It had been several months since I saw him, but he instantly remembered my name and face, Martin Gilmore, sophomore in veterinary medicine, said. What, makes me feel important at K-State is the friendly atmosphere, Vanessa Haas, sophomore in secondary education, said. Academics and one-on-one relationships, student to student and faculty to student, makes K-State different from other universities.

The trip across campus also shortened when MidCampus Drive reopened along with Hale Library. After three years and $3 million in renovations, workers completed the 153,00 -square-foot library addition in April 1997.

Students checked out these books, withdrew cash and accessed vending machines with the new student ID cards.

Willie helped kick off Homecoming festivities with the reappearance of the bonfire, which more than 3,000 attended. Rusty ' s Outback roasted with the return of the Pecs on the Patio competition on Wednesdays from Sept. 24 to Oct. 15. The muscle fest featured 54 pecs and packed the Outback with spectators wanting an alternative to the usual bar activities. Audience members filled the 94-seat Purple Masque Theater for the return of the Student Dance Concert Oct. 3 and 4. The two shows were choreographed and performed by about 20 students. Whether celebrating a birthday or reviving a tradition, students combined to make their work count. ancers Breye Mata, sophomore in theatre, and Shelby Jennings, senior in theatre, look up during their duet in the Student Dance Concert.

The performance was unique because of the bands ' different marching styles. (Photo by Clif Palmberg) When the Texas A M University Aggies came to Manhattan, the football teams battled, but the bands united. Frank Tracz, K-State Marching Band director, and Col. Ray Toller, Texas A M band director, brought the bands together at halftime Oct. 18 to celebrate the 100th anniversary of John Phillip Sousa ' s famous Stars and Stripes Forever. We ' re very pleased to be invited by Dr. Tracz to perform at Kansas State, Toller said. Dr. Tracz and I are good friends, and we were excited about the performance. Preparations for the show began in spring 1997. The bands finalized details two weeks before the performance and practiced together about 20 minutes before the game. The idea came about last spring when I heard the A M band was coming up for sure, Tracz said. I knew A M was a great band, and we would need to perform our best. After each band ' s separate performance, the bands combined. The more than 600 musicians stood together to play Stars and Stripes Forever as Tracz and Toller conducted. The different military style of Texas A M was difficult for K-State ' s band to adjust to, said Todd Bennett, senior in chemical engineering and clarinet section leader. The difficult part was the way they look at things and trying to work with their tempos and marching styles. Bennett said. Having another band perform at the game made the crowd more attentive, said Erin Irick, sophomore in apparel and textile marketing and piccolo player. It is a little intimidating when a band comes, but it makes us perform better, Irick said. I think we all did well, though, because we were so pumped for the game. by chris davis A Texas A M University band member plays the trumpet during halftime of the Oct. 18 game against K- State.

After taking a break from Homecoming ac tivities, BSU entered the organizations ' division confident they would win. They were the only team in that division to compete. We ' d like to see more organizations compete, Colette McLemore, BSU president and senior in social science, said. I think competition would be fun. BSU members began planning to participate in Homecoming about three weeks before competition began. Of the six Homecoming events, BSU competed in two. I think next year we ' ll be involved in more activities rather than just the parade, the chant and banner, Irysha Walker, BSU social director and sophomore in prelaw, said. This is kind of new for us so we just put one foot in rather than jumping in all the way. by barbara hollingsworth Members began the week, Oct. 13-18, by hanging their spirit banner in the K-State Student Union Courtyard. The banner resembled the gray T-shirts members wore for the Pant the Chant competition on Friday. The shirts said, Umoja, wajibu, amali, Swahili for unity, commitment, action — BSU ' s theme for the year. Walker said BSU members enjoyed the variety of students. We ' ve had a lot of newcomers in BSU, she said, and I think they ' ve been really excited about participating in activities that don ' t only involve black students but students of different races. More than 30 members participated in Pant the Chant, but Walker said almost every one of BSU ' s nearly 70 members participated. We ' re bringing in new members and jumping them into Homecoming to spark their interest in BSU, she said. By participating in Homecoming, we ' ve been building our participation and excitement. Pant the Chant was the week ' s highlight, Erika Cannon, freshman in civil engineering, said. Members practiced for the competition at their weekly meeting and the night before the competition. It really gave us all an opportunity to all come together and, not so much as individuals in meetings, but to show ourselves, Cannon said. We ' re a big group of kids. This really gave us an opportunity to come together as older kids and have fun. 10. homecoming K-State mascot the Wildcat pumps up crowd at Stadium during Homecoming Pant Chant event and More than students and attended to show support before the A M University game. (Photo Brandon White) homecoming.11 In front of more than 3,000 cheering Homecoming participants, Willie the Wildcat threw a Texas A M University dummy into the first Homecoming bonfire in more than five years. The bonfire was only one of several changes in Homecoming, which Jami Nelson, Panhellenic Council Homecoming Day Committee representative, said participants welcomed. The important thing to remember about the greek system is that changes are good. They keep it exciting, and they give it life, Nelson, junior in journalism and mass communications, said. We decided to implement a lot of these changes because it was time to update Homecoming. Chris Hansen, Interfraternity Council Homecoming Day Committee and senior in nuclear engineering, said Greek Affairs coordinated a task force to suggest changes after 1996 Homecoming. The task force was divided into five groups: competitive events, chapter relations, pairings, service, and constraints and finance. One of the task force ' s suggestions was to increase body-building safety. The competition combined cheerleading stunts and dancing, so K-State cheerleaders conducted a safety clinic for homecoming chairs. Nelson said two of the biggest changes came with the float competition and Paint it Purple service project. We felt like these were two competitions everybody could compete in because with body building you ' re pretty much limited to athletes, she said. There has been so much emphasis over the past few years on body building. I think we had our purposes skewed because it was worth more than a service project that helped the community. Float competition was worth more points than previous years, and Greek Affairs worked with United Way to provide service opportunities for teams rather than making teams find their own projects. Trent Schaaf, Kansas State University Association of Residence Halls said the residence halls took a larger role in helping with events. In addition to sponsoring Crazy Cat Kickoff, a competition open to residence halls, KSUARH also distributed prizes for Purple Prizes Day in the K-State Student Union. We had more participation behind the scenes, Schaaf, senior in architectural engineering, said. In years past we ' ve done a lot of participating but not a lot of planning. Homecoming had been primarily a greek event, Hansen said. He said they made steps to change that with events, like the bonfire, which were open to the community and alumni. Homecoming is not a greek thing, Nelson said. It ' s a K-State thing, and that ' s an emphasis we ' re trying to make this year. by barbara hollingsworth homecoming teams welcome updated competitions 12. homecoming Homecoming participants in the Crazy Cat Kickoff make human ice-cream sundaes on the faces of their teammates.

Students perform End Ever, choreographed by Janusz Jaworski, senior in secondary education. Ten students performed in the dance, which dancers said portrayed everyday life.

(Photo by Brandon White) 1 4.dance after a long absence, student produced dance returns In a 94-seat theater hidden in Memorial Stadium, 20 students revived the Dance Concert for nearly sold-out crowds. Students performed, choreo- graphed, directed and lighted the show in the Purple Masque Theater, Oct. 3 and 4. It is all student run, said Jeremy Seemann, lighting designer and junior in theater. There has been some faculty advice, but that ' s really been a Janusz Jaworski, senior in secondary education, coordinated the show. I found old clippings from student concerts in newspapers and yearbooks, Jaworski said. I asked the faculty why we didn ' t do student shows, and they said because we didn ' t have students to put them together. Jaworski volunteered to direct the show and began planning for it spring semester 1997. We contacted the choreography classes and the dance majors in general and said we would do a dance show the first month of school, Jaworski said. In the beginning, it wasn ' t hard to get them involved, he said. Originally, we had eight choreographers, but then four dropped, so we were down to four choreographers. To make up for the loss of Jaworski choreographed three of the six modern dances, making his job as production coordinator more difficult, he said. Jaworski said if he could have coordinated the show again he might ask students to sign contracts to increase their accountability. I ' d rather just deal with people as people and not deal with contracts and stuff like that, he said. Maybe I ' d require them at the onset to show they ' ve put some more effort into it before we begin. Since most student choreographers directed their pieces, recruited dancers and decided when rehearsals began, they were able to give personal attention to their dancers. Colin Milligan, senior in theater, said he had not experienced that attention in other shows. There ' s a lot more one-on-one Milligan said. They ' re on your level. You can talk to them one-on-one more, and they ' ll understand you bet- ter. To keep costs low, dancers posted photocopied posters around campus and asked friends and family to attend the $2 show. This was just designed to be a experience, Jaworski said. We didn ' t want to spend a lot, and we didn ' t want to charge a lot. Shelby Jennings, senior in theater, said the audience almost filled the auditorium both nights, despite the theater ' s obscure location. We thought with it being in the Purple Masque Theater a lot of people wouldn ' t know where it was, but I guess our posters really reached people, she said. I saw a lot of theater students. I think a lot of the people were from the community. Prior to a dress rehearsal, Crystal Gwaltney, sophomore in arts and sciences, applies make-up.

Wednesday nights, from Sept. 24 to Oct. 15, marked the revival of the washed-up chest fest, Pecs on the Patio, sponsored by KMKF-FM 101.5 and eight Aggieville businesses. A couple of years ago it went by the wayside, Eric Weber, sales manager at KMAN-AM 1350, said. It was something we had to bring back from the dead. Whether signing up in advance or acting on a last-minute impulse, contestants had their own reasons for joining the competition. One contestant, Dan Shenck, self-proclaimed Stupid Dan, said the contest should be less serious and more upbeat. For me it was a joke because I ' m fat, and I thought they needed some entertainment, Shenck said. It doesn ' t matter if you ' re fat, ugly, short or tall, it ' s all about having a good time. Friends encouraged contestant Seth Spangler, senior in management, to enter the contest. Spangler won the contest that rewarded the hours working out at the gym. I realize I am not the biggest or best fit guy up there, Spangler said, but it gave me a way to show off all the hours I put in at the Rec. The contest was broken into three apparel categories: formal wear, casual wear and boxer shorts. Questions were asked during each round of competition, and contestants were evaluated on stage appearance and presence. I think the questions are one of the best parts. It ' s funny to just hear what they ' re going to say, Cheryl Newman, sopho- more in park resource management, said. They ' re just doing it for the crowd. Interaction with the crowd was an important factor in the contestants ' performances, Ryan Carey, sophomore in said. If you get the audience screaming when you ' re up there, it amplifies whatever you ' re he said. It ' s nerve but when everybody ' s cheering you on, it makes you feel like they like you, and then you want to try that much harder. was the key to having a Each judge filled out a sheet rating the contestants on their answers, personality and physique.

When their is good up there, and they are having a lot of fun dancing, that ' s the best part, Vance said. Even that guy (Shenck) went up there and didn ' t have that good of a body. When he was all party, that was the best part. a The fall competition and the 26 contestants acted as a trial run for expanding the contest. We ' re kind of like a pilot series would be on TV, Carey said. They ' re seeing how this goes and what kind of crowd it draws. If everybody has fun, they might keep doing it. Crowd members enjoyed the contest and wanted more events like Pecs on the Patio to break up the normal activities in Aggieville, Vance said. There ' s nothing wrong with coining to Aggieville and seeing a good time, Vance said. of the competition also grew and several contestants said they found thinking about the next contest. I will definitely do it again. It ' s been so much fun that it kind of becomes an addiction, Carey said. You just get up there, be yourself and have a good time. 16. pets Alan Yerich, freshman in arts and sciences, shows his backside during the boxer round of the Pecs on the Patio contest at Rusty ' s Outback.

More than a week later, on Sept. 6, the Wildcats kicked off their season with a win against Northern Illinois University. The new head was made out of gray fur with white stripes on the sides.

Willie circa 1a967. new Head with POWERCAT MOTIF celebrates 50 years of WILLIE the WILDCAT For his 50th birthday Willie the Wildcat received a face lift. The Willie tradition began in 1947, and since then, his image and role have undergone several changes. Adrea Simmons Andersen played K-State ' s first mascot at the September 1947 Oklahoma A M football game. She dressed in a red-brown wildcat costume with black stripes and a tail. To begin with, my name wasn ' t Willie. It was Scrappy or something like that, Andersen said. I mostly did acrobatic things on the field with the team. In the 1960s, Sigma Chi fraternity members played Willie. Later that decade, the mascot looked like Mickey Mouse, and fans wanted a new image. Jim Hagan, a sculptor and artist, created a newer meaner-looking Willie. Hagan made two Willie heads out of coyote and wolf hair. The first head lasted from 1967 until 1980 and cost about $300 to construct. The second lasted until 1993. They came to me when I was a graduate in sculpture and asked me to design a new head, Hagan said. They wanted him to move and do other things than just sit. They wanted him to be able to drink without taking off the head. In 1993, the Kaw Valley Catbacker Club donated the fifth Willie head. The new head was rounder and made out of brown artificial fur. Willie received a facelift again in fall 1997. The new head cost $2,500 and was purchased with money from the cheerleading squad ' s budget. It was time for a change, Steve Kirkland, cheerleading coach, said. The other head was falling apart. Willie was looking really scraggly. The Willie head had gray fur with two white stripes to resemble the Powercat logo. The new head unifies K-State ' s symbolism, varsity Willie the Wildcat, said. The new head looks like the Powercat, and people know K-State for the Powercat. The new head weighed five pounds and featured an electronic cooling fan. Given the past, the head caused back problems because it was so heavy. It weighed 15 pounds, Kirkland said. The new head is really light, so there is a big difference. The change took some getting used to, Kirkland said. For the most part, it will have to grow on people. About half of the people like it and about half don ' t, Kirkland said. Some don ' t like the color, and some are just traditional and want to stick to the old thing. In keeping with tradition, the identity of Willie was still kept secret. I love hearing people talk about Willie and not realizing that I am sitting right there the whole entire time, Willie said. Willie said he would miss being the mascot after graduation. Being Willie is a huge part of my life, he said. I have my own identity, but a big part of me will definitely be gone. by kristin boyd Willie the Wildcat pumps up fans during the Homecoming football game. Willie participated in sports activities and attended alumni functions throughout the year. It is very time consuming, the varsity Willie said. I am expected to be at everything because Willie is an icon of K-State. The cheerleading squad purchased a new Willie head for $2,500.

(Photo by Clif Palmberg) stompdown Student perform for sold-out crowd Clapping and stomping were to the coordinators ' ears, but unlike most shows, the noise came from the performers. Seven members of Alpha Phi fraternity coordinated the sold out Neak Frasty performance Nov. 15 in McCain Auditorium. The stepshow competition and concert by rhythm and blues singer Ginuwine drew a crowd of 1,775. Brandon Hobbs, Alpha Phi Alpha president and junior in industrial said he was pleased with the show ' s turnout. Little numbers can accomplish a lot, Hobbs said. It ' s a sense of pride that we can make this show a success. Piquing interest in the show was not a problem as many students the show for months, Hobbs said. We provide minority students with a night of entertainment they look forward to from the opening of the school year, he said. It feels good to see that kind of excitement. The excitement stemmed from the originality of the performance and the alternative entertainment it provided, Hobbs said. We have a lack of urban entertainment in this area. Neak Frasty is the only stepshow in the area, he said. It gives the students a chance to see a stepshow, and they don ' t have to go all the way to Kansas City to see it.

It basically deals with rhythm (Continued on page 22) by kellee miller stepshow. 21 Melvin Smith performs with his fraternity at the stepshow.

It ' s a mimic of a sound in your head that is replicated by stepping and clapping. Groups competing in the step competition incorporated props and costumes into their Sigma Gamma Rho used neon stepping canes while Alpha Kappa Alpha sorority their house ' s colors with pink shirts and green army pants. We had never done a soldier theme before, and we put a lot of creativity into our performance this year and used lots of props, Kori Hall, Alpha Kappa Alpha member and junior in elementary education, said. We had glitter fall in one part of the routine and also threw glitter into the audience. Routines varied from year to year, but Delta Sigma Theta sorority had a unique tradition showing the signs of five fraternities and calling out the names of sororities. We always show respect for everyone else through a tribute to all the organizations in our performance, Verneta White, Delta Sigma Theta president and senior in life science, said. No other group does that besides Delta Sigma Theta. Neak Frasty als o provided exposure for campus groups and a chance to work together as a team. This was the first time I performed in a stepshow, White said. We are forced to work together, and I think what we learned most was teamwork, as well a s respect for each other. All proceeds from the Ginuwine concert went to Alpha Phi Alpha ' s Thurgood Marshall scholarship. The fraternity awarded four scholarships from the show ' s proceeds — two to continuing students and two to incoming students. It ' s our form of community service, Hobbs said. We provide an outlet for which provides an opportunity to help others give to education. 22.stepshow Members of K-State ' s Alpha Kappa Alpha sorority perform their step routine in the step competition.

Students in a Waters Hall classroom were unexpectedly joined by a new classmate Nov. 7 when a panic-stricken buck leapt through a plate-glass window. The students were to a lecture for their 11:30 a.m. International Relations class in Waters 041, a classroom facing the courtyard between the north facade of Waters and the Waters Hall annex. All of a sudden, we just heard this crash, Maggie Keating, senior in political science, said. Everyone was just kind of frozen. It just looked like this deer just rolled through the Keating said the class was directed to get out by Tim Schrag, classmate and K-State police officer, who took charge of the situation. Schrag, who was from western Kansas and had dealt with similar said he worried the deer would knock someone down and begin to kick them with its sharp hooves. That deer was freaked to jump through a window like that, Schrag said. I could see it was injured and really scared. The buck ' s journey to Waters began when it was spotted wandering around the adjacent feed mill garage by a student. The student, who did not want to be identified, chased the buck to run it away from campus. Instead, the buck lit off for the labyrinth of alleys and courtyards behind Waters. The student said he saw the buck jump through a door window and It then ran into the courtyard where it jumped into the classroom. Schrag said the buck tried to get back out the window, but the slick linoleum prevented it from planting its hooves. After the students and Schrag called the police, staff from the Medicine Hospital to tranquilize the deer and take it for treatment. Geoff Pye, a doctor and intern in exotic animal wildlife and zoo medicine service at K-State, treated the buck overnight before releasing it into the wild near Tuttle Creek State Park. We were very pleased with how it all went, Pye said. Pye said the deer had large lacerations on the left side of its chest and left hind leg, but was lucky it had no fractured bones. The buck was treated on a good basis by the paid for by a wildlife trust from private It was a lot bloodier than I thought it would be. It ' s all over the floors and walls, Verna Regier, junior in political science, said. My heart is still Students, slightly frazzled, scrambled in after the deer was removed to gather their books and notes — blood-stained at that point — and left class for the day. Students returning to their classroom found belongings splattered with blood from the injured deer. The buck was then taken to the veterinary hospital and treated for lacerations to its chest and leg.

Tara Fisher, sophomore in arts and sciences, and Mike freshman in business administration, kept the technique in mind as they were instructed by Mike Bennett, architecture adviser. (Photo by Jeff Cooper) The jitterbug and cha cha ruled the wooden dance floor of the K-State Student Union Ballroom as 76 couples tried their skills in Roaring Twenties style. It ' s fun; it ' s really neat to learn how to do it, Heath Schroeder, freshman in environmental design, said as he paused to catch his breath. The real dancing is gone, like the fancy dancing of the 1700s. I think it is really important for teenagers of today to learn how to do it. The Union Program Council Classic Swing lessons 7-8:30 p.m., Tuesdays, Feb. 10-March 3. Lessons cost $10 per person or $15 per couple. It was very successful and very popular with the crowd, Mike Hodgson, UPC president, said. We ' ve had a variety of dances throughout the year, like salsa and merangue and the country swing. So, we thought it would be fun to do classic swing also. Mike Bennett, architecture adviser, and Sara Saunders, senior in elementary education, Students steped out of the ' 90s and back to the era swing. had taught dance lessons together for three years. Bennett said he grew up learning swing from his parents. When he came to K-State, the dance scene was dead, so he started a class through UFM and had taught it for 10 years. In this class, we are to teach the cha cha and jitterbug, he said. Since this is such a big group and everyone here is young, we are going to do more physical stuff. We are going to try and get people off the ground. Couples stumbled and laughed as they pushed their way through spins. We messed up quite a bit, Kellie Korb, freshman in theater, said. But we liked spins. Spins are fun because you don ' t have to be quite as coordinated when you are doing them. by nathan brothers Students practice the steps of the jitterbug on Feb. 10.

Rather than only offering gambling at the event, faculty created alternative ways to win the pink, yellow and green Monopoly-like money for the first time on Nov. 12. A lot of kids lose their money, Roger Steinbrock, assistant director of college advancement and blackjack dealer, said about the play money. I just wanted a way to make it fun and give everyone a chance to win At the end of the evening, students bid on prizes with their winnings. The lava lamp on the prize table was enough incentive for Jason Davis, freshman in airway sciences, to sing the national anthem. He (Steinbrock) offered me $20,000 (to sing the anthem), Davis said, and I kind of wanted the lava lamp. Other prizes included a cordless phone, compact discs, sleeping bags, beer-mug sets, answering machines and a survival kit full of Oreos, Twinkies and Cocoa Puffs. While Steinbrock persuaded Davis to sing the anthem, other faculty members offered fake money for students to do the Hokey-Pokey, sing Ring Around the Rosie or perform K-State cheers. Paul Lambert, senior in airway sciences, beat five other contestants to win the limbo contest and add $40,000 to his winnings. I need it because I wasn ' t too wise on the betting table, Lambert said. I wasn ' t looking at the prize table earlier, but now that I have the money, I think I could really use a cordless telephone. Students participating in the games were not the only ones who enjoyed Student Govern- ment Association members spent months organizing the event and buying prizes using money donated by SGA. We had fun shopping for the prizes, Tina Higley, activities director and senior in mechanical engineering technology, said. We tried to get prizes students couldn ' t buy themselves or would want and couldn ' t really afford right now. In the end, the event accomplished what it was meant to accomplish, Larry Kuder, SGA secretary, said. We just wanted everyone to have fun, Kuder said. We wanted to try to get the students and faculty together to get involved. Students from K- State-Salina, try to win fake money during a blackjack game on Nov. 12.

Way had played in the Christian Challenge Worship band for four years and began playing for Beggars Table, a local Christian band in the fall. (Photo by Brandon White) Beggars Table performs in Union Station, Nov. 21. The group, which formed in October, pl ayed mostly local venues. (Photo by Brandon White) In a lone barn 10 miles south of town a revival had begun. Beggars Table, a local Christian band, which formed in early October, played their second performance on Oct. 31. Todd Way, senior in electrical engineering and bassist for Beggars Table, said they chose that date because of Halloween ' s negative We really liked the idea of playing on Halloween night, Way said. Instead of pumpkins on the street somewhere, believers came out to worship with us. Students appreciated the alternative. It was the coolest thing I think I ' ve ever done on Halloween night, Tim Ketterman, freshman in business, said. The barn was very enchanting, and even though I don ' t usually listen to Christian bands, Beggars Table really impressed me. Brice Pufahl, senior in electrical engineering and lead singer and guitarist for Beggars Table, said Christian rock music started in the 1970s. More people are starting to become more accepting of Christian music again, Pufahl said. It seems like it used to be every Christian song had to have the word Jesus all over it. I mean we aren ' t going to be begging anyone, but at the same time, a certain amount of poetry gets lost if you smack somebody over the head with it. The music scene in Manhattan was not divided. Daniel Wacker, freshman in theater and lead singer of Fuselage, another local Christian band, said. As far as I know we are the only Christian band who is playing in the Aggieville bars, there are a lot of secular bands who are helping Manhattan ' s music scene, Wacker said. The way I see it, is if we are putting out a positive message in Aggieville, we will see change on the campus, and the campus, for the most part, could use some positivity. 30.Christian bands Lead singer and guitarist for Beggars Table Brice Pufahl, senior in electrical engineering, sings on the Union Station stage.

Pierce Pettis performs to raise money and awareness for Habitat for Humanity. The birdhouse In the dimly lit cafeteria of St. Thomas Mo re Catholic Church, folk guitarist Pierce Pettis picked up his ax and began to play. How is everyone tonight? Pettis asked the crowd of about 100. Tonight I am playing for a great cause. If you have never experienced working on a house team, then I strongly encourage it. Pettis ' performance benefited Habitat for Humanity, a Christian that built houses for low-income families. His show marked the third year of the BirdHouse Acoustic Music Series. In 1994, three faculty members organized the BirdHouse: David Kamerer, professor of mass communications; Gretchen Holden, director of Student Services; and Steve Martini, associate director of Recreational Services. Kamerer said he wanted to reintroduce acoustic music to Manhattan. The BirdHouse was started to provide an alternative form of entertainment in Manhattan, something to do other than the bars, Kamerer said. We have three goals: to provide quality acoustic entertainment in Manhattan, provide a good gig for starving artists and do some good. Pettis ' performance met all the goals. A singer and songwriter, he had three and his song You Move Me was on a Garth Brooks ' album. Tinsel Town, Pettis ' second album, promoted Habitat. Habitat for Humanity is truly something that builds people up and makes them feel secure about owning a place of their own, Pettis said. Pettis ' show was the third BirdHouse performance to benefit Habitat. BirdHouse tickets were $10 for general admission and $8 for students and seniors. Since First Savings Bank sponsored the show, all profits went to Habitat. Pettis also donated $2 from every compact disc sale at the show. The Oct. 4 show raised an all-time high of $1,130, bringing the total for three years to $2,745. Audience member Suzanne Hale, graduate student in fine arts, said the show raised her awareness about Habitat and gave her an opportunity to contribute. The concert made me feel like I was doing two things: going to have an enjoyable evening listening to live music and making a donation to a good cause, she said.

Six times in 1997 purple-clad fans experienced game day in Aggieville when they visited their favorite establishments to eat, drink and meet friends before and after games. For some students, it was another day in a place they called home. but it was business as usual for Aggieville ' s student bartenders and waitresses. New businesses sprouted and added to Aggieville ' s prosperity wily by offering an array of products an rvices to catch the eye of touring pedestrians. At night, police officers patrolled the treets by car and on foot to ensure everyone had a safe visit to Aggievillie. As the nights ended and bar patrons returned home, the soft glow of Aggievillie street lights captured the aura of history that began more than 100 years ago. Lights from Campus Theatre illuminate the Saturday night sky in the heart, of Aggieville following K-State ' s football victory over Bowling Green State. Visitors occupied Aggieville streets for more than 18 hours, frequenting local businesses. After the bars closed at 2 a.m., the crowd began to dwindle until all remained were the structures that stood there almost a century before.

University of Kansas football I game and 1986 photograph of crowd at the Aggieville riot. The social mecca of Manhattan evolved from swamp land no farmer dared buy. Aggieville, the 109-year-old business district, started on unsuitable farmland with one retail business, said Dan Walter, author of Aggieville 1889-1989: 100 Years of the Aggieville Tradition. George W. Evans ' 16-by-20 foot, laundry pickup school supply store was the first in a long line of privately owned shops that served students for more than a century. Aggieville has always majored on small businesses, Walter said. Year after year people lived out dreams to start and run their own businesses. It ' s a little piece oldie American Dream. These businesses flourished after 1900 and a trolley, added in 1909, increased clientele, Walter said. About that time, the name Aggieville was coined, but its exact origin was still undetermined. Walter ' s book told about Ted Varney, former owner of Varney ' s Book Store, who thought the term came from the college ' s old team nickname, the Aggies. He said the name Aggieville described the businesses that served the college students. The book also cited Ira Haynes Sr., former owner of Haynes Style Shop and Beauty Supply, who said the name originated with a Chicago cookie salesman who sent a letter addressed to Aggieville, Manhattan, Kan. That shop owner displayed the letter, and the name stuck. The name Aggieville originally implied negative connotations about the college students, Walter said. In my personal opinion, it was used as a put-down based on Aggies, Walter said. This was kind of a muddy area down here, so it was thought to be appropriate for the ag students. Although muddy in earlier years, the are-a remained dr y during the flood in July 1951. Water levels reached 6 feet at Fourth Street and Poyntz, but stopped at City Park, a few blocks south of Aggieville. The area had gradually increased elevation with the construction of businesses over the years, and Aggieville became a haven from the flood, Walter said. We were the grocery outlet, the laundry and, I suspect, entertainment, Walter said. It was a release from the realities of cleaning up your house. Aggieville survived that natural disaster, but emotions from a 29-12 football victory over University of Kansas took its toll. About 6,000 fans flooded Moro Street Oct. 16, 1986. The riot caused about 530,000 in property damages and also damaged Aggieville ' s image, Walter said. Anytime you mix large numbers of young people and alcohol, you ' re going to get difficulties, Walter said. Aggieville and K-State got a black-eye from the irresponsible actions of a few people. Stories of the riot, which reached near legendary status, and Aggieville ' s colorful history helped develop its current image as a social center. This image formed a bond between Aggieville and students that even other schools could admire, Cheryl Sieben, Aggieville Business Association executive director, said. I think because there are so few schools that have an Aggieville across the street, it shapes the campus, Sieben said. Because Aggieville needs the students and the students need Aggieville, it is a hand-in-hand relationship. I think a lot of towns would want an Aggieville.

Aggieville offered an opportunity for ideas to grow, Cheryl Sieben, Aggieville Business Association director, said. It ' s one of the only places in town that provides a place and good rent so small entrepreneurs can try their hands, Sieben said. I think we see a larger variety of unique businesses in Aggieville because we can offer all those things. Although Aggieville provided a starting point for businesses, space was limited, said Billy Porter, co-owner of Porter ' s, which opened July 1997. Trying to find a spot down here, that ' s the hardest part, Porter said. They don ' t come up for rent very often, especially ones on the store front. New business owners may have struggled to find a location, but they didn ' t have to look hard to find a customer base, Chip Pritchett, Pat ' s Blue Rib ' n BarBeQue manager, said. Aggieville was begging for a barbecue joint, Pritchett said. Before we opened, I must have had at least 20 to 30 people come up to me each day and say Aggieville needed a barbecue joint. While Pat ' s tapped into a market no one was serving, a new bar like Porter ' s had to distinguish itself, Porter said. You have so much competition it is hard to stay around. That ' s the drawback of Aggieville, when you have 14 bars in the area, Porter said. Then again, it helps you because everyone feeds off each other. People don ' t usually stay in one bar all night lon. Offering a unique product, Mombasa Juice Co. tried to bring a West-coast fad to the Midwest. Regan Wilson, Mombasa manager, said the idea came from her mother. She got the idea from California, Wilson said. Out there they are really popular. They are actually putting the coffee shops out of business. Mombasa, which opened June 1997, and Juice Stop, which opened Sept. 26, Story by Marla Johnson celebrated with grand opening festivities that featured free samples. It was crazy, Troy Clifton, owner of Juice Stop, said. We gave free smoothies out from noon to 5 p.m., and 50 percent off smoothies from 5 to 8 p.m. We gave away around 920 smoothies. We had a line of 75 people most of the day. We set the record as far as any of the Juice Stop stores for free- smoothies day and sales per hour. For Pat ' s, just opening was enough. In its first two days, it sold 1100 pounds of meat. We didn ' t advertise at all. We opened at 4 p.m. on (Wednesday) July 2 and by Thursday afternoon we were about out of meat, Pritchett said. Until we closed the door at 1 a.m. on the 4th, we were packed. Openings weren ' t everything. Merchants had to keep customers returning to be successful, Porter, also co-owner of Rowdy Trouty ' s, said. If you notice the ones that have gone out of business around here, their owners aren ' t in their places a lot. They don ' t want to work hard, Porter said. Obviously the ones who have been here a lot — like Scoreboard ' s, Chance, Auntie Mae ' s — their owners are always there. It takes lots of hard work. Being located in Aggieville also had drawbacks for businesses, Prichett said. The lack of parking in the area was a strike against his business because customers and employees could not park close to the restaurant. Business owners agreed Aggieville ' s location could help new businesses, but hard work was the key to success. I ' ve been her e 70 to 80 hours a week. You have to stay on top of it. When you ' re new, you can ' t take a break and relax, Clifton said. You are constantly promoting, finding new avenues and talking to people. You strive to get new customers to est ablish your customer base. You have to work hard. You Strive to get new Customers To establish your Customer Base You nave to Work Hard.

Jeremy Waterman —senior in history Rather than spending their money partying in Aggieville, some students made money throwing the party. More than 100 businesses in Aggieville relied on students as their customers, but they also relied on them as employees. Jeremy Waterman, senior in history, had worked for 12th Street Pub since it opened in 1995. It was a job that was as much fun as it was labor, he said. I wanted to bartend because it ' s a good way to make money, and most of the bars are in Aggieville. It ' s a fun place to work, he said. If I ' m working Thursday, I get to still be out at the party, but I make money at the same time. Cali Misch, Wildcat Spirit employee and senior in family life and community services, said receiving a 10 to 15 percent discount card to use at Aggieville stores was another advantage. The card was accepted at establishments like Lucky BrewGrille, Last Chance Restaurant Saloon and Dean Liquor. Rachel Robinson, Java Espresso Bakery employee and senior in anthropology, said owners were flexible with students ' hours. I really like everyone I work with, and I have decent hours, she said. They are really flexible with my schedule because I am also assistant news director at DB92, and I volunteer in Kansas City on weekends. Mike Robinson, owner of 12th Street, said being flexible was a big consideration when dealing with student employees. He said there was always a chance students would be in class when he needed them to work. We ' ve been really lucky with scheduling, Robinson said. At the beginning ofeach semester, I always worry, but it always works out. Although Robinson did not plan on hiring only students, he said it usually worked out that way because he hired by word of mouth. Fall semester, all but one of 12th Street ' s employees were full-time students. Robinson said that was common for Aggieville bars. 12th Street ' s appreciation of students ' schedules was one reason Waterman liked working there, he said. I would never be asked to skip class or sacrifice school for work, Waterman said. The owner is always flexible, even about parties like Homecoming events or anything school related. Robinson said working in Aggieville also had disadvantages — such as cleaning up beer bottles and having people try to steal patio furniture — but she enjoyed being close to Aggieville ' s action. The frequent bachelorette and 21st birthday parties made working in Aggieville fun, Waterman said. You get to work with people your age, he said. It ' s getting everyone drunk on a Friday night and getting paid for it.

They needed people, so I started working here the first month of the summer. I talked to him one night and started working here the next day. Krull said he got to know the other regulars better after he started working. If I ' m not working, I ' ll be in here, he said. Sometimes I ' ll go out with some of the people I meet. I ' ve gotten to know the people who come in every week pretty well. Sometimes customers trusted workers enough to talk about their lives, Miller said. It ' s like we ' re bartenders, she said. Our regulars are open with us — sometimes a little more open than we ' d like. I ' ve had customers talk about their relationships with me. Some businesses offered a closer relationships between customers and workers than others. Brian Mascareno, junior in industrial engineering, said he was a regular at Fast Eddy ' s, but did not get to know others well. It ' s a comfortable atmosphere, but it ' s not like a bar, he said. Everyone goes to the bars to meet people. People at Fast Eddy ' s go to play pool. I don ' t know a lot of people, but I recognize a lot of faces. I can relax there. Stacey Brown, graduate student in grain science, said having a regular spot made Manhattan more of a home. It feels good to be a part of something, she said. A lot of people go to Java to study, but I go there just to chat. I love walking into Java after a stressful day and seeing the familiar faces. It makes me feel like I ' m part of the community and not just a guest in Manhattan. Amy Miller —junior in journalism and mass communications Our Regulars are open with us — Some times a Little More open Than We ' d Like. Aggieville offered a place where everyone knew students ' names, or at least what they ordered. Having regulars makes work kind of fun, Ginny French, junior in pre-veterinary medicine and Java cashier, said. It tickles the customers when you know what they ' re going to order. French said she tried to be friendly and strike up conversations because getting to know the regulars ' habits made work easier. I think it also makes business much faster, she said. I know what they ' re going to order, so they don ' t have to stand in line as long. Someone will walk in, and I ' ll just point and say, ' Tall skinny, light on chocolate, no whipped cream, mocha. ' Aggieville workers sometimes referred to their customers by what they ordered. Amy Miller, junior in journalism and mass communications and On the Wildside cashier, said she identified regulars that way. We call one lady ' Nag Champa Lady, ' she said. Nag Champa is a type of incense, and when she comes in, she buys hordes of it. I ' m not sure what her real name is, but I know what she wants when she walks in the door. A bartender and waitress from 12th Street Pub knew Matt Krull, senior in marketing and international business, by name. I didn ' t know the waitresses unti I I started going there, Krull said. At first I would go with guys from my house, and now I know some of the other regulars. Krull said he had been going to 12th Street for two years. He said his familiarity with 12th Street and the regulars helped him get a job there. Basically, one of my friends lived with the owner, he said. They went (Story by Kari Johnson) 42. home Brian Mascareno and Nick Henning, juniors in industrial engineering, set up the table for a game of pool. Fast Eddy ' s offered patrons an alternative to the bars, and supplied an atmosphere to focus on the game of pool, Mascareno said. Although Henning and Mascareno did not know many other people who frequented the bar, they said they became accustomed to seeing familiar faces.

The mood of the crowd could change in a heartbeat, and the night was a waiting game, Fink said. 9:15 p.m. — We ' ve got a long way to go, Fink said, glancing at his watch. It ta kes a while before we have any real problems. That ' s later on, around bar-closing time. Fink said Aggieville officers spent most of their time making their presence known. There ' s enough of us here so we can walk aroun d a lot and talk to a lot of people, Fink said. Our presence helps as a deterrent. People think twice about getting out of hand. 10:20 p.m. — Another Aggieville officer questioned a suspect about a possible fake ID in the Aggieville substation. Fink said the problem was a common one. They have access to a lot of good computer equipment and can make some really good fake IDs, he said. For a doorman to catch it, sometimes, is difficult. Fink said minors ' reactions gave them away. If you ' re under 21, there ' s going to be a reaction of some type, Fink said. They see a blue uniform, and they ' re going to have some sort of reflex, whether it be to act really cool and drink a whole lot more in front of the officer or ditch the drink and run away from it. 1:46 a.m. Fink shifted his feet uneasily as he stood outside Silverado Saloon. This time of night is the most tense, he said. Everything has been so quiet so far, but I feel like I ' m just standing here waiting for all hell to break loose. 2:03 a.m. — Fink stopped to talk to (Story by Travis D. Lenkner another officer in front of Last Chance Restaurant Saloon. Fink moved on, stopping in front of Bombers to quiet a man who was provoking another to fight. The two men ' s friends tried to pull Fink away as he attempted to stop the fight. Fink lashed back, pushing away his attackers. 2:06 a.m. —Other officers arrived on the scene and were heckled by the crowd as they tried to stop the conflict. The crowd grew to an estimated 400 onlookers. The men ' s words turned to blows, and they were arrested. Others began to fight, and officers had a hard time keeping up. 2:10 a.m. — One officer guarded the door to the substation as others worked inside with five handcuffed subjects. A crowd of nearly 100 pressed against the door, shouting and threatening the officer. From somewhere within the crowd, a foot struck the officer in the groin. He got me, the officer said. He got me good. Did you see who did it? He reached for his pepper spray as others began to hit him. He sent the fiery liquid in an arc toward the crowd, which sent the mob to Hunam Express. They lined up for the bathroom, pawing at their eyes and waiting for watery relief. 2:12 a.m. — Fink and other officers scuffled with two of the suspects who resisted arrest. The disturbance dispersed, and patrol cars arrived to transport the eight individuals to jail. 2:25 a.m. — Fink left to prepare hours of paperwork. As he walked out the door, he repeated his earlier statement that the Aggieville crowd can change in a heartbeat. See what I mean? he asked, grinning. Feel Like I ' m Just.

The Cats were host to Bowling Green on Sept. 27. An average of 600-700 people packed Last Chance on game nights.

Business owners said business increased on game days because Aggieville was the central location for students, alumni and fans to celebrate before and after games. (Photo by Brandon White) 46.game day game day Aggieville Sports fans take to street The Wabash Cannonball blared through circular speakers hanging atop Aggieville ' s light posts and orchestrated the stream of purple-clad visitors through the streets. Parking lots along the six-block Aggieville district filled with vehicles displaying K-State pride. Fans flooded Moro and 12th Street and visited Aggieville merchants, restaurants and bars. At Varney ' s Book Store, people bought anything bearing the K-State Powercat and clothed themselves for the festivities waiting outside. It was game day in Aggieville. The Wildcats ' six home football games brought fans to Aggieville for pre- and post-game festivities. It ' s all about creating the atmosphere for the game, Steve Levin, assistant manager of Varney ' s, said. I don ' t think other places have the history of events that have happened in Aggieville. It did not matter if you were a student, alumni, parent, Manhattan resident or visitor experiencing Aggieville for the very first time. Levin said purple unified everyone as Wildcat fans. Game day (in Aggieville) is a unique blend of businesses and college hangouts, a common meeting place for Manhattan and K-State alumni to meet with the university, Levin said. It begins early and goes throughout the night. A Richard Petty stock car touring America was displayed next to the face- painting booth in front of Varney ' s before the Bowling Green State University game. A clothing manufacturer silk screened T-shirts at the same location before the University of Missouri game, while a radio call-in show polled passersby for the final score. Across Manhattan Avenue, people waited to enter Rock-A-Belly Bar and Deli. They lined the rear bar, filled every (Story by D. Scott Fritchen table and drank beer. Toby Engel, senior in hotel and restaurant management, tended the bar at Rock-A-Belly on game days. Working two shifts on Saturdays meant healthy tips and a loyal clientele of K-State fans. There ' s lots of people and energy here on game day, Engel said. It ' s a place where everyone ' s happy. On the corner of 12th street and Moro, Pat ' s Blue Rib ' n BarBeQue, a new business to Aggieville, sold 800 pounds of meat during the Bowling Green game and was filled to capacity all day with people watching the game and eating ribs and sandwiches. On game day, we were packed in the morning, owner Pat Murray said. We noticed we were busy during the whole game. We ' re a restaurant, and we maintain our usual Saturday business crowd. When the ball game is over, we get absolutely slammed. The purple celebration continued hours after the football game. After the game, the wait here will be around an hour, Matt Schreiner, manager of Hibachi Hut and Texas Lone Star, said. Fans come back to have a few beers, eat some dinner, and get perked up and ready to go back out. A line of purple extended out the front door and around the corner of Pyramid Pizza at 2:30 a.m. Although the restaurant was scheduled to close at 2 a.m. on Saturdays, Frank Feufert, manager, said he did not mind staying open after the bars closed. People waited and waited until they got a slice of my pizza, Feufert said. There were alumni, and of course students, and just people who wanted to experience night life on game day.

New members enjoyed the drive-in movies because they said they were different from other types of Manhattan entertainment, and the event gave them an opportunity to take a break from study hours.

More than 230 people watched the Union Council ' s first drive-in movies, Three Amigos and Animal House, Sept. 25. Last time I went to see a drive-in was when I was four, Michael Bishop, UPC Feature Films Committee chairman, said. Most people them from when they were little, and we thought it would be an interesting experience. I think that ' s why so many people were excited about it. Bishop, senior in computer science, said UPC wanted to bring back the nostalgia of the drive-in and provide an unique experience for the students. It ' s different especially from around here, Heather Wootton, junior in agricultural said. We ' re from Manhattan, and we ' ve done everything there is to do, so it ' s nice to have a change. Students lounged in truck beds or sat in lawn chairs to watch the movies on a 360-square-foot screen provided by Sun Technology. Movie attendees heard the dialogue from speakers around the parking lot or broadcast over 650 AM. Brice Carlson, freshman in architecture, said he enjoyed the freedom the outdoor setting provided. It ' s not as crowded as regular theaters, and you can move around more, Carlson said. You don ' t have to worry about people in the chair next to you, and you can move around and find your friends. Movie admission was $2 per person or $5 per carload and targeted the audience. ' Animal House ' speaks for itself because it kind of makes fun of the college system, Bishop said. The company even thought it was a good choice and said it was very Bishop said he was happy with the turn out, and UPC planned to make the drive-in an annual event . Not only did we like the idea of it, but it went over well with the students, Bishop said.

But for four Aggieville business owners and 48 firemen, the night was just beginning. At about 3:40 a.m., a fire started in the 1100 block of Moro Street, destroying four businesses and a historic building. Warren Spurlock, a Red Cross volunteer on the scene to provide relief to the firefighters, was reminded of a past Manhattan blaze. The last time I saw a glow in the sky like this was when Nichols Gymnasium burned, Spurlock said. Club Karrington, formerly known as Bombers, Greeks Pizzeria, Speedwash Laundry and Adventure Trave l were incinerated in the blaze. Shocked by the event, Adam Gaines, Greek ' s Pizzeria owner, said the worst part of the fire was the lost time and work he put into opening his restaurant. We had only been open for a little over a year, and it took me a year to line up a place to put the business and to get all the equipment we needed, Gaines said. It is really tough seeing all the work and time I put into opening the business destroyed. The fire was one of the most destructive in Manhattan history, with the damage estimate exceeding $1 million. It took 48 firemen, and three fire trucks more than three hours to bring the blaze under control. The heat from the f ire cracked windows across the street at Pizza Hut and melted the sign on the Varsity Theater. Witnesses saw flames shoot into Moro and watched the facades of the burning buildings collapse into the street.

The fire was reported at 3:48 a.m. and firefighters responded Shortly after. (Photo by Ivan Kozar) aggieville fire.51 ville inferno (Continued from page 50) The future of the destroyed businesses remained uncertain. Gaines said he would look into rebuilding or finding another location in Aggieville for Greeks Pizzeria. Other affected merchants had no immediate plans to rebuild. Charlie Busch, owner of the building that housed Club Karrington and Adventure Travel, said he would make a decision on whether or not to rebuild after consulting his insurance company. After I find out how much I am insured for and what my loan balance is, then I will decide whether or not to rebuild, he said. Busch ' s building, built in 1915, was one of the oldest in Aggieville. During the depression, the second floor of the building was made into a dance hall and equipped with a spring mounted dance floor, which existed until the fire. The building was a part of history, and it ' s gone now, Deb Taylor, a former K-State student and Manhattan resident, said. We ' d go over from Last Chance to the Avalon (a club previously housed in the building) and dance the night away. Cheryl Sieben, director of the Aggieville Business Association, said other store owners were willing to assist affected merchants in any way they could. Basically, the ABA told the merchants that we would do whatever we could to help them, Sieben said. Right now, we are basically in a supporting role to the business owners. The merchants of Aggieville will pull together and make things better, Sieben said. As of early March, the cause of the fire had not been determined. by jake palenske 52.aggieville fire Eight student firefighters who worked for the Manhattan Fire Department were called to the scene of the Aggieville fire the morning of Feb. 14.

(Photo by Clif Palmberg) fire accounts by nathan The three-alarm emergency created by the Aggieville fire destroyed Club Karrington, Greek ' s Pizzeria, Speed Wash and Adventure Travel, and called on the efforts of student firefighters. Kyle Voth, senior in sociology, was working dispatch when the station received the call. I paged it out and then I called Kevin, he said. It was pretty crazy for a little while there. I never thought it would go that big. Kevin Gill, senior in mass communication, received the call from Voth about 3:45 a.m. He s aid his job was to start calling off-duty personnel back to work. I was telling them that Aggieville was burning down on the phone when I called them up, Gill said. Then the fire chief called the third alarm. After I finished the call-back process, me and some other guys grabbed our gear and hopped in a car to go to the fire. Gill said they could see a glow when they reached Kearney and North Manhattan. All the students got into groups together and one of the chief officers started assigning us jobs, he said. So, we went and got some hose off of a truck, set it up and started spraying water through the back windows of Club Karrington. John Stamey, senior in agricultural engineering, sat on a hose on Moro Street and helped shoot water on the walls for about four hours. It was memorable to see all the sights and sounds and smells of a good fire emergency compared to a smaller one, he said. There was so much going on all at once. aggieville fire.53 parents DROP OFF kids at JARDINE see WILDCAT FOOTBALL Two hours before the Colorado football game started Nov. 15, student parents and alumni started pouring in to assigned rooms in Building of Jardine Terrace Apartments. Then they quietly left their children behind playing with arts and toys and games. The Child Development Center provided child care for about 40 children during home football games giving student parents, like Launa Shirley, senior in accounting, and Brian Shirley, senior in milling science, an alternative to baby sitters. We wanted to go and couldn ' t find a baby sitter, Launa said. All of our friends are students, so they ' re either working or going to the game themselves. Brian said being able to drop off their 18-month-old twins, Danielle and at the center helped them enjoy time at the game together. They would never hold still, he With two of them, they are always going off in different directions. Alumni used the program more due to a center and Alumni Association agreement. I saw 30 or 40 members had actually done it last year, but we just hadn ' t had much publicity, Mary Beggs, director of member services at the Alumni Association, said. We formed a partnership between the Alumni Association and the Child Development Center so we could help them process their payments and promote the program. Beggs agreed to increase publicity state wide. We wrote about it in the alumni magazine, the K- and sent press releases to Manhattan, Kansas City, Topeka, Wichita, Hutchinson and Garden City newspapers, Beggs said. We wanted people to know that if they were coming for a game, there was an alternative to paying a baby sitter all day to watch their kids at home. Sara Congrove and her husband Tim, alumni, said the center ' s convenience appealed to them. They dropped off their two sons, Zack, 5, and Chase, 2. Since we ' re from Kansas City, the kids are closer here, Sara said. It is also more enjoyable for them and us. They are just too wild and too young (to attend games). The center ' s child-care service charged from $25 a game for one child to $45 a game for three or more children. Beggs said the agreement with the Alumni Association gave alumni a 10-percent discount. You can ' t expect a lot of kids to go to a football game, Beggs said. Why should they go if they aren ' t going to enjoy it, and why not go when you know where your kids are at and have a good time yourself? Parents could drop their children off at the center up to two hours before the game and pick them up 1-1 2 hours after the game. Basically, we ' re offering to our families, whether coming from out of town or living in town, the opportunity to spend time with their kids before the game, Lorna Ford, center director, said. They can drop them off during the game and pick them up afterwards for dinner and spend more time together. The center employed 23 full-time employees and 90 to 100 part-time student employees helping them offer a sense of security to parents so they could keep their minds on the game. by sarah irick Saying good-bye to her 5-year-old son Zack, Sara Congrove, K-State alumna from Bonner Springs, Kan., drops off her son at the Jardine child care facility.

