President Jon Wefald, in his State of the UnivejfSK ' address, announced his plan to move K-State into the toa all land-grant universities. m The 23,151 students paid $125.45 per cred our for in-state and $417.45 per credit hour for out-of-state tuitioru Tuition as a whole increased by double-digits for the third co Kutive year. In his address, Wefald acknowledged that K-Siate could not continue to impose double-digit tuition increases upon students. Despite these increases, enrollment at K-State in Manhattan increased 9.9 per- cent, while enrollment at K-State-Salina decreased bv 9.3 percent. More students took classes ii the College of Arts and Sciences than any other college in the i Ksity. Stephen White, Arts and Sciences dean, said 56 percen Hall credit hours generated came from the College of Arts dn mences. Since 1986, the universn HTproduced more Rhodes, Marshall, Truman, Goldwater and IJdall S( holars than any of the other 500 public universities. Ethan Baughnian recei ' ed a 2004 Goldwater Schol- arship and Brooklyn I .ippelnian received a 2004 Truman Scholarship. 1 think that oin students come to K-State well prepared and, more importanth jj La serious desire to learn, Wefald said. They ' re energed Hmusiastic, hard-working and friendly. The faculty are just dtitsMnding, with many, many faculty involved in world-class research. Wefald said K-State faculty found an effective wav to combine faculty research and teach in a wav that best benefited students. I notifiied r ht away that the students .md faculi seem to have a good balance in life, Michael Holen, dean of the College of Edu- cation, said. They like to work hard airalike to play hard. They know how to be serious and how to KBe fun. They have traditional values but are willing to look a way of working at things. Holen said a good, remad re relationship existed between the corpmunity and the ly ity. Mentor programs, such as Big Br oth rs and Big Siste de Manhattan a good place to live, and those programs wer enhanced by students. . The communitjf-uouldn ' t be able to do a lot of those things pre-university students without the help of college students, Tolen said. The relationship between the community and the iniversitv is good. ; Students participated in other activities that benefited element tar , junior high and high school students. Acacia ' s pillow fight, S a 25, needed 1,500 participants to break the world record. Ition fees were collected and donated to the Manhattan Si 6ol Strict to help leadership programs. J. At n a.m. Sep 25, Cecilia Knapp, ■ sophomore in business administration, swings her pillow at other pa ' ticipants in the Pillow War. Acacia froternih organized the event hoping to break the world record, but fell short. The event was a fundraiser for leader- ship programs in local schools. I was a little disappointed in the turnout, Knapp said. I loved hitting with th e pillow. It relieved tons of stress.

The tire was retired after four months of use. We just got bored one day, Dirks said. Then we decided to use my roommate ' s old tires from his truck to swing on.

The old stadium provided a place for students to exercise since its remodeling two years ago. As a part of the renovation, a new track was added to the stadium and the field was redone. Photo by Drew Rose Itlifc In a word, the people are the most remarkable thine about K-State. President Jon Wefedd remarkable continued from page 2 The face of campus changed drastically due to the removal of one building and the addition of two state-oi-the-art complexes. The demolition of Denison Hall began late May and ended approximately one month later. The area, named Coffman Com- mons for outgoing Provost James R. Coffman, provided an open view of the front of Hale Library. Construction on two of the five buildings for the Grain Science Complex, located on Kimball Ave., was complete by May. Dedica- tion for the International Grains Program Conference Center occurred May 1, and use of the building began soon after by host- ing international guests and teaching short courses about grain products. The Bioprocessing and Industrial Value-Added Center began immediate use upon completion. Three other buildings — Flour Mill; Feed Mill and Teach- ing Research; Baking and Administration — had yet to be con- structed. With groundbreaking Oct. 24, 2003, and construction begin- ning in 2004, the K-State Biosecurity Research Institute, north of the Veterinary Medicine Complex, continued to change the face of campus. The $50 million institute provided an environmentally safe and secure location for K-State scientists to study pathogens threatening humans, livestock and crops, and to prevent the same microbes from spreading to the nation ' s food supply and harming the national economv. Construction was expected to be complete in 2006. Although work and research were part of K-State, students took time out to focus on extracurricidar activities, like rimning at Memorial Stadium. Students living at 919 Leavenworth created a new use for an old truck tire by making it into a swing. Characteristic of K-State, compared to other universities, was the desire of students to succeed in the face of challenge, Holen said. The entire university has the attitude that they can do big and important things in the face of a lot of challenge and lack of resources, he said. (We have a) community that believes people work together and can accomplish goals that you wouldn ' t expect a university with a lack of resources to do. We have people loyal to the luiiversitv and that lovaltv leads them to go the extra mile. opening tanielle Orrick, ( man in open-option, eats watermelon during ttie annual Watermelon Bust at Purple Power Play on Poyntz.

