In 2003, after two years of 20-percent tuition increases, K-State broke its enrollment record for the fifth consecutive year with 23,050 students. Students, facuhy and staff evolved through experiences in academic, social and personal settings. It is a place where students and faculty develop balance, Michael Holen, College of Education dean, said. Sometimes people get unbal- anced with too much academics or too many social events. At K- State, students and faculty do a good job to find out what ' s important to be well-rounded individuals. Students applied classroom fundamentals through hands-on experi- ence on projects and assignments. Architecture majors spent hours in studio focusing on miniature details while constructing models for class projects. Eighty percent of the education gained at K- State did not come from the classroom, said Pat Bosco, vice president of institutional advance- ment and dean of student life. Sporting events, organizations and com- munity living provided diverse opportunities for involvement. On GameDay Fridays, whether the Wildcats were ranked No. 6 or were out of the polls, purple permeated the community in support of athletes and K- State pride. Even when the starting quarterback and run- ning back fell to injuries, fans continued to fill KSU Stadium to support the Cats. Students also united through similar interests by joining campus organizations. The Organizations Carnival allowed students to talk with club leaders to determine what groups suited them best. continued on page 5 Before a pre-gome show, Aaron Schroeder, freshman in mechanical engineering; Matt C.

(We wanted) to help our community out and get to know our neighbors, Lawyer said. I had lots of fun carving pumpkins. All the pumpkins carved by our house we kept outside, and they are lit at night.

Schopaugh also used barbless hooks to keep the fish he released into the lake alive. He said releas- ing smaller fish helped the ecology from getting stressed. Schopaugh taught others how to fly fish and was one of five fly fishing instructors in Kansas. Photo by Kelly Glasscock continued from page 3 - Involvement is one of the key factors, said Jennifer Bakumenko, Student Governing Association Executive Chief of Staff and senior in management. I think it is important for students to be involved, both for themselves and the university. The organizations and different living environments — residence halls, greek houses and off campus — all enhance the social aspect that prepares students with life skills to use in the future. Living groups provided social activities balanced with a productive academic atmosphere. Fraternities and sororities stressed the practice of good study habits through GPA requirements and mandatory study hours, while giving members interactive opportunities to serve the com- munity and personally grow and develop. Aaron Siders, Interfraternity Council president and senior in man- agement, said the kinds of students who came to K- State did not just happen — K- State attracted active students who continually pushed the bounds of excellence. It all comes down to the students and faculty, he said. K- State is very undergraduate -driven in terms of who puts programming together and who makes the decisions. There is a lot of empowerment of under- graduates. It is very unique. Through student legislation and student fess, the SafeRide program provided safe transportation for students who frequented social gather- ings in Aggieville and needed a ride home. Although pursuit of higher education brought students to campus — experiences, relationships and pride marked their transition to K- Staters. It is the long tradition of students to alumni that is the personality and culture of the university, Terry King, College of Engineering dean, said. Administrators come and go. Faculty come and go. It is the day they first become a student that they, K- State students, are the corner- stone. They are the university. Without them, we wouldn ' t exist. w opening d 5 Not connecting on a right jab, Mitch Manner, freshman in biological and agricultural engineering, is punched by Kiel Huntoon, freshman in architectural engineering.

Photo by Kelly Glasscock student life 6 n student life Outside academic responsibilities, students enhanced their education through campus events, personal relationships and interactive activities. Traditional events reflected the personality of K- State spirit. In its sixth year. Mud Volleyball Day, during K-State-Salina ' s Wildcat Welcome Week, attracted hun- dreds of students to spend the afternoon wrestling in the slippery mud. When organized events were not available, students invented activities to fill their time. Wanting a physical activity and a little roughness, a group of friends started informal boxing matches, which ballooned to more than 100 Marlatt Hall residents in two weeks. The university experience stretched the bounds of academia to include personal and social awareness. A group of 29 students formed the backbone of the KSU Marching Band for GameDay performances. Dedicated to practice and professionalism, drum line members formed close friendships with each other. Student activities reflected individual personalities and a collective pride for the university.

The event was part of Wildcat Wel- come Week. It was one very cool time, Laws said. It was great way to get out, let loose and get dirty. This is the third year I ' ve gone and this was definitely the best one yet. Photo by Lindsey Boumon In a parched field on the K-State-Salina campus, Smoky Hill Construction workers created a muddy oasis — dumping nearly 60,000 gallons of water to create a mud-volleyball pit. They had to plow it but the till wouldn ' t go in it was so dry, said Shana Warkentine Meyer, assistant director of advancement of student life. It took about four truckloads of water to get the mud ready. The mud pit was created for Mud Volleyball Day, Aug. 24, during Wildcat Welcome Week. This is one of our favorites for the wel- come week, David Swanson, senior in airway science, said. We try to do new stuff each year, but we keep bringing mud volleyball back. The festivities included T-shirt tie-dying and whipped-cream pie making. Stacks of piecrusts sat ready for students to fill with whipped cream and chocolate syrup. Many of the pies were thrown at students in the volley- ball pit, rather than consumed. The worst part was when I got hit in the face with a pie, Lindsey Boeckman, freshman in professional pilot, said, and that was right after I got thrown in the mud by five guys. Mud-soaked players scrambled after the slippery ball as it sailed over the net, but they rarely made contact. The ball frequently lay unnoticed in the mud as the players wrestled. My favorite thing was rolling around in the mud with my friends, Amanda Wagner, sophomore in airway science, said. Michael Sekavec, freshman in professional pilot, added, It was sloppy and irresistible. Muddy players dragged unsuspecting bystanders into the mess. I just came to watch, Kelly Carrico, admissions office counselor, said. T hen I was surrounded by four students who proceeded to throw me in, in my good clothes. I want reimbursement for the cleaning bill. In spite of the mess, mud volleyball was reputed as being the most popular event of Wildcat Welcome Week. I love the camaraderie, Anthony Foster, junior in computer science technology, said. We really get everyone out for this event. The other events are fun, but mud volleyball gets everyone ' s attention. by Jacob Walker r ■ ■-■ ' I 8 D Student life In a surprise attack, Kyle McConnell, freshman in computer science technol- ogy, and Casey Knudson, senior in technology management, drop Kelly Corrico, admissions office counselor, in the mud durinc Mud Volleyball Doy at K-State-Salino, Carrico had stopped by the event to watch students when she was carried into the pit.

Photo by Katie Lester Echoing through KSU Stadium, the regimented and synchronized sounds of the drum line resounded before the pre-game ceremonies. The 29-member squad marched once around Wagner Field 30 minutes before kickoff Derrick Lund, sophomore in mass communication, said it was one way to get fans pumped for the game. Lund, who was on a drum line since his high school freshman year, said he enjoyed performing before home football games. Pre-game is the best, he said, especially when KU ' s going to be in town and when we play Wabash, because everyone is fired up. The Wabash Cannonball involved clapping while leaning forward and backward repeatedly. We tell freshmen, ' don ' t look at the crowd, ' lefferey Hewitt, senior in music education, said. The drum line offered opportunities to make friends and build lasting relationships. Being on drum line is a chance for me to build relationships with people who enjoy doing the same thing, Jennifer Cordell, freshman in secondary education, said. We all love to play. Cordell, who originally played clarinet and was a drum major in high school, switched to drum line when she came to K- State. I had the option of going back to the clarinet, she said. The drum line had always appealed to me because they ' re a close-knit group and I enjoy percussion. Cordell, who played bass drum No. 3, said her only complaint was sore muscles after playing due to the drum ' s weight and large size. I don ' t like having a sore back and calluses all the time, she said. (But) I like all of it. I don ' t notice the bad stuff because I love it. She said her hard work to become part of the drum line paid off. Playing at the football games is probably the best experience I ' ve had up here so far, she said. I love the crowd and how supportive our school is of the team. It ' s fun to be part of the rally. lOostudent life Robert K, Campbell, fresh- man in music, plays the snare drum while Slcpham.

Multiple practices during the week helped prepare not only drum line but the entire KSU Marching Bond for performances during the home gomes. The bond was allowed to practice on Wogner Field only hours before kickoff on Game- Day and then retreated to Bramlage Coliseum to relax before the pre-game show.

Photo by Kelly Glasscock 12DStudent life canoe class n 1 3 seminar with SCENERY continued from page 13 Fundamental Canoeing was offered through UFM for one credit hour at the River Pond Area in Tuttle Creek State Parle. I think I gained a definite appreciation for nature through the canoeing course, Audrea Westfall, sophomore in open-option, said. It really opened my eyes to nature like I hadn ' t seen before, especially in this area. Fundamental Canoeing covered the proper techniques for perform- ing four, basic paddle strokes; emphasizing, analyzing and refining stroke techniques; proper paddle-sizing; and boat control. It was a great pleasure to be exposed to people so much younger than I am, Charlie Burgess, instructor, said. They were all most respectful and I was extremely proud to be a part of their life that week. Students learned canoe nomenclature, river safety, canoe rescue techniques, communication signals and how to use river currents to their advantage. Canoeing was really cool because we got to see some eagles and other animals in nature, Clayton Issitt, freshman in business adminis- tration, said. The hardest part about canoeing was trying to get in and out of the boats. Burgess, and his wife, owned Kansas River Outfitters, a business that sold camping gear and rented canoes, kayaks and other outdoor products. Burgess began teaching canoeing through his business when he started advising people who wanted to canoe or kayak in the sum- mers. That evolved to lessons for Shawnee County Park and Recreation Summer Camp, scout and church groups and then the K- State class. Burgess first started canoeing 50 years ago with his father. He saw canoeing as an excellent hobby and the only place to experience com- plete freedom. I would definitely recommend this class to other people, Westfall said. It was a different kind of learning experience everyone should have. It was hands on, fun to learn about nature and something you can do for the rest of your life. 14DStudent life Before class, -- , freshman in open- option, lifts a canoe off the trailer at the swim area of Tuttle Creek Reservoir for his Fundamental Canoe- ing class.

A couple of guys down the hall got out their gloves, John Becker, freshman in open-option, said. Then another guy, Clayton Lidgett, knew how to ref, so we just decided to organize a little something to take out some aggression. Common sense ruled the simple matches: one-minute rounds, 30 seconds between each round and the fight ended at the first sight of blood, Becker said. And we let everyone know that if they got hurt, they were the ones who volunteered, he said. So it wasn ' t anyone else ' s fault. The small group of fighters quickly grew into a crowd of hundreds. People just started volunteering to fight, Lidgett, freshman in architectural engineering, said. People saw what we were doing out their windows and came downstairs to fight. Members of the crowd issued challenges to one another, set up matches and added another dimension to the event, Stevy Townsel, freshman in art, said. That dude kept challenging me, Townsel said. He kept on chal- lenging me. I beat him though — dude quit after the first round. The event was such a big hit that Becker and Lidgett decided to have matches once a week, Wednesdays at 9 p.m., but the idea was short lived. About halfway through the third night, we had the police show up, Lidgett said. They said they had gotten complaints from a bunch of people and that unless we had a permit and crowd control, the whole thing was illegal. The police told the students they were disturbing the peace and were guilty of battery, disorderly conduct and unlawful assembly, Becker said. When we first started the whole thing, we asked our R.A. (Tyler Van Slyke) if it was all right, Lidgett said. He took it to the Hall Gov- erning Board and they voted that it was all right. But apparently the cops didn ' t agree. The students were issued a warning by the police and were told to cease the weekly fights. Becker and Lidgett said they looked into getting a permit and start- ing a boxing club but the impromptu Wednesday fight nights were postponed indefinitely. boxing D 17 Rogelio Soldevilla, senior In construction science and management, and Maria Prieto, graduate student in business administration, dance at Shotz Bar and Grill.

Shotz featured outdoor foam parties for bar patrons occasionally throughout the year. The new bar also housed the largest dance floor in Manhattan.

Photo by Kelly Glasscock . y unlimited by Jenny Shoemaker I 1 I I I What was frequently off-limits became an opportunity for students younger than 21 to enter the bar scene. Opened in August, Shotz Bar Grill featured the band Ten Till Blue and allowed those 18 and older to enter for designated events. The fact that there was a band playing is what drew me into the bar, Alicia Davignon, freshman in modern languages, said. Also, the fact that they were letting 18 and older in, I figured it would be a good opportunity to go, whereas I wouldn ' t be able to go otherwise. The ahernate layout benefited patrons wanting to socialize, Davi- gnon said. I thought that it was a lot roomier than other bars — it wasn ' t cramped or anything, Davignon said. It was nice because they had the stage separated from the tables, so you could have room to sit down and talk if you wanted or join others at the stage without bothering those sitting down. Melanie Gruber, freshman in apparel marketing and design, said she liked the open design of the bar. It seemed a lot more advanced than other bars, not just a hole in the wall, Gruber said. They had a nice dance floor. It wasn ' t just a nasty bar. Shotz replaced the western themed Longhorn ' s Waydown Lounge. (Shotz) really was a neat atmosphere, Davignon said. It was really crowded, a popular place to go. It seemed like there were so many people. I think they have good entertainment there withought being cramped. I felt as if I could actually move around. The appearance was not the only appealing part about the bar, the entertainment also delighted students who stood in the front row and yelled for the band, Gruber said. For those of drinking age, non- traditional beverage containers dis- tinguished Shotz from other bars. I did notice that they had these shots in little test-tube glasses, which were kind of cool, and they passed them around, Davignon said. I thought that was really unique about the bar. After opening, Shotz experimented with parties where machines covered the bar area and patrons in foam. I ' ve heard about the foam parties, Grant Klingenberg, sophomore in agricultural economics, said. They sound wild. I ' ve heard the foam gets really high and you almost suffocate, but that ' s part of the fun, right? shotz 19 Comedian Al Fran ken signs bool s, does stand-up ' ' • ' Ms McCain by Jacob Walker Al Franken ' s appearance at McCain Auditorium, Nov. 7, was not politically correct. Saturday Night Live ' s own political satirist did not spare a single word before starting his comedic attack. After being introduced, his first words were, Are there any Phelpses here? in reference to the leader of the God Hates Fags movement, Fred Phelps, who picketed his performance at the University of Kansas. Franken said Phelps admitted he thought Franken was funny, even if Phelps was against everything Franken stood for. In his methodical manner, Franken poked fun at everything from the possible usefulness of the elderly in military or space programs to the Christian Coalition and Jerry Falwell. Franken said Falwell saved his career in the days following the Sept. 11 terrorist attacks. The best part was when he went over the plans for the elderly and the military, Chad Howard, junior in theater, said. It was so wrong, but just so funny. Franken also plugged his new book, Lies and the Lying Liars Who Tell Them: A Fair and Balanced Look at the Right, and the lawsuit filed against him by the Fox News Network over his use of the Fair and Bal- anced slogan. Franken said the paperback edition of his book included the court case transcript. He said it should be titled A Lawyer ' s Nightmare, since the case was literally laughed out of the courtroom. One of Franken ' s strengths was his knowledge of politics and current events, Howard said. I ' ve always been a fan of his work, he said. But the thing about his stuff is how smart it is. He always knows what he ' s talking about and he never makes fun of you until he ' s done his research. The audience ' s reaction to Franken ' s material was enthusiastic — one reason he enjoyed visiting colleges, he said. I always prefer going to schools like this rather than a corporate function, Franken said. There, I have to follow different rules and kind of watch what 1 say. Here, I can do things with more freedom, and everyone enjoys it more. Here, it gets to be comedy, which everyone loves. Everyone loves to laugh. 20DStudentlife 1)1 ' j l ll l 1 nl UEflL I P pi J Mm I • ; « S., Comedian and author Al Frankcn shakes the hand of a fan during his book-signing session after the K-State fall comedy show sponsored by Union Program Council.

Student Body President John O ' Hara, senior in finance, and Vice Presi- dent Travis Stryker, fifth -year in architectural engineering, met at Delta Upsilon fraternity in fall 2001. Though the pair lived together only one semester at DU, they shared an apartment with Christopher Althoff, graduate student in business administration, during their term in office. Ahhough they shared an office and an apartment, Stryker said they were rarely in the same place at the same time. We have not seen each other much at home and we ' re almost never in the office at the same time, he said, but we can always find each other. We ' re going in different directions throughout the day so we ' ll try to get together at the end of the day to catch up. While working on university projects, O ' Hara said constant com- munication was necessary to keep each other informed. We kind of work together on everything, but one of us is in charge of the project, Stryker said. We both help each other out. We ' re big into teamwork and having multiple ideas. Althoff said th e duo ' s differences strengthened their working relationship. Travis is more logical, he said. As an engineering type, he ' s very analytical. John is more emotional. He looks at the effects for the people. It really blends well. A lot of what they deal with is two-sided — there is a logistical side that Travis understands and John looks at how an issue will affect the students. It helps them do great things. Students in different colleges, O ' Hara and Stryker related to a greater vari- ety of student issues because their combined experiences covered more areas, Stryker said. He said they used varying experiences to watch each other ' s back. We play devil ' s advocate to each other, Stryker said. I can ' t think of something we truly have opposite views on. We do have a friendship and that is most important. We question each other ' s ideas about where we ' re headed and what actions to take. We know not to let something break up our friendship. I think a tru e friend questions everything to make sure you do the right thing. Ahhoff said O ' Hara and Stryker ' s actions reflected their commitment. They care a lot, he said. If they have bad days... sometimes they are worried they didn ' t do a good-enough job. They take things seri- ously. They are passionate individuals. 22Dstudent life In their apartment, O ' Haro and S ' r , Ler watch a news program.

Frith Community Center. This program assists in making these students ' lives a little bit eoiser in a very unfamiliar setting, Kelly Thocker said.

However, the cities interna- tional students called home were thousands of miles away. Booking a flight to go home for winter break was relatively easy, but the students had to find an affordable way to get to Kansas City International Airport. The International Rides pro- gram was one option international students had for free transporta- tion to and from Kansas City, Mo. I ' ve taken the KCI Road- runner several times, and, one time, I was really close to being late, said Elsa Ariesanti, graduate student in mechanical engineering and international student from Indonesia. This is definitely a good alternative. The International Rides Pro- gram ' s first trip was Dec. 17. Mary Beth Cook, graduate research assistant in the International Pro- grams office, said the late start was accredited to a lack of funds. The idea has been bounced around for years, but the office could not afford to have a ser- vice, Cook said. The Student Senate last year passed the Global Education Initiative. This initia- tive is aimed at providing study abroad scholarships to current Kansas State students and to provide transportation to welcome international students to our university. K- State students drove inter- national students to KCI in vans. Kelly Thacker, Jardine Terrace Apartments assistant coordinator and graduate student in student counseling and personal services, helped Cook drive the shuttle. What appealed to me about the program was the fact that every day I am working with a large portion of the international and non-traditional student population on the K- State campus through my work at Jardine, Thacker said, And often they are the forgotten students. Everyone throughout Jardine, K- State and the international community has shown me so much unconditional love, acceptance and understand- ing that I strive to make their lives just a little bit easier and try to be one more person to advocate for their needs. This is just one more way I can share my times and talents. As an out-of-state student, Thacker said she had a better understanding of the importance of reliable transportation. I understand the issues and problems with driving to the airport, she said. I cannot ev en fathom being from another coun- try and having to find my own transportation for my family to and from an airport that is a two- hour car ride away. Cook said international stu- dents were important to the uni- versity and gave domestic-born students a chance to learn about other ways of life. I believe that international students bring an incredible amount of strength to our uni- versity - academically, financially and most importantly, cultur- ally, Cook said. All Kansas State students can benefit from know- ing people from around the world from people who do things and think differently than they do. international rides r 25 students search, find best textbook values by Lindsay Porter ways to bargain When students looked for affordable textbooks, they had several available avenues. Most students purchased textbooks through Varney ' s Book Store or the K- State Student Union Bookstore, but others found different venues for buying and selling textbooks. Dave Sattler, sophomore in mechanical engineering, said he purchased half of his books directly from students who previously completed the classes. I prefer getting books from students because it saves everyone money, he said. Usually you can buy books for 60 percent of Varney ' s prices and sell for 50 percent. Sattler also tried to sell textbooks through the Book Exchange wall in the K-State Student Union. Students advertised books for sale or books wanted on colored cards at the exchange wall. Sattler did not receive any responses for the calculus book he posted, but said he thought the wall was beneficial. Kristi Ogorzolka, sophomore in business administration, joined KSUBooks.com to find cheap textbooks. KSUBooks.com was a Web site created fall 2003 by Brett Beam, junior in industrial engineering; Branden Comfort, junior in business administration, and Ross Wilson, sophomore in computer engineering. It ' s something people do at other universities, Wilson said. It was something K- State didn ' t have. Most students are online anyway. If they are online, they might as well buy books. The site was set up as an electronic message board for students to post books for sale and others could post responses. Although access to the site was free, students registered with site administrators to ensure they were K- State students. As of Feb. 3, there were 646 members. Wilson said he thought there were more than 175 books sold through the site in its first year. Ogorzolka joined the site, Nov. 29, and posted two message inquiries about books for sale. I saw a flier and figured I ' d look at it, she said. I found a couple of books that I could use and bought one of them. Ogorzolka spent $15 on her book, and Wilson said most users would sell for half of the bookstores ' prices. They get an equal price selling and buying, he said. It is a win- win situation. 26Qstudent life The Book Exchange wall in the K-State Student Union offers students a place to advertise books for sale. Dove Saltier, sophomore in mechanical engineering, said students preferred getting books from other students because it saved both people money. You don ' t lose money and other people don ' t have to spend too much, he said. The wall was open to anyone with purple cards for items for sole and blue cords for items wanted.

Dan Walter, textbook manager at Varney ' s Book Store, said the store paid close to 50 percent on textbooks until the store ' s quota was filled, then the percentage decreased or textbooks were no longer accepted. He said students on average could spend between $400 and $500 on textbooks each semester.

My first time bartending, I was nervous about messing stuff up, but now I ' m good, Fanning said. Photo by Nicole Donnert 28 o student life I Handling the antics of inebriated customers, pouring drintcs with provocative-sounding names and finishing work at 2:30 a.m., were all in a night ' s work for student bartenders. In her two and a half years waitressing and bartending at Rusty ' s Last Chance Restaurant and Saloon, January Fanning, senior in interior design, said she saw all kinds of human behavior. At least once a week we have to kick somebody out because they ' re annoying everyone, Fanning said. Noth- ing surprises me anymore. Fanning typically worked the late shift twice a week. She said her time behind the bar taught her to have patience. You have to deal with a lot of different people, Fanning said. You get your drunk people, and you get your people who come in and think it ' s a restaurant and want you to have high class service. Bartending takes a lot of patience. Before being promoted to bartender, Fanning wait- ressed at Chance. Fellow bartender Jamie Stewart, senior in finance, also began as a waitress. Both said they preferred bartending to waitressing. When you ' re behind the bar and somebody ' s annoying you, you can choose to walk away, Stewart said. One thing I didn ' t like about waitressing was all the groping. Although bar employees sometimes worked in unfavorable condi- tions, Stewart and Fanning said the money and friendships they formed made their job worth it. I ' ve met a lot of people that are my good friends now, Stewart said. Working there this long, you know everybody. It ' s like one big family. Having hardworking and friendly employees was the key to success. Rusty Wilson, owner of five Aggieville bars, said. That ' s why Last Chance has been so successful, Wilson said. It ' s because of hiring good people. Your people need to have creative ideas. Wilson gave his employees creative freedom in his bars. They had input on advertising, promotions and T-shirts. Some of the girls have shirts that say ' Rusty Girl ' on them, Wilson said. One night, they had something saying, ' Show us your tips.

I totally recommend it, Photo by Jeanel Drake a safe way to by Jenny Shoemaker GET HOME When students went out for a night filled with drinks and parties, they took coats, cash and student IDs, but thanks to SafeRide, car keys were optional. SafeRide, a program started by the Office of Student Activities and Services to prevent students from drinking and driving, provided free transportation for students and friends. (A student) calls the number, (and) they will ask where you ' re at, and where you ' re going, Ashleigh Moffat, freshman in journalism and mass communications, said. They take you home as long as one person in the group has a student ID. SafeRide ' s goal was to reduce the number of drunk drivers and the consequences of driving while under the influence. Holly Schaper, Junior in medical technology, said. We were drinking, and it ' s not good to drink and drive, Moffat said. (SafeRide) keeps people from getting behind the wheel and caus- ing an accident. Introducing SafeRide was a benefit to the community because it picked up students and kept them off the roads, Bryan Brinkman, junior in horticulture, said. You don ' t want anyone on the roads after drinking, Brinkman said. It ' s dangerous and stupid. With SafeRide, there is no excuse. Students had to follow rules to use the program — no more than four students per car, a student ID had to be shown and the persons riding had to be going home and live within city limits. There are no questions asked, Brinkman said. They pick you up, and you don ' t have to worry about someone, like friends or parents, coming to pick you up or having to pay, because it ' s free. SafeRide operated Thursday, Friday and Saturday from II p.m. to 3 a.m., which, Schaper said, was when most students went out. It ' s a program that gives students a safe way home from a party or a bar, so they don ' t have to have a friend drive or drive themselves home drunk, Schaper said. You ' re guaranteed a safe way to get home. saferide □ 3 1 Q fOmily by Trad Rainbolt GATHERING Family Weekend — for two days, families had the opportunity to visit campus and spend time with their students. With a variety of events and activities, each family celebrated the week- end in a unique way. Families toured campus, took students out to eat and went shopping at area hot spots, Aggieville, Manhattan Town Center and the K- State Union Bookstore. The Szczucinski ' s started their day at Cox Bro ' s BBQ for lunch. Whitney Szczucinski, freshman in elementary education, and her parents discussed the beneficial college preparation she received. Having a sister who has already completed college was helpful and my having been in law school when she was young was probably helpful, Susan Szczucinski, Whitney ' s mother, said. At least with Jenny (Whitney ' s sister) and I as role models, and her father and I stressing the importance of education all of her life, we knew she ' d be fine. After lunch, the Szczucinski ' s shopped at Target for residence hall sup - plies including a crock-pot and laundry detergent. Then they visited the K- State Union Bookstore to gear up with purple apparel. Afterward, they returned to Whitney ' s room in Moore Hall to relax. Their conversations consisted of current events, college and things back home. I wish I had my animals here at college with me, Whitney said. I At the K-State Union Book- miss them, especially my cat. Sable, who slept on my bed everyday.

We miss her of course, but this should be good for all of us to appreciate each other more and not take each other for granted, Susan said. The family ended their day with dinner at Harry ' s Downtown. It was really nice to have my family come down because I hadn ' t seen them since the day they moved me in, Whitney said. They finally had a chance to see how I got everything set up and how well-adjusted I am here. 6 32 DStudent life , ' — . -  In Edwards Hall, Whitney shows her dad, Chris, the office where she works.

Photo by Jeanel Drake family day l 33 i corner 34 □ student life s tones K- State became home to students, faculty and staff. Each person ' s university experience was unique, but unity was found in events that relayed a statement about the personality of the college. The agricultural roots of the university, the influence of a strong leader and the loyalty of graduates were bedrock sym- bols of the essence of K- State. Students found their cornerstones by reflecting on their understanding of K- State and recognizing what contributed to their development through academic, social, cultural and personal knowledge. _ cornerstones n 35 As far back as the original Bluemont College Charter, interest in agriculture has been central to students, accord- ing to Kansas State University — The Quest for Identity, by James Carey. Based deeply in agriculture, the school developed strong programs in the sciences, which shaped academics at K- State. Without the College of Agriculture, we would just be another KU, Larry Erpelding, College of Agriculture associ- ate dean, said. It would be really hard for two institutions of the same curriculum to survive in Kansas. In 1862, Congress passed the Morrill Act, which cleared the way for states to build land-grant colleges to specialize in agriculture, domestic arts and the mechanical arts. In an early session in 1863, the Kansas Legislature was the first state to pass the Morrill Act. Kansas State Agricultural College — K- State — was the first to benefit from the act. Prior to the Morrill Act, most universities were based in professional studies not technical skills. The Morrill Act played a large part in molding K- State ' s future. Although K- State ' s curriculum broadened over the years to include liberal arts, business and other areas of study, agriculture remained deeply rooted. The College of Agriculture evolved from teaching farming techniques to include 12 areas of study ranging from agricul- 1 tural economics to food science. In 2003, about 10 percent of undergraduates studied agrij culture. I think our mission has basically been the same — to serve the people of Kansas and rural and urban areas, George Ham, College of Agriculture dean, said. We are still working to improve the quality of life to all Kansans throughl teaching, research and extension. Ham said the agriculture major was broader than farm- ing and ranching. Through agricultural education and agricultural commu- nications, agriculture ' s influence in related industries grew larger. With the impact of agriculture in different indus- tries growing every day, and about 20 percent of the Gross National Product generated by agriculture, the College of Agriculture continued to be a prominent and strong part of. the university. I perceive, and hope, that the College of Agriculture ' s role would not diminish, Erpelding said, because our stu- dents are going out and influencing many different indus- tries and achieving amazing things.

Bill Snyder, the offensive coordinator, quarterback coach and receiver coach at the University of lov a, was named head coach for the Wildcats. Under the previous head coach, Stan Parrish, K- State ' s record was 2-30-1. In the three seasons before the Snyder- era, the record books contained embarrassing statistics, which included Oklahoma ' s NCAA record of 768 yards on 72 rushes. In its 107-year history, K- State ' s program saw 30 coaches with a total record of 299-509-40. From 1989 to 2002, Snyder led the Cats in 10 of the school ' s 35 winning seasons. yi By Brent Gray and Andi Rice Photo by Kelly Glasscock 1998 K-State finished 1 1 -2 on the year and went to the Big 12 Championship ranked No. 1 in ESPN USA Today Coaches Poll and lost to Texas A M, 36-33, in overtime. Snyder was named National Coach of the Year. 2000 A 35-21 win in the Southwestern Bell Cotton Bowl against Tennessee made the graduating seniors ' record 44-7, making K-State the only school in the past four years to have 1 1 -win seasons. It gave the seniors on the team the second-highest winning percentage in the nation. 2003 Snyder entered the season with 116 wins under the K-State banner. The Cats were ranked No. 6 in a pre- season poll with the nation ' s sixth longest active winning streak. 2003 K-S ate versus Oklahoma State — Kelly Glasscock football n 39 With more than 37,000 members, K- State was ranked No. 1 in the Big 12 Conference for the ratio of graduates to alumni association members, said Courtney Marshall, direc- tor of communications and member services. Our K- State affinity is very strong, Marshall said. It carries into the support of alumni. (The ranking) comes from trying to educate alumni of what the Alumni Associa- tion does, beginning with recruitment of new students. We encourage graduates to support our causes. The ranking showed graduates supported and recognized the association ' s efforts, she said. The Alumni Center itself was a building tool to educate the public and alumni about the association. The mission of the Alumni Association is to enhance K- State through life -long involvement, she said. We ' re open to students. We want them to come and feel welcome and at home here. The Alumni Association programs provided opportuni- ties for alumni to continue their involvement with students and the university. The Student Alumni Association, which began in fall 2002, aimed to include students in the association, while stressing their tie to K- State after graduation. The group organized watch parties for away football games and other social outings for members. The Student Alumni Board focused on promoting K- State to prospective students. The group of 30 students I created in 1981, involved students in association activities. When elected to the student board, members met pro- spective, current and former students while showcasing the Alumni Association, Blake Bauer, SAB president and senior in agribusiness, said. (Meeting people) is a skill they can use later in life, Bam er said. It ' s a skill beneficial for the workforce, because they are able to get a broad range of communication skills. The board planned and sponsored college Senior Days and the high school events For Sophomores Only and Just for Juniors. | Just for Juniors gave high school juniors a chance to learn about college life and visit with K- State students. The juniors attending had a chance to win a $100 scholarship. [ The Alumni Association organized a Junior Wildcat Day. Children in the Junior Wildcat club met student athletes and received autographs. It ' s a great way to get young people exposed to meet- ing student athletes, Melissa JJeidrick, associate director of alumni programs, said. Kids are able to learn the concept oft the student- athletic family. After students graduated, they continued to be members of the K- State family because of the link forged through the Alumni Association, Bauer said. A lot of alumni come back for lots of reasons, Bauer said. Students should know that alumni are always here. They would love for students to ask for help.

At the time, it cost 50 cents per-dozen pieces of clothing to be washed. Ten years later, a group of seniors, fed up with high-priced mer- chandise, opened The Students Co-operative Association, intending to furnish supplies and food to college students at low cost. Business sometimes had some funny twists in the beginning, Dan Walter, Aggieville historian said. One man lost a fortune by not listen- ing to his wife ' s business advice. Another man made his fortune through a late-night poker game. The pressures of business caused one man to desert his business and leave town with no notice, while another man took his own life in the back of his shop. The 20th Century In 1908, Joseph Guy Varney opened The College Book Store. The corporation name changed to the University Book Store, but the store name remained Varney ' s Book Store. In 1951, Backmon Ballard ' s Sporting Goods opened. The partners split in 1954, and Charles and Leah Ballard established Ballard ' s Sporting Goods in downtown Man- hattan. The store moved to Aggieville in 1 961 . Ballard ' s is one of those businesses that has been here over 50 years, and the name itself means a lot to Aggieville, Tamel Sisney, assistant manager of Bollards, said. We offer a lot of good stuff and try to have good customer service to keep the people coming bock. In 1963, Keith Kite Thomas opened Kite ' s Bar and Grill on 12th street. It was the popular hangout for students. Bill Niederee, K-State alumnus, said. Forty years later. Kite ' s was sold, renovated, and renamed 12th Street Pub. The nice thing about Kite ' s was that during the daytime you and your friends could go in and get a beer and find a quiet place to study, Niederee said. At night, it was the place to hong out, because it was huge. It took you awhile to get through, just to be able to see who was all there, but you always knew that you could know someone there. The age of Rusty In 1989, Rusty Wilson opened Rusty ' s Lost Chance and Rusty ' s Front Patio. In the years following, he opened Rusty ' s Next Door, Other Side, Back Porch and Outback. I think the community has accepted it very well, Wilson said. We were voted No. 1 bar in The Manhattan Mercury the past three years. Rusty ' s targets the residents and college students in Manhattan. In 2003, Wilson, who was a bartender and manager at the original Kite ' s, reopened the bar in its original location and attempted to cap- ture the bar ' s old atmosphere. Wilson added sports photographs and attached awnings similar to the original ones. He also designed the food menu to resemble the original Kite ' s menu. We want to target the parent ' s generation with Kite ' s, Wilson said. Parents and alumni are alway s coming back and Kite ' s is some- thing they con identify with from that era. We also want to build a new tradition along with Rusty ' s Last Chance. 42 □ Student life social life aggieville Throughout its 115 -year history, Aggieville provided entertainment, shopping and a variety of other services. From children who came to see the St. Patrick ' s Day Parade to Manhattan residents to the college students Aggieville relied on for its work force and customer base, Aggieville influenced people of all ages, Dan Walter, Aggieville histo- rian, said. However, the story of Aggieville was as long and colorful as the history of the college that paved the way for its exis- tence, he said. The story of Aggieville is really the story of individuals trying to live out the American dream, Walter said.

Members of greek organizations comprised 15 percent of the student body, according to 2002 figures from Greek Affairs. (The greek community) plays a pivotal role in defining K- State, Aaron Siders, senior in marketing, said. We ' re always pushing the limit on new ideas. Siders, member of Delta Upsilon and president of Interfraternity Council, said greeks have always worked hand-in-hand with the university. Greeks filled about 65 percent of leadership positions on campus, Siders said. I don ' t think the greeks look to control, he said. I think what happens is your brothers and sisters rally around you When you go for something. Your brothers and sisters can. . . help get you motivated. Sara Jahansouz, junior in life sciences and Panhellenic Council president, said greek involvement on campus and in |the community showed how special the greek system was. The service we do for others (is most important), lahansouz said. Because helping those that are less fortunate than us is the only way you can truly be successful. Greek Affairs, the body that oversees greek activity at K- State, stood out from programs at other universities because it was not under the university ' s control, Siders said. Not many people are aware that Greek Affairs is not under any umbrella, Siders said. We have nobody who calls the shots. We make our own policy, we hold our own students accountable. We can ' t be shut down like at other universities. I believe that greek houses will always be a part of K- State. We are continually building on the foundation we ' ve already laid. Jahansouz said she believes the greek system will continue impacting K- State. As long as Kansas State would recruit amazing new students, she said, it would be a prime opportunity to recruit new members. The more quality K- State brings in, the more quality the greek community will be as well.

Tony Crawford, university archivist, says, ' that of all the archival items the university has, the Royal Purple yearbook is the single most used item, ' said Linda Puntney, assistant director of Student Pub- lications Inc. and adviser for the RP. That ' s significant because it ' s an indication that we ' re the book of record and the history for the university. The RP is the eyes and ears for all students to help them remember and relive the 2003-2004 year. Student- run media served two purposes at K- State — to cater to the student and Manhattan community audience and to give students real-world expe rience in the field of journalism. Four branches of K- State media — the Collegian newspaper, the Royal Purple yearbook, Orion Online Web design and KSDB-FM 91.9 radio station — were produced by student staffs. Both the Collegian and RP were housed in Kedzie Hall. The two publications collectively acquired 20 Associated Collegiate Press Pacemaker Awards in the past 15 years. Orion Online provided businesses, nonprofit organiza- tions and campus institutions with a staff of Web designers. Orion gave students experience meeting clients ' deadlines and demands. KSDB broadcast for the K- State community since 1949. Along with music and news programming, the station boasted live broadcasts of athletic events.

KSDB began broadcasting in 1949 at 10 watts. In 1987, power increased to its current level, 1400 wafts. From the beginning, KSDB was student operated. In 1998, the position of student executive director was created Adorn Mogette, senior in moss communication and rock music director, sold he thought it was important to keep the control in the students ' hands. I think it ' s the way to do it, Mogette said. It ' s our radio station. I think we should be running it. I just hope I ' m doing on effective job of reflecting our students ' diverse musical tastes. Mogette said the KSDB staff served students ' needs. Most of the people that I run into at the bars when I ' m wearing my 91.9 shirt tell me I ' m doing a great job, Mogette said.

In 1998, a staff survey reported more than 85 •:■ percent of students, faculty and staff read the Collegian at • least twice a week. Students produced the first Collegian in 1896. In 1994, the Collegian became the third college newspaper to pub- lish doily on the Internet. Paul Restivo, senior in secondary education and 2003 foil Collegian editor in chief, partially attributed the Collegian ' s success to its varied staff. We hove o more diverse staff because we don ' t hove prerequisites, Restivo said. We take freshmen, and we syndicate people. That ends up affecting the product, because we have so many diverse backgrounds. Orion Online Since its inception in 1998, Orion Online student-staff members designed home pages for businesses and organizations. The Orion staff experienced all the duties, stresses and pressures of meeting clients ' demands. We ploy o huge role in getting students real-world experience, David Smoller, Orion director, said. It ' s different than just doing it for a class. It teaches our kids to deal with real-world expectations and deadlines instead of classroom expectations and deadlines. Orion differed from other student-run medio because it published for an audience outside the K-State community. The 10- to 15-member staff worked for nonprofit organi- zations, but served K-State as well. Orion designed the Web sites for McCain Auditorium, the Marianna Kistler Beach Museum of Art, the colleges of Education and Human Ecol- ogy, and the A.Q. Miller School of Journalism and Moss Communications. Royal Purple yearbook Documenting the year ' s events, the Royal Purple provided a tangible memory of K-State. Class books first appeared at K-State in 1891, and the first annual named Royal Purple was published in 1909. Over the years, the RP set trends in yearbook journalism. If was the first to apply color photographs to the cover, embossed designs on division pages and UV lamination on photographs. The 18-person, student staff handled all aspects of the book, including organization, writing, design, photography and marketing. Coverage extended beyond words and photographs.