It ' s really relaxing to me. When you just hang there, you feel so damn free, Dwyer said. Some people play basketball to vent their frustrations or do martial arts. .I like to come out here and just hang out. Dwyer and six friends packed a 200-foot rope, harnesses, D-clips and figure eights, and then headed to the Tuttle Creek Dam and Reservoir to rappel in early February. I try to come out once or twice a week when it ' s nice, Dwyer said. Usually I go to the spillway, but now that the dam bridge is open, I will probably come here. The Tuttle Creek Dam bridge was a concrete bridge connecting the Tuttle Creek Spillway control tower to the dam. The bridge hung an estimated 70 feet above the limestone-ridden slope that led to Kansas ' largest lake. Megan Willey, freshman in business administration, tagged along with the group Feb.7. As it was Megan ' s first time rappeling, her ashen face told her story. My mind is blank. Basically, I am scared shitless, she said as she checked the tightness of her harness one last time. Good thing I ate my Wheaties this morning. Willey received her first lesson in bridge hanging as Dwyer instructed her over the edge during her descent to the safety of the sunlit earth below. Dwyer had taught the sport for six years. I learned to do this in Boy Scouts at (Continued on page 64) Matt Dwyer, freshman in journalism and mass communications, rappels off the Tuttle Creek Dam and Reservoir dam bridge.

And then, as I learned more, I taught it there also. Some health risks were involved in the sport, Dwyer said. I ' ve got a lot of back problems, and I think this definitely contributes to them, he said. But it ' s also very therapeutic at the same time. I climbed and rappeled in Yellowstone last summer, and as I was on the side of this mountain, the most gorgeous rainbow appeared before us. Not much can compare to that. The outdoor therapy didn ' t come free, Dwyer said. It cost me $200 for the rope, and about $40 for each of my three harnesses, Dwyer said. Basically, I ' ve got about $400 wrapped up in all of it. Tim Ketterman, freshman in business said he met Dwyer and started rappeling at the beginning of the school year. As he stared at the depths below the bridge, Ketterman ' s hands twitched. I love the natural high. It ' s an adrenalin rush, completely. It seems so dangerous, Ketterman said. The fact that you ' re over the edge of a bridge, to fall 75 feet and catch yourself right before you hit the ground makes it just awesome. That thought was cut short only moments later when Ketterman ' s D-clip disengaged, and he hung 60 feet above Tuttle Creek ' s rocky terrain, pale-faced and shaking. Wit h the clip barely intact, he braced the rope and nursed his body to the ground. I was scared to death, Ketterman said, as he finally reached the ground and wrenched the white knots out of his The first thing I did up there was look down, and I thought, ' This is it. This is how it is going to end. ' I guess I don ' t know exactly how to describe just what I was I am just thankful that I made it safely to the bottom. Though he received a scare, Ketterman said he would be willing to do it again. I would have done it again that day, he said. It was my fault the D-Clip wasn ' t attached right. Next time though, I will make sure it ' s tight. Dwyer fastens a figure eight clip to his 200-foot rope at the heighth of the bridge that connects the Tuttle Creek Dam to its control tower. (Photo by Jeff Cooper) 64.hanging free Sitting on the edge of the Tuttle Creek dam bridge, Dwyer contemplates another drop to the lake shore. The relaxation and silence was the best part of rappeling, he said. Rappelers had to obtain a rappeling permit from the park office by presenting two forms of identification before they were allowed to use the reservoir ' s facilities. Dwyer said the park rangers checked permits religiously, but no rangers showed up that day. (Photo by Jeff Cooper) Tim Ketterman, freshman in business administration, eases his way to the ground after his D-Clip disengaged 60 feet above the ground. When he finally stood on solid ground, Ketterman said it scared him to death, but he would definitely try it again.

Taking the first step off the side of the bridge and relying on the rope was the hardest part, he said.

Since she and her husband, President Jon Wefald, came to campus in 1986, Wefald helped with volunteer activities. While people introduced h er as a volunteer and ambassador, Wefald said there was one title she was never comfortable with. First Lady of K-State seems a little too lofty, she said. In a way, I think of myself as a roll-up-your-sleeves, and kind of person. Wefald was instrumental in raising funds for the Marianna Kistler Beach Museum of Art. The art museum has taken an enormous amount of my time. First of all, it was looking at the possibility of having an art museum, Wefald said. The next time I went around the state of Kansas, it was to actually do the fund raising. Wefald also raised funds for studio space for the dance department and helped the Flint Hills Breadbasket. Bob Kruh, co-chair with Wefald on the Planning Committee International Student Center Expansion Project, praised Wefald for her efforts to help K-State. I think she has given so much to the to the point of almost being sacrificial, he said. She is so active in supporting the community that we almost have a hidden asset in the Wefald team. While volunteering was important, her was always her top priority. I view family as very central and key in our lives, she said. I pray for them, and I rejoice in their successes and am saddened when there are tough times. As part of the Christian Science Church board of directors and superintendent of school, Wefald drew support from her faith. Church is very important to me, she said. I begin every day with some time of devotion, reading and prayer. I think it helps lift my thoughts and provide inspiration for the coming day. Support from students and faculty made Wefald ' s days enjoyable, she said. I ' ve never met such friendly, fine, caring, people than here at K-State, she said. It makes it a very place. by marla johnson At the Strecker Gallery opening, Wefald jokes with Dean Mitchell, from Overland Park, Kan. (Photo by Clif Palmberg) ruth ann wefald.67 WARNING!

A guy came out cussing at me because he said he hadn ' t been there for more than 15 minutes, and he said he was going to beat me up, when he started to leave, he tried to run me over, Harteis said. He was a pretty guy that tried to run over me for a $10 parking ticket.

It is not really gross, Jennifer Graves, sophomore in journalism and mass communications, said, but it is so early in the morning, the frying of the grease and cooking makes me sick. I don ' t like cafeterias because my dad has always worked in food service, and I always had to wait in for my dad to get off work, she said. I took the job because I had no money to pay the bills.

A cooperative effort Commerce Bank and K-State let students use the Wildcat card more places than just on campus by adding a variety of to the card. Students have the option of using their ID as a debit and ATM card by opening an account at Commerce Bank, Sandy Clark, manager at the K-State Student Union bank branch, said. It takes money from the account like writing a check would but is electronic. In addition to its duties as a library card, a meal ticket in residence halls and a Wildcat account card, the card also offered long-distance calling services through the Office of Telecommunications. In 1995, university officials started researching ways the card could better serve the university, Jack Thoman, Union business manager, said. Adding banking functions and a phone card to the ID was their answer. People can use one card instead of multiple cards, Thoman said. It puts a banking service in the building, where the market is. Commerce Bank opened its doors in the Union in August, after a multiple-capacity card to the university and competing in a bidding process against other Manhattan banks, he said. It offered the same as a regular branch accounts, loans, money orders, wire certificates of deposit, IRAs and cashier ' s checks. The branch also featured check cashing for non-customers, a service not offered at other Commerce Banks but a Union tradition. The Wildcat Commerce account was accepted at about 40 Manhattan locations, Clark said. About 1,500 students took the of combining the ID and checking accounts. They like to be able to use it off campus, Amy Brungardt, one of six at the Union branch and sophomore in business administration, said. They pay for everything on one card. Commerce ' s nine ATM locations added to the convenience of the card. It ' s easy access to my account, Ron Smith, in music education, said. Otherwise, I ' d have to drive across town. The magnetic strip on the card was broken into sections for each function. One part was for meal and dorm access, while another was for the Wildcat card account information. The remaining sections contained calling card and Commerce Bank account information. The card also featured a smart chip, which was account that could be used at about 50 campus vending machines and print stations, like the copy center in Hale Library.

For Amy, senior in animal science and industry, and Marty Reichenberger, 1997 graduate in horticulture, the trip down the aisle began long before Amy ' s dad escorted her to the alter at the Trinity Lutheran Church in Hanover, Kan., Jan. 10. The two met at an Alpha Gamma Rho fraternity da te party in fall 1996. Marty said he could tell Amy was someone special by the end of the night. I met her at a dance, and she was with somebody else. That night we talked about it, and we ended up up and just talking until 5 o ' clock in the morning, Marty said. Pretty much from when we first met I kind of figured out she might be the one. During the next few months, Amy and Marty ' s relationship grew and shortly before Valentine ' s day, Marty gave Amy his AGR — a greek tradition equivalent to a promise ring. Two months later, on April 23, Marty asked Amy to be his bride. He took me to Harry ' s Uptown and presented the ring on the dessert tray, Amy said. He got down on one knee, and that is how it happened. When the day of the wedding both said they were nervous, but ready for the big day. Amy was at the church by mid-morning making (Continued on page 74) by marla johnson wedding day.73 (Continued from page 73) sure decorations, like the navy, burgundy and cream pew bows and flowers were properly arranged. About 11:30 a.m., Amy began applying her makeup and dressing in her bridal gown with beads and sequins — the very first dress she tried on. Marty arrived shortly after noon and was anxious to see his bride. When she emerged from her dressing room for pictures, a smile spread across his face. She looked beautiful, he said. So After two hours of pictures, Marty and Amy finally retreated to the back of the church and awaited the 3 p.m. start of their wedding. The guests watched as the candlelighters lit candles in the flower-decorated candelabra. Heads turned as the soloist began to sing ' Jesu, Joy of Man ' s Desire, ' and five bridesmaids in long navy dresses, carrying bouquets of rubrum lilies, red roses and eucalyptus berries, slowly walked down the aisle. Amy and her father followed. The double ring ceremony went smoothly, but Marty could tell Amy was nervous. During the Lord ' s Prayer, she was my hand really tight, Marty said. I looked down at my fingers, and they were purple. Shortly after Rev. Rodney Fritz introduced Mr. and Mrs. Reichenberger to the guests, their lips met for the first time as man and wife to seal their vows. The couple, glowing with excitement, walked together out of the church they entered separately only hours before. Both said they were happy with how their special day turned out. I didn ' t think things would fall into place as well as they did, Amy said. Even though you didn ' t tell people to do things, it seemed like they knew what needed to be done. It makes you feel good to be a part of people who know what you want and what you need. After the reception, the bridesmaids and groomsmen kidnapped the new couple and took them to the Arrowhead bar in Hanover for a post-wedding celebration before the dance. The next morning, Marty and Amy left for a five-day honeymoon in Cancun, Mexico, before they started their life together in Independence. A life, which some who knew them, said would be perfect. They are perfect, Megan Walquist, bridesmaid and sophomore in agribusiness, said. She is the conservative kind of girl, and he is the fly-by-the-seat-of-his-pants kind of guy. They ' ll be happy together because they say opposites attract. 74.wedding day Bride to be Amy Reichenberger applies her makeup in the women ' s restroom of the church the morning of the wedding. Jacque Menke and Sara Janssen served as Amy ' s personal attendants to assist her throughout the day. She said the actual wedding day was not as stressful as she expected. I had more trouble at the beginning of the week than I have had in the last two days. I guess it is because it is a lot of planning, and you are worried about if everything went as planned, Amy said. I just can ' t stress enough how thankful I am for all of the people who were here and did all the things they did. (Photo by Clif Palmberg) Rev. Rodney D.

It transcended the chemistry labs and architecture studios and brought peace and direction to some who knew it. That unseen support was faith. I think faith is when someone puts their trust in something that is unseen, Jodi Manns, freshman in kinesiology, said. My faith is very important to me because everyday I choose to trust God. God gives me hope and everything I need, so my faith is of utmost importance. Although more than 45 religious existed at K-State, many students chose not to attend. Without parents around, it is hard for students to turn their parents ' faith into their own faith, Rev. Keith Weber, priest at St. Isidore ' s University Chapel, said. The first two years of college are hardest for students. College life brought new freedom and independence that sometimes challenged students ' faith, but Manns said college solidified her faith. When I got to K-State, I realized how much trust I had actually put in my for everything — including faith, Manns said. It made me take ownership of my faith. I knew what I believed but when I got here, I really had to lean on God alone. Student faith was not limited to religion. Matt Tady, sophomore in theater, put his faith in a personal I ' m agnostic, so I follow my own philosophy. It ' s not an religion, Tady said.

Students should take in new ideas and for themselves what they believe, Tady said. Being at college, there ' s a broad spectrum of religions we didn ' t see generations prior to ours, Tady said. I think it is great for students to be around a variety of faiths and beliefs because it helps students mold ideas about themselves. We should be open to everyone ' s opinion. For many students, faith affected daily Applying that faith gave direction to life, and clarified their existence, Tiffany Stiles, freshman in apparel design, said. Faith is very important because my values and standards are determined by my faith, Stiles said. Everyday I take a look at worldly choices through the eyes of my faith. For Stiles, who lived according to the Mormon doctrine, choices were directed towards leading a life of purity in order to be right with God and go to heaven. I don ' t believe in drinking alcohol, using illegal drugs or having premarital sex, Stiles said. Some people call me old fashioned, but I think it is really just the right way to live life. I think I have twice as much fun growing in my faith as the students who go out and party every weekend. About 2,000 students attended Mass at St. Isidore ' s each weekend, where Weber said the clergy tried to make services interesting to keep attendance high. We try to make Mass powerful and for everyone who comes, he said. That ' s the greatest thing we can do. We also offer opportunities to interact with each other. Despite trying to make services meaningful to students, Mann said many students still their faith. Everyone is built with an internal longing for something that they don ' t have, Manns said. I think God created us like that so we would accept the love that he wants to give us. Michelle Galle sings and to a song during her Bible study Many churches similar Bible study groups.

First-year SHAPE members took the one-semester class to learn the latest information on sexually diseases, prepare and hear speakers. The class was facilitated by returning program members, Burke and Reita Currie, health educator at Lafene. It ' s not your typical class where instructors lecture, Wright said. It ' s more like a group Wright said she enjoyed being part of the group simply because she had the to assist others. It ' s a service she said. I enjoy it because I ' m helping others.

' As students gave more than 100 presentations a year, they often different responses from the groups, Burke said. I like the groups that laugh, Anna Peace, senior in family studies and human services, said. They are easier to talk to than groups who don ' t respond. I think it shows they are more aware and know that it ' s out there. However, I think we still clear up misinformation they may have received.

According to Collegiate Licensing Co., by 1997, Wildcat merchandising entered the waters of high-selling schools like Notre Dame, and Florida State with a No. 25 ranking among all Division 1 universities in the nation. I would think that 10 years ago, you could count the number of people who sold K-State merchandise on a hand, Steve Levin, assistant manager of Varney ' s Bookstore, said. We ' re still a long way from Nebraska. We ' re not quite that way yet, but we ' re getting that way. A 1997 report by National and International Licensing said K-State ' s progress in merchandising sales was as impressive as its football team. In 1986-87, K-State earned an estimated $94,750 with its modest 0-10 football record. By 1996-97, with five consecutive bowl appearances and nine-win seasons under the belt, Wildcat merchandising sales skyrocketed to $5,460,000. Statistically, that meant there was a 5,762-percent increase in merchandising sales in one decade. Ballard chuckled at the high figure. It goes hand-in-hand with the licensing industry, Ballard said. There ' s a huge increase in everyone ' s sales. It ' s gone through the roof. Cat ' s Closet, owned in partnership by the Department of Intercollegiate Athletics and It ' s Greek to Me Inc., was K-State ' s newest merchant and was located on the southwest side of KSU Stadium. Serving more than 1,000 purplehungry customers during the each of the six home football games, Dave Dreiling, CEO of It ' s Greek To Me, claimed to have the widest selection of K-State apparel under one roof. Despite the statistics, Dreiling did not see K-State merchandise taking any more astronomical jumps in the future. I don ' t see a dramatic increase just because the volume is so big, Dreiling said. I could see a singledigit increase on the national level. On the local level we can ' t see much more. Everyone is already buying a ton of it.

Weaver, professor of physics, was one of teachers who integrated new technology in campus classrooms to encourage class His students used a program where they communicated responses to his computer through palmtop computers. Obviously, in lecture classes with 200 people, people don ' t want to sound stupid in front of a huge group by raising their hand and shouting something out that ' s wrong, Jennifer Lucke, freshman in pre-professional secondary education, said. I think it ' s good because we get immediate feedback. Another approach to education was found in Umberger Hall. I can bring in up-to-date material via the web, the Internet, right into the computer, Ottenheimer, professor of anthropology, said. Mostly, I use it to illustrate some of the new music that is emerging by composers who are combining modern music with traditional music of people around the world. Using multimedia equipment in Umberger, Ottenheimer provided students with that could not be found in a textbook. The equipment allowed educators to search for new information on a topic and download sounds, text and images. These were presented on a large movie screen accompanied by sound. Jay Holt, director of information technology in Calvin Hall, said students were not only in terms of course material, they also gained experience with tools they would encounter later in the workplace. The technology also provided more basic improvements. They can read the words now, Ottenheimer said. The first time I was head, I taught one of these large classes. The only thing I had in the room in order to present to the students was a little chalk board that came on rollers. If I wrote anymore than one word on it nobody in the back of the room could understand what I was writing. This is a major step up in the presentation of materials.

The Holbert Center, located at the headquarters of the Konza Prairie Research Natural Area, was remodeled and technologically enhanced by installing phone and computer lines, and adding an educational center, classroom and laboratory. A grant from the National Science Foundation with matching funds from K-State and the Kansas Agricultural Station, totaled $500,000 and funded the renovations, which were completed in September 1996. A big component of the grant was the redesign and construction of the new bison-handling David Harnett, professor and director of the Konza Research Natural Area, said. Now we have state-of-the-art handling pens, scales and a squeeze chute to handle the bison. That has greatly facilitated the research on the Jerry Vestweber, professor in clinical sciences and head for Konza Prairie ' s 200-head buffalo herd, said the pens, which were November 1997, made the annual round up easier. The new working pens are very good. They speed the animals through and help with the overall management of the process, Vestweber said. It is a definite upgrade. Konza Prairie, one of the Midwest ' s premier grassland areas, provided research for students and scientists. We h ave 163 different visiting scientists working on site, Harnett said. Well over 100 different projects are going on covering any of the ecology — the management and The Konza also provided Kelly Stich, veterinary medicine student, an opportunity to work with the buffalo herd. It was nice to see the area and how they work the buffalo, she said. It also gave me a chance to see how the buffalo were different from other animals. Due to a second grant equaling $244,000, received fall 1997 from the NSF, K-State and Kansas Experiment Station, the Konza Prairie would provide research facilities. The new grant will allow us to bring in a T1 line, a fiber optic line, into Konza so we will be directly connected to the university system for internet access, Hartnett said. We will also be several computer work focusing on scientists who work out here and have to data and things like that back to their home institution. The second grant also provided funds to build a firehouse for fire-safety equipment needed to manage the prescribed burning of thousand acres each year. Since one of our primary focuses is fire, we control the frequency and timing by conducting prescribed burns, Harnett said. It is very critical we be able to manage and control where fires occur, and we always have the danger of a wildfire on the prairie. The Konza Prairie was also important to the 10,000 visitors who came to view the herds, or walk the nature trails. Hartnett said the visitors were welcome, but Konza ' s primary purpose had always been research. As we tell the public, we aren ' t a park, he said. We are a biological research area. About 8,161 football fields could fit on the Konza Prairie. The Konza Prairie was home for 209 species of birds. Average rainfall at the Konza Prairie was 33.4 per year. The Holbert Center was constructed in 1912. konza prairie.97 Taking advantage of one of 44 new computers in the Ackert Hall biology lab, April Wiemer, freshman in pre-medicine, and Nancy Navarro, freshman in pre-health professions, work on an assignment.

The physical facility was almost 30 years old and in need of change because it was nearly falling apart, Beth Montelone, associate of biology and grant coordinator, said. We wanted to keep up with advancements. Mark Decker, assistant of biology and project said students accessed through programs he created because commercial programs were not available to purchase. Much of the material we use in class is delivered through what looks like standard Web Decker said. It looks like you are on the Web, but it ' s all just on an local server. Students could also access the program from the class Web site. Students can take a look at it before they get to class and then also after class, Decker said. So if they want to look at stuff before the exam or after class, they can go over things in their dorm, home or from one of the public computer labs. The new program gave students a different perspective on basic biology main thing about that particular is it ' s really easy to create all kinds of stuff the students have some control over, Decker said. Students can look at the three-dimensional models of molecules and this thing so they can look at it through the perspective they want to. Jodi Hansen, sophomore in arts and found the new programming easy to use but not sufficient to understand concepts. It ' s hard to look at a computer program and just learn from it, Hansen said. You just go through the program and write down the and then you ' re not given the right if you get it wrong. It would be more if they lectured over each objective and just had one lab a week. Along with the new computers, the course itself received modifications. An introductory lecture at the beginning of each class replaced a weekly recitation and insured students would have someone to turn to. This is not a course on Decker said. The whole point here is to create an actual tool along with all the other tools that are available, like the microscopes or live specimens for dissections. Instructors used a dual-projection system during lectures. The technology brought the back to student and interaction. This idea of collaborating with you r peers, interaction with others in the class and being actively involved in what is going on in the class is the heart of this teaching, Decker said. feel like they now have the opportunity to get their questions answered. We are getting much more feedback on how well they are understanding the material. As a requirement for a variety of majors, Biology 198 used the technology to give majors an opportunity to better understand the material, Decker said. Matt Hupp, sophomore in construction science, took the class for the second time fall 1997 and said the changes helped improve his grade. You have to have a partner so you have someone to discuss the day ' s lab with, Hupp said. Having a lab partner and the teachers readily available helped me understand the material and the concepts better. by the Numbers The lab included 44 IBM-compatible computers. The previous facilities were 30 years old. biology.99 Art Biological Agricultural Engineering Front row: Gary Woodward, Louann Culley, Diane Dollar, Anna Holcombe.

Instead of working his usual job as inn ' s restaurant supervisor, Snyder spent Sept. 16 as the hotel ' s representative for the Fair in the K-State Student Union. Snyder had not represented the hotel before, but he graduated with a degree in hotel and restaurant management. This is the first time I worked the booth for Holiday Inn, Snyder said, but since I knew the college and I knew the program, I was a choice. Snyder represented one of 250 businesses at the fair. Marcia Schuley, associate director of Career and Employment Services and fair said she made an effort to include more employers than past years. We didn ' t turn any businesses away this year, Schuley said. We filled every inch of space available in the Union. By noon, students had flooded the Union. Winning prizes was a new incentive for students to attend the fair, which drew about 4,000 students, 1,000 more than 1996. One of those students was Adam Young, senior in mechanical engineering. In an hour and 15 minutes, he spoke with representatives from Cessna, Boeing, Learjet, Raytheon, Exxon, Koch Industries and General Motors . I think it helps them find out what jobs are out there and what businesses are looking for, Young said. It gets you contacts in the business world for future jobs. Snyder said he was impressed by the large number of internships and references students had. There were quite a few of them who had a lot of experience, Snyder said. There were people who already had six or seven jobs in our major. After being part of the fair from a business ' perspective, Snyder said it benefited both students and employers. It gives us a chance to meet the students who will be in the business in a few years, Snyder said. It gives them a chance to see what ' s out there and meet people in the industry.

The students will also get a new perspective on U.S. accounting because they will more clearly there is a U.S. philosophy of accounting. It ' s difficult to see if they never get outside of it and look back. RP: What other changes do you foresee? FG: It is already a strong department. What hope to do is consolidate what is already here keep it on the cutting edge. We, as teachers, are going to have to stay abreast of the latest to pass that on effectively to our That may be our greatest challenge. RP: How does K-State prepare students for accounting careers? FG: We don ' t treat accounting as something separate. It is taught as part of the business There is a lot of work with interpersonal skills, teamwork and presentation — skills that help in the business environment. Accounting is not cut and dry. That ' s a misconception; there often no answers. We want students to have ability to solve those problems on their own.

The celebration honored Farrell in its final days. We are trying to celebrate the old and welcome the new, Karen Rogers, celebration committee chairperson, said. As K-State said goodbye to Farrell, it welcomed Hale Library. After a $30 million renovation to the building, the chief financial contributors, Joe and Joyce Hale, became the new namesake o f the library. Neither of the Hales attended K-State, but their interest in the university began when one of their children attended the university. Two more of their six children later called K-State their alma mater. They were so impressed because K-State would send them information and then keep in contact with them, Karen Young, the couple ' s daughter, said. That was the Hale ' s first exposure to purple pride, but it continued for years. Eventually, it influenced them to help fund the renovated library. We were approached that K-State had quite a few needs that could be met by private donors, Joyce said. In talking it over, our kids said the library was really something that needed rejuvenation. The Hales decided to contribute to the library renovation. As private donations amounted to about $5 million, campus leaders, administrators, legislators and students joined the push for the new facility in 1987.

Hammel, director of media services for the College of Education, ran in the 26.2-mile Oct. 19, to celebrate five years in remission from leukemia and to raise money for the Leukemia of America Team in Training program. When I started getting tired, the first thing I thought of was five years ago I was sitting in a hospital and couldn ' t even go outside, Hammel said, remembering her bone-marrow transplant. Then I started thinking about all the people who were still sitting in the hospitals. That was my The Team in Training program matched runners with cancer patients. Hammel had already two marathons as a patient, but she got a chance to run for two people in Chicago — in memory of a friend and in honor of a For fellow runners, like Earl Gaughan, professor of clinical sciences, Hammel ' s was inspiring. It ' s an awesome thing when you consider it, he said. To do this and try to help other people I think is pretty amazing. I think she ' s proved just because she ' s dealt with something herself doesn ' t mean she can ' t help others. She ' s a living example of that. To run in the race, Hammel had to raise $1,800. She received that amount within 10 days of mailing 225 letters to friends and family. By the time she left for the race, she had raised $5,744. A lot of this money goes to research, but a lot of it stays in the state to help patients, she said. They have a patient-aid program, and they ' ll pay for your traveling expenses when you have to go for treatments. That ' s what they helped me out with a lot. They paid my mileage because I had to go back and forth to KU Med Center once or twice a week. Although more a walker than a runner, Hammel began training for the marathon about one year in It ' s a really big commitment in training time; I found that out this summer, she said. It ' s difficult finding the time. When Hammel left for the marathon, the farthest she had run was 16 miles. She had planned on walking most of the marathon but wanted to leave with a medal. That meant she had to finish the race in less than 5-1 2 hours. When I got to mile 21, the clock said four hours exactly, Hammel said. I thought I did pretty good. I was going faster on some portions than I thought I would. Hammel met her goal. She finished in five hours and six minutes. Her successful finish was no surprise to Hammel ' s brother and bone marrow donor, John Spicer. Getting to know her more closely now, I see she is a survivor, and survivors persevere, Spicer said. Thus, I would say the same perseverance — drive, you might say — that helped her recover, got her to the finish line. She did not give up when she became ill, and she showed she is a fighter who is not going to just toss in the towel. by the Numbers Mary Hammel celebrated five years in remission.

Aleksanda r Vujic, conductor of the Simfonicta Beograd Chamber Orchestra in Belgrade, Yugoslavia, and an associate professor at the University of Belgrade, said he composed Gloria for the K-State choir. When I heard the choir in Munich, I was very pleased with the quality of the choir, Vujic said. I wrote this song, ' Gloria, ' and dedicated it to Kansas State University and Rod Walker. Walker, director of choral activities, spent the early months of the fall semester teaching Gloria to his students. Five rehearsals a week, coupled with the piece ' s difficulty, made Vujic ' s arrival even more welcome. Vujic conducted the choir during a rehearsal at All Faiths Chapel prior to the Nov. 11 world premiere of the song. When I prepare a song in rehearsal, I treat it just as notes and rhythm and whatever dynamics the composer has written on the manuscript, and this piece is loaded with all of that, Walker said. When Aleksandar got here, he began adding things and changing things. Walker said Vujic ' s presence gave students a unique insight of the composer ' s methodology. The composer has only conceived a piece in his head without actually hearing it. Walker said. It ' s just great for me and fun for the kids to watch the creative process unfold in front of them and to hear the piece the way he it. Vujic said he was honored to have a influence on K-State choir members. It is a wonderful experience when you are a composer and you are listening to your own piece through one very good instrument, Vujic said. A choir is one instrument. The Kansas State choir is so well trained that they know it better than I know it. To reach that level, the choir spent almost three months of rehearsal learning the piece. An unorthodox collaboration of voice, piano and timpani, Gloria was a tribute to K-State merely because Vujic believed in the choir ' s to learn it. The intention, when I was composing it, was to make a piece full of rhythm, full of life that young people can enjoy, Vujic said. Young people like music, and they should sing something they like and that has interesting rhythm. That rhythm — an 9 8 time — raised eyebrows during initial rehearsals. It took a lot of long rehearsals to learn the song, but it was probably just as hard for Dr. Walker to conduct it, Tim Bonnell, senior in voice performance, said. This is a 34-page song written by a 20th-century composer. It has a lot of sharps and flats, and it has an uneven rhythm. I take it as a he dedicated it to K-State and then entrusted us to do the world premiere. Walker also considered Vujic ' s visit a credit to K-State. Aleksandar has a lot of respect for the choir and what we do here. Having him here is a opportunity for the choir to grow and to learn, Walker said. This is what the university experience is all about. by the Numbers Aleksander Vujic first heard the choir five years ago. Gloria world premiere Nov.11 The song ' s rhythm was notated in a 9 8 time signature. The original song, was 34 pages long. 112.international composer In All Faiths Chapel, Aleksandar Vujic, conductor of the Simfonicta Beograd Orchestra in Belgrade, Yugoslavia, conducts the choir during a practice prior to the Nov. 11 world premire of the song ' Gloria ' After he saw the group perform in Munich, Germany, Vujic wrote the song specifically for the choir and dedicated the song to the choir and director Rod Walker.

On the traditionally bewitched day in 1994, Kastner, senior in food science and industry, filed for a position on the Manhattan City Commission. That action helped Kastner gain the needed to win the $30,000 Truman Scholarship. I had established a goal in January 1994 that I wanted to get involved somehow in city government, Kastner said. I felt the City Commission was a place I could contribute something. So after finals week in December, I met with several community put together the campaign and filed on Friday the 13th. Kastner said winning a spot on City Commission and being the youngest city commissioner in the country was a big reason, but not the only reason he won the scholarship. I think it would be foolish for me to say being on the didn ' t help, Kastner said. I like to think whatever I had or I developed over the past two years served me well both on the commission and in the scholarship process. Kastner said he became a better leader during his two-year term on Manhattan ' s City Commission. I think the daily interaction with people concerning tough issues and having to be analytical about public policy definitely helped, he said. You really have to work to understand all the issues the people are concerned with. Beth Powers, scholarship adviser, agreed Kastner ' s term on the commission helped. On the commission, he had to listen to the perspectives of various groups in the community, Powers said. Learning to to all of the different voices and finding a way to address their needs and trying to make policies has really helped his of leadership abilities. Regardless of his involvement on the City Commission, Kastner gained leadership experience in Chimes Junior Honorary and Blue Key Senior Honorary In Blue Key we help teach a freshman leadership course, and we also perform on-campus seminars about leadership he said. I really enjoy helping out with seminars or about leadership issues to raise people ' s awareness in the community. Kastner delayed graduation a year to pursue a minor in leadership studies. His choice enabled him to accept the Truman. Of the $30,000 the Truman provided for, $3,000 went to his senior year and $27,000 would go to graduate studies at the of Texas. In Houston, he planned to study public health. Fellow city commissioner, Bruce Snead said Kastner ' s qualities contributed to his success with the City and would make him a success in whatever he did. He ' s been committed to his community as long as anyone can remember, Snead said. His experience is probably unique if not singular among the Truman applicants. Not many people can say they are or have served on a City Commission for a town of 40,000 people. Truman scholar embarks on road to SUCCESS 114. kastner mugler Director of Programs for the College of Agriculture David Mugler, calls it quits after serving for more than 30 years. Former student Anna Barrett, said Mugler was an excellent liaison for students and alumni. Mr. Mugler effectively bridges the gap between students and alumni. He kept the alumni just as enthused about K-State as he does the students, Barrett said. I think he pushes students and alumni to bring more of this positive attitude into the business and organizations they belong to. Colleague Larry Erpelding, said Mugler ' s attitude would be missed. He has provided an excellent model for students, and faculty. His positive influence has not only been felt in our college but throughout the university. (Photo by Clif Palmberg) DEDICATION leads to 30 years of teaching service David Mugler more than three decades of devotion to the College of Agriculture, David Mugler, associate dean and director of academic programs, left his Waters Hall office. A I ' ve been having fun for 34 years, and I think it ' s time I let someone else have all the fun, Mugler said. In this position, I get to work with students, faculty and alumni, so I get the best of all worlds. Mugler graduated from K-State in 1959 with a bachelor ' s degree in food science. Five years later, he became assistant dean of agriculture. Anna Barrett, 1992 graduate in agricultural journalism, first met Mugler during her agricultural orientation class, one of the numerous classes Mugler instructed over the years. He brought such enthusiasm to every topic, making us believe we were at the best university, in the best college, in the best town possible, Barrett said. This enthusiasm helped me get settled into being at K-State and becoming interested in College of Agriculture activities. Mugler also played a role in bringing students to the university. Jeff Sutton, sophomore in agricultural journalism, met Mugler at a K-State recruiting event and said Mugler spent the evening getting to know him on a personal level. If it weren ' t for him, I wouldn ' t even be in the College of Agriculture, Sutton said. It will be tough to see Dr. Mugler go. After his retirement in June, Mugler said he and his wife planned to live in Manhattan, trave l and spend time with their family. Mugler said he also planned to remain in contact with the college. The College of Agriculture and Kansas State University have been so good to me, Mugler said, and I am anxious to find ways to continue to support them. by Linda Albers kastner mugler.115 art work raises money art auction raises $18,000 for department scholarships by russell fortmeyer the bidding begin. With those words uttered by former art member Pat Hagan, the Department of Art ' s art auction got off to a fast pace of buying and selling. The Nov. 1 auction was filled with fierce bidding and the spirit of generosity as 200 raised more than $18,000 for scholarships. The auction honored Hagan, who began the auctions with colleague Jack O ' Shea, assistant professor of art, in the early 1970s. The discontinued when Hagan retired in 1990. It ' s been 10 years since the last auction. This year ' s auction was fantastic from a financial standpoint, Hagan said. People were more enthusiastic because it has been so long. The auction, which filled Wamego ' s Columbian Theater, featured work by New York artist Alan Shields, photographer Gordon Parks, locals Jim Munce and Yoshiro Ikeda, and Overland Park, Kan., artist Dean Mitchell. All of the art was donated by the artists or owners. Laura Fatemi, auction organizer and assistant gallery manager at the Marianna Kistler Beach Museum of Art, donated one of her own works and said the money raised surpassed They went higher than we expected, Fatemi said. It was a great turnout. In the past, they never sold a piece before for $1, 000. Anna Holcombe, art department chair, said she donated a work because she believed in scholarships. I don ' t have a great deal of money to give, she said, but I do have my art. Holcombe said most of the $18,000 went to the department ' s general scholarship fund, yielding a $900-per year scholarship. Six percent of the money went to the Pat Hagan scholarship fund for graphic design students. Kevin Johnston, senior in fine arts, received an art department scholarship and said he used the money to offset art supply costs. It ' s nice to have to take pressure off of supplies, Johnston said.

The students were required to develop designs for six historical Kansas theaters. The theater my group worked on was the Grainfield Opera House, Cadena, senior in architecture, said. It was built in the 1800s and had no plumbing. Greg Nelson, senior in interior architecture, worked on the Jayhawk Theater in Topeka. The standards have changed over time, and they can ' t necessarily go back to being the they were in their time, Nelson said. We have to adapt it to today. The buildings had to be made handicap and air conditioning and other conveniences had to be added while sensitive to historic details. We couldn ' t just go in and rip the plaster out, Nelson said. These are historic buildings. Although it was the 10th year Jim Dubois, professor of interior architecture, taught the class, he said it was the first time the class took on more than one project. It was challenging because I had to be at each of the groups ' meetings, Dubois said. I had to go to Emporia, then Topeka, and then turn around and go to Grainfield. This increased travel added to costs, but owners contributed mini-grants to help out. For Cadena, the project was a lesson in and gave real-world job experience. We spent a lot of time in school being told ' that ' s not technically correct, ' Cadena said, but when you are dealing with other people ' s money, you have to take their opinion into whether it is technically correct or not. It was great to meet that challenge.

There were some times when we were biting down on our nails and if it would really happen, said Manuri Nakkawita, International Coordinating Council president and senior in journalism and mass The was amazing. We actually got to see it all occur. For the nearly 900 international students, it was time for the Since the center opened in 1977, the international student population had almost doubled. We did not have a larger room where we could come together and socialize, said Khatazo Gwakuba, ICC co-vice president and student in secondary education. An international center should be a center where international students feel we are at home. Staffing needs also created for the center, Jim Endrizzi, center program coordinator, said. Two staff members worked in one building and three worked in the other. Most staff members shared office space, so they did not have privacy to discuss matters, like immigration. It ' s created a big gap when we are with and we need to talk to each other because we have to walk outside, Endrizzi said. We took over the student lounge to expand staff. I think we ' ve taken over the home-like feeling of the building. Endrizzi said he saw the effects of the student space. I think we ' ve seen the number of students using the building decrease in the evening hours because there ' s nowhere for them to really study, he said. The center is not being utilized by students right now because we need that space for staffing needs. Planning for the expansion began about 2- 1 2 years before the groundbreaking. Initial plans called to connect the center ' s two buildings. That would have messed up the neat design of the buildings and wouldn ' t have given us much more space, Donna Davis, center director, said. I think some of the architects on our own faculty and with facilities noted that plan was really a Band-Aid. The first phase included a multimedia resource center, funded by Korean alumni and supporters, and was planned for completion in fall 1998. The center would allow to access TV programs from their home countries. I think the idea of the multimedia room has excited a lot of people, Endrizzi said. Just the idea that they can get the somewhere is exciting. With the addition of the Taiwan wing, the project added 1,613-square feet to the 4,410-square-foot building. Joe Tiao, fund-raising committee member, raised more than $250,000 from Taiwanese supporters for the wing. The improved center and expanded services could be a selling point for international at K-State, Davis said. I think K-State is also going to be starting some more recruiting of international students because we ' re way behind our peer schools, Davis said. Now that we are in a better position to provide services, we ' re in a better position to help the University. by the Numbers Construction will be done in three phases. The addition was in the planning stage for 2-1 2 years. The project will add 1,613 square feet to the center. More than $250,000 was donated for the Taiwan wing. 120.international center About 100 people gather in the courtyard of the International Student Center for a groundbreaking ceremony to expand the center.

About 30 students participated in K-State and MCC ' s dual-degree program, which them to take courses on both campuses. I knew I wanted to be a school teacher, but I also knew I wanted to go to a Christian said Mandy Jaggard, freshman in second- ary education at K-State and family life ministries at MCC. I love getting the secular and the Bible education, so it ' s the best of both worlds. Ron Brown, MCC registrar, said students pursuing a dual degree attended classes at both colleges to earn secular and Christian educa- tions. The program is put together to find the and most logical way for students to earn their degrees from both colleges, Brown said. We try to help find places students can transfer hours so they can complete their degree in the shortest amount of time possible. The dual-degree program was an asset for both colleges in attracting prospective students. I was going to go to another Christian school with a dual-degree program, said Brianna Schulze, sophomore in environmental design at K-State and Christian services at MCC. The program wasn ' t as good as the one with K-State, so that was a big deciding factor. The larger student population at K-State also provided opportunities for MCC students to witness, Jaggard said. I like the small college, and I like the big college, too, Jaggard said. I like coming here (MCC) because you are bombarded with views, and when you walk across the street it is like a huge witnessing field. Since the two colleges varied in size and teachings, Brown said the program provided a well-rounded education. The opportunity to have Christian training as well as a secular education rounds out a he said. The Christian perspective is and necessary in this world. You will use your faith if you are a computer programmer or a preacher.

Christopher Outstanding Leadership Award Sept. 26, one day before her birthday. Maes received the award recognizing regional level leadership in the UCEA at the annual conference in Grand Fork, N.D. I was sitting beside the man who had just finished being president of the national association. It made perfect sense he ' d get the award, Maes said. I didn ' t know I was getting it. I was absolutely surprised. The award recognized Maes ' work in the UCEA, an that expanded opportunities for part-time students on Since Maes was nominated by other members, she said she felt flattered to win the award. It ' s an honor to be recognized by colleagues, Maes said. It ' s significant when people are recognized for their hard work. One colleague, in particular, appreciated Maes ' leadership skills. In 1994, Maes worked with Judy Miller, professor and head of the Department of Hotel, Restaurant, Institution Management and Dietetics. They wrote a successful grant to fund distance- learning dietetics courses across Kansas. I ' m confident the grant wouldn ' t have been funded with- out her help, Miller said. She goes the extra mile. She makes the effort. She was just incredibly helpful in providing leader- ship to organize those efforts. As president-elect of UCEA, Maes put those organizational skills to work while attending regional meetings and planning the 1999 national conference. Her ability to plan events benefited the organization, she said. My leadership helps members network, Maes said. Net- working in your profession can build your skills while learning from the skills of other people. Miller praised Maes for her willingness to help people. I think she ' s truly very insightful and helpful, she said. She ' s a great resource for us. She is a super person, and she ' s a great asset to this university. Maes ' ability to work with people was another asset, Mary DeLuccie, assistant professor of family studies and human ser- vice, said. Maes assisted DeLuccie in writing a grant for the U.S. Department of Education, which started in fall 1996. She doesn ' t get bogged down with details, DeLuccie said. She ' s very people oriented and helps them to refine ideas. She ' s excited to work with people with good ideas. Maes ' characteristics made working with her a successful ex- perience, DeLuccie said. She ' s wonderful to work with, DeLuccie said. She has wonderful organizational skills, communication skills and knowl- edge. She certainly has helped me in my professional develop- ment. Sue Maes, senior development officer for the Educational Communications Center and president-elect of the University Continuing Education Association, was awarded the Region V John L. Christopher Outstanding Leadership Award Sept. 26 Colleagues said Maes ' leadership qualities made her easy to work with.

Selected by a student-body vote during Homecom- ing week, Oct. 13-18, Jason Heinrich, junior in indus- trial engineering, and Sara Reser, junior in marketing, represented the campus as Student Ambassadors. As ambassadors, they traveled the state giving five to 10 minute presentations about student life at 10 college nights and about 30 alumni-student events. Both of them have had great K-State experiences, Heather Lansdowne, assistant director of alumni pro- grams and ambassador sponsor, said. They ' ve had an experience with a broad involvement on campus and can represent the different facets of the university. Being involved in several organizations including Order of Omega, Golden Key National Honorary Society and Kappa Kappa Gamma sorority helped provide background experience for Reser. I also work in the campus visits office, and I love K-State, so I love talking to students about it, Reser said. We ' re pretty much all about recruiting people. Despite being active in Student Ambassador Board, Intrafraternity Council and Lambda Chi Alpha frater- nity, Heinrich found balancing ambassador duties with class work an easy task. It ' s definitely more fun than stressful, Heinrich said. The only thing that is really strenuous is if you have one, two or more tests that week you ' re trying to prepare for. When you ' re taking the long bus trip, you don ' t really get a lot of study time with 10 other people. Both agreed meeting being able to talk to prospec- tive students made the long nights worthwhile. You ' re hanging around the best people who work at K-State and go to school here, Heinrich said. You really get to meet everybody and talk about the things you love — K-State. orchestra performs unusual piece of modern music g out of tune and creating grating sounds s music to one conductor ' s ears. David Littrell, associate professor of music and orchestra director, decided it was time for the orchestra to play something contemporary. I wanted to do a piece from the 20th century since it ' s almost over, Littrell said. Littrell put his students to the test by choos- ing a composition that screeched with uncon- ventionality: Threnody to the Victims of Hiroshima by Penderecki. I had known about this piece since I was a student here in the 1970s. I had always wanted to play it, and this year just seemed like the right time, Littrell said. I enjoy exposing the stu- dents to many different kinds of music. The piece was written for strings only, and the 44 musicians had to learn unconditional techniques for the performance. Students knocked on their instruments and bounced the •by anne schreiber wood of their bows across the strings. To create dissonance, players within the same sections played different notes — sometimes with dif- ferent entrances. Modern classical music is not supposed to sound good, Melissa Lampe, cellist and senior in computer science, said. It is meant to por- tray emotions. The Penderecki portrays the an- ger, hostility and pain of the bombing of Hiroshima in World War II. In addition to the Penderecki p iece, the orchestra also played Ludwig van Beethoven ' s Fifth Symphony in C Minor and Piotr Tchaikovsky ' s Romeo and Juliet Fantasy at the Dec. 2 concert. The classics are still my favorite, but I doing a song that is different, Becky Jacobs, violinist and junior in marketing and manage- ment, said. The song lasts just eight minutes, but you won ' t forget it.

Students enrolled in the Commodity Options Trading Seminar in the College _of Agriculture experienced market surprises firsthand when the Dow Jones industrial aver- age plunged nearly 500 points. This fall happened so quickly, and we didn ' t know it was coming, Lance Weber, senior in agricultural economics, said. This was a learn- ing experience for our class. Ted Schroeder, professor of agricultural eco- nomics, formed the class to help prepare stu- dents for the ups and downs of commodities. His students experienced real-life situations by investing their money in the futures market. We invested $100 per share, and we could have invested up to $300 in the class, Weber said. This way, our class actually had money to invest. Throughout the semester, students invested in several different commodities. We had experience investing with soybeans, wheat, corn and cotton, Weber said. For some reason, soybeans were the most favorable trade. By investing in the futures market, students were in charge of minimizing their own risk. Since students invested their own money, they were very motivat ed to research the differ- ent factors like demand or weather that cause the commodity prices to rise or fall, Schroeder said. Students had access to the latest crop reports, weather forecasts and commodity prices via computers. Students said the technology helped them make educated trading decisions. Weber said the class prepared him for life after college. I have passed the brokerage exam and plan on starting my life as a broker as soon as I gradu- ate, he said. I am ready to get to work.

We teach them how to identify the product from the standpoint of what it is, not just the quality, he said. Identification of the meat is important. Shana Krainbill, senior in hotel and restau- rant management, said she liked the hands-on experience the class provided. I like it so much more than just reading it out of a book, she said. You learn so much. For people who are in hotel and restaurant man- agement, it helps in the long run. Krainbill said when she went to the store she knew what to look for in meats and what the labels meant. That practical knowledge was ben- eficial for students with other majors, as well. Anybody who gets meat should take this class. It makes you a better consumer, she said. You know what quality and color is. Anyone who gets the opportunity to take this class should. The class took people who had no clue about the meat industry and gave them ideas about industry operation, Hays said. It brings people from different parts of cam- pus together. You get people from all aspects, he said. Mr. Kastner knows what he is talking about. rench fries and chicken sandwiches were left w lien the Whopper was taken from the Burger King menu in August. Meat contaminated with E.coli hit Manhattan in the summer, stressing the importance of food safety. Curtis Kastner, professor of animal sciences and industry, who had taught Meat Selection and Utilization for years, said recent scares heightened the need for bacteria control. Kastner even incorporated that concern into his teaching. We have recently tried to incorporate em- phasizing microbial safety at the food service wholesale and retail level, Kastner said. It is something that had to be done. He taught bacteria control because many of his students would be dealing with meat prod- ucts and needed to experi ence food safety first- hand. Tim Hays, senior in animal science and in- dustry, said classes like Kastner ' s were impor- tant due to misconceptions about the meat in- dustry The safety aspect is huge. A lot of people think because of outbreaks, food isn ' t safe. No food is safe per se, he said. Meat processors spend millions of dollars each year to ensure safety. If they weren ' t safe, they wouldn ' t be open. Kastner said the class objective was to teach meat selection and utilization Linette Heintz, senior in hotel and restaurant management, slices into a piece of meat during her class on Nov. 25. Although the Meat Selection and Utilization class was considered an animal science and industry class, hotel and restaurant management students took the class to enhance their knowledge of the meat industry.

Paul said because of his age, he had planned all along get married while he was still in school. Naomi said she the parenting part would come later in the arriage. I think you could ask anybody, and they would tell ou that you are never ready to have a baby, she said. Kids are great as long as you give them back when they , get fussy. Nothing compares to having your own. It ' s a lot of work but definitely worth it.

(Photo by Brandon White) (Continued from page 132) Naomi was a part-time student during spring semester 1997 due to the pregnancy; Katherine was born June 10. Still planning to finish their education, child care became an issue for the Kitchens. We didn ' t want her in daycare, Naomi said. We thought she would be better off with us. Money was a secondary consideration, but we really wanted her to be with us. The couple said professors were understanding of their situation. Dr. Byrne came up to me the first time I had an exam and asked where the baby was, Paul said. When I told him she was at a baby sitter, he said not to worry about it anymore; he would take care of the baby. David Byrne, professor of education, said it was exciting Paul brought his daughter to class. It ' s an acceptable way for young, married couples to keep up with their education. Plus, I just love babies, he said. Now, if all 150 students had their kids, it might be a little tough. Katherine also offered an opportunity to learn about a different aspect of life, Jack Holl, professor of history, said. It generally works out just fine if a child is as well behaved as Katherine, Holl said. Students laugh and chuckle at the baby ' s antics. They are really probably learning more. I don ' t think it takes away from learning at all. Outside parenthood, Naomi said keeping the marital relationship strong was a big concern. We really try to focus on each other, she said. We try to work on each other as a couple. The Kitchens planned Friday nights as date nights, but Katherine usually went along. They said young people or retired couples in their neighborhood were happy to baby-sit when they needed to get away. Both parents attended school part time, and Naomi • stayed home with Katherine while Paul worked for the KSU Alumni Association and as a church custodian. Paul said the work would lead to priceless rewards in the future. She (Naomi) has a busier job than I do; at least I can leave, he said. That ' s why I am going to school — to get a good job to where I can spend lots of time with my kids • later on. children With Katherine strapped securely to his back, Paul walks Naomi to her next class. If the Kitchens had wanted to place Katherine in daycare, KinderCare Learning Centers was the only community-run daycare available offering infant care. Lisa Richards, director of KinderCare, said there was generally a list of at least five parents waiting to get their infants into the program. Spots open up only as the children move up in the age categories to where they are not considered an infant anymore, she said. (Photo by Brandon White) Naomi reaches to pick up a pen that Katherine knocked off her desk. Lorna Ford, director of the KSU Child Development Center, said she saw the lack of infant care on campus as the biggest child-care problem in the community. Parents basically have to rely on home care, Ford said. There is not a lot of other options open to them. Two community daycare centers considered increasing their child care to include infants. KSU Child Development Center submitted a grant application for $21,000 in hopes of extending their services to include six infant spots. An expansion project for Hoeflin Stone House Child Care Center was projected to break ground May 2. That would double the building ' s size, but nothing concrete was known about future programs.(Photo by Brandon White) children.

