Mariah Tanner, Chimes vice presi- dent and junior in human ecology, explains to Emily Simpson, junior in music education, how to write messages on the Valentine ' s Day candy grams. The group had diffi- culties finding a place to sell the candy grams. Because Smurthwaite was selling a similar product, Chimes members could not sell candy grams in the residence halls. Instead, they went to the greek houses and took phone orders. The new project only resulted in the sale of about 15 candy grams, which forced the group to plan more profitable fund raisers for the future. (Photo by Scott Ladd) On Feb. 13 members of Chimes prepare candy grams for delivery. The candy grams were sold on Feb 7-9, and were delivered to stu- dents on Valentine ' s Day. The candy grams were sold for $5. Each contained messages and Valentine ' s candy such as Russel Stovers Can- dies, peppermint nuggets and heart-shaped chocolates. Three dol- lars from each sale went to Chimes scholarship funds and new member selection, which required extensive paper work. (Photo by Scott Ladd) bj Jessica white - Vhimes junior honorary got into the Valentine ' s Day spirit by having a candy-gram sale. The candy grams, which contained sweets accompa- nied by a message, could be delivered anywhere in Manhattan on Valentine ' s Day. There is a total of seven heart-shaped candies in a variety of flavors in the package, Justin Kastner, junior in food science, said. They write down a cheesy message for their sweetheart and we will send it to them on Feb. 14. Candy grams cost $5 and $3 from each sale went towards Chimes scholarships and new member selec- tion, which involved a lot of paperwork. Hoping to market the fund raiser to a large number of students, members came up with a strategy. The week before Valentine ' s Day, members visited greek houses, promoting their candy grams. They planned to sell the candy grams Feb. 7, 8 and 9 in Kramer, Van Zile and Derby dining centers, Mariah Tanner, Chimes vice president and junior in human ecology, said. Unfortunately, not everything went as planned. Because of conflicts with other fund raisers, Chimes was not allowed to sell its candy grams in the residence halls. We could not sell in the residence halls because Smurthwaite was selling something similar at the same time, so we could only sell to the greek houses, Tanner said. The group only sold about 15 candy grams, Tanner said. We are going to have to look at another fund raiser, she said. Things look a little bleak right now. Toby Rush, Chimes president and junior in me- chanical engineering, said the group had not sold candy grams before. This is a pioneering idea, he said. We wanted to do something that would be fun for the whole group. Before deciding to do the candy grams, members had considered selling singing telegrams. That ' d be a lot of singing, and we aren ' t that good, Tanner said. Chimes 221

Taking a break during a College Night, Kyle Campbell, senior in chemical engineering, jokes with Niemann, while standing in line for the ice cream bar. The two were members of the Student Alumni Board which helped recruit high school juniors and seniors for K-State. This College Night was conducted in the Manhattan Holidome. (Photo by Darren Whitley) Addressing an audience of high school students and their parents, Casey Niemann, senior in agri-business, talks about the typical college student ' s schedule. Discussion among Student Alumni Board members and visiting high school students ranged from class loads and scheduling study hours to the many options of living arrange- ments offered to students.

The student ' s parents also had the chance to get involved in activities. During the evenings, parents divided into groups while the high school students talked about financial aid and dis- cussed the different colleges on cam- pus.

The 24 members of the Alumni Board visited seven different Kansas high schools during the year, helping juniors and seniors learn what to expect once they reached college. Our goal isn ' t to focus on one aspect, Amanda Evins, board president and senior in nutrition science, said. We do, however, promote group living. For example, we speak about different living conditions greek or residence halls. College Nights began by alumni board members showing the potential students different classes they could take and activities they could become involved in. Later in the evening, the students and their parents divided into two groups. Parents listened and asked questions about financial aid opportunities, while the students were given information about the various colleges on campus. At the beginning, we ' re all in a group together with parents and students, Melissa Hurtig, sophomore in mechanical engineering, said. We break up into life groups to talk about college life and into groups to talk about careers and classes. There are also alumni there to tell them about life after college. Becky Klingler, director of constituent programs for the KSU Alumni Association, said College Nights were educational for potential students and their par- ents. The college nights are very helpful to all students planning to attend K-State or not, she said. The parents get the opportunity to ask financial aid officers questions and the students get a chance to visit with alumni and real live K-State students. They get a chance to have their questions answered. Recruitment was not the main goal of the program. By presenting experiences of students at K-State, future students got a taste of what college at any university would be like. We approach it from a standpoint of presenting K-State in a friendly and comfortable way, Evins said. -Student Alumni Board- 223