Plioto by Ctiris Hanewinckel While the pursuit of careers brought students to. campus, they filled their time relaxing at Pillsbury Crossing, hunting in the pre-dawn hours or cosmic bowling on Friday nights. Students demonstrated remarkable dedication through community involvement like K-State ' s Big Event, and student firefighters who worked all night and then attended classes. Students chose fi om a variety of activities that occurred at all hours of the day and night. di i,si ()n X % . A - 4 tt. -.

Plus, there ' s fishing and swim- ming. After a number of complaints from visitors about broken bottles and other litter throughout the area, the park prohibited alcohol, Hulbert said. (Alcohol) is the biggest problem we have out there, Hulbert said, At least 80 tickets per year are written out for that alone. Students agreed alcohol should be banished from the area. Mark Maynard, freshman in agricultural economics, said he understood the dangers of the area with slick, shallow spots and jagged rocks. Hulbert said no accidents had occurred at Pillsbury since he began working there; however, he thought they may not have been reported. With the drive out here, it ' s probably better (that alcohol is banished), Monica Ahrens, freshman in business administration, said. Pillsbury Crossing did not have any organized events, Hulbert said, but there was still an average of 1,700 visitors per month. Pillsbury had as many as 2,400 visitors per month during the summer and around 700 during the winter. Crabtree said he first visited the area because friends recommended it.

V ' « %f Greeks compete in friendly challenge in order to help local children Fight for the Cause by Mary Bershenyi Kappa Kappa Gamma and Delta Chi brought five six-foot tall balls, eight sororities and 13 fraternities together for their annual philanthropy. Finding a good weekend for the philanthropy proved to be a challange. Intended to occur during the spring, Earthball had to be pushed back to the fall after being rained out two weekends in a row in April. The weather made it really hard to put together last spring so we finally decided that instead of trying to schedule it around finals and the end of the year we would just move it to the fall seiTiester, said Erin Leonard, senior in communication sciences and disorders and Kappa president. Among the multi-colored balls, soccer nets, and hundreds of Greek men and women, members of Kappa and Delta Chi acted as coaches and team leaders for each participating fraternity and sorority. Most of our members act as coaches but they are also out here organizing registration, timing the games and working first aid, said Sheldon Bucl, senior in management information systems and Delta Chi philanthropy chairman. It is a really fun philanthropy to be involved with. The Kappa Delta Chi tradition had been long standing since 1997, Bucl said, and raised money for the children in Manhattan Head Start, one of the official philanthropies of Kappa. The orga- nization was a government-funded preschool helping families and giving young children skills to be successful as they progressed in school, including reading skills, basic math and writing. Some girls go out and do recess duty during the year, Kourt- ney Bettinger, junior in biology and Spanish, said. We meet the kids and they get to know who we are helping by raising all of this money. Together, Delta Chi and Kappa worked to secure sponsorships from local businesses, sold t-shirts to members and encouraged as man ' teams as possible to sign up from each fraternity and soror- ity. Each of the 21 teams, made of 12 people, worked together to push the six-foot, parachute fabric balls from one sideline of Memorial Stadium to the other, battling 12 players from the opposing team. We are always looking to support a good cause, Allyson Knight, senior in marketing, said. Earthball is a good cause, but it is also really fun. We are going to go all the way this year — we have to win.

