to elimi-
nate the scarcity of parking
spots on K- State's campus,
and so the shuttle service
would still be valuable.
-Peele said she is a little bit
more wary about expand-
ing the service, because in
2010, Manhattan will have
fresh census results that
might mean federal funding
for public transportation
Peele explained that other
cities provide that kind of
service to residents, and it
would be feasible here.
-Schurr said he "sees eye-
to-eye" with Glazier. He
said he likes the idea of
a shuttle service becom-
ing part of K-State, but he
would prefer that the shut-
tles have sales. Schurr said
he thinks it's sad, though,
that K State students are
made to ride a short bus
What can K-State do to

ly returned to Ebony Theatre in
2007 when he received the op-
portunity to take a graduate po-
sition after the previous president
graduated from K-State
"It seems like this show was
a different texture than what we
have worked with in previous
years," he said "The last play was
contemporary but didn't nec-
essarily go to this corner of the
world"
But "Mud, River, Stone" is
just one of numerous produc-
tions that have been presented by
Ebony Theatre, and the play that
formed Ebony Theatre was the
student written piece titled "No-
body like Me"
Former Ebony Theatre ad-
viser Anne Butler said the success
of the show created an awareness
for a need of a theater group
"The realization that there

German puts out cigarette with fire extinguisher
BERLIN (Reuters) - A virulent anti -smoker in Germany was so
angry when his girlfriend lit up that he emptied a fire extinguisher to
put uut the cigarette, caking her and their apartment in powder.
"My colleagues said it looked like a bomb had gone oil in there, "
said a spokesman for police in the western city of Bielefeld "He man-
aged to put the cigarette out
though "
After the woman ignored his
request not to smoke, the 42
year-old sprayed the contents
of the extinguisher al) around
the flat shouting abuse, police
said.
"He said he wasn't bothered
by the damage it caused." the
spokesman said "And thai
he's through with his girl-
friend."
California man says/Give me yourtacos'
POMTANA, Calif - A
hunger for carnitas nearly
led to some carnage after a
Pontana man was robbed of
a bag of tacos at gunpoint
Police Sergeant Jeff Decker
said the 35 year old victim
had |ust bought about S20
in tacos from a street-corner
stand Sunday night and was
bicycling home when the
suspect confronted him and
said. "Give me your tacos "
Decker said the suspect
grabbed the bag of food,
punched the victim in the
face and began to flee.
When the victim de
manded his tacos back, the
suspect pointed what ap
peared to be a handgun at
the man and threatened
to kill him before running
away.
Lieutenant allegedly uses Taser on cow, distributes videotape of incident to co-workers
ROGERS, Ark. - Police are conducting an internal investigation
into an allegation thai a lieutenant used his stun gun to shock a cow
and shared a videotape of the in
cidenl with other department em-
ployees
Pol ill- Chief Steve Helms
said Tuesday lite inquiry began af-
ter he received a complaint from
the group People for the Ethi-
cal Treatment of Animals A let-
ter dated Feb 1 1 from PETA rep
resentative Stephanie Bell com-
plained that Lt David Mitchell
filmed himself using the electronic stun device on the tow.
Electronic stun guns are used as less-lethal weapons to subdue peo-
ple who pose a threat to officers
Bell said in the letter that Mitchell distributed the video as a joke
among friends and to -workers, and she notes that animal cruelty is a
misdemeanor crime in Arkansas
Helms didn't immediately return a call for comment on Wednesday
City Attorney Ben Lipscomb said Tuesday that the alleged incident hap-
pened 2 1 /2 years ago, which would be beyond the statute of limitations
for misdemeanors. Lipscomb said there would be no point in pursuing a
criminal investigation.
Helms said a captain in the department will conduct the investiga
tion and Mitchell will remain on regular duty.

Student Senate to
vote on tabled Union
minimum wage bill
By Brandon Steinert
KANSAS S1A I KlillLMilAN
Student Senate will
vote for the second time on
a bill that could compensate
tor proposed K-State Stu-
dent Union minimum wage
increases in the union.
The bill, if passed, will
iik ri-ase the K-State Student
Union Operations Budget
by $10,000 to compensate
for the increase in un-cam-
pus. minimum wage.
Faculty senate repre-
sentatives Bill Muir and Tim
vVenin&ei spoke nut against
the bill last Thursday eve-
ning
The bill would have
raised all Union employees'
wages proportionally, not
jusl those making less than
the new minimum wage
WeningcT, graduate stu
dent in computer science,
said the proportional raises
would not correspond with
the bill's implementation in
other areas of campus.
The bill was sent back
to the committee and is on
tonight's agenda under "fi-

Philosophy entrance limited, not impossible
By Sarah Burford
KANSAS STAtt COLLEGIAN
, K-State's philosophy de-
partment is implementing a
new waiting list policy next
year that should give under
classmen the chance to take
philosophy classes to fulfill
requirements
lames Hamilton, profes
sor in philosophy, said the
policy will admit people into
classes electronically on a
"first come, first served" ba-
sis. He said this might help
freshmen and sophomores
who might be able to take an
upperclassman's spot if they
drop out.
Marcelo Sabatcs, head
of the philosophy depart-
ment, said every stu den I in
the College of Arts and Sci
ences must take a philosophy
course, and because the das.-
es are writing intensive, they
must be small. "Six or sev-
en years ago our waiting lists
were huge." Sabales said
"Today, the waiting lists are
big but not huge"
Sabates said it is diffi
cult for freshmen and soph-
omores to enroll in philoso
phy classes because they fill
quickly, but juniors and se-
niors should not have trouble
fulfilling their class require-
ments
"We never leave graduat-
ing seniors without seats, and
Of, very rarely leave se-
niors without seats," he said
\~< w | department of our size
and our needs, we have a rea-
sonable amount of profes-
sors'
The department is offer-
ing more classes this year to
accommodate more juniors,
Sabates said. And they are of-
fering 15 sections of introduc-
tory classes per semester He
said some students think they
must take Philosophy 100 to
fulfill their arts and scienc-
es requirement, but in reali-
ty, any philosophy course can
count
Sabates said the depart-
ment has 11 professors and
no graduate students teach-
ing
"We could use more pro-
fessors, but I wouldn't de
scribe the situation as a short-
age." Sabates said
Hamilton said the phi-
losophy department accom-
modate seniors with seats
first. He said they had a sec-
tion designated just for fresh-
men, but juniors and seniors
"crashed" it Next year, the
online enrollment system will
bar juniors and seniors from
taking this section.
lessica Bigger, adviser
for pre -journalism and mass
communications, said under-
classmen sometimes get frus
trated when they cannot get
into philosophy courses
"We usually talk about
(taking philosophy] their
freshman or sophomore year
and they try to get into it,"
Bigger said
But any frustration
caused, Bigger said, is "more
disappointment because
they're excited to [take the
class |"
Mark Nelson, senior in
social sciences with a minor
in philosophy, said talking to
the professor is the key to get
ting into a philosophy class
"Get into contact with
the professor as soon as the
class schedule comes out,"
Nelson said. "Most of the
time they don't mind"
Hamilton said any where
from five to 20 students
could be on a waiting list
for a philosophy class during
the semester, bui he said the
department hopes the new
waiting list system will alle-
viate the number of pi-op k-
who must wail
"We don't know how ex-
actly this will work out with
this new system," Hamilton
said "We hope to ease the
pressure and allow some un
derclassmen to get into class
es"
THEATRE 1 18-year adviser sustained company
Continued from Piqt 1
color who enjoy the perform
ing aspects of theater, those
sludeivts decided to Create I
group called Ebony Theatre,"
she said
Butler. Ebony Theatre ad-
viser from 1978-96, said she
was originally approached by
a former fellow faculty mem
bcr who was unable to contin-
ue advising the group because
of her newly accepted posi
tion She said her fellow si all
member specifically came with
several folders and documents
and said, "These are for Ebo-
ny Theatre. Keep the theater
going." And that's what Butler
did for the next 18 years.
Kutler reminisced about
some of the different chal-
lenges like rehearsal space,
commitment and discipline
of the actors, but she stayed
With Ebony Theatre almost 20
I i use she was able to
sec students grow and create
bonds with one another, she
said
It lit my soul and nur-
tured my spirit to see these
young student! become con-
nected to African American
literary figures," she said "II
ihere mi an opening, I would
gladly come back and become
adviser again"
Butler's legacy as adviser
remains ai the Ebony Theatre
at K Stale During her term as
adviser, she was able to work
with and encourage n on -the-
ater majors lo participate in
the company, and this contin-
ues today.
Monica Kennedy, sopho-
more in psychology, said site
heard about the auditions for
the play through her theaicr
course
"I was in the theater class,
and (Woods | came to speak
lo my class," she said "So 1
thought I should jusl try ii"
Kennedy went to the play
wilhoul as much experience as
others but said she was wel
ii imed by everyone and It*
ceived a role as a pari of the
African Chorus
"It was a bit intimidal
ing because a lot of then were
theater majors and had been
in college theater productions,
but [Woods] definitely made
everyone feel inclusive and
part of the group," she said
Kennedy encouraged her
lei low students to see ihe per-
formance, support Ebony The-
atre and gain knowledge of the
often misunderstood continent
of Africa.
"II does really give you
an insight lo what African re
ally is." she said "It s realistic
in a sense, and sometimes you
don't always get that in plays"

OPINION
KANSAS STATE COLLEGIAN
THURSDAY, FEBRUARY 21, JfiOS
Faith fanatics
Religious high school
ignores Title IX rights
Though St, Mary's Academy would
be ihe unanimous victor in the con-
test of fanaticism in any other state, the
school traditional-
ly has been undercut
by Topeka s more ra-
bid and vocal cult at
the Weslboro Baptist
Church
But with
in the context of a
high school basket-
ball game, the little
schismatic Catholic ADAM
school might final- ph am
ly have managed to
close the gap
It's important for me to note that
St. Mary's is a satellite of the Soci-
ety of St Pius X, a heretical sect which
emerged in 1970 as a self -described fun-
damentalist reaction to the proceedings
of Vatican II, and it has been at odds
with the Holy See since its leader was
excommunicated in 1988. In short, the
group's misbehavior is unsanctioned by
even the ultraeonservalive Vatican
About 10 minutes before tip-off in
a home game against Word of Life, a
St. Mary's school official had to inform
the assigned referee duo - Darin Put-
thoff and Michelle Campbell - of an
outlandish and unexpected stipulation
to the contest: Campbell would need to
be replaced because of St Mary's poli-
cy prohibiting women from taking posi-
tions of authority over men.
Both referees, of course, imme-
diately balked at this absurd request
and left, bringing with them in sympa
thy the other referees who could have
served as potential replacements. As a
final indignity, one of the school's own
administrators ultimately was forced to
officiate the game, which they lost. (A
statement to which the humorist in me
wishes to add. "in every way")
St. Mary's Academy is not a mem-
ber school in die Kansas State High
School Activities Association (KSH
SAA) However, it is on its list of ap-
proved schools, a dubious distinction
which seems to give the school both
the benefit of autonomy and an air of
approval from the stale For the rea-
sonable person, the question is not
whether this behavior should be con-
demned, but rather, "Why are we
even pretending to take these
zealots seriously?"
First, the constitutional argument
of discrimination masquerading as an
issue of religious tolerance; The mo-
ment an organization - religious or
otherwise - joins a state- funded league,
accepts state monies or wishes to bene
fit from the association in any capacity,
it agrees to abide by the state's conven-
tions of nondiscrimination. In this spe-
cific situation, this entails observing Ti-
tle IX. which insists rather straightfor-
wardly that no one will face disenmi
ii, it ion under any educational program
with federal assistance.
In other words, if an organization
wishes to engage in blatant discrimina-
tory behavior, it must do so without the
benefit of the state's money or its sup-
port St Mary's is no exception, and
any other interpretation of the law is an
affront to the other associated schools,
those without openly misogynistic rules
on their books.
And as for the moral case: The sil-
liness of this pathetic little snub is self-
evident, but the implications might not
be We must - not only as taxpayers
but as proponents of liberal democra-
cy - condemn this appalling miscon-
duct, and we must do so without com-
punction This is a more necessary im-
perative than the apologists might wish
for you to believe, the systematic sub-
jugation of women usually foreshad-
ows much more sinister bigotry, and as
a corollary, the emancipation of wom-
en usually serves as a leading indicator
of a society's successful development
It must be said: Those at St,
Mary's Academy have the right lo prac-
tice their religion as they wish, but we
shouldn't sanction it with either our
dollars or our consciences. KSHSAA's
immediate and wholesale disassocia
tion from these extremists is a neces-
sary but insufficient condition for main-
taining decency; we must continue to
condemn it after the procedural judg-
ments have come to pass.
If the KSHSAA decides upon any
other consequence, they wUl haw done
themselves, every member school and
the rest of Kansas a grave disservice

The soundtrack to the
movie, with song lyrics like,
"I've got my Scrabble game,

ever, it is the first soundtrack

meant to be inauthen-
tic.
"Juno is the most au-
thentic character in the
film." Reitman said in the
article.
Most people's inabili-
ty to appreciate who they arc
goes hand-in-hand with their
obsession with celebrities
Because many of us are not
content with who we are and
Hit
the places we are in, we look
to people who seem to live
larger than life, who have all
thai money can buy
Author Donald Miller
addresses this problem in his
influential book, "Blue Like
Jazz."
"I think ... that there is
this undercurrent in soci-
ety that says some people
are cool and some people
aren't," he wrote. "And it is
very, very important that we
are cool So when we find
somebody who is cool and
on television or on the radio,
we associate ourselves with
this person to feel valid our-
selves."
People who don't try to
act like other people are at-
tractive There is a confi-
dence and assurance around
them that people notice and
want to be around.
What is the age-old ad
vice given when a friend asks
how to act on the first date?
Just be yourself. Why do we
only use that adage for spe-
cial occasions but not in ev-
eryday life?
Miller went on to say
in his book that "everybody
wants to be fancy and new.
Nobody wants to be them-
selves If there was a guy
who just liked being himself
and didn't want to be any- ■
body else, that guy would be
the most different guy in the
world and everyone would J
want lobe him"
Our generation is grow-
ing tired of mass-produce J,
beauty- pageant smiles. We "
want people to just be them-
selves. So when you feel dif
ferent, think of Juno, and
don't be afraid to keep talk
ing on your hamburger
phone.

STUDENT tOOV PRESIDENT ELECTION
SGA candidate emphasizes change
By Scott Girard
KANSAS STATE COLLEGIAN
Bryan Cox, student body
president candidate and junior
in political science, answered
a few ques-
tions about
his platform
and goals
Wednesday
afternoon.
Why did
you decide
to run for
president?
1 decided to run because I had
a number of people that came
to me, both in the Student Sen
ale and not in the Student Sen-
ate, and they expressed their
desire for me to run for student
body president. They said, "You
ought to run. You should run"
They wanted to know why I
wasn't running
What kind of experience do
you have thai would help you
as student body president?
I've been in Student Senate for
three years. I've been alloca-
tions chair for the past year. I
know how to chair a commit-
tee I know how to run things I
know how to gel people work-
ing and get them motivated ..
I'm very involved, very active.
and 1 know about and am con-
cerned and passionate about
the issues
What are the most important
issues you would address as
president?
Our platform is think about the
issues, and then change them'
So it's not a call to just thought,
but ii's a call to action - a call
to actually make an impact and
make a difference in people's
lives. ... So whal we're doing is
we're talking about three dif-
ferent things: Think function
ill. think freedom and think fu-
ture First of all, functional, get-
ting those podcasls so that stu-
dents can still get the materi-
al for their lectures, even when
they can't necessarily make it
to it because of an emergen-
cy or illness or whal have you
Second, enhancing, revamping
Ihe freshman orientation class-
es to make them more interest
ing, more fun and better classes
for freshmen. And the freedom
part, just having an eye toward
safety and security on campus
through enhanced freshman
classes, leaching campus safe-
ty as well as better visibility of
the Women's Center on uini
pus And then finally thinking
toward the future upon the en-
vironmental aspect of the fis-
cal aspeel - getting renewable
energy generation put out and
working with the students that
are already working toward that
end and enabling and throwing
the whole support of the SGA
behind him.
Was your slogan "Think.
Change," inspired by the
Barack Obama presidential
campaign?
The original thought that I had
for the platform was totally dif
ferent It was Significance,
Safety and Sustainability" Pip-
er [Hoskinsj and my campaign
staff came up with the idea of
'Think Change" and I thought
il was great. It doesn't really
have a relation to the Obama
campaign
Why write the first names
with Ihe chalking when
others use last names? Is It
to relate with students at a
personal level?
To some extent, yeah Our last
names just didn't have the ring
that we were looking for It's
nothing like just trying to be
personal. Honestly they didn't
have the ring, and I Ihink that
Ihe "Bryan/Piper" looks better
and it sounds better. But I do
think people will identify with
that more

questions
about his
goals for his
candidacy
Wednesday GLAZIER
afternoon.
Why did you decide to run?
We decided to run because
the three platforms we have
are issues that my running
mate and 1 find important to
the K- State community, and
they have been voiced by stu
dents and friends, and so we
decided it was an appropri-
ate time to take it on
What do you want to see
improved on campus?
Our main platform is cam-
pus safety. We want to see
funding of the police depart
ment increased We want to
get more officers out there.
Also, we would like to have
alcohol allowed during foot-
ball games because it is al-
lowed in various other loca-
tions, luxury suites The Uni-
versity of Kansas even allows
it So why can't we'
How are you advertising
yourself as a candidate?
We have a Web site out umm>-
gtaziermiUer.com. We have
signs all over campus, chalk-
ing The chalking promotes
our Web site, and signs have
our e-mails We are also en-
couraging our supporters to
wear purple. We are also go-
ing to have a kick-off party
soon. Word of mouth is an-
other big way we are adver-
tising, and we are asking sup-
porters to get on Facebook.
com and join the group.
If elected, whal do you hope
to do while In office?
I hope to accomplish our
three platforms. Our slogan
is "Real people, realistic re
suits" We consider ourselves
"average Joe" candidates
We think that the three plat-
forms can be accomplished in
the next year or so We want
more conservative spending
and keeping control on tu
ition. Tuition cap is not fea-
sible We are looking to get
an equal balance of recogni-
tion of student activities on
campus
What Issue do you believe
is most important on your
platform?
Campus safety for sure It is a
concern for a lot of students,
especially since the Virgin-
ia Tech and the Northern Il-
linois tragedies Sadly this is
something we have lo wor-
ry about. We have to spend
some serious time looking
into and taking care of it tn a
million years, we would have
never thought it would have
been the issue, but we need
to look into it. We should
also look into planning if this
should ever happen.
Whal do you think sets you
apart from Ihe other candi-
dates?
We consider ourselves the
"average Joes." Over my years
at K State we have seen that
some of the SGA represen-
tatives have become out of
touch with the average stu-
dents. That will not be hap-
pening with us. If you don't
think that we are just "reg
ular Joes," ask the people at
the bars for us that will tell
you otherwise We are real
guys looking to make a dif-
ference

against Oklahomas Courtney Pans in the Wildcat; 68-65 loss Wednesday night in Bramlage Coliseum
TOP: Sophomore forward Ashley Sweat puts up a shot in the first half against Oklahoma
By Joel Jell I son
KANSAS STATE COLLEGIAN
With a 10-point halftime lead, it
looked like No. 15 K-State was going
to hand No. 1 1 Oklahoma its second
straight loss.
The Sooners' sister pair of junior
center Courtney Paris and junior for-
ward Ashley Paris scored 29 points in
the second half to halt the Wildcats up-
set bid and win 68-65 Wednesday at
Bramlage Coliseum.
K-State (18-7.1 10 2 Big 12 confer-
ence) went on a 19-8 run late in the first
half to establish a 38-28 lead at half-
time K State coach Deb Patterson was
pleased with the way the team defended
Oklahoma and the Paris sisters through
that portion of the game.
"1 don't think that we are going to
be perfect," Patterson said. "I do think
we had some possessions we probably
could have converted on. but I felt pret-
ty good about our rebounding and our
defense al that stage of the game "
The halftime lead diminished ear-
ly as Oklahoma (19-5, 9-3 Big 12) went
on a 7-2 run to cut the lead to five with
17 05 left in the game. The Sooners fol-
lowed with an additional 15-4 run to
take a 52 46 lead Courtney Pans led
the run with eight points. She finished
the game with 27 points and 10 re-
bounds
K-State battled back to lie the game
58-58 when sophomore forward Ashley
Sweat hit a three pointer with 535 left
in the half Sweat led the Wildcats with
25 points, a season-high. She credited
the effort to the mismatch of her be-
ing guarded by a traditional post player,
Ashley Paris.
"I definitely think obviously it was
une of my better games on the offensive
end. but I think that attributes to the
fact that I feel I had a mismatch only
because I feel like Ashley Paris plays in-
side all the time, she's not used to com-
ing out and guarding someone who
shoots or drives," Sweat said.
Oklahoma extended Its lead to 66-
61 with 2:33 left Senior guard Kim her
ly Dieti knocked down two free -throws
and scored a basket with 1:11 left to
make the score 66-65
Ashley Paris knocked down two
free throws with 40 seconds left to give
the Sooners a three-point lead. K-State
got open three-point attempts from Di-
et! with 13 seconds left and Sweat with
four seconds left, but could not convert
on either opportunity
The Paris sisters combined to shoot
17-of-26 from the field while the rest of
the team finished 9-of-25 from the floor
K-State junior forward Marlies Gipson
said the sisters were tough.
"They're both definitely great play-
ers, and they have a great sense for
where each other is," Gipson said
Patterson called the Wildcats ef-
fort a "tale of two halfs," with Oklaho-
ma having the better game when it mat-
tered in the second half.
"We were very good in the first half
and Oklahoma struggled and they were
very good in the second half and we
struggled," Patterson said. "I think that
pretty much puts a stamp on it ll was
a game in which two great basketball
teams comes down to one position."
Dietz, the Wildcats leading scorer
at 17 points per game in Big 12 play,
struggled to find her shot going 2 for 1 1
frum the field and finishing with nine
points Dietz. also the team's leading
three-point shooter averaging 2 4 threes
per game this season, made just 1 of 5
attempts in the loss.
K State takes to the road next to
play Colorado for a game at 8 p.m. Sat
urday. The Wildcats have four games

Wednesday night
Wildcats suffer 3rd-consecutive road loss
By Wendy Haun
KANSAS STATE COLLEUAN
LINCOLN, Neb. - K-State
couldn't find an answer lo its
mounting road woes Wednes-
day, dropping a 71-64 lacklus-
ter effort to Nebraska.
"Give them credit," said
coach Frank Martin "They
came out there and played with
a lot more passion than we did.
and they deserved to win"
K-State (186, 7 3 Big 12
Conference) had a 6-2 lead to
open the game, but Nebras-
ka slowly whittled away at K-
State's lead, taking it away from
the Wildcats at the 1 1 :28 mark
on a three-point shot by sopho-
more guard Sek Henry.
"We came out the first half.
and we didn't play well." said
senior guard Blake Young "We
would try to make a run and
they kept coming and we would
give up easy baskets If you
want to win on the road, you
can't give up easy layups."
The Huskers (15-9, 4-7 Big
12) extended their lead in the
first half to eight points. K-State
forced one tic in the first half
and got as close as one twice
in the first half but could nev-
er mount a significant scoring
streak.
The Wildcats took the lead
in the second halt at the 15:57
mark, but within a minute and a
half, senior center Aleks Marie
made a jump shot to claim the
lead for the rest of the game.
K-State cut the lead to one
with 4 52 left on a three -point
basket from Young, but Ne-
braska scored the last six points
of the game to effectively shul
down the Wildcats Martin said
he was more disappointed by K-
State's defensive problems than
in its offensive production
"I thought it was the most
embarrassing performance of
any team I've ever coached.*'
he said "In 23 years of coach-
ing, it's the most embarrassing
defensive performance of any
team I've ever coached, and
that's including 13 year -olds."
Freshman forward Michael
Bcasley finally got going offen-
sively in the second half, adding
to his first-half point total of five
and finishing with 17. He also
pulled down 10 rebounds for
his 22nd double- double, which
ties him with Camiclo Antho-
ny for most double-doubles in a
season by a freshman.
Also in double figures for
the Wildcats were freshman
guard Jacob Pullen, who fin-
ished with 15, freshman for-
ward Bill Walker, who had 12

Largest beef recall
stems from animal
mistreament reports
By David Griffin Jr.
KANSAS STATt COLLEGIAN
The largest beef recall in
U.S. history might raise pric-
es and cause concern in oth-
er parts of the country, but K
Slate likely will not be affected.
On Sunday, the US. De-
partment of Agriculture re-
called 143 million pounds of
frozen beef that came from a
Southern California slaughter-
house, according to CSScom
The slaughter house is under
investigations for the mistreat-
ment of cattle
Dick Raymond, undersec-
retary of agriculture (or food
safety, said there was a very
small chance that the beef
could cause illness to humans.
according to CNN
The recall stems in.nn a
video showing Westland/Hall-
mark Meat Packing Company
employees kicking cattle, ram-
ming them with a forklift and
hitting them in the ears in an
attempt to force them to go to
slaughter, according to CNN.
Though the recall con-
cerned many consumers across
the country, none of the meat
was shipped to the Manhattan
area.
"The beef product here at
Kansas State was not affected,"
said Michael Dikeman. profes-
sor in animal sciences. "The
,'iily recall was In California."
There are many proce
dures taken to protect campus
beef products, said Ryan Brein-
■T, assistant instructor in ani-
mal sciences.
"The beef is safe here at
Kansas State." Bremer said.
"There should be no worries
We have multiple locking safe-
guards for our product."
CNN explained further
that officials estimate that about
37 million pounds of the re-
called beef went to school pro-
grams, but they believe most of
the meat probably has already
been eaten There have been no
reported illnesses linked to the
beef at any of the schools.
The US DA called the recall
a "Class H" recall, which it de-
fines on its Web site as a health
hazard situation where there is
a remote probability of adverse
health consequences from the
use of the product.
Sheila Lauery, a corporate
Dillons employee, said the re-
call has not affected beef sales
at the store.
"The beef recall did not im-
pact our stores." she said. "We
did not sell any of that beef
product that were recalled It
really doesn't impact Dillons."
On Friday. California pros-
ecutors announced animal cru-
elty charges for two former
West! and/ Hall mark employ-
ees, according to the CNN re-
port

COLLEGIAN
Play confronts issues of race, couples
By Yvonne Ram ire 1
KANSAS MAI b.l I UMttM
The poetic, off-broadway
production "Platanos and Col-
lard Greens," proved there is
little difference between black
and brown skin tones, though
they might originate from a dif-
ferent country and speak a dif-
ferent language
The production, which
has been performed at more
than 100 colleges and univer-
sities across the nation, per
formed at 7 p m Wednesday in
the K Slate Student Union Fo
rum Hall The K-Slate Black
Student Union and Hispanic
American Leadership Organi
zation co-sponsored the play
as part of Black History Month
events.
The play recn acted David
Lamb's book, which is based
on his own personal experi-
ences of being a black man dat-
ing a Dominican woman The
production featured the story
of two college students attend-
ing Hunter College in New
York The characters, Freeman
and Angelita, struggle to sus-
tain their interracial relation
ship that is not accepted by so-
ciety or by Angelita' s mother.
"The message we are try-
ing to portray is unity," said
Phillip Smith, who plays Free-
man "A lot of the students we
meet can relate, interracial dat-
ing is a universal thing"
"Platanos and Collard
Greens" addressed these issues
with thoughtful poetic stances
in almost every scene
"We try 1o spread the word
that people who are Latin are
African as well," Doni Comas,
director of the play, said. The
history of Latin culture was in-
corporated into the production
to give the audience an insight
of where stereotypes come
from as well as tracing Latin
roots to Africa.
Freeman's character also
provided an insight Into what
it's like to be a black man try
ing to be successful in todays
society and political scene by
running for student body presi
dent.
"(The play] also opens the
door to address the issues that
some people may not know
how to address." said Osas Ig
hodoro, who played Malady,
Freeman's running mate
In the end, the couple re
alizes that their own personal
satisfaction is more important
than what society acknowled^
es as socially acceptable.
"It just so happens to be a
Latina and a black man, but it
could be anything. It's just an
example used to address the
bigger picture" said Carissa
Torro, who plays Angelita
Scripts for "Platanos and
Collard Greens" change na-
tionwide Comas said The
cast has about four scripts that
they have to memorize and
perform Production is also
changed to fit the Latino de-
mographic that particular geo-
graphic region is most familiar
with, Coma said For example.
when the production plays in
California they will change the
original nationality of Angelita,
which is Dominican, to Mexi-
can to better relate to the au-
dience In Manhattan, the cast
chose to keep Angelita with
her original nationality.
About 100 people, most-
ly students, filled the main sec-
tion of Forum Hall. The play
received good reviews from
students.
"It spoke the truth about
what stereotypes Latinos and
blacks have to endure," Ciara
Slater, freshman in animal sci-
ences, said.

KSU Juggling club aims to expand group
By Monk* Castro
KANSAS STATE COUEtiiAN
A former marine reintroduced the Jug-
gling Club to the list of clubs available at
K-State in spring 2003
Ryan Bradburn, graduate student in pub-
lic health, said after juggling in the military, he
wanted to continue juggling at K State, but the
juggling club was no longer in existence
Bradburn called the graduating members
of the club and used their knowledge and ex
pertise to get the club started again
"It didn't have a lot of interest at first, but
in the fall of 2003, we got a few high skilled
and energetic jugglers," Bradburn said.
Taking on the role of president for the first
years of the club's existence, Bradburn said he
thought it was important he find others to fill
the role of president to keep the club going
Along with the weekly meeting Thursdays
from 6 to 8 p.m , students involved in the club
have attended juggling festivals across the na-
tion.
The club started (he Little Apple Juggling
Festival, which is in its third year and will be
Feb 22-24. Bradburn said students had been
to juggling festivals in the Kansas City area
and thought it would be nice to have a festival
locally.
"The first year the festival was kind of
small, and last year it was bigger," Bradburn
said "This year it will be even bigger, and peo
pie from all over will be coming."
There will be two shows during the festi-
val - a professional show and a variety show
Jugglers and newcomers also can attend work
shops to learn new tricks or classes to help
teach the basics.
"It will be a weekend of juggling," Brad-
burn said "I really enjoy the juggling commu-
nity here - getting together and creating fes-
tivals to bring people together to have a great
time"
Kirk Preston, club president and senior in
biological and agricultural engineering, said
he has not been to any juggling festivals but
the one in Manhattan.
Preston said he became involved with
the club his freshman year after signing up at
the activities carnival.
"I kind of knew how to juggle before, but
it was a neat novelty club 1 thought would be
fun to join," Preston said.
The club, Preston said, has 15 consistent
members and draws in more interested stu-

"It is just a nice break from the monotony
of school," Preston said. "I enjoy being in the
club because it is something else I can do with
my time"
Austin Roberts, senior in mechanical en
gineering. said the club is an activity he had
been doing since middle school
"I met people that were pretty good at it
and saw a chance to improve by joining the
club," Roberts said
He said he wanted to join the club after
walking past a weekly meeting and remember
ing he knew how to do some tricks
Roberts said his favorite aspects of the
club were the social events and the shows the
club would do for charity or donations.
"It is really fun being in this club, and the
people are great," Roberts said "It is not hard
to improve All you have to do is just prac-
tice"

KATE'S STORY
Kate wished to rvmain
anonymous in this story, and
c&tain details have been held
ty,r investigation purposes
Kate met P when tie moved
to- her hometown, near Wichita
when she was a senior in high
5£l)ool. He was the new kid.
•nd Kate said she felt bad for
+wm the first time she saw him
Wause he was sitting all alone.
u> she asked him to sit with her
and her friends.
Later that year P. moved,
but they kept in contact.
When Kate was a freshmen,
in December 2006 she went
back home to visit her lamily
for Christmas break P. was also
irT town and he kept calling Iut.
wanting to hang out At about
1 p m. on Dee 2 J, Kate and a
friend went to a party where
V was at. They played a drink
ing game called Quarters, and
Kate drank two small drinks.
Kale said P told her that her
drink was not strong enough, so
he and his sister went into the
kitchen to make another. When
he came back out. Kale said he
and his sister were looking at
nd) other oddly and grinning
Kale drank what they gave
her, and she said soon after she
could feel her body reacting.
I couldn't walk straight,
and everything was pret-
ty flashy,'' she said "I don't re
member a lot of things from
the evening It was like a strobe
light"
P. convinced her he could
take her home, and so they left
the puny and he look her to his
step-sister's home.
"I just remember being in
the guest bedroom and he was
on lop of me and he started
kissing me and the next thing
I knew my pants were off and
he was having sex with me," slit-
said "When 1 eame to. 1 told
him no. . and he just said 'no,
no Kate, you know il feels good
so you shut the fuck upf and I
blacked out again."
The next day. Christmas
Eve. Kale said when she woke
her head felt like someone had
hit it with a brick.
"I knew that he did rape
me and for how long or whal
else he did. I didn't know"
Kate said she didn't know
what (0 do. She told her broth
er, and soon after she told her
parents who were supportive
They took her to the hospital to
check for sexually transmitted
diseases, which she tested nega-
tive, and then they filed a report
with the police, telling them ev-
erything that had happened.
"They had plenty of evi-
dence," she said "I had the un-
derwear 1 hadn't washed them
or my jeans. He didn't even
lake the underwear off when he
raped me, so they had semen on
them"
RECOVERY
Kate is now attending
K-Stale. It has taken her a
year and two months, and she
is finally ready lo publicize
her story, however nothing
has been done to her rapist.
Though Kale said she and her
parents filed the police report,
not even a warrant has been
issued for P's arrest.
She said her recovery has
been long and difficult.
"II just took a lot of time
and a lot of sleep" she said "1
basically threw away two se-
mesters of school because I
couldn't even get out of bed be-
cause it was easier to just sleep
then have to think about what
was going on"
Kale wrote a journal entry
about how she was feeling:
"I constantly feel like I'm
on Ihe verge of crying, but 1
won't let it out because I Ihink
il will be easier to just hold it in
I haven't been ealing very much
because after 1 eat I feel really
sick to my stomach I just feel
sick with myself. I hate looking
in the mirror anymore, because
when I do, I hale what I see. I
think about it. what happened."
She said a friend referred
her to the Women's Center and
to Mary Todd Through talking
to them she connected with a
counselor, and she said finally
she has been feeling more like
her previous self.
"I have always been a re
ally strong person." she said.
"Nothing ever has gotten lo me.
and obviously this has to gel to
you I'm not bigger than this
problem and it broke me. and it
still breaks me every once in a
while, but I've learned healthy
ways of dealing with it"
As Kate has been improv-
ing, she said she realized how
much her rape had affected her
overall,
"He took away me," she
said "He stole me He stole my
identity. He stole my personal-
ity and what I did and what I
thought was right and what I
felt safe doing."
DEBATE | Candidates answer
questions of environment, safety
Continued from P»q*1
make II a more green -friend-
ly campus?
-Glazier said K-State can talk
to professors and try to switch
to a paperless system. He
said many people are worried
about bottles and glass, and he
said K- St ate should look more
at what we're printing assign-
ments on
-Cox said he and his running
mate, Piper Huskins, junior in
economics and political sci-
ence, want to throw their full
support behind an effort to get
recycling not just between ev-
ery building on campus but in-
side all of them as well He also
said solar energy could easily
be installed for the Union and
ihe rec, and savings could be
realized by the time freshmen
leave campus.
-Peele said going green is ab-
solutely necessary She ex-
plained thai K- St ate is gelt ing
a lot of new buildings on cam-
pus, and Ihey are working lo
make the buildings "green."
She said K- Stale received a
D+ on a test of environmental
sustainability.
-Schurr insisted that with any
green initiative there needs to
be specific studies He said so-
lar cells atop the Union might
provide only half the energy
needed. He said he's not an
expert in solar but knows a
loi about "the winds"
"Even I would need
council from experts, from
those who know," he said.
-Culver said he noticed a
"recycling truck thing" on
the way to class, and he said
K State obviously has a re-
cycling program, but it's not
good enough So as ninjas,
he said, they will keep cam-
pus clean and eliminate all
pirates and their "dirty ways
of trashy filth"
"You elect pirates, and
you're gonna gel an P." he
said.
Whal do you plan to do to
moke K-Slate safer for stu-
dents?
"Who knows what to do
when there's an emergen-
cy situation''" Cox asked.
Cox said he and Piper would
like to revamp ihe fresh-
man orientation classes so
they provide thai informa-
tion lo students. He said he
did not want lo make Ihe
classes mandatory but want
ed to make them valuable.
He also said he wants lo in-
crease lighting on campus
and make the Women's Cen-
ter more visible.
"It's absolutely necessary,"
Peele said She said K State is
not doing enough right now.
and Ihe university needs lo
find out exactly whal needs
to be done lo prepare stu-
dents and staff for the worst
She said she wants to start by
increasing the number of po
lice officers on campus from 6
p.m. to 3 ii in.
"We also want lo make
sure Ihe parking garage is
making safety a priority as
well," she said.
Schurr agreed with Cox on
the lighting issue. He said the
lighting will help root out the
ninjas where they might be
hiding in the shadows Schurr
said the ninja crime issue is
bad. Schurr said he will incur
porate a "defense against Ihe
martial arts" course.
-Culver said he already has
placed ninjas all over K-Stale.
He said Ihey are there for slu
denls' protection.
Glazier said he has more ex-
perience in this area than the
other candidates because he
was part of the lohnson Court
ty Sheriffs Office He said
the campus police are under
staffed but are definitely do
ing their job to their best abil-
ities He said K-Stale needs to
give them the tools to improve
their working capacity.

STAPLEY | Professor uses memory of Sept. 1 1 as reminder of his goals
Continued from Pag* 8
1 1 1 percent of the program's stu-
■ be said
"The program really gains
row having such a depth of
diversity m terms of our stu
dent population," Stapky said
What you gel when you udd
(1 itte rent perspectives re-
■ synergistic in that (he end
result is much greater than the
sum of the parts"
Less than seven years ago
Stapley said terrorism was not
a mainstream study - he said
he was considered a "kook" In
2006-07, he served as an aca-
demic fellow with the Founda-
tion lor Dcteiise of Democra-
cies hi Israel where he studied
terrorism with other terrorism
researchers.
" People that studied terror
lsi ii were on the fringes of po-
litical science," he said Since
that lime, I think people have
understood the need for a sys
leu ia tic and empirical study
into terrorism"
Terrorism is very real in
Slaplcy's life, he said. He often
is asked how he sleeps at night
with the knowledge he has
about the subject area A small
bumper sticker is taped on Sta-
ploy's desk that reads "Caution:
stay 110 meters back or you
will be shot" in English and Ar
abic Stapley's brother-in-law,
who works as a dog handler
in Iraq, sent Stapley the stick-
er that covered his Rlackwaler
truck
"It's pretty sobering and
pretty hard to deal with it
sometimes," he said. "The way
that I choose to deal with a lot
of these things is through hu
mor Obviously for me. that's a
joke For them, it's all too real,
sadly"
Other symbols of Stapley's
academic studies surround his
office. Books on understanding
terrorism fill his bookshelf A
small bust of Abraham Lincoln
sits on his desk and a painting
of George Washington hangs
on the wall The US had signif-
icant forefathers - Stapley calls
these men "some of his many
heroes."
But one poster hangs past
the bookshelf and desk that
serves as a daily reminder for
Stapley At the top of the post
er is a photograph of the New
York City skyline with the Twin.
Towers that reads "Never For-
get ..." The poster's bottom por-
tion shows a post -Sept. 1 f sky-
line with the message "Why we
study this subject."
"I love this poster," Stapley
said in a quiet voice, pointing to
the wall "It helps explain what
I do"

McCain
to feature
influential
classic play
ByAdrtanneDeWeese
KANSAS STATE O0UJGMR
A classic Tennessee Wil
liams' play with modern-day TV
show phit parallels will make a
stop at K-State this weekend
as part of the McCain Perfor-
mance Series.
The Montana Repertory
Theatre will present "Cat on a
Hot Tin Roof" at 7:30 p m Sat-
urday at McCain Auditorium.
The play features different lev
els of relationships with South-
ern patriarchal and roman-
tic themes, said Thorn Jackson,
McCain assistant director for
marketing and dcvelopment.
The play features Big Dad
dy Pollirt, a wealthy Mississip-
pi plantation owner. Unaware
of his tennmal cancer, Big Dad-
dy celebrates his 65th birthday
with his sons, Bnck and Goop-
er. and their families, Jackson
said Big Daddy's classic char-
acter could be compared with
Tony Soprano from TV's "The
Sopranos"
"It's about controlling the
relationships between men
and women during that time
where boundaries and lines
are drawn," Jackson said "It's
a test of authority when peo-
ple have been beaten down so
many times they're going to lash
back"
The play also features
B nek's wife, Maggie, who loves
Brick, but he ignores her and
their strained marriage because
of his alcoholism Maggie un-
successfully tries to capture
Brick's attention with anoth-
er relationship, which Jackson
said is like a modem day "Des-
perate Housewives" plot
"She tries to manipulate
him and make him jealous by
playing up to another man,
and you can see how well that
doesn't turn out," Jackson said.
"It's just such a powerful show,
and I think that's why it's such a
classic because it asks you that
'what if scenario"
Richard Brooks' 1958 "Cat
on a Hot Tin Roof" screenplay
adaptation featured Elizabeth
Taylor and Paul Newman and
was nominated for six Acade
my Awards. Williams also won
a Pulitzer Prize for Drama in
1955
The McCain Performance
Series last featured "Cat on a
Hot Tin Roof about 20 years
ago, Jackson said
Though the language was
altered in the 1958 movie adap-
tation, Saturday's performance
ol "Cat on a Hot Tin Roof will
include adult language and sub-
ject matter, Jackson said
Tickets are $12.50 for K
State students, $23 for K State
faculty and $25 for the general
public For additional ticket in-
formation or to purchase tick-
ets, go to wwwk-state.edu/mc-
cain or call the McCain Box Of-
fice at 785 532-6428 between
11 am. and 5pm weekdays.
Audience members are in-
vited to stay after the perfor-
mance to discuss the play and

Campus cafes offer variety of cappuccinos
Campus cappuccinos
R«vicwi by Ma Puk
One part espresso, one part miUt and one part
frothed milk equals 100 percent of bouncing off the
walls - or a cappuccino.
Our campus caters to those in need of a coffee buzz
quite well with options like the Cat's Den and Caribou
CAT'S DEN
(STUDENT UNION FIRST FLOOR)
Grind master Cappuccino Machine
Flavors: white chocolate caramel or French
vanilla
Sties 12,16 and 24 ounces
Coft (tax included) S M 1 2 ounce), 51.15(16
ounce) and 5 1 30 (24 ounce)
Review The cappuccino tastes too much like
hot chocolate and is extremely sugary. There's not
much of a coffee taste, and I don't think there's really
much caffeine. Patrons are more likely to get a sugar
high or cavity than anything else. The drink is thick
in texture, syrupy and leaves a nasty after taste.
Be sure to chug some water or brush your teeth
afterward. On the positive side, the lines are usually
pretty short and prices are affordable. Keep in mind
you get what you pay for — which isn't much.
CAFfQ
(ENGINEERING COMPLEX)
Bamta-made cappuccino made with Kaldi Coffee
espresso
Syrup flavors: Vanilla, almond roca, caramel,
cherry, chocolate mint, cinnamon, coconut, hazel-
nut, Irish creme, mango, peppermint, raspberry
and strawberry. Sugar-free syrups include vanilla,
caramel and hazelnut flavors.
Slut: 12, 16, or 20 ounces
Cost 5 2 55 ( 1 2 ounce), S 2,95 ( 1 6 ounce) and
53.45 (20 ounce)
Review The drink has a good balance between
milk and espresso. Kaldi Coffee has strong flavor,
but it's not rich enough to hide the bitter coffee
aftertaste. The nice thing about Cafe Q is that the
baristas ask if you'd like a "wet* — more milk — or
"dry" — more froth — cappuccino. The customized
drink orders and friendly baristas are a plus.
CARIBOU COFFEE
(UNION FIRST FLOOR)
Barista-made cappuccino with Caribou's own
brand of coffee
Syrup flavors: Caramel, marshmellow, raspberry.
mint, vanilla, cinnamon, almond, Irsh cream, cherry
and hazelnut.
Slits: 12,16, 20 ounces
Cost: 52.65 (12 ounce), 53.20 (16 ounce) and
S3.50 (24 ounce)
Review: There's a good mixture of froth, milk
and espresso in these cappuccinos. The drink has a
very bold taste; you definitely cant miss the coffee
flavor With Caribous coffee, if you're not a serious
espresso lover, you might need some sugar or a fla-
vored syrup to relax the concentration. Don't drink
this cappuccino unless you plan to bounce off the
walls all afternoon.
BOOKENDCAfE
(HALE LIBRARY GROUND FLOOR)
Bartsta-made cappuccino with Starbucks brand
espresso
Syrup flavors: almond, amaretto, caramel,
cherry, chocolate, chocolate mint, cinnamon, creme
de menthe, coconut, hazelnut, Irish creme, praline,
strawberry, raspberry and vanilla
Sizes: 12, 1 6 or 20 ounces
Cost: 52.90 11 2 ounce), 53.20 ( 1 6 ounce} and
53.50 (20 ounce)
Review As usual, Starbucks products have
smooth flavor and little to no after taste. The flavor
is rich and perfected, and the cappuccino has an
appropriate balance of espresso, milk and foam
However, the cappuccino-making process seems a lot
more robotic and machine oriented than at Cafe Q or
Caribou Coffee
Coffee, both in the K-State Student Union; The Book
end Cafi in Hale Library; and Cafi Q in the Engineering
Complex With a variety of places and prices, students
have the opportunity to find the drink for them.
I took a trip across campus to try each location's
cappuccino Some were great, some terrible and some
gave me a caff erne hangover from which I'm still recov-
ering. Ratings are given in cappuccino mugs.

ASK THE FIFTH YEAR
5th year: Befriend architecture students; claim studio to hang out
I made the mistake of
befriending all architecture
majors, and now they're
never
around. I'm
bored. How
can I hang
out with
them?
Go on
down to
Seaton Hall, ADAM
and go into REICHENSERGEfl
room 110,
Ignore the
redhead and hippie to the
right, the clean-cut gentle-
men to your left and head to-
ward the back of the room.
In front of the windows you'll
see an empty drafting table
with the name Justine taped
across the top If you browse
through the drawers you'll
find two yo yo's, a pack of
Bazooka Joe bubble gum and
Gary Larson's "Far Side" col-
lection, "The Curse of Ma-
dame C."
Justine's mine This sc
mesler I was awarded an
honorary desk and lock-
er in the architecture studio
It took me three and a half
years of bugging the hell out
of them and "accidently" ru-
ining their projects for them
to realize I should have a
desk of my own so maybe I'd
stop messing with theirs.
I have the utmost re-
spect for architecture ma-
jors I admire their determi-
nation, hard work, motiva
tion and talent. Conversely,
since they're all my friends,
I loathe their determination,
hard work, motivation and
talent
You could just cut your
losses, write them off as a
lost cause, and go on with
your life But if you've gotten
this far, you're well aware if
you're friends with one archi-
tect, you're friends with 20
One could be fairly painless
and easy to cut out of your
life, but 20? That could leave
a dent
They're like hippos They
go everywhere together, smell
awful, shed water like a hot
tin roof, have freakish dis
proportionately small ears,
and if you make eye contact,
they're likely to stab you in
the chest with a giant tooth.
I don't know why they travel
in herds, they just do. You in-
vite one to a party, and a line
of 17 is sure to trail.
They'll ask, "Mind if I
bring over a couple archi-
tect buddies?" And you'll say,
"Sure, the more the merrier."
Then they'll show up at your
door and enter one at a time
with your friend in front in-
troducing. "Here's Joseph,
Eric, Kelly, Anthony, Scott
Nolan, Cletus, Nadine, Jose-
phine, Jacqueline, Roberto.
Jonesie, Stevesie, Linda, Car-
la ..."
Instead of writing them
off, I chose to keep them
around by going to them. I
staked out their studio and
set up camp. I went in all
the time, and if they weren't
there, I'd leave a note, maybe
something like: "I farted in
your chair," or "one of these
pens has been in my pants ...
I'll let you figure out which."
I ale there, I studied
there, I read there, 1 relaxed
there, and unbeknownst to
them. I slept there too.
No, it's not easy being
an architect's friend. They're
moody, they're reliably busy,
they don't build Starbucks
models when you ask, and
lately, they've been loading
Justine with all their crap.
People will do what they
want to do And if you've got
lots of time and want to keep
your friends, you'll have to go
see them. They're not going
to stop doing what they do
until those five years are up.
Try getting your own desk
Just leave Justine alone -
she's mine.

Berhard. The team, which also
includes detainee Adolf Burger,

tempts to weaken the economy
of Germany's allied opponents,
Adolf refuses to use his skills for
Nazi profit and would like to do
something to stop Operation
Bernhardt aid to the war effort.
Faced with a moral dilemma,
Salomon must decide whether
his actions, which could prolong
the war and risk the lives of fel-
low prisoners, are ultimately the
right ones.

DREAM Act stirs emotions on both sides of immigrant issue
By Monica Castro
KANSAS STATE OQU Et.lAN
Of the 2 8 million stu-
dents who will graduate
from U.S. high schools this
year, some might go to col-
lege or serve in the military
while others will not have
the same opportunity.
This situation will af-
fect about 65,000 teens be-
cause their parents are ille-
gal immigrants, according
to the National Immigra
tion Law Center Web site
The Development,
Relief, and Education for
Alien Minors Act, also
known as the DREAM act.
was introduced in the U.S.
Senate in November of
2001 to solve this issue, but
was never passed as a na-
tional law Kansas is one of
nine states that have ver-
sions of the DREAM Act
Under the provisions
of this act. children who
entered the United States
five years before the act
and under 16 at the time of
entry are eligible for a siv
year conditional residen
cy status after they cam an
associates degree or two
years of military service.
With good moral char-
acter, the applicant can ap-
ply for US citizenship af-
ter their six -year condition-
al residency
This act remains a
controversial issue among
citizens because it benefits
children of illegal immi-
grants by allowing them to
continue their education
Samuel Ornelas, se-
nior in kinesiology and ad-
vocate of the DREAM Act,
said tin- .id would benefit
children of undocument-
ed parents because they
would receive the same
options and financial aid
to help pay for college.
"This is going to help
people and not hurt peo-
ple - it will help the econ-
omy, the state economy,"
said Ornelas, who is also
a member of the Hispanic-
American Leadership Or-
ganization "It will break
the cycle of poverty, be-
cause educated people will
add to the economy."
Several students who
are involved in various or-
ganizations on campus, like
HALO and Sigma Lambda
Beta Fraternity, Inc., say
the act not only benefits
the offspring of illegal im
migrants but will also ben-
efit society as a whole
Ornelas said the
DREAM Act is important
to him because he is from
a Hispanic community in
southwest Kansas
Hispanic people, he
said, are one of the largest
illegal immigrant commu-
nities
"It affects us (Hispan-
ksl because we grow up
with these people, they
might be mine our family,
brother, sister, or relatives,"
Ornelas said "They don't
have a voice and we have
to lake the responsibility to
be their voice"
As a Hispanic, Or
nelas said, he thinks if no
one does anything, no one

K-State Rodeo starts tonight at Weber Arena
By Kristin Hodges
KANSAS STATE COLLEGIAN
The K-Stale Rodeo begins to
night and calf roping, bull riding
and goat tying will dominate We-
ber Arena all weekend.
Doug Mullcr, KSU rodeo
coach, said about 16 teams from
universities, community and junior
colleges from Kansas and Okiaho
ma will participate this weekend.
"We have contestants spread
out throughout the weekend,"
Muller said "There is not OBI
night that is all K-Stalc. I think
people would enjoy themselves if
they came out to watch and sup-
port the Cats"
Most of K-Statc's rodeo mem-
bers, both men and women, will
compete in the weekend's events
Mullcr said he thinks K-State will
compete well in goal tying, barrel
racing and calf roping, and he said
there is a member of the team that
is good at the team roping event
"The girls are in really good
shape as far as being where they
need to be," Muller said. 'They're
taking a step up."
As for the men, Muller said
there is a lot of talent "just not a
lot of luck" in the events,
"You have to draw for stock,"
Muller explained about the events
' If you don't get from middle of
the herd to the better end, you
have a hard time competing"
Beth McQuade, program
chair for the KSU Rodeo Club,
said each day of the rodeo will tea
lure a main event.
"I'm really excited," Mc-
Quade. junior in animal scienc
es, said. "There are a lot of new
and exciting things, and 1 hope
this year's rodeo is one of the best
we've had in a long lime"
Tonight is Tough Enough to

Students
urged
to receive
flu shot
By Jenna Stavuizo
KANSAS S I A 1 1- i IHIN.t.lAN
Though the influenza
vaccine might not protect all
of its recipients against every
type of the virus, Manhattan
health educators ure continu
ing to urge students to guard
their immune systems and in-
vest in the vaccine
The flu vaccine is 80
percent effective, said Fran-
cis Koopman, physician as-
sistant at Mercy Regional
Health Center. He said there
are many strands of the flu,
and pharmaceutical compa-
nies develop the flu shot each
year by identifying the strand
most expected to break out
during flu season.
Monitoring which spe
cific strands of the virus are
appearing in the summer
months prior to the typical
winter flu season allow phar
maceutical companies to pre-
dict which strand will be
must widespread and create
the vaccine for that purlieu
laryear, Koopman said
"It's important to do all
you can to prevent yourself
from contracting the flu," said
Theresa Doyle, health edu
calor al Lafene Health Cen
Ut Each year, particular flu
strands are going to be more
prominent than others. Tin.
shot doesn't guarantee you
won't gel flu like symptoms.
but it lessens the chances of
getting it. It just depends on
which strand is in the area"
Lafene has given more
than 1,000 flu vaccines this
season and no longer has
vaccine in stock, Doyle said
However. Mercy Regional
Health Center still is offer
ing the vaccine to the general
public.
Koopman said he ihinks
the idea that ihe v<n <
does not protect its recipients
against the virus is a miscon-
ception. The flu vaccine pro
vides some degree of prolec
tion against the virus no mat-
ter which strand the patient
is infected with, he said
"It is very important to
get the flu shot prior to flu
season," Koopinun said Y-\
mary flu virus prediction!
change a bit - people can still
get the cummon symptoms
However, if you get the shot,
it gives you some immunity
even if you gel another type
of influenza Students should
protect themselves as much
as they can
SeeHU Pdtje 1 )
FLU FACTS
- Every year in the United
Slates, five to 70 percent of
people get the flu
-More than 200.000 people
are hospitalized from flu
complications
-About 36,000 people die
from the flu.

Bus aids disabled students, faculty
ByWMttwyNw
ISANSAS STATE COtUOAM
a
With the current parking sit-
uation many students would love
lo be dropped off in front of their
ilasscs every day, however, for
K-State student Ashley Wagner
this service is a necessity
Disability Support Scrvic-
M provides free shuttle bus ser-
vices to K-State students and
faculty with permanent disabili-
ties and temporary injuries, like
Wagner, sophomore in psychol-
ogy and pre-med, who is quad-
i iplegic and uses a power wheel
chair
DSS has been around for
more than ten years and of
fers the shuttle bus as an ex-
tra service that is a vital asset to
K State campus, said Jaclyn An-
derson, assistant director of dis-
ability support services.
Since there has been a re-
cent increase in the amount of
disabled students, the universi-
ty added another shuttle bus to
accommodate the newcomers.
'Iti ere are currently two buses
that carry 14 riders; five perma-
nent and nine temporary Per
manent riders include those who
are in manual or power wheel-
choirs and temporary riders are
those on crutches.
Anderson said many peo-
ple think that the shuttle bus
can take all students However,
it remains policy that the shut-
tle can be used only on campus
and only for students with actual
handicaps,
"We have our policy because
students live all over campus,
and it would be almost impossi-
ble to pick up everyone that lived
off -campus," Anderson said. "We
have lo set limits or we wouldn't
be able to service the students we
have now."
Sanjay Beharry, one of the
full-time shuttle bus drivers, said
all students have different sched-
ules and the increase in the num-
ber uf riders can make it hard to
transport them around campus
"It is d ltd cult at times to get
from point A to point B with
all the traffic and student cross-
walks, but we do our best to get
students to their classes and back
to their dorms on time," he said.
Beharry became interested
in driving the shuttle bus around
campus because he has been
around people with disabilities
and wanted to use his expertise
lo help others.
"My niece is in a wheelchair
and working with her inspired
me lo lake this job position to al-
low me to give a little more lo the
K-State students," Beharry said
There are I wo shuttle bus
drivers that operate the shuttle
buses and Wagner said if it wasn't
for them, il could be much more
difficult for her at K-State
SHUTTLE BUS HOURS
Th« ShuttU But Urvka
operate* between the hours
of 7: 1 5 a.m. and 5: 1 S p.m„
Monday through Friday, when
classes are in session.
"I like riding (the bus| be
cause the drivers are really amaz
ing," she said "They are funny,
kind, patient and they are the
big part in getting me to where 1
need to go."
Beharry said he enjoys his
|ob, having been a shuttle bus
driver for a year and a half now,
and he said he realizes how im-
portant the shuttle bus service is
to the students
"They arc all very happy and
appreciative for the services and
everything we do for them, Be-
harry said."
The shuttle bus is private-
ly funded by K State as a cour-
tesy service. Anderson said she
would like to see the university
invest in some kind of bus system
for all students, but tor the mo
ment she is happy with what is
currently offeree! to the students
with disabilities
"It really is a splendid thing
that our administration has of
fered this when they don't have
to spend money on it," Anderson
said

Jaclyn Anderson, assistant director of Disability Support Services, gives a presentation on 'Violence/
Nonviolence and Disability" at Union 21 3 Thursday night.
Disability Support Services addresses
link between violence and disabilities
Oh nuts
By Whitney No*
KANSAS ST Alt <"OU EG] AN
Thousands of disabled
U.Si citizens are abused ev-
ery year by family members
and caretakers
This reality, and many
others, were addressed dur-
ing a lecture as part of "A
Season for Nonviolence"
Thursday evening at the
K- Stale Student Union.
Among the topics dis-
cussed were: disabilities
and violence, women with
disabilities and reporting
crimes, and creating a safe
environment.
|aclyn Anderson, assis-
tant director of DSS, and
lason Mascberg Tomlin-
son, adaptive technologist
specialist of DSS, revealed
several statistics about the
understated relationship of
disabilities and crime
"People with disabili-
ties are 4-10 times higher at
risk for becoming victims of
crime than people without
disabilities," Anderson said.
"Ninety percent of people
with disabilities will be sex-
ually assaulted and only 3
percent will be reported "
The event was spon-
sored by Empower Cats, a
new student group creat-
ed to increase understand-
ing about individuals with
all types of disabilities.
and ACTION through the
Women's Center
"The statistics were
very overwhelming, said
Lauren Porterfield. fresh-
man in public relations. "I
never would have thought
any of that stuff would hap-
pen."
Some of the statistics
showed a very low report-
ing rate of crimes uf dis
abled individuals Ander-
son said there are many
reasons why most of the
crimes on persons with a
disability aren't reported
One of the biggest reasons
for disabled person to not
report a crime is when the
offense came from the main
caretaker and, if reported.

No more bra-burning
Movements have progressed much since 70s
TO THE POINT
MARQUIS
CLARK
iFone has only been exposed
to major media representations, Ihe
two most significant social move
menls of the 20th
century - civ-
il rights and fern
inism - have be
come typified by
left- over hippies
and ultra -perms as
we have entered
the 21st century
But if we look
beneath the sur
face of popular
presentation, we
find movements
that have continued to evolve to
deal with the growing concerns of
the modern global community
Within the fully defined catego-
ries of the "third wave'' of feminism
the voices of third-world women are
starting to make their way into the
mainstream feminist discourse Now
those voices and perspectives have
sparked a great deal of internation-
al organization, applying first -world
resources to third- world problems
The Feminist Majority Founda-
tion Web site provides information
on many ways to get involved in
global activism.
There are opportunities to part-
ner with women in Afghanistan
by supporting the Afghan Women
Empowerment Act of 2007. which
states "that the protection of the
rights of women and girls in Afghan
islan and their full participation in
the reestablishment of democracy
are essential to Afghanistan's recon-
struction, and to achieve such re-
construction, the US government
must commit resources to advance
the rights of women throughout Af-
ghanistan"
Or you can support women in
Iran to protest the detainment of
women's rights activists In 2007,
several US Congress representa-
tives reintroduced the Global De
mocracy Promotion Act, a bill that
would "repeal the Global Gag Rule
and release much needed funds for
international family planning pro-
grams"
Even right here on campus, or-
ganizations like Fair Trade Advo-
cates are trying to link consumers
directly to the producers of goods
around the world. By working to
create a more equitable system of
global trade, they can address issues
like fair wages, gender equity and
safe working environments
I've been critical of civil rights
leaders in the past, but they don't
represent the entire scope of black
civic activism Like changes in fern
inism, increased access to the U.S.
system has allowed new and old
voices alike to continue the press
for civil rights. Organizations like
the Southern Poverty Law Cen-
ter are continuing the fight in a new
generation through consistent ef-
forts to fight inequity within the U S
justice system and by addressing mi
migrant rights abuses
Each year the Covenant with
Black America publishes a book
that details not only the many social
issues facing the black community,

had the excellence of its leaders and

Many parameters have changed
since the early days of civic activ-

typified social and political pro-

supported and sometimes supplant

increasingly complex cultural identi-

In fact, several of the rights that
were so diligently fought for have
been realized to some degree.
But the issues that were forced
into the public discourse have not
entirely disappeared Continued ef-

justice for those who have tradition-
ally been excluded is necessary.

has been at K-State since
2001, improved facili-
ties for football, baseball,
track and field and wom-
en's rowing. He also has
worked to expand the fa-
cilities at Bramlage Col-
iseum. Several big-time
sports including football,
men's and women's bas-
ketball and volleyball
were competitive under
his leadership.
CFO magazine ranked
K-State No. 7 in fiscal
responsibility for athlet-
ics departments in the
nation. This was impres-
sive since K-State has
one of the smallest bud-
gets in the Big 12 Con-
ference.
K-State needs another
AD Like Weiser. The uni-
versity, the athletes and
the fans need someone
who can improve the
quality of K-State sports
and facilities while sav-
ing money.
Since K-State can-
not fix its problems by
spending more mon-
ey, it's imperative for the
next AD to make sol-
id long-term coaching
hires. We don't have the
time or money to waste
on too many Jim Wool-
dridges.
Hopefully. Weiser's
departure is not a sign
of bad days ahead for K-
State athletics. Howev-
er, it seems like Weiser is
handing off a strong, sta-
ble program.

Coulter uses shock, biased language to remain in spotlight Collegian
What I have to say
about Ann Coulter could
probably take up many mure
opinion col-
umns
An ex-
treme eon
servative,
Ms Coulter
has been de-
grading ev-
ery person
in sight and
getting fired MLSEY
from van CHILDRESS
ous positions
since 1997
According to Time maga
zine, she has been fired from
MSNBC twice USA Today
fired her as a correspondent
for the 2004 Democratic Na-
tional Convention after she
began her scathing review of
the event as "the Spawn of
Satan convention in Boston"
Additionally, her bi-
weekly syndicated news col-
umn was dropped from sev-
eral newspapers in 2005 and
2006. following her fourth
book, "Godless The Church
of Liberalism "
Coulter also has been
accused several times of tak
ing quotes or articles out of
context or even quoting mis-
information in her bunks
The online media outlet So
Ion com published an article
about Coulter's book "Slan-
der Liberal Lies About the
American Right on luly 13.
2002
Article author Bry-
an Reefer said, "Slander'
is riddled with factual er-
rors, egregious misrepre-
sentations and a constant
stream of broad, inflamma-
tory claims about liberals, as
numerous critics have been
quick to point out Yet, de-
spite the limits of her one-
sided argument, she actual-
ly offers a troubling lament
!>>r the state of our political
discourse - even as she con-
tributes to its decline." Keef-
er then goes on to cite many
examples where Coulter has
made false claims about the
New York Times and other
news media outlets
Coulter is only adept at
stirring up controversy From
her six books to her vari-
ous media appearances, she
contributes nothing to the
greater good of political dis-
course and instead summons
amusement and disbelief at
her extreme conservative
views Coulter's criticisms of
Democrats and liberals are
nothing short of stereotypi-
While covering the 2004
Democratic Convention.
CBS News cited in her re
jecled column for USA To-
day as saying "My pret
ty-girl allies stick out like a
sore thumb against the corn-
fed, no makeup, natural fi-
ber, no-bra needing, sandal-
wearing, hirsute, somewhat
fragrant hippie chick pie
wagons they call women
at the Democratic National
Convention"
According to a CNN
article on March 4, 2007,
Coulter also has been re-
buked for calling John Ed-
wards (and Al Gore) an an-
ti-gay slur She also hinted
at the idea that former Pres
ident Bill Clinton "show[s]
some level of latent homo
sexuality* on the night show
"The Big Idea" in 2006
Whether a person is ho
mosexual, moderate, female,
a former president or a vet
eran, it seems no one is safe
from Coulter's wrath Her
inability to fairly see both
sides of an issue - and the
fact that she is unable to rec-
ognize the absurdity of some
of her own statements -
make what little credentials
she has invalid
Coulter contributes lit-
tle to the U.S. political spec-
trum Unfortunately, her en
tertainment value has helped
her continue her politi-
cal commentary But peo-
ple must remember she is a
blackhead on the face of the
Republican Party, and Ms.
Coulter never fails to show
the political consequences
of giving such an extreme
ly closed-minded and biased
person the opportunity to
speak publicly.

Pirate wants moat around Nichols
By Ellse Podhajsky
KANSAS STATE COLLEGIAN
Tyrone "Red Beard"
Schurr senior in electrical
engineering, answered ques-
tions about
his and his
first mate
Scott Carl-
son, junior
in electrical
engineering,
for student
body pres-
ident and
Vice presi-
dent
SCHURR
Why did you and Scott
Carlson decide to run for
student body president and
wee president?
| The ninjas'] underground
movement is definitely un-
derway and gaining force dai-
ly They've taken a more pub-
tic stance. Ninjas are very se-
cluded and dark and sec re
live, but now they've actually
stepped up to run Our pirate
intelligence - our insiders -
lei us know this was actual-
ly going to happen, that [the
ninjas were trying to] run un-
opposed - just against poli-
ticians, because politicians
wouldn't stand a chance We
knew we had lo put togeth-
er our own ticket. Outside
of a crew of pirates, 1 don't
know who could take out a
ninja problem like this. The
Other reason, of course, is
thai we do have some things
that I think we can bring -
attitudes, mentalities - that
would be beneficial to K-
State and students at large
Occasionally, I'll have a stu-
dent ask, "Well, why would
a pirate run?" and 1 respond
with, "Can a pirate do any
worse than what we have
had before?"
What ifiue on your platform
are you most excited or
concerned about?
Today, 1 was conversing with
a fellow, and he thought that
it would be appropriate to put
a moat around Nichols Hall
I thought about that a mo-
ment and 1 realized that's not
that bad an idea And that's
not something 1 thought of
on my own It's the people
in the student body that are
going to come up with the
ideas. 1 try to avoid being so
attached to an agenda or pol-
icies or ideas, so that I can
listen to other people.
Do you think being a pirate
gives you any advantages
over the other candidates?
I think there are a lot of peo-
ple who say SGA elections
are boring and stupid But
talking about the pirate issue
and tailgating issue, [they] see
purpose in the election now
It's people like that; they in-
spire me. It's like a rock
star who thanks their fans I
know I can count on [those]
votes and [they] know they
can count on me to take care
of their concerns. Sure, some
people might just say we're
being silly, and in a way. we
are. We're bringing fun into
politics: we make people
smile. The so-called serious
candidates couldn't keep a
straight face jat the debates]
I know the debate was more
enjoyable for them because
we were there
Pirates often get a bad rap
and are commonly thought
of as pillaging and looting
thieves. Do you think
you and Scott fit Into this
category?
In a sense, we recognize
privilege fees as pillaging
and plundering of students'
checkbooks. A very minor
plank that I had thought of
that may be suitable is to
sail up the Kansas River to
a small town outside Tope
ka and go pillage and plun-
der, especially in the form of
sports trophies.
Anything pertaining lo
the Sunflower Showdown -
anything we can pillage and
plunder and return |with|
victoriously is something I
can only encourage and I will
be directly participating in.
It would boost morale, mo-
tivation and pride, all those
things that make us proud to
be K- Staters

Jonathan "Ninjitsu"
Culver, freshman in chem
ical engineering, answered
questions
about his
campaign
with Nich-
olas Bird-
song, junior
in politi-
cal science,
for student
body pres-
ident and
vice presi-
dent
CULVER
How did you and Nicholas
Birdsong decide (o become
running males?
Me and Nick met through a
friend in the engineering de-
partment. We just came up
with the idea of a comedy
ticket, and so we just need
ed an extra guy, so we asked
some guys, and Nick was
one of the guys
What do you think is Ihe
biggest issue for K-State
students right now?
The infestation of pirates,
and the overflowing of pi-
rales on K-State and how
pirates are so drunk all the
time, just destroying and
wrecking "K-State.
If elected, what are the main
changes you would like to
help Implement on campus?
Well, 1 would definitely de-
stroy all forms of piracy Pi-
rating music online [is] com-
pletely illegal, and ninjas
would be safeguarding all In-
ternet pirating, so we would
be destroying that too.
Ninjas also would be
safeguarding K- State to
where there will be no crime
whatsoever, because ninjas
are here to protect, and we
would make all pirates be
slaves and clean the K-State
property.
Do you think you have a
lot of the support from the
student body righl now?
I do have quite a lot of sup-
port from what the pirates
have been telling me. When
we talk [to students], they
say, "No, we're not voting
Pirate, we're voting Ninja,"
and so I have a lot of sup-
port from them and from my
friends.
All over the world, nin
jas are definitely more popu-
lar than pirates. I also have
"Weird AI" Yankovic on my
[Web] sile. He agrees thai
ninjas would destroy pirates
any day That's pretty cool
because Weird Al is a celeb-
rity.
How extensive Is your nin-
ja training?
Well, there's things I could
tell you. but I'd have lo kill
you I'm well trained in all
forms of martial arts I've
been trained in Rangers
and Blackwater, Green Be-
rets, also Alpha lo Zulu Bra-
vo Teams. I've done many
undercover works, and, of
course, if 1 go into more de-
tail, I'd have lo kill you and
kill myself too, so 1 can't tell
you anymore
In the movies, ninjas often
are shown sneaking around
in the dark, killing people.
If elected, would Ihe mor-
tality rate of students on
campus increase? Basically,
would you kill students?
No. People always say nin-
jas are here or were made
to kill people, and we are
not made to kill people
We are made to kill certain
people We are told who to
kill We just don't random
ly go around and kill people
[We're] told who to kill, told
who (o spy on, told who to
annihilate
So in my form, I am the
leader of the Ninjas, so, in
a way. 1 tell them who to
kill, who lo annihilate, who
lo spy on And so K-State,
in effect would be more of
a safeguarded home where
students could feel safer.
I already have ninjas sur-
rounded all throughout K
Slate How do you think K
Stale has been so safe? It's a
great place lo stay.
By electing ninjas, I can
get more, and more, and
more and more ninjas to
help us out and keep this
area safe
Student Senate passes bill to increase Union minimum wage proportionally
By Brandon Steinert
KANSAS STATE COLLEGIAN
Student Senate approved
an increase in the K-State Stu-
dent Union operations budget
privilege fee Thursday night at
its weekly meeting.
The bill was sent back to
the privilege fee committee
at the Feb 14 meeting lo ne-
gotiate an increase in pay for
Union employees.
The bill, which was not
amended after reconsidera-
tion, will increase the mini-
mum wage for Union employ-
ees to $7 per hour. Employees
already making the new mini-
mum wage or more will receive
a 77 percent increase in pay.
which is proportional to the
raise- that minimum-wage em-
ployees will receive.
Faculty Senate Represen-
tative Tim Weninger, graduate
student in computer science,
argued the increase does not
reflect the pattern in other ar-
eas of campus
The Union will be the first
area of campus to increase
workers' pay proportionally,
Weninger said
Weninger offered an
amendment to the Senate,
which would compromise be-
tween the two sides He pro-
posed the 7.7 percent increase
in pay for those at or above
minimum cMfp should he tic
creased to 4 percent.
Student Body President
Matt Wagner was one of the
first to speak in in opposition
of the amendment
For us to take away some
of that money that they would
otherwise see is absurd, Wag-
ner, senior in management in-
formations systems, said. He
said Dean of Student Life Pat
Bosco's offices can pay what
they want lo pay, but the Union
has a pay scale and they believe
in the merit of it
Wagner said the other ar-
eas of campus, except La fen e
Health Center, did not request
compensation lo maintain a
pay scale, and that is the rea-
son the Union's request didn't
reflect the pattern on campus.
Senator Sarah Morton, se-
nior in accounting, agreed with
Wagner She said approving
the amendment would imply
that Student Senate considers
Union employees to be over-
valued by their employers.
The amendment failed
2-51-1 and the original bill
then moved into debate
Katherine Beye, senior
in political science, said the
Union is a more valuable ser-
vice to fund than some ol the
allocations approved in the
past.
Weninger argued the ap-
proval of the bill would be a
slippery slope, suggesting it
would encourage other parts of
campus to apply for the extra
funding, which would require
more privilege fee increases
After more than an hour
of debate, the bill was voted on
and passed 45-9-0
Senators also voted on an
increase in College Council
funding from reserves because
the amount of allocations re-
quested from student organi-
zations would deplete the cur-
rent funding by the end of the
semester It passed unanimous-
ly. Trie last day for student or-
ganizations to apply for fund-
ing is March 7
Krisia Leben, senior in po-
litical science, was sworn in as
a new senator and will serve as
senator for the college of arts
and sciences for the remainder

operations until a replace-
ment is hired
In the seven years
Weiser has been at K-State,
he has made several un
provements to the athletic
facilities, a fact Wefald said
is one of the cornerstones
of Weiser s lime in Vlanhat
Ian. There was a $7
million improve-
ment project to the
football stadium, a
new track complex,
Toinlon Family Sta-
dium for baseball as
well as a new boat
hoDM for the wom-
en's rowing team.
Weiser also put
into place the $50
million Bramlage Coliseum
expansion lhat will Include
new practice courts, offices

fied entrance for football
and basketball lo the K-
Siaic Sports Hall of Fume

the leader in bringing all of
that together."
Weiser's serve direct-
ly below Big 12 Commis-
sioner Dan Beebe Bee-
be first approached Weis-
er to be his deputy in Au-
gust, when he accepted the
job in place of former com-
missioner Kevin Weiberg
However, Weiser declined
the opportunity because of
(be timing
■'At the time, I didn't
feel like the lime was great
for us here," Weiser said.
"I encouraged him to do a
search and see if he couldn't

find a better solution. He
did do a search and at the
end of the day. he was still
interested in talking about
this opportunity.
"Given the news that
was released this week
about the NCAA investiga-
tion and given (he fact that
our basketball situation has
somewhat solidified itself,
the liming was much better
to do that"
One of Weiser's most
important moves involved
offering a five-year exten-
sion to women's basket-
ball coach Deb Patterson's
contract in 2006. Patterson
said because of Weiser, K-
Stale's athletic programs
have been more on the na-

Men to take on guard-heavy Baylor squad
WOMEN'S BASKETBALL
By Joel Jelllion
KANSAS S JA It lOLLfcoLAN
After losing its third-
straight Big 12 Conference
road game, K-Slate will have
little time to dwell as the Wild
cats head to Baylor Saturday.
The Wildcats (1B-7, 8-3
Big 12J lost 71-64 Wednesday
at Nebraska, in what freshman
forward Bill Walker said was
a continuing lack of focus on
the road
"We haven't played a full
game yel, we haven't gone oui
there and tried to play our way
for 40 minutes," Walker said
'I don't think it's anything tal
ent-wise or physically - we
|ust have to compete for 40
minutes"
To get back on focus, the
Wildcats will have to stop a
guard- heavy learn in the Bears
( 17-8. 5-6} who lost their last
game 92-91 to Oklahoma in
overtime.
K-Slate coach Frank Mar-
tin said the Wildcats will have
to defend the perimeter to stop
Baylor.
"They've got five guards
that can shoot, pass and drib
ble and can do it all at a high
level," Martin said. "We have
to make sure that we guard the
three-point line against them "
Baylor has made 218-of-
573 three-point attempts Ihis
season. Walker said the main
concern is with the Bears' abil-
ity to move the defense.
"They can spread the de-
fense out. but we just want
to go down there and play
our style of game because we
need to get a win on the n i
Walker said
Despite the fact that the

the team has played its worst

Martin said the team was go-

keep the players !rom sitting
in hotel rooms while awaiting
ihe game.
The Bears are led by ju-
nior guard Curtis (errells who
is scoring 15.4 points per
game and junior forward Kcs

12.2 points and 8 4 points per

The contest will mark K-

When the K State worn
en's basketball game tips off
at 7 p.m. Saturday in Boulder,
Colo., senior guard Kimberly
Dietz will be in her hometown
for the final time in her colle-
giate career
Dietz attended Monarch
High School in Boulder before
committing to K State
Coach Deb Patterson said
there is nothing better than
having an opportunity lo go to
Colorado and get a win in Di
etz's hometown.
"It would be a dream to
go to Boulder and put Kim-
berly in a situation to be suc-
cessful," Patterson said "She's
been phenomenal for our pro-
gram and has emerged as a
player of ihe year candidate in
Ihis league"
K Stale (18 7, 10 2 Big
12 Conference) is coming off
a tough home loss Wedncs
day to the No. 10 Oklahoma
Sooners, 68-65, but the team
doesn't look at its game against
Colorado as a "bounce back"
game. The Wildcats said they
look at it as a chance to move
forward.
lunior guard Shalee Leh-
ning said she believes if K
State plays their own style of
play, they will be able to fly out
of Colorado with another Big
12 win, a victory that would be
especially sweet for Dietz
"We just have to stay pos-
itive, treat everyone with re
spect and play hard," Lehning
said. Dietz is awesome It's
her last time to play against
Colorado, and we want it to
be special We just have to stay
focused."
K-State will have to fo-
cus more on post play against
Colorado, as the Buffaloes will
look to take advantage of their
size with Jackie McParland,
who had 20 points and 1 1 re
bounds in the earlier game
this season against the Wild-
cats. Lehning said the Wild-
cats just have to do iheir besl
in trying to stop the Colorado
post players.
"Jackie McFarland is a
great player, and we just have
to do anything we can to stop
her," Lehning said
Colorado (14-11, 3-9 Big
12) is struggling, coming into
the game having lost nine of
its last 1 1 contests With a win
against the Buffaloes, the Wild-
cats would extend their road-
winning streak to eight games
But Patterson said the fact
Colorado has a poor record in
conference play doesn't mean
theycanl play well
"Believe me, we don't
think about team records be-
cause records mean nothing
in this league," Patterson said

Track team to host home meet to prepare for Big 12 Championships
By Joel Aich bren n« f
KANSAS STATE COLLEGIAN
Competing in its fi-
nal event before the Big 12
Conference Indoor Champi-
onships, the track and field
team will welcome sever-
al smaller teams to the KSU
Open Saturday
The meet, which will
be in Ahearn Field House,
starts with field events at
10 a.m., and track events
are scheduled to begin
at 1:30 p.m. The Wildcats
have 18 men and 19 women
scheduled to compete in the
meet.
Coach Cliff Rovelto said
the team has held the open
for 19 years and uses it as
a way to tune up at home
before the Big 12 Confer
ence meet
"The advantage to our
team is they get to sleep in
(heir own beds and don't
have lo worry about sleeping
on buses," Rovelto said, "It's
probably better for our kids,
and tougher for our coaches,
but we certainly didn't want
to travel the week before the
conference meet"
Because of Ahearn 's
smaller fiat track, the meet
will draw mostly smaller
schools and will not provide
a lot of strong competition
for the team
"I don't think we really
have that much competition,
so in that aspect, it won't be
the same as conference,"
said senior Loci Heller. "But
it will be good to have a nice
home meet before the con-
ference meet and not have
lo travel."
Field athletes, includ-
ing Heller and sophomore
Loren Groves, who both
have qualified for the NCAA
championships in the weight
throw, will be mostly fea-
tured at the meet.
"II will give us a good
chance lo get another mark
and hopefully will give us
a little confidence," Heller
said "I'm excited We should
throw huge this weekend."
The meet will be most
important for the field
athletes, who, Rovelto said,
need to stay in rhythm
before the Big 12 Confer-
ence meet.
"Practicing here and
getting to compete here is
an advantage to us," Heller
said "You just have an ad-
vantage because you know
how your ring feels because
you practice on it everyday."
The majority of the run-
ners will not compete this
weekend, particularly ath-
letes that are competing in
events that are 400 meters
and longer
After hosting the meet,
the Wildcats will compete
in the conference champi-
onships Feb. 29- March I, in

KANSAS STATE COLlEtilAN
Following a loss against
No. 42 Tulsa on Sunday, the
No 68 K-Statc women's ten
nis team will face a challeng-
ing set of matches in order
to get back on the winning
track.
The Wildcats, ranked by
the Intercollegiate Tennis As-
sociation for the first time
since Feb 27, 2007. will face
No. 66 Utah today in Salt
Lake City Saturday, the team
will travel to Provo, Utah,
to take on No 56 Brigham
Young.
Coach Steve Bietau said
he expects tough matches this
weekend
"It's always difficult when
we go out there," he said
"Utah has a new coach this
year that's been pretty suc-
cessful in the past, that's our
first match, and BYU's been
a national power for quite a
while."
The Wildcats, who had
a four-match winning streak
snapped by Tulsa in a 1-6
loss, focused on singles play
this week K- State's only win
on Sunday came from fresh-
man An tea Huljev in singles
play. Huljev notched a 6-1,
6-3 win over Tulsa's Rebec-
ca Row Huljev said traveling
might have made it more dif-
ficult for the team.
"We were battling all of
us. of course," she said "Sun-
day, maybe we were more
tired than Saturday with trav-
eling and everything. So 1
think we did a pretty good job
anyway."
Though the team was
1 1 rod, Bietau said his team has
been busy this week prepar-
ing for the upcoming match-

ly a week, it's two practices,"

clinch the win until No 6 sin-

Clara and California
The Wildcats will lake
on California for Iwo games
at 1 p.m today and then head
to Santa Clara for another
doublehcader al 3 pm Sat
urday to wrap up the week-
end
This will be the lOHth

2007 campaign highlights
included the 34-24 record,
which was just one short of
the mosl wins in school his-
tory, and an appearance in
the Big 12 Baseball Tourna-
ment for the first time since
2002 and only the 10th time
in school history. The 10-

cord was also the most con-
ference wins by the Wildcats
since 2002
People outside ihe Man-
hattan fan base are begin-
ning to take notice of Ihe
Wildcats, as the team was
picked to finish seventh in
the preseason Big 12 poll,
their highest ranking ever
Reluming from 2007 are
seven position starters and
11 pitchers.
The No, 1 and No. 2
spots in the starting pitch
ing rotation appear to be
locked up with seniors Brad
Hutt and Chase Bayuk, re-
spectively. The rest of the ro-
tation is still in the air, but
juniors Ben Hornbeek and
Justin Murray also will be
in Ihe mix. Also pitching for
the Wildcats will be pre -sea-
son All American senior re-
liever Daniel Edwards
"It has potential with
the guys reluming that we
do." said coach Brad Hill
The talent level has in-
creased here, but it's slill po-
tential Brad Hutt and Chase
Bayuk have a track record
here, bul we need to use our
lalcnt to become more con-
sistent. This pitching staff
definitely has the potential
to be the backbone, but they
need to go out there and es-
tablish themselves"
As far as position play-
ers go, one of the Wild
cats' best hitlers, junior By-
ron Wiley, will return for K
State Wiley hit 366 last Ma

better protected in the line-
up this season.

The K State PROUD cam
paign is halfway to its fund raising
goal as of Wednesday night, said
Cole Galyon. campaign co-chair
Wilh $31,455 raised from stu-
dent donations. Galyon, junior
in marketing, said (he student re-
sponfe for the campaign this year
has been "amazing," but he said he
hopes students continue to con-
tribute
"We really want students to
[donate] as soon as possible." he
said "I'm sure we still have plen-
ty of T-shirts, but they're going fast
We're really excited to see it all lie
together on Big Monday in Bram-
lage when everyone is wearing
their shirts."
Galyon said it's almost impos-
sible to know how many T-shirts
have been sold so far. but "it's gol
to be way up there"
Molly Hamm, Student Foun
dalion vice president of student re
lations, said the objective of the
campaign is lo raise awareness
aboul the importance of philan-
thropy lo K-State students, and
to continue to establish funds for
K State PROUD awards
"We want students lo be aware
of what it means to give back lo
the university, and how they can
do so even when you're on a col-
lege student's budget," Hamm. ju-
nior in English, said
There are two awards fund-
ed through the campaign. The
PROUD award is given to slu
dents who arc anonymously nom-
inated by students or faculty mem-
bers and who have exhausted all
possible financial options. The
Hero award also is chosen through
anonymous nomination and is giv-
en to students who have contribut-
ed greatly to K-State, Hamm said
Overall, she said she is thrilled
with students' increased awareness
aboul the campaign and the sup
port they have shown this year.
"More than ever, people are
educated on the fact that it is
aboul donating lo the campaign.''
she said, "and they understand
the purpose behind the campaign
rat Iter than just seeing Hie T-shirt
1 think people are more willing to
give to the campaign because they
know bow much of a difference it
made to students last year"
Hamm said after the ESPN
Big Monday basketball game on
Monday, she hopes the campaign
will continue to raise awareness
tboui philanthropy and the uni
versily and encourage students tu
give back to the school any way
i hey can.
"Whether they can give or
iim she said, "we hope to keep
treating something that is exciting
and keeps students wanting to be
involved and wanting to donate "

Exdell said.
While some K State stu-

be done within the boundar-

"The money is taken out

The DREAM Act is a vi

said. In order to maintain

Shane said most Amcri

added.

FLU VACCINE TIPS:
A flu vaccine is the best
way to protect against the
flu.
■ Getting a vaccine is very
important for people at
high risk for serious flu
complications and their
close contacts.
This year, an all-time
high supply of vaccine
is available, so more
people than ever can seek
protection from the flu.
- Because flu season can
last as late as May, getting a
flu vaccine now still can be
beneficial

position with Big 12 Conference
Continued from Page 6
Beebe became urgent in his
quest lo bring Weiser into the
Kig 12 offices
'From Dan's stand-
point, he's been operating
roughly six months without
a right-hand guy," he said *'l un
derstood the urgency he was
feeling and the need to have
somebody who could be there
for the day-lo-day operational
standpoint, especially with the
conference tournament com-
ing up"
Weiser is only the second
athletic director lo be promot-

the history of the Big 12. The

missioner for communication!
of the Big 12, said Weiser will
bring an "institutional perspec-
tive" to the conference officei in
Dallas.
"Obviously, it's very excit-
ing lo bring somebody ol Tim's
Mature to the conference office
staff," he said. "Willi 20 years of
experience as an athletic direc-
tor and close to 30 years experi-
ence on a campus, we view that
as a tremendous asset"
It will be hard. Weiser said,
to make the transition He will
have lo lake an unbiased per-
spective in the offices, making
decisions based on what's pood
for the conference Althutigh
Weiser will begin familiarizing
himself with the office as si ton
as next week, he said he still
sees room for improvements at

4 local restaurants lend support, money to cancer-research fundraiser
By Amanda Kelm
KANSAS SJArHO!ltt.lAN
" "Booyah" is ihe term dm
tea to rep re sen I the recent
<. (immunity effort to combat
cwtoei.
Kicking off its campaign
in Feb 15, the Booyah Bene
■ r Cancer Research is tak-
ing its own path to fundrais-
mg
Four local businesses -
Vista Drive In. Planet Sub,
ti'iniiio's Pizza and Buskin
Kobbins - have teamed up lo
help fi^hl cancer
"Booyah is a term thai
represents feelings uf euphor-
ic celebration upon fight
i tig through extreme adversi-
ty and overcoming daunting
ueles, and we're using it
in this context to emphasize
• iur belief that we will con-
quer cancer in our time," said
lames Sperman. benefit orga-
nizer
Unlike the average fund-
raiser, Booyah does not re-
quire potential donators to
exert any extra effort or spend
any extra money.
Individuals are asked to
visit the aforementioned busi-
nesses rather than purchasing
food elsewhere between now
and March 16.
Each business calculat-
ed its average monthly prof-
it, and any profits above that
monthly average will be do-
nated to cancer research
"I'm hoping we can r&iffl
$50,000 and that would re
quire roughly doubling the
sales of these businesses,"
Spemwa said. "That may
seem like a lot at first, but you
have to consider ihat it would
require only roughly 10 per
cent of individuals to switch
their purchasing to these
companies"
All of the money raised
through the month will be
donated to the Terry C |ohn-
son Center for Basic Cancer
Research
Sperman said the money
will be donated in the name
of Vanessa Stewart, the moth
er of K-State men's basketball
player Clent Stewart, who re-
cently died because of bone
cancer.
"We use our funding to
support our mission in three
ways." said Dr. Rob Deuel!,
director of the Johnson Cen-
ter for Basic Cancer Research
"We support basic cancer re-
search, we support educa-
tion of training undergradu-
ates and we support region-
al outreach. In all of those ar-
eas, we arc very much limited
bv our available resources "
It is because of these lim-
ited resources that Sperman
made the decision to donate
his extra time to this fund-
raiser and increasing cancer
research efforts, and Dcnell
said the cancer center appro
c uites the efforts.
"I'd like to thank James
and his colleagues for their
commitment and hard work
on our behalf," he said
Of about 20 business
es Sperman approached, four
agreed tu participate in what
Chad Wilson, manager of
Planet Sub, called "an inter-
esting marketing strategy"
"I was just really curious
lo see how well it would work
and it's nice to see money be
donated to charity," Wilson
said
Wilson said Planet Sub
does not plan lo offer any
special promotions during
this time but instead will rely
on the efforts of Sperman and
his colleagues to increase
sales.
"We had a really good
weekend and Monday was
really good," Wilson said
"Sales have been really good
so far but we'll have lo wait
and see"
Sperman said he plans lo
continue Booyah again next
year and hopefully generate
more participation from local
businesses.
■It's extremely important
[to participate]. First of all,
it will raise money right off
the bat for cancer research,
and secondly, it will tell oth
er businesses to participate in
these kinds of events in the
future," he said. "This is about
people helping out right now
and taking a stand"
Booyah offers interested
parties many ways to become
involved
Individuals might put a
sign in their yard that reads
'We Support the Booyah Ben
efit for Cancer Research,' pur
chase a hamburger from the
local Vista Drive In and urge
friends, family and co-work-
ers to do the same.
As the fight against can-
cer continues to affect mil-
lions, Sperman urges individ-
uals to become involved in
any way possible.
He emphasized that par
ticipaling in the Booyah Ben
cfii is as simple as ordering a
pizza from Domino's.
"Please support the event
because it won't cost you any
more time or money than
you would spend going else
where," Sperman said. "The
only effort it requires is the ef
fort to shop conscientiously"

loose curls, and she is wear-

For her eighth birth-

she practices. She learns the

One year later, the grand-

own piano at an auction. The
piano is gorgeous in the girl's
eyes - a tan Baldwin, with a

MOVIE REVIEW
Fool's Gold
reasonable
"Fool's Gold"
Review by Brtndin Pr*cg*r
After the surprisingly en
tcrtaining "How to Lose a Guy
in 10 Days," it was only a mat-
ter of time before Kate Hudson
and Matthew McConaughey
teamed up for anoUier roman-
tic comedy
"Fool's Gold," their latest
movie, makes the most of their
charisma in an average but en-
tertaining comedy.
When a clue to the where
abouls of a lost treasure rekin-
dles the married couple's sense
of adventure and their estranged
romance, they team up with
a millionaire and his spoiled
daughter to solve the mystery
The plot structure resem-
bles a video game more than
a movie They find a clue that
leads them to another clue, Re
peat several times Fight a boss
battle Show off the treasure.
Roll credits.
The love story, usually the
main draw in a romantic come-
dy, takes a back seat to the lack-
luster adventure story.
I would consider that a
spoiler, but the plot is so predict-
able that anyone who can't tell
what happens from the movie's
trailer probably lacks the litera-
cy to know the difference.
Luckily, the movie is enter-
taining, even without a brilliant
narrative.
McConaughey and Hud
son worked harder on their abs
than their acting, but the phys-
ical comedy and warm scen-
ery should be enough to please
most viewers.
* The movie's largest down-
fall comes from the secondary
characters The interesting ones
are underdeveloped, and the
others are too annoying to war-
rant their screen time.
As a romantic comedy or
an adventure movie, "Fool's
Gold" isn't necessarily that
food, but sometimes that's good
enough

Residents 'Plunge' to raise money
By Yvonne flam i r*z
KANSAS STATE COLLEGIAN
Braving the cold waters of Tuttle
Creek Lake, members of the Man-
hattan community and K State's
Phi Beta Sigma fraternity came to-
gether Saturday to take the "Polar
Bear Plunge"
The Plunge, a nationwide event
in which people dive into a cold -
sometimes even frozen - local body
of water, helps fund the Special
Olympics through donations made
to the teams who take the plunge
The Special Olympics is a year-
round training program, as well as
educational and athletic competi
lions, for individuals with intellec-
tual disabilities, according to the
Special Olympics Web site
The Phi Beta Sigma fraternity was
the only K State fraternity to par-
ticipate in Manhattan's Plunge, and
most participants were from the
community with organizations like
Wal-Mart "This was our second
year doing the Polar Bear Plunge,"
said Montae Robinson, senior in
horticulture and landscaping
The fraternity dressed up as
"geeks," wearing slim fitting jeans,
suspend en and glasses They let
out a loud yelp as soon as they hit
the 41 degree water, helping to win
them "the most enthusiastic jump
award."
The members of the fraternity
were able to raise several hundred
dollars for the event
"We set up a booth in the | K
State Student) Union as well as a
Web site that people could go to for
donations." said Demarkus Cole-
man, Phi Beta Sigma historian and
sophomore in business administra-
tion.
Community members and busi-
nesses also participated in the
Plunge to help raise money for the
Special Olympics Wal-Mart em-
ployees helped out by hanging signs
inside the store to promote and
raise money for the event said De-
rick Reinerio, a Wal Mart employ-
ee.
According to the Plunge's Web
site, wwuhksso.OTg/paUirplunge,
this was the third -annual Polar
Bear Plunge at Tuttle Creek
Jonathan Knight I COLLEGIAN
Last year's plunge raised more than $23,000, part of mote than $109,000 raised state-
wide. This year's event exceeded that total, raising about $30,000 organizers said.

