In an attempt to squelch the heated discussion, the barrier was painted purple Sept. 19. On Sept. 23, The Wall came down.

Because of parking shortages and in parking fines, many students rode to and the KSU Police a bike patrol. (Photo by Cary Conover) Everywhere students turned in the fall, they were faced with signs of an evolving campus. With finishing touches being put on Throckmorton Hall, construction crews were in the midst of a $28 million, 2-1 2-year Farrell Library proje ct and the student-funded Chester E. Peters Recreation Complex expansion. One aspect of campus construction spurred widespread debate: a plywood wall put up to protect pedestrians from Farrell ' s renovation. Students soon began to see The Wall as an artistic canvas and forum for free expression. But when The Wall was removed Sept. 23, the controversy didn ' t die. While students at the Manhattan campus buzzed about The Wall, students at K-State-Salina were talking about the hall — the new residence hall that housed 98 students and resident — as walls went up for the new campus center. Despite the obstacles construction presented, adapted. More rode their bikes to campus, and bike racks overflowed. Students weren ' t the only ones with pedal power, though: KSU Police employed a two-officer bicycle patrol that stirred controversy — and was briefly suspended — in the first few weeks of school after bicyclists argued they were being targeted. (Continued on page 4) blurring the boundaries fall semester brought a unique experience for students. For $20, students could experience an Airgasm by bungee jumping at Dick Edwards Ford on U.S. Highway 24. Bungee Boys, a company from Wichita Falls, Texas, set up the business. (Photo by Cary Conover) opening 3 (Continued from page 3) But the bike patrol wasn ' t all students spoke up about. A tuition increase drove Mark Tomb, sophomore in arts and sciences and student senator, to protest: He paid the entire $1,042.55 for in-state tuition and fees in nickels and dimes. Students found reason to celebrate amid the array of construction and financial woes. With a successful turnout at the Welcome Back Concert Aug. 28 in City Park, KSDBFM 91.9 proved the idea of a fall concert was still alive. Football fans came out in droves - an estimated 3,500 stormed KSU Stadium at the first Fan Appreciation Day, and 38,216 set a home opening - game record. Then on Oct. 6, the Cats beat the KU Jayhawks in Lawrence, 21-13, marking the first time in 25 years the team won on Jayhawk turf. Yet another achievement was showcased at the games: The K-State Marching Band stretched to 227 members — 100 more than the year before. Like the marching band, the Manhattan and Salina campuses experienced growing pains. With the city ' s annexation of K-State in the summer, students in residence halls learned they would be able to vote in city elections. But in the wake of the largest ever graduating class — 4,177 members — in May 1994, a new set of students defined campus. Whether the University focused on annexation, construction, higher tuition or improving reputation, the year ' s events would blur the boundaries for years to come.

Sights and sounds of construction bombarded students returning for the fall semester and blurred the boundaries of campus. Controversy brewed when a plywood wall separating students and Farrell Library took on greater meaning. But on many occasions, students united, whether in school spirit, financial hardship, boot-kicking celebration, transportation difficulties or working toward racial and ethnic harmony. student life blurring the boundaries student life 7 the call of the wild by Janet McPherson While listening to Shootin ' Blanks, a Manhattan band, Mike Baker and his girlfriend, Ila Reed, both Topeka residents, hold each other. Shootin ' Blanks and Rio opened for LeDoux Sept. 18. (Photo by Cary Conover) Chris LeDoux fans answered the call of the wild with cowboy hats, cups of beer and flying Copenhagen cans. Almost 2,400 people sat on lawn chairs and blankets and danced in a fenced-off area at the Tuttle Creek State Park River Pond Area during the Chris LeDoux concert Sept.18. The crowd waited for three hours through two Manhattan-based opening bands, Rio and Shootin ' Blanks, before LeDoux took the stage, but students said LeDoux ' s performance was worth the wait. I thought he was wonderful, Tisha Cline, freshman in elementary education, said. I ' d seen him before, and he was better this time. He puts so much energy into it. LeDoux wooed the crowd with love songs, including When I Look at You Girl, and wowed the audience with the upbeat songs Hooked on an 8-Second Ride, Call of the Wild and Cadillac Ranch. The cowboy-musician was showered with cans of Copenhagen snuff when he sang the LeDoux original Copenhagen. I bought him a can, Mara Barngrover, senior in animal sciences and industry, said. Barngrover, Rodeo Club president, was one of 35 students who were involved behind the scenes and on stage. She worked in the parking area and helped set up the concert site. Rodeo Club was paid $500 to help with set-up, tear-down, parking and security, she said. Troy Warnken, owner and manager of TW Longhorn ' s, asked the club to help with the concert and provide Weber Arena as an alternative concert location in case of rain, she said. Rodeo Club member Rhonda Ward, senior in animal sciences and industry, planned to help with security in the park. Although she didn ' t remember anything about the concert day, she had a keepsake she would never forget. Ward was on horseback in the park when her horse reared up and went over on its back. The horse landed on Ward ' s legs and then rolled away from her. She spent 24 hours in the hospital with a slight concussion. The worst thing about it was I didn ' t get to see Chris LeDoux, Ward said. LeDoux had to leave Manhattan after the concert for another show. He sent Ward a picture on which he wrote he was sorry he couldn ' t come see her, but hoped she got well soon. Other students had better luck. I saw a lot of people I hadn ' t seen in a year or so, Amie Arensdorf, senior in animal sciences and industry, said. Arensdorf said the show was good, but she wasn ' t impressed with LeDoux ' s new material. I wish he ' d played his older stuff, Arensdorf said. Barngrover said she enjoyed the show because LeDoux played to the crowd. He can relate to people who rodeo, she said. That ' s a lot of what his songs are about. That ' s pretty cool. 8 ledoux LeDoux performs one of his songs during the beginning of his act at the Tuttle Creek River Pond Area.

(Photo by Darren Whitley) taking advantage of a moment in the spotlight, students flocked to karaoke stages at local bars. Through singing and mimicking popular songs from recent decades, students alleviated stress and flirted with fame. Although some who did karaoke were talented singers, the nature of karaoke gave others the chance to shine. I ' m terrible, but no one expects you to do well, especially in a bar, said Robin Hartman, junior in human development and family studies and pre-law. Valerie Michaelis, sophomore in kinesiology, did karaoke just to have fun. Half the time, the fun part is not being a good singer, she said. On occasion, it took a little prodding to get singers on stage, Hartman said. Some people will do it only if they get dared — others just live it up, she said. Some students preferred to sing in groups. I ' d never sing by myself, nor would I do it to impress a girl, Jarrod Fish, senior in finance and management, said. Although karaoke was a game for some, it was a business for others. Four students, who called themselves Grand Central Station, became regulars at karaoke events during the past three years. Doug Walsh, junior in agricultural economics, said Grand Central Station formed when the four were freshmen in the Alpha Gamma Rho fraternity. The biggest attraction to karaoke, Walsh said, was being the center of attention and getting to perform. A friend of ours asked us to sing for a bachelorette party, and we took her up on her offer. Ever since, the word has been out, Casey Niemann, junior in agricultural business and milling science, said. They said they stayed away from slow songs and believed dance moves and costumes also improved their performances. One of our craziest performances was when we came out on the stage as the Jackson Five and stripped down to the Bee Gees gear to the music we had dubbed, Chris Mullinix, junior in animal sciences and industry, said. Doug Roney, junior in mechanical engineering and milling science and management, said the group did not do karaoke just to win prizes. We just like to have fun, and we ' re not afraid to take the limelight, he said. Even though the group members were outgoing, Roney said, they still got nervous. I get nervous when we don ' t have as much practice or if we are performing for an older crowd, he said. Hartman said she believed karaoke would continue to be a popular form of entertainment for college students. The first time I saw karaoke was when we got to college, she said, and I think it has evolved from a formal thing to a more casual, social thing. One of our craziest performances was when we came out on the stage as the Jackson Five and stripped down to the Bee Gees gear to the music we had dubbed. — Chris Mullinix, junior in animal sciences and industry karaoke 11 fans feed the frenzy by Wade Sisson fans with great expectations came in swarms to KSU Stadium in a preseason Fan Appreciation Day. The football feeding frenzy following K-State ' s 1993 Copper Bowl victory brought about 3,500 Cat fans to the Aug. 25 event. If you ' d had one of these 10 years ago, you ' d have had 20 people here, John Havlin, associate professor of agronomy, said. It ' s been remarkable watching the transition. Coach Bill Snyder, introduced as the man who ' s rewriting the history of K-State football, spoke of that transition as he introduced his coaching staff to the fans. There ' s more people here today than when we first played ball here, Snyder said. Russ Ewy, graduate student in regional and community planning said he was surprised Snyder hosted such an event. He was a secretive person when he first got here, Ewy said. When he first came here, he installed the green mesh on the fence to avoid attention. There was no escaping attention for Snyder and the players, who were inundated with fans. Autograph seekers engulfed senior quarterback Chad May in a circle of outstretched arms holding T-shirts, notebooks, footballs, posters and K-State license plates. For May, the day was a way for the team to give thanks. It was great for the kids, May said. We wanted to give our thanks to the fans. It was something I felt we needed to do. It was great for the players, too. This is perfect, senior offensive tackle Barrett Brooks said. There ' s nothing like playing for people who like you. This is wonderful. I haven ' t written my name this many times in the four years I ' ve been in college. Fan support could decide a season, Mo Latimore, defensive line coach, said. It sets the pace for the season. It gets the team motivated to play hard. That ' s what college football is all about — hearing the fans screaming for the team. One former K-State football player said he was overwhelmed by the crowd ' s enthusiasm. There ' s more people here today than there were for our last game against Colorado my freshman year, David Reynolds, running back from 1974 to 1979, said. The interest is incredible now Five-year-old Ashley Bonjour waits for her mother to take a picture of her next to sophomore wide receiver Kevin Lockett. About 3,500 Wildcat fans descended on KSU stadium Aug. 25 for Fan Appreciation Day. (Photo by Cary Conover) Senior quarterback Chad May is swamped by fans as they wait for autographs.

The two women said in-line skating was a good form of exercise and recreation, (Photo by Cary Conover) France takes her wrist protectors off after an afternoon session of in-line skating.

For inexperienced in-line skaters, stopping caused them to fall and was a source of injury. Above: France, Emily Willis, sophomore in business, and Melanie Sumner, junior in secondary education, skate in front of Leasure Hall on a Sunday afternoon. France and her friends said they liked to skate on campus late in the afternoon because they had almost the entire campus to themselves. (Photos by Cary Conover) Combating congestion caused by campus construction, students found in-line skating a quick and functional way to travel to class. It (in-line skating) cuts five minutes off of my walking time and about three minutes off from riding a bike. I timed it going to registration so I ' d know how much lead time to allow, Chris Learning, senior in park resources management, said. In-line skating replaced bike riding for some students because traffic paths were rerouted around construction sites. Frankly, it ' s more of a hassle finding a place to put my bike, Learning said. It ' s hard to find a place to chain the thing up or to find a place to ride it where I won ' t get a ticket. Although in-line skaters didn ' t have to worry about being issued tickets, they had to weigh the chance of injuries and maneuvering around students against getting through campus faster. To reduce the severity of injuries, some skaters used proper protective gear. Others found the safety equipment restrictive. I wear hand protective gear, but that ' s it, James Punohu, senior in hotel and restaurant management, said. It ' s uncomfortable, hot, and it decreases mobility. Opportunity for injury decreased when the sidewalks were in good shape. Campus is one of the smoother surfaces around town, Punohu said. Shannon Yust, junior in psychology, also preferred campus sidewalks to those downtown. You have room to move around and work on your moves, especially right down the middle of campus. There are only small cracks in between the sidewalk squares on campus, not like the sidewalks in town that have tree roots pushing through them, Yust said. You can skate there in the evening, too, because campus is so well lit. No one will bother you, and you feel secure. Students also skated for exercise. Some students skated recreationally in city parks and around the Tuttle Creek River Pond Area. Becca Rademann, junior in milling science and management, said she found remote and scenic places to skate because campus was too congested. I do it more as a stress reliever. I love to be outside, and I ' d rather do that than go to the Rec (Complex) any day, Rademann said. Punohu also preferred in-line skating as a form of exercise. It ' s good exercise and a really good time, Punohu said. It ' s a rush. Chris Learning, senior in park resources management, dons knee pads outside Denison Hall. Learning said he chose to skate to class every day because it was faster than walking or riding a bike. (Photo by Cary Conover) in-line skating 15 writing on the wall by Chris Dean the Wall. Built to protect students from Farrell Library ' s construction and expansion, The Wall became the centerpiece of controversy. Phrases such as Scool Suks, ' along with some profanity, and sexual and ethnic slurs, decorated the plywood barrier and stirred a debate about vandalism and freedom of expression. The administration ordered facilities to paint The Wall Sept. 19. A lot of really controversial items were on The Wall, (and) the shop was asked to take a look at painting it and cleaning it up a little bit, Randy Slover, director of facilities maintenance, said. So, we decided to paint it purple. K-State invested $320 in paint and overtime pay for workers to cover up The Wall. Some were upset about the decision. I understand why some of the more vulgar graffiti had to be covered up, but I sympathize with the artists who did really neat work and had it lost because of a couple vulgar sayings, Mike Newcomb, freshman in pre-medicine, said. The following day, student artists went to work on the newly painted Wall. Among the artwork was a large foot labeled ' Administration ' stepping on a group of stick people labeled ' Students. ' Artwork multiplied, and University officials decided The Wall had become a nuisance. There would be people who would want to stop and read what was going on, and there would be a press of people coming from both sides, Jerry Carter,director of facilities planning and University architect, said. It was getting to a point were The Wall wasn ' t providing for the safe passage of students, faculty and staff. Sept. 22, the day before The Wall came down, a group of students sponsored a Student Senate resolution called Save The Wall to stop its removal. Steffany Carrel, legislation co-sponsor, said the University should have strived to maintain The Wall as an avenue of free expression. It ' s protection from construction and an outlet for the artistic minds of campus, Carrel, senior in journalism and mass communications, said. Some students disagreed. I feel that The Wall was the private use of the University, and the students shouldn ' t have put things on it, John Potter, sophomore in finance, said. The profanity and the personal attacks against Pat Bosco (dean of student life) and others were offensive, he said. Hatred has no place at a university. Students walk past The Wall as workers replace the plywood with a chain-link fence. Although University officials cited offensive graffiti as the cause of its removal, some students blamed the upcoming Family Weekend.

Peters Recreation Complex were slated for completion in summer 1995. Above: Two Farrell Library chairs were among items selected for removal. (Photos by Cary Conover and Todd Feeback) The $28 million expansion and renovation to Farrell Library began in March 1994. The project, located in the heart of campus, rerouted campus paths. The renovation doubled the library ' s shelving capacity and added 2,000 seats while maintaining a Gothic architectural style. (Photo by Cary) Conover) noisy construction sites, a lack of parking spaces and rerouted paths through campus were the result of multiple construction projects. The projects created building and bother as the University focused on meeting the growing needs of students and faculty. Inconvenience is the price of progress, Tom Rawson, vice president of administration and finance, said. The $28 million Farrell Library expansion and renovation caused campus paths to be rerouted. It ' s weird for people in residence halls because they have to walk all the way around, Lisa Grey, senior in secondary education, said. It irritated me that I couldn ' t walk down (Mid) Campus Drive. The project was expected to cost $28 million. Students contributed $5 million in student fees, $5 million came from private sources and $18 million was appropriated by legislation with the support of Gov. Joan Finney. Ideally, it would be better to build a new building, Brice Hobrock, dean of libraries, said. This is going to be one of the most complex projects ever done in Kansas. The design, Hobrock said, called for wrapping Farrell Library ' s exterior with a new lime-stone layer of Gothic and Romanesque details that harmonized with its campus surroundings. The collegiate Gothic style matches the original north section of the library with buildings like Willard Hall and the Putnam and Van Zile residence halls, Hobrock said. The library ' s new south and east Romanesque facades, with their arches and towers, will resemble Fairchild, Dickens and Holton halls. Some of the special features planned were a grand entry overlooking a garden terrace, a three-story main lobby, chandeliers and balconies on the third and fourth floors, study alcoves with electronic access, a five-story apse facing the east and restoration of the 1927 Gothic reading room. Renovations were expected to double shelving capacity and make the library more adaptable, Hobrock said. The renovations will make Farrell more flexible, open and wired to accommodate electronic advances, Hobrock said. The architects planned to expand student seating to 2,000 high quality seats, enabling the library to accommodate 10 percent of the student body. Before renovations, seating capacity was 850, and many (Continued on page 20) Construction workers dig near the south entrance of Willard Hall, working to complete the foundation of the Farrell Library addition. The Art Building, formerly located east of Farrell, was torn down to make space for the addition, which increased the total amount of seats from 850 to 2,000. (Photo by Cary Conover) construction 19 detour (Continued from page 19) of those seats weren ' t high quality, Hobrock said. The project, which was expected to expand Farrell by 153,000 square feet, was scheduled to take 30 months, but the construction crew planned to have it done in 25 months, Hobrock said. Construction was scheduled to be finished by September 1996. In the meantime, the project created hassle for library employees. The renovation makes patrons have more questions, said Sonya Thompson, sophomore in secondary education and library student assistant. It ' s a little more work directing people because more people need help, she said. There is a lot more confusion about where things are at or where they should be. While renovations to Farrell were inconvenient for pedestrians, complex for designers and more work for library personnel, students were enthusiastic about the new opportunities the finished library would create. I ' m excited about the expansion, Bob Eichkorn, junior in pre-medicine, said. The renovations will provide students with a better-organized library where they can find information more readily. Arya Yarpezeshkan, junior in life sciences, was proud of the legacy the student body would leave. Our money is going to a project that future students will enjoy and benefit from, he said. Farrell wasn ' t the only campus location where construction projects rerouted traffic. The entrance to campus at 14th Street and Anderson Avenue was closed for construction of the Marianna Kistler Beach Museum of Art. Nelson Britt, director of the museum, said upon completion, the Beach Art Museum would be a milestone that would set K-State and the surrounding community apart. The way I like to put it is that we will have a magnificent museum in a wonderful location on campus, Britt said. The museum, named for Marianna Kistler Beach of Hays, whose husband Ross donated $2 million to the project, was being built in the southeast corner of campus near Thompson Hall. The 25,000 square-foot museum would contain five galleries, a 140-seat assembly hall, large commons area, bookstore and cafe. While work on the art museum had just begun, construction on the Chester E. Peters Recreation Complex, a $7.8 million project, was almost complete. Slated for completion in summer 1995 after an estimated 18 months of expansion, the Rec Complex would have four more basketball courts, a 10,000 squarefoot weight room, an aerobic multipurpose room and a oneeighth-mile track for running and walking. Down the road from the Rec Complex, the Throckmorton Plant Sciences Center completion was celebrated with a ribbon-cutting ceremony Oct. 14 after 15 years of planning. Phase one of construction began in 1979. The $18 million first phase was completed in 1981, Gary Paulsen, professor of agronomy, said. Phase two consisted of final construction of the Greenhouse Complex and Throckmorton. Throckmorton is a different kind of field of dreams, Pat Roberts, U.S. congressional representative from Kansas, said. It will attract the top scientists and students from around the world. At a cost of $27 million, Throckmorton expanded to 225,000 square feet. Autumn leaves cover the ground at the site of the future Marianna Kistler Beach Museum of Art. The 25,000 square-foot museum, which will be located east of Thompson Hall, will contain five galleries, a 140-seat assembly hall, a classroom and a large commons area.

What I ' m interested in doing is supporting independent bookstores, he said, so they don ' t go the way of the corner grocery stores. (Photo by Cary Conover) the dark mind of fiction roared into a dreary Aggieville at high noon Oct. 15. A handful of enthusiastic fans caught the early arrival of horror writer Stephen Ki ng on his Harley. He stopped at Varney ' s Book Store, the seventh stop on his selfproclaimed low-rent, 10-city, coast-to-coast jaunt, during the Wildcats ' football game against Nebraska. It was like The Stand ' happened here and everyone was dead, King said during a media conference at Varney ' s. Then, all of a sudden, there was a vast bestial roar. It just about knocked me off my bike. We came into town just as K-State had scored. Varney ' s sponsored King ' s reading Oct. 15 in McCain Auditorium. King opened in McCain to a sold-out crowd and a standing ovation. Citing the influence of his mother ' s childhood stories and the tale of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde, King talked about his writing style. I guess I just like to gross people out, King said. I guess I thought if you can write it down, verbalize, the worst thing that can happen, then maybe it won ' t scare you anymore. In addition to promoting his book, King read from Insomnia and discussed the importance of supporting independent bookstores. Independent bookstores and independent-bookstore employees grow writers, he said. My wife (author Tabitha King) is a minimalist writer. If you don ' t stock the minimalist writers, you don ' t give them a chance. Matt Bechtold, sophomore in English and journalism and mass communications, said he gained more from King ' s visit because of the author ' s laid-back approach. I liked the informalness of it and his use of humor, especially in answering questions, Bechtold said. (I liked) the fact that he came here and was so up front with the audience. Throughout his talk, King plugged Varney ' s and shouted take that, chains. He asked the audience not to purchase copies of his book at a chain store. During the audience question session, Kathy Adamczyk, M anhattan resident and Waldenbooks employee, challenged King ' s claim that chain stores lacked the handselling practice he championed as a quality of independent stores. He said that people in the chain stores don ' t care, but they do, Adamczyk said. I don ' t think he is hurting the chain stores. I think he is hurting himself with the chain stores. King, whose books were sold in independent bookstores first, said becoming a successful writer had its drawbacks. He explained his reclusive behavior and why his last book tour was more than a decade ago. I don ' t like being a celebrity. I don ' t like being treated like one. I don ' t know what people want from me, King said. What I have to give I put in my books. Promoting his latest book, Stephen King speaks to a sold-out crowd in McCain Auditorium Oct. 15.

Students often roamed between bars in Aggieville. (Photo by Cary Conover) trouble stemming from underage drinking, public intoxication, bar fights and fake identification complicated having a good time in Aggieville. Sherri Eilert, senior in elementary education and waitress at Rock-A-Belly Deli, frequented Aggieville at least twice a week. It i s kickin ' on Friday and Saturday night. I go down, usually to Rock-A-Belly and have a drink and see my friends, Eilert said. Everything is within walking distance. That is important because people aren ' t driving drunk. You get to see a lot of people and fun is centralized. Before any drinking could be done, students first had to get past the bouncer. We just recently started (checking identification) at the doors, Eilert said. We make an effort, especially after 10 p.m. We have a lot of regulars (but) if I don ' t know someone, I check their IDs. Instead of borrowing or creating fake IDs, some minors tried to get by with their real IDs. I ' m sure there are a lot of fake IDs circulating around. We can ' t catch everything. Most minors are brazen enough to hand me a real one. I guess maybe they think I ' ll just look at the photo and serve them, Eilert said. I ' m amazed that they think it will work, like we don ' t even read them. We do. For underage drinkers, getting into Aggieville required more then a fake ID. Dana Lee, senior in psychology, said sneaking into an Aggieville bar before he came to K-State meant paying extra. We bribed the bouncers, he said. I had to pay $7 to get in. When Aggieville bars were full, admission was difficult. Nathan Havercroft, graduate student in chemistry and bouncer at Lucky BrewGrille, said on the weekend they allowed one student in the bar for every two who left. Things get crowded and tempers flare when it is crowded. People bump into each other, spill drinks and the place gets warm, Havercroft said. Bouncers at Lucky BrewGri lle worked to control the crowding and watch for fights. We watch for anything that might flare up, Havercroft said. Fights start over one guy spilling another ' s beer or the usual two blokes fighting over a girl, Havercroft said. We stop everyone else from coming in until it ' s over. We always separate the offending parties. If it gets rowdy, we take it outside. If they start breaking glasses and tables, who knows what they ' ll do to people. If fights broke out, Eilert said alcohol was almost always involved.

The wait staff watched the drinkers and called rides for them. We have a taxi on call, and we don ' t hesitate calling them, Eilert said. When someone is drinking too much and getting out of control, we call a taxi or tell a friend. We make sure someone knows. There are a lot of (designated drivers) at sororities and we call them the most. For some students, a night in Aggieville ended with a liquor violation. Manhattan had proportionally more liquor violations than other Kansas college towns, according to Kansas Bureau of Investigation reports. Lt. Buddy Mays, of the Riley County Police Department, gave three reasons for the high number of violations: an increase in the number of people who broke the law, an increased police presence and the fact that Aggieville bars were concentrated within a small area. My friend and I were walking out of Kite ' s in Aggieville and he had an open can of beer and a cop came up to us and asked if we could afford a $100 fine for one open container, Ryan McCune, junior in architectural engineering, said. He just made us pour it out, though. Some students avoided Aggieville because of the noise. James Smith, graduate student in human ecology, went out early in the week. I ' ve never had a good time in Aggieville on the weekend. I come on Monday and Tuesday. On the weekend, there are just too many rude, obnoxious people. I won ' t get mixed up down here or fight the crowd for a beer, Smith said. I ' m a graduate student. I don ' t have a lot of free time and I don ' t want to spend it down (in Aggieville) with the noise. 26 law trouble Cindy Walker, senior in secondary education, looks at a friend while standing next to Alisha Rosa, senior in hotel and restaurant management, as she socializes at Rowdy Trouty ' s.

The Oct. 2 Interfaith Dialogue took place in the International Student Center. (Photo by Darren Whitley) the language of harmony was spoken by leaders representing religious and cultural campus organizations Oct. 2-7. During Racial Ethnic Harmony Week, students defined by their religious beliefs and ethnic identities talked openly and cel ebrated common goals. The Interfaith Dialogue, Oct. 2, brought members of the Jewish, Islamic and Christian doctrines together to discuss the role of faith in the journey toward peace. Moderating the event, the Rev. Don Fallon, coordinator of religious activities, spoke about squelching violence as a first step. We are very aware of violence and how faith, our three faiths, may deal with the question of violence within ourselves and work toward peace, Fallon said. Three speakers led 70 students in the dialogue. Sister Mary Christine Fellerhoff, from Sister of Saint Agnes in Milwaukee, said ordinary people, not the experts, would solve the problems of violence. If religion is one of the boxes we put people in, then it will be part of the problem, she said. The Christians ' answer to violence is to take seriously Christ ' s message of love. The Islamic faith was represented by Hamed Ghazali, vice president of the Islamic Association of North America. He stressed inner peace and Muslims ' relationship to society. If I feel like the community cares for me and takes care of me, I will never have violence toward the community, said Ghazali, graduate student in educational curriculum and instruction. Rabbi Larry Karol, from the Shalom Temple in Topeka, spoke about treating others with respect. The fundamental views of Judaism include to love your neighbor as yourself, he said. The religious leaders also addressed the idea of working toward peace on campus and in the local community. Karol suggested groups unify and work toward similar goals. I have found that people in faith groups that are divergent can come together best for a common cause, he said. But the issues in which people disagree have to be dealt with. Karol cited the success of a program that allowed young students to play and talk with children of different religions. They get together and learn from each other, he said. They don ' t go away agreeing with each other but knowing each other. Li stening and getting involved with people from other groups was important in forging a mutual respect, Karol said. I think we, all three, have heard echoes of tradition in each other, he said. Brian Buford, junior in psychology and member of K-State ' s committee on religion, said interfaith dialogues would solve problems. This is something that needs to be done, Buford said. Personally, I didn ' t know a lot about the Jewish or Islamic faiths and (Continued on page 30) Phil Anderson, speech instructor, turns the microphone over to the Rev.

During the week, students were invited to attend meetings for Black Student Union and express their opinions through poetry at the Oct. 3 UPC-sponsored poetry reading. Zev Kedem spoke of his experiences as a Holocaust survivor and drew an overflow crowd of 1,058 to Forum Hall. Kedem, an engineer and documentary filmmaker, served as a consultant to Steven Spielberg ' s 1993 Oscar-winning epic, Schindler ' s List. Kedem said he dealt with years of internalizing the trauma after seeing the film. I discovered a language (through the film) to at least discuss what happened to me, he said. Kedem was 8 when his family was forced by the Nazis to live in the over-crowded ghetto of K rakov and later the work camp Plaszow in his native Poland. The degradation, even to a child during the Holocaust, was so difficult, so insidious that I would not speak about it for 50 years, he said. The only objective for a child of that age was to see if you could beat the system and live for another day. At Plaszow, Oskar Schindler enlisted Dr. Leon Gross, Kedem ' s stepfather, to treat his factory workers. Subsequently, Kedem and his mother were placed on Schindler ' s list. When Schindler moved his factory to Brinnlitz, Czechoslovakia, Kedem was sent to the Auschwitz concentration camp where a number was immediately tattooed on his forearm. I had tears of joy and a little discomfort, he said. I realized that if the Nazis had investe d enough to put a number on us, then they weren ' t going to kill us — that night, anyway. Stressing the evils of blind hatred, Kedem discussed the extreme levels of racism he endured. It wasn ' t just destroying one nationality— it was denigrating and humiliating people to levels lower than that of humans, he said. Kedem was cared for by American soldiers after fleeing Auschwitz at the end of World War II. A generation later, he found his mother, Selma. As part of the last generation of Holocaust survivors, Kedem believed there was a message for everyone in his experience. We must never forget the evil that happened to that little boy and millions of others like him, and, most importantly, we must never let it happen again, he said. His message was heard by an audience of mixed racial and ethnic groups. I was astounded by the crowd outside, Libby Rittmaster, senior in Spanish and Latin American studies, said. They weren ' t just coming because it was a Jewish issue but because it was a world issue. I think it struck a deeper core. Racial Ethnic Harmony week ended Oct. 7 after students walked in unity from the Vietnam Veterans Memorial through campus.

The original Broadway production of Evita garnered seven Tony Awards, including Best Musical in 1980 and a 1981 Grammy for Best Original Cast Album. Above: At a Union rally for Juan Peron, played by Chris Hensel, the working class endorses his presidential bid during a scene from Evita. The Oct. 18 performance in Manhattan followed a tour in Arkansas. (Photos by Todd Feeback) the hauntingly beautiful score for Andrew Lloyd Webber ' s internationally known and acclaimed musical Evita resounded through McCain Auditorium Oct. 18 before a sold-out crowd. Constant movement, dancing and love ballads reflected the Latin American love affair Argentina had with Eva Peron. Evita captured the passion and charisma of Peron, Argentina ' s celebrated spiritual leader born in 1919. Themes in Evita included a competition for the spotlight fought through verbal duels, and the role of power a charismatic figure had in stealing the allegiance of a nation. The original Broadway production garnered seven Tony Awards, including Best Musical in 1980 and a 1981 Grammy for Best Original Cast Album. Belting out the notable title song, Don ' t Cry For Me, Argentina, Eva, played by Kerri Jill Garbis, was responsible for keeping the tempo and musical rhythm at fever pitch. The company of Mini-Mac Inc. toured the United States and Canada from September until April. The players performed at K-State after a stay in Arkansas. Richard Martin, director of McCain Auditorium, said the production was originally scheduled to be a matinee, but the travel and time required for set-up dictated a 7 p.m. starting time. It was essentially a sold-out performance, Martin said. We sold 1,650 tickets, but that doesn ' t include ushers, press and such. The traveling production used folding chairs, scaffolding, a large door on wheels and other minimal props for the performance. But audience members in the balcony were not able to see the movie-screen pictures of Peron. They were also unable to see special effects farther back on stage. Laura McGill, senior in English, said she enjoyed the music and stage presentation even though technical difficulties plagued the performance. The sound problems made it difficult to hear the narrator, and I was even in the front row, McGill said. (It was a) really neat stage presentation, and (it was) too bad the whole audience did not get to see all of the effects. Melissa Benkelman, senior in elementary education, said the creative staging made the production more interesting. You have to realize that it isn ' t a naturalistic show, she said. The set is to just give you an impression of the scene. Benkelman said she was delighted by the show. I had seen it before as a high-school production, she said, and it was really exciting to see a professional production. Garbis ' character, Peron, expresses her opinion of an angry messenger from the aristocracy. Evita was performed before a sold-out crowd of 1,650.From September until April, the company of Mini-Mac Inc. toured the United States and Canada giving performances.

I just started thinking about where it (meat) came from, Brad Shank, graduate student in mathematics, said. Above: Some vegetarians found cooking at home easier than eating in restaurants. (Photo illustration by photo staff) Choosing a vegetarian lifestyle meant making a change in eating habits. I don ' t go out that much and have a lot of cookbooks, Nina Moore, senior in elementary education, said. (Photo illustration by photo staff) being a vegetarian on a predominantly meat-eating campus had its challenges. There are times I am just infuriated, Nina Moore, senior in elementary education, said. People won ' t accept the fact that I ' m a vegetarian, and that I don ' t have this philosophy I ' m ready to rattle off. Brad Shank, graduate student in mathematics, had similar experiences. I don ' t usually tell people because they react so weird, he said. That weird reaction included stereotypes about vegetarians. They think you recycle everything and have compost piles, said Zachary Baze, junior in journalism and mass communications and theater. I guess that ' s because a lot of vegetarians are like that, he said. They ' re really devoted to other causes. One of those causes was compassion for animals. P.J. Lakhani, senior in physics and electrical engineering, maintained a vegetarian lifestyle because of her religious beliefs. We believe in nonviolence to all living things, said Lakhani, who practiced Jainism, a mixture of Hinduism and Buddhism. When she was 10, Lakhani ' s parents gave her the choice to be a vegetarian. I was convinced that nonviolence was the way to go, she said. Others considered eating animals unappetizing. I took an anatomy course my senior year of high school, and when I could start identifying the muscles and nerves in what I was eating, it was just unpleasant, Baze said. A h ealthy diet was another consideration for vegetarians. At first, I didn ' t know what I was doing, Moore said. (Now) I feel I ' m fairly well-read on the subject. If you do it right, it ' s very healthy for you. Students had different experiences depending on the extent of their vegetarianism. Shank, who ate no meat, dairy products or meat byproducts, and wore no leather, found it difficult to eat in restaurants. I ' d almost just rather cook for myself, he said. For the same amount of money, you could feed five people. Lakhani, a Putnam Hall resident, found eating in campus dining centers challenging. There ' s always something I can eat, but it ' s not always healthy, she said. But the situation for residents was improving, said Barbara Scheule, administrative dietitian with the Department of Housing and Dining Services. I think what we ' ve offered for vegetarians has increased over the past several years, Scheule said. There ' s a vegetarian entree in every meal. Although they sometimes dealt with inconvenience, vegetarians didn ' t regret their diets. I ' ve found 10 million more things to eat, Moore said. It ' s completely broadened my horizons. I took an anatomy course my senior year of high school, and when I could start identifying the muscles and nerves in what was eating, it was just unpleasant. — Zachary Baze, junior in journalism and mass communications and theater vegetarianism 35 daily trials test the faith by R.J.

(Photo by Cary Conover) Byron Jayne, junior in mathematics, visits with Ericson and Lewis during a Boyd Hall Bible study. Boyd and Haymaker halls Bible study members wanted their groups to share activities. (Photo by Cary Conover) Christian students faced the trials of college life by trusting in the grace of God and joining campus Bible studies. Whether in residence-hall basements or rooms, some Christians met weekly to study the Bible and learn more about God. It was a time to be with others who shared their beliefs. The Bible study encourages us through our walk as a Christian, Mindi Woods, senior in biology, said. Woods led a group of women in a weekly study called Experiencing God, which met Tuesday nights in Boyd Hall. Verse memorization, prayer and discussion were intense parts of the Bible study. The Bible study helps keep you accountable, Tara Ericson, junior in elementary education, said. We have to memorize a verse each week, and we pray, which is much emphasized. Bible study groups also met in Goodnow and Haymaker halls. There was a great need for it. Since there was the demand, I felt God was saying ' here, ' Beth Smith, senior in marketing, said. Smith, co-leader of the Goodnow Bible study, said being in the group made her more committed to her religious beliefs and involved her in more campus activities. In Haymaker, Byron Jayne, senior in mathematics, opened his room each Wednesday night at 9. What began as a relaxed study soon took on the form of an intense learning forum. There ' s so much you can learn from the five chapters (in the Book of James). It ' s an in-depth study that provokes discussion. You learn to know God, Mo Wiley, sophomore in civil engineering, said. Co-leader Justin Salmans, senior in industrial engineering, agreed. The study is more focused. With the Book of James, you can go deeper with more subject matters, he said. I want those in the group to feel they can face college life and the issues that are included with it — to know what ' s right and wrong and be able to stand up for what they believe. When Christians walked the campus as students during the week, though, things didn ' t always go well. Many said they faced opposition from peers and professors because of their beliefs. Woods described one situation. I was taking biology, and one day I wore this T-shirt — the front said, ' Over billions of years, single-celled organisms evolved into man ... NOT! Genesis 2:7. ' On the back, it said, ' I believe in the Big Bang theory ... God spoke, and bang, it was, ' she said. My professor let me know that he (Continued on page 38) 36 christians christians 37 Helping Lewis make a homemade pizza, Mike Little, freshman in business administration, reads ingredients on the dough box. Working as a team, the 10 students made three pizzas. (Photo by Cary Conover) faith (Continued from page 36) didn ' t agree with this belief, and that I shouldn ' t wear the T-shirt again. Woods and her professor worked through the situation. I went back, and we talked things out. I explained that I didn ' t believe as he did, and that I should be able to wear what I want, Woods said. He pretty much accepted it. College ' s trials tested some Christians. There are trials with school and girls. School is demanding by needing good grades, Dan Flippo, senior in mechanical engineering, said. Trials with girls are mainly deciding what is appropriate and how to honor them. Flippo led the all-male Bible study in Marlatt Hall. Having to be bold and strong on campus is always tough. That ' s how the Bible study works. It ' s where you can be open, he said. With the fellowship, relationships can begin. Problems and questions arose when students had misconceptions about Christian beliefs. Basically, there are a lot of Christians who don ' t live a Christian life, Flippo said. And because of those people, we are seen as hypocrites. Joanna McGraw, sophomore in animal sciences and industry, had another view. Some people view Christians as perfect, she said. We ' re not perfect, by any means — just forgiven. Bible studies helped students stand up for their beliefs. Just knowing that there was a group that believed as I did, that there were other Christians - it ' s great, Chad Eck, freshman in engineering, said. To be around other Christians and be able to talk freely — it was a neat fellowship. For Josh Barbe, sophomore in arts and sciences, attending a Bible study was more than a fellowship opportunity. It (the Bible study) is awesome, he said. It was an answer to prayer. At their Bible study party, Lewis and Salmans start a food fight while making the pizzas. Members of the Haymaker and Boyd Bible study groups attended the party. (Photo by Cary Conover) Tasting the pizza dough, Jennifer Cole, sophomore in biology, takes a break as Ericson and Salmans look on.

The first thing a student should do is report it to the police, Jennifer Kassebaum, assistant University attorney, said. Above: Abusive relationships were sometimes followed by phone harassment. (Photo illustration by Cary Conover) Some students filed sexual harassment complaints with the University. The Women ' s Resource Center assisted students in understanding their rights, Judy Davis, director of the center, said. (Photo illustration by Darren Whitley and Cary Conover) he end of a relationship occasionally turned the magic of love into obsessive behavior. For one K-State student Sara Anderson (not her real name), harassment became a way of life. All along I kept breaking up (with him) because he was displaying violent behavior, going off for any reason, wanting to be with me all the time and calling me all the time, she said. The situation escalated after her boyfriend, who worked at the same store as Anderson, moved into the same residence hall. One time he grabbed me. He threatened to kill me I would guess about 100 times, she said. Eventually, Anderson sought help from the University. On Sept. 7, he knocked on my door for 30 minutes. He knew I was home, and I filed a report with housing, she said. Every day something would happen, it seemed. Bernard Franklin, dean of student life, and Carla Jones, assistant dean of student life, scheduled a hearing after Anderson ' s boyfriend failed to comply with the rules. He went off the night before (the hearing) and was screaming so loud that they could hear him on every floor, Anderson said. At the hearing, he was expelled from K-State. He had to pack and leave that night. Anderson felt the harassment might have been avoided if she had left sooner and cut off all communication. I didn ' t want to hurt him. We were friends, and I lost a boyfriend and a friend at the same time. I knew all along that this wasn ' t normal, but I just didn ' t get out, she said. This sort of situation doesn ' t seem serious until the end. Leaving an abusive relationship was as difficult as asking for help, Judy Davis, director of the Women ' s Resource Center said. After ending an abusive relationship, threats and phone harassment sometimes followed. Telephone harassment is particularly terrifying for young ladies, Davis said. That form of harassment is the most common to college females. The University offered students counseling at the Women ' s Resource Center, made legal services available to victims of harassment and referred students to the Riley County Police Department. Stalking is now a crime, Jennifer Kassebaum, assistant University attorney, said. The first thing a student should do is report it to the police. Additional services were available to students filing complaints. When the suspect was another student, the University was put in the middle. If the perpetrator is a student at KSU, then we may be able to get at the student through a University policy, Davis said. The Women ' s Resource Center assisted students in understanding their rights, Davis said. We serve students as advocates while they make decisions, some of which are very difficult, Davis said. Usually getting help and the first step is the hardest. If the perpetrator is a student at KSU, then we may be able to get at the student through a University policy — Judy Davis, director of the Women ' s Resource Center relationships 41 hidden disabilities by Katy Lindsly (LD) is really a hidden handicap, and hidden handicaps are the wost kind because they don ' t tend to be believed. People don ' t question whether people in wheelchairs can participate in gym. — Andrea Blair, learning disabilities specialist with Disabled Student Services Faced with daily challenges, many students with learning disabilities beat the odds. Some learning disability symptoms included confusing numbers and letters, the inability to read left to right and difficulty holding attention to one task. Andrea Blair, learning disabilities specialist with Disabled Student Services, located in Holton 201, said a learning disability was a permanent disorder. The disorder affected the manner in which students with normal or above average intelligence took in, retained or expressed information. Students come to K-State diagnosed and aware of their disabilities, but they need to be willing to work with them, she said. Out of the 125 students diagnosed with learning disabilities or attention-deficit disorder, the most common problem was in reading comprehension, Blair said. Many times the disability has to do with the visual perception or coping strategy, Blair said. Students read the word ' was ' as ' saw ' and confuse B ' s and D ' s. K-State services included writing letters to instructors and providing note-takers, test-taking accommodations, taped textbooks and tutors. For me, it mainly comes down to reading and comprehending, David Yankovich, freshman in horticulture and landscape design, said. I receive untimed test taking, test readers and audiotaped tests. Yankovich was diagnosed with a learning disability in reading comprehension and math and started to learn more about the disabilities from working with Blair and Disabled Student Services. Blair said students sometimes had difficulties because teachers and peers doubted the validity of learning disabilities. (LD) is really a hidden handicap, and hidden handicaps are the worst kind because they don ' t tend to be believed, Blair said. People don ' t question whether people in wheelchairs can participate in gym. That hidden handicap affected Shelly Carmichael, graduate student in early childhood special education. At one point, I was told that I wouldn ' t graduate from high school, she said. I was in National Honor Society, kept good grades and graduated in 1990. She continued her success at college despite her learning disabilities and the doubts of others. I graduated from K-State in 3-1 2 years and will have my master ' s completed after five years, she said. The University provided a positive environment for students with learning disabilities, she said. When I was in elementary school, the kids and the teachers made fun of me because I had to go to the ' retarded room. ' I cried forever, and I cried, and I cried, Carmichael said. When I came to K-State, I was so scared that people would be mean to me, but nobody was, she said. Now I ' ve learned that it doesn ' t matter.

Many people made personal statements by piercing body parts including noses, eyebrows and belly buttons.

(Photos by Mike Welchhans) tightening her eyes, she clutched the arms of the chair and held her breath as the cosmetologist moved the gun toward the target — her navel. Adrienne Simpson, junior in dietetics, had her belly button pierced during her 1994 spring-break trip to Daytona Beach, Fla. I told my friends that if I had a chance to do it, I would, Simpson said. It was there at Daytona, and they said, ' Here ' s your chance. You can ' t back out. ' So, I did it. Simpson said she didn ' t have any safety concerns when she got it pierced. The guy who did it was a professional, she said. He made me sign a contract, and I had to read how to take care of it first. Cleaning the ring four to five times a day was a step Simpson took to avoid infection. Jason Dana, junior in chemical engineering, said it took quite awhile for his belly button to heal. It takes a lot longer to heal than an ear, Dana said. Mine ' s just really healed up, but sometimes it still gets red. Another concern about navel piercing was religiously oriented, said Crystal McCarter, licensed cosmetologist at Lords ' n Ladys in Manhattan. Before I do a belly button, I make them sign a release. It ' s not that I ' m not supposed to do it — I mean nothing ' s ever been said by the State Board of Cosmetologists if we are or not, but some religious groups say that your spirit, when you die, comes from out your belly button — so, you ' re not supposed to mess with it, McCarter said. Dana said his soul could get out of his body another way and had his navel pierced twice. The first time, I did it myself, he said. It was fine, but then I played volleyball for K-State ' s club team. I was diving for the ball and landed on my belly, and it yanked it out. I didn ' t have it for a month or two, and then I got it repierced. Mark Leonard, senior in economics, said he regretted piercing a region of his body, which he wished not to disclose. For one thing, I recognize the fact that I did it for all the wrong reasons under all the wrong conditions, he said. Leonard said the allure of his piercing wore off quickly. I showed a couple of people, and it was like I had discovered a new party trick, he said, but after a while the whole thing got to be like watching the Elephant Man — it was so grotesque. Jason Dana, junior in chemical engineering, displays his pierced belly button. He said it took awhile for his belly button to heal after it was pierced.

