April ' 95-March ' 96 Copyright 1996 ootball tailgate parties, concerts and campus organizations gave students opportunities to share the common core of K-State with each other regardless of where they lived, worked or studied. But in April the Manhattan-Junction City area shared information with the rest of the world. Following the bombing of the Alfred Murrah Federal Building in Oklahoma City, investigators made connections to Timothy McVeigh, a former Fort Riley soldier living arrested for his part in the bombing that lational I believed Manhattan to be examined by Michael Finnegan, professor of social anthropology and social work. Finnegan and other scientists used bone and teeth fragments to verify that the body buried at Mount Olivet Cemetery in Kearney, Mo., was James. Students returned to school in the fall to discover the core of campus remained under construction. Farrell Library and the Marianna Kistler Beach Museum of Art construction continued to give them a common headache with even more closed parking lots and detours around the closed Mid Campus Drive. Construction may have made getting around campus a hassle but communication with each other was easier than ever. More than 3,200 students started email UNIX accounts in the first weeks of school, up from 200 accounts the previous year. Colleges and universities faced a possible .85-percent charge on federal loans to students in a bill sponsored by Sen. Nancy Kassebaum, R-Kan. Students formed a core of resistance against the proposal that could have caused a $382,000 charge to K-State students who received federal loans.

(Photo by Gary Conover) -Opening- 3 (Continued from page 2) The University faced its own financial difficulties when enrollment figures fell to 20,476 --a drop of 188 students from last fall. The enrollment decrease meant a $986,000 cut in state funding for 1996, President Jon Wefald said in the State of the University address. Through the financial cuts, the common thread was that programs and financial aid could be in danger. t I t H . a record number of fans attended the last tball tjdfcts % M Ma lied I f I the ' ! lt s Minia Vr- I i ( l StucHthletes, coaches and the community found a common core created in the memories of the highest ranked football team in school history. With the University of Kansas and K-State ranked in the top 10 nationally, the intrastate rivalry became stronger than ever. Meanwhile, students and alumni faced problems when police cracked down on alcohol at tailgate parties in the parking lots outside KSU Stadium. Parking patrols began confiscating alcohol from students and alumni after the second home game, removing the core of many tailgate parties. However, alcohol in the K-State Union became a common sight following a spring 1995 Union Governing Board decision allowing 3.2 beer to be sold in Union Station and the recreation center. For the first time women were seen on the fourth floor of Marlatt Hall. The all-male residence hall provided temporary housing for more than 80 female students during renovations to the first and second floors of Goodnow Hall. In September the women moved from Marlatt to Moore and Ford halls for the remainder of the year. As the campus adjusted to the national spotlight, falling enrollment and different alcohol policies, students found a common core in a changing university and the end of an era.

Real-life challenges faced students when they volunteered to participate in Relay for Life, the all-night benefit walk for cancer victims, and worked as court-appointed assistants for children. Productions at McCain Audito- rium like Jesus Christ Superstar and Cinderella helped students working behind the scenes and those watching in the audience find a common cultural core. Soap operas not only dominated afternoon programming, but also students ' time as devoted fans struggled to keep updated. Different interests bound students together in a tightly-knit group that shared a common core of K-State. CORE.

Many students continued to drink at tailgate parties in spite of the warnings and fines.

After the second home football game, the University began enforcing a Kansas law prohibiting alcohol consumption on state property. We were informed if we saw any party balls or kegs to notify our supervisor, Brian Neill, stadium parking director and junior in business administration, said. If we see any open beer cans, we ' re supposed to tell them to put it in a cup. The K-State Police and the Riley County Police Department patrolled the parking lots looking for small containers. Ronnie Grice, campus police director, said fans were left alone if consumption was not conspicuous. Chris Ohm, senior in agricultural economics, and his friend, Lawrence Andre, K-State alumnus, said they were stopped at the gate and asked not to bring a keg into the parking lot. Andre said it was acceptable for police to keep kegs out of the lot because they encouraged excessive drinking, but he disagreed with banning all alcohol. There ' s no way they can shut this down, Andre said. We do it right. They should be proud of it. Ohm thought beer should have been available to buy at KSU Stadium.

Just think how much money they could make if they sold beer out here. Angie Pviggs, junior in management, said the alcohol policy did not affect her. I don ' t associate tailgating and drinking together, she said. I ' ve tailgated, but I never drank. Grice said the law banning alcohol had been around for years, but had not been aggressively enforced. Allowing alcohol in the lots had encouraged fans to attend games, he said. We ' re not discouraging tailgating at all, Grice said. You don ' t have to be full of spirits to be full of spirit for K-State football. by Lisa Elliot I -Tailgating- 7 d e d i c a t d the limits am pushes the body b e x p e r i e n i o n ater warriors Golden rays sparkled across the water as the sun began to rise. Suddenly, the roar of a boat engine shattered the silence as a skier emerged from the water. I like to begin skiing at 6:30 a.m., Travis Teichmann, ski team vice president and senior in construction science, said. The recreational skiers are not around and it is quieter and easier to practice. Most members had never competed before joining the team, Travis Pape, ski team president and senior in milling science and management, said. Most of them were recreational skiers, Pape said. I would say probably about 80 percent. Inexperienced team members learned skills during practice. There is a misconception about the ski team, Lori Wendling, ski team vice president and senior in pre-occupational therapy, said. We learn while we are practicing with the team. Dedication made the difference between recreational skiers and the 25-member team. The recreational skier will ski as his body allows him to ski, Fred Gibbs, ski team adviser, said. The competitive skier has to have correct position and form, and they have to make their body go how the course is set. During the summer individuals accumulated points at tournaments that counted toward team points at regional and state events, Teichmann said. The University, funded trips to regional and state team meets, but members paid their own entry fees for other competitions. Regardless of whether they competed in jump, trick or slalom events, team members shared a love for the sport. Skiing is the best competitive sport, Teichmann said. It is a serious sport that I give 110 percent to. by Maria Sherrill 1 -Water Ski Team- Teryl Hixon, sophomore in park resources management, lands after jumping from the ski jump during a fall practice near the Stockdale Park area of Tuttle Creek Reservoir. Besides jump events, the K-State Water Ski Team also competed in slalom and trick competitions. (Photo by Darren Whitley) Drenden Wirth, freshman in arts and sciences, falls while performing a trick during an evening practice. The team was given the option of practicing early in the morning or late in the evening because fewer recreational skiers were on the lake at these times. With less activity and calmer waters, members were able to practice the slalom course, jumps and other skiing maneuvers. (Photo by Darren Whitley) With all eyes watching the skier, Doug Rothgeb, senior in architectural engineering, drives one of the boats used by the ski team during practice. Members used three different boats, one belonging to adviser Fred Gibbs and two others belonging to team members. Along with donating his boat, Gibbs offered his time, talent and expertise for the benefit and success of the skiers.

The Wildcat Sprint Triathlon, a swimming, cycling and running competition, raised $500 on Sept. 9 for the Manhattan Marlins Youth Swim Team. Dana Townsend, women ' s division winner and junior in dietetics, was in her fifth full season of triathlon competition. You are actually training in three sports. It does take a tremendous time commitment, Townsend said. Running 25-30 miles, cycling 100 miles and swimming 9,000-10,000 yards, Townsend averaged between 11 and 12 hours per week training. I probably enjoy the training the most, and you have to compete to train well, Townsend said. I don ' t think you can do your best unless you race. Instead of participating in the triathlon, students could work as one of 60 volunteers, Alberto Delgado, race volunteer coordinator and associate professor in mathematics, said. The volunteers were used to helping with timing, registra- tion, water stops, directing traffic, transition areas and race statistics, he said. Safety was a major concern of the coordinators. The swim is one of the most dangerous parts because it is an open swim, Harvard Townsend, race coordinator and systems administrator in computing and information sciences, said. The other danger is when the triathletes take corners on their bicycles. The competition attracted different types of people - some out for fun, others out for competition and experience. It would be a great race for students to try, Dana Townsend said. You put yourself on the line, and you will be tested. This will teach you something about yourself. by J.J.

The prairie offered year- round learning experiences. (Photo by Shane Keyser) Wild turkeys on the Konza Prairie peek out of the tallgrass as Hargett ' s tour passes by. The prairie was home to more than 290 animal species and 500 species of flowers, shrubs and trees. (Photo by Shane Keyser) ild turkeys ran through the grass as a doe stood among the shadows V T and peered down the well-traveled trail at the Konza Prairie Natural Research Area. Docents, or trained tour guides, led tours down the trails of the Konza Prairie. Dean Hargett, senior in history, was die only student out of about 25 docents. He gave his first tour in September, but his first visit to the Konza Prairie was about 10 years ago. My favorite part of the prairie is the hilltop, Hargett said. There is a long climb to the top and you can see all to the south and out west to Fort Pviley. When you reach the top it is magnificent with the wind blowing through your hair. The content of the tours depended on the age of die participants. The tours are available for any group, John Zimmerman, coordinator of the docent program and professor of biology, said. There are tours for fourth and fifth grades, high school students, college students or adults. Docents added information to the tours which were set up on an appointment basis, Hargett said. There are quite a number of training hikes with the docent program. We familiarize ourselves with die prairie by reading about and listening to the experienced docents, he said. Becky Burton, graduate student in biology, said she became interested after volunteering. I volunteer for the burning. My job is I run die drip torch for the fire, Burton said. It is a good experience to help out and feel more connected to what ' s going on in the area. College-level tours focused on plant species and experiments. We have 8,600 acres widi 60 different units all subjected to burn units, David Hartnet, director of the Konza Prairie, said. The whole purpose is to study the effects from die fire on ecology, different species and the effects of burning vegetation. Students worked on the Konza Prairie and gained hands-on experience through research projects. My research is on die aquatic system through die streams, ponds and ground water, Ken Fritz, graduate in biology, said. It is definitely experience. Hargett shared his knowledge about die Konza Prairie and die experiments widi other students he encountered during tours. I like getting odier people out there and helping them know about the prairie instead of just watching it as they drive past, he said. by Maria Sherrill -Konza Prairie- 1 5 W eather forces oca not money rivals Bands from Manhattan and Lawrence smudged out Dr. Crusty in the annual OPUS 9 Band Competition. Smudge, a Manhattan band, and 425 Main, a Lawrence band, tied for first place. Dr. Crusty, from Topeka, placed second in the contest sponsored by Union Program Council. The competition became controversial when bands from other cities were allowed to compete. Only two of the seven bands invited by the UPC Eclectic Entertainment Com- mittee were from Manhattan. It kind of made me mad because (the advertising) made it sound like it was a K- State type thing, Jason Barth, junior in pre-health professions, said. The advertising was not misleading, John Sandlin, UPC program adviser, said. In all of our advertising the only stipulation was that it ' s an unsigned band, he said. Cold weather caused the event to relocate from the free speech zone outside the K-State Student Union to the Union Ballroom. The relocation caused the attendance of 300 to be less than last year ' s, Sandlin said. I think the student committee did a really good job setting it up, he said. Any K-State student could have come and listened to some really good music and had a good time. Members of Smudge were surprised they won. The band agreed that creating original music was their main interest. I don ' t think any of us are in it for the money, Chad Mercer, backing vocals and bass for Smudge, said. If we were in it for the money, we would have all quit a long time ago. Bassist Erik Francis and lead singer Miles Salyers of Dr. Crusty play to a crowd of about 300. Low attendance was attributed to the competition being moved indoors.

Nearly 900 luminaries were lit, containing messages from donors in honor of someone affected by cancer. Relay for Life, a fund raiser sponsored by the American Cancer Society, raised around $2 1 ,000. More than 300 Manhattan residents and students participated in the 12-hour walk-a- thon.

The 12-hour walk-a-thon on Aug. 26 raised money for the American Cancer Society. Twenty-two teams raised $20, 1 00, about $ 1 00 more than last year. It ' s a real high, Mary Stamey, relay chairperson, said. It gets real emotional when we light the luminarias and read the names on the bags. Alpha Delta Pi members walked in support of one of their sisters, Brandi Stotts, sophomore in food and nutrition-exercise science, who lost her mother to cancer. We wanted to support her and also increase our community service, Angie Dixon, junior in pre- occupational therapy, said. We were all affected by the death of her mother. The ADPi team raised $990, the most raised by a living group. It meant a lot to me. It made me feel better, Stotts said. I think it made them feel good to help me, too. Stamey became involved with the event because her brother died of leukemia and it helped her come to terms with the disease. I participate in the relay to honor the memory of my brother, Stamey said. It ' s just a great way to celebrate life. During the Relay for Life walk-a- thon, Aaron Hall, Manhattan resident, reads the names of cancer victims written on luminaries. Each participant in the annual event was asked to raise $100 to benefit cancer research, which led to competition between teams.

Since he was a child, Mike DiDio, senior in electrical engineering, had dreamed of earning his pilot ' s license and becoming a fighter pilot. Being a fighter pilot is very glamorized. After I earn my pilot ' s license, I plan on going to Air Force flight school, he said. After dreaming about flying for so long, I ' m glad I really do like to do it. DiDio began working on his license in May 1995 and planned to complete it in March 1996. Lauren Urich, flight instructor for the Kansas Air Center in Manhattan, said there was no set time schedule for earning a pilot ' s license. How long it takes really depends on the student. It usually takes people anywhere from two and a half months to nine months, although it has taken some people more than a year, Urich said. It just depends on how much they ' re willing to put into it. Flight students had to pass a written test from the Federal Aviation Administration before beginning 40 hours of required flight time. Following training, they had to take a private pilot practical test, Urich said. While training for his license, DiDio piloted a Cessna 150, the most common plane used for flight training. Because of its light composition, the two-seater plane was easily blown around by the wind. Although he never became ill while piloting, DiDio said flying as a passenger was a different story. This summer in New Mexico, I was in an F-l 1 1 . We were 500 feet off the ground going about 650 mph, doing evasive (continued on page 22) DiDio crouches under a wing to check the quality of the gas in the tanks as part of the pre- flight check.

(Photo by Kyle Wyatt) -Pilot ' s License- 2 1 , rean earns of flight (continued from page 20) maneuvers, he said. We were pulling a lot of Gs and the pilot cracked it hard. I got sick, so we raised up for a little bit and then went back down again. The dangers of flying andpossiblities of accidents sometimes worried DiDio. When I ' m with my instructor, if anything went wrong, he could always bring us to safety, he said. Flying solo lacked the safety net an instructor provided. Soloing is a great feeling, and I ' m really relaxed. But if I screw up now, I ' m history, DiDio said. If you don ' t screw up too bad, a fatality probably won ' t happen. Accidents only happen for two reasons: you screw up or the aircraft screws up, and you can control one of those. Landing was often a terrifying experience for new pilots, Mike Spicer, DiDio ' s flight instructor, said. When they see the ground rushing up at them, they have to be pretty close to just right, he said. DiDio said learning to land usually took between 10 and 12 hours of practice. I was really nervous the first time I landed solo, but I was concentrating so hard that I forgot about my nervousness, he said. After I landed the plane and the controls were all sweaty, I just leaned back and took a deep breath. DiDio said although flying made him nervous, he enjoyed the challenges it brought. Being in the air is totally different from being on the ground, he said. Before flying, I always liked the idea of it, but now that I ' m flying, I just love it.

Pilots usually flew solo after 10 hours of instruction. But before training could begin, students had to go through ground school and pass an FAA written test.

About 3,750 people attended Reno ' s Oct. 24 speech at Bramlage Coliseum and about a dozen supporters of Fred Phelps, Topeka resident, protested the event. James Hockenburger, Topeka resident, said he wanted to warn people about Reno ' s acceptance ofhomosexuals. All people should be treated equal, Hockenburger said. But, I need to warn the country that our leaders are promoting homosexuality. The speech focused on helping children grow up with a sense ofbelonging. We can all touch the lives of our children and give them a sense of community, Reno said. Her focus on children bothered students who expected a collegiate topic. She is very well-educated, but she could have chosen a better topic that was more related to the students, Debbie Myers, junior in interior design, said. Reno suggested helping children by supporting community policing. The community needs to make a connection with the young people and work together as a community to be competitive in the future, Reno said.

In summer 1994, Moore, senior in political science, spent eight weeks in Paraguay as an International Service Team member through the Community Service Program. As member of the program, Moore received a scholarship and a living stipend for serving on the teams. Moore joined other team members in organizing a new market for local farmers to sell their goods. The previous market had been closed for 37 years, Moore said. My team got them started again. During summer 1995, he spent seven weeks in Pune, India, carrying out service projects and looking for service opportunities for students overseas. Moore and his partner, Brian Becker, senior in fisheries and wildlife biology, were the first team to go to India. In India, the partners did structural improvements to a low- income housing area and Indian service organizations asked them for help with local projects. Our project was to look at slums and to make suggestions for improvements, Moore said. We were the guinea pig team. He gained a new perspective through the trips. Both of my trips made me open my eyes, Moore said. It was an attitude check for me to get more involved. Now I wonder, why can ' t I get involved in my own community? When his grandmother became ill, Moore had to leave India early. He said he still felt he gained something worthwhile from the experience and time he shared with the people in Paraguay. I have stronger connections to my family now, something that I picked up on in Paraguay, Moore said. Besides, this is the most cost-efficient way to travel. by Linda Harvey Shante Moore, senior in political science, and Brian Becker, senior in fisheries and wildlife biology, were the first members of the Community Service Program International Team to visit India.

Concerned students became Court Appointed Special Advocates. CASA, a national organization, assigned volunteers to court cases involving neglected, abused or delinquentjuveniles. The volunteers investigated the cases and made recommendations in the child ' s interest. Child abuse is more of a problem than people realize, Karen Ruckert, CASA volunteer and sophomore in pre-law, said. I think I was sheltered from the problem and didn ' t realize how widespread it is. There were no specific qualifications to be a volunteer, but personality characteristics such as sensitivity, awareness, objectivity and cooperation with the court system were important, Melanie Brockington, executive director of CASA, said. According to the 1995 Kansas Kid Count Data Book, there were 438 reported child abuse and neglect cases and 27 confirmed cases in Riley County last year. Children are the littlest victims, Tammy Hoots, CASA volunteer and senior in family life and community services, said. And I ' ve never understood what a child would ever do to cause anyone to hit or abuse them sexually or physically. Of the 50 CASA volunteers, half were students. These volunteers interviewed parents, teachers and siblings. We spend time with them (the children) so they get to trust us, Ruckert said. We want to build a rapport with them so we understand where they are coming from. The most rewarding aspect of volunteering was seeing the family change, Hoots said. After I ' ve worked on a case awhile it ' s nice to walk into a room and have the children run up and give me a hug, and to have the parents accept me and realize that I ' m not trying to separate the family, Hoots said. Seeing the children and parents change makes you feel you ' ve made a difference. by Gina Buster 28 -CASA- ran I .A child ' s voice I XXJKT lAPPOIMH)!

We can all remind each other to get together, Erin Bowersox, sophomore in pre-health professions, said. I can experience three different cultures as opposed to one, all at the same time. Students attended events, like an international Halloween party, and did activities in pairs, such as going out for yogurt. I think it is fun, Phouvieng Khounthasenh, freshman in pre-health professions, said. It is kind of like having a family away from home, because we do a lot of things together. Reasons for students ' involvement in the program varied. I wanted to make a new friend, Ming-Fen Tsai, junior in hotel and restaurant management, said. I wanted to improve my conversation. Bowersox said she was interested in other countries. I ' ve gained knowledge of a new culture, a new friend and somebody to spend time with, she said. Dimmitt helped her partner, Dong Chen, graduate student in computer science, prepare to retake the Test of Spoken English, which she had to pass to become a graduate teaching assistant. Once we read Cosmo, Dimmitt said. It was kind of funny because we read about ATM machines and we read about where to find guys. Dimmitt said being involved in the program was rewarding. It ' s a great program, she said. It really opens your eyes. It keeps you aware of things outside of Manhattan. It ' s such a big world out there. by Kristin Boyd Ming Fen Tsai, sophomore in hotel restaurant management; Phouvieng Khountasen, freshman in medical technology; Erin Bowersox, sophomore in pre-veterinary medicine; and Adrienne Dimmitt, sophomore in milling science and management, were part of the Conversational English Program.

I am starting to realize how close he was to me, Nicole Nelson, sophomore in dietetics, said. I thought of my family. This meant so much to my family as a whole, and my brother is part of my family. It was great to have had such a wonderful experience. Nelson ' s brother, Wayne, died of leukemia when she was 13-years-old and he was 17-years-old. He seemed old, but now that I think back, he wasn ' t, Nelson said. It ' s (running in the marathon) probably been therapeutic. It ' s helped me sort through things, and it has meant a lot to my family. After Wayne died, the Leukemia Society of America acci- dentally sent him information about Team-In-Training, a fund- raiser for the Leukemia Society of America that paired runners with individuals who had leukemia. Although the information had been addressed to Wayne, Nicole became fascinated with the program. The patient you run in honor of helps motivate you, Nelson said. It gives you a more personal relationship and gives the patient motivation. When Nelson decided to participate in the program, she had limited track experience. I ran in high school, but I wasn ' t that good, she said. I thought if I ran for Wayne it would give me more determination and make up for the lack of talent. The Leukemia Society assigned Nelson a 7-year-old boy, Loren Edgar, to be her honored patient. Edgar was diagnosed with leukemia when he was 18-months-old. He is great about it, and his morale is super, Nelson said. You could talk to him for hours and he wouldn ' t bring it up.

Nelson began crying as they were leaving one of the houses. He gave me a hug and the next minute he was asking what ' s for dinner, she said. There is not a bone U ' in him that says ' feel sorry for me.

During the event, she decided to finish mind to Something. the entire race, but then stopped one mile short of completing the marathon. I had to remember -I ' m not doing it for me, she said. I ' m doing it for Wayne. When she completed the New York - N, MI i u n K City Marathon, Nelson said she ran all zo . , , miles for her brother, who had taught her to go the extra mile. Race preparations and fund-raising efforts helped her come to terms with her brother ' s death but she also learned many things about herself. It has been a very emotional thing to do. Sometimes it has been flat-out frustrating, she said. It ' s taught me a lot about how much you can do if you set your mind to something. You can accomplish things that are seemingly impossible. The Leukemia Society gave each runner a uniform to wear during the race. On the back of her uniform, Nelson had K- State and cross-stitched the message carved on her brother ' s tombstone. In the corner I cross-stitched ' Together forever, ' because that just says it all, she said. We know we will see him again. -Nelson- 35 Qre ingly impossible.

I was pretty much disappointed. We felt it was a shame, Dirck Dekeyser, senior in pre-optometry and former resident of the house, said. It ' s good the campus ministries are there, but I was still really disappointed we weren ' t asked back because we were having a lot of good times there. Dekeyser and his roommates were forced to find new housing arrangements when the owner decided to rent the house, located at the corner of Denison and Anderson avenues, to Lutheran Campus Ministries. The group began renting in summer 1995 and hoped to buy the house in spring 1996, Rev. Jayne Thompson said. Although the former renters did not attended Lutheran Campus Ministries functions, they noticed the exterior changes. The strangest thing to me, is it is clean. The porch is nice and painted and there are rocking chairs there, Dekeyser said. It doesn ' t even seem like the same house now, because everything is so neat and prissy. The house, which three peer ministers lived in, had an open- door policy. The ministers met Thursdays and lead Bible studies. Remodeling the party house was a time-consuming chore. We have done a lot and we ' ll do some more, Jerry Weis, professor of biology and faculty sponsor chairman of the Lutheran Campus Ministries board, said. But there weren ' t gaping holes in the walls or gallons of beer in the closets. The group was not attracted to the house because of its reputation. We were not planning to hunt down a party house, Richard Lissitschenko, graduate student in curriculum and instruction, said. God works in mysterious ways.

We got a welcome-to-the neighborhood-kind-of- feeling.

However, bee r sales were lower than the Union Governing Board ' s yearly estimates of $100,000 to $175,000 given in spring 1995 when the decision was being made to allow beer in the Union. Those estimates were very exaggerated, Jack Sills, Union director, said. They were unaware of the actual costs involved in getting it all set up. Terri Eddy, Union recreation manager, said original costs included insurance, licensing and being audited. He estimated the recreation area sold between $1,000 and $2,000 in alcoholic beverages a month. We still have hopes of breaking even, Sills said. It just won ' t be as lucrative as it was originally thought. One target audience for alcohol sales was league bowlers. All in all, out of the 11 or so teams we play against, there ' s probably only one team that goes and drinks while they bowl, Luke Folscroft, league bowler and junior in political science, said. It just never has become a factor for us when we bowl, but it doesn ' t bother me that it ' s down there. Chris Hartley, sophomore in arts and sciences, said he approved of having alcohol in the Union. I ' ve seen a few people drink in here and I don ' t mind it, Hartley said. It ' s cool that they ' re flexible enough to allow it in here. Eddy said the availability of alcohol had little effect on the recreational area. It doesn ' t smell like a bar and we don ' t have the hassles of a bar, Eddy said. If people want to get drunk, they ' ll go to the bars in Aggieville, but if they want to play pool or bowl, they can come here without the hassles of a bar. by Scott M.

Security measures, such as signs and checking identification were implemented to prevent underage drinking. Alcohol in the Union was not as profitable as predicted. The beer made between $1,000 and $2,000 a month as opposed to the estmated $175,000 a year. Jack Sills, Union director, said the estimates were exaggerated.

Once a week, street hockey invaded the courts which had chipped and fading white lines. Of the 1 1 people who arrived to play, one was sidelined before the game because of an injury.

I ' m a vet student and I spend six or seven days a week in school and it feels good to have fun and run around for a couple of hours, Dean Elder, third-year veterinary science student, said. The running portion of the game had other advantages. It ' s a great workout and it ' s a nice break from the mo- notony of school, Jeff Daniels, third-year veterinary science student, said. For some of the players, street hockey gave them a chance to play something similar to another sport they loved ice hockey.

Street hockey used the same equipment as ice hockey with the same expenses. Hockey sticks started at $ 1 for wood and could cost as much as $30 for high quality aluminum sticks. Participants could also spend tremendous amounts on gloves, helmets and other equip- ment, DiGregorio said. Also like ice hockey, street hockey had a violent factor. It can get real physical, especially when we start pushing and shoving, Scott Carlson, third-year veterinary science student, said. If you ' re real tenacious, you ' re going to cause some problems. Julie Lewis, graduate student in psychology and one of several women who played, found out how rough hockey could be. During the game, she received a black eye and several bruises. I was a little leery at first that they ' d start beating up on me because I ' m a female, Lewis said. Once they found out that I could dish it out, they started hitting back. I ' ve been known to be mean. During one game, she cheered for her team as she held the opposing goalie from his goal. I ' m doing my best to cheat, she said. Really, I am. 42 -Street Hockey- Celebrating after scoring a goal, Loren Schultz, third year veterinary science student, gives a high-five to teammate Eric Klaphake, third-year veterinary science student.

Marlena died. Oh wait, she came back to life. These were the Days of Our Lives. Soap operas became an obsession for students who gathered for afternoon programming everywhere from the K-State Stu- dent Union to apartments and residence halls. It kind of sucks you in whether you want it to or not, Valerie Robbins, senior in interior architecture, said. I am addicted completely. Videocassette recorders saved students from making the tough choice between microbiology and As the World Turns. My classes come first, Kathy Laubach, junior in dietetics, said. I don ' t revolve (my schedule) around the soaps. I can always record it. However, she attempted to keep her lunch break free on Tuesdays and Thursdays to watch As the World Turns. It ' s nice to have that hour to watch it, Laubach said. You don ' t worry about your problems. You worry about someone else ' s. For some students, soaps promoted a distorted reality - romance was steamy and no one went to work or had problems. Most of the girls who grow up watching this think this is the way it is, Julie Whited, sophomore in hotel and restaurant management, said. If you get too wrapped up in them, your whole sense of reality about the way life is becomes distorted. Men also became hooked on the twisted plots. John Dedonder, sophomore in journalism and mass com- munications, was a fan of Bold and the Beautiful. He watched the show with his brother and father when he was younger. Some people make fun of me and some watch it also, he said. They say, ' You tape that? You ' re as bad as some girls I know. by Heather Hollingsworth 44 -Soap Operas- Julie Whited, sophomore in food science, watches the television in the K-State Student Union television room as Marcy Kanak, sophomore in elementary education, attempts to change the channel to As the World Turns.

Shane felt had a tent to display her historically accurate garments during the festival in Manhattan City Park on Sept. 23- 24. Normally, re-enactments happened in a semi-remote area where several tents would be set up to replicate Civil War-era encampments. Actors camped without modern conveniences including electricity and running water.

The character is me, only 130 years ago, Christine Shaneyfelt, senior in theater, said. Shaneyfelt used her costuming skills to craft Civil War-era clothing to wear at re-enactments across Kansas and to make her dress for the Miss K-State Manhattan Scholarship Pageant on Oct.14. During the Civil War re-enactments she explored the scenes, often visiting both warring camps. It ' s amazing how different you can be treated between the two camps during a re-enactment. I came upon a Confederate camp. They said ' Lady in camp ' and then there were a lot of crashes and bangs, Shaneyfelt said. Each soldier lined up and tipped his hat as they escorted me through the camp. The Yankee camp was different. I started getting cat calls and one guy used a rifle butt to lift my dress, she said. Due to the size of Shaneyfelt ' s dress, the incident did not reveal much. Her dress hoops measured more than 90 inches around and weighed more than 40 pounds. I always liked playing dress-up, but now my dresses have gotten bigger and more expensive. (Re-enacting) can put you in the hole easily, Shaneyfelt said. However, it pays off in an educational value. She shared that education with elementary students when she lectured about women ' s roles on the plantations. All too often people don ' t realize that we didn ' t just sit around sipping lemonade and fanning ourselves, Shaneyfelt said. The women on the plantation weren ' t as weak as people think they were.

Shaneyfelt used her costuming skills to design her pageant dress as well as clothing for re-enactments. Her civil war-era clothing cost her anywhere between $7 and $130 for base materials alone. Fabric, dresses, petticoats and theater-related knick-knacks cluttered Shaneyfelt ' s bedroom located in her parents ' basement.

I was so excited when they called me. My dad reads this every Christmas (for our family). I really hope I get a part, Shaneyfelt said following the audition. She received a role as a narrator in the production. Re-enacting a character from her past during Civil War re- enactments allowed Shaneyfelt to practice her acting skills. With true re-enactors, you have to be yourself, she said. I just put myself in my grandma ' s shoes. (Photo by Kyle Wyatt) 48 -Shaneyfelt- esigned to win (continued from page 47) hoops, she said. It just doesn ' t work at all. While she might not have been able to drive in the clothes, parts of her costumes could be worn to class. I ' ve worn the clothing to school before, especially during the winter, Shaneyfelt said. The students think I ' m weird, but at least I ' m not cold. She had other reasons for wearing clothing. Call it backfire re-incamation or one too many reruns of ' Little House on the Prairie, ' I just like wearing the clothing, she said. For one night in October, Shaneyfelt forgot about her Civil War-era clothing and switched her name. Christine became Alicia as she slipped into the evening wear competition of the 39th annual Miss Manhattan K-State Scholarship Pageant. I use two different names to represent myself with, when I compete in pageants and when I act, she said. They represent different aspects of my abilities.

I just got lucky, and it was my time to shine, and through the grace of God it finally happened, Shaneyfelt said. I felt really calm, not that I wasn ' t anxious or nervous, but I had this really weird feeling. When they said I had won, I didn ' t move, she said. I had my eyes closed, and someone was telling me to come up and get my crown when one of my best friends tackled me to tell me congratulations. -Shaneyfelt- 49 The Rasmussen twins, Corey and Todd, shared more than just common blood as they attended college.

BARBARA OPLINGER, JUNIOR IN SOCIAL WORK, CAME TO K-STATE AFTER HELPING HER HUSBAND, ROGER, RAISE THEIR CHILDREN AND WORK ON THE family farm. Not only did Barbara return to school while raising a family, two of her daughters, Ky and Kory, were her peers. It wasn ' t planned, it just happened that way, Ky, sophomore in pre-health professions, said. Like their mother, Kory, junior in journalism and mass communications, and Ky transferred from community colleges. I always wanted to come here, Kory said. Dad always brought us to K-State for the games and productions since he was from here, and I liked the journalism and mass communications school and had heard so much about it. While at school, Barbara lived in Riley with her three other children who attended middle and high school. Ky and Kory lived in Manhattan, although in different locations. We ' ve gotten a lot closer because we all live closer together, Kory said. As for my younger brothers and sisters, I can call them up on the weekends and I can actually go to see Dad when he comes up from Jewell. Roger, a K-State alumnus, maintained the farm in Jewell and visited Manhattan on week- ends. Adjusting to life without her husband nearby was difficult for Barbara. Now for the first time, I ' m facing issues by myself because my husband is not here with me, she said. When her younger children were around, Barbara ' s role changed from student to parent. She waited to study until the children were in bed or before they woke up. I concentrate on them. I ' m Mom then, Barbara said. I try not to make my needs known to them or disrupt their lives. We ' ve got to support one another. Adjusting to the changing family structure gave one daughter a new look at her parents. I am so proud of my mom and I am so happy that Dad was able to adjust to it all, Kory said. -Oplinger Family- 53 After being together their entire lives, the Rasmussen twins, Corey, junior in finance and Todd, junior in pre-medicine, live in separate apartments in Royal Towers.

Although they never switched places at K- State, students still confused Corey, junior in finance, and Todd. There have been times when people have come up to me and I have no clue who they are, Corey said. I just try to be polite and say ' I think you must know my brother, Todd. ' In spite of their physical similarities, the twins said they had contrasting personalities. Corey is more outgoing and more social than I am, Todd said. He is more energetic in meeting new people and in getting to know them. I am not that way. I usually just sit back. The twins were not the first in their family to attend K-State. Eric, a 1994 K-State graduate in mechanical engineering, played an important role in the twins ' decision of what college to attend. Since I always came up to see him, my older brother played a major part in me coming to school at K-State, Todd said. I remember my brother always commenting on how much he loved it here at K-State. Like Eric, the twins joined Delta Chi frater- nity. Todd became president of the fraternity. Being twins gave Todd and Corey advan- tages. I meet people through my brother and my brother meets people through me, Todd said. The brothers liked being involved in the same activities and living near each other. We have lived in the same general area all the years we have been up here, said Corey. It works out nice since Todd is stealing my stuff all the time. The twins lived in the same apartment com- plex, although in different apartments. My parents wanted us to be together, Todd said. This way we are able to see each other all the time and are still able to get away from each other when we need to. -Rasmussen Twins- 55 Following in the footsteps of her mother and grandfather, Dana Pinkston, associate professor in theater and a costume designer, not only graduated from K-State, but also returned to teach.

Her grandfather, Charles Johnston, taught in the agri- culture department and Dana ' s mother, was a dairy science faculty member. Dana had not planned on being a third gen- eration faculty member. It had not been a goal, she said. I honestly thought I would never come back. Mother and daughter had rocky educational experiences. Both dropped out of K-State and later returned to become faculty members. Following her mother ' s death and a disap- pointing academic start, Dana dropped out of school. She later returned to earn bachelor ' s and master ' s degrees in theater. It was hard coming back, she said. Every- PROFESSOR. one seemed young and spoiled. You want to tell them all to quit fooling around and be serious. You also realize you know more than you think you know. Phyllis dropped out of college to become a wife and mother when she met Dana ' s father. After his death, Phyllis was forced to return to school. Losing both parents made theater especially important for Dana. The nice thing about theater is it becomes an extended family, she said. It ' s like working with your family. Dana accepted a faculty position in fall 1994. It felt like coming home. K-State has always been a part of my life, she said. I felt like I was upholding a family tradition. -Dana Pinkston- 57 Over the lunch hour, Mike Laurie, junior in civil engineering, and his dad, David, professor of secondary education, play racquetball.

He usually picks me up for lunch on Tues- days to play handball or racquetball. It ' s neat that we both have something in common, Mike said. I like having him here because most people don ' t get that opportunity, and the free lunch is nice. The Laurie ' s tie to K-State was a strong one. Mike ' s two brothers, Matt and Mark, and his mother, Claudette, graduated from K-State. David ' s two brothers and father also attended the University. David said his sons never felt pressure to continue the family tradition. We told them to go anywhere, David said. We just wanted them to go to college no matter what they wanted to do. Friends and strong family ties helped Mike make the decision to come to K-State. It was an easy choice, Mike said. All my family has come here, and many of my friends were here. I ' d heard a lot of stories about K-State from my older brothers, and I was comfortable and familiar here. David said it wasn ' t family ties that brought him to the campus. It was football. Football was the most important reason I came to K-State, David said. I was assured that I could start as a sophomore, and that really influenced me. After five concussions and temporary eyesight loss, David was forced to quit playing football after his third year. He ended up teaching graduate level educa- tion classes and coaching and officiating for foot- ball and basketball. Although Mike hasn ' t yet taken a class from his dad, he heard about them from his friends. They like his classes, and they get to hear stories about me. Dad ' s pretty obnoxious some- times, and I think he probably likes to give them a hard time in class, Mike said. -Laurie Family- 59 A radio program in the early 1980s, a background in journalism and their marriage provided Lori Bergen, associate professor in print journalism, and David Kamerer, associate professor in electronic media, with many similarities.

LORI BERGEN, ASSOCIATE PROFESSOR IN PRINT JOURNALISM, AND DAVID KAMERER, ASSOCIATE PROFESSOR IN ELECTRONIC MEDIA, ATTENDED K- STATE IN THE EARLY 1980s AND CO-HOSTED A PROGRAM CALLED SUMMER Classics on KSDB-FM 91.9. During the summer they were wanting to try some other things, Bergen said. We just thought it would be nice to have sort of a dinner hour classical music. Bergen and Kamerer met in a UFM class. After dating for three years, they were married in November 1983. When positions opened at K-State it was no surprise that Bergen and Kamerer accepted them. Like Bergen ' s mother, father and brother, they had both received degrees from K-State. However, Kamerer was the first K-State graduate in his family. The school really wrapped its arms around me. It ' s a very nice environment, he said. I ' ve always stayed close to K-State and when I had the chance to come back, I was thrilled, especially when we were able to make it work out. Even their 4-year-old daughter, Anna, was a student at the KSU Child Development Center. She ' s been there since she was three, Bergen said, Anna ' s probably the youngest in my family to go to K-State. Despite being surrounded by her family, Bergen said it was strange teaching at her alma mater. It ' s kind of interesting because I have had students who have professors that I had when I was an undergraduate, Bergen said. But the oddest thing about being here is that I ' m (teaching) in the same classrooms I used to sit in. On campus, Bergen and Kamerer did not see each other more than if they had worked at separate places. I work in a different building, and we work in different areas even though we ' re in the same department, Kamerer said. She goes into her black hole everyday just like she works some- where else and I do the same. -Bergen Kamerer- 6 1 While her sons, Alexander and Jeremy, were learning in the KSU Child Development Center and her husband, Jeff, was at work, Michelle Cooper, junior in English, studied in the K-State Student Union. Between working and studying, Cooper had to make time to spend with her children and husband. 62 -Cooper Family mon by Stephanie Befort T JLOYS SCATTERED FROM ONE END OF THE ROOM TO THE OTHER. LATE FOR WORK. AN ESSAY DUE TOMORROW. FOR MICHELLE COOPER, JUNIOR IN ENGLISH, OBTAINING A COLLEGE EDUCATION WAS ANYTHING BUT EASY AND CONVENIENT. Most college kids ' greatest worry is what bar they ' re going to hit that night, Cooper said. I have to worry about and focus on my kids, husband, bills and work. When she woke at 6 a.m., Cooper spent a few minutes with her sons, Jeremy, 5, and Alexander, 2, before dropping them off at the KSU Child Development Center. I chose to take the kids to KSUCDC be- cause I wanted them to be in an environment I knew was licensed, safe and conducive to learn- ing, Cooper said. She found it convenient having her sons near. I wanted them close by so that if something happened I would be right there, she said. I also wanted them near me so that if I wanted to see them or go eat lunch with them, they would be close enough so that I could do that. In January 1994, the Coopers moved to Man- hattan, and Cooper became a full-time student. We ' ve all been through a lot of adjustments in the last year and it has changed the focus of everything, she said. Because of her demanding schedule, she was not able to spend as much time as she wanted with her sons. Cooper worked as a telemarketer for Olan Mills in the evenings and then did homework at night after her sons went to bed. The level of responsibility is enormous, she said. It is very taxing, very exhausting. I function on little sleep. The struggles of studying, working 24 hours a week and raising children were worth it for Cooper when she considered the future. It will be worth it when I can bring home a paycheck to ensure that my children will get a college education and everything they need, she said. I have to remind myself of that when I get really frustrated. -Cooper Family- 63 upc tries to promote live music o w t u r n o u alternative music comes to manhattan points fans offers usic scene s Oblivious to the small crowd, Soul Asylum played as fans swayed to the music and passed people above their heads in the traditional concert style. Soul Asylum and Matthew Sweet entertained an audience of about 1,200 on Oct. 2 at Bramlage Coliseum. The concert was sponsored by Union Programming Council. We took a shot and it didn ' t succeed, Sarah Hadley, program adviser, said. We experienced a substantial loss. She estimated the actual loss was be- low the original $40,000 estimation. Several factors contributed to the low turnout. Patrick Carney, UPC president and senior in political science, said low atten- dance was partially due to scheduling the concert on a Monday, the tour suffering nationally and students being picky. Students wanted an alternative music scene, but many didn ' t like Soul Asylum, Carney said. They need to think of it as more than Soul Asylum, he said. If bands do poorly there will be no alternative music scene. If the concert was to succeed, UPC would have sold more tickets during the first selling week, Meri Sias, UPC member and junior in park resources management, said. We only sold around 400 to 500 tickets in the first two weeks before the concert, she said. UPC spent about $4,000 on advertising and gave away about 160 tickets the day of the concert. Regardless of the efforts, fans were disappointed with the turnout. Soul Asylum ' s lead vocalist and guitarist, Dave Pirner, performs Hope ' s Up for the crowd at Bramlage Coliseum on Oct. 1.

The two residents kept in shape during the winter months by working out on the portable practice wall. McClure allowed other residents of the hall to attempt climbing the eight-foot wall, but he said few succeeded. They think that it is awesome, but it is hard because they haven ' t rock climbed before, McClure said. (Photo by Steve Hebert) After slipping during his climb, Jeremy Wertz, senior in biology, hangs on the wall of West Stadium. When the weather allowed, Wertz would try to climb twice a week. Many of the 35 members of the club, such as Stephanie Bartel, junior in elementary education, became interested in the club after seeing people climb the walls of Memorial Stadium. She said although they made the climb look easy, she thought rock climbing would be a challenge. (Photo by Steve Hebert) Hartmann, rock climbing club president, works out on the rock wall.

The first time I climbed a big wall, the wind was blowing and I was nervous, Drew Hartmann, rock climbing club president and junior in mechanical engineering, said. So I was getting the shakes in my knees, like a sewing machine. Nervousness and insecurity made climbing difficult at first, but climbers ' confidence and skills improved after several practices. I felt like I had a lack of coordination for the first four or five days, Bob Henning, freshman in arts and sciences, said. My fingers were raw from the first week of practice. Climbers in the 35-member club practiced every Thursday at West Stadium. Kent McClure, rock climbing vice president and junior in architecture, designed, paid for and built a $400 practice climbing wall made from plywood and fiberglass for his Goodnow Hall room. The principle behind it is it ' s a training device for isolating muscles to strengthen them, McClure said. Basically, you just get on and climb around in circles for as long as you can. After practicing and gaining experience, rock cumbers went south to experience the real thing. Hartmann, Henning and McClure took a spring break trip to El Paso, Texas, to climb Hueco Tanks, the premier rock- climbing spot in the nation. It ' s the exposure and scenery that contrasts to the old stadium, McClure said. We are on actual rock and can climb a lot higher. On Hueco, the climb was 300 feet. Henning ' s favorite aspect of climbing was the challenge it brought. It is like a puzzle, like trying to figure out a problem, he said. You look up and try to find your next step. by Maria Sherrill -Rock Climbing- 67 providing on o dancers gain produ x p e r i e n c e sacrificing nights and weekends ancing on stage Combining art and music, dancers performed before a packed Nichols Theatre crowd for the 1 2th annual Winter Dance. Of the 37 students who auditioned, 23 were for the four Winter Dance performances Dec. 1-3. According to ticket sales, we were sold out, Janusz Jaworski, senior in secondary education, said. Some of the season ticket holders didn ' t show up, but we sold some of their seats. Each year, the number of Winter Dance performers depended on the program ' s location. Jenny Mavrovich, senior in theater, said each year Winter Dance alternated between McCain and Nichols Theatre. When it ' s in McCain, more people can make (the cast) than when it is in Nichols, because of the bigger dance floor, Mavrovich said. Everyone is encouraged to audition for the experience. The auditions involved modern dance, jazz and ballet. Mavrovich said most students who tried out got nervous before the auditions. The tryouts were a whole new concept, Dena Fox, sophomore in fine Stretching before learning new techniques, Dena Fox, sophomore in fine arts, prepares for the Winter Dance production.

They work so hard in the classroom, so it ' s nice that they can show their talents. Directors and students sacrificed many nights and weekends to practice for the performance. From the beginning of the semester, I ' ve danced between 55 and 60 hours a week, Fox, said. It ' s definitely worth all the work. The performance allowed students and faculty to share their abilities and love for dance with the community. Another performance, Spring Dance, was planned for April 12-13 in McCain Auditorium. Both events were sponsored by the dance department. The benefits are two-fold, Kahlich said. It gives the faculty an outlet and also gives the students a chance to perform. The Winter Dance performance featured folk songs, experimental comedy and classical ballet. The different styles allowed students to experiment with new dances. I like ballet, Amy Leek, sophomore in dance, said. Lately though, I ' ve been introduced to modern dance, which is more natural and flowing. My Cup Runneth Over was an experimental dance with no music and Mavrovich was the choreographer and only performer. I ' ve always done someone else ' s piece, Mavrovich said. It was important for me to show some of my old teachers how much I ' ve improved over the years. -Winter Dance- 7 1 Tyler Olson, senior in marketing, takes an order from a customer on a busy Friday night.

Tyler Olson, senior in marketing, was a co-owner of 1 2th Street Pub. When the bar opened Aug. 21, Olson worked an average of 80 hours a week. I was training waitresses and bartenders, so I wanted to be there a lot to help them, he said. I am working a lot less now and things are going smoothly. Olson and a high school friend, Mike Robinson, Emporia State University graduate, first looked into opening a bar together after Kite ' s Bar and Grille closed in 1994. We wanted our bar to reflect a little of the Kite ' s tradi- tion, Robinson said. To do that we put up the kind of pictures Kite ' s had and we also put up the (greek) paddles. Students said 12th Street had a comfortable atmosphere. I like it because it is a sit-down, relaxing, Cheers-type bar, Katie Linden, sophomore in pre-law, said. It ' s a good bar for people who like to just sit down and enjoy their beer. Both owners had previous experience working in bars. During his senior year at Emporia State, Robinson was part owner of a bar called Kokomo ' s. Although 12th Street was the first bar Olson had owned, he was familiar with the scene. I ' ve basically grown up in the bars in Aggieville, Olson said. I have worked as a bartender too, but owning my own has been more difficult than I thought. Both owners thought the bar was successful, but Olson said he was not thinking too far into the future. I might like to buy my mother ' s part of the business eventually, but right now I have to finish my research paper, so I ' m trying not to worry about too much else, he said. by Chris Dean -Tyler Olson- 73 A crowd gathers in the freespeech zone to protest the proposed student athletic fee increase Feb. 7.

Title IX of the Higher Education Act of 1972 required all schools to provide equitable opportunities for women and men. For K-State to conform, money had to be generated to bring women ' s sports into compliance with the regulation. It ' s not a student problem. It ' s an athletic problem, Brad Finkeldei, student body vice president and senior in chemical engineering, said. Controversy began when the athletic department proposed a student fee increase, changing the athletic fee of $17 to $34. Students opposing the increase rallied in the freespeech zone Feb. 7. Don ' t get me wrong, I ' m for Tide IX, Jennifer Higerd, junior in political science, said. But I don ' t think students should have to pay for something like this. Finding money should be the responsibility of the administration. Negotiations between the administration and a team of six student representatives began Feb. 6 and by Feb. 7, a compro- mise had been reached. We all agreed we need to get the money, and we ' re not going to have a fee increase, so Max (Urick), do whatever you have to to raise the money, Finkeldei said. The athletic fee continuance bill was voted on in the Feb. 8 Senate meeting. With amendments allowing the athletic depart- ment to raise student ticket prices and change concession sales to raise revenue, the bill passed 42-11. Greg McLean, ICAT president and junior in journalism and mass communications, said students weren ' t afraid to share their opinions about Title IX. I was impressed with the way students got involved with this, either for or against the increase, he said. People called their senators for the first time and got involved. by Courtney Marshall -Title IX- 75 Registered massage therapist Bernice Martin, Manhattan resident, demonstrates techniques for head message on Ardell Kufahl, Wheaton resident, during a fall couples massage class, Introduction to Massage.

After seeing how successful the previous year ' s Japanese massage class was, UFM offered a self-massage class Oct. 24 and Jan. 27 and a couples-massage class Nov. 28, Dec. 5, March 19 and March 26. The first semester the class was offered, it filled in three days, Linda Teener, UFM director, said. The class was a different, popular class because people were interested in proper techniques and different kinds of massages. They were interested in finding ways to relax and relieve stress. The Jan. 27 self-massage class, which taught basic techniques, was attended by four people. We learned when to do a massage and when not to, Jessica Morgan, third-year student in veterinary medicine, said. After an injury, you should not have a massage. Bernice Martin, UFM instructor and certified massage therapist, said she wanted others to learn the importance of correct massage methods. She began teaching the UFM classes in the fall. Massages were important for college students because they helped relieve stress and consequently, improve health, Martin said. When you are relaxed you can be more focused, she said. The more focused you are when studying, (the easier) you can learn what you are learning and not be distracted. The basic strokes included effleurage, a gliding motion; petrissage, a kneading method; and tapotement, a stimulating method. We are very deprived of touching in this country and it ' s a fundamental need for growth and development, Martin said. by Maria Sherrill -Massage Class- 11 clanking rhythms a e s bringing students closer to spring break waiting in lines to use equipmen ecord numbers Spring break and New Year ' s resolutions were credited with setting a new single-day attendance record at the Chester E. Peters Recreation Complex. First of all, it ' s their New Year ' s resolutions, Jessica Lange, building supervisor and junior in secondary education, said. Everybody is working out for spring break. On Jan. 22, the spring semester ' s first day of classes, the Rec Complex was used by 4,153 people during the 18 hours it was open, Derek Walters, facility manager, said. On the first day of classes last spring, the complex had only 2,547 users, he Tsaid. The increase in use wasn ' t a one-day phenomena, Walters said. _ In 1994, use of the complex rose 29 percent, totaling 60,425 visits for the year. However, total visits to the rec increased to 210,085 in 1995. The popularity of the complex caused some students to wait for equipment. Half of the time there ' s not enough Bouncing a basketball, a student walks to the gymnasium courts in the recreation complex. The addition created one new gymnasium with four basketball courts.

There ' s enough (equipment) for everybody, at least it seemed like it until now because there are so many people. Hawthorne said New Year ' s resolutions played a part in the increased use of the Rec Complex. I think the big reason is people ' s New Year ' s resolutions, she said. They don ' t want to let down on them too early and spring break is coming. The addition came at a perfect time, said Lange, who had worked at the Rec Complex for over a year. Walters said the expansion increased the number of cardiovascular machines. Before the expansion, the rec had only 35 machines and afterwards it had 92. Another explanation for the increased popularity of the Rec Complex was the cold weather, Lange said. People can ' t usually run (outside) during the winter time, Lange said. She estimated an average of 50 people used the track for running and walking during the busiest part of the evening. Because the complex ' s increased popularity was partially due to the approaching spring break, the number of users was expected to decrease after the vacation. Once spring break comes, this place will be dead, La nge said. -Recreation Complex- 8 1 Demonstrating a new section of a tap dance set to the Wizard of Oz, Michelle Jennings, senior in psychology, moves along with her students Jordan Ellis and Sarah Peters.

