Totaling 22,396 students, the student body shared roughly three square miles of land, creating a campus of diversity and uniqueness. Whether participating in sporting events, completing a class project or socializing in Aggieville, students played a distinct role in the lives of those they came into contact with. On Sept. 11 the nation was stunned when terrorists hijacked four airplanes and three crashed into symbols of American achievement. President Jon Wefald spoke to the student body that afternoon, ' The events of today will certainly have a personal impact on many of our students, faculty, staff and alumni who have friends or loved ones directly involved. It is important at times like this to come together as a K-State family to support each other and, above all, stay calm. Nationwide, citizens seemed to follow the same advice, banding together to grieve and show patriotism. American flags became standard on front porches, in car windows and even on T-shirts. Vamey ' s Book Store assistant manager predicted 40.000 T-shirts with a Powercat-shaped American flag screen would be sold to students, family members and a lumni across the nation. Vamey ' s donated proceeds to the American Red Cross. In search of a niche, students formed groups on campus incompassing similarities. Students sharing faith formed a new organization, Victory Campus Ministries. They learned the regist ration process, recruited members and struggled to make their club known. Students came together during other occasions with purpose guiding them. Marching band practiced twice every day in preparation for half-time shows at football games and competitions. Five students involved in the art program designed a 100• pound fiberglass cow for the CowParade in Kansas City, Mo. Winston Branch, associate professor of art, led the collaboration, creating A Moo in June. ' This will be a great way to show the diversityof the university ' s academic programs: Megan Christensen, senior in fine arts, said. Teamwork created quality products, whether in classroom activities or on the athletic field. The Department of Intercollegiate Athletics experienced a change March 16 when Athletic Director Max Urick announced his retirement after eight years at K-State. Tun Weiser, originally from Great Bend, Kan., assumed his duties July 1. Building relationships was an important aspect of college life. Students learned to network on the professional and personal levels. Members of fraternities and sororities sacrificed personal time for their houses. Pi Beta Phi women planned to volunteer one day at Meadowlark Hills, a local retirement community, and Hospice but maintained friendships with the senior citizens and continued volunteering year round. Uniting to aid those in need, students learned their individual interests weren ' t as important as the common cause.

Students left their purple in closets and donned red, white and blue. Flag poles carried both the American flag and the Powercat spirit flag in a show of patriotism and loyalty. With a single stunt, the cheer squad raised a crowd of thousands from their seats.

Three Rivers Kennedy was the first band to play in the competition in the Union Plaza Oct. 5. (Photo by Kelly Glasscock) Their name came from a road sign, they originated in a basement and their style came naturally. 1 saw a road sign my freshman year in south Texas on 1-37, Ben Gray, bass and vocals, said. it said Three Rivers Kennedy. ' l thought it had a ring. No meaning but a cool sound. We want to explain our meaning through our music. Gray, junior in electrical engineering; Brandon Eck, junior in fine arts; and Justin Peterson, junior in fine arts formed Three Riven Kennedy in May. A rock band with a punk influence, Three Rivers Kennedy played original works, such as Awake by Wednesday and State Line. Eck, guitar and vocals and Peterson, drums, began playing together in the eighth grade. We have listened to the old recordings and we were like, ' whoa we suck, Eck said. We would drive my family nuts. We would have 15 kids in the basement, and we thought we were cool. The pair came to K-State their freshman year and continued to play in a basement. As freshmen in Marisa Hall, Eck and Peterson had to store drums in a closet. Every Wednesday night, they hauled them down to rehearse. We had to go downstairs to the music room which was just a piano room and everyone was pissed, Eck said. It was the quiet dorm, and we were th e band in the basement. Eck and Peterson met Gray that same year, while looking (or others to start a band. Initially, Eck thought the bass player wasn ' t going to want to play with them. Ben had a beard and I thought he was a lot older than us, Eck said. We didn ' t think he would want to play with freshmen. But he did. The three teamed up with rapper, Kevin Regicr to create, Elemental, a punk rock band with a strong hip- hop influence. Their original song, Scandalous Nature° was on the KSDB- FM 91.9 top five for two weeks. Despite success. Elemental struggled to stay together. They decided to go their separate ways in March 2001. Only a month after Elemental split up Eck. Peterson and Gray decided to try again; this time with a different style. ' e realized that the style of Elemental wasn ' t really us and we were struggling to make it work ' Peterson said. What we are now is really natural. As Thrcc Rivers Kennedy, the group was tighter than ever, Eck said. We rarely fight, but every once in awhile it will be over something stupid and then we wind up saying, ' Hey, I am sorry, 1 didn ' t mean to be that way, ' Eck said. It is really not about band stuff, it is usually about Peterson being late. Gray said he didn ' t remember ever having an argument about the music. The band worked to balance busy schedules but understood the importance of an education. We know that right now we have to go to school and we want to have that to fall back on, so we are making the band as much of a priority as we are allowed, Peterson said. That way, someday it can be the number-one priority. 8 Student Life Ben Gray, junior in electrical engineering, practices bass in the basmentof thehouse he shares with Eck.

He asked the people of the United States to pray for the families and friends of the victims. These acts of mass murder were intended to frighten our nation into chaos and retreat, he said. but they have failed: our country is strong. Bush said the U.S government would make no distinctiOn between the terrorists who committed the acts and those who harbore d them. I like how Bush reacted. Jeffrey Pankewich, senior in elementary education, said. When he addressed the nation. he was not afraid to express his belief, like when he read Psalm 23. That ' s what the nation needs to hear, its what the nation was founded on. We need to go back to our biblical roots. 9 p.m. Students gathered together in the K-State Student Union Plaza to pray for the nation. Speakersstood and addressed different topics. Around 150 students clustered in, small circles and were asked to pray specifically for the leaders of this country, for the reaction of the student body, including potential backlash towards people of micteastem decent, and for safety and security.

The Board of Directors of Purple Power Play on Poyntz met in the morning and voted to cancel the event. Out of resriect for the thousands of lives that have been lost in the tragic events yesterday, the board feels that it would be inappropriate to hold a celebration at this time, Karen Schroeder, President of Purple Power Play on Poyntz, said. Phstponements that week included first home football game of the season against Louisiana Tech, a volleyball tournament against Nebraska and the cross country Woody Greeno Invitational. 11. a.m. . K-State campus religious leaders led an interfaith prayer meeting in Forum Hall for students, faculty and Manhattan residents. Students are afraid and emotional about the incident, Don Fallon, campus religious activities coordinator, said. It ' s time to come together to affirm our oneness with Cod and to affirm our faith. Each of the five major faith groups on campus were represented, and each representative had the opportunity to briefly share a piece of his or her religion. Mohammad Al-Deeb, Muslim representative, emphasized the peacefulness of his faith and said the Muslim faith condemned such acts of terrorism.

In response, K-State 11:30 and 12:30 classes were cancelled. More than 3,200 students, faculty and staff gathered for a Prayer and Remembrance Service. McCain Auditorium was Idled to capacity. as were Little Theatre, Forum Hall and the Union Courtyard where people watched the service via television. The program was also broadcast within Manhattan. Our sense of innocence that America was immune to the conflicts in the rest of the world has now ended, University President Jon Wcfald said. ' Yet, out of this tragedy; today Americans stand tall, determined and united. We are, as Americans, more united than anytime since Dec. 7, 1941. The service concluded with God Bless America. 7 p.m. Candles across the country were lit in remembrance of the victims and their loved ones. Students living in the residence halls gathered on the steps of Boyd Hall for a moment of candle-lit silence. More students returned at 9:00 to re-light their candles, this time in the darkness of the evening. Anna Cordes, sophomore in marketing, helped organize the candle lighting in Strong Complex. Coming from a military background, I ' m used to patriotism, Cordes said. But seeing college students walking around with red, white and blue and flags hanging out their windows helps. Even though I ' m away from home it makes me feel like I have a support base. During the candle lighting.

(Photo by Evan Semon) The fourth verse of the the Star-Spangled Banner was penned on Sept. 13, 1814 by Francis Scott Key as he surveyed the damage of Fort McHenry, Md., during the War of 1812. One hundred eighty-seven years later, following terrorist attacks Sept. 11, citizens clung to the words of the national anthem and familiar colors of the flag as a second-nature instinct, Kyle Barker, student body president, said. At the prayer service (Sept. 14), with the choir singing ' God Bless America ' and everyone uniformly standing, I looked to my right to see the flag. It was a sight never to be equaled, Barker. senior in political science, said. ' ' You don ' t overlook the obvious any more. Barker said students returned the banner of freedom to its highest honor and turned to the flag to remember everything it represents. The sense of patriotism and the American flag were integral in satisfying our need to come together, Barker said. It brought us back to our roots, and I hope to God it is sustained. It is a key to healing together. Students who did not own flags sought to purchase them. Area retail shopping centers could not keep shelves stocked with patriotic symbols. If flags touched the shelves, we were probably closed, Veronica Mangiaracino, Wal-Mart assistant manager, said. If shipments arrived, they were taken from the stockers at the doors. Printing and manufacturing companies could not keep up with consumer demand. Craving anything with patriotic colors, customers relied on homemade talent to supply their desire to pageant American pride with beaded buttons, bows and crafts. By Lucas Shivers The sense of community spirit also hit campus. Displays of citizenship included a four-and-a-half- story window painting in Goodnow Hall. Planned and designed the evening before, more than 30 residents gathered Sept. 29 to paint the windows red, white and blue resembling the flag. Residents tackled their lobby windows before moving up floors to help others, said Derek Craig,, sophomore in business administration. It showed onlookers that the residents of Goodnow do support America and its cause, Craig said. ' We w ill not be threatened. The flag was a constant reminder of how lucky we are to live in America. Outfitted in a sense of pride, Steve Levin, Varney ' s assistant manager, said the loyal allegiance to university and country sparked interest in a specially designed $10 Powercat shaped American flag with the words God Bless America. N Zone Sportswear, a local screen printer, initially donated 500 T-shirts to Vamey ' s Book Store and the K-State Union Bookstore. Vamey ' s sold out within an hour after their Sept. 14 delivery. Levin said. The next 5,000 shirts, which arrived at 11 a.m., were gone by noon. Forty people waited in the rain the next morning for the next 1,000 shirts. We have been chasing them since the beginning, Levin said. When it is all said and done through the bulk of it, we predict 40,000 shirts to be sold. After the first weekend, Vamey ' s wrote a check to the American Red Cross for the total proceeds of $20,440 in the name of their customers. All profits sinc e then continued to be contributed. Levin said it has been a wonderful privilege to serve the public, both in Manhattan and the nation. With online sales and catalogue purchases, Levin said thousands of T-shirts were shipped coast to coast. Name a state and a shirt has gone there, he said. With the Powercat, it helps us identify because we ' re K-Staters. but we ' re Americans first.

A street photographer in hi spare time, Conover roamed the streets of Manh attan. He also free-lanced for various publications. During his time at K-State, Conover, a journalism and mass communications major, gained experience as a photographer for the Royal Purple and the Collegian. Conover wrote his personal experience of the tragedy the week after the attacks. I was awakened Tuesday, Sept. I1 not by the news of the plane crashing, but rather by a Federal Express man delivering a package. I buzzed him into the building and after signing for the package, went back to bed. A few minutes later, I was awakened by two sets of rushed knocks on the door. I contemplated not answering, but something seemed too sudden about the knocks. Urgent. I looked through the peephole to see my neighbor Gavin. I opened the door and asked what was going on. His morning routine had obviously been interrupted more than mine—he was wet from the shower and still had shaving cream on his face. He said a plane had crashed into the WIC. Not a stranger to being awakened to photograph what journalists call spot news: I was not unusually alarmed. I grabbed my cameras and ran up to the roof, where many of my neighbors were already watching. I live on Stanton Street, about 25 blocks northeast of the WIC. The rooftop of our five-story building provides a modest view of the downtown skyline. It does, however, offer a relatively unobstructed view of the Twin Towers. Only the north tower was damaged. There was a giant. gaping hole on its north face that spewed thick, dark gray smoke and thousands of specks of tiny white paper into the air. As shocking as it was to see, there was no terror or fear associated with what I was witnessing, only amazement and disbelief. Perhaps from my nearly four years photographing spot news for a small-town newspaper I dismissed it as an accident. The words terrorist attack were nowhere in my mind. I wondered if the north tower would be repairable. Looking back, I ' m ashamed I didn ' t first acknowledge how many people had just been killed, who were, in fact, dying before my eyes. Those people didn ' t have time to escape or defend themselves. As if witnessing a building of that magnitude with that kind of damage wasn ' t incredible enough, the south tower exploded. It took a second for us to hear what our eyes were seeing. The actual sound the crash produced was not so unique—it was like thunder or the rumble of an empty heavyweight payload truck driving over train tracks. But visually it was a slow, billowing explosion. I didn ' t see it was a plane that hit the opposite side of the south tower, as the tower itself blocked my view of the approaching plane. Hater examined my negatives from the morning and discovered the plane as a tiny dot in the background. My distance from the towers cushioned me from the sudden blast it must have seemed like from ground zero. Any sense of scale or relativity was missing. Perhaps because the spectacle it produced was so unlike anything I had witnessed before, it didn ' t register. My only instinct was to photograph what was happening. After the explosion I headed toward the WIC with my roommate. When we got as far as we could go (just over three blocks north of the WIC), the police were stopping people, telling those who were south-bound to head back north. The road was blocked off and I saw what appeared to be a giant plane part. Perhaps an engine. Totally mangled, it had gears and was round. There were lots of FBI agents. At that point I figured I needed a clearer shot of the towers so I headed east. Walking over the Brooklyn Bridge was slow because everybody, it seemed, in all of downtown Manhattan was walking across the bridge, evacuating. (It was) a total mass exodus of people. continued on page 18 Late evening, Sept 16, deep into the restricted zone but still a full block away from Ground Zero, utility personnel work around the clock to help the search and rescue efforts. As reported in Newsweek magazine, doctors awaited patients in make-shift hospitals,. but as one doctor explained, there are no patiePts to bring. As of Sept. 22, more than 90,937 tons of debris had been removed from the WIC site. (Photo by Cary Conover) 16 Student Life With a thick cloud of dust following them, evacuees walk out of Manhattan via the Brooklyn Bridge. After the towers fell, high heeled shoes were found scattered in the streets, kicked off by women as they ran. People used clothing to mask dust and debris from their faces. Bottled water was used to clear their vision and wipe the ash from their mouths. This photograph was taken a few minutes after the south tower collapsed.

Located at 14th Street, it became a memorial for the victms of the World Trade Center attack. For most New Yorkers, Union Square was the closest they could get to the Wit, as m ost streets were closed to residents. Union Square is located about two miles north of the Wit. (Photo by Cary Conover) Awakened continued from page k9 I got about one third of the way across and the first tower collapsed. That was when it got really scary. Until that point. I thought the worst was over; it all seemed to be under control. I thought the towers were simply burning but repairable. But to see one collapse entirely was the breaking point for me. It felt choreographed; the timing was horrifyingly schematic. It was no longer a ' ' story or an opportunity to make good pictures. Of all the different phases of that morning, this was the one I photographed the least. Suniival mode kicked in. People started screaming and holding on to each other at that point, not to mention walking much faster to escape the dust cloud that fast approached. The mood before the collapse was speculative and conversational, almost like people evacuating from a fire drill. After, there was more terror in people ' s faces and voices. One man yelled to the people in front of him, Hurry up, people! This bridge could be next? I realized I really didn ' t want to get across the bridge and be stuck in Brooklyn all day with an already-dead cell phone and maybe no way of getting back home. So I sort of gathered my wits, turned around and walked in the opposite direction of all the people, bound and determined to get off that bridge. By that point, fighter jets were flying overhead. Walking back into Manhattan, everybodyyelled at me, asking me why on earth I wasn ' t headed over the bridge into Brooklyn. As I got closer the dust cloud became pretty strong. It was a thick, coarse dust Beige. You could see the individual dust particles approaching before they contacted your eye. It was like footage of an underwater camera at the ocean floor with all the plankton passing in front of the lens, illuminated by the camera ' s spotlight. Eventually I hopped a fence and was in the Manhattan-bound traffic lane. I had my shirt over my mouth so I wouldn ' t breath in as much dust. I came out into the clearing in front of the Municipal Building. People were walking out of the subway station at that time in total amazement. Police were especially vocal, telling people to walk north, away from the towers. I was walking up Bowery when I heard a crowd of people scream. My immediate fear was that the Empire State Building had been hit but soon I heard people saying, the other one fell, and the north one is gone? I went back up to my roof to take another picture; sort of an after version of the first picture I had taken that morning. 18 Student Wei ' In the weeks since it ' s been non-stop walking and photographing the emptiness of Lower Manhattan, vigils and memorials, life slowly returning to normal. But its true— nothing will ever be normal again. My camera felt heavy that week, I felt that the creativity had been sucked out of me. Wondering and wandering with constant, searing mental images of people still trapped under the rubble, still alive. I tried to think of anybody I knew who worked down there. That ' s the thing about New York; you ' re so crowded that surely you ' ve crossed paths with people who worked in or near the towers. You think of acquaintances who may have worked there, a person you met at a party, friends in midtown and uptown who were probably nowhere near the financial district but you wonder anyway and lire a quick are you all accounted for? e-mail. This tragedy has definitely been a mix of sadness and anger, but mostly disbelief. I loved looking at those towers on nice evenings hanging out on my roof with my friends. One October evening, nearly a month after ' the attack, some friends and I walked by a fire station that lost 14 men. There weren ' t as m any flowers or candles as during the week . of the attack. I sensed that passersby weren ' t stopping to thank the firefighters anymore, nor did they offer cheers of support as fire engines passed by. You feel guilty for the ease with which you ' re able to get on with your life. There the firefighters were, sitting near the station garage entrance chatting with one another. You give them a nod or a small salute and pass by, wondering if it would be awkward to turn around and go back for a hug or a handshake. Minutes after the collapse of the Wit south tower, residents flee Manhattan. Those walking were confronted by an approching dust cloud. (Photo by Cary Conover) ( ' In the Pentagon the phrase. ' It ' s nice to sec you again. ' has an entirely new meaning. ' By Aaron Otto Moving On On Sept. 11, an unbearable number of our countrymen and women who left for work in Washington, D.C. did not return home. Brady Howell was one of those. Along with civilians and military personnel, Howell was a fellow Presidential Management Intern and one of my best friends in the Chief of Naval Operations shop. He was killed in this attack. However, we work for the U.S. Department of Defense, specifically the U.S. Navy, and our job is to make the world safe for democracy Tragic events like this remind us that freedom is certainly not free.

Sept. 13, with that large scar ripped in the exterior of the building, Following the attack, Navy PM1s attended a meeting with senior civilians and admirals on the Chief of Naval Operations staff to talk about the attack and our lost co- workers. It was one of those meetings you never want to go to. However, the opportunity to see my fellow co-workers and Mends together for the first time since the crash greatly outweighed the strong feelings of grief and sorrow. Listening to the stories of people escaping from the building was almost too much. One fellow Kansan. hired on the Navy staff only seven days before the crash, was probably the closest PMI to the impact site who survived. By the end of the week about a third of the Pentagon was operating ' normally ' . Those who still had an office to return to, said they were filled with emotion to return to a building with water standing in the hallways and smells of smoke from the 24-hour fire that caused evacuations. As the first few weeks after the attack come and go. I find myself working on routing the 33 Purple Heads through the Navy chain of command. These awards are being given to the military enlisted and officers killed in the Pentagon—a couple of whom 1 knew. We also worked on awarding the new Civilian Defense of Freedom Award to the 10 Navy civilians killed including my friend and fellow PMI. Following those grim tasks, we worked on heroism awards for those who were injured and who demonstrated great acts of courage. Needless to say, these are tasks I never want to have to do again. Every time 1 hear fire truck sirens or a helicopter, 1 stop and wonder where it is going. I look up when I hear an airplane, but move on with faith that Sept. 11 can ' t happen again.

Roasted turkey; real mashed potatoes and fresh apple pie were replaced by Easy-Mac, Ramen noodles and frozen pizzas. Students no longer living under their parents ' roofs were forced to fend for themselves. On a quest to profile a typical student refrigerator, common themes influenced by price and simplicity emerged. Students purchased microwave dinners and off-brand grocery items to cut corners in the kitchen. Dillons remained the most preferred place to shop, its popularity largely credited to quality and the Dillons Plus Shopper ' s Card savings. I just like the quality of the store, said Adam Kujawa, senior in marketing. I don ' t like Food 4 Less because it ' s ghetto. According to the United States Department of Agriculture, the average student spent approximately SI50 a month on groceries. Each household had a systematic method of equally dividing payments between roommates. At rust we shared the bill, Scan McCaffrey. K-State alumnus, said. Progressively, we each had to have our own cupboard and now we each buy our own groceries. Pop, milk and beer were the three most common items found in student refrigerators. Those are the essentials, Ryan Matthews, senior in finance, said. You can go without food but not without drinks. taking a deeper look into refrigerators of State students, similarities in purchasing habits were found. (Photo illustration by leanel Drake!

Every Wednesday students could visit O ' Malley ' s back porch to experience original songs performed by local musicians. ' Mere wasn ' t a good local music scene, Tony Buckner, part-time student, said. People had to go out of town if they wanted to play. This brought people out. During spring 2001 an Open Mic Night was co-started by Buckner at Pat ' s Blue Rib ' n Barbeque for Manhattan bands to perform. Buckner started the Open Mic Night at O ' Malley ' s in May. We moved from Pat ' s because I wanted all acoustic (guitars). One of the reasons we didn ' t allow electric guitars here was the city noise ordinance after 11 p.m. We have played up to 1:30 a.m. with no noise complaints. The back porch created a unique musical environment for O ' Malley ' s. Talon Hetchens, Manhattan resident, said bringing people together to share everything about music was a good idea for the community People are exposed to more culture, Bryson Robbins. 2001 alumnus, said. it had been a while since music had really been around here. Diversity in music is good to have. Buckner said he had seen 19 different performers over the summer. Only six had previous experience performing in front of an audience. The purpose of Open Mic Night was to spread the message of music, Hetchens said. It really allowed people who were shy or closed in to express a side of themselves people don ' t normally get to see. Buckner started a policy, prohibiting booing or catcalls because he wanted everyone to show support for the performers. Open Mic Night gave people from Manhattan who didn ' t want to be in a band a chance to play their music, Buckner said. ' A lot of good stuff came out of the woodwork. Buckner said he intended for other performers to come out to O ' Malley ' s. Open Mic Night was not only for musicians but literatywriters as well. He planned to establish a relationship with the K-State English department to attract more writers. I hoped to have poets and storytellers, he said. I am more of a writer than performer. I wanted to tap into different talents that have never been heard. I think people are ready for fresh songwriters. Open Mic Night gives people a ch ance to experience something real and original. Feathers adorn the nut of Gile ' s guitar. Open Mk Night brings a greater sense of diversity, Manhattan resident Stephan Keith said. O ' Malleys is a great place for music.

(Photo by Kelly Glasscock) The sharp smell of chlorine from a fountain enveloped anyone who entered McCain Auditorium, home to ICSDB-FM 91.9. One step into the studio and the odor dissipated, replaced by weak waves of fresh air from a small floor fan. Matt Jolly, senio r in journalism and mass communications and program director for ICSDB, sat below the dozens of station-rejected compact discs that lined the ceiling. Rock music blared from the speakers and out of the yellow headphones covering his ears. Jolly was surrounded by CDs, records. new and antiquated equipment. Wires grew from almost all surfaces. It was in this environment that Jollyspent most of his waking hours — usually 20 of the day ' s 24. However, for Jolly, this regular sleep deprivation was worth the stress and fatigue. This station ' s my baby, he said. I don ' t want to see it go down in flames. It is my No. 1 priority Jolly ' s job was multi-faceted—including programming, on-air happenings, representing the station, recruiting, handling complaints and being around in compliance with regulations of his position. This left Jolly to sleep whenever he could. I ' m not on any schedule, Jolly said. I sleep when I want to. It took awhile to get used to, but now when I ' m lucky enough to get a chance at seven hours of sleep, I can ' t do it. He hasn ' t been able to do it foryears. In high school, Jolly operated on that sort of schedule arld said he didn ' t have any magic tricks to staying awake. Although he spent around $8 a day on Dr Pepper, Jolly said he avoided amphetamines such as nicotine, over-the-counter stimulants and illegal drugs. I try to stay away from evil things. he said. It ' s gotten to the point where I don ' t even think the caffeine kicks in anymore. The key is keeping involved in something. I keep my mind on one thing at a time, and they ' ll all get done. Yeah, I ' m busy, but I ' m happy. Joel Koehn, a junior in computer science who also worked 40 hours a week, spread his 24 hours thin as well. Koehn said between his full-time job, 12 hours of classes and homework he slept about three hours most week nights. Sometimes I have problems staying awake, but usually I can do it, Koehn said. 1 don ' t do it every single night, but it ' s something I have to do. I ' ve got deadlines and I have to get it done. I let it pile up, too, so some of it I could avoid, but a lot of it can ' t be avoided. Koehn said he accepted his present situation and that his immediate future would be patterned after his current schedule. I ' m hoping that I ' m taking my hardest classes now, he said, but I ' m pretty sure this is the way it ' s going to be from now on. I really struggle with it sometimes? Lisa Fluchel, sophomore in landscape architecture, agreed lack of sleep would be necessary for the rest of her college career. Fluchel spent most of the day in class or in studio working on designs. At night, she returned to the studio and greeted the new morning doing homework for other classes. To make the long hours easier to handle, Fluchel applied her freshmen year as a learning experience. I learned a lot last year, she said. I learned how to use my day well. If I use my breaks during the day, then I don ' t have to stay (on campus) as late at night? Despite time management, late nights were common for Fluchel, and another past experience taught her how to handle the strain. It ' s really hard on your body, she said. I take naps when I can and really push myself to cat right. I think that ' s very important One time last year, I pushed myself too hard soi wasn ' t eating or sleeping right and I almost passed out. To help make it through a 19 or 20 hour day, Fluchel also used positive reinforcement for motivation. It was really hard at first, Fluchel said. 1 got used to it by really taking advantage of my spare time when I get it and rewarding myself. If I stay really late for a few nights, I ' ll give myself a night off. Also, its what I want to do. I want to design zoos and stuff like that, and I tell myself it sucks now but it ' ll be worth it later. fusion defined 33 K-State Defined the fusion of activities, style and personality Activists, artists, athletes, bookworms, Christians, commuters, cowboys, greeks, homebodies, internationals, leaders, military, musicians, naturalists, partiers, slackers, studiers, techies, thespians, transfers, work-a-holics.

Jade, the family ' s Himalayan cat scurried off the sofa as a curious two-year-old climbed up next to his mother and offered assistance. ' Tyler loves to help me with my homework: Alexander said. ' He ' ll color on my paper and draw things, usually circles. I try to set him down with his own paper, but mine ' s always more interesting to him. These were the moments she cherished the most in the midst of her packed schedule as a full-time wife, mother and student, she said. Alexander moved with her husband, Kirk, first lieutenant platoon leader, field artillery, to Fort Riley, Kan: in Feb. 2000. The couple met and became best friends at North Georgia College an d State University. They married Nov 14, 1998 in Lawrenceville, Ga., and began the transient life typical of military families. Moving away from my parents in Georgia was hard, but it wasn ' t like I was just picking up and moving all by myself, she said. I had my two favorite guys with me. Alexander. determined to earn a bachelor ' s degree, received support from her husband. We ' ve talked about her finishing her education since we married, Kirk said. We understand that when she goes to school, that ' s her job and I go to work, that ' s mine. We split the household duties, taking turns with chores and Tyler. Alexander transferred from Barton County Community College ' s on-post campus at Fort Riley to K-State in the summer 2001. From now on I have to take 18 to 21 hours a semester to make sure I finish before my husband is transferred to a new duty station, she said. Moving every three years puts a barrier on things since I am trying to graduate before we change forts. Juggling 13 hours and a family, Alexander worked closely with her academic adviser, Laurie Roberson, to create a feasible class schedule. Roberson advised Alexander until Alexander changed her major to secondary education. Vanessa is a very good student who takes the initiative to check on things, Roberson said. We gauged each semester by prerequisites and built upon them. Her main concern was graduating before her husband ' s tour was up. Alexander said she carefully planned her time around her family. The time I spend at school is so important because that is time taken away from my family, she said. When Tyler is at the baby sitter ' s, I take an extra hour or two to study. That way I don ' t have to think about it when I am at home with him. With family responsibilities came personal compromises of school and social activities. Here I am wondering about what to make for dinner and the other girls are worried about what to wear to Aggieville, Alexander said. Once in a while the neighbors and I have a girl ' s night in Aggieville, but most of our friends are married couples so we do ' couple things together. Alexander forfeited time in class to take care of her son when he felt sick. If Tyler is running any fever at all he cannot be at the baby sitter ' s house, she said. My husband ' s job does not allow for him to take off work. I ' m automatically expected to stay home with him, which means a tot more absences than I need. Despite the added stress, Alexander said the sacrifices she made for her family were well worth it. If something has to give, it will be school, Alexander said. I always said my family would always come first. I am not just doing this for me, I ' m doing it for my son and my husband. With that in mind, Alexander let her loved ones serve as her reminder of the important things in life. 1 have realized that I do not have to keep a 4.0. Alexander said. Being a good mom and wife is more important than anything.

All-Star team coach, Bill Sexton said Farnsworth was an asset to the team because he was easy-going and quickly established a rapport with other players on the team. Jim is physically imposing at 6 feet 6 inches and about 240 pounds, and he is remarkably athktic for such a big man: Sexton said. Jim has a very good base knowledge of rugby and quickly adapted to playing within the all-star structure with high caliber players around him? Farnsworth said he was reluctant to play rugby at first, but changed his mind his sophomore year when he passed the field on his way to the Chester E. Peters Recreation Complex. I saw people playing (rugby) so I just got in line and started playing, Farnsworth said. I was hooked after that. After becoming involved with the team. Farnsworth excelled in the sport but said he also enjoyed the social aspect of the club. It goes along with rugby, Farnsworth said. One of the great differences between high school football and rugby is that in high school you always hated your opponent, but in rugby you see guys get in a big brawl on the field and then you all go out and party together?