Lack of parking was a common complaint among students. Above: A wheel lock, the result of unpaid parking tickets, was placed on a 1983 Chevy Blazer. (Photo by Kelly Campbell and photo illustration by Cary Conover) Brian Carpani, junior in business administration and Parking Services employee, writes a ticket for a car parked in the Union lot. The fine for parking at expired meters increased from $3 to $5 in the fall semester. (Photo by Car) Conover) Construction projects and limited parking forced students out of their cars and into alternative forms of transportation. This included bicycles, which seemed to multiply on campus streets and sidewalks. I ride my bike to class because it ' s more convenient than having to find a parking place, Jay Krause, sophomore in business administration, said. This way, I have guaranteed parking. Dwain Archer, director of parking services and fire safety, disagreed with attributing the increase in bike riders to a lack of parking spaces. If we checked with bicycle riders, we ' d find it ' s that they don ' t have cars, Archer said. People who have cars drive them. I don ' t think b ike riding is playing a role in alleviating parking stalls. Because of the increased number of bike riders, campus police began enforcing a $25 fine for riding on sidewalks. About 25 bicyclists gathered in front of Waters Hall Sept. 7 to protest the regulation and fine. After the protest, Ryan Hale, junior in biology, led a bike tour on campus sidewalks. I think we need to welcome those who have alternative forms of transportation, Hale said. Every bicyclist means one more empty space in the parking lots. Parking services and the University administration set up a task force that mailed more than 1,000 surveys to randomly selected students, faculty and staff during the fall. The four solutions on the survey included restricting the sale of parking permits on the central campus, constructing a parking garage, implementing a limited shuttle or doing nothing. Darell Edie, parking council for the task force, said the group would attempt to implement whatever the majority wanted, but he also had his ideas of which option would work best. The restrictive parking would be the lowest option, he said. I would push for the shuttle system because of the possible incorporation with the city. Living within walking distance from campus saved Jim Counts, senior in architecture, the inconvenience of parking on campus. It ' s a pain to drive. If you don ' t get here by at least 8 in the morning, you don ' t have a place to park, Counts said. Archer said despite problems with parking, only 25 percent of students purchased permits. Construction projects, such as the Farrell Library expansion and the building of the Marianna Kistler Beach Museum of Art, eliminated about 200 parking spaces. Parking at Chester E. Peters Recreation Complex was congested because of construction. Cars were lined up all along the curb going into the complex, and they all had tickets, Mike King, sophomore in industrial engineering, said. I understand that they don ' t have as much parking because of the construction, but they shouldn ' t ticket those people who can ' t find anywhere else to park. Mid Campus Drive was converted to two lanes to help alleviate traffic problems. Many parking spaces were lost due to construction but additional parking spaces created along Mid Campus Drive helped to compensate for the lost spaces.

The Wareham, located at 410 Poyntz Ave., was originally known as the Coliseum. Built in 1882, the one-time movie theater was remodeled in 1910 and 1938, Kelly Goss, Wareham Opera House manager, said. Many couples had wedding receptions at the Wareham each year, Goss said. Renee and Parker Young had their wedding reception at the Wareham July 16. We were lucky in reserving it six months in advance, Parker Young, senior in construction science, said. You really need to reserve it a year ahead of the event. The couple weighed their options before reserving the facility. After comparing all of the other reception facilities in town, we chose to have our reception at the Wareham because of the size, and it just seemed to work out best for our budget, Parker Young said. Groups paid $650 to rent the Wareham for an evening. The cost of catering and cleaning services for the facility was not included. When renting the Wareham, groups signed a lease and were required to clean after the function. They also had to pay for any items broken during their events. The Alpha Xi Delta sorority pledges combined their actives ' party with a Halloween celebration. Carrie Collett, freshman in secondary education, was in charge of the planning committee. Our class liked it because it was a good location and a big, old building, Collett said. One advantage to the Wareham was its size, Collett said. It was big and spacious, Collett said. We didn ' t feel packed in, and there was plenty of room to walk around and for the DJ to set up. Delta Delta Delta sorority had its philanthropy, Deltapalooza, at the Wareham Sept. 30. Several different bands performed, and all of the proceeds from T-shirt and ticket sales are donated to Children ' s Cancer Research, Melissa Schetter, sophomore in journalism and mass communications, said. The Wareham also was host to bands and plays. The rock band Kansas performed to sold-out crowds Aug. 30 and 31. It was dark when I got there, but it was a beautiful opera house. I really love the architecture of those older buildings, Tara Foster, senior in social work and political science, said. Foster said the Wareham was a good place for a concert. The sound was excellent, but loud, Foster said. There was plenty of room to move around, and the service was great. Our class liked it because it was a good location and a big, old building. — Carrie Collett, freshman in secondary education Located at 410 Poyntz Ave., the Wareham Opera House is a popular place to have banquets, wedding receptions and greek parties.

After recuperating from a 1991 car accident, McCauley defied the prognosis of his doctor and returned to K-State with the assistance of his dog, Cinder. McCauley, one of nine extraordinary people in this special section, beat the odds and redefined the limits of the human spirit.

Accepting the misfortune of having to move off a farm that was in the family for generations and turning life in another direction. Beating the odds of surviving a car crash and attending classes with the help of a backpack-toting dog. Learning to gain control over a rare and misunderstood disease with positive thinking and the support of friends. Overcoming the language and cultural barriers of life in a different country and helping others along the way. Breaking the barriers of a world without sound by earning academic honors and two degrees with the assistance of an interpreter. These are the stories of nine K-State students who were tested by life ' s extraordinary circumstances and came out on top. They planted dreams. Discovered worlds of meaning. Gained control. Broke sound barriers. Found strength. Learned life ' s lessons. Through even the most trying of times, these individuals succeeded in redefining the limits of the human spirit. redefining the limits 51 Hayden, sophomore in pre-medicine, relaxes in his Moore Hall room. Living in a residence hall was helpful, he said, because the residents were understanding of his condition. Diagnosed with Tourette syndrome in June 1993, Hayden said he believed he became more outgoing after the diagnosis. Before I had developed Tourette ' s, I was scared of what people thought, so I never actually dared to do much. I wasted a lot of time that way, he said. (Photo by Cary Conover) 52 dan hayden GAINING CONTROL BY TRINA HOLMES Dan Hayden barked and howled whenever the piano was played in his music class. Hayden, sophomore in pre-medicine, was diagnosed with Tourette syndrome in June 1993. He said his vocal and motor tics, like the ones he displayed in his music class, became pronounced during times of stress. It seems like whatever I start to think about when I get upset just seems to come out, Hayden said. Sometimes you can tell you ' re going to say something, and that ' s more like a compulsion to say it, and sometimes it just flies out of there. The disorder was characterized by involuntary, rapid, repeating movements, or tics, according to the Tourette Syndrome Association. Hayden said he learned some tricks that helped him control his vocal tics. I don ' t have much control over them, but it seems like the longer I ' ve had Tourette ' s, the more control I ' ve gained, Hayden said. It ' s like knowing what to think about and what not to think about. When I see a really good-looking girl on campus, there ' s a good chance I ' ll say something crude to her, so I ' ll try to think of something really odd. If I ' m walking with somebody, I ' ll try to think the same phrase over and over again like ' This is my friend. He ' s single. ' I did that one time at KU, and it worked pretty good. Hayden said he had the most trouble making people believe he had the disorder. The hardest thing about having Tourette ' s is making people understand what I have and what causes me to do things and get them to believe that, Hayden said. A lot of times they think I ' m joking. A business card with his name and information about the disorder was one tool Hayden used to help people understand his actions. In some classes, I ' ve had it ready and handy, and at parties I ' ll have it ready in case I do something nuts. They usually think the card ' s a joke, though, he said. Living in Moore Hall was also helpful, Hayden said, because the residents were understanding of his condition. Everybody has been real respectful — they don ' t say anything about shutting up when I ' m screaming at 2 in the morning, he said. Hayden said he became more outgoing after the diagnosis. Before I had developed Tourette ' s, I was scared of what people thought, so I never actually dared to do much. I wasted a lot of time that way. dan hayden 53 to class, Wayne McCauley, graduate student in food science and industry, relies on his greyhound, Cinder, to carry his backpack. After a near-fatal automobile accident, McCauley returned to K-State and worked as a graduate teaching assistant. Just doing everyday things will wear me out, he said. When it comes time to study, I ' m already tired. He also made adjustments in his hobbies. Because he lost his ability to sweat, he couldn ' t be outside in warm weather. This is hard for me, he said. I used to be an outdoor person. Now, even if it ' s 70 degrees outside, I could overheat. (Photo by Cary Conover) 54 mccauley FINDING STRENGTH BY RENEE MARTIN He can ' t recall the accident that changed his life. Wayne McCauley, graduate student in food science and industry, lost control of his 1981 Mustang on Aug. 9, 1991, and crashed into a telephone pole. His passenger, Kris Duggan, was thrown from the car and suffered minor injuries, but McCauley wasn ' t as lucky. He was in a coma with fractures to his neck and three vertebrae, a bruised spinal cord, a collapsed lung and paralysis from the neck down. That first night I waited outside his room, and his doctor told me he didn ' t expect Wayne to make it through the next 24 hours, Duggan, his fiancee, said. Beating his doctor ' s odds, McCauley woke up to find himself in Topeka ' s St. Francis Hospital and Medical Center with no memory of the crash. Every time I woke up the first month, they had to tell me about the accident, McCauley said. I was on enough medication that everything just blurs together. Although he regained consciousness, McCauley ' s prognosis remained because he also had pneumonia. The doctors kept telling us they didn ' t know how much he would recover, Duggan said. I think they kept expecting him to die. But McCauley recovered from pneumonia and regained the use of his limbs. Six months after the accident, McCauley went home. He continued to make progress and returned to K-State in fall 1993 as a full-time student. It took me a while to feel good about myself again, he said. A lot of it has to do with going back to school. It made me realize I can still be successful. As he walked to his classes, Cinder, a greyhound and Labrador retriever mix carrying a backpack full of books, trotted by his side. There ' s no way I could go to classes without her, McCauley said. My books make me too off-balance. I have enough problem getting around as it is. In May 1994, McCauley received his bachelor of science degree. Realizing he could achieve his goals, McCauley started working toward his master ' s degree while serving as a graduate teaching assistant. Three years ago, the doctors gave him less than 24 hours to live. Now he takes one day at a time. Nothing is the same anymore, but I ' ve taken the attitude that I need to adapt or fade away, he said. I consider myself lucky. Things could be a whole lot worse. wayne mccauley 55 LEARNING LIFE ' S LESSONS BY WADE SISSON Valerie Hernandez-Bell learned the hardest lessons in the classroom of life. Years of physical and mental abuse. The loss of two sisters. A niece and nephew who witnessed their father raping their mother. A sister who put her own son in a bath of hot water, which gave him second- and third-degree burns. Sometimes it ' s kind of unbelievable, Hernandez-Bell, freshman in English, said. I feel like when I meet people, I won ' t be believed. I ' m not the only one. There are lots of people with these kinds of circumstances. Hernandez-Bell ' s circumstances reached epic proportions Aug. 4, 1993. At 3 p.m., a doctor told Hernandez-Bell she was pregnant. At 3:03 p.m., her sister, Debra, drowned in Tuttle Creek. There was no time, for denial. Hernandez-Bell reached out to Debra ' s two children, Jermaine and Deniece, now 5 and 4, and made a home for them and for her own son, Ramon, now 2. In the fall, Hernandez-Bell added 16 hours of coursework to full-time motherhood. School was a drain on the family, especially with Hernandez-Bell ' s husband on a two-year military tour in Alaska. Today Deniece asked me, ' Mommy, why are you going to school? ' I said, ' To get a job. ' I want to be a success — a successful writer. I ' m afraid of not being self-fulfilled. To do that, I have to learn. And learn she did. About poetry and Spanish. About tragedy and grief. About life and herself. We were abused, she said of the childhood she and her siblings endured. It ' s a cycle. If you ' ve been abused, you ' ve got a lot of work to do, or you ' ll definitely end up doing it. It was a cycle Hernandez-Bell sought to end, both for herself and others. I want to be to the point where I ' m helping kids and families and people. Success to me means writing my books. I want to eventually write an I think I have a story to tell. 56 valerie hernandez-bell on the porch of her home, Valerie Hernandez-Bell holds her son, Ramon, 2, her niece, Deniece, 4, and nephew, Jermaine, 5. Tragic life lessons taught Hernandez-Bell, freshman in English, about the value of life. After the death of her sister Debra during summer 1993, she took in her niece and nephew and tried to explain their mother ' s death to them. Because a trip to the library uncovered nothing but complex books on the topic, Hernandez-Bell decided to write a book that explained death on a child ' s level. Her book told of death through the eyes of Jermaine. (Photo by Cary Conover) valerie hernandez-bell 57 BREAKING SOUND BARRIERS BY BROOKE GRABER FORT He spoke loudly with a silent voice. Jonathan Winkler, sophomore in mathematics and physics, gestured broadly, fingers slicing the air, and gazed intently at the person with whom he was talking. I ' ve been deaf for 15 years now. No one knows why for sure. I remember, when I was 4, I had a bad headache, he said. My parents took me to St. Louis for tests. That was when the doctors gave up. They knew I had some nerve damage, but it is a medical mystery as to what caused it. To adapt to a world without sound, Winkler tried wearing hearing aids but found them more bothersome than beneficial. He said lip-reading was not an option because it was not 100-percent accurate. Instead, Winkler learned sign language as a means of communicating in a hearing world. With the help of interpreters, he attended class and served as a Lou Douglas Lecture Series intern. When he wasn ' t in class, Winkler communicated by using the telephone with the help of a TDD, or telecommunications device. The TDD was hooked to a regular telephone. Winkler typed on a keyboard what he wanted to communicate to the person on the other end of the line. An operator then spoke w hat he had written so the person waiting at the other end could talk back. I didn ' t use a phone until I was 13, he said. I didn ' t learn to type until then. Winkler was an honors student from Southeast High School in Wichita, where he was recognized as a National Merit Scholarship Finalist, receiving the highest PSAT score in Kansas. In college, he was a member of both the Math Club and the Physics Club and was in the Arts and Sciences Honors Program. Despite his achievements, Winkler was uncertain about his future. I don ' t want to be rich, he said. I would, however, like a comfortable, quiet existence with enough to do to keep my mind occupied, and the privilege of contributing to the world in some lasting way. 58 jonathan winkler Winkler, sophomore in mathematics and physics, talks through interpreter Camilla Williams, senior in French and psychology, in the lobby of Putnam Hall. Winkler used interpreters provided by the State of Kansas and the with Disabilities Act. They accompanied him to classes and University-sponsored activities. An honors student, he was not hindered by his hearing impairment and was unsure about what he would accomplish after graduation. I like to write. I also think that science is beautiful. I ' ve toyed with the idea of doing research or writing textbooks, that sort of thing, he said. (Photo by Cary Conover) jonathan winkler 59 WORLD OF MEANING BY ASHLEY SCHMIDT Even after three years in the United States, he still chuckled at American slang. The one phrase I remember is when I would say ' Thank you ' and someone would say ' You bet. ' I thought they were calling me ' bet. ' I asked my teacher, and she told me it is like saying ' You ' re Achmad Wany, an Indonesian graduate student in indust rial engineering. When Wany arrived in America in 1990, he didn ' t know English and relied on his native Indonesian language. I picked up English mostly from television, my professors and some from my friends who were Americans, he said. Andreina Saez, freshman in industrial engineering, said she immediately became involved with the English Language Program when she came to K-State from Venezuela. She also attended the New International Student Orientation to become familiar with the University and American culture. They talked about everything like our passports or what to do if we want to change a class, Saez said. I just speak a little English — so, I didn ' t understand a whole lot. The two-day orientation program helped I-Cheng Cho, freshman in civil engineering, overcome the initial cultural shock. I think the program is a good idea because when I first came to America, I felt fear, Cho said. This is the first country I have been in besides Taiwan. To adjust to the language and a new way of life, Wany became involved in the Indonesian Student Association. You feel different when you find someone from the same country as you, especially when you first get here and you r English is not so good, he said. Although Wany spoke English fluently after being in America for three years, he found slang was more of a challenge than formal English. I don ' t feel as comfortable as Am ericans do speaking slang, he said. I only use slang that I ' m sure I know the meaning of. I usually make a joke about ' You bet ' with Indonesian students who have just arrived here in America. 60 achmad wany slang has confused Achmad Wany, graduate student in industrial engineering, since he moved to the United States in 1990. Wany said the Indonesian language was more formal than English. He also believed Americans described things differently. In my country, they go around a bit and then get to the point, he said. We have a long introduction to explain something. Wany adjusted to his new environment through the help of American friends and professors.

Deciding to leave farming and return to school meant sacrificing the family farm. The Roepkes sold their farm equipment, rented the land their parents had farmed and moved their family into town. (Photo by Cary Conover) 62 the roepkes PLANTING THEIR DREAMS BY JANET MCPHERSON After 10 years of marriage, Randy and Sherry Roepke broke generations of tradition and left their farm to make a better life for their family. Randy, senior in secondary education, was a student in 1975, but quit school to farm. Sherry, senior in elementary education, continued working on her degree between having her two older children. The Roepkes decided to return to college after the summer flooding of 1993, although they had been considering it before the flood. The waters of Tuttle Creek, which were usually 13 miles from their farm, were just 2 miles away. Sherry said terraces on their crop land were rutted so deeply that their daughter, Kellee, now 7, could stand in the ruts without being seen. They knew they wouldn ' t lose their farm, but if they were going to make a change, they couldn ' t wait for another bad year. They sold their machinery and rented farmland that had been in their family for generations. That ' s what made it really hard, Sherry said. I felt like we were the ones who broke the chain. The Roepke family visited the farm some weekends, but the kids started to call the house in town home. Looking back, Sherry said she wished she had gotten her degree before starting a family. I wouldn ' t trade my kids for anything, but it ' s tough, she said. Sherry said she felt guilty for not staying home with her 2-year-old son, Gunnar, as she did with her other children when they lived on the farm. In addition to college, she did in-house accounting for Cash Lumber and was a Mary Kay Cosmetics consultant. She said she didn ' t have time for outside activities. It ' s hard to decide what ' s more important — their things or mine, she said. Sherry planned to graduate in December 1995. Randy wanted to graduate then, though he said he might not complete his degree until May 1996. We just want to be comfortable and have time with our family, Sherry said. the roepkes 63 64 forum at chance open forum at chance by Krista Cozad and Kimberly Hefling Nabeeha Kazi, junior in political science, a forum at Rusty ' s Last Chance Restaurant Saloon, where students could voice their opinions.

(Photo by Darren Whitley) an Aggieville bar helped get people involved in government. More than 50 people gathered at Rusty ' s Last Chance Restaurant Saloon Sept. 29 to hear panel members discuss issues to bicycling and parking. Only four people attended the previous forum sponsored by Government Association, Sept. 9. Bernard Franklin, assistant dean of student life, suggested taking forums off-campus, Nabeeha Kazi, SGA public relations director and junior in political science, said. (SGA) knew it was a risk to take the forum to a bar, but they were willing to work with me. We had to get out of our comfort zone, Kazi said. That ' s why we decided to take a new and approach. Kazi said using other locations was a way to increase student attendance at the forums. The way activities, especially forums, have been publicized in the past are not reaching all or even a majority of students, Kazi said. This has proven to be true in the turnout at events, such as forums. It is clear that when four K-State show up at a forum out of the 20,000-plus students we have, the entire forum approach is wrong. The new approaches included visits to greek houses and dining halls, and advertising the forums in the Union, Aggieville and other public places. Franklin said moving the out of the Union helped SGA gather student opinion and discuss relations between students and the campus police. I think we should use every opportunity to get student ' s he said. B.C. Camp II, junior in and mass communications, was part of the panel and answered questions about the incident in which he was handcuffed and fined after riding his bike on a campus sidewalk. I ' m not sure if the campus police and student relationship has improved, Camp said. I ' m just glad it didn ' t get as bad as it could have gotten. Terry Teske, computer information specialist and panelist, said he believed steps were being taken to fix problems caused by the new bike regulations. I was impressed by the people who came and with the parking commissioner. It ' s too bad it took all this to make it happen, he said. Mike Clausner, senior in said he liked having the forum at a bar but was unsure of the forum ' s effectiveness. To be honest, I kind of felt like some of the questions were dodged in a way, Clausner said. Wes Revely, junior in engineering, agreed. At least it was good they came out and gave a little of their views. I don ' t know if all the questions were answered fully, Revely said. I ' ve been to forums in the Union before — it was kind of loud in here, but it was a good change of pace, anyway. Carney, senior in political science and SGA Issues and Ideas Senator, gives his ideas and concerns about how the tuition overcharge should be spent. His ideas included a proposal for more bicycle racks and paths. (Photo by Darren Whitley) forum at chance 65 A group of students watch as another jumper takes on the Velcro wall.

No, said the Union Program Council ' s Special Events which sponsored the Feb. 1 event at no cost to students. It was off the wall — or I guess you could say on the wall, Mark Hazlett, junior in science and management, said. I was in gymnastics for eight years and diving for three, so it was a strange sensation to be in a flip and be stopped cold. The event took place from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m. Renting the wall from Funny Business on Campus cost $900. It is a pretty cheap event, Sharon Willits, UPC program adviser, said. People stop and look, so hopefully they will stop and try it. And try it they did. Clad in Velcro body suits, participants ran across the Union Courtyard and jumped onto an inflated platform, flinging against the Velcro wall. I slipped and fell the first time, Brandon Hobbs, freshman in chemical engineering, said. They told me to jump to the black bubble for the best jump. It was hard clearing the first part. I felt the Velcro hit me, and then I just stuck there. Darrol Walker, junior in fine arts, had been jumping on the wall for 15 minutes and said he planned to continue until else needed his Velcro suit. I always wanted to try it, Walker said. I ' ve seen it before on television. I ' m going to make it a point to see how high I can go, he said. I ' m going to try to grab the top. Jason Landreth, freshman in arts and sciences, said a poster in Haymaker Hall piqued his interest in the wall jump. It ' s not as fun as bungee Landreth said. Bungee jumping is just free-falling. This was cool, though. Christina Sloan, freshman in arts and sciences, didn ' t share Landreth ' s enthusiasm at first. While preparing herself mentally for her first jump, she told other students to pass her in line. After summoning courage, Sloan too k on the wall. It was very embarrassing, she said. I couldn ' t jump on the black thing. I ' m not tall enough, I guess. Eric Bohn, junior in also found the wall daunting. It was difficult, he said. I don ' t have enough spring. But that didn ' t keep Bohn or Sloan from trying again and again. Anything ' s fun with Velcro, Bohn said. Anthony Hanson, senior in construction science, said he took part because of the novelty of the experience. I did it because I wanted to say I ' ve jumped on a wall and stuck. It was a new experiment. Hanson skinned his knees the wall jump, but he said the pain didn ' t deter him. Everyone should have to do something they haven ' t done at least once in their life. It was off the wall — or I guess you could say on the wall. I was in gymnastics for eight years and diving for three, so it was a strange sensation to be in a flip and be stopped cold. —Mark Hazlett, junior in construction science and management velcro wall jump 67 serving it up union style by Coby Hess I would miss the diversity of the food that is offered. If it went to franchises, it would be fast food instead of healthy food like it is now. — Bonnie Nettles, junior in psychology food served Union style was fast becoming a thing of the past as the possibility of a franchise takeover drew closer to reality. Breaking even, as a philosophy, wasn ' t working for Union Food Services, and a change in general operations that would make the organization a business began to take shape. It all comes down to money, Malley Sisson, director of food services, said. The current food services aren ' t generating enough revenue, and revenue is the top priority. With an emphasis on quality service, the Union also used its food services as a training ground for students in any type of food studies, Sisson said. But in the event of a takeover by a contract management Union employees would lose control of food services in favor of making money. Money generated could be turned back to students, but with contract management companies, the money will leave campus, Sisson said. Increasing revenue raised by food services was crucial, she said, in avoiding a student fee increase. My tendency has always been to keep the tradition of but costs have gone up, Jack Connaughton, associate of the Union, said. In the spring, the Union brought Subway Sandwiches Salads into the recreational area, with the possibility of more franchises to come. Jack Sills, Union director, said revenues from franchises such as Subway would help support other areas of the Union. But, Becky Lind, Union supervisor, said, I think there would be a lot of students if we lost our breakfast line due to other Michael DiDio, senior in engineering, said he thought turning the Union food services over to an outside company might be advantageous. I ' d like to see Burger King and Taco Bell come in, DiDio said. I don ' t think it ' d be bad, unless they didn ' t care about the students as much. As someone who ate in the Union two or three times a month, Bill Sharp, junior in finance, said he would like Taco Bell and McDonald ' s to join the Union ' s new food services. Maybe an outside voice wouldn ' t hurt the Union, he said. It ' d show another view on things. Fast food in the Union would make eating between classes easier, Sharp said, although he said he would miss the breakfasts made by food services. I would miss the diversity of the food that is offered, Bonnie Nettles, junior in psychology, said. If it went to franchises, it would be fast food instead of healthy food, like it is now. Terra Marten, junior in education and Union Bookstore employee, also opposed franchising Union food services. I think it ' s fine the way it is because you never know what someone might do once they get control of it, Marten said. Every time I ' m in here, I get a sandwich and a piece of pie. If they changed that, I ' d have to hurt somebody. Union Food Services employee Praipan Ritthison wraps an order in the Union ' s kitchen.

The E-Collegian attracted media attention for being one of the first electronic college papers. (Photo by Darren Whitley) E-mail was fast becoming a popular mode of communication on campus. The number of Unix accounts rose to about 11,000 in February from about 6,000 in fall 1993, Brett McCoy, Unix systems administrator for Computing and Network Services, said. Above: CNS offered free accounts to students, faculty and staff. I would say that we ' ve got around 6,000 who actively read their mail or log on, on a daily basis, McCoy said. (Photos by Darren Whitley) 70 e-mail love at first byte by Nora Donaghy t getting wired was fast a way of life on campus. Internet activity skyrocketed during the year, Brick Verser, Computing and Network associate specialist, said. There are more user IDs this (spring) semester than any other semester, Verser said. There ' s just so much information glitz that everyone wants to know what it is. The Kansas State Collegian jumped onto the Internet during the summer as the first daily newspaper to go electronic. The E-Collegian attracted on campus but was useful to alumni, students studying abroad and students on the Salina campus, said Mike Marlett, the first E-Collegian and senior in journalism and mass communications and art. A lot do it from computer labs here on campus, which I think is interesting, he said. A stack of papers is 20 feet from them, yet they choose to turn their computers on and read the Collegian that way. But the main group of E-Collegian readers was alumni, he said. Distance is irrelevant, Marlett said. It doesn ' t matter. As long as you ' ve got a telephone line, the right software and a computer, you ' re good to go. Internet access was not limited to reading the E-Collegian. Chris Zelch, junior in bakery science and management, used his Unix account to talk to his girlfriend in St. Louis daily. It ' s cheap, it ' s free, it ' s fast, and you get it the same day instead of having to wait for two days for snail mail, he said. Sarah Kanning, graduate in English, used the Internet for e-mail, discussion groups and games. You just have instantaneous access to so many different kinds of information in so many forms that it ' s astounding, astonishing, Kanning said. There ' s also a lot of literary stuff, culture and communication around in places. It ' s not just people. Jeff Bohning, junior in theater, said he spent more time on the Internet than he did sleeping. One of Bohning ' s favorite diversions was being in charge of a division of a Usenet newsgroup, alt.barney.dinosaur.die.die.die, that advocated the death of Barney, a purple dinosaur and popular children ' s TV show character. We ' re fighting for fighting against Barney, against other newsgroups, he said. Internet access also served as a stress reliever for Bohning. With as much stress as I get in my life anyway, this stops me from going out and strangling people, he said. The other thing is to keep me from being bored. Internet activities varied as much as the people who used it. The possibilities were pretty much limitless, Kelly Campbell, junior in computer science who helped start the E-Collegian, said. It ' s just a matter of your imagination. e-mail 71 secrets of success by Wade Sisson Go through life being a giver, not a taker. We just came out of the ' Me Generation, ' and I hope we ' re headed into the ' We Generation ' that gets us back to the basics that made this country great. — Ross Perot, 1992 presidential candidate and 99th Landon Lecturer ross Perot ' s Jan. 24 Landon Lecture diverged from his views to less controversial matters including bad hair days and the road to happiness. Some of you got up this morning and said, ' Oh, gee, I have to go to class. ' Some of you looked in the mirror and said, ' It ' s a bad hair day, ' Perot said. You ought to get up every morning and look in the mirror and say, ' Boy, am I lucky, ' you just, by the happy of good luck, live in the country that everybody else in the world dreams of coming to some day. And on top of that, you ' re in college. An estimated 5,500 people attended the 99th Landon Lecture, Defining Success, in which Perot emphasized the importance of a college education, noting that 65 million people in the work force struggled to make a living with a high-school diploma or less. I don ' t want you to ever that people who are out there working their hearts out, the the firemen, the the carpenters, the the janitors, are giving you this great opportunity, he said, please when you see them, never feel cocky. Just feel lucky that you ' re getting off on the right foot in life. Perot warned against arrogance and urged students to remember that success comes from knowing one ' s strengths and weaknesses. Go through life being a giver, not a taker. We just came out of the ‘Me Generation, ' and I hope we ' re headed into the ' We that gets us back to the basics that made this country great. Perhaps the country Perot best as the candidate who ran for the presidency in 1992. He received 20 percent of the vote in Kansas. If he could have voted in 1992, Andy King, freshman in business administration, said he would have supported Perot ' s bid. He comes from the common people, King said. He came from the bottom. Jason Healy, senior in engineering, said he thought Perot ' s speech was right on target. He ' s a down-home boy, Healy said. He tells it like it is. But Perot ' s speech lacked the political content Matt Lynch, in sociology, expected to hear. I thought it was a little Lynch said. I thought he gave the United We Stand people who were here what they wanted to hear. When he said, ' This speech is for the students, ' I guess for me, I didn ' t see it that way. I ' ve had better lectures from my professors at K-State. But a Perot supporter who had voted for him said she found the speech thought-provoking. He was very helpful in about my career and what I want to do — to never give up if you ' re down, Shari Hartman, in marketing, said. Success isn ' t money. I think a lot of people have a problem with that, but it ' s what you do with your life, and what you do for others. Perot said he didn ' t need security during the 1992 because the other were controversial, and loved him.

Jeff Peterson, student body president and graduate student in animal sciences, delivered the commencement address. Above: The graduation program lists the names of the graduates and the meanings of the drapes they wore. (Photos by Shane Keyser and Darren Whitley) graduation in the winter added to the hustle and bustle of the holiday season for the 1,160 who participated in the ceremony. Spring graduation took place May 12-13, while winter occurred in one day, Dec. 10, with all colleges represented. Everyone was concerned about Christmas, Lesa Beck, graduate in food science, said. Graduation just seemed like one of those extra things added onto the holiday commotion. My brother goes to KU, and he graduated this winter, also. They don ' t have a graduation there, and my parents thought that it was really neat that K-State does have one. For Beck, changing her major three times extended the road to graduation. I didn ' t want to wait until May, she said. I wanted to get out as soon as possible. Four years wasn ' t enough time for Anissa Selbach, graduate in elementary education, either. If I could have chosen to graduate last May, I would ' ve because I wanted to graduate in four years. I ' m in education, and as far as the job market goes, there is really no advantage to graduating in Selbach said. Kimberlie Murphy, graduate in hotel and restaurant said she didn ' t want to go through the ceremony at first. I initially hadn ' t planned on going through the ceremony, but I ' m glad I did because it was well organized and went really smooth, she said. It was well worth it. Graduating in winter helped Murphy in her job search, she said. Companies seem to be more open and available with she said. They are just overwhelmed in May. Because winter graduation took place so close to the holidays, Troy Smith, graduate in decided to postpone going through the ceremony until May. But December was still a time of celebration for Smith. It made me feel like I had accomplished something that could ever take away, Smith said. For others, the ceremony had its drawbacks. I was a little disappointed with winter graduation, Romes said. He said he would have the spring graduation, in which more time was given to recognizing each graduate. I think the memory of would have been better for my family and I if the University would have talked about my rather than just reading my name off, he said. Brian Schroeder, graduate i n social science, said he preferred K-State ' s graduation to that of other universities ' ceremonies, some of which did not let students walk across a stage. All they do is stand up and then sit back down — wow! he said. K-State ' s graduation allow the graduate to walk across the stage in Bramlage Coliseum and shake President Jon Wefald ' s hand. graduation 75 Wildcat Victory 76 wildcat fight song a legacy written in song by Nolan Schramm Harry Erickson ' s fight song is the legacy of his dance band days at K-State.

Carol Erickson was presented with a plaque in honor of Harry, who died in August. (Photo by Darren Whitley) though few met him, Harry Erickson ' s words touched part of every Wildcat fan ' s life. Some knew all his words. knew only the last four: ... Wildcat victory — go, State! These words were from the Wildcat Fight Song, which Erickson composed in 1927. In the 1920s, Erickson was a K-State student who played in a dance band. That experience him to write the fight song, Erickson ' s widow, Carol, said. He composed the song while coming home from a dance one night. It just came to him. When he got to his apartment, he wrote out the music for it. Despite being afflicted with Alzheimer ' s disease and cancer, which claimed one of his legs, Harry Erickson continued to play the fight song. His feeble fingers would find the tune on the keyboard, she said. He could still play that. Although the Alzheimer ' s was advancing, he couldn ' t forget the years of playing music he loved, she said. There were a few songs his brain could remember, she said. We ' d wheel him up to the It was sad. It was really sad. In August 1994, Harry Erickson died. But the song he wrote for K-State would live on. There ' s definitely a sense of pride and school unity, Jill Pruitt, K-State Marching Band member and senior in music education, said. I feel like when we play it, we exemplify purple all over. I think it ' s great. Greg Scofield, senior in engineering, said the band treated the fight song as a piece, like the alma mater. A member of the band ' s drum line, Scofield said the fight song offered variety for members who played percussion instruments. As the instruments evolved since 1927, the music had to evolve with it, he said. Every four of five years, we revamp the music. It ' s kind of kept up with the times. Frank Tracz, director of bands, said the Wildcat Fight Song should be ranked alongside such classics as On, Wisconsin and the Notre Dame Fight Song. This one is good. It ' s even better that a student at K-State wrote it. It ' s got heart and soul. Tracz made a tape of the band playing the fight song, the alma mater and some jazz selections. He sent it to Carol Erickson, who played it to her husband in his nursing home. At the time, she was afraid he wouldn ' t be able to comprehend it, but his response was surprising. He actually started directing it. It was one of those things still left in his mind, she said. He couldn ' t sing, but he ' d move, to it and smile. Harry knew it was his song. Three weeks later, Harry died. The same recording of the marching band was played at his funeral. I think K-State has him well while he was alive, Carol Erickson said. He was always very proud of Kansas State. There ' s definitely a sense of pride and school unity. I feel like when we play it, we exemplify purple all over. I think it ' s great. — Jill Pruitt, K-State Marching Band member and senior in music education wildcat fight song 77 78 recycling Harris, senior in physical collects recyclable materials twice a month in a business venture he started July 1. Harris took materials collected in his truck to Howie ' s Recycling on 10th Street. Above: Randy ' s Recycling Service has a clientele of 80 students and Manhattan residents who paid $5 a month for the service. (Photos by Darren Whitley) recycling on the road by Ashley Schmidt with the law may have seemed like the wrong way to start a business, but it didn ' t stop Randy Harris. The first thing I did was make up a flier on my computer. I took them to the mall and handed out about 500 of them, Harris, owner of Randy ' s Recycling Service and senior in physical education, said. I got a call later that and it was a security guard telling me I couldn ' t do that anymore. His service, collecting materials twice a month, cost his customers $5 each month. Harris said although his business wasn ' t financially rewarding, it was rewarding in other ways. There ' s so many benefits that come from recycling, he said. Hopefully, this is making it more convenient for people who want to recycle. The idea for the business came from his summer job. It all started this summer when I was employed part-time at Howie ' s Recycling, Harris said. I ' m friends with (owner) Howard (Wilson) and his family. I it to them and asked if they thought it would work. During the summer, Harris traveled to Columbia, Mo., and Louisville, Ky., to watch how other recycling pick-up services worked. He returned to and opened Randy ' s Service July 1. Harris said he had only about 20 customers until the Collegian wrote an article about his When the Collegian first did the article about me, that got awareness up, he said. The free advertising really helped out. Now, I have about 80 customers on a monthly basis. Harris also got his message to the public with a booth in front of the Union and by having carriers hand out fliers. About six fraternities and used the servi ce after out about it at enrollment, he said. Overall, Harris said, his thought the service was a great idea. They do a good job about telling people and giving verbal references to me, Harris said. This has made it easier for them to spend Saturday afternoon doing something else instead of hauling their own recyclables. Sarah Page, junior in started using Harris ' service as soon as she heard about it. It ' s something that I wouldn ' t expect from a town as small as Manhattan, Page said. I ' m from Topeka, and they don ' t even have a service like it there. Robert Everard, senior in and wildlife biology, said he thought the business was because college students generated so much trash. Before this, I tried to recycle, but it was difficult because you had to take it somewhere, Everard said. This is so convenient for students. I think it makes more of us want to recycle. recycling 79 suicide takes its toll by Brooke Graber I thought he was going to make it. Death was the furthest thing from my head. Just the thought of having someone around three, four hours ago, and then they ' re gone, is shocking. — Nizar Kafity, sophomore in microbiology remembering the good times. Taking it day by day. Getting on with life. These suggestions helped the survivors of the three students who committed suicide between June 1994 and January 1995. Another two student deaths were still under investigation as possible suicides. When you find someone you love dead, all you want to do is reach for them and have them reach back, Wendy Kyle, student in history, said. It ' s a lot harder to live than to die. Her husband, Giles Kyle, died Oct. 10 after ingesting a mixture of prescription drugs, alcohol and cyanide. The couple had been married for almost two years when Giles Kyle died. Wendy Kyle said the two met in a philosophy class during summer 1990. When I first met him, he was definitely a philosophy major, she said. He was into all the philosophers — Kant, and so on. He also enjoyed writing. He ' d come up with the strangest metaphors, but once he said them, you realized that they made perfect sense, she said. Kyle said her husband was caring and always concerned with others ' well-being. He found it painful to lose friends. College is a transitory time when many people graduate and move on out of your life. He didn ' t want to go on people, he said. He wasn ' t hurting them, but he felt like he was. He wanted to enjoy life his whole life and not end up in a rut. He was always in a hurry to get somewhere. But once he got there, he wasn ' t sure what to do. Friends of Ann Wallis were unsure of what to do when the junior in psychology died July 4 of a drug overdose. Though could not conclude her death was a suicide, Wallis ' friends coped with that possibility. Steve Quackenbush, graduate student in psychology, was friends with Wallis for about five years. Both were psychology majors and met each other through mutual acquaintances. She was very, very outgoing, probably the most outgoing I knew. She was very in learning, he said. Wallis was interested in race relations, participated in Racial and Ethnic Harmony Week, and liked to read often, Quackenbush said. Wallis had left school and worked in Topeka before for the spring 1994 semester. When someone commits a — you ' re not completely responsible, and b — you ' re not completely free from blame, Quackenbush said. A person can only exist in a social context. Suicide is an to the social situation they want to escape from.

Rupp-Whitson, graduate student in sociology, died from a combination of cyanide and Valium Oct. 23. Rupp said her daughter had been friends with Giles Kyle. At the time Giles died, this threw her into a somersault. Rupp-Whitson had been as being a manic in the March or April her death, Rupp said. It ' s (depression) something that can ' t be cured, Rupp said. There will always have to be medication, but it can be Rupp said Rupp-Whitson had been taking Prozac, but she her daughter to stop taking the drug because she thought it was not doing her any good. She went back to the doctor to get off of it, and he told her she had not been taking it long enough, she said. Rupp-Whitson attempted by taking Valium but was rushed to Memorial Hospital, where she underwent a 10-day treatment. Following her hospitalization, Rupp said her daughter again obtained Valium. Rupp-Whitson used this Valium and cyanide to kill herself. She left behind three children. The only thing we can do now is concentrate on the 25 good years we had, and we do have three wonderful Rupp said. The oldest one looks just like her. Concentrating on the good times and moving forward with life was how Nizar Kafity, in microbiology, said he dealt with his friend ' s suicide. Ross Taton, sophomore in engineering, died from what investigators considered a self-inflicted stab wound Jan. 10. Kafity said he had known Taton for about a year and a half before he and a friend discovered Taton in a Goodnow Hall corridor around 3 a.m. I thought he was going to make it, he said. Death was the furthest thing from my head. Just the thought of having someone around three, four hours ago, and then they ' re gone, is shocking. He said he went through a period of depression following Taton ' s death, but friends helped him deal with his feelings. I talked to his mom, and his mom said she wanted us to go on with our lives, he said. Kafity said a part of him would always be affected by Taton ' s death. I wish no one will have to pass through this experience, Kafity said. Darrin Vanderbilt, in engineering, passed through that experience when his friend Chris Julian, sophomore in construction science and management, died Dec. 22 of a self-inflicted gunshot wound. Vanderbilt said he and Julian had been friends for about a year and during fall semester. He said he remembered Julian as a who would do anything to help others. We had a really tight group of friends, Vanderbilt said. He kind of brought all of us together. He was the backbone of our friendships. He was the tree that everyone leaned on. We ' re going to miss him a hell of a lot. and Ralph Taton mourn for their son Ross during the Jan. 17 memorial service at All Faiths Chapel. Ross ' friend, Kafity, spoke with Teresa Taton about their loss. I talked to his mom, and his mom said she wanted us to go on with our lives, Kafity said.

Campus safety questioned Safety concerns emerged on campus with the Jan. 9 news that Ross Taton, sophomore in had died of a stab wound to the chest. As a result of the incident, security measures went into high gear. The police have increased their presence on campus, Shah Hasan, assistant director of the Department of Housing and Dining Services, said, and we have asked staff to spend more time with the students. Investigators were still trying to determine whether Taton ' s death was homicide or suicide. While students awaited news of the cause of Taton ' s death, another incident renewed safety concerns. Chris Reeves, junior in history, was beaten Jan. 22 in City Park by a group of attackers as he was walking home from a computer lab. Five men were arrested in with two attacks that Jan. 22. Reeves said the evidence was clearly against them. If you do something wrong, you ' re going to get busted, he said. Sorry, guys, you made a mistake. Campus institute 1st bike patrol by Wendy Krotz Campus police took to bicycles in the fall to become more visible. Instituted by campus police, the full-time bike patrol began Aug. 29 with two 21-speed bikes. Generally, police departments are reactive, Dave Springer, a bike patrol officer, said. We ' ll get out in the community and get involved. Hopefully, we ' ll prevent some situations just by being there. While the patrol ' s intent was involvement, an incident in the fall temporarily suspended the patrol. B. C. Camp, junior in and mass communications, was stopped Aug. 30 by the patrol while riding on campus. After to produce identification, Camp was taken to the campus police department, where he was given tickets for disobeying a law enforcement officer, obstructing the legal process and riding a bicycle on campus sidewalks. I was embarrassed, Camp said. I honestly was not trying to be rude or anything. Camp said he was handled roughly by the police officer who handcuffed him, but police Capt. Robert Mellgren said Camp was handcuffed for refusing to with Officer Bob Fenton. Because of the incident, the campus bike patrol was suspended for two weeks. John Lambert, director of public safety, said he suspended the patrol because he thought Fenton had overreacted. Before the bike patrol was Sept. 15, students protested its enforcement of a $25 fine for riding on campus sidewalks. They had good intentions, especially with the rapes on campus, Anson Renshaw, fifth-year student in interior architecture, said. Overall, it was a good idea, but just to go after bicycles is kind of silly.

(Photo by Mark Leffingwell) City annexes campus, causes tax increase by Brooke Graber K-State became part of the City of Manhattan July 3, 1994. Annexation of the University led to the proposal of several joint projects by the city and K-State. The annexation resulted in a 1.5-cent tax increase for all taxed items sold on campus. Mike Zamrzla, student body chief of staff, said students were informed before student voted 58-1 for annexation. We don ' t want long-term needs to be lost in the process, Zamrzla said. We are very appreciative to be included in the process. The additional revenue would fund proposed city and University projects such as additional street lighting; more bicycle racks and routes; an electronic link from Farrell Library to the Manhattan Public Library; and scholarships. Robert Krause, vice presid ent for institutional advancement, said annexation gave students opportunities by classifying them as Manhattan residents. One of the interesting things that I was excited about was for students to have the opportunity to become involved in city government, Krause said. Justin Kastner, junior in food science and industry, used the opportunity to get involved and placed first in the Feb. 28 primary election for city commission.

