REFRIGE By Lindsey Thorpe Gone were the days of Mom ' s home cooking. 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!

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. I cried when saw the outside of the Pentagon (or the first time after the attack. 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. Aaron Otto, K-State alumnus and policy analyst in the Assessment Division for the Chief of Naval Operations, returned to the Pentagon after being in Norfolk, Va. on business to find friends and co-workers missing and dead. He wrote his personal account in the week following the tradgedy. fusion defined 19