The skits are a big part of if, getting to be the source of everybody ' s entertainment. Also, there is a certain pride he takes from being one of the best of his kind. {■ How often does Willie train for his skits and performances? A few years ago, a skit idea would be thought up a few days before it would be performed, Willie would just write down the idea, get it approved, and then make sure the sound people had a soundtrack CD burnt. It ' s changed a lot since then. Nowa- days it is a very detailed process, all of the skits hove to be approved in the summer previous to the season. All the details, the props, assistants, plot, everything down to the best position for the jumbo-tron cameras to set up. Willie has to have a soundtrack CD cut and do run-throughs. 2003 K- State versus Marshall -Jeonel Drake What are some of the challenges he faces? Criticism from fans like ' Willie is the reason we lost the game. ' It ' s kind of hard to swal- low, but if the team isn ' t doing well, Willie sometimes takes the blame for it. Also, keep- ing his true identity anonymous is cholleng- ing because there is always the temptation to just tell one or two people, but if he did, then they would get the some urge and suddenly everyone would know the secret. i How are inter-collegiate mascot relations? Mascots are an odd crowd. When Willie goes to mascot camps, the mascots are in awe in spite of themselves. Willie is one of the few mascots that doesn ' t have a full body costume, and some of the mascots think that idea is kind of silly, but once they see the reaction Willie gets from the crowds and all of the great skits he gets to do, they wish they were in his place. As for enemies, on game days, as long as they stay on their side of the field, he ' ll stay on his. 48 n Student life 2000 ESPN College GomeDay — Evan Semen spirit pride willie For the past 40 years, Willie the Wildcat has been a symbol of K- State spirit. Willie worked to excite sports crowds through his motions and antics, and he appeared at Alumni events. When he appeared in public, Willie silently communi- cated through big gestures and body language, but in one- on-one situations a member of his staff spoke in his place. RP: How did K- State become Willie ' s home? Lance Stafford, senior in elementary education and member of Willie ' s staff: Animals were the most common choice back when Willie got started, even in a land -grant school. It became popular to have animal mascots. You can be a little more creative and have a little more style than a human mascot. Animals can usually generate more enthusi- asm from the crowd. There ' s more of a feeling of spirit than there is with a big goofy- looking human costume. By Jacob Walker Photo by Kelly Glasscock How does he motivate students to get involved? Big gestures-lots of them. Fingers in the air. Waving his hands and his towel. And he puts his hands to his ear to get everyone to cheer louder. The crowd loves it when he beats his chest like Torzan. He even tries to get alumni involved.

It ' s what resident Matthew McGuire, senior in chemical engineering, calls an identifying mark. When people ask us where we live, he said, we tell the address and then say, ' you know, the house with the chicken in front of it. ' In the 2003 spring semester, Brandon Braley, senior in chemical engineering, and his roommates went to Orschein Farm and Home Supply and came home with three baby chicks; they raised each with heat lamps, but raccoons ate two of the three. Winston, the surviving rooster, attracted a lot of attention. The bird follows you down the sidewalk for a while sometimes when you are going to class, he said. Then he ' ll come back home. When Braley ' s new roommates found out a rooster came with the house, they didn ' t know what to think. I wasn ' t really sure about it. I was like ' hmmm, maybe we could eat him, ' Kevin Bass, senior in chemical engineering, said. We started sitting out on the front porch and everybody would walk by and look at him and I thought him. Matthew McGuire said it was pretty cool.

Stopped Braley and told him it was illegal to have barnyard animals in city limits, and he would have to get rid of the rooster. Ross said this wasn ' t the first time he ' d been called for a roaming rooster. Actually, Ross said. I have chased probably 10 chickens across the city in the past year. Braley researched the law and found a loophole allowing him to keep the chicken in an enclosure. Braley and his roommates built Winston a temporary cage, which they hope to make bigger someday. We are going to get some hay to put in there and we ' ll probably throw some leaves in there, McGuire said. A friend said that chickens will dig through a pile of leaves over and over and not get bored.

Catherine Verschelden, senior in finance, was hard at work studying managerial reporting for her accounting final only one hour away. To help ease the stress of having multiple finals on one day, Verschelden moved one of her finals to Stop Day. K- State ' s first Stop Day occurred on Friday, Dec. 12, directly before finals week, Dec. 15-19. No classes were allowed on Stop Day, giving students a day to use how they pleased. It gives people an extra day to study or an extra day to goof off, Verschelden said, so they ' re more productive later. Stop Day was put onto the aca- demic calendar to allow students to study more for finals, said John O ' Hara, student body president and senior in finance. Travis (Stryker) and I felt it was important to give students an extra day, he said. In the Big 12 (Conference), nearly all of the schools have a study day. It will help alleviate stress and create a better dead week. Verschelden studied in Cats ' Pause Lounge on the second floor of the K- State Student Union. Originally trying to study in Calvin Hall, Verschelden moved to the Union in hopes of finding a warmer place. It was freezing (in Calvin), she said. I thought it would be warmer over in the Union. I saw the fireplace (in Cats ' Pause) and figured it would give off some heat. Plus, it ' s quiet, and there are comfortable seats. Stop Day also lessened stress students felt over finals, Verschel- den said. According to the University Counseling Services Web site, people tended to react with more tension than needed 50 to 200 times a day. Instead of a person ' s body returning to a more natural, stress-free level, their body would remain tense and active. The tenseness resulted in difficulty concentrating on studying, excess fatigue, possibly being unable to sleep, and feeling more rattled and making more mistakes. Verschelden said the university should continue to have Stop Days to help students with their stress and studying for finals. They can definitely be enforced, she said. (University officials) haven ' t always been able to enforce dead week. This is one way to make sure students don ' t have as much to worry about. In addition to Stop Day, students had other methods of relieving their finals stress. I ' ll try to study ahead, Verschelden said. I ' ll also take study breaks and see people that I haven ' t seen too much this semester. O ' Hara said most students had positive reactions to Stop Day. I ' ve heard nothing negative about it, O ' Hara said. Students were pleased and surprised that we had it. While many students appreci- ated the extra day off, Stop Day was not put on the academic calendar for 2004-2005. Faculty said it was cutting into their time, O ' Hara said. They recognize the fact that we are one of a few Big 12 schools that don ' t do it. But they don ' t want it next year. Due to a mandate by the Board of Regents, K- State was required to be in session for 75 days each semester. Stop Day required the university to start a day earlier, and faculty did not want to lose that day from their summer, O ' Hara said. 1 ' ' Bfc ■ .■ j 52 a Student life tress relieve sITonsTbr relaxing and maximiztng study time Tense all muscles in your body for a few seconds tfien relax them oil at once.

Usually finals week is less stressful for me, said Verschelden. I try to work hard during the semester, so when finals week comes, I can coast through the week. That takes away stress— not having to worry about getting a certain grade on a final. I ' ll be happy with that ' A ' or ' B ' or ' C, ' because I worked hard during the semester.

The 26 women, who practiced each weekday, sometimes found it difficult to balance the squad, school and a social life, Ashley Friend, junior in biology, said. I think the hardest part is making sure you have enough time to be your own person, (but) it ' s definitely worth it, Friend said. It ' s just wonderful — it ' s a positive experience. Jessica Crowder also singled out time management as the most dif- ficult part of being a Classy Cat. The physical aspect is hard, but you ' re used to it, Crowder, junior in marketing, said. If you don ' t manage your time, it can catch up to you. Laine Brumley, junior in mass communi- cations, said she found practices sometimes demanding, but worth it. She said balancing her time was not difficult. It ' s all I ' ve ever known, Brumley said. It took a little adjusting right off the bat. She said it was her love of dancing that led her to tryout for the Classy Cats. I love to dance and I love the friends I ' ve made, Brumley said. It ' s a very close-knit group. Crowder agreed the best p art of being on the squad was the friends she made. I ' ve never been part of a group where everyone had gotten along and there were no cliques, she said. That ' s probably my favorite thing. Doing something she enjoyed with people who were her closest friends, was the best part of the squad, Katherine Swain, sophomore in kinesiology, said. I like being on the Classy Cats because I ' m part of another family — we all look out for each other, Swain said. Especially coming to college as a freshman, it ' s great having an older group of girls who know what they ' re doing. They just kind of take care of you and take you in. continued on page 57 Performing during halftime, Caroline Watkins, junior in psychology; Jessica Murphy, freshman in open-option; Alicia Gray, freshman in pre-health, and Collie Sexton, junior in architec- tural engineering, exhibit their oblilities at the men ' s basketball game against Texas A M, Jan. 21, at Bramloge Colliseum.

Classy Cats performed at home football and basketball games. Football is fun because of the atmosphere and how excited all the fans get, Theel said. (The dancing) is showcased better at basketball (games). In April, the Classy Cats went to Daytona Beach, Fla., and com- peted in the National Dance Alli- ance National Dance Championship.

Highlighted by the football game, Jan. 2, Tempe, Ariz., offered fans activities leading up to, and after, the game. At Wells Fargo Arena, the K- State pep rally highlighted New Year ' s Day. Attended by more than 14,000 fans, it was unofficially the largest pep rally in Division I football history. Just about the time I had you all figured out, you go and do something like this, Athletics Director Tim Weiser told fans as he began his speech. Kimber Williams, a graduate student in justice studies at Ari- zona State University, attended the pep rally in place of her mother, L. Sue Williams, assistant profes- sor of sociology at K- State. My mom wanted me to come down and take pictures for her, Williams said. This is amazing, there is nothing else like it. Lindsay Glatz, senior in mass communications, flew in with a friend from Chicago and summed up her week by doing anything K- State. I ' ve been to other bowls but this is the best atmosphere, she said. It ' s also exciting to play this team in the situation that we ' re in. As time wound down on what was the longest of the 33 Fiesta Bowls, fans clad in scarlet and gray left victorious while K- Staters walked out 53 yards short of what- could-have-been. I thought Tempe did a good job of providing an excellent and exciting atmosphere for the Fiesta Bowl, Alisha Spears, senior in elementary education, said. I still get goose bumps thinking about how many Wildcat faithful turned out for the pep rally and the game itself. The fans did a superb job of sticking behind their Wildcats in a time of crisis. Purple Nation knows that when the going gets tough the tough get going. Thousands of fans attend tfie pep rally to sfiow sup- port for tfie Wildcats. Ttie rally took place on New Year ' s Day and featured Gov. Katfileen Sebelius, President Jon Wefald and Coocfi Bill Snyder. Speak- ers offered fans entertain- ment and a cfiance to get pumped up for tfie game. Pfioto by Lindsey Bauman bowl life n 59 Standing over his canvas, James Taylor drips his blood onto a wet surface. While Taylor said he knew his blood paintings were shocking to his audiences, he said he wanted them to provoke viewers to think about the expression of the painting. Photo by Katie Lester by Lindsay Porter There were no buckets of paint or jars with paintbrushes sur- rounding James A. Taylor as he stood over five canvases in his art studio. The 20 by 20 foot room possessed only a plastic tarp pro- tecting the concrete floor as Taylor, senior in fine arts, created artwork on the canvases laid on the tarp. His medium for painting was his own blood. Taylor stood over the canvases with blood running down his arm from 3-4 inch cuts he created with a razorblade. The blood dripped off his fingertips as he splattered it around the canvases. Using Peppermint Schnapps and Mountain Dew as blood-thin- ners, Taylor continually tapped his veins to encourage blood flow. Twice during the process, Taylor washed his arm and made fresh cuts to continue painting. Although he bled for an hour, Taylor said he probably only used a few ounces of blood. I ' ve never woke up woozy, so I ' ve probably never used too much blood, Taylor said. I ' ve been more disoriented because of the alcohol, but I ' m very careful about how much I drink and what I drink. Once the painting dried, Taylor preserved it for presentation. Although my blood is free from all the diseases that are pos- sibly out there, I plastic wrap and polyurethane it to make people more comfortable, he said. Fellow fine arts senior and former roommate Blake Standard said he did not agree with Taylor ' s method of painting, but said art- ists should not care about what others ' thought. We get beyond it, Standard said. Nobody should give too big a deal about what others ' think. He does it for himself, and that ' s what we ' re supposed to be doing. Although Taylor painted alone, and out of their apartment. Standard said he knew when Taylor painted. I ' ve seen the paintings, and I ' ve lived with him and seen him the minute he got back from painting, Standard said. He ' s arms are all. . .he ' s wearing long- sleeve shirts. Taylor said he began painting with blood in high school, when he signed his name in his own blood to show support for the work. It had to do with my trust in the quality of the art, he said. Now, it ' s about what I ' m willing to give up for my art. I ' m willing to slit my wrists. The evolution from signatures to complete paintings stemmed around Taylor ' s survival of attempted suicide and depression. The first time I did a big painting with blood in it, it preceded me trying to (overdose) within a week, he said. Born and raised in Manhat- tan, Taylor said he knew there was more controversy in his work in the Midwest, but he hoped people could look past the blood and think about the meaning. I hope to get a reaction with emotion, he said. I don ' t want people to say, ' oh, this is pretty. ' Whether they agree or disagree (with the method), I don ' t care. I want people to think deeper emotionally. Taylor said what he did was small in comparison to other self- destructive artists. I ' m doing nothing compared to most self- destructive artists, he said. This is nothing extreme except tor the fact that I ' m in Manhattan in the conservative Bible Belt. Standard agreed other body artists were not like Taylor ' s art. Not many do it the way he does it, Standard said. Many of them amputated body parts or something serious like that. According to the Art Institute of Chicago, body art is a type of art that uses the human body as its medium. The institute said in body art, the body often presents the ways in which humanity as a whole is oppressed or victimized. For Taylor, dealing with depres- sion personally and through friends created his motivation. Depression has become a four- letter word, he said. People don ' t deal with it. I deal with it daily. You may think I ' m dealing with it in a way that ' s self- destruc- tive, but who are you to judge me? 60 a Student life •v-, James Taylor works on his fifth blood painting titled Uncensored Sacrifice, Taylor has been signing his artworks in blood since he was 16 and used blood as a medium since 2001. To me, it ' s painting ' he said, There might be a limited amount of paint, but to me, if it ' s on a canvas hanging on a wall it ' s a painting. The blood itself is the ultimate way for me to convey what I ' m trying to express. He said that his method of painting and similar practices were considered less extreme in coastal, metropolitian areas. Photo by Katie Lester With blood beads dripping down his arm, James A. Taylor, senior in fine arts, is ready to paint. Taylor drank alcohol to thin his blood, and used a razor blade to make small vertical incisions in his left arm. He added the blade to the painting because he wanted on element of origination. Taylor wanted to turn his painting in for a class, but was discouraged by the department faculty. He also was asked to find a new studio location to do his art because he was banned from working with his blood on campus grounds.

(The Willie head is) never supposed to leave my sight, Graham said. Photo by Nicole Donnert 62nstudent life -jI by Christy Setter Willie the Wildcat symbolized K- State and yet remained one of the best-kept secrets on campus. In addition to appearances, Willie prac- ticed for games, went to class and took tests like other students. Behind the exuberance and underneath the sports gear and giant Wildcat head was Justin Graham, senior in psychology. For three years, Graham suited up as K- State ' s masked friend. Keeping a concealed identity was not difficult, he said. Sometimes it ' s not hard to keep it secret, Graham said. After the way I dance around out there, I ' m glad nobody knows it ' s me. Cheerleaders, and others who knew Willie ' s identity, were told to keep the information confidential. At first most of my friends didn ' t know it was me, Graham said. By now though, they pretty much have it figured out — a lot of that is thanks to my mom. She ' s so proud; she talks about it all the time. Damian Hilton, cheerleading coach, said Graham ' s greatest attribute was his ability to interact well with children. I like the little kids. They always want to play with me, Graham said. Sometimes though, with the head on, I just can ' t see them because they are so small. I ' ve knocked kids over before by accident. Joann Long, student athletic trainer and sophomore in nutrition and exercise science, said she thought Graham ' s Willie was the best she ' d seen, primarily because he enjoyed it so much. He just seems to have the right personality for it, Long said. Others are personable and outgoing, but he just seems to connect really well with the fans. Hilton said Graham created a high standard for future mascots. I use Justin as an example — he is great at what he does, Hilton said. The guys know that we try to make Willie better every y ear, so it can get tough. I will definitely be looking for many of the same qualities Justin possesses in any new guys. Kelsey Spratlin, cheerleading captain and junior in life sciences, said Willie helped keep tradition alive at K- State. Nothing is better than hearing thousands of fans yelling ' K-S-U, ' Spratlin said. Those types of things wouldn ' t be possible without Willie. Disguising himself as Willie presented perks for Graham. He had a seemingly endless collection of free T-shirts, photos and news clippings collected from various events and appearances. Graham said although he enjoyed those things, they were not what he liked most about being Willie. The best part of being Willie is that I get probably 500 hugs a day, Graham said. I get more hugs than anyone I know — it ' s awesome. Graham transforms ' from student to Wildcat fc Taping his wrists while getting into costume, Justin Graham, senior in psychology, said it ' s just ; part of the outfit.

First appearing in 2000, the cannon was redesigned for the 2003 season. It was exciting to be at the gome, Frazier said. Just getting to be down on the field and down there with the players (was fun). Photo by Chris Hanewinckel U After 20 hours and numerous trial-and-error experiments, 12 members of the Cat Cannon Ckib had something to show for their hard work. The Cat Cannon idea came when the upper deck was added to KSU Stadium. WiUie had a small T-shirt cannon, but he could only shoot shirts into the lower deck, said Gregory Spaulding, associate professor of engineering technology. Being the ' more power ' kind of guys that we are, we decided to construct a T-shirt cannon that would shoot shirts into the upper deck. The second-generation Cat Cannon made its premiere at the Troy State football game in August. Daniel Mathewson, president and junior in mechanical engineering technology, and members of the club designed and built the cannon in technology labs at K- State -Salina. It ' s lighter and more user friendly, Mathewson said. It has similar strength to the first one. The cannon ' s design resembled that of a paintball gun. Composed of two air tanks and four valves, the cannon used pressurized air. With a pressure of 60 pounds-per-square-inch, the Cat Cannon shot 72 T- shirts 100 feet in the air at each home football game. The K-State-KU game was the first time I saw the Cat Cannon, Katie Moldenhauer, freshman in elementary education, said. It ' s fun to watch people try to catch the shirts and fight over them. With so much pressure, safety was a main concern for the club. In order to prevent injuries, the cannon was angled where it shot above the crowd, causing T-shirts to fall onto the fans. The cannon made appearances at other sporting events beside foot- ball games. The Cat Cannon travels around the state to a variety of events such as the State Fair, rodeos, concerts, air shows and high school events, Spaulding said. We provide goodwill and promote KSU. Since the Salina campus did not have football players, cheerleaders or band members, the Cat Cannon allowed students to participate in activities tied to the Manhattan campus. The best part about being part of the club is being able to watch the K- State games on the field and seeing how far you can launch (the cannon), Mathewson said. It ' s our tie to the games. cat cannon n 65 J 1 Wk l .l HHH A SH L n (lis Demonstrating a safety point, instructor Kenneth Barno ' d teaches students the effects of flying. As part of their learn- ing, students visited the alti- tude chamber at the Federal Aviation Administration s Civil Aeromedical Institute, One student wos writing on the paper, but when he wolked out from this room he didn ' t write anything on the paper, Walter Morsella, junior in airway science, said. It was kind of funny, but your mind gives orders to the things that you are not actually doing and that is when you need more oxygen.

The required Human Factors doss was held in the room adjacent to Barnard ' s office. Human Factors taught students aeromedical information, causes, symptoms, preven- tion and treatment of flight environment disorders like altitude effects, spatial disorientation and body head imbalance Photo by Nicole Donnert pr©-pilOTS iGOrn by Nlcole Donnert EFFECTS A practical lesson in a required course did not usually cause students to become overly euphoric. However, required courses rarely caused students to have blue fingernails, dizziness or tingling limbs, either. In Human Factors, taught by aviation professor Kenneth Barnard, students discovered how their bodies reacted to oxygen deprivation by traveling to the Federal Aviation Administration ' s Civil Aeromedical Institute in Oklahoma City. If you are flying along and, all of a sudden, you get real hot cheeks, you ought to have a red flag going and say, ' well something is wrong ' and start checking, Barnard said. The idea of the (ahitude) chamber is to put you at that state for a short period of time so that the students actually see it. Students sat in two, facing rows in a thick, metal room with win- dows that fogged like a cockpit would, during the simulation. An instructor from the institute was also in the room, walking up and down the aisle to help when necessary. It looks like a big gas tank with windows in it, Barnard said. They take a big air compressor and it runs and runs and runs and gives a real low pressure. Then they open the valve, then all the air flows out, and then that simulates being at a higher altitude. Within five minutes of being at the higher altitude, the signs of hypoxia, or lack of oxygen, became noticeable. When two or three symptoms were felt, oxygen masks were put on. Hypoxia was gradual, but once felt, action had to be taken to receive oxygen before the mind and body stopped working together. I think some people were waiting for like something shocking or something — it ' s not like that, Walter Marsella, senior in airway science, said. It was like everything was happy and was fine, and I mean you are thinking things and you are looking around, but you cannot do anything. The two -day trip to Oklahoma City taught lessons classroom lectures could not by having the students feel the effects of hypoxia on their bodies. By learning what it felt like while in a safe environment, students learned what to do and how necessary it is to react quickly when in an airplane, Barnard said. It ' s something that you take for granted; you don ' t realize it, he said. That ' s why that training is so important, to show them that there is definitely a physical effect. human factors :; 67 Pie sale raises funds for national VOinen bake to conference support aviation JL X by Nicole Donnert it gin Li •« hfiw ' 51; For the first time in K- State -Salina history, overall enrollment decreased.

WIA raised 25 percent of the funding themselves and Salina Student Governing Association supplied the rest. The national conference — designed to be an outlet for networking with companies such as American Airlines and JetBlue — included sessions, seminars, tours and scholarships. Monica Chester, senior in airway science, who had gone to the conference the past two years, said talking with the other female pilots, and seeing how they made it to the larger airlines, was what she looked forward to most. continued on page 71 68Qstudent life 1 Shaping dough to place in pie pans, Women in Avia- i Hon member Heilolo Nolo, . sophomore in aviation I management, tries to grab o handful of pie dough from fellow member Carole II Dawson, sophomore in pro- ' fessional pilot.

The non- profit organization began as a way to promote women ' s involvement in the industry. While the club traditionally had an entirely female membership, it had always been open to any student who wanted to join, Branstetter said. More guys are afraid or pushed away because of the title, Nathan Gorrell, junior in airway science, said. It ' s nothing like that. It ' s open to anyone, and I took the opportunity to join another club and organiza- tion. The Women in Aviation club, with 18 to 20 people regularly attend- ing meetings, did not see an increased membership after having an influx of male members. The addition of men kept membership even with previous totals. Not really anything has changed, Chester said. It has diversified our group. The club ' s purpose and laid-back meeting style was not altered, but for the men, participating in a female -governed group was an adjust- ment. Our campus is male dominated, and it ' s a gender role switch because we go to the meeting and it ' s female dominated, said Gorrell. I don ' t know if we are looked down upon by our peers, but I don ' t care. women in aviation d 71 an by Cassadie Lock II 11 Minutes after the plane took student to ' fly, ' Marlon Johnston, to use the simulators, thoug tiulators, though most off from runway No. 4 at New York ' s LaGuardia Airport, Central Park and the New York skyline came into view. Circling the city for a test flight, pilots Geoff Kruglik, senior in airway science, and Grant Franklin, senior in airway science, prepared for landing. The landing began smoothly, but then the brakes of the turbo prop plane malfunctioned. Instead of stopping on the runway, the plane crashed through the perimeter fence before plummet- ing into the ocean. Andrew McCaddin, senior in airway science, described this as the submarine version of the simulators. K- State -Salina had four flight simulators located in its Aviation Center. The Frasca 141s and AST- 3000s each had their own purpose, but flight simulators, in general, were used as flight training devices. Basically, flight training devices, commonly referred to as simulators, are replicas of an air- plane cockpit that use computer- derived information to allow the 72 □ student life head of the department of avia- tion, said. We use simulators to train and practice various skills such as instrument navigation and approaches, as well as crew proce- dures used while flying. K- State -Salina had two Frasca 141 simulators. The simulators, configured for single-engine air- craft and single-pilot operations, provided inputs only through the instruments, Johnston said. There were also two AST-3000 simulators. These models were for two -pilot operations and either single- or twin-engine aircraft. The AST-3000 could be configured into four types of planes — single - engine, reciprocating engine, turbo-prop and jet, Kruglik said. The AST-3000 provided visual and sound inputs as well as instru- ments. The faculty expanded the use of the AST-3000 simulators in two areas of curriculum — crew resource management and the University Transportation Pro- gram — for advanced pilots. Students in the Aviation Main- tenance program also had a chance use came from students in the professional pilot program. The professional pilot students use the simulators to develop and polish their flight skills, Johnston said, while the aviation maintenance students have an opportunity to practice their procedures for engine runs and taxiing airplanes. The simulators allowed the pro- fessor to control everything. Any- thing that could possibly go wrong while flying — from engine failures to crashing — could be simulated. They are very realistic, Robbie Sanders, senior in airway science, said. The simulators are good for overall procedures. McCaddin said the simulators allowed students to see mistakes and fix them. The simulators are an out- standing tool to supplement the flight training accomplished in the department ' s aircraft, Johnston said. They are one more indicator of the quality of our program and one of the natural tools for a top national program. cott Nichols makes an adjustment to the simulator as Kelly Stucky sneaks a look back at the computer. The AST-3000B simulator was on upgrade of an older version that had been inop- erative for many years. The addition of a visual display and four aircraft options moke the simulator a very useful training tool for K-StateSalina pilots, if you can fly the sim, Andrew McCaddin, senior in airway science, said, you can fly a plane.

The beads were melted and formed into PowerCat key chains using the injec- tion-molding machine. The machine has been at the co lege since 1999 when Fergu- son Production of McPherson donated it. I enjoy designing (different molds), Homan said. That ' s the creative part. You can sit down and do about anything. Photo by Justin Poe 74 3 Student life 1 ' by Lindsay Porter machine produces . , . promotional purple injection pi oducts molded key chains lllllllllllllll - • I n ' ' . Housed in the Technology Center, an injection -molding machine produced purple to promote the College of Technology and Aviation and K- State with purple key chains and tokens. Anything small, about that size, we can make, Paul Homan, senior in mechanical engineering technology, said. Key chains are the most practical to do because everyone needs one. The college received the machine from Ferguson Production in 1999. It was something we needed, Greg Spaulding, associate professor in engineering technology, said. We wanted to get students familiar with it. Spaulding taught Manufacturing Methods, where freshmen studied welding and manufactur- ing materials. When the students studied plastics they learned how to run the molding machine. The process to make the key chains started by melting beads of plastic in a hopper with tem- peratures from 400-430 degrees Fahrenheit. The plastic stays in the mold for 3-4 seconds to cool. Homan said the machine could produce two key chains simultaneously and close to 600 per hour. This year we ' ve probably made close to 5,000-7,000 key chains, Homan said. We ' ve probably made up to 10,000 a year. They ' re used a lot in promotional events. Spaulding said he received requests for key chains throughout the year and the machine was operated during Open House to show the production process. Homan operated the machine several times for Spaulding and said he enjoyed making a variety of designs for the key chains. Once I learned that we can make different things, it sparked a little interest, Homan said. We ' ve drawn up a few plans and learned a lot on doing that. We ' ve ironed out the process and learned from our mistakes. Now we have the knowledge to make other things. Key chains were created at a rate of more than 600 per hour, Paul Homan said. Students created designs for events including Open House, SAFECON, SafeRide and New Student Orientation. Although most designs were contracted to a local machining shop, the SAFECON design was produced with the use of rapid tooling.

Taylor performed his unique blend of juggling and comedy as part of Wildcat Welcome Week, Aug 18-29. During the show Taylor jug- gled a large assortment of objects including 10-pound shot puts, sharp knives and breast implants, while interspersing comedy between juggling sets. Brian Youngers, junior in airway science, said the best part was when Taylor rode a unicycle and juggled two knives and an apple, while eating the apple. Youngers said he thought the comedy was funny but wished the show was longer. At one point, Taylor asked for volunteers and Lynsey Burnett found herself on stage. Burnett, senior in airway sci- ence, stood facing the audience with a carrot in her mouth, while Taylor proved the knives he was using were razor sharp by quickly slicing the carrot into small pieces. I was afraid, Burnett said. I was shaking real bad. I didn ' t close my eyes, not at first. From where she was stand- ing, Burnett had a good view of entertainment. He was chopping it into little slivers, she said. I think one went into my eye. Taylor ' s signature -juggling trick — three 15-pound, running chainsaws — was one his most dangerous of the performance. It ' s the trick people want to see, Taylor said. People want to see something stupid. After adding some extra cloth- ing for his safety, Taylor intention- ally threw one of his chainsaws at the audience, and although it was attached to an unseen bungee cord, Taylor still managed to elicit a reaction. As he prepared to juggle the chainsaws, Taylor told the audi- ence about his experience juggling the dangerous devices. I ' ve never hurt anybody. . .past the third row, he said. In addition to juggling, Taylor has appeared in numerous televi- sion commercials, shows and Hollywood movies. His Web site, madchadtaylor.com, had a list of his appearances along with other information about Taylor and his comedy and juggling shows. Taylor, who had been juggling objects almost 20 years and using chainsaws for 10 years, said he juggles because he enjoys it. My favorite part (of the work) is that one hour when I ' m on stage in front of the audience, he said. The show in Salina was free. Taylor said the work, props and practice behind the scenes was what audiences paid for. He said everyone should have a job they love doing. Find something enjoyable and never work a day your life, Taylor said. 76 a student life Comedian and juggler Mad (. had Tayloi juggles running choinscws - his signature act.

Students at tfie College of Technology and Avia- tion had a new place to access the Internet with the addition of a Cyber Cafe with 10 computers. Volcek said he used the computers about once a week since his residence hall room was nearby. Photo by Justin Poe Eating dinner in the cafete- ria of the College Center, Christopher Lows, junior in airway science, converses with Adorn Volcek and Brian Youngers, junior in airway science. Students like to sit longer in the cafeteria rather than the dorms, because of the new flat screen televisions, Laws, Harbin Hall resi- dent ossistant, said. Photo by Justin Poe 78 o student life i The College Center cafeteria had a few new amenities for the school year. Ten computers and two, 50-inch, plasma-screen televisions were installed to create the Cyber Cafe. Christopher Laws, junior in airway science, said the computers received the most use around lunchtime. The main traffic in the College Center came from students who lived in the residence halls, so they did not usually lounge around in the Cyber Cafe, Adam Volcek, junior in airway science, said. I think it ' s a benefit, but not a great benefit, Laws said. It is con- venient most of the while, but most people live here, so they go back to their room to use their own computer. However, both Laws and Volcek agreed it was useful to have televi- sions in the cafeteria. It seems like people stay a little longer when they eat, Laws said. There is more of a community over here where people stay and talk. Volcek said cafeteria users had a regular schedule for the televisions, which included a full -cable package, where students watched The Simpsons and King of the Hill during dinner and usually Comedy Central throughout the day. Peter Morris, director of fiscal affairs, said the Cyber Cafe was cre- ated to give students a place to check e-mail and watch the news. We ' ve tried to make it into a dedicated Cyber Cafe, but we don ' t have the floor space for a separate area, Morris said. There is usually someone down there (in) it. Volcek said students appreciated the idea of computers to check e-mail, but felt discouraged because the computers could not run pro- grams such as InstantMessenger. Laws said a different environment might encourage more students to use the computers. If they had a better quality of computer or a different set up, more people might use them, he said. If they would personalize it more. Right now, it ' s just a computer and a desk. There ' s no environment; no atmosphere. cyber cafe d 79 outbrea by Thao Le and Lindsay Porter viras In January, the College of Veterinary Medicine and Sandia National Laboratories announced that a decontamination chemical, DF-200, was an effective foam chemical agent in killing the virus that caused Severe Acute Respira- tory Syndrome. In less than six months of research and studies, Dr. Sanjay Kapil, associate professor of pathobiology and diagnostic med- icine; Cecelia Williams, gradu- ate student in pathobiology and representative of Sandia National Laboratories; and K- State students developed the formula, which was highly effective at decontaminat- ing SARS, Kapil said. SARS first appeared in south- ern China, Nov. 2002. In August 2003, K- State ' s College of Vet- erinary Medicine was selected by Sandia National Laboratories to conduct research on SARS. Not only did SNL collaborate with K- State in the research, but contracted K- State as the only facility in the nation to work on the project. K- State ' s selction came because of the school ' s high reputation in studying Bovine coronavirus over the past 20 years. KSU has developed key lab reagents that allow us to success - 80 a Student life fully conduct these decontamina- tion studies, Kapil said. Over 50 publications on K- State regard- ing the Bovine coronavirus have been published in the U.S. and Canada. Researching a SARS vaccina- tion was a confidential project, and research was led by Kapil. With efforts from Williams and more than a dozen students, K- State played a major role in the SARS study. Each student aver- aged eight hours per week in the lab contributing to the research. It ' s a challenge to try and find something that no one has ever found before, Laura Cast, junior in biology, said. It ' s like looking for a needle in a haystack when you don ' t even know where the haystack is. In addition to making scien- tific decisions in the labs, students made lifelong friends. (Kapil) is great — always busy, but always willing to stop whatever he is dong to help me on anything I have a question on, Katie Ransom, junior in fisheries and wildlife biology, said. He is a great presence to have around in the lab, not only for his knowledge and experience, but he tells great stories and always has a joke to make you smile. Sandia National Laboratories provided K- State with diagnostic testing supplies and $200,000 to fund the project. SARS belongs to the family of viruses known as corona viruses, Kapil said, This is most closely related to viruses in the anti-genic group II. As dangerous as it appeared under the microscope, the virus was equally dangerous to work with, said Williams, who was hired by SNL after she graduated. Because it ' s so hazardous working with the SARS virus, Williams said, a similar, safer animal surrogate virus, Bovine coronavirus, is used in the research instead. Feb. 2, 2004, the discovery became international news when Sandia released information to the public about the foam chemical agent. It will be very effective, Kapil said. The reason it is such big news is because they have been applying the same chemical when looking for other emerging virus projects. It was used in the Anthrax outbreaks, and the same foam will be used when studying the Avian flu on campus. Using a pipette, Laura Gast odds anitibodies to her samples, Gost worked with the College of Veterinary Medicine and Sandia National Laboratories to develop a decontaminia- tion formula for the SARS disease, which infected 8,900 people and killed 774 in 2003.

Photo by Kelly Glasscock Like any college student, Jill Caputo, senior in English, zoomed around campus to get to class. The difference was Caputo did it in her wheelchair. Caputo had a stroke at age 11 after an aneurysm. She was in a coma for 6-8 weeks and stayed in the hospital for three-and-a-half months. The stroke left Caputo almost completely paralyzed on her left side. When I first woke up, I couldn ' t do anything, she said. I had to learn how to redo everything. Thirteen years later, Caputo still suffered the effects of the stroke. Although she could walk whh the aid of a cane, she said she could not do it for very long before falling. Caputo said her current life was much different than before the stroke. One of the big differences was her relationship with friends. The people who know me now, know me as Jill who uses a wheelchair and walks with a cane, Caputo said. Caputo said while she had a cane, it was easier for her to get around in her wheelchair. 1 only use my wheelchair on campus, not my cane, she said. I walk around my apart- ment some, but my balance isn ' t very good — I fall. Caputo lived alone in a ground-floor apartment near campus. She said while she was capable of doing many things for herself, she had a helper each morning from Alpha Zi Delta sorority, where she was an alumna. I can do it, but it takes a really long time, so (helpers) just make sure everything ' s going good, Caputo said. Four women from the sorority took turns helping Caputo get dressed in the morning. One of the helpers, Jessica Peterson, senior in marketing and inter- national business, said she believed Caputo was strong-willed. I think that she ' s a very determined person, Peterson said. She knows what she wants and goes after it. She ' s just amazing, in all hon- esty. She ' s never let things get her down — she just picks up and goes from where she is. continued on page 85 82 Q student life I I II ' i liil Caputo, senior in Eng- lish, reads a book in Hale Library while waiting for o shuttle to take her to Lafene Health Center for physical therapy.

She ' s gone through so much and dealt with so many issues and problems, Peterson said. It could show others not to let their disabili- ties rule their lives. Caputo said her biggest discouragement was not being able to drive a car. When I had my stroke, I lost my left side peripheral vision — so I can ' t drive, she said. If it ' s not within walking distance of my house, I can ' t go out. She also said getting around Manhattan was challenging because there was not an adequate transportation system to facilitate wheel- chairs. There ' s just not much transportation-wise, which is kind of a hin- drance with me, she said. Although Caputo said she became frustrated trying to do everyday things, she tried not to let it get her down. I used to cry about it a lot, Caputo said. I don ' t really think about it anymore. It ' s just a part of who I am. She also said people have treated her differently because of her dis- ability. People have lots of pre-conceived notions. But usually, as they get to know me, it goes away, Caputo said. You just have to take it for what people mean because people mean well. Caputo said while it was hard dealing with her disability, after 13 years, she has learned to accept it. There just comes a point where you have to learn to accept your disability and move on, she said.