I couldn ' t imagine doing anything else, Michelle Jennings, senior in psychology, said. I get paid for doing what I love and I get to stay in shape while doing it. She taught tap dance lessons at Washington Dance Studio in Manhattan, with students ranging from 5 to 1 years old. Watching her students perform was only one benefit ofbeing a dance instructor, she said. My hours aren ' t long, I get paid above minimum wage, and my work schedule is consistent, Jennings said. I also get to go to work comfortable. I don ' t have to dress up. Lisa Burnett, junior in family studies and human services, also planned to have her own dance studio. I have taught dance since I was 16, and I like interacting with the kids, she said. I want to teach them and give back to them what was given to me. With students ranging from age 4 to 8, Burnett taught ballet and tap for Manhattan Parks and Recreation. I love to see my students ' faces just light up when they get a new step or routine, she said. It gives them (good) self esteem to know they have accomplished something new. Burnett started dance lessons at age 6 and took tap, jazz and ballet until her sophomore year of college. Although they often found themselves in the minority, men also taught aspiring dancers and gymnasts. Tim McCloud, junior in kinesiology, taught gymnastics at the Manhattan Gymnastics Center. He said boys should be in gymnastics to build character and to leam commitment. My favorite part ofbeing an instructor is watching the kids mature, McCloud said.

The center was a non-profit education and research organization that equipped and inspired men to become dedicated fathers. I am very much excited about the posi- tion, Franklin said. I feel there is a real need to help men and to give them new perspectives about their jobs and children. In his new position, Franklin would co- facilitate seminars sponsored by the center, gather data about families, travel as a spokes- man and give direction to education and programming for minority men. Franklin said he would continue to work with the University on recruiting and alumni events. Bernard has been a significant member of our K-State community as an undergraduate in the ' 70s and for five years as a dean, said Pat Bosco, dean of student life and associate vice president for institutional advancement. He has touched thousands of lives at K-State and he will be sorely missed. As an undergraduate, Franklin was the first African American to be elected student body president. Bernard is an inspiration to many stu- dents because he is a fearless leader, Meredith Mein, senior in apparel design, said. At K-State, Franklin ' s duties included co- ordinating the University ' s response to student misconduct, advising groups on campus and assisting with an African Male Symposium. He said leaving K-State had both advan- tages and disadvantages. It is somewhat bittersweet, Franklin said. It is bitter because you leave an envi- ronment you love and care about, but sweet because that environment has prepared you to leave.

But that was not Jeff Peterson ' s style. Instead, he chose to downplay the signifi- cance of his accomplishment. In fairness, I think I ' m the only one who ran for a second term, Peterson, graduate student in animal science and industry, said. As far as I know, I don ' t think other people have tried it. He said he decided to run again because leaving projects unfinished was out of the question. A lot of the issues we were working on were long-term, like parking and open ad- missions, Peterson said. So we thought one more year of working on those issues could help us take student government to another level. This attitude helped Peterson gain the respect of others. As a former student body president, I tend to judge potential student body presi- dents on what I think their motives are, Bernard Franklin, assistant dean of student life, said. And from day one, I have noticed Jeffs almost completely unselfish commit- ment to the student body. Bob Krause, vice president for institu- tional advancement, also took notice of Peterson ' s leadership qualities. Jeffis an exceptionally good listener and the tenacity he has is impressive, Krause said. Although he was able to meet a few people who were president before him, Peterson was initially surprised by the de- mands of the office. I don ' t think anyone has any idea of what they are getting into when they run, Peterson said. I knew people who were in office and I could see that they were tired, but I still had no idea. Peterson said the experience he gained his first year in office paid off. We learned where to spend our time better by being a little more selective on what we do, he said. We know some of the people on campus who can help us get things accomplished. The relationships Peterson and his stafl formed with the faculty were further devel-: oped during his second term. It ' s having close personal ties with people that helps you get things done, he said. Having a year of building those makes it easier. Peterson said he once thought he couldn ' t handle being president because of the lack of time to do everyday things. I like to have fun too, so I thought maybe I can ' t handle this, but I make time forfun, Peterson said.

Dwain Archer, director of parking services, said bicycle registration was started to determine how much equipment the University would need when more racks and signs were purchased and the new bicycle path was constructed, among other reasons. This is not a method for punishing anyone. Archer said. I think the registration is a positive move for us because of being able to retrieve stolen bikes and return them to their rightful owners. The University Pl anning Office was sched- uled to do a study of the bicycle program in spring 1 996 to determine how much new equip- ' ment would be needed, said Archer. Archer said although 1 ,200 bikes were regis- tered with Parking Services, he was unsure how many students rode bicycles on campus. Johnnie Montgomery, senior in psychology ' , said he favored the registration as long as it wasn ' t used as a ticketing method. I ' m trying to figure out why they re doing it, but it ' s a good thing if it ' s helping retrieve stolen bikes. he said. I ' m opposed to it if they ' re doing it to ticket bikes. I ' ve never heard ot that in my life. Although registration was free. Anna Tischer, junior in business administration, said she didn ' t register her bike because she didn ' t believe the University needed an additional money-making method. I felt that the university got enough money as it was by selling parking permits and parking fees and stuff, she said. I didn ' t think it was right to get your bike locked up if it ' s not registered or to pay to get it out even if the registration is free. The deadline to register bicycles betore being fined for riding an unregistered one was originally Oct. 1 . This deadline was moved to Nov. 1 and then spring 1996. Archer said. I don ' t know why anyone would not want to register their bicycle, he said. It ' s for their own good.

Gov. Bill Graves signed a bill March 15, which increased speed limits on interstates and improved two-lane highways. For the bill to pass in the House and the Senate, legislators from sparsely popu- lated western Kansas who wanted higher speed limits and leg- islators from more concentrated areas of eastern Kansas who opposed the speed limit increase worked together to reach a com- promise, Mike O ' Neil, R-Hutchinson, said. During the sum- mer, the U.S. Senate passed a bill that al- lowed individual states to establish speed limits for their interstate highways. The bill increased speed limits on interstates and four-lane divided high- ways to 70 mph and two-lane highways to Racing towards new limits, interstate travelers await an increase in speed limit. The U.S. Senate passed a bill in summer 1995, giving states the choice to change the limits. (Photo by Kyle Wyatt) 65 mph. County roads would remain at 55 mph. The new speed limits took effect March 22. If the bill had not passed by March 8, speed limits would have reverted to pre-1974 law. The cost to change road signs was esti- ma ted to be $340,000, said Jason Bitter, Kansas House of Representatives intern and sophomore in business administration. Even with the increased costs and possibil- ity of more accidents that would come with the new law, students favored the proposal. I ' d be in favor of it just because I think everybody ' s already doing it and would cut down on people trying to get away with something they ' re already doing, Brian Hatridge, junior in architectural engineering, said. I don ' t know why we shouldn ' t have it if everyone ' s already doing it. The possibility of an increase in acci- dents and fatalities made some Manhattan residents think twice about the change. I feel both ways. People who drive on the interstate tend to be the people who wear seat belts and that sometimes saves them in acci- dents, Stephanie Galland, Riley County EMS services paramedic, said. As long as people wear their seat belts and use their heads, I guess the increase would be OK. Town Center builds strong foundation one financial security through remarketed bond ' by Kara Rogers The fear of Manhattan Town Center fore- closing prompted the city commission to allow Forest City, the mall ' s managing company, to remarket $18.8 million in mall bonds in No- vember. Forest City wanted to remarket the bonds to find lower interest rates at a time when the economy was good. The refinancing of the mall was beneficial for everyone involved and it created long-term security, Curt Wood, city finance director, said. (It is) beneficial for the city because of the lower interest rates on the bonds, and it elimi- nated the buyer of the bonds to sell them back, Wood said. The revenue bonds were sold to fund the building of the mall, which opened in 1987. By remarketing the bonds, Forest City was able to escape the put option that Lennar North- east Partnership, the former bond holder, could exercise in 1997. The put option allowed Lennar to force Forest City to pay the bonds ofFimmediately or the partnership would find another buyer for the bonds. Forest City found another buyer for the bonds, Wood said. This brought lower inter- est rates and financial security. If Forest City had not paid off the bonds o found another buyer, Lennar would have ownec the mall and would have had the ability tc foreclose on it. The possibility of the foreclosure of tht mall triggered a great deal of concern for every- one, said Chris Heavey, Manhattan Tovvr Center general manager. Wood said he was glad Forest City remainec the manager of the mall. They have done an excellent job and cre- ated a foundation on sound footing, Wooc said. -News Section- Construc- tion of Kansas Highway 177 bridge over the Kansas River continued in an effort to expand the highway from two lanes to four. The construction of a four- lane bridge over the Kansas River, which began in May 1994, was scheduled for completion in spring 1996. Funding for the bridge construction was provided by the Bridge Replacement and Eco- nomic Development projects.

The question of whether OJ. Simpson stabbed his ex-wife, Nicole Brown Simpson, and her friend, Ronald Goldman, to death on June 12, 1994, was one asked over and over again during the nationally televised trial. After nine months of testimony, OJ. Simpson was acquitted by a jury Oct. 2. According to a Courtroom Television Network web page, prosecutors in the Cali- fornia v. Simpson trial said after years of abuse, OJ. killed his ex-wife at her home in Brentwood, Calif. Goldman, a waiter, was also killed when he stopped by Nicole ' s residence to return a pair of her mother ' s eyeglasses that had been left at a restaurant. There were no witnesses to the double murder. Prosecutors said blood evidence found at the crime scene, in O.J. ' s car and home proved he had committed the murders. The Courtroom Television Network ' s synopsis also stated O J. said he was at home during the incident, preparing for a business trip he was taking to Chicago. O.J. ' s lawyers said racist police planted the evidence. They produced witnesses and taped interviews that showed police detective Mark Fuhrman had a deep disdain for African Americans. Fuhrman was the detective who found the bloody glove at O.J. ' s estate that became central to the prosecution ' s case. Defense attorneys said police contami- nated key evidence, making it unreliable. After approximately three hours of delib- eration, the jury that had been sequestered for 266 days acquitted OJ. Over the course of the proceedings, the trial drew mixed reactions from students. Erin Wright, junior in interior design, said the trial coverage got a little out of hand. The longer it dragged on, the less I cared, she said. At first, I watched it when I had the time, but at the end, I ' d rather not have the TV on. Not only did the trial cut into daytime television, but Wright said it also dominated the nightly news. I usually watched soaps during the after- noon and for a couple of months, they were on hold, she said. And (the trial) is all the news was about. Dan Zook, senior in feed science man- agement, said media coverage of the trial was too extensive. I thought it was ridiculous the whole trial, the media coverage, he said. They basically turned it into a soap opera, ' Days in the Life of OJ. Simpson. ' Nobody really cared after a while, at least I didn ' t. Bill Adams, associate professor of jour- nalism, said all the media coverage effected the trial. The media didn ' t impact the outcome of the trial but it had a lot of effect on the public ' s opinion of the outcome, he said. Both the judge and the lawyers were influ- enced by the media in the way they acted and how they played to the cameras. Wright said she didn ' t agree with the jury ' s ruling. I think the evidence was there, and I don ' t agree with the verdict at all, she said. Zook, on the other hand, said he thought the verdict was justified. I don ' t know if he ' s guilty, Zook said. I ' m not surprised by the verdict, though. With as much emphasis as they put on race, it ' d be hard for 12 people to say he was guilty, especially with as many mistakes as the cops and medical examiners made. Nation feels government shutdowns by Sarah Garner When Republicans and Democrats could not reach an agreement, Americans paid - $1.3 billion. Conflicts over balancing the national bud- get caused the federal government to shut down and government employees to be furloughed for six days beginning Nov. 14 and 21 days beginning Dec 16. Conflicts arose between President Bill Clinton and Congress over Congress ' proposed cuts in Medicare, education and environmental funding. When a compromise couldn ' t be reached, non-essential government offices were shut down and workers were either sent home or asked to work without pay. Closed facilities included government mu- seums and military recruitment and passport offices. Medicare con tractors were asked to continue working without pay, and the Envi- ronmental Protection Agency shut down toxic waste-site clean-up operations. Two weeks ago when a mill burned down in Massachusetts, workers received immediate assistance for child care, transportation and job training, Clinton said in a Jan. 3 press release. Last week when 2,000 workers lost their jobs at a Rhode Island factory, the Labor Depart- ment could not respond at all. A reprieve was passed Jan. 26 to keep the federal government open until Mar. 15. Students and professors felt the effects of the shutdowns. About 150 students who submitted their financial aid application after Dec. 12 found themselves waiting for school money, Larry Moeder, director of student financial assistance, said. The University also had to wait for funds. Because of delays in receiving grant money, the University could end up in the red by the dm- they received the grant money, Terry Johnsor professor of biol ogy, said. There are so many government-funde things that are necessary for people to just eat, Johnson said. Ours is a minor inconvenienc because it ' s not a matter of life and death. He said he was unsure when the Universit would receive the funding. Beverly Page, information specialist for th vice-provost of research, compiled a weekl grant-description newsletter. For about a month there was no informa tion or announcements on new grant program and no one could call and get informatio because people weren ' t available to answe questions, she said. However, for people who depended on th government for day-to-day necessities, the prob lems were more than an inconvenience. -News Section- Danny Tijerina, senior in kinesiology, watches the television at noon in the TV room of the K-State Student Union as the jury delivers its innocent verdict to O.j.

Murrah Fed- eral building in Oklahoma City was bombed April 1 9 at 9:02 a.m. The explosion killed 1 69 and injured 500 people, ranging in age from four months to 57 years. You couldn ' t see any trace of a building and all the other buildings were boarded up, Candace Butler, Bartlesville, Okla., resident and graduate stu- dent in English, said. During Christmas, there was a Christ- mas tree with presents under it. People were standing there pon- ' dering and crying in memory of : and dedication to the victims. Former Fort Pviley soldiers and Herington residents Timothy McVey, 27, and Terry Nichols,40, 5 were charged with violating 11 laws, including conspiracy to use weapons of mass destruction. The two individuals, who were indicted by a grand jury, wanted the trial relocated be- cause of the possible effects the bombing had on potential jurors and judges. In a change of venue hearing Nov. 10, prosecutors cited laws that required defendants to be tried in the district and state the crime was committed. The trial was scheduled to start May 17 in Lawton, Okla. They should be convicted. It was a terrible thing to do, Michael Smith, sophomore in fisheries and wildlife biology, said. No justice would be harsh enough, but they will eventually get what they deserve.

Mandy Magnison, sophomore in psychology, said her uncle had worked in the federal building and was driving away from the office when the force of the explosion caused his truck windows to shatter. I called home as soon as I heard it on the news, she said. I was so scared because it hit so close to home.

The assassination shocked the world and caused Israelis to wonder if their once peace- ful nation could become a society of vio- lence. Yigal Amir, Tel Aviv area resident, con- fessed to killing Rabin, the military hero who led Israel from a state of war to a peace agreement with Palestine and Arabia. The prime minister ' s death was com- memorated Nov. 13 in the K-State Student Union when B ' nai B ' rith Hillel, a Jewish student organization, and the KSU Com- mittee on Religion and Campus Ministry joined to sponsored a ceremony in memory of Rabin. Don Fallen, coordinator of religious ac- tivities for the dean of student life office, said the event ' s purpose was to remember Rabin ' s death and the hurt nation of Israel. It allowed us in our community to mourn and share our feelings and grief, he said. The ceremony created opportunities for people from all faiths to share their feelings, F allen said. The ceremony included an invocation, scripture readings and prayers from campus ministers. Students also gave reflections of Rabin ' s life. I thought the ceremony was nice, but it was held on the main floor of the Union and people were walking by and talking. It was a little odd to have a ceremony in the middle of that traffic, Debbie Perlman, senior in marketing, said. It did actually go very nicely with members of the community there, too. Fallen said about 20 students attended the ceremony. The ceremony was very helpful for the Israeli students, Fallon said. They were grieving the death of Rabin and the cer- emony helped to ease their pain. U.S. troops sent to Bosnian front line by Bill Bontempo and Heather Hollingsworth President Bill Clinton presented his case Nov. 27 from the Oval Office for sending 20,000 U.S. troops to the front line of the NATO peacekeeping force in Bosnia, hoping t o end conflicts between the Serbs, Croats and Bosnian Muslims. When the United States entered the pic- ture, Serb nationalist forces had overrun 70 percent of Bosnia ' s territory. On Sept. 4, Serbs shelled a Sarajevo mar- ketplace, killing 37 civilians. The United States, aided by its NATO allies, took action. They bombed key targets and destroyed communi- cation centers, roads and supply depots. A peace agreement was announced Nov. 21 after 21 days of negotiations at Wright- Patterson Air Force Base in Dayton, Ohio. Clinton called it a comprehensive settlement to end the war in Bosnia-Herzegovina. Stressing that America ' s role would not be fighting a war, Clinton said the peace agree- ment would require military backing. It will be about helping the people of Bosnia to secure their own peace, he said. In fulfilling this mission, we will have the chance to help stop the killing of innocent civilians, and especially children. ' ' According to a Dec. 4 press release from the Office of the Assistant Secretary of Defense, 22 U.S. Army units and five U.S. Air Force units had been identified for potential deployment in the NATO Implementation Force in Bosnia. Bart Ransone, junior in history, was one soldier deployed to Bosnia. He was the only K- State ROTC student deployed to Bosnia, but 110 Fort Riley soldiers were sent to the Euro- pean Theater for future deployment. Ransone departed for Fort Dix, N.J., en route to an eventual Bosnia mission with the 487th Engineer Platoon National Guard Unit from Washington, Kan., Dec. 26. Ransone ' s unit was deployed for 270 days and he was to return in mid-September 1996. He had an opportunity to sign an ROTC contract and get out of going to Bosnia, but he said he wanted to go, Capt. Brad Duffey, assistant professor of military science, said. After a Dec. 20-21 conference, representa- tives from 50 countries, 20 international orga- nizations, the European Commission and World Bank allocated $518 million to Bosnia- Herzegovina to cover their most urgent needs. NATO announced Jan. 6 its forces would begin foot patrols in the tense suburbs of Sarajevo held by nationalist Serb forces. The Jan. 19 withdrawal of forces from the zones of separation in Bosnia met the Dayton peace accords deadline. Meanwhile, concerned parents and loved ones awaited the return of American forces. There ' s always a chance that something could happen, Bart ' s mother, Pat Ransone, said. I ' m very proud of him, I guess my biggest problem is I ' m going to miss him. 90 -News Section- Pat Ransone pins Airborne wings onto her son, Bart Ransone, junior in history.

According to the U.N. 50th Anniversary Com- memorative Activities web page, two major events marked the peacekeeping body ' s celebration the U.N. charter was signed June 26, 1945, in San Francisco and was ratified Oct. 25 by the majority of the 5U nations who signed it. The anniversary ' s main events took place Oct. 24 in New York. Various communication projects to expand coverage of U.N. activities, conferences, symposia, concerts, an exhibits, posters and auctions punctuated the year-long 50th anniversary celebra- tion. Manuri Nakkawita, sophomore in journalism and mass communications, said her father, Janaka Nakkawita, had been a U.N. diplomat for 28 years. ' He was a representative for Sri Lanka and served as an ambassador to Pakistan. I ask my dad all the time what it is he does, Nakkawita said. All I see is him shaking a lot of d ' hands and smiling a lot. He ' s forever going to diplomatic parties and dinners. Although her father was able to participate in some of the U.N. ' s 50th anniversary commemo- rative activities, Nakkawita said he had been concerned with the war going on in Sri Lanka. He did some celebrating of the U.N. ' s 50th anniversary, but there ' s a war going on at home in Sri Lanka, she said. He ' s been very busy with that lately. Nakkawita said she was proud of her father. Sometimes, I look at him and think ' Wow, ' she said. I ' ll go to a function and watch him speak, and it ' s hard for me to believe he ' s my dad. At home, he ' s just a regular guy who plays games and listens to music. But when he goes out, he turns diplomat and shows a quiet side and talks politics. Enjoying her life in Manhattan, Nakkawita said she didn ' t tell many people she was an am bassador ' s daughter. She said she didn ' t think many people would understand what that meant. Back home, to be an ambassador ' s daughter is a big deal. It ' s a status thing, she said. But I like the local life here. Back home, I couldn ' t go anywhere without a driver and a bodyguard. Here, I can walk to class. 1995-1996 Jon. 8 The Kansas State Cotegjan celebrated 100 years of service.

(Photo by Darren Whitley) otes lined the edges of her daily planner, prioritizing a hectic schedule of classes and meetings a schedule Glamour magazine was looking for when selecting applicants for its Top 10 College Competition. An opportunity to broaden her college experience led Michelle Munson, senior in electrical engineering, to enter the contest which was based on activities and involve- ment. What you experience in the classroom is only part of your college experience, she said. In the long run, it ' s sometimes worth choosing other things over what you might be doing academically. Although she was aware of the compe- tition, Munson said she waited until the last minute to enter. I didn ' t decide to apply until literally the weekend before the application was due, she said. I did it mosdy because it looked interesting and it would be worth giving it a try. She submitted an application listing her campus activities, ranging from student gov- ernment to honor programs and councils, and an essay describing how her most signifi- cant college accomplishments related to her future plans. The one neat thing about the way they do that is they let you send in examples of your work, whatever it may be anything from a tape of a girl playing volleyball to musical tapes of a girl playing the marimbas, whatever you think defines you, she said. She not only submitted her transcript, but she also included samples of her work, recommendations and a resume. Entering the contest on a whim paid off f or Munson, who was chosen as a finalist and appeared in Glamour ' s October 1995 issue. Munson was one of 10 finalists flown to New York City for five days. She was im- pressed with the atmosphere and manner in which the competition was held when she arrived. When I went to New York, I expected it to be glitzy and very showbiz-like but it wasn ' t like that at all, Munson said.

It ' s so exciting to think that I ' m going to be able to be in contact with them.

The process of doing research takes hours of the students ' time, Gary Conrad, professor of biology, said. There are only a few experiments being conducted this year. Conrad said he believed students learned best from hands-on research, so he recruited undergraduates to help with his experiments. I would rather spend my time with the undergraduate students, because they are very interested, and we get more research done, Conrad said. One experiment Conrad and his under- graduate researchers worked on dealt with survival through prolonged space voyages. Astronauts would need to raise animals and grow plants for food to survive in space, he said. (When you) take a spaceship to Mars, you can ' t pack enough groceries, Conrad said. That means you are going to have to grow plants and animals like it was a farm on the spaceship. Diane Wells, freshman in microbiology, tested the ability of chickens and quail to survive and reproduce in zero gravity. What we are doing is seeing if every- thing develops correctly. The experiment might have a possible effect on the space program, Wells said. 1 look at different corneal nerves of chick and quail eyes that have developed in space. When Conrad discovered that silver was a water purification agent on a Russian space station, he had another young scientist ex- periment with the effects of silver on human cells. We grew all the cells, and we used different concentrations of silver on them, Chad Long, junior in biology, said. One concentration killed them within an hour. The dangerous effects discovered in the experiment caused the Russian space station to consider adopting the NASA system of purifying water with iodine. It came out with big consequences, especially the Russians ' changing their water system, Long said. Silver might end up making them have more prob- lems, such as cancers and not fighting off diseases as well. Long planned to attend medical school and hoped the researching skills he learned would benefit him. Research has made me a better thinker, Long said. It has made me a bet- ter scientist. Collecting and analyz- ing the information was a good experience for under- graduates, Wells said. I am astonished, she said. In my first semester I started out with something that would later tell us about the development in space. f f REAL SCIENTISTS biology labs a learning environment -Biology Research- As part of a project concerning the effects of silver on human cells, Long looks through a microscope at a slide of human cells.

Tutoring services were provided free of charge. (Photo by Cary Conover) 1ecomg nfused with analyzing the emand curve, students became even more frustrated when they discovered there was a waiting list for help. With 35 tutors for almost 800 students, the tutoring center needed more tutors to meet the demands of the waiting list. Falling short of the more than 40 student tutors available last year, the center placed an advertisement in the Collegian to attract potential tutors, Derrik Hubbard, tutor and senior in anthropology, said. The ad attracted more than 1 tutors in two months, he said. After it was taken out of the paper, students needing tutors were still turned away. There are thousands of classes and our budget would not allow us to hire that number of tutors, so we limit it to the basic classes like math, chemistry and physics, Hubbard said. About 80 percent of the students request assistance in those classes, so having a couple hundred people on a waiting list isn ' t that bad. Even finding a tutor for basic classes was difficult, Eric VanGaasbeek, sophomore in arts and sciences, said. He was put on waiting lists for physics, sociology and microeconomics. I ended up dropping those classes, he said. I didn ' t have the money to spend on a professional tutor and the center was what I was depending on. Students lucky enough to have tutors received free help while the tutors were paid $5 an hour through either the Education Opportunity Fund or Education Support Services. Tutoring sessions, arranged in five-member study groups, were based on the tutors ' class schedules. I think I have an ability to explain things to students that are sometimes hard to understand, Hubbard said, Spanish classes are taught in Spanish, and it is easier to understand in English. James Trout, senior in sociology, had been tutoring for four years. He said he believed the program helped the students using it. I tutored a girl about a year ago who came in with a D in Business Calculus, he said. At the end of the semester, she had an A in the class. f Jby Erin Rose; TURNED AWAY tutor shortage creates waiting lists Siii-Ming Wu, senior in electrical engineer- ing, tutors engineering physics students at the tutoring center in Leasure Hall.

A common characteristic of the women who come to the program is that they need to gain marketable skills, Shirley Marshall, program director, said. Often, though, they have low self-esteem and have come from being abused. Funded by grants, the New Directions program presented personal development workshops and helped students pay for vocational-technical classes. We ' re not a job service, Cynthia Shanley, program coordinator, said. We are basically a guidance and support service. With two teenagers and a lack of job skills, Debra Pruett, junior in sociology, realized she needed to get an education and find a job. After meeting Marshall, she decided to go to school. For some people, being stuck is not satisfactory, Marshall said. But some people don ' t know where to go for help. Women in the Crisis Center and Pawnee Mental Pruett does homework at her on-campus job. She worked as a student assistant in the sociology department to earn extra money. In order to get an education, gain job skills and build self-esteem, she became involved in the New Directions program. (Photo by Darren Whitley) Health Services have also received assistance from New Directions. Marshall sparked Pruett ' s interest in the program and Pruett began putting her life back together. The program helped build my self- esteem, she said. They presented me with options and guidance. Through the program, Pruett attended workshops about resumes, women in the work force and women of different cultures. Listening to the struggles of other women helped me realize I was not the only one who was scared, she said. I came away with a better understanding of how different each culture is and how we all need to get along. After being involved with New Directions for four years, Pruett still relied on the resources provided by the program. With Marshall ' s help, she applied for scholarships for the 1995-96 school year. Wanting to be a lawyer since childhood, Pruett needed the scholarships to continue taking sociology and criminology classes. She knew she needed to do something with her life, Marshall said. Some will often give up at first failure, and Pruett kept going. She ' s been real rewarding to work with. bv Linda Harvey A V% NEW DIRECTIONS homemakers overcome challenges After a full day on campus, Debra Pruett, junior in sociology, returns home to fix dinner for her family.

Ever since I was a child, I ' ve always had an urge to be an artist, Karen Whitmore, sopho- more in fine arts, said. Back then, I didn ' t know I could get a career in it. After going to graduate school, she wanted to work for either Monet or Tiffany ' s on a design team. Whitmore became in- terested in jewelry making when she visited her uncle ' s jewelry store in California. He had all these con- traptions for cleaning the pieces and he had a story behind every stone in the store, Whitmore said. I think all girls love jewelry. Whitmore and Lee Hallagin, senior in fine arts, were students of Elliott Pujol, professor of art. When Whitmore started taking art classes, her mentor was Michael Mastranardi, professor of fine arts. He inspired her to Pieces of a metalsmithing project sit on a work table in front of Jon Radermacher, sophomore in fine arts. The pieces were set with black plastic glass and fitted together to form a candle holder. Students worked on a variety of projects besides pieces of jewelry.

He al- ways told me not to lose faith. Mastranardi left in summer 1995 and was replaced by Pujol, who taught the jewelry and metalsmithing class. He ' s an excellent teacher who be- lieves in a more formatted style of teach- ing, Whitmore said about Pujol. He ' s a lot more structured than Mastranardi. Pujol pushed his students and was dedicated to teaching, Hallagin said. If I ' ve got a problem, he usually comes up with a number of different ways to solve it, he said. He pushed us to beyond the obvious solutions. Whitmore said Pujol had a more structured teaching style because he wanted students to get hands-on experi- ence. They design something and then go through the actual process of designing, researching and constructing a piece, Pujol said. My main goal is for them to have enough knowledge so they have a full understanding of what ' s out there.

It ' s so much fun, Whitmore said. I have people coming up to me and asking me where I got that piece of jewelry and when I tell them that I made it, they want me to make them one, too. Although she aspired to work for a large jewelry company, Whitmore said she wanted to design different kinds of jewelry. My ultimate goal would be to design rings, bracelets, necklaces and things like that, Whitmore said. I don ' t want to de- sign just fine jewelry. Hallagin became involved in jewelry making and metalsmithing as a hobby. A friend introduced me to the classes, he said. I really enjoyed them and changed my major. Hallagin was originally a chemical engi- neering major. It ' s hard trying to get something that looks good, he said. You almost have to be an engineer to do it right. Making the pieces fit was a major part of designing, Hallagin said. You have to make sure the pieces have structural integrity, Hallagin said. They have to conform to the body. He hoped to someday start his own business. i would ultimately f fj h ave people coming up to like to open my own stu- dio, he said.

Enrollment had increased 13 percent since 1989 as state funding dropped due to cuts in government funding, Susan Peterson, assistant to the president, said. Each department was responsible for cutting their own spending. Administrators were uncertain as to how the financial cuts would affect the University, Tom Rawson, vice president for administration and finance, said. We ' re going to take a big dip, but we will be back to the normal rate by 2000, Peterson said. That is if nothing changes. The University expected a period of enrollment growth for the next six to eight years, Jim Coffinan, provost, said. K-State gets back all its tuition money, Coffinan said. But the more tuition revenue we make, the less additional funding we get from the state. The University com- peted with all regent and public schools, and other state agencies for the same pool of funds. In the 1995 legislative budget, $138 Standing outside the enrollment center in Willard Hall, Hollis Berry, freshman in applied music, studies a line schedule to find a class to take. Due to an increase in enrollment, students found getting into desired classes more difficult. (Photo by Tye Derrington) million was alloted for the pool. However, this number dipped to $14 million in the 1996 budget, Peterson said. In future years, the University might receive more funds, but it was hard to predict state funding, Peterson said. We ' ve really stretched all our resources, human and physical, to the max, she said. We ' ve asked and people have worked really hard at it. For every dollar its peer universities received, such as the University of North Carolina, the University received 88 cents. We ' ve been running short funded, a lot less than our peer institutes, Peterson said. Our benchmark is our peers, and we really are far behind them. In June, the Kansas Board of Regents approved linear fees to help keep future tuition increases minimal. However, because of the decrease in funding, students paid a larger part of their educational costs than in the past, Coffinan said. Matt Weller, freshman in pre -journalism and mass communications, was forced work to pay for his tuition. For most people, it ' s not just going to college anymore, he said. You have to get a job to help pay for tuition, because otherwise it ' s too expensive. f SHORTAGE high enrollment causes money loss Elaine Baxter, enrollment center employee, works at the printing station handing out finalized schedules to students.

Some went beyond that to teach a language that was not just foreign to students, but also to themselves. Adam White, junior in music education, took a German class from Heqing Chen, Chinese native and graduate student in modern languages. We get a different perspective than from a regular American teacher since she ' s trilin- gual, White said. She does a fine job. He said he thought Chen had a better understanding than most teachers of the language differences and seemed to know German better than English. This some- times made it difficult to understand her, White said. (Problems with under- standing) happen occasion- ally, White said. She ' s said things like, ' When you take your vocation, ' instead of ' vacation. ' Chen said she enjoyed teaching German, despite oc- casional misunderstandings.

Timothy Etzel, sophomore in nuclear engineering, said he enjoyed being in French II taught by Patti Noisangsri, Thailand na- tive and graduate student in modern lan- guages. Her accent was a little strange at first and was tough to get used to, Etzel said. But she tries really hard and she ' s a really good teacher. Noisaengsri said she taught French in- stead of her native Thai language because the University did not offer Thai. Teaching languages that were not native to her made it difficult to keep words straight, she said. It ' s not that hard because I love French and I started learning it my first year of high school, she said. The thing that ' s hard is to teach my students to love French like I do. Noisaengsri said she did not have prob- lems teaching French except when she con- fused English and French. Sometimes when I want to speak French, English comes out or when I want to speak English, French comes out, she said. I don ' t think in Thai anymore because it causes problems trying to have three lan- guages in one brain.

I ' m doing this by choice in a way, Chris Bosco, senior in milling science man- agement, said. It ' s either stay an extra se- mester or take a 24-hour semester in the spring to get out in four years. Bosco said the extra se- mester not only allowed him to finish his degree, but also receive a business minor that he might not have had origi- nally. It ' s frustrating to say I ' m not graduating with everyone else, Bosco said. It ' s kind of like the stigma in elementary school. Sometimes I feel like I ' m being held back. Bosco had always taken at least 14 hours a semester, but with his major, the Uni- versity recommended taking 1 7 hours a semester. Realistically, it ' s gotten to the point where people need to realize they can ' t get out in four years without pushing it and that ' s no way to enjoy college, Bosco said. Staying in college an extra year provided an opportunity for Kurt Guth, senior in study and further enjoy college life. It ' s smart to stay five years, but I think a lot depends on your maturity level, Guth said. Staying another year gives you an opportunity to gain more knowledge. I don ' t think I ' ll be prepared enough for the real world after four years. Studying abroad also slowed the four- year graduation plan. Kris Goering, senior in secondary edu- cation, said she had an extra year of college because she spent a year studying in France and was also indecisive about her major. Looking back, I ' m frustrated that I changed my major a million times, Goering said. I could ' ve avoided staying an extra year if I ' d decided what I wanted to do earlier. She said it was worth staying an addi- tional year to have the opportunity to study in France, but like Bosco, said she sometimes felt left behind. Most of my friends have moved on, Goering said. They have real jobs and real money, and here I am. Paul Yates, junior in chemical engineer- ing, said he did not know when he would graduate. Basically, I ' m indecisive about what I want to be and where I want to be at, Yates said. But, I am having a good time and accounting, to learn more about his area of enjoying college life to the fullest extent. j b Ijffn icrly Hefling GRADUATION DELAY students forced into five-year plan Deans Electrical Engineering Front Row: Timothy Donoghue, James Coffman, Barbara Stowe, Mike Holen, Ronald Marler.

K-State-Salina acquired two turbine-powered helicopters from the Kansas Highway Patrol as part of a joint effort to train highway patrol pilots. The helicopters, originally military surplus copters, were used as part of the highway patrol ' s drug interdiction program. (Photo by Jill Jarsulic) lessons in flight (continued from page H2) One, they asked us to certify the heli- copters from the surplus to civilian cat- egory, Barnard said. Two, they asked us to maintain the aircraft after they had been certified. Three, they asked us to train their airplane pilots to be helicopter pilots. Before the officers could fly the helicop- ters, however, they had to meet three re- quirements, including completing 15 hours of both dual and solo flight, passing a check flight with the Federal Aviation Adminis- tration, and obtaining a commercially rated helicopter pilot ' s license. In addition, the highway patrol asked the University to train their airplane pilots in helicopter flight techniques. Of 16 highway patrol pilots, five were selected for the program, including Trooper Pilot One Brad Seacat. We all started our helicopter training back in September, Seacat said. Five of us are being trained from ground up. Three highway patrol pilots were trained during the fall semester and the remaining two were trained in the spring. Law enforcement flying was not merely flying from point A to point B, since it also included drug raids, manhunts and service renderings, Seacat said. The K-State-Salina flight program was beneficial, he said. It was very good training primarily be- cause of the experience of our flight instruc- tor, Seacat said. He was flying helicopters before I was even born. Geography Geology Front Row: Stephen Stover, Charles Bussing. John Harrington Jr., Stephen White, M. Duane Nellis, Douglas Goodm.

Engine problems forced Seacat to seek assistance from a hanger mechanic. In exchange for the flight training, the Highway Patrol gave K-State-Salina two helicopters that were worth about $300,000 combined. The helicopters were to be used primarily to spot outdoor grown marijuana plants.

Only one entrance to the library combined with the constant moving of construction materials caused inconve- niences for students. Construc- tion, that began in August 1 994, was expected to be com- pleted by February 1997. (Photo by Tye Derrington) should have been hours of uninterrupted silent study time in Farrell Library turned out to be hours of relendess pounding and con- fusion. People were wandering around, not knowing where the books were, Chris Kleidotsy, library employee and senior in secondary education, said. It ' s been terrible, books being shifted around, the dirt, dust and water leaks. The construction, which began in 1994, doubled the library ' s floor size, increased seating occupancy to 2,000 and created more room for a larger collection of resource materials. Students not only dealt with an expand- ing building, but also the coming of a new name. Following a $2 million donation made by Joseph and Joyce Hale, Overland Park alumni, University administrators decided the facility needed a new name. With no money coming from the state, the money is coming from donations, Brice Hobrock, dean of libraries, said. It reflects that with the changing times, we must find money from private donors. Students said they were not well in- formed about the name change that was to come with the completion of the construc- tion. I think the students should have been consulted, Rob Macdougall, freshman in engineering, said. It ' s our library and we are putting our money into it. The administration hoped to obtain about $5 million from student fees, which cost each student $9.27 per semester to help finance the project. The library ' s $28-million expansion and renovation was to be completed by spring 1997. The quality of the old library was so poor, Hobrock said. This time we ' re building a quality facility that will not look a 1 00 years old right after we build it, complete with air conditioning, quality seats, 24-hour study area with a food facility and the latest in electrical systems. Students and faculty were anxious about having a larger, modern and more convenient library at their disposal. We will finally have a facility that is student- friendly and one of the finest in the nation, Hobrock said. We wouldn ' t have been able to do it without the students ' help. They have been very accommodating. FRIENDLY f s a research paper deadline looms, Dennis Heasy, graduate student in public advertising, thumbs through books in Farrell Library.

We have big tubs of different organs, like we might have a tub of 10 to 15 hearts, Brook Donley, junior in pre-physical therapy, said. Everyone gets a heart or a limb to learn with. Reid Bauersfeld, sophomore in kinesi- ology, said he liked the knowledge he gained from working with the organs. It ' s like when you were a little kid and had a toy box, but now your toys are parts of a human body, he said. During the lab, students studied human anatomy using three bodies, which were rented from the University of Kansas Medi- cal Center. Ann Smith, associate professor of biol- ogy, said nearly 95 percent of colleges do not work with cadavers because bodies are hard to obtain. We are fortunate in Kansas because back in the 1970s the head of the KU medical department went across Kansas asking people to donate their bodies to science and he had a good response, she said. Smith said because of the good response, KU Medical Center had enough bodies to be able to rent out three to K-State each semes- ter. Dissection of the bodies was done by two cadaver teams, consisting of 16 stu- dents each. To become a member of the team, students applied on the first day of class and the professor selected 32 students from a group of about 60, based on grades, major, schedule and a short essay. Members learned the material three weeks before the other students and spent an additional four hours a week in lab with no extra credit. We are graded tougher. We need to get all the spellings correct to receive all points, Donley said. The regular students get extra credit on the test if they get all the spelling correct. What the students on the team did get was extra time working with an actual hu- man body, giving them a better understand- ing of the anatomy. It is a lot more work, but it is definitely worth it, Donley said. I would not trade it for anything. After dissecting the cadavers, members of the team showed the other students what they had learned, because not all students were allowed to work hands-on with the cadavers. Instead, they dissected rats during labs because rat anatomy was similiar to human anatomy. In our labs we basically find the same parts of the anatomy as the cadaver team, we just find them in a rat, Russ Radi, junior in pre-physical therapy, said. Unlike other classes, outside students were not allowed to sit in on the labs. These people donated their bodies for science and education, not to be viewed casu- ally by people who just want to drop by, Ron Gaines, assistant instructor of biology, said. Heather Lee, senior in life science, observes a microscopic slide of human kidney cells and records her information. Students in human body class spent six hours a week in lab recording observations of human and rat anatomy. An additional four hours were spent in lecture.

Students had the opportunity to observe a dissected cadaver rented from the University of Kansas Medical School. Actual dissection of the cadavers was done in a specially selected lab. The lab consisted of two, 16-member teams. Students interested in being part of the cadaver team had to apply and be accepted by the instructor. The students selected found the lab beneficial and worth the additional work. You get more knowledge of the human anatomy because you are actually dissecting a human body, Ladonna Kohl, junior in pre-occupational therapy, said.

But it ' s not ready yet, Jacob, a grinning 3-year-old, said as he re- moved an empty yellow pot from a plastic stove. Blueberry soup, building blocks and tons of imagination greeted visitors to the KSU Child Development Center, the sec- ond largest of its kind in the state. These children are at an age of unbe- lievable creativity, Heidi Hall, assistant pre- school teacher, said. This is the perfect time to teach them interactive skills, how to work and share together. Programs were avail- able for toddlers, pre- schoolers and kindergart- ners. Options were offered, including full-day and half- day classes, and care for school-age children on in- service days, Lorna Ford, KSUCDC director, said. The center, located in Jardine Terrace Apartments, was open to the children of students, faculty and staff. Ford said 25 full-time staff members worked with more than 1 80 children in the two-story structure. The preschool room overflowed with colorful drawings, clay sculptures and art created by the children. Ashley, a 4-year- old, sketched a blue, green and purple stick figure. Look, it ' s Mrs. Karla, she said. Karla Heck was the preschool lead in- structor. This is an impressionable age. I ' m imi- tated, Heck said. I have to be a referee, teacher, mother and doctor, but above all else I ' m a role model. Niki Schlabach, junior in business ad- ministration, worked as a substitute teacher and office personnel. She said the center ' s program format Was different than she had expected. I grew up in a large family and baby-sat quite a lot. The center is more than baby- sitting, Schlabach said. Teachers create daily lesson plans and activities for the chil- dren which help them grow as communica- tors and thinkers. Children learned respect and responsi- bility from being around the center ' s pets. Anxious preschoolers greeted Maxine, the resident hamster, as she appeared sleepy- eyed from her nest. They struggled to pet Maxine as Heck calmly asked them to be gentle and patient. The children are responsible for feed- ing the animals, Heck said. Not only are they learning responsibility, they are acquir- ing respect towards animals, towards any- thing. by Eric Beikmann encouraging childhood imagination During afternoon playtime at the KSU Child Development Center, Jennifer Elliott, sophomore in elemen- tary education, shows a student how to listen to his heartbeat with a toy stethoscope.

They ask if I have a boyfriend and I can tell them the truth. They are real nice and friendly and you could tell them anything and they won ' t tell anyone. Sumner said she thought the Be Your Best program was beneficial to both the college students and the young girls enrolled in the program. Volunteers from Marlene Howell ' s women ' s studies class got to see how the activities affect the girls by social class, gender, etc., Choitz said. Education students also benefted from what the pro- gram had to offer. As a future teacher, I get exposure to kids, and since it ' s outside the classroom, it ' s a lot less structured, so we get to know the girls better, she said. Girl Scouts became guinea pigs for future teachers who were eager to test educational practices on students. The College of Education students are getting hands-on experience with the things that they are learning in theory in the class- room, Vickie Choitz, co-coordinator of the program and senior in political science, said. The girls seem to be more active after they go through the program. Choitz said she thought the eagerness of the girls was due to the variety of activities provided by the program.

They had the opportunity of working with student volunteers in the Girl Scouts ' Be Your Best program, aimed at increasing the girls ' abilities, self-confidence and cul- tural awareness and promoting healthy lifestyles. Volunteers received three credit hours for taking a class offered in connection with the Be Your Best program. Students became involved after signing up in education or women ' s studies classes. They worked with Girl Scouts in the fourth through ninth grade, keeping them on task at the weekly meetings and helping prepare activities for these meetings. Usually you take a group of five or six girls and keep them on task, Susan Sumner, program volunteer and senior in elementary education, said. We just make sure they ' re doing what they ' re supposed to be doing. Faith Brooks, program volunteer and jun- ior in apparel design, saw benefits to Be Your Best. The girls are getting educated because the programs on Tuesdays all have different topics that are educational and interesting, she said. They get to know a lot of girls from other schools, and they learn to relate and communicate. The Girl Scouts participated in aerobics, theater, community service and horseback riding through the program. Older girls attended K-State women ' s basketball games and informational career sessions among other events. LaKeisha Lawrence, Be Your Best par- ticipant and sixth grader at Northview El- ementary School in Manhattan, said she enjoyed working with the college volun- teers because they seemed to be in touch with the girls.

(Photo by Cary Conover) mutual learning (continued from page 123) I think a lot of it is that they are doing different things than they would usually get to do after school, Choitzsaid. It increases their abilities and confidence by knowing that they can do these things. She took over Be Your Best after the program ' s failure in fall 1994. Only 10 Girl Scouts were involved the first semester of the revised program, but numbers increased to 83 middle and grade school girls and 35 college students in fall 1995. I think the main problem in the past was that they weren ' t planning activities that would interest the girls, Choitz said. They need active things to do that will also be educational. Surrounded by positive role models, the girls learned that success could be achieved and was within their grasp, Jeana Bolton, program specialist and senior in speech com- munication, said. We have a lot of younger girls from a lower socio-economic status and from single parent households, Bolton said. They see successful people who have not only made it through high school but are making it through college. The program was underwritten by orga- nizational grants from the Manhattan Yes Fund in fall 1995. We receive grants by semester, Bolton said. Funding is up in the air until the last minute. Without proper funding, the positive effects of the program would be lost. We can ' t change the world through a 12-week program, she said. We need to keep going, but we have to have the funding to do it. According to Sumner, the program seemed to suc- ceed in making the girls feel better about themselves. They get added self-es- teem because it ' s all posi- tive. No negative comments are allowed, Sumner said. They learn to like themselves a little more because this is the age they start getting more self-con- scious. The College of Education stu- dents are getting hands-on ex- perience with the things that they are learning in theory in the classroom. -VICKIE CHOITZ CO-COORDINATOR OF BE YOUR BEST AND SENIOR IN POLITICAL SCIENCE -Girl Scouts- 125 docents and i management interns at the Sun- set Zoological Park discovered education was more than textbooks and black boards it also involved taking care of lions, tigers and bears. Zoo training provided hands-on experi- ence that helped zoo interns and docents build on classroom activities. In class, I learn a lot about farm ani- mals, Christina Madden, se- nior in animal science and industry, said. At the zoo, I learn about exotic animals and how they behave in the wild. The internship program began with a 10- week train- ing period that all students were required to attend be- fore working at the zoo. I ' m taking the class to learn about the types of ani- mals at the zoo, Amanda Mouradian, freshman in pre- veterinary medicine, said. I ' ve learned that hoses al- ways work well to control animals. Mouradian said the zoo was a great place to gain ex- perience since she enjoyed working with animals and educating people about them. I thought it would be a good place to start gaining zoo experience, she said. It helped me gain experience for admittance to vet school. During the decent program, animals were brought in each week to teach students facts about each animal. With this information, docents gave fact-based tours, Mouradian said. One week ' s animal was a three-inch long Madagascar cockroach. It was about the size of my palm, Mouradian said. It was a very clean crea- ture with hooks on its feet so it could hold on if you turned your hand upside down. After completing the training program, students worked various jobs at the zoo. I work at the ticket booth for a job, and I also volunteer as a decent, Madden said. As a volunteer, she began planning for her future. I ' d like to start out as a zookeeper and move up from there, she said. Obtaining the title zookeeper, required more than just the obvious. Docents did not just give tours; they also assisted in providing education through the animals. I ' m in decent training because I think zoos are really neat and I want to become a zoo veterinarian, Mouradian said.

He later became an intern at the zoo. My time spent at the zoo is never routine. There ' s al- ways something new and dif- ferent to do, Godlove said. One day I ' m cleaning cages in the primate building, the next, I ' m attending meetings with administrators. To meet their internship requirements, students com- pleted a 50-hour project that included education, research and animal management. Godlove developed a program that al- lowed Boy Scouts to earn merit badges for learning about nature and mammals. I was involved with Boy Scouts through- out grade school and high school, Godlove said. I decided this would be a great area to focus my project. About five students participated in the internship program each semester, working one-on-one with administrators and animal keepers. All interns were required to also be docents, Angie Fenstermacher, director of marketing and development at Sunset Zoo, said. (The internship) is an intense program with a high success rate, Fenstermacher said. Because our staff works by the side of zookeepers, administrators and maintenance staff, our interns develop the skills and talent necessary to find a good job. Upon their completion of the 720-hour internship program, two of the Sunset Zoo student interns went on to become director of the Abilene Zoo in Abilene, Texas, as well as the Sedgwick County Zoo director in Wichita, Schanee Johnson, curator of education, said. The majority of zoo-internship gradu- ates do end up getting positions at other zoos, Johnson said. Students leave our program knowledgeable and well-trained.

It ' s just adding . II one more step. -ABBEY NUTSCH RESEARCH ASSISTANT AND GRADUATE STUDENT IN FOOD SCIENCE asteurization, a process developed at K-State, could revolutionize the beef slaughter indus- try, making meat safer for consumption and bringing the University national attention. The agriculture department was se- lected by Cargill and Frigoscandia, food pro- cessing equipment companies, to conduct a 13-month test to determine the effectiveness of a process for killing bacteria that caused diseases in humans. It ' s kind of like adding mousse to your hair when you normally only wash and dry it, Abbey Nutsch, re- search assistant and graduate student in food science, said. It ' s not changing anything they previously did. It ' s just adding one more step. The process took the carcass through a 32-foot steam chamber to kill Salmo- nella, E. coli and Listeria. The pressurized cham- ber causes the steam to condense like a blanket on the carcass and heat it up to about 200 degrees Fahrenheit, Randall Phebus, assistant professor of animal sciences, said. When it condenses, it kills the bacteria. Nutsch gathered 1 40 samples from beef carcasses to test the effectiveness of the new process. The promising results were to be sent to the Department of Agriculture during No- vember, Phebus said. Assuming the data looks as good as we think it does, the USDA Food Safety and Inspection Service will approve the steam pasteurization chamber to go into many slaughter chambers across the United States, he said. He called the steam pasteurization de- velopment an engineering feat that could redeem the beef industry for the first time since the 1 992 Seattle, Wash., Jack in the Box scare that killed seven children and made more than 500 people sick. This is the most exciting time that we ' ve seen in the last several decades of the meat industry, Phebus said. Cargill and Frigoscandia selected the University to do the tests because it was known for its beef safety testing. Although K-State had no claim to the patent, Phebus said the research could bring in more grants and national recognition. The thing about this product is that it ' s so unique, Nutsch said. It ' s once in a great while that someone comes up with a new process that we can evaluate and get to the commercial level so quickly. f f by Jeni Pruitt TESTING FOR SAFETY revolutionary process kills bacteria Examining a bacteria sample, Abbey Nutsch, graduate student in food science, tests the effectiveness of a new steam pasteuriza- tion process, which takes beef carcasses through a 32-foot steam chamber to kill Salmo- nella, E. coli and Listeria.

In 1882, Jesse James was killed and buried at the James farm under a tree. Around the turn of the century, his wife was buried at the Mount Olivet Cemetery in Kearney, Mo. James was exhumed to be reburied beside his wife. It was a wet, rainy day as they lifted the coffin out of the ground, and the bottom fell out of the coffin, Dr. Michael Finnegan, professor of social anthropology and social work, said. All the bones fell out of the coffin. They picked up all of the bones of course they didn ' t but they picked up everything they could see. James was then put in a new casket and buried at the cemetery, he said. Finnegan ' s first analysis ofjames was in the late 1970s. He examined the bones that fell out of the coffin at the original burial site. In his second analysis, Finnegan studied the remains buried next to James ' wife. The bones were analyzed at K-State fromjuly 20 to Oct. 27. Many long nights went into the analysis while the remains were at the Uni- versity. The long hours are part of the job, it doesn ' t matter that it was Jesse James, he said. James was returned to Missouri for reburial Oct. 27. Legally, the remains were to be rebur- ied 90 days after the exhumation, but putting Jesse James back in the ground on the 31st of October, being Halloween, would be just a little gruesome, Finnegan said.