For Natalia Farmer, of Manchester, England, and Eva Novotna, of Pardubice, Czech Republic, the opportunity to attend an American univer sity was a rare chance. A year and a half ago, I really didn ' t think I would come to the U.S., Novotna, freshman in English language program, said. I knew it was possible to go here and study here, but I thought it was never going to happen. The two received full scholarships to play tennis. We don ' t have anything like this in England, Farmer, freshman in pre-journalism and mass communications, said. We don ' t have college teams for sports. Adjusting to life far from home was easy, Farmer said. I ' ve handled it fine, she said. I thought before I came, how the hell am I going to cope? Sharing a room in West Hall made adjusting easier. We ' ve got in common all the same things, Farmer said. I ' m glad I ' m sharing a room with Eva, instead of normal American girls because they wouldn ' t understand. The U.S. night life and drinking views were different. At home everything closes at six in the morning, and here everything closes at two, Farmer said. The night is just starting at two. Farmer said the way people interact also differed. They are so nice to me because I am from England, she said. If an American came to England, nobody would be so welcoming, and no one would care. Both said K-State provided a better education. For me, it ' s like getting a better education because the way I am studying a foreign language, Novotna said. Back home a lot of people speak English but not as well as the companies need. Both said they enjoyed K-State ' s freedom and neither had regrets about their choice. I wouldn ' t swap it for a university in England, Farmer said. It ' s nice to see a different culture and meet people from different countries.

The apartment in Munich, Germany, became Alice Williams ' home away from home while attending Ludwig-Maximillian University of Munich. Williams, senior in pre-law, was one of seven students who lived and studied in Germany from September 1996 to August 1997 with the K-State Munich scholarship. Although Williams tried to Americanize her apartment, it still had European peculiarities. The bathroom was plastic, Williams said. It was like the space shuttle. People going in would be like, ' Countdown: five, four, three, two... ' Prior to her trip, Williams worked for former scholarship Nancy Twiss, who said Williams spent her time in Germany wisely. It was Alice ' s spirit of adventure that led her to study abroad, Twiss said. She made exceptional use of her time through study, through friendships with people from many and in doing volunteer work while she was abroad. The trip was Williams ' second year-long stay in Germany. After graduating from high school, she lived with a German as an exchange student I spoke German. I ' ve studied German, and I wanted to go to a German college, so that was a pretty neat option, Williams said. I really wanted an academic challenge. Williams said one challenge was adapting to the difference in the German educational system. You enroll by pencil at this university of 65,000 people, Williams said. There ' s no unified computer system. It took me 2-1 2 months to get an e-mail address, and within 4-1 2 months of having it, they erased my account. The university ' s sink-or-swim attitude was also a change, she said. You don ' t have an adviser. You don ' t have anyone there to say, ' Go this way. Take these classes. Try these professors, ' said. It was just, ' Here you are. Here ' s your enrollment sheet. Good luck. ' While there, one of Williams ' professors helped her earn an internship at the Center for Applied Policy Research, working in a research group on European affairs. Her English was an asset to the group. I did a lot of editing for their English papers, Williams said. My English isn ' t perfect, and the German ' s English isn ' t perfect, but they ' d say, ' Hey Alice, we want to use this. We want to analyze this. Could you please help it make sense? Cross all the er- rors. Find a way that maybe we could phrase this better, ' so I would correct it and give it to them. Williams said she wanted a career with global impact. My eventual goal is international public service — setting policy or some kind of international work, Williams said. I ' m interested in that, but that could happen six years down the road. by Aaron Fruehling Out of the seven K- State Munich winners, Alic e Williams, in pre-law, is the only student who lived in Munich, Germany. Williams said after graduation she wanted to continue her travels. I ' d like to take a year off and go somewhere besides Germany definitely, she said. Maybe that means eastern Europe, working with there. (Photo by Brandon White) Sharon Cress munches on a potato chip.

The crunchometer became the first-known device to successfully measure the movement of subjects ' jaw muscles as they sampled food. Different textures have different muscle movements, Fengtang Wang, graduate student in grain science, said. We want to quantify this data. Spearheaded by Susan Sun, professor of grain science and graduate students in grain science began designing the device in April 1996. The crunchometer used attached to subjects ' faces to measure the electrical activity in their jaw muscles and record the muscles ' movements. The information was collected by a and Wang used the data to determine the food ' s crispness, and hardness. Because of human emotion and variations of opinion from subject to subject, human testing caused the greatest portion of error in test Sometimes we get sick; we get angry; we get sad. We have a lot of emotions, Mui Lin Cheong, graduate student in grain science, said. That might effect taste factors. Ii might effect sensory factors. For a company to test one characteristic of • a food product, between 100 and 200 panelists had to be hired and trained. That could cost up • to $12,000, Cheong said. We just cringe sometimes when we think . we have to spend so much money just to collect some data, she said. In the end, this work may help eliminate these costs. Researchers planned to use the information gained from the project to develop more precise and less expensive methods of food testing. Right now there ' s nothing on the market that simulates the dynamic force of mouth movements when you chew, Cheong said. Hopefully, in the future we can take all this data and put together a machine that can simulate a eating. Testing food with this will give the most precise results because it will eliminate the human factor. With the first portion of the project completed, Sun said they • only needed additional funding to develop a more advanced crunchometer.

About 12 students formed the Paintball Club in the spring to increase recognition about the sport and recruit players for a tournament team. Mortar Board members recruited volunteers to work at a different kind of tournament. More than 100 people helped coordinate and judge the Decathalon Jan. 23 and 24.

The robot was required to move into a room and recognize specific objects found in a house or office. It then had to move toward the object, pick it up with its mechanical arm and bring it back out of the room. There were six objects in all. The event ' s organizer didn ' t expect anyone to pick up more than one object; we did all six, David Gustafson, Robotics Team adviser, said. The other teams dropped out after the first round. Members won using less money than the other teams. They used a pre-built robot which cost less than the Todd Pratter, senior in computer said. Because K-State ' s robot was pre-built, programming its ' brain ' to accomplish the tasks provided the brunt of the work. We had to develop a system that knew how to recover from faults, David Gustafson said. The software has to be able to adapt to changing environments. If somebody stands in its way, it has to be able to know what to do next. Developing such a system re- quired a time commitment with work beginning in the first month of the year, Pratter said. We worked on it all pretty much separately for several months, he said. The night before we packed everything up and headed up there, we gave it one final little run through, and that was the first time it had actually worked perfectly. We were feeling pretty good. Not all of the problem solving had been The new environment provided the last obstacle to Once we got up there, we found out everything was Pratter said. They had these really bright xenon lamps. It really screwed up the pictures from the camera, so we had to really scramble to ad- just everything so things would be recognized. The experience proved beneficial to the team members, David Gustafson said. I think it ' s marvelous for them to go and meet students from other universities and get the experience of competing, he said. It ' s taught me our students write good software. There aren ' t any better in the world. The robot ' s video camera focuses on an object. The robot used the camera as an eye to detect colors, patterns, and shapes. It could use this visual to determine the location of an object.

Prieto, junior in pre-medicine and Spanish, said he believed part of his campus leadership role involved helping students feel like they belonged. I tell people if I can do it, they can do it, he said. Leadership is getting out of your comfort zone and making a difference in someone ' s life to give someone else a chance. One of Prieto ' s priorities as president of Hispanic American Leadership Organization was to let students know how to get involved during October ' s Hispanic Awareness Month. Although Prieto said it was a challenge to plan a month of events and speakers, he thought it was a success. Our main goal was to get more people involved, he said. It did well on campus, but we have more community activities planned for Cinco de Mayo. The 40 active members of HALO often provided him with the feeling of an extended family, Prieto said. We ' re like a family away from home, he said. It ' s a big university, but once you make friends and find your way around, it becomes home, too. Prieto was born in Chihuahua, Mexico, and moved to Garden City, Kan., at age 3. During high school, he was recognized for academic excellence, served as student body president and was chosen athlete of the year. Prieto was also fluent in Spanish and volunteered as a translator. I have a lot of pride in where I come from, he said. In everything I do, I hope I let people know you can be Hispanic and proud of it and accomplish your goals. One of Prieto ' s goals was to attend K-State. Pat Bosco, dean of student life, recruited him as a leadership scholar. We recruited Leo very aggressively, Bosco said. He is the type of student we target as an outstanding leader. As a multicultural ambassador coordinator through the Office of Admissions, Prieto recruited new students, which provided an opportunity to reach minority students. Students from different cultures, races or backgrounds need to know they can make it at K-State, Prieto said. The commitment to helping others achieve goals meant spending a summer working with youth in Garden City. I chose to work with youth, Prieto said. Every one of us has an obligation to change the world and a responsibility to make a difference. Prieto ' s promotion of cultural awareness, community involvement, athletics and academics earned him the award of Outstanding Intern of the Year at the U.S. HALO National Conference Oct. 8-12 in Chicago. We take for granted what we have, but we need to appreciate it and give back, he said. If we get people working together for a goal, we can get it done. We can accomplish anything. ha Leo Prieto, junior in pre- medicine, said, as president of Hispanic American Leadership Organization, he wanted to take on the challenge of involving more students in Hispanic Awareness Month in October. Prieto said the support of HALO members helped him accomplish his goals.

The walk had been a part of the week for al- most 10 years. Alpha Phi Alpha, King ' s fraternity, sponsored the event. (Photo by Jeff Cooper) by memorial walk and candlelight vigil honor martin luther king jr. he sound of footsteps crunching across the snow broke the silence as people gathered at the Marianna Kistler Beach Museum of Art Jan. 19 for a memorial walk to start Martin Luther King Jr. Observance Week. Alpha Phi Alpha fraternity, Martin Luther King Jr. ' s former fraternity, was host of the memorial walk, which preceded a sermon and candlelight vigil at All Faiths Chapel. Brandon Hobbs, junior in industrial engineering, said the walk helped participants unite while remembering the week ' s significance. We walked around merely to get together to show unity, Hobbs said. We participate in the week to show respect for the fallen, namely Martin Luther King, and spread his word. At All Faiths, Samuel Mann, executive director of St. Mark ' s church, told attendants civil rights continued to be an issue. Sherry Wright, Martin Luther King Jr. Task Force member, said she believed ideal race relations had not been reached. We ' ve gone backwards, she said. Something ' s wrong with that. An African-American man, with the same training, earns 56 percent of what a white American man earns in the same position. We aren ' t even close. After Mann spoke, a candle lighting ceremony took place. Attendants lit candles, held hands with neighbors and sat in silence as everyone bowed their heads. For Erika Cannon, freshman in civil engineering, the ceremony and the week created an awareness of King ' s life. It lets all African Americans and all races on campus know what he went through, she said. Being there keeps us strong. We get sidetracked by school and social lives. It brings us back feelings from deep inside. Stacey Yeager, senior in management, said celebrations similar to the walk helped build stronger ties between people from different backgrounds. It ' s good to see a lot of people out here, especially when it ' s cold, she said. I ' m glad this is a celebration every year because it ' s something we need to keep in mind every year so it continues to bridge the gap between all the different races. Dorinda Lambert, assistant director for University Counseling Services, said King had a lesson for all people. I think it ' s really important the campus has a chance to recognize it and do some things, and there are many activities going on, she said. I think his whole life was a testament to the equality of human beings and the importance of community to work together to be able to recognize, value and obtain the kind of righteousness we need to have in our society. alpha phi alpha.1 5 A After landing a UH-60 Black Hawk Feb. 6 in Memorial Stadium, Craig Neubecke r, graduate student in history, talks to students, friends and faculty about the helicopter. Neubecker began flying helicopters for the Army National Guard in August, one year after switching from active duty. (Photo by Clif Palmberg) Neubecker flies a K-State Flying Club airplane over campus. As a club member, he paid dues that gave him access to the planes. (Photo by Ivan Kozar) 52.craig neubecker craig neubeckeryears old he wanted to fly with the birds. At K-State-Salina he discovered he ' d rather hover with them. Neubecker, graduate student in history, began attending classes at K-State-Salina in fall 1991 while studying history at the main campus. When Salina students participated in an air show, he volunteered to fly co-pilot in a helicopter. I pretty much decided rightthere I wanted to fly helicopters more than airplanes, Neubecker said. It was more challenging do so many and you can (Continued on page 154) Craig neubecker.1 53 (Continued from page 153) you can get, he said. If I want to stop right here, I ' ll stop and hover like a humming bird, or I can fly backwards. You can do anything a bird can do, where with an airplane you are always going forward. So, when Neubecker went into active duty in 1993 after graduating from K-State and the Air Force ROTC program, flying was one of the first things on his mind. But budget cuts made flying opportunities for the Air Force slim. I wanted to fly worse than anything, so I went and talked to several different recruiters, Neubecker said, and the Army could get me to flight school the fastest. Once in the Army, he completed one year of flight training. In 1996, he switched from active duty to the National Guard so he could pursue graduate studies. Stationed out of Forbes Field in Topeka, he learned how to fly UH-60 Black Hawk helicopters in August. It ' s kind of like flying a computer game. You tell it to do something, and you ' re not actually moving it, but you ' re moving the computer, and the computer is saying, ' Flight controls do this, ' Neubecker said. It ' s a lot more complex of an aircraft as far as systems and capabilities, but as far as flying, it ' s a lot easier to fly. Steven Hood, 1988 alumnus, flew a Black Hawk to K-State with Neubecker in February and agreed flying was not the hard part, but said planning missions could be difficult. Pilots had to anticipate their course, altitudes, speeds and sometimes enemy attacks. You ' ve got to coordinate all of that, so the flying part is the easy part, Hood said. It ' s the systems management you have to do that is the hard part. If you get into an emergency situation, you ' ve got to deal with that. Neubecker said emergency situations were a possibility in any flying situation. His friend Cliff Sheets, a senior in psychology who studied at K-State-Salina and in the ROTC program with Neubecker, suffered injuries in a plane crash. But Sheets, who still enjoyed flying, said he wouldn ' t pass up the opportunity to fly with Neubecker. Craig is a very professional person, and he takes his flying seriously, Sheets said. Sometimes you have friends who you wouldn ' t necessarily want to get in a car with. I don ' t know if it ' s attitude or what. Craig ' s the kind of person who you can trust to be responsible and do it (Continued on page 156) Neu- becker finishes a preflight check before flying in February.

Neubecker lands a Black Hawk in Memorial While taking classes in history, Neu- becker worked up to 30 hours a week for the National Guard at Forbes Field in Topeka. (Photo by Clif Palm- berg) (Continued from page 154) right. As ambulance section leader, Neubecker ensured pilots were trained to handle medical evacuations, or medevacs. It ' s quite a feeling of satisfaction to know you are saving somebody ' s life when you fly out to a mission — a really bad car wreck where people are in- jured so bad that if they had to take them by ground ambulance they would die, Neubecker said. When you first want to be a military pilot, you want to fly gun ships and things like that and blow stuff up like you see on Top Gun, he said. Once you start doing other missions, you re- alize you get a lot more satisfaction out of saving peo- ples ' lives. In the spring, Neubecker planned to finish graduate classes and spend the summer writing his thesis about aviation in southeast Asia dur- ing the Dwight Eisenhower Looking at the history of warfare, everybody always tends to repeat the mistakes of the past, he said. Like Napoleon, he was doing really good until he decided to open a two-front war and attack Russia. Hitler turned around and did the same thing, so he obviously didn ' t learn anything from history. Neubecker said that knowledge would be helpful when he went back into full-time service. Although he didn ' t know if he would pursue a full-time career with the Army, Air Force or Coast Guard, he said he would proudly serve his country. When I was in ROTC here, I helped build the Vietnam Memorial, and I remember when we were doing that, there were people who would say bad things to us because they were anti-military, Neubecker said. It really made me mad at the time and frustrat- ed me. By the time I graduated, I realized the reason I was going into the military was to fight and defend freedom so people can say and do pretty much whatever they want to in the United States — even if I don ' t agree with it, he said. There are certain things I think are totally wrong, but I ' d still fight to the death and do whatever I could to defend that so they can live in the U.S. and say the things they want.

It ' s a good time to get students involved when they come back from the sum- mer. There ' s a lot of freshmen that are like, ' I want to be involved in some- thing. ' In order to gain organization sta- tus, Avila said groups of at least five people had to meet basic require- ments. After filling out a registration form, the group and their adviser pre- sented a mission statement or a group constitution to UAB. We ' ve had groups that have 15- page constitutions and come forward with that, Avila said. Then we have other groups that don ' t even have a mission statement. We have moti- vated, detailed groups coming for- ward to be registered, and then we have groups that need a lot of direc- tion. Richard Harris, swim club vice president and junior in biochemistry, said writing their 1-1 2-page constitution took time and thought. We had copies of different constitutions from other groups, and we were trying to put our own ideas and goals into ours, Harris said. It was overwhelming until we just dove into the work and started doing it. Before voting to register the group, the board reviewed the group ' s in- tentions to assure they met ethical, lawful and non-discriminatory From the time the group filed a request to the time they were voted in took about two weeks, but there were exceptions, Avila said. 1 60.swim club There are some groups that are so disorganized they don ' t include the adviser in the communication, and they slip through the cracks, and it takes longer than two weeks, he said. More than likely, 95 percent of the groups are registered during the two- week span. Although the swim club finished the registration process quickly, they still had time conflicts in contacting interested students and sharing the natatorium, Sexton said. It ' s been hard talking to every- one who wants to join and time-wise, it ' s been a killer, he said. The natatorium time is divided up between three groups: rec services, the department and the University For Man. None of the groups would budge (to allow pool time). After becoming established on campus, the group looked into recruiting new members through word of mouth, posters and advertisements in the Collegian. Then, they took steps toward intramural and collegiate competition, Sexton said. Some of the guys are really ex- cited about it, and they think we could get better and better and eventually become a varsity sport, he said. That ' s not necessarily my goal, but I do want to get better and better and be able to compete against teams like KU and Nebraska. Aside from competitive goals, Harris said they hoped to provide a new outlet for students. We ' re trying to get ideas on how to participate more with the university, Harris said. Different people like different sports, and this is one way to get people athletic and for them to get exercise and better health. Thiesen and Sexton break between laps.

The rodeo, which was the day before the 42nd annual K-State Rodeo, allowed children, to experience six rodeo events. Participants paired with team members who escorted them through the events. Pearl Shoffner, Chapman, Kan., said she thought the events and students ' assistance helped her grandson ' s attitude. I think it ' s wonderful that they take time to do things like this, she said. It makes him try harder because the students will help him. He ' s not frightened. Felt costumes were placed over square hay bales to depict bulls, as a wooden plank teetered to simulate a bucking bull. Cowboys ensured safety by holding onto the children during their ride until the bucking bell rang. With help, the children enjoyed a bareback horse ride, roped calf dummies and rode a horse around a barrel. Children simulated steer wrestling by riding a stick horse around a costumed hay bale, jumping off and wrapping their arms around the steer ' s neck. Angie Hards, senior in animal science and industry, said the children enjoyed the events. The boy I was helping loved riding the bucking bull. He was like, ' Oh, I ' m so dizzy, ' Hards said. I saw more than one kid go back to ride it several times. They had a blast getting to do all of the events. Coach Steve Frazier said they designed the event for children ages 14 and under, and encouraged participation through mailings to parents and through area schools. Ben Janssen, junior in agricultural technology management, said he appreciated the event. I think it ' s a great opportunity for the Kansas State Rodeo Club to give back to the community and help these kids experience something that they won ' t experience in everyday life, he said. It makes you realize how fortunate we are and that we take a lot for granted. Frazier said he supported the event because of the children and the smiles on their faces. Kids don ' t get an opport unity to do stuff like this, he said. They can have exposure to the events where they ' re the primary stars of the events. Everybody ' s a winner. Holley, 6 of Fort Riley, lassos a calf dummy with the assis- tance of Ben Janssen, junior in agricultural technical manage- ment, Feb. 26 in Weber Arena.

Their recruiting efforts helped the club ' s membership reach record numbers, BarrettJiranek, junior in veterinary medicine, said. Compared to previous years, our membership has gone up quite a bit, he aaron in-line hockey club said. We ' ve had a lot of younger players (Continued on page 166) In-line tradition (Continued from page 165) come out this year to replace the older guys like me who aren ' t going to be able to play much longer. And if we see someone rollerblading on we immediately ask them if they want to play. The In-Line Hockey Club met twice a week, every Tuesday and Thursday at the tennis courts between Goodnow and Marlatt halls, for 2-1 2 hour practices. They competed against teams from across the mid- west, Jiranek said. We play a lot of teams from ev- erywhere — all over Missouri, Nebraska, Kansas, and I think there was a team from Oklahoma that came up one time, he said. A lot of times we ' ll play in tourna- ments in Lawrence and Emporia. The competi- tors came from organizations like their own, Chad Williams, junior in arts and sciences, said. They were basically other school clubs, kind of the same thing we are, he said. We just call and set it up. It ' s nothing really organized. Opposing teams usually had bet- ter practice conditions, Dail Hong, junior in horticulture, said. Most of those places have facilities they can play in, he said. Lawrence, they have a big sports arena. They have a court and every- thing. We have nothing here. We have this, Hong said, pointing to the court. Despite the disadvantages, the club won a majority of their games, Jiranek said. Last semester we went 5-0, he said. This semester we ' ll probably do the same because those guys suck; 66.in-line hockey club the ball, Barrett Jiranek, junior in pr, medicine, a Wade Takeguchi, senior chemistry, play in the Hockey Club ' s January ball was used ace puck due to the ice area ' s rough surface.

Most of what everyone wears is kind of a combination knee-shin pad, and everyone wears hockey gloves, Williams said. That ' s really about it, at least as far as when we practice out there. When we go to games, we wear a lot more The amount members spent on equipment varied depend- ing on skill level, Hong said. It all de- pends, he said. The beginners, they usually spend around $50 to $100 on equipment, but once you become more advanced, you start buying better skates and better Jiranek ' s stick ended in a blunt stub when the blade snapped at the end of a prac- tice. Replacing equipment proved a chal- lenge since finding a store that sold hockey equipment was difficult, he said. I order mine from catalogs, Jiranek said. This place just doesn ' t have any sporting goods store whatsoever, except for the ones that only back up football equipment. While many in the community shared his interest in the sport, Williams said they continued to look for possible playing locations at Bramlage Coliseum, as well as other We ' ve had very little coopera- tion from the school and the city, as far as a place to play, he said. I don ' t think the people who are in charge of that type of thing realize how many people like hockey, are actually into it and would play if given the opportunity. Club members sometimes had to wait to purchase new equipment due to the high cost. It ' s a pretty expensive sport, Nate Scherman, sophomore in general engineering, said. (Photo by Jeff Cooper) The In-line Hockey club started years ago. Some members spend $200 a year on equipment. The club used kinds of balls in practices, for winter and summer weather.

Members volunteered at the Manhattan Emergency Center, Feb. 5 to fulfill one of their community service projects. This is our first year to do work at the shelter, Melissa Stein, president and junior in pre-medicine, said. We do projects with all kinds of different groups, and we hadn ' t helped the shelter before. The club celebrated International Circle-K Week by completing community service projects in the area. Fraternities, sororities and the Circle-K club all help out the guests at the shelter, Matt Lambert, night staff supervisor for the Manhattan Emergency Center, said. We give the volunteers a list of house duties, such as sweeping, mopping and doing dishes. Shelter guests usually participated in chores during the evenings of their stay, but volunteers took their place. The house is actually an old Victorian home, so it ' s not really big, Stein said. We helped out by scrubbing the house from top to bottom and by bringing up new food supplies from the basement. Lambert said past shelter guests returned as volunteers. I think volunteering is a good learning experience for everyone involved to realize guests in here aren ' t much unlike themselves, Lambert said. You don ' t have to be stereotypical — in rags and unshaven — to be homeless. To continue their work for International Circle-K Week, members collected money in the K-State Student Union. The money helped fund research for iodine deficiency disorder, the largest curable cause of mental retardation in the world. We try to do different projects because the members have different interests, Stein said. We ' re based on community service, but we like to focus on children. Members also volunteered for the Big Brothers, Big Sisters of America program and at the Wharton Manor nursing home, Stein said. We also tutor sixth graders once a week at the Ogden Friendship House, she said. I think we benefit just as much from them as they do from us. It ' s fun to get to know them one on one. They ' re at the stage where they start to like each other, so you get to hear all about it. circle-k.1 69 High School junior Tawnya Hanley cringes as she hears the answer to a Superquiz at the Academic Decathlon Jan 23 and 24.

(Photo by Jill Jarsulic) ore than 200 high school students exercised their minds at the Kansas Academic Decathlon Jan. 23 and 24. Nearly 100 students, faculty and alumni donated their time to serve as judges, proctors and graders for the event. Mortar Board members coordinated the competition. It is all based on volunteers, with 60 to 100 volunteers yearly, Carla Jones, Mortar Board adviser for the decathlon and associate dean of student life, said. Mortar Board has maintained its commitment to the event, and that takes a lot of dedication from each group of students. Committee chairs found volunteers to help. Kim Ebben, essay chair and senior in social work, secured 45 volunteers to be proctors at the essay competition. The proctors stay in the rooms and watch over the kids, she said. My committee and I found volunteers quite easily through the greek system and other ways, such as my church. Coordinating the decathlon was Mortar Board ' s main project during the year, and preparation began in spring 1997, said Patrick Carney, Mortar Board chair for the decathlon and senior in political science. I started work on the decathlon last March when I got the position, he said. I served as a go-between for Mortar Board here and the state board. Mortar Board members served for one year, so committee chairmen kept notebooks to give to the next year ' s chairs to keep things in order, Jones said. We work hard all year to handle details with the decathlon and make it a success, she said. Besides serving as the director here, I am the memory from one year to the next, since Mortar Board changes every year. Ebben spent more than 20 hours preparing for the event in which students participated in 10 academic competitions. The decathlon had three different levels of competition, so all students could participate. The best part of the entire weekend was the very end of the conference when kids received medals and seeing the excitement on their faces, she said. Some almost cry because they are so happy. It makes you remember it ' s all for the kids. 1 70.mortar board BLOCK BRIDLE JUNIORS SENIORS Front row: Aaron Dunn, Chad Breiner, Greg Bush, Dan Schmidt, Jarrod Lawrence, Jarred Juhl.

Sponsored by the Indian Student Association on Nov. 2, India Night included dinner at the Thomas J. Frith Community Center, a dance performance at Nichols Theater and a lecture demonstration by the dancers the next day. Mitch Mobley, senior in history, said he decided to attend after seeing signs on campus. It ' s something totally out of your own culture, Mobley said. It gives us the opportunity to see different things American society doesn ' t have. For the first year, dinner was catered by India Palace, an Indian restaurant in Overland Park, Kan., to reduce the work of ISA members, Indira Reddy, president and gradu ate student in grain science, said. Trying to feed 300 to 400 people is a big task, she said. It was an awful lot of work between a select set of people, and it almost costs the same to cater. We only saved labor costs by doing it ourselves. Dinner included rice, Indian curries, chicken and a vegetable salad. It was an opportunity to try new things, Mobley said. Manhattan is not a huge city with restaurants from around the world. It was interesting to try food with their spices because it differs greatly from what we get in America. Professional dancers performed for two hours after dinner at Nichols Theater. The ISA, international and area studies, and the departments of music and speech communication, theater and dance sponsored the dancers. They ' re having a United States tour, Joyce Yagerline, associate professor of dance, said. They were at KU, and they just traveled to K-State. I think it ' s a wonderful opportunity to bring multicultural diversity and performing arts to K-State. During the show, the group performed the Chhau dance, a dance Reddy said was new to Manhattan. I grew up and was born in India and had never seen the Chhau dance, she said. It never had been performed in Manhattan before. Not a lot of Indians had seen it before. Kids liked it because it was a masked dance. They added a true air of professionalism. The event gave students, community members and Indians a chance to experience the culture, Reddy said. I believe it is important to promote understanding, she said. We ' re hoping to expose more people. The main objective is to provide a place where Indians who left home can come, talk and have dinner with each other. It captures the atmosphere of home in Manhattan.

AIAA implemented radio-controlled models into the organization ' s activities as an outside group hobby. Since then, the hobby grew into the organization ' s focus. It ' s open to anybody on campus who has an interest in airplanes, blimps or any radio-controlled object,” Jeevan Padiyar, president and senior in chemical engineering, said. Whatever people are interested in, we are willing to go with. Danny White, secretary and senior in electrical engineering, tested that philosophy when he returned from a convention with an idea for the group to build their first blimp. He came to me with the idea, and I thought it would be great, Padiyar said. I had never thought about doing something like that. Building the blimp was a first for the group. You don ' t need any higher knowledge, and we ' re willing to help you learn, Padiyar said. We ' re all in this learning together. Building the blimp had its downside, Jeff Grant, vice president and senior in mechanical engineering, said. The worst part was we were still working on a plane, he said, so we had to make the decision to set it aside and work on the blimp instead. Managing their time between both projects was not the only difficulty AIAA ran into. We weren ' t sure who we were going to approach for funding, Padiyar said. Someone brought up the idea of going to SGA at one of our meetings. The group received $425 from SGA but budgeted $600 for the entire project, Padiyar said. The group had planned to design the blimp and create it from scratch, but when money and time became an issue, the group looked for a company to provide a kit. AIAA would try to implement the use of the 8-by-5 foot, silver blimp at campus sporting events, Padiyar said. We ' d like to be able to fly the blimp in Bramlage during basketball games, he said. Our first focus will be preparing it for Open House activities in Durland Hall. With a mini-camera attached to the blimp, AIAA members intended to use it to circulate inside Durland and project images of the school ' s open house activities on two television screens placed in different areas. Last Open House there were lines about three or four people deep who couldn ' t see the robot races, Paidyar said. We thought if we had something that would allow everyone to see the races, people would enjoy the activtiy more. We also wanted to be able to get exposure with our organization.

(Photo by Ivan Kozar) Students watch the band Bryson Robbins from the Union ' s first floor balcony as they perform for students passing through the Union at noon. UPC scheduled local bands to play from 12-1p.m. The band performed in the Union again March 5. (Photo by Ivan Kozar) ocal bands attracted audiences with two words that were music to students ' ears — free entertainment. Once a week throughout the spring semester, bands performed during the noon hour for passersby in the K- State Student Union Courtyard thanks to the Union Pr ogram Council. While there had been sporadic performances in previous semesters, this was the first attempt at arranging a constant schedule of events, Paul Donovan, UPC program adviser, said. UPC used to do it every now and then to give students a distraction when they walked into the Union, he said. Last semester, Bernard Pitts, the director of the Union, asked UPC to find a lot of entertainment to show in the noon hour. One of the things the Special Events committee has done is set up a regular weekly program. We get smaller, local bands, and we hire them to play for an hour on Thursdays. Other committees contributed to the Union entertainment as well, Donovan said. The Eclectic Entertainment committee has set up a talent search to do the same thing but on a more amateur level, he said. Any K-State student who wants to perform can do that, also. Amateur student performances were scheduled to begin in March, Doug Lacy, Eclectic Entertainment committee chair and senior in architectural engineering, said. With the talent search, the entrants win prizes instead of cash, he said. That ' s what separates them from the bands playing now, which are paid to do so. Playing in the Union was a chance to generate student interest in the bands, Andy Oyler, rhythm guitar player and lead vocalist for the band Last Call, said. It just seemed like a good way to get some publicity, Oyler, junior in history, said. We were trying to play around in Manhattan, and it ' s a helpful way to show people what type of music we play and whether they ' d be interested or not. It has seemed to have really helped us get kind of a following around Manhattan. Oyler said the Union was a good place to perform. It ' s very enjoyable, he said. People in the Union, if they stop and listen, seem to be very interested, unlike some other places where people could really care less. The performances helped Last Call remain employed, Oyler said. I wouldn ' t say we ' ve gotten any new jobs because of playing in the Union, but I ' d say we probably kept some because of that, he said. It helped us to bring more people to our gigs. union bands.1 77 Steve Pereira, second-year veterinary medicine student; Bryan Devore, junior in accounting; Skye Stanley, second-year veterinary medicine student; Ty Reynolds, senior in finance; Jami Nelson, senior in mass communication; Beth Saylor, junior in finance; Jennifer Hoyt, senior in finance; Ali Fatemi, professor of finance; Lyndsay Spire, senior in finance; Kelly Ackerman, junior in marketing; Lynda Spire, director of continuing education; Dan Allen, junior in accounting; Amy Robinson, junior in accounting; Christie Brunell, junior marketing; and Karen Burk, senior in finance; pose in front of the Thames River.

Spire was able to provide insight to over- seas travel due to extensive per- sonal experience studying abroad. That experience allowed her to better prepare the group for their seven-day trip. I had studied abroad in France for months, so I knew a lot of the things you need when you ' re traveling abroad — how to get your passport, how to pack light, what kind of converters to take, what kind of money to take and how to exchange money, she said. I called two meetings before hand and made a list of everything to take. It ' s not like hopping on a plane to Chicago for the weekend. There are a lot of things you have to do to have a comfortable international trip. Merely getting to London proved to be an adventure in itself. The group flew from KCI to Chicago where they boarded a flight to London. Our flight from Kansas City was an hour delayed, Christie Brunell, junior in marketing, said. We only had an hour and a half layover in Chicago, so that left us half an hour. We were literally running. Brunell had never flown before, making her a source of amusement on the flight. One of the highlights of the trip was getting to drag Christi on to the plane, Spire said. We all talked her through it. ' Now, that ' s just them turning on the and that ' s them closing the door ' I was like, ' Christi, they serve alcohol on there. You ' ll be fine.

The London-based company revealed another aspect of London history. They call it the ' Percolator ' or the ' Refinery, ' Spire said. I think you really felt how old London was be- cause you ' re in this building that ' s completely modern, even more modern than anything here, and then you ' re looking at this book of ship wrecks dating all the way back to the 1800s They are so rich in his- tory and tradi- tion. Next on the tour was GKN, a multi-conglomerate company that made auto parts, tractor parts and military equipment. The tour fulfilled one of the trip ' s objectives by giv- ing the group an idea of how in- ternational businesses operate, Dan Allen, junior in accounting, said. They are really diverse, he said. I thought that was the best visit we had. We were kind of a burden at a lot of places because they weren ' t mak- ing any money talking to us. GKN really went out of their way for us. After the tours, the group was able to relax and enjoy the night life. They discovered some of the products Americans considered luxuries were common place in Europe. A lot of really expensive import beers we have over here are domestic beers over there, Allen said. Budweiser is an expensive beer over there, about six or $7. Group members realized basic courtesies Americans expected when eating in a restaurant were not observed worldwide, Spire said. 1 8 2. london trip What they want to do is serve you bottled water so they ' ll do about anything they can to get you to buy it, she said. They don ' t serve you water when you sit down. You have to ask for it. Then they assume you want to pay for bottled water, which is really expensive. Students also began to crave the taste of Ameri- can food. Some went so far as to request iced tea. All the menus list tea, but it ' s all hot tea, Spire said. I was like, ' Just poor it on some ice. ' They didn ' t understand the concept. Others re- quested less healthy cuisine at the One night 1 just ordered a cheeseburger and a pop, kind of like an American oil change, Bryan Devore, junior in said. I just needed some good-ol ' American food. Surrounding themselves in a for- eign culture proved to be a valuable experience, Allen said. The best thing about being over there was being immersed in the he said. We got to see a lot of sites and had a lot of free time to go out and really experience the cul- ture. London was more than just bars and night clubs for Devore. I ' ve been in Manhattan for 21 years, so I ' m always looking for any trip opportunities, he said. I could tell this was going to be the trip of all trips. I ' ve never gone overseas and had to go through the whole deal of getting a passport, but I knew it would be a lot of fun.

Kerry Coppin, art professor, encouraged students in his Photography I class to form a club as an outlet for students interested in photography. Marla Sherrill, junior in art education, and Ryan Dougherty, junior in graphic design, helped lay the groundwork for the club ' s formation. The group applied to the Union Activities Board for university recognition and expected to be registered by early April. We really want to emphasize that anybody can get into it, Dougherty said. Anyone who is remotely interested in photography and has any kind of camera should join. You can get a little point-and-shoot camera and black and white film and shoot very inexpensively. The group provided students interested in developing their skills with an alternative to a photography class. That class is expensive, I ' ve probably spent $600, Jed Brown, junior in secondary art education, said. It ' s ridiculous if you just look at dollars per credit hour. I made an order the other day for $300 of supplies. A couple of people dropped out because of the expenses. In addition to saving money, the club worked better with some students ' schedules than the classes. Many students don ' t have time to take a photography class, Sherrill said. In the club, they can put in the time that they want. They don ' t have to do everything we do. If they are already into photography, they can make contacts with other people interested in photography. You can get out of it what you want to get out of it. Students interested in photography as a hobby could also find others who shared their interest. There are a lot of people I ' ve talked to who are interested in photography, Brown said. They have no idea that anything exists on campus for them. We are trying to get something established where if they are interested in photography at all they can join, and they can use the lab for their own pictures. The group also presented an opportunity for students to share knowledge with one another. We can all learn from each other, Sherrill said. The club will be based on the people who are in it. Different people come into the club — people who maybe know more about photography than we do. We want them to share their knowledge about photography. Aside from providing members with an avenue to share photographic knowledge, the club also helped photographers discover their own artistic tastes. I see it as something fun and a stress reliever, Sherrill said. Photography lets you think about capturing the world in a different way. Some of the photos I ' ve shot are just simple objects people see everyday of their lives. They don ' t think of them as being a beautiful picture. I just like capturing simple things and making them look beautiful. photography club.1 8 5 Jed Brown, junior in secondary education, and Marla Sherrill, junior in art education, pause while working in Hall ' s lab.

Some stu- dents also brought games they created in hopes of integrating them into circulation in the gaming community. (Photo by Clif Palmberg) A strategic mistake made by Manhattan resident Kate brings a laugh out of Jon Rolf, professor of extension community health. Many participants used the competition to disspell misconceptions about the games. (Photo by Clif Palmberg) roup and character names changed even when Elements of Fantasy members were not role playing. The speculative fiction and fantasy group came into being in the summer after a three-year stint as Secret Masters of Fandom. Members said the name switch would shed some light on the group ' s interest. When it was Secret Masters of Fandom, I refused to join. I showed up every now and then, but I refused to belong to anything called ' Secret Masters of Fandom, ' James Seymor, adviser, said. That ' s one reason we went to ' Elements of Fantasy. ' With the new name, we were hoping that more people would recognize us as a speculative fiction and speculative fantasy group. The name reflected the transition of members, Jim Wilkins, president and junior in information systems, said. We ' ve had a lot of people come and go, he said. People in SMOF graduated and moved on, so we ' ve had people take up the positions in Elements of Fantasy. Seymor said the group ' s interests and activities covered various subjects. Speculative fiction runs the whole gambit from science fiction to fantasy, he said. It also includes games — be they board games or card games — role playing and LARPs (live-action role playing). Due to the misconceptions about the group ' s activities and the drop in numbers, Wilkins said one of the group ' s goals was to recruit new members. We suffered a little with the change, but we ' re trying to get members all the time, he said. We held our first convention, KonzaCon, on Nov. 22, and it went pretty well. We ' re hoping it will be even bigger next year. The success of the fall tournament sparked the group ' s second large event of the year, the Spring Fest Game Fair. The Feb. 7 event featured card and board games along with game card trading and comic book sales. The tournament featured competition in Magic: The Gathering, Legend of the Rings and a mock battle game Warhammer 40K. Warhammer 40K is a pretty exciting game, Wilkins said. They have little lead miniatures on the table and move them around as military units. They use the rul es to fight little pitch battles between them. The fair also provided an opportunity for garners to demonstrate games they created and trade cards. I saw the signs in the public speaking area about the tournament, Mat Riggs, junior in physical chemistry, said. I came for trading Magic cards. They ' re kind of like baseball cards you play Uno with. Riggs said the event could help alleviate the public ' s misconceptions about garners. Everyone thinks we ' re practicing rituals or sacrifices, he said. I ' m just here to get some new cards. elements of fantasy. The new Annotated Statutes, written during the summer to help Student Governing Association quickly reference previous legislation, sits at the speakers table. Designed for easy modification, the volume was intended to be made available via the Internet. (Photo by Clif Palmberg) Student Governing Association had their weekly meeting in the State Student Union ' s Big 12 room. Student senators gave up Thursday evenings to meet as senate. (Photo by Clif Palmberg) sga reviews previous legislation yielding proficient student government tudent Governing Association senators took the initiative to reform procedures to provide a more efficient government for students. Basically, this year ' s focus has been on creating a student government that is more receptive of students ' needs, Jeff Dougan, student senate chair, said. We no longer have meetings that last for 10 hours. We are basically a more effective body than we were a year ago. Among the changes were collecting previous legislation and consolidating it into one volume, and clarifying the election policy. Patrick Carney, chairman of the governmental relation committee, spent more than 200 hours sorting the binding legislation and organizing in into one concise book. This will provide a working history of SGA, Carney said. We previously relied on senators ' memories, but with this, the body ' s institutional memory is greatly increased. Carney said students could look back at what their predecessors tried to do and learn from their successes and failures. It will allow us to be a much more consistent, stable body, he said. We are no longer rewriting bills, or writing bills that are contradictory to previous ones. Student senat or Carlton Getz introduced new legislation including penalties for campaign violations, a change in the way students voted and limitations on candidates ' display material. Campaign materials around residence halls were limited to specific areas. This is to reduce the clutter around campus, Getz said. This will help us put our best foot forward to visitors who are on campus during elections. Penalties for election violations were raised. Punishment included fines, but violators would be allowed their senate seat. This gives leniency to those who made an honest mistake, Getz said. Previously, when a candidate had any violation, they stood no chance of being sworn in. Students could also use their ID cards to register to vote in one of three locations — the K-State Student Union, Derby Dining Hall or Kramer Dining Center. With students using their student IDs, it will no longer take 15 student volunteers to man the polling areas, Getz said. We can now handle 1,700 students with the manpower of two volunteers. One thing missing from senate was the animosity, which had been displayed in previous years, Dougan said. As a group, we have really gotten along surprisingly well, Dougan said. The most noted change is the senators realizing the best way to get their point across is without sarcasm, but with respect and compromise. 88.student governing association HOSPITALITY MANAGEMENT SOCIETY Front row: Andrew Doyle, Kelly Katie Ochsner, Jason McKee, Kerry Powers, Devin Dickman, Sara Haukap.

Two members of K-State ' s Microbiology Club showed the organisms to students of Lee School and their parents Jan. 28 as part of a parent teacher sponsored open-house. Showing the children bacteria and microbes present on dollar bills and telephones, as well as their own skin, provided an interesting presentation, Aaron Carman, junior in microbiology, said. We talked about some of the current things going on in microbiology, the importance of vaccines and why their parents made them wash their hands, he said. We had petri dishes with samples of what you could find on table tops or fingertips. Adviser James Urban said he was contacted about the event and asked about how to present information in an interesting format. I said there were some students in the Micro club that were good, caring and personable, he said. I thought they could speak to the children and make a good impression, and apparently, it worked like a charm. The students did an excellent job. The presentation didn ' t take much time to arrange, David Stuever, president and senior in microbiology, said. It probably took an hour to get samples of everything, he said. We also had to let the cultures we made sit overnight. It was only a 10-minute demonstration, and we didn ' t have to do too much for it. However, the club was unsure when the presentation was needed and had only a week to plan and prepare, Carman said. We had to get ready on short notice, he said. We knew about it, but we didn ' t know exactly when it was going to be. The presentation appealed to both students and parents, Urban said. The interesting thing is the students geared their presentation for the young people and had so much interest from the parents they had a hard time having enough time to deal with the children, he said. But I think that sometimes happens. The Micro club members made a pitch they thought would appeal to the students, but the parents could also understand it. The presentation gave the children a fresh look at their surroundings, Stuever said. There were a lot of questions afterward. None of them wanted to touch a dollar bill again, he said. We sampled a phone receiver and none of them wanted to touch the phone again. We scared them a little, but we tried to make it clear the bacteria and everything wouldn ' t hurt them normally, Stuever said. It was an eye opener for a lot of them. microbiology club.1 9 1 shows students samples of bacteria found on items. includ ed a dollar bill and cash register.

More than 100 children attended the event sponsored by McCain ' s Children ' s Committee. (Photo by Jeff Cooper) giant frog swallowed more than 100 children before the Frog and Toad are Friends performance at McCain Auditorium. McCain ' s Children ' s Committee, with the help of McCain Ambassadors, were hosts of the 10th annual children ' s party Feb. 8. The party, which featured the doorway-sized, decorative frog ' s mouth that children entered came in conjunction with the Omaha Theater Company for Young People ' s performance of Frog and Toad are Friends. Karen Rogers, founder of McCain Children ' s Committee, said the committee strived to provide a learning experience for local youth. We research all of the projects so they reflect what is going on in the performance, Rogers said. Since we represent the university, as well as McCain, we want the party to reflect teaching. That is why we do the research. We want the party to be a learning opportunity. Once the children descended a staircase decorated with amphibian art work glowing in a black light, they arrived in the basement rooms where the party was. The youths participated in arts and crafts projects, games, and listened to Frog and Toad stories. Miranda Boettcher, McCain Ambassador and senior in marketing, said the party was not only fun but a motivator for the children. It ' s about gettin g them excited about art stuff and showing them it can be fun too, Boettcher said. Instead of them thinking a concert is boring, it gets them excited and shows them it can be a fun thing to be involved with the arts. Members of the K-State Veterinary School Exotic Animal Medical Club brought a green iguana, savannah monitor and bearded dragon to teach the children about exotic pets. A lot of them are really fascinated by the animals, Bill Dillon, vice president of McCain Ambassadors and senior in horticulture, said. They are learning about reptiles and iguanas they probably won ' t get to see in the classroom, and it ' s an opportunity to see something they may have never seen before. After the children made frog puppets and friendship bracelets and ate frog cookies, they watched the 3 p.m. performance. Kimberly Jones, McCain Ambassador and senior in elementary education, said the party was a positive event for both the ambassadors and the children. It is our purpose to help out McCain and promote anything they do, Jones said. The more children you can bring in and show them what neat things the theater can do in their lives, the more excited they will be about theater. mccain ambassadors.1 9 3 K-STATE CHOIR Front row: Sarah Kuhns, Jill Volland, Katrine Larson, Abby Morton, Mollie Gibbs, Meghan McGee, Elisa Harry, Heather Stegelman, Amanda Smith, Beth Watts, Cassie Hildebrand, Ginny Wason, Heather Garrison, Meaghen Ostrande r.

(Photo by Bran- don White) greeks raise house awarness of drunk driving and alcohol abuse with luminaries during october event promoting orty-six candles flickered in the wind representing the lives that ended due to drunk driving. Greeks Advocating the Mature Management of Alcohol gave each greek house 46 luminaries with sand and candles to place in front of their houses Oct. 22. The lights honored the people between the ages 18 and 25 killed in drunk-driving accidents the previous year. Kristopher Ryan, junior in finance, said displaying the luminaries was a positive event for the greek system. It looks good on the greek community that we are trying to curb future incidents, Ryan said. Maybe if we educated the greek system about alcohol and the use of rape drugs, then there wouldn ' t be as many problems, and it would be an overall improvement in the greek system. Jamie Wassberg, senior in elementary education, said the luminaries were meant to make students contemplate their actions. With the night ' s events, we hoped to increase awareness, she said. If one person goes out to the bars and says, ' I ' m not going to drink, ' they will have thought about the consumption of alcohol. But GAMMA was not meant to prevent drinking, Wassberg said. There is no way to stop it. We just hope to control it, she said. Maybe the greek system will look to us as a resource as to how to set up a designated-driver system and how to control underage drinking. Members of GAMMA understood drinking was part of college life for many students, and it was important for those students to understand the affects of drinking, Ryan said. One of the problems with drinking is you never know when you ' ve had too much to drink, he said. When that happens someone might do something like have a one- night stand. They could be a good guy or a good girl, and they could do something that would effect the rest of their life. April Spence, sophomore in chemistry, said because alcohol could impact peoples lives so drastically, GAMMA ' s purpose was important. At the beginning of the semester there were a lot of very publicized college deaths due to alcohol, Spence said. If something can possibly kill or hurt some of our students, we should do everything we can do to educate them.

Lance Ziesch, chapter president and senior in agricultural journalism, said the group needed an increase in member involvement to carry on the strong tradition. It was kind of scary, because most of our active members were upperclassmen, Ziesch said. We wanted to add and retain members instead of having ones that weren ' t very active. By building relationships and emphasizing interaction between members, he said the group began building. It ' s very important that ag journalism students get to know one another and feel confident about interacting with one another because a lot of people in ACT will probably stay in contact with each other over the years, Ziesch said. We want them to make these relationships now because, in some cases, they will carry over into the workplace. Brad Parker, national president and senior in agricultural journalism, said the group also looked to their younger members for leadership. It ' s a matter of encouraging the younger members, Parker said. It ' s really hard to just sit there and take notes at the meetings because, before too long, you ' ll be given some kind of responsibility, like serving on a committee. Jami Stump, sophomore in agricultural journalism, said encouragement from upperclassmen influenced her involvement in ACT. I thought maybe I needed to wait until I got a little older, but Lance talked to me and encouraged me to lead a committee, Stump said. I wanted to take on more in ACT because it ' s an organization that deals with ag journalism, and since that ' s my major, it ' s important to get involved. ACT brought in Eric Grant, agricultural journalist and freelance photographer, for a weekend workshop in the fall. He critiqed a slide show of photos students shot. We got some favorable feedback, Ziesch said. People thought they gained an insight into what ag magazines are looking for. In addition to other workshops, ACT members benefited from a mentor program that matched them with professionals in the agricultural journalism field. It ' s another way ACT helps us get our name out before we get into the workforce, Ziesch said. It ' s really great because sometimes they can even lead to jobs. After making improvements in the organization, Ziesch said he noticed a difference in the members. The interaction between ACT is stronger than when I came to KSU, Ziesch said. The new members in the club are pretty active, and our member numbers are more, but the main difference is the level at which the people are involved in the club.