Dutton and his friend from Yates Center, Kan. went out to hunt every chance they had. I know this sounds ridiculous, Dutton said, but I kept my Tuesday and Thurs- day mornings open so I could hunt. Photo by Chris Hanewinckel RISE by Kari Casterline J6 student life p early rise continued from page 15 In the early morning hours, Shiloh Dullon, sophomore in sec- ondar education, and Zach Morrison, sophomore in agricultural economics, searched for the perfect location in the hills west of Manhattan to dove hunt. As the sun peaked over the horizon, Dutton and Morrison waited next to a pond for a do e to fly over. Normally at night, by a body of water, doves fly in, .Morrison said. And in the morning if you are waiting before the sun comes up, the dove will fly out. Morrison said waiting was the game when he tried to shoot doves because they were small and blended in with other birds. However, he said a distinct flying pattern sepa- rated them. As Dutton and Morrison wailed patiently, blended into nature, Dutton slowly moved down the field to scout the area. Dove hunting is waiting, Dutton said. Usually, you let them fly by and you don ' t have to walk, but because we got a late start, we had to go out and find them. Hunting every chance they had, both Dutton and Morrison said they went on walk-in grounds around Manhattan, but usually hunted back home on family land where Dutton first started to hunt. My grandpa gave me my first gun, Dutton said. My dad, uncle and grandpa got me started, then I started going with friends in high school. Helen Hands, of the Cheyenne Bottoms Wildlife Area, a divi- sion of Kansas Wildlife and Parks, said between 70,000 and 80,000 people hunted doves in Kansas during the season. Dutton said dove season was the most popular because it opened first, and people used dove hunting as practice for other seasons to come. Morrison said he went dove hunting to pass the time before pheasant season opened. Though Dutton said he spent most of the time constantly shooting and reloading, he found down time to relax. (Dove hunting) is relaxing, Dutton said. There is more time to sit with buddies. While Dutton brought back the only bird, Oct. 4, the two men experienced bonding time as they hunted. I don ' t care if I hit one, Dutton said. I ' d just like to say that I shot at one. As he cleaned fiis only catch, Dutton exposes the only eatable part of the dove. The breast has two parts — the top layer Is dark meat and the bottom is white, Dutton said. You can cook the breast with bacon wrapped around It, or put it in mushroom soup.

Photo by Lindsey Baumon by AlexYocum Leslie Marshall Mary Bershenyi The weekend of Sept. 2 marked the beginning of the 20th Purple Power Plav on Poyntz celebration. The event kicked off the first football game of the season and brought more than 50 ven- dors and 12,000 people wearing purple to Poyntz Ave. The Power Plav, sponsored by Intrust Bank, had attractions for every age. The activities included water wars, rock climbing, radio and food services, slides and jumping castles. In addition to the celebration, the event raised money to benefit Manhattan, K-State and national non-profit programs. The booth for the KSU Child Development Center promoted their cause. Liz Simmons, jimior in elementary education, helped children fish for prizes. This event brings so mam people, Simmons said. It is a great way to get support. The main event of Thursday night was Lambda Chi Alpha ' s Watermelon Bust philanthropy. Alex Ball, junior in marketing, said the bust began in 1955 and is the longest running K-State philan- thropy. The money raised went to the Flint Hills Bread Basket, which feeds the underprivileged in Manhattan. I feel all of the men of Lambda Chi Alpha left the event with a great feeling inside, Ball said, knowing that they had worked so hard to help out a wonderful cause. Watermelon activities, such as an eating contest, bowling, twister, chariot races and a throwing contest, kept the many sorori- ties involved for three hours. You got to throw watermelon at the other sororities and get them dirty, Claire Chapman, freshman in business administra- tion, said, but it ' s all in love. As game day approached, the events on Po) ntz came to a close with appearances by athletes. The football team made an appear- ance Thursday night. Friday night showcased the K-State March- ing Band, along with the cheerleaders and the Classy Cats. The women ' s and men ' s basketball teams voiced support for the upcom- ing seasons following the performance. The night ended with an appearance by Willie the Wildcat while fireworks lit the sky. (Purple Power Play on Poyntz) was a huge success, Ball said. Everyone involved had a great time and it was a great way to kick off the highly anticipated K-State football season. continued on page 20 rs student life k , llowing the K-State larching Band and ' cheer squad during Purple Power Play on Poyntz, Willie tli Wildcat helps pum up the crowd.