The first day was boring, but it got better by the second week. I don ' t mind most of them. With classes under control. Hamm said she was more intimidated by her first day as a server at Derby. Hamm had filled out an employment application from an earlier college visit and accepted the position for the flexible hours and convenient location. ' Working in the kitchen started off to be pretty scary she said. it was a really large kitchen and I was expected to know how things were done. Everyone was really nice and it has been a great experience. Participating in Bible studies with the American Baptist Campus Ministry and evening services at the United Methodist Church, Hamm said she has more opportunities to practice her faith. Due to her activities, making friends also came easy for Hamm. it was a big chain reaction by meeting people through various ways. she said. 1 have quite a few groups of friends who don ' t even know each other. New friends helped provide balance in her social life with movies or just hanging out. Adjusting to the college transition caused Hamm to become more responsible. Everything fell on my shoulders, she said. 1 chose when to eat. sleep, study and who to spend time with. It ' s been so much more fun than home. Inspired by Faith service with a smile Story by Lindsey Thorpe Photos by Matt Stamey Money. material possessions and popularity did not interest a man who found fulfillment in a life as a humble servant. His genuine smile, giving spirit and love for Jesus Christ brought him innumerable friendships and an indescribable joy to carry out his found purpose: to glorify God. Nicknamed Smiley by his friends, Russell Purdy. senior in journalism and mass communications, was known for his contagious optimism and compassion for people. I smile because I have the joy of the Lord inside, Purdy said. I am pleased with my life. Serving others makes me happy: Andrew Liebelt, senior in horticulture. described Purdy as a man of integrity who loved to socialize. joy is complete, Liebelt said. most happy when he is around other people. Raised in the small farming community of Deerfield, Kan., Purdy ' s mother home-schooled him from eighth grade through his senior year of high school. Purdy said his conservative Christian foundation traced back to the example of his parents. However, his faith did not become his own until his home-school years, he said. I don ' t remember exactly how old I was when I became a Christian. Purdy said. Since high school, it has been a real growing experience. I ' ve become more intimate in my relationship with Purdy transferred from Garden City (Kan.) Community College. to K-State in the fall. I felt that ' s where God was leading me, Purdy said. 1 have been blessed with a great Christian environment here. Through Navigators, a Christian organization for college students, Purdy said he established a number of meaningful friendships when he moved to Manhattan. Navigators helped clarify my views on who God is and what he requires of us, Purdy said. It helped strengthen my boldness and my desire to serve God and bring him glory. As a member of Navigators ' leadership committee. Purdy planned social and community service events. I call him the social coordinator of Navigators. said Brian Hill, senior in civil engineering, Purdy ' s friend and co-kader of a Bible study. He is someone who cares about people. He loves to invest his time with others: Getting to know as many people as possible became a goal for Purdy. I try to meet three new people a day and remember their names, Purdy said. I cam about people. I befriend them and by to glorify God in that. ' Purdy said his desire to glorify God ignited a passion to serve others. He often invited friends to his home on Sunday afternoons and cooked for them. I ' m a fairly decent cook: Purdy said. Since was home-schooled, my mother taught me how. I make a pretty mean Cajun jambalaya. Raised with a high standard of morals and behaviors. Purdy earned a reputation for his kindness. He offers to take out the trash for other people in his apartment complex, Hill said. ' hat ' s just one of many examples. I ' ve never seen it as a selfish thing though. He doesn ' t do things to get glory for himself, he does it for the In his free time. Purdy helped friends in need of a Mr. If a girl in Nays has a problem with a sink, a toilet, a car or needs something fixed, I will sec what I can do to help: Purdy said. I ' m not an eloquent speaker, nor am I quick-witted, but I love to serve: Purdy ' s humble spirit reflected his devotion to God. just a man like everyone else, Purdy said, but by the grace of God. he has given me a heart to help people: Recalling memories, Purdy flips through a photo album with Kelsey Roach, Junior in dietetics. Purdy became friends with Roach his freshman year of high school. They were both homeschooled. Through devotions, Purdy familiarizes himself with the Bible. One of my favorite verses is Romans 12:12 in the King James Version, he said. He usually studied the Bible before an 11:30 a.m. class. Stepping out of his apartment to check on those eating in the hallway, Purdy makes everyone feel welcome. The crammed apartment compelled several to dine in the hallway. Purdy hosted dinners and parties for Navigator friends at least once a week. Relaxing at Java Espresso and Bakery, Russell Purdy, senior in journalism and Mass communications, and Steve Kelting, Manhattan resident and friend from Navagators, talk it about Bible verses. Purdy frequented the coffeshop so often the employees knew his name and order, chocolate milk. Purdy is a loyal person and great friend, Andy Liebelt, senior in golf course management, said.

Dancing at the Farmer Flashback date party Nov. 16, McCarty and Price appear as Austin Powers and Felicity Shagwell. Juniors Travis McCarty, animal sciences and industry and agricultural economics, and Andrea Price, animal sciences and industry attend a date party. He grew up on a farm in southwest Kansas and is considering a return after graduation. I will be the fourth generation on that land, he said.

Retro Cowboy college adds new dimensions to farm roots Story by Alison Brown Photos by Evan Semen At first glance, he looked the part of the average college student outfitted in blue jeans and a FarmHouse fraternity T-shirt. Looking past the exterior, the blood of a cowboy was evident in Travis McCarty, junior in animal sciences and industry and agricultural economics. When people think of a cowboy, they think of someone who dresses hickish. McCarty said. ' They think of someone who wears boots everyday? Boots or tennis shoes, McCarty was born a cowboy I grew up on a horse, he said. The lust time 1 rode. 1 was a baby on my dad ' s lap? Since that first ride, McCarty had been an integral part of his family ' s farm. He worked each summer and school year throughout his childhood checking cattle, vaccinating calves and completing odd jobs to keep the farm in order. 1 never had a job except working with my father on the farm, McCarty said. He planned for that to change in May 2002 when he will start an internship with an agriculture company 1 want to diversify myself, McCarty said. I really want to see what else is out there? He started discovering what was out there when he arrived at K-State. As hard as it was to leave his farm and family, McCarty found more than 60 new brothers when he decided to participate in fraternity life. Coming from a small town, I was a little nervous about going to a large Division I school like K-State. McCarty said. When 1 was accepted to live at FarmHouse, my fear and nerves quickly subsided because I knew that 1 was living in a place with men who had my same upbringing and culture. He said as a member of FarmHouse doors opened that may not have otherwise. 1 have met so many people who have changed my outlook on life, McCarty said. 1 have also seen older guys who have lived here and graduated and established themselves with successful jobs. so 1 feel confident I may have the chance to do the same. Tyler Alpers, FarmHouse member and junior in agricultural economics, said he witnessed small changes in McCarty through the three years he knew him. He was 100 percent cowboy and we ' ve managed to prep him out a bit, Alpers said. We got him to buy Does and khakis instead of just Wranglers? Without FarmHouse, McCarty said he believed his college experience would not have been the same. 1 probably would not have as much academic success because there are always guys motivating me to do my best, he said. 1 would not have had the opportunity to become as involved on campus. Sophomore in agronomy and FarmHottse member, Jon-Joseph Armstrong, believed the fr aternity would not be the same with out McCarty He brings humor and joy to the house, Armstrong said. Guys are always looking for Travis to see what he has to say or what story he has to tell. Originally. McCarty wanted to become a veterinarian. McCarty kept his mind as open as his options to appreciate his college experiences before deciding exactly which direction to go. I may go back in five or 10 years, he said, or I could be a salesman of agricultural products, or who knows? ' He said he could not imagine doing something that did not involve farm life in some way. You ' re independent — that is key, McCarty said. Nobody is telling you to have things done by a certain time, and you ' re not confined to a cubicle. You have thousands of acres to call your own. At the bar in his living room, Jon Jacques, senior in geography education, and neighbor Chris Bunnell, junior in marketing and international business, tell stories about their weekend. My favorite beer is Budweiser, Jacques said, not Bud Light, Budweiser.

Party Hardy student has fun, keeps 3.5 GPA Story by Amber Rouse Photos by Kelly Glasscock The streets of Aggieville invited hundreds of patrons okweekends. But for a select few the weekend was just the start of a weeklong party. I ' m getting older and I ' ve slowed down quite a bit, Jon Jacques, senior in geography education, said. 1 used to party seven nights a week; my grades reflected that. After years of practice and learning to juggle responsibilities and recreation, partying became a way of life (or Jacques and his friends. They grew accustomed to sleeping five hours a night. Once you get in the habit its really not that bad, Chris Bunnell, junior in marketing and international business, said. We do it so much that we don ' t even get hangovers anymore. It ' s actually kind of pathetic. The high price Jacques and his friends paid for alcohol proved a downfall to the continuous party life. Some days we would go out in the afternoons, and afternoon would just turn to evening. Jacques said. Those days we could spend anywhere from $20 to $50 a night. If you start buying shots, it gets up there: Luckily for Jacques and his wallet, drinking wasn ' t always a prerequisite for fun. I just like the atmosphere, Jacques said. A lot of times I just go to watch football. I like to meet new people. I don ' t go out to get drunk. I go out to have fun. Jacques, along with his friends, spent most of their time partying at bars rather than at house parties. Rusty ' s Last Chance was their favorite spot to drink, Jacques said. I was the last one to turn 21, said Bunnell. Before we went to some house parties, but now we just go to the bars most of the time. Jacques eventually learned the key to balancing fun and schoolwork. I try to get stuff done early Jacques said. Sometimes that means doing stuff eight to 12 hours straight one day and then having the rest of the week free. My lust couple of years I didn ' t get that figured out. Jacques ' s friends were aware of the importance he placed on homework and his future. Jon ' s really interested in teaching, said Jacques ' s roommate Kelly Katz, junior in secondary education. He works really hard to get his work done and he studies hard. Although partying served as a way of life in college for Jacques, he knew that life after college would be different. I figure I ' ll do it all now so I won ' t have to when I ' m 30, Jacques said. Late Nights activities demand long hours Story by Alison Brown Photos by Kelly Glasscock Each second ticked slower than the one before as she struggled to keep her eyes open. Glancing at the clock, Julia Week, sophomore in biology and Spanish, breathed a sigh of relief as she discovered only 20 minutes remained in her shift. It was 5:40 a.m. It gives me some peace and quiet to study and also get out of the fast-paced world and just sit for a minute — or three hours, Wagle said of her job as a community assistant in Strong Complex. Wagle spent plenty of hours studying while covering the desk. There are so many things I love doing, so I ' m trying to keep my options open, Wagle said. I had a Spanish minor, but 1 added it to my major, and I ' m also getting the pre-med requirements because I ' m considering oncology and endocrinology. Besides studies and work, sorority life demanded a portion of her time. I understand the importance of being involved in colkge life and many organizations — not just going to class everyday: Wagle said. Also, to get into medical school, I have to keep a 3.5 grade point average. The sorority helps by making study hours mandatory Wagle said her first priority, family, could sometimes be the hardest thing to balance with her studies. Her brother, Paul, 10, was diagnosed with acute lymphatic leukemia in August. It was our worst fear confirmed, Wagle said. but it was detected early and is curable in two- and-a-half years with chemotherapy and a variety of drugs. Wagle was thankful her sister, Andrea, freshman in open-option, was close by. Andrea and 1 are in the same dorm, so it ' s nice we have each other to comfort, Wagle said. She ' s also taking two classes 1 took last year, and she ' s thinking about the medical field, so I ' m abk to help her with her studies? just as Wagle and Andrea helped each other, Wagle also believed she received help from a higher power which put her at ease with Paul ' s illne ss, she said. Wagle said she believed her faith helped her get through it all. She was involved in Christian Challenge and attended three Bible studies on campus. Somehow, she found time to get everything accomplished with a schedule that included 18 hours. Amazed at how Wagle kept track of all her activities, her roommate, Alicia Allison, sophomore in kinesiology and pre-physical therapy, said she didn ' t know how Wagle had time for all the people in her life. She ' s not ever in the room during the day, but we usually end up talking late at night, Allison said. She has a lot to do, but she makes time for everyone, although she doesn ' t always get enough sleep. Wagle explained putting things into perspective and keeping a healthy balance between all elements kept her focused. 1 have a whole new realization of life and death: Wagle said. You only live once, so you have to live that life to the fullest and do what you want to do and don ' t pass up big opportunities. Wind Studying late at night, Julia Wagle, sophomore in biology and Spanish, works at The front desk at Boyd Hall. Wagle is a community assistant in Strong Complex, taking 18 hours and a member of Kappa Delta. I thrive under pressure, Wagle said, even though it sometimes wears me down emotionally and physically. Wagle highlights text in her book to help her study while working the front desk at Boyd Hall. As a community assistant in Strong Complex, Wagle often saw her sister Andrea, freshman in open• option, who lived in Boyd also.

Driven to Succeed first in family to further education Story by Amber Rouse Photos by Evan Semon Personal success motivated Tomy Woods. The third of four children, Woods, freshman in business administration, was the first in his family to go on to college after high school. H is oldest brother was an honor student, Sheryl Woods, his mother, said. He just didn ' t like school so he didn ' t go back. I didn ' t want that to happen to Tomy. Pushing himself to succeed, Woods joined the U.S. Army Reserves after graduating from Wichita Southeast High School, May 2000. At the time, I didn ' t know what I was doing, Woods said. The Army seemed like a good idea. His decision to join the reserves pleased his family ' I ' m glad he went to military training before college, Sheryl said. It gave him discipline and a goal. Basic (training) was hard and it taught him the discipline he needed? Although Woods served in the military, those who knew him described him differently. He ' s not really an Army person. He ' s not haul- core like other Army guys, Jay Hunt. freshman in computer science and friend of Woods, said. But if something needs to be done, then he ' ll get it done. The reserves gave Woods an opportunity to assume more responsibility. He was often one of the fe w members of his unit to report for duty on drill days, he said. But his concerns about the Army exceeded the lack of participation. It ' s different after basic (training), Woods said. It ' s more like the real world; there ' s not a lot of structure. Woods, although slightlydisappointed with the lack of structure the Army offered, seemed content with his choice to enlist. 1 was thinking about joining ROTC, but I like my enlisted rank:Woods said. Each has it ' s own level of responsibility. Commissioned officers deal more with administrative work and enlisted officers deal more with personnel. Proving dedication to his job, Woods spent much of his time away from class polishing his military knowledge and skills. 1 miss out on a lot of stuff on the weekends, Woods said. I ' m always reading books about Army regulations. Woods accepted more responsibility with his job as a caterer. He worked 15-20 hours a week at Chartwells Catering, setting up for events and helping prepare the meals. During what little leisure time he had, Woods traveled to Wichita to spend time with his family and friends who still lived in the area. I see them not accomplishing shit, Woods said. ' They call me the college boy and I just eat it up. Despite his college boy title, Woods ' first year at K-State differed from that of an average freshman. Living off campus his first to the differences. I feel like I ' m miss ing out on some stuff, Woods said, but I don ' t want to stay in a dorm room. Theyre too small. I need my personal space. Although it ' s not exactly what he expected, Woods said he was satisfied with his college experience. College is easy so far, Woods said. I expected a lot more structure. It ' s time consuming. but it ' s easy. FOODS Tomy Woods, freshman in business administration, works at Chartwells Catering. t Woods sets tables in the K-State Student Union Ballroom.

A hearty aroma of spices and roasted chicken filled the dining mom in the Islamic Center of Manhattan on Hylton Heights. Dishes of white rice, vegetables, soup and salad covered a row of folding tables while members of the mosque gathered together to break their day-long fast. During Ramadan, married, Muslim graduate students and professors from K-Statc volunteered two times during the month-long holiday to prepare a traditional Middle-Eastern meal for single men in the mosque. The families here play the role of our families overseas, said Mohammad AI-Deeb, graduate student in entomology. ' They try to fill the void of homesickness by giving us the same feelings we would have if we were at home with our families during the month of Ramadan? Muslim students came together each evening at five o ' clock, just after sundown. The men broke their fast with dates and juice. Following a time of prayer, they filed into line for their meal. When we come home from school, there is no time to for us to cook, Shuaib Kasim, senior in computer science, said. It is an advantage for us single students. Many newcomers to the mosque experienced their first Ramadan away from home this year, Al-Deeb said. The dinners served as a time to establish new friendships and enjoy a free, traditional meal. They anticipate that it will be gloomy, but the families make sure the students know they are not alone, Al- Deeb said. ' They arc among a bigger family that shares the same religion and way of thinking. The single men brought plastic utensils and disposable cups, plates and bowls to avoid the hassle of washing dishes. The joint effort between the families and the singles provided opportunities to serve and fellowship with each other. Sarah Mahmoud, K-State alumna, prepared Middle- Eastern dishes with other married women in the mosque. If we do this for the men, God will bless us: Mahmoud said. ' They are like brothers to me. If they are in need, we need to help them. It creates love between us. Ramadan is a spiritual season in which we learn to discipline our desires and learn to say no. Fasting is something we do willingly. We also pray more and are aware that God is watching our behavior. Mohammad graduate student in entomology Ramadan ' s Reasoning The celebration of Ramadan occurs on the ninth month of the lunar calendar. Muslims believe the Holy Qur ' an was sent down, from the seventh level of heaven to the first, upon the Prophet Muhammed. In honor of this revelation, believers rejoice at the arrival of their holy month. Fasting Facts • Most believers break their fast by • Every Muslim who is sane, adult and able eating dates, a custom of Muhammed. fasts during the month-long celebration Consumption of dates is followed by • Fasting begins at Salatul Fair (daybreak) Sunset prayer and dinner. and ends at Salatul Maghrib (sunset) • The completion of Ramadan is • Muslims abstain from food, liquid, celebrated with Eidul-Fitr, a thanksgiving smoking and sex for having an opportunity to obey Allah.

These and other computer pans contributed to the sea of beige, forgotten and outdated computer equipment that filled the red trailer for the third time since the renewed effort toward the K-State computer-recycling campaign. Computer-recycling was an ongoing program through the Division of Facilities. However, due to a lack of awareness, many computers took up closet space for years. I had heard that this sort of service had been provided for some time, but was never publicized for some odd reason, said Jon Denning, sophomore in computer science and Information Technology Assistance Center employee. When we attempted it. we really got the word out there. I guess we just advertised better. To raise recognition of the program, iTAC advertised by calling and sending paperwork to every department. The departments then had one month to express their interest and enroll in the program. These actions helped create awareness, Rebecca Gould, iTAC director, said. She became aware of the need for computer recycling after looking in her department ' s closets. We knew there were lots of computers on campus that needed to be disposed of that don ' t belong in the landfill, Gould said. We saw what we had and once we saw that, we figured other departments on campus might have the same. Departments started opening closets and finding old computers. Forty-two departments signed up for the program. Unused computers from various departments became donations to charitable organizations, such as schools or churches. Broken elements were scrapped and used for parts or metal. Kansas placed more emphasis on recycling because of environmental issues. We ' re trying to keep the computers out of the landfill, Al Seely, assistant director of facilities services, said. Monitors have a lot of nasty stuff in them, like heavy metals and epoxy resins, that doesn ' t belong in landfills. Kansas is trying to start up recycling programs all over the state because soon you won ' t be able to drop computers in the landfill at all. The push for computer recycling was planned in conjunction with the week of Earth Day, Nov. 12-16. As a result of publicizing the ongoing campaign, iTAC and facilities collected more than seven tons of computer equipment for donation or recycling. Getting iTAC students involved helped get the campaign in the public eye, Gould said. She said she hoped the initial effort would prompt continuous use of the recycling program. I would hope the departments learn the process of how to appropriately dispose of used computers. Gould said. if it dies off, we will continue to push the process. fusion defined 61 THE LIFE OF A LEADER Bruce Snead balances multiple roles as instructor, mayor and family man 62 (, With the Eagles singing Hotel California in the background, the Snead family talks about Bruce ' s 1995 City Commission campaign over a grilled salmon and chicken dinner.

I had ordered some to be printed right on the package but they didn ' t come. About Thursday before the Saturday parade I decided, I was going to do it anyway so I went to the store and literally took a box and tipped the seed display into it and bought all the seeds I could find. I had an attitude of, ' Let ' s get this thing done. ' Bruce ' s roles included mayor of Manhattan, K-State faculty member, husband and father. Bruce was elected twice to four-year City Commission terms and served as mayor April 1997-April 1998 and again April 2001-April 2002. • The Riley County Commission appointed him to the Manhattan Urban Area Planning Board in 1991. He said experience gained on the planning board helped him decide to run for commission. Seeing how the city government worked gave me the confidence that I wanted to try and see if I could serve as a citycommissioner, Bruce said. ' To keep all the really great qualities of this town but also improve it, make it better. I felt like I wanted to try. and I fek like I could do it. Bruce grew up in California and went to college in San Louis Obispo, Calif., where he met his wife Leslie. His roommate was interested in me, too, and so it was a question of who was going to win my affection, Leslie said. Finally one night when it was just Bruce and me. he asked, ' Do you like me as much as I think you do? ' Bruce and Leslie were married in 1974 and moved to Manhattan two years later. Their son, Braden, was born in 1982. As a Kansas Industrial Extension Service instructor, Bruce taught all aspects of building science: indoor air quality, radon measurement and reduction, safe rooms and residential and renewable energy use in buildings. All my work is 100 percent grant and contract supported, and has been for 20 years, Bruce said. 1 write proposals and if they get funded, I do the work ' For $100 a month Bruce used his free time for Commission work. Story by Alison Vrtiska Photos by Kelly Glasscbck I feel like I might be able to work with people to make a difference in Manhattan, Bruce said. ' There are things that I see that I feel good about. I feel they ' ve made a difference and there is also a recognition that these things take time. Leslie said controversial issues surrounded the election the second time Bruce ran for Commission . The main issues at the time were the removal of the Ten Commandments monolith from the front of City Hall. The monolith now stands in front of Manhattan Christian College, and the Wal-Mart Planned Unit Development on Seth Child Road. Just before the election, the Commission voted to leave the monolith in front of City Hall. Bruce voted against that decision. Leslie said Manhattan citizens were very sensitive about the issue. It was much harder to gauge what the community was thinking because of the controversies. Leslie said. You don ' t always know when you ' re the incumbent. Braden talked about the qualities he saw in his dad. He said his father ' s patience made him a good father, instructor and mayor. Sometimes my dad and l don ' t always agree on certain issues, Braden said, but I can ' t remember a time that he didn ' t listen to what I had to say and consider my views wholeheartedly Braden said his father had different sides to his personality. He can be serious sometimes and goofy at others, Braden said, but he can also get veryemotional too. Family and friends are very important to him. For Bruce it was important to keep family time separate from his role as mayor. He said he made•sure to get out of town at least once a year to visit his relatives and relax. ' The only deficiency I see in Kansas is there are no waves so I can go walking on the beach, swimming in the ocean or go body boarding, Bruce said. I think I am the only person in Kansas who has a subscription to Body Boarding Magazine. Brutes best friend since the age of 12, Steve Martini, director of K-State intramurals, said he moved to M anhattan, in part because he knew his friend was here. They were men in each other ' s weddings. Martini said Bruce ' s ability to balance multiple roles an excel at each of them was part of his personality Bruce is really a pretty emotional guy when it comes to things he cares about, Martini said. ' We have shared laughter and tears. He spoke at my mother ' s funeral. I couldn ' t speak and he did for me. You can ' t ask many people to do that. The pace of the town is something I really like. For nine months out of the year K- State is the pulse with 20,000 students and all the vitality, but when summer rolls ar ound, the pace drops. It is a nice change. It is a nice pattern. It doesn ' t mean I don ' t like (students) around, it is just a nice change. 6 ( I feel lik e people have told me that I seem to have the right demeanor, attitude and Perspective. That, on top of my own perspec- tive, makes me feel like I am a good person for the job. Not everybody wants to be, or can be, a commissioner. I am very fortu- nate that I am in this role and have this responsibility. ) While preparing dinner, Leslie and Bruce Snead talk to their son, Braden. Dad won ' t akkize or judge you without getting to know you Braden said. He is fir and understand- ing. I feel very fortunate and proud to have him as a father and friend.

After removing the cap, Wickersham plunged his gloved arm intothe animal ' s stomach. He withdrew his arm, pulling out a dump of tan, stringy partially-digested grass. The oblivious steer never flinched. He can ' t feel a thing, Wickersham said. They don ' t really even know what ' s going on. The rubber plugs, called cannulas, allowed research students in ruminant nutrition to directly see and touch the contents of the rumen, the lust division of the animals ' four-chambered stomach. Bob Cochran, professor of ruminant nutrition, said professors and graduate students used the cannulas to research digestive systems in the fistulous cattle. ' These cattle give us the ability to directly study the growth of microorganisms in the animal, Cochran said. Digestion in ruminants is a complex process dependent on millions of microbes that reside primarily in the rumen and reticulum. Direct access to these compartments permits researchers to study processes that control digestion with the aim of better understanding how to feed and manage ruminants? Wickersham said there were several groups of cattle, each used for a slightly different type of research. He worked specifically with range- grazing cattle, with a herd of 16 fistulous animals. The university also used fistulous dairy and feedlot cattle for research purposes, he said, but there were fewer dairy cattle used because the cannula could interfere with the milking procedure. Although different breeds of cattle were used for specific research areas, Sean Montgomery; graduate student in ruminant nutrition, said the breed was irrelevant for general research. By Jennifer Rezac The breed doesn ' t matter, he said. As far as research is concerned, a rumen is a rumen. However, Montgommysaid beef cattle breeds needed to be installed with the cannulas at a younger age, when they could become more accustomed to human contact, because normally beef cattle were partially wild. The university used the cattle solely for research, rarely bringing them out for viewing. We maintain the cattle largely as research, Cochran said. There are certain times they ' re exposed to the public, such as Open House? Montgomery said the cattle were displayed regularly for Open House in past years, but otherwise hadn ' t been out in public for a fewycars. Erin Ferdinand, graduate student in ruminant nutrition, said sometimes students unfamiliar with the cattle had trouble understanding the research uses of the cannulas. ' People who haven ' t been around them would wonder why we do it, Ferdinand said. But after people sec it, they understand why we use (the fistulous cattle). Cochran said few people questioned the treatment of the animals, but the cannulas were painless and barely detectable. He said the university ' s Institutional Animal Care and Use Committee, approved all the procedures used to install the cannulas. Cannulas are implanted via a surgical procedure accomplished with the aid of anesthesia, he said. As with all common surgical procedures, every effort is made to minimize animal discomfort. Montgomery said the fistulous cattle actually lived longer than cattle without the cannulas. Chances are, if they weren ' t fitted with the cannula they wouldn ' t live as long, he said. Instead, they would be harvested for meat: Student Life 11111r41Magraln=1 Fistula: an abnormal duct or passage from an abscess, cavity. or hollow organ to the body surface or another hollow organ Cannula: a tube inserted into a bodily cavity to drain fluid or insert medication. Rumen: the first division of the stomach of a ruminant animal, in which food is partly digested before being regurgitated for further chewing. Ruminant a hoofed, even-toed, usually horned mammal of the suborder Ruminantia as a cow, sheep, goat, deer, or giraffe, having a stomach divided into four compartments, and chewing a cud consisting of regurgitated, partially digested food. Reticulum: the second compartment of a ruminant stomach, lined with a membrane having honeycombed ridges. Webster, ti New Riverside University Dictionary Reaching inside the roman of a ffstulated steer, Tryon Wickersham, research assistant shows how simple it is to remove partially digested food for exa mination.

(Photo by Zech Long) The names of local avenues reveal their unique pasts By Amber Rouse Like puzzle pieces from the past, the names of the Manhattan ' s streets came together to tell the unique story of the city. Each individual for whom the streets were named helped shape the history of Manhattan. Seth Child, Dr. Joseph Denison, Colonel John Poyntz and John A. Anderson all helped in founding not only the community, but also the establishment that would become K-State. Street sigris stood throughout the city as memorials to the people whose names were familiar, but contributions unknown. MARLA n Anderson Avenue John A. Anderson, for whom Anderson Avenue on the south side of the main campus was named, presided over the Kansas State Agriculture College from 1873 to 1879. Anderson studied theology at Miami University and also attended New Albany Theology Seminary. Before becoming the president of KSAC, he was a Presbyterian Minister. Anderson Avenue is part of old US Highway 24N and was once called Midland Trail. Seth Child Road Although the name of Seth Child Road was often misspelled and confused, citizens with knowledge about the history of Manhattan would agree the person for whom it was named proved important to the story of the city. Seth Child was bom in 1827 and served as postmaster of the nearby community, Juniata, in 1855. The same year Governor Reeder appointed Child Riley County sheriff. When Child died in 1913 he was Manhattan ' s oldest citizen. Child and his wife, Eliza, had one daughter, Ella. Ella Child Carroll went on to graduate from the Kansas State Agriculture College and become a teacher and dre ssmaker. She was the first female at KSAC allowed to join the debate team. Poyntz Avenue The avenue, known today as Poyntz Avenue, was originally known as Main Street but renamed to honor Colonel John Poyntz. Poyntz helped finance the Hartford and the Cincinnati Land Grant Colony ' s trip to Manhattan. Poyntz, however, never visited Manhattan himself. Poyntz split the town between the two companies (the New Boston and Cincinnati Land Grant) that came together to create Manhattan, said Sheryl Collins, director of the Riley County Historical Museum. Itwas the main street. It is weird to have the main street named after a person instead of Main Street. Marlatt Avenue Marlatt Avenue bears the name of the first principal of Bluemont Central College, Washington Marlatt. Marlatt, born in 1829, helped found Manhattan and the Methodist Episcopal Church. Bluemont Central College, which opened its doors January 1860 with 29 students, was the first land-grant college in the United States. Marlatt played a key role in obtaining the grant from the government. in April 1861, Marlatt married Julia Barly. Their house and barn still stand today at 1600 College Avenue. Denison Avenue Bordering the main campus of K-State on the west side, Denison Avenue was named after Dr. Joseph Denison. Denison promoted Blue- mont Central College and served as the first president of Kansas State Agriculture College in 1863. Denison also served as the president of Baker University in Baldwin City. Kan. He studied ancient languages and moral sciences at Wesleyan University in Middletown, Conn. Juliette Avenue Two conflicting stories exist about the origins of Juliette Avenue. One version gives credit to Juliette Lovejoy Whitehom. Her husband, Samuel Whitehom, volunteered at Fort Riley in 1855 and at Fort Hays in 1867. Juliette Whitehom was the first burial in Sunset Cemetery. Another account tells that the street was named for Juliette Hunting, the daughter of Armory Hunting. Hunting was the namesake of Hunting Avenue as well. (Julilette) was probably named after someone who gave a lot of money to the school, Lindsey Younghans, sophomore in economics, said. It seems like everything here is named after people who gave the school money The downtown area of Manhattan along Poyntz Avenue lights up at night. Poyntz Avenue was named by the town association, which named all of the streets located on the orginal plan of the community.