Bob Johnson and LD M*i«r . cowboys from Garden View, MO., try to score the fastest time in the team roping heat Saturday night during the KSU Collegiate Rodeo.
52nd-annual KSU Rodeo
thrills contestants, viewers
By Jenna Scavuuo
KANSAS STATE COLLEGIAN
Wrangler jeans, straw cowboy hats
and distressed brown and black boots
were the dress code this weekend at the
52nd-annual KSU Collegiate Rodeo
More than 20 universities and colleg-
es from Kansas, Missouri and Oklahoma
competed in the festivities, some bringing
home the gold and some leaving with the
enjoyment of the atmosphere that only
comes once a year.
A genera] consensus of favorite
events was bull-riding.
The men's rodeo events includ-
ed bareback riding, lie-down calf rop-
ing, saddle bronco riding, steer wrestling
and bull riding. Women's events included
breakaway roping, goat tying and barrel
racing. Team roping was a coed sport.
Weber Arena was packed on Satur-
day, allowing standing room only Doug
Muller, K-State Rodeo coach, said overall
he was pleased with the turnout of about
10,000 people over the weekend.
"I think it went really smooth; the
students and the team worked really hard
to put the rodeo on - besides competing
in it," Muller said.
The KSU Rodeo is one of the largest
rodeos in this region, Muller said Though
most audience members were rodeo go-
ers, some were there to experience some-
thing new arvd weekend recreation
"I really enjoyed the rodeo," said
Ricky Scott, Junction City resident. "This
is all new to me, and a lot of the events
look really dangerous 1 came up here
just as something to do. and I'm really
glad I did I'm very impressed "

By Sarah Burford
KANSAS STATE (OLIMilAN
A Manahttan man was ar-
rested on Thursday fa* possess
ing marijuana with the intent to

es, according to a police rcpon

lia; and three counts of endan-
germent of a 7 year -old child
No injuries to the child

ijuana: two counts ol unlawful
acquisition of drug proceeds;

Concerns arise about speed, reliability of K-State Internet technology
By Mofty Campbell
KANSAS STATE l (ILIB.1AN
A recent Associated Press
article by Peter Svensson raised
the issue that the increasing
popularity of video downloads
and other high-bandwidth ac
livities may overwhelm and
stow the Internet
Is K-State prepared to han
die the surging popularity of
internet videos and larger file
downloads?
Internet service providers
usually oversell their available
bandwidth, which means a few
heavy users can make the Inter-
net seem slow for the provid
e^s other customers, said Dan-
iel Andresen. associate profes-
sor of computer and infomia
tion sciences
K-State has not really had
any issues related to Internet
capacity, but the university's
bandwidth was increased last
summer, said lames Lyall, as-
sociate vice provost of informa-
tion technology services.
However, there is disagree-
ment over whether K Stale
needs to do more to address po
tential problems
K-State has not done
enough to keep up with band-
width demands and has not
taken simple steps, like upgrad-
ing and expanding server stor
age space, said Tttn Weningcr,
graduate student in computer
science.
Though some K-State staff
members have been receptive
to concerns about Internet lech
nology, the university has a lot
of catching up to do, Weninger
said
"Music, torrents and espe-
cially streaming sites, like [You
Tube com | , arc eating up band-
width that is putting a load not
only on K State's campus, but
on the global infrastructure as
well," Weninger said
World wide, illegal down
loading has been one of the
most significant factors in caus
ing Internet slowdowns, Svens-
son said in his article
Weningcr said he approved
of K Slate's prevention of file-
sharing, because it saves stu-
dents and the university from
potential lawsuits and reduced
the potential amount of traffic
for K State's network
Even without illegal down-
loading on campus, some stu-
dents might not be satisfied
with the current conditions of
the university s Internet tech
nology.
Some graduate students
in computer ICItftOO have lefl
K Stale because of the dire or
cumstances related to Internet
issues, Weninger said.
As issues continue to devel-
op, administrators might have
to make changes to the univer
sity*s Internet technology,

Local poets share humorous, melancholy works at Poyntz Gallery
By Sarah Burford
KANSAS STATE COLLEGIAN
Jo Vanderhyde carefully
unrulled the toilet paper to re-
veal hi* poem stuck inside on
bright green paper. This piece
of work was called "Snot."
Vanderhyde. graduate stu
dent in English, was one of
about 10 poets who read their
works at "Poetry on Poyntz"
Haday night at the Strccker
Nelson Gallery, 406 1/2 Poyn
ti Ave. The event occurs once
each semester and gives people
an opportunity to share their
writing and listen to others' po-
ems
Jay Nelson, owner of the
art gallery, said he created this
event because he enjoyed hear-
ing poetry He said he gradual
ed from K-State with a master's
degree in English, but he said
he is better at writing critically
. wilier than creatively.
"Poetry is something I'm
interested in," Nelson said
"Anybody can read; anybody
can come We've had so much
fun with it that we've done it for
five years now"
• • He said many K-State stu-
dents come to the readings,
showing an appreciation for
poetry that has not always been
present at the university
Manhattan residents filled
the seats as well. After the 40
chairs had been filled, there
were still between 10 15 people
left standing in the bright and
clean exhibit room where the
readings took place
"That people in Manhat-
tan would come out on a cold
night to listen to poetry, I think
is very remarkable" Nelson told
the audience.
Lisa Eldridge, an under
graduate in English, said she
gave up shyness years ago She
was the first to leave her seat in
the audience to read her poem
called "Blank Page" It was
about the frustrations of writ
er's block
"I like hearing Ore different
types of work," Eldridge said of
the poetry night. "They are all
very different types of styles"
Rachel Moore, graduate
student in English, read three
poems full of nothing but prep-
ositions The first consisted of
the word "Without," repeated
about 20 limes; the other two
were titled "With" and "Out."
Each of these words was re-
peated in four different lan-
guages with a range of inflec-
tions, whispers, and gravelly
tones.
"It's supposed to help
you think about the meaning
of prepositions ... 'cause that's
fun" Moore said.
The poems came in all
shapes and sizes and provoked
a wide range o( emotions from
the responsive audience. Up-
roarious laughter to thoughtful
silence and sympathizing mur-
murs swept audience members
as the poets read their works
one after another
Shaunte Montgom-
ery, graduate student in Eng-
lish, read several serious po-
ems about the portrayal of Af
rican- American women. Mont-
gomery's first poem was called
"Ode to Celie," a character from
"The Color Purple
"Some people think that if
one person acts (his way, then
ail African Americans must act
this way," Montgomery said.
"What does our reputation say
to people of the dominant eul
ture? African Americans have

Matt Gronaman staff assistant in the Educational and Personal Development Programs, recites his poem
"Compost" at a poetry reading Friday night at the St recker- Nelson Gallery on Poyntz Avenue

portray ourselves,"
Alcoholic beverages and
snacks - including a cake that
Vanderhyde decorated with dience Nelson invited the au
plastic animals and one of his dience to look antund the gal-
poems written in icing - were lery and socialize before and af-
served free of charge to the au- ter the readings

Looking down
Lack of role models evident in

Christina Forttwrg I COLLEGIAN
Most Americans wouldn't
see a cold-blooded killer as a fit-
ling role model for their chil-
dren, but that is
exactly the per
son one church
congregation
chose to teach
its youth about
morals and re
sponsibility,

ing to www.
CNN com, Tex-
as minister
Calvin Inman
turned himself
in to police as the alleged mur-
derer in an unsolved 1994 mur-
der Inman said that at age 16.
he and a friend stabbed a conve-
nience store clerk to death after
the mar; refused to sell the un
tatft boys tobacco
Now, in jail at age 29. In-
man 's congregation of 800 peo-
ple have forgiven their former
youth minister and continue to
look to him as a positive influ-
ence on their children.
"1 am thrilled my sun has a
role model to accept responsi
bility the way Calvin has," said
congregant Robin Thac.
Another church staff mem
ber said she thought (hat
"(Locking) him away someplace
and saying he owes it to society
is robbing the next generation of
a mentor."
How can people be so un-
derstanding about such a dis
gusting act? Just because some-
one confesses to a crime doesn't
mean he or she can escape the
retributions of his or her choic-
es Besides, it takes someone of
considerably less character and
mental state to repeatedly stab
someone who was simply doing
Iheir job.
However, this raises anoth
er interesting question. If we
aren't comfortable depending
on someone who made a mis-
lake 1 3 years ago then who are
we supposed to look to in teach-
ing today's youth about dream-
ing big and making the right de-
cisions'
The Merriam Webster Dic-
tionary defines a role model as
"a person whose behavior in
a particular role is imitated by
others"
Parents would like to think
that Ihey arc the ones who act
as such a person for their chil-
dren, but at least for the forma-
tive years, children only refer to
their parents* behavior subcon-
sciously. At age 9. they would
rather outwardly mimic Paris
Hilton.
Drew Bartlett. disc jock-
ey for Manhattan radio sta-
tion KACZ-FM
96.3, compared -
children today
to those several
years ago
"In the '80s,
children were
raised [through
media and celeb-
rity] to believe that
they could be any-
thing, but today's role
models teach kids that
if you have Dad's money
you can get drunk and flash
people," he said. "There's no
need to achieve,"
It is too difficult today to
find a true role model in mod-
em society. It seems as though
whenever someone new comes
to light like Britney Spears or
Hilary Duff, they mature too
quickly and become objects of
the media circus whose goal
seems to be picking apart seem
inc.lv normal and powerful
young people to the point where
everyone sees them all too nega-
tively.
My fear is that even M i
ley Cyrus will be the target of
vengeful paparazzi in the next
year and thousands of adoles-
cent girls will once again be left
without a hero.
Yes, there are wonderful
programs like Big Brothers and
Big Sisters, but kids have always
admired someone living a life
they can strive to have one day
Where are the Michael (urdans
and Baby Spices for kids today?
The closest I can come to a ce-
lebrity with power ayid influence
fit fur the role model ideal might
be Leonardo DiCapno or Oprah
Winfrey, but what 12-year-old is
going to watch them and follow
their values and actions? It's too
difficult and not enough fun.
"1 don't have role mod-
els; they just let you down." said
Scott Smith, sophomore in pre-
journalism and mass communi-
cations. Smith couldn't be more
correct. Everyone needs to be
more aware of who children are
watching for ideas on life and
behavior.
Kids need to dream big,
but when they perceive glam-
our as drunken rants and shop-
ping sprees, there needs to be a
change.

Biyfhing but dead
Harry MounL an Op- Ed
Contributor to The New York
times, observed that 31 pres-
idents since Thomas Jefferson
- who knew Latin and Greek
- studied Latin, many of them
at a higher level
In 1905, 56 percent of
American high -school students
ftudicd Latin By the 1970s.
Only 6,000 students took the
National Latin Exam
In 2007, ma-re than
\
149,000 students took the Na-
tional Latin Exam, according
to the National Latin Exam
Web Site. Thus. Latin is alive
and well, changing students'
lives across the globe
So what difference does
I -iiiu really make'' It is a win-
dow in which, through the Ian
guage, one can 'gain a glimpse
into the past that provides a
fuller, richer view of the pres-
ent," Mount wrote Latin can
help us connect to our r< % to
and understand the Roman in
fluent e that is so much a part
of Western Civilization
Aside from historical per
spe-ctive, Latin also sharpens
critical thinking skills and in-
creases one's vocabulary Ac-
cording to www.promotelatin.
org, at least 60 percent of Un-
English language comes from
Latin The five Romance Ian
guages all tome from Latin as
well
I -earning l^atin also helps
students learn grammar and
"cuts down the labor and pains
of learning almost any other
subject by at least 50 percent;
said author Dorothy Sayers
in her article in the Nation-
al Review. "The Lost Tools of
Learning"
Latin trains the mind by
testing the memory, inevitably
improving the logic of any giv
en student. The words arc not
as straightforward as they ap-
pear, having multiple endings
in a multiple word order
Therefore. Latin is not
dead Mount said he hopes
that our new generation of stu-
dents will realize "Roma urbs
actema: iatina lingua aetema."
which translates to, "If Rome
is the eternal city, Latin is the
eternal language "
1 have realized how sur-
prisingly useful it is to know
I classical language And I
feel cheated that I was nut ex-
posed to Latin at a younger
age Latin should be taught m
our public schools - even in
elementary school - to help
students to undcrstandthe ori-
gin of certain words and what
those speaking and writing
Latin are saying.
Besides, it is never too
late to tackle a new discipline
Mount wrote in his article that
Alfred the Great, the ninth -
century king of England, be-
gan to study Latin at age 30 in
order to be a better ruler.
As the Roman orator and
statesman Cicero said, "Who-
ever is ignorant of the
past remains forever
a child" Latin is
one of our keys
to the past, al
lowing us to
move our
minds away

New, local church targets college students with 'emerging' style
ByJocVossen
KANSAS STATE COLLEGIAN
Some students say they
do not have time Others
think they will not fit in or
their lifestyle would subject
them to harsh judgment from
peers and spiritual leaders.
Whatever the reasons, more
and more young people are
skipping the traditional Sun-
day service.
The Bama Group, an
evangelical research and ad
v.ocacy organization, said
in a September 2006 report
only 20 percent of people in
their 20s kept the same lev-
els of spiritual activity as they
had in high school. One lo-
cal church aims to attract
that age group to a new alter-
native Sunday service called
The Well
— Feb 10 marked the first
meeting of The Well, orga-
nized by members of Real Life
Church in Manhattan. Whit-
ney McVey, junior in psy-
chology, is a member of the
church and one of The Well's
organizers. She said one of
the biggest challenges for stu-
dents is finding a church that
leels comfortable after mov-
ing to Manhattan.
"When 1 came (to Man-
hattan] 1 was lucky and found
a great church." she said.
"That's not always the case
for students. The Well is new,
it's non -traditional and hope-
fully it can be what some stu-
dents are looking for."
The Well meets at 10 am
every other Sunday at the
Wareham Opera House, 410
Poyntz Ave, The decision to
meet somewhere other than
a traditional church build-
ing was made to decrease
the anxiety some young peo-
ple have about attending reli-
gious services.
"Por me, going into a
church can be kind of intim-
idating," McVey said "We
wanted to meet here for peo-
ple who may be turned off by
the idea of church because of
certain negative connotations
that come along with it. Any-
one and everyone can come
down. It's directed more to
18 to 26 year olds because
that's the population that's
turned off by the word 'Chris-
tian.'"
McVey said the purpose
of The Well was not to "take
people away from their home
churches," but to create an-
other option for worship in
Manhattan The Well's orga-
nizers focused on creating a
friendly and inviting atmo-
sphere,
"My job is greeting peo-
ple." McVey said. "I'll be the
first person to run up to you
and say 'Hey, what's up!'"
David Kinnan, pastor of
Real Life Church, spoke with
80 people in attendance on
Sunday.
Rinnan's message was
delivered between two seg-
ments of live music played
with two guitars, a bass and
drums
"I'm the teacher," Rinnan
said "Traditionally known as
the sermon or preaching, the
teacher will do about 20 min-
utes of lesson. This is a new
worship gathering that we're
offering that has a different
flavor to it."
Rinnan said the idea for
The Well started last May,
and he and members of his
church have been working to
put the service together since
then Rinnan said he wants
to attract the segment of the
college-aged population that
feels disconnected from orga-
nized religion

that get done all over the

US, people typically leave
the church when they leave
home for college or a job,"
Rinnan said "They think it's
irrelevant and boring and full
of hypocrites If people think
that, let's show them it's not
true."
The number of people
who attend the first services
will determine if the venture
continues. If enough interest
is generated, Rinnan s«'d he
hopes The Well will become
a weekly gathering.
"We're leasing the Ware-
ham for four Sundays and
we're trying it out," he said.
'We'll be doing this every oth-
er Sunday: [Today], March 9,
and March 30 We'll decide
after March 9 if well contin-
ue doing it. Hopefully we can
do this every week "
The Well received its
name from the story of la-
cob's Well in the New Testa-
ment of the Christian bible.
"Jesus met a woman at
the well She was considered
socially ugly because she was
sleeping with so many men,"
Rinnan said "However. Jesus
didn't say she was less valu-
able; he just talked with her
about faith That's what The
Well represents - it doesn't
matter what you've done in
the past or what you're doing
now, your value remains the
same The Well represents a
place where you can engage
people as Christ did "
Lance Stafford is the
worship director at Real Life
Church and the vocalist and
guitar player for the band at
The Well. Stafford said he
hopes The Well draws people
by being "a little bit more to
the edge" than contemporary
church services.
"There's a catch phrase
going around called 'emerg-
ing' or 'emergent' to de-
scribe the new worship cul-
ture of people aged 18 to 35,"
Stafford said. "The Well is
an emerging gathering The
word contemporary' comes
with baggage You turn on
the radio sometimes and hear
contemporary Christian mu-
sic Some of it is canned and
cheesy sounding. We want
[The Well] to be emerging."
Services at The Well are
sensory-based and interac-
tive, Stafford said
Worshippers at The Well
can expect small group dis-
cussions and artistic acliv
ities such as painting and
drawing. Besides using mu-
sic for the worship, guests are
invited to write down their
thoughts, prayers and feel-
ings in journals at the back of
the theater.
"It's going to vary every
week," Stafford said "It will
never look the same - there's
not a cookie cutter mold we're
fitting this around There will
always be music and teach-
ing, but the way that's ar-
ranged will probably always
be different Were bringing in
those who aren't being spiri-
tually fed anywhere. No one
should feel intimidated; it's a
welcoming environment, and
you may not feel like you're
coming to a church service at
all-
Rachel Van Hocsen, ju
nior at Manhattan Christian
College, attended the first
worship on Feb. 10 and said
it was the easy-going envi-
ronment that made it enjoy-
able.
"The music is upbeat and
the atmosphere is good," she
said "I thought it was re
taxed, laid back and open
You can come in, bring your
coffee and worship togeth-
er. It was cool. We're here to
worship one God just like ev-
erybody else "

RODEO | Local queen shares insight
Continued from P»qe I
gent manure smell composed
the classic, all American rodeo
spirit that some students live
for,
Matthew Comilius, fresh
man in diesel technologies at
Dodge City
Community College, said he has
participated in every tame-rop-
ing event around the Manhat-
tan area for the past two semes-
ters Cornitius competed in the
lame- roping event Friday night,
and said he is passionate about
the sport because of the adren-
aline rush and competition that
accompanies it.
Comilius. who is from
Wright, Kan . said he initially be-
came interested in rodeo during
his junior year of high school.
He said lie and his friend found
a roping magazine around his
house one day, and thought it
would be fun lo try.
"A buddy and I were bored
and just wanted to do some-
thing," Comilius said "We had
the summer off and we both
had horses, so we tried it and
fell in love with the sport I've
been cumpcling as much as f
cati ever since"
Cornitius said the progres-
sion he has made as a rodeo
competitor because of observing
other competitors he admires
and learning from his mistakes
He said he practices about three
times a week on horseback and
always aims to make positive
improvement with his perfor-
mance
"I've learned so much
uboul the sport from other peo-
ple, which has made me a bet-
ter performer," he said. "I look
at the mistakes I make and the
mistakes others make and try to
go from there Right when you
think yuu know it all, yuu real-
ize there's always something to
learn that will make you even
belter"
Cornitius, who also en-
joys hunting, said the person-
al goal he aims lo achieve each
time he competes is to make it
to the short-round competition
and have a good time. He said
he plans to compete until he
graduates college, and then
wants to participate in the Jack-
pot Ropings
THE RODEO QUEEN
[enae Skelton. sophomore
in agronomy, is the recipient of
the 2008 Miss Rodeo K Stale
title. She said she believes she
achieved this because of her
passion to positively represent
college rodeo and K-State
She said in order to win
her tille, she had to go through
a pageant process which con-
sisted of a written rodeo- knowl-
edge test, a horsemanship con-
test, a personal interview with
the rodeo's judges, a modeling
competition and speech.
Skelton, who is from
Lamed. Kan., said this year was
her fifth year participating in ro-
deo pageants
She competed in her first
pageant when she was 12, when
her hometown county fair
sponsored a rodeo queen con
test. She said after that, she be-
gan traveling to other counties
and rodeos, and has participat-
ed in seven rodeo-queen pag-
eants since
Skelton said she has been
the recipient of the 2002 Paw-
nee County Rodeo Princess, the
2003 Plainville Rodeo Queen,
the 2004 Ellis County Rodeo
Queen, the 2006 Miss Rodeo
McCracken and the 2008 Miss
Rodeo K-State Queen
"Participating in rodeo pag-
eants have made me more con-
fident and approachable," Skel-
ton said "I was very shy when
1 started competing in pageants,
and now I'm a very friendly and
outgoing person I also now un-
derstand more about rodeos
and its specific events because
of the pageants "
Skelton also has competed
in team- roping events since her
freshman year of high school,
though she started riding hors-
es when she was very young
Skelton said while she used
to participate in horse shows,
her father was a team roper. She
decided to also become a team
roper when she got older, which
she said is a typically male-dom-
inated
event in rodeo.
"The rodeo is the ultimate
classic -American sport," Skel-
ton said. "It's my favorite sport,
and 1 compete for fun - it's a
family oriented event for me."

INTERNET I K-State needs many
online-related improvements
Continued from Page 1
"We have not experienced
any issues related to capacity,
but we will certainly continue
to talk with our constituents
about their needs, monitor our
utilization and take any steps
necessary to support the uni-
versity," Lyall said
Increased online traffic
could reshape the Internet, ac-
cording to the article.
The Internet is growing
so rapidly that there are more
computers being connect-
ed than there are network ad-
dresses, Weninger said New
technology and standards arc
being developed to cope with
those problems.
Some Internet service pro-
viders have put unannounced
bandwidth limits on users and
cut off service to customers
who exceed those limits, ac-
cording to the article.
However, those limits
would only affect the few us-
ers that used unusually high
amounts of bandwidth.
K Slate's total Internet us
age has been monitored, but
individual users are not. The
rate of increased demand for
the Internet has been consis-
tent with growing demand for
other on -cam pus technology
related resource, Lyall said
The Internet increases
mentioned in Svensson's arti-
cle were not new and people
would adapt to issues as they
arose, Andresen said
"It's nothing we haven't
seen before, in the sense that
each wave of new functionality
on the web generates a surge
of new usage, which compa-
nies adapt to, and the Internet
moves on," Andresen said.
Still, Weninger said he
believed K-State still need
ed many Internet- related im-
provements.
"We need Enterprise e-
mail. calendar and messaging
as soon as possible," Weninger
said. "iSIS - which was tak-
en from the LASER project,
which was largely a failure -
must be successful And that's
just for this year"

Beasley's game
wasn't enough
By Wendy Haun
KANSAS STAT* COLLEGIAN
WACO, Texas - Freshman forward Mi
chad Beasley scored a career-high 44 points,
breaking Big 12 Conference and KState re
cords, but it wasn't enough to overcome a
balanced offensive attack from Baylor as the
Bears picked up a 92-86 victory Saturday at
the Farrell Center in Waco, Texas.
"I was just trying to help my team," Bea-
sley said. "1 don't want to talk about the
points Obviously, 1 didn't score enough"
He scored 28 points in the first half,
which broke Kevin Durant's record for most
points in a half in Big 12 play His 44 points
was the most scored in Big 12 history in a
conference game It broke the record of 43
points set in 2001 by Missouri's Clarence
Gilbert.
It was also Beasley's 10th 30-point per-
formance, which ties Bob Boozer's career
30-point performance record. He also broke
Carmdo Anthony's 2002-03 record for dou
ble doubles by a freshman - Beasley now
has 23.
Freshman forward Bill Walker added 3 1
points. It was the first time two K- State play-
ers had at least 30 points in the same game
It also was the first time this season the Wild-
cats have lost when they've scored more than
80 points.
KState (18-8, 8-4 Big 12) started the
game on a 12-5 ran, capped off by a three-
point shot from Walker at the 15-minule
mark. However, Baylor battled back into the
game, with the go-ahead basket at the 9:35
mark by freshman guard LaceDarius Dunn.
"We didn't want [junior guard Curtis]
Jerrells to get going with shooting the bas-
ketball," coach Frank Martin said. "We did a
pretty good job of that in the first half. Give

and he brought the fight to the fight- He was
aggressive and made some hard shots over
Michael Beasley."
Baylor (18-8, 6-6 Big 12) played it close
in the second half, eventually taking the lead
for good at the 9:34 mark on a juniper by |ur-
rells. K-Slate pulled within two at the 1:50
mark, after Beasley sank two free throws.
The significant statistic of the second
half occurred when Baylor had 13 points
off of turnovers to K- Stale's zero The Bears
also got 1 1 points off the bench to K- Slate's

KState wins 6 events
at Aheam's KSU open
ByJoelAschbrenner
KANSAS STATE COLLEGIAN
The KState track and field
team gained valuable expert
ence and preparation for next
weekend's Big 12 Conference
Championship Saturday at the
KSU Open
The Wildcats also took six
titles along the way.
Track and field coach Cliff
Rovelto said the open was a
good warm up fur <]ie COOfa
ence meet in Lincoln, Neb. He
said it showed him the team is
getting closer to being ready for
next weekend's competition.
"For the most part, based
on what f observed, I think we
moved that direction," Rovelto
said The things we wanted or
hoped to accomplish, we did "
- In the first event of the
meet in Ah cam Field House.
tllE. Wildcats notched a one
two- three finish in the wom-
en% weight throw Junior Lo-
rta Groves placed first with
aHE throw of 69-02.75, a meet
record, the second best throw
of her career, and her sec-
ond NCAA automatic quali-
fying mark. Finishing just be-
hind Groves was senior Laci
Hdler, who earned her fifth
NCAA provisional qualifying
mark with a throw of 64-03.00.
Bounding out the lop-three
waj freshman Amanda Boor.
Bow set a personal best with
hw throw of 53-05 00
Rovelto said he expects
Groves and Heller to be able
to score for the Wildcats in the
conference meet.
"Obviously Laci and Lo-
ren, even on days that are sub-
par, they're still throwing at a
high-enough level that they are
going to contribute, significant-
ly," Rovelto said.
The Wildcats earned a
one-two finish in the wom-
en's 60-meter dash, with senior
Mamyka Honey cutt edging
out senior teammate Donnicce
Parrish. The duo finished one-
two in the prelims and then
again in the finals with Hon
eycutt clocking in at 7.58, and
Currish finishing at 7.69 Hon
eycutl's prelim time of 7.57 tied
her career best and was her
best of the season.
Wildcat pole vaulters also
earned a one-two finish. Ju-
nior Nancy Harrington cleared
a height of 12-00.5, and soph
OHM Alexandra Gonzalez
cleared the bar at 11-06.5 to
take second.
Junior Mike Myer secured
a victory for the Wildcats when
he finished the men's 60-meter
dash with a second-best career
time ol 6 82
With many athletes resting
for next weekend, the Wildcats
only had five athletes cumpete
in races longer than 400-me-
lers. Of Ihese competitors, two

"I'hi a lot more confident
about making jumps on my
first attempt, which is really im-

want lo jump 7 1.5 or 7-2.0."
Rovelto said he was im-
pressed by junior Adam
Fretwell and freshmen Rok

Ara Will pool earned second
place finishes in the men's long
jump and the women's triple

against Santa
Clara 0:1 Sat-
urday, and
California on
Sunday, were canceled be-
cause of inclement weather.
The Wildcats' season
opener started off with a
CRUZ
leadoff home run by junior
right fielder Jordan Cruz
to right field off of Gold-
en Bears junior pitcher Ty-
son Ross Cruz's blast was
the first leadoff homer by a
Wildcat in nearly four years
when Terry Blunt opened
a game against Oklahoma
State with a homer on April,
23, 2004.
Cal came back in the
bottom of the first inning
with a pair of runs, but also
got single runs in the third
and fourth innings to put
the game out of reach. The
Golden Bears final run came
in the seventh off KState ju
nior reliever Lance Hoge.
as sophomore third base-
man Jeff Kobernus homered
to left. Wildcat senior pitch-
er Brad Hutt was tagged
with the loss, giving up three
earned runs in six innings.
Cal's Ross wasn't flus-
tered by giving up the lead-
off home run, coming back
to get the win and striking
out seven K- Stale batters in
five innings
KState was able to get
only one hit off of Ross,
but when Cal reliever Dan-
iel Wolford came in for the
last four innings, the Wild-
cats' luck didn't change as
they couldn't touch him, go-
ing without a single hit for
the rest of the game. Wolford
also fanned five more Wild-
cat hitters.
The Wildcats' bats were
more alive against Sanla
Clara than against Cal, but
a seven run fourth inning by
Santa Clara was upsetting
for KState.
The game started off
smoothly for Wildcat senior
starting pitcher Chase Bayuk
as he got inning-ending dou
ble plays in the first two in-
nings, but he got tagged for a
pair of runs in the third
K Stale was unable to
answer in the top of the
fourth, and then the flood
gates opened on the Wild
cats.
The Broncos I allied five
extra base hits and crossed
the plate seven times in
their half of the fourth San-
ta Clara's scoring burst con-
sisted of three doubles and a
three-run homer off junior
reliever Todd Vogel
K State got on the board
in the fifth inning as soph
omore catcher Daniel Del
lasega got a base hit to left
to score junior inficlder Nale
Ten brink
Tenbrink then add-
ed another run as he hit a
solo homer to right field in
the ninth inning. The Wild
cats were unable to build any
momentum as they were shut
down the rest of the inning.
The Cats' next play ac-
tion will be in the Cardinal
Classic in Beaumont, Tex
as They will play Feb 28 lo
March 2.
K State opponents will
be Arkansas State. Michigan

Equestrian team drops
Baylor weekend shows
By Jonathan Wright
KANSAS SUn GOUMUM
Despite a strong showing
by the Western squad, the K-
Sute equestrian team came up
short Friday at Baylor, making
it the team's third-straight loss
this season, The Bears edged
out the Wildcats 10-8 on the
first of back -to -back road
shows.
The Weslcrn squad beat
the Bears 5-3 and swept the
MVP awards. Freshman Ale
ciu Zimbelman and sopho-
more Courtney Watters both
took home their first MVP
awards
Zimbelman won an MVP
in Reigning while Watters won
an MVP in Horsemanship Ju-
nior Leslie Yates won an MVP
in Equitation on the Flat.
The competition also in-
cluded several exhibition
matches. Sophomore Kaylee
Stout won an MVP award in
Reigning, while sophomore
Mikaela Sundgren won an
MVP award in Horsemanship
The K- State equestrian
team continued its road trip
the next day at Texas A&M
where it dropped another
show.
The Wildcats lost to the
Aggies 14-8, making it the
fourth -straight loss on the
season and third straight this
spring.
Junior Tara Hallan cap-
tured her first varsity win by

man Randi Staudley in Reign
ing. Junior Katie Mellon also

"t don't want, in any
way, to take anything away
from Baylor." Martin said.
"They've had a heck of a
year. They've come off a
stretch of playing some
hard, hard gHDBt and losing
some heartbreakers They
came out today and protect
ed their home court. That's
what good players do."
Besides Walker and
Beasley, freshman forward
Ron Anderson had five
points for the Wildcats and
senior guard Blake Young
had four. The Wildcats out-
rebounded Baylor, 42-34,
with 24 of those rebounds
coming from Beasley and
Walker The Wildcats only
shot 37 percent from the
floor in the second half, al-
ter a 56-percent first half
Scoring big for Bay
lor was Jerrells, who had 24
points, junior forward Kev-
in Rogers, who had 18 and
sophomore guard Tweety
Carter, who had 12 Dunn
also had 16 points for the
Bears Baylor's leading re-
bounder was Rogers, who
had 10 boards. The Bears
shot 58 percent from the
floor in the second half, in-
cluding six of 10 from be-
yond the arc.
"Our last two road loss-
es, I haven't been very hap-
py," Martin said. "I'd like to
think that the average per-
son who pays attention to
this conference and doesn't
rush to judge a single team
understands how difficult it
is to win on the road in this
conference There's not an-
other league in the country
that is so good, top to bot-
tom."
The Wildcats will face
off against Texas at 8 to-
night in a Big Monday
showdown The game will
be broadcasted on ESPN
Walker said the team has ac-
knowledged the bad stretch
of road games.

Treasured trash
Thrift-store items cheap, stylish
Thrift shops, second hand
stores, pawn shops. They all
have different names, but es-
sentially the
same items
when it comes
to cloth-
ing - cheap,
used threads
thai are usu
ally from the
1960s. I will
admit, the only ELISE
aspect the ma PODHAJSKV
jority of these
items are good
for is tacky-themed parties But
if you really dig deep enough
in these shops and patient-
ly flip through rack after rack
of polyester jackets and over-
sized sweaters, you can almost
always find something cule and
wearable.
1 visited three second
hand stores in Manhattan -
The Salvation Army. Grand Ol'
Trunk and My Priend's Closet
- in search of a few old items I
could make look new again I
was a bit apprehensive at first,
but was pleasantly surprised by
the shopping outcome I was
able to put together an out-
fit for every occasion - eve-
ning, business, business casual
and casual - using what I found
in the second-hand stores and
pieces I already owned It takes
a little more tune then strolling
through the mall, but on our
college budgets, who couldn't
afford digging a little to spend
$15 on seven items instead of
just one?
If Grand 01 Trunk is al
ready your favorite store, keep
up the hunting. If you've nev-
er stepped foot inside a thrift
shop, give it a try I think you'll
be pleasantly surprised with
what you find Most of the
items will be basics and need
to be paired with more excit-
ing pieces, but every once in a
while, you will find something
truly different But just a friend
ly reminder - thoroughly wash
and clean everything before
you wear it
1) Found on a rack next to den-
im tube tops, this sweater dress
was originally from Target - the
tag was even still attached -
before it made its way to My
Friend's Closet. This is my fa-
vorite find of all the pieces, be-
cause you could literally walk
into Target and buy it right
now But instead of paying
$1799, 1 only paid a fraction of
its cost.
2) Basics like tank tops are
one of the easiest things to
find in second-hand stores.
Though most of them should
not be worn on their own, they
work just fine for coverage un-
der thin shirts or low-cut tops,
and they're always super cheap
3) Belts are still very popular
in the fashion industry, but in
stead of the thick, wide belts
that were in a few years ago,
style has down-sized. This is
great for thrift -shoppers be-
cause each store I visited had
tons of used belts - some more
used than others. But the ma-
jority were skinny to one-inch
- perfect for any outfit today.
4) Lucky for us, high-waist-
ed skirts and pants are in de-
mand once again, and they
are in thrift shops by the doz-
ens The trick, however, is find-
ing one that doesn't date it-
self by length, pattern or pleat-
ing What made this skirt great
was the simple color, design
and pockels - pockets are very
trendy on skirts right now. This
skirt could also easily be short-
ened for a younger look.
5-6) jewelry is my favorite part
about second-hand shops. I
love vintage earrings and neck-
laces, and there are always
many onc-ofa-kind accesso-
ries to be found in these stores
When 1 saw this set, 1 knew I
had to have them; pearls are a
timeless classic that make any
outfit more sophisticated
7) As I said earlier, basics are
the easiest to find in
thrift stores Many people
probably walked right past
this sweater, seeing it only as i
a boring orange turtleneck.
But paired with the right
pieces, this boring sweat-
er becomes a colorful ne-
cessity
8) Something else I love about
second -hand -shop jewelry is
its versatility If you're creative
enough, you can take pins mid
broaches and turn them into
necklaces or earrings, This case
was a little more simple than
that, but equally as fun. This
chunky, dangle necklace is ac-
tually some hideous belt from
who-knows-when. But when
worn as a necklace, it becomes
very cute and trendy
9) I love these shoes The point-
ed toe is something that has
been in style for a while now,
but the open cut is what's hot
with designers right now Typ-
ically, I've seen this cut on an-
kle boots, but rarely on a pump
Watch shoe stores over the next
few months. 1 can almost guar-
antee you'll start to see heels
like these
10) Again with the basics Cute
button- downs are fairly sim-
ple to find in thesostores and
can go with almost any outfit.
A solid cardigan is an essential
to any woman's wardrobe, and
it fits even better when you pay
less than $3 lor it.
1 1) Ah, the vintage T-shirt; one
of the most fun items to look
for in a second-hand store
It seems to be in a surplus in
most shops Its look of fad-
ed, thinned cotton is some-
thing many designers charge
big bucks for - Standard Style,
a designer store in Kansas City,
Mo., and Lcawood, Kan., sells
faded and thinned KU T-shirts
for $90. but who would want
that in the first place? - but
you only have to spend a cou-
ple do 11 an at most it you go to
a thrift store

Sex secrets can be damaging, yet add touch of mystery to relationship
Shhh keep quiet I've
got a secret a sex secret that
might even make the furry
handcuff-
ready Jen-
na Jameson
blush.
But be-
fore I air
the dirty
laundry of
relation-
ships past, I AMNinr.
LAWLESS
wonder just
how many
in the Little
Apple have secrets too - and
of course, what kind of secrets
you're holding back.
When it comes to suc-
cessful relationships, peo-
ple supposedly open up. They
reach a point of comfort at
which their partner receives
an all -access pass to their his-
tory personal, sexual, what
have you. But somewhere be-
tween the hand-holding and
late-night pillow talks is hes-
itancy, a point at which one
partner considers withhold-
ing his or her lustier past .. but
does it pay ofP
In a recent relationship,
I became involved with clas-
sic bad boy: a slightly under-
achieving, drunken woman-
izer, who somehow scrapped
up enough charm to catch my
attention - and of some un-
derage, short-skirted types
He was unbelievably cute, but
equipped with barrels of cyni-
cism, I wasn't taken too easily
We talked. By the wee hours
of the night at his wall-to-wall
party, J finally let off my guard
- hell, I was impressed he tol-
erated my long winded banter
that long
We hit it off By the end
of the night, 1 hid him some
farewell smooches, head-
ed home and waited. It didn't
take long before this bad boy
invited me back for additional
nights of cocktails and cock-
and-bull stories We laughed
more, talked more and kissed
more. Yet over lime, the heat
in this good -girl, bad- boy ro-
mance lost its sizzle as the ru-
mors - and what turned out
to be tiny little secrets - sur-
faced
Turned out my bad boy
had an even worse habit of se
ducing barely legal women
with booze and broken prom-
ises - kind of like the tale of
the bad man who lured chil-
dren with candy when you
were little Though this sto-
ry wasn't completely shock-
ing, the moment 1 learned of
things like sex tapes and other
whips-and -chains stories, I be-
gan to back out. I confronted
him about the stories, which
he confirmed were true Yet,
I felt like a foot 1 didn't tru-
ly know the man whom I be-
gan to fall for, and I knew re-
tracting from his hooks would
probably be my safest escape
from his sex secrets
Sex is power, but when
sex is a secret, it can be an un-
earthly, hidden power that
can overwhelm the species
In the case of this sexually ex-
plorative bad boy, he is not
atone A 2007 journal of Sex
Research sludy shows 80 per
cent of women and 98 percent
of men have frequent lanta
sies about people other than
their partner, and the gender
gap narrows with longer term
relationships. Aboul 37 per-
cent of these men and 24 per
cent of these women bring
iln.se fantasies to reality - but
of these people, many proba-
bly weren't honest with then
selves or even their partners
Secrets in a relation-
ship can be great. After all.
none of us truly need to hear
the mind-numbing details of
our partner's ex's dirty hab-
its. But, there is a line to be
drawn - a common courte-
sy rule you should factor into
your relationships: if the se
cret can substantially change
someone's interest in you, you
should front the facts. If the
secret is just a trivial detail -
like the fact you like to hum
to the theme song of "Rocky"
in the morning - you can get
away with those details for a
while.
Everyone has a dirty lit-
tle secret, but it's how we keep
those secrets that can strangle
relationships Though it's im-
portant to keep relationships
honest, it's OK to keep a lit-
tle mystery beyond the bed-
room. In fact, the mystery can
be quite healthy - giving a lit-
tle sexual excitement in honor
of the details we don't know
Keep your secrets Just make
sure you keep them from hurt-
ing the ones you love

K-State vs. KU game proved memorable experience for fans, outsiders, players
By Jonathan Wright
KANSAS VTATfc COLLKilAN
Before Ihe buzzer could
finish sounding, a sea of pur-
ple charged over the railings
onto the court. The media per-
sonnel tried their best to avoid
the rush, but the students went
over them, sending notebooks
and laptops flying off the ta-
bles onto the floor. A purple
mass swarmed center court as
fans exalted in the first Wildcat
victory over rival KU at home
in 25 years. The fan's response
was a welcoming sight for se
nuir guard Gent Stewart
"It's all appreciative,"
Stewart said. "The fans appreci-
ate whal we've given ihcm and
we appreciate what they've giv-
en us by coming out and sup
porting us It's a two-way street
We're giving back to them |usl
like they are coming out and
supporting us"
Several K- State (ans, play-
ers and outsiders alike were in
Bramlage Coliseum Jan. 30 said
they will remember it Here are
three stories of the memories
from that day,
THE K-STATE FAN
II was 4:30 am, and while
most college students still slept,
hundreds of K- State students
on Jan 30 gut an early start to
their day, including Kris Haw-
ley, junior in agribusiness.
"Today's the day, man,"
Hawley said.
He put on several layers of
clothes. When he walked out-
side, he noted the strong north
wind He turned back and
grabbed some extra blankets.
On his way to Bramlage
Coliseum, he said he couldn't
think about anything except
the game Kansas was coming
to Manhattan to play the Wild-
cats With freshman forward
Michael Beasley's lamous guar-
antee, the stage was set for an
extraordinary evening. When
he arrived, he was surprised to
see people already in line
"There were people there
who said they slept in the bush-
es {to avoid police) overnight
so they could be first in line,"
Hawley said.
Hawley took his rightful
place in line and bundled up.
The wind snuck in through the
(olds in the blanket, which he
said kept him awake,
"ft was cold, and did 1
mention it was cold? Oh yeah,
it was really cold, loo," Hawley
said.
As the minutes turn into
hours, more fans showed up By
10 am, several hundred people
were in line. Some of
Hawteys friends showed up
around noon. They woke him
and kept him company as the
day wore on.
As students showed up,
the line grew. Television crews
arrived and filmed students bi
line. They had waited hours to
see their team play.
THE OUTSIDER
His plane arrived on lime
at Kansas City Intcmation
al Airport. After a brief stroll
down to baggage claim, Sports
Illustrated writer Luke Winn
walked over to get his rent-
al car As he turned on the ig-
nition and began the long trek
down 1-70, he began thinking
about his article
He had never been to
Manhattan, Kan. All he knew
was Sports Illustrated assigned
him to do an in-depth article
on KU's senior forward, Dar-
nell Jackson, in the next issue
of its magazine
Winn finally arrived in
Manhattan As he made his
way down Kimball Avenue and
toward Bramlage Coliseum, he
saw something off in the dis-
tance. He said there seemed to
be a blurry purple line extend-
ing from the Coliseum all the
way out to Kimball Avenue.
It was the students He said
he had seen it lime and again,
so it was nothing new io him
As he got out ol his car and
shut the door, the wind hit him.
Now he said he understood the
true dedication of the Wildcat
fans
"I've seen tent villages at
plenty of schools," Winn said.
"But the fact that K-State stu-
dents waited outside in that
weather - and even hid out in
bushes - showed some real for-
titude. I was freezing just walk-
ing from my rental car to the
media gate There's no way
I could have lasted out there
from 5 a.m. until game time"
Winn walked down to the
media gate and into the arena,
Soon, the crowd was allowed
in and students sprinted down
the rows of the arena to get a
prime seat for the game
It was almost time to start
the game The players were
back into the locker room and
would soon be coming out to
go through final warm-ups. Out
of nowhere, something unique
catches Winn's attention.
THE PLAYER
He said he relied his shoe-
laces one last time in the lock-
er room. Coach Frank Martin
gave his players some final in-
spirational words. As they ex-
iled the locker room, the video
camera sat at the end of the hall-
way, and off in the distance, se-
nior guard Clent Stewart heard
them He said his heart began
to pound harder and harder un-
til he could hardly concentrate.

Stewart is in his senior
year as a Wildcat and has been
through countless games at
Bramlage Coliseum For some
reason, he said he continues to
get the same feeling in the pit of
his stomach every time.
fn front of him, senior
guard Blake Young cusped
his hand to his ear, imploring
the crowd to get louder One
thought went through Stewart's
head:
"Let's gel it," Stewart said.
"1 came here to play basketball
in front of 13.000 people, so
[I'm thinking] let's get it"
As the team made its way
into the tunnel, the crowd was
near a deafening volume The
team huddled up right before
running onto the court Stew-
art delivered one message to his
teammates:
"It's time to shine," Slewart
said to his teammates
The huddle broke. A thun-
derous roar erupted from Ihe
crowd as the team made its
way onto the court. The band
played the fight song, and
13,000 purple fans sang along
in one voice.
Then, the band changed its
tune, playing the "Wabash Can-
nonball" Thousands of scream
ing students moved back and
forth to the music Up and down
they went in a tradition that still
gels to Slewart. he said.
"Sometimes. I'm on the
court and I'm kind of doing it
myself," Stewart said "It's a lot
of fun seeing them do the Wa-
bash."
The one-minute buzzer
sounded, and Ihe players went
over to their benches As he sat
down, Stewart went through
his last-minute preparations.
The opposing team was about
to be introduced As he glanced
across the court again, his eyes
grew wide.
Less than 100 feet from
him were thousands of news-
papers. The students had all sat
down and held up newspapers,
as if to say that Ihe other team
wasn't worth Iheir time.
After the opposing learn
was finished, Stewart said he
glanced back across the court
The newspapers were gone
The students leapt io their
feet and tossed thousands of
newspaper bits into the air in
jubilation For a moment, Stew-
art said he was lost in a trance
An assuring thought briefly rait
through his head when he saw
Ihe newspaper bits float softly
back down Io the ground
"You don't see that at oth-
er places," Stewart said "When
opposing teams come here,
they are probably surprised to
see that "
Next, it was game time.
Stewart said he was focused
The added noise gave him an
adrenaline rush. Each time
Ihe Wildcats scored, he heard
the crowd cheer and holler. It
got so loud sometimes that he
couldn't hear himself 1h ink.
"I definitely do notice (the
crowd] during the game," Stew-
art said "Especially at times
when we make a big run and
the other coach has to call a
timeout Like during the KU
y;ime, you couldn't hear on the
court."
During difficult stretch
es, it seemed as if the crowd
was almost willing the Wild
cats through the rough patch-
es. As the game neared its end,
Winn couldn't believe what he
was witnessing. The Wildcats
were on the verge of pulling off
a miracle upset
With 40 seconds left, fresh-
man forward Bill Walker re-
ceived a long pass on a break-
away. Walker dunked the boll
through the rim. The crowd
erupted in complete madness.
K-State was merely seconds
away from ending the streak
"The students really
brought it for that KU game,"
said Luke Winn "It was deaf
ening at times 1 was think
ing about it afterward, and I
hadn't heard a home crowd
like that since being at Illinois
during their great 2004-05 sea-
son Assembly Hall, like Bram-
lage, isn't a beautiful place, but
they're both capable of getting
crazy-loud"
On the court, Kris Haw
ley was among thousands of
screaming fans He, along with
everyone else, was jumping up
and down al center court, hold-
ing up a finger, signifying K-
State's firsi place standing in
the Big 12 Conference

WHAT KANSAS COACH BILL SELF HAD TO SAY
ABOUT BRAMLAGE COLISEUM JAN. 30
*Wt wf not play in jn environnw nl like this again this year. This wu fabulous. Thm will be
some other good one* we go to. but this wjs fabulous I couldn I even hear the wrwite blew.
Our guards dktn't (ommunioie as well as possible Io get ewrybody on the same page We
iw't blame thai'
"The feeling was indescrib-
able," Hawley said.
The path back to the locker
room for Stewart was long and
tiresome. He had just played
basketball for nearly two hours
against some of the besl ath-
letes in Ihe country As he sat
in front of his locker exhaust-
ed, he couldn't help but think
about how important Ihe fans
at K-State are and how special
he feels to play in front of them
One word comes to his mind
when thinking about K-State
"Tremendous," Stewart
said with a smile
Waiting outside for 12
hours in the cold was worth it,
Hawley said.
"You know," Hawley said
"It was cold It was miserable
II was a long wait. But I'd da it
aHiim in a heartbeat."

Lack of recruits shouldn't affect K-State

Last April, thanks to the
recruiting genius of coach
Prank Martin and assis-
tant Dillon
tc Hill, the
K Slate
men s bas-
tisfball team
brought in
not only the
best recruit-
ing class
the school
had ever
seen, but ar-
guably the
best Class o I
2007 in the entire nation
Headlined by (wo five-
star recruits named Michael
Beasley and Bill Walker, the
Wildcats* eight man recruit-
ing class was ranked No 1
Ml college basketball by Ri
vats com Many of these
players hove made signif-
icant contributions to the
team's success this season,
which proves Martin, Hill
and the rest ol the K- State
coaching staff know how to
go out and find talent.
However, after coming
nl't the best recruiting year
111 K State history, it appears
Die situation will be much
different for the Wildcats
this season.
Signing day. which will
take place April 16, is last
approaching, and the Wild-
cats currently have a grand
total of zero commitments
for the 2008-09 season
Though this might initially
i. nine as a shock, there's no
cause for alarm
With one red shirt fresh-
man, six true freshmen (in-
cluding one who is current-
ly red shirted) and a junior
irjusfer on the current ros-
ter, it appears the coach -
es are in no hurry to sched-
ule any recruiting trips in I he
I future. Let's take a look
at what the future has in
store for each position
GUARDS
I'm not saying K State
(18-7. 8-3 Big 12 Conference]
won'i have any gaps to Nil
next season What I'm saying
is they already have all the
tools they need to fill those
gaps, so recruiting isn't nee
essary right now.
For instance, the Wild-
cats will lose depth at guard
with the departure of seniors
Blake Voung, who has start-
ed all 25 games this season,
uid Oral Stewart, who has
seen art ion in 22 contests,
including 14 starts
However, freshman Ja-
cob Pullen, who has played
in all 25 games with 13
starts, is constantly improv
ing and gaining confidence
as a starter, and junior Denis
Clements, who transferred
to K-Slate from the Universi-
tj ul Miami after last season,
will be eligible to play next
season, so the Wildcats have
two perfectly capable re-
placements. Problem solved.
FORWARDS
It appears the Wildcats
would even be able to re
bound if freshmen Michael
Beasley or Bill Walker de-
freshman
guard Jacob
Pullen makes
a shot ovei
Missouri s Leo

cide to leave K-State lor the
NBA after this season (let's
hope thai doesn't happen,
hut it's definitely a possibili-
ty). Junior Darren Kent, who
has played in alt but one
game this season, and fresh-
man Ron Anderson, who has
seen time in 22 games, in
eluding six starts, have both
shown that they can make
their presence fell in the
middle.
lunior Andre Gilbert,
who has averaged 19.1 in in
utee in 19 contests for the
Wildcats, has shown the
ability to score from any-
where on the floor (see
his 22-point performance
against Rider on Nov 25.
2007)
Freshman Dominique
Sutton, a late-arrival who
has seen action in 11 games
with four starts, has shown
flashes of brilliance and ex-
plosive athletic ability, and
freshman Jamar Samuels,
who joined the squad with
Sutton on Dec. 26, 2007. hut
opted to red -shirt for the rest
Of Hie season, will look to
compete for playing time as
wal]
Also, let's not rule out
the possibility of senior Da-
vid Huskins being granted
one more year of eligibility.
The NCAA won't tell K-State
whether Hoskins is receiving
a medical redshirl until alter
the conclusion ul the season,
so keep your fingers crossed
NEW ADDITIONS
If you think about it, you
could look at Samuels and
Clemente as an impromp-
tu 2008 recruiting class. Nei-
ther player has seen any ac
tn mi in a Wildcat uniform
yet, but both already have a
significant amount of expe-
rience This is a big advan
lage because they won't have
to wait until next season to
learn how things work like
high-school recruits would
Because Hoskms would
be returning from his injury
after having a season off. he
falls in this category as well
He has an even bigger ad-
vantage because he's played
two seasons in K-Stale's sys-
tern under former coach-
es Jim Wooldridge and Bob
Huggins.
Honestly, how many
schools can say their re
cruiting class has a freshman
wiih previous experience in
their team's system, as well
as two players that already
have experience playing at
the college level '.' My guess
is K- Stale would be the only
school that could make that
claim
When signing day ar-
rives in April, don't plan on
hearing K-Slate's name be-
ing tossed around nearly as
much as tt was Iu.m i i
2007, Martin and his staff
proved that they can bring
some of the best talent in
the country to Manhattan,
ind they can bring it in large
numbers. They executed this
strategy so well last year that
they can afford to stay away
from the recruiting trail for a
while.
It appears K Slate is fi
nally starting lu reap the
benefits of having such a
young squad. This is a talent-
ed group of players, and it's
highly unlikely that most of
i he in would go anywhere, so
I here's no need to panic, K-
Slate fans.
Recruiting class ur not.
the Wildcats will be ready to
roll nexl season.

Making a comeback
Now back from injury, Gipson helps Wildcats to No. 1 spot in Big 1 2 play
By Joel Aschbrennw
KANSAS STATF. C01.U.HIAN
When junior forward Marl-
ies Gipson dislocated her knee
during a team practice last Jan-
uary, the Wildcats were only
able to win Five of their last 18
games
"It was real tough watching
my team struggle," Gipson said.
"It was hard, but my teammates
were definitely there for me.
It's always hard sitting out and
watching games Just remaining
positive was something I had to
concentrate on"
The team had started the
season with a 14-2 record, but
finished at just 19-15, with Gip-
son sidelined This season, with
Gipson back in the line-up. the
women's basketball team is 18-7
and tied for the lead in the Big
12 Conference
[( the Wildcats strug
gles without Gipson last sea-
son didn't prove how valuable
she is to the team, current stais
suggest otherwise. With her, the
Wildcats are 10-2 in the Big 12.
and are ranked No, 15 in the
country She is the Wildcats'
No. 2 leading scorer, notching
12 points per game, and is grab-
bing a team -high 8 2 rebounds
per game

ly picked to finish eighth in the
conference and are now atop
the League standings Couch
Deb Patterson said this is a tes-
tament to how valuable Gipson
has been to this season.
"I think she is that big of
an impact player in our pro-
gram." Patterson said "When
she brings intensity and when
she brings confidence to the
floor, we're a different basket
ball team"
Patterson compared Gip-
son to a quarterback on offense
and a middle linebacker when
the Wildcats are on the defen-
sive side of the floor.
"Whether it's offense or de-
fense. Marl ies makes it go," Pat-
terson said "She's the brains of
the operation. She anticipates,
and she makes big plays or
helps set up big plays"
Sophomore forward Ash
ley Sweat said Gipson s ability
shoot outside and her versatili-
ty inside add another element to
the team's attack
"On the defensive end she
brings a lot loo." Sweat said
"She has great timing on shot
blocks. She's a great rebound
er. Having her back obvious
ly brings another dimension to
our team."
Sweat, who was a team-
mate of G ipso u's at McPherson
High School, said it was tough
watching Gipson sit out after
playing with her for so long.
After enduring rehab this
last summer. Gipson said she
felt like she was all they way
back to full strength by mid
September She said she is now
playing at 100 percent
"It hasn't affected me at
all," Gipson said "1 don't think
about it, because I leel like if 1
think about it. 1 will start hes-
itating or second guessing my-
self
Sweat said she sometimes
has to remind herself that Gip-
son is coming off an injury be-
cause she is playing at such a
high level.
"An injury like that is so
hard to come back from." Sweat
said. "I think that is a testament
to the type of person she is. to
come back from something like
thai, and to be such a strong
player."
Her injury gave some
younger players a chance to step
up and gain experience, and
even helped the Wildcats grow
as a team, Gipson said, hut she
is glad to be on the court, this
season.
"I'm just happy to be back
in the lineup." Gipson said "Ev
ery game 1 get to play I am defi-
nitely thankful for"

Columnist serves as Wildcat Press Secretary, explains losses
?V*I
KELLY
WILLIAMS
Whether you arc an am-
ateur or a professional pol-
itician, having the ability to
address the
public in
any circum-
stance is an
extreme-
ly valued
trait. How-
ever, poli-
ticians do
not always
encounter
crowds that
are entire-
ly receiving.
and it becomes necessary to
spin a negative topic into a
positive one.
After three disappointing
road losses this monlh, the K-
State men's basketball team is
being subjected to much dc-
bale over whether or not they
can really get the job done.
So, in lighl of the upcoming
Student Government Associ-
ation elections and all the po-
litical hoopla surrounding our
country today. 1 am enacting
myself as the official Wildcat
press secretary My job is sim-
ple - just spin the negatives
from the three recent loss-
es into some key positives in
regards to the future of this
Wildcat team
"Press Secretary Williams,
please explain the recent lei
down at Missouri, fust three
days after the biggest win in
the program's last 25 years,
the Wildcats fall to a lesser
rival. What happened?"
Thank you for the ques
lion I'm glad you asked, this
is something we've wanted to
address.
You might have wit-
nessed while watching the
game, and as coach Prank
Martin also noted in (he post-
game conference, that the
learn played a great first half,
but accompanied it with a
lackluster second half.
That being said, it inev-
itably led to a Tiger win. Wc
felt the team learned a valu-
able lesson from this game:
Once you have the opponent
on the mal, you cannot let
him get back up
It is unfortunate that the
lesson learned at Missouri re-
sulted in a loss, bul we did
come back as a team to win
two in a row against Ne-
braska and Oklahoma State
1 might also add that those
wins ended with a large mar
gin of victory, proving thai
the effort and drive were
still evident, Next question,
please.
"Yea, over here Mr. Williams.
The Missouri loss might be
vindicated in your explana-
tion, but please detail whal
happened at Texas Tech. Yet
another inexcusable loss lo a
bottom feeder in the Big 12,
correct?"
To some degree your
comment is true. One could

sneak out a win that night,
but much learning and grow-
ing occurred on "Pat Knight
Day," in Lubbock, Texas.
"Okay Mr. Williams, nice
job outlining those first two
conference road losses for
us. but how does one ex-
plain the loss to Nebraska?
They are a team that had
lost lo Colorado, Iowa State
and most recently were de-
feated by a reeling Missouri
squad at home. Please, clar-
ify for us why we should ac-
cept such a performance?"
You pose a valid ques-
tion and this loss is not easy
to justify, but it is understand-
able when looking at the big
picture Expectations have
been set high for this team
throughout the year. They
were high before the season,
high after Thanksgiving and
even higher after the win over
KL 1 think to some degree
an exaggerated level of expec-
tation has hurt this team in
the eyes of the public, which
makes a road loss to Nebras-
ka call for many to hit the
panic button.
What I would like to reiter-
ate over and over is that this
team is young - very young
at that We are not only wit-
nessing 18 and 19 year old
young men grow up on the
court right before our eyes,
but also watching a rook-
ie head coach do the same
Progress is being made night
in and nighl out, but I would
have tb agree that the Ne-
braska loss was bad. It may
actually be the first "true" let-
down since the conference
season started
I feel that the loss will
not be accepted by the play-
ers or coaches of K-State. and
that you as a fan should not
accept it either It was the
compound of a lack of emo-
tion, pride and focus, and it
looks like the Wildcats finally
got a genuinely bad loss out
of their system Also, take no-
tice thai these losses have all
been to inferior opponents. It
will be interesting to see how
the Wildcats respond on the
road in games against teams
such as Kansas.
In closing, 1 feel that the
K-State Wildcat men's bas-
ketball team is doing a fine
job so far this season and
progress is being made every
night, even if that progress is
discovered from analyzing a
negative Young teams take
a while lo develop, and we
might have been spoiled ear-
lier this year when the Wild-
cats started off on fire. Look
for our Wildcats to rediscov-
er their stride this week in
games against Texas and Kan
sas - two great tests lo see
how far this team might go
Thanks again for all of
Ihe questions, ladies and gen-
tlemen; it has been a pleasure
addressing them 1 wilt now
leave you with one final com-
ment, and that is no matter
what the situation it's always
a great day to be a Wildcat.
There's no spinning necessary
for that statement because it's
always a positive This "Wild-
cat Presser," is officially over,
and thank you for your par-
ticipation.

RCPD receives grant to
fight underage drinking
By Elis* Podhajsky
KANSAS STATE COLLEGIAN
The Riley County Police
Department has received a
grant to help prevent underage
drinking from the Kansas De-
partment of Transportation's
Bureau of Traffic Safety for the
fourth year in a row.
KDOT program consultant
Robert Eichkom said the grant
is for $9,33016
"The Office of Juvenile Jus-
tice provides every stale with
a pot of money for enforcing
the underage drinking laws,"
he said "We receive this mon-
ey from Washington every
year, and we try to distribute
it throughout the state to local
agencies to help combat the un-
derage drinking problem, which
is prevalent especially in college
towns."
Eichkom said the RCPD
will use the money to help pay
for officers' overtime while
they are patrolling for under-
age drinking. He said they will
be looking for house parties,
underage purchasing of alco-
hol and checking bars in search
of youths in possession or con
sumption of alcohol,
According to a RCPD press
release, officers will patrol resi
dential areas during weekend
evenings, based on past com-
plaints of underage drinking
by the public. The release also
stated police will perform bar
checks in Aggieville as well as
the city's outerlying areas
RCPD LI Steve Boyda said
the grant will be effective March
1 through May 31 He said the
coverage and number of offi-
cers on patrol will be the same
as last year, but officers will try
at least one different preven-
tion technique However, Boy-
da said he preferred to keep the
new technique confidential
Police also will focus on a
statute that was implemented
in July regarding minors at par-
ties and the parties' hosts. Boy
da said the statute makes party
hosts responsible if minors are
drinking whereas before it was
hard to hold them accountable.
"We notice that a lot of un-
derage drinking leads to Dl' Is.
batteries and people perhaps
not making the best decisions
while under the influence," he
said. "The goal is to educate and
make minors aware that there
are consequences for their ac-
tions if they choose to consume
alcohol. We prefer that they
didn't, but the ones that do, we
prefer they do it in a reasonable
manner."

Developing Scholars Program encourages student growth

Mychal Davis said he
is shaping his college career
so he can serve as a positive
role model in his communi-

"1 feel people in my com-
munity need strong, positive
male role models to push
them forward in life," Davis,
freshman in animal science
and industry, said "I believe
that one day 1 can become
one of these role models"
Davis expressed this de
sire during his speech at the
Developing Scholars Pro-
gram's "Target on Excel-
lence" Colloquium Monday
afternoon in the K-Stale Stu-
dent Union.
During the Colloquium,
six young scholars discussed
their philosophies, attitudes
and paths toward goals and
dreams, While addressing
these topics, the student
panel kept in line with the
Colloquium's theme: "This I
Believe: Why my Education
Matters."

lives, but strong motivation
and hard work lead them to

Devi Bluevan, junior in

story Monday at the Collo-
quium. She said when she
was 17 years old, she joined
the U.S. Navy because she
thought no college would
accept her because of her
mediocre SAT scores. After
serving in the Navy for six
years, she returned to Cali-

Bluevan said she graduated
at the top of her class.
"It was a turn in my life
I discovered that I'm good at
something: teaming languag-
es," Bluevan said. "More im-
portantly, it gave me confi-
dence in everything 1 do"
Now, she said she en
joys serving as a DSP schol-
ar. "I feet extremely grateful
to many people - especially
my mentor - who is showing
me how to become a wiser
person," she said.

City prepares for potential federal transit funds
By Scott Girard
KANSAS STATE COLLEGIAN
Manhattan could re-
ceive a boost in public -trans-
portation development from
the federal government in
the next few years
When c ities record a core
urban population of more
than 50.000 for two straight
years, they are considered a
metropolitan area and are el-
igible to receive funding for
public transit, which is de-
termined by the US. Office
i if Management and Bud-
get. According to www.cen-
sus.gov, Manhattan record-
ed a population of 50,737 in
2006, and that number is ex
peeled to grow in 2007 and
future years.
Though Manhattan is
now over the 50,000 mark.
City Commissioner Bruce
Snead said he does not ex-
pect federal -transit funding
until the completion of the
2010 national census.
Snead said the feder-
al funds for public transit
would be important for de-
veloping a bus system. Man-
hattan has had the demand
for public tran|it for several
years, he said, but has never
had the funding.
Snead said a two-route
fixed bus system was de-
veloped in the early 2000s
to prepare for federal fund-
ing, but was shelved for later
purposes. The routes would
criss-cross at the university
and run through highly pop-
ulated areas and important
commercial areas like down-
town, Aggieville and K- St ate,
Snead also said the plan in-
cluded a Wildcat Shuttle that
would operate on weekends,
much like SafeRide, except
that buses would shuttle pas-
sengers on a fixed route.
He said the city would
use this plan as a framework
on which to build the poten-
tial transit system.
"It was a ready- to -go
plan," Snead said.
"Obviously, we'd need to
change some things, because
there have been changes in
development and growth
over the past few years'*
Jeff Chapman, chairman
of the Social Services Advi-
sory Board, voiced his con-
cern about the need for pub-
lic transit in Manhattan to
the city commission on Feb
12
Chapman said sever-
al studies have shown that
Manhattan and the sur-
rounding area - includ
ing Wamego, Fort Riley and
Junction City - need a stron-
ger public transportation sys-
tem Manhattan, in particu-
lar, has problems with park-
ing space and transporta-
tion access to different parts
of the city This access is im-
portant for care- of- life issues
like transportation to child-
care centers.
Chapman said there is
no guarantee that Man hat
tan will receive federal fund-
ing for public transportation
unless they can prove they
have the need for a system
and show a collaborative ef-
fort to sustain a system
"What I said at the com-
mission was, 'Look, we're
two years out, and let's start
working on this,"' Chapman
said
Chapman suggested that
the city needs to organize a
task force or organization
that will study the need and
possible demographics and
budgeting of a transit system
He said transportation in the

Chapman said Most of the

request only or serve a cer-

ed
Snead said he did not
know when the city commis-
sion would address the issue
of public transit, but he said
they had at least two or three
years to prepare for the sys
tern.
"It is an important issue
for us to address in a time-
ly and organized manner,"
Snead said
The system would be
funded by a combination of
federal, state and city fund-
ing as well as by fees admin-
istered to transit users

He said the system not
only would help students
with parking problems, but
also would help people get
around the city. He said oth-
er universities in the Big 12
Conference, like Iowa State
University in Ames and the
University of Texas in Austin,
charge privilege fees for rid
ing transit buses.

be if students could just use
their student IDs to get on a

Commission asks for public input
on South End Redevelopment
By Corene Brisendln*
KANSAS STATE COLLEGIAN
The Manhattan City Council
is asking for public input on the
South End Redevelopment Proj-
ect during an open house starting
at 5 p in tonight at City Hall.
The city commission room
wilt have stations set up display-
ing different parts of the project.
Commissioner Mark Hate-
sohl said the city hopes citizens
will turn out to give the city com-
missioners ideas on bow the city
should develop the half-block
green space within the project
"Our concern is people
don't pay attention until it's fur-
ther down the road," Hatesohl
said "Then it's too late because
contracts are already signed."
Hatesohl said the council
has several ideas, but no definite
idea of what the majority of the
city wants. The council has dis-
cussed installing a platform at
one end of the half-block green
space, creating a lowered grass
space for an ice ring during the
winter months or an open air pa-
vilion to be used as a fanner's
market on weekends during the
growing season
City representatives will
be at the open house to answer
questions about the Discovery
Center and conference center
Dial Reality, the main devel-
opers of the entire project, will
be there to answer questions on
the hotel planned for the project
Once completed. Dial will run
the hotel and conference center
for the city
The commission also would
like input on a K State t homed
restaurant next to the hotel H ale
sohl said the restaurant would be
K-Stale sports oriented similar to
the way a Hard Rock Cafe is mu-
sic orientated
One station will have rep
resentatives from Warren The-
atres to answer questions about
the movie theater Warren plans
on building
Hatesohl said the entire
project will take about two years
The city must first fix the w;iur
drainage problems in the down-
town area. Next, the city must
determine the exact placement oi
the buildings Finally, the build-
ing can begin Hatesohl said the
hotel will take about otic mi I
half years to build
lusl come down .mil look
at the basic idea and let us know
how |the city commission) can
make [the South End Kedevel
opmenl) better," Hatesohl said

Kosovo faces challenges after separating from Serbia

as ils statehood was final-

In fact just about everything
in Kosovo - ils history, new
flag, forthcoming constitution
and status as the world's new
est independent nation - is
the result of years of multilat-
eral involvement
The people of Kosovo
have known little self- rule in
the last half -millennium. Controlled by the Otto-
mans for centuries and considered a province of
Yugoslavia - later Serbia - since 1912. the As
JOE
VOSSIN
sembly of Kosovo unilaterally declared ib'inde
pendence from Serbia on Feb 17
Now Kosovo faces its next challenge:
Achieving the recognition of the internation-
al community Some nations quickly welcomed
Kosovo to the world stage; others - like Rus-
sia and China - are sympathetic to Serbia and
labeled Kosovo as a rogue province. It came as
no surprise when the United States became one
of the first nations - along with the European
Union - to formally recognize Kosovo as a sov-
ereign and independent state
"Nine years ago. the international commu-
nity - led by NATO - acted to end brutal at-
tacks on the Kosovar Albanian population,
said Secretary of State Condoleeiza Rice in a
statement on the day Kosovo declared ils inde-
pendence. "This timely international interven-
tion ended the violence, leading to a United Na-
tions Security Council decision to suspend | Ser-
bia's] governance. In light of the conflicts of the
1990s, independence is the only viable option to
promote stability in the region."
The long road to independence has been
bloody The horrors of the 1999 Kosovo War,
led by Serbian leader Slobodan Milosevic
against the ethnic Albanians of Kosovo, still lin-
ger in the minds of Kosovars According to the
2007 CIA Factbook. 92 percent of the popula
lion of Kosovo is considered Albanian (90 per
cent of whom arc Muslim)
A 2000 United Nations study reported that
half of the Albanian population was forced to
flee Kosovo during the war in 1999. Thousands
more died. Many Albanians cite the tragedies of
the Kosovo War - and their history of subjuga
lion at die hands of so many people through his-
tory - as reason enough for their independence.
The idea that Kosovo and its majority Al-
banian population is entitled to independence is
exactly what infuriates Serbia, China and Russia.
If Kosovo is allowed to go. they say, every ethnic-
population in the world looking for its own in
dependent nation is given the green light to do
so. Eastern Europe and Asia have formed their
own domino theory of the 21st century; it is tile
uncontrollable spread of democracy and auton
omy - not communism - that frighten them and
encourage us.
The success of Kosovo affects U.S. foreign
relations Kosovo is the Taiwan of Europe, a hot
political issue tiiat has the world's biggest pow-
ers lined up on opposite sides of the fence. It
is unclear what steps Belgrade, Hong Kong or
Moscow will take in the near future, as they ar-
gue against autonomy and in favor of the ab-
solute power a nation holds over its subjects —
the idea their regimes are built around and on
which their futures depend.
A Feb 22 article in The New York Times
reported that 1,000 Serbian demonstrators at-
tacked the U.S. embassy in Belgrade. Serbia's
capital, forcing their way into the building and
lighting several fires. The incident was sparked
by protests of Kosovar independence ll serves
as a reminder that the transition from province
to free nation is far from over.
Though it appears Kosovo's history as an
independent state is just beginning, the long
struggle to maintain peace in the Balkans and
between the world powers continues.

However, there are flaws
in every case The inappropn

that cannot be ignored. And
no. I'm not going lo mention
the "Don't lase me. bro" video
on YouTUbe.com.
Far from thai
The Minneapolis/St. Paul
StarTribune reported Jan
IK the grim story of Mark C
Backlund, resident of IthI
ley, Minn , who died follow-
ing a tasing from police after
being involved in a rush-hour
crash. Reportedly. Backlund
was being "uncooperative." in
which case the police tased
him Backlund was rushed to a
hospital, where he later died of
heart failure Details of the in-
cident were not released, but
the fact remains thai Backlund
became another statistic in the
growing taser-related death
count.
According to a report
by Amnesty International re-
leased lo the Department of
lust ice in September 2007.
Inn are responsible for an
estimated 300 deaths since
2001 Of these 100 deaths,
only 25 of the victims were
armed Furthermore, the re
port introduces the chilling
idea of possible abuse of pow-
er.
"We have document-
ed disturbing instances where
we believe that taser use has
amounted to cruel, inhuman
or degrading treatment which
is absolutely prohibited under
international law," according
to the report
I don't personally con-
demn the use of tasers. But.
as always, there are examples
thai back the notion Amnesty
is trying to push And it's when
you hear reports like these that
you must question whether
any of these are acts of self-de-
fense.
On March 3, 2005. the
Florida Times Union ran an
article describing how police
reportedly tased a young Jack-
sonville girl after apprehending
her for arguing with her moth-
er. After she slid out of her
cuffs and resisted the police, a
taser was used to stun the girl.
She was only 13 years old.
However, that case is not
even the tip of the iceberg. *
On Sept 19, 2007, the Or-
lando News reported that po-
lice were called to the home
of a Clay County. Fla . resident
in response to a family distur-
bance. There, the police found
56-year-old Emily Del afield, a
mentally handicapped wom-
an, armed uilh a hammer and
two knives She was bound to
a wheelchair, and according to
a family attorney. Rick Alexan-
der. They tased her 10 times
for a period of. like, two
minutes" Delaheld died
shortly after.
A 13-year-old girl and
a mentally handicapped
woman bound to a wheel
chair - the last people who
should be victimized by
such a weapon
It's true that police
forces have come a long (/'
way in making law en- J.,

Having 300 deaths
caused by tasers
since 2001 isn't en-
tirely apocalyptic.
But when there
are stories like the
few mentioned above oc-
curring on a continual ba-
sis, one should look into
the use of these weapons
in the hopes of rinding a
key to truly making them
less lethal.

Beasley breaks Boozer's record, Wildcats still can't beat Horns
By Wendy Haun
KANSAS STATS COI.UGIAN
Freshman forward Michael
Beasley set a new K- St ate record,
but the Wildcats could not over-
come a Texas squad that shut 55
percent from the floor in the sec-
ond half K State lost to the No
5 Longhorns, 74-65, Monday at
Bramlage Coliseum
"They've been playing bet-
ter than any team in the eoun-
try," Beasley said "They're a good
team. They defend They have a
whole army We played our hearts
out, but we couldn't come up with
a win."
Beasley's 11th 30-poinl per-
formance broke Bob Boozer's ca-
recr record of ten. Beasley also
nabbed 15 boards, which is his
24th double- double, one shy of
Kansas' Drew Guodens Big 12
record. Beasley said despite the
records, he couldn't be happy
with a loss
"I'm heartbroken. I'm down,"
he said. "We put our hearts on the
line. We gave it our all "
Texas {24 4, 112 Big 12
Conference) quickly jumped out
to a 6-2 lead, with four of tho««
points coming from sophomore
guard ll| Augustin K -State bat-
tled back, eventually taking the
lead with 2:02 left in the first peri-
od on a layup by freshman guard
lacob Pullen. K-State and Texas
finished (he period tied with 30
points apiece.
K Stale (18 9, 8-5 Big 12)
came out in the second half, ex-
tending ils lead to five twice,
first on a layup from Beasley and
then again, on a three -point shot
from Pullen The game was stuck
at 50-50 for almost two minutes
until Texas' junior forward Con-
nor Atchley tipped the ball in
for Texas to break the tie. Atch-
ley's basket sparked a 7-0 Texas
run capped off by a three-point
play by Augustin. Texas never re-
linquished the lead, only letting
K-State get as close as three, fol-
lowing a free throw by Beasley at
the 5:45 mark
"[Texas] didn't get discour-
aged.'' coach Frank Martin said
"Abrams finally got some looks 1
think where the game cost us was
we stopped rebounding the ball
on the defensive end. They got
some put-backs and that took the
wind out of our sails"
Pullen was K- State's second
highest scorer, notching 19 points
and a team -high four assists Ju
nior forward Andre Gilbert also
had six points for the Wildcats,
and also five rebounds K State
only shot 32 percent from the
floor for the entire game, includ-
ing 25 percent from beyond the
arc. Even with the loss, Martin
said he refused to let the guys get
down on themselves.
"I couldn't be prouder of a
basketball team than I am of our
guys." he said "I just told them in

Sampson's NCAA violation
similar to MLB steriods issue
JOEL
JELLISON
After what has taken place
with former Indiana basketball
coach Kelvin Sampson over
the past
week and
his contract
buyout be
cause of a
violation
of NCAA
rules,
I have
reached my
own con-
clusion.
lmpcr
missible
calls - the
major vio-
lation the
NCAA has charged Sampson
with - must be similar to the
apparent competitive edge Ma-
jor League Baseball is dealing
with in terms of steroids
Sampson's short stay al
Indiana started with an an-
nouncement of violations
shortly after he accepted the
position The NCAA initially
found Sampson made 577 im
permissible calls between 2000
and 2004 when he was the
coach at Oklahoma. Sampson
was punished with recruiting
restrictions
In the most recent find
ings through an investigation
by Indiana, it was reported that
Sampson made more than 100
additional impermissible calls,
including ten three-way calls:
another violation.
For those reasons, Samp-
son is no longer the coach at
Indiana, and he is in the middle
of a controversy as potentially
serious as the steroids crisis is
for baseball.
The question of how many
calls a coach should be able to
make and whether text messag-
es should be allowed between
coaches and players is not a
new one.
There is no doubt in my
mind lhat a coach gains some
sort of competitive advan-
tage when he has extra com
munication with a recruit. Af-
ter all. communication between
coaches and players is one of
the bigger factors involved in
recruiting.
If the violation Sampson
had lo talking on the phone is
anywhere comparable to what
Barry Bonds allegedly had to
steroids, then you have to be-
lieve it is a wide-scale problem
and, like the baseball players
who were discovered lo be us-
ers prior to Ihe Mitchell Report,
only a few have been caught
From what we know in the
findings from investigations al
Oklahoma and Indiana, Samp-
son likes lo talk lo his recruits
as much as the stereotypical
middle school aged child
Unfortunately, scientists
have yet to develop any tests to
determine which of the phone
related violations coaches DV
guilty of Any coach can get
a private line and make extra
calls al his own expense. If you
had ihe right phone and the
right plan, you could even save
money on long calls to

Walker, K-State struggle to make shots from beyond arc
By Joel Jellison
KANSAS MAI I UUU-.l.lAN
For whatever reason,
K-State just couldn't get
shots lo fall Monday against
falM
Freshman forward Bill
Walker came out the biggest
victim of the shooting woes,
and Ihe Wildcats fell 74-65
to the Longhorns at Bram-
lage Coliseum
The Wildcats shot a sea-
sun low |2.0 percent from
the field. The previous worst
of the season was Feb. 9
when K- Stale shot 38.7 per-
ceni in a 82-61 win over
Oklahoma Stale.
"ITexasj just stayed the
course and we missed some
|chip shots)," K State coach
Frank Martin said.
For Martin, the biggest
difference in the game -
in terms of shooting - was
from the three point range.
The Wildcats were 7-of-27
from long range.
"We played just as
hard when we played KU
| at home]," Martin said.
'What's the difference? We
made three-poiniers, KU
missed Tonight, they made
theirs iind we missed ours."
Walker, the Wildcats'
second-leading scorer, aver-
aging 16 8 points per game,
finished the contest with
one point
The freshman was
O-for-4 from three -point
range, where he is the team
leader in Big 12 Conference
play with 18 three-pointers
made, and for- 14 overall.
Texas sophomore guard DJ
Augustin attributed Walk
er's night to the Longhom
team's defense and called it
"one of those games in bas-
ketball''
"Bill: he's a great player,
he just had a rough night,"
Augustin said. "That hap
pens in basketball ."
The Wildcats managed
to gel a 19-point perfor
mance from freshman guard
Jacob Pullen in the absence
of Walker's usual points.
Martin wasn't disap-
pointed in Walker's game.
As he pointed out, it was
nothing new for the Tex-
as defense to stop a quality
player.
"He tried his heart out.
Bill played as hard as he
could play," he said. "Bill de-
fended, he went after balls.
Give Texas some credit.
They did the same thing to
Kevin Love at UCLA and
Love - last time 1 checked -
is a pretty good player."
The Wildcats' 25 9 per-
cent shooting from behind
the three-point line was no-
where near their season
low, but Texas shot 10-for
22 from long range includ-
ing a stretch of three straight
three-point baskets to take a
50-47 lead with 1 1 46 left in
the game Ultimately, those
nine points were the differ-
ence in the final score
Texas shot well from
the field, finishing the game
shooting 47.4 percent, in-
cluding 55.2 percent in the
second half.
Other than the Oklaho
ma State game, it was the
first time K-State shot under

PEOPLE IN THE NEIGHBORHOOD
UPC director shares joys, frustrations of planning events, helping students
By Sarah Burford
kAKSA"- S1AI F. COLLtGlAN
Union Program Coun-
cil Director Ben Hopper has
worked at K State for about
four years, and he said he
loves working with college
students and helping them
reach their planning goals.
How would you describe
your Job?
My title is "program ad-
viser." and 1 get to work with
20 student leaders on campus
who plan about 180 events a
year. I advise three of the eight
committees that the (Union
Program Council] has, and I
work with all of the students
with everything from booking
the talents, working out the
details, decorations, things for
the events, promotions. Real-
ly whatever the students want
to do, I just help them make it
happen, tf they want to bring
a famous comedian, actor, a
band, I help them put that vi-
sion together and advise them
to make it happen.
Do students have to interview
to be leaders with UPC?
Yes. the deadline is ac-
tually coming up in March.
We're constantly recruiting
people to get involved. We
have about 20 to 40 commit
tee members, and it's been a
steady increase We meet ev-
ery other Tuesday night at 5:30
in Union Station, and there's
always free food at the meet-
ings We have eight commit-
tees that have two co-chairs
each, excepl After Hours has
three co-chairs We have 20
people on our executive coun-
cil
What have been some of the
most exciting events that
you've planned with U PC?
Over the past four years,
we've had so many events, it's
hard to say one is my favorite.
They've all been successful
The Union Expo and activ-
ities carnivals in the fall and
the Wildcat Warm-ups in the
spring - those have always
been fun. But people remem-
ber the Will Pencils, the Ice
Ts. There's no reason why any
event we do can't be memo-
rable, so I encourage the stu-
dents to make the events
more than just events. Like
we showed "The Phantom of
the Opera" and made the lob-
by look like the Paris opera
house and made a chandelier
Any event that we do could be
an awesome, special event.
How did the idea for After
Hours come about?
It started out as "Hirst Fri-
days" in 2000 or 200 1 A lot of
campuses and student unions
were trying to provide alterna-
tives to Friday nights to pro-
vide safe, substance -free en-
tertainment, crafts, food, ac-
tivities It got special funding
from the student government
It proved successful, so it's
now every Friday night. We
do everything from hypno-
tists to grocery bingo. A Wisi
em night is coming up; we
did Mission Improvable last
week. After Hours is funded
by privilege fees that students
pay with tuition. Our students
are good stewards of the mon-
ey. We conduct surveys con-
stantly and find out what peo-
ple want We try to bring a di
versity of activities.
What is one of your favorite
aspects of your position?
Having an opportunity to
work with the students. We've
had some amazing students in
the last four years. I've kept
in touch with basically all of
them It keeps me going. It's
what 1 want to do for a ca-
reer - work with college-aged
students It's a unique time in
their lives, and it's refreshing
lo work with some of K-State's
brightest, creative leaders.
What is one of the hardest
aspects of your job?
Working with the stu-
dents Our leaders are so in-
volved and busy on cam
pus lis hard to organize the
things that we do with the
students They do five of-
fice hours a week, but it's al-
ways more than that because
we do so many events. It's a
challenge working with their
class schedules. We went
shopping for K State Idol last
night, and it was hard find-
ing a chunk of time lo run by
Hobby Lobby There are also
so many cool things out there
to pick from - entertainers,
musicians - it's just a chal-
lenge to see what would be
a good fit at K- Stale. Some
times we bring in the Will
Ferrells that do well, and
sometimes we bring in co
medians that don't do well,
MjttCaitro | i oil H.IAN
Ban Hopper. Union Program Council director, has been working at K-State for about four years. His Job
includes advising committees, working with student leaders and planning events
bul if the students have had a
good experience, then it was
worth it.
Where are you from?
I'm originally from Leon-
ardville, Kan. It's the home
of Merlin Potts, the world
champion horseshoe pitch-
er. It's about 30 miles from
Manhattan. I graduated from
K Slate in agricultural com
munications and journalism,
with a minor in political sci-
ence and agricultural ecu
nomics. I worked as a lob
byist and came hack and am
in graduate school in college
personnel and education be-
cause ihis is what I want to
do for the rest of my life is
work in higher education
What are some long-term
goals you have for I PC?
Some goals for UPC ire
lo maintain the quantity and
quality of programs we do,
which is a challenge because
the cost of programs keeps go
ing up Keeping the quality of
students we have, partnering
more with other organizations
on campus

Cox's outside donations
add up to exactly $800. so if
Ihe appeal is successful. Cox
might be disqualified for ac
cepting too much money in
donations.
Cox said the cheaper-
th an normal T-shirt prie
es were Listed after a price
match with another T-shirt
company in Wamego, Kan.
He explained the discount
would have been available
to any member of the public
and was nol a personal dis-
count, so it did nol need to be
lilted
Glazier argued for the
complaint. Glazier said he
bought a domain name from

X^laflin J}ooki and (p/tft
www.godaddy.com . but he re-
ceived it fur a cheaper price
as a promotion available to
any member of the public
Glazier said Eakin re
quired him to list the dis-
count on his expense report
as a donation and said the
situation is similar lo Cox's.
Cox's shirts cost about
$4.30 per shirt, while Peeie's
cost around $3.23 per shirt
before her recorded dis-
count.
Eakin explained Peele
bought plain shirts for cheap
and had them printed, while
Cox went to just one source
for his shirts, which is why
Peeie's shirts were cheaper.
A decision on Glazier's
appeal will be made some
time today.

TV Show
offers
viewers
relateable
anecdotes
"quarterlife"
R**i*w by Adrlinn* DtWt*u
Every now and then, a
TV show comes along that
makes its audience members
think about their own lives
because they relate so well
with its characters' intimate
anecdotes.
"quarterlife," which fea-
tures six 25 year-olds mak-
ing the transition from post-
college graduation into the
notorious real world in Chi-
cago, is an example of such a
TV show
The show debuted in
November 2007 as an In-
ternet series at MySpaceTV.
com, but NBC will air "quar-
terlife" as an hour-long dra-
ma series starting at 9 to-
night. After the premiere,
"quarterlife" will move to a
regular time slot al 8 p.m
Sundays starting March 2.
Viewers might initial-
ly think, "Wait. Haven't we
already seen this show'
Didn't it run for 10 years on
NBC, and wasn't it called
"Friends'?"
The plot lines and char-
acters might parallel certain
elements of "Friends," but
"quarterlife" contains quirk-
iness and technological ad
vancements lor the 21st cen-
tury.
Take, for example, the
show's main character, Dy-
lan Krieger (Bitsie Tulloch)
Krieger is an associate edi-
tor at a woman's magazine
called "Attitude" where oth-
er people often take cred-
it for her innovative ideas
She's a writer who voices
her life and its daily happen-
ings through a video blog at
(juarterlife.com
Krieger's best friend.
Debra Locatelli (Michelle
Lombardo), is the stereo -
typical "pretty friend" who
works al her father's appli-
ance store and suffers from
anxiety problems after a
breakup with the love of her
life, Danny Franklin (David
Walton).
The show also has made
TV network history "quar-
terlife" is the first Internet
series to make the transition
to traditional network TV.
Members of the actual "quar-
terlife" Web site also have
the opportunity to have their
music, photographs and vid-
eos incorporated as a char-
acter on the show, making it
the first user generated TV
show in history
"quarterlife " is the brain-
child of Marshall Hersk
ovitz and Edward Zwick,
who also developed "My So-
Called Life," "thirtysome
thing,'' "Legends of the Fall"
and "Blood Diamond."
The Internet version
of "quarterlife" includes
26, eight minute episodes
with two new episodes each
week
NBC formatted the
show into an hour-long dra-
ma that will continue for five
weeks.
The show also has an
accompanying social net-
work with "a community for
artists, thinkers and doers"
Viewers can read the char
acters' blogs and interests
on the site: it's like spend-
ing close and personal "Web
time" with fictional TV char
acters.
"quarterlife" offers col-
lege students a glimpse into
the crystal ball of their fu
lures Its characters are hu-
morous, warmhearted and
yet they remain realistic and
personable
The plot lines feature
scenarios as messy as real
life without embedded "re-
ality TV" drama, but at the
end of the day, the charac-
ters just laugh it off with a
drink at the bars with their
friends

JACQUT
HAAG
There are some occa-
sions when boredom turns
inlo creativity.
For most of win-
ter break, 1 was
stuck working
in Manhattan,
spending several
afternoons alone
in my apartment
- and Facebook.
com could en-
tertain me for
only so long.
On one
such occa-
sion, I was pull
ing clothes, shoes and ac-
cessories from my closet
when I realized one pair
of well- loved shoes proba-
bly shouldn't be worn any
longer These bright pink
Mary |ane flats with pink
bows were too scuffed to
make any more public ap-
pearances.
In some cases, 1 could
go out and buy a touch -up
paint made just for shoes,
but I knew I would be
hard-pressed to find any
in hot pink. So 1 sat on the
floor holding one of the
shoes and pondering. Then
I had a bright idea
I decided to use shoe
paint to make the shoes
white, and then use per-
manent markers to graffi-
ti all over them The shoe
pain! applicator was ac-
tually a little sponge, so it
created a certain effect on
the shoes, and I let a little
pink show through. I even
left the bows pink.
When the paint was
dry, 1 used the brightly col-
ored markers to draw lit-
tle hearts, stars, musical
notes, squigglies and oth-
er girly designs all over the
shoes To fill in some emp-
ty spaces, 1 wrote words
that meant a lot to me in
bright colors.
I realized these "new"
shoes were bright
and quirky, which
are qualities 1
sometimes think I
possess
The biggest sur-
prise for me was
the number of
comments 1 got on
the shoes and peo-
ple asking where I
got them.
Ever since I dis-
covered how fun
it was to go Mar
tha Stewart all over my
shoes, I have been wishing
I had a few more scuffed
up pairs All kinds of new
ideas - some good and
some bad - have been rac
ing through my mind.
A friend of mine
has hot glued buttons on
shoes, and this could be
especially good for cover-
ing up some minor flaws
and adding flair to an old
pair. Since I've been on my
shoe-makeover craze, I've
actually been looking for
a pair of shoes that would
look cute with some ran-
dom buttons.
And honestly, the
possibilities are endless.
Vou don't have to stick to
markers and buttons. With
a little glue, ribbons can
jazz up a pair of old shoes,
or to bring out the inner
diva, use glitter or some
well -placed rhinestones.
Look around your
room or wander through a
craft store I'm sure you'll
find something special you
can plaster all over a shoe
to spice it up
My latest effort was to
decoupage a shoe. I chose
a black, pointed-toe sling-
back, and 1 wanted to put
newsprint on it.
TIPS FOR TOUCHING UP 010 SH0I $:
-Try something on Just a srtwfl area, if it doevnt word, you
can try to cover It up or camouflage * with something
rise.
-Think pr actually. Wilt this process make the shoe un-
comfortable? Will this decoration be «©** to handle a lot
of walking ot extreme we*ttwr>
-Protect your artsy shoes wtth a water -i epetten t spray
so the paint doesn't rub off or mm doesnt rukt your
1 really don't have
much experience with de-
coupage. but I like to be
adventurous. I bought
some decoupage glue, cut
up a newspaper and went
to work
Along with my inex-
perience using decoupage,
I wasn't even sure one
could decoupage a shoe or
what steps 1 should be tak-
ing. This really was a com
plete experiment.
But I followed the di-
rections, and I ended up
with something I'm fairly
excited about, but I'll ad-
mit - it's the nerdy jour-
nalist in me You don't
have to use newsprint;
magazine pages would
make one shoe like a col-
orful collage
The idea is to be in-
ventive Step outside the
(shoe) box and find some-
thing to decorate with
That's when you'll have
a one-of-a-kind shoe that
can really express you
In addition to using
your creativity, the key is
to not worry if it doesn't
work You have an old
pair of shoes that you're
going to throw out any-
way So spend a few bucks
and an hour trying some
thing new, and if it doesn't
work, you're probably not
too far behind - in your
budget or your schedule.

MUSIC REVIEW
New York group creates mature, cohesive debut album
W AII Hour Cymbals"
••••a
R*vi»w by Mirk Sibil 1 1
Brooklyn, NY, has
birthed countless influential
in die -rock bands during the
first part of the 21st centu-
ry Each has had a knack for
combining pop music aes-
thetics with surreal and trib-
al styles that give the music
a distinct otherworldly feel
Bands like TV on the Ra-
dio, Animal Collective and
Grizzly Bear are some of the
most prominent of this new
wave of musical pioneers.
This winter, a much-
hyped quartet emerged from
the New York suburbs com-
bining Western pop struc-
tures with world-music
rhythms and adventurous in-
strumentation The band is
Yeas ay er, and its debut al-
bum, "All Hour Cymbals" is
strong enough to suggest that
the band easily could join the
ranks of its contemporaries
in experimental rock
On paper, "All Hour
Cymbals" seems like it would
be a terrible album, a jum
bled mess of odd rhythms
and Beach Boys harmo-
nies set to a soundtrack of si
tars, accordions, steel drums,
children's choirs and what-
ever else the band feels like
throwing into the mix. But
what makes the album tru-
ly special is how the mem-
bers of Yeasayer are able to
reign in all the disparate el-
ements and create an album
that is weird and wild, yet
sounds entirely grounded in
this world.
"Sunrise" opens the al-
bum by combining soul vo-
cals of the 1960s with hand-
claps and an austere piano
tine The track is slowly tak-
en over by droning synthe-
sizers and thundering drums
as lead singer Chris Keating
sings about lyrics that minor
the mythological tale of Icar-
us
"As the trees grew high-
er and higher/And the fish
began to fly/1 went and stole
some wings and thought.
'Why can't 1?'"
Yeasayer makes music
that sounds like there is no
difference between Eastern
and Western musical ideolo-
gies. Everything is fair game
on "All Hour Cymbals."
"Wait for the Summer"
is a ritualistic rave- up that
sounds like a combination of
a gypsy folk dance and bom-
bastic Middle Eastern harmo-
nies courtesy of a lively sitar
Many of the tracks on
"All Hour Cymbals" deal
with coming to terms with or
making peace with unexpect-
ed events in life.
Single "2080" was
passed around ilunes and
MySpacecom like a hipster
hot potato. It was one of the
singles to name drop during
the last months of 2007 and
the beginning of 2008.
The track begins some-
what forebodingly with the
lyrics, "I cant sleep when 1
think about the times we're
living in /I can't sleep when I
think about the future 1 was
bom into." But following two
choruses, the song shifts as
the band breaks down in to a
series of "Yeah Yeah Yeahs"
that give the song a more up-
lifting feel that ends the track
with a children's choir and
communal chanting.
The subject of "Forgive-
ness" is fairly easy to discern,
but it is the song's interest-
ing time changes and shifting
melodies that makes it truly
interesting.
And then there is the
aesthetic opposite of "Wait
for the Summer" appropriate-
ly titled "Wait for the Winter-
time." Where the farmer track
was lithe and joyous, the lat-
ter track chugs along on a
sludgy Black Sabbath -like
riff over which disembodied
shouts and aggressive chant-
ing propel the song through-
out its five-minute run time.
Despite all the musi-
cal detours explored on "All
Hour Cymbals," Yeasayer is a
talented -enough young band
that it is able to combine
seemingly disparate styles
into a mature and highly co-
hesive debut. Yeasayer should
be proud to be considered
among one of New York's
finest new bands of the year.

