But K-State is not to be made fun of. K-State represents the practical, productive part of our society. It is the part that puts the cries for change and the useful ideas to work, It stands as a model of constructive change. So, the 1980 Royal Purple Staff decided we wanted to demonstrate the role that K-State plays in our society. We wanted to demonstrate, not only K-State as a producer of practical inte111- gensia, but the research and the contributions to higher education that it makes. We wanted to show the impact of K-State in the collegiate world. We also wanted to show what was happening at K-State from Spring 1979 to Winter 1980. We want to show that when it counts, K-State is there.