Spending the most money of all potential electorates, Matt Wolters, senior in agricultural education, and Mandy Achilles. sophomore in mass communication, invested $2,599.88. ' e sold T-shirts to get the money for banners and posters, Achilles said. Most students, when they bought T-shirts, would give us $10 instead of S5, so it ' s all been funded by student money. Zac Cook, senior in biological and agricultural engineering, and Todd Kohrnan, senior in marketing and international business, came in second, spending $2,593. The duo spent most of their money on giveaways, trying to provide campaign materials with lasting functions. We participated in the regular events of chalking and hanging posters, but no banners because they can ' t be recycled afterwards, Cook said. We made some long-sleeve purple T-shirts, so people could wear them to football games next year. We also had some hyper gel pens made because we figured that was something people could use. Fund amounts dived more than $1500 from Cook Kohman to the next candidates. Luke Miller, senior in architectural engineering, and Jeremy LaFaver, junior in mass communication, spent $979 on 150 T- shirts and posters. They said they strove fora low-key campaign. We had to really play it by ear with the weather, Miller said. We didn ' t want to spend a lot of money. We just wanted it to be plain and simple, so we hung posters on campus all weekend and sold T-shirts. Slightly over the $500 personal fund limit, Chris Greene, junior in business administration, and Greg Woodyard, sophomore in business administration, used $549.82 to refrain from taking student ' s money. don ' t like taking money f rom people, Greene said. We wanted to sell enough shirts to keep us under our fund limit. We didn ' t chalk or hang posters because we didn ' t want to win based on how many times someone saw our names. We wanted to win on the issues. Ali Karimi, senior in sociology, and Eric Hoopingamer, junior in journalism and mass communications, who passed out fliers and bought radio advertisements, spent $519.02. We ' re just grassrootin it! Karimi said. We passed out 500 handbills. That cost us about $100. We also put some money back into the stu dent-run radio station for some ads. Two pairs of candidates kept their costs under the $500 limit. Michael Day, junior in horticulture, and Tyson Steffen, junior in agricultural economics, paid for the campaign out of their own pockets. We bought T-shirts and put an ad in the paper for three days, Steffen said. We felt chalking and a bunch of fliers blowing around campus was kind of annoying, not to mention expensive. We did buy a banner to hang it from the back of a truck, though. The candidates spending the least amount of money ran on the platform of conservation. Al Gard, senior in English, and Jon Krasnoff, junior in mass communication, chalked and passed out We ' ve done a great deal of this ourselves, Gard said. 1 think we spent less than $30 on the entire campaign. It ' s student government . You shouldn ' t have to spend beaucoup bucks to get elected. Aside from getting their names on sidewalks, trees and people ' s bodies, candidates participated in debates and spoke to various organizations to gauge interests and concerns. Cook said he ran on a platform he recognized while travelling abroad and chose the groups he spoke to accordingly I ran to raise awareness about multicultural issues, Cook said. We spoke to almost all of the multicultural groups around campus. No one had spoken to them. We also visited nearly all the living groups! For some candidates, deciding on a platform was the first part of the campaign process. Karimi and Hoopingamer decided early they wanted students to benefit from existing resources available on campus. The lust thing we did was sit down and think of issues that brought everyone into the fold, Karimi said. We wanted to use existing resources, like Web space and book lists to start a book exchange. The (Union Programming Council) has money, but they don ' t spend it the way we want them to, so we thought we ' d jump in. ' Despite opposing opinions regarding issues and campaigning, candidates said the highlight of the process was getting to meet people and see support for their causes. The best part for me has been walking across campus and seeing someone wearing a T-shirt with my name on it, Achilles said. ' That ' s really cool — to see your supporters and know they ' re out there.

The community of 3,000 faced winds up to 200 mph when the storm hit at 9:30 p.m. An eyewitness called 911, saying the tornado dropped from the sky west of Hoisington. Other reports followed and Hoisington Police took to the streets, warning of the danger. The storm caused total destruction of 85 homes and damage to 30 percent of the buildings, including Clara Barton Hospital, Hoisington High School and other local businesses. One death and 26 injuries resulted, while more than 300 people filled emergency shelters set up by the American Red Cross and The suicide rate for teen-agers and college-aged people increased 31.6 percent in Kansas during the past two decades, becoming the second leading cause of death in the state for the age bracket. K-State shared the impact of the rise when two student suicides occurred between January and April 2001. Sam Wise, junior in park resource management, died Jan. 16, in his apartment of a self-inflicted gunshot wound. On April 6, Andrew Cobb, sophomore in graphic design, jumped from the eighth floor window of Haymaker Hall and was taken to Mercy Health Center were he underwent an operation. Cobb, a member of United Black Voices, died the next day. Although there are many reasons for suicide, studies found depression to be the No. 1 cause among both adults and students. Like other mental illnesses such as schizophrenia and bipolar disorder, depression showed itself in the ages between the late teens and early 20s. As a result, both Kansas and the university established a suicide prevention committee to make counseling available to citizens and students. By Katie Sutton the Salvation Army.

After Joe Allbaugh, di- rector of the Federal Emer- gency Management Agency assessed the storm damage on-site, Gov. Bill Graves drafted a request for federal assistance. President George W. Bush signed the declaration two d ays later, declaring the state of Kansas a major di- saster area and allowing the release of federal funds to help the community recover. The federal funds were used to alleviate the cost of cleanup and repairs for the estimated $43 million in damages. By Lindsey Thorpe Controversial ballot change eliminates hanging chads Six months after the presidential election fiasco, Florida lawmakers approved a ballot change May 4. The ballot overhaul forbade the use of the hanging chads and butterfly ballots that threw Florida into the national limelight during the 2000 presidential election. The legislation, approved 120-0 by the House of Representatives and 38-2 by the Senate, became the most significant election ref orm package in the country. The reform plan also established uniform guidelines for recounts in close elections. The legislation would require a machine recount if the margin of victory was one-half percent or less. It would also require a manual recount of overvotes and undervotes, ballots in which voting machines detect multiple choices or no clear choice, if the margin of victory was one-quarter of one percent or less. The plan also eliminated mechanical lever voting, punchcard and hand- counted paper ballots. Instead, every precinct would have optical-scan ballots, for which each counted allotted $24 million for the equipment. In Georgia, lawmakers passed a similar bill requiring statewide electronic voting systems in use by 2004, but they did not allocate any money to provide for the change. Maryland voted to require all counties to use a uniform voting system by 2002.

Based on 2000 income taxes, taxpayers received a tax refund check of up to $600 in the George W. Bush administration ' s attempt to stimulate the economy. Bush hoped taxpayers would spend at least half of their checks and thus avert a hill-blown recession.

(Photo by Matt Stamey) More than 2,800 residents of Manhattan and Riley County twisted and turned to find their way to the center of Power Cat II corn maze near Stagg Hill Road. The 6-acre corn maze, which opened Aug. 31, was the second extension agriculture specialist Dan Rogers created — the first opened fall 2000. The design centered a licensed Power Cat logo amid a variety of paths and dead ends for patrons to negotiate. Rogers created the maze with the help of his wife, Bev, and their two children. ' The maze is designed over the winter, Rogers said. We sit down and plot it out on a four-by-four sheet of graph paper. It took about 40-60 man- hours to plan out and about 120 hours to cut it out and put into the field. Then you have to maintain it all summer. The family produced a new design, changing the direction and orientation of the Power Cat. 1 think it was another degree more difficult to navigate, Rogers said. There was no time limit to complete the maze and Rogers said people spent 20 minutes to an how among the stalks of corn. Along the paths, trivia boxes were scattered throughout the maze to give visitors something to do if they got lost. To provide a new twist to patrons. flashlight nights showed a different and darker view of the maze. The maze only enforced two rules: visitors couldn ' t pick the corn and they couldn ' t create through their own path through the stalks. Power Cat 11 remainded open until Oct. 28.

The ruling allowed the embryos to be destroyed or donated to research. In 1992, the couple began in•virto fertilization procedures. The woman became pregnant by natural means. When the couple separated in 1996 the woman pressed suit to destroy the remaining embryos because she did not want to become a biological parent against her will. The man wanted the embryos to be donated for research or implanted in a future spouse. August 17, 2001 - - A Kansas City pharmacist was charged by the FBI with one count of misbranding. Robert R Courtney of Kansas City Mo. was accused of diluting chemotherapy drugs Taxol and Gemzar at the Research Medical Tower Pharmacy. Investigators found that some of the intravenous drug bags contained less than one percent of the dosages prescribed by doctors. On Aug. 17, Courtney confessed he diluted the drugs out of greed. Investigators found in one case alone, Courtney saved the pharmacy 3750 by diluting the needed drugs. It was not known if patients were harmed by the dilutions. Courtney was indicted Aug. 23 on 20 new counts of mislabeling and tampering with potentially life-saving drugs.

September • October Sept. 4, 2001 Sept. 30, 2001 Attacks increase economic worries President George W. Bush ' s term began Jan. 20, 2001 amid worries about America ' s economy, with the Federal Reserve Board cutting its key interest rate six times between January and August. As technology-based companies announced poorer earnings than expected, many analysts warned of an economic slowdown. Their worries were confirmed Sept. 11 when New York Cityofficials estimated total economic losses at more than $100 billion and the board announced a seventh interest rate cut. Shortly after the terrorist attacks, government officials admitted the I economy was in a state of recession. Locally, drivers waited in long lines to pay double or triple the regular cost of gasoline at convenience stores.

By Ryan Moore Fife disrupts operations More than 600 tons of hay were destroyed whenthe K-State Dairy Barn caught fire Oct 2. Ronnie Grim K- State director of public safetir, said the blaze started when a skid-steer loader caused a spark, igniting the hay. The ' barn and its contents were a complete I loss. but no people or livestock were injured. Firefighters battled the blaze for several hours before bringing it under control, then remained at the scene doping hot spots for throe days. The barn contained an estimated $5,000 in cottonseed hulls, 200 bales of strawand more than $60,000 in hay. The barn was built north of Marlatt Avenue in 1976 to replace an out-of- date structure burl in 1933 on Denison Avenue. Mike Scheffel, manager of the barn, said despite plans for rebuilding new facilities, the fire was a major setback for the dairy operation. ' e would definitely rather have had nothing happen, Scheffel said. Since all state buildings are self- insured, that means we end up eating that cost. About 15 students worked at the dairy facilities, operated by the Department of Animal Sciences and Industry. Workers improvised by storing hay outside and covering it until a new shed could be completed in February. Scheffel said the new shed ' s 4.000 square feet of floor space would provide room for 400 tons of hay.

The body of Timothy Michael Bennett. environmental design, was re- covered Dec. 6. At presstime. the bod- ies of the other students, Christopher Nathan Shipley, animal sciences and industry, and Kyle David Chapman. computer science, had not been found and were presumed dead. Based on the water ' s temperature, the maximum survival time for a per- son in the water was about two hours and authorities said it was possible for one to lose consciousness in cold wa- ter within 45 minutes to one hour. Approximately 50 people from 10 different agencies participated in what was one of the largest searches in the history of the 13,350-acre lake. The victims had used Chapman ' s yellow Snipe sailboat, a 15 and 1 2 foot racing dinghy. Chapman was said to be an experienced sailor. They set out from the Blue Valley Yacht Club located in Tuttle Cove. The boat was spotted two miles east of the starting location in Carnahan Cove, and Bennett ' s body was spotted along the shoreline deeper inside the cove. Although Bennett was wearing a life jacket when found, he was not wearing it properly. He was probably tried to put it on after falling in the water, au- thorities said.

Company officials reported the technology would only be used to produce replacement cells for patients of diabetes, heart disease, spinal injuries and other such illnesses. Nerve cells from cloned embryos could also be used for treating various brain disorders such as Parkinson ' s and Alzheimer ' s diseases. Cancer patients could benefit from the technology by receiving cloned bone marrow to replace their bone marrow that had been destroyed during chemotherapy. The company created the embryo by injecting an egg with genetic material. The DNA came from a cumulus cell, a cell that helps develop a woman ' s egg. Although the research provided a key step toward therapeutic cloning, Advanced Cell was unable to develop stem cells. Until scientists could develop human stem cells, complete human cloning would remain impossible. The donated eggs came from seven anonymous volunteer donors between ages 24 and 32 with at least one child. Part of Advanced Cell ' s research came from successful animal cloning. The company cloned 30 cattle. six of which died shortly after birth. The remaining cattle developed normally and were capable of reproduction. 8y Jennifer Rezac Lack of funds closes area schools Declining enrollment and budget problems led Manhattan-Ogden USD 333 school board to make the decision to close two schools in the area. Eugene Field and Bluemont elementary schools were closed Not 20. The board intended to close two schools, choosing from a list of: Theodore Roosevelt. Woodrow Wilson, Eugene Field and Bluemont elementary schools. Woodrow Wilson was not closed because of its and Roosevelt remained open due to the high number of students living within walking distance and close proximity to Eugene Field. After the 7-0 vote. board members decided Eugene Field would become the new home of Manhattan ' s Head Start early education program. and would decide the future of Bluemont at a later date. The board decided to close the two schools in order to save money in the district so high school special programs would not be cut. Although the closings alleviated the district ' s budget problems, some programs Would still have to be cut in order to save money. By Jennifer Rezac State proposes new home for research facility After the Sept. 11 terrorist attacks on New York City and Washington, D. C. and the danger of anthrax infections across the nation, biological warfare became a threat to society • The Kansas Board of Regents proposed a biosecure food safety and security research facility at K-State to the Kansas Legislature in November. The $40 million facility would focus on research, developing methods to protect plants and animals from diseases and create a team to secure bioterrorism attack sites anywhere in the state. The proposal also included two other buildings at different locations —a biomedical research building at the University of Kansas and an aviation safety facility at Wichita State University. Biowarfare agents that posed a threat included smallpox, which could cause an epidemic, as well as anthrax. The proposal passed the House of Appropriations Feb. 20, but still had to be approved by the state Legislature and Senate.

The 2001 Series was the first played in November. as the Sept. 11 terrorist attacks pushed the sports schedule back a week. The Series began Oct. 27 at Bank One Ballpark in Phoenix, with Arizona rolling the Yankees 9-1. Arizona continued their lead in Game 2 with a 4-0 win Oct. 28. New York dominated the following three games, all played at Yankee Stadium in New York Oct. 30 to Nov. 1. Game 4 was played in both October and November when the game went into extra innings. Yankee shortstop Derek Jeter hit a home run in the 10th inning at 12:04 a.m. Nov. 1, sealing a 4-3 victory and tying the series Nov. 2001 Jon Ryan Loder, senior in agronomy, died in a car accident the weekend before Thanksgiving break. Loder was found dead in his 1970 Buick Skylark the morning of Nov. 18. The car hit a tree and landed upside down in a river about one mile west of Marquette, Kan., according to police reports. His funeral was at Elm Lutheran Church in Marquette Nov. 23. Loder had worked at K-State ' s Center for Basic Cancer Research during the school year and at Collingwood Grain, Inc. in McPherson, Kan. during the summers. Lance Christopher Donley, senior in agricultural education, was hospitalized Nov.21 after a car accident early that morning. Donley died later that day. His funeral was at the First Presbyterian Church in Ellsworth, Kan. Nov. 24. Donley was a member of Alpha Gamma Rho fraternity. Dec. 12, 2001 When the University of Kansas announced its reception of a gift to the KU Endowment Dec. 12, it was among the three largest gifts the Endowment ever received – and it was from a K-State graduate. A 1933 graduate with a degree in business administration, James L. Sharp sought revenge by bequesting $5 million of his estate to archrival KU. He graduated from K-State in the heart of the Great Depression. Sharp vowed that once he was established, his school would never get a penny out of his estate because he felt the KSU Alumni Association had failed to keep a promise to help him fed a job after graduation. Sharp passed away in 1999 and his wife, Gladys, passed away in 1994. The couple had no children or siblings. Conflicts with online ballot affect election Reacting to the results of the general election, Matt Wolters, senior in agricultural education, and Mandy Achilles, sophomore in mass communication, were announced 2002-2003 student goverment president and vice-president. Wolters and Achilles defeated Zac Cook, senior in business administration, and Todd Kohman, senior in marketing and international business, March 6. Due to several problems with the online vender, iballotcom, a re-election was scheduled for March 27. (Photo by Drew Rose) Problems with iballacom the vendor for K-State ' s Stu- dent Government Associa- tion elections, began a con- troversy Feb. 26 when write- in candidate names for stu- dent government president appeared on ballots. The program initially put any write-in names on the original ballot, giving stu- dents the opportunity tovote for the write-ins. Some can- didates wanted to postpone the election because of con- cems with legitimacy. How- ever, the committe said they felt all candidates were af- fected equally and the prob- lem did not deny anyone the right to vote, so the election continued. The allowed write-ins received 89 votes. Several candidates com- plained about problems with the online ballot. Ted Conrad, senior in finance and elections committee chair, explained that each pair running for office had the light to contest the outcome of the election within two days of the results. The candidates said they also dis- approved of the program allowingvotes to be changed. When voting online, students re- ceived a user name and password, each comprised of eight randomly config- ured numbers and letters. After pro- ceeding to a second browser window, or voting booth, students inserted the codes to cast votes. If students changed their minds, they could re-enter the codes and alter their original ballots. The university selected iballacom because it submitted the least expen- sive bid at $9,000. Conrad said most campuses that offer online ballots have their own systems. He said SGAs long term goal was to handle online voting through K-State instead of relying on an outside source. Conrad said chang- ing the vender yearly created problems because SGA officials had to start over. After the primaty, Matt Wolters. senior in agricultural education, and running mate Mandy Achilles. sopho- more in mass communication, pro- ceeded to the general election against Zac Cook, senior in business adminis- tration, and running mate Todd Kohman, senior in marketing and in- ternational business. Two primary candidates filed com- plaints against the election committee. According to regulations, candidates had to register their campaign with the Office of Student Activities and Ser- vices to be included on the ballot. During general elections. iballacom frustrated candidates fora second time. The program was created to have a vote in each category even if there were no candidates running in that particular office: If students did not vote in each category, the ballot was kicked back, re- randomizing names, but check marks stayed in the original position. Wednesday evening, March 6, Wolters and Achilles were announced as the new president and vice president for 2002-2003. With only 40 votes sepa- rating Cook from Wolters and prob- lems with iballoccom, the elections com- mittee recommended a re-election. The Student Tribunal voted in favor for a re-election March 12.

First in six years, that K-State organized the symposium. Leading the discussion, Andy Hawkins, club president and Senior in animal sciences and industry, speaks to club members at their biweekly meeting, Feb. 7.

Students around the plans country visit K-State for conference na Story by Lindsay Porter Photos by Kelly Glasscock r. Spring 2001, members of the K-State Pre- Veterinary Medicine Club put in a bid to the American Pre-Veterinary Medicine Association to hold the 2002 Pre-Veterinary Symposium in Manhattan, March 22-24. ' You submit things like classes, speakers, convenience — hotels and airports, the school itself and the city of Manhattan, said Andy Hawkins, president and senior in animal sciences and industry. We won the bid. We will be totally in charge of the symposium. The club had to collect sponsors, organize transportation, search for speakers and stay within a budget of $80,000. Visiting students paid $75 registration fees, not including hotel accommodations, but active members of the Pre- Veterinary Medicine Club received a price break. Our club itself had to raise $24,000 and that includes registration fees, Hawkins said. The rest is from top-line budget for everyone showing up. K-State was the only school to organize the symposium three times. We are honored that they want to come back said Ronnie Elmore, associate dean of the College of Veterinary Medicine. We hope to make it worthwhile for them to come back again. Dr. Linda Martin, adviser and professor of animal sciences and industry, accepted a position at the University of Oklahoma, but said she had a condition to the position, that she be allowed to finish out this year to help Pre-Veterinary Medicine Club with the symposium. After 12 years with the group, she wanted to be included in the symposium one last time. It was more than just the symposium. ' Martin said. 1 am teaching three classes and felt like it wouldn ' t be fair to the students who have worked hard on this, to say, ' hey, I ' m leaving. ' I expect students who volunteer for things to follow through and I will follow through, too. The club found speakers from the college for lectures and hands-on labs. Judy Cox, Peter Chenoweth, Fred Ochme and Walter Cash were just a few of the planned presenters. During the symposium, facility tours were offered. K-State is one of the better vet colleges, especially the large animal unit, ' Hawkins said. ' We are centrally located, have good faculty and a large variety of sessions and topics available. ' Cox taught several sessions over alternate medicines, Chenoweth spoke about reproductive behavior, Oehme prepared topics about toxicology and Cash presented a lab over the thoracic viscera, lungs and pleural cavities, of the d og. The school expected 500 students from around the country and 100 from K-State. The Pre- Veterinary Medicine Club offered 33 lectures and five wet-labs for the registered students. The symposium provides a unique opportunity. ' Hawkins said. You get to meet vet students from all over the United States. It gives us a chance to network. Along with meeting professional and future veterinarians, he-Veterinary Medicine Club members learned what it would take to get into a good veterinary college.

Okla.. friends awaited the homecoming of Shelby Reinstein, freshman in pre-veterinary medicine. Plenty of purrs and whistles, not to mention a few hoots, caws, barks and squeaks greeted Reinstein when she brought home her good news. Reinstein pined 15 freshmen as part of the College of Veterinary Medicine Early Admissions Program. Associate Dean of Veterinary Medicine Ronnie Elmore, said the early admittance program served as a recruitment tool, especially for out-of-state students. We know that most of the students would get in any way, Elmore said. A lot of these really bright students, in the past, would not take honors courses or certain electives because they were too worried about getting into the program. Applicants provided an early admissions committee with a minimal ACT score of 29, recommendation letters and an essay describing their interest and experience in veterinary medicine. Sixteen prospective scholars returned for interviews. Fulfilling part of the early admissions requirements, Reinstein dealt with animals regularly. During high school she assumed the responsibility of mothering stray animals through the Animal Rescue Foundation, a nonprofit agency that housed abandoned animals. Reinstein also shared her home with various two and four-legged creatures. I ' ve had everything from dogs and cats, to ferrets, to mice, to owls, to bunnies, to wolves, Reinstein said. My goal is to improve the quality of life for animals everywhere. I treat them and set them free. Before she graduated from high school, Reinstein accumulated internship and employment experiences. She 82 Student Life spent the summer after her junior year earning college credit through animal science studies at Tufts University in North Grafton, Mass. In its third year, the school was pleased with the success of the Early Admissions Program, Elmore said. ' Truthfully, we have not tuned anyone awayyet, Elmore said. But if a student was really not interested, and applied just because it looked easy, or if we questioned their integrity, we ' d turn them down. Once admitted, scholars had to maintain a 3.4 grade point average and complete 70 credit hours toward a bachelor ' s degree, thus securing their spot in the school. Additionally, students met with a faculty mentor and pre- veterinary medicine adviser to ease the journey into graduate school. We ' re trying to produce a lot of camaraderie between students, faculty and advisers, Elmore said. Some of them will drop out because they will decide its not for them. But I don ' t want them to quit because they are not receivingany attention from the school. To me, that would be sad. The veterinary medicine faculty invited early admittance scholars to observe labs, surgeries and clinics as well as to attend special events. We have faculty members lining up, wanting to be mentors for the program, said Ralph Richardson, associate dean of veterinary medicine. ' The whole idea is that working together, you will have a team supporting you, and you can do things once thought impossible. Reinstein said the program would help her reach the goals she set for herself. I ' ve always had really high ambitions, Reinstein said. I don ' t want to settle. Eight years of school is not that much compared to 50 or 60 years of helping these animals. Laura Arnim, freshman in open option, paints Reinstein ' s fingernails while the two relax in their residence hall room. Reinstein was part of the College of Veterinary Medicine Early Admissions Program. I can ' t believe they ' re letting me do this, she said. I can ' t express the utter disbelief and astonishment that I did it. Frustrated by unavaliable rooms in Moore Hall, Shelby Reinstein, freshman in pre- veterinary medicine, and Alicia Ramsey, sophomore in occupational therapy, discuss their living options for spring semester.

Phil Martin, contributed to stem-cell research as a research assistant in the Department of Anatomy and Physiology. With an interest in molecular biology and molecular genetics, Martin joined the department as a worlc-st student during his first year at the College of Veterinary Medicine. I saw he would be one of the best students for the program, said Dr. Deryl Troyer, professor of anatomy and physiology He quickly moved on from the typical things work-study students do, to learning new techniques and doing experiments. Martin worked on a stem-cell project where stem cells were used to grow other cells and tissues for healing. In the main project I ' m working, we take bone marrow cells from cows and inject them into pigs to turn into other tissues, Martin said. It worked wonderfully. The cells turn into about everysingle type of tissue in pigs. My job is to use different techniques to detect those cells. A pig cell looks the same as a cow cell. I figure out where they are by testing for DNA of donor cells. Dr. Kathy Mitchell, assistant professor of anatomy and physiology, said Martin loved being in the lab, spent every free minute there and gave valuable contributions to the research. It ' s amazing he can do that, Troyer said. Phil has a demanding work load from the school, and still comes over here and does experiments. He has tremendous curiosity and important attributions of a student, scientist and researcher. Another project Martin participated in evolved around umbilical cord stem cells. Martin said the department made an important discovery about the umbilical cord cells; the cells grow as nerve cells. That technique will carry great importance in the future. Our goal is to be able to use stem cells as therapies to repair damaged tissue in humans. Martin said. We use animals as models to study mechanisms. Once that works it will switch over to humans. Vets contribute to human medicine because anything put into the body first is used in animals. They share the same physiology. Martin planned to expand his passion for research during two of his fourth- year rotations. At Eli Lilly and Company, a pharmaceutical company in Indianapolis, Ind., and johns Hopkins University in Baltimore, Md., Martin said he would work with products screened in animals and with the animals used for research.

Instead, Mikos remained on the track team and entered the College of Veterinary Medicine. Mikos said she didn ' t choose to attend K-State because of track or the veterinary medicine program. I ' ve always laced K-State. Mikos said. I really didn ' t think I was college caliber (track). But when I came down to visit the college and the coach told me I could walk on, it didn ' t sound like a bad idea. Apparently itwasn ' t a bad idea. Mikos finished in the top 10 of the Big 12 in all three of her events, outdoor discuss and hammer and indoor 20- pound weight. She helped lead the outdoor women ' s track team to a Big 12 championship for the first time in K-State history. Carole Mikes, Leslie ' s mother said Leslie had always wanted to be a veterinarian. As young as four Leslie helped her father on their farm. We ' ve raised horses, cattle and sheep? Carole said. Her dad gives shots and works with the animals. Leslie has been in on that since she was four? The transition to graduate school was difficult, Mikos said. Because she attended class 10 hours each day, time management was essential, she said. • This year is different from my undergraduate years because my academic schedule is more challenging, Mikos said.

Because of my schedule I can ' t work out as much as my teammates. she said. I probably get to work out about half the amount my teammates do: Despite time restrictions, the team voted Mikos as women ' s throwing team captain. Mikos said her captain duties included being a confidant to teammates and setting an example. Because she walked on as a freshman, Maws encouraged others to do the same. Some people hesitate to walk on because they won ' t get the rewards right away, she said. But if it ' s something you love to do. do it. I think I ' ve come a long way. Coach Steve Fritz said Mikos was a positive influence for the team. She is good to have around, she works very hard and puts a lot of effort into everything she does, Fritz said. She has always led by example and that hasn ' t changed at all since entering graduate school. Mikos said track helped her deal with the added pressure graduate school brought.

I ' o: Ask Peggy Frazier why you should spend $2,000 to treat a terminally ill dog and she will tell you about a miracle named Dandy. The 16-pound black and white Shih-Tzu lost his fight with lymphoma Dec. 2. It was a fight that went on longer than anyone expected. I ' ve grown attached to him, just like he ' s my kid, Frazier said. wish he could have lasted forever? Frazier brought Dandy home 13 years ago as a six- month-old puppy. In August 2000, he was diagnosed with lymphoma and expected to live up to one year. Surpassing the statistical odds, Dandy passed away a year and four months later. Dandy was an exception to the rule, Frazier said. He was definitely a miracle puppy first suspicion something was wrong came when she felt lumps in the groin area while giving Dandy a massage. She took him to K-State ' s Veterinary Medical Teaching Hospital for examination with a team of students and professional veterinarians. A lot of people think. ' why treat a dog when it will only live for six months? ' Laura Garrett, oncology assistant professor, said. ' They think that animals don ' t handle medication well, but they do. The majority have no side effects with the chemotherapy. A dog will come out wagging its tail and you would never know it ' s on it: Dandy qualified for the Bayer Research Program at the hospital. The program covered all treatment expenses until the cancer went into remission. Thirteen months later when the cancer came out of remission, Dandy was no longer eligible for the research program and treatment expenses became the owner ' s responsibility. Frazier weighed the costs of treating her dog but said she had no second thoughts about her decision to have Dandy treated a second time. it ' s a lot of money to spend on a dog, but he ' s been through a lot with me, Frazier said. He brought me lots of joy. Money wasn ' t an issue? Students and doctors at the hospital focused on improving Dandy ' s quality of life through medical treatment and loving care. We are looking for quality of life, not quantity Garrett said. If the animal is happy and the owner is happy, then we ' re happy Frazier took Dandy to the hospital weekly for scheduled treatments and cheik-ups.

He also has his own thermometer with his name on it: Frazier kept doggy as well for Dandy in case of a reaction to the chemotherapy. Frazier said the doctors and students, including Casey Ramsel, fourth-year veterinary medicine studcnt, showed a deep concern for the physical and mental well-being of Dandy and herself. I can tell they care about their patients, Frazier said. ' They treat me very well. The students would call me at home and ask how I was doing. They were concerned about how I was as well as Dandy. You don ' t forget things like that Bringing Dandy in for regular treatments allowed the doctors and oncology students to get to know Frazier and form more than just a doctor-patient relationship. Sometimes you get attached to them, Frazier said. I got attached to Casey. When Dandy pw.od away, Ramsel gave Frazier Dandy ' s paw print mold. Painted black with a clay Pink Panther attached to it, Frazier said the gift showed how much those at the hospital cared. Dandy used to have a Pink Panther stuffed animal that would go with him to the hospital; Frazier said. We buried him with it: Frazier and her husband laid Dandy to rest at the home they built in the fall. I ' ll see him everyday now out my kitchen window, Frazier said. Recalling favorite memories of Dandy brought a smile to Frazier ' face:Every Christmas Dandy tore open his present with his teeth: she said. He knew exactly which one was his. He loved to go for car rides, too. I would lay down the backseat and he would have it all to himself. 90 Student Life With an IV needle and accessories, Peggy Frazier gives Dandy fluids.