Becoming an Idol'
Judges from the K-State community added color-
ful commentary to their performance critiques at
Tuesday's K-State Idol competition.
K-State students
compete to earn
top performance
By Jenna Scavuxzo
KANSAS STATE COLLEGIAN
Talent, confidence and animation res-
onated from K State students' vocal perfor-
mances as they brought a collegiate version
of American Idol' to life Tuesday night.
K-Stale and the Union Program Council
sponsored its 4th annual K State Idol Band-
stand at 7 p.m. in Forum Hall. Ten students
performed renditions of modern and clas-
sic songs or their own composed pieces and
competed for the recognition as "K- Stale's
Most Talented Performer" by the handstand's
judges.
Lindsay Ibarra, freshman in public rela-
tions, was the winner of the competition and
received a $300 prize. Ibarra sang "Someone
to Watch Over Me," originally performed by
George Gershwin, a famous classical com-
poser
Ibarra said she was shocked she received
first place and was nervous before she per-
formed because she had been ill.
"I just auditioned as something to do for
fun," Ibarra said "I've never done it before.
Performing in front of the crowd was such
a rush - I just looked out to the crowd and
sang, and it went by really fast. When the em-
cees announced the winners, I was complete-
ly and genuinely surprised."
Donnie Hampton, sophomore in man-
agement and UPC's music chairman, said he
was pleased with the judge's decision
"Lindsay's very original." Hampton said
"She brought life to an older song, and 1 think
the judges and crowd really enjoyed that. She
was very confident and had great vocal per-
formance."
Deborah Muhwezi and Jasmine Ham-
mond, junior and freshman in journalism
and mass communications, respectively, sang
a duet to the hymn, "I'll Fly Away" and won
second place, along with $200 in prize mon-
ey.
Tiffany Henry, junior in elementary edu-
cation, and Marissa Shepherd, senior in ap-
parel and textiles, sang a rendition of "With a
Little Help From My Friends," originally per-
formed by The Beatles They were awarded
third place and received $100.
The K-State Cadence singers opened and
concluded the 'SOs-lhemed bandstand, and
the show's judges spoke to the singers after
they concluded their performances

'With a Little Help From My Friends'
Pulitzer Prize-winning journalist advises student reporters to dig deeper for stories
Jonathan Knight | OOUJtGUN
MSNBC investigative reporter Bill Dedman speaks to participants Tuesday in Kedzie 220. Dedman spent Monday
and Tuesday speaking to journalism students about different ways to organize and improve their reporting
By David L Griffin
KANSAS STATE C0LLEC1AN
It's time journalists get
out of the press box and into
the stands because observa-
tion is the key to reporting, a
Pulitzer Prize winning jour
nalist told K-State students
this week
Bill Dedman, investi-
gative reporter for MSN
BCcom, spent Monday and
Tuesday presenting work-
shops to K-State journalism
students.
The overarching theme
for the sessions, which were
sponsored by the Tilford
Group, was "Internet
Strategies for a Global Soci-
ety"
Dedman said he works
toward positive development
of writers by giving them ad-
vice about how to better their
writing and reporting skills
For example, he said
sports reporters sit in the
press box while team officials
provide statistics and quotes
that every other reporter will
have, even those not in the
press box.
"Their stories have no
color - they hit the ground
hard," Dedman said during a
lecture tilled "Writing Clear-
ly by Reporting Clearly."
journalists need to make
their stories more than just
black and white, he said
Some stories are more
complicated, and thorough
reporting might lead report-
ers to conclusions that ex-
plain how processes actually
work
Reporters have no prob
lem telling statistics and what
they know, but they don't like
giving away what they don't
know, he said, because, "We
might give others an idea of
what we're going to write
about tomorrow"
Kim Baltrip, assistant
professor of journalism and
mass communications and
Collegian adviser, said Ded
man's presentation to stu-
dents was informative and
useful because he challenges
his listeners to use different
media outlets
"1 do believe that too of
ten, students don't dig deep
enough to add substance to
their story" Baltrip said.
Dedman explained that
journalists must separate
themselves to truly get an
"amazing" story
He spoke about a Wall
Street journal reporter who
consistently got the wrong
phone number when call-
ing 411 for directory assis
tance and then conducted
an experiment that in-
volved more than 250 phone
calls and multiple wrong
numbers
"It's the observation and
doing something different
that makes the stories spe-
cial." Dedman said

Commissioners hope to see park extensions,
fewer parking lots in south redevelopment
By Corent Brisendin*
KANSAS STATE COLLEUIAN
Members of the coun-
cil and citizens voiced their
disapproval of the latest de-
signs in the south down
town redevelopment proj-
ect during the City Commis
sion work session and open
house Tuesday night
"Wow. it's big," com-
missioner Bruce Snead said
of the project "And by big,
I mean the theater and the
parking lots that go with it."
Patrick Schaub, princi-
pal for Bowman Bowman
Novick Inc.. the architec-
tural firm overseeing the
south end redevelopment,
presented three overall con-
ceptual designs display-
ing the proposed layout of
the south-end development
project.
The project includes a
hotel and community cen-
ter, a park, a discovery cen-
ter, retail and mixed de-
velopment buildings and a
movie theater.
Schaub said citizens in
attendance voiced three im-
portant themes. First, he
said the proposed down
town public park, which
would be less than one
square mile, continues to
diminish and parking lots
continue to take its place.
Along with the park, (he
original designs included
a pavilion, which was also
taken out in the latest de-
sign to allow for more park-
ing.
"We are losing the
town-square feel to a park-
ing lot," said Brennan Wal-
ter, a Manhattan citizen
Second, Schaub said
more sidewalk and trail
connections between the
discovery center, train de-
pot and park need to be in-
stalled.
Senate reviews
proposed increases
to privilege fees

As drawings illustrate,
the only path leading to and
from the depot is via the dis-
covery center
"I don't like your new-
est iterations," said commis-
sioner Mark Halesohl. "We
need less parking and more
stuff"
Third, Schaub said cit-
izens in attendance did not
want to see the backside of
the buildings facing Fourth
Street and did not want to
see loading docks associ
ated with the backs of the
buildings
Tom Roberts, who was
representing the Manhattan
Historic Resources Board,
said the downtown devel-
opment plans need to be re-
viewed by the Board to eval-
uate the development plan's
historical impact on the
community. Roberts also
suggested that an outside
consulhmt be brought in to
help develop the connectiv-
ity between the project and
the historic downtown
City Manager Ron Fehr
answered questions about
the discovery center at the
open house.
Fehr said people dis
cussed the hiring of a muse
urn consultant and concerns
about operational costs of
the building.
Representatives from
three other areas of the proj -
eel, including the proposed
Warren Theatre and Hilton
Gardens Inn, also answered
questions at booths at the
open house.
Commissioner lames
Sherow said he would like
to promote a design cunt cm
of the discovery building
He said the building
should not only serve a
function, but should also be
a work of art
Sherow said he also
wants input from the com
mumty on the design and
layout of the overall devel
opment project
The development
scheme right now is migrat-
ing to negative development
patterns," Sherow said
Hatcsohl said the next
work session on the south -
end development project
will be March 25

K-State Student Senate re-
\ imwd bills that would increase
student privilege fees during its
annual visit to Salina Tuesday
evening
Next week, an increase in
the Recreational Services Oper
at ions Budget Privilege Fee will
undergo a review, which is re-
peated every three years, accord
injj to the agenda.
The I tyi l nH n n will increase
the amount received through
privilege fees by $55,000 during
the next three years The budget
will be renewed again before the
201 1 - 12 academic year.
Despite the steadily increas-
ing cut, K State students pay less
for the fees than universities of
similar population size.
"K State students pay the
lowest fee in the Big 12 for our
services per semester." said Stu-
dent Body President Matt Wag-
ner, senior in management infor-
mation systems.
He said K State also genet
ales more revenue than any oth-
er Big 12 university because Man
hattan residents pay membership
fees to utilize K-Stale's facilities
Senators also reviewed a
bill thai would increase the Rec
rMjtofl Services Repair and Re
placement Reserve privilege fee
by $500 between the 2008-O u
and 2009 10 academic years
The funding will be used to
replace broken equipment, repair
damages and help pay for regu
kir maintenance 11 ic lee will mil
increase the following year, but
will be reviewed again before the
2011-12 academic year. The bill
was held for referral until next
week
Senators voted on two alio
cations, both of which passed 57
0-0, and reviewed eight pieces
of new legislation, five of which
were allocations
K State sports dubs have
also requested an increase of
$2,000 per year fur the next three
years, which would amount 10
$54,000 in the 2011 fiscal year.
according to the agenda. The
funding will be increased in order
to meet the rising costs of travel
for the clubs, if the bill passes.

One Castro, two Castro
KELSEY
CHILDRESS
Raul's differences
from Fidel leave
hope for many
At age 81, Fidel Castro, communist dic-
tator of Cuba, announced on Feb 19 that
he would not seek another term as leader of
the Caribbean nation The
Cuban National Assembly
elected his brother and
former vice president Raul
Castro as Cuban president
five days later.
Kaiil Castro has at
ways been known as the
enforcer of his brother's
policies while serving un-
derneath him in a few dif-
ferent offices He has been
with him since he took
the presidential office in
January 1959.
Fidel made life better
for many of Cuba's poorer residents, but it
didn't come without a price He no longer
held free elections and fired or punished
those who opposed him with violence or
imprisonment He also imprisoned many
homosexuals
The Pink News, the self proclaimed
largest gay news service in Europe, stat-
ed in an article shortly after Fidel's resigna-
tion that "sexual diversity was seen by Fidel
Castro as a corrupt consequence of capital-
ism ... Castro's regime [attempted to| reed
ucate' homosexuals. Gays were incarcerated
in Military Units to Aid Production between
1965 and L96S."
Fidel's intolerance for diversity, along
with his inability at times to properly care
for the impoverished led many Cubans to
flee their country
When Raul temporarily served as pres-
ident while Fidel was hospitalized in 2006,
U.S. citizens speculated what would happen
if he actually did become the president of
Cuba
According to a Time magazine arti-
cle published Aug 1. 2006. Raul has always
been known as "the practical Castro "
The article said if he were to succeed Fi-
del permanently, many Cuba watchers spec-
ulate he would actually bring a less confron-
tational rule to Cuba
"I think he will try lo adopt more of a
China economic model, probably continu-
ing much lit' the harsh political regime but
allowing more private enterprise and loos-
ening foreign investment rules," said a senior
researcher at the University of Miami's Cuba
Christina Forsbero, 1 1 nil H.IAK
Institute and author of the recently pub-
lished book "After Fidel ' "And I think he's
also going lo want better relations and more
dialogue with ihe U.S."
Fidel's extreme policies and radical
Communist government overhauls came at
a price lo the United States, which lost land,
troops and business when attempting to re-
move him from office
The U.S. government has a 44-year-old
economic embargo on Cuban goods coming
into the country and citizens remain hopeful
that relations between Cuba and the United
States will improve now that Fidel is perma-
nently out of office
However, il is important not to forget
that while Fidel is gone, there is still a Cas-
tro in office Though Raul is seen as more
level-minded, he was still his brother's keep-
er for many years and doesn't have many
views that differ from his brother
An article in Time magazine stated that
Raul became a Communist at a young age
and will have to "loosen the leash" on Cu-
ban residents before they begin to support
him. The U.S. government must be just as
cautious as it's always been in the months
ahead as he gets used to his position as the
leader of Cuba.
Raul Castro has much cleaning up and
apologizing to do, and until he does, both
Cubans and Americans will still be against
him

Respect for opposing points of view
essential for effective debate, discourse
Philosopher Francois-Mane Arouet. bet
ter known as Voltaire, said. "I disapprove
of what you say. but I will defend to the
death your right lo say
if
The United States
finds its foundation
in this idea - the idea
that one has the right
to express their opin-
ions no matter what
And it is essentia] that
as a society we uphold
this principle, because
only through the dis-
cussion of ideas will
we find what is best for
our nation
All too often those
who express minority
opinions are shouted down by their oppo-
nents, and the pursuit of solutions through
debate arc replaced by the over-arching
desire to defeat those with whom one dis-
agrees
Rather than debating ideas, there is
an inclination to vilify our opponents -
to attack their character rather than dis-
cuss the merits of their position This ten
dency toward vilification can be seen over
and over again, from the presidential cam-
paign trail to the Collegian Fourum It is a disturb-
ing trend and an affront to the ideals on which our
country is founded
Benjamin R Barber, author of "Jihad vs Vfc
World," said in an interview with the New York
Times that there has always existed "a rhetorical
incivility within ... boundaries, which is a healthy
manifestation of conflict and disagreement "
However. Barber said those boundaries have
eroded and another kind of incivility has emerged
"People yell at each other," he said "They talk
at the same lime. There's almost no listening and no
visible modification of opinion, and there is a vili
fkation of opponents, all of which is taken as ordl
nary discourse"
This surely isn't what the Founding Fathers had
in mind when they intended the Constitution lo en
sure that the citizens of the L nited Stales had the
right to freedom of expression The First Amend-
ment was ratified in order lo ensure the free ex-
change of ideas, and anybody willing to stand up
and debate those ideas deserves more than partem*]

Christina forjborgl' HUH. I *S
Disagreement is one of the building blocks of
democracy - it is only through honest and thorough
debate that progress is made
The eminent 19lh century writer John Stuart
Mill contended that enlightened judgment is pos
sible only if one considers all ideas and tests one's
own conclusions against opposing views. Debate is
essential to the pursuit of truth and progress, but
people must be witling to listen to their opponents
and accept that there is more than one valid solu-
tion to a problem
We live in a pluralist society and it is necessary
that we be able to accept opposing viewpoints Per
sonal attacks and vilification are indicators of weak
ideas and weak minds and are beneath us as a so-
cfcrtj Instead we should engage in thoughtful and
high-minded debate Only then will we be able to
find viable solutions to Ihe problems that we face as
a nation

Entrants should

Two of the most difficult parts
of campaigning in any election are
getting voters to listen to and sup-
purl your message,
and making sure
those voters go to
the polls The four
campaigns running
for Student Gov-
ernment Associa-
tion president and
vice president have
some support from students, [some
more than others] but to make sure
more students go to the polls, these
candidates will have to get specific
While a catchy slogan is advanta-
geous, it doesn't motivate students
who are not personally familiar
with the campaign What students
should be concerned with are the
plans and actions that candidates
will use.
Voter apathy is not uncommon
in the United States, and K-State
is no exception. According to U.S.
Census data from the 2004 elec-
tions, only 64 percent of Americans
ot legal age voted for a presidential
candidate According to the data on
the SGA elections Web site, fewer
than 15 percent of all students vot-
ed in the primary last year, and only
about 25 percent voted in the gen
eral election. If candidates want to
motivate students, they need to ex-
plain why a vote for one candidate
will be more beneficial than a vote
for another
We are sure that all four cam-
paigns have good ideas on how to
improve K-State. but we want to
know how those ideas will become
a concrete plan. Vote at the SGA

K-State graduate reflects on effects of rape to educate other women
By Willow Williamson
HMUSSTATtCOLLfctilAN
Darcy Hamilton said she
never felt com fort able in her
hoUM She always locked ev-
ery door and window and said
she did not like to stay there
alone. At the beginning of fall
2005, Darcy said she thought
someone came into her house,
but she said decided later it
was probably a dream. Two
weeks later, she was raped by
a man the K-State and Man
hattan community have come
to know as the "Manhattan
serial rapist"
SERIAL RAPIST HISTORY
According to a Sept 19,
2007, Collegian article, seven
rapes have been linked to the
ManhttUU) serial rapists since
Oct 1 , 2000 Riley County Po-
lice Department Capl. Tim
Hegarty said Hamilton was
one ol the victims.
In the article, Kristen
Kendrick. then a graduate stu-
dent in sociology, was writ-
ing a thesis on the effects
of the rapisl on the K-State
and Manhattan communi-
ty She said the rapist gener-
al I v attacks his victims, usual-
ly white college -uged females,
early in the morning between
1 .i m and 5 am when they
are alone in their house.
Hamilton, who graduat-
ed with a bachelor's degree in
journalism and mass commu-
nications last fall, experienced
this information first hand
THE YEARS BEFORE
Before she attended
K-State. Hamilton attended
Fort Hays Slate University,
where she played volleyball.
One night, she and her
sister were oul partying I Kim
ilton said she ended up drink
ing too much, and passed out
on the couch Her sister tried
to get her to come home but
couldn't, so she left the party
When Hamilton woke up.
she knew something had hap-
pened to her
"I don't remember any-
thing but when I woke up,"
she said "My underwear was
inside out. I had no clue what
was going on, and 1 asked
[the boys in the house | what
went on and they didn't tell
me what went on I had shorts
on, and I was trying to find my
clothes''
Later, a friend took her
to the hospital because Ham-
ilton was worried after some
people told her she was raped
She had writing on her body,
and later found out people at
the party video-taped what
happened.
Soon after, Hamilton
left FHSU and transferred to
K-State.
THE WEEKS BEFORE
After having been raped
once, Hamilton said she was
fairly nervous. She locked
all the doors and windows at
night and preferred to have
someone with her
After Hamilton thought
she heard somebody in her
house in Manhattan, she
asked her sister if she or her
boyfriend had come home,
but they had not. and her
other roommate was out of
town Hamilton told her fam
ily what had happened, but
they thought she must have
been dreaming
THE NIGHT OF THE ATTACK
For the next two weeks,
Hamilton said she was ner-
vous One night, Hamil-
ton and her boyfriend went
to a late movie. She said be-
fore they left her house they
checked that all of the win-
dows and doors were locked
and looked in all of the
rooms
When they got back from
I he movie at about midnight.
she noticed her washing ma-
chine was dripping, and the
door was a little loose She
said she felt like something
was wrong. She asked her
boyfriend to stay with her.
but he reassured her every
thing would be fine and told
her to call the police if she
felt like something was real-
ly wrong.
After he left, she hid her
phone under a pillow and
went to sleep She woke up
with someone sitting on her
legs so she could not move.
"*t have a gun.' [he said]
and he put it to my head, and
that is basically what hap-
pened,' Hamilton said "And
there was. like, all ol these
times that I could have called
the police, but I didn't"
THE AFTER EFFECTS
Hamilton was raped that
night by the Manhattan se-
rial rapist After he left, she
said she was so distraught she
did not think to call 91 1 right
away. She said she called
about five other people and
her boyfriend was the one
who eventually called the po-
lice.
It took Hamilton a long
time to get past her experi-
ence, and though' it was very
personal, talking to a thera-
pist, the police and the people
at the K-State Women's Cen-
ter was still helpful.
"When something like
that happens, it shakes you to
the core," she said. "You can't
take your mind off it You just
spend time with people you
love and doing things that
you love to do and it kind til
takes your mind off of it "
She said she spent a lot
ol tune writing, painting and
especially exercising, which
she said her family encour-
aged.
"My mom. the hrst thing
in the morning would push
COtntlBT PHOTO

family member She is one ot the victims from Manhattan's serial rapist
me out the door and say 'go
run. go exercise.'"
BEING PROACTIVE
As she recovered, Ham-
ilton began work to spread
awareness for victims of rape
"The best way to get peo
pie to report a rape is by hear
ing someone else's story," she
said
This is one of the reasons
she contacted the Collegian
for this story.
"I rn not gonna stay in
hiding especially if I know it
can help other people," she
said. ".. I'm just remaining a
victim as long as I kind of stay
hidden ... by taking a stance
and by saying, 'this is what
happened to me' and saying,
'this is not right, you are no
longer being a victim'"

Hard pedalling
Indoor cycling provides workout during winter months
Afler Kansas' unpredictable weather
patterns unleashed another batch of freez
ing temperatures, the last thing you proba
bly want to do is layer on
Under Armour just to get
blown away outside May-
be you were motivated in the
morning when it was 50 de-
grees, but the temperature
has probably dropped 30 de-
grees and snow is beginning
to Mill
There's no need to let
the weather dictate how in-
tense you work out No mat-
ter what your cardio rou
line is. try indoor cycling
this winter and spring. Riding a bike or run-
ning on the road in bad weal her or at night
can be dangerous, but indoor cycling is com-
pletely safe You don't have to worry about
traffic, and you don't have to wear a helmet
Indoor cycling is a group fitness class on
stationary bikes The instructor is there to
encourage you and push you a little farther
than you might push yourself, but not too
far
Indoor cycling is good for people of all
fitness levels There is no impact when you
ride a bike, and you always have the option
of keeping a low resistance level or slowing
down
Runners, you may be lifting your noses
up at the idea of riding a bike, but how many
times can you run around the indoor track
before you gel bored and dizzy? Give your
shins and your minds a break and get on a
bike. You can kick your butt by riding harder
or you can use the class as a recovery work
out for tired muscles.
For those who are afraid of weight-lift-
ing, there is also an indoor cycling class you
can try. The Spinn' Strength class offered at
the Peters Recreation Complex allows you
to integrate strength training with a cardio
workout The strength training exercises are
basic, and you still get a good cardiovascular
workout
However, if you'd rather just ride the
bike for an hour, then Spintacular Ride is the
class for you
Whether you arc trying to lose weight,
improve your endurance or are just plain
bored, indoor cycling has something to of-
fer everyone. You don't have to wear pad-

try a class. Though some people think indoor
cycling is intimidating (a room full of mid-
dle-aged women all wearing spandex. ped-
dling madly and getting nowhere), but that's
really just a stereotype It isn't that bad.
Indoor cycling is fee-based at the rec,
but you'll get your money's worth Make sure
you call ahead and reserve your bike be
cause some classes fill up fast The only way
to know what it's really like is to come try it
out.

WOMEN'S BASKETBALL
Women look to break losing streak
ByJoelJellrson
KANSAS MATE l.Ol .LMG1AN
After suffering through its
second two- game losing streak
of the season. K-Slatc will gel its
chance tonight to find its win-
ning ways again when the Wild-
cats play host to Nebraska at 7
p.m. at Bramlage Coliseum
The last time the Wildcats
entered a game with a losing
streak was Nov. 22, when they
played Michigan State follow
ing losses to Wyoming and Tu
lane. K-Stale lost to the Spartans
before stopping the losing streak
with a win over Lipscomb on
Nov. 30.
The Wildcats have lost their
last two games, 68-65 to Okla-
homa and 73-68 to Colorado,
but K-State coach Deb Patter
son said the challenge has been
losing players to foul trouble
This was evident against Colora-
do, when junior forward Marlies
Gipson fouled out of the game
after playing just 17 minutes and
finishing with six points.
"When you get a player like
Gipson who has to be off the
floor the majority of the game,
it's going (o be very difficult for
us." Patterson said. "It puts a
great deal of pressure on our
basketball team because she is a
big-time player who makes big-
time plays, and down the stretch
of the game you want and need
that on the floor"
In Gipson 's absence, junior
j:uard Shalee Lehning scored 19
points to lead the team in scor-
ing K-State has struggled in re-
cent games when either Gipson
or senior guard Kimbcrly Dietz,
the team's leading scorers, have
scored less than 10 points While
Lehning said she believes nei-
ther player has had a bad game
this season, she called Gipson's
struggles at Colorado just a part
of the game.
"At Colorado. Marlies was a
victim of circumstance," Lehning
said. "Obviously, she was on the
bench in foul trouble and there
wasn't a lot she could do about
it."
Sophomore forward Ash
ley Sweat has also stepped up
for the Wildcats during the los-
ing streak, scoring 15 points
against Colorado and 25 against
Oklahoma. Sweat said the Wild-
cats just needed to improve their
team defense against Colora-
do and improve their team pluy
with substitutions on the floor
"1 think we play as a unit,"
Sweat said. "Whether it is a post
or a guard. I think when a sub
comes in, we just need to come
together more. I think the issue
wasn't so much getting Into faul
trouble, but we needed to play
belter team defense"
The Wildcats will play their
final home game of the season
Saturday when they host Mis-
souri at 2 p.m and will finish the
regular season March 5 al Kan-
sas

Spring
break
with
Sampson
I was sitting at home last
Saturday watching some col-
lege basketball while planning
my spring
break, when
my phone
started ring-
ing.
Now,
this ring
r**l
KELLY
WILLIAMS
lone caught
me a lit-
tle off-guard
because
I had not
heard it in a
while. Car-
rie Underwood's. " Before
He Cheats," - yes, I have
that one - started to blare,
so I grabbed my phone and
checked it out. It made sense
after I saw the name that
popped up. The call was from
my old buddy Kelvin Samp-
son, and my first thought was
that il was good to sec him fi-
nally making legal phone calls
again.
"Kelly, I'm on an extend-
ed vacation with pay," he said.
"How about we take a lit-
tle NCAA Tournament spring
break trip?"
With a $750,000 buyout
check in his pocket, I could
see where he was going with
this one. Being the recent-
ly fired head coach from In-
diana would gel us ions of at-
tention on our travels, and Ihe
amount of great basketball we
could watch from the confer
ence tournaments in March
would be worth it.
Needless to say, I ac-
cepted the gracious offer
from Sampson, and my orig-
inal planning for my spring
break travels changed drasti-
cally. After much deliberation,
Sampson and 1 decided lo
go with the following spring
break basketball itinerary
First up on the docket is
the Big 12 Conference tourna-
ment in Kansas City, Mo Be-
cause of Sampson's ties lo the
Oklahoma Sooners and my
strong allegiance to the Wild-
cats, this was a no-brainer
for our first stop. The basket-
ball at this tournament should
be stellar because of the pari-
ty toward the middle and bot-
tom of Ihe standings and ex-
treme competitiveness at the
lop. Also, with tickets being
hard to find and expensive, it
will be nice for Kelvin to pick
up the bill with some of that
sweet buyout money.
The next stop Sampson
and I agreed on was Oma-
ha for the first two rounds of
the NCAA tournament The
games in this region will most
likely contain Kansas, Wis-
consin and possibly Drake.
Kansas, always a fun team
to root against, should bring
a large crowd and create an
amazing tournament environ-
ment Wisconsin, the front
runners in the Big 10 Confer
ence, will do the same Drake,
if placed in Omaha. Neb .

KANSAS STATE COLLEGIAN
Students display numerous forms of anxiety habits
By Brandon McAtee
KANSAS SI AIM 01 I H.1AN
In anxious moments.
people tend to respond lo
pressure differently. Many
turn lo nervous habits,
wkelher they notice it or
not They bite their nails,
bounce their legs and pull
or twist their hair, among
other habits.
For instance, Lau-
ra Koger, junior in theater,
said she pops her knuckles
in anxious moments.
"When I try to stop. I
usually just try and sit on
my hands," Koger said
Many people suffer
from nervous nail biting,
and it can be triggered for
various reasons. Erika Blue,
psychology intern for Coun-
seling Services, said there
are several reasons for peo-
ple's nervous responses.
"I think the reason is in
the name - people get anx-
ious and degrees of anxiety
are going to differ from per-
son lo person," Blue said.
That nervous habit might
be how people deal with
anxiety, depending on the
situation, rather it be for a
test or a date."
Blue said habits usual-
ly form when individuals re-
ceive some sort of benefit
from their behaviors.
"If a person feels com-
forted or relieved by per-
forming a certain behavior
like nail biting, then he or
she is more likely to perform
that behavior to relieve feel-
ings of anxiety or nervous-
ness in the future," she said
Habits form in differ-
ent situations, mostly from
situations causing anxious
feelings, but Blue said peo-
ple often confuse feelings of
anxiety
Typically, anxiety and
boredom are considered two
different experiences. Blue
said So. while people might
demonstrate certain behav-
iors when they are bored,
like fidgeting, nervous hab-
its are usually thought to be
caused by anxiety,
"The important thing lo
remember is that the term
anxiety' covers a range of
feelings," Blue said "Thus,
some people experience a
transient, everyday form of
anxiety such as nervous-
ness before a test or be-
fore giving a presentation in
class, while others may have
symptoms that are quite se-
rious and negatively influ-
ence their quality of life "
These nervous habits
can cause physical conse-
quences, which eventually
could lead to harm
Theresa Doyle, health
educator at Lafene Health
Center, said there are sev-
eral cases of this type of
harm.
"People who bite their
nails run the risk of chewing
up the sides and cause open
wounds around their nails,
which could lead to bacteria
getting in and possibly caus-
ing infection." Doyle said.
However, Blue said
there are healthy habits that
can replace nervous habits
in moments of anxiety, like
exercising or writing about
their feelings.
"Any type of movement
like walking, or talking with
a friend, is likely to help deal
with anxiety," Blue said.
ff the habit continues
long after the feeling of anx-
iety is gone, or if a person
has everyday anxiety. Blue
said she suggesls to seek
counseling to get their anxi-
ety under control

Next to cooking, movies

I love everything about them;
their abili-
ty lo tap into

amazing. No

one is feeling,
there is al-
ways a movie
that can pro-

In the film. "You've Got
Mail," Tom Hanks tells Meg
Kyan that all the answers to
life's problems can be found in
the movie "The Godfather." He
might nol have been exactly
correct, but Lhe genre of gang-

crets in cooking.

I don't have a drop of Ital-
ian blood in my body, but I love
Italian food - the sauces, spic-
es, meats and pastas all coming
together to make an amazing
flavorful experience Most pas-
las taste similar unless home-
made, so the sauce is what sets
the flavor apart
There are many differ-

Italian sausage or meatballs to
complement the meal.

Pirate candidates Tyrone "R«d 8»»rd" Schurr, senior in electrical engineering, and his running mate, Scott
"First Mate" Carlton (unior in electrical engineering, celebrate their progression in the election at Gurnby's
on Wednesday night.
Pirates remain after surprising result
By Rebecca Perez
KANSAS STATE COUfGUM
Tyrone "Red Beard"
Schurr and Scott "First Mate"
Carlson's watch party was se-
date until the primary elec-
tions results were announced
When Schurr, who was lis-
tening on headphones to the
KSDB 91 9 FM broadcast of
the election results, heard
that he won, he jumped up
and exclaimed "yeah," then
ran over to hug his running
mate.
Carlson, junior in electri-
cal engineering, said at first
he was in absolute disbelief
that they had won, then there
was the rush of exhilaration
because they were still able to
"take out the ninjas"
Schurr, senior in elec-
trical engineering, was still
in shock three hours after
the announcement He said
his first thoughts were, "well
that's it, it's decided."
Schurr also said there was
suspense and worry, which
quickly turned into disbelief
and excitement
"There was a lot more
excitement than disbelief,"
Schurr said.
Schurr's wife, Diane, and
son, Aaron, were there to
support him and his running
mate
Members of the pirate
campaign were waiting at
Gurnby's for the announce-
ment with Schurr and Carl-
son, including their press sec-
retary. Chad "second mate"
Miller, sophomore in electri-
cal engineering, and Ben "the
scallywag" Schreiber, junior
in mechanical engineering,
along with three members of
the press and Schurr's family
Bryan Cox and Piper
Hoskins soon stopped by to
congratulate Schurr and Carl
son.
Andrew Glazier and
Dane Miller congratulated
the pair, followed shortly by
Lydia Peele, senior in math-
ematics education, and her
running mate Robert Swift,
junior in political science.
Several Peele and Swift
supporters stopped by as
well.
Glazier, senior in social
sciences, and Miller, junior in
political science, decided to
back Peele
Carlson said he expects
Cox and Hoskins will sup-
port Peele, but if they want
to throw their support toward
the pirate campaign, they
would be happy for the help.

Peele, Swift win primary decisively
By Adrianrte DeWeese
KANSAS STATE COLLEGIAN
Lydia Peele and Robert
Swift stood face to face with
their arms crossed and sepa-
rated from their supporters at
Tubby's Sports Bar Wednes-
day. They waited for the hour-
hand to strike 6.
Shortly after the Student
Governing Association online
polls closed, the announce-
ment was made: Peele and
Swift won the primary election
with 1,413 votes But Mary
Pox, senior in political science,
interrupted claps and cheers
with another announcement
"Oh my gosh - the pi-
rates," Pox said to Peele.
Tyrone "Redbeard" Schurr
and Scott "First Mate" Carl-
son, who ran a platform based
on pirate issues, finished sec-
ond in the primary election
with 516 votes
"I had no idea what to ex-
pect for tonight, so it was defi-
nitely a surprise," said Peele, se-
nior in mathematics education
"It is what it is. I think they got
a lot of people interested in the
election."
Gayle Spencer, primary
Student Governing Associa-
tion adviser, gave Peele a hug
after the results' announce-
ment and said, "Argh, Matey"
More than 2,600 students
cast their votes in Tuesday and
Wednesday's primary elec-
tions, though more than 3,300
voted in the 2007 primaries
Peele and Swift supporters
in attendance Wednesday night
included Chi Omega and Delta
Upsilon members, Peek's and
Swift's respective greek orga-
nizations Michael Burns and
Grant Groene. who served as
K-Slatc student body president
and vice president in 2005-06,
also showed their support.
Peele was elected as stu-
dent body vice president on
March 7. 2007 It has been
more than 10 years since a K-
State student body vice pres-
ident ran for president. In
spring 1997. then-vice presi-
dent Aaron Otto ran for pres-
ident and lost-

that amended the SGA con-

1950s
Prior to Wednesday. Peell
and Swift spent $2.4625 1,
with their highest expenses as
T-shirts production, campaign
signs and one banner. In com-
parison, student body presi-
dent Matt Wagner and Peele

Emergency notifications tested
By Monica Castro
KANSAS MAIL UHIt.lilAN
All three of the campus-
wide emergency notification
systems were tested Wednes-
day morning, including the
new text messaging system
Steven Galitzer K-Statc
director of public safety, said
he expected a few glitches in
the text -messaging system,
which was introduced Jan. 18.
Galitzer said the Depart-
ment of Public Safety will
work for the next few days to
find why several text messages
did not go through, he said
"The texting | problems |
we don't have control over,
and we have to make people
aware of that." Galitzer said "I
still encourage all who can get
lextmg to sign up for it."
I'here are \7<KI students
faculty and staff enrolled in
the text -mess aging service
"We think it worked as
expected," Galitzer said. "We
know that if we have 5,700
messages sending at one time,
it clogs the system."
Wayne Stoskopf, junior
in agricultural business, said
the text -messaging service and
other systems are a step in the
right direction for more safety
on campus. However, he said
he received his message on his
phone at 1015 am , 15 mm
utes after the text was initial
ly sent. He said lie also had a
friend who did not receive a
text until 1 1 a in
"It is better than noth-
ing, and it's something to keep
looking into," Stoskopf said "I
think any way to communi-
cate whatever problem there
is, like weather or emergency,
is needed."
He said having different
methods ol communication
are beneficial to making the
campus safer instead of rely-
ing on one avenue of commu-
nication.
The new text-messaging
system will send everyone en-
rolled in the service an e-mail
with a survey to see if students
received the message along
with other questions, Galitzer
said
The carillon system and
K-State's reverse 911 system
were the other two systems
that were tested Wednesday
Galitzer said the techni-
cians testing the carillon sys-
tems, which are located in the
Anderson Hall tower and used
as a public address system,
had to set the volume and ad-
just the tones During the lest
of the carillon speaker, people
were stationed in different ar-
eas around campus to test its
range
Wednesday's test was the
first for the carillon systems,
he said. They had to set vol-
ume and adjust other areas of
the system to set tones.
"North of Waters Hall
could not hear the carillon
speaker and around the south
edge of campus, but the caril-
lon speaker is for folks outside
in the center core of campus."
Galitzer said
The final emergency sys-
tem to be tested was K- State's
reverse 911 system. This sys-
tem is operated through K-
State's police department and
calls departments around cam-
pus leaving a message staling
the emergency or if school has
been canceled.
Among the 900 calls
made through the reverse 911
system, 750 went through,
Galitzer said
Though there were prob-
lems with every system tested,
he said, they do what they can
to fix each of those problems
and conduct tests to make
sure they are working proper
iy
Galitzer said the Depart-
ment of Public Safety is open
to all people who want to
leave ideas or suggestions con-
cerning safety and the systems
on campus
"I think (the security sys-
tem] worked how we want-
ed it to work," Galitzer said
"We wanted to test how well
it worked and find what the
problems were and what to get
fixed. We are far ahead than
other universities because we
aren't just talking about this
stuff, we are doing it."

BRISBANE, Australia - A 16-foot python stalked a family dug (or days
before swallowing the pet whole in front of horrified children in the Australian
tropics, animal experts said Wednesday.
The boy and girl, ages 5 and 7, watched as the scrub python devoured their
silky terrier-Chihuahua crossbreed Monday at their home near Kuranda in
Queensland stale
Stuart Douglas, owner of the Australian Venom Zoo in Kuranda, said
scrub pythons typically eat wild animals such as wallabies, a smaller relative of
the kangaroo, but sometimes turn to pets in urban areas.
"It actively stalked the dog for a number of
days," Douglas said.
"The family that owned the dog had actu-
ally seen it in the dog's bed, which was a
sign it was out to get it," he added
'They should have called me then, but
(the snake) got away, and three or four
days later. I was called and went around
and removed it" after the dog had been
killed, Douglas said
By tin- time Douglas arrived, all that
j could be seen of the dog was its hind legs

MAN TRIES TO ROB A BANK TWICE
PLAISTOW. N.H. - Police said the same man
tried to rob the same bank, wearing the same clothes
and telling employees the same thing on Tuesday as
he did two weeks ago The outcome was not the
same
Two weeks ago, the robber got away with cash
from the Sovereign Bank branch On his second at-
tempt, tellers refused to give him money and he took
off empty-handed.
Police and bank employees said it was the same
guy The robber said he had a gun and demanded
money both times.
Witnesses told police the man got away in a
black Chevrolet Avalanche with New Hampshire li-
cense plates that contained the numbers 223.
$1 BIRTHDAY BET MAKES MAN A MILLIONAIRE
LONDON - A British man celebrated his
60th birthday in unexpected style this week-
end when a 50 pence ($1) bet on the horses
turned him into an instant millionaire
Fred Craggs, from Yorkshire in northern
England, was not even aware of his win when
he walked into a branch of the William Hill
belting agency to see how he had done with
his accumulator bet
When he was informed of his good for-
tune, he was said to have turned rather pale
and muttered that he had better go home to tell his wife.
His coup was selecting eight winners running at various courses around the
country - starting with one called "Isn't That Lucky" and finishing with "A Dream
Com True" - at odds of 2,000,000 to one — yehontm.im

Cox, junior in political sci-
ence, and Hoskins, junior in
economics and political sci-
ence, were running on a three-
tiered platform of "Functional,
Freedom and Forward"
The team focused its cam-
paign on talking about the
changes they were hoping to
make in the system
"The way to talk about the
campaign, is to talk about the
issues." Cox said.
Recently, the team re-
ceived complaints from candi-
dates Peele and Andrew Gla-
zier, senior in hotel and restau-
rant manage meni, that more
money than was allowed had
been donated to Cox and Pip-
er because of discounts on T-
shirts die pair bought.
"It was a desperate mea-
sure pulled by desperate candi-
dates," Cox said
He said the complaint was
repealed by Peele and Glazier
at about 12:05 a.m.
"They did it just to get a
headline in the newspaper and
the radio station," he said
Though both Cox and Pip-
er seemed upset at losing in the
preliminaries, they both said
they will continue to slay in-
volved in student senate.
Piper said she hopes to gel
into the judicial side of SGA.
because she said she eventually
wants to go to law school She
does not intend to run again
because she plans on graduat-
ing before the next election
Cox said he will be busy
with his senate campaign For
the next election, he said there
is a chance he will run again.
"We'll see who's running."
he said. "We'll see whal the sto-
ry is next year"
He said the most impor-
tant thing he gained from his
campaign was experience
He quoted Thomas Edi-
son: "I haven't failed." he said.
"I've just found a few ways that
don't work"

Dane Miller, junior in political science, holds a poster from Lydia Peele's campaign while Andy Gtazlar, senior
in hotel and restaurant management, gives theu concession speech at Porter's Bar Wednesday night
By Scott Girard
KANSAS 'iTATT OOUMMM
Andy Glazier and Dane
Miller finished in fourth place
with just seven percent of the
vote, but Glazier said ihey won
no matter the outcome of the
duct ion because of the people
they met during the campaign.
Before the results were re
leased, Glazier, senior in hotel
and restaurant management,
said during his watch party at
Porter's Bar lhat he didn't ex-
pect to win. but he thought he
was into second-place conten-
tion with Bryan Cox, junior in
political science, but far behind
Student Body Vice President
l.uli j Peele
tie did not take into ac-
count the pirate duo of Tyrone
"Red Beard" Sehurr and "First
Mate" Scott Carlson, who got
second with 20 percent of the
vote He said he and his run-
ning partner built a strong rela-
tionship with the pirate pair.
"We got to know the pi-
rates reaJly well, and they're
good guys," said Miller, junior
in political science.
Though Glazier and Miller
said they respected the pirates,
ihey were supporting Peele, se-
nior in math education, and
Robert Swift, junior in political
science.
"I feel Lydia and Robert
will go on and address issues
that we have brought forth,
and we look forward to her be-
ing the next student body pres-
ident," Glazier said after the re-
sults were announced
Glazier said he empha-
sized making friendship!! with
Peele and Sehurr early in the
campaign
"There's no reason to make
enemies," he said. "It's just easi-
er to make friends"
Though he was friends
with the two winning pairs, Gla
zier said he had issues with the
way Bryan Cox, junior in polit
ical science, and Piper Hosk
ins, junior in economics, ran
their campaign Glazier filed a
formal complaint lasl Friday,
along with Peele, questioning
Cox's expense report Glazier
and Peele said Cox tniglil hove
failed to report a discount on
some of his campaign T-shirts
The complaint was dismissed,
and (hey appealed but soon
dropped the complaint
"|ust because I dropped
the complaint doesn't mean I
don't think there's something
fishy going on there." G lazier
said. "There's a lot of umtn
swered questions"
Glazier spent less than
$200 on his campaign, while
Peele and Cox spent more than
$1,000: all (hat money came
from his own expense account
lo fund a Web site and several
campaign posters
"We have done just as well
getting our name out there for
less (he $200 than others have
done with several times more,"
Glazier said

Illegitimate state
Kosovo not justified as separate country
from Serbia, will cause problems for U.S.
The pinnacle of U.S. foreign
policy has been to support the
development of new democratic
slates across
the globe.
Through fund-
ing and mil-
itary ac-
tion, we have
worked to de-
velop rela- ■
tions with
countries who
might become
supportive of
us.
According
to Reuters on
Feb. 19. Pres-
ident Bush formally recognized
the region of Serbia known as
Kosovo as an independent na-
lion.
"History will prove this
to be a correct move, to bring
peace to the Balkans," Bush
said "The United Slates sup-
ports this move because we be-
lieve it will bring peace. And
now it's up to all of us to work
together to help the Kosovars
realize that peace"
The European Union also
supported the independence of
the Serbian region; however,
Russia and Spain refused to rec-
ognize its independence.
Since this announcement by
the United States, violence has
broken out in Belgrade, the cap
ital of Serbia USA Today re-
ported on Feb 22 that the Unit-
ed States' Stale Department or
dered all nonessential diplo-
mats lo leave Serbia immediate-
ly after the U.S. F.mbassy was at
tacked.
Though aggression against
the United States is unaccept-
able. Serbians should be frus-
trated with the stance the Unit-
ed States has taken. Since the
late 1990s, Serbia has been seen
as the aggressor against a weak-
er power However, the Kosovo
Liberation Army has been the
guilty party, slaughtering Serbs
under the noses of UN, Security
Forces
The Global Policy Forum,
which monitors the policies of
the United Nations, stated on
their Web site, "The KLA at-
tacked police and government
installations as well as Serb ci
vilians."
During his time in of-
fice, President Clinton ordered
bombing attacks against Ser-
bia on the basts of genocide A
Wall Street Journal investiga
live piece, written by the late
Daniel Pearl in December 1999.
demonstrated how the number
of Albanians killed were great-
ly inflated and some of the bod-
ies found showed no evidence of
mutilation
Unfortunately, Clinton's
evidence of genocide was
just as substantial as Bush's
weapons of mass destruction
argument in Iraq
The Serbian region of Kos
ovo has neither the means nor
the right to become an indepen-
dent nation.
According to Gregory R
Copley, president of the Inter-
national Institute for Strategic
Studies and editor of Defense
and Foreign Affairs. Kosovo fails
to meet the qualifications of a
state on many foundations.
Kosovo cannot sustain itself
economically through legitimate
means; the KLA is heavily in-
volved in narcotics and weapons
trafficking for financial support.
Foreign aid is the only other
means of support for the region
of Kosovo,
According to the New York
Times on Feb. 19, "A donors
conference will be held soon in
Europe, and the United States
will give $335 million in aid to
Kosovo this year."
In his position paper, "The
Burden of Statehood: Is Kosovo
Ready?,'' Copley said. "For Kos
ovo to be recognized as a legili
male sovereign stale, the inter-
national community must vio-
late the sovereignty of anoth-
er recognized state - the Re-
public of Serbia - by passing
a variety of treaties, such
as the U.N Charter and
the Helsinki Ac-
cords"
The region of
Kosovo already
has proven to be
a failed state even
before being rec
ognized by coun-
tries around
the world
The United
gerous
precedent itself
with its foreign
policy
This decision
will come
back to bite
the United
States and
Europe in
the future.

Study shows youths change affiliation,
not core belief structures as they age
MARQUIS
CLARK
According lo a recent Associat-
ed Press article, the American reli-
gious landscape is rapidly changing
A survey,
conducted by
the Pew Forum
on Religion and
Public Life, stated
that nearly one in
four Americans
change their re
ligious affiliation
between child-
hood and adult-
hood When the
study factors in
changes from one
Protestant reli-
gion to another,
that number jumps to 44 percent
This volatility is occurring at
the same lime that it seems specif-
ic religious affiliation is playing an
increasing role in the politics of our
nation It is true our political histo-
ry contains frequent references to
a god or creator, both in our Con-
stitution and in the language of our
political leaders However, the me-
dia age has added increased scruti-
ny on the personal religious lives of
political candidates.
Mora) issues have become a
mainstay in our political polariza-
tion. And religious blocks like evan-
gelicals are one of the primary con-
stituent groups for the Republican
Party and have flexed their collec-
tive muscle in recent elections
Our presidential
elect inn reflects the sensitivity lo
a politicians' religious affiliations.
Presidential candidate Sen Barack
Obariui. I.) Ill . long has dealt with
rumors that he adheres to the Mus-
lim faith, which he does no1 prac-
inv, including a dispute over pic-
tures of him dressed in traditional
African dress on a trip lo Kenya in
2006 were leaked to the media.
Former presidential candidate
Mitt Romney. had lo give sever-
al speeches specifically concerning
his positions on faith in the Unit-
ed Slates As a Mormon, Romney
often was asked to explain his per-
sonal failh and its role in his gover-
nance.
The winner of the Kansas Re-
publican primary was none oth-
er than ordained Baptist minister
Mike Huckabee, who has drawn
fire for both his personal stanc-
es and the dogma of his denomina-
tion.
f could fill pages about the re
ligious overtones in debates about
abortion and evolution.
But what's interesting about
the Pew Forum study is 25 percent
of respondents age 18-29 said they
are not affiliated with any religion
in particular; however, the levels of
those who claim lo be atheists and
agnostics remain low - 1 6 percent
and 2.4 percent, respectively.

affiliated category in
the study; I've left
the church I grew
up in wilhoul taking up a perma-
nent contrary position And the
new Al Green album and a bottle of
wine forced me to ask the question,
"Why?" I personally don'l attend
the church I grew up in because it
doesn't exist anymore
My childhood experiences
were shaped by my parents' search
for a place - a faith based on the
constant search for what "God"
was doing in a particular place and
lime It culminated in them presid-
ing over a church of a few hundred
members, exactly split in thirds be-
tween the traditional white commu-
nity of my hometown - often farm
ers and small business owners; the
black community, there because of
packing plant jobs; and Hispanics.

sas to do migrant agricultural work
and were moving into meat-packing
jobs vacalcd by the black communi-
ty
It was a ministry that was
grounded firmly in a particular
place and time By the time I be-
came an adult, the needs and par
ticularly the people that served
as the core for that ministry had
changed, subsequently taking
church itself with them. But the
searching and the desire for cultural
diversity and harmony that typified
the church of my childhood arc ev-
er-present issues
Perhaps had respondents been
asked not about the particular
denomination they grew up in
but about the core belief sys-
tem that formed their reli-
gious experience, the results
would have been different.
What this study could sug-
gest is that those who leave
traditional denominations
like Catholicism - which losl
the greatest numbers of pa-
rishioners from childhood to
adulthood - are not rejecting
their faith but only the con-
text of worship

Paper to change
rape coverage
To address the concerns of our
readers, the Collegian is changing
its policy on rape cases. Presently,
our reporters take to the point is an
information direct-
ly from the police
is formed. This is
the Collegian's
official opinion
editorial selected
and debated by
the editorial board
report. If the police S-J^^
do not report any
injuries, then we
don't either. The
statement "no injuries reported"
implies there was no abuse or trau
ma to the body other than forced
intercourse. The statement of no
injuries reported might be unimagi-
nable to some because so many in-
juries are associated with rape.
Now, our policy will be to ac-
company "no injuries reported"
with "according to the police re-
port."
The term alleged is included
with the report for a number of
reasons. The crime did occur, but
no one has been charged. Also, we
cannot assume the reports are al-
ways true, so "alleged" correcUy
describes the crime.
The Collegian understands the
severity of rape, Rape is emotion-
ally damaging experience, and stu-
dents should know the negative ef-
fects of rape.
The Collegian would never want
to hinder the recovery of a rape
victim by being insensitive. But re-
porters are taking straight facts
from these police reports.
Never has the Collegian joked
about this serious crime, and the
Collegian shows its support of rage
victims by changing its policy.

Student involved with recruitment, along with several other groups

Dorutie Hampton never
has been satisfied with watch-
ing events unfold around him.
Hampton, sophomore in
business, said his record of ser-
vice and leadership began be
fore coming to K State, when
he was "thai guy that did way
too much in high school "
His freshman year he
discovered the All-Universi-
ty Open House committee, a
group of students who plan
and implement the logistics
(or the annual event April 19
jHamplon signed on but nev-
-«r imagined he would be giv-
en" much responsibility his first
year To his surprise, he was
chosen to coordinate an entire
day of entertainment at Bosco
Plaza during Open House
This year will be Hamp
ton's third year organizing the
event - he is one of 16 stu-
dents on the committee
"Being in charge of Bos-
co Plaza's entertainment for It-
State's Open House was quite
an experience," Hampton said
"Being a freshman in charge of
such an event definitely was a
crazy experience In a nutshell,
being able to book acts, orga-
nize volunteers and get peo-
ple where they needed to be -
without having a budget - was
pretty insane"
Though his undertaking
was difficult, Hampton said he
impressed student leaders and
administrators and serves in
the same position this year
"It has been great," Hamp-
ton said "I gained an opportu-
nity to work behind the scenes
for K-State."
Hampton said the experi
encc has been worthwhile, and
he has been introduced to new
people and new friends
"Being involved in high
school, it was only natural for
me to want to be involved in
college," he said, "On top of
that. I knew being involved
would allow me to meet oth-
er people that had the same as-
pirations as me That is awe
some, because 1 love to meet
people"
Hampton still finds time
to invest in other organiza-
tions. He is a member of Cir-
cle K International, Student
Alumni Board, Union Program
Council, University Grievance
Board and the Diversity Pro-
gramming Committee
"On top of all of this, 1 am
heavily involved with my fra-
ten niy. Delta Sigma Phi, and
the Kansas State University

ments on his calendar, it is hard
to understand where Hampton
finds the time to work on cam-
pus at New Student Services,
giving tours to prospective stu-
dents.
But Hampton says his job
is one of the most rewarding
parts of his day.
"Being a tour guide on

fun. so I don't mind work. It's
honestly a break for me If you
see me while I'm giving a tour,
say hi' because I love that."
Hampton's success stems
from his humility and desire
to stay out of the spotlight
Though he has desire to be in-

better than he found them, he
is still modest

K-State
needs KU
win to
stay alive
About this time a month
ago, I would have never
imagined the K-State bas-
ketball team
would be In
this position
The game
on Saturday
at KU could
make or break
the Wildcats'
season.
After
starting Big
12 Confer-
ence play 50,
including a home win over
then-No. 2 KU. the Wildcats
have won three out of their
last eight and only one of
their last four games.
After the victory against
Kansas, the Wildcats seemed
to be a legitimate lock to
make the field in the NCAA
Tournament, but since then,
K- State has fallen off a bit.
and the term "bubble team"
might sneak into its vocabu-
lary
Even with the Wild-
cats' losing streak, they once
again can solidify a spot
in the tournament with a
much-needed road win in
Unmeet
There are two factors
K-State fans should wor-
ry about when watching the
game Saturday night First,
the Wildcats haven't been
very successful on the road
in conference play, winning
only two games: the opener
against Oklahoma and later
at Colorado
Second, what will KU's
mentality be in this game
since they will be looking to
avenge their first blemish of
the yaw?
Let's hope the game isn't
, comparable to this year's se-
ries between the Wildcats
and the Missouri Tigers
Missouri was the first
game alter the thrilling upset
of Kansas, and K-State had
lo travel to Columbia, Mo.,
and play in an arena that is a
pretty tough place to play for
any road team
The momentum from the
victory over KU was over,
and the Wildcats couldn't
hold on to first place all by
themselves for more than
one game K-State was upset
77-74.
The much-anticipat-
ed rematch between the two
Big 12 North rivals ensued
on Feb 16 with the Wildcats
dominating the entire way.
There was some concern
on how K State would play
in this game since they had
come off another disappoint-
ing road loss to Texas Tech,
but the Wildcats quickly put
all those questions to rest by
winning by 57 points.
With the combination of
K State's poor road play and
Kansas home-court advan-
tage, this game could be a
laugher if the Wildcats aren't
careful
I don't see this happen-
ing unlets K-State complete-
ly comes in unprepared and
unwilling to play hard. Plus,
it's KU, and if the players
can't get pumped up for this
game, then there Ii definitely
something wrong
Another reason to hope
the Wildcats have a chance
to sweep the layhswki Is Bill
Walker
Walker !• coming off the
worst game of his career at
any level of play Since he It
the vocal leader of this team,
he will make It i point to
perform much better In Al-
len Fleldhouse.
Hopefully, though, the
whole team pluyi much bet-
ter than they hive the past
couple gamei, because If
only two players show up to
play KU, K-State could got
run out of the gym.
Look (or another thrill-
ing Big 12 game on Satur-
day, but For the first time
In three games, the Wild-
cats play team ball and once
again beat KU

Senior guard Blake Young pretends to choke freshman guard Jacob Pullen Of all the characters on the team, Pullen identifies freshman forward
Jamar Samuels and junior forward Andre Gilbert as the funniest players.
Pullen weighs in on Will Ferrell, video gaming skills
ByJoel JelHson
KANSAS STATS COLLEGIAN
K-State freshman guard Jacob
Pullen has been a part of the
Wildcats success this season, av-
eraging 10 3 points per game
Pullen recently sat down to dis-
cuss less serious issues like mov-
ies, Will Ferrell, video games and
funny teammates.
Obviously there are a lot of
characters on this team, bul who
would you say is the funniest?
jamar Samuels and Andre Gilbert
They compete every day for it la-
mar and Andre do things in prac-
tice to make you laugh and be-
fore the game They're just char-
acters. Everybody sees me and
Mike (Beasley) because we are in
the public eye, bul they are really
the funniest guys on the team.
What's your favorite movie?
"He Got Game" just because it
was a good basketball movie for
me. and it's kind of how life was
for certain people being in col-
lege. My college visit wasn't like
that, but just where people are
trying to give you stulf and the
NCAA rules, you just have to be
careful with certain people
That's different than people
would ihink because people see
you and Beasley with all the
"Talladega Nights'' quotes. What
can you say about that movie?
That's one of my favorite movies
too. Will Ferrell is a funny dude,
and me and Mike watched that
movie like 100 times this summer
when we were in summer school
It's just a really funny movie.
Did you get lo see Will Ferrell
when he was here for the Funny
or Die Comedy Tour?
We almost had a chance to meet
him, but he was running late for
the show, and we had to get out
of [Brainlagej - we had just got
out of practice
How good of a basketball player
would you think Ferrell is?
He's probably horrible, but it's
probably funny to see him be that
horrible. If he came to basketball
practice, we would probably em-
barrass him
Who do you Ihink would guard
him? Maybe Beasley?
No, we would probably just put
Chris Merriewether on him be-
cause he is our defensive stop-
per
What kinds of activities do you
like lo do after practice?
I sleep a lot. If you ask anyone on
the team. I am the sleepiest dude.
I could sleep 24 hours Other
than that we play video games
games are you
Which video
playing?
I beat Ron |Anderson] in FIFA
a lot. I beat him 10 -4 last time,
nothing special though. It was al-
most a close game. We play Col-
lege Hoops 2K8, and I blow them
out a lot in that. I play with K
Stale and Memphis, and usually
I beat them by like 20 because,
you know, those two teams are
the best two in the country. NBA
2K8, 1 usually blow them out
with the Boston Celtics. It usual-
ly won't even be a game.
Is I here any game you're not the
best at?
Bill Walker is actually the best
at NBA 2K8 on XBOX 360 He
usually blows people out a lot.
Playstation 3 is my game, but on
XBOX 360 he dominates
Who have you learned the most
from on this team?
I've probably learned a lot from
the fat buys They call us fat boys
because we eat a lot so we stick
together We like to get meals.
Look at Bill |Walkerj, he looks
like he's hungry now so we will
probably grab something lo eat

Wildcats edge Cornhuskers, end 2-game losing streak
By Joel Jellison
KANSAS STATE COLLEGIAN
No matter what K-
State did Wednesday. Ne-
braska kept challenging for
the lead.
Even when the Wild-
cats took on eight- point
lead with 2:09 left to play,
K-State had to battle to pull
off a 69-65 win at Bramlage
Coliseum
K-State (19-8, 11-3 Big
12 Conference) opened the
second half with a 37-30
lead, but the Cornhuskers
(18-10, 7-7 Big 12) whittled
away it the lead and pulled
within one at 42-41 with a
11-3 run.
The Wildcats went
ahead 49-44 with 11:38 left
to play following a quick
7-3 run, K-State extended
Its lead to 63-37 with 204
when sophomore guard
Karl Klncold hit a three
pointer
Nebraska immediate-
ly stormed back with an 8
run to tie the game at MM
with 43 seconds left, K-State
coach Deb Patterson said
her team had some break
downs down the stretch to
allow the Huskers back in
the game
"I think we were really
good until the last lew min-
utes, and I think we had a
few breakdowns, but they
also stepped up and made
some plays," Patterson said
"We made enough plays to
keep us in the game, and we
felt good until the last four
minutes"
With 22 seconds left
in the game, junior guard
Shalee Lehning came off a
screen from junior forward
Marlies Gipson to score
a go-ahead lay-up for the
Wildcats. Lehning said she
initially was looking for any
opening she could Find
"Marllei did a great job
of setting a screen, and I
was jusl trying to keep the
ball alive andhupe some-
thing would open up. either
a drive lane or one of the
wings for a shol," Uhnlng
tild "In my head the men
lallty was, coach has said
all day to me that when I
came off I needed to look to
si urc, and I just happened
to make it."
Nebraska tried to set
up a game tying play, but
Gipson disrupted a drive
by Huskers junior for-
ward Kelsey Griffin, and K
State senior guard Kimber-
ly Dietz stole the ball Dielz
sunk two free throws on the
other end to secure the win
Gipson said she was ready
to stop the play from the
Huskers because Nebraska
tried the same ploy in the
same situation in the pre-
vious matchup on [an 30

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR
'Vegan' article
misses some points
Editor,
Thank you for your article
1 Vegetarian), vegans explore
healthy optloni." While you
fiouit out icverul health bene
ill, there are other reasons to
consider a nun-animal diet,
One it the suffering of the
more than 10 billion land am
malt killed annually for food
There ii limply no way to end
the life In a "humane" way, of
a sentient being that, like us,
wanti to continue to live An-
other is the environmental
damage caused by raiting an-
imal* for food A 2006 United
Nations report itatcd the meat
induitry is "one of the top two
or three most significant con-
tributor! to the most serious
environmental problems," in-
cluding climate change and air
and water pollution. The re-
port goes on to say nearly half
the water and 80 percent of the
agricultural land In the United
States are used to raise animals
for food, and about one-third of
the raw materials used In Amer-
ica each year Is consumed by
the farm animal industry.

Rape victim brave to share
story, move on after ordeal
Editor,
I would like to commend
Darcy Hamilton for having the
courage not only to share her
story but also to move on with
her life. I am impressed that she
continues to maintain a positive
attitude and outlook on life de-
spite the negative and trauma! ■
ic experiences she's faced in the
past
By coming forward pub-
licly, Hamilton has proved she
is unwilling to become just an-
other nameless statistic. She is
a person, with hopes and fears,
just like the thousands of oth-
er brave women who have sur-
vived rape and lived to tell. My
respect and admiration goes out
to her.

Students watch, discuss Japanese animation,

KANSAS STATE COLLEGIAN
Anime Is gaining popularity across
the country, and Kansas It no excep-
tion.
K-Stale'i Anlme and Manga Society
offert friendship among student! who
thare the tame interests Tn the art of Jap-
anese animation.
The group meets at 7 p.m. every Fri-
day in the K- State Student Union Big 12
Room.
"Anime covers a wide area of enter-
tainment,'' said Llndiey Bird, senior In
art, "I have always been fascinated by il-
lustrations and animations."
Bird Is (he society's librarian and Is
responsible for keeping and maintaining
the society's archives
"I like to see how a story comes
alive by artist*," Bird laid "Japanese
tend to create many storylines, 10 an-
ime is not cartoons with a shallow plot-
There is a lot of drama, mystery ana ac-
tion."
Molly Miller, junior in microbiolo-
gy, said Japanese cartoons are distinct
from those in the United States.
"In American cartoons just one ep-
isode is a separate story," Molly Miller,
junior in microbiology, said. "In Japa-
nese anime you need to follow the plot
through the whole season."
Many club members said they were
Interested In Japanese language and
learning how to draw characters from
comics and cartoons
"I think anime is a good introduc-
tion Into Japanese culture in general,"
Miller said. "It gives a little glimpse at
what It's like to live In Japan."
Anlme Is also known for a variety of
genres: action, romance, humor, science
fiction and horror. Categories and sub-
categorlci include anime for children,
for teenage girls and boys, as well ai car-
toons about robots, monsters, fighting
teams and many mure.
One of the K State society almi ii to
promote broader Interest in anime and
manga. In the 1930s, the film-making
Industry was growing very quickly In the
United Stales and In Europe; In Japan,
the movie industry was undeveloped be-
cause of budget, location and casting re-
strictions So animation became an al-
ternative way ol telling a story, creating
new characters and settings.
At that time, many of Disney's tech-
niques were adapted and simplified to
reduce cost and make it easier to draw
cartoons for semi-skilled animation
artists. The term manga refers to com-
ics published in lapan Most anime se-
ries are based on manga stories that of-
ten have meaningful messages,
"Only very few people in Japan get
into tt to the extent that they collect
anlme character Items or dress up like
the characters." James Pukuda, manga
fan and graduate student in veterinary
medicine, said most Japanese adults do
not follow the manga culture ai much
as many believe. "I wish thul people
from foreign countries can also under-
stand that there's so much more In man-
ga than the cool' drawings and charac-
ters, that it Is something people of any
age can appreciate."
Yuku Fukunaun, junior In mud-
ern languages, read a lot of comic man-
Ra books in middle and high school, but
as since stopped reading us many.
"I Still read manga once in a while.
but not that as much a* you guys think
we do," Fukunaga laid "I always get im
pressed about how much American peo-
ple know about anime"
Jessica Whitlamore, senior in crimi-
nology and the club's treasurer, said stu-
dents who love Japanese animation and
culture should not be afraid to show up
to the club's meetings.
"There is a big misconception that
anime lovers are antisocial people," she
said. "It is not truth - we are a very
open group. 1 have found a lot of friends
here"

Safety employee serves K-State for 42 years
By Kristin Hodgis
KANSAS SUTI COLLEGIAN
Larry Zentz remembers
;i different K-Slale II was a
K-Stale whose dairy bam sat
where Throe km urton Hail now
exists and whose hospital was
in Dykstr;i Hall It was a K Slate
whose practice football field sat
in the cUITtnl location of Rath-
bone and Durland halls.
, But as Zentz will tell you,
the campus might be larger and
farther north, but its citizen-
ry isn't much different since he
parted working in 1966
"Campus hasn't changed a
lot as far as the people," Zentz
MM 'Most people are real nice
I o work with 1 enjoy my work,
and with the people I work with
it makes it easier to slay longer"
/.cut/ is one of the longest -
serving classified employees at
K-Staie Classified employees in-
clude those in office and cler-
ical, technical and profession-
al, and service and maintenance
positions Zenlz first came to
K-State after serving in the Ma-
rine Corps His father worked at
K Slate, so Zentz started work
with the Division of Facilities
with the construction crew. Two
years later, he would start a job
wi irking with lire extinguishers
lhal would occupy him for the
next 40 years
Zentz is i fire prevention in-
spector He tests and documents
different fire safety equipment
like fire extinguishers and emer-
gency lights m campus buildings.
A clutter of red fire extinguishers
line the walls of his office wait-
ing to be pressure tested
The fire extinguishers that
can be found throughout the
campus buildings aren't the
same from when Zentz began

Group pushes students

Man Castro | COLLEGIAN
Larry Zantz, fue prevention inspector, Started work with the Division of Facilities with the construction crew in
1966 Two years later, he started a job working with fire extinguishers that he continues to do today
cylinders After K-State no lon-
ger used them, Zentz made the
last two into lamp -shades that
nowsilon his desk
One could leam much
about Zentz looking at the rest
of his desk. Several fire certi-
fications line his shelves along
with a picture with Gov Kath-
leen Sebelius from a ceremony
where Zentz was recognized for
his more than 40 years of state
employment.
Besides the sublJe pin-
nings around his office space, a
large display surrounding ports
of the n mm illustrates his long-
time hobby Models of German.
American and lapancse fronts
from World War II are laid out
across countertops; he has add-
ed careful paintings and details
on the models since his early
days at K-State
Zenlz said he started the
display by coming to work 30
minutes early in work on the on-
going project and continuing the
hobby on his lunch break Some
of the pieces in the collection of
models have 500 to 600 pieces
of assembly, he said
"Now that's dedication,"
said Paul Wilson |r . an environ-
mental technician who shares
the office with Zenlz.
During his time at K-State,
Zentz was part of the campus
fire department that used to ex-
ist He also was a part of the se-
curity in Bra ullage Coliseum
when Ronald Reagan gave a
London Lecture.
"I can remember the police
on the roof tops around here,"
Zentz said "It was interesting
meeting the secret service guys
and to be a part of that action."
Zentz said he plans to con-
tinue working at K-State at least
until he can say he has been here
for 45 years
"And as long as I don't mind
getting up in the morning and
going to work, I'll be here," he
said.
Wilson |r said he consid-
ers his relationship with Zentz
to be symbiotic because they of-
fer knowledge to one another
through their areas of specialty.
"If and when he decides to
retire, it will be o great loss," he
said. "It will be up to myself and
others in the department to pick
up the slack."

no financial knowledge"
Puney, who is also the

dents find ihe motivation to
save their own money and
resist the temptation of sign-

"[Studen1s| are signing

PEELE | Presidential
debate on Monday
Continurdhomfegel
Friday, but Peele said campaign-
booth candy most likely is the
only additional expense.
Peele said Die pair's earn
paign slogan. "More For You" is
a separate concept from the slo-
isin "KSYou" she and student
body president Matt Wagner
used last year.
"We wanted this to be com
pletely new because I feel that
the president role is very differ
ent from the vice president role,"
she said. "We didn't want to
have any sort of repetition from
last year."

While the "More For You"
three- prong platform features
"more peace of mind, more for
the future and more for students'
money," Swift said the pair will
take students' feedback this
week about the platform's gen-
eral issues.
A town-hall style debate
between the two pairs will take
place 7-8 p.m. Monday m the K-
State Student Union, and will al-
low students to leave feedback
and input
"That's what we're looking
for," said Swift, junior in political
science "We want to know what
the students want more of"
PIRATES | Group
touts accessibility
Continued from P*9«1
White the losing candi-
dates are endorsing the Peele
campaign. Schurr said his
thoughts have gone toward
the K-State student body He
said he was surprised by the
amount of support
"The fact that we were
out -spent by 20 itmes and
still won is amazing it shows
that the system works,"
Schurr said.
"We would like to do
something that the bigger
campaigns do We would
like to make T-shirts with
the logo "vote pirate" on the
front and a skull-arid -cross-
bones on the back We want
something that can be worn
for longer than our cam-
paign," Schurr said.
Schurr also said his
campaign isn't about acces-
sibility, but approach ability
"People don't care if
you are accessible, they care
if you are approachable. The
pirates bring humor and ap-
proach ability," Schurr said.
"It is easier to strike up a
conversation with a pirate
than a politician. The race is
definitely different now"

"Spiderwick Chronicles"
Review by Al«i Petit
Dwarves, sprites, pix-
ies, goblins and elves from
the movie "The Spiderwick
Chronicles" help ignite the
imaginations of children and
adults alike.
It's an adventure story
the entire family can appreci-
ate.
It begins with the intro-
duction of a broken family
- mom Helen Grace (Mary-
Louise Parker), daugh-
ter Mallory (Sarah Bolgerl
and twin boys Jared and Si-
mon (both played by Fred-
dy Highmore) - leaves New
York City for a fresh start
and moves into the Spider-
wick Estate, which Helen in-
herits from her elderly aunt.
As is to be expected from any
plot starting with a divorced
parents situation, one of the
kids, lared. is out of control
and ridden with anger issues.
He expresses this by punch-
ing holes in walls, hitting his
mom's car with a stick and
refusing to speak.
Once the family enters
the house, the magic begins.
Helen flips the breaker and
brings light to all the salt lin-
ing the window sills, bot
ties of tomato sauce, colan-
ders upon colanders of oat-
meal and stacks of honey-
filled honeybears. The family
brushes off the bulk of items
by reminiscing about their
great aunt's crazy lifestyle
A lew arguments and a
sloppy dinner later, the fam-
ily members go their sepa-
rate ways in the house lar-
ed, the violent angry twin,
hears something running
in the walls He begins jab-
bing a broomstick through
the wall and eventually un-
earths a small dumbwaiter
that has been hidden by lay-
ers of sheet rock The eleva-
tor harbors many household
trinkets, including the mom's
keys and daughter's fencing
metals, which have obvious-
ly been stolen and stowed
away
Without a second
thought, Jared hops into the
elevator and pulls himself
up to a secret room Turns
out, the secret room was ac-
tually where Arthur Spider-
wick kept all his materials

KANSAS STATE COLLEGIAN
For the girls
Students who don't like beer have numerous
options at bars like mixed drinks, wine, shots
By Ashley Fray
KANSAS STATE COLLEGIAN
For college students, beer is
the cheap way to go when want-
ing to drink alcoholic beverages
However, some students, partic-
ularly women, often prefer oth-
er alternatives to beer: the "girly"
drinks.
The girly drinks category
can include anything remotely
fruity and colorful, usually not
containing "manly" liquor like
whiskey These alcoholic drinks
can be found in a variety of ways
- wine, mixed drinks and shots.
"We usually see more girls
ordering mixed drinks as op-
posed to beer, but we do have
some beer drinkers occasion-
ally," said Mike Phillips,
manager at Kite's Bar and
Grill
Phillips said the
most popular combina-
tion he sees women order-
ing include either Malibu
coconut rum or Captain
Morgan rum with pineap-
ple juice or even Coca-Co-
la.
The brand UV Vod-
ka is growing in populari-
ty among women, Phillips
said UV
comes in
different
flavors
like blue
raspberry, pink lemonade and green apple
Popular mixed drinks, include cosmopolitans,
margaritas, pifla coladas, mojitos, tequila sunrises and
Long Island Iced Teas.
"I prefer mixed drinks and shots, because mixed
drinks taste the best and shots are just fun to take,"
said Rachael Ray, senior in psychology
Ray said she usually orders vodka and Sprite
when going out to the bar, because they are cheap and
easy to order
"But my favorite drink is Three Olives Grey Vod-
ka with Red Bull because its my favorite liquor with
my favorite mixer," Ray said "1 just love it"
For those who do not enjoy beer regularly, anoth-
er alternative are the "girl" beers or malt beverages
These can include Smirnoff Twisted and Mikes Hard
Lemonade products and other items that are high in
sugar and fruit flavors. Smirnoff Twisted comes in
raspberry, cranberry, Mandarin orange and green ap-
ple flavors.
These drinks might take longer to feel the effects,
but people can take a more direct route to feel the al
cohol by taking shots Some shots can be taken with
straight alcohol and possibly a chaser, but mixed shots
do exist, like lemon drops, red-headed sluts and oat-
meal cookies.
These shots generally include a mixture of dif-
ferent types of alcohol, making it easier to take than
straight alcohol Phillips said more women order
mixed shots than actual straight shots when they come
into the bar
"My favorite shot of all time is Sex on the Beach,"
said Mandy Malone, senior in animal sciences and in-
dustry "Mostly because the fruity taste overrides the
alcohol."
Finally, wine is another popular drink among
women Many say wine is an acquired taste, but over
time, people can learn to prefer wine over beer.
"If I'm somewhere classy, I like to stick with wine,"
Malone said.
For the non-beer drinker, options are available
Flavored beers are another route for those who can
tolerate beer but still want that "girly'' and fruity as-
pect
Drinks other than cheap beer might be harder to
find at the typical college keg party, but can be found
ar ' consumed nonetheless,
"I usually stick with mixed drinks and shots when
I go out to the bars," Malone said "And some bars
have specialties. When I end my night at So Long's
singing 'Sweet Caroline,' you'll find an amazing pine-
apple beer in my hand"

5th year: Women have undeniable ability to smell good
Why do girts smell so good?
Wow
I have no idea,
but 1 know exactly
what you mean
Women have this
thing about them It's
the same idea as Pig-
pen from "Peanuts,'
but the complete op-
posite effect They
have this aura of
sweet-smelling good-
ness around them at
all times, which an
explanation in words
could never truly do Justin:
Example: Last summer some
friends of mine went to see the movie
"Transformers," and I brought a beau
tiful young lady along with me. She left
afterward, and as I returned to my com-
panions, only one said anything My
ADAM
REICHENBERGER
friend Jay calmly said, "She smells real-
ly good"
"Hell, yes, she does," I excitedly re-
plied.
And it's true; she did
I don't know what it is, but wom-
en smell amazing And it's not like we're
all creeps and wandering around sniff-
ing you Rather, it's that it radiates from
you.
You could go work out, run around
for an hour, sit and sulk in your own
sweat and your nappy hair - Yes, la-
dies, sometimes it gets that way when
you work out, but don't worry; we don't
mind - and you'll think to yourself,
"Man, I smell like crap." Nope. Daisies.
It's just who you are It's ingrained
in you Accept it We all have, and we
love it
It's all part and parcel of being
a woman 1 guess I caught on to this
awhile ago and have tried to utilize it.
When the gang up and decided to go
to Auburn last autumn, I asked count
less women to join "Why?" they would
ask I told it to them simple and true, "to
make the car smell nicer."
There needs to be some way to bot-
tle up this aroma of all things good and
mass market it. Then friends might stop
by my apartment and instead of ask-
ing if I've eaten com recently (never), it
might go something like this:
"Wow - that's amazing. Who's
over here?"
"Oh, no one," I might reply. "That's
just the Febreze you're noticing"
'Really? Oh, pray tell me, what is
that mesmerizing scent?"
"Girl."
Billions sold overnight
Then there are those girls who, in
complete defiance of all things natural
in this world, have the ability to roll out
of bed in the morning two minutes be-
fore class starts and still make it on time
because they don't need to waste time
with any make-up or perfume Their
beauty and good-smellingness are so
abundant that to put on any anything
artificial would just be overwhelming.
You amaze me
So while I don't know how you
women pull it off, I would like to thank
you just the same To all the women in
all my classes - especially last semester's
Econ 555 - to those of you who must
put up with me at work, to my mother
of course, and the girl 1 see at Starbucks
all the time: Thank you If it weren't for
you and all your glory, 1 might have to
smell just myself.

Even more
reasons to
settle down
Former military leader plans to visit K-State more often
cm 1.HHANFILF photo
By Scott Glrard
KANSAS STATE COLLEGIAN
Gen. Richard Myers' office
on the second floor of the K-State
Alumni Center is practically bare
There's a desk, some papers of rec-
ognition framed on the wall, a few
pictures and a small laptop com-
puter on the desk - no hie cabi-
nets, no memorabilia from his
decades of military experience,
no evidence of use. After all, the
1965 K-State graduate only visits
K-State for two or three days at
a time every few months, and he
rarely has time to sit in his office.
That's how Myers lives his
life. Even after retirement from the
military, there's no time or reason
to settle down.
"I've moved too many times
in my life, and so I've kept this
kind of sparse. I don't like the idea
of coming by here and putting the
stuff in the trunk of the car," he
said referring to traditional office
decorations
Myers could change that men-
tality as he plans to visit K-State
more often and invest more time
in the military history program.
Myers, the chairman for the
foint Chiefs of Staff during the
start of the wars in Afghanistan
and Iraq, is a foundation professor
of military history at K-State He,
by no means, is a traditional pro
fessor.
When he came to campus last
Thursday and Friday, it was the
first time he was at K-State this
semester: he won't be back until
April When he comes to campus,
Myers talks to classes ranging in
topics from leadership to political
decisions of going to war to media
ethics
"I'm pretty much at the dis-
posal of the university," he said
"They can use me any way they
want to use me for the days that I
come back to campus "
Myers retired from his post as
JCS chairman, the highest rank-
ing military officer, on Sept. 30,
2005 Since then, Myers has main-
tained his busy schedule, he is on
the boards of several nonprofit or-
ganizations and planning com-
mittees, like the Defense Policy
Board, which studies long-range
issues for the defense secretary. He
is also working on a memoir and
a report on the future of national
security challenges, which take up

much of his time.
"1 can't imagine doing any-
thing else," he said. "I can't imag-
ine, for instance, playing golf a
couple times a week I like golf,
but 1 couldn't imagine doing that "
Retirement did lessen one as-
pect of Myers' life - stress As
chairman, Myers was the principal
adviser to the secretary of defense.
National Security Council and
the president Myers said he was
in charge of determining the mili-
tary's role in combating violent ex-
tremist groups during and after the
conflicts in Afghanistan and Iraq,
sorting through the influx of cor-
rect and false information reports
from all over the world
Myers said it was hard getting
all the government factions work-
ing together and focused on fol-
lowing the same track as President
Bush He also said he often had to
make sure the government kept
the military's and defense depart-
ment's suggestions in mind.
"For me. the most frustrating
part, the longer 1 stayed in the of-
fice, was trying to get the rest of

flicts] as seriously .. as the Depart -

he said.
Myers said the only part of the
job he missed as chairman was re-
lating to and representing the 2.4
million Americans who wear uni-
forms, including reserve troops.
"The only time I ever miss it
today is when I'm around troops

Park management professor to visit small African country of Mali
By Salena St rat*
KANSAS STATE COLLEGIAN
When the need for de-
veloping tourism arose in
Mali, the Fulbright Program
called upon K-State profes-
sor of park management and
conservation Ted T. Cable He
will be traveling to Mali, Afri-
ca, in May as a Fulbright se
nior specialist.
"The trip will be physical-
ly demanding," Cable said "It
will be well over 100 degrees
everyday It's a difficult place
tulive and to work."
— In Mali, Cable will teach
tourism students at the Uni-
versity of Bamiko the defini-
tion of interpretation He said
interpretation is similar to a
national park tour guide ex-
plaining the prairie during a
nature hike. Also, Cable will
be working with the Mall For-
est Service to start working
on elephant -based tourism.
"It's one of the poorest
countries in the world, so one
of the ways they are looking
for sustainable economic de-
velopment is through bring-
ing in tourists," Cable said.
By providing this training I
hope the tourism people in
Mali will provide a better ex-
perience for tourists so they
will want to come back "
He said he also tries to
educate people about sav-
ing nature in Africa, which
in turn benefits people in the
long run.
"When I write about Af-
rica or work in Africa I try to
give people hope," Cable said.
"I think that's what's lacking
in Africa, and that's the big-
gest threat, a loss of hope "
Mali is a landlocked na-
tion in western Africa. It is
the seventh largest country
on the continent, with 65 per-
cent of its land area designat-
ed as desert or semi desert,
according to the CIA World
Factbook. Mali is among the

because of his family ties Ca

minimum
wage to
remain
$2.65
ByEllsePodhaJsky
KANSAS STATE COLLEGIAN
The bill presented earlier
this month to raise the Kan-
sas minimum wage from $2.65
to $7.25 never made it out of
committee
Sen. Roger Reitz, R-Man-
hattan, said the chairman in
the state Senate Commerce
Committee did not agree with
the bill, and it therefore was
never heard by the committee,
Kansas currently has the
lowest state minimum wage
in the nation. According to
an article in the Topeka Cap-
ital-Journal, this was the 1 5th
bill of its kind to fail since the
$2 65 rate was set in 1988
"It's just ludicrous," said
Reitz "It's not something we
ought to be very proud of here
in Kansas ."

battle
By Deborah Muhwezl
KANSAS STATE COLLEGIAN
Since 1997, the DVD for-
mat has conquered the home-
video market that once was
ruled by VHS. In the current
era of the DVD phenomenon,
Blu-ray and HD DVD have
been continuous competitors
in the battle for high defmi
tion video formats Now, Wal-
Mart Stores, Inc. has chosen
to only sell Blu-ray DVDs in
its stores
Wal-Mart announced its
decision to sell only Blu-ray
DVDs and drop the selling of
HD DVDs in its 4000 stores
across the U.S. last week in re-
sponse to consumer preferenc-
es.
"We've listened to our
customers, who are showing
a clear preference toward Blu-
ray products and movies with
their purchases," said head of
home entertainment for Wat-
Mart, Gary Severson.
According to CD-Writer,
com, the basic principles and
structure of the two formats
are the same The main differ-
ence lies in the amount of stor-
age capacity
CD-writercom said Blu-
ray discs allow a capacity of
25Gb and an approximate
amount of 50Gbs on a dual
layer disc An HD DVD will
hold about 20Gb and 45Gbs
on a dual layer disc As a re-
sult, several movie studios
made the decision to concen-
trate on Blu-ray DVDs as the

HPV most-common
STI/STD among
college-age women
By Krystle Richard
KANSAS STAT* UHLEd'AN
Despite a national in
crease in reported cases of
chlamydia, gonorrhea and
syphilis to the Centers for
Disease Control and Pre-
vention, the most common
sexually transmitted infec-
tion among young people is
human papillomavirus, or
HPV
Carol Kennedy, direc-
tor of health promotions
and nutrition counseling at
l.;ifcne Health Center, said
the probability of a college-
> age adult having an STD has
I increased within the last 10
years.
In fact, according to the
American Social Health As-
sociation, "about half of all
new STD's/STJ's in 2000
occurred among youth ages
15 to 24. The total estimat
cd costs of these 9 million
new cases of these STDs/
STIs was $6.5 billion, with
HIV and human papilloma
virus (HPV) accounting for
90 percent of the total bur
den"
Unlike chlamydia, gon-
orrhea and syphilis, the na-
tion's three most screened
STDs, HPV and genital
herpes are not screened and
go unreported to the CDC,
according to its Web site
Testing for HPV must be re
quested during a physical
exam.
Kennedy said many
students don't seek treat-
ment after infection because
the infection itself is asymp-
tomatic.
"Part of the problem
is that many people don't
have symptoms, and so they
don't get treated," Kennedy
said, "thus spreading it to
others HPV is more prev-
alent in women then in
men."
Because of a lack of
symptoms, the new term
"sexually transmitted infec-
tion," or STI, is used in ref-
erence to a person who is
infected and could possibly
infect others, according to
the World Health Qrgani
/ Jin hi In many cases, STIs
are curable.
Gardasil is a new vac-
cine to prevent certain types
of HPV. However, while
there are about 40 types of
HPV, the vaccine helps to
prevent only four types of
HPV with, whi'-h a woman
1**n not been exposed.
" "Then are two types of
HPV, which cause 70 per-
cent of cervical cancer cas-
es," Kennedy said. "The two
most common types create
90 percent of the cases of
genital warts"
The vaccine is admin
istcred completely in three
sessions, however, Kenne-
dy said the vaccine is most
effective before any sexual
contact.
"It works best before
any genital skin-to-skin
contact, not just before a
person has intercourse." she
said
According to the CDC
Web site the vaccine is rec-
ommended for girls 11- to
13-years old but can be ad-
ministered to girls as young
as 9 years old
Tract Glosser, freshman
in accounting, said she re-
ceived the vaccine when
she was in high school.
"Some of my friends
were getting it when it first
came to my hospital in my
hometown," she said, "and
my doctor just recommend-
ed it at my physical for extra
safety."
Though she has re-
ceived the vaccine, Glosser
said she didn't know much
about HPV until she got the
vaccine.
HPV is a common vi-
rus worldwide that causes
genital warts and is the ma-
jor cause of cervical cancer
among women There is no
clinically approved way to
detect HPV in men; visu
al inspections for warts are
most common, according to
ASHA.
Depending on the loca-
tion of the wart, condoms
might not be effective, Ken-
nedy said.
"It's important to know
your partner, even get test-
ed together." she said.
Using condoms every
time as well as limiting your
partners is another sugges-
tion she offered.
"Don't have sex with a
different person every week-
end." Kennedy said.
She said drugs and al-
cohol can impair decision-
making skills, and abuse of
either should be avoided
"Don't put yourself in
a position to make a deci-
sion to do something that
you wouldn't normally do,"
Kennedy said
There are many re-
sources about HPV accord-
ing to ASHA, yet Kennedy
said people are more aware
of how to prevent a preg-
nancy than an STD.

"We were showing the film
Favela Rising' and then the
band that was actually in the
film came to K-State," Peairs
said "But it was just one of
those golden opportunities.
They just happened to be in the
country at the time"
Peairs started the cam

said
These types of responses
are what the film series Movies
on the Grass tries to explain,
Peairs said
Several factors contribut-
ed to the creation of Movies on
the Grass in fall 2005. The core
groups of people, who had been
talking all over campus, came
together to try a unified film se-
ries, Peairs said The group de

For the fall 2008 season,
Peairs said they are planning

OPINION
KANSAS STATE COLLEGIAN
Down, but not out
i
STEVEN
KELLY
Despite shaky poll
numbers, Hillary
should continue
To the delight of some and the chagrin
of others, the presidential campaign of Sen.
Hillary Clinton, D-N.Y , is starting to look
spooklly similar to the K-
State men's basketball
season this year.
Both factions began
their seasons with prom-
ising key victories - for
example, Clinton's win
in New Hampshire and
K-State's brilliant tri-
umph over the Universi-
ty of Kansas Now, how-
ever, after suffering sever
al devastating losses, they
are both scrambling to
pick up some wins just to
stay alive. But while the
men's basketball team valiantly presses on
with the help of its loyal fans, some of Clin-
ton's supporters are starting to have second
thoughts. In fact, a few are even suggesting
she withdraw from the race.
"If Hillary Clinton wanted a graceful
exit, she'd drop out now - before the March
4 Texas and Ohio primaries - and en-
dorse Barack Obama, D-lll," wrote colum-
nist Jonathan Alter in an issue of Newsweek
which will hit newsstands Monday and is
now available on the magazine's Web site
In his column, Alter claimed that Clin-
ton would have to win both Texas and Ohio
by a very wide margin to stay competitive in
the race Alter said since there's no chance
this will happen, it would be a wise and
classy move for Clinton to quit now
Well, Alter is right about something -
chances aren't looking good for Clinton.
The two candidates are virtually deadlocked
in Texas. A Feb. 25 USA Today/Gallup poll
even put Obama ahead by a few points, at
49 percent to Clinton's 45 percent
Fortunately for her, Clinton still has
the lead in Ohio, her last real bastion of
strength But Obama is closing the gap fast-
er than the K Slate men's basketball team
lost its No. 1 spot in the Big 12 Conference
In a Rasmussen Reports poll re-
leased on Feb 26, Clinton led in her 'fire
wall" state by just five points, 48 percent
to Obama's 43 percent Two weeks ago,
she led by nearly triple that margin. Clin-
ton's last defenses are crumbling, and it
seems like
nothing can
stop Obama
from breaking
through
But despite
such confidence-
crushing num-
bers, it would be
absurd for Clin-
ton to abandon
the race before
the March 4
primaries Why
would she drop
out before the
voters in Texas and
Ohio had a chance
to make their deci-
sions? Though the
polls usually are ac-
curate, they're hardly infalli-
ble - just look at New Hamp
shire. Hillary could make a
last-minute rally in one or
both states and gather just
enough votes to stay alive
As for Alter's suggestion:
leaving the race now to avoid humiliation
would not be classy - it would be a slap
in the face to everyone who has support-
ed her throughout this roller-coaster cam-
paign season Sure, there's honor in hum-
bly accepting defeat, but it is no less honor-
able to fight it out to the end.
Naturally, Clinton would have every
reason to step down if she lost Texas and
Ohio so soundly that her nomination would
become a mathematical impossibility But
while she still has even the slightest hope of
winning the nomination, it would be mad
to call it quits.
Of course, most of these election woes
will remain shrouded in doubt until March
4 Whether Clinton will stick around for
the next round of primaries will be in the
hands of voters in Texas and Ohio We can,
however, be fairly certain
Clinton will stick it out un-
til then In fact, the day she decides to bow
out of the race while she still has a chance
of winning will be the day our men's bas
ketball team decides to forfeit one of its
games
Now, if only Clinton could round up a
campaign manager who is to politics what
Michael Beasley is to basketball.