Bringing the alumni back to the Uni- versity to analyze James was good for the graduates be- cause it gave them experi- ence, Finnegan said. Anthropology students agreed the analysis had sev- eral positive effects. I thought it was great that K-State had such a big part of it and that Finnegan actually got invited to do it, Amanda Cook, sophomore in anthropology, said. I think it shows a lot of our professors ' qualifications. The publicity was good for the anthro- pology department, Karen Book, senior in anthropology, said. Our program is not very big and I think this drew a lot of attention to it, she said. The national attention could help in the anthropology department and beyond, Finnegan said.

You get to see firsthand if something works without a professor telling you what to do, Ja- son Johnson, senior in physical education, said. You get immediate feed- back. Student teaching was the final phase in the under- graduate education curricu- lum, Ray Kurtz, chair of the elementary education de- partment, said. In the past, only seniors had been in- volved in classroom partici- pation, but in recent years juniors had followed suit, he said. Student teaching gives them the chance to partici- pate in parent conferences, classroom control and teach- ing lessons in an environ- ment where they get feed- back from the cooperating teacher and the university supervisor, Kurtz said. Johnson said when he began student teaching, he did not know exactly how to relate to elementary children and what sort of disciplinary techniques to use. I was pretty nervous, Johnson said. I really thought the little kids would walk all over me. After spending time in elementary physical education at Woodrow Wilson and Northview elementary schools in Manhat- tan, he said he learned to take control right away and set limits when managing the class. Kena Tague, senior in English, said at first she had been concerned about how close in age she was with her Manhattan High School English students. This concern was laid to rest after entering the classroom, she said. It ' s a lot more comfortable and easier than I thought it would be in front of the kids, Tague said. We may be pretty close in age, but college and high school are worlds apart. They think I ' m old, and I feel old. As a student teacher, Tague planned literature units for both her sophomore and freshman English classes. It ' s pretty difficult because you have to think of something to do every day, remem- ber your objectives for testing and tie it all together, she said. It ' s more difficult before you begin teaching because you don ' t really know how long things take.

With all the resources available from textbooks, other student teach- ers and from my cooperating teacher, I had plenty to do, he said. Graduate students also spent time in classrooms as student teachers. Stephanie Dyck, graduate stu- dent in special education, worked with Manhattan students with learn- ing and behavioral disorders. Kids with learning disabilities are taught learning strategies, Dyck said. With kids with behavioral dis- orders, part of it is teaching them social skills and how to interact with other people. In addition to teaching, practicums were responsible for writing lesson plans and tests. I write my own units, make up my own composition assignments and handouts, and assign grades, Tague said. One of the things Tague found to be difficult was writing the tests. It ' s difficult when you are used to college tests to decide how much high school sophomores should know, she said. I mostly go on what I think they should know. Student teachers kept a journal and collected their assignments to create a portfolio of their classroom time. This information was turned in to the student ' s University supervi- sor at the end of each semester. The supervisors also observed one class period every two weeks. She sits in the back of the classroom and critiques me, Tague said. She tells me what I need to work on and what she likes. She ' s really posi- tive. After testing her skills in the classroom, Tague said she would feel more comfortable conducting a class of her own some day. I felt much more prepared, she said. I ' m not quite ready for my own class, but I ' m definitely getting the hang of it. William Shakespeare ' s Romeo and Juliet provides a discussion topic for Tague during an advanced freshman English class. Tague had worried about teaching students who were close in age to her, but those early worries subsided throughout the semester. We may be pretty close in age, but college and high school are worlds apart, she said. They think I ' m old, and I feel old.

Because of this health kick, a seven- member team of students and faculty worked on developing a low-fat, nutritious snack. We are a nation of snackers, Carole Setser, professor of foods and nutrition, said. We want to develop a product that people could sit in front of the television at night and indulge in without feeling guilty. The bite-size snacks were shaped like miniature bread loaves, Carol Klopfenstein, professor of grain science and industry, said. The snacks were made from corn flour and other additives. The snacks are crisper than bread. They have waffle-cone textures and look like fine-grained bread, she said. They ' re crunchy like waffle cones. An extrusion process was used to make the snack. The process, using high tempera- tures and elevated pressure, was a popular food process- ing method that required little baking, Klopfenstein said. Extrusion is a continu- ous process and it can run 24 hours a day, Shanna Claytor, graduate student in grain science, said. You can make more products faster, and profit can be increased. Developers had not yet begun working on the snack ' s taste, as they had been focus- ing more on the texture of the product. Achieving the nutritional quality is easier than achieving sensory characteristics, Setser said. We can accomplish a product, but not necessarily great sensory characteristics. We are worried not just about taste, but also texture properties, she said. We have to achieve satisfactory texture properties. These properties included brittleness, crunchiness, hardness and crispness. Right now we ' re looking at how prop- erties are changing when we change the conditions. Each condition alters so many things that it is very unpredictable, Setser said. Previously published formulas provided a base recipe for the nutritional snack. Ultimately, we will look at characteris- tics of products that are already on the market, Setser said. We ' ll then see how close we are to achieving those characteris- tics that appeal to the market. Klopfenstein originally came up with the idea for the project, which the team had been working on for three years. We ' re making good progress. Right now it ' s just good, not outstanding, Klopfenstein said. When we have a really good product, it is almost a guaranteed success in the market place. Carol Klopfenstein, professor in grain science and industry, tastes a sample of the extruded food made from corn flour and other additives. Kopfenstein was part of a seven- member team working on the development of nutritional, bite-sized snack foods.

Leipold ' s death left boxes of slides, notes and reports that students analyzed and catalogued for future reference in other genetic-disorder research projects. (Photo by Shane Keyser) Edwards herds two Angus cows impaired with lop ear towards a chute. Although the deformity was minor compared to the split-face deformity, the condition usually resulted in deafness because the flopping over of the ears prevented the ear canals from opening properly. In this deformity, the cattle ' s ear canals were only as large as a needle point. In spite of the deformities, the cattle were usually in good health. (Photo by Shane Keyser) 140 -Deformed Cattle- started mouths, separated noses and .lisfigured limbs inspired two students to continue the work of a deceased professor. For the past 27 years, the K-State Research Farm targeted mutations of the ears, limbs, face and skin of cattle. Horst Leipold, professor of pathology, began his research in 1968. When he died in April 1995, he had discovered 23 different defects. Of the 10-15 cattle researched, two split-faced Holsteins, Funny Face and Silly Face, had the most apparent disorders. We are lucky to have these (cattle), Vrenda Pritchard, graduate student in animal science, said. They are the only ones (with this genetic defect) that we know of in the nation. One of the catde ' s horns projected side- ways from its head and its mouth was in the middle of its nose with a nostril on each side. The animal ' s teeth protruded from the open- ing, revealing a throat full of chewed hay. That ' s Funny Face, one of our better known cows on the farm, Pritchard said. She was Dr. Leipold ' s favorite, probably because she was the first that we had ever seen. Through his research, Leipold de- veloped a network of people concerned with genetic disorders, including Lloyd Willard, instructor of diagnostic medicine and pathology, who started working with him in the late ' 60s. He was always very willing to go out on a limb, Willard said. I think that was how he discovered a lot of the problems. Genetic research of cattle continued when Pritchard and JJ. Edwards, senior in animal sciences and industry, picked up where Leipold left off. Many of the cattle they worked with had been donated by local farmers hoping to find GENETIC a reason for mysterious defects that had appeared in their herds. Many times Dr. Leipold would receive calls from distressed farmers who had found some form of defect in the offspring of their cattle, Pritchard said. He could usually tell what was wrong just by talking to the farmer over the phone. Because the cattle were donated on a confidential basis, pictures could only be taken for educational use. People don ' t want these pictures getting out, Pritchard said. They are afriad that people will find out and think there is something wrong with their entire herd. In spite of their appearances and genetic disorders, most of the cattle required no special attention. Really, the only thing they may need is a little tender loving care, Pritchard said. Edwards said he hoped the experience he gained from working with the animals would help him. It ' s been a give-and- take deal, but I like doing things like this, Edwards said. It has broadened my laboratory techniques and will look good on a resume. Working with physi- cally disabled animals was difficult. The appearance I didn ' t mind. I felt sorry for them at times, Pritchard said. It just bothered me that there are animals like this out there and no one was doing anything about it. I guess working with them helped to take the sting away. Loading a syringe with Lutalyse, Edwards, prepares to inject an Angus cow. The injection, which brought the cow into heat within 48 hours, was part of an experiment aimed at isolating the gene that caused lop ear and breeding it out of the species.

The little boy dodged a group of parents to make it to his destination the face-painting room. The student companion was a member of the Council for Exceptional Children and the little boy was in a family with a disabled child. Family Enhancement Weekend, sponsored annually by Families Together, a nonprofit organization, helped parents of disabled and special needs children leam about available educational resources for their children. About 10 to 15 CEC members worked as compan- ions for the disabled and special needs children Nov. 1 1-12 during the event at the Manhattan Holidome. Basically, when we have a family enhancement weekend, the parents can get to know the things they need to know and not worry about where their kids are, Patty Gredel, executive director of Families Together, said. While the parents attended sessions, their children remained with companions who entertained them with activities such as decorating cookies, putting on fake tattoos and watching movies. We have 40 companions, one-on-one for each child, Gredel said. CEC helped with Family Enhancement Weekend every year. We work closely with K-State, Gredel said. A lot of the students are going into special education and this is good experience. Although the weekend was spent with special needs children, Kristen McGrath, club president and senior in elementary education, said CEC ' s membership was not limited to special education majors. The organization is not just for people who are going into special education, she said. We open the meetings up for anyone going into teaching. Debbie Munson, club vice president and senior in elementary education, said the important part of work- ing with disabled and special needs children was under- standing they were like other children. I learned that children with disabilities are just like normal children, she said. They love to play and they are interested in music and reading. 144 -CEC- While his par- ents attend meetings learn- ing how to deal with a handi- capped child, 5- year-old Andrew makes pillows with his student companion Dave Golecki, sopho- more in elemen- tary education.

Dick, a na- tive of England, had 15 years ex- perience playing snooker, a game similar to pool and billiards. This year the billiards league had more teams than in past years. 50 to 60 students partici- pated in the league each se- mester, but the players wished more students would get in- volved. Playing in the K-State Student Union offered partici- pants a more convenient and cheaper way to play pool. The league also pro- vided competetion for the players. (Photo by Kyle Wyatt) pool (continued from page 147) Players said the league was a good idea, but they wished more students participated. Between 50 and 60 students played each semester, Garetson said. There are more teams than in the past, but I think that it needs more publicity, Shirley said. I think if students knew more about it, there would be even more participation. C.W. Cheney, senior in recreation and parks admin- istration, said the tournaments helped students relax and provided them an escape from school work. It ' s a break in the everyday routine, Cheney said. It ' s a good extracurricular activity. I think more people should participate to really fill out the leagues nicely. Weather conditions were a variable in student par- ticipation. Numbers decreased during the fall because weather was still nice and people wanted to be outside, Garetson said. During the spring, numbers are up because it ' s still dark and cold at night so they ' ll call in and play in a league, he said. The most beneficial aspect of the tournament was that it was a cheap way for students to play pool, Garetson said. It ' s an extremely inexpensive way for them to spend their money, he said. Their entire league bill could be spent somewhere else in one night. Players met before league play started and discussed whether or not they wanted to provide awards for the winners. If they decided to have awards, the players had to foot the bill for the trophy or plaque. We decided to not go with the trophy, but to offer some cash prizes, Shirley said. It costs $12 to $14 to play in the tournament and some people have also paid an extra $10. At the end of the tournament the top three places will split up the money in the pot. Many students involved weren ' t out for a trophy. I ' d say half are there to compete and the other half are there to have fun, Cheney said. It really mixes well. Most students involved in the tournaments were men, but the women who played did not feel intimi- dated, Lindsay Mallory, freshman in engineering, said. They ' re a lot of fun to play with, Mallory said. We haven ' t met anyone who didn ' t want to play us because we were girls. Some doubles teams had played together for several semesters. Cheney and Shirley had played together for three semesters and said they had an advantage because of their experience. You kind of know how each other shoots and know they ' re dependable, Cheney said. Knowing how they respond to certain things is also good for the team. -Billards League- 149 ALPHA GAMMA EPSILON Front Row: Lisa McDougal, Cathalee Schemper, Karleen Ploutz, Abby Haverkamp, Brandi Watson.

The sales, which continued throughout the year, raised money for members to attend the National Conference of Educa- tion of Ceramic Arts in Rochester, N.Y. Of the 1 5 club members, 1 3 planned to attend the National Conference Mar. 19-23. A lot of hard work goes into getting us there, Sonya PauKune, Potters ' Guild president and graduate student in fine arts, said. Without the money, we could not have gone. Partial proceeds from the pottery sales went directly to the Potters ' Guild club while other revenue was donated to the creators for purchasing supplies. PauKune said on a day when 100 percent of the proceeds went towards the Potters ' Guild, the club made between $200 and $500, totaling about $ 1 ,000 per year. When we started, we didn ' t make as much money as we wanted. We tried to develop ways to increase our sales so the students don ' t have to pay as much for the conventions, PauKune said. Some of our ideas come from other universities and what they are trying to do to promote their schools. The annual conference allowed members to learn ceramic trends, view demonstrations, attend workshops and exhibits and meet professional ceramists. It really gives the person who goes to the conference a lot of exposure to the ceramics world, Elisa Stalker Coats, fund raising chairman and graduate in fine arts, said. Members who attended the national conference set up a booth to educate other ceramists about K-State ' s program.

Inviting alumni to sing with the Glee Club during the Big 8 fight song medley had become a club tradition. I like singing with the alumni and I like seeing the actions that they did back in their day, Chris Collins, sophomore in arts and sciences, said. The Nov. 3 concert in All Faiths Chapel also included performances by the Women ' s Glee Club and the K-State Singers. It ' s a good opportunity for families to come and hear their students, Jerry Polich, Men ' s Glee Club director, said. In addition to the Homecoming concert, the club traveled to the Wildcats ' football game at Nebraska Oct. 21, where they performed with the NU Men ' s Glee 1 52 -Men ' s Glee Club- ROAD Music non-muswjncijurs unue I by toyna alloway Club and sang the National Anthem at the football game. The club usually traveled to an away Big 8 football game once a year. Polich said the future held a slight change for the Men ' s Glee Club. Although students had enjoyed a medley ofBig 8 fight songs, members would have to start learning the Big 12 fight song medley. The membership varied from semester to semester, but the club usually had about 60 members, mostly non- music majors, Polich said. Although singing did not directly relate to his major, Lance Rosenow, senior in elementary education, said it helped relieve stress and allowed him to experiment with music. I was in orchestra from fourth grade to when I graduated from high school, he said. I wanted to see what I could get out of my voice. Before the Oct. 2 1 football game in Lincoln, Neb., Travis Olson, sophomore in business admin- istration, and Jamie Bush, se- nior in journal- ism and mass communication, sing the National Anthem. The club tried to travel to one Big 8 football road game each year to sing.

The vigil preceeded a Me- morial Walk from Waters Hall to All Faiths Chapel during Martin Luther King Observance Week. (Photo by Steve Hebert) vejuagi -by sarah garner- m, irtin Luther King Observance Week promoted King ' s legacy and dream for equality, in spite of a one- week delay. After an extended winter vacation, Alpha Phi Alpha fraternity kicked off the week with a candlelight vigil that followed a Memorial Walk from Waters Hall to All Faiths Chapel Jan. 22. Omar Davis, junior in psychology, said the fraternity honored King because of his involvement in the frater- nity and his timeless message. During the ' 60s, there was a lot of injustice going on in the United States and King thought the only solution was equality, Davis said. A lot of our generation forgets what our parents went through to achieve King ' s dream. Bernard Franklin, assistant dean of student life, spoke at the vigil about King and his ability to face conflict. He urged African- American students to use conflict as a tool for progress rather than a reason to give up. Black students, if they graduate, have learned how to survive in a largely white environment, Franklin said. College is more of a learning experience for black students than for white students. Franklin said he admired King because he was not afraid to try to change the world. King had a great deal of courage, he said. He got out of his comfort zone. Students now lack the courage to challenge others and their beliefs and say, ' I don ' t want to be friends with you if you ' re going to say things like that, ' or to say that they don ' t want to be friends with just people of their own race. Janet Smith, junior in modern languages, said the observance was beneficial for the University. (King) paved the road to keep us from struggling, she said. We needed something to overcome the prejudice on this campus. During the week, the residence halls focused on educating students about diversity, acceptance and self examination.

(Photo by Jill Jarsulic) judge (continued from page 155) Judge or Be Judged was a program in Derby Dining Center Jan. 24 sponsored by the Department of Housing and Dining Services. Student leaders acted out controversial roles, includ- ing a resident assistant who sold drugs and a woman who refused to date people who weren ' t of her race. About 28 students attended the event and were encouraged to ask questions and think about how the actors handled the situations. (The program) is a really good way to get people talking and to relax, Shannon Cox, sophomore in pre- veterinary medicine, said. They don ' t worry about what they ' re going to say first. It comes from the gut because it goes so fast. She said the program helped students see things in a different light. It showed that these people could be anybody and that you can ' t tell by just looking at them, Cox said. For example, when the first guy came in, the audience Listening to a ques- tion during Judge or Be Judged Paul Colwell, senior in sec- ondary education portrays a young man who contracted the HIV virus through unprotected sex. The Jan. 24 program was in Derby Dining Cen- ter. (Photo by Jill Jarsulic) saw a big handsome guy, but he started acting like a butthole. The second guy was little and innocent- looking and they found out he ' s a drug dealer. The College of Education sponsored a Jan. 25 seminar, Education and Non-Violence: Questions Children Ask. Education students questioned and listened to a panel of elementary, middle and high school students talk about King ' s anti-violence opinions. The week ended Jan. 26 with an All-University Convocation Lecture, When the Silent Should Speak, by Patricia Russell-McCloud, renowned orator and president of Russell-McCloud and Associates. Because of the growing cultural diversity on cam- puses nationwide, college had become an opportunity for cultural growth, Davis said. A lot of people who come here haven ' t really been exposed to other cultures, he said. We need to use the growing diversity here as a chance to learn more about other people ' s cultures and accept them. -Martin Luther King jr.- I J Circlc-K members Katie Stanberry, freshman in pre-health professions, and Todd Nicewonger, sophomore in animal science, paint the carport of Gibbons ' house.

Members of the community service organization met Oct. 8 at the house of Ingeborg Gibbons, Manhattan resident, to paint her carport and fence, chores Gibbons couldn ' t do herself. I ' m always really pleased to be helping people out and to be doing something worthwhile, Ara Schlaman, club president and sophomore in biology, said. I like to go out and meet people in the community and I ' ve met a lot of interesting people this way. The 20-member organization became involved with the project through Michele Lynch, executive director of the HOME program. HOME was a service that organized maintenance and repairs for low-income senior citizens and disabled homeowners, Lynch said. Circle-K participated in other projects through HOME, including cleaning out basements and doing yard work for area residents. Most of our clients are women over 62 living on less than $8,000 a year, she said. So what we try to provide is a low-cost or no-cost repair service where we do things like mow lawns, clean gutters, paint or fix windows. Circle-K ' s goal was to complete at least one community service project each month. Besides helping with the HOME project, members also had fund raisers for their national service project. The biggest diing we work on is raising money for Iodine Deficiency Disorders, Jeff Bond, senior in mathematics, said. There are 1.5 billion people in Circle- K worldwide and we are trying to raise $100,000 for IDD. He said the group had raised $200 locally and more than $50,000 on the national level. Circle-K ' s goal is to raise $100,000 and Kiwanis ' goal is higher than that, he said. Every $50,000 buys one new salt ionization plant, which saves over one million people from IDD. The people who benefited from Circle-K ' s projects were thankful for the group ' s work. I asked the kids if they get college credit for this and they said ' No, ' Gibbons said. I am really glad for the help. You don ' t find many kids like this. -Circle-K- 159 B.A.P.P.

It was a success in that everybody I ' ve talked to enjoyed it and said they ' d come back if we did it again. The event, sponsored by the rodeo club, provided an opportunity for members of the KSU Rodeo Team to gain experience. The club and team came together and worked well, Matthew Badsky, club member and junior in agriculture technology management, said. It was defi- nitely successful for us. The rodeo club chose 40 of the 70 to 80 applicants to participate in first-round events. Only 10 riders could qualify for the final round. The chosen bull riders paid a $100 entry fee. Raymond Wes sel, 1995 Professional Rodeo Cow- boys Association circuit champion and Cedar Point resident, won the final round after receiving 74 points out of 100 in the first round and 86 points in the finals. Several competitors were past rodeo champions, life-long bull riders, and PRCA cowboys. Some of the bulls were ridden in the National Rodeo Competition. The bull riders who came to this event saw a high- class production that went off well, Jimmy White, club rodeo chairman and senior in animal sciences and industry, said. Everybody enjoyed themselves. -Rodeo Club- 1 6 1 BLACK STUDENT UNION Front Row: Rhonda Lee, Christina Daniels, Shannon Cox, Stacy Yeager, Natalie Purnell.

The FONE Center averaged five calls a night and provided coun- seling for nearly 1,500 students a year. (Photo by Scott Ladd) At a desk in the FONE Center of- fice, a volunteer examines poten- tial volunteers ' applications. Ap- plicants had to go through a screening process that included training and seminars at the center. (Photo by Scott Ladd) pee rpo bj the royal purple staff hile the FONE Crisis Center was easy to reach on the phone, the organization ' s office became increasingly hard to find. The Center was started by an education major 26 years ago, Lynn Wootton, FONE Center coordinator and senior in psychology, said. It offered two services that consisted of a walk-in service and a phone center. Walking in was difficult because in June, the services moved from the UFM House to Fairchild Hall. Another move to Edwards Hall, would give the center a perma- nent home in the spring. We have been displaced for the last year because the location in Edwards was not ready for us to move in, Wootten said. Education majors compiled a questionnaire about who students turned to with their problems. Peers were the top choice, Wootten said. That ' s who we have working here. The center offered guidance and limited counseling for nearly 1,500 students a year. Carolyn McClaskey, FONE Center adviser, said callers benefited from talking to the center ' s volunteers. We are just a foundation, she said. We don ' t tell patients what to do. We let them try to figure out what to do for themselves. The center ' s 30 volunteers provided callers advice ranging from what medication was safe with alcohol to suicide counseling. The volunteers get experience for a psychology or social work career, McClaskey said. (They also ben- efit) from their self fulfillment of helping someone. Before a volunteer could answer the center ' s phones, they had to pass an interview screening process and attend 12 hours of training. This included listening to guest speakers, role playing and having group discussions, Jake Arnett, FONE Cen- ter co-coordinator and junior in psychology, said. We ask for volunteers to have some experience dealing with delicate decisions, Wootton said. Obvi- ously you have to have some maturity, but we also look for how effectively people can be non-biased. Our organization has no political stand, and that allows us not to have any level of problem adapting to whatever situation is presented. Although the FONE Center screened applicants, it seldom turned away volunteers. We don ' t honestly tell anyone that they can ' t attend training, Wootton said. At some point in time, if they aren ' t up to the phone portion of the position, then we offer other organizations that can keep them active. It ' s OK for them to say that they don ' t think they can handle it. We understand. When calls took tolls on the volunteers, the center helped them deal with the aftermath. Mostly, we cope just by talking to one another, Arnett said. We have levels for them to go through ending with psychologists. If for some reason they have more problems, we can refer them to our advisory board. The volunteers were reminded that some matters were out of their control. We always tell (the volunteers) that they are never responsible for what a person does on the other end, Wootton said. We tell them to let the organization take over, and that they are separate from that. -FONE Crisis Center- 1 63 BLOCK BRIDAL Front Row: Rachelle Manville, Jerry Hickey, Darin Magette, Jason Taylor, Matt Thielen.

(Photo by Darren Whitley) Collier and Lana Harris, one of three captains and junior in journalism and mass communication, get pumped up for the halftime show.

(Photo by Darren Whitley) Smiling for the audience, Collier performs a rou- tine she learned the week of the basketball game. Collier traveled to Tempe, Ariz., Jan. 28 to per- form in the pre- game show of Super Bowl XXX. She was one of 400 dancers to perform in the show and was chosen by Ameri- can Allstar, a dance company Collier taught camps for each summer. Collier planned to con- tinue dancing af- ter college and open her own dance studio. (Photo by Darren Whitley) erforming in front of a packed stadium caused ghtmares for some, but a two-year Classy Cat veteran took it all in stride. Jennifer Collier, sophomore in arts and sciences, performed in the pre-game show of Super Bowl XXX Jan. 28 in Tempe, Ariz. Most performers in the show were chosen by Ameri- can Allstar, a dance company Collier taught camps for every summer. Of the estimated 400 performers, 250 were local Tempe dancers who auditioned for positions in the American Allstar performance. The president of our company, Lesslee Fittsmorris, choreographed the show, Collier said. This is her 1 1 th Super Bowl. Collier, a Topeka native, was used to performing for large crowds. I performed in the Macy ' s Parade and went to the Holiday Bowl, Collier said. I wasn ' t nervous. I was just so excited. By attending bowl events before the game, perform- ers were able to meet some of the players. I met Emmitt Smith and I didn ' t even know who he was, Collier said. We had gone to the Commissioner ' s Party that Friday night and you could just look at them and tell they ' re football players, but you don ' t know who they are because you can ' t recognize them out of uniform. Collier said her experience with the Classy Cats helped her prepare for the workouts before the Super Bowl. I worked out the Tuesday before from 4 to 10, Collier said. Actually Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, and then Friday we had a dress rehearsal from 9 a.m. to 6 p.m. in the stadium and then the performance on Sunday. Collier, a leader on the Classy Cats squad, set an example for others on the dance team, Barb Leiker, Classy Cats coordinator, said. She ' s helped out a lot and choreographed some halftime shows for football, Leiker said. She ' s just been a good kid and a good example. Classy Cats were part of the band and they enter- tained at halftime of many sporting events. They (Classy Cats) mean a lot to the band and they ' re good at what they do, Frank Tracz, director of bands, said. They ' re a part of the overall picture of K-State, and Jennifer is a good representation of the Classy Cats. Collier said she planned to continue her dance career after college. I would like to study at some other places for a while and then come back and open up my own studio, Collier said. That ' s what I ' d really like to do. -Classy Cats- 165 BUSINESS AMBASSADORS Front Row: Jt-fFDeardorff, Lyndsay Spire, Gale Shank, Angie Lackey, Kimberly Essig.

SCA originated in 1966 when Science Fiction and Fantasy members in Berkeley, Calif., gathered to discuss the idea of a medieval recreation and re-enactment group, Pat McGregor, coordinator of SCA ' s web page, said. In the Manhattan area, there are at least 150 members, Holly Mayland, graduate student in ento- mology, said. Almost 75 of those are K-State students. The society ' s local shire, or district, Spinning Winds in the kingdom of Calontir, had been around for almost 1 1 years, Mayland said. Spinning Winds sponsored a demonstration Feb. 21 in the K-State Student Union. Members put on a live demonstration to inform students about SCA ' s activities and explain how to become involved. I was exposed to (SCA) at a very young age, Golden said. When I came to college, it became very accessible. I found out about it through the Activities Carnival. Every year, SCA participated in the Little Apple Folklife Festival, building a medieval campground and putting on demonstrations. The group participated in several other events throughout the year. Every weekend, somewhere in this four-state area, there is an event, Mayland said. At these events there are merchants, fighting tournaments, arts and sciences, court, and feast. There are also children ' s activities. Events lasted anywhere from one day to a week and they benefited all members involved, Golden said. If you ' re fun-loving and not afraid of a little work now and again, if you love to be outdoors in the summer and enjoy nature, if you enjoy history and think you would like to experience it more on a first-hand basis, then you should give the SCA a try, Hawley said. We are always ready to welcome in new time travelers. -Society for Creative Anachronisms- 169 Warming his hands next to the fire, Barry Schwenk, sec- ond-year stu- dent in veteri- nary medicine, prepares to sing Dec.

The Christian Veterinary Fellowship group is im- portant to the success of our veterinary careers and our walk with Christ, Julie Buzby, third-year student in veterinary medicine, said. It means so much to me to be involved in a group where we have prayer, social events and fellowship. The non-denominational group ' s 25 members made time in their hectic schedules for weekly meetings in the K-State Student Union. We started out meeting once a week to study the Bible and then we all got to know each other and started hanging out. I would say we bonded as Christians and veterinarians, Buzby said. We expand in our Christian knowledge through prayer, worship and speakers. CVF guest speakers gave members opportunities to learn from fellow believers, while weekly Bible studies and social activities provided for spiritual growth. We had various speakers speak on being veterinary missionaries, the ethics of vets and Christianity and the stresses of veterinary school, Barry Schwenk, second- year student in veterinary medicine said. Members shared their faith during Christmas season caroling at professor ' s houses and the Sunset Zoo on Dec. 1. For the fall scavenger hunt, members divided into teams and participated in different activities around Manhattan. We measured the statue ' s foot in the park, walked through Burger King ' s drive-thru and sang at professors ' houses, David Byerly, second-year student in veteri- nary medicine, said.

Christian Veterinary Fellowship 17 I ELLS Oft ' u Cr. iri r) by kristin hermes he Rhapsody Ringers ' performance in Leavenworth became a homecoming concert for three of its members. During the fall semester, the 12 bell choir members and their director took a road trip Nov. 1 9 to play at the United Methodist Church in Leavenworth. Three of our ringers grew up in that church, director Judy Scharmann said. We went for the day, rang in church, had a potluck dinner and then had a concert that night. Linda Nyhart, junior in psychology, had been a Leavenworth resident and church member. I played in the youth bell choir at the Leavenworth church, so it was really neat like a homecoming concert, she said. With all the people who came, it gave me a real sense of hometown pride. When the group was not traveling, they rehearsed weekly at the First United Methodist Church in Manhattan, played in church monthly, gave concerts and played for area parties and meetings, Scharmann said. The reason for the trip came about earlier in the semester. The church has had a big turnover of member- ship since the Fort is so close by, Nyhart said. So they originally wanted us to come as a fall welcome- back concert to welcome the new and returning members. Evan Leonard, eight-year club member and univer- sity payroll manager, said the trip was rewarding in several ways. It was wonderful to share our music with the other church, which was especially rewarding, he said. But the best part of the trip was that we all took cars, which meant we had 2-1 2 hours to visit and get to know each other better because really, there ' s not a lot of time to visit during rehearsal. The audience listens attentively to the sounds of the Rhapsody Ringers bell choir. In addition to the Rhap- sody Ringers ' performance in All Faiths Chapel Dec. 3, the K-State Singers, the Men ' s Glee Club and Women ' s Glee Club also performed. During the fall semester the bell choir consisted of 12 members, both men and women. The Rhapsody Ringers rehearsed weekly at the First Methodist Church in Manhattan for their monthly performances.

It was wonderful to share our music with the other church, which was espe- cially rewarding, Linda Nyhart, junior in psychology, said. The choir rang at church in the morn- ing, had a potluck dinner in the evening and had a concert that night.

The week before Halloween and the football game against Kansas, the club ' s 25 members sponsored a pumpkin sale Oct. 23-28. We offered to paint Powercats on the sides of the pumpkins, Jennifer Stippich, club publicity chair and sophomore in horticulture, said. Students and faculty showed their school spirit (by purchasing the pumpkins) . Selling the pumpkins in the freespeech zone and Aggieville during Octoberfest made the fund raiser more successful than in the past. The location helped the sale, James Miller, club treasurer and junior in horticulture, said. We made about $400. The horticulture division, which had grown pump- kins for research, sold 200 to 300 of them to the club at a reasonable price, Eric Moore, club president and senior in horticulture, said. We loaded up the pumpkins from the field, Moore said. At the end of the sale about 1 pumpkins were left, so we gave them to the faculty. The pumpkin sale was only one money-making project the club sponsored. In April, members sold bedding plants, which was their largest project of the year. We made about $2,500, but it takes a lot of money for the next year, Miller said. We keep a big balance in our account to purchase the soil, pots and most expensive of all the seeds. The successful year was due to the members ' involve- ment in the anniversary and the fundraising, Moore said. It ' s been a challenge this year, he said. The club has been around for 75 years and I would like to think I contributed by getting people involved and making it fun for everyone this year. -Horticulture Club- 1 75 II President Jon Wefald; Aaron Otto, junior in political science; Cori Cornelison, junior in journalism and mass communications; and Kim Hefling, junior in journalism and mass communications, browse through past editions of the Kansas State Col- legian.

(Photo by Darren Whitley) CENTENNIAL Tttegfan celevranS cenhhy ofservice by todd stover -he first edition of The Students ' Herald, published Jan. 8, 1896, became a turning point in school history, a time when students implemented their freedom of speech rights granted them more than 100 years earlier. About 14,500 editions and two name changes later, the Kansas State Collegian celebrated a century of being nationally known as one of the best college dailies in th e country. Hugh Zey, senior in chemical engineering, said the Collegian was deeply rooted in school history. I read the Collegian everyday, Zey said. I think it is the main source of information to students regarding local, national and international news. The centennial celebration lasted throughout the spring semester. The first event was Jan. 8 with a Business After Hours social for the Manhattan Chamber of Commerce. With 150 people attending the event in the K-State Student Union, the Collegian thanked their advertisers and the community. It was great to personally thank all of those who advertise with the Collegian, Ron Johnson, director of Student Publications, said. If it were not for the advertisers, the Collegian would not exist. A Jan. 26 on-campus celebration in the K-State Student Union included speeches from President Jon Wefald and Student Body President Jeff Peterson. It was great to talk to all the Collegian staffs from the past and talk about how the University has and has not changed, Marlett said. Another celebration was planned for April 1 8-20 at Manhattan Country Club. Aaron Otto, chairman of the Board of Student Publications, said it was great to celebrate 100 years of accomplishments . The Collegian has had a rich history on this campus covering local, state and national news, Otto said. We have built on the past 1 00 years a strong foundation that will continue to grow in the future. -Collegian- 177 Before the trail ride begins, members of the KSU Horseman ' s Association re- ceive instruction from Gerald Spohn, Rock Springs 4-H Center administra- tive assistant, about the characteris- tics of each horse. The Rock Spring ' s horses were all donated or purchased with money from donations. The ma- jority of the horses were Palomino, trained for inexperienced riders. Mem- bers of the organization groomed and saddled their own horses. The organi- zation was open to all students inter- ested in horses. Events made it pos- sible for the group ' s members to be- come more familiar with horses and gain experience with riding.

Club members, along with their friends and family, returned to Rock Springs 4-H Center after a year-long break from trail-riding. The center was located 12 miles south of Junction City on a prairie. You can imagine yourself riding across the Santa Fe Trail, J.D. Weber, senior in animal science, said. The only thing you can ' t imagine is the Indians. About 15 students belonged to the Horseman ' s Association and most attended the event. It (trail ride) was initially for members only, but you pay for a string of horses, which is 20 horses, April Martin, senior in animal sciences and industry, said. There aren ' t 20 members, so we opened it up for members to bring a friend or family member. The Oct. 22 trail ride was funded by the $10 annual membership dues and by fundraising efforts, Weber, trail rides chairman, said. Club fund raisers, including entry fees and ticket revenue from their annual team competitions, paid for the members ' rides. However, non-members had to pay $5 to ride, Martin said. My mom went with me. I was going to take my daughter, but it was really windy that day, she said. It was fine for adults, though. The Horseman ' s Association was not just for expe- rienced riders, Mara Barngrover, club president and senior in animal science, said. The club is open to anyone in the University, Weber said. Basically, it ' s for anyone who ' s interested in horses, or knows they like horses. Our events make it possible for novices to learn about horses. (continued on page 181) -Horseman ' s Association- 1 79 ' ' vi trails (continued from 179) The horses at Rock Springs Ranch were trained for inexperienced riders. The horses are used to having 7-year-olds on their backs, Weber said. They ' re gentle and tractable. They ' ll teach you as much as you teach them. Although the trails were not challenging, they brought members of the horse-riding community together, Martin said. For advanced riders, it ' s child ' s play, Weber said. It feels out people ' s skill levels and gives novices experience in the saddle. The wranglers made deviations and took club mem- bers on trails where they could have more saddle time, Martin said. The group received hands-on experience that would be useful for less-experienced riders, Martin said. We saddled our own horses, and you generally don ' t get to do that. But because we were the Horseman ' s Association and most of us had some sort of experience, we got to saddle them, she said. We groomed them down and did a lot of the things the wranglers usually do. We saved them some time. Members were able to ride less-experienced horses, Martin said. A couple of the horses didn ' t have very much experience on the trail, so they put a couple of us with experience on those horses, she said. Trail-ride participants also toured Rock Springs ' facilities and picnicked, Weber said. After the trail rides, we brought eats with us, they provided a grill, and we generally enjoyed ourselves, he said. The trail rides were good for people who had horses at home, but had no access to them while at school, Martin said. Anyone who ' s ever had a horse knows the kind of contact you crave, she said. Walking into the stable, Jason Pirtle, senior in animal sciences and industry, waits for the trail ride to begin. The members of the Horseman ' s Association met at the Rock Springs 4-H Center Ranch Oct. 22 for the rides.

The nine members of the High School Leadership Planning Team and the Dean of Student Life office co- sponsored the 1 2th annual Vision ' 96 A Kaleidoscope of Leadership in the K-State Student Union Feb. 1 . The conference had speakers who focused on mo- tivating high school students to continue being leaders. The main goal of the conference was to strengthen their leadership skills, Brian Bowen, team chairperson and junior in education, said. They attended four out of the 16 total speakers and all attended the keynote speaker at the end. Julie Grimes, program adviser, said 374 high school juniors and seniors attended the event hoping to build leadership skills and develop them throughout college. Conference sponsors worked together to choose the keynote speaker, Cara Redhair, conference promotions chairperson and freshman in business administration, said. He tied what he said with our theme, she said. He said to open your eyes to opportunities and related it to a kaleidoscope. The keynote speaker, Rick Miller, said a kaleido- scope with its many different colors and shapes was similar to the different areas of a person ' s life. It opened their eyes to different topics like ethics, Bowen said. Also multicultural talks and leadership skills facilitated their journey from high school to college. At the end of the conference, the high school students gave team members feedback on the day ' s events by evaluating each program and speaker. The conference was very successful and went smoothly, Bowen said. It helped to generate new ideas for the next year. -High School Leadership Planning Team- 1 83 GRADUATE FOODSERVICE AND HOSPITALITY MANAGEMENT Front Row: Carol Shanklin.

I tried to share that with the college group, Irelan said. The main thing was to help the chil- dren realize that everything has a cost, including labor.

Teach Peace, the year-long KSNEA theme, fea- tured several speakers and activities, but Snehal Bhakta, KSNEA president and senior in computer engineering, said the Oct. 3 speaker was the most effective. Fran Irelan, third-grade teacher at Lee Elementary School in Manhattan, spoke about ways to incorporate new learning styles in regular units. Irelan related tie- dyed T-shirts to an economic unit. Basically, I was showing them how I took an economic unit and applied it to an activity for my third- grade class, showing them how to combine the two, applying their skills to sell and applying the object, she said. Irelan ' s third-grade class ' 2-1 2-month project re- quired the students to make, sell and deliver tie-dyed T- shirts. Students were responsible for all aspects of the project including marketing, advertising, public rela- tions, bookkeeping and personal checking system. Seventy students and faculty attended the KSNEA event. Bhakta said he could not believe how many comments they received about Irelan ' s presentation. I think the most important thing about creativity is to make it things that the children can relate to, Irelan said, something that will get them just as excited about it as the teacher should be. During her presentation, Irelan had college students tie dye T-shirts, as she had done with her third graders. We were experiencing how to do the concept instead of just listening to someone speak about it in one of our classes, Kristie Kerschen, KSNEA council rep- resentative and junior in elementary education, said. It was a real hands-on experience that she related to real life very well. Teach Peace ' s focus was to create a better educa- tional environment, Bhakta said. It isn ' t going to happen overnight. Each individual has to do their part, he said. The only way it will happen is if one person will contribute. Then it will be a domino effect if everyone believes. -Kansas Student National Educators Association- 1 85 pj bj lynn wuger erforming in front of a large audience became a Ssion some students could not live without. Anytime there is an opportunity to become in- volved in a production, I jump at the chance, Caisha Williams, senior in theater, said. It ' s that passion thing. People talk about having a passion for the theater and I think I ' ve caught the passion bug. Each year, K-State Theatre sponsored five perfor- mances and two dance concerts. Eric Stonestreet, graduate student in sociology, said deciding to audition for Tales of the Lost Formicans, Feb. 15-17 and 21-24, was not an option for him. I ' ve been doing theater for four years and this is my last play, he said. It really wasn ' t a decision. Rather, when auditions come up, I audition because acting is what I want to do. Involvement in student productions was not re- stricted to theater majors. Anyone can audition for any of our plays as long as they are a K-State student, Kate Anderson, director of Tales of the Lost Formicans, said. It doesn ' t matter if they are an engineering major or a theater major and we do try to make the auditions as user-friendly as possible so that non-theater majors feel they can try out. K-State Theatre auditions were at the beginning of each semester, usually during the first two days of classes, Anderson said. We do it for a couple of reasons, she said. One, we feel like we can more actively distribute the roles and we also feel that the students then know, at the very beginning of the semester, what their commitment is for that semester and they can plan accordingly. Committing to a production included practicing three hours a night, six nights a week, and doing additional preparation beyond scheduled rehearsals. As far as practicing by myself, I usually put in an extra four hours a week working on my part, Williams said. Some of the real pushes to practicing are script analysis as well as learning lines and cues. You have to work with the script a lot. After learning and memorizing the script, actors worked on developing their roles.

Dress rehearsals were scheduled Sunday through Wednesday prior to the final perfor- mance. Students in the play practiced with the rest of the cast three hours per night, six days a week. Actors also practiced on their own. This was necessary because actors not only had to memorize their lines, but had to understand their character.

I ' m a different type of actor and I take time getting to know my character. Becoming the character makes the play more interesting. However, getting into character was not always an easy task. I play a 15-year-old in the play, Aaron Crispin, senior in radio television, said. It ' s hard to do that without making my character appear too old or too young. I have trouble with that more than anything. A love for acting was not the only thing that motivated students to audition. One of the main reasons I tried out for this production was because I knew Kate was the direc- tor and I wanted to work with her before I gradu- ated, Williams said. This is my first experience working with Kate as a director and it ' s been a lot of fun. -Student Theatre- 1 07 K-State Police Sgt.

Speaking Oct. 5 during Racial Ethnic Harmony Week, Elders ' pro-choice view on abortion sparked a picket by the Students for the Right to Life organization. Elders was not fit to speak at Racial Ethnic Har- mony Week, Jennifer Talkington, club president and sophomore in speech pathology, said. She is a pro- moter of pro-choice and Planned Parenthood. As students entered McCain Auditorium to hear the speech, about 15 Right to Life picketers held signs of protest outside and handed out pamphlets about Planned Parenthood ' s promotion of abortion and a list of Elders ' controversial views. The protesters really didn ' t have an effect on me, Katrina Stenfors, junior in accounting, said. I was, however, impressed with their peaceful approach. I ' ve seen Fred Phelps ' group and they were more in your face. While rumors had circulated that Phelps would picket the lecture, he failed to show up for the event. After 45 minutes of picketing, K-State Police asked members of Students for the Right to Life to move away from the building to a grassy area on the south side of McCain and stop handing out pamphlets. I think they were expecting a more racial group, Talkington said. They told us the only free-speech area was over by the Union or in front of Anderson, but all of campus is unrestricted to free speech. Richard Herman, University detective, agreed dem- onstrations were not restricted to these areas. These two areas are only suggested as places for such demonstrations, Herman said. All of campus is open to free speech as long as groups do not block public entrances or induce violence. Herman said the decision to ask the students to stop distributing the brochures was a misunderstanding and the students ' actions were later determined to be OK. Talkington said Students for the Right to Life would continue to be seen and heard. If someone doesn ' t agree with something, keeping quiet isn ' t going to accomplish much, she said. You have to speak up to make a difference. -Students for the Right to Life- 191 IEEE Institute for Electricity and Electronics Front Row: Ruth Douglas Miller, Valerie Hamidierks, P.J.

The K-State chapter of the American Institute for Architecture Students hosted the regional convention for their parent organization, the American Institute of Architects. It was designed to bring educators and professionals together and close the gap between them, Kim Murphy, junior in architecture, said. There are a lot of discrep- ancies between what educators and practitioners think are important. Students were allowed to sit in on the three-day conference and discuss how their education could be made more practical for the real world. Before the convention, participants gathered for an ice breaker organized by AIAS members. The partici- pants divided into small groups to collect puzzle pieces by chris dean and see who could put their puzzle together first. We hid the puzzle pieces in different stores along Poyntz and gave people clues to find them, Misty Hinkle, junior in interior architecture, said. Then we went to a bar and put the puzzle together. Murphy said no one on the scavenger hunt knew what the completed puzzle looked like until it was put together to show a domed temple. Members did not just stay in Manhattan. Some trips sponsored by AIAS included Forum, a national AIAS convention in Oregon; Architrek, a trip to St. Louis, Mo., to visit the AIAS chapter at Washington Univer- sity; and a regional convention in Nebraska. I ' ve been to St. Louis several times so it wasn ' t as exciting as the Oregon trip, Grace Wallace, senior in architecture, said about Architrek. It ' s always a lot of fun to get with other students and discuss our projects, though. -MAS- 193 ICF Intervarsity Christian Fellowship Front Row: Kevin Larsen, Jimmy Goheen, Mary Bocox, Carl Ohrenberg.

The covenant discipleship groups are peer groups of four to six students that are student led and meet once a week, usually about an hour, Cindy Meyer, minister for UMC Campus Ministries, said. The groups were set up as a support system for students. Support groups were not new to UMC Campus Ministries. In the beginnings of the history of the church, members formed support groups to be accountable for each other, Carey Sterrett, group facilitator and sophomore in sociology, said. That ' s what we do when we get together and talk about things that happen diroughout the week. When the six peer groups met at the beginning of the year, each group set forth a covenant, Sterrett said. We, as a group, decide what we want as our convenant, she said. We work on things we may not be good at. Members had to agree before the group covenant was set in stone, Meyer said. After the group agrees on the proposed covenant, they go out and try to do those things during the week, she said. Then they get back together and go through the list of tilings and talk about how they did. Choosing a covenant was based on four areas justice, compassion, worship and devotion. Some of the covenants are often things like going to worship, reading scripture and praying, Meyer said. And then some of them are more along the lines of social justice or mission types of things. There is supposed to be a good balance. Sterrett said her group developed a covenant based on what they saw as the most important aspects of the four areas. In our group, part of our covenant is to go to church every Sunday and provide an offering, stand up for what ' s morally right, and try to acknowledge people on campus, ' ' she said. A lot of our covenant is trying to become better people and getting to know each odier as a group. Involvement in the discipleship groups had increased in the past three years. Last year there were only two or three groups and this year we have five, Keri Stoner, group facilitator and sophomore in nutrition and exercise science, said. The program has been very successful and student participation has significandy increased. -Campus Ministries- 1 95 MENS GLEE CLUB Front Row: Brian Olsen, David Goerzen, Lance Rosenow, Josh Bleeker, JJ.

(Photo by Darren Whitlcy) ' n the fall, the K-State Marching Band, pep band and other ensembles heard rumors of their organizations possibly losing privilege fees. On Feb. 8, those rumors were laid to rest. The band was allocated 1 percent more of the privilege fees, while the football program lost 1 percent. There was a rumor going around that the band might lose their privilege fee, but in actuality, this rumor was a misunderstanding, John Potter, chairman of Student Senate and junior in business administration, said. Frank Tracz, director of bands, said 95 percent of the bands ' budget came from privilege fees. We receive between $75,000 to $79,000 a year from privilege fees, depending on enrollment, Tracz said. The band used this money to pay for instruments, music, uniform replacement, paperwork, secretarial duties and instrument maintenance and repair, he said. I want to be part of a band program that is of national tice- prominence, that is excellent, has lots of kids in it, that serves the University, and without a budget, it can ' t be done, Tracz said. Brent Marsh, head drum major and junior in sociol- ogy, said fee money was crucial to the marching band. Without the money from the flat fee, the marching band will no longer exist, he said. The marching band will decrease in size, making the band smaller than it was in the 1980s. Band membership had increased from 1 25 members two years ago to 272 members this year, Tracz said. There ' s a universal need and usage for the marching band, basketball band and the other ensembles that affect every student here, he said. Our numbers have almost tripled because of the marching band. Student Senate worked on a solution for allocating privilege fees that would affect organizations like the band.

Band- 197 precautions (continued from 197) Some areas of concern that directly affect privilege fee groups are protecting these groups from enrollment decreases, not enough money for equipment, emer- gency situations and no consideration for the marginal cost of additional students, JeffPeterson, student body president and graduate student in animal science, said. Our solution is that fees are tied to the number of credit hours, not students enrolled. With the 1 -percent increase, the marching band would receive 14 percent of the total privilege fee, Tracz sai d. The true irony is that these kids pay the SGA fees to fund the band, pay the credit to be in the band, pay $95 for a secondary uniform to be dressed like the band and they sometimes do up to 20 hours of community service while they are in the band, he said. And they pay to do this. Kristine Hodges, senior in physical science, said although the band had dealt with not having enough money to support the size of the band before, it would have hurt them to be put on a smaller budget. It would greatly disable the band as far as being able to get new instruments, new uniforms, repair instru- ments and to use practice facilities, she said. I enjoy band and I ' m going to do it no matter what, but sometimes it seems unreasonable to have us put so much of our own money in to be able to be in the band.

The student health fee was tabled Feb. 15 because the senators felt uninformed about the fee. Lafene had asked for a $20 per semester increase in the stu- dent health fee. The proposed privi- lege fee increase would be a 3-per- cent decrease in the center ' s overall operating budget. Lafene officials said it was needed to compensate for a $2.4-million reserve, which had been rapidly declining since the student health fee was decreased from $80 to $70 per semester in 1994. Tabling the fee shortened the meeting by two hours, senators said.

(Photo by Darren Whitley) wno et by sarah garner ' ot many students dealt with millions of dollars everyday, but those who did took their responsibilities seriously. Student Governing Association oversaw a privilege fee system of $7.7 million from fall 1995 to summer 1996. Students at K-State have an incredible amount of power, Mark Tomb, privilege fee chairman and junior in economics, said. We have been very lucky that the administration has allowed us to remain in control of our fee structure. In the spring, Student Senate reviewed more than $3.7 million in fees, including the student health fee of $2.5 million and the athletic fee of $600,989. Steve Weatherman, business senator and senior in marketing, said it was sometimes difficult to decide how to vote on legislation involving student money. It ' s really important that students let me know how they feel, but it doesn ' t always happen that way, he said. On issues when the students let me know how they feel, I vote according to that, but when they don ' t, I have to go with how I think they feel. There were sometimes disagreements among sena- tors about how they voted, said Chris Avila, SGA treasurer Allocations committee chair and graduate in counseling and educational psychology. Senators get caught between loyalties, he said. Student senators will vehemently disagree with each other based on these loyalties. Avila said his committee dealt with about $2.3 million each semester and Tomb said his committee worked with approximately $7 million a semester. These committees had eight members, each who voted on legislation that would later go to the Senate floor to be voted on by the entire student governing body. Weatherman said he sometimes felt uncomfortable making decisions about how to spend other students ' money. I think it ' s a huge responsibility, he said. I don ' t always feel comfortable with it, but I do the best I can. -Student Governing Association- 201 KSU ROLIERHOCKEY ClUB Front Row: Kevin Peterson, Amanda Lee, Ryan Andersen.