' They see to clients, decide on a treatment plan and after discussing it with the assistant professor, they help run the tests. Ramsel said she helped administer the drugs, chemotherapy, and supportive therapy. antibiotics and fluids, when Dandy had a reaction to the chemotherapy. Ramsel formed a special relationship with Frazier during the clinical rotation. Mrs. Frazier called me Dandy ' s second mother, which is really sweet of her, Ramsel said. She was one of the best owners I ' ve ever worked with. How much she loves Dandy is really obvious because she wanted him to have a really high quality of life and she was willing to go to great lengths to see that happen? After Ramsel ' s three-week rotation, she continued to check on Dandy and his owner, Peggy Frazier. I spent a lot of time with Dandy, Ramsel said.

Investigating the five best selling products on the market, Dryden said K-State played an integral role in the development of products. Our research has world-wide scope, Cassie Luke, sophomore in open option, said. I never realized how much research could be done with fleas. It says a lot for K-State to house research, especially when companies seek us out? Dryden ' s research resulted in more than 50 publications, 60 presentations and 250 seminars in 20 different countries. . Seeing him in action is so much fun, Erickson said. You ' ll never meet anyone more excited or energetic about something so annoying as fleas. Hired at K-State July 1990, Dryden became an international expert on flea activity ' The rest is history: he said. The flea team was put together and (K-State) rapidly became the premiere institute in the country for researching and evaluating flea products. Research ranged from basic development of products to full-scale expansion of flea treatments. The most common activity involved setting a dose range for products to reach effective and sustainable levels. It has been a true team effort, Dryden said. Conducting a project of this magnitude takes a number of people since no one person can do or know it all. Everyone has strengths and weaknesses, you find a strength to fill a weakness. While the lab did not conduct safety studies, the team initiated research products generating useful information for pet owners and veterinarians. Our studies think outside of the box, he said. We do not conduct any feed-and-read tests like a commercial contract laboratory. Focusing on flea prevention, Dryden said the end result of product research development bettered the life of pets. Armed with data, veterinarians can make choices, he said.

There are a few who have always had pets before, but can ' t have them here, Beak said. it ' s special for them to be able to pet a dog, or have a cat sit in their lap again. One St. Joseph resident was exceptionally receptive to the animals, said Finnegan. When we would visit, the nurses would page Betty over the intercom and tell her she had visitors? Finnegan said. She ' s always so enthusiastic t o see us? Formerly an employee of an animal shelter, Betty ea- gerly shared her experiences with her visitors.

Members of Pets and People owned most animals in- volved in the program. The majority of animals were dogs, but cats, birds and rabbits had been involved as well, Browne said. Those without pets took blood-donor dogs owned and cared for by the College of Veterinary Medicine. To ensure the safety of the participants, animals in the program were required to pass the Delta Society Pet Part- ners temperament test. The 20-minute test placed the pets in a series of situations. Distractions such as wheel- chairs and loud noises were presented to the animals, their reactions monitored closely. make sum the ani- mals are okay with it, Browne said.

Drake The honors of Sept. 11 unfolded for most on a televi- sion screen, but for four K-State-Salina pilots, news of the attacks was broadcast in their planes. I was in the air when I heard about the attacks, Bethanie Unruh, sophomore in airway science, said. When we were ordered to land I was confused, but we ' ve been trained how to deviate to other airports in case something comes up. Kelsey Osborne, sophomore in airway science, said he just took off from Salina and tuned into an AM news sta- tion when a broadcaster interrupted the program informing listeners of the first plane crash. Both Unruh and Osb- orne, on their way back from McCook, Neb., in different airplanes, were directed to land in Osborne, Kan. The two waited there from 10:30 a.m. to 4 p.m. until Eric Shappee, flight instructor and assistant professor in aviation, picked them up. The only thing Osb- orne ' s airport has is a bath- room: Osborne said. The mayor of Osborne came and picked us up and took us to his house where we watched the news. Eakin, country. Mayor and 1987 K-State graduate, saw the two student pi- lots walking back toward the airport from town as he drove home for lunch. He approached them and explained there wasn ' t a hospitality room, but they were welcome to relax at his house. It was a strange situation because they were totally un- aware of what had happened, Eakin said. I ' m thankful they were able to land safely. Adama Allmond, junior in airway science, said he didn ' t know why he was being instructed to land as he flew back from downtown Kansas City, Mo. Just before 9 a.m. he landed at Topeka Billard airport and called his flight instruc- tor in Salina. He told me the basics of what had happened; Allinond said. After I got off the phone I went inside and watched the news. I was shocked. It was terrible and I definitely un- derstood why we had to land. Almond said he talked about the unfolding events in the airport restaurant with several stunned passengers. I just couldn ' t believe what 1 was seeing, Almond said. it was hard to imagine that someone would use our planes 96 , Life to kill our people. Tom Karcz, flight instructor and senior in professional pilot, said he was flying back from Kansas City, Mo., when the Federal Aviation Administration instructed him to land immediately at the nearest airport. He said the announce- ment was not a request, but an order. When we were told to land it caught me off guard: Kara said. We landed at Lawrence and saw the (World Trade Center) towers collapsing on TV. I was in total shock. Questions were raised about airline safety after the Sept. 11 attacks. All we are taught about hijacking is to put a code into the airplane ' s transponder and that alerts a hijacking: Allmond said. We ' re told the best thing to do is go along with the hijackers de- mands. Allmond suggested put- ting armed marshals aboard airliners to make flights safer. He said it had been done before and no problems of this magnitude had oc- curred. Almond, Unruh and Osborne said they agreed with installation of steel cockpit doors in addition to keeping them locked throughout the flight. I don ' t like the idea of having pilots with guns, Allmond said. The pilot ' s responsibility is to fly the plane. It ' s so easy to get engrossed in flying that if someone made it into the cockpit, the pilot couldn ' t react and the hijacker would then have a gun. It ' s too easy a target for hijackers. Karcz disagreed with having firearms but said he thought any gun in the cockpit should not have normal bullets. If they do put guns in the cockpit they should make them with rubber or disintegrating bullets, Karcz said. There are too many things that can go wrong if the bullet misses its target Protection methods were not the only concern K-State- Salina pilots faced. Many pilots were discouraged by the low availability of jobs after the attacks. Karcz graduated in December and expected to get a job with American Eagle, a regional affili- ate of American Airlines, where he interned the previous summer. They ' re not even taking applications, he said. I ' m a young guy though. I can Wait. Hight Instructor Thomas Kara accompanied freshman Jake Bradley during a flight to downtown Kansas City.

Students expanded their academic scope by enrolling in elective courses like Palm Computers in Education, Beginning Fencing, Topics in 19th Century America or hundreds more. They learned in and out of the classroom and not always on campus. Friends and alumni of the College of Technology and Aviation at K-State-Salina came together in October to celebrate the 10-year partnership between the schools. A celebration of a different kind occurred when the glee clubs visited the University of Nebraska to sing with the Comhuslcer choirs. Practicing songs since the first week of classes, individuals formed several sections of the choirs to produce harmonized ' 1 0C26. Preparation and planning played an important role in college life.

In the distance, a dense fog clouded the sky. As students walked from the did road, the ghostly forms of old headstones appeared out of the fog. As they entered Cholera Cemetery the stillness of the early morning enveloped them, and at the Vermillion River, ruts from an old wagon train were evident in the hardened mud. Katie Davis, sophomore in open-option, said if students closed their eyes they could see the Oregon Trail wagons surrounded with swirling dust, waiting their turn to cross the river. Students in Charles Sanders Topics of 19th Century America experienced this piece of history. Sanders, assistant professor of history, took the students to sites where the Oregon Trail passed through Kansas so they could experience it firsthand. I try to bring the experience and history alive for students: Sanders said. It ' s one thing to read about it or to read about infant modality, hardships and cholera, but it ' s another thing to stand on the spot and imagine the wagons around you. You can actually see the ruts in the ground where the wagons crossed. Students can make the connection? It was the wagon wheel ruts embedded in the banks of the Vermillion River that brought the reality of the Oregon Trail home for Aaron McCaffery, junior in history It definitely helps to see where people were, he said. Showing us the river crossing really brought it home that doing this wasn ' t easy. Sanders also helped his class make connections by dispelling common myths about the Oregon Trail, such as the belief of the trail as a desolate trip with one wagon meandering its way to the West Coast. Sanders sai d the trail looked more like a wagon-filled version of Interstate 70. One of the most significant aspects of the trip was that everything were taught has a lot of mythology involved and not a lot of facts: Davis said. Part of this trip was busting up myths. Sanders also brought history alive by having students use their imaginations to see his descriptions within their minds. Sanders did a really good job of allowing us to see it through our mind ' s eye, Davis said. Through his descriptions and the readings, I could close my eyes and imagine seeing hundreds of wagons and the dust everywhere. Some of it is almost unbelievable? Later in the trip, Sanders broke into the historical reverie to tell students they were going to experience trail life directly by cooking in a Dutch oven with buffalo chips. I asked the students to imagine cooking with buffalo chips, so I went out to the Konza Prairie and got some buffalo chips, Sanders said. We started us a buffalo chip fire. Davis said the tactics used made the class interesting. Knowing Sanders, collecting buffalo chips wasn ' t really a surprise, Davis said. It was really interesting. It probably took us 20 tries to light the chips with matches, she said He gets us really involved and it ' s hands-on. mat ' s one of the coolest things about his class.

At 6:30 a.m. the next day, those in line or in tents, awoke to enroll in classes through DCE. Students who arrived that morning heard the classes were already full. Adam Wieden, junior in management information systems, waited for six and one- half hours to enroll in Accounting for Investing and Financing, which was offered through DCE in a CD-ROM format, by special appointment or at Fort Riley on Monday and Wednesday nights. It wasn ' t that I wanted to take the class at continuing ed., but the acceptability of getting into IC-State ' s classes is slim, Wieden said. I needed the class to stay on track Accounting classes filled quickly, leaving students unable to progress in their sequence.

Murmurs of approval circulated the small room as Amy Watkins, graduate student in secondary education, recounted her success in petitioning her school district for a grant to purchase handheld computers for her eighth grade science classroom. Watkins, a science teacher at Sedgwick (Kan.) High School, requested the computers after seeing their capabilities during a fa112001 Division of Continuing Education class, Palm Computers in Education. With board approval, her classroom became the first in Unified School District 439 to use the computers in the curriculum. Watkins said the students would use probe attachments with the computers to measure pH levels, temperature and turbidity, or water clarity of nearby Little Arkansas River. 1 saw a Palm, and I saw how it could be applied to a science classroom, Watkins said. They are so much better than sticking a thermometer in water. Thermometers are great, but you can ' t even measure to one-tenth of a degree. These are much more accurate than other types of data collection.

This was the second semester the class was offered. Students completed the course work through two class sessions and through the Internet. it ' s a pioneer class. We were working with handhelds and decided we needed a class for it, Pownell said. Hand helds weren ' t around until 1996, so they ' re just catching on. Its a new technology and a lot of people still don ' t even know about them. Students took the class to gain a better understanding of technology. In the meantime, the idea forum setting of the class inspired many to fund uses for the computers other than grade and behavior tracking. One goal of the class was learning how to use the technology to interact with their students. Some used camera attachments to turn their computers into digital cameras and put together virtual tours of their school. Emily Pezzola, graduate student in secondary education, used translation programs to bridge language barriers between her class and one of her students. The reason I ' m taking classes and working on my master ' s so early in my career is I continue to be inspired by other ideas. Pezzola said. I think I have learned more in this class about technology in general than in all of the classes I ' ve ever taken. 8y Katie Sutton Photo by Matt Stamey Apparel, Textile Interior Design Architecture Front row: Meiody Lehew, Migette Kaup, Elizabeth McCullough, Gita Ramaswamy.

By understanding proper dining etiquette practices. students can focus more on the content and conversation of the dinner interview therefore making a better impression on the employer, said Jessica Heller, Career and Employment Services event coordinator and graduate student in family studies and human services. They no longer have to worry and stress about which fork to use, they can relax and appear more natural during the interview.

The two men attacking each other participated in Beginning Fencing offered through the University for Man. Meyer, a certified coach, instructed the students how to attack and parry, or block an attack. Fencing interested Josh Adrian, sophomore in agriculture education, for a number of reasons. Adrian had already taken a fly- fishing course through UFM, and the college of agriculture offered the fencing course as an elective. However, Adrian enrolled in the class because it sounded like fun. Four of us are in a fraternity together, and we thought it would be pretty fun, he said. Besides, I used to beat my friends with sticks. This is a way ,for me to keep beating people with sticks.

CowParade, an outdoor art exhibition came to Kansas City June 8 to Sept. 14. Decorated cows lined streets, stood in parks and welcomed customers to shopping centers. CowParade, the world ' s largest public art event, coordinated area artists, displayed the finished projects, and repaired the weather and pedestrian damage to the cows themselves. Moo in June ' was donated through the art department. After gaining official support from the administration, the project advanced into planning stages. Our work created a beautiful, aesthetic object from the hands of students, Winston Branch, associate art professor, said. It was a practical combination of student work on a single piece Along with the University of Vermont ' s gift, K-State was the only other school to receive a donated cow. We did it for K-State, Branch said. It was a universal vignette to show the different disciplines of what K-State stood for as the first land-grant school in the nation. We incorporated agriculture, sciences, humanities and art. The planning and designing preceded the arrival of the actual product. Sketches lined studio walls and life- sized cutouts surrounded the open floor, Branch said. We spent a lot of time drawing dozens and dozens of ideas that went on to be displayed at Vamey ' s Book Store. said Jack Hayes, senior in fine arts and graduate student in philosophy When we finally got the statue, we were primed and ready to explode on the 8-foot cow Branch turned five K-State students loose to paint the 100-pound, life-sized fiberglass mold. The student artists painted the sculpture in approximately eight hours and detailed the finishing touches the next day. After applying several coats of protective sealant, the cow was complete. The six K-State artists were the last crew to turn in the cow, since they did not receive the mold until a week before the project was due, Hayes said. Before CowParade left town, 60 of the final works were auctioned for charity. The Temple B ' nai Jehudah Jewish synagogue bought the K-State cow for $6,500. Working independently attracted Micah Tenner, senior in psychology and fine arts, to the project. team of students who were assembled would have conflicted if we would have had to find one idea, Tenner said.

For 10 years the schools have experienced a successful partner- ship. Don Buchwald, professor of mechani- cal engineering technology said the school often faced closure in the early days. Many times we fought off the efforts to close the (Schilling) Institute and endured being shifted to different state boards of control, he said. ' This type of educa- tion is very expensive with the cost of maintaining quality laboratories and equipment. (Photo by Mike Shepherd) 114 in •the a Tradition continues at K-State-Salina The flags of K-State and Salina, Kan., flew side by side, overlooking a school that experienced unimaginable improvement over the past 35 years. In 1965, the College of Technology and ion was created through an act of the nsas Legislature. The bill established the Schilling Institute, which offered two-year programs in science and engineering technology. Between 1969 and 1991, the college ' s name changed three times, finally, after merging with K-State, it became K-State- Salina College of Technology and Aviation. The school underwent more changes than its name. Don Buchwald, professor of mechanical engineering technology, who began teaching re the semester it opened in 1966, witnessed every change. Buchwald said the week before classes started that first year only 50 students were enrolled, so he and other faculty members took matters into their own hands. We drove around the state all week recruiting; Buchwald said. Four faculty were sent to the four corners of Kansas. I had the northeast quarter of the state — Salina to Kansas City to the Nebraska border? They visited young and old, explaining what the school had to offer. We started by searching out those individuals who had made inquires for more information on this new technical school in Salina, Buchwald said. ' They were recent high school graduates, individuals out of high school for a few years working, former college students who had dropped out of college and veterans? Buchwald and his colleagues used various tactics to convince students to come. We were given the authority to write small sponsorships if necessary and buy meals for the prospects and families; Buchwald said. I didn ' t use these tactics much myself: Their efforts were realized when they returned to Salina with more than 40 recruited students. The next year, they did the same thing during Spring Break and summer. ' If you believe in this type of education as I do, Buchwald said, nothing is going to stop you from educating the general public as to its importance? Buchwald said he was not quite sure why he believed in the school so much. IMO a By Alison Brown The College of Technology and Aviation taught flight control using more than 40 airplanes. Don Buchwald, professor of cal engineering technology, said at the establishment of the college many students didn ' t realize what was offered. They did not realize we were a state technical college dealing with engineering ogy and related fields, he said. (Photo by Mike Shepherd) Sag ' The problems today are not any easier than those of the early days when we would come back in the evening to build walls, equipment and paint buildings, Buchwald said. 1 guess it just became a part of my life. We were just like one big family — sometimes we got along, and sometimes we didn ' t? Buchwald said he believed it was worth all the costs. This type of education is so important to the world today, particularly in Kansas, ' Buchwald said. ' The hands-on training is such an important part of our programs? Buchwald realized early students were pioneers in coming to the school. the greatest and most significant factor about the college to me is the graduates we have produced, Buchwald said. The effect they make in business and industry. both in Kansas and around the world is tremendous.

He was interested in children ' s literature and proposed the class to the administration. Net said after the first three days of enrollment, the class was full. Interest in children ' s literature exploded unlike ever before. Although The Boxcar Children and Sweet Valley High books were popular in their era, thei r popularity was widely surpassed by J.K.

Nothing has ever been popular like the ' Many Potter books, ' said Bergen, head of the children and youth services at the Manhattan Public Library It ' s not in the same realm as other series. The English department has long offered children ' s literature courses for students to relive classics such as Anne of Green Gables and ' The Chronicles of Namia, but during spring semester the department opened a class titled. Harry Potter ' s Library: j.K. Rowling. Texts and Contexts. Harry Potter ' s Library, created and taught by assistant professor, Philip Net examined the current phenomenon as well as other contemporary children ' s fantasy works. College students don ' t often have a chance to take classes in something they are interested in, Nel said. I hope they will be introduced to more than ' Harry Potter. Hany Potter should serve as an introduction to fantasy literature and children ' s literature. Besides the Harry Potter books, the class will look at Roald Dahl ' s James and the Giant Peach, Philip Pullman ' s The Golden Compass and five others. as well as secondary readings. Many of the works well read have a mix of realism and fantasy Nel said. ' That is true of the Hany Potter books: there is a sense of an ordinary boy and great magic. Meghan Williams, senior in mathematics, enrolled in Harry Potter ' s Library because she was drawn in by the title. She wanted to look deeper into the books. Every novel introduces some new mystery Nel said. There is as much mystery and pleasures Harry Potter books as in reading ' Hamlet. ' We all agree that Shakespeare is a good writer, but children don ' t cuddle up to it.

As the first words of the University of Nebraska fight song escaped from their mouths, the audience erupted. Nebraskans and Kansans alike cheered and clapped. Suddenly, as the men transitioned into the K-State portion of the Big 12 medley. voices from the audi- ence overtook the group and alumni present in the audi- ence finished the song with them. The glee club, of- fered as a class in the music department, mocked other Big 12 schools ' fight songs in the medley without concern or reservation, Gerald Polich, associ- ate music professor and glee instructor, said. ' The Big 12 medley has been sung at al- most every men ' s glee concert since it was written in 1967, Polich said. It ' s all in fun. The men sang the song during the 34th Annual Big Sing, a concert between Nebraska ' s choirs and K-State ' s glee dubs. The concert took place before the rival football game every year, alternating venues depend- ing on which college hosted the game. Nebraska accommodated the 2001 Big Academics Sing, Nov. 8 at the Trinity United Methodist Church. Although the event was organized as a concert and not a challenge, Luke Bauer, junior in feed science and pre-pharmacy, said there was still a antagonistic edge to the meet- ing. ' There are definitely competitive under- tones, Bauer said. ' We want to outdo Ne- braskans. so it is competitive. In the Big 12 medley. we always make fun of Nebraska. but when we are at Nebraska, we turn it up. We have a pizza dinner afterwards and there ' s a lot of good-natured ribbing going on. Although the concert hinted at competi- tion, Joan Buchholz, freshman in dietetics, said the singers did not feel nervous before per- forming. She said she just warmed up and re- membered it was all in fun. Evidence of the light attitude was found in the men ' s a cappella group. The group per- formed a piece of vocal percussion, which meant turning their voices into human instru- ments. Bauer, member of the a cappella group, said the men stumbled onto the concept. It isn ' t that hard because there is nothing to follow or learn, he said. It ' s different ev- ery time. We were just messing around one day, and we thought it sounded cool. It just kind of happened. Despite a lighthearted attitude, the two glee clubs practiced for weeks before the con- cert to prepare for singing with Nebraska. ' We have been rehearsing since the first day of classes: Polich said. we have had several performances before this. We want this one to be very good. 120 Resting their eyes and voices, Christine Horton, sophomore in open option, and Mandy Zelch, sophomore in early childhood education, steep on the bus to the concert in Lincoln, Neb.

K-State offered a standout program with many aspects and opportunities to interact with different aged kids all in the same building, Renovated and expanded, the Stone House Hoeflin Early Childhood Education Center and the Chandler Institute for Child and Family Studies offered K-State students practical opportunities to gain classroom experience in three separate programs. The first priority of Stone House involves early childhood teacher education, said Mary DeLuccie, director of early childhood programs. While we provide high-quality child care, the community really benefits. For the first time since their start, the full-day Stone House program, early childhood laboratory experience and new infant and toddler programs were housed under the same-roof, she said. Alumni and private funding for the facility ' s additions totaled more than $1.7 million, DeLuccie said. Crediting the increased capabilities, the latest program addition included an infant and toddler program which opened its doors Oct. 22 to eight participants. Convenience has been the largest benefit, said Luann Hoover, program director for early childhood laboratories. it has been easier to collaborate with shared resources and staff. Installed in phases, the complete facility included Playground equipment, a tricycle track, landscaped courtyard, complete classroom furnishings and technology to allow for the future, Hoover said. Equipped with cameras and microphones, six classrooms and a research suite have been wired to deliver feeds to an on-site classroom, observation booth and distance education sites via Telenet2 lines. Distance Education and Dole Hall were consulted to ensure we not only met technology needs for today, but also for years down the line, DeLuccie said. The package includes the future capacities to allow parents to access the audio and video feed over secure websites: As an interagency with Manhattan-Ogden USD 383, Stone House offered classes for handicapped students. As a community, we helped to support a part of the strong early childhood network, DeLuccie said. We meet frequently with partners and collaborated to meet the needs of students. There is a distinct effort to stay diverse to give our students a well-rounded experience. The programs allowed students to apply practical teaching methods to meet the needs of students, said Lou West. program director for Stone House. ' The actual hands-on experience of working in the programs is invaluable, West said. It integrates and solidifies the connection of theory and reality. More than 85 undergraduates and 25 distance education students worked to earn a degree in the Early Childhood Program. Through (our supervised internships, students were required to log 500 hours in a variety of programs and child populations. Due to the recognized importance of the first five years of life, the sky is the limit, DeLuccie said. Graduates could work with school districts, hospitals, corporations, military or other programs to work with children anywhere from infants to school age. Erasing her doodles, Sarah Middendorf, 3, plays on a marker board during activities time at Stone House. Students in early childhood education were able to intern at Stone House.

The class made me look deeper at things and definitely weigh out the values of right and wrong, Jan Coles. biology instructor, organized the 70 students as they challenged ethical principles of research as well as other areas of science. When I started teaching the class three years ago. I expanded the curriculum to include discussions of ethics in the environment, science and medicine, Coles, said. I wanted to bring ethical issues to a level where students can examine the issues and arguments without getting lost in philosophical terminology. The class challenged students ' thinking through various types of assignments including issues and reflection papers, group projects, class discussions, role-playing and position arguments. The debates allowed students to talk a lot by coming up with ideas from both sides and presenting them in class, Conaway said. it made me consider many things I had never thought of before like cloning, designer babies and developing technology. Birky said the class covered a diverse curriculum. Our objective was to gain a practical understanding of the ethical dilemmas present in the scientific world, Birky said. To accomplish this, we looked at viewpoints held by a variety of bioethicists, reading many of their works. This included writing summaries of news articles. Broadening the possibilities, the class examined situations on imaginary ideals t o link them to ethical standards, Coles said. I want students to learn to articulate their thoughts and develop sound arguments for their opinions and ideas, she said. Our students are the future decision-makers. They must be able to develop logical arguments if they are to be heard. Biology Instructor, tart Coles. teaches bioethics.

Regulatory guidelines hinged on the Animal Welfare Act of 1966. this act, funding streams could be cut off. The bar is always creeping up, Jaax said. Screws work one way, they get tighter. What is adequate this year may not work next year. Researchers were reminded of policies to avoid conflicts of interest, Ted Know, associate vice provost for research, said. Ethics boil down to resisting temptations. Knous said. Researchers must find ways to apply ethics and understand why not to do anything unacceptable. We strictly encourage responsibility in conducting research with scientific and scholarly emphasis. In the last three years, only one violation was reported and that was due to outdated equipment. The matter was addressed and corrected. Jaax said. Depending on the seriousness, non-compliance cases resulted in an initial investigation and notification to governmental officials, Swanson said. Projects not in compliance faced minor tweaking to complete overhaul. Research applications were detailed and complicated, Jaax said. Every research proposal must complete certain requirements before implementing the project. It is the cost of doing business, Jaax said.

By trying to locate a specific gene, university researchers attempted to find a stock of cattle superior to those already produced. it ' s a genetic evaluation process, said Michael Dikeman, project co-developer and meat scientist. We hope to identify bulls superior in tenderness or meat quality The 34 million research effort, tided the Carcass Merit Traits Project, was initiated in 1998 combining group and individual research components into a single study. The core of the research involved finding cattle with superior beef qualities and breed- ing them with other superior cattle, eliminat- ing animals that produce tough or low-quality meat. Possible outcomes of the project in- clude blood tests for quality DNA markers that could predict the level of tenderness of beef.

We hope to make a perma- nent improvement in beef tenderness, as well as other meat quality traits: Eliminating a section of the cattle popula- tion through breed- ing was not an ethi- cal concern as the im- provements were gradual.

Ted Schroeder, agricultural economist, said. It was our focus to deter- mine if consumers who desire this value would pay a premium for the improved attributes. In a two-part study conducted in three Midwest urban retail grocery stores, 313 cus- tomers were tested for their meat tenderness preference. The first group did not !mowwhich of the selections was tender, while the second group got to see the labels, said agricultural economist James Minted. The test results showed 69 percent of con- sumers preferred ten- der meat and were willing to pay up to a $1.23 more per pound for guaranteed tender beef. Bothcat- egories increased when the groups viewed the label guar- anteeing tenderness. The tenderness ap- proval rating jumped to 84 percent and the price leapt to 31.84 more per pound. There were still economic concerns about how the money would get back to the farmers. Researchers did not know if the money spent on breeding advanced cattle would find its way back to the producers, Dikeman said. At this point, all we can say is that we have at least three studies done that say con- sumers will pay more for guaranteed tender meat, he said.

Students examined those ingredients in Baking Science Lab. Students look at different kinds of flours while baking cakes, variety breads such as French and rye and other pastry items, said Marvin Willyard, instructor of grain science and industry. We are less into retail baking and more into the science of baking. Students in the bakery science and management program of the Department of Grain Science and Industry spent 15 hours in lab each week. We want the students to get a familiarization of products under different processes. VViltyard said. The process is more important than the formula. Some products the lab students created were bagels, cookies, donuts and pizza crusts. We got experience working with different baked products. said Emily Squiric, senior in bakery science and management. We learn how all the equipment works and to weigh ingredients properly Stephanie Blanche, graduate student in grain science, said she was eager to learn anything about the processing and operations of machines. The main objective is to have a general understanding about baking scientifically, Blanche said. You need to kam the physical and chemical points. The main purpose is to understand what happens when you bake, observing the phenomenon when you mix ingredients and finding the specialties of the ingredients. Willyard said what the students learned in lab would follow then into their careers. He said as bakery science and management majors they could go into several areas such as sales, marketing, production management or research.

The accreditation team ensured accountability to 24 requirements and Inn criteria, Downey said. They served as consultants to the institution by offering some of their insight based on a wide variety of advice and experience. ' A 10-member regional team from Midwest institutions composed the Higher Learning Commission of the North Central Association of Colleges and Schools. Responsible for examining the overall scope of the university, the commission scrutinized each college and numerous departments. in consumer terms, the idea of reaccredidation incorporated the fact that students, who are our consumers, have to know what they are getting with a stamp of approval, Downey said. Instead of focusing on a list of Fami(Studies complaints, the concentration of the commission centered on methods to improve the existing programs: The team received a self-study report documenting nearly every aspect of the university from faculty and students to facilities. Lack of curricular diversity and performance assessment were two concerns brought up during the visit. The focus was concerned with diversity of curricular issues in terms of preparing students to work in an increasingly diverse world, Downey said. When we say students will lean something, we need outcomes to show it has been done. In addition to the university-wide reaccreditation, areas within the campus underwent their own reaccreditation.

K- State administration worried about enrollment numbers. They saw the University of Nebraska that had already moved to selective admissions, experience a drop of 500 students even after winning the 1997 NCAA National Championship in football. We used the lag time effectively, said Pat Bosco. associate vice president of institutional advancement and dean of student life. We used that time to educate students, parents and high school personnel of the changes in standards? K-State ' s methods were indeed effective as enrollment reached an all-time high of 22,396, up almost 1,000 students from last year. It ' s a great tribute to K-State students and families? Bosco said. As early as the ninth grade, they (students and families) had begun planning on raising the bar to qualify. This was an unexpected surprise? Students had mixed feelings about the new standards, which were a high school grade point average of 2.0 or higher (2.5 for out-of-staters). a score of 21 or higher on the American College Testing Program, or graduation in the top one-third of their respective graduating classes. K-State is probably going to be a lot better, Abby Foust, sophomore in elementary education, said. A lot of things are developing more, and there are great teachers out there with encouragement for students to go to college? Chris Vinson, freshman in business administration, was part of the 2001 freshmen class, which boasted the highest ACT average, 24, and more valedictorians than any incoming class in K-State history. This could weed out the people who won ' t even by, it makes the quality of students a whole lot better. And that will get us all to do better? Vinson said. But this might also blow some people ' s chances of coming to K-State and doing well in college because they didn ' t do well one day on a standardized test? Bosco said that approximately 75 percent of freshmen were admitted based on their test scores and about 15 percent were enrolled based on class rank or GPA. The admissions staff did a remarkable job of anticipating problems before they became troublesome. Bosco said. Everyone was on the same page and all K- Staters will benefit from this.