Reaching for a 'doll' doesn't solve everybody's problems
Have a headache? Grab an
Advil. Or maybe it's best to be safe
and reach for the extra- strength
Bxcedrin
Depressed?
Constipated 7
Sleepless?
Anxious? No
worries, just reach
for a pill, say the
drug lords, or
rather, doctors of
the United States
Our nation
is turning into a
live-action version
of "Valley of
the Dolls" Doll,
which is slang
for downers or mood-altering pills,
is the operative word here. Each
character in this movie has her own
Slecial 'doll" for her own problem
bve a problem? just grab a doll.
There is a creepy parallel
between this movie and what our
society is becoming. Work all day
- and night - take sleeping pills,
antidepressants and anti-anxiety
rfteds to balance us out amid the
never-ending grind
i "Valley of the Dolls" follows
three women as their careers
Sd aspirations carry them to the
Smacle of their lives. The only
Watch is. in order to stay at the top
Of their game, they have to lake pills
to sleep, wake up and maintain a
balanced character.
According to an NBC report, the
No. 1 type of medicine prescribed to
American women is anti -depressants.
Thirty-seven percent of women aged
18-44 are taking these mood- altering
drugs, according to the report.
According to an ABC
news story, prescriptions for
antidepressants have increased to
an astounding 1 18 million each
year, which amount to roughly one
prescription per two-and-a-half
Americans.
For some, these medications
work miracles and keep people
from committing violent acts of self-
mutilation or at least help them
stand to wake up every day and live
the lives they have.
But what if suddenly these drugs
became less effective? What if the
top-of-the-line options to relieve
depression and anxiety didn't work?
According to BBC News, that's
exactly what's happening.
A group from the University
of Hull concluded that the newest
generation of antidepressant drugs is
only beneficial to the most severely
depressed, which is a rather small
group, according to the BBC There's
a catch to everything.
While plenty of patients
suffering from depression have
admitted pills aren't for them, our
culture is all loo driven by quick
fixes. It's rare for people to wait out
a migraine or shrug off
indigestion, and why
should they, when
the advertising and
pharmaceutical
industries are
enticing them with
an answer, or pill,
for every ache and
pain?
Well, it wasn't just a
myth that said all good things
come to an end
According to ABC News,
Blair Johnson, psychology
professor at the University of
Connecticut, said cases involving
lower levels of depression showed
very little to no improvement from
antidepressants
"My theory is that human beings
are very suggestible creatures,"
lohnson said in an article "The
patient who takes these drugs then
might, in believing they feel better,
start to act in a way that actually
makes them feel better. Consequently
you have almost as big an effect for
placebo as you do for drugs."
If said wonder drugs practically
are developing into less-effective
sugar pills, then perhaps other
methods of treatment should be
sought in the first place.
Not to say there aren't a fair
amount of people out there who
truly can benefit from antidepressant
medicines, but there's also a decent

KU law professor to discuss Kansas
judicial nominating issues at lunch
By Kristin Hodges
KANSAS STATE COLLEU1AN
People hungry for infor-
mation can listen to an advo-
cate discuss changes needed
in the Kan-
sas judicial
system to-
day while | y
feeding their
stomachs
Stephen
Ware, a pro-
fessor of law
at Ihe Uni-
versity of **"*
Kansas, will
speak at noon today at Sir-
loin Stockade, 325 E Poyntz
Ave., to the public and mem-
bers of the local Americans
for Prosperity chapter.
Ware will speak about
the selection of Kansas Su-
preme Court justices.
Jennifer Rezac, commu-
nications director for Amer
icans for Prosperity-Kansas,
said the luncheon will inform
the attendees about how Kan-
s'as currently selects its jus-
tices and to show that there
are better ways to do it
"People will mingle and
eat for a little bit, and then
he'll speak and open it up
for questions at the end," she
said.
In November, Ware pub-
lished "Selection to the Kan
sas Supreme Court," and
Rezac said he will speak
about a different system to
select Kansas justices, which
he advocates as requiring
Senate confirmation of Kan-
sas Supreme Court justices
Rezac said the event is
open to the public, though
attendees will need to pay for
their own lunch
"It's informal, and it's
something we want people
to feel comfortable at," Rezac
said. "We've had it at various
types of places and a lot of
restaurants"
According to a |an. 9 ar-
ticle in the Lawrence Journal-
World, Ware has been giving
policy receptions around the
state since the beginning of
the year.
The article reported that
Ware discusses the benefits
of changing the current sys-
tem to where "the governor
would nominate a candidate,
whose appointment would
then be subject to confirma-
tion by the state Senate -
similar to the process used by
the federal government in se-
lecting federal judges."
Paul Barkey, Manhattan
coordinator for the local AFP
chapter, said this is the first
time Ware will speak to the
Manhattan chapter
He said the members lis-
ten to speakers about eco-
nomic or political issues ev-
ery three or four months dur-
ing lunch or with appetizers
in the evening
Barkey said' he expects
about 20 to 50 people at the
event, which he said will last
an hour.
"We'll eat lunch and have
some stimulating input," Bar-
key said.
While Manhattan AFP
members will attend the
event, Barkey said he hopes
the Manhattan general pub-
lic also will come to the open
meeting
"We hope that there will
be people particularly inter-
ested in this topic and con-
cerned about what's going on
in the judicial system, partic-
ularly the control the judicial
system is exercising in our
culture," he said.
Barkey said the mission
of AFP is to help the state of
Kansas, as well as the United
States, move ahead as a cul-
ture and commit to econom-
ically sound practices to re-
main stable
FRIDAY FACTOID
Worker upholds tale of theater ghost
ByJotVosstn
KANSAS STATE COLLEGIAN
Tales of ghosts and appa-
ritions on the east side of Me-
morial Stadium have been told
by K State students for years
Stories tell of at least one ghost.
Nick, a student who died on
campus and now haunts the
building.
Sally Bailey, associate pro-
fessor of theater, has worked in
the Purple Masque Theatre in
East Stadium for eight years.
Theatergoers and drama stu-
dents who frequent the Pur-
ple Masque often are present
when Nick chooses to interact
with the living
"Supposedly, [Nick] was
killed in a football game in
the stadium many, many years
ago when the old stadium was
used for football games, and
also used as the dorm for the
athletes" Bailey said. "What is
now the Purple Masque was
the cafeteria."
Bailey said Nick's ghost
has stayed in Memorial Stadi-
um all these years because he
is suil waiting for his parents,
who were not with him before
he died
"He was carried in from
the field to the cafeteria and
that's where he died," she said
It is believed he still haunts
the Purple Masque Legend

The Purple Masque Theatre is known for Nick the ghost. Over the
years, students have claimed to see the ghost pull a few pranks.
says they were on their way to
the game, but it was a dark and
rainy night and they had an ac-
cident on a country road and
were killed, never making it In
see Nick."
Nick is known as a prank
ster, and Bailey said she be-
lieves several strange occur-
rences can be attributed to his
mischief.
"My first couple of years
of teaching, there were a cou-
ple of times when I thought
that my purse had disappeared .
and then at the end of class or
the end of rehearsal, it would
show up back where I had
originally put it," Bailey said "I
decided that Nick was spiriting
it away just to let me know he
was around and that I'd better
be respectful."
Bailey teaches Creative
Drama in (he Purple Masque
each semester She said by tell
ing Nick's story out loud to
her students during class, Nick
feels lhal he is being remem
bered and keeps a low profile
"I think that he feels we
are keeping his name alive and
respecting his memory, so he
doesn't feel the need to play
tricks on me and my students,"
Bailey said.
Fort Riley soldiers, families face lack of housing options in Flint Hills region
By Rebecca Perez
KANSAS M Alt COLLEGIAN
Affordable housing can
be difficult to find for sol-
diers new to Fort Riley be-
cause of the long wait for on
post housing.
When Craige Wall was
stationed at Fort Riley he
brought his wife, Tara, and his
daughter Elieday with him.
He was told by non-commis-
Moned officers at his military
technical training school in
Virginia he would be able to
gel on-post housing quickly,
and he would be able to slay
at the on-post motel cheaply
until that housing was ready.
When the Walls arrived
at Fort Riley, they found plac-
es to stay were not readily
available, and there were no
rqoms available at the post
mule) Because Craige was
only a private second class
and he and his wife didn't
have any credit cards, their
options were limited.
So, in the 110-degree
heat of August, the Wall fam-
ily camped at Tuttle Creek
State Park. They camped for
two weeks and five days be
fore deciding they couldn't
live that way anymore.
"We walked around Wal-
Mart all day long to get out of
the heat," Tara said.
When they finally decided
that they had had enough of
camping, they went in search
of an extended stay motel
in Topeka When they were
just outside of Wamego. they
were pulled over for speeding
by a police officer. The offi-
cer gave them a warning, and
he also gave them directions
to a realtor in Wamego when
he heard their slory of look-
ing for housing The realtor
then sent them to RW Prop-
erties in Wamego
"We were lucky we were
pulled over," Tara said.
Tara said they put their
names on the housing list as
soon as they got to post, but
it was a six to 12 month wait
for housing. She also said the
list of possible places to look
that the housing office gave
them was discouraging She
said there were several places
in Salina, Clay Center, Kan.,
and Topeka. but only a cou-
ple of places in Junction City
and nothing for Manhattan
or Wamego.
Many of the off-post
housing options suggested
to soldiers when they arrive
don't meet Department of
Defense standards in regards
to commute and price, ac-
cording to published guide-
lines. According to www.ri-
tey.army.mil, a soldier's com-
mute should be no longer
than 20 miles or less than
an hour in rush hour traffic.
Rent should be no more than
80 percent of soldiers' Basic
Allowance for Housing
When Craige came to
Fort Riley, his BAH was
$812. Before he found a
place in Wamego, his family
was going to rent a two bed
room apartment in Junction
City for $800 a month They
would have had to spend
around $300 out of pock-
et for utilities At the time
Craige only made $2239 40
with BAH included before
taxes Luckily they found a
two bedroom apartment in
Wamego for $575 a month.
The one drawback to liv-
ing so far away from post is
that the Walls were spending
$300 a month in gas for their
car
The Walls' situation isn't
unique among soldiers new
to Fort Riley
Fort Riley estimates there
are 7,425 soldiers who live
off -post, and they estimate
4,196 of those soldiers have
family with them Part of this
difference is because of fami-
lies that decided to leave Fori
Riley or not come at all since
their soldier was deployed in
Iraq.
Tara is one of those
spouses that decided to move
back home while her hus-
band toured in Iraq She will
be coming back to Fort Ri-
ley before her husband so she
can move into on-post hous-
ing. When she moves some
lime in July 2008. it will be
almost two years since her
husband came to Fori Riley
Housing wait lists
range from six months to
24 months depending upon
rank and how many bed
rooms are needed, accord-
ing to the Fort Riley Hous-
ing waitlists Based upon the
projected expansion of Fort
Riley's population, and the
limited amount of space for
future housing on Fort Riley,
the surrounding area can ex-
pect 9.170 soldiers to live off
post in 2013.
Less expensive and more
readily available off- post
housing in |unclion City and
Manhattan would help sol-
diers, but Tara said better re-
sources for incoming soldiers
are what are needed most.
"We had these expecta-
tions for what would happen
when we go! to Fort Riley,"
Tara said, 'and none of them
happened"

Sports

eliminate
cheating
It seems like every lime
you turn on SportsCenter to
day, you hear about people
breaking
tlic rules in
spurts.
We
hear all
about Rog-
er Clemens
being tailed
to Con-
gress to tes-
tify about
whether he
did or did
not use per-
formance-
enhancing
drugs
Former Indiana coach
Kelvin Sampson and his "im-
permissible calls" will forev-
er leave a mark on college
basketball
Once, back in 1994.
there was a nine-year old
girt in Hereford. Texas, play
ing T-ball a year after she
was supposed to transition
into slow-pitch softball
That girl was me. Could
I have been considered a
ringer? With a little more
athletic talent, yes.
However, the point I'm
trying to prove is this: cheat-
nig is inevitable in sports. It
might be intentional, or it
might not. but it always will
be a part of sports
It also can make sports
exciting. I'm sure everyone
who followed baseball in
1998 remembers the home-
run competition between
Sammy Sosa and Mark
MeUuire
McGuire was mentioned
in the |ose Canseco expose,
"luiced." and Sosa was im-
plicated in the Grimslcy Af-
fidavit, which came before
Ihe Mitchell Report was re-
teased.
Does the fact thai both
players most likely used per-
formance-enhancing drugs
lake away from the excite-
ment of watching every Car-
dinals' and Cubs* game that
summer to see it it would be
the game when Roger Maris
home run record was bro-
ke!)''
To me it doesn't The
truth is. as sports fans, we
ftuck lo controversy Watch
ing the consequences of
the Mitchell Report unfold,
hearing about the gruesome
allack on Nancy Kerrigan
by one of Tonya Harding's
henchmen, learning about
juicing behind the scenes
of the Tour de France - it's
hard to find one sport in
which some form of cheating
has not left its mark
Even casual fans of
baseball know about the
1919 Chicago White Sox
"Shoeless" foe Jackson and
mm olher players were
banned from Major League
Baseball for life for throwing
games to make some extra
Ctth that year.
In recent years, sports
I ins also brought up a big
M'iindal on the big screen. In
i he remake of "The Longest
Vard," Adam Sandler plays a
quarterback who was impli-
cated in poinl-shaving.
The film grossed $1 58
million domestically, proving
once again that Americans
like a good scandal (with
some intense football scenes
buill in).
Sporls and scandal go
hand- in- hand With all the
competition in sports today,
everyone always wants to be
No. 1 The pressure is always
on to be the best at every-
thing - the national champi-
ons, the No. 1 draft pick, the
captain of the team.
It's unfortunate that
sometimes people are so des-
perate lo be the best that
they resort lo cheating. Just
because more and more
people are getting caught
doesn't mean the cheating is
going to stop
tt just means people
arc going to resort to even
sneakier ways lo get ahead
in Ihe attempt to be No. 1.

Wildcats
to compete
in Big 12
finals
By Joel Aschbrenner
KANSAS STATE COLLEGIAN
The K State track and field
team looks to regain a spot
among the conference leaders
after the men and women fin-
ished 1 1th and 10th, respective
ty, in last year's Big 12 Indoor
Conference Championships
Competing Friday and Sat
urday at the Devaney Sports
Center, in Lincoln, Neb., 14
men and 28 women will repre-
sent the Wildcats.
The men's team is not ex-
pected to place high because
of the small size of the squad
Track and field coach Clifl Rov-
elto said it has always been his
philosophy to lake athletes who
are capable of making the finals
in their respective events, and
that is the kind of athlete he has
competing this weekend
lunior high jumper Scott
Sellers said he expects his team-
mates to compete well, but he
doesn't expect that to show in
the final standings.
"We're not real deep," Sell-
ers said. "On paper it may look
like we didn't do very well. I
think everyone will do well, but
it may not necessarily be con-
veyed in the results."
Sellers, who placed second
in the high jump last year at the
conference meet, said the high
jump field is veiy deep, and it
will take a special jump to win.
"A big part is staying re-
laxed, because when the bar
gets real high, I tend to try too
hard and over-do things," Sell-
ers said. "I've got to stay relaxed
and make the necessary adjust-
ments that personally 1 think
I need to make and listen to
some of the things Coach is tell-
ing me."
Along with the jumpers,
Rovelto said he looks to the
team's three heptathletes, junior
Adam Pretwell and freshmen
Moritz Cleve and Rok Derzan
ic, to do well for the men He
said ihe heptathlon could be
the deepest and most interest-
ing event of the meet
On the women's side, the
Wddcats will look to some usu-
al contributors to carry ihe load,
junior Loren Groves and senior
Laci Heller finished first and
third in the conference champi-
onships last year in the weight
throw and could finish one-two
this season Groves said throw-
ing well early will be important.
"If I open up with a legal
throw and it's decent, then that
will just be my starter, and I will
just build from there on out,"
Groves said We have a good
chance of going one and two
and helping out the team a lot."
Senior Morgan Bonds also
will provide scoring opportu-
nities for the Wildcats As the
two-time reigning Big 12 indoor
champion in the 600-yard run.
Bonds said she knows eyes will
be on her
"You know people know
who you are, but it is also kind
of nerve- wrackijig because peo-
ple are looking at you," Bonds
said. "But it also makes you feel
more confident because you
have been there, you've done it
before, and you know how the
race will go."
Bonds also is competing
in the 4x400-meter relay with
seniors Donniece Parrish and
Mamyka Honeycutt, and fresh-
man Tiara Watpool.
While the Wildcats have
not been able to capture the Big
12 Indoor Conference Cham-
pionship in its 1 1 years of ex-
istence, they have had success
in the meet The men have fin
ished among the top (our teams
five times, while the women
have placed fourth or better
eight times.
"It's going to be interesting
because there are a lot of real
ly good teams, and there are a
lol of teams about in the same
place we are, with a lot of young
people." Bonds said
After Iowa State hosted
last season's meet, the confer-
ence championships return lo
their traditional home at Ne-
braska, which will be playing
host to the meet for the eighth
time.
"They do a great job of
hosting championships," Rov-
elto said. "They've done a lot
of them. They have a great of-
ficials association, . Without
question, it is one of the best fa
cilities in ihe country."

are somewhat apathetic about
sports games, football video
games were dead The "NFL
Fever" and "2K" franchises,
both of which offered a very
user- friendly interface for new-
comers, were discontinued.
With the lack of competition
in its genre, Madden games
haven't had a reason to im
prove all that much and have
hardly changed at all besides
updated names, in the last few
years.
Right before EA's move
to monopolize the genre, the
other football games were try-
ing new concepts like "first
person mode," where gamers
could look through the helmet
of the player they were con-
trolling and various other cre-
ative ideas. Now all we have
is the repetitive "hike the ball,
pick an open receiver" option
mixed with some aspects only
the most hardcore football lov-
er would understand
"Even if I lake this at face
value, it's clear that this game
is a failure no matter how you
try and qualify it," said the
"NFL Tour" review in Game
Informer magazine
Beyond Madden, EA has
squelched another poten-
tial hit game franchise, the
fames Bond series Any gam
er who owned a Nintendo 64
played "Goldeneye 007' When
customers demanded an im-
proved first-person shoot-
er, EA bought the rights and
started making its own game
with new ideas thai eventually
failed.
Despite EA's obvious fail-
ing, they have prevailed in
some other areas that remain
competitive, such as the rac-
ing genre with its "Need For
Speed" series. EA also has en-
tertained war-game fanatics
with "Battlefield 2" on the per
sonal-computer platform and
various others
EA should open up the
N FL genre to other companies
again, as competition drives
continually improved prod-
ucts, and Madden games defi-
nitely could be improved

Quaint
collections
Accumulations bare faculty, students' likes
By Sarah Burford
KANSAS STATE COLLEGIAN
Each one of the Brenner family's
Corvettes has a name on its license
plate Bradley, Brien, Jenni, and soon,
Baileigh - or "Bailee" for the sake
of space Parents Jenni and Mark
Brenner dubbed the family's Cama
ro "Blake" after their oldest son
lenni Brenner, an aerobics in
structor at K- State, said her husband,
has been collecting cars since he was
16, when he restored a 1967 Rally
Sport Camaro He had antique tags
made with his children's and wife's
names on them for the cars he owns,
which are more than 30 years old.
Brenner's cars make up just one
of the interesting collections that can
be found around K-State )esse Grim-
mett, freshman in computer science,
collects Scooby-Doo memorabilia.
Katie Fooshee, sophomore in fam-
ily studies and human services, has
covered her dorm loft in name lags.
Each of the collections had different
origins, and all are still growing
|enni Brenner said her husband
has collected 13 cars lhat he has re
stored or purchased from friends He
has only sold a few of them
"It's more a passion and a hob-
by lhan any type of money matter,"
Brenner said
Brenner said when she and her
husband were dating, he picked her
up in a 1980 Corvette for their first
date On Ihe second dale, he brought
a Cadillac; the third time, he was
driving a different Cadillac Brenner
said she had grown curious, and fi-
nally asked, "How many cars do you
have'" He owned seven at the time.
Brenner said their children as-
sume they eventually will own the
cars that have their names on the
plates. Their 13-year-old son, Blake,
is only three years away from getting
a driver's license, and his heart is al
ready set on Ihe Camaro, Brenner
said.
Grimmett started accumulating
Scooby-Doo items when he was in
sixth grade His friends all gave him
Scooby-Doo gifts for his birthday
thai year, giving him a new hobby
Grimmett said he has liked
watching Seooby- Doo cartoons since
he was little and saw ihe first show-
ing of Ihe movie in high school A girl
sitting near him in the theater even
thought he was Shaggy, his favorite
character.
"lis a loss-up," Grimmett said,
trying to determine his favorite char
Above Jenni and Mark Brtmwr, Manhattan residents, display two Corvettes out
of the 1 3 cars they have purchased and collected over the years Mark Brenner has
been collecting cars since he was 16 Jenni and Mark Brenner have cars all over
Manhattan, and they own Corvettes from many past decades.
Top: Katl* FoothM, sophomore in family studies and human services, has a
few of the plethora of name tags acquired from different events like Christian
Challenge and Navigators on her loft. Fooshee also has collected name tags at
parties and Bible studies to add to her collection.
acter "But Shaggy lakes it"
Key chains and key rings, about
20 stuffed Scoubys, several alarm
clocks and an almost full-sized lock-
er comprise his collection, which is
worth about $1,000.
"I probably will sell it," Grim-
mett said. "I'll wait for it to get im-
portant,"
He said the collection has been
in storage since his freshman year of
high school. But his mom still man
ages to add to it whenever she can
A car freshener and a WWSD (What
Would Scooby-Doo?) bumper stick
er are some of the latest additions.
"Whenever my mom is out,
she'll grab something small," Grim-
mett said.
Fooshee's name tags go beyond
the normal conception of collect-
ibles. She said she gets than mostly
from Christian Challenge and Nav-
igators events, but also collects tags
frum parties or Bible studies.
"I just ask people if I can have
their name tags," she said. "Usually
it's people I know, but sometimes it's
people I don't know, and they'll just
look at me weird"
She said she has covered one
side of her loft almost completely in
sticky name lags, and is working on
the side facing the wall.
"I got tired ofhow boring my loft
looked, and wanted to do something
that was unique," Fooshee said "I'm
slowly working my way up. It's defi-
nitely a work in progress"
Some of Fooshee's favorites
have more than just names on Ihcm.
Name tags from Challenge, for in-
stance, will sometimes have pictures
drawn in the comer that correspond
with questions like "What's your fa-
vorite book''" or "What would you
want lo have if you were trapped on
an island'''
"One night I left Challenge wilh
like five or six name tags on me,"
Fooshee said "People were like, 'So
who are you"'"'
Finishee has started using Mod
Podge lo stick ihe lags un her loft,
and said she hopes to continue work-
ing on it this semester
Whether it's made of name tags,
Scooby-Doo memorabilia or cars,
each of these collections exhibit some
kind of passion or interest
"I laugh." Brenner said about her
husband's love for cars "1 know it's
his passion, his love I just accept it
because that's part of him"
MOVIE REVIEW
Semi-Pro predictable of Ferrell but better than normal performances
"Semi-Pro"
Rtiitu fay armd*n Pfatfftr
The Will Ferrell sports
movie is slowly becoming a
comedy sub- gen re of its own.
"Semi-Pro," which opens
today, joins "Talladega Nights:
The Ballad of Ricky Bob-
by," "Blades of Glory," and
"Kicking and Screaming" on
the list of Will Ferrell come-
dies aspiring to rise above the
entertainment level of an ex-
tended "Saturday Night Live"
skit.
"Semi -Pro" is the next
evolution of this profitable
but predictable comedy tem-
plate.
The plot follows |ackie
Moon (Ferrell), ihe owner-
coach player of the American
Basketball Association's Flint
(Mich) Tropics. An impend-
ing merger with the National
Basketball Association causes
Moon to rally his team in
hopes of surviving the merg-
er.
Moon begins by trading a
washing machine for a former
NBA star (Woody Harrelson)
and creating ridiculous pro-
motions to sell tickets.
As a sports movie, the
plot is fairly predictable. The
team stinks, but a couple d»s
es of inspiration help Ihe play
ers turn everything around.
Of course, anyone seeing a
Will Ferrell comedy for the
outstanding plot is already
looking in the wrong place.
The storytelling does take
a step forward from previ
ous Ferrell films by giving his
character less development
Usually, a lack of character
development would be a bad
thing, but by centering the
dramatic story lines around
Woody Harrelson's character,
Ferrell is allowed to stay lik-
able without becoming tire
some
The rest of the support
ing cast provides (he co medic
boost required to lift "Semi
Pro" above the standard com-
edy
An unintenlional Rus-
sian roulette scene provides a
good sense of the entire mov-
ie. It isn't anything particular-
ly creative and everyone in
the audience knows what's
going to happen, but it's still
funny

Renowned
musician
to perform
By Eric Davis
KANSAS STATE COLLEGIAN
Marvin Hamlisch. the only
living person to win a Grammy,
Oscar, Emmy, Tony, Golden
Globe and Pulitzer Prize, will
perform at 7:30 p.m. Sunday in
McCain Auditorium
Hamlisch will be appearing
on behalf of the Friends of Mc-
Cain, an organization thai rais-
es money to support McCain
Auditorium performances and
projects
Todd Holmberg, executive
director of McCain, said Ham-
lisch was extremely popular in
the 1970s and '80s.
"A lot of younger folks
might not have heard of him.
but he used to be a household
name," Holmberg said
Holmberg said the stage
won't be full of performers, just
Hamlisch and a piano with an
occasional guest singer. Ham-
lisch also will use his skills as
an improvisational comedian to
entertain the crowd
"He will probably poke
gentle fun about being in the
middle of Kansas." Holmberg
said. "Every concert with him is
different."

MYERS | Gen. returns
to retain Kansas roots

the retired guy." he said.
Almost a month after
Myers retired JCS chairman,
he accepted the position as
foundation professor at for-
mer Defense Secretary Don-
bid Rumsfeld's Landon Lec-
ture on Nov 9, 2005 Myers
said he decided to return to
K-State because he grew up as
t Kansan and missed driving
through the Flint Hills and
going to a land grant univer-
lity
Myers said he was nev-
er stationed near Kansas after
serving in ROTC program at
K State until toward the end
of his career. He said he ap-
preciated his time at K-State
and the university's continual
recognition of his career ac-
complishments.
"My wife's from Manhat-
tan, so we wanted something
to keep our Kansas roots
alive, and I thought this was
perfect.'' he said
Myers left Manhattan last
Friday and won't be back for
two months When he returns,
he will talk to classes, ROTC
students and maybe Fort Ri-
ley soldiers and officers. He
might have time to spend a
few minutes in his bare office,
but that would be only for a
break from his full schedule.
He said the university has
plans to build a military histo-
ry institute and hopes to move
his office there, Then. Myers
said, he hoped to visit more
often and bring in important
files and other memorabilia to

Adams said the main dif-
ference between the two for

uses the Blu ray format and
was a big factor in choosing
Blu-ray over HD. he said
Recent K Slate graduate
Tom Swift said he is content
with Wal Mart's recent deci-
sion.
"This just means now
there's really only one format
that people have to choose
from" he said its better for
me because that's the kind of
format that 1 had"
Swift, who owns a Play-
station 3, said although con-
sumers now have Blu-ray as a
choice, it is the belter decision
as far as quality.
"As far as quality, Blu-
ray does hold more - the HD
DVD players were just cheap-
er than Blu-ray," he said
Swift said the price of
Blu ray DVD players are de-
clining and the discs have al-
ways been the same price as
HD DVDs. If people are inter-
ested in gaming, Blu-ray is the
way to go. he said
WAGE I Reitz vows to introduce bill again
Continued From P19* 1
not share the same concern
for the bill. He said the asso-
ciation did not think the bill
was necessary because few
workers in the state actually
make the minimum wage in-
come
a "Who's going to work
for that?" he said "Nobody
It's a pointless law People
get all up in arms about it.
but so what? Nobody's mak-
ing $2.65, everybody's mak-
ing over minimum wage any-
way We're not against peo-
ple making a decent wage by
any means, but we've con-
tended with this for some
time with the Department of
Labor as far as who's really
paying $2.65 an hour"
Fayler said those most
ly working at minimum wage
are tipped employees who,
when tips are accounted for,
make more than the mini-
mum. If the bill were passed.
he said employers with tipped
employees would have been
forced to increase their base
pay by $1.50 per hour, which
Fayler said isn't business
friendly
"That money's got to
come from somewhere," he
said 'So they're looking at
raising prices to cover it. It's
also counterproductive to oth-
er employees that are making
over the minimum wage, be-
cause they're saying, 'Well, he
got a pay increase, Where's
mine?' It's inflationary for the
overall pay scale "
But K- Slate econom-
ics professor Jim Ragan said
if the bill had passed, the ef-
fects in terms of higher prices
would have been mild
Ragan said if wage rales
increase, the cost of business
also will increase, ultimately
increasing costs for consum-
er However, state minimum
wage only applies to the small
percentage of businesses that
do not engage in interstate
commerce and those whose
sales are less than $500,000
annually Those who do not
meet one of those descrip
tions are subject to feder-
al minimum wage, which is
$5.85 an hour. Credit card
transactions are considered
interstate commerce
Though the number ot
Kansans receiving the state
minimum wage is small, they
should not be overlooked, Ke-
itz said. He countered Fayler's
claim by saying there are cur-
rently 17,000 people in Kansas
who are being paid $2 65 an
hour, an amount that he said
is impossible to make a living
on.
If the minimum was in-
creased, Reitz said it not only
would give those workers an
opportunity to get by, but also
might create competition for
businesses participating in in-
terstate commerce, prompt-
ing them to increase wages as
well.
I think it's really a polit-
ical issue more than econom-
ic issue." said Ragan "A [dif-
ferent] way government could
help with low wage workers
to increase their pay would
be through some alternative
program make it possible
for workers to gel additional
schooling'
Fayler also offered an al-
ternative to Ihe bill and said
the slate minimum wage
should be repealed altogeth-
er and reverted to the feder-
al amount. But Keilz said he
is a firm believer in keeping
and increasing the slate mini-
mum
Tin disappointed it
didn't put" he said, "but we'll
try it again next year, just like
we did this year, and just like
we did last year."

"It's a team effort so if I

The December 2007 ice storm and an abundance of snow this winter has put the parking garage project behind schedule.
Parking garage behind schedule due to winter weather
By Clifford Watktni
KANSAS STATE COLLEGIAN
Dirt and large ma-
chinery, including a crane
that can be seen blocks
away from campus, were a
constant part of the scene
in front of the K-State
Student Union for most
of the winter months.
"Due to weather, we
may run a little past," said
Lawrence Murray, head
garage site contractor for
Murray and Sons Con-
struction Company Inc.,
of the completion sched-
ule. The projected com-
pletion date for the ga-
rage is still December
2008, but the ice storm in
December and abundance
of snow did not help with
the progress and comple
lion of the garage, Murray
said
AN ANSWER TO THE
PARKING PROBLEM?
Even when the garage
is completed, it is not cer-
tain that the $15.9 million
structure will solve the
parking issues at K State,
despite the long wait and
inconveniences the garage
has caused for students,
faculty and staff.
Gary Leitnaker. assis-
tant vice president of hu-
man resources at park
ing services, said the new
parking garage will not
necessarily solve all the
parking issues at K-Statc.
"The new garage will
certainly help in the cen-
tral core of campus," Leit-
naker said. "But will the
new parking garage real-
ly meet parking needs for
the whole campus? We
will have to just wait and
see."
When completed,
the new garage boasts
four new levels of park-
ing space with 1,334 new
COURTESY PHOTO
The projected completion date for the garage is December 2008, contractors said. The new
three-level building will hold 1,534 new parking stalls.
parking stalls
"This will be an enor-
mous increase to what we
previously had," said Lyd-
ia Peek, student body
vice president and senior
in secondary education-
mathematics, "The new
garage is really going to
help because it will open
up spaces in other areas,
but will not solve all the
parking problems ,"

Students show support by registering to donate blood marrow
By Shell* Ellis
~ KANSAS STATE COLLB.IAN
Bria Chism was a bright-
eyed girl ready to conquer the
world, until the African -Amer
ican 6 year old was diagnosed
with Chronic Myeloid Leuke-
mia
Her family searched for a
blood marrow donor in the
U.S., but found a shortage of
African -American donors and
learned matches are usual-
ly found in the recipient's eth-
nic community. After resorting
to an overseas search, Bria re-
ceived a successful transplant,
but it was too late, and other
aspects of the illness had over-
come the kindergartner's frag-
ile body; she died in her grand
father's arms on July 2, 1999
Because of this tragedy,
The Bria T Chism foundation
was created by Bria's grand par
cnts, Walter and Gail Chism, to
increase awareness of the need
of bone marrow donations in
the minority communities.
The Chisms came to the K-
Stale Student Union Courtyard
Sunday afternoon to prompt
students to register to donate
blood marrow.
Only 20 percent of black
people find a bone marrow
match, while 50 percent of His
panics and 80 percent of Cau-
casians do, according to the
Heart of America Bone Mar
row Registry
Gloria Conner, president
of Zeta Phi Beta sorority Inc.,
said she met the founders of
the organization .it i KU blood
marrow drive, and decided it
was something she wanted to
bring to Manhattan. Beta Sig-
ma Chi Christian Sorority co-
sponsored the event.

es, said the Sunday drive suc-

A proposed bill in a Kansas
Senate committee that would
establish a medical marijuana
defense act failed to advance
further nearly Ant weeks after
its introduction.
After testimony from sup
porters and opponents on Feb
11, the Senate Committee on
Health Care Strategies mem-
bers chose to not advance the
proposed bill to a stage of com-
mittee debate. The legislation is
now considered "dead" for the
2007 Kansas legislative session,
but those in favor and against
the issue continue their debate
and stances
THE PROPOSED
LEGISLATION
Senate Committee on
Health Care Strategies vice
chairman Pete Brungardt, R-
Salina, said the proposed legis-
lation died in committee Friday
because of today's Kansas legis-
lative session turnaround
The legislature now is in
the second year of its bienni-
uiii. which means all proposed
bills in either the Kansas House
or Senate had to leave the Sen-
ate on or before Friday An ex-
ception to the rule takes place
if proposed legislation is intro-
duced in the Ways or Means
Committee or Federal State of
Affairs, in which case the bill
would have until the end of the
legislative session, Brungardt
said
Health Strategies commit
tee members had a general con-
sent that more medically effec-
tive and legal drugs exist, Brun-
gardt said, and Tne proposed
legislation received no further
debate or discussion in commit
tee.
"The impression you get
with casual talk from members
is that it was not supported,"
Brungardt said.
The proposed Senate bill
would be known as the Medical
Marijuana Defense Act, accord-
ing to the proposed legislation.
The proposed bill defined what
constitutes a "debilitating medi-
cal condition" and "written cer-
tification" from a physician
According to the proposed
Senate bill, "debilitating medical
condition" might include, but is
not limited to, one or more of
the following:
-Cancer, glaucoma, positive
status fur HIV, AIDS, hepatitis
C, amyotrophic lateral sclerosis,
Crohn's disease, agitation of Al-
zheimer's disease or the treat-
ment of these cowditions; or
-A chronic or debilitat-
ing disease or its treatment that
produces one or more of the
following Cachexia or wast-
ing syndrome, severe pain; se-
vere nausea, seizures, including,
but not those limited to, those
characteristic of epilepsy; blad-
der spasticity or inflammation
or severe and persistent muscle
spasms, including, but not lim-
ited lo, those characteristic ol

1 879: U.S. GEOLOGICAL SURVEY CREATED
ilUSGS
vrtr»n ' ' ■<.; ivim/iI
Congress established the U.S.
Geological Survey, an organization that
played a pivotal role in the exploration
and development of the West.
Though the rough geographical
outlines of much of the American West
were known by 1879, the government still had astonishingly little
detailed knowledge of the land. Earlier federal exploratory missions
under men like Ferdinand Hayden and John Wesley Powell had
begun to fill in the map, yet much remained to be done. Congress
decided to transform the earlier system into a permanent govern-
ment agency, known as the United States Geological Survey.
TUESDAY
1933: FDR INAUGURATED
< At the height of the Great
Depression, Franklin Delano
Roosevelt was inaugurated as the
32nd U.S. president.
In his famous inaugural
address, delivered outside the
east wing of the U.S. Capitol,
Roosevelt outlined his 'New
Deal' — an expansion of the
federal government as an Instru-
ment of employment oppor-
tunity and welfare — and told
Americans, "the only thing we
have to fear is fear itself
It was a rainy day in Wash-
ington, and gusts of rain blew over Roosevelt as he spoke, he
delivered a speech that radiated optimism and competence, and
a broad majority of Americans united behind their new president
and his radical economic proposals to lead the nation out of the
Great Depression
WEDNESDAY
1963: HULA-HOOP PATENTED
The Hula-Hoop, a hip-swiveling toy that became a huge fad across
America when it was first marketed by Wham-0 in 1958, was patented by

events.
FRIDAY
1876: BELL PATENTS TELEPHONE
On this day in 1B76, 29-year-old Alexan-
der Graham Bell received a patent for his revo

The Scottish-born Bell worked in London with
his father, Melville Bell, who developed Vis-
ible Speech, a written system used to teach
speaking to the deaf.
In the 1870s, the Bells moved to
Boston, where the younger Bell
found work as a teacher at the Pem-
berton Avenue School for the Deaf.
He later married Mabel Hubbard,

New health insurance uses savings to target young, healthy singles
By Rebecca Perez
KANSAS STATE COLLEGIAN
The stereotypical college
students are young, healthy
and single. Because of these
factors, they have a new op-
lion when it comes to choos-
ing health insurance. There is
a type of health insurance (hat
is specifically designed with
this demographic in mind
Health Savings Account
plans are the latest type of
health insurance that specif-
ically markets itself toward
young insurance buyers.
According to the United
States Department of the Trca
suiy's Web site, "Health Sav-
ings Accounts (HSAs) were
created by the Medicare bill
signed by President Bush on
December 8, 2003, and are de-
signed to help individuals save
for future qualified medical
and retiree health expenses on
a tax-free basis"
GET INSURANCE EARLY
Fred Brock, assistant pro-
fessor of journal ism and au
trior of "Health Care on l,css
Than You Think," said health
savings accounts are for the
young, healthy and wealthy
Brock said students
should buy health care during
their senior year because they
will be entering the work force
and will more than likely be
losing parent's health benefits
by this time.
He recommended getting
an MSA and contributing to it,
so that when a student is out
of school, they have health in-
surance already set up.
Those who are insured
pay a low monthly fee and
contribute toward a savings
account that helps to pay of-
fice visits, hospitalization and
other plan- specific items like
prescriptions. HSA plans that
pay in full once deductible lim-
its arc reached are available.
"The money you save on
premiums can be put into your
tax-favored health savings ac-
count [HSA] You can with
draw the money to help pay
your deductible or other qual-
ified health care expenses
Once your deductible is met,
the insurance plan starts pay
ing for covered expenses." ac-
cording to the United Health
Care insurance Web site.
ROLL-OVER INCENTIVE
One incentive of the ac-
count is that if the money in
the HSA isn't completely used
that year, it rolls over into the
next year
This means students
could ostensibly put less in
their HSA the next year. Us-
ing the rollover method each
successive year would mean
less money being spent on
health care.
The UHC site also states,
"Your unspent savings roll
over year after year" The roll-
over system in HSAs is benefi-
cial when trying to save mon-
ey on health insurance, but it
is the interest earned on the
HSA combined with tax de-
ductions and deferments that
are the biggest draw for this
plan.
HSA users also can with-
draw money from their ac-
count tax-free and without
withdrawal fees for medical
items like eyeglasses. Accord-
ing to UHC's Web site, "Your
health savings grow tax-de-
ferred, and can be withdrawn
tax-free to help pay your de-
ductible or for other qualified
health care expenses like pre-
scriptions, vision, or dental
care."
When the HSA buyer
reaches age 65, they can with-
draw funds for non-medical
reasons without penalty, but
they must pay the income tax.
The penalty for withdraw-
al of funds for non-medical
reasons is often 10 percent for
HSA users who are not 65, ac-
cording to a recent Washing-
ton Post article
HSA insurance can act
similarly to an Independent
Retirement Account. Some
HSAs allow employees to
contribute pre-tax dollars, but
independently purchased in-
surance must be post-tax dol-
lars, according to a Washing-
ton Post article.
Some employers will also
make matching contributions
to HSA plans just like 40TKs
Also like 401Ks, HSAs can be
rolled over from one employer
to another.
ACCOUNT DOWNFALLS
However, there are a few
drawbacks. If female students
plan on having a family soon
they should be aware that,
pregnancy and birth are not
covered in most plans, but
shopping around might find
an HSA that covers this.
Children aren't covered
in some of the plans, and in-
fants who need many visits to
the doctor for immunizations
and checkups can quickly go
through a family's deductible.
If students have any kind
of health problems that require
multiple doctor visits, hospi-
tal stays or prescriptions, this
can easily go through all of the
savings, which ends up costing
more than traditional medical
insurance, and it puts the stu-
dent behind the next year
Starting the plans initial-
ly is expensive compared to
more traditional insurance
Starting an HSA the first
year will run a buyer a mini-
mum of $1,100 for the deduct -
DRAMATIC GROWTH OF HEALTH SAVINGS ACCOUNTS

- 3.2 million - Seven -fold inoe«e to Individual* covered by MSA type insur-
ance plans (November 2004 to December 200SI.
- 31 percent - Previously uninsured individuals buying insurance.
- 33 percent - Small businesses not previously offering coveiage.
About 50 percent ■ Age 40 or older.
• 1 4 million by 201 - Treasury Department projection of MSA policies (cov-
ering 25 million to 30 million people) - based on current law.
- 21 million by 2010 - Treasury Department HSA policies estimates rise by
SO percent (covering 40 to 45 million people) ■ based on the president's
health care initiative
- United Slates Department of the Treasury
ible for a single person.
The max contribution to
a deductible for a single per-
son is $2,900, according to
the US Treasury Department
Web site.
If the deductible is high,
then the monthly payments
are often lower, but that is de-
pendent on what policy a per-
son chooses.
Brock said he recom-
mends checking out www.
ehealthinsurance.com when
looking for health insurance
because they have many dif-
ferent types of providers and
plans
If the HSA user doesn't
have the money to put into
their savings account, then all
doctor visits, prescriptions and
hospitalization will be out of
pocket until the deductible is
met
It is possible to purchase
deductible insurance for the
first few days of opening the
account on some plans Unit-
ed Health Care offers deduct-
ible insurance for a one- turn'
fee of $40

HIT OR MISS
The edrtorW beard select Hit w Miss topic and writes them
after a majority vote This b th* Colegurt'i orndil opinion.
HIT | WOMEN'S EQUESTRIAN TEAM
The K-State women's equestrian team
won its meet last Friday against Okla
homa State, The 10-9 victory puts the
team at 5-5 this season.
MISS | CURSE OF THE BLACK JERSEYS
There seems to be bad luck when the
K-State men's basketball team wears its
black uniforms. The Wildcats have only
beaten Savannah State in the wretched
black uniforms.
HIT | SPRING BREAK COUNTDOWN
Less than two weeks remain until the
start of spring break. Students just
have to pull through a few more tests,
midterms and projects before enjoying
a week of freedom.
MISS | LOW VOTER TURNOUT
This year's Student Governing Associa-
tion primary election was 746 votes down
from last year's total. This is nearly 20 per-
cent less than the number of votes cast
last year, which is only about 1 percent of
the total student-body population.
HIT | BRIAT.CHISM FOUNDATION
The Bria T Chism Foundation and
other similar groups that promote re-
search and awareness for patients
needing bone marrow transplants are
educating people on how to volunteer
and donate much-needed marrow
MISS j NO MEDICAL MARIJUANA
The proposed senate bill for the establish-
ment of the medical marijuana defense
act failed to make it out of the Commit-
tee on Health Care Strategies in Kansas
Maybe next legislative session, the bill
will actually attract some discussion.
Crosswalk chaos
Walkers, driven should display courtesy
AUBREE
CASPER
There is a crosswalk crisis
on our campus and in this town
Anyone
who has read
the Fourum in
the last week
or simply
walked across
any street
near campus
is probably
fed up with
the lack of
communica-
tion and care
between driv
ers and walk-
ers.
Jacob Renner, freshman in
mechanical engineering, said.
"I was walking across Denison
[Street] by Throckmorton [Hall],
and I had to start running be-
cause I thought 1 was going to be
hit"
This isn't only an issue at
K State. Nationwide, public safe-
ty officials are taking note of
such problems, but demographi-
cally, K State students are a rare
breed of pedestrian and driver
trouble-makers
According to a recent ar-
tide in USA Today, pedestrian
deaths in the United Slates have
reached a rate of one every 1 10
minutes, and one injury every
nine minutes However, statistics
also illustrate that a large per-
centage of pedestrians involved
in vehicle accidents are either el-
derly or young children - not
18- to 25-year-old college stu-
dents.
Some students even joke
about getting hit and using the
settlement money to pay off col-
lege-related debts. Well, contin-
ue this pattern of poor driving
and walking on campus and you
might just get your wish
Here s the deal, pedestrians
- if you aren't using those nifty,
white stripes on the road to cross
a street, you're fair game Law.
com said jaywalking is "walking
across a street outside of marked
crosswalks, and not at a corner,
and '<>r against a signal light.
The Web site also discussed
jaywalking fines If there is ve-
hicle traffic or clear markings
of a place to cross, this is a traf-
fic misdemeanor subject to fine
and may be [but not conclusive
ly| contributory negligence in I he
event of injury to the jaywalker
by a vehicle"
Just because five other peo-
ple arc doing it doesn't make it
any less illegal Getting tickets
from campus police is not an all-
around pleasing solution to this
problem
However, there are ways to
avoid this problem - starting the
second you leave for your next
class. Use the crosswalks. There
is one every 75-100 feet on cam
pus streets, strategically placed
to be .most convenient and flow
with most students' paths Being
1 5 feel down the street from one
doesn't count
Drivers shouldn't be expect-
ed to watch for people crossing
at every point Secondly, if cars
are waiting for you to cross, walk
faster Please don't take forever
Drivers are trying to get some
where on time, just like you.
As a final thought for drivers
- slow down The speed limit is
20 miles per hour on campus for
a reason. This will also extend
the life of your breaks and keep
you from having to screech your
tires seconds before you come
close to killing a pedestrian
So when getting around Manhat

tan. particularly around and on
campus, make mature decisions
on foot and behind the wheel.

zy drivers and pedestrians in the
first place

These are truly exciting

dia critic Marshall McLu-
han once
wrote, "If

it is obso-
lete" Now,
more than
ever, this
rings true
Technolog-
ical inno-
vation is at
an all-time
high.
With
the world
at our fin-
gertips
it is easier than ever to live
a sedentary lifestyle, espe
daily on a college campus
There are so many ways to
stay locked up all day - like
studying, surfing the Inter-
net and watching TV - that
exercising on a daily basis
can easily disappear from
our list of priorities
There is a significant
problem with this apathy
BLAKE
OSBORN
that is creeping into our
lives.
According to an article
in Time magazine, 60 per-
cent of Americans do not
exercise regularly.
"College is the first big
transition in life, and it be-
comes an excuse not to ex-
ercise." said Steven Bray,
kinesiologist at McMaster
University, in the article.
Bray tracked 127 col-
lege students and discov-
ered college students
in their first year ex-
ercise significantly
less than the year be
fore.
Thus can be at-
tributed to the ten-
dency of humans to
abandon old rules as
they enter new stages
of life. Being a fresh
man in college and
away from the eye of
parents, makes self
indulgence somewhat
inevitable
For students eat-
ing at the dining cen-
ters on campus, learning the
immense amount of con-
trol it lakes to not overin-
dulge in the pizza, ice cream
and endless array of desserts
offered at practically every
meal can be a challenge
I have learned how
much will power il takes to
maintain a nutritious diet,
and 1 can honestly say that.
with all these options, il is
not easy
These sugary
Christina Forsberg | COLLEGIAN
items like chocolate ice
cream and butter-dipped
trench toast smothered in
syrup certainly hold their
power
This makes it all the
more vital to get a dai-
ly workout. With the stress

dents a part-time job, getting
through the

served the disparity between

In his book "Last Child

children's disconnection

decrease in physical activity.
With spring around the

Kansas Senate considers apology to
American Indians for mistreatment
By Brandon MdUee
. KANSAS STATE COLLEGIAN
The Kansas Senate is
considering a resolution is-
•uing a formal apology to
American Indians for previ-
ous governmental actions
The resolution would
mean the Kansas legislature
takes responsibility for the
mistreatment of American
Indians in Kansas.
"Mistreatment" includes
brbken treaties, forced re-
moval of tribes and peoples
from their homelands and re-
moval of children from their
families to try and assimilate
them, according to the pro-
posed resolution.
A similar resolution, intro-
duced by US Sen Sam Brown-
back, R- Kan., has already passed
in (he U.S. Senate.
Leslie Hannah, assistant
professor of arte, science and
business at K State Saline.
and a Cherokee Indian, said
the apology for broken trea-
ties was one of the biggest
points of the resolution.
"The broken treaties is
the immediate issue, and it's
certainly the most dominate
with all the Indian nations."
he said "We have treaties
that are less than 50 years
old that have been violat-
ed These are promises made
from one nation to another,
which one nation is obligat-
ed to fulfill, and they were vi-
olated.
"Everybody knew they
were violated too, even the
federal government knew
they were violating them
while doing it. And now the
mere acknowledgement, that
'Yes, we did you dirty.' is at
least a starting point."
State Sen. Julia Lynn, R-
Olathe, introduced the reso-
lution after a group of people
in southeast Kansas involved
in developing relations with
American Indians presented
the subject to her.
"They spent a lot of time
in catching me up with the
reality of what occurred with
the breaking of our agree-
ments with the tribes years
ago," Lynn said, "and these
are very peaceful people thai
really believe a formal apol-
ogy would be one of the first
steps in building a healthy
relationship, so that we can
do some work on repairing
what has happened in the
past.
"Because when there is
not a formal acknowledge-
ment of wrongdoing, it causes
an inability to communicate
It creates a blockage"
Lynn is chairwoman of
the Senate Joint Committee
on Children's Issues.
When the time comes for
the Senate to handle the chil-
dren-issues session, she said.
She aims to propose most
ly education programs for
American Indian children.
Some think an apology is
long overdue, considering the
long history between the two
nations.
"Nobody has been inter-
ested in [arranging an apolo-
gy], and 1 think that people
think that you arc jumping in
to some political areas that
many don't want to get in"
Lynn said.
She also addressed the
reasons and thoughts on why
the apology had not been is-
sued previously
"It is also a lot of misun-
derstanding; you really have
to understand the problem
and the reason," she said "I
spend a lot of time explain-
ing it, and you get it or you
don't"
As a step in the right di-
rection toward a better re-
lationship between two na-
tions, this resolution brings
hope and justification to
some
"Personally, it gives me a
sense of relief," Hannah said
"I feel as an American Indi-
an who has been trying to
voice my opinion on things
like this for many years, I feel
justified in what 1 was doing
1 want one side to acknowl-
edge and the Indians to say
we weren't angels ourselves,
and we weren't "
"I want one side to stop
playing the victimizes and
the other side to stop playing
the victim and just put this
stuff down and work togeth-
er to build on the future, " he
said "I think it can be done.
I guess that is a very optimis-
tic answer, but 1 like to find
the silver lining in anything,
no matter how dark the cloud
may be."
Professor educates students, citizens
about American Indian culture, history
Hannah
By Deborah Muhwezi
KANSAS STATE COLLEGIAN
Leslie Hannah's mis-
sion is to educate and destroy
misconceptions U.S. citizens
might have
regarding
American In-
dians.
" Many
general til
iiens of
the United
States don't
know much
at all about
American In-
dians," said
Hannah, an assistant profes
sor of arts, science and busi-
ness al K- State -Sal in a "They
think Ihey do, but they really
don't."
Hannah is a Cherokee
Indian from Tahlequah, Okla
He said he and his broth-
er were raised in a fairly tra
ditional Cherokee household
where they were influenced
by the traditional practices of
their elders.
Hannah has been turned
the "Myth Buster" who repre-
sents American Indians
"People will ask ques-
tions about American Indians,
and its usually from a movie
or a mascot," he said "They
tend to think that these imag-
es are historical documents,
and this is not the case.
"Many of our fami-
ly members practiced tra-
ditional Cherokee ways, so
we were exposed to it from a
young age"
Hannah has worked at
K-State for three years and is
involved with the Manhattan
and Salina campuses He trav-
els between Salina and Man-
hattan at least once a week
for various purposes, includ-
ing hi* involvement on Facul-
ty Senate, the General Educa-
tion Task Force and Interna-
tional Activities Committee
Recently. Hannah traveled to
Manhattan to give presenta-
tions in several classes.
"He's very engaging with
the students," said Nancy
Muturi. assistant professor of
journalism and mass commu-
nications "I think that's the
whole idea - lo get them in-
volved from the beginning to
the end"
Muturi had Hannahcome
speak to her Media. Kace and

his presentation in her class,
Muturi said she had observed

his popularity on campus.

Soon after his presen-

were eager to gel involved
and learn more about the cul-
ture. He was able to make a
big impact on everyone - in-

viewed American Indians,
she said
"We cannot make a so-
cial change without under-
standing who we're dealing
with," she said "We need to
be able to understand Amer-
ican Indians before we think
about changing."
Alisha McKoy had the
opportunity to hear Hannah
speak in her American Eth
nic Studies class last semes-
ter. McKoy, junior in pre-
hcalth information manage
ment, said she didn't realize
the amount of stereotypes the
American Indian culture fac-
es in regards to mascots and
movies As a result. McK-
oy said Hannah was able to
make her develop a respect
for the American Indian cul-
ture
"I really didn't know
they had thai much of a
struggle," she said "My view
was just very stereotypical,
but he opened my eyes to go
deeper than that"
Hannah said he wants
lo continue to have an effect
on the community in order
to educate minds about bis
culture. Before he leaves K-
State, one of his main goals
is to see more native stud-
ies classes in Manhattan and
Salina
"We need to give stu-
dents more opportunities to
learn about other people," he
said. "1 think students need
to have exposure to other
ways of thinking, and I'd like
to be a part of that"

The sting of revenge
KU defends
home court
against K-State
By Wendy Haun
KANSAS 3UTBOOUKUH
LAWRENCE - Going into Satur-
days game. Kansas knew what it had to
do. especially after dropping two of its last
four conference (fames.
Five Kansas players scored in dou-
ble-figures as dead-on layftawk shooting
from the perimeter sank K Stale Satur-
day, 88-74, in Allen Fieldhouse
"They're a championship-caliber bas-
ketball team protecting their home court
against a team that previously beat them,"
said K State coach Frank Martin, "They
came out and played the way I expect-
ed them to 1 was proud of my guys for ...
staying the course"
Freshman forward Michael Beasley
scored 39 points on 1 1 of 23 shooting, but
no other Wildcat could get inlo double-
figures. K-Stale (18-10, 8-6 Big 12 Con-
ference) iumped out to a 2-0 lead on free
throws from senior guard Blake Young af-
ter he was fouled by KU senior forward
Darnell laekson. KU then went on a 9-2
(ear, capped off by a two- point basket by
sophomore forward Darrell Arthur at the
16:21 mark.
They played with a lot of energy,
especially at the beginning," said senior
guard Gent Stewart. "They came out and
jumped on us early and it was hard to
overcome. It's hard to go on the road as it
is and any time you get yourself down in a
hole, it's going to be really hard."
Rum (26-3, 11-3 Big 12) would ex-
tend its first half lead to 21 on a three-
point shut by junior guard Brandon Rush
al the 9:35 mark K-State cut the lead to
12 at half, but KU came out in the second
half on a 1 1 -0 run capped off by a dunk by
1;kU>ii to take KU's lead to 23.
The closest K State got in the second
half was 13, on a three -point shot by ju-
nior forward Darren Kent.
"For us to start the second half the
way we did with the lack of effort and fo-
cus was just uncalled for," Martin said
' It was the difference in the game, right
there."

Unusual about Dietz 's

the crazed

The college atmosphere

individual players.
Incidents like this are oc-

Sellers, Groves capture Big 1 2 titles in Nebraska
EQUESTRIAN
By Jo*) Axrtbrenner
KANSAS STATE COLLICIAN
Aided by record-setting
performances from juniors
Scott Sellers and Loren Groves,
the Wildcat men placed eighth
and the women finished ninth
in the Big 12 Conference In-
door Championships in Lin-
coln, Neb
Clearing the bar at 7-6,
Sellers broke his own K-State
indoor high-jump record and
gave the men their only event
victory He made his first two
jumps easily, and then he strug-
gled to clear a height of 7-03.75,
before recording his best jump
on his third and final attempt
Sellers made his record -break-
ing jump on his first attempt at
that height
"Scott jumped well," said
K-State coach Cliff Rovelto "I
guess you know you're good
when you |set a personal re-
cord | indoors, set the school
record and people still think
you could have done better. It's
comical really, but that's just the
level of expectation "
Sellers failed on three at-
tempts to clear 7-725. The jump
would have tied the best indoor
jump in the U.S. this season
Groves took the title in the
weight throw fur the second -
consecutive year. Her toss of
70-03.00 is her career- best and
broke the Big 12 record as well
as the conference meet record.
The Ihrow also earned Groves
her third NCAA automatic
qualifying mark of the season.
"I don't think it is surpris
ing, because she has thrown at
such a high level for the whole
season," Rovelto said "It was
just a matter of time before she
did that"
Groves opened the compe-
tition with a throw of 64-05 25.
and then on her second attempt
she let loose the record-break-
ing toss
Senior Laci Heller finished
third in the weight throw, with
a toss of 65-0625. Her bronze
finish marked the fourth time
Heller has finished in the top
three at the conference meet
She finished second as a fresh
man, took gold as a sophomore
and finished in third place as a
junior Heller and Groves com-
bined for 16 of the women's 54
points.
The men earned 16 of
their 46 points in the heptath-
lon Freshmen Moritz Cleve
and Rok Derzanic finished sec-
ond and third, respectively, and
junior Adam Pretwell came in
seventh. Each of the heptath-
letes set new personal bests in
the event and reached NCAA
provisional qualifying marks.
'The guys in the heptath-
lon did real well," Rovelto said.
"There is no way we could have
anticipated that we would have
scored that many points in that
evenl."
Junior Mike Myer ran his
way to a fourth place finish in
the 200-meter dash, and in the
process broke the school re-
cord set by Terence Newman in
2001. Myers time of 21 17 was
his personal best and his first
NCAA provisional qualifying
mark. Myer also earned a fifth
place finish, when he tied his

1 have always been a
sucker for those cheesy re-
ality dating shows "Rock of
Love" is my personal favor-
ite, followed closely by "I
Love New York" and even
the absolutely ridiculous
ones like "Next"
While it causes me se-
vere pain to admit it, I have
also been known to "acci-
dentally" leave my TV on to
watch what is, in my opin-
ion, the king of classless tele-
vision. "Flavor of Love," on
VH1
Flavor of Love," which
airs on Mondays, is in its
third season of following an
aging rap star, 48-year-old
Wiliain Drayton Jr known
popularly as " Flavor Flav,"
on his never-ending quest for
love. Well, il not love, then a
quest for a half-naked wom-
an half his age who will de-
grade herself constantly to
win physical attention from
him.
In the first two sea-
sons, "Flav" - as the wom-
en affectionately call him -
picked the women he wanted
to get to know better out of
the thousands who sent him
videos declaring their undy
ing love for a guy they had
never met who wears clocks
around his neck and asks
people if they know what
time it is.
This season, however,
while Flav still picked most
of the contestants himself, he
allowed fans to pick a hand-
ful of the women online Af-
ter seeing them all together,
it becomes apparent that the
voter's taste in women is not
much more developed than
flav's.
It would seem as though
all "Flavor of Love" does is
reinforce stereotypes that
women are catty and can-
not get along together. They
wear clothing that does not
make them look like women
respectable men would nev-
er bring home to meet their
parents, to put it as kindly
as possible All these women
care about is landing a man,
and a pretty disgusting one at
that
In a world in which
women are already viewed
as being a step or two down
from their male counterparts,
reinforcing these negative
images of women as money-
hungry plastic connivers who
will claw each other to get
a man just raises that glass
ceiling higher and higher
The women compete
in daily challenges, usual-
ly something involving very
little clothing and plenty of
booty-shaking, to win solo
dates with the clock-wearing
Flav One episode this season
featured Flav on a hospital
stretcher, and each woman
had to play the nurse, com-
plete with costume, Flav vis-
ited each of the "nurses," and
each had to try to heal Flav's
broken heart. For most of the
women, this meant gyrating
on top of him and whispering
dirty things in his ear
After each challenge,
there is an elimination cer
emony in which the women
are lined up like prize dogs
and Flav picks which woman
gets to leave and go recover
her dignity
At the end, the winner of
the show gets to date Flav, or
so they say. Many would say
its obviously staged
"Flavor of Love 3" is a
trashy, classless show, and
one 1 watch faithfully every
Monday. Everyone needs a
little self-esteem boost once
in awhile - at least my life
hasn't reached the point
where 1 need to attract a mail
wearing a clock.

SGA president prepares for term completion
By Holly Campbell
KANSAS STATE COLLEGIAN
As the race for the new
Student Governing Associ-
ation presidency continues,
current student body presi-
dent Matt Wagner is prepar
ing for the end of his year-long
term
Wagner said April 3 will
be his final day as SGA pres-
ident Wagner, fifth -year stu-
dent in management informa
rion systems, said he is look-
ing forward to his May grad-
uation and working for Cono
cOPhillips' global information
services department in Bar-
llesville, Okla
Wagner's "KSYou" cam
paign focused on eliminating
the study-abroad application
fee, creating an online text
book database, implementing
a new dead week policy and
creating a financial -planning
center for students.
The study-abroad fee was
eliminated only two weeks af-
ter Wagner took office, and
the textbook database was on-
line in June, bul the other two
issues arc still in Ihe works.
Wagner said.
SGA members are work-
ing with Faculty Senate to
make changes to dead week
policies and seeking out cor-
porate sponsorship for the fi-
nancial planning center, Wag-
ner said.
Besides the struggle of try-
ing to please the entire cam
pus, Wagner said his biggest
challenge as SGA president
has been dealing with the time
n takes to accomplish goals
within the university setting.
"Often times, I'll get e-
mails or students coming by
requesting things that some-
times we just can't work out
within a year," Wagner said.
Wagner said he is confi-
I dent both the dead-week poli
I cy and financial -planning cen-
ter projects will be complet-
ed, and he wished he could
have seen them take full effect
while in office.
"That's the biggest fear I
have right now, is letting go
and moving on and not seeing
these items through the com-
pletion, but also understand-
ing that in the lime frame uf
the university setting; it takes
much longer than anticipated
to meet goals," Wagner said.
Wagner's vice president.
Ljfdia Peele. senior in math-
ematics education, said Wag
ner has been dependable in
his leadership role.
"He's definitely taken the
initiative to get everything
done that comes up, even
more than just working on
our platform issues this year,"
Peele said "He's really done a
great job at taking the lead on
different projects and doing
what he can to see thai differ-
ent goals get accomplished"
Wagner was hesitant to
praise his own term.
I would say it's gone
well, but I'll leave that to oth-
ers to determine - the student
body and faculty, staff, admin-
istration," he said.
Jim Mosimann, senior in
political science and econom-
ics, came in second to Wagner
in last year's SGA presidential
race Despite the past rivalry,
Mosimann said he approved
of Wagner's performance as
president.
"I think lhat he's done
very well, and he's accom-
plished a number of issues
that we felt were very impor-
tant during the campaign,"
Mosimann said.
Those issues include the
online textbook listing as well
as the recreation-complex ex
pansion, week-long Thanks-
giving break and increasing
the number of designated stu-
dent parking spots in Ihe new
K-State Student Union park-
ing garage. Mosimann said
Running for president
was far from Wagner's first ex-
perience in student govern
ment He served as an SGA
intern as a frcshinaij, govern-
mental relations director as a
sophomore and Privilege Fee
Committee chairman as a ju-
nior and senior, Wagner said
Gayle Spencer, assis-
tant dean of student life, has
known Wagner since his first
day of involvement in SGA,
she said.
"1 think he's been fan-

tastic," Spencer said, "He's
worked well with administra-
tion and represented students
well here and with the board
of regents "
Wagner said building a
strong relationship with uni-
versity administration has
been one of the biggest ac-
complishments of his term
"We've been able to work
many things out that I think
have been left untouched in
the last few years." Wagner
said. "As a student govern-
ment as a whole we've be-
come closer with the adminis-
tration, and they trust us and
they invest in us that much
more"
Wagner's advice to future
SGA presidents also deals
with these relationships.
"Make sure that you build
that connection with your
constituents and faculty and
the administration as quick-
ly as possible at the begin-
ning of your term" Wagner
said. "Those are the individu-
als that will help you ultimate-
ly succeed in a position, and
it's not something you can do
alone"
Though serving as SGA
president has taken up more
time than he expected, Wag-
ner said he has not ruled out
getting into politics again
someday.
"In the future, I could see
maybe a future in politics - in
a city or community aspect,"
he said.

SGA makes decisions,
acts as student voice
fly Amanda Ktlm t
KANSAS STATE COLLEGIAN
With the Student Gov-
erning Association elec-
tions fast approaching, it it
important for student vert*
ers to be aware of the rote
that SGA plays in day-to-
day campus life.
"SGA is important be-
cause we really are the
voice of the students to the
administrators," said Lyd
ia Peele, student body vice
president 'If they have any
concerns or something they
want to see, then they ask
SGA."
This year alone, SGA
has made several impor-
tant decisions (hat will af-
fect the next several years of
K-State student life The ex-
pansion of Ihe Peters Rec-
reation Complex, tuition
rates and privilege fees are
fust a few of the many areas
in which the association has
influenced.
Each year, the student
government is given about
$15 million to work with
and allocate across cam-
pus
The money can be used
in many different areas,
from improving the Lafene
Health Center to generating
publicity for the Recreation
Complexexpansion.
"1 think that realizing
the dollar amounts that are
spent throughout the uni-
versity is one of the larg-
est 'Aha' moments {for stu-
dents)," said Matt Wagner,
student body president. "Fif-
teen million dollars is a lot
Of money that student gov-
ernment has control over.
I think that would be the
most critical to students,
but also, just the daily life in
general''
Wagner, senior in man-
agement information sys-
tems, said the members of
SGA participate in a park-
ing council that works ev-
ery week with students to
remedy complaints. Mem
Dtn arc also working to dis-
tribute parking stalls in the
garafe that is being built in
front of the K-State Student
Union
"I think that student
government has a lot of
control over what happens
on campus pertaining to
students and how much stu-
dents are able to contribute
to the university, as well as
how much money is spent
where by the university,"
Wagner said
Peele, senior in math
education, said it is impor-
tant for students to take
special interest in studeht
government because of tie
weight that SGA decisions
carry Not only are mem
bers working throughout
campus, but they also work
with the Board of Regerju
and are preparing to malt
a national lobby for htgji
er education in Washington
DC.
"It's really more than
what just goes on here at
K-State," Peele said. "The
student government is real-
ly the go-to people for the
students and on the nation-
al level as well"
With such a great num-
ber of correspondents to
work with, the student gov-
ernments allocation com-
mittee labors to help cam-
pus organizations travel, co-
ordinate speakers and bring
diversity to the students
"I think they're con-
stantly attending meet
ings and working with lots
of people on campus and
across the state to represent
the interests of students and
that goes on all the time,"
said Gayle Spencer, Assis-
tant Dean of Student Life
"1 don't think many stu-
dents realize how hard it is
and how much work they
do, and that we have se-
rious candidates here to
make K-State a better place
for the students." I

PARKING 1 3 options being explored
to decide on student parking spots
PLAYING FOR EATS
Continued from fag* 1
parking garage sub-commit-
lee. which Is to be present-
ed this month, includes 500
student parking spaces, 400
spaces for faculty and staff,
300 spaces for hourly-rate
parking and 134 for reserved
parking, Peele said.
The parking garage sub-
committee is in the process
i>t meeting with a technology
company called Ski-Data to
decide how students will be
able to access the new park-
ing garage. Peele said.
She said there are three
options being explored at this
lime.
The first option would be
to open up the student spac-
es in the parking garage to
those with an "O" parking
pass. The second option is
students would be required to
have a separate, new-technol-
ogy parking pass for the new
garage The third option is
students with an "O" parking
pass would have to pay half
price to use the new garage
STUDENT, FACULTY
SACRIFICES
Dean of student life Pal
Bo sco praised parking servic-
es for the accommodations
they have made to aid the
current parking shortage situ-
ation, particularly concerning
parents and prospective stu
dents coming to Manhattan
for campus visits
"Parking services has
done an excellent job to use
Ihe shuttle program to aid
with parents coming up for
visits," he said. "Completion
of the new parking garage will
be a great boom for K-State
Student Union"
Howcverm some stu-
dents and faculty have neg
alive feelings concerning the
new parking garage.
"I think it is in the way
and isn't going to benefit us,"
said Rebecca Smith, senior in
applied music.
But until the garage is
done. Ihose who do not live
close enough to walk to cam-
pus will continue to expe-
rience the stress of driving
in and out of stalls trying to
find parking or planning extra
time to ride the shuttle.
"I can always find a park-
ing space, just not close to
where I need to go." said grad-
uate student in English Ra-
chel Parkin
Parkin said that a clos-
er parking space would in-
crease her time on campus,
but it might help improve her
mood.
"1 might be a little nic-
er when I got [to campus] if I
didn't have freezing cold fin-
gers that were too numb to
type," she said
Parkin has to park in the
"T" parking lot, which is lo-
cated across the street from
Moore Hall.
She Ihe walks to the Eng-
lish and Counseling Services
building located behind Hale
Library in the center of cam-
pus.
Parkin said she thought
that the new parking garage
might help the parking short-
age a little bit, but it won't
solve it
Less parking prompts fewer tickets
By Amanda Keim
KANSAS STATE COLLEGIAN
The litlle yellow enve-
lopes are like an eyesore plas-
tered to the windshield of the
unsuspecting.
Ihcy .lit j* beacons, call
ing students who pass to snick-
er at the latest violator of cam-
pus parking regulations.
These small flyers are
placed in windshield wipers by
one of 12 parking control of-
ficers. The officers, who work
just a few at a time, are nev-
er working the same sched-
ule. Darwin Abbott, director
of University Parking Servic-
es, said that the schedule of
the officers depends on class
schedules, obligations and
other lime constraints that the
□Seen might have.
This means that it is near-
ly impossible to predict when
the next control officer might
pass by an illegally -parked ve-
hicle
"You will have a few [park-
ing control officers] working
at a time," Abbott said "We
start in the morning and it
goes at night because we get
complaints from the residence
halls We go at night just be-
cause we don't want that fill-
ing up with people who don't
live there We pass through the
center of campus just looking
for anything weird"
The residence halls are
the most frequently patrolled
area, Abbott said
Many complaints come
from students in the halls who
feel that parking spaces are be-
ing overrun by students who
do not have valid permits,
"The ticket that's written
most often is for not having a
valid permit," Abbott said. "If
you're parked in a faculty or
staff lot with a student permit,
that would be an incorrect per-
mit and that's a $50 ticket"
Having an invalid per
mil used to cost students $1K.
However. Abbott said that stu-
dents on the Council on Park-
ing Activities voted to raise the
fine because many students
would become repeal offend
ers
They would park illegally
lime and time again and nev-
er end up accumulating a bill
thai matched the price of a
parking permit, Abbott said.
One common miscon-
ception is that K Stak- Police
play a part in issuing tickets
Though K State Police often
patrol the campus lots, they
do not participate in the writ-
ing of tickets
"We do not issue tickets
for the most part," said Capt
Don Stubbings of K Stale Po
lice "We do supplemental
parking services when neces-
sary, but it's not a normal ser-
vice"
Though tickets persist to
decorate windshields, assistant
vice president of parking ser-
vices Gary Leitnaker said that
certain changes made because
of a lack of parking in front of
the K Stale Student Union has
actually decreased the number
of tickets given across cam-
pus.
"I ihink what's helped this
year is ihe shuttle." Leitnaker
said "People really like the
shuttle ll was pul in the first
day of school and it has nev-
er been used before, with the
exception of a shuttle between
here and the Foundation. It's
there to replace parking in
front of the Union"
Though the shuttle has
eased the pain of parking lick
ets, Leitnaker said funding has
not been set in place to contin-
ue running it next year.

The Bria T Chism Foun-
dation has traveled to many
college campuses in Missouri
and Kansas to get young mi-
norities interested in register-
ing to be a donor
He said they have been
working closely with histori-
cally black fraternities and so-
rorities, like Zeta Phi Beta, to
achieve this demographic.
"They have been very
helpful and very willing to
come forward to register,"
Chism said
The foundation not only
registers donors, but they also
serve as support groups for

financial hardship due to ex-
pensive hospital bills or edu-

come registered, stressing that
as a donor there is no cost
and the recipient pays for all
of the costs
According to the Nation
al Marrow Donor Program
Web site, because tissue types
are inherited, patients are
more likely to match some-
one from their own race or
ethnicity.
Adding more donors
from diverse racial and eth-
nic backgrounds increases
the likelihood that all patients
will find the match they need
On any given day, more
than 6,000 men, women and
children arc searching the

gram (NMDP) Registry for a
life-saving donor
These patients have leu

For many of these patients,
a transplant may be the best

MARIJUANA I Legislation rejected
Continued from Page 1
from a physician means a physi-
cian-signed document who also
is in good standing with the state
board of healing arts, according
to the proposed Senate bill.
A COLLABORATIVE EFFORT
With Former Kansas At-
torney Gen Robert Slephan
as their legal consultant, the
Kansas Compassionate Care
Coalition testified before the
Kansas Senate Committee on
Health Care Strategies on Feb.
1 1 in support of the proposed
legislation.
The Kansas Compassion-
ate Care Coalition has exist-
ed for about a year-and-a-half,
said Laura Green, coalition di-
rector. The coalition has about
850 members, including cancer
patients, their family members,
doctors, nurses and caregivers
Stephen's press conference
about medicinal marijuana at
the State Capitol in August 2007
developed an interest about the
proposed legislation. Green
said.
"With his involvement, we
were able to bring it to the leg
islature." Green said. "I don't
think we would have been able
to advance our bill without his
support, especially in an election
year,"
Slephan, who served as
Kansas attorney general from
1979-95, said in a telephone in
terview that he supports only the
medicinal uses for marijuana. He
said under the proposed legisla-
tion, patients who use marijuana
for medicinal purposes could still
be charged with a crime. Howev-
er, if a judge finds that the mar-
ijuana had been recommended
for medical purposes, Stephan
said the person in possession of
marijuana would have a defense
for it.
Stephan has supported me
dicinal marijuana for 25 years
and the reclassification of mari-
juana from a Schedule I drug to
a Schedule II drug.
Schedule I drugs have a high po-
tential for abuse and have no
currently accepted medicinal use
in treatment in the U.S. Sched-
ule II drugs have a high potential
for abuse along with a currently
accepted medical use treatment
in the US. or currently accepted
medical use with severe restric-
tions, according to the DEA's
Web site.

During his testimony be
fore the Senate Committee on
Health Care Strategies, Steph
an said he visited cancer patients
for 15 years inTopeka and Wich
tta hospitals He said some pa-
tients told him they resorted to
marijuana as a last resort to re-
lieve their nausea.
"1 hope these people who
oppose medicinal marijuana
never have to suffer like the peo-
ple 1 have seen and talked with
and the people who use it as a
last resort," Stephan said a tele-
phone interview "If I was a re-
searcher, I'd probably say, 'May
God have mercy on their souls"'
Stephan said he will contin-
ue to advocate medicinal mari-
juana use and proposed legisla-
tion in its support.
On May 15, 2007. DEA Ad-
ministrative Law Judge Mary El
ler Bittner submitted her recom-
mendation to the DEA's depu
ty administrator that staled she
found it is "in the pubb'c inter-
est" to end the federal monopo-
ly on the marijuana supply that
could be used in FDA-approved
research.
"If we can get enough slates,
its passage will send a message
to the DEA and federal govern-
ment to reclassify H and allow
for further research," Slephan
said. "Even the opponents say
further research is needed, but
they know dam well that ade-
quate marijuana cannot be pro-
duced for research, so they're
talking through both sides of
their mouths"
Green said coalition mem
bers plan to reintroduce the bill
during the 2009 Kansas legisla-
tive session.
"That's very disappointing
for us that they wouldn't lake
the vote in the committee to ad-
vance the bill," she said "We'll
hope that whatever committee
it goes through next year that
they'll have the political will-
power to at least hold a vole in
the committee."
A MEDICAL PERSPECTIVE
Dr. Eric Voth, a medical di-
rector at Stormont-Vail Health-
care in Tbpeka, is the chairman
of The Institute on Global Drug
Policy Voth has more than 30
years of experience as an author-
ity on drug use. He said medic-
inal marijuana is bad medicine
because of its THC ranges
THC levels in available mar-
ijuana range from 2 percent to
30 percent, Voth said Because
of this range, Voth said marijua
na has a very narrow therapeu-
tic window for pain relief - low-
er levels have no effect on pain
while THC levels above a certain
point intensifies pain, he said.
According to a recommen
dation from National Academy
Press in 1999, clinical trials of
marijuana for medical purposes
should be conducted under lim-
ited circumstances, including Ihe
following: trails should involve
only short-term marijuana use
of less than six months; be con
ducted in patients with condi
lions for which there is a reason-
able expectation of efficacy; he
approved by institutional review
boards; and collect data about
efficacy.
Voth said the PDA should
take precedent in its establish
m cut of drug policies instead ot
the legislative process.
"There's a tremendous
amount of emotion with man
juana that's making people not
think clearly," he said.
According to the US. De-
partment of justice Web site, a
pharmaceutical product calted
Marino! is widely available
through prescription as a pill
Marinol's active ingredient is
synthetic THC, which has been
found lo relieve nausea and
vomiting associated with che-
motherapy with cancer patients
and loss of appetite with AtDS
patients, according to the depart-
ment's Web site
OTHER STATES' POLICIES
Laws that effectively remove
state- level criminal penalties for
growing or possessing medical
marijuana now exist in 12 states,
including New Mexico A bill in
support of medicinal marijua-
na passed the New Mexico state
legislature and received Gov, Bill
Richardson's support in spring
2007.
New Mexico Rep. John
Heaton, D-Carlsbad, said he "ve
hemently opposes" the legisla-
tion. Heaton, a pharmacist, said
marijuana is a weak painkiller
and anti-nauseant. He also said
the issue supersedes the FDA
and its drug-approval process
'Legalizing one more drug
in our society is now what we
need to be doing as policy-mak-
ers, we should be doing just the
opposite," Heaton said "We have
a national organization that ap-
proves or disapproves dr

Random tandem
FttotOT by Mm ilrttw | COLLEGIAN
Dany Majard graduate student in math, rides his tandem two-seater bike outside of his apartment Monday evening.
Student enjoys eclectic mix of hobbies, transportation
By Sarah Surford
KANSAS STATE COLLEGIAN
Dany Majard
came from
France, stud-
ied in Montreal
and New Zealand, and is
now earning his doctoral
degree in math at KState
Despite his longing for a
little "culture " in Manhat-
tan, he has found plen-
ty to do around here. Rid
ing a tandem bike, team-
ing how to juggle fire and
playing hockey with K
State's club team have
kept Majard busy during
his first year here.
When did] you come to K-
State?
Last January. It was
kind of funny because they
don't have training for
teaching assistants in the
spring, so 1 got to teach
right away.
What do you want to do
after earning your de-
gree?
1 want to do research.
Some organizations are
founded by the state, and
the people who work there
do fundamental things, and
they're paid for it They are
not linked to any universi-
ties. In France, it's called
CNRS. It's really hard to
get into it, though, t really
don't know where I'll end
up going I'll go where my
job takes me. That's how I
landed here.
did you go tu
before coming
Where
school
here?
I got a master's de-
gree in theoretical phys-
ics in France The struc-
ture of it is really different
from here. We don't have
any teaching duties, we
don't have any research
, we just take classes the
whole time, except for the
last three or four months
where we have an intern-
ship of full-time research.
I did the first internship
in Montreal, and the sec-
ond in New Zealand Then
my adviser in New Zea-
land decided lo quit, so 1
contacted people in other
countries [to pursue a doc
toral degree]. The best op-

Yes, I rode one in To-
kyo. A friend was going
back there for a month, so
I asked my brother if he
wanted to go, like, three
days before we left He said,
"Sure, I have the money
Let's go " So we went, and
it was a lot of fun. Every
summer they close the im-
perial gardens [in Tokyo)
and rent out bikes to peo-
ple for free and let people
ride around the gardens.
And when 1 came here, I
was looking for a bike be-
cause I was walking a lot. I
saw this one on Facebook.

self, " If I don't buy one now,
then I'll never actually buy
one" So 1 contacted these

Presidential candidates participate in forum, answer audience questions
By Brandon Ste inert
KANSAS STATE COLLEGIAN
The candidates for stu
dent body president an-
swered questions about their
ambitions and platforms
Monday night in the KState
Student Union Ballroom
Tyrone "Red Beard"
Schurr, senior in electrical
engineering, answered ques
tions in a different manner
than usual, without a pirate
accent.
"If we were up there
slicing and dicing the nin-
ja threat, it would be avast
yea scurvy dogs and walk
the plank', but from the
neck down we're in suits,"
Schurr said. "We can't just
go in there and run everyone
through with a cutlass or
with pistols and shoot them
and tell them to surrender
the booty Telling somebody
to surrender the booty in this
would really be taken the
wrong way, especially since
the opposition is female"
Lydia Peele, senior in
math education, said Schurr
surprised her with the non-
pirate accent
"I'm not sure what he's
doing," she said "1 think
he's trying to show a differ-
ent side of who he is to the
students who came here."
Despite Schurr's goal
to increase voter turnout
by bringing humor to Stu-
dent Governing Association
elections, fewer people vot-
ed during the primaries thta
year compared tu previous
elections
Peele said she isn't sure
why that happened, but said
it might be different for the
general elections, which start

and face with their fists, until
an RCPD officer broke up the
altercation
Melara was treated at
Mercy Regional Health Cen-
ter for a large gash above one
of his eyes and another gash
around his nose and eye sock-
et, according to reports He
has since been released from
the hospital.

arrested for battery, and Burch
was arrested on aggravated
battery charges Both men's

Albert Einstein's early
20lh century theories still ap-

cy in the 21st century, said a
physicist and Nobel laureate
Monday afternoon.
William D Phillips, a fel-
low of the National Institute
nt Standards and Technolo-
gy, presented "Time and Ein-
stein in the 21st Century: The
—Coolest Stuff in the Universe"
to a full room of K-State stu-
dents, fatuity and commu-
nity members at the K-Slate
Alumni Center.
, Audience members
laughed as Phillips poured
liquid nitrogen on tables and
„lhe carpeted floor The liquid
.instantly boiled because of its
cool temperature relative to
room temperature.
Phillips performed a se-
ries of experiments to explain
laser cooling and heating and
their importance to atomic
clocks
u "Einstein showed that
both space and lime were
.things that depended on who
was looking at them," Phillips

h During the early 1900s,
Einstein defined time as what
I cluck measures, Phillips
said. A clock is something
thai ticks, providing a peri-
odic uniform series of eav-
cnts. Phillips said. Examples
nf clocks throughout histo-
ry include the rotating earth
and a swinging pendulum, he
said
Such mechanical clocks,
though, are imperfect, Phil

dulum swing might stretch

The earth's rotations
even vary with different cur-

atomic clocks arc accurate

atom in the world is identi-

Atomic fountain clocks,
which use fountain-like
movements of atoms to mea-

William D, Phillip* gives a demostration of the physical effects of
extreme cold on matter by dipping a rose into a vial of liquid nitrogen
and then shattering it on the ground Phillips, a 1997 Nobel Prize
winner spoke Monday in the K State Alumni Center on "Time and
Einstein in the 21 st Century: the Coolest Stuff In the Universe"
ic clocks are important for
modern Global Positioning
System, which is a Global
Navigation Satellite System.
He also said atomic clocks
in satellites guide vehicles,
planes, backpackers and mil-
itary vehicles
"Today, without an un
derstandmg of the results nf
general relativity, the Glob-
al Positioning System would
be off by kilometers" Phillips
said.
The future of atomic
clocks includes more accu
rate clocks, tests of the fun-
damental understanding of
nature, quantum computers
and other scientific aspects
that have yet to be discov-
ered, Phillips said.
Along with Steven Chu
and Claude Cohen -Tannoud-
ji, Phillips shared the 1997
Nobel Prize for physics be-
cause of their work in devel-
oping methods to cool and
trap atoms wilh laser light
He also serves as a univer-
sity distinguished profes
sor of physics at the Univer
sity of Maryland
Phillips also has familial ties
at K- Stale. His brother, Tom
Phillips, has served as head
of the Department of Ento-
mology and Plant Pathology
since July 2007
During the question-and-
answer period, an audience
member asked Phillips what
kind of watch he wears be-
cause of his fascination with
time
"As a government em-
ployee. I cannot endorse a
specific watch brand," Phil-
lips said with a laugh "Bui
I do wear a digital Quartz
watch"

OPINION
KANSAS STATE COLLEGIAN
Dependency's demand
Ethanol changing future of
consumers' gasoline needs
JOE
VOSSIN
In the five minutes it takes you
to read this column, the United
States will consume 70,000 barrels
of oil Accord-
ing to the Ener-
gy Information
Administration,
we bum 6.2 bil-
lion gallons of
oil in a single
day. Our insa-
tiable appetite
for petroleum,
which is both
expensive and
finite, has econ-
omists and sci-
entists worried,
Where will
we turn when
the oil wells run dry? When will
the price of crude oil finally prove
too expensive to run our cars, pro-
duce our plastics and manufacture
our chemicals? In the debate over
energy and carbon emissions, an
unlikely hero has emerged in corn-
based ethanol.
The hoopla surrounding etha-
nol has been hard to ignore. Farm-
ers, venture capitalists, politicians
and even energy companies have
pointed to ethanol as the fuel of
the future. The prospects of etha-
nol are indeed alluring The clean-
burning, home-grown gasoline sub-
stitute has the potential to reduce
our dependence on foreign oil, de-
crease the amount of dangerous
carbons entering our aUnosphere.
jumps! art struggling economies in
rural America and begin the next
revolution in technology and in-
dustry: The biofuel age.
The ethanol explosion certain-
ly has affected the Kansas econo
my There are eight ethanol plants
in the state, with construction
f trice tap ranging from $60 mil
ion to $200 million. The Kansas
Energy Information Network re-
ported that four more plants are
under construction, and anoth-
er 22 are being proposed. Prom
Finney County in the southwest
to Atchison County in the north-
east, ethanol plants are spend-
ing millions of dollars buying fuel,
feed, water and labor from rural
Kansas communities - an econom-
ic stimulus for areas with falling
populations and fewer employment
opportunities.
More ethanol plants mean
more demand for com, the grain
whose starches are converted into
sugars and fermented into ethyl al-
cohol, or ethanol.
Fred Cholick, dean of the Col-
lege of Agriculture, said higher de-
mand for grain, coupled with a
worldwide food shortage, has led
to higher com prices. Though the
jump in prices has profited the
Kansas com producer, Cholick
said not everyone is singing etha-
nol's praises
"Higher prices of commodities
- com and sorghum in this case
- all have very positive influences
for the local farmer," Cholick said.
"The other side of it is, the users of
those products domestically - here
in Kansas it's the beef industry, the
feed lots and the swine industry -
arc paying more to feed their ani-
mals com. They are in a squeeze"
Com futures traded at more
than $5 50 per bushel at the Chi-
cago Board of Trade last week, up
from an average of $2 per bushel in
the early 2000s. More com is being
sold for
ethanol
produc-
tion than ex-
ported to underde-
veloped nations which have less-
disposable income and a great-
er need for our surplus grain, Less
wheat is planted when com is
more profitable: Cholick said the
average Kansas wheat base has
dropped from 14 million acres to
just less than 10 million acres last
year
There are signs that the eth-
anol bubble is fragile. The etha-
nol industry's aggressive expan-
sion into Midwestern states in the
last five years, where labor is cheap
and com is plentiful, is showing
signs of slowing down. According
to a Feb 26 article in USA Today,
Cargill recently scrapped plans for
a $200 million ethanol plant out-
side Topeka. Cargill cited poor eco-
nomic conditions and. ironically,
the rising cost of com.
Before Kansas and the rest of
the country completely embrace
ethanol as the answer lo our oil
addiction, we must build a smart-
er strategy to expand the industry
The current high com prices and
ethanol euphoria might be the
boom -and -bust years of bio fuels
The industry has yet to prove itself
both as an efficient alternative to
oil and as a stable industry for the
economies of Kansas and the na-
Doet ethanol deserve all
the attention? To completely an-
swer such a question is beyond the
scope of one column In the com-
ing weeks, I will address the envi-
ronmental effects of ethanol, and
the research being done to improve
its efficiency and production
The future of ethanol is bright,
but like any infant industry, there is
room for improvement The initial
excitement has given way to grow-
ing pains, but Cholick said ethanol
has the potential to not only revo-
lutionize agriculture, but shape the
2 1st century.
"For the local community, in
terms of jobs and construction, eth-
anol has a very positive impact,"
Cholick said. "As we go through
this adjustment period, parts of a
community's economy will be ad-
versely impacted. The long-term
forecast is positive. Over the short
term, we'll have bumps in the
road."

Change in leadership brings Cuba into U.S. news spotlight
This past week was one
for the record books when it
comes to breaking down inter
national barriers and moving
one step closer lo uniting I he
nations of our planet
Three significant events
took place this week, und if
you haven't had a chance to
tune in to the news, here is
a recap First, the New York
Philharmonic became the
first American music group in
more than half u century to
perform in
North Ko-
rea, The
group per-
formed pieces like "An Amer-
ican in Paris" and "From the
New World" for an audience
of prominent Communists, a
bold move on their part.
Another event of even
greater international signifi-
cance was the rekindling of
the old feud in the Balkans be-
tween the ethnic Albanians
and the Serbs. A little more
than a week ago, Kosovo de
dared its independence from
Serbia as an act of self-deter-
mination The majority of the
West supported this move, but
a few nations have submitted
objections since then.
And the third news-mak-
ing event is former Cuban die
lator Fi-
del
Cas
tro's
abdi-
cation
of his rule
over the island
nation lo his younger
brother, Raul.
Because proximity is
the only American cri-
terion for awareness, si-
phoning attention away
from all of this has
been a mindless dia-
logue on the retire-
ment - or rather,
the abdication - of
Fidel Castro in fa-
vor of his brother,
Raul. While the gen-
eral question, "When
did leadership of
any kind of Repub-
lic become an inherited posi
tion?" might be both relevant
and valid, we must not allow
ourselves to be distracted by
the media's heat -seeking flash-
bulbs, post- USSR, this event is
of very little historical signifi
cance.
Now. let's be distinct; the
liberty of the Cuban people
obviously is important, and
the case has always deserved
more thoughtful consideration
than it has received In fact,
given that now all the original
egos of this little war are out ol
the picture, it's
de rigucur to
at leasi teni
porarily sus-
pend our
Cold War
era as-
sumptions
and re
examine the situation in mo-
dernity But is this whal has
happened'* Of course not. Ac
tual discussion of the
logistics of new di-
ploma v has been
meager in compari-
i > the masturba-
tory antics of the me-
dia, who have most-
ly prattled on about
aborted anniversa-
ries, the ends of eras
and the younger Cas-
tro's "momentous de-
cision'
The reality is
mure complicated,
frustrating and so*
bering; in exchange
for any hope of relations, the
Li tuted Stales has continued
to insist on a laundry list of
concessions from Cuba, be
pntnnii with the wholesale
abandonment of state social-
ism in favor of liberal democ
mcjf Cuba, of course, always
has responded by both reject-
ing the United Stales' implicit
mandate for oversight and de
manding total autonomy with
their objectionable internal af-
fairs as a prerequisite for ne-
gotiation. Neither side has the
inherent desire for compro-
mise or the need for capilula
tion. and both have a signifi-
cant amount of national pride
at stake So why are we a 81
Initially so surprised at the
depth of this particular stale-
mate?
Perhaps because no one
realizes just how little client
has been made. On her 2005
short list of "outposts of tyr-
anny," Secretary of State Con
doleezza Rice sin-
gled out Cuba -
while omitting with-
out apology ghoul-
ish Saudi Arabia
and others - and
John Bolton, former
ambassador lo the
United Nations, ac-
cused the island na-
tion of harboring
weapons of mass
destruction, a state-
ment which doesn't
require - but sure-
ly benefits from -
a witty postscript.
Meanwhile. Raul deliberately
has made clear that he has no
interest in reprising Mikhail
Gorbachev; on the contrary,
it's business as usual in Ha-
vana, with Castro even pro-
posing before the National As-
sembly that they "include Fi-
del" on important decisions, a
resolution which, to no one's
surprise, passed unanimously.
In other words, don't ex-
pect for either Havana or
Washington, DC, to blink.
This "end of an era'' business
is nothing more than a frivo
lous cliche, and it shall take
much more than evocative
rhetoric to soothe the dys-
function.