Work harder. That was before Brown, instructor of speech and director of individual events for the Speech Unlimited team, wired speakers from the stereo in his Nichols Hall office to the squad room. He always said, ' Work harder. Work faster, ' when he walked by the door, said Ric Shafer, assistant coach and graduate student in speech communication. Now he can just press a button as if it ' s coming from God. Like most everything in his cluttered office, Brown said the stereo had a purpose. He used it to get ideas while listening to National Public Radio. The television and video cassette recorder gave him the opportunity to critique students ' speeches and occasionally watch part of the David Letterman Show. His office is truly his domain, Brian Lilley, sophomore in business administration, said. Often, for appointments, he has to clear a space on the floor to put a chair. I ' m sure he has some sort of organization system at work, but it ' s not apparent to me. A hockey stick left by a past graduate student and a toy megaphone were among the items that made up the dorm-room decor of Brown ' s office. Those toys provided entertainment at tournaments. He will bring a football to tournamen ts, and he will be quarterback, Lilley said. He will play all-time quarterback for huge games of football in the courtyards of many campuses across the midwest. He has an amazing arm. All I can say is don ' t let his appearance fool you. He ' s quite an athlete. In addition to being a star quarterback at tournaments, Brown said he was also known on the tournament circuit as C.A. Jesus. The C.A. stood for communication analysis, one of the events he said he had coached best during his 10 years at K-State. After coaching elsewhere for four years, Craig returned to K-State in 1988, four years after graduating. Since that time, he saw the team place in the top five at the national tournament every year but one. While one student referred to Brown as the Roy Williams of forensics, several of his 32 students referred to him as a second father. He always makes me laugh, Lilley said. He ' s very understanding, and I ' m able to talk to him about a lot of issues that don ' t deal directly with forensics. He ' s been like a surrogate father for me for the past semester. The time Brown spent with students made them closer, Lilley said. The team traveled most weekends from mid September to March, and he also devoted his evening hours during the season, staying as late as 2 a.m. I get to be here late, Brown said, but on the other hand, I probably have a lot better relationship with the students than most faculty on campus do just because of the unique way this job works out. craig brown 99 Director of individual events, Craig Brown sits in his Nichols Hall office. In the clutter, Brown kept speech ideas and momentos from past students. He came to K-State after coaching at Northwest State so he could work at his alma mater and teach more speech classes. He said university support made K-State a place where he wanted to coach and teach. (Photo by Clif Palmberg) Brian Ruff, senior in engineering, sits in the pilot ' s seat on a rai ny day.

The engine was a 610cc motorcycle engine with a fuel-injection system. (Photo by Jeff Cooper) Society of Automotive Engineers designed and built two new race cars for competition. For the first time, the 30-member SAE planned to compete in both mini-baja and formula competitions. The baja car was a small, dune buggy-like car scheduled to April 16-18 in El Paso, Texas, and June 5-7 in Milwaukee. The formula car, a low- slung, on-road racer, was scheduled to May 27-31 in Detroit. Rules stipulated in order to compete in baja, the car had to be at least 28 percent redesigned. In past years, SAE followed to (Continued on page 202) society of automotive engineers.201 Chad in mechanical engineering, and Lance Taylor, in mechanical engineering, add to the car. The suspension was with to minimize design errors. (Photo by Jeff Cooper) (Continued from page 201) the rule, but in the fall they had rea- sons to start from the ground up. We ' ve said we want to place in the top 10, Curtis Owen, senior in mechanical engineering, said. Out of about 60 to 70 cars, our best finish in the last couple years was 20th. Because SAE members decided to compete in both events, they decided to keep the formula design basic. We have engineered the whole car, not trying to be too elaborate in trying to make odd-ball stuff work, Chad Halepeska, senior in engineering, said. This is our first year, and we still have a lot to learn, so we ' re concentrating on finishing every event. Members used the computer program Pro-Engineer in the Manufacturing Learning Center for designs. You can get trapped into it when you ' re spending so much time just playing on the computer, and you ' re not actually building anything, Gary Latham, graduate student in society of automotive engineers ical engineering, said. The biggest thing it has helped is checking for clearances. For example, seeing if a driver would have room in the cockpit for his feet. Members said the formula car would be competitive in its first year. Goodyear Tires will supply the top, rookie car with tires, Halepeska said. That ' s what we are shooting for. Unless somebody comes up with something that is just phenomenal on their first-year car, I think we should be in the hunt. The competition included a in which team members their car to judges. They were also required to design a formula car that could be mass produced for less than $8,500. A lot of teams tried to reinvent the wheel, Halepeska said. Some of them were a little elaborate on their design. I know they were trying to be engineers, but the whole point is to build a race car the average person can afford.

There ' s no way it can be done without that extra funding, he said. The guns cost between $500 and $1,500, and college students don ' t have that kind of money usually. Members also had aspirations of expanding the sport at the university. It would be nice to become a club sport, Novak said. There are a lot of state and even private ones that have full- fledged teams. Eventually, it would be nice to have an intercollegiate Big 12 paintball team. It might be a while in the future, but you have to start somewhere. In the meantime, members would practice on weekends at their usual haunt — Krazy Kris ' Paintball Course. Backman said the club would generate interest in the sport as well (Continued from page 205) or games with 100 people. We have over a dozen members right now, but we expect it to go a lot higher than that. Novak said the group was still forming, but members hoped to in- crease awareness about the sport. We need to get the constitution written and get flyers out right now, he said. Later on, we ' ll have meetings to talk about what ' s going on and up and to think of ideas to promote the sport within the community. The club would also serve as a recruiting arena for tourna- ment players and a way to get corporate Tim Yeaglin, sophomore in management in- formation said.

We couldn ' t make up our minds what to be, Potillo said, We were already known as alternative, but we weren ' t popular alternative. When Potillo, fresh from five years as disc jockey Smooth B on DB-92, took over as manager, he said his first priority with the station was a more commercial sound. Over the next three months, Potillo cut back on daily exposure of local bands and replaced it with mainstream music to attract listeners. It wasn ' t a gradual thing, Potillo said, The consensus was, ' You ' re selling out. ' We will still play local bands if they have the sound we ' re looking for — bands that sound like they ' re going to be a hit. The idea, Potillo said, was to avoid becoming a niche within a niche station and keep up with what students and community wanted. Radio ' s an ever-changing beast, Potillo said, In entertainment, you have to act and not react. Music wasn ' t all that changed with Potillo ' s plans to mainstream DB-92. The talk show A Purple Affair almost didn ' t survive into the fall semester. Potillo said some faculty members wanted to eliminate talk shows. Critics saw the opinion-based shows as a clash with the newly-adopted, higher-tempo music format. Potillo said the shows needed change, not annihilation. The goal was to make the hosts take less of a radio personality role and assume more of a host mediator role toward guests on the show. A Purple Affair staffers Kelly Flynn, junior in mass communication, and Jeremy Claeys, sophomore in journalism and mass communications, said the changes made the show better. We were mad at first, Flynn said, but it turned out to be a blessing. Flynn described the original format as always two people firing off their opinions. The new format moved away from that, she said. Claeys said guests were also better qualified to discuss the day ' s topic than the co- hosts alone. We want to moderate instead of bearing the brunt of the discussion, Claeys said. We just want to get the information out on both sides of the issues. It adds credibility to the show. Potillo said with the local stations varying with format choices, DB-92 basically owned the urban and alternative format. I ' d like us to become more of a force to rival the commercial stations and continue to make them a little nervous, he said.

The group provided people asso- ciated with the university an inexpensive way to fly and encouraged aviation safety, Troy Brockway, graduate student in engineering, said. That ' s one of the things we like to pro- mote, Brockway said. We have one of the better equipped airplane fleets around. All the aircraft are 5 equipped with safety (Continued on page 212) Caroline Tetschner, Manhattan resident, sprays down the wheel of an airplane on one of the flying club ' s cleaning days. Approximately 20 members of the member club showed up to (Photo by Jeff flying club.21 1 (Continued from page 211) features. The safety emphasis included backup navigation equipment and meticulous maintenance, Brockway said. We have a minimum flight time to encourage our members to fly, Brockway said. It ' s tied to our 152- hourly charge. If you ' re a member of the and you didn ' t fly for one month, you ' d still get charg ed for an hour of flight time in the 152. That is one major thing that helps our safety more than anything. A pilot who flies regularly is a much safer For the club to be able to purchase new equipment, pay for maintenance and save for paid $20 each month in dues. That money came into use when the club needed to buy airplanes. The old Arrow was getting pret- ty used, Brockway said. It was be- coming quite high in maintenance costs, so we thought we ' d modernize our aircraft fleet. The club was structured like a cor- poration. The way the club works is when you become a member of the club, you become a part owner of the assets of the club, Brockway said. We sell a share of stock, that ' s $200, then we have a $55 processing fee. Whenever somebody leaves the club, we buy back all their outstanding shares. Members had different reasons for joining. Jim Faylor, alumnus, gained experience in his profession. I got into it for flight time, he said. I ' ve got my commercial, my instrument, my multi-engine, and I ' m 21 2 .flying club working on my flight instructor ' s license now. Some members used the airplanes as a mode of transportation. Mostly I use it to go back and forth between home, Glenn Haymen, freshman in agronomy, said. I live about 60 miles northeast of so it takes about 25 minutes to get home in the 172. I like the availability of the planes; one ' s always available. In the long run, the club provided an expensive op- tion for people who wanted to fly more than a few hours each month. It all depends on how much you use it, Brockway said. If you use the airplanes quite a bit, you can save several hundred dollars eac h month. Even though the job here doesn ' t pay as well as some I could have gotten, I came up here because the flying was a lot cheaper. Flight Club also offered and a sense of ownership. I always tell people this is the best club you can belong to, Rob Grindell, former Department of Enlish head, said. Everything ' s easy. The airplanes are taken care of. They ' re always available, very inex- pensive, and I can take them on long trips. I feel like I have five airplanes. As a mode of transportation, flying costs rarely competed with but it was more to members than a way to get from point A to point B. If you are going directly on cost, for the most part, you aren ' t ever going to beat driving, Brockway said. A lot of times, if you are strapped for time, and your flight would be more than a two-hour drive, then it ' s advantageous to fly. The main thing is it ' s a lot of fun.

South Park, a cartoon about the misadventures of four, foul-mouthed children and their abnormal midwest town, achieved popularity almost immediately after its first episode. But students were unable to watch the program in Manhattan until the Union Program Council made arrangements to show episodes in the Union. The idea came from me and from the president of UPC, Mike Hodgson, Melanie Tull, UPC special events chair and junior in journalism and mass communications, said. Both of us were watching it, and we came up with the idea kids would love to see this because we don ' t get it on TCI cable. There are bootleg copies of it floating around all the time from people who tape it at home, so we both decided it would be cool to show it in the Union. Tull said the turnout surprised her, and students even skipped classes to see the show. I kind of thought it would level off to a constant number after the second showing, but it ' s increased every single time, she said. I ' ve heard rumors of people asking their teachers, ' Can we please get out of class early so we can go watch South Park? ' Increased attendance, combined with Sbarro ' s opening, led to a change in location from Union Station. They thought we might compete too much with Sbarro ' s, she said. It was also a matter of breaking fire codes because of so many students going in there. The show moved to the Union Little Theater for the Feb. 3 viewing, where students filled the 222 seats, as well as the aisles and the outer lobby. The remaining episodes were shown in a larger location —Union ' s Main Ballroom. At every showing, students could win South Park merchandise and support the addition of Comedy Central to TCI ' s programming. Joel Steff es, sophomore in landscape arcitedure, won a hat in the Feb. 3 giveaway. They should add it because of how much we pay, he said. We get half the channels Wichita does, but we pay as much if not more. Comedy Central supplied tapes for the episodes in additon to the merchandise, Tull said. Rebecca Collett, senior in accounting, also won a hat at the Feb. 3 showing, and said she enjoyed Kenny ' s deaths. All the characters are really funny, she said. I guess my favorite part is when they kill off Kenny and say, ' Oh my God, you killed Kenny! You bastards! ' Tull said she hoped to do more with South Park. I ' d like to do a South Park night where I show four episodes in a row, or show all eight episodes one night like a South Park sleepover kind of thing, she said. We ' re hoping to go in different directions. southpark.21 5 Students gather in the K-State Student Union ' s Little Theater to watch the South Park episode, Cartman Gets an Anal Probe at noon Feb. 2.

The idea of the story is to understand different perspectives of Navaho thinking but also to understand from a different perspective, she said. I was using Navaho words interspersed. Wright had goals for the walk which included entertainment and increased participation. She said she hoped introducing storytellers would help reach those goals. I wanted people to have fun together, Wright said. I was looking for an increase in participation. People don ' t come to stand in line and walk, but they will come to learn. It was to enrich the lives of all of us in the community. It was part fun, part serious. At least 250 students and community members participated in the 45-minute walk that started at the Marianna Kistler Beach Museum of Art, went through City Park and ended back at the museum. The walk helped unite the Manhattan and K-State communities, Liz Carson, senior in management, said. The Harmony Walk meant everyone in Manhattan coming together, uniting and working for a cause in Manhattan, she said. It promoted racial harmony, so we could show everybody we were trying to make an impact. It ' s the key to understanding other people. Harmony Week had programs focusing on various issues, including achieving racial harmony, Barbara Baker, planning committee chair, said. The week featured forums and speakers on topics about minority students in residence halls, religion and grassroots elements of racial harmony. We have programs that are addressing how to better improve our communications and our interactions with each other, she said. We hope the awareness goes beyond this week. Racial harmony needs to happen every day. racial ethnic harmony week community, university relations strengthened through walk, stories SOCIETY OF AUTOMOTIVE ENGINEERS Front row: Brent Hartwich, Brian Ruff, Steve Schrag, Chad Halepska, Lance Taylor, Curtis Owen.

As part of Engineers Week, the contest was sponsored by the College of Engineering and the National Society of Professional Engineers. Seventy-one seventh and eighth graders from four junior high schools competed. We give the students 1-1 2 hours to design an with a sheet of poster board and some glue, Cory Cochran, sophomore in electrical engineering, said. We drop the eggs from the third-floor balcony. Designs had to protect the egg from an up to 34 mph collision with the floor. This year they could only use the one piece of poster board, the bottle of glue, and they had to make a hanging device out of paper clips so I could hold it to drop it, Cochran said. It had to land within a small area on the floor we taped off. Winners were selected from the eggs that did not break on impact, and the lightest egg-saving design won. Leg ' go My Egg ' os, a seventh-grade Wamego group, created a parachute-like device. We had two different ideas, Kristen Burns, a Wamego Middle School seventh grader, said. So, we combined them and made a parachute with a capsule. We put torn paper in the capsule to keep the egg from breaking. Jack Ryser, a seventh grade science teacher at Wamego Middle School, said students enjoyed the competition. This lets them get out of class, and it makes them think, he said. They get to come up with an idea and follow through with it. Rob Zienkewicz, senior in electrical engineering, said the contest was becoming more competitive. The same teachers bring kids every year, and they get them hyped, he said. They let the students work on designs ahead of time.

(Photo by Ivan Kozar) b russell fortmeyer elementary schoolstudents learn architecture with building blocks rchitecture students lowered the drawbridge and invited area elementary school students to the second annual LEGO party in Seaton Hall. As part of the outreach program sponsored by the American Institute of Architecture Students, third-grade students from Clifton-Clyde Elementary School swarmed Seaton ' s open review area from 10 to 11:30 a.m. Feb. 17, clamoring for space close to the pile of LEGOs dumped on the floor. The object: to construct a castle. For the first time, the event had a theme to make it educational and reach out to the community, Kimberly Murphy, fifth-year architecture student, said. We tried to make it more educational, she said. We wanted to make an outreach to grade school students. The idea is to reach out to the community. The theme running through this whole year is building community. Mick Charney, associate professor of architecture, spoke to the students for 15 minutes about castles and gave a slide show before they started building. We talked about details of castles, what they ' re used for and why they ' re built in certain places, he said. I concentrated on European castles and then moved to Japanese castles. I pointed out their similarities. During the lecture, Charney asked and answered questions. He said he was surprised students knew about a castle ' s architectural elements. It ' s nice to know that at that age they can deal with the topic, Charney said. They are so architecturally sophisticated; it ' s heavy stuff. They had learned and studied a lot in class before the function. Shane Hoesli, Clifton-Clyde student, said he would love to live in a castle someday. They look cool, he said, referring to Japanese castles. I knew about them because I saw them on the Internet at home. AIAS members also took LEGOs to Eugene Field Elementary School from 12 to 3 p.m. for the same function. They borrowed buckets of LEGOs from the AIAS chapter at the University of Nebraska-Lincoln, but organizers said they were working to get a set for themselves. The LEGO corporation in some areas donate LEGOs, and we know they ' ve donated to other schools, she said. We ' re hoping to approach them. Murphy said the event gave students a chance to learn more about architecture. I think something that happens in grade schools is learning about doctors or sometimes artists, but it ' s very rare they learn about architects, she said. Even though these students may not become architect s, they can have an appreciation for the role of the architect in the community. I think every kid has a little builder inside. american institute of architectural students.221 TAU BETA SIGMA BAND Front row: Kellie Symns, Miranda Marsh, Mandy McNett, Arian Baxa.

(Photo by Jeff Cooper) Jerry Smith, and Keith Lynch, associate professor of horticulture, forestry and recreation resources, discuss what branches to remove while building a trail at Tuttle Creek ' s Fancy Creek State Park. The fact that we can help out a very close neighbor of ours here by donating a little labor and helping them serve the public with this trail is what I think it one of the big pluses for this project, Lynch said. (Photo by Jeff Cooper) Beneath a canopy of trees, Park and Recreation Management Club members cut a trail through undergrowth and branches to rebuild a trail. Nearly 20 members began work at 9 a.m. March 7 to reconstruct and extend Tuttle Creek ' s Fancy Creek State Park trail, which was damaged during the 1993 flood. In ' 93 the flood, the water came up so high that it took out all the camp grounds that were down there, and it ruined a lot of these trails, Jesse Nippert, club president and senior in park resource management, said. Since then, Tuttle has been in a state of trying to restore the lake to what it was before the flood. The Saturday work session was the club ' s first successful attempt to restore the trail. Two times before, work days were rained out. This morning we didn ' t know how long we would be out here because of the weather, but we ' re hoping to get something done before we get rained out, Nippert said of the overcast sky and sprinkles. Even if it rains now, we ' ll feel happy that we got some stuff done. Members spread out along the 1 8-mile trail to re store it and make it longer, Matt Enoch, freshman in park resource management, said Part of it ' s an old trail that hasn ' t been used for several years, and part of it is just starting off brand new, said Enoch, who as a Kansas Parks and Wildlife employee also helped organize the event. We need to shape it up, put gravel down, trim trees, cut down some trees and just make it so it ' s walkable for people and a lot nicer. Without the club members ' work, the trail would continue to deteriorate , Dale Schwieger, park ranger and K-State graduate, said. It ' s been quite a few years since the trail ' s been used and utilized in a proper way since the park has declined since the flood, he said. But if it wasn ' t for groups like this, this area would probably get very little attention. We don ' t have the manpower to do this type of work, so we have to rely on organizations like this. While the project differed from past club projects, it applied to almost every member ' s studies, Keith Lynch, adviser and associate professor of horticulture, forestry and recreation resources, said. This is really ideal because all of these students in one way or another are going to be involved in parks, he said. It fits right down the line of what they are going to be involved in professionally in the future. park recreation managment club.223 park and recreation management members rebuild water-damaged trail entomology club members prepare unusual snacks for open house guests to dispell misconceptions about bugs When looking for a tasty treat, some Entomology Club members did not rule out eating grasshoppers or crickets. Members offered visitors bug snacks April 4 at the All-University Open House. Through the exhibit, members showed insects ' value as a source of protein, Robert Bowling, graduate student in entomology, said. It ' s just to present the fact they can be used for food, he said. If you get past the fact they ' re insects, they ' re not that bad. There ' s a stigma in the U.S. They ' re seen as kind of nasty. Insects added protein without changing the food ' s flavor, Bowling said. If you didn ' t know, you ' d never notice a difference in flavor, he said. It ' s interesting; in a lot of processed food, the government allows a certain amount of bug parts. If you ' re eating a hot dog, you ' re eating bugs. The following recipes were among those used at the open house: Chocolate Chirpie Chip Cookies • 2-1 4 cups flour • 1 teaspoon vanilla • 1 teaspoon baking soda • 2 eggs • 1 teaspoon salt • 1 12-ounce package of • 1 cup softened butter chocolate chips • 3 4 cup sugar • 1 cup chopped nuts • 3 4 cup brown sugar • 1 2 cup dry-roasted crickets Preheat oven to 375 degrees. In a small bowl, combine flour, baking soda and salt; ' set aside. In large bowl, combine butter, sugar, brown sugar and vanilla; beat until creamy. Beat in eggs. Gradually add flour mixture and insects; mix well. Stir in chocolate chips. Drop by rounded measuring teaspoonfuls onto ungreased cookie sheet. Bake for eight-10 minutes. Bug Blox • 2 large packages of gelatin • 2-1 2 cups boiling water Stir boiling water into gelatin and dissolve completely. Stir in dry-roasted leafhoppers. Pour mixture slowly into 13 by 9 inch pan. Chill at least three hours. Blox will be firm after one hour but may be difficult to remove from pan. To cut blox, dip bottom of pan in warm water 15 seconds to loosen gelatin. Cut shapes with cookie cutters all the way through gelatin. Lift with index finger or metal spatula. If blox sticks, dip pan again for a few seconds. Banana Worm Bread • 1 2 cup shortening • 1 teaspoon salt • 3 4 cup sugar • 1 2 cup chopped nuts • 2 mashed bananas • 2 eggs • 2 cups flour • 1 4 cup dry-roasted army • 1 teaspoon soda worms Mix together all ingredients.

The crew team dipped its oars into its first spring season at varsity status. The 59 rowers acquired experience for future seasons by against the nation ' s top-ranked teams. In his inaugural season at K-State, Coach Randy Cole restructured the cross country teams, drawing from 12 years of experience with a successful community college program. Two first-year runners led the pack with guidance from veteran Cats. Veteran football players combined key role in that success. Gramatica became the first K-State kicker t o hit three, 50-plus yard field goals in a single season. Junior Yana Dorodnova, first team all-Big 12 selection in singles and doubles, led the women ' s tennis team, which had a disappointing year after their first national tournament appearance in 1996. While the team faltered on the court, it boasted four academic all-Americans. Whether Wildcats achieved firsts as individuals, on a team or at a national level, the numbers added up to one word –— success.

Urick ' s efforts helped the athletic department maintain a stable budget in 1998. Monitoring the budget on a daily basis kept meeting revenue projections. (Photo by Clif Palmberg) by d. scott fritchen When it came down ' to it, everything involved in collegiate athletics funneled down to eight digits on a calculator — $14,759,392. That was the Athletic Department ' s projected operational budget for the 1998 fiscal year. While the football team was rated near the top of the Big 12 Conference and the nation also took notice of its volleyball and track teams, K-State ' s athletic financial budget continued to be anchored near the bottom of the conference. K-State competed on the football field with Texas, Texas A M, Nebraska and Colorado, schools that operated with athletic budgets between $20 million and $28 million. However, K-State — along with Oklahoma State, Iowa State and Baylor — hovered around $15 million. What ' s goofy is that our teams are competing at the highest level, but we ' re in the bottom fourth financially, Business Director Bob Cavello said. We ' re competing with the teams who rank top financially. I can ' t stress what a testament this is to our coaching staff and administration. Athletic Director Max Urick and Cavello dueled money — the toughest collegiate opponent of all — and continued to institute a sound financial plan that gave life to collegiate sports. It ' s hard to understand, Urick said. There ' s a lot of vitality involved in it because you ' re projecting income for the following year. The six-month process of figuring the financial budget encompassed all entities of the athletic program. Although the formal process spanned from February to June, the budget was scrutinized daily. When you compete at a Division I level and in the Big 12, it takes more money to remain competitive, Cavello said. When you have more needs than you have money, it ' s a challenge every day. Urick said he knew better than to base 1998 ' s financial budget solely on the previous year ' s figures. Such a flaw cost K-State ' s athletic department $800,000 in 1993 — a deficit Urick met when he began his tenure as athletic director. You could compare it to a crystal ball to predict how it (the budget) is going to be, Urick said. It ' s based on history, too. But, eve ry year is a different year. A 4-percent increase in the 1998 budget brought an added $588,000, which was consistent with past years ' increases. Urick said the increase continued to be necessary (Continued on page 230) the financial budget remains conservative, but k-state athletics continue to grow through proper management by its athletic department behind the numbers.229 (Continued from page 229) to maintain a stable financial budget. I ' m looking for that $588,000 just to do business like we did this year, he said. When scholarship costs, tuition fees and salaries increase, you wonder where the money is going to come from. The revenue stemmed from athletic entities and university and student support. Urick said utilizing those resources was necessary to avoid the elimination of sports programs, an action he said wouldn ' t be likely at K-State. A portion of the revenue was dedicated toward capital improvement projects. Urick and Cavello monitored prospective projects and instituted guidelines toward their completion. Urick pointed out of his Bramlage Coliseum office window at the R. V. Christian Track. We need to put a top on that high-jump pit out there. That will cost $44,000, Urick said. Hopefully, we ' ll have some revenue from excess football tickets and other revenue so we can do that in the spring. Although estimating the 1998 financial budget, or any year ' s budget for that matter, wasn ' t as shaky as predicting the weather, the weather was a factor used to predict football revenue. Urick said maintaining a strong conference alignment provided a pillow for anticipating and projecting revenue. As the Big 12 Conference entered its second year, schools pooled their efforts and negotiated television contracts and bowl opportunities for their football programs. The football team, which competed on television six times in 1997, earned $142,000 for each of their appearances on ABC Television and $74,000 for each appearance on Fox Television. K-State added a basic allocation of $1,050,000 plus $150 per mile for its appearance at the 1998 Fiesta Bowl, a tier one bowl. Termed the engine of collegiate athletics by Urick, football was projected to earn an estimated $8 million in 1998, more than 60 percent of the athletic budget. Men ' s basketball was projected to earn an estimated $2.5 million. Urick said football and men ' s basketball were the only sports that had significant revenue potential. These two sports deferred the cost of other non-revenue generating Olympic sports like tennis, golf, track, cross country and crew, which would spend a combined $2.5 million, according to the fiscal year 1998 budget. Sports Information Director Kent Brown said these sports ' expenses were justifiable in any ath letic program. There are a couple of sports that generate revenue and others that don ' t, he said. There aren ' t too many tickets sold for tennis and golf. Although K-State ' s financial budget remained low on the conference list, Cavello said he was optimistic. For us to be doing what we ' re doing, it ' s just really special, he said. We know we ' re at a disadvantage compared to our competitors, although we still kick them in the teeth. You appreciate it more when you work hard for something. That ' s what we have here. That ' s the real plus for our athletic department. 230.behind the numbers Eric Hickson runs through the Ohio line Sept. 13 at KSU Stadium. The football team was projected to earn $7,969,387, according to the fiscal year 1998 projected athletic financial budget. Athletic Director Max Urick referred to the football program as the engine to the athletic department, which provided the funding basis of all athletic activities. Football revenue helped the cost of other sports, which typically lost money.

Tennis was projected to receive $31,542 in revenue but spend $197,064, according to the fiscal year 1998 projected budget. Urick said not charging admission or maintaining a loyal fan base at events may have accounted for revenue loss.

In addition to on the tennis court, Dorodnova qualified for the all-Big 12 team. (Photo by Ivan Kozar) The K-State tennis team stumbled with a 7-13 record and a 2-9 record in the Big 12 Conference. The team finished 10th in the Big 12, and Coach Steve Bietau said it was a season of rebuilding. We were on the heels of what was one of the best seasons ever for the team, Bietau said, and to be hit with a lot of disappointments was not an easy thing for anyone in the program to accept. In 1996, K-State recorded a 12-9 record, took its first trip to the national tournament and advanced to the second round of the Central Region. The momentum did not carry through to the 1997 season, but even though the team went through difficult times, Bietau said it was not a detrimental experience. I would have to say the impact the experience had on our players was probably the best thing, Bietau said. They ' ve been to nationals. They ' ve had some success, and then they lost that. Dinah Watson, junior in kinesiology, said one reason was the team never raised its level of play. We didn ' t lose to anybody who we were not supposed to, Watson said, but we didn ' t beat anybody who was about the same level or better. Although the Wildcats had a down season, Bietau said junior Yana Dorodnova, first team all-Big 12 selection, impressed him. She ' s got a big serve, and she ' s got a powerful game, he said. Because of her ability to hit the ball and her size, it ' s difficult to get the ball around her. Dorodnova had a singles ' record of 10-10 overall and 3-8 in the Big 12. She compiled a 11-8 record overall and a 6-4 Big 12 record with her doubles partner, senior Elena Piliptchak. They received first team all-Big 12 honors. In Dorodnova ' s first round match of the Big 12 postseason tournament April 24 in Austin, Texas, she defeated Oklahoma ' s top player, 7-6, 3-6 and 7-6. Dorodnova was the lone K-State victor at the tournament. Oklahoma defeated five Wildcats, ending the Cats ' hopes of appearing in the NCAA tournament. Watson went from a 7-1 record in 1996, playing primarily in the No. 5 spot, to a 6-12 record in 1997, playing No. 4. Although Watson ' s record declined from the previous year, Bietau said she was the most consistent player he had coached. Bietau credited Watson ' s improvement to her hard work, intensity and love for the game. Dinah Watson, to me, is an inspirational player to watch because she fights so hard for every second she ' s on the court, he said. She puts her heart into it when she steps on the court, and that never waivers. Watson lost 6-2 and 6-1 in her final match of the season to No. 4 player. In to the team ' s on the court, most players fared well in the classroom. The team ' s 3.385 cumulative grade point average qualified for academic all-America status. Four players qualified for the academic all-Big 12 team.

The 1997 baseball season was the most uncertain of roller coasters for the Wildcats. It was full of high points, long climbs and fast descents. K-State finished its first 30-win season since 1991 with a 32-24 record in the first season of the Big 12 Conference. However, a 10-20 conference record and a ninth-place finish kept the Wildcats from going to Oklahoma City for the Big 12 tournament. For the first time since 1994, K-State failed to qualify for the conference tournament. Four new conference teams added to the quality of the former Big 8. Texas Tech, Texas A M, Baylor and Texas finished in the top seven of the conference. When K- State was host to Texas Tech in April, the Red Raiders were ranked No. 1 in the country. The team didn ' t win. We couldn ' t get things together, junior pitcher David Johnson said. We wanted to make it to Oklahoma City. All of these teams are good, but they aren ' t much better than the Big 8 teams. K-State finished the season with a .326 team batting average, second best in school history, and averaged 9.4 runs per game. The Cats hit 75 home runs to set a school record and had a 6.09 ERA. Junior shortstop Heath Schesser set a K-State single-season record with 97 hits, and his conference- leading 85 RBIs shattered the old mark of 65. He also led the team with a .409 batting average, 20 doubles, eight triples and 70 runs. Schesser and senior designated hitter Scott Poepard each hit 16 home runs, a university record. Johnson tallied 11 saves, nearly doubling the school record of six. That mark led the Big 12 and tied for fourth in the nation. I started off well. The whole team did, Johnson said. I blew a couple of saves late. It would have been nice to be first in the nation, but fourth is something to be proud of. Schesser was voted first team all-conference and third team All-America. Four other Wildcats — Poepard, Johnson, senior pitcher Eric Yanz and senior first Jason were to second team all-Big 12. Professional scouts also noticed the Cats. Five players were chosen in the June amateur draft, and a sixth signed as a free agent. The Cats came out strong with a 21-9 record and dominated non-conference opponents early in the season. By the season ' s end, the team accumulated a 22-4 record against non-conference foes. It always helps to start off well, said Yanz. We were able to get into a groove before conference play. K-State ' s 10-20 conference record was indicative of the quality of the Big 12. The co nference had five teams in the top 25 during the season.

You have to play your best everyday to win. K-State ' s descent began with an early 0-5 conference record, followed by an 11-game losing streak, with 10 of those coming against conference teams. We were close in a lot of ball games, Clark said. We put ourselves in the position to win. We knew we were better. During that stretch, the Wildcats played Oklahoma, Texas Tech, and Baylor — three top- 25 teams. We held up really well, Yanz said. Everyone stayed positive. The Big 12 schedule did not mean all losses for the Wildcats. The Wildcats went to Austin, Texas, March 21 to 23, for a series against Texas and won two of three games against the Longhorns, 11-6, 5-4 and 14-11. It ' s always uplifting to take two of three, Johnson said. But in their yard — putting it to them — that was great. Another successful series came during the intrastate grudge matches in early May. K-State went to Lawrence and dominated KU with a three-game sweep, winning 12-7, 24-11 and 7-6. K-State then beat Wichita State, 4-3. That win is something we can build on, Clark said. Although the Cats had finished the conference schedule, they needed two wins for Clark to have his 300th victory as K-State ' s manager. Oral Roberts University traveled t o Manhattan, May 9 to 11, for three games — the Cats ' final series of the season. After losing the series opener 15-14, K-State beat ORU 20-5 to set the stage for the season ' s final game. The Cats won 13-12, which kept Clark from waiting nine months to win number 300. The players were excited to be a part of Clark ' s 300th K-State win, Johnson said. It was good to be a part, he said. It could get no better. I know Coach Clark will remember that for a long time. Lase hits • Junior Heath Schesser was voted the Big 12 first team shortstop by conference coaches. Senior first baseman Jason Bickelmeyer, senior designated hitter Scott Poepard, senior pitcher Yanz and junior reliever David Johnson were all selected for the second team. • Coach Mike Clark became the all-time winningest coach in K-State history with a 300-306 overall record. Clark was the only coach in K-State history to earn four- consecutive 30-win seasons. Poepard earned Big 12 Player of the Week honors twice during the 1997 season. Johnson became the all-time saves leader at K-State after his fourth save of the season in game two against Force. Johnson ' s 11 saves during the year also set a school record. Poepard tied the school all-time home run mark with 30 home runs during the 1997 season. baseball. 237 Chris Cox, junior in animal sciences and industry, prepares to toss the ball back into play during a Nov. 18 game at the Natatorium.

However, first-time co-rec inner tube water polo players discovered the sport was just as challenging as typical intramural competition. I ' ll tell you what, it takes a lot of upper-body strength, Mark Harwood, senior in pre-dentistry, said. I can ' t believe it. I didn ' t think it would be that tough. I swam in high school, and it ' s almost like swimming a mile. For Harwood, a first-time player and chairman at Pi Kappa Phi fraternity, water polo became an addiction. Harwood was a member of Wet Dream Team, compiled of Pi Kaps and female friends. He said he received an abundance of support when he shared the idea of playing water polo with his chapter. Wet Dream Team was one of 13 teams that competed in the double-elimination intramural tournament. With its 15-2 loss to Morehouse State on Nov. 18, Wet Dream team finished their brief season 2-2. We got spanked, Drew Green, Wet Dream Team player and senior in pre-medicine, said. I don ' t know what we could have done different. We don ' t know how to play anyway. No one really expects to do good. It ' s just a bunch of people wanting to hang out and have fun. Although water polo differed from expectations, the water sport ' s strategies resembled those of basketball, soccer and hockey. For 20 minutes, two teams ' composed of three males and three females, raced around a 25-feet long pool with depths ranging from four to six feet. While trying to maintain their balance in the large inner tube, players fought over a volleyball- sized, yellow ball. Teammates passed the ball across the pool and tried to position themselves to score in their opponents ' pool-side goal, which resembled a soccer goal. The man-to-man defense played in basketball was a tactic for waterpolo players. Instead of with bodies, players splashed opponents when they tried to pass the ball and maneuvered to knock ball handlers off their inner tubes. You can ' t go up to someone and throw them on the basketball court, Harwood said. You ' ll be kicked out of the rec for a month. Veteran player Will Kennedy, senior in construction science, laughed at critics who viewed water polo as a lesser sport. I think people chuckle about it, but if they get out and play, it ' s a lot of fun, he said. It ' s like most intramural sports. There are people who haven ' t heard about it, but people don ' t know how fun it can Kennedy, who also officiated, played on Big Toobs, a team composed of recreational services supervisors. For teammate Jerome Stokes, graduate student in human knowing how to play inner tube water polo was not as difficult as remembering the name of his team. What ' s the name of our team? he asked Kennedy. Oh, the Big Toobs, Stokes said. We ' re the Big Toobs this year. Stokes laughed in After for Penatraters and Major in past years, Stokes switched to Big Toobs when the team needed a few players. What helps is that, as officials, we know the rules, and we know what we can get away with and what we can ' t, Stokes said. This is our all-rec supervisor team. We ' re not all that athletic, but we know the rules. Before facing the Theta Sigs Nov. 18, Jerome Stokes, graduate student in human resources and member of the Big Toobs, ties on his swimming cap. Theta Sigs won, 9-4, and Big Toobs ' record dropped to 1-1 in the double-elimination tournament.

The 80-minute, full-contact sport resembled but was 10 times tougher without the pads, Natasha Bleshe, junior in civil engineering, said. Rugby is a sport where you have to use everything. You have to be able to run a lot, have good eye-hand coordination and stamina, she said. It ' s a demanding sport physically and mentally. If you are able to play rugby, you are a pretty good athlete. The Wildcats ' actions in practice were smooth and accurate in contrast to their 3-4 fall season finish. We had lots of new people, and it takes a while to get on track, Anne Bayer, senior in animal science, said. Rugby is the kind of sport you have to play before you can learn all of the rules and what you are doing. The women gained experience by playing teams like No. 2 Air Force, who defeated the Cats at the Heart of America tournament in Kansas City. When we go into games and play teams like Air Force, we know they are just an incredible team. It us practice, Michelle Lowe, sophomore in arts and sciences, said. We don ' t concentrate so much on winning as improving ourselves in a field. It ' s more like we can come out of the game and say, ' I improved this thing. ' That helps us improve in the future. Tony Buckner, assistant coach and sophomore in agricultural economics, said he was impressed by the team ' s aggressiveness. They compete just as hard as any men ' s team does, Buckner said. There are a lot of people out there who don ' t believe in women ' s sports. I think you run across that in any sport. Even though men are bigger, it doesn ' t mean women don ' t play just as when they play. Pusued by opponents, Ruth Welters, sophomore in sociology, and teammates try to gain ground in an Oct. 25 game against Pittsburg State University. Welters said injuries like concussions were common. (Photo by Jeff Copper) The season ' s progress resulted in a strong against the Kansas City Jazz in the season finale. Lowe said she considered the Cats comeback against Kansas ' best team the biggest accomplishment of the season. The way we came back and almost beat them, it was just incredible for us, Lowe said. In the first half they scored three tries on us, and then in the second half they only scored one. It was like everything clicked, and they couldn ' t get past us. The game also gave players hope for an even better spring season. It helped us boost our confidence because everything worked and came together. We realized how good we could be, Belshe said. It really gives us confidence going into the next season we now know what we are capable of. The women practiced Monday through Thursday at Memorial Stadium to keep the confidence they gained during the fall season. Belshe said they would be better prepared for future games than they were in past seasons. It has helped that a lot of people have returned because they can help the younger girls, Belshe said. When our first game comes we are going to be extremely prepared and ready. Welters rushes up field attempting to score a try. A try, worth five points, was a form of scoring comparable to a touchdown. After a team scored a try, they could attempt a conversion kick, which would add two points to their score.

Stewart placed third in the 72nd annual Kansas Relays in the Lawrence competition. (Photo by Peter Aiken) If it had been a math equation, it would not have added up. A larger conference should have made it more difficult to place in the conference meet, but for Coach Cliff Rovelto ' s track and field teams, that was not the case. The larger conference brought out the best of both the men ' s and women ' s teams, with each placing third at the Big 12 Conference May 16-18 in Waco, Texas. We ' ve always had a better team at the national level than we have at the conference level, even though we strive to be a good conference team, Rovelto said. That ' s because we ' ve always had our share, or more than our share, of national caliber athletes. Traditionally, teams qualified fewer athletes for the national meet, so scoring was more equally divided between schools at the NCAA Championships. Before the Big 12, depth was the key, and Nebraska dominated conference meets in both the men ' s and women ' s categories. Gene Petersen, junior discus thrower, who placed first at the conference championships, said the additional schools helped even out scoring at the Big 12 level. I think it helped having the Texas schools there, Petersen said, because it helped to break up Nebraska ' s scoring. With more competition, the door was left open for the Wildcats to score enough points to work their way to the top three. Rovelto said he expected the men to place sixth, but when they turned up in the third slot behind Nebraska and Texas, he was more than a little surprised. On the women ' s side, everyone did what was expected, Rovelto said, but on the men ' s side, without question, we gained in more places than we lost. Certainly we had people get more points than we thought they would. The men ' s team was led by Petersen, who also placed second in hammer; senior Keith Black, second in 400-meter dash; and the men ' s mile relay team, which placed third. The women ' s team placed third behind Nebraska and Texas. The women were led by senior Staci Lowe, first in javelin; senior Kirsten Schultz, second in javelin; sophomore Renetta Seiler, first in hammer and third in discus; junior Wanita Dykstra, first in high jump; and senior Vanitta Kinard, first in triple jump. I knew it would be competitive because the Texas schools are always strong, Kinard said. So I knew we would have a lot to contend with in the conference meet. After the conference meet, seven athletes in the NCAA Championship in Bloomington, Indiana. Kinard, Dykstra, Black, Schultz and Seiler the meet along with seniors Travis Livingston and Belinda Hope. Both Kinard and Seiler earned all- America honors. The team then traveled to June 11-15 for the U.S. Outdoor Again, Seiler, Kinard, Livingston, Black, Schultz and Ed Broxterman competed, along with coaches Nicole Green, Steve Fritz and Gwen Wentland. Fritz won the decathlon title, qualifying for the World Championships in Athens, Greece, and Seiler and Kinard qualified for the World University Games in Sicily, Italy. Rovelto said the athletes ' abilities to perform in the high-pressure conference and national meets impressed him. The big thing is not only did we have a better year, he said, but we were able to do it in a more competitive situation. outdoor track.243 Increased competition equals higher team ranking in Big 12 Conference, brings out best of both teams • Men ' s and women ' s track teams combined for 16 academic all-Big 12 selections and two academic all-district selections. • Thirty-three outdoor track members placed in the top eight in their respective events at the Big 12 Championships. • Men ' s and women ' s track teams combined for 11 individual NCAA All- Americans in the indoor and outdoor track competition. • Freshman decathlete Attila Zsivoczky placed fourth at the European 23 and Under Championships in the decathlon. She scored an overall 7,804 points, giving her the best score of any collegiate freshman in 1997. Scoring below Before the Illinois State meet, the best any of these kids had experienced as a team in one round was a 295, Norris said. I was a little disappointed we didn ' t take advantage of our position going into the last round, but I was very pleased with how we progressed and steadily improved. The fall ' s final competition took the Wildcats to Calhoun, La., host of the Louisiana Tech tournament Oct. 20 and 21. Benninga, who failed to qualify in Colorado five weeks earlier, rode a second-round 71 to an overall 224, landing him in eighth place. With a final round of 73, Walter inched past Benninga into place with 223. Strong by senior Matt Murdoch, 227 at 12th place, and redshirt junior Zac Clark, 228 at 15th place, vaulted K-State into third for the tournament. We didn ' t get what we wanted to get, which was a win, but playing with the final group on the last day is a pretty big deal, Walter said. I ' m in my fourth year, and these two tournaments were the first time we ' d ever done it. Benninga cited the team ' s sustained improvement — not any single moment — as the season ' s main highlight. We had some good individual performances this seas on, but I wouldn ' t single out any of them as the highlight, Benninga said. Our highlight was really our last three tournaments. We hit a groove and improved in just about every way. It was a good way to end the season and a good place to leave off for the spring. K-State men ' s golf coach Tim Norris watches senior B.J.

Team chemistry comes together with new coach, team sustains improvement Wildcat golfers surged through the fall season, they reached their deepest valley in the mountains of Colorado. The Eisenhower Golf Course, site of the Falcon- Cross Creek tournament in Colorado Springs, tormented golfers with its sharp breaks and rocky surroundings. Despite the perfect weather and soft fairways, K-State shot a three-round 923, into 20th place in the 24-team field. First-year coach Tim Norris retained the he kept through his college days at Fresno State and an eight-year stint on the PGA tour. My standpoint comi ng in was this had to be the first year of K-State golf, Norris said. Golf is made for pessimists, so as a coach, you have to focus on staying positive. Team chemistry, which was questionable at season ' s start, quickly became a boon for Norris and his players. Once we got used to coach and learned what he expected of us, things really came together, Brant Benninga, redshirt junior, said. After the tournament in Colorado, we just hit a groove. Led by redshirt sophomore Brian Racette, the Wildcats broke into the top half of the field at the Kansas Invitational Sept. 22 and 23. Racette ' s first- round 68 at Alvamar Golf Course in Lawrence into a team-best ninth place finish. While K-State ' s composite score of 901 was only good enough for an eighth place among 17 teams, it was a leap forward. The score itself wasn ' t anything major, but it gave us confidence going into the last two tournaments, senior B.J. Walter said. The overall made our playing more meaningful and made golf more important. K-State rode the wave into the D.A. Weibring tournament at Illinois State Sept. 28 and 29, where the Wildcats found themselves in third place final round of play. However, with winds nearly 65 mph, they slipped to sixth place in the final day. The second-round 289 was the best round a K- State team had shot during the current players ' careers, Norris said. 244.men ' s golf men ' s golf.245 At the Big 12 Spring Championship, junior golfer Mitzi Taylor hits her ball out of the rough.

I put that up on the wall hoping I could take it down at the end of this year, Knight said. We ' ll see if I get to do that. Initially, it appeared the team would have a blistering start to the fall season. Junior Jane Yi came out scoring 68 in the first round of the Chip-N-Club Invitational Sept. 8 and 9 in Lincoln, Neb., the first tournament of the year. Then the team and Yi were stung in the arm literally. Yi was stung by a bee, and during the next two days of the tournament, her arm swelled to twice its normal size. Yi followed her 68 with rounds of 77 and 88. But Knight didn ' t search for excuses. You can ' t blame shooting 88 on the bee sting, Knight said. Sixty-eight was Jane ' s best round. I think leading the tournament is tough to do mentally because you are always comparing yourself to where you were the day before. Even with the initial sting, the team rallied and finished third of nine. We ' ve made great strides this year, senior Ann Slater said. We ' ve improved our stroke by 10 strokes and have played high and played pretty strong. Everyone has played well this year. It ' s been stable and consistent. The team ' s performance remained stable in all tournaments but one. At the Big 12 Preview Oct. 6 and 7 in Columbia, Mo., traditionally the most important tournament of the fall, the women finished 11th out of 12 teams. Our biggest disappointment came at the Big 12 premiere, freshman Edie Murdoch said. That was a set-back to our team. Th at was our worst effort, and we probably deserved our finish there. The tournament was the team ' s first chance to make an impression in the rankings. That was the only tournament we embarrassed ourselves in, Knight said. The girls told me, ' Let ' s get the bad one out of the way and get ready for the spring. ' The opposite happened one year before, when they finished fourth at the Big 12 Preview and left the tournament boasting a No. 29 national ranking. Spring 1997 was when things began to fall apart. Based on the way we played last semester (spring 1997), our short game really needs improvement, Murdoch said. That ' s the major area we need to work on. In spring 1997, the women 10th in the Big 12 Their finish dropped the to a No. 49 final national ranking. To be invited to the elite tournaments, Knight said they needed to improve their ranking, which meant improving the short game. That goes across the board for every player on our team, Knight said. If we are going to compete with the elite teams, we are going to have to improve in that area.

Coach Randy Cole, who previously coached at Barton County Community College for 12 years, took over the team in August and started a process resembling his successful college program. He has reorganized the whole distance Zach Davies, senior runner, said. There ' s a lot more organization than in the past. Now our people are doing the same thing instead of being scattered around. With an inexperienced group of men and women runners, Cole said he started with the basics in building the program. It ' s been a teaching experience, he said. You can ' t take anything for granted with this young group because they are very inexperienced, so we started at square one. The women ' s team was relatively inexperienced with three freshmen and two sophomores, but it was not short on talent. Freshman Annie Wetterhus never wavered as the top runner for the Wildcats. Annie was our leader all year. She ' s the type of student athlete you ' re looking for in a Division I program, Cole said. She had a very solid freshman season. The high point of Wetterhus ' season was her third-place finish in the 13-team Iowa State Oct. 18. She ran the five-kilometer course in 18 minutes, 15 seconds. The pace wasn ' t real fast, she said. I had to hold myself back because I didn ' t want to be the dumb freshman who went out in front of the pack early. In the middle of the race, two runners from the University of Minnesota worked together to pass Wetterhus and create a gap between them. Her homestretch kick was almost enough to pu ll off the comeback, but she lost by one second. Freshman Brandon Jessop was the highest for the men ' s team in all but the first race of the season. Jessop ' s best race of the season also came in the Iowa State Invitational. He ran the five-mile race in 26:25 and finished in 11th place. Before the race, I told coach I was going to run with the lead pack, Jessop said. I was with the lead pack in sixth place for the first three miles of the race. Veteran wore him down, and outran him to the tape. Because of their consistent work habits and sheer talent, Cole foresaw Wetterhus and Jessop as being the foundations on which to build the program. It ' s not really a shock that they ' re doing so well as freshmen because they both had great high school careers, Cole said. We ' re going to be competitive in the Big 12 in the next couple of years with those two as the nucleus. While Wetterhus and Jessop led the two teams on the course, junior Emily Diederich and Davies provided inspirational leadership, Cole said.