Instead of researching a topic for a thesis, they wrote a paper to defend the work they displayed in a public show during their final semester. When a student has an exhibition, the student meets with his or her professor and a committee: said Jim Munce, art professor and exhibit ion committee chair. It serves as a defense to compliment the written defense: Graduate students used the requirement to get an idea what a career might hold. When in the grad program, they are training to become professional artists, Duane Nobleft, art department head, sai d. The exhibition is a way to judge if they are ready to start a career as a professional artist: For most students, the graduate show was the final step to becoming a professional artist. in most disciplines, the masters is a step towards a Ph.D.: Munce said. In the visual arts, a masters is the terminal degree: Most graduate work was displayed at the Management K-State Student Union in the William T. Kemper Foundation Art Gallery. The Union Program Council allotted the department time to use the gallery for shows. I meet with the UPC and get as much time (in the gallery) as I can, then I let the grad students decide how to split it up, Munce said. Someone will be using the walls while someone is using the floors. There were other facilities students used if they chose not to display in the Union. Urban Design in Aggieville and the Manhattan Art Center allowed students to share their work. Usually, by the time you ' re in grad school, you find a gallery to basically pimp out your work: Josh Cross, graduate student in fine arts, said.

According to the DCE Web site. http: www.dce.ksu.edu, the program was designed to extend Mute ' s intellectual resources through quality degree programs. lifelong teaming and professional development opportunities. ' The purpose of distance education was not to take students away from the campus. said David Stewart, assistant dean of continuing education, but to extend the resources of the university to students who cannot come to campus for a variety of reasons. We are only the delivery mechanism, the colleges on campus provide the degrees: The Bachelor ' s Degree Completion Program was an opportunity for people living all over the United States to earn a degree through distance course formats. Stewart said only 20 percent of students physically attend a college campus The other 80 percent take courses on the Internet or through other distance learning programs. ' The degree completion program was started by the concern of some professors at who wanted to provide education to people who couldn ' t come to campus, ' Stewart said. Distance leaning courses provide students with access to classes and the ability to work on the class content on their own schedule: The BDCP was oriented toward self-directed students who had already completed 60 hours of college credit from any university with an overall GM of 2.0. In the Bachelor Degree Program in 2001, there were approximately 350 students, Daniel Butcher, graduate assistant in continuing education, said. That number was higher than average because we started to offer the general business and food science degrees in the fall of 2000. The DCE had nine masters degree programs, five bachelor ' s degree completion programs and four certificate and endorsement programs. ' The program offerings were areas known to be strengths for K-State, Stewart said. There were also many non-credit off erings for students not interested in a degree, but for those who wanted to increase their training for advancement in a career. Distance Learning offered more than 250 courses in the fall. The programs were offered using technology with delivery, at remote sites around Kansas and on campus for students who needed to use the continuing education resources. Stewart said the distance education program includes students from 47 states and 11 foreign countries. According to Stewart the continuing education program enrolls 3,500-4,000 distance students each year. It was possible to earn a degree without ever stepping foot on a campus from several universities around the country. Stewart said, Our hope is that students will come back to K-Statc for their continuing education needs.

Many professors wrote while teaching courses. Philip Nel, assistant professor in the English department, published a book in September titled J.K. Bowling ' s Harry Potter Novels: A Reader ' s Guide. Nel taught children ' s literature and was asked by the publishing company to write the book. The editor of the ' Continuum Contemporaries ' approached me to write one of the books in their new series, Ncl said. 1 thought it sounded great and signed the contract. I knew if I wrote the book they ' d publish it: Nel said most professors wrote articles forjoumals read by colleagues. He wanted to write a book that more than a handful of professors would read. I think I did a good job, Nel said, But there are plenty of other books that deserve attention that won ' t get it because that ' s the way of the world. Nel wasn ' t the only professor who turned to publishing as a way to share research results with the rest of the world. David Stone, assistant professor of history, also published a book, Hammer and Rifle: The Militarization of the Soviet Union 1926-1933. Stone ' s book was a revised version of his history dissertation. He said it ' s probably the most common type of book professors published. I expanded my dissertation then looked for a publisher, Stone said. I looked for publishers of books similar to mine, on the military history of the Soviet Union. The publishing process for Stone was different than for Nel. Stone sent in a book manuscript to the editor, who in turn sent out the manuscript for reviews. After several months, the reviews were sent back, and the editor looked them over. ' Then it started going through copy editing, Stone said. I polished it up more and started putting it into page proofs. It took two years from rust talking to the editor to get the book out. Paul Burden, another professor with publishing experience and assistant dean of elementary education, wrote four books: two textbooks. I was not satisfied with all the books out there. Burden said. Some available had good qualities but also had weaknesses, for example — they didn ' t cover class management discipline enough? Burden outlined four resources every professor should have before attempting to write a book. The first was writing and editing skills. You need to learn how to write. Burden said. You also need to know how to organize content to present content in an organized way more inviting to the reader. The next necessity Burden mentioned was knowing the textbook market. I had deliberately built a set of books related to texts I was thinking of writing, Burden said. Keep track of the new editions because they have new content. You have sensitivity to what book companies want to publish. Publishing is one way professors give back to their field and increase the body of knowledge. Burden said many people may have the content background but not the editing and organizational skills needed to write a book. ' Your book is your vision. ' Burden said. It is the best way to provide service to readers whether in your class or someone else ' s class. I wouldn ' t have come into higher education if I didn ' t want to make a difference?

The LAN partyconnected 10 personal computers, three servers, Ethernet cables, switches, hubs and routers when 15 students played network games. This was a dry-run LAN party, said Garrett Pennington, publicity chair and sophomore in engineering. `Collectively between members, we can support 50 people. The organization began in November, but membership opened Fcb. 4. The group was formed to allow members to network games, said Travis Rail, president and sophomore in information systems. I had been to network games before, Rail said. ' There are a lot more out there than you think. According to the Computer Gaming Web site, the organization provided an opportunity fora community of computer gainers, to exchange gaming information and to connect to the gaming network. ' The club is important because, nowadays. computer gaming has become almost as popular as physical sports, Pennington said. `Sports have intramurals and professional activities, but there are no activities for gaming. We decided to give something back to the gaming community Rail said most of the events Computer Gaming would sponsor were LAN parties. Two years ago, LAN parties were important because a lot of people had modems and slower Internet connects, Rail said. LAN parties get people together, so they could play decently With Ethernet and faster connections available today, Rail said LAN parties were not essential to network games, but it gave people a chance to get together and have fun. We could do the same thing from our houses, Pennington said, but LAN parties provide a sense of fellowship, and people get more out of the game. Aside from competing in network games such as Command and Conquer, Diablo, Quake and Starcraft, Pennington said LAN parties provided members a chance to display their machines. Everyone here has their own machine, ' Pennington said. No one went to Circuit City or Best Buy to buy their machine, they built their own. People have painted cases, windows (to see the hard drive) and lights (to show off the equipment). People have bragging rights over who has the nicest machine. The club planned to organize a LAN party each semester. Although most LAN panics were commercial, the club only charged fees for food. Their goal attendance for future LAN parties was 100 players. Our LAN parties are completely open to the public; you don ' t have to be a member to come, Pennington said. We think if we got 100 players it would be the biggest LAN party in Kansas.

They straightened bent candlesticks, repaired jewelry or re-tinned copper pots and pans. If it was metal and it was damaged, they repaired it during Repair Days April 13-15. Until five years ago. Manhattan was without metalsmiths, and metalwork had to be taken out of town. It was then the Metalsmithing Society, composed of fine arts students, founded Repair Days. Over a weekend, the community brought any metal object in need of repair to the students in the society, who fused it. Not only did this provide a service to the community, it gave fine arts students a chance to learn outside the classroom. It ' s a unique education, Elliott Pujol, art professor, said. It ' s something I don ' t teach in class. Students are able to look at the product, decide what ' s wrong and figure out how to fix it. It provides a whole different level of education. Repair Days took place at the Manhattan Act Center ' s annex and attracted more than 100 people. Some brought two or three items, Pujol said.

It ' s a chance for everyone to socialize with people they haven ' t seen for a good while, while helping to raise money for us to travel and meet other smiths. Repair Days was also an opportunity for metalsmiths to work with unusual or rare pieces. 1 worked on a pewter plate from the 18th century: Madden said. it was exciting to see and look at because it ' s not the kind of thing you do everyday, though I have done some restoration work. I ' m never terribly comfortable working on a piece that is of some importance to somebody, but I do know, for many pieces, we were their last hope. We had very little to lose. There was a bit of a margin of comfort in knowing that. Not all students involved in the society or in Repair Days were metalsmith majors. My student in the fine arts department could join the organization. Despite an emphasis in painting, Peterson said he joined the Metalsmithing Society because of the opportunity to work with precious metals an d jewelry, as well as to meet the members.

Somehow I found myself in parts of the machine where no one belongs, Anderson, senior in agricultural economics, said. ' Through the experience, I gained an understanding of the business, got aquainted with bask computer systems and became proficient in inventorying. For the past two summers, Anderson interned with Concordia Tractor, Inc. with branches in Concordia, Kan. and Clay Center, Kan. as a part of the Dealership Management Club with John Deere. Along with two other summer interns, Anderson presented his internship report at a banquet Jan. 24 in the K-State Student Union Ballroom to an audience of more than 100 club members, parents, professors and John Deere dealers. ' The program connected students and cooperative dealerships as a way for students to explore dealership management as a future career option, said John Slocom be, adviser and biological and agricultural engineering professor. ' Students gain interpersonal skills to deal with people in various pressure situations. They also develop self-confidence with agricultural machinery and selling commercial machinery and parts. Ryan Krueger, senior in agricultural technology management, said the benefits extended beyond the immediate situations to have payoffs in the future. ' There are a lot of people you meet and come into contact with to make connections, Krueger said. It is that many more people you meet and get to know for the future. Organized in 1999, the Dealership Management Club grew to 15 members in 2001. While participants did not all come from farm backgrounds, membership required an agricultural technology management major or minor. ' We started the club with people in the program and College of Agriculture students, said Bruce George, senior in agricultural technology management.

George said guest speakers discussed employment trends and business operations at club meetings the third Thursday of each month. Dealers came in for our meetings to talk about who they are looking for in employees, Zimmerman said..:We leam about strategies, which will be useful for me because I ' m planning on going back to a family owned dealership. Other students wanted the club experience to apply to other areas of career plans. Students gain experience to be hired by any dealer, George said.

We teach the dance lessons because it ' s a lot more fun when people actually know what they ' re doing.

She taught the class because she was the only HALO member with experience teaching dance lessons. ' HALO sponsored these Salsa classes to celebrate Amateur Radii) Club - Salina Hispanic month, she said. These classes, as well as other activities, were organized for K-State students throughout the month of September to represent the Hispanic culture. We wanted to share our culture with everybody and have a good time doing it.

At the end everyone was happy, ' she said. ' They had learned some cool salsa steps and they also had a good work-out. I personally think it was a success. I was not expecting many students to show up. and to my surprise we had a really good turn out.

States in the lower region of the former Soviet Union preferred the Asian-influenced green tea while those from the northern regions, such as Russia, liked to drink black tea. Since RCSA included students from all areas of the 15 states of the former Soviet Union, disagreements regarding tastes were cheerfully played out between the members. Despite the obvious cultural and political d ifferences among RCSA members, the group remained friendly and uninvolved in politics. We are completely non-political, Justine Hamilton, graduate student in political science, said. this is a cultural group. There are at least 15 different cultures represented and Russian is not predominant. There are some countries that do not get along. In fact, some are at war — we just don ' t talk about it Hamilton and Irina Khramtsova formed the young organization, RCSA. in October. which grew quickly to approximately 50 members, with 20-30 active participants. in the beginning, we placed an emphasis on informing the public about our presence, said Irina Khramtsova, president and non-degree graduate in education, so new people would be able to find us. RCSA was open to any interested member of the community, though the Russian language was the members ' common thread. I joined the group to brush up on my Russian, said Leila Zalchirova, treasurer and graduate student in political science. I ' m from Turkmenistan, and I speak Turkmen and Russian, but I ' ve been in the States for seven years. I found out that if you ' re not using or hearing the language. you lose it. Forming a pool of Russian-speaking members was one of the goals of the organization, Hamilton said. Most people don ' t look at me and automatically assume I speak Russian, she said. So, we formed the group to meet other people who speak Russian, but more importantly, to form a Russian-speaking community and to help one another. RCSA emphasized designating the organization as Russian speaking. Although all of the members were once united under the Soviet Union, they actually came from different, independent states. Despite this, the commonalties of language and culture brought the members together internally. Since we ' re a new group, a lot of our work is not done visibly, Khramtsova said. We come here to meet people. Recently, three members found jobs for three other people. I thinks that ' s really important — that we really help people. RCSA also helped Russian-speaking students and residents by giving them a family away from home. When you ' re away from home, sometimes you feel like you need to have something that reminds you of home, Zakhirova said. That ' s the intent of the group.

Alan Selig, a pastor at First Baptist Church, said he enjoyed the workshop. 1 thought it was really super. he said.

Feb. 9, as part of the Association of College Unions International Tournament. The ACUI Tournament included competitions in bowling, billiards and table tennis. K-State has been the host of the tournament 12 consecutive years. We are the only union big enough to hold the whole tournament in-house, said Terri Eddy, Union recreation manager and table tennis director for the tournament. It is important for students to see another student union, and not go to a bowling alley. This keeps all the participants together. Two members of the Table Tennis Club represented K-State. Kasey McDowell, senior in information systems, and Proud Venkatesh, graduate student in computer science, played against four students representing Creighton University. The men ' s competition consisted of three rounds of matches. McDowell played Creighton ' s Joon Kim and Venkatesh challenged Joe Wolpert. In each round, players competed for the best of three games to 21 points. There were no judges or referees; the players checked each other. These guys are at a level they can referee their own matches, Eddy said. You don ' t see the disputes like you have in other sports. This is competitive, but friendly. Players reinforced Eddy ' s comment by saying, nice shot and good service to their opponent. Both K-State students won their first round 2-0. The second round paired McDowell against Wolpert and Ventakesh faced Kim. Ventakesh again won 2-0, but McDowell won 2-1. The final round had teammates playing each other. Ventakesh beat McDowell 2-0. Prasad beats me all the time, McDowell said. 1 was expecting to get second and that ' s what I got, so I ' m happy After the men ' s games, doubles were played. The team of Ventakesh and McDowell beat the duo of Kim and Wolpert and the women ' s doubles team of Kathleen Wolpert and Joy Kurtz, also from Creighton. In doubles you have to alternate hits: McDowell said. You also serve from right corner to opposite right corner. I usually stand on the left side. This was one of the first times we ' ve played doubles together.

Vcrtakesh and McDowell began playing table tennis before entering college and both received professional training. Although neither planned on pursing a professional table tennis career, they took the game seriously. We go to tournaments if they are in the vicinity Vertakesh said, but we just like to play. It is a simple game and fun to play Although the rules were not complicated. equipment for the game was crucial. ' fable tennis paddles could cost up to $170. McDowell said. A paddle consisted of a blade. or the block of wood players grip, and two sides of rubber. one red and one black. There are different types of rubber. Vertakesh said. They are different colors so opponents can understand what type of surface the other is hitting on. Even though surface on the paddles and technique initially affect the game. Vertakesh said the main aspect of the game was practice. Strategy depends on the opponent, Vertakesh said. If you know they are as good as you. then you try everything you can to beat them. If they aren ' t as good you take it easier and try not to strain yourself. The biggest thing table tennis has taught me is not to be a sore loser.

All trainers were assigned a sport, which changed yearly, to give them a variety of skills. All student trainers belonged to the Student Trainers Association, an organization dedicated to providing experience and education to trainers. I like that I have people to bounce ideas off of, said Tricia Roots, cheerleading trainer and senior in kinesiology. The trainers won ' t always be around, and some people might know more about certain things. Because of the time dedication, trainers wanted students to be aware of what they were getting themselves into before they decided to commit to the program or to a degree.

Maze served on the club ' s first executive committee in the fall and helped draft the bylaws, set goals, secure financing and promote the club. Preliminary club goals included the certification of 10 CPR instructors who would teach classes. 172 Organizations Club members Nikki Banwart junior in biology, Janet Jester, senior in psychology, and Natalie Murrin, junior in business administration, listen to discussions on services. We are concerned a blood services organization from Kansas City, (Kan.) will come on campus and cause a shortage of blood supply (for this area), Jason Lantz, senior in biology, said. We hope to form an exclusive agreement between KSU and the ARC to prevent this. DONATE group focuses on service Cats for Christ As a volunteer for Riley County American Red Cross, Jason Lantz jumped at the opportunity to head up an effort for a K-State chapter. I have been teaching CPR at the local chapter for four years and it has been one of the best experiences of my time at K-State, Lantz, senior in biology, said. ' knew that Clay (Myers-Bowman, executive director, Riley County American Red Cross) was considering the club concept after he learned about clubs at other campuses that were making a difference in their community and university. Aftere xtensive research on other college chapters, Lantz and Briana Nelson, assistant professor of family studies and human services, teamed up to contact students who might be interested and formally established a planning committee. Lantz said a guest speaker in the fall proved to be a significant motivator for students. Renee Spurlock, an American Red Cross volunteer since World War II, spoke at the first official club meeting. Spurlock was sent to New York after Sept 11 as a representative of Riley County American Red Cross and spent three weeks working 12 hours per day. She helped comfort the victims and got them through the paperwork so they could get the aid they so desperately needed, Lantz said. Her strength and commitment to the American Red Cross have been a great inspiration for our club. She was able to stay strong as children, who lost both parents, came with grandparents to get aid. Lantz and Nelson selected seven of the 20 students who applied for executive positions, creating the first executive committee. 1 decided that I would not continue as the president of the club because we felt it was important that the club members fee l an immediate sense of ownership of the club, Lantz said. ' Therefore we opened the process to any student interested. The young club completed its first project in December. A toy drive on campus and in the community benefited the Head Start program in Riley County The project was a major success, Lantz said. The group collected and delivered 180 toys for the children. The club immediately implemented goals such as the development of a drug and alcohol education program, blood drives in February and April, emergency response programs and CPR certification counts to be made available to all K-State students. Stacey Huerter, senior in elementary education, said the dub gave students an opportunity to give back to the community On campus, Huerter said, the club provides students the opportunity to become involved as much or as little as students want through volunteer activities and leadership positions. The American Red Cross is a strong national so whether students stay in this area or move across the country, they can continue to serve their community in partnership with the ARC. In its first official semester as a club, the K-State Chapter of the American Red Cross already had a presence on campus, said Katie MacDougall, dub president and senior in early childhood education. MacDougall said as part of her training she sat in on a meeting with a fire victim. It kind of hit reality to actually listen to the personal side, she said. It makes you realize you are doing something that can help, and I d the Red Cross makes that possible.

(Photo by Zach Long) Although recycling centers were stationed sporadically around campus, the Students for Environmental Action proclaimed Nov. 15 America Recycles Day to encourage more students to recycle. Members of the organization spent four hours in the free-speech zone uncapping plastic bottles, collecting petitions and passing out recycling cards. Erin RunneLs, freshman in animal sciences and industry, said the dub collected most of the bottles themselves. After home football games ROTC cleans the stadium by blowing all the trash together, Erin Green, senior in chemical engineering, said. At about 8 a.m. every Sunday following home games, SEA picked through all this gathered trash for the plastic bottles and the aluminum cans if there were any. A trailer filled with bottles displayed 831 pounds of plastic. For their campaign Take Your Top group worked on more than 2.000 bottles, while Division of Facilities workers spent four days uncapping the rest of the recyclables. Our uncapping demo is mainly for awareness of the huge amount of recyclables just from football games that would otherwise be thrown away Green said. The demo gets a more positive response from students because it is very visible. Just by walking past between classes they can experience (recycling). While most members upcapped bottles, others handed out recycling pledge cards and encouraged students to sign a petition to create a permanent budget for the University Recycling Program. Most students don ' t know that there isn ' t a set budget for recycling or that we need one, Green said. The petition gets a positive response from those who have time to hear us out, but it ' s much harder to get people to stop and listen. Diana Sjogren, president and senior in marketingand international business, said they planned to collect 1,000 signatures for the petition and on Nov. 15 they received 633. Sjogren said the money for recycling was distributed under the facilities division, but SEA hopes the petition will allot funds to the recycling program directly. Recycling should be part of the daily operations of the campus, she said. It is K- State being responsible for itself. Sjorgren said she felt SEA transformed into the recycling club, but that wasn ' t a negative association. It is a way for us to make a difference. she said. it is a tangible thing we can do that ' s easy to do.

Collaboration between landscape architecture students. instructors and professional manufacturing companies resulted in a playground for the children. Four landscape architecture graduate students, Tyler O ' Donnell, Tracy Schnurbusch, Zara Barnes and Michelle O ' Brien, began developing a series of plans for the playground fall 2000. Under the direction of their instructor, Stephanie Roney, they met with the children ' s teachers to learn about what the environment needed to contain in order to support the children ' s development, said Mary be Luccie, associate professor of family studies and human services. They also watched the children play to see what they would like to have in a new playground. At the end of the semester, they blended ideas from the original plans into one plan that was most appropriate to meet the needs and interests of children. The design selected came from Kompan, Inc., a worldwide playground manufacturing company. Volunteers from the Student Chapter of the American Society of Landscape Architects installed the playground equipment in October and November and it was open for the children in December. It is much easier installing a prefabricated structure like we did, ' said Aaron Duncan. president and senior in landscape architecture. With playground systems like the one we helped install at Hoeflin Stone House, you can pick different features you want and they will alter an existing playground and design a specific playground for you with those certain features you want. The group helped dig footings, construct the playground structure, put up border and install the structure material. it was a volunteer project, ' be Luccie said. ' The work they did is estimated to be worth about $2,500. We certainly did not have extra funds to pay for this work. ' Their contribution of time and talent made all the difference in the world as far as getting the equipment up and available for children in a very timely manner. De Luccie said the project would not have been a success without the group ' s critical involvement. Community service helps people and makes a group like ours feel good about what we do, Duncan said. While we were building the playground one afternoon, some of the children came out during their snack break and watched us. When they left they yelled ' thank you ' to us, which makes you feel good. I knew the children were excited to play on their new playground by the looks on their faces.

Only three starting players were back from the previous year ' s roster. We ' re a lot younger team this year, said outside hitter Trent Meverden, senior in electrical engineering. Last year we had guys who had been playing for four or five years, but this year we just don ' t have the same number of guys with experience. That ' s been the team ' s biggest challenge as a whole — remaining consistent on the court. Among those lost to attrition was setter Rob Wyrick. Losing the setter is tough, Meverden said, because he really maintains coherence during games. But there are things we all need to work on, like passing, which is a pivotal attribute. Finding a replacement for Wyrick proved difficult, partly because the new setter would have to invest the time necessary to learn the team ' s offense. The loss of Rob affected the team greatly because the setter is the key person in putting together an offense, said middle hitter Patrick Thaete, senior in horticulture. When the offense involves more than 15 different setting positions, the setter needs to be very accurate and smart on the court. Rob was able to be both of those. The club started practice in September and competed against other area club teams in fall preliminary tournaments to determine their ranking, but their si•ame season began in February We didn ' t have a coach, said Meverden. We try to help coach each other and pass along whatever experience we have. The club also benefited from the guidance of Justin Ingram, assistant coach of the women ' s volleyball team. Ingram came to K-State in August after several years as a player and coach of men ' s club teams at Iowa State University and California Polytechnic State University.

Larry Fry of the College Avenue United Methodist Church, speaks during the Flint Hills living Wage Coalition ' s press conference at the Manhattan Senior ' Citizen Center Jan. 21. (Photo by Zach Long) A press conference Jan. 21, brought to light what has been called by American Prospect the most interesting and under-reported grass roots enterprise to emerge since the civil rights movement. The Flint Hills Living Wage Coalition joined groups throughout the nation tryingto instill a living wage, a level of payment meeting the basic needs of an employee and their family. The minimum wage has declined from the value it once had to the point where it is no longer a wage sufficient to keep people out of poverty said John Exdell, coalition chair and associate philosophy professor. With that decline, the poverty rates have risen until the late 1990s. Something had to be done, which motivated living wage movements all over. Living wages campaigns have succeeded in more than 40 cities and counties across the country in the past five years. Exdell said more than 150 Manhattan workers would have benefited from a living wage in 2001. is a great need for jobs in Manhattan and a living wage would ensure good jobs: coordinator Janet Jackson said. If the community gave a corporation a large amount of money, there was no reason they could not afford to pay a living wage, Jackson said. According to the Economic Policy Institute Issue Guide, in 1998,29 percent of workers nationwide received poverty-level wages with many objecting to living wages. ' There is a lot of fear of the unknown, Jackson said. People are afraid of change. They are afraid of what will happen and that it will affect the community negatively. Out of this fear comes myths and misconceptions and people don ' t look deeper. Other towns implemented a living wage and have been successful. Research from the Kansas Standard of Need and Self Sufficiency Study, 1999: Final Report determined the living wage of 58.80 per hour provided sufficient funds based on a single parent with two-children. I think its a very important issue to pursue because of the growing economic gap, Jackson said. millions of dollars in corporate welfare without adequate stipulations attached to those monies. There ' s an argument against interfering with the free market when you attach stipulations, but by giving thousands or millions of dollars to only certain companies, you ' re already interfering with the free market. The Chamber of Commerce decided Jan. 18 to encourage city commissioners to place a sales tax referendum on the November ballot that would entail job creation, or funds for economic development subsidies. The Coalition announced opposition to the sales tax unless it involved a stipulation for living wages. Angela Hubler• assistant arts and science professor, said students have a reason to be involved in the living wage movement. All K-State students have the right to vote, Hubler said. The community seems to have the attitude that college students are just working for pocket change, but students are having more and more difficulty paying for school and working more and more hours.

Riley County police officer. Members of Greeks Advocating the Mature Management of Alcohol asked officers George and Kevin Walter to answer several questions about akohol and the law Jan. 29. Part of the reason drinking and driving was a problem for college students was because students go to a pre-party. an actual party, a post-party and then get something to eat afterward, George said. Each time you move, you ' re at risk: he said. You subject yourself to meeting Riley County ' s finest. Kelly Schnepp, GAMMA adviser and graduate student in student counseling and personal services, said she hoped the information served as a reminder to students. We know you ' re going to drink, she said. Just be safe. Be smart. That ' s what GAMMA is. George, special projects officer with the department, said he hoped the event was educational.

The students could ask questions about why the police officers do what they do and why they have those rules, Menagh, junior in sociology, said. 1 hope the students went away with a few facts and a more real picture of what Riley County faces. Walter, who patrolled Aggieville, said a fake ID could produce a fine of $400 if students borrowed a friend ' s or $1,500 if they had one made. He also said officers could legally ask for ID in a bar. George said he hoped the student s would go back to their fraternities and sororities and share the information. Hopefully they see the police department from a little different light he said. We ' re not all negative. We ' re here to help.

' Few people pay attention to what ' s surrounding them on campus. said David Yoder, residence life coordinator for the Department of Housing and Dining. I guess the antennae are easy to miss if you ' re not a member, because they ' re not of much use to you. But the birds always find them: The club stemmed from interests in and uses of amateur, often called ham, radio. The term amateur referred to its noncommercial properties, including no music broadcasting or soliciting. The equipment ' s primary uses dealt with emergency services and worldwide person-to-person communication. After the establishment of commercial radio, amateur radio operators received the ham nickname, because they were known to ham it up during their conversations, John Blessing, president, said. At first the club was located in the Military Science building, and it did a lot of transmitting messages to soldiers and that sort of thing, said Blessing, senior in computer and electrical engineering. But once that pu rpose became obsolete, the club became affiliated with the electrical engineering department and is now more hobby related: Activities such as radio scavenger hunts and survival contests helped members fine tune radio-related skills. The club also cooperated with the Solar Car Racing Team, because the team used amateur radio for communication. In addition, the club periodically gave license exams to ensure that those who needed to use amateur radio could do so legally. Due to the low membership, activities became few and far between. Activities manager Dusty deBoer said he would like that to change. It would be good for us to participate in more events and provide more incentive for people to join, deBoer, junior in computer science, said. Open House helps get our name out, but it would be nice if we ' had more to get excited about. The club allowed membership to all university students, faculty, staff, alumni and their families. Yoder, member since 1980, said Today ' s technology distracted people from understanding amateur radio ' s benefits. People just hole themselves up with their computer games and Internet and CD burners and don ' t explore the sport of amateur radio; he said. it ' s easy to log right on and e-mail people. but with radio you need the license and know-how to operate the equipment. With radio you can build your own station from the ground up and achieve a sense of accomplishment and challenge. It ' s the most organized hobby in the world: that ' s why it is still around: The club also provided a 24-hour equipment room in Seaton with a high-frequency radio for long-distance communication and repeaters. Students interested in the electronk-related fields could use the facility to their advantage, deBoer said. Rather than sit in a physics class and hope that someday the information you ' re learning might be applicable, you can actually experiment for yourself and see how things work: he said. It also helps that, as long as you have a license, this kind of experimentation is legal. The social side of the dub should not be overlooked, either. Blessing said. Aside from sharing ideas and experiences, members could seek out conversations virtually anywhere on the atlas. You can really talk to anyone and establish ties regardless of location, Blessing said. You can learn a lot from other people. If you want to learn a foreign language, you can speak with people from a certain country. or if you want to hear people in space, you can find that frequency and listen or speak. It really is very valuable.

Her copy of the assigned reading contained questions in the marg ins — her concerns. it was heavy reading, Kehler, graduate student in English, said. It was nice to have someone to talk to and bounce ideas off of after reading the pieces. Leading up to the Cultural Studies Symposium on March 15, participants congregated to discuss the work of Lawrence Grossberg, one of four conference presenters. ' The speakers ' ideas are fascinating and worth exploring in greater detail with the reading groups, said Michele Janette, cultural studies director and associate English professor. Cultural studies is a very interactive way of studying. We want allow participants to feel more like they have something to come to the conference with rather than something to get from it. In 1991. the department established the annual Symposium in the K-State Student Union. The 2002 conference theme focused on Late Modern Planet: Globalization, Modernity and Cultural Studies with Grossberg, Amitava Kumar, Ginu Kamani and Bruce Robbins presenting lectures. We wanted to read some of their works before they arrived, Janette said. in general, many people don ' t know what cultural studies involves, so the reading groups provide a university profile to let others know what we ' re doing to get people thinking before the conference. Gregory Eiselein, associate English professor, said the groups revealed the topic ' s importance. Students considered their direct interest in the process of globalization. It is more of a conversation or discussion as peers. with no distinction between the superstar scholar and first- year graduate student, Eiselein said. ' Participants explore the connections and trends to help us understand what happens on the other side of the planet affects us here and vice versa. Led by a facilitator, Eiselein said the groups got students into the topics and acted as a springboard to share experiences. in the cultural studies program, students complete all of the usual masters requirements and in addition work with intellectual activities not necessarily tied to class, he said.