TO THE POINT
Thanks,
seniors
TTie last four years,
we've watched senior
guard Gent Stewart play
Hft TO THE MINT Is an

vears lh * *drtorlal board
and written after
WC v£ a majority opinion
seen the I » formed. This ii
addi- tne Colleglan't
tion of """•'•p"*"-
forward David Hoskins,
guard Blake Young and
guard James Franklin. All
four have made a mark
on K-State basketball as
the team works to climb
to the top.
Stewart came to the
team directly from Union
High School in Tulsa,
Okla, He started all 29
games during the 2004-05
campaign and added 31
minutes to the bench that
also included Jeremiah
Massey, Lance Harris and
Cartier Martin. He aver-
aged five points per game,
including 31 percent from
beyond the arc.
Hoskins was a 2005-
06 addition who made an
immediate effect in the
game scores. Hoskins' 13
points per game was sec-
ond on the team and 21
starts helped. Both Hosk-
ins and Stewart were part
of the team that led K
State past KU, 59-55, in
Lawrence, Kan.
Blake Young has
brought intensity to the
Wildcat bench. He has re-
ally made a splash this
year with his toughness:
first during the Jan 30
KU game, when he had
to receive stitches to his
eyebrow following the
game, then during the
March 1 KU game, when
he left the floor limping
slightly, then came back
in the game four min-
utes later. He saw action
in all 35 games last year
and made a team -high 41
steals during the season.
Franklin came with
former coach Bob Hug-
gins last year after trans-
ferring to K-State from
Cowley County Commu-
nity College. The lone
Kansan on the team,
Prariklin has seen the
court ten times this sea-
son, averaging four min-
utes per game and has
scored seven points.
To all the seniors:
thank you for your con-
tributions to the team.
Whether you were here
for all four years, or lent
support to your team
from the bench, we ap-
preciate everything you've
given us

Beasley grabs 8th Rookie honor
Freshman forward Mi-
chael Beasley keeps turning
heads at the Big 12 Confer
ence offices.
Beasley
received his
sixth con-
secutive and
eighth over-
all Rookie
of the Week
award It
is the first
lime in con
fcrence his-
tory for a
BEttlfY
men's player to win any
weekly award six consecu-
tive limes. His eight Rook
ie wins are the most by any
men's basketball player in
Big 1 2 history
He received the award
after averaging 34 5 points
and I > rebounds last week
He averaged 47 percent
from the floor and 44 per
ecu i from beyond the arc-
He had back to- back 30-
point games for the third
time this season He tied
Kansas' Drew Good en s re
cord for double doubles in a
season (25 J and broke Tex-
as' Kevin Durant's record
for 30 point games in a sea-
son He also set the K State
record for 30- point games in
a season - he now has 12.
On the year, Beasley is
averaging 26 7 points and
12 6 rebounds. He's only the
third player in school histo-
ry lo top 700 points in one
season and is 22 points shy
of Milch Richmond's sin-
gle season points record of
768.
JOSE
GARCIA
COLLEGE BASKETBALL
Wildcats
should be
option for
NCAA
'Big Dance'
The latest talk around
town is the K-State men's
basketball team might be in
the "Big
Dance"
for the
first time
since the
1995 96
season.
At 18-
10 over-
all and
8-6 in Big
12 Con-
ference
play, they
are easily
one of the
most widely discussed bub-
ble teams in the nation.
In some opinions, K-
State was snubbed last tour-
nament with a 20-win sea-
son.
Winning the last two
games of regular season play
will not guarantee a bid into
the field of 65.
However, going two
or three games deep into
the Big 12 tournament will
make it very difficult for the
NCAA Selection Commit
lee to not grant them a seven
or eight seed in the tourna-
ment.
If we do happen to
make it into the champion-
ship game of the Big 12 tour-
nament, with wins over Kan-
sas and a then-No 9 ranked
Texas A&M team, we could
be staring a No. 5 seed in
the face.
With two games left
in the regular season, wins
against Colorado (11-
17, 3-11 Big 12) and Iowa
State (14-15,4-10 Big 12),
are musts. It is not difficult
to tell that we have a prob-
lem winning on the road, af-
ter only three road wins this
season.
Ci miing into the Col-
orado game with a four-
game losing streak and a di-
sastrous performance in
Lawrence on Saturday, we're
lucky we're playing host
Colorado is last place in
the Big 12 and seems to be
the perfect medicine for a
hangover that needs to end
Tuesday.
The only real test I see
in the Colorado game is con-
taining a solid senior guard
in Richard Roby.
Averaging 16.7 points
this season and pulling down
6 4 rebounds a game, the
Colorado star player seems
to be a lock for the NBA
draft next season
On Friday, Colora-
do announced sophomore
guard Xavier Silas was dis-
missed from the team for un-
specified reasons.
The Buffalo guard was
the third leading scorer for
the Buffaloes, so that does
not hurt the chances for a K-
Stale win
The next challenge af-
ter the Colorado game is a
struggling, but solid, Iowa
Stale ball club.
The Cyclones are one
win away from being a 500
team in one of the toughest
conferences in the country
We are looking to pull ihe
regular-season sweep against
the Cyclones, after we beat
them 82-57 in Manhattan in
lanuary.
One bright spot in the
game tor Iowa State was a
20 point performance from
sophomore lorward Wesley
1 oh n son
Then again, the game
is in Ames. Iowa, and a win
there and against Colora-
do could put the Wildcats on
the right side of llie bubble
Plus, with those Iwo
wins and a solid Big 12 tour-
nament, 1 do not see the

lege sporting event

Comic
opera to

ByErtcDivli
KANSAS STATE COLLEGIAN
The comic open "Too
Many Sopranos," the latest pro-
duction to be showcased it
K-State, opera Wednesday in
Nichols Theatre,
The opera, directed by Reg-
inald Pittman, associate profes-
sor of music and head of te-
state's opera program, said the
production was done in collab-
oration with the theater depart-
ment
The opera tells the itory
of four sopranos who arrive in
heaven and are told only one
can be in the heavenly chorus
because there are not enough
tenors and basses in heaven's
choir, Pittman said.
The sopranos are also told
if they go to Hell and do a good
deed, they can bring back as
many tenors and basses as they
need. They need more of those
parts, Pittman said, to balance
out the choir in heaven.
The production runs at
7.30 p.m. March 5-8, and a
matinee show at 2:30 p.m. on
March 9
The cast members are all
K-State students, but the musi-
cal and technical staffs are both
faculty and students.
'Dirt' back for
sophomore
season
••••■*■
Review by Altn PMk
Despite a few knife jabs
to the gut, the ever lean -me an
Lucy Spiller is at it again
Lucy, the editor-in-chief
of "Dirt Now" - a celebri-
ty-gossip tabloid of the show
"Dirt" - kept fans on the edge
of their seats for the past 1 1
months waiting for the sec-
ond season to air The show
had a triumphant first season
with Courteney Cox as lead-
ing lady Lucy and a handful
of other oddball foil charac-
ters -
"Dirt Now" magazine
shows audience members the
ugly, back -stabbing world of
tabloids. In the very mag
azine-like newsroom, staff
members were stalked and
even killed last season
The show is chock-full
of the high-energy stress of
deadlines and drugs - the
snorting, shooting and pop-
ping kinds - along with a
slew of raunchy sex scenes,
love affairs, stalking and near-
death experiences. Most of
the characters from the pi
lot season are back (or round
two. However, within the first
10 minutes, actress -turned -
druggie-mess Julia is killed off
after she breaks into Lucy's
house, stabs her in the stom-
ach several times and then
runs into the street and ac-
cidentally gets run over by a
car.
Despite being in a coma
and hospitalized for a few
weeks, Lucy recovers from
the attack and gets back to
work quickly Long-time
schizophrenic friend Don
Konkey, as always, is sup-
porting Lucy through all her
struggles This season seems
to be more promising for him,
as he's on a new treatment for
his condition, and he says he's
starting to feel normal again #
Lucy has a couple new
staff members: assistant Ken-
ny (who suffers from an anx-
iety/panic disorder) and free
lance reporter Farber Kauff
man who struggles to ig-
nore all journalistic ethics
and morals to write for "Dirt
Now"
If season two follows
the likeness of season one,
we viewers have a lot of fast
paced action, murder, sex and
scandals ahead.
But how much more filth
and scandal can Lucy and her
gossip magazine generate?
Though the show has its
trashy moments, it beats the
pants off reality TV any day.
Embellish
Cheap craft supplies
can be accessories
We are always searching for the chance to be dif-
ferent - to stand out from the crowd and look differ-
ent from the person standing next to us, If you're wrack-
ing your brain trying to come up with
a fresh addition to your wardrobe,
try zooming in and focusing on mak-
ing small changes, rather than a total
clothing overhaul. And remember: You
can do the minimum if you're comfort-
able with that, but if you feel like over-
achieving, you can always wear more
flair.
CLOTH BRACELETS HANNAH
It's always a sad day when you BUCK
have to trash your favorite skirt or tank
top because of an unfortunate stain or
tear. However, there is a way to preserve the memories
and create a clever accessory from Oie remains - without
having to sew a quilt
Cut a section of the undamaged part of the materi-
al into a rectangular shape, about 10 inches by 6 inches.
Then, fold the ma-

■ Beaded dear: be**, ufety pirn

glue gun or needle and thread
■ Personalized bsrrette: half
barrettes, sharpies, stickers
lerial two or three
(times lengthwise
to give it a thick-
er, more polished
look. This will also
prevent the unfin-
ished edges from
fraying in the fu-
ture. If your ma-
terial is bulky
and having trou-
ble staying fold-
ed, it helps to run a
semi-hot iron over the folds a few times.
Once you have shaped your bracelet just how you
want it, wrap it around your wrist several times and then
safety-pin it together. Don't worry aboul the safety pin
showing - it all adds to the 'Yeah, I'm a creative hippie"
look
The beauty of these bracelets is you can get away
with using any kind of material from denim to cordu-
roy, though plain cotton usually works the best. You also
can mix it up using material with different patterns like
stripes or dots. Even solid colors go great with any outfit
BEADED DECOR
In high school, I went through an unfortunate punk-
rock/ emo safety-pin phase I still love safety pins, though
now I try and wear them in a more tasteful, less angry
manner
Safety-pinned beads really can add that extra bit
of happiness to any boring outfit You can buy packag-
es of safety-pins in the craft sections of stores like Wal-
Mart or Target for a fairly cheap price, but if you're a
real cheapskate keep your eyes open fur Ercebies Safe-
ty pins are like pennies - though they're valuable, no
one seems to want them, so they usually end up in the
most random places like kitchen cabinets or your room-
mate's dirty laundry. If you need beads, the best way to
build your collection is also to be on the lookout for ran-
dom opportunities For example, if your grandma cleans
out her jewelry collection from the last few decades, ask
if you can break the three -foot necklaces apart to salvage
the beads Garage sales and thrift stores also are great for
finding different heads
Once you "e rounded up a safety pin and a couple
beads of your choice, you can decide where on your shirt
or jeans you want to embellish Make sure it's an out-of-
the-way spot that won't get caught on anythujg or irri-
tate you Pop open the safety pin and slick it through the
material from the backside Then, slip the beads on the
exposed, outer part uf the pin, leaving enough room to
push the sharp end of the pin back through the materi-
al and pin it shut This way, all you can see are the beads
CM the outside, and it's not permanent like if you sewed
them on. This also works great on purses, backpacks and
even shoes
TAILOR-MADE TOTES
Having trouble finding a purse or tote bag that's up
lo your IMC standards"' Solution: Decorate your own.
Armed with just a few cheap craft supplies, you can add
a lot or a little lo a dull bag
In addition to safety -pinning beads as mentioned
above, you also can embellish with buttons and ribbon.
Buttons and ribbons come in all shapes, sizes and col-
ors and. like beads, can be salvaged from old, unwant-
ed clothing Buttons can be attached either with a hot-
glue gun nr a needle and -thread, which is less messy and
less damaging Ribbons also add a bit of a girly feel to
your tote One fun way lo use ribbon in this instance is
to simply tie it in a Ik in around one of the handles on
your purse or tote bag This works best with wide ribbon.
Thinner ribbon looks great threaded through the outside
of the purse's body or handles To do this, cut liny slots
in the material of the bag and then weave the ribbon in
and out, lying a bow where the two ends meet. This

NEW RELEASES
CDS
Hot Chip's 3rd album contains dance beat, funk grooves
"Made in the Dark"
Rtvlfw by Mirk Sibilli
There have been many
new musical movements
since the beginning of this
millennium. This decade has
made it OK for ncrdy white
kids to dance Bands like 111,
LCD Soundsyslem, The Rap-
ture, Franz Ferdinand and
Justice are just a handful
of the many artists that are
drawing hipsters to the dance
floor.
In 2006, the London
genre-hopping electropop
quintet Hot Chip released its
second album. "The Warn-
ing" which not only was a
huge improvement over the
band's promising debut, but
songs like "And I Was a Boy
from School" and "Over and
Over" rocketed Hot Chip to
indie superstar status
A few weeks ago. Hot
Chip released its highly an-
ticipated third album. "Made
in the Dark" Throughout
the album's 13 tracks, the
band deftly maneuvers be-
tween seemingly incongruous
genres including deep house,
hard rock and smooth K&B.
The album is not as focused
as "The Warning," but de-
spile I he album's uneven flow.
"Made in the Dark" contains
a wide variety of blissful mo-
ments and strong songs
The album begins with
"Out al the Pictures" The
song starts with plodding am
bient synthesizer lines that
eventually begin to move
faster and faster until a slut
tering drum rhythm enters
and kicks the song into high
gear The song's manic ener
gy and buzzing synths makes
me think o I it as the kind of
music video game charac-
ters would have blasting at a
house party
The second track "Shake
a Fist" is an album high-
light. The song's first half con-
tains an aggressive, sub woof-
er pummel ing jungle beat that
segues into a sample from
Todd Rundgrcn's seminal al
bum, "Something/ Anything"'"
The sample is a spoken word
introduction that is cleverly
used lo coincide with the stu-
dio trickery o( l lie track's set
ond half After Rufldgr
speech. Hut Chip ircates a
spjiV-ltlilk poovt so lighl
it • i iuld make Timbaland
blush
"Ready for the Floor ' is
the album's tirst single, and ii
is the perfect song to rcpre
sent Hot Chip's musical m
thetii It is a bouncy, dance-
able and downright cfc
ing song about asking a girl to
dance at a club
The album stumbles with
the song "Bendable Pose-
able." The song just spins its
wheels by laking an interest
ing groove and doing nothing
exciting with it
The band gets back on
its feet with the sweet ballad
"We're Looking for a lot of
Love" Sure, the song sounds
like a million slow- jam cli-
ches packed into four min-
utes, but there is a gooly sin-
cerity and a technical prowess
about it that makes the sung
downright irresistible
The resl of (he album's
midsection continues Strong-
ly with the groovy "Touch
Too Much," the rocking "One
Pure Thought," which finds
the band getting in touch
wilh its inner New Order,
and the taut funk of "Hold
On," which brings to mind the
dense grooves and multiple
polyrhythms of "Remain in
Light era Talking Heads
However, after these tri-
umphs, the album loses steam
and peters out as it crosses
the finish line "Don't Dance"
tries to keep the energy high,
but its weak groove doesn't
hold up lo what came be-
fore it This is followed by two
sleepy ballads that aie good,
but nol great They simply
don't reach the high standard
thai Hot Chip has for creating
touching ballads that aren't
comy
Bui despite the short-
comings of "Made in the
Dark," it has enough redeem-
ing moments that are among
some of Hot Chip's best. It
is a little disappointing that
Hot Chip could nol continue
the successes of "The Warn-
ing" for its third album, but
"Made in ihe Dark" has plen-
ty of highlights that will keep
hipsters' hips shaking for
months

Continued from Page 6
We've got to get going
right off the bat We need to
be pretty good, and I think
we've got an excellent chance
to do that,"
The Wildcats will look to
pick up where they left off at
the end of the full portion of
the season. Their last outing,
a second-place finish in the
Pacific International Nov 5-7,
was their best performance
of the season and one of the
best in school history. In the
tournament, K- State shot
826, the lowest 54-hole score
in school history. The perfor-
mance broke the previous re
cord of 830, which was st-l in
2003
Sophomore Joe Ida also
broke the K Stale mark for
the lowest round on a par-72
by an individual with a score
of 65 As a team, the Wildcats
nearly upset then-No. 1 Char-
lotte, but couldn't hold a late
lead and lost by two strokes
Senior Kyle Yonke will be
in the lineup for the first time
since the Jim Colbert Inler-
ColkgUtfl Sept 24-25. While
he admits he had a shaky start
last fall, he says he's back on
track.
"I struggled for most of
last semester I could nev-
er really find my game," said
.JYonke, the team's lone senior.
■ "'1 made some changes over
break, and I'm hitting a lot
better now. I'm really happy
to get back out there and help
the teiirn"
Yonke has been named to
the Academic All-Big 12 first
team, as well as an All-Ameri
ca scholar by the Golf Coach-
es Association of America He
set several career bests dur-
ing the 2006-07 season at the
Ron Moore Invitational He
said he thinks his experience
could help the team.
"We've got a pretty young
lineup for this tournament,"
he said. "We're taking a true
freshman, two sophomores, a
junior and myself I played in
this tournament last year, so
I'm familiar with the course.
I'll definitely be there to an-
swer questions, especially for
[true freshman] Kyle [Smell] "
Yonke said that the new
indoor practice facility at the
Colbert Hills Goll Club has
helped the team in the off-
season.
"We've been abie to prac-
tice a lot more than in previ-
ous years," he said "It's been
a cold and snowy winter, and
the indoor facility at [Colbert
Hills] has really helped out a
lot."
He said the new facility
allows for more realistic con-
ditions
"It allows us to judge the
ball flight with the wind," Yon-
ke said "At the baseball facil-
ity where we used to prac-
tice, we had to hit into a net
which was only 30 or 40 yards
away."
Yonke and Norris said
they both think the team has
improved during the off-sea-
son and said it appears every
one is ready to get back out
on the course.
"We're really excited to
get out to California and com-
pete," Yonke said "We're defi-
nitely ready to go"

ever, one group of ac-

Though cheesy and
slightly outdated, these
barrettes serve as a great
way to keep my hair out

hair barrettes. you can
use permanent mark- '

words, draw shapes or
even just color them
in. Small stickers can
also add a touch of col-

"They were a Rftfkmal

want to visit them when it was
tliirk uutstde, so they bought her
the landcm so she wouldn't be
alone when she visited them
She had to sell it because she
was moving states
What else do you do for fun
here? Did I hear that you jug-
gle?
I wasn't that much into
juggling before I came here. I
would spend afternoons in the
p;irk because I didn't know
many people yet I juggled the
diabolo it's some kind of a
huge yo-yo and two sticks and
a string. You can send it into the
air and do lots of things with it.
It's about 2,000 or 3,000 years
old. You can call it a Chinese
yoyo as well. It became popu-
lar in England in the 19th cen-
tury. 1 think. The basics was
just a tube and two cylinders
ol bamboo with holes in them
So when it turned, it whistled.
A French engineer invent
ed a better version with two
( uiics. and he called it a diub-
olu. When I came here I start-
ed learning to play with two di-
abolos instead of one I've jug-
gled with the club here a cou-
ple of times. This weekend, we
had a festival here Some peo-
ple drove 10 hours to come.
and we had a couple proles
sional jugglers as well It was
great, because we all learned
new tricks
My parents offered me fire
pois for Christmas You have
two handles and a string go
ing through both handles, with
a weight at the end - it can be
a tennis ball or anything. So
you put the fire pois in white
gu and light it on fire, and you
spin it all around you. I've done
it twice, but I need to practice
it more without the fire
Do you play any instru-
ments?
I play a bit of guitar Oth
erwisc, 1 play the didgeridoo. 1
started playing years ago Be-
fore I came here, I sat down
with my mother and broth-
er at a good shop that special-
ized in didgendoos and bought
a cheaper one, but it was still
good.
Do you play any sporti here?
I play inline hockey with
the club learn here We go to
Junction City twice a week to
play since Manhattan doesn't
have a rink We're apparent-
ly the strongest league in the
country. I think we won na-
tionals We have about 10 to
15 people in the club right
now
WEBINAR | Session
educates advisers
ujntlnutf from Paget
president for education and person-
al development.
According to urum>.nacada. ksu.
edit, a Webinar is a live event pre-
sented over the Internet,'' The Web
site also said the Webinar was pre-
sented by Jennifer Joslin from the
University of Iowa and Casey Self
from Arizona State University, both
academic- advising directors at their
respective colleges. Lynch said this
shows the versatility of a Webinar,
in that it can be viewed anywhere,
anytime, by people all across the
country or world.
Lynch, who helped organize
and also attended the Webinar. said
he wanted to be involved in the pro-
cess to help educate his advisers
"This was sort of an inservke
training for advisers." he said. "Part
of my responsibilities include deal
ing with advisers - I want them to
be educated on this topic and know
how to handle certain situations"
Lynch also works with Leigh
Cunningham. NACADA's coordi-
nator of educational programs. Cun-
ningham said this Webinar is just
one in a series of 1 1 for the 2007-08
school year. She said there is an ad-
visory board made up of NACADA
members who choose topics for the
Webinars
"We thought this particular
subject would be good for academ-
ic advisers to get a taste of because
it's something a lot people just don't
discuss." Cunningham said.
She said the Webinar ad-
dressed issues like what advisers
should know about GLBTQA life-
styles and how they can educate
themselves on terminology and re-
lating to students Cunningham also
said NACADA received a very posi-
tive response from the advisers who
attended the Webinar.
Chelsey Fritch, junior in vocal
performance, said for gays and les-
bians, sexual orientation is just one
aspect of their lives.
"There are so many more parts
of | people's] lives that matter,"
Fritch said. "But we do need to cre-
ate more of an understanding here
on campus."
Fritch, president of K- State's
Progressive Alliance - formerly
the Queer/Straight Alliance - said
though she hasn't personally seen
the Webinar on GLBTQA issues,
she supports the fact it is spreading
awareness on campus.
"As long as it's giving an ac-
curate account of what it's like
to be GLBTQA," Pritch said
Then 1 think it's great
"If you're unsure of who you
are. then having an adviser who
understands and can relate to
GLBTQA issues will be very benefi-
cial But if you're confident in your
self and your sexual orientation,
then you don't realty even need an
adviser to talk about ft."

Zoliman. university distinguished
prgfewot and head of the Depart-
ment ol Physics.
"Overall, from the types of
questions we had at the end and
the students I talked to at the end,
I think it related very well," Zoll-
man said "He was able to ex-
plain very complicated research
and how il relates to people even
if they don't understand the phys-
ics."
The Peterson Public Lecture
Series in Physics sponsored Phil-
lips' lecture. Now in its second
year at K-State, Chester Peter-
son Jr. said he endowed the lec-
ture series as a catalyst (or young
students to get them interested in
physics.
Peterson, who received two
bachelor's and a master's degree
from K-State, also said Phillips'
enthusiasm captured audience
members during his lecture.
"He communicated well to
the audience, and he took some-
thing that was semitechnical and
put it in a way people could un-
derstand," said Peterson, a Linds-
borg, Kan., resident "He showed
that the world is so complex and
that youngsters can have a part in
it"

Emotional moments
Senior Stewart brings passion, character to team, should be rememberei
Somewhere along the line
in collegiate spurts, the term slu
dent-athlete seems to have all
but disap-
peared. In to-
day's NCAA
atmosphere, it
is the TV rat
ings. nation-
al media ex-
posure, en-
dorsements
and revenue
generated that JOI
h as become bergkamp
the bar used
to measure
the success of programs and ath
letes alike.
It is rare for a school to be
able to recruit the type of play
er that can bring all of those in-
gredients to a university. The
types of players that do that have
last names like Beaslcy, Walk
er. Mayo and Durant. As rare as
players like that come around, il
might even be less frequent for
a player like senior guard Gent
Stewart lo turn up
While playing in 1 19 games
as a Wildcat. Stewart has been
an All-Big 12 Academic Team
member and as a representa-
tive of the Winter Sports Good
Works Team, another honor be
stowed upon him by the Big 1 2
Conference With job offers al
ready lined up after his May
2008 graduation in information
systems, Stewart's career is in it's
swan song, but his legacy here at
K-State is only it its infancy.
The 6-feet-4-inch guard
from Tulsa, OkJa., did not come
to K-Statc with the type of fan-
fare thai has surrounded the pro-
gram as of late In fact, he came
into an entirely different system
of K-Stale basketball, a program
mired in mediocrity In his fresh-
man season, Stewart was the
true-freshman who started all 29
games for the Wildcats
He became the lead
ing freshman in assists for the
2004-05 Big 12 season Stew
art also has set several records
at K State. Most notably, he has
the single-season assists record,
breaking It inner guard Steve
Hensun's mark. Since his fresh-
man season. Clent has moved
up into second all-time in ca-
reer assists at K-State. However,
the Stewart's humbleness shines
through when it comes to his re-
cords
"In four years, Jacob [Pul-
len] will have that No 2, maybe
No. 1 spot," Stewart said
Adversity has also followed
Clent over the last four years at
K Slate with coaching chang-
es and the recent death of his
mother, Vanessa Stewart
While changing coaches
midway through a career might
deter some athletes. Stewart has
approached it in a positive way.
"It's been kind of fun," he
said "Learning three different
styles of basketball, there hasn't
been room for complacency, so
it's been a different learning ex-
perience every year."
When Stewart's mother died
from cancer on Feb. 5. the Wild-
cat fan base showed an outpour-
ing of support and respect for
the entire Stewart family that did
not go unnoticed
"It was tremendous, all
the cards and sympathy was so
helpful," Stewart said. "It real-
ly shows the character of the In-
stall* community It shows that
it's not all just about basket
ball It's about life and learning
and family, and (he fans really
showed mat ihis is a family"
While VamtM Stewart
might not be ahle to make the
trips to Manhattan anymore in
person, Clent said he knows
she is still doing what she loved
most, watching her son play bas-
ketball.
"Knowing that she's final-
ly pain-free and watching down
over me definitely motivates me,"
he said. "She's my hero and in-
spiration, and every time I go out
onto the basketball floor and do
what she loved to watch me do I
think about her"
On the court, Stewart had
to assume the role of seasoned
veteran on a team that boasts
eight newcomers While a sensa-
tional amount of talent came in
with this new class, so did some
inexperience.
"Young kids tend to be up
and down, that's just human na-
ture for tit- 13 year olds," coach
Prank Martin said. "You have to
expect these emotional changes.

Clent has provided us with a guy
that can fill (hat role."
Martin said he hopes his
own sons demonstrate Gent's
character in their own lives
"I have two sons that 1 hope
lo grow up to be like Gent Slew-
art." he said "If they can grow
up ti i be 22 years old and be the
type of guy that he is. then I'm
going to be a proud father"

Band of brothers
Unprecedented freshman class brings personality to Wildcat basketball team
ByWtndyHiun
KANSAS STATE COLLEGIAN
This has been a sea-
son to remember, from fresh-
nun forward Michael Beas-
ley*s obsession with Sponge
Bob Square Pan is to the on -go-
ing iPod saga during post-game
press conferences And who
could forget freshman forward
BUI Walker calling out the faith
of the media following the game
against KU Jan. 30' That's the
part of the No I Rimls.com
class the rest of the world sees
But ask any one of the
players what they sec, and they
will tell you that they see fami-
ly when they look at their team-
mates
"I love all of them like a
brother," Beasley said.
They all said they hang out
on an almost constant basis
playing video games, watching
college basketball, eating.
"Everybody enjoys each
other's company," freshman for-
ward Ron Anderson said "I
know somebody, somewhere is
hanging out with another mem-
ber of the team"
Many of them knew each
other Beasley, Anderson, fresh-
man forward Jamar Samuels

"1 knew it was going |Q be

were a lot stronger, but I didn't
know to whal extent," Anderson
said. "I think Scott Greenawall
[the basketball strength and
conditioning coach] did a good
job of preparing me and the
rest of the learn for what come
ahead I can see how much I've
progressed ... It's helped me out
down the stretch"
Gilbert agreed with Ander
son, although his first thought
was the tack of money college
students have at their disposal
"rniskctball-wise, on the
court, it's size and strength,"
he said "You feel like you're a
good basketball player where
you come from, but the thing
about college is everybody is
the besl where they came from
We had to come together and
it's very competitive. You have
to compare size and strength in
college"
For another teammate, it
was between the competitive-
ness of the Big 12, as well as the
weather
The biggest surprise was
how physical it is. the Big 12 es-
pecially," Brown said "Also, for
me, coming from Florida, I had

sleeping schedule Sometimes, I
go to sleep at one or two o'clock
in the morning and 1 have to be

hours of sleep that 1 got in high
school."
While the others might be
stressed about class. Beasley
said there's plenty of lime for
him to be worrying.
"I'm too young to be
stressed," he said
FAN SUPPORT
Almost everyone said the
best thing about K State was
the Ian support Some of them,
it caught off-guard To others, it
was no surprise
"1 love ihe fans," Pullen
said "When we step in Bram-
lage ... when wc walk out there
at the 1 1 minute mark to go into
the locker room, there could be
I 1,000 open seats and we walk
out and there's no open seats.
It gets crowded really fast and
I love that I saw it in Midnight
Madness last year, when [Bob
ilugginsl was out here. I came
out and saw when KU played
K State here last year. I was
ready for if
Brown agreed with Pullen,
saying the fans were the "most
energetic fans ever." Anderson
also said Ihe Wildcat nation was
a big part of Ihe package when
he committed here.
They had a big influence
on my committing here," he
said. 'They show so much sup-
port for the basketball team and
program and everybody here I
had to commit here I love be-
ing around the fans because
they show great support for us"
Beasley was another player
who agreed about the fan sup-
port
"I love them and they love
me," he said. "1 love Manhat-
tan"
However, there was one
new addition lo ihe team who
had an entirely different It
sponse
"It would have lo be the
Wabash |Cannonball] 1 love it."
Gilbert said with a laugh.
While il may have taken
awhile before everyone really
worked well together, Gilbert
said it wasn't long before ihcy
really combined their styles of
play
"It's bringing our basket-
ball styles together and incor-
porating coaching slyles and
teaming the scheme of things,"
he said "With us being new, it
was a new offense so we had to
leam everything and put it to-
gether on the court"

Guard Frtd P««t« goes up for a rebound against Texas A&M in 2005. Peete transferred to New Mexico State
following his sophomore year.
Roster has seen fair share of changes
JUSTIN
NUTTER
Tuke a look back lo the
end of the 2005-06 men's bas-
ketball season The Wildcats
had just re
leased former
coach )im
Wooldridge
and had bid
farewell to se-
niors Schyler
Thomas, |osh
Campbell,
Drainane Dt-
arra, Mark
Frederick and
Kyle Taylor.
The re-
maining Wildcats waited to
hear who their new coach
would be, and juniors Cartier
Martin, Lance Harris, Akeem
Wright and Serge Afeli were
preparing lo take on their new
roles as the team's senior lead-
ers. Their younger teammates.
including sophomores Cleni
.Stewart, David Hoskins and
Curtis Allen and freshmen Dar-
ren Kent and Deliver Vearby,
would look up lo these four
young men
Fast forward to the end
of the 2006-07 season. Logic-
would say K Slate's new coach
is beginning preparations for
his second season The Wild-
cats had recently honored four
players on senior night, and
Stewart. Hoskins and Allen are
getting ready lo step in as the
team's new leaders, right^
Wrong In reality, the
Wildcats actually honored five
players on senior night (in-
sert guard lennaine Maybank,
a transfer from St. John's), K-
State's new coach, Bob Hug-
gins, had just left K State for
West Virginia, and two guys by
the names of Blake Young and
lames Franklin - nol Curtis Al
leu - were about to join Stew-
art and Hoskins as the new
leaders of the team It's amaz
ing what can happen in one
year, isn't it?
This is just a small sam-
ple of the amount of change
that K-State's mens basketball
program has witnessed in the
past few years. Since the 2003-
04 season five years ago, Eight
memorable players have left
the team for reasons other than
graduation
CURTIS ALLEN
Allen, who would have
been a member of this year's
senior class, transferred to
Oral Roberts after his sopho-
more year. The guard has seen
uction in 15 games with the
Golden Eagles He's averaging
10 8 minutes and 4 1 points per
contest He was tin the bench
to witness their upset of Kansas
last season. Needless to say, he
miirl*1 h^vp (Hitler i vimr* ntairino
I
lime in a win over Kansas if he
would have stayed at K Slate
DEZW1LLINGHAM
Willingham, a guard who
would have graduated last sea-
son with the Wildcats, trans-
ferred to Southern Method-
ist University after his fresh
man campaign. Last season, he
saw action in all of the Mus-
tangs' 3 1 games, including 14
starts. He averaged 5.4 points
per contest and shot a team-
best 82 9 percent from the free
throw line.
FRED PEETE
Peete also would have
been in the class of 2007. but
chose to transfer to New Mex-
ico State after his sophomore
year. The guard, now a senior
because of the red -shirt year he
received when he transferred,
has started in all 30 contests for
the Aggies this season, and is
averaging 10.6 points per game
TYLER HUGHES
Hughes is a guy who many
Wildcat faithful consider easy
to forget. The 6-foot- 1 1 for-
ward was released front (he
[earn after the 2005 06 season
when his name was registered
in the Kansas Bureau of In-
vestigation's registered sex of-
fender database This wasn't a
huge loss for the Wildcats, as
Hughes averaged a whopping
1.7 points and two rebounds in
26 games that season
MARQUES HAYDEN
Hayden is the only play-
er on the list to leave the team
in the middle of a season The
forward, who was averaging
6.8 points his junior year, was
released on Feb 14, 2005, be-
cause of misbehavior off the
court. He transferred to Wash-
bum the next season, but was
released again after being ar-
rested three times in as many
months This is obviously not
the kind of attention that any
team wants, so the Wildcats
were probably better off
DELIVEZYEARBY
Yearby, who would cur-
rently be a junior at K State,
chose to leave the Wildcats af-
ter last season He is current-
ly honoring a redshirl at Indi-
ana-Purdue at Fort Wayne If
he stays with the Mastodons
for the remainder of his career,
he'll have two years of eligibili-
ty after this season
RYAN PATZWALD
Patzwald, more common-
ly known as "thai kid with
the mohawk," was only at K
State for one season The for-
mer walk -no fmm Pinriftnnti
who would have been a mem-
ber of this year's graduating
class, came here with Huggins
and followed suit by going with
him to West Virginia He must
have realized that Huggins is
the only coach in the coun-
try that was going to give him
more than two seconds of play-
ing lime
JASON BENNETT
I had to save the best for
last. Bennett was possibly the
highest -ranked high school re-
cruit to play for the Wildcats
until this season, but if you
watched him play at all, you
would have never guessed it.
In 27 games last season, in-
cluding nine starts, the center,
now a sophomore al Tallahas-
see Community College, aver-
aged just 1 9 points and 2.6 re-
bounds per contest These are
unacceptable numbers for any
player, but especially for a guy
like Bennett, who is lO-foot-8
and has a wingspan of about
28 yards. I might be exaggerat-
ing a little bit, but you get the
point: The guy was a flop
It's almost overwhelming
to think about how different
the 2007-08 squad would look
il asm of these guys had de-
cided to stick around or if oth-
er players such as Young, ju
nior forward Andre Gilbert,
and redshirt sophomore guard
Denis Clemen te, had chosen
another school Also, let's not
forget what came from hiring
Huggins. He might be gone al-
ready, but took at the impact
he made in just one year Think
about what would have hap-
pened if he had never coached
at K- Slate No Huggins means
no Frank Martin or Dalontc
Hill, which means no Michael
Beasley, no Bill Walker, no Ja-
cob Pullen, and none of the
other freshmen or sophomores
currently on the Cats' rosier
Except for Beasley and
possibly Walker, it appears the
Wildcats have a core of young,
talented players who don't
seem to be going anywhere
However, K-Slate has definite-
ly learned in the last few years
that just about anything cause
an explosion within a team's
roster, and things can change in
the blink of an eye.
Hopefully that won't hap-
pen, and it's highly unlikely
that anything will, but K State
fans are well aware of what can
happen to a roster in almost
no time at all Like I said, it's
amazing what can happen in
one year, isn't it?

Wildcats should be in better postseason position than last year
©
It's time to take a quick
flashback to last year - right
around this time to be exact.
The Wild-
cats, under
former head
coach Bob
Huggins,
were work-
ing their
way toward
an NCAA
Tournament
bcrlh and
had a 21 10,
10-6 Big 12
Conference
record heading into the Big
12 Tournament.
Many felt that a win
in the Big 12 Tournament
would place the fourth-
KELLY
WILLIAMS
place-finishing Wildcats into
the NCAA held of 65 for the
first time since 1996. After
a convincing win over Texas
Tech and a close loss to Kan-
sas, K- State was still denied
an invite to the Big Dance
The above scenario was
devastating lo the K Stale
nation and, most important-
ly, the Wildcat team thai had
played its heart out the entire
year It was difficult to see
seniors like C artier Martin
and Lance Harris deprived
of playing in the most presti-
gious of post-season tourna-
ments.
However, many believed
that this would never happen
again. Any K-State team that
got that close would get the
nod, no matter what side-
ways rationale the Selection
Committee could come up
with. A team that achieved
ten conference wins, a
fourth -place finish and 23
wins overall would never,
ever be uninvited again
What's disappointing is
this year's team has played
themselves into the exact
same scenario as the 2006-
07 team Willi two confer-
ence games left, ihe Wildcats
need to win both in order to
guarantee a lop four placing
in the conference and also
a first-round bye in the Big
12 Tournament Yes, Ihe sky
is starting to creep down to-
ward the Earth, hut lucki-
ly, there is some lime left to
r 776-5577 _,
umm
Wear Your Pride!
stop it from crashing com-
pletely down on K-State
Tonight's game against
Colorado could not come
at a better time The low-
ly Buffaloes enter Manhat-
tan with the worst record in
the Big 12 and really nothing
to play for. Sure, they could
play spoiler, but a motivat-
ed and distraught K-State
team - on Senior Night, no
less - should be able to use
Colorado as a punching bag.
All of the pent up anger and
disgust that the Wildcats
might have developed over
this four-game losing streak
should be released tonight.
After Colorado, K-State
will venture up north to take
on Iowa State, another cel-
lar-dweller of the Big 12.
Though the Wildcats have
had recent trouble on the
road, a win at Iowa Stale
is clearly in the cards and
also a must for the team. If
you can not win on the road
against lesser opponents at
the end of the season, then
you do not deserve an invite
to the NCAA tournament
Secure this win and along
with it comes a top-four fin-
ish in the league and an all-
important win total of 20
If the Wildcats stand at
20-10 and fourth place in the
Big 12 going into the confer-
ence tournament, it is all but
certain that we will be seeing
this team in the Big Dance.
It is tough to imagine a team
with freshmen forwards Mi-
chael Beasley and Bill Walk-
er being left out after all they
have done this year.
The 2007-08 K-State
basketball season has been
a memorable one thus far.
With two wins and a good
showing at the Big 12 Tour-
nament at the Sprint Center
in Kansas City, Mo , we will
be seeing the Wildcats once
again in the Big Dance. I
will say to keep your fingers
crossed though, because cra-
zier things have happened in
the recent past.

Students can choose between Tyrone "Red Beard" Schurr and Lydla Nele today for K- State's Student body president by going to www.k-itatt.edu/eleaions/'.
Pirates offer alternative to ordinary ; Peele, Swift emphasize 3 changes
Dear Students,
Captain "Red Beard" Schurr
and First Mate Carlson greatly
appreciate the support of the K-
State student
body We feel
honored that
voters have
placed their
I in the pi-
Btes
We have
en accused
Bf being not
erious, being
not willing
fco serve and
eing smelly These are lies of
Jinja propaganda We are seri-
ous - we will serve and we do
bathe, usually on Thursday. We
[are not just ordinary politicians
J- anyone can be a plain poll-
I tician, but we bring something
[extra.
We see that K state is rally-
I ing behind issues like the Ninja
SCHURR
crisis, fiscal responsibility, fun
in politics and the Touch-
down Cannon. Ninjas are still
a threat at K-State from their
dark, hiding places and still
the Pirates arc the only ones
prepared for the challenge of
seeking them out. No other
campaign could have done the
tremendous work and gathered
such great support as we have
done on our small budget that
is clear of all donations, special
interest money and plundering
We have endeavored to put fun
and humor in K-state politics,
bridging gaps with laughter and
giving many a reason to vote
We do not seek to reinstate
the Touchdown Cannon just
because pirates like cannons,
but because we have found
that people want the cannon
to sound the marks of K-Siate's
victorious accomplishments
Some might think that the
pirates don't think big. We have
an excellent satellite campus in
Salina, and we believe it is time
to set up another. We want
to sail up the Kansas River to
Lawrence, take command of
their school and annex it, turn-
ing it into K-State Lawrence
This is no small task, and it
will take time to turn the ship
around and bring it up to par
with our current campuses in
Manhattan and Salina
We are often asked "What
are you going to do for me?"
Beginning today and continu-
ing through Wednesday, we
will be in the K-State Student
Union giving away name -brand
pirate hats
We again acknowledge the
power of the student votes to
get us here, to keep (he pirate
cause alive and to seek the best
for K-State - and we are sin-
cerely thankful. Come aboard.
join the crew, make your mark
and ih ink Cannon!
- Tyrone "Red Beard" Schurr
Dear Students.
Students need a strong
voice to speak on their behalf
to ensure they are receiving
all that they
can during
their time
here at K
State During
recent years,
we have seen
great changes
and progress
happening
all over our
university.
But we do
not want to stop there. We are
proud of the way our school
continues to reach for more.
and we want to play our part
in matching K-State in this ef-
fort.
The campaign for more
proposes three issues that will
benefit the university now and
in the future
PEELE
First, we want to offer
more peace of mind to the K-
Stalc community. Every stu-
dent should feel comfortable
and safe on their campus To
foster this environment, we
believe that proactive and
preventative action is neces-
sary We plan to do this by
increasing police presence on
campus, working with univer-
sity administration to address
student -safety concerns with-
in the parking garage, and en-
hancing services provided to
students to help them feel safe
in their community.
Next, we want to ensure
our university more for the
future. We recently received
a D+ on our college sustain-
ibility report card from the
Sustainable Endowments In-
stitute. We feel K-Slale can do
better. Our plan includes a vi-
sion to unify current campus
efforts and further explore in-
novative revenue options for
a stronger campus recycling
program
Finally, Robert and 1 want
to make sure students receive
more for their money This
year as a full-time student,
you paid $609.80 in Student
Privilege Fees We believe it
is our duty to make sure that
you receive the best services
in return To do this we will
evaluate the quality -of -care
and services Lafene Health
Center (the recipient of one-
third of your fees) provides
and ensure accountability to
other entities that receive stu-
dent funding
At the end of the day, Rob-
ert and I are students first.
We like to have a great time,
and we love seeing our school
thrive. Because of this, we are
dedicated to seeing the issues
that affect students at all dif-
ferent levels be addressed

Pair shares different perspectives,
same goals for good of university
By Adrtinrw OWw»
KANSAS STATE CDUfblAN
Peele said she never thought
she would want to run another
campaign after she was elected
student body vice president in
March 2007
Peele, senior in secondary
education-mathematics, said
she changed her mind last se-
mester and decided to run for
student body president in late
November While she par-
ticipated in her high-school
student council, Peele said K
State Student Governing As-
sociation served as a different
experience - but she hadn't
planned to run as president
from her SGA start
"I think almost any fresh-
man who gets involved with
student government that
thought probably crosses their
mind as to what they want to
do in the future," Peele said
"But it wasn't a plan of mine
by any means I learned a lot
from the experiences I've had
here at K State and gained
some confidence in my abili-
ties"
Peele and her running
mate, Robert Swift, both said
they had expected to receive
questions about a female presi-
dential candidate and male
vice presidential candidate, but
they have received more ques-
tions about their campaign
platform Hayley Urkevich and
Erik Ankrom served as the last
K- State female -male student
body president and vice presi-
dent in 2004-05.
"With any organization I've
worked with, females in these
organizations have been some
of the best leaders and some of
the most effective members,"
said Swift, junior in political
science. "We haven't received
many questions about it, and I
think dial's the way it should
be"
Peele could make K-State
history Wednesday as the first
student body vice president
elected as student body presi-
dent
It has been 11 years since
a student body vice president
ran for student body presi-
dent at K-Slale While the
vice president position existed

primaries for the Student Governing Association student body
presidential race by winning about half of the votes.
for several years in the 1950s,
Student Governing Associa-
tion reinstated the position in
spring 1993.
Peele and Swift initially met
through KSU Student Foun-
dation and Student Senate
Beyond their professional re-
lationship, Peele said she con-
siders Swift a close, respect
able friend with whom there is
"never a dull moment,"
With the pair's booth at the
K-State Student Union and in
her classes, Peele said she has
learned about students' visions
for K-State. Campaign signs,
chalking and T-shirts are nee
essary for name recognition,
but conversations with stu
dents regarding their K-State
needs are most important dur-
ing campaigns, Peele said.
"People have a lot to say,
and 1 think a lot of times some-
one needs to take the time to
listen," she said. "I think that's
more valuable than anything
l' 1st-"
Peele and Swift both said
they would like to see more
students vote in the general
election this week Primary
election turnout last week was
lower than 2007 - 2,614 vol-
ets participated in last week's
general election, while 3,363
voters participated in 2007's
primary election
"It's good to see compeli
tion for the process overall,"
Swift said
Congress shall make no
law respecting an
establishment of religion,
or prohibiting the free
exercise thereof; or
abridging the freedom of
speech, or of the press; or
the right of the people
peaceably to {assemble,

Government for a redress

Pirates say they joined to combat
ninjas, bring laughter to election
By Jenna Scavuuo
KANSAS STATS COLLitilAN
Two years ago, a pair of fu-
ture-Pirates discovered each
other's nearly identical inter-
ests and similarities that now
support them as they brave
walking the plank into their
campaign for student body
president and vice president
Pirate-thcmed running
mates Tyrone "Red Beard"
Schurr, senior in electrical
engineering, and Scott "First
Male" Carlson, junior in elec-
trical engineering, first met
when Schurr was the sound
engineer for the K-State Sing-
ers.
While searching for a job,
Carlson found Schurr's name
on the K-State Singer's Web
site and then contacted him
to discuss the sound-engi-
neering position for the Sing-
ers.
Schurr was leaving the
position and he said Carlson
was hired as the new sound
engineer They have remained
friends since then.
Carlson said he and Schurr
think along similar lines and
understand each other. He
said Schurr is older and a
more experienced visionary,
while Carlson has more lo-
gistical thinking.
"Even if I don't know how
to explain myself fully, Ty-
rone knows what I'm talk-
ing about," Carlson said. "If I
ever have a question or situ-
ation he's there for me. Our
interests are pretty much ex-
actly the same, too. "
Schurr said these immense
similarities and their past ex-
periences help them work ex-
ceedingly well together
"I'm basically just an older
version of Scott," Schurr said
"We share a scary number
of similarities. Even before
we stalled our campaign to-
gether, he would come by to
counsel - we would sit down
and solve problems for the K-
State Singers. We would dis-
cuss and reveal possibilities
and solutions for them "
Schurr said he wanted
to find someone to begin a
student-body presidential
campaign with, and when he

asked Carlson to join him, he
readily agreed.
He said they formed the pi-
rate theme because he heard
lhat a pair of ninja-themed
candidates was possibly cam-
paigning, too.
Schurr said he and Carl-
son have brought laughter
and personality to collegiate
politics, and he thinks these
amicable components will ul-
timately be able to bring stu-
dents together lor the greater
good of K-State.
"Students are most com-
fortable and open to those
who are approachable,"
Schurr said. "We have so
many students come up to us
and just talk to us about their
ideas and issues. We bring
people together through
laughter and personality,
which are two things that are.
very non-conventional in pol-
itics. They are two traits lhat
can easily connect and open
students up to new ideas, and
can bring the students of K-
State closer together as a
whole."
Schurr said though he and
Carlson have a lighthearted
and approachable stance
in their campaign, students
should also take the Pirates
seriously.
He said they have great
ideas, can communicate with
others and have a passion for
helping K-State students and
their causes as much as they

Proposed roundabout could begin late this year
By Scott Girard
KANSAS STATE COLLEGIAN
The construction of a
multi-lane roundabout at
Fourth Street and Bluemont
Avenue could begin as soon as
the end of this year, funneling
traffic to two lanes on Blue
mont for perhaps as long as a
year
Buck Driggs, engineering
field technician at HWS Con
suiting in Manhattan, which
is designing much of the re-
development project, said he
realistic ally expects the proj-
ect to start next spring but it
could start sooner if issues are
resolved quickly enough.
"Our hopes are that we
can start the construction in
early spring, so that we can
keep traffic under control with
all the students leaving in the
summer," Driggs said.
The Walgreens store will
not be moved, but houses on
the other three corners of the
intersection must be moved
to make room for the round-
about.
Driggs said he is negoti
a ting where and how to move
the houses with several area
preservation groups, and he
expects the issue to be re-
solved soon The most like-
ly solution, he said, is mov-
ing the houses back farther on
their property
Linda Glasgow, president
of the Manhattan/Fort Riley
Preservation Alliance, said the
three houses have been labeled
historic houses in Manhattan
because of their age and build-
ing material She said one of
the houses, the Sofia larbeaux
house, which has stood at its
current location since 187 1 , is
made of limestone and would
be difficult to move.
"I think the best possible
thing for those houses would
be to keep them where they
are," she said "But the city
needs to look long and hard
for options of where to move
these places."
She said city officials
have kept the historic aspects
of these houses in mind, but
they also need to remember
that historic houses like those
at the intersection help identi-
fy a city.
"Limestone is one way
Manhattan stands out from
other cities, in addition to usu-
ally being beautiful homes,"
she said
Driggs said Bluemont Av-
enue will remain open when
construction begins; the con-
struction company will build
half of the roundabout at a
time to maintain two-way
traffic Fourth Street south of
Bluemont is already closed
due to construction

Parents of new generation
more involved in college
students' life decisions
Photo Illustration by Jonathan Knight | COLLEGIAN
Parents have more say in their students' college activities and career choices than in the past.
These parents are known as "hovering "or "helicopter parents.
NEWSIES
freshmen, and even transfer students, can find tips on how to balance involvement and
make it through the different phases of a new. college life at www.kiu.edu.
By Hannah Blkk
KANSAS STATE COLLEGIAN
When Trenton Amen
decided to go out-of-state to
attend college for his degree
in aviation sciences, he didn't
know he would be learn-
ing not only how to fly heli-
copters, but also how to deal
with these hovering aircraft
known as parents.
A recent report from
www.CNN.com said over-
involved parents are now
recognized by students and
professionals as "helicop-
ter" or "hovering" parents,
and Georgia Tech's director
of admissions in grid Hayes
said these types of moms and
dads are becoming an even
larger part of the college-ad-
missions process each year,
according to the Feb. 5 arti-
cle.
"I come from an ex-
tremely close family, but 1
knew I wanted to get out on
my own." Amen, a freshman
professional pilot major, said.
"And they were supportive of
that • it's just been hard be-
cause I think my mom espe
daily still wants to be a con-
stant in my life."
According to the CNN
report, Amen's parents are
not (he only ones struggling
to turn loose of their child
during the transition from
high school to college
The report, conduct-
ed by the National Survey of
Student Engagement, found
that 85 percent of first-year
college students were in fre-
quent contact with their
mother via phone or com-
puter, while 71 percent of
freshmen communicated fre-
quently with their fathers.
The report also record
ed lower grades alongside
the higher levels of parent in-
volvement
Carta (ones, senior asso-
ciate dean of student life, said
helicopter parents are a more
recent phenomenon that
professionals have just begun
to address in about the last
eight years. She said the Of-
fice of Student Life receives a
varying number of calls from
concerned parts - about one
or two per week - request-
ing access to everything from
students' academic profiles
to their financial records
"There are federal priva-
cy laws that prohibit us from
sharing this information with
them," )ones said. "The only
way we can give them access
to a student's private pro
file like that is if the student
comes in and signs permis-
sion to let them see it. But we
cant do that without the stu-
dent's approval."
limes also said she has
received many phone calls
and e-mails from parents and
other relatives of students
who are concerned about the
students' well-being For ex
ample, if the student is strug-
gling in a class or is dealing
with a personal issue, she
said.
"When somebody con-
tacts us like that, we take it
seriously." )ones said "We
definitely always let the stu-
dent know that 'Hey. some-
one is concerned about you,'
and then we leave it up to
them to decide what to do
with it But we also let them
know that we're here if they
need anything"

filed a lawsuit against the City
of Manhattan because of al
leged violations the city made
in regards to the downtown re-
development project Today, a
judge is scheduled to determine
if the first part of the suit will go
forward
Manhattan Citizens for
Sustainable Downtown Rede-
velopment was formed a few
months ago in response to the
City Commission's decision to
overturn the recommendation
by the planning board on an
amendment to the downtown
redevelopment, said Debbie
Nuss, one of the group's lead-
ers, MCSDR is a private, non-
profit group incorporated with
the state of Kansas, she said.
The amendment in ques-
tion increased the amount of
space available for the Hy-
Vec grocery store from a pre
vious maximum size of 68,000
square feet to at least 78,000
square feet, with a maximum
93,000 square feet, Nuss said.
The group, along with Gar-
cia-Quaintance Apartments.
the Manhattan /Riley County
Preservation Alliance and sev-
en community members, filed
a petition in mid- February that
alleged the city of Manhat-
tan violated procedural issues
when the amendment was ad-
opted, according to a statement
mi the group's Web site.
"At the very least, we want
our city officials to follow the
rules and the laws that are pro-
vided to protect the communi-
ty's interest in this type of situa-
tion." Nuss said
City Attorney William
Frost said he didn't have much
to say about the lawsuit, but
that he had spoken with the
plaintiffs' lawyer
Ronald Schneider, a Law-
rence based lawyer with expe-
rience in land use and preser-
vation lawsuits, is representing
MCSDR and the other plain
tiffs.
The lawsuit has two parts
- it deals with both a preserva-
in hi statute and a zoning stat
i lie. Schneider said
The preservation statute
issue is scheduled to be heard
in court today, while (he zon-
ing statute will be discussed at
a later date, Schneider said.
The plaintiffs are arguing
that the state historic preserva
tion officer was not given prop-
er notice of the amendment
as required by law, Schneider
said
Three historic sites - Da-
mon Run ytiii House, Commu
nity House and the Downtown
Manhattan Historic District
- are located within 500 feet
of the development area, and
therefore, the city should have
alerted the preservation officer.
who would have determined if
those areas might be negative-
ly affected by the amendment's
changes. Nuss said.
Benefit
concert
promotes
awareness
By Sheila Ellis
KANSAS STATE COLLEGIAN i
To raise awareness of
the global AIDS epidemic, K-
State's Silver Key Sophomore
Honors society and Union Pro-
gramming Council will host
"Face AIDS," a benefit concert
tonight.
The bands Flee The Seen,
McCoy and Lucy's Revenge
will perform starting at 7:30
p.m. in the K .-State Student
Union Ballroom.
Silver Key has partnered
with Face AIDS, a student
campaign to fight AIDS in Afri-
ca, along with colleges, univer
si ties and high schools world
wide
"Students lead the way in
terms of making change." said
Ashley Guenther, member of
Silver Key and junior in agri-
cultural economics "If students
recognize the value of acknowl-
edging the AIDS epidemic, the
world will follow soon."
According to the Face
AIDS Web site, the organiza-
tion is driven by a belief in a
simple fact: AIDS is a prevent-
able and treatable disease Yet
in 2007, more than two mil-
lion people died from AIDS,
the majority of whom lived in
southern Africa
The organization engag-
es young people by connecting
them with individuals affected
by the pandemic and with op-
portunities to fight the virus. I
Silver Key will sell AID!
Awareness Pins on cam put
made by men and women al
fected by AIDS Students win
receive the name, picture and
story of the individuals who
made the pin who work in
income-generating support
groups in rural Rwanda.
Silver Key will have a ta-
ble in the Union from 10 am
to 1 p.m. today, where they will
be selling the AIDS awareness
pins, and tickets for the con-
cert at $3 in advance and $5 at
the door Guenther said after
1 p.m., students can purchase
tickets for the advanced price
at the Union Program Council
office on the third floor of the
Union.
Emily Surdez, Silver Key
member and freshman in ag-
riculture education, said this
event is a way for students to
get involved with funding re-
search to find a cure for AIDS,
"1 think that some poini
in your life you'll know some-
one who's infected with aids,
and it is nice to know that you
did something to help fund re-
search," she said.
All money raised by Face
AIDS is matched by grants
from private donors and given
to support Partners In Health
clinics in Rwanda Partners In
Health is widely recognized
as a model organization treat
ing AIDS and providing com
prehensive health care in poor
countries
Guenther said this is Silver
Key's first event like this and is
an event they hope to continue
next year
"Whether it is affecting K-
State and Manhattan, [AIDS)
is something that has world-
wide effects," she said "It is an
awesome endeavor," she said.

CAMPUS CRIME
Students discover property damaged,
stolen on K-State campus this weekend
By Staff Raporti
KANSAS STATE COLLEGIAN
Several thefts and a hit-
and-run accident occurred
this weekend on the K-State
campus.
A white 2004 Ford Fo-
cus was reported stolen
from the B3 parking lot, ac-
cording to a K-State Police
report.
The B3 parking lot is lo-
cated on the north side of
campus next to North Man-
hattan Avenue The theft oc-
curred between the hours
of 3 a in and 2:45 p.m. Feb.
28 - 29. The vehicle was
registered in a Texas coun-
ty but belongs to a K-State
student. Capt. Richard Her
rman of the K-State Police
Department said police cur-
rently do not have any sus-
pects and are investigating
the crime.
A 2003 blue Honda Civ-
ic was involved in a hit and
run in front of Danforth and
All Faiths Chapel. The Hon-
da was parked and struck
by an unknown vehicle be-
tween 12:45 p.m. and 4:30
p.m on Saturday. Herrman
said.
A Moore Hall resident
discovered his bike missing
after midnight March 3 The
$ 1 ,000 Specialized 24 brand
racing bicycle was taken
from the bike racks north of
Eisenhower Hall. The word
"Specialized" is in white on
the crossbar and the handle-
bars are white
A silver Pathfinder store
sticker is on the frame, ac-
cording to the police report.
The bike was locked to the
bike rack, but the cable was
also missing when the vic-
tim found the bike, Herrman
said.
Also this weekend,
K-State Police were the first
responders to a robbery at
12th and Ratone streets.
K-State Police found the vic-
tim and went into the area
to look for suspects. No oth-
er information was released,
Herrman said

As this is being written.
Democratic candidates are hash-

keep their
campaigns
alive by
winning the

cus of 2008
As we
near the end
of the state primaries leading
up to the Republican and Dem-
ocratic national conventions,
many voters are beginning to re
alize how each party has put
forth candidates who have no
business or experience running
this country
With fun-house mirrors,
candidate Sen Barack Obama.

people distorted images of his
experience and the future

people are struggling and looking
for hope and change, but Obama

son. D -Texas, to name one of
Obama s legislative accomplish
merits Watson (ailed to name
one and didn't see this as a prob-

lumping through hoops of
fire like a tiger. Republican Party
candidate John "make sure you
get my good side" McCain, is try-

Up above on the trapeze

nation, but all eves have been on
the Democratic Party nomina-
tion
Similar to the 1964 Goldwa-
ter'lohnson election, Clinton has
started to use fear tactics in com-
mercials and vid-
eos to undermine
Obama
Right before
election night.
Johnson aired an
attack ad against
Gold water de-
picting a little girl
picking petals from
a flower while a
narrator counted
down a launch se-
quence Once the
countdown hit zero,
a nuclear bomb i
went off In a recent
commercial, Clin-
ton used images of a
sleeping child to ask
who the public would pre-
fer to have answer a 3 a.m.
phone call in the event of a ter-
rorist attack
McCain should get down on
his knees and pray he has the
chance to go against Clinton in
the genera] election Facing off
against Obama would remind
people of the Nixon vs Kennedy
debate Hands- down Nixon won
the debate however, he looked
tired and old next to Kennedy
For months. Clinton has
caught a lot of flack from the ul-
tra liberal base of the Demo-
cratic Party because she has vot-
ed for all the bills requesting
more funding for the troops in
Iraq This angered many Demo-
cratic voters who are frustrated
with the current situation and do
want change
Providing side-show enter-
tainment, Ralph Nader has once
again made himself an indepen-
dent candidate for the 2008 elec-
tion and could once again take
away votes from a Democratic
candidate just like he did in the
20OO election.
Nader would only be an ef-
fective spoiler for the Republi-
can Parry if Clinton gets the nod
from her party
This circus election will be
broadcast into our homes and
displayed on our nightly news
Grab the popcorn and peanuts,
maybe a soda or two; watch a
political spectacle that many
people just wish was almost

Jylknds- Foster) published
a senes of caricatures in Sep-
tember 2005 that depicted the
Prophet Muhammad in a less
than -playful light The one
most people are familiar with
depicts the Prophet Muham-
mad wearing a lit bomb in his
turban In response, sever
si protests against Denmark
raged throughout (he Muslim
world in 2005
Yeah I'll admit I can see
such cartouns as offensive
And I have no religion
Cnfortunately, even now
it's not over A Feb 13 Agence
France- Presse article report-
ed that Denmark reprinted
the controversial cartoons fol-
lowing an incident which in-
volved run Tunisians and a
Moroccan Dane who plot
ted to assassinate one of the
newspaper's cartoonists In re-
sponse to the re-publication of
the cartoons, protesters from
the Middle East to Indonesia
took to the streets again Bet-
ter yet. the .Associated Press
reported that Omar al-Bashir.
tht president of Sudan, called
for a boycott of Denmark to a
crowd of thousands chanting.
"Down. down. Denmark."
Unfortunately for al
Bashir. he does not seem fa-
miliar with the oldest rule of
controversy It sells
In this case, protest-
ing and boycotting Denmark
won't help anything All it
does is increase the celebri-
ty status of the cartoonists and
makes the culprits behind the
protests look like a bunch of
idiots
One just has to look at
a few examples to prove my
point including the infamous
"The Satanic Verses" by Sal-
man Rushdie The plot in-
volves Indian expatriates in
modern-day England who
magically take on the person-
alities of an archangel and a
desil
1 read it and hated it It
had a stupid premise and an
even more ridiculous chain
of events However the con-
troversy lies in two segments
The first is a re-narration of an
incident where Muhammad
was tricked by Satan into pro-
claiming revelations that (•-
voted polytheistic deities - the
Prophet later retracted these
statements The second and
most offensive controversy
happens when the reader is in-
troduced to a brothel where all
the prostitutes happen to have
the names of all of Muham-
mad's wives.
Offensive and repulsive,
you bet.
It was these two pas-
sages thai brought pro-
tests throughout the
Muslim world simi-
lar to those we see to-
day However, nothing
really hit the fan until Aya
tollah Kuhollah Khomei-
ni came on the scene in
1989 He put a bounty on
Rushdie s head, offering
a reward to both Mus-
lims and non- Muslims
to assassinate Rushdie
Thus. Khomeini sealed
Rushdie's fate as one
of the greatest authors of
our time because of some lame
excuse for a novel
Now, J know what some
might be thinking How will
ignoring such obscenities be

I have an answer lust
look at the online lesus-Chnst-
action- figure commercial by
Kontraband In this video, in-
tended to be a comical farce,
the viewer sees a depiction

narrator saying, "Go ahead.

Blasphemous. I know.
However, why was this
never a controversy here in

ly among the religious right,
which has never been known

and of- is formed This is
ten ex- the Collegians
oect- official opinion
ed
As children get old-
er, constant attention
and parents' involve-
ment usually becomes
less intense, and even-
tually the child be-
comes an independent
and self sufficient
adult Our generation,
however, experienc-
es much more paren-
tal involvement and
attention much lat-
er into childhood and
even adulthood
It is definitely a
good trend that more
parents are taking an
active role in the lives
and well-being of their
kids Eventually, how-
ever, sons and daugh-
ters should be allowed
to handle their own
problems and make
their own decisions
independently
The involvement of
parents in their adult-
age children is appar-
ent when observing
K-State's recruitment
of high school and ju-
nior college students
Not only does the uni-
versity send recruit-
ing material to the
prospective student
but also to the par-
ents Most individuals
who are old enough
to drive, vote, smoke,
buy a gun and serve
our country have the
good judgement to
make decisions for
themselves, especial-
ly about where they
would like to attend
college
This is also evident
in the fact that many
companies now con-
tact the parents of re-
cent graduates who
are prospective em-
ployees. These com-
panies understand the
role parents play in
the lives of many peo-
ple in their early 20s,
and they recruit par-
ents just as much as
students.
We applaud the par-
ents who are dedi-
cated to seeing their
children mature and
lead a happy and
healthy life, but par-
ents should not expect
to make decisions for
their children forever.
Adults should be able
to direct their lives in
anyway they choose,
and if an adult's par-
ents do not allow this
to happen. that son
or daughter will have
a much more difficult
time adapting to ev-
eryday life as he or
she gets older

Campus group aims to stop rape nonviolently by promoting awareness
By Monica Castro
KANSAS STATE COLLEGIAN
Wildcats Against Rape
was started by students after
a female student was sexual-
ly assaulted at Rusty's Last
Chance in the bathroom
Abby Heraud. gradu
ate student in modern lan-
guages, said students had
heard enough acts of violence
against other students, so
they decided to do something
about it. Though the group
started in a class, it grew into
a student group for everyone
on campus to join.
WAR has about 200
members on its online mail-
ing list, and a fourth of those
members are constantly in-
volved with the organization
Meetings are at 6:30 p.m.
on the last Tuesday of every
month at different locations
Heraud said 412 people
are raped every year on av-
erage in a school the size of
K-State This year WAR. has
organized a benefit concert at
The Dusty Bookshelf on April
12. Heraud said the date,
4/12. is fitting because it sym-
bolizes the average number of
people who will be assaulted
or raped. This benefit, which
is an opportunity for the or-
ganization to educate others
about rape and prevention,
will include four bands
Heraud said she thinks
the only way to change and
prevent these actions are for
people to start treating on an-
other with more respect
"For cryin' out loud, be
nice to each other," she saui
Mary Todd, director of
sexual assault advocacy and
the Women's Center, said
WAR. helps encourage peo
pie to start standing up tor
others and prevent rapes or
assaults in a n on -violent
way
"As individuals," Todd
said, "we are able to decide
what kind of life we want to
live, and it is a right that ev-
eryone should live without
fear of something happening"
She also said individuals
should want to live in honor
and help people stay safe
WAR wants women to
stop giving up their freedoms
to be safe, Todd said [Vvcni
ing and slopping bad behavior
will help everyone to be safer
wherever they are. she said
Todd said WAR is work-
ing to create a culture at K-
Stale in which rapes or lis
saults do not occur and indi-
viduals hold a higher standard

KANSAS St ATE COLLEGIAN
in an effort lo promote
the German culture, K Stale's
German Club will be host to a
Fressfest tonight in the Inter-
national Student Center at 7.
The word "Fressfest" has
been used by the German
— Crub for a couple of years as a
joke, Chris Lemon, president
<aL German Club and senior
Sit. finance, said. The word
"fress" comes from the Ger
man word "fresscn." which
means to feed in r efe r enc e Ul
animals.
The event will be pot
luck-style, and everyone will
cook a German dish Lemon
said the event will serve as a
way for students, especially
those studying the language,
to learn about German cul-
ture.
"You can learn a language
in a classroom, but by having
L'lubs, you can connect with
I he culture and meet peo
pie who speak the language,"
Lemon said
Everyone is invited and
those who do not bruin a dish
are encouraged to make a do-
nation lo the Gentian Club
Those Interested m attending
or cookuin B German dish do
nol have to be members of the
German Club, Lemon said
Beside promoting Ger
man culture, the event is a
fundraiser to bring Bernd
\euniiiiiii from the NofWl
nun University of Science
md Technology to K-Slate
Neumann is a German pro-
[essOJ at the university and an
expert on Fran/ Kafka a la
mous 20tti century German
writer
K Stale ts just one of
many universities Neumann
will visit on his US tour.
I he most important
thing to remember is that this
is an attempt to intemation
alize the campus by bringing
scholars from abroad." Peter
Arnds, professor of German
and Italian, said.
Those planning to attend
the Fressfest are encouraged
to inform Lemon so he can
estimate how much food is
needed
Future fundraising events
will include a barbecue in
April, Lemon said
"People can come togeth-
er and experience German
culture and language; you can
meet people who are interest-
ed in the same things you arc."
said Ren Stange, vice presi-
dent of German Club and ju-
nior in German.
The German Club has
weekly ineelings al 7 pm.
Wednesdays at Bluestem Bis-
tro It is also a great way lo
get help with learning the Ian

NBA Playoffs to be memorable
JONATHAN
WRIGHT
The NBAs All Star Week
end happened a little over
two weeks ago The three-
day event,
which marks
the midway
point in the
NBA sea-
son, was full
of thunder-
ous dunks,
incredible
passes and
ridiculous
shots
N o w -
that the an-
nual break is over, many teams
in the NBA have turned their
focus toward making a run at
the playoffs and possibly win-
ning a championship. What is
unfolding before fans' eyes is
something thai promises to be
memorable
THE EASTERN
CONFERENCE
The Eastern Conference
is essentially a four-team race
and the Boston Celtics lead the
pack, looking like the unstop-
pable dynasty of the 1960s Be-
hind superstars Kevin Gamett.
Ray Allen and Paul Pierce, the
Celtic* own the NBAs best re-
cord at 46-12 Now, with the
addition of seasoned veteran
Sam Cassell, all the pieces look
to be in place for the Celtics to
win the NBA Championship
for the first time since 1986.
Right behind the Celtics
is the perennial powerhouse,
the Detroit Pistons Ever since
their defeat of the Lakers, 4-1,
in the 2004 NBA Finals, they
have been among the NBAs
elite Built around a strong
foundation of suffocating de-
fense and disciplined offense,
the Pistons annually make
deep playoff runs
The third best team in
the Eastern Conference is the
Orlando Magic Built around
third-year center Dwight How-
ard, the Magic supplements his
sensational athleticism with
veteran talent like perenni-
al All -Star Rashard l^wis and
1 ameer Nelson
The Cleveland Cavaliers
have the fourth -best record in
the Eastern Conference The
Cavaliers have surrounded Le-
Bron "King" lames with the
tools necessary lo make a se-
rious run at a championship
The addition of Ben Wallace
gives the Cavaliers a strong de-
fensive presence on the block,
and with Daniel Gibson and
Wally Szczerbiak, the Cava-
liers have several reliable op-
tions incase LeBron has an off
night
THE WESTERN
CONFERENCE
I don't know if there has
ever been a race as close as
what is taking place in the
Western Conference Three
games separate ihe (op seed.
the San Antonio Spurs and the
seventh seed, the Dallas Mav-
ericks- One bad week for any
of these teams, and their sea-
son could be over.
The San Antonio Spurs
are once again at the top of
the mix. Behind Tim Duncan,
the Spurs have a three-head
ed monster that, on any giv-
en night, can score between 60
and 90 poinis. Tony Parker is
among the quickest guards in
the NBA and Manu Ginobili is
quietly averaging more than

FROM THE ARCHIVES
The (Real) Mission of St. Patrick
Fake St. Pattys Day has
a tradition of bringing hun-
dreds, maybe even thousands,
of students to Aggievtlle for an
all-day green beerfest. But few
people know why St. Patrick*
Day is really celebrated.
Vie following is an excerpt
of an article tltat was writ-
ten bv Heidi Bright and taken
from the March 8, 1983, Colle-
gian. In Iter column, Briglit ex
plains who the real St. Patrick
was and why we get to cele-
brate him this Saturday in Vie
Mile
St Patrick was not bom
an Irishman.
Heading this in a 1980
HIS magazine and in some
encyclopedias surprised me.
Magnus Sueatus Patricius
was English. He did, however,
spend 36 years on the Isle of
Green He went twice - both
times against his will
Patrick was the son of a
deacon who was also a minor
member of the nobility. Patrick
spent his youth living in a villa
by the sea.
When he was 16. Irish pi-
rates attacked his home and
carried him off. along with
some of the servants
Off lu Ireland he went for
the first time The pirates sold
him into slavery to a Druid
tribal chieftain, and he herded
swine for six years
Eventually, out of sheer
hopelessness of hts situation,
he turned to God and under-
went a spiritual transforms
tion. Years later he wrote about
his experience in Confessio.
I was 16 and knew not
the true God," he wrote, "but
in a strange land the Lord
opened my unbelieving eyes,
and I was converted"
His utter devotion to God
caused those aruund him to
tag him "Holy- Boy" He lived
up to this name.
"Love and reverence for
God came to me more and
more, building up my faith so
much that daily I would pray
a hundred times or more," he
wrote.
His devotion to prayer
aided him many times through
his life. For starters, it aided
his escape from slavery. One
night, he wrote, he heard a
voice which told him that a
ship lay waiting to take him
back to England.
He sneaked away from his
master, and after a 200-mile
trek, came to a ship bound for
England.
The captain refused him
admittance, but as Patrick
walked away and started to
pray, a crew member yelled to
him to come aboard. Patrick
set sail for his homeland.
Eventually Patrick wan-
dered home He didn't stay for
long, though.
One night in a dream a
man handed him a letter with
the opening words: "The Voice
of the Irish" Patrick wrote that
as he read the letter, he seemed
to hear the beseeching voices
of those who lived where he
had one been a slave. "Holy-
Boy, we beg you, come walk
among us again"
Patrick did not want to go
back; he was beset by fears but
he fell compelled to return as
a missionary to those who had
enslaved him
"I did not go back to Ire
land of my own accord," he
wrote. " It was the furthest thing
from be, but God made me fit,
causing me to care about and
labour for the salvation of oth-
ers."
Patrick sold his inheri-
tance to pay his way to Ire
land
A breakthrough in Pat-
rick's ministry occurred on
March 26 in A.D. 433 - a
day on which both the Druids
would call the sun back into
the northern hemisphere and
Easter happened to fall.
During this yearly pagan
ritual, the Druids would put
out all the fires throughout
Ireland, and the chief wizard
would build a bonfire on top
of a mountain.
Patrick, in turn, built a
bonfire on a neighboring hill
to celebrate the resurrection
of lesus Christ, the Light of the
World.
Troops were send by the
Druids to bring Patrick be-
fore them, and the demanded
an explanation for his actions.
Patrick explained to them the
mystery of the Incarnate God;
the resurrection of fesus Christ,
and the Trinity
Before the eighth century,
legends were swirling around
this historic event, and oth
er legends cropped up along-
side it One holds that Patrick
drove all the snakes out of Ire-
land
Another legend holds that
Patrick used the three -leaf clo-
ver to explain the concept of
the Trinity - three persons in
one God This legend was tak-
en one step further to celebrate
the Irish patron saint. Now, on
March 17, the Irish wear the
national flower of Ireland, the
shamrock, in their lapels.
Whether these legends
hold truth or not, the results
of Patrick's ministry are clear
- the Christian message ob-
tained credence among the
Irish. After 30 years of labor-
ing, about 100.000 people be-
came Christians.
Patrick changed the
course of the nation by pro-
viding education for the mul-
titudes, raising the status of
women from possessions to
people and helping the end
slavery

Indian film
festival
By Holly Campbell
KANSAS STATf. OOtUflM
The Indian Student Asso-
ciation has planned a free, five-
film Indian movie festival that
will run today through March 12
j the K-Stale Student Union
The Hindi language films
Hill have English subtitles, ex
-^Hpt for "Sivaji," and admission
!f free, said ISA member Nidhi
Tare, graduate student in elec-
trical engineering.
The films will be "Bom-
marillu," 6 tonight in Forum
Hall; ' k;u in De Basanti," 3 p.m.
Sunday in the Union Ballroom;
"Sivaji," 6 p.m. March 10 in Fo-
rum Hall; "Chak Dc India," 6
pm March 11 in Forum Hall;
and "Welcome." 6 p.m March
12 in Forum Hall, Tare said
"In an attempt to capture
the various facets of India, we
chose movies that highlight the
culture, traditions and problems
faced within the Indian soci-
ety," said ISA president Sushan
th Gudlur, graduate student in
biochemistry.
"Bommarillu" deals with
young people's roles in Indian
families, while "Rang De Bas-
anti" and "Sivaji" deal with his-
tory and social issues, Tare said.
"Chak De India" is about
field hockey, India's national
game, Tare said. The final film,
"Welcome," is a comedy, she
said
All the movies were made
in 2006 or 2007, Gudlur said.
There are many different:
es between Indian and Ameri-
can films, said ISA faculty ad-
visor Bala Natarajan, assistant
professor of electrical and com-
puter engineering
Among the differences
„■ found in Indian films are an
_» "emphasis on music and dance,
fid a tendency for (he films to
melodramatic and longer in
|ngth than many American
s, Natarajan said.
The festival is funded by the
(iversity Programming Council
fid co-sponsored by the Union
■Vogram Council, she said.
Horticulture students offer healing through plant life
By Sarah Burford
KANSAS STATE COLLEGIAN
With only about 15 K-
State undergraduate students
in the program, horticultural
therapy might not seem like
it would be a huge draw for
K- State But it is one of the
few universities that offers
this program and was one of
the first to adopt the major
Undergraduate students
from around the United
States and graduate students
from all over the world come
to K . stale to study horticul-
tural therapy, said Richard
Maltson, professor of hor-
ticulture and coordinator
of the horticultural therapy
program.
"We have quite a diverse
background." he said.
Mattson said K-Slate
was the first school to offer
the bachelor of science cur-
riculum, master's degrees
and doctoral degrees in hor-
ticultural therapy
In Kansas, this type of
therapy is directed more to-
wards humans, he said. In
the 1960s, a psychiatric hos-
pital in Topeka formed K
Stale's therapy program with
the idea (hat plants can help
reduce stress, and help peo-
ple with mental or develop-
mental disabilities use plants
to heal
"It's for people with
all kinds of disadvantages,"
Maltson said "Horticulture
can be the answer lo some of
(heir problems "
QiuXia Chen, junior
in horticulture, transferred
from Unity College in Maine
to study at K-State She said
she would like to work with
kids and have her own ther
apy clinic someday She is
currently planning thera
py programs for residents at
Meadowlark Hills, a retire-
ment home in Manhattan, as
part of a class.
"It's an on-site, hands-
on experience." Chen said "I
get an opportunity to work
with people I'm not used lo
working with It gives me a
chance to see what it's like"
She said the basic ac-

tions involved in gardening
-digging holes and planting
seeds- help people release
frustrations or emotions
caused by physical, emotion-
al, or mental disabilities
"It's a way lo express
yourself and connect with
the things you're working
with," Chen said.
She said she is calmer,
happier and more relaxed
when she is working with
plants She wants to teach
her clients how to garden so
they might feel that way too,
she said.
In addition lo schools
and retirement homes, pris-
ons sometimes offer gar-
dening opportunities. Matt-
son said all prisons in Kan-
sas have horticultural pro-
grams Chen said these pro-
grams offer prisoners a way
to be productive and release
energy at the same time. It
gives them something posi-
tive to work toward and get
them involved in society, she
said.
"[They've] changed, and
now they can do something
for other people," Chen said.
Bui people don't have
to be diagnosed with a dis-
ability or be confined to do
horticultural therapy; Chen
said anyone can do it. Stu-
dents who graduate with this
degree often start their own
businesses where they can
hold one-on-one or group
sessions.
Horticultural therapy is
not federally funded, howev-
er, so horticultural therapists
often work under the titles of
other types of therapy, Chen
said.
She said she would like
to set up a horticultural ther-
apy program that wouldn't
just be about individual cli-
ents, but about the commu-
nity as well.
"I want to go into the
community and not just
change the client but change
the way people view them,"
Chen said, referring to clients
with disabilities. "[1 want it
to be about] how people can
work in society and how so-
ciety can work with them "
Chen said she has seen
her therapy programs affect
the residents at Meadow -
lark Hills in a positive way.
She said they talk about the
plants she brings for them to
see and touch
This helps them retail
information and use dif-
ferent parts of their brains,
which helps with memory
loss.
One program Chen de-
signed involved citrus fruits
The residents got to feel the
different fruits, peel them.
describe the different types
of flesh, and then plant the
seeds.
These programs give' ;t he
residents opportunities., to
learn and share their stories
with other people, she said
"I've always loved gar-
dening and working with
plants, and I love working
with people too," Chen said.
"I hope to use my passion
for gardening and share that
with them. Hopefully it will
make their lives better too "

ROUNDABOUT | 2 lanes to be
wide enough for larger trucks
Continued from Piet l
close and traffic often
backs up past those inter-
sections, said assistant city
manager lasun Hilgers.
"The coordination of
those lights is really the big-
gest issue there," he said
He said the round-
about should alleviate this
problem by keeping traf-
fic moving and eliminat-
ing the stop lights on Third
Street Hilgers also said
the roundabout will prob-
ably be two lanes and will
be wide enough to handle
-large vehicles like semi-
Licks
"They've modeled it
-with 18 wheelers in mind,
so they are more than ade-
- quate to handle those vchi-
'cles,'* he said
City Commission
«r Bruce Snead said the
roundabout will be impor
rant to traffic flow in the
area, especially with the re-
-development of downtown.
The city plans to build a
Hy-Vee grocery store close
to the intersection and oth-
er retail stores will be built
farther south on Fourth
Street
"I think it's unique, at
a key location, and it will
be important to the down-
town redevelopment,"
Snead said.
Eugene Russell, K
State emeritus professor of
civil engineering who has
studied roundabouts for
several years, said many
people confuse round
abouts with other traffic-
control devices He said
Manhattan has only one
roundabout on Kimball
Avenue near Colbert Hills
Golf Course. The small-
er traffic circles in sever-
al places in Manhattan
are not roundabouts; they
serve to slow traffic
"They're meant to be
roadblocks, and in that
sense, they're effective," he
said

Russell also said prob-
lems arise because drivers
often forget common driv-
ing guidelines when enter-
ing roundabouts. He said
it is no different than any
other intersection - driv
t-rs should yield to on-
coming traffic and stay in
their specified lane. "Driv
8fl have to use some sense
and learn the rules of the
ruad," Russell said "A lot
of the problem is that peo-
ple get on the roundabouts
and forget the rules of the
road"

The plaintiffs' second
argument was that citizens
were not given proper time
to protest the amendment
between the Jan. 7 plan-
ning board meeting and
| an 8 City Commission
meeting, Nuss said.
"We're asserting that
citizens have a right to a
14-day protest period in
which to appeal a decision,
and that wasn't allowed
for with the way that the
meetings were scheduled,"
Nuss said
Schneider said the ap-
proval of the amendment
was unreasonable on sev-
eral grounds, but said he
could not go into detail on
the subject at this time.
The plaintiffs decided
to file the suit after speak-
ing with other citizens who
had voiced concern about
the amendment at City
Council meetings, Nuss
said
Though the amend-
ment affects the planned
Hy-Vee, MCSDR is not
generally opposed to Hy-
Vee as a grocery store
chain, Nuss said.
"We would have the
same concerns regard
less of what kind of store
it was," Nuss said. "It just
happens to be that the Hy-
Vee is the proposed tenant
of the space. Our group is
opposed to the size of the
store and how its config-
uration negatively affects
a historic structure - the
Strasser House - and how
it negatively impacts the
housing that's proposed to
be built right behind it"
MCSDR is concerned
not only with the lawsuit
against the city, but the
group is also considering
circulating petitions to cre-
ate ordinances that would
put new requirements on
parts of the north-end de-
velopment that have not
yet been completed, Nuss
said.
MCSDR is not hold-
ing regular public meet-
ings, but group informa-
tion can be found at its
Web site, manhattancsdr
blogspot.com.

However, Jones also said it's
important for families, particular-
ly parents, to recognize that their
child needs to grow on their own
and learn from these mistakes.
She said she has even heard of
some parents negotiating job con
tracts with their child's potential
employer following graduation
"This is only crippling the
{child] from achieving success on
their own," )ones said.
Rachel Robinson- Keilig, pay
etiology intern with counseling
services, agreed with tones and
said it is important for a child to
gain independence and make
their own decisions
"If a parent impedes on this
process, then it becomes problemat-
ic for everyone involved," she said,
Robinson -Keilig also said
people need to keep in mind cul-
tural differences when dealing
with this issue
"As typically while, middle
class students, our idea of inde-
pendence is normal, but in other
cultures, it dues not always follow
this standard" she said "In some
cultures, like in a Hispanic family,
it's much more acceptable for the
parents to be more involved with
steps to being on your own"
Amen, however, said he
knows that despite his parents'
occasional "helicoptering" mo-
ments, he knows they do want
him to make bis own decisions
and get through college without
relying on them for total support.
"They've tried to do a pretty
good job at cutting the cord" he
said. "But it is nice to know 1 can
call them for help or just to talk if
I need to."
Watch
parties to be

By Brandon Steintrt
KANSAS STAtE I OLLEGlAN
The Student Governing As-
sociation elections started Tues
day morning and will continue
until 6 p in tonight
The candidates for student
body president will be having
watch parties starting around
5 p m until the polls close and
the results are announced. Lydia
Peele will be at Tubby's Sports
Bar and Tyrone "Red Beard"
Schurr will be at Gumbys Piz-
za and Pub, both of which are in
Aggie vi lie.
Both watch parties will be
broadcast on Cox cable channel
8, Wildcat cable channel 21 and
online at K STATE TV
Schurr, senior in electrical
engineering, received 19.8 per-
cent of the vote in the primaries,
while Peele, senior in mathe-
matics education, received 54.3
percent,
Both candidates said they
are hopeful for a good election
turnout this evening, though
Peele said she's worried too few
people will vote in the general
elections.
Voter turnout was low-
er during the primary elections
than in previous years.

STEWART | Cats go to Iowa State for final game
Continued from Pige 6
seven minutes of play Senior
guard Richard Koby scored
14 of his 15 points in the sec-
ond half
"They got some easy bas-
kets off of our turnovers and
that allowed them to get back
in the game," senior guard
Wake Young said "We broke
down on defense, and they
got easy layups and wide-
open shots."
K State was eventual-
ly able to build the lead back
up. mostly on the play of
Walker, who had 15 of his
25 points in the final period
Walker ended a recent scor-
ing spell; he only scored nine
points Saturday against Kan
sas and one point Feb. 25
against Texas
"Bill was just being Bill,"
Beasley said- "He's had a bad
game or two. but you can't
get mad at him for having
a bad game. Everybody has
bad games."
Aside from Beasley and
Walker. Stewart had nine,
and Young had six. Senior
guard James Franklin, who
liaij an assist in his four min-
utes of play, got his first start
as a Wildcat
"We just needed a win,"
Martin said. "1 don't real-
ly care what the score was.
We needed a game where we
could line up and figure out
how to win it "
For Colorado, senior
guard Marcus Hall led all
scorers with 22 points. Fresh-
man guard Cory Higgins had
12 points and junior forward
Jenny I Jackson -Wilson had
10.
The Wildcats have an-
other road game coming up
in their final game of the reg-
ular season Saturday at Iowa
State The Wildcats are 2-4 on
the road this season. Young
said the team is still looking
for stability away from Bram-
THE
lage
"We've got to keep play-
ing," he said "We can't think
we're already in just because
they said it on TV, We need
to win the next games com
ing up They're very impor-
tant. Last year, we sat around
and waited for our names to
come up and they never did,
so we had to settle for the
NIT The NIT was alright,
but nothing like playing in
the NCAA Tournament."

Variety of grocery stores offer fair prices, special foods
Photos by Josyln Brown | COLLElilAN
Call Hall Dairy Bar on the K-State campu? offers a variety of milk,
cheese. Ice cream and other dairy products.
Yi's Oriental Market, 1030 Colorado St., sells traditional Asian
foods from Korea, China, Japan, Taiwan, Thailand and Vietnam.
The People's Grocery Cooperative Exchange, 523 5 1 7th St., is
the only organic heath food store in Manhattan.
The Eastside and Westside Markets, on opposite ends of
Manhattan, offer fresh, seasonal produce and flowers
By Sarah Burford
KANSAS STATE COLLEGIAN
A little exploring can take people a
long way. Students might have thought
Wal-Mart and Dillons were the only
places to buy affordable groceries. Think
again.
Scattered around Manhattan are sev-
eral stores that offer their own food vari-
eties. Yi's Oriental Market, the Call Hall
Dairy Bar and the Hast side Market are
just a few local shops that can give your
dining table the fresh flair you're craving.
EASTSIDE AND WESTSIDE
MARKETS:
Open Monday - Saturday, 9 a.m. to 6 p.m.;
Sunday, Noon to 6 p.m
785-776-8111,
www. eastandweitiidemarkets, com
Eastside Location: Next to the Super 8 Motel
on U.S. Highway 24 Inear Dillons)
Wtstsld* Location: Near the Clarion Hotel
across from Briggs Auto
The Eastside Market began as a fruit
and vegetable stand in the 1950s Now it
has its own building where customers can
buy produce, decorations for their homes
or gardens, seeds, (lowers, plants and the
best peaches in the Manhattan area, ac-
cording to Scott Goldsby. an employee at
the market and senior in finance.
"Everybody goes crazy over [the
peaches)," Goldsby said, Owner Terry 01-
sen travels to Kansas City in the summer
to buy the Idaho peaches for her store,
Goldsby said. "She does really well on
that."
Goldsby said the store buys produce
that is in season, so it tastes better and the
prices can compete with the main grocery
stores. For instance, oranges are four for
$1 and tomatoes cost $1 79 per pound,
Goldsby said local farmers and gardeners
will sell I heir produce to the store in the
summer.
Almost all of their products are made
or grown in Kansas, Goldsby said. The
vegetables and fruits are displayed in bar-
rels and marked by creatively colored
signs. The apples spill out of their barrels,
making a rainbow on the table Scoops
are placed in the various nut barrels, and
several of Kansas sauces, jams and salsas
line the back wall.
In the spring and summer, Goldsby
said about 150 to 250 customers come
into the store each day.
"The whole outside is covered in plants
during the summer," Goldsby said. "That's
our biggest seller."
YI'S ORIENTAL MARKET:
Op«n Monday - Saturday, 10 a.m. to 8 p.m.
785-539-5849
Location: 1 030 Colorado St.
On the other side of the spectrum is
Yi's Oriental Market, which offers food
from Korea, China, Japan, Taiwan. Thai-
land, Vietnam and the Philippines
Eunju Yi, who co-owns the store with
her husband, said about 90 percent of
their customers are Asian She said both
K State students and Manhattan resi-
dents shop there, as well as people from
Wamego and J unction City Sticky rice,

cery store, they offer a wide variety of

"We can't buy a ton of quantities, but
we make up for that in variety of customer
service," Smith said. "We can offer advice
and personal experience that larger stores
just don't"
Natural beauty products, fair trade
coffee, tea, and chocolate, and organic
cleaning and paper products constitute
some of the store's special stock Fresh
produce and milk contain less pesticides
and antibiotics than other stores' products
contain.

more that they're not eating healthy. What
you're putting into your body affects how
long you'll live"

Keeping chicken moist makes dish appealing
While walking through the
K-State Student Union on Mon-

few minutes to
stop and talk
We started talk
ing when his
friend recog
nized me from
my photo in
the paper She
then proceeded
to tell me how
much she en-
joyed reading
my recipes
Since she enjoyed reading
my work, I figured I would let
her pick the type of food, and
she chose a chicken dish that
wouldn't dry out once prepared.
Moist chicken can be difficult to
prepare, but the key is to not cut
into the meat as soon as it has
the correct temperature. Instead.
lei the meat stand for a few min-
utes before cutting or eating
The juices will slay inside longer,
keeping the meat tender
After spending two years in
the dorms, I was a tired of hav-
ing chicken for what seemed like
every meal The mass-produced
food left a bland taste in my
mouth.
Because the temperatures
outside have not warmed up
enough for grilling, I am serving
up slow cooked chicken breasts
on a bed of white rice, served
with onions, apples and rose-
mary.

ALLEN HAS VOWED
TO QUIT PARTYING
The 22-yeaf-old singer -
who tragically lost her baby
in January and split from the
father, Chemical Brothers star
Ed Simons, shortly after -
revealed her recent heartache
has changed her opinion on
partying.
She said: "When I was preg-

didn't start again. Then when
the baby was gone, I thought,
'That doesn't mean I'm going to
go back to how I was,"
The 'Smile' star — who
admitted to taking ecstasy
when she was just 14 - years -
old - has decided the best way
to avoid temptation is to spend
her evenings at home.
She added to Britain's *

Cats clinch share of Big 1 2 title
By Jotl Wilson
KANSAS STATE COLLEf.lAN
LAWRENCE - With
4:09 left in the game and the
K-State lead cut to 52 50 by
KU sophomore guard LaChel-
da Jacobs, Ihe Wildcats'
chance at a win and a regular-
season Big 12 Conference title
seemed to be fading.
Coming directly out of
a timeout by K-State coach
Deb Patterson, the Wildcats
got a three -pointer from se-
nior guard Kimberly Dietz
with 3:57 left and held the lay-
hawks scoreless for the re-
mainder of the game to win
61-50 and clinch at least a
share of the Big 12 Conference
regular -season crown. K Stale
last won the Big 12 title during
the 2003-04 season.
If Baylor, which needs a
win to tie the Wildcats for the
crown, loses its final home
game tonight against Okla
homa State. K-State will take
sole possession of the regular
season title. Patterson said she
was proud of her team's run
through Big 12 play
'■ | K -State's} a team I think
through Big 12 regular season
was very tough minded, resil-
ient and. regardless of the type
of game they might have had
to play, they found ways to ad-
just, to adapt, to make enough
big plays and to find them
selves in position to be Big 12
champs is extraordinary." Pat-
terson said
Depending on the Baylor
result, K Stale will be either
the No 1 seed, with a Bears
loss, or the No. 2 seed, with a
Baylor win, when the Wildcats
play their first game in the Big
12 tournament during second-
round action Wednesday at
Municipal Auditorium in Kan-
sas City.
K-State (21-8, 13-3 Big
12) led by as many as 13 points
with 13:20 left in the game, but
by the 6: 18 mark of the second
half the Jay hawks (15-14, 4 12
Big 12) had pulled within sev-
en points with a three-point
basket from sophomore guard
Kelly Kohn.
After a basket and a free
throw from facobs, KU closed
within four points, and after
the J ay hawks pulled within
two points at 52-50, Patterson
called a timeout

By veronika No vase I ova
KANSAS MATE UHLEdlAN
Three young punk and rock-'n'-
roll bands proved that Manhattan
is not the place where only country
music is popular Wednesday night
in the K-State Student Union
The bands performed to a
crowd of satisfied students at the
event, "Face AIDS," a benefit con-
cert to raise awareness of the glob-
al AIDS epidemic, sponsored by
K-State's Silver Key Sophomore
Honors society and Union Program
ming Council.
"Thai's my kind of music I like
to go to concerts when I have lime
and when 1 can afford it," said Cody
Davey. student at Manhattan Chris-
tian College "I'm glad that this con-
cert is for such a good cause as a
promotion of Al DS awareness."
Melinda Wodke, junior in ac-
counting and finance, was invited to
the concert by her friends. She liked
the music and the bands, she said
"I go to UPC events regularly,"
she said. "The concert is cool, and
its idea is also great"
R L Brooks from the band
Flee The Seen said he gets tested for
AIDS twice a year.
"Everything is fine with me, but
I know it could happen to anybody,"
Brooks said "While being in a rock
band, we could benefit society like
this: People go to the concert, listen
to music, have a good lime, but they
also receive a meaningful message. I
think it works out really well"
The officers of Silver Key sold
tickets and AIDS awareness pins for
the student -orientated Face Aids or-
ganization that helps raise money
for AIDS research
Donnie Hampton, sopho-
more in business management and
a member of the Silver Key Sopho
more Honors society, said AIDS has
become an issue around the world.
"It is definitely a great show,"
he said "We wanted to put a quality
enncert together with a good cause"

SGA ELECTION
Pirates lose election;
receive 34 percent of
total presidential vote
By Salens Strife
KANSAS STATE COlLttilAN
The pirale crew walked the
plank last night after hearing
die final results of the 2008 Stu-
dent Governing Association's
presidential election. After hear-
ing that they lost, Tyrone "Red
Bjeflrd" Schurr and Scott "First
Mote" Carlson high fived each
niEer and thanked their crew for
supporting them.
"~"We did well, and we gave
Lydja |PeeleJ a run for her money
- for a lot of money," Schurr said
at their watch party in Gumby's
Hzza and Pub "We talked about
win or lose, we stil! want to make
T-shirts If we would have had T
shirts saying Vote pirate - think
cannon.' we would of blown her
out of the water."
One of the pirates' platform
issues involved shooting off a
barrel cannon after the football
team scored a touchdown Carl
son, junior in electrical engineer
ing, said he would be willing to
work with Peele and Robert Swift
lu re -introduce the cannon.
Out of the 3,850 students who
voted, the pirates received 1,321
votes, earning 34.3 percent of the
vote Between the primaries and
the general elections, Schurr said
they tripled their votes.
"1 think there have been sev-
eral things come out of this elec-
tion," Schurr. senior in electrical
engineering, said. "1 still think
the system works. When guys
spend around $60 and make it
this far and do this well, I think
it will show to potentials in the
future that if they really want to
make waves in the political wa-
ters, it is well within grasp "
The general election, which
was called friendly on both sides.
raised several platform issues like
Lafene Health Center and the
parking garage.
Schurr said though they were
defeated in the election, a future
candidate can still carry on the
pirate platform
As for the pirate costumes
and eye patch. Schurr said he will
perhaps auction it off for charity
or have it bronzed.
"Now that the elections are
over, I will probably shave and
stop wearing my pirate hat to
campus," he said
"First mate" Carlson said he
will spend his newly found free
lime looking for booty.
One of the pirate's crewmen.
Andrew Henness, worked wher
ever the pirates needed him
"They were a different cam-
paign, and they weren't interest-
ed in the typically political side,"
Henness, freshman in theater,
said. "They were there for the
lesser-known groups on campus
I'm actually glad they made it this
far, putting up the showing that
even if you are not a traditional
candidate you can still put your
name out there"

Still in the muck
N»te Schmidt | UlLLfetilAN
Oil company should be held liable for spill
Take a cruise in Prince William Sound,
Alaska, and you will see the effects. Dig two
inches into the sand anywhere on the beach
within 8.000 miles of coast-
line, and you will still to find
pools of oil. In my home-
town, we know it simply as
The Oil Spill - an event that
occurred nearly two decades
ago but its effects remain un-
resolved today
Last Wednesday, a Su-
preme Court hearing be-
gan that, if successful, would
overturn a $2.5 billion pu
nitive damages award - an
award considered by many
to be the largest verdict ever
against a single U.S. corpo-
ration This will be the last
hearing in Exxon Mobil Corps M-year effort to
appeal lite 1994 verdict by an Anchorage jury
that awarded spill victims $5 billion in punitive
damages. This amount eventually was cut in half
by the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals in 2006
JESSICA
HENSLEV
Exxon appealed this decision to the Supreme
Court, which agreed last year to hear the case.
According to records kept by the Exx-
on Mobil Corp., at 12:04 am. on Mareh 24,
1989, the 986-foot oil tanker Exxon Valdez ran
aground on Bligh Reef in Prince William Sound.
Within six hours, the Exxon Valdez spilled about
10.9 million gallons of Prudhoe Bay crude oil
into the sound. The oil would eventually affect
more than 1,100 miles of coastline, making it the
largest and most economically damaging oil spill
to date in U.S. history.
Of the nearly 1 1 million gallons of crude oil
spilled, an estimated 85 tons of oil have yet lo be
removed, according to a federal study released
last year
Exxon contends it should not be held liable
for damages caused by the spill, arguing they are
not responsible for the actions of the Exxon Val-
dez crew
Many in Alaska hold their breath, wait-
ing fur a verdict that has been prolonged for
19 years and isn't expected until |une. They
can only hope Exxon will be held responsible
for the environmental and economic devasta-
tion caused by the oil spill. The damage done to
the fishing industry alone was enough to per-
manently cripple the local economies of many
coastal towns
"A whole lifestyle has gone," said one resi-
dent of Cordova, Alaska, in a USA Today article.
"Life was great. I mean, you worked hard, but
you were rewarded for it"
Today, residents of towns up arid down the
southern coast of Alaska still struggle to recover
the lives they lived before that day in March al-
most 20 years ago.
Hopefully, the Supreme Court will hold the
Exxon Mobil Corp responsible for the damage it
has done to so many Maybe then, the victims in
this story will be able to recover a little of what
they have lost.
There is no undoing the damage and noth-
ing will ever make up for the lives and liveli-
hoods destroyed, but there is something to be
said for a little closure

Extensive reliance on news media harmful
There was a radio pro-
gram in 1938 that described
the countrywide frenzy ol
the gruesome aliens that had
come to take over our land
Americans rallied with their
shotguns and headed to their
barns to protect the home-
land, but the problem was
that there were no aliens The
broadcast was simply a na-
tionwide storytelling time
The aliens were from a novel
byH.G Wells called "War of
the Worlds"

A UCLA study, consid-
ered "to be the first successful
attempt at objectively quanti-
fying bias in a range of media
outlets" found that "almost
all major media outlets lean
lo the left "
"I suspected that many
media outlets would tilt to
fc
the left because surveys have
shown that reporters lend

Peele, Swift
need to keep
promises |
We would like to
congratulate Lydia
Peele and Robert Swift
for their victory in be^
coming
the next
student
body
pres-
ident
and vice
presi-
dent. These two should
enjoy their victory, but
the time for celebra-
tion will be short. Note
that the elections and
campaigns are over, it
is time for them to take
their message and put
it to work.
Obviously, their mes-
sage of "More for You"
was well received by
K-State students. But it
is time for them to get
specific with the mes-
sage. It is time to ex-
plain what "more"
means. Students want
Lafene Health Cen-
ter to be at its highest
quality, they want to be
able to find a parking
space on campus, and
they want to feel safe
when walking on cam
pus.
It is easy to recog-
nize student concerns,
but it will be more dif-
ficult to find and im-
plement the best solu-
tion to do so. Peele has
achieved results as the
student body vice pres-
ident, and she should
be commended for
her hard work But by
achieving so much, she
has shown us what she.
and possibly Swift, arc
capable of. Students
will expect nothing
less.
We are confident
Peele and Swift will
represent the voice
and needs of the stu
dents they represent
We hope these two can
fulfill the promises thai
they made, but we can-
not make a true judg
ment until we see the
results.
We are optimistic
about next year, and
we look forward to sec
ing K-State improve.
The voters have given
the president- and vice
president-elects the
chance - now it is time
for candidates to give
back.