Orme was one of several members of the table ten- nis club who met on Tuesdays and Thursdays. (Photo by Shane Keyser) At one time in table tennis ' his- tory, the ECM ' s all-purpose room was full of tables. Since club numbers had dwindled, only two tables were set up. (Photo by Shane Keyser) k by km bethea andj.j. kuntz ' oping to compete nationally, Table Tennis Club members took their hobby to the next level. I played against a man from Germany with no arms and one leg, Joshua Bartel, KSU Table Tennis Club president and graduate student in mechanical engineer- ing, said. He was incredible. Bartel, who said he was considered a disabled table- tennis player because he had extreme arthritis in his joints, was on reserve for the paraplegic Olympic team. He is the top player on the table tennis team, David Surowski, faculty adviser and professor of mathematics, said. What makes him unique is that he is disabled. Surowski said the club played an important role in the players ' lives. It is something to do that I look forward to every week, Bartel said. I feel like I put (tennis) before my school work. The club had been active since July 1988, when Surowski and Todd Cochrane, associate professor in mathematics, formed the group. Membership fluctuated between 10 and 15 people, Surowski said. The club is a small but intense group, he said. What I see in the club is a steady growth in the players. Everyone rated a good 300 to 400 points higher than before, including myself. Although team members traveled to competitions together, they participated as individuals. Some mem- bers attended up to 10 tournaments a year. Bartel said he had seen improvements during the five years he had played with the club. I used to be the worst player, Bartel said. Now I am ranked in the top five in the state. Table-tennis ranking was done differently than that of most sports. A person ' s ranking was not determined by the number of games they won, but by how many points they collected by defeating higher- and lower- ranked opponents. You go to a tournament and the other person ' s rating as compared to your own is what you are compet- ing against, Jason Orme, junior in accounting, said. It is what determines the points you can gain or lose. You gain points if you win, and you lose points if you lose. Bartel said only three people in Kansas had more than 2,000 points, a mark that signified a player was one of the nation ' s best. I have 1 ,930 points, so hopefully in the next two to three tournaments I will reach 2,000, Bartel said. My goal is to reach much higher than that. -Table Tennis- 203 Jennifer Ohmes, junior in mass com- munications, is tackled by a member of the opposing team. The rules for women ' s rugby were the same as the rules for men ' s rugby, although the women ' s games were slightly slower- paced, Becky Burton, team coach and graduate student in biology, said.

Al- though they needed 15 play- ers to compete, the team only had 12, so they borrowed players from other schools. Both students and non-students could participate in the sport. The team ended the season with an 8-3-1 record. (Photo by Shane Keyser) rpluy -by Stephanie schmutz and marla sherrill- they needed 15 players to compete in a regulation game, the women ' s rugby team had only 12 on their roster. However, low numbers didn ' t stop them from having a winning 8-3-1 season. The team recruited rugby players from other teams when participating in tournaments. We have good relations with KU and they helped us out at tournaments when we needed it, Jennifer Ohmes, club president andjunior in journalism and mass communications, said. Sometimes they thought they had won the game for us but we knew we did it ourselves. Although the club had trouble filling the required slots, Julie Hix, team vice president and school of veterinary medicine research assistant, said this would not be a problem in the future because of the increase in returning members. I ' ve been an officer since I joined the team, she said. We have a good base for officers. We ' re getting more experience because people are staying longer. Students and non-students could join the team. I first learned about the team here at K-State from a table in the Union, Hix said. I was interested in a team sport and I thought rugby looked good. Potential members were not required to be familiar with rugby before joining the team. We have a lot of women participate from Fort Riley, K-State staff, and members from the commu- nity, Ohmes said. We don ' t require any knowledge of the game, just a love for athletics. Becky Burton, team coach and graduate student in biology, had been involved with the women ' s rugby team since coming to K-State. I love the game, Burton said. I played for five years at the University of Montana and coached and played at Montana State before coming here. (continued on page 206) -Women ' s Rugby- 205 spirit (continued from page 205) Burton had been coaching since receiving her cer- tification from the USA Rugby Football Union. A lot of people don ' t know what women ' s rugby is about, she said. All the rules are the same as men ' s rugby, men ' s is just a little faster-paced. Travel expenses exceeded the team ' s University bud- get, so members had car washes and cleaned Bramlage Coliseum to raise money to help pay expenses. People were good at pitching in and doing their share, Burton said. We want to make it as fun as possible, so we would go out to eat or attend the (football) game together before we worked. The money raised not only allowed the group to travel, but also helped them sponsor their own tourna- ment. We were able to host the first tournament since 1992, Ohmes said. We had eight teams participate from various states. The fall tournament Nov. 4-5 at Tuttle Creek State Park raised money for a future travel and expense fund. Burton said the team made about $ 1 ,000 from the event. The tournament was the highlight of the season for the team, Hix said. We all pulled together and worked hard. We are a close-knit group and we work together both on and off of the field. During a tour- nament Sept. 9 at Tuttle Creek River Pond, Doll tackles a mem- ber of the Kan- sas City team. The members of the women ' s rugby team paid for the trips to various tourna- ments with Uni- versity funds and through fund raisers. The team also hosted their first tournament since 1992, which brought in $1,000. (Photo by Darren Whitley) 206 -Women ' s Rugby- MARIATT HALL GOVERNING BOARD Front Row: Tim Hanzlik, James Hall, C.

The festival is a time for Chinese people to get together with their families and friends, he said. About half of Asian countries celebrate it like we do. The 220-member association, had organized the New Year celebration for the past 1 years. Members had the event one day earlier than the Feb. 19 holiday so festivities could be during a weekend. I think it lets students in this country join in so they could learn some Chinese traditions, Zhang said. It also increased the relations among the Chinese students. About 1,250 students attended the celebration, he said. Wei Xu, club president and graduate student in engineering, said members served about 15 different kinds of Chinese food at the event. We prepared enough food to feed everybody, Zhang said.

In February, Union Activities Board notified Hull the club had been approved. Hull looked for funding for the newly formed club to buy the necessary equip- ment for club members to use during the certi- fication process. The fees for the club ranged from $5 for full-time students to $10 for part-time students. (Photo by Shane Keyser) Checking over his tank and vest, Tom Hull, club president and sophomore in pre-dentistry, makes sure everything is in place before en- tering the Nata- torium diving well.

He also manned a booth during the Activities Carnival in the K-State Union during the fall. (Photo by Shane Keyser) WATER cluu gaim support by j.j. kuntz l oming to the water ' s surface out of breath and curious after following a giant sea turtle, Thomas Hull, Scuba Diving Club president and sophomore in pre-dentistry, hoped to share his fascination of the underwater world with others. I was in the Navy when we pulled into the Virgin Islands. I decided to try snorkeling, Hull said. I got behind this turtle and followed it. I forgot I needed to go up and breathe. When I got up to the surface I was tired, but wished that I could have stayed down longer. So Hull tried scuba diving and decided the sport, a technique allowing divers more time to explore, would be enjoyable and beneficial for other students. I stood before one of Dr. Lon Kilgore ' s classes and asked if there would be any interest, he said. Seeing the hands of about 10 people out of a class of about a 100, I felt there would be a good chance of involvement. Hull displayed club information in the K-State Student Union during the fall Activities Carnival and interested students signed a petition. I know the response was greater than I ex- pected, Hull said. Many people in Kansas can ' t get over the fact that diving isn ' t associated with Kansas. An article featuring the club was published in the Kansas State Collegian during the spring semester and the response was great, A.J. Lana, freshman in milling science, said. I have never had the opportunity to go some- where nice and dive. When I read about the club in the Collegian, I was really gung-ho about it, Deb Quin, printing process supervisor, said.

At the beginning of the spring semester, Hull went to the University Activities Board hoping to become registered and recognized as University- affiliated. In February, UAB notified him the club had been approved. UAB was helpful, but they weren ' t sure if the group fell under the umbrella of a sport or social organization, Hull said. To receive UAB funding, the club needed to be a sporting group. If we got funding elsewhere, we could buy equipment the whole group could use, Lana said. That would help everybody out with expenses. Looking for outside funding, Hull said he spoke with the Aggie Dive Shop owner. The club also asked its new members for assistance. We are asking for dues from all members right now, $5 from full-time students and $10 from part- time students, Hull said. Although experienced divers made up the club, the members hoped to introduce other curious students to the sport. It ' s a fast growing sport and is becoming very popular, Lana said. There are places around here to dive but people just don ' t know about them. One benefit of the club would be the discounts offered through group travel rates. There were many nearby places to dive, such as Missouri, Oklahoma and Arkansas, Lana said. Just because we ' re in Kansas doesn ' t mean scuba divers can ' t find an outlet, he said. We may be able to get special group rates at various travel agencies, and that means that we can go to some real interesting locales. Hull said by establishing a scuba diving club, he hoped to get more students hooked on the sport. It ' s a rush of hanging over a coral reef or going down to explore a wreck. It ' s a different world, he said. It ' s kind of one of those things that becomes an addiction. Underwater at the Natatorium div- ing well, Hull poses for a portrait. Hull started the club with Lon Kilgore, faculty adviser. One benefit of the club would be the discounts offered through group travel rates to nearby places in Missouri, Okla- homa and Arkansas. Although UAB was helpful, they were not sure if the group fell under the umbrella of a sport or social organization. To re- ceive UAB funding, the club needed to be a sporting group. Looking for outside funding, Hull spoke with the Aggie Dive Shop owner and received a 10% discount on diving equip- ment.

Each insect included in the collections was pinned into a styrofoam board and iden- tified by a num- ber on the mas- ter list. The col- lections were then sold to the high schools and usually raised $800 to $900 a year for the club.

Part of the state FFA contest included an entomology identification contest April 27, where I SO to 200 students competed. The high school stu- dents used the collections to help them pre- pare for the identification portion of FFA regional and state contests. (Photo by Shane Keyser) grtui i cou noTTS uTfcnbots tSSi by heather hollingsworth Involvement in the Entomology Club required an interest in the creepy crawlies. It was a sibling rivalry thing for me. When I was about 3 or 4 my aunt took my sister aside and showed her how a June bug was fuzzy underneath, Dean Rider, graduate student in entomology, said. I wanted to know what was going on so she showed me. That was really, really neat something you never notice and there it is, Rider said. Then I started collecting bugs. With more than 15 members, the Entomology Club compiled insect collections to sell to high schools across the state. The high school students used the collections to study for the insect identification por- tion of the Future Farmers of America regional and state contests, Rider said. The collection has economically important in- sects, things that affect your household roaches, termites, ants and there are insects that feed on grain, Bob Miller, graduate student in entomology, said. It ' s important to companies so they don ' t lose money. Because 66 different specimens were represented in a collection, the club members gathered ordinary insects, Rider said. We usually stay with the common stuff, Rider said. If you have to have 60 specimens, and you have to collect them all over the summer, you try to pick things that you know you can collect. The state entomology contest April 27, hosted yearly by K-State, was part of the state FFA contest. The entomology portion of the contest attracted 1 50 to 200 students, Sharon Debesh, graduate student in entomol- ogy, said. It gives them a start so if they decide to study later they have the basics, Miller said. Although undergraduates could join the club, all members were graduate students, Rider said. They collected insects in several ways. During the summer we would go to Fort Riley as a group and collect specimens, Rider said. That turned out fairly well. We got a lot of aquatic insects. Insects were also gathered from captive colonies in the entomology department, and general entomology and taxonomy courses required students to compile extensive collections, Miller said. When other methods failed, the entomology club created a list of insects they needed, Miller said. Because most of us are in entomology we like to collect insects.

The Entomology Club used the in- sect collections as fund raisers and sold them for $30 to high schools. The money raised was used to sponsor guest speakers and picnics. (Photo by Shane Keyser) A member of the Entomology Club identifies and places one of the insects into his collec- tion tray. The club had about 15 members, all of whom were graduate stu- dents. Each member was re- sponsible for col- lecting the bugs and making them part of their collections to sell to high school FFA stu- dents and chap- ters. They had to have 66 different insects from sev- eral different ar- eas in Kansas. (Photo by Shane Keyser) insects (continued from page 215) knows what insects we use for the collections, Rider said. So if you ' re out and you happen to see a couple of specimens that we can use, then catch them and bring them in. After insects were gathered, free food motivated club members to organize their collections. Our incentive t o get people involved is a pizza party, Rider said. We have a pizza party and people show up and pin bugs. The Entomology Club began selling the collections to high schools about 10 years ago. Collections cost about $30 each, and the Entomology Club generated between $800 and $900 a year from the sales, Rider said. The fundraising efforts paid off when the club spon- sored a speaker and a picnic for club members, Rider said. Anyone on campus is welcome to come see the speaker but typically just the entomology students at- tend, Rider said. We try to bring in someone who has a general interest in entomology so that when he comes in and talks to our group no one gets upset because he specializes. -Entomology Club- 2 I RODEO CLUB Front Row: Jered Birkbeck, Steve Frazier, Jeff Gibson, Jimmy White, Karen Moorman, Mara Barngrover, Sherlyn George.

STD, HIV AIDS Peer Educators, or SHAPE, spon- sored a program to educate members of the Black Student Union about diseases caused by unsafe sex. During the Sept. 26 presentation, BSU members participated in activities like the Risky Behavior Game in the K-State Student Union. We each had a different color of postcard that ended up like a chain, and we were all having sex with each other, Ametria Tate, BSU member and sopho- more in sociology, said. Basically the game taught us that if you had sex with one person, you have sex with all the people they have had sex with. More than 60 BSU members attended the event. We learned about diseases that some never think about, Tate said. Most people don ' t research all the facts, and I think it is cool to remind us about all the diseases. SHAPE was established through Lafene Health Center. Reita Currie, student health education repre- sentative, said the program started as a volunteer peer education program. Three years ago, the program became SHAPE, and was offered as a three credit-hour class. The statistics are continually changing, so we have to educate ourselves, Shannon Yust, SHAPE, member and senior in psychology, said. One out of every 250 college students are HIV positive. The group put on programs for fraternities, sororities, University Experience classes and other organizations We gear it towards specific needs, Yust said. The black heterosexual women from rural communities are at the top of the list for being HIV positive. Jawwad Abdulhaqq, BSU president and sophomore in political science, said his organization benefited from the SHAPE presentation. Being African Americans, HIV and AIDS affects us, Abdulhaqq said. Everyone learned something and hopefully took something from it. The games and activities added to SHAPE ' S presen- tations, promoting positive attitudes and reducing fears related to sexual health. You are never too old to be reminded, and you can always learn something new, Tate said. You never know what type of diseases will be out there in two years with everyone fornicating.

The cards helped to demonstrate how easy it is to spread the HIV virus through unprotected sex and IV needles.

The group had diffi- culties finding a place to sell the candy grams. Because Smurthwaite was selling a similar product, Chimes members could not sell candy grams in the residence halls. Instead, they went to the greek houses and took phone orders. The new project only resulted in the sale of about 15 candy grams, which forced the group to plan more profitable fund raisers for the future. (Photo by Scott Ladd) On Feb. 13 members of Chimes prepare candy grams for delivery. The candy grams were sold on Feb 7-9, and were delivered to stu- dents on Valentine ' s Day. The candy grams were sold for $5. Each contained messages and Valentine ' s candy such as Russel Stovers Can- dies, peppermint nuggets and heart-shaped chocolates. Three dol- lars from each sale went to Chimes scholarship funds and new member selection, which required extensive paper work. (Photo by Scott Ladd) bj Jessica white - Vhimes junior honorary got into the Valentine ' s Day spirit by having a candy-gram sale. The candy grams, which contained sweets accompa- nied by a message, could be delivered anywhere in Manhattan on Valentine ' s Day. There is a total of seven heart-shaped candies in a variety of flavors in the package, Justin Kastner, junior in food science, said. They write down a cheesy message for their sweetheart and we will send it to them on Feb. 14. Candy grams cost $5 and $3 from each sale went towards Chimes scholarships and new member selec- tion, which involved a lot of paperwork. Hoping to market the fund raiser to a large number of students, members came up with a strategy. The week before Valentine ' s Day, members visited greek houses, promoting their candy grams. They planned to sell the candy grams Feb. 7, 8 and 9 in Kramer, Van Zile and Derby dining centers, Mariah Tanner, Chimes vice president and junior in human ecology, said. Unfortunately, not everything went as planned. Because of conflicts with other fund raisers, Chimes was not allowed to sell its candy grams in the residence halls. We could not sell in the residence halls because Smurthwaite was selling something similar at the same time, so we could only sell to the greek houses, Tanner said. The group only sold about 15 candy grams, Tanner said. We are going to have to look at another fund raiser, she said. Things look a little bleak right now. Toby Rush, Chimes president and junior in me- chanical engineering, said the group had not sold candy grams before. This is a pioneering idea, he said. We wanted to do something that would be fun for the whole group. Before deciding to do the candy grams, members had considered selling singing telegrams. That ' d be a lot of singing, and we aren ' t that good, Tanner said. Chimes 221 SMA Society of Manufacturing Engineering Front Row: Tara Hannebaum, Suryadi Oemoeng, Mice D.

The 24 members of the Alumni Board visited seven different Kansas high schools during the year, helping juniors and seniors learn what to expect once they reached college. Our goal isn ' t to focus on one aspect, Amanda Evins, board president and senior in nutrition science, said. We do, however, promote group living. For example, we speak about different living conditions greek or residence halls. College Nights began by alumni board members showing the potential students different classes they could take and activities they could become involved in. Later in the evening, the students and their parents divided into two groups. Parents listened and asked questions about financial aid opportunities, while the students were given information about the various colleges on campus. At the beginning, we ' re all in a group together with parents and students, Melissa Hurtig, sophomore in mechanical engineering, said. We break up into life groups to talk about college life and into groups to talk about careers and classes. There are also alumni there to tell them about life after college. Becky Klingler, director of constituent programs for the KSU Alumni Association, said College Nights were educational for potential students and their par- ents. The college nights are very helpful to all students planning to attend K-State or not, she said. The parents get the opportunity to ask financial aid officers questions and the students get a chance to visit with alumni and real live K-State students. They get a chance to have their questions answered. Recruitment was not the main goal of the program. By presenting experiences of students at K-State, future students got a taste of what college at any university would be like. We approach it from a standpoint of presenting K-State in a friendly and comfortable way, Evins said. -Student Alumni Board- 223 STUDENT ALUMNI BOARD Front Row: Jason Ellis, Brian Olsen, Lesley Moss, Lance Davidson.

(Photo by Darren Whitley) purple by trina holmes iscussions ranging from penis enlargements to cam- pus issues compelled students to turn off their televisions and tune into A Purple Affair, the call-in radio talk show on KSDB-FM 91. 9. Richard Allen, promotion director for A Purple Affair and sophomore in theater, said he tried to attract special guests for the show around the holidays. We get our guests locally, as well as from all over, he said. If there ' s a minor holiday coming up, we usually go for a national guest, but if it ' s a major holiday, we try to stay local. The show had changed during the three years it had been on the air, Allen said. It didn ' t start out being four days a week, he said. Now it runs Monday through Thursday, and the topics we have are more interesting. We have live remotes and underwriters. The live-remote segment of the show was a new addition. Heidi Evert, member of the live-remote crew and senior in mass communications, said sometimes it was difficult to find places to do the live remotes. We ' re kind of limited because the show ' s from 10 to 1 1 p.m. and it ' s hard to find places that are open or willing to open, she said. We went to Rad-A-Tat Tattoo once. They ' re not normally open that late, but they stayed open and Maggie (Otvos) got a tattoo over the air. Evert said she and Otvos, senior in theater, rode the bull at Silverado Saloon and sang karaoke at The Flash- back Lounge over the air. She said the live-remote portion of the show was well received. For a week during (fall semester) finals, we didn ' t do the live remote, Evert said. A guy called in and wanted to make sure that we were going to do the live remote again the next semester. He said that we were the only reason he listened to the show. Jason Dechant, show co-host and junior in political science, said A Purple Affair had improved through- out the year. It ' s developed a lot since the beginning of the school year, he said. People have started to work better together. We ' ve gotten more consistent. Dechant said he hoped the show would receive a different time slot in the future. Next year, I want to get a new time for the show, 5 to 6 p.m., and take it to five days a week, he said.

The show aired five nights a week from 10 to II p.m. Although the show hoped to change its time slot because of small audiences, it still managed to draw notable guests such as Fred Phelps, Topeka resident. The hosts wanted to move the show ' s time slot to 5 to 6 p.m. because more businesses were open for their live remote and more people would be able to listen.

Regardless of A Purple Affair ' s time slot, Allen said the station ' s number of listeners had steadily in- creased. We are getting more listeners than we ' ve ever had, he said. We ' ve always had a steady listenership, but it ' s really been increasing lately. Dechant said he and the show ' s other host, Aaron Decker, senior in radio television, wrote their own questions and researched and discussed possible topics for the show. Aaron Decker and I have developed a chemistry throughout the year, Dechant said. We have a strong ability to work off and feed off each other in terms of creativity and the questions we ask. Looking to continue improving the student-run show, Allen said he had taken promotion by the horns. As long as I ' m around, I hope to keep making it 10 times better, he said. We get a lot of positive reactions to the show. We have a steady listenership and good hosts who deserve a lot of praise. -KSDB-FM- 227 VSA Vietnamese Student Association Front Row: Tuy Vo, Phuong Vu, Chi Nguyen, Kathy Bui, Hang Nguyen, Nga Vo.

Students dedicated rime collecting food and putting together the house displayed in Manhattan Town Center. The project was mainly done by our group from the architectural engineering department, Shawn Slyter, freshman in architectural engineering, said. Slyter said he was glad to help increase awareness of homelessness in the area. We take all of our collections to the Breadbasket and then they disperse them as they see fit, Kems said.

The Big 8 had been home to 1 1 4 national champions, 20 Orange Bowl winners and five Rhodes Scholar football student athletes. Teams and fans felt the thrill of victory and the hollowness of defeat. Through the years, some conference teams rose to the top, others fell to the bottom and some did a little of both. Traditions were started and while some of these would end with the arrival of the Big 12 Conference, others would continue for years to come. The following special section takes a look back at the 50 years leading to the formation of the Big 8 Conference and its 39 years of heartbreak and celebration. The people, places and events that shaped the years would forever be remembered by the athletes , fans and coaches who lived through the era. 232 -Big 8 Conference- Timeline 1907 January 12 a momentous day in the history of college sports. That day, at the Midland Hotel in Kansas City. Mo., representatives from the University of Kansas, the University of Missouri, the University ot Nebraska, the University of Iowa and Washington University of St. Louis formed the Missouri Valley Intercollegiate Athletic Conference, which preceeded the Big 8 Conference. League membership expanded to seven with the additon of Ames College (now Iowa State University) and Drake The Missouri Valley Intercolle- giate Athletic Conference began play in 1907, with K-State joining the league in 1913. The larger public schools, nicknamed the Big 6, reformed the conference without the smaller schools in 1928, adding Colorado in 1947. Oklahoma State became the final piece of the Big 8 in 1957. (Photo by Steve Hebert) University (Iowa) a mere two months later, though they would not participate until the 1908 season. Iowa, which had held dual membership in the Big 10, left the MVIAA in 1911. Kansas College of Applied Science and Agriculture, now Kansas State University, joined the league in 1913. Although the Wildcats had competed in football since the 1890s (1908 team above) and men ' s basket- ball since 1902, it lacked any conference affiliation until joining the Missouri Valley. The addition of Grinnell College (Iowa) in 1919, the University of Oklahoma in 1920 and Oklahoma A M College (now Oklahoma State University) in 1925 brought league membership to an all- time high of 10 schools. Ironically, Oklahoma A M left the Southwest Confer- ence, dominated by Texas schools, to join the Missouri Valley. 1928 I he transformation from the Missouri Valley to the Big 8 began on May 19, 1928, when representatives from six of the seven public schools (Okla- homa State was omitted) chose to create their own conference. Kansas, K-State, Nebraska, Missouri, Oklahoma and Iowa State recreated the Missouri Valley Intercollegiate Athletic Association and were most often refered to by the public and the media by their unofficial name, the Big 6. Once again, Oklahoma State provided a piece of irony for the conference history books the only public school snubbed by the Big 6, OSU had just won the first of 1 14 NCAA national team championships conference teams would win through 1995. Oklahoms State ' s 1928 wrestling tide was the first of four straight championships. The Cowboys would win 20 national championships in wresding, men ' s basketball and cross country before rejoining the conference in 1957. One facet of modern college athletics unseen in die early days was women ' s sports. While many schools had female athletes competing in various sports (K-State women ' s basketball 1910 above left) they were not recognized as varsity sports until much later. 00 o ON -Big 8 Conference- 233 vG CONFER SINCE 1957 CONFERENCE MAKES MEMORIES WE WILL NEVER FORGET BY DAN LEWERENZ The Big 8 Conference had been around in one form or another for 89 years. It had won more NCAA championships than all but two other conferences in the nation, including the first-ever sweep of football and women ' s volleyball national championships in 1995. But this year marked the end of the confrence ' s era and member schools planned to join the University of Texas, Texas A M, Texas Tech and Baylor to form the Big 12 Conference. While many see this as a step forward, it ' s still a very sad day, Nebraska football coach Tom Osborne said. This conference has gone for almost 40 years without a change, and not a lot of conferences could say that. His Cornhuskers helped usher the conference out in style, winning back-to-back national football champion- ships in 1995 and 1996. Long known as a football conference because of the domination of Nebraska and Oklahoma, Big 8 institutions combined for more than 100 NCAA championship titles in football, cross country, men ' s basketball, gymnastics, indoor and outdoor track, wrestling, baseball, golf and snow skiing. Two Big 8 schools, K-State and Kansas, were among the pioneers of women ' s basketball, elevating the sport to varsity status in 1968, four years before Title IX would require universities nationwide to add women ' s sports. In 1979, the Big 8 became the first major sports governing body to officially recognize women ' s sports the NCAA followed suit three years later. This is a great conference, said Missouri women ' s basketball coach Joann Rutherford, one of two Big 8 women ' s coaches with more than 400 wins. The Big 8 has consis- tently played some of the best basketball in the country. As the Big 8 came to a close, former K-State men ' s basketball coach Jack Hartman reflected on the conference and its passing. It ' s been great, he said. These were some of the best teams and some of the best people I ever knew, but it ' s time to look forward. K-State takes on Nebraska at KSU Stad- ium in 1971. Nebraska, coached by Bob Devaney, went on to claim their second nat- ional champ- ionship in a row. Devaney retired after that season, leaving the team to assistant Tom Osbome. (Photo from University Archives) CN o 1930s L he conference was not without its share of successes in the 1930s. Iowa State shared the NCAA wrestling champi- onship with Oklahoma State in 1933, the first title for the league. Oklahoma followed suit with back-to-back wrestling titles in 1936 and 1937. 1947 Vv hile no conference school won an NCAA championship in this decade, the Big 6 made its first move toward expansion since the days of the old Missouri Valley Conference. Colorado joined the league, now the Big 7 Conference. 1950s It wasn ' t until the 1950s that the Big 7 really came into its own as a conference and it was the University of Oklahoma that brought the conference to the big leagues. The Sooners won their first national football crown in 1950, and plenty more would come. K-State basketball ushered in the new era in 1950 with the completion of Ahearn Field House (above right). The Wildcats inaugurated the building with a 66-56 win over Utah State in the fourth game of the 1950-51 season. Legend- ary Indiana coach Bobby Knight later said of Ahearn, This has to be the greatest basketball crowd in Amerca. Kansas Joined the national championship club in 1952 Timeline with its first NCAA basketball tide, following it up in 1953 with a cross country champi- onship. Missouri added its name to the list in 1954 with a baseball crown. But it was the Oklahoma Sooners that put the Big 7 on the map in the 1950s. OU ' s back-to-back wrestling titles in 1951 and ' 52 and 1951 baseball crown were just the beginning. Coach Bud Wilkinson led the Sooner football team to 47 consecutive wins from 1953- 57, anational record. During that span, Oklahoma won national championships in 1955 and 1956. 234 -Big 8 Conference- .-n D i 1957 J he Big 6 Conference must have regretted leaving Oklahoma State out during its early years. The Cowboys collected 20 national champi- onship in cross country, basketball and wrestling before rejoining the league in 1957. This gave the Big 8 league membership continuity for the next 39 years. The Cowboys promptly earned their keep, winning the NCAA wrestling title in 1958. 1959 CAlahoma State followed up its 1958 wrestling tide by winning another in ' 59 adding a baseball crown for the trophy case. Kansas won its first of two-straight outdoor track tides in ' 59, while Colorado earned its first tide, snow skiing, the same year. 1960s While the high-profile sports of football and basketball floundered in the ' 60s, the Big 8 continued to win tides in other sports. The conference continued its winning ways in 1960, with Kansas and Colorado repeating championships in outdoor track and skiing and Oklahoma winning its sixth national wrestling crown. If any league ever dominated a single sport, it was the Big 8 in wrestling in the 1960s. Oklahoma State, Oklahoma and Iowa State each claimed at least two tides during the decade, and 1967 was the only year none of the diree claimed the crown. Not dial wrestling was the only sport in which Big 8 institu- tions excelled. Oklahoma State won the first of its eight NCAA golf tides in 1963, starting one of die most powerful and longest-lasting dynasties in college sports. Yhree of the league ' s four indoor track championships came during the 1960s, with Missouri claiming the tide in 1965 and Kansas taking two, in 1966 and 1969. Change was in the air as the decade drew to a close. In 1968, K-State and Kansas became the first Big 8 schools to elevate women ' s basketball to varsity status, while the rest of the conference followed suit several years later. However, Cat fans were more interested in the construction of a new football stadium (above left). KSU Stadium replaced Memorial Stadium as the home of Wildcat football. 1969 -Big 8 Conference- 235 vO ft SINCE 1957 FOOTBALL ENDS WITH A BIG BIG BANG BY DAN LEWERENZ Ending its 87th season, Big 8 Conference football went out in a blaze of glory. Four teams Nebraska, Colorado, K-State and Kansas finished in the top 10 of the Associated Press poll, an unprecedented achievement. In fact, no other conference had ever had four teams with at least 10 victories. I just think this goes to show the Big 8 is the premier conference in America, and the Big 1 2 is going to be even better, President Jon Wefald said. All four teams finished with impressive bowl victories. Nebraska steamrolled through the regular season and a 62-24 win over Florida in the Fiesta Bowl. I was really surprised how it went, Coach Tom Osborne said. I expected it to be a close game and go down to the wire. We just got momentum, got a few breaks and things just kind of snowballed. The Cornhuskers (12-0) were undefeated for the second straight season and finished 7-0 in the Big Eight for the third season in a row. While Osborne had been in Lincoln for 23 seasons, Colorado coach Rick Neuheisel began his first year as the Buffaloes ' coach. The Buffs (10-2) finished the regular season with a late touchdown pass from John Hessler to James Kidd to beat K- State and win a berth to the Cotton Bowl, where they stomped Oregon 38-6, finishing with a No. 8-ranking in the AP poll. The surprise of the conference was Kansas. Picked by many to finish fifth, the Jayhawks (10-2) proved they were for real with an upset victory Oct. 6 at Colorado and a 51- 30 stomping of UCLA in the Aloha Bowl. The Hawks finished the season with a No. 10 ranking in the AP poll. K-State had its first 10-win season since 1910 and a win over Colorado State in the Holiday Bowl. This is the way it is supposed to be, senior linebacker Percell Gaskins said. When you look at who ' s coming back, I expect these guys to do even more next year than we did. In spite of debate about the tradition of tearing down goal posts, Dan Eshleman, sophomore in business administra- tion, celebrated the Cats ' 4 1 -7 victory over Kansas. Eshleman was part of a crowd that rushed the field.

The conference had another big year in 1970, with Kansas claiming both indoor and outdoor track championships and Iowa State taking the first of four NCAA wrestling titles. 1971 j erhaps the finest finish any conference has had in any sport was the Big 8 ' s 1971 football season. Devaney ' s Cornhuskers won their second-straight national championship, while Oklahoma finished No. 2 and Colorado No. 3 in the post- season polls. The Sooners ' lone loss was to Nebraska, while Colorado fell to the Huskers and Sooners for their only setbacks of the season. Big 8 wrestling continued to roll in ' 71 with Oklahoma State claiming the tide. Iowa State earned the conference ' s first NCAA gymnastics crown. 1972 Four years after Kansas and K-State pioneered women ' s basketball in the Big 8, Congress passed the Higher Education Act of 1972, including Title IX and its requirement for gender equity in all aspects of education. This meant the gradual addition of women ' s sports at every school, with most of the league playing women ' s basketball by 1974 and Timeline volleyball by 1976. Only Colorado waited until the 1980s. K-State began playing volleyball (left) in 1974. Women ' s indoor and outdoor track, cross country and Softball were also added. Football again surged to the forefront in 1974 with Oklahoma leading the charge. The Sooners would win back- to-back championships in ' 74 and ' 75. The Big 8 continued to dominate the wrestling world, with Oklahoma claiming the league ' s seventh- straight crown in ' 74. 1975 236 -Big 8 Conference- 1976 Dy 1976, women ' s sports were firmly established among Big 8 institutions, but the conference still refused to officially sanction the sports. Unofficial regular season and tournament volleyball and women ' s basketball champion- ships were held by member schools until the Big 8 granted official recognition in 1979. Nebraska dominated the league in volleyball, winning the unofficial and official championships from 1976-86, while K-State (right) won the first two unofficial women ' s basketball tides in 1976 and ' 77. 1979 1 he Big 8 proved its status as a leader in the world of college athletics on May 24, 1979, when the league became the first major sports governing body to officially recognize women ' s athletics, holding official conference championships for the first time in 1980. The NCAA would not recognize women ' s sports until 1982, but that did not prevent Big 8 schools from competing in national basketball championships hosted by the Association of Intercollegiate Athletics for Women. K-State, the premier Big 8 program in the ' 70s, placed fifth in 1973 and sixth in ' 75, playing host to the national tournament in ' 74. The Big 8 continued to thrive in other areas as well. Colorado in 1979 saw the last of its amazing eight-straight national skiing titles dating back to 1972. Nebraska joined Iowa State and Oklahoma as the third league school with an NCAA gymnastics crown, a distinction the Huskers would reclaim the next four years. But the Big 8 ' s dominance of the wrestling world came to an end with Iowa State ' s championship in 1977 no conference school would win again until 1987. And Oklahoma State ' s reign over the golf world, including tides in 1976 and ' 78, fell short in ' 79 before the Cowboys regained the crown in 1980. Photo by L ' nivtnm Archive -Big 8 Conference- 237 SINCE 1957 WILDCATS ALMOST LEFT OUT OF THEIR LEAGUE BY THE ROYAL PURPLE STAFF Fans mourned the passing of the Big 8 Conference knowing tomorrow they would celebrate the birth of the Big 12 Conference. But toward the end of the 1980s, it appeared K-State would not play a part in either. Trends like declining enrollment, the conference ' s lowest; losing football teams, at the time the nation ' s longest losing streak; and inadequate facilities, the worst in the Big 8, had the Wildcats eyeing the Missouri Valley Conference. I think that ' s where we were headed. Once you lose the Big 8 and the television exposure and the Orange Bowl, you might have a situation like Wichita State, where you can ' t afford football, President Jon Wefald said. When Notre Dame left the College Football Associa- tion to negotiate its own television deal, the era of the mass- media athletic conference had begun. Colorado was being courted by the Pac-10, and the Big 10 Conference sought Missouri. Big 8 Conference schools were forced to look at their own ins titutions and ask what the future held. If the trends that had been established between 1981 and 1986 had continued through 1990, Wefald said, Kansas State would not be a member of the Big 8 today. Such a change would have been detrimental to recruit- ment not only of athletes, but also of students in general. My family has a tradition of K-State sports, Erik Pollom, sophomore in sociology, said. My uncle played football here and so did my grandfather. If K-State wasn ' t playing Big 8-level competition, I wouldn ' t have felt that tradition to come here. Since then, the University made a complete turnaround, academically and athletically. Enrollment rose to record levels in the 1990s, K-State led all public universities in Rhodes, Marshall, Truman and Goldwater Scholarships since 1986 and Cat football achieved unprecedented success. The first thing we had to do was hire a crackerjack administrative team. Second, we had to take care of declin- ing enrollment, Wefald said. For football, it meant hiring Bill Snyder and getting alumni to donate more than $10 million to rebuild our football infrastructure. As the 1980s draws to a close, the Cat ' s contin- ued presence in the Big 8 becomes questionable. Declining enrollment, losing football teams and inadequate facilities had the Cats looking into the Missouri Valley Conference.

K-State ' s 17-9 regular season was capped off by a Big 8 Tournament championship and a trip to the NCAA tournament. The Wildcats fell to eventual national-champion Louisville in the tournament ' s second round, but it would take the Cardinals overtime to earn the win. 1981 The 1981 NCAA tourna- ment propelled K-State and the Big 8 into the national spotlight. Guard Rolando Blackman ' s clutch jumper in the final seconds gave the Cats a 50-48 upset victory over No. 2 Oregon State. The Cats reached the Elite Eight before falling to North Carolina.

The Big 8 was still a football confer- ence and K-State played its part. After defeating Kansas, the Cats ' headed for their first- ever bowl game the 1982 Independence Bowl (above). Timeline It was 1985 before the Big 8 regained the football glory of the 70s. Three of four conference teams lost their bowl games, but Oklahoma ' s 25-10 victory over Penn State gave them the conference ' s only football championship of the 80s. That luck did not rub off on the Cats. Unable to repeat the success of the ' 82 season, K-State football endured what was then the nation ' s longest losing streak - 29 games between 1984 and 1986.

Two years earlier, Kansas broke a 12-year Final Four drought before losing to Duke. In the NCAA tournament, five conference teams earned bids, with Missouri and Iowa State bowing out in the first round. K-State, led by all-American Mitch Richmond, overcame La Salle, DePaul and No. 3 Purdue en route to an Elite Eight match-up with Kansas, who had victories over Xavier, Murray State and Vanderbilt. The two teams had split their regular-season meetings, with the Cats claiming a 69-54 win in the Big 8 Tournament semifinal. But the Danny Manning-led Jayhawks got the better of this meeting, using a 71-58 victory to claim their second Final Four birth in the last three years.

For 10 years, the Bicentennial Center in Salina played host to the Big 8 Women ' s Basketball Tournament. The advent of the Big 1 2 and the new conference ' s desire to plan the event at the same time and in the same city as the men ' s tournament would force the event to return to Kansas City. For Salina residents, the tournament meant more than three days of exciting basketball it was a source of pride and recognition. I think it helped put us on the map in relation to a variety of major basketball events, Gerald Cook, president of the Salina Chamber of Commerce, said. We ' ve had a host of inquiries from other organizations and associations who have at some point been here for the Big 8 Tournament. Participants said they saw that pride reflected in the attitude of the Salina residents. I ' m not sure there ' s any group of people outside Lawrence who gave us a warmer welcome every year, Kansas coach Marian Washington, whose Jayhawks won three tournament crowns in Salina, said. We enjoy coming here every year, and we just hope we can provide a good show for the fans. They earned it. Wildcat sophomore point guard Amanda Chamberlain said the Cats appreciated the reception they received in Salina year after year. The local alumni always host a banquet for us, but it ' s more than that, she said. There ' s always a good K-State crowd here, but they love the game no matter who ' s playing. While Chamberlain and the rest of the Big 8 would have to deal with a relocated tournament in coming years, Salina residents were satisfied they had made their mark on the tournament and the sport. When we got the tournament, we took a game that was playing second string to men ' s basketball in Kansas City and built it into a major sport and a major attraction, Cook said. That ' s what Salina is most proud of.

(Photo by Darren Whitley) ON o ON 1990 1 he Big 8 continued to show its strength in a variety of sports. Oklahoma State reasserted its superiority in the wrestling world by repeating as NCAA wrestling champs in 1990, the 28th wrestling title either won or shared by the Cowboys. And Nebraska claimed another gymnastics crown. But it was the 1990 Colorado football team, lead by quarter- back Darian Hagan and running back Eric Bienniemy that captured the hearts of America. The Buffaloes ' 10-9 Orange Bowl win over Notre Dame secured CU ' s first national football championship and avenged the previous year ' s loss. Timeline The Kansas men ' s basketball team endured a year of probation after its 1 988 national championship season. But second-year coach Roy Williams hardly noticed, leading his team to a No. 1 seed in the Midwest Regional bracket of the NCAA Tournament. The trip ended sooner than expected for the Jayhawks, who ended the regular season 30-4. UCLA upset the Hawks 71-70 in the second round of the tournament. 1991 Cfldahoma State and Colorado recaptured their places atop the golf and skiing worlds in 1991. Colorado, which had won eight consecutive titles in the 1970s as well as the 1982 crown, ended a nine-year absence from the top spot with the 1991 title. Oklahoma State ' s golf championship was the seventh in school history and the first of two the Cowboys would win in the ' 90s. The glory Kansas missed in 1990 came in 1991. The Jayhawks became the first Big 8 team to reach the Final Four in the ' 90s, playing Duke in the championship game. But the Blue Devils would not be denied, avenging their semifinal loss in ' 88 with a 72- 65 victory for their first NCAA tide. .l ansas basketball was again the story in 1992, one of two years in the ' 90s in which the Big 8 failed to win a national championship. The Jay hawks seemed to be the conference ' s best bet, entering the NCAA Tournament with a No. 2 ranking and the top seed in the Midwest Region. Furthermore, the road to the Final Four ran through Kansas City, Mo., where the regional semifinals and final were played. But the Hawks never got out of Dayton, Ohio, where they fell to the University of Texas-El Paso 66-60 in the second round. 1992 i 240 -Big 8 Conference- 1993 CAice again the Big 8 would find itself without a national title. And once again the Kansas Jayhawks would find themselves in the Final Four. Led by senior guards Adonis Jordan and Rex Walters, the Hawks cruised through the Midwest Regional on the way to a semifinal match-up with North Carolina. But the Eventual national champions from Chapel Hill downed Kansas 78-68. 1993 also saw the emergence of Colorado as a powerhouse in women ' s basketball. The Buffaloes won their first of three-straight regular season conference championships en route to a No. 9 final ranking. L he Big 8 found itself atop the national rankings in a number of sports in 1994 a welcome change after being shut out for the last two years. Oklahoma State ' s wrestling title, Iowa State ' s cross country tide, Oklahoma ' s baseball tide and Nebraska ' s gymnastics tide added to the already-decorated programs. But the defining moment for the Big 8 came with Tom Osbome ' s Nebraska football team downing Miami in the Orange Bowl. The win gave Osbome his first national championship in a 22-year coaching career that saw the Huskers in a bowl every year. 1994 Photo by Umvrnity Archive 1995 1 Vebraska repeated as national football champions in 1995, while the Colorado skiing and Oklahoma State golf dynasties saw their teams once again at the top. But the Colorado women ' s basketball team was the story of 1995. Behind all- American point guard Shelly Sheetz, the Buffaloes sailed undefeated through the Big 8 regular season and tournament. With a No. 1 seed and the dream of getting Coach Ceal Barry to the Final Four before her 40th birthday, the Buffs headed to the NCAA tournament only to be bounced by Georgia in the regional finals. 1996 ansas won both the men ' s and women ' s (below) Big 8 basketball championships.

After a year of struggling, he and the Wildcats are starting to collect. Mike Clark, in his ninth year as baseball coach, guided the Wildcats to a third- place finish in the Big 8 Tourna- ment in 1995. The Cats won only three league games the year before, but came back to win 12 in 1995. (Photo by Darren Whitley) Three years ago, baseball coach Mike Clark faced a monumen- tal decision a decision that could have affected the fate of his baseball team for years to come. At that time, our team was OK, but it didn ' t have the talent that was needed to compete in the Big 8 Confer- ence, Clark said. So we had to make a big decision do we go for the quick fix and bring in a bunch of transfer students, or do we go with some younger kids? Clark gambled on the second op- tion, taking a chance with a talented but young squad. We knew in the fall that the talent was there, he said. The potential was good. We said to those kids, ' All right, we ' re going to have a real struggle for a year or so, but when you get older, we have a chance of being something spe- cial. ' A psychic couldn ' t have been more accurate. Clark and his team struggled through the 1994 season, finishing with a 13-43 record, winning just three Big 8 games. The hardest thing we had to do that year was to stay positive, he said. I mean, there were some games when I ' d leave the ballpark and I ' d be sick to my stomach. I ' d go out on the back patio of my house andjust sit there and watch jets fly over until three in the morning, thinking, ' This is really tough. ' Clark wasn ' t just watching as those jets flew by. He was also thinking about two other job offers. I know there are maybe betterjobs out there, but those are for other people, he said. I knew the best job in the world for me was at Kansas State. So Clark stuck it out through the hard times, as did his players. It was very frustrating. But Coach by n icole Clark never lost faith in us, sophomore second baseman Scott Peopard said. He was always very confident and encour- aging, and people respected him. Clark said even through the hard times he had faith in the team. Every once in awhile, they ' d show you a little glimpse of their talent, he said. Or they ' d show it for seven in- nings, and then, wham, we ' d get hit with a six-run eighth inning. If you remember, one of our big wins was against Oklahoma that year, Clark said. We ' re in the middle of a 13- or 14-game losing streak, and here we knock off a team that wins the College World Series. We knew it was just a matter of time before their talent became a reality. That time came when the Cats fin- ished the 1995 season with a 29-24 record, placing third in the Big 8 Tour- nament, the best performance in school history. Last season helped our program tremendously, he said. It gave cred- ibility to what we ' d been doing. If we ' d have gone through another 13-43 year, we wouldn ' t have credibility with these kids. There would be doubts about them, and I ' m sure I would have doubted what they could do. Clark no longer had many doubts about his team. I think maybe we ' ve got the team right now that can win the Big 8 Con- ference and be the first conference champions for K-State since 1933, he said. So now when I ' m driving back from a recruiting visit at 2:30 in the morning, if I get a little depressed, all I do is think, ' Hey, my whole goal is to walk off the field one of these days with a conference championship, ' Clark said. That just gets me going again. poell -Clark- 243 Flipping the ball to second base, Heath Schesser, sophomore shortstop, goes for a force out in the Cats ' loss 14-9 to Oral Roberts University Feb. 18.

Breakthrough. Last season was really a breakthrough year for the kids and hopefully for the program ' s future, he said. Clark and the Wildcats endured a 13-43 season in 1 994, and then witnessed that same team mature into a formidable conference force in 1 995 a force strong enough to finish third in the Big 8 Tournament and improve its record by 1 6 games to 29-24 overall. But Clark said it did not surprise him. It was just a matter of time. It was a situation where I think potential turned into reality, he said. We all knew those guys could do those things on the playing field, and they all went out and did them, and they all had great years. Among the Cats who received recognition for their outstanding seasons were junior right fielder Chris Hess, junior pitcher Matt Koeman and sophomore second baseman Scott Poepard. All three players were selected to the all-Big 8 first team, something that had not happened since 1968. Hess led the team in hitting at .387 and finished as the Big 8 ' s fourth-best hitter. He also became a third- time first-team member of the Phillips 66 Academic all-Big 8 honor roll. Koeman was 6-2 on the year overall and 3-1 in league play. Some highlights of his season included a two-hit win against Oklahoma, the defending College World Series Champion, as well as a three-hit complete game victory over Oklahoma State. That performance was enough to earn Koeman all-Big 8 Tournament honors. Last season was really a After hitting a two-run home run against the Wichita State Shockers April 6, David Hendrix, junior designated hitter, receives high fives from teammates.

After going 6-for-16 at the Big 8 Tournament, Poepard also earned all-Big 8 Tournament honors. Three players made the league ' s second team junior designated hitter Dave Hendrix, senior catcher Chris Bouchard and junior pitcherjon Albrecht. Making the honorable mention list were senior outfielder Tim Decker and pitchers Eric Yanz, sophomore, and Larry Walty, senior. The nine total selections to all- league teams were the most ever for a K-State baseball team. The same team that struggled for two years finally got the experience it needed. But those two years felt like eternity, Hendrix said. After my freshman year (1993), I didn ' t think things could get any worse, but they did, he said. Everything bad that could have happened that year (1994) happened to us. Even though the Cats were futile for two seasons, Hendrix said he knew the team would turn it around. We knew what we could do last year, so we just went out and did it, he said. And doubts we had going into last year are gone, so that ' s helped.

It was just a very rewarding season, Clark said. Some of the games we played were so crazy and exciting, you ' d just sit back and enjoy it. It was one of those deals that even when the game was over, the kids still believed they could come back and give us one more inning. I mean, we beat Oklahoma twice, a team that went to the College World Series, and for the first time in 17 years, we put a loss to Oklahoma State in the first round of the conference tournament, Clark said. There weren ' t really many disappointments. Everybody, especially during the last half of the season, really put their game together and just got better and better. Before losing to Iowa State, the squad was just a base hit away from competing for the Big 8 Tournament championship. After the last game had been played, the team found themselves tied with Nebraska for fourth- place in the conference standings with a 13-14 record, which was quite an improvement from 1994 ' s 3-27 league mark. I thought our kids really came a long way, and our program is really focused in the right direction, Clark said. At the end of the season, we were a regional ballclub, and we ' re hoping to carry that on. It was fun. The kids really had fun. Second baseman Scott Poepard agreed. Last year, everything finally came together for us, Poepard said. We definitely think we could have the best team K-State has ever had. I can ' t see us doing anything but winning from now on.

Not only did they rise to varsity status, but also early every morning for a two-hour practice. I get up at 5:30 a.m. and have my clothes on when I go to bed, Jinny Wilson, junior in pre-medicine, said. The crew ' s hard work and dedication drew the attention of the administration when the University began looking for a women ' s team to make varsity. We heard the official announcement from Max Urick on July 10, Alan Koch, women ' s crew coach, said. It began appearing in the papers on the weekend of the 12th. The change, scheduled to take place in September 1996, reflected the 1972 Title IX act requiring universities to provide equal opportunities to women athletes. If more women ' s varsity sports were not made available, federal funding would be taken away from K-State. Exposure from the elevated status would help the crew recruit rowers with experience and also teach others the sport. Rowing is a sport unlike football, track and basketball, Koch said. Very few have competed in high school. So, there has to be a training ground somewhere. Once crew became a varsity sport, scholarships would be offered to team members, allowing the women to focus completely on rowing. The change would help the varsity women ' s team a lot, Koch said. Now coming up with dues often means a part-time job. Until then, finding money to pay for rowing expenses was a problem for some crew members. I don ' t have a job. My parents pay for everything I need, but we do have fund raisers for people who don ' t have the money, Wilson said. They really do After completing a two-hour practice, members of the women ' s crew team carry their boat up to the boat house for storage. Both the men ' s and women ' s crew teams practiced from 6-8 a.m. every morning. (Photo by Shane Keyser) try to help out if money is a problem. The team had several fund raisers, including the Rent-a-Rower and the Ergathon. The crew looked to the community to raise funds with the Rent-a-Rower fund raiser. We put an ad in the local paper and if people had odd jobs they could get rowers to come out and help, Wilson said. Physical endurance helped the team raise money with the Ergathon. Team members collected pledges for every mile they rowed on the Erg rowing machine. The money helped offset expenses for the year. Entry fees to the regattas, travel costs, $80 dues and other expenses were the responsibility of the members. Expenses added up as the crew competed year around in four different seasons, Koch said. The fall season featured long endurance races against the clock on rivers and lakes. In the winter, the crew competed in 2,000- and 2,500-meter Erg challenges. The spring competitions were side-by-side lane races and the summer races were singles or pairs in smaller boats. The spring is my favorite, right after the winter competitions because we are in better shape and it is a more competitive season, Kim Desch, sophomore in pre-nursing, said. Crew members trained specifically for their competition level. Different ones specialize in certain events, Koch said. Some members are more recreational than others. They are in it more for the fun of rowing. Nine varsity women traveled with the men ' s crew team to regional competitions, and the two teams worked together during practices and on the road. Varsity men ' s and women ' s teams practice together at six in the morning. We ' re out there from six to eight. If there is not enough women in a boat we will row with the men, Wilson said. We work closely together. If the women need something the men are there and vice- versa. Koch said the crew had potential and with the coming varsity status, the community should provide the support necessary for the team to succeed. As rowing gets more publicity, more people get involved and hopefully more people will go out to the lake, he said. 248 -Women ' s Crew- During a practice at Tuttle Creek Reservoir, Jenny Wilson, junior in biology, and Alice Williams, sophomore in German, pull back on the oars.