Diepenbrock After campus became part of the City of Manhattan, one student sought to become a leader in city government. Justin Kastner, junior in food science and industry, placed first in the Feb. 28 primary election with 2,469 of the 4,665 votes cast. Incumbent commissioner Steve Hall placed second with 2,273. It ' s really incredible, Kastner, 19, said shortly after the results were in. I ' ve always wanted to do something in public service, and I really feel I have a stake in the future of our community. Kastner, a lifelong Manhattan resident, said his decision to run was solidified in the fall. I served on the annexation committee and the University Projects Fund ' s committee, he said. That was my one in my life that I got to see how City Commission and city staff worked together and the mechanics of how they provide services to the community. And, I really saw a place where I could provide something, and that ' s why I decided to run. During the campaign, Kastner said he learned about the and about himself. First of all, I thought I was organized, but I ' m not, he said. I learned a lot about my as far as who knows who. I ' ve learned that vote is equal. Also, I ' ve learned a greater respect for people that campaign and do this because it really is a demanding activity. It ' s an process. With the primary election over, the next step was the April 4 general election. Kastner said he saw economic and social that he hoped to tackle if elected. Even though he had started down the road of politics, Kastner said he recognized he was still a student. Just like everyone else has jobs on the City Commission, my job right now is school, Kastner said. And it ' s a challenge to do both, but it ' s very manageable. I positioned myself to be able to do this, as far as school.

Michelle Smith, president of Young Democrats and senior in political science, said two campus organizations chose to jointly for democratic candidate Jim Slattery, U.S. representative from Kansas ' 2 nd District. They chose a candidate that they felt would best represent the state—someone both parties could agree on, and someone who was good for the state, Smith said. During the effort for Slattery, members distributed literature, posted yard signs and took to the phone lines for their candidate. Lessons learned in the campaign proved beneficial for the students who got involved, Smith said. Any time students get it is an accomplishment, she said.

Fort Riley status uncertain, concerns ROTC members by Tawnya Ernst Military downsizing threatened the symbiotic relationship between Army ROTC and Fort Riley. ROTC depended heavily on Fort Riley for training support in the form of equipment, land and help from the soldiers themselves, Capt. Allen West, assistant of military science, said. We utilize resources at Fort Riley just as much as any unit assigned to that base, West said. We are a part of that post. Discussions about a downsizing or closure of the fort caused among ROTC students and faculty. We would be hurt pretty badly if the First Division were to leave, Capt. Stephen Payne, assistant of military science, said. It ' s a tactical division that has all the we like to use for training. K-State was one of the few schools with ROTC programs that had the advantage of a nearby base, Dave Farmer, Air Force ROTC cadet and senior in management, said. The ROTC has the training facilities right here, Farmer said. We have access to those facilities that other schools don ' t have. That gives us an edge over them. ROTC used M-16s, M-249s, Hummer utility trucks, UH60 helicopters, training land and rifle ranges made available by the presence of the base, West said. Instructors in the military department from Fort Riley were another educational resource for ROTC students. If the fort closed, opportunities for instructors with military expertise and an understanding of the community would be difficult to come by, West said. We would stand to lose available cadre or instructors that already know Fort Riley, he said. It would take the Army a lot more money to bring a person here with combat experience and leadership experience that is needed without the base close by. K-State President Jon Wefald and Maj. Gen.

Grunge icon dead; fans mourn loss by Nora Donaghy Just three years after his emergence as a powerful new force in music, Kurt Cobain ' s April 5, 1994, suicide left fans and critics comparing the guitarist to other musicians who died young. Cobain, lead singer of the popular grunge rock band Nirvana, was found dead of a self-inflicted gunshot wound April 8 at his Seattle home. He was 27. Dan Paeper, sophomore in finance, said he regretted the shortened legacy Cobain ' s suicide left. I respected his music a lot because it spoke to me, Paeper said. Kurt Cobain was to our what John Lennon was to our parents ' generation. They were two of the greatest songwriters of all time. People related to them like they related to their best friend. He had so much more left to accomplish that he hadn ' t even touched yet. Those who were critical of Cobain ' s suicide and lifestyle, which reportedly included drug use, were disrespectful, Paeper said. Until you ' ve walked in his shoes, you have no idea what he ' s been through. Nirvana pioneered grunge rock and was known for the multimillion-selling 1991 album which featured Smells Like Teen Spirit. Another best-selling album, Unplugged in New York, was released after Cobain ' s death. Reagan discloses illness to increase awareness In a handwritten letter to his fellow Americans, former Reagan disclosed Nov. 5 that he suffered from Alzheimer ' s disease. Reagan, 83, wrote that he was feeling fine, but he and his wife; Nancy, chose to reveal the to increase awareness of the mind-crippling disease that 4 million Americans and claimed 100,000 lives each year. Unfortunately, as Alzheimer ' s disease progresses, the family bears a heavy burden, Reagan wrote. I only wish there was some way I could spare Nancy from this painful experience. When the time comes, I am that with your help she will face it with faith and courage. One student who worked for the Reagan presidential campaign as a fifth-grader said the nation ' s 40th president was his idol. When I lived in Texas, people thought it was cute that a 10-year-old was working on the election campaign, so they asked me to be in a commercial with Ronald Reagan, Pat Carney, senior in political science, said. Carney said Reagan ' s didn ' t change his opinion of the former president. It made me wonder just how long he had it while in office, but I don ' t think it took away from his years as president, Carney said. When I look back through the history books, I found out that he ' s not nearly as impressive as I thought he was then, but as a fifth-grader, I thought Reagan was God. It was exciting for me to look up and see a person who would be the future president of the United States.

Melanie Brockington, outreach coordinator for the Crisis Center, said awareness about home-grown violence had increased. Hopefully, people are recognizing patterns in their relationships or people they know, Brockington said.

(Photo by K-State Photographic Services) America ' s political past revisited with deaths of Nixon, Onassis, Kennedy by Wade Sisson America said goodbye to three prominent figures from its past. Richard Nixon, who resigned the presidency in 1974, died April 22, 1994, after suffering a stroke. He was 81. Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis, First Lady during JFK ' s years in the White House, died May 19 of cancer at age 64. The Kennedy family suffered another loss Jan. 22 with the death of matriarch Rose Kennedy, who was 104. With the loss of Onassis and Nixon, Sue Zschoche, assistant professor of history, was reminded of the contrasts between the Kennedy and Nixon eras. I saw the canonization of Richard Nixon as bizarre, said Zschoche, who thought Watergate was an undeniable part of the Nixon story. I don ' t see how anyone could look at him at the time of his death and ignore that little moment it was a constitutional she said. When Onassis died, Zschoche remembered the assassination of President Kennedy in 1963, and the widow who brought the nation through it. Jackie was haunting because what she was about was a pristine sort of memory that was Zschoche said. In my head, the whole world changed when Jack was shot, and she was the last tie to that time. Zschoche said the loss of Onassis signified yet another end to the Kennedy years in office. They were of a time when we still believed everything was possible, and sometimes it ' s hard to know you still can ' t feel that way, she said. It ' s ironic that Nixon taught us why we can’t. NEWS international Portions of the news stories were compiled from the Associated Press and the Kansas State Collegian Design may lessen quake damage by Stephanie Steenbock AP It took only 20 seconds for an earthquake to devastate the city of Kobe, Japan. At 7.2 on the Richter scale, the Jan. 18 quake left more than 4,800 dead and 25,000 injured. Three professors worked to patent a design they hoped would lessen damage caused by quakes like the one that hit Kobe.

While President Clinton called passage of GATT a victory for the United States, opponents said the global agreement was a serious setback to American workers and might cause middle-class voters to turn against both political parties. Randy Crow, senior in marketing, verbalized his opposition to GATT in a letter to the editor of the Collegian before Senate passed the trade agreement 76-24. I ' ve got a negative view of it, Crow said. I think it ' s really to play against small business and the individual. What Crow said he found most disturbing about GATT was its part in establishing what might become a one-world government. We have a U.N. flag flying over Manhattan right now, and people don ' t know what ' s going on. It ' s not about trade. It ' s about power and money. However, GATT supporters said it would lower barriers for U.S. businesses and farmers overseas. Roger Trenary, economics said the agreement would help the U.S. economy. I think it will affect the economy in a positive manner, Trenary said. Probably the greatest effect on Kansas is in agriculture. The U.S. complains that Europe subsidizes their exports it puts U.S. farmers at a he said. Part ofthe was to reduce the subsidies. This reduction would help widen the market for U.S. he said. Patrick Gormely, professor of economics, agreed GATT would be beneficial. I think the consensus is that U.S. agriculture will gain, he said. A disagreement about agricultural subsidies between Europe and the United States had caused a three-year delay in talks about GATT, which had existed for almost 50 years, Gormely said. The latest GATT talks began in 1988. GATT offered countries a forum to discuss economic and political issues as they affected trade. GATT cut tariffs by an average of 38 percent worldwide and created a World Trade Organization to referee trade disputes. YEAR in review Jan. 11 — Gov.

Old from both sides of the hallways, with clay dust sprinkled on the studio floors and walls splashed with bright, vibrant colors. Because the students spent long stretches of time at the stadium and had many art tools, they were given lockers.

To avoid theft, Ryan said, students were warned to take their paintings home as soon as they were dry. Like most other campus buildings, the art studios were locked when not in use. Christine Parsley, sophomore in graphic design, said the locked studios led to some late work nights because students couldn ' t get into the studios until about 5 p.m. Although most art classes were worth two credit hours, students devoted extra time to the classes. You spend so much time in class, but you spend at least four more hours outside class each week, Levi Hunter, junior in graphic design, said. I ' ve questioned why we don ' t get more credit so many times. Ryan agreed. Most art majors take 15 hours and are working in the studio all the time, she said. Devoting so much time to their artistic talents was something students started during high school. Parsley said she became in art during high school in Clay Center. She said she chose graphic as a major because she thought it was more structured than other art majors. Students worked with in many art classes. In the lower-level classes, students cut everything by hand. In the higher-level classes, everything is designed on the computer, Ryan said. Creative thinking was for success in art classes. Left-brain knowledge is more important than right-brain knowledge, Ryan said. One student ' s forte was another ' s struggle. Parsley said she found ceramics a little frustrating. I ' m better at two-dimensional work, she said. When you have to have a project that is a certain height and size, the pressure is on. Hunter said he liked his class and figure-drawing class, in which students sketched nude models. The first day of class, it was kind of awkward seeing people in their birthday suits, Hunter said. After a while, though, you just focus in on what you ' re drawing and concentrate on what you need to accomplish. He said he didn ' t have much trouble coming up with ideas. I ' ll see an image in my head and change and add to it, Hunter said. It ' s all about perspective. Parsley leans over her work at the potter ' s wheel.

(Photo by Darren Whitley) The distraught woman into the Veterinary Medicine Complex ' s room and quickly explained she had a horse with colic that needed immediate attention. Anne Willcoxon, emergency desk office assistant, reassured the woman and notified the doctors that the horse had arrived. Everything will start into action here, she said before she began calling all the veterinary-medicine students who were assigned to the equine team. Responding to situations such as this was just part of the job for the workers at the desk. During the day, the desk handled discharges, but after 5 p.m., it served as the E.R. desk. Owners who admitted their through the desk had to pay an additional $35. The desk has to be open and functioning all the time, Linda Rohs, supervisor of the emergency room and discharge section, said. We have clinicians who are on call, and there are students who are here until 10 o ' clock. If an animal comes in after this time, my staff calls students at home. They are to get here within 10 minutes. If the animal is severely injured, the students should within three minutes. With the phone propped on her shoulder, Willcoxon was still trying to reach a member of the equine team when she was interrupted by an upset man. I ' ve got a dog with a possible broken leg, Don Sargent, resident, said. She got hit by a UPS truck. Willcoxon relayed the message to two veterinarians on duty, who retrieved the 5-year old dog, Sally, from Sargent ' s truck. While the veterinarians the dog, Don and his wife, Hazel, returned home to wait for an update on Sally ' s condition. Later that night, they received a call that brought bad news: Sally had a crushed pelvis as well as internal injuries. The Sargents decided to have their dog euthanized. We were pleased with what the did, Hazel Sargent said. Under the there wasn ' t a lot they could Rohs said automobiles hitting animals was the most common cause of injuries among small pets admitted through the emergency desk. About 150 small animals and 35 large animals were each month, she said. The largest number of animals we see are dogs, she said. The second largest are cats. We also see lots of iguanas, snakes and birds. On Oct. 21, horses were also a popular animal on the admittance list. Willcoxon had just finished calling all the members of the equine team when another horse with colic was brought in. Willcoxon picked up the phone and began calling members of another equine team. Working here can go either way, Willcoxon said. I ' ve had evenings when I ' ve been really busy, and then I ' ve had evenings where it ' s been so slow I ' ve died.

We have brought several horses here before, and I felt more comfortable coming here, Thompson said. We have always had good results. Rohs said it was not for people to travel long distances for help at the clinic. We get anywhere from 75 to 100 referrals a month, Rohs said. We work very closely with other vets in the state. We are used a lot for second opinions. Joyce Budt, Olathe resident, made weekly trips to Manhattan with Spencer, her 5-year-old cocker spaniel and poodle mix who had cancer. Budt ' s local suggested she take her pet to the Veterinary Medicine Complex for treatment. Spencer comes on receives his chemotherapy on Thursday and then is picked up again on Friday, she said. He has two more weekly treatments to go. Then he will go to biweekly treatments for another two months. Budt said driving the distance to the clinic was worth it. Spencer is like a part of the family, she said. Wouldn ' t you do everything you could to help save someone in your family? But sometimes the animals couldn ' t be saved. Hal and Chris Snyder traveled to K-State from Lyons to say goodbye to Bingo, their 16-year-old dog. Bingo, a Labrador retriever and collie mix, was suffering from a lung tumor and a neurological disease. Andrea Wright, fourth-year student in veterinary medicine, was in charge of the case. She said although Bingo was a poor for surgery, it was difficult for her to suggest he be euthanized. It is always hard to euthanasia to owners. Some people refuse to consider it as an option, but there are times when the animal is obviously suffering. As difficult as it is to offer, there are definitely cases where we would be negligent not to. Wright met the Snyders at the desk and took them to the unit where Bingo rested. He was covered up with a and had a stuffed animal beside him. Snyder knelt beside Bingo and talked softly to him. He and his wife said good-bye to their pet before Tom Smith, veterinarian, injected Bingo with the anesthetic. Wright wasn ' t allowed to administer the anesthetic it was a controlled substance that only licensed, practicing veterinarians could give. Instead, she helped comfort the Snyders. This is probably one of the hardest parts of the job — to deal with people having to make this decision, she said. There is no training to prepare us for this. There ' s no class that teaches us how to act. You just learn how to help them get through it as best as you can. Back at the E.R desk, enjoyed a few moments of silence. I thought this job would be different and exciting, she said. Besides, there ' s no way you can ' t have a good day looking at a puppy. up in the emotion of Bingo ' s death, Wright holds a facial tissue after the dog was with an anesthetic.

That was where the world of a typical 11-year-old ended and that of Christopher Borhani began. Christopher defied his age. As a K-State student he had 15 college credits in art and geography classes by the time the fall semester began. I wanted to take biology and trigonometry, but they were too full, Christopher said. I went to biology the first day to try and get in the class. It was so much fun. We did chemical tests for starch on potatoes to find protein and sugar with iodine. Rahim Borhani, Christopher ' s father, said Christopher was disappointed he couldn ' t get into the class. I dropped him off at 11:30 and did not pick him up until 5:30, Rahim said. During that time, he did not even get up and go to the bathroom, and he started on the next week ' s assignment. He was a boy with biology on the brain. Christopher said he had planned to graduate from K-State and start medical school at age 15. But his plans shifted, and he exp ected to begin medical school at age 20. I ' m thinking about KU since they have a good med school, but I don ' t like the Jayhawks, he said. School wasn ' t his only passion. Christopher said he considered taking a break after college graduation to pursue another interest. I might go out of college for a couple of years to build up my music, he said. Christopher started playing the piano at age 5. He performed with the Gold Orchestra, part of music department, and at area schools and was planning performances to places such as Chicago, London and New York. Rahim said he was his son to take a two-year break to practice piano. I could make him a good concert pianist now. He will be ready for college, Rahim said. Children learn music and at such an early age. I am afraid that he will fall behind. I am also worried that if I let him be a full-time student, he won ' t have time to do the chores around the house I like him to do. The Borhani parents posted a chore list on their refrigerator of daily tasks for the children to do. Household duties were between Christopher; 10; and Christina, 7. Chrischelle, 4, was still on a vacation for a few years. Schedules and organization were important factors within the household, partly because the children all had home schooling. On the first floor of their home was a schoolroom, which included a blackboard, a science corner with a 3-D poster of the human body, a corner for geography and history with maps and a globe, and a math corner. A dresser in the room contained science lab experiments. Christopher ' s mother, Martha, who majored in elementary in college, taught the social sciences. Rahim, who majored in engineering and architecture, taught the sciences. (Continued on page 102) A statuette awarded to Christopher Borhani for Excellence in Music sits on a nightstand by his bed.

Christopher learned more than reading as a child. He also started taking flying lessons and hoped to fly solo by the time he turned 16. His activities are music and school, Rahim said. Chris picked up flying, but that could be a good, positive thing. Christopher often practiced flying by a computerized flight simulator. I know the basics of flight, but I ' m concentrating on steep turns and formation, he said. Because of his Christopher often dealt with the media. He was featured in area such as the Wichita Eagle, the Topeka Capital-Journal and the Manhattan Mercury. NBC featured Christopher at K-State and showed him in his college algebra class, which was empty. It was always empty, Christopher said. No one ever went. A Current Affair followed him for one day and introduced him as a boy not old enough to drive a car, but who could be holding the scalpel for surgery. He was called the Whiz Kid. Despite all the hype, said he was no different than any other student. I ' m not different from other students. I have to pay fees just like them, he said. I ' m having as much fun as any child.

Rahim and Martha allowed their children to watch television in a controlled environment, which consisted of educational videos, and Charlie Chaplin and Walt Disney movies. Although Christopher had never seen the TV situation Doogie Howser, he knew of the fictional character because people often referred to him as Doogie Howser. I ' m better than Doogie Howser, though, he said. I skipped high school, and it took him nine weeks. They read books faster than I can read them.

It ' s been a big adjustment to have so many people to get and all the details to so many people, said Karla Hommertzheim, senior in education and color guard section leader. The color guard peaked at 24 members during the season, Hommertzheim said. That ' s a big change from when I was working with nine or 11 people, she said. But I think we ' ve adapted really well. I think the whole band has. Alex Shultz, senior in engineering and tuba section leader, said he thought the band ' s growth was impressive. It ' s amazing, Shultz, a five-year veteran of the band, said. I never thought it would happen. It ' s the largest band I ' ve seen. It ' s a lot of work trying to get everybody to do everything at once the same, but it ' s really rewarding, too, Shultz said. I ' m really happy to see it that big because I think it adds a lot. Hommertzheim agreed that the band ' s increased size enhanced its performances. We are more, and we ' re more effective on the field just because of the sheer and volume, and the more effective we are in that way, the more support we get from the and she said. While the band grew in size, it wasn ' t at the expense of tradition. The band continued the Wabash Cannonball, a tradition that dated back to 1970.

Teaching two jazz combos, a concert jazz a jazz trombone choir, a trombone quintet and two levels of jazz improvisation, Wilson inched toward the g oal of an integrated jazz program. The main thing I want to do is create a large variety of jazz performances. We have good classes, but I want to create an integrated program, said. The most important thing is working one on one with the students. Personal contact is key. Wilson hoped to eventually start a vocal jazz ensemble. He also wrote and arranged music for each group. We will be a swinging band. It ' s not easy to do, but swinging jazz lasts forever, Wilson said. We ' ll still do some different pieces. Wilson said he believed it was important to educate talented students on their career options after graduation and planned to contribute about his experiences. band 105 Emert, in the professions program; Kristen Tate, freshman in early childhood Arica Graves, sophomore in education; and Vopata share a laugh on the after the show at the Chiefs game.

But that night, Nichols burned down, which was the old of music. Everything was lost. ' Wabash ' was the only piece of music that was saved because he took it home with him. So, the next game, they played Wabash quite a few times, and the story grew and caught on, Tracz said. There ' s something about that tune that ' s meant to be played at K-State, he said. I don ' t know how it got to Kansas, but then when I the story, it ' s worth playing. It ' s a survivor. Another band tradition was the closeness members developed from spending 10 to 25 hours a week together. For band members who didn ' t always see eye to eye, Tracz started a tradition of his own. We do jumping jacks to the number of points that the offense scored the week before, he said. If we lost the game, we combine their score and our score and do those jumping jacks. And if we don ' t start together and end on that number of jumping jacks, we double it each time. Tracz said a lack of sometimes caused the band to do 100 jumping jacks or more. You ' ve got kids coming from math, biology and English and work and just broke up with their girlfriend or just woke up or are tired, and their brains are , Tracz said. So, being there to exercise together kind of adds a little tenseness to it to get you ' This is band — forget about the world for now, ' ” he said.

Two departments, biology and geology, discovered a portion of the students in introductory courses had cheated on exams. An estimated 95 students were suspected of cheating on a Principles of Biology exam when their grades dramatically increased in a few weeks ' time, Larry Williams, professor of biology, said. The accused students failed the course and were forbidden to retake the course until fall 1995. Campus police investigated the possibility that the exams had been stolen from a department computer. Detective Richard Herrman interviewed 70 students but found no such evidence. David Rintoul, associate professor of biology, said no precautions could keep students from cheating on the weekly exams. Whenever we try to change something, they are always going to be one step ahead, Rintoul said. We should try to minimize the cheating instead of trying to put an end to it. But the cheating didn ' t end. On Oct. 25, graduate students proctoring a Natural Disasters exam noticed about 30 students talking to each other. The proctors attempted to end the talking, but the students continued. When the students handed the exams in, the proctors were able to isolate a few of the suspected cheaters, George Clark, professor of geology and Natural Disasters instructor, said. Because of the suspected cheating, Clark threw out the test scores and said the material would be included in the final. Tiffany Loving, freshman in business administration, said she thought this punished everyone. It was really frustrating to study so hard and not get credit for the test, she said. They punished all 400 students rather than just the 30 who were guilty. We should try to minimize the cheating instead of trying to put an end to it.

Broze and his friend, Brett Kelly, senior in radio television, produced the 16-page paper Kelly ' s house. The weekly newspaper was to greek houses and various Manhattan residents. (Photo by Cary Conover) 110 greek times taking an idea TO PRESS by trina holmes weeks after Brett Kelly, senior in radio television, and Daniel Broze, senior in political science, came up with the idea to start a newspaper, the first edition of the Greek Times was rolling off the press. Starting with $125 between them and an office in Kelly ' s the two were surprised they got the 16-page weekly off the ground. The whole idea of putting together a paper is not something everyone thinks of doing, Broze said. We organized it out of someone ' s house, in a little tiny room. The first night, we stayed up all night putting it together, and then we were cracking up all the way to the press because we couldn ' t believe we actually did it. Before the initial publication Sept. 28, Kelly met with officials from Greek Affairs and and Panhellenic councils. Greek Affairs was concerned with fraternities using it as a tool to say something bad about other fraternities, but so far they ' ve been really responsible, Kelly said. refers to the positive of their houses like their philanthropies. Kelly said the publication ' s was to combat about greek life. You see a lot of people around the community who don ' t know anything about greek life, Kelly said. There ' s so much prejudice out there. They think belonging to a fraternity or sorority just means keg parties, but not many realize being in a greek organization means having standards in the grades you must achieve, in philanthropies and good for other people. Fraternities and sororities are actually very structured and disciplined as opposed to what people may think from seeing ' Animal House ' and ' USA Up All Night. ' The paper had a part-time staff consisting of two freelance artists, freelance writers, a sales representative and three delivery workers. Advertisements paid for costs. Working through the night, Kelly and Broze took the paper to Ag Press at 7:20 a.m. and then distributed the free publication to each of the greek houses and various Manhattan locations. We want the community to know what ' s going on in the greek system, and we want them to know who we are and where we are, Kelly said. He said the staff planned to start another paper in Lawrence and add more schools until it a national network. People would be surprised at what they could do if they thought they could do it, Kelly said. I think people should have in their ideas whether they ' re good or bad and be in themselves and try, eventually one will work. Kelly and Broze produced the sixth issue of Greek Times. Although the two were usually up all night working on the paper, they thought they might actually get a few hours of sleep before taking the paper to be printed at Ag Press.

Fuentes was at K-State to complete a three-week exotic-animal class — a program OSU did not have. The antelope was being treated for respiratory problems. (Photo by Cary Conover) Veterinary-medicine students not only examined dogs, cats and farm animals. They helped exotic animals, too. Fourth-year students who took a exotic-animal class worked on about 550 animals each year. Our main emphasis is on people ' s exotic pets, James professor of clinical said. As part of that, we also do wildlife, injured animals people find, and give them what we can. We also do zoo animals from the Sunset Zoo and Topeka Zoo, he said. Students examined the animals at Sunset Zoo at least once a year. We emphasize preventive medicine, Carpenter said. We do what we can to give the animal a good, healthy life. Caring for a variety of animals provided valuable experience. I learned about how to handle birds and reptiles, like where to take blood from them, Cati Beaty, fourth-year student in veterinary medicine, said. I ' m getting with different approaches to take with these animals. Expanding his basic veterinary knowledge was important to Luis Sigueroa, fourth-year student in vet med. This is a good rotation for me because I ' m planning on being a zoo vet, he said. I ' ve learned the importance of taking a good history and how it helps to diagnose the animals. Beaty also said the experience was beneficial. Since I want to be a small animal vet, I wanted to be Of course, anything that ' s not a dog or cat comes here.

Finnegan worked an average of 25-30 forensic consulting cases per year for the Kansas Bureau of Investigation and the U.S. Army ' s Central Identification Laboratory in Hawaii. (Photo by Mike Welchhans) Finnegan uses calipers to measure a skull in the lab adjacent to his office in the basement of Waters Hall. He tried to use the experience he gained in the field to help illustrate what he taught in his anthropology classes. I can actually show them the things that we are talking about, he said. (Photo by Mike Welchhans) While other professors took attendance, Michael Finnegan, professor of anthropology, was doing a different kind of body count. Using his forensic knowledge, Finnegan worked as a consultant for the Kansas Bureau of Investigation and the U.S. Army ' s Central Identification Laboratory in Hawaii. During the course of a year, Finnegan received 25-30 cases. His most recent case took place in Neosho County in July. It was the skeletal remains of an elderly woman who ' d been missing, Finnegan said. We came up with no cause of death, which suggests she wandered of f and died of natural causes. Field work was also an integral part of Finnegan ' s involvement with forensic science. In early 1994, he was part of a 12-person team sent to Vietnam on a search-and-recovery mission. We were tasked to find the remains of three soldiers killed in the late 1960s, and the bodies had not been recovered, he said. The team spent three weeks in Vietnam on the rare assignment. It was the first time that foot-soldier burials in Vietnam had been successfully recovered. After interviewing people who had been involved with the burials, city officials and area farmers, the team pinpointed the excavation site. As the team members dug into the last grid of the search site, they found a soldier ' s shoulder. As soon as we found them, we were happy as hell, he said. Even though his jobs as a professor and a forensic consultant were different, Finnegan said he would not give up either. I ' ve had offers to go totally forensic sciences, and I ' ve decided against that because it is exciting to work with students, he said. Finnegan taught Introduction to Physical Anthropology as well as primatology, paleoanthropology and a seminar in osteology. I can actually show them the things that we ate talking about, he said. I use slides of my wor k to illustrate such principles. There is something small, but worthwhile when you look out at a class and see blank faces after explaining a concept. When you explain it again and see faces light up, that ' s rewarding. classified senate Front Row: Vanessa Harris, Gina Eastman, Ralph Wolf, Mary Lou Mastin, Cathy Jackson, Cindy Fink.

I felt it gave me a lot more flexibility to bring material to class that would be cumbersome. Paul Jennings, professor of horticulture In the age of the information superhighway, education took on a whole new approach. The Computer and Technology Advisory made up of faculty and staff, gave two colleges and one school at K-State grants to multimedia, a combination of audio, video and text, in their departments. The College of Architecture and Design, the College of Agriculture and the A.Q. Miller School of Journalism and Mass Communications received funds to update multimedia equipment and build new multimedia programs. The College of Agriculture used the grants to purchase for developing programs as a regular teaching tool, Margaret Knupp, assistant specialist with the department, said. I ' m a strong believer that not everyone learns the same way. Some learn visually, auditorally or hands on, Knupp said. Multimedia allows the instructor to say it and show it at the same time. The Department of Horticulture, in the College of used the new technology in spring 1994 to teach a course. I think it enhanced the class, Paul Jennings, professor of horticulture, said. I felt it gave me a lot more flexibility to bring material to class that would otherwise be cumbersome. The College of Architecture and Design developed programs to enhance classes and work within the departments. We were very primitive we got this grant, John Lowe, assistant professor of architecture, said. It has opened a whole new world. Lowe said the next step was to get the material into the hands of the students. When we can get to be he said. it will the way we teach.

McGaughey interned at the museum and gained experience that would help her in her career as a museum curator. (Photo by Shane Keyser) Molly McGaughey first joined the American of Baking, it was only a shell of a museum. They had no policies when I came in, senior in history, said. But after she began working, display cases held everything from tin trays with chubby baker cartoons on them to delicate china tea cups. When for library assistant, Ron Wirtz, director of the Institute of Baking library and curator of the baking offered her a job as museum assistant based on her experience at the Riley County Historical Museum. McGaughey worked at the Riley County museum since June 1992 and did everything from to filing. At the baking museum, she got out from behind a desk and learned firsthand what a curator did. She established a collection policy that included a mission purpose of policy, process for acquiring an object, process of caring for an object, loan policies and an ethics statement. Before McGaughey reworked the policy, people could donate items and then return later and ask for the items back. Changing policies was only part of McGaughey ' s plan. I set my goals really high, and I ' m not sure I ' m going to be able to meet them, McGaughey said. Those goals included of an accession ledger, a of all items in the museum collection, by Dec. 16. McGaughey introduced with first- and second-century pieces from the Byzantine and Roman empires. I ' ve been able to set my own goals, McGaughey said, and I ' ve had a very broad experience. A wooden bread stamp, a piece in one of McGaughey ' s displays, is used for the bread in communion. The Xs stand for Jesus Christ. Other displays focused on the Byzantine and Roman empires.

The class, offered by the of Speech, helped develop the ability to speak effectively in front of an audience. This is one course where you get real-life experience, Mary Nichols, Storytelling instructor, said. It gives you the ability to be a better parent, aunt, uncle or teacher. Students performed a book reading, a storytelling for a class of pre-schoolers and a story-telling aimed at whatever age group the preferred. You learn to work with people and develop better skills, Heather Sell, junior in said. The culmination of those readings was a group program in which two or three developed a 30- to program they performed outside the classroom. Nichols had taught the class for 14 years and saw it evolve into somewhat of a business. She set up most of the outside programs. Sometimes I feel like a booking agent. I book between 25 and 30 programs a semester. The class was not just a but a learning experience. Nichols said the class was for student athletes because it allowed children to see them in a different light and helped the students be more articulate in media interviews. It was also an opportunity for the students to be creative. People can get really creative with this course, Nichols said. Some alter a well-known story and tell it from a new view. Students told the story of Sleeping Beauty as Sleeping Hunk, or told the story of the Three Billy Goats Gruff” from the troll ' s perspective. One program, performed the fall semester by Sell and Ricci McBride, senior in life focused on Disney classics. The two told a group of preschoolers at the KSU Child Center the stories of Dumbo, Jack and the Beanstalk, and Cinderella. Sell and McBride read the story of Dumbo and had the children act out certain sounds. As Sell told the story of Jack and the Beanstalk, the children jumped in, repeating the phrase, Fee, fi, foe, fum. I smell the blood of an Englishman. Chris Clark, teacher of the class, said the children looked forward to the storytellers. When they got here, the kids really perked up, she said. McBride and Sell said it didn ' t take them long to pull the together. It took us about a day to put together the idea, Sell said. The rest of the time, we practiced and got the props. They used the Disney theme for the children ' s sake. We thought Disney would keep their attention since most of them love it, she said. McBride said the class gave her experience in considering the audience when telling a story. The class teaches you to learn about the audience and do on it before you tell them things, she said. You have to learn the tactics you can use to make it interesting to them, and not just tell them the story. Sell asks the children a question while telling the tale of Jack and the Beanstalk. In the background, McBride portrays the character of Jack. Sell and McBride used green construction paper for the beanstalk.

Armstrong was one of five London actors who spent a week of residency at K-State. (Photo by Cary Conover) Five London actors spent a week of residency at K-State to promote an appreciation of literature, poetry and prose. Two of the actors, Gareth Armstrong and Richard Howard, performed a poetry reading called Two One-Handers in Nichols Theatre Oct. 19. Since they are doing an actual residency here, we get to see them in a lot of different lights, Sandy Bussing, professor of English, said. Armstrong was a member of the Royal Shakespeare Company. His piece was called The Intricate Image: A Portrait of Dylan Thomas in Poetry and Prose. Reading a piece titled The Intricate Image: A Portrait of Dylan Thomas in Poetry and Prose, Armstrong keeps the audience ' s attention. The poetry reading, which took place in Nichols Theatre, was open to the public and drew a near-capacity crowd. (Photo by Steve Hebert) For more than an hour, Armstrong stood on a small black stage and used a variety of facial expressions and changed his voice to suit the different characters he portrayed. I was very interested in his ability to show dynamics and range with the text he had, Stephen Seely, senior in pre-law, said. Richard Howard attended Bristol Old Vic Theatre School in Bristol, England, where he had been a director and teacher. His piece, Health and Long Life to You: An English Actor in Ireland Reads from Goldsmith, Yeats, O ' Casey and Others, described war-torn Ireland. As he read, he paused many times, and the audience went silent in anticipation of the next line. I thought the performance was wonderful, Gretchen Morgan, senior in theater, said. The readings were moving and provided insight to the English and Irish cultures. Students said they enjoyed the actors ' visit. The speakers ' styles were really different, and it gave an insight to that kind of literature, Susan Eby, sophomore in secondary education, said. grain science Front Row: Jeff Gwirtz, Dale Eustace, Robert Pudden, Tim Herrman, John Pederson, Ekramul Haque, Carol Klopfenstein.

My mom made the meaning of words to me, and my dad made the usage of words important to me. His was the practical approach, Basiewicz said. She started her science-fiction novel, tentatively titled Protectors of the Key, after transferring to K-State in January 1992. I hate to try to explain it to people and don ' t let them read it, she said. I ' ve found that in the past, if I let too many people read it, then I get so much input, and it ' s no longer mine. Using afternoon writing spurts and nocturnal quiet, Basiewicz polished her prose. She hoped to complete it before May and submit the manuscript for publication. Basiewicz, whose poem War was published in an anthology, said she felt more comfortable writing prose. She worked on her out-of-class projects but benefited from creative-writing courses at K-State. They don ' t tell you how to write or make you write in a voice, she said. They let you develop your own writing style and show you areas that need to be polished. poetry and prose 123 hotel restaurant management Front Row: Jami Breault, Mike Petrillose, Carol Shanklin, Barbara Brooks, Barbara Scheule, Judy Miller.

The building, part of the Veterinary Medicine Complex, also underwent structural changes, which left its hallways littered with fallen plaster and sheet rock. Around the corner, past the debris and confusion, was the of a new dean, Ronald Marler. But he wasn ' t new to K-State. Graduating with a bachelor ' s degree in biological sciences in 1971, he went on to receive two doctoral degrees, in veterinary medicine and veterinary pathology, in 1978. After 15 years in industry, Marler returned to academia. Academia will have to look at itself from a business stance. Who is our customer? The students, Marler said. We need to make sure the services we provide are what the students need. Particularly, he saw the need to propel the College of Veterinary Medicine into the 21st century. The days of the individual taxpayer being able to fund higher education are drawing to a close, Marler said. Money from the federal government is not what it used to be. Academia could learn some lessons from business, Marler said. Some of the good things that go on in industry that academia needs to look at are management and leadership, Marler said. We need leaders. Marler has learned his own from the business world. When he served as vice president of drug safety for Marion Merrell Dow, he put in 60-70 hours a week.

I have a very long, strong and continuous dedication and interest in undergraduate said Brian Spooner, of the Division of Biology since July. Spooner, whose post-doctoral research at the University of in Seattle brought a of breakthroughs in biochemistry, said he in the importance of and teaching. I am one of those people who wholeheartedly disagrees with the notion that you ' re either a good professor or a good researcher, he said. The best instructors should be and often are good researchers as well. As director, Spooner teaching and researching. I think it ' s important to to do those things that a university faculty. He based his role as director on his experiences as a professor. I have a very simple philosophy about what role the at a university is, and it ' s to facilitate the functions of the faculty, he said. Faculty was important to Spooner, from his first year at in 1971 as an assistant of biology to his appointment as director of the University ' s NASA Specialized Center of and Training in Biology. And while he valued faculty highly, also important was his own work— directing the University ' s largest administrative unit — with more than 300 undergraduate majors, 600 graduate students and 40 post-doctoral students. This unit alone brings in $7 million a year in teaching and research funds, he said. That ' s a remarkable record. That record, Spooner said, made the Division of Biology one of the largest industries in the area. A major goal of mine is to ensure the continuation of that stature in the national and international community, he said. To do this, Spooner said, the Division of Biology must attract the best possible faculty members. You could have a university without administrators, he said. You could have some of a university without but you couldn ' t have a university without the faculty.

Unger, a K-State employee for 29 years, became vice provost for Academic Services and and dean of Continuing Education Aug. 18. The focus of the position is to bring technology into the instructional environment, to get students connected to the Internet, to bring in feeds and to give more teaching tools to Unger said. For the first time, a class review session was broadcast from Dole Hall to students who wanted to participate without leaving home. What we want to provide to students, not only on but off are services that don ' t cause the students to be space constrained or time constrained, Unger said. While trained as a computer scientist, Unger took care to make sure the technology didn ' t supersede the teacher. I really want what I do to kind of blend into the background, she said. I don ' t want to do unless it ' s educational for students. We ' re not going to use technology just to use If it ain ' t broke, don ' t fix it. Having worked with since 1958, Unger saw first hand the evolution of modern computer technology at State University. The first computer she worked on had only two bytes of memory. Her mania was computers and technology, but she was first and foremost a teacher. My first love is teaching and I get absolutely turned on in the classroom, Unger said. That love of teaching carried over into her work as vice which allowed her to change the way classrooms were run. But, Unger said, technology must never come first. I am interested that doesn ' t run things, she said. I ' m interested that quality education drive things. All should shrink into the and education should come to the fore. Having witnessed the past 30 years of change in computer technology, Elizabeth Unger brought her enthusiasm for the future to the post of vice provost for Academic Services and Technology and dean of Continuing Education. While she was a computer scientist by training, her first love was teaching. I don ' t want to do anything unless it ' s educational for students.

There wasn ' t a program at that could tell Goering, in modern languages and secondary education, what to expect before she spent the 1993-94 school year abroad. And when Anoland de Leon, in languages and political science, from a year in France, there wasn ' t a program that gave her the chance to share her excitement about having studied abroad. So, de Leon went to the Office of International Programs an addition to the study-abroad program: interns who would share their own experiences. The first interns were enlisted in spring 1994. The program allowed de Leon to share her experiences abroad when she came back to K-State. I was so ecstatic about my experience, she said. Going to France helped me have a new perspective on the world and this is a way for me to get things out to people, to help other people feel comfortable and realize there is someone here for them, she said. The group consisted of four interns who assisted outgoing students and incoming international students, visited classes and helped in the preparation of brochures and orientations. I just had such a beneficial experience, she said, and I know there ' s a world of opportunity here at Kansas State that many people don ' t know about. The interns also benefited from the program, de Leon said. You ' re obviously going to be a different person when you come back and have to recast yourself in the American system. It ' s a really good way to to the U.S. their experiences, de Leon and Goering share their excitement with a student in the K-State Union.

That ' s sort of a silver lining to a not entirely situation. Harry Marsh, professor of journalism and mass communications. K-State ' s oldest journalism professor had to be a great communicator. That was because Harry Marsh, 66, and his wife, Ellie, had an electronic mail and frequent-flyer relationship. The difference in the is it ' s not a relationship where you take each o ther for granted so much, Marsh said. It ' s a relationship where there ' s periods where you do get and that means when you are together, it means more to you. That ' s sort of a silver lining to a not entirely satisfactory he said. Marsh ' s wife of 27 years left Kansas in 1992 to become the head librarian at the University of Washington ' s social-work library. She had wor ked as a clerical librarian at Farrell Library for about 10 years. Because she liked at Farrell, she commuted to Emporia State University to a degree in library sciences. After receiving her master ' s Ellie was promoted to librarian, but she wanted a job with a larger library, Harry said. When the opportunity came for her to interview for the in Washington, her family encouraged her. We told her that we ' d be very lonesome without her, but she ' d worked hard on developing a Harry said. Considering Farrell ' s Harry said Ellie ' s return to K-State was a possibility if he didn ' t retire first. Jokingly, Harry told her he was getting too old to pay the high insurance premiums that old people paid for life insurance and she was going to have to get a career for his security in his old age, he said. Harry, whose wife was 18 years his junior, said her career had always followed his. And while he had attained a career position he enjoyed, her career was just beginning. When they were married in 1967, Harry was just beginning to teach, and Ellie had one year of college left. After she finished college, their children were born. Harry said he thought the Ellie was pursuing had and he supported her. One way to advance your career is to go where the position is that is going to allow you to advance your career, Harry said. Harry said his family was about the effects of the because Ellie always had around her and wouldn ' t have the support group she was used to. We wondered how it would go. I think she felt a greater than I did. She had the experience of always having a around her, Harry said. Separation was easier for Harry because their children attended universities in Kansas and because of his years as a bachelor, he said. Harry ' s experience in the U.S. Army ' s signal corps during the Korean War taught him about the importance of electronics in communications. Electronics taught him about the use of electrical impulses and radio wave modulation, which related to how digital information was handled inside the computer, he said. As a young journalist, Harry filed stories with a typewriter that were edited in pencil and sent to a Linotype machine. Harry said the change to computers never him. I ' ve always been fascinated by technology, Marsh said. Rather than be repelled by it, I was fascinated by how it worked. That fascination was for keeping the Marshes ' and relationship together. The family used e-mail instead of letters during the school year. I really did a lot more communicating that way, Harry said. 132 marsh Harry Marsh, professor of journalism and mass lives in Manhattan while his wife, Ellie, is the head librarian at the library at the University of Washington in Their family supported Ellie ' s move.

Each room in the newly built K-State-Salina residence hall was equipped with a 486 IBM-compatible personal computer, which made it much easier for to do their and class projects. It makes some things a lot easier to do, Bryan freshman in the pilot program, said. Whenever I ' m getting stressed, I just go play a computer game. It ' s nice because you can talk to other people. Instead of calling them up, you can call them up on the computer and say, you want to do homework later? ' In addition to using software for homework, the students could hook up to the Internet.

Two groups of students, from Haskell Indian Nations and K-State, embarked on a mission to conquer prejudice, overcome misconceptions and learn about other cultures. The student exchange, the first of its kind attempted in the United States, was organized in an to combine Western thought with traditional Native American attitudes. It was also meant to help both groups of students view each other from a different perspective, said Daniel Wildcat, chairman of the Department of Natural and Social Sciences at Haskell. The first of the two exchanges occurred Oct. 5-7, when K-State students enrolled in Professor James Sherow ' s History of the Indians of North America class went to Lawrence to visit Haskell. Students were treated to a welcome and joint class session with students from Haskell. The next day began with Sherow ' s students and several Haskell students participating in a breakfast, followed by a Four Directions presentation at the Medicine Wheel, a sacred area for prayer and devotion by students on the southern end of campus. The Medicine Wheel is a very old and sacred place that marks the four directions — north, south, east and west. It means different things to different people, said. It is an icon that Native Americans. It symbolizes the fact that we are all related, and we must learn to respect one another, he said. If we don ' t, we will continue to have conflicts and eco logical that we seem like we have been marching toward in the past few years. Sherow gave a lecture on the High Plains Indian culture in the afternoon, and then both groups attended one of two activities. Some attended the K-State vs. KU football game, while others watched a free performance of On the Edge of the World — Goodbye Columbus, by Dance Brigade, an all-female dance at the Haskell The final day of the exchange began with a walking tour of the Haskell campus .

We are trying to study Indian history not just through the eyes of Western historians but from Native American historians ' point of view as well, said Daniel Lewerenz, senior in philosophy and a member of Sherow ' s class. Lewerenz said the exchange was a prime opportunity for to apply w hat they were being taught in a fun and manner. I think the exchange, for the first year, went very well and should be continued in the he said. A final presentation called Who is really Indian? was given by Wildcat and Nick Peroff, Haskell professor. Both Sherow and Wildcat said the exchange was a success, and they planned on having another exchange. I think the exchange went really well, Sherow said. Both groups of students learned to come into contact with people from other cultures and started to each other as individuals within a distinct group. The professors were not the only ones who expressed about the first exchange. Jeff Gamber, senior in social science and member of Sherow ' s class, said he thought the exchange went well. We were there to find out what it is like to be a person from the other culture, Gamber said. When we went there, we were the minority — the group. It wasn ' t a thing where we were made to feel like a minority. We just got the chance to visit a different way of life both and physically. It was a really interesting experience. The second exchange took place Nov. 9-11 in Manhattan. In order to explore stereotypes, Wildcat assigned the Haskell students a paper in which they were to write about anything that might have forced them to have a bias against the K-State group. We had to write stories about what kind of stereotypes we had about the students from K-State — anything we might have on the previous exchange, Joseph Rader, freshman in at Haskell, said. Then we had to see by these papers if this reinforced or did away with our of what we might have had of them before, he said. The exercise was designed to help students understand other cultural views. I think instead of judging somebody by our values, we were trying to see them through their values and to understand them according to this angle, Pete Hernandez, sophomore in education at Haskell, said. After the students prepared themselves for the change in atmosphere, they arrived at K-State Nov. 9. After a brief welcome and at the K-State Union Flint Hills Room, the group checked into Marlatt Hall and rested.