Exhibit features K-State's history in research
Facebook translates to more youth
M«1 Wnttr | COUKUIAN
Tony Crawford, university archivist and curator of manuscripts, flips through a 130-year-old agricultural geology book from an exhibit
showcasing 100 years of K-State faculty publications on the fifth floor of Hale Library Tuesday afternoon,
By Yvonne Ramirez
KANSA1 MAI HOLLECi IAN
Historically, K State's faculty has
been recognized for many outstanding
achievements that can be traced back
to the university's first 100 years
To recognize some of these achieve-
ments, Hale Library has organized an
exhibit on more than 400 works pub-
lished by K Slate faculty during its first
100 years. Tony Crawford, K- St ate ar-
chivist, said the exhibit has been open
Since Feb. 14 and will remain open un-
til May 30 on the fifth floor of Hale
The exhibit honors the day K-State
was founded.
"We chose these dates in honor of
Pounder's Day, which is Feb. 16," said
Lori Goctsch, K State's dean of librar-
ies.
The cases display books chosen
from 55 faculty members. Most of these
books were published nationwide and
were used as lextbooks throughout the
nation.
"These faculty members wrote
books that were major publications in
their various fields that were authorita-
tive books in their field and throughout
the country," he said "Many of them
are still historically very important"
The exhibit has a variety of books
that feature the different colleges
"It really shows the depth of re-
search that has been done by K- St ale
faculty from a range of science to poet-
ry," Goelsch said
The difficulty of choosing the books
for the exhibit was searching for them,
Crawford said. Some of the books
had to be searched for in Hale's stor-
age buildings Many of the books, like
cooking for human ecology, were used
as textbooks throughout the country.
One of the cooking lexis on display is
still used today, Crawford said.
There are five cases in the exhibit
filled with works, artifacts and photo-
graphs to add visual and historical ap-
peal Artifacts are from the era of when
the books were published. Photographs
include views of the campus in 1962
and a picture of Bluemont Central Col-
lege in 1859, which was in the location
that is now Founders Hill apartments
The exhibit is open Mondays through
Fridays from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m.
"It is important to know the his
lory of K-State. because it notifies stu-
dents that the faculty here has al-
ways been recognized and gives to the
credibility of their education here at
K-State " Crawford said

Teamwork
vital to
NCAA run
March is the best lime to
be a spurts fail in the United
States
The
NBA is cum-
ing down
the home
stretch with
teams vy-
ing (or play-
off posi lion
The MLB is
in the mid-
dle of spring
training with
every team
dreaming of
that possible world champi-
onship in the fall Hundreds
of college football players are
showing their prospects at the
NFL Combine and praying
their names get called April 29
for the draft
College basketball, howev-
er, is what makes March spe-
cial. The NCAA tournament
brings the top 65 teams togeth-
er with only one surviving to
become the national champion
Along the way, bubbles
are burst, dreams are broken
and an underdog becomes a
Cinderella As of right now, it
looks like K State will go into
the tournament as a low seed
and will need lo be fitted for its
glass slipper.
Before the slipper can fit,
the team must change its of-
fensive strategy Up to this
point, K-Slale has asked fresh-
man forward Michael Beas-
ley to carry the offensive load
by himself Depending on the
night, freshman forward Bill
Walker could have a big game,
but lately, he has been incon-
sistent TTris offensive philos-
ophy worked at the beginning
of the season, but months have
passed, and opponents have
figured out what K State is try-
ing to do.
Come tournament time,
the one-man show that has
been K- State's offense will
need to be adapted into a more
team oriented offense. The
team's mindset has been to
force- feed Beasley the ball and
get out of his way. Now, he is
drawing double- and even tri-
ple-teams and is still forced to
make a highly contested shot.
Once Beasley catches the
basketball, the other Wild-
cats seem almost mesmcr
ized as they watch him go to
work Then if Beasley gets into
foul trouble, like in last week's
KU game, the rest of the team
seems lost and does not know
what to do without him. ft is
during this lime that K- State's
offense becomes stale
The rest of the team needs
lo become more involved in
the offense They do nol need
to become prolific scorers -
lust mure consistent. Beasley
and Walker hold the key lo al-
lowing their teammates to be-
come a bigger part of the of-
hmc By pasting out of the
double and triple teams and
finding their open teammates,
it will allow more players lo be-
come involved, and the offense
will flow more smoothly
This (earn has the capa-
bilities to go far in the NCAA
tournament, and because of
the dynamic duo of Beasley
and Walker, K Stale is defi-
nitely a team to be feared The
Wildcats need to play more as
a team instead of as a group
ol individuals if they want to
make a serious postseason run

"We weren't proba-

inders on the offensive end

ning felt like she was about
80 percent of the offense."
Patterson said "When
we needed a big play, she
was the big pi uy maker and
(hen, down the stretch. Di-
etz steeped up and made a
big three"
When Dietz launched
a 9-0 run with a three-point
basket, allowing K State to
ease its way to the win, Di-
etz said she was initial-
ly looking for sophomore
guard Kan Kincaid lo take
a shot, but Kincaid found
the senior for the shot
"Me and my team-
mates, we just read each
other so well." Dietz said
"1 just looked for Kan. and
I thought she was going to
take a three, and then she
just dribbled up and looked
for me in the comer It was
a great pass and I ended up
hitting it"
Lehning led the Wild-
cats in scoring with 29
points, a new career- high,
and recorded a double-
double by adding 17 re-
bounds It was the second
time in the past three games
Lehning. who scores 10.5
points per game, scored
more than 20 points
"The opportunities
have arose for me to score
more, we haven't changed
anything," Lehning said
"My mentality is jusl lo

whatever we need that

me lo do more offensively,

par 224,
which was
his third
lop- 10 fin-
ish of the
season. In-
cluding the fall schedule, it was

day, and nine-over par 297 was
the second-lowest team score
in the second round, but a 19-
over par after the final 18 holes
hurt them down the stretch.
"There were a lot of missed
opportunities today and some
poor finishes at the end," said
coach Tim Norris. "I know the
guys were trying to make some-
thing happen, but it just doesn't
work that way. especially on a
really good golf course You just
have to keep plugging away."

ished with a score of 14 -over
par 230. which left him tied

of his team's effort and said
il was a good way to start the
spring schedule.

a chance to win." he said "You
can't ask for a whole lot more
than that in the first tourna
ment of the spring''
He said he thinks that the
Wildcats will be able to build
on their performance.
"I'm really optimism
about getting in position and
taking confidence from this,
even though il didn't turn out
the way we would have liked."
he said. "There were good con-
ditions and some good, low
scores today, but you had to
cam il, and we weren'l quite
up to the task. Hopefully, we
can get things corrected and
squared away before we leave
for Fresno''

must experience a trip by
yourself at some point in
your college career. The
experience is not one to be
taken lightly You will learn
an awful lot about who
\uu are and what you're
capable of doing when you
have nothing familiar on
which to lean. There are
extremely cheap hostels all
across this country; you've
just got to find them
If you can't handle
being alone, take a few
friends along. I'm not kid-
ding about these hostels
- they're very affordable
That, along with splitting
gas four or five ways, can
make it a pretty cheap trip.
Throw a dart at a map of
the U.S. and just go there.
Bring a camera, drink
some beer, meet some peo-
ple - I promise you'll have
a blast.
Now if you're com-
pletely broke like myself,
you might just be stuck
in this town. In that case,
you'll just have to make

Experts tell how to live healthier, happier
By Monica Castro
KANSAS SWOT CULLMAN
Almost everyone can relate to
one another in the sense thai healthy
living is, in general, an important as-
pect of life.
Kara Bartosch, sophomore in ki-
nesiology, said the following tips are
a few ways students can live health!
er.
START EATING A BALANCED
DIET: Super diets do not work. Also,
eating nothing at all is not healthy ei-
ther. Instead, try eating a balanced
meal Ealing the right amount of veg-
etables and fruits daily should try to
be incorporated in a diet. Eating in
moderation is also key to whatever
you might want lu eat, especially with
junk foods.
You can't say that if you work
out, you can eat whatever you want,
or if you eat healthy, you don't need
to exercise; both go hand- in-hand
Another important aspect of liv-
ing healthy is making sure you con-
sume enough calcium, Bartosch said,
"On average, a person should
drink about four glasses |of milk| a
day," she said. "You determine nuw
whether you will have osteoporosis
in the future."
THIRTY MINUTES A DAY OF
CARDIOVASCULAR EXERCISE:
Cardio exercises can involve work-
ing on an elliptical machine or run-
ning If you go to the recreation ten
ter. many machines have modes for
cardio workouts. By incorporating
cardio exercises daily, a person will
not only help themselves lose weight
but reduce stress, reduce the risk of
heart disease, increase confidence
and increase energy, she said.
Richard Rosen kranz, research
associate at the Community Health
Institute, said working on uicorpo
rating these healthy habits can help
to increase a healthier lifestyle
SLEEP: Getting adequate hours
and quality sleep is important for a
healthier lifestyle. Rosenkranz said
Sleeping in a dark, quiet room with-
out noise and light coming in is ideal
to get better sleep Not having enough
sleep affects what you do during your
waking hours. Lack of sleep leads to
health problems, depression and anx-
iety Potentially, a person could de-
velop hormonal problems as well
For students, they should try to get
on a routine to obtain mure hours of
sleep, he said.
BREAKFAST: "Eating a healthy
breakfast helps to live better because
eating sets yourself up for a good day,"
Rosenkranz said.
Eat whole grains, iruii and lean
proteins for breakfast Some oatmeal
and fruit would be a nutritious break-
fast Don't just have b dry piece of
toast - the body will crash later dur-
ing the day, because it docs not have
the nutrients it needs to provide a
lasting energy, he said.
ACTIVE TRANSPORT TO
SCHOOL OR WORK: Walking or
biking to class or work is healthy for
individuals because you have some
form of working out during the day.
Walking or biking to class also helps
to meet physical guidelines for the
day, so you might not have to go to
0QUSG1AMHUMKJTO
Going to the Peters Recreation Complex is an easy way to get 30 minutes of cardio-
vascular exercise daily.
the rec later It is also healthy on the
pocket book
STOP SMOKING: There is no
shortage of evidence of reasons to
stup Booking, he said Short Ism
smoking is not going io heavily affect
the body, but it will make teeth yel-
low and make your breath smell It is
more a long-term issue that can harm
your body and health If you are not
smoking, then you will notice OttMf
areas that will need improvements
and strive to live healthier. For those
who still smoke, they are less likely to
care about what they are doing as far
as healthy habits, Rosenkranz said
ORAL HYGIENE: Oral hygiene
is linked to cardiovascular problems
Brushing and flossing daily is very
important, Rosenkranz said Flossing
routinely could help reduce the risk
of heart problems later in life
STRESSMANAGEMENT:Leara
ing lime- management skills early will
help to manage stress There always
will be stress, but il gels worse with
procrastination, Rosenkranz said
Stress causes unhealthy habits be
cause people run out of time to lake
care of their bodies and start con-
suming caffeine. Organization and
planning homework, projects and
appointments can help reduce the
amount of stress Taking the time for
physical activities also helps, because
it allows individuals to relax and pro-
vides energy for Ihem to work on
tasks lhat need to be finished
"The challenge for college stu-
dents is the benefits are delayed."
Rosenkranz said "When you don't
do it, the negative consequences
come when you are older, and il can
cause health issues. Any investments
you put with your body will come lat-
er in life"
Laura Parenle, junior in dietetics,
also said writing in journals can help
reduce stress It can release tension
in everyday situations. It is a healthy
way to handle lee lings, she said,
CREATING "YOU" TIME: Par
eute said making time for yourself
can help to clear your mind and stay
positive Positivity is important for
health because if others around you
are positive, you most likely will have
a positive outlook on situations.
DRINK WATER: Il is important
to stay hydrated, Parente said, and
avoiding sodas is important to be-
coming healthier. Sometimes, when
people (eel hungry, they are possibly
thirsty, therefore drinking water when
you are craving something could de-
termine if il is genuinely hunger or
thirst
VITAMINS: Consuming vitamins
is important, especially by eating vi-
tamin-rich foods, but if il is difficult
for a person to eat certain foods, tak-
ing supplements can help However
a person obtains vitamins does not
matter, but taking vitamins is vital
because they help the body become
stronger in many ways

deceptions Like Harry, they are
overwhelmed by their passions,
but still struggle to avoid hurt-
ing others.
"Snow Angels" (R)
A couple that have
separated are each attempting
to pick up the thieads of a
future when they are dealt
a further blow that leads
to a dark conclusion. And a
somewhat-nerdy young man in
the throes of discovering a first
romance must also deal with
the separation and consequent
strife of his parents' failed
relationship.

THURSDAY, MARCH! MM
Disabled students share own stories
By Lacy Skinner
kamsas nwEcouaawi
lust because someone has
a disability doesn't mean he or
she is incapable of being suc-
cessful, said u renowned au-
thor who speaks about living
with autism.
Dr Temple Grand in em-
phasized the importance of
education in the life of a dis-
abled person at K-State for All.
the second annual Disability
Awareness Week exhibition,
Wednesday afternoon in the
K- Slate Student Union Court-
yard
"1 was lucky to get a good,
early education," Grandin
ok!
Kven though she said
she was a troublemaker in
her years in school, Gran-
din expressed appreciation to
lire teachers who helped her
through school and ultimately
helped her become an animal
scientist
Grandin explained thai in-
dividuals with autism, Asperg-
er's and dyslexia all possess
both strengths and weakness-
es.
Students with these dis
abilittot sin in Id identify their
strengths and "develop that
area ol rtrength" by taking rel-
evant classes during I heir fresh
man year of college, she said.
Curious individuals visit
ed informational booths about
various disabilities during the
event. They also were treated
to a performance by the Silent
Singers In nil Junction City.
A panel of K State stu-
dents shared with the audience
their experiences living with a
disability immediately follow-
ing Grandin 's speech
Each student agreed that
the hardest part about having
a disability is people general-
izing their disabilities into one
category.
Besides having disabilities,
they lead pretty normal lives,
the panelists said.
One panelist shared her
"normal" hobbies like scrap-
booking and playing softbajl to
show the audience she is hap-
py with her life and can enjoy
it like other studenU.
Jaclyn Anderson, assistant
director of Disability Support
Services, helped establish the
disability awareness week last
year. She explained that when
she arrived at K -St ate. the stu
dent body was not fully aware
or educated about the chal-
lenges and lives of those with
disabilities and decided to cre-
ate a week full of events ad

Shu n mi Robertson, fresh
man in pre -pharmacy, said the
event was very interesting, and
she liked how the panel of stu-
dents was "content with them-
selves"
Others appreciated the
opportunity to leant about stu-
dents' disabilities
"It was a really good ex-
perience to make others aware
of disabilities." said Alex Wil-
son, senior in psychology and
member of Union Program-
ming Council.
PRESIDENT | Pair to

Continued from Page 1
just kind of enjoying the mo-
ment right now A goal that
we set out for in November fi-
nally just happened"
Peele and Swift officially
are swom into office on April
3. Swift said he and Peele are
still looking for new ideas to
add to their three platform is-
sues - more peace of mind,
more for the future and more
for your money
It has been more than 10
years since a K- Stale student
body vice president ran for
president. In spring 1997, then
vice president Aaron Ono ran
for president and lost.
Peele and Swift received
2,529 votes While a total of
4,041 voters participated in
Tuesday and Wednesday's
general elections, 3,850 votes
were cast for student body
president and vice president.
Michael Bums and Grant
Groenc, who served as It-
State student body president
and vice president in 2005-06;
and Lucas Maddy, who served
as student body president in
2006-07, showed their sup-
port Wednesday night Lydia's
mother, Cathy Peele. and her
younger sister, Metanie, also
supported her at Tubby/s.
"I am so proud of her,"
Mclanie, sophomore in sec-
ondary education, said. "She
has worked so hard I'm so
excited to see what the year
holds for her. She will have
such a positive impact on peo-
ple ."
Family members and
friends filled Tubby's dressed
in their red "More for You" T-
shirts.
"This is ridiculous." said
Mary Fox, senior in political
science, at 545 p.m. "I love it.
This is buster than a Saturday
night."
Fox first met Peele in
2004 when the two served as
Student Governing Associo
lion interns as freshmen. Fox
said Peele is her best friend.
and she plans lo serve on her
SGA executive cabinet next
year.
"Lydia was definitely No
1 for the position." Fox said
"SludenLs km ivi that it's a reaJ-
ly important position Robert's
a class act. too. and they're go-
ing lo improve what they've
already started and add to it."

STRANGULATION | Depictions in
films could have led to increase
Continued from Page 1
or a noose to achieve a brief
euphoric stale caused by ce-
rebral hypoxia"
Debra Bolton, K State
extension agent with the
Kansas Family Partnership,
said i In- strangulation be
havior used to gel a high is
a symptom of disengaged
youth, or youth who don't
feel like they have an impor-
tant job to do in supporting
their families or communi-
cating effectively with them
Bolton said she thought
youth learn about the behav-
ior from the media and from
word of mouth She men-
tioned a specific movie, "Life
as a House," where there is a
scene of a youth shown huff-
ing and hanging himself to
get a high
"If a young person is
watching those kinds of
things, they're witnessing all
kinds of violence," she said.
Bolton said the behav-
ior is typical for the stages
when youth reach puberty
and more so after that time
She said she has heard
of these incidents in Kansas
but not of any in the last 12
months, though she said that
does not mean that any have
not occurred.
According to the CDC
Web site, someone can die
from strangulation, which
in these cases is not intend-
ed for suicide, "within three
minutes of continued stran
twhtiftfl" when the basic
functions and the central
nervous system fail
The site reports oth-
er consequences, including
FRIDAY SPECIAL
10 stems
of French
tulips
for $20
death of brain cells, coma,
seizures and hemorrhages of
the eye
The CDC report noted
the study was the "first at-
tempt to assess the national
incidence of deaths among
youths resulting from the
choking game" Though this
behavior might have been
practiced years before, "the
use of a ligature while play-
ing appears to be a new prac-
tice that can be fatal."
The report showed that
the deaths have increased
since 1995, where from that
year until 2004, about three
deaths were recorded How-
ever, in 2005 there were 22,
35 in 2006 and nine in 2007.
According to the MMWR
report, there is no public
health datasel that tracks
deaths because of acciden-
tal strangulation used to get
a high The 82-death number
found from the CDC study
was calculated from media
reports since the 1970s
Elaine |ohannes, K
State extension youth devel
opment specialist, said re-
search and behavior track-
ing is done through a sur-
veillance system, which has
not yet been created for in-
tentional strangulation.
She said the surveillance
would likely have to be cre-
ated from an effort by the
federal government to have
doctors screen for the behav-
ior, but that is difficult.
"It is a complex issue
that is not easily solved," she
said.
When there are cases
of children strangling them-
selves or having friends do it,
it can be difficult to know if
the child is doing it to get a
high or if it is a suicide at-
tempt, Johannes said.
Johannes said she does
not think the behavior ii as
prevalent as other risky be-
haviors in youth, though she
said that could change with
more attention by the me-
dia She said it is dangerous
to refer to the behavior as a
"game," because the behav-
ior could increase
"1 am not a big fan of
taking bizarre behavior and
sensationalizing that," she
said. "As adults, we need to
be thoughtful in our infor-
mation around kids."
Johannes said the more
the behavior is labeled as a
game, the more it is attrac-
tive to youth who engage in
risky behavior. She used ex-
amples of the game "chick-
en" and said children cannot
always distinguish a game
from harmful behavior
Johannes said the behav
ior is rare, and she thinks, if
the cases would increase, it
would not become a trend
like bingeing. She said self
choking is related to other
risky behaviors, and families
should be aware of these.
Bolton said an impor-
tant part of prevention is to
include the whole family in
the prevention practice to
promote health and behav-
ior.
"Health is physical,
mental and emotional well-
being," she said. "All of those
things promote a youth who
is doing well in school and
actively engaged in activities
with peers"

Police to conduct saturation patrol throughout Saturday
By Erk Davis
KANSAS STATE COLLEGIAN
The Riley County Police
Department will work with the
Kansas Highway Patrol this
weekend in an attempt to con-
trol drunken driving.
On Saturday, the RCPD
will conduct a DUI saturation
point, according to an RCPD
press release. Officers on patrol
will be looking for traffic vio-
lations and signs of impaired
driving.
Lt Steve Boyda RCPD
said the patrol wasn't specifi-
cally because of the "Fake Pat-
rick's Day" celebration in Ag-
gieville,
'[Saturday night] was cho-
sen because of the high num-
ber of people that were out
drinking," Boyda said, "lt is a
weekend night and we wanted
to have it in conjunction with
a lot of drunks being on the
roadway"
According to the press
release, motorists who show
signs of impaired driving will
be pulled over and "appropri-
ate enforcement action will be
taken"
Boyda said saturation pa-
trols are different from DUI
checkpoints in several ways.
"A [DUI] checkpoint is
where everyone is stopped,"
Boyda said. "The road is shut
down and every car on the
road is stopped."
On a saturation patrol,
Boyda said, officers drive
around "aimlessly" looking for
signs of impaired drivers
"There is a list of 20 traf-
fic violations, and if you have
any number of them, in concert
with each other, the percentage
chances of intoxication goes
up," Boyda said.
Those signs include, but
are not limited to, failure to
stay in a single lane of traffic,
staying left of center, making
wide radius turns, driving slow
er than the posted speed limit
or driving without headlights
on, Boyda said
The RCPD wiU not be the
only law enforcement agency
guarding the streets of town;
as the Kansas Highway Patrol
also will have several cars on
patrol.
Boyda said the highway
patrol will be covering both
Geary and Riley counties, but
their cars are allowed to come
into town if they wish
They will stick to the
main roads," Boyda said. 'You
know. Port Riley Boulevard,
Tuttle Creek Boulevard and
Kimball Avenue, but there is
nothing to say they cant come
in and around Aggievilie"
Saturday's patrol will be
the first in a series of five that
will be conducted this year, ac
cording to the press release
The funding for the saturation
patrol is provided by the Kan-
sas Department of Transporta-
tion's Highway Safety Project.

Cutting the pork
Photo IN u tuition by Jonathan Knight | (XULBGUN
Earmarks, also known as pork, fund several worthy projects like K State research, but many people and legislators want to eliminate them
completely.
Earmarks fund several campus research projects
By Scott Glrard
KANSAS STATE COLLEGIAN
Congressional ear-
marks have a bad reputa-
tion in much of the Unit-
ed States For years, mem-
bers of Congress have
tried to cut the number
of earmarks, also known
as pork, even going so far
as to eliminate them com
plflfly.
However, earmarks,
which are added to unre
lated bills to fund research
and construction projects
throughout the U.S., have
specific purposes - some
good and some bad, said
Rep. Nancy Boyda, D
Kan
On the bad side, ear-
marks have funded ques-
tionable projects like a
bridge in Alaska that cor
nected an island of less
than 50 people to the
mainland. That project
cost $223 million dollars.
On the good side, uni-
versities like K- State re-
ceive several millions of
dollars each year from
earmarks, including funds
for stem -cell and biosecu
rity research, said Sue Pe-
terson, director of govern-
ment relations at K-State
Peterson said she has
not determined the final
amount K-State received
from earmarks during the
last fiscal year, but she es-
timated the funding was
between $14 and $15 mil-
lion
The earmarks will
fund projects at the Mid-
west Institute for Com-
parative Stem Cell Biolo-
gy. Great Plains Sorgham
Improvement and Utiliza-
tion Center, and the Bios-
ecurity Research Institute,
among other projects
Peterson, who lob-
bies Congress for K-State
funds, said the universi-
ty stays in regular contact
with all Kansas represen-
tatives and senators
We work with all
six members," Peterson
said "1 would say we have
good projects and great
relationships with them"
Boyda said many
of the earmark projects
would falter if they did not
receive funding from ear-
marks It is possible that
several of these projects
would not receive fund
ing from other areas like
separate government
grants and private con-
tributions.
"Without this fund-
ing, some of these pro-
grams could be inter-
rupted," she said. "They
could have to stop - it
would be a mess"
The Biosecu rity Re-
search Institute has re-
ceived about $16 million
from earmarks for con-
struction, equipment and
other costs, said Scott
Rusk, director of the
BRI
Rusk said this fund-
ing has allowed the BRI to
continually move forward
with construction and re-

Senate,
House pass
coal plant
legislation
By Kristin Hodges
KANSAS STATE COLLEGIAN
The Kansas Senate passed
a revised energy bill that would
expand the range of coal-bum-
ing power plants In south-
west Kansas, but the governor
might keep that from happen-
ing
The Senate passed a bill
that afreets plants in Finney
County Thursday with a 31 7
vote after the House passed the
bill with a 75-47 vote Wednes-
day. However, the House's
vote was nine votes short of
the total needed to override a
possible veto by the governor.
Gov Kathleen Sebelius'
press secretary released a
statement Wednesday an hour
after the House's decision. It
stated that the governor does
not support specific language
of the bill that restricts the
Kansas Department of Health
and Environment Secretary's
power to set new air-pollu-
tion standards and limits the
authority to deny air-qualify
permits for proposed power
plants.
"Due to the Legislature's
decision to keep that lan-
guage in this bill, it's really not
a question of if she'll veto, but
when," Sebelius' press secre-
tary wrote in a released state-
ment
Seth Bundy. spokesman
for Ihe governor, said noth-
ing changed from Wednesday
to Thursday, so the governor's
statement remains the same.
In October 2007, KDHE
secretary Roderick Bremby de-
nied permits that would allow
the Sunflower Electric Pow-
er Corporation to build two
proposed 700- mega watt coal
burning power plants because
of the plants' annual amount
of emissions and effect on the
environment
After the denial, three sen-
ators and three representatives
formed a conference commit-
tee and created a compromise
bill that included green items
to persuade legislators (o look
past the plants' carbon diox-
ide emissions However, the
language regarding the KDHE
secretary's authority still does
not meet the approval of the
governor
Sen. Mark Taddiken. R
Clifton, voted for the bill that
passed Thursday With the an-
ticipated veto from Sebelius.
Taddiken said he will be dis-
appointed
"At the point we're in now,
this bill has been through con-
ference committee," he said
"It's not amendable Since uc
have passed this version, it's
on its way to the governor's
desk If the governor vetoes it,
and it is not overridden, the is-
sue would have to start over in
a different bill"
Taddiken is a strong sup-
porter of alternative ener-
gy and said he is the chair of
Kansas Department of Agri
culture's 25 by '25 initiative,
which has a goal of having 25
percent of the nation's total
energy needs provided by re-
newable energy by 2025

OPINION
KANSAS STATE COLLEGIAN
Hypocrites
U.S. actions involving gun trade differ
I from rhetoric against China, Venezuela
MARQUIS
CLARK
According to the BBC, the
US government recently released
a report criticizing China's de-
fense spending
Responding
lo the projected
$59 billion bud-
get, the report
said "the real
Chinese defense
budget for 2007
was at least
double the stat-
ed amount" In-
ternational con-
cern has contin-
ued to increase,
as this is the
20th consecu-
tive year that China has increased
its defense budget, and statements
that China will act militarily to
prevent Taiwanese independence
further fuel the global commun i-
ty's worries
The Associated Press reported
that Venezuelan president Hugo
Chavez ordered nearly 9.000
troops - 10 battalions - to the
border with Columbia Accord-
ing to the Anns Control Associ-
ation, in 2005 the United States
condemned the sale of attack and
transport crafts and AK-47's by
Russia and flight attack aircraft
by Spain to Venezuela Concerns
were voiced by then- Secretary of
Defense Donald Rumsfeld
In testimony before the Sen-
ate Armed Services Committee on
March 15, 2007, Gen Bantz Crad
dock, commander of US South -
em Command noted with alarm
that "Venezuela's military includ-
ed up to 80,000 service members"
He also questioned the fate
of excess new weapons and dis-
placed weapons, primarily wheth-
er or not those weapons would
end up in the hands of Columbian
rebels, who are the source of the
cunent antagonism
Those of us living in the Lnit
Chrittin* W«*n | COLLEGIAN
ed States shouldn't be surprised
by the actions taken by both Chi-
na and Venezuela; in fact, our
only shock should come at the
rank hypocrisy of our rhetoric
concerning each situation
According to the Office of
Management and Budget, the
2007 budget presented by the
president included $49! 7 billion
for the Department of Defense.
including $50 billion in bridge
funding to support the military's
Global War on Terror efforts in
Afghanistan and Iraq
The Congressional Budget Of
fice has estimated the cost of con-
ducting the actual armed conflict
being waged by a major global
power - the war in Iraq - as cost-
ing between $9 billion and SI 3
billion each month Even high es-
timates of China's defense spend-
ing - between $97 billion and
$139 billion - don't compare with
the actual US allocations for de-
fense
And as we look down our
noses at Russia. Spain and Bra-
zil for arming Venezuela, accord
ing to the Federation of American
Scientists, the estimated United
States market share for total arms
exports from 1989 to 1996 is 45 4
percent, totaling about $300 bil-
lion
The Foreign Assistance Act
of 1961 serves as the law of the
land concerning U S foreign arms
sales. It distinguishes between two
types of sales - direct commercial
sales from US arms manufactur-
ers directly to foreign countries:
and foreign military sales, the sale
of arms by the US government it-
self.
Of course we are selective as
to which countries we sell these
arms, limiting our business to
long-standing allies (like Israel,
embroiled in armed conflict with
increasingly hostile neighbors,
most notably Palestine) or gov-
ernments righting drug trafficking
(e.g., Columbia, as mentioned ear-
lier)
Perhaps the most problem-
atic of our policies concerns sur-
plus The Department of Defense
has solved this by dispensing most
of our surplus arms for free or at
deep reduction through the excess
defense articles program
What we need to realize is
this; The United States is not the
only country in the world will-
ing to protect its sovereignty And
that "patriotism" is not a unique-
ly American concept. While we
believe that whatever actions our
government takes to protect itself
are glorious and moral, we cannot
ignore the fact that there are oth-
er perceptions of our actions in
the world.
Antagonism, nationalism and
"the enemy' 1 are in the eye of the
beholder Unlike most U.S. citi-
zens, the popular media interpre-
tation of US actions is rarely un-
questionably accepted by the rest
of the global community
If we are to believe the words
of our government - that the
United Slates must continue to
lead the international communi-
ty - then it behooves us as a na-
tion to align our actions with our
words Because the rest of the
world is doing as we do

And yes, he makes us very happy
for agreeing to run a story about
him.
So, I'm watching the game, and
I'm pretty sure the announcer
just claimed that Michael Beasley
is a product of global warming.
So this must mean At Gore is a
Kevin Durant fan. We hope Bea-
sley can concentrate more on his
"A" game than looking out for the
weather, because, don't forget Bea-
sley, we are watching you on You-

You can call me the KSL dog

How about the K- State campus
squirrel whisperer? If anyone is
interested, we would love to shoot
a photo of someone talking to the

To the halftime entertainment co-
ordinator: You suck. We want the

We agree Also, the Marching Co-

I'm sorry, but I don't like The

Yes, there is something wrong with
you. You should contact Mercy

FRIDAY, MARCH h&
Sports columnist
lacks personal .
knowledge of fans
KELSEY
CHILDRESS
Apparently Jason Whit-
lock, a sports columnist for
the Kansas City Star, thinks
he knows a
thing or two
about the re-
state bas-
ketball team
and its fans.
In a
column
written
about the
Wildcats on
Feb 26 en-
titled "rC-
State Bas-
ketball Wal -
lowing in
Negativity," Whitlock charged.
among other offences, that
"many Wildcat fans have
turned embarrassingly vul-
gar, hostile and defensive" be-
cause of our losing streak His
article claims that Wildcats
fans are creating a dangerous
environment because of the
"chip on their shoulder."
Whitlock also said "the
Wildcats are being swallowed
by the enmity, paranoia and
feeling of victimization that
permeates the K- St ate fan
base and fuels firsl-year head
coach Frank Martin's coach-
ing style. You can't consistent-
ly win basketball games while
throwing a pity party"
This is not the first time
Whitlock has made disparag-
ing comments about K- State
fans On Feb 1. Jeff Gor-
don of the St Louis Post -Dis-
patch wrote about the victo-
ry over the University of Kan-
sas, "Kansas City Star colum-
nist [ason Whitlock herald-
ed the breakthrough victory,
but believed their fans needed
to tone it down a notch - 'I
understand the passion - the
losing streak and KU's sudden
football ascension heightened
the importance of this game
- but a K- State alum, Bai-
ley Maxwell, stood
courts ide. wearing
a vulgar T-shirt that
accurately reflected
the mood and the
taunts of KSL "s stu-
dent section and
I'm well aware that
the majority of KSU
fans have far more
class than to don
an obscene T-shirt
while sitting on the
court.' Whitlock
wrote Yeah, well,
24 years is a long
time to go without
beating your arch ri-
val on your home
court"
Gordon
brought up a good
point - if K State s
hatred for KU didn't exist;
Sunflower Showdowns in all
sports ever played al K-SfaTc
would become just normal
games. \
Whitlock is entitled to his
opinion, bul there are many
reasons why the press pass
given to him by the K-State
athletic department seems un
deserved Whitlock obviously
doesn't know the Wildcat fans
who permeate the culture and
society of Manhattan
Whitlock wasn't thenrhi
see the students that got out
of bed at 4 a m to stand iri
line for 12 hours to get a good
seat at that same KU game:
And he must not be around
when Aggie ville erupts af
ter a game with fans flooding
the streets, living and breath-
ing K State sports, crying wjth
members of the team whan •
they lose and celebrating Bit h
them when they win 7 !
Manhattan is not a towii
filled with an "inferiority -
complex." Manhattan is )C
State The city is filled wiflE
the thirst for its good ot' tjfj*
to win. It is the hometown of
K- State alumni who both live
here and drive hundreds of.
miles every weekend to see;
their team win.
These "vulgar" fans Whit
lock refers to are not the
fans that the true Manhattan
knows. True Wildcat fans arc
fearless and dedicated. They
stand in the rain and camp '.
out in the cold to see theft,]
team play. And if that niak£>
them seem like "defensiva"-
fans, then so be it Wildcat '.
fans come to see a good game,
not to play nice.

KSU RUGBY
Men's rugby team hopes to move into national title contention
By Jost Garcia
KANSAS STATE COLLEGIAN
There is no lack of fo-
cus or confidence in the K-
State men's rugby club for this
weekend's home tournament
Members said the home-field
advantage seems to be a big
help for the club and makes
the mood around practice a
little looser and much more
confident.
"The crowd will be the
16th, 17th, and 18th man on
the field this weekend," said
Hale Sloan, president of the
rugby club and senior in bi-
ological and agricultural en-

Oklahoma
gineering "The crowd will be
huge."
The field at Memori
al Stadium is one of the only
fields in the conference that is
regulation size, which makes
the teams play smoother and
faster It also helps the team
spread the offense out across
the whole field. With games
against two solid Big 12 Con-
ference opponents, Oklaho-
ma and Oklahoma State, the
men said they feel a sweep is
possible
"A sweep this week-
end would mean a lot for the
whole rugby program, not just
this team." said Conner Smith,
fifth-year student in architec-
tural engineering.
If all goes as planned and
the team picks up both wins
this weekend, the Wildcats se-
cure a trip to the Western Col-
legiate Rugby Tournament in
Dallas. The ultimate goal for
this year's team is a chance to
play in the tournament.
Coach Danny Blea said,
"In order for us to make it to
the Western tournament, we
must win these two games
this weekend."
Making it to the tourna-
ment and winning the cham-
pionship would mean the
team gets an automatic in
vitation to the club for a trip
to nationals later this season
The club is sitting at 1-1 in
conference play and 8-3 over-
all this season. Winning this
weekend's tournament would
put the club in great shape to
stretch the season out past
May and make it into the play-
offs - leaving the team with a
chance to compete for the ti-
tle.
After beating Benedictine
College in its last game, the
team is confident going into
this weekend's games, Smith
said.
"We are looking to beat
Oklahoma and Oklahoma
Stale this weekend based on
how well we played last game
at Benedictine." Smith said.
This weekend's tourna-
ment starts at 1:30 p.m. Sat-
urday when the team plays
Oklahoma State and con-
cludes at 11 am Sunday
against Oklahoma.

sic from D ) Hicks
The step show has been

when siepping was first in-
troduced to MHS students.
Myles said
The show has grown
larger every year since its
debut, and this year's show
Is expected to be the largest
yet he said
Myles, originally from
Chicago, stepped with his
chapter of Phi Beta Sigma at
Eastern Illinois University,

When he came to Man-
hattan, he brought his skills

to see this from us, and so
we try to do our best every
year to give the mm muni
ty what they want," Myles
said.
Myles said the BSU
members have been anx
iuusly awaiting the perfor-
mance for some time
"Our group is very ex-
cited for this." Myles said. "J
can't even explain how ex-
cited we are We look for-
ward to this every year"

Wildcats are not only seen
in Manhattan and around the
Midwest. They have been pop-
ping up all over the world
since 1969, when the K-State
Alumni Association began the
Traveling Wildcats program
The program offers var-
ious opportunities for trav-
elers who would like to vis-
it other countries or discover
MM places within the United
States.
Traveling Wildcats is an
open group and travelers do
not need to be K-State alum-
ni or a member o( the K-State
Alumni Association Panic
ipants can bring friends and
relatives
"The prugram has stu
dent travelers very rarely, but
we are looking at some young
alumni trips," said Tcrin Daily,
associate director of adminis-
trative programs at the K-State
Alumni Association
Historically, the most
popular destinations are Italy
and Germany A lot of tourists
have interesl in Alaska. Daily
said
Some of the most afford-
able lours are Alaska Cruise
and Ukraine with Romania
Those who want to travel
around the world by private jet
should be ready to spend mure
than $50,000
There are some advan-
tages of being involved in the
Traveling Wildcats program,
which can make a journey
more convenient.
"Vuu are traveling with
like minded people - with oth
er K- Staters," Daily said
She said the companies
they work with are very repu-
table.
"We check their work
thoroughly before signing up
with them." she said The pro
gram's officers also provide in
formation that will enhance
travelers' experience
Norm and Claudia lack
son. both K-Stale alumni from
Topeka. have visited almost
every part ol the world since
retirement
"We enjoy traveling in a
small groups - that's why we
chose Traveling Wildcats,"
Claudia |ackson said.
We are not a muse-
um kind of people, for us it
is more interesting to explore
nature. Australia and New
Zealand are fascinating plac-
es from this point of view," she
said
Rochelle Bevers of Den-
ver, Colo,, is taking advantage
of the program though she is
not a K-State alumni She said
she will go to Peru next week.
"I never visit again the
places where I have already
M«i I am always looking for
something new," she said.
The fact that she is not a
shy person helped her to truly
enjoy the trips, she said.
"I have never had a break-
fast or dinner alone," Bevers
said. "Everywhere I find nice
people that are exceedingly ac-
cepting"
Though she said she feels
absolutely comfortable while
traveling alone, the Travel
ing Wildcats program is rea-
sonably priced and offers the
company of a group of people
from Ihe same area
Bill Bmford. 1954 K- Stale
alumnus from Hutchinson,
Kan . said he is looking for-
ward to visiting China.
"We expect to have a good
time in another part of the
world, meet local people and,
of course, see the Great Wall."

Dress
properly
on St.
Patty's
Get ready, K State Fake
and real St. Patrick's Days are
just around the comer, Ah,
yes, the one
day of the
year, besides
home foot-
ball games,
when the
entire town
is expected
lo roll into
Aggieville
around 8
am for
an all-day
drink-fest
What better
excuse to down pints of green
beer and justify a splurge on a
bottle of Guinness than cele-
brating the Irish?
The most important thing
to always remember on these
two days, of course, is to drink
lawfully and responsibly. How-
ever, the second most impor-
tant thing to remember is to
dress responsibly. Some of you
might remember an article 1
wrote last semester on what
not to wear when tailgating
For those of us heading to the
'Villi- Saturday, the same gen-
eral guidelines apply. But for
those who missed it, let's re-
view and add some specific
rules for St Patrick's Day.
1. Ladies, please: no mi-
cro-mini skirts, even though
you might have the legs for one
after sweating it out at the Rec
the past few months while pre-
paring for spring break Once
you start to lose your footing
after a couple of Belfast Bomb-
ers, trust me, no one wants to
see your new green thong Save
it for your boyfriend.
2. Guys - no matter how
funny you and your boys think
it will be to lake a green T-shirt
to Threads, have some sexu-
al or obscene saying printed
on the back and wear it to the
bars, no one else - especial-
ly girls - is going to find it hu-
morous
Let me explain Last year,
my friend's boyfriend and some
of his buddies made St, Pat-
rick's Day T-shirts together.
However, the only thing on
them related to the holiday was
the color green. The slogan was
inappropriate and offensive.
My friend refused to
let him wear it out, and he
couldn't understand why be-
cause he and his friends swore
it was just a joke and thought
everyone would find it funny.
But after letting him ask many
women what they would think
if they saw some guy wearing
the shirt, one of the most pop-
ular phrases from the women
was "tool bag" Do your repu-
tation a favor, and save these
shirts for a guy's night in.
3. Just like the tailgat-
mn rules, stilettos and pumps
should be completely avoid-
ed during the Irish celebra
tions St Patrick's and Fake
St Patrick's Day are all-day
events By 3 p.m., you probably
would be carrying them any-
way, so stick to flats or old ten-
nis shoes. Don't wear any kicks
you're afraid to ruin. Who
knows where the day will take
v >u so be prepared for the
worst and dress for comfort,
not fashion.
4. Don't bring anything de
signer or expensive - clothes
and accessories - out with you
Chances are you will leave
your purse or a pair of sun-
glasses at the bar, or you'll end
up with some sort of green
slain on your shirt or pants by
the end of the evening. Just
take the essentials - cash, ID
and ChapStkk You'll be way
less bummed the next morning
when you're out $12 for your
ID than if you're out $212 for
your Burberry scarf.
5. Dress in layers It's sur>
posed to start out chilly Sat-
urday and climb to a comfort-
able 46 degrees, so wear the
appropriate long-sleeve T-shirt,
sweatshirt, jacket, or combina-
tion of those Again, make sure
you're not afraid to rip or ruin
any clothing items, unless you
plan on being extremely care-
ful But let's get serious here -
the day's going lo be a little

TRENDS THROUGH THE DECADES
Flash from the past
1950s styles
still evident
in new century
By Sarah Burford
KANSAS STATE COLLEGIAN
Ever considered wearing your
grandparents' clothes? Well, you
might be sporting their style with-
out knowing it.
Fashion styles from the 1950s
have regained popularity in several
different forms. Hair, shoes, cloth-
ing and music are all showing traces
of the '50s these days.
Maria Day, senior curator for
the apparel, textiles and interior de-
sign department, said men's hair-
styles have recently resembled those
of 1950s movie stars.
"Men are using more product in
their hair for the short, messy look,'
Day said. "Its definitely something
we're seeing young men wear. It's
something still going on, and that's
where it started."
Day said James Dean and El-
vis Presley greatly influenced men's
fashion styles in the '50s, includ-
ing the wild hair. Dean also made
the white T-shirt, jeans and jacket
ensemble popular, which men still
wear today
"For men, these are people they
looked up to because they were
movie stars," Day said.
Derek Hoff, assistant profes-
sor of history, added Marlon Bran-
do to the list of influential 1950s
male movie stars. He said Brando
started the leather jacket trend with
his movie "The Wild One" in 1953
This fashion is also gaining popular-
ity.
Day said women's clothing in
the '50s emphasized the hourglass
silhouette (a narrow waist and full
skirt) and neckline Though full
skirts haven't come back in full
swing, the pencil skirt, another '50s
trend, has been re-popularized in
the last few years.
"The pencil skirt with a wide
belt and white sweater - that's def-
initely something they wore in the
'50s," Day said
Short cropped jackets - Jackie
O. style - have made a comeback,
Day said, and shirts with sleeves
that have ruffled hems also are a
trend from the *50s
Formal suits for men have re-
mained relatively the same for years.
However, the suit cut that is popu-
lar today is more slimming and fits
closer to the body, like suits from
the '50s. In contrast, men wore boxy
suits with wider lapels in the 1980s.
Women's formal dresses in the
'50s were often strapless or had spa-
ghetti straps, which is still very com-
mon in fashion today. Day said her
daughter, who recently gradual
ed from college, often would have
cocktail parties where attendees
would wear formal dresses This is
also a trend from the '50s that has
become a popular alternative to
spending money at the bars.
Stilettos, ankle-strap heels and
ballerina flats are often seen today
in women's fashion Day said these
shoes all originated in the '50s.
"Audrey Hepburn and olh-
er stars certainly made (ballerina
flats] popular," Day said "That was
the shoe to wear, and they're every-
where now."
Aside from fashion trends, the
1950s greatly influenced music
when it started rock-n roll. Howev-
er. Hoff said rock-n-roll in the '50s
was all about integration, which has
changed today
"When rock was born, it was
about racial mixing and challeng-
ing the status quo," Hoff said. "That
meaning is lost today."
He said rock-n- roll's fusion of
blues and country brought the styles
of both black and white people to-
gether Today, he said the music is
"splintered" Some music appeals
more to black populations, and oth-
er music appeals more to white peo-
ple
Sieve Maxwell, professor of
music, teaches a new class at In-
state about the history of rock-n-
roll. He said middle-class teenagers
would listen to rhythm and blues as
COURTESY ART
a form of rebellion against their par-
ents. But as it grew in popularity, it
also became a form of social change
Maxwell said artists still talk about
social change in music, but race is
sues are much easier to deal with to-
day because of how U.S. culture has
changed
He said rock bands today have
been returning to the band format
lhat began in the '50s - a lead sing
er, guitarist, bass player and drum-
mer - instead of having larger bands
like m the 1980s
He said current bands have
been sporting Buddy Holly fashion
trends from the '50s as well Sweater
vests, skinny lies and hornrimmed
glasses have especially been popular
among British bands
Maxwell said music has adapt-
ed so much from rock-n-roll that it's
hard to define rock -n roll anymore
"There are so many things
out there There's not just this one
thing," Maxwell said "At that time it
really was jusl rock-n-roll. That's a
big difference"
Little-known comedies still worth watching
In the wake of a po-
tentially epic Fake Patrick's
Day celebration, a trip to the
theater might put too much
stress on the wallet Here's
a look at two comedies re-
cently released on DVD
Neither came to Manhattan
during their theatrical runs,
and both will help nurse the
hangover while you prepare
for spring break.
The Oarjeeling Limited"
••••&
atvtowi by Bitndin Pn+qtr
Wes Anderson, writer
and director of "Rush mo re"
and "The Royal Tenen
baums," has made a habit of
creating quirky and touch
ing movies with large doses
of subtle humor
In "The Darjeeling
Limited," frequent Ander-
son colleagues Owen Wil
son and Jason Schwartz
man join Adrien H roily as
three brothers taking a trip
across India to reconnect
after their father's untimely
death Their train, the Dar
jeeltng Limited, provides the
setting for most of the film
The film exhibits all
of Anderson's strengths as
a writer and director. The
eclectic soundtrack, inter-
esting cinematography and
diverse characters provide
the perfect playground for
the three main actors
The DVD also includes
a short film, "Hotel Cheva-
lier," starring Schwartzman
and Natalie Portman Its
the perfect companion piece
to the main feature, though
it makes more sense after
repeated viewings
Death at a Funeral"
• •••rtrft
"Death at a Funer
a!" takes a more direct ap
proach to comedy, ll could
be described as the ultimate
situation comedy, as the film
becomes funnier and funni-
er while the plot spins out of
control.
The story follows a fam-
ily's attempt to give the fa-
ther in the family a dignified
funeral It takes place in the
span of a couple hours, and
no lime is wasted on unnec-
essary exposition or senti-
mentality.
A funeral might not
seem like the ideal setting
for a comedy, but toss in
some accidentally- ingested
acid, the secret gay lover of
the deceased and a bunch of
colorful British family mem-
bers, and the movie almost
spins out of control.
"Death at a Funeral"
hits the perfect notes for a
comedy. It's hilarious, relat-
ablc and exaggerated with-
out being unbelievable or
insincere It didn't receive
the attention it deserved in
theaters - don't miss il the
second time around
SWAYZE
CELEBRITY NEWS
CELEBRITIES EXPRESS
REMORSE FOR SWAYZE
LOS ANGELES, CaW. -After
news of Patrick Swayze's shock-
ing diagnosis hit Hollywood on
Wednesday,
his celebrity
friends have
responded
with an
outpouring
of love and
support.
On
Thursday's
"TheVlew" —
Whoopi
Goldberg expressed her con-
cern and said it was Patrick who
insisted that she play the part of
psychic Oda Mae Brown in "Ghost."
"I have not spoken to him,
but I will tell you his physician
went public and said (Patrick) has
got a very limited amount of the
disease," Whoopi said of her former
co-star . "I won an Oscar because
of Patrick Swayze. So baby,, we
want you to feet better and we'll
talk soon I hope"
Meanwhile, stars also ex-
pressed shock at the 16th Annual
Alzheimer's Benefit - A Night at
Sardi's on Wednesday night in Los
Angeles.
"I just wish him a speedy
recovery and hope that whatever
treatments he's going through go
well," Michael Chiklis told Access
Hollywood
Even those who have never
met Patrick expressed their sym-
pathy and prayers.
"I've never met Patrick, but
he's very good friends with my
best friends and I'm sure they're
devastated. We wish him well and
Godspeed," former 'Seinfeld" star
Jason Alexander said.
But it may have been "Boston
Legal" executive producer David E.
Ketley who summed up the reac-
tion in one word.
"Horrifying," Kelley told Ac-
cess,
Horrifying indeed, when you
take a closer look at the statistics.
According to the National Cancer
Institute, 37,000 people in the U.S.
will be diagnosed with pancreatic
cancer this year - 33,000 will die
from it.
In fact, it has the highest fatal-
ity rate of all cancers and the aver-
age life expectancy after diagnosis
is three to Six months.
"Most of the patients, or the
significant portion of the patients,
die soon after the diagnosis," pan-
creatic cancer researcher Dr. Laszto
Boros told Access.
Yet despite the 99 percent
mortality rate. Dr. Boros of the
Hirshberg Foundation for Pan-
creatic Cancer Research said the
statement from Swayze's doctor
that his patient had "a very limited
amount of disease" might be an
encouraging sign.
"This probably means that
he has a small cancer or small
tumor and the likelihood of spread
is small at this point* Dr. Boros
explained.
SPEARS FATHER TO STAY
CONSERVATOR, FOR NOW
LOS ANGELIS, Calif. —
Being Britney Spears* father is
now a paying gig — through
most of the summer, at least.
A court
has ordered
the troubled
pop star's
estate to pay
James Spears
$2,500 in
weekly com-
pensation
and autho-
rized him to
lease a car.
On Wednes-
day, his authority to handle his
daughter's affairs, which was
scheduled to expire March 10,
was extended ur*ll July 31.
Los Angeles Superior Court
Commissioner Reva Goetz
ordered the weekly payments
in documents released by the
court Thursday but signed on
Wednesday. James Spears, who
recently worked as a caterer,
was named conservator of his
daughter and co-conservator of
her estate after she was hospi-
talized twice in January.
Goetz also ordered Spears'
estate to make a $ 58,800 pay-
ment to Samuel D. Ingham III,
the court-appointed attorney
who represents Britney Spears
in the conservatorship case.
She also authorized the pop
star's psychiatrist to hire two
other doctors and pay them
retainers totaling $9,000 from
her estate

FRIDAY FACTOID
Women were first to play basketball
courtesy photo
Member* of the 1910 women's mtramoral basketball team pose for a picture in their uniforms. Women at
K-State did not play an intercollegiate game until 1 968
By Scott Girard
KANSAS SMTFiLOllMJIAN
Thuugh the men's basket-
ball learn now fills more seats
in Bra tillage Coliseum than
the women's team, women
were the first to play the sport
al K-State
On May, 25, 1901, the
first basketball game on cam-
pus was played by women in
a calisthenics class at Kan-
sas State Agricultural Col-
lege. The purple squad de-
feated the red squad 9-2. The
uniforms consisted of long
bloomers and shirts that had
to cover ail skin except the
women's hands and faces.
After the initial game,
women were not allowed to
play outside They continued
to play in the Women's Au-
ditorium, which was located
where Holtz Hall is now.
In 1902, the universi
ty's faculty denied the worn
en's team's request to play in-
tercollegiate games Interest-
ingly, the student team beat a
team of faculty members 46-4
months earlier
The next year the men's
team played its first intercol-
legiate game, losing to Haskell
College 60-7.
The women continued
to play in intramural leagues,
gaining popularity in the
1920s and 30s.
Hazel Blecha, who played
basketball from 1915-17, told
K Stater magazine in 2001
that the players did nol move
much because their uniforms
constricted them so much.
She also said the court was
designed in three sections,
mid players »ai not allowed
to leave their respective sec-
tion or they would be called
for a foul.
"We stayed in our as-
signed position.'' said Blecha,
who was 106 at the time of
the interview. "Uniforms were
so bulky, we did not dare run
around for fear of getting tan-
gled up and falling down"
The K-State women's
team did not play its first in-
tercollegiate game until 1968,
and the first women's basket-.
ball scholarship was awarded
in 1976

Fred Newton, director of
|K State Counseling Services,
cited recent research with K-
IState freshmen that 60 per
lcent of students had sleep lo-
jtals that fell within the stan
Idard for amount of sleep rec
lummended, while 40 percent
■did not.
"I just had a eon versa
It ion with a student that went
lm sleep at S a.m. and thought
Ithey would sleep the whole
[day. but that would really mess
[with your practices," Newton
bald
Newton said there are
I many reasons why students
I fail to reach the standard
(amount of sleep. He said stress
lis the No. 1 problem students
complain about. It could also
be irregular behavior like stu-
dents staying up until 2 a.m.
one night and then 10 p.m. the
next Bad practices, like exer-
cising or consuming caffeine
before going to sleep, could
also keep students awake, he
said.
Newton also said the un-
derlying issue could be caused
by physiological problems or
sleep disorders If that is the
case, people should be evalu-
ated, Newton said Students
can visit the sleep clinic at
Mercy Regional Health Cen
ter.
"No one ever dies from
lack of sleep," Newton said
"And what that means is even
tually everyone falls asleep.
The body cannot handle stay-
ing awake. The problem is get
ling adequate sleep, which is
what we are talking about. II
varies - some people need 6
hours and some people need 9
or 10 hours "
Sometimes a short nap is
not enough for a student to
make up for inadequate hours
of sleep
"You need to go through
all the stages of sleep to get the
henefits of sleep. That usually
takes 3 hours to gu through a
full sleep, and at night most
people go through 2 cycles.
There are various levels of
stages, which can be mea-
sured by brain-wave activity,"
Newton said
When students can find
the time but still have trouble
falling asleep, Newton said
they can try different methods
to actually fall asleep.
"One of the things you do
is calm yourself down, you can
play the right music, dim your
lights, eat the right foods,"
Newton said. "You can do a
pattern to try and get your-
self in a rhythm: some people
do calming things like read a
book"

Robert Coram devel-
oped an interest for foreign
languages at an early age.
His grandmother, an immi-
grant from Hungary, always
spoke in Hungarian.
Coram then took classes
in different languages while
in middle school - he stud-
ied French, German and
Spanish But Coram devel-
oped a passion for French.
and after he received exten-
sive support from his high
school teachers, he pursued
the language in college.
Almost four decades lat-
er. Coram, 60, serves as the
head of the Department of
Modern Languages After a
brief teaching stint with the
University of Southern Cal
ifornia-Los Angeles, Co
rum came to K-State in 1977
He said he intended to stay
with the university for only
three or four years before
he moved back to his native
Bast Coast
"Here 1 am ~ still," Co-
rum said during an inter
view in his Eisenhower Hall
office, "It grows on you. It's
an easy, nice place to live
- nice people, nice students,
relaxed atmosphere. And, of
course, after my experience,
I like to point out those ad
vantages to our faculty re-
cruits who come through for
interviews"
Serving as a faculty fa-
cilitator is one of the most
important roles as Modern
Languages department head,
Coram said - he allows fac-
ulty to pursue their ideas
and plans within the mission
of the department

"The world is constantly
changing, and for a depart-
ment like modern languag-

the different international
commitments and contribu-
tions," Coram said
During his time at K

partment has continuously
expanded Modern Languag
es now offers 11 languag-
es, faculty and staff mem-
bers within the department
represent 24 countries, and
the department's enrollment
is twice its amount 15 years

"There's much more of
an international accent now
and emphasis," Coram said
"It's one of the university's
core missions * globaliza-
tion and how the university
can play a leading role in in-

in that "

In 1982-83, Corum received
the Outstanding Teacher

as "really palpable recogni-
tion by my colleagues and
students," he said.
"I think that's the great-
est reward that any teach

help them and to allow them
to see things that they may
not have seen before," Co-

Fresh or Faux
h decisions which flower type is right for wedding
Brides-to-be have many
choices to consider, but the
Choice between real find fake
Bowers for the wedding is one
decision that is overlooked
While fresh flowers seem to
be the most popular, silk flow
ers have become more popular
•nice their 1970s versions.
Both kinds of flowers have
benefits and drawbacks, which
can make the decision harder
For example, real flowers have
a fragrance that silk flowers do
nut have Silk flowers last for-
ever in near-perfect condition
while real flowers wilt and usu-
ally die within a week after the
big day
Another key factor for
many brides is their budget. In
an interview for www,buz2te.
Com. Paul Ajao, a UK-based flo-
rist, said Hie idea that silk flow-
ers are less expensive than the
savins tuiy mc ney by going the
silk flower route. m^^
When it comet to the '
t> rent typw of flower*, trw .
lection of nontraditlonul
ers will vary with the
Hnu'ewr, all kinds <<t
are becoming more ace ess I
than ever because they can
shipped to and from anywhere
in the world year-round.
Jenny Yankey, store manag
er of Acme Gifts, said the store
can order almost any flower
from its wholesaler in Kansas
City. Acme does not make ac-
tual wedding day bouquets, but
their employees do make sam-
ple bouquets and will make
large arrangements for either
the reception table or the aclu-
al wedding. They also can or
der flowers in bulk if brides do
■Eh about what kind
^^^^^Hney
V»n key >;nd the store bus
^HRered doing weddings
P!T said it would need more re-
sources to make it work
"We've thought about it 1
think if we had more employ-
ees, and if we had maybe a big-
ger space, we might do that,"
id. "We just don 'l have
igh people We can do Val-
Day, so if we can do
can do anything, but
that's 20 people here at a time."
Y'ankey also said there are
some benefits to using real flow-
ers
"They're prettier, and it's
just so much more of an impres
si on," Yankey said "Yeah, you
can keep fake flowers, but you
can always dry the real flow-
ers'*
Ron Sludebaker, general
manager of Hobby Lobby, said
brides might choose artificial
flowers because they won't will
al the worst possible moment,
and they can be reused after the
wedding.
"Our sales have increased,
and as you've seen, the quality
of the artificial flowers has gut-
ten much belter over the years,"
he said
"We carry everything that
our warehouse has available, but
if anybody needs a larger quan-
tity of what we do carry, we can
certainly order them and have
ill em in within a week," Slude-
baker said "We have a basic
amount of each particular vari-
ety that we carry"
|an Miller, owner of Steve's
Floral, said the shop does flow-
ers for about 2-3 weddings per
weekend between early spring
to late fall Employees have in-
corporated faux flowers in their
floral options since her broth-
er first opened the store, bul 99
percent of the weddings still use
fresh flowers
"I'm absolutely a fresh
flower fan," Miller said. "If they
ask me the difference, 1 would
say I would always choose fresh
over artificial because the artifi
eial is made of the same mate-
rial the dresses are, and in that
case, they tend to not photo
graph as well"
Miller also said the impres
sion of artificial flowers is not
comparable to fresh flowers
There's nothing better than a
fresh beautiful flower. You just
can't capture that," she said
Mitt B'nter | COLLEGIAN
Artificial flowers are much more detailed and look more realistic now
than they used to.
Love started on playground leads to engagement almost 1 5 years later
Mitt Bintei 1 I 01. [ hi. I AS
By Brandon Steinert
KANSAS STATS ( OLLKilAN
I pushed her on the swing
set, chased her in games of lag
and asked her to marry me ,
in first grade
At that time she ran
away screaming, but it seems
I was right all along as she
said "yes" lo the same ques
tion un January 16.
After finishing first gr.uie
in Holyrood, Kan , my fami-
ly moved a whopping seven
miles away to Claflin. Kan
1 didn't see her again until 1
was 16 years old and starting
my first job as a grocery slore
clerk back in good O) Holy
rood
Leann had been work-
ing there for a while when
I started and already knew
the ropes pretty well, bul I
didn't. I remember a specif-
ic moment when I knocked
a whole slack of Jell-O boxes
off a shelf and marked about
50 items the same price be
cause I was too absent- mind
ed to change the stamp num-
bers in the pricing gun Ap-
parently it was "adorable"
I started getting hints she
was interested a few months
after working together When
prom time rolled around, I
was trapped into going with
her 1 had the lime ot my life
at a dance and an after-prom
party - two events 1 didn't ini-
tially have a desire to attend.
Thai's when 1 knew there was
something there
At her school's prom
there was a points system to
win prizes, t won a ton of
points and decided I didn't
need anything So, natural-
ly, I gave them lo her so she
could get something better
She picked out a $20 gift cer-
tificate and gave it to me, I
used it to take us on our first
date, after which I asked her
lo be my girlfriend.
My first visit with her
dad lasted nearly two and a
half hours. 1 spoke with him
about everything from foot-
ball to (onner presidents and
the invention of the light
bulb.
After the awkwardness
was gone, we started really
enjoying each other's com-
pany, returning from mov-
ie dates to lay on the back of
my car and stare al the sky
It sounds corny but we had
some great conversations
during those times.
By the time we
were ready to graduate
high school, we were al-
ready too close to try a
longdistance relation-
ship, so we agreed to find a
school together and it didn't
take us too many trips to fig-
ure out we wanted to go to K-
State. I started out in journal-
ism and she started in kinesi-
ology After nearly three years
she changed her major three
limes, ending up in horticul-
ture I'm still in journalism
HOW'DIASKHER?
One of our favorite pas-
times is just watching mov-
ies. So, I started taking off her
promise ring to fiddle with
it every evening we were to-
gether. One night, when I was
sure she was used to my hab-
it, I took off the promise ring
and replaced it with the en-
gagement ring while she was
looking me in the eye. When
she finally saw il she literal
ly gasped, then I popped the
question.
Apparently she likes me
a lot more now than in first
grade - she didn't run away
screaming
Our engagement is go-
ing to be long compared to
most. We want to wait until
after graduation for a variety
of reasons, and that might or
might not happen before June
2009, which is what we're
hoping for

Eloping becoming more popular wedding option
By Carly Hannon
KANSAS STATE COLLEGIAN
Eloping was once a way
fur couples to get married
whu were thought to be too
young or who were trying to
avoid their parents' disap-
proval. Today, when couples
elope, it's usually for fun or
h because they lack the funds
jecessary for a traditional
^wedding
32 Because eloping is more
Jjidoly accepted today, cou-
pes said they are finding it to
ij? a great way to tie the knot
Without many of the hassles
CJJal come with wedding plan-
ing and spending big.
Two years ago. Dale
Murphy, freshman in com-
rputer science, and his fian-
' cee decided to have a simple
jjaurlhouse wedding The en-
Hire guest list included a judge
and some close friends as wit-
nesses. Murphy said the cou-
ple exchanged vows and rings
and went out for a nice din
ner and drinks with their
friends after the wedding.
"Why spend all that mon-
ey on one day, fust to tell my
wife that I love her?" Murphy
said
Though having children
and not wanting to spend
much money played impor-
tant roles in the couple's
choice of a courthouse cere-
mony, Murphy said the idea
of a customary wedding just
didn't suit them.
"We're both not into tra-
ditional," he said. "We would
have liked to have been able
to run away to Memphis or
Las Vegas and not told any
one - just been able to run
away"
Maxine Ross, Riley
County District Court clerk,
said courthouse weddings are
common in Manhattan be-
cause of the high volume of
military personnel and college
students She said the process
for a courthouse wedding is
simple and inexpensive.
A couple must first ob-
tain a state wedding license
Both the bride and groom,
who must be at least 18 years
i ontress shall make no
law respecting an
establishment of religion,
or prohibiting the free
exercise thereof; or
abridging the freedom of
speech, or of the press; or
the right of the people
peaceably to assemble,
and la petition the
(•ovemment for a redress
of grievances.

of age, apply for the license in
the district county clerk's of-
fice.
Both applicants must pro-
vide their full name, date of
birth, and either a social se-
curity card or driver's license
There is a three-day wait pe-
riod, after which time the ap-
plicants can then return to
the district county clerk's of
fice to pick up their license.
The fee for a license is
$50 Once the marriage li-
cense is obtained, it is valid
for up to six months, so cou-
ples can have their ceremony
performed anywhere in the
state of Kansas, Ross said
"We have a lot of indi-
viduals that come in to do [a
courthouse wedding]," Ross
said "Once they have their
license, they're given a list
of three judges that can per-
form their civil ceremony. Af-
ter they pick which judge they
want, they are referred to the
judge's office to schedule their
wedding."
Ross said Valentine's Day
and Feb. 29 have been pop-
ular days for couples to get
married at the courthouse
this year.
Employees of wedding
boutiques in Manhattan
said they have seen elope
ments rise in popularity Mel-
anie Gruber. Celebrations of
the Heart manager, said she
has helped many brides who
needed a dress quickly
"We have quite a bit of
couples that plan on getting
married at the courthouse,"
she said. "Some also go to
Las Vegas, but most of them
just do a simple wedding at
the courthouse ."
Gruber said most brides
who are planning to elope
choose simpler styles of wed -
ding gowns without long
trains and extravagant cm-
broidery.
"Typically it takes a man
ufacturer about 12 weeks to
make a dress; some compa
nies can do it in three weeks,"
she said "But girls who are
planning to do a courthouse
wedding or something similar
just buy a dress off the rack "

Honeymoons a necessity after planning strife, wedding
ByEliseNimtz
KANSAS STATE COLLEGIAN
A honeymoon, no matter
where the destination, can pro-
vide a reprieve for newlyweds.
after emptying pockets and
wrangling relatives for wedding
planning.
Emily Smith, 2007 grad-
uate in secondary education,
said that after talking to other
couples, she couldn't wait to go
to Jamaica with her husband.
"We wanted to get away
and not see everybody," Smith
said. "We heard a lot of good
things about |amaica - number
one, the warm weather, num-
ber two. you go to the beach
and you don't do anything It
was great."
Smith and her husband.
Nick, were married in Octo-
ber and wailed until January to
take their honeymoon . She sa i d
they considered a cold -we at her
destination like Colorado to go
skiing, but they chose a Sandals
resort, Grande Ocho Rios, for
its all-inclusive package.
Roni Deeds, travel agent at
AAA in Manhattan, said warm-
weather destinations are more
popular with just -married cou-
ples, even though weddings
happen all year.
"We rarely sec cold-weath-
er destinations for honey-
moons," Deeds said "I think
maybe the reason for that is be-
cause a Caribbean vacation is
less expensive than an Alaskan
vacation. There's not a whole
lot of extra money - after a
wedding - to do a more expen-
sive vacation like that."
Tara Marsh, travel agent at
|ade Travel in Manhattan, said
trips to the Caribbean and Mex-
ico are most popular from Sep-
tember to November, and Alas-
kan cruises only run from the
end of May through August.
"It's just a lot cooler there
in the summer," Marsh said.
"The majority of the packages
are cruises or cruise tours with
a land tour in areas of Alaska "
Marsh said Jade Trav-
el works with companies that
provide package trips, or the
agency also can build a package
for clients. She said this time of
year is the busiest for booking,
and couples have been schedul
ing consistently since the Man-
hattan bridal fair in January.
Smith said one drawback
to taking a ski trip for a honey-
moon was not having a pack-
age deal
"In the mountains you have
to pay for every little thing," she
said. "The beach was most-
ly all-inclusive, but there were
hidden costs like tipping all the
time to get good service."
Like fade Travel, AAA also
offers personalized service for
customers. Deeds said talking
to couples is the best way to de-
termine a vacation that is right
for them.
"We save them time and
money by being able to com-
pare all their options," Deeds
said. "If there's something you
have a special interest in, we
can make that work"
Deeds said the most pop-
ular international travel op-
tion after the Caribbean and
Mexico is Europe. She said
travelers should avoid the
summer months because there
are more tourists and it is hot-
ter
"When (people] go to Eu
rope, they don't go to one city
and stay; they're usually trav-
eling around during the week
or two weeks they've got to
spend," Deeds said. "I think
you get the better value for
your money and good weather
if you can go in April or May
or the fall months."

EARMARKS | Boyda, Moore reveal
earmark requests on Web sites
Continued from Pag« 1
additional funds from in-
dustry partners, cooperative
grants and private contribu-
tors, all of which already con-
tribute much lo the BRI.
"The value it's provided
us has been wonderful," Rusk
said
Peterson said K-State
has to accept whatever fund-
ing it receives from Congress
and possibly look for fund-
ing somewhere else. Accord-
ing lo Buyda's and Rep. Den-
nis Moore's Web site, K State
requested almost $28 million
in funding, almost twice the
amount Peterson projected K-
Slate received. This does not
include earmarks from Reps.
|erry Moran and Todd Tiah-
rt, and Sens Pal Roberts and
Sam Brownback, who are
both K-Stale alumni
Boyda said the incongru-
ity of earmarks is because of
a lack of transparency. Ear-
marks are nol monitored and
are usually added to bills that
are guaranteed to pass.
Hnyda said this allows
legislators to withhold rea-
sons fur questionable ear-
marks from their constituents
and other members of Con-
gress.
"They don't want to take
all the questions and criti-
cisms that come," she said.
"And my view is if you can't
stand the heat, get out of the
kitchen"
Boyda said the easiest so-
lution to a lack of transparen-
cy is forcing all members of
Congress lo post every ear-
mark they introduce, not just
(he ones that pass
Boyda said she was
called a maverick two years
ago when she announced
she would post earmark re-
quests online, bul fellow Kan-
sas Democratic representative
Dennis Moore, as well as oth-
er legislators, soon followed
suit.
"The crazy thing is four
members of Congress in Kan-
sas, two in the House and two
in the Senate, still haven't,"
she said.
Since Democrats took
control of Congress in 2006,
Boyda said earmarks have
gone down one-third from the
previous Congress. But ac-
cording to Taxpayers for Com-
mon Sense, a federal budget
watchdog organization, more
than $18 billion worth of ear-
marks were approved in Con
gressional bills last year
This amount is still too
high, according to most Con
gress members and many US
citizens Some legislators, in-
cluding probable Republican
presidential candidate Sen
John McCain, have vowed to
not introduce any earmarks.
Boyda said this number
HOW THEY ARE
INTRODUCED?
Members of Congress request
that earmarks be placed In
particular bills, The language
used Is often written by lob-
byists who have been hired
to obtain the federal funding
for a project from a particular
legislator. Earmarks are often
slipped into conference com-
mittee reports after the differ-
ing bills have passed one of
the two legislative chambers.
WHY THEY ARE
IMPORTANT?
They provide a way for mem-
bers of Congress to secure
funds for important projects
that they may have better
knowledge about than others
from outside of their district.
They can also help a member
bring jobs to their district.
Earmarks also help members
get re-elected

SELLERS | Player of the year

Continued from Pig* 6
it's there I'm physically in
shape, and I know I'm ready
to jump that high if 1 can put
it all together"
Sellers said he will wait
to enjoy the award because
he is focused on the NCAA
Championships, which are
March 14 and 15 in Fay-
etteville. Ark There, he will
look to improve his jumps
and compete for a national
championship.
Winning a performer of
the year award shows Sell-
ers can perform on a big
stage, like the NCAA Cham-
pionships, his coach said.
"One, it confirms that he
is very good and two. it con-
firms that when the lights
come on he performs at a
high level," Rovelto said.
Before Sellers* pair of
awards, the last Wildcat to
be crowned performer of
the year was Austra Skujyte,
who won the award in the
2002 outdoor season for her
performance in the heptath-
lon.
should be reduced, but not
eliminated, by revealing alt
earmarks to the public and
letting constituents decide if
they want their money to go

poem.
K-Stale student, lo Mer-
rilicld, was one of the many
people who came to the
event Merrifield, a senior in

tially came to the event be-
cause of a class assignment,
but gained a tut and admired
Chrystos' ability and ambi-
tion to discuss different is
sues in an open manner, she
said.
"It's actually kind of re-
freshing," she mentioned.
"She is able to discuss words
openly and she's not afraid
of anything! definitely like
that"
K-State professor, Lisa
Tatonetti, was the coordina-
tor of the event and wanted
to bring Chrystos because
of I he impact on society her
work has made and how
her work coincides with the
programing of the confer-
ence, she said
The conference entitled
"Extremism and Excluded
Middle," March 6-B includes
the binaries that are hap-
pening in the United States
such as politics, religion and
gender, she said.
Tatonetti, professor in
the English and American
Ethnic Studies, said Chrys
tos is seen often as being an-
gry in the way her work as
a poet. Tatonetti uses Chyr-
slos' poetry in her class-
es because it has a great in-
fluence on her studentvshe
noted.
She also stressed the im-
portance of having someone
like Chrystos who speaks
openly about politics and
critiques it in an way that re
tales to the academia world.
"We need that in Kan-
sas." Tatonetti said. "I think
that we live in a bit of a scary
age where we're fresh in the
patriot act and free speech is
in danger"

Show stopping
K-State greeks, dance groups
perform at MHS 'Unit/show
By Yvonne Ramirei
KANSAS STATE COLLEGIAN
In the grand finale, lights and
smoke attracted the audience's at-
tention to the entrance of the audi
torium as Manhattan High School's
step team started its performance.
A celebration of dance and step
brought members of the communi-
ty together through VI MS ;>tid Black
Student Union's "Unity in the Com-
munity" event Friday night at the
MHS West Campus
The Fort Riley dance group
Girls With a Future opened with a
tribute to US soldiers
The women of Delta Sigma
Theta and Alpha Kappa Alpha fol-
lowed, incorporating stepping into
skits that put emphasis on the his-
torical background of the sorori-
ties.
"Having the greeks from It-
State participate gives the show
more 'umph'," said Jasmine Cook,
president of MHS's BSU and cap-
tain of the step team at MHS Alpha
Phi Alpha members showed their
support with a step-routine perfor-
mance and an imitation of a scene
from "You Got Served" to hype up
the audience.
Rap group High Poynt Stu-
dios changed the event's vibe They
came from (unction City to support
the show's "Unity in the Communi-
ty" theme
After a 10-minute intermission,
the show continued as host Ran-
dy Myles paid a tribute to all those
who helped make the show possi-
ble, including many of K Slate's
greeks
"Without the greeks, there
would be no step show," Myles
said.
Manhattan High School's BSU
finished with a performance in their
red letter jackets as members intro-
duced themselves in a step routine
The skit turned into a rival male
versus female performance and fin-

KANSAS STATE* OlTFtilAN
Because many K-State stu-
dents will be gone during Spring
Break, a collection of bars chose
to celebrate St. Patrick's Day a
week early.
Some "Fake St. Putty's
Day" partiers took advantage of
the morning, lining up as early
as 8;30 on Saturday, just to be
the first in the bars to order their
drinks. So Long Saloon even of-
fered breakfast for hungry par
tiers
At times, it became dif-
ficult to tell whether the Ag-
gieville patrons were more ex-
cited about the green beer they
were drinking or the cartloads
of multi-colored beads that
were being tossed out.
While most people go out
to Aggieville, it is after the sun
has gone down and it is socially
acceptable to be drinking. The
darkness of night makes it dif-
ficult to be safely aware of sur-
roundings and safety
Carly Wagner, senior in ed
ueation and modem languag-
es, said she liked "Fake Pat-
ty's Day" for thai very reason, it
was easier to see the drunks and
what they were doing
"I think the drunk people
during the day are funnier than
drunk people at night because
they do funny things like sing
in the street, yell at people and
dance," Wagner said
As the day wore on and Ag-
gieville -goers consumed more
drinks, the early risers began to
lose steam and regurgitate more
than a bit of the alcohol they
were so eager to consume.
"1 love St Patty's Day," said
one inebriated woman who de-
scribed herself only as a "happy
drinker."
There were many who end-
ed up like this, stumbling around
attempting to find the rest of
their party and to get back into
the bars.
"Everyone was drunk, but
everyone was in a really good
mood," said Anna Lewis, (unior
in electronic journalism and
waitress at So Long Saloon
.Man arrested for battery, aggravated burglary after breaking into ex's home
By Sarah Burford
KANSAS STATE OOUJM .IAN
A man was arrested and
confined for aggravated bur-
glary and battery after alleg-
edly breaking into his ex girl-
friend's house and taking her
dog at about 2 a.m. Friday,
according to a police report.
Scott Edgar Backman,
39, of Walerville, Kan., was
arrested after breaking into
the residence of the victim,
23.
According to the re
port, Backman approached
the victim's residence, 302
S. Main St., and demanded
entry. Backman thought the
victim was with another per-
son in the residence, accord-
ing to the report, but she said
she was not.
The victim did not open
the door, so Backman went
to the back door of the res-
idence and tried to force it
open, but was unsuccessful.
He then returned to the front
of the house and opened the
front door, which was un-
locked, according to the re-
port
Backman entered the
victim's residence, ripped the
victim's shirt off, and took
her 3-year-old female pug af-
ter she had called the police
He left the residence before
police arrived. Police found
and arrested Backman at
about 3:45 a.m. that day, ac
cording to the report
No injuries were report-
ed The damages amounted
to $500, including $200 for
the theft of the dog and the
$300 worth of damage to the
back door and frame, accord-
ing to the report Back man's
bond was set at $2,000
Wheelchair team competes
against K-State athletes
By Eric Davis
KANSAS STATE COLLEGIAN
The Kansas Wheelhawks, a
wheelchair basketball team based
in Topeka. visited the Peters Rec-
reation Complex to raise aware-
ness for disabled athletes Saturday
afternoon.
The wheelchair basketball
game was the final event in "K-
State for All" disability awareness
week March 2-8.
Ray Petty, a 58-year-old who
has been with the team for about
16 years, led the Wheelhawks He
said playing wheelchair basketball
for new people who might come
out and try it is his favorite aspect
of their public events
"Somebody knows some-
body's cousin who might give it a
try," Petty said. "That's the kind of
things that happen."
Another player, Josh Rouff, a
13 -year -old, said he likes to show
people the difficulty involved in
wheelchair sports.
Petty said it is important to get
younger players interested to orga-
nize a junior Wheelhawks team.
The Wheelhawks only brought
six players (o the game but have
more than 10 players on the team
The camaraderie and friend-
ship of the teammates is what
draws many of the first -time play-
ers back to the team, said larvis

Chef gives students insight on different flavors, meats of Latin food
By Rtb«cu Perez
KANSAS STATE COLLEGIAN
When people think about
Latin food, they often think
about spicy, Mexican food, but
there are more flavors and re-
gions included, said chef Taji
Mane
Marie, who has worked
with Food Network personal-
ity Rachael Ray, was the chef
and lecturer for the fourth
annual Department of Hotel,
Restaurant, Institutional Man-
agement and Dietetics culinary
enhancement student work-
shop that took place Friday
_ -Marie covered cuisine
from Mexico, Cuba, Jamaica,
Argentina, Brazil and Chile.
AUTHENTIC
MEXICAN COOKING
Marie said Americans ol-
ten think Mexican food is ac-
tually Tex M ex. She said beans
and corn were the staples of
Mexican cooking, and pork
and chicken are the main meat
sources in Mexico, not beef,
which is what is usually found
in Tex-Mex.
Marie also said Mexico
has many different regions,
and each region has its own
recipes and way of cooking
dishes The one constant in
Mexico is the use of spices.
She introduced the stu-
dents to the different types of
chiles. She described their heat
and flavor and then explained
how to work with dried chil-
es.
Once the audience knew
how to work with dried chil-
es, she gave a demonstration
making as nac ho -chili paste
that was used to make a red
enchilada sauce and a red
mule sauce. The audience was
given samples of the chicken
mole\ which led to a comment
from a student about the lack
of cheese in the Mexican dish-
es
Marie said tradition-
al Mexican food does not use
much cheese Cheese is more
of a garnish than a staple of
the dish. What most people
think of as enchiladas is more
like a quesadilla, she said
DIVERSIFIED FLAVORS
OF THE CARIBBEAN
After a short break, Marie
introduced Caribbean food
She started with a brief
geography lesson of the Carib-
bean that focused on Cuba, Ja-
maica. Haiti, the Dominican
Republic and Puerto Rico. She
explained there are almost a
thousand islands in the Carib-
bean, but these were the main
countries. She chose to focus
on Cuba and Jamaica for her
demonstrations.
She explained the foods
in the Caribbean were in-
fluenced by Spaniards, Afri-
cans, Chinese and the indige-
nous populations Many of the
staples of the Caribbean tike
taro root, plantains and yuc-
ca came from the African pea
pie who were brought over
to work the sugar cane plan-
tations The Europeans intro-
duced sugarcane The Chinese
who came over to the islands
brought with them ginger, co-
conut milk and turmeric
Seafood, chicken and goat
are the primary meat sources
in the islands, but pork is be-
coming more common, Marie
said She also said that what is
eaten is dictated by what is im-
ported
She made a Cuban black
bean soup and Jamaican jerk
ed porkloin. The scent from
the jerked pork as it was grilled
wafted over the crowd Lucki-
ly for the audience, it was time
for lunch
Shaakira Grant, senior in
hotel and restaurant manage
ment. was born in Trinidad, so
she was familiar with Caribbe-
an cuisine Grant's constant
refrain while working on the
different items was. "It needs
more salt"
The Derby Dining facil-
ity recreated Marie's recipes.
They made her roasted toma-
to salsa, simple red enchiladas
with com and zucchini, tama-

OPINION
KANSAS STATE COLLEGIAN
Stepping lightly
'Going green' can be expensive;
walking, recycling more effective
AUBREE
CASPER
Kermit the Frog said it best; "It ain't easy
bein' green."
While it would make sense to simplify
our lives in an effort to end
global warming, the tech-
nologies required to tackle
our growing global quanda-
ry only further complicate
our daily routines
For this reason, "going
green" - in terms of adapt
ing to concepts like biofu-
els. installing solar panels
and driving hybrid cars - is
-imply impractical for col-
lege students. According
lo the Green Options Web
site, college students active-
ly are taking on their roles as environmental-
ly proactive members of society The site lists
walking, eating organic and local foods, re-
cycling and reusing goods, and purchasing or
even making cleaning products as ways stu
dents are contributing to a healthier environ-
ment. And yes, selling your old studio table
on Facebook.com counts All these options
can be done for anywhere from no cost up lo
about $10, whereas the average hybrid car can
set you back about a cool $20,000
The Union of Concerned Scientists share
on its Web site that there are 10 steps to com-
bating global warming. They include buying
Energy Star appliances (a modest refrigera-
tor will cost about $1,000 at Lowe's), mak-
ing your next car a hybrid, purchasing "good
wood" and lobbying state legislators to alert
them of the effects of global warming
Few people - namely college students -
can afford to replace all their vehicles and ap-
pliances, but scientists and government offi-
cials present few other options. They make
these seem so do or- die that people are caught
in a catch 22 between their pocketbooks and
making a small impact on our environment,
Mitch Stimers. graduate student in geog-
raphy, said a future with global warming is
real, and already, the average amounts of pre-

"The intensity at which precipitation
events occur is likely to increase, which will
increase human vulnerability to flood events
Other [effects] would include adverse effects
on crop production, and the loss of coastal
land due to sea-level rise,"
he said.
This winter's above-
average snowfall should
ring a bell, but the
problem is countering
these negative effects
If profession-
als aren't sure of the
best way lo address en-
vironmental threats,
what is the common
man supposed to do?
And why are we rushing
into a schizophrenia of so-
lutions?
Biofuels will create a
dangerous competition be-
tween using crops as food or
fuel Various methods of power
like geothermal and nuclear mere-
ly create new hazards for our world.
Taxing people based on their collective
energy consumption is a piece of legislation
that easily could be fought over in Congress
for the next five years
Researchers, inventors and legislators
are taking the fire fighting approach to stop-
ping global warming. The proposed solutions
only postpone damage when they need to be
completely eliminated from our world What
happens when we run out of space to plant
enough corn for ethanoP Our best be I is to
cap the effects on global warming.
"The best thing government and industry
can do right now is continue to look for so-
lutions that will reduce the amount of carbon
dioxide being placed in the atmosphere while
minimizing the effect on national and global
economics," Stimers said.
Economically, he is referring to the cred
its - or Ihe allotted amounts of carbon emis-
sions for international businesses often trad-
ed and sold between markets - that organiza
tions like the United Nations use to regulate
worldwide emissions in hopes of reducing the
greenhouse effect.
"The US still hasn't signed the Kyo-
to Protocol, which will make it impossible for
U S -based companies to become certified by
the United Nations to trade carbon credits on
the global market." Stimers said
Global warming is an earth issue, not
justanAmer p. toiXEClAN
ican one, and ■*" w
we should be
playing nicely
with the oth-
er countries
The best so-
lution for 2008 is proactivity
The average person is simply afraid of
complex changes they will never truly un-
derstand Subtle changes to our daily habits
and lifestyles are the best and most measur-
able changes They can do more good and will
make people feel better about Iheir "environ-
mental footprint "
One is more likely to find gratification in
taking shorter showers and walking to campus
every few days instead of opening a dryer with
an Energy Star slicker on it
These ideas are easier and more effective.

Schools focus more on tests than retaining quality teachers
BLAKE
OSBORN
Elementary-school stu-
dents are being paid for how
well they do on standardized
tests, ac-
cording
to an arti-
cle in The
New York
Times on
Wednesday,
The har-
binger of
this move-
ment is in
New York
City's pub-
lic school
system, the
largest system in the nation, in
which more man 200 schools
are experimenting with this
concept
The idea is lo provide an
incentive for students to excel
on standardized tests, there-
by improving the overall test
scores uf the schools. Even
teachers get a bonus if their
students perform well.
According to the Times
article, Roland G. Fryer, the
Harvard economist who cre-
ated the program, said he is
aware it is not the panacea for
education, but it is worth a try
I'm not saying 1 know
this is going to fix everything."
Fryer said in the article, "but
I am saying its worth trying.
What we need to try to do is
start that spark"
This money keeps chil-
dren off the street and in the
classroom If the students
show significant improvement
on state tests at Public School
188, the teachers will receive a
$3,000 bonus, according to the
article.
"We're in competition
with Ihe streets." said Virgin-
ia Connelly, principal o( Junior
High School 123, in the Times
article. "They can go out there
and make $50 illegally any
day of the week We have to
do something to compete with
that."
As great as this incen
tive of paying children for their
performance on tests might
be, there is a problem with
all these standardized tests
schools are making children
take
Education is supposed to
make Ihe world personal That
is what teachers do - they
make education personal, and
they bring it to life. But late-
ly, teachers have been hard lo
keep around.
According to a recent arti-
cle in Time magazine, between
one-fourth and one- third of
new teachers quit within the
first three years on the job.
Teachers are becoming im-
patient with the bureaucratic
1 angle that is producing poor
pay for a noble profession
Thomas Carroll, president
of the National Commission
on Teaching and America's
Future, said hiring new teach-
ers is "like filling a bucket with
a huge hole in the bottom," ac-
cording to the "nine magazine
article Many teachers are tired
of living from paycheck to pay-
check
Inadequate salanes is one
reason good teachers are diffi-
cult to find. Teaching, as Time
put it, is "a profession known
for low pay |and| low status"
in a "soul -crushing bureaucra-
cy" Nevertheless, research sug-
gests that a good teacher is vi-
tal, more important 'than class
size, the dollars spent per stu
dent or tin- quality of text-
books and materials"
Today, we are too caught
up in the means of educating
today's youth. With our stan-
dardized tests, we are forget
ting the purpose of education:
not to teach children how to
earn a living but how to crc
ate a life. Better tests are not
going to
make chil-
dren smart-
er, Instead, it
is teachers' ef
forts that will
save stu
dents from
failing.
Social crit-
ic Neil Postman, in
his book "The End of Ed-
ucation." wrote. "Public educa-
tion does not serve the public.
It creates a public." Teachers
are a primary part in that ere
alion, not tests.
Instead of being worried
about numbers on test scores
meeting national standards for
acts like No Child Left Behind
or focusing on the means be
hind education, we need to fo-
Osristina Forrterg
lOMKGtAN
tus more on keeping teachers
around to teach and inspire
students
They are one of the sig-
nificant forces (or purpose in
students' lives, and though it
would require serious revision
of many methods, the teaching
profession is due for significant
improvement.

Bands entertain 'Harry Potter' fans
with wizard rock, quirky humor
By Amanda Ktim
KANSAS STATE (.OLLHUAN
An unusual parade of witch-
es, wizards, niugglcs and wizard
rock greeted individuals who
entered (he K ■ State Student
Union Saturday night.
Children's and Adolescent
Literature Community spon-
sored the Hallows and Hor-
cruxes Ball, a wizard rock con
cert for literacy.
The Union Ballroom was fes-
tooned with streamers and four
tapestries designated to the indi-
vidual Hogwart's houses, where
the "Harry Putter" characters
attended school - H for Huf-
flepuff. G for Gryffindor, R for
Ravenclaw and S for Slytherin
Rachel Parkin, co-president
of ChALC, said there were
more than 200 individuals in
attendance Saturday night. Stu-
dents adorned in wizard dress
robes and even Voldemort, Pot
ter's antagonist, showed up for
the occasion.
As female duet The Moan
ing Myrtles belted out one of
its "bathroom-humor" tunes,
the audience clapped, danced
and participated in a humorous
sway to the music
"I think it's really great," said
Leschia McElhaney. junior in
psychology and anthropology.
"It's better than I expected. A
lot of the bands seem to have a
really quirky sense of humor"
Other bands that performed
included Ginny and The Heart-
breakers, Ministry of Magic, The
Mudbloods. The Parse! mouths
and The Remus Lupins.
MttHMtrJCOLLfiGtAN
Oklahoma wizard band Ginny and The Heart breaker play "I have red
hair" at the Hallows and Horcruxes ball and concert Saturday night in
the K- State Student Union Ballroom
Upon entering, young witch-
es and wizards were given rattle
tickets for book drawings that
took place during the evening.
Several of the books wea' signed
by members of participating
bands The music was what first
inspired ChAl-C members to
have a "Harry Poltcr"-lhemed
event
"When 1 saw lour of the
bands last summer at the Proph-
ecy 2007 Harry Putter' Confer-
ence, 1 thought it would be fun
to bring some of them here and
raise money lor literacy," said
Karin Westman, CliAIX" faculty
adviser. McElhaney and friends
purchased the Ministry of Mag-
ic CD as soon as the band's per-
form ance e on c 1 tided
"I had heard uf them, but
1 hadn't heard their music."
McElhaney said. "|I will prob-
ably follow their career] now
that I've heard them"
ChALC only has been
around for about a year and a
half, and this is the organize
lion's first fund-raising event
of this kind, Westman said All
the proceeds from the concert
will be donated to First Book, a
nonprofit organization provid-
ing disadvantaged children with
new books
"I think that for being a
young organization, we have
a lot of things we do We're
young and active," Parkin said
"CltALC is essentially a literacy
group. We do anything we can
to support literature, especially
using children's books."

the top-three winners in each
category.
"This is a great forum
for students to present their
research in a professional and
respectable way," |urand said
"It's also helpful to get feed
back from the judges' rubrics
fur future reference"
liiriii ui. graduate student

from her dissertation research
project Her study was titled
"Summer writing camp in-

eral rooms of poster displays
and oral presentations, as well
as refreshments for guests The

WOMEN'S TENNIS
Team falls
to No. 46
Lobos
6y Ty ic i Sharp
KANSAS STATE COLLEGIAN
Coach Steve Bietau was
not pleased with the outcome
of Saturday's tennis match
against No.
46 New Mex-
ico.
"I just
don't think
we played
very well,"
he said "I'm
not sure if I
was hoping
or expect-
ing any dif-
ferences from the KU match,
but if anything, it turned out
to be more of the same"
The No. 67 K-State ten
nis team fell to the Lobos,
5-2, on Saturday at Ahearn
Field House. The loss extend-
ed the Wildcats losing streak
to five matches, and contin-
ued the free fall that has tak-
en place since K State's best
start since 1989, now below
a .500 winning percentage
Once again, K- Slate was
in competition for the dou-
bles point until the end
In the No 3 doubles
match, Maria Solirchos and
Mackenzie White defeated
sophomore Natasha Vieira
and freshman Vanessa Cot-
tin, 8-3
K State countered with
senior Vivians Yrarela and
freshman Antea Huljev'i 9-7
win over Victoria Tessmar
and |ennifer Ryba. The win
pushed Yrureta and Huljev's
record to 8-7 this spring
The doubles point came
down to the No 1 singles
match, junior Katerina Kud
lackova and senior Olga KM
mova went to extra points
against Lucy Scott and San-
dra Zmak, before the Lobos'
duo pulled out the win, 9-8
(7-2).
In singles play, Huljcv
and Yrureta provided the
Wildcats' only wins. Yrureta
topped Ola Abu-Zekry, 6-1,
0-6. 6 2.
The win pushed her re-
cord to 119 this season, and
5-3 at the No I spot in the
Spring. Huljev beat White,
6-3, 0-6, 6 4; and pushed her
to 6-3 for the spring season
Yrureta said she was pleased
with her performances in
doubles and singles play
"Those were tough ones,"
she said "In doubles, we
were down, and we were able
to pull it out, it was a good
win. In singles, it was anoth-
er tough match. [Abu-Zekry |
was a good player. 1 played
against her last year and lost,
so 1 was glad I won "
The Lobos won the re-
mainder of the singles match-
es. Zmak topped Kudlacko-
va, 6-1,7-6(3)
Emma Hayman defeated
Cottin, 6 2, 6 4 Ryba bested
Vieira, 6 4, 6 3, and Tessmar
won over Klimova, 2-6, 6-2,
6-2
Bietau said he though!
the team did nut play much
to its strengths
"Definitely at No 1 dou-
bles, definitely not at No 3
doubles too - in singles, il
was about one-third of the
line-up," he said
Pauline Guemas was a
notable absence in the line-
up
The freshman from St.
Fort, France, had recent-
ly teamed with Cottin at the
No. 3 doubles position, and
the duo had posted a 4-6 re
cord
Instead, Guemas was
benched and Vieira teamed
with Cottin
Bietau said it was the re
suit of Guemas' "poor prac-
ticing this week "
Yrureta look the loss in
stride.
"I think we played our
first matches pretty good this
year," she said "[New Mcx
icoj is a tittle tougher, and
we are playing a little harder
teams now. 1 think we're do-
ing good, but we're not quite
there yet
"Our doubles are pret
ty good; we nearly won the
doubles point today and did
against KU. Singles is also
going pretty good"
The Wildcats will trav-
el to Missouri on Friday and
Colorado on March 16.