Images of hair, horns and fangs filled Theodore Roosevelt Elementary School ' s kindergarten room Nov. 5. The monsters were all over, Sierra Schon, kindergartner, said. Students in kindergarten through sixth grades, joined the K-State Department of Intercollegiate Athletics in ' Til They ' re Purple. Athletes and coaches participated in the all-day event by sharing their favorite books with a class. Karl Hanson, women ' s basketball player and freshman in open option, chose to read Maurice Sendak ' s Where the Wild Things Are to the kindergarten class. I liked her reading the book. Lucas Hugun in, kindergartner, said. The monsters were fun. Hanson said she volunteered because of the chance to promote reading. Hopefully. if the kids see we are having fun reading, they will pick up the book after we leave and have fun reading themselves, she said. The program, a spin-off of the Read and Achieve program, was designed to take literacy one step further. ' The athletes volunteer to read individually to children in the evenings as part of the normal program, said Michelle Stribling, assistant academic counselor for student athletes. We wanted to be able to bring more students together at one time along with more coaches, athletes and cheerleaders and really celebrate reading. This event is a starting point. The Read and Achieve program, started by the Student Athlete Advisory Committee spring 2000, allowed student athletes and notable figures a chance to read to area children in a one-on-one environment, Phil Hughes, associate director of the athletic academic center, said. The enhanced program sent athletes out into the classrooms for group activities. Celebrities and visible, high-profile individuals who read to children tend to put a sense of status on reading, he said. It is not teaching, just getting the children excited about the activity. Mary Stamey, principal of Roosevelt and Eugene Field Elementary, said she hopes to make the event an annual celebration. it has been a lot of fun, Stamey said. The kids are able to look up to their heroes and see them reading and enjoying it. It sends a great message.

Creative arts therapy is the use of any type of artistic methods to promote growth and healing. said Nadya Trytan, president and graduate student in art therapy ' There ' s a broad range of people who can benefit from creative arts therapy CATS members met for meetings and workshops, where they teamed from each other ' s experiences and watched guest speakers demonstrate alternate techniques used in creative arts therapy. At the Jan. 27 meeting. members made plaster masks and decorated each one with designs of color and ornaments to create a theme. First we put on shower caps, then we put Vaseline over our eyebrows, so the plaster wouldn ' t tear our eyebrows out when it dried, Kate Donley, senior in art therapy, said. We usually put on three to five layers of the stuff, but I was the Old Woman from the Mountain, so I put on a couple of extra layers to make wrinkles? Trytan said CATS tried to attract speakers with a broad range of creative arts experience so members could learn as many different techniques as possible. We ' ve had a lot of nationally-known speakers coming here to talk to us, Trytan said. Bringing people together from diverse majors and backgrounds has been very rewarding. All CATS members also studied through internships at area organizations such as Manhattan Parks and Recreation and Meadowlark Hills Retirement Community. Linda Dunn, graduate student in drama therapy. did an internship working with students at Bluemont Elementary School. We took stories, then made a puppet dialogue from the story every week, Dunn said. We started with socks, then decorated them according to their parts in the dialogue. Puppetry is a form of creative dramatics because it makes kids aware of everyday things through drama. Dunn said she worked with a racially-mixed group of children at the school who initially didn ' t get along well with each other. ' There was a lot of aggression and conflict. she said. When you observe that, as a drama teacher, you have to deal with it. We worked with their problems, and by the end of my time with them, the difference was astounding The power of drama, in a therapeutic sense, continues to amaze me every time I see what it can do for people. Dunne laughs while Donlevy positions wet plaster strips on her face. The plaster masks were made during the Creative Ms Therapy Students workshop fan. 27. We try to do different workshops and see how we can incorporate those techniques into the work we do with dients, Dunne said.

Public speaking is a skill students can use for any career, Clark Harris. adviser and assistant secondary education professor, said. Everyone needs to learn to talk to people and present themselves in this fashion. Mandy Scott, event coordinator and sophomore in agriculture education, sent letters to more than 160 Kansas FFA chapters in October. More than 40 schools replied with more than 400 entries to meet the registration deadline in early December. Scott said she spent a full day during semester break sorting entries, scheduling time slots and assigning rooms for the contestants in eight different judging rooms for prepared speeches and one division for extemporaneous speaking. Student delivered speeches ranged from four to eight minutes in the prepared division. In the extemporaneous category, students drew an agriculture topic to discuss with only 30 minutes to prepare. Extemp speaking applies to life in the best type of style in many situations, Harris said. It may be required to convince someone after just jotting down a few notes. Seven participants from Winfield, Kan. FFA chapter traveled (our hours to participate in the contest. Public speaking plays a vital part no matter where you go in life, Chad Eplet Winfield adviser, said. Communications skills improve with more exposure and practice and this contest is a great experience. Scott said the benefits extended primarily to FFA members displaying their abilities in communication. The contest provides a good learning experience, Scott said. Students learn skills to research a topic and look up information to write the speech. Previously operated by the Young Farmers, the Agriculture Education Club prepared the contest for the second year. The students on the committee did almost everything, Harris said. It was hard to allow students to do the whole thing.

Melanie Haines. president and senior in bakery science management, said the club applied the earnings toward trips they take throughout the year. We travel to conferences and conventions all over the U.S.. flaines said, so that $2,000 definitely helps. More than three decades of tradition surrounded the Christmas Bake Sale. Mary Willyard, the club ' s adviser and instructor in grain science and industry, said members promoted and sold fruitcakes when he was a K-State student in the late 1960s. Though they still make a few fruitcakes, the menu has since expanded to cater to modem tastes. We tried doing red and green bread a couple of years ago. Haines said, but that didn ' t go over too well. Apparently; green is not a good color for bread. Despite being a Christmas bake sale, club members also baked a number of everyday goodies. Besides the gingerbread men and Santa cookies, chocolate chip and oatmeal raisin varieties were big sellers. ' The sales have steadily grown in recent years as the students have learned to more effectively market their products. Willyard said. The students do a great job of Music Teachers Association producing good products for the sale. Their reputation has grown over the years and many local people look forward to their bake sale each year. Aside from preparing the cookies and bread, the student bakers labored to construct 30 gingerbread houses. Because of the preparation time needed to make the popular treats, the houses could be purchased only by ordering in advance. Besides the Christmas sale, members organized a weekly bake sale on Wednesdays during the academic year, also on Shellenberger ' s first floor. We have a sale every week, Haines said, but the Christmas one is much bigger, and it requires a lot more time and work to get ready. Of the more than 60 club members, only about half major in bakery science and management. with the other half representing a diverse range of majors. Me good thing about our club is that we don ' t charge dues, Haines said, and we don ' t have a strict requirement on how much time people have to put in.

I have to look at the people available, Lee said. can ' t do a play with a lot of women in it, because we don ' t have many women. A Cryin ' Shame included a cast of eight men, one woman and one boy. Lee maintained a correspondence with Johnson, and Feb. he attended rehearsals with the cast. Lee said their show was only the second cast for the production, and they were the first amateur group to perform it. Lee took on the role of director three years ago as the only experienced Ebony Theatre member in the theater department. Its really great to see from this end, Lee said. The greatest satisfaction is watching people grow into the characters they play and watching the final product. The Feb. 28 and March 1-2 performances were the end result of a process that began in January with auditions. Ebony Theatre gave auditions with the K-Statc Theatre Program, Jan. 17 and 18. ' I can sit down with the other directors. (of other shows), to decide who we want, Lee said. ' That way you might pull in someone who didn ' t know about your auditions? Lee said although many cast members returned from year to year, she could not depend on previous actors because some were cast in main stage shows.

We have a lot of control over the material and quality Adams, sophomore in theater, said. We get a say as to what we do and what goes on. I get the opportunity to get my opinion in there. Although Ebony Theatre started in the 1980s, it went through a down period. Five years ago participation started picking back up. In Adams ' third year of membership, he said they were just trying to keep it going. He said there wasn ' t a lot of variety at K-State, but Ebony Theatre was a good compliment to the theatre department. We are all about promoting African-American theater, Lee said. Although it ' s not written in our mission, we are trying to have diversity. We want to get other people to participate. A Ciyin ' Shame was the second production Ebony Theatre put on during the 2001-2002 season. Lee said they were going to perform two shows in the future although it was a lot of work. This show is shorter than the other ones we ' ve done, Adams said. ' We only had a month and a week or two to prepare. I think with not having a lot of time, this one ' s going to be one of the best ever. It will test everyone ' s strengths. 8y Lindsay Potter Auditioning for A Cryini Shame, a production for Ebony Theatre, Robyn Reed, senior in social science, and Mark Hanson, sophomore in theater; read lines from a script.

The group ' s success came from constant implementations of programs and competitions. such as the new Chem E Car competition. We have to build a car that fits in a shoebox, said Brian Lindsay, co-president and senior in chemical engineering. ' Then it has to travel 100 feet using some chemical reaction that will propel the car: The group decided to take on the task after attending the national convention in November and began working on the car at the beginning of the spring semester. The 25-member group was divided into three teams: building. reaction propulsion and poster designing. The poster explained what the team was doing and that the car was, in fact, safe and running. As April gets closer it will be (difficult) because the car is from scratch, said Otto Romer, co-president and senior in chemical engineering. But after nationals it shouldn ' t be (difficult) because the people after us will have some idea of what ' s going on. The main idea is to get underclassmen involved, and so far it ' s been very good: Although all schools had a maximum of $1,000 to spend, cars varied from as simple as a box and some pop bottles to as sophisticated as a Barbie convertible. The K- State car, made from a shiny, purple and black plastic mold. was somewhere in between, Kaila Young. senior in chemical engineering, said. i ' d say our propulsion would be more simple because it ' s our first time doing this: she said. But, hey, at least the outside will be cute. K-State ' s Chem E Car had to finish in the top three at the April 20 regionals in Iowa to advance to nationals in Indianapolis, Nov. 2. 2002. Right now we ' re not predicting anything because it ' s a new car: Lindsay said. ' We ' re shooting to get in the top three and do it with style. Last year, some cars there were just terrible. We thought that was an embarrassment to a school, so we wanted to give it our all.

We exposed a whole new world of art to Manhattan, Cochran, senior in art history, said. We focused on supporting the museum with volunteer work: Inside the museum, the halls and galleries echoed with students and community families. ' The museum is a great resource for students to get to know art in Kansas, said Sarah Cochran, senior in journalism and mass communications. We are heavily involved in outreach to get other people involved and to branch out to utilize resources: Participants painted faces and hands, bowled for pumpkins, braided and beaded necklaces, chalked famous paintings in the parking lot and sought artwork in a scavenger hunt The evening included a dinner, a birthday cake, a special exhibition of John F. Helm retrospective prints and a concert by Jamaican reggae band Muzizi. ' The event was definitely a success, Meredith Moore, freshman in fine arts, said. It was a joint effort in brainstorming. All of the activities came together just the way we like it: The Student Friends of the Beach Museum of Art experienced a rocky start in getting a core of students to take an interest in the museum, said ICathrine Schlageck, education and public service coordinator and student adviser. We tried to start a student group right after we opened in 1996, but it was too soon, Schlageck said We decided to revisit the idea in preparation for the fifth anniversary While academic service remained strong, Schlageck said the museum lacked social interactions. We had art, the building and community support, but we were missing students, Emily said. Anticipating the anniversary, the staff approached me to head student recruitment. Student Friends organized fall 2000 and kicked off membership drives January 2001 with the objective of opening the museum to the student body Beach has been recognized as a major art museum in the state. yet many students were not aware of the presence to campus, Emily said. We spent a semester constantly brainstorming to create awareness: With few student visitors, Emily said the Student Friends wanted to market the museum as a student resource with exhibitions, art classes, educational lectures and events to promote the arts. Becky Olson, freshman in open option, said she joined because she grew up appreciating art. Since I have always enjoyed art, it was a great way to get involved, Olson said. I like to see creative things even if I am not good at any of it: Moore said her involvement came easily since she worked as a student intern.in the museum. We are like a big family, Moore said.

The intense play, written by playwright William Mastrosimone in 1982, was based on the experience of a female friend who had been raped and the emotional trauma that haunted her afterward.

She continued with examples of her personal experiences and offered advice for beginning to practice nonviolence. Who you are is what makes a difference: she said. You don ' t have to be eloquent, you don ' t have to be a great speaker, you don ' t have to move mountains. It ' s who you are each day, moment to moment. That is where your practice in nonviolence, in changing the world, begins? Mason ended the speech with a question and answer session, followed by an invitation to attend a workshop Feb. 5 in Union 212. More than 20 people attended the three-hour workshop, where they learned the history of Season of Nonviolence and nonviolent practices, and discussed personal experiences with violence.

I went to the speech and then got on the Internet to do some research on the organization. I really like the speaker. She ' s very passionate about what she believes? Mason said she appreciated K-State Theatre Department ' s effort to produce Extremities for the campaign, as the entertainment of a play attracted a bigger audience than a lecture or small workshop. It ' s emotionally effective: she said. Emotions are the only way to get the point across. The only way.

' This club saves as their begin- ning touch with the organization. . Mac Knight, sophomore in music education, said his involvement provided a link to student and professional contacts. CMENC helps music education majors get in touch with fellow directors at the college level, Knight said. It helps to know all of the people in the department and get an instant start into college. It brings the department to- gether as a whole.

Teaching is a career of service. They can start to build professional contacts with college professors and business people. as well as meet their colleagues for their career. Knight said the department and the community knew the group for its work. We help with anything the department needs and mu- sk advocacy, Knight said. We get a lot of people to know why music is important for children to be taught as a class instead of an after-school program. Rodney Stanfield, guest speaker from the Little Apple Barber Shop Chorus, became acquainted with the group at his son ' s music concert where members served refresh- ments. He came to McCain to encourage a partnership be- tween the club and the local Society for the Preservation and Encouragement of Barber Shop Quartet Singing in America. ' Our primary and only beneficiary is music education, Stanfield said. Our mission is to make sure music educa- tion stays alive for my kids and their kids. Stanfield said he became interested in music during high school and liked musk more than the bruises he re- ceived from football. It is not to say a person can ' t do both, but I chose music. he said. Because of that decision, you future teach- ers are near and dear to my heart. I want you in the class- room teaching music.

Jeb also barked, rolled over and wagged his tail. Jeb, a therapy dog, worked with Deb Sellers, graduate student in human ecology, as a canine companion for two years. Canine Companions for Independence, a nonprofit organization, strove to enhance the lives of people with disabilities, other than blindness, by providing highly- trained assistance dogs. CCI provided dogs in four categories: hearing dogs, assistance dogs, skilled companion dogs and therapy or facility dogs. Jeb fell into the last group, meaning he worked with Sellers every day in a therapeutic setting. As a CCI dog, Jeb knew more than 50 commands to assist physically or mentally handicapped people. While CCI gave assistance dogs directly to a disabled person, facility dogs were given to therapists who used the dogs in a work environment. Jeb ' s job is to make a difference in people ' s lives, Sellers said. Whether he was just sitting with a person or helping someone open the cabinet door. Jeb gave independence and comfort unquestioningly. As a therapist, you want to make a difference, Sellers said. A lot of the time, it can be hard to tell if you are. But when you take Jeb to see someone who ' s sick and dying, and you see their eyes light up and they smile, it ' s very concrete evidence that you did make a difference in that person ' s life—if only for a few minutes. Jeb not only provided comfort, he relieved tension and provided a sense of ease between those with disabilities and the general public. ' here ' s definitely a stigma attached to people with disabilities, Sellers said. Some people ignore them and others are uncomfortable. Jeb ' s a wonderful icebreaker that way. When a group of us go to the grocery or somewhere, everybody wants to touch him and pet him. Canine companions helped break down social barriers and provided disability awareness to the communities the dogs lived in, said Judy Myers, developmental director of the North Central Region Training Center in Ohio. One implication was the dogs used as companions had to be highly trained and their disposition had to be assured. Jeb came from 27 years of CCI breeding to ensure a sweet disposition, Sellers said. Because of the nature of some people ' s disabilities, it was imperative that Jeb behaved calmly and patiently, even if a patient acted out. CCI began training their dogs as soon as they were born. At around eight weeks, they were sent to puppy trainers, like Menke Kelley of Shawnee, Kan., where they learned basic commands. After 12.14 months, the puppy trainers returned the dogs to their regional training center. From there, a professional trainer taught the dogs how to apply the basic commands to assist a disabled person. Kelley said giving the dogs back, though impossible to avoid, was hard but rewarding at the same time. ' When you go to turn in your dog and you meet people, like Deb, who has a working dog, it really hits you in the head. Kelley said. You realize the good these dogs are doing for people and you remember why you ' re doing it. Sellers applied for a CCI dog because of her interest in therapeutic animals and her philosophy of educating the public about people with disabilities. However, she said Jeb ' s love for his work was rewarding in itself. It ' s really evident Jeb loves to work, Sellers said. When I call his name, he ' s instantly attentive, very joyful and so smart. Because he ' s so smart, he gets bored if he doesn ' t work. And he doesn ' t work for food; he works for praise. He gets so much stimulation and attention — its the best life I can imagine. Aside from providing therapy for and bringing joy to disabled patients, Jeb created an atmosphere everywhere he went, with everyone he met, including Sellers. Jeb ' s a blessing, Sellers said. He absolutely creates magic everywhere he goes. It ' s like havingyour best friend around all the time.

Yet, I still like to watch the activity of the common finch: According to the National Survey on Rec- reation and the Environment, 97 percent of adults, 16 and over, participate in outdoor rec- reation. with more than 33 percent taking part in some form of bird watching. As the fastest growing activity in the country, binding num- bers increased more than 200 percent since 1983. An average of 15 participants attended the monthly Audubon outings, Rintoul said. `Many people move in and out since we are a university town, Rintoul said. We can help new people become familiar with the birds and show them all of the best places to go around the area. ' Common sightings included Harris spar- rows. finches, sparrows, blue jays and water- fowl. Using a telescope, Doris Burrell.

Jan McNeil joined Audubon to learn about bird species native to Kansas. McNeil and her family moved to Manhattan eight years ago. She said bird walks provided opportunities to meet people with common environmental in- terests. 1 am not much of a bird watcher, yet, McNeil said. 1 am just trying to learn. As a novice, I want to see brightly-colored birds. not all of the brown ones. I am amazed at how much some of our people know about wild birds.

Morihei Ueshiba, referred to by Aikido practitioners as 0 Sensei or ' The Great Teacher ' developed the martial art in Japan after World War II. The K-State Aikido Club practices their martial art skills in Ahearn Field House Feb. 6. The group, averaging six students, met in the old dance studio on the third floor of the Field House. Participants arrived to class 15 minutes early to help transform the studio into a dojo, which meant place of the way Once the room became a dojo, the students followed a set of rules implemented for safety and respect. Students addressed instructors as sensei. Students of Aikido bowed before entering the room, as well as prior to stepping onto the mat. Members bowed after receiving assistance from the sensei to show they accepted the constructive comments with gratitude. Students removed jewelry before bowing onto the mat and did not chew gum or eat in the dojo. The rules of etiquette are common sense and are implemented for safety, Jack Hayes, sensei at K-State for eight years, said.- Good manners are your first line of defense.

However, when the sensei called for a break, students were breathing hard and searching for the switch that turned off the heat. It ' s hard, Summer Lewis. senior in sociology, said, but it ' s great because I wanted to get involved in something physical, not like aerobics. I ' m really self- conscious, but everyone ' s been really helpful. And it ' s self-defense, which is practical. Nonviolent self-defense formed the basis for Aikido. Jack Hayes, sensei, said. Aikido is a martial art that is strictly self-defensive. Hayes said. Its ultimate goal is to develop enough skill to protect the attacker from harm. You want to escape the cycle of vengeance and create harmony in conflict. It was really the first practical method for conflict resolution. continued on page 275 fusion defined 223 Van Zile Hall Governing Board Vietnamese Student Association Front row Kristen Brant, Jaime Louis, Heather Henry, Phil Wmer, Front row: Mao Nguyen, T.

The discipline focused on nonviolent self-defense that translated into real life by teaching conflict resolution methods. The group paid dues once a month to cover dojo expenses and met on the third floor of the Ahearn Field House Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays. People come whenever they can, Jack Hayes, sensei, said. Obviously the more you practice, the better you get, but its up to the person. (Photo by Jenny Braniff) Although some methods of self-defense allowed and even emphasized incapacitating the attacker, students of Aikido found time changed their mind set of harming the person who was harming them. After doing it for so long, your mind and body knows: Roland Craddolph, sophomore in computer science, said. As long as you get your mind set, your body will do the actions: Aikido resolved conflict nonviolently by focusing more on the spirit than the sport, Hayes said. When you ' re in a sport, you ' re going out to win, he said. in Aikido, you ' re making sure no one loses. It is more spiritual than sport It emphasizes being calm enough to handle a verbal or physical attack. Instead of blocking and counterattacking. you learn it ' s more powerful to get out of the way. That takes their balance away and gives you time to react: Aikido h as been on campus for 12 years, Hayes said. He and his wife, Jayne Thompson, graduate student in theater, have taught K-State Aikido since 1993. The duo took over Aikido instruction not only because of a passion for the discipline, but because of the benefits Aikido brought to the community and university Aikido is important for a number of reasons, Thompson said. For one, it treats men and women equally. You are expected to perform according to your ability. Also, as a martial art, it is just that— an art. As such, you dedicate your life to nonviolent conflict resolution within a violent culture: The availability of Aikido on campus also attracted students to the university. ' There is not a whole lot, Thompson said, but there is a portion of students who have inquired about Aikido through e-mail and have chosen to come to Manhattan because of K-State Aikido. It draws a variety of people, and that ' s really important to a university. By Katie Sutton Wheat State Agronomy Club Women ' s Volleyball Club Front row: Daniel J.

It just can ' t be that way Starting the season with 16 returning players, change seemed to inspire the team, winning five of its first seven games including a 9-8 victory over defending national champion, Louisiana State. The Tigers ended up taking the next two games of the three-game series which Clark believed were both winnable games. We went down there with the intention of winning that series, he said.

So for us to finish fifth means we are on our way to where we should be. Joseph Lee also had a standout season. Lee finished second in the conference in the 800-meter dash. According to Rovelto, Lee ' s performance was even more impressive considering he was a true freshman. It ' s typically easier for women to succeed as a freshman than for the men, Rovelto said.

For senior Shadrack Kimeli the balancing act became more challenging with the addition of running 70 miles a week. It ' s tough to find time to study, Kimeli said. When you do find time, you ' re usually tired. Kimeli excelled in both track and cross country his junior year and entered his senior year as one of the top runners in the nation. The hype was justified when he won Big 12 titles in both the 1.500-meter and 5,000-meter runs. He also won two cross country meets in 2000. Kimeli has made a lot of improvements since he arrived here, ' Randy Cole, head cross county coach, said. The biggest difference has been his racing distances. When he first got to K-State he was more or less an 800-meter runner. Now he can run up to10,000 meters. For Kimeli, the road to K-State wasn ' t typical. Originally from Eldoret, Kenya, Kimeli came to the United States after his brother introduced him to a track coach in Abilene, Texas. After the coach offered him a scholarship he enrolled at South Plains Texas Community College. Following two solid seasons at South Plains. Kimeli came to K-State and dominated the competition immediately. He won his first two Division 1 meets. The training load of both cross county and track challenged Kimeli, but Cole said running both cross country and track doesn ' t hurt but helps conditioning. Cross country lays a good foundation for spring track: Cole said. it provides a base he can build on. Shadrack is a very hard worker. The only way that distance runners can get better is to put in the necessary work. He ' s also a great competitor and isn ' t afraid to stick his nose in there and compete with anybody After finishing his Wildcat career, Kimeli said he planned to run for Kenya ' s national team.

A Riley High School graduate Mortimer made the short journey to K-State to run cross county and track for the Wildcats. The trip to school was the only short part of the journey for the junior who runs more than 60 miles per week for training. I grew up in the area and always said there was no way I was going to K-Statc. Mortimer said. 1 took a campus visit and just felt that everything fit me right. K-State also had a really good business school and that ' s what I wanted to major in. Her first two years in cross country couldn ' t have been better as she won numerous meets and was a two time all-American. She also added a few school records to her accomplishments. We recruited Amy all through high school, head cross county coach Randy Cole said. She made her mark on the program right away and will hopefully continue to get better. Success doesn ' t come without disappointments and Mortimer experienced many of those her sophomore year. Mortimer battled sickness and injury during the track season but still managed to place fifth in the 1.500- meter-run at the Big 12 championship. I was struggling in races and kept working harder to try and get better; Mortimer said. I went to the doctor and they told me I had a low level of iron in my blood. I had to take it a little bit easier. For Mortimer, that was easier said than done. All my life I have used hard work to get through my problems, she said. It was hard to be told to stop pushing myself so hard. After a summer spent trying to mix training and relaxation, Mortimer had a different outlook on athletics and life in general.

After losing four members from last year ' s squad, head coach Randy Cole brought in five new runners to the program. We had a steady group of athletes and they have done fairly well, Cole said. ' They ' ve been consistently in the top four or five. This was a good hard-working bunch. We have a few new runners who will turn out to be decent college runners later on.

Although the team failed to qualify for the NCAA Cross Country Championships for the first time in three years, Mortimer and senior Amanda Behnke qualified individually with second and sixth place finishes, respectively, at regionals. Some of the girls took it (failing to qualify) hard, Behnke said. Everyone felt like it was their fault. But everyone did a good job. Everyone was out there and they were going with everything they had. As the team ' s lone senior. Behnke was automatically put in a position to guide the rest of the team, she said. It wasn ' t a leadership role, Behnke said, besides being the one who knew what she was doing; leading warm ups or pointing the directions. I felt that, a little bit, which was kind of neat because I remember being a freshman and looking towards the seniors. So it was fun to step in and take that role.

Grabbing a 14-13 halftime lead the Cats were only a half away from beating the top ranked Huskers. The mood was really good at halftime. We felt that the second half was ours, because we had momentum with the late score in the first half: senior safety Derrick Yates said. ' We felt we could have taken control of the game. But we just didn ' t make enough plays and eliminate mistakes: But the second half was another story.

We had an opportunity to practice for a substantial amount of time after the Missouri game and we weren ' t able to execute a lot of things we executed throughout that practice time. We weren ' t able to transfer them to the game. One bright spot for K-State was the stingy defense. ranked third nationally The team held the Orangemen to only 222 yards despite the departure of defensive coordinator Phil Bennett Dec. 5 to Southern Methodist. 1 was really proud of our defensive coaches and of the performance of our defense in this ballgame.

K-State had joined Florida State the previous four consecutive years as the only schools in the country to have 11-win seasons. 1 think it ' s disappointing if we ' d had a year (to prepare for the game), Snyder said.

My husband and 1 were on vacation in the Ozarks and we got the call. Fritz said. Jim said ' they came after me, I have an opportunity to get closer to home and hire my brother. ' I said ' great, that ' s great for you. Go after it. ' And he said ' I ' ll do everything I can if you want this job. ' I said ' 1 want this job. ' Fritz was hired as interim head coach Aug. 11, as K-State athletics began searching for K-State ' s eighth volleyball coach. The search did not last long when, two months to the day, Oct. 11, Athletics Director Tim Weiser announced Fritz ' s upgrade from interim to head coach. 1 was ecstatic, Fritz said. It was funny, we played at Iowa State that Wednesday and we won the match but played about as poorly as we had played all year and that ' s my responsibility. We were really questioning a lot of things even though we had won. The choice to hire Fritz was an easy one based on Fritz ' s performance as interim coach and the recommendations of others, Weiser said. Suzie will bring the program some stability and consistency, he said. Our rust concern is our student- athletes, and we feel confident that they, and the program as a whole, will be in good hands. A number of people in the college volleyball community, as well as Jim, have expressed great confidence in Suzie as a bright, young coach with tremendous potential. During her first year as head coach, team errors were down four percent, six of the 12 team members achieved a 4.0 grade point average, and Ahearn Field House, for the Cyst time in school histoty, was selected as a site playing host to the rust and second rounds of the NCAA volleyball tournament Suzie helped me build this thing, McLaughlin said. Nobody does it on their own. She is part of why this program is where it ' s at, so she understands the demands of Kansas State and the demands of coaching. I hired Suzie for her, her personality, her character, and she understands the process of coaching, the understanding of relationships. Head coaching!, Fritz said, has been everything she expected, and more. For me this is an unbelievable institution, and an unbelievable group of young women, she said. I feel, honestly, that I have one of the best jobs in the world. I have an opportunity to do what I love with a group of young women that are just fabulous.

Then news came March 16, 2001 that K-State Athletic Director Max Urick was retiring. The position opened and the search for a new athletic director began. Suddenly an opportunity arose for Weiser, Great Bend, Kan., native and 1981 Empona State graduate. to head back home. There were certainly a lot of issues, Weiser said. Football was factored in there. I knew how important football was to an athletic department based on the experience I had at Colorado State. The opportunity to be affiliated with the Big 12 was a plus because, as good as the Mountain West Conference will be in time, it ' s obviously not the Big 12, and that had some appeal. And then the chance to come home was kind of a special one: Although his Kansas background helped make the move a bit easier, there was still plenty for Weiser, and the K-State staff he took over, to learn. A lot of individuals come and go, and with that, you adjust. said Mike O ' Brien, former associate director of athletics for development. 1 think Tim ' s going to do terrific things for Kansas State athletics and the institution: Since officially assuming duties as the 13th AD in K-State history July 1, Weiser experienced adjustments with the departure of volleyball head coach Jim McLaughlin to Washington and O ' Brien to Toledo. He also faced the task of maintaining or increasing the fifth smallest athletic budget in the Big 12. But after 13 years as AD. including stints at Austin Peay, Colorado State and Eastern Michigan, no concern was too big for Weiser. Weiser became K-State ' s 13th AD when he assumed 1 consider hint a friend: head basketball coach Jim responsibilities of the position July 1.

The Thanksgiving and Christmas holidays are usually when triathletes take time off, and from then until April is the ' base ' period? Strenuous as the sport may be, the optimism of fellow members inspired the whole group to keep going. There are as many reasons and sources as there are triathletes, Doyle said.

The freshmen ' s maturity and determination helped increase competition for formerly secured spots on the varsity boat. les difficult to find the starting lineup; Hale said. Before, there were maybe one or two seats that were open and now there is maybe one or two that are locked and the rest of them are open. The middle of the team has tightened way up, and that makes the rest of the team go fast. The majority of the rowers walked on. and even those who did not last in the program ultimately improved the overall team. Junior Alyssa Adams said. ' Even the girls who don ' t end up staying with rowing, those girls pushed themselves the whole time here, she said. They helped push the other girls on the team which makes us a lot fasten Those that end up staying. are the best girls, the fastest girls.