She ' ll give it every thing she has every time she steps on the line. Her determination and positive encouragement made her a leader. Diederich, who competed in middle-distance races for the track team, ran consistently in the No. 2, 3 and 4 positions on the team. Her best finish was in the Iowa State Invitational, where she took 12th place in 18:56. Emily is a good team leader, Wetterhus said. The fact that she is an 800 runner but she competes in the 5K makes us really respect her. Davies was the men ' s No. 2 runner and had his best finish, 27:08, in the eight kilometer at the Jayhawk Invitational Sept. 13, earning 18th place. Davies said he understood the team was the collegiate level, which was why he needed to guide younger teammates. This is basically a developing year for them, Davies said, but together we ' ve taken our bumps and bruises. Jessop said he respected Davies because he put in his time at the bottom of the pack, but he worked his way to the top. He was one of our leaders no matter which way you look at it, Jessop said.

(Photo by Jeff Cooper) In less than one year since the program reached varsity status, the crew team went from not knowing how to unload a boat trailer or how to sit in a boat, to competing against the country ' s top teams. Students entered the crew program without a role model, without anyone to watch and without any veterans to motivate them, except for their coach and each other. It ' s not just a rebuilding year after you a bunch of seniors, Coach Jenny Hale said. We came in with a clean slate. One season after gaining varsity status, the team won its first meet. The Wildcats won their first NCAA-dual meet against Creighton on March 16, 1997, capturing four of five races from the Blue Jays. Since every rower on the team was a novice in the spring season, it was tougher for the crew to compete at the varsity level, Hale said. The Wildcats in seven regattas and raced in all but two varsity races. The last two races of the year we just raced as novices because it wouldn ' t be very fair to them to make them sit on the line as varsity when they really weren ' t a varsity, Hale said, but they had good tests all season against varsities that aren ' t terribly fast on a national level. The Wildcats took their spring experience into the fall season when they competed Oct. 12 at the Head of the Charles in Boston. Regarded as one of the biggest fall regattas in the world, Head of the Charles was the highlight of the fall season. It featured high profile club and international teams and the U.S. National Team. Without a doubt, it ' s the best field of you ' re going to be able to go up against in the fall racing season, Hale said. It ' s a very prestigious event. Despite the youthful program and tough the Wildcats finished 31 out of 50 boats. Heather Megnia, sophomore in pre-nursing, said the race was a learning experience for the team. It was really awesome to go out there and see all those huge teams and watch them and be able to race great to beat KU, especially on our own turf and before the K-State KU football game. The race also gave the novice team members their first chance to show their skills in They lost all four races but gained experience for spring competition. They ' re the base of the team, Hale said. The novice team is essentially the feeder team for the varsity program. Hale said the team ' s progress in its inaugural season encouraged her. Now they ' re really functioning. They ' re very confident. Their work ethic is very high, and they don ' t get discouraged easily, Hale said. I ' m really proud of them. I really think we have in a very short amount of time made some clear statements about the kind of program this is going to become. crew.253 against them, Megnia said. We got to see how the U.S. team rowed and carried themselves and pictured how we could do that. It was a really good example to follow. The Wildcats carried their early-season into the final fall competition Nov. 8, the first ever KU vs. K-State dual regatta. It was an event both schools hoped to make a fall tradition. The regatta was at Tuttle Creek Reservoir, and the varsity team did not disappoint the hometown fans. The Wildcats won all three races against the Jayhawks. It was great, Amanda Kiefer, junior in political science, said.

(Photo by Clif Palmberg) It took Coach Bill Snyder nine years to return to Tempe, Ariz., and the purple-hazed horizon that peeked through the Twin Buttes and engulfed Sun Devil Stadium — the birthplace of his Division I coaching legacy. Snyder ' s 31-0 drubbing by Arizona State that steamy September day in 1989 didn ' t raise as much as an eyebrow across the nation since the Wildcats were a team that finished a combined 0-22-1 in the previous two seasons. It was only fitting for K-State ' s 33rd football coach to return 104 games later, bearing a National Coach of the Year award under each arm like stone tablets. Snyder poetically revisited the ancient burial ground Dec. 31 to lay claim that No. 7 K-State had nearly completed its march to greatness. You build a program literally from absolutely nothing 10 years ago — from the bottom of the lowest part of the basement — to a bowl team every year for the past five years in a row, John Junker, executive director of the Fiesta Bowl, said. That ' s a story we want to be a part of. Moments after K-State ' s 35-18 victory over then No. 14 Syracuse on the very grass that once victimized the Wildcats, Snyder accepted the Fiesta Bowl trophy from Fiesta Bowl President Charles Thompson. The sea of purple, which Snyder estimated at 50,000, cheered and recalled Junker ' s diplomatic question asked at the pep rally a day before: How about a victory tomorrow? Then will you consider coming back next year? Snyder raised the trophy above his head and, for the first time all season, allowed a grin to creep across his face, realizing the possibility of an encore in 1998 when the Fiesta Bowl hosts the No. 1 and No. 2 ranked teams in the newly-developed Super Alliance. Fireworks rattled the sky and cheers cascaded from fans seated above. It was New Years ' Eve, but for K-State football it felt like Independence Day. K-State had been termed a fluke by some critics for half a decade, even though it was joined by only Nebraska, Ohio State, Penn State, Florida and Florida State as one of six teams in Division I to win nine or more games for five straight seasons. K-State ' s final win dissolved much national criticism, proved its Top 10 ranking, and with an 11-1 finish the best in school history — ensured a Top 10 ranking heading into 1998. The victory over the Big East Champion Orangemen came on the eve of the anniversary of the Wildcats ' 19-15 defeat by Brigham Young in the 1996 Cotton Bowl, which dropped K-State from No. 14 at season ' s end to No. 23 by the beginning of the 1997 campaign. There ' s always a little bit of remorse where maybe we didn ' t do as good as we could have or didn ' t complete it totally, linebacker Travis Ochs said. But that is one of the goals — to get to a good bowl and be a better team. After climbing the polls the first three weeks of 1997, a 56-26 loss against then No. 1 ranked Nebraska in Lincoln dropped the Wildcats from No. 16 to No. 22. Then, a six game winning streak over Texas A M, Oklahoma, Texas Tech, Kansas and Colorado propelled K-State to No. 7 with a week to play. the Wildcats won convincingly in their regular season finale at Iowa State, 28-3, they descended to No. 9 at the end of the regular season. With a lower ranking than other alliance bowl including No. 5 North Carolina and No. 6 UCLA, the decision to invite K-State to its first alliance bowl Dec. 7 with a $8.5 million payout created waves. Junker made his statement clear when he visited Manhattan three days after announcing K-State ' s invitation. K-State went in a conference, and you could say they ' ve made the leap for good, he said. We don ' t feel the need at all to apologize or rationalize our decision. The 69,367 fans in attendance at Sun Devil and a national audience witnessed another chapter for Snyder, the author of the greatest in college football history. It was a story that would not end until the Wildcats won the national (Continued on page 256) There ' s always a little bit of remorse where maybe we didn ' t do as good as we could have or didn ' t complete it totally. But that is one of the goals — to get to a good bowl and be a better team. - Junior linebacker Travis Ochs football.255 (Continued from page 255) championship. There ' s more to come, Snyder said after the game with a smile and a wink. Although all 105 players reported to summer practice, including 12 junior college recruits, K-State suffered the loss of 14 starters after 1996, and Snyder knew his team would have to gel during the non conference schedule as teams like Nebraska, Texas A M and Colorado loomed ahead later in the season. During the season opener, Snyder saw his quarterback, junior Michael Bishop, who brought a 24-0 record and two national championships with him from Blinn Community College in Texas, engineer his offense like a four-year veteran when he threw a school record tying four touchdown passes during K-State ' s 47-7 victory over Northern Illinois. Coming in, I didn ' t know what to expect, Bishop said after accepting the starting nod. I ' m going to do my best and make the team successful. But Snyder looked worried on Sept. 13 as he paced the sideline during the second game of the season against Ohio. Snyder wasn ' t content with his 17-0 second quarter lead against Ohio in the home-opener. For Snyder, each game was the biggest game. For Snyder, each play was the biggest play. K-State ' s offense was dry and following a five-yard sack, a loss of 11 on a quarterback scramble and an unsportsmanlike conduct penalty, Bishop, who had completed just three of 13 passes that day, found his team facing third and 30 at the Ohio 42. Little did 42,097 people at KSU Stadium realize they were witnessing an early defining moment for the 1997 season. Bishop dropped back to pass and rolled right, looking down field. Nothing. So, he rolled left, deeper backfield, his eyes still searching down field, and suddenly he was some 60 yards from the end zone. As the offensive line finally collapsed around him, he unleashed a bomb that somehow found its way to wide receiver Everett Burnett along the sideline. Burnett tipped the ball and teammate Gavin Peries ' outstretched body caught the ball on its descent to the Astroturf at the three-yard line. The two defenders on the play shook their heads in disbelief. Running back Eric Hickson, who from a broken leg in 1996 to catch a 65-yard touchdown pass against Illinois State, scored his first rushing touchdown of the season on the next play. We ' ve been working really hard, but things just (Continued on page 259) big 12 record: 7-1 Season Results Northern Illinois 47-7 OHIO 23-20 BOWLING GREEN 58-0 Nebraska 26-56 MISSOURI 41-11 TEXAS A M 36-17 Oklahoma 26-7 Texas Tech 13-2 KANSAS 48-16 COLORADO 37-20 Iowa State Fiesta Bowl Results SYRACUSE 35-18 Tempe, Ariz.

I think it ' s going to work out. We have 105 guys who all want to win and are disciplined enough to work hard. It was execution, a few miracle plays, brilliant individual and team sprinkled with a dash of that trademarked K-State ' s four seasons. Still, Snyder insisted his team could get better each week. Perhaps that is why Snyder said he treated the 58-0 victory against Bowling Green State the same as a 23-20 squeaker over Ohio the week before and said he celebrated by watching Nebraska game tapes for the following week. The powerful defense, which ended the season ranked fifth and finished in the Top 20 for the fifth-straight time, held No. 14 Texas A M to negative-35 yards during K-State ' s 36-17 win. The performance promted Snyder to say, Nothing surprises me. When Snyder ' s team knocked off Colorado for the first time in his career, 37-20, he said, It means we ' re 9 and 1. None of that makes any difference today. Snyder incorporated his day-to-day mentality into his players. All he tells us is to take it one step at a time, running back Mike Lawrence said. You work hard for that one game and whatever happens, happens. You just have to take it one step at a time, just like when you ' re learning to walk. That being the case, the Wildcats ' schedule went through a growth spurt between Bowling Green and Nebraska, who they played the following weekend and lost to for the 29th straight time. In nine seasons, Nebraska remained the only team Snyder had never which prompted one reporter to ask the popular question : Reporter: What is the frustration like in knowing you have never beaten Nebraska? Snyder: I ' m not frustrated. You might be, but I ' m not. Reporter: Well, I ' m not. Snyder: OK. Well then, that makes two of us. This from the man who boarded the team charter plane first, sat in the first seat in coach and had his briefcase before anyone else entered, never once looking up from his scouting reports. Following K-State ' s slim margin against Ohio, Snyder was asked if he could coach any harder, to which he replied, I doubt anyone can coach any harder than we do — at any time. Nine years ago, K-State didn ' t have enough scholarship players to fill a bus. In 1997, K-State had 73 scholarship aboard. Snyder had already seen 35 players turn pro during his tenure. And there was Big 12 Offensive of the Year, second-team all-Big 12 selection, and projected future Heisman Trophy candidate, Bishop, who 14 of 23 passes for 317 yards and four touchdowns and rushed for 73 more, holding his Fiesta Bowl Offensive Player of the Game trophy, not quite five months into Snyder ' s system. Snyder said Bishop had learned 75 percent of the system. Who knows what could happen next year, Bishop said. I just need to improve each day. Snyder stood before a national in a media tent following the biggest win of his career and said, I ' m about as satisfied as you can be with an 11-1 I ' m happy about winning 11 ballgames. I ' m happy about losing one. That ' s behind us, nothing I can do about It was an hour before New Years Day. Snyder said he would celebrate when he got home. Somewhere in his office was a Nebraska game tape, awaiting his football. 259 Martin Gramatica earned a couple of nicknames during his brilliant kicking season, but by sea son ' s end he took on a new identity: the best. (Photo by Clif Palmberg) Forget for a minute the ending chapter, the final page of junior place-kicker Martin Gramatica ' s story that turned an individual as brilliant as any could be, into a pumpkin just before midnight. His last two field goal attempts, a 52 and a 44 yarder that sailed within feet of the uprights in the stillness of Sun Devil Stadium were ones that blemished an otherwise crystal-perfect season. For Gramatica, 1997 was truly a Cinderella story. After being sidelined the entire 1996 season with a torn anterior cruciate ligament in his left knee that he suffered two days before his season debut, Gramatica came into 1997 with hopes of just kicking again. Once you get an injury like this, you pay a lot more attention to your leg, Gramatica said before the season began. I ' ve just worked really hard to get back. Gramatica made 19 of 20 field goals and 37 of 38 extra points during a season in which he led the nation in field goal percentage (.950). Besides being named first team All-American by Football News, he won the Lou Groza Collegiate Place-Kicker Award in West Palm Beach, Fla., at season ' s end. His family and a nation of viewers marvelled at the accomplishment. They just couldn ' t believe it, Gramatica said. I never expected to be here before the season started. Gramatica, who attributed all his successes to his teammates, couldn ' t evade the reoccurring spotlight each time he lined up for a field goal attempt. He recited a Spanish prayer to calm his nerves, looked at the goal, took four steps back at a 45-degree angle and nodded to James Garcia before putting the ball through the uprights, keeping his head down all the way. If I had a dream, I don ' t think it ' d be as good as this was, Gramatica said after hitting field goals of 37, 52 and 55 yards against Ohio on Sept. 13. Since the day I got hurt, I ' ve just been dreaming about hitting a long field goal. The 55-yarder was a personal best for Gramatica and initiated his march into school history. Celebration ensued after every made where even Gramatica admitted he didn ' t know what he did following a kick, but he ran around the field, leaping into the arms of linemen or Garcia. My first reaction is to put my arms up and cheer and then put my arms down to catch Martin, Garcia said. I ' ve got to be ready. A composed Coach Bill Snyder stood on the sideline following Gramatica ' s 55-yarder that put K-State ahead 23-0 against Ohio. Gramatica said he had thoughts of jumping on his coach, to which Snyder ensured, He would have been in trouble. But Snyder condoned Gramatica ' s theatrics following each kick. He lets people know that something good has happened, he said. It ' s not a selfish-type of display. It ' s very team oriented, and he ' s very much that way. However, the chemistry between the snapper, holder and kicker that Garcia said led to Gramatica ' s nickname, Little Lou, was off Gramatica ' s encore as the best kicker in the country, and he missed his final kicks during 35-18 Fiesta Bowl win over Syracuse. Gramatica didn ' t jump on teammates and the excitable player, whose 5-foot 9-inch frame created an aura bigger than his linemen, seemed somber on the sidelines following each kick. Even so, Gramatica was ' determined to redeem himself in 1998. Coming into next year, I can have a goal, he said. This year, my goal was just to be able to play. Winning the award will make me better, just having to stand up for what that means. I know it will mean a lot to Lou Groza. MARTIN GRAMATICA RECOVERS FROM INJURY TO BECOME THE BEST KICKER IN THE NATION BY D. SCOTT FRITCHEN 260.martin gramatica Place-kicker Martin Gramatica celebrates his history-making kick against Kansas on Nov. 8 at KSU Stadium as holder James Garcia looks on. Gramatica ' s 21-yard field goal with 45 seconds remaining in the second quarter increased K-State ' s lead to 21-9, and placed him as the all-time leading scorer in school history. His 12 points during the 48-16 win earned him 202 for his career and eclipsed the previous mark of 196 points. With a 52-yarder against Colorado the following week, Gramatica became the only kicker at K-State to hit three field goals of 50 or more yards in a single season. He set a school-record of 13 consecutive field goals before missing his only one during the regular season, a 45-yarder at Oklahoma, Oct. 25. Coincidentally, his school record streak of made extra points was also snapped with a block at Oklahoma. Gramatica ended the season with 218 points for his career with one year of elgibility remaining for 1998.

All 112 players, some of them overcome with emotion, walked through the west tunnel of Arizona State Activities Center to face 14,000 adoring Wildcat fans, who had turned the basketball arena into a purple pit. Wow, team captain and linebacker Mark Simoneau said while addressing the crowd. This is really Tomorrow, it ' s time to take care of business. And then the place erupted, the fans ' intensity in the enclosed arena doubling the noise level of KSU Stadium on game day. The 39 minutes preceeding the team ' s arrival from practice was full of notes of inspiration for the 12th man K-State fans. This is the largest pep rally in the history of the Fiesta Bowl. They can hear you all the way back to Manhattan, and I have a sneaking suspicion that they can hear you in Lawrence, President Jon Wefald said. My final word is K-State has the greatest fans in America. The end. Period. Good night. And that was all it took for the fans, who traveled more than 1,300 miles, to reach a sustainable climax that lasted for more than a minute and enlightened a team that a nation of critics had disregarded for five years. A lot of people have been talking for the past five years that we ' re just a fluke, running back Mike Lawrence said at a pre-bowl press conference. People still think that Kansas State is a joke, that we ' re just lucky. A lot of people don ' t even think we deserve to be here. Before the Fiesta Bowl, not one Syracuse player knew the name of a single K-State player. Members of the New (Continued on page 264) defeating Syracuse 35-18 in the fiesta bowl, k-state answers the critics ' call and joins the elite of college football fiesta bowl.263 from Zero to hero (Continued from page 263) York media also said the players did not know K-State ' s mascot was the Wildcat. Syracuse might not know who we are, Lawrence said. I ' m sure at time ' s end they ' ll know K-State is a good football team. K-State introduced itself to the national television including 69,367 people at Sun Devil Stadium who wondered if the Wildcats could escape the past—once full of disappointing seasons and heartbreak — and knock on the door of the nation ' s elite group of college football teams. Quarterback Michael Bishop answered the call by blasting Syracuse for 391 all-purpose yards and setting a Fiesta Bowl record with a 77-yard touchdown pass to Darnell McDonald, the longest pass play in bowl history. We kind of felt like we didn ' t get the respect we deserved, Bishop said. Hopefully, we sent a message out tonight. There were no last-minute disappointments, and the tears shed in the closing minutes of No. 9 K-State ' s 35-18 victory over No. 14 Syracuse were ones of sheer joy. I think our people are beginning to get the feel of things, Coach Bill Snyder said. The 50,000 purple fans who attended realized they had witnessed a monumental win for the hist ory of K-State football. This is just the beginning, Bishop said. This win right here should set the tone for next year. And there was Lawrence standing on the north endzone of Sun Devil Stadium minutes after the game, saluting the fans, who embraced him with a standing ovation. Then, like a scene out of Jerry McGuire, Lawrence fed off the adrenaline of his final game, shed his jersey and pads and dressed only in a gray T-shirt and uniform pants, performed a series of back flips mirroring actor Cuba Gooding Jr. ' s in the movie. Lack of respect isn ' t really frustrating, Lawrence said. I think we deserve a lot of respect from a lot of teams, but we ' re just not going to get it yet. Stay tuned.

(Photos by Jill Jarsulic and Clif Palmberg) Manhattan TOPEKA for nearly 50,000 K-State fans, it seemed like yesterday they journeyed to Tempe, Ariz., for the Fiesta Bowl. While some towns ' entire populations packed buses, others occupied airplanes. Fans drove RVs, cars and one group even manuvered a 1950 ' s Cadillac ambulance 1,308 miles through icy conditions to reach the sunshine tranquility of Arizona. Gas stations and convienence stores along Interstate 56 buzzed with anxious fans who stopped momentarily before their more than 20-hour trip. For a few days in late December, down town Tempe ' s streets flooded with fans. Downtown Tempe turned into a larger scaled Aggieville as fans visited Tempe ' s restaurants, 16 nightclubs and littered the Mill Avenue shops. K-State fans even painted Arizona State ' s A Mountain, which overlooked the stadium, purple by Dec. 29. However, the passion for Wildcat purple became more pronounced two days later, when a small dot of Syracuse orange was swallowed by the sea of K-State fans inside sold-out Sun Devil Stadium. They said we sold 23,000 tickets, Coach Bill Snyder said. If we had sold only 23,000 tickets, the place would have only been half-full. I don ' t know how many we had here. The faithful Wildcat fans, who followed their football team to Tucson, Ariz., four seasons before for the Copper Bowl, gathered again to their fifth-straight bowl appearance in the heart of the Twin Buttes. K-State ' s bowl victory came a few hours before midnight. For K-State fans, New Year ' s Eve was truly a fiesta.

Instead, the players turned their Jan. 29 season premiere of intramural co-rec basketball into a party, a scoring fest. Showtime ' s arsenal of experience exploded its 113-17 victory over Yo Yo Ma ' s — a first year team whose name scored more points with originality than the players did on the basketball court — and officially started its quest for an co-rec basketball championship. After Showtime won the intramural co-rec football championship on the game ' s final play two months before, everyone ' s aim should have been to knock off the champions on the basketball court. However, Yo Yo Ma ' s Matt Barnes, senior in geography, said he didn ' t know much about Showtime ' s reputation before the game. They ' re supposed to be pretty good, Barnes said. That ' s what I heard a couple of hours ago. What Yo Yo Ma ' s, the referees and gathering fans couldn ' t predict was such a lopsided victory a 96-point margin — which would linger in the players ' minds for the rest of the season. For 40 minutes, Yo Yo Ma ' s players fought to escape a rare and humbling 100-point defeat, a feat Steve Martini, associate director of recreational said occured once or twice a season, usually in the co-rec leagues. It was evident Yo Yo Ma ' s players, donning baby-blue T-shirts bearing the name Yo Yo Ma ' s in military stencil, were out-matched from the of the game. Four players — two men and two women represented each team on the court. A rule men from entering the lane, so it was the women who flooded the inside and shot lay-ups. Showtime ' s Amy Pickel, junior in family and consumer sciences, scored 18 points during an opening 44-0 run that finally e nded when Yo Yo Ma ' s Erik Schneweis, senior in elementary hit a free-throw after being clotheslined with 7 minutes, 29 seconds left in the first half. It was Yo Yo Ma ' s only point in the first hal f. Showtime ' s full-court press forced Yo Yo Ma ' s into 28 turnovers before Schneweis ' half-court, buzzer-beating prayer went unanswered at the mercy of halftime, which ceased the 66-1 thrashing. We need to start somewhere, Yo Yo Ma ' s member Jason Votruba, junior in accounting and finance, said. This is bad. Showtime ' s Pickel and Becky Oppliger, in elementary education, combined to score 46 of their team ' s 66 first-half points. Can we shoot now? Showtime ' s Tad Melichar, senior in agricultural economics, asked after scoring four points. We need to shoot. I ' ve shot two shots the whole game. Showtime went on a 6-0 run to begin the half before Manhattan resident Jessica Cannon made her team ' s first field goal of the game. An assembly of onlookers cheered and looked at the scoreboard. It was 72-3. However, Brian Vulgamore, senior in agricultural economics, answe red with a three-pointer, which sparked Showtime 20-0 scoring run. That ended with Votruba ' s jumpshot, which made it 92-5. And but six players in baby-blue waited patiently to see a 100-point victory. I think this is the funniest thing I ' ve done all my life, Cannon said, waiting for the final minutes to expire. We ' re losing. Have some humor in it. (Continued on page 270) BONUS POSS BONUS The scoreboard at Chester E. Peters Complex reflects one of the largest victories in the history of intramural co-ed basketball. As one of two females on the Showtime team, Pickel played the entire game and was ready to celebrate the victory. I ' m tired. I ' m going to go home and take a shower and go drink beer, and then I ' ll feel better, she said.

Despite being down by almost 100 points, Yo Yo Ma ' s kept their until the final buzzer. (Photo by Clif (Continued from page 269) The final chance to secure a 100-point victory was botched by Pickel, who missed a free throw, keeping the score at 113-14. With a few seconds remaining, Schneweis hit a three-pointer to end the game, 113-17. Schneweis stepped off the court with his arms raised in victory — moral victory. There would be no 100-point lead that Thursday night. The crowd roared. Worst defeat? Ever, Kevin Day, scorekeeper and junior in business, said. I ' ve seen a lot of basketball. A total of 334 basketball teams in 59 different leagues competed in the spring tournament, which included 12 co-rec leagues. Showtime stamped its early-season claim as a co-rec league contender. After finishing the five game regular season, it strolled into the single elimination 66-team tournament to compete for the co-rec league title. We scored more points than I thought we would, but we ' re going to face tougher Vulgamore said after Showtime ' s first game. We definitely need more work. Perhaps the only aspect of Showtime ' s weakness 270.intramural basketball lay in the team roster, which contained a team minimum two women, Oppliger and Pickel. However, Pickel led Showtime with 48 points and Oppliger scored 32. Their four male teammates combined to score 33 points. I was busy looking for the girls on the inside, Steve Purcell, junior in life sciences, said. He scored four points during the win. They were really stepping up for us this game. Since two women from each team were required on the court at all times, Vulgamore was challenged with having to play with only two women for the entire game. He said he planned on recruiting a few more women until the deadline at the end of the regular season. In co-rec, it ' s all about the girls, Vulgamore said before the game. If you don ' t have good girls, you ' re in trouble. I think we have some good girls, so we were all right tonight. On the other side of the court were Yo Yo Ma ' s players, who had four games to erase the one that spoiled their season debut. We were just having fun, Amy Flax, senior in elementary education, said after scoring two points for Yo Yo Ma ' s. It doesn ' t bother us that bad. We were just happy to get into double digits. Fighting for a jumpball, Manhattan resident Jessica Cannon gets double teamed by Oppliger and Pickel. With men not allowed in the lane, female players carried the game ' s offense.

(Photo by Jeff Cooper) 272.intramural wrist wrestling Participants measure strength, endurance in fast-paced competition The Intramural Wristwrestling Tournament offered something for everyone who was willing to risk their right arm or suffer an embarrassing quick loss. For some, it was a battle to wear an Intramural Champion T-shirt. Others competed just for fun. I ' m on the women ' s rowing team, Emily Benz, freshman in pre-health professions program, said. We lift all the time so I figured I ' d give it a try. Enrique Avila, non-degree undergraduate in animal sciences and industry, won the Residence Hall Middleweight Division, but needed encouragement to even enter the event. I ' m just doing it for fun, Avila said. I wasn ' t even gonna sign up for this, but my RA convinced me, so here I am. Although competitors had their own reasons for participating, some took the competition more seriously, and each competitor had their own way of preparing for the night. I just warmed up before tonight, Avila said. Basically, I lifted some weights. Then I played some basketball. Participants weighed-in the day of the tournament and were divided into fraternity, resident hall or independent weight classes. Since placement in the brackets was based on weight classification, some contestants resorted to dieting or quick-fix weight-loss techniques prior to competition. I didn ' t eat last night to make weigh-ins, said Marcus Farr, sophomore in pre-health professions program, who won the residence hall 150-pound flyweight division. I ' m just thinking about Pizza Shuttle, Andy Moburg, winner of the residence hall 175-pound lightweight division, said. Having an intramural event like wristwrestling took Benz by surprise. This is pretty amusing, she said. The whole intramural arm wrestling idea. I didn ' t think it would be a big thing. Most of the contestants weren ' t daunted by competing in front of three bleachers full of spectators. It ' s just a game, nothing really too big to worry about, Farr said. You gotta have fun. I am still a little nervous though. You never want to lose. The contestants checked in at the officiating table and made their way to meet the other competitors waiting in the bleachers.Most matches lasted 10-20 seconds, but several ended less than five seconds after the whistle blew. It just didn ' t seem like we had any long, matches, Steve Martini, intramural director, said. I thought it went pretty smooth. It ' s always a nice event. Marty freshman in heard cheers from the crowd after he fought back from a near loss to beat his opponent. Grusznis pinned the victim quickly with one motion. I was thinking I was gonna lose, but he kept on and I figured I could push him back on the rebound, he said.

We won ' t feel comfortable until we ' re in compliance with Title IX. It ' s a priority for K-State. Athletic gender participation rates continued to challenge K-State. While variables like fluctuating college populations, budget cutbacks, insurance costs and sport popularity could affect athletic participation, 1998 illustrated K-State ' s improvement. According to a March 1998 review draft prepared by subcommittee member Paul Parsons, 144 women contributed to the 402 varsity student athletes enrolled. Although the participation ratio, 65 percent men and 35 percent women, was n ' t proportional to K-State ' s overall enrollment, 53 percent men and 47 percent women, it stayed consistent with 1997 figures. The ratio was an increase from 1994 and 1995, when women ' s athletic participation lingered below 30 percent. The proportionality increase was directly attributed to the addition of women ' s crew in 1996, which included 65 athletes. Women ' s crew was the only women ' s sport added since softball was instituted in 1977. Women ' s softball folded in 1986. I think everyone involved feels it ' s been a great thing, women ' s crew coach Jenny Hale said. It ' s been established for two years, and results are already on the board. Hale said the adoption of women ' s crew marked another step for K-State athletics in gaining compliance status. When I came to K-State, I knew I ' d get a lot of support and the sport would as well, she said. For equity issues, as long as we continue to make opportunities for women ' s sports, we ' ll continue moving forward. player Mark Simoneau and volleyball player Dawn Cady were two of 402 varsity athletes in 1998. Adding women ' s crew in 1996 helped equal athletic participation ratios. K-State varsity athletics of 65 percent men and 35 percent women in 1998. (Photo by Clif It ' s been 26 years since Title IX took effect and provided the foundation for equalizing NCAA intercollegiate athletics. While Title IX paved a road toward offering equal opportunities in women ' s sports, it continued to be a battle in 305 Division I colleges across the nation. Title IX required colleges to comply with 13 detailed gender-equity issues that included athletic financial assistance, travel expenses, publicity, recruiting budgets, medical training and academic tutoring. However, since Title IX ' s existence, virtually every Division I college failed to meet at least one of the standards that determined compliance status. Including K-State. If you look at the published reports, we ' re not even close, Cindy Fox, senior woman administrator, said, so we ' ve got a long way to go. But, people are really seeing the value of Title IX. It ' s at the forefront of everybody ' s thoughts. According to NCAA rules, colleges that violate Title IX could face a revocation of federal funds. In K-State ' s case, that would be about $600,000. But the NCAA rarely levied such a punishment. Provided college athletic departments installed an improvement plan, officials continually evaluated for progress toward compliance. K-State ' s athletic department devised a Title IX Review for its Intercollegiate Athletic Council Equity Subcommittee, which evaluated Title IX compliance status. The subcommittee, which included Fox, K-State faculty, student athletes and other constituencies, met during fall and spring semesters.

(Photo by Palmberg) Early-season youth and inexperience transform into promise for struggling women ' s basketball team any coach for a word they least want to use when describing their season and the answer would be rebuilding. But rebuilding is exactly what Deb Patterson, lead women ' s basketball coach, had to do. With just four players returning from the 1997 NCAA Tournament team and an 11-17 record, K-State ' s roster consisted of seven newcomers, which included five freshmen. Two of those freshmen, guard Kim Woodlee and forward Brandy Harris, started most the season. Even the four returning players were relatively young. Guard Brit Jacobson was the team ' s only senior, and forward Jenny Coalson was the only returning junior. We brought in so many new faces, Coach Patterson said. I ' m really happy with the performance of our young players this season. With youth and inexperience, a lot of questions surrounded the season. Patterson ' s original plan was to switch Jacobson, a shooting guard, to point guard to take pressure off freshmen Woodlee and Dee DeShay. However, Woodlee shined in the preseason and won the point-guard position, which allowed Jacobson to remain at shooting guard. Woodlee shot lights out for the Wildcats from beyond the three-point arc. Despite battling knee and finger injuries all season, Woodlee ' s 43 percent three-point shooting set a single-season school record and ranked second in the Big 12 Conference. Sophomore center Angie Finkes rallied to lead the Cats in scoring. After averaging 7.3 points per game her freshman year, she stepped up to average 13.6 points and 5.3 rebounds per contest. It ' s just clicking better than it was, Finkes said. I ' m realizing what I have to do and not trying to take on so much and just do what I know how to do. The Wildcats started the season with a difficult non-conference schedule featuring six 1997 NCAA Tournament teams. K-State began 6-2 before losing its first two Big 12 games. Shortly after the beginning of the Big 12 season, an already shallow Wildcat squad suffered two losses. DeShay had knee surgery to repair an injury she suffered in high school, which caused her to miss the rest of the season. Junior forward Ewa Laskowska, a transfer from Independence Community College, returned home after her team ' s conference-season opening loss to Nebraska. That left the Wildcats with only nine available players. The team played almost exclusively with six players throughout the conference schedule, and each of the starters played at least one 40 minute game during the remainder of the season. After losing to Nebraska, the Wildcats, led by Harris ' 16-point, nine-rebound effort, recovered to beat intrastate rival Kansas 53-47 in front of 3,762 fans at Bramlage Coliseum. K-State lost its following two games but put together consecutive home wins against Colorado and Baylor to even its conference record at 3-3. The players pointed to their running offense something they didn ' t always do well — as the key difference in those wins. I thought we came out and played the kind of basketball we needed to play, Patterson said. When we ' re playing within the framework of the system, we ' re a much better ball club. The rest of the season consisted mostly of near misses or total blowouts. K-State lost to Iowa State by 18, dropped a heartbreaker to the Buffaloes in Boulder, Colo., and lost at home to Oklahoma by two. Those close losses left the team on a three-game losing streak going into the rematch against Kansas at Allen Fieldhouse. The Cats jumped out on the Jayhawks early, taking a 35-25 halftime lead. However, KU recovered in the second half to pull ahead and edge the Cats by a 65-62 margin. The comeback prevented K-State ' s first sweep in the season series since the 1990-91 season. I really thought it was a great basketball game, Patterson said. It could have gone either way. I thought we had a great opportunity to drop down a shot to tie at the end.

The Wildcats ended the road portion of their schedule in College Station, Texas, trying to pick up a conference road win against Texas A M. Despite shooting 60 percent in the first half, they fell 81-76 and completed a dismal 0-8 conference road record. For the regular season finale and Senior Day for Jacobson, the Wildcats battled regular-season conference champion, then No. 6, Texas Tech. On an emotional day, which featured a national television audience and a season-high crowd of 3,770, the Wildcats came out inspired and took an 11-0 lead. With season-high 65 percent shooting in the first half, the Cats led 39-35 at halftime. Texas Tech battled back to tie the game seven times and spoiled Jacobson ' s last home game with a 67-62 victory. The loss left K-State with a 10-16 regular season record and a 4-12 finish in the Big 12. Despite the loss, Jacobson said the Senior Day festivities were special. What really meant a lot was being able to say thank you to everyone — the fans, the people, everyone, Jacobson said. K-State means a lot to me. I ' ve had a lot of fun here, and I don ' t want it to end. Jacobson scored 10 points in the game to become only the second player in K-State history to finish with at least 1,500 points, 200 assists and 200 steals in a career. K-State ' s season officially ended in Kansas City. Mo., at the Big 12 Tournament, where the 11th seeded Cats lost to third-seeded Kansas in the second round, 50-46. The Cats played sixth-seeded Baylor in the first round, which they beat in their only other meeting of the season. K-State shot a season-high 69.6 percent in the first half and battled back from a six-point, second-half deficit to force overtime and eventually won, 75-66, to advance to the second round. Two sophomores, forward Nicky Ramage and Finkes, had career games against Baylor. Each player accounted for a career-high 27 points and added 10 rebounds. Patterson said their performance illustrated the young players ' potential and would benefit her team entering the next season. This was a great step for our program and our team to see these two young ladies assert themselves possession after possession, Patterson said. For two sophomores to step on the floor and dominate the paint as they did on the offensive end of the floor for us, bodes very well for their future and the future of this program. big 12 record: 4-12 women ' s basketball overall record:11-17 ILLINOIS STATE W DRAKE W DePaul Tournament DePaul L DePaul Tournament Yale W Wildcat Classic GRAMBLING STATE W Wildcat Classic SOUTHERN A M W UTAH L Ohio State W Marquette L San Diego State L Nebraska L KANSAS W Missouri L NEBRASKA L COLORADO W BAYLOR W Iowa State L Colorado W OKLAHOMA W Kansas L Texas W 66-55 82-76 68-75 75-47 73-54 82-38 57-68 67-64 66-81 53-57 58-80 53-47 56-72 47-78 64-52 62-59 46-64 66-55 82-76 68-75 75-47 MISSOURI W 73-54 IOWA STATE W 82-38 Oklahoma State L 57-68 Texas A M W 67-64 TEXAS TECH L 81-66 Big 12 Tournament Baylor W 75-66 Big 12 Tournament Kansas L 46-50 Front row: Brandy Harris, Bridgett Bonds Williams, Kamie Ethridge, Deb Patterson, Sue Serafini, Brit Jacobson.

With the Wildcat ' s exhibition opener a week away, Vitale promised life to the team that many pre-season publications — including Vitale ' s — predicted would finish no better than 12th in the Big 12 Conference. May all your dreams be realized, he screamed. And everyone listened. Vitale arrived at Manhattan Municipal Airport by private jet and was swept to the Holiday Inn by limousine to address 250 fans at a $50 a plate dinner. He spent more than 30 minutes before talking to Coach Tom Asbury ' s squad about the X ' s and O ' s of winning in life — The Game of Life speech he delivered to Fortune 500 companies across the nation. Vitale emphasized family values, training, hard work, dedication and believing in oneself. I had a great time talking with the team, Vitale said. I told them about having a sense of pride in wearing their uniform and believing in themselves and tried to build on positive things from last year. Vitale autographed 250 items in 30 minutes for fans at the reception in the Holiday Inn Ballroom and followed with an inspirational speech filled with personal anecdotes about college basketball and life. At times, Vitale ' s words brought laughter that shook the chandeliers or created sorrowful silence. I think the message is that you can achieve anything, associate athletic director of development Mike O ' Brien said. Don ' t accept the word, ' Can ' t. ' That ' s what he told our basketball team tonight. Fans embraced Vitale ' s presence at Bramlage Coliseum with a standing ovation after he paced midcourt and told them to have faith in their basketball program. Vitale fueled the ch eers by saying several of his patented phrases, including It ' s awesome, baby, and had his own sound-alike contest, which solicited fan participation. While the men ' s basketball team warmed up for the season ' s opening practice, Vitale sat courtside and signed autographs for a line of fans that spanned to nearly halfcourt. Asbury said most people knew Vitale only from his colorful commentary during college basketball games on ESPN or ABC. However, one subject of Vitale ' s agenda was to include the community in supporting K-State basketball. He ' s a real ambassador for us and people seem to like him or dislike him, Asbury said. I think our guys came away with a great appreciation. He ' s a little different than his television persona. After visits to Duke and UCLA, it took Vitale three connecting flights to land in Manhattan, his final college destination of the week. He watched the Wildcats scrimmage against each other and said he hoped his talk would remain in the players ' hearts throughout the season. If they can play Kansas to the last second, they can play anyone else, Vitale said. They have to take that same kind of effort (in every game).

(Photo by Ivan Kozar) knows why the men ' s basketball team, picked to finish last in the preseason polls, ended the season battling for a NCAA Tournament berth. But Coach Tom Asbury said he was not surprised by his team, which had the biggest turnaround in school history. K-State left the Big 12 Tournament with a 17-11 record and gained a NIT bid. This came just one season after it endured a dismal 10-17 mark. When we ' re playing well, I don ' t think we ' re expecting too much of this team, Asbury said. But we haven ' t always been playing well. Unlike some of the other teams in this league, we weren ' t supposed to be very good. K-State lept to a 9-0 start before dropping their first loss to then-No. 6 Arizona in the Fiesta Bowl Basketball Classic Dec. 30. The winning streak was the Wildcats ' best in 40 years and the third-best start in the program ' s history. Opening Big 12 play with a bang Jan. 3 at Bramlage Coliseum, the Wildcats handed Missouri its worst loss in school history during a 111-56 defeat. Sophomore guard Josh Reid lead with a career-high 28 points. Big 12 competition on the road was difficult, and the Wildcats picked up only one road win, a victory at Nebraska Feb. 7. However, the Wildcats were nearly unbeatable in Bramlage. Their only blemishes to a 12-2 record included a 73-58 loss to conference champion and then-No. 4 Kansas Feb. 14 and a 64-61 loss to regular season conference runner-up Oklahoma State, Feb. 21. Junior Manny Dies was an inside force throughout the season and finished the regular season ninth in the Big 12 in scoring and 10th in rebounding, averaging 16.3 points and 7.5 rebounds a game. Dies broke his career high of 22 points Jan. 10, scoring 27 points against Iowa State. Dies led the team in scoring during 10 games, which included a 21-point game, two 25-point games, one 26-, one 27- and one 28-point game. Known primarily as a defensive player in past seasons, Dies made impressions on his teammates and his opponents throughout the season. Manny is always making big plays for us down the stretch, senior guard Aaron Swartzendruber said. He ' s getting better and better as the season goes on. In Allen Fieldhouse Jan. 17, the Kansas Jayhawks weren ' t prepared for the new-and-improved Dies. He scored 26 points during a close game in Lawrence but the Wildcats ultimately fell to the Jayhawks, Unfortunately for the Wildcats, Dies did not duplicate his performance against the Jayhawks in Manhattan. I came out and tried to play the same game I played there, but they were more focused on me this time, Dies said after a 73-58 loss against Kansas Feb. 14. The Hawks only allowed Dies eight points and six rebounds, and Asbury said he didn ' t see Dies ' road getting easier down the regular-season stretch. We know Manny ' s not going to get 26 points every night, Asbury said. Defenses are skewed towar ds him now. Ten points and 10 rebounds is a good game for him. Guarding Dies for Kansas was Hawks senior forward Raef LaFrentz who, because of a wrist injury that kept him out of the first match-up, played the Wildcats for the first time at Bramlage. Keeping Dies in check was more difficult than the all-American player expected. Manny ' s a vastly improved basketball player, LaFrentz said. He ' s totally different than the Manny I knew before. LaFrentz wasn ' t the only Hawk to take note of the improved Wildcats. I ' m really impressed with their ball club, Kansas Coach Roy Williams said following the victory at Bramlage. We were out of sync for a while, and part of that is the Kansas State defense. Dies ' achievements earned him a place on the Big 12 Conference ' s All-Improved Specialty Team, but he ended the season on the bench. Dies was suspended following his arrest on Feb. 21, and although two of the four charges were dropped, he sat out the regular season ' s last two games. Without Dies, K-State went 1-1 its last two games of the regular season and suffered its worst (Continued on page 284) •The Wildcats ' 9-0 start was the third-best start in school history and the best in 40 years. • Bench reserves averaged 28 points a game, while the Wildcat defense kept their opponents ' bench to 18.6 points a game. •K-State hit six or more three-pointers in 15 games. •Coach Tom Asbury became the seventh winningest coach in school history when he picked up his 55th victory against Texas A M Feb. 25. men ' s basketball.283 Rebounding in style (Continued from page 283) conference loss of the season to Missouri Feb. 28, 89-59. The Wildcats lost their starting point guard, sophomore Duane Davis, who sprained his ankle in the tip-off of the Kansas game and was out the remainder of the season. Davis was named to the Big 12 Conference All Newcomer Specialty Team. Asbury said Davis ' presence was missed on the court, especially by Swartzendruber. Aaron ' s trying to wear so many hats, Asbury said. His minutes have gone up. The pressure on him has gone up. He ' s had to play some at point guard, and he will have to play more point guard in the tournament and postseason, if we see it. The Wildcats played well enough to earn an eighth seed in the Big 12 Tournament. Although dropped four of its last five conference games, it headed into its third meeting against Colorado in a game that was literally up for grabs since the two teams split their regular season series. K-State beat Colorado 75-61 in the first round at Kemper Arena. This is a great win for us, Asbury said. This time of year, any win is a great win. We know who ' s on the horizon, but we ' re not going to think about that for an hour. Kansas loomed ahead, and less than a day later, the Wildcats faced a team that had beaten them 12 straight times. Dies played for the first time in three games and sparked a 7-0 run midway through the first half. K-State out-shot KU from the field and three-point range. The Wildcats stayed close like at their first meeting in Lawrence, until KU pulled ahead in the last two minutes of the game and won, 68-61. It was such a war, Asbury said. Trying to defend those guys is a physical battle. They just got more big guys than we do. However, the Wildcats ' vastly improved season paid off March 8, when Asbury learned K-State was offered a bid to play in the NIT tournament. The Wildcats achieved their season-long goal: a post-season bid. I ' m just glad to be in the post-season, Asbury said. That ' s the bottom line. That ' s the key to having a reasonably successful season. That was one of our goals, and we ' ve acheived that. Although Asbury said he felt the Wildcats were going to be selected to play in the NCAA Tournament, he said having any post-season schedule justified respect heading into the following year. It ' s a reward for them playing hard, he said. They ' ve made tremendous strides in improving and gaining respect. I think this is a tribute that we have improved significantly and this will give us a wonderful opportunity to get us a lot more. big 12 record: 7-9 men ' s basketball overall record: 17-11 WESTERN CAROLINA LONG BEACH STATE MERCER UMKC COASTAL CAROLINA Wichita State UALR VCU Fiesta Bowl Classic Davidson Fiesta Bowl Classic Arizona MISSOURI Oklahoma Baylor IOWA STATE Kansas Texas Tech COLORADO NEBRASKA Colorado Nebraska TEXAS KANSAS W 93-74 W 89-50 W 89-60 W 71-50 W 101-72 W 90-83 W 67-51 W 76-70 W 70-63 L 87-125 W 111-56 L 64-71 L 62-73 W 77-59 L 62-69 L 76-79 W 78-60 W 72-49 L 66-77 W 69-63 W 83-79 L 58-73 Iowa State L 62-63 OKLAHOMA STATE L 61-64 TEXAS A M W 95-80 Missouri L 59-89 Big 12 Tournament Colorado W 75-61 Kansas L 61-68 Front row: Travis Hecht, Chris Cox, Justin Koster, Trevor Linton.

Four athletes shared their stories. they competed. They sweated. They wrote about their athletic passions in their own words. These four athletes recounted their experiences and incorporated their unique perspective into a brief diary revealing more than why they compete. It showed how sports have ultimately shaped their lives. From the Astroturf of KSU Stadium, the grass of Memorial Stadium and the hardwood of Bramlage Coliseum, these athletes reflected on the victories, struggles and challenges that molded their seasons. Football player Travis Ochs recalled the intensified glory in beating intrastate rival Kansas for the fourth time in his career. Rugby player Ruth Welters described the task of overcoming opponents and working together to achieve a common goal.

(Photo by Clif Palmberg) 288.travis ochs © V1c-1 November 8, 1997 Sitting in my locker with my head in my hands, I hear the roar of the crowd as the doors to the field are opened but immediately pulled backshut. It was probably just some freshman who wanted a quick glimpse of the excitement hovering over the field. As I went over all the signals and calls in my head, I couldn ' t help but be taken over by the nervous anxiety of how big this game was. I ' ve been through this hundreds of times, I kept telling but the fact of having KU at home for the last time in my career filled my body with fire. I began to think back over the last few days, and slowly I started to realize that this game had been underway since the start of the week. It all started on Monday when the teacher of my first class me in the back of the room with an evil grin. You could go 1-10 this season, and your fans will still love you only if that one win is over KU, he said. Though it was the ninth week of a very long season for me, I realized this game was the and the end for most of the fans. The sound of yelling and chanting from a few of the players brought me back to the present. As I checked over my uniform one last time, I heard the referee calling for the captains to join him for the coin toss. But as we reached the middle of the field and the coin was in the air, all of my tension quickly faded away. They would be receiving the ball first, and that meant the defense would get its first chance at shutting down the Jayhawks. Before long, it would all be over. The ball was snapped and bodies collided. As I had the tight end locked out at full arms length, I took a peak inside, only to see the running back desperately searching for a hole to run through. Before I could even blink, Simoneau and Jeff Kelly flew through the line and splattered Erik Vann all over the turf. While the whole defense celebrated as we ran off the fiel d, the offense sprinted on, knowing they were going to get in the end zone. Just as we reached the bench and started gulping down water, Michael Bishop dropped back and threw a rocket to Darnell McDonald, who lit up the scoreboard. Time w as ticking off the clock and the game was quickly being put out of reach. I knew that before long, I would be standing on the sideline watching the remainder of the game. Not only were the fans who had been dreaming of a fifth straight win over our arch rivals crying out in joy, but a huge burden was finally relieved for us players and another big win was chalked up. This was a season that would soon become one of the greatest in KSU football Running off the field to the fans cheer with such pride, I realized all of this week ' s work and didn ' t even compare to the feeling I had now. As the governor spoke to our team and handed us the trophy that would remain in our for yet another year, my heart began to swell inside. Looking around and seeing 100 of my closest friends, I finally understood what being part of a team was all about. It was a group of guys, from all walks of life, who were brought together by fate and who had vowed to do anything within their power for one another. In one 60-minute game, we proved to each other and a stadium full of people that when you come together as one, there is nothing that can stop you. We still had two challenges ahead of us, but for the rest of the night we could relax knowing we were the best team out on that field today. Travis Ochs senior-in-horticulture travis ochs.289 1997-1998 women ' s Rugby I had no idea what rugby was when I joined the team. I went to my first practice and did not know what to expect. I learned the fundamentals of the game, which are passing the ball backwards, with no pads and how to pack down in a scrum. On our first game day, we only had three team members who had previous experience. The new members were quickly assigned positions. After our first game, we reflected and felt like we were one step behind the other team, but we learned where to make our improvements. After a season of our team made some changes with new players. So again, we were reorganizing our game positions. Our team was greatly benefited by Tony Buckner, who coached our scrumie and motivated the team. In a scrum, the ball is rolled between the two scrums. Then the ball is kicked back by the hooker to the scrum. I was in the row of the scrum. The scrum challenged the other team ' s scrum for possession of the ball, which can be compared to line of scrimmage in football. I think the best of the season was our last game in October. The weather conditions were not the best. We were playing in 30-degree and rain. We were playing who we played our first game of the season, the Kansas City Jazz. During the game, I could see significant improvement with our communication, timing and game skills. Even though we weren ' t winning, we kept our spirits high, which intimidated the opponents. I was shocked when the doctor informed me I could no longer play rugby. I was only 19 years old and already being informed of my physical limitations, which would prevent my participation in some athletic activities. I loved joining my on the pitch, building strong friendships and putting my endurance to the test. The excitement after a successful play was overwhelming and made any aches and pains disappear. With the intensity and the high degree of physical contact, often there were times in which teammates or I would be injured. But nothing kept us from trying to overcome our opponents. Playing rugby taught me how important it is to work with and trust other team members to achieve a common goal. Through all of the positive experiences, I have acquired a love for the games. The most important experience was the many close friendships that were built on and off the pitch field. In the beginning, we only had one thing in and that was rugby. By the end of the season, rugby was only one of the many things that brought us together. Many times after practices and game we would all go out together. The time the team spent together has formed many lasting memories I know we all cherish. Ruth Welters sophomore in sociology Ruth Welters took her share of knocks during the rugby season. However, she didn ' t just learn to love the game, she picked up life-long lessons. Welters stopped playing after she slipped a disc in her back. She said the injury would heal, but by playing again she ran the risk of reinjury.