Wildcat ' s luncheon American Indians and an Environmental Ethos, focused on how modern ecology was a new idea to Western science. Issues of indigenous people and their environmental ethos are needed to be addressed, he said. We now live in a post- ' Dances with Wolves ' society, he said. It has become ' in ' to be With a new-found interest in Native American cultures, said, people often forgot what kind of scientific and historical significance Native Americans had in American society. Rapidly changing technology and the science-based thinking America became accustomed to during the past few decades made it more vital than ever to traditional Native American ways of dealing with those issues. The whole field of modern ecology is only a new idea to Western science, but they are very old ideas for the first Americans. In order to live in harmony within that type of society, one had t o think and use social relationships to tie politics, ethics and scientific thought into one neat package the entire society would follow, he said. Wildcat said the Native culture was one that looked first at the relationship between biology and chemistry and tried to tie that into modern-day issues. Their culture viewed all living things as contributors to society. I am cautiously optimistic that if we remember our community as one that not only deals with two-legged persons but instead looks at the whole issue including plants and animals, we will be able to answer some of the problems we are faced with today, Wildcat said. This point of view is not based on a anti-technology argument. We just must realize that when we apply technology, we must reconceptualize the use of it. The exchange ended Nov. 11 with the group attending Sherow ' s class. Afterward they attended a bison barbecue, observation of a bison roundup and a tour of the Konza Prairie Research Natural Area. Even though it was the first of its kind, students said they felt positive about the exchange.

Tomb said Ronnebaum was shaking when he placed the money on the table. She looked at me like, ' You ' ve got to be crazy, ' he said. (Photo by Shane Keyser) He did it to make a statement. Mark Tomb, sophomore in arts and sciences, paid his fall tuition, totaling $1,042.55, in nickels and dimes to protest the rising cost of college. They ' re pricing the middle class out of an he said. Douglas Ackley, controller, was supervising the cashiers when Tomb paid his fees Aug. 19 with two bags of nickels, one bag of dimes and $100 in rolled coins. Ackley went to the cash station to oversee Tomb ' s fee payment it was unusual for someone to pay in change, Ackley said. Instead of making Tomb wait in line while the change was counted, his fee receipt was stamped as paid, and a police took the money to Bank to be counted. As a result, Tomb ' s wait in the tuition and fee payment line was no longer than that of other It didn ' t take any more time than if I ' d paid by check, Tomb said. They just shipped it off to Commerce Bank. While Tomb waited in line, Commerce had been trying to call Tomb to inform him he ' d been given $700 too much. Commerce took out the extra $700, but the remaining amount was $20 short of full payment. On the first day of classes, Aug. 22, the cashiers office called Tomb and told him he still owed $20 in tuition and fees. Tomb said he had already paid his tuition in full and that he didn ' t want to pay an extra $20 because of what he considered a bank He later paid the $20. Whatever message paying in change sent to the administration, it brought notoriety to Tomb. I ' ve gone to meetings and been known as the change guy, Tomb said. To protest the rising cost of tuition and fees, Tomb carries $1,042.55 worth of nickels and dimes into Ahearn Field House during fee payment Aug. 19. Tomb said he was also protesting that students still couldn ' t pay tuition by mail.

I think the regents will probably start raising tuition levels at the cost of living, Tom Rawson, vice president for administration and finance, said. The consensus is that tuition is at the level where it needs to be. As tuition increases slowed down, K-State completed Phase I of a new computerized fee-payment system in spring 1994. In Phase I, financial aid was listed on one sheet per student and applied to tuition. Douglas Ackley, assistant controller, said Phase II, a mail-in system of fee payment, would require K-State to replace Stafford loans with direct This would mean financial aid must be sent to a student ' s account. Such a system would not be ready until spring 1996, Ackley said. Eventually, we hope to have computerized enrollment, Rawson said, but it ' s not even on the timeline right now. As the method of fee payment changed, the amount of financial aid received changed as well. Director of Student Financial Assistance Larry Moeder said the number of student loans had increased. The student-loan volume for was $15 million, he said. Grant volume remained the same. tuition 143 studying while keeping THE FAITH by prudence siebert Their campuses were only a street apart, and they shared many of the same students, but Manhattan Christian College and K-State offered two different worlds. Melissa Mitchell, senior in business at and at MCC, said attending MCC provided her a Christian environment while she earned a degree at K-State. I ' m from Columbia, Missouri, she said. So, the first question people always ask me is why I came here. I wanted to live in a Christian atmosphere while getting my business degree from K-State. Mitchell lived in a residence hall at MCC her first two years of school and then lived with six other upperclass students in a house owned by MCC. She said there was one main difference between MCC and K-State housing. You may not know who your roommate will be, and you may not get along with them, but you know you both believe in Jesus Christ, she said. Eubanks said MCC students could connect on a spiritual level. Jeremy Eubanks, senior in Christian education at MCC and junior in secondary education at K-State, said despite the size between MCC and the education was similar. The workload is about even, he said. You get challenged on both sides of the street. Jennifer Vantuyl, senior in Christian education at MCC and former K-State student, said she did not think the people were different; rather, their morals, and re creational choices were. Here, there are 275 students, and we all have a common goal, Eubanks said. The reason we ' re here is to learn and grow to save the world for Christ, to see how to go into the world. It ' s a pretty unique bond.

Most important, however, was her resolve to keep Christ in her life. Working in a bank isn ' t as important to me (as it used to be), said Wheeler, senior in business at K-State and junior in Christian service at Christian College. I can use my management skills and still work in a Christian environment. Because Wheeler eventually wanted to work for a campus ministry, she worked for Amore in Juarez, Mexico during 1994 spring break. Amore Ministries does work in Mexico houses, kind of like Habitat for Humanity. I ' d like to work for a group like that doing finance or accounting, she said. After the success of the first trip, Wheeler wanted to travel to Juarez again for spring break. I want to go back down and build a house for a family. They ' re living in a cardboard box, and in four days they can move into a two-bedroom home. Wheeler lived with seven other MCC students in Rebekah House, one of the three MCC halls for upperclass students. I know everybody on campus — it ' s like a family, she said.

In the mid-’80s, student wanted to find some way to prepare students for K-State, to make sure students know where to go for help, said Judy Lynch, associate director of the Academic Assistance Center. Out of this idea came the University Experience class. Designed for incoming the class has been taught by students since it began in 1983. We ' re the only or one of the only universities where students are teaching sections, Lynch said. Students that teach the class gain abilities and confidence in themselves, and it looks wonderful on a résumé. Student instructors found in teaching the Experience class. I think it ' s really been for me. As a student, it gets me out of bed in the said instructor Rachel Marsh, junior in sociology. As an I feel like I might be keeping someone in school that otherwise might be dropping out. Bob Kohl, junior in and information systems, was one of 28 students who taught the class in the fall. When I was a freshman, I was completely lost for the first two weeks of school, Kohl said. I thought it would be great if I could show someone the tricks of the trade. A wide range of students gained exposure to those tricks because of the course ' s structure. Two of the class were offered: the regular version worth two credit hours and an enhanced version worth three credit hours. Special sections were also offered for and international students. We ' ve learned a lot of things about the campus and what the campus has to offer — a lot of things the average student wouldn ' t know, like reading techniques and the Cornell method of notetaking, Matt LeCount, freshman in pre-pharmacy, said. Class activities went beyond study-skills exercises and lectures. We do interactive things, instructor Steve Eidt, senior in biology and chemistry, said. We ' ve done swing-dance moves, exercises and played — things that are not types of things. This class is not that way at all. Class discussions and participation in campus gave exposure to a variety of people. I made them all attend Racial Ethic Harmony Week and a Lou Douglas said Marsh. In class, we debate the greek and topics such as homophobia. for the student meant learning how to approach the class. We all teach extremely ways, Kohl said. The class gives you freedom to do what you want. We all draw different knowledge from our own experiences. her students listen, Marsh discusses the results of their sociology test. Marsh attended sociology with her students and spent two days per week discussing material from class with them.

Members of the Tau Beta Phi engineering honorary used their engineering talents to light up K-Hill, a community tradition, as members of the Bisexual, Gay and Lesbian Society strove to educate and interact with the community. Demonstrating that membership in campus organizations meant more than just interacting with people of the same age, sexual orientation, religion or background, students blurred the boundaries between campus and community. organizations blurring the boundaries 148 organizations David May, sophomore in mechanical lowers the flag from the Vietnam Veterans Memorial during K-State ' s Army and Air Force Veteran ' s Day observance Nov. 9.

Kyle Wyatt) Apes, birds and Vietnamese pot-bellied pigs were part of the tour when Student Gerontology Club members and Stonybrook Retirement Home navigated Sunset Zoo ' s scenic path Sept. 30. Members of the Student Gerontology Club, also known as Alpha Gamma Epsilon, activities like the zoo tour every month. We ' re trying to do two or three activities every month in conjunction with the senior center and other places, Joanna Shoup, senior in management, said. They attended state conventions and volunteered for community activities at local aging institutions. This gave the members hands-on experience. Just helping people is why I ' m into it, Brian Donner, junior in management, said. We try to help them be as active as they possibly can. The club wasn ' t limited to those who had as a minor. Anyone who ' s interested in the field of can join, Jodi Bacon, junior in pre-physical therapy, said. Bacon said one reason she got involved was that she liked interacting with senior citizens. We get to know them; they get to know us, she said. Bacon got to know Nellie Quinlan, the widow of L.R. Quinlan, former professor of horticulture, for whom the Quinlan Natural Area was named. After crossing a small wooden bridge at the zoo and traveling down a path, Quinlan and Bacon came to the African llamas ' cage. As Quinlan and Bacon neared the fence, the llamas came over to meet them. Quinlan reached out and patted a llama ' s nose. People have the same concerns about the world we live in, regardless of age, Bacon said. Shoup said the activities helped the senior citizens enjoy being around the younger generation. It ' s a good opportunity to be around young people, she said. Many times, there aren ' t many young people around. Brian Donner, junior in management, said the club ' s small size of 15 active members helped it work better with nursing homes. It ' s a good number to have, he said. That way, you don ' t overwhelm the residents. Residents had a lot to share with the students, and the students could also share with the residents, Shoup said. We learn a lot from their experiences, she said, and it gives them a friend. gerontology club 151 AGRICULTURAL ECONOMICS CLUB Front Row: Jeff Bartels, Patrick Kopfer, Christopher Seib.

Before, we were invited to talk to classes and groups, but now we ' re actually going out and educating, BGLS fall-semester president Frank A. Axell, graduate student in counseling and personnel services, said. The club continued to speak to classes and tried setting up speaker panels with other classes, Shel Barry, BGLS spring-semester president and senior in interior architecture, said. Part of the BGLS proactive approach included activities such as the Coming Out, Coming Home Conference, which the group sponsored Oct. 10-15. The once day-long conference was a series of brown-bag lunch presentations and evening who focused on issues that pertained to both the homosexual and heterosexual communities. We had a lot of people there that normally wouldn ' t have been there, Axell said. The conference raised awareness in the community. BGLS lets the whole University know that we are here and that gay people do live in Manhattan, conference speaker Heather Nelson, Flint Hills member and junior in psychology, said. Because BGLS did not limit its activities to homosexuals, heterosexuals benefited as well, Axell said. They ' re starting to see us, he said. For a lot of people, they ' ve never known anyone who was bisexual, gay or lesbian. Now they ' re starting to meet them, and it has changed their preconceptions and perceptions. Another activity BGLS participated in was the Safe Zone Project. The project ' s sponsors distributed door hangers that invited others to talk about issues of sexuality. The club also planned a project called SAFE (Students, Administrators and Faculty for Equality). We ' re hoping that once they see that we have support from administration and faculty, they ' ll be more accepting and willing to re-evaluate their own perceptions or misconceptions, Axell said. With its activities, BGLS hoped to send a message that education was the key to understanding, Axell said. Our end goal is to bring all members of the campus together so that everyone can celebrate and learn from the diversity that is around us. bgls 153 AIR FORCE ROTC Front Row: Becky Rabenseifner, Sloggett, KayCee Mills, Jason Ballah, T.J.

Tau Beta Pi members illuminated the letters Nov. 5. (Photo by Todd Feeback) LIGHTING K-HILL BY MOLLY WEIGEL Tau Beta Pi engineering honorary brought a and Manhattan tradition back into the light. Although members of the honorary annually cleaned Manhattan ' s K-Hill, Nov. 5 marked the first time in decades that the hill had been illuminated. I think the last time they did it was in 1947, Randy Schwartz, spring president of Tau Beta Pi and senior in mechanical engineering, said. Formerly Sigma Tau, the honorary became Tau Beta Pi in the 1970s. It was a 60-member honor society that recognized juniors and seniors in the top of their engineering class. The main aim of the honorary, Schwartz said, was to promote community service and excellence in academics. One of the year ' s community-service projects was reviving the honorary ' s tradition of lighting which overlooked the southeast corner of Manhattan, to commemorate Homecoming Week, Schwartz said. Tau Beta Pi had discussed lighting the hill for several years, he said. After getting feedback from faculty, students and community members, the decided to revive the tradition. The organization solicited donations from area businesses for the project. Businesses donated lights and a generator, Schwartz said. Our members donated their time because we have to have someone up there at all times so nothing gets damaged or vandalized. Illuminating the hill was a small part of the honorary ' s annual community-service project. As part of the project, members whitewashed the hill ' s KS letters. Brenda Klingele, fall president and senior in mechanical engineering, said whitewashing the hill was tricky. First, members had to clear the area of weeds, branches, small trees and trash. We try to urge caution, Klingele said. The first drop-off is really steep. Also, it can get really slick on the letters. The next step, scraping the letters, wasn ' t too difficult because the group had done a thorough job the previous year, Klingele said. Some members rappelled down the letters to scrape paint from areas that were difficult to reach. We actually have to get down and climb on the (Continued on page 156) tau beta pi K-HILL (Continued from page 155) letters, so two or three members usually end up pretty white in the end, Adam Hein, senior in nuclear engineering, said. We tied a rope around their waist and had six people hold them so they wouldn ' t fall. Jeremy Whitt, senior in mechanical engineering, said the K-Hill project benefited the community. It ' s a good community-service project. In fact, it is probably better than most because it is so viewed, Whitt said. It also gives pledges their first taste of what kind of projects Tau Beta Pi does. The project was important because the hill was a symbol of Manhattan ' s community, Schwartz said. One of the neat things about K-Hill is that it is not only a symbol of Manhattan ' s community, but a K-State tradition as well, he said. Members of Tau Beta Pi paint K-Hill with were onto the hill ' s letters with rope to protect the members in case they fell. Painting the letters was a tradition for the honorary.

The increase was mainly due to a successful recruiting program. A lot of really good freshmen were heavily recruited, Scott Parmley, first-chair cellist and in music education, said. The staff have a good feel for what they want. Darrin Duff, timpanist and senior in music said the increase in members played a part in the quality of music the orchestra played. It hasn ' t necessarily been the increase in but the amount of talent that has helped the orchestra this year, Duff said. The repertoire has gained a lot, and it ' s a lot more challenging. The orchestra had concerts Oct. 4 and Dec. 6. The concert in March was an opera, which the orchestra performed on alternating years. The spring performance was scheduled for April 18. But the orchestra ' s newest challenge was the performance of a light classical pops concert Feb. 21. The music is lighter and easier, Melissa Miller, violinist and junior in chemical engineering, said. It ' s more appealing to the public. That public consisted of not only community members but a large number of students, David Littrell, orchestra conductor and associate professor of music, said. All of the concerts were free, and many students were encouraged or required to The concerts generally had an attendance of 700 to 900, Littrell said. I think there is a general trend for people on campus to take more interest in the orchestra and our concerts, Miller said. Not only did the concerts provide listening opportunities for the audience, but they allowed the orchestra members to show their talents. If you really like music, you should come, Parmley said. Our concerts display what we know by people who want to make music their life. Not all members were music majors. We have a lot of non-majors and people from many disciplines, Littrell said. Some are very good, and they enjoy playing. Kim Wiggans, bassist and sophomore in modern languages, said one enjoyable aspect of being in the orchestra was the challenging variety of music. The rehearsals and the performances are much more professional, Wiggans said. The people are there because they want to play. Wiggans said she planned to keep music in her life. I hope to always play a little bit in a community orchestra, Wiggans said. Music is too much a part of my life to let it go.

(Photo by Darren Whitley) RAMBLING ON DOWN THE HIGHWAY BY THE ROYAL PURPLE STAFF With weekend travel to states as far away as Minnesota and South Dakota, the Speech Unlimited team used idle time to practice speeches, debate political issues and make friends. You don ' t know how well you have to get along with someone until you have to spend 12 hours with them in a van, Sara Hessenflow, Speech Unlimited president and senior in history, said. Students who had been on the team for four years had traveled the equivalent distance of two times around the world, Coach Craig Brown, instructor in speech, said. Members who have been gung-ho and traveled with us a lot will have a few miles under their belts when they are done, Brown said. We have several members who have touched three borders of the United States. Speech Unlimited was an individual-events team that competed in 11 different forensics events at meets all over the country. The team took van trips that sometimes lasted up to 15 hours, despite the fact that closer schools also had competitive speech teams, Brown said. There are tournaments closer, but we have an eye towards nationals, Hessenflow said. It ' s good to let different parts of the country see your face. Brown said participants tried to attend meets in the same area as the national tournament to get the team familiarized with the competition and expose them to the judges. This year we ' re making a point of going more north, since nationals are in Moorehead, Minnesota, Brown said. That ' s where the competition (Continued on page 162) speech unlimited 161 Drinking a Pepsi, Letourneau listens to advice from Craig Brown, instructor in speech and individual events coach.

Speech Unlimited finished third in the nation in 1994 and placed in the top five in the past three years. Because of the team ' s record and the Midwest ' s reputation for producing quality speech teams, Brown said, it wasn ' t hard to keep good talent coming in. We have a tradition of being the best program in the state, he said. But a lot of times, students come to the University first and the speech team second. Members of the team partially credited their recent success to their new peer teaching. We ' ve taken the experience of the older people and taught new members from that, Rachel Hart, senior in speech, said. We get together once a week and videotape our performances. The interpretation on our team has improved considerably because of this. Tony Filippi, senior in geography, said it was easy for him to get involved with the program. I ' d been introduced to forensics in high school, and I ' d done it for four years, he said. It was something I always wanted to do in college, and finally I said, ' what the heck. ' Hessenflow said any full-time student was eligible to compete, and because of this, it wasn ' t necessary for the squad to do much recruiting. We sometimes judge the high-school state tournament and talk to the participants, but other than that, we don ' t have much of a recruiting effort, Hessenflow said. Of the 35-member squad, between 12 and 20 members traveled to each meet. We split up squads and go to different tournaments, Jared Adams, junior in speech, said. We ' re all performers, so every time we ' re together, something funny happens. With entertaining company, it wasn ' t hard staying awake while on the road. On our way to Moorehead, Minnesota, there was snow on the road, Brown said. A gas truck had slid off the road, and we had to wait. A lot of us got out of the van and had a snowball fight.

Members of Alpha Zeta, the College of Agriculture honorary, sponsored a Halloween party for 20 unmatched kids in the Big Brothers and Big Sisters of Manhattan Inc. program Oct. 29. Children decorated pumpkins and walked through a haunted house under the stands in Weber Arena. The planning began in August for the party, Melissa Anderson, Alpha Zeta chancellor and senior in horticulture, said. I think it ' s something everyone wanted to do, Joey Eilers, Halloween party chairwoman and junior in animal sciences and industry, said. We ' ll definitely do it again next year. Carol Babcock, casework coordinator for Big Brothers and Big Sisters, said she thought the party was a success and better organized than other Halloween events for the children. We really appreciate campus groups ' support, Babcock said. As part of the Ag Friendship Program, honorary members also called freshmen and transfer students in the College of Agriculture during the first semester to make sure everything was going OK. One of the group ' s goals was to promote the College of Agriculture. Ted Schroeder, Alpha Zeta sponsor and associate professor of agricultural economics, said that in a lot of ways, the members took charge of their organization. The group takes care of itself, Schroeder said. alpha zeta 165 a slow period at the Bakery Science Club ' s bake sale, Brian Fatula, senior in science, talks to Struve, senior in science.

Although the club had only 15-20 members, its small size was outweighed by its experienced Joseph Ponte, club adviser and professor of grain science and industry, said. The club ' s membership has cycled from year to year, Ponte said. This year it ' s not a problem for us because we have students with more experience. Erin Brannies, club president and senior in bakery science and management, said this year ' s club gained experience in many different activities. There ' s the baking and bagging of the goods, Brannies said, but you also learn how to work with a group of volunteers, plus how to keep track of funds and prepare yourself for employment opportunities. Members gathered Tuesday evenings to meet and bake items for Wednesday sales, Brannies said. baked goods included varieties of cookies, breads and special-occasion treats. The sales last from 3 to 5 p.m. or until all of our food is gone, Brannies said. We usually make a couple hundred dollars each week, and anything we don ' t sell, we donate to the Flint Hills Breadbasket. Besides having weekly sales, the club also baked products for Family Weekend and the Open House. We baked donuts and French bread for literally thousands of people, she said. Some people come through not knowing we ' ve been around. When they find out about us, they ' re tickled. Sometimes the parents even tell their kids that they will have to start bringing home more food from us. Students kept track of how many hours they worked throughout the year. Those who worked 50 hours or more attended the American Society of Bakery Engineers convention in Chicago, and the top four students attended the Retail Bakers convention in San Francisco, Ponte said. Each of the conventions provides opportunities for students to make contacts for future he said. Brian Brown, senior in milling science and said his work with the Bakery Science Club would open doors for him professionally. This helps me a lot with job opportunities, Brown said. Even though I ' m in milling science, I ' ll have a broad understanding of the industry.

The spring semester was the first time beer rye bread had been sold at the weekly bake sale. Although only 15 to 20 students were in the Bakery Science Club, their experience made up for the club ' s small size.

Membership in the club was not restricted to bakery science students. (Photo by Steve Hebert) FUTURE (Continued from page 167) Although the club offered valuable experience, members encouraged others to participate simply for their own pleasure, Brannies said. I love to bake, James Mitchell, junior in management information systems, said. It ' s fun, and it ' s just another way to meet people totally out of your major. Mitchell said one of the club ' s perks was tasting the dough before it was bak ed. Sometimes you just need to tell if it has the right amount of ingredients in it, he said. Brannies encouraged others to join the club. I have gotten so much out of the club — leadership experience, working with people and meeting new friends, she said. The club ' s small size was probably due to the misconceptions people had about baking, Ponte said. When people think of bakers, they think of someone who puts on a paper cap and fries donuts, Ponte said. These days, over two-thirds of all baked foods are from large, high-tech operations. It ' s just not a small business anymore. Ponte said he thought the club would continue to prosper, even with small numbers. It ' s a fairly well-kept secret, but the club is open to anybody, Ponte said. We ' d like to grow and get more people. Like the Marines, we ' re always for a few good men and women.

Students from 21 high schools participated. (Photo by Mark Leffingwell) A year of planning for Mortar Board members culminated in the Kansas Academic Decathlon. The Jan. 27-28 competition drew more than 200 high-school students to compete in academic events. It is a competition to encourage excellence among high-school students, Jenni Meek, event chairperson and senior in journalism and mass communications, said. Students from 21 Kansas high schools attended the event at the K-State Union. The Academic Decathlon was a regional Lawrence Andre, Mortar Board president and senior in industrial engineering, said. The winning team, Shawnee Mission East, qualified for a national competition in Chicago. The competition consisted of interview and speech competitions and seven different tests over subjects such as math, science, economics and fine arts, Kayla Dovel, senior in psychology, said. Mortar Board, a senior honorary for students in the top 35 percent of their class, had been in charge of the competition for the past three years, Meek said. Three teams of three students from each high school competed in the event. These groups were the honor team, made up of A students, the scholastic team, made up of B students, and the varsity team, made up of C students. Students received awards at a banquet Jan. 28, Andy Wright, senior in biology, said. Seeing the students ' smiling faces at the end and seeing them get the medals and walk back to their schools with a sense of accomplishment is what made it all worthwhile to me and the others in Mortar Board. mortar board 171 BETA SIGMA PSI Little Sisters Front Row: Sandy Laudemann, Kelley Befort, Amy Neises, Lisa Claerhout, Katrina Stenfors.

Hip-hop, country and class were some of the varieties of cultural dances the group performed. Members of the group also came from cultural backgrounds. (Photo by Darren Whitley) Performing dances from a variety of cultures helped the Ultralites dance group contribute to campus diversity. We perform everything from hip-hop dance to country to African class, or whatever the members want to try, Danielle Paris, Ultralites captain and sophomore in pre-law and business administration, said. The Ultralites, a multicultural dance group, tried to keep membership at 12 but usually lost members during spring semester, so they tryouts to maintain their numbers, Paris said. It ' s really hard when you have another dance team like the Classy Cats because you don ' t get the participation, Jonita Woodson, junior in secondary education, said. It ' s hard work, but it is worth it. The group practiced once or twice a week unless it had upcoming performances, for which members practiced almost every day. Because members of the group came from diverse cultural backgrounds, the Ultralites were asked to perform at many cultural events during the year. We have people from the entire spectrum — African Americans, Hispanic Americans, Asian Americans and Caucasians, Kim McKamie, junior in elementary education, said. That ' s why the Ultralites were created. We wanted everyone to be involved. ultralites dance group 173 BLOCK AND BRIDLE Juniors Front Row: Chris Thomsen, James Kirkpatrick, Dan Bates, Travis Vest.

(Photo by Darren Whitley) Big Eight Twister and dynamic speakers were part of the Blue Key National Honor Fraternity ' s Revolutionary Leadership week. Directors of the week chose the theme Leadership to encourage students to take advantage of opportunities on campus. We got speakers who were dynamic to show how the world was changing and what the world would be like when we entered the job market, Stan Stadig, co-director of leadership week and senior in life sciences, said. I thought we took a really different angle this year. We were much less conservative.This year, we went crazy and tried to attract all students, not just the professional ones. To be a Blue Key member, students had to be in the upper one-third of their colleges and serve two consecutive semesters, Brandon Clark, senior in science, said. Members tried to involve more students in the week ' s events. The purpose of the leadership week this year was not just to bring in speakers, but to celebrate and bring attention to the fact that students are involved in a variety of activities, and they are concerned about the issues on campus, Stadig said. Five speakers, four who were K-State alumni, appeared during the week. With fewer speakers than in past years, it was easier for the organization to make guests feel more at home, Paula Ansay, co-director of leadership week and senior in marketing, said.

(Photo by Darren Whitley) VIGIL (Continued from page 175) In the past, all speeches were held in the Union. This year we took some of the speakers where they best fit in, Ansay said. Sam Brownback spoke in Waters Hall. In fact, the room he gave his lecture in was the room he used to teach in. Other activities, such as the first Leadership Vigil campout, compensated for fewer speakers. We wanted to draw more people in because we needed to increase attendance, Ansay said. We came up with the Leadership Vigil, where we camped out for 94 hours since it was 1994. The vigil started at midnight Nov. 7 and continued through Nov. 11. Almost every night, the members did something exciting, Ansay said. We played Big Eight Twister, where instead of colored dots, there were dots with Big Eight Ansay said. Another night we had a scavenger hunt, and we also had a live remote on DB92. Members promoted five issues: parking, tenure, biking, campus safety and student financial aid. They encouraged students to sign petitions, and collected about 1,600 signatures to present to Student Senate. We want Senate to realize that students want to get involved, Becky Keller, Blue Key president and senior in human ecology, said. They need to know that students do care, and they are aware of issues, and they do want change. blue key 177 178 soccer club A soccer player kicks the ball away from Brice Bohrer, sophomore in art, during the Big Eight soccer at Frank Annenberg Park.

There is hope to become a varsity sport, Eric Fitzwater, club player and sophomore in medicine, said. Right now it seems the women ' s program is a lot closer because of Article IX, which is the equality rule. So, is looking for another women ' s program to against the men ' s programs. Actively, there wasn ' t much club members could do to make soccer a varsity sport, Kris Dekker, club president and junior in engineering, said. As long as we maintain the club and make sure that the soccer can be seen, maybe someday there will be more interest in making it a varsity sport, he said. Club membership was not a problem, as each semester about 30 people showed up to practice, Vicktur Atughonu, club coach, said. Thirty people is about right, but it is too much work with more, Atughonu said. Not all of them get to play, and I don ' t like people sitting on the bench. Since everybody likes soccer, I don ' t want to push them away. I want them to be there and that the time will come when they can play and represent the club. Fitzwater said he hoped with the club ' s increasing membership, a rise in game attendance and would occur. One way the members their fan support was by sponsoring a round-robin tournament, the Ed Chartrand Memorial Soccer Tournament, which took place in (Continued on page 181) Frank Weeks, senior in drinks from a jug during the game against Oklahoma State at the Ed Chartrand Soccer Tournament April 16.

The tournament consisted primarily of Big Eight Conference soccer teams, with other area teams occasionally being invited. Atughonu said the tournament coordinators tried to make the Chartrand Memorial a Big Eight event. If a conference team was unable to attend, area teams like Emporia State or Fort Riley served as Even though the club had the home-field for the tournament, it had been several years since it had captured first place. In the Chartrand tournament, every time, we place second against Iowa State or KU, Atughonu said. It ' s been a long time since we have won the tournament — at least five years. The Chartrand Memorial honored the memory of Edward E. Chartrand, a business graduate and soccer player who died shortly after graduation in May 1979 at age 22. Although the tournament was important, Atughonu said, becoming a varsity sport was the club ' s priority. He wanted the club to grow in popularity and draw the administration ' s attention. We ' d be telling them to look because KSU soccer is doing all kinds of great things. The is backing them, and they want to see it a sport, not just a club-level sport, in the state of Kansas and throughout the Big Eight, he said.

Alba Velez, junior in interior design, helped return fast-pitch softball to K-State after a six-year hiatus. I started thinking about it my senior year in high school when I realized that K-State didn ' t have a fast-pitch softball team, but didn ' t get around to starting it until my junior year at K-State, Velez, coordinator of the club, said. K-State had a varsity softball team until the 1987-88 season, when the Department of Intercollegiate Athletics decided to drop it as a varsity sport. Then athletic director Larry Travis didn ' t think the University could afford a fast-pitch softball team, Ralph Currie, softball coach from 1979 to 1988, said. According to University policy, males had to be included for the group to be an official But Velez said she was when no men came to the informational meeting. There are no males. The is if we let men join, we play Big Eight teams with no guys, she said. It ' s not fair. One man, Pat Marden, senior in construction science, showed up at the meeting and volunteered to coach the team.Marden played softball for more than 30years and coached it for 15 years. I had been thinking about the same thing for a few years, and I saw their (Collegian) ad and wanted to see where it wqas going, M arden said. After the meeting, Velez had about 25 women join the team. With a team and a coach, Velez next worked on getting a schedule together. The team played 11 games against the University of Kansas, Wichita State University, Washburn University and others. Most of our games are away because they are (Continued on page 184) fast-pitch softball After practice, the team huddles to discuss plans for post-practice activities.

The University provided money for 15 players to travel up to 500 miles away, paid tournament fees and helped cover the cost of equipment. The team got into shape by doing aerobics twice a week and lifting weights, Lisa Wolf, junior in accounting, said. The team was shooting toward becoming a sport in about two years. Velez said she worked hard to get the team where it was but said there was a long way to go. I had to go to the club governing board and talk to them and make it a club, Velez said. From there I have to go through the athletic department. The team looked forward to the possibility of becoming a varsity sport. I would like to see K-State get softball back. They had it, but it was unsuccessful, Marden said. I would like to get the team to a level that they can compete. Some players wanted the sport to become a varsity sport again for personal reasons. I hope it becomes a varsity sport for the and money to help me with the cost of school, Wolf said. However, the players said they were just glad to have the opportunity to play. I love softball and fast pitch, and when I decided to come here, I thought they had a program, Wolf said. When I found out about this, I just wanted to get involved. Being involved often meant being competitive, but Marden said the team ' s goal was just to play and have fun. I don ' t feel any pressure at all. I don ' t see how anyone could expect anything from these girls — they aren ' t recruited, Marden said. First thing we ' re going to do is have fun. That ' s my philosophy. Simonson, junior in English, t hrows a ball to second base during practice. The team, which consisted of about 25 women, had a goal of becoming a varsity sport. A varsity fast-pitch softball team existed until 1988, when it was dropped because of financial reasons.

ICC picks up the students from the Kansas City airport and brings them back to the Union Station for a welcome-back party, which consists of food and a dance, Irani said. ICC also makes arrangements for the international students to live with a student from their own country for a couple of weeks. The students become more familiar with Manhattan and don ' t feel as homesick. ICC acted as a parent umbrella for 18 individual organizations made up of more than 200 students from 90 countries. ICC helps student groups organize their own international events, Srinin Sundhararajan, of ICC and graduate student in engineering, said. The groups hold events such as African Night and India Night. In April, the ICC sponsored International Week, which included rallies, speeches, luncheons, table displays, international movies and performances from people representing a variety of different countries. The week concluded with a potluck dinner featuring dishes from representatives of various countries. During the celebration of the Chinese New Year, Dong Fan Wu, Manhattan resident, models an ankle-length dress for the crowd during the fashion show. The celebration, an student sponsored function, was partially funded by ICC.

Fellowship of Christian Cowboys brings the western way of life together with the Christian, President Dan Trevithick, senior in construction science and management, said. FCC, which met every Wednesday, offered a non-denominational setting in which people with similar backgrounds could gather and feel talking about the Bible, Trevithick said. Denomination isn ' t what really matters, he said. If we started nit-picking about religion, it would really narrow down the group. Bible studies weren ' t the club ' s only activities. The group also went on trail rides and camping trips. On Nov. 18, about 10 members went on a camping trip to Pottawatomie State Lake. Clayton Walenta, graduate student in mechanical engineering, said the group fixed dinner over an open fire and sang country songs and Christian choruses with guitars and harmonicas. They slept on a tarp and cooked breakfast over the fire, he said. Dan Suderman, vice president and senior in animal sciences and industry, called the organization a support group for cowboys and cowgirls. If you have a personal relationship with not only God, but with other people in the group, it ' s a lot easier to talk about your problems, and that helps you deal with them a lot better, he said. Walenta said the fellowship provided a supportive atmosphere. We love and hold each other up, Walenta said.

Members took notes on any piece of paper available during the contests. (Photo by Darren Whitley) students and a coach brought home a championship in November for the first time in more than a decade. The K-State Livestock Judging Team won the national livestock judging championship at the North American International Livestock Exposition in Louisville, Ky. The team hadn ' t won the event since 1983. The 1994 team was the first K-State team since 1974 to win both the Louisville and the American Royal contests. Students judging livestock evaluated and placed classes of four live animals per species for structural correctness and traits the industry and consumers desired in market hogs, sheep and beef cattle. They verbally defended their placings to a judge. Brian Anderson, senior in animal sciences and industry, was the highest-placing individual at the American Royal and third overall in Louisville. Anderson said he thought the 1994 team was the only one in the history of the American Royal, Louisville and the Mid-America Classic Livestock Judging Contest in Wichita to win all three The team was undefeated during the fall season. The team ' s success took a lot of hard work, Anderson said. He said sometimes it was hard to stay focused and manage school responsibilities, especially after the Louisville contest. Kevin Kuhlmann, senior in animal sciences and industry, was enrolled in 19 hours in addition to judging. The team spent at least 40 hours a week together, he said. Practice makes perfect, he said.

(Photo by Darren Whitley) WARDING OFF WINTER BY CHARITY WOODSON AND CHRIS DEAN American Society of Heating, Refrigerating and Air Conditioning Engineers worked in with Manhattan ' s Home Owners and Energy Program in choosing a home to winterize for low-income residents. Blanche Stevenson and her son, James, were chosen for the Oct. 29 project because limited resources and health problems kept them from their house winterized, Brian Uhlrich, fifth-year student in architecture, said. Members started by performing a series of tests to measure the amount of air that leaked into the house. We deal with infiltration, Uhlrich said. That is the amount of air that leaks into a building, and how much heat you must supply to the building depends on this. Using a fan that fit evenly in the door frame, members filled the house with more air than it could normally hold and then released a smoke pellet in the house so they could see where the air was leaking. After the leaks in the house were located, the group, consisting of 12 ASHRAE volunteers, sealed the leaks and performed the tests again to make sure their work was successful. An additional 6-10 inches of paper-fiber insulation had to be added to the Stevensons ' home. We didn ' t have a large number of volunteers, but from the word ' go, ' everyone was giving it their full effort, Mark Hazlett, junior in construction science and management, said. It was a effort, and people weren ' t just saying ' Aw, I gotta do this for my resume. ' Hazlett said the group ' s work had the potential to reduce the Stevensons ' monthly KPL Gas Service bill from $150 to $100. Uhlrich said the project not only helped someone in need but also gave members the chance to classroom learning with hands-on experience. ASHRAE members were further exposed to their field by participating in Shadow Day, Dec. 5, when members of the group traveled to Kansas City and spent the day observing members of their profession. It ' s an opportunity for students to explore career paths in their field, Uhlrich said. A lot of people don ' t know exactly what they want to do when they graduate, and this lets us see what professional are doing on the job. ASHRAE helped students build contacts and networks, Scott Stroshane, vice president and fifth-year student in architectural engineering, said. Once you get into the working world, the society is tight, he said. If you would have a question, then ASHRAE would help you out or point you in the direction of someone who could. ashrae 197 HABITAT FOR HUMANITY Front Row: Aaron Rice, Jason Leavitt, Chris Hansen, Bruce Truong, Sumita Gupta, Cathleen Donahue, Shannon Murphy, Garry Harter.

(Photo by Darren Whitley) Gymnastics Cliub membership declined to four participants after its practice facilities were moved from Ahearn Field House to the Manhattan Gymnastics Center. Jeremy Cowell, club president and senior in engineering, said the move was due to the Lifestyles Improvement through Fitness Enhancement program, which offered a fitnes s training program to faculty, staff and community members. Being moved from Ahearn really hurt because of the cost. When we were in Ahearn, members paid around $18 for insurance and $5 dues for the whole year. Now that we have moved, members still pay the insurance, plus $5 per practice. We work out twice a week, so it can really add up, Cowell said. The Department of Intercollegiate Athletics supported the club financially to help increase membership and awareness of the club. I put ads in the Collegian every other week, Cowell said. After my first ad, I received 15 calls from interested people. David Vacca, junior in accounting and finance, was one of those interested. I saw the ad in the paper and started coming to work out, Vacca said. It ' s great because everyone here encourages each other.

The club, affiliated with the world ' s largest program, the American Taekwondo grew to 50 members after starting in 1991 with just three members. Because the club began with few college participants, it became affiliated with the University to enable students to compete on a collegiate level and to build membership. We affiliated the club with K-State to focus on college students so members could compete on more of a college level, Mark House, senior in history, said. Even though we ' re a K-State organization, the tae kwon do instructors for the club have guidelines from the ATA to follow. The club planned to give lessons to youth and to have clinics on sexual harassment, rape and assault. Another activity the club planned was continuing its tournament success. Excelling at tournaments sent 11 members to the Songahm World Championships in Little Rock, Ark., in June 1994, House said. Sally Wallis, vice president and junior in chemistry, placed first in every tournament and placed first in forms and sparring at the world championships. Seven other members also placed at the tournament. The world championships were unlike anything I ' ve ever been exposed to, D.C. Lehman, graduate student in economics, said. At regular tournaments, if you don ' t have your equipment, you ' re out of luck. At the world your competitors would let you borrow their equipment.

Hockey is special to me because, being in you don ' t hear much about hockey, said Glenn Kipp, Manhattan resident and team member since 1985. You don ' t think people play hockey here. Yet, here in this college town, you have a team that plays hockey against other colleges. Hockey was non-existent in Manhattan before resident Ted Conn started the hockey club in 1985. Conn, who had leukemia, died in December. We decided to dedicate the season to Ted, Kipp said. If it wasn ' t for him, nobody would be playing hockey in this town. We ' d be hitting a puck around wishing we had a club. When the Manhattan Parks and Recreation Ice Rink opened for the season Dec. 1, Kipp ' s brother Chuck and four other members of the hockey team taught 60-70 local children to ice skate and play hockey. We have so much interest in the ice rink — it ' s amazing, Chuck Kipp, senior in English, said. This is the only ice rink I know of in Kansas. Because of the novelty, the ice was often packed with children waiting to take lessons. On weekends, we have too many kids on the ice, he said. Some have to sit on the sidelines. When we first opened, I remember no one knew what hockey was. And now it ' s getting really big. As the popularity of hockey in Manhattan increased, so did the hockey club ' s record. In the 1994-95 season, the team played Southern Illinois University, the University of Nebraska, Methodist University in Texas and Drake in Iowa, and won all games except the Drake match. We had a record-breaking year, said hockey club president Chuck Downey, graduate student in horticulture and team member for three years. We ' ve won more games in the first half than we used to win in a whole year. Part of this was due to an increase in membership. While team members in previous years had been from out of state, Downey said this year the team recruited four students from Kansas City. We ' ve been going strong for four years, Glenn Kipp said, and this year we have the strongest team we ' ve had in four years. We ' re more organized — I hate to use that O word. Getting organized for play meant year-round (Continued on page 205) ice hockey club 203 INTERNATIONAL TELEVISION ASSOCIATION Front Row: Christie Hermesch, Eric Pack, Michael Werner, Jason Knowles, Paul Prince.

(Photo by Darren Whitley) SEASON (Continued from page 203) preparation for the hockey season that began in October and ran until late April or early May, Downey said. With 25-30 games a year, most of which were out of state, traveling was a way of life for the team. Managing the team, which had 14 regular members and 10 alternates, proved a formidable task, Downey said. We get along pretty good, he said. But we get into squabbles because we don ' t have a coach. Some of us try to play coach. If only one thing was remembered about the season, Kipp said he hoped it would be Conn ' s gift to the community — ice hockey. I love hockey, Kipp said. A lot of these guys, if they weren ' t here, they ' d be playing hockey somewhere else. I ' ve gotten to be friends with these guys, and I kind of watch their backs on the ice. ice hockey club 205 ENGINEERING MAGAZINE Front Row: Christian Tonn, Eric Patterson, Michael Jansen, Jeff Stueue, Greg Corder.

Christiane Kuechler, graduate student in languages, started the choir in the fall. I have an exchange grant. My professor in Germany thought we should bring some culture over with us, Kuechler said. I can sing, play the piano and guitar, so I decided to start the choir. Members of the choir were not required to be music or German majors. They only had to be interested in the German culture. I wanted to keep up with the German. I figured this was a good way to hear the language and speak the language. It ' s like a very small conversation class, Scott Huggins, junior in modern languages, said. Most choir members were familiar with the language, and two German teachers were with the club, Kuechler said. There are three people who don ' t know at all, she said. They learn by phonetics. They are doing quite well, too. I say the words, then they say them, and I translate. The group performed a variety of German songs and explained each song prior to singing it. Although being in the choir was a learning for many, weekly practices were also for enjoyment. It ' s just a lot of fun. We joke around, Scott Baker, senior in feed science management and modern languages, said. There ' s not a lot of pressure to do things perfect. german folk song choir 207 K-STATE-SALINA STUDENT AMBASSADORS Front Row: Jason Beckman, Jared Bohndorf, Grant Cox, Bryan Hoeffner.

While this is a religious organization, this is more than a social group, Libby Rittmaster, senior in modern languages and Latin American studies, said. It ' s a support group, a group of friends. While we don ' t all know each other well, we ' re all there for each other. The club sponsored speakers throughout the year. Rabbi Larry Karol from Topeka spoke during Racial and Ethnic Harmony Week Oct. 3-8. Club members also participated in United in Understanding, an event that took place during Martin Luther King Jr. Week in the International Student Center. To promote their Jewish identity, Hillel members shared special holiday customs and Jewish traditions. Being Jewish means special holidays that you celebrate the same way.

The Heart of America Collegiate All Stars team helped create history by compiling a 4-0 record at the Sept. 1-2 tournament in Austin, Texas. It was the first time any team from Heart of America had won the tournament, Jim Lyczak, in horticulture, said. The club had four players selected to represent the region in the tournament: Lyczak; Steve Bayne, junior in microbiology; Kelby Hellwig, senior in park resources management; and Matt L. Smith, sophomore in agribusiness. But Bayne broke his leg and was unable to play. We were doing drills, and I broke my leg, Bayne said. The break healed, but I couldn ' t play for the rest of the semester I tore ligaments. The remaining three competed as part of the Heart of America All Stars team, playing against four other teams from across the nation. Members ' pride grew during the tournament, Lyczak said. We all went out to this pizza place, and we had our T-shirts on, Lyczak said. These little kids thought we were a football team. As the season progressed, club members found themselves playing against some of the same Heart of America team members. We kinda went after each other, Lyczak said, and yet it is fun having the friendships. of the rugby club huddle on the field.

That was how Scott Bauer, president of Secret Masters of Fandom and sophomore in physical described the new science-fiction club. You hear the name Secret Masters of Fandom, and people have no idea what to expect, he said. It ' s a sleeper club — not many people have heard about us at first, and then all of the sudden people will just wake up. The club focused on all aspects of science fiction, ranging from Star Trek to card games. We appreciate science fiction and all of its aspects. Most of us are interested in one or two things of a wide variety, Bauer said. The club ' s name originated from a game called Illuminati by Steve Jackson, he said. We contacted him and asked if we could use a name off a card from his game, Bauer said. is an old board game that tries to control various groups in conspiracy to take over the world. Besides Illuminati, members participated in a variety of activities related to science fiction. Despite their numerous activities, Secret Masters of Fandom was a laid-back club, Thad Williams, vice president and senior in art, said. It ' s fun with minimal effort, he said.