That will be our first time there. and once we get there, that will also help our recruiting because you ' ll have more people looking for that sort of competition. Although many NCAA powerhouses from the Big 10 and the Pacific Northwest presented a challenge, the team ' s rearrangement of the fall and winter workout schedule and routine made the feat very feasible. Adams said.

' The woman who won threw exceptional well; head coach Cliff Rovelto said. Those who were considered the favorites finished down in the pack a bit. Austra hit her personal record three times, so that was very good: Mortimer, whose finishing time bettered her previous best by more than seven seconds, earned All-American status for the eighth time, fourth for indoor track, in her career. Amy ran very well, Rovelto said. She got up as high as third and was as low as fifth, but she closed well. It was a great run for her. Also competing in the event, held at the Randal Tyson Center on the Arkansas campus, were sophomores Morgan High and Rebekah Green, who competed in the high jump and shot put, respectively. High finished 16th and Green finished 14th. Two weeks earlier at the Big 12 Conference Track and Field Indoor Championships, High became the fifth female in K-State indoor track history to beat the 6- foot mark when she cleared 6 feet 3 4 inches. It finally started to click: High said. AU the things that Coach and I have been working on, it all came together today. I was a little nervous after having to make 5-8 on my last attempt. But things started going and going: At the same Big 12 meet, Skujyte broke her own pentathlon record, scoring 4,439 points. She now held three of the top eight all-time indoor pentathlon scores. Coach and I tried not to think about it: she said. We wanted to get as many points for the team as we could. After four events, we knew I was probably going to win. So he told me to run fast and relax. The first lap was too slow, so I knew I could do nothing about it. But I was relaxed and felt very good: With records falling and consistent finishes at the top of the conference and national ranks, excellence has always been part of the K-State program, Rovelto said. The last five years we ' ve gotten better every year; Rovelto said. We have always attempted to raise the expectations.

When the Big 12 meet was finished, the Cats had put up 93.5 points, 33 behind Texas, finishing third in the meet. It was the team ' s highest point total and highest finish in the six-year history of the Big 12 indoor meet. The men had a phenomenal meet. head coach Cliff Rovelto said. ' Terence Newman was nothing short of spectacular. For him to run the times he did at this meet, just having come over from football, proves that he is as good as anybody in the country. Newman won the 60-meter dash, running 6.65 seconds giving him a provisional mark for the NCAA meet. knew the competition would be stiff coming in, Newman said. I tried to get out rust, but I didn ' t. So I just decided to relax and sec what happened. Prior to coming to the Big 12, I worked on trying to relax if anybody got out ahead of me? Senior Shadrack Kimeli won the mile run, setting a Big 12 meet record on his way. ' The pace was kind of slow, Kimeli said. ' The plan was to take the lead with two laps to go. I was trying to be in control, and then I wanted to wait until the backstretch to start my kick. The only qualifier for the men ' s team, Newman earned All-America status after finishing fifth in the 60- meter final with a time of 6.67. With football season running into the indoor track season, the race was only the seventh of Newman ' s 2002 campaign. His finish gave the Cats four team points. tying them for 45th place at the meet. Today he probably ran a better race, all-in-all? Rovelto said. He wasn ' t even set when the gun went off. It was a fast gun but this was a big improvement over what he did last year at this meet (Newman had finished 15th). He had a good season for us.

After a Baylor turnover, junior Matt Siebrandt drew a critical foul trying to return a rebound. Siebrandt made the game-winning free throw with 1.4 seconds on the clock.

Anytime you ' re playing in this particularly-seeded game, you ' re a No. 14 seed playing in front of 12,000 pea against a very good team, you just have to play out of your mind.

(Photo by Kelly Glasscock) 1 was overall pleased with our overall balance across the board tonight, head coach Deb Patterson said after the game. I thought we shot the ball well, defended at a high level and I thought that we did an adequate job on the board. For our first NCAA Tournament experience as a team 1 was very pleased with what we brought to the floor tonight and I certainly hope that we can build on this for the match up against a great and athletic Arkansas basketball team? The next game against the physical and scrappy Lady Razorbacks was one of historic proportions for K-State Basketball. With 18 lead changes in the game. sixth seeded Arkansas stayed within striking distance, until a 10-2 run, and fouls, late in the game sealed it for the Cats. With the clock winding down the 11,786 fans in attendance, the fifth-largest home crowd ever at a women ' s basketball game, chanted Sweet Sixteen in unison as K-State advanced to the Midwest regionals with the 82-68 victory. The win gave the women ' s basketball program its 600th win, a feat accomplished by only 14 other teams in the country. Senior Kristin Rethman ' s two 3-pointers in the game also moved her up to 29th on the NCAA all-time career 3-point field goal list with 264. 1 think tonight we didn ' t get rattled when in the past we did. Rethman said. Sometimes, in the past, we would break down in the offense or defense, but tonight we were mentally tough. That is an improvement when have had throughout the season: Although they went 15-2 in games played at Bramlage this season, the Cats moved on to the US Cellular Arena in Mi lwaukee for the Mideast regional where Old Dominion ' s post play and suffocating defense proved to be too much for the smaller and younger K-State team, freshman Laurie Koehn said. It is really disappointing, no matter how old you are, Koehn said. It is not a way you want to end your season, you always want to go out playing your best and we didn ' t do that. 304 Sports Freshman Kendra Wecker goes for a steal against an Arkansas player March 17 at Bramlage Coliseum in the second round of the 2002 NCAA Women ' s Basketball Championship. K-State won the game 82-68 advancing to the Sweet Sixteen for the first time in 20 years. ' Our intentions during the game was to do vstsll on our offense, to be consistent with our passes and to play our last game well here at Bramlege, freshman Laurie Koehn said.

The 28-point loss was the worst Kent State had suffered all season. Mahoney had eight assists in the game tying a K-State NCAA Tourna- ment record. OhIde, Wecker and Koehn are amazing on the floor, senior Kristin Rethman said, and to have the oppor- tunity to play with them is in- credible.

It ' s just a normal room, with outlets and a phone line, Temes said. The only difference is it ' s a four bedroom, like a suite. K-State residence halls ' population of 3,800 increased by more than 200 students from the previous year. To house all the students requesting on-campus housing, residents were placed in overflow rooms available in most halls, said Belinda Hunter, Department of Housing and Dining Services assignment coordinator. This year students were placed in Goodnow, Moore and Ford in some basement rooms or garden-level rooms. Hunter said. ' They are regular rooms. They just don ' t get used unless the other floors are full. In 1997, Boyd Hall residents voted to convert the overflow area to suites, and the moms became a prime area for the residents, said Hunter. In the past, Marlatt Hall used the overflow area as vacation housing when parents visited, but the rooms were used by students when needed. We did use it for men in Marlatt Last year, Hunter said. ' This year we didn ' t have to do that. When Housing and Dining Services realized regular floors exceeded their capacity, they sent letters to the students still waiting for a room, informing them they would be in an overflow room. The letter told us we would be moved to temporary housing that would lad two weeks to a month, Temes said. Upon getting here, we were told we would be there all semester. Although the experience was not what she expected. Temes moved into the basement of Ford. At fast it was rough, Temes said, but I was stuck with three awesome girls and that made it easier. It turned out really good. In December, residents of the overflow areas were given the option of moving to a higher floor after fall finals when many residents changed halls, transferred into greek houses or moved off campus. ' Throughout the semester, they were moving singles up, Temes said. We decided to wait to move up in Rife Christy Boes, Ford assistant residence life coordinator and graduate student in student counseling and personal services, said steps were taken to ensure the overflow residents felt like part of the hall. Because of the over capacity, there was no other option, Boes said. We developed a community in the basement. We called it the lower terrace to make more of a community atmosphere.

Secondary Education • JR Unlocked doors Residents petition to end lockdown policy By Katie Sutton In conjunction with 50th anniversary celebrations, Boyd Hall revamped a door-lockdown policy. Beginning in the fall, Boyd ' s residents abandoned the 24-hour lockdown policy and joined the rest of the residence halls by opening their doors from 8 a.m. to 8 p.m. A lot of girls were complaining about having to dig their ID cards out of backpacks every time they needed it, said Deanna Scherman, president and junior in music education. It ' s nice to not have to rummage in your pockets or bag for your ID card. Even when women had their ID cards out and ready the card swipers were not guaranteed to work because of computer malfunctions. Residents tiring of that frustration made the change to open doors easier for Boyd, said Michelle Stribling, assistant acadmic coordinator and 2000 assistant resident life coordinator. Although some women chose Boyd because of the locked-door policy I know there were a couple of times when the card swiper was broken and the door had to be open anyway, Stribling said. When things like that happened, a lot of women were excited about not having to dig their cards out. Residents opposing the opening of Boyd ' s doors had the opportunity to express their opinions to the Department Housing and Dining Services. ' The reason Boyd ' s doors were locked 24 hours was because students asked for it years ago, said Derek Jackson, assistant director of housing and dining services. If there ' s a change in philosophy they should have a right to voice their opinions or concerns. The residents circulated a petition to make sure the majority of the women were not concerned about losing safety by opening the doors. Jackson said. About four years ago Boyd went to a 24-hour desk, whereas before it was 12 hours, Jackson said. There was a perceived need for safety. That isn ' t so any more because there ' s someone at the desk 24 hours in case anyone looks lost or has questions. Scherman said changing the door policy will not affect the number of women who choose to live in Boyd. it ' s not any different than anywhere else, she said. In an apartment or house, it% the same. People are going to come here and never know the difference. 310 People it • ?Fr V ff S ' at 4 Atwood. Kan. Secondary Education • SR • Obthc. ICan.

After discussing the idea in several meetings. the group decided to have a pig roast for the game day party. It was something that hadn ' t been done before that we could do. Jason Eichenberger, sophomore in civil engineering, said. We didn ' t want to mess with a smoker at a parking lot, so we had a big party on the front lawn. Everything fell into place for the tailgate party Oct. 6 when K- State Wildcats played host to the Colorado Buffaloes. ;.316 it became more of a victory party, even though we didn ' t win. ' Seery said. Residents showed spirit for K-State. It didn ' t matter that we lost. Even if they didn ' t like football, there was still stuff do to. The HGB provided music, opportunities to play football, Frisbee or volleyball and refreshments to accompany the 200-pound pig. My father donated the pig and butchered it for us, said Brandon Sinn, sophomore in animal sciences and industry. It feeds a lot of people and is pretty cheap. The pig cooked in a roaster on the front lawn for 22 hours, however, it was eaten in 40 minutes by the 250 residents who attended the party. Eichenberger said. The residents ate and played sports on the lawn while listening to the game on the radio, Seery said. We provide them a community to participate in: Seery said.

Residents could enter the Best Room Contest in one of 18 categories ranging from most homelike, best loft, cleanest and most artistic to best bachelor pad. Russell Yarnell, HGB president and junior in civil engineering, said the idea originated during spring 2001 when the hall was looking for the best room in Haymakerto showcase during AU-University Open House. ' The contest was mentioned last year on HGB, but it was too close to open house to do anything, Yarnell said. We thought it would be good to start off this year? The men at Haymaker signed up for the contest at the front desk in the category they thought they could win. The HGB accepted all 22 entrants and asked several residents to compete when they made the rounds judging. The final contest included 19 rooms where students were in their room and everyone was a winner. ' We got together after we saw the rooms and tried to remember the specifics and what was special, Yarnell said. One room was the most seasonal with a Christmas tree and lights. One room had fish and it was the most homelike. We made one category up because they participated in the contest? Winners in the contest received a certificate to post on their door. ' We ' ve had people passing through the halls stop and ask to take a peak in the room. said Levi Davenport. sophomore in mechanical engineering and winner for most disorganized room. We were just trying to see how our mom matched up with everyone else ' s. Orrin Holle, junior in agricultural economics, said many of the residents who entered had never done anything to be involved in the hall before. The contest let residents know there ' s a lot of things to do, Holle said. One purpose of the contest was getting people active. The winners of the best loft design went into the competition expecting to win. Not that many guys had lofts and ours was good, so we were sure we ' d get best loft, Ken Keil, freshman in agricultural economics, said. ' We saw one of the posters to have our mom judged and decided to enter. Keil and roommate Dustin Ringer, freshman in computer engineering, received the loft from Ringer ' s brother, who designed and built it for his freshman year at Fort Hays State University. ' We just had to set it up, Keil said. it has two levels; the bed up on top, plus a deck extension. There is a couch, fridge and micro up there? Keil said anyone could enter because there were multiple categories. I think the contest created a chance for people to express their creativity. Keil said. It ' s not a bad idea?

Shouts echoed throughout the third floor as Mario Kart night began. tame week might become a tradition, Philip Kocher, sophomore in architectural engineering, said. ' We try to do something big every semester. Jim Stoutenborough, president and senior in political science, planned the game week Dec. 3-7 to help relieve stress before finals. A variety of games we re provided each night. Monday featured card night where 12 residents participated in hands of Spades, Pitch. Canasta and Hearts. More than 20 men played Risk. Boggle and Monopoly for Tuesday ' s board game night. Wednesday gathered the largest crowd of more than 30 participants who played Mario Kart in the third floor lobby or residents ' rooms. ' It ' s fun, ' Brian Price, junior in environmental design, said. I do believe it helped those who attended to relax and get away from some of their tests, papers and classes? Thursday introduced LAN (Local Area Network) night. Games battled online within the residence hall where several residents strategized from computers in their own rooms. Friday ended game week with a dance on Marlatt ' s fourth floor. Women from West Hall and Smurthwaite Scholarship House also attended. In the two years I ' ve been president, I ' ve never heard anyone complain about not having fun at an event, Stoutenborough said. Usually it ' s always the people who don ' t go to the event who complain that there ' s nothing to do? During Marlatt Hall ' s game week Dec. 3-7, Philip Kocher, sophomore in architectural engineering, Jim Stoughenborough, senior in political science, and Brian Price, junior in environmental design, take a break from studying for finals to play Mario Kart 64. Video games were a popular tension reliever for Marian residents throughout the week. Card, board and computer games attracted participants with specific interests.

No 6-11, encouraged residents to celebrate alternative ways to communicate with educational programs ranging from sign language to international languages. People use many different forms of communication, so it was positive to build awareness, Jenna Moroney, Moore Hall Governing Board adviser, said. The presentation brought people together to learn things they couldn ' t have otherwise known. Organized by the HGB, student leaders used the Internet, the Manhattan Public Library and campus resources to construct the events. HGB invited all residence halls to participate and win door paces and T-shirts. We included many other students from different halls, Moroney, residence life coordinator, said. It was especially effective in Moore Hall since we have a range of students: Featured the first evening, Willie the Wildcat led more than 100 students in a demonstration of universal communication. Wily showed how verbalization was not necessary for self-expression, said Craig Wanklyn, president and sophomore in architectural engineering. MOORE SPEAKS WITHOUT By Patrice Holderbach and Lucas Shivers Silent Expressions Stephanie Cheffen said she enjoyed seeing Willie. You ' ll know what he ' s talking about through body language, Cheffen, sophomore in business administration said. It was an effective program because it showed not everybody can talk or hear and they use their body to communicate. The programs following Willie ' s visit also featured non-verbal communication. Presentations included Morse code, sign language and Braille. Tiffany Happer, junior in architectural engineering, served as committee chair for the Braille program. She also assumed the responsibility of presenter when no one was available. While researching Braille, Happer reflected on a childhood illness, which caused her vision to be impaired for one month. I ' m very lucky 1 didn ' t have to learn Braille because I don ' t know if I could do it, Happer said. I ' ve always been curious. Wanklyn said more than 250 students attended at least one of the programs. After the people left the programs, they were amazed, Wanklyn said. People took something from these programs and spread it. Willie the Wildcat kicks off Moore ' s Code Week at Moore Hall Nov. 6 with the help of Craig Wanklyn, president of Moore Hall Governing Board and sophomore in architectural engineering. Since Willie can ' t speak, he demonstrated methods of non-verbal communication.

(Photo by Jenny Braniff) Drive-by raking By Lindsey Thorpe Students break from daily routine to assist elderly Rakes in hand, more than 20 Putnam Hall residents spent the afternoon of Nov. 3 clearing leaf-coveted yards for elderl y people in the community. It ' s so hard in college to think of other people, because we get so self-involved, Jill Somson, junior in architecture, said. This was a good opportunity to take time out and do something to benefit others: Students met in front of Strong Complex at9:45 am. ready to collect leaves with 24 rakes provided by K- State Facilities and the Department of Housing and Dining Services. Originally planned to be a surprise for elderly people, Joseph Thomas, senior in architectural engineering, said the plan had been rethought and residents had been notified beforehand. Thomas said he spoke with leaders at the senior center and a local church to find elderly people in need of service. After compiling a list of addresses, members of the philan- thropy department sent out advertising flyers to all the residence halls to get students aware and involved. Thomas organized the event as part of the Putnam Hall philanthropy department. The department provided community service opportunities for students living in Putnam. in Putnam, we have to have community service points, Ann Puetz, sophomore in Icinesiology, said. ' This was a good way to get away from Strong Complex and do something to benefit the community Combining hard work with humor, Thomas said the students raked nine lawns. One yard took over an hour to rake because it was huge. Somson said. The leaves were literally a foot deep. I was raking and got ambushed and thrown in a pile: The group stacked nine leaf- packed bags curb-side as they moved on to the next yard. We bagged the leaves and put them on the side of the road, Thomas said. A man from the senior center came by and picked them up when we were done. Based on the grateful response from the elderly, students expressed a desire to continue the project. I hope we can make it an annual event, Puetz said. The people really en joyed us being out there helping: Girb from Putnam Hall pile leaves into trash bags at a house on Campus Road near Jardine. The volunteer work was part of Putnam program to help elderly people in the community. (Photo by Nicole Donned) ' timothy Abbott Stardn. Kan. Ilortkulture • SR Dough Armkneeld Canker City. Kan.

' We came up with Jeopardy. The MAs initially hosted Jeopardy during Martin Luther King, Jr. Week spring 2001, but Robinson and the complex diversity team continued t he game for the complex in fall and spring. The residents really enjoyed it, Robinson said of the Dec. 4 game. It gave them the opportunity to be social with friends but had a competitive edge. Jeopardy questions ranged from religion to military life. The diversity team, created to help the multicultural assistant, searched for material on the Internet and from students ' personal experiences. Some might think its all common sense and easy—like the $100 questions are easy—but some don ' t know (about diversity), Robinson said. The game ' s purpose is toshowdiversityand educate them without forcing it down their throats. The fall presentation of the game didn ' t have as big of a turnout as expected said Lindsey Edmonds, diversity team member and junior in dietetics. It was a bad time because of studying, Edmonds said. ' There were three other programs going on just in our complex. We plan on finding a better night next semester. Despite lack of participation, the diversity team quizzed residents and awarded prizes. It was a team decision to do it, said Scott Tystad, diversity team member and junior in horticulture. We all did everything. All of us went out and collected things like information and prizes. Tystad said jeopardy went well and residents had a lot of enthusiasm . I think residents had a good time, Tystad said.

Three members spent more than 12 hours a week participating with agriculture judging teams. it is challenging to be gone so much and filled in on everything when I return: said Tatum Sprague, president and junior in animal sciences and industry. ' The other officers are supportive and understand the skills I am gaining: After seven years of involvement, Sprague, horse judging team member, said being a part of the team was beneficial for networking within the professional animal science community as well as for refuting speaking and presentation skills. Across the board, decision making and problem solving top the list of benefits provided to students from judging contests, Kevin Donnelly, assistant director of agriculture academic programs, said. ' There is the opportunity to travel, improve communication skills, make contact with professionals and build camaraderie among fellow students. In 2001, 17 teams competed in 49 regional and national events. involving more than 160 students and more than 100 others in tryou ts. Cannelita Goossen, dairy products judging team member and scholarship chair, said future career connections were made through judging and Clovia membership. ' The university takes priorityover the house, so we are encouraged to participate in campus events and activities, Goossen, sophomore in agriculture education, said. judging helps me improve my skills. 1 will be able to pass them on when I teach: Sprague and Goossen have managed to juggle their office duties with other priorities in their schedules. Emily Koch, senior in animal sciences and industry, said she chose livestock judging instead of awning fora house office. Although joining the livestock judging team was a commitment, Koch said her decision would pay off in the long run. Because many Clovia members had agricultural backgrounds and interests, the house encouraged networking in the agriculture community A lot of us have been exposed to the same things, so we understand each other and realize the importance of being a member of a judging team, Koch said. We are pulled together by similar experiences. Many of us arc agriculture majors, and we have support for one another. i Telma Education • ER Lim Andrea Hiawatha, Studies mad Human Services • SR Walnut. Arnett !declarant Lodge. ICan.

The highest bidder dressed their purchase in costume for Halloween. The event raised more than $165 for Big Brothers and Big Sisters of Manhattan. Mark Holliday, junior in mechanical engineering, received the highest bid of $36 from Jackie Wallace, junior in family studies and human services She said several Clovia girls pitched in to buy Holliday to beat Smurthwaite ' s contributions. Wallace dressed Holliday as a cheerleader. ' Mark was checking out his makeup and posing a lot? Wallace said. it was hilarious? Holliday said it didn ' t bother him to dress up as a cheerleader. aside from the itchy bra and cold draft from the windy evening. In high school, he said he won a male beauty contest. I enjoy dressing in women ' s clothing, Holliday said. I only do it for fun though? At the auction, Jessica Heier, soplximore in industrial engineering, bought Shawn Sherraden, senior in mechanical engineering, for S5. She dressed him as a dancing teddy bear with a white tutu. ' The event was unique with a good response, Heier said. The guys were good sports. Groups trick-or-treated Oct. 31 collecting more than 280 canned and dried goods for Flint Hills Breadbasket. Brian Ziegler, vice president and sophomore in business administration, organized the event to help the community. He said several people including himself were dressed as the opposite gender. I was sort of uncomfortable, Ziegler said, but it was kind of fun to be outside of my comfort zone. After collecting donations, the members regrouped at Smith for a Halloween dance. We had a good time, Holliday said. it made it all the more fun because it was for a good cause. fusion defined 341 RESIDENTS BRIM CUE C ' WE IQ LIP By Katie Sutton Murder Was The Case Ceorgianna Body was dead —killed by a Smurthwaite Scholarship House resident as a part of the Clue Murder Mystery game Oct. 25. Was it Professor Plum in the study with the revolver or possibly Mrs. Peacock in the living room with the candlestick? Characters pleaded cases to detectives to convince them of their innocence. Women from Ford Hall and Boyd Hall questioned the characters and made guesses about their guilt. Fashioned after the Clue board game, the event originated from an epiphany to Angela Juno, social chair and junior in animal sciences and industry. I was in the library, studying hard for an anatomy and physiology test, and it just came to me. Juno said. it must have been in the back of my mind because I brought my Clue game to school with me. I love board games. The logistics of the game required some teamwork and time, Juno said. She said it took several hours to figure out a way to simplify the real-life board game and room set-up. Smurthwaite ' s version differed from the board game with invented characters, such as Madame Flame and Baroness Black. No one who wanted to participate was left out. Juno said. More characters meant the game was more complex so the detectives didn ' t figure it out too fast, Juno said. Also, we didn ' t want toexclude anyone. so we brainstormed names, and eachcharacter Heidi neaten= Beaton.

It was really a team effort. Since the game would not work without detectives, Juno contacted other residence halls to participate in the game. Asa scholarship house, Smurthwaite differed from other residence halls with more strict entrance, grade and service requirements. Residence halls joining in the game provided an opportunity for other students to see what Smurthwaite and its residents were all about. It was really nice that we invited other halls because Smurthwaite isn ' t like the other residence halls; said Nina Jones. graduate student in marriage and family therapy. People wonder what Smurthwaite is. and this gave us a chance to interact and mingle with other residence halls. Shawna Dillon, Boyd resident and junior in secondary education, said she and her friends wanted to participate in an activity with Smurthwaite. When Juno called and invited them, they were eager to become mock detectives, even if they were a little confused of their duties at first. 1 wasn ' t exactly sure how to play, but it was set up exactly like the board game, so that helped, ' Dillon said. 1 had a blast. I even thought about trying to set something up like it for Boyd. Dillon won the game with a correct guess of Madame Flame in the laundry room with the rope. She was rewarded with a junior detective set containing handcuffs, a whistle and a plastic gun. 4 1 a 342 People Hutchinson. Kan Induand Engineering • FR Mom Joan . Itke.Va.

Alpha Delta Pi, Beta Theta Pi, Pi Beta Phi, Sigma Phi Epsilon and Tau Kappa Epsilon all brought home the top award. Five is a very significant number of chapters, Barb Robe!, Greek Affairs adviser, said. have that many of the top chapters on one campus is unique and awesome. Sorority and fraternity members attended national conven- tions biannually where awards were given. Chapters were in- dividually honored for everything from financial standing to alumni relations. Many people have a negative perception of what goes on in the greek system because of isolated events, said Phil Stein, Interfratemity Council president and senior in political science. Luckily, many chapters at K-State have overcome this obstacle and have been recog- nized for those things they do well? ADPi received the Golden Lion award for the rust time in their chapter ' s 85-year history. The award was the highest honor in a series of achievements ADPi completed through the past 12 years. 1 was proud, because it demonstrated manyyears of accomplishments, said Holly White, ADPi presi- dent and junior in management. It was an amazing feeling? Pi Phi won the Balfour Cup for the third consecutive year. The chapter invited local alumnae to their chapter house to celebrate. It was a great chance to interact with alums, said Shannon Richardson, Pi Phi president and senior in marketing and international business. I was shocked. surprised and excited all at the same time when they announced our name at convention. Although many chapters continually won the same award, each year the award had new meaning. TKE re- ceived the top chapter award for the 10th year in a row. Out of 280 chapters nation-wide, it is a pretty big accomplishment, said Eric Westerman, TKE president and junior in architecture. We are the only TKE chapter who has won the award this many times in a row? Sig Ep received the Buchanan Cup for implementing an anti-hazing program and the success of the membership retention. It focuses on programmingwhich encourages members to strive to be well-rounded men, said Mark Vanderweide, Sig Ep president and senior in management information systems. Receiving the Buchanan Cup was something we have been trying for unsuccessfully for the last eight years. It was definitely a confidence buil der and a motivator to take everything to the next level. For the first time, the Betas received the John Riley Knox award. honoring an average of 20 hours of community service per member and one service event including 80 percent of the chapter. It was a huge honor and something we didn ' t think we were ready for, said Jeff Rundle. Beta president and senior in civil engjneering. We convinced our chapter that we could go after it and we got it. 344 People GREEKS Alpha Delta PI earned The Golden Lion, an award omen to the top chapter in the nation.

Alpha Gamma people, Harbstreit said. He was one of the good people of the world Rho united as brothers. and students some place are going to miss him? We ' ve all been drawn so much closer, Matt Van Allen. senior in Attempting to fill the void, Harbstreit said students have taken agronomy, said. It drew everyone together, even the guys outside of reflections from Donley ' s memory to apply to their lives. the house. There is barely anything you can say to describe everything They realized, to some extent the gift we have each day, he said. that went on? ' They make better use to enjoy life and make a difference: The Nov. 25 funeral in Ellsworth, Kan. drew more FRATERNITY FACTS than 700 people. John Green, senior in horticulture, said members benefited from the time they spent with Donley. senior in agricultural education. He showed how to live life and not take things for granted, Green said. I can definitely say he lived his life to the fullest? Known for his quick comebacks and practical jokes. Donley always shared a good laugh with friends and AGR members, Van Allen said. More than anything, he was a guy who could change the mood of a room in a matter of minutes, Van Allen said. Lance was always the one we ' d dress up for skits. He could get anyone to smile. Steven Harbstreit, secondary education 35...iv-late professor, knew Donley from his commitment to the classroom, as well as through the Agricultural Education Club. ' The turnout was amazing, and it was not just guys in the house but (alumni) out working who came back, Green said. ' That showed his impact: Remembered for his strong agricultural focus, Donley ' s lariat with a spray of flowers adorned the casket and his horse was brought to the cemetery. Lance was a different kind of person than any person I ' d ever met, Green said. He was always thankful for what he got. He gave others a better outlook• and everybody knew him? Duc to his interests in cooking, the AGR kitchen was dedicated to his memory. A memorial scholarship also commemorated his life. it ' s pretty hard to forget someone like Lance: Van Allen said.

They waded through assignments, struggled with the difficulty of theory and stressed about jumping into 500-level classes. However, Smith, freshman in sociology, had an insider ' s track. For all Alpha Xi Delta underclassmen, a mentor helped ease the transition to college. — The first year in college is mostly fun and trying to make yourself study and adjust to college life; Crystal Kramer, senior in interior architecture, said. ' Mentors were able to use what they learned throughout their years at K-State and share it with a new member so they would not have to learn everything the hard way Alpha Xi created the Mentoring Program in the fall to foster relationships between members and encourage academic studies. High academic standards and all-chapter grade point average improved the house ' s chance of winning the Xi Achievement Award, the top award given by national Alpha Xi. Mentors helped new members with research, projects and papers. Freshmen also received advice from someone who had been there before, Kramer said. Smith was paired with senior Amylee Ladner, another Alpha Xi majoring in sociology. 1 called her whenever I had questions about classes or when I was trying to decide on which classes to take next semester, Smith said. Once I had a question on a criminological-theory project for one of my classes. We got together at her apartment, and she helped me with it. That was nice because I wasn ' t quite sure what I was doing, but she really helped me understand the project more. The advantages for upperclassmen centered on giving new members leadership and advice not available to them when they were freshmen. Since I ' m a senior. I don ' t get to know the freshmen very well. so it ' s a good way to get to know them more, Ladner said. It makes you feel important. I struggled like crazy with enrolling and stuff like that, so it ' s nice to be able to give them advice about their majors. The Mentoring Program improved the sorority by helping new members adjust to college. Smith said she anticipated being a mentor. I look forward to being a mentor in the future because I realize how important Amylee is to me, Smith said. Not only is it nice to have someone in your major, but you also make a new friend with an upperclassman.