Photo by Chris Hanewinckel Q SGQSOn tor by Kristin Day RELIGION As the season of Lent started, two religious movies charted the box office and a student group pushed awareness of Christ and his teachings. During February, posters and sidewalk- chalk advertisements announced the Empty? campaign sponsored by Campus Crusade for Christ. Allyson Davies, associate campus director for Campus Crusade, said the campaign ' s purpose was to expose students to the reality that things such as success, popularity, pleasure and status do not bring the real satisfaction people long for. All of these things fall short of bringing us true fulfillment, Davies said. We believe that the deep satisfaction and joy we all long for can only be filled by having a relationship with Christ. Brent Watson, campus director for Campus Crusade, said he hoped the campaign would challenge students to think about meaning and ful- fillment and create opportunities to present Jesus Christ as the answer to those issues. We heard reports throughout the week of students getting into con- versations about whether or not people felt fulfilled in life, Watson said. We also had a number of people attend our meeting who expressed interest in talking more about how Jesus might be the answer to the emptiness in their lives. During the same time as the advertisements of the Empty? cam- paign, The Passion of the Christ was released in theaters, Feb. 25. Father Keith Weber of St. Isidore ' s Catholic Student Center said he thought the movie was very powerful. It spoke well of the love God had for the world, Weber said. When we watch any movie about any biblical event, we need to remember there are going to be things that are not in the Bible. The movie will hopefully make us go back and read the Bible. The movie was written and directed by Mel Gibson. Davies said she was impressed he would subject his reputation and career to ridicule for the sake of educating people about biblical events. There is a lot in the movie that isn ' t in the Bible, Weber said. (There is) a lot of Mel Gibson in the movie. He adds a lot of good things. Davies said the movie had a great impact on her. I was very excited that our society would be exposed to the truth of what Christ accomplished on the cross and what he suffered on our behalf she said. Even though I had read through the Gospels many times, I still found myself shocked at the very painful and violent death He suffered for our sin. empty campaign n 87 Operation Iraqi Freedom successful by Lindsay Porter The war officially began March 20 when Coalition troops pushed into Iraq. By March 29, troops began heavily bombing Baghdad. The Coalition seized control of the city April 8 and also controlled the military airport near the city. April 11, President George W. Bush ' s administration officially announced Saddam Hussein was no longer in power. The war officially ended on May 1, but the country ' s reconstruction would take years. Officials reported 3,758 people died during the war, 176 from the Coalition forces. Resignations by Lindsay Porter Four K- State and Manhattan officials announced their resignations or retirements in May and June. Barb Robel, coordinator of Greek Affairs, retired in May. Angle Goodson replaced her. After a 16 -year term as the university ' s chief academic officer. Provost James Coffman announced he would leave his position July 2004. Coffman accepted a position to return to the College of Veterinary Medicine. On Feb. 20, M. Duane Nellis was announced as Coffman ' s replacement. Dean of the College of Agriculture Marc Johnson resigned, May 13, after 18 years at K- State. Johnson took over as vice provost for agriculture extension as dean of agriculture sciences at Colorado State University, Aug. 1.

Aggieville fire leaves mark by Lindsay Porter May 16, the Friday morning of graduation weekend, a fire destroyed two buildings and damaged two others in Aggieville. Firefighters were called to Aggie Station and Krystallo ' s at 7:17 a.m., and the fire was under control by noon but was not completely put out until Saturday. Porter ' s and Varney ' s Book Store suffered smoke damage. Fire Chief Jim Waudziak said the fire started because of an accidental short circuit wiring in Aggie Station ' s main electrical feed service and breaker panels. More than 60 firefighters were at the scene to extinguish the blaze. The Riley County Appraiser ' s Office and Riley County Historical Museum reported the appraised value ot the two buildings was $244,240. The upside is, Krystallo ' s is planning to come back, Cheryl Sieben, director of Aggieville Business Association, said, and I ' m sure they ' ll fill that space in Aggie Station soon. Varney ' s reported more than $1 million in building and merchandise damage. Manager Jim Levin said a big part of the damage stemmed from the large inventory of clothing. The store sold most of the damaged clothing at 40 percent off. After the two-day sale during graduation weekend, the store closed for three days to clean air filters and carpets. Salina professor dies elDs in effect After a brief illness, Don Buchwald, professor of engineering technology, died March 25. Buchwald worked at K- State -Salina since 1966, the year before the college opened. David Delker, head of the Department of Engineering Technology, said Buchwald added a sense of history and tradition to the campus since he was one of the first faculty members hired. Buchwald also had many posi- tions in student and professional organizations. Electronic IDs replaced student access names and passwords for the computing system, March 31. Rebecca Gould, director of information technology assistance center, said the new elD system provided more convenience with only one ID and password to remember. The trade off was security. Harvard Townsend, director of computer and network ser- vices, said if someone found a student ' s password, they would have access to all the student ' s accounts. Ft. Riley soldier dies The first Fort Riley soldier was killed in combat in a hostile fire incident in Iraq, April 1. Sgt. Jacob Lee Butler, of Wellsville, Kan., was assigned to Headquarters Company, 1st Battalion, 41st Infantry Regiment.

The men were captive for three weeks until U.S. Marines rescued them April 13, but Lynch was found in a hospital April 1. The bodies of nine soldiers were found during the rescue. Lynch suffered rape, a head wound, spinal injury and fractures to her right arm, both legs and her right foot and ankle. She left Iraq April 3, and spent more than three months recuperating at Waher Reed Army Medical Center in Washington, D.C., and returned to Palestine, W. Va., Aug. 19.

Their remains washed on the San Francisco Bay shore two miles from where Peterson said he was fishing on Dec. 24, 2002 when she vanished. Peterson pleaded innocent to the charges. The trial began February 2004. SARS outbreak Increased outbreaks of the Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome virus resulted in China ' s Communist Party removing both the health minister and Beijing ' s mayor from office, April 20.

Fifty million people in the L ' nited States experienced the country ' s largest power outage. New York City was almost completely dark as people scrambled to buy batteries and candles. Along with cities in Connecticut, Vermont and Ne v lersey, outages were also reported in Erie, Penn.; Ottawa, and Niagara Falls, in both New York and Ontario During the blackout, cell phones stopped working, drinking-water pumps stopped, and airports without power .lused a jam of 400 flights in the air and on the ground. Although the cause of the power failure was unknown, some suggested an antiquated electrical grid was the source of the problem. After 29 hours, power had been restored in some areas. Detroit was the last metropolitan area left in the dark, but, on Aug. 16, the city regained power. In addition to seeking the cause, officials looked into finding a solution for any future outages. Poyntz closes near high school by Lindsey Thorpe Construction on Poyntz Avenue between 17th Street and Sunset Avenue began June 1. Ineffective gutters and the steep grade of the street caused improper drainage, which forced the city to remove the entire roadway to fix the prob- lem, Jeff Hancock, city engineer, said. The area previously required patches and asphalt over- lays from city road crews to keep the road serviceable. The sub -grade, on which the street was based, failed and caused significant erosion on the surface and its base. Hancock said the existing pavement was irreparable. Crews installed a drainable base that would continue to sup- port the roadway while allowing water from springs to drain. Construction was completed in mid-November. ■jITarget opens doors out vest f Target opened for business, July 27.

Although the center moved off campus, the ser ' ices provided, staff and hours of operation remained the same, Lannie Zweimiller, director of Lafene, said. Benefits of the new location included parking close to the entrance and more manageable workspace. Instead of three floors in the old build- J ing, the new location provided enough operational space for Lafene to function on one floor. K- State ' s SafeRide program debuted Aug. 21. The program was implemented as an alter- native way for students and their friends to get home after drinking. To use the program, students called the service and provided their name, location and destination, and presented a K- State student ID. SafeRide operated from 11:00 p.m. to 3:00 a.m. on Thursdays through Saturdays. Students and professors had a rare opportunity to look at Mars, Aug. 27. Mars was at the closest point to Earth in 60,000 years, Michael O ' Shea, professor of physics, said. Mars was exceptionally close because of its elliptical orbit. The planet appeared bright red, and its sphere could be seen by the naked eye. news □ 91 ew currency The Federal Reserve System introduced a redesigned $20 bill in October. The bill had peach and blue tints, instead of the common green and black. It was the most secure U.S. currency to date by making counterfeit- ing more difficult, because of a watermark, security thread and color shifting ink. The new $20 bills circulated with the old-style bills until the older ones were pulled due to wear and tear. Ferry runs into pier Ten people were killed and 34 injured after a ferry crashed into a pier at Staten Island in New York, Oct. 15. The crash left twisted steel and other debris on the main deck of the ferry as pillars tore into its side. Passengers sustained injuries such as amputations, hypo- thermia and lacerations. The captain, who attempted suicide after the accident, was one of those critically injured in the accident. Snipers convicted The trial for sniper suspect John Muhammad began Oct. 20, in Virginia Beach, Virginia. Muhammad was charged with two counts of capital murder, and one count each of con- spiracy and use of a firearm to commit a felony during the sniper shootings.

The following students were recognized as Distinguished Military Graduates from the Army ROTC program: lason DaVee, senior in sociology; Robert Garven, senior in political science; Micah Rue, senior in management; Chad Hines, senior in mechanical engineering; Mark Peer, senior in secondary education; lared Barnhart, senior in civil engi- neering; Michael Sykes, senior in mass communications, and Courtney Townsend, senior in elementary education. The honor was a national distinction to recognize the best cadets in the nation, Lt. Col. Arthur DeGroat, head of the military science department, said. DeGroat said the board looks at academic standing, service contribution to the university and the community, in addition to physical fitness and performance ranking in all army and military training. It was the first time the university had eight cadets selected for the honor — 44 percent of the graduating class. Through that distinction, K- State topped the eight-state region, which includes 20 colleges and universities that have the Army ROTC programs. un oltGon ifliRi iispede ia iillurfs , iration nJlabti ledepar I andui Justin Raybern, sophomore in secondary education, and Layne SfaffoiLJ, senior in secondary education, sort through tickets Dec. 2 at Bramlage Coliseum for the Dr. Pepper Big 1 2 Championship game.

Even after her death, she continued to benefit K- State. She left an additional $2.2 million from her estate to the university — half went to the Terry C. lohnson Center for Basic Cancer Research and the other half was given to Fiedler Hall. The final con- tribution, received in November, made the Fiedler family the largest donors in K- State history. Fort Riley troops stationed in Iraq were recognized from as far away as Washington. The efforts of one woman, Ruth Ann Young of Kirkland, Wash., made it all possible in November. Young organized a group to create 1,000 packages to send overseas. The group ended up collecting material for over 6,000 packages. With involvement from the whole town of Kirkland, Young said she felt this was a small gift for all the protection they offer citizens. While delivering newspapers on his evening route, Manhattan resident Kendal Jamal McBride, 10, was chased by a dog and climbed into an unoccupied semi-truck for safety.

The plan targeted additional resources where they were most needed — teachers and early- education programs, which included all-day kindergarten and at-risk students. The plan also invested $10 million in Smart Start programs. Sebelius said more needed to be done to sustain higher- learning institutions. Due to difficult financial times, Sebelius said a promise made to colleges and universities to provide funding to retain key faculty members and mini- mize the need for tuition increases had not been met.

OV by Jaci Boydston Classical music took a backseat, Sept. 16, when the K-State Orchestra welcomed electric violinist Doug Cameron to town for a pops concert. Cameron, who spent six days in Manhattan, rehearsed with the orchestra, visited area schools, taught classes and gave a lecture. He even went to a football game. IVe really had a chance to settle in, Cameron said. It ' s a real slice of Americana. Cameron contacted David Littrell, orchestra director and distin- guished professor of music, one year before the concert to begin plan- ning the event, which was a first for both Cameron and the university. You can ' t imagine how many details are involved in something like this, Littrell said. This is hot stuff. It ' s one of the most exciting concerts I ' ve ever been involved in. The pops concert involved a variety of musical styles and portions of it were improvised. The concert was, in general, more of an improvisational concert, Sonder Smith, concertmaster and senior in biology, said. (Cameron) would be playing a solo and improvising it on the spot, and we would have to follow him. Smith said Cameron further lent his artistic nature to the concert by milling through the audience to play directly to people, and wore a silver sequined jacket for a portion of the concert. He was awesome, Smith said. He was very much a showman. Smith said she was excited to perform with Cameron, especially when she performed a solo on his electric violin, during The Devil Went Down to Georgia. I was pretty nervous at first, but then it was just fun, Smith said. (Music) is what I do for fun; it ' s what I do to relax. Whenever I get to be in front of an audience, it ' s a pleasure. Cameron said part of the reason he wanted to come to K- State was to make more people feel like Smith did. I think there is a certain spirituality in music that takes you to another level, Cameron said. I look at my fingers sometimes, and it ' s like someone else is working them. It ' s indescribable. I hope to show young people what that feeling is all about. Cameron said he experienced more in Manhattan than just interact- ing with young musicians. I ' ve really enjoyed my time in Kansas, Cameron said. People shouldn ' t take for granted what they have in this community. Physically, it ' s beautiful and people are kind.

After graduating from Emporia State University with a bachelor ' s degree in psychology and earning her master ' s degree in counseling from East Texas State University, Zschoche went to the University of Kansas. I started to apply to Ameri- can studies programs because I was interested in a lot of things and, since it was interdisciplin- ary, I figured you could actually get a doctorate and never declare a major, Zschoche, chair of the history department, said. They made you take some history courses as part of the curriculum at the University of Kansas where I entered the program. I hated history, — just despised it, she said. I ' d taken some as a freshman and hadn ' t done particularly well, hadn ' t stayed awake most of the time and I ' d hated it in high school and this was a revelation for me. This was social history and it was just a wondrous thing, and, so, I became a convert to history, actually. Zschoche joined the K- State faculty after graduating from KU with a master ' s in philosophy and a doctorate in American studies. I taught in a temporary posi- tion for the department (in) ' 83- ' 84 and got this position, a perma- nent position, the following year, Zschoche said. So it ' s actually the 20th anniversary of my affiliation with this department. After hearing of the full-time opening at K- State in her field of study, Zschoche almost did not take the job. I was living in Manhattan while I went to school at KU, she said. The summer I finished my dissertation and defended it and graduated, there was a position open in this department. It was such a ridiculous notion that I could apply for a job in the town in which I was living, and actually get it, that I almost didn ' t apply for it. Zschoche said K- State was a good fit for her because she said she could relate to students, being from Kansas herself. I feel like I understand the students, she said. Midwestern students are kind of different. They tend not to brag about them- selves and there ' s some wonderful students out there. In addition to teaching and being department chair, Zschoche was a department adviser. Adam Buehler, junior in his- tory, had Zschoche as an adviser and also took one of her classes. I think she is probably one of the best teachers I ' ve had since I ' ve been here, Buehler said. She is good at making you see people in history as people — like you were actually there. Buehler agreed Zschoche was a good academic adviser. You know she ' s really, really serious about helping you out, but she ' s got a good sense of humor, Buehler said. She makes it fun. Zschoche said she enjoyed interacting with students and advising them during college. You get to see kids start as freshmen and watch them graduate, which is a really great pleasure, she said. In addition to that, just because I ' m in the office now, as the chair of the depart- ment, I see lots of students for all kinds of different reasons so that interaction is very positive for me. Even when they ' re bringing me their troubles, I like to talk to students a lot. Jack Holl, professor of history, joined the department in 1989 and has worked with Zschoche since. She is an outstanding col- league, Holl said. She ' s got unusual vision and great interper- sonal skills. She ' s a fine leader of the department. Zschoche said her colleagues have been her mentors and the department faculty feh like family. Everybody hangs together and works together — this department is really wonderful about working together, she said. These are wonderful people to work with, they really are — it ' s just terrific. Awarded with the Amoco Foundation Award for Excellence in Undergraduate Teaching, in 1987, and the Presidential Award for Teaching Excellence, in 1999, Zschoche said she was grateful. I been fortunate enough to win a couple of awards, she said. If you really, really, really love to teach, and I really, really, really love to teach, it ' s such a huge honor. sue zschoche 103 by Jennifer Newben - Architecture students used a wide range of tools — every- thing from mechanical pencils and scales to extra knives. Students had to pur- chase their own supplies. Photo by Drew Rose The Department of Archi- tecture faculty expected detail, professionalism and time from their students, Clint Hibbs, senior in architecture, said. With this, they emphasize professionalism, so we ' re required to have our act together, Hibbs said. There are size requirements, requirements for your presenta- tion and you have to show the process of your development ideas — ideas that are coherent. Architecture students delved into every aspect, Breanne Spar- row, junior in architecture, said. For Hibbs, creating a model involved reading, researching and understanding all angles of the project. Then he sketched a concept and precisely measured each piece of the model during the construction phase. A final pre- sentation concluded the tedious process, Hibbs said. Anything worth doing is worth doing right, he said. I couldn ' t do it any other way. Time required for projects often interfered with personal, family and sleep time, Hibbs said. (It ' s most difficult) to keep going, in the middle of the night when you ' re tired, Sparrow said. You have to balance (your time). Study models could take a few hours to complete, while the final model could take days. Sheila Wolf, assistant professor, said. It ' s easy for the teachers to visualize your ideas, Nicholas E. Robinson, junior in architecture, said. They can ' t see inside your head. It gives them a sense of what you ' re trying to accomplish. Studio required each student to work four hours, three days a week. Students typically worked two to three hours outside of class, which translated to around 40 hours a week, Hibbs said. The demands put on us exceed what should be, Sparrow said. People have died because of no sleep, so it ' s a concern among universities. When students built models, they bought materials with their own money. A project ' s cost depended on size and detail requirements, Robinson said. His costs ranged from $90, for a pavil- ion for the largest ball of twine, to $271, for a Wildcat Winery. The better a project looks, the more expensive, Sparrow said, which means a better grade. Model-making was just a piece of the entire design process. Wolf said. An understanding of the entire design process helped students build a good foundation in architecture. Your project can take any form and make it into something you think is beautiful, Sparrow said. It ' s exciting to be able to do what you want to. A.Q.

Photo by Jeanel Drake !f ' W: :¥? r Yf Jl search for the TRUlH by Traci Rainbolt The Pulitzer Prize and Tony award-winning play Proof, a story about family, trust and mathematics, opened the theatrical season at Nichols Theatre. It seemed to be a really good project to open the season with, said Cathy Anderson, director of Proof and associate professor in speech communication, theatre and dance, both for the actors and stage design. The play told the story of two sisters, Catherine and Claire, who came together after the death of their father, Robert — a well-known and mentally ill mathematician played by Matthew McCann, sopho- more in theatre. Hal, Robert ' s student, went to Catherine ' s home, hoping to find one last genius discovery in Robert ' s work. Joseph Clark, senior in theater, played Hal. The challenge in playing Hal was getting out of my own head and into Hal ' s, Clark said. I thought it was helpful to hang out at the math buildings and see how they acted, thought and how their attitudes were. The guys in the math- ematics building have an attitude, portraying that ' I ' m better than you, ' but not in a bad way, just because they know what they ' re doing. Clark said he based his depiction of Hal partially on what he saw in the mathematics buildings. I wanted Hal to have that sense of ' I ' m better than you, ' he said. I think Hal was somewhat devastated when he finds out that he ' s not better than Catherine is in math- ematics. The play centered on a mathematical proof found and the question of who discovered it: Catherine or her father. The end of the play determined who made the discov- ery, but the core of the play was not about math, Anderson said. At the heart of the play, it is about family, people and trusting your self and other people, Anderson said. It is a lot about faith, too. It is intellectually challenging, but emotionally interesting, because it holds situations in which we can all identify. In the play Proof, Adn- enee Bradley portrays Cath- erine, one of two sisters who reunite after the death of their mentally-ill father.

In addition to describing his experiences taking pictures all over the world for National Geographic Magazine, Richardson detailed the years he spent documenting daily life in the small town of Cuba, Kan. His experience in Cuba taught him about community journalism and the assump- tions people have made about it. I suppose the fact that we are here speaking about community journalism belies an underlying sentiment that we somehow believe community journalism is second- hand journalism — that the real journalism is going on someplace more important, Richardson said. We also take it that community is a lower level of interest than cities and the grand things that happen in other places. Let us not put community into this convenient cubbyhole of less importance. This is the foundation of where we live, why we live and what we can do. Richardson said his definition of a community included any group of people who interact meaningfully, whether or not they were members of the same small town. He provided examples of communities he would have liked to photograph, including the 1927 New York Yankees, Nazi Germany and the 50,000 Barley Davidson riders of Sturgis, S.D. continued on page 110 1 08 □ academics Chinese citizens bicycle through a street lined with long trees in Khota, China. Along with describing his experiences as a freelance photographer for National Geographic Magazine, Ji[ll RirhnrdM ' .n showed photographs he took of dif- ferent communities in China, Scotland, Utah and Cuba, Kan. If I understand what goes on in Cuba, Kan., I can understand what goes on almost anywhere in the world, Richardson said. Photo by Jim Richardson Photojournalisl Jim Rich- ardson shows his work for National Geographic Magazine at the fourth annual Huck Boyd Lecture in Community Media, in Forum Hall. Richardson said he took what he learned from photographing in Cuba, Kan-, and applied it to com- munities he photographed all over the world. He was a photographer for A Day in the Life of America, China, Ireland, Italy, Spain, and the Soviet Union.

You need to find that one photo that sets yourself apart, hlanewinckel said. Photo by Jeanel Drake PICTURES continued from page 108 It is not the infrastructure that makes the community, it is the people, Jim Richardson said. You can go to a shopping mall, and you ' ll see all kinds of people doing all kinds of things, but there may not be one iota of community happening. And, yet, you may encounter a group of people whose only connection is through the Web who have formed a real community. Peter Goering, instructor of journalism and mass communications, encouraged his students to attend Richardson ' s lecture in Forum Hall. I thought it would be entertaining and enlightening, especially for students studying journalism, Goering said. He ' s a photojournalist. He tells stories with pictures and does it very well. Although not a student of Goering ' s, Chris- topher Hanewinckel, freshman in journalism and mass communications, attended Goering ' s lecture because of his interest in photography and his work for Student Publications Inc. He also had Richardson critique his photography portfolio. I was interested in meeting a National Geographic photographer because that ' s some- thing I might want to do in the future, Hanewinckel said. He looked at a lot of my high school stuff. He said I need to take more pictures that tell stories. Goering said Richardson ' s lecture was valuable for photographers and journalism students. I think Jim made a good point, Goering said. I grew up in a small town. A lot of people tend to turn their noses up at small-town journal- ism, but I ' m a big fan of small-town journalism.

Each month during fall, the department hosted an event to give faculty and students a chance to interact and socialize. The tailgate worked out really well, Brian Niehoff, management department head, said. I felt that a tailgate in October would be very appropriate with football season in full swing. Niehoff owned season tickets since Bill Snyder ' s first year at K- State. He said he remembered times when there were no tailgates or parties. Niehoff said that there was little reason to be excited about games. Other schools I had attended always had great tailgate traditions, so at first I was a little shocked at the lack of pre-game atmosphere, Nie- hoff said. Watching the growth of the ' party atmosphere ' before a game has been enjoyable. Many alumni come back to tailgate and it makes for a great get-together, refreshments and a good atmosphere for members of the management department to enjoy, as well as anyone else who had time to join them. The tailgate and other department- sponsored events were times for students, staff and faculty to get together and enjoy each other ' s com- pany in a different environment. It also served as a reward for the work put forth by the faculty and students, Donita Whitney-Bammerlin said. We wanted a big turnout, so the tailgate was open to all who could come, Whitney-Bammerlin, academic program coordinator, said. Unfortunately, there wasn ' t as big of a turn-out as we would have liked. Friends and family of tfie manogment department join tfie tailgate, Oct. 18.

We had all been talking all week about going, Stacy Stem- mons, senior in architecture, said. It ' s what we were ail excited to go to.

Phofo by Nicole Donnert boring, because he will always tie other things in. The lecture was part of the College of Architecture, Planning and Design ' s centennial sympo- sium. It was a great speech because (Charney) really gets into his stuff, Stemmons said. Instead of doing it all on Frank Lloyd Wright, he brought us through with the other characters. It was really cool how he told the story. Charney detailed the story of Frank Lloyd Wright ' s visit to K- State in 1952 and how Wright was directly connected to Man- hattan through his apprentice, Edgar Tafel, a Manhattan resident. Mark Bacon, senior in archi- tecture, said he enjoyed learning more about Wright and his con- nection to K- State. Frank Lloyd Wright is this mysterious figure — this self-pro- claimed world ' s greatest architect — and a lot of people have an interest in who he is, Bacon said. I thought it was interesting that there was a parallel between Frank Lloyd Wright and the town of Manhattan. He also orated the historical context of Wright ' s visit, including the campus-wide controversy over the construction of the K- State Student Union that many archi- tecture students spoke out against. It really got me excited to see how the students got involved in their department (back then), Tom Milavec, junior in architec- ture, said. It was very moving. There were a lot of people talk- ing about (the speech) for days afterwards. Around the time of Wright ' s visit, architecture students were voicing their opposition to plans for the new Union. Milavec said he was unhappy to learn architecture students and faculty were not consulted when plans were drawn. I didn ' t really know that our voice wasn ' t heard on a university level, Milavec said. I was under the impression that the university would come to the architecture department before building a new building. It made my peers and me angry at that fact. To avoid similar controversies, Milavec said more communica- tion between the university and the college would be beneficial. I think we should be con- sulted — not just the students, but definitely the faculty, Milavec said. It ' s kind of a shame that the university doesn ' t come to these professionals to seek their advice. n4Dacademics   ■■; . 4k. ...i-r ■I ' i r .

Information distributed by the administration about the five-year strategy stated increases were necessary to supplement a decrease in state financial support and push K- State to Top -10 Land Grant Univer- sity status. Students were informed of the tuition increase and benefits by articles quoting Student Governing Association officers and colorful posters distributed throughout campus buildings. Roxann Corcoran, senior in anthropology, said she knew about Need-Based Tuition Reductions $2,608,000 Tuition reductions were offered for undergroduate students wfio demonstrated financial need through traditional student financial aid packaging process. Targeted Excellence A task force identified mission-related programmatic areas that could become more prominent with the in- fusion of additional resources. Funds were available on a one-time basis in fiscal year 2004 to increase flexibility centrally and at the college level. Base Budget Inflationary Increase $1,765,000 Funds were set aside to address the cost of living in- creases for FY 2004 and to help offset the impact of unfounded budget obligations. Departmental OOE K-State ' s non-salary budget was historically funded at a very low level relative to any reasonable bench- mark. Funds provided a base budget OOE increase of approximately 3.5 percent. Information Technology Infrastructure $863,000 The project, called the Integrated Information Initia- tive, involved replacement of legacy administrative systems such as the student information system and the central accounting system, as well as a complete overhaul of the information technology systems. The five-year project implemented a seamless state-of- the-art information structure for academic, adminis- trative and research functions. Library Acquisitions and Operations $663,500 Recent budget reductions, unfunded mandates and large inflationary increases for periodicals created extreme pressure on the University ' s library. Funds protected the library ' s purchasing power against inflation and provided minimal increases for other basic operating support. 116Dacademics Minimum Wage Increase for Student Hourly Employees It was difficult for departments to hire students be- cause many local employers paid higher wages. Funds increased the minimum wage for students from $5.15 per hour to $5.75 per hour. Classroom Improvements $400,000 Funds allowed the acceleration of classroom improve- ment program by providing money to purchase addi- tional instructional technology or replace existing out- dated technology and to replace and repair desks, chairs and other classroom furniture. Increase Salaries for Budgeted General Use Graduate Assistant Positions $390,000 Funds increased salaries for all budgeted general use graduate teaching assistants, graduate research assis- tants and graduate assistants positions by 7.5 percent. Student Readership Program $150,000 The Student Readership Program was a subscription provided through University Library that provided two national, one regional and one local newspaper at no cost to students wish to participate. Academic Advising for Arts and Sciences and Business Administration $120,000 Funds provided salaries and benefits for two academ- ic advisers for the College of Arts and Science— one for students enrolled i n the open-option and one for pre-health programs. One adviser position was pro- vided for the College of Business Administration. Diversity Programming $100,000 Funds supported a variety of programs designed to promote on awareness of the importance of diver- sity. Programming helped the university community become more aware of different ethnicities, back- grounds and cultures. Developing Scholars Program $75,000 The Developing Scholars Program matched under- graduate students with faculty who mentor them and include them in their research in meaningful ways. Educational Opportunity Fund $75,000 Funds provided additional support to traditionally under-funded student programs. Global Education Initiative $70,000 Funds provided assistance to students who studied abroad, provided transportation to and from Kansas City International Airport for international students, and provided salary and fringe benefits for a graduate assistant in the Office of International Programs. Freshman Orientation Program So 0,000 Funds benefit Cats ' Camp-a three-day, two-night extension of orientation for new students. The series of seminars, forums and group activities was hosted by students, alumni and faculty to introduce new stu- dents to K-State traditions and campus policies. University-wide Tutorial Service $60,000 Funds supported additional tutoring positions at the Tutor- ing Center. The additional funding provided more tutors and expanded the areas in which tutoring was offered. Internship Director for Career and Employment Services $50,000 The main responsibility of the new position was to assist students by conducting resume and cover letter critiques, outline job search strategies and provide guidance regard- ing application procedures and University Recognition.

I tried to figure out the graphs (in the Union), she said, but I don ' t think they explained the categories very well. The posters featured a pie chart of the student enhancements that designated where, and in what increments, funding was distributed. The posters briefly described each funding category. Sam Meier, senior in computer engineering and SGA academic affairs committee member, said the chart might be cryptic if students were not aware of higher education issues at the state level.

Tuition rates for lower-division undergraduate courses sfiould be at the mid-level national rankings by 2006. Tuition rates for upper division undergraduate courses should be higher than lower division courses. Tuition rates at K-Stote-Salina should equal Manhattan campus rates by 2004. Veterinary Medicine students should implement a totally linear tuition structure. Need-based tuition reductions should be provided to ensure continuation of the traditional enrollment pattern. m I ncreases continued from page 117 Corcoran agreed they were beneficial to students. The increase in campus minimum wages and the diversity program- ming funds were the most immediate, visual enhancements, Meier said. Student senate and executive officers have heard back from several students in appreciation of the wage increase, he said. It was something that needed to happen to ensure those positions remain competitive. Another immediate success of the student enhancements was the Student Readership Program. Through university libraries. The Manhattan Mercury, The Topeka Capital Journal, The New York Times and USA Today were available to students, paid for by increased privilege fees. Dispensers were located in buildings across campus and two copies of each newspaper were deliv- ered daily to greek houses and residence halls. The next step on the administration ' s agenda was a tuition-rate dis- tinction between upper-level and lower-level undergraduate courses. The practicality of it makes sense, Meier said. Upper level courses are more expensive to teach because they usually need specialized faculty and special equipment. I see (the increase) as a benefit to ensure those upper-level classes are still offered. Corcoran viewed the proposal differently and said she was against additional tuition increases. It is the people who make it to the upper level who want to continue their education, she said. It is getting to be more expensive for me to take an upper-level class here than a graduate -level course at another school like (Fort) Hays.

He earned the status of Moster Certified Flight Instructor, joining nine others. I hove accom- plished the top award for all flight instructors, Gross said. Photo by Katie Lester Out of 10 Master Certified Flight Instructors in Kansas, three worked at K-State-Salina. Bill Gross, professor of aviation, earned the status in the fall after much documentation. Applicants submitted a documentation package covering the areas of education, service to the aviation community, media creation and par- ticipation. Documentation required 32 continuing-education credits. I feel, since I have accomplished this, that it will give others the respect of being a professional flight instruc- tor — not just being an ordinary instructor, Gross said. Two other K-State Salina faculty members previously received the status of master certi- fied flight instructor. Bernard King, associate professor of aviation, was first. He earned his status in August 2001 and renewed it in fall 2003. Assistant professor Eric Shappee obtained MCFI status in November 2001. It was very satisfying to do something no faculty member in the university had done before, King said. It ' s a pleasure to see others accomplish the same. Out of 81,000 certified flight instructors in the United States, less than 400 had MCFI des- ignation, which is given by the National Asso- ciation of Flight Instructors and recognized by the Federal Aviation Administration. Having three master flight instructors highlights the expertise of our faculty, Marlon Johnston, aviation department head, said. It also shows how our professional pilot program is becoming one of the top degree -awarding flight programs in the country. Only one other institution has more MCFIs. The three master certified flight instructors set a high level of experi- ence for student instructors to set as a goal of their own, Johnston said. Being one of the 10 master instructors in Kansas is an accomplish- ment not many have enjoyed, Gross said. I am proud to be one of them and to be able to use it to encourage our other instructors to strive for improving their own education. i 120Qacademics flight instructor n 121 new degree gives hands-on One of the oldest athletic training programs in the country among Division I universities was a non- degree program before May 2003, Denis Medeiros, Department of Human Nutrition chairperson, said.

A bachelor ' s degree in athletic training is now required by the national accrediting body for trainers to be allowed to practice, Medeiros said. It ' s a very hot program. We get a lot of inquiries. It ' s an excellent opportunity for students with both health and To prepare for practice, Justin Rethorst, senior in food and nutrifion-exercise science, performs an ultra- sound procedure on Sean Clancy, senior baseball player.

Before the degree program, students seeking athletic training certification majored in biol- ogy, education, human nutrition or other science-based majors and completed athletic training courses, participated in an intern- ship experience and passed the national exam. Medeiros said the change allowed students to graduate with an athletic training degree, take the national exam and immedi- ately begin practicing. During its first semester, 21 students declared the major. Senior Lindsey Goodman was a kinesiology major, but decided to dual major when the athletic training program was accredited. A lot of students who were already in the (kinesiology) pro- gram are doing both, she said, but new people are just doing athletic training. Before students were admitted to the professional program, they completed one year of observation in the training room. Observers compiled a notebook filled with policies and procedures, injury records, emergency action plans and other aspects of the training program. Observers also watched and learned from student trainers while they attended athletes. I watch and try to learn and get to know the trainers, students and staff, Amy Van Horn, fresh- by Lindsay Porter man in secondary education, said. I ask questions and help if they need it. Observers also practiced taping one another and completed laundry and paperwork for the training room. One component of the program was on-campus intern- ship experience. Students were assigne d to a different intercol- legiate athletic team for four semesters. lason Thomas, junior in ath- letic training, said he transferred to K- State because of the hands- on aspect of education. Athletic training majors stretched athletes, observed practices, traveled with teams to tournaments and games and looked at injures. An athletic trainer is not a doctor, Goodman said. You can ' t diagnose patients. To do that, you have to be a sports medi- cine doctor. We can just make an observation and recommend a doctor. The internship required 20 to 30 hours each week, depending on the team and the season, Good- man said. It is a good learning expe- rience because you work with certified trainers and get a lot of hands-on learning, she said. It ' s something with medicine without being a doctor or going to medical school. 122nacademics help prevent injury, ry Driskill, graduate udent in kinesolgy, topes the ankle of o volleyball player before practice.

Department teams competed for a travehng trophy in the sixth annual Flint Hills Fall Classic 5K Run or Walk, Nov. 9. The event organized by the Department of Kinesiology, as a fund-raiser for student schol- arships, required considerable planning, Angela Hands, senior in kinesiology, said.

Event planning included pro- motional activities and recruiting volunteers. I ' ve done this several years in a row, so a lot of it is set in place, Ferguson said. It ' s just a matter of pulling the last year ' s notebook out and following along. Although most teams con- sisted of department faculty and students, the Classic was also open to business-sponsored teams. The fastest team won the traveling trophy and a pizza party. The second two fastest times also received a pizza party. The depart- ment or local business with the most participants won a basket of cookies, Ferguson said. Some participants trained in preparation for the event. Dann Fisher, associate profes- sor of accounting, and Ferguson started a training program for first-time participants. They also helped those returning to the event who wanted to improve their time, Ferguson said. The race started between Ahearn Field House and the K- State Student Union and the course curved around campus. A lot of people were slowing down around the hills, Richard Condray, senior in life sciences, said. I was able to pass somebody. On the day of the race, 50 to 75 volunteers arrived to help with the event. Kinesiology students had to participate or volunteer to be eligible for scholarships funded by the Classic, Ferguson said. Volunteers blocked streets, recorded times and collected run- ners ' numbers in finishing order. Once the race starts, it ' s fun, Ferguson said. Every- thing beforehand is nerve rack- ing — wondering if everything will run smoothly. But the day of, seeing the runners out there, getting them started, and seeing them finish is my favorite part. The Department of Engineer- ing won the race, and the kinesi- ology department had the most participants, Ferguson said.

K-State tuition increased 25.1 percent in 2002 and 20.1 percent in 2003. K-Statelost$12 million in purchasing pov er in 2002. For every $1 put into higher edu- cation, Kansas recieves $7 in return. Nathan Rochel, freshman in electrical engineering, writes a letter to state offi- cials. (The best part is) just letting kids know how much funding has changed over the years, Rochel said. Photo by Drew Rose r F Students protest increased tuition, state budget cuts by Matt Gorney Students gathered in protest and chanted phrases such as, give some money to K-State, education ' s really great, and 1, 2, 3, 4 — we will win the budget war, because ot cuts in state funding to the university and recent tuition increases. For the second consecutive year, K- State tuition increased more than 20 percent while the university lost $12 million in purchasing power. Pack the Library, Nov. 4, began with a rally outside Hale Library where students marched, chanted and carried signs. The event moved inside where attendees wrote letters to their dis- trict state representatives asking for legislative support for higher education. Pack the Library began in 2002 with more than 250 students who marched and more than 500 who listened to the speakers and wrote letters. It brings awareness to senators and repre- sentatives, Jason Crabtree, senior in architec- tural engineering, said. We ' re here and we are people too, and we need money. Lauren Vaughan, freshman in interior design, said budget cuts might eventually hurt enrollment numbers. I think that it is important there are no more budget cuts, Vaughan said. Since it ' s a public university, people shouldn ' t be dis- couraged from coming here because of high tuition. She said Pack the Library was a good forum for students to have their voices heard. The best part would probably be the opportunity it presents to students and government officials, Vaughan said. Both sides can learn from what the other has to say. After finishing their letters, attendees were treated to free pizza and pop. Congressional candidate Nancy Boyda, Kansas Sen. Steve Morris, Rep. Roger Reitz, Rep. Sydney Carlin, Rep. Jim Morrison and Kansas Board of Regents member Nelson Galle spoke to students at the library and addressed budget issues. Nathan Rochel, freshman in electrical engineering and member of Beta Theta Pi fraternity, said he hoped the event would serve as a wake- up call for officials. My pledge class came; it ' s one of our activities we do just to get involved, Rochel said. Hopefully they ' ll notice a lot of students care about it and devise a plan to help get some more funding for education Picketers walk in front of Hole Library to protest the need for more funding for fiigfier education.

