Lines of men wrapped around Dara ' s Fast Lane on Claflin Road Aug. 27 as they waited to have their issues autographed. President Wefald received his day in the spotlight in February. To honor Wefald for his accomplishments during his first 10 years at K-State, Student Senate declared Feb. 16 Jon Wefald Day.. He was commended for reversing the University ' s enrollment decline and supporting campus construction projects. After three years of renovations and construction, the Farrell Library expansion project was scheduled for completion in the spring. The addition included a 24-hour study room, extended shelf space and administrative offices. Until the opening of the Marianna Kistler Beach Museum of Art Oct. 13, K-State was the only Big 12 school without an art museum. Competing against dwindling numbers, Tri Sigma recolonized to build a stronger house. Only 15 women pledged the sorority during formal rush in August, so the house rushed again Sept. 10-14. Membership increased to more than 80 members. In one of their first events as a recolonized house, the Tri Sigmas won the spirit award at Pledge Games Sept. 19. While a sorority gave their chapter another try, and students observed a changing campus, ideas that began as the vision of an individual turned into reality for the entire campus community. During team-captain introductions at Fan Appreciation Day, Doug Wiley, resident, holds his 4-year-old daughter, Sarah, up to see the action on the field. More than 5,000 fans attended the Aug. 21 event at KSU Stadium to watch the football team practice. After the exhibition, players took time to sign autographs for fans.

THE GAMES inventing creative ways to deal with stress and testing skills through experiences, students balanced classes and K-State life. Relaxing in the sun at Country Stampede June 21-23, students joined a crowd of 60,000 as they listened to entertainers such as Jeff Foxworthy, Tim McGraw and Faith Hill at Tuttle Creek River Pond Area. K-State-Salina students relied on experience as they competed in the National Intercollegiate Flying Association Region Six Safety Conference Oct. 16-19. Whether practicing airplane landings, or volunteering to help with a 100-mile horse race, students realized involvement was the key to enjoying campus life. student LlFE DIVISION