We saw it in the intramural booklet and thought it sounded like fun, so we thought we ' d give it a try, said Dan Bates, Major Infractions team member and junior in animal sciences and industry. We ' ve never done anything like it before just played the regu- lar sports like football, basketball and softball so we thought we ' d go out of the ordinary and try something new and different, he said. Inner tube water polo, a co-recreational intramural sport, was at- tractive because it looked like fun and was different than other sports. Scoring the most goals within the 24 min- utes of play was the ob- An overall view of the playing surface, the Natatorium at Ahearn Field House, where intramural inner tube water polo is played.

Seven team members, equipped with inner tubes and numbered caps, maneuvered the ball from one end of the pool to the other, passing it from teammate to teammate. Goals were scored when a thrown ball crossed the front plane of a net goal located along the outer edge of the pool. Maneuvering the ball was not difficult, but trying to remember the rules was hard. One thing that is hard to remember is that guys can only throw to girls, Bates said. When you have a guy that ' s open, it ' s hard to resist throwing it to them. Male-to-male passes were considered minor infractions resulting in the other team receiving an indirect throw. Minor infractions occur when a player splashes someone who doesn ' t have the ball, holds the ball for more than 15 seconds, or makes a guy- to-guy pass, said Ron Dubbert, recreational ser- vices intramural supervisor and senior in agribusiness. They result in the other team getting an indirect throw, where a member puts the ball in play and can ' t be touched and the pass can ' t be interfered with, he said. Major infractions resulted in direct throws, which means a throw can be taken by the player fouled with the opportunity of directly scoring a goal. Major infractions occurred when a person was caught holding, pushing, hitting, jumping on or dunking an opponent. Most of the teams don ' t know the rules, so it ' s our job to teach them within the first couple of games, Dubbert said. Hopefully by the end of the tournament, the teams know and understand the rules. Sixteen teams participated in the double-elimi- nation tournament, played Sunday and Wednesday nights at the Natatorium. It ' s an awesome sport, said Paul Hoeller, Aiche team member and senior in chemical engi- neering. The nice thing about this sport is that it doesn ' t matter if you ' re Michael Jordan or Bo Jackson, everybody is at the same level. It all depends on how crazy you are. 250 -Water Polo- Before being dumped over by Jessica Lange, junior in biology, Lisa Meiergard, junior in family studies and human services, tries to score during a water polo game.

The teams competed in the final Big 8 Champion- ships Oct. 27 at Rim Rock Farm in Lawrence. Coach Terry Drake said he was impressed by the improvement of the men ' s team, which placed fourth after last year ' s seventh-place mark. I ' m happy for the men, Drake said. They stayed focused and deter- mined throughout the entire race. To finish fourth in one of the best cross-country confer- ences in the country isn ' t bad at all. Junior Ryan Clive- Smith led the team with a 13th-place finish and a time of 24:47. Junior John Thorpe placed 20th with a time of 25:27, junior David Dominguez came in 22nd and sophomore Paul Birnbaum finished 32nd. Thorpe said the Big 8 meet was beneficial for the team. We, as a team, really came together at the Big 8 meet, Thorpe said. It was a lot better showing than last year. steps to making a good team and everyone wanted to be a part of the team effort. RYAN CLIVE-SMITH Drake said he was pleased with Clive-Smith ' s strong performance in the meet. Ryan Clive-Smith really stayed in there and competed, he said. He fell back some and then did what it took to get caught back up. There are very few runners that compare to him, Drake said. What he doesn ' t have in physical gifts, he makes up for mentally. Clive-Smith attributed his success to a different training program. It was different this year as far as training goes, he said. It was probably better this season. I didn ' t train as hard over the summer as I did last year. I waited until I got back here and started training with attention on being able to last the entire season and being able to be at my peak at the end of the season. Clive-Smith said he found teamwork to be a stronger asset than in previous seasons. We took a lot of positive steps to making a good team and everyone wanted to be a part of the team effort, he said. We just had a team spirit that made it easy for us to work together, which was evident when the training and the team came together for the Big 8 meet. We all were able to do better. That team overcame the nationally-ranked Jayhawks at Kansas ' meet to open the season. At that point in time, both their men and women were nationally ranked and to beat them on their home course was a big deal, Drake said. Also, at the same time there was a high school meet going on, so from the recruiting standpoint it was good.

He won the KU meet and for the rest of the year he was a solid No. 2 guy, Drake said. I was hoping for a little more from him, but one of the areas that has been down in the past was having a solid No. 2 runner. While the Big 8 Championships were a high point for the men, their performance at District V Champi- onships did not equal that of the women ' s team. The women ' s team finished a disappointing fifth in the Big 8 meet but senior Irma Betancourt finished in eighth place with a time of 18:20. Irma had one of the best races of her career, Drake said. She did a great job of going out and staying with the leaders, which is what we need her to do. Betancourt, the team ' s front runner, agreed the Big 8 meet was one of her best races. My best performance was in the Big 8, she said. Even though my time wasn ' t too good and it wasn ' t a PR (personal record), I think I ran more aggressive than at the other races. Junior Samantha McNamara placed 23rd, fol- lowed by sophomore Charity Swartz, 24th, and fresh- man Cristy Swartz, 30th. In spite of the downfall during the Big 8 meet, the women improved to finish fourth in the District V Championships Nov. 11. Districts proved to be the best meet of the season for the women. It was emotionally up and down, Drake said. The girls really stepped up. I couldn ' t have asked for more from them. Betancourt was the only team member to qualify for the NCAA Cross Country Championships, plac- ing eighth at Districts and 1 12th at the NCAA Cham- pionships in Ames, Iowa, Nov. 12. Competing at nationals was difficult and disap- pointing for Betancourt. I thought I was going to do real well, she said. Maybe I was a little bit insecure when I was at the competition. Maybe I wasn ' t really in the race. I focused too much on the pain because it was really cold. I didn ' t think too much about the race, Betancourt said. I just wanted to get done with it. Drake said he was impressed with her progress. Her progress over the past four years has been unbelievable, he said. This year, she had a solid year. She came with a set plan and was thinking ' I ' m going to qualify for nationals.

We do everything together as a team here. DINAHWATSO FRESHMAN IN KINESIOLOGY IN ORDER to compete athletically and academically, international athletes discovered American colleges offered opportunities foreign to their native countries. I thought it was a great opportunity to come to the states, said Karen Nicholson, tennis team member and sophomore in public health nutrition, said. Back home, I wasn ' t able to do both get an education and compete so my parents agreed that this was the best option. My friends think it is exciting for me to be studying and competing here. Nicholson and her roommate, fellow tennis team member Dinah Watson, were from England. It is a bit of a reward to come here and be able to compete and learn at the same time, Watson, freshman in kinesiology, said. My friends couldn ' t believe it. It was kind of like a dream to come to America, especially for four years to study and play. For Watson and Nicholson, Manhattan was their first taste of America. However, Esa Sallinen, Finnish pole vaulter and freshman in environmental design, had already been to the United States as a foreign exchange student in California. I went home for a year and got a call from the coach wanting to know if I would join the track team, he said. I had heard about the architecture department here and that it was really good. I was looking for a scholarship and K-State was the only one that offered me a full ride, so I came here. Another track team member, Ryan Clive-Smith, senior in marketing, said he came to the University partially because of the coaches. The coach at the time made it sound so good here, dive-Smith said. He painted a pretty good picture of what was happening here and from the schools that I could choose from, I chose this. Clive-Smith, a South Africa native, ran both cross country and track. It was fortunate that when I came here, it was as good as he had said, Clive-Smith said. When you come from that far away, you look for ways to eliminate schools and you look at the opportunities that they can give you. International athletes adjusted to being far from home. Everything is different here, Watson said. Here we have a weight room, set practice times and the clothes are provided for you. It is so different than playing on your own. Differences were not limited to culture and climate, Watson said. The attitude toward the sport is different - you ' re respected here, she said. You can enjoy the sport, something that you can ' t do as much in England because of how professional the competition is there. For many international athletes, the reason to come to the U.S. was simpler. In their home countries, athletics were set apart from academics, which made athletes decide which was more important, Sallinen said. It ' s much easier here because it ' s all at once, he said. You can ' t finance sports and school at the same time, so you have to work and that takes away from studying and practicing. American schools gave athletes more opportunities than their native countries, Clive-Smith said. There are many more options here, he said. I prefer it this way because I get the opportunity to go to school and compete for the school. Obviously, I get an education and a lot more recognition. This type of stuff would never really happen at home. For the most part, differences in team structures and coaching methods worked in the athletes ' favor. Now I always have someone to practice with and workout with which makes it all the more fun, Sallinen said. In Finland, it ' s just you and the coach. Track is a team sport here and you go against other schools, but in Finland you ' re always an individual. He said he liked the team aspect of American sports. I think teamwork is much better here, Sallinen said. You ' re not only responsible for yourself. If you do badly in the meet there, it only affects you; but here it affects the team and that makes you work so much harder. You ' re part of a team, so you have to try to do your best all of the time. 256 -Foreign Athletes- I I Finland native, Esa Sallinen, takes a break from track practice.

As the leading offensive player for the Wildcats, Young helped Coach Jim Moore lead the team to their first winning season in three years. Young, a Nebraska native was disap- pointed when she was ' snubbed ' by the Comhuskers, but after playing for K-State she found herself proving the Huskers had made a mistake. (Photo by Craig Hacker) The Nebraska program snubbed her. And the Wildcats ' gain is what Young wants to be NU ' s loss. If volleyball player Yolanda Young could have had her way coming out of high school, she would have played volleyball for die No . 1 -ranked Nebraska Comhuskers. I was big-red bred, Young said. I was a Husker fan ever since I was a little kid. Everyone is crazy for Nebraska. Then there was the fact that I lived in Omaha. Everybody there wanted to go to Nebraska, and that included me. Young didn ' t end up at Nebraska as she had hoped, even though the Huskers initially recruited her. Instead, she took a scholarship to play for the Big 8 Conference ' s worst volleyball program at the time K-State. It kind of happened over a period of time, Young said. Actually, Nebraska kind of pushed me off. Nebraska ' s loss was the Wildcats ' gain. Young stepped in immediately and became the Wildcats ' top offensive weapon during her freshman year. She led the team with 979 attacks and 315 kills, with double-digit kills in at least 1 4 matches. It was a big adjustment, Young said. It was a big shock. College volleyball is just another step or two better than club and high school. I figured I would redshirt, but I got the opportunity to play. Former volleyball coach Patti Hagemeyer said Young was the Big 8 ' s most explosive offensive weapon even when she was a freshman. She can really put it away, Hagemeyer said two years ago. I can ' t wait to see how she is when she is a senior. Everybody will be talking about how great of an offensive player Yolanda is. Young topped her freshman season by earning second team all-Big 8 honors last year. Starting all 97 games, she led by Jeremy crabtree the team with 920 attacks and 381 kills. The Wildcats had their first winning season in three years. When Jim Moore took over as coach before Young ' s sophomore year, the Wildcats were learning a completely new offense. She was really our only offensive weapon last season, he said. Whenever we needed a big play, we turned to her. She came through remarkably throughout the season. Our offense is set up so that anybody can be an attacker, but last year Yolanda was it. Young said it was hard adjusting to the new offense, but over time she learned to use it to her advantage. At the beginning of her junior year, she was already seventh on the Wildcats ' all- time kill charts. I was having a hard time picking up the entire offense, she said. I wasn ' t the only one though, Young said. The offense has a lot to do with timing. It was hard for all of us to adjust and open up and release. Now that we ' re in the second year widi the offense and with Coach Moore, we ' re starting to really get things together. Even as Young filled the record books, she wondered about what could have been at Nebraska. But she said she had no regrets about choosing K-State. I could have walked-on and been playing on the No. 1 team right now, Young said. I ' m glad things happened like they did. I like it here at Kansas State. Before I leave I want this team to go to the NCAA Tournament. That will happen next year. A bigger goal for me is to have this team get to the Sweet 16, Young said. That will show Nebraska what they missed. -Young- 259 Senior Jill Dugan passes to a teammate. Dugan was the Wildcats ' defensive specialist, leading the team in digs.

That ' s what the volleyball team took this season, finishing with 21-12 record and advancing to postseason play for the first rime since 1979. The Wildcats ' postseason trip was to the National Invitational Volleyball Championships in Kansas City ' s Municipal Auditorium. K-State went 2-2 in pool play, with victories against Drake and Rice. K-State had a chance to advance to the semi-finals of the tournament, but it lost 3-2 to Rhode Island. The results aren ' t what we wanted, but we learned a lot, said Jim Moore, volleyball coach. We made a lot of progress this season, and we did a lot of good things. Yolanda Young, K-State ' s top offensive weapon, said the Cats will be even better next season after this year ' s postseason experience. I see no reason why we can ' t make it the NCAA Tournament next season, Young said. We ' ll be there. We ' ve taken some big steps with Coach Moore, and we will only continue to go forward from here. Still, the loss in the postseason didn ' t put a negative spin on the Wildcats ' season, as the Wildcats accom- plished a lot in Moore ' s second season as coach. The transformation from perennial cellar-dweller to conference contender was complete. Before Moore arrived, the Cats hadn ' t had a winning season in three years, but this season ' s 21-12 record marked K-State ' s second straight winning season. Post-season play wasn ' t the only honor established by the volleyball team. Earlier in the season, middle We made a lot of blocker Kate DeClerk was named the AVCA National Division I player of the week. DeClerk was rewarded for her performance in the KSU Invitational, where she registered 47 kills, 37 digs, 23 total blocks and four service aces. Really, it was a team honor, DeClerk said. I couldn ' t have done it without Devon Ryning setting me up all the time. I still can ' t believe I was se- lected. After capturing the KSU Invitational, the Cats continued to roll in the early part of the sea- son. In fact, at one point K-State had a 12-2 record. The Cats peaked when they defeated na- tionally-ranked Colo- rado 3-1 Sept. 30 in Ahearn Fieldhouse. progress this season, and we did a lot of good things. JIM MOORE VOLLEYBALL COACH Later that week, the Cats were rewarded for their play by receiving votes for the top 25 poll for the first time in school history. That was a really, really big win for us, Moore said. It proved that we could play with anybody in the Big 8. The key for us was to continue to play like that every match. We didn ' t do that all season, but against Colorado we put it all together. (continued on page 254) No. 1 6 Colorado, earning its first-ever Top 25 votes -Volleyball- 261 (continued from page 261) DeClerk said she expects more wins over nation- ally-ranked opponents and additional national recogni- tion as long as Moore is at K-State. I heard that we had gotten some votes for the top 25, DeClerk said. That just proves that someone else is paying attention to what is happening here. Coach - Moore believes in us, and we believe in him. We ' re now ready to contend with anybody. The Wildcats did have a chance to qualify to play in the Big Eight Tournament, but they lost to Colorado in the last match of the season. The loss left K-State with a 5-7 record in Big 8 play, good for a fifth-place finish. We knew that we could have beaten them, Young said. We needed that win, but we just didn ' t play well. It kind of puts a dissappointing end on the Big Eight season. Moore said since K-State was unable to qualify for the Big Eight and NCAA Tournaments there still is room for improvement. We feel short of what we wanted, Moore said. Before the season, I thought we had a chance to go to the Big 8 Tournament, and I know the players wanted to be in the NCAA Tournament. We ' re close to where we need to be to become a good program. I hope we ' re built for the future. g K-STATE VOLLEYBALL Long Beach State L . 1-3 Valparaiso .

So were wide receiver Ron Brown and starring offensive linemen Barrett Brooks and Jim Hmlewski. The Cats responded by recording their first 10- win season in 86 years, finishing sixth in the USA Today CNN Coaches Poll and seventh in the Associated Press Poll the highest marks in school history and dominating one of the top bowl games in college football. It ' s a great feeling, Coach Bill Snyder said of the 1995 season, something they (the seniors) can remember for the rest of their lives and talk to their grandchildren about. The Cats ' storybook season started with skepticism of senior quarterback Matt Miller. After transferring from Texas A M and sitting out a year at K-State, he had just a few months to convince fans that May was replaceable. Miller dispelled preliminary jitters five games into the season, leading the Cats to a 5-0 start as they won three straight games Akron, Northern Illinois and Missouri by a combined score of 141-0. The 44-0 win against Northern Illinois served as another benchmark of success in the Snyder era, as he surpassed Mike Aheam as the winningest coach in school history. After squeaking past Oklahoma State 23-17, the No. 8 Cats thought they were prepared for a showdown with No. 2 Nebraska. Similar to the year before, both teams were undefeated and the game was broadcast by ABC. Another shot at the Cornhuskers. Another chance to prove this year was different. Another blowout - Nebraska 49, K-State 25. I thought we were past the point where anyone could beat us like this, junior wide receiver Kevin Lockett said. At the time, the loss seemed devastating to the Cats, and Kansas, the next opponent, had just humiliated Oklahoma in Norman and would come to Manhattan undefeated and armed with a No. 6 ranking. For Miller, who took nothing away from the Nebraska game except a dizzy head, a sick feeling and a bunch of bumps and bruises, redemption rested with beating the Jayhawks. If we beat them, all these feelings will go away, he said. The Cat offense, which was blamed for the loss in Lincoln, played with a passion that resulted in a 41-7 victory for K-State its largest victory over Kansas in 40 years in front of a KSU Stadium-record 44,284 fans. This was a nightmare, Brett McGraw, Kansas (continued on page 266) Sophomore cornerback Chris Canty picks off a pass against Colorado Nov. 1 8.

For the first time in 16 years, K-State had two backs, sophomores Eric Hickson and Mike Lawrence, rush for more than 100 yards. The Cats ' defense grounded the Jayhawks ' running game, allowing just 19 yards. I didn ' t think anyone could shut our offense down like they did, KU coach Glen Mason said. K-State carried that emotion through the next two games, trouncing No. 25 Oklahoma 49-10 an d Iowa State 49-7. It was the third-straight win against the Sooners, sending a resounding signal that the Cats would remain among the league ' s elite. Oklahoma hadn ' t suffered such an overwhelming loss in 50 years, and it was K- State ' s biggest victory ever against the Sooners. This is the worst physical beating I ' ve ever been associated with, OU coach Howard Schnellenberger said. I know it could have been worse. Miller set a conference record in the game at Ames, throwing two touchdown passes and bringing his season total to 22, surpassing Nebraska ' s Vince Ferragamo ' s previous mark of 20. Right now the record doesn ' t mean as much as it will, Miller said. But I know someday I ' ll be bragging to my grandchildren about it. The Cats arrived at their final game of the season against No. 9 Colorado. The winner would play on New Year ' s Day in the Cotton Bowl. Falling 144 seconds shy of reserving a spot in Dallas, the Cats led 17-13 when Colorado ' s John Hessler orchestrated an 80-yard drive, yielding the go-ahead score with a little more than a minute to play. The Buffaloes got another touchdown with 45 seconds left after recovering a K-State fumble in the end zone. It hurts, Miller said. It hurts bad and it will hurt for a long time. But the Cats would have another day Dec. 29 at the Holiday Bowl in San Diego. They would complete the most successful season in school history with a 52- 21 victory over the Colorado State Rams. After being predisposed to the era of futility, I never expected anything like this, senior tight end Brian Lojka said. (The program) has risen to a level of optimism to where we can do things that were totally inconceivable years ago.

I was happy to see so much purple there, Jerrod Westfahl.junor in agricultural economics, said. I think the people down at the Cotton Bowl had some second thoughts after r seeing the game. Cotton Bowl officials chose Colorado over K- State and had to watch a sparse crowd at the New Year ' s Day game. Heather Lee, senior in management, attended the Cats ' past three bowl games but said the fans ' spirit and support at the Holiday Bowl was incomparable to that of past years. We heard one person say ' I hope the last person from Kansas turned out the lights, ' Lee said. I actually think it was a Colorado State fan. The pep rally Dec. 28 at the San Diego Civic Center turned out to be the Cats ' largest bowl pep rally in history. The K-State Marching Band and Mitch Holthus began entertaining the crowd but once the players arrived, the spotlight turned. We walked in and saw about the same size crowd we had at the Copper Bowl pep rally, senior wide receiver Mitch Running said. Then we got to the stage and turned around and saw the purple in the deck. It was unbelieveable. Our fans were going nuts. It was something to see. That enthusiasm carried over into the game where as many as 12,000 purple-clad fans packed the south side of Jack Murphy Stadium, roaring with delight when the Cats took the field. We were awestruck at all the purple in the stadium, John Reid, executive director of the Holiday Bowl, said. The newspaper out here said there were at least 12,000 K-Staters at the game and there ' s no way to know exactly, but I can ' t dispute that figure. Those fans got what they expected from start to finish. Sophomore running back Eric Hickson returned the opening kick-off for 34 yards, then broke a 1 9-yard run on the first play from scrimmage. Seven plays later, Hickson carried the ball into the end zone for the first score of the game. But matters would get more serious. The Rams would also score on their first possession, tying the game 7-7 going into the second quarter. Then every Wildcat fan ' s heart stopped when Colorado State linebacker Nate Kvamme slammed head-first into senior quarterback Matt Miller on a third-and-long play. The game was stopped and the stadium fell silent while team doctors huddled around (continued on page 273) 270 -Holiday Bowl- Loach Bill Snyder is greeted by Wildcat fans at the pep rally at the San Diego Civic Center the night before the game.

The first thing I thought when he got hit was ' I hope he gets up, ' junior quarterback Brian Kavanagh, Miller ' s back-up, said. Then when he didn ' t get up, I thought Til be OK for the next series. ' And then when they brought the stretcher in, I was just worried about him. The Wildcats ' record- breaking quarterback was gone, and the offense was forced to punt. But the defense took over, intercepting a Ram pass to set the Cats up for a two- play, 12-second scoring drive, capped by sophomore running back Mike Lawrence ' s 5-yard punce through the defense. Basically, we were in man coverage and it was overthrown, junior safety Mario Smith said of the interception, the first of two that would earn him Defensive Most- Valuable-Player honors. My man wasn ' t going after it, and I just reached Junior quarterback Brian Kavanagh sets his feet to pass while a Wildcat lineman stifles a defender. Kavanagh threw four touchdown passes to earn Offensive Most-Valuable Player touchdown pass of the season to give K-State a 26-7 half- time lead. By the time it was all over, Lawrence would notch his second touchdown and Kavanagh would connect with senior receivers Mitch Running and Tyson Schwieger and junior receiver Kevin Lockett, making the final margin 54- 21. My final catch was a touchdown, said Running, who walked on to the squad five years ago. Like I ' ve always said, I ' ve had a storybook year this year. I ' m really happy for the way things turned out, and I ' m happy for the team. We ' ve started a tradition here at Kansas State, and it ' s only going to go upwards. The vaunted Wildcat secondary, led by Smith, held the Rams to only 132 yards 76 yards under their average and picked three interceptions. Many people have been recognizing me and Joe (Gordon) and Chuck (Marlowe), and Mario has always been our unsung honors. (Photo by Steve Hebert) out for it. A defensive stop on the Rams ' next series allowed senior cornerback Gordon Brown to block the punt. Two more plays, 32 more seconds, and senior fullback Dederick Kelly burst up the middle for an 18-yard touchdown. Talk about taking the pressure off me, Kavanagh reflected after the game. The game is tied and Mario picks off a pass and gives us the ball inside the 30 (yard line). A couple plays later we score. The next series we block a punt and get the same field position. I had been in the game four snaps and we had two touchdowns. From there the Cats simply put the game in cruise control. Senior tight end Brian Lojka would catch his fifth hero, sophomore comerback Chris Canty said. Now he had his chance to shine. The win made this perhaps the best season in the history of Wildcat football. K-State ' s 10-2 record was the best since Mike Ahearn ' s 10-1 team of 1910, and its 5-2 finish in the Big 8 was good for a tie for second place. K-State ' s No. 7 finish in the Associated Press Poll and No. 6 in the USA Today CNN Coaches Poll were the highest the school had ever achieved. I ' m happy for our seniors, Coach Bill Snyder said, because they get to leave with a victory, a 1 0-win season and all of those things that had not been accomplished at Kansas State before. It ' s a great feeling. -Holiday Bowl- 273 w m e n ' s b a s 1 c e t b a 1 by dan lewerenz Junior post Adria Jones tries to evade two Ohio players during a home game Dec. 6.

It wasn ' t supposed to be like this. JACK HARTMAN INTERIM BASKETBALL COACH One could not have asked for a stranger season. The women ' s bas- ketball team bounced back from the suspension of their coach to beat No. 22 Oklahoma State on the road be- fore closing the season with two con- secutive losses to Kansas. This has just been a really trying season, junior wing Missy Decker said. Statistically, it was a down year for the Wildcats. Coach Brian Agler had rescued a dying program in 1993, posting a 27-27 record in his first two years, including a 14-13 mark in 1995 K-State ' s first win- ning record since 1991. The Cats finished the 1995-96 season 5-9 in Big 8 play and 14-16 overall. That was before the team was forced to forfeit three confer- ence and eight nonconference wins, knocking them down to the No. 8 seed in the Big 8 Tournament. The forfeits resulted from the NCAA ' s Feb. 9 suspension of five players, who had their eligibility restored before they missed a game. Agler and senior point guard Carlene Mitchell were also suspended and Jack Hartman, K-State ' s winningest men ' s basketball coach and a notorious opponent of women ' s basketball in the 1970s, was appointed as interim coach. This was not how it was supposed to end, Hartman said after the team ' s final loss. These girls tried their hardest. It wasn ' t supposed to be like this. The season started on a high note when the Cats won the Wildcat Classic Nov. 25-26 with wins over Bradley and Lamar. Junior post Andria Jones ' 29-point performance in the champion- ship gave the team the post presence it needed after the graduation of all-conference star Shanele Stires. Andria ' s really coming on. She ' s starting to come into our system and understand how she can score in a lot of different ways, Agler said. And she ' s earned it. She has worked really hard. Wins over Wichita State and Grambling State gave the team a 4-0 start before Memphis defeated the Cats. Ohio then dealt the team its second straight setback in a 69-68 loss Dec. 10. However, the game provided the first look at one of K-State ' s future stars as freshman post Jenny Coalson scored 12 points in her first start as a Wildcat. I ' m still a little nervous, but with each day I ' m becoming more confident, she said. Going into practice everyday, I was just working as hard as I could. So when I got to start, it was just more incentive to work even harder.

It was the second time the Kansas teams played against each other in less than a week. A first-round loss to the Jayhawks, 70-64, eliminated the Wildcats from further tourna- ment play. (Photo by Darren Whitley) (continued from page 274) The Cats recovered from the Ohio loss by beating Michigan, but trouble was once again on the hori- zon. The team dropped consecutive games to Southwest Missouri State, Northwestern and George Wash- ington in the San Juan Shootout in Puerto Rico Dec. 16-19. All three opposing teams were receiving votes in the Associated Press and USA Today CNN Coaches ' polls, and Northwestern had just cracked the AP Poll at No. 25. When you play against good competition, you find out what your weaknesses are because they get ex- ploited and you also find out what your strengths are, Agler said. And this is great for our ladies. You get to see a different part of the world, and they get some time to- gether away from campus, which really helps them out personally, he said. Junior wing Kjersten Larson said travel helped bring the team closer together. I think we learn a little bit about each other, she said. It almost seems like the further we go the closer we get. The Cats righted themselves with a three-game nonconference winning streak when they returned home, taking an 8-5 record into Big 8 play. A win over Missouri in the conference home opener rekindled hopes of a winning season. (Jones) really did an awesome job on Erika Martin, with the team doubling down and helping her, sophomore wing Brit Jacobson, the team ' s leading scorer, said. Martin, the leading scorer for Missouri and the Big 8, was held to four points in the first half. The Cats ' luck ended there. They would fall to Colorado, Iowa State and Nebraska before a two- win homestand against No. 17 Okla- homa State and Oklahoma, who gave them their last even conference record of the season, 3-3. After a nonconference loss to Arkansas State, the Cats fell at home to Kansas and at Missouri and Colo- rado, dropping their record to 1 1-12 overall and 3-6 in the Big 8. That ' s when Agler and six players were found in violation of NCAA rules. Agler had paid five players for working at his summer camp, which violated NCAA regulations. The players ' eligibility was immediately restored and Agler accepted an ad- ministrative position in the Office of Institutional Advancement. With Hartman at the helm, the Cats beat Nebraska Feb. 9 before dropping to Iowa State on the road Feb. 18 and a 78-42 thrashing of Hampton again fueled thoughts of a salvageable season. However, a 66-56 loss to the Jayhawks in Lawrence Feb. 25 and news of the forfeits, which dropped the Cats from a tie for sixth in the conference to No. 8, ended the regular season on a down note. With a 13-15 record, the Cats went to the final Big 8 Tournament March 2 in Salina to face Kansas for the second time in less than a week. They came up short again with a 70- 64 loss to end the season. I am really proud of my team, Hartman said. We played ex- tremely hard. We didn ' t play as well as we have played, we didn ' t play nearly as well as we ' re capable of playing, and we didn ' t play quite as well as we wanted to, but we played very hard and got back in the game on a couple of occasions. tie for 6th place to 8th place in the Big 8 Conference -Women ' s Basketball- 277 VARSITYWALK-ONS giving their all for the love of COMPETITION from the background to the front page stories of determination BY DAN rWERENZ I look back on some of the games, and it ' s pretty special what we ' ve been able to do.

The National Invitational Volleyball Championship. The Big 8 Tournament. Whether in the familiar confines of Manhattan or on the sunny shores in San Diego, Wildcat athletes learned to live in the spotlight. For many who were stars in high school, such attention seemed normal. Others rose to stardom from relative obscurity. Varsity squads owed much of their success to the hard work and diligence of walk-on athletes. I hoped I could eventually get a scholarship, because I probably couldn ' t afford to stay otherwise, said Mitch Running, a wide receiver who walked on the football team in 1991. A lot of people back home thought I was kind of stupid. They thought I was a Division Ill-caliber player. Running proved them wrong. A year of playing on the practice squad paid off when Coach Bill Snyder announced Running would receive a scholarship. It was really exciting, Running, senior in social science, said. He hadn ' t even told me yet, but he said it in the newspaper after spring practice. I was just elated. By the time he was a senior, Running was a nationally recognized figure. He started every game his senior year, catching 51 passes for 756 yards in the regular season. Running also excelled on special teams, serving as the Cats ' punt-return specialist, and in a rare trick play, he received a pass from, then completed a pass to, senior quarterback Matt Miller. I ' ve had the opportunity to do a lot of things at K- State that no one thought I ' d do, Running said. It ' s really been the experience of a lifetime. For others, the road to success seemed much longer. Todd Hlasney, wide receiver and senior in kinesiology, was given an opportunity to play football in college. I was recruited by a lot of the junior colleges in the area and by Emporia State, Hlasney said. Instead, he chose to come to K-State and not play. Hlasney said he had a hard time watching games because he wanted to be on the field. I missed the opportunity to play and thought I had the ability to be out there, he said. Hlasney walked on as a sophomore and played four years for the Cats without receiving a scholarship, but he said the experience was still worth the effort. Hlasney caught two passes as a senior, including an eight-yard reception against Northern Illinois, the longest of his career. It ' s pretty fulfilling, Hlasney said. Just getting the chance to be part of the team the chance to do what everyone said I couldn ' t do made the sacrifice worthwhile. I wish I could have gotten to play more, but when you play behind guys line Mitch, Tyson (Schwieger) and Kevin (Lockett), you ' re grateful for the opportunities you get. Sara Munson, freshman in civil engineering, also waited before joining the Cat basketball team, but not long. Although she was offered a scholarship by Wichita State, Washburn, K-State and other Big 8 schools, Munson originally decided not to play basketball in college. I always said if I played ball in college, I would play for K-State, Munson said. But I was really concerned about the transition between high school and college, and I knew academics had to be a priority. By November, Munson was practicing with the team, and when the Cats played their first exhibition game Nov. 8, Munson scored four points. I just love basketball, she said. I found I had time to get the things done that I needed, and I decided to try playing basketball again. Munson became a regular contributor off the bench, serving mainly as a defensive specialist. What Munson ' s career held was still uncertain, but Running ' s days in a Cat uniform produced memories that would last forever. I look back at some of the games, and it ' s pretty special what we ' ve been able to do, he said. I ' ve always said I ' ve had a storybook career. And to score a touchdown on my last catch it ' s just unbelievable.

(Photo by Cary Conover) The men ' s basketball team was never given a chance in the preseason polls. In fact, they were expected to finish seventh in the Big 8 Conference. Opening the season Nov. 25 with a 75-72 overtime win against Bradley, the Wildcats went on to start the season with a 3-0 record beating Emporia State and Marshall. But when the Cats went on the road, trouble hit as they lost at Illinois and Washington. However, during semester break, the team went 9-2, losing only to Michigan State and Oklahoma. In front of an ESPN audience Jan. 6, the Cats clobbered the Iowa State Cyclones 72-55 in Man- hattan to open the Big 8 Conference season. But the Cats dropped a hard-fought battle with Oklahoma 64-59 Jan. 9, despite holding all-confer- ence performer Ryan Minor to just 1 1 points. They just played harder than we did. They wanted it, senior forward Tyrone Davis said of the Sooners. We just need to hit our shots. Coach Tom Asbury said the Cats ' failure came in the second half. In the first half, we played as well as we ' ve played all year, he said. In any Big 8 Conference game, we should come out to play, and we did. After winter break, game attendance picked up, but the Cats ' record did not. They won only four of their last 10 games in conference play. Even playing at home was not a sure bet for the Cats. They lost a disappointing home game Feb. 7 to I think our whole team wanted this. We have that feeling (that we could go to the NCAA Colorado, 63-64 in overtime. Senior point guard Elliot Hatcher made two free throws to take the lead 53-52 with only 1 :26 left to play in regulation, but a missed jump shot by sophomore guard Aaron Swartzendruber put the game into overtime. We were just run- ning our motion of- fense, and I got the ball and thought I had a pretty good look, so I took it, Swartzen- druber said. The shot felt good, and I thought it was in when it left my hand, but I left it just a little bit long. Overtime was just as close as regulation play. The Cats opened with a four-point lead, but the Buffaloes came back to tie the game 63-63 with only 34 seconds remain- ing. Colorado made one late free throw enough to hand the Cats a loss. With no time to dwell on the defeat, the team traveled to Stillwater, Okla., to take on the Okla- homa State Cowboys. The Cats had beat the Pokes 62-59 at home earlier in the season, and coming off their second-consecutive loss, the Cats wanted to leave Oklahoma with a win. (continued on page 283) Tournament).

The Cats defeated the Tigers at home Feb. 21. (Photo by Steve Hebert) (continued from page 28 1) But the Pokes had other plans. The Cats trailed by as many as 25 in the second half before OSU pulled out a 83-60 victory. The only bright spot for the Cats was senior guard Brian Gavin ' s season-high 12 points. It was the third game the Cats had played in less than a week, but Asbury said he tried not to let that be an excuse. I don ' t know (if we looked tired). We had nothing to be tired about, Asbury said. We cer- tainly looked tired in terms of our performance, but I ' m not certain that we were tired. With 1 1 days off until their next game, the Cats rested up and came out ready to play against Missouri Feb. 21. With a 69-64 victory over the Tigers, the Cats snapped a six-game losing streak to Missouri. Swartzendruber scored a career-high 24 points off the bench and his 14 first-half points helped the Cats to a 39-36 halftone lead. Asbury said the Cats ' defense was the key to the win. I thought we tightened up our defense. We ran them down to the end of the shot clock, he said. I thought we started to do a better job on (Julian) Winfield. He was really hurting us in that stretch prior to that. Next up for the Cats was a meeting of intrastate rivals. Despite coming offthe victory over the Tigers, the Cats couldn ' t pull it together to beat the No. 5 Kansas Jayhawks. With six minutes left in the game, the Cats pulled within three points after a basket by freshman Ayome May, who scored a career-high 20 points in the game. The effort was not enough as the Jayhawks won the game, 66-77. With only two games left in regular-season play the focus turned to post-season play. The Cats traveled to Ames, Iowa, Feb. 28 where they had not won since 1990. Freshman forward Shawn Rhodes tied the game 78-78 with 1:40 remaining and Davis made two free throws to put K- State up by two. But the Cyclones answered, and the Cats couldn ' t get a last-second shot to drop, sending the game to overtime. The Cats controlled overtime and won 92-87. The game ' s heroes were Swartzendruber and Hatcher, who each had 22 points, and Rhodes, who finished with 18. I think our whole team wanted this, Swartzendruber said. We have that feeling (that we could go to the NCAA Tournament). It would be nice to get a win at Nebraska. Trying to keep the magic going, the Cats trav- eled to Lincoln, Neb., to take on the Cornhuskers, but Nebraska broke its eight-game losing streak in a 70-66 win over the Cats. Hopes for an NCAA Tournament bid rested on the Cats ' approaching performance in the Big 8 Tournament, as they finished the regular season 16-10, 7-7 in conference play and tied for fourth with Oklahoma State. Some of the guys who normally shoot good, including me, just weren ' t, Rhodes said. It was just one of those nights, I guess. The season did not end there for the Cats. The Big 8 Tournament gave K-State renewed hope as Davis sank a pair of free throws with 9.6 seconds left to lift the Cats past Oklahoma State, 58-55, in the quarterfinals of the Big 8 tournament March 8 before falling to Kansas, 61-55, the next day in the semifi- nals. The Cats ' performance was good enough to earn them a birth in the NCAA Tournament, the first such trip since 1993. A No. 10 seed, K-State would face New Mexico in the first round. I ' m just glad we ' re in, Asbury said. They ' re certainly a quality opponent and a well-coached program.

Senior Karina Kuregian garnered K-State ' s first All-Big 8 selection in two This is Karina ' s best win, and I think she could have played better. But to beat the No. 5 player in the nation is significant. COACH STEVE BIETAU years by going 28-6 in singles and 1 9-2 in doubles during the spring. At the Big 8 post- season tournament April 21-23, Kuregian, and senior partner Martine Shrubsole won the doubles tide, and Kuregian finished second in the singles division. In the fall, there was no team play with all of the action being played on an individual and doubles-team basis. After hosting their own tournament to start the season, the Wildcats traveled to Baltimore, Salt Lake City, Topeka and Pacific Palisades, Calif. From the start, Kuregian, who Coach Steve Bietau called the best player on the team maybe in the conference struggled and often had to fight her way through the consolation bracket. In the season opener, the Travelers Express Invitational in Manhattan Sept. 22-23, Kuregian won her first match, but then lost to eventual champion Mary Beth Maggert of Purdue in the second round. I thought Karina played recklessly, Bietau said. She wasn ' t playing with any regard for what she was doing out there. Kuregian lost in the first round of the National Clay Court Championship in Baltimore Sept. 28-Oct. 1 and didn ' t enter the Big 8 Coaches Indoors in Topeka Oct. 6-8. But at the Rivera All-American Championship in Pacific Palisades, Calif., Oct. 19-22, Kuregian opened the tournament by upsetting No. 5 Margie Lepsi of Tennessee in two sets. It was the highest-ranked player Kuregian, who was ranked No. 14 at the time, had ever defeated. This is a great win, Bietau said. This is Karina ' s best win, and I think she could have played better. But to beat the No. 5-ranked player in the nation is significant. She ' s had a difficult time this fall, and she ' s struggled to find confidence. This will certainly go a long way in helping that, and it ' s a good step to take prior to regionals. At the Rolex Regional Championship in Salt Lake City Nov. 8-11, Kuregian recorded two wins in the consolation round. While Kuregian was getting most of the attention, sophomores Yana Dorodnova and Lena Piliptchak created their own highlights.

Dorodnova had a great tournament, Bietau said. Probably the best thing was the way she fought. The overall impression that everyone had was that this was a very strong tournament, and making the finals is a pretty good accomplishment. Dorodnova was the only consistent singles player to finish with a winning record at 8-5. Kuregian was 5- 8, junior Karen Nicholson 4-4, sophomore Dinah Watson 6-6 and junior Nicole Lagerstrom 4-5. Freshman Yasmine Osborne played just seven singles matches in the fall, but her come-from-behind victory over Purdue ' s Dena Degyansky in the Traveler ' s Express Invitational provided an early glimpse of what the Cats were capable of doing. After splitting the first two sets, Osborne fell behind 5-2 in the third before rallying to win 7-5. I started paying attention to what I was doing out there and I kept batting balls into play, Osborne said. The other European newcomer, Piliptchak, a native of Kiev, Ukraine, went 5-5 in singles, and teamed with three different partners to win seven doubles matches. The 1996 spring season began on familiar territory for the Cats. With team scoring once again on the boards, the team ' s first spring tournament produced few highlights, as the Cats fell Jan. 26 to Northwestern in Topeka. They rebounded Feb. 3 with a 7-0 victory over Creighton in Manhattan. Dorodnova, having taken over the No. 1 singles spot, cruised to a 6-0, 6-0 rout of Creighton ' s Traci Miller. I just wanted to control the points, put some pressure on her and not let her dictate any of the game, Dorodnova said. As newcomers to the team, Dorodnova and Piliptchak had to make the transition from European to American tennis surfaces. Both of them are playing a little bit of the clay- court tennis on the hard court, and they haven ' t fully adjusted their game to the hard courts, but that doesn ' t happen overnight, Bietau said. They both fought pretty hard and have a new appreciation for the level of play in college tennis.

We didn ' t win any, and there weren ' t really any highlights. TROY HALTERMAN GOLFER The men ' s golf team had momentum and experience going into the fall season, but neither was enough to overcome the obstacles that stood between them and their potential. The Wildcats ' highest finish in the fall was sixth at the University of Texas- Arlington Nov. 12-14. The momentum came from a solid performance in the ' 95 spring season. Returning to the course after a three-month break, the team won its first tournament of the spring season at Southwest Texas State. From there, the Cats went on to place fifth in the Big 8 Conference, their best finish in two decades. We were real excited, especially about the Big 8 because that hadn ' t been done in 20 years, senior Jason Loschsaid. Itwassomethingwewere proud of something that hadn ' t been accomplished for a while and should ' ve carried over into the summer and fall seasons. But we kind of left it behind. The experience came from a roster dominated by upperclassmen. Coach Mark Elliott said maturity was one of the team ' s strengths. Last spring, we had four juniors and a sophomore. Now we have four seniors and a junior, so now we have experience to our advantage, he said. They ' re a good group of kids. They go about things the right way. Elliott said age could also hinder a player ' s performance. By the time a player ' s senior year comes around he may have put golf on the back burner. Some seniors have a hard time in the spring semester, he said. They may not play as well as they can because they ' re almost done with school and are ready to go on to other things. By their senior year, it ' s easy to lose interest. If they ' re really good, they may have the confidence in their game to go on and do something with golf. If not, it makes it more difficult for them. Senior Troy Halterman said he witnessed senior burnout during the two years he played at Oklahoma State and even during his first year at K-State. The senior year is the hardest, Halterman said. The athletes who usually do well do great in their junior year and then kind of drop offin their senior year. I think they put too much pressure on themselves. They want to make sure they have a really good last year. But neither experience nor momentum could make the fall season what it might have been. Halterman, who tied for 12th at both Stephen F. Austin-Crown Colony Intercollegiate Golf Tournament Feb. 23-24 and University of Texas- Arlington ' s tournament, was usually the Cats ' top finisher. We finished average in our tournaments in the fall, he said. We didn ' t win any, and there weren ' t really any highlights. We usually finished in the middle or upper half.

It should give them stability having a women ' s head coach, KRISTI KNIGHT WOMEN ' S GOLF COACH The women ' s golf team finally found a coach who was hereto stay and anxious to improve players ' skills. Kristi Knight, who took over the position of head coach in July, said she hoped having a full- time coach would give the players stability. I think it was hard on them because they didn ' t know the type of person they ' d be getting and the expectations they ' d have on them year after year, Knight said. It affected their ability to set goals and improve. Senior Debbie Chrystal said Knight was the seventh coach she had worked with in her five years of playing golf at K-State. She said having a full-time coach could only help the program. They found an awesome person in Kristi, and I think she ' s here to stay awhile, Chrystal said. It ' shardwhen you change coaches so often. You work hard for a year and then you get handed over to someone eke. Pulling together to overcome the coaching obstacle, senior Trisha Hoover said team members had always stood by each other. We always stick together because we ' re in it together, she said. The key to any team is to learn to work as a team before you can win. With a diverse team loaded with underclassmen, Chrystal said players were able to gain different perspectives from each other. It helps because you get two sides of the fence, she said. The younger people are motivated and excited about playing. For the older people, they push us and motivate us to work hard. Although this was her first time in a coaching position, Knight said playing golf at Oklahoma had prepared her for the job. I try always to be fair and honest and let the players know where they stand, she said. I know I can ' t make everybody happy. You ' ve got to do whatever ' s best at the time and for the team. My main objective is to be open with them. Starting the year on a good note, Knight said the team tied their lowest team total of 968 at Iowa Sept. 15-17, but still only ranked fifth out of five teams. The team struggled at the last two tournaments of the fall season, finishing last in a 14-team field at the Sunflower Invitational Oct. 15-17 in Wichita and llth-out-of-12 at the Lamar Lady Cardinal Invitational Oct. 29-31 in Beaumont, Texas. The main obstacles Knight hoped to overcome were the large team totals in rounds and the number of double bogies. Knight said players also needed to work on their confidence and not allow shaky starts to get them down. We need to work more on their belief in themselves, she said. That goes back to the past coaching situation. It should give them stability having a women ' s head coach. Hernandez watches her ball after driving it out of a sand trap during practice. The team practiced under Coach Kristi Knight, the team ' s first full- time coach. Golfers said having a full-time coach helped them because there was less turn- around in their leader- ship.

CLIFF ROVELTO COACH The men ' s and women ' s track teams gained experience and confidence during the indoor season, competing in several meets in preparation for the NCAA Championships. Returning athletes gave the team an experienced and talented roster. One returner, sophomore Ashlie Kinton, placed first in the women ' s 3,000-meter race at the KSU Invitational Feb. 3. It ' s the first time I ' ve run it, so I wasn ' t real sure what I really wanted to do, Kinton said. I just went out and I felt really relaxed. She said the season went quickly, especially once the team members began improving their skills. My times have come down some and all my hard work is paying off, she said. I really want to concentrate on the mile and bring my time down. The women ' s team soundly beat out Oklahoma State for a first-place finish in the invitational, while the men fell short of a first- place finish and came in second behind Southwest Missouri State. Overall, the coaches said they were happy with the invitational ' s results. From the races I ' ve seen, I think we ' ve done really well, Coach Terry Drake said. Scott Galas had a great race in the 800 and a big PR (personal record) for him and the girls in the 1 ,000 ran three of the fastest times in the Big 8. The Cats challenged themselves several times throughout the season, facing top runners at meets like the Husker Invitational Feb. 9-10 in Lincoln, Neb. Sophomore Vannita Kinard placed fourth in the women ' s triple jump with a distance of 42 feet, 7 inches. This was the team ' s only automatic qualifying mark for the meet, although four team members claimed NCAA provisional qualifying marks including freshman Renetta Seiler and senior Kirsten Schultz. Both qualified in the women ' s 20-pound weight throw. The men ' s and women ' s distance medley teams placed third at the Husker Invitational. The men ' s distance medley team had a time of 10:03.04 and the women finished in 11:51.35.

This meet was not as intense as the Husker Invitational because many teams were preparing for conference meets. Basically, we just want to do things to sharpen up for (the Big 8 meet), CliffRovelto, head track coach, said. K-State alumni also ran in the Coors Invitational, including Nicole Green who won the women ' s 400-meter race with a time of 54:07. Steve Fritz, former K-State decathlete and Olympic-hopeful, also qualified for the national indoor championships. Seven men picked up first-place finishes at the meet, includingjunior JeffMartin in the 400- meter run; junior Ryan Johnson in the 800-meter run; junior Ken Dennard in the 55-meter hurdles; senior Ryan Clive-Smith in the 3,000-meter run; senior Itai Margalit in the high jump; sophomore Marshall Grayson in the long jump; and senior Brian Eilerts in the weight throw. The women who finished first at the Coors Invitational included sophomore Jill Francis in the 400-meter run; senior Irma Betancourt in the 600-meter run; junior Samantha McNamara in the 1 ,600-meter run; and freshman Renetta Seiler in the shot put. After strong performances at the Coors Invitational, Rovelto was positive about the Big 8 Championships. I think we ' re getting there. Our women ' s team is pretty strong, Rovelto said after the invitational. We ' ve got people in every area. There ' s no real glaring weaknesses. At the Big 8 Championships March 8-9 in Indianapolis, both the men ' s and women ' s teams ended the indoor season with strong finishes. The women ' s team placed third behind Nebraska and Colorado. Nebraska had 1 97 points, Colorado finished with 153, and K-State had 97, placing the Cats ahead of Kansas.

They have better things to do than worry about getting tapes in the mail. BRADNEWITT SENIOR IN SECONDARY EDUCATION FOR MOST, the world of sports existed on the court or the playing field. If the game extended beyond those simple boundaries, it reached only to the coaches and the fans in the stands. Hardly noticed by the casual observer were the men and women who sat on the far end of the bench, the student managers and trainers with the water bottles and the marker boards people whose presence helped everything come together. It ' s literally essential for us, volleyball Coach Jim Moore said. Without a full-time secretary all of the other things we want to do in the office they make us able to exist. What was it managers did to make such a difference? Everything from laundry to secretarial things to doing stats to helping set up for practice, Moore said. I do their laundry, Alicia Kendall, manager for the women ' s basketball team and sophomore in pre-veterinary medicine, said. And during practice I run the clocks. Kendall walked on the team as a freshman, playing on the practice squad but never getting into a game. She chose to be a manager when playing was no longer an option. It started out last year when I played, Kendall said. When Coach (Brian) Agler said I probably wouldn ' t get any playing time this year, he offered to let me stay on as a manager. Kendall said the position allowed her to stay close to the friends she made practicing with the team. I stayed mainlyjust to be around the game and the team, she said. I made some friends last year, and I wanted to be able to stay close to things. For others, like Brad Newitt, who coordinated the men ' s basketball team ' s videotape operations by taping games and obtaining game tape from opponents, managing was a step toward a higher goal coaching. I want to be a high school coach, Newitt, senior in secondary education, said. This allows me to learn about the game by being at the practices. Barb Stucky, volunteer assistant with the volleyball team and senior in secondary education, said the time with the team could be invaluable for a future coach. I ' m going into coaching, and since high school I haven ' t really had a chance to work with an organized team, Stucky said. This is a good opportunity to work with a team. Attending practice helped managers learn about several aspects of coaching. They can pick up d rills that they like, learn techniques for skill development, see various offenses and defenses in practice and see how coaches deal with players, Moore said. Then they can choose what they find most appropriate and effective. Newitt said working with the team would greatly enhance his chances of landing a coaching job. Getting to spend the time with the team, not only do you learn more about the way the game operates and the best ways to run a team, you also get the chance to work with some great coaches, he said. When it comes time to apply for a coaching job, that name on the resume and that letter of reference can go a long way. Whether it was laundry or videotape or filling water bottles, the work of the managers came down to one thing freeing up the time of the coaching staff. We ' re just there to make life easier for the coaches let them worry about the important things while we do the little things, Newitt said. They have better things to do than worry about getting tapes in the mail. Moore agreed, adding his appreciation for the contributions students make to his program. Our job is to coach, he said. So it ' s great to have someone to help with the other things. Players, coaches and managers made up a single unit with a single goal a winning program. We ' re part of the team who just aren ' t on the court, Kendall said. 296 Managers SMS Brad Reams, head manager of the women ' s basketball team and senior in history, carries off the women ' s uniforms after their loss to KU at the Big 8 Tournament in Salina March 2- 4. Managers performed different functions for the teams, including keeping stats, videotaping the games, filling water bottles and doing the laundry. Managers were required to attend all games and practices, and help out wherever they were needed.