We didn ' t cheer until the eighth day, so we had a lot of fun lying out on the beach and not worrying about anything, Al Un, junior in psychology, said. The athletic department did a great job, being able to send so many of us, he said. Six couples (six cheerleaders and six yell leaders) got to go for the whole trip. The cheer squad consisted of one varsity and one junior-varsity team, each of which had eight men and eight women. Varsity members cheered at all football games, while the JV team helped at home games. Members with seniority were chosen to cheer at the bowl game and represent the team at other activities on the island. We had pep rallies and a few showings to do, but we had a lot of free time to see the island, Amy Parish, junior in pre-medicine, said. Beyond cheering at games, the squad had other responsibilities during the year. All 32 members attended UCA College Camp Aug. 10-13. We did really well at camp this year, Suzanne McKee, in biology, said. It was in Milwaukee, but we stopped in Chicago and stayed there for a night. It was a lot of fun. The squad performed well at the camp, especially in the chant competition. This was a huge camp — over 1,000 people attended it. We learned new material and practiced, then competed in many different categories, Parish said. We placed third in the chant competition, which is really good for a camp that size. Un said the camp was vital for new squad members. Camp was a lot of fun and really important, especially for the younger people on the squad, Un said. It ' s a really good time to get to know each other. Camaraderie among team members was not only evident at camp but also at the Aloha Bowl. We spent one-fifth of our day together every day.

Second semester we worked on putting together a videotape of a cheer, chant, fight song, crowd involvement and also included a skills section. We show some video of just us and other shots of us performing in front of a crowd. They (the judges) like to see what we can do by ourselves, but also how we can get the crowd involved, Parish said.

The more people that know about us, the more students we will be able to get involved, Green said. Members tried many methods of recruitment. We have a table in the Union every and we had a booth during fee payment, Heather Fosberg, junior in human development and family studies, said. Consisting of both students and community members, the club divided into smaller groups to be more personable, Green said. The small groups usually have about eight to nine people in them and meet about once a week, he said. Groups met in a variety of places, from residence halls and greek houses to off-campus apartments and houses, he said. The entire group met Fridays and did more than just study the Bible, Fosberg said. We also do a lot of singing during meetings a lot of fun, she said. The group also had skits at meetings to promote different activities, Rebecka Hodges, junior in said. Anybody could join InterVarsity as long as they had an interest in Christ and meeting friends, Green said. The club led to friendships, spiritual growth and the opportunity to get to know God better, said.

Members of the Hispanic American Leadership Organization sponsored numerous events during the month including a culture night. The Oct. 15 event gave students a chance to celebrate Hispanic Month in the International Student Center. It was really impressive, the large turnout and all the different people from different backgrounds, Carmen Sanchez, junior in civil engineering, said. On Oct. 22, HALO brought in a salsa and reggae band to play at Bombers, an Aggieville bar. Group members also organized fundraisers to help pay for a trip they took to the Midwest National Hispanic Conference in Chicago. Besides having a car wash, the group sold T-shirts. At the Chicago conference, which was during the last weekend of October, members attended different workshops in which they listened to lecturers. One of the lecturers was Vice President Al Gore. It was pretty neat, Elda Pecina, sophomore in social work, said. I thought that in a room of 5,000 Hispanics he might be a little intimidated, but he seemed to fit in. He even spoke Spanish to us. The club also participated in the Racial and Ethnic Harmony Week walk, in which they wore the shirts they had for the trip to Chicago. The people who participated were mainly Caucasian Americans, African Americans and Asian Americans didn ' t really participate, Ohrenberg said. I was a little disappointed at the lack ofdiversity. Although the week ' s activities weren ' t as diverse as some wanted, Katrisha Thomas, freshman in prehealth professions, said she was impressed with the variety of people who got involved.

It was a corporation. Started in the early 1950s, the K-State Flying Club Inc. originally was affiliated with the but later became self-supported, Sam Knip, flying club president and K-State alumnus, said. You still have to have a connection with K-State because that ' s what is stated in our bylaws, Knip said. When we were originally chartered, that was one of the requirements. The club, the second largest in the state, owned five airplanes, which were kept at the Manhattan Municipal Airport. Of the 65 members, about half were students, and the rest were faculty, staff and alumni, Knip said. For liability reasons, the club had been a corporation since it began, Larry Sampson, flying club member, said. Because of this, joining the club meant members had to purchase stock certificates. You have to buy $200 in stock, but you end up getting all of that back, Mike Newcomb, freshman in pre-medicine, said. You buy stocks in the company, and through that, the planes are rented out to you at an hourly rate half that of the airport ' s rental costs. Knip said the purpose of the organization, which had about 10 club-approved instructors, was simply to promote aviation. The best way to do that is to find people who want to learn, he said. I learned how to fly with the flying club. Brockway, research technician, makes a turn above the northwest edge of Tuttle Creek Dam and Resevoir.

UPC ' s Special Events Committee was able to sponsor a concert after receiving $19,000 from the Union Expansion fund. The Nov. 7 Live concert with opening acts Weezer and Fatima Mansions was the first concert since the early 1980s UPC arranged, Ann Claussen, UPC program director, said. The last time we did a concert like this was 1984, a Starship concert, Christy Drake, Special Events Committee chairman and sophomore in political science, said. This year, with the Union Expansion fund, we were able to pull off a higher level of programming again. Drake said organizers learned how to plan for the event as they went along. In its second year, the Multicultural Committee tried a variety of new activities, many of which were during Black History Month in February. Fusion, a program hosted Feb. 17 in McCain Auditorium by members of the nationally known group Arrested Development, involved music, dance and narration from African cultures. It was something that hadn ' t been done for the students that involved both history and education, Mary Taylor, fall Multicultural Committee and senior in psychology, said. We thought students would like the fact that the group did have ties to Arrested Development.

(Photo by Shane Keyser) ACTIVITIES (Continued from page 225) The Fusion audience did more than just watch the program, Taylor said. There was a limbo section in the program, and a lot of students went up to do that. The DJ also played music from the ' 60s, ' 70s and ' 80s, and everyone was allowed to go on the stage to dance during these times. Proposed by the Black Student Union, the Feb. 18 Ebony Fashion Revue in the Union Ballroom was another new program the Multicultural Committee sponsored. Clothes for the event were by local retail businesses. We had about 24 models that ranged in all ages, sizes and colors, Tasa Chatman, spring Multicultural Committee chairman and freshman in and mass communications, said. We weren ' t in front of people we knew and saw every day, but we were still comfortable. Another important event sponsored by the Multicultural Committee was Ashanti, a rhythm-and-blues group, Taylor said. The committee did little promotion for the Oct. 7 but had an unexpectedly large turnout. All we did was play a CD outside the Union Stateroom, and people would flock to the table and say ' Who is this? ' ' ' Taylor said. This was the first time in about 25 years that this type of program has been brought in for students of color. We planned for 100 people, but about 350 showed up. The Multicultural Committee ' s programs were designed to involve all types of students, Taylor said. By doing the programming, we have helped to make multicultural students a part of the campus, she said. I like being part of the solution, not the problem.

Members a in New Orleans. (Photo by Darren Whitley) over the University ' s discrimination policy almost resulted in the elimination of Arnold Air Society from K-State ' s student organizations. The Student Governing Association considered eliminating AAS after finding a discrepancy between the organization ' s admissions standards and the University ' s discrimination policy. My understanding is, to be in Arnold Air Society, one of the requirements is you ' ve got to be an Air Force ROTC cadet, and to be an ROTC cadet, you cannot be gay, Cadet Russell Allen, AAS fall commander and junior in criminology, said. Since the club was affiliated with the Air Force ROTC, it was required, by federal law, to bar entry to members displaying homosexual conduct. AAS had to follow this since it was governed not by the University, but by federal law. It would not, discriminate against individuals who did not disclose their sexual orientation, Allen said. Ben Clouse, SGA treasurer and senior in said confusion resulted in the fall when AAS tried to register with the Union Activities Board, and it appeared K-State ' s policy conflicted with federal law. The UAB guidelines state that we must follow the federal non-discrimination clause, Clouse, fall UAB chairman, said. With the new federal law, it doesn ' t actually discriminate (against homosexuals) under ' don ' t ask, don ' t tell. ' UAB has to follow federal law because we receive federal funding. AAS continued to be a student organization because it had an auxiliary club, Silver Wings Angel Flight, which had no entrance restrictions. Cadet Anthony Woodcock, junior in computer engineering, said AAS offered the chance to help the community. It gives you the opportunity to be in a leadership position and the opportunity to serve the community, he said. It introduces you to what ROTC is about.

Avner the Eccentric was chosen to perform at the party because he had a family show that people of all ages could enjoy. The party also included pizza and games. (Photo by Cary Conover) Student Development Council became the McCain Ambassadors to better reflect members ' job descriptions. We wanted to show that we were more than just ushers, said Todd Lakin, McCain Ambassadors president and senior in industrial engineering and pre-law. So, we changed our name to show that we are actually ambassadors for the arts. The group also set up a constitution and an executive board. The McCain Ambassadors, created in 1987 by the Friends of McCain board of directors to help involve students in McCain ' s activities, hung posters upcoming events and ushered at the When members of the organization ushered two events, they received a free ticket to donate to local children. This year, the tickets were given to the children of the Big Lakes Developmental Center Inc. The ambassadors also helped with the Friends of McCain ' s annual children ' s party. The Feb. 5 performance of Avner the Eccentric, a silent clown who did magic tricks and physical comedy routines, was the production chosen for the event because it was a family show everyone could enjoy, Lakin said. Before the show, McCain Ambassadors dressed up and helped guide 135 children ages 3 to 13 from station to station, where they played games, ate pizza and got their pictures taken. They had the entire tunnel to the green room done in black lighting, and the kids loved that, Beth Hochberg, sophomore in pre-health professions, said. They also had some engineers create a slime stuff that was the hit of the party. Joining McCain Ambassadors was an option for any student, regardless of their major, Emily Simpson, sophomore in music education, said. Participants had a variety of reasons for becomming McCain Ambassadors. With trying to dual major in industrial and pre-law, I don ' t have the time to be in the theater in college, but I still wanted to be involved and help out, Lakin said. mccain ambassadors 231 TEACHERS OF TOMORROW Front Row: Larry Meyer, David Schmale, Kevin Falk, Jill Pruitt.

(Photo by Darren Whitley) A common heritage brought members of African Student Union and Black Student Union together Feb. 21 for Uniting Our Roots, a panel discussion that was part of Black History Month. Uniting Our Roots was organized to create and interaction between the groups. The panel consisted of three members from each club. Culturally, we are close together, but there is a gap between the two organizations, Siendou Ouattara, ASU president and graduate student in electrical engineering, said. I don ' t know what they think the African culture is. It ' s always refreshing to check what you ' re thinking with someone who is actually fresh from there. It ' s better than reading it in a book. Although the groups were united by their African heritage and skin color, lines of communication were closed, Ouattara said. The discussion focused on opening dialogue between BSU and ASU. Panel members said a relationship between both sides was important even though the need for it had not been expressed before. We have a lot in common, but we need to unite to become a strong voice for the black community, Rhonda Lee, BSU panel member and sophomore in journalism and mass communications, said. The discussion closed with a presentation of resolutions to foster communication between the groups. Everything starts with talking, Ouattara said.

Half the cast were graduate students who knew each other well. (Photo by Mark Leffingwell) Members of KSU Theatre sacrificed spare time out of their love for the stage. I ' ve been in a show ever since I ' ve been here at KSU, Gretchen Morgan, senior in theater, said. It ' s very strange when I ' m not in one because I don ' t know what to do with myself. Being involved in the group sometimes meant giving up time for studying. It is difficult to prioritize things because theater is a huge time commitment, Tim Aumiller, student in theater, said. We rehearse five nights a week and approximately three hours a night. The group performed the drama Speed the Plow in October, the musical Chicago in November, the comedy The Heidi Chronicles in February and the opera Street Scene in March. Performers were undergraduate or graduate students, Marci Maullar, managing director of KSU Theatre, said. The Heidi Chronicles, Feb. 16-18 and Feb. 22-25, was about a woman growing up in the Baby Boomer era. We learned a lot from the show because we ' re not Baby Boomers, Aumiller said. The directors had to educate us every night about things in the play because there is a lot of name dropping in the story, like with bands, artists and cultural icons. Performing as three different characters made The Heidi Chronicles a challenge for Morgan. It was a very good experience for my acting education, she said. They were roles I ' d never played before because, I guess because of my I always get cast as the ' little girl next door. ' Aumiller said half the performers in The Heidi Chronicles were graduate students.

Now we ' ve all been here awhile, and there is a more professional atmosphere. Laura Camien, who played Heidi Holland ' s best friend, Susan Johnston, said competition was intense among those auditioning for roles. It is pretty competitive, especially since our auditions are open to the entire University, Camien, graduate student in theater, said. We have people who aren ' t theater majors even trying out for parts. Before the opening of each show, the cast had a weekend of extra preparation. We have rituals, especially during tech the weekend before we open, when we set up the lighting and technical things, Aumiller said. We also have a cue-to-cue practice, where we go through the speaking and non-speaking cues. With so many theater majors together, there were always crazy things happening, Camien said. The exciting part about the theater is that there is always something strange that happens every night in practice, she said. That ' s what it ' s like with live theater — it ' s unpredictable. ksu theatre 237 Senior Troy Gilmore, president of the Forest and Park Resource Management Club, passes out brochures about the Sunset Zoo.

About 15 members loaded into vans and drove 12 hours to the Land Between the Lakes in Tennessee for the National Outdoor Recreation Consortium. The purpose of the consortium was to show students the environmental aspects of the p ark and how the park was run, Troy Gilmore, club president and senior in park resources management, said. It was structured much like classes, and they taught us about the different successes and problems they had had, Gilmore said. Members attending the consortium enrolled in a forestry course and received three credit hours for the work they did. Students participated in activities such as wading into a stream to study ecosystems and canoeing up the stream into a beaver marsh area. In addition to attending the consortium, had biweekly meetings and listened to guests speak about a variety of subjects. Carol Laue, senior in park resources agreed that having the speakers was a good way to open doors for members because the speakers were from a variety of fields. It is really good because it gives us ideas about the different things we can do after graduation, Laue said. It is a good way to make contacts toward career opportunities and especially internships. 238 forest and park management VIETNAMESE STUDENT ASSOCIATION Front Row: David Surowski, Tuy Vo, Thomas Pham, Kevin Le, Hanh Nguyen, Daniel Hoang, Luis Rodriguez.

Besides teaching mathematics, Homolka umpired college baseball full time during the spring semester while working on his doctorate in educational development at the Manhattan campus. It was a second chance for Homolka to be involved in the professional ra nks. He was offered a contract for the major leagues while playing baseball at the University of Northern Iowa from 1961 to 1964. A number of situations, including marriage and injury, prevented him from playing in the majors. I didn ' t give that opportunity a chance, Homolka said. I ' ve been looking for a replacement. He found that replacement through umpiring. He won the 1994 National Baseball Congress ' Umpire of the Year award and was selected to officiate at the 1995 College World Series. But baseball wasn ' t his only passion. He also found enjoyment through teaching. Any way I can help — in the rules of calculus, or in the rules of baseball — then I ' ve helped to make a better person, he said. Holmolka found similarity between the and the ballfield. It ' s kind of like teaching , he said. You have to be a leader if you ' re an umpire. Homolka said his biggest moment in umpiring was when he was asked to officiate at Wrigley Field during the umpires strike in 1991, but the strike was called off while he was driving to Chicago. I look back on that as a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, he said. Homolka also enjoyed the company of his three sons, Eric, Scott and Bobby, who were in their early 20s. They have been supportive of me and a big part of my life, he said. Despite his family ' s support, Homolka faced challenges on his own. You don ' t accomplish every goal, he said. If you did, those weren ' t high enough. “Any way I can help — in the rules of calculus, or in the rules of baseball — then I ' ve helped to make a better person.” Robert Homolka, professor of mathematics at K-State-Salina homolka 243 With a tough schedule and an inexperienced team, the Cats were STEALING HOPE by Molly Weigel Through a season of struggle, the baseball team showed improvement and gained hope. Youth, inconsistency and the fifth-toughest schedule in the added up to a 13-43 record for the team. We had a very young Coach Mike Clark said. We started a lot of freshmen and sophomores. The Big Eight was strong — mostly juniors and seniors. Of the Wildcats ' 56 games, 30 were against regional teams that were among the top 48 teams in the nation. Clark cited inconsistency as one of the team ' s biggest problems. We just could not get nine consistent innings against quality opponents, he.said. came with the team ' s losses. My year, I didn ' t think we could get any worse, but we did, sophomore first baseman Dave Hendrix said. Junior outfielder Chris Hess was also frustrated with the season ' s outcome. We put in a lot of time and effort, Hess said. We were in the best condition in the and it just didn ' t pay off. One factor in the team ' s lack of success was the freshmen ' s lack of playing experience. They didn ' t know what to expect. They had to learn, junior catcher Chris Bouchard said . new situation brought a new problem. Despite their losing record, Clark said the players had good attitudes and competed hard. The highlight of the season was definitely beating Oklahoma, who went on to win the College World Series, Clark said. Five players were recognized with Big Eight Conference Freshman shortstop Todd Fereday was named to the first team all-Big Eight and was also honored as freshman Other honors went to Hendrix and junior catcher Matt Miller, who made second-team all-Big Eight. Hendrix said the award helped ease the pain of the losing season, but it didn ' t make up for it. I would ' ve traded it (the award) in a second for a winning season, Hendrix said. Senior second baseman Jay Kopriva and Bouchard received all-Big Eight honorable mentions. In addition to conference recognition, several players had individual accomplishments. Fereday had one of the best freshman seasons at the plate in K-State history.

He had 60 hits in 55 games, which placed him second on the team in total hits. Miller, who also was the backup quarterback for the football team, was the leading hitter in total games and Big Eight games. In 24 league games, he hit .330 and had 29 hits. Hendrix hit 12 home runs, which put him second on the single-season home-run chart for K-State. In the team ' s 16-14 win over Oklahoma, he hit three home runs, which tied the Big Eight and K-State records for most home runs in a game. The team set two main goals for the season. One was to be competitive in every ballgame, and the other was to go to the Big Eight Tournament, Clark said. The last three weeks, we played better baseball, Clark said. Twenty-two of our losses by teams scoring enough runs in one inning. Playing better baseball toward the end of the season was not enough. The Cats finished seventh in the conference and did not qualify for the Big Eight Tournament, which took only the top six teams. Clark said the fan supp ort was all right considering the team played only 23 games at Frank Myers Field in Manhattan. We are working on some things with promotions to draw a bigger crowd next year, Clark said. Also, a more competitive ballclub should help.

Bouchard said he was in the amount of support from the crowd. I guess we couldn ' t expect everyone to come out because of the way we were playing, Bouchard said. Coaches and players said they were looking forward to the addition of four schools from Texas to the Big Eight Conference in fall 1996. We are used to playing at that level. We played Texas A M and WSU this year, Clark said. It should be the best baseball in America. Hendrix also looked forward to the challenge of the additional schools. The addition of the Texas schools will increase competition, he said. It will be better for baseball and all sports. Despite disappointments of the season, the team considered the year a learning experience. We learned how not to lose and what we did wrong, Hess said.

We need to improve our short games and work on the mental side of the game to play smart, Coach Mark Elliott, said. The team had some trouble transforming classroom confidence into golf-course confidence. They need to work on their self-confidence, Elliott said. The team had more Big Eight Conference academic than any other Big Eight team as seven out of the 11 team members were honored. One of the team ' s academic all-Americans was senior Jacque Wright. An eye injury prevented Wright from competing during the fall season. Coach Tim Jennings said the loss of Wright hurt the team because she was a strong leader. Wright said the lack of playing time was frustrating. It was really disappointing. I ' ve been kind of bored this she said. I don ' t enjoy not playing. However, she thought her proved beneficial. I thought it was probably good for the team in the long run. A lot of the younger girls got a chance to compete more, Wright said. Jennings said junior Debbie Chrystal served as a quiet leader. Despite Chrystal ' s leadership, the team had trouble dealing with the mental aspect of the game, Jennings and Elliott said. Our goal was to consecutively improve at each tournament, by Brooke Graber Fort Jennings said. We had a couple girls make personal records, but nobody really stood out. Jennings said the team ' s goal was to average 320 during tournament play, but the team fell short of the goal. You have to get over the pressure you put on yourself, Chrystal said. Competition takes a lot out of you. Chrystal said players had a hard time adjusting to the differences high school and In high school, you go out and have fun, Chrystal said. College competition is much more Last year, I finally got over that. I could go out and play consecutively. After five years at Elliott said women ' s golf was improving. When I came to K-State, the women ' s golf team had been last in the Big Eight for the past 14 years, Elliott said. We get more respect now.

Debbie Chrystal, junior in accounting a Texas native branded K-State with her leadership skills. Debbie Chrystal, junior in accounting, grew up in Bellville, Texas, but came to K-State to play for the women ' s golf team. Her decision to attend K-State instead of a Texas school was the right one, she said. The big schools in Texas look at experience, something I didn ' t have much of, she said. Chrystal said she had a difficult time making the adjustment from high-school to college golf competition. Coming out of high school, you ' re used to being the best at what you do. It wasn ' t like I planned to walk in and be the best player, but I expected to do better than I did, she said. Coming back after my freshman year was the hardest thing I have ever done. Chrystal said she learned to deal with the pressures of being a golfer and student. If you take one day at a time, it doesn ' t seem so overwhelming, she said. She became a leader both on and off the golf course during her years at K-State. Chrystal was one of the golf team ' s Big Eight Conference all-American scholars. But her leadership roles grew gradually. When I first came to school here, I just did golf and school. She said she added one activity a year to her schedule, first joining the Delta Delta Delta sorority and then becoming one of 26 College of Business ambassadors. Chrystal said she was confident in her leadership roles. I feel I haven ' t chosen anything I couldn ' t handle. She hoped to leave a mark on the golf team. I hope I can be remembered as someone that was diverse, as someone that was willing to try lots of things to see if I could do it, she said. As far as golf goes, after I leave, I hope my teammates will remember me as trying to make their experience a little easier than when I was a freshman. 252 chrystal chrystal 253 Debbie Chrystal, junior in accounting, said one thing she will miss about her college years is the constant feeling of being busy. Every day you don ' t think about what you have to do, you just go out and do it.

After an exciting 1993 season, the men ' s golf team members looked forward to the 1994 but their expectations weren ' t fulfilled. Coach Mark Elliott said the biggest disappointment was not qualifying for regionals. They take seven teams, and we were number eight, Elliott said. We were right there and just didn ' t play well. During the spring, the team played in five tournaments. No player took a role, which was a problem for the team, Elliott said. It was one of the biggest things, Elliott said. If you get someone who plays well all of the time, it takes the pressure offof the rest of the team, and they play better. Although there were no standouts, Elliott said, the season provided experience for the young team, which lost four players to graduation. During the summer, the team focused on improvement. Everyone worked really hard this summer. As a team, we ' ve made quite a bit of improvement, senior Troy Halterman, said. After a summer of hard work, the team had high hopes for the fall season. The 14-member team had seven returning players. Our best players were and they all expected good things to happen, and it did, Elliott said. We won one tournament. The Illinois State Tournament, Oct. 3-4, was a victory for both the team and Halterman. It was the first one K-State has won in awhile, Halterman said. It was also a highlight for me because I won my first individual collegiate tournament there. The team finished sixth in the Big Eight Conference in the fall. Four players were named to the 1994 Phillips 66 Academic all-Big Eight Honor Roll: senior Sean Robertson, who was named to the list for the third-consecutive year; senior Andy Boettcher; Skip Pankewich; and Pankewich was the only golfer in the conference to earn a 4.0 grade-point average. Academic excellence helped the team to play better golf, Elliott said. The better students they are, the better off the team is, Elliott said. K-State had 11 players named to the academic all-Big Eight. The next-closest school was Oklahoma State with eight. With the disappointment of the season behind them, the team looked forward to the next season would bring. Tallying his score, Scott Hovis his day on the greens at the Kansas Invitational.

(Photo by Mike Welchhans) The pain of a disappointing season forces the players and coaches to seek a SAFETY NET The ability to be among the the best in the country was within the grasp of the women ' s tennis team, but the results from the season were disappointing to both players and coaches. We had the potential to be great and to turn heads, but because of injury and illness, we were denied the chance to live up to our potential, Coach Steve Bietau said. After coming off the best fall season in the history of K-State in 1993, the team was starting to turn heads and open eyes on the national level. Behind the of K-State ' s most dominant player, junior Karina Kuregian, the team was ready to step up to a challenging spring schedule. I felt we had a very strong schedule. As we continue to lift the level of our program, we are looking for more upper-level competition, Bietau said. We are excited to take on the of playing the best teams in the country. The Wildcats opened the by losing to Notre Dame 1-8 but bounced back a week later to capture a victory over Utah that Bietau called the best of the year. After that win, the team began preparing for the Big Eight Conference season. Kuregian made an impressive showing at the Rolex Championships, known as the year ' s toughest tournament. After losing her first match to the tournament ' s No. 3 seed, Kuregian went on to win three straight matches. She then lost a close by Jamie Bradley match in the consolation final to Pascale Piquemal of Mississippi. At that point, illnesses and injuries caught up with the team. First, sophomore Nikki Lagerstrom went down to illness, which forced the team to shuffle for the Coors Light Lady Lobo in New Mexico. The team lost its first two matches against New Mexico and Texas Tech but gained a victory against Weber State on the final day of the The Cats experienced another blow when Kuregian hurt her back. The injury forced her to sit out the remainder of the spring season. When went, so did K-State ' s ranked singles player and one-half of its nationally ranked doubles team.

Without Kuregian, the Cats matched up with Louisiana State in a losing effort, but they came back with an impressive 9-0 win over Creighton. Just when things looked as if they were getting back on track, the bottom fell out, and the Cats lost their next seven matches. When sophomore Alex Thome and freshman Karen Nicholson both became ill, the team was no longer able to fill all match Just before the beginning of Big Eight play, freshman Masha Meidell, one of the team ' s top players, left the team for personal reasons.

The PowerCats Association was the behind-the-scenes weightlifting program that made improvement possible. The association was founded four years ago as a privately funded organization that provided financial for K-State athletics. The program was mandatory for all varsity athletes. PowerCats membership was open to everyone for a fee. Membership costs ranged from $40 to $1,000. The fees provided extra training and facilities for athletes. The from the membership dues and other private donations is what keeps the PowerCats facilities up, said Rod Cole, strength and coordinator. The association provided equipment for the Bud and Marti Newell Complex at the north end of Wagner Field. Many people helped the athletic programs and facilities. Tim Buchanan, assistant strength coach, was in charge of the Olympic-sport programs, which included men ' s and women ' s basketball, volleyball, men ' s and women ' s track, baseball and women ' s tennis. Seven student assistants helped out in the weight room. JeffSmith, former K-State player, was hired to help by Coach Bill Snyder after Smith was injured during the 1992 season. Smith said the best part of the job was being able to work with the athletes. Building relationships with all of the athletes is what I enjoyed, Smith said. K-State coaches also supported the program. We have tremendous support from the coaches, which is good, because without it, it would make ourjobs extremely difficult, Smith said. The coaches push their because they see the such as the prevented he said. The ultimate goal of many players was to gain admittance into the PowerCat Club.

I have to get things settled here before I can worry about myself. I ' ll get to the point where I can have a life again. Jim Moore, volleyball coach a single K-State coffee mug sat on Jim Moore ' s windowsill. It was the only K-State souvenir the new volleyball coach displayed in his office. I don ' t have any K-State memorabilia, Moore said as he pointed to his walls covered with frames of stories and plaques from his previous coaching job at Northern Michigan University, which won the NCAA Division II National Championship in 1993. One of the hardest things for this team is that I came off one of the greatest moments of my life, Moore said. Moore turned Northern Michigan ' s volleyball program around in five years with help from Stacy Metro, new assistant volleyball coach, who had worked with Moore for eight years as a player and colleague. My first year we went 9-23, then 15-18, then when she came here, then 34-4 and then 38-1, he said. I want my players to become better people, not necessarily better players. I hope they didn ' t just learn how to win a national championship. Moore had a successful track record for turning a team around, which he said helped him recruit at There ' s a lot of things that mean success, like winning and putting people in the stands, Moore said. Players aren ' t going to come here because of our reputation. We have to prove to them that it will get better. Moore said he capitalized on several points to convince prospective players that the volleyball program would get better. I can tell them about my track record. We ' re renovating our locker rooms. The players here are great, and we have a real advantage having Stacy here, a national team player as an assistant coach, Moore said. I treat my players the way I wanted to be treated when I was a player. Although he had little time for himself, Moore said he needed to concentrate on volleyball in order to get the program into shape. Life is not volleyball, he said. I have to get things settled here before I can worry about myself. I ' ll get to the point where I can have a life again. 262 moore Moore, volleyball coach, said volleyball took up most of his time.

Another was the swing Moore brought to the team, Kathryn Wylie, senior passer, said. It ' s been working well, and the players have been responding well to their new positions, Wylie said. We practice it all the time and put a lot of hard work into it. It would take the team some time to adjust to the swing but Moore said the team would realize long-term benefits from it. He said he tried to help the team make adjustments to his coaching style through Communication is the key, Moore said. You have to explain why you do the things you do from ... the way you interact with the players. Moore ' s philosophy was to encourage players to be He said he allowed players to be in control ofthe team, but he led by example. No matter what, if coaches expect players to do something, the coach has to do the same, he said. This philosophy was evident in how team goals were set when Moore arrived. DeClerk said Moore allowed the players to set their own goals for the year. We wanted to be the ones to set the goals because we ' re the ones trying to accomplish them, she said. One of those goals was to reach the Big Eight Championships.

That was important we broke the streak, she said. Plus, always puts more emphasis on a game against KU. Wins like the one against KU helped build the team ' s confidence, Moore said. Winning is the only way to build confidence and get performance, he said. I try to create situations for them to win, but they have to make it happen. The team ' s positive attitude helped create winning situations, DeClerk said. It seems like everyone was here to play volleyball, and they were ready to play, she said. The team ended the season with a 0-3 loss to the 14th-ranked Colorado Buffaloes. The loss moved the team to a 3-9 record in the Big Eight Conference and a 14-13 record overall. With a winning season behind them, team members faced the challenge of continuing improvement. Recruiting was the team ' s greatest challenge during second semester, Moore said.

The goal this season was for each kid to train and progress individually, because we weren ' t competing as a team, Cliff Rovelto, the team ' s new coach, said. The probation was part of the sanctions against the team for NCAA rules violated by former coach John Capriotti. Although the sanctions prohibited track members from competing as a team, junior Kristen Schultz said the team still felt unified. As far as we were concerned, we were as a team, Schultz said. The track team started the season or bettering times and marks set the previous spring. For its first two meets, which were during spring break, the team traveled to College Station, Texas, for the College Station Relays and Tucson, Ariz., for the Arizona Shootout. In Texas, senior Dante McGrew, senior Nicole Green and Schultz all hit NCAA provisional qualifying marks. McGrew said he knew what it would take to perform well the season. I ' ve been injured a lot in the past, so the key for me was to stay injury free, he said. The team finished the with two first-place finishes and one second-place finish. McGrew and Schultz took first in the javelin, and Green took in the 200 meter. While in Arizona, senior Flanagan won the women ' s shot put with a heave of 45 ' 4-1 4 , and senior Chris Pryor placed second in both the 400 and 200 meters. Junior Jeanene Rugan, coming off a win at Texas, her time to 10:01 in the 3,000 meters, which earned her a second-place finish.

(Photo by Darren Whitley) living, training together made the season for S kristen kristen chultz by trina holmes Family members who played together stayed together. Or at least that ' s the way it was for Kristen and Kirsten Schultz. Competing in many of the same events for the track team, the twins also lived together in a one-bedroom apartment near campus. But they weren ' t always roommates. Referring to Ottawa as the O word, Kirsten, junior in elementary education, said her decision to attend that university her first year of college was a mistake. The twins decided to split up after high school because they wanted to express their individuality, Kristen, junior in radio television, said. When we came out of high school and chose where to go to college, we kind of thought by going separate places we ' d be more of individuals, but then kind of realized that we were individuals to start out with, Kristen said. Kirsten said the twins performed better when they were together and that she was proud of Kristen for getting an all-American in the javelin, which was her favorite event as well. It also helped that they understood each other ' s competitive mindsets, Kristen said. I have a harder time in my running than she does, Kristen said. She ' s always done before me, but if we ' re running 400, she ' ll meet me about the 100 mark and finish it with me so I ' m not running alone, and that helps a lot, Practicing, competing and living together was easy for them, Kirsten said, because their schedules were compatible. It ' s a lot easier because we both have practice, and we ' re both going to the same place, Kirsten said. We have the same schedule mean not as far as classes go, but as far as track and other things. With most of the same friends, Kristen said, the two also spent a lot of their free time together. We go to movies together a lot because we have the same taste in movies, and we want to see the movies that everybody else doesn ' t like usually, Kristen said. We do a lot of things together because we enjoy the same type of things. Kirsten broke in with a smile, and it gives us more to argue about.

(Photo by Darren Whitley) The cross country team found hope in young leaders anc courage in seniors to make it to the FINISH LINE A freshman took the lead for the women ' s cross country team, while the men ' s team struggled through a rebuilding year and several disappointing meets. The season began Sept. 24 with the K-State Invitational, which the teams hadn ' t sponsored since 1986. This first meet got the ball rolling for the girls, Coach Terry Drake said. It gave Charity (Swartz) a lot of confidence in what she can do because of the success she had in the meet. Drake said he thought the invitational was a good opening meet and an opportunity to see if Warner Park, also the site for the Big Eight Championships, would be successful. Swartz, a freshman, placed third and was the team ' s top finisher in the meet. She was also the only team member competing in the NCAA Championships at the University of Arkansas Nov. 21. She finished in 50th place. I thought that how she did was unbelievable. In the of the race, she didn ' t get out as fast as I would have liked, Drake said. At one kilometer, she was only beating 30 people, and she had to pass 100 people to finish in 50th place. Drake said he was impressed with Swartz ' s season, especially since she was a freshman. When you start breaking it down and looking at it, she had a great season, Drake said. She was the seventh-best freshman in the nation. Swartz said it took a while for her to get used to competing at the collegiate level. by Ashley Schmidt I used to be in the front all the time, and now I ' m a runner, Swartz said. I ' m not competing for first or second anymore. It takes a lot of pressure off of me. A strong finish in the Big Eight Oct. 29 in Manhattan, was one of Drake ' s season highlights. I thought how we got third in the Big Eight and where we had to run to get third were impressive, Drake said. We moved into national rankings after the Big Eight. Senior Irma Betancourt said she performed her best during the Big Eight Championships. Last year, I just ran in three competitions because I hurt my back, so I couldn ' t go to the Big Eight meet, Betan-court said. This year was much better because I could go to the Big Eight.

After Jeanene got hurt, we were in big trouble, Drake said. We did the best we could in that adverse situation without Jeanene. While the women ' s team struggled with injury, the men ' s team was challenged by its youth. With only one returning runner, the men considered their season a rebuilding period. Our team is really looking forward to next year, junior Geoff Delahanty said. We ' ve got good guys, and we should be nationally ranked. Drake said his goal for the men ' s team was to finish in the top six of the Big Eight Championships. The team almost met that goal with a seventh-place finish. We fell a bit short of what I was hoping to accomplish. I was a bit disappointed in the season, but how well Billy (Wuggazer) ran made up for the whole deal, Drake said. Billy ' s performance at Arkansas (during national competition) was good. He ran 24th in one of the best fields in the country. He ran his best times and one of the best times ever for K-State in a field of quality runners. The NCAA District V Championships hosted by Southwest Missouri State Nov. 12 in Mo., proved to be best performance of the season, as he placed 12th. I felt that it was my best race, time-wise and competitive-wise, he said. This year, my running was better because of my summer training, and also I was more and had more motivation. The Big Eight Championships proved to be a disappointment for Wuggazer. Suffering from side cramps during the race, he 38th behind teammates Delahanty, who placed 30th, and freshman Mikkel Bjergso, who placed 36th. Competition among the Big Eight teams was unbelievable, Drake said. The team who got second in the nation (the University of got third place in the Big Eight. With this great we ' ve got our work cut out for us, Drake said. To me, it ' s exciting to coach in what I think is the best conference in the U.S. cross country 277 leading the team and breaking records came naturally for J.J.Smith by jenni stiverson he knew nothing of K-State football while growing up in Kansas City, Mo. But by the time J.J. Smith left the football program in December, he could list some of the most impressive Wildcat records — his own. As a freshman and sophomore playing behind Eric Gallon, he accumulated just 389 yards and two touchdowns. By the 1993 season, Smith had gained honorable-mention all-Big Eight Conference honors and was the only Big Eight player to have more than 700 rushing yards, with 748, and more than 200 receiving yards, with 247. During the Copper Bowl, Smith helped propel the Wildcats to victory by breaking the bowl rushing record with 133 yards. Entering his last season, Smith was 1,045 yards short of the K-State rushing title. I set breaking the record as my goal, he said. Everybody was really pulling for it. On Nov. 26, the 6-foot, 205-pound running back made his mark. Entering the game, he was 200 yards from the all-time K-State rushing record. He ran the ball 227 yards against the University of Nevada-Las Vegas, which earned him the all-time rushing-leader title and set a school record for single-game rushing. His performance also put his season rushing total at 1,073 yards, the third-highest in school history. During the game, Smith also rushed for two touchdowns, which put his career total at 22, another school record. Although he ended his Wildcat career as the all-time rushing record holder, Smith wasn ' t completely satisfied with his playing days. We never beat Nebraska, he said. I thought we would beat them this year. Though the season ended with a disappointing loss to Boston College in the Aloha Bowl, Smith, rated the No. 6 running back the NFL draft report, looked ahead. I hope to play in the NFL, he said. That ' s my dream. I set breaking the as my goal. Everybody was really pulling for me. j.j.

(Photo by Mark Leffingwell) Following one of the best football seasons in K-State history, the Wildcats faced tough END-ZONE BATTLES Champions. The title, bestowed on the Wildcat football team after a in the 1993 Copper Bowl, seemed to hold the promise of another successful season. The Cats had the talent and the energy. They had the home-field advantage against teams like And at home, the Cats began the season undefeated in their previous 13 games. During the opening games at home, the Cats faced three non-conference teams, Southwestern Louisiana, Rice and Minnesota. Though they struggled against Rice, the Cats ended the home stand with a 3-0 record and a defense that stunned Minnesota 35-0. The shutout was the Cats ' first since a 10-0 win over State in 1992. Our players know they played well. That ' s what ' s important, to get off the field and know that you played well, Coach Bill Snyder said after the Minnesota defeat. They played awfully well. K-State continued its winning ways with a victory against the Kansas Jayhawks in Lawrence. It was the first time the Cats had beaten the Jayhawks in Memorial Stadium since 1969. With the stadium packed to capacity, the Cat defense held the Jayhawks scoreless for three quarters, and the offense posted 21 points en route to a 21-13 victory. The fall of the streak, as well as one of the KU goal posts, gave about 7,000 Cat fans reason to celebrate as the team stole the by the Royal Purple staff Sunflower State rivalry bragging rights from the Jayhawks during the nationally televised event. We took control and got things going. We just kept pounding and pounding them, J.J. Smith, senior running back, said. This one gives us a lot of confidence, and it ' s a good springboard into the game. With a ranked 22nd in the nation and an offense that was growing with senior quarterback Chad May ' s passing, the Cats prepared to take on Big Eight Conference rival Nebraska. Nebraska was facing in Manhattan, where the Cats had not lost in 16 consecutive games. Add to that the absence of Cornhusker starting quarterback Tommy Frazier, and the No. 16 Cats were in position to beat the No. 2 team in the nation.

(Photo by Mark Leffingwell) END-ZONE BATTLES (Continued from page 281) With momentum on K-State ' s side, the game was played before a sold-out crowd in KSU Stadium. Played in a steady rain, the game began with an intensity that never let up. Nebraska scored first and took a 7-0 lead late in the first quarter, but K-State came back to within a point, 7-6, in the second quarter. The Cat defense held Nebraska scoreless through the third quarter, but the Cornhuskers finally broke through and posted 10 points in the fourth. The K-State offense, which had proven strong in four games, sputtered, and the Cats lost 17-6. Our team put a great deal of emphasis on this game, Snyder said. I thought we were capable of winning, and so did our players. We made a great investment in emotion, work and attitude. It just didn ' t pay off. May agreed. We went into this game with a lot of confidence and expected to win, he said. But the Cats had a week to regroup and prepare for yet unbeaten team, Colorado, which was ranked No. 2 in the nation. Colorado had played and five ranked teams. The Buffaloes were also seeking for a 16-16 tie in the 1993 contest. Played in Boulder, Colo., it was the third-consecutive game in which K-State had received national TV coverage. The Cats controlled the ball first and drove 75 yards for a Smith touchdown. The Cats had struck first, and the offense appeared to be rising out of the doldrums from the previous week. The Cat which had been on fire the past few games, allowed two scoring drives in the first quarter, and the Cats fell behind 7-14. The score held until the third quarter, when the Cats had two scoring drives, which resulted in 14 points. With and a injury to May stopping the Cats ' and the rushing of overcoming the Cats ' K-State suffered its loss, 35-21. It ' s extremely frustrating, Snyder said. I think our kids played hard, but our kids play hard. That ' s a given. Our football team realizes that if we play well, we can play anybody, anywhere, anytime.

(Photo by Steve Hebert) END-ZONE BATTLES (Continued from page 283) The Cats proved Snyder right when they faced the Oklahoma Sooners in Norman the following week. The Cats had not won in Norman since the 1970 season and had not beaten the Sooners in back-to-back seasons since the 1969 and 1970 seasons. With those factors facing them, the Cats stumbled through the first half. At halftime, with a score of 7-3, the offense had minus two yards rushing, and May had only 47 yards on seven passes. But while the offense was struggling, the defense, which had saved many previous games, came on strong. It was the defense that held the Sooners to just one field goal, and the defense, specifically junior cornerback Gordon Brown, that recovered a blocked punt and scored from 16 yards out. With the defensive effort in the first half, the offense was given time to jump-start its lifeless In the second half, the team racked up 256 yards rushing, 113 of which went to Smith. May ended the game with 115 yards passing, and the team was able to leave with its fifth-ever win in Norman, 37-20. In the following weeks, the Cats played Iowa State, Missouri and Oklahoma State to close out the Big Eight schedule and Vegas to close out the season. In those final games, the Cats, who had a 5-2 record, committed mental mistakes that made for tense moments. In the Iow a State game, with the Cats up 38-0, the Cyclones slowly began a comeback by scoring 20 points in the fourth quarter. The K-State defense then buckled down and held out until the final seconds ticked away. Missouri proved more difficult to defeat.

There was a lot of emotion out there with a lot of guys, Leon Edwards, senior running back, said. We all love each other like brothers. Mike Ekeler, senior linebacker, agreed. This has been the best four years of my life. I have played for the best coaches in the country, and I ' m just living out a fantasy, Ekeler said. I ' ve had a blast. I love the fans, I love my teammates — they ' re the best. Laird Veatch, senior linebacker, was just as emotional. I had a really hard time going out there without tears in my eyes. It was a lot of fun, and it was something I ' ll never forget until the day I die. With about 32,000 cheering fans standing in the rain, the team piled up 408 yards and a 23-6 victory to mark the fifth-straight win over the Oklahoma State Cowboys. With the OSU game ' s the season total exceeded 225,000, a new K-State record, also, the win marked the first time K-State had won five Big Eight games for the first time since 1970. At 8-2, it was the first time in school history that the football team had won eight games in back-to-back seasons. Next up for the Cats was the Nevada-Las Vegas game, in which the team rolled over the Runnin ' Rebels 42-3. Highlighting the game was Smith, who broke the K-State career rushing record with 2,210 yards and became the single-game rushing leader with 227 yards. Smith placed third as a single season rushing leader. With a 9-2 overall record, and its only losses to the No. 2 and No. 5 teams in the nation, K-State was hoping for a Coalition Bowl Snyder said. Instead, the Cats spent Christmas in Hawaii, where they faced Boston College in the Jeep Eagle Aloha Bowl on Christmas Day. The game marked the first time a K-State football team had gone to consecutive bowls, and a win would solidify their in the polls. On game day, the K-State defense lived up to its No. 7 ranking in the CNN Coaches Poll, and held Boston College to only 12 points. But it was the Eagle defense that sacked May eight times for 78 yards. K-State ' s only scoring came when sophomore cornerback Joe Gordon blocked a punt in the second quarter and senior free safety Chris Sublette, senior strong safety, recovered it in the end zone for a touchdown. But Boston College prevailed 12-7. The Cats ended the season with a 9-3 record, a top 10 ranking and history-making performances. But eluding them was the title.