Helvey concluded his cheering career at K-State after being yell leader for eight years, including two years in high school. (Photo by Clif Palmberg) helvey 1997-1998 Athletic Season As I walked through the gates, I was saddened, because it was then I realized my career as a K-State yell leader was almost over. However, there was still one more KU vs. K-State football game in which I was going to cheer. For me, these intrastate games hold a little extra something special. I was unfortunate enough to attend KU for two years and cheered for their and basketball teams. I admit, it was difficult at first to cheer for us and not for them, but that feeling was short lived. After K-State scored its first I found myself cheering for us without hesitation. I guess my crimson-and-blue blood had turned purple. I have been here for four years, and I can safely say they have been the best years of my life. I have been cheering for a total of eight years, including two years in high school. There is no possible way for me to list all the things cheering has brought me, although there are major perks. I have traveled all over the North American continent from Florida to California and Mexico to Minnesota for free! I have stayed the night at all the Big 12 schools, so I was able to see what their towns had to offer. I have first-hand knowledge when I say I am glad to be a K-Stater. As well as all the sights I have seen, I have made and still sustain countless friendships. I know I always have a free place to stay in almost every corner of this country. Even though there are perks, there is a downside to every sport. Yes, I did say sport. Just like and football, we practice every day to try to constantly get better, as a squad and individually. I get people coming up to me all the time who say, I could do what you guys do. It doesn ' t look that hard. My comment is the same every time. I say, All right, go and grab a basketball and walk on to the team . . . what do you mean you can ' t? Oh, just because Aaron Swartzendruber makes draining threes look easy, that doesn ' t mean you can do it! So what makes you think you can do the things we make look easy? After it in terms they can most people back up and realize we are professionals at what we do. It is then that we finally get some One of the best things being a yell leader has brought me is the family atmosphere there is among squad I have never been with a group of people who place their lives in each others hands like we do. If any of you have seen us at games or at appearances, then you have seen some of the stunts we do and realize some of them are very dangerous. By doing these things day in and day out, it is easy to see how we become so close. We all are very protective of each other, especially of our partners. It is also very nice to have a family here in town when most of ours are far away. I can not express how it makes me feel to know something I have done for over a third of my life is about to come to an end. One thing I do know is I have been extremely lucky to be associated with the sport of cheerleading. It is also very nice to have a family here in town when most of ours are far away Chris Helvey Senior in finance chris helvey.293 And now, the starting line up for your Kansas State Wildcats. . . at point guard from Beercheba Springs, Tenn, No. 21, Kim Woodlee! I will never forget that feeling as I ran onto the court to play my first-ever college basketball game. I ' ll have to admit, I never really thought about playing my first game or my first season at point guard. Although the position seemed quite awkward to me, I concluded Coach Kamie Ethridge was the best point guard I ever heard of. If I could pick anybody in the world to teach me point guard principles, it would be Coach Ethri dge. I know this experience was probably one of the greatest things that could have ever happened to me. To be in the gym with our staff day in and day out is truly an honor. I can ' t thank Coach Patterson, Coach Ethridge, Coach Serafini, or Coach Williams enough for presenting me with an opportunity as great as this one or for the patience they have with me on numerous occasions. To take on the task of running the offense for a Division I, Big 12 Conference school as a was a great challenge. It definitely took some warming up to. Fortunately, as the season went on I gained confidence I could get the job done. Throughout the year, I have seen our team take strides. We were up and we were down. We were faced with adversity on several occasions including the depth of our roster. As our roster shortened, we each partook in more repetitions in practice. Tiring? Yes! But, the experience and knowledge gained were well worth the effort put into it. I can ' t say we were not scared when our roster shortened to nine players, but I can say we adjusted as well as any team could have. We just, plain and simple, accepted the fact nine players were all we needed. Only five can play at once anyway! When you have players like Brit Jacobson and Jenny Coalson in a program, you can see how much a person is willing to give to win. I have personally seen them accomplish things I thought weren ' t humanly possible. They have taught me to give things I honestly didn ' t know I could give — blood, sweat and tears. I can only admire them for the things they have given to our team and to each other. The leadership displayed by these two individuals could never be credi ted enough. Scrapes, bruises and blood were the most common things to be found on their bodies by the end of practice. I strive to be just like them. Hard work is assumed in our program, it is not optional. If I had one wish for our team and for my basketball career here at Kansas State, it would be to improve every time I take the court, and to give everything I have on the inside every day. Point guard, off guard, even center — whatever it takes for us to win, I ' m willing to try.

Although K-State had some great individual performers, Rovelto said there had not been many teams better than the 1998 Wildcats. I think the men ' s team is probably the best team we ' ve ever had, Rovelto said. When you talk about a true dual meet, in my mind, both our teams are truly top 10 teams in the country. The women ' s team was led by two weight thrower Renetta Seiler, and triple Vanitta Kinard. On Jan. 16 in the Wildcat Invitational, Seiler heaved the weight 67 feet, 9 inches — an automatic qualifying throw for the NCAA Indoor Championships. The throw also broke her own K-State and Ahearn Field House records. When the Wildcats participated in the ninth annual K-State-Kansas-Missouri Triangular Jan. 31 in Columbia, Mo., disaster struck. The Triangular ' s traveling trophy, which went with the meet ' s had rested in K-State ' s trophy case for seven of the eight years of the meet ' s existence. However, the men ' s and women ' s combined score could only muster a second-place finish behind Missouri. I don ' t want to take anything away from They don ' t really have that much talent, but they did what they had to do to win, Rovelto said. In the overall scheme of things, all it really means is that we don ' t have the jug sitting in the trophy case this year. Kinard had one of the few exceptional marks in the Triangular. She leaped 43 feet, 2-1 4 inches — a Hearnes Center record and an automatic qualifying mark for the NCAA Indoor Championships. To me, that really wasn ' t good, Kinard said. I wouldn ' t say that it was a bad meet, either, but I ' m used to having that kind of jump. Unlike the women ' s team, which was led by two accomplished veterans, the men ' s team was paced by leapers who were new to the scene. Charles Burney and Nathan Leeper arrived in Manhattan with national championships under their belts. Burney was the 1995 NJCAA indoor champion, and Leeper was the 1997 NJCAA indoor and outdoor champion. Burney cleared the automatic qualifying mark of 7 feet, 4-1 2 inches three times before the Big 12 Indoor Championships while having one of the top three spots on the national list of collegiate jumpers for the entire season. Leeper soared over the provisional qualifying mark one time and remained in one of the top four spots of collegiate jumpers the entire season. On Feb. 19 at the KSU Invitational, the high jump field was stacked with Burney, Leeper, Ed Broxterman — an Olympian with a career best leap of 7 feet, 6-1 2 inches — and two-time Itai Margalit. K-State sophomore Attila Zsivoczky, a multievent athlete, who had a career best leap of 7 feet, 3-1 4 inch, had two for the gold —the crossbar at 7 feet, 5 and his teammate Leeper. Leeper cleared the bar at 7 feet, 2 inches and passed on the next height before attempting 7 feet, 5 inches. His risk failed to pay off, and he missed all three final Leeper finished in second place, Margalit finished third, and finished fourth; all cleared 7 feet, 2-1 2 inches. Broxterman only managed fifth place with a jump of 6 feet, 10-3 4 inches. Zsivoczky said he needed to compete well at the KSU Invitational in order to qualify for the NCAA Championships. I was focusing on this meet, and it just happened, Zsivoczky said. I still made mistakes, but usually I ' m worse. indoor track by joel white • Junior Emily Diederich captured a Big 12 Indoor Championship gold medal in the 800-meter run with a conference record time of 2:07:18. • Senior Vanitta Kinard set an Ahearn Field House record in the triple jump with a leap of 43 feet, 3-3 4 inches at the Wildcat Invitational. • Sophomore Attila Zsivoczky scored 5,786 points in the heptathlon, which bettered the Big 12 record by 135 points to win the conference championship. • Junior Charles Burney cleared 7 feet, 4-1 2 inches, an NCAA automatic qualifying mark, in the high jump to win the gold medal at the Husker Invitational. indoor track.297 In Ahearn Field House, Fritz throwing techniques with his athletes. collegiate athletes were Fritz ' s (Photo by Jeff Cooper) As an athlete practice s shot put, Steve Fritz observes.

It was a skill he acquired dealing with 21 student athletes, instructing two post-collegiate athletes, training four hours, coaching four hours and practicing 10 events each day. It was difficult. It felt like he was trying to be 20 differen t people at once. But for Fritz, an Olympic decathlete and assistant track and field coach, it was something he would not give up. If I didn ' t enjoy competing and if I didn ' t enjoy coaching, it probably wouldn ' t be worth it, Fritz said, but I ' m in a situation where I happen to like both things I ' m doing. In the mornings, Fritz lifted weights, while early afternoons were spent in his cluttered office. During late afternoons, he coached the throwers and completed his own — running, jumping and throwing. His office in Ahearn Field House indicated how competing and coaching often blurred. The room was cluttered with throwing implements, shoes, energy bars, tape measures, athletic tape, pictures and stacks of paperwork — Fritz ' s least favorite aspect of coaching. Most people get into coaching to work with people, he said. They don ' t do it for any other reason. The paperwork and the recruiting, that ' s just stuff you have to do. Fritz was not most people, though, as he began coaching in an unusual way. Coaching changes left the team without a throws coach in January 1993. Cliff Rovelto, who was interim coach and later became head coach, called on Fritz, then a full-time student, to fill the vacancy. I hadn ' t really given coaching much thought until he asked, Fritz said. I just kind of fell into it. Adjusting to his new life as coach was at first. That first semester I was taking classes full time, training and trying to learn how to Fritz said. So it was kind of a blur. For a man who focused intensely on 10 events as a decathlete, he said he was able to focus and call on his natural coaching abilities. He ' s a motivational coach, Anna Whitham, junior thrower, said, and he ' s an athlete, too, so he can relate to us better. Rovelto, who continued to coach Fri tz, said the fact Fritz was an athlete struggling with throws himself helped his coaching skills. Because Steve is a decathlete, he had a better appreciation for how difficult it was to learn the throws, Rovelto said. The fact he had to pay attention to the details of the technique of throwing in order to coach helped him in his own performance. During his first year as coach, there were six full-time throwers. In 1997, he coached 21 undergraduates and two post-collegiate athletes. It ' s not like a normal job where you go home and forget about it, Fritz said. If someone ' s not throwing well or if someone ' s struggling, you ' re going to think about it. Fritz said it was hard to separate his career and personal life when the two intertwined. Disappointment and triumph were always a possibility, but the challenge kept him going. With his mind set on the 2000 Olympics, Fritz said he planned to continue training and coaching in the never-ending cycle of collegiate track and field. Every year you have to recruit someone else, and you ' re never set for more than a year or maybe two years at a time, he said. You ' re always trying to reload. For someone who juggled like Steve Fritz for someone who did not mind but enjoyed the juggling act — perhaps it was not so bad.

The Wildcats ' 3-2 victory was their ninth in the Big 12 and increased their season record to 18-7. (Photo by Brandon White) KANSAS STATE VOLLEYBALL 300 A second straight tournament appearance and nine returning players increase hopes for 1998 though both teams ' NCAA Tournament jerseys read K-State, the 1996 and 1997 volleyball teams were different. The 1996 squad was the first in school history to reach the NCAA Tournament, but absent from the team in 1997 were Kelli Luther, starters Kate Abbie Brown and Toie Young, and head coach Jim Moore. Despite their absences, the team again reached the NCAA Tournament, losing 3-1 to San Diego in the first round and ending the season with a 20-13 record. Our goal at the beginning of the year was to make the NCAA Tournament and we made it, so the year was successful, first-year head coach Jim McLaughlin said. McLaughlin came to K-State with a shining In his first year as men ' s head coach at the University of Southern California, he won a national championship. In his second year, he led USC to a 34-2 record before losing in the finals of the NCAA Tournament. Two newcomers to the program, freshman blocker Kelle Branting and junior right-side hitter Alexis Shepherd — a transfer from Barton County Community College — stepped in and immediately. Sophomore outside hitter Dawn Cady filled the Wildcats ' last starting spot. This year was a good year, McLaughlin sa id. The standards we set, we met most of them. We were a much better team at the end of the year than we were when we started the season, and that ' s a credit to the girls. The Wildcats won seven of their first eight matches, including the Boise State Tournament. entered Big 12 Conference play with an 8-3 record, but lost their first two conference matches. After a victory over intrastate rival Kansas, the Wildcats lost a close 3-2 match to Oklahoma and fell to 1-3 in conference play and 9-6 on the season. Both matches against Oklahoma went five games, with the Wildcats on the losing end. The tough matches took a toll on the team. It ' s so emotionally draining and mentally draining to work that hard and not get it in the end, senior setter Devon Ryning said. The team recovered, and K-State won six straight matches and lost only one game during the stretch. After losing to Texas, the Wildcats won three straight matches and improved to 18-7 and in the Big 12. Among those matches was an Ahearn Field House showdown with then-No. 12 Texas A M. K-State handed the Aggies their worst loss in seven years, 15-6, 15-2, 15-2. The Wildcats held Texas A M to a negative .031 attack percentage for the match, recording 13 blocks and 35 digs. Six Aggies had attack Despite the Aggies ' high rank, the Wildcats were confident and calm the match. Before the game started, we were all feeling very steady, no nerves, junior middle blocker Val Wieck said. McLaughlin said the win was great for the team ' s confidence. It was the most significant win (of the season), McLaughlin said. We played extremely well, but we put so much pressure on them that they kind of folded. Everything was going right for us and everything was going wrong for them and we just smoked them. Although K-State lost five consecutive matches near the end of the season, including four against nationally-ranked teams, it rallied to win its two final matches and finished the Big 12 season at 11-9 and received an invitation to the NCAA tournament — one of six conference teams to be invited. (Continued on page 302) volleyball.301 • Val Wieck ' s 142 block assists were the second highest season total in school history. • Kim Zschau became the third Wildcat to record 1,000 career digs with 14 against Oklahoma Nov. 7. • Devon Ryning became second in career service aces with 169, including four at South Carolina Sept. 20. • The Wildcats played four of their final six matches on the road against teams that hosted the Tournament. vollleyball by dan merker Continuing to grow (Continued from page 301) Only two seniors, defensive specialist Val Phillips and Ryning, played their final matches for Ryning ended her Wildcat career as the No. 1 setter in school history, tallying 5,206 assists. Ryning ' s 1,468 assists during the season took third to her two previous marks set in 1995 and 1996. She was the third player from any Big 12 school to record over 5,000 assists. Ryning recorded her 5,000th assist Nov. 15 against Colorado, during K-State ' s late five-match losing streak, but the achievement was downplayed because of the loss. It means not very much, Ryning said. If we were winning and this happened, I think I ' d be saying it ' s a great achievement. I ' d rather win than get a 5,000th assist. McLaughlin said Ryning would be missed at K-State. She helped put this program on the map, McLaughlin said. Every once in a while you get a special person who makes a real significant effect, and Devon ' s that person. Despite losing Ryning and Phillips, McLaughlin hoped the program would continue to progress. The Wildcat 1998 line-up would feature nine returning players and five of six starters. I feel like we can up some of the standards and we can shoot higher next year, McLaughlin said. I sure like the people coming back and I like our recruiting class, he said. I think they complement each other. big 12 record: 11-9 volleyball overall record: 20-13 Season Results vs .

Team USA swept the Wildcats in three straight matches 15-4, 16-14, Despite a tough week with losses to Colorado, Nebraska and the USA National Team, K-State went on to win 10 of its following 12 matches, including nine victories against Big 12 opponents.

(Photo by Ivan Kozar) Minutes after K-State folded in three straight sets to the USA Women ' s National Volleyball Team Sept. 29, junior middle blocker Val Wieck stood behind her team ' s bench and wiped her brow. The scoreboard inside Ahearn Field House read 15-4, 16-14, 15-5. Victorious Team USA players signed autographs in front of their locker room. While Wieck and her teammates appeared tired, her fiery eyes suggested she could have gone three more sets. I think tonight kind of pushes you to see how far you can go, she said. Look at the second set; we can keep up. I think we need to carry this into the games next week. It was evident coach Jim McLaughlin ' s plan worked. Even before K-State dropped two straight matches at home — 1-3 losses against both Colorado and Nebraska — McLaughlin agreed to play Team USA in its first stop of a nine-game domestic exhibition tour. McLaughlin knew his team would reek of fatigue with just a single day of rest before traveling the following week to face arch-rival Kansas. But trying to match the intensity of the nation ' s best would be an added bonus for the Wildcats — if they didn ' t collapse first. I don ' t want them to set standards to Texas or Nebraska but to our USA women, who are the best in the whole country, McLaughlin said. Not every team in the country is going to be able to do it. Team USA members transformed Ahearn ' s appearance into that of an Olympic event by covering the purple court with their own red, white and blue floor. It ' s kind of neat, McLaughin said. I like the red, white and blue. It ' s softer on the girls ' legs. But you know what? We actually like the Wildcat floor better. However, with 1,500 Wildcat fans, TV cameras capturing the game for a Kansas City audience and the scoreboard displaying, ' Cats vs. USA, ' K-State players entered the match awestruck. That was the worst warm-up we ' ve had all year, McLaughlin said. Team USA ' s explosiveness proved fatal to the Wildcats during the 15-4 rout in the first game. The tempo is a lot quicker, that ' s for sure, Wieck said. They picked up a lot o f balls you thought were down. But K-State regained composure in a heated second game and matched USA ' s fast-paced attack. K-State hit .306 with 22 kills and seven errors and, at one point, led 7-4 and then 11-10. After tying at 13-all, USA outlasted the Wildcats, 16-14. I think when you play fast-paced volleyball like Jim (McLaughlin) was playing tonight, when you ' re hot, you just destroy people, USA coach Mick Haley said. When you can ' t, 3-0, 3-0. McLaughlin cleared the bench in the third game and gave everybody a shot at Team USA. Although K-State had a 3-1 lead, USA defeated the Wildcats, 15-5 amid standing ovations. I think the way they ' re starting to do business here, this will be one of the top 10 programs in the country that kids will come to, Haley said. The introductions, the atmosphere, the electricity this is why it is exciting. Wieck stood behind K-State ' s bench and dabbed the back of her neck with a towel. You just have to get used to the pace, she said. I ' m glad we had it early in the Big 12. I think this weekend and tonight were good for us.

During the year, Alpha of Clovia members volunteered at Mercy Health Center ' s gift shop from 4:30-7:30 p.m. on Mondays and Tuesdays. They worked at the cash register when people made purchases and counted down the drawer at the end of each shift. Sherry Wheeler, director of volunteers at the hospital, approached Michele Jantzen, sophomore in elementary education, at the beginning of the school year and asked if Clovia members were interested in volunteering in the gift shop. I brought it up at a full-member meeting on Wednesday night, and we voted to do it, Jantzen said. I made a sign-up sheet, so girls could go when they had a chance. Some went a lot, and others didn ' t because they had classes or other activities. The invitation to volunteer was a compliment for Clovia members, Jennifer Stoffer, sophomore in agribusiness, said. (She asked us) because Clovia has a good reputation for having responsible girls, Stoffer said. They knew we wouldn ' t miss our times. We have a good reputation for performing good duties. It ' s a big compliment for us. The dependability of the members reflected well on the house, Amy Marks, senior in animal science, said. It gives the volunteer coordinator at the hospital a good impression of our house, Marks said. We ' re willing to do it, do it consistently and always have someone there. While they volunteered, Clovia members could study and do homework because the gift shop usually did not have customers come in all the time during their shifts. The gift shop was not extremely busy, so I got a lot of homework accomplished, even though I worked there, Jantzen said. If you manage your time well, six hours a week is nothing terrible. Besides working in the gift shop, Clovia members also delivered mail to patients. I enjoy the fact that we get to help with a good cause, Stoffer said. It ' s nice to bring happiness to people by bringing them their mail. Volunteers had opportunities to socialize while volunteering, Jantzen said. I liked visiting with people, finding out who had a baby and what it was, Jantzen said, and I enjoyed looking at the new items that came in every week. Members wore name tags that said they were from Clovia, which helped get the house ' s name out into the community, Jantzen said. It helps get our name out to become part of the community rather than just being another sorority, she said. It shows we are and determined girls. Volunteering taught members the importance of helping others. It makes people aware there are other things out there — things other than money, Jantzen said. It gives people a different attitude about doing things for others by being out in the public and giving your time to the public. It shows them they can give time to others. Since working at the hospital was a positive experience, Marks said she wanted to keep volunteering. I got excited about volunteering, she said. I ' ve been looking into other volunteering positions. I felt good about doing something for someone else. 308.alpha of clovia cooperative house of clovia Fritzemeier, Dana ..... .......... ..................... Stafford, Kan.

Physics SR ultimate frisbee provides dinner talk by leslie elsasser smith Scholarship House members used their ultimate Frisbee playing tradition to place second in a tournament. In the fall, Smith members placed second in Acacia ' s first ultimate Frisbee philanthropy. Because the sport had become a tradition for the house, the team was not surprised by their performance, Cory Pfeifer, senior in biochemistry, said. We entered because the guys played ultimate so much we figured we ' d be competitive, he said. We only lost to the club team. Members played the sport for years without knowing how the tradition started, William Klassen, junior in electrical engineering, said. It ' s been the unofficial house sport for years, Klassen said. It ' s been around longer than the guys in the house. Reasons for playing ultimate Frisbee varied, Mike Unger, senior in chemical engineering, said. It ' s unique and different from most sports, he said. It ' s fast paced and competitive. Most have never played when they come in, so they start from ground zero. New members were introduced to the sport during the summer when the house members first met. In July, we get together, and the new men meet the old men, Unger said. Then old men play the new men. The old men usually destroy the new men because they ' ve never played. The game consisted of two teams trying to score points by throwing the Frisbee into the opposite team ' s end zone. The team that reached 10 points first won the game. Ultimate Frisbee could be an exhausting workout for members, but that did not bother Unger, he said. It ' s the same feeling as after you go running, Unger said. You get an endorphin rush. It feels good. It ' s a bonding experience for guys. It brings us together. How often members played depended on the weather, Unger said. If it ' s cold, we ' ll play one game a week, he said. We ' ll play two to three at the beginning of the semester. There ' s no structure. Guys walk around the house and ask if people want to play. For every game, new teams — composed of approximately seven players — were chosen. Members knew the abilities of other players, Unger said. We choose captains, and they choose players, he said. It ' s the same thing as you did in second grade. Playing ultimate Frisbee helped members bond because it gave them something in common, Pfeifer said. The game uses teamwork, which is applicable to other house functions, he said. We have a common sport, so it makes a dinner conversation a real possibility. The sport also kept members in shape while offering other benefits, Pfeifer said. It relieves stress because it ' s like running and allows your system to forget about school and what not, he said. That ' s a benefit for me. It ' s a chance to compete with other guys. If you ' re angry with your roommate, you can burn him on the field. The game uses teamwork, which is applicable to other house functions.

Jodi Thomas, sophomore in mass communications, said it was important for the HGB to show a nontraditional side of the toga party. Traditionally it is thought of as a drinking party, she said. We didn ' t think that way at all. We viewed it as a good time to dress up, have fun and be silly.

Derby Complex revived the toga party after the Sept. 27 football game against Bowling Green on the complex ' s basketball court. It provided students with an opportunity to dance, converse and meet other students in a different environment. For those of us barricaded in all female or male halls, it gives us the opportunity to meet people of the opposite sex, Richard Smith, freshman in architecture, said. It was fun and something interesting to do that is different than what you do every other weekend. Jodi Thomas, Ford Hall president and sophomore in mass communications, said Hall Governing Board members decided to revive the event after seeing pictures of past toga parties. The party offered students refreshments and a chance to win prizes, like K-State football T-shirts and gift certificates to the Bakery in Derby Food Center and the K-State Student Union Bookstore. HGB members viewed the party as a chance to prove it was not necessary to consume alcohol to have a good time. It is important for Hall Governing Boards to offer events that are alcohol free. Just because you are in college doesn ' t mean you have to attend parties with alcohol. There are a lot of alternatives, Thomas said. The residence halls are trying to show students you can have a good time without alcohol. Todd Clark, Haymaker Hall resident life coordinator, said he supported the HGB ' s non-alco holic activities. I ' m really impressed with their ideas to get students involved with each other, Clark said. This is one activity we can have on a Saturday night after a football game that provides an alternative to alcohol. Social events, such as the toga party, were important to build a strong community within the residence halls, Thomas said. I think it is really important to live in a community such as the halls or greek system. It is very important for residents to get involved where they live because then you are a part of a community, Thomas said. When you get involved, your community becomes stronger. If we get more people involved, we (the residence halls) can become stronger. Clark agreed that students benefited by attending events and being involved. If you are involved in campus, it ' s more likely you will graduate and do better in classes, Clark said. Although the turnout of about 40 people at the party was not what HGB members hoped for, Thomas said she was satisfied with those who did attend. I think the turnout was poor because it wasn ' t publicized well, Thomas said. The people there had a good time, and if those people went away and told people they had a good time, then I think it will increase attendance at future residence halls ' functions. Over the course of the year, HGB members coordinated various non -alcoholic activities such as Winter Ball and Spring Fling for the residence halls. In addition to those activities, each hall had their own activities, including movie nights or bowling parties. The activities planned by HGB were meant to include all residents and enhance the community spirit within the halls, Thomas said. Having non-alcoholic parties is the way they (residents) want it to be, Jeremy Warren, Haymaker president and freshman in sociology, said. We ' re using more energy in a positive way. I ' m hopeful that parties like the toga and others can continue to build on that.

The attire of an M M fairy was designed to make people laugh, Lynette Abitz, junior in journalism and mass communications, said. Some of the girls in the house, they get all this makeup on and put on a funny outfit and are asked to go to residence halls, fraternities or sororities, Abitz said It ' s a cheering up sort of thing. They always carry a basket of M Ms. The fairies did have a dress code, though a strange one, Schultz said. Each of us wears a tutu skirt that ' s made of this really light fabric wrapped around our waist, she said. We wear pink tights and different kinds of jewelry, and we put makeup in strange shapes on our face, and we always have to wear something that says ' Smurthwaite ' on it. The house restarted the tradition on a smaller scale at first, but that soon changed, Schultz said. They tapped, or selected, two people to be M M fairies in the beginning, Schultz said. Now we always have seven at one time. One of the two people tapped in 1995 was Rebecca Bohne, senior in interior architecture, who said the fairy tradition began as a way to cheer up the community. It was originally started as community service, she said. They used to go out to the schools, fraternities and sororities for study breaks. It really got a lot of use during finals week when people just needed study breaks, fun and stress release. The fairies were an inexpensive way to cheer someone up, Bohne said. We ' ve never turned away anyone, and it ' s completely free, she said. The house pays for the M Ms out of our budget, so we just go around, and it ' s really a lot of fun. It was a service the house wanted more people to be know about, Bohne said. This is something we ' re really pushing this year, that it gets done a lot, she said. We have business cards, and we go to HGBs or fraternities and sororities and hand them out. Then people will call us from that, and that ' s usually how we get around. Fairies leaving the house selected new members to replace them, Bohne said. We pass it on to whoever we feel is willing to do it, and if you tap someone who doesn ' t want to be an M M fairy, they ' re supposed to go out the one time, and then they can tap someone new. she said. We had a bunch of people graduate at semester or get married, so we had a big turn over. With her upcoming May 1998 graduation, Bohne had to say goodbye to the tradition she helped restart, and said she would miss the quick preparation for visits. I ' ll miss getting ready, because the usual plan is there ' s only one person who knows about it, and she gives them 20 minutes to get ready for it, she said. Everyone in the house knows you ' re about ready to leave, so they ' re all helping you, and there ' s just a great spirit of camaraderie. house scholarship houses smurthwaite house Gronniger, Alisha Manhattan Business Administration SO Harrison, Nikki Colby, Kan.

Agricultural Economics FR new blood provides fresh ideas by rochelle steele inexperienced residents proved to be the transfusion Boyd Hall needed. With only two Hall Governing Board veterans, new members provided a different outlook and fresh ideas. I think it helped that we got a lot of new people in there, and we all had a lot of new ideas, Tara Bell, Strong Complex representative and junior in psychology, said. It was good to get fresh blood in there. The decline in returning members was due to graduations and the commitment required, Ginger West, Boyd president and sophomore in elementary education, said. It ' s really draining sometimes, she said. We really do get down to the heart of things and try to come up with ways to get people actively participating. It can take a lot out of you. The high turnover gave new members an opportunity to start on equal ground, Bell, a new member, said. I think with almost all of us being new we all have a better chance to voice our opinions, Bell said. It didn ' t matter what position we were, everybody got heard, and everybody had an equal voice. Everyone had their own views but worked together to reach the goal of increased resident involvement, Kari Bowman, sophomore in kinesiology, said. We were all on the same wavelength, she said. We had the same goal to get everyone involved. Boyd residents ' low participation in hall and complex events was a problem in past years, West said. HGB, in the past, had a hard time pulling together with other halls and letting others know we are interested in activities, West said. Boyd Hall was known as being kind of snooty because supposedly, before last year, we didn ' t step out and do much. The HGB members tried to alleviate that problem by setting a positive example of involvement. The girls on HGB were much more encouraging as far as getting out there and trying to get other girls to participate and take notice, West said. They liked to participate in these things, so it was easier for them to go recruit people or let them know about events. One event that brought increased participation was Mother ' s Weekend. More than 25 mother-daughter pairs turned out Dec. 5-7 for T-shirt making, brunch and a performance of The Nutcracker. Through Mother ' s Weekend and Homecoming, we really gained participation, Ashley Dooley, freshman in business administration, said. We had equal numbers of other hal ls in Strong Complex, if not more. Penny Wars, a competition between residents, drew Boyd participants and raised money for general hall expenses and new exercise equipment, West said. We set up these plastic jars for each floor and pennies added points to the score, but silver coins or dollars put in other people ' s jars subtracted points, she said. That was a good, friendly competition, and a lot of girls got into that. The residents ' increased interest rewarded the work of HGB members, West said. There ' s quite a bigger group of girls interested in different activities, she said. They don ' t all do all of it, but at least now some will come here and there. hall residence halls boyd hall Burrell, Jamie Topeka Animal Science Cheek, Laura............ ........... .......... Ft.

Resident assistants campus-wide increased their involvement in the scholastic lives of residents, and Ford took that idea a step beyond. Resident assistants created the Ford Academic Counseling Team to provide residents with in-hall tutoring from other students who excelled in the subject. Stacey Lyson, RA and sophomore in English, said the turn-out wasn ' t as high as expected, however. The original plan was to have a tutoring program, she said. We got a great response from some floors, but nothing from others. I kind of wanted to have it spread out evenly between floors. The lack of interest in the tutoring program was due to the newness of the university experience for residents, Lyson said. We got a low response, but when people are new to the university, like most of our residents were, they are thinking about other diversions, Lyson said. It ' s unfortun ate since academics is the reason for being here, but that ' s what happens. The hall also implemented an academic intervention program. The deans of colleges talked to the hall coordinator when a resident was having trouble, Lyson said. Then, the coordinator would get ahold of us, and we would talk to them about what the problem was. We tried to work out a plan for study and time management skills. Since Ford residents were primarily freshmen and first-year students, Colleen Rinkleff, RA and senior in elementary education, said the program helped the transition process from high school to college. A lot of people in the halls are first-year students, she said. They don ' t realize how college is different than high school. It helps them to have people who have already been through it to talk to. Discussing grades and classes helped residents find out what they could handle academically and set realistic goals, Christy Franklin, RA and junior in management information systems, said. It helped residents with what class to take or the limit of hours they could handle. Some decided to change majors because they found out it wasn ' t really what they wanted to do, she said. If residents are unsure of themselves or what they want to do, they might jump into something they ' re not ready for. This helps them through those obstacles. The program also benefited RA-resident relations, Rinkleff said. It helped residents feel they had people to go to, she said. The residents were glad we took an interest in what they were doing and that someone cared. 318.ford hall residence halls ford hall Dowlin, Amber... ................ ......... ..............

Information Systems JU relieving the stress of moving day by rochelle steele the breeze of boxes, carts and people was typical for the fall opening of Goodnow Hall, but a time crunch caused a tornado. With the loss of fee payments, the residence halls did not open until two days before the start of fall classes. Goodnow staff members tried to alleviate some of the fall-out by asking returning residents to help incoming residents move in Aug. 25. We got some information, and whoever wanted to volunteer would send back that information and a little application, Nathan Deines, sophomore in computer engineering, said. I wanted to see what it would be like to help the people, and I wanted to move in a little earlier. The opportunity to move in earlier was a big incentive to help, Joe Plantiko, HGB member and sophomore in marketing information systems, said. Before everyone went home for the summer, we asked for volunteers. We said, ' Hey, you can come in a day before, ' he said. I think that encouraged a lot of upperclassmen who didn ' t want to go through moving in on the same day as the new people again. Volunteers arrived the night before to make preparations. We went over what we wanted to do and signed up for positions, Deines said. There were two positions. We could either work at a table where we gave them their room ID, or we could help move in—be movers, pretty much. More than half of the 477 residents moved in between 8 a.m. and 4 p.m., which led to a , Mike Pfannenstiel, hall president and junior in pre-medicine, said. The main problem was keeping the floors clear. That, and getting carts and elevators, he said. A lot of people started using the stairs so the elevators moved a lot more smoothly. The lo ss of three days of move-in time also caused problems, Deines said. It was a big rush for everybody, he said. You had to move in, get your books and get situated. It just seemed like it was so short and not enough time, overall. Having a structured move-in relieved some stress for new residents, Plantiko said. It made things tremendously easier, he said. I had heard horror stories before coming to K-State about moving in to the reside nce halls, so I wasn ' t looking forward to moving in when I was a freshman at all. Deines said the hard work paid off because he knew the residents were thankful for the help. I think quite a few of the residents appreciated it, he said. It kind of took the stress out, and having people to help you move in makes it easier and not as tiring. I had heard horror stories before coming to K-State about moving into the residence halls, so I wasn ' t looking forward to moving in when I was a freshman at all.

I got pie in my ear, Trent Benisch, RA and junior in chemical engineering, said. For a second, I couldn ' t hear anything, so I had to use my finger to clean it out. Haymaker Hall hosted a pie throw that benefited AIDS patients in need of nutritional supplements. The throw took place Dec. 1 in the Derby Food Center C and D lines from 5 to 6 The RAs really wanted to undertake a community service project, and the Ensure Drive for AIDS Awareness really sparked their interest, Brent Marsh assistant coordinator of Haymaker and graduate student in student counseling personal services, said. The pie throw is an old idea we ' ve used for several other benefits, but it worked well. We raised some money and had a good time. The community service and hall governing function event coincided with National AIDS Awareness Week on campus. It was a really good way to get people involved, Benisch said. At first you thought, ' This is going to hurt. ' Then the first pie hit me square in the face, and it wasn ' t so bad. Besides, it was worth it because it was for a worthwhile cause. The benefit ' s proceeds, $63, went to replenish Lafene Health Center ' s stock of the nutritional supplement drink Ensure, which many AIDS patients required. We were really pleased with the money we made from it, Samm Erickson, RA and senior in English, said. I think everyone was glad for the opportunity to throw a pie at us. Many residents were pleased with the opportunity and the $1 cost, Rich Smith, freshman in environmental design, said. It ' s a very empowering feeling, Smith said. I tossed a pie at Brent Strothman, but since I didn ' t really have anything against him, it wasn ' t like a big catharsis or anything. It was kind of fun though. It was a mess, Chad Lindsley, RA and sophomore in secondary education, said. It was just horrible, the pies were sticky, and they smelled, he said. I ' m not sure how you describe the smell, but it stunk. They were sticky, too. It made your hair hard. Derby ' s walls and floors were covered with plastic for protection, Lindsley said. It took about an hour to clean up the cafeteria, he said. Then when I got home, it took about an hour to clean the pie off of me. At first you thought, ' This is going to hurt.

The shorts were raised by Marlatt Hall resident assistants to break the game-day monotony of KSU Stadium ' s east parking lot. The flag symbolized the first year of the residence hall tailgate parties before home football games, Don Greer, RA and senior in accounting, said. We flew a great big, old pair of green boxer shorts, Greer said. I figured I had a pair of green boxer shorts, so we might as well fly them to make it different and so people could tell where we were. Marlatt Hall coordinated the tailgate parties, Greer said. We started the tailgate parties with the help of ARH for the first couple of games, Greer said. Then we separated, and everything was set up by Marlatt Hall residents for everybody else in the residence hall system. The tailgate parties came out of need and not just fun for the 30 to 80 residents who took advantage of the pre-game activity, Greer said. The hours in the dining center are set up, that on game day it ' s hard to get a good meal and still get up to get a good seat, Greer said. Our plan was to provide an opportunity for residents to come and eat on their meal plans before the games. Food was paid for by resident ' s individual meal plans, Brian Glick, sophomore in prejournalism and mass communications, said. You had to sign up beforehand, Glick said. It worked very simply. On that Saturday, your meal ticket was shut off in the dining center, so you had to eat at the tailgate party. We checked you off on our list when you showed up. The dining centers were beneficial in the continuance of the tailgate parties, Glick said. For an idea that came out of the blue, everything went really well, Glick said. The dining centers donated the food, so we did not have to pay money to execute the idea. John Eddy, sophomore in business administration, said the tailgate parties provided an opportunity to bring students together. In my opinion, it provided unity between the residence halls, Eddy said. It kind of makes a point for the halls saying ' We ' re here. We ' re trying to do something. ' We aren ' t exactly trying to be like the greeks or anything, but we ' re trying to do something also. The tailgate parties were set in place to become a residence hall tradition, Greer said. This is our first year, and we are hoping to make it a tradition and grow it into something bigger, he said. We basically want to make it a thing where residents can come and hang out together. We basically want to make it a thing where residents can come and hang out together.

FR Barge, Becky Olathe, Kan. Elementary Education SO residents shoot with water pistols by erik buehler best friends shot each other in the back. Moore Hall residents could take out their frustrations by shooting each other with water pistols when Regina Tirella, assistant resident life coordinator, organized an assassination game called Gotcha. You register, you pay $2 to play, and we take your picture, and you fill out a profile of yourself, she said. The next Monday, we had everybody come to the front desk and pick up the profile of the person they were going to be killing with a water gun. Only one person could witness the kill, she said. Once you kill someone, you take the profile of the person that person is after and try to kill that person. Eventually there should be only one person left in the building. Termination usually came when it was least expected. 1 wasn ' t paying attention to what I was doing, Renee Fisher, senior in mass communication, said. I was actually in the lobby where there was a lot of traffic and a lot of people. Another RA had me as a target. He just pulled me aside and asked me if he could talk to me about something that was going on in school. He had his water gun and assassinated me. The game, which started Sept. 29, was a tremendous success, Adam Lagree, president and junior in social science, said. It was quite a contest. It was the talk of the hall for quite a while, he said. A lot of people, like myself, regretted not participating in the event. Adaryl Wakefield, sophomore in computer science, enjoyed sneaking up on unsuspecting victims and shooting them from behind, he said. One was a friend of mine, Wakefield said. We went to high school together. He was my very first kill. His door was standing wide open. I just walked into his room and shot two shots right in his back. Two days later, I came by, and there was a sign on his door, he said. It said, ' Wolf was killed by his best friend. He shot me in the back. ' The game stretched on at a standstill for weeks because people went into hiding. To speed up the game, the rules were changed to allow two people to witness the murders. That wasn ' t enough, and they ended the game before Thanksgiving break. It got to a point where there were about four or five people left in the game because all the smart people were locked up in their rooms all day, Wakefield said. We couldn ' t get each other because the people on both ends were locked up. It came down to the winner being chosen by the one who had the most kills. The originality of the event helped in its success, Tirella said. I think it was such a new idea, and they had never seen anything like it, she said. I think they liked the idea of hunting somebody down. More than 60 people participated in the event, and $120 was raised. The money was used to sponsor a Moore Academic Council social. The council, later on in the semester, sponsored a social in the hall for deans and faculty members to come and meet residents and see where residents live, Fisher said. The people who came really enjoyed themselves. We had residents show them their rooms so they could better understand their students and see what they do to spend their time outside of the classroom. 332.moore hall residence halls Barkmeier, Kara Dakota City, Neb.

Computer Science FR residents share road-trip experiences by erik buehler putnam Hall residents bonded through a haunting experience. Residents drove to Kansas City, Mo., Oct. 25 for their first haunted house trip. Christina Elliot, junior in chemical engineering, organized the event by posting flyers and sign-up sheets to generate enough interest to take the trip. Twenty people turned out for the trip, which provided a brief stress reliever, she said. We had quite a few people sign up, Trisha Hudkins, hall president and senior in accounting, said. They had a pretty good time. It was at the beginning of the year and also during a time when people could use a get away. After arriving in Kansas City, the group headed straight for the haunted houses. Wildcat spirit provided common ground on which base the rest of the trip. All the people in our group were going up this staircase, Megan Scheidt, sophomore in mass communication, said. We all started screaming, ' Go cats. ' One of the guys stood up and started doing the cheers that Willie the Wildcat does. He had the whole house going. Elliot said the trip offered a new experience to residents and allowed them to see houses they had not been to. Some people had never been to any of them, she said. Some of us had gone back in middle school and high school, so everybody had a really good time. Attendees saved $12 by purchasing $18 tickets that provided entry into two houses. We went to the Edge of Hell and the Beast, Elliot said. We bought the combo ticket because that was another concern, how much money people wanted to spend. To save additional money, the group split up and slept at the homes of group members who lived in Kansas City. Not staying in hotel rooms saved them an additional $15 each, Elliot said. Scheidt said the trip attracted people who weren ' t usually active within Putnam. There were a lot of people who I didn ' t know on the trip, she said. It wasn ' t just the same people who always do everything. The social aspect provided the greatest benefit of the trip. It allowed residents to meet new people and learn more about the ones who lived right next door, Scheidt said. With any social program our hall does, it seems to get people out and get them more involved, she said. It helps them learn who their neighbors are.

Chemical Engineering FR video game tournament raises funds by barbara hollingsworth super Mario Kart racers, set on winning the pool of money, grasped controllers in Van Zile Hall, while the Hall Governing Board raised money. Late fall semester, HGB members said they came up with the idea of having a Super Mario Kart Racing tournament on Super Nintendo to raise money for hall activities. Towards the end of the semester we decided that we ' d like to do more things and pay for them rather than asking the residents to pay for it, Carrie Condry, co-social chair and senior in interior design, said. Part of it comes from looking at the balance sheet and saying, ' Ughh. Where did all the money go? Without fund raising, HGB would have left their predecessors with a difficult financial situation, Andrew Pesci, hall president and senior in secondary education, said. We realized we would be without any money at the end of the spring semester, and we didn ' t want the incoming HGB to face a financial problem, Pesci said. It ' s basically just so we have money for the next HGB. We don ' t have much money if we need supplies. Activities and extra expenses depleted the hall ' s budget earlier than expected, Condry said. We had to buy new vacuum cleaners because the vacuums just went out, she said. Homecoming was really big. Homecoming just ate up our money, so that ' s why we decided to do a fund-raiser just for us. While the initial fund-raising plan changed, it always involved using a video game. It sprang off of doing something with a football game, Pesci said. We decided it would be better to involve more people with an easier game like Mario Kart Racing. The HGB also planned to involve more students through creating different competition levels. Everybody could write in whether they were a novice or a pro, and we ' ll set up a competition where the person who can complete the level in the least amount of time will win a pool, Michelle Hinrikus, Van Zile social chair and senior in elementary education, said. It will kind of be like a round-robin tournament. HGB planned to charge $1 for competition entries, Pesci said. Half that money would be split between the two winners, and the remaining money would go to the hall. Through borrowing games and Super Nintendos from residents and using televisions in Van Zile ' s, HGB planned to raise about $100 at the spring semester event, Pesci said. I think it ' s possible because a lot of people would be interested if you can win money, he said. We ' ve told some people, and they were really interested in it. To publicize the event, members said they would distribute posters to residence halls and possibly make table tents for the dining centers in the residence halls. The biggest goal is to get people involved in the tournament and get a good turnout, Hinrikus said. (Our goal is) not only to get people involved so they meet people but to raise money for the hall. Condry said the event would include more than just students living in Van Zile.

JU Croley, Janna Iola, Kan. Elementary Education SR plaque hanging in the first floor lobby of West Hall recognized the forgotten. Shirley Robinson, hall president and senior in computer science, said residents created the West Hall of Fame fall semester to award efforts not always noticed by everyone in the hall. Things are getting done here, but not everyone gets recognized for what they do, Robinson said. We wanted to have an award for people who are active in the hall and people who have taken their own initiative to organize programs and follow through. The first Hall of Fame award went to Erin Rosen, social activities coordinator and junior in elementary education. Rosen said the selection seemed odd because she played a key role in the implementation of the program. I was so involved trying to get everything worked out for it that I was surprised to be named, Rosen said. Some of the people on the committee hinted about it, but it didn ' t even occur to me that I could win. Laura Widenor, West Hall resident life coordinator, said Rosen ' s efforts to raise money for a new computer for the hall ' s computer lab reflected her sincere interest in the hall. Erin is instrumental to the involvement of the hall, Widenor said. Her energy really gets people excited in the hall. Robinson said the Hall of Fame selection process began each semester with nominations by the residents from each floor. The nominations were then voted on by a selection committee composed of representatives from each floor, and the Hall Governing Board, a community assistant and a residence assistant. We wanted to make it equal so people could win without holding a position in the hall, Robinson said. Hopefully it will create an incentive for more people to get involved. With a low pa rtcipation rate after the first semester of the award program, the committee said they hoped to receive more nominations during the next semester of the competition, Widenor said. We had two nominees so we ' re hoping that it will grow, Widenor. This being our first one was the major drawback, and we hope down the road there will be more participation. Rosen considered the program successful enough to continue. We weren ' t really sure how it would turn out and who wo uld participate, Rosen said. Considering it was the first time, it turned out pretty well. Nothing is perfect the first time around. It was neat to be the first to be involved in starting this award. We thought about it last year and actually putting it into effect is a neat feeling. Erin Rosen junior in elementary education 340,west hall residence halls Dunn, Corey Baldwin City, Kan.

Computer Engineering SR by leslie nachtrab Editors note: The following story is about a fraternity that joined a community-wide effort to save the life of a student many had never met. For Jason Christiensen, 22, the outpouring of help from the K-State community — a place he called home for three years — was as unreal as his condition, which affected only two people per million population. Christiensen never used the donations gathered pr his double-lung transplant. He died Nov. 19. The encouragement he received proved his memory will not be forgotten. He remains part of his family and friends ' lives, part of a strong community and part of K-State. People say music has the power to heal. Acacia fraternity used the music of HoneyBee Groove at a benefit concert to help heal a student. The fraternity incorporated the concert, Sept. 5, into their party, the Annual Night on the Nile. Daniel Weber, junior in marketing and social chairman, learned of a student in need of a double-lung transplant three days before the party and organized the concert to raise money. I read about Jason in the paper, he said. Our house is about human service. It ' s in our crest. I thought we could do a benefit concert. Jason Christiensen would have been a senior in kinesiology in the fall, but he was diagnosed with a potentially fatal heart disease, primary pulmonary hypertension April 1997. He was on a waiting list for a double-lung transplant. Brian McLaughlin, junior in life sciences, knew Christiensen from their hometown, Abilene, Kan., and wanted to help. I thought it was a perfect time to be able to give money to him, he said. It made it even better that I knew him. With medical bills totaling an estimated $234,000, a donation fund had already been created in Abilene. Acacia members sent their money to that fund. I was surprised, Christiensen said. I didn ' t know many fraternity guys there. I ' m really appreciative because I know they didn ' t have a lot of time to plan. Planning the concert was relatively easy. I just asked the guys if they thought the concert would be something they ' d want to do, and they did, Weber said. We just called the band up, and that was pretty much it. Using money from their social fund to pay the band and provide refreshments, Acacia raised money for Christiensen by asking for a $2 cover charge from guests. The concert drew 150 people, raising $300. The 60 fraternity members donated $200, making the total $500. The six band members said they were excited to play for Christiensen and changed their original plans to make their K-State debut. We were supposed to do the Kansas City Music Festival tonight, but we wanted to do this benefit for Jason, drummer Rusty Morris said. We ' re all students, and we know how it is. For someone in our age group to have a letdown like this, it ' s got to be tough. Christiensen was not able to attend the concert due to his health but said he was amazed at the support he received. It ' s been so much more than I ' d ever expected, he said. I ' ve heard about other people wanting to do stuff, too. It shows how good peo ple really are. It ' s amazing. acacia.343 greek organizations acacia Johnson, Kyle Maple Hill, Kan. Mechanical Engineering FR Lebbin, Chris Scott City, Kan. Arts Sciences FR Miles, Ryan Colby, Kan.

