from page 19 their world THE CHALLENGES Curth and Griggs went home to Overland Park, Kan., Sept. 24 for their high school ' s Homecoming. As part of a tradition, the previ- ous year ' s cheerleaders came back and cheered during the second half of the Homecoming football game. The experience for Griggs did not turn out how she hoped. When coming down from a stunt, her pinky finger got caught on the girl below her and bent backwards. She thought she had broken her finger, but never had an X ray to confirm it be- cause she wanted to continue her season. Sept. 29, Griggs ' cheerleading coach moved her to the varsity squad. Totally didn ' t expect it at all, Griggs said. 1 thought this other girl was going to get it. I was really excited. The first game I was nervous and didn ' t do very good because I wasn ' t con- fident in myself. THE END We have our times, Curth said. Right now she is busy so she isn ' t picking up her stuff. Griggs felt the same about Curth and nei- In the Shawnee County Court- house Curth waits to see the dis- trict attorney Sept. 16. Curth re- ceived a speeding ticket for driving 50 mph in a 35 mph constr uction zone. She traveled to Topeka to get a diversion. The DA reduced her ticket to a non-moving violation at a cost of 5120.

The phone will ring at like one in the morning or something, Griggs said. She will jump out of bed and go down that thing (loft ladder) really, really fast and fall on her butt. Living together brought Griggs and Curth closer, but both said they liked in- dividual time. Being on dif- ferent squads and in differ- ent sororities allowed them to have separate lives and still be friends. We weregood friends, Criggssaid. Now we are best friends because you learn a lot about someone when you live with them. She has taught me things like being more outspoken and not to care what other people think about you. I love her. !don ' t have anything bad to say about her. We get along really good. We haven ' t fought at all. Curth said she learned from Griggs as well. She taught me to be nicer to people, Curth said. To be more respectful to people. She ' s a sweetheart. At Ekandebeny Indoor Complex Nov.24 Griggs practices a diamond head stunt. The team practiced five days a week. (Photo by Steven Dealing.° 22 student life

Sold for the HIGHEST BID With cash or check in hand, more than 200 students filled Goodnow Hall ' s second-floor lobby into the stairwell, waiting for Taman and Jane and other couples to be auctioned Jan. 27. We dressed up because we wanted it to be fun, said Jane look-a- like Devin Schehrer, sophomore in sec- ondary education. We got people laughing so they would bid. The Goodnow Date Auction pro- moted dating safety and supported Manhattan Women ' s Crisis Center. Judy Davis, Crisis Center executive director, spoke before the auction about battery and assault. I spoke about the Center ' s ser- vices, she said. They ' re at a unique age where folks are making decisions about intimate relationships that will influence the zest of their lives. The Hall Governing Board auc- tioned off six couples including resi- dence hall staff; Classy Cat Sara Evans, freshman in family and consumer education; and Student Body Presi- dent Jason Heinrich., senior in indus- trial engineering. We weren ' t selling the indi- vidual, Schehrer said. We were sell- ing the entire date. Date packages included bowling in the K-State Student Union to dates of eating at Gold Fork Casual Food Spirits and seeing Picasso at the Lapin Agile by K-State Theatre. Local businesses donated money and gift certificates for each date. HGB had hoped to raise $200 for the Crisis Center but ended the night with $2,000, Schehrer said. I was so pleased with our resi- dents, Schehrer said. All these poor college students were shelling out all this cash. Schehrer said she thought indi- viduals would pay about $20, but dates sold for more than $100. Aaron Kennedy, sophomore in interior archi- tecture, sold for $200. I didn ' t see anything wrong with the buying part, Kennedy said. We were raising money, and it was for a good cause. Susan Lytle, sophomore in second- ary education, won a date with Paul Ditmer, junior in elementary educa- tion, including dinner, a movie and a game of Pictionary, for $100 . Paul ' s a friend of mine, she said. Everyone was going for so much I couldn ' t let him go for less than $100. After she won, Ditmer agreed to cook beef stroganoff Feb 5. It ' s just a dish I make, Ditmer said. I ' m pretty good at it. The other half of the double date included Jessi Messer, sophomore in family studies and human services, and her boyfriend, Joel Yourdon, sophomore in math and business, who bid $150 for Messer. He didn ' t bid until the auction- eer said ' Going once, going twice, ' Messer said. He wanted to see how high they would go. After dinner, the couples teamed against each other to play Pictionary. Ditmer said he hoped Lytle and Yourdon received their $250 worth. Someone paid $100 for me, he said. There ' s a little bit of pressure to have a good time. They paid $250 for a double date. That ' s a lot of money. by staci hauschild 24 student life
