During the Kansas State Fair in Hutchinson, Kan., Sept. 8.17, College of Veterinary Medicine students operated a birthing center for livestock. Besides involving themselves in community activities like the fair, seniors worked around the clock, taking care of emergency situations in the animal hospital, as well as attending regular classes and keeping up with homework. Local legends passed down over the years resurfaced, bringing to light ghost stories of the past and present. Legends like Duncan, the fraternity pledge who died during an initiation ritual years ago, circulated throughout the community and the student body. The Department of Intercollegiate Athletics hired Teresa Slough as the first women ' s equestrian team head coach in the sport ' s inaugural season. The athletic department chose to add women ' s equestrian as the 16th varsit y sport in order to comply with Title IX regulations. For each home game, K-State students and Fans prepared to cheer on the Wildcats, sometimes rising early to be first in the stadium. ESPN College Gameday came to KSU 3