Graduate students were given their own rooms on the second floor of West Stadium. DeFord said most students thought the stadium was vacant. Photo by Jeanel Drake West Stadium offered graduate students in art an environment to foster creativity, Joel Starkey, graduate student in fine arts, said. West Stadium was initially barracks for service men and dorms for athletes. Since 1970, the Department of Art made West Stadium one of its homes, with the other being Willard Hall. The West Stadium facility included studios for ceramics, sculpture and painting. The second floor housed graduate students ' studios. Each graduate student was allotted 200 square feet of private studio space. (West Stadium ' s) been through some wear and tear, Starkey said, so it ' s not a big deal if painters are there and make a mess. It ' s pretty decent space. There ' s enough room. Starkey came from Wisconsin to K- State to study art as a graduate student. He said he chose K- State because he wanted to see how his art would change by being away from familiar surroundings. The fact he would be getting his own studio space also influenced his decision, he said. There ' s a specific place for me to work and that ' s nice, Starkey said. I feel guilty if I ' m not there. Having personal space meant graduate students had room to be creative, Starkey said. Students made their spaces comfortable and inspiring, he said. I ' ll have music, art books or other works laid out, he said, or you can bring other people in and see what they think of your work. You have to push yourself to create your own energy. Many found it conducive to work in West Stadium compared to other locations. Matthew DeFord, graduate student in fine arts, said if he didn ' t have other things to do, he would have wo rked in West Sta- dium all the time. I just have to do (art), DeFord said. I just have to. I love it. The best thing about graduate school is the opportunity — the opportunity to make, to do, to think. Although West Stadium offered creativity and personal space, stu- dent artists would not always be there. West Stadium is on the chopping block, Duane Noblett, art depart- ment head, said. Everything art related is to be moved over to Willard Hall in two to three years, and the inside of West Stadium gutted. DeFord was sad the art department was leaving West Stadium. I ' m glad it ' s after my time though, he said. It may have wiring problems and leaks, but it ' s a nice place to work. 128ciacademics Building a sculpture, Matthew DeFotd, graduate student in fine arts, welds his latest piece out of iron rods, Sept, 10.

However, Internet-sawy students had a possible advantage when making that decision — onHne professor evaluations. There ' s a big issue with the use of online student ratings, said William Pallett, director of the Individual Development Educational Assessment Center. They ' re being used more and more for traditional face -to -face classes. While the IDEA Center specialized in providing online evaluations for dis- tance courses, Web sites such as RateMyProfessors.com allowed students to evaluate and com- ment on professors at universities across the nation. As of Feb. 5, 262 K- State professors were listed on the site. At the site, students rated profes- sors on five-point scales for easiness, helpfulness and clarity. They also had the option to leave comments designed to help other students decide which professors would best suit their needs. Additionally, a Student Gov- erning Association committee was investigating the possibility of creating a similar Web site specifi- cally for K- State. When students enroll in classes, they ask other students if the class is good, what type of teaching style the teacher has, their attendance policy, tests, etc., Erik Ankrom, technology coordi- nator for the president ' s cabinet, said. Currently, it ' s a word-of- mouth process. This would just make the process easier. Ankrom, senior in manage- ment and information systems, said the teacher evaluations used in most classes were designed to benefit faculty and staff, not students. A Web site, however, would allow any student to see what others said about various professors. The results would be in a graph, (and) you could search for teachers by major, Ankrom said. You could see all the teachers that are available for a certain course and see how they ' re rated. Roger Trenary, one of the professors rated most frequently on RateMyProfessors.com, said online evaluations could be help- ful if approached cautiously. I ' m not opposed to it, but I think it ' s subject to abuse, Tre- nary, economics instructor, said. What ' s to stop any random person from putting something stupid on it? Students have the right to know something about the professor if the information is out there, but I think it ' s hard to do well because it ' s hard to control idiots. Ankrom said he expected K- State ' s Web site to be available as soon as possible. I would hope this process is a system that would go online hopefully during the next school year, Ankrom said. It ' s definitely a system that is in development, and we ' re asking for input from students and staff right now. Front row: Kelly Liu, Sambhudas Chodhuri, George Clark, Allen Archer.

Kyle Mankin s biological and agricultural engineer- ing class completed a rede- sign of the exhibit to better the snow leopard ' s habitat. Photo by Zach Long Field trips to the zoo were not just for grade -schoolers — just ask students in Kyle Mankin ' s introduc- tion to biological and agricultural engineering technology class. As a class project, Mankin, associate professor of biological and agricultural engineering, had his students design a habitat for the snow leopard exhibit at Sunset Zoo- logical Park. Working in pairs, students tackled the exhibit layout, feeding systems, environment and exhibit furniture. Mankin, who was a member of the Friends of Sunset Zoo Board of Directors, said he wanted the project to help students understand their future career field and to see the impor- tance and necessity of their other classes. I really try to make courses as real as possible to help prepare students for what they ' re going to be doing in their careers, Mankin said. Textbook learning can only get you so far, and it ' s not very exciting. Getting your hands dirty and doing things out of the classroom is more of an emersion learning experience, and you learn more that ' s of relevance. Students met with zoo officials and toured the facility. First of all, we went and did research, Dustin Pelton, freshman in agricultural technology manage- ment, said. They were planning on making a new exhibit and thought it would be cool if the students got to give them some ideas. The students had to satisfy the needs of three customers while designing, said Jennifer Fund, sophomore in biological and agri- cultu ral engineering. The zookeepers, the animals and the visitors were what we had to keep in mind, Fund said. It ' s really important for the visitors to be comfortable and like what the exhibit looks like. The snow leopards don ' t live in a green habitat, but the visitors like to see green in the exhibit because it makes them feel like the animal is more comfortable, even if it ' s not natural. Likewise, the groups had to address the animals ' comfort, as well. We saw what the cat was used to living in, and we went around the cats ' needs, Pelton said. The cats are used to high altitudes and living up in the mountains, so we gave it a mountain effect. We wanted the cat to feel like it ' s his own environment. The students presented their completed projects at the engi- neering Open House, April 3. After that, zoo officials could choose which of the students ' plans they wanted to use. I don ' t know if they ' ll take all (of our ideas), Pelton said. I ' ll be curious if they take a few of them. Front row: John W. Walters, E.

Usu- ally you want to know the extreme, David Mitchell, Seaton Hall building manager, said. Where is the sun going to be when it is the hottest? Mitchell said students often brought their models and other projects into the heliodon to take photos and find where the sun would hit their buildings at various times of the doy Photo by Kelly Glasscock 134nacademics Students cast light on projects in dome-like room by Kristen Day The heliodon was a place in Seaton Hall for students to take models and use controlled lighting to find where the sun would cast shadows and direct sunlight on certain days of the year at certain times. There is a switchboard that controls days of the year and hours from sunrise to sunset, Steven Rusk, senior in architec- ture, said. The switchboard included options for setting winter and summer solstices, and spring and fall equinoxes. Dennis Law, dean of the Col- lege of Architecture, Planning and Design, said the heliodon was intended to assist students with their understanding of the dynamics of natural light for architectural professions. The heliodon had been a useful tool since it was built in the mid-1960s, Ray Weisenburger, associate dean and professor, said. The heliodon was built because professor Henry Wright wanted it for his research, he said. He thought it would be a good research facility, Weisen- burger said. We have been using it ever since. David Mitchell, Seaton Hall building manager, said the heliodon was used for different reasons. (It showed) how you can heat and cool your house if you have the correct overhang, Mitchell said. Professors used it for shad- ing and shadowing, and first-year kids came in and learned about solar lighting. Contractors for a building near Crown Center in Kansas City, Mo., even used the heliodon to help find ways to incorporate sunlight throughout their build- ing, Mitchell said. The lights used in the heliodon were 250 -watt studio lights. Fifteen or 18 years ago we changed them, Mitchell said. They were a lot lower wattage. Now we get a lot more intensity for the sun. Mitchell and Weisenburger said there were compute r pro- grams students could use, but the programs did not compare to the heliodon. There are a lot of heliodon- type things you can buy, Mitchell said, but this is one of the few that you can actually walk into and put your model in and step back and look. Examining a model at a table in center of the heli- odon, Andrew Billing, and Adriana Molina, junior in architecture, poy attention to where light casts shad- ows on the model. (We) look for solar heat gain coming through windows, ' . n PuiK senior in archi- tecture, said, and where light needs to be blocked to prevent direct sun heat. Students also used the heliodon to find how much natural light they could get through windows without the use of artificial light.

Photo by Drew Rose Detectors SMART Lab houses semiconductor processing equipment by Christy Setter asis tor researc Hidden in the basement of Ward Hall was K- State ' s Semiconductor Materials and Radiological Technologies Laboratory. The high-tech lab was dedicated to the research and development of new and innovative detector technologies. Students used the SMART Lab to work on individual tasks, but its primary function was to provide an adequate facility for students to develop government- and industrial -sponsored research projects. Douglas McGregor, associate professor of mechanical and nuclear engineering, said the lab was useful in several different aspects. Since Sept. 11, Americans are very aware of the threat posed by terrorist organizations — we are always on guard to defend against any possible threats, Adam Graebner, junior in mechanical engineering, said. The detec- tors that are made in the lab can be used to detect dirty bombs and monitor stockpiles of nuclear materials. The detectors are very small and can be employed in various ways so that our country can be a safe place to live. In 2002, the SMART Lab moved to K- State from its previous loca- tion at the University of Michigan. Since then, Graebner said research- ers gained the ability to create smaller and more efficient ways to detect neutrons and radiation. Several patents have been awarded to SMART Lab researchers, with several more pending. The students and faculty, in their short time using the lab, had already produced more than 40 papers. I use (the labs) when I ' m not in class, and I work full-time as a research employee, Walter McNeil, senior in mechanical engineering, said. (Growing crystals) is a long process, so we stay pretty busy. McGregor said students using the lab should be more than prepared to step into a company environment. The SMART Lab proved to be beneficial to students and the univer- sity through the research conducted as a result of its addition. The equipment that I get to work with is very expensive and com- plex, Graebner said. Without the lab, I wouldn ' t be able to utilize that technology. It also excites me about different career opportunities that I can now pursue. Working with materials no bigger than their fingertips, students find that precise instruments are a neces- sity. The SMART Lab was equipped with several high- tech precision tools that aided in research- The lab has many different systems necessary to actually create computer chips, Adam Graebner said. The lab gives us, as researchers, the ability to find new ways to create smaller, more efficient woys to detect neutrons and radiation.

That year, his parents took him to see My Fair Lady, and he was hooked, he said. I walked out of that theater saying ' this is what I want to do, ' Mehler said. I had been writing lyrics for musical theater since high school. Mehler chose to write a musi- cal for his master s project. He considered different pieces to pro- vide inspiration for his musical. At one point, Mehler was going to adapt It ' s a Wonderful Life because of its great debate on the meaning of life, he said. Instead, he based his musical on Bernard Shaw ' s Major Bar- bara, and titled it Wealth, and How Not to Avoid It. Charlie took that story fur- ther and delved deeper into the histories of each character, Chad Howard, junior in theater, said. All in all, I had a blast working with the material. Howard portrayed the roles of both Adolphus and Todger in Mehler ' s musical during the staged reading at Manhattan Arts Center, Ian. 30-31. Mehler started writing his piece fall 2002 and had a first draft soon afterwards, but he said it lacked the punch line the current version had. He made changes, and did major rewrites to accom- pany cast changes and whatever else was not working. At one point, a phrase was used with God ' s name in vain, Mehler said. It played, and I told myself, ' no, it doesn ' t belong in this play. ' Since the first staged read- by Kristen Day ing, the phrase had been changed and Mehler said he truly felt they could do the reading without offending anyone. Regardless of how many alterations Mehler made to his musical, his professor, Sally Bailey, assistant professor in speech communication, theater and dance, said it made sense for him to do a musical for his master ' s project. Musicals are Charlie ' s specific interest in playwriting, she said. His dream was to write ' the great American musical. ' Bailey said it was not required for graduates to have a staged reading of their play. Hav ing a play that was in good enough shape for a staged reading was a plus, Bailey said. (It was) an excellent experience for the playwright. Modern Languages Front row: Kristma McCollam-Wiebe, Maria Melgare|0, Antonio Pigno, Silvia Sauler, Robert Corum. Bock row: Doug Benson, C.

In addition to doing exercises, students learned about related topics. When I ' m stressed out, exercising is the first thing 1 want to do, Gower said. It really helps me clear my mind. Photo by Kelly Glasscock Resting for a moment from her workout, Vanessa Gower checks her pulse during her Aerobic Danc- ing and Exercise class. The class met twice a week throughout the semester, and students earned one credit-hour for the course. My family has a history of diabetes, which was the main reason I said I ' d eat right and exercise, Gower said. Photo by Kelly Glasscock 140aacademics class offers credit for AEROBICS Rarely could a student take an aspect of their daily routine — an aspect they voluntarily did and enjoyed — and receive academic credit for it. Students in Aerobic Dancing and Exercise met in the Nata- torium twrice a week. Some said they went to add a new or differ- ent aspect to their schedule, while others needed one hour of extra- curricular credit. I have my routine at the rec, Emily Borel, sophomore in family studies and human services, said, but it doesn ' t include aerobics, so this helps mix it up a bit. Vanessa Gower, sophomore in business administration, said friends advised her to take the class to fill an extra-curricular credit. I have a tough schedule this semester, Gower said. So I thought I ' d throw in something that would be new and useful. Geared toward getting people moving, the class served as an introduction to various formats of group exercise, Sara Hillard, instructor and graduate student in kinesiology, said. I try to give them a variety of exercises like floor and step aerobics, water aerobics, yoga and strength training, Hillard said. We cover a little bit of every- thing. Despite the cost of one credit hour, Hillard said the 40 available spaces filled quickly. Taking it for credit gives people an incentive to go to class, Gower said. If you go to the rec, it ' s up to you to keep going, but if you are getting credit for it, it makes you go. Also, we read about things so we actually learn about what we are doing. Hillard said in addition to aerobic exercises, she taught topics such as finding a target heart rate. by Lindsay Thorpe muscle groups, safety, form, relax- ation and stress management. We take our pulse while we ' re exercising so we know what we should aim for, Borel said. It helps me get a better idea of how hard I should work out and it gives me a better perspective of how to take care of my body. Stephanie Caouette, instructor and graduate student in kinesi- ology, said both beginners and experienced students enrolled in the class. You can pace yourself as you go, Caouette said. We show modifications to every exercise, so they have an option. We grade mostly on participation. Hillard said she almost always has an all-female class, partly due to the name of the course. It really is a misnomer, she said. It ' s not a dance class at all. It ' s more of a group fitness session, not necessarily aerobic dancing.

Produced monthly, the student-run sports TV show Purple Power Hour fea- tured K- State athletes and their lives away from the sports arena. For more than 30 years, the Manhattan Chinese Christian Fellowship offered a community to Chinese faculty and students to share their faith. Over lunchtime, faculty members stepped out of the office to practice yoga tech- niques. They hoped to improve their lifestyles and promote a non-violence message. The Super Smash Brothers Club formed to provide video -game lovers a chance to demonstrate their skills in friendly competitions and tournaments. Members gathered to battle one another with their favorite Nintendo characters, such as Sheik, Link and Captain Falcon. With more than 300 registered student organizations and many more informal groups to choose from, those interested did not have to look far to find a club that peaked their interest. 1 42 norganizations Kevin McBeth, sophomore, in mathematics, juggles five clubs during a Juggling Club meeting in the K-Slote Student Union Plaza, Oct. 23.

They were among the 37 students chosen to be on the Cadaver Team, The team learned parts of the human body early so they could teach anatomy to the rest of the class. Everyone got along really well, said McGorrett Groth, senior in biology and fall 2003 Cadaver Team member. We had a lot of fun in the lob laughing and helping out. Photo by Jeanel Drake Working to maintain the 80-percent grade required for Cadaver Team members, Straton Howard, junior in biology; John Tonn, junior in kinesiology, and Audiey Atencio, junior in pre-nursing, hold up X-rays to examine the human body. The team operated twice as fast as the rest of the class. The first couple of weeks are rigorous, Jonothan Mein, senior in nutritional sciences, said. (The Cadaver Team) made the material easier to under- stand because you ' ve seen what is happening. Photo by Jeanel Drake CADAVERS The 160 students enrolled in Structure and Function of the Human Body attended five hours of lecture and six hours of lab each week. Each semester, 30-40 stu- dents had the privilege of spend- ing additional hours studying and working in labs as part of the Cadaver Team. I can ' t equate it with hard work, because I learned that much more and that much better, said lonathan Mein, senior in nutri- tional sciences and fall 2003 team member. I learn better hands-on, and when you are doing the dis- secting and cutting out, you are the first person to see it. You get a chance to get your hands dirty. Students in Human Body learned anatomy by studying cadavers, which Cadaver Team members dissected. It gets you out of your com- fort zone because you ' re dissecting a dead body, said Alison Dopps, senior in biology and spring 2002 team member. You ' re in (the lab) so much you start to smell like the cadavers. K- State was part of only 5 per- cent of undergraduate institutions with cadaver labs for undergradu- ate students. It gives you a different back- ground from other students, said 1 44 norganizations Sara Reppert, lab instructor and graduate student in human nutri- tion. It gives them an advantage in professional schools. Human Body was a required course for many kinesiology, dietetics and pre-health majors, but students on the Cadaver Team did not receive e.xtra credit for additional course work. Students interested in the Cadaver Team submitted an appli- cation stating grade point average, biology courses completed and interest in the team. Usually there is a lot of inter- est, Reppert said. There is a lot of history to it. Many students heard about it from friends or siblings. She said other students became interested in the team when their high school anatomy and physiology classes visited the Human Body class. Some of the applications say, ' it ' s been my dream since my high school came here, ' Reppert said. During the first three weeks of lab. Cadaver Team members learned six weeks of material because they helped teach anat- omy to their classmates. Team members also took anatomy exams before the rest of the class to ensure they knew the mate- rial they would teach to other students. Team members had to maintain above an 80 -percent average on the exams to remain on the team. Since the ' 70s, the Depart- ment of Biology had one or two cadavers each year. However, they were originally used in upper-level classes only. The class received three new cadavers each semester. They also kept one cadaver from the previ- ous semester. Once you get into the cadav- ers, you start learning more about them, Mein said. Not every cadaver is the same. There are new things to discover. You discover their lifestyles and how they took care of themselves. Last semester, we had a lady with a false knee. It ' s just interesting to see. Mein said being part of the Cadaver Team was beneficial because he learned the course material much better and it was knowledge he planned on using in his career. I would recommend it to anybody interested, said Shannon Simmons, senior in animal sci- ences and industry and fall 2003 team member. It ' s not for every- body. You have to have a personal preference and mentality, but if somebody is wanting in the medi- cal field, it is definitely something they should be a part of while taping the Purple Power Hour sports show, Nicholas Steffen, senior in speech, zooms the camera in on Sean Purcell, senior in mass communications. It ' s a lot of fun just to sit down with (the athletes) and just talk ' Purcell said. A lot of the sports shows try too hard. It ' s more fun trying to find out about these peoples ' lives and backgrounds and per- sonalities in o conversation. Photo by Drew Rose 2004 DVD Want More?

REAL-LIFE Purple Power Hour, a student- produced sports show, focused on the person behind the jersey. It featured K- State athletes outside their sports roles. We wanted to do a show that highlighted student athletes and showed them on more of a per- sonal level, Chris Olsen, sopho- more in mass communications, said. (I like) showing (that) these guys are normal people like you and me. Sean Purcell, senior in mass communications, said the show was a chance to teach younger students about the broadcast tele- vision medium and that it was a good way to practice their skills. I really enjoy the opportunity to give younger journalism stu- dents experience, he said. That was definitely a goal of mine. After scrambling to find a replacement when an interview subject failed to show up, Purcell Agricultural Student Council by Matt Gorney experience said he learned a valuable lesson. That ' s another kind of thing I learned, he said. You always have to have something in your back pocket just in case something goes wrong. Another hurdle was some- times getting the person being interviewed to be more open on camera, Olsen said. (It ' s hardest) when the person is shy, Olsen said. It makes it hard to interview when they ' re closed off When the person is nervous, it ' s probably the hardest interview. Purple Power Hour aired monthly. Each show included interviews with varsity athletes and local media, and a calendar segment highlighted upcoming sports events. Jessica Anderson, senior in mass communications, was one of the upcoming- event readers. I go in, they put a mic on me. and I read off the teleprompter, Anderson said. It ' s some good exposure. It ' s a good learning experience — it ' ll look good on resume tapes. Anderson said she wanted to have more people watch the show. I just wish more people would watch, she said. Nobody knows they ' re out there and that K- State students produced them. Even though some nights were long, Olsen said those nights were his favorites. My favorite memory would have to be me and Sean hanging out, editing, Olsen said. Just get- ting slap-happy towards the end. Those late nights editing are my most fond memory. Olsen said he thanked K- State for giving him the opportunity to work on the show. It ' s probably one of the greatest experiences I ' ve had in college, he said.

The pro-Ufe organization went to Washington, D.C., Jan. 18-23, for the Right to Life March that ended on Capitol Hill, near the U.S. Supreme Court. The first march occurred in 1973 after the Roe v. Wade deci- sion legalized abortion, Karen Jantz, junior in secondary educa- tion, said. It ' s definitely a worthy cause, she said. They ' re making a lot of progress in pro-life. Someone has to stand up for it. Hopefully it affected the people who saw us. While in Washington, D.C., members visited monuments and memorials, or volunteered at a soup kitchen. Some of us also went to a Basillica Mass — a Catholic Mass that has hundreds of priests and was about three hours long, Jantz said. There were tons of people there. Jantz said she estimated around 100,000 people attended the march to Capitol Hill. The march was really amaz- ing, Renee Wullschleger, fresh- man in feed science and industry, said. Wherever I looked, there were people. People were singing hymns or walking with their kids. There was no tension. To reach Washington, D.C., the organization joined a group from the University of Kansas and shared three buses.

It was sort of a bonding experience, Sarah Truman, sophomore in elementary educa- tion, said. It was a pilgrimage. We were going to Washington, D.C., for a cause. It ' s important to do this, to experience something that relates to the group. It ' s the biggest pro-life thing. Jantz said she was impressed by the number of people attending the rally. If (our members) had any question about whether abor- tion was right or wrong, by seeing (the march), this would make up their mind, Jantz said. It gives a tremendous sense of hope. There were so many people there. It ' s an incredible, worthy cause. Agricultural Ambassadors Front row: Jonelle Strube, Katie Jo Patterson, Lisa Derks, Beth Wehrmon.

Students encourage healthy CHOICES by Kristen Day When it came to fad diets, Dianna Schalles, nutritionist at Lafene Health Center, said a person should ask two things: would it last, and was it worth the cost to one ' s health. People can be fit and not healthy, she said. That ' s my fear. These diets are sending the wrong message. Schalles worked with women who had body-image issues and eating disorders and wanted to see something change this problem. The general population was so confused about healthy eating, Schalles said. I wanted to start some kind of campus outreach to increase awareness and (to show) how to improve body image. Schalles and Kendra Glassman, a former stude nt, came up with a group called SNAC, or Sensible Nutrition and Body Image Choices. The group consisted of dietetics and nutrition students who wanted to promote awareness of these issues. To inform students about body image and eating disorders, SNAC gave presentations throughout K- State. We did some for fraternities and sororities and some of the (resi- dence) halls, Kimberly Kerschen, senior in dietetics, said. We would like to see it in the high schools and grade schools to make them aware of it sooner. Kerschen said the presentations covered what an eating disorder was, different types of disorders, signs of a disorder and how to help someone who might have had a problem. We promoted general healthy food choices, said Tiffany Gehlen, president and senior in nutrition and exercise science. Everything is okay in moderation. There isn ' t one best way or one best diet for every- „ one. Schalles said being there for everyone was more important than the number of students SNAC helped. We always said if there was one person we reached and prevented them from going through the pain of an eating disorder, then we met our goal, Schalles said. Gehlen said SNAC ' s overall goals were to increase awareness about body image and eating disorders and to provide a way for people to get help if they needed it. Even cliched sayings were important to keep in mind, Gehlen said. Numbers don ' t matter, it ' s the inside that counts, she said. Be accepting of people. People come in all shapes and sizes, and if you ' re living a healthy lifestyle, that is what ' s important. 1 50 □organizations At a SNAC meeting, Rebecca Nedrow, senior in dietetics; Adreo Ree; Kimberly Kerschen, senior in dietetics, and Tiffany Gehlen, senior in nutrition and exer- cise sciences, look througfi magazines. (SNAC ' s) kind of on outreocfi for (people) to see what tfieir resources are, and how they can get help, and moke them feel like their not alone, Gehlen said. The biggest thing I think is to moke on impact on people so they can help themselves and help each other.

The faculty and staff met four days a week to do yoga. I believe port of the beauty of yoga is cre- ating a strong mind-body connection that allows us to focus our attention and energy away from stress and problems that plague all of us, said Carol Gould, director of Kansas Center for Rural Initiatives. (Yoga) is a time of quiet, not only in the environment but in the mind. As our practice continues, we learn to reassess our priorities and give ourselves that time of peace.

Through yoga, you con learn to accept and value your body and its abilities. It ' s amazing how often we degrade our- selves, but yoga helps you develop a positive body image. Photo by Nicole Donnert Calm continued from page 153 Carol Gould, director of Kansas Center tor Rural Initiatives, said voga held other valuable health benefits as well. It has been very rewarding to watch participants who are not into the fitness scene gain confidence, Gould said. They become more aware of their body and realize that they are starting to feel better. Yoga could positively affect physiological, psychological and cogni- tive functions, said Trisha Lamb Feuerstein of the International Associa- tion of Yoga Therapists. It helped decrease pulse rates and blood pressure and improved car- diovascular health. Mental functions such as attention, concentration and memory could also be improved. In addition to any physical health benefits, yoga was known to boost body image and self-confidence. Since 2000, the Campaign for Non -Violence worked with several organizations on campus to promote a safer environment for students and staff, which included supporting activities such as yoga. Yoga focuses on inner peace and tranquility, Deane Lehmann, biology research assistant, said. By incorporating inner peace, one learns to project and promote outer peace as well. Also, so much vio- lence seems to be a result of inner hatred directed outward. By learning to love yourself, you learn to love others. Yoga helped promote non-violence because it was peaceful, and it focused energy away from stress and conflicts, Gould said. Anyone was welcome to participate, and with increasing popularity of the discipline, Susan Allen said the group should grow. Lehmann said it was a warm setting where everyone could joke and laugh with each other. We created an environment of friendship and support, Gould said. We all just slow down for a while as we appreciate each other and the sense of good will and community created within our group.

Ag Fest gives campus taste of AGRICULTURE Participants pinned calves, pushed an old farm truck, pitched loose hay and raced wheelbarrows while blindfolded. Those activities were included in the 2003 Cowboy Olympics. The KSU Rodeo Club sponsored the festivities, March 26, at Weber Arena. The event was part of the annual Ag Fest at K- State. The purpose of the Cowboy Olympics was to teach people from non- agricultural back- grounds about aspects of farm life, CO -chair Grant Boyer, said I believe the purpose is to let kids with non-farm back- grounds become acquainted with the things farm kids do in a fun and fashionable manner, Boyer, senior in animal sciences and industry, said. Twenty five to 30 four- person teams each paid $26 to participate, Boyer said. Each event was timed, and the team with the lowest over- all time won. Jeff Brothers, whose Alpha Gamma Rho team placed third overall, said his favorite event was the lawn mower race. It was a pretty good competi- tion, Brothers, junior in animal sciences and industry, said. We definitely had to be on the ball and be quick to be effective in the events.

Photo by Kelly Glasscock 158Dorganizations by Christy Setter Endless commitment to success reveals steadfast desire, temperate hard work Between practicing and selling donuts and T-shirts, the Women ' s Club Softball team stayed busy. They worked to fund their first appear- ance at the National Club Softball Tournament in Los Angeles by col- lecting garbage at Bramlage Coliseum and hosting a youth clinic. In preparation, the girls met Wednesday and Thursday nights at Ahearn Field House to work on fielding, throwing and hitting. With their spring season lasting February through April, the women said they worked hard to prepare for the national competition. I ' m very excited, Lacey Spain, senior in sociology, said. This is my last year to play Softball, and what a great way to end our season. It ' s rewarding to see your team able to play at a national level. Despite the time commitment, Kayla Linnebur, freshman in open- option, said the season was rewarding. My teammates are what make Softball fun, Kasey Stadler, presi- dent and senior in secondary education, said. Playing softball gives all of us a chance to have a great deal of fun while remaining competitive and relieving the stresses that come with school and work. None of the women received financial help for playing softball, and they had to be willing to spend their own money on team activities, such as practicing at batting cages. I would have to say that our best asset is having dedicated players, Stadler said. These girls give up all sorts of free time to practice, play games, travel and fund raise. Linnebur said the team tried to stay focused and positive so they could work on things that needed improving. There are always things that need work — we always need to be more organized, more conditioned and have more money, Stadler said. It is amazing how our team has stuck together.

They gave us packets to send out cards to ask for pledges, said Alison N. Scott, Habitat for Humanity president and senior in management. We sent the cards to friends, relatives — whoever we thought might donate. Kirsten Clevenger, team member and sophomore in journalism and mass communica- tions, said she helped hand out fliers and tried to get others inter- ested in donating money or time. The fund-raiser was an oppor- tunity for students to raise money The money raised went to a general Habitat for Humanity fund for current or future proj- ects, Scott said. Participants rowed for at least one hour on an ergometer, an indoor rowing machine. My favorite part was volun - teering for an hour, Clevenger said.

We trade the cans in for money and donate it. Shelby said the rowing teams would help any organization that expressed a need. I think (the fund -raiser) went really well, Scott said.

Responding to advertisements for talk show time slots from KSDB-FM 91.9, two members decided to co-host a political talk show. We were pretty nervous; it was our first show, C. Travis Bradshaw, senior in computer science, said. Most of the people I ' ve talked to said they liked it, but they might be biased since they know me. In their first show, Feb. 1, the two discussed causes and effects of big-business problems, nationally and locally. Post- show responses said bringing big issues closer to home was helpful, Matthew Hoo- Black Student Union sier, graduate student in computer science, said. Most libertarians are abstract thinkers, so we try to gravitate towards that, Bradshaw said. We use great stories and anecdotes and try to talk about liberty right here in town. On Feb. 1, they discussed eminent domain — the power of the government to seize private property belonging to its citi- zens. Hoosier and Bradshaw gave examples from several Kansas cities, including Manhattan. Unfortunately for the citizens of Kansas, their state is one of the worst abusers of eminent domain, especially in comparison to other states with similar population size, Bradshaw said during the show. In order to be fully prepared for their inaugural show, Matthew Hoosier and Bradshaw spent their free time in the preceding week researching, Cole Hoosier, sopho- more in computer science, said. Now they have to do it all again (for next week ' s show), he said. Matthew and Bradshaw rehearsed beforehand, and although there were a few tongue- tied moments during rehearsal, the show went smoothly, Matthew said. It was easier than when we practiced in the office, Brad- shaw said. We thought we were doomed, but I think it will get easier as time goes on. I definitely had a good time. I ' m looking for- ward to the next show. Jiack Student Union Front row; Natalie Rolfe, Talia Toles, Latoya Loren.

Once a week, members read to children at Head Start and the Man- hattan Day Care and Learning Centers Inc. This year ' s national project for Mortar Board was Reading is Leading. I think (the children) got the chance to be creative, Peter Carter, vice president and senior in biology, said. It gave them a chance to relate and brainstorm. After reading Cat and Mouse in the Snow, Cath- erine Vershelden, senior in finance, sits on the floor with PJ. Stonebraker, 2.

Photo by Kelly Glasscock 3ay Mortar Board was a national honor society with membership based on scholarship, leadership and service. While she did not know if the reading program would leave a lasting impression on the children, Catherine Verschelden, president and senior in finance, said she enjoyed the interaction. I think it ' s really fun, she said. You don ' t get to be around that much fun and energy and spirit. They melt your heart. Charles Anderson, a lead teacher at Manhattan Day Care and Learn- ing Centers Inc., said the program benefited both him and the children. It gives the kids a chance to interact with other people, and it breaks the monotony of me teaching, he said. They get to learn from other people, too. Anderson said members of Mortar Board tried to bring a theme of diversity into the classroom with the books they chose to read. After each reading, members donated the books to the classroom ' s library. Kids are kind of inspiring, Carter said. They have an innocence about them. r I i( J v. ' V r Crammed in a small room in the Delta Sigma Phi house, Super Smash Brothers Club members take turns compet- ing in a four-man, free-for- all competition, Feb. 8. The meeting was the first time members played together and were able to gauge each other ' s skills. Marcus Judy, founder and junior in biology, said he wanted the club to be more than just guys playing games all the time. I think it ' s a way to get active on campus and, at the same time, make new friends that I wouldn ' t have met before. Photo by Nicole Donnert Amidst a sea of video-game controllers and trash-talk, members of the club battle each other in virtual reality. The club attracted a diverse body of members, who wanted to compete with others who shared interest in the game. I ' ve played the game a lot with my friends back home, Marcus Judy said. I was always one of the better players, and I was just curious if there were other people out there. I sort of feel like I ' m one of the best, and it ' ll be interesting to see if I ' m really not all that good. Photo by Nicole Donnert Otl Super Smash Brothers talk about Super Smash Bros. Melee characters Premiered in: The Legend of Zelda Special moves: bow, boomerang, spin attack, bomb. I think he has perfect diversibility, Robert K. Johnson, _ freshman in computer science, I HT said. I love all the games Ness Premiered in: Earthbound Special moves: pk flash, pk thunder, psi magnet. I think when I ' m playing with people for a long time as Falcon, it sometimes throws them for a loop when I play as Ness, because he ' s a lot more of an elusive counter-attack kind of player, while Falcon is more in your face, Marcus Judy, junior in biology, said 1 66 o organizations men unite with Nintendo GAME TIME They did not join to iielp others by doing community service. They did not join because they thought it would look good on a resume. They did not join to network with other students des- tined for a similar career path. They joined for love of the game — for love of the video game, that is. When Marcus Judy began advertising his pet-project, Super Smash Brothers Club, his phone rang off the hook. I didn ' t know what kind of response or feedback we ' d get from advertising for the club, but, within just an hour or two, we already had a lot of feedback, Judy, president and junior in biology, said. All the people that called had seen the flier, got to a phone and called us. Within a week, 25 students responded, Charlie Miller, co- founder and sophomore in politi- cal science, said. Judy founded the club fall 2003 and planned to get things started after students returned from winter break. He began spring 2004 by placing flyers in the K- State Student Union and around the residence halls. The purpose of the club, as the name indicated, was to play Super Smash Bros. Melee, a Nintendo GameCube game where play- ers entered into head-to-head competition as different Nintendo characters, such as Mario, Zelda, Kirby or Pikachu. Before the club ' s inception, Judy and Miller spent their free time playing Super Smash Bros. Melee with members of their fra- ternity. Delta Sigma Phi. I think, ultimately, Marcus and I just decided that it would be a unique idea to start a club like this, Miller said. Also, it was getting kind of boring playing by ourselves all the time. Marcus is really good, and he was looking for some competition. The desire for stiffer competi- tion drew Robert K. Johnson to the club. I ' m pretty good, Johnson, freshman in computer science, said. I like challenges, so I wanted to see if anyone could give me a good fight. Judy said he started the club as much for the social aspect as for his love of the game. je Kirby Premiered in: Kirby ' s Dreamland Special moves: swallow, hammer, final cutter. I think the r eason I like Kirby more than the other characters is because of the look on the other players ' faces when something that cute and adorable kicks them into the air and hits them seven times before they hit the ground, Jacob Walker, sophomore in open-option, said. by Jaci Boydston It ' s good, clean fun, he said. I ' m not a huge partier, and I ' m known in my fraternity as one of the lesser guys in the party- ing department. (This way), I ' ll still have a chance to be social and meet guys from all over campus. Judy and Miller agreed Super Smash Bros. Melee was, in fact, good, clean fun. Although the game involved fighting and was rated T for Teen, Judy said it was much less gory than many other video games. I really like the game because it ' s not like your basic shoot- ' em- up game with blood and guts, it ' s just a fun competition, Judy said. There are so many different stra tegies and ways to play. Each character or each player really has its own personality. Miller agreed. I don ' t have any problems with Grand Theft Auto and games like that, but, quite honestly, I get bored with them, he said. I prefer to play games like this or racing games where you don ' t have to worry about chopping people ' s heads off Sheik Premiered In: The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time Special moves: needle storm, vanish. She ' s one of the fastest characters there is, Matthew Uhler, freshman in animal sciences and industry, said. Her moves take priority over the other (characters). Captain Falcon Premiered in: FZero Special moves: falcon punch, raptor boost, falcon dive. Compared to the other players in the gome, he ' s fast and his moves are strong, Marcus Judy, junior in biology, said. When you play with Falcon, if you ' re playing with other people that are the some skill level, it doesn ' t necessarily mean you ' re going to win, but Falcon usually has the most knock-outs. Peach T Premiered in: J1 Super Mario Bros. Special moves: toad smash. Peach bomb. Peach porosol, vegetable. She ' s very versatile, Zach Snyder, sophomore in engineering, said. She ' s powerful while she ' s still elegant. source: Nintendo super smash brothers 1 67 while practicing in Ahearn Field House, Lesley Wright, junior in mechanical engi- neering, blocks a punch from Komran Qadir, senior in computer engineering.

There ' s been a variety of reasons that people check the club out, Char- lene Anspaugh, branch master, said. Some are just interested in getting in shape and building flexibility. I myself was interested in self-defense. Anspaugh said the club ' s focus was to teach members to use karate skills as a last resort. We promote avoiding the situation, she said. If they take a swing at you, then you should defend yourself As far as I know, no one in our club has had to use it. Even though the need to put her skills to use had not risen, Lesley Wright, CO -president and junior in mechanical engineering, said she felt safer knowing them. (I learned) how to defend myself, how to be more self-confident, Wright said. I ' m not so scared to walk across campus at night any- more. Megan Bauman, senior in fine arts, said she also felt safer. I feel more aware of my surroundings, she said. I do feel a little more protected, because I know the environment around me a lot better than I used to. Wright said she had wanted to learn karate after seeing the club at the activities carnival. An advertisement prompted Bauman to further investigate Karate Club, she said. I ' ve always kind of been interested in (karate), and I saw it in the paper and decided to check it out, Bauman said. From there, it just kept on going. The physical benefits of karate were obvious, she said. You have a great amount of exercise, Bauman said. You learn a great amount of balance and coordination, even if you don ' t have those to begin with. continued on page 171 karate club c 1 69 Business Administration Student Ambassadors Front row: Kortney Sleinhurst, Jill Heins, Mary Carpenter, Anne Bianculli, Jessica Luehring.

You don ' t have to be the most physicall y fit to do it, but it helps, she said. You get pretty sore, but you get a lot out of it. Learning karate, Bauman said, has taught her to surpass limitations. It really shows you how hard you can go physically as well as men- tally, she said. It teaches you a lot about yourself. I ' ve learned I can push myself a lot more physically and mentally than I thought possible. In addition to learning karate, members of the club became friends. We ' ve also developed as quite a close network of friends, Ans- paugh said. We ' ve had a few (members) who met in the club and are now roommates. Lesley Wright said to keep one thing in mind during practice. Don ' t hurt the other person, she said. Because then they will hurt you back. j- u i o ' m T L- ' -« Collegiate 4-H Club -1 -T - Hv .