Senior Nicole Green led the Wildcats, mirroring her 1994 performance by claiming both the 200- and 400-meter dash crowns. Green broke her own school record in the 400 with a time of 51.93 seconds. I can ' t imagine anyone more valuable to their team in this meet than Nicole, Coach Cliff Rovelto said. She turns in two national-qualifying performances to win both the 200 and 400. Right behind Green in the 200 and 400 was senior Belinda Hope. In the 200, Hope finished I can ' t imagine anyone more valuable to their team in this meet than Nicole (Green). COACH CLIFF ROVELTO second with a time of 23.86. In the 400, she finished with a personal record of 52.37. Also winning a Big 8 title was senior high jumper Gwen Wentland. Despite rainy conditions, Wentland claimed her second outdoor and third career conference crown, clearing 5-feet 11-1 4 inches. Five Cats Green, Hope, Wentland, senior Kristen Schultz (javelin) andjuniorKarissa Owens (lOOmeters) qualified for the NCAA Championships in Knoxville, Tenn. At the May 31 -June 3 meet, Owens placed fifth in her 100-meter dash preliminary, but her time of 11.75 was not fast enough to advance her to the semifinals. Karissa didn ' t get the start that she usually does, and even though she finished well, it cost her the race, Rovelto said. Hope placed third in her 400-meter preliminary heat with a time of 53.28, but did not advance. Green won that semifinal heat with a time of 52.53. Taking that confidence into the final, she raced to a first place finish of 52.01. Top honors for K-State went to Wentland, who placed second in the high jump. Yet after leading the field the entire season, she said the runner-up finish was hard to take. I have to say I was a little bit disappointed, Wentland said. I had a really good year and up until the NCAA meet I really thought I could win it. But I injured myself in the meet, and it was hard to have come that far and not win. In spite of some impressive individual marks, the men ' s team did not achieve the same success at the Big 8 Championships. The Cats ' 78 points were good for a fifth-place finish.

At the Big 8 meet, Broxterman placed second in the high jump behind fellow Cat senior Itai Margalit. Though neither ' s mark was enough to qualify for the NCAA Championships, Broxterman had passed a qualifying height earlier in the season. Turner was the only other Cat to claim a Big 8 tide, setting a school record with his 232 7 javelin toss. Livingston and Fields both finished second in their events, with Livingston running for a personal best of 13.88 in the 110-meter hurdles. Despite the team ' s fifth-place finish, Rovelto said he was pleased with the men ' s performance. The men really performed well. We couldn ' t have asked for more from them, he said. With all the people missing due to injuries, I never dreamed we ' d finish as high as fifth. At the NCAA Championships, Broxterman highlighted the events for K-State, battling Arkansas ' Ray Doakes for the high jump tide. After they both cleared 7 ' 4-1 2 , the bar was moved to 7 ' 5-3 4 . Both competitors failed to clear their next three tries, giving Doakes the win on misses. He had a very good final attempt at 7 ' 5-3 4 , as the bar got higher, he just got better, Rovelto said. After personal letdowns at earlier competitions, Broxterman was glad to finally come up with a good performance in a big meet. I feel that I finally got the monkey off my back, Broxterman said.

After that, every time I would lose a competition, it made me want to improve. (Photo by Darren Whitley) 302 -Betancourt- in the spotlight imK ETANCOURT What began as friendly competition among sisters grew into a learning experience and a shot at Olympic glory. 4 NS 1 She started out competing against sisters. Irma Betancourt, senior in fi- nance and varsity cross country and track runner, grew up with four sisters, all runners like herself. When Betancourt was 10, her older sister Norma was discovered by a coach at a small competition. The next day, the four sisters began training with him. After that, we felt like it was a necessity, like our bodies couldn ' t go without it, Betancourt, a Mexico na- tive, said. When you don ' t run, you feel nervous or you feel angry. You know that if you run, you are going to feel better. Once Betancourt discovered her love for running, she started competing. She became a three-time Mexican na- tional champion in the 800-meter and 1 ,500-meter races. Betancourt started thinking about competing in the Olympics when she was 19 and began training seriously, hoping to run for Mexico in the 1992 Olympics. I thought I could make it because it wasn ' t that far away, she said. I had to run a 2:03 in the 800 and I had a 2:05. I quit school and started getting ready for the Olympic games, but I couldn ' t make it because before the trials 1 got hurt and couldn ' t run anymore, Betancourt said. She decided to return to school and eventually, she began training again. However, Betancourt decided training and attending college in Mexico was too difficult because the club where she trained was two hours from her house. At first, her father was reluctant to let her come to the United States, Betancourt said, but he eventually real- by ashley schmidt ized the need for his daughter to attend an American school. He knew that I had to get away because I was not going to do anything in Mexico, Betancourt said. All the good athletes there in Mexico had to quit school and just focus on their run- ning. For Betancourt, the decision to at- tend K-State was an easy one. Not only was she extended an athletic scholar- ship, but she was also given the chance to learn English through the University ' s English Language Pro- gram, an opportunity she had not had in Mexico. Her junior year, she placed fifth on the 800-meter all-time indoor honor roll and as a senior, Betancourt made it to the national cross country meet where she finished 1 12th. Disappointed with her finish, Betancourt said it was hard to compete without her teammates there. I know that when I run with the team, I can run faster because I know I have to run faster for them, she said. This time it was weird because I was by myself. Coach Terry Drake said he felt Betancourt ' s drive and determination set an example for other team members. They saw her progress and said ' We can make the same progress, ' Drake said. That will be a big part of the team for the next few years. As she left her mark on the other runners, Betancourt began to think again ofher dream to someday represent Mexico in the Olympics. Right now, I have school and I have my running also, but I have many things going on here, she said I think about it and I ' m going to try very hard, but I know it is going to be harder. -Betancourt- 303 I he football team runs a warm-up pattern drill before the game against Oklahoma Nov. 4.

No Memorial Stadium full of soccer players. No Ahearn Field House surrounded by campers hoping to get that prime basketball ticket. No Nichols Theatre originally Nichols Gymnasium. More importantly, some faces would be noticeably absent from campus. Faces that might have stayed in their home states. Faces that needed a scholarship athletics could provide. Faces that wanted a different academic program. If it wasn ' t for sports I wouldn ' t be at K-State now, said Jacque Derstein, middle-distance runner and freshman in biological and agricultural engineering. Derstein said he couldn ' t have afforded tuition without a partial scholarship from the track program. I would be at Butler County Community College. Others said they might not have even known about K-State had it not been for their involvement in sports. I didn ' t know much about K-State until my recruiting trip, Chris Schulte, tennis team member and sophomore in elementary education, said. Most of my family went to KU. Once they arrived at K-State, athletes began to realize the benefits of participating in sports everything from meeting new people to building character -- benefits they might not have been able to find elsewhere. (Participating in sports) helps with a lot of things in life toughens you, Shawn Rhodes, men ' s basketball team member and freshman in arts and sciences, said. Sometimes you get emotionally tired, but you have to fight through it. Having gone through that will help in life. Sports taught Schulte lessons that reach far beyond the court. With our team, we have a lot of foreign players, so it ' s really broadened my horizons, she said. Would there be any benefits to not having sports? Derstein said without sports she would have time to develop her musical interests. I would continue my piano and flute, she said. At K-State I don ' t have the time. Schulte said the time sports required forced her to manage her time better. I think sports bring a sort of structure to my life, she said. It definitely fills my time, and I like being busy I like having things to do. It helps with planning. You really have to set aside times for specific things because your time is so limited. And in that way, I think it even helps me with my classes. In spite of all of the time and energy they required, most athletes agreed sports were a valuable and enjoyable way to spend time something they would not want to do without. I obviously enjoy it if I ' m still doing it today or I ' d have quit a long time ago, Thorpe said. It gives me an excuse to stay active, to keep in shape.

Product licensing and marketing, entertainment and shopping brought in approximately $4 million a year to Manhattan, according to John Fairman, assistant vice president for institutional advancement, and Becky Blake, director of Manhattan Convention and Visitors Bureau. When I first got here (in 1987), we made about $7,000 a year, Fairman said. And the marketplace had put no real demands on us. So the products were mediocre at best. A dramatic increase in revenue was due to strong marketing and the introduction of a solid football program, Fairman said. Then came a new football coach and a new logo, he said. By then, we were in place with a solid program. Strong wins in regular season play and the 1993 Copper Bowl victory led to marketing interest from national companies. We still couldn ' t get in to the national companies like Starter, Fairman said. But when the wins started increasing, interest increased. It culminated with the Copper Bowl victory, he said. At that point, all of the major companies were becoming interested. In 1995, K-State was the 10th fastest- growing school in the nation in terms of marketing dollars, bringing in $241,268 in licensing fees. The money from marketing and licensing fees went directly to the University ' s general academic scholarship fund. Our program requires a 7-1 2 percent fee on the wholesale value, Fairman said. At some schools, the money goes to the bookstore, some to the president ' s office. We are one of about 30 that have it all go to scholarships. Besides benefiting the University, athletic events brought in around $500,000 per game to Manhattan businesses, Blake said. Shannon Maddux, marketing and advertising director for Manhattan Town Center, said the mall experienced a minimum 35-percent sales increase on game days. I don ' t have a dollar amount because we don ' t do a daily sales type of evaluation, Maddux said. But 35 percent is an average because some of our stores obviously are not the type of stores that are going to see an increase, but others, such as Sports Page, are going to see a huge increase. Aggieville merchants sponsored athletic events and reaped the benefits of game days, Cheryl Sieben, director of the Aggieville Business Association, said. I ' d say the majority of the merchants really benefit greatly on game days, Sieben said. You have a lot of out-of-town visitors before and after the games. The stores and restaurants are busy with out-of-towners and even local fans. In a world without sports, Aggieville businesses would generate much less revenue. Not having sports would definitely make a big impact on Aggieville, Sieben said. If we didn ' t have sports, the businesses would see a major change in their business. But I don ' t think it would put anybody out of business. Maddux said the Town Center would lose some customers if sports didn ' t exist, but the businesses would not suffer much. Sports revenue is not the only thing that makes or breaks the businesses, but it sure is one of the stronger draws, he said. But without the games we would not be bringing in the large amount of people.

Hartman was K-State ' s men ' s basketball coach from 1970-86. He then became a color commentator for K-State basketball. I ' ve never been gainfully employed, Hartman said. My whole life has been wrapped up in sports. Even after I was done coaching they put me behind a microphone, although that ' s more a hobby than anything else, Hartman said. (Photo by Shane Keyser) 999 NO SPORTS TEAMWORK TEACHES ONE COACH LIFE ' S LESSONS BY DAN LEWERENZ Sports played at least a small part in most people ' s lives. However, few had an intimate relationship with sports like former men ' s basketball coach Jack Hartman. A quarterback and point guard for Okla- homa A M (now Oklahoma State) in the 1950s, Hartman played basketball for leg- endary coach Henry Iba before embarking on his own coaching career. I ' ve never been gainfully employed, Hartman said. My whole life has been wrapped up in spo rts. Even after I was done coaching they put me behind a microphone, although that ' s more a hobby than anything else. Hartman racked up a 1 50-46 record in seven years at Coffeyville Community Col- lege, including the last undefeated season in community college history. He coached Southern Illinois University to a 144-64 record over a seven-year period before go- ing 295- 1 69 in 1 6 years to become K-State ' s all-rime winningest coach. Hartman, who coached the Wildcats from 1970-86 and served as the women ' s basketball interim coach in ' 96, said al- though it was the wins he remembered the most, the losses taught him and his players most about life. You learn a lot from losing, he said. Life isn ' t just a bed of roses. It ' s full of struggles and disappointments. Until you learn to live with those and more impor- tantly, learn to learn from them you ' re going to stay disappointed. Sports can help you through that. You learn the most when you play a really good opponent, someone good enough to show you what you should be doing. And sports were more than just winning STRUGGLE DISAPPO UNTIL, TO THO and losing. The ideas of competition and cooperation were intrinsically linked to the sporting world. There is an element of cooperation in sports that doesn ' t always show up in the record books, but without it you get nowhere, Hartman said. A player can ' t score 30 points without someone to give him the ball and ifhe and his team aren ' t playing defense, it won ' t matter anyway. A quarterback can ' t throw a touchdown pass without having a receiver to catch it and some linemen to make sure he doesn ' t get sacked. Who should get more credit, the receiver who catches the ball or the two others who draw off the de- fense? Everything you do, it ' s all part of a team effort, and the athlete who doesn ' t realize that or the busi- nessman or the journalist or what-have-you isn ' t go- ing to be very successful. So what would Hartman ' s world, both personally and the world around him, have been like without sports? That ' s a very depressing question, he said. First, I would have to find a job and earn an honest living. But more impor- tantly, a major part of our lives would be missing. There are a lot oflessons in life, and sports are a fun way to learn those lessons. Without sports, we ' d have a pretty dull, bleak world.

LEARN ITH YOU ' RE GOING TO STAY NTED. -JACK HARTMAN FORMER MEN ' S BASKETBALL COACH -What if There Were No Sports?- 309 NO SPORTS MEDIA IMAGE PLACES SCHOOL IN THE LIMEL IGHT BY DAN LEWERENZ I THINK YOU NEED TO AsbCTS O AND SPORTS; AN OUTLET THOSE T DEGRE ' ALL Sports had a far-reaching effect on society and maybe no better ex- ample existed than K-State. From rallying around the football team to the pick- up games of volleyball to the NCAA Tour- nament pools, it was hard for students to imagine the University without sports. Students said varsity sports provided a channel through which the rest of the world viewed the University. A lot of people hear about K-State through see- ing our games on TV or our scores in the papers, Erik Pollom, sophomore in soci- ology, said. I don ' t know how many of those people end up coming to K-State, but there have to be some. And they probably wouldn ' t be here otherwise. The absence of sports could cause other changes in the University as well. The number of stu- dents would drop, and with that would come cuts, Mark Wendt, senior in secondary educa- tion, said. I can see instructors having to be laid off because of declining enrollment if we suddenly got rid of sports. President Jon Wefald said while K-State was the university of choice for Kansas high school students in the 1990s, that was not always the case and sports might have been a key reason for the change. When I got here, we were not the school of choice in Kansas, he said. It wasn ' t until 1988 or ' 89 that we earned that distinction, about the time we hired (football coach) Bill Snyder and made the ' Elite Eight ' of the NCAA basketball tournament. Both OTHER. -MARK WENDT, ENIORIN DUCATION inside and outside the state, it ' s definitely a plus. Once a student had chosen to attend a school, sports provided benefits. Some, like opportunities for exercise and socialization, were obvious. I don ' t think a student can be very well- balanced without something along those lines, Wendt said. We need time for work and we need time for play. I think you need to be fit in all aspects of life the physical, the mental, the spiritual and the emotional and sports give an outlet for all of those to some degree or other. Some benefits, like capital improve- ments on campus, were not so obvious. Most people may not look this far from the immediate subject, but you can probably even tie a lot of campus improvements to alumni pride. From library expansion to the art museum, these things seem to coincide time-wise with the success of our football team, Wendt said. Wefald said sports were a must at a university the size of K-State. The pursuit of academic excellence has to be No. 1, No. 2, No. 3, No. 4 and No. 5 in terms of importance. That ' s why we ' re here, he said. But if you ' re a member of the Big 8 or Big 12 Conference, you have to be competitive in athletics, too. Without sports, Wendt said K-Staters would have fewer things in common to look back on. When you look at 9,000 to 10,000 students at every football game or the num- ber of people who play intramurals, I think it would be hard to have a unity of student experience without sports, he said. In Wefald ' s eyes, it all came down to one thing. People love a winner, he said. A row of photogra- phers casts a shadow on the field during the football game against Kansas. The media worked with the sports program to portray K- State ' s image among its fans.

It ' s not just living with 60 other women, it ' s interacting, Janell Coe, house president and senior in agricultural journalism, said. Clovia, established in 1931 by seven students in 4- H, was the only scholarship house affiliated with the Kansas 4 -H foundation. We have a full range of majors, Monica Wilson, house vice-president and senior in accounting, said. We aren ' t all agriculture majors like some people might think. But, most members had 4-H or similar backgrounds. The foundation required 90 percent of the house to be past 4-H or similar activity members, Wilson said. They also act like our landlord, taking care of major repairs and holding our lease. As part of the cooperative living, each member was required to complete four or five hours of duties per week, which helped keep expenses down. Doing our own cooking, cleaning and general upkeep of the house relieved the financial burden for many house members, Coe said. The cooking and the baking was done by members. It was a pretty big responsibility (being a cook), Lesley Folkerts, sophomore in arts and sciences, said. You have all the girls counting on you. If you forget that you have to cook, someone would have to fill in for you and that might mess up their schedule. By J.J. Kuntz The house had members who were used to pitching in and lending a hand, Coe said. I think most of the girls enjoyed doing their duties, Coe said. We assigned them to certain duties but the girls could request which duties they would like to do. In the cooperative living environment, each member had a daily set duty. I had two set duties this year. I was the early lunch cook, so I was responsible for getting every thing started, Folkerts said. I was also the late cook after dinner, so I made sure all tables were cleaned and dishes were stacked for the dishwasher. Members were also given rotating duties. Some rotating duties included cleaning bathrooms, sweeping and spending time with the housemother. We assign two girls to escort Mom to dinner during the week, Wilson said. Sometimes we would help her with errands or go with her to a craft show. With members involved in many activities, it was sometimes difficult for them to make time to spend with mom, Folkerts said. Because she has her own apartment she can sometimes get isolated, she said. This duty allows time to get to know her better. Because members relied on each other, they tended to act like a family, Folkerts said. We have to go through the cleaning, fighting and getting on each other ' s nerves, she said. In the end, it brings us all closer together. 3 1 6 -Alpha of Clovia- Alpha of Clovia Minneapolis, lat.

Kristin Boyd, freshman in pre -journalism and mass communications, became the first member of her family to live in the hall named after her great-grandmother Mamie Alexander Boyd. Robert Boyd, Kristin ' s father, said he was excited when Kristin decided to move into the hall named after his grandmother. I was tickled to death that she wanted to live in Boyd, Robert said. Kristen is the first in our family to live in Boyd Hall. Mamie would be really excited if she- were alive today. Although attending K-State was a family tradition, living in Boyd was not. My three sisters went to K-State and all three lived in Ford, Kristin said. My roommate and I talked over the phone before moving in and she didn ' t want to live in Ford, so we decided on Boyd. Kristin ' s sister, Robyn Boyd, never considered living in the hall. The main reason I didn ' t live in Boyd was because my two older sisters lived in Ford, Robyn, junior in architectural engineering, said. I decided to live where they did and never considered Boyd as an option. Kristin said she felt honored to be living there because of the family ties. It ' s really neat for me and an honor because it was named after my great-grandmother, Kristin said. Plus, it made it more special to me. My dad and grandma tell everybody I ' m living in Boyd Hall. Mamie, a 1902 K-State graduate, taught in the College ot Agriculture. She was remembered by colleagues as being devoted to the University and the By Lynn Wuger athletic program, Kristin said. She has always been a loyal K-State supporter, she said. When she was 95, she still went to all the ball games. I remember hearing how she used to bring her knitting to all the football games. On Jan. 14, 1961, the hall was named atter Mamie because of her loyalty to the University, Robert said. Before then, a hall could not be named for someone unless he or she was deceased. Even though I never personally knew her because she died before I was born, I am honored to be her great granddaughter, Kristin said. Unfortunately, I ' m only familiar with her through my family and my own research. Although living in Boyd did not have any drawbacks, Kristin said, having her last name the same as the hall ' s name did not provide financial benefits. When I tell people I live in Boyd Hall, they ask ' And your last name is Boyd? she said. I tell people it was named after my great-grandmother and then they think I get to live there free but I have to payjust like everyone else. Kristin said she chose to live in the hall because of its connection to her family. The fact the hall was a part of my family history definitely had a lot of influence on me, she said. It ' s been an honor being able to live in Boyd. It ' s one of the best decisions I ' ve made.

Residents of the seventh floor decided to provide a Thanksgiving dinner for a needy family, but Sara Splichal, senior in life sciences, did not want to plan the event through normal organizations. What discouraged me is that people don ' t have one-on-one contact with the people they help and that is something I wanted the residents to have, she said. Splichal said most organizations had too much red tape and did not provide the benefits that helping people hands-on did. It gives a very different oudook on people ' s plights, she said. People who can go to college and drive nice cars don ' t get to see the problems of others. To accomplish this hands-on help, Splichal contacted local churches and asked for a list of families who would benefit the most from the help. Once she had names, she asked for volunteers from her floor. Residents were asked to donate money, help purchase the food and deliver it to the family. Floor members donated 50 cents to a dollar and raised $56. Splichal and three other residents from the floor delivered the Thanksgiving meal to a mother and her two children. I was happy to do this because I like to help people and everybody, even the needy, should be thought of at Thanksgiving, Maggie Davis, freshman in nutrition and exercise science, said. She (the mother) was really appreciative and I was glad that I could help. Helping the needy family also made the volunteers appreciative. Seeing how this family lived made me really thankful for everything I have. She didn ' t have much of anything, Sarah Meng, freshman in pre-medicine, said. She was really proud of her children. She showed us her pictures of them. They were not in frames, but she had helD DeODle and 6V6rY- them taped to the walls. Davis said she was happy to help. body CVCD ttl6 needy This kind of help is good because you get to see how your help is being JpOUld be thOUgHt Of 3t I was happy to do this because I like to used, she said. Splichal said she was pleased with the response from the residents. Projects like this bring out the best in people and I appreciate the generosity and thoughtfulness that is so important, she said. It ' s a real tribute to the girls on the floor. She also said she hoped more floors would try similar projects in the future. I hope future staffs will see the rewards of this and continue the tradition, Splichal said. We need to reach out to the community and not just make it a holiday thing. Thanksgiving.

SO 324 -Goodnow Hall- Goodnow Hall window decorations show Goodnow ' s pizza Football season gave Goodnow Hall residents more than somewhere to go on Saturday afternoons it gave them a way to use all their empty pizza boxes. Following a hall housekeeper ' s suggestion, residents supported the football team by decorating their lobby windows. One floor made a Powercat out of Pizza Shuttle boxes and then painted it purple and put it in their lobby window, Jenni Hoopes, sophomore in interior design, said. I did it just because I wanted to. Everyone liked it and then the other floors caught on and it just became a big thing. The idea to decorate the lobby windows came from the second floor housekeeper, Glen Miller. He brought it up, and I said ' Okay, I ' ll do it, ' Hoopes said. His dream was that he wanted a Powercat in everyone ' s window on the front of the building. With the decorations, Miller hoped to spread spirit for the upcoming football game against Kansas. The idea was to have the main lobby windows with, ' Go Cats, Beat the Hawks, ' and then have Powercats on every room window, Miller said. But then the idea changed, which is better. Each floor had their own take on it, which was the original intent in the creative process. By the end of the football season almost every floor had participated in some form of the window paintings. Our idea was just basically to get as many people as possible involved, kind of an ice breaker-type thing, Gardner, jammie Speeck Patbology Audiology Gariaid. Pail . liberal Fl St. Louis.

Given the location, the front facing the big intersection, it seemed like a good idea. The residents were pleased with other students ' reactions to the decorations. I think it has brought a lot of attention to the hall and to the school especially, Cindy Martin, freshman in business administration, said. We were even told that Pat Bosco, dean of student life, felt that it was good spirit for the school and for Goodnow Hall. The residents started a tradition that provided an opportunity for everyone to get involved, Hoopes said. It has brought a lot of people together that would have just sat in their rooms and have done nothing, she said. I think a lot of people have been corning out and helping to do stufFbecause they were interested and wanted to see what was going on. Miller said that creating an enjoyable living environment for trie residents was the whole purpose. The whole thing comes down to getting the residents to have an investment in the place, to make it a little more than a dorm, he said.

Haymaker Hall residents adopted children and gave out candy in an effort to boost community perception of college students. We participated in the Adopt- an-Angel program with K-Mart, Brad Ratliff, hall governing board president and senior in social science, said. We picked a paper angel off the tree that represents a help in the community kid wh is an orphan or is underprivileged and our hall sponsors them by giving them gifts for the holidays. Each floor adopted two children in the program. We tried to think of more community things to do and this project really takes it back to the kids, he said. Kids are very important to us because they are the future, so we do all we can to help them out. The angel tree activity showed community members 328 -Haymaker Hall- This activity and others showed that we do care and want to in the community scene first-hand. Gordon Kimble senior in architecture By Scott M. Ladd that college students cared about the community they lived in, Gordon Kimble, senior in architecture, said. Community members often think college kids are selfish, thinking only of themselves and their futures, he- said. This activity and others showed that we do care and want to help in the community scene first-hand. In addition to the Adopt-an-Angel program, Haymaker residents provided a safe Halloween option inviting children to trick-or-treat safely in the hall. We expected around 30 kids, especially when the weather turned bad. What we got was 60 to 100 kids trick-or-treating and we ran out of candy, Ratliff said. Overall, I think the event went really well and a lot of our guys really enjoyed it. The Halloween activity helped Haymaker dissolve community stereotypes regarding college students. I think the Halloween open rooms let parents see how college guys live, David Jayne, junior in civil engineering, said. Parents really enjoyed bringing their children to a safe environment and it showed the children how college guys live. It really showed them that a bunch of guys care more about the community than they thought. -Haymaker Hall Hubbell. Jeremiah Computer Science Hundley. Shine . Business Administration Jenkins.

Computer Science -Dodge Cit 3 -Haymaker Hall- 329 -Haymaker Hall sixth-year seniors d i s cove r I convenience on campus Bv Lvnn W u p e r A By Lynn Wuger It ' s easy living and I hardly have any responsi- bilities except for work and school. Geo Eisele senior in sociology f] heap accommodations and easy living convinced V three students to make a residence hall their home for six years. Geo Eisele, Mike Flory and Jim Harris, all sixth-year seniors, found Haymaker Hall a refreshing, easy-going place to live. It ' s not the greatest thing you want to tell somebody because it does have the undertone of ' You still live in the dorms, ' but it doesn ' t bother me, Eisele, senior in sociology, said. It ' s easy living and I hardly have any responsibilities except for work and school. Besides only having to make one monthly payment, Eisele, Harris and Flory received a guaranteed living rate from the Department of Housing and Dining Services. Housing did give us a break our first year here, Eisele said. They gave us a guarantee not to increase our cost of living. The idea of providing residents with a guaranteed rate was experimental for the university. It was only for the year we moved in, Harris, senior in biology, said. It was an experiment they tried for 1990 and I guess we were lucky to move in when we did. The seniors, none of whom had roommates, moved into remodeled suites in August. The suites were larger rooms with full- or half-bathroom options. Living here is a great benefit considering I pay to have a room to myself while incoming freshman pay to have a room with a roommate, Flory, senior in management, said. I wasn ' t going to live in the dorms again, but it ' s easier and more convenient than living ofF- campus. Living in the suites had several benefits. We ' re basically getting a bathroom for free, Eisele said. Plus we get a ceiling fan and carpet. And about every two weeks, the housekeepers come in and clean the bathrooms for us and sterilize them. Cheaper accommodations were not the only reasons the men remained in Haymaker. Harris and Eisele worked as hall receptionists. Harris also delivered and sorted hall mail. That ' s the main reason I ' m staying here, he said. I have a job right down the hall. Residence halls also provided several cheaper, more convenient items not found off-campus. Housing cooks for us. We don ' t have to do dishes and the housekeepers clean up a lot of things, Eisele said. Plus, we have laundry facilities right here and they ' re cheaper than off-campus. I ' ve heard a lot of guys say it costs them anywhere from a $1 to $1.50 to do one load of laundry. And here it ' s only 75 cents. Eisele said he perfered the residence halls to living off-campus. I ' ve heard stories of landlords, roommates and neighbors, Eisele said. And here, we just don ' t have those problems. Harris said he found off-campus living more of a hassle. He lived off-campus during the summer, but always returned to Haymaker when classes started. When I lived off-campus during the summers, I never had a chance to get to know my neighbors, Harris said. It ' s a lot friendlier here and you always have a chance to knock on someone ' s door and they will be home or leave your door open and someone will come in. The open and friendly atmosphere of Haymaker helped Harris adjust to college life. I like the hall because I consider it the place where I grew up, Harris said. When I came here, I was so naive and gullible. I basically had to force myself to grow up. It ' s made me loyal to Haymaker. Choosing to stay in Haymaker for six years was an easy decision for Eisele, Harris and Flory. I think it takes a certain mind set to want to live in the hall as long as we have, Harris said. Some guys can ' t wait to get out but George, Mike and I are satisfied. We just don ' t want to leave. 330 -Haymaker Hall- Marian Hall Ackermau.

Love and Ferris lived in the newly remodeled suites in Marlatt Hall. The suites included private bathrooms. Kevin Trendel, senior in electrical engineering, studies in his Marlatt suite. Trendal, Ferris and Blake Thomas, sophomore in architectural engineering, lived in a three-person suite which contained a bedroom, living room and bathroom. Taking advantage of the extra space, Marlatt residents were able to fit more stuff into their rooms. Trendal, Ferris and Thomas filled their suite ' s main room with three desks, three bookcases, six chairs, a refrigerator and a beanbag. 350 Besides the new suites, Marlatt had another new addition. Eighty-one women were housed on Mariatt ' s 4th floor at the start of the semester because of lack of space in the female residence halls. (All photos taken by Marlatt residents) LL H OJfflSWW HOME Marian Hall residents returned to their living environment in the fall to find out it had been invaded by 81 female students. I think it was a first, David Yoder, hall director, said. We just ran out of room in the traditional halls for females. Most of the females placed in the previously all-male dorm returned their contracts late, which caused the problem. by ; ' .; ' . kuntz wings, leaving the Marlatt staffto fill in. Between Aug. 25 and the end of September, the females began transferring in small groups to their permanent residence halls. I was so surprised that they moved them so soon, Trendel said. I figured they would have had more problems finding them a new place. Most of the females moved into the first-available residence hall, but some chose to wait and live in their I didn ' t turn my contract in until first-choice hall. the first day the dorms opened, Nichole Stuck, sophomore in journalism and mass communications, said. But they told us before diat we would be in temporary housing. The Marlatt governing board had indicated they would like to remain an all-male dorm but while playing host to female students, they found out they did not mind the women ' s presence. I didn ' t think that it created any problems, Kevin Trendel, senior in electrical engineering, said. It was kind of nice to have some women around. The women, who occupied all three corridors of die fourth floor, did not think the temporary housing situation was and problem, Stuck said. I really didn ' t have any problems, she said. There was a lot of noise sometimes and with no staff (on our floors) there wasn ' t anyone to complain to. Because of the temporary situation, female staff was not hired for die female Marlattseesnewfaces It took me less than a month to get a new housing arrangement, Julie Strickland, sophomore in agricultural journalism, said. Mr. Yoder was really helpful getting me into Boyd. In addition to the change of residents, Marlatt offered students a new living arrangement. Construction that began in June 1 994 was completed in August, offering 23 apartment-style rooms with private bathrooms. It makes for a different atmosphere because diere was no public bathroom. The residents seemed to be behind closed doors, Yoder said. There was much more privacy and not as much interaction. Along widi the new suites came increased prices, ranging from $1,800 to $2,020 for a semester with 20 meals. With your own badiroom, you don ' t have to worry about other people making a mess, Trendel said. I definitely feel that it is worth the extra cost. -Harlatt Hall- 333 Moore Hall Airstrup, Rebecca Hanston Agricultural Journalism SR Amanullah, M Katachi, Pakistan Marketing GR Anderson, Melissa Olathe Elementary Education SO Anderson, Ryan Smolan Fine Arts FR Arb.

John Mechanical Engineering helping those in need Moore Hall gathers spare cents S X R Maria horri Moore Hall ' s ninth floor resident assistant gobbled to proclaim victory in the hall ' s turkey drive. The week before Thanksgiving break, residents collected spare change and canned food to donate to the Flint Hills Breadbasket. The RA of the winning floor was required to go to dinner at Derby Food Center in a turkey costume. I donated about 35 cents, Aletrajohnson, freshman in applied music, said. I wanted Toni to be a turkey. She had to wear a little beak to dinner. After her floor won, Toni Henderson, ninth floor RA and senior in architecture, wore the turkey costume to Derby. She said she was surprised at how many ninth floor residents participated in the turkey drive. It was something they wanted to do and they carried it out, Henderson said. I think one reason is they wanted to show everyone that they could win. Residents raised $164.18 and collected 200 cans in one week. The turkey drive motivated residents to help those in need. By Maria Sherrill Motivation for collecting so much was mostly to help charity, although it was different for different individuals, Elissa Schell, head of the turkey drive committee and freshman in mechanical engineering, said. Tim Juarez, senior in business administration, gave money to help the ninth floor win. I made an effort and donated some change, Juarez said. I ' d rather see the other floors lose. The floor also wanted to win the turkey drive for the charity. I thought it was a great idea to raise money for charity, Gayle Goudy, ninth floor president and sophomore in fine arts, said. I went door-to-door and I had people empty out their drawers full of pennies. Fifth floor was the runner-up and second floor placed third in the turkey drive. Competition between the floors was intense. Second floor wins everything, Anna Tischer, ninth floor resident and sophomore in business administration, said. I think we basically just wanted to show them up. 334 -Moore Hall- Moore Hall Gates, Julie . .ill mi Kinesiology Jl Colwell, Paul Chapman Secondary Education SR Cowell.

Shawn Klingele, senior in civil engineering, hangs out by the Putnam Hall front desk. Shawn said because so many Klingeles had lived in Putnam, people often said the name should be changed to Klingele Hall. Going out for dinner, Paul Klingele, senior in computer engineering, and his cousin Shawn eat pizza in Manhattan Town Center. Jennifer, Paul, Shawn and David pose for a group shot at the Putnam front desk. Putnam had housed Klingeies beginning in 1988. FAMILY has close TIES hallhousesfamihrewmon Since 1988, living in Putnam Hall had been a Klingele family tradition. When Paul Klingele, senior in computer engineering, moved into Putnam in 1992, he began the tradition of four family members living in the hall at once. People always tease us, Shawn Klingele, Paul ' s cousin and senior in civil engineering, said. Some people say they ought to name this Klingele Hall. Shawn ' s sister, Jennifer Klingele, sophomore in family studies and community service, lived on Putnam ' s first floor. It ' s good having family here, she said. After I moved here, I got to know my brothers and cousins as friends and it ' s fun having them around. Paul and his brother, David, freshman in mechanical engineering, lived together on the fourth floor. David said he had not felt pressure to attend K-State. I thought it would be a nice touch if I went to K-State, but I didn ' t feel obligated to go, David said. Living in the same hall allowed family members to learn more about each other, Shawn said. When I left for college my sister was in the eighth grade, he said. That ' s how I remembered her. When she finally got up here, I got to know her better and thought ' Hey, she ' s changed and grown up a bit. ' Shawn and Jennifer saw their cousins only a few times a year but by ashley schmidt that changed once they all lived in the same residence hall. Sometimes we all get together to eat, go to a movie or just hang out, Shawn said. I also see my cousins when we have fourth floor functions. Although he had a hectic schedule, Paul said he always made time for family. We watched all the football games that we could together and we get together to celebrate birthdays, he said. No one was sure why living in Putnam had become a family practice, Jennifer said. It ' s just one of those things that just happened and we don ' t know why, she said. With my family, it ' s a joke-type thing. After Shawn graduated in December, only three Klingeles were left in the hall. There ' s been four here for so long, they feel like they ' re down in numbers, Shawn said. Since the Klingele tradition began with Maria Klingele, six family members had lived in Putnam. Around my birthday one year, a female friend from high school came up to surprise me, Shawn said. She knew I lived in Putnam Hall. I was gone at class, but my cousin Brenda was working the front desk and Maria was out on the porch. My friend said ' No one can even come to the hall without running into a Klingele.

People see the 24-hour quiet hall sign and just freak out, Paul Klingele, Putnam Hall governing board president and senior in computer engineering, said. People just picture us sitting chained to our desks studying. That ' s not the case. We just know where to be loud and that ' s in the TV room in the basement. The basement is where we make all the noise. Although Putnam residents could get rowdy in the basement, they still observed hall rules. The hall normally is quiet, Kari Evans, sophomore in pre-audiology, said. We have a respect agreement that creates a 24-hour quiet time. You can be loud if you want but your neighbor can come over and request that you stop being loud. The policy was limiting but it also had advantages. Sometimes it can be kind of frustrating being quiet all the time but when you want it to be quiet like when you ' re studying for a big test it ' s really nice to have that option, Evans said. By the Royal Purple Staff Putnam became a 24-hour quiet hall about 10 years ago, Klingele said. Tamara Hosman, sophomore in psychology, said the policy was enforced more than in previous years. You can be in your room with your TV on really low and they ' ll threaten to write you up, she said. You just run into someone in the hallways and if the PvA runs into you (talking), she ' ll tell you to go into your room. Hosman said although she saw a positive side to the 24-hour quiet hall, she often felt restricted by the policy. I like it that you aren ' t disturbed by your neighbors but some of it is a little ridiculous, she said. They take it too far. Stephanie Raymer, freshman in interior design, said the majority of residents on her floor did not like the policy. She advocated a more relaxed policy. I ' m not thinking (of a policy) exactly like the other dorms maybe a 12-hour quiet policy, she said. People see the 24- hour quiet hall sign and just freak out Paul Klingele senior in computer engineering -Putnam Hall- 339 M,ORE than the GRADE Incoming students competed to live in Smith Scholarship House. Cory Pfeifer, house recruitment chairman and junior in chemistry, said about 20 to 25 people applied per year and 10 to 15 were accepted based on various aspects ofhigh school life, including ACT score, leadership ability and how well the applicant worked with others. We ' re not a bunch of nerds, Caudill said. We don ' t just look at GPA, we look at extracurricular smi thlooksfoi leaders activities and at overall character. I think everyone ' s image of us is that you have to have some kind of scholarship to get in. Members were required to maintain a 2.7 grade point average. To help Smith maintain the highest GPA among all living groups, as they had done in five of the past six semesters, the house had a scholarship committee. The committee updated test files, enforced quiet hours and made sure members had time to study. The president of the scholarship committee basically helps the house run smoother, Musick said. If someone is having trouble in a class, he ' ll try to call the professor and maybe try to set up tutoring. The house was not connected with the University, so Smithies had to recruit all members themselves, Charles Caudill, house president and by sarah garner senior in biology, said. The application process began by the house obtaining a list of scholars from the University and sending information and applications to incoming students. After completing an application, a potential member interviewed with three or four Smithies. About 35 members lived in the house. The number goes up and down from year to year, he said. We have room for about 40 people. Smith was like a fraternity in several ways living quarters were the same and members had weekly meetings, Pfeifer said. The meetings are basically to update us on problems and other things dealing with the house and to discuss them, Jason Musick, freshman in music education, said. The only thing we do at all meetings is Quotable Quotes. That ' s where guys stand up and tell about funny things other people in the house have said. However, there were differences between Smith and a greek house. Smith did not have a membership fee or a pledge system and all members had full voting privileges. Musick said living in the house helped him study. It gives me a chance to study without the interference of other stuff, he said. My social life doesn ' t interfere with academics. A Smith member bags leaves as part of his daily chores. Smith Scholarship House was a cooperative living environment in which the Smithies did six to seven hours of cooking and cleaning per week to lower their house payments. Members of Smith regularly practiced sports together to remain in top condition. This allowed them to stay in the top two teams in independent intramurals, as they had done for the past five years. One of the members ' favorite games was Ultimate Frisbee. Charles Caudill cuts down an evergreen tree to take to Smith for Christmas. The members decorated the house for the holidays to make it feel more like a home. (All photos by members of Smith Scholarship House) 340 -Smith- Atwood, Justin...__ __...

SO smurthwaite quilt made o f 1 i m ad e o r i , , personality patches A I JL In M rlo tharrill A needy family brought the 45 members of Smurthwaite House together. Members found the family through the Flint Hills Breadbasket and decided to make a quilt for the single mother and her three-year-old son as a Christmas gift. Each member contributed to the house ' s first-ever quilt by creating a square-foot quilt patch. It should be a diverse quilt, Rabiha Abuzeineh, sophomore in elementary education, said. It has everyone ' s personality in it. The patches represented the character of the different creators. Jill Hayhurst, house president and sophomore in speech pathology, made her patch from Tasmanian Devil material. The material is perfect for our president. It really fits her personality, Becky Bohne, junior in interior architecture, said. It ' s Jill in the morning. Other patches symbolized the friendship and family Smurthwaite provided. It starts with friendship, the heart of everything, Leslie Schultz, freshman in chemical engineering, said, describing her patch. Then the patches of green are for growth of friendship, the red is for love and blood of the family and at Smurthwaite we are like family. Karla Hightower, freshman in home economics education, found a patch design with the help of her mother. I brought one of my mom ' s quilting books home and I liked a design, she said. I liked helping others and I ' ve always been big on community service. By Maria Sherrill Others also included their families in the project. During Thanksgiving break I brought the material home, Sacha Haukenberry, sophomore in psychology, said. My mom and my grandmother helped (make the patch). It was like a family gathering. Because a patch was desired from every member, not all 45 squares were quilted. We wanted it to be something everyone could do, Abuzeineh said. It didn ' t matter if they were sewn, painted or just a piece of material. The 45 patches came together through teamwork. We are going to move all the furniture out of the front room, Bohne said. We want a one-inch border separating each patch, seaming them together and then we are going to bind it. Members also donated toys and appliances to the needy family. We have a large black coat and household appliances we found to give to the family, Abuzeineh said. We want to get educational toys for the little boy. The members hoped to make the family ' s Christmas special, Bohne said. The quilt will mean more to them because an entire house of girls care about them, Hightower said. If I got something like this I would be thrilled. The quilt will mean more to them because an entire house of girls care about them.

Hart was part of the residence hall ' s staff and worked about 40 hours a week helping keep the residence hall open. Television, exercising at Chester E. Peters Recreation Center and reading helped him pass the time while he was not working.

Rizek stayed in Manhattan to work in plant pathology in Throckmorton Hall. Kramer Dining Center was not open during the break so students resorted to Ramen noodles, instant rice and mash potatoes and foods that were easily prepared in their rooms. The halls remained open so students who had jobs or other reasons to stay in Manhattan over the break would have a place to stay.

Kuntz U With jobs, classes and basketball games continuing in spite of the holidays, residence hall students found places to stay during winter break their own rooms. This was an experimental process over the holidays, Chuck Werring, director of housing, said. There were many factors leading to leaving the dorms open. Students not wanting to spend the entire break at home had the option of returning to school with a place to stay. I stayed here because I have a job here in town, Jennifer Hildebrand, freshman in business administration, said. It was really nice that I didn ' t have to pack up all of my stuff to go stay in another dorm. In the past, students wanting to stay in the dorms over winter break were charged an extra cost and assigned rooms in Marlatt Hall. Leaving the halls open was a good service for many international and out-of-state students who were not returning home, Brian Hart, community assistant for Goodnow Hall and junior in microbiology, said. I know that some people can ' t go home, Hildebrand, said. It was much more convenient for them to stay in their dorm and not to have to look for another place to stay. Because Strong Complex residents were issued new room keys when they returned to school, officials tracked that 104 Strong Complex residents accessed their rooms over the break. Other numbers were not available because residents in remaining halls were not required to check in. Although all of the halls stayed open, only a few front desks remained functional during the vacation. There were three desks open Haymaker, Marlatt and Van Zile. There were seven people on duty all the y J.J- time, Hart said. Two sets of rovers went through all the buildings in four-hour shifts all the time. It went pretty smooth. The staff found it beneficial being able to stay and work, Werring said. We surprisingly had a lot of folks wanting to work over the break, he said. We had on-campus and off- campus people that had worked for us in the past or who currently work durin g break. Residents were able to come and go as they pleased, Werring said. We wanted to go to a basketball game and rearrange our room ahead of time, so we thought we ' d come up early, Laura Williamson, freshman in biology, said. Keeping the halls open was convenient for the residents and kept past problems from reoccurring. Normally at this time of the year with all of the staff gone, we get calls from students wanting to get in the dorms for ski equipment or forgotten wallets and checkbooks, Werring said. With the dorms open this year people have been able to come get their stufFand leave without a problem. Many students had requested there be a 24-hour, 1 2-month residence hall, Werring said, and that may be a future possibility. The ideal is the student would check-in in the fall and have 24-hour access to the dorms until May. It would just like an apartment, Werring said. We would really like to be to that point in the future. It was much more convenient for them to stay in their dorm than to look for another place to stay. Jennifer Hildebrand freshman in business administration -Residence Halls- 345 Van Zile Hall friendships grow in as rols open doors X ByLynnWuger If I ' m having a prob- lem, I can go to any door and say ' Hey, I ' ve got this problem, will you help me out. ' Dustin Springer junior in special education Rocks found on campus became stepping stones to building hall unity. Residents of Van Zile Hall gathered rocks from campus to aid in getting to know each other. Van Zile established the open-door policy, Dustin Springer, hall president and junior in special education, said. We had rocks to prop the doors open. That way people could walk by, peek in and say ' How ' s it going? ' The doors automatically close and keeping them propped open helped a lot in getting to know everyone in the hall, he said. The policy, which worked well in the small hall, began last year with Emily Overman, senior in food science and industry, and Kristen McGrath, junior in pre-medicine, Springer said. Emily and Krista started the open door policy, he said. It was generally used by older students so they could get to know each other. The upperclassmen residence hall, was open to any student wanting to live there, Roth said. I think they (housing) are trying to give everyone the opportunity to live in Van Zile because it ' s such a unique way of living, she said. This year we had a few freshmen, sophomores and transfer students. Besides having an open-door policy, residents also planned group activities to get acquainted with one another. In October, residents gathered in front of the television to cheer on the Wildcats as t hey played Nebraska. Balaun, Sheila Salma Horticulture JR Bermude:, Pedro San Juan. P.

It was one of the best programs we ' ve done here, with the best turnout, considering we ' re such a small hall. Another event, which took place the weekend before Thanksgiving, was a group outing to Kansas City, Mo. We went ice skating at Crown Center one weekend and went shopping on the Plaza, Kristen Roth, senior in human ecology, said. It was one of our biggest turnouts with about 20 residents attending. The hall ' s interaction paid off when they won the President ' s Award for Excellence, Springer said. Van Zile residents are very proud of their hall, Roth said. It ' s visible in their reactions and expectations. If they want something done, they make sure it gets done in a positive way for the hall. Springer said the positive attitude was not always present in other living situations. I lived in Haymaker my freshman year and I hardly knew anyone who lived on my floor, Springer, said. I know everyone living in Van Zile. Because the hall only housed 68 students, residents felt they were more like a family, Springer said. We have great response from our residents. Everyone in the hall cares, he said. It ' s almost like a family and that ' s something that was really rare in such a big hall like Haymaker. Talking through problems was also easier since residents were familiar with everyone living in the hall. If I ' m having a problem, I can go to any door and say ' Hey, I ' ve got this problem, will you help me out, ' Springer said. I ' m sure there are those relationships and connections in the other halls but I think Van Zile is really unique. 346 -Van Zile Hall- Van Zile Hall Wemand. Chad Independence.

West ' s , . social opportunities By Sarah Garner The floor activi- ties make the floors closer and more like a family. Liz Miller sophomore in secondary education West Hall residents did not get as many opportunities to meet girls who lived on other floors as they had in the past. Activities in West became more floor-based rather than concentrated on the entire hall. Jessika Kiser, hall president and senior in sociology, said a committee called Students Programming for Students did the planning for all-hall activities but RAs were responsible for floor activities. Activities are more community- based, Kiser said. Floors will do more just for the floors. Laura Williams, third floor president and sophomore in pre-physical therapy, planned events tor her floor. There really haven ' t been a whole lot of all-hall activities, she said. Most of the activities we do are floor activities. I ' ve taken my girls to lectures on campus and we ' ve gone to things as a floor. Liz Miller, fifth floor president and sophomore in secondary education, said the floor-based activities brought residents closer. I think it ' s better because you see the girls on your floor everyday, she said. When there ' s an all-hall activity, there ' s 300 girls there and you don ' t know most of them and you ' re just trying to meet as many as you can but you don ' t get real close to them. The floor activities make the floors closer and more like a family. Some residents did not favor reducing the number of all-hall activities, Williams said. A lot of older residents who are used to having the big hall activities miss it, she said. The new residents don ' t know how it used to be. They get excited about the floor activities. Thaine Bray, freshman in pre-veterinary medicine, said the floor-based activities were beneficial to residents. I ' ve gotten to know people on my floor but not many others, she said. I liked the smaller number of people because you can get to know them better. Bray said she enjoyed decorating for holidays, taking study breaks and going out for ice cream with floor residents. Floor presidents were responsible for most aspects of floor activities, Kiser said. The floor presidents were each given a different Homecoming competition they had to organize, she said. Each floor did different things to raise money for the family we adopted. The presidents had to think of what to do. Kiser said she thought West needed more all-hall activities. I saw more interaction between girls on different floors when we had all-halls, she said. As hall president, I don ' t even know everyone in the hall and the only way to meet them would be to go door-to-door. I would like to have all-halls and floor activities to supplement. 348 -West Hall- West Hall Glasco Cely Bird City Apparel S Text.lt Mktg.

FR rise in numbers due to Acacia ' s Larger parties and placing in intramurals were results of more effective rushing by the Acacia fraternity. The fraternity initiated 12 to 15 pledges per year in the past but that number increased to 19, comprising a pledge class that made up almost half of the fraternity ' s 50 members. The house was down in numbers when we took office but this is helping our grades. We ' ve gone to the top five in intramurals and we ' re having a lot of good functions, Matt Basler, junior in journalism and mass communications, said. The wheel is turning and things are working the way they should. Tony Prettyman, rush chairman and sophomore in agriculture, attributed the large pledge class to having two rush chairmen. Last year we started having two rush chairs instead of just one, he said. That helps a lot because there ' s two guys to share the responsibility and we could visit twice as many people to recruit. Dylan Spencer, sophomore in fisheries and wildlife biology, and Basler served last year as co-rush chairmen. Basler said members became more involved in recruiting. Dylan and I started out by telling the guys that we wanted recommendations from them (for potential new members), Basler said. That was something new and it helped a lot. Prettyman said he, Basler, Spencer and Dan Knox, senior in industrial engineering, attended the first Acacia Leadership Academy at Indiana University Aug. 2-5 to learn how to rush effectively. Our numbers were down and they tried to help us, Prettyman said. They taught us good ways to rush, how to be leaders, things we need to do with our ritual and just basic fraternity things. I ' m definitely glad I went. We ' ve gone to the Matt junior in journalism and mass communications Having more members helped Acacia ' s reputation, Prettyman said. The more people you have, the {Qn fjyg |f| | more recognition you get, he said. More people on campus know we ' re a Jf|(j VV6 T6 nSVIflg 3 lOt national fraternity when we get bigger. Increasing membership diminished 0f (T00(j funCtlOflS. the financial strain on the fraternity, Prettyman said. This will increase our funds and money always helps, he said. We ' re able to throw bigger parties. Luke Meier, fraternity vice president and junior in pre-law, said the new members added life to the fraternity. It ' s good to get young blood, he said. They ' re excited and enthusiastic. They ' re willing to do some of the less glamorous work. Rush was a vital part of any greek house, Meier said. When I was a freshman we didn ' t realize the importance of rush and we paid the price, he said. We know how important it is now and we need to get that across to the younger guys. We have to pass it on. -Acacia- 351 Acacia Hughbanks. Oavid Omaha, Neb.

