The Wildcats entered their third home game not knowing it would end with the crowd bringing down both goal posts to celebrate the end of their 30-game winless streak. Emotions flew high and fans couldn ' t stop talking, like one exclaiming to his young son, Do you know the last time K-State won? I don ' t even think you were born, yet. The team proved what Snyder had known all along — they were able to win. Promotion and publicity for the team was at an all time high but the 2,814 student season football tickets sold marked a significant decline. Football tickets were priced at $42 for six games while basketball season tickets were $70. Season tickets weren ' t alone in price inflation. Tuition and fees increased by $50, a 6.8 percent increase over last year; residence hall room and board rose $180 per year. Students not only dealt with increased fees but increased enrollment as well. Some packed up their belongings and came to State expecting to find a place to live with little difficulty. What they found was housing so limited that lounges in residence halls were used as make-shift rooms and community members were asked to open their homes to students.

I don ' t even think you were born, yet. ♦ Jim Linot, senior in physical education and grounds keeping worker, cuts seed pods from a flowerbed on the east side of the Union.

Plenty of controversy arose when metered parking lots replaced the previous lots. In a $2. 7 million project, meters were installed in the south Union parking lot, behind Holton Hall and in front of Anderson Hall and Fairchild Hall. Senate did not actually find out until the end of the said Doug Holle, junior business senator. We were not in any of the planning. It was basically already decided and set into motion. Students also questioned the change of the Union Catskellar from a quiet study hang-out to a non-alcoholic bar. The first reaction (from students) was ' You took away my study space ' . But we as the Union are not taking space away, we are taking better advantage of the area, said Dennis Marstall, junior in political science and Union Governing Board member. The change will create a place where all students can go and have fun, give the Union a newer look and be a positive aspect for recruitment. Students question the change of a favorite study space to a bar. ♦ Parking meters around campus and in front of the Union were some of the newest additions to the campus this fall.