The group began each meeting with song and prayer. We especially pray that there are more believers of Jesus Christ in China ' Congjian Zhang, president and graduate student in mechanical engi- neering, said. Chinese people need God ' s love. Photo by Nicole Donnert BILINGUAL fellowship In the basement of Grace Baptist Church, the nursery filled and children ran around while adults greeted one another. It was not Sunday morning, and people were not speaking English. For more than 30 years, Grace Baptist Church provided the Man- hattan Chinese Christian Fellowship with a place for Friday night Bible study and worship. I came here in 1991, and there were not more than 10 people, said Shing Chang, adviser and associate profes- sor in industrial and manufacturing systems engineering. Now we have doubled and tripled. We have between 40-50 attend Bible studies. Opening songs, Bible study and conversations were entirely in Chinese. This club is the only Chinese-speaking Bible study group in Manhattan, said Congjian Zhang, president and graduate student in mechanical engineering. We are very eager to share the good news of Jesus Christ to those who want to know about him. This is even more important to those who stay in Manhattan but can only know Chinese, for example, some older visitors. The group was comprised of Chinese Manhattan residents, K- State faculty and students, and family members visiting from China. There are older ladies who are parents of students who come and visit, Chang said. They don ' t speak English at all. Chang said he thought about 10 percent of the Chinese population in Manhattan was Christian. Although the organization was a cornerstone of the Chinese commu- nity for 30 years, 2003 was its first year as a registered student organization. We have five or six students in the Bible study, Chang said. We used to have a lot of Chinese students, but since 9-11, the number has dropped because it is harder to get a visa. The organization had a close relationship with Dr. Bob Taussig, founder of Helping International Students, which provided interna- tional students with friends in the community. Taussig and his wife invited Chinese people who wanted to learn the Bible to their home Sunday nights for discussions, teaching and dinner. continued on poge 1 74 Amidst the occasional whimpers of children, JinXin Goo, groduote student in pathobioiogy, takes core of Emily Wong in the nursery of Grace Baptist Church. While the adults studied Bible verses in small groups, the children either stayed in the nursery or participated in a youth Bible study. I think it ' s a good experience to gain teaching and working experience with kids who are bicultural, said Amonda Hardin, senior in cross- cultural ministry at Manhat- tan Christian College.

I came here thinking I can know more, David Wang, research associate in chemistry, said. I became a believer Photo by Nicole Donnert Education Student Council Some have never seen the Bible, Dr. Bob Taussig said. You say the word God and they say, ' what ' s that? ' When they do really decide they want to be followers of God, they become faithful attendees of CCF. Taussig said it was important for them to hear the message in their own language. Everything runs smoother in your first language, Shing Chang said. It is closer to the heart. During the spring semester, the group studied the book of Mark. Each week a different member led the Bible study. Group members sat in a circle and took turns reading verses in the first chapter of Mark. Then they formed groups of three and four to dis- cuss sections of the chapter. They discussed three things: observations, interpretations and application, Chang said . While the adults studied in Chinese, the children split into two groups and were taught in English by Manhattan Christian College stu- dents Amanda Hardin, senior in cross cuhural ministry, and graduate Dave Boeding. Hardin said Bible study helped children and parents stay connected. They really appreciated what we do because they weren ' t raised in the culture that their kids are, she said. (The lessons in English) would be more relevant to (the kids) and what they do in school. It helps them to co-exist in the two areas of their lives. After the Bible study, members shared a prayer and congregated for cookies and drinks. David Wang, research associate in chemistry, said the group was a good community for Chinese Christians and helped strengthen his belief in Christianity. You cannot have a strong faith without (being) surrounded by brothers and sisters, Zhang said. One of the biggest commands in both the Old and New Testaments is to love one another. A strong support group encourages everyone to be good Jesus followers. Engineering Ambassadors Front row: Lindsay Sutton, Brondi Eisen, Sharon Hoffman, Jodi Sprang, Abby Gigous.

Brown and members of the Society for Creative Anach- ronisms displayed battles during the Medieval era by fighting with padded armor and wooden weapons. You have to be cleared to fight, to prove you know how to safely give and take blows, Brown said. Photo by Chris Hanewinckel DARK AGES by Jacob Walker The Shire of the Spinning Winds, set in the Midwestern Kingdom of Calontir, was home to the Manhattan chapter of the International Society for Creative Anachronisms. Calontir covers Kansas, Nebraska, Iowa, Missouri and a little bit of Arkansas, Amberly Brown, freshman in biology, said. Our group, the Shire of the Spinning Winds, is the local community. At the Little Apple Festival, Sept. 21, the Society re-enacted pre- 17th century life. The group attempted to replicate exact details of the era. In the arts and sciences tent, we had a bunch of scrolls and games from before the 17th century, Brown said. We did calligraphy and oil painting and had the scribes display all their work. The Society also staged fighting demonstrations, wore authentic costumes and made functioning suits of armor to use in battle. I built my armor from aluminum street signs, aluminum siding and leather, Brown said. You have to make armor if you want to be able to join in the fights. The swords we fight with are unsharpened but still unpadded. The pole arms and axes are all padded for protection. But once you get your stuff made, you can go out and fight someone. Some members specialized in the construction of suits of armor. I ' ve only constructed one chain-mail suit, and that was enough, Joshua Warren, senior in secondary education, said. After that, I ' ve been making plate armor. I do most of it without an oven, just work- ing the metal cold on an anvil. I use an old washbasin to pound out the curve of the breastplate. The only part I can ' t make is the piece that fits over the calf, because it has to taper down around the ankle. Members had to be deemed capable of fighting safely before being allowed to fight. Combat was not the only reason members participated. It ' s fun, and I can ' t think of a better sport, Amanda Mosteller, junior in secondary education, said. But I love the history part of it. I love doing the research. Members researched period names to use for their characters. The name I am researching is Artemisia, Mosteller said. She was the first woman to ever be admitted to the Academy of Florence. That place was to art, in those days, what London was for music in the ' 60s. The Society was organized similarly to the culture of the period it mirrored. There are Knight Marshals, who are in charge of other marshals, like archery and equine, Brown said. The only requirement to take an office is to be a paying member, but the ones who get the positions are usually the most experienced in their field. After battling during the Manhattan Little Apple Fes- tival Michoel Bethea, senior in secondary education, takes a rest. Bethea took part in the sword fighting detmonstrations hosted by the Society for Creative Anachronisms as Lord Ken- rick Dryden. Bethea was one of the few students to participate in the first doy of the festival because it took place during the football game against Marsholl.

Robert Garven, senior in political science, and Mistee Richardson, senior in computer engineering, traveled to Washing- ton, D.C, Oct. 4-7. The K- State Army ROTC representatives attended lectures at the Association of the United States Army Conference. Not very many cadets get to go because it ' s a rather expensive trip, Richardson said. We were funded through our subchapter of AUSA (Association of the United States Army) here at K- State. Richardson and Garven were chosen to attend because of their senior leadership, grade point average, extra curricular partici- pation and high standing on the merit list, Richardson said. Bob is considered a distin- guished military graduate, that means he ' s in the top 20 percent in the country in the ROTC, said lEntrepreneurs Club LECTURES Captain Cathi Cherry, military science assistant professor and trip sponsor. Mistee wasn ' t assessed in that same time span, but she is the Redondo Commander and performs well. The purpose of the convention was for civilian and military per- sonnel to gather and discuss new developments, procedures and advancements in the Army. The conference offered lec- tures covering topics from missile defense to family planning. Our section of the confer- ence was related directly to ROTC — that ' s basically what our speaker talked about, Garven said. The developments in the Army and how they collect (ideas) on future leadership. Moderniza- tion requires no great proficiency — just great leadership. During part of the conference, attendees visited information booths and vendors trying to sell products to the military. Mili- taries from other countries also by Jenny Shoemaker attended the lecture. (My favorite part was) seeing soldiers and officers from other countries — the Italian generals and the Korean colonel, Garven said. There was a booth held by the Canadian snipers, which was very informative. Richardson and Garven attended a banquet dinner and afterwards, met high-ranking national military personnel. Being able to speak to top officials like that as a cadet was a great honor, Richardson said. (Also,) seeing how (top military personnel are) down to earth people. Richardson, Garven and Cherry stayed in Washington, D.C. four days and three nights. It was a rare opportunity for students to be surrounded by military leaders with experience and to see what the military has to offer th em in the future, Cherry said. It was a great mentoring experience. Eta Kappa Nu Front row: Jeb Hoverler, Peter Johnson, Lori Bourgeois, Matthew Fellows, Nick Allegri.

Club president Ryon Brodburn, junior in park management and con- servation, said a large part of the club was teaching others to juggle. That ' s one of the things I really enjoy about jugglers, Brodburn said. They ' re always so ready to share what they know.

The group, which met and performed Thursday nights at Union Plaza, was laid-back and friendly, Kevin McBeth, freshman in computer science, said. One thing I love about it is that people just kind of show up, McBeth said. We don ' t hassle people for showing up late or anything. On a regular basis, 10 mem- bers showed up and were willing to teach less-experienced jugglers, McBeth said. Austin L. Roberts, freshman in mechanical engineering, saw the club while on campus one night and decided to join to get more practice juggling. I like drawing off the more veteran guys ' experience, Roberts said. You really get to improve Grain Science Club your skills. Kenton Born, freshman in computer science, learned to juggle when he was 9. He enter- tained audiences by juggling flam- ing torches and knives. I had always loved juggling and had done it for quite a few years, so I came up here and thought I ' d be able to put on some shows, Born said. I enjoy getting a lot of the attention. Although no members had ever been seriously injured, jug- gling could be dangerous, McBeth said. Passing machetes with Kenton for the first time was pretty interesting, he said. He has this one weird trick he does where he throws it in the air and it spins backwards, but he wasn ' t very good at it yet, so most of them came towards my face. In March 2003, juggling club experienced a revival from its former state of inactivity when president Ryan Bradburn, junior in park management and conser- vation, decided to begin meet- ing regularly and become more involved on campus and in the community. In addition to performances at the Little Apple Festival and CiCo Park, the club gained visibility through the Thursday night on- campus meetings. Being right outside the Union is a pretty good marketing tool because a lot of people see it, McBeth said. Last year they were in a room in the Union, so no one ever really saw them. Despite Born and McBeth ' s dangerous feats, McBeth said he most enjoyed helping novice jug- glers improve their skills. The majority of the club is new jugglers, McBeth said. One of the most fun parts is just trying to teach them. Greeks Advocating the Mature] Management of Alcohol Front row: Nicole Siderewicz, Abigail Crow. Row 2: MoltL.

The event honored Wildcat defensive tackle Anthony Bates, who died in 2000 from hypertrophic cardiomyopathy, an abnormality that causes thickness of the heart muscle. (The screenings) being free definitely helps, Miranda Hayden, junior in management, said. There ' s no excuse not to come do it. To offer free tests, doctors and medical technicians volunteered time and equipment for testing students, athletes and community mem- bers, Brian Niehoff, Alpha Kappa Psi adviser, said. Eighty- five percent of Alpha Kappa Psi members volunteered at the event, the organization ' s largest service project of the year, Jerimy Wooley, president and senior in management, said. Those who were tested first completed a two-page questionnaire. After waiting in line, they had their blood pressure taken and went into the screening room for the test. From start to finish, it takes about 25 minutes, Brian Niehoff adviser for Alpha Kappa Psi, said. It ' s pretty painless. There is the cold gel, but no discomfort. For those who did have the test taken, it brought a sense of relief. I didn ' t know about the disease before becoming a part of (Alpha Kappa Psi), Ryan Baldassaro, senior in finance, said. Once I did hear the facts and seriousness, (taking the test) gave me peace of mind. Others had different reasons for getting tested. Megan Beam, fresh- man in psychology, came to get tested because her mother told her to. I feel better now that I did it, Beam said. It was very generous for them to do this. It helps save lives. While volunteering at the event, Wooley decided to get tested because of a history of heart disease in his family. One in 500 people have hypertrophic cardiomyopathy, Sharon Bates, Anthony ' s mother, said. A lot (of people) don ' t know they have it. Sudden death (can occur) at 17. Anthony died at 20. 1 want people to understand (the death factor). The disease was a silent killer, Wooley said. People seem completely normal, and then they drop dow n, Wooley said, Like any other disease, it ' s important to find out so you can get treated and live a normal life. alpha kappa psi 1 83 Front row: Natalee Holt, Vicki Tinnon-Brock, Sarah Waxman.

Davis said he appreciated the opportunity to familiarize himself with campus organizations. I ' m kind of one of those people who doesn ' t have a life, Davis said. I can do anything and everything whenever I want, so I decided to join the Water Ski Club. One of the evening ' s biggest crowd attractions was Rayburn ' s musi- cal parodies, songs and jokes, which Ryan Thomas said the crowd really enjoyed. They ' ve been singing (along) and everything, Thomas said. There are a lot of parodies, and he ' s really good at making stuff up. Thomas said Rayburn ' s performance made the evening more enjoy- able for him. I was just in the library studying and thought I ' d swing in, Thomas said. I ' ve been standing here ever since. I ' d have left a long time ago if not for him. Ernst, who organized the event, said she liked watching her work pay off and seeing students enjoy themselves. I just liked walking around and seeing everyone, Ernst said. I liked seeing all the different tattoos the students got. Some girls were putting them on their feet.

K- State ' s Amnesty International and the Paraguayan Student Asso- ciation collaborated to bring Paraguayan delegates on a tour of eastern Kansas college campuses to commemorate the Paraguayan Year of Remembrance. The tour included Pittsburg State University, the Univer- sity of Kansas, Washburn University and K- State. On Sept. 26, Rosa Palau Aguilar, head of the Statistics Division of the Paraguayan Supreme Court, and Luis Maria Benitez Reira, second court circuit judge, spoke about the Paraguayan Archive of Terror. The archive contained documentation of people who suffered human rights violations during former dictator Alfredo Stroessner ' s control. The some 700,000 documents housed in the Archives of Terror tell of the vile repression, torture and disappearance of Paraguayan citi- zens, said Kimberly Austin, graduate student in genetics and Amnesty International president. I think it is this loyalty and patriotism Par- aguayan students feel for their home country which brought their involvement into this project. The K- State chapter of Amnesty International sponsored the tour with a grant from the Amnesty International Special Initiatives Fund and additional funding from the K- State Office of Diversity and Dual Careers and Kansas Paraguay Partners. AI K- State was the lead organization, said Donna Schenck- Hamlin, library instructor and event coordinator. We also had the largest public turnout at nearly 200 in the Little Theatre. Turnout at the other institutions was much smaller and more dominated by faculty. This is due to the efforts of student groups here, which was not so much the case in the other schools. PSA hosted delegates, publicized and provided translation services. From the very beginning, everyone within PSA was so great, Austin said. There were so many PSA members who volunteered their precious time to sit for hours in the Union to voice the importance of remembrance. Everyone within PSA had such respect for each other that it was infectious and exciting. The two groups planned to co-sponsor other projects to develop a relationship between Kansas and Paraguay. I really appreciate Amnesty International ' s way of understanding the problems of other countries and trying to make a difference, said Mauro Gonzales, PSA president and junior in business administration. It makes me feel good to know that there are people out there who are willing to help others. Kimberly Austin, president of Amnesty International, and Mauro Gonzales, president of the Para- guayan Student Associa- tion, joined forces to host delegates from Paraguay. The kindness of everyone within PSA was wonderful, Austin said. They hosted a cookout, with a lot of delicious food, at the end of a busy week and everyone had so much fun. Their hospitality was inspiring.

BSU Christian Challenge hosted the third- annual bribe- ball game at New Hope Commu- nity Church, Nov. 16. In bribe -ball audience mem- bers could bribe referees to make players perform unusual acts while playing basketball. In previous years, proceeds were used to send missionaries overseas, but in 2003, donations went to buy a trailer to transport sound equip- ment to and from Forum Hall for Men ' s Crew Novice .f f s f i ' t t V ' Z Thursday night meetings. I ' m really excited that we got to raise money for something other than a trip overseas, Mendy Hutson, Christian Challenge staff member, said. It ' s fun because students don ' t get to see the effects of sending someone overseas. Now, the money is used for some- thing useful for them. Fans received an envelope, upon arival, containing a bribe menu and three bribe tickets. The menu showed prices for each bribe and included an addi- tional column for personal bribes. Bribes ranged between $5 and $25. Through bribes, BSU Chris- tian Challenge raised $1,534. Bribe-ball is a good event to hold, Heather Contrera, event planner and Christian Chal- lenge staff member, said. It ' s an easy, fun way to make money for important things. Team members were asked to perform several different bribes, including free throws, three-point shots, singing and crawling. Play- ers were not the only ones forced to do bribes. Fans were pulled onto the court to break- dance, cheerlead and sing the theme song to The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air. Bribe-ball was a lot of fun, Lauren Marshall, freshman in art, said. There was a good turn-out and a lot of people are a part of Christian Challenge and New Hope Church. Men ' s Crew Varsity Front row; Aaron L. Thonpson, Stephanie Beach, Lisa Stork.

Sponsored by the India Student Association, Sanskriti featured an Indian cultural exposition and traditional Indian meal. Kallidaikurichi Sankararaman, ISA president and graduate student in industrial engineering, said 470 people attended the event, based on meal ticket sales. He said Sanskriti has improved every year. I ' ve been here for the last two Sanskritis, Sankararaman said. This year, there was a lot of diversity in the programs. Before, there was a lot of dancing, but this year there was a good mix of things with the fashion show. ISA members also performed skits depicting ancient Indian fables and sang traditional songs. Overall, Sankararaman said the event went well — especially the customary meal catered by Globe Indian Cuisine from Topeka. Almost everyone liked the food, Sankararaman said. The food was the highlight of the whole thing.

A number of American students, faculty and ISA members attended, which Sankararaman said he hoped would continue. I hope the trend is growing, so hopefully next year we ' ll have even more American people come, he said. A friend invited Matthew Pauley, junior in journalism and mass communications, to attend. Although many programs were not in Eng- lish, Pauley said he still found the performances entertaining.

Once a month, students crowded the room for a night of fast, in- your-face, student-written theater. Hosts Tara Bauer, senior in theater, and George Stavropoulos, junior in theater, pumped-up the crowd and started the night with a skit. It ' s kind of like the rush you get from going onstage, Bauer said. We pump ourselves up before going out, but once we get out there, it ' s not really hard getting everyone excited. We really feed off of the audience and it just builds. Before each program began, student playwrights left copies of their work on the stage floor to be selected, at random, by volunteers from the audience to perform. All student scripts were submitted anonymously. I think that it ' s part of the mystique, Vi Tran, graduate student in speech, said. If it weren ' t anonymous, it would add a competitive ele- ment. It ' s more objective, more fair this way. This way anyone can do it, doesn ' t matter who you know, who you don ' t know, if you have talent or not or if you ' re in the theater department or not. Each play consisted of one act, a handful of characters and as much comedy as the script could handle. On the Monday before each event, the hosts announced a theme for playwrights to use as a starting point. They don ' t release it until the week of the show because they don ' t want people to stew on their ideas, Tran said. They want it to be fresh, so it will have that panicked, last-minute quality to it. Although volunteers from the audience act out the short plays, the scripts themselves were the real stars of Midnite Madness. The best part is how spontaneous the scripts are, Anthony Heiman, junior in apparel marketing and design, said. You don ' t know what it ' s going to be like until you get up there and start reading. Waiting for her lines, Sarah Bode, senior in theater, reads along with Anthony Heiman, junior in apparel marketing and design, at Midnite Mad- ness. Audience volunteers who acted the scripts out did not know what to expect until they were on stage.

The show ' s two hosts, Ryan Cloyd, juni or in psychology, and Matthew Hunt, senior in agri- cultural economics, introduced contestants and drew raffle tickets for audience door prizes. Those who donated canned food or money before the show, Nov. 11, were entered in the raffle. During the show, we did a game where we listed all of the sponsors except for two, Cloyd said, and audience members who could spot which two we didn ' t mention got prizes. Hosts found ways to work sponsors ' names into introduc- tions of each act. We asked each of the con- testants questions beforehand and used some of their answers to introduce them and mention a sponsor or two, Cloyd said. For instance, we asked one girl what her favorite TV show was, and she said, ' Seinfeld. ' We said we liked that show, too and that they were always in a coffee shop and that the closest thing we had to that here was Java, which was one of our sponsors. The competition consisted of three categories: vocal, variety and vocal with accompaniment. Each awarded first and second place prizes. Eleven candidates vied for the $50 first-place prize. Second place winners received $35 gift certificates to area businesses. Trista Stone, junior in fine arts, was voted overall winner. The overall winner is given the title of K- State ' s Idol — very prestigious, Lauren Cox, UPC special events assistant chair, said. Multicultural Business! Student Association That, and they get 50 bucks. The audience appreciated the show. I thought it was well put together, Rebecca Nichols, freshman in pre- health, said. It had a lot of really good talent. I thought the whole thing went really well. Since it was the first time UPC organized this type of event, the planning and production staff did not know exactly what to expect. We were very pleased by the feedback we got from the audi- ence, Cox, sophomore in mass communications, said. We really didn ' t know what kind of crowd we were going to get or how people would like it. The feedback we got was very positive, so we are definitely planning to bring it back again next year. .Multicultural Student Council During the K-State Idol competition, Trislo Stone, junior in fine arts, sings to the crowd in Forum Hall.

This was not the scene of a Hollywood gala, but rather the annual Engineering Ball at the K- State Alumni Center, Nov. 8. It was a lot more glitzy this year, Erin E. Green, senior in chemical engineering, said. A lot more presentation went into it, and that made it a lot more fun. The glamorous atmosphere was not the only change awaiting the more than 100 students who attended. This year, the ball combined with the Seaton Society Dinner, a banquet and awards presentation for engineering alumni. Interacting with alumni was a welcome addition. Green said. It was beneficial getting to know famous engineers who ' ve gone to K- State and seeing what they ' ve done with their careers, she said. I think some people even made job prospects from it. Kristine Sheedy, Engineering Ball director, said that was the response she hoped students would have. People hadn ' t been getting so excited about the ball, Sheedy, senior in industrial engineering, said. So, to spice things up and get people more involved, we decided to bring them together into one, big event. Students were getting dressed up, so we figured they were going to go out to eat anyway, and the alumni enjoy interacting with students. Erinn Morray, senior in industrial engineering, said she agreed the dinner-dance combo improved on past Engineering Balls. There was more mingling going on, Morray said. Before, it just seemed like the students kind of lined the wall. The Vaughn Bolton Orchestra provided live music while couples swirled and twirled to everything from polka to jazz. A ballroom dancing novice, Morray said she opted to stay off the dance floor, but did take full advantage of the dessert table. The highlight was the chocolate fountain, Morray said. I was impressed by it. David Edward Thompson, senior in electrical engineering, was equally impressed. It was a multi-tiered fountain, and, rather than water, it was flowing with chocolate, Thompson said. They had strawberries and bananas to dip in the chocolate. Thompson said the main draw of the evening was having the chance to do something special with his wife. Amity, senior in history. I went because I wanted to get dressed up and go to dinner with my wife, he said.

Photo by Emily Hopper by Lindsay Porter Queer- Straight Alliance members form strong bonds during social activities Twelve students, divided into teams of three, competed in a scaven- ger hunt, Nov. 16, as members of the Queer- Straight Alliance searched for 10 items at homes of four allies. The purpose was to get to know some allies they normally wouldn ' t see at the meeting and to interact with people in a different setting than the Union meeting-room, Heath Harding, QSA ally, said. We get to see people as multidimensional folks. Most items on the list commonly appeared in households: a tooth- pick, a twist-tie or a can of corn. Other items, like a 9V battery or blank videocassette, were harder to find. Two items, however, were specific to the organization. There were a lot of random items that were obscure, but would be in a house, QSA President Leigh Fine, junior in chemistry, said. Then there were items that were deliberate, like something rainbow- colored and a gay-lesbian-bisexual-transgender-themed magazine. Groups had two hours to collect items and return to Union Station. We didn ' t find a blank videocassette, but everything else was easy, Maggie Sebelius, senior in mass communication, said. QSA regularly met twice a month — once for business matters and once as a social event.

Having this group on campus is very affirming. Even if you choose not to participate in the organization, you know there are students who are out and proud and that can make a difference on campus. Dan Stahl, freshman in English, said the organization allowed him to meet other people in his position. It is a new opportunity, he said. For me — fresh out of the closet — QSA knocked down a lot of doors by meeting queer people and queer- friendly people. Fine said the organization had been building and growing. We had a problem with attendance and getting people to partici- pate, Fine said. That was something this officer group has worked on, to create a community atmosphere that ' s safe and a fun place. QSA spoke to groups about their experiences in the gay community. A group of four or five of us go in front of a class or group and tell our coming out stories and have the audience ask questions, Maggie Sebelius said. It helps a lot because a lot of people have a preconceived notion about us. It helps people realize there are gay people on the K- State campus. roiect Safe Zone Faculty, staff and students could request signs and bookmarks that had a picture of Willie the Wildcat superimposed over an inverted pink triangle. Those who displayed the signs and book- marks pledged to be understanding, supportive and trustworthy if a queer student or colleague needed help, advice or someone to talk to. Project supporters avoided heterosexist assumptions, confronted homophobia, used inclusive language and believed K-State was enriched by diversity.

Student Friends president and senior in geology Marie Konarik said members did not have the resources to donate money to the museum, but they donated time to projects aimed to purchase and maintain artwork. We help get the museum ' s name out to the public, Andrew Kowal, junior in management, said. It ' s fun to do and you sup- port the museum.

Compared to last year ' s five-against-five game, only three students and two faculty members came to play in the second annual game at the Chester E. Peters Recreational Center, Nov. 16. It wasn ' t quite the same turnout, Christine Baker, president and senior in political science, said. We were a little disappointed. We should have probably publicized the game more. Despite the small turnout, John Filter, adviser and associate pro- fessor of political science, and William Richter, professor of political science, faced -off against Baker and political science students Scott Minneman, senior, and Laura Wood, sophomore. The facuhy lost 11-7. We were a little outnumbered and a little slower, Filter said. Our wisdom couldn ' t compete with the youthful energy on the court. Baker said the basketball game was a chance for students and faculty to socialize. It is just to have fun in an out-of-classroom setting, she said. It is an opportunity to get to know the faculty and maybe take out a little aggression on them on the basketball court. We had a great time. Since the game did not last long, Minneman and Richter played a game of one -on -one. Richter lost 11-7 after Minneman hit several outside jump shots. Mr. Richter was a lot better than I thought, Minneman said. He surprised me a little. It was a good time, and I didn ' t mind winning. Richter, who occasionally played basketball with Kansas State faculty members at Ahearn Field House over the lunch hour, said he expected to lose the match 11-0. I was glad I was able to score some points, he said. The basketball game gives me a chance to meet students that I wouldn ' t otherwise get to know in the classroom. Political science professor William Richter, goes up for a rebound under the watchful eye of one of his opponents, Laura Wood, sophomore in political science. The student team won, but it was close, Christine Baker, president and senior in political sci- ence, said, and the faculty team managed to hold their own, much to the student team ' s surprise.

LAN attendees heard from Jonathan Williams, a professional gamer known as Fatality, who spoke about his experiences playing computer games professionally. He started the evening by telling every- one, thanks for having me out here. I ' m going to hove a pretty good time killing you. Photo by Drew Rose Pulsing techno music, the warm glow of more than 100 com- puters and students with nametags reading Metal and Tweak contributed to the ambiance of the K- State Gamers Board ' s LAN party at K-State- Salina, Aug. 29. After listening to keynote speaker Jonathan Williams, a professional com- puter gamer known as Fatality, attend- ees settled in for a night of computer games, such as CounterStrike and Command and Conquer Generals, that lasted until 6 a.m. I came to play Fatality and get my ass kicked, Nicholas Hintz, freshman in professional pilot, said. I ' ll play whatever game he ' s playing. Before the LAN party started, Williams, introduced as the Queer-Straight Alliance battle mode No. 1 professional gamer in the world, spoke about his experiences playing video games and described overseas tournaments he partici- pated in. It was just like the Olympics, Williams said about a tourna- ment in South Korea. They had the national anthem playing in the background. It was like I was a rock star. Tweak, aka Kevin Gorman, club treasurer and senior in com- puter science technology, and other KGB members staffed the event. In addition to random giveaways, KGB provided pizza, soda and half-hour game updates. KGB ' s first activity of the year, the LAN party was the biggest event since the club ' s inception in spring 2002. We started really small in the residence halls with five or six computers, Gorman said. Now it ' s nuts. Lindsey Wilcox, senior in computer science, said LAN par- ties had the potential to get wild. There ' s one guy here who screams like a girl, Wilcox said. There ' s trash talking — it ' s kind of expected. Wilcox experienced the LAN party from a unique perspec- tive — she was one of only three women present. It ' s a little bit intimidating, but it lets me make a statement, Wilcox said. Last year, I came in here, and I made some of them regret they ever picked on a woman. It ' s like a peaceful con- frontation, even though you ' re killing people. After less than a year, KGB boasted the largest club mem- bership on the K- State -Salina campus, Gorman said. It ' s good to see a club flour- ishing like this, Wilcox said. We put Salina on the map.

Photo by Kelly Glasscock 210norganizations politicians versus journalists FOOTBALL by Matt Gorney With a 28-0 lead over the Student Governing Association team, and only 30 minutes to play, the Collegian team looked for a shutout football game. During the game at Memorial Stadium, David Skretta, Collegian sports editor and junior in mass communications, said it looked like a blow out. It ' s probably going to be a lot like Texas A M and Oklahoma by the end, Skretta said, referring to the 77-0 Oklahoma victory. We ' ll prob- ably start downing it at the end. However, the Collegian versus SGA football game was not over. Although SGA found the end zone — setting off a scoring frenzy with three SGA touchdowns and two Collegian touchdowns in 19 min- utes — the Collegian maintained the lead and won, 42-21. Skretta said the football game was an obvious choice because of the university and time of year. It ' s K- State, and it ' s a football school, he said. Plus, it ' s perfect weather. It ' s a natural thing, I guess. Not the first football game between the two organizations, the two have not faced off in more than four years. The prize, an engraved, traveling trophy, dated back to the previous time the two teams played each other. Student Body President John O ' Hara said when SGA was challenged, he had to accept. After the loss, O ' Hara, senior in finance, said SGA played hard but he was still disappointed. They played better than us and they deserved to win, he said. Hopefully we ' ll get a chance to practice before we play next year. Amy Preston, Collegian senior staff writer, said she played because she wanted to show her Collegian pride, but her favorite moment came at the expense of a Collegian columnist, who was also a student senator and played on the SGA team. (I played) because I ' m the tomboy of the newsroom and I love to play, Preston said. I think the best part was me depantsing Zach Hauser, (freshman in business administration), only to find he didn ' t have anything on underneath. Even though the game was non-tackle, players occasionally hit the turf after attempting to catch passes or stop runners. I was diving for a tackle on the Collegian offender and I took a bite out of the turf, Layton Ehmke, senior in mass communication, said. (The best part) was learning how to bleed and take it like a man. It feels good to bleed, man. It feels real good to bleed. Ehmke said he was surprised SGA did not play better. Being SGA and highly organized as we are, it didn ' t show tonight, he said. Dancing around like three-fingered sloths — that ' s what we looked like.

According to a national survey in Edu- cation Week, 54 percent of students have plagiarized from the Internet and 47 percent believe their teachers sometimes ignore students they know are cheating. Thirty-six percent of undergraduates said they had plagarized written work.

Marietta, senior in market- ing and president of Honesty and Integrity Peer Educators, said she felt the ethical standards of modern society had sunk to an all-time low. Ethics are a very important part of our culture, Marietta said. As students, we ' re going to start demanding more ethical standards from professors and the world. I think we ' re headed back up. As president of HIPE, Marietta helped orchestrate Integrity Week, April 14-18. Loni characterizes the kind of student leadership that drives this program, Provost James Coff- man, said. It ' s first and foremost a student-driven system. The third year for Integrity Week, members of HIPE teamed with the Student Governing Association ' s judicial branch to Speech Unlimited ETHr-S expand the event ' s festivities and reach a wider audience. I think (working with SGA) was a very integral part of this year ' s event, Marietta said. We were talking about integrity, not only for students in the classroom, but in life. In addition to involving an other campus organization in Integrity Week, HIPE members invited Mike Adams, former Piper High School principal, to address students April 14. Adams, who resigned as prin- cipal of Piper after a highly-pub- licized plagiarism scandal, spoke of the importance of integrity in classrooms. He pointed to the poor example set by the adult world as one of the main causes of academic dishonesty. Students see parents cheating and receive a slap on the wrist, Adams said. We do set very poor examples. I think kids today are looking to adults in society for byJaciBoydston a moral compass. They don ' t see why they should be held to a higher standard. Adams described a phenom- enon he referred to as grade inflation, where the number of As increased, but scores on stan- dardized tests decreased. He said students should be willing to work for their grades and accept the consequences of any bad decisions they make. Marietta said she agreed students needed good examples to help prevent cheating. For some people, it ' s a situa- tion where they don ' t even think about cheating because they know they shouldn ' t, Marietta said. That ' s great, but could you vocalize it? It ' s become so easy to cut and paste stuff off the Inter- net. Technology is great, and it has made our lives a lot easier, but at the same time, I think we still need to use our heads. We can ' t let computers think for us. Steel Ring! Engineering Honor Society m il Front row; Cory Sears, Melissa Broeckelman, Robin Ronnebaum, Julia Stos- kopf, Hillary Hoover, Kevin Keatley.

Peters Recreation Complex when students participated in Up ' Til Dawn ' s final event, March 28, 2003. Throughout the year. Up ' Til Dawn events raised $135,025 for St. Jude Children ' s Research Hospital, the highest amount among all participating universities. Sol Pettit-Scott, 2002-03 executive director, said he felt blessed and was not ready for Up ' Til Dawn to be finished for the year. I really enjoyed my time with Up ' Til Dawn, Pettit-Scott, senior in chemical engineering, said. I see this as a one-year success right now. We ' ve already raised the bar nationally. During the evening, attendees saw Classy Cats perform and heard speeches from a St. Jude patient ' s family and Dean of Student Life Pat Bosco, who said he had never seen anything like Up ' Til Dawn. About 700 students divided into teams to participate in Up ' Til Students party late into the night to celebrate raising money for St. Jude ' s Hospital Dawn events. Each team ' s goal was to raise $750. Out of 100 teams, 59 raised more than $1,000. I loved (the event), Caitlin Faddis, junior in journalism and mass communications, said. I went because I knew how much effort my team put in. Faddis said the philanthropy was important because students had opportunities to live lives patients may not have had. She also said everyone should want to participate. The best part was probably the very end when they made the announcement of how much we raised and gave the check to one of the families, she said. It ' s great that we did it for St. Jude ' s, and I can ' t wait for next year. To build group unity, people learned a morale dance at each Up ' Til Dawn event. The dance was different at each location and was choreographed before the event. I think that the morale dance was really fun, and I found myself laughing the whole time, said Kathryn Van Keuren, junior in secondary education. Everyone took to it — it was really worth it. Van Keuren, executive director, said she wanted to reach out to all corners of the university and use the philanthropy to bring the campus together. Instead of communicating with the board directly, each team had a morale captain who acted as a liaison between the team and those in charge of the program. The job involved communication and maintaining team spirit, said Heather O ' Connor, sophomore in fine arts and morale captain. O ' Connor said Up ' TU Dawn was positive for K-State. There are not words to describe it — it ' s amazing, she said. I ' m so glad we started doing it at K-State. It adds a lot to our school. Pettit-Scott said Up ' Til Dawn had an impact on life at K-State. People ' s perspectives have changed, Pettit-Scott said. It ' s a true representation of the students at K-State.  - , 2 1 4 D organizations fr w il A J- - r Vii r. «••« oJI i ,11 ..e r Caitlin Foddis, junior in journalism and moss com- munications, and Jennifei VincenI, junior in marketing, celebrate at Up ' Til Dawn after raising money to help St. Jude Children ' s Research Hospital.

HALO offered an opportunity for students to experience salsa dancing and other Latin dance styles in Union Station. It was the final activity of Hispanic Heritage Month, Sept. 15 to Oct. 15. Tickets to the event cost $2.50 for singles and $4 for couples. I danced a hole in my toe, Austin McCabe, senior in elementary education, said. I had the wrong shoes and danced through a blister — that ' s the price you pay, though. McCabe, who had previous salsa dancing experience, was among the first to arrive and showed inexperienced dancers some moves. 1 just share with them what I know — then they are involved, McCabe said. I had a feeling of accomplishment, and I have more people to dance with. Yvonne Adame, sophomore in mass communication, said she attended because she was a HALO member. It was awesome, Adame said. We had a great turnout. At one point, the style of music changed from a Latin beat to rap, which prompted some to leave the dance floor and others to come off the sidelines, and begin to dance. continued on page 218 2 1 6 □ organizations Sigifredo Castro, gradu- ate student in chemical engineering, twirls Andrea Mendoza, junior in fine arts, during Hispanic American Leadership Orgzanization ' s Grande Baile.

Approximately 160 students attended, Naureen Kazi, junior in journalism and mass communications, said. Kazi, president of HALO, said the dance offered students an opportunity to do something different on a Friday night. Latin pop culture has become more visible, Kazi said. (The dance) was something new to do that they don ' t see every week. McCabe said she was glad to have the opportunity to teach other people and was happy not to be the only person out on the dance floor. She also said she was fond of salsa dancing and enjoyed doing it whenever an opportunity arose. Every so often, someone comes up with a reason for us to do Latin on campus, McCabe said. I really like it. She said she would be better prepared the next time she salsas.

SafeZone was a program to provide safe zones where members of the campus community could show support for individuals affected by verbal or physical violence. SafeZone Allies were trained through the Campaign for Non-Vio- lence and the Women ' s Center. Students and faculty who attended an hour-long introductory session became allies. The goal is to work at non-violence from a different perspective, Dorinda Lambert, associate director of counseling services, said. Yes, you want to help the victim, but we ' re creating a visible environment to help with the skills from all of us. You ' re not expected to become a therapist. Thirty students and facuhy completed beginner training, March 3. The group listened to speakers talk about hate, community, victims of sexual assault, the importance of helping, and the gay, lesbian, bisexual and trans-gendered perspective. Lambert said part of being an ally was being open to talk to people. The ally role is to have the knowledge to listen, be supportive and direct them to the appropriate resources, she said. We ' re all trained to be nice, but we think it ' s our responsibility to take care of everything. You ' re not a therapist, but there are things you can do to help them get connected. After participants of the March 3 workshop completed the training, there were 160 allies at K- State. Mary Todd, assistant director of the SAFEZONE by Lindsay Porter Women ' s Center, said she hoped the default environment soon would be a safe zone. It promotes non-violence, Pheasant Weber, sophomore in open- option and SafeZone ally, said. If you have a problem, you have a safe place to go. Lambert said the most important aspect of SafeZone was giving people hope. There are answers to be found, she said. They have support through a good network of allies. Let them know you are ta king out your heart and offering to help. Besides helping, another part of the SafeZone program was referral. Through the SafeZone network, an ally needed to know where to refer someone if they could not directly help them. Weber said since her participation in the program, no one came to her to speak in a safe zone, but she displays the SafeZone sticker on her residence hall room door and wore a non-violent pin on her backpack. I hope that if a resident in the dorms had a problem they would come to me and I could help them out, she said. I have the resources to help them. The SafeZone training ended with Scott Jones, assistant dean of student life, speaking about community. We have to make a commitment to live life undivided, he said. We also need to challenge others to be authentic. The principles of community go beyond a list of do nots. They are aspirational values. ..Swimming Club Fronf row: Melanie Sullivan, Melissa Haug, Courtney Townsend, Erin Schmidt, Jessica Meyer.