Elementary Education FR philanthropy imitates tv game show by nathan brothers and kris robel brain power and slime were the key elements in the new Alpha Chi Omega sorority and Delta Tau Delta fraternity Double Dare philanthropy. Based on the popular Nickelodeon game show Double Dare, the philanthropy provided competition for four-member teams. We taped some of the game shows for ideas, Julie Lindamood, philanthropy chair and senior in journalism and mass communications, said. We also interpreted some of the questions from the Double Dare board game. Teams had 15 minutes to accumulate as many points as possible by answering trivia questions. If a team did not know an answer, they posed a dare to the opposing team. If the dared team did not know the answer, they had the option of posing a double dare, which the first team could take or receive a physical challenge. Physical challenges ranged from breaking water balloons with their heads to sponge relays. I got slimy, David Woolf, Alpha Tau Omega fraternity member and sophomore in business administration, said. The events were just about as close to the real thing on Nickelodeon as you can get. The goal of starting the Double Dare philanthropy was to involve more people. We decided to start a new philanthropy that would involve all of the students on campus and the community, Lindamood said. A lot of times only greeks are involved, so we sent out information to residence halls and the community in an effort to get more people involved. Efforts to include more people were not in vain, Lindamood said. More than 20 people from the community came to watch the event, she said. It was at the beginning of the year, and there was a football game that night, so the turnout wasn ' t as high as we had hoped, but we were still pleased. The game raised more than $2,000. Half of the earnings went to the Alpha Chi ' s charity, Manhattan Crisis Center, and half went to the Delt ' s charity, Kansas Diabetes Association. We picked the Manhattan Crisis Center as our charity because our national sorority ' s focus is on helping victims of domestic violence, and we figured our chapter could do its part through helping the crisis center, Shannon Johnston, president and senior in industrial engineering, said. Throughout the year we also collect donations and household items for the victims. The top three teams from the women ' s and men ' s divisions competed in a timed obstacle course that decided the winners of the competition. Pi Beta Phi sorority and ATO were the overall winners of the event. Gamma Phi Beta sorority and Sigma Nu fraternity placed second. Mike Finnegan, Sigma Nu member and freshman in sociology, said. We ' re all about having fun and getting dirty for a good cause. alpha chi omega.345 greek organization Duncan, Patricia Olathe, Kan. Hotel Restaurant Mngt. JU Edwards, Sara . Overland Park, Kan.

Elementary Education help from alumnae shows sisterhood by leslie elsasser in addition to generating more alumnae support for the house, members learned their sisterhood lasted far beyond college. The first Alpha Eta Alum of the Year award was given at an alumnae dinner in October. Alumnae dinners serve a neat purpose to get alums back in the house who haven ' t been here for awhile, Amber Wilson, alumnae relations chair and junior in animal science and industry, said. It helps to get everyone together. To encourage alumnae to visit, open houses were planned after football games. Open houses included house tours and refreshments. For Homecoming, after the game, we had a tour for alums to come see the house, Melissa Miller, executive vice president and senior in industrial engineering, said. We sent out fliers to tell about the open house. It ' s really neat these women took the time to come back. ADPi ' s housing corporation, composed of Manhattan alumnae, helped the house function on a daily basis. We have alums who serve on the housing corporation, Wilson said. They redid the living area. They help members with career goals and career plans. They help with day-to-day functions. Monetary contributions from alumnae also increased, Megan Navis, membership education vice-president and senior in international marketing, said. Getting them more involved with the house makes them more likely to send money, she said. Previously, there were low contributions from alums. Keeping them involved with the house encourages it. After the Alpha Eta chapter celebrated its 80th anniversary in 1995, the effort to increase alumnae support started. The alumnae relations chair at the time realized how important alumnae support was for the house, Meg Hoyle, senior in speech pathology, said. Alumnae relations helps alums stay connected to the girls, she said. When I become an alum, it will be important for me to stay involved. It shows the younger girls that it ' s a lifelong commitment. Since the anniversary, alumnae support continued to increase and reached a high point when Wilson took office January 1997, Navis said. Amber has done a really good job, she said. When I was a freshman there wasn ' t much support. From her involvement with alumnae, Wilson learned ADPi would still be important to her throughout her life. Alumnae relations is very important to me, she said. I ' ve grown a lot through my office. I think the chapter is who the alums are. When they come by, you see the meaning in their faces and can see what the sorority will mean to you. 348.alpha delta pi greek organizations alpha delta pi Davis, Kara Blue Springs, Mo.

Even though their sports were different, AGR members on the livestock judging team helped capture the team ' s fourth consecutive national title in Louisville, Ky., on Nov. 17. Chad Breiner, senior in animal science and industry, said before the competition he was optimistic about the team ' s performance. I think we had a pretty good shot to win. We ' d been fortunate all year long, Breiner said. We ' d won quite a few contests, and as far as I ' m concerned, we were the best judgers out there. Scott Schaake, livestock judging coach and assistant professor in animal science, said he worried the pressure of being three-peat national champions would affect the team ' s performance as they vied for their fourth title. There is so much pressure to win. Some students compete well under pressure, and some don ' t, Schaake said. It ' s my job as a coach to try to keep them mentally focused so they won ' t make mistakes that would cost them the contest. It ' s no doubt they had the ability. They just had to stay sharp. Twice before, livestock judgers won three consecutive titles, but the victory in Louisville was first time K-State, or any collegiate team, had captured a fourth title. Schaake said the victory at nationals reflected positively on the university and the students involved. K-State winning represents the college and the university well. It shows we have great leaders as students, Schaake said. They are also very good academically and most of them are very involved in other clubs and activities. After the competition, the team received media attention and support from organizations, including the Kansas Livestock Association, which presented the team with a portrait during a spring luncheon. Schaake said the outpouring of support was amazing. Livestock judging isn ' t a big spectator sport, and it ' s just amazing the amount of people that follow the team, Schaake said. With the media and publicity we ' ve gotten, they all know what we accomplished. I ' ve had thousands of letters and phone calls from all over the state and outside of the state saying congratulations on doing something that has never been done before, he said. Not only did the victory benefit the university, but it was a source of pride for AGR members, Ryan Higbie, senior in animal science and industry, said. It makes some of the fellow brothers in the house proud to realize there are some AGRs on the team that partook in the win, Higbie said. It ' s a valuable asset as far as promoting the house to future members across the state or nation who are interested in livestock judging. 352.alpha gamma rho greek organizations alpha gamma rho Evins, James Oakley, Kan.

Business Administration SO campers take on homelessness by eric buehler homelessness rarely yielded financial rewards, but Alpha Tau Omega fraternity members earned $804 by being homeless for seven days. Nick Krier, freshman in education; Chris Coad, senior in sociology; Chad Russell, sophomore in international business; and Brad Deener, sophomore in construction science, spent seven days and nights living out of their backpacks and begging for food. They set up camp on seven sororities ' lawns Nov. 6-13 and attended class during the day. Chris Coad and I came up with it because we happened to be actually camping out one night just for the heck of it, Russell said. We were laying there and decided if we could do it that night, we could do it for 11 nights straight. It just popped into our heads. Hunger Awareness Week started three days later, which provided members with the extra motivation to get the project underway. When we brought it up, a lot of guys were like, ' Yah, that ' s a great Coad said. Initially a lot of people did want to do it, but we made sure we told them that this is going to be a week-long event. Yo u ' ve got to dedicate a week of your time. Within three days, four members — Russell, Krier, Coad and Deener — decided to make the commitment. They presented the idea to all the sororities in hopes of gaining financial support. On Wednesday night we went to each house and explained what we wanted to do and asked for their help, Deener said. The reason we chose the sororities was because we figured with such short notice, we could get these ideas out to sororities, and it could happen a little more quickly than some other places. They asked each sorority for $100, Deener said. Some of the sororities gave the full amount and some even gave more. We didn ' t think that it would go that far, Deener said. It was really pretty good for what we expected to get. The donations were given to the Flint Hills Breadbasket at the end of the event. We chose the Flint Hills Breadbasket because it is a well known charity and because Thanksgiving was coming up, Deener said. We all felt this was appropriate. 354.alpha tau omega greek organizations alpha tau omega Graves, Chris Manhattan Mechanical Engineering FR Green, Jason El Dorado, Kan.

English SR sisters celebrate diamond year by aaron fruehling more than 450 Alpha Xi Delta alumnae and collegiate members celebrated their chapter ' s diamond anniversary as they cheered for Wildcat touchdowns Oct. 11. Celebrating the 75th anniversary of the sorority ' s K-State chapter, events included a tailgate party before the Saturday home football game, a dinner banquet and a brunch on Sunday. Planning the celebration required the entire house ' s efforts, Caitlin Bridgham, president and senior in early childhood education, said. There was a committee just for the 75th anniversary, she said. In a lot of our chapter meetings we had to discuss what kind of events we wanted to have, how we were going to set up those events and what kind of organization we had to have within those events. The chairman was basically in charge of everything, and then she divided up the house among committees and then divided up the responsibility. Preparations began a year earlier, Carrie Collett, committee chair and senior in secondary education, said. We rented the Holidome one year in advance, Collett said. I took over in January, and that was 10 months prior to the anniversary. The anniversary added to October ' s already hectic schedule, Bridgham said. It was a really busy time because of Homecoming, she said. We were trying to get ready for Homecoming, and our new members were trying to get through new member orientation. The celebration started with the tailgate party before the University of Missouri football game. It was one of the things to get the husbands involved, Bridgham said. They probably weren ' t thrilled about coming to some party for a bunch of sorority girls, so it was a chance for them to meet each other before the football game. After the game, the chapter had a formal dance at the Holiday Inn Holidome. Courtney Rader, sophomore in early childhood education, said the dance was one of the highlights. The best part of the weekend would have to be when the alumnae came and shared a lot of their stories with us, Rader said. And then the dance, with all of us dressed up wearing our formals, that was a lot of fun, too. Using the theme You don ' t have to be the best, but here it ' s tradition, related the celebration ' s historical focus. Meeting with the alumnae gave current members a better view of the past, Bridgham said. I think the anniversary was really special for us because we saw what the house had been to people in the 75 years, Bridgham said. We got to meet women who were around in the ' 50s when life was totally different. But I think, all in all, it was just really fun, and we were proud of what we ' d accomplished in those 75 years. 356.alpha xi delta alpha xi delta.357 greek organizations alpha xi delta Ebert, Terra Manhattan Accounting JU Evans, Marla Higginsville, Mo.

Business Administration SO religious heritage remembered by aaron fruehling beta Sigma Psi fraternity reformed their connection to the Lutheran community with their first Reformation dinner. The event celebrated the anniversary of Catholic monk Martin Luther nailing 95 Theses to the door of a Roman Catholic Church in 1517, eventually founding the Lutheran religion. Nov. 2, 480 years and two days later, Beta Sigs invited members from local churches and brought area Lutherans together. Basically, it ' s an historic day for the Lutheran faith, Chris Richard, president and junior in business administration, said. But it was also really to bring the fraternity and the town together, so the community could understand what we were there for and what we were doing by having a dinner for the Lutheran members of the community. Members saw the event as a chance to give back to local churches. We ' ve done different community service projects before, David Lott, former president and senior in agricultural journalism, said. We ' ve been to different Lutheran for church services, so now we have a chance to invite them to dinner. Hosting the dinner also reminded visitors that house members were willing to volunteer their time. The purpose was to let people in the churches know we ' re available if they need help, Brady Garren, public relations chairman and freshman in business administration, said, and kind of set us more out into the public with those people as we are in a Lutheran fraternity. Inviting local church members was the national organization ' s idea. The idea came from our national office, Lott said. They wanted us to try and do some more activities to invite the community to participate with us as a way for us to kind of show the community our fraternity and what we had to offer. Lott said churches had forgotten the fraternity was there for anything besides Sunday visits. We ' d had a couple of projects where we ' d help in the past, he said. We ' d show up at Beta Sig Sundays together, but outside of that, I think they ' d seen us at church, and that ' s about it. The service began with a sermon from Pastor Beese, the chapter ' s pastoral adviser, and was followed by a speech from Craig Verner, the organization ' s national president. The shared speaking duty was a change from the normal format, Richard said. When we talked to Craig and Pastor Beese, we kind of just threw them together and worked it out, he said. Both of them were a lot alike, and we incorporated both into the special service. The dinner provided an unexpected opportunity to attract new members. We weren ' t planning on, but it was kind of a rush tool for one of the area kids ' fathers, Richard said. So that was kind of a bonus for us. The dinner ' s success made visitors familiar with the organization and its members. It was just kind of an awareness thing to get people exposed to what we had at the fraternity, Lott said. We wanted them to come to the house, have dinner with us an d get to know some of the people and the faces that went along with the house. It ' s a yearly part of the Lutheran faith, and we decided to bring the members of the fraternity and the community together.

Architectural Engineering FR renovations give betas a new house by ashley youle and leslie elsasser when Beta Theta Pi members came back to school, interior renovations made everything in their house different. It ' s a drastic change, Nick Holmes, senior in management information systems and operations management, said. It wasn ' t bad before, but the sleeping dorms were in bad condition, and now they ' re really nice. It ' s a 180 turn for the house. Renovations had not been made since the early 1980s, so it was time to make changes, Kye Hittle, Beta Theta Pi president and senior in electrical engineering, said. It was time for a big renovation. All electrical wires and plumbing needed updating, he said. Our main goal was to bring everything up to code. Not everything was up to code, and that was one of the main reasons for the renovation. During the renovation, handicap accessible showers, bathroom stalls and parking spots were added, which would keep handicapped students interested in joining from being discouraged by the facilities, Bryan Jenkins, sophomore in secondary education, said. I know a couple of years ago, before I joined the house, there was a handicapped student, Jenkins said. It was a hassle for brothers to carry him up the stairs, and I am sure there were other problems with the facilities. It is a good way not to discourage new members from joining. The renovations had other benefits. They make the house look nicer, which helps with rush, he said. There ' s a more homey atmosphere, so everyone is more comfortable. The main floor had fewer changes than the upstairs, which was repainted and received new windows. The main floor had mostly cosmetic changes, Hittle said. We kept the same layout, but we added a fire alarm and sprinklers. Hopefully, within the next year we ' ll get new furniture. It all depends on money. Beta alumni helped fund the estimated $1 million project, and on Nov. 8, the house had its first alumni event and dedication ceremony to honor alumni who contributed to the renovation, Holmes said. Beta Day featured a house tour and plaques awarded to donors. Six special donors were honored, five of who (together) donated over $500,000 and one who donated over $100,000, Holmes said. Without them, the renovation might not have ever been possible. In addition to the alumni donations, undergraduate members each contributed $500. We didn ' t think it was fair that alums were paying for a house we ' re using, Holmes said. It was an act of good faith on our part because we ' ll be alums soon, and we ' ll be donating money. The renovations helped increase members ' pride in the house, Jenkins said. I think we have the best house on campus, he said. The best looking house compliments that. beta theta pi.361 greek organizations beta theta pi Jenkins, Bryan Overland Park, Kan. Secondary Education SO Jones, Andrew Leawood, Kan.

Management JU ■ chi Os push for academic achievement by barbara hollingsworth a national award, no skippy jar and monitored study hours provided academic inspiration at the Chi Omega sorority house. The Chi O ' s focus on academics became intense after winning the Award of Achievement at the Chi O national convention June 22 in Houston. I think we are a very strong chapter, and they want you to strive for the best always, Darcy Davidson, 1997 president and senior in pre-law, said. It ' s an incentive for us to do it again, and it ' s an accomplishment to reward us for all that we do. The chapter was one of 27 chapters out of 140 to receive the award. Despite the award ' s prestige, the chapter set their sights on a higher goal — the Award of Excellence, Chi O ' s top award. To reach that goal, one area the women wanted to improve was scholarship. The goal for the chapter is basically set by the nationals, Stacey Chapman, vice president and senior in elementary education, said. As a house we have to stay above the all-campus average, the all-sorority average, and as a house we must maintain a 2.75 GPA. Staying above the all sorority average could be a challenge since it was consistently above a 3.0, Chapman said. To boost the house GPA, members set goal GPA ' s and implemented monitored study hours for new members and members who did not have a 3.0 GPA in the fall. It ' s been very positive, Chapman said. I ' ve seen more girls at the library. It seems to be taking on a real positive implementation. Chapman said she noted members ' changed attitude towards grades when she saw women studying with their Homecoming partners in the middle of Homecoming week rather than partying. Katie Anderson, senior in management, said she experienced the benefits of the chapter ' s changed attitude towards studying. After having semesters with her GPA as low as a 2.0, Anderson received a 4.0 in the fall. It ' s my first 4.0 ever, Anderson said. It ' s been a goal of mine since middle school. My mom used to give me incentives. Anderson said the house ' s no skippy jar provided an incentive to attend class. During chapter meetings, members would pass around the no skippy jar, and women who had not skipped class that week could stick their name in the jar. They have awards for not skipping for the week, and when my grades got low it really meant a lot, Anderson said. They ' ll draw a name at the end, and you ' ll get a gift certificate for TCBY, Haynes or even a candy bar. Making study hours monitored rather than on an honor basis also kept women on track, Anderson said. I think that helped people to come over to the house and do study hours where as before it would have been easy to come over and just say they did them, Anderson, who added up study hours fall semester, said. I know when I was a freshman I would just write them in sometimes. This year I saw the new members and members in the basement with books in front of their faces. I ' ve seen more girls at the library. It seems to be taking on a real positive implementation.

Members announced on Oct. 10 at the fraternity ' s Founders Day banquet they would move into the Phi Delta Theta fraternity house, 508 Sunset. Delta Chi members had searched for a house since the chapter ' s establishment in 1993. For Delta Chi to have a house, it ' s incredible, Corey Rasmussen, president and senior in finance, said. It ' s what we ' ve been working for since we started here on campus. The Delta Chi housing corporation found the house and helped buy the former Phi Delt house with the help of alumni. It ' s a win-win situation for us and the Phi Delts, Rasmussen said. We get their house, and they ' re building a new house. Members planned to move during the summer 1998, and the housing corporation planned to make a few changes to the house. Right now, tentative plans are being made — deciding on a budget for some renovation but nothing extreme, Rasmussen said. The changes we have will be based on what the guys want. The house had room for 60 men. About 40 members would move in, and the other 20 spots would be filled by the new member class, Rasmussen said. Having members under one roof would help solve communication problems, Rasmussen said. It ' s going to provide us with the communication and organization we didn ' t have before, he said. Now we ' re going to have a centralized location, which is good. Tracey Mann, junior in political science, said members tried to solve communication problems when they lived in the Tatarrax apartment complex but still experienced difficulties. We make announcements in chapter and have a message board at the complex, Mann said, but it ' s not the same when something comes up at the last moment. Rasmussen said the bigges t challenge for members would be the lack of privacy. They ' re going to have to learn how to live with each other in a confined area, he said. Before, they had their own room and kitchen, and now they will have to share rooms and eat in a communal dining room. I don ' t think it will be too hard for them, but it will be a challenge. Older members were used to the privacy, Mann said, and most of the members who wanted a house were younger. I know some older guys are moving in, he said. I ' m not sure how many, but it ' s good for them to have the opportunity and the choice. It ' s there if they want it. It ' s kind of hard when you don ' t have a place to meet up.

Special Education JU tri-delts capture the limelight by sarah irick It always seems like it is the same people who do it, and this year everyone got into it. Karah Ungeheuer senior in life sciences homecoming ' s hour for pure purple power brought 15 minutes of fame to Delta Delta Delta sorority with a first place finish. The Tri-Delts ' Homecoming team applied the theme Now is the Hour for Pure Purple Power to the week ' s activities and ended with their first victory in more than 10 years. Karah Ungeheuer, Homecoming chair and senior in life sciences, said the finish gave members confidence. Homecoming really brought our whole house together, Ungeheuer said. It gave everyone a really good feeling about the house because of the fact we all came together. Teamed with Phi Gamma Delta and Sigma Chi fraternities, the Tri-DeIts also placed first in the body building, float and parade competitions and finished third in the spirit banner for the greek division. From the beginning, I knew we had a lot of creative and enthusiastic people, Ungeheuer said. We didn ' t expect to do this well, but I had a good feeling about it. With Homecoming week scheduled a month earlier than past years, participants were given less time to plan for the competition. The Tri-Delts did not find the time alloted as a disadvantage, Carrie Kessinger, body building chair and senior in marketing and international business, said. With Homecoming being so early, everyone was still pumped up from rush, Kessinger said. School hadn ' t set in yet, and everyone was still excited to see their friends again. Planning done before Homecoming week by sarah irick and involvement from the entire house kept members enthusiastic about the week, Ungeheuer said. A lot of times, it seems like the younger classes have carried the house during Homecoming, but this year everyone got involved, Ungeheuer said. We had a lot of leaders, and everyone put forth the effort to get things done. Homecoming came up on us a lot faster than we expected, and people didn ' t get burned out. Everyone kept interested and excited throughout the week. Kessinger said experience from the older members of the house also helped secure their first place finish in body building. We had a lot of upperclassmen, and they ' d been through it and knew about the long time commitment and knew what it took to win, Kessinger said. The younger ones were also able to pick it up quickly. By focusing on practicing technical stunts from the beginning, Kessinger said the team of about 50 body builders was able to come out on top. From the very beginning, we knew what we wanted to put in the routine and didn ' t waste our time, Kessinger said. In the first round, two of our four diamondheads fell, but that gave us more incentive to go all out and hit them on the last one. Amy Warner, junior in elementary education, said the team ' s overall victory should be credited to overwhelming enthusiasm from all three houses. We wanted to win this year, and we had never really stressed that in years before, Warner said. We weren ' t stressed during the week because we had everything done and were able to have a lot of fun. 368.delta delta delta greek organizations delta delta delta Carlson, Melissa Solomon, Kan.

Landscape Architecture JU who you gonna call? ghost busters by jami nelson and nathan brothers for Delta Sigma Phi fraternity members, the question of ghosts ' existence was part of their house ' s heritage. There ' s a ghost in this house. It ' s something you learn to accept, Kyle Corman, sophomore in business administration, said. You just live with it. Other members were not as quick to believe. I ' ve lived here for 2-1 2 years, and nothing ' s ever happened, Chris Flanigan, senior in civil engineering, said. No apparitions, no whisperings in the night, nothing to give me gray hair. Flanigan lived in the room of the ghost Delta Sigs referred to as George. The ghost was reminiscent of the house ' s past as a hospital in the early 1900s. Built in 1908, the building originally housed families whose sons had gone to fight in World War I. It later served as a hospital for two different groups: Parkview Hospital Company and the Sisters of St. Joseph. The corporation board bought the house from the Sisters of St. Joseph in the 1950s, Flanigan said. Then they turned it into our house. Some members said two ghosts remained in the house. George Segal was a patient when the hospital closed. While nurses moved patients to the new hospital, George rolled between his bed and a wall, and nurses never found him. George died after spending two weeks trapped behind the bed, and some say his ghost continued to haunt the fraternity. George likes ' Star Trek. ' The story is, every time the house ' s electricity would go off, ' Star Trek ' would come on the TV, Cale Doornbos, sophomore in landscape architecture, said. I think that quit happening in the late ' 80s though. Pete Scheidler, sophomore in park resource management, said there were other unexplained accounts of toilets flushing, knocking in the walls and emergency lights suddenly turning on. I used to be an architecture major, and once I was coming home from studio at about 5 in the morning, Johnson said. The emergency lights were flashing in the hallway, so I turned the switch to off, and they kept flashing. I didn ' t know what was going on, so I bolted to my room. If George was not to blame, the occurrences were the fault of another ghost in the house — the Night Nurse. The Night Nurse died when she fell down the elevator shaft. The Night Nurse pushed her medicine cart around the hallways, and some claimed to have seen her image. One pledge was looking in the mirror and said he saw someone behind him in a hospital outfit, Dennis Wright, graduate in business, said. He turned around, and no one was there. The Night Nurse had been known to show up at parties, Tim Gust, senior in management, said. We were having a party one night, and this girl comes running into our room and said she saw a nurse, Gust said. The girl was going down the hallway to the bathroom, and the nurse was walking around. Members said the unexplained events did not usually frighten them, but they treated them as normal occurrences. You just don ' t sit around waiting for the ghost to do something, Scheidler said. You don ' t think about it until something happens. The lights would flash all the time, and the TV would come on when it wasn ' t on 10 minutes ago.

Marketing SR Dugan, Ryan Wichita Business Administration SO Foley, Chris Wichita Sociology SR 25-year-old greek breaks stereotypes by marla johnson chris Foley joined the greek system when most men his age were leaving. Foley, senior in sociology, joined the Delta Tau Delta fraternity at the age of 22 after serving in the U.S. Marines for four years. Being in the Marines I learned how brotherhood was important, and I wanted to keep that up, Foley said. I thought joining a fraternity would be a good way to do that and make new friends. Even before Foley enrolled at K-State, he had an interest in the Delt house. I had some friends I graduated with who were Delts, and I had heard such good things about the house and the greek system at K-State I didn ' t have any hesitations about joining, Foley said. It was something no one in my family had done, and I wanted to do something different. My dad had always regretted not doing it, and my brothers indicated they wished they had done it. After visiting the Delt house in spring 1995, Foley said he was impressed by the members and their attitudes. I could see they were a growing house where they were concentrating on increasing their grade point average. They were very diverse, and they were themselves around me. They didn ' t put on a show to try to get me to sign, he said. When I came to K-State I felt like I was at home, and that is the way I felt when I was at the Delt house. I felt I was among friends, and that was the biggest thing that drew me to it. During the two years Foley lived in the house he was active in intramural sports and served as philanthropy chairman. I became the philanthropy chairman the spring of 1996. I really got into that because bymarla johnson being in the Marines I was exposed to Toys for Tots and being a public representative for the Marine Corps, he said. I thought one of the important aspects of any greek fraternity or sorority was to have a good, positive image in the community, and that is what I wanted to do as philanthropy chairman. Aric Harris, president and junior in marketing and international business, said Foley ' s involvement in the house was helpful to his fraternity brothers. He has a higher maturity level that helps out the younger members with their outlook on grades, how life works and what life is really about, Harris said. He brings a new light into the fraternity as to what the real world is like. Sara Fraley, Foley ' s fiancee, said she was glad he joined the house. It has done a lot for his confidence level, and it ' s done a lot for him socially too, Fraley said. He ' s met a lot of friends he will know for years. Those guys would do anything for Chris, and he would do anything for them. Foley said being far away from his fiancee and sons, Cody and Darren, was hard on him while he was at college, but the friendships he formed with his brothers and the experiences he had being involved in the house benefited him. I ' m a non-traditional student, and being out of school for a couple of years, it gave me the opportunity to get back on course. Foley said. The Marines taught me value and how to respect things and to be proud of what your are. The Delts took that a notch higher. delta tau delta.373 When people ask who I am, I say I am a marine, and I am a Delt.

Mechanical Engineering FR chapter wins worldwide competition by angels buccigrossi delta Upsilon fraternity members took home the sweepstakes trophy from their annual international conference in July. DU members spent spring semester 1997 preparing their application for the award, which was awarded to the top fraternity chapter. Brian Vulgamore, president and senior in agricultural economics, said the members wanted to give themselves plenty of time to thoroughly complete the 12-section application. We had a lot more sections than we needed, Vulgamore said. We kind of went above and beyond the requirements. We ended up having 22 different sections. All 85 DU chapters were eligible to apply for the top chapter award. Other applications were not as complete as K-State ' s more than 200-page document, Scott Leahy, vice president and junior in electrical engineering, said. The chapter went to the extra work because they said they had improved in many aspects, including grades, intramurals and philanthropies. It was a lot of work, but we had a really strong year, and we just wanted to show that to nationals, Leahy said. Dave Fritchen, DU adviser and assistant professor of architectural engineering and construction science, said strong leadership in the house was one reason they won. I ' m very pleased they were recognized for their time and hard work. It showed them that this kind of leadership and support for the chapter is worthwhile, Fritchen said. They had a great year. All it took was the extra effort to compile the application. Their time and effort paid off in the form of a 4-foot, traveling trophy that was placed in the house ' s front foyer. We got this enormous trophy, Leahy said. It has the names of all the chapters who have won it engraved on it. But it ' s a traveling trophy, so we ' ll have to give it back if we don ' t win it again next year. The award gave members confidence and motivation, Vulgamore said. We really hadn ' t won anything in several years, he said. It did a lot for the chapter. It built up lots of morale. Completing the application helped officers excel in their offices. It created a sense of responsibility, Vulgamore said. They had to organize and present their office. It really helped our overall organization as a chapter and built confidence in our officers. Along with the award of top chapter, they also received Best Financial Management Program, Most Outstanding Service Project and an honorable mention for Outstanding Membership Education at the conference. Motivation to win the awards also came from the DU ' s renovation and addition project, Vision 2000. The expansion would eventually allow the house to accommodate 82 men, compared to 68. The project required fund raising, members ' financial commitments and the support of alumni. Winning the top-chapter award showed alumni the house deserved their support, Vulgamore said. We wanted to go out and show our alumni that we are still here and doing good things, he said. delta upsilon.375 greek organizations Davis, Jacob Wetmore, Kan.

Agricultural Education SO by janet cook alumni men reflect campus connections tradition was the basis for FarmHouse fraternity members, and their strong alumni base reflected that. With about 40 alumni in the Manhattan community —22 serving as faculty members FarmHouse had an advantage, Kevin Stamm, senior in biological and agricultural engineering, said. Most of the faculty are in the agricultural department, but there are a few in engineering and other areas, Stamm said. It just helps provide a friendly feeling. To know the faculty and to have something in common with them is great for adjustment, particularly for the new members. The resources the faculty provided created a network for future recruitment within the house. The close contact faculty have with perspective students is a great help because it provides direction and guidance on places to live and opportunities available to them on campus, Stamm said. The alums are a great way to maintain membership by submitting names of qualified men to be in house. The alumni contributed significantly to house renovations. The house began a fund-raising drive in spring 1995 and had raised $750,000 for their $1 million improvements. Our alums serve as a check to ideas we would like to implement. They help us keep the conservative philosophy the house was founded on, Stamm said. If there were no alumni, there would be no renovations to the house or even a house to live in. We need to meet the demands of today. It is not the same situation or people that were here 50 years ago, and we need to change with the times. Satisfaction with FarmHouse during undergraduate years was one reason alumni stayed or remained involved with the fraternity. I had a significant experience with the house as an undergrad, and I looked for ways to continue to serve the house, Jim Lindquist, former FarmHouse adviser and area extension director for northeast Kansas, said. We tend to have more alums in academia come back to the community to serve as faculty members, which helps with involvement. Members and alumni said the strong particip ation by the alumni was needed to keep the house ' s strong traditions. There is a need for a tie between thought, between ideas, between what happens within the house among all ages, Miles McKee, professor of animal science and industry, said. I think there are benefits to have talk between the different levels. It ' s just a good, positive experience. Members said without alumni support, they would not be able to function in an efficient manner. We would lack wisdom, guidance, and advice, Jed Spencer, alumni chairman and senior in horticulture, said. I feel we use our alums and especially our advisers to their full potential. We couldn ' t make the important decisions without them. FarmHouse members were not the only ones to benefit from their alumni resources. The university dedicated several buildings and additions on campus after FarmHouse alumni, including Weber Hall, Chester E. Peters Recreation Complex and Williams Auditorium in Umberger Hall. The close involvement with the house had nothing but advantages, Lindquist said. The reward is being able to stay in touch with the current generation of college students in a different way, he said. To watch the transition from young people to mature people ready to enter the work force is great. Tradition was the important reason for alumni support, Spencer said. There is more of a personal touch and knowledge, he said. You see how things have changed, but yet the principles have remained the same. The reward is being able to stay in touch with the current generation of college students in a different way.

Arts Sciences SO m embers achieve varsity status by barbara hollingsworth atrio of crew members balanced their lives on the water with responsibilities off the water. Three Gamma Phi Beta sorority members hit the water for the first time as a part of the women ' s crew team: Megan Calcara, freshman in architecture; Alisa Lowman, sophomore in communication sciences and disorders; and Joni Young, freshman in agribusiness. For two of the women, it was their first time to participate in the sport. I talked them both into trying out. Joni is really small, so I said she would make a really good coxswain, Calcara, who had rowed in high school, said. Alisa had also said that she was interested in it, so that was how we all got together and went. Young joined the team halfway through the season when she still lived on the same floor in Ford Hall with Calcara. By the end of the semester, Young lived in the sorority house. Alisa was there, so she woke me up in the mornings rather than Megan having to call my room, Young said of the 6 a.m. practices at Tuttle Creek Reservoir. Between the three of us there ' s usually one of us pushing the others to get up and dragging each other to practice when you don ' t want to go. Despite the sometimes late nights, the three said chapter members supported their involvement. When the crew team was host to KU the same weekend as the K-State vs. KU football game, Lowman said women put off `by barbara tailgating to come support them. A lot of them were my friends, and I had basically told them they had to come, she said. The bad thing was the race was postponed because of the fog, and they wanted to go to the game. They didn ' t get to see us race. With morning practices and afternoon weight lifting practices three times a week, sorority activities were sometimes hard to fit into their schedules, Lowman said. It was like if we had anything in the house it was crew first, Lowman said. Usually you could kind of go to both go to practice and then go to the activity right away. Calcara said she loved the sport too much for it to become a time burden. If I ever thought that, I would just realize how much I ' m getting from it, she said. If I miss something, I realize it ' s probably for the best. Crew is such an amazing thing for me. I still have a really good social life; my dad just said it ' s too good, Calcara said laughing. I don ' t think it is a really big sacrifice. I think if you like to do things, it ' s not really a sacrifice. After rowing for one semester, Lowman said she would probably not be able to make the sacrifice again. Health problems indicated the sport was too demanding on her body. It ' s going to be tough, she said. I think the hardest thing will be when I talk on the phone or read in the paper and see how they did at a regatta. I ' ll think, ' I was a part of that.

Pre-Health Professions Program JU communitty involves philanthropy by aaron frueling more than 100 WildKAT Chase shivered while they waited for the race results. The wait was longer than expected. Members of Kappa Alpha Theta sorority, organizers of the Nov. 1 event, spent an hour recalculating the results of the 5- and 10 kilometer races because the computer program would not separate the runners ' times into the different categories, Amy Sorensen, junior in accounting, said. The first-ever chase was an event that required months of planning after seeing a similar race at the University of Kansas. We worked on it for weeks and weeks, Jana Reichenberger, in business administration, said. They have this race at KU. The at KU do a Sun Run, and we just used their idea. Melissa Jones, service chairwoman and junior in hotel and restaurant management, said the KU chapter was supportive of the new race. We had never done an event like this, Jones said. The spring semester of the year before, I went to KU and asked the KU Thetas how they went about it. There ' s a lot of research behind it. Finding financial and public support for the new event wa s a long process, Jones said. Getting sponsors was a whole summer-fall event, she said. And then we tried to get it (information) all out a month and a half in advance to runners. Radio station KMKF-FM 101.5 helped the sorority inform the public. We ' ve used K-Rock in other philanthropic by aaron frueling events, she said, We asked them, and they donated their services to advertise on the radio and do a live broadcast. It was just a matter of asking them to help participate and asking them to be one of our sponsors. The sorority also had to obtain permission for the use of East Stadium. We had to go through facility reservations and reserve that and reserve the use of the campus. Jones said. Next year, we will also go through the city and try to block off a street for more safety precautions. Reichenberger ' s experience in running helped ensure preparations for the race were complete. I ran all four years in high school, and then I was in a lot of races at K-State, Reichenberger said. It helped out a lot with planning out the course and the finish line because I knew how things worked and what you need to tell t he runners before the race. Proceeds from the event benefited Court Appointed Special Advocates. CASA has a local organization, and what they do is give a needed voice in the court system for a child, Jones s aid. The CASA volunteers tell what, in their opinion, is best for the child. Extensive house participation made the event a success, Jones said. Every single one was involved in it, she said, From helping solicit, to being a safety monitor the day of the race, watching traffic, helping traffic control, helping with registration and helping break down. It was an event we tried to get the community involved in, as well as the whole house participation. I was truly amazed how not a single person in a 142-member house didn ' t help out in some way.

JR kappas help curb world hunger by j.j. kuntz in the effort to raise money for World Vision, Kappa Kappa Gamma sorority members spent 30 consecutive hours trying to keep their minds on something other than food. The Kappas joined Beta Theta Pi fraternity members in a 30-hour fast April 19 and 20, 1997, to collect money for world hunger and raise awareness of the problem throughout the greek system. The Betas invited us out of all of the sororities on campus, Sara Kruse, sophomore in journalism and mass communications, said. Next year we would like to get another fraternity and sorority involved and then keep building from there. The Kappas met at the Beta house to discuss guidelines of the fast and start off the weekend event, Stacy Miller, junior in industrial engineering, said. None of the participants were allowed to eat during the 30-hour activity but could drink juice and water. We started on a Saturday at noon and were finished by 6 o ' clock Sunday night, she said. During that time, we had on-going activities so we wouldn ' t be thinking about not eating. To keep their minds off of their stomachs, both houses organized games and movies. We played games and stayed up all night, Sara Kruse said. We also went to a baseball game and then played football in the old stadium. Other activities included a scavenger hunt and a car wash at Hardee ' s in Aggieville. The activities helped out a lot, Miller said. Since everybody was participating, you really couldn ' t sit around and complain about not eating. Miller said she hit a point when she realized she didn ' t need the food so bad. I really didn ' t think about it (not eating) that much. Miller said. By the end (of the fast) — around 6 p.m. on Sunday night — I realized I was going to get to eat soon, and then that was the hardest point. Marcy Meyers, sophomore in business administration, said experiencing a day without food made the participants realize the intensity of world hunger. It makes you think about the starving people in the world and makes you realize what it would be like to not be able to eat, she said. Pooling donations for the fast was one way the Kappas raised money for World Vision. Although members looked outside of the group for support, the greatest amount came from the other participants. I think the feeling was we were in it together, Miller said. A lot of people were there not eating so there was a lot of support. It gave us an excuse to be together, and it was also 30 hours of fun time. The event raised more than $1,300 and left an impression on each house and its members. It provided a positive outlook on the house and community. Meyers said. It showed we are a service organization and that we do more than just party and have fun. We also go out and help the community. 388. ka ppa kappa gamma greek organizations Boettcher, Miranda Beloit, Kan. Marketing Bolinder, Arwen ...... ........... .................... ...... .....

Life Sciences SR drafting dining room renovations by leslie elsasser Improvements to the dining room included new carpet, tables, chairs, and wallpaper. During the summer, subcontractors worked on renovations while eight to 10 Kappa Sig members helped paint, strip old wallpaper and finish trim work. Having members help saved $10,000 to $15,000, and had other advantages for the chapter, Kimzey said. It showed alumni we wanted them to do more, he said. It really showed alumni we had support of the house. Kimzey said the project would not have been successful if all members had not supported a Kappa Sigma fraternity member gained experience for his future profession in the dining room of his house. Scott Kimzey, president and senior in construction management, designed plans for the dining room after the mom ' s club thought of the idea for improvements. One of the guy ' s mom is an interior decorator, he said. I drew up a set of plans and gave them to her. She made a whole scheme as to what we should do. Kimzey said his interest and experience with construction helped him with the designs for the dining room. I spent a couple of hours drawing up the plans, he said. I have lots of experience with this stuff. I ' ve had an internship in Lawrence for three years doing this stuff. It ' s what I am going to do. Doug Coffman, senior in life science, said the project benefited from Kimzey ' s leadership abilities. He took dreams and put them on paper, and he presented them, he said. I think it needed his expertise. It wouldn ' t have taken flight without him. The chapter presented the idea to the alumni board and asked them to help fund the $50,000 project. Kappa Sig members agreed to add $8 a month to their house bills, while alumni board members paid the rest of the cost. When the project was presented, the alumni board thought of ideas to help save money, Coffman said. They said we could save quite a lot of money if members helped, he said. They said if we came in under budget, we could tile the entire entryway. That was a motivation to guys. it. It ' s neat because we all put a lot of sweat into it, he said. I am the type of person that when I start something, I finish. Things have to look clean and perfect. I am grateful people had faith in me, but I am not the only person who made it possible. If I didn ' t have support, it wouldn ' t have gotten done. Before renovations, Kimzey said the dining room did not look bad, but after they were completed, the change was apparent. My family lives in Florida, and I had been gone two weeks and hadn ' t seen it since I ' d painted walls and did trim work, he said. I walked in and almost had a heart attack; that ' s a little exaggerated. I was surprised. Clint Simon, 1997 president and senior in food science, said one reason the dining room needed updating was to encourage new members to join. The fraternity needed upkeeping to compete with the dorms, he said. It ' s hard to get guys if the house has a 1970s look. It was run down, but it went from a 1970s look to an elegant 1990s look. 392.kappa sigma greek organizations kappa sigma Crane, Zachary Larned, Kan. Architecture FR Daniels, Shawn Paola, Kan.

A year-long journey began for the Lambda Chis when their bid was accepted to host the Great Plains Conclave. We were excited, Todd Briggeman, conclave coordinator and junior in mechanical engineering, said. We are considered to be one of the top chapters in the nation, and this is a great honor for us. In order to host the Great Plains Conclave, Feb. 27-March 1, the fraternity had to submit a presentation at the national convention at Iowa State University the year before. Our presentation was far and beyond better than many of the other chapters, Matt Cooper, president and junior in architectural engineering, said. For the last 21 years we have received an excellent rating. Aside from completing the written submission form, the chapter added their own sections to the form and completed a 100-picture, slide-show presentation highlighting the advantages of holding the conclave at K-State, Briggeman said. We completed a slide show showing the whole campus, he said. There was also a factorial presentation of what K-State has to offer and why we would be a good place to hold the meeting. Preparing for the convention was not as time consuming or difficult as the members had originally perceived because of the support they received from the national organization. They (nationals) have it down to a science, Briggeman said. We ' ve known what we had do to all along, so it hasn ' t been very time consuming. One of the reasons the Lambda Chis wanted to have the conclave was to showcase and their chapter. Number one was to promote Cooper said. We have excellent facilities such as the Union, the Ramada and Aggieville. We wanted to present K-State as a place for people coming here in the future. Whether reserving rooms at the Ramada or lining up speakers with the correct workshop, fraternity members were in charge of organizing every aspect of the event. Fraternity members were also in charge of relaying information to the 66 chapters in the conclave region, Briggemann said. We have a group of about 10 guys who will be really involved in the preparation, and then our whole chapter will be attending the conference. Clay Seese, 1997 president and senior in architectural engineering, said. The convention gave the chapter an opportunity to share some of the points, which made them successful, Briggemann said. There are always reasons to have such a convention, Seese said. It gives us an opportunity to showcase our own chapter and take something back with them. Having it at K-State also allows us to show the K-State campus. K-State It ' s an honor because we had to be selected by the other chapters i n our conclave. It ' s also an honor because it shows that other chapters have respect for our chapter.

Three members joined more than 400 chapters in the Sigma Gamma Rho sorority in commemorating the organization ' s founding. K-State ' s chapter was founded Oct. 3, 1992. Before it was founded here, (the chapter) was a colony for all the undergraduate schools in Kansas, Stacy Yeager, president and senior in management, said. Then, they broke off from that colony to come to The chapter planned events from Nov. 10 to 16, including a week-long clothing drive. The clothing drive went pretty well, Yeager said. We had about three bags of clothes prepared for the women ' s crisis center, the group we work with every year. We also have another clothing drive in the spring. The Black and African student unions ' Unity Night on Nov. 11 gave the sorority a chance to create a better connection between the two groups. The purpose of Unity Night was to have a discussion on the differences between the African and Black student unions, Yeager said. I acted as a kind of mediator. We talked about different things that were happening on campus. We got to meet each other. Obviously, they don ' t go to our meetings, but we wanted to have a better understanding of what each group was doing. Nov. 13 was volunteer night at the Boys and Girls Club. At the Boys and Girls Club, we mentor every other Thursday, Yeager said. While we were there, we helped them paint and set up posters, organize books, help mentor the kids and also did anything else they needed us to Members gathered Nov. 14 to hear poetry in Union 212, as well as see a special screening of the movie Rosewood. The events were open to the public with the donation of a canned good, benefiting the Flint Hills Breadbasket. We decided to do a poetry reading because there ' s a lot of talent here as far as poems and things of that nature, so we decided we wanted to do something like that, Yeager said. Also, Arnett Doctor from ' Rosewood ' was coming on Tuesday, so we wanted to show the movie about his family before we heard him speak, so we could prepare questions for him. The Union Program Council had plans to show the movie but not before Doctor ' s visit. It was already coming through town, but it was going to be shown after he spoke, Yeager said. We felt like it needed to be shown before. No events were scheduled on Nov. 15, due to the sorority ' s participation in the Alpha Phi Alpha ' s Neak Frasty stepshow. Saturday we met in the afternoon and talked about chapter history, Natalie Fort, senior in marketing and international business, said. We also discussed the events of the week. We had some good ideas, and I was pleased with the way the events went. The anniversary celebration concluded with the Gospel Extravaganza Nov. 16 in the K-State Student Union ' s Little Theater. Five choirs from Junction City and K-State ' s United Black Voices sang at the event. Being a sorority with three members didn ' t make arranging the anniversary events difficult, Yeager said. It wasn ' t hard at all, because we worked really well together, she said. These were yearly events, and everyone was willing to participate. The small sorority ' s participation in the community was impressive, Carla Jones, faculty adviser and associate dean of student life, said. It ' s the smallest black sorority on campus, and yet they fulfill all their obligations to the national chapter, Jones said. They all work extremely hard, and I also admire how they are so involved in the black community. These were yearly events, and everyone was willing to participate.

Sociology SR phi delt ' s throw last holiday fling by leslie elsasser Delta Theta fraternity decorated their house, played music and opened it up to students to ensure their last Christmas party, Dec. 10, was the best. After selling their house to Delta Chi fraternity in the fall, the Phi Delts planned to build a new one. The Christmas party, called Big C.C., would be the last due to alcohol regulations in the new house. The party elicited mixed emotions from members, Joe Kordalski, president and junior in social work, said. I ' ll miss the party because it was one of the last we ' ll have because we ' re going dry, he said. The land our new house will be on was given to us with the understanding it would be substance free. To make the party the best, members tried to let people know about it. They also decorated the hallways on the three floors with lights, garland and fake snow. We tried to tell a lot of people, he said. A guy in the house runs a DJ company, and he set up his equipment. We tried to decorate nicely. Besides word of mouth, members went caroling to get the word out. We went singing just to let everyone know that Big C.C. was that night, and it was the last one, Michael Allen, secretary and junior in marketing, said. We had a few guys put shaving cream on sorority ' s cars, and they put Big C.C. on the windows. Members participated in other activities with their pledge families before the party started. There was a gift exchange with our pledge dads before, Ryan Everhart, sophomore in management information systems, said. There was a nice dinner with steak, baked potatoes and rolls. It got us into the holiday spirit with our other family. There was lots of togetherness, so we got to know each other. Big C.C., named after the president ' s room because it was the biggest in the house, had been a house tradition for years, and it was always on Wednesday before finals. It ' s gone on as long as I ' ve been in the house, Kordalski said. It ' s a good time. The holidays are fun as the semester winds down. Everyone in the house is there to have fun and unwind. The Christmas party was memo- rable for members, Everhart said. It was my second year to go, he said. It was a good time. Stuff like this is memorable because we ' re going dry. Parties are a part of college life you want and are reluctant to give up. During the party, Kordalski saw his fraternity brothers having fun, and he reminisced about past Christmas parties, he said. It was nice seeing my pledge class and the guys under us, Kordalski said. It was a time for us to come together before the house is turned over to the Delta Chis.

Business Administration BR Cure, Chad Salina, Kan. Kinesiology SR flirs going dry means little change by rochelle steele phi Gamma Delta fraternity ' s most controversial national decision sparked opinions but few concerns for the K-State chapter. The Fiji international collegiate fraternity passed regulations for chapters to ban alcohol by June 1, 2000. Although the action changed the face of the fraternity at a national level, it had little immediate effect on the Manhattan chapter, Phil Nicoli, 1997 treasurer and senior in accounting, said. I feel we are very safe with our parties, and we ' re very responsible with our alcohol to begin with, so nothing really changed, Nicoli said. We ' ll still be able to have fun and party at our normal high level; we just won ' t be able to have such functions at the house. The fraternity decided on the measure Oct. 2, three days after the alcohol-related death of an 18-year-old Fiji member at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology. The incident did not influence the alcohol ban but would be used as support in the proponents ' arguments, Nicoli said. They have been talking about this for about three years, so that incident didn ' t really influence it, he said. Will it be brought up? Yes. Is it right to be brought up? Probably it won ' t be valid in most contexts, but it will be brought up. The decision was executive, but individual chapters ' delegates would be able to respond to the proposal at Ekklesia, the Fiji national convention, in the summer, Aaron Mayes, 1997 president and senior in finance and economics, said. There ' s a lot of gray area right now, Mayes said. We have a national meeting, and we should get an opportunity to have some input in the situation and get some feedback. Some members wanted alternative action, like banning hard liquor, which they said would be more realistic, Nicoli said. I think that is a much more realistic plan and has more of a chance of success, he said. The whole point of this is to avoid deaths and the over drinking. Although members disagreed on a solution, Mayes said most felt it was a problem that needed to be addressed. With some of the chapters, from the national perspective, something definitely needs to be done, he said. I think it does show that we are actually trying to do something, and that is very important. David Waters, 1998 president and junior in political science, said the Fiji decision would be positive if other fraternities followed suit. It will help us get a jump on rush and other policies that we ' ll have to change, he said. I really think this is going to be a big movement for other fraternities, and the scholarship and leadership aspects will become the emphasis. phi gamma delta.401 greek organizations phi gamma delta Donovan, Andrew Shawnee, Kan.