K-State overcomes 2nd-half run to get 10th conference win
Coach Frank Martin yells out a play during the
Wildcats" 7 3 69 victory over Iowa State on Saturday
in Ames. Iowa
By Wendy Haun
KANSAS MAI I i lUIHilAN
AMES, Iowa - Relief was on Frank Mar-
tin's face and in his words following the 73-69
victory over Iowa Stale on Saturday.
"Last year, we went into the Big 12 Tourna-
ment with unbelievable pressure to win to ex-
tend our season," Martin said. "We're not going
in there with that kind of pressure this year We
can go in there, relax, enjoy it and compete our
hearts out to be in the Sunday |chanipiunship]
game"
K-Slate (20 10. 10-6 Big 12 Conference)
clinched the No. 3 seed in the Big 12 Tourna-
ment - and possibly an NCAA Tournament
bid - with Saturday's win K-State senior guard
Gent Stewart knocked down a three to start the
game, and K- State led by 14 later on. With K-
State only having a 2-5 Big 12 road record. Mar-
tin said his team was cautious.
"I think it's because some of the lack of suc-
cess on the road in the last munth," he said "I
think we became a little tentative, both on of
fense and defense Wc had breakdowns that
weren't physical mistakes but mental mistakes"
The Wildcats led by nine at half, but Iowa
Slate (14-17. 4-12 Big 12) never let up on the
Wildcats, getting as close a> three multiple limes
and cutting the lead to two with two seconds
left after senior guard Blake Young fouled fresh-
man guard Diante Garrett in three-point range
before he had a chance to get a shot up.
"That's why seniors are so important on a
basketball team," Martin said. "That means - on
that last possession, we're up two. Bill misses a
free throw - we're in a full-court man |-lo-man
dcfense| We made them cut to their baseline to
catch the ball and to have them dribble the ball
the length of the court takes seven seconds off
the clock."
Garrett hit the first shot and missed the sec-
ond, which freshman forward Michael Beasley
snatched out of mid-air to seal the victory. Beas-
ley was fouled by senior center Jiri Hubalek and
made the two free throws to send the Wildcats
to the all-important 20-win, 10-conference-win
platform
"We're a good team," Martin said. "We're a
battle-tested team. You think about it, you lose
four in a row, a lot of teams, their spirits get bro-
ken. We come back home and figure out a way
to win We go on the road, where we haven't
had a win recently, and figured out hoU to stay
together."
Beasley missed the double-double mark by
one rebound, the first time he has not had one
since the |an 30 game against Kansas. He fin-
ished with 15 points and nine rebounds. The
leading scorer for K-State was freshman guard

Maintain healthy skin during harsh winter months
By Elise Podhajsky
KANSASSIAIftllU.KilAN
There's no escaping a bone
chilling Kansas winter, and there's
no escaping its effect on skin Freez-
ing temperatures, dry air and whip-
ping wind can take a serious toll,
leaving it pasty and cracked, but not
to worry. There are plenty of tricks
and remedies to create and give the
illusion of healthy, glowing skin
STAY SMOOTH
All-around healthy, beautiful
skin always starts with moisture,
said Brenda Williams, nurse manag-
er for Advanced Dermatology She
said because of drier air and lower
humidity in the winter seasons, skin
is prone to become dry and cracked.
Many have furnaces running con-
stantly this lime of year, and Wil-
liams said that can affect skin also.
To slay soft and healthy, she
recommended moisturizing at least
once a day with an unscented mois-
turizer like Cetaphil and cleansing
with a mild, unscented soap like
Dove Unscented
"(Moisturizing] is most effec-
tive when you put it on right when
you get out of the shower," Williams
said This works best because your
.skin wili still be damp"
COLOR ME BRONZE
It's almost impossible to stop
the onsets of pale skin during a win-
ter in the Midwest unless you do it
artificially For those who prefer a
year-round, beachy look, there are
plenty of options.
The three mosl popular ways to
achieve tanned skin during the win
ter are beds, spray-ons and tinted lo-
Williams said moisturizing is
the building block for good-looking
skin and to get the best results when
using a tanning bed, Sara Kauch,
owner of Planet Beach in Manhal-
tan, said moisture is key Hydrated
skin prepares il fur the UV-rays and
helps the tan last longer, she said
When chousing to tan in a bed.
Kauch said customers have two op-
tions - they might use a lay-down
or stand-up bed. Beds typically dif-
fer in UV strength and length.
"The lay down, depending on
what bed you use," she said, "lasts
between 12 and 20 minutes, and
the stand up is actually eight min-
utes The stand-up fully covers you
so you get an all-around coverage
tan and is our mast intense bed"
Rauch said there also are lo-
tions available to maximize the tan-
ning experience. For example, ac-
celerator lotions are applied just be
fore going into the bed to help hy-
drate and prolong the tan, she said.
There also are tingle lotions, which
bring the melanin closer to the sur-
face of the skin for a faster tan.
"It does make you hot and
make you red for about an hour af-
ter you use it," she said, "but it's not
a bum"
One alternative option that still
gives the skin a bronzed tan without
the UV rays is a spray-on. or mist.
tan This tan. Rauch said, lasts about
five to seven days and gives an in-
stant, natural-looking color She
said customers should always ex-
foliate, shave and moisturize before
!i to prolong its glow
The second option is a tinted
lotion Williams said she has seen
patients who have used a tinted lo-
tion, and she said these products are
perfectly safe for the skin The tint
Two options for indoor tanning include lay -down or stand-up beds. The differ-
ences in beds depend on UV strength and length.
ed lotions are moisturizers with an
artificial coloring in them, she said.
This color, however, might wash off
if not regularly applied.
MAKE FT UP
After hydra ting and getting a
tan, the finishing touch for many
women, and occasionally men. is
to apply bronzing makeup Howcv
er, when used too generously, these
bronzers can make the face orange
or a different color from the body.
lb avoid this unsightly situa
turn Karline |orgensen, studio man-
ager of Merle Normal Cosmetics in
Manhattan Town Center Mall, said
to trv mineral powder.
"Mineral powder is some-
thing that works and is really pop
ular right now, because a true min-
eral makeup just has natural ingre-
dients, free of preservatives and fra-
grance," Jorgensen said. "So instead
of having a matte finish, a luminous
powder gives you the natural glow
of how skin would look without any
makeup on it."
Jorgensen said this powder can
be worn from sheer to full coverage
- whatever looks must natural on
you
Another sun -kissed trick is to
apply brunzer, she said, but not
all over the face This is how your
head ends up looking mismatched
to your body. Jorgensen said to pick
a hue closer to your skin tone, start
with light coverage and build the
color to avoid applying too much.
Next, she said to use bronzer only
where the sun naturally hits the face
- forehead, nose, chin and check-
bone,
"It will keep you looking really
fresh," she said.
5EX AND THE CITY: THE LITTLE APPLE
Columnist discusses fixations, history, risks of oral sex
The act of sticking objects
in one's mouth is one many
people enjoy. Throughout life,
we might
have tasted
grass or dirt
and maybe
even tried
a worm or
a couple of
ants. Then
our mo-
ma's voice
echoes
across the
backyard,
"Gel that
out of your mouth, you don't
know where it's been!"
Needless to say, oral sex is
nothing new, and could serve
as some people's adult an-
swer to the urge to put for-
eign objects in their mouths
1 would bet you could look at
any lime period and see that
MATT

couples were experimenting

Guinevere's round table
According to a 2002 study
by the National Center for
Health Statistics. 90.1 percent
of men and 88.3 percent of
women have engaged in het-
erosexual oral sex. The issue
arising in today's society is thai
it seems oral sex has become
the diet plan to keep one's
"true virginity." The conversa-
tion seems lo be: "Are you sex-
ually active?" "Oh! No, I'm on
the sex light diet I only give
blow jobs" "Oh! Well you're
looking fine there with your
herpes!"
Basically, oral sex is sex
We don't call it "oral not sex."
and like other sexual practic-
es, it has inherent risks Many
sexually transmitted infec-
lions that you get in your neth-
er regions can also rear their
ugly heads in your mouth and
throat.
Herpes hits most any-
where in the mouth region,
and along with gonorrhea, can
get in your throat They rep-
resent the two mosl -common
orally transmitted STls. In the
case of herpes, a tradition-
al swab for a sore throat will
nol reveal that a virus is an is-
sue. This is why it is impor-
tant to be open with your doc
tor about your sexual practic-
es Chlamydia, HPV and syph-
ilis also can be shared through
oral sex. Though studies have
been relatively inconclusive, it
is still generally believed that
one has a small chance of con-
tracting HIV through oral sex.
Finally, if you practice nmming
(anal-oral contact) there is risk
of many parasites being trans
ferred, along with hepalitis A
Is there a way to make
oral sex safer'' When look
ing at the wide variety of con-
doms, it is quite obvious that
your vagina or anus are not
able to taste the flavored ones.
Condom companies make fla-
vored condoms for oral-penile
contact.
Think of it as reminis-
cent of a hot summer day with
a cherry popsicle at hand 11 is
important to remember not to
bite or even lei your teeth snag
the "popsicle" as a hole in the
condom kind of defeats the
purpose.
Less common are barri-
ers made for oral-vagina] and
oral -anal contact. Howev-
er, denial dams - small latex
sheets - are available The ba
sic idea is to place the barrier
between your mouth and your
partner's orifice- either a vagi-
na or anus These also come in
a variety of flavors. However,
a few potential issues are price
and size There is a solution -
by cutting down a condom (or
latex glove) you can make a
larger and cheaper dental dam
Also, non-microwavable plas-
tic wrap can be used.
In the end, oral sex,
though fun. can be danger-
ous. Remember that just be-
cause someone's genitals look
healthy doesn't mean they are,
and any sexual activity is in-
herently risky.
Also, remember that you
need lo be ready both physi-
cally and emotionally before
engaging in any sexual activity.

WHEELCHAIR | Topeka team helps
K-State WheelCats to 48-42 win
Continued From Paget
Stirn, team representative and
11 -year veteran of the Wheel-
hawks
Stim said he knew he
would be returning to the
Wheelhawks after his first
practice.
"1 just loved it," Stirn
said. "It was good competition
against other people who were
equal in ability to you, and you
can have fun doing it."
The team that played the
Wheelhawks was made up of
various university "celebrities"
They were dubbed the "Wheel
Cats" and included sever
al players from the volleyball
team and alumnae from the
women's basketball team
|ordy Nelson, former wide
receiver for the K-State foot-
ball team, made his way out
to help raise awareness for the
cause.
He said he had never done
anything like wheelchair bas-
ketball before and that it was
quite difficult.
"(Trie hardest part is]
shooting without any legwork
and not being able to control
your wheelchair," Nelson said.
"You know, you try to turn to
shoot, and your entire wheel-
chair turns."
Though they had a hard
time at it, Nelson and his team-
mates worked hard to compete
with the Wheelhawks but were
not very successful
The game got off to a slow
start with the Wheelhawks
jumping out to a 10-0 lead
in the first 10 minutes of the
game
The WheelCats' first
points came courtesy of Lau-
ren Mathewson, sophomore
in business and libera for the
women's volleyball team, 12
minutes into the game
Mathewson said she didn't
mind missing out on the Pake
Patty's Day celebration Satur-
day and was excited for the in-
teresting experience she was
allowed to have
"1 thought it would be a
cool experience. It is kind of
humbling as well." Mathewson
said. "You get a taste of their
life"
When the final whistle
blew, the WheelCats emerged
victorious beating the Wheel
Hawks 48-42. That was, how-
ever, after the WheelHawks
gave the 'Cats 20 points at the
half.

Lisa Grossman, of Lawrence, Kan., said she began painting mostly Kansas landscapes when she moved to Kansas City, MO,, and discovered the beauty of the Flint
Hills. Many of her paintings are currently displayed in the Strecker- Nelson Gallery on Poynu Ave
Local exhibit shows Kansan's eye for home-state beauty
By Jenna Scavuoo
KANSAS STATE (, OLLEG1AN
Vast skies, vibrant sunsets, majestic moun-
tains and winding river valleys painted in oil
and watercolor adorn the Strecker- Nelson Gal-
lery's walls in its newest exhibit, "Lisa Grossman
Vemissage"
Lisa Grossman, artist and Lawrence resi-
dent, said she typically paints Kansas landscapes,
prairies and hills, though she brought in river val-
ley and mountain paintings from Western states
lor her show, which began Feb. 29 and will end
April 12.
'Even though 1 do landscapes, which are
typically traditional, I tease the line between tra-
ditional and more contemporary and abstract."
Grossman said "My work is accessible to people
with varying tastes."
Grossman said she has painted her entire life
but did not decide she wanted her emphasis to be
on landscapes until she moved to Kansas City,
MO., in 1988. She said she initially moved there
to work for Hallmark but immediately noticed
(he Flint Hills, which inspired her to paint land-
scapes on location.
"1 had never seen prairies before, and they
made such a deep impression on me," Gross-
man said "Discovering the wide space and skies
wanted me to take the 'open air" approach, which
means painting outdoors."
Grossman began her collegiate career al
the Art Institute of Pittsburgh and finished her
schooling at the University of Kansas She said
she went to school for commercial art and paint-
ed a variety of subjects but had always felt con-
nected to landscape and the natural world. She
said her personal growth as an artist lies in the
process of finding her subject.
"Painting landscapes is just my personal way
of saying what 1 have to say about certain plac-
es and figuring out how to express those feelings,"
she said. "Art in general is something I've always
done It's the way 1 express myself most fully - it's
a natural thing"
Grossman said Strecker- Nelson first began
displaying her work around 1998. and she thinks
the gallery is a great place to see a range of local
art.
Becky Sundermeier, senior in art and pho-
tographer for the gallery's Web site, said Gross-
man does a great job of tying her traditional land-
scape theme into the gallery's typically contem-
porary premise
"Lisa has a great ability to use color," Sun-
dermeier said. "She takes her real-life experienc-
es and paints from them Her work really adds to
the gallery. Coming to the gallery is great expe-
rience, especially for people from small towns. I
think it's very unique to Manhattan."
The gallery also features three-dimensional
art, ceramics, sculpture and photography. Each
mom in the gallery features a different artist, and
each has an individual theme. Grossman's work
is the gallery's primary show, and ceramic artist
Amy Kephart's work also is featured in the same
room as Grossman's

PILOTS program encourages K-State freshmen to achieve academically
By David Griffin Jr.
KANSAS SMI OOUXSAN
B.J Taylor has had a successful
freshman year at K-State, so far.
Taylor is involved in the K-State
PILOTS Program, designed to help
(reshmen transition from high school
to college. According to recent stud-
ies, most incoming college freshman
do not have the same smooth tran-
sition Taylor experienced
The American College Testing
(ACT) stated that one in every four
students leaves college before com-
pleting sophomore year This statis-
tic makes the one-on-one attention
PILOTS offers appealing to par-
ents and students who are worried
about the transition to college life,
PILOTS offers this through tutoring
sessions and smaller classroom sizes
for general education courses, like
College Algebra and Psychology
Taylor, freshman in open op-
tion, said he appreciates the alien
tiveness the program provides and
would recommend it to any incom-
ing freshman.
"You can get help at anytime, you
can become friends with some of the
PILOT teachers and get help on the
side - there's no lime that they'll ever
tell you, no, they can't help you," Tay-
lor said.
Matthew Groneman, PILOTS
lab coordinator, said he has the op-
portunity to sec first hand what the
students do in the PILOTS lab
"The students are out there to
succeed and for the most part are will-
ing to work as hard as they need to, to
be able to do that," Groneman said
Gabriela Sabates, PILOTS pro
gram director, said the program is a
way to empower students to succeed
academically
"This is not a program about sur
vival skills." Sabates said. "It's a pro-
gram about excelling academically."
Sabates, who has been the pro-
gram director for the past two years,
explained her reason for becoming
the new director was the opportunity

12DUIS
recorded
over past
weekend
By Irk Davis
KANSAS STATE COLLEGIAN
Police pulled over 21 mo-
torists during a saturation pa-
trol this weekend, according to
a press release from the Riley
County Police Department.
Of the 21 motorists pulled
over, police issued M warnings
and seven tickets to motorists
for driving under the influence
Overall that day, there
were 12 111 ' Is., and some might
not have been related to the
saturation patrol, said Lt. Kurt
Moldrup of the RCPD,
Moldrup also said the
higher number of Dills could
possibly be contributed to the
Fake Patty's Day festivities in
Aggievillc and the saturation
checkpoint.
"Do I believe [the holiday)
was part of the reason peo
pie were out drinking and we
picked that weekend? Abso-
lutely," Moldrup said That is
one of the reasons that more
people were out partying than
on a normal weekend "
The patrol, which last-
ed from late Saturday night to
early Sunday morning, was the
first of five patrols the depart-
ment will conduct throughout
the year
Moldrup said while offi-
cers have saturation patrols
to catch drunk drivers, they
do not usually come close to
catching all the drunk drivers
on the road.
"One of the reasons we do
saturation patrols on any giv
en night, especially weekends,
is because studies have shown
that there are a lot more intoxi-
cated drivers out there than we
come close to stopping,"

City suggests
funding for
KSU safety
By Brandon Stwnert
KANSAS STATE COLLEGIAN
Safety and environmen-
tal sust a inability were the two
main issues discussed during
a committee meeting Monday
evening at City Hall
The City/University Spe-
cial Projects Fund Committee
gathered to review updates on
2007 projects, estimated time
frame fur completion of ap-
proved 2008 projects and fund-
ing requests for 2009
According to a powerpoinl
presentation, $4 1 million has
been expended or approved
from calendar year 1996 to
2008, most of which was spent
on road construction, new
crosswalks and new sidewalks
The total of requests
from 2007 was $379,600, and
$394,200 for 2008 The 2009
request total has gone up more
than $100,000 to $510,000.
Eight items were presented
as requests for 2009 in a power
point by Cindy Bontrager, bud-
get director at K-State She said
the most important items were
those pertaining to student safe-
ty like the emergency preven-
tion, coordination and commu
nication request.
Committee members dis-
cussed the feasibility of a cam
pus wide alert system, which
would install new doors in lec-
ture halls The new doors would
automatically lock in the event
of an emergency, allowing peo-
ple to exit but not enter
Small boxes would also
be installed in classrooms and
hallways that would sound an
alarm and scroll text describing

Possible recession affects
students' job searches
By Amanda Ktlm
KANSAS STATFOllLFlilAN
With a possible recession loom-
ing, some K-Statc students might
have to take extra precautions to se-
cure future employment
"I'm not a forecaster, but there
is certainly going to be some rough
spots," said Anand Desai, associate
professor and head of the finance
department- "[Recession] is like-
ly The job field will become highly
competitive and [students | need to
make sure they're highly prepared to
do the job search It is highly pos-
sible that certain areas will be hit
harder than others, so they need to
remain open in terms of where they
look"
Remaining available for all pos
sible employment opportunities is
just one of several cautionary sleps
Desai said students should take to
remain ahead of possible recession
affects.
Desai said he advises students
to begin applying to and seeking
possible job opportunities the sec-
ond semester of their junior year
If a student is going to graduate in
Mav, Desai said it is important for
that person to line up job interviews
during the fall semester
"I think what they need to do
is start the job search early." he said
"That's always been the case but it's
even more important in an uncer-
tain economy because you may not
find the right job as quickly as you
otherwise would have."
John Newman, senior in ac-
counting and president of the K-
State Student Finance Association,
said he has discovered a light at the
end of the dark recession tunnel
Newman said many opportunities
are still available at K-State as long
as students are looking in the right
places
Newman listed Conoco Phillips.
Koch Industries. Sterner and Sprint
as companies that actively pursue K-
Stale finance students and gradu-
ates
"1 think a lot of what we're sec
ing, particularly at K State, is that
we don't have a lot of people who
go to Wall Street for jobs, which
is where the setback is occurring
From I he commercial banks thai a
lol of our students go to, they're not
experiencing a fallout like the shops
on Wall Street are," Newman said-
"We're still experiencing a lot of op-
portunities here al K-State"
Ashley Cooley, senior in fi-
nance, will be graduating in May
and she said she has already found
employment for when she leaves K
State.
"When I got a job, 1 used Career
and Employment Services, and right
now the job market is really strong,"
Cooley said. "I'm sure a recession
will have an impact on the job mar
ket, but right now. it's very strong"
Though Newman himself is a
member of the Army Reserves, he
had several e-mail requests regard-
ing opportunities for his students
and case interviews
"I think from what I've seen,
with a lot of my guys in the finance
association, placement has not been
a challenge If they're pursuing those
avenues, there seems lo be a broad
squad of opportunities," he said.
With job prospects in the Mid-
west remaining high, Newman said
he would warn students against
seeking employment in Wall Street
positions or other similar areas Re-
cession affecting the Manhattan
area, however, seems highly unlikely
to him.
Hip-hop group promotes diversity on campus
By Yvonnt Ramirez
KANSA>MAI'H'l>LI.tt;iA*i
Their faces displayed looks of con
fusion as their dance routine came to a
screeching halt
The group members lost their
place, and the music stopped. Howev-
er, their determination would not al-
low this technical difficulty stop the
performance routine ihey had worked
so hard to learn The song restarted
and the group continued dancing with
more energy than before.
The dance group Poize is the only
hip-hop dance group at K-State. Its
primary focus is to promote diversity
through dance, and the group reflects
this, involving members of all races.
The group wants lo grow and eventual-
ly represent all ethnic groups, said Kya
no Lee, president of Poize and junior in
speech pathology
Poize strives to provide an outlet
for students to gel involved and feel
welcomed on campus, said Britta-
ny Foster, vice president of Poize and
sophomore in apparel and textile de
sign
The group, which started two years
ago, has gained popularity on campus
as they perform at most multicultural
events and receive invitations to per-
form off campus
Monday, the group performed in
Multicultural Pride Day, a chance for
multicultural high school juniors and
seniors to visit the K-State campus
During their performance, the group's
CD skipped, but they continued with
their routine. The crowd apparently ap
predated the group's will to keep going
and they received a large applause
"The purpose of the group was to
have a group in which students who
love to dance - regardless of race -
can express their talent," Lee said
The organ izalion, co founded by
Lee. was formed to bring people with
an interest in hip-hop dance together.
Poize has 10 members and is seek-
ing to recruit more Lee said she takes
advantage of every opportunity to pro-
mote the group.
Many of the members hove train
ing in dance and are versatile in many
styles.
"We are really diverse in our
group," Poster said. "It's not just hip
hop - we fit in modem, ballet and
southern style dancing into our rou-
tines."
With more recognition and pop
ularity. the group has received phone
calls from schools like the University of
Kansas and Emporia State University
to perform. Because of a lack of funds,
the organization has been fuudraising
to gel un if onus for the team. Let said
This semester, many students and fac
ulty have seen the group in the K-State
Student Union asking fur donations on
numerous occasions
The profits from donations and
fundraising events will go toward iruv
eling costs to perfonn at schools who
extend invitations lo the group, Foster
said.

Full circle
- Ethanol production imitates effort to combat pollution
9.-
When Henry Ford built his
lirst mulor car in 1896 - the quad-
ri cycle as Ford called it - il was de-
signed tO I'll!
on pure eth-
anol Though
Ford's inno-
vations in II u
enced the en-
tire U.S. econ-
omy and infra-
structure, his
ethanol design
never caught
on. Gasoline
proved cheap-
er and easier to
burn and has
JOE
VOSSEN
been our favorite fuel for the last
century.
Now, 1 12 years later, what is
old is new again Ethanol produc-
tion is climbing in the US. and
around the globe The trend will
likely continue; Congress recent-
ly set benchmarks to increase our
production of ethanol and wean
the United Stales from foreign oil,
requiring 75 billion gallons of etha-
nol and biodiesel to be used in our
fuel by the year 2012.
Ethanol enjoys a reputation
as a clean-burning fuel (the U.S.
Department of Energy reports il
emits 22 percent less greenhouse
gas emissions than gasoline when
burned), but the production pro-
cess is hardly green
Many ethanol plants use natural
gas or coal to create the steam that
distills the corn sugars into alco
hoi The resulting fossil-fuel emis-
sions diminish the positive effects
of burning the cleaner ethanol.
An October 2007 article in
National Geographic reported that
for every unit of fossil fuel ener-
gy needed to produce com etha-
nol, only 1 3 units of ethanol out
put were generated. Compare that
with sugarcane ethanol produced
in Brazil (ethyl alcohol produced
from stalks of giant, tropica] sug-
arcane plants) cranked out at a ra-
tio of eight units of fuel for every
unit of input Biodiesel made from
canola oil or soybeans has a ratio
of 2.5 to 1
The production numbers por
tray ethanol as slightly advanta-
geous

I
to the environment, but the big-
ger picture is not so rosy. Unlike
oil, the US. hasn't built pipelines to
transport ethanol The millions of
gallons of ethanol produced in the
Midwest must be delivered by train,
truck or boat - which means more
fossil fuels arc burned and temper-
ature-raising carbons enter the at-
mosphere. Increasing com produc-
tion to make more ethanol might
also be harmful for the environ
merit
"Com requires large doses
of herbicide and nitrogen fertiliz-
er and can cause more soil erosion
than any other crop," wrote |ud
Bourne, the National Geograph-
ic article's author "Producing com
ethanol consumes just about as
much fossil fuel as the ethanol itself
replaces."
It might seem ethanol 's future
is dim, but the outlook for bio-
fuels in general and ethanol
production is positive The
efficiency with which com
is converted into ethanol
has improved dramatically
in the last decade, similar
advancements can be
expected in the next
10 years.
Alexander Gra-
ham Bell called ethanol a
"beautifully clean and effi
cicnt fuel that can be pro-
duced from vegetable mat
ter of almost any kind, even
garbage of our city"
He was right, and the
promising research of con-
verting any biomass like
com stalks, saw dust and al-
gae into alcohol for fuel is
enough to keep our ethanol
hopes afloat

news sto-
ry The
once
flamboyant and fun-lov-
ing Prince Harry - now a
much celebrated officer in
the British Armed Forces -
was soon to be deployed to
Afghanistan to command a
squadron of troops against
the Taliban
However, lor sensible
and self-evident reasons,
the Ministry of Defense de-
manded a media embargo
on any live coverage, offer
ing instead the opportunity
for a comprehensive expose
after the completion of his
tour The story would not go
forever untold, they prom-
ised, only until the young
royal's safety could be as-
sured
A voluntary media
blackout of this scale and
scope is a rarity in the era of
the competitive free press,
and we should take great
care not to place the blame
for what eventually trans-
pired at the feet of the entire
profession; that embarrass-
ing and disgraceful debacle
was largely the result of one
man's greedy attempts to
place himself at the center
of investigative journalism
The rest of the networks,
in spite of themselves, re-
strained their sensationalist
impulses and kept quiet
The worldwide embargo
was first violated when New
Idea - an Australian wom-
en's magazine apparent-
ly oblivious to the arrange-
ment - printed a short and
obscure article about il. and
the Berliner Kurier printed
some unsubstantiated spec-
ulation
The situation only be-
came unmanageable for the
Ministry of Defense, howev-
er, when Matt Drudge post-
ed a piece about it on his
tabloid Web site.
Drudge first gained no-
toriety for being the first
to break the news on the
Lewinsky scandal - caus-
ing Newsweek Magazine
to dump their own more
thoughtful expose - and has
since made a reputation for
himself as the most shame
less journalist in the blofQ
sphere There is little doubt
he knew what he was doing
was wrong; his unapologetic
defense stems entirely from
the fact he wasn't technical-
ly the first to break the cm
bargo (A curious just i fu j
turn, icrtainlv. juxtaposed
with his statements describ
ing his report on the prince
as an "exclusive")
But why would anyone
believe in the sincerity of
his raaponscs
is the same man who once
falsely accused Sidney Blu-
mentha] of domestic abuse,
only to retract it af-
ter the Washington
innuendo already
had reached satura-
tion More recent-
ly, he torpedoed the
reputation of CNN report-
er Michael Ware with a de-
monstrably false allegation,
one which turned out to be
based on information from
an imaginary source
Drudge and his itk don't be-
long in our reasonable jour-
nalism context, they belong
on the street corners, hol-
lering nonsense with the
doomsday lunatics.
To Prince Harry. 1 doff
my cap. I dare say he could
teach some of our elect
ed officials a thing or two
about personal responsibil
ity But as for Drudge, trea
sonous egomaniac who
has only once significant-
ly turned out to be right,
the question should not be
"Should we continue to give
him journalistic relevance?"
but rather. "Should we ever
offer him parole?"

TO THE POINT
K-Staters
should
appreciate
Manhattan
The next time you
use Old Stadium, you
should thank a Man-
hattan resident Or
if you use the cross-
walk lights on Manhat-
tan Avenue, you should
remember that it was
paid for with local tax
dollars.
The City of Manhat-
tan funds several cam-
pus projects every year.
There are not many
universities that have
as much city support as
K-State.
The City/University
Special Projects Fund
Committee met Mon-
day night to discuss the
requested projects for
2009. The total amount
requested, which was
more than half a mil-
lion dollars, was ap-
proved by the commit-
tee and will now be
voted on by the city
commissioners.
While improving
lighting and crosswalks
is always a concern, the
committee approved
several projects that
deal with hot-button is-
sues. For instance, the
committee wants to
help fund a new recy-
cling center on cam-
pus that would be com-
parable to the Univer-
sity of Kansas' facility.
There are also plans to
improve campus safety
and even requests from
committee members for
more money to be de
voted to security at re-
state.
Students and fac-
ulty members should
take more of an inter-
est in how Manhat-
tan is spending mon
ey on campus projects
If you're not doing any-
thing else anyway, you
should attend the city-
commission meeting
when they discuss the
City/University fund.
Also, K Staters
should see what they
can do to give back to
this community. After
all, they've already giv-
en a lot to K-State.

Healthy choices praised for Nutrition Month
ByJenruScavuzzo
Kansas HEHI 1 0UBGMM
Thi» month, dietitians and health educators
are encouraging students to engage in nutrition-
al health and physical activity in observance of
National Nutrition Month
The American Dietetic Association is using
this year's theme. "It's a Matter of Fact," to dis
pel the myths and current fads associated with
nutrition and educate Americans un nutritional
information, said Annie Weyhrauch, dietetic in
tern at Illinois Slate
"March was chosen as the month to spon-
sor National Nutrition Month because it's the
start of spring," Weyhrauch said "It's a good
time for people to start getting active and put u
focus on being nutritionally healthy,"
Weyhrauch said much of the nutritional in-
formation available is inaccurate, and health ed
in ,ii' its are seeking to provide basic nutritional
value and facts for consumers
"There is a plethora of poor nutritional in-
formation out there, mostly from bad Internet
jrces." she said. "Everyone claims they're an
and that they know what they're talking
I If you are seeking nutritional advice, seek
i a professional ."
Weyhrauch said she wants consumers (o
understand they can make a difference in both
their own nutrition and the elimination of Amer-
ica's poor nutrition-based diseases, like obesity
and diabetes.
Weyhrauch also said America's greatest
problem with nutrition is consumers' warped
perception of standard portion sizes Restaurant
NHHMH
meals are often two lo four times the amount
■ 1 1 a normal serving size, she said. Even low-fat
or low-calorie foods will add up if consumed in
great quantities, she said.
"Any food can fit into a healthy diet if you
can fit it into normal portion sizes." Weyhrauch
said "You can enjoy a variety of foods, but eat-
ing things in moderation is key to limiting total
calories. When eating out. try to save calories
by splitting a meal with a friend: when at home,
serve your food on smaller plates and be con-
scious of having second servings"
Weyhrauch said the best way consumers
can repair their eating and nutritional habits is
lo first make small changes, which add up over
tune
"Making little adjustments to your diet now
can make a real difference in the way you feel
in the long run," she said "Make sure they are
changes you can live wilh, however, as healthy
eating is not a fad or a 10-day plan. It's a lifelong
process"
Good nutrition has endless benefits for the
human body, said Courtney Held, sophomore in
dietetics She said she agrees that starting small
is the must effective way to make positive chang-
es.
"Good nutrition increases your quality of
life," she said "It helps you feel and concentrate
better, helps prevent chronic diseases and pro-
vides you with a constant supply of energy.
the best way to do this is to start small - it's
really hard lu completely re-do your diet Little
steps are not so overwhelming"

K-Staters
best fans
in Big 12
The end of the regular sea-
son has come and gone After
going to various road games
and seeing
different sec
tions - Okl i
ho ma, Kan-
sas, Iowa
Slate, Bay-
lor - 1 can
honestly say
I'm proud of
what we've
buitt here in
the last year
at K State
KState
has the largest student section
in the Big 12 Conference Iowa
State and Baylor's student sec-
tions easily contained [ew-
er than 1 ,000 students Plus,
both their student sections act-
ed completely out of their el-
ement While KState has co-
hesive cheers that it chants in
unison at the games, they have
different ones coming from all
different directions Most of
Ihem you can'l understand.
After visiting all these dif-
ferent venues, I honestly be
lieve KState has the best stu-
dent section in the conference,
with Kansas' coming in a very
close second. When I went to
Allen Field house last weekend,
the line of blue as I was driving
in the parking lot was just awe-
mspinng. The Kansas fans tru-
ly brought their spirit, but K-
State's supporters still are bet-
ter. The K- St ate fans camp out
for games, hide in the bush-
es when it's 15 degrees out-
side and show support for their
team, no matter what. Plus,
our cheer at the end of the
game isn't nearly as annoying
as "Kock Chalk Jayhawk"
Last year, former head
coach Bob Huggins sent a
strong message to the students
He wanted to see pride for this
team Well, Huggins is gone,
but KState is still as proud as
ever At every away game I've
been to this year - including
the Florida A&M game at the
Sprint Center in Kansas City,
Mo , on Dec 17 though that
was considered a "home victo
ry" - I've seen purple. It's ei-
ther been in dots or large dos-
es, but there's always some-
body in the stands.
Of course, the transition
from having a half full student
section to selling out season
tickets for the second-straight
year has not come without
growing pains. There are even
times when the coaches them-
selves have trouble adjusting
Coach Frank Martin has said
multiple times that the KState
fans are the best in the coun-
try
Though B rami age Colise-
um has caused nightmares for
teams like Texas A&M, Mis-
souri and Kansas, it's time to
move on This week is the Big
12 Tournament at the Sprint
Center Then, it's on to bigger
and better things, hopefully.
The Wildcat fan base extends
from coast to coast, so let's
show them the best fan base in
the US Let's go, and pack it
with purple through the post-

Swing and a miss
Women's golf
looks to regain
form in Vegas
By Colt Man beck
KANSAS STATE COLLEGIAN
The Wildcats' spring season got off
to a rough start when they finished in
fifteenth place with a 99 over par 963 at
the Central District Invitational at River
Wilderness Golf Course in Parrish, Fla
The K State women's golf team is
looking to rebound this week in Boulder
City. Nev , for the University of Nevada
at Las Vegas Spring Rebel Invitational at
Boulder Creek Golf Course
However, coach Kristi Knight said
she was not discouraged with her team's
play.
"We hadn't been able to get out on
the course very much due to the cold
weather," Knight said. "I think the girls
put a little too much pressure on them
selves, but 1 think we are going to re
bound. This is a good team, and we're
capable of doing anything."
Senior Hailey Mireles, from Garden
City, Kan , led the team in the Central
District Invitational with a 22-over par
238, tying her for 48th.
The Wildcats will look to regain the
momentum they built in the fall season,
which included four top-three finish
es. It marked the most since the 2003-
04 season combined, when they finished
with six top-threes, the most in any sin
gle season in school history They will
go against aUwgb field which _ features
1 8 teams, 1 5 of which rank in Gotfweek
corn's Top 100
The tournament is highlighted by
Gotfweek.eom's No 35 BYU Cougars
and the No, 43 Indiana Hoosiers
The Wildcats enter the three-round,
54 -hole tournament ranked No. 75 in
the country, according to the Web site.
Knight said she thinks the members
of her team have taken advantage of the
last few weeks off and really improved
some facets of their game.
"We've had great practices leading
up to this tournament," Knight said.

KANSAS STATE COLLEOIAN
The KState baseball team
will look to continue on its first
three game winning streak of
the season as it faces the Wash-
ington State Cougars at 630 to-
night at Tbinton Family Stadi
urn.
The Wildcats are coming
off three -straight victories over
the Le Moyne Dolphins last
weekend, including a throttling
10-1 victory in the last game of
Sunday's doubleheader
KState started slow
against the Dolphins by fall-
ing 8-3 in the first game Satur-
day, but gained momentum for
the rest of the series when the
Wildcats were able to mount a
ferocious comeback, winning
11-10.
Coach Brad Hill said he
thinks the Wildcats are happy
with how the weekend series
went, but the team members
also realize they aren't nearly
where they want to be
"We leel good about win-
ning three straight, but we
haven't hit on all cylinders at all
yet," Hill said. We had a couple
pretty good comebacks, so we
just need lo keep playing hard,
and it will all come together."
Hill said he thinks some of
the lack of production has to
do with the players putting too
much pressure on themselves.
"We have to try to get the
guys lo play with a little more
confidence and help them re-
lax," Hill said "We have good
players, and when good players
play bad, they tend to press. We
need to try to get them to loos-
en up"
Washington State comes
into the game against the Wild-
cats with a winning streak of
its own, with 10 victories in its
last 1 1 games After losing their
opener lo Creighton, 8 4. the
Cougars put together a win-
ning streak of seven before los-
ing to Kent State Washington
Slate is on a three-game win-
ning streak, and the Cougars'
offense could give the Wildcats
several problems.
"The biggest concern is
how well they're swinging
the bats," Hill said. "Obvious-
ly they're playing well because
they're 10-2 Compared to us.
we are on opposite ends of the
spectrum right now"
KState is also on anoth-
er streak it wants to break at
home tonight against the Cou-
gars, The Wildcats are try-
ing to avoid a loss for the sec-
ond-straight lime after win-
ning three in a row. They also
have a chance to end yet anoth-
er Washington State winning
streak, but to do so, Hill said
his team will have to go back to
the basics
"Do the fundamentals - it
all starts with pitching and de-
fense," he said "We know we're
better on defense, but we have
to limit their opportunities. We
can't allow big innings"
K-State Basketball players, coach lauded for weekly, seasonal awards
Several K State play
ers were honored over the
weekend for their recent and
season- long performances.
Freshman forward Michael
Beasley. senior guard Kimber-
ly Dietz, junior guard Shalee

Many graduating seniors
look forward to the excite-
ment of building a new life for
themselves after college.
However, it is difficult
to make a fresh start without
proper transportation. This is
where a new car comes into
the picture. Angela Whay, se-
nior in speech, said she decid-
ed to purchase a new vehicle
right after college.
"My car has 180,000 miles
on it." Whay said
She said she likes the car
she has now and one feature
in particular has made a last-
ing impression on her.
"I love my V-6 engine,"
she said "I will never go back
to only four [cylinders]."
She said the 1996 Cam-
ry she drives has been reliable,
but the car's mileage makes
her worry it will not last much
longer.
"1 got it my senior year of
high school." Whay said.
Whay said her main con-
cern when looking for a new
car is gas mileage.
"1 want to able to drive
my car and not have to worry,"
she said. "It's so expensive to
fill up."
Many students choose
tu buy new cars rather than
keeping their old ones for
many reasons, but some opt to
drive their current vehicle un-
til it breaks down for good
Ryan Fritz, senior in fi-
nance, said he does not plan
on buying a new vehicle imme-
diately after graduation. Fritz
drives a 1999 Mazda truck he
got during his junior year of
high school.
Because of the rising cost
of gas, Fritz said he will take
his next vehicle's milage into
consideration
"1 don't want to spend a
lot on gas, and 1 like to drive
places" Fritz said. "I don't
need to use all the gas in the
world."
Wayde Houghtaling, sales
consultant at Dick Edwards,
said there are many factors be-
yond price to consider when
purchasing a new car.
The first, and most im-
portant, aspect to consider,
Houghtaling said, is what the
person will use the car for, as
there are different cars for dif-
ferent purposes.
"Are you commuting 20
miles, 40 miles, two hours
to work'"' Houghtaling said
"You know, these kinds of
things"
After deciding on the av-
erage daily use. cargo and pas-
senger room are taken into
consideration, Houghtaling
said.
He said when shopping
for a new car, the buyer has
the responsibility to know
what they want, but the sales-
person also has the responsi-
bility to listen.
"The whole concept [of
selling cars] is fulfilling the
person's needs with the vehicle
rather than concentrating on a
price issue only," Houghtaling
said.
Houghtaling said if the
salesperson does not take the
adequate amount of time, the
new car owner will be left with
more problems than just an
unwanted car
"If you buy something
based on affordability and
gel a vehicle that does not
meet the emotional or physi-
cal needs of the person, they
won't be satisfied with the ve-
hicle," Houghtaling said. "All
that's going to do is end up
costing them more money."
Overall. Houghtaling said
it is important for buyers to
know what they want in a new
vehicle.
The rest is up to the sales-
person.
MUSIC REVIEW
Brooklyn 3-piece band mixes sounds from 70s, '80s and '90s
"A Place to Bury Strangers"
••••&
Review by Mirk SibHIi
Though the beginning of
the new year can be a frus
(rating time when it comes
to new music, the lack of
worthwhile material often
allows listeners to discov-
er albums from the previ
ous year that were highly tec
ommended but overlooked
by many mainstream publi-
cations. One band that has
created quite a buzz in the
underground music scene
is A Place to Bury Strang-
ers, a Brooklyn three-piece
that mixes the sounds of ear-
ly 1990s shoegaze with post-
punk aesthetics of the laic
70s and early '80s
Oliver Ackerman fronts
the band and also cus-
tom builds and designs his
Own hand-wired guilor ped-
als that have been used by
bands like Lightning Bolt
and Serena Maneesh to Wil
co and Spoon. To gel an kJM
of A Place to Bury Strang
er's sound, one only needs to
look at the names of Acher-
man's pedals Interstellar
Overd river, Supersonic Fuzz
Gun, Total Sonic Annihila-
tion
After various stints with
[Intercut bands around the
country. Ackerman moved
to New York and hooked up
with drummer and bassist
Jono Mofo Together, the trio
compiled and remastered var-
ious versions of previously re
corded CD-Rs and MP3s and
created their self titled debut
Though many bands
have resurrected the blissful,
trebly side of shoegaze, few
allowed lacerating feedback
and frustrated aggression per-
meate through their music
like A Place to Bury Strang-
ers
Opener "Missing You"
begins wilh cascading wash-
es of brutal guitar feedback
and stuttering drum rhythm
before giving way to murky,
chiming post punk guitar line
and love-wasted lyrics. These
verses give way to a cho-
rus of "I want to fall in love
with you." which is backed
by Ihe same shattering gui-
tar line that opens the song.
These blasts of blown -out gui-
tar perfectly accentuate the
longing by the narrator of the
song feels, bringing an addi-
tional emotional heft to Ihe
frustration and emotion ol
professing one's feelings of
love
"Don't Think Lover'
opens with brulal textures of
feedback before leading into
one of ihe most tuneful songs
Ml ihe album The same three
chords are pounded vicious-
ly into the listener's car, and
this is followed by a chord
change that sounds like the
dying bellows of a Tyranno-
sauru?
Primitive, prepro-
grammed drum beats dom-
inate Ihe excellent "To Fix
Ihe Gash in Your Head" This
is complemented by a tre-
bly synthesizer line and buzz-
saw guitar lines. The song's
aggressive nature is echoed
in its violent lyrics. The track
sounds evokes late-'SOs in-
dustrial bands with its intense
rhythms and powerful feed-
back.
In addition to creat-
ing mind-bending rockers, A
Place to Bury Strangers also
is adept al adapting its sound
to slow-buming numbers that
are every bit as potent as the
more straight forward songs
"The Falling Sun" is
Ihe band in slow motion. A
plodding, thundering drum
rhythm keeps the song to-
gether while a menacing syn-
thesizer line lingers in the
background. About one-and-
a-half minutes into the song,
the song slowly explodes into
a squall of feedback lhat car-
ries ebbs and flows in and out
of the song, creating a very
palpable sense of tension.
A Place to Bury Strang-
ers can create beauty out of
eardrum-shattering harsh-
ness. Originally, the album
was quite a chore for record
buyers to find because of its
limited initial production
numbers and the fact it is re-
leased on the tiny label Kill-
er Pimp But because the al-
bum has been out for several
months, it has become easier
to find a copy, and this is the
perfect time to acquire a copy
of this seminal debut album.

Alternative breaks become K-State tradition
WOMEN I Team focuses on future
By Elite Podhajiky
KANSAS ST ATt COLLEGIAN
V r "'K Break Alternatives
wan started in 1994 and marked
the beginning of what would
become a very successful pro-
gram for K-State students look
tag for a rewarding vacation.
The following article was
taktn from the March 50. 1995.
Collegian and written M fmtt
GUHlkd
Instead of going skiing or
relaxing on the beach for spring
break, some K State students
di in. iied their time participating
in Spring Break Alternatives
"it is a week -long immer
sion into a culture that is total-
ly different than what they are
use to." Clint Leonard, junior in
buitliemislry and pre-medicine
and coordinator of the event,
said
Students who participate
in the program go in groups of
eight to 10 and travel lo a host
lltt in a socio-economic poor
area
' We serve the people at the
sites materially, but it is also
great fur them to see young peo-
ple cuming to help," he said.
Leonard said this was the
second year for the program at
K-State Last year, there were
two sites and 16 people This
year, there were four sites thai
consisted uf 34 people.
Megan Cumin, sophomore
in pre-nursing, went lo Chicago
with Spring Break Alternatives
Curran said she worked
in a soup kitchen for home-
less men and women and at an
uihcr area that was for raft]
lies, where she worked with the
children
"I had never experienced
working with homeless people
before, and I realized that there
are a lot of things t do not need
and thai I take for granted.*' she
mU
Chris Hansen, sophomore
in nuclear engineering, went
with another group to a cen-
ter in Mexico where they visit
ed neighboring villages and de
livered toys and clothes
"By working in the villages
in Mexico. 1 learned to put my
own life into perspective, and
1 learned a lot about myself. 1
saw how lucky we are living
here because we have choices."
Hansen said
Lisa Pierce, junior in pre-
occupational therapy, went
lo the third site, which was in
the Appalachian Mountains in
Kentucky
"I helped with home-im-
provement projects in Ken
rucky. It was a good feeling 1
got knowing that I was helping
out people, and I gave myself
for another human being," she
said
Leonard said anyone at K
State can participate in this pro-
gram. People are selected on a
first come, first served basis
"All of the spots for this
year were filled up one month
ago I can see us adding anoth-
er site or two next year The
number limit is based upon the
number of sites." he said
"People can start signing
up at the beginning of lanuary
You can sign up at the St Isi-
dore's Catholic Center, but you
do not have to be Catholic to
participate"
Like other spring break
trips, students have lo pay ihcir
own way
"The students pay their
own way, but we did get an al-
location from SGA that helped
out. The cost is very small com-
pared to other spring breaks
that students go on." Leonard
said.
Housing for the volunteers
varies Some places have beds,
while uiher places jusl have a
floor to sleep on.

"We've been outside
more oflen these past few
weeks, and we've really
worked on improving our
wedge game."
The Wildcats will be led
by senior Kali Quick, a na-
tive of Nampa, Idaho, who
has averaged the top score
on the team with a 77,06
through 17-rounds.
Knight said she thinks
her team will return to the
way they were playing in
the fall, and she is looking
forward to the rest of the
season.
"I'm as confident in
them today as 1 was a
month ago," Knight said.
"One tournament isn't go-
ing lo define us as a team -
we're better than that, and
there's been no feeling scrr^
ry for ourselves. It's just a
matter of going out and
playing and making good
decisions."
CITY | Safety, recycling discussed
Continued tram Page 1
the nature of the emergency.
According lo the powerpoint.
$100,000 was requested for
next year.
It would take about
$10,000 to install each door,
said Mark Taussig, interim
associate director of Facility
planning facilities.
Several committee mem-
bers raised concerns about
the feasibility of the program,
which is planned to be imple-
mented by Alertus Emergen-
cy Warning Systems
"The reality is we just
don't have funding to sudden-
ly make K-State a totally safe
place," said Bruce Shubert,
associate vice president of the
department of administration
and finance at K-State. "So
well just have to make prog-
ress as best we can"
The installation of the
new doors, software and alert
panels will be funded over the
course of three or more years.
Shubert said
"I think some research
still needs to be done on [the
alert system j," Bontrager said.
The committee also dis-
cussed a new 7,200 square
feel recycling/sorting center,
which committee members
said they expected to cost
around $500,000
Some committee mem-
bers said they thought more
money should be spent on
safety than on recycling
"1 think the recycling
center is important - 1 think
safety is more important,"
said Roger Adams, faculty
representative and associate
professor at Hale Library "I
think the recycling center is
fine, I think its a great idea,
but in the end it's not saving
lives,"

Moldrup said.
One reason there were not
more arrests was because there
are a limited number of arrests
that can be made by a force of
four officers, Moldrup said.
"You can only get so many,"
he said "Once we make an ar-
rest, that officer is off the streets
for a little bit. When you have
that many, it makes it difficult to
get more"

He said when officers make
a DUL arrest, they will be off the
road for anywhere from 45 min-
utes to an hour, depending on
how busy the [ail and officers
are. He also said the weather
usually has an effect.
"If it had been nicer weath

HEALTH I Small changes suggested for dieters
Continued from Page 5
America's fast-paced life-
styles and complacent atti
tudes toward their diets have
caused the country to suffer
from a large amount of obe-
sity-related diseases, said Di-
anna Schalles, dietician and
health educator at Lafene
Health Center
She said this busy life-
style and lazy mentality make
it challenging for consumers
to fuel their bodies with the
necessary amounts of nutri
ent rich foods Nine of 10 col-
lege students eat fewer than
five servings of fruits and veg-
etables per day. Schalles said.
Stress also contributes to poor
eating choices, she said
"Despite the ever-ex-
panding quality of food prod
ucts available to consumers,
the quality of our individu
al food choices is decreas-
ing, with packaged and high-
ly processed foods often be
ing substituted for the whole
grains, fruits, vegetables and
lean proteins that are the
foundation of a healthy diet,"
Schalles said "Due to many
of us being conditioned from
childhood to view food as a
reward, many people tum to
food to cope with life stres
sors,"
Schailes said students
should choose whole grains,
fruits and vegetables to start
eating a healthier diet.
"Students should look for

whole grain cereal, 1 apple, 1
cup low fat milk or soymilk,

3/4 cup grapes," Schalles said
"Even a small child can do|
this, so we don't have to over-
ly focus on what individual
nutrients a food provides"
Lafene offers Healthy
PAC-CATS, a program by
peer mentors to help students |

said The health center also

K-State lacking in recycling facilities, hopes to improve
By Sarah Bur ford
KANSAS STATE 1 OU M.IAN
K State is requesting $480,500 from the
city university fund for a new recycling facil-
ity. The new building will form the base for
a new, all campus recycling program at K-
State.
Tom Rawson. K-State's vice president for
administration and finance, said the universi-
ty wants a bigger building to replace its tem-
porary location at the "shepherd's house,"
which the Facilities Department has been us-
ing for the last few years
John Woods, director of facilities servic-
es, said the funding request was partially ap-
proved Monday evening, but will not be voted
on by city commissioners until June or July
The university will not receive the money
until February 2009, if passed
A PASSION FOR RECYCLING
Though K Stale's recycling program has
existed since 1989, Rawson said it has not
been visible.
"We're ramping thai up to a more aggres
sive program," Rawson said.
Ion Edward Thorsell, senior in civil engi
neering. has been researching K- State's recy-
cling program for the last six months. He said
he has spent 20-40 hours per week investigat
ing other Big 12 Conference universities' pro-
grams, trying lo discover what makes them ef-
fective He has compiled his research into a
detailed program proposal for the university
"There's no reason we can't do better,"
Thorsell said "If everyone is doing such a
great job, then why aren't we al the top of
that list?"
Thorsell said he took on this project by
himself because he wanted people to realize
that K State's recycling program needed to
improve,
"I didn't know what I was getting myself
into," Thorsell said-
He gathered pictures, facts and statis-
tics from most of the Big 12 Universities and
came to several conclusions about how K-
State could improve
"The main point is, we need to have a
plan," Thorsell said "When it comes to K-
State moving forward, we need to look into
other programs to see what is working for
them, and don't just rush it This is an ex-
cellent opportunity because we have a clean
slate"
Thorsell s proposal stated that K-State
earns about $5,000 per year by recycling 300
ions of goods. Its temporary facility has less

New trash bins dispersed to help with recycling at K-State
By Deborah Muhweii
KANSAS STATE COLLEGIAN
K State's recycling pro-
gram has been in existence
since 1989 and is coordinat-
ed through the Custodial De-
partment. According to K
State's recycling Web site,
there are currently 30 facil-
ities participating in the re
cycling effort in some form
These efforts include relocat-
ing existing receptacles, in-
cluding new products and in-
creasing staff workers. One
of the recent initiatives has
been adding recycling recep-
tacles in administrators' of-
fices
|i hi Edward Thorsell,
senior in civil engineering,
said he noticed the recycling
issue on campus two years
ago and has been doing ex
tensive research for the last
six months Thorsell com-
pared the K Stale recycling
program to different schools
in the Big 12, including the
University of Texas, the Uni
versity of Kansas and the
University of Colorado, and
saw the need for improve-
ment.
"Once I committed to
this idea, 1 pulled my trig-
ger and took the initiative,"
he said. "Back in October. I
thought, you know, if no oth
er student is going to fight
for this cause, then I will."
John Woods, director of
facilities services, said I he
new initiative is called the
deskside program This pro-
gram gives administrators
the opportunity to either
dispose of their recycling
by taking it to a hallway, or
by having a recycling bin at
(heir desk. Faculty have the
option to choose whether or
not they want to be a part of
the desk-side program, but
Woods said he hopes there
will be more participation by
having the bins at the desk.
"We are taking it build-
ing by building," he said.
"Trash will only be picked
up once a week, but the recy-
cling will be picked up sever-
al times a week "
The new desk-side bins
are currently located in some
of the buildings on campus
including Throckmorton,

Police
to conduct
sobriety
checkpoint
By Yvonne Ramiraz
KANSAS STATF i i ILI rGlAN
Many people will hit the
bars this coming week and
enjoy their anxiously await-
ed spring break With more
partying during spring break,
the opportunities fur drunken
drivers on the road increases.
According lo a Riley
Country Police Department
press release, the kCDP will
conduct a sobriety checkpoint
between 1230 Saturday after
noon and 2:30 Sunday morn-
ing. The checkpoint will take
place in the south central area
of Manhattan
The checkpoint date was
chosen because spring break
occurs during this time, which
means more people will be out
on the street and the area is
more prone to drunken driv-
ers, RCPD Lt Kurt Moldrup
said
The focus of these types
of check points is not exclu-
sively students, Moldrup said
"Our targets in check
points are intoxicated drivers,"
he said
Even though many K-
Slate students leave for spring
break, many people are still in
the area, Moldrup said Many
military and community mem-
bers, as well as high-school
and college students, stay be-
hind, and increased reports of
drinking happens during this
vacationing period, Moldrup
added
The checkpoint should
not be confused with a satu-
ration patrol, which is what
took place last weekend. A
saturation patrol happens
when many officers spread
out in the community and
consciously look for impaired
drivers.
During a checkpoint, I
specific location is select-
ed and every car entering the
point is stopped for a brief
conversation about the check-
point with an officer
"During the conversa-
tion, officers will determine
if a driver could be impaired,"
Moldrup said "Those suspect
i'd of driving impaired will be
pulled to the side for a so-
briety test and potentially a
breath test ."
Moldrup said knowl-
edge of the checkpoint itself
might deter drinkers from get-
ting behind the wheel, and the
checkpoint locations are se-
lected for problem areas
"It makes people think
twice about driving impaired,"
Moldrup said "Checkpoints
are located where we expect a
lot of impaired drivers "

KANSAS STATE COLLF.UIAN
K- State's College of Engineering,
like many engineering programs across
the country, has been traditionally male-
oriented, but that has not stopped wom-
en irom excelling in the college
The undergraduate female popula-
tion at K- State is 48 percent and there's
about 23 percent of those women in-
volved engineering program, said Kim
beriy Douglas, associate professor in en-
gineering and director of the Women in
Engineering Science Program
The Women in Engineering and
Science Program, also known as WESP.
strives to promote this effort A group
called EXCITE, which stands for "Ex
ploring Science Technology and Engi-
neering," connects female K-State stu-
dents with adolescent girls who are in-
terested in science and engineering and
helps younger students gain familiarity
wifit fobs in science and engineering.
"We send out packages in the
spring to all the middle schools and high
schools in the state of Kansas," said Su-
san Arnold Christian, WESP outreach
program coordinator.
Science and math teachers at par-
ticipating middle schools and high
schools approach students about hands-
on work in engineering and science.
"It gets kids out of the classroom
and into the laboratory," said Chris So-
rensen. university distinguished profes-
sor of physics.
Christian said 46 percent of EX-
CITE participants from the program's
first year are continuing their education
in engineering, science or education.
Kimberly Kelph. senior in life sci-
ences, was a mentor in the EXCrTE pro-
gram for the past two years and said she
might do so again this summer.
"It's really interesting to see the girls
so involved." Relph said.
EXCITE students who continue
their education at K- State are placed in
small groups with other freshman girls
who are majoring in either science or
engineering. These groups are led by up-
perclassmen who are in the same field
"There are more [female] under-
graduates majoring in engineering now
than when I was in school." Sorensen
said.

Job opportunities, wages to increase
in Manhattan, say city commissioners
By Deborah Muhwtzl
KANSAS STATE COLLEGIAN
There arc help-wanted signs
on business windows and constant
ads in local newspapers encourag-
ing readers to apply for jobs, but
some local businesses are having a
difficult time finding employees
City Commissioner Bruce
Snead said this is because almost
everyone who wants a job has a
job. Employers might be in need of
workers, which could cause an in-
crease in the wages in Manhattan,
he said.
"The reality is that there is
close to full employment in Man-
hattan," Snead said. "Whether
wages are low or not is a personal
evaluation or a comparison Over-
all, I think there is low unemploy-
ment, and in that situation, where
there is a shortage of labor, wages
tend to move upward."
With a population of about
50,000, Manhattan is set to expand
economically with new develop
ments like the expensive down-
town redevelopment plan, which
includes proposals for a discovery
center, hotel, movie theater, con-
ference center and retail and res-
taurant space
According to a study per
formed by bestplaces.net, the 2007
unemployment rate in Man hat
tan was 3 2 percent. This percent-
age represents the number of peo
pie in the city who are currently
out of work, available to work and
currently looking for jobs. Over the
next 10 years, the job growth in
Manhattan is predicted to increase
by about 14 percent.
Manhattan was ranked No.
6 in the college town-community
class in 2000 by ePdunk.com. K-
Stale and Port Riley were among
the top employers, City Commis-
sioner Bob Strawn said.
"Wages are probably low in
Manhattan - that's a result of the
amount of people willing to work,"
Strawn said.
Strawn mentioned the ma-
jority of jobs that are available in
Manhattan are mainly retail and
grocery stores, which are known
to have low wages There are also
military dependents in the com-
munity who are currently seeking
work.
"The overall market for stu-
dent jobs is part-lime," he said.
"We have a large pool of talent
available in Manhattan, and thai
can have an effect on the job op-
portunities available for students"
Mitt BlntW | COLLEGIAN
IHOP is one of many businesses around Manhattan that is looking for new employees to fill shifts. City Commissioner Bruce
Snead said there might be a raise in wages in Manhattan because of a shortage of workers.

Wasteful spending
Senate needs to re-examine how it budgets students' money
When students need to
buy school supplies, many
proceed to the ATM and are
forced to
withdraw
$40 worth
of funds
because
the ma-
chine only
allowed
money to
be taken
out in $20
increments.
In
the book-
store, one
of these
students picked up pencils,
pens, a notebook and paper
The total cost for the supplies
came to $15 The student
handed the cashier a $20 bill
and received $5 back.
After this transaction,
the student still has $25 to
use towards monthly expens-
es.
This little story might
seem like common sense to
the average student, but it
seems not to register with
Student Governing Associa-
tion
According to the SGA
Student Activity Budget
Agreement. "Any funds not
spent at the end of the fiscal
year shall be reverted back to
the Reserves for Contingen-
cies Account" This also ex-
tends to student groups who
do not use all the funding
they are allocated for specific
projects
Even though this money
should go back into the bud-
get to help fund other groups,
it is put into a reserves ac-
count Each year, SGA has
been dipping into these re-
serves to pay for group activ-
ities The purpose of these re-
serves is to help fund groups
in emergency situations, but
a budget is still a budget.
Each year students are
forced to pay their student
privilege fees, which, accord-
ing to student body presi-
dent Matt Wagner, totaled
$304.90 this year. The money
is collected and then distrib-
uted to different groups like
campus organizations, mul-
ticultural organizations, col-
lege councils, graduate stu-
dent councils, academic com-
petitions and institutional
services
After spring break. SGA
will be voting on some of the
allocations for the 2009 fis-
cal year through the Student
Centered Tuition Enhance-
ment Bill Currently this bill
has an operating budget of
roughly SI million
Our money makes up
part of these funds that SGA
uses to fund programs on
campus There should be
checks and balances on how
it is spent, and SGA needs to
be pressured to stay within
its budget instead of dipping
into reserves.
SGA has methods of ap-
proving allocations; most are
based on educational value,
amount of funds already re
quested and time at which re-
quests are submitted
Last Saturday's Harry
Potter Wizard rock concert is
a prime example of why SGA
should be held in check with
its funding. This concert re-
ceived more than $1,800 of
our money and was put
on under the pretense it
would increase literacy
rates
If my money is being
spent on campus, it better
be for the benefit of col-
lege students Last time 1
checked, having the ability
to read is an important part
of getting into college
According to a March
10 Collegian article, the
group was using this as a
fundraiser for First Book, "
nonprofit organization pro-
viding disadvantaged chil-
dren with new books."
Though this might be a
noble cause, other student
groups with equally high
aims have been denied fund
ing for fundraising activities
According to the cam-
pus-wide 2006 budget re-
quest forms, Habitat for
Humanity was denied fund-
ing for its program on Feb
2
It is time for SGA to
set firm standards for deter-
mining allocations or learn
and start using the word
my father used when I
asked for money out-
side of the family bud-
get - no.

Illustration! by Chnitin* Forsberg | COLLEGIAN
Conservative political commentator needs own checks, balances system
Bill O'Reilly did it again Then
again - no surprise.
Recently on "The O'Reilly Fac
tor." O'Reilly
compared Arian-
na Hufhngton of
the Hufnngton
Post to Nazis and
the Ku Klux Man
He said that after
the Hufnngton
Post ran an article
about how Nan
cy Reagan was
hospitalized after
falling in Bel- Air,
Calif., on Sunday,
a number of blog-
gers were allowed
to leave distaste-
ful and crude comments on Ihe Post's
message boards
O'Reilly gave the following ex-
ample on his own Web site, billowl-
ty.com
"Like her evil husband," one of
the commentators said, "she has lived
far too long Here's hoping the hag
suffers for several weeks, then croaks
in the tub "
Vicious, no doubt Unfortunately
O Reilly did what no other can do in
the same style make an idiot of him
self
GRADY
BOLDING
"If you look back at what hap-
pened in Germany,' O'Reilly said on
"The O'Reilly Factor" on Feb 27. "you
cannot escape the similarities - what
Hitler and his cutthroats did back
then and the hate-filled blogs, what
they're doing now Today we're see
ing the same thing on the Net."
Later in the same segment, he
summed it all up "1 don't see a dif-
ference between [Arianna] Huffing -
ton and the Nazis"
Recently. O'Reilly has set his
sights on left-Ming blogs. message
boards and who he considers irre-
sponsible Internet users who smear
conservatives. Media Matters for
America, DailyKos and Moivon.org
have been just a few of O'Reilly's
targets. The Hufnngton Post is now
among the ranks
Likewise, O'Reilly is on the front
lines when it comes to blogging Not a
bad cause - unless you take sides, in
which case O'Reilly should have no
say
O'Reilly's Web site has forums
in which members can discuss their
opinions on issues However, on July
24. 2007. special guest Howard Wolf-
son, communications director for
Hillary Clinton's campaign, pointed
out some distasteful posts about ille-
gal immigrants made on the forum
That s bull," O'Reilly said in re-
sponse "We know what you're going
to say because the Kos planted some-
body in there"
By Kos. he meant the liberal blog
DailyKos
Way to solve that problem. Bill
Blame liberals.
Liberal bloggers are obviously
never out of O'Reilly's sight Howev-
er, it's strange how some conservative
bloggers manage to slip by him
Take conservative blogger and
pundit Michelle Malkin for example
In her blog on Aug. 12. 2006, Malkin
wrote about how the ant i- war group
Students Against War pru tested mil-
itary recruitment at the University of
California at Santa Cruz Not only did
Malkin voice her opinion about the
escalating protests - which she had
the right to do - but she posted some
students' personal information on her
own blog These students of SAW be
gan receiving death threats shortly af-
ter
Bottom line Bill O'Reilly is the
last person who can say anything
about online bloggers when he can't
even control the most radical ele-
ments of his own wing I've seen the
posts and comments from the left thai
O'Reilly always brings up However.
I've also seen the same thing on con-
servative blogs Apparently. O'Reilly
can't see such problems, even in Mi-
chelle Malkin's case, when the offens-
es are nearly inches away from a fel-
ony. Why didn't O'Reilly do anything
about It?
Don't gel me wrong here. O'Reilly
is a passionate commentator with his
"man against the world"
view on life Since 1999. he
has gradually evolved from
some nameless commenta
tor into an American icon.
His biggest flaw his ego.
Now that he can no longer
achieve his high by attack-
ing Sept 11 'tnilhers.'
France, and liberal com
menialor Al Franken,
he seems to have his
sights on the Internet
Technology is as
much a blessing as
it is a curse And
if someone can't
take the heal, thai
lucky person shouldn't have a com
puter in the first place
"In order for a country to be truly
free, people must be responsible and
fair-minded.'' O'Reilly wrote on his
own blog "Right now, 1 believe the
Internet is taking us in the opposite
directum
Remember. Bill, hypocrisy
spelled with a big fat "H "

Bigger plans are
even being made to
build a new recycling

is old and much too

Local grocery store offers healthy, fair alternatives to chain stores
By Elite Podtajsky
KANSAS STATE 1 1 > LIE* ,1 AS
All-natural, organic, min
imally processed and fair-
ly traded foods and person-
al items arc layered through-
out People's Grocery Cooper
ative's five aisles.
Stacy Smith, People's
general manager, said all of
the store's food items con-
tain fewer fillers, preserva
lives, pesticides, antibiotics
and hormones than food nor-
mally found in chain grocery
stores.
"Minimum processing is
simply better for you," Smith
said. "It's like the difference
between buying a Cadillac and
buying a Chevy -both cars
are going to get you places,
but you're going lo get there
in better shape in one. You get
better fuel out of it, you feel
better, have more energy and
have less calories in a lot of
cases"
People's. 523 S. 17th Si. , is
the only cooperative grocery
store in Manhattan. Smith
said. This means thai instead
of an individual owning the
store, people who participate
in the co-op essentially own a
portion of it and have a say in
how it's run. Smith said co-op
members annually elect the
store's board of directors who
oversee the general manager,
who runs the store.
"It's a different way of do-
ing business," Smith said. "The
customer is part of it instead
of just being a consumer"
She said people can sign
up for a membership for $55.
and in turn, they will receive
a 10 percent discount twice a
month, newsletters on the or
ganization and money back at
the end of the year, depending
on how much the member has
spent.
Terrie McCants, Mm hat
tan resident, said even though
she is not a member, she shops
at People's because of its se-
lection of organic and natural
foods.
McCants said as she has
gotten older, she has started
to look at health from a more
preventative stance, as op-
posed to just treating symp-
toms, and she said she likes
People's health and "good-liv-
ing" focus.
"I like the staff knowl-
edge here," she said. "I can
come in and say, OK, I'm
having a headache What do
I need lo be doing to restore
health?' They have that kind
of information that's difficult
(o find in a supermarket - [su-
permarket workers] can tell
you what aisles things are on,
but not necessarily that added
health dimension."
Adara Leonard, People's
employee, said she has been
working for the store since
October and enjoys its local,
laid-back atmosphere as op-
posed to that of a large cor-
poration. She said she buys
her groceries from Ihe store
because "it's a lot healthier
than the regular stuff you get
at Wal-Mart that has all that
extra crap in it ."
Tom Park, junior in eco
nomics, said he regularly
shops at People's not only be-
cause of its organic food selec-
tion, but because it gives him
the opportunity to support lo-
cal farmers
Smith said a majority of
the store's items come from
Subway's Tuesday special discontinued
By Whitney Ho dg in
KANSAS STATK COLLEGIAN
College students love
cheap stuff, and they espe-
cially love cheap food. So
when the Subway in the K
State Student Union posted
an announcement that the
"Hooray for Tuesday" half-
price foot-long special will
end on March 24, many slu
dents were less than thrilled.
The change was made
by Subway's corporate head
quarters, said manager Rob-
ert Conner. Instead of half-
price Tuesdays, all foot -long
subs will be sold for $5 every
day.
"We're making it better!"
a poster pext to the cash reg-
ister declared, but customers
aren't so sure
Cole Mc Daniel is a
Union Recreation employee
who works near Subway in
the basement of the Union.
He said he disagrees with the
logic behind the change.
They do more business
on Tuesday than any oth-
er day because of that sale."
McDaniel, junior in business,
said "Lower prices on a dai
ly basis won't even the gap."
Conner said the Sub-
way Corp. hoped to get more
business every day instead of
just one day, but personally
he agrees with McDaniel
"I think students will hate
the change because meatball
subs and cold cuts are a very
popular Tuesday special, and
now every foot long will be
$5"
Not to worry, however.
The poster's fine print spec
ified it was for a limited time
only.

local vendors who are in-state
or just out of state.
"We have a lot of small
businesses that supply us that
we're supporting," she said
"We're able to get different
products that you might not
see in a larger store"
Smith said one of Peo-
ple's newest local products,
Anthony's Beehive, based in
Lawrence and includes natu-
ral honey, beef jerky and lip
balms.
People's also offers a
number of fair-trade goods
like coffees, teas and choco-
lates Smith said she has seen
many people concerned with
who made their food and
where it came from
"Fair trade is more eth-
ical," she said. "People mak
ing [the products] actually
get paid a fair, living wage for
their work. A lot of these peo
pie are women from devel-
oping countries, and in their
country, they don't have an
opportunity to go to college
and get a better job So we're
helping to improve the quality
of life for women and children
throughout the world."

The prices of the organ-

KANSAS STATE COLLEGIAN
Athletic director search on hold until after postseason
ByWtndyHaun
KANSAS STATE COLLEGIAN
The search for a replace-
ment for former K State ath-
letic director Tim Weiser is on
the back burner because of the
involvement of the basketball
teams in postseason play, said
Bob Krause. vice-president for
institutional advancement.
"There are so many things
going on with wrap up of bas-
ketball and the Big 12 touma-
ment coming up," Krause said
"We're currently concentrating
on that. After basketball sea-
son is over, we'll consider how
to approach this."
The new athletic direc
tor will be found and hired by
K Slate President Jon Wefald
Krause said to find a replace-
ment, K-State will utilize exec-
utive search films to find po-
lential candidates
"Many potential candi-
dates are very successfully
employed and are hesitant to
throw their names into an in-

search firm in Colorado includ-
ed him in their list to K- State
Krause said there are four or
five national firms that special-

"We're searching for
someone with a wealth of ex-

Krause said when the time is
right, the administration will
concentrate on the search.

Hard-hitting game

K- State and Washing-

Tuesday night, with the
Wildcats rolling to 9 6 vie

While there was an
above average amount of
long balls hit in Manhat-

also some good pitching as
well, most notably from the
K State bullpen, which held
Washington State to no hits
and only one base runner
for four innings.
Both teams got off to
quick starts with the Wild-
cats racking up three runs
in the bottom of the first in
ning off of two hits K- State
was also bailed out by the
Cougars defense, picking
up two of those three runs
after back to back errors by
Washington State first base-
man Jim Murphy.
K-State junior short
stop Drew Biery picked up
two of his four RBI's on
a line drive up the middle
off of starting Washington

Group aims to explain atheist ideologies, misconceptions
By Amanda Kelm
KANSAS STATE COLLEGIAN
In the heartland of the
United States, it is nearly im-
possible to escape the pleth-
ora of different religions and
faiths In Manhattan alone,
(here are more than 80
churches to tend to the resi-
dent's religious convictions
The varieties of religious be-
liefs and definitions have the
potential to overwhelm and
even frighten the most devot-
ed of followers.
* t "I agree that the majority
fit the world is fairly religious,
and that Kansas would fit
into that." said Ryan Hayden,
senior minister at University
Christian Church. "Religion
1b a structure of thought in
which you put your faith. Re-
ligion is kind of the easy way
.Out - it's easy to form a set of
^Jules to live by, but it's harder
-^o develop a relationship."
ALTERNATIVE AFFILIATION
ft With so many opportuni-
ties to develop a relationship,
some have found an alterna-
tive to a lord
Jo Ann Mooney, resident
of Kansas City, Kan., found-
ed a group called the Heart-
land Humanists, which is
based in Kansas City, Kan.,
and has a chapter at K-State,
hr September 1999. It all be
gan with an understanding
that God could not be the
ahswer to all the glitches life
has to offer, she said Rather
than turning to a higher pow-
er for support, this group of
atheists looks to logic.
"We are atheists with
a heart," Mooney said "We
consider ourselves human-
ists, which means we believe
in the community and doing
good in the community We
believe in using science and
reason to cure our problems
We live an ethical life, and we
don't need God to help us "
Though Mooney was
raised in faith, she said she
never truly felt a sense of be-
longing The same is true
of many of the members of
Heartland Humanists.
"I never personally be
lieved," Mooney said "I tried
to live my faith, and I just felt
like I was being a hypocrite
the entire time Most of our
members were raised Chris-
tian We have ex-ministers,
and as they continued their
studies and understood the
world better they realized
that they couldn't believe any
longer."
QUESTIONING FAITH
Mark Killingsworth was
one such minister While at-
tending seminary from 1980
to 1983, Killingsworth, who
ministered in Salina for a pe
riod of time, learned many
lessons through his studies
that left him questioning his
faith. Still, he continued as a
minister until 1990 when he
realized he was living a lie
"The more 1 found out
about the history of religion,
1 started to find out it was a
creation of people," he said.
"I didn't feel like 1 could
stay in the profession even
though there are a lot of min-
isters that are more liberal in
their thinking than the peo-
ple in their church because
they've studied, aa I did, how
the Bible was formed, but
they still want to be a minis-
ter 1 couldn't do that because
1 thought if they knew 1 had
changed in my thinking, they
wouldn't be able to look at
me as a minister"
Killingsworth said his
transformation, though grad-
ual, can be pinpointed to one
precise moment in his life.
While reading a book titled
"Why I Am Not a Christian"
by Bertrand Russell, Kill-
ingsworth had his final pro-
Christianity argument refut-
ed Russell questioned those
who believe God created the
universe and asked, then who
created God?
"This is the difference
between believers and non-
believers," Killingsworth said
"We don't say that we have
an answer to that question,
but we want to use science
and reason and logic to find
out what the truth ii.
"Even though there is a
predominantly Christian na-
tion, it can be traced back
to people who started it, and
there are other religions who
have different explanations
for who God is and where we
came from Whatever the an-
swers are, we want to have
proof that they're true, not
just accept it."
TROUBLE FITTING IN
The life transformation
from one with faith to one
without can become very try-
Thts art, inspired by Michelangelo's painting of "The Creation of Adam,
other instead of to God.
Illustration by Httt Schmidt | COLLEGIAN
on the Sistlne Chapel's celling, portrays people reaching out to each
ing and complicated. Though
Killingsworth still remains
close to his family and broth-
er, who still serves as a minis-
ter, Mooney said she has seen
several incidents in which in
dtviduals face an inner tur-
moil in their lives.
"It can be very hard
Christianity instills this fear
of hell, and it's a very power
ful fear in people, and to give
it up is very hard for people,"
Mooney said "Wc have a
support group for people who
are leaving the fold They also
can have serious problems
with their families: that can
be very devastating."
Mooney said one of the
greatest conversions she wit-
nessed came while she was
visiting her grandmother in
a retirement community A
woman in her 80s living in the
community sought Mooney
out and described her fears
about being different because
she did not find solace in the
Lord.
"She had a fear of being
crazy" Mooney said "She had
never been able to tell any-
one about her worries, and
she was crying on my shoul-
der because she realized that
she wasn't crazy and there
was somebody else who actu-
ally felt like she felt That was
just so hear-wrenching for me
to know that she believed she
was insane all of those years."
Even after realizing one's
atheist beliefs, many peo-
ple still have strong feelings
against atheists.
"In my life, I have re-
ceived death threats because
of my beliefs," Mooney said.
"I am fortunate that I seem
to be outspoken, and 1 am
not worried about losing my
job, but there are a number of
people who are afraid of just
thai so they 'stay in the clos-
et.'"
Hayden said he has wit-
nessed many atheists return
to the church and attempt to
re-find the Lord and them-
selves.
"I've had friends who
were atheists who are no lon-
ger atheists," he said "If peo
pie are trying to investigate
their lives, the most common
place to do that is a church
The Bible is God's authorita-
tive word, and we talk about
his perspective."
Staunch believers in God
often develop several miscon-
ceptions about atheists Kill-
ingsworth said many tend to
think that atheist is a syn-
onym for unethical or immor-
al.
"1 think that people think
we're just hedonists and that
we want to have free range to
have sex. do drugs and break
the law, and it's really not that
way at all," Killingsworth said
"We think that morality come
from the Golden Rule, which
is found in all cultures Soci
ety needs to have rules to op-
erate and most of the people
that I know in the group are
concerned about ethics and
want to be involved in change
for good in the environment
and things like that."
SUPPORT FOR HUMANISTS
The Heartland Humanists
meet four times a month to
socialize and develop a sense
of community. Mooney said
the four main activities range
from an education program
to a pot luck dinner or movie
night. |ust like a Christian
gathering, the Heartland Hu-
manists meet in a comfortable
atmosphere to build relation-
ships with one another
"1 think the main thing
people need to understand is
that just because you have a
faith in God, it doesn't mean
you are a good ethical person,
and just because you don't
have faith in God doesn't
mean you are not," Mooney
said. "The two are not con-
nected."

land Humanists — their

PEOPLi IN THE NEIGHBORHOOD
Student violinist plays in quartet, prepares for trip to Great Britain
By Sarah Burford
KANSAS S"l ATE COUHJlAN
Robyn Bramlagc. junior in
hi if arts, has been playing her
violin for about a decade. She
joined a quartet a year and a half
ua She is preparing to go to
Great Britain with the K State
Chamber Orchestra this spring
break and said she aspires to
play in a city symphony.
When did you start playing in
the quartet al K-Siale?
It was fall semester 2006, my
sophomore year. We got to-
gether because Dr. [Cora] Coo-
per - a violin professor and the
quartets coach - asked us if we
wanted to fonn a group We en-
roll in quartet just like any oth-
er class It's one credit hour We
practice on Tuesdays, and Dr.
Cooper coaches us on Thurs
days.
[Braml age's quartet is called The
Manhattan Project. Its three
other members are Laura Beth
Cochran, junior in archilcuurv.
Cody I ' ill junior in music edu-
cation, and Ransom Allen, ju-
nior in business management.]
Where has your quartet
performed?
Kadina's is probably our favorite
place to play We play for wed-
dings, luncheons, receptions,
and we've played at a public li
brary Kadina's is one of my fa-
vorite shows, 1 think it's because
all of our friends get to come to
that, which is kind of unique
And they give us free drinks,
which is wonderful It's just a
really cool atmosphere. We're
playing there at the end of the
semester on May 7 ... on my
birthday actually
What is one of your quartet's
favorite pieces to play
together?
I can't speak for the whole
group necessarily, but we have
an arrangement of the "Wa-
bash |CannonbaU]" that's real-
ly fun to play That's always en-
joyable. And Cody's done an
arrangement of "Eleanor Rig-
by" that's fun to play We like
the staple pop tunes As far as
classical pieces, une of my fa
vorites is Dvorak's "American
String Quartet'' that we played
last semester It's really a staple
in siring quartet literature
What do you like best about
playing with the quartet or the
orchestra?
It's a unique tiling to share with
each other - making music to-
gether And a quartet is such a
relationship with the group. You
really have to learn to listen to
each other and read each other's
signals in order to play music to-
gether in a chamber orchestra
setting. So the fact that we're all
really good friends helps a lot
with that
How long have you been play-
ing the violin?
For 10 years. It sounds so weird
to say that I can't really remem
ber not playing Well, 1 guess I
can remember the lovely years
of fourth and fifth grade when I
didn't have to practice,
Is there something about
playing the violin that you like
moat?
I like playing in the orches-
tra and quartet the most The
friendships I've made over the
years I was thinking about
my close friends, and through
most of my life. I've had a lot of
close friends that I've met in or-
chestra. It's a really neat bond
to share with people I think it's
cool that it's something you can
start playing in grade school,
and continue through college
With something like sports, you
have a peak period where un-
less you're going to be super
serious you can't play in col-

Robyn
Bramlept,
Junior in fine
arts, plays
her violin in
the courtyard
Monday night
inside McCain
Auditorium.
lege But it's neat that most of
us in the K State orchestra aren't
even music majors, but we can
still keep playing. It's not really
about the violin itself - it's play-
ing the violin.
And you are going to Great
Britain with the orchestra for
spring break?
We 're going to Engl and and Scot
land, and we'll be there for about
10 days We're paving for the
trip by ourselves, but we are re-
ceiving some university support
from a few donors, and we fund-
raise at the concerts. This is the
first year that we've ever charged
admission at the concerts. Usu-
ally they're free, but this year
there is a suggested donation to
help with the trip. We're going
through a touring group called
Music Celebrations.
Where are you going to play in
Great Britain?
We have four different venues
where we're playing, so we're
kind of doing a little tour, but
mostly we're going for fun.
We're playing at several church-
es They are places that the
touring company has set up.
What arc you most excited
about for the trip?
Just to get away from school,
and I know as a quartet, we're
excited to see each other more.
This year our schedules haven't
lined up very well, and we
haven't gotten to see each oth-
er as much, so it will be neat to
have an entire week to bond
again. It will also bring us clos-
er together as an orchestra as a
whole And I've never been out
of the country, so I'm just look-
ing forward to the experience
That's probably the part I'm

Nick Cave to write a book
As his new alburn, 'Dig!!! Uzarus,
■m'" k set to take its plan amongst
his finest work, Nick taw has exclusively
revealed to Xfm radio that not only has
he completed another screenplay but a
new novel is in the pipeline too.
following the success of his first
screenplay, 2006 s "The Proposition"' Cave
confirmed that he completed another
uript tor the film's director
"t have written a another one for
IJotin Hillcoat] the director oHtie Propo-
sitionbut I don't know when that'll get
done I keep getting asked to do these
things but for one reason or another I've
been kind of not doing them. . but there
are certainly things in the pipeline "
When asked if he plans to write
another novel — 20 yean after the
publication of his debut, 'And The Ass
Saw The Angel' —Cave replied: "I do,
actually, yeah"
Although the singer declined to elabo
rate as to what ttie story might be, he
said- "I don't want to kind of spook that
away but I've definitely been thinking in
those terms lately. I just know the way
things happen — you get a little idea
about something and it then starts to
grow and that seems to be happening."
NKk Cave ft The Bad Seeds' 14th
studio album, 'Dig!! Lazarus, Dig!! 1 ' is out
now on Mute and the band play a sold
out UK tour In May.
Artist reveals Timberlake
sessions were therapeutic
Madonna has revealed she found
writing songs with Justin Timberlake
therapeutic.
The pop superstar— who turns SO in
August - worked with Justin Timberlake
on her upcoming album "Hard Candy,"
and says the sessions were "intimate" and
"psychoanalytical"
She said: "I really enjoy writing with
Justin. We had psychoanalytic sessions
whenever we wrote songs first That was
the only way, because you know, writing
together with somebody is very intimate
— that was fun because he's open and
he's got talent.
"We'd sit down and wed start talking
about situations. And then we'd start
talking about issues or problems or
relationships with people. We had to find
a place to start talking about something
we cared about.
"I haven't worked with a lot of song -
writers where I'm instantly connected
and start riffwg and playing with the
rhythm of the words He's as interested
m the rhythm of words as the meaning
of words."
Madonna also spoke about adopting
her son David Band a from Malawi in Oc-
tober 2006 — a decision which caused
controversy around the world.
Lisa Marie Presley sues
over fat comment
Singer Lisa Marie Presley is suing
the UK's Daily Mail for libel over
publishing an article alleging she is
overweight.
The 40 year old daughter of Elvis
Presley said the story, which was
widely republished worldwide, forced
her to confirm she is expecting a baby.
Her UK laywer Simon Smith said
claims that she had an "unhealthy
appetite" and is "growing like her dad"
had left the star "deeply upset and
offended"

Graphic novels educate and entertain with comic edge
By Whitney Hodgln
Graphic novels are the lucky medium that
can amuse adult readers with both words and
illustrations. And if done right, they convey all
the imagination without the cheesincss of tra-
ditional comic books This hand-picked list is
a sample of underground comic book writers
who took full advantage of the creative free-
dom that graphic nuvels provided them.
TRANSMETROPOLITAN" WRITTEN BY
WARREN ELLIS, ILLUSTRATED BY DARICK
ROBERTSON
Spider Jerusalem is a journalist observing
America during an era when the people truly
fear their government more than the govern-
ment fears its people The text is enough to ig-
nite a patriotism more authentic than current
political fodder, but immaculately realistic il-
lustrations will take a reader that much further
into the notso-distant political nightmare. This
journalist (based on the late Hunter S. Thomp-
son) takes his job seriously, threatening poli-
ticians with "The Truth" and if all else fails, a
bowel-dismptor ray gun
PERSEPOLIS'BY MARJANE SATRAPI
This autobiographical series about Marjane
Satrapi's experience in Iran during the 1979
Iranian Revolution is at once a stark account of
a commonly misunderstood culture and a mis-
understood teenager. Satrapi offers the world
an opportunity to empathize with her point of
view as a pacifist Iranian, using hand -drawn
black and white illustrations of her memories.
It was adapted for a movie which was released
in the United States last December, and won

"THE LOST GIRLS"WRITTEN BY
ALAN MOORE, ILLUSTRATED
BYMEUNDAGEBBIE
The three - volume
boxed series is based
on adult versions
of classic female
literary charac-
ters in adult sit-
uations Wendy
from "Peter Pan,'
Alice from "Alice
in Wonderland," and
Dorothy from "The Wiz-
ard of Oz" meet and treat
each other to stories from
their past sex lives In response
to critics who claim the graph-
ic novel is pornographic. Moore
and wife, Gebbie, agree in the affirma-
tive, but they argue that while sex per-
vades society, hardcore erotic art has been
inhibited by social taboos. Moore also wrote
two graphic novels that were made into mov-
ies: "League of Extraordinary Gentlemen," and
"V for Vendetta," though he denied having any-
thing lo do with the Hollywood versions of his
literary endeavors Another of his graphic nov-
els, "Watchmen," continues to be a strong influ-
ence in the genre.
"THE R. CRUMB HANDBOOK'
CRUMB
BYR.
In terms of graphic novels. Robert Crumb
is a style icon. His unapologelic doodlings
drew a new path for graphic novels when he
emerged in the 1960s He has illustrated hun-
dreds of covers for magazines, other com-
ic books, full-length comic strips and person-
al notebooks He had a bevy of his infamous
"Keep on Truckin'" swag produced in his hon-
or. His love of powerful women is a running
theme in his expansive collection, which con-
tains many instances of lewd subject matter
but also reveals depictions of an imperfect, re-
alistic world of ugliness, beauty, obsession and
growth

A perpetually pessimistic Pekar

graphic novels when he began
documenting random insights Into his life as a
file clerk His dismal life translated well into
witty and self-loathing reflections that enter-
tained readers who identified with him or just
pitied the Bohemian super-downer. Crumb il-
lustrated several issues of the series, though dif
ferent artists lent their hand to Pekar's scowl-

"M AUS : A SURVIVOR'S TALE" BY ART
SPIEGELMAN
This cat and mouse story, centered around
a fewish man's plight to survive the Holocaust,
received a Pulitzer Prize in 1992 for its depic-
tion of the unimaginable acts of Nazi Germany
in World War II. As with George Orwell's nov-
el "Animal Farm," each character is symbolized
by an animal representing a different race. In
this instance, cats are Nazis and mice are Jews.
Unearthing emotions that history books don't
touch, Spiegelman humanized the animalistic
nature of history and its resounding effects on
the next generations.

AIRPORT | Air travel to expand
to jet services by end of year -
Jonathan Knight | COLLEGIAN
The Manhattan airport is considering expanding its service to include more commercial flights in and Out
of Manhattan.
Continued from Pjgt 1
the city ul Manhattan's Web
site, Great Lakes will expand
flight services to Kansas City.
There will be three flights a day
to Kansas City, seven days a
week starting March 30 Mesa
only provided three flights per
day five days per week with
the previous contract.
Great Lakes will add two
flights to Denver every day as
well.
Strawn said the change of
providers is tint the only ex-
pansion at the Manhattan air-
port
"There is a way, way big-
ger story in the ability of the
airport to attract jet service,"
he said.
"The state of Kansas cur-
rently has legislation pending
that will assist Manhattan in
attracting a regional jet carrier
into our airport," Strawn said.
"Essentially the state is going
to underwrite the revenue of
that airline by Si million per
year in subsidy payments."
Strawn said the legislation
is being completed during this
legislative session and should
be voted on by June. Strawn
said he thinks there will be a
jet service running by the end
of 2008.
He said the regional jet
service out of Manhattan
would fly to the Dallas/Port
Worth area or Chicago
Strawn said the jet service
is necessary to attract the Na-
tional Bio- and Agro-Defense
Facility
There will not be any im-
mediate changes to the airport
or any of the facilities, but a
restaurant and a few hangers
might be added in the future,
based on need, Strawn said".
A big draw for people-us-
ing the Manhattan airport is
free parking and less money
spent on gas, Strawn said. The
city does not plan to change
the free parking even when
the airport gets jet service,, he
said.