Never mind they were not getting paid. Darin Richardson, junior in business administration, said not get- ting paid was one of the things that made K- State Singers special. The reason we do that is so that we can keep a separate entity from the college, Richardson said. We can go around and say, ' We ' re here because we love K- State and we love performing, and that ' s why we ' re here. ' K- State Singers, which celebrated its 50th anniversary in 2004, was a small ensemble that performed at university events and various venues throughout the state, some of which required hours of traveling. The group performed between 15 and 20 times a year and spent 10 hours a week practicing, Richardson said. You just have to plan your life around it, Christy Bebermeyer, senior in elementary education, said. It is a lot of work, so there ' s a lot of class time I miss. All the professors work really well with us — you just have to have good time management. The group practiced Mondays through Thursdays from 3:30 to 5:30 p.m., because, in the past, no classes were scheduled after 3:30 p.m., Richardson said. Laura Buessing, junior in nutrition and exercise science, said although the workload could become difficult, the benefits of being a Singer made it worthwhile. I kind of run out of time, Buessing said. Not only did I decide to take human body (an eight credit-hour class) this semester, I also decided to get a job. It ' s been a lot of time, but it ' s something you get addicted to. continued on page 224 222 □ organizations Michelle Matthews, sopho- more in family studies and human services, practices the Alka-Seltzer song in the K-Stote Singers ' commercial medley during an after- noon practice in McCain Auditorium.

For me, and for many other people in the group, it ' s not an obliga- tion, Buessing said. This is our recess of the day. After being in class for how many hours, we get to come to practice and stand and sing and goof off. I say K- State Singers keeps me sane. Singers spent time together outside of rehearsals and performances as well. We go to parties together, Darin Richardson said. We even had our own Thanksgiving supper. We ' re really close friends. Part of the group ' s therapeutic effects could be contributed to the close-knit bonds between group members, Christy Bebermeyer said. Personally, it ' s like going to class with all your best friends, she said. I have some very close friends in Singers.

Photo by Kelly Glasscock Whether an athlete played on a varsity, club or intramural team, sports united stu- dents of all ages, all majors and all ethnicities toward one common purpose — to win. Club teams struggled to generate funding and fan support for their programs, but athletes maintained a positive outlook and love of the game. For the varsity sports, it was a year of new heights. The tennis team competed further into the NCAA tournament than anytime in the history of the program. The volleyball team won its first 30-win season and claimed its first Big 12 Conference title. And after losing three straight games, two to conference opponents, the football team turned around and won six to qualify for and win the Big 12 Championship. Intramural sports offered students camaraderie in still competitive but less demanding games and tournaments. Dedicated fans influenced sports through continual support and outstanding spirit. Whether varsity or club, athlete or fan, sports allowed all involved to experience the thrill of victory and the anguish of defeat together. 226 □sports I Junior outside hitter Valeria Hejjos goes up to moke a kill during the first match against Colorado, Oct. 18.

We ' d hit well one game and wouldn ' t play defense and wouldn ' t pitch well. Nothing ever really clicked at one time. The Cats did not pull out of the slump until they took two of a three -game series against Texas Tech. Winning the series was good because we were healthier pitching wise and had Brett Bagley back, Coach Mike Clark said, but by that time we had Ty (Soto) and Gabe (Luttrell) out. By the time we were getting healthier on the pitching side we were beat up on the position -player side. Despite breaking the 16 -game losing streak, the Cats fell into another slide, dropping 10 games before taking one from Okla- homa. Senior first baseman Tim Doty said the losing streak was just part of the game all the Wildcats had committed themselves to. I had no idea this was going to happen, he said. Coming into the season we had a lot of guys back and we figured we ' d be able to play really well, but this is base- ball and this is what happens. In the midst of adversity, seven games short of a complete season, Clark announced his resigna- tion, effective when his contract expired at the end of the season.

It was the best season I have had in the four years. I ' m really happy I got to finish like that. For her accomplishments, Sedlmajerova was named to the Big 12 All- Conference Tennis Team twice, once as a singles player and again in doubles. Cats also gained off- court accolades after their season was cut short in the Round of 16. Four Cats were named to the 2003 Tennis Academic All-Big 12 team: Sedlmajerova, Castillejos and sophomores Maria Rosenberg and Andrea Cooper. To qualify for first-team honors, members had to maintain a mini- mum 3.2 GPA. It was Sedlmajerova ' s third trip to the first-team and Castillejo ' s first time on the team after being named to the second-team in 2002. Team members were not the only ones who received awards during 2002. Assistant coach Andres Gonzalez was named Omni Hotels ' ITA Central Region Assistant Coach of the Year. In his second year at K- State, Gonzalez helped the Cats to a 27-16 overall mark and a 13-9 Big 12 record. Andres is an excellent and deserving coach for this award, Coach Steve Bietau said. He has made a huge difference with the team and the program. It has been a pleasure to work with him the last two years and I ' m looking forward to next season. tennis □ 235 DEUCE Boucher, Smith lead team in two record- breaking performances by Andi Rice During the NCAA Women ' s Central Regional in Lincoln, Neb., junior Keren Quinte- lier hits her second shot on Hole 1 5.

We ore going to prove that we can. Photo by Matt Stamey Things came in twos for the women ' s golf team: two players ranked in the top of the Big 12 Conference and two strokes stopped the team from going to the NCAA National Tournament. With first- team, all-Big- 12 junior Christine Boucher and senior Miranda Smith leading the team as the No. 4 and No. 19 ranked players in the Big 12, Coach Kristi Knight said she had confidence for the season. I was just fortunate enough that I had two players who played really well in Christine and Miranda, Knight said. It ' s a matter of how the other girls step up and help out, but this year 1 had two of the best play- ers in the Big 12 on my team and that really helped out. The team finished their five-tournament fall schedule with two record-breaking performances. Cats captured the Sunflower Invitational title and placed second out of 17 in the Edwin Watt Invitational where they broke the record for 18-hole team score. They ended the final round with a score of 286. Boucher captured the indi- vidual title by shooting a three- day total of 204 and breaking the school record for best round with a 64 in the final round. I was pretty happy with the way I played, Boucher said. I hit the ball closer to the greens and I putted well throughout the tournament. In the spring, the team placed in the top of the competition at all six tournaments, including a sixth-place finish at the Big 12 tournament. For the third time in school history, the team went to the regional tournament where they came up two strokes short of qualifying the team for nationals. We had accomplished so many of our goals that it was hard to think that this was our last tournament, junior Karen Quintelier said. It feels good that it was that close. I mean I ' d rather say we were two strokes away instead of 200, but at the same time it makes you look back and say, ' if only I could save this. ' But you can ' t have the ' what ifs ' back. Boucher was the only Cat to qualify for nationals with a fifth-place finish at the regional tournament. She was the first Wildcat to qualify for the NCAA Championship Finals and finished the tournament with a 311. Her performance at the finals marked the tournament ' s first under- par round with a one-under 71 on her third day of competition. 236 a sports During the NCAA Women ' s Central Regional Tourna- ment, senior Stephanie I ni, O ' i ! reacts to her approach shot on Hole 15 at Firehorn Golf Club, Lincoln, Neb.

J. Elgert tees off, starting fiis round in tfie NCAA Men ' s Golf Central Regional at Colbert Hills Golf Course, May 15. As the year went on, I think that the [regional) tournament became more of a focus, Czech Ti - Norrts said, and obviously we hod to qualify to play in the regional and that ' s something Kansas Slate hasn ' t done in 10 years. I think just that (alone) was a pretty significant accomplishment. Photo by Lindsey Bauman The high and low came at the same time for the Wildcats when they were a stroke short at the regional tournament, Coach Tim Norris said. It was a three-round tournament, he said. Every round there was a shot or two that could have helped us get over the hump and not be quite so much on the bubble, but the guys did a great job of putting everything behind them and playing their hearts out on that last day. After three days at Colbert Hills Golf Course, the Cats finished with a score of 872, eight over par, and one stroke shy of the No. 10 spot that went to Wichita State University. We knew we had to play well and we knew that we were going to have to shoot eight or nine under for the day, and the team actually came through and shot eight under, junior Aaron Watkins said. We still missed it, but we can ' t really think of it like that. We come off thinking only positive that we even made it that far and that we had the chance to go to nationals — taking into consider- ation that the conference we were in ranked us 26 or 27 and we were up there fighting with the top 10. With five consistent players, the Wildcats were in a tough field of com- petition, Norris said, finishing in the top half in 11 of 14 tournaments. It doesn ' t matter if you are playing 1, 2, 3, 4 or 5, because you know the 5-guyisgoingto shoot just as good as your 1 -guy and that just gives you a lot of confidence, Watkins said. That ' s huge because a lot of other teams don ' t have five players they can completely trust on a level to know that they are all going to be playing good. Watkins and junior A.J. Elgert were the only players with Division I experience on the team, Norris said. All the other guys played phenomenal considering they didn ' t really have any Division I experience, like Matt Van Cleave and a couple fresh- men who came through, Watkins said. Having Division I experience makes you a little smarter on the golf course. K- State ended No. 55 in the Sagarin Rankings, 14 spots higher than 2002. Obviously we have to look at it as a success, junior Matt VanCleave said. It kind of leaves us with that taste in our mouth and we want to go out and play in nationals next year and win a few tournaments. It ' s going to give us the motivation to go out and work hard in the summer and come out strong in the fall. Front row: Matt Van Cleave, Aaron Watkins, Ben Kern, AJ.

Photo by Kelly Glasscock men ' s golf n 239 roblems overcome by dedicated athletes by Andi Rice Without an exterior facility to practice on, the outdoor track team ' s season was weighed down by unexpected injuries, Coach Clif Roveho said. I don ' t like to make excuses, and I don ' t want to, Rovelto said, but, the reality is that we had some stress fractures that we haven ' t had in the past. We basically had to train with some kids indoor all year long. In the fall of 2002 when R.V. Christian Track was torn out, the facil- ity had one usable long- jump pit, one pole-vault pit and two shot-put rings. The javelin throwers could only throw one direction to prevent interference with the high jumpers, and runners had room to warm up. The track was scheduled to be rebuilt for the 2003 season, but due to inclement weather, the project was pushed back. Part of the problem was weather, part of the problem was equip- ment and part of the problem was just some other logistical things, Rovelto said. The early fall was pretty wet. It seemed to always be wet when we needed it to be dry. By the end of the season — when other schools peaked and put forth At the NCAA Division I 2003 Outdoor Track and Field Midwest Regional in Lincoln, Neb., Croig Smith, graduate student in agri- cultural economics, throws for the men ' s javelin rack.

Photo by Lindsey Bauman their best performances for the Big 12 Championship meet, Regionals and the NCAA National Championship — the Wildcats just hoped for everyone to be healthy, Rovelto said. Despite injuries, he said team members who competed performed well. With both teams at the conference meet, our finish wasn ' t impacted by someone not going out there and not performing as much as it was by those who weren ' t there or those who were coming off of injuries or whatever, Rovelto said. The kids who were healthy performed well and a lot of our young kids performed well, so I was pleased from that standpoint. On the women ' s side, seniors Amy Mortimer and Rebekah Green, and sophomores Morgan High and Chaytan Hill consistently earned points in scoring meets. Mortimer, who finished her eligibility at K- State, went out on a high note as she broke Deb Pihl ' s 20-year school record in the 1,500-meter continued on page 243 Amy Mortimer, senior, leads in the 1500 meters at the NCAA Division I Outdoor Track Field Midwest Regional in Lincoln, Neb.

We should have had seven athletes here, but partly because we ' ve been training indoor all year, and because they didn ' t get the outdoor track finished in time, it helped lead to some injuries, Karas said. (The season) would have been a lot better except for some circumstances. Lancaster finished fourth in the high jump with a jump of 7-3.25, which also earned him All-American status. I felt like this was one of our best men ' s teams ever and 1 still believe that, Rovelto said. Even though we placed 10th at the confer- ence meets outdoors, it was one of the best teams we ' ve had in terms of covering events and quality of depth in events and so forth. We just had, whatever you want to call it, bad luck or whatever. It just didn ' t come together at the end.

By the end of the season, none lingered as both the English and western equestrian teams placed in national competition. I had a lot of returners who I knew were confident, Head Coach Lindsay Breidenthal said. As far as the new riders coming in, I didn ' t know how they would compete and I was hoping for the best. We had some highs and we had some very lows, and we ended up pulling through it. Switched from Region 2, Zone 7 to Region 2, Zone 9 by the American Quarter Horse Associa- tion to spread growth east, K- State dominated the competition by winning Zone 9 and Regional More story on the DVD located in the back of the yearbook. championships. We had the potential to go further in our new region, Assis- tant Coach Meghan Cunningham said. We ' ve had a lot more wins and a lot more publicity. But on the other hand — on the negative side — we didn ' t know how good we were until postseason and we started facing tougher competi- tion and that ' s when the reality check has to come. The western team won its Zone 9 Championship by 31 points and the English team won by 48 points, which marked the first time either team won Zone 9. That was the first time we went in knowing nothing about the horses and nothing about the competition, Cunningham said. It was really the first time that we Preparing to groom her horse, junior western rider Brondi Vogel removes the saddle at Fox Creek Stables, Vogel spent count- less hours training for the IHSA National Champion- ship and placed fourth.

The facility allows us to practice year-round, Head Coach Lindsay Breidenthal said. It also houses five of our horses that cannot go out to the pasture. The equestrian team practiced at Fox Creek because it did not have its own facility. When we moved there, they were one of the very few indoor facili- ties in Manhattan, Breidenthal said. They offered to let us house at their facility, so we accepted their offer. Fox Creek Stables were constructed from canvas. A spacious facility.

Fox Creek had both indoor and outdoor sand arenas that made it easy for the team to work, Kristin Tanney, junior in agriculture educa- tion, said. Fox Creek is definitely big enough for us and our shows, Tanney said. But we have to bring in bleachers for places to sit.

I am tremendously proud and thankful for the hard work that liter- ally hundreds of individuals have generously contributed toward build- ing the program to this level, Hale said. With the continued support and funding of this sport and the completion of the new team facility, the program ' s success will no doubt continue. Enter Patrick Sweeney, who said he hoped to build off that success. He was hired two months later, July 30, to take over as head coach of the program. She did something I could not do in creating this program from scratch, Sweeney said. At the same time this program is not quite there. We have a long way to go. Having been in rowing for more than 27 years, Sweeney ' s last stop had been assistant coach of the Stanford University Cardinal rowing team. Sweeney said although K- State rowing had known no other coach since its inception as a club sport and its advancement to intercollegiate athletics, he felt K- State was the right fit for him. It was just trying to find out how things work here, how they are done at Kansas State, he said. It took a good month to get used to everything and it ' s getting easier every week. I really felt that the team was ready for a change and I was looking for a good college and a good place to live. With stints in England and Belgium on the international level, and a wide variety of college rowing programs, Sweeney ' s experience made him director of athletics Tim Weiser ' s pick as the best candidate for the job. We are excited about the addition of Patrick to Kansas State, Weiser said. He brings an impressive resume which includes not only success at the collegiate level but at the international and Olympic levels. He will pro- vide excellent leadership in helping our rowing program move forward. Continuing the momentum from its spring season, the team had solid performances in the fall season, finishing with four top-five fin- ishes at the Head of the Des Moines, three top- 10 finishes at the Head of the Iowa and capping the fail season off with a Sunflower Showdown victory, Nov. 8, at Tuttle Creek Reservoir. Sweeney said it was one of the best college rowing crowds he had seen. We have to keep developing what we ' ve got, Sweeney said. Keep improving our attitudes because hard work is in the preparation. We could be better, but we have to realize how much better we can be. ■ Just the facts , ' r, Head of the Des Moines 8 Plus Team A 2nd 8 Plus Team B 5th o 4 Plus Team A 4th rr 4 Plus Team B 3rd iO 4 Plus Team C 12th Z 4 Plus Team D 8th LU o Head of the Iowa 8 Plus Team A 5th 8 Plus Team B 11th Novice 8 Team A 3rd Novice 8 Team B 6th Sunflower Showdown 8 Plus Team A 1st 8 Plus Team B 1st 4 Plus Team A 2nd Novice 8 Race 1 1st Novice 8 Ra ce 2 1st Novice 8 Race 3 A 1st Novice 8 Race 3 B 2nd 5 Members of the women ' s rowing team race across Tuttle Creek Reservoir during the first novice race of the second consecutive Sunflower Showdown in Manhattan.

It showed that I was prepared. Culbertson also earned a trip to the championships after her ninth- place finish in the Midwest Regional Championship. Chesang finished 127th out of 254 runners and Culbertson finished 165th out of 252 runners at the championship meet. At the end of the season. Coach Randy Cole announced his decision to leave K- State after seven years. The decision came as a surprise to some team members, Culbertson said. Assistant coach Mike Smith was named the new head coach. He said the men ' s team did not have an exceptional season, but with a good recruiting year, it would begin to turn around. I think there were some individual highlights and successes, but overall, the team performance was kind of average, Smith said. We were not satisfied with the way we finished. We just need to get some more talented athletes. With a good recruiting year, it ' s going to look up in a couple of years. There will be no quick change. Smith said the same applied for the women ' s team. (It was a) mediocre team performance, start to finish, he said. The only change is we need to bring in more women who can run cross country competitively. Culbertson said she was looking forward to next season.

Photo by Kelly Glasscock by Wes Marfield There is an old, unspoken rule in baseball that you never talk to a pitcher if he is working on a no-hitter. Any mention of it could cause him to lose focus and worry too much about the history of the situation that is unfolding. In a nutshell, that was the story of the K- State volleyball team, who finished the season 30-5, ranked 11th in the nation. Leading up to the season, much was said about the talent of the returning seniors. Expectations of a Big 12 Championship and NCAA Tournament berth were being thrown around, leaving Coach Suzie Fritz and her players with a lot of pressure on their shoulders. All season, through 12- and 16-game winning streaks, and an unprecedented sweep of Nebraska, Fritz refused to rank the team among the best in K- State history. With the season over and focus shifted toward the 2004 group, she finally put the 2003 team where they belonged. It ' s probably time for me to go ahead and say that this was the best team that we ' ve ever had. Fritz said. They accomplished more than any team we ' ve ever had. They won a conference championship and they worked incredibly hard at it. They certainly deserved everything that came their way. Led by seniors Lauren Goehring, Laura Downey-Wallace and Kris and Cari Jensen, the Wildcats captured their first Big 12 Championship and beat Nebreaka at home for the first time ever. Fritz praised the group all season for their leadership, and claimed they were the ones responsible for turning 0-2 match deficits into victories. Watching the group grow and succeed, more than any one win or accomplishment, was the biggest thrill of the season, Fritz said. The highlights for me were watching Laura Downey progress, and for that matter, all of the seniors, Fritz said. The highlights for me are more the growth and improvement that, as a coach, you see the players make from start to finish. Those are the things that we receive a great deal of satisfaction from. Along with their first ever Big 12 Championship, the team set 12 school records including 30 wins, 18 conference wins and a 16-game winning streak. The Cats also racked up numerous individual awards. Goehring was named a first-team, Ail-American and Big 12 Player of the Year, while Downey-Wallace was chosen Big 12 Libero of the Year for the second straight year. continued on page 255 Senior libero Lauro Downey-Wolloce runs to make dig during the second match against Oklahoma, Sept. 27.

That kind of took them out of what they were trying to do offen- sively, and I thought we did a nice job defensively, especially on the block tonight- We continued to serve the boll aggressively and that played a role in disturbing them offensively.

We knew conning in that Texas was a very physical and big teann, Coach Suzie Fniz said.

The one recognition missing, and the biggest one in Fritz ' s mind, was making it into the next round of the NCAA Tournament. After beginning the season with the bitter aftertaste of the 3 - 1 home loss to Washington State in the second round of last year ' s NCAA Tour- nament, Fritz hoped to end the year on a better note. What was difficult about the Penn State match was that towards the end of the year, we were playing the best volleyball that I ' ve ever seen a Kansas State team play, Fritz said. After game one, we came out just rolling. We were playing very, very well in game one, and I think that what was difficult was that we didn ' t sustain it for the match. continued on page 256 Senior outside hitter Cor Jensen goes up to make a kill against Ohio ' s Ashley Elliott during the first round of the NCAA tournament, Dec. 5.

Another storyline for the 2003 Wildcats was their effectiveness playing at home in Ahearn Field House. Finishing with a perfect 16-0 record at home, Goehring said their success at home was due to the fact that K- State was in the Top 20 all season in terms of attendance. K- State fans gave the team an added reason to go out and give it their all, she said. The fans are great at Kansas State, Goeh- ring said. They do so much for us. They create an environment at home that ' s very difficult for opponents to play in. It ' s amazing that we have people come that enjoy watching us play. We have so many people there and it gets so loud and rowdy — it ' s just so much fun to play for people like that. Fritz also entered the season with the added responsibility of her pregnancy.

Photo by Lindsey Bauman Goehring provides team leadership, sets high standards of performance executing 1,212 career kills on the court, by Wes Marfield Lauren Goehring led the 2002 K- State volleyball team with 366 kills and a .370 hitting percent- age. But when award time came around, Goehring found herself named to the first team All -Big 12 squad and an honorable mention All- Central Region. Coach Suzie Fritz said it seemed like Goehring was getting the shaft. In 2003, however, Goehring proved doubters wrong while on her way to being named Big 12 Player of the Year and a first-team Ail-American. A year ago she put up very similar numbers as a junior and was not even recognized as being all-region, although it should have happened and it just didn ' t, Fritz said. It was a long time coming for Lauren, and she had both a fabulous junior and senior season and was well deserving of that honor. Goehring put up career numbers during the 2003 season, setting team records for single season hitting percentage, .409, and career kills, 1,212. But perhaps her biggest chal- lenge was stepping into a new leadership role along with fellow seniors Laura Downey-Wallace and Kris and Cari Jensen. To do this, Goehring looked back and used what former play- ers taught her as she was going through the program. There are different leader- ship styles that I ' ve played under, Goehring said. I picked up things that I liked and things that I didn ' t like, and, hopefully, I was a good leader to my teammates and brought out the best of all of the things that I ' ve learned from the people I feel were good leaders to me. Her career complete, Goehring left as one of the best K- State ever saw, Fritz said. She ' s for sure the best middle blocker that ' s ever played for Kansas State University and certainly one of the best players, period, that ' s ever played here, Fritz said. What stands out to me with Lauren is that she came as a good player and she ' s leaving as a great player, primarily because of the way that she approached it. What would Goehring miss the most about her career at K- State? The competition — working really hard and doing something I really enjoyed and loved doing, Goehring said.

Finally having a lighter class load, Disney was able to rejoin a team during spring semester of his sophomore year in college. This semester I had a chance to come out, and I figured it ' d be good to get back into it, Disney said. People see it as a rough and tough sport, but really it ' s almost like how an orchestra flows when the game is played right. It just sort of flows. It ' s mad chaos, but yet, there is a mean- ing to it. Tyler Pjesky, sophomore in biological and agricultural engineering, played rugby competitively for the first time in his life when he joined the club. I actually got involved through the women ' s rugby team, he said. Being around the team is fun. It ' s a rough and tough sport and that ' s the kind of stuff I like. After getting the first few practices and games out of his system, Pjesky said he adjusted to the game ' s play. It ' s a lot more chaotic when you start out, he said. There is certainly a learning curve, but it ' s pretty simple after that. It ' s just the complexity of those simple things that you have to learn. K-State ' s rugby clubs began in the 1980s and played home games at Memorial Stadium, which assistant coach lohn Allen said was a great place to play, especially with its new, artificial turf. We have arguably the best field in the country — everyone wants to come play us here, Allen said. Usually teams play one game at one team ' s field and one more at the other team ' s. Everyone just wants to come here for both games. The men practiced from 6:30 to 8 p.m. Tuesday and Thursday with most games occurring on weekends. They also lifted weights and condi- tioned together. The team built strong connections with other rubgy clubs. Anywhere you go in the world, if you tell a rugby club you ' re part of a club, they ' ll take you in, Allen said. It ' s like that everywhere you go. men ' s rugby d 261 Although sporting a disappointing record, the Women ' s Soccer Club made advances toward team long-term goals, by Erika Sauerwein Laura Cannon, freshman in kinesiology, makes a slide tackle during a September game against Missouri at Memorial Stadium.

The Women ' s Soccer Club was not proud of its losing season, but team members said the record did not tell the season ' s story. Despite a 1-14-2 record, goalkeeper Erika Greszler said the team viewed the season as a success. Our record is not representative of our season at all, Greszler, junior in secondary education, said. If we started the season playing the way we did at the end, things would be different. We would not have lost those games. We have improved a lot as a team and fought hard through the season. Allisan Butts, freshman in secondary education, said half the team ' s losses were decided by one goal. It was so frustrating, she said. The skill level of this team has improved so much from last year, but we just couldn ' t finish. We would have the chances and couldn ' t put them away. The team struggled with a lack of senior leadership and obtaining enough players to travel to away games. Head Coach David Darling said. The hardest part is getting girls to want to travel, he said. We only had 10 to 13 girls per game on the road. That ' s not enough to be success- ful, so we were usually not a competitive squad on the road. The team struggled but did make some strides. Darling said. Forty women showed up for fall tryouts and the club team planned to receive its first corporate sponsor in fall 2004. The pool of potential competition grew throughout the season. We now have a list of 28 to 30 club team contacts at different schools from Texas to Colorado to Arizona, Darling said. Next year we can play more games against different and more opponents. We will also have some financial backing there, too. Greszler said the team ' s commitment level to practice increased. The team averaged 15 more girls at each practice compared to last year. We will be a strong team next year, Greszler said. The foundation is there. There is more dedication to practice and getting better, but we still have a lot of work to do. Butts said the team has many positive things to look forward to. It is very exciting for us, she said. The team is getting more pub- licity. We will have more financial support next year and things can only get better. 262 □ sports Oving a game. Koto Birch, nior defender, a o kick the ball awa lrom a Nebraska defender.

This is a dream come true for me, Newman said. It feels great because I grew up watching the Dallas Cowboys and this is an exciting day for me. I tried not to worry about which team was going to take me It didn ' t really matter. I just wanted to play football, and I ' m thankful Dallas took me when they did. After five years at K- State, Newman gradu- ated as arguably the best player in the history of the program. Obviously, he ' s got great talent, defensive coordinator Bob Elliott said. He brings all the other things that you want in a player. He ' s got strong character, and he ' s very smart. Dallas can probably do a lot of different things with Terence. Newman became the fourth Wildcat selected in the first round and became the second highest Cat drafted in K- State history. Veryl Switzer was the highest when chosen No. 3 overall in 1954 by Green Bay. Linebacker Terry Pierce, defensive end Melvin Williams and wide receiver Taco Wallace were also drafted in 2003 to the Denver Broncos, New Orleans Saints and Seattle Seahawks, respectively. In K- State ' s 107-year football history, 124 players have been drafted to the NFL and others have been picked up as free agents. We are pleased to have youngsters in the NFL, and we ' ve got quite a few, Coach Bill Snyder said, but that is not the bottom line for our program. We are hoping that we can promote quality football here at K- State and put young people in an opportunity where they can be suc- cessful in life and get a quality education. Terence Newman returns a punt 40 yards for a touchdown in the first quarter of the Louisiana- Monroe game, Sept. 7, 2002. Newman scored two touchdowns in that game - once on a 5 1 -yard pass from Marc Dunn, and again on a 40-yard punt return.

The football team bowled to benefit former teammate Travis Brown and his battle with aplastic anemia. Brown was diagnosed in May with the disease that affects bone marrow ' s ability to make blood properly. He underwent surgery for a stem cell transplant from his sister, Shelby, days later. Brown ' s medical bills were expected to exceed $300,000, prompting the team to organize a Bowl-a-thon at Zuckey Bowl. Players bowled for an hour and signed autographs for donations. Senior linebacker Josh Buhl initiated the idea and said the event was something small that could make a big difference. It ' s a great idea, Buhl said. We wanted to do something that was fun, easy and able to get a lot of people to come out. The guys were up for it and really wanted to do it. While aplastic anemia is rare, occurring in three of every 1 million Americans, assistant coach Bob Elliott could relate to Brown ' s plight. Elliott received a bone marrow transplant in the spring of 1999 to treat a similar disease. I ' ve been in Travis ' s shoes, and I ' m sure he was scared to death of what was going to happen, Elliott said, but Travis looks at this as a positive in his life. He ' s learned a lot about himself and the people around him. His teammates have learned a bit about themselves, too, when they see what Travis is experiencing. It ' s an event that makes you reflect on where you ' re going and what you go through. Roberson said the Bowl-a-thon allowed players to experience cama- raderie before the season, as well as allowing them to interact with the Wildcat nation. It ' s great to just be out here in this environment with the fans, Roberson said. We don ' t get that too often. To get the whole team together and to sign autographs makes it all worthwhile for us. Ahhough the day was light-hearted, players remembered the well being of their friend and former punter. Travis has a pretty good understanding of the issues he ' s dealing with and how to go about it, Coach Bill Snyder said. He ' s a young guy who sees how fortunate he is to have a number of people who genuinely care about him. He sees it as one of life ' s experiences and is prepared to K-State linebacker Ted Sims eyes the pins while bowling with the football team at Zuckey Bowl.

There ' s a lot of wins over the last 15 years that we ' ve cherished a great deal, Snyder said. This is probably the most significant to most people. The long season began in early August when USA Today founder Al Neuharth dubbed the Cats the No. 1 team in the country and ended with a resounding 35-7 win against Oklahoma, the No. 1 team in the country. I think everyone in America probably counted us out and thought we were going to go downhill, senior defensive end Andrew Shull said, but we fought back. We ' re fighters and we came out on top. The Wildcats, considered by many to be done halfway through the season, finished as conference champion and earned the right to face reigning national champion Ohio State in the Tostitos Fiesta Bowl. The Bowl Championship Series bid was the first in K- State history. After the seventh game of a record 15-game season, the Cats suf- fered their third consecutive loss at the hands of the Oklahoma State Cowboys, Oct. 11. Having already lost to Texas the previous week and Marshall, Sept. 20, the once Top -10 ranked Cats fell out of national polls. It had been 28 days since victory. Three-in-a-row is not fun, plus we had the week off, so it ' s been a long time since these youngsters have experienced a win, Snyder said. I ' ve got to believe that there is a group of young guys who have tremen- dous character, a great deal of heart and care about each other, believe in the program, believe in the university and want to represent it as well as they possibly can and are not about to give themselves up. continued on page 271 Junior running back Darren Sproles runs the ball in K-State ' s 42-6 win over Kansas, Oct, 25.

Robert Lipson, a K- State fan of more than 30 years, remained on the field well after the stadium emptied, congratulating Wildcat fans and wishing Husker fans the best of luck in their next game. This means an awful lot, he said. We ' ll enjoy it right now but we ' ve got to realize that we have Tony the Tiger, Oklahoma and the Fiesta Bowl in that order.

The Cats pounded the Sooners to win a bid to the Tostitos Fiesta Bowl, Jan. 2. Photo by Kelly Glasscock Coach Bill Snyder called it the most significant win in his 15 years at K- State. Oklahoma Coach Bob Stoops, Snyder ' s former apprentice, said the Wildcats really took it to us in every part of the game. K- State ' s 35-7 victory over Oklahoma was the Sooners ' first of two consecutive losses and the Wildcats ' seventh consecutive win. It felt like any time we were able to breathe life into our team, something would suck it back out, Oklahoma receiver Mark Clayton said. Things were not going our way offensively, defensively or special teams wise. Senior quarterback Ell Roberson led the charge by throwing for 227 yards with four touchdowns. He also had 72 rushing yards. They had a great front four that everybody talked about, Roberson said. I really think that our O -line rose to the occasion, made some key blocks for us and picked up some blitzes that really helped us out a lot. The little man, Sproles, he stepped up and just had a great day. It was just a great team effort. We were the better team in every aspect of the game today. Considered dead after a three-game losing streak, K- State bounced back, winning six-in-a-row, before they faced the No. 1 team in the country and what many had considered perhaps the best team in col- legiate football history. The Wildcats were supposed to be the final hurdle in the Sooners ' steam-roll drive to the Nokia Sugar Bowl and a national title. Oklahoma went on to play, and eventually lose to, Louisiana State University. But at least they couldn ' t clear the Cats, senior linebacker Josh Buhl said. I believe in them, he said. We just wanted to make sure they didn ' t win against us. Junior running back Darren Sproles broke free for a record-setting 345 yards of total offense in the game. I am just glad we won, Sproles said. We were the better team today. They are still a great team. Eleven days after Coach Suzie Fritz and the volleyball team won K- State ' s second ever Big 12 title, the Wildcat football team, after facing struggles and adversity throughout the year, clinched the third and first for Snyder. I ' m really happy that it got to happen on my terms, Buhl said. I ' m really glad that I got a chance to be a part of his first Big 12 Champion- ship, something we set off at the beginning of the year as one of our goals. It just feels great to us because it was something that we wanted to do and we ended up accomplishing that, and that means a lot to this team and this program.

The score gave the Wildcats a 14-7 lead over the Sooners at Arrowhead Stadium in Kansas City, Mo., a lead the Cats would keep, and build on, the remainder of the game. I think the Okla- homa game gove us a lot of confidence, but we had a lot of confidence going into that game, senior defensive end Andrew Shull said. We realized we were a very capable team and that we had a lot of talent and we just pulled together and that win helped give us lot of confidence for this game Photo by Kelly Glasscock Senior tight end Thomas Hill holds up the Big 12 Championship trophy after K-State defeated the No. 1 ranked Oklahoma Sooners 35-7, Dec 6. K-State rebounded from three straight losses early in the season to make an appearance at the cham- pionship game. We are in a very fortunate position to come from where we were in the middle of the season, senior center Nick Leckey said The way we hove put things together and gotten back on track, a win would be the logical next step for us and the progression of the season to ocheive our goals. It is a great way for these seniors to go out and do something really special and do something to odd to this program.

Pfioto by Kelly Glasscock center Spotlight falls on Wildcats at Fiesta Bowl where team fought hard to overcome tough defense, controvery. by Nabil Shaheen In the end, it was simply an Ohio State victory over K- State, 35-28, in what was supposed to be a defensive battle. But it was not any ordinary Tostitos Fiesta Bowl. We ' re playing Kansas State, Ohio State Coach Jim Tressel said. They ' re not going to stop. They ' ve got great athletes, great coaches, great belief in their system and their program. You knew it was going to be a 60-minute game. We ' re just happy at the end, when the final tick went off, we got the win. The game pitted one of the country ' s better defenses against one of the better offenses. It was junior running back Darren Sproles, who finished the game with only 13 carries for 38 yards, taking on the No. 1 rushing defense in the country. It was the detail-oriented Tressel against the even more detail- oriented Coach Bill Snyder. It was the Buckeyes ' second consecutive Bowl Championship Series bowl game victory against the Wildcats ' potential first 12-win season. But as the hours to kickoff ticked away, all attention focused on what happened off the field that was not related to Xs or Os. With 14:54 left in the first quarter, senior quarterback Ell Roberson went under center for his ninth consecutive start. Although certainly a factor for both sides of the ball with his passing and running abilities, all 73,471 sets of eyes were on No. 3 due to allegations of sexual assault from the morning of Jan. 1. The case eventually proceeded no fur- ther and no charges were filed. In the 40 hours leading up to the game, many unanswered ques- tions remained, but one thing was clear, the decision of what to do with Roberson would be Snyder ' s alone, and it would not be known until kickoff We ' ve been really mature, senior center Nick Leckey said. Everything was handled as best as it possibly could. We handled adversity all season long. It was another bump on the road, some- thing that really needed to try to get this team together, try to play as one. It just drew us even closer. In a well-matched and well-prepared game, the victor was not decided until the final Wildcat possession. A 53 -yard pass attempt, with six seconds left, from Roberson to sophomore wide receiver Davin Dennis was swatted out of the reach of Dennis and senior receiver James Terry by a swarming Buckeye defense. (Situations surrounding the game) can be an excuse, I don ' t mean for it, Snyder said. Ohio State beat Kansas State University and they did it because they were the better football team tonight and they played very well. They need to be proud of that and I ' m sure they are. Did we play as we ' re capable of? No, we didn ' t. Would that have changed the outcome? I don ' t know that for a fact, either. fiesta bowl n 277 I During a mini-golf tourna- ment at Wildcat Creek Sports Center, Nathan Peckham-Wichman, junior in finance, reacts to missing a putt.

This hole takes a little strat- egy, the senior in agricultural economics said. She did not take long to line up her shot. There ' s not a lot of skill in mini-golf, Kramer said. Most of it is about luck. The golf ball bounced off the right wall, rolled between two rocks while avoiding the third, leaving her with a more conven- tional putt. Put me down for two, she said, retrieving her ball from the hole. Kramer was one of the 108 students who participated in the intramural Mini- Golf Tourna- ment at Wildcat Creek Sports Center, Sept. 21. The 18-hole miniature -golf course at Frank Anneberg Park was filled with occasional bursts of laughter, cheers of holes -in -one and Happy Gilmore quotes. Tee-times started at noon and play continued past 5 p.m. Participants registered the first week of September and paid a $5 fee for 36 holes. Students played as individuals or in four-member teams. Nathan Peckham- Wichman, junior in finance, and Nick Warren, junior in biology, played for the Bulldogs. They were paired with Kramer and Katie Maddy, freshman in animal sci- ences and industry.

Clutched between his palms was a flying disc. Ultimate Frisbee games were played with two teams of seven people each. Players passed the disc to other members of their team and scored by having a reception in the end zone. The best part of ultimate Frisbee is watching all the people who are better than you play, Joseph Sledd, sophomore in open- option, said. Some people get real creative on their throws and catches. Players in possession of the disc were not allowed to run, but could only set one foot to pivot from. Throwers, if guarded, had only 10 seconds to make a throw without causing a turnover. Rec- reation Services did not provide referees for the sport, so players called their own fouls. It ' s really hard to defend a team if they ' re good, Patrick W. O ' Donnell, sophomore in business administration, said. Probably the best part is completing a hard pass — diving for it and catching it. O ' Donnell and Sledd played as members of Haymaker Hall ' s eighth-floor intramural team. ' :«tv). Steve Martini, associate direc- tor of recreation services, said ultimate Frisbee was a popular intramural sport at the Chester E. Peters Recreational Complex. It ' s been pretty successful as far as numbers, Martini said. It ' s enough that we kno v there ' s students who want to play. Eric Williams, junior in marketing, played for The Flying Dorothvs. The hardest part is getting guys to show up, Williams said. Everybody ' s really busy. It ' s hard to get everybody together. He said the sport, which also had summer leagues, was for people of all ages. I ' ve played with guys in their 60s and in their 50s, he said. All you need are cones and a disc. Because of the simple rules, beginners could easily learn ulti- mate Frisbee, Williams said. There ' s only two rules in the game that you need to know when you start, he said. Any begin- ner can come out and catch on quickly. Williams also said it was easy to become proficient at the game. If you played one summer, you ' d get everything you need, he said. If you practice at it, you ' d get good in two years. ■.