Doubling their efforts, the Phi Kapps participated in an Interstate 70 cleanup and Flint Hills Breadbasket food drive for the first time. The cleanup took place Oct. 19 and spanned two miles of I-70 starting at mile marker 323, Mark Thomas, president and senior in mechanical engineering, said. The cleanup is a really good cause. We cleaned up all kinds of nasty stuff, Thomas said. I think the finished product is well worth the effort though. Caine Kreimendahl, philanthropy chair and sophomore in business administration, said members found unusual things on the highway. It was a fun time because we found weird stuff in the trash, he said. It was gross. We found bottles people had peed in and threw out the window, and there were nasty magazines all over. The cleanup brought a realization of drunk driving on the highways, Kreimendahl said. You find lots of beer bottles on the highway, he said. It ' s like, ' God, people drink and drive out here. ' All of them were 40s. It was pretty gross. With 35 members involved in the cleanup, every beer can, Marlboro package and other waste was eliminated from the roadside, Kreimendahl said. We picked up a ton of trash. Everyone at least filled a bag, he said. I would say there were more than 30 bags of trash. The two-mile walk on the sides of I-70 took most of the afternoon, Thomas said. It doesn ' t take much time, he said. I think many more people should get involved in this cause. I-70 gets pretty junky. The Flint Hills Breadbasket food drive took place the last week of November. When the boxes arrived from Flint Hills Breadbasket, Phi Kapp ' s not only encouraged their house to participate but ventured into their surrounding neighborhood, Kreimendahl said. We went out and handed out fliers to our neighbors, he said. We basically said, ' Hey, if you have some extra stuff, just walk in the front door of our house and drop it in the boxes. Kevin Dill, sophomore in business administration, said the food drive was beneficial because a lot of food would go to waste if it was not given away. We basically gave away a lot of the food we had left over when we went on break, he said. Most of it would have just sat in the refrigerator and rot if we didn ' t give it away, so it ' s helping us out as much as it is helping them. Some of the food was necessary to give away, Dill said. We have this new cook, and she would go out and buy weird food that nobody would eat, Dill said. She bought 40 pounds of canned yams and 30 boxes of frozen broccoli. We had a lot of fun giving that away. The food drive was well received by the members, Thomas said. The house did a really good job. I think we filled all of the boxes we were given to fill, Thomas said. We went through the pantry with our cook. Anything she thought we didn ' t need, we donated. It was gross. We found bottles people had peed in and threw out the window, and there were nasty magazines all over.

JR dream works benefits from the facts of life by d. scott fritchen when Pi Beta Phi sorority decided to begin a new philanthropy February 1997, they wanted to offer a chance for the greek community to be different, creative and comical. Thus, the Wildcat Variety Showdown, an event that allowed fraternities and sororities to compete in a comedy contest for one night, was developed. Greek organizations spent 10 minutes acting out scenes and interjecting obscure phrases given by Pi Phi members into skits, which were centered around the theme, Facts of Life. We just wanted to do something that let people be creative, something different that nobody else had thought of, Heather Wagner, Pi Phi president and senior in elementary education, said. It is an amazing production, and we hope to bring it to the community to watch. Although starting a philanthropy involved taking risks, since involvement was critical to its success, Wagner said she anticipated participation to grow in the second-annual event. We weren ' t sure what to expect, Wagner said. Because of last year ' s success, those houses that participated will work harder this year, and those that didn ' t participate will want to get involved this year. Pi Phi and Alpha Tau Omega fraternity continued the philanthropy after an initial year of unbridled success. They raised about $2,500 for the Dream Factory, an ATO member who needed an organ transplant and Arrowmont School of Arts and Crafts — Pi Phi ' s national philanthropy — Liz Carson, Pi Phi philanthropy chair and senior in management, said. We had so much luck with it, Carson said. We raised more money than we ever thought we would in our first year. Wagner said Pi Phi was approached by the ATOs to coordinate the philanthropy. In a matter of two months, organization and preparation efforts were complete. A total of six sororities and five fraternities competed before a panel of judges at McCain Auditorium for individual awards and an overall award for the best presentation. I was impressed with the number of people who were involved, Bettine Rezac, Pi Phi member and senior in industrial engineering, said. Even audience members participated and had a good time. Delta Delta Delta sorority won the overall award by personalizing scenes from the movie National Lampoon ' s Vacation to K-State during their skits. The event featured sty le points for creativity, originality, number of T-shirts bought to support the philanthropy and just showing up. Additionally, each was required to sing. It ' s so much fun, Rezac said. It ' s fun laughing at everyone on stage for a good cause. pi beta phi.405 greek organizations pi beta phi De la Torre, Lindsey Topeka Kinesiology SO Deardorff, Rebecca Overland Park, Kan.

Park Resources Mngt. SR pikes get ideas from conventions by aaron fruehling pi Kappa Alpha fraternity members won an award for going further than anyone else — at least on the road. Winning the Man Miles award at the Pike ' s Springfield, Mo., regional conference in December was a high point of the road trip. The Pikes won the award for having the best representation at the conference, Julio Guerrero, public relations chair and sophomore in architecture, said. We won the Man Miles award because we took the most men, Guerrero said. We were one of the fraternities farthest away from Springfield. It was a six-hour drive, and we took 12 guys. That was quite a bit, and for the miles we traveled, we got that award. The regional conference dealt with improving the image of fraternities as a whole, Guerrero said. It was mainly the Pi Kappa Alpha regional fraternities in the midwest area at the Holiday Inn, he said. They had seminars and speeches about risk management, rush chairmen and the problems that are going on in fraternities and sororities right now. It was just what we can do to make fraternities and sororities look good in today ' s society since they ' ve been getting a lot of bad play with alcohol and all that other stuff. Their philanthropy, Beach Bash, entered its ninth year, and since no new community service projects were in development, the conference became a source of ideas for the future. Other ideas were about recruiting new members, Guerrero said. I learned a lot, he said. We had this speech on rush, rush chairmen, and what they focused on was how everybody in the fraternity could be a rush chairman, not just the guys who were appointed to do it. I also learned from the various stuff they had on risk management and how there are problems with alcohol and how to go about trying to stop doing that. In addition to the regional conference, Matt Marron, president and junior in mass communication, and Luke Trotta, rush chair and junior in civil engineering, spent Jan. 9-11 at the Pi Kappa Alpha Presidents ' conference. The national event provided additional ideas, Marron said. I learned a lot about leadership, he said. There were two or three seminars about it and different approaches to handling 18-year-olds versus 22-year-olds, because that ' s usually the range in a fraternity. Different ages require different styles of rewards and punishments. Providing seminars for rush chairmen was a recent addition to the conference, Marron said This is the second year they ' ve done it, but they offered a rush chairman summit to go along with it, he said. He went to different meetings. We went to one or two of the same meetings, like the kickoff meetings, but mainly he went to the rush seminars. Those seminars helped in creating new plans for rush, Trotta said. A lot of what I learned, I can really apply in terms of developing a new rush program, Trotta said. Especially with recruiting individuals from everywhere and motivating my own brothers to think about rush and realize it ' s what keeps the fraternity going. The seminars were about what we had to do to make our fraternities better.

Disorders SO changing strategies helps rush by barbara hollingsworth modifying rush strategies brought more men into the Pi Kappa Phi fraternity, and changing the chapter ' s associate program kept more of those men at the end of the semester. I think it ' s good for morale to see most of the rooms completely full, Mike Stecher, president and senior in pre-medicine, said. It ' s good for the guys to have a big group. It brings us closer together. In the fall, the Pi Kaps had 16 associate members. Tim Lindemuth, chapter adviser and director of alumni publications, said fall brought one of the chapter ' s largest pledge classes since he began advising in 1991. He said the men ' s ability to market the house led to the increase. The main thing was the organization and the presentation of materials, Lindemuth, who was awarded Pi Kap Chapter Adviser of the Year, said. We ' ve done a lot of work in developing a marketing plan or strategy, and along with that, we ' ve improved our rush publications to better display what we have to offer prospective members. Previously, we would have a fact sheet that we would just Xerox or photocopy, he said. We developed a professionally printed booklet with photographs that would better represent what we had. Men also increased numbers through monthly parties spring semester 1997. The parties were one addition Stecher said the men would continue. I think we have rush parties that actually let guys get to know more of the guys in the house, Phil Beatty, associate educator and sophomore in communication sciences and disorders, said. Our rush parties allow a lot of interaction with our guys. Through keeping alumni informed about by barbara hollingsworth the chapter, Lindemuth said they were able to help with the parties and other aspects of rush. That ' s been one of my goals, he said, to get more alumni involved in volunteering to sponsor a rush site for different events or opening their home for the rush chairman to stay at their house when they make visits around the state. In past years, Stecher said the house had retained as few as 30 percent of its associate members fall semester. In 1996, they kept 50 percent, but in the fall, they retained 75 percent of the associates who began the semester. The retention could be attributed to changes in the associate education program, Lindemuth said. We ' ve revamped our membership education program and shortened it from 15 weeks to about eight weeks, he said. This is a national trend that is happening, that your membership education program is drastically shortening. The chapter also pushed associates to keep their grades high by implementing campus hours and study groups, Stecher said. We had campus hours so that way they had to get up and be out on campus, he said. We found that in the past, guys were sleeping in and missing class. Belonging to a smaller chapter sometimes meant more work and burnout for members, Stecher said, but retaining so many associates made members feel accomplished. They may not see it all the time, but you could see at the end of the semester, when almost everyone makes grades, it was worth it, he said. It was a really great feeling to know we changed things for the better when so many guys stayed. pi kappa phi.411 greek organzations. pi kappa phi Elpers, Grant Garden City, Kan.

As a football team manager, Chris Esquibel, house vice president and junior in sociology, assisted the team and coaches on the field while Colin Sorenson, sophomore in arts and sciences, captured the team ' s moves on video. They said basic knowledge of the game was the only prerequisite for the job. I had to step right into it, Sorenson said. You learn as you go, and it ' s not that difficult. Through connections with people already working for the team, the two members found jobs watching a sport they admired. I just love football. All I do on Saturdays and Sundays is watch football, Esquibel said. I played football in high school, and I couldn ' t play anywhere after school, so when I went to the (K-State) games as a fan, I wished I could be down there doing something. Sorenson said coaches used videos he shot to compare the Wildcats to other teams and get the upper hand on game strategies. He received a behind-the-scenes view of the team through his camera lense. It ' s interesting to be associated with the team because you know what is going on with the team and its activities before other students, Sorenson said. It is exciting to watch the players progress and see how much effort they give to make it to the starting line-up. You get to know them more as people than as players. Working on the field created challenges he did not face in the stands, Esquibel said. I was used to cheering for the team, but on the field there is no celebrating. It ' s all business, he said. You also have to get used to crowds at away games that heckle the team and people who work on the sidelines. In his third year working with the team, Esquibel said his duties went beyond assisting the head of defensive tackles with equipment and drills during practice. He said carrying responsibility on the field reflected the capabilities of the SAE house. Having us involved with the team helps show that our house is responsible, Esquibel said. The house likes to have fun, but when there ' s business to be done, we get it done. Alex Judd, house president and senior in management, agreed Esquibel and Sorenson represented the house well. Anytime you can get involved with the university, it helps with the house morale, Judd said. Their positions speak well of who they are, and they do it well. That ' s what we like to see in fraternities and their members. It ' s fun to go out with guys close to the team. It gives us the inside scoop.

The Sigma Chi ' s hosted their annual national Leadership Training Workshop Aug. 6-10. More than 1,300 undergraduate officers attended the workshop in McCain Auditorium and the K-State Student Union. The chapter was honored to be the host, Brian Olsen, undergraduate coordinator and senior in biology, said. The conference is held at different undergraduate chapters each summer, Olsen said. This year we were glad to say they picked Kansas State University. Behind-the-scenes work kept members busy preparing, Chris Cole, senior in construction science and management, said. It was a lot of work, Cole said. We found out in March of last year we would be doing this. We basically cleaned out the house and made everything look nice. Preparation included work for the national fraternity, Olsen said. We did a lot of the leg work for the general fraternity, Olsen said. We helped them out in their office, opened up our house for tours if they wanted to visit our chapter, and we ran a shuttle from KCI Airport to Manhattan. Motivational speakers were a highlight of the convention, Olsen said. Last year Mike Ditka spoke. This year we had Missouri Senator Ike Skelton speak, and every year they have a guy named Mike Green, who isn ' t a Sigma Chi, speak, Olsen said. He gave a really good presentation. David Butts, president and senior in mechanical engineering, said Mike Green ' s speech was an outstanding portion of the workshop. He spoke on the dangers of alcohol and drug abuse, Butts said. He added some humor into his speech. I think he was real effective, and everybody enjoyed him a lot. During the workshop, members took part in a philanthropy for Children ' s Miracle Network, Olsen said. It was really neat, because we were on TV, Olsen said. We got to participate in it with the chapters, which was neat also. It shows everyone cares, even outside of their own chapters. The chapter also helped Kansas defy its bad rap, Olsen said. The undergrads really enjoyed K-State. They got to visit the town and Aggieville, Olsen said. I think probably a lot of them thought, ' Gosh, you know we ' re going to Kansas, the middle of nowhere. ' But really, I think when they left they had a sense of the great atmosphere we have here at K-State and of the great chapter of Sigma Chi ' s we have here. It ' s nice to have a chance to show off a little and be proud of what we have here in Kansas.

Members postponed pledging the women for a week to allow them time to contemplate their decision to join the sorority. A lot of people sometimes don ' t know what they want when they go through rush -if they want to join a sorority or if they can financially do it, Malinda Settle, vice-president of pledge education and senior in elementary education, said. Our nationals said we could wait a week because it is in our national policy, so we decided to wait a week. In past years the sorority lost five to eight new members before initiation six weeks a fter bid day. Members said by postponing pledging, they helped women who were unsure about joining, Settle said. After the week of rush a lot of people are homesick, and it gives them a chance to go home, be with their families and talk it over with their parents, Settle said. Sometimes just taking a break and stepping back from things lets you look at them in a different light. Nicole Bales, freshman in apparel marketing and design, said having the extra week was beneficial to new members. It gave us extra time to get to know more of the girls, Bales said. It allowed time to gain insight as to what the sorority is like so you were sure it ' s what you really wanted. However, Jenni Latzke, sophomore in agricultural journalism, said the excess time was not necessary for her. It was never a question for me, she said. I liked the house and wanted to be a part of it. For me, the extra week was just another week. For the first time in Sigma Kappa history, none of the new members depledged, and all 41 women were initiated, an accomplishment for the house, Settle said. Each year our chapter makes out three goals of w hat we want to accomplish. One of them was to have high initiation rates, Settle said. Whenever you have high initiation rates it means each of the needs of the girls were met, whether you helped them out with finances or with scholarships or making the adjustment to school. Each member in our chapter made it their responsibility to help out each new member so we could have the initiation rate. Settle said the biggest advantage of waiting was it gave the women a chance to gain more insight to the house before committing. That week we had all of the girls over to the house and showed them around to their classes so they could see the kinds of things we do together, Settle said. It let them know they were welcome, and this is something they would want to be a part of. sigma greek organizations Carey, Christa Countryside, Kan. Journalism Mass Comm.

Business Administration SO house mom prepares for med school by erik Buehler as a student by day, and Sigma Nu ' s house mom by night, Becky Klingler lived a double life. Klingler, 33, began living in duality 12 years ago as a K-State administrator while working on her master ' s degree in agricultural economics. After completing her masters, she accepted a job working for the lieutenant governor in Topeka but wasn ' t satisfied with her position. What they wanted and what I was hired to do turned out to be entirely two different things, Klingler said. So I decided to come back to school. Originally intending to return to school in five years, Klingler moved up her plans by four years. She began looking for a way to finish paying for graduate school while saving money as she prepared to apply for medical school. Medical school is very expensive, and I didn ' t want to accrue a lot of debt before I hit med school, Klingler said. I was just kind of joking around with my dad one day, and my dad just jokingly said, ' Why don ' t you just go be a house mom? ' So I looked into it. Klingler ' s brief time away from the university made her appreciate students. I think one thing I learned when I was in Topeka for a year and away from the university is how complacent people get when they are not around students and how much energy students give people, Klingler said. I really missed working with students, and I felt like the creativity level there was a lot less because there were no students. After leaving her job in Topeka, she applied to houses looking for house moms and was finally hired by Sigma Nu fraternity before the fall semester. While preparing for medical school, she balanced a full class schedule with the demands of being a house morn. I ' m a student without a major, Klingler said. I ' m taking a full course load every semester because there are a lot of things I feel personally I need to catch up on because I haven ' t had these things in a long time. Klingler was Sigma Nu ' s youngest house mom. That raised questions in the minds of some members, but her cheerful attitude, intelligence and willingness to help quickly erased all doubts, Reggie Hanna, president and student in architectural engineering, said. I was a little curious at first with her being so young, but I think it ' s actually been a benefit. Hanna said. A lot of the guys in the house can relate with her more. She seems almost like a real mom, being that age. She ' s been fabulous and is definitely the best house mom experience I ' ve had. Her life of duality also paid off for Sigma Nu members academically. Because she was taking refresher courses, she occasionally would take the same classes as fraternity members and participated in study sessions or helped tutor. One of my students was actually one of my lab partners in a class, Klingler said. It took the instructor a few class periods before she could figure out why this guy was calling me mom. Her vibrant personality and love of working with students stood out in her everyday interaction with members, Dusty Duling, junior in hotel and restaurant management, said. She hangs out with the guys more than any other house mom, Duling said. They ' d just shut the door, and you ' d see them at dinner, and that ' s about it. She interacts, goes to all the events and gets involved with helping you out. She ' d do just about anything for you. 420.sigma nu greek organizations sigma nu Devore, Kevin Manhattan Architectural Engineering Duling, Dustin.... Michigan Val ley, Kan. Hotel Restaurant Mngt.

Industrial Engineering SR fraternity rebound yields formal affair by barbara hollingsworth for five years, Sigma Phi Epsilon fraternity members had not had their own formal. But in the fall, alumni and parent support allowed 80 members and their dates to attend the Nov. 15 formal for free. Their hardest part was finding a date, Greg Davis, 1997 president and senior in marketing, said. Once they had a date, they were locked into a good time. Thanks to about $13,000 in donations, members and their dates were provided a free dinner at the Westin Crown Center in Kansas City, Mo., and party favors. We had the formal come together where we didn ' t have to pay for anything, Matt Craig, social chairman and junior in milling science management, said. The only thing they had to pay for was a hotel room if they wanted one. The financial support rewarded the men for the house ' s turnaround, Davis said. We had a setback last year, and we ' ve made a lot of improvements, Davis said, referring to the house ' s probation for having an unregistered party fall 1996. We had a good rebuilding year. We thought it would be a great way to reward the guys for all their hard work. That hard work included members earning the chapter ' s highest grade point average with a 3.05 and completing more than 6,000 hours of community service spring semester 1997. They also entered fall semester with the second largest fraternity and the largest new member class. To solicit alumni support, organizers sent 140 letters to alumni discussing their improvements and requesting a $10 donation. While most of the funding came from alumni, fathers also donated a combined $680 during dad ' s weekend. Part of the money went toward making a 150-picture video to show at the formal. It was more of an emotional, inspirational video, Davis said. We made sure each and every guy who had been in the house since 1994 was in it. The guys gave it a standing ovation. At the formal, Davis also awarded four individual awards to men who had helped improve the chapter. Later in the evening, to Davis ' surprise, he received his own award. It was kind of screwy and almost made me cry, Davis said. They gave me a plaque with a little gavel on it, and it said, ' Excellence in Leadership Award. ' Because he was in front of his date, Davis said he held back the emotions members meant to bring out. We fabricated an award so he could get up and talk on the stage, Jason Forgy, December graduate in finance, said. We tried to get him to cry, but he wouldn ' t. The awards and video added meaning and class to the formal, Davis said. It wasn ' t, ' Just drive to Kansas City and party, ' he said. It was to reward the guys for the year before and the progress they made. 422.sigma phi epsilon greek organizations sigma phi epsilon Drew, Jason Overland Park, Kan.

SO one-hunderd years provides celebration by leslie elsasser one-hunderd years and more than 100 chapters later, year-long activities promoted Sigma Sigma Sigma sorority ' s centennial anniversary April 20. Tri Sigma members celebrated the centennial by participating in activities that benefited others, Chelsea Earhart, spring centennial chair and sophomore in journalism and mass communication, said. One-hundred years is a big deal, she said. We wanted to show even though we ' re celebrating for us personally, we ' re helping others. To celebrate the centennial, organized events to promote reading among children. The centennial theme was Sigma Shares a Story, and it included anything to do with reading, Kelli Benjamin, sophomore in business administration, said. At our semi-formal, everyone was supposed to bring Little Golden Books as a ticket to get in, Benjamin said. They were donated to All Tri Sigma chapters participated in the reading program, and through the program, members went to schools or daycares and read to children. The program was not as successful as members hoped, Emily Greer, fall sisterhood and centennial chair and senior in elementary education, said. All year long we ' ve been doing Sigma Shares a Story, she said. We set up a time where we read to children. I ' m calling schools and any place that works with kids, but we ' re having problems setting it up. Many places have had groups say they ' ll come and read and then back out two months later, she said. I call them over and over to make them see we ' re serious. Members also promoted reading by donating books to libraries. We ' re making white bags and putting sailboats on them, and we ' re putting books in them, Greer said. Then we ' re donating the bags to libraries. Tri Sigma members ' emphasis on reading related to their philanthropy, which was to help children. Kids are really important, Greer said. It ' s important to read to them. They will be here when we aren ' t. Events commemorating the centennial were planned around Founder ' s Day. We ' re having a banquet on Founder ' s Day, Earhart said. We ' re planning to have a big formal and asking alumnae to attend. Tri Sigma ' s national convention, slated for July near the sorority ' s headquarters in Woodstock, Va., caused members to work towards an award given by the national organization, Earhart said. We made a banner to hang in the convention hall with the other banners from every chapter, she said. We have to meet minimum requirements to win, which are completing the banner, doing Sigma Shares a Story and having a Founder ' s Day program. Presidents of every chapter were required to attend the conference, and Benjamin said she looked forward to the trip. It think it ' s going to be neat to meet a lot of people and hear stories, Benjamin said. There will probably be a nice banquet at the end to tie into the centennial. It will be neat. It will be a good chance to take everyone back to reality and reaffirm why Tri Sigma is important to people, she said. It will be a good experience for the young and old. To let students know about the centennial, and to offer information about Tri Sigma, press releases would be sent out near Founder ' s Day, Greer said. We ' ve been here since we recolonized (in 1996), she said. We want to give people a chance to learn about us and see we can be as good as everyone else, if not better. The rituals have stayed the same. The ritual book was written 100 years ago, but the traditions have stayed the same.

Business Administration FR experience helps to increase rush by leslie elsasser Anytime you find quality guys to keep the house going is important. Jared Jackson junior in finance two rush chairmen, one with two years experience, helped Tau Kappa Epsilon fraternity increase the fall pledge class by 30 percent over the previous year. Twenty-six men joined the fall pledge class, an increase of about six men from 1996. The increase exceeded expectations, Mike Branson, 1997 president and senior in milling science and agricultural economics, said. I think we ' ve had quality rush chairmen, Branson said. They take a lot of time to research guys and take an interest and show them what our house can do for them to help through their college career. Having one rush chairman with previous experience helped when they organized rush parties and helped them get to know potential members, Jared Jackson, rush chair and junior in finance, said. It was Steve Eck ' s second year doing it, he said. It helped a lot because he ' d been through a lot. He ' d seen mistakes and was able to correct them To start the rush process, members recommended men they knew to invite to parties, Jackson said. We have three major rush parties, and the first one is in December, he said. We send out letters to see if they ' re interested, invite them to come down and keep in contact with them. First, we try to sell the greek system, and then tell them good things about the house. During spring 1997, members attended high school sporting events to encourage men to join. When they talked to men, members told them what the house could offer , Branson said. I was an athlete in high school, and they have good athletics, Dustin Small, freshman in chemical engineering, said. They ' ve won (intramurals) 13 out of the last 15 years. I was a good student in high school; everyone in the house is a good student. They ' re a good group of guys, and I wanted to be a part of it. The sophomore pledge class had about 20 returning members, so the TKEs had a strong base when they tried to recruit new members, Branson said. Low numbers bring on a fear to get more guys, which adds pressure. We didn ' t have that this year, he said. Numbers weren ' t as important this year when you don ' t have it looming in your mind. Even though the TKE house did not lose men from the sophomore pledge class, getting new members was still important for the house, Jackson said. Every year rush is important, he said. We had lost some really good seniors. Anytime you find quality guys to keep the house going is important. Having strong pledge classes was the key to success Trey Hurtig, junior in management information systems, said. Without rush, a house is nothing, he said. If you don ' t rush any pledges, you don ' t fill the seniors ' spots, and you ' re in trouble. Encouraging the rush chairmen while they tried to find men to join the house was important, Branson said. I support the rush chairmen and ask them how things are going, and let them know I am behind them all the way, he said. It ' s a great feeling to see guys in the fall knowing they want to be there and are interested in the fraternity where I grew up and live. 426.tau kappa epsilon greek organizations tau kappa epsilon Cox, Christopher.. ...... ........... ............ ......

Chemical Engineering JU scholars look to new horizons by barbara hollingsworth being No. 1 for the second year in a row came as no surprise for Theta Xi fraternity members. In July, six members traveled to Scottsdale, Ariz., where they took home the Theta Xi national memorial trophy, their second in a row and fifth in six years. The trophy was awarded annually to the No. 1 chapter and recognized scholarship, finance, alumni involvement, chapter management and ritual. I think it ' s kind of a source of pride for us because it ' s something to look forward to every year, Aaron Ball, 1997 president and senior in mechanical engineering, said. We don ' t want to fall back from that. It ' s something to rally around during the year. We use it as a focus point. Ball said the national organization used the chapter as a model for how things should be done at the summer competition. They ' ve had this competition with the same grading criteria for the past couple of years, Ball said. They wanted to get more chapters involved, so they used us as a representative of that. The chapter ' s accomplishments made them easily recognized by the other 55 Theta Xi chapters, Sam Halabi, 1997 scholarship chair and junior in political science, said. The men ' s notoriety gave them opportunities to initiate members into new chapters and serve as role models to Theta Xi ' s around the country, Luke Deets, 1998 scholarship chairman and freshman in architectural engineering, said. A lot of chapters are encouraged by nationals to come visit us and see what we ' re like, Deets said. We make sure we have guys to go to all the regional and national conventions. There ' s a lot of chapters who talk to nationals, and they recommend them to come to us to learn how to become better and strengthen themselves. One recommendation the chapter made was a no-hazing policy. Halabi said once men joined the fraternity, they were treated as equals. We think that rush is the time when you make the decisions, Halabi said. When you come into the house we expect a lot of them, but they don ' t have to prove themselves to anyone but maybe themselves. Another chapter policy led to the chapter ' s 13-semester stint with the highest all-fraternity GPA. That record related to the men ' s rushing strategies, Halabi said. It all starts with scholarship. That ' s why you come to college, and I think that ' s why we ' re so successful, Halabi said. We look for a higher GPA — a 3.0 to 3.5 for new members. That ' s really set a trend for other chapters. Another trend, Halabi said, was the chapter ' s relationship with the community. One of the things that really sets us apart is a really big community outreach, he said. Like having a Christmas event where we can invite faculty and neighbors and show our appreciation to them. For members, their success was preserved by rushing a high caliber of men into the house. Deets said the award impressed him when he rushed the house. To me it showed this house wasn ' t here to mess around, he said. Coming in, I knew the guys who were in this house were doing something right. I think the best way to fight complacency is to always ask yourself, ' Where can we go from here?

Landscape Architecture SR relocation forces triangle to new birth by amy bickel triangle fraternity members said to 34 years of memories when they put their house up for sale. Triangle ' s house, formally at 221 N. Delaware Ave., closed in the summer as members moved to 1008 Ratone St. Alumni and members said it was more economical to move into a smaller house rather than pay for the up-keep of their 100-year-old house. The house needed a lot more work than we were willing to put into it, Tim Danner, new member trainer and senior in architectural engineering, said. It was in need of renovation. Members contemplated the option of moving for a year and finally decided fixing the old house would have cost more than the chapter could afford. Danner said the 21-member chapter was in a transition stage, and it will be easier to rebuild membership in a smaller house. The old house could have about 45 members. Members ' goal was to get back to that total by the year 2002. At that time, we ' re looking into building or buying a new house, Scott Townsend, internal vice president and senior in architectural engineering, said. The house we have now will hold around 10 members. Because of the old house ' s expenses, most members were receptive to the move. Most everyone realized we needed to move, Townsend said There are always a few who don ' t want to change, but they are coming to see the advantages of it. Alumni purchased one main house with two annexes behind it on the same lot. Six members lived there fall semester. This house is easier to maintain financially, Danner said. It ' s a fresh start. Size, history, character — that ' s all stuff this house can develop little by little. We ' ve got to give it some time. Aaron Fish, external vice president and senior in history, who lived in the old house for three years, said he didn ' t like the idea of moving at first. There are a lot of memories at that house, he said. My first years at school were in that house. One of the memories was of the President ' s Porch, which overlooked most of Manhattan. It ' s one of the best views in the area, he said. We were always up there smoking cigars and hanging out. It was an extremely cool place. With the number of members the fraternity had, the decision to move was for the best, Fish said. I ' m happy with the house we have, he said. We have new life, wind in our sails and direction. We know where we ' re headed and where we need to be. It ' s a fresh start. Size, history, character — that ' s all stuff this house can develop little by little.

That ' s about 1 6 of the residents. Eric Figge freshman in mechanical engineering the addition of a second residence hall on the Salina Campus opened the door to leadership opportunities for students. Harbin Hall opened in the fall, and its 50 rooms created space for an additional 100 students. The new hall brought the residence halls ' population to 150 and sparked interest in student leadership through the formation of a Hall Governing Board. One of the things we really want to do is create a solid leadership force within the halls, Mariana Lebron, coordinator of student life, said. Students want to be seen as competent leaders who can really make a difference on the campus as a whole. In the original residence hall, constructed in 1994, an HGB was established, but it was later disbanded due to a lack of student interest. When you manage one hall, it ' s pretty easy. Now, with two halls, there are more people, different ideas and other things we can develop, Roger Steinbrock, assistant director of college advancement, said. We had to develop some leaders before we could actually implement things. As time goes on, we ' ve gotten some key students in positions who are leaders. Now is the first time when we could say, ' OK, this is what we are going to do, ' and stick to it. The HGB rewrote the original hall constitution and made it specific to the needs of their campus. Some of the stuff the previous Hall Governing Board had in it doesn ' t really make sense to us because we ' re not that big, Kevin Herndon, freshman in airway science, said. We ' re a small campus, and we need to make the constitution relevant to us. The HGB also hoped to attract new students to the campus, Lebron said. They see it as part of their role to look at the area of recruitment and retention of students, she said. They see themselves as working with the administration, faculty and staff who generally are viewed as the ones solely responsible for bringing in more students. HGB wanted to provide a way for the residents to make changes in the halls, Eric Figge, freshman in mechanical engineering technology, said. We ' d like to improve student life and try to keep students involved any way we can, he said. The students now have a system they can go through to voice their opinions. It ' s taken a lot of time to set things up. We still aren ' t where we ' d like to be. We are still working on the constitution. 432.k-state-salina off campus abel-beier Abel, Renita Riley, Kan.

Some of the residents of the GOAT house included Jerron Bray, junior in construction science and management; Nolan Fisher, sophomore in park resources management; Drew Overmiller, sophomore in architectural engineering; and Chris Masters, junior in business administration. The men named their house the GOAT house for Good Ol ' Alcoholic Time. (Photo by Clif Palmberg) 436 off campus goat house no goat, but house ' s name sticks by linda albers shuffling bodies filled the fenced backyard as the crowd pushed towards three tapped kegs. Two guys sat on a dilapidated couch in overgrown grass and watched The Blues Brothers, while others danced to music blaring from the radio. More than 100 people created a hum of noise at the GOAT House party. The GOAT House, which stood for Good Alcoholic Time, was a beer-drinking association started in August when six students moved into 617 Laramie. The name originated when the roommates wanted to buy a goat and have it graze in the backyard to eliminate the need for a lawn mower. When they had a meeting to decide on a house name, someone suggested the GOAT House. We never got a goat, but the name sounded good, so we stuck with it, Chris Masters, junior in business administration, said. The men got the idea to form a beer-drinking association by attending parties of the College Pro Keggers and the Alcoholic Beverage Association, Chris McCarthy, sophomore in anthropology, said. Those organizations were known for their huge parties. I guess you could say ABA members were our role models freshman year, McCarthy said. I haven ' t seen a party outside a fraternity with more people than ours, except for probably ABA. The roommates said they had to throw parties because of the house ' s reputation, Ryan Fisher, junior in manufacturing systems engineering, said. The neighbors told us this has been a big party house for the last 10 years or so, Fisher said. With its big backyard and high fence, it ' s perfect for parties. For the first GOAT House party, members contributed an initial investment of $20 to $50 each, bought three kegs and reserved five extra kegs at the liquor store. Everyone was assigned a specific duty, such as playing music, organizing public relations, buying ice or working at the gate. To prepare for parties, the guys locked the house and formed a cattle chute to the bathroom. They met the morning of parties to make last-minute decisions. They also preapproved parties with neighbors to decrease the chances for noise complaints. The time spent preparing for the parties was a worthwhile investment, Fisher, sophomore in park resource management, said. By charging $3 per person, the group brought in $1,100 at the first party, earning a $480 profit. We all got our initial investment back, and the profit went into a savings account, Nolan Fisher, sophomore in park resources management, said. The money in the account will be used to pay for future parties. The members said after the profitable success of the first party, they believed future parties would also be worthwhile. That first party was a gamble, Mas ters said. We all knew that going in. The only gamble now is whether the cops will bust us or not, Jerron Bray, junior in construction science and management, said. While residents did not agree on the reason they threw the parties, McCarthy said it was for the profit. This is capitalism at its finest, he said. It ' s a way to make money and to have people over. Nolan Fisher argued the purpose was purely social. This is a great place to socialize if you ' re not involved with the greek system, he said. People can drink anywhere. They come here to meet people. off campus.437 off campus crago-eckermann Crago, Michelle Shawnee, Kan. Community Service JU Crawley, Matthew Silverlake, Kan. Physics JU Crawshaw, Amber Olpe, Kan.

Elementary Education JU off campus.441 off campus married residents honey mooning in haymaker by sarah irick a marriage prayer hanging on the wall differentiated the apartment from the other 30 rooms on Haymaker Hall ' s fifth floor. After their honeymoon, Brent Marsh, resident life coordinator and graduate in student counseling and personal and his wife, Miranda, senior in life and community service, moved into Haymaker, one of two all-male residence halls. We were going to wait to get married, but when the option came in for him to take the assistant resident life coordinator position, we decided with the costs of apartments and everything, it would be better to get married now, Miranda said. Living on-campus is more convenient. We don ' t have to worry about paying for the gas it takes to drive to school, and it just provides better finances. Laura Widenor, West Hall resident life said married couples living in halls were common occurrences at other universities but not at K-State. This is a less common occurrence for resident life coordinators at K-State, said. This may even be the first time it ' s happened here. After their wedding June 7, Housing and Dining Services assigned the couple to which required adjustments, Brent said. At first, Miranda was a little Brent said. We moved in during the summer when most of the hall was closed so that gave us time to get used to the building. Living in an all-male hall did not alienate Miranda from female contact, Brent said. Many of the residents have girl visitors, so Miranda ' s not really the only woman in the building, Brent said. Miranda never had difficulties being the only permanent female resident in a hall with more than 400 males, she said. I don ' t have a problem here because I don ' t really interact with the guys, Miranda said. I ' m normally either in the apartment, in class or at work, so I don ' t really see many of them. Miranda said there were some moments that reminded her where she lived. One time there was a fire alarm at 1:30 in the morning, and we had to go outside, she said. There I was around all these guys in their pajamas. It was weird because I was the only girl standing around outside with all these guys. Residents found the situation more unusual than the couple did, Brent said. Sometimes I ' ll be talking to other students in the hall, and I ' ll tell them that my wife and I live together in the hall, and they ' re like `What? ' Brent said. I think it strikes them as more odd than it does myself. Tim Ketterman, freshman in business lived on the fifth floor and said the unusual situation did not bother the floor ' s residents. They aren ' t really showy about it. I didn ' t even realize she was living there until a few weeks into the semester, Ketterman said. It ' s cool that the school lets them do this. They both get to go to school and stay together, and that ' s hard to come by nowadays with apartments and school being so expensive. In addition to providing an inexpensive living as a couple in the hall also an escape, Brent said. One of the things I like about living in the hall is it ' s like I have my own little haven, Brent said. I can close the door and get away from things even though I ' m still in the hall. Having someone to go home to helped him get through the day ' s activities, Brent said. I normally try and keep my work at the office, but sometimes I need someone to talk to, Brent said. It ' s nice to have someone there I can talk to that ' s not a resident or a staff member. Despite the financial considerations and conveniences, Brent said the two looked to the day when they could live in a place of their own. He said there were always times when they needed more privacy or even a pet. It ' s strange, because you picture married people living in an apartment or house with a family. People don ' t really think of a dorm as a place where married people would like to live, Brent said. Moving out will come soon enough, but right now we ' re trying to finish up both of our educations, so it ' s working out to be a good deal for both of us. After their wedding June 7, Brent Marsh, graduate student in student counseling and personal services, and his wife, Miranda, senior in family life and service, made an apartment on the fifth floor of Haymaker Hall home. The two planned to live in residence halls for a few years after graduation as Brent pursued his career.

On Thursdays, when the show usually aired, Kracht wore a Seinfeld T- shirt. The fascination with the character Cosmo Kramer was reflected in the way Kracht styled his hair and in his mannerisms. (Photo by Jill Jarsulic) 448.seinfeld fan off campus by marla johnson door flew open, and a man with wild hair burst into the room and exclaimed Newman! The man was not Cosmo Kramer from the TV show Seinfeld, but Brad Kracht, sophomore in industrial engineering, and an avid Kramer and Seinfeld fan. Kramer is just so crazy and goes by the seat of his pants, Kracht said. He doesn ' t have any plans. He just goes. The Kramer look alike ' s fascination with Seinfeld began after he saw his first episode in eighth grade. His fascination grew, but Kracht said he could not pinpoint a specific reason why. I don ' t know what exactly it is about it, he said. It ' s just so funny and goes together. The characters are crazy, and I ' ve watched it for so long it ' s just a part of me. Throughout the seasons, Kracht had recorded about 160 different episodes on tape — all of which he stored in two shoe boxes in his bedroom. Although he had seen most of the episodes about 10 times, Kracht said he did not watch his tapes very often. I watched them at the beginning of the year before we had our cable hooked up, he said. I didn ' t have anything better to do, so I watched them probably four hours a day. Kracht ' s roommate, Gavin Budhram, sophomore in pre-medicine, said Kracht had consciously and sub-consciously picked up various Kramer mannerisms, like bursting through doors and saying phrases like Giddy- up. However, his most notable characteristic was his curly, light brown hair, which he styled in true Kramer fashion — standing straight up. Everybody knows him. They don ' t know him by name, but they know him by sight, Budhram said. I say I live with Brad Kracht, and they say they ' ve never heard of him before, so I say, ' He ' s the guy with the hair. ' Kracht ' s other roommate, Todd Pacey, sophomore in mass communication, said Kracht acted more like Kramer than he realized. Sometimes you don ' t know what the hell he is talking about and his ideas don ' t make sense, Pacey said. He runs into a lot of stuff and frequently yells very loudly. Each weeknight at 10:35, Kracht sank into the loveseat his roommates said was molded in the shape of his body, to watch his favorite show. I live with him, so at 10:35 every night we watch ' Seinfeld, ' Pacey said. I liked the show before. I just wasn ' t so ritualized in watching it. Although Kracht said some people viewed his fascination as strange, his roommates didn ' t find anything odd about it. Everyone has their hobby; his is just on TV, Pacey said. I don ' t think he goes crazy with it. He ' s just emulating Kramer. Kracht said those who knew him found his antics, like wearing one of his four Seinfeld T-shirts every Thursday, amusing. Mr. Albee (Kracht ' s 11th grade math teacher) said he always looked forward to seeing me on Thursday, Kracht said. He wanted to see if I got a new T-shirt. Since Kracht spent nearly eight hours a day watching television, he said he had become fond of shows like Frazier and Boy Meets World. However, he said his TV time did not conflict with his school work. I watch TV so much, it ' s all I ever do, Kracht said. If I have to do homework, I just go in my room for an hour and do it. Then I come back out and watch more TV. Although Kracht had other favorite TV shows, he was saddened by the announcement of the shows cancellation, but he was not worried. I think it was probably for the best. It has been going for about nine years now, Kracht said. I wasn ' t surprised because they have been talking about it for a while. I will be sad, though, because it won ' t be on anymore, but since I have them all on tape I can watch it whenever I want. Everybody knows him. They don ' t know him by name, but they know him by sight. I say I live with Brad Kracht, and they say they ' ve never heard of him before, so I say, ' He ' s the guy with the hair.

(Photo randon White) off campus by barbara hollingsworth some University Commons residents, the apartment complex was everything they had envisioned. For others, it fell short of their expectations. When residents at University Commons signed leases in spring 1997, they only had promises of what was to come in the fall. We came and found our lease when the place wasn ' t built so we just saw models, Kris Waymire, freshman in kinesiology, said. They told us we would have a large swimming pool, and it ' s rather small. We can do better. Maintenance problems were Waymire ' s main gripe against the apartments. He listed some of the problems he and his three roommates had encountered: broken grouting in the bathtub, a burnt oven seal and a broken garbage disposal. They ' re backlogged when we ask for things to be fixed, he said. It ' s come to the point that my dad just comes up and fixes things for us. Franki Smith, University Commons manager, estimated that out of the complex ' s 700 tenants, they had four who were unhappy. Of course, there ' s a few who we can ' t make happy, she said. We try to get everybody taken care of as soon as possible. I know it can sometimes seem like it takes forever to get things taken care of. With the apartment complex just opening in August, Smith said they still had problems. I guess since we are a new complex, you do encounter some construction problems, she said. They are pretty minimal in comparison to other problems I ' ve heard of people having in this area. Repairs were a matter of priority, Smith said. Hot water and electricity repairs were all things she said maintenance tried to repair within 24 hours. We have one maintenance person and 228 apartments, Smith said. We try to get to them as fast as we can. When Ben Falen, sophomore in milling science and management, and his roommates had problems with their fire alarms, he said they were fixed the next morning. We had some faulty fire alarms that would go off at 3 or 4 in the morning sporadically, he said. They just had someone come right out. Rebecca Thompson, senior in finance, said the apartments were cheaply built, but service was good. She said the apartment ' s benefits outweighed the disadvantages. The washer and the dryer in the apartment works out great, Thompson said. They have an exercise room, which I don ' t know of any other apartment that does in Manhattan. Safety features at the complex separated it from other apartments, Carrie Stricko, sophomore in elementary education, said. Panic buttons in the bedrooms and entry hall were a selling point for her father. It totally won him over, Stricko said. I get scared really easily, so it was nice to have that button in my room. Thank goodness I haven ' t had any use of it yet. Security guards also kept residents in check, Stricko said. The security guard who roams around has been really nice, she said. When we have noisy neighbors, they ' re really nice. If there ' s a wild party, they come up and check to make sure everything is OK. Dead bolts on bedroom doors provided another added security feature. Individual leases also gave residents security if a roommate moved out. If a roommate needs to leave, that is between us and the tenant, Smith said. Here the tenant is only responsible for a certain percentage of the common areas they share and their individual bedroom. The individual leases were just one benefit directed at the student tenets, which Smith estimated comprised 97 percent of University Commons ' renters. We ' re a little different from an apartment complex, she said. You don ' t necessarily have to be a student to live here, but it ' s student directed. With rental prices at $255 per person for a four-bedroom apartment or $310 per person for a two-bedroom apartment, Smith said they tried to underprice the residence halls. Having fully-furnished apartments was another benefit for students. After living in the dorms for one year and the sorority for two years, not a lot of us had furniture, Thompson said, so the option of living somewhere fully fu rnished for the price we ' re paying was a very good deal. Get-to-know-each-other parties, contests, a fitness room, sand volleyball courts and a computer lab were other ways University Commons catered to the younger crowd. Falen said the benefits made him want to live there until he graduated. It ' s pretty much the ultimate as far as living away, he said. It ' s kind of like a country club or a condominium because you have you could basically want or think of. 454.university commons University Commons became the newest apart- ment complex available to college students in the fall.

Carrie Hanning, senior in life span and human development, said after years of playing with the idea of forming a Christian home for college women, she and three other girls decided to implement the plan. It ' s always been an idea and kind of a joke to start a women ' s Lighthouse like the men ' s Lighthouse down the street, Hanning said. Some of us used to hang out at the guy ' s house, so we decided to give the women ' s house idea a try. Affiliated with the Christian organization Icthus, the house went by nicknames like the Spare Rib at first, but after none of them stuck, they decided to be the women ' s Lighthouse. The lighthouse is symbolic of Jesus ' s light, Rebecca Conley, sophomore in art, said. We try to demonstrate Christianity when people are at the house and when they aren ' t. Before coming together in the house, the roommates created a house mission to unify their goals. This is a place where we want to serve one another and our community by allowing people to come into our home and be comfortable, Hanning said. We want to set an example and witness to those who enter our home. With eight people living under one roof, differing personalities forced them to work together to achieve their goals. Creating a rotating chore list helped resolve some conflicts, Hanning said. Living with this many people pulls and stretches you a lot because it ' s not always easy with that many people, Hanning said. I ' m more the administrative type, and I pay close attention to detail. I ' ve had to learn that if there is a speck of dust there, then it will be OK. Conley said praying and discussing the differences in personalities helped the roommates see what was truly important. I used to get frustrated because I would come home to see that one of my roommates had taken my car without asking, Conley said. Then that roommate wrecked my car. When people find out about it they assume I ' m pretty mad at her, but I ' m not because I realized what was important was that she lived. by sarah irick Conley said living in the supportive atmosphere of the Lighthouse helped individual personalities emerge. Here, they don ' t expect me to wear khaki slacks and listen to Rich Mullens all the time, Conley said. I know where they ' re coming from because of a common bond with God. After living at home for her first year of college, Annie Moses, sophomore in biology, said the supportive atmosphere also helped her overcome some tough decisions. I ' ve always thought of the first time to move out of the house as a time to be at college and be independent, Moses said. If I would have lived in the dorms then I would have learned a lot about life and not about myself. Here, I ' m growing up in spirit and not just in life. Moses said living in a Christian household helped members avoid temptation and remain focused on their religion. We help point each other in the right direction because we all want the same thing, Moses said. In the dorms, I would have been more tempted to do things like drinking and partying, but here there ' s more support to do the right thing. This house is more like a mission than a place to live. Conley agreed the Christian household gave her experiences she could find nowhere else. When I wake up, I can hear people talking in the kitchen about what God has done in their lives that day, Conley said. I don ' t think I could wake up to that in the dorms. To keep the house focused on their goals, the women invited friends and other students over to watch movies, play games and hang out. We want to bring people here who are struggling and give girls who need a place to go somewhere to go, Moses said. We want to be role models, and we help each other live up to that. We help point each other in the right direction because we all want the same thing. In the dorms, I would have been more tempted to do things like drinking and partying, but here there ' s more support to do the right thing. This house is more like a mission than a place to live.

Around the corner, a gray backdrop and several lights were set up in front of a camera where John Blaker waited behind the lens. The girls fidgeted in their seats while they waited for instructions on how to sit for their picture. Click, click, click, click. It only took a moment to move on to the next model. Let ' s just put it this way, I have photographed students so long, everyone looks alike, Blaker said. The 1948 RP offered a glimpse into Blaker ' s earliest work. He returned to Manhattan to work for his brother ' s newly acquired Studio Royal after studying photography in Indiana. The previous owners had contracted with the yearbook for years and part of the studio ' s name credited the business received from the book. We have always had a good working relationship with the Royal Purple, Blaker said. We knew what they wanted, and we could provide it for them. RP photography included more than the individual student portraits for Blaker. He also took action shots for the athletic department in the 1940s and 1950s. I loved taking action pictures for the Royal Purple. At the time I was doing it, I knew all the football and basketball players, or nearly all of them, on a first-name basis, he said. I liked shooting the athletics, but shooting people was my primary focus. Blaker told the story of Sigma Chi fraternity members walking to the studio to get their pictures taken in 1949. He said the day was hot, and the men walked two blocks to the studio from their house dressed in white shirts, blue blazers and shorts. I watched two old ladies out in a car watching the boys go by. One of them said, ' They forgot their pants, ' he said laughing. The boys never knew. Blaker Studio did not work with the RP in the late 1970s and ' 80s when the RP decided to contract with national studios. The yearbook went through seven national studios and a potential lawsuit before rejoining Blaker. To John Blaker, we are more than just an account, Linda Puntney, Royal Purple adviser, said. He loves K-State as much as the staff does. The commitment to the university an d the staff is much greater than national studios who are out simply to make a buck. Blaker said the studio carried many accounts with the university, but the numbers dwindled over the years. Only about 15 K-State accounts remained with the studio. The truth is the Royal Purple is a loss leader, Blaker said. We make no money through the Royal Purple but have managed to pick up some sorority and fraternity composites through the connection, which proves to be more lucrative. In early years, Blaker said students were not so bogged down with activities and were more likely to get their picture taken. The students came to the studio to get their picture taken. Of the six to 7,000 students on campus, 5,000 were getting their picture taken, Blaker said. Yearbook was a big thing everyone looked forward to. It was a good way to find out what their blind dates looked like. Blaker left the business aspect of the studio to his daughter, Stacey, and her husband, Rick McCauley, on April 1, 1992 and limited himself to taking student portraits. Stacey, who never had formal training, said her father was her teacher. She went to work with him and learned techniques that helped her win her first photo competition when she was 15. He has instilled in me a love for photography, in general, and it helped me form my creative eye, Stacey said. He always told me to follow my dreams. I have a vision for this studio to survive for another generation. Stacey and her husband were in charge of the year-long activities of the RP account, but at 79, Blaker still worked at on-site picture sittings. He said working with young people kept him young. He had open heart surgery, and there was a period of time he couldn ' t be in the studio. He really loves his work, and I think it really hurt him to be away that long, Puntney said. I have never seen anyone love photography as much as John Blaker. The most rewarding part of his job was working with people, he said. When you take a picture of a person, it gives you a warm feeling of satisfaction, Blaker said. I want to get the best picture I can. I ' ve always approached it like I was recording for posterity. A photographer needs to try to find out everything about the subject so you can talk intelligently and create a common bond.

From 7 a.m. to 10:30 p.m., students used the Union ' s services whether buying one of the 480 beers sold each week or lis- tening to a concert by a local band. Concerts in McCain Auditorium featured dents from a variety of majors, but depended on the instruments owned by the Department of Music. for professional performers, such as the Count Basie Band, whose performance sold out all 1,815 tickets a week in advance. Bramlage Coliseum echoed with shouts and cheers as a sold-out crowd of 13,550 watched the men ' s basketball game against intrastate page rival Kansas. Students, alumni and members of the supported Wildcat athletics with time and financial Money helped keep students in good physical condition off the playing field as well.