Quarterback Chad May was sacked eight times by Boston College, and the K-State offense was shutout in the Dec. 25 Jeep Eagle Aloha Bowl loss in Honolulu. May never could solve the mystery of the Boston College blitz and was limited to 185 yards passing. The Eagles also hurt the Cats by picking off two passes. Chad didn ' t throw the ball well, Coach Bill Snyder said. I knew that; he knows that; and fans knew that. Boston College wasted no time in putting its score on the board. On the team ' s first play from scrimmage, running back David Green ran 51 yards, putting the ball on the K-State 22-yar d line. Green ' s teammate Justice Smith finally punched the ball into the end zone from two yards out. After the extra point by David Gordon, Boston College had a lead of 7-0. Sophomore cornerback Joe Gordon created the Wildcats ' only score of the afternoon by blocking a punt by Jeff Beckley. Senior back-up free safety Chris Sublette scooped up the loose ball, tying the score 7-7. We prepared for that play all week, and it just opened up for me, Gordon said. Gordon was honored as K-State ' s most valuable player at the end of game. His performance included three tackles, an interception and two broken-up passes. Overall, I thought our defense played well, Snyder said. Besides the first drive, the K-State defense limited Boston College to 239 yards of total offense. I was proud of the way our defense played today, senior linebacker Laird Veatch said. They came at us with a few different formations than we thought, but I think we played pretty tough and made the right adjustments. It was Boston College ' s pressure on May that added two more points. Mike Mamula sat May down in his own end zone for a safety with 2:37 left in the first half. The play gave Boston College a lead at halftime. The score remained 9-7 until David Gordon ' s field goal in the fourth quarter boosted Boston College ' s lead to 12-7. Penalties may have killed the Cats as much as the Boston College defense. K-State had 9 infractions, which cost them 56 total yards. A holding penalty cost the Cats a 53-yard run by J.J. Smith in the third quarter. The play would have given K-State the ball on the Boston College 21-yard line and a first down. Instead, K-State ' s next play started from its own 15-yard line. They had a chance to finish in the top five or 10, and we wanted to win. It just wasn ' t our day, Snyder said. Our younger players are going to have to live with this for a year, and it ' s going to be tough. I believe that it will make them work even harder.

For Brundige, self-confidence ranked as the greatest challenge to overcome. I ' m a very average athlete – average height, average weight, average speed, strength, said Brundige, senior in art education, who walked on the tennis team as a junior after not playing for two years. I ' ve never really had any advantages over my opponents except desire. At first, Brundige said she didn ' t care whether she won or lost. I just kept saying to myself, ' You ' re playing tennis for a Division I school. That ' s huge! ' Brundige said. During her first couple of months on the team, Brundige said, her confidence was shattered, and she felt as if she couldn ' t win a single match. A major turning point came when a good friend kept drilling into my head that I just had to believe in myself, Brundige said. Walking on to the tennis team was one of the best decisions Brundige ever made, she said.

We badgered every female we knew to see if she wanted to play lacrosse, Mott said. While waiting to become a club sport, the team focused on learning the game. Mott said the same fever that had begun with her had spread to others. I ' m really excited for the team because I see excitement in the other players, Mott said. Other people have the lacrosse bug. 296 amy mott setting a trend by prudence siebert to play lacrosse, Amy Mott helped begin the women ' s lacrosse team.

His determination and on- and off-field antics, caught the attention of coaches, players and fans.

Ekeler thought his state championship Blair, Neb., high school football team was the last team he would ever play on. But Ekeler decided to give it a shot. When he arrived at K-State as a walk--on, Ekeler was told there was no position for him. He went out to his car, but something, he said, made him go back into the football offices. Ekeler ' s determination and work paid off. In 1994, Ekeler received the Paul Coffman Award for outstanding leadership, attitude and improvement. And in his final year, he was named the Cats ' outstanding special teams player. Ekeler ' s attitude on the field was not the only thing that got the fans ' attention. He was also known for his on- and off-field antics. Ekeler ' s pre-game rituals drew fans ' attention. Besides painting his face black, Ekeler said, he liked to listen to Bill Murray before games. Bill Murray is my idol, and ' Caddy-shack ' is my bible, Ekeler said. Despite the success and fun he had as a Wildcat, Ekeler said he worked on not dwelling on the past. When I ' m done, I ' m done, and I ' ll just have a lot of fond memories and great experiences, he said. mike ekeler 299 a plateau by jamie bush As a player, Stacy Metro, assistant volleyball coach, achieved her goals by becoming a three-time, first-team all-American.

I like to say always reach for the top, Metro said. That way, if you fall a bit, you will still be happy. Metro reached the top in January when she was named Athlete of the Year for Division II by NCAA athletic directors and administrators. From the start, the 6-foot-1-inch setter knew where she wanted to be. Metro began playing volleyball her sophomore year at Mayfair High School in Calif. After a slow start, Metro played better and she decided to try playing at the collegiate level. Trans ferring from the University of Colorado to Northern Michigan after one Metro became a three-time, first-team all-American and later went on to become the fourth player in NCAA history to win AVCA Tachikara Division II Player of the Year honors in 1992 and 1993. After Metro ' s graduation, Jim Moore, the Wildcats ' new volleyball coach, offered a chance to coach. I wanted to build something here and get it great because I like building things and starting from ground zero and going up and saying ' We did this. ' stacy metro 301 Hatcher knew the meaning of the word adversity. After being the sixth-leading scorer in Indianapolis high school history, Hatcher, 6-foot junior point guard, attended San Diego Junior College. After walking on the team, Hatcher had a strong freshman year and received a scholarship. But, while playing a pick-up game, Hatcher sustained a serious injury to his knee. Two surgeries later, Hatcher ' s career looked to be over, but he refused to give up. I was determined to play again, no matter what anybody else said. I did a lot of rehabbing on my own, and it slowly started to pay off, he said. Hatcher transferred to Grayson County Community College in Texas where he averaged 19.8 points per game his sophomore year, and offers from Division I schools began rolling in. He chose K-State for several reasons. Manhattan doesn ' t have the city life that I ' m used to, Hatcher said. But it was the closest to my mother in Indianapolis. The people are pretty nice here, too. Hatcher made his mark as he averaged 15 points per game to lead the Cats in scoring. But he said it didn ' t matter whether he was remembered for his basketball skills. How people remember me just isn ' t that important, he said. As long as I know that I ' ve been a good person, I ' ll be happy. 302 elliot hatcher road of adversity by debo adjunmobi After transferring to K-State, junior point guard Elliot Hatcher overcame adversity to play basketball.

We have really good right now, Brian Agler, women ' s basketball coach, said. We ' re improving. The Cats began the season with four players who had starting experience. Even with that kind of leadership, the team was still young, Agler said. I see our total program some strides, Agler said. We ' re playing a lot of young people—we ' re starting two and two sophomores. of that youth, you ' re going to see improvements. One starter was freshman wing Brit Jacobson, who stepped to help the team come Agler said. Brit gives us somebody who ' s athletic and has the potential to score about any time, he said. She ' s made some big plays on both offense and defense. Returning were two seniors — post Shanele Stires and wing Shawnda DeCamp, who for more than 55 percent of the points in 1993-94. But the team lost DeCamp, the 1994 Big Eight Newcomer of the Year, when she quit Jan. 26 for personal reas ons. Agler said losing DeCamp did not set the team back. Obviously she was a talented player, but sometimes the most important thing is chemistry, Agler said. I feel like as a team, we ' re executing, and we are playing better defense and playing together a lot better than we were beforehand. Without DeCamp, the role fell to Stires. We relied on Shanele in every aspect, from scoring to leadership, Jacobson said. We looked up to her because she was the only senior on the team. Stires ' helped the team get through a tough early and then pull together as a team toward the end. Early i n the season, the Cats traveled to Washington, D.C., for the George Invitational Dec. 9-10. Going into the tournament, the Cats had a 4-1 record. It was the best start for the team since the 1983-84 season. At the invitational, the Cats lost 60-55 to Arkansas State in the first round. The team rebounded from the loss to beat the District of Columbia George Washington 83-46 in the second round.

After wins against Nebraska and Iowa State, the Cats went on a five-game losing streak, which included losses to ranked teams such as the University of Kansas. In Lawrence Jan. 15, fouls hurt the Cats early, and the No. Jayhawks won 72-63. The losing streak ended when the Cats beat Nebraska and Iowa State again, but this time both games were in Bramlage Coliseum. After the wins, the Cats faced No. 15-ranked KU Feb. 12. Stires controlled the game by scoring 31 points in leading the team to an 80-73 win. The victory broke the Cats ' seven-game losing streak to KU. The KU game was a high- light, sophomore wing Missy Decker said. We played well and ended some of those streaks against them. The Cats then faced road games against OU Feb. 17 and OSU Feb. 19. The Cats lost to OU but defeated OSU 57-56. The OSU game marked the first time since 1985 that the Cats had won in Stillwater. The last game of the season was against Colorado, the No. 3 team in the country. The Cats played the Buffaloes close to the buzzer, when Stires had a last-second three-point attempt. The shot went in and out, and the Cats lost the game 74-77. The Colorado game was a disappointment, and some of the other games we could have won, Stires said. We have a young team, and those games, will help in the future. K-State players were recognized in the conference for their efforts throughout the season, Stires was named to the first team all-Big Eight, and Jacobson was given honorable mention. The team ended 14-12 overall and 6-8 in the conference. The players worked throughout the season to be competitive in the conference, Stires said. We had pressure to live up to the history of the program, she said. The program has a good tradition, and we look at that. We had pressure to live up to the history of the program.

As the only senior on the women ' s basketball team, Stires, senior in social science, spent her final season as the team ' s primary leader. It ' s tough to deal with everything at times, like when you have a coach hanging over your head or something like that, Stires said. You just have to keep it in perspective. Stires said she didn ' t shy away from the pressure of leadership. A lot of responsibility has been placed upon me to lead and be composed, she said. I think I feel the pressure, but I don ' t fold up under it. I thrive in pressure situations. In a more laidback situation, I have less impact. The highlight of Stires ' season was the victory over the University of Kansas, a game she said put a lot of pressure on her. We broke a seven-game losing streak to them and a five-game streak since I ' ve been here myself, she said. Not only were they KU, but they were a nationally ranked team. Stires said she didn ' t take the efforts of her team members for granted. When I came here, the program was in a terrible state of disarray and disorder, Stires said. After all the hard work, the team still deserves more than what they got. An important part of being a leader was helping boost team morale, she said. Times get tough, and sometimes we think everything is so bad, she said. We don ' t realize how lucky we are to have our school paid for by playing basketball. I try to remind everybody that things aren ' t as bad as they may seem. Stires said she also reminded herself how fortunate she was for being able to play college basketball. Since I ' m on my way out, it is sentimental to me to cherish these last moments, she said. I ' ve been very fortunate to be able to play Division I basketball. It had always been a dream of mine. A lot of responsibiliy has been placed upon me to lead and be composed. I think I feel the pressure, but I don ' t fold up under it.

The Wildcats lost 78-67. (Photo by Darren Whitley) Led by a new coach, the men ' s team began season with a JUMP START by R.J. Diepenbrock A new era was dawning for the men ' s basketball team. After struggling through six seasons, the Wildcats were led by Coach Tom Asbury. Asbury came with an record from 15 years at Pepperdine, in Malibu, Calif. Three NCAA Tournament and a 125-59 overall record in the West Coast gave him the fourth-highest winning percentage, .786, in the history of the conference. An off-year would be he said of the Waves ' Last year, we were second and got to the NCAA and almost beat Michigan. That ' s a bad year. Asbury faced new challenges at K-State. With graduation taking four of the team ' s top players, he began working with seven players and five recruits. Senior forward Belvis Noland and senior guard Demond Davis took leadership ro les. Junior Tyrone Davis, who filled in the center position left vacant by Deryl Cunningham, led the team late in the season in scoring against some of the toughest competitors. Besides the senior leaders, freshman guard forward Mark Young started 14 consecutive games. guard Elliot Hatcher and Tyrone Davis also made important to the team throughout the season, Asbury said. Tyrone is just getting better and better. He is gaining more confidence, and he knows he can score, Asbury said. The better he gets, the more confidence the guys have to get it (the ball) down to him. Leadership on the court fell into the hands of Hatcher, who led the Cats in scoring and rebounding in at least six games during the season. The Cats, who were picked to finish seventh in the Big Eight Conference, began the with their first-ever preseason National Invitation Tournament. But the first game was against No. 18 Alabama Nov. 16 in and the Cats lost the opener 79-48. Against Illinois Dec. 5, the Cats fell behind early, but came back and were down by only nine at But, in the end, the team was handed its second loss of the season, 76-69. Initially, we played pretty hard, Asbury said. Their last shot almost went in, but after that, we felt a lot better in overtime. The Lord gave us an extra five minutes to get it done. As the season continued, so did the team ' s inconsistency. At the Capital City Classic holiday tournament Dec. 22-23 in Tallahassee, Fla., the Cats defeated (Continued on page 312) sophomore center Kevin Lewis mauls Oklahoma junior guard Ernie Amber Crombie.

Hatcher had 32 points to lead all scorers in the 78-75 victory. But even with a championship under their belts, the Cats were still young and inexperienced. In the Big Eight home opener against Oklahoma State Jan. 7, the happened. The Cats the game from start to even though senior center Bryant Reeves, OSU ' s tallest player at 7 feet, scored 23 points and pulled down 16 rebounds. The Cats were led by Hatcher, who scored 23 points, and Noland, who had 21, to a 74-66 victory. We came back to play after Tuesday ' s game (a loss to Wichita State), Asbury said. We knew that Bryant Reeves is very to defend, and we knew that Randy Rutherford was a great shooter. We were active and alert, we got loose balls, and we really wanted to play. Junior center George Hill said the key to stopping Reeves, also known as Big Country, was not letting him get the ball. I just had to hold my own. Big Country ' s going to get his, Hill said. You just have to stop him from getting it all the time and having a great, great night. he had an average night. Lack of experience and poise continued to plague the Cats in the Jan. 21 game against Iowa State. The major difference in that game was experience, Asbury said. They made the big plays when they had to, and we didn ' t. The experience was a factor in that game, and it showed through. The Cats lost the game 79-73 in Manhattan. Bouncing back from a losing streak, the Cats upset No. 25 Oklahoma 87-77 Jan. 25 in Bramlage Coliseum. Tyrone Davis led all scorers with a career-high 26 points against OU. He was 10-12 from the freethrow line and had six rebounds. This win helps out a lot, he said. It helps us get our frustrations out and helps our confidence. On the road against Colorado Feb. 11, Demond Davis suffered an ankle injury, and the Cats lost 82-68.

With Davis, their best and overall defensive player, out with an injury, the Cats had to re group and prepare for the No. 3 team in the nation, KU, Feb. 18. The Cats also had to overcome an 11-game losing streak to the Jayhawks in Bramlage. We scrapped and rebounded a little bit, Asbury said. We started making shots and got the crowd into it. With the score 59-58 in KU ' s favor at the 8:54 mark, the crowd of 13,517 was standing and stomping their feet. But, in the final minutes, KU put the game away. Hatcher, who scored 18 points and had a career-high seven rebounds, led the Cats in the 78-67 loss. Although the game was close, the absence of Demond Davis was apparent. K-State was 44-36 but managed to hold KU seven points below its average. We didn ' t score, Asbury said. We had to get the lid off the basket. We had pretty good shots. In the second-to-last game of the season, the Cats faced March 1 in Bramlage. With a six-game losing streak, the team knew a win would be important. The battle began with Noland scoring the team ' s first 13 points, giving the Cats a 13-10 lead. came back and led at 37-34, even though Noland had 20 points. The second half was a different story. Noland continued his hot shooting, finishing with a 31 points, but received help from Hatcher and Davis. When Noland ' s played well, we ' ve played well, Asbury said. It ' s nice to win. Noland said it was just one of those nights. I just had one of those games where everything went down for me, he said. I came out and played hard. The Cats finished the season against Colorado March 4 at home. The game was close in the first half, but Colorado came back in the second half to beat the Cats 51-70. With the loss, the Cats dropped to 3-11 in the Big Eight and 12-14 overall. Asbury said the game was a bad end to the season. I wasn ' t upset about the way we played, he said. I was upset that we went out the way we did at our last home game. Making his point, Coach Tom Asbury yells at an official during the Nebraska game Jan. 12. The Cats lost to the Cornhuskers 78-56.

I ' ve always liked the Big Eight. They have some of the best facilities, and the best interests and the best coaches in the country, Asbury said. (Photo by Darren era of competitiveness in the making for the cats and atomsbury by r.j. diepenbrock men ' s basketball coach Tom Asbury brought his brand of competitive coaching from the California coast to the Kansas plains. (I ' m a) very competitive person. I always had to be around a certain competitiveness in my life, Asbury said. When I was finished playing, my only way to be able to continue that competitiveness would be in athletics, and the easiest way to do so was in coaching. Asbury played basketball at the University of Wyoming. That ' s what led me into coaching. I have to be around competition, he said. Asbury came to K-State after spending 15 years at Pepperdine, in Malibu, Calif , where he compiled four 20-win seasons, the fourth-highest winning percentage in the history of the West Coast Conference, and three NCAA Tournament appearances. Despite his success, Asbury decided to further his coaching career by accepting the job at K-State. By the same token, you ' re only going to be able to get so far at a school like Pepperdine with the resources and facilities and conference affiliation and things like that, he said. You need to be in one of the super conferences or you ' re not going to be playing at the highest level. And, for Asbury, the Big Eight Conference was just the place. I ' ve always liked the Big Eight. They have some of the best facilities, and the best interests and the best coaches in the country. Asbury said becoming a Big Eight coach didn ' t change his goals. My goals are basically to get our team into postseason play every year, he said. We ' re building a new program here. We ' re pretty much starting a brand-new era. Trying to rebuild a program meant seeking the right people, he said. I just want to build a good, sound, solid basketball program where players graduate, and they go to class, and they take care of business, and where we ' ve got really good teams — and we win. And with that comes growing pains. But we ' ll build a sound, solid program, he said. We ' ll make Kansas State proud of the basketball program. My goals are basically to get our team into postseason play every year. We ' re a new program here. We ' re pretty much starting a brand-new era.

With two top competitors out because of injuries, other track team members had the to prove themselves. Injuries are just a part of sports, and they are definitely a part of track and field.

Women ' s indoor track and returning Big Eight Jeanene Rugan, senior runner; Itai Margalit, junior high jumper; and Dante McGrew, senior all-American triple jumper, all suffered injuries that inhibited their competition. Rugan was unable to in indoor competition she ripped a leg muscle at the end of the cross-country season. Samantha McNamara, distance runner, said she thought Rugan ' s absence hurt the team because Rugan was a strong runner and team leader. McNamara said despite the loss of Rugan, the team did well and turned in many personal bests. She said she improved her times in the mile and 1,000-meter run. Karissa Owens, sophomore sprinter, also said she worked all year to improve her times. My toughest thing was my confidence level, she said. Once I got my confidence up, my times started going down. Owens qualified for the NCAA Indoor Championships in the 55-meter dash. Rovelto said confidence was a natural result of training. If you work hard, as you see yourself improving, you get more confidence, he said. Anybody, no matter what you ' re doing, if you set your mind to it, you can go out and do it. What happens is most people need to see before they become motivated. If they train hard, the rest takes care of itself.

There were some really good runners. Wells said she thought the season was cumbersome team members competed almost every weekend following winter break. Owens said she tried to cope with the pressure of a long, competitive season by mentally her races and the number of meets in which she had competed. I count down the weeks, and this helps me tough it out, she said. Wells said she thought injuries like Rugan ' s allowed other to take on leadership roles. I think when people are it ' s really difficult to feel like a part of the team, so I like to tr y to project a team atmosphere, Wells said. Because she (Rugan) was injured, I think it put more pressure on some of the other runners. Sometimes it ' s hard to step up and be a leader. Injuries plagued the men ' s team as well. Margalit sat out of the triple jump during the Big Eight Championships because of an ankle injury. But sitting out proved to be a smart strategy, as he qualified in the high jump for the NCAA Indoor Championships March in Indianapolis. Ed Broxterman, junior high jumper, also qualified for the Championships by winning the Big Eight Championships high jump event, as he cleared 7 feet, 4-1 2 inches. McGrew could not compete in the championship meet because of an ankle injury. McGrew said the injury was disappointing because his eligibility at the end of the indoor track season, and the would have been his last K-State I ' ll miss the daily routine of practice and hanging out with the other runners, McGrew said. I ' ll still compete in open meets, though. Despite the injuries, McGrew said the track program was gaining. I think this year was the best it ' s been since I ' ve been here, he said.

You ' ve got a lot to do in this life, she told Amy Sykes, sophomore in animal sciences and Who you were when you came here is completely different from who you ' ll be when you leave. For $2, Page Getz, freshman in pre-journalism and mass offered palm readings from her room in Goodnow Hall. You can learn from your palms, said Getz, who estimated she had read more than 100 palms in Manhattan. I ' ve only had one person ever tell me I ' m off. Getz posted signs around campus and the community advertising her palm readings for a price that undercut the professional palm-reading charge of $15. I ' m in college, and I figure most people don ' t have much money, she said. Although she used her art to supplement the earnings from her part-time job at Kramer Dining Center, there was a time when Getz needed the money she earned from palm reading. After leaving her home and dropping out of high school at 16, Getz developed her palm-reading skills on the streets and in the parks of her home town, Wichita, as a way of earning extra cash. through an alcohol and drug addiction, Getz began attending Alcoholics Anonymous meetings and started her recovery. It (AA) saved my life. I couldn ' t have kept living the way I was living, she said. I spent a lot of my life feeling like a victim. (With AA), I felt like I had been relieved. The world wasn ' t out to get me. I had a lot more power over my life than I gave myself credit for. Her attitude wasn ' t the only thing that changed when she started attending AA meetings. When I first got sober, almost overnight, my palm changed, she said. It sounds crazy, but it ' s the most amazing thing. What amazed others was Getz ' s palm-reading abilities. I was skeptical at first, but everything was completely right about my past. She didn ' t even know me, Jennifer Bray, junior in kinesiology, said. Everything was totally on the money. Although psychic powers were not a part of palm reading, Getz said, her abilities were spiritually based. Every once in a while, I ' ll get a palm, and I can read everything about that person, she said. It ' s something beyond me, and that ' s when I can tell it ' s a real gift. Getz said she understood the positive effects of palm reading because she had once had a palm reading. She believed she was given her palmistry ability to help in the healing process of her alcohol and drug addiction. I felt such a sense of peace when she was reading my palm, Getz said. If I can give that kind of peace to someone, then I think that ' s really cool. Getz, freshman in and mass communicatio ns, reads the palm of Amy Sykes, sophomore in animal and industry. I thought, ' This is going to be a weird Sykes said. But a lot of them (Getz ' s interpretations) were accurate.

I still question it. I have a lot of doubts about it, Getz said of her art. But sometimes when I do it, it is just amazing.

Last year we sent crayons to children in the Dominican but this year I wanted to do something with a local Lake said. I wanted something more local that we could do one-on-one. Members of Clovia brought the children to their house to make the Christmas decorations. They were really excited, Mary Jones, junior in elementary education, said. When we to pick them up, I think the boys thought only the girls got to go. The boys were excited about going because they had never made gingerbread houses before. Each child was supplied with one milk carton, a piece of frosting, graham crackers and a variety of candies. They got into it as their ideas began to flow, Lake said. The girls also got into it. Annette Lewis, freshman in textiles, said the kids used pretzels and candy canes for fences and aluminum foil for ponds. It lasted over an hour, and the kids kept their attention on the projects, Kate Nelson, junior in elementary education, said. Vicki Terrill, case worker for Big Brothers and Big Sisters, supported the activity. She said the afternoon allowed Clovia to reach out to the children. Activities like this let them do things while they ' re waiting to be matched, Terrill said. I thought it was great to show the kids that there are people who care about them and like them. Working with the children was also beneficial for Clovia Lewis said. I did it to meet the younger kids in the community, she said.

Our goal at Boyd Hall is to make everyone feel at home and comfortable, regardless of their religion or beliefs, Jennifer Cole, hall president and sophomore in biology, said. The first step to accomplish this goal was to amend the hall constitution to include a chairperson. The HGB felt this needed to be done because people should be more aware of other cultures in order to get along with other people in the world, Jennifer Graff, sophomore in agricultural economics, said. People need to know that other cultures exist. Boyd ' s HGB tried to increase multicultural awareness with a lobby bulletin board that was redecorated weekly with posters and information about upcoming events such as Racial Ethnic Harmony Week. I think the board is a really good idea, and I try to look at it when I get a chance, Kellie Symns, sophomore in music, said. I think it is really important for people to learn about other and the other events that are posted on the board. Cole agreed. I see people looking at the board, which is encouraging. It has definitely helped create an awareness for us in HGB, so we can be sensitive toward other people ' s beliefs, Cole said. Boyd also planned activities that would raise awareness about other people ' s religions and beliefs, such as Traditions That Rock the World program. Scheduling the event for the spring semester, the hall planned to have speakers of different backgrounds who would share their countries ' beliefs and explain how their cultures celebrated the season. HGB also asked residents to decorate their doors during the holiday season and donate decorations that reflected their culture or religion for the lobby tree. I think what they are trying to do is great, Kim Desch, freshman in pre-health professions, said, but they are putting too much on it, especially since Boyd doesn ' t have that much of a diversity in its residents. Other agreed that there wasn ' t a need for emphasis because the hall was not very diverse. There isn ' t much diversity, Ramsay, freshman in environmental said, but as for the diversity that does exist, everyone seems to get along pretty well. Our goal at Boyd Hall is to make everyone feel at home and comfortable, regardless of their religion or beliefs.

Originally a hall for athletes, Edwards became a traditional hall in 1980. However, in May, the hall would no longer house residents. It ' s a real unique environment , Mark Wendt, junior in secondary education, said. It ' s diverse with older students and I ' m to be sorry to see it close. Moving was necessary as Pat Bosco, associate vice president for institutional advancement, said, there was a 99-percent chance that Edwards would be converted into office space. It will free up space in the central part of campus for Bosco said. It hasn ' t been determined who will move. Shah Hasan, assistant director of the Department of Housing and Dining Services, said the Edwards Hall staffplanned to conduct a survey to get input from the students about where they wanted to move when Edwards closed. As a member of the Edwards staff, Wendt said he thought the general feeling among residents was disappointment about the closing. If there were a way, we ' d like to keep it open, Wendt said. It ' ll be hard to keep in touch with all the friendships we ' ve made when we ' re scattered across campus. Hasan said the housing wouldn ' t be able to the environment of the hall. Robert Krause, vice president for institutional advancement, said K-State obtained the approval needed from the Kansas Board of Regents to convert the building. Helen Cooper, assistant of planning, said legislative approval was needed to get for maintenance. She said the facility would be used for units. We have a big crunch on office space for faculty as well as graduate students, she said. Tom Rawson, vice president for administration and finance, agreed. Some faculty offices, because of cramped space, have two to three people in an office that, according to Board of Regents standards, should only have one, Rawson said. He said offices could be moved to the outside of campus to free space for teaching and to provide visitor parking. Howard Benson, hall president and senior in animal sciences and industry, said he didn ' t like the thought of Edwards closing. Quite a few of us have been here a while, he said. It ' s like home away from home. Mike Davis, graduate student in history, said residents had the option of moving into parts of Jardine Terrace Apartments or Marlatt Hall. Benson said hall members, many of whom were international students, would try to stay Our program is geared international students, he said. Foreign students adjust in Edwards. There is studying going on here 24 hours a day. Hall staff members were to be moved to the same hall. We don ' t know if they ' ll move us to another Edwards-like or no t, Wendt said. Those options haven ' t been de- cided by housing. It ' ll be hard to keep in touch with all the friendships we ' ve made when we ' re scattered across campus.

Traditionally, the hall was by students as a residenc e for sorority women. Shannon Hobbs, freshman in arts and sciences, said she chose to live in Ford because she had heard it was a sorority dorm. I wanted to live here in order to meet other girls from other houses and to meet girls who were independent, Hobbs said. Ford was not the top choice for some women, however. It was my third choice, but I enrolled later, so I think that ' s why I ' m here, Stephanie Huser, freshman in animal sciences and industry, said. Some members said they couldn ' t tell the difference independents and greeks. There ' s no difference between people who are independent and people who are in houses, Hobbs said. Being in a sorority, there is a stereotype that you ' re supposed to fit. You ' re supposed to be thin and beautiful and stuff like that. Sarah Hearne, freshman in and mass said she was independent because she wanted to escape stereotypes. I am a very individual person, and I didn ' t want to be she said. When people ask me where I live, and I tell them Ford Hall, their next question is not ' are you in a house, ' but ' what house are you in. ' Huser, who was not in a said she thought the hall would be more than it was. She said having women on her floor gave her a chance to meet more people. There are girls in right across the hall from me, Huser said. You get to meet a lot of people through their sorority connections you probably would not have met otherwise.

Posters throughout the hall proclaiming, There will be sex in the lobby of the second floor tonight at 8 o ' clock saw to that. The announcement was to attract attention, although 24 people debating whether a woman should ask a man for a date may not have been the sight participants expected. Sex in the Lobby was a devised by Michael Barker of Humboldt State University in Arcata, Calif , that came to through Robyn Stone, Goodnow ' s New Student adviser and sophomore in kinesiology, after she attended the National Association of College and University Residence Halls conference in Flagstaff, Ariz. The purpose of the program was to open people ' s minds about sex and allow them to discuss it openly and honestly, Stone said. I think it is a great program because it allows people to get together and discuss topics that they normally wouldn ' t talk about, Rodney Baxter, junior in manufacturing systems engineering, said. Goodnow ' s version of Sex in the Lobby began with groups writing slang terms for intercourse to help residents relax so they would talk openly about sex. Participants wrote questions they wanted to ask members of the opposite sex. When the were collected, the men were placed on one side of the lobby with the women on the other. Stone asked them the questions. I thought it was really good that we got to ask questions and receive honest answers about sex and relationships from girls who were neutral on the subject, Rinav Mehta, junior in civil engineering, said. The questions ranged from the personal to the explicit. It was really interesting to find out what guys thought about things, especially the things they normally wouldn ' t discuss around women, Jennifer Keeney, freshman in fisheries and wildlife biology, said. Stone said New Student planned to continue the because it helped freshmen and transfer students bond in the residence-hall setting. It helps them get to know each other and feel more Stone said. We try to gear our programs toward something the whole hall and new students will enjoy. 334 goodnow hall murray Goodnow Hall wischmeyer Murray, Kristin N. Mankato, Minn.

Residents were to sign a contract to respect quiet hours for the floor ' s lobby and hallways. (Photo by Darren Whitley) 336 intensive-study floors Intensive-Study Floors study halls floors provide quiet atmosphere by Ashley Schmidt No blaring music in the No loud conversations in the lobby. It could have been finals week. However, that ' s how it was most of the time on the floors. My freshman year, I got stuck between a person who liked and a person who liked rap, and they both had great stereos, said Matt Vanschenkhof, sixth-floor Marlatt Hall resident and senior in hotel and restaurant management. I didn ' t want that to happen again — so, I moved up to this floor. Most residence halls designated their top floors as intensive-study floors. Residents signed contracts stating they would observe the rules and quiet hours for the lobby and hallways. It ' s a respect thing. If we need quiet time and the neighbors are too loud, we just ask them to turn down the radio. They will since they signed the agreement, said Heather Miller, ninth-floor Ford Hall resident and freshman in business administration. Vanschenkhof agreed residents were cooperative about quiet hours. If you have to tell someone to be quiet, they ' re not going to be a jerk about it, Vanschenkhof said. They realize where they ' re and there ' s going to be a point in time that they ' re going to ask you to turn something down. Heavy class loads, rigorous or simply the need for a quiet atmosphere persuaded students to choose intensive-study floors. I ' ve always been a study-conscious individual. I decided that I needed to get as much done as I could when I was here, said Tom Madison, sixth-floor Marlatt and sophomore in engineering. I didn ' t have as much free time this year because of I knew this would be the best place for me. Intensive-study floors also became home to students who didn ' t request the arrangement. Everybody told me, ' Oh, no. You ' re to be on the study floor. ' They felt sorry for me, said Scott Boden, ninth-floor Haymaker Hall resident and freshman in mechanical Now, I like it because it ' s nice and quiet compared to the other floors. J.R. Miller, ninth-floor Haymaker resident and in engineering, also found to living on an intensive-study floor. I have a good friend who lives in a coed dorm, and they ' re always blasting their stereos, he said. So, when I want to study, this is all right because I can probably get more done here. Regardless of the rules, noisy times weren ' t unheard of. It does get pretty loud on weekends — so, you really don ' t realize it ' s a study floor, Boden said. Still, there ' s not the music pounding through your wall. his television on, Curtis Robertson, freshman in arts and sciences, studies for his first test of the spring semester in his room on the ninth floor of Haymaker Hall.

FR locked doors haymaker policy increases safety by the Royal Purple staff Haymaker Hall became the first residence hall to implement a 24-hour locked-door policy, setting off a debate about safety versus convenience. The Department of Housing and Dining Services planned to lock all of the residence-hall doors, Paul English, sophomore in education, said. In mid-September, Haymaker ' s Hall Governing Board voted to lock the Haymaker doors which forced residents to use the Validine system to enter the front doors. We were trying to look at putting this system in at all the dorms around the same time, but the Haymaker Hall Governing Board took the issue and ran with it, Shah Hasan, assistant director of housing, said. I call it bold leadership on behalf of the HGB, and I support it 110 percent. Derek Dwyer, Association of Residence Halls representative and junior in mechanical engineering, said Haymaker ' s HGB took the initiative in starting the 24-hour lockdown to acclimate students before the year was over. Safety was a concern for Haymaker Hall, an all-male hall. Security has no gender, said. There are still personal belongings that can be stolen, and we don ' t want people off the street thinking they have free reign and vandalize the property. Shane Antholz, freshman in fisheries and wildlife biology, said the policy was unfair because hall residents did not vote on it. Other residents said they found the lockdown inconvenient when moving into or out of the hall. It was always easier to drive up to the back door and unload your clothes, run them to your room, and then go park, Mark Prestwood, freshman in arts and sciences, said. I ' d like to see them open it up during the day, Antholz said. Despite its inconveniences, Hasan stood by the lockdown. When the other dorms see how much safer this policy is and they implement it into the dorms, we will have all the little problems figured out, Hasan said. Haymaker is giving us the to work these problems out right now. 3 38 haymaker hall johnson Haymaker Hall van tyle Johnson, Richard Rose Hill Chemical Engineering FR Jordan, Shane Valley Center Business Administration FR Kennedy, Carlin Topeka Arts Sciences FR Kerr, Michael Ness City Architectural Engineering JR Lickteig, Shane Overland Park Engineering FR Loomis, Jeff Wichita Accounting SR Love, Matt Topeka Business Administration FR Marshall, Jack Sublette Pre-Optometry FR Martin, Brian Abilene Arts Sciences SO McIntosh, Randy El Dorado Business Administration FR Miller, Mark Albuquerque, N.M.

Mngt. SO taking a stand marlatt threatens secession from ARH by the Royal Purple staff Marlatt Hall ' s governing board threatened in October to from the Association of Residence Halls. After meeting with ARH, however, Marlatt decided in December against secession. Discussions about secession started with a letter sent by Marlatt Hall ' s Governing Board to ARH. We are trying to accomplish a better ARH, Scott Lamb, Marlatt resident and senior in geography, said. ARH needs to be more attuned to students. The secession letter was meant to move ARH, the governing board for all 11 residence halls, into action, Lamb said. We just don ' t feel like KSUARH cares about the west side of campus, said James Hall, chief justice of Marlatt HGB and senior in nuclear engineering. In its letter, the Marlatt HGB said information about ARH-sponsored programs was not prompt, meetings took place in a media-conference atmosphere and ARH disregarded the fact that residence halls were losing a significant number of residents each year. Marlatt HGB ' s letter suggested ways ARH could better serve residents, such as creating a mission statement and policies to support the statement. A significant number of Marlatt residents, the letter said, did not find belonging to ARH beneficial to the hall. Members of ARH were upset by the way Marlatt its concerns, Lin Bliss, ARH president and junior in and history, said. To begin with, it didn ' t bring the best out in everyone, but eventually it helped ARH ' s relationship with Marlatt, he said. It took some growing pains to get there. In response to Marlatt ' s letter, the ARH executive board drafted its own letter. We try to represent every but we can ' t make 3,400 phone calls, Bliss said. In the letter, ARH outlined the benefits of membership for each residence hall, such as having a voice in the policy-making the opportunity to interact with other students and the of information with campus and other halls. If Marlatt seceded, it would have lost access to programs and the ability to participate in residence-hall intramural competitions, Bliss said. Beyond benefits, Bliss said, the Department of Housing and Dining Services did not allow a residence hall to secede. They still own that building, and you still fall under those regulations, Bliss said. After hours of meetings spent on the matter of secession, the relationship between Marlatt and ARH improved, Bliss said. I think it taught us the importance of communication, he said. There ' s never enough you can do, and we keep building on that. We just don ' t feel like KSUARH cares about the west side of campus.

Considering it discrimination to celebrate only the first month of the year, residents started their own tradition, called New Month ' s Eve. Every last day of the month, we would gather together in one room and of beverage, Darrin McWilliams, sophomore in electrical said. Residents added a few more traditions besides counting down Moore Hall residents Jan. 9 during their Black Monday party. The event, which took place on the eighth floor, gave residents a chance to relax before spring classes Besides Black Monday, the residents also had on the last day of every month. (Photo by Cary Conover) the 10 seconds before midnight. Celebrators also listened to music by the rock group Kansas and indulged in the scorpion bowl. The scorpion bowl is a bowl full of assorted beverages, I throw in, and everyone brings a straw, Roger McCauley, fifth-year student in architecture, said. Trevor Dennis, eighth-floor resident and sophomore in science, said New Month ' s Eve was an ice-breaker that brought residents together. It ' s really cool that people try to get together, Dennis said. It seems hard to get everyone because we all do our own thing. In addition to celebrating each new month, residents kicked off the spring semester by celebrating Black Monday. Black Monday is the Monday before classes before the second semester, McWilliams said. moves back Sunday, and classes don ' t start until so we have Tuesday to Residents weren ' t the only ones attending the event. Black Monday was also the time when a lot of alumni returned to celebrate with us, McCauley said. Some residents said they thought the new traditions would die after the current residents moved out. McWilliams and McCauley said they would return and take over a residence-hall room in to continue the traditions. Some residents, like Jason Springer, sophomore in fine arts, said they would not be sad to see the traditions die. If it doesn ' t continue, that ' s good because that means it was ours and ours only. Every last day of the month, we would gather in one room and partake of beverage.

Putnam Hall Governing Board sponsored Jail and Bail Nov. 9 to collect non-perishable food items for Flint Hills Breadbasket. Any Putnam resident could donate one or more cans of food or 50 cents to put a fellow resident in jail. The jail was in the Putnam living room and had been to resemble a prison. In order to be freed, prisoners had to find someone to pay their bail, which was twice the amount of cans used to put them in jail. I only got taken to jail once, and luckily I flagged someone down in the hall, and they paid my bail, so I didn ' t have to stay there too long, Rebecca Harlan, in physics, said. I also put a couple of people in jail. HGB officers acted as deputies. The HGB officers took shifts working, and we got to go around and pick up those people who were supposed to be arrested. seemed to be about it, and no one got really upset, Dette McElroy, sophomore in journalism and mass communications, said. This was a much better way of getting the cans than going door to door, and it was a lot more fun, too. About 350 cans were collected, and about 40 percent of the hall participated, Johnathan Farr, Putnam Hall president and junior in civil engineering, said. It took very little planning time, and it was fairly successful with a lot of people participating throughout the night, he said.

We do just about everything, the cooking and the cleaning, said Jeremy Whiteside, freshman in But it ' s not really that big a deal. We only have to work about six or seven hours a week. For some of the men, putting on an apron and scraping chow together for dinner was a difficult chore. One of the residents, Whiteside said, had some with the mixer. He ' d put a bunch of flour in the mixer and then turned it on full power. It was all over the ceiling, the walls, just he said. Some people know what they ' re doing in the kitchen, and some don ' t. Cooking was only one of the duties Smith residents shared. They were also responsible for cleaning the house top to bottom, mowing the lawn, shoveling snow from the sidewalks and rousting other house members from their beds. Just about anything was used to wake people up, said Charles Caudill, junior in biology. We have a list that has everybody ' s name on it, and if you want to be woken up, then you put an X by your name, Caudill said. If you ' re really serious about it, then you write ' kill ' by your name. That means anything goes — off covers, using squirt guns, shining a flashlight in their faces, a nything to get them up, and both their feet have to touch the ground before you let them go. However, duties didn ' t study time — the house had a collective 3.3 grade-point average — or time to pull practical jokes on their sister house, Smurthwaite. One of their best pranks during the first semester. A couple of Smith residents called Smurthwa ite posing as employees of the dairy plant at Call Hall. They told the Smurthwaite that milk labeled with a date on it might be bad. The guys just picked a date, and it ended up being one of the ones they had, Whiteside said. They wound up pouring out seven gallons. Smurthwaite residents had their day when they planted about 40 election signs in Smith ' s front yard and T.P. ' d their living room. Smith kept the pranks going by returning Smurthwaite ' s house picture, which they had stolen previously, wrapped as a Christmas gift. We went over to their house during finals at about 1 or 2 in the morning, Don Maish, in speech pathology and audiology, said. We put the under their Christmas tree and then went to their stairwell so that the whole house could hear, and sang Christmas carols real loud. It was quite the wake-up call. The pranks were part of the good-natured relationship the two houses, Maish said. All the pranks are pulled in fun. Most people get a kick out of it. They ' re (Smurthwaite residents) always ready to dish it right back.

I really enjoy these functions, Charisse Wilson, junior in history, said. Our houses have a great tradition of doing things Members of both houses had fun pulling pranks such as T.P. ' ing, gift-wrapping doors and making prank calls. They T.P . ' d our sleeping dorms. They also unhinged the door of our director ' s office, wrapped it up and gave it to us as a Christmas present, Marvin Schlatter, Smith president and in pre-law, said. Of course, we have stolen their furniture and silverware before. But Smith residents weren ' t the only ones who had fun. Once, we stole their front- porch swing, Emilie Lunsford, junior in music education, said. I wanted to leave the chains there, but it ' d make too much noise, so we took the whole thing. We just loaded it up into a truck and took off. That wasn ' t Smurthwaite ' s only prank on Smith. We stole their front sign that said ' Smith Scholarship House. ' They had to write a song and sing it to us to get the sign back, Becky Bohne, sophomore in architecture, said. Smurthwaite residents also made dolls stuffed with newspaper, notes that read, Can ' t wait to do Homecoming with you, and then taped them to trees in Smith ' s front lawn, Bohne said. One prank pulled by the women backfired. We do serenade them but then they come out with Supersoakers at 4 in the morning, Bohne said. Through all the pranks, though, the two houses remained friendly. We try not to get upset about things, Lunsford said. Ofcourse, there is a line you don ' t cross. We don ' t do anything to damage their house or cars. Wilson agreed. I know sometimes the next day you ' ll apologize. Most people don ' t get upset, though, she said. It ' s a good way to meet people. I really enjoy these functions. Our houses have a great tradition of doing things together.

Van Zile Hall members came up with the idea to encourage participation in a can drive they sponsored the week of Nov. 28. The contributions benefited Cats for Cans and the Flint Hills Breadbasket. We were trying to think of an incentive to get the (Strong) and area residents to Dustin Springer, sophomore in elementary education, said. Andy Fink, the Strong Complex director, was the first one to get thrown at. I think the initial shock of actually getting pie thrown at them was a big surprise. Van Zile also sponsored drives for books and clothes during the winter holiday season. We collected children ' s books to give to the Manhattan Shelter and children ' s clothes, Ann-Marie Allison, in food science, said. Allison said this was the first year Van Zile residents had really helped out the community. The main reason Van Zile had not been involved in projects was lack of participation, but Allison said the participation level We typically have 30- to 40-percent participation this year, and that ' s a record for this hall, she said. The objective of each drive was not to give residents to do but to be nefit the community, Springer said. We want to show the that K-State cares. Al-Sumairi, Fares ....

FAST Track, which stood for First yeAr Student Transition Track, was designed to help first-year students get involved on campus. The purpose is to provide a transitional environment for new students at K-State, John Danos, Hall said. It ' s about to create contact with students to the University in both social and academic activities. Each FAST Track floor wing had a fa culty sponsor, chosen by resident who participated in with the residents and programs for them on a regular basis. The faculty also ate dinner with the one night a week. Research shows that greater faculty involvement in students ' lives helps retain students as well as GPAs, Danos said. Kim Bruna, freshman in arts and sciences, said faculty involvement was helpful. They bring up a lot of points we never thought of, especially like with pre-enrollment and things like that, Bruna said. They have presented programs on subjects like enrolling and undecided in college. Development of leadership skills was another focus of the FAST Track program. The encouraged members to programs for other Danos said. In promoting the development of leadership skills, residents and resident assistants took a personality test called the Student Task and Lifestyle Inventory. Bruna said the test helped her in choosing a course of study. It let me know what majors were out there and how to use that knowledge, she said. Leadership was also developed through involvement in the New Student Council. Danos, lead adviser for the council, said members worked on educational activities and programming to promote wellness. Both resident assistants and residents said close interaction was an advantage to living on the floor. You get to meet people and see how they live and what their interests are, Ryan McFarlane, freshman in environmental said. It ' s been fun coming up with things to do. Students weren ' t the only beneficiaries of the program. Roger Trenary, economics instructor, participated in the FAST Track program on the fourth floor of Goodnow Hall. He said the program gave him the chance to get to know some students better than he did in his large classes. Benefits of the program had a chance to reach more students and faculty in the future, Danos said. Expansion of the FAST Track program depended on how much interest was shown in the fall residence-hall contracts, he said. Virginia Sylvester, arts and sciences instructor, worked with on the fourth floor of Goodnow. She said the program could have a bright future. I think it has a lot of Sylvester said. I ' m not sure we ' ve tapped into it fully, but I know I ' m an idea of what concerns freshmen really do have. The purpose is to provide a transitional environment for new students at K-State.