SR large numbers help new members excel By Dan Lewerenz Wednesday night visitors to the Alpha Chi Omega sorority were apt to see some new faces. Quota for rush this year was 43 and we just had a good rush, Lynn Balthrop, vice president for education and junior in marketing, said. We had a lot of girls who wanted us as badly as we wanted them. Alpha Chi accepted 45 new pledges, more than any other sorority. The total number of women rushing was 461, down 16 from the previous year. There were fewer girls going through rush this year than the year before, Balthrop said. So getting this many pledges is just great. The newcomers made their mark early when Lisa Griffiths, freshman in psychology, was named Miss Pledge Games. The group also won the Spirit Award and the overall Pledge Games competition. Ashley Malone, house president and senior in sociology, said winning these activities helped new members learn more about each other . I think it helped them out a lot. It made them want to get more involved in the greek system, she said. For freshmen coming into this system, it can be really scary and things like the Pledge Games can help the girls meet people and have fun. The pledges helped Alpha Chi follow up their For freshmen coming into this system, it can Pledge Games performance by winning the Phi Delta Theta Score for Charity flag football tournament and placing no lower than third at Tau Kappa Epsilon Powder Puff Tournament, Gamma Phi Beta Beta Theta Pi Spiketacular and Alpha Gamma Rho Pi Kappa Alpha Beach Bash. It helps the new members see that philanthropies and raising money can Up rpolly Cfarv 2nd be fun, Malone said. ' ' Because there were so many pledges, { [ (K |jk( the Pledge some had to share pledge moms. Not everyone takes on a daughter, so a lot of us have the same pledge mom, Julie Heinzler, freshman in environmental design, said. I ' m a twin with another girl. Balthrop said the pledge class ' closeness and size would help the sorority in the future. Over the years there are obviously going to be a lot of people who transfer to another school or leave to get married, so it ' s great to have a bigger class to start with, Balthrop said. That just means they ' ll end up with more people when they ' re seniors. Games can help the girls meet people and have fun.

Yeoman Lor Alpha Delta Pi sorority members, renewed friendships and strengthened bonds of sisterhood marked the weekend of the football game against Kansas. The Alpha Eta chapter of ADPi began their three-day 80th anniversary celebration Oct. 27, the week after the Oct. 15 founding anniversary. We chose that weekend because it was right around the actual anniversary date, Gina Buster, alumni relations officer andjunior in journalism and mass communications, said. It was more complicated to plan, but we were pleased with the turnout. The game encouraged more people to come up. Members were worried few alumnae would attend the anniversary celebration, Buster said, because it was the weekend after Homecoming. They thought many alumnae might return for Homecoming festivities and not for the sorority function. Those concerns were forgotten when 175 alumnae attended the celebration. Including alumnae ' s spouses and families, about 250 people were present. It was a bit of a problem with hotel accommodations, Amy Vaughan, sorority president and senior in marketing, said. Women brought their husbands and children. Buster said she began trying to make hotel arrangements for alumnae in April but all Manhattan hotels were booked because of the football game. We ended up having to book rooms in Junction City, but people were very understanding, Buster said. I think they realized how hard it is to get rooms on game weekends. She said she was glad most alumnae brought their families or spouses, because the members had wanted the celebration to be a family event. On Friday night, alumnae registered at the ADPi house and were given house tours and refreshments. We displayed some old, refurbished scrapbooks that the alumnae originally put together, Vaughan said. We also had old composites for them to look at how they used to look when they were in school. Saturday ' s events began with a tailgate party prior to the football game. The house purchased 200 tickets for the game so alumnae and their families could attend, Vaughan said. The game was followed by a semi-formal at the Wareham Opera House. The K-State Concert Jazz Ensemble played at the party attended by alumnae, members and their dates. It was kind of tough for everyone to get up for the tailgate and go to the game and then get ready and go to the party, Vaughan said, but a lot of people attended and it was very elegant. Everyone dressed up for the occasion. On Sunday, coffee and donuts were served at the house and the alumnae came over to catch up, Vaughan said. It was a different crowd than our 75th anniversary, Buster said. There were more recent graduates and people who couldn ' t come to the 75th. She started planning for the event in the summer by sending fliers to all the alumnae she could locate. One of the huge problems with the anniversary was trying to find all of the alumnae, Buster said. They ' re spread out all over the country and I ' m sure a lot of them never even received their information. The 80th anniversary made members freshman In pfC-hcalth professions more conscious of the sorority ' s longevity, she said. I think it increased our awareness of the history of the house and all that it ' s meant to other people, Buster said. It helped (new members) get excited because they had heard about the anniversary since rush. The anniversary celebration was meaningful to all ADPis but especially to new members, Sara Flaherty, freshman in pre-health professions, said. By seeing how close some of the alumnae were, it made me realize how important these girls will become to me, Flaherty said. I ' m not that close to everyone yet, but I know that I will be someday. By seeing how close some of the alumnae were, it made me realize how important these girls will become to me.

U Although Alpha Gamma Rho fraternity ' s national foundation stopped recognizing the fraternity ' s little sister program, the organization continued to grow. I think it gives us a little more freedom, Julie Strickland, Alpha Gamma Rho Mate vice president and sophomore in agricultural journalism, said. It ' s nice to know that our fraternity kept us even though they are not supported nationally. During the AGR ' s national convention in June, nationals voted to stop recognizing the Rho Mates but did not mandate official phasing out of the program, Brent Wiedeman, house president and senior in animal science, said. A lot of the fraternities have done away with their little sister programs because of the sexist connotation it carried and the way they went about picking their little sises, Strickland said. Members tried to prepare for future conflicts with nationals over the continuation of the program, Scott Foote, sophomore in agricultural economics, said. We want to be well prepared to say ' This is why we should have the program, ' Foote said. We want our reason (to continue the program) to outweigh their reasons. Despite the lack of national support, the numbe r of Rho Mate applicants increased. In fall 1992 about 80 women applied, however, that number rose to over 100 in fall 1995, Wiedeman said. Of the 100 women who applied, 67 Rho Mates were selected to equal the number of members in the fraternity. Pledges were paired with a big sister and upperclass fraternity members were paired with a little sister. The old selection process required applicants to go from room to room where they were asked questions. In fall 1994 the AGR members changed the selection process, Wiedeman said. They didn ' t think that they were getting the caliber and quality of girls that they wanted, Strickland said. So they changed it to an interview process. Interested applicants filled out applications and the selection committee chose women to go through interviews. Once selected, the Rho Mates attended weekly meetings at the house and participated in activities with the members. They also helped with the fraternity ' s philanthropy. Little sisters found the lack of national support helped them better govern their organization, Strickland said. It hasn ' t really hindered us. In fact, just this semester when we elected new officers we opted to add two additional officers, she said. Speaking for K-State ' s little sises, we ' re not afraid to evolve. We would definitely fight to keep our organi- zation. We would vote against it at the national convention.

Wichita l ..Sedgwick Ft slide show helps remember the years C R r h r ; c n a On Oct. 21 , members of Alpha Tau Omega fraternity had more on their minds than the football game against Nebraska. They were cleaning up the house for their brothers. The ATOs sent more than 1,000 invitations to alumni for their 75th anniversary. To celebrate the occasion, members organized a banquet at the Wareham Opera House, during which alumni and members watched a slide show about the chapter ' s 75 years. Christian Kelly, junior in pre-law, said the slide show was organized by two members and an alumnus who used pictures from old photo albums. I had seen a lot of the pictures before in the scrapbooks but it was still neat, Kelly said. You would see a picture of guys from the 70s and you would hear people laughing from one of the tables behind you and you would realize that was him years ago and his friends and wife were laughing about how they had looked back then. During the banquet, Brian Ruyle, national ATO president, awarded the house a True Merit Award, which recognized the chapter as one of the top 10 in the nation. It was neat the president was here giving it to us and telling us that we ' re doing things right and we ' re one of the top chapters, Gary Majors, house president and senior in marketing, said. Having that come from the national president made us feel really good and the alumni especially appreciated it. Ruyle also informed the members of the new ATO vision, which was 100 percent graduation and 100 percent job placement. He talked about 100 percent job placement of ATOs in the future, Ryan Noose, senior in marketing, said. This would be done by networking through alums and getting contacts in the job market. The national council ' s plan was to connect all The dinner was really nice and formal but By Chris Dean chapters by computer and create a network of alumni who could help graduates find jobs. After the banquet there was a dance which both actives and alumni attended. The dinner was really nice and formal but afterwards everyone just cut loose and had a great time, Kelly said. I was surprised because a lot of the older guys stayed and were out there dancing and having a great time. Over 150 alumni attended the celebration, he said. I was surprised by the turnout because I knew people were worried about it since it was a game weekend, Kelly said. Turnout was great though, especially by older alumni. It was neat because of the range of alumni who came. In honor of their anniversary, the ATOs dedicated a granite marker which afterwards CVCrYOnC jllSt was placed outside their house. They also dedicated a plaque to the people CUt IOOS6 and Had a who had donated over $150,000 for house renovations. Another plaque was dedicated to Hollis House, the old chapter house, and placed in Throckmorton Hall which was the site of the house. During the celebration, the chapter inducted the first six people, all original chapter founders, into their new Hall of Honor. Throughout the weekend, the actives were also given the chance to talk with alumni about how the house was in the past. It was great to see the alumni walk through the house and describe who lived where and what the rooms used to look like, Kelly said. A couple said they were jealous and wished all the renovations had been done when they were here. great time.

Pauline Houtz took over as the Alpha Xi housemother at the beginning of the fall semester and had an immediate effect on the members. Mom Houtz has brought more love and spirit to the sorority than you can possibly imagine, Holly Glover, junior in pre-health professions, said. Because of the extra stuff and activities she plans and she goes out of her way to get involved with us, she ' s given us a much more unified feeling. After the death of her mother and husband, Houtz said she needed a lifestyle change. I heard about the housemom position through Stella Leiszler, the Gamma Phi Beta house mom, Houtz said. Stella was always saying how much she enjoyed her job and made it sound so exciting. After interviewing with a few houses, Houtz decided on Alpha Xi. I went to the interview and everything with some of the alumni board and girls and they said to me, ' We want you, ' she said. When they said ' We want you, ' it made me feel so good and I decided to do it. Houtz said she worked to create a positive atmosphere for the members, especially during the holidays. Halloween was really great. We all dressed up and I think everyone had fun, she said. For Christmas I decorated most of the house and I also got Santa Claus to come by and visit the girls. Aside from her regular responsibilities of planning menus and attending sorority functions and meetings, Houtz said she worked hard at supporting and motivating the members. Carol Drew, freshman in speech pathology, said she saw Houtz at many Alpha Xi events. I go to all their functions and try to reinforce whatever they ' re interested in, Houtz said. Whether it be Glee Club, touch football or a jazz concert, I ' ll be there. She would often take members to the doctor or to class when they were late, trying to be available for them when they needed her, Houtz said. Girls are always coming into my room and sitting and talking with me, she said. I have an open door policy day, night or anytime. The Alpha Xi ' s appreciated the effort Houtz put into the house. She just goes out of her way to do things, Erin Shellhardt, junior in psychology, said. One day she was out raking leaves at six in the morning. Houtz said adjusting to a house full of women was easy because she had experience working with people. I love young people and it is challenging to see them growing, Houtz said. I try to inspire them in any way I can. They are our future generation. Mom Houtz has brought more love and spirit to the sorority than you can possibly imagine.

Beta Sig Sundays, which started when the chapter was established in 1951, became times for members to remember what their fraternity was about as they attended one of the four Lutheran churches in Manhattan. Basically, the chaplain picks one Sunday a month and designates that as Beta Sig Sunday, David Fetters, house president and senior in elementary education, said. During the fall semester the Lutheran fraternity had seven Beta Sig Sundays. Our attendance at church is close to 1 00 percent, which is better than it has ever been, David Lott, sophomore in agricultural journalism, said. It is because of our chaplain. He took a step up and organized. Attendance was mandatory, Billy Wuggazer, house chaplain and senior in accounting, said but members never had attendance problems. Usually 25 guys go to mass together. Some take their girlfriends, Brandon Livingston, senior in mechanical engineering, said. We go in together and fill up to three or four rows. The priests really like that. The Beta Sigs ' appearance showed the community the Lutheran fraternity members were serious about The house has always been strong in spiritual- ity. That is what the house is founded on. David Fetters senior in elementary education their faith, Fetters said. Not only did Beta Sig Sundays make the fraternity look good, they benefited members, Livingston said. As far as for the public, we look like a strong fraternity, he said. Not only do we look that way, it really helps us to be a stronger fraternity and unites us. Wuggazer said he felt obligated to increase faith within the fraternity. Since we are a Lutheran house it is really important that we remember why we are all here together, Wuggazer said. It helps us unite as a house. The house carried on the traditional Lutheran beliefs not only by going to church but also by how they lived their daily lives. The house has always been strong in spirituality. That is what the house is founded on, Fetters said. But this year more people are involved and our house has become stronger because of the participation. Obligations other than religion did not stop the Beta Sigs from prioritizing their fraternity brothers and religion first. We all come from a common bond, Livingston said. Religion adds a really nice touch to the house. David Beikmann, freshman in agronomy, said he and other freshmen found advantages in the Lutheran house. I think I have grown stronger in faith, he said.

There was a new system for the campout, which informed campers ahead of time when the flag would go up and the camping would begin. The change made it easier for campers because they did not have to begin camping days ahead of time. To stay in the running for tickets once the campout began, each group kept a certain number of people at their campsite at all times.

The fraternity hosted Beta Days, an event the chapter sponsored every two years, during the weekend of the football game against Kansas. Members distributed more than 1,000 invitations to encourage alumni to attend the event that involved the gathering of past and present Betas. The game was hyped up and everyone was in a good mood, Kye Hittle, sophomore in architectural engineering, said. A total of 175 attended. Alumni from all over the nation made it to the celebration and a variety of age groups were involved. One entire pledge class attended Beta Days, Sean Simms, house president and senior in landscape architecture, said. The 1970 pledge class and their families hung out in the dining room and talked about old times Friday night. Wade Baker, alumni chairman and junior in accounting, organized the celebration. He said this was the first year for a formal banquet following the football game. Beta days was successful this year. The formal was a neat experience to hear their (the alumni) stories, Baker said. I guess you could say we got to visit with the roots of our fraternity. On the agenda for the Beta Days banquet was guest speaker John J. Rhodes, fraternity and K-State alumnus, who added a surprise to the event. In his speech he praised our housemother for winning the housemother of the year, Baker said. He also spoke about the importance of the fraternity in his life. Rhodes then donated his Oxford Cup to the Betas, which he was awarded as a lifetime achievement award from the national chapter. The award is only presented to top Betas, Hittle said. He (Rhodes) said he got so much out of being in the fraternity that he wanted to give something back to the house. I was interested in Mr. Rhodes, not just because of his success in life but to see how our fraternity affected them (alumni) later in life.

It brought everyone together Jodi Bacon senior in pre-physical therapy Members of the Chi Omega sorority took it personally for more than two hours. Chi O nationals implemented Take It Personally, a seminar designed to recognize the important decisions college students face daily, Jodi Bacon, senior in pre- physical therapy, said. Because the seminar was a mandatory activity, all 1 36 members attended the Oct. 22 event in the K- State Student Union Little Theatre. Members were supplied with workbooks, which correlated with a video about the program. The program dealt with topics including rape, hazing and drinking, Bacon said. The videos gave us scenarios and how to prevent them, she said. The seminar lasted two and a half hours, so we had pizza and pop. It was like our own movie theater with treats. The Chi Os divided into groups after the video to complete the workbooks. The program gave the girls in the house a chance to say ' Hey, that happened to me ' or ' Yeah, that could happen to me, ' Bacon said. It really opened our eyes. Take It Personally made the Chi Os aware of the dangers surrounding them, she said. Most of the girls in the house are from bigger towns. y Amy To us, Manhattan is small and safe, but in reality no town is really safe, Bacon said. Unless you ' re taking the necessary steps, no place is safe. The video made the members aware of what was legally considered hazing. In the video, it showed different perspectives that we had never even thought of. Even teasing is considered hazing, Bacon said. Even if a person is just joking around, someone who doesn ' t know them might take them seriously. Kristen Laughlin, senior in elementary education, said the video was prepared by the Chi O National Governing Council and risk management teams. A Chi O chapter in Texas acted out the different scenarios on the tape, she said. It ' s not like a home video, though, it ' s real professional. The Take It Personally seminar also addressed safety precautions concerning the houses. The video included fire codes, like not having too many appliances plugged in at once or having things cluttering the hallway, Angie Pauly, freshman in business administration, said. It surprised me how strict everything is, Pauly said. Next year when I live in the house I ' m going to have to remember all that. Take It Personally provided togetherness for the Chi O sisters, Bacon said. It was a sisterhood retreat as well as an awareness retreat, she said. It brought everyone together. 372 -Chi Omega- CM Omega Dickey, Natalie ........................ Leawood Pre-Occupational Therapy SR Edwards, Kristin ----------- __________________ .......

We started from nothing. We colonized. We started building up numbers and then we started doing things like a lot of other houses did. We started doing functions with other groups, Aaron Otto, housing chairman and junior in political science, said. Each year we just go a little bit further and become more established and more involved. However, since the fraternity ' s re-colonization in 1992, Delta Chi members sought to add another brick to their foundation a place to call home. We concluded that we can ' t be successful without being together, Jon Daugharthy, house president and junior in pre-law, said. Finding a reasonably priced apartment complex near campus that could house 31 of the fraternity ' s 63 members was a major concern, Otto said. We found out Royal Towers was one of the better apartments to live in because it was a big, big apartment complex, he said. Having half of the Delta Chis in Royal Towers made members feel more united, Daugharthy said. Getting at least half of us together has increased unity and brotherhood and communication, he said. It has given us something more to work with because it ' s showing us what we have to work with. It ' s giving us a taste of what it will be like (when we get a house). Members no longer had use the phone to remind each other of games and functions, Otto said. By Heather Rollings worth If there is an event happening that a fternoon we can knock on the doors. It ' s a big change talking in person instead of through cellular fibers, Otto said. If you have to make phone calls it ' s a lot easier for them to say, ' I ' ve got to study, I ' ve got to do whatever. ' Although only two new members lived in the complex, the centralized meeting place helped both new members and actives stay in touch, Otto said. It (living in the apartment complex) gives us the opportunity to bring new members in, Trice Alford, senior in speech, said. It ' s probably die best pledge class we have had because they have had the opportunity to experience more about the fraternity in the first semester. Learning to live with a large group was a challenge for the Delta Chis unfamiliar with the experience. There are obviously drawbacks and a lot of sacrifices you make just the normal roommate friction, Otto said. Everyone gets tired of everybody, but the greater good, when you step back and look at it, is that everybody is together and everybody is talking. Despite the togetherness Royal Towers provided, members refused to stop building. Everything is still like wet clay. You ' re molding the future, Otto said. Gradually it will harden into a foundation, but you still have to build on it. We started building up numbers and we started doing things like a lot of other houses did.

The sorority returned to the philanthropy Oct. 6 after three years of the Deltapalooza band competition. It was the decision of the nationals to make the change from Jail-n-Bail to Deltapalooza in 1992. They wanted us to try new things. Other Tri-Delt chapters had tried Deltapalooza and it was successful, Amy Voorhes, president of the sorority and senior in life sciences, said. We tried it and it just didn ' t work. The cost and difficulty of finding bands for the competitions made it difficult for Deltapalooza to be profitable. Deltapalooza was tough because of the bands and equipment, Alison Downard, junior in pre-dentistry, said. With Jail-n-Bail there is not much overhead. Because the sorority had not done Jail-n-Bail for three years, Downard said, the planning was difficult. It was tough for me because I wasn ' t here the last time we did it, she said. Now that it is established it will be easier to put it on. She began making preparations in spring 1995 and by September her biggest concerns were t-shirt sales and entry forms. Two sororities and 18 fraternities participated in the philanthropy, which was at Rusty ' s Last Chance. The Tri-Delts raised about $2,000 for the Children ' s Cancer Society. Each of the participating houses nominated a person to be imprisoned. To be released, or bailed out, a house had members go to Last Chance and sign a banner. While the main event was going on, other activities took place. Games like Simon Says, darts, pool and basketball entertained the packed bar. Each house got points for participating in the games and they also bought a lot of food, Downard said. Bartenders handed out tickets to those who purchased food and the Tri- Delts added the tickets to points received through the games to determine the winner of the competition. The Delta Tau Delta fraternity won the traveling trophy for the most points. Reaction to the event was positive from both the Tri-Delts and the participants. Everyone was really excited. All the other houses came together, Jamie VanHecke, senior in speech pathology, said. It ' s really good for the Greek community. They wanted us to try new things. Other Tri-Delt chapters had tried Deltapalooza and it was successful. We tried it and it just didn ' t work.

Every year our national sponsors a College of Engineered Leadership conference, Dan Ott, fraternity president and senior in civil engineering, said. It ' s a week-long retreat people from around the country attend. From about 200 applicants, Ott and Alex Dean, junior in biology, were chosen through a selection process that included an application and an essay. About 50 people attended the conference July 27- 31, which was informally structured to provide participants with opportunities to meet other people. There is a lot of interaction. They broke us up into five or six groups, Ott said. Each group had one facilitator. He would keep us on track. Several Delta Sig alumni were asked to speak to the group, including Pat Bosco, K-State alumni and dean of student life. I dealt with the challenges leaders will face in the 21st century and techniques they can use to meet these challenges, Bosco said. The College of Engineered Leadership ' s goal was not necessarily to serve the fraternity, Dean said, but to develop leadership skills that applied to the job market and members ' daily lives. I think it takes commitment to a substantive problem, y strong communication skills and a genuine interest in people other than yourself (to be a successful leader), Bosco said. I think the retreat provided the opportunity for them to develop their own leader skills and share common problems and situations found in fraternities. The lessons taught at the conference were seen in the way the chapter was run, Dean said. You can see how the people who went took what they learned to take the house in a positive direction, he said. To involve alumni in the chapter, Dean said he used what he learned at the conference. When I returned I became the alumni relations person, he said. I have been able to reach the alums better and to plan an Alumni Day. The retreat not only helped the house but also the individuals. I was better able to grasp my own leadership style, Dean said, not only how I perceive myself, but how others perceive me. The retreat focused on four elements that a leader should possess motivation, engineering one ' s heart, empowerment and delegating authority. They all fit together and if you possess all of those qualities you are probably a successful leader, Ott said. You can see how the people who went took what they learned to take the house in a positive direction.

Interior Architecture SR first-year members of Delta Sigma ! Theta oh their own By Chris Dean The members of Delta Sigma Theta sorority had three common bonds. All nine women were first-year members who wanted to gain leadership skills and help the community. All the (members from last year) had graduated and we were left with the task of figuring things out ourselves, which was really hard at first, Angela Brown, house president and junior in secondary education, said. Although the older members were gone, the new members did not feel abandoned by them. Before they left, the last group told us everything we had to know, Kiki Lovelace, junior in human development and family studies, said. It took us time to get everything together without them but I think that is pretty normal. Kimberly McKamie, senior in elementary education, agreed the members were not lacking guidance. Our adviser helps us a lot and we are still in contact with older members, she said. Jennifer Noisette, senior in management information systems, said having all new members actually helped the sorority. It ' s pretty good because we all have fresh, new ideas, she said. The members ' limited experience did not keep them from winning two step shows. The sorority won the Alpha Kappa Alpha ' s Neak Frasty step show Nov. 4 and the Black Expo step show, Steppin ' into the ' 90s, in Kansas City Dec. 4. Brown said winning the events increased the self-esteem of the young sorority members. Of course it was a boost, she said. Doing the job and knowing that you did it well is always a boost. Brown said she hoped Delta Sigma Theta ' s achievements at the step show would be noticed by other sororities. I would hope that it would not really grab the other sororities ' attention but make them realize that it can be done, especially since we are all new members, she said. Other achievements included sponsoring a clothing drive for the women ' s shelter, helping with Habitat for Humanity and volunteering at a daycare center, Brown said. The reason for the volunteer projects was because Delta Sigma Theta was a community service-based sorority and not a social sorority, Lovelace said. Basically I think all sororities are trying to help out the community, she said. The only difference is that we don ' t live together. The group did not consider themselves any different than the other sororities on campus, Noisette said. We party just like the rest of them, she said. There are just times when we have to get down to business. It ' s (having all new members) pretty good because we all have fresh, new ideas. Jennifer Noisette senior in management information systems -Delta Sigma Theta- 383 Delta Tail Delta community program takes Delts j to elementary recess U By Sarah Kallenbach They get to play at recess. Who wouldn ' t want to do that? Gibran Diab sophomore in business administration Two fraternity members went to recess every day. In spring 1995, Delta Tau Delta fraternity began a program called Adopt-a-School. We send Delts daily to monitor the children at recess during lunch, Gibran Diab, sophomore in business administration, said. We do it voluntarily and through that we ' ve gotten inv olved in other programs. The members watched children play during recess at Bluemont Elementary School five days a week. We just play games with the kids and if some of the kids get into fights we mediate, Jamey Johnston, senior in human resource management, said. Diab and Elizabeth Boone, Bluemont principal, worked together on scheduling. I contact the principal and we let them know dates that we don ' t have school and from that we make out a schedule, Diab said. Johnston said finding members to volunteer was not a problem. Basically, we just have a sign-up, Johnston said. Actives are required to do it one time per semester and pledges have to do it twice. We usually don ' t have to enforce it. Joe Deshazo, freshman in pre -journalism and mass communications, went to the school once a week. I like working with little kids. You get to know the kids, Deshazo said. You get to watch them fight and play kickball. They like to jump and climb on you. The Delts furthered the connection with the school by working on special projects, including three pledges talking to 350 elementary children about trick-or- treating safety. We look for the projects, but she (Boone) knows she can count on us, Diab said. The projects and the daily program helped the fraternity feel connected to the school and gave the Delts interaction with the community, he said. However, working within the community was just one advantage to the program. They get to play at recess, Diab said. Who wouldn ' t want to do that? Adams, Edward Topeka Nuclear Engineering FR Aidi.

The fraternity threw a party Dec. 1 at the Villages, a home for abused children. All of the 40 children who lived in the home attended the Christmas party. Everyone in the house had been paired up with a kid and they would get a present they wanted, Ryan Bridges, senior in marketing, said. We had a party where we exchanged gifts. The party provided the DUs an opportunity to help children. We raise money for it all year long and we like to go up there to interact with the kids, Quentin Hurst, fraternity president and senior in finance, said. About 40 members of the fraternity drove to Topeka to spend time at the Villages. I think we were more excited about doing it for them than they were, David Fritchen, junior in journalism and mass communications, said. The party provided excitement not only for the fraternity members but also for the children. There are a lot of sad cases and the Christmas party 3FC 2 lot Of By Sarah Kallenbach gave us a chance to give the kids something to look forward to, Fritchen said. Hurst said the Villages creates a home for children. They have a place in Topeka and also in Lawrence, Hurst said. It is basically for kids who have been abused. The DUs became involved with the program because one of their honorary members founded the Pf|JK n irtY P3V6 US 1 organization. The good thing about it is that we don ' t gain anything, Fritchen said. It is all about giving and being able to spend time with the kids and making a difference. The fraternity members tried to make it to Topeka at least once a year to spend time with the children. It is giving time back to them and sharing with them, Bridges said. It is important that they know there are people who are out there praying and pulling for them. tO giV6 the SOITiething tO l()0k ward to.

A large number of our house members have been or are currently in FFA, Ben Janssen, freshman in biological and agricultural engineering, said. I would say around 40 percent or more have been involved. Janssen, Gabe Eckert, Sheldon Eisele, Brad Montgomery, Derek Roth and Chris Stockbrand found themselves standing out among the 35,000 participants attending the 68th National FFA Convention Nov. 8- 1 1 in Kansas City. FFA is an organization which builds character and leadership in young adults, Janssen said. Kids are learning respect for themselves and their communities. He received a National FFA Horse Proficiency Award and won a trip to Europe. I ' ve been in FFA since I was about 13, Janssen said. My award was based on five years of records I kept, which showed my growth ofknowledge and involvement in taking care of six horses. Eisele, freshman in biological and agricultural engineering, was a member of the national champion team in agricultural mechanics career development. Montgomery, freshman in agricultural economics, and Eckert, freshman in agricultural journalism, served as delegates and committee members at the convention because of their positions as Kansas FFA officers. Roth, sophomore in biological and agricultural engineering, was an American FFA Degree Recipient and a Forage Production Proficiency Award finalist. Stockebrand, sophomore in agriculture, also received the American FFA Degree, which was awarded to three percent of FFA members per year. He said it was not too unusual for six FarmHouse members to receive national recognition in the same year. FarmHouse has a tradition of leadership and involvement in many areas, Stockebrand said. FFA has been a great source of growth for many of our members but those not involved haven ' t missed out on leadership opportunities within the house or on campus. The convention really energized all those in attendence.

Fl Wamego constructing their future, make house into home Pounding, sanding and sawing all sounds of their ongoing house renovations became familiar to members of Fiji fraternity. Remodeling, on the fraternity ' s house begun in 1994, was to continue throughout the school year and into 1997. There are a lot of things we have to do yet, Adam Gaines, senior in management, said. In the future there is a possibility for an additional wing. Minor renovations were made during the fall, such as carpeting in the entry way and living room, building additional walls for a television area, installing new lighting and refinishing woodwork around doors and windows. The Fiji ' s computer system was connected to the campus network, desk space was created and sectioned- offareas were added to offer privacy in the library, Tige Soderberg, junior in feed science management, said. It ' s hard to see the changes unless you knew what it was like before, Gaines said. It was like an institution and now it ' s more like a home. After leasing the house on Hunting Avenue in 1 993, By J.j. Kuntz the fraternity made the decision last spring to purchase it and make changes to the structure. Most renovations were done by the construction company, but members also had their share of work. To start off, at the beginning of the semester during our work week, we put a lot of time into painting the exterior, Jason Schamberger, senior in accounting, said. The construction company is mainly working on the structural changes. Money for the renovations, were expected to total $600,000 and came from house payments and Fiji nationals. Soderberg said although the remodeling process was slow, members were eager to see what the results would do for the house. The structure was pretty bad and the house was very plain and bare (before renovations), he said. We wanted to make the house look more prestigious and I think it is something that will help with us with recruiting. It was like an institu- tion and now it ' s more like a home.

Members saw the renovations for the first time when they returned for rush week. The renovations were done during the summer and were barely finished for rush. Gamma Phi alumna Susie Baxter, an interior designer with Design Details, did the designs, Kelley Bennett, junior in secondary education, said. She came to a chapter meeting and let us decide between a couple samples, so we had a little bit of say in the decision making and decorating, Bennett said. Renovations were done on the first floor of the house, on eight bedrooms and one upstairs bathroom. The dining room and living rooms look a lot classier and the new wooden floor looks more formal, Tammy Hoobler, house president and senior in agricultural business, said. The gray and mauve was depressing and drab. The new color scheme gave our house new life. Most members liked the changes, Melissa Clark, junior in horticulture, said. It was okay before the renovations. Some of the furniture looked old, but it really wasn ' t that bad, Bennett said. In contrast to the old, it looks a lot better now. The renovations cost about $100,000, Baxter said. Funding for the remodeling was mostly provided by alumnae donations and the house corporation board. It was kind of nerve racking trying to get it done before rush, Bennett said. When we came up this summer to get ready for rush, there was no finished floor, just concrete. It was scary because we couldn ' t visualize what it would look like done. Furniture deliveries were also delayed, some not a rriving in time for rush. A new glass-top table had been purchased but only the base of the table had been delivered by the first day of rush activities, Bennett said. A glass top from another table was used but was not secured to the new table base. Everyone was concerned with keeping away from that table, afraid the glass would be tipped over by a rushee, Hoobler said. When you ' re going through rush, you ' re so nervous you ' re going to do something wrong, Bennett said. A rushee would be so embarrassed when they ' d lean on it wrong and make the entire glass top flip up. All you could hear was voices talking and all of the sudden it sounded like someone dropped bricks. The renovations were worth the inconveniences, Bennett said. It revitalized the enthusiasm and now everybody wants to live in, including seniors wanting to get back in, Hoobler said. The gray and mauve depressing and drab. gave our house new life.

JR closeness among members in Theta grows in ford annex Rv a r a h K a 1 1 p n h a r To find the Kappa Alpha Theta annex go straight up the elevator to the eighth floor. For six members of the sorority, Ford Hall became an extension of the main house. Jennifer Wolf, sophomore in secondary education, decided she wanted to be a resident assistant instead of moving into the house. I applied through the basic interview process (for an RA) because they didn ' t think they would have enough room (in the house) for all of the sophomore class, Wolf said. Only two members of the class did no t get to move into the house, but Wolf said her decision to stay in the dorms was a relief to her and her family. It was going to be a big financial strain for my parents, she said. They are paying for my college. This way 1 get my room and board. The money Wolfs family saved was just one advantage to the arrangement. It lets me remain close to the house, Wolf said. This way I get to live close to the new members of the house. Judy Bloch, freshman in engineering, said living on the same floor as Wolf helped the new members. She tries to tell us things that are going on in the house, Bloch said. She tries to keep us informed. Living with the new members made it easy for Wolf to build strong relationships with them. We are closer than I am with the rest of the (pledge) By Sarah Kallenbach class, Wolf said. I see a lot of them because we live together. Closeness developed between Wolf and the new members, but also among the new members. You get to know them really well, Bloch said. Sometimes there are different activities for pledges for actives and it is nice to have the pledges here. Jolynn Rycken, freshman in secondary education, said the advantages of having Wolf as their RA were not just for them personally, but also for the house. I think it is good for her because she couldn ' t afford it. Being a resident assistant she gets to know other people in the residence halls, she said. I think that it would reflect good on any house. By living in Ford, Wolf could tell others about sorority life. Being an active member, it (living in the residence hall) allows me to really push the Greek life and I get to see another perspective, she said. Although Wolf did not regret her decision to be an RA, she said she missed some things by not moving into the house. I think I missed a lot, she said. Living in a house with 70 girls you are bound to become close. an active mem- ber, it (living in the residence hall) allows me to really push greek life and I get to see another perspective.

Members of the Kappa Kappa Gamma sorority ' s 1 993 pledge class got to know each other better living together in the annex, which the house had owned since 1980. Usually seniors lived in the annex, which was next door to the sorority house, but during the fall semester nine juniors were roommates. We designated one night a week that we would all go out to eat dinner by marla sherrill said. We would rent movies together and just veg out when we didn ' t want to go out. After living in the annex, members decided they liked the arrangement. We all decided that we want a house like that when we grow up, Viterise said. It is a two-story house that has hardwood floors, a cute- kitchen and a dining room. The annex had the same rules as the house, but they were not as monitored, Ross ,| moi annexbuildsc and do something together, Susie Ross, junior in life sciences, said. We were like our own little group. Living in the annex cost the same as living in the sorority house and it helped members make the move from living in the sorority house to having their own place. Living in the annex was great because before actually moving out on their own, it was like a transition, Shawna Smith, junior in pre- optometry, said. They can still eat at the house or they could cook on their own. Another advantage to living in the annex was getting to know the other eight roommates better than if living in the house, Becky Hayden, junior in hotel and restaurant management, said. We were always sitting in the kitchen and talking for hours, Susie Viterise, junior in special education, Rules, such as quiet hours, were not strictly enforced in the annex, Julie Schwieterman, senior in dietetics, said. At the annex if we are all talking nobody cares, she said. To guarantee members would not become detached from the sorority house, they could only live in the annex one semester. I think we only get to live in the annex for one semester because they don ' t want us away from the house, Hayden said. They don ' t want us to miss out on things happening over there. Although annex dwellers missed out on living in the sorority house, they found ways to have fun. We were all studying for finals and at one o ' clock we got in a food fight with the leftovers in our refrigerator, Ross said. We decided we had to clean the house the next day. IMon V Corie Gale, junior in hotel and restaurant managemen does her laundry in the basement of the annex. The nin women lived in the annex, which was located next door to the main house. Taking her turn doing the dishes, Susie Ross, junior in life sciences, cleans a cup. Although the residents of the Kappa annex said they enjoyed being able to cook for themselves, it also meant cleaning for themselves. In the room she shared with Gale and other roommates, Tara Bohn, junior in architectural engineering, spends her time studying. The annex residents said they liked the rooms ' bigger closets and larger rooms. Blowing a bubble, Mariah Tanner, junior in family studies and human services, watches as Bohn does her homework. Because of the small number of people in the annex, residents said the house became more of a home for them.

In her first year at the Kappa Sig house, Dana Lynne Hinshaw was the youngest housemother on campus. It ' s definitely not a job, it ' s a lifestyle, she said. It encompasses my whole life. When I ' m out at Wal-Mart, I am always thinking what I can get for the house. You don ' t do that with a job. A part-time accountant at Vanning and Associates in Manhattan, Hinshaw was also enrolled in nine credit hours. She said she planned to spend the next two years at the house while she worked toward her master ' s degree in family studies and human services. Brian Dowling, freshman in business administration, liked having a housemother who was attending college. She ' s in college now and she knows the college experience, he said. She can help us out because she knows what is going on now. Hinshaw said she loved her role at the house because each day brought a new experience. Somebody may come in and want some ice for an injury or another guy might come in at midnight to talk to me about changing his major, she said. My door is always open. It took some adjusting to become a housemother, Hinshaw said. Every time I heard them call me ' Mom ' it was so weird, she said. Now that I am so used to the role, it of mom By the Royal Purple Staff is weird if I hear the name Dana. Hinshaw was often found on the sidelines at sporting events cheering for the members. She was real good about going to our games, Brent Burklund, junior in construction science management, said. She was always supportive. Hinshaw also supported the members ' academic endeavors. She took college classes this semester, Burkland said. She understood the stress we were under, especially during finals. Members often depended on Hinshaw for advice and counseling. Mostly she helped out the younger people with problems with girlfriends, grades and questions about college, Burkland said. Hinshaw also did the house ' s meal planning and food budgeting. She actually plans the meals, Burklund said. The food has totally improved. When she was not in class or doing something for the house, Hinshaw studied. Sometimes when I ' m studying I hear feet stomping upstairs or a scream of anguish in the front hallway, she said. I just keep studying. It is routine for there to be noise in the house. Every time I heard them call me ' Mom ' it was so weird.

SR ransoming hostages Li i f ' ambda Chu goe an offer of freedom By Sarah Kallenbach Lambda Chi Alpha fraternity kidnapped sorority and fraternity officers and housemothers for ransom. But the ransom was not money it was food. The North American Food Drive was the Lambda Chi ' s philanthropy and in support of the drive, the fraternity ' s goal was to collect as much food as possible by the first Saturday in November. Nationally, every Lambda Chi chapter collects food on that day or before, Jeff McMillen, fraternity president and senior in civil engineering, said. Once kidnapped, the participants were taken to the Lambda Chi house where they ate dinner and waited to be ransomed. I helped plan the sorority and fraternity kidnappings, Casey Musil, senior in management, said. We charged $35 to get them back. Ten houses donated money to the food drive and five participated in the event. There weren ' t as many that participated as we would have liked, but for the first year I think that it was successful, Musil said. Because Nov. 1 was a hectic time, the fraternity collected food throughout the year. Nationals wanted us to do it just on one day, but as There weren ' t as many that participated as we would have liked, for the first year I it turned out it was our homecoming weekend, Todd Black, senior in civil engineering, said. So, we chose to spread it through the semester. Because this was the philanthropy ' s first year, Black, who was in charge of the event, had to organize the event from scratch. My main role was to organize the whole philanthropy, Black said. We basically came up with different ideas and delegated things out. On the national level, the Lambda Chis collected 529,311 pounds of food think that It W3S SUC and the chapter collected 3,000 pounds of food for the Flint Hills Breadbasket, All of the house participated in the events, McMillen said. Nationally, over 200 Lambda Chi chapters participated. Musil said they were hoping to collect more food next year. Since it was our first year we were pleased, he said. We are definitely planning on making it a bigger event next year. rgCtflll ' Casey Musil senior in management -Lambda Chi Alpha- 407 Phi Delta Theta Allen, Mark Topeka Marketing SR Allen, Michael Topeka Criminology FR Anderson, Scolt Topeka Environmenial Design FR Anderson, Seth Overland Park Civil Engineering FK Bell.

I ' m able to share that with a lot of other guys. Wes Hudelson senior in secondary education Their memories of brotherhood spanned 75 years. The Kansas Gamma chapter of Phi Delta Theta fraternity had memories ofbrotherhood that spanned 75 years. Their 75th anniversary was Dec. 31 but the chapter postponed their anniversary celebration and planned to have it in fall 1996. Evan Howe, fraternity and K-State alumnus, said the chapter was considering an ongoing 75th, where not all classes of alumni visited at once but each class visited at separate times. Kevin Macfee, junior in accounting, said the anniversary celebration ' s postponement was due to members not planning far enough ahead. Evan kind of thought if we ' re going to do it we need to do it right, he said. Wejust didn ' t plan enough. The person in charge of making all the arrangements is going to have a full-time job. It would have taken a full year to plan it and we didn ' t start soon enough. Some members were unhappy about the postponement of the anniversary celebration, Macfee said. I ' m disappointed but it was necessary, he said. The seniors would have liked to have seen it happen while they were still here but I think they ' re all planning on coming back for it. Although the chapter had not yet celebrated the event, the anniversary was meaningful to members, Barton Vance, house president and senior in By Sarah Garner management, said. Hopefully, this will instill the importance of our traditions in the younger guys, he said. It makes me feel good to know we ' ll be leaving the house in good hands and they ' ll keep the traditions going. Wes Hudelson, alumni chairman and senior in secondary education, said the anniversary reminded him of Phi Delt ' s purpose. It ' s all about having a brotherhood that goes back 75 years, Hudelson said. I ' m able to share that with a lot of other guys. We ' ve all been through the same things and have learned the same stuff. I ' ve met guys who were members a long time ago and we could talk for hours because we shared this bond. Hudelson ' s family had a Phi Delt tradition. He said because of this family connection, he was more familiar with how the fraternity had changed and developed over the years. I ' m the fifth person to live here in my family, Hudelson said. From the stories I ' ve heard, it ' s changed a whole lot with hazing policies and everything. Howe said the anniversary was significant to alumni as well as to actives. I never got to be real close to any people in the house a lot older or a lot younger than I am but we ' re all part of the same thing and there ' s a sense of unity, Howe said. We ' re all proud to be part of an entity that has lasted so long and been maintained as the same entity. Vance said the anniversary made him proud to be a member. It brings a sense of unity and pride in the fraternity, he said. It ' s a tradition we ' re proud of at K-State and we ' d like to see it continue and move forward as it has in the past 75 years. 408 -Phi Delta Theta- Phi Delta Theia : IA Vanhorn, Alan Finance Zimmerman.

The fraternity ' s basement was unusable due to water damage from the 1993 floods and the national council, which owned the house, would not help with repairs. I started thinking about it when I went to the national convention in Washington, D.C.Jason was there with pictures of the house, and I saw how badly the house had gone downhill, Richard Schuetz, fraternity and K- State alumnus, said. Jason Sullivan, fraternity president and senior in management, said the national council had financial reasons for not helping the chapter. Alpha Epsilon was a small chapter and there were not enough members in the house for nationals to repair the damage, he said. It was difficult to attract new members with the house in poor repair and consequently, the fraternity faced declining membership, according to Schuetz. The alumni group he formed after the summer convention decided to purchase the house in March. We decided to buy the house so that we could have By Sarah Garner more control and be more sensitive to the needs of the house, Scheutz said. We want to get the house out of the deplorable state of neglect it ' s in and bring it back to being a first-class house. Members were excited to get help from alumni, Jeff Winchell, senior in elementary education, said. The alumni buying the house is probably the best thing to happen to the house in a long time, Winchell said. The Alpha Epsilon alumni became incorporated to legally take control of the house ' s title and mortgage. Sullivan said he hoped the alumni would be better about meeting the house ' s needs than the national council. This will be good because the house will be locally owned and we ' ll be able to get renovations easier, he said. After buying the house, the Kansas-based corporation planned to sell it and purchase or build a new house. Winchell said he hoped the alumni interest would increase membership. This will increase membership and alumni support, he said. We haven ' t had alumni support since I ' ve been here and I think that will strengthen the house a lot. 4 1 -Phi Kappa Tau- Phi Kappa Theta Benson, Jonathan ...................

John Benson senior in social sciences Wildlife in Tuttle Creek State Park stepped aside for their own benefit. The Phi Kappa Theta fraternity sponsored their first mud volleyball tournament, Mud Bowl, Sept. 16 at Tuttle Creek to raise money for Kansas Wildscape. Wildscape worked to preserve and enhance the state ' s wildlife and the outdoors, John Benson, fraternity president and senior in social sciences, said. The Phi Kaps decided to change philanthropies because of a lack of interest. Our philanthropy for the last few years had been a fun run, Brian Till, junior in architecture, said. The interest in it had been waning, so we started planning the Mud Bowl. Due to a postponement of the tournament in the spring, some teams could not compete. Originally we were going to hold it last April, but it got rained out and some of the original teams couldn ' t come do it in the fall, Benson said. The new philanthropy not only took time planning, but also required members to work during the event. The week before the tournament, members prepared By Sarah Kallenbach the courts for the games and while the games were being played, the Phi Kaps did what was necessary to make the event run smoothly. On the day of the tournament we were DJs, referees and linesmen, Till said. We all kept busy. The tournament was divided into men ' s and women ' s divisions and about 10-12 teams participated, Till said. Wass and Co., an independent team, placed first in the women ' s division and Alpha Delta Pi placed second. In the men ' s division, Phi Gamma Delta placed first and Sigma Phi Epsilon placed second. After t-shirt sal es, food and trophy costs, Mud Bowl raised about $200 tor Wildscape. We probably spent more money than we made, Benson said. It was one of those learning experiences for the first year. Corey Black, junior in construction science and management, said the tournament was successful, in spite of a few problems and forgotten details. Anytime you try something new there are going to be some things that you don ' t expect little things like trash bags for people to sit on in their cars, he said. The important thing was that Mud Bowl was fun for the participants and the fraternity, Black said. I thought it went really well, he said. We had a good turn out and people seemed to have a good time. 4 1 1 -Phi Kappa Theta- Phi Kappa Ttieta Kristie Kershen, junior in elementary education and Alpha Delta Pi team member, dives for a ball during Mud Bowl Volleyball Tournament Sept. 16.

The tournament, which took place at Tuttle Creek State Park, raised around $200 for Kansas Wildscape.

Jamie Congrove junior in journalism and mass communications Although a single person had not depledged, the Pi Beta Phi sorority had no pledges left by the end of the fall semester. Because of a decision by the national council, all Pi Phi chapters shortened their pledge programs, Kara Rogers, house president and senior in political science, said. We are going to a shorter pledge program, but right now we are still in the experimental phases, she said. Rogers said the shorter program was an advantage for the new members. It is a benefit to the girls because they can participate earlier, she said. We become a house as a whole faster. Because this was the first year the pledge program did not last an entire semester, the chapter decided to gradually shorten the program. Kam Kohlmeier, junior in marketing, said the program was shortened to 15 weeks and would eventually decrease to 10 weeks. We ' ve always [held initiation] at the end of the semester, she said. Nationalsjust felt that this was something we needed to do. Kohlmeier said although the change was for the better, it took time for the house to make the adjustments. I think it comes naturally when you do something one way for so long and then change it. Of course people are going to be a little unsure at first, she said. The pros are that we didn ' t lose one person to depledging this year. Other Pi Phis agreed the shortened program was successful. We always finished before Christmas break anyway, so the only thing we had to let lapse was the time span between the actual education and initiation, Nikki y Wunder, junior in finance, said. Jamie Congrove, junior in journalism and mass communicati ons, said older members were unsure how the shortened program worked. There was a lot of mixed opinion because some think that a semester (program) burns people out, she said. I didn ' t like it at first because when it was a semester long, it made you feel like you earned the right and responsibilities of being a Pi Phi. Congrove said although she did not like it at first, the new pledge program worked well. I was unsure how the shortened pledge program would go over because it is so important to understand the responsibilities of being a Pi Phi, she said. Our new initiates proved that our ideals and our respect as sisters really came through in 15 weeks because they upheld our ideals. A shortened pledge program was not the only thing nationals handed the chapter. Rogers, Kohlmeier and Amy Wortman, senior in elementary education, picked up three national awards for the chapter at a week-long national convention June 24-29 in Palm Springs, Calif. Rogers said they won awards for being one of the top Pi Phi chapters, having the best fraternity heritage and one of the top chapters in the past 10 years. The convention was rewarding for the individuals who attended, Rogers said. It was very educational because it really shows the direction greeks are going, she said. It ' s good because it makes you realize this isn ' t just something at K-State. Kohlmeier said the convention was worthwhile and educational. I wish people could see it, she said. We worked from 7:30 a.m. to 10:30 p.m. without breaks. It was a very tiring week, but it was exciting and I wish everyone in the house could go. 414 -Pi Beta Phi- Pi Beta Phi Hill Citi Boyd.

SO _____ Leneia SO beginning the school year, party on the beach U BY Maria Sherril Pi Kappa Alpha fraternity ' s seventh annual Beach Bash gave students the chance to have fun in the sun for charity ' s sake. The event, co-sponsored by the Alpha Gamma Rho fraternity, was Aug. 25-26 at Tuttle Creek ' s River Pond Area. The timing is good because everyone is looking to get the last bit of sun or show off their tans, John Schwein, senior in marketing, said. Everyone ' s energy is built up from the summer and this was something different. Beach Bash events included a volleyball tournament, canoe races, tug-of-war, an obstacle course and horseshoes. My favorite event was the tug-of-war, Chris Eckland, house president and junior in biology, said. Everyone was grunting with veins popping out of their necks. The philanthropy benefited Big Brothers Big Sisters of Manhattan. Kappa Kappa Gamma won the sorority division and Beta Theta Pi was the top fraternity. About $2,000 was raised through $50 entry fees and t-shirt and tank top sales. I think it kicks off the school year in a good way, By Maria Sherril especially to be involved in a philanthropy, Brett Carlgren, philanthropy chairman and junior in civil engineering, said. He estimated 1,500 people attended Beach Bash. We had a lot of participation, Carlgren said. All the sororities but two attended and about six or seven fraternities participated. The Pikes hoped the event ' s attendance would continue to increase each year. Nothing draws a crowd better than a crowd, Eckland said. The bigger it can get, the bigger it will be next year. It will build on itself. Each sorority was assigned two or three coaches who provided the teams with moral support. Early in the morning the coaches brought donuts to the sorority houses, Carlgren said. They act as mediators or just hold the sorority flag. Schwein, who helped plan the event, was an Alpha Xi Delta coach. We, as coaches for the volleyball game were laid back, he said. The girls were very serious but the whole thing was all in fun. -Pi Kappa Alpha- 4 1 9 TV I TT T 1 I Pi Kappa Phi Pillsbury.

SR after a 10-year break, Pi Kaps return to By Sara None of the Pi Kappa Phi fraternity members could remember the last time they participated in Homecoming. It had been 10 years. The most exciting part was just getting to do it, said Aaron Floersch, fraternity president and senior in management, said. We ' ve tried to do it and finally we got matched up last semester. In the spring, Sigma Sigma Sigma, Delta Chi, Phi Kappa Theta and the Pi Kapsjoined together to participate in Homecoming. Because of the long break from the event, members of the fraternity were ready to work. Aaron Green, senior in horticulture, participated in Homecoming festivities for the first time. Homecoming gave us some great exposure and helped morale, Green said. Everyone always gets down this time of year, but everyone was in a great mood and was willing to help out. But, the mood changed when their float was disqualified because it was not on campus or at a greek house for the judging. e scene h Kallenbach Maria Sherrill The group was also disqualified from the banner competition. Rumor was that we got disqualified because Willie the Wildcat was holding a tomahawk, Floersch said. The judges thought that was politically incorrect. The disqualification of the float and the banner did not take away from the experience, Green said. It didn ' t matter because it was all for fun, he said. Homecoming events helped get the Pi Kap name out on campus. We had a lot of comments about our jackets and other houses expressed their sympathy about the banner and the float, C.W. Harper, sophomore in mechanical engineering, said. Fun mixed with hard work in preparation for the body building competition, Green said. The group didn ' t place in any Homecoming events, members ended the week with positive attitudes. Everyone was freezing at Pant the Chant, but all the spirit they showed was great, Scott Kelly, freshman in kinesiology, said. It was so cold and everyone showed up. 420 -Pi Kappa Phi- Sigma Alpha Epsilon f Architectural Engineering Nicholson.