Peters Recreation Complex. We pretty much make the time, Brian Pileggi, third-year student, said. Studying by your third year usually isn ' t that big of a deal. Third-year class members averaged 40 hours in class each week but Softball offered a break, David Lensing, third-year student, said. (Softball) helps us get along better, he said. When you are at school, in class, you are studying, you ' re doing surgery or doing lab, whatever the case may be, and it ' s just a way for us to get away from school and not have to worry about academia. Softball began in March and finished in May with a playoff tournament. We just basically got together and decided that we would make the effort to come and try to win the tournament, Joseph Skavdahl, third-year student, said. We ' re athletic and pretty good hitters, and we wanted to try and put a trophy in the vet school trophy case from intramurals. Despite having limited free time, the students found it easy to break away from class work, Lensing said. We really don ' t talk about school on the field, Lensing said. We ' ll just make jokes from stuff we ' ve learned in class and stuff like that. It ' s kind of a closed organization and people who don ' t know vet med or medicine in general, they probably find no humor in what we say and probably have no idea what we are talking about. As far as school work is concerned, we don ' t come out on the diamond from a test and say ' hey, what did you get for answer 32? ' We don ' t do that. (Softball) is just a way to get away from the school work. Eyes on home plate, Aaron Stohs, fourth-year veterinary medicine student, pitches the ball during one of the intramural Softball games. It is hard to find time, but for something like this you find that time, David Lensing, third-year student, said.

Teams were divided among five divisions, and 598 games were played on the fields at the Chester E. Peters Recreational Complex, Steve Martini, associate director of recreational services, said. Travis Rudisill played on two football teams — G5 for the residence hall division, and co- educational team Shingles for the CO -recreational division. Co-ed ' s more fun, because you get to play with girls, Rudis- ill, senior in architectural engi- neering, said. It puts a different perspective on the game. Rudisill ' s team of fifth-floor Goodnow Hall residents played together in 2002 as well. Through- out the season, they faced off against a team of former fifth- floor residents, called XG5. We were pretty good friends, Rudisill said. We practiced a lot and kind of talked a lot of crap on them. It was fun because they were all really good friends of ours. Amy Link, senior in mass communications, also partici- pated in the Goodnow football rivalry. In addition to playing for the women ' s division champions, a team also called Shingles, she played for XG5. There ' s been some rivalry, Link said. We played (G5) twice this year. The first time it was really close and we won, but they beat us the second time. It was a friendly rivalry, but there was some good competition. Link said she played on co-ed teams for three years, but this was her first time playing in the women ' s division. We had a really good season, she said. We were really surprised to do so well. It was really laid- back — we didn ' t even meet all of our teammates until the first game. In addition to the Goodnow Students have fun, meet friends in flag football leagues. rivalry, Link said other rivalries existed in flag football. There was always a little of the independent- greek rivalry, she said. It was really fun when we played a sorority team. They had uniforms and coaches, and for us, it was a sweet victory, because they were calling out plays and we don ' t have any plays. Rebecca Nichols, freshman in pre-health, said she enjoyed play- ing for the Alpha Delta Pi team because she became better friends with her sorority sisters. I liked just having fun with the girls, Nichols said. It was a good way to get to know every- one. Competition aside, Link said making friends and having fun were the best reasons to get involved in flag football. It ' s a good way to meet new people, Link said. It ' s just a lot of fun, and we ' ve done well at it. It ' s always fun to do something you do well. flag football n 285 iidoor track places 16th in national competition by Brent Gray Senior Morgan High attempts to clear the bar during the high jump competition at Ahearn Field House.

Hill missed out on the National Championship by 2.5 inches behind Nebraska ' s Ineta Radevica. Ahhough sophomore Christian Smith competed at nationals last season, he did not make the finals. This year, he made the finals a goal, reached it and went further. Smith was named an All- American in the men ' s 800 -meter run. He ran his second best time of the season, 1:48.18 and finished less than a second behind national champion Nate Brannen of Michigan. Christian doesn ' t have as much experience as some guys he ' ll be running against, but he is every bit as talented, Coach Cliff Rovelto said. .; Wright was also an Ail-American after finishing fourth with 4,173 points in the women ' s pentathlon. After winning the Big 12 Champion- ship, she placed fourth at the NCAA Indoor Championship. Her point total was her best of the season and only 16 points away from third place. The fourth Cat to be named an Ail-American was Kyle Lancaster who placed third in the men ' s high jump with a 2.20-meter jump on the first day of competition. Senior Rebekah Green represented K- State in the women ' s shot put, and seniors Morgan High and Marta Borkowska competed in the women ' s high jump, but none received honors. As a team, the men and women finished well against the national competition. The men finished in 16th place with 14 points, and the women finished with 13 points to tie for 16th with California Polytech- nic State University.

Struggling through injuries, inexperience and close games, the men ' s basketball team managed to finish with a 15-15 record. The .500 season marked the first time in five years that the team did not end with a losing record. It was a season marked with a lot of different challenges our players had to overcome, Coach Jim Wooldridge said. We were the most inex- perienced team in this league and the injuries we had to fight through were really difficult at times to overcome. Despite the obstacles, K- State finished the Big 12 Conference season tied for ninth with a conference record of 6-10. The Wildcats nabbed the No. 9 seed in the Big 12 Tournament, but were upended by No. 8 Iowa State Cyclones, 78-64, ending K- State ' s season and a chance at a National Invitational Tournament invite. I was really proud of our guys in the way they handled the season, Wooldridge said. There were stretches where it could have come apart, but they held themselves together and kept believing. The Wildcats had a strong home season winning 12 and only drop- ping four at Bramlage Coliseum. K- State ' s biggest home victory came March 6 against the No. 10 Texas Longhorns, 58-48.

K- State finished in the middle of the Big 12 in scoring with 69.4 points per game, 45 percent field goal percentage and 34 percent 3 -point shooting. Junior forward Jeremiah Massey led the offense and defense. Massey topped K- State in nine different categories by scoring 14.7 points per game, rebounding 7.8 points per game, finishing 10, 20 -point games and hitting eight double -doubles. The Detroit native and junior college transfer also was named Big 12 Newcomer of the Year. Once he got through the first part of the season, his numbers were astonishing, Wooldridge said. Two other Wildcats had solid seasons and joined Massey with con- ference post- season honors. Jarrett Hart was selected as a member of the Big 12 All-Underrated Team and was the vocal leader of the Wildcats. Hart ended his senior season third in scoring with 10.9 points per game, fourth in rebounds with 3.6 points per game and second in assists with 3.1 per game. Although hampered by a leg-injury during the last 10 games of the season. Hart played in all but one game for K- State. Senior guard Tim Ellis also had a solid senior season. Ellis led the team with an 81 percent in field goal percentage. Ellis scored 13.8 points per game and hit 20 points or more five times during the season.

The reason I came here was to turn this program into a Top 25 program and that was the goal and it just happened so quick. We ' ve all learned how to be in this system. Now here we are — a top 10 team. Big 12 champions. It ' s almost happened too quick, like ' whoa, here it is. ' The moment arrived March 3 when K- State routed No. 9 Texas Tech on its way to earning a first ever Big 12 Conference championship, shar- ing the regular season title with Texas. It was the team ' s first conference title in more than 15 years and the school ' s fourth Big 12 title in any sport since the start of the conference. As confetti fell from the Bramlage Coliseum rafters and video highlights of the team ' s championship season were displayed, more than 10,000 fans celebrated the victory and team members prepared to cut down the nets — but not before senior AU-American center Nicole Ohlde became the first athlete in K- State history to have her jersey retired. Ohlde ' s all-around game might get overlooked sometimes, Mahoney said. Tonight, Ohlde was pumped up and aggressive and that ' s how she can play. It ' s great to be on her team. I ' m just glad I got to be a part of her career here. continued on page 297 Reaching for the ball, seniof forward Amy Dulmer tries to get past Nebroska ' s Margo ret Richards, The Wildcots beat the Cornhuskers 89-69 during the Feb. 14 home gome and avenged their loss from three weeks earlier.

We ' re just grateful and blessed to play together. Photo by Kelly Glasscock 296 a sports dream season continued from page 294 In her senior season, Nicole Ohlde cemented herself as one o f the greatest women ' s basketball players ever to don a K- State jersey. She became the all-time leading scorer in K-State men ' s or women ' s basketball history, all-time leading scorer in Big 12 history, and all-time leading rebounder in school history, among many other accolades that earned Ohlde her second consecutive Big 12 Player of the Year award. Nicole Ohlde is far and away in my opinion the best player to walk into this program, Coach Deb Patterson said. She epitomizes every- thing we have wanted Kansas State women ' s basketball to be about. She is a person of integrity, very humble, very dedicated to her team but at the same time brings a total commitment to personal excellence. After winning a share of the Big 12 regular season title, the team again made an early exit at the 2004 Phillips 66 Big 12 Women ' s Basket- ball Tournament when they were ousted by eventual champion Okla- homa in the semifinals. continued on page 299 Evading a Red Raiders ' defender, junior guard Laurie Koehn shoots the ball over Texas Tech ' s Jolee Ayers-Curry, March 2.

It was especially hard making that commitment to come to a pro- gram that no one has ever heard of, Kendra Wecker said. That says a lot about these coaches but it also says a lot about these players who have made that commitment. They chose to come here and turn this program around and it was really hard to dream about it happening until we actually got here. It feels like you ' ve accomplished something so great. Who would have dreamed that Kansas State women ' s basketball would be a top 10 team and Big 12 champion. It ' s just awesome. women ' s basketball n 299 As the final minutes of tfie game wind down, junior forward Kendia Wecker and freshman guard Claire Coggins fight back tears during the Wildcats ' season-ending loss to Min- nesota in the second round of the NCAA Tournament at Williams Arena in Minne- apolis. Wecker fouled out of the game with 7: 1 5 left in the 80-61 loss, I thought the reserves that came in did o great job and kept us in offense and did the things they needed to do, Wecker said.

We didn ' t play Kansas State basketball and we knew we needed to change that, senior center Nicole Ohlde said. The team went into the NCAA Tournament with its highest seeding ever — No. 2 — and ended its postseason run March 23 on the floor of Williams Arena against a feisty No. 7 seeded Minnesota, 80-61. We just didn ' t show up in the first 20 minutes and they took full advantage of that right from the tipoff, junior forward Kendra Wecker said. The Wildcats trailed by 26 at halftime shooting a little more than 23 percent. In the second half the Cats actually outscored the Gophers but the deficit was too large to overcome. You learn a lot about how tough you ' re capable of being when you see how we played in the second half, Coach Deb Patterson said. I don ' t know if anybody will ever face an environment like this in the NCAAs. The crowd of 13,425 loud and rowdy fans was the sixth largest in the history of first or second round games in the women ' s NCAA Tournament. Ohlde led all scorers with 23 while junior guard Megan Mahoney chipped in 17 points. (Mahoney) did everything that we needed from her today and then some, Wecker said. She was her typical self just coming out defending, being aggressive, putting points on the board. She did everything she needed to do. K- State defeated Valparaiso in the teams ' first-round matchup, 71-63. I ' m just happy to be at this point. I ' m really proud of what we ' ve done, senior forward Amy Dutmer said. We ' ve had an awesome season, it just comes down to being tougher. It was do or die and we just didn ' t make it happen. After all the tears dried, the hugs exchanged and the ice applied to sore joints, Koehn said those who return next season would start preparing immediately. We gotta start picking ourselves back up and get ready for next year because that ' s the only thing we can do, she said. L Kk H| n Going up for a basket, senior center I Jicole Ohlde is blocked by Minnesota ' s Jonel McCarville during the Wildcats ' loss to the Gophers at Williams Arena in Min- neapolis, March 23. The loss ended K-Stote ' s season and Ohide ' s career as a Wildcat. Ohlde scored 23 points in her final contest. (McCar- ville) was able to move really well — give a lot of credit to her, Ohlde said. She did a great job tonight. She ' s an extremely good player, really physical and she carries herself really well.

The game against Massachusetts was Lipson ' s 360th consecu- tive game; a streak which included 113 road games. Photo by Chris Hanewinckel while taiigating, Robert Lipson puts snacks into Ziploc bags before the game against Marshal! University, Sept. 20. Lipson visited various tailgate par- ties, filling plastic bags with food that he snacked on throughout the week. Photo by Chris Hanewinckel Super football fan with his foam finger continues supporting Wildcats with consecutive attendance throughout 4 decades, by Jamie Oberg At 7 a.m. on a GameDay Sat- urday, Robert Lipson parked at his usual spot on Himes Street. Kick- off for the Missouri game was not for 1 1 hours, but, at a time when donuts and coffee were on the minds of most, all Lipson thought about was Wildcat football. Such was the nature of the superfan, a title given to 53 -year- old Lipson, a Manhattan resident. Although difficult to place a number on the consecutive home games he had attended, Lipson said he had not missed a game at Wagner Field since 1972. In addition to home games, following the Wildcats has taken him on barnstorming trips throughout campuses in the Big 12 Conference, to both coasts and even Japan. Lipson spoke modestly about his zeal for K- State and pointed to a support base of many rather than one. K- State has the best fans in college athletics, he said. Lipson was a popular person to talk to as he made the rounds at pre -game tailgate parties. People called him by his first name and asked for his thoughts on the game to be played later in the evening. I visit all the people I can, Lipson said. Although he took little credit or pleasure from his widespread acclaim, those inside the football program, past and present, said they admired Lipson for his con- tinued backing of the Cats. BillMolitor, 1994-1997 Wildcat defensive end, said he remembered Lipson as a funny, older man who always carried a purple foam finger. He ' s been there for years, Molitor said. You know, I think he ' s been there forever. Senior linebacker Josh Buhl said Lipson was one constant the Wildcats could count on each Saturday. He ' s the first fan we see when we get off the bus, Buhl said. He ' s the one fan we know for sure will be there. As fans go, Lipson was at a level with few others. Buhl said. Robert ' s one-of-a-kind, there aren ' t many like him, he said. We love all of our fans but he takes it to a different extreme. continued on page 304 Standing in a sea of purple, Robert Lipson watches K-State take on the Minute- men from University of Mas- sachusetts, Sept. 13. Lipson always managed to find on open seat in the packed stands of KSLI Stadium. Lipson attended both home and away football gomes for more than 30 years. Photo by Chris Hanewinckel robert lipson n 303 ever faithful continued from page 303 Lipson became an honorary coordinator for the Wildcats on occasion. Each season, Lipson, who always dabbled and tinkered with a play he was sure the Wild- cats could succeed with, received a chance to put his hypothesis to the test. Coach Bill Snyder ran Lipson ' s play each year, Molitor said. He would make up a play that he thought would beat Nebraska, Molitor said. One game a year, Snyder would let him do it, usually before a big game like Nebraska. He would show (the players) how they were supposed to line up. It always worked. At game time, Lipson stood in a section of the stadium and lis- tened to the game on his radio, all Walking in the KSU Stadium parking lot, Robert Lipson makes his way from one tailgate party to another. Lipson interacted with other fans during his visits to their tailgates before each home game. Photo by Chris Hanewinckel his focus and attention transfixed on the field. After sprinting past the Mis- souri Tigers 24-14, the Wildcats wrapped-up the Big 12 North division title, which led to a daunting challenge at the Big 12 Championship: the number-one ranked Oklahoma Sooners. Lipson, who, like so many Wildcat fans, was burned by high expectations in 1998, proved cau- tious with his pre-game assess- ment of the match-up. I learned a big lesson, Lipson said. In 1998, 1 was so convinced we were going to win. I was equally convinced we would lose against Oklahoma. But the Wildcats threw one of their biggest supporters a curve ball, pounding the undefeated Sooners, 35-7, at Arrowhead Sta- dium in Kansas City, Mo. We destroyed, Lipson said. The next game for the Wild- cats, and for Lipson, was the Tostitos Fiesta Bowl, and the team ' s first appearance in a Bowl Championship Series game. K- State played Ohio State Uni- versity, an institution Lipson almost chose before enrolling at K- State. Lipson said his role revolv- ing around the football team was relatively unimportant. If I can make a difference in the outcome of a game, regardless of how slight and insignificantly small, then and only then can I take some pride in their accom- plishment, he said. ■ 304asports Robert Lipson changes shirts out of the back of his Nissan truck prior to the Marshall game, Sept. 20.

Whether in residence halls, scholarship houses, greek organizations or apartment complexes, the living group was a focal point for activity. The women of Delta Delta Delta spent a seasonal October Sunday cleaning their neighborhood and sponsored a barbecue for their neighbors hoping to become better acquainted and keep open the lines of communication. A blind date at Marlatt Hall was more than a time to interact with people when the lights were turned off and attendees experienced dinner blind. As part of Wildcat Welcome Week at K-State-Salina, students went to Jumpin ' Joe ' s Entertainment Center to play video games, compete in laser tag and ride go- karts. The evening provided new and returning students a chance to get to know one another. Students ' interaction did not stop at the end of classes.

The event was organized by the Goodnow Hall Governing Board on the basketball courts north of Kramer Dining Center. It was very successful, Mishelle Banas, residence life coordina- tor, said. It was one of the first programs our new governing board was putting in place. It was really exciting to be able to see them take a creative idea and put some planning behind it and see the fruits of their labor, so to speak. And with mocktails, there was definitely some educational value behind it for the residents. Mocktails, alcohol-free cocktails, were served during the formal, Oct. 21, with other snacks and refreshments. The mocktails also coincided with beer goggles and a drunk driving simulation. The HGB did the actual dance and refreshments, Tiffany Happer, senior in architectural engineering, said. We had four different mocktail drinks — pina colada, strawberry daiquiri and mocktinis — and we had what the drinks would be without alcohol. The drunk driving simulation showed people who were sober what drunk driving was like to deter them from doing it in the future.

I just wanted to do an event for the hall to relax and have fun halfway through the semester, she said. I was really glad because a lot of people got into it and we had a pretty good turnout. One of the (KSDB-FM 91.9) people wanted to do a live spot from the residence halls, and they were willing to DJ for free. They did a really good job which was really nice. They catered to us. Perhaps the most entertaining part of the evening, Dinkel said, was the costuming and seeing what people could come up with at a formal where the spending limit for outfits was $5, hence the event s name. We had a lot of interesting outfits, she said. Some people wore bridesmaids and prom dresses from their moms from the ' 70s. Some went to the Salvation Army. Some people dressed in crazy clothes. A guy made a blazer out of duct tape. A couple of guys made skirts out of pompoms — people got creative — (and) if they couldn ' t get creative, they kind of just made stuff up last minute. goodnow Aoryn Clark El Dorado Hills, Calif.

Twenty responded. Some expected to make a connection with the opposite sex. Others were curious about the secrecy behind the event. After introductions, they gathered around a large table in the Marlatt Hall conference room to eat free pizza. Then the lights went out. That ' s when it clicked, Tracy Reif, junior in secondary educa- tion, said. I ' d heard of programs like that before. Reif, resident assistant for West Hall, said she realized the objec- tive of the blind date was to teach participants what it was like to be blind. Benjamin Lawrence, senior in mechanical engineering, organized the activity. As the multicultural assistant for Marlatt, Lawrence said he wanted to provide education and an appreciation for disabled persons. After the lights went out, I heard someone say, ' this is hard, ' and I thought, yeah, it is, Lawrence said. I wanted them to realize what new things you have to take into consideration when you ' re disabled. Reif said she became aware of challenges faced by visually impaired people.

You hear about people with disabilities and how hard it is for them, but this made it real for me - it made it hit home. Jason Black, senior in mechanical engineering and a Marlatt RA, said he was aware of the plans for the evening, but still learned from the experience. (Lawrence) presented a really good point about if you ' ve never been exposed to that kind of thing, or if you ' ve never lived with a disability, you wouldn ' t really think about it from their perspective, Black said. After dinner, Justin Mahan, freshman in construction science and management, spoke to the group about what life was like as a physically disabled person. He had been struck by a drunken driver, and as a result, spent a good portion of time in a wheelchair, Lawrence said. He became aware of what it was like to be fully functional and then to lose that ability. Because of that, he was able to present this subject on a deep, personal level. Lawrence said he thought the evening was a success. Most guys went in with the idea that they would be ending the night with a girl, he said. There was still plenty of interaction with the opposite sex, but they also learned to be grateful for the stuff you take for granted in day-to-day life. marlatt Covering her face after an embarrassing comment, Tracy Reif, junior in second- ary education, is consoled by Joson Black, senior in mechanical engineering. Students from Marlatt and West halls participated in a blind dote activity, Nov. 23, which turned out to be different than most expected — instead of making a love connection, they learned what life was like as a disabled person. I realized that there are a lot of aspects of my life that I consider normal activities, that to a disabled person may be insurmountable tosks, said Block.

I, the Moore Hall Diversity Team educated residents about the AIDS epidemic by organizing AIDS Awareness Week, Dec. 7-11. In addition to asking Moore residents to sign AIDS quilt blocks, the diversity team orga- nized an open discussion and invited Sexual Health Awareness Peer Educators to speak. Diversity team members said they were surprised to learn few students knew the seriousness of the AIDS virus. It was kind of amazing how many people didn ' t know what the AIDS quilt was or what the AIDS crisis itself was, Anthony Garcia, freshman in open-option, said. When I asked, ' Would you like to sign the AIDS quilt? ' they were like, ' What is it? ' Garcia carried quilt blocks to each floor of Moore soliciting signatures, Dec. II. Members of the diversity team sent the blocks to the national AIDS Memorial Quilt. Although events and the quilt signing were only advertised in Moore, Christopher Lydick, Moore multicultural assistant and junior in computer engineering, said all students were welcome to participate and sign the quilt. Everybody who wants to can grab a pen and sign it, Lydick said. It (gave) residents a chance to feel a part of it, and if they have any family members who are afflicted, they (could) write a little blurb. Although K- State students might not have seen the effects of AIDS in their daily lives, Lydick said it was still important to be educated. It doesn ' t get the attention that I feel it deserves, Lydick said. It ' s definitely something that ' s slipping between the cracks, and it ' s our job as student- staff leaders to recognize that and bring it out in the open. r by Jaci Boydston Ashley Boldt, sophomore in food and nutrition exercise sci- ence, helped with AIDS Awareness Week by making, distributing and wearing memorial ribbons. She said K- State students should not be sheltered from the issue. We felt it was important because not everybody has gotten a lot of education about it, but it ' s everywhere, Boldt said. Maybe it ' s not that big in Manhattan, but if you ' re going to go out in the rest of the world, you ' re going to need to know about it. Garcia said the diversity team ' s main goal for the week was to raise students awareness of the AIDS epidemic and to make them better, more educated people. I like getting involved with anything that helps raise aware- ness of multicultural or political issues, Garcia said. Anything I see that would help make the world a better place, I try to do something to help. Abby Bacon Ulysses, Kan Pfe-Heallh • FR Kyle Banman McPherson, Kan.

On Mondays, residents gath- ered to relax from studying, drink refreshments and interact socially, said Chris Rude, hall president and junior in animal sciences and industry. It ' s a social event for the entire hall, said Devaney Fla- nigan, third floor president and sophomore in psychology. They come up, have coffee and sit around and talk. The idea started in a floor government meeting in Septem- ber. Flanigan said the third floor government helped organize the program. Already at Putnam on Tues- days, there is a donut night, so the food aspect was taken, said Shan- non Powell, third floor resident and sophomore in psychology. So, we thought, ' what do people enjoy doing? ' A lot of the time students take a break from study- ing and go to lava (Espresso and Bakery). We thought we could save them time and some conve- nience. Powell said she helped with the coffee nights to make the task easier for everyone. There is a lot of responsibility going along with the set up that would turn into a huge project, Powell said. I thought it would pick up slowly and gain people as they learned about it. It ' s exceeded my expectations — we started out with a lot of people. The relaxing atmosphere attracted 15-30 regulars to the coffee nights, Flanigan said. The social aspect is the best part, she said. It brings out some of the people not always involved with other things. We get a variety of people clumped together to share ideas and opinions. Coffee nights were funded by the hall ' s governing board. Flanigan said she planned to add variety to the coffee nights in future semesters through themed nights with flavored coffee.

Student Peers Advocating Diversity and Educating Society, a diversity team at K- State, used the pinata smash as a diversity project Piiiatas, which originated in Italy and later became a symbol of Mexican heritage, decorated the basement. Before breaking the piiiatas, attendees learned the history behind them and some Spanish words. I think that learning the history of the piiiata was important, Natalie Oswald, sophomore in secondary education, said. Learning about cultures and broadening your perspective is valuable. The team created the piiiatas with newspaper strips, dipped in a mixture of water and flour, wrapped around a balloon. There were about five layers per balloon, which took around two hours to com- plete, and the piiiatas dried the rest of the week.

I west I lien- jT m stitiition by Jenny Shoemaker Opening a time capsul e from 1982 unsealed a 21-year mystery at West Hall. The Oct. 24 event ended anticipation of residents. We started (planning) back in early September, Kimberly Shamburg, hall president and sophomore in elementary education, said. We formed a committee to make the (new) capsule (and) we started thinking of what we wanted to put in it. Opening the time capsule was written in West ' s constitution, but the capsule ' s location was not. It hasn ' t been found before; we found it just this year, Kristy Lowrey, freshman in history, said. We knew we had one, but no one knew where it was. We were kind of searching all around. The capsule was found in the basement. While some students on the committee worked with details of the ceremony, others designed invitations and mailed them, Lowery said. The guest list included the 1982 working staff, Bessie B. West ' s family. President Jon Wefald, dean of student life Pat Bosco, current residents and staff members from the Department of Housing and Dining Services, Shamburg said. After preparations were complete, everyone was excited and anticipated those who would attend the event, Lowrey said. We were all speculating what they put in it, Lowrey said. We were saying ' oh, I wonder if they put one of these in, ' or ' I wonder if 1 1 were sj they put an old baseball card and we ' re going to find it and it ' s going to be worth millions. ' The 21-year-old capsule contained: a student planner, newspaper clippings, bumper stickers, a Follow Your Dreams invitation to a formal, a West Hall T-shirt and a photo album. After opening the capsule, the committee dedicated a new time capsule. Items selected to be sealed for the next 20 years were: a K- State football, TV guide. People magazine, Time magazine, a recent news- paper, another West Hall T-shirt, CD with popular music and lists of favorite music and top movies. I hope (the class of 2023) can tell from the things we put in there that we really enjoyed living here in West Hall, Shamburg said, and that (Manhattan) was a fun community. The committee hoped future residents of West Hall would enjoy items inside the new capsule as much as current residents enjoyed the items left for them, Shamburg said. I hope they don ' t look at the CD of popular music and ask, ' how do we play this, ' Jessica Divine, freshman in history, said. I think they will get joy from looking at what was popular at this time. After the ceremony, refreshments were served, and the event concluded as the crowd sang Happy Birthday.

(We have them) usually about two to three times a month, Mark Sibilla, sophomore in elementary education, said. What a tasty treat. The bars were made with a base of white-cream filled, choco- late cookies covered with choco- late sauce, caramel and peanuts. Sibilla said when the treats were made, every bar was consumed. They usually don ' t last the night, he said. They ' re gone before the dinner crew can put them away. Each night during finals week. Smith residents munched on a dif- ferent snack while studying. The bars were one of the most popular treats, Sibilla said. Stephen Harris, freshman in civil engineering, said the bars tasted good and were a favorite among the men. Sibilla said the bars were a tradition at Smith and would be around for a while. Once we get the new guys hooked on them, Sibilla said, then it ' ll definitely continue. With a new dietician planning the men ' s meals, the fall semester ' s inaugural batch of bars came about one month after classes began. Natalie Kuhlman, senior in food and nutrition exercise sci- ence, said the men constantly asked for the buster bars each time she visited the house. They ' ve been asking for them ever since school started, Kuhl- man said. Every time I go over there they ask, ' when are we going to have buster bars? ' Kuhlman ' s position as dieti- cian involved planning meals for members of the house. The position provided experi- ence for her major, she said. She also said even though there were other, more nutritious desserts, that fact didn ' t concern the men. They are not the most healthy, she said, but the boys don ' t care about nutrition and calories right now. Ryan Aikens Miilonvale, Kan. Electrical Engineering • JU Adam Boyd Abilene, Kan.

[ 334Dpeople smurthwaite Small animals welcome in rooms D For those wondering what was in a name, just ask Juantwansex- goddess, a goldfish owned by Abby Hall, senior in human ecology and mass communications. Hall ' s pet was one of 15 in Smurthwaite Scholarship House, which allowed pets that were caged and contained in students ' rooms. I ' ve lived here for four-and-a-half years, Hall said. We consider Smurthwaite ' Fish Hell ' because I ' ve had four fish die, so we keep buying more. But we think this is the last one because it ' s survived all semester. Although the pets in Smurthwaite were predominantly of an aquatic variety, there were a few others. Rebecca Jennings, junior in microbiology, bought Aufit the ham- ster in late September. Originally from western Nebraska, she said she named her pet after an air force base in Omaha, Neb. If they didn ' t accept pets, that was okay and, if they did, that was awesome because I ' ve never lived without an animal, she said. He ' s pretty minimal maintenance, but it ' s kind of a source of entertain- Ij Uh by Nabil Shaheen ment. (He ' s) kind of a stress reliever sometimes, because he ' s an animal and he ' s playing and he doesn ' t care that people don t get along or whatever. He just does his own thing. While it has never been a problem, students did go through a contract process so everyone living in the room agreed to have a pet, among other things. Generally it ' s not a problem, although one year a girl had a pet tarantula, Kalena Schroeder, senior in modern languages, said. We have a roommate contract and on there you can mark certain things, and you can also mark objections to pets or whatever. Tux, a mouse, lived with Schroeder and owner Kelly Brooks, junior in family studies and human services, in the room they shared together. 1 don ' t think the pet policy is unique, as far as individual pets, Hall said. The pet policy is OK because of the limitations that we have — you can ' t have anything that barks or makes noise. What we have works, especially with so many people in such a close space.

They ' re so cheesy, but you want them to pick the one you like, she said. I liked Ryan; he was my favorite. During commercial breaks, the women played games such as guessing how many gumdrops were in a jar and word games, Penland said. Cookies and hot chocolate were also provided. Jessica Courser, junior in family studies and human ser- vices, watched the wedding with her sisters. It was exciting — it was a wedding, Courser said. I taped it so I could watch it again. She said her favorite part was the ceremony itself. When she walked down the aisle. . .everyone was tearing up, she said. She looked so pretty and Ryan was so excited to see her. Before choosing Ryan, Trista met 25 bachelors, which she nar- rowed down on weekly episodes of the show. Jennifer Mosher, sopho- more in family studies and human services, said she avidly watched the show. I ' m obsessed with ' The Bach- elor ' and ' Bachelorette, ' Mosher said. I like that kind of TV show. So, often (the show) came on and I had to watch it — because Trista is an Alpha Chi. Penland said the women enjoyed themselves and the eve- ning provided relaxation during dead week. We were just trying to have some low-stress activities before finals, Penland said. I think they all had fun. « 338Dpeople alpha chi omega I Stephanie Biggs Overland Pork, Kan, Kinesiology • SO Emily Boos Overland Park, Kan.

Some people call him a dummy, but he doesn ' t like it when I call him that, Levendofsky, freshman in agricultural communications and journalism, said. I call him my ventriloquist figure. Elmer, a white-haired, wrinkly- faced, old farmer dressed in a flannel shirt and overalls, made regular appearances for shows throughout Kansas and Nebraska. Levendofsky said he got inspiration for Elmer ' s personality from elderly men in a coffee shop he frequented. He ' s set in his ways, like old men are, Levendofsky joked. When I put him on and I go to do a show, I have to make him seem like he is a real person. There are times when I ' ll think he ' s a real old man at the coffee shop. Members of Alpha Gamma Rho said they were impressed with Levendofsky ' s unusual skill. It ' s something different, Cody Echols, senior in animal sciences and industry, said. You don ' t come across people very often who can do that. It takes talent. Levendofsky said performing required preparation and consider- ation of his audience. It ' s a painstaking process, he said. You have to think about what jokes will work and won ' t work for your audience. I like Elmer because he connects with adults more, but I do a clean show. I ' ve said from the beginning, I would do a show for all ages. It ' s a G -rated show. Melodie Pooler Manhattan House Mother Flint Allen Coffeyvllle, Kan.

When he just stares at you, it ' s pretty weird, Nichols said. (Lev- endofsky) would have him watch TV and then look at me and then go back to watching TV. It ' s freaky how life-like he can be. The materials and quality of Levendofsky ' s $500 investment made Elmer seem more authentic, he said. His face is made out of latex, so I can make him do different facial expressions, Levendofsky said. He can smile, and I can make him swallow his face up like the guy on the bitter-beer commercial. Levendofsky said he started learning how to be a ventriloquist when he was 7 years old after he saw Greg Claassen, K- State alumnus and professional ventriloquist, perform. I asked him how I could do what he did, and he told me there isn ' t a school or way someone can teach you, you just have to learn on your own. Shortly after, he checked out a book from the library on ventrilo- quism and continued to reference it over the course of the following year. I spent hours on end in front of the mirror learning how to speak without moving my jaw or lips, he said. I started out using an old tube sock with a face drawn on it with marker. Eleven years later, Levendofsky said he would like to incorporate Elmer with his career. I do it because I like to make people laugh, he said. I know I ' m doing my job when people ' s eyes are wide open. 41 346 a people I alpha gamma rho Jimmy Doger Lincoln, Neb Animol Sciences and Industry • FR Craig Doane Downs, Kon Agrleuttural Economics • JU Ryon Eberth Basehor.

In conjunction with men of Sigma Phi Epsilon, Chi Os invited underprivileged children from the Boys Girls Club to their house for a holiday gift exchange, com- plete with Santa Claus, ginger- bread houses and several remote- controlled cars. A lot of different chapters will do gift exchanges with girls in the house, but instead of buying gifts for each other, we buy gifts for the kids, said Amber Lafferty, junior in family studies and human services. I like being able to bring a little bit of joy to somebody ' s Christmas that might not have gotten anything. by Jaci Boydston To buy gifts for the children, groups comprised of three Chi Os and two Sig Eps received a wish list for one child at the Boys Girls Club. Meredith Jones, freshman in apparel marketing and design, said one of the best parts of the gift exchange was shopping for the toys. We all had fun at Wal-Mart, Jones said. It was like we were kids again. It made us feel kind of old, because there were all these toys that we didn ' t know about. After Santa (James Franko, Sig Ep and senior in market- ing) passed out gifts at the Dec. 4 party, students and children played with the new toys. Shanlee O ' Neal, junior in elementary education, said the atmosphere was hectic once all the toys were unwrapped. It was exciting, especially when the kids opened up the presents, O ' Neal said. A lot of the boys got remote-controlled cars, and they were running them into people. Even during the frenzy of opening gifts, Jones said the 6- year-old boy she was paired with behaved well. He was thankful, Jones said. It was good to see that he was excited and that he had fun fooling around. It gives you that warm, fuzzy feeling. Jones said that feeling was the purpose of the event. It makes you feel good, because you know they needed it, Jones said. Just because I donated 10 bucks I didn ' t need, I was able to make his Christmas. April Alcorn Kansas City, Kon.

Photo by Lindsay Baumon I 362 a people delta delta delta Neighborhood clean-u UV z: by Jennifer Newberry On an unseasonably warm day, Oct. 19, the women of Delta Delta Delta raked colorful red, orange and yellow leaves from their neigh- bor ' s front yards. Noticing many surrounding neighbors were not college students, or had young families, the Tri-Delts hosted the second annual Neigh- borhood Community Service and Barbecue in an effort to clean up the neighborhood and get to know their neighbors. We often forget that although we are only living in these (greek) houses for a few years, the residents around us are permanent, Kari Baldonado, president and senior in mass communications, said. It is in our best interest to foster a positive relationship with them, and be pro- active rather than reactive when there is something that they don ' t like happening. Women from Tri-Delt, in addition to members of other greek houses in the neighborhood, split into 17 groups of six or seven people. Each group was assigned a street, and volunteers helped with chores such as raking leaves and picking up trash. (Volunteering is important) because you are helping people with something and making their day better, Sara Deutsch, junior in business administration, said. It ' s important to give back to the community. College kids sometimes get a bad rap, so, with older people in the neighborhood, it ' s important to help out. Jennifer Hattan, event coordinator and senior in marketing, said the event was important because as neighbors to homeowners with families, college students needed to be understanding and respectful of their surroundings. We need to keep things picked up and offer the help our large organization can contribute, she said. It is sort of a ' many hands make light work ' situation with neighborhood clean-up. After cleaning the neighborhood, all attended a barbecue. Cookie decorating and pumpkin carving were available for every- one, including neighborhood children. In charge of the pumpkin- carving stand, Deutsch said she found the experience to be fun. The kids really enjoyed it and came up with a lot of creative designs, she said. (When I signed up to help) I didn ' t remember that I hadn ' t carved a pumpkin before. It was messy, but luckily some of the kids wanted to get in there and get the seeds and insides out. Neighbors couldn ' t thank volunteers enough, Baldonado said. Most of the time, the neighbors are just so excited to get to meet the students that they have more fun than we do, she said. It was a nice day, and they were excited to get out and meet each other. Hattan said she received notes of thanks from appreciative neigh- bors regarding the event. I think it lets them know that we are willing to help out any way we can, she said. It gives them a chance to share any concerns they may have.

For Homecoming Week, mem- bers of Delta Tau Delta decorated their lawn as part of a new event. The lawn project started three weeks before Homecoming. It began with a conceptual design, progressed to production and resulted in the finished project, Jeff Windmeyer, junior in interior architecture, said. Paired with Alpha Gamma Rho and Alpha Xi Delta, the team received extra help from George Toma, professional field painter. George Toma was known throughout the NFL for his work designing and painting profes- sional fields, Ryan Weber, junior in marketing, said. To plan the project, participat- ing members formed commit- tees to discuss the budget and to construct ideas.