KENDALL
HALL
It's that time of year
when thoughts of wanner
weather are tormented by the
reality of 25
degree tem-
perature!. I
don't know
how many
timet in the
last month
I've aaid, "1
wish it was
summer."
However,
I'm not phys-
ically pre-
pared for bi-
kini season quite yet
Many students, like my-
self, have various fitness goals
[TIT mind right now Wheth-
er it's losing those last three
pounds before spring break or
toning your beach body before
summer, here are some strate-
gies to help reach your goals.
The spring-break light
is now at the end of a tun-
nel, but your beer gut might
be blocking the rays. At this
point, be honest with yourself
Your fitness goals should only
be two pounds a week.
In order to maximize
your downsize, you need to
hit cardio hard and eat bet-
ter. If you can stand sweating
it out on the elliptical for an
hour every day, do it. If not,
do what you can - every lit-
tte bit counts. Trying to build
muscle mass this late in the
game is pretty futile, but if you
can cut your body fat a little,
the muscle you do have will
show.
Eating right is also impor-
tant You can cut about 500
calories from your diet each
day and still be healthy You
might be cranky, but you need
to decide what your idea of
looking good is and how im-
portant it is for your vacation
You should know whether
your biggest downfall is por-
tion size or junk-food con-
trol. Try writing down every-
thing you eat, with the serving
size and calories; for the time
period you are trying to lose
weight. This habit will help
you stay mindful of your in-
take and make you less likely
to snack on extras 1 also rec-
ommend getting a nutrition
analysis done This lets a nu-
trition professional give you
specific tips and guidelines on
where to change your diet to
meet your goals
If you have a couple of
months to work out, you
should do the same activi-
ties in smaller doses since you
have the chance to lose more
weight and build more mus-
cle. However, you should still
incorporate extensive cardie
into your routine if weight loss
is your main priority
Start by writing down a
goal that is realistic yet chal-
lenging for you For exam
pie, if you haven't seen your
tennis shoes since last Sep
tember, then an hour of car-
dio four days a week might be
too much to begin with. Start
small, and add intensity and
duration as you go.
Incorporating strength
training is also important be-
cause it will build muscle as
well as burn calories. Person-
al trainers can develop a pro-
gram (or you based on your
goats, or if you know the ba-
sics of weight training, you
can design something on your
own
Remember, the rule to
losing weight is pretty simple:
Move more, eat less While
setting your goals in incre-
ments is the best way to tackle
a large fitness plan, sometimes
it's just not realistic with our
lifestyles. Keep in mind that
in order to maintain a healthy
weight, regular diet and exer-
cise are still vitally important

CENTER | Student introduces new recycling plan
Continued from Pagr 1
than 800 square feet of space
and is in need of repair Its
funding comes from the cus-
todial general budget.
K STATE COMPARED TO
OTHER BIG 12 UNIVERSI-
TIES
Of the Big 12 universities
that Thersell researched, the
University of Texas, I he Uni-
versity of Colorado, and the
University of Kansas have
lop-ranked facilities with
feasible operation situations
similar to K- State's.
KU's recycling director
said KU earns about $50,000
in revenue per year by auc-
tioning its rccyclables to the
highest bidder in the state,
according to Thorsell'* pro
posal. KU collects about
$202,000 per year from stu-
dents - which amounts to
$3.75 per student per semes-
ter - to fund its three recy-
cling buildings The universi-
ty purchased a baler and con
veyor in 2006 with $66,782
from the Solid Waste Com-
petitive Plan Implementa-
tion Grant Awards. KU's re-
cycling program employs one
full-time administrator, three
full-time skilled trade work-
ers, and 10 students
Colorado's non-prof-
it program recycles the most
in the Big 12, and its student
population is only 10 to 20
percent larger than K Slate's
- about the same as KU's pop-
ulation The university recy-
cled 1,250 tons of goods cam-
pus-wide and earned $85,000
in revenue last year The pro-
gram's 31 student employ-
ees provide most of the labor
and can earn academic cred-
it for their work. Jack Debell.
Colorado's recycling director,
said, as documented in Thor-
sell's proposal.
Colorado students invest
$192,000 each year in their
recycling program, which
amounts to $3.40 per student
per semester. The adminis-
tration covers the remain-
ing costs. Colorado saves an
annual $500,000 in disposal
cost through its recycling pro-
gram, and has a net savings of
$235,000 It diverts about 35
40 percent of its waste into
composting and recycling.
Thorsell said recycling
programs like Colorado's and
KU's work well because they
have comprehensive plans -
the university knows what it
will be doing several years
down the road.
"The main point is to
have a plan." Thorsell said.
"Before you have a facility,
you need to have a strategy
on campus for how you're go-
ing to use it"
A NEW PLAN
Since the current over-
haul of K-State's recycling
program is still a new idea.
Woods said he does not yet
have a comprehensive plan.
"We are now in the pro-
cess of making plans for this
facility," Woods said
Woods said the universi-
ty has started expanding the
recycling program through
grant money from the Kansas
Department of Health and
Environment. Several years
ago, the university bought
two trailers tor rccyclables at
Jardine and the football sta-
dium Woods said he plans to
apply for more grants as soon
as they become available
In 2006, K-Slate received
money from the city/universi-
ty fund to buy a $70,000 truck
to transport recyclables and
is now purchasing $36,000
worth of large containers to
collect recyclables From the
new desk-side containers
Rawson said the univer
sity will receive a down-pay-
ment of $106,100 in 2009,
which will be used to design
the facility. He said the new
program will help avoid the
cost of taking waste to the
landfill, and it will increase
revenue K-State will be able
to better sort and bale recy-
clables to auction them off
"All in all, it's well worth
the effort.' Rawson said
In the executive summary
of his recycling prugram pro-
posal, Thorsell stated obtain-
able goals for K State's "fresh
start " Thorsell suggested that
K-State's recycling program
separate from the facilities
department and become a
nonprofit organization called
■Recycling and Waste Mini-
mization Program." Under the
proposed system, an adminis-
trative manager would over-
see student volunteers- This
program is similar to Colora-
do's recycling program.
Woods said one K-State
employee is currently in
charge of recycling for the
entire campus However, he
said he would gladly hire any
students who were interest
ed
Thorsell also suggest-
ed that the major student or-
ganizations work together
to expand the recycling pro-
gram "The Association of Res
idence Halls would have a
structured system within the
residence halls and Jardine
Apartments, according to the
proposal.
Rawson said he sees
the new program stretching
across the entire campus, in-
cluding residence halls. Jar-
dine and possibly parts of the
city and greek housing.
"We'll see how it evolves.'
Rawson said
Thorsell proposed the
campus program provide fra-
ternities and sororities with
curb-side recycling He also
suggested placing recycling
bins in easily accessible areas
in each campus building.
Thorsell said the original
recycling goals established in
2001 need to be redeveloped,
and the campus needs to have
a comprehensive strategy for
achieving them.
"I think we're off and
running on how to operate
the thing - it's just getting
the [building.] built," Rawson
said
BINS | Success relies
on using proper bins
Continued from P*g*1
recycling centers on the
ground floors of most of the
buildings Woods said it is
important to only put recy-
cled items in these bins in
order to maintain a success-
ful recycling program.
"If they use them as
trash, it creates problems
for us," he said "It's then
nut sorted and it becomes
trash, which cannot be recy-
cled"
Woods said the new
bins will help produce a
much larger amount of re
cycling material. Whatever
objecis students, faculty and
staff throw away, it can be
recycled, which is the ulti-
mate goal, he said.
Woods has worked with
Thorsell on the recycling is-
sue and said his efforts toTe-
vamp the recycling program
on campus has captured 4be
attention of administrators
Woods said administrators
were probably aware of the
issue before, but there's a
difference when a student
raises the concern _I
In response. Thorsell
said he is pleased admin
istrators like Woods, have
been receptive and open to
change and improvement*,
"I'm just thankful tmji
our administrators take time
out of their busy days to «lt
down with students and lis
ten to them," Thorsell said
"We are very fortunate, and
I think if I would have done
this two years ago, their re-
action would have been Tin
different, 1 '

Sprint Center provides new venue for Big 1 2 tournament
By Wendy H»un
KANSAS *TAT8 COLLEGIAN
The new Kansas City, Mo.,
dinricl, Power and Light, will
be tested this week as teams
anil fans from the farthest
reaches of the Big 12 Confer-
enct- will visit the downtown
artu
With the Sprint Center
construction which was com-
pleted Oct 10, 2007 - multi-
ple new businesses moved into
the area Thirteen new rcstau
rants opened their doors and
several big-name artists have
performed at the Sprinl Cen-
ter since its opening, including
Elton John, Garth Brooks and
Hannah Montana
This year's Big 12 Tour-
nament will have a test run
through Kansas City Next year
the tournament will return to
Oklahoma City's Ford Cen-
ter, but the Sprinl Center has
bwn lapped to play host to the
tournament in 2010 and 201 1
The entire purpose of the facil
ity was to replace Kemper Are
na, which has become outdat-
ed, said Shani Tate-Koss, di-
rector of communications and
marketing for the Sprint Cen-
ter
"The Sprint Center was
constructed because Kansas
Cit\ needed an up-to-date are-
na," Tale- Ross said. "The tech-
nology has changed, as well as
ante (lilies Kansas Cily voters
decided in Aug 2004 lo build
anew arena for the region "
» Tale Ross said Ihe Sprint
C&iUT'it localioii was cho-
sen because of the proximity
to several basketball confer
ences. as well as lo Lawrence,
where Lhe game was invented
"It has a great location
and access in tfnni oJ being a
centralized location for sever-
al of the schools in Ihe Big 12,"
she said
One of the main attrac-
tions is the College Basketball
Experience, which is in a build
ing joined lo the Sprint Center.
It is described on its Web site,
www.collegebasketbaltcxpen
ence.com, as a "41,500 square
foot facility with two floors of
the most unique and enter-
taining private function space
in Kansas City" ll includes the
National Collegiate Basketball
Hall of Fame.
"Those throughout lhe re-
gion who haven't had Ihe op-
portunity I" visit will see what
a great facility i! is." Tale- Ross
said "It's interactive and ed-
ucational as well It'll he jam
packed"
In order to prepare for the
tournament, the Sprint Center
employees have- had to work

WORST to
K-State becomes only
team in Big 12 history
to go from bottom
to No. 1 seed
By Mike DeVadc i
KANSAS MA) tLOLLtlilAN
With the Baylor Bears
losing lu Oklahoma Stale last
Thursday, 72-68, the K Slate
women's basketball team
achieved something no squad
in Big 12 women's basket-
ball had ever done - go from
worst to first in one year
"It's a great feeling," said
senior guard Kimberly Dielz,
"We have great talent and we
worked hard this year"
Dietz said she doesn't be-
lieve what people say when
they think K Stale was truly
the worst team in the confer-
ence just a year ago.
"We fought hard last
year, we just didn't finish,"
Dietz said. I don't think we
were the worst team last year
because we have the same
players"
A player who might have
been a big contributor to K-
Stale s demise a year ago was
junior forward Marlies Gip-
son.
A knee injury ended her
season with 18 games to go,
but for her and the rest of the
Wildcats, the end of this year
had a much better feci to it.
"This definitely shows the
hard work we put in." Gipson
said "We just kept fighting"
She was on the bench
when her teammates were
struggling last year, but this
season was a complete turn-
around, as she was able to
help K-State earn a confer-
ence championship
"It was hard watching
and not being able to play
last year," Gipson said "It's
a blessing to be able to play
this year."
K-State finished as the
worst team in the confer
enec last year but played well
in the Women's NIT Junior
guard Shalee Lehning said
she believes the worst teams
in the conference could han-
dle themselves in the big
dance
■ I would take the worst
teams in the Big 12 into the
NCAA and they would win,"
Lehning said "Last year, we
were searching for our roles
because when you lose a
player you have to adjust"
The Wildcats didn't have
to make the drastic adjust
men ts> hecMlM Ol injuria tht)
year like they did last season,
which Lehning said proves
how crucial injuries to star
players can affect a team's
success
'its amazing how one
player can make a difference,"
Lehning said There's just
an extra comfort level when
Marlies is on the floor*
The K-State players might
not like the label of being the
worst team in the Big 12 last
year, but it did happen They
weren't picked to be a con-
tender for the title this year.
either.
K State was predicted to
finish eighth in the preseason
poll.
The Wildcats were able
to prove they could fight ad-
versity and win, something
coach Deb Patterson said she
admires about the team
"Their legacy is as
strong as any team I've ever
coached," Patterson said
"Winning a championship at
this level can take athletes
their whole careers, and our
team did it in one year."

Tough schedule will benefit
young Wildcats in NCAA bids
JONATHAN
WRIGHT
With the NCAA set to
commence its annual tourna-
ment in less than two weeks.
65 teams will
gv into the
Big Dance
with the
hupe that all
f their reg-
ular season
success will
pay off. as
icy attempt
tu make a
run at the
Final Four.
Some teams
ely on experience, while
ther teams rely on a tough
chcdule And others simply
civ on talent alone.
Though this year's team
s terribly inconsistent, the
Vildcats have one often-
>u'Hooked advantage: they
jlayod an incredibly difficult
chedule, especially for such
i young and inexperienced
cam
*ION-CONFERENCE
CHEDULE
The deciding factor be-
ween being in the N IT and
he NCAA Tournament last
eason was K State's non-
onference schedule. Former
oach Bob Muggins had to
lea! with a weak non-confer-
ence schedule and hope that
(State would amass a lot of
i-ins and pad its resume. The
>lan backfired; though the
Wildcats mostly won. quali-
y wins did not exist Huggins
nd current coach Frank Mar
in set out to change that at
he season's end.
The Wildcats began this
cason with several poor
cams, including Sacramen-
o State and Pittsburg State.
Utcr defeating Western I Hi
nois 77-64, the Wildcats be-
gan a grueling 18-day stretch
that involved two to urn a
ments and seven games. Not
only did the quick turnaround
between games help simu
late an NCAA Tournament at-
mosphere, but several of K-
Statc's opponents are quail
ly learns that will join K-State
during March Madness
Although K-State didn't
win many of these contests,
by simply playing Oregon.
Notre Dame, George Mason
and California, K-State got
a first-hand view of what it
takes to be an NCAA Touma
menl team
After defeating Winston-
Salem Stale and Wagner, the
Wildcats traveled to Cincin
nati for its toughest test dur-
ing the non -conference sched-
ule against Xavier before con-
cluding with Savannah State.
The nun conference
schedule produced 10 wins
for the Wildcats, including
one against a then-undefeated
California team, and only four
losses
CONFERENCE SCHEDULE
Each year, a huge factor
in deciding the tournament
field is the Rating Percentage
Index (RPI), which basical-
ly combines a team's winning
percentage, its opponents' av-
erage winning percentage and
its opponents' opponents'
winning percentage to get an
overall number for each col-
lege basketball team The
same is done for conferences.
The Big 12 Conference
has the second highest RPI
of 0.5703. just behind the At
lantic Coast Conference at
0.5776. This makes the Big
12 the second-strongest con-
ference in basketball, virtual-
ly guaranteeing it at least five
teams in the NCAA Tourna-
ment This year, it looks like
six teams will get in. All K-
State really had to do was
pick up some quality wins and
finish in the top five or six
The Wildcats did more
than that. Not only did K
State finish 10-6 and earn
third place in the Big 12, but
the Wildcats picked up sev
era I quality resume wins -
Oklahoma, Texas A&M and
K l. - to supplement its strong
non -conference schedule Sat
urday's win at Iowa Slate es-
sentially guaranteed the re-
state its first berth in the Big
Dance since 1996
By playing against and
having success in the second-
toughest conference in the
NCAA, the freshman -heavy
Wildcats got to experience
the best that college basket-
ball has to offer night in and
night-out giving them the in-
tangibles necessary to make
a serious run in the tourna
menl,
With a No 19-rankcd
strength of schedule, a learn
RPI of 42 and quality wins
over four tournament teams,
it's hard to say that the Wild-
cats won't do well in the
NCAA Tournament. Although
remarkably inconsistent, this
year's team is tremendous-
ly talented and is now battle-
tested. Every year in the par
ody that is March Madness,
a Cinderella team always ris-
es above expectations and
makes a deep run, and this
year just might be the Wild-
cats' turn.

journalism. Pleate tend comment t to

to extend season into March Madness
JOE
BERGKAMP
The 16-round fight
might be over for the Wild-
cats, but what will ultimate-
ly determine
the success
of this team
ies ahead.
Frank Mar
tin's Big
12 Confer-
ence sea
son strate-
gy - that the
next game
is the most
important
game on
your schedule - has served
Is purpose of keeping this
young basketball team fo
cused on the task at hand
While K State was able
Q win ten of those rounds,
he biggest ones in this fight
are yet to come, and while a
national championship is the
ultimate goal, this team will
have to use the same mental-
ity when traveling to Kansas
City, Mo., this weekend for
the Big 12 Conference Tour-
Inamenl.
It will be important
for the Wildcats to stay fo-
cused because being a No.
3 seed places a bull's eye on
their backs. With Ihe con-
gestion of the middle of the
Big 12 standings, it will also
be important for the Wild-
cats to approach these games
as ihey have all year As it
stands right now, the Wild-
cats will match up against
Ihe winner between Texas
A&M and Iowa State
Earlier this season,
K-Slate easily look care of
business with the Aggies,
cruising to a 20 point blow-
out victory at home The al
ternative is a rematch with a
team that just gave the Wild-
cats everything they could
handle this past Saturday
The Cyclones might be strug-
gling this season, but it still
has players who could post-
problems for the Wildcats if
Ihe business like approach is
abandoned, lilt her way, the
Wildcats are in for a tough
weekend, which could either
help ihcir NCAA tournament
stock or seal their fale of an
other disappointing post-
season A good performance
this weekend could improve
K-State's seeding, possibly all
the way up to a No 4 seed
With senior guards Cleni
Stewart and Blake Young
leading the team, it has been
helpful for the lineup, which
includes three to four fresh-
men on the court at near-
ly any given lime Martin has
had to rely heavily on his se-
nior leaders to help guide
the young team, and there
are no signs that th situa-
tion will be any different this
weekend.
H will be important for
K-State to use the same ap-
proach for the Big 12 Tour-
nament that they have used
throughout the season. In
NCAA basketball, the month
of March is known for its
Cinderella stories, so it will
be important for K-State to
keep track of and stay on lop
of opponents.

encourage
smoking
ban in city
By Monica Castro
KANSAS STATE COLLEGIAN
Student Governing Asso-
ciation executives will lead a
forum to encourage a smok-
ing ban in all workplaces and
public buildings in Manhattan
from noon to 1 p.m. today.
Malt Wagner, SGA stu-
dent body president, said he
encourages the city to be-
come a smoke -free environ
ment, because students are a
part of the community.
"This should be some
thing of interest for the stu-
dents in establishments who
deal with [smoking]," Wagner
said.
Wagner said he encour-
ages everyone to take a look
at the smoke-free petition be-
cause it is an issue that affects
almost everyone.
The SGA executive
branch members said they are
pushing for this ban because
they want to look after the
well-being of students and the
community.
"This is important to us
because of the health risk to
students when they are out in
the community, and also six
of the 12 Big 12 schools are in
some way smoke-free," Wag-
ner said.
Wagner said the SGA
has researched and has facts
and knowledge about the is
sue and feels more confident
to push the subject across to
Students and the community
more effectively.
"[We] wanted to make
sure we had facts and figures
together before we pushed it,"
Wagner said "We didn't want
to push this if we didn't have
the facts."
The panel also will in-
clude experts and Manhattan
business owners.
"We sought out to find
people who were knowl-
edgeable of the situation and
smoking issues to speak in
the panel," Wagner said "We
picked the most qualified in-
dividuals"

Students often have the feeling that domestic and
international students consistently fail to come
together as a single K-5tate community,
Many American, international students fail to interact
By Holly Campbell
KANSAS STATE COLLEGIAN
This is the first articles in a
four -part series investigating the
disconnect among certain student
demographics on campus
K State is home to students
from all over the world, giving
American students easy access to a
variety of cultures However, some
on campus said they think domes
tic and international students con-
sistently fail to come together as a
single K State community
Daniel Aguilar, doctoral stu-
dent in sociology, said the con-
cerns about the lack of commu-
nication between domestic and
international students led him to
question the student government
presidential candidates regarding
their views on the international
community at K-State, prior to the
spring SGA primaries
"1 asked them, what was their
plan to create a link between both
communities?" Aguilar said. "I
think there is a disconnection be
tween both communities, unfortu
natcly"
After arriving at K- State, in-
ternational students might not be
quick to become friends with do-
mestic students because coming to
new a country can be intimidat-
ing, Aguilar said
"The first reaction you have
is to go look for the people who
come from the same background."
he said.
K-Stale International Coor-
dinating Council President Len-
ka Hadamova. graduate student
in education from the Czech Re-
public, agreed and said alt peo-
ple have the same instincts to stay
within their comfort zones.
"You tend to socialize with
people of your social group or
your ethnic group or your state
group," Hadamova said. "It's the
easiest thing to do."
Dealing with "the other" -
meaning anything unusual or out
of the ordinary - also can make
American students uncomfortable
to try and understand people from
different backgrounds, said Brad
ley Shaw, associate professor of
modem languages and director of
international and area studies in
the College of Arts and Sciences.
"I think that we are some-
times a little hesitant or a little
reticent when we're dealing with
things that we don't understand or
don't know," Shaw said
On campus, Aguilar said he
thought hesitation on both sides -
domestic and international - has
led to many international students
not having a real connection with
ihe rest of the study body
"1 think the whole diseonnec
tion is just a lack of communica
tit in. honestly," he said
An example of this can be
seen at internationally themed
events on campus, which often
lack participation from American
students, he said.
Internationa] Week, held an-
nually during spring semester, is
a weeklong series of events spon-
sored by the International Coordi-
nating Council, which are intend-
ed to allow international students
to share their cultures with the
campus and community, Hadam-
ova said
In the past, internation-
al Week has gone unnoticed by
many American students, perhaps
because they were simply unaware
of what was being offered by inter-
national groups, Aguilar said.
"Many people don't go to that
type of event because they have
no idea what's going on," Aguilar
said.
Americans can become more
involved in diverse events just by
meeting a single international stu-
dent
"I don't think it's an issue that
they don't care," she said "I think
once you've found your interna-
tional person, it's much easier to
be invited or to find out about
events."
Because of budget restric-
tions, promoting international
events to the Manhattan commu-
nity has been difficult, but the In-
ternational Coordinating Council
has

K-State-Salina campus to open new student life center
-i
By Sheila EMI*
KANSAS STATE COLLEGIAN
Most students at K-State
could not picture campus with-
out the student union It is the
go-to place for lunch, a hang
out for in-between classes and
another place for recreation.
However, just an hour down
the road on the K-State Sali
na campus, this convenience is
not available for students
After more than 20 years
of planning, Salina finally re-
ceived a state approval to start
construction of the new $5.9
million Student Life Center -
providing a much needed hub
for student life on campus.
The center, scheduled to
open in July 2009, will pro-
vide a place for students and
members of the Salina com-
munity to meet, develop lead-
ership skills, maintain physical
health and promote academic
achievement, said K-State Sali-
na dean Dennis Kuhlman
The need for a student
center was initiated in the mid-
1980s before K-State Salina
existed The master plan con-
tinued to develop and change
through the Kansas Technical
Institute merger with K-State
in 1991. When Kuhlman was
appointed dean of K-State Sali-
na in 1997, he responded to
student's concerns and began
to actively pursue the creation
of a student life center
Kulhman said the aca
demic buildings and residence
halls are located on the north
side of campus, while the rec
reation center is a mile south of
campus He noted this distance
was a complaint of many stu-
dents.
'What we're missing is a
gathering place for just social
life, to visit and just hang out,"
Kulhman said.
On the K State Salina
campus, most students hang
out at the library, Kuhlman
said
■[ don't think on K State's
campus in Manhattan Hale li-
brary is the student hub," he
said, jokingly
The new center, which is
being funded by student fees
and corporate funds from
alumni and private donors,
will include a basketball gym-
nasium, racquet ball handball
courts, a cardiovascular area,
free weights, aerobic/fitness
areas, a second- level running
track, administrative offices
and ample relaxation areas
Kuhlman said the recre-
ation center on the Salina cam-
pus will be sold, and the new
student life center will house
exercise equipment.
The new center will serve
as a focal point on campus, just
as Anderson Hall does in Man
hattan, he said. The center will
help increase student enroll-
ment and ultimately help the
city of Salinas economic de-
velopment
According to K-State Me
dia Relations, Ihe student body
at Salina consists of approxi
mately 1,000 students There
are also 125 faculty and staff
The community in Sali-
na have been quite helpful
and supportive in the process,
Kuhlman said An architcc
ture firm in town even donated
their time to help develop the
center
Doug Zerr, K State Sali-
na 's student body president,
said the project has been an
"uphill battle," but he said he is
happy thai the fruits of their la-
bors are finally starting to ma
terializc He credits Kuhlman
for taking student concerns
to heart and Mark Priesen, K-
State Salinas foundation lo-
cal agency director, for dealing
with the monetary aspect.
Zerr said he got involved
with SGA because he knew he
could make a change on cam-
pus - one big change being

UGB, Varney's scholarship
deadline today at 5 p.m.
By Sheila Ellis
, KANSAS STATE C.OLLH.IA N
The Student Union Gov-
erning Board and Varney's
Bookstore are offering a
$1,000 scholarship to alle-
viate some nl the financial
hardships pari -lime students
at K-Statc encounter
The deadline is today at
5 p.m. Applications can be
picked up in the Union Di-
rector's Office on the second
flopr of the K Slate Student
Union and should be dropped
off at the same location.
Students who are en-
rolled in less than 12 credit
hours are eligible to apply.
The scholarship will be
awarded in two $500 incre-
ments, one for each semester
A committee from the UGB
will decide on the winner af-
ter spring break
The scholarship is en
dowed by a percentage of the
total monthly sales from the
Union Bookstore and its op-
erating contractor, University
Hookstnre Inc , said Bernard
Pitts, assistant vice president
of the Union.
The UGB created this
scholarship in 2004 to help
part-time students who face
many challenges that are
not shared by their full-time
counterparts
"Varney's has been very
cooperative and understands
they are partners in higher
education," Pitts said.
Pitts said the intent of the
scholarship is to encourage
part-time students who have
to work full-time jobs - or
have family obligations that
prohibit them from being a
full-time student - to partic-
ipate in student life programs
the Union offers.
"We want part -lime stu-
dents to experience the full
collegiate experience," Pitts
said "We are hoping that
this scholarship would relieve
some of the pressure and al-
low them to participate."
K-State Student Union
Bookstore Manager, Steve
Levin, said the partnership
wilh the Union has been
great
"We realize that part
time students often strug-
gle with jobs, families and
kids," Levin said "This schol-
arship is a way to help them
not worry about finances and
concentrate on studies."

Ron Paul's dedication to improving U.S
respectable despite impending loss

JESSICA
HEN 5 LEY
Down, but not out. Rep. Ron
Paul, R-Texas, announced Mon
day on CNN's American Morn
ing" he will cun
tinue in his pur-
suit of the Re-
publican nom-
ination despite
knowing abso-
lutely no chance
of winning
"If you're
in a campaign
for only gain-
ing power, that's
one thing," Paul
said "If you're
in a campaign to
influence ideas and the future of
the country, the campaign is never
over"
Two days after Sen John Mc-
Cain, R Ariz , became the Repub
lie an Party's presumptive nomi
nee, Paul spoke in a video post-
ed on YouThbexom about his rea-
sons for staying in the race
"Though victory in the con-
ventional political sense is not
available in the presidential
race, many victories have been
achieved due to your hard work
and enthusiasm," he said "We
must remember elections are
short-term efforts Revolutions are
long- term projects"
Paul, though far too right
wing for my personal tastes, is a
refreshing change from the more
politically fickle candidates who
have dominated the presidential
primaries thus far Both his words
and his actions speak of a genuine
desire to sec change in his party
and in the nation as a whole.
Though many might find
Paul's campaign to be almost
comical - he is, after all. a former
Libertarian running as a Republi-
can in a race he has already lost
- there is something extremely re-
spectable in his uncompromising
stance on the issues
Paul's refusal to drop out of
the race will force McCain to con-
tinue to participate in productive
political discourse - something
that might otherwise have disap-
peared from the final few Republi-
can primaries
It is important for candidates
to continue engaging in debate
on the issues to ensure that voters
are as informed as they can pos-
sibly be when they finally choose
the next president of the United
States It is important that candi-
dates like Paul continue to push
the envelope and continue to con-
front their opponents on the is-
sues that matter
For his part - Paul said he
will not be endorsing McCain for
the presidency
I'm not likely to support
John McCain unless he chang-
es his views," Paul said "He
doesn't represent anything I've
talked about for 30 years How
could I reject everything I've talk-
ed about for 30 years ... and say,
'Oh, OK Now it's all over Unity
is the most important thing Now
I endorse John McCain'? Nobody
would understand that I certainly
would have a difficult time adapt-
ing to that "
1 find Paul's refusal to bend
to the will of the party admirable.
We need more candidates like him
to ensure the democratic prucess
continues to be changed, debated
and improved
His dedication to the debate
and discussion of ideas, even in
the face of certain defeat, should
to be respected

Wife supports campaign, family postponing career
KELSEY
NOEL
When Bar ;ic k Obarna
decided to run for presi-
dent, his wife was earning
more
money
than he
was
Ac-
cording
to an
article
in USA
To-
day on
May 10.
2007.
Mi-
Obama
earned $273,618 from her
job at the University of Chi
cago Hospitals in 2006,
while Barack made a mod-
est $157,082 as a US Sena
tor from Illinois
Still, Michelle decided
to let her flourishing career
take a temporary backseat
to raising her children and
assisting in her husband's
campaign efforts
Near the beginning
of her husband's presi-
dency in the 1990s, Sen
Hillary Clinton. D- NY
did not express the same
priorities when il came
to sacrificing career for
her spouse's political ad-
vancement
In an interview on
Nightline on Mareh 26,
1992, Clinton said. "1
suppose 1 could have
stayed home and baked
cookies and had teas, but
what I decided to do was
to fulfill my profession,
which 1 entered before
my husband was in public
life"
Well, Hillary, Mi-
chelle's resume is evidence
that she already has ful-
filled her profession She
was an assistant to former
Chicago mayor Richard Da-
les the founding execu-
te t director of a leadership
training program and asso
ciate dean of student servic
es at the University of Chi-
cago - not to mention, her
most recent job at the Uni-
versity of Chicago Hospitals
as vice president of commu
nity and external affairs
Michelle has traveled
to and spoken at sever-
al ct inferences across the
country on her husband's
behalf"
It is fair to say she is
an effective public speak-
er - she got her bachelor's
degree in sociology from
Princeton I'niversiiy. and
she has a law degree from
Harvard University Despite
the general consensus that
lawyers aren't known for
their honesty, Michelle has
been straightforward and
candid abuut Barack's qual-
ities
In the USA Today arti
cle, Michelle said
she wants voters to realize
that Barack is not the "next
messiah who's going to fix
it all"
That comment has
caused speculation from
both sides, convincing some
that Michelle thinks US
voters see her husband as a
god
On the contrary, per-
haps she was just remind-
ing people that all the prob-
lems in the United States
are not going to disappear
Not only is Barack not the
next messiah. but neither is
any other candidate
"He is going to stum-
ble - make mistakes and
say things you don't agree
with." she said
Though Michelle has
been actively involved in
her husband's campaign,
she has avoided taking over
and serving her own polit-
ical agendas Apparently.
that is more than one could
say for Bill Clinton
According to an article
on Feb 2 in the McClatchy
Washington Bureau, Ba-
rack said Bill was "hog-
ging so much of the spot
light that Barack wondered
aloud whom he was run-
ning against "
This is not Bills campaign,
therefore it should not be
used to build up his charac
ter: his wife needs his sup
port, not necessarily the
constant reminder of what
he did while in office His
support would be more ei
fective if he would step out
of the spotlight
It turns out Michelle
can stay plenty busy with
the full-time job of positive
ly supporting her husband's
campaign and caring for
her family
She probably doesn't
even have time to bake
cookies

Cyclists pedal across Kansas

About one thousand cy-

their bikes every year
"Biking Across Kansas"
is- an annual event where cy-
c fists start at the Colorado bor-

will slart on June 7 in St. Fran

Kan. The registration deadline
is May 7
Bradley McKellip, Kansas
resident, said he had a great
time last year during the event
"It's a surreal experience
spending all day transporting
yourself from one hot, quaint
small Kansas town to another
for a week in the company of
friends," he said. "Unfortunate-
ly, I'll be unable to participate

Criminologist, author to speak
today on gender, urban issues
By Adrlanni D*Wt«e
KANSAS STATE COLLililAN
An associate professor
of criminology and criminal
justice and author will dis-
cuss her latest book that ad-
dresses African -American
girls and urban inequality
today in the K State Student
Union Little Theatre
)ody Miller will lecture
about her recently released
book "Getting Played Afri-
can American Girls, Urban
Inequality, and Gendered Vi-
olence" Miller is an associ
ate professor at the Universi-
ty of Missouri-St. Louis who
specializes in feminist theo-
ries and qualitative research
methods. K State's Depart-
ment of Sociology, Anthro-
pology and Social Work will
sponsor Miller's lecture
Dana Britton, K State
professor of sociology, said
Miller is one of the most
prominent feminist criminol-
ogists in the United States
Miller's research examines
the intersections among
race, socioeconomic class
and gender, Britton said.
"Her work looks at a
topic that doesn't get looked
at much," Britton said "She
looks at violence against
women in a social context
like the neighborhoods they
live in and the lack of re-
sources in those neighbor-
hoods. She's paying atten-
tion much more to the na-
ture of the neighborhoods
rather than the pathology of
the perpetrators."
Miller wrote "One of
the Guys: Girls, Gangs, and
Gender" in 2001 She also
is a member of the National
Consortium on Violence Re-
search and has authored sev-
eral book chapters and jour-
nal articles about criminolo-
gy
Regardless of students'
academic majors, Britton
said Miller's lecture will pro-
vide insight about a timely
social problem
"We're incarcerating
more people than any oth-
er population on the plan
et, and it doesn't seem to be
helping," Britton said. "Mill-
er's research allows ui to
look at the social contexts
rather than the punitive "
Travis Linneman, gradu-
ate student in sociology, said
Miller's research examines
violence as a gendered ac-
tion and uses inner cities as
a social context. Linneman
said readers of Miller's work
can learn about the conse-
quences of urban inequali
ty, gendered inequality and
how young women negotiate
their environments at such
levels
"['Getting Played') in
particular shows how neigh-
borhood disadvantage can
contribute to disadvantaged
populations," Linneman
said "She looks at inner-
city, poverty-stricken neigh-
borhoods and outcomes for
girls in those neighborhoods.
The notion that comes out
of that is gendered violence;
you can also apply those to
how they apply to society in
a broader context "

severe."
The event typically has
800-900 riders every year Rid
ers cover 65-85 miles per day.
BAK arranges lodging, usual-
ly in high school gymnasiums
where everyone sleeps on the
floor or camps outside on the
lawn.
"Riders lend to wake be-
tween 5 and 6 a.m., eat a large
breakfast and hit the road for
six to 10 hours of bicycling,"
Lomshek said
The route changes every
year so the riders can visit new
towns each time they partici-
pate
Riders get more than
workout - BAK is also an ac-
tive sightseeing experience
They often visit with locals, see
towns, stop by shops or muse-
ums, take local tours and go
to historical places of interest
along the roadside.
BAK is not a competition,
so participants do not need to
be professional racers, and all
capable riders can register.
Good riding conditions
are crucial for a successful trip.
according to the official BAK
Web site, www.bak.org. The
site suggests doing training
rides for as many miles as you
can - the more the better.
Colin Rosenow. Manhat
tan High School student, said
he is looking forward to this
recreational experience
"I'm an enthusiast and
an amateur cyclist, but 1 ride
a bike often", he said "1 will
travel with my friends, and it
should be great 1 want to see
more Kansas".
BAK has participants who
are Rosenow's age all the way
up to their 70s.
The youngest participant
was eight, and another cyclist
older than 70 participated in
previous rides across Kansas

KANSAS STATE COLLH.GIAN
KANSAS CITY. Mo -
The ball just didn't seem to
fall K State's way Wednes
day in the second round
of the Big 12 Conference
Tournament at Municipal
Auditorium.
A final shot from ju-
nior guard Shalee Lchn
ing to win the game for the
Wildcats in overtime rolled
in and out of the basket,
and No 8-seeded Iowa
State became the victors of
a 66-65 game.
"When 1 released it, it
felt really good," Lehning
said. "It was straight on
I thought it was in Tough
luck - that's how they roll
sometimes"
The biggest loss of all
for K State, however, was
senior guard Kimberly Di-
etz. who fell to the floor
with what appeared to be
a knee injury with 1312
left in the first half. K Stale
coach Deb Patterson said
the senior's status will be
determined after further
tests Patterson said the
players continued the rest
of the game with emotions
for their injured teammate.
"Immediately, you're
surrounded with emotions
for her," Patterson said.
Iowa State coach Bill
Fen nelly has seen knee
injuries to his own team
twice this season, junior
guard Nicky Wieben and
senior forward Toccara
Ross both suffered injuries
to their anterior cruciate
ligaments during the sea-
son
"My heart goes out to
Kimberly Dietz and her
family," Fennelly said "I
watched that happen on
our team, and when she
fell - it lakes a loi of what
was one of the best college
basketball games I've ever
been a part of."

The track and field team
qualified six athletes to Friday

Championships, in Fayette
ville. Ark. All six placed in the
top three at the Big 12 Confer-
ence Championships and enter
the meet seeded in the top 12
of their respective events
lumor Scott Sellers enters
the meet as one of the favor-
ites in the high jump His jump
of 7-6 is the highest collegiate
jump in the nation this season
He is the reigning outdoor na-
tional champion and the Big

feated Nebraska's Dusty lonas,
the second- ranked high jumper
in the nation, in head -to- head
competition at the conference
meet on March 1
"In Scott's cue, he is go-
ing in with the highest jump,
and certainly many would ar-
gue that he is the best guy." said
coach Cliff Rovelto "And he
probably is the best guy, but not
always the best guy wins He s
going to have to jump at a high
level to win"

Parrish came to K-State
as a sophomore with the in-

Rovelto said he knew she could
be more successful in a longer
event
I felt like the 400 was her

It is difficult to predict
how high the team can finish,
Rovelto said, but with six ath

finish in the lop 20
"1 put more stock in going

MIKE
OEVAOER
Tournament
It was this time a year
ago K-State had a team that
finished fourth in the Big 12.
posted a 10-6 league record
and had more than 20 wins
overall Even with such im-
pressive credentials, the Wild-
cats were still considered to
be on the bubble of mak
ing the NCAA Tournament
It was rumored they needed
a win against the Texas Tech
Red Raiders lo lock up a bid
m the Big Dance
K-State must have
been listening because they
crushed Texas Tech, 66-45
The Wildcats were
thought to be a lock then, es-
pecially after playing a rela-
tively close game in the next
match-up against KC in the
semifinals All K State could
do was wait lo find out its
fate Selection Sunday came,
and the Wildcats weren't cho-
sen in the field of 65 They
were the first school in a ma-
jor conference to be in the
double-digits in conference
wins, finish in the lop four of
their respective league and
not make the tournament
The most absurd fact
is that Texas Tech made the
tournament, and the team
that crushed them in the
tournament - K-State -
didnt
Even CBS analyst Bil
ly Packard questioned why
in the world a team like Tex-
as Tech would make into the
tournament when the Wild-
cats didn't The head of the
committee gave a wonderful
explanation on why this hap-
pened He said the Red Raid-
ers got in because they played
a game before ihey faced the
Wildcat*, so they might have
been tired when they hooked
up with K-Stale Good ihing
he forgot to mention the op-
ponent for their opening
round game was the low-
ly Colorado Buffaloes, who
were in last place
Now in 2008. the Wild-
cats face a similar challenge
Even with their road win
at Iowa State in the season fi-
nale. K-State still isn't cer-
tain it locked up a bid in the
NCAA, though it placed third
in the conference ESPN nev
er really has liked the Wild-
cats, so when they predict
K-State is still on the bub
hie. it doesn't surprise me It's
mind boggling that they have
Oklahoma a lock but not the
Wildcats
Once again K State is
getting disrespected
Maybe the whole team
should take a page out of Mi
chael Beasley's book and
play angry during (he tourna-
ment We all know how Beas
ley plays when he is mad. but
imagine how good the team
could play if they all had the
same mentality
It's time to prove to the
selection committee that the
Cats belong in the Big Dance.

UMKC STUDENT STILL
MISSING AFTER TRIP
UNIVERSITY NEWS <U MISSQURJ-
KANSAS CITY)
KANSAS CITY, Mo. -
Jesse "Opie" Ross disappeared
411 November 2006, while in
Cbicagu with other Universi
ty of Missouri at Kansas City
-students for a model United
Nations conference, but his
family and friends continue to
hope for his safe return
At a benefit concert held
on Saturday in Pierson Audi
.torium, which reminded ev-
eryone the search continues
and raised money for a schol-
arship in his name, fesse's par-
ents spoke of the ongoing ef
forts
"We've got a private in-
vestigator out of Helton, our
hometown." said Jesse's father,
Don Ross. "He's really helpful
in coordinating with the Chi-
cago police They have put
fesse's DNA and dental re-
cords into the FBI database."
The parents, who contin-
ue to offer a $10,000 reward
for any information, said no
real leads have come up so
far.
"When he disappeared,
the initial reaction was per-
haps he had wandered off, so
time passed," Don Ross said
Jesse's father said he
wasn't blaming anyone, but
by the time a real investiga-
tion started, the roughly 1 ,000
participants at the conference
had headed home. Jesse's ho-
tel room was cleaned, and
there wasn't much to go on.
"Over 800,000 people are
missing at any one time," he
said. "... It's normal the police
thought a 19-year-old might
be just doing what kids his age
sometimes do."
The benefit concert fea-
tured three different bands
Episode 4, Prat Pack and A
Dead Giveaway, a band Jessie
used to tour with, and helped
to organize the shows A Dead
Giveaway worked with Jesse's
fraternity. Lambda Chi Alpha,
to set up this second musical
event at UMKC Don Ross
also thanked the university
administration for its help and
support.
"I know things look pret-
ty gloomy, but I've played a lit-
tle conversation in my mind,"
said Jesse's mother, Donna
Ross. "Jesse would never for-
give us 'What do you mean?'
he would say. 'How could you
give up?' ... We just hope and
pray Somebody's got to know
something"

Congress is considering
ways to streamline the appli-
cation process, which current
ly can take anywhere from
half an hour to ten hours to
complete.
One possible solution
would have the Department of
Education and Internal Reve-
nue Service share student fi
nancial data already submit-
ted on previous forms.
"Because of its complex-
ity. PAFSA is more of an ob-
stacle than a gateway for the
people who need it most," said
Laura Asher, associate direc-
tor of the Institute for College
Access and Success "If you
are moving a lot or changing
jobs, it can be tough to pull
the information together"
Asher said she believes
the measures would improve
student data security by elim-
inating unnecessary copies of
sensitive information
The Department of Edu-
cation and Internal Revenue
Service have held preliminary
talks, but the design process
could take between one and
two years, she said.
Dan Mann, university di-
rector of financial aid, said he
is interested in improving the
FAFSA form, but said its over-
simplification can lead to in
accuracy.
"1 think that the current
form and process is good," he
said. "1 gel concerned when
they talk about further simpli-
fication that we might lose our
ability to make good financial
aid decisions"
He said the FAFSA pro
cess has improved over the
last decade, with more infor-
mation available through high
schools and Web sites
"i think we're doing a
much better job making infor-
mation available," Mann said.
Several companies offer
FAFSA completion services,
although Mann said the Uni-
versity does not endorse any
of them.
However, Don Singleton,
vice president of Student Fi-
nancial Aid Services Inc., said
the aid process can be daunt-
ing for families with little ex-
perience.
"It affects not just the stu-
dents, but the whole family,"
Singleton said.
The company charges
clients between $49.99 and
$79 99 to complete their FAF
SA forms
Singleton said the com-
pany has contacted the offices
of several legislators regarding
the proposed changes to FAF-
SA.
"Any time you're in a sup-
port service helping people
navigate a government form,
there is always talk about
changing things that will af-
fect your business," Singleton
said.
Mann said students
should not discount the re-
sources already available to
help them complete the FAF
SA forms
"If you look at this over
time, one could argue that a
great deal of simplification has
already been done," he said.

Israel stepped up attacks

FLU OUTBREAK CLOSES
HONG KONG SCHOOLS
HONG KONG - Hong
Kmig's government ordered
Wednesday that all kinder
gartens and primary schools
be closed for two weeks amid
a flu oulbrcak. shutting down
classes for more than a half
million students.
Tlie government also
asked one of its top scientists
to study three child deaths
over the past week
The Education Bureau
said all kindergartens, prima-
ry schools and special schools
would begin the Easter holi
day early to prevent the spread
of influenza in schools
The order affecicd 1.745
schools, which had 55H.01 4
students enrolled in the
2006-07 school year.
Health secretary York
Chow said the administration
has seen a growing number of
pen pie suffering from the flu,
adding that bringing the Eas-
ter break forward will help re-
duce cross infection among
school children and calm pub-
lic tears.
"We estimate this peak
season of influenza will con-
tinue for a few weeks," Chow
said during a news conlerence
late Wednesday night.
Earlier in the day. Chow
said Yuen Kwok-yung, who
helped study Hong Kong's
outbreak of severe acute re-
spiratory syndrome outbreak
or SARS about four years ago,
will head a panel of scientists
studying the recent deaths.

AYATOLLAH SAYS U.S.
BEHIND IRAN CRITICISM
TEHRAN, Iran - Iran's
supreme leader Ayatollah Ali
Khamenei on Wednesday said
the United States and its allies
were behind criticism that up-
coming parliament elections
will be unfair.
The Ayatollah, who is
Iran's top authority on all state
and religious matters, said Ira-
nians on Friday should elect
those who are firm in their op-
position of the United States
and in their loyalty to Iran's Is
lamic system
"As much as they can, they
are making statements against
the (Iranian) government, par
liamenl and officials, to make
the public unenlhusiastic and
doubtful whether the elections
are free or not," he said of the
US and its allies
"With complete confi-
dence I can tell you. my dear
people, that the elections are
taking place correctly," he told
the audience at his Tehran res
idence, "Attending and partic-
ipating in these elections is a
national duty and a religious
duty."
The remarks by Khamenei
to a crowd of supporters were
an indirect call to voters to re
jeet the few reformists remain-
ing in the race
Some 1,700 candidates,
many of them reformists seek
ing better relations with the
West and greater freedoms at
home, were prevented from
miming on the grounds of in-
sufficient loyalty to Islam and
Iran's Islamic revolution.

lies of President Mahmoud Ah

GROUPS | Professor
says both sides should
make effort to connect
Continirtd from Ptqt 1
planned to try to get moro nun -
international students to tome
in i he events for this year's In-
k'malional Week, which will
held April 6-12, Hadamova
stud
Not all international stu-
dents consider themselves to
he separated from the rest of
aim pus, however
Dave Choi, suphom<irc in
kinesiology from South Korea,
said since arriving last fall, half
of his friends have been inter
national and half have been
American
Choi met most of his
i Mends through regular inter-
actions at Derby Dining Ceil
ler, he said.
In recent years, in-
krnational -domestic rela-
tion! at K State might have
seen some improvement, as
American students see the
workplace becoming increas-
ingly global, Shaw said,
"I think students recog
mze that the world is increas-
ingly diverse," Shaw said
H a dam ova. who came to
Manhattan from Czech Re-
public In 2003, said K- State
uiirmational programming,
■md the city's altilude at large,
teen 10 have improved
"1 guess either Manhattan
changed, or I did, or both," she
*aid.
Hadamova said most K
State students would meet a
' m international people dur-
ln§ their time at college, at
lessl through their classes
However, Aguilar said
that casually knowing peo-
ple from different cultures is
not the same as truly having a
deep understanding of them.
Learning more thorough-
ly about people from different
background! is not something
\ninkjMs or international
Undent! should be afraid of,
Shaw said.
"1 think by learning about
Ollltf cultures, other languag-
es, other religions, that a lot
of those fears and concerns
go away," he said. "We realize
that the common denominator
that we all share is our com
mon humanity, and we all ba-
sically want the same things"
Shaw, who has spent his
career focusing on interna
tional subjects, said he learned
the value of being open to dif
ferent cultures while traveling
in Peru at age 19
"What you are used to
by cultural default may not
be right for other people, and
maybe there are better ways
to do things," he said "I came
lo appreciate my country, my
culture much more after be-
ing able to be outside of it and
look back at it from a different
perspective."
While K State has contin-
ued lo improve and encourage
international studies, more
can be done lo incorporate in-
ternational cases into the cur-
riculum and use international
students as resources, he said.
"On many fronts we're
making progress, but we still
have a long way to go," he
said
Both groups - interna
tional and domestic - stand to
benefit from forming stronger
connections, Aguilar said
International students
can practice English and learn
about the country they've
come to study in, while do-
mestic students can expand
their knowledge about the
world, he said,
At the same time, both
types of students are to blame
for the disconnect between
their groups. International
students must take more ini-
tiative to meet American stu-
dents, he said.
"The effort needs to go
both ways. They have the will-
ingness, but they actually have
to go out and interact." Agu-
ilar said. "It's like there are
two different communities It
would be great if we could just
create one K State communi
ty"
CONCERT | Event
free to community
Continued from Paget
administration and WOW
campus ministry leader.
Evans serves as Senior
Pastor of the more than 7,000
member Oak Cliff Bible Fel-
lowship in Dallas. He is also
founder and president of The
Urban Alternative, a nation
al organization thai seeks to
bring about spiritual renewal
in urban America through the
church.
"The main purpose of the
whole event is its unity." Khune
said "We're trying to promote
unity on campus and even in
the community, it's up to the
community and ihe campus"
The WOW ministry has
been striving to get the word
of Jesus Christ out to the stu-
dents on campus, and the
ministry also tries to promote
diversity, he said.
The concert is also sup-
ported by World Vision, an or-
ganization that works with
many gospel artists.
World Vision is a Chris
tian humanitarian organi-
zation dedicated lo working
with children, families and
their communities worldwide
to reach their full potential by
tackling the causes of poverty
and injustice.
"The Bible talks about us
being one body, and we tru-
ly are one body, so there's no
separation there," Rhone said.
BAN | SGA hopes
to gain ban support
Continued from Page t
smoking ban and hopeful-
ly will encourage those who
attend to sign the petition
for a smoke- free Manhat-
tan
The petition later will
be sent to city commission-
ers to look at
"Students need to make
their voices heard and ask
questions if they have any
and ask about any other
issues that pertain lo the
smoking ban at the panel,"
Wagner said.
City Commissioner
Bob Slrawn said he strong
ly supports a stale-wide or-
dinance for a smoking ban
and a local ban.
He also said it depends
on how the ordinance is
constructed
1 think generally there
is a strong feeling of sup
port | for the ban]," Strawn
said "If we pul it through,
a ballot, I think 70 percent
would support it."
With a city ordinance,
Strawn said, people will
show a high amount of sup-
port because people do not
like the smell of smoke and
are more concerned with
the smell and odor rather
than the health issues.
"Most people will favor
the local ban because of the
'ick' factor," Strawn said
SAUNA I Campus finally gets student center
Continued from P*qe 1
making the center a reality
Students on the Salina
campus have raised $2 million
m student privilege fees towards
the center They also raised $4
million of privalc money from
individual and corporate doita
tions
In Zerr's first term as stu
dent body president in 2004,
he sat d Ihey began reserving
money from SGA's fund lo do
all the necessary research to
determine if they could afford
the center
During this term, SCA
and administrators began to
put the finalized plan to action,
he said
"It's been a reafly long
time coming." he said, "There's
a lot of optimism towards the
THE
project, but the same cynicism
exists"
Since there have been
lalks of the new center, stu-
dents have not seen progress,
Zerr said, a lot of students are
critical of the center.
The campus has already
had a groundbreaking ceremo-
ny, Kuhlman said proudly.
"I am exciied to death
about this," he said.
Cheney Construction Inc.,
Manhattan, is the general con-
tractor for ihe project. As soon
as weather allows, soil prepara-
tion is expected to begin al the
site, which is southeast of the
College Center.
"Once the students start
seeing construction and dirt
being moved they we wilt have
something positive to talk
abmit ' he said

ASK THE FIFTH YEAR
Fake
Patty's
just good
of fun
It's an excuse for me to
drink and pass out all before
noon without you naysayers
judging me.
L J
ADAM
REICHENBERGER
It's
a reason
for me to
grow out
my red
beard
Its
a reason
for me to
be pain-
fully op-
timistic
about a
dating life that's nonexistent
But really it's just a rea-
son to have fun.
Fake Patrick's Day is the
end-all-be all of fake holi-
days It's right up there with
Mall Day, Love Day and Ar-
bor Day (let's be serious -
its not real)
Basically because Pat-
rick's real day is always
landing during spring break,
the great community here
at K-Statc got together and
thought, "How can we screw
these kids out of a ton of
money and yet disguise it as
something they should enjoy
more than anything else and
look forward to for months
in advance?"
Enter Fake Patrick's
Day.
Are we being tricked?
Hell, yes
Do 1 care? Hell, no
It's one of the best days
of the year Take this year
for instance My idiot friends
got up there at 7 am to wait
in line for a free shirt I go
there at a quarter 'til 9 a.m.
and still got one.
While several parts
about the day were fantastic,
there was one memory that
I feel will last forever My
friend found a phone in the
park on the way to the bars.
Going through the numbers
he deduced it must belong
to a girl Four beers and 30
minutes later he was abso-
lutely convinced this was the
love of his life and spoke an-
grily at anyone who laughed
at the idea
Another half hour goes
by with another four beers
and the phone rings. I
thought the kid was going to
pee himself he was so excit-
ed
■Weir* " I asked.
"She's at work right
now She'll be by later to
pick it up"
He could hardly contain
himself.
Now he should have
quit drinking here, but natu-
rally the green pitchers kept
coming, and as long as we
kept refilling, he kept re
drinking We were having a
ball with it.
A little after 11 a.m. he
gets another call.
"She's on her way."
For the next 13 minutes
he stared out the window
In anticipation shaking our
shoulders with each lovely
lady that passed by
Finally one enters, "Are
you Dustin?"
He answers, "Damn ill"
We all just stare at the
floor, wondering if that ac-
tually just happened Some
laugh a little I laughed a lot.
Woa ihe the love of his life?
Well, not so much, and we'll
just leave it at that.
Another one of my
friends got a black eye from
himself, another lost her
keys, ID and money; another
has no idea why I still have
his car
Fake Patrick's Day just
has a way of bringing all
the strange mishaps togeth-
er over a green pint, some
annoying beads and a lot
of laughs Mark it down on
next year's calendar - it's al-
ways a good time

TRENDS THROUGH THE DECADES
Back in time
COURTESY ART
The Bwrttts were one of the main influences of the 1960s, which included the band members' fashion and music
'60s affect current trends, music
By Kristin Hodges
KANSAS STATE COLLEGIAN
Surrounded by upcoming Baby
Boomer adults, the 1960s had a
movement that put a spotlight on a
young generation.
Maria Day. senior curator with
apparel textiles, said the '60s were a
time of political change when youth
began to gain a voice in the public
"There were so many of them,"
she said, "and everything they did
had a big impact in term of the
sheer number of people"
Day said she is part of the Baby
Boom generation, and she remem-
bers that everything teenagers did
was under a microscope. She said
it was the first time marketing and
media had so much attention on
youth.
Many of the styles and trends
seen in the '60s still can be seen to-
day Here on campus students can
be seen wearing cropped jackets,
teased hair and skinny jeans. These
influences date back to more than
40 years ago.
she said. "That started in England
with the Beatles. That's what most
people associate with them - that
kind of silhouette."
Brosdahl said in the '60s, skin-
ny jeans were worn by both men
and women, though women typi-
cally did not wear pants until the
beginning of the 70s.
She said women are now teas-
ing their hair and pulling it back,
which also started in the '60s.
As the '60s saw changes
throughout the decade with the
assassination of |FK and politi-
cal protests, fashion saw a change
by 1964. Day said in textile fabrics
there were more black and white
prints, which are seen today with
pops of color like yellow or lime
green.
Day said gaucho pants, pat-
terned items and leggings were
popular during the mid-decade,
and these items have shown up
again today.
"We're seeing lots of colored
hose. The leggings they're show
ing in the stores with clothes are
turquoise and hot pink and yel-
low Here we go again," Day said,
laughing.
At the end of the decade. Day
said the influence of the hippies
was evident.
"The hippy grunge or the hip-
py peasant sort of look, which are
Bohemian style - those have been
going on for the last four or five
years, with the embroidered jeans,"
she said.
was the first rock album conceived
as a whole where everything was
unified," Parker said "It was also
really important because they did
so much studio work. It was impos-
sible to form that live That started
a whole new wave that could only
be heard on recordings"
Parker said another long- last
ing effect of music during the de
cade was the Rolling Stone Maga-
zine, which devoted itself to rock
'n' roll and politics and is still in
production.
The Rolling Stones group also
contributed to today's world in its
transformation of radio in America,
because stations started becoming
exclusively rock 'n' roll, he said.
"I remember when I was grow-
ing up in the '60s, you could hear a
whole variety of music on one sta-
tion," Parker said.
He also said jazz in the '60s in-
fluenced today's genre because mu-
sicians like John Coltrane and Miles
Davis incorporated rock sounds
into jazz, which started a new trend
in jazz still found today
In theater, the Broadway show
"Hair," about a young man who is
drafted and getting ready to go to
war, also influenced shows and mu-
sic today Parker said the show in-
cluded rock elements and was one
of the first shows on Broadway to
have nudity on stage
"Shows like Rent' and Phan
torn of the Opera' are all indebt-
ed to what was done in 'Hair,'" he
said.
JOHN F. KENNEDY
INFLUENCES IN FASHION
Day said John F. and Jack-
ie Kennedy were influential in set-
ting trends at the beginning of the
1960s
"He was a very young presi-
dent, so that took a lot of the youth,"
she said "They just naturally gravi-
tated to him and his image and his
wife and her image"
Day said women looked up to
Jackie's sense of style At the time.
women adapted her clothes and her
hairstyle
"Some of the early '60s influ-
ence came from her - the cropped
jackets and the narrow skirts, and
now we're going back to that idea,"
she said
Day said men looked up to the
president's polished and refined
look, which she said is still seen to-
day
"Some people do dress in that
style," she said "You sort of see a
little bit of everything That's what's
interesting about what's going on in
fashion."
Deb Brosdahl, associate profes-
sor of apparel textiles, named other
influences like the Beatles, Twiggy
and the Rolling Stones. She said the
styles set by these people also can
be seen today.
"The skinny jeans arc basical-
ly a throwback to the 1960s, when
they were called stove pipe pants."
TWIGGY
TRENDS IN MUSIC
During the political climate of
the '60s, there were two songwrit-
ers who were influential in progres-
sive political ideas Craig Parker, as
sociate professor music, who teach-
es music history, said Bob Dylan
and loan Baez wrote many songs
that dealt with politics in the 1960s,
particularly focusing on opposition
to the Vietnam War
The most popular group was of
course the Beatles, Parker said Af-
ter the group made its fame on the
Ed Sullivan Show, there was a wave
of Beatle mania that is still heard
on the radio and in grocery stores
today
"Probably their most important
album was in 1967, 'Sgt Pepper's
Lonely Hearts Club Band,' which
I
BEHINO THE TRENDS
In the "60s, many of the trends
from people and groups like the
Beatles were brought from Eu-
rope Brosdahl said it wasn't until
after World War I] and the Prench
fashion industry shut down that the
United States started its own fash-
ion.
For our trends today, Day said
designers look at what's going on in
the world to find "the pulse of peo-
ple."
"They're going to look at what's
going on in architecture, art, mu-
sic, even probably food trends," she
said. "Everything that is going on,
you kind of have to keep up with
what that is They're always going
to see a different take on some
thing."
Day said fashion designers in
particular might go back and look
at past ideas and then freshen them
up to bring into the mainstream
again.

College students lend to
focus on the career that lies
ahead, but they often forget
God's purpose for them, said
a former Dallas Cowboys
chaplain Thursday night
"We are not just serv-
ing the purposes of a career,
we are serving the purposes
of God," said the Rev Tony
Evans, speaker at the "One
Night for the King" concert
at the College Avenue United
Methodist Church. "We need
to be God's representative in
the careers we are in."
The event was spon-
sored by K State Workers of
Wisdom campus ministries, a
group whose campus spiritu-
al leaders have been encour-
aging students to worship
and meet God.
"God is so worthy, God
is so worthy," said Jahvelle
Rhone, who was the main
coordinator for the event,
as he welcomed a sanctuary
filled with Manhattan resi-
dents and K- Stale students
Rhone, junior in open
option, said the night was all
about worshiping the Lord in
the right way
"Tonight, I really
think there's going to
be a form of unity on
this campus thai hasn't
been seen in a lung
time," he said "I real-
ly think that God is go-
ing to move, and also 1
think that people's eyes
will be opened.
"This is a great
night for campus min-
istries," Rhone said
"We are duing some-
thing great tonight by
telling college students
that we can have a pur-
pose "
Several campus
ministries including
Prajin, Campus Cru-
sade for Christ and In-
lerVarsily Christian Fel-

dance as well as some
Manhattan churches.

Local residents discuss effects of city-wide smoking ban on businesses
Liile Aldnton | COUEGIAN
Rusty Wilton, founder of Rusty's Last Chance and Kite's Bar and Grill, gives his feedback on the issue of a
smoking ban in Aggteville establishments Thursday in the K-State Student Union Courtyard.
By Brandon McAfee
KANSAS STATE COLUOAM
Five members of the Man-
hattan community from var-
ious fields and backgrounds
came together Thursday in the
K-Siate Student Union to talk
about a possible smoking ban.
K- Stale's Student Govern-
ing Association sponsored the
forum to provide a smoke-free
Manhattan
SGA is trying to inform
people about the risks of public
smoking and encourage them
to back the idea of prohibiting
smoking in public bars and res-
taurants There are currently 27
smoke-free Kansas cities.
"If this was really just a nui-
sance. I don't think we would be
working so hard. Eight hours in
a smoky bar is like smoking 15
cigarettes. For those smoking
cigarettes, they actually hove a
fitter," said Marcia Locke, pub
lie relations and outreach coor-
dinator a I the (ohnson Cancer
Center
Rusty Wilson, founder of
Rusty's Last Chance, opened
the first smoke -free bar in Ag
gieville He also opened a
smoke free side to Kile's Bar
and Grill and - because of the
success - has also created a
smoke free bar in Kansas City.
"There are 18 bars in Ag
gieville, and only two of Ihem
arc smoke free - that puts me
at a disadvantage." Wilson said.
"It's a very competitive area,
and we arc just looking for an
equal playing field. Many own
ers 1 have talked to know the
ban is inevitable but are not go-
ing to change until forced to."
Wilson also said the ban
would take some adjusting at
first. He said business would
suffer first, but then pick up.
"Specific places might have
a problem, but for the whole
city, there would be no change
economically, I believe," Locn
said
Locke said students should
support the ban because most
employees of Manhattan bars
and restaurants are K-State stu-
dents She sLiitl tlicy are not
thinking about their health, but
rather what seems mure impor-
tant right now - money. She
said I hey should not have to
risk Iheir health at work.
Dr. James Gardner, inter-
nal medicine physician in Man-
hattan, said the most common
disease in U.S. is vascular dis-
ease, and secondhand smoke
contributes to acute diseases,
like heart disease

Criminologist discusses gender, urban inequality among African Americans
By Adriannc DtW<mt
KANSAS STATE COLLEGIAN
"Youths' descriptions fit
quite closely to scholars' ex
animations of how struc-
tural inequalities negative
ly impact neighborhood res-
idents and negatively impact
the ability to generate social
ties and protective networks
necessary to combat crime,"
said Jody Miller, associate
professor in the Department
of Criminology and Criminal
lustice at the University of
Missouri-Si Louis.
Miller presented a lec-
ture about her book "Getting
Played African American
Girls, Urban Inequality and
Gendered Violence," which
was released March 1 Mill-
er's lecture focused on Chap
ter 2 in "Getting Played," en-
titled "Gender 'n the 'Hood:
Neighborhood Violence
Against Women and Girls."
The book's research
methodology involved qual-
itative, in-depth interviews
with 35 young women and
40 young men The men and
women were African Ameri-
can and lived in "distressed
urban neighborhoods" in St
Louis.
The median age of those
interviewed was 16, and the
subjects were not selected at
random sample, Miller said.
She also said her research
did not intentionally include
more young men intervie-
wees than young women
Miller read anecdotes
from those who were inter
viewed. One young wom-
an, Chesnay, described her
neighborhood in the follow
ing quote: "Terrible Every
man for they self Ghetto in
the sense of raggedy, people
uncool to people."
The book's title "Getting
Played" came from disputes
among youth about whether
sexual and violent behavior
toward women was harmful
or "play," Miller said.
"Boys often used the ter
minology of 'play' to say that
what they were doing was not
serious - that it was humor
ous, that it was all in good
fun." Miller said "Girls were
very ambivalent about what
exactly to make of that"
Of the young worn
en interviewed for "Getting
Played," Miller said 54 per-
cent reported some form of
sexual victimization Many
of the young women inter-
viewed used "respect your-
self, protect yourself strate-
gies when they encountered
violence in their urban neigh-
borhoods, Miller said.
Other strategies they
used included avoiding pub-
lic places all the time or at
night: relying on the compa-
ny of others for protection;
and drawing security from
neighborhood networks of
family members and friends
for protection. Miller said
Miller also said limita-
tions occur with these strat
egies, which include limita-
tions on young women's par
ticipation in public and reli-
ance on those who might be
victimizers.
K State's Department of
Sociology. Anthropology and
Social Work, the Women's
Studies Program, the Dow
Chemical Multicultural Re
source Center and the Soci-
ology Graduate Student As-
sociation sponsored Miller's
lecture.
Michelle Bemiller. assis
tanl professor of sociology,
said she had her criminology
class read Miller's 1998 ar
tide "Up It Up: Gender and
the Accomplishment of Street
Robbery" before Miller spoke
with the class Thursday,
Miller's 2001 book "One
of the Guys: Girls, Gangs and
Gender" examined women as
offenders
As an important contrib-
utor to feminist criminolo-
gy, Miller's research looks at
women as victims of violence
and as potential offenders,
Bemiller said.
"1 think, in general, it's
Matt Sinter | ( OJ [ [ i ,IAN
Jody Millar, associate profesjor of criminology at the University of Missouri, St. Louis, gives a presenta-
tion on urban inequality and gender violence in the Little Theatre in the K- State Student Union Thursday
afternoon.
safe to say girls and women
were ignored for a very long
lime in criminology and seen
only as victims and not of-
fenders," Bemiller said.
Joe Grasela, senior in so
ciology. said he was already
aware of several issues Mill-
er addressed from his previ
ous classes
"However, it was real-
ly interesting to hear a qual-
itative interview process
and getting to see the actual
quotes of what people saw in
their communities and neigh-
borhoods," Grasela said "We
reallv need that more - what
people are seeing most of the
time I guess I didn't realize
the level that gender plays
in a neighborhood like that
and how women are basical
ly minimized and taught to
deal with sexual violence and
nothing much is done about
it"
Students see social, economic issues while studying abroad
By Herri Gordon
KANSAS STATE COLLEGIAN
, K-State's study abroad
program allows students to ex-
plore the world and experience
new cultures while still crack-
ing the books
Elizabeth Ward, director of
the study abroad program, said
the main reason students study
abroad is because it's the one
time in their lives they can take
advantage of living in another
country.
Danielle English, senior in
journalism and mass commu-
nications, studied in Quereta-
ro, Mexico, for six weeks. She
said she went for an in-depth
opportunity to experience His-
panic culture because she has
a Spanish minor. English also
said she has family there that
she has never met, so she want-
ed to live as they do every day
Mallory Loveridge. senior
in finance who studied abroad
in Cairns, Austral in. for five
months, said she had wanted to
go to Australia ever since she
had taken a geography class
her freshman year in college
She also discovered that Aus-
tralia is a booming country for
business, which relates to her
major.
After traveling by herself.
Loveridge said. "It was a really
good thing. I became more in-
dependent."
Both English and Lover-
idge were well prepared before
the trip and talked to other stu-
dents who studied abroad in
the areas they traveled to.
"We had a class session
with the professor who came
with us and watched a movie
about Mexico, the history and
politics of it." English said.
Students said studying
abroad allowed them to learn
about a variety of subjects out-
side of their majors and about
people as a whole.
'The biggest thing 1
learned was that there are
unique people all over the
world." Loveridge said.
For students who are ac-
customed to Manhattan, study-
ing abroad might serve as an
outlet for them to see that the
world is much different outside
of Kansas, Loveridge said.
"I learned a lot more about
socioeconomic levels," English
said. "I saw more poverty there
than what 1 would of seen here
in Manhattan."
Both students said it took
some adjustment to gel back
into their routines once they
came back to K-State.
"You really get immune to
the country that you are study-
ing in. no matter how long you
study there," Loveridge said "It
was weird to come back here
because everything is so up-
tight In Australia, it's really
laid back"
English also said it was
strange to come back to the
US and not hear much Span
ish like she did in Mexico
Not only did the students
bring back valuable learn
ing experiences from study
ing abroad, they said they had
fun during their visits to foreign
countries
English said her best expe-
riences were going camping for
the first time and visiting many
dance clubs.
Loveridge said diving was
her favorite Australian activity
She also said she enjoyed Aus-
tralia's beautiful beaches and
going camping.
Studying abroad will >Jv<
students more well-rounded
experience in their college ca-
reers, English said
Whether studying emerg-
ing markets in China, agricul-
ture in Oista Rica orarchitec
ture in Italy, education abroad
can help prepare students for
their academic and profession-
al futures in a changing world,"
Ward said.

Friday's To The Point col-
umn features the edito-
rial board's favorite and
least favorite Fountm
comments throughout the
week. Vie board mem-
bers will state their opin-
ions about selected
comments.
To the person who
doesn't like the Beatles:
There's seriously some-
thing wrong with you. 1
challenge you to listen
to "Yellow Submarine"
or "I am the Walrus"
and not be entertained.
This forum comment
should not even be neces-
sary. There is not a band
today that has not been
influenced in some way
by them.
Word to the wise:
Delivery drivers can
turn narc very quickly.
Please, please tip.
There are members of
the editorial staff who
have been delivery driv-
ers. We would just like to
say that it is not a power
to be ignored Also, some
people tip and some
don't. It isn't an insult if
they don't
Is Ugg season almost
over?
YES! YES! YES! Not
only is "Ugg" short for
ugly, they are the dumb-
est boots ever It will nev-
er be clear how some-
thing so Uggly can weasel
its way onto the feet of so
many.
To the people who
walk and text-message
at the same time: 1 hope
you walk into a wall.
This is very annoy-
ing Especially when they
walk in the middle of the
sidewalk. Please under-
stand texting while driv-
ing is just as dangerous.

KANSAS STATE COLLEGIAN
FRIDAY, MARCH 14, 2008
Dirty laundry
Government officials should clean own closets first
KELSEY
CHILDRESS
New York Gov. Eliot Spitzer has a
lot of explaining to do after charges sur
faced of his involvement in a prostitution
ring on Monday. The
New York Times report-
ed that "the [federal]
wiretap captured a man
identified as Client 9 on
a telephone call con-
firming plans to have a
woman travel from New
York to Washington,
where he had reserved
a hotel room. The per-
son briefed on the case
and the law enforcement
official identified Mr
Spitzer as Client 9 "
Spitzer, who was the attorney gen-
eral for the state of New York for eight
years before becoming governor in Jan-
uary 2007, had received recognition for
cases involving protection of the envi-
ronment and low -wage workers
Spitzer had been wiretapped af-
ter the IRS reported that a "significant
amount of money had been suspicious-
ly transferred from one account to an-
other," according to the article "Soure-
es: Money Transfers Spurred Spitzer
Probe" published Wednesday on CNN.
com. These money transfers required the
filing of a Suspicious Activity Report by
federal law After investigating the trans
fers, CNN com reported the FBI Corrup
tion Squad linked them to a prostitution
ring known as the Emperors Club CNN
sources reported Spitzer used the pros
titution service at least eight times in re-
cent months
On Wednesday, Spitzer resigned.
leaving Ll Governor David Paler-
son to step up and take office at noon
on March 17. This seems to be the most
graceful move, according to the Gov-
ernor's Internet page on wwui.ny.gov,
Spitzer has three daughters and has been
married to his wife. Silda, since 1987
But perhaps it isn't the fact that he
has a family that forced his resignation
but rather the conflicting issue of saying
one thing and doing another Spitzer
who is known for cracking Juw it
on Wall Street corruption, had
also prosecuted prostitution
rings during his lime as New
York stale attorney general
During a public an-
nouncement Spitzer stat
ed, "Over the course ol
my public life, I have
insisted - I believe
correctly - that peo-
ple, regardless of their
position or power,
take responsibility for
their conduct I can and
will ask no less of my-
self" At least he recognizes
his own hypocrisy
One of the problems nl
political leaders is they be
lieve they will never be
caught, which is a large risk
because they have more to
lose than the average IS
citizen.
They have their nation
al and state reputations at
stake, with newspapers report
ing their dirty little secrets and
national groups calling for their
resignation before their aide*, even
know the full slory.
While a majority of politicians
probably get away with more crimes
than the public will ever know.
Spilzer's desire for a high-class prosti

Race card: Acknowledgment of racial privilege not racism
MARQUIS
1 am black. 1 know you're sur-
prised by that, but bear with me My
life experiences have had a great
deal to do with my
race The food I
love, the music I
grew up listening to,
the color I am all at
least partially due
to my skin color
And there are any
number of oppor-
tunities I have been
both given and de-
nied because of it It
is not racist to say
that.
According to the
Associated Press, the Barack Obama
campaign has set its sites on former
Democratic vice presidential nom-
inee Gcraldinc Ferraro. Fcrraro is
in trouble for the following state-
ment: "If Obama was a white man.
he would not be in this position"
She later clarified her position
by saying, "I referred again back to
the historic campaign of mine, and
I said in 1984. if my name had been
Gerard Ferraro instead of Geraldine
Ferraro, I would never have gotten
the nomination It doesn't mean that
1 wasn't capable of doing the job.
I certainly was I believe that if we
had gotten elected, 1 not only would
have been a good vice president, but
I would have probably run for presi-
dent in 1992"
Since I'm also black, let me say
what you're all thinking - Obama
would not be in this position if he
was not black He would not speak
the way he speaks if he was not
black. He would not have the life ex-
periences he has had; he would not
strike the chord he strikes, he would
not stand in the gap between priv-
ilege and oppression if he was not
black All of his attributions as a
candidate are the summation of his
character, like any other candidate
Is he talented? Prepared? Qualified?
Absolutely.
In the United States, only mi-
norities have race and only wom-
en have gender. We don't say that
George Washington would definite
ly not have been president if he were
black or a woman But it is true.
He wouldn't have been allowed to
lead, no matter his talent for do-
ing so. Thankfully, many blacks
and women in positions of power
are in those positions because of
a long overdue societal backlash
against that type of thinking.
My advice to Sen. Obama is to
embrace privilege Being black in
America has rarely been so valu-
able. Remember that whiles in Iowa
and Vermont have campaigned with
equal voracity and voted for Obama
in equal numbers as blacks in Missis-
sippi and Alabama.
Remember that a racialized
America shapes all of our identities
and it would benefit us all to ana-
lyze the ways in which we are both
privileged and limited by our racial
heritage. Use this as an opportunity
to celebrate the fact that two black
conservatives sit in positions ol tig
nifkant power and one black liber-
al runs for the highest office in the
land, and their blackness serves as a
benefit and not a hindrance.
Barack, your father was a Mus-
lim, your mother was white and you
live in a country that a half-century
ago destined you for domestic - not
public - service You remind a coun-
try of both a black civil rights lead-
er and a white president. You speak
in black churches in the South and
at predominantly white rallies in the
North and both audiences are hope
tul Move the discussion back to the
issues at hand • the ones that affect
all Americans, regardless of race.
Who cares how you got to this
point? Now that you are here, wKat
will you do?

<xt spring break, students from K-State went to New Orleans
to help with clean-up two years after Huf ricane Katri na hit.
By David L. Griffin
KANSAS STATE COLLEGIAN
Many students are tak-
ing advantage of their spring
breaks to help those in need
around the U.S.
The K-State Communi-
ty Service Program's Alter-
native Spring Break is an op-
portunity for students to par-
ticipate in an intense service
experience during their week
off from classes Participants
travel to communities around
the country where they work
with local residents to ad-
dress a pressing social issue.
Kim Prazier, who works
with AmeriCorps VISTA.
which stands for Volunteers
in Service to America, said
students have participated in
the Alternative Spring Break
for the past 10 years. She said
she sees it as an opportunity
for students who enjoy trav
el and community service to
get out of Kansas fur an af-
fordable price during spring
break The trip itself is $175
and covers travel, housing
and some meals.
"Students are really in-
terested in doing communi-
ty service, and this is a really
easy way for them to get stuff
done," Frazier said
Mariam Bahadori, junior
in psychology, will be trav-
eling to New Orleans with
a team of K-State students
to participate in Alternative
Spring Break.
"It's a great opportunity
to get out and help those in
need. It sounds fun and very
beneficial to everyone," Ba-
hadori said
The students on this trip
will be split up into three dif-
ferent teams, with each one
participating in a different
project
One group will work
with Disciples Home Mission
to rebuild houses Anoth-
er project involves working
with animal rescue, and the
third group will focus on the
"Green project," which col-
lects and reuses recyclables.
"Everyone is always very
gracious that people are there
to help, and it's a cool oppor-
tunity," Prazier said.

master's degree in African studies
from the University of California-
Los Angeles He also received
his BA in History from Bowdoin
College in Brunswick, Maine.
"He has sound knowledge in
African geography and econom
ics and since [KU] is near to K
State, it reduces transportation
and other expenses," said Daba
Gedafa, president of African Stu-
dent Union
Gedafa, doctoral candidate
and graduate research assistant
in civil engineering, said the pur
pose of the event is to increase
awareness of contemporary is-
sues in Africa among K- Stale stu-
dents, faculty, staff and the Man
halt an community
Two years ago. the African
Student Union helped establish
an African Studies Center at K
State to promote research and
education on African issues
David Harlnetl. African Stu
dent Union faculty advisor, said
the organization identified at
least three dozen faculty mem
burs who perforin some sort of
research on Africa, which con
tributed to the establishment of
the studies center
"The African Studies Center
is a way to pull faculty together
that have interest in African stud-
ies and work together to promote
the study of Africa on campus, 1 '
he said
Hartnett, prufessor of biolo-
gy, said the center will also de-
velop more opportunities for stu
dents, including study abroad
programs and more research on
Africa
Hartnett said the lecture is
another opportunity for K-State
students to learn about a differ-
ent part of the world. He also
said he applauds Gedafa and t he-
African Student Union for their
hard work and taking the initia-
tive to conduct the entire event
on their own.

By Jonathan Wright
KANSAS S1AIHIH I H, IAN
Despite losing five of its last six shows,
the K-State equestrian team is looking to fin-
ish its season on a positive note in its last com-
petition of (he regular season when the Fresno
State Bulldogs come to Manhattan.
The show, which will begin at 10 am to
day at Manhatlan's Fox Creek Farms, comes
just five days after the Wildcats fell to Geor-
gia. Though quick. Western coach Casie Wil-
liamson said the team is not worried aboul tin-
turnaround
"It's not the first time its happened this
year." Williamson said "It is hard. You only
have four days to gel ready for it. but we don't
really feel like we need to play catch up from
last week's competition. We know all the ba-
sic things, and we just have to get comfortable
with our patterns and tests"
K Stale enters the show with a record of
5-6, while Fresno Stale enters with a record
of 4-4 on the season. Eighteen Wildcat riders
will compete against the Bulldogs
Leading the English squad is senior Whit-
ney Snyder, who won her thirteenth competi-
tion last week against Georgia Freshman Ju-
lie Wolfert, who picked up her first varsity win
and MVP award last week, will be riding for
the English squad as well
On the Western side, junior Alyssa Free-
man should lead the young squad She is hop-
ing to finish strong as the Central Champion-
ships and National Championships take place
in the upcoming weeks.
"The learn is full of very talented riders,"
Freeman said "If we continue to work hard,
we are capable of accomplishing our goal,
which is to walk away with a national cham-
pionship"
Leading the way wilh Freeman will be
sophomore Laura Browne, who is 6-3-2 on
the season with one MVP award, and sopho-
more Tara Hallan, who has yet to lose this sea
son wilh a 3-0-1 record
English coach Ashley Foster said it is im-
portant that K State finishes its season on a
strong note

win in English style competition over Georgia. Despite Snyder's win, the Wildcats lost 1 1 -5 on Sunday
" 1 1 we can perform as close to perfect as pos-
sible this weekend, it will give our riders the
confidence they need going into the Central
Championships and the National Champion
ships," Foster said.
On Saturday, five riders will compete in

Media
pressures
players
too early
As many of you might
have heard, K-State's freshman
basketball sensation Michael
Beasley, has repeatedly said in
interviews
with nation-
al media
that he does
not feel he
is ready for
the NBA.
In a re-
cent inter-
view with
ESPN,
corn's Dana
O'Neil. Bea- "
sley stated
the NBA is still a dream to him
and he is just enjoying the ex-
perience of being a college kid.
He is still a kid at heart, and
that is part of the reason he is
such a joy to cover.
In an interview with ES-
PN's First lake in January, he
was asked about the NBA and
about being a one-and-done
player. He emphasized in the
interview that he wanted to be
a student-athlete, not an athlet-
ic student
The interviewers gave a
slight smirk to each other, as if
doubting the comments made
by the Wildcat phenom.
However, when Beasley
makes one of these comments,
it is put under the microscope
by the national media. Sports-
writers argue that he is just say-
ing the right things and doesn't
really mean them.
Many sports-talk shows
have said he would be an id-
iot to stay in college and not
head for the NBA. Why do the
media act like we know more
about Beasley than he knows
about himself?
Where have we come as
a society today to say thai a
kid would be an idiot to stay
in school and not head for the
money ? Staying in school and
receiving an education used to
be encouraged, but the media
has discouraged that goal by
calling a kid crazy for wanting
to stick around college a little
longer.
Rather than making the
story of Beasley wanting to stay
into a positive, the national
media questions why a poten-
tial lottery pick would return to
college
Whenever I turn the chan-
nel to ESPN to check out col
lege basketball highlights, all of
the talk and highlights center
around the outstanding fresh-
men, the so-called "diaper dan-
dies"
ESPN uses these kids to
get viewers, and when they're
gone, they are often forgotten
about. Last year, all we heard
about from ESPN personalities
was how great Kevin Durant of
the Texas Longhoms was. Ev-
ery night there seemed to be
non-stop highlights of Durant
(lowing through television sets
around the nation.
This year, all the talk about
Beasley s good friend, Durant.
has simmered after his depar-
ture to the professional ranks,
and the media's attention has
switched to the new freshmen
class in college basketball.
Beasley is touted by most
experts to be the consensus No
1 pick in the upcoming NBA
draft, but that doesn't mean
he has to go. So, K State fans,
don'l give up hope just yet on
the prospect of Beasley return
ing to college
He is a different individual
and player than Durant, Greg
Oden and Carmelo Anthony,

upcoming schedule
Staff report
KANSAS STATE t:OLLt.t,IAN
The K-State baseball
team opens its Big 12 Con-
ference season when the Ne-
braska Cornhuskers arrive in
Manhattan today.
The Wildcats will be-
gin a three-game weekend se-
em against the Huskers at 4
p.m. today at Tointon Fami-
ly Stadium Coach Brad Hill's
squad is currently riding a
four-game winning streak, but
will have to play well against a
strong Nebraska team with a
10-game winning streak.
As was the case Tuesday
against Washington Slate, K
Slate will have to face a pitch-
ing ace, Nebraska's Johnny
Dom (2-0. 1.35 ERA)
A three-year lettcrman
and all- Big 12 performer who
is also second all-time in Ne-
braska history for victories,
Dom will pitch against a Wild-
cat team that has been strong
offensively lately.
Averaging more than
eight runs a game over the last
four home contests, the Wild-
cats will look to build on their
recent streak
Taking the mound for the
Wildcats will be senior piidi
erBrad Hurt (1-2.2 25 ERA)
Hutt is one of only two Big
12 pitchers to have already
thrown a complete game in
the 2008 season In his last
outing, Hutt pitched six solid
innings against the University
of Texas at San Antonio, when
he gave up seven hits and two
runs.
This season, third base
man Nate Tenbrink has been
the leader offensively for the
Wildcats
Tenbrink has hit .570 with
two homeruns and 12 RBI,
and he is leading the team
with 1 1 stolen bases.
lunior-college transfer
Dane Yelovich has improved
his season average to .400.

The K-State women's golf
team will look to get back on
track Monday as it travels to
Austin, Texas, for the Betsy
Rawls Longhorn Invitation-
al at the University of Texas
Golf Club
The three -day. 54 -hole
tournament will be one of
the toughest fields the Wild-
cats have seen this season,
featuring 17 teams overall, all
of which are ranked in dull
week.com's Top 100, with ten
of them in the Web site's Top
50
However, coach Kris-
li Knight said she isn't con-
cerned about with other
teams' rankings.
"For us to be successful
wu have to focus on our own
individual games," Knight

said. "We need to worry
about our own scores and not
press and get ahead of our-
selves We don't worry about
rankings, each one of our five
team members just needs to
take care of their own busi
ncss and not worry about
what the other teams are do-
ing"
The Wildcats have strug-
gled in their last two tourna-
ments, placing 15th in the
Central District Invitation-
al hi Parrish. Flu . and plac
ing 16th in the University of
Nevada at Las Vegas Spring
Rebel Invitational Knight
said the upcoming schedule
should help the team out
"We are going to have a
short and focused practice
today and identify and cor-
rect some things for individ-
uals," Knight said. "I think
it will be good playing back-
to- back tournaments even
though the result wasn't very
good for us There were some
positive things that happened
that we can build on, and
getting right back out there
should be beneficial for us."
The Wildcats hope to re-
gain their fall form, when
they garnered four top-three
finishes in five tournaments
For that to happen. Knight
said her team needs to relax
and trust themselves out on
the course.
I told the team Wednes-
day that they need to focus
on the process of executing
the shot," Knight said "They
just have to trust their swing
and just worry about the next
shot rather than worrying
about what happened earlier
If all five team members stay
focused, then we are going to
be fine"

PEOPLf IN THE NEIGHBORHOOD
Dietician controls recipes for thousands of students in residence halls
By Kristin Hodges
KANSAS STATE COl LH.IAN
Michelle Netson doesn't
think about food in measure
me tils of cups and teaspoons.
Instead, she uses pounds and li-
ters in her recipes to feed thou-
sands of mouths everyday.
Netson is the Computa-
tion project leader for Housing
and Dining Services The Com-
putation Recipe Management
System is a total recipe and in-
ventory management system
for the dining centers on cam-
pus that K State converted to
in 2005 after switching from
its 30-year-old recipe system
It holds mure than 7.000 break-
fast, lunch and dinner recipes
"There's everything,
from something as simple as
grilled cheese or macaroni and
cheese." Netson said 'We have
recipes for gelatin salads all the
way up to more complicated
recipes that might have two or
three recipes involved in tuak
ing one dish"
IN THE BEGINNING
Netson is a registered di-
etician and graduated with
both her bachelor's in dietcl
ics and master's degrees m
adult education from K-State
After working as a dietician at
Kramer Dining Center for a
few years, she took 1 5 years off
to raise her four daughters, and
then she came back to the uni-
versity in 1993 She worked as
an early shift manager and then
later became the Computation
project leader
When Netson started the
project, she said she was not
"computer savvy." though it has
taught her much
"It's been a real challenge,
but I was ready for a challenge,"
she said "Sometimes you can
enjoy your job. but you need
to take it to the next level, and
that's what this had done for
me."
Nelson said the system not
only holds recipes and invento-
ry, but it is also an ordering sys-
tem and cost system and holds
history about the recipes
OPEN TO ALL
Anyone can suggest a rec-
ipe idea, Netson said She said
students often request recipes
from home, and then a recipe
developer tries to adapt it, Ad-
aptation from home recipes can
be difficult because of the con-
versions to make mass quanti-
ties for the halls
Netson said some of the
recipes have been unusual, like
baked beans with root beer Re-
cently, Van Zile Dining Center
had fried alligator meat on its
menu
Nelson also has contribut-
ed to the recipes, including her
family recipe for chip chocolate
cake that is made at the dining
halls
"It's just a family recipe,
and it's super simple, which is
kind of my style," she said, "Its
not a special event cake, just
an easy, really good chocolate
cake."
Sometimes a recipe is
adapted that the hall leaders
decide not to use, but Netson
still keeps it in the system.
"Thai's why we have 7.000
recipes, because we don't get
rid of any of them," she said.
"We have recipes for rabbit,
and we haven't served rabbit in
a really long time But once you
develop the recipe and you go
to all the work, its easier to in-
activate il and still have it, be
cause you never know when
you'll want lo pull it up and use
it again."
Of the 7,000 recipes, typi-
cally 200 are used daily by the
staff at Derby Dining Center to
feed approximately 500 people
at breakfast, 1,300 at lunch and
1,400 at dinner Of the three
dining center on campus, Der-
by is the largest and produc-
es food products [or the oth-
er centers on a limited scale
Netson said different shifts of
workers that start at 5 30 am
prepare the recipes for the day
NOT JUST A COOK
Besides working with the
system, Nelson also consults
with dining hall residents who
have dietary issues and teaches
the class Food Production Man
age merit, where students evalu-
ate the products they make.
"It's fun," Netson said.
"There's a lot o( things that
enter into this kind of profes-
sion Food science, human re-
lationships, personnel man-
agement, jusl the dynamics of
working with students on cam-
pus. That's why it's never bor
ing and such a neat field to be
in"
Netson said her family
is important to her. and pic-
lures of her four daughters
and new granddaughter sur-
round her desk She said each
of her daughters were always
in charge of a night of cook-
ing growing up Now. three of
those grown daughters love to
cook, though one does not.
"1 like to try new recipes
at home, too," Nelson said. "I
have this theory about trying
new recipes at home My phi-
losophy is do il when you're
going to have company over,
or if you're going to a potluck,
so that you get more people's
opinion on it
"If it's wonderful, great,
you've exposed them lo some
thing new," she said. "If its aw-
ful, oh well, they'll help you eat
it."

Student Senate has just enough turnout to vote on bills
By Brandon Stt inert
• KANSAS STATE COLLEGIAN
Student Senate barely
made quorum with only 32
senators present at the begin
iiing of its Thursday evening
Meeting. This blocked a vote
ua an amendment to the Stu-
Udnt Governing Association
constitution - the vote re-
quired a nod from two-thirds
ut all voting members, not
.just (hose present
* ■ The amendment, which
ctarificd a part of the con-
stitution related to college
councils, had to be sent back
to the committee until after
spring break
An allocation was de-
nied to the Society for Ap-
preciation of Bharatiya Her-
itage and Arts after several
rounds of debates on the pros
and eons. The group request-
ed $2,700 to bring a guest
speaker to Manhattan High
School
Senator Bryan Cox de-
bated on the negative in re-
gards to the allocation. He
said he would rather not sec
students' money go to some
thing that might or might not
be successful
"This event, first of all, is
held off campus." said Cox,
junior in political science.
"We don't know that it's go
ing to have a great impact I
do not think that it is a wise
use of our funds '
Cox said there is no avail-
able space on campus during
the group's preferred night
because of already-scheduled
events
The allocation failed with
a vole of 6-36-0.
Two of the items on fi-
nal action that passed unani-
mously altered the wording of
bylaws and statutes Another
item increased student privi-
lege fees in order to maintain
the collegiate readership pro-
gram, which provides the dis-
tribution of four prominent
and area newspapers across
campus
The program was pre
viously paid for by Student
Centered Tuition Enhance
menu
Senator Clint Blaes, se
nior in agriculture communi-
cations and journalism, said
the Office of Student Activ-
ities and Services is taking
care of the cost so the tuition
enhancements can help to
start other new programs.
In two weeks, Senators
will vote on a resolution to
support a city-wide smoking
ban If passed, the legislation
will encourage city officials
to pass legislation banning
smoking in any public place.
including bars.
Vicki Nibarger came to
speak in favor of the bill and
told Senate to pass the reso-
lution after spring break
"Everyone deserves the
right to breath clean air," said
Nibarger, Kansas Grassroots
Advocacy manager for the
American Cancer Society
She said banning smok
ing has proven to have a neu
tral or positive effect on busi
nesses in 27 other Kansas to
cations that have a smoking

Oil campus grounds through

According to loe My-
ers, supervisor of grounds and
maintenance, spring is a busy
time for students on the cam-
pus grounds crew
"Early spring is dedicat-
ed to tasks like tree and shrub
pruning, shrub and flower-
bed preparation, pre-emergent
weed treatments and gener-
al cleanup of the winter grun-
ge," Myers said "Open house

are our guidelines We have
ctunput cleaned up by open

_ High-traffic areas like Hig-
inbotham Gale, Durland Plaza

Students have worked on the facilities crew tot more than a decade
"We also work wilh the hor-

Myers said there are cur
rently more than 20 students
employed on the grounds
crew Each crew member
works more than 12 hours ev-
ery week, with more hours
worked per week in the sum-
mer. However, there was a
time when a larger number of
students worked daily on the
K- State grounds
In the late nineteenth cen-
tury, each male student was re-
quired to do horticulture or
farm work on campus, accord-
ing to a June 1953 article in the
Alumni Association's K-Stater
magazine. Female students
were required to work for the
university by cooking, working
at the dairy, sewing ur DOtM
ing telegraphs.

ed the mandatory employment
as farm and garden iuduslri
:tl work Each student was n
peeled to complete five hours
of work each week during the
afternoons; the young men
who did this industrial work
became known as "p.m. boys."
The p.m. boys could be spotted
around campus and in fields
with shovels and pitchforks.
The industrial work was
compulsory from 1873 to 1«97
under the administrations of
K State Presidents John An-
derson and George Fairehild.

State students are still involved

Belfast Bombers
Stop by O'Malley's Alley for a Belfast
Bomber, a delicious mix of Guinness,
Irish cream and Jameson Whiskey. Other
bars will also have green beer and other
specials throughout the day.
Arthur Guinness began brewing stout
246 years ago In Dublin. It has
since become Ireland's
largest export,
selling more
than 2 million
pints per year.
According to the
Guinness Web
site, Guinness
Draught is best
served at 43
degrees with the
legendary two-part pour. First, tilt the
glass to 45 degrees and carefully pour
until three quarters full. Then place the
glass on the bar counter and leave to
settle. Once the surge has settled, fill the
glass to the brim It takes about 1 19.5
seconds to pour the perfect pint, But
don't fret. It's worth the wait.
Other beers
Guinness might be the most popular, but
Ireland has a large variety of great beers
Try Harp Lager, Smithwick's, Murphy's,
Kilkenny and any other Irish beer you can
get your bands on.
Irish Coffee
Start the morning off right with a
beverage that contains caffeine and
alcohol Combine a shot of Irish whiskey,
a cup of strong black coffee and 2-4
tablespoons of whipped cream. It's
perfect for cold weather and nasty
hangovers.
Black Velvet
This beverage can be made by
combining 1 pint of stout and 1 pint of
champagne. Stir well and pour into a
pre-chilled glass.
Hot Whiskey
This simple
concoction is so
powerful that it
can actually cure
a broken heart. If
that doesn't work,
take ten more in
quick succession.
Combine 1 shot
of Irish whiskey, I
slice of lemon, 4
cloves, 1 teaspoon
of sugar and 2 shots
of boiled water.

35th annual Kansas City
St Patrick's Day celebration
Kansas City's St. Patrick's Day had
humble beginnings. The 1 973 parade
only featured a painted green calf and
was billed "the shortest and worst*
parade in history, according to the
parade Web site. More than 500,000
people watched It in 2005, making
it one of the biggest St. Patrick's Day
parades in the country.
The parade begins at 1 1 a.m. Monday

Truman Road This year's theme is
"Growing Up Irish* and the Grand
Marshall is Danny O'Neill.
Athletics
If parades don't pique your interest,
try playing some popular Irish sports.
The Gaelic Athletic Association (GAA)
promotes hurling [equipment pictured
below), Gaelic football, handball,
rounders and Irish dance. Until 1971,
members of the GAA were prohib-
ited from playing non-GAA sports or
even attending those sports events as
spectators.
