t • » s s : t Initially; designed for football, making tracks jy TAKES F our horizontal lines and a paw print with the words Making Tracks easily identified Wild- cat Football ' 82. Steve Falen, graphic designer for University Relations, produced the design for the football ticket sales and fund-raising campaign. The design was originally intended for use only by foot- ball, according to Brian Rassette, ad- ministrative assistant of Intercollegiate Athletics. The idea was to have fun with foot- ball — enjoy it win, lose or draw, Rassette said. This year ' s season ticket sales showed the largest increase over a previous year with sales amounting to 16,000 tickets. It wasn ' t long before the catchy words and logo had dozens of takeoff s. Blue Key, senior honorary, which was in charge of Homecoming activities, chose The ' Cats are Back and Making Tr acks as the theme for the Homecom- ing week. We chose our theme in March. We knew the athletic department was using Making Tracks as a theme and we ad- ded The ' Cats are Back. By incor- porating their theme with ours it gave them added exposure, Dave Mueller senior in agricultural economics aad president of Blue Key, said. The part about ' Cats being be taken two ways — back f the alumni and and back for football team, he said Blue Key chose this theme because, You nee i theme you can play off o Be creative with, Mu e Mueller, nics and f Tom Wilkerson, owner of Balfour House, a specialty store in Aggieville, said that his company took up the new theme quickly. We tooled up for this last year early. It adds some charisma to K-State, he said. Wilkerson said they had lots of people bring in takeoffs of the design to have shirts made. The Senior Class was one of the first groups to incorporate the design into a T-shirt. Leaving Tracks at K-State was its motto. John Breeden, class president and senior in food science and industry, said, Sales went very well. We had trouble filling orders. The Leaving Tracks theme was ex- panded by Theta Xi fraternity for its road trip to Iowa. Members used Leav- ing Tracks at Iowa State as did the food service workers at Derby Food Center, who wore their shirts when ser- ving the football team before it left for Ames, Iowa. The Chi Omega sorority pledge class sold shirts with a Making Tracks logo for the K-State vs. University of Kansas football game. We didn ' t want to use words and we felt the ' Making Tracks ' logo said more than words, said Angie O ' Hara, ' reshman in pre-professional business administrafrfdn and designer of the Chi O shij f Besides using the entire Mak- ing Tracks logo, several designs used only the paw prints, either 4 one or in groups. When seen alone the paw is also identified with Clemson University ' s famous red and or- ange paw print. However, the paw print in purple is beginning to be identified with K-State. Wilkerson said he went through the jewelry pins at Balfour ' s factory, found the Clemson pin, had it changed to silver and purple and sold tons of them. The paws have also climb ed their way on and across several different shirts on campus. They ranged in size and pattern but will prob- ably remain to be seen for several more seasons. It ' ll last for the next couple years — the way purple pride did, Mueller said. —by Marcy Heesch king tracks

to vote for only one candidate for education senator when actually they could vote for up to three. The election was appealed by Melanie Berbohm, sophomore in pre-professional elementary education and write-in can- didate. The election was declared invalid by the Elections Committee and educa- tion senators were selected through an interview process by the Education Council. This was appealed by Alison Armer, junior in elementary education JeH Taylor and a winner of the original election, and the senators were finally chosen in a special election held in Bluemont Hall. Four students were elected to the Board of Student Publications which oversees the organization of the Col- legian and Royal Purple. Fifty-nine senators were chosen to represent students in each of the eight colleges and graduate school. A college receives senate representation according to its enrollment. For every 300 students On the ni ght of the election, Jerry Katlin, senior in management, recieves the information from Elec- tions Committee Chairwoman Diane Murphy that he has made it into the run-off election for student body president. Protesting the decision of Elections Committee not to allow him to run with Steve Eller as a candidate for student body president, Dick Bergen, junior in art, displays his discouragement by protesting in front of the Union. mwt fi i Andy Nels enrolled, the college receives one senator. Arts and Sciences, the largest college, has 16 senators representing the students enrolled. Reflecting at the end of his term, former student body president Bill Rogenmoser, senior in education, said, I ' m really relieved; I ' m tired of worrying about things constantly. But its been a very, very enjoyable year for me. — by Susan Somora campus eleclions 23