' The freshmen wing was definitely the scariest part of the house? Paul Gentry, junior in mass communication, said. The kids had to crawl through the beds in the sleeping dorm, and there were guys shaking the beds and jumping out at them. That part of the house definitely got the most screams. Beta wanted to begin a new philanthropydue to lack of participation in their previous philanthropy said FRATERNITY FACTS Peter Carter, event coordinator and sophomore in biology. We had been doing ' Spiketacular, ' but participation dwindled: he said. ' There were only three or four sorority teams last year. and this year only one team signed up. With the new philanthropy, we wanted to incorporate both the peek system and the community Jeff Rundle, senior in civil 362 engineering, said the men came up with the event at a brainstorming session during a summer retreat. We targeted the neighborhood around us. Rundle said. We sent fliers t o area elementary and middle schools. A lot of high school kids and sorority members also came. It was packed. The haunted house took up almost every floor in the house, and had attractions in nearly every room. While some members took participants on haunted tours, others dressed in costumes and wandered about the house, jumping out at participants. Carter said members asked for canned goods instead of an admission fee, but they also received $150 in cash donations for Flint Hills Breadbasket. They sent more than 30 pounds of canned goods to the Breadbasket. More than 80 percent of the house participated in the event, which was above average for philanthropy participation, Carter said. Due to other obligations, they only had the afternoon of Halloween to complete its construction. Carter said they already had the entire house mapped out, sd they quickly completed the construction. it was awesome to see how everyone pitched in to get it all done. he said. It really showed how strong our brotherhood is?

We have a lot of young blood in the house. Scott Tatro, sophomore in business administration, said. Members were judged by action and not age. Actions spoke louder than words. Elected 2002 president, Tatro said he received the honor due to his work as social chairman as a freshman and treasurer as a sophomore. I have been able to follow up on a lot of good ideas to emerge as a leader with opportunity to persuade older guys, he said. These guys trust me with what I ' ve done and how I ' ve conducted myself: The motivation of the underclassmen to try new ideas impressed Jason Tholstrup, senior in math and computer science. He said the house benefi ted from • the fresh perspective. Scott took on the job of treasurer with sheer energy, Tholstrup said. He got right on the ball and plowed through difficulties. Delta Sig promoted their underclassmen as a strong recruitment feature to attract leaders to their house, Tholstrup said. I primarily joined Delta Sig for immediate leadership, Ben Procter, freshman in political science, said. All of my pledge class had the ability to get involved right away with more responsibility. Since we were just out of high school, it was beneficial to move toward the real world: Procter said he gained a majority of his leadership experience from a Student Government Association internship in fall 2001. As Delta Sig alumni relations chairman, he said he applied those skills to connect alumni and current members to house traditions. Starting off as an immediate leader allowed me to become more connected to the house, like a true brother from the inside, Procter said. Some older members had reservations, however the vast majority saw the importance of involving all levels of students: The clash of experienced members versus pledges kept a friendly competition to draw members closer together, Tatro said. Without class boundaries, the house overcame facades to assist members reaching their goals, said David Hamel, rush chairman and sophomore in exercise science. Everyone encouraged me to use my ability, Hamel said. We ' re not here to go through motions. It has been positive for the house. Malt J. Memo .. Crueler. Colo.

More than 90 Delta Upsilon men spent a day giving gifts and being role models to the children of the Villages Inc. in Topeka, Dec. 1. Villages served more than 200 abused, neglected and abandoned six to 18-year-old youth in eight group homes in Kansas, five in Topeka and three in Lawrence. We ate lunch and played football with them, said Sterling Morrow, event coordinator and sophomore in construction science and management. The kids really enjoy getting to hang around with college kids for a day. What we can give them has such a huge impact on us as well as them. Kevin Ross, senior in electrical engineering, said the kids got excited about the older guys who were there to listen to them. Some of our guys can relate to what the kids arc going through, Ross said. For others, it makes them realize how lucky we are as college students to have the opportunities we have. Ross said the DUs stressed the importance of aspiring to a successful life beyond high school. encourage them to study hard and chase their dreams, Ross said. I think most guys don ' t realize what a role model they are just by encouraging the kids to be successful, especially since most of these kids have had people telling them ' they can ' t ' their entire lives. Ross said one of the best parts of the experience involved listening to the kids ' hopes and dreams. I ' ve had kids tell me the re going to play football in the NFL one day, and the last thing in my mind is to laugh at them, Ross said. we really want to do is shine some light on these kids ' lives and give them some hope. Sylvia Crawford, Villages executive director, said the DUs influence lasted all year. ' Most of these kids don ' t come from an environment where education is highly valued, Crawford said. They hang out with these guys in college and it gets them thinking, ' hey, that might be something I could do. ' She said they never had a problem with attendance. Kids really look forward to it, Crawford said. They ' ll ask if the DUs are coming, and they ' ll talk to new kids and tell them how much fun it is. Morrow said at times it was clear how needy the children were. ' e had a Santa Claus for the kids, Morrow said. It was so sad because one little boy said all he wanted for Christmas was to be adopted.

More than 40 Kappa Delta members, along with sororities from universities. hid 12,000 plastic eggs filled with candy donated by Russell Stover Candies, said Jennie Rose, chief of staff for first lady Linda Graves. Rose said several members of the fast lady ' s staff, including Graves herself, were sorority women, so enlisting sororities help was an easy decision. Ile Kappa Deltas have been one of our most faithful sororities every year, Rose said. ' That makes me proud, because I ' m a Kappa Delta, too. After half an hour spent hiding the eggs, the sorority members took their positions throughout the hunting ground as more than 2,000 eager children and their parents descended on the park. They monitored the kids to ensure each child found several eggs and none wandered off on drier own. We had baskets we carried with extra eggs in them, said Amanda Sorg, senior in animal sciences and industry. if we noticed one of the younger kids who couldn ' t fmd any eggs, we had plenty for them. Though Kappa Deltas were the only group representing K-State, sororities from other schools were invited as well, including the University of Kansas Kappa Delta chapter. it was a fun event to participate in, Sorg said. We ' re always back home by mid-afternoon, so its really no problem. Plus, it ' s nice to get to see the other Kappa Delta chapter. Stephanie Spencer. sophomore in business administration, said she was impressed Governor Bill Graves and his family were openly friendly to visitors. They were right out there with everyone else, Spencer said. I thought that was neat for everyone to be able to meet the governor and his family. It was a cool event and good for the community.

Active members hired Jada Hill, 1988 K-State SORORI • Kappa alumna and president of The Wellington Group. to organize the event. She said more than 300 alumnae returned for the celebration. (Attendance) was very evenly dispersed throughout the years, Hill said Nearly every pledge class was represented? Alumnae participated in various activities and became reacquainted with their Conner sorority sisters. Hill said. On Friday evening, alumnae had get- togethers with their original pledge classes. Saturday morning and afternoon, the women had bus tours of campus and Manhattan, showcasing the newly renovated Kappa house. Active members provided house tours for visiting alumnae. The alums could get a feel of what the house is like today? Amy Metsker, education chairwoman and sophomore in speech, said. ' They could see the actual house has changed, but Kappa hasn ' t While alumnae attended a banquet Saturday evening, Metsker said active members attended their annual formal date party, which was rescheduled so it would be the same weekend as the anniversary. Kathy Moths, 1988 K-State Kappa alumna, helped plan the weekend with Hill, her former college roommate. ' The fun thing for me was getting to emcee, she said. My mom was also a Kappa, and she emceed at the reunion 10 years ago. It was a neat way to feel connected to her. At a formal brunch Sunday morning, members recognized the 50-year Kappas and participated in their Founders ritual. Hill said 15-20 women who had been part of the sorority for 50 years returned for the reunion and were recognized. She said there were also women from pledge classes dating back to the 1920s. Although years had passed since some of the women had seen each other, Hill said friendships remained strong. ' The friendships were still just as strong as when they left K-State, she said. It was easy to reconnect. And a lot of Kappas are still active in other chapters where they live. It ' s good for actives to see the opportunities for involvement even after they leave K-State.

Housemothers were registered by their sororities and fraternities to attend the e afternoon of socializing. We know how to treat the ladies, said Andy DiOrio, philanthropy chairman and senior in journalism and mass communications. ' We decided to create a spring philanthropy to allow housemothers to interact. They are sometimes forgotten, yet still a strong part of the greek system: Participating housemothers were informed of the function, however the location and activities Were withheld for a surprise, DiOrio said. ' They loved the surprise, Matthew Painter, junior in criminology, said. It offered a chance to get out of their house for a while to talk with other housemothers. In her first year as Lambda Chi housemother. Pam Gi man she learned, through professional and personal connections, her situation paralleled the other housemother? experiences. It made us a tighter group by letting others know what we ' re doing, Gilman said. We look harder at house events and ways to improve: Scott Kice, senior in management, information systems, said the initial contact between housemothers proved strong enough to continue with future meetings. The housemothers get to know each other, and its pretty much a complete housemother party when they get here, Mee said. 1 don ' t know what they talk about, but we walk by and they ' re talking up a storm. They ' re able to talk with someone in the same boat. Lambda Chis sent invitations to sororities and fraternities early in the spring semester asking for participation and donations to the Flint Hills Breadbasket and North American Food Drive. Members helped with planning, paperwork, phone calls and house decorations to prepare for the event, which raised more than $500. This philanthropy was completely different from most: Kice said. students are so busy they don ' t have an opportunity to participate in other events, but this didn ' t take hardly any time.

Basically, the four groups of two to a dozen people had seven minutes to present the aims and purposes of their with a series of rhythmic beats, Paris Rossiter, junior in art, said. ' They are judged on crowd appeal, precision and energy. Originating as a recruitment feature, Rossiter said step shows, like the one presented in McCain Auditorium Oct. 13, historically promoted fraternities and sororities by spreading word of the available opportunities in higher education. Stepping, which is also referred to as stomping, was born of Black American culture, Rossiter said. it came from the traditions brought from Africa. Most things were handed down through song or dance, or a combination both. Rossiter said each segment consisted of an introduction, body and conclusion to communicate the objectives as a central message. The intros are usually set to music, he said. ' The body capitalized and expanded the theme with straight action. The final conclusion wrapped things up with a series of steps. The performers were tired when they finished? Four representatives of black fraternities and sororities from across the Midwest competed for the top prize of $1,000 to apply to community service projects, Brandon Clark, senior in business education, said. Neak Frasty also featured Ekldra Records recording artists Silk, an Atlanta based Rhythm and Blues group. People always look forward to who we ' re bringing in to sing, Clark said. They have been performing for quite a few years and everybody loves them? Alpha Phi Alpha members had different responsibilities before and during the show, as well as with the after-party in the K-State Student Union Courtyard and Union Station. There was someone in charge of setbacks, the opening acts, the artists, money and door security Michael Bass, president and senior in finance, said. Members were required to sell tickets? As their largest annual fundraiser, profits from the $20 tickets benefited the Thurgood Marshall Scholarship Foundation, supporting minority students attending K-State. The scholarship supports local students. Clark said. it was a good way to pay honor and tribute to a past member of our fraternity? Alpha Phi Alpha members from Central Missouri State University get their freak on during the Neak Frasty competition Oct. 13. The CMSU team won the step show, along with $1,000.

As constant components of Barker ' s campaign, members ' efforts resulted in a victory celebration at Pat ' s Blue Rib ' N Barbeque March 13. ' We knew it was something he wanted, and it worked out great for the university for such a leader to be elected, John Huff, freshman in business administration, said. Members hung signs, chalked sidewalks, attended campaign meetings and supported him the whole way. Crediting a large portion of his success to Phi Delt members, Barker, senior in political science, said the support was second to none. I don ' t think there was any way 1 could have done it without them, Barker said. It is a brotherhood. They are there for you and want to help one another succeed. I am proud to be a member. The commitment to the campaign proved members ' intentions to invest the effort necessary to achieve the Anal goal, Barker said. Many members were out every night with Brandon and I spreading the word about what we wanted to do, Barker said. They got the word out to students showing them our ideas and how we hoped to change things to better their time at K- State. Under the slogan, Small Steps, Big Changes. members worked to educate and relate platform topics to the lives of students. We wore the T-shirts on campus all the time, said Justin Zeh, junior in construction science and management. We provided some public relations because we informed people of the issues he was campaigning for. As 2000 Phi Delt president, Barker said he gained skills for the student body president position. Kyle knew what needed to be done, and pointed out people to do it, Huff said. He saw leadership skills in others and put them to work. Earning respect for his leadership style, Barker was known for his ability to relate to people. Huff said. 1 learned the importance of leadership, Barker said. Many of the older members helped younger guys in school and personal lives in our first year of college. After the initial election March 7 failed to produce a candidate with 50 percent majority, Barker finished the run- off with 62 percent of the 2,388 votes. We knew it would be close, Zeh said. It made us push even h arder. The fraternity ' s support did not stop with campaigning, since Barker selected members to serve on his cabinet and campus committees. I have appointed many of the members in the house to different committees on campus, Barker said. I think it has sparked a lot of the younger guys to become involved not only in Phi Delt but also on campus and in the community. ?sac AskiK Lcoca. Kan. Bomar Administration • SO Casty Bohr ..

Ericgraduated with an outstanding CPA Anderson ' s experiences prepared him to hold several positions in the fraternity such as scholarship chairman. corresponding secretary and president. He also participated in other activities including Blue Key. KSU Foundation, College of Business Ambassadors and intramural sports. °I decided to participate in activities outside of the house to broaden my horizons and maximize the experiences and friendships that I would have while at college, Anderson said. ' The key thing is setting priorities, putting school near the front. The more I take on, the more efficient I am. Springer said Anderson communicated with others to earn both respect and friendship. He helped us more to the upper echelon of what a fraternity should be by putting a greater focus on grades and service to the community that fosters us, Springer said. As a fifth year senior, he never lost touch with the fraternity learned a lot that I might have otherwise missed. While attending Winnetonka High School in Kansas City Mo., he played sports, participated in student council, served as class treasurer four consecutive years and graduated as valedictorian of his senior class. Allen Switzer. FIJI chapter adviser, said K-State provided growth opportunities and challenged Anderson to prove his leadership skills. He has learned a lot about himself from getting responsibility and carrying it through; Switzer said. It has given him an excellent opportunity to grow and use in a business situation. Although he was busy Anderson said he tried to not spread himself too thin. It ' s better to have quality over quantity, he said.

Hospice goes to seniors ' homes and helps with meals. At Meadowlark, girls painted the ladies nails and talked to them. Each member chose which program they wanted to volunteer for. Breanne Paul, junior in nutritional sciences, had a personal reason to help at Hospice. My father was very ill this summer, Paul said, and we had a member of Hospice come in to help him. While some N Phis volunteered for the required time, several returned during their own time to walk elders to church, play bingo, paint nails and talk. Julie Graves, senior in apparel marketing and design, was one of the members who continued volunteering and developed a friendship with a Hospice client. 1 went back because I thought the lady was interesting and spent a day with her, Graves said. ' We went to lunch and went shopping. I ' m into fashion design and she loved that when she was younger, so we had a good time shopping. We even got a makeover. Graves said she she received more from talking to the woman, than the woman gained from her. 1 learned so much from her, Graves said. ' People say whenever you give you get so much more back and that ' s true? Graves and Paul agreed the program was a positive experience and worth their participation. Talking to her gave us an new outlook, Paul said. When you talk to anyone older than you, you see their perspective. You learn to take life day by day and to enjoy every day?

Members logged onto hup: ksupike.com to find out when a social event would happen, to look at pictures from last week ' s golf tournament or to post a resume. After a fire Jan. 17. 2001, the Pikes moved into a rented house at 1535 Denison Ave. Jordan Smith. technology chair and sophomore in business administration, said the rental agreement would not allow holes to be drilled, so Smith created a wireless network and a chapter Web site. The site was visited more than 12,000 times in its first six months. My pledge brothers and I ran cables in the attic, Smith said. It was like 130 degrees up there. Smith designed the network which included two servers, remote access and an e-mail address for each member. Smith planned for members to know how to create Web pages when they went out into the business world. it teaches time-management skills, Smith said. ' There is a calendar program where members can set up their schedules. Other house members can see when they are busy and set up appointments. Smith wanted alumni to be able to look for internship candidates by browsing the site and clicking on resumes. Alumni who felt a sense of commitment to the house could connect directly to the Web site, Smith said. ' This is the way of the future, Darren Landis. 1991 graduate, said. I can always access information about the fraternity, no matter where I am. Mike Riley. 1987 graduate, said he was impressed with the site. I hope it makes the old semester newsletter a thing of the past, Riley said. ' This is more timely, more interesting, more effective and less costly. Smith ' s plans were long-range. In addition to implementing the network and the site, he trained members in its use and programming. Everyone will be able to do this when I am gone, Smith said. I am also working on a project to offer this service to other houses.

We were able to get some notoriety for Dr. Suess, who was an honorary member of the house, Ketchum said. However, more importantly, we did some great service work with the Boys and Girls Club. Giving the program a literary twist, Sigma Phi Epsilon members unfolded the world of Dr. Seuss to children of the Boys and Girls Club of Manhattan after-school program through books and activities. To celebrate Suess ' s birthday March 2, Jeff Bell, senior in finance, said 68 Sig Eps spent four hours working booths featuring various Seuss creations. The Cat in the Hat, How the Grinch Stole Christmas! Green Eggs and Ham, Fox in Socks and others were read to the kids, followed by word games, bingo. cooking green eggs and ham, character drawing, face painting and planting seeds. ' The afternoon had all the components of a gr eat program for kids — with importance in reading and school work — to become successful in the future? Brad Bagby, junior in business administration, said. The kids loved things that took them inside the story and sparked their imagination. They took the stories more seriously and with greater appreciation. After reading a Suess selection, John Ketchum, junior in philosophy, , said members led an activity to parallel the story. ' The kids like being able to get involved in the stories, Ketchum said. It got a little crazy when the kids started to paint our faces. It was messy; but awesome.

There are many activities the house participates in to qualify for the award, Westerman said. ' They include volunteering with the Special Olympics, the Boys and Girls Club and other organizations. on campus activities such as Student Senate, college counsels, college organizations and intramural sports participation. We are also lucky to be associated with the K-State greek system which is one of the greatest greek systems around the country Muehring said the chapter had a tradition of winning nationally and alumni will call the house to find out if they are still winning. The tradition means everything to them• Muehring said. Our alumni are very supportive and open to all we do. Continuing to receive awards is one way to keep their support. Although the awards are notable on the national level, it was on campus where the awards had the most meaning, Muehring said. This provides us with a good positive attitude for the house, Westerman said. It also provides us with a good rush tool because we can tell incoming freshmen we have won this award and we have this individual winner in our chapter. fusion defined Tau Kappa Epsilon members celebrated their 10th consecutive top TKE chapter award and having one of 12 top TKE individual award winners reside at K-State. If you compare our chapter with all of the other chapters in the nation, you will clearly see that we are one of the leading chapters. said Eric Westerman, president and junior in FRATERNITY FACTS architecture. ' There arc many chapters out there that look at us to model themselves after. When the house annually applies for the top chapter award, they also nominate a senior for the top individual award. John Muehring, senior in chemical engineering, was named by his house brothers to apply. He has been the president and gone through many experiences: Westerman said. That has given him some great knowledge about the fraternity. He is an outstanding student and an all-around great guy. Muehring was honored in a national awards ceremony in New Orleans at the biannual conclave. I was really honored, Muehring said. Our fraternity has over 9,000 members-one of the largest out there. It ' s overwhelming. There were so many guys who deserved it just as much.

' We recognized the need for the program when some brothers received Ms, said Jared Rose, president and senior in political science. We realized how dumb it was for them to have had no safe option if they wanted to go somewhere, when we could easily have provided this service. Designated drivers transported brothers to and from social functions to provide members with a safe system to party We decided it was time for us to get with the times, ' Rose said. Society doesn ' t accept irresponsible behavior from greeks anymore. The house offered drivers on Thursday, Friday and Saturday nights, from 9 p.m. until 2 a.m. Members were scheduled to drive once each semester and carried cellular phones for availability. The chapter has responded well, Rose said. Everyone pitches in and drives when they are supposed to, without complaining. Glen McMuny, rush chairman and sophomore in microbiology, said Theta Xi had new appeal for those wanting to join the house. Having a DD system has definitely improved a lot of the aspects of the house. McMuny said. it makes the outward appearance of the house responsible. People rush because we are responsible, and they come party here because they feel safe. The program provided additional legal security and protection, Rose said. It is definitely a good thing for house liability McMurty said. It keeps a lot of people off the road who have been drinking. I can ' t name the last time someone was stupid enough to drive when they should not have. In-house members were not the only ones to benefit. Out-of-house members also accepted the designated driver service. It creates a safer environment for those who want to drink, said Luke Deets, an out-of-house member and senior in architectural engineering. It ' s really nice when we want to go to a party, or if the weather is bad and we want to go to bars. Rose said members encouraged expansion of the program. Manhattan could learn a little about the advantages of having a safe-ride system by looking at the greek community Rose said. If the community would create a safe-ride system, our roads would be safer and everyone would benefit Emma Scott House Wawa Kane Admen lidisbaro. Kan. Busmcss Adminatration • SO Brandon Carlson Lam.

(Photo by Nicole Donnell) fined 433 SMALLEST FRATERNITY STII I ,ACTIVF By Lucas Shivers Personal onnections A small chapter membership did not keep Triangle from being active around campus, said Aaron Fish. Since Triangle focused strictly on men earning degrees in engineering, architecture or science. members pulled their weight to keep up with the reputations and achievements of other fraternities. The attitude of members reflected our desire to participate in the greek system with Homecoming and other events, said Fish, senior in hotel and restaurant management ' They make time for it. even though they are active in other organizations. The limited number of less than 10 recruits and actives did not hinder the involvement in Greek events, Barb Robel, Greek Affairs adviser, said. Although Triangle is the smallest of the fraternities, it is still involved in all of the Greek activities, Robel. said. Even though the house was somewhat limited in potential members with the curriculum restrictions, members are involved and committed. To d evelop balanced men studying in the specific areas, Triangle provided an environment to foster personal growth and professional success, Fish said. A lot of people would be high quality members in terms of leadership and commitment, but they don ' t fit the outlined majors, Fish said. It made looking for potential members more difficult. We focused and specifically planned activities to gear up for the targeted populations. Matt Jones, junior in electrical engineering, rushed spring 2001. Restricted participation of house pledges granted opportunities otherwise not available once members were established, he said. 1 experienced independent life, as well as greek life, Jones said. The fraternity added meaning and offered skills you won ' t get independently. Members are forced to work as a group. Fish said high priority was placed on keeping membership less than 50 men. We.don ' t want to be huge in terms of numbers, mainly because we do not want to lose the personal connections, Fish said. We set the ultimate goal to be a successful chapter. Coming off struggles in the late 1990s, the house found filling to capacity more important than seeking members to improve the chapter. Fish said. To prioritize their intentions, Triangle redefined their mission statement and goals. After we developed our purpose, we had a battle I cry to sound for others and to give an answer to the ' what we ' re here foe questions, Fish said. ' The mission reflected the importance of the chapter.

Although most K-State students were away from home for the beginning of the season, many continued their family traditions with decorations. My family was always big into the holidays; ' Adam Eichman, junior in business administration, said. 1 knew (lights) would look good on the corner of busy streets. Eichman, 1230 Vattier St.. decorated the two-story house on the corner of Manhattan Avenue with 10 strands of white lights, each 40-feet long. They were left over from my sister ' s wedding and I bought some in Topeka: Eichman said. I knew the outline of the house could be seen from two different streets and decided to do the front porch, columns and the woodwork too. I thought that would look the To put up all 1.000 lights, Eichman spent three- and-a-half hours on the project. For a while it was really hard because I had to use a ladder, Eichman said. I borrowed a ladder from the neighbors, but four of the rungs were missing and it was a challenge to use it? Matt Wolters, senior in agriculture education, put lights up but without help from a ladder. I crawled up on the roof and about fell off, Wolters said. like putting up lights and always have at home. It contributes to the community atmosphere? Wolters, a resident of 905 Bertrand, used five strands of twinkle lights along the roof line and in a fa tree near the front stoop. Wolters hung lights Dec. 2 and planned to leave them up until he returned to Manhattan in January I put up lights about half the time, Wolters said. It depends on the semester and what ' s going on? Across town at 1741 Laramie St., lights shone around a porch and flashed around the front bedroom window of Luke Deets, senior in architectural engineering.

We ' re along the bar walk and think (we ' ll) influence other people? Evel and Mongeau ' s house stood out with their 10 strands of lights against the darkness surrounding other houses on their street. ' We ' re festive, Evel said. We wanted to be the only ones on the block (with lights up). Most of our mothers sent lights because they wanted the house to be like home? While many students decorated their houses or apartments, the majority of lit homes belonged to permanent Manhattan residents. I think it ' s something all students should do, Eichman said.

Drake On a rare night to themselves, roommates and twin sisters Kris and Cari Jensen enjoyed cooking together. They are both very domestic. Linda Jensen, their mother, said. Now that they have a place to call home. it makes it a lot easier on them. Growing up in Fowler, Colo., the twins lived together their entire lives. Kris and Cari, sophomores in open option, came to K-State fall 2000 to begin their college life. juggling classes, varsityvolkyball and a social life, the two had each other to rely on. it was nice to have her here, Cari said. It made my transition a lot easier. I think I did the same for her, too? The two came to K-State to play volleyball. We both got scholarships, and we wanted to play together? Cari said. ' This is a great team. A nd they had great coaches, so we decided on K-State. Another factor in the decision was the proximity to home. Their parents, Rich and Linda Jensen, tried to attend all the volleyball matches they could. They never missed anything in high school: Cari said. We really wanted to make it a close drive for them when we moved away The move for the girls did not change the way they acted. The girls said they always got along, on and off the court. We don ' t fight; Kris said. When we are playing together, it is more of us working with each other rather than competing. With bothgirls gone, their parents made a transition as well. in high school, we never missed any of our kids ' activities. Linda said. It was hard not knowing how the girls were doing when they were on the road. The two started playing volleyball in the third grade and have played together ever since, except one match in fifth grade when they went head-to-head in a volleyball tournament. it was really weird, Kris said. I was playing, but in the back of my head I was thinking my teammate is on the other side of the net. Although the transition to college was made easier, the twins said they went through the same struggles as other college students. However, they knew they had a friend in each other. it is neat — living together. playing together. Kris said. We really couldn ' t get along any better. eople fusion defined 453 Sophomores in open option, Kris and Cari Jensen study for a hectic upcoming finals week. Kris studies sociology while Cari studies macro- econanics before winter break in their off-campus house. We have to be able to balance our schedule, Kris said. It ' s easy because our schedules are pretty much the same. Slicing oranges, Cad prepares a fruit salad while her twin sister Kris makes the potatoes for their end-of-the- semester dinner Dec.7. With volleyball, classes and a social life they rarely had time for cooking, one of their favorite activities. Before dinner the twins enjoyed a night at home with roommate Liz Wegner, senior in kinesiology. After they ate, both studied for finals. They admitted the transition to college was made easier by having a familiar face around the house. OFF CM Ptal 11 Huggins - LIZO-Urban0 Stacy Huggins .. Overland Park. Kan.

I study at work sometimes because I have to make tune for that. 460 People SAME To N, NEW EXPERIENCE Story by Brent Gray rossing streets, not states Photos by Matt Stamey Many students look to their college resi- dence as a home away from home. For those originally from Manhattan, the experience wasn ' t much different. Kelsey Deets, life-long Manhattan resi- dent, graduated from Manhattan High School in 1999 and decided on K-State after college visits in and out of state. I went on a trip to the University of Nebraska. but the out-of-state tu- ition was just too much for me, Deets, junior in management, said. I am very happy with my decision to stay here. Although she already called Man- hattan home, Deets decided to live in Ford Hall her freshman year. We made both of our children move out if they went to K-State: Kevin Deets. her mother. said. We made a conscience effort not to visit or call, making her contact us. Even though Kelsey admitted she got homesick in her first year away from home, she said her experience in the residence hall forced her into new experiences. When 1 went into Ford I decided to go pot luck, instead of rooming with some of my high school friends, she said. This gave me a chance to really meet new people. The move not only affected Kelsey, her par- ents had to accommodate an empty house. 1 thought it was going to kill me, Kevin said. When she was in high school, she was either not home or we had five other kids in our house. The Deets ' phone line was also neglected. A week after Kelsey moved out, Kevin said the Caller ID had only three messages when a normal week recorded more than 50. After one year in Ford, Kelsey moved into an apartment off campus and decided to con- tinue her tradition of meeting new people. She said she knew one of her three roommates when she moved in. Although things could be hectic at times, Deets said her schedule did not allow much time to spend at home. Kelsey had four jobs and tried to keep a class load of 12 to 15 hours. She held two on- campus jobs as a campus operator and a cake decorator in the Derby Food Complex. Kelsey also worked at the GAP in Manhattan Town Center and for her dad at Buchanan and Com- pany doing office work My best skill is time management, she said. You just have to make your schedule work Staying busy was not a problem for Kelsey. Her living in an apartment and staying active in campus activities has really been good for her, Doug Deets. her father, said. She has matured a lot and that comes from learning how to relate and getting along with people. Kelsey said there was not much of a difference between those who had to cross the street for college and those who had to cross the country for a higher education. People from Manhattan just know where everything is, Kelsey said, and that is the only difference between us and people not from hem. At one of her other jobs in Derby Food Center, Deets decorates cakes in the bakery. Her transition to college was the same as any student ' s despite the fact she is from Manhattan. CCM.

This year gave us new light as a group and as individuals. We found out about a miracle; little John Joseph Quincy Armstrong Knut Rezac- Stiles, and had our share of misfortune like everyone else. When we weren ' t putting this book out we were sleeping, drinking or drinking. After two weeks in the office, during the people section deadline, it proved to be a big mistake to let us roam free in Agsfieville. One staff member was almost fired from her second job. Another was banned from a bar permanently, and a third was an accomplice to the theft of a bottle of Jack Daniels. We played the first-ever Snow Bowl after a blizzard, where President Jon Wefald threw the opening pass. The luck of the president was with us as we prevailed over the Collegian 44-20. Other firsts included our mascot, yearbook guy, who made the Collegian ' s campus founun and an office pet. named after the greatest seven-footer in K-State basketball history, Joe Leonard. Our staff was excited by sightings of past and( or current athletes, former RP sports editors, professors, a certain Dean of Student Life, and a belly dancer who visited quite often. We had a heated debate (comma bright) before breaking into the Collegian Ad Staff mom for cake. Late nights passed with ease as we flashed back to a simpler time. We danced to 80s music, bringing back such classic moves as; the sprinkler, chainsaw, robot, running man and Roger Rabbit. Continuing with the flashback theme we took Four Square breaks and endured Red Rover injuries. A little disheveled after a late work night we knew it was time to go when the noon bell whistle went off. Spending all our time in the office we had to make it fun. We spent days and nights staring at our sexual harassment poster and the Wall 0 ' Tickets, which stems from our ban of Parking Services. We were ultimately fused together into one staff when, for the second consecutive year, we took a shower together. We also had a bonding moment when our photo shoot included a bed, 15 people, whipped cream and a nine iron. We tailgated at a fifth grade basketball game and cheered the Cyclones on in their 46-6 loss. All in all 1 guess it wasn ' t any otheryear or any other book. fusion defined Defining fusion...