Laid off from her job at Essex, a manufacturing company in Hoisington, Schartz ' s changed when she to go back to school and, in turn, became the for the 31 members of Acacia Schartz, 41, junior in said she first got the idea of becoming a housemother from friends. I thought they were kidding at first, but the more I thought about it, the better it sounded, she said. I ' d always kind of wanted to finish my degree, but I didn ' t know how I would finance that. After being laid off twice in less than two years, I thought I should try something else. Getting chosen as a to Acacia was, Schartz said, a stroke of luck because it was a fairly small fraternity. Having Schartz as a worked well for house members. Her business sense helped in the hiring of a new cook, Daniel Knox, junior in industrial said. Beyond that, Knox said, she ' s here for whatever support we need. Support was a two-way street at Acacia. For Schartz, the hardest part of adjusting to college life was studying. After you haven ' t been in school for 20 years, you forget how to study, she said. Thus, house members often helped Schartz study by reading notecards of information during crunch course exam study In return, Schartz helped with the Acacia Homecoming float and sewed costumes for Acacia ' s Night on the Nile party before school started. Jason Haremza, junior in chemistry, said Schartz provided an understanding ear about money, school and women. She is someone you can talk to and bring a lot of your problems to, Haremza said. She also likes our music. Steve Collins, junior in said Schartz played an important role for the fraternity. She also takes the role of counselor instead of just being a figurehead in the house, Collins said. Being a role model for house members was her most important responsibility, Schartz said. I hope I can be a more influence on the guys and keep them in touch with what ' s important — staying in school getting good grades. It ' s a really neat time to be an influence in anyone ' s life, Schartz said. Beyond that, Knox said, Schartz was a stable figure for house members. When you ' re down around Mom ' s room, things get a little calmer, Knox said. It ' s kind of a buffer zone because you want to respect her. There are times when she doesn ' t want that. She kind of considers us her family. She is someone you can talk to and bring a lot of your problems to. She also likes our Music.

Working behind locked doors, picking up battered women and children from gas stations and calls from potential victims were just a few of the responsibilities of Alpha Chis who volunteered at the Crisis Center. Alpha Chi ' s national was domestic violence. K-State ' s chapter supported the cause by working at the Crisis Center. Stephanie Laudemann, senior in elementary education, said the center was a shelter for battered and abused women and children. She spent one night a week at the center to assist people who arrived. We help get them back on their feet, she said. It ' s a place they can stay. I was there in case we had a new woman come in the middle of the night, and I would show her around. Also, I was a counselor, someone for the ladies to talk to. Laudemann became involved at the center by hearing about it from another Alpha Chi. One of the seniors when I was a sophomore was doing an at the Crisis Center, she said. She was doing her social work, and she got me interested in the volunteer training. Through Laudemann, other Alpha Chis became interested in volunteering at the center. Lisa Meiergerd, junior in human development and family studies, volunteered at the center and said she dealt with interesting calls. A lot of times it ' s women who want to leave their home, and they want someone to talk to. Sometimes they even have their children with them, Meiergerd said. Usually they call from a public phone, like from a gas and we meet them We can ' t go to the house because the abuser might be there. Volunteering at the center wasn ' t the only work Alpha Chis did to benefit victims of domestic Gretchen Ricker, senior in elementary education, said they also raised money for the center. They donated earnings from Spring Fling, an Ultimate Frisbee tournament they sponsored with Alpha Tau Omega fraternity, to the center. Alpha Chi members wore purple and white ribbons in October for domestic violence awareness month, Ricker said. White signified hope for a violence-free world, and purple represented those who had died from domestic violence. Each time a person asked what the ribbons meant, the wearer was to take offthe ribbons and give them to the person who asked, said. For every one an Alpha Chi gave away, the member donated something to the center, she said. Stacey Hager, senior in journalism, said the women and children at the shelter needed many items because they often didn ' t take anything with them when they left their abusers. They take their purse, and that ' s all they have, she said. They ' re scared to turn back. Victims of domestic often did not have much after they left abusive but the media ' s to the issue gave them hope, Laudemann said. I don ' t think many people knew much about domestic violence until recently, she said. Now with all the movies coming out and other things, it ' s hard not to know about it. Sorority members said they were fortunate to have the chance to help an issue of national importance on a local level, Ricker said. We don ' t realize how much we have until we have the opportunity to give to someone else, she said. We don ' t realize how much we have until we have the opportunity to give to someone else.

Alpha Delta Pi sorority of fered new members the Education Program, which operated on an equality basis. The program, the first of its kind in the nation, was a course in ADPi history and tradition, which gave the a chance to get to know the sorority they joined. The short program got us in the house right away, Kate Tirrell, freshman in said. Part of the program changed the name for the new members. We do not call new members ' pledges ' because the word pledge can sometimes have a bad stereotype, Amy Vaughan, junior in marketing, said. Vaughan, alpha educator, said the new members were called alphas until initiation, when they became deltas. The members remained a delta until they either graduated or got married, and then they became pis. Alpha is the beginning of everything, and Delta is the sign for change. Everyone goes through change in college and finds themselves. Pi means infinity, and you ' re always an ADPi, she said. One advantage of the was that new members were allowed to attend chapter and vote from the of the fall semester. This was important because in meetings, the members made decisions about which they would join with to Homecoming and other activities. I like it because you have a say in what ' s going on, Missy Abott, freshman in business said. Another advantage of the program was using diamond sisters instead of mothers and daughters most sororities used. We have sisters instead of moms and daughters because signify a one-to-one that offers support and understanding, Vaughan said. That desire for equal treatment was the idea behind the program, Julie Waters, vice president and senior in education, said. The bottom line is that all of this — the diamond sisters and the shortened programs — stress that no one is better than anyone else, Waters said.

Pre-Veterinary Medicine SO common roots AGRs continue ag tradition by Janet McPherson Brotherhood wasn ' t the only bond that 51 Alpha Gamma Rho members shared. They also had a common interest in agriculture. We ' re the only fraternity on campus, Paul Friedrichs, junior in agricultural economics, said. Most fraternities are just together socially, but we ' re together professionally as well. Of the 64 AGRs, 51 members had majors in agriculture-related fields, a figure that reflected the requirement that 85 percent of members had to be majors. Most members were from rural backgrounds and were involved in their schools, churches and 4-H clubs, Friedrichs said. Members wanted to continue that involvement in rural issues throughout their college careers, he said. One way the fraternity stayed involved in college was through leadership. I think we ' re known for that, Friedrichs said. We ' re the most represented house in student government by far. AGRs were in four of the six executive positions on the of Agriculture Student he said. Clayton Wheeler, Student chairman and senior in said AGR helped develop leadership abilities. When you come to K-State, our house welcomes you with open arms, and with strong support from our alumni and community house leadership is also a great role model, Wheeler said. AGR has an unwritten motto that you should never let the books get in the way of your education. A lot of the things you learn are through people, organizations, activities, work experience and strong house involvement. This teaches you to work together and to branch out into leadership roles. Friedrichs described his as motivated and enthusiastic. Overall, we ' re a pretty upbeat house that ' s focused on doing the right thing, Friedrichs said. Doing the right thing included activities such as raising money for the Big Brothers and Big Sisters of Manhattan Inc. program with the Phi Kappa Alpha fraternity through Beach Bash, a day of greek at Tuttle Creek State Park. The event included sand volleyball and a Beauty and the Beast contest. Michael Doane, senior in agribusiness, said several became big brothers to area youth because of their in Beach Bash. Another way the fraternity was involved was through the program. The fraternity was one of the last fraternities to have a little-sister program, Friedrichs said. Little sisters, or RhoMates, were selected through an application and interview process according to agricultural affiliation, leadership and why they wanted to Chris Mullinix, junior in animal sciences and industry, said. They ' re not there just as pretty pictures on the wall or we brag about, he said. They do as much for us as we do for them. Doane said the contacts he made with the RhoMates and other leaders affiliated with his house would help him in the job market. It ' s really important to come out of college with a network already established in the sector of agriculture, Doane said. Being in this fraternity has made it easier. AGR has an unwritten motto that you should never let the books get in the way of your education. Clayton Wheeler, Student Senate chairman and senior in marketing alpha gamma rho 369 house Alpha Kappa Alpha Delta Sigma Theta davis joining forces black greeks interact with local children by Darren Whitley A community-service project brought black greek houses and traditional greek houses together. Participating in an activity organized by Big Brothers and Big Sisters of Manhattan Inc. gave black greeks a chance to interact with local children as well as of other greek organizations. Working more with traditional greeks was a goal black greeks said they wanted achieve. I wish the white sororities and the black sororities and fraternities could get more often and do things, Shanta Snell, Alpha Kappa Alpha sorority president and junior in elementary education, said. We ' ll never be the same, but I feel like we should be equal and treat each other the same. Coming together for the game Nov. 29, black greeks and 18 Manhattan children shared the experience with other and sororities as part of the Big Brothers and Big Sisters program, Snell said. I think it was a positive thing to see younger African American children looking at older African American young adults who are achieving at high levels, Snell said. Because the greeks didn ' t have houses to invite the children to, the black fraternities and sororities bought their guests dinner at McDonald ' s and gave them Part of the fun for the during the evening was Willie the Wildcat ' s Snell said. Members paid out of their own pock ets to share the experience with the children. I knew some of the kids, so we were all excited, Snell said. The community-service project gave Steven Duren, Kappa Alpha Psi member and senior in art, a chance to pass on of his fraternity as well as college life to children. He said he believed in the of having black greeks serve as role models for black children. That belief was instilled in Duren from a young age. Greeks from Paul Quinn University, a predominantly African American university in Dallas, as well as a coach and English teacher who were greeks, made their upon him at a young age, he said. Duren wouldn ' t have joined a fraternity outside the black-greek system because that was all he knew as a kid, he said. Because Duren ' s life was by older people, he was anxious to influence young lives again, he said. I think it was a positive thing to see younger African American children looking at older African American young adults who are achieving at high levels.

We weren ' t able to maintain the house financially and were forced to rent it out. We hadn ' t been able to get the membership we needed to maintain financial support, said Dave Metzger, president of AKL and senior in mechanical engineering. The AKL house was rented to the Phi Gamma Delta fraternity, which was in the process of purchasing the house. Although the 20 AKLs did not have a house, several lived in apartments or houses. Once we were out of the house in ' 93- ' 94, we tried to living arrangements in Royal Towers to keep us together, Metzger said. Now, seven of us live in a house — so, it ' s more like a fraternity house than just a group of apartments. Chapter attendance declined because meetings were at the Union instead of at a fraternity house, Metzger said. Because they didn ' t have a house, members worked hard to establish traditions that would make their fraternity stronger, Kent McColl, junior in secondary education, said. We are working really hard to reorganize and promote even if we don ' t all live together, he said. The main goal in the fraternity was to increase membership, Dan Zeller, senior in architecture, said. The numbers have been down the last few years, and we need to get them up so we can move back into the house, Zeller said. Although the fraternity claimed the largest pledge class in K-State history in fall 1991, membership dwindled after the loss oftheir house. When I pledged the house, it was the largest fraternity pledge class at K-State, Metzger said. Although the University banned hazing in 1957, Metzger said it occurred for years after. I don ' t know when the formally banned hazing, but it has happened and probably still does today. Our fraternity decided not to haze with the pledge class of 1990. Some members didn ' t want to give it up, Metzger said. Metzger said because some thought hazing was a tradition that should be kept, they quit. The hazing stopped, and so some members took the tradition with them and left, Metzger said. The actives that wanted to keep the hazing tradition forced some of the pledges to de-pledge. Mike Pruente, sophomore in secondary education, said the loss of members due to hazing caused further problems for the fraternity. Once numbers fell, effort fell, Pruente said. It got harder to do things like functions with less members. One problem the fraternity had in recruiting new mem bers was being unable to communicate its positive attributes, Metzger said. I don ' t know if we ' re not competent at rush, because we have good brotherhood and good times, he said. We ' re just not able to sell it like other houses. Metzger said the fraternity was receiving some outside help in order to reach its goals. The national organization is corning in to take over rush efforts to get our numbers up, he said. After that, it is up to them and the alumni to get us a new house. In order to increase membership, the needed to focus on traditions and unity, Metzger said. We ' re not a cohesive fraternity right now, Metzger said. We ' re just a group of guys. Despite their lack of community, members said they were optimistic about the fraternity ' s future. As long as we keep up with our traditions and maintain the unity we have, we should be able to improve our numbers and move back into a house, Pruente said. Zeller said although being a house drove down ultimately it would help the fraternity to improve. The house is overcoming a lot of its problems, and everyone is optimistic about the next few years, he said. We really needed this time to centralize and get our priorities straight. The numbers have been down the last few years, and we need to get them back up so we can move back into the house.

Family Studies SR culture shock alpha xis drop in on bourbon street by Amy Smith Sneaking to New Orleans, La., during Labor Day weekend, 19 senior members of Alpha Xi Delta found the surprise was on them. New Orleans offered sights not often found in Kansas. You would be walking down the street, and guys would be dressed up in lace, suspenders and chains and leather — not the dress, Christy Hayes, senior in accounting, said. Another unusual encounter occurred in a gay bar, Melissa Norris, senior in human development and family studies, said. It was all guys, Norris said. It took us a few minutes to realize what was going on until we that guys were putting dollar bills in other guys ' underwear. We looked around and saw guys kissing each other. It sent a bunch of us into culture shock. The seniors got caught up in another strange occurrence, Sherry Anderson, senior in professions, said. We got caught in the middle of a gay parade. They were in a group down the street, I guess to say they had the right to be there, Anderson said. We didn ' t realize we were in the middle of it until someone said, ' Did you know you ' re in the middle of a gay parade? ' The trip cost each member only $200 for airfare and hotel expenses and an additional $200 in money, Hayes said. The sneak had been planned since the previous spring, Jennifer Wagner, senior in elementary education, said. Although the trip was supposed to be a secret, it wasn ' t a surprise to many members of the house. Originally when sneaks started, seniors went away, and it was a secret. We tried, but a lot of people knew, Norris said. When you plan something this big for so long, it ' s hard to keep it a secret. Plus, a lot of other houses go at the same time. During their stay in New the Alpha Xis stayed in a hotel near the French Quarter. It was quite a few blocks from Bourbon Street, but we walked just about everywhere, Joanna Wall, senior in management, said. We went to the Jimmy Buffett Margaritaville, and I ' m a big Buffett fan, so that was really neat. Though the Alpha Xis found many of the sights they in New Orleans unusual, attending a Kansas City Chiefs game reminded them of home. It was neat to go to a Chiefs game in New Orleans, especially since it was the season opener, Hayes said. The Alpha Xis weren ' t the only Chiefs fans on Bourbon Street. Saturday night, a group of hundreds from Kansas City did Chiefs chants and cheers led by some guys on a balcony, Anderson said. We were blocking drives and traffic, so the cops had to break it up. The Alpha Xis managed to stay together as a group during most of their time in the Big Easy, Norris said. We had a really great time because at school, we see each other, she said, but we got to spend the entire time together there. You would be walking down the street, and guys would be dressed up in lace, suspenders and chains and leather — not the normal dress.” Christy Hayes, senior in accounting alpha xi delta 375 mountford Alpha Xi Delta Wolcott Mountford, Kristin Colby Secondary Education SR Murphy, Mendi Olathe Journalism Mass Comm.

Previously, the Beta Sigs contacted Kansas Lutheran churches to request names of high-school seniors, which were then mailed to them. The system netted only 10 pledges in the fall, said Josh Wolters, rush chairman and junior in agricultural engineering. With the help of Pastor James Gau from St. Luke ' s Lutheran Church in Manhattan, the worked on a plan to present to the Kansas Senate. The plan asked the Senate to send the a list compiled by the Lutheran churches of all seniors. The Lutheran churches to a national database — all the senior names would be in there, Wolters said. We could get their names without going through the churches. It ' ll help quite a lot, make things easier. If the new system were implemented, pledge numbers would increase, Wolters said. We can get 20 pledges a year, he said. We need that to be a healthier fraternity. To be an active member in the house, the members had to go through the process of being confirmed Lutheran. They still have to be before they can go active, Dan Reith, senior in chemistry, said. They go to the pastor, and it only takes about a month or two to go through instruction — so, it ' s not too strenuous of an Allen, J.

Maintaining at least a 3.032 grade-point average since 1990, the Betas to rank in the top 25 percent of averages. Scott Bingham, Beta president, rush and senior in landscape architecture, that success to atmosphere and attitude. The pledges look for a place where they feel at home, where they are accepted in a new — a place where they will be assisted while they are in college, Bingham said. To ensure the fraternity in the top quarter, the Betas required all members to complete study hours during the week, Jason George, scholarship and sophomore in chemical engineering, s aid. The house enforced quiet hours 6-10 p.m., Sunday through so members could on homework. Members stressed scholarships and education to incoming George said. Because ofthose measures, the Beta freshman class consistently ranked in the top four academically among fraternity pledge classes. Another step taken to give the fraternity a better learning was making it a closed house, Bingham said. This meant that during the school week, women could only be in the lobby or the TV rooms and not on the second or third floors. The Betas had open house from noon Saturday to noon George said. When the Betas weren ' t they often participated in competitions. In the all-University Championships, Kyle Kugler, graduate in psychology, won the pingpong tournament for the third consecutive year. In the bowling competition, Bernie Haney, intramural and sophomore in journalism and mass communications, claimed his second win. The fraternity had won the intramural title 29 out of the past 39 years. (Intramurals) brings out and teamwork, Haney said. It ' s something everyone can enjoy. It ' s a battle because is after the intramural title. Bingham said intramural did more than just strengthen brotherhood. Intramurals bring the house together, he said.

Together, the Chi O ' s and ATOs won the greek competition, taking first place in the float and bodybuilding competitions. We did Homecoming with the ATOs because all we ' ve heard for the past four years was how fun they are, Mindy Carter, senior in journalism and mass communications, said. They put 100 percent into Homecoming. The location of the houses turned out to be an important advantage for the Chi O ' s because they didn ' t have to drive to the ATO house. It was good to have their house so near, especially with drinking and driving, Kristen Laughlin, Chi O president and junior in special education, said. We didn ' t have to worry about it, and it wasn ' t even an issue because the girls could just walk back to our house. Another advantage was that getting members to attend and required events during the week didn ' t seem like a hassle, Laughlin said. It started out with people dreading it and being more about school than Homecoming, she said. But we really didn ' t have a problem because of the convenience of the ATOs being so near. Before Homecoming week even started, members from the two houses were already getting to know each other. They (ATOs) got everyone pumped up, Laughlin said. They came over and did a skit for us the week before Homecoming where they danced and sang to a song. We all saw that, and that really helped get us excited. Even though the Chi O ' s won the Homecoming events, they were surprised at the overall The night before everything was announced, everyone was to figure out the points, Amy Barber, senior in human development and family studies, said. After it was all over, all of us were really excited. The satisfaction of winning wasn ' t the only benefit the Chi O ' s got out of their Homecoming experiences. It makes you feel good about your house when you perform well, Cindy Davis, sophomore in business administration, said. Also, Homecoming is a good way to get to know other people in the greek system.

It took a lot of hard work from all the members to make this chartering a reality, Kris Dekker, Delta Chi president and junior in mechanical engineering, said. The men of Delta Chi the occasion with a formal banquet and dance at the Holidome. Delta Chi was first chartered on the K-State campus in 1964 and was recolonized in October 1992 after a 14-year absence. Delta Chi alumni wanted to restart the K-State chapter there was already an alumni base, which could help ensure a successful fraternity, Paul Reigelsberger, senior in human development and family studies, said. Jim Demaree, chartering chairman and senior in speech, said the process to become an official chapter was not an easy one. We had to put together a 250-page report describing our colony ' s structure, bylaws, alumni board and plans for the future. The report was then submitted to our executive board for review, Demaree said. After deciding the colony met all the criteria for becoming a chapter, the executive board granted the charter at the Delta Chi national convention in during the summer. Although it was the newest traditional fraternity on campus, it had more than 100 members. Reigelsberger attributed the number of members to the fact that the fraternity stressed and tried to break free from stereotypes. I know a lot of us thought we would never be greek oriented, he said. A lot of upperclassmen look for something not quite so traditional. One of the fraternity ' s goals was to purchase land and build a house. Having a house was important for a strong chapter, Reigelsberger said. We ' d like a permanent house in order to create some stability, he said. I know everybody looks for that material stability. Upperclassmen saw longterm benefits to starting the chapter. It was a lot ofwork, but worth it. As a founding father, I feel respected and a part of history, Demaree said. In 15 years, I want to come back to K-State and have everyone ask what it was like to begin the chapter. It took a lot of hard work from all the members to make this chartering a reality.” Kris Dekker, Delta Chi president and junior in mechanical engineering delta chi 383 demaree Delta Chi zwetzig Demaree, Jim Salina Speech Donaldson, Christopher Prairie Village Mechanical Engineering SR Gedney, Ryan Salina Environmental Design FR Hammons, Dan Manhattan Architecture SO Harder, Travis Madison, Wis.

For their pledge sneak, pledges braved the challenge course, which was affiliated with the University of Kansas campus. Split into small groups, the women spent a day in Lawrence visiting the course ' s various stations. Groups could not advance to the next obstacle until the current one was successfully completed. The purpose ofthe pledge sneak was to help make the new more comfortable with each other. I thought we really got to know one another, Kara Ungeheuer, freshman in professions, said. I ' d never heard of the course before, but we all had a great time, and I think it would be fun to go back and do it again. The Tri-Delts were the first sorority from K-State to visit Adam ' s Challenge Course. It was something different that none of the other houses had done before, Molly Ingemanson, freshman in biology, said. It was neat to be the first house to go there, and everybody wanted to hear about it when we got back. The Trust Fall, a station in which one person fell backward off a five-foot high stand to be caught by the group, was one of the pledge class ' s favorite obstacles. I had never done the Trust Fall in the past, but after being through all the obstacles with the girls, I felt comfortable that they would be there to catch me, Cherish Starr, freshman in administration, said. It was neat how we could totally begin to trust each other by the end of the day. Ungeheuer said she found the Wishbone the most exciting We had to walk on separate tightropes holding onto our while the ropes got further and further away, she said. We really had to rely on each other. We all had to work together, and we just kept trying because we wanted to make it to the end of the tightropes. Tour guides led the group through the challenge course and lessons at the end of each obstacle. Our guide asked us how each situation would relate to the house and how we could make the team work to get through the obstacle work in the house, too, Carey Usher, freshman in pre journalismand mass said.

FR Hoover, Jason McPherson Business Administration SO haunted hospital event benefits march of dimes by Jamie Bush Mystery, mayhem, murder and the March of Dimes inspired Delta Sigma Phi fraternity to sponsor Haunted Hospital Oct. 27-31 at the former Kite ' s Bar Grille in Aggieville. The event, in its first year, about 5,000 people of all ages and raised $4,000 for the March of Dimes, which was founded in 1938. We wanted to stay away from all of the traditional things like a vampire and Frankenstein because people are used to all of that, Michael Potts, sophomore in architecture, said. The thing that we were trying to keep in mind when we were planning this was how could we involve the customers in the house, Potts said. Instead of having them walk by something scary, let ' s have them be a part of the scenario. About 80 businesses donated cash or materials to the Haunted Hospital, Potts said. Glen Riffel, owner of the property Kite ' s formerly occupied, allowed the fraternity to use the property for the Haunted Hospital. Members originally wanted to have the event at their fraternity house because legend had it that the house was haunted. The chapter house, when it was originally built in 1904, was a YMCA for 50 years, and then it was St. Mary ' s Hospital, Potts said. When Delta Sigma Phi bought the building a few years later, the hospital was moving the patients out, and one of the patients fell out of bed and died, he said. His body wasn ' t found until the next day. Potts said there had been reports in the late 1950s and early 1960s of fraternity members seeing the ghost of the man walking around the house in search of his lost bed. Another rumor was that the house was haunted by the ghost of a dead nurse who either fell down an open elevator shaft or was crushed by the elevator on the first floor of the house, Potts said. Although fire code regulations prohibited Delta Sig members from having the event at their house, the fraternity ' s legends carried their way into the Haunted Hospital, as it included a room with about five and nurses performing gruesome scenes. Members said the new event was a that should be repeated.

The memorial, dedicated Nov. 10, 1989, had the names of 42 K-State students who had died or were missing in action in Of those 42, one was Steve W. Train, a Delt brother and K-State graduate who died in on April 2, 1970. The pledge class cleaned the memorial Nov. 10, the day before Veterans Day, to raise awareness about Train and other veterans who died defending their country. It ' s become kind of a for us, Jamey Johnston, Delt president and junior in management, said. It took us about an hour, and they (the pledges) learned respect and gratitude for the who served our country. This was the third year for a pledge class to clean the Johnston said. Members said the project helped increase about the memorial. I don ' t think everyone was aware of the memorial. It doesn ' t get much attention, Chris Carter, freshman in sociology, said. Many people don ' t know where it ' s at or what it is. We wanted to bring attention to it, he said. The memorial, near All Faiths Chapel, was built through the use of private funds donated by Manhattan residents, area businesses and students. Bill Arck, executive director of the memorial committee and of Alcohol and Other Drug Education Services, said the University was responsible for the memorial. However, he said he was pleased the Delts volunteered to clean it. This was kind of a surprise, Arck said. It ' s something they just did. Carter said cleaning the made the war more real to him. Seeing all the names of guys made me realize what these guys had to deal with, he said. Some were guys like us yanked out of college for the war. Cleaning the memorial was worthwhile, Carter said. I don ' t think they (veterans) get the respect they deserve, he said. It just gives you a good feeling to do something in memory of them.

Of the fraternity ' s 95 71 donated $20 to be part of ICAT, an organization consisting of students who supported K-State athletics. All money raised by ICAT was contributed to the Mike Ahearn Scholarship Fund. Since I was a freshman, everybody in the house has (in) ICAT, Shane Scott, president of ICAT and in said. But last year, not as many members of the house were in ICAT. I just had to motivate them and give them incentives. I said, ' Come on, guys. Sign up. ' If the seniors do it, the freshmen will, too. The motivation helped, and ICAT more than doubled its membership, increasing from 580 during the 1993-94 school year to roughly 1,250 members during the 1994-95 school year. Scott attributed the jump in size to an increase in recruiting. In the past few years, ICAT had tapered off, so I thought we needed to do things to entice students, he said. We offered some incentives, the seats were better this year, and we had more at the games so that only ICAT members could get into the section. Scott said ICAT, which began in the early 1980s, was one of the few organizations of its kind in the nation. The University of was the only other Big Eight Conference school to have a booster club, he said. Members of the house saw benefits to being an ICAT member. Your money goes to a good cause, said Brian Vulgamore, member of the ICA T Advisory Board and freshman in agribusiness. Also, this is the first year that ICAT offered a pizza party to the sorority and fraternity with the most membership, he said. That was one of our goals. The DUs reached that goal, partially because of motivation, Vulgamore said. Once you get 80 percent of the guys in the house having the benefits, then the other 20 percent want in it, too, he said. Because ICAT members sat together at the games, Vulgamore said the DUs were able to tailgate together and not worry about fighting the crowds for good seats. Everybody wears their ICAT T-shirts on game day, Vulgamore said. We usually go to games together, and everybody brings their friends. Scott said members ' in ICAT wasn ' t limited to fun activities. Fraternity members also assisted him when it came to organizing ICAT events. They helped me out with any little things I needed, Scott said. For the Purple Power Play on Poyntz, guys in the house helped do all of the decorations for the stage. I ' ve had a lot of support from the guys in the house and ICAT members in general. At the Nebraska football game, DUs helped hold six balloon tanks and inflate approximately 6,000 balloons. A couple of members also helped sell pompons. Steve Borgelt, freshman in arts and sciences, said DUs supported athletics. We have a football player, and one of our guys is the manager for the basketball team, so we really get into it, he said. Shane (Scott) told me it would be the best $20 I ' d ever spend at K-State, and it was. Once you get 80 percent of the guys in the house having the benefits, then the other 20 percent want in it, too.

The two fraternity houses were neighbors on College Heights Road, with a parking lot and friendly rivalry between them. You can stand on our deck and hit their house with almost anything, Brice Davis, SAE Homecoming chairman and junior in landscape architecture, said. That proximity gave the houses ample opportunity for interaction. We have an annual snowball fight. There ' s a great barrier our houses. It ' s like two forts, said Travis Funk, Homecoming chairman and junior in kinesiology. We don ' t hate them by any means. We ' re just boys having fun. Around Halloween time, the SAEs maintained the rivalry and set a scarecrow in a recliner in FarmHouse ' s back parking lot, Ted Glasco, FarmHouse president and senior in computer science, said. In retaliation, FarmHouse lit the recliner on fire and placed it on SAE ' s basketball court. Because both fraternities had about 60 members, and their Homecoming partner, Alpha Chi Omega sorority, had about 120, pairing up kept the numbers even, Funk said. Neither of our houses had much Homecoming experience. We both mostly had guys who had never done Homecoming before, Funk said. I think we did a really good job for such an inexp erienced group. The Homecoming partners finished fourth in Pant the Chant. Despite pulling together for competition, the neighboring fraternities continued their friendly rivalry throughout Homecoming week. I heard firecrackers go off outside and found out that they had dumped trash in our yard, and then we had a firecracker war, Glasco said. The SAEs came back over to help clean up later that night, though. Both houses said it was not difficult to put aside their rivalry and work together. We had a good time together, and we ' d do it again, Funk said. We had a lot of get-togethers like barbecues outside of to get the houses to know each other so we could work together. Glasco had a similar philosophy. The bottom line is we weren ' t out for the cutthroat competition. No one was twisting our arms to work together. We were there for a good time, and that ' s what we got, he said. What lasts after Homecoming is the friends you make, not the competition. Although Homecoming gave the fraternities a chance to work together, some didn ' t put aside their friendly rivalry. I still talk to a lot of the guys, Davis said. They ' re a good bunch of guys, but that doesn ' t mean I wouldn ' t shoot a bottle rocket at them. What lasts after Homecoming is the friends you make, not the competition.

But by winning 11 out of the past 12 years in intramural competition, the women of Gamma Phi Beta seemed to have started a sporting tradition. The Gamma Phis began their winning streak in 1982-83. Since that time, they had only one loss, which was to the Alpha Delta Pi house in 1990-91. However, the Gamma Phis didn ' t plan on repeating that singular l oss. The girls who are older continue to influence the pledges who are coining in, Desa Marmie, senior in management, said. It ' s just something that keeps going. Nobody wants to break a Pride was one of the biggest reasons the tradition continued. It ' s something we take pride in, and we all know it ' s a goal we can reach together. It ' s the effort of the whole house, Denise Schneweis, junior in accounting, said. Nikki Wilson, intramural chairwoman and sophomore in kinesiology, agreed. As a house, we take a lot of pride in intramurals, and by doing it, keeping something that is that long-standing, you build up a she said. And you want to keep that reputation. Of the 135 members, about 40-50 competed in more than 25 different sporting contests, from arm-wrestling to horseshoes to team basketball. We really encourage and participation, Wilson said. We don ' t always win we have super-jocks in our house. It ' s because we participate in almost every sport possible. Many of the women competed in more than one competition and often tried events they had never done. Although Marmie had not played handball until she came to college, she won both singles and doubles. But winning wasn ' t the only benefit to playing. A lot of my friends in the house play, and I ' ve met a lot of other girls in different houses who I ' ve gotten to know and become friends with because of intramurals, Marmie said. Wilson said she became with other members of her house because of intramurals. That ' s how I got to know my pledge class my freshman year, by playing football, she said. Marmie said intramurals the members of the house in ways other than direct The people who don ' t play usually come and support us at the games. We have a group of girls called the ' crescent cuties ' that show up in crazy clothes and are just loud and obnoxious and crazy. It makes a good atmosphere for the G Phis, she said. It ' s a tradition that we want to keep carrying on.

Fifteen Thetas joined seven campus groups in Relay for Life, which took place Aug. 27 in Memorial Stadium. Walking from 6 p.m. to 6 a.m. inspired a bonding experience among the participants, Kristen Falkenberg, senior in architectural engineering, said. There ' s so little time in to just sit down and talk, she said. It was also a good chance to help the community. Each team had one member walking or jogging for 20 minutes at a time. It was the first year student groups participated in the relay, said Mary Stamey, of the relay and treasurer of the Riley County unit of the American Cancer Society. Fundraising for a philanthropy will be a part of your life, so it ' s life-like, Stamey said. Students are energetic and creative, and they make any event fun. They add a whole new dimension to any activity. For Susan Eby, sophomore in secondary education, the cause hit close to home. I thought it was neat because both my grandmothers had cancer and survived, Eby said. It helps them fight cancer and look for a cure. Potentially, I could have it, so it was meaningful to me. Luminaries, lit for people with the disease, were a highlight of the evening. It was neat because the entire track was lit up, Eby said. When we lit up the luminaries, everyone involved in the event walked, and that was really neat, seeing pull together. A guest speaker who suffered from cancer spoke to the about the importance of the cause. She said she appreciated who helped raise money, so we saw where the money was going — to help this woman fight cancer, Falkenberg said. It brought to life the cause we were walking for. Each house member who joined the Theta relay team raised $100 in pledges to participate in the event, Falkenberg said. in the Relay for Life raised $20,000, Stamey said. Money raised by the national American Cancer Society the with more than $800,000 in cancer grants, Stamey said. Jenny sophomore in journalism and mass said the event was successful because it brought the participants together. I ' ll always remember the unity of all the people, she said. We had a candle-lighting service, and it was a special moment. It made you realize how lucky you were. We had a candle-lighting service, and it was a special moment.

Living in the Kappa house with a group of different types of people helped me to live with people who were very different from me while I was in France, Noelle Turpinat, senior in languages, said. Turpinat studied French at a language school called L ' Etoile in Paris during summer 1994. I ' m a French major, and I wanted more experience of being immersed in the language and culture, Turpinat said. I think it ' s very important because it makes you a more well-rounded Heather Harris, junior in life sciences and pre-medicine, said she studied Spanish language and culture in Cuernavaca, Mexico, for a summer along with Jennifer Viterise, 1994 graduate. After returning from Mexico, Harris said, she enjoyed sharing her experiences with her Kappa sisters. I spoke Spanish the first three weeks when I returned, she said, and I drove all of my friends crazy. Crystal Goering, senior in journalism and mass communications, said the sorority helped expose her to different types of people and beliefs. This helped her adjust at Richmond College in London, where she studied British culture during the 1994 spring semester. I met people from all parts of the United States and England while I was studying in London, Goering said. I got a lot ofpeople skills there, Christie Fipps, sophomore in social work and modern languages, said she hoped studying abroad would help give her an for people. I think it ' s good to how vulnerable people can feel, and be experiencing that when I go to on my own, she said. Fipps, who planned to study French at Universitsé Blaise Pascal in in southern France, said leaving would be difficult.

Diepenbrock Members of Kappa Sigma fraternity had an incentive for getting good grades — cash. Students who had a 3.0 average or higher received money from the fund, Steve Flones, senior in marketing, said. Any with a 3.0 gets $75, with a 3.5 gets $125, and anyone with a 4.0 gets $200, Mark junior in business said. This has really helped everyone become more focused and aware of their grades — not to mention it ' s nice to receive recognition for hard work. At the beginning of the members set a personal goal for their own GPA. If they met that goal, they received $10. We are a social fraternity, Flones said, but we have to keep in mind that we ' re here to go to school. To help the members of the house study, the fraternity a 24-hour quiet room. The fraternity also kept strict study hours, John Schoenthaler, freshman in engineering, said. Hours were from 7 to 10 p.m. Sunday through Thursday, and from 8 to 11 a.m., Monday through Friday. The quiet hours are Schoenthaler said. These hours help in developing good study habits for freshman. Members who developed those good study habits could qualify for the monetary awards. Students were required to take 12 or more credit hours to receive the award. Whenever there ' s any drive to make you study for a class and do well in a class, then it has to be a financial award, Schoenthaler said. Through the incentive $1,600 was awarded for the fall semester, Lance Miller, senior in pre-law, said. Another financial award was a $1,000 scholarship given by F. Lynn Markel, a Kappa Sigma alumnus. The award was given to one student who had 3.0 GPA or higher. The student with the best application was chosen. These awards help a lot, Miller said. They are a great incentive. Schneider agreed the financial incentives improved grades. In the past, the grades really weren ' t that good, Schneider said. The money is a great incentive.

Corey Kephart, Lambda Chi vice president and sophomore in business administration, said were eligible for the award every three years. To win the award, Kephart said, chapters had to receive an excellent rating from their national consultants for six consecutive semesters. Our consultant meets all our officers and a majority ofthe members, Kephart said. He stays for about a week and our chapter with other across the country. Brian Siegrist, Lambda Chi president and senior in journalism and mass communications, said each officer in the house had about 15 office standards to uphold. We must cover most of the areas well to get an excellent Siegrist said. Th ose offices cover everything from academics to PR to chapter management. About three or four of the 212 chapters in the United States and Canada received the award each year, Siegrist said. We win the award through our programs throughout the year. We have to maintain the standards all year round, Siegrist said. We can ' t just cover things up when the consultant gets here. The fraternity had a strong program. For the past five years, they remained in the top quartile of K-State fraternity gradepoint averages as they maintained a collective GPA that averaged around 3.0. The members also became involved in the community by participating in events with children associated with Special Olmpyics and Big Brothers and Big Sisters of Manhattan Inc. Besides academics and service, the fraternity was also evaluated for their campus involvement and alumni support. Siegrist said his chapter had the record for the longest consecutive winning streak. For 18 years, we ' ve excellence in our chapter, he said. It ' s a big motivational factor — kind of an inbred of what we have to uphold through our members and alumni. It ' s kind of a weight on our until we win the next one. 410 lambda chi alpha Lambda Chi Alpha zimmer kleiber Kleiber, Adam Hillsboro Mechanical Engineering FR Kleinschmidt, Jeffrey Lincolnville Construction Science SO Koelliker, Dan Manhattan Architectural Engineering SR Korte, Ryan Highland, Ill.

Ramin president of the fraternity and senior in construction science and management, said only a few women ' s teams showed interest in playing. This year we had to cut out the division because there were only four teams that signed up. Last year we had 12, Cherafat said. Mark Allen, Phi Delt chairman and junior in marketing, said he was not by the women ' s teams ' lack of interest. We had the tournament later in the year, after people were done with (intramural) flag football, and there wasn ' t as much interest in it for the women ' s teams, Allen said. Guys are always interested in playing — there was just a stronger interest from the guys ' side than the girls ' . With 18 teams in the the fraternity raised $2,300 for amyotrophic lateral sclerosis, or Lou Gehrig ' s disease, the Phi Delt national philanthropy. Cherafat said this an increase of nearly 50 percent over last year. Having a flag-football was a fitting way to raise money for Lou Gehrig ' s disease, Barton Vance, junior in said. Not only is the tournament for a good cause, but it develops competition and sportsmanship similar to what Lou Gehrig brought to the field, which is why we do it, Vance said. Because Gehrig, a 1930s New York Yankees first baseman, was a Phi Delt, the philanthropy was a way for the fraternity to help in the search for a cure for the Vance said. A goal of the fraternity is to try to find a cure, not only because he was our brother, but because it affects thousands of people, he said. Cherefat said the Phi Delts sponsored the tournament for 15 years. Fraternity members found the tournament preferable to ask- ing for donations. It ' s a lot easier to sponsor a fun event like this that works for a good cause, rather than going door to door and asking for money, Vance said. It ' s fun for all the participants and people who work on it, he said. It ' s self-satisfying because you know at the end it ' s going for a fellow brother. A goal of the fraternity is to try to find a cure, not only because he was our brother, but because it affects thousands of people.

Phi Gamma Delta fraternity members from both schools joined together Oct. 6 for the Fiji Run for Leukemia, which started as a tribute to K-State Fiji Rod Morgan, who died of as a student in 1974. Members from both chapters ran the football used in the K-State KU game from Manhattan to Lawrence. It shows good relations of brotherhood between our two schools that we get together and socialize before and after this really competitive game, Adam Gaines, president and junior in management, said. We joke around with each other depending on which team wins, but it is a lot of fun. The event showed that the served as a bond between rivals, Casey Carlson, sophomore in business administration, said. It was fun to meet guys who are in the same fraternity but from a different school, he said. We all had a good time together. Pledges and donations were collected from area businesses and Fiji members ' friends and relatives. It was a fun thing to do for such a good cause, Brent Mayginnes, freshman in arts and sciences, said. It was definitely good for our house and our that we joined together with the KU chapter to help raise money for a good cause. Trevor Williams, junior in journalism and mass communications, said the run involved all members from both schools. We start in Manhattan or Lawrence, depending on the site of the game, and stagger cars with four or five members in each car along the route, and each member runs the ball until a new car is reached, Williams said. The game ball used in the run was donated to the two chapters by football coach Bill Snyder and Phi Gamma Delta alumnus. The run started at 8 a.m. in Manhattan and ended in KU ' s Memorial Stadium in time for the 7 p.m. kickoff We basically played leap frog from one car to the next with each person running about 50 to 100 yards, and then we would hand off to the next runner until it was our turn again, Brian Shaw, in pre-health professions, said. Following the run, participants presented a check to the Society for America, based in Wichita, during the pre-game festivities. We set our goal at $22,000 for this year ' s event, and we reached that, Williams said. It is a lot of fun to put on this philanthropy because regardless of rain or shine, we still run the game ball to the town in which the game will be played, he said. It is for a worthwhile cause, which makes doing it even that much more special. It was definitely good for our house and our chapter that we joined together with the KU chapter to help raise money for a good cause.

Jay Smajda, senior in secondary education, said the Phi Taus had anniversary celebrations five years to ensure alumni would be interested in returning to the house. Josh Nelson, freshman in arts and sciences, said the house past presidents and alumni to the April 28-29 event. It gives the alumni a chance to see the house and a lot of people they haven ' t seen in a long time, Nelson said. We try to show them how the house has improved over the years. The house alumni had lived in and the regulations they lived by underwent many changes through the years, Nelson said. We have the oldest house on campus, he said, We really had to do some reconstruction to the basement after the flood (of 1993). The anniversary celebration provided an opportunity for alumni to observe changes. Several of them have told us they haven ' t seen the house and that they didn ' t live in the house we ' re in now, Nelson said. They ' ll be able to see how we live now and how we keep the standards up to how they were. To add formality to the events such as a banquet and tours of campus and the house were scheduled. We decided to make it formal because the alumni wanted it to be something special, Nelson said. At the banquet, members planned to give awards to several alumni. Award winners were to include the individual who had traveled the farthest, the oldest alumnus and the alumnus who helped the house most the years, Smajda said. New members would find the event a positive one, Nelson said, because they would have an to learn from the alumni ' s experiences in the It will give them a chance to see what kind of people came out of the house, Nelson said, and their standing in the community will show how they used the skills they learned in the house. phi kappa tau leonard benson Phi Kappa Theta family weekend phi kap members sponsor raffle by Jamie Bush Forty sets of parents and their families converged at the Phi Kappa Theta house for food, fun and relaxation on Family Weekend, Nov. 19-20. Activities got under way at 5 p.m. Saturday as guests and Phi Kap members attended the State football game. The group then returned to the fraternity house to have socialize and sponsor a raffle. After the game, we hosted a raffle to raise money for the fraternity and as a way to socialize more with all the families, JeffWilcox, Phi Kap president and senior in marketing, said. Money raised was used in to purchase a new laser printer for the chapter house. The goal this year was to get $600, and we met that goal, Wilcox said. After dinner and the raffle, Wilcox said, some of the parents and Phi Kaps went to Aggieville, while others stayed at the house and socialized. Jason Miller, junior in pre-dentistry and biology, and Brian Till, sophomore in architecture, said they were impressed with the turnout. This year was a lot more organized, primarily because of all the hard work our vice president had done, Miller said. The turnout was good. Another positive aspect of the weekend was that parents learned about the fraternity. I thought it was a great way for parents to learn how the house worked, Till said, and (it) some of the new guys to get to know each other better.

The Pi Beta Phi sorority a new program, Sisters Against Drunk Driving, to make sure sister got home safely. The two to three women in each room were responsible once or twice a semester for the phone, taking people places and picking people up. Kara Rogers, sophomore in journalism and mass started the program. I hoped that it wouldn ' t drinking, Rogers said. We promote responsible behavior. We want them to feel comfortable calling and getting a ride home from someone they know and trust. SADD ran from 11 p.m. to 2:30 a.m. Thursday through The program is used every night that it runs, Claudine Miller, senior in journalism and mass communications, said. The biggest worry house had about the program was not having enough time to be on call, Liz Ring, junior in history, said. I was a part of the opposition at first, Ring said. I ' m busy on campus and didn ' t feel I had the time to sit by the phone and wait, but after I saw what it did, I saw that it was really a good, safe alternative. Safety was the main idea the program. SADD would pick up anyone from anywhere, whether from Aggieville or the K-State Union. Rogers said women who weren ' t drinking also used it as a way home. The idea for SADD came from other chapters nationwide. Last spring, Rogers met with chapter advisers and a lawyer to work out the program. Other Pi Phi chapters around the country use the program, and I thought that it might work here at Rogers said. Response to the program was mostly positive. No one really hates doing it because you ' re helping out others in the house, Sara Mertz, sophomore in elementary said. It ' s really good we ' re taking responsibility for our actions.

