Soluiiuns and information for all relationship types P solutions and information for all relationship types ■ DatingadvicE David Coleman walked onto the stage and said, It ' s not about your appearance, it ' s about your attitude. He then gave a small disclaimer; he wanted everyone to know he was going to be honest and might offend some people. Then, he had a pick-up line battle with the goal of finishing any pick-up line someone else started. Coleman is known as a date doctor, a real-life Hitch. An expert on dating and relationship advice, Coleman made his third consecutive appearance in Forum Hall Sept. 11. Carol Kennedy, director of health promotion and nutrition counseling, said the timing of Coleman ' s speech was important. There are 3,500 freshmen who are new to campus every year, Kennedy said. I think it ' s a great message and method to deliver timely healthy relationship information. Samantha Harlan, freshman in speech, said she was excited to listen to a real-life Hitch and find out what he had to say about relationships. I heard a lot about him, Harlan said. I was interested to hear someone give a good speech, since I am a speech communications major. Jokes, candy and laughter were all part of his program. If someone said something at any point in the show Coleman threw them candy. He was funny, and he had a lot of good information, Bailey Borck, freshman in open option, said. Some students like Jennifer Heiman, junior in sociology, said she heard Coleman speak last year and came back for more laughs and to hear the new information he had to give. Because Coleman always had new things to say, Kennedy said she would try and bring Coleman back to campus. He attracts a new audience, and I don ' t know who else can deliver this information in such a way, Kennedy said. The participants overwhelmingly appreciate his candid advice and humor. — Megan Scheuerman — Unafraid to participate. Kelsey Krueger. freshman in political science, interacts with Coleman while the audience laughs. It was very informative and inspiring. Krueger said.

reers Unaware ot how two weeks could change their lives, 40 children from inner-city Washington, D.C., boarded a plane and took oft tor a tlatter, hotter and smaller city in Kansas. Many of the children had never been on a plane before, but as part of the two weeks ahead of them on K-State at Salina ' s campus, they would get accustomed to tlying. As part of a dream more than two years in the making, K-State at Salina, through the Organization of Black American Pilots ' member Robert Newkirk, became involved in the Aerospace Flight Academy Camp. Heather Wagoner, events and marketing coordinator for Salina ' s department of continuing odtication, said while the idea was born two years ago, she, along with the department of continuing education and more than 25 members of Salina ' s faculty and staff, had less than a month to finalize class plans and off-campus activities for the children and their 10 chaperones. We are excited to put our big facilities together with Robert ' s ideas and work together to create this, Wagoner said. This is a building block year, and we hope that in years to come it will be something that will always be here. Before coming to Salina, the campers completed two weeks of camp at the University of the District of Columbia where they learned about weather conditions, parts of planes and the basics of how to fly, Jovonni Taylor, 15, camper, said. Campers continued their learning experience July 50 - Aug. 10 in Salina with classes in air traffic control, airport authority and nondestructi ' e testing. In addition, they left campus tor trips to the Kansas Cosmosphere, McPherson Water Park and the Army National Guard. Another aspect was that each camper got four hours of flying time. Taylor, who was initially uneasy about flying, quickly overcame his worries and landed tor the first time Aug. 6. My first time to actually land was yesterday and I was scared at first, he said. The plane kind of wobbled ... You know, taking off seemed easy to me, but landing tor me, 1 had to get used to the plane bouncing off the ground. Taylor said everything they had learned in the classes along with getting the chance to tly ga ' e him a newfound respect for pilots and the people responsible for safe flights. Now I know what you have to go through in the cockpit, and I understand they have to fight wind, he said. We depend on them to get from point A to point B, and now I understand what they have to go through to get us from point A to point B, other than just sit there and tly the plane. They can ' t lIo that. They have to watch and hear and listen and make sure they catch ewrything. i. ontniued on page i2 — (30 Student Life