We had a vertical axis and horizontal axis, and then we went out in the yard and took measurements. We took string and it was like a grid as well. We held the piece of paper out in front of us and were able to copy the image on the grass. The Homecoming theme was Purple Reign. The Homecoming commit- tee decided to change some of the Homecoming events this year, Reif said. They replaced one with yard art. A bunch of other Big 12 universities do it, so that ' s where we got the idea. The members bought supplies including wood, chicken wire, plastic and spray paint to complete their design. Equipment was also needed. We had pump sprayers, Reif said. The rest were paints for turf, much like the ones they use for football fields like for pro or like the one used on the field here at K- State. Members worked from 8 a.m. until 4 p.m., with five people working at all times. At busy times there were as many as 10 or 12 members working. What started as a Homecom- ing event turned into a project where members came together and took pride in something they did, Riefsaid. The purpose of the art was to help develop excitement of Home- coming for those involved in the week, Windmeyer said, and to also show visitors how well we look upon our school. The Delts lawn art project took third place. 368Dpeople 4 i ;l delta tau delta Michael Hudson Wamogo Elementary Educallon • SO Kyle T Johnson Olalhe, Kan Engineering • FR Cody Jonas Wichito OpenOplion • FR Daniel Kaminsky Overland Park, Kon.

Members of Delta Upsilon hosted a siblings weekend, Nov. 22, that included bowling at Zucky Bowl and attending the Missouri football gome. My little sister goes to K-Stale, so it was a good excuse to hang out with her, which I don ' t do too often, Ebright said. Photo by Kelly Glasscock I an ill H bepu F( oiler 1 370DpeopIe delta upsilon Midnight fund-raiser successful II On Nov. 15, members of Delta Upsilon cooked stacks of pancakes for hundreds of people. Charging $3 per person for a plate of pancakes, the group donated $650 to the Boys and Girls Club of Manhattan, Andrew Noonen, senior in management, said. To help publicize the event, members chalked on campus, handed out flyers, announced the fund-raiser to other greek houses and put an announcement in the Collegian. Thirty boxes of pancake mix along with syrup and sausage had to be purchased for the event. For some, it was their first time to work the pancake feed, but for others it was their second, third or fourth time, said Matthew Steele, graduate student in biological and agricultural engineering. I have a knack for cooking so that ' s where they put me — in the kitchen, cooking, and showing the others the ropes, Steele said. Members served pancakes from midnight to 3 a.m. I like that we did it late at night, Noonen said. I think people liked the idea of eating pancakes and sausage at that time of night. A random mix of students attended the event, and members were by Jenny Shoemaker pleased with the attendance, Noonen said. My favorite part was watching people scarf down pancakes, Griffin said. There was a syrup drinking contest that was pretty gross, but fun to watch. Steven Copp, junior in business administration, collected money and watched the door to prevent people from sneaking in. DUs had national affiliation with the Boys and Girls Club, but the local organization was thankful, Lisa Salladay, resource development coordinator at the Manhattan Boys and Girls Club, said. Towards the end of the calendar year, our budget gets quite lean, Salladay said. After necessary expenses are paid to keep the doors open, basic program supplies — to make activities for youth more interesting and effective — are often what has to be cut. The donation from the pancake feed was used toward the pur- chase of supplies needed through the end of the year, Salladay said. Through this wonderful financial contribution, and lots of vol- unteering at the club, the DUs have become a great asset to the Boys and Girls Club, Salladay said. It really makes a huge difference in the lives of our members. J0- ' T ' d M Gary Gibson Salino, Kan. Social Science • JU Nathan Hands Gorden City, Kan. Kinesiology • JU Derek Havens McPherson. Kan.

However, that was not the case for FarmHouse men when Seth Sanders and Lance Zimmer- man ran against each other for student ambassador. If anything, it brought all the men closer together, Zimmerman said. It was a win-win situation, Zimmerman, senior in agricul- tural communications and jour- nalism, said. You ' d walk through the house and hear guys say, ' Well, I think I ' m going to vote for the FarmHouse guy. ' Sanders, junior in finance, and Zimmerman agreed they remained friends during the entire by Jaci Boydston election process. On the morning before the winner was announced, Sanders had breakfast with Zim- merman and his parents. We rode together to every- thing, Sanders said. We kept it professional, because it ' s an important role, but we made sure we had fun. Kyle Cott, FarmHouse presi- dent and senior in agronomy, said there was no additional strain on the house or candidates. Everybody knew that they ' re both equally qualified, Cott said. I know everybody went to vote. They were really supportive of them. At the Homecoming football game against Baylor University, a little friendly farmhouse Nov. 1, Sanders was announced as a new student ambassador. Of course, on my half, I ' m excited, Sanders said. I think Lance is pleased with the fact that he got as far as he did. Going in, we were happy that it would be one or the other. Zimmerman said he appreci- ated the opportunity to run. When you ' re running against somebody who ' s one of your best friends, it ' s sort of bittersweet, Zimmerman said. You know that they ' re going to do just as good a job as you could do. Seth and I were really glad we got to share that with each other and the guys in the house. I wouldn ' t want to share that with anybody but Seth.

Photo by Jeonel Drake greek organization n 375 gamma phi beta HaUoween pontpsts by Lindsay Porter A themed philanthropy event provided seasonal activity for Gamma Phi Beta and benefited local children. Gamma Phis hosted their first Pumpkin Chunkin, Oct. 16. Basically, it was an event centered on pumpkin races, Lindsay Strader, philanthropy chair and senior in psychology, said. It all started with the name. Strader said she was inspired by an event from Delaware called Pumpkin Chunkin. The national event featured machines specifi- cally designed to launch pumpkins, but Gamma Phis event was not that technical. Pumpkin Chunkin featured an eating contest, jack-o ' -lantern carving, pumpkin bobbing and a Kool-Aid chugging contest. Six fraternities competed to win a 120 -pound pumpkin. The most popular event was pumpkin bobbing, Strader said. They had to race to get those little pumpkin gourds out of a pool of water. Everyone enjoyed it.

Strader and Shannon Donaldson, assistant philanthropy chair, led the event, but all members helped. Girls were assigned a team as coaches for spirit, Donaldson, sophomore in pre -nursing, said. They helped get the guys in order and would cheer them on. The event raised $1,500 to be split between the Manhattan Big Brothers and Big Sisters Club and CampFire USA. Donaldson said the event raised a lot of money considering many philanthropy events occurred earlier in the semester. The women organized two philanthropy events each year, but participated in other greek events to share their support, Strader said. It is such a part of the greek system to give back to the commu- nity who supports us, she said. As college students, we do take a lot from the community. This is our way of giving back. 376 c people lan, m, f ! )rdet li 5 mam but letsaiil mm- keak I gamma phi beta AlJiho Dierki Ololhe, Kon Buiineis Adminiirralion • SO Tora Doef flor Volley Center, Kan Open-Option • FR Jessico Dreiling Greot Bend, Kon Humon Ecology • FR Laufo Ebbefl , Shownee, Kon Pre Health • FR Jamie Erickson Omaha, Neb.

Kappa Delta sponsored a self-defense seminar, Sept. 21. Kappa Delta chapters across the country began National Women ' s Friendship Day in 1999. The purpose was to celebrate the closeness and friendshi ps among women. It is meant to connect women — greek and non-greek, Leeann Armstrong, junior in apparel mar- keting and design, said. It is for all ages to celebrate women. Gov. Kathleen Sebelius pro- claimed Sept. 20 to be National Women ' s Friendship Day for the state of Kansas, beginning in 2003. Kappa Deltas wanted all states to proclaim Women ' s Friendship Day as an official holiday, Nicole Hedges, junior in psychology, said.

Violence against women has been a problem for decades, Armstrong said. We wanted to make the women of Kansas State aware of violence and give them something to help protect them- selves. The class, titled Self-Defense for Women, was taught by Troy Auman, of the Manhattan ATA Black Belt Academy, and detec- tives Carla Swartz and Darla King, of the Riley County Police Department. The event was free and open to is something we have to worry the public.

Once in a while she cooks brownies or cookies and leaves them for us, Petry said. She had a great personality. There ' s nothing bad you can say — she ' s just a great person. In the fall, the Kappa Sigs hired a new housemother, Sue Griffitt. Our old house mom decided to move on, Todd Noelle, junior in political science, said. (Griffitt) is a great people person. Everyone here likes her. Noelle said Griffitt was a caring person who had an open ear. She knows how to make you feel good, Noelle said. ' ' She ' s just a wonderful lady. Griffitt did not live in-house, but usually made daily visits. She said she really enjoyed her job as housemother. I love being with youth and young men, Griffitt said. I ' m having the time of my life. It ' s the best job I ' ve ever had. There was not a problem with her living out-of-house, Noelle said. It works out just fine, he said. She has her own house which is much nicer than anything we can offer her. She comes when she pleases. She ' s always welcome.

She ' s tried to get us to do the right thing and act like gentlemen. When Noelle was unable to return home for Thanksgiving, he said Griffitt invited him to share the holiday at her house. She is someone to rely on and talk with, and someone to make the house a little more comfortable, Noelle said. She is able to say the right thing to keep me going. She ' s one of the finest people I know. In her role as housemother, Petry said Griffitt removed some of the burden on the house president. When you have someone who ' s very well organized, it takes pressure off of the president, Petry said. She can pick up and do a lot of the little things I don ' t have time to do. Griffitt used her digital camera to keep a scrapbook for the men and said it ranked as one of her best experiences as housemother. However, she said the interaction with the men was her favorite part of the job. They are a great group of guys and a lot of fun, she said. I think they ' re the greatest fraternity. 1 392npeople linen epan 1 kappa sigma i Brian Kramer McPherion, Kan Animol Sciences and Induslry • SO Ryan McAfee ...Kansos Cify, Kan.

It ' s one of our best recruit- ment tools, Schwartz said. Everyone truly believes in it. It grows mutual respect and trust.

The associate program helped the adjustment from high school to college, said Nathan Hughes, sophomore in architectural engi- neering and spring 2003 associate. It ' s something I enjoyed going through, he said. It ' s different in the way that it promotes more friendship through the house, because everyone ' s equal. No one ' s above anyone. The program offered unity among the different aged men. You get to know the older guys better by doing things with them, said Andrew Hoffman, freshman in business administra- tion and fall 2003 associate. If you have a problem with someone, you can go to them without the fear of hazing. The program did nothing but good things, Schwartz said. I wish all fraternities would do {the associate program), Hoff- man said. It would help the greek community as a whole. Students responded positively to Lambda Chi ' s associate pro- gram, Hoffman said. Some friends are think- ing of unpledging and coming to Lambda Chi Alpha, he said.

The sorority hosted the event and, although their plans to have a mechanical bull were thwarted, they entertained students with salsa dancing, ceramics, free chili and the movie Dance With Me. Rebecca Triana, president and junior in social work, said she Uked sharing her culture with students who might not have been familiar with it. (Our After Hours event) shows some of our Hispanic culture, Triana said. I don ' t think there are as many Hispanic students here as are on other cam- puses, but it ' s growing. Sigma Lambda Gamma, founded nationally in 1990, was traditionally a Latina sorority, but members were quick to state the group was open to all women. The mission is to promote diversity, Triana said. A lot of people think that because it ' s histor- ically Latina, we only have Hispanic members, but we have all kinds. Nine active members com- prised the sorority, and Triana said they shared a close bond. It ' s like a real family, Triana said. With these girls, we ' re like real sisters. We know everything about each other, and we can depend on each other. Isabel Amaya, vice president and senior in microbiology, said the group ' s small size helped members get to know one another. It allows us to be closer, Amaya said. With large sorori- ties, you may not get the chance to by Jaci Boydston know all your sisters one-on-one. These girls are my life-long sisters. Besides a shared bond, Amaya said members tried to support all multi- cultural organizations, such as Hispanic American Leadership Organization and Native Ameri- can Student Association. It ' s a way to learn different things from different people, Amaya said. It ' s important to learn from one another. Alixandra DeGuzman, senior in management, said the women worked hard to make a name for their sorority, which had only been at K- State since 1994. It ' s just amazing how we ' ve transformed ourselves, DeGuz- man said. No one used to know who we were, and there are still some people who don ' t. That ' s probably why we work so hard. greek organization n 397 pap-hedenlc Delta Sigma Theta Morgan Fisher Wichita Management • SR Krista Freeman..

Lone- distance travelers ii= by Jenny Shoemaker Phi Delta Theta alumni flew in from all over the country, bring- ing wives and suitcases for Homecoming week. The alumni were in charge of contacting their pledge broth- ers and inviting them to the event, Jason D. Miller, sophomore in construction science and management, said. It was a time for them to regroup. The alumni were responsible for planning dinner and a reception at the house. They put together a package for the hotel room and to go to the game where they could all sit together, Michael Welch, senior in marketing, said. They went to the (K- State) Alumni Center with their wives (for dinner) and we had a reception (at the house) and showed them our new house. Current house members had pre -event responsibilities. We mainly did a bunch of cleaning, Jared Kenney, freshman in chemical engineering, said, (We) bought some food and got the tailgate ready. The night before the Homecoming game, Nov. 1, alumni attended a dinner at the Alumni Center. It was really cool to have them all come back, Miller said. Some were from Chicago and, really, just all over. After the game, alumni and current members went back to the house for the reception, Kenney said. After touring the new Phi Delt house, members, past and present, gathered and shared stories, Welch said. They told jokes, Welch said. Some of them picked on the same guys they picked on back when they were in school. The alumni told current members about their traditions. One tradition was Flush Bowl, an event where the Phi Delts joined other greek houses to play a game of football. Miller said. Their pledges would have to dress up as cheerleaders, Miller said. Whoever held it that year would have a big dinner, (and they would) nominate a Flush Bowl queen. The trophy was an old toilet bowl — it was a big thing. The alumni event was a good time for everyone, Miller said. My favorite part was hearing the old stories, and what they used to do 40 or 50 years ago, Kenney said. It was interesting to know what has changed. Michael Ariesic Lenexo, Kan. Management Information Systems • SR Cody Bales -.... ..

K-State-Salina ' s Phi Delta Theta chapter teamed with the Salina Student Governing Associa- tion to organize the third Haunted Hike, the week of Halloween. Haunted Hike, an outdoor haunted house at Indian Rock Park, featured bush-lurking scar- ers, maniacs with chainsaws and dummies dropping from trees. We make it dark and scary, Kevin Gorman, senior in com- puter science technology, said. We turn what is a park in to a huge haunted hike. The hike covered about one- half mile around the park with sheets covering lights and signs to make the trail as dark as possible, Gorman said. by Lindsay Porter Doug Zerr, junior in mechani- cal engineering technology, said this hike was the best ever. It was bigger and scarier, Nathan Gorrell, junior in airway science, said. We always hope to make one year better than the last. After an absence in 2002, the men successfully returned scare thrillers to Indian Rock. The house was perfect for a haunted house, but it wasn ' t really safe for the public, Gorman said. This year was a supersonic build- ing year because we brought it bac k to the park. Phi Delts created plans, worked as scarers and guided groups of community members through the hike, Gorrell said. Although the event was funded through SGA, many of perfect scare tactics the scares were homemade to save cost, Gorrell said. Attendance each night exceeded the capacity for timely hikes. Gorrell said entrance lines were cut early some nights because too many people wanted to hike before closing. Proceeds from the week were donated to the United Way. Gorrell and Gorman agreed helping with the hike created a positive view for their fraternity. We didn ' t drop the Phi Delt name, Gorman said, but when people find out that we ' re fra- ternity guys doing this, it takes away the negative connotation of fraternities drinking all the time. Especially in Salina, we ' re the first fraternity in Salina. It gives a good connotation of our fraternity with community service. Dellon Gordon Soyre, Oklo. Adviser Karl Bergslrom Courtland, Kon.

Rilev children receive gifts I Mm Reaching out to families based at Fort Riley, Phi Gamma Delta hosted Christmas activities for children of deployed soldiers. We finally came up with the idea to throw them a Christmas party because it would allow the children to interact with young adult males, Kevin York, senior in marketing, said. Some of the children have been without their fathers for almost a year, making it very tough for their mothers. Together with Delta Delta Delta, Fiji coordinated activities for families of the 5th Infantry Division. At this Christmas party, we had quite a few activities set up for the children, so the moms could take a break for a while, York said. The activities we had set up were relay races, a moon walk, bean bag tosses, pin the nose on a snowman, basketball, crafts, cookie decorating and — the children ' s favorite — pictures with Santa. Caleb Amyot, junior in busi- ness administration, said the Christmas party allowed members of Fiji and Tri-Delt to experience something new and different during the holiday season. This activity was worth- while, Amyot said. I speak for all of us when I say that anyone who risks their life day-in and day- out for the well being of others deserves support and sincere appreciation. Ninety- five percent of the families who attended the by Christy Setter party had been without their loved ones for some time. Fiji saw the event as an excellent opportunity to support our troops by giving the adults a break from life at the base and to provide the children with a positive and fun Christmas atmosphere. The Christmas party was an overall success and members hoped it would eventually become an annual event for both houses, York said. I would definitely participate in the Fort Riley Christmas party again, said Erin O ' Connor, Tri- Delt member and senior in human ecology. Everyone had a blast playing with little kids, visiting with the mothers and spreading holiday spirit before break.

We did it to give the girls knowledge, Miller said. It would help make them feel confident when they were out, knowing they could protect themselves. Kathleen Hoffman, president and senior in kinesiology, said self- defense was important. Self-defense is an important thing, in general, for college women to know, Hoffman said.

The class consisted of three basic skills: kicking moves, how to get out of a strangle situation and how to punch and hurt an attacker without injury. The instructor provided advice about being safe. The class allowed members to learn self-defense with friends. We all partnered up, Hoffman said. It was fun to work with our friends in using the skills we learned. Miller said members enjoyed the class and gained beneficial information. When we all left and went back to the house, everyone talked about how it was so helpful, Malone said.

It ' s the largest capital gift that the foundation has received from a student group, said Julie Lea, director of communications at the KSU Foundation. Its notable because it ' s not something that comes up every day. It ' s unique; it doesn ' t compare (to other donations). The gift said quite a bit about the fraternity, Tim Lindemuth, chapter adviser, said. They gave the first gift to the university with their name on it, Lindemuth said. It ' s also the largest. The Pi Kaps, the youngest fraternity on campus, raised the money for a red rose garden to be built at University Gardens. The garden was symbolic of the fraternity ' s flower — the red rose — and shaped like their pin — a diamond. A diamond shaped garden was originally in the 1994 plans for the KSU gardens, Linde- muth said. Groundbreaking for the garden occurred April 26, but the Pi Kaps ' efforts began years before. The chapter as a whole worked to raise money doing mailings to students and alumni, Lindemuth said. It took five years, so it was not just in the last year. It was an alumni-student effort. by Jennifer Newberry President Jon Wefald assisted by writing a letter to alumni. His passion for K-State and the University Gardens was communicated to Pi Kappa Phi, Lindemuth said. The garden had additional importance as it was the first campus landmark to be named for a fraternity or sorority, John Schalekamp, senior in architectural engineering, said. The garden definitely has symbolism, Schalekamp said. Pi Kappa Phi is happy to be represented in the new garden. Officially named the Pi Kappa Phi Red Rose Garden, the garden was also built in memory of Claudene Pillsbury, the chapter ' s house mother who died in 2000. We had to do this for her, Lindemuth said. She gave $500 for the garden. Known as Mom Pillsbury to the Pi Kaps, she meant a tremendous amount to the fraternity, Lindemuth said. Near the ti me of her death, Lindemuth called the chapter together to say their last goodbyes. All of the guys got together to sing the sweetheart song — All Rose, he said. Then myself, the cook and 10 students went to the hospital. A tape recorder was placed by her ear and we played the song that the guys sang for her. The doctor said it was the most beau- tiful thing anyone had done for someone on life support. Duslin Barker Kansas City, Kan. Finance ■ SR T. Christian Burnham Coffeyville, Kan.

Out of 40 SAE members, 10 were from Buhler High School and the surrounding area. Nathan Hall, former recruitment chair and 2001 Buhler High School alumnus, said he sought the same qualities in new members that his friends carried. I look for all-around good guys — guys who are personable, can talk to people, who work hard, get good grades and would be an asset to the house, Hall, president and junior in biology, said. I knew {friends from high school) would bring quality to the house and help influence others. Their influence did not go unnoticed by other members. I think they think it ' s neat, Hall said. They wish they had friends from their high schools attending the same college and in the same house. Friendships started early in life between some of the members, but the circle of friends continued to grow after high school. I think the other members make more of an effort, Grady Wray, junior in business administration, said. They know we ' re all good friends and they want to be a part of it. I hope everyone sees it as a pos- itive opportunity for the entire house to get together as an entire group and bond with activities like intramurals, school and social events. The Buhler boys knew one other well, even through sports, Wray said. It ' s nice as far as intramurals, Wray said. I ' m playing with the same guys I played with in high school. The Buhler men played well together but other men were also strong competitors, which, when combined, created a better and stronger team, Brandon Ward, junior in biology, said. The men had been friends through many aspects of their lives, the SAE house represented their newest foundation. Hall said. Occasionally, other SAE members gave the Buhler boys a hard time saying, another guy from Buhler, Ward said. I ' m sure they thought it was going to be a Buhler-fest, W. Parker Armstrong, junior in business administration, said, but once they got to know us, and we got to know them, everyone came together. Hall and friends helped new and old members become acquainted, Armstrong said. I ' m a shy person, Ward said. I was more comfortable because I had my friends with me. Other members feel the same way. Armstong said it was great to have friends around during the transitions. We have all been friends for a long time, Armstrong said. It helps to have them here. This tight-knit friendship helped pull the entire house together by demonstrating a brotherly example that invites other members to unite. Ward said. Christopher Albers Cunningham.

Established in 1999, the program allowed high school students with an ACT score of 29 or greater, or a 1280 or greater combined SAT score, and who are admitted to K- State, to apply and interview to reserve a place in the College of Veterinary Medicine. We interview those freshman undergraduates who apply somewhere in the first three or four weeks of classes, Bonnie Rush, professor of clinical sciences, said. We ' ve taken as few as 11 and as many as 22. While in the program, students were invited to the college to meet and mingle with other students in the program. We get together with the associate dean and everyone else in the program and do neat presentations, Waugh said. Last semester, it was on presidential pets and how they affected presidential cam- paigns, which was really cool because I like politics, too. It ' s kind of a different aspect of veterinary medicine, but it ' s a fun way to get to know each other. Being in the early admit program allowed students to focus on becoming a more well-rounded student rather than concentrating on taking higher- level courses, Waugh said. I ' m looking to take French classes and I ' m probably going to Kelly Gollschalk Wichila Marketing • Sft Bridget Harkins El Dorado, Kan Pre-Veterinofy Medicine • JU Kali Horchem Ness City, Kan Open-Option • SO Kelly Hunter Overland Park, Kon Business Administration • SO Ashley Jacobs Fort Scott, Kan Textiles • SO Melody Jocobson Gardiner, Mont, Environrtientol Design • FR SaroJahansouz louisburg, Kan.

I ' m able to take classes I normally wouldn ' t be able to take. I don ' t have to cram all my pre-vet courses in and get a double major in biology and chemistry just to impress and get into vet school. The only two greek early admit students in the 2006 class, Waugh and Montgomery did not know each other before pledging Sigma Kappa. We didn ' t know it until we both had our interviews and got in, Montgomery said. It was really cool because we might live together when we are in vet school. Montgomery said the sorority would make her more responsible when it came time for classes in the veterinary college. There are a lot of time commitments that come with being in a sorority, there are a lot of events that you need to go to and little things that you have to do, Montgomery said. It gives you more time to grow up and get ready to get settled down and work really hard. Rush said the college put a lot of emphasis on leadership skills and communication skills, and the greek system provided that. (The system) contributes to individuals taking on leadership roles, working together, developing good communication skills and organizing events, she said. Those things are strongly linked to suc- cess in the profession and success as a veterinarian student. I think it ' s a valuable thing. k Jl Sigma kappa Eloina Klimchuck Fairporf, N.Y.

Photo by Evan Semon 422 a people HM Hk Ml u ■ I f I I ' l 1 Sigma nu The Sunset Revival brought revitalizing energy to Sigma Nu, May 3. The music festival, which lasted from 1 to 11 p. m., was organized by Sigma Phi Epsilon and Sigma Nu. Sunset Revival had been an annual tradition between the two fraternities since the early ' 90s. One theory to why it is called Sunset Revival is because it takes place on Sunset Avenue and it is held at the end of the year, Jason Beahm, junior in mass communi- cations, said. It ' s an opportunity to revive everyone ' s spirits. by Natalie Gervais The music line-up included local bands Lucas Joe, Gang of Hours, Lucky Joan, Ten Til Blue, Tripwire and Sun Cured Red — a band that traveled from Okla- homa to play for the festival. Outdoor shows have more of a party atmosphere, said Nicholas Schober, K- State graduate and lead guitar for Tripwire. It ' s a different sort of feeling than most shows we play. Money to pay for the bands, food, drinks and other expenses came from a $5 entrance fee and selling T-shirts, beer and food. A portion of the proceeds went energetic musical revival to a scholarship fund in the name of a Sigma Nu alumnus who died of lung disease. Regardless (of) whether we make or lose money, we will begin a scholarship fund, Beahm said. Although rain was expected throughout the day, the Sigma Nu hill kept busy with excited attendees. It is great to get everyone together and just have a good time, Kelly Ernst, senior in mass communications, said.

To raise money for their philanthropy, the National Alzheimer ' s Association, TKEs split into groups of five and six to coach powder- puff football teams comprised of women from 11 sororities. The cost was $90 per team. TKEs organized every aspect of the event, including purchasing equipment, setting the schedule, coaching and refereeing. It ' s kind of a lot of work, but it ' s worth it, Ion Hjetland, sophomore in agribusiness, said. It ' s good to go out there and have relationships between our house and the different sororities and play some football. Along with practicing coaching skills, TKEs formed friendships with sorority women. I know all the girls out there, said Bradley Simmons, junior in business administration and Kappa Delta coach. They wanted me to be the sweetheart of their sorority. Simmons said his team kept the mood light. They ' re out there to have fun, Simmons said. Basically, I ' m there to support. I dress up in goofy costumes. I got a mullet wig and a jean jacket for the game tonight. I try to make it fun for the girls. Randy Eilert, senior in biology and Alpha Xi Delta coach, had his by Jaci Boydston own way of making games and practices enjoyable. Sometimes it ' s hard to remember plays, and it makes it a lot easier if (we) come up with something to make the play more excit- ing, Eilert said. Some of the names for defensive plays are actually sexual diseases. Simmons said most of the women vocally supported their team. Usually, they get pretty into it, Simmons said. They ' re cheer- ing if they ' re not playing. All of the sororities have their little chants. It ' s actually kind of cool when you get a bunch of them out there and they ' re all in unison. Cheers were not the only things heard on the football field during powder-puff games. Eilert said trash talk added to the excitement. It ' s competitive, and, at the same time, it ' s fun, Eilert said. You give each other a lot of crap. Sometimes it gets a little rough, because the referees are guys in the house. So when you would normally keep your mouth shut about a call, you yell anyway because the referee ' s your friend. Trash talk aside, Simmons said one of the main goals of the powder-puff league was to have fun. Sports are important, but it ' s not the end of the world if you don ' t win, Simmons said. As long as they ' re having fun with it, I ' m having fun with it. Justin Baker Pre-Health • FR Long Lake, Minn. Psychology • SO .. .. Wichita Civil Engineering Technology • JU Burdett, Kan.

Theta Xi, Delta Delta Delta and Sigma Nu donated a portion of their float budget to the Boys and Girls Club of Manhattan. The original float budget for the houses was $1,250. The houses decided to use less money on the float and promote a good cause. They spent $564 on their float and donated $600 to the club. The donation limited the amount of pomp we could use, but we were not concerned, Ryan Stephans, junior in history education and Theta Xi secretary, said. Our goal was to make a substantial contri- bution to the club and not to worry about whether or not our float was of high quality. Donating money to the club was new to the fraternity, Stephans said. We have not made this type of contribution before, though we annually donate money to the Multiple Sclerosis Society to find a cure for MS with our annual Miracle Mile philanthropy, Stephans said. We chose to make the donation because we felt this was the right thing to do. So much money is spent on floats every year and they get torn down in a few days. We thought this was a better use of our funds. The donation came at the perfect time because the club ' s budget was depleted toward the end of the year, said Lisa Salladay, resource development coordinator for the Boys and Girls Club.

It is great because all of the money that they gave us went directly into the kids ' programs. Members from each of the three houses presented the donation in person, after the Homecoming parade. When the house decided to donate, we felt that it was best to present the money in person because it makes it more personal for both parties, lerrad Boyle, sophomore in architectural engineering, said. We got to see where the money was going, just as the Boys and Girls Club got to see who was making the donation. Salladay said she was especially impressed by the personal touch students gave the donation. It was Halloween and they brought a big plastic jack-o ' -lantern full of candy for the kids, Salladay said. They met with the director and I and handled the donation in a very personal way. Stephens looked forward to future philanthropic gestures. We will still have our annual Miracle Mile philanthropy in the spring where we will try to make a mile-long length of quarters on campus and then donate that money to the Multiple Sclerosis Society, Stephens said. As for next year ' s Homecoming, we hope this will become an annual tradition at Theta Xi, and will push our Homecoming partners next year to help us in this effort. inji triangle ,so ysaii clly ilioniii i_Iriangle: Dustin Wilson Senior in conipuler science Hometown: Liberal.

Photo by Chris Hanewinckel greek organization a 431 brady- r- sella I golf, lasers, Braving the summer heat, K- State -SaHna students made new friends at Jumpin ' Joe ' s Entertain- ment Center, as a part of Wildcat Welcome Week. One of the more highly attended events, the night at Jumpin ' Joe ' s, Aug. 25, was designed to benefit students, Shana Warken- tine-Meyer, Assistant Director for College Advancement, said. It introduces the students to something in the community, she said. It ' s a free opportunity and they get to meet other students. A popular aspect of the night was go-karts. Warkentine-Meyer said it was not usual for half the students to get kicked off the track for misbehaving. Jennifer Newberry I was playing with the gov- ernor in the back of the go-kart to increase speed, said Laramie Coker, freshman in electronic and computer engineering technology. I wanted to go faster because I was trying to beat my roommate, but I got kicked off the track. Not fazed by being removed from the track, Coker said he would find something else to do. College is fun so far, Coker said. I ' ve only been here a couple of days, but it ' s long enough to get into trouble. Students also played miniature golf, video games, jumbo boxing and laser tag. Our (laser tag) team smoked them, Ross Niedbalski, freshman in professional pilot, said. We used the camouflage technique. We ' re all hunters on the team, so we know how to hide. We waited until they shot someone and we shot them. Activity Chair David Swanson, senior in airway science, planned the Jumpin ' Joe ' s event. I knew the last three activity chairs personally, he said. I saw what was done before and had to top it. Also, I try to find out what people want to do, and I do it. Free for students, the event cost was $2,000, paid for by Salina Student Governing Association. People keep asking me how much this event costs, Swanson said. (It ' s) absolutely worth the money.

The first graders were on a class field trip Photo by Jeanel Drake i I becher - bryant raisp tiinn.m With fall came football season, and with football season came fans who wanted to tailgate. For first-year students at the College of Veterinary Medicine, those fans meant $13,500 would be added to their treasury. Between 215 and 250 fans parked in the area north of the veterinary medicine college. The incoming students were given the opportunity to take control of the parking lot and use it as a fund-raiser for their first year. Basically there is so much stuff thrown at the freshmen their first year, it ' s hard to get some fundraisers set up, Chris Payton, president of the class of 2007, said. This is a way that enables us, as a freshman class, to start our fund without having to go out and do a lot of fundraising our first year. The class of 108 students took a majority vote to use the parking project as a fund-raiser. They were asked to sign up to volunteer their time. About 20 students were needed to volunteer for each home football game. The preparations began Friday afternoons before the home games with three or four people staking out the boundaries for parking. Game day was divided into two shifts of 10 people each. The first shift started four hours before kickoff and lasted two hours. They a H Mf by Alicia Gilliland collected money and directed parking. The second shift worked for the next two hours. After the game started, two people monitored the parking lot every hour to keep problems from arising. After the game three or four people directed traffic and cleaned up the area. They started the season charging $5 a car for parking, but real- ized everyone else around charged $10 a car. So the class discussed it and raised prices. The fund-raiser was a great opportunity for the students to make money, but it also gave the class the chance to get to know each other better. I feel that we were a very fortunate class to be able to do this fund-raiser, said Tara Ehling, first year veterinary medicine student and fund-raiser chairman. It went over so well that it took pressure off of us as far as coming up with more fund-raising ideas. It was also a great experience for everyone to get together in small groups outside of class and get to know each other. The class will continue fund-raising for their four years at the college. The money raised will go to fees, a traditional party put on during the sophomore year, senior banquet and the gift they will give to the school in their senior year. Megan Becher Wilber, Neb.

Formally, the group was known as Flea Farm when it origi- nated in 1990 and was led by Dr. Dryden, professor in veterinary parasitology. Students involved with the research group wanted a more official name, and became known as Flea Team. The Flea Team consists of students, graduates and faculty members.

In addition, there has been research conducted on top-of- the-line flea products, hoping the decrease the national expense on pets caused by fleas. I think the neatest thing about being on the Flea team is that we ' re always aware of flea products and treatments, Payne said. Not only laboratory and biol- ogy studies have been conducted. The Flea Team has also traveled to Tampa, Fla., research projects, funded by cooperative grants from graduates, K- State and other col- laborators. Nearly 200 undergraduates and veterinary students have been hired to work on these studies in the past 13 years. Over 500 animals used in research and studies have been adopted and placed into homes, Dryden said, An active adop- tive program was developed by the Flea Team to find animals a family. The group ' s research has been recognized worldwide, consist- ing of more than 350 invitations to seminars and 50 presentations in 21 different countries. More than 50 newspaper and magazine articles have reported their studies. The Flea Team was nation- ally televised on Good Morning America, CBS This Morning, the Discovery Channel, Mona Lisa Productions in France and National News Conference in Madrid, Spain. 1 442 n people I I 1 — roach - springstead Stephanie Roach Overlond Pork, Kan Veterinary Medicine • V2 Shonnon Rodman -Morrill Manhattan Veterinary Medicine • V4 Aaron Rokey Sabeiha, Kon.

Chi Rho began in 2001 when nine men from Phi Kappa Theta, a Catholic fraternity, diverged. The reason for the departure was to create a house focused on Catholicism. D. Travis Gear, junior in history and outreach chair, said the decision to separate from the Phi Kaps was difficult, but there was a division within the men about their beliefs. Gear said despite initial ani- mosity between the groups, there was no longer a problem. We ' re both Catholic house- holds, Gear said. There ' s good men over there and I would never speak against any of them. Chi Rho was established to give Catholic men a place to come together and live their faith and not be afraid of spirituality. Gear said. He said although they were not Shelby Brown Lenexa, Kan.

Chi Rho operated like a fra- ternity except Chi Rho ' s central function was their faith. It ' s very different in the fact that, obviously, in a fraternity you don ' t have the same spirituality you would have here, Gear said. The community consisted of four apartments, each with separate features such as a chapel area, study room, television room, kitchen and sleeping rooms. Members attended meetings on Wednesdays, as well as Monday Mass in the chapel area. Spirituality, community life, academics, fellowship and out- reach were Chi Rho ' s five princi- ples, and the men had a chairman for each. An important attribute of Chi Rho, Gear said, was the ability to propel men spiritually. You can ' t become a Catholic in four or five years at K- State, he said, but we can hopefully build upon the foundation {we were) given earlier. Brent Depperschmidt, junior in economics, said the most ben- eficial part of Chi Rho was shared values between men. (The best advantage) is just the opportunity to live with a group of men who share my ideas, Depperschmidt said. (They) are working toward a common goal while living in col- lege. Matthew Stadler, sophomore in park management and con- servation, said the most advan- tageous aspect was the support system. Being able to continue to grow in my faith and going through the challenges together (helps), he said. In such a secu- lar campus, it ' s nice to have the support from somewhere. 448apeople 4 4 castaneda - cuhadaroglu Eric Coitoneda.................. ..Piano, Texas Secondary Education • SR Tamora Cates Cloftin, Kan.

Letter from the editors Through creating the corner- stones Royal Purple for students on campus, the yearbook staff truly became a cornerstone in our lives. Even after a staff leader quit and six others came and went and went, our 14 staff members dealt with extra responsibilities, longer hours and occasional discourage- ment, yet they remained commit- ted to the publication and each other. One of our goals, which helped our small staff, was to over plan. Through mini-deadlines and extra coverage, the staff finished deadlines sooner than expected while concentrating on new and different forms of coverage. By using infographics, listening to our photogs and thinking outside the box, we focused on breaking out of our rut by taking risks and being creative an d innovative. In our attempt to make the RP a household name, staffers gained bruised knees and colored hands after blanketing the campus sidewalks in chalked messages. For the first time, the Strike a Pose promotion took place in conjunc- tion with Union Program Coun- cil ' s AfterHours event to increase the number of students pictured in the yearbook. The many hours spent in our small office brought about funny, gross and you-don ' t-want-to- know-what stories about friends, Lindsay Porter and Jennifer Newberry boyfriends and our printer Perry. The staff was also fueled by exces- sive amounts of food from our adviser, monthly treats from Mrs. Newberry and a constant supply of deadline candy chips cookies on the table. Although staffers complained about the continuous supply of junk food, they whined about its absence, too. Overall, it was rewarding year with many friends made, but no engagements yet. Without the dedication of staff members and photogs, the 2004 Royal Purple would not be the cornerstone it is. Our many, many, many thanks to all who contributed throughout the year. General information: The Royal Purple was printed by Herff Jones in Mission, Kan. The 512 pages were submitted on disk for a press run of 3,800. Three different versions of the book were pub- lished. In addition to the regular campus edition, the staff also produced books with special 16 -page sections devoted to the colleges of Veterinary Medi- cine and Technology and Aviation. The signatures replaced personality profiles and main campus specific coverage. The DVD was converted into PC and Macintosh formats by NCompass Media in Sache, Texas, and pressed into 4,300 DVDs. Please see the DVD for more information about its production. Scholastic Advertising Inc. was the exclusive advertising sales representative for the printed yearbook. Advertisements for the DVD were sold and produced by the staff Strike a Pose photographs in the index were taken by Thornton Studios at no charge to students.

Ahhough most students were Kansas residents, through interaction they learned from students with other backgrounds, beliefs and values. I think one of the most striking aspects of K- State is the friendli- ness of the students and faculty and others on campus, Robert Zabel, faculty senate president, said. Friendliness, mutual respect and appre- ciation constitute cornerstones and make K- State a unique and special place. Another reason for K- State ' s success was student action. Students constantly strived to improve themselves through academics, sports and relationships. Through student and faculty acheivements, departments grew, programs honored and champions made. The experience students have at K- State is the foundation of their life experiences, Terry King, dean of engineering, said. They develop skills throughout the university. While students came to K- State for an education and life experi- ences, their influence on the university left a lasting impression with both parties. There is a concept of family, President Jon Wefald said. If you ' re a K- Stater, you ' re a K- Stater forever. 51 On cornerstones ym Senior center ! i-- Ohide and senior forward Amy Dutmer embrace while women ' s basketball players celebrate their Big 12 Conference regular season co-championship with the Texas Longhorns after the March 3 win over Texas Tech.