Art SO crime victims pike house broken into during break by the Royal Purple staff Pi Kappa Alphas returned from winter break to discover their house had been broken into and vandalized. I spent 10 minutes trying to get into the house with my key but couldn ' t, Eric Stonestreet, senior in sociology, said. So, I crawled in a window. All I could see was the pop machine. That ' s when I knew something was wrong. It was destroyed. After I realized the house had been broken into, I called 911 and flipped on all the lights and went to get my firearm out of the safe in my room, he said. That ' s when I noticed that the light in my room was on. When he burst into the room, he tripped over his toolbox. They had used my tools to break into all of the rooms of the house, Stonestreet said. Personal belongings were found lying in bags in the hallways. The burglars weren ' t after big stuff, he said. They were after things that could fit into a bag or backpack. After two police officers arrived and confirmed there were no in the house, they searched outside and found a suspect. Bullets belonging to Stonestreet linked the man to the crime, Stonestreet said. Police continued to investigate whether other intruders in the break-in, Capt. Allen Raynor of the Riley County Department said. The Pike house wasn ' t the only house burglarized during winter break. Intruders also struck Acacia and Phi Kappa Theta fraternities. The police think the only way they could ' ve gotten in was through a laundry-room Steve Collins, Acacia and junior in accounting, said. Among the items stolen from Acacia were three mountain bikes, a portable compact-disc player, a book bag, two car amplifiers and one car stereo. Members ' losses ranged from $300 to $400 each, Steve Collins, Acacia member and junior in accounting, said. The house damages will be paid for through the fraternity ' s insurance, he said, but our own things have to be paid for through homeowners ' insurance or our parents. Phi Kap members reported similar occurrences. The pop machines were destroyed for the money inside of them, and our things were in bags by the door, like they were coming back later to get them, Justin DeMoss, Phi Kap member and freshman in psychology, said. Although Phi Kap and Acacia also reported theft and vandalism, Eric Pack, Pike member and in journalism and mass communications, said his fraternity suffered the most from the holiday break-ins. We were definitely the house with the worst damage, Pack said. There wasn ' t one square inch that wasn ' t touched. They had used my tools to break into all of the rooms of the house .

The dancers competed against black greeks from Oklahoma, Southwest Missouri State and Missouri State universities in the fourth-annual Neak Frasty step show Nov. 5 at Bramlage Stepping is originally derived from African dance, Omar Davis, president of Alpha Phi Alpha fraternity and sophomore in landscape architecture, said. Using African dance traditions as a foundation, step-show the moves they would perform. It ' s just like cheerleading in a sense, Shanta Snell, member of Alpha Kappa Alpha sorority and junior in elementary education, said. You have to get together and practice the routine. Preparing for the step show meant hours of intense Snell said. You have to make noise with your own body, clapping hands, foot stomping and hitting your body with your hands, Snell said. I cried learning this stuff For the past four years, the men of Alpha Phi Alpha organized the step show. It ' s becoming more popular, so the quality and quantity of participants has improved, Snell said. Two sororities, AKA and Delta Sigma Theta, and two fraternities, Phi Beta Sigma and Omega Psi Phi, participated in the event. Kay King, member of AKA and senior in modern languages, said the eight members of her sorority ' s step team practiced three to four hours every day for three weeks. The AKAs placed second in the competition. The women of Delta Sigma Theta from Oklahoma State University placed first. Omega Psi Phi fraternity of K-State also placed second. They were defeated by the men of Phi Beta Sigma from Southwest Missouri State University. Kevin Colon, academic adviser for the football program at and one of the judges for the step show, said the participants were judged on showmanship, creativity, precision and They also were given a time limit of eight to 15 minutes. Proceeds from the step show went toward the Alpha Phi Alpha scholarship fund. The fund supported the Thurgood Marshall Scholarship Award, which was presented to a male and female college student and to a male and female senior in the spring The year ' s performances ended, as was the tradition, with a of sounds known as the power step, Snell said. Everything we do has to it, she said. With a power step at the end, you ' re really stomping and music with hands, feet, legs — whatever it takes. A member of the Delta Sigma Theta shows her sorority ' s sign at Neak Frasty. Hours of intense practice helped prepare the members for the competition.

The fraternity members the People Understanding the Severely Handicapped, or PUSH, program, which involved community service and raising money and awareness for disabled children. To raise awareness, fraternity members conducted their annual pole sit in the free-speech zone outside the K-State Union, Chris Zelch, sophomore in secondary education, said. Members of the fraternity sat on top of the pole for five days for a total of 100 hours in September. The pole sit got people ' s We handed out pamphlets and information, but mainly it gave awareness to disabled kids through people ' s curiosity, James Wolf, junior in computer science, said. The pole sit raised about $100 in public donations and additional money from sponsors who the event, Zelch said. For a $35 to $40 fee, sponsors were able have their names on T-shirts given out during the week. For the community-service part of the PUSH program, the hoped to volunteer time to help the Big Lakes Development Center, which offered a school and day-care program for the handicapped. The fraternity also sponsored a mountain-bike race in early The second-annual race was on a three-fourths mile course at the Tuttle Creek Spillway Cycle Area, southeast of the Tuttle Creek Dam and Reservoir. About 30 cyclists participated in the mountain-bike race, which raised $150 for PUSH. The ranged in ages from 14 to 25, but most were college Bill Ryan, senior in engineering, said. People entered in one of three race categories — beginner, intermediate and expert. Ryan, a race participant, said although it was his first race, he placed fifth in the intermediate division.

I think we ' ve got the best location of any fraternity on Ben Stout, senior in education, said. With campus just across the street, SAEs had only a short to travel. It ' s cool because I can get to anywhere on campus in five or 10 Stout said. I can sleep in a little bit longer, slap on a cap and be out the door and on my way. The of the to campus was even more appreciated during winter months. As you see people walking six blocks and freezing t heir tails off, you kind of appreciate it, Jim Boomer, freshman in business administration, said. Billy Dunn, SAE president and senior in construction science, said the house ' s location was a plus to prospective members. I was the rush chairman last year, and that ' s a big selling point — especially for engineering because Durland Hall is right across the street, Dunn said. Being next-door neighbors with the Farmhouse fraternity was also a chance for some fun and competition. The Farmhouse guys would go on their roof with bottle-rocket launchers, and we ' d go on our deck and shoot back. It was a lot of fun, Stout said. Two years ago and last year we were the fireworks house, but we got busted too many times, so we had to stop. The fun didn ' t stop with Sometimes they ' ll be outside, and we ' ll start chucking snowballs at them, Dunn said. One time we were throwing snowballs for two hours. With all of the traffic on Denison Avenue, the house ' s was important, Stout said. Sometimes the front yard was an important indication of what the house was like. People drive by and see us out in the front yard having fun all the time, and I think that ' s a very positive thing, he said. Members who did not live in the fraternity didn ' t let their status interfere with keeping in touch with the members, Stout said. I think the one thing that really helps that is ifany ofthe guys want to, they can drive to the house, park there and walk to class, Stout said. So, if anything, it ' s good because it keeps them involved with the house. But the fraternity ' s location wasn ' t its most important aspect, Dunn said. The members ' and the friendships developed were what truly mattered. Like with anything, usually there ' s got to be the match with the personalities, Dunn said. But if one person is comparing our house to another, and he really likes the guys in both, he might choose our house because of its location.

The alumni came back, some of who were the first members of the house, Cory Mitchell, in architectural said. It was special because so many cared to come back for a weekend. David Harrison, sophomore in engineering, said it was to meet the chapter ' s founders. It was interesting to see the history of the house, to see how involved others were and how they went through the house, and to know what it ' s done for he said. The speaker for the night was astronaut Greg Harbaugh, Sigma Chi alumnus and Purdue graduate. Harbaugh was named a Sig, an honorary title given to fraternity members who had distinguished themselves in their careers. Harbaugh logged 343 hours in space and flew on two space flights. While addressing the Sigma Chis, he explained why the house was important and how it had changed his life. I knew I was home, he said, speaking about the first time he walked into the fraternity house. There was no doubt about it. Members said Harbaugh ' s speech meant a lot to them. It was neat to see a Sigma Chi who was so successful, Brian Olsen, freshman in biology, said. It was good to know that he hadn ' t forgotten about the or our values. Kevin Kline, junior in therapy, said he also Harbaugh ' s presentation. The best part of the speech was when he showed actual of his spacewalk and Kline said. We were very honored to have him here at K-State. Members said they were also honored to be members of the 45-year-old fraternity. There is a lot of Harrison said. You realize that people are behind you whatever you do. People here reward you for your successes and console you for the failures. Olsen agreed. There is a great tradition on campus, and members take pride in the activities we are in, he said. We know we ' re part of a great fraternity. There is a lot of tradition.

The house was founded Nov. 18, 1874, at Colby College in Maine. To commemorate the founding, each chapter around the country had a Week of Giving. We call it the Week of Giving because that ' s when we do things that help others, Jeanine Dercher, junior in secondary education, said. Celebrated before or after the anniversary, the Week of Giving included a program about the house founders, Amy Neises, in apparel and textile said. During the month of the sorority also participated in its philanthrophies. Lick Alzheimer ' s was a nationwide program that raised money in an attempt to find a cure for the disease. The Sigma Kappas participated by selling lollipops on campus. We all took turns selling in the Union. A friend and I even went around to the sororities and fraternities selling them, Dercher said. Sorority members also participated in a program called the Maine Seacoast Mission, which provided items for needy people. Boxes are put in the and sororities for dry goods, Neises said. We send the stuff to people who live off the coast of Maine and don ' t have a Wal-Mart next door. We send the stuff they need in time for Christmas. The chapter was rewarded for its efforts with a letter. We got a note in the mail from a person that the Maine Mission helped, Dercher said. It was touching. They said they appreciated that they could count on us every year. It was neat because we never got a reaction before. The best part of the month ' s events was a sweatshirt, she said. What I thought was really neat was that one school in designed a sweatshirt, and all the other sororities around the country could buy them, Dercher said. The sweatshirts were designed to show what Sigma Kappa They displayed the sorority ' s flower and colors. I worked with a girl in Kansas City who had the same sweatshirt as I did, she said. It shows our sisterhood. 434 sigma kappa claerhout Sigma Kappa harrison painting white lines on the Manhattan High School football field at CiCo Park, Dennis Falder, Manhattan resident, the field for a powder puff football game.

The Hispanic community needed a support system, said Ian Bautista, founding member of Sigma Lambda Beta, the Hispanic fraternity, and graduate student in regional and We want to build role models and the ones that exist in and outside of our culture. Bautista said he believed the greek system aided in students and achieving a strong academic standing. There is a mystique joining a fraternity, and that is a huge motivator, he said. Once a student gets in, they work hard to maintain the position. Juan Vera, senior in accounting, emphasized academics as a vital step toward increasing the number of Hispanic students on campus. It is hard to start something new, and we have many college students, Vera said. We wanted to start this foundation to help students study for tests and succeed. Elsa Diaz-Bautista, founding member of Sigma Lambda Gamma, the first Hispanic sorority in and graduate student in administration, said she sought to offer support for students. I was thinking the Hispanic community at (K-State) needed support and educational Diaz-Bautista said. As an undergraduate, I always wanted to have a support group. Once we build it up here, we can leave it for others to come. Diaz-Bautista organized topical discussions and exercises to increase an understanding of different within the Hispanic culture. The sorority is culturally based. We learn about other and have a very unique group. We have students who are single mothers and married students, Diaz-Bautista said. We deal with cross-cultured issues. We have expanded topics from sexual orientation to self-defense courses and AIDS awareness. Building a quality program meant relying on long-term from the University and commitment and interest from students, Diaz-Bautista said. I think the University is supporting us. Our goal is to graduate our members. We want quality and not just to grow new members, she said. We want to grow to a productive size and to be able to turn around students in four years. Increasing knowledge of both organizations was a priority for founding members. We ' d like to see ourselves grow, Jose Ramirez, junior in architecture, said. One student said he chose partly because of the option of joining a Hispanic fraternity. When I was first looking at colleges, I wasn ' t interested in fraternities. Then I found that K-State had one of the first Hispanic fraternities in the state, Vi ctor Garcia, freshman in theater, said. I found that they understood me a lot more and what I had been through. The Hispanic community needed a support system. We want to build role models and utilize the ones that exist in and outside of our culture.

The sorority members didn ' t but around the men and encouraged them with chants. This activity was part of a weeklong celebration called Black Foot White Foot in which the two fraternities joined together to host events. The tradition began after James Frank Hopkins watched an Alpha Tau Omega pledging ceremony at Virginia Military Institute in Lexington, Va. Hopkins didn ' t like how the actives treated the pledges, Mike Voegtle, Sigma Nu social chairman and senior in architecture, said. One of our founders was in a pledging ceremony and witnessed a hazing event where the actives wore white sheets and black shoes, Voegtle said. He left and deemed them (ATOs) black foot and us white foot. Hopkins helped found Sigma Nu in 1869 at the Virginia Institute. Across the United States, ATO and Sigma Nu chapters in Black Foot White Foot to celebrate being founded at the same place. The K-State chapters had participated in the tradition for more than 10 years. Since the early ' 80s, we ' ve been having the party, Voegtle said. The ADPi house has feet painted that date back since 1983. The Monday feet painting the week ' s activities. The next day, the fraternities had a date dash at Bobby T ' s Restaurant ' n ' Bar. The members dressed up on Wednesday to formally invite their dates to Friday ' s party. We go to formal dinner and give them (the dates) a rose, Chad Brungardt, junior in construction science, said. No events were scheduled for Thursday so the members could relax before the Oct. 14 party. Since it was really close to Halloween, we had a costume party, Voegtle said. It was at the Houston Street Ballroom. It ' s usually one of our best parties of the year. Everyone looks forward to it. The next day, the weeklong celebration ended with an party at the Sigma Nu fraternity house. Voegtle said the activities brought members of the two houses into closer contact with each other. This year I was more involved and got to meet more of those guys (ATOs) and made some friends, he said. Brungardt said he hoped the tradition would continue. I look forward to it each year, he said. It ' s just a good time to get together and meet other people. I look forward to it each year. It ' s just a good time to get together and meet other people.

Everyone was in favor of it. He ' s been our best supporter, alumni wise, Nate Miles, house and in business administration, said. It ' s just us giving something back to him after all he ' s done for us. Judge Earle Wesley Frost, 1920 graduate and former member of Sigma Phi Epsilon, said the dedication was an honor. They put up a plaque with my name on it, Frost said. Danny Chiles, alumni and sophomore in business administration, said members the chapter room to pay respect for all Frost had done for the fraternity. The executive committee came up with the idea to dedicate the chapter in fall 1993, Chiles said. He has made a lot of donations to help out the chapter, Miles said. Frost served as national of the fraternity from Chiles said. He was also the first student body president in 1919. Frost visited the chapter room while en route to his family home in Marshall County. They gave me quite a royal welcome, he said. Frost said he was happy he was able to see the chapter room he did not travel much anymore. Members of the house the chapter room with new carpet and couches, put up a flag, painted the walls and hung a plaque with Frost ' s name and picture. Alumni such as Frost made the house possible, Chiles said. We dedicated the room to him because of everything he ' s done, he said. He ' s never left a stone unturned. People can relate to him for what he ' s done. People actually know why we dedicated the room to him — it ' s not like people say, ' who is this guy? ' We dedicated the room to him because of he ' s done.

We thought we had a really good rush this year. We got a lot of really good girls and hope to get even more in the spring to help build our numbers, Becki Blankenship, rush director and junior in secondary education, said. Building the number of house members was important after decreased four years ago, Debbie Gill, senior in journalism and mass communications, said. Our numbers declined four years ago when the seniors left because they were such a big class, and we didn ' t have a strong rush that year to replace them, she sa id. Dismissing members who did not meet the sorority ' s grade contributed to the decline, Cheryl Mann, senior in elementary education, said. One year, a pledge class had really bad grades, and the house took grade risks and lost a good portion of the pledges, she said. Pledge classes with many upper-class members lost people each year with graduation, she said. Sorority members said they believed the entire greek system experienced membership problems. Tri Sigma members said they thought the National Panhellenic Council ' s changes to rush helped increase their membership. No bursting really helped, Gill said. You got to concentrate on conversation skills instead of spending time practicing running out of the house screaming. Barb Robel, Greek Affairs said bursting was an activity in which members ran out of the sorority house to entertain before a rush party. Without bursting, rushees couldn ' t count how many were in each house, Blankenship said. Using the new rush rules weren ' t the only way Tri Sigmas tried to increase numbers. The best way to get your sorority recognized is to be seen together and get your name out on campus, Mann said. Although the Tri Sigmas their programs to increase numbers, they found advantages to being a smaller sorority. You know everyone, Blankenship said. You may not be best friends with them, but you know something about everyone. 444 sigma sigma_sigma Sigma Sigma Sigma zimbelman gwaltney Gwaltney, Laura Dodge City Anthropology SO Hammerschmidt, Gwen Hays Business Administration SO Heacock, Jennifer Overland Park Marketing JR Hoopes, Joanna Overland Park Environmental Design FR Hoots, Tammy Overland Human Dev.

In the past 14 years, the house won the all-University intramurals champion title 10 times. Although winning the title may have seemed routine for the TKEs, members worked to and team sports. As far as team sports, we have a try-out system where we try and get the best guys out there, Bryce Palmgren, junior in pre-medicine, said. Then, once we establish a team, the teams go out and practice a lot — at least three times a week, sometimes more, to really fine-tune everything. TKEs won the fraternity league title in football, the all-University title in basketball, the track meet, cross country meet and both the double and single indoor and handball titles. Recruiting house members for intramurals was n ' t a problem, Palmgren said. We don ' t apply any pressure or anything, he said. We just traditionally have a lot of guys who want to participate and who take a lot of pride in our intramurals. Guys don ' t mind giving up an hour or two at a time to become really good, and that is the key. About 75 percent of TKE members participated in intramural competition, Palmgren said. Intramurals gives us all a goal to look toward as a group — a main focus in things we are Jeff Tauscher, senior in accounting, said. Preston Barton, sophomore in economics, said the emphasis on intramural participation allowed him to continue with activities he was interested in before college. I felt that this was the house I would fit in with the best because they had some of the same that I did coming out of high school, Barton said. Intramurals was a source of for greek houses, Palmgren said. It seems like anybody on who plays a TKE and beats them takes a lot of pride in doing so, he said.

The Theta Xis took first in grades among fraternities for the eighth semester and 17 of the past 20 semesters. The members managed to maintain their grades without any mandatory study system. Basically, we are on the system, Rush said. When you have something going good, people want to keep it going. Individual discipline helped keep grades high. When you give people they tend to want to do good, Rush said. It ' s all selfmotivation. By placing first in grades, the fraternity earned bragging rights as well as designated drivers. Beta Theta Pi fraternity Theta Xi to see who would place first. When the Betas lost, they had to be designated drivers for the Theta Xis ' next party. Competition didn ' t end with grades. The house also placed first in all-fraternity football and second in intramural volleyball. There ' s a totally new attitude this year. We are a lot more Chris Hanson, Theta Xi president and sophomore in nuclear engineering, said. Take sports — we ' re all there cheering the team on. The successful finish in intramurals was exciting for the house, Jeremy McFadden, sophomore in fisheries and wildlife biology, said. This was really big, McFadden said. In the past, we ' ve never really done well. Brent Peterson, sophomore in engineering, said improvement in sports could be attributed to well-rounded rush classes. We like to rush people who did a lot of activities in high school, Peterson said. We are a small house with only a capacity of 46, so we can afford to be picky. New members were important to the fraternity, Rush said. The lifeblood of the house is rush, he said. We look for guys who have the personality. It over. Rush said the fraternity lost a lot of seniors, but the younger members were carrying on the house ' s traditions. We are getting really good, well-rounded guys in our house, McFadden said.

Or a brilliant man with files that might resolve questions about the assassina- tion of Presi- dent Kennedy. They called him Q. Thought to be in his 30s, Q was once a Tri- angle member and student, house said. The origin of his nickname was a mystery. He ' s kind of evasive about that, Zac Bailey, senior in biological and agricultural engineering, said. He moved in to help out about five years ago. I ' ve heard as many stories (about the origin of his nickname) as people who have asked him about it, Bailey said. He said he used to go barnstorming. His trademark was to crash into the side of barns and leave a hole in the shape of a Q. Some people said he got his name from ' Star Trek, the Next Generation. Members said Q was a little eccentric. One time he got a bunch of mannequins and dressed them up and put them around the house, Bailey said. He put them in people ' s beds and stuff. Q, who didn ' t want to be in- terviewed, was a hermit, Bailey said. When I was a pledge, some of the guys told me, ' Don ' t talk to him. He doesn ' t want to talk to you for three weeks. ' He just things like that, Bailey said. Mike Schnieders, sophomore in geology, said Q had a twisted sense of humor. Schnieders said he and Q started a house tradition. We have what ' s called Excess Friday, Schnieders said. We gorge ourselves on tons of food, and then we walk around the house giving away food, saying, to Excess Friday. ' Members said Q was a packrat who collected everything from old typewriters and skulls to mannequins. If you ever need to borrow anything, he ' s got it, he said. Members said they enjoyed having Q around because he served as a mentor and friend. He helped around the house by doing odd jobs and occasion- ally cooking meals. The thing about Q is he al- ways tells you the truth, Tim Peltzer, sophomore in computer engineering, said. He ' s one of the most brilliant people I know. Mysterious stories followed Q at every turn, as did nicknames. He ' s our house god, actu- ally, Greg Berger, sophomore in architectural engineering, said.

What ' s happening to our col- lege is that we ' re getting more full-time students, Jack Henry, dean ofK-State-Salina, said. The feeling is that if we get better fa- cilities, such as the new dorms and the college center, we can attract more students. K-State- Salina had re- sembled an old Air Force base, Henry said. But with the addi- tion of the col- lege center, which would serve as a stu- dent union, and two residence halls, that image was beginning to change to that of a traditional campus. Another addition planned for Salina ' s campus, Harbin Hall, wasn ' t slated to open until January 1996. The new residence hall, named for 1950 K-State graduate Bill Harbin, would be designed to hold either 68 or 100 beds. Changing K-State-Salina ' s campus was meant to help the College of Technology reach its goal of having 1,300 students within a few years, Jake Greenup, coordinator of student life, said. We ' ve got these goals to be one of the preeminent tech schools in the country, and we need to have more housing to do that. Thirty residence-hall applica- tions for the next year had already been turned in by January, Greenup said. K-State-Salina ' s first residence hall opened in the fall and was already filled to capacity by the spring. Jared Bohndorf, sophomore in geographic information systems, moved into the residence hall in the fall. Bohndorf said he didn ' t think suitable housing in Salina was too difficult to find. I ' m looking for an apartment for next semester, Bohndorfsaid. It looks like we ' ll have a pretty easy time getting one. However, Jim Keating, head of K-State-Salina ' s engineering technology department, said hous- ing options were limited in Salina when he joined the College of Technology. It ' s been two years since I was searching in that market, Keating said. There were houses able, but it wasn ' t what I wanted. Keating settled in Bennington, 20 miles north of Salina. In fact, Keating warned David Arnold, who was hired for the spring semester as a civil engineer- ing technology professor, about Salina ' s housing situation. When Arnold began his own housing search, he said Salina ' s housing situation looked bleak. It is tight, Arnold said. As soon as something comes open, it ' s snapped up. For Arnold, an opportunity did come along. It just happened that a gentle- man moved out, he said, and we were lucky enough to find out about it. Ben Fosse, junior in the profes- sional pilot program, found a house in Salina, where he lived with two roommates. It was hard to find a place, Fosse said. It took me a month, and I finally found, in a newspa- per, someone who was looking for a roommate. It took about a month to find a place that wasn ' t too expensive or a dump. Finding a suitable place to live in Salina was a two-edged sword, Greenup said. Desirable housing is hard to find, he said. I ' m sure that ' s true in any town. You can find a place to live, but it depends on how you want to live. The feeling is that if we get facilities, such as the new dorms and the college center, we can attract more students.

Life in Aggieville had its ups and downs, but some aspects of living near the weekend watering holes were positive. Vicki Campbell, second-year student in veterinary medicine, said she enjoyed living two blocks from Aggieville. It can get noisy if I want to stay home on a weekend night, but it ' s nice not to have to drive home if I go drink- ing, she said. I ' m a real advocate of not drinking and driving, and I know quite a few people who do, so it ' s nice to live so close. Living close enough to walk p laces was at- tractive to Leif Garretson, sophomore in psychology, who had lived three blocks from Aggieville for the past 2- 1 2 years. For me, it ' s a plus because living close to Aggieville, if you want to go to bars or to the Theatre, you don ' t have to worry about parking, he said. Julia Armstrong, junior in so- cial work who lived half a block from Aggieville, said she liked the easy access she had to both campus and the bars. If you like to go out, it ' s easy to go out, she said. And it gives you easy access to school. Armstrong said limited park- ing in the area was the only draw- back she noticed, but being able to walk to the bars was an advantage. My friends can all park here, and we can walk, so no one gets into trouble, she said. That way, everyone can have fun, there are no designated driv- ers, and we can walk home. Safety was not a concern, Campbell said, because Aggieville was frequently patrolled by police. I worry a little bit about van- dalism, like having something off our front porch, she said. Living near Aggieville wasn ' t much different from living else- where in Manhattan, said Armstrong, who ' d previously lived on Tuttle Creek Boulevard. There was just as much that went on there as happens here, she said. It ' s really quiet here. There were drawbacks to life near Aggieville. A negative side to it is if you live in Aggieville, the negative elements may come down your street, Garretson said. Tires were slashed on cars parked along Moro Street near Aggieville during winter break. Garretson said his tires were spared. Occasionally, if you have in- toxicated people walking down the street, you could have unruly behavior, he said. As a psychology major, Garretson said he hadn ' t given much thought to studying such behavior in his neighborhood, al- though he said there would be much to observe. I could be analyzing why you watch people driving in circles not meeting anyone, he said. You ' ll see large groups of high-school guys walking around who claim they ' re there to meet girls, but not too many girls walk up to eight guys in Starter jackets and say, ' Here ' s my number. ' above the site of the old Kite ' s Bar and Grille were renovated, and students began renting them during the 1993-94 school year. While living in Aggieville wasn ' t for everybody, some students enjoyed living amid the activity of Aggieville.

Questionnaires found in the roommate-search notebook asked students who were seeking a room- mate or a place to live everything from how important a clean apart- ment was to what qualities they looked for in a roommate. The notebook was moved in October from the Dean of Student Life office in Holton Hall to the Office of Student Activities and Services in the K-State Union to make the service mor e accessible. In the SGA office, people would come to us and say, ' I ' ve been evicted. What do I do? said Marisa Brown, Consumer Rela- tions Board chairwoman and se- nior in human development and family studies. Before, we didn ' t have any options for them. With the roommate notebook in the Union, options were more accessible to students than before. Kristi Harper, secretary in the Dean of Student Life Office, was in charge of the notebook for 2-1 2 years before it was moved to the Union. She said use of the note- book was sporadic. There ' s a big surge in summer and then at the end of the semes- ter, Harper said. It ' s hard to keep track of. People just don ' t bother coming back to let you know how it worked out. To use the service, students in search of either a roommate or a place to live completed a two- page roommate-selection sheet. Questions ranged from when a roommate was needed to charac- teristics of the housing available, the cost of living there and the number of roommates desired. Changes were made in the se- lection sheet by the CRB, Brown said, to protect the privacy ofthose who used the service. I didn ' t want anyone off the street to be able to come in and see who ' s using the notebook, Brown said. The person who ' s looking through it must ask for the name and phone number. Brown said people were some- times reluctant to use the service. I think people worry about what kind of people use this. I tell them, ' You ' ve got the number. Why don ' t you call them? Tricia Nolfi, coordinator of the Office of Student Activities and Services, said changing the loca- tion of the service brought some changes in the focus of the CRB. They ' ve been looking at changing the CRB to an off-cam- pus service organization rather than just a consumer service, Nolfi said. It seemed like a natural fit to have it in the Union. off campus blubaugh Blubaugh, LaneII McPherson Kinesiology JR Boden, Anna Simpson Finance JR Bohm, Mark Osborne Electrical Engineering JR Borgerding, Mark Blue Rapids Business Administration SR Bradford, David Manhattan Mechanical Engineering Bradford, Heather..

But those who wanted to leave the residence halls had to weigh the advantages of moving out against the cost to buy out the remainder of their contract. It cost $644 for me to break my contract, Cherish Starr, fresh- man in business administration, said. It was an awful lot ofmoney, but my parents said it would be worth it and paid for it anyway. Until four years ago, students living in residence halls had to provide the housing advisory board with financial documents or medi- cal statements in order to get out of their residence-hall contracts. This caused conflicts between students and the committee. The committee saw a need for change, so they researched other schools ' methods for can- celing dorm contracts and decided the buyout was the most consis- tent and fair, Bob Burgess, assis- tant director of the Department of Housing and Dining Services, said. The buyout was divided into two factors. The first factor was the number of days the student had stayed in the hall multiplied by the daily rate of their contract. The second factor was the num- ber of days remaining in the con- tract multiplied by the daily rate. The second factor was then mul- tiplied by 40 percent. Cost kept some students from breaking their contracts. Travis McIntire, junior in ani- mal sciences and industry, said the buyout was an expensive option. by Amy Smith The big fee you have to pay is the reason that makes you think twice about breaking your con- tract, said McIntire, who chose to move in with his brother and a friend after his brother got out of the Army. The only way for the housing and dining services not to lose funds and still let students move out was to create the buyout, Bur- gess said. Just this year we ' ve done away with an additional $100 cancella- tion fee residents used to have to pay, he said. just this year we ' ve done away with the additional $100 cancellation fee.

The gist of it is to let people know about fraternities, Mike McRee, Interfraternity Council presi- dent and senior in psychology, said. The pur- pose of the fo- rum, which took place Sept. 28 on the front lawn of the K-State Union, wasn ' t just to recruit new members, but to provide students chance to learn about fraternity life, M cRee said. We encourage all individuals to look at a lot of different houses to get a better idea of what greek life is about, McRee said. Members from the fraternities provided basic information about activities and philanth ropies they supported, their grade-point av- erage requirements and expenses. They ask about the fraternities in general and the fraternity system, said David Denning, Sigma Nu rush chairman and sophomore in pre-law. Also, they ask about study hours and meal plans. McRee, who helped start the forum, said the National Conference, which over- saw all IFCs, encouraged all to have an informational rush forum. The Fraternity Forum, spon- sored by the Interfraternity was started in fall 1993, McRee said. During the first year, only one forum was organized. In its second year, two were organized, one during the fall and another during the All-University Open House in April. Fraternity participation was voluntary, but the majority of fraternities participated, McRee said. Plans included adding Hispanic and black greeks to the forums. It ' s a great way to get your fraternity ' s name out to students. It ' s more important to the campus in general, not a certain house, Denning said. It gets guys into the greek system and gets rid of stereotypes. It also helps get rid of some of the intimidation. Another important advantage of the forum, McRee said, was being able to educate non-greeks about the system. Some students aren ' t very educated about fraternities, and some don ' t know anything at all. That ' s why they set the forum up, said Mike Parisi, Pi Kappa Alpha rush chairman and junior in hotel and restaurant management. It also gets boys on the border- line to sign because the guys who go to the forum who usually want to rush are in between wanting in a fraternity and not wanting in one. Some students were too timid to approach fraternities because of stereotypes, Denning said. Sometimes we get a bad rap and are labeled with an ' Animal House ' image because of a few bad incidents, he said. Even incidents that didn ' t oc- cur on K-State ' s campus affected the image of the greek system as a whole, he said. Jeff Gill,Theta Xi rush and sophomore in geology, said it was important to dispel these stereotypes. It is important that people see past the fraternity image, that people can talk to us and see that we ' re nice guys, he said. The forums were invaluable for the information they provided, McRee said. They can see the benefits of greek life, McRee said. There are opportunities for leadership, ways to get involved and a chance to make friends for life. Some students aren ' t very cated about and some don ' t know thing at all. That ' s why they set the forum up.

Although women had been escorts for the various services at Haymaker, West, Ford, Putnam and Moore halls, this was the first year the escort services officially arranged teams consisting of a male escort and a female escort. West Hall had about 18 to 20 women who volunteered their time. It makes it a lot easier and more comfortable for the women being escorted than having some guy you don ' t know show up to walk you across campus, Scott Hagemeister, Haymaker escort service coordinator and sopho- more in sociology, said. Nearly all the students who called for the service were women, Hagemeister said. It provides a comfort level for the women who use the service to have another woman walking with them, Michelle Black, West Hall director, said. Generally, it ' s someone in the building that they already know, and it ' s comforting to recognize a familiar face. Escorts were available 24 hours, but if they were need ed after mid- night, it was preferred that ar- rangements were made in advance, Black said. West provided about 20 to 30 escorts during a week. Mondays, Tuesdays and Wednesdays were the high times because ofthe large number ofnight classes on those days, Black said. Volunteers weren ' t allowed to carry weapons or escort anyone while intoxicated, she said. Es- corts were not to use the program to find dates. It isn ' t a dating service, said Karla Gebhardt, chairwoman of West ' s escort program and sopho- more in psychology. The men or women providing the escorts shouldn ' t ask who they are escort- ing out or ask those who are work- ing with them out. It ' s not a social time. They ' re supposed to treat it like a job. As a safety precaution, Gebhardt said, escorts carried identification and a flashlight, and each escort had to check in and out so the residence-hall staff knew when to expect the escort to return. Providing safety was the pri- mary function of the escorts, Hagemeister said. We don ' t want someone showing up try- ing to be a hero and throw themselves in front of an at- tacker. They ' re not the Secret Service, Hagemeister said. But we ' ve never had anything happen that would warrant such a defense. Escort ser- vices were used more than the previous year, Black said. The hall governing boards and halls are really pushing it, she said. Why provide an opportunity for something bad to happen? You shouldn ' t take the risk if you don ' t have to. off campus 465 of the students who used the escort service were women. West Hall provided 20 to 30 es- corts each week. Mondays, Tuesdays and Wednesdays were peak hours for the service be- cause of the large number of night cla sses on those days, Michelle Black, West Hall said.

All future residents were sent letters in June, July and the first of that the construction might not be complete, Deb Taylor, property manager of Chase Manhattan Apartments, said. They were given the options to break their leases or to wait it out with us. The future residents could break their contracts and have their de- posits returned, stay with friends or rela- tives or stay at a hotel and pay the equivalent of their rent until the apart- ments were fin- ished. Chase Manhattan Apartments offered students rooms at the Best Western Continental Inn until complexes were com- pleted Sept. 14. They told us the apartments would be ready by Sept. 1, but we didn ' t end up moving in until the middle of September, Mike Neimann, junior in mechanical engineering, said. It was a hassle because I didn ' t have a driver ' s license, and I had some 8:30 classes, while my roommate had 11:30 classes. I ended up missing a lot of classes because I had no way to get there. Taylor said she believed a lot of frustration was caused by the fu- ture residents hoping their apart- ments would be finished Aug. 1. We would all become greatly disappointed each time a new completion date came and went, Taylor said. Taylor said part of the reason for the delay was because after the summer flooding of 1993, con- struction workers and materials were in demand all over the Mid- west in summer 1994. Despite the inconvenience, Taylor said, many future residents were understanding about the delayed completion dates. Others understood the and decided that they wanted the security of having an available apartment when they returned to school, Taylor said. Many of the future residents stayed at the hotel, but Kathy Kippes, senior in elementary edu- cation, stayed with friends. My friends wouldn ' t let me stay at the Best Western — they wanted me to stay with them, Kippes said. Despite the inconvenience, some residents still thought living out of a suitcase was worth it. Chase is a nice place to live, Steve Toedter, junior in sociology, said. It is conveniently located, and I think it was worth the wait. 466 off campus Off Campus heinold johnson Heinold, Natalie Hays Art Helms-Martinez, Patricia ....

But Suryadi Oentoeng thought it was offensive. Oentoeng, senior in manufac- turing systems engineering from Surbaya, Indonesia, was confused and offended after helping push another student ' s car that had be- come stuck in deep snow. After we pushed him out, he turned his car around, and when he drove by, he gave us the thumbs-up sign, he said. I was shocked. In Indonesia, a thumbs-up sign was the equivalent of flipping someone off in the United States, Oentoeng said. While his experience may have been unique, the culture shock Oentoeng said he felt was not uncommon for international stu- dents attending the University. Salvador Osorio, senior in mar- keting, said he was amazed at the amount of space in Kansas, com- pared with his home country. A native of Spain, Osorio went from living in a 1,500-person apart- ment building in downtown Madrid to a farm in Little River as part of a high-school exchange program in 1989. The first thing I did is walk around the house and look for neighbors, he said. It was like being in an ocean. In Madrid, all I could see was apartments. Despite the differences, Osorio chose to stay in Kansas. I met some very interesting people, so I wanted to stay, he said. They were friendly and made me feel at home. The friendly, relaxed in Kansas was one reason Tali Cohen, graduate s tudent in architecture, said she decided not to return to Tel Aviv, Israel, after she completed her bachelor ' s de- gree requirements. Generally, the most impor- tant thing is that people are nice and po lite here. I was impressed by that when I came, she said. It was very nice to discover this rather than living in a tense situation like in Israel. After adapting to the time-con- scious culture in the United States, readjusting to the culture in when visiting was difficult, Oentoeng said. People at home are more relaxed. It ' s more organized here — every- thing is on a schedule, he said. I was kind of sur- prised when I went back home, and I had to get adjusted to living there again. Osorio said he agreed. I don ' t see my family the same way I used to. I now am able to see them from the out- side, and it is totally differ- ent. Despite the cultural differ- ences between Spain and the United States, there were many parallels between the two countries, Osorio said. I think there are more similarities than differences, he said. My has taught me that by going away from a culture, you can learn more about it than if you stay. Oentoeng, senior in manufacturing engineering, watches the San Diego Chargers take on the Pittsburg Steelers in the televised game that determines who will go to the Super Bowl.

I ' m not a big fan of Aggieville, so I don ' t need to stay here to go out on weekends. Long-distance relationships or family ties caused other students to leave campus. I go to Lawrence to see my boyfriend or to see my mom in Wichita. I ' ve probably only been here three weekends the whole semester, Marisa Brown, senior in human development and studies, said. I have a sister up here who ' s a freshman. She gets homesick. So, we take my car and go home. Although Brown didn ' t spend much time in Manhattan, she said she didn ' t think she missed out on much. I ' ve been here for four years. Going out gets old after four years, but I still go out sometimes on Thursday night, she said. I ' m still involved in campus, and I ' m in a (sorority) house. After I ' m on campus all week long, I need to get out of here. Stolte said he experienced some benefits from going home every weekend. Ultimately, I ' m saving money, he said. I don ' t drive my car at all during the week. I spend a little more on gas traveling 50 miles here, but I shop when I ' m at home — so, my mom kind of helps me out. Brown said although her dad paid for her gas, other weekend expenses added up. I always eat out in Lawrence, and it ' s expensive after three days in a row, Brown said. I have to pay the toll each way every time, too. It ' s only 75 cents, but when you think about it, it really adds up. Michelle Baker, sophomore in journalism and mass said she went home to Wichita two or three times a month during the first semester of her freshman year. I was a freshman, and I was homesick. I guess I was trying to adjust to school, Baker said. But now I ' m fine— I never go home. With high-school friends away at other colleges, the excitement of going home for the weekend soon dwindled, Baker said. in Manhattan on weekends changed her opinion of K-State. I like K-State a lot better than I did my first semester, she said. I wish I would ' ve stayed up at school more. I think I would ' ve done better that first semester, and I think I would have liked K-State better. Jennifer Unruh, sophomore in used to leave every weekend to visit her boyfriend or her dad. I used to spend a bundle on gas money. My grades are much better now because I ' m more on school. Plus, people here are always studying, so I feel like I should be, too, Unruh said. I ' m only here four years. I ' m glad I decided to spend the time with my friends. I like K-State a lot better than I did my first semester. I wish I would ' ve stayed up at school more. I think I would ' ve done better that first semester, and I think I would have liked K-State better. Michelle Baker, sophomore in journalism and mass communications off campus 475 Off Campus richard equal access ramirez construction improves campus, city by Brooke Graber and Ashley Schmidt The University joined the City of Manhattan in paving the way for handicap-friendly side-walks and buildings. The City of Manhattan was forced to make some changes after losing a lawsuit to Lewis Tobie Tyler, Manhattan resident, in July. Tyler sued the city because he had trouble around Manhattan in his wheelchair. complying with the Americans with Disabilities Act began soon after the lawsuit. ADA ensured that the rights of disabled citizens were protected. ADA-regulated construction also began on campus. included making Eisenhower and Calvin halls to students who were physically disabled. Student Body President Jeff Peterson, confined to a since he was a freshman in high school, said he was pleased with how accessible the was. Calvin and Eisenhower are two key buildings having deans ' offices located there, Peterson said. If there are any other like that that haven ' t been fixed, I ' m not aware of them. Mark Taussig, University architect, said he the importance of designing wheelchair-accessible buildings. It ' s kind of a difficult when you ' re in a building and you can ' t use the facilities, he said. The major projects we will see is making bathrooms and lowering the fountains. Kenny Lynch, senior in psychology, had been confined to a wheelchair for almost six years. He agreed the University ' s classes and buildings were accessible. The first day of class, says ' a wheelchair, ' ” Lynch said. But once they get to know me, it is fine. He said he often had to sit at the back of classes because his would not f it through the aisles leading to the front of the room, or there were no ramps. Sitting at the back sometimes was frustrating because students would often talk, he said. To compensate, he watched to see who sat in the front row in case he needed notes. Lynch said people readily volunteered to take notes for him. Most everybody will help if they can, he said. Lynch wanted his presence to dispel stereotypes. I have a disability that you can see, he said. Everyone has a handicap, but you can see mine. He said he didn ' t use the shuttle system for physically disabled students because he often had back-to-back classes and found the shuttle too slow. His mother drove him to and he used an electric cart to maneuver more easily on campus sid ewalks. Since he was a psychology major, he spent much of his time in Bluemont Hall. He said he thought Bluemont was one of the most wheelchair-accessible Karen Lynch, Kenny ' s mother, said one of the few problems Kenny faced on campus concerned parking. The worst thing is people parking in handicapped parking spaces, she said. That makes me so mad. She stressed the fact that most people treated Kenny like else. Nobody goes out of their way to make things special, which is what we want, Karen Lynch said. We don ' t want special rights — want equal rights. That is what we demand. “I have a disability that you can see. Everyone has a handicap, but you can see mine.” Kenny Lynch, senior in psychology Ramirez, Guillermo Manhattan Secondary Education SO Ramsey, Tiffin Mulvane Biology SR Razo, Andre Hutchinson Architecture SR Rebold, Bryan Udall Business Administration SO Reder, Chad Atchison Agricultural Tech.

Every Landon had a formal portrait taken as a memento. (Photo by Todd Feeback) News of the mysterious death of Ross Taton, the sophomore in engineering found dying of a stab wound near his first-floor room in Goodnow Hall Jan. 9, shocked students returning from winter break. Although authorities had not determined whether Taton ' s wound was the incident heightened fears of campus crime and led to greater safety precautions. But the brutal Jan. 22 beating that brought Chris Reeves, junior in history, within minutes of his life on his way through City Park, stirred further worries about crime. Stirring campus interest during the spring semester were several notable public figures. A packed McCain Auditorium crowd listened to Joe Clark, former principal of Eastside High School in Paterson, N.J., Feb. 15. Secretary of Defense William Perry ' s March 9 visit marked the University ' s 100th Landon and Timothy Leary, philosopher and counterculture legend, spoke March 14 in McCain. The March 2 addition of Sergei Khrushchev, son of former Soviet president Nikita Khrushchev, as a visiting professor, promised an inside look at Soviet history. Wanting an inside look at city government, Justin Kastner, junior in food science and industry, ran for Manhattan ' s City Commission and placed first in the Feb. 28 primary election with 2,469 of the 4,665 votes cast. Although the campus ' annexation meant students in residence halls could register to vote, only 43 did in the primary.

(Photos by Mark Leffingwell and Steve Hebert) (Continued from page 527) Campus became increasingly diverse, as 1,073 students representing 98 countries attended classes, and more than 4,857 students ofthe 18,658 in Manhattan, Salina, Academic Outreach and Fort Riley classes were considered — 25 and older or under 25 and married. The Union looked to ways to increase revenue, and in doing so, unveiled Subway Sandwiches Feb. 20 in the Union Recreation Area. It was the first fast-food restaurant to open in the Union. While the Union added something new, across the street in Anderson Hall, a relic from the past was taken from the hall ' s tower to be moved to another site on campus. The 513-pound Bluemont Bell , donated in 1861 to the University, then known as Bluemont College, had hung in the hall since 1892 and was rediscovered when a committee was in the bell tower inspecting damage from an Aug. 20, 1993, lightning strike. Another piece of campus history was the subject of controversy in early February when the University ' s Task Force recommended constructing a 1,250-space parking garage in Memorial Stadium, which was built to honor those who died in World War I. Whether involving a student running for City an expert on Soviet history or a chain sandwich shop in the Union, the changes students saw blurred the boundaries between campus and local, state and world communities. blurring the boundaries 528 closing