The 48th annual Flush Bowl competition between the SAEs and the Phi Delts included a kick-off party, football game, date party, all-university party and the crowning of a Flush Bowl queen. The fraternities did not have Flush Bowl in 1994 because they had difficulty finding a place that would comply with Interfraternity Council regulations, Brad Anderson, seniorin industrial engineering, said. Everybody I know that was out there really enjoyed it, Matt Krull, sophomore in business administration, said. It will keep going. Before resuming Flush Bowl, members talked with alumni about how the event used to rival Homecoming in popularity, Anderson said. They were pretty excited to hear we were continuing it (Flush Bowl), Anderson said. It ' s pretty hard to start up a tradition like the way it was back then. Although the Oct. 13 game ended in a tie, the SAEs took home the trophy a mounted porcelain toilet. We were pretty excited to hold onto the throne, It ' s pretty hard to start up a tradition like the way it was back then. Brad Anderson senior in industrial engineering By Heather Moiling sworth Anderson said. We displayed it in the living room for about a week, but our housemom didn ' t like it so we put it in storage. The event began on Thursday when the fraternities asked sororities for queen nominees. There was also a kick-off party at the SAE house. Friday night there was a date party at the Phi Delt house and the flag football game was Saturday at Blackjack Hills Recreation Area. Flush Bowl players could not have played for the K- State football team or their house intramural teams. I don ' t think they wanted it to be that organized, Krull said. They didn ' t want it to be the Phi Delt intramural team against the SAE intramural team. The game quickly became rough, he said. It was a pretty unorganized, wild game, Krull said. It started on the first play, a two-hand touch, and the rest of the game was tackle. The Flush Bowl queen, Sarah Dickason, sophomore in family studies and human services, was awarded a plunger during halftime. She was chosen based on her response to a series of questions and the crowd ' s response. It just comes down to whoever comes up with the most clever line, Lance Huggins, sophomore in food sciences, said. Flush Bowl helped the SAEs and Phi Delts, who were Homecoming partners, get to know each other before Homecoming, Krull said. 422 -Sigma Alpha Epsilon- Sigma Chi Morgan, Yicki Housemother Bal I ou .

FR Peterson, Mark lenexa Criminology FR sigma ctiis attain t G o a I with! national reco , The award sets forth the minimum recommen- dations. We use it as criteria and a guide. Justin Boisseau senior in finance For the third consecutive year, the local Sigma Chi fraternity won the Peterson Award, a national award named after former Sigs president Dwight Peterson. The award signified the chapter was one of the top Sig chapters in the nation and was the highest honor a chapter could achieve. It is used as a way to recognize outstanding chapters, Justin Boisseau, fraternity president and senior in finance, said. It gives chapters an opportunity to see where they rank. The fraternity concentrated on winning the award from the beginning of the school year, John Conely, senior in accounting, said. It is an extremely important award to win. We focus on it all year long, Conely said. It is a stringent award. You can only miss a few points and still win. Chad Gassen, junior in accounting, agreed the award was a focal point for the year. The award is always a goal once we start in the fall, he said. Right after we win we say let ' s start working for the next one. y Sarah Kallenbach Nationally, the fraternity had 226 chapters but the Peterson Award was only given to the leading fraternities. They give it out to around 10 percent of the chapters in the nation, Boisseau said. The award encompassed every aspect of the fraternity from member retention to community service. It was an 80 to 100 page application, Boisseau said. We submit everything from academics to intramurals. He said the fraternity used the award as a guide for what should be done during the year. The award sets forth the minimum recommendations. We use it as criteria and a guide, Boisseau said. For example, if the application says we need three alumni events, we make sure we have three alumni events. The Peterson Award was given in Grand Forks, N.D. at the fraternity ' s leadership workshop Aug. 9-11. Each undergraduate chapter sends two to six members, Conely said. You go to meetings and the award is given on the last night. Fraternity members felt personal rewards tor winning the award. It is big for us, when you look at the fraternities and the Greek system, Conely said. It is pretty important not only for alumni, but also for us personally. 424 -Sigma Chi- Sigma Chi Petty, Tim Industrial Engineering Petzold, Scott Engineering (tetter.

The five original founders of Sigma Kappa sorority were engraved in Theta Tau chapter history. During the summer, a brick sidewalk engraved with the national and chapter founders ' names and the founding date was constructed between the two sidewalks leading to the front door of the Sigma Kappa house. Originally, the Founders ' Walk was started to recognize the chapter ' s 1990 Alpha pledge class. However, the house wasn ' t finished by the time more classes were pledged, so the housing corporation decided to include more recent pledge classes in the project, Sarah Poe, seniorin elementary education, said. This was planned from the beginning by the national council to show who founded the house, Karen Looney, Theta Tau founding member and K-State alumna, said. It wasn ' t easy those first few years and this walk means a lot more to my pledge class than it probably does to those after us. The chapter was the only one with a walk of this kind, Amy Neises, senior in apparel and textile marketing, said. Sarah Poe senior in elementary education By Sarah Garner Members who pledged before spring 1994 had the opportunity to buy a brick. The individually purchased bricks were engraved with the purchaser ' s name and became a part of the walk, Neises said. Of approximately 125 chapter founders, 42 purchased bricks in the walk and 50 newer pledges also bought bricks. Each brick cost $50. That just went to pay for the bricks to be engraved and for the walk to be put in, Melissa Darger, sophomore in social sciences, said. That ' s why they cost that much. The walk, which cost $4,400, was built to preserve the sorority ' s history. It ' s just to remind us that we ' re the ones who made Sigma Kappa what it is at K-State, Darger said. It will be exciting because when I come back in 30 years I ' ll see my name. Poe said she bought a brick in the walk to show she had a part in the beginning of the chapter. I figured if my children ever came back, they would see my name, she said. It ' s going to be there forever. The walk was meaningful to the chapter ' s first members, Looney said. The walk means a great deal to the founders of the chapter. We fought hard to have it put in, she said. To have it in stone that we ' re at K-State and we ' re here to stay is very important to us. 426 -Sigma Kappa- journalism t Mass Con Hornback.

SO Sigma Lambda Gamma and Sigma Lambda Beta U II U J I C 1 k U III I Re one s By Heather Members of the Sigma Lambda Gamma sorority and the Sigma Lambda Beta fraternity focused on the future. The focus is off trying to legitimize the sorority, Debra Bratina, Sigma Lambda Gamma president and senior in education, said. We are trying to establish ourselves as an organization that is here to stay. Sigma Lambda Gamma received their charter in fall 1994 and Sigma Lambda Beta received their charter in spring 1995. The move from earning their charters to building strong foundations was challenging for the Hispanic organizations. When we were (establishing the chapter) we were real busy, Santos Jose Ramirez, Sigma Lambda Beta president and junior in political science, said. It kept us busy and now it ' s like we ' ve got that all done and we ' re focusing on what we can do next. The members of Sigma Lambda Beta said they looked forward to becoming a part of their chapter ' s history. It was a lot of hard work, Ramirez said, and I am excited because I know that we will be in our history here at K-State forever. He said the fraternity hoped to start a Hispanic scholarship fund and increase their numbers. Our traditions are more focused on community services and trying to help out Hispanics on campus and offer a support group, Ramirez said. Making traditions for the sorority was an enormous responsibility, Benitajackson, freshman in pre-health, said. Most other sororities have it in stone how their pledges go through the process, she said. Focusing on the future meant involvement It ' s an educational experience for everyone involved. By interacting with students, we break down stereotypes. Debra Bratina senior in education in at a time ollingsworth Jeremy Kelley Panhellenic Council and the Interfraternity council. Now we are a part of the greek scene but we are still very new and learning, Bratina said. If you want to make a difference, this is where to do it. Sigma Lambda Gamma joined Panhellenic Council in fall 1995 but the newness of the sorority and small numbers, 1 1 members, made participating in traditional greek events challenging. The Sigma Lambda Gammas were paired with their brother fraternity, Sigma Lambda Beta, for Homecoming activities. Because the combined group was only about 40 people, they were unable to participate in traditional greek Homecoming activities. We wanted to become involved in Homecoming but it ' s hard because of numbers, Jeannette Torres, junior in modern languages, said. It takes a lot of planning ahead of time. The group placed emphasis on completing smaller projects and building on those successes, Bratina said. We have to complete the projects we take on. If we don ' t, it sends out the message we aren ' t reliable, she said. We have to take baby steps. Eventually, the big projects will come our way. Small numbers also caused problems for members of Sigma Lambda Beta, who had not yet joined the Interfraternity Council. It ' s hard for us to do stuff with the other fraternities because they ' re so big and we ' re so small, Ramirez said. We ' re still going (to IFC meetings) on a trial basis to see what benefits they can give us or we can give to them. Both groups placed emphasis on helping Hispanic students succeed. It ' s an educational experience for everyone involved, Bratina said.

Sigma Nu and Chi Omega ' s Pledge Games Sept. 24 was an outdoor competition for new fraternity and sorority members. It was basically like a track meet, Tyson Needham, Sigma Nu philanthropy chairman and junior in business administration, said. There was a 100-meter dash, 400- meter relay, Softball toss, javelin throw and tug-of-war. To create opportunities to involve each participant, planning for Pledge Games began in the spring, Brent Johnson, house president and senior in architectural engineering, said. There are a few things that changed this year, Needham said. We shortened up the games. In the past we wouldn ' t get finished until five or six. This year we cut out the final events and finished by early afternoon. During August, members sent entry forms to houses, collected money and took t-shirt orders. The Chi Os helped with the t-shirt design, sponsors and the actual running of the event, Johnson said. Most of the money was made through t-shirt sales, Needham said. We took in over $1 1 ,000 and donated approximately $5,600 to the area Red Cross after expenses were taken out, he said. Each house paid a $75 entry fee to participate in Pledge Games. It was the largest money-making philanthropy on campus, but it did not raise as much By J.J Kuntz money as it had in the past, Needham said. I think too many things added to us not making as much money this year, he said. It was a little bit less than what we made last year because we didn ' t sell as many shirts and we used more money to purchase prizes. Participants collected points when they won an event and the houses that finished with the most points won prizes. Alpha Chi Omega and Tau Kappa Epsilon won Pledge Games. One event required participants to COIDDCtitJOn 311(1 YOU compete with the money in their pockets instead of in a physical activity. We hold a Mr. and Miss Pledge Games pageant, Needham said. The pageant is an added money-maker that has become really big in the sororities and has created some stiffcompetition. Each house nominated a candidate from their pledge class and students voted for their favorite candidate by putting money in cups placed in the K-State Student Union. The male and female candidates who collected the most money won the titles. Needham said every house participated in Pledge Games. I thought the games were well-run and I had a great time, Gavin Vaughn, freshman in biology, said. The best part was that there were so many people there and it was a great way to meet them through healthy competition. I ' d say that it was some fairly healthy didn ' t have to be good to have fun.

Sigma Phi Epsilon fraternity members resumed years of tradition when they rebuilt their late-night hang out. The Zappa Deli tradition began in 1985. A couple of guys a few years ago lived downstairs, Kevin Murdock, junior in park resources management, said. They used to come home from the bars, sit downstairs and make sandwiches, listen to Frank Zappa and sell the sandwiches to people late at night coming home from the bars. The room was called the Zappa Deli from then on, Murdock said. The Zappa grew in popularity and was moved into the previous Sig Ep chapter room in 1986, he said. It had turned into an after-hours place where Sig Eps would bring their friends over to drink after the bars closed at two, Dan Brooks, senior in education, said. Nationals didn ' t want Sig Ep to have that image so they tore the Zappa room down. The room was closed in 1992 and rebuilt during summer 1995, Brooks said. The new Zappa Deli was a recreational room with an electronic dart board, pool table, stereo, a counter and two couches, Murdock said. Sometimes the room was used for parties where, behind the counter, troughs for beer taps were set up. The first Zappa room looked like a night club because it was so dark. It was only lit with bar lights, Brooks said. It ' s a totally different atmosphere now. It ' s lit with fluorescent lights now, but I think in time the atmosphere will be more like it used to be. The renovations, financed by parents, were done by Sig Ep members, Murdock said. Money from our Dad ' s Weekend auction goes to our Mom ' s Club. Whatever the money goes towards for our house is decided by the Mom ' s Club, he said. They asked us what we wanted and we voted on the electronic dart board and the pool table. Although members did not know the originators of the Zappa, the traditions used to be taught to new members. As a pledge I remember having to read a small essay on the Zappa that was in the pledge book, Brooks said. An entire wall of the Zappa Deli was saved for members to sign on the reopening night in September. It was something we did to remember the first party in the new room, kind of like a christening, Murdock said. All members who attended the party signed the wall. Members also had a mural of Zappa that covered an entire wall of the renovated room, Murdock said. At the Frank Zappa Returns party a member dressed like Frank Zappa and showed up in a limo with body guards, Tucker Pierce, senior in education, said. Also, we all dressed in 70s clothes and signed the wall. Members saw the Zappa as more than a party room, Pierce said. I think it ' s helped the house a lot because it gives us a place to go instead of being in the individual rooms or going to Aggieville, he said. Especially for us out-of- house guys, it gives us a place to see the in-house guys. The Sig Eps were not worried about the Zappa Deli being torn down again. It will last forever if we take care of it because the house is proud of it, Pierce said. At the Frank Zappa Returns party a member dressed like Frank Zappa and showed up in a limo with body guards.

Mankato SR Dempsey, Interior Architecture policy changes give Tr i - S i gs a reason to party Bv I.IVKu A change in policy made parties safer and more fun for the Sigma Sigma Sigma sorority. During fall 1994, discussion began about changing the sorority ' s national alcohol policy that prohibited consumption of alcohol at functions, Becki Blankenship, house president and junior in education, said. We didn ' t think it (allowing drinking at functions) was going to happen but when it did, we were very excited, she said. We have a lot of high rules to follow now but 1 think they felt we were responsible enough. The Delta Phi chapter received information from another chapter looking for interest in changing the national dry-house policy, Cindy Moen, junior in elementary education, said. A Tri Sigma sorority in Louisiana sent out letters about the problems with pre-partying and the need for designated drivers, Megan Morehead, junior in elementary education, said. They recognized the need to move with the times. The dry-house policy was instated for all Tri Sigma chapters during the ' 80s, Morehead said. I think it was establishe d for reasons of liability, she said. There were also hopes to lower the risks associated with alcohol. The new alcohol policy, permitting consumption at functions, was passed in June during the Tri Sigma national convention. I think we were the only ones that were a dry house and had allowed no drinking at parties, Moen said. We have a lot of high rules to follow now By J.JVKuntz Changing our policy has made us more equal to the other houses. The new policy required each chapter to submit an outline of all planned social events to the national headquarters, one month in advance. The policy change also required extra precautions to be taken. It will cost us more money and getting police and designated drivers for the functions may be a pain, Morehead said. It ' s better than not doing anything about the problem at all. The first party affected by the policy was in the spring semester, Moen said. |jy| | |p|( tllCY fdt W6 I think it will be ultimately better, eliminating the pre-partying and making us less liable, Morehead said. There was some pre-partying that went on and now I don ' t think as much of it will. Our parties will also be a lot safer since people will not be tempted with driving. Members oflegal drinking age could stay at parties and drink without leaving for alcohol, Morehead said. Because of the new policy, more members would stay longer at parties. I think sororities and fraternities are associated with alcohol, so there is always some drinking that goes on through pre-partying, Morehead said. Now that we are allowed to have alcohol, I think we will become more responsible about it. yygpg Becki Blankenship junior in education -Sigma Sigma Sigma- 435 Sigma Sipa Sigma j j j Diethelm, Maija Hutchinson Pre-Health FR Escalante, Lynda Topeka Arts 8 Sciences SO Estes, Amy Dodge City Pre-Veterinary Medicine SO Goetz, Desha Lansing Sociology SO Groves, Heather Manhattan Pre-Health Professions FR Haines, Amy Wichita Human Ecology JR Heacock, Jennifer Overland Park Hotel Restaurant Mngt.

This was the first year all 1 1 sororities were involved in the Tau Kappa Epsilon Powder Puff Tournament, Justin Mitchell, house president and junior in chemical engineering, said. In the past, some sororities had not been involved for different reasons but this year we had 100 percent participation, Mitchell said. Preston Barton, junior in accounting, said the increased involvement was because fraternity members were more excited than in previous years. I think this year we were just more enthusiastic about advertising it and it has paid off, he said. We ' ve just been trying harder to get everyone involved. When someone is missing, it is just not as fun. Towards the end of the spring semester, TKE members visited all the sororities, recruiting teams for the powder puff program. We went around to all the houses earlier than usual and we gave them each a book about all the teams from the year before and they signed up within their house to become involved, Kurt McGuffm, senior in secondary education, said. After the sororities organized teams, TKE members divided into groups of three or four to coach the different By Chris Dean teams. Remaining members officiated the games, which took place at Griffith Park the first eight weeks of the fall semester. I think sororities like doing it because it lasts for eight weeks and is not just a weekend thing, McGuffin said. We ' re very fortunate that sororities take time to donate their money and time to our philanthropy. The tournament, which had been a tradition as long as the TKEs could remember, raised about $2 ,000 for their philanthropy, the Special Olympics. Barton said he was also impressed with the way the women played. The thing that is really impressive is how competitive the girls are, Barton, Pi Beta Phi coach, said. Because they don ' t really have a football background, it takes a while for them to learn at the start but they really get into it. At the end of the season, the Gamma Phi Beta team beat the Sigma Kappa team for first place in the final game, the Puff Bowl. Ever since powder puff started it has been something everyone has supported, Barton said. It ' s something we take pride in and get excited about.

Manhattan High contacted me about playing Twister at their graduation party, Toby Rush, junior in mechanical engineering, said. For their party graduation night, the graduates went to Ahearn Field House where the Theta Xis had set up the Twister game. We played twister with the graduates to keep them from drinking, Rush said. I didn ' t know how much they would get into it, but it was fun. The fun began three years ago when the fraternity decided to try a new philanthropy - Twistermania. We wanted to do something new and different, Chris Hansen, fraternity president and junior in nuclear engineering, said. The philanthropy market is a saturated one. Twistermania, an all-greek philanthropy, was annually scheduled for spring. The Theta Xi ' s portion of the proceeds benefited Habitat for Humanity and the rest of the money went to the sorority which co-sponsored the event. We tape 50 mats together and make a huge square, Chad Long, junior in pre-medicine, said. We have a dial and just get as many people out there as possible. Rush said the fraternity added to the event every year. There was always room to improve always needing more participation and providing enough entertainment for those who get out, he said. Long said Twistermania was one way for the fraternity to become involved in the community and have a good time. We want to raise a lot of money and raise awareness about our philanthropy and have lots of fun, Long said.

Kuntz SjHeather Hollingswortli Despite pressures of small numbers and economic strains, members fought to rebuild Triangle fraternity. Things happened this year, morale is up and we ' ve had three parties we thought were really good, Zac Bailey, senior in biological and agricultural engineering, said. We got everyone involved this year and excited about doing things together as a house. Alumni and members came up with a number of men they hoped to have living in house next fall, Jeff Geist, senior in geology, said. We need to have 20 guys in the house next fall to pay the bills, Bailey said. If we can meet them (goals), it ' s a good indication we will be able to do things we need to be successful. Triangle ' s financial burdens hurt them because they did not have many members living in the house, Geist said. New leadership helped increase involvement and excitement among Triangle members. When my pledge brothers and I came in, we said we wanted to make some changes, Tim Danner, rush h chairman and junior in architectural engineering, said. We are trying to get ourselves to a better status. Fraternity members thought they would have enough live-in members in the future but attaining their goals meant attracting pledges, Bailey said. He said members knew what needed to be done to keep the fraternity alive. We would like to see 25 to 30 guys in the house, be more active in intramurals and events on campus, he said. Although they hoped to recruit members interested in becoming involved and living in the house, the physical house was not as important to the members as staying together. The house is just an object and the chapter will exist, Danner, said. It (losing the house) would give us a chance to regather ourselves and regroup, to kind of have a fresh start and come back in a couple of years stronger than ever.

Jared Bohndorf junior in technology management They may have been too big to sit on Santa ' s lap but that did not stop residents of K-State Salina ' s residence hall from getting their pictures taken with him. The Salina residence hall had a Christmas party for its residents Dec. 10. Roger Steinbrock, admissions representative at K-State Salina, dressed as Santa Glaus and made an appearance at the party. Having Santa at a college dorm party was kind of goofy but a lot of people liked it, Jared Bohndorf, junior in technology management, said. Santa ' s visit was not the only surprise residents received at the Christmas party. After Thanksgiving break we sent letters to all the residents ' parents and asked them to send us a $5 gift for their child, Jake Greenup, director of student life at K- State Salina, said. Greenup said all but 15 to 20 parents sent in gifts. The students without gifts from their parents were given a small K-State jar filled with candy. n Students appreciated that the presents were from their families. It was good to have the parents send in presents because kids didn ' t just get something dorky but actually something they might have wanted, Toby Ceselski, junior in computer science technology, said. After opening gifts, the residents sang carols. The caroling was really unique because it ' s hard to get 90 people to sing Christmas carols, Sharon Niehues, sophomore in computer and information sciences, said. Greenup estimated that of the 90 people in the hall about 65 attended the party. There was a pretty big turnout because they said everyone would get something and they had free food, Bohndorf said. Ian Sammis, junior in mechanical engineering technology, said he enjoyed the party because he had not expected the gifts. They didn ' t tell anyone about the gifts. They just put up posters announcing there was going to be free food at a Christmas party, he said. I had no idea about the presents so it was a neat surprise. 442 -Salina- Off Campus Abitz, Brenda Emmett Marketing SR Abitz, Chad Onaga journalism ( Mass Comrn [I Acuna, Tomas San Jose, Costa Rica Biological A Agricultural Eng.

Empty beer bottles and Party Balls did not always go into the trash can. They were sometimes used as apartment decorations. Chris Bloom, junior in construction science and management, said he and his roommates started taking beer bottles home from bars and turned them into permanent fixtures. We ' ve just got a great place for the stuff, he said. We put our beer bottles on a shelf and we also have a Party Ball made into a swag lamp downstairs. Rob Cox, sophomore in hotel and restaurant management, said he and his three roommates began bringing bottles home with the idea of creating a collection. We thought it would be neat to have a bottle of everything, Cox said. We ' re still working on that. Lonniejohnston, Dean ' s Liquor employee and senior in accounting, said he and his roommates began collecting different beer bottles without an objective. We have eight shelves built into the wall where we put the bottles, he said. We ' ve been collecting since August and our goal has become to get a certain number of beers from each country. Johnston estimated he and his by sarah garner roommates had collected 90 bottles. The cost would average out to be probably about a dollar a bottle, so I ' d say there ' s well over a hundred dollars in the collection, Johnston said. The most expensive bottle was six dollars. Bruce Kinney, Cox ' s roommate and sophomore in business administration, said they had about 30 hard liquor and beer bottles combined. Johnston said he and his roommates only collected beer paraphernalia because there were so many different beer brands. I have a great big St. Pauli girl standing in my living room, he said. We have a lot of displays and posters and two neon signs. We don ' t keep Party Balls but we do have a wall of five empty kegs. We keep them so we don ' t have to leave a deposit when we go to get kegs. The alcohol bottles were conversation starters, Bloom said. Most people look at all the bottles when they come over, he said. When they see a unique brand they ' ve never heard of, they.want to know where they can get it. Empty alcohol bottles were inter- esting items to collect, Johnston said. I think it ' s a neat thing to do while you ' re in college, he said. I don ' t know what I ' ll do with the collection when I leave. Somebody will definitely have to inherit it. cm Lonnie Johnston, senior in accounting, sits in front of his beer bottle collection. Johnston and his roommates tried to collect a certain number of bottles from each country. They kept their collection in a set of built- in book shelves. Johnston, an employee of Dean ' s Liquor, had several posters and alcohol displays such as the cut-out of the St. Pauli girl. He also owned neon beer signs and a wall of empty kegs.

Remaining under their parents ' roof while attending college could be advantageous. I decided to live at home, Mandy Springer, freshman in kinesiology, said. I thought it was stupid to pay to live in the dorms and belong to the (sorority) house when I lived in Manhattan already. Tammy Linenberger, junior in pre-occupational therapy, discovered living at home had advantages. I ' m from Manhattan, so it ' sjust more convenient. I ' m applying to occupational therapy school in the fall, too, she said. I might be living in another state soon, so I ' ll need the money I have saved. Linenberger said she planned to live in her sorority spring semester to get a taste of living away from home. I like living at home, but I feel like I ' m ready to move out on my own, she said. I ' m ready to try things on my own and I need to do it before I move to another state and I ' m totally on my own. Eric Beikmann, freshman in secondary education, said his parents suggested he live at home his first year of college or they would not provide as much financial support. Living at home helped him adapt to college. For the first year, living at home helped me to adjust, Beikmann said. It was easier to adjust to college because I didn ' t have to face all the changes at once. Beikmann said it was more difficult to concentrate when studying at home. It ' s harder to study because there are so many distractions, he said. It ' s not as easy to just leave and go to the library or someplace else. For Linenberger, studying at home was convenient because people did not bother her and break her concentration. It ' s nice because it ' s quiet when I want to study, she said. It ' s also private because I have my own room. Beikmann, who planned to live in a fraternity house in fall 1 996, said living at home had social drawbacks. Overall it ' s fun, but I don ' t get to interact with a lot of people like I would in a dorm or a fraternity because I don ' t live with a lot of people, he said. Springer said she sometimes found living away from campus inconvenient . She planned to live in her sorority in fall 1996. It ' s hard not living close to campus and trying to find a parking spot and if I want to see my friends I have to drive to the dorms on campus, she said. Sometimes I think it would be nice if we had the money for me to live in the dorms, but even if we did, I don ' t know if I would because I don ' t think I could live like that. Although they lived at home with their parents, Springer and Linenberger said their mothers did not always do their laundry or cook for them. I do my own laundry, Linenberger said. My mom doesn ' t cook very often. She ' ll cook supper when we ' re there, but we usually make our own lunch. She said her parents were usually understanding about her social life but she still had to follow some rules. If a lot of my friends are going out on a Thursday night, I really can ' t, she said. My parents have guidelines I have to follow. Springer did not have the same problems with her parents. My parents are real lenient, she said. I don ' t have a curfew and all my friends like to come out here to visit. I can stay at people ' s houses on weekends and my parents don ' t care. They don ' t care if people stay here either. I have the same freedom as in an apartment or a dorm, I just don ' t pay the money.

It is my only chance to get the news, Patrice Lewerenz, Salina resident and senior in geology, said. I was able to start my day with some idea of life on the outside. To receive an education commuters made the daily drive to Manhattan. The gas is very expensive, Wanda Gattshall, Abilene resident and senior in life sciences, said. It cost me about $100 a month at least. To help make commuting more affordable, Lewerenz car pooled each semester. I have a fairly fuel- efficient car, she said. Alternating times that I drove also helped to mitigate the cost. Adult Student Services helped find commuters car-pooling partners. Nancy Bolsen, director of Adult Student Services, said during the fall semester their office found 14 students commuting partners. If they are in the same class it makes the ride beneficial, Lewerenz said. We would read to each other or discuss the class. Although she had not calculated her hours spent on the highway, Lewerenz said she would probably be amazed at the time she lost to commuting. It is hundreds of hours, she said. Just for the winter intercession I spent 20 hours on the highway. The furthest distances students traveled were from Students from as far away as Hugoton, 3 1 4 miles away from Manhattan, commuted back and forth from K-State on a daily basis. (Photo Illustration by Darren Whitley) Hugoton, 3 1 4 miles away from Manhattan, and Scott City, 261 miles away, Bolsen said. Because they could not quickly run home if they forgot something for a class, students who commuted had to be organized. I have only left a report at home once, Thomas said. It wasn ' t a problem because I faxed the paper to the professor. Some problems were out of commuters ' control. The weather can be a real pain, Lewerenz said. It took me one hour just to get to the interstate to drive to Salina. There were a few people in the ditch. Gattshall said car trouble was more hindering than the weather. I had to come home in between classes so my husband could work on my car, she said. I didn ' t miss any classes but it was an inconvenience. Commuters faced daily hassles and inconveniences other students were unaware of. I don ' t think people understand the stress of commuting, Gattshall said. I have to make sac rifices to get an education. One mile from Abilene, Lewerenz ' s car broke down while she was on her way home from an evening test. It was dark, rainy and cold, she said. I walked to the exit where there is a Dairy Queen and called my husband. Students who commuted had to forfeit sleep and time spent with their families. Alice Thomas, Abilene resident and senior in family studies and human services, said she chose to commute instead of move to Manhattan because Abilene ' s cost of living was lower. It (commuting) takes a couple extra hours out of my day up by 5 a.m. and to bed between 10 and midnight, she said. Thomas said her only choice was to commute not only to receive an education but also to become a role model to family members. I like to think I ' m an inspiration to my grandchildren that their grandmother is going back to school, she said. 450 -Off Campus- Off Campus Fricke, Beth Overland Park Journalism Mass Comm.

SO 452 -Off Campus- Off Campus students stay home a n dl I e a r ourrnet m Tequila lime chicken was usually only served in fine restaurants but one student prepared it in his own kitchen. My favorite concoction that I have come up with is tequila lime chicken, Jordan Kidd, senior in construction science and management, said. I just add a splash of tequila, a bit of lemon juice and a splash of Tabasco sauce. OfF-campus students took time to cook the meals they enjoyed. My favorite dish is chicken with white wine sauce on curried rice, Chris Richmond, graduate student in music, said. It takes about an hour to prepare. Student cooks shared their gourmet dishes with others. The past Christmas I cooked a pot of chicken frittata for a party, Richmond said. My girlfriend always says ' So what are you going to cook for me? ' ' Kidd and Jill Conrad, sophomore in elementary education, said they liked to spend time cooking with their roommates. More often we cooked for ourselves, Conrad said. When our schedules allowed it we cooked together and it was a lot of fun. Student cooks prepared meals in different ways. Some students experimented with ingredients to satisfy their own taste buds. I usually cook through trial and e rror, Kidd said. It is fun to experiment and trade advice on spices with my roommates. Conrad said she cooked with her mom at home, which helped her learn to prepare meals on her own. By Maria Sherrill My favorite is an enchilada dish, she said. I got that recipe from my mom but most of the time I just try to wing it without recipes. Trial and error cooking was not the right process for everyone. Recipes were more dependable and did not require as much cooking knowledge. It is easy to cook with recipes, Richmond said. I just pick a cookbook and read the ingredients. The internet was one source that provided him with recipes. I found a whole mess of cooking sites on the internet, Richmond said. I found pasta with shrimp and artichokes last week that I am going to cook tonight. Leftovers provided student cooks with an easy way to save time and money. I make homemade macaroni and cheese and other casseroles that are good to eat as leftovers, Conrad said. I just freeze them and heat them up for another meal. She said it was less expensive to cook a meal than to eat at a restaurant. When I splurge and go out to eat, I think of all the groceries I could have bought, she said. I ' m not quite sure how much I save, but I know it (cooking) is cheaper. Kidd said he chose to cook his meals because it was healthier than eating fast food. I spent about $30 a week on groceries, he said. Personally, I think it is better to eat right than to pinch pennies.

SO i -Off Campus- 455 Students short on cash used stolen Department of Housing and Dining Services china and silverware to furnish apartments and residence hall rooms. Athough china and silverware theft was common, theft had declined from previous years. Housing and Dining Services had considered banning backpacks from the dining centers in the future to reduce theft. (Photo illustration by Darren Whitley) 456 -Off Campus- Off Campus dining centers n pa |tO| furnish Q tudents who furnished their apartments and residence U hall rooms with items from the dining centers cost the Department of Housing and Dining Services thousands of dollars. We don ' t really have any hard and fast figures on theft but I think we can get a fairly good estimate based on how much we break and how much more we replace, Mark Edwards, Derby Food Center unit director, said. Replacing silverware and china cost between $ 1 2,000 and $14,000 in 1995, John Pence, director of dining services, said. I would hope the majority is accounted for by breakage but it is really hard to say, he said. First-time apartment residents frequently dined on stolen tableware from the dining centers. We have a complete kitchen utensil set (from the dining center) plates, bowls, spoons everything short of the trays, Jeremy Smith, first year apartment resident and junior in electrical engineering, said. Last year we were trying to decide how we would come up with all the stuffneeded to live in an apartment. We saw a valuable commodity at our fingertips and lo ' and behold we came up with some silverware. The theft and breakage added up. In 1995, Housing and Dining Services replaced about 1,200 dinner plates, 1 ,2 00 soup bowls and 3,000 pieces of silverware, Edwards said. To replace a table setting dinner plate, vegetable dish, cereal bowl, coffee cup, tea saucer, dessert plate and silverware cost about $20, Edwards said. Pence said he had encountered stolen dining center goods outside the residence hall setting. I can tell you I have seen our dinnerware out at students ' apartments. I have seen it for sale at garage sales and I have gone to garage sales and seen it there and I have told them that I am going to take it because it doesn ' t belong to them, Pence said. I guess what I can ' t imagine is why would anyone want to eat offof it? I mean it ' s heavy commercial china. Students short on cash were not bothered by dining on the heavy china. We have silverware spoons, forks and knives and salt and pepper shakers (from Derby), Mike Dunn, junior in business administration, said. It helps save us from doing dishes. By Heather Holling sworth Silverware theft preparations were minimal and profitable, Dunn said. Wear something with pockets in it, like a pullover, he said. Then you put it in the pockets and leave. Smuggled goods became a sign of victory for student thieves. I think it ' s kind of a challenge. You go down to these bars and they have these glasses with their names on them or something, Pence said. Kids try and figure out a way to get them out of there, you know, for decoration. Edwards agreed silverware theft was not an issue unique to Housing and Dining Services. I think probably the restaurant industry in general experiences that problem, Edwards said. Those red plastic tumblers from Pizza Hut are kind of a trademark thing. You see those all over the place. China theft from the dining centers was on the decrease, Pence said. It used to be a complete place setting for every student every year, Pence said. I think now we are doing less than that. I think it ' s like 50 percent (replacement rate). Officials had considered banning backpacks from the dining centers. One of the preventative measures we will look at in the future is to have a rule where backpacks have to be checked at the door or downstairs, Edwards said. Housing and Dining Services attempted to recover stolen items at the end of the year by placing boxes for the china and silverware in hall lobbies. We get the boxes pretty well filled up with stuff the kids have just taken over there, Edwards said. I don ' t think in their minds they see that as theft. Plates and china were not the only commodities stolen from Housing and Dining Services. An empty fish tank prompted Jodi Mathews, sophomore in business administration, to take matters into her own hands and fill it. I was sitting in the lobby of the dorm and was telling my friend how we had a fish tank in our room without any fish and then it was like a call from God there was a fish tank behind me, she said. We have a complete kitchen utensil set - , bowls, everything short of the trays. Jeremy Smith Junior in electrical engineering -Off Campus- 457 Off Campus Leonard, Scott Basehor Park Resources Mngt.

This was one of 15 classified advertisements that ran in the Collegian the first week of fall classes. When unexpected problems occurred, students turned to classified ads to find that needed roommate. Wes Briggs, senior in accounting, left for Germany in May thinking his housing situation for the upcoming school year was set in stone, he said. Briggs planned to rent a house with three other students; Matt Wilkerson, sophomore in sociology; Jason Peffly, junior in biology; and Kyler Carpenter, senior in elementary education. The landlord promised they were first on a list of potential renters, so Briggs left money for the deposit with one of his roommates, Briggs said. I was really excited to come back and move into a place like that, Briggs said. It was a nice house where we ' d have a lot of room and everybody would have their own space. However, before returning to Manhattan, he discovered his housing situation was anything but concrete. The landlord had decided to rent the house to someone else, Briggs said. I had found out we weren ' t going to get that place about three weeks before I got home, Briggs said. I definitely started to worry because I knew I was going to have to start looking for a place. The roommates scrambled to find a house because it was the middle of July and their apartment lease expired July 31. Because the housing situation with the other three roommates was uncertain, Carpenter had renewed a contract with his landlord in May. The remaining roommates found a three-bedroom house and signed a lease for 1516 Pipher Lane. Because of the lack of timeliness we had to settle on a house instead of choose, Briggs said. After signing the lease, Peffly said he had problems By Heather Hollings worth with the landlord and the rent, which was $750 plus utilities, so he found other housing arrangements. Briggs and Wilkerson began searching for a third roommate through a Collegian ad, Briggs said. They entered the search with a male roommate in mind but Heather Rohr, sophomore in arts and sciences, was the first to respond to the advertisement. The roommates immediately offered her the room. Before moving into the house on Pipher Lane, Rohr had also scrambled to find a place to stay. She had planned to rent a house with several friends, but they backed out at the last minute. Going into it I think that I would have preferred having a male roommate, Briggs said. Heather has worked out really well and I ' m glad to have her as a roommate. We were kind of expecting to have a male roommate, so she was kind of a surprise. A final glitch altered the roommates ' plans. After Rohr moved into the house, Wilkerson moved to Emporia to be closer to his girlfriend. He was unable to find someone to fill the lease and was forced to pay his portion of the rent while he was in Emporia. I was hoping I wouldn ' t have to pay it the whole semester, Wilkerson said, but it didn ' t work out. Completing the circular roommate cycle, Carpenter took over Wilkerson ' s rent Jan. 1. Briggs predicted a third roommate would change the house ' s atmosphere. It will definitely be different with three of us, Briggs said. There is a big, big difference. I ' m kind of curious myself to see how this all works out. Although finding a roommate through the classified ads would not work for everyone, Briggs said he recommended the experience. I think it works, he said. It is one of the best ways to let people know you need a roommate. It is one of the best ways to let people know you need a roommate. Wes Briggs senior in accounting -Off Campus- 461 Off Campus off-campus students nightmares 1 feel like I have become a lot wiser on renting. Take your time, look things over and get things in writing. Michelle Lemons junior in horticulture Student renters ' dreams turned to nightmares when houses fell to pieces and unsafe conditions caused health problems. During a three-day rainstorm at the beginning of the fall semester, a small portion of Michelle Lemons ' roof caved in. The landlord sent over a roofing guy who put some tar here and there, Lemons, junior in horticulture, said. They just stuck a piece of a board up. They never even painted it. In addition to the roof caving in, her shower and toilet leaked into the bedroom below, the ice box did not freeze and the house was infested with mice and roaches, Lemons said. When we told the landlord we had mice, he gave us three or four traps and said ' That should fix it, ' ' she said. Lemons and her seven roommates also had problems with their landlord ' s billing process. He wasn ' t paying the bills on time so KCPL (Kansas City Power and Light) was charging a late fee, which he was trying to pass on to us without telling us, Lemons said. We were getting disconnection notices from them and twice they tried to disconnect us. After that, the roommates asked to receive copies of their bills directly from the landlord. Problems with the house reeked havock on Lemons ' relationship with her roommates. We are trying to patch all this back together, Lemons said. Because it ' s really ruined my friendships with my friends. I feel really responsible because I helped find this house. Lemons said she learned several rental lessons from her unfortunate experience. I feel like I have become a lot wiser on renting, Lemons said. Take your time, look things over and get things in writing. Paulette Pleasant, junior in food and nutrition- exercise science, experienced a housing situation that caused health problems. I was sick the whole semester with a bad headache, Pleasant said. I was tired and getting sick vomiting. They never knew why. The cause of her health problems was a furnace venting carbon monoxide into the house. However, the house was a mess from the start, By Heather Hollings worth Pleasant said. When we moved in August we didn ' t have a toilet or a shower, Pleasant said. It was filthy dirty. We didn ' t have any hot water in our kitchen. The roof leaked. We didn ' t have central air and we didn ' t have any screens on our windows, so we couldn ' t open the windows. While the roommates were without a place to live they stayed with friends, Pleasant said. Basically, we had paid rent on a place that was uninhabitable, Pleasant said. We lived in the house more than a month before the things that make a house livable were fixed. Prior to moving in, the three roommates had felt confident about their choice, she said. He was in the midst of redoing it when Megan (McGrath, junior in animal science and industry), my roommate, looked at it, so she said ' Hey this guy is all right, she said. We were way too trusting. Rental laws allow renters five days from the date of possession to terminate their lease agreement for failure to comply with the terms of the lease, Scott Smith, director of Consumer and Tenant Affairs, said. Smith recommended finding other arrangements if a landlord started out on a bad note. If it ' s not the way you like it when you move in, find some other place, Smith said. It ' s not a good sign. More than likely he ' s probably not going to fix something later on down the line. Problems with the furnace caused temperatures to plummet to 48 degrees on a cold day. To combat the cold the roommates bought a space heater, piled on blankets and even kept the oven door open in the evenings, Pleasant said. However, once Pleasant began experiencing headaches and nausea, she missed numerous days of work. She went to the doctor and he could not diagnose the cause of her illness. These were headaches that would keep you in bed and I didn ' t know (they were from the fumes) but it did me no good staying in bed, Pleasant said. When the roommates moved out at the beginning of January, they smelled gas and called KCPL. The minute they walked in, they opened all the windows and shut off the gas, Pleasant said. After the problem was discovered, the house was condemned. The really scary thing is we were using the space heater and leaving the oven open when the furnace was leaking, Pleasant said. It ' s really scary to think the house could have blown up. 462 -Off Campus- Off Campus Parker, Chad ..

SR 466 -Off Campus Off Campus lugging dirty loads laundry adventures D LJ A t t U A v Unllin rriu iv Braving the cold to wash piles oflaundry was just part of the off-campus package. It ' s kind of a pain getting out, especially in the winter, Terri Harris, senior in modern languages, said. It ' s the worst. I ' d just rather stay home. Students devised creative ways to lessen the amount of stuff they lugged to Laundromats. Instead of taking an entire box oflaundry detergent, I just put out how many scoops I am using and put them in plastic baggies, Harris said. But the clothes are still a pain. Cost was one inconvenience of Laundromats. Lance Hoenie, junior in mechanical engineering, estimated he spent about $6 a week on laundry. For those willing to wear flannels and jeans more than once, the cost could be reduced. Keith Schneweis, graduate student in electrical engineering, estimated he spent $14 a month at the Laundromat. There was no clear-cut advantage among the different laundry establishments, Hoenie said. I think every place in town is about $1 to wash and 50 cents to dry. The prices are all about the same. Hoenie said. I think the difference is how clean the places are and the location. Being able to use more than one washer at once was a definite advantage to Laundromats, Hoenie said. You get the whole thing done in an hour and a half versus if you have one washer and one dryer then it ' s going to take all day because you have four or five loads and each load is going to take an hour and a half, he said. You can kind of overlap them but you are still looking at five hours. Paying by the load made students more energy conscious, Harris said. I think I would really waste a lot of water if I had my own (laundry facilities) --just washing separate loads, Harris said. When you have to pay for it separately, you use your money wisely and wait until you have an average size load. By Heather Hollings worth Although no time was a good time to do laundry, some times were less busy than others, Hoenie said. Usually it ' s (good to do laundry) on a Sunday afternoon before a football game or Saturday before football games, Hoenie said. You ' ve got to have your priorities in order. Other students waited until they ran out of clean clothes. Schneweis said he usually waited to do laundry until he had no underwear or socks left. Probably the worst is one time I didn ' t want to do laundry, so I just bought more socks, he said. Keeping occupied while the socks and jeans spun in the dryer was not a problem for students who used the time to balance checkbooks and catch up on reading. However, the environment was too hectic for intensive studying, Hoenie said. You really don ' t start thinking calculus or physics or whatever you are working with it takes you about a half an hour to get into the mind set and then of course in a half an hour you ' ve got to change (the laundry) out of the washer and put it in the dryer, Hoenie said. Large commercial dryers came with their own set of problems. My bras always get stuck in the dryer, so you have to climb in after them, Harris said. They always get attached to them in the back. I ' ve had to climb in a couple times and disconnect them. Schneweis said although he did not have trouble with losing clothing, he still dreaded trips to the Laundromat. I ' m the absolute worst person at doing laundry, he said. I throw it in one washer and one dryer and get out of here as quick as I can and I don ' t buy anything I can ruin. My bras always get stuck in the dryer, so you have to climb in after them. Terri Harris senior in modem languages -Off Campus- 467 Off Campus - sacrificing comforts of residence halls, TFreshmen 1 gam independence V. A. by H P a t h P r Hollinaiworth Finally on their own, half of the first-year students chose to make their homes off campus. Although residence halls recruited a larger percentage of freshmen than last year, 2,000 of the 4,000 first-year students chose to live off campus in the fall, Boh Burgess, assistant director of the business operations department of Housing and Dining Services, said. After having his own room for 18 years, Travis Aggson, freshman in business administration, said he preferred an apartment to residence hall restrictions. It ' s more like liv ing on your own than living in a hall with a bunch of guys and having a residence hall mom look over you, he said. It ' s a lot more fun, because you get to make all your own meals. Aggson said adjusting to life on his own was not too over- whelming. It hasn ' t been much of an adjustment, he said. I lived in a big family and we all had our own schedules. We weren ' t all home at the same time, so we cooked our own meals. However, paying bills was a challenge for Aggson and his roommate Dusty Parker, freshman in environmental design. They took advantage of discounts offered by AT T and Sprint for changing phone companies. I had never figured out a phone bill in my life, Aggson said. We had all these deals. We switched companies three or four times. Living in an apartment did have drawbacks, he said. I have friends in fraternities and they say they are meeting all these people, Aggson said. Sometimes it (living in an apartment) is a disadvantage. An independent personality and the need to work motivated Charles Kurtz, freshman in business Living on his own for the first time, Travis Aggson, freshman in business administration, and his roommates changed long distance companies several times in order to take advantage of the savings. (Photo illustration by Darren Whitley) By Heather Hollingsworth administration, to move into an apartment after high school graduation. He said he wanted to establish his independence by living in Manhattan year round and licensing his car in Manhattan. It ' s kind of a way of saying, ' I ' m on my own now. I ' ve moved out, ' Kurtz said. His parents paid his rent and he paid the remaining living expenses with the money he earned working at Sears. Having a year-round Manhattan residence was an employment advantage for Kurtz. Usually when school is out you ' ve got to quit, he said. This way you don ' t have to look tor a job all the time. In spite of his independence, Kurtz said there were disadvantages to off-campus living. You just don ' t meet as many people living off campus, he said. It was one of the things I weighed in my decision. Kurtz ' s comments echoed those of other off-campus freshmen. Off-campus students report they feel more out of touch with the campus, Shah Hasan, assistant director of the residence life department of Housing and Dining Services, said. We know that students who live in the halls feel very connected to the University - geographically and emotionally. The freedom of college life could be overwhelming for first-year students, he said. We know that when you yank a 1 7- or 1 8-year- old student away from the social fabric of high school, family and neighborhood and drop them come hill right smack in the middle of a brand new university, with brand new expectations, lots and lots of anxiety and separation from their caregivers, then residence halls or any type of organized living is the first place you can belong to, Hasan said. A smaller percentage of freshmen who were academically dismissed came from residence halls rather than other living situations, Hasan said. I would probably study a lot more (in the residence halls), Parker said. In an apartment it ' s too easy to put stuff off. Although pleased with his living arrangements, he said living off campus as a freshman was not the right decision for everyone. In the dorms you meet a lot more people, Parker said. If you don ' t know a lot of people, I would suggest living in the dorms. Plus, it ' s a lot closer to campus. 468 -Off Campus- Off Campus Taggart, Toby Wakaruia Civil Engineering Jl Tan, Boon-Shiong Skudai, Malaysia Electrical Engineering SR Tangeman. jada Topeka Elementary Education Jt Thies, Thurston Manhattan Elementary Education Jit Thomas, Katie Manhattan Agricultural Journalism SR Thomas, Nicole Kansas City, Kan.

(Photo by Cary Conover) Off Campus tips on living cheap i help students solve money By Chris Dean The fridge was empty, rent was due and the gas company their monthly payment. It was time for some creative thinking. How to save money? Students who lived on their own faced problems unfamiliar to those who lived with their parents. It ' s a big difference from living at home, Anne Gibbins, senior in early childhood education, said. There are no living expenses living at home and Mom and Dad pay for food and stuff. I also don ' t have to use my car as much. When forced to pay the bills themselves, students invented money-saving tactics. Between the cost of the apartment and all the bills, it all adds up, David Droegemueller, junior in chemical engineering, said. The best thing is to keep the air off as much as possible and use fans and keep the heat low in the winter. Other money-saving tips included using coupons and buying generic food brands. Pasta ' s cheap and so are no-name brands. Frozen pizza is too, Al Galvin, junior in park resources management, said. It ' s not healthy but it ' s cheap. Besides being careful of what they purchased, students were also careful about where they did their grocery shopping. I compared the different grocery stores to see which were cheaper, Gibbins said. I get certain things at Food 4 Less and other stuff at Aldi ' s. I also buy a lot with coupons and watch for sales in the newspapers. Not everyone was successful staying within a budget. My roommates last year had several credit cards and they were all maxed out, Gibbins said. It ' s very easy to just whip that card out, but they are really bad. Galvin found a way to stay out of credit trouble. I only have one credit card and it is for emergency purposes only, he said. Food bills were not the only places to cut costs. Students decreased their number of long-distance phone calls per month and found alternative ways to communicate. I have two friends who I keep in contact with through e-mail. One in Wisconsin and one in Miami, Aimee Poison, senior in agronomy, said. I told my mother and grandmother and one friend of mine to get it. So far I ' m still waiting. Sarah Buri, junior in architecture, found another creative way to save on phone bills. My boyfriend is from out of town but he has a cellular phone with a Manhattan number, so it is cheaper for us to call each other, she said. Other students found a simpler approach have someone else pay for the phone call. I let my parents call me if they want to talk to me, Galvin said, and I ' ll tell you one thing never have a girlfriend out of town. ' It ' s a big difference from living at home. There are no living living at Mom and Dad for food and stuff. Anne Gibbins senior in early childhood education -Off Campus- 471 472 -Ads Index- ads ft index.

Students came together on and offcampus to hear the verdict of the 13-month OJ. Simpson trial. Simpson, a former football star accused of murdering his ex- wife, Nicole Brown Simpson, and her COMMON CORE. friend, Ronald Goldman on June 12, 1994, was acquitted by a jury Oct. 2. The televised trial received national attention and was dubbed the trial of the century by many. The nation ' s attention also focused on 20,000 U.S. troops sent to Bosnia in November. The troops formed the core of a peacekeeping force to help end conflicts between the Serbs, Croats and Bosnian Muslims. By the end of January, the forces began withdrawing from the zones of separation in Bosnia. Meanwhile, concerned parents and loved ones found common ground while awaiting the return of American forces. For the first time, students returning early from winter break could stay in their own residence hall rooms. Although all nine halls remained open, the only operating desks were those in Haymaker, Marlatt and Van Zile halls. In February, student attention turned to the women ' s basketball team. In what could have been one of their best seasons ever, the team had to forfeit the core of their season because of an NCAA violation. Coach Brian Agler, who was suspended along with six players, (Continued on page 512) 510 -Closing- Six foot concrete blocks jut out of the concrete that forms the bottom of the Tuttle Creek Outlet, commonly known as the Tubes.

After 13 years of broadcasting for K-State, Mitch Holthus resigned his position as the radio play-by-play Voice of the Wildcats in March. In the past two years, Holthus had seven jobs, including endorsements for Briggs Jeep Eagle and announcing for the Kansas City Chiefs. Change was also on the State Legislature ' s agenda. A bill passed CORE. by the U.S. Congress gave individual states the power to alter speed limits. In Kansas, the legislature set the limit at 70 mph on interstates or divided highways, 65 mph on improved roads and 55 mph on county roads. The law was enacted March 22. A fire started by children led to the burning of 15 to 20 acres of the Konza Prairie March 10. Part of the damage was to a barn on K-State property. Bringing a close to traditions, change became commonplace and through it all, students found stability in the K-State common core. 512 -Closing- I