The night ' s activities began with the last night of Purple Power Play on Poyntz where students and the Manhattan community enjoyed a live band and fireworks. Students under 21 enjoyed life outside Aggieville, while others Q lined the streets waiting to enter Kite ' s Bar and Grill, Rusty ' s Last Chance and Shotz. We can ' t get into any of the bars, Sage Shepherd, freshman in engineering, said, but we can still throw a kick-ass party with kegs. Meanwhile, at the parties outside Aggieville, students played [ card games, like Presidents and Assholes, or P A, danced and ' ■ ' ■ ■ participated in keg stands located in the basements of off-campus r T parties. I just follow my friends around from party to party, Kelley Reeve, sophomore in open-option, said. ' As long as I have my vodka and Seven-Up, I ' m good to go. Attending parties allowed students to let loose and forget about their classes and tests they needed to study for, Sage Himmerz, freshman in open-option, said. I have to get up early every other morning of the week, Him- merz said. (Friday) is the only night I get to go out and party. Most people hung out with friends to enjoy their free time, while some looked for a significant other. I ' m here for the ladies, Shepherd said. I don ' t want any red heads though, just blondes and brunettes. Later that evening, Mike Edwards, junior in marketing, cele- brated a friend ' s 21st birthday with four kegs. On-campus residents played video games and socialized in their residence halls while studying. I play a lot of video games when I don ' t drink, Shepherd said. I play video games when I do drink. I just play a lot of video games and look for the ladies. Although a majority of students partied on Friday night, some left for home to see their families. I ' m going to go to the (football) game tomorrow evening and then head back to Kansas City. Rebecca J. Brown, freshman in business administration, said. I ' m ready to see my fa mily and have my mom do my laundry. continued on page 23 As party-goers raise their glasses, Tru Knudsen, freshman in mechanical engineering, starts a game of Circle of Death at a party, Sept. 3. Knudsen said he also enjoyed a gome he called ' Beer Die. ' You have four cups, and there are four people playing, Knudsen said. One side tries to (throw the die) in the other team ' s cup. If you make it, (the other team has) to drink their beer.

The purpose of a keg stand was to consume the most beer In the shortest time pos- sible. We play a lot of drinking games, Sage Shepherd, freshman in engineering, said. It ' s just another way to get drunk.

We ' re a lot better than a lot of other schools because we ' re nicer and more respectful of the other schools when they come to town. Photo by Drew Rose ? 72 hours continued from page 20 SaturdiU, Sept. 4, marked tlie first 2004 Wildcat football game and the start of the time-honored tailgating tradition. Almost 20 hours before kickoff. two dozen vehicles sat scattered throughout the KSU Stadiiun parking lots in preparation for the day to come, and by the 6 p.m. kickoff, every lot was filled to capacity. According to K-State Sports Information, attendance numbered 46,740 at the season opener against Western Kentucky ' s Hilltoppers. We ha ' e been out here for hours, Nicole Schindler, senior in fine arts, said. W ' e were waiting vhen they opened the gates at 1 p.m. Beyond students, alumni and families, beer cans, soda bottles and the smell of grilled hamburgers, sat a dull, yellow school bus with bright, purple Powercats painted on the sides like flames. The school bus had been acquired by Eric Galyon, senior in architectural engineering, during the 2003 football season. I bought it from a chiuxh just for tailgating, Galyon said. It was about a year and a half ago. We came out a couple of times after I got it last year but we ' ll probably bring it to every home game this year. Seth Sanders, senior in finance, sat in a lawn chair on top of the bus and smoked a cigar. From Sanders ' point of view, high above the parking lots, the revelry and excitement synonymous with K-State tailgates unfolded. Tailgating is the best part, Sanders said. Everybody is out here, evervbody is drinking. It ' s cool. As the afternoon wore on, fans headed into the stadium, but a few diehards remained, including Meghan Luttrell. junior in elementary education. We got here late; it was about 2:45, so we ' re going to stay out a little longer, Luttrell said. Tailgating is the best on the days wh en it is going to be a blowout, but the big games are good. The Wildcats defeated the Hilltoppers 27-13, and by 10 p.m. KSU Stadium was again quiet and the parking lots empty imtil the next game weekend. C ) C D After a stop on the opening kick-off against the Western Kentucky Hilltoppers, freshmen wide receiv- ers Marcus Watts and Jake Brestel cel- ebrate. Yards were not easy to come by, Coach Bill Snyder said. We did good things defensively, but there were critical downs where their passing game hurt us.

Starting Aug. 27, Rock ' It Bowl, a weekly cosmic bowling event, gave students a safe place to go on Friday nights, without having to worry about alcohol. We came out here to have fun and meet people, Eric Gulley, freshman in theater, said. This is one of the few places I can go without having to worry about people drinking. Gullev and his friends were not avid bowlers, he said, but the cosmic bowling brought them to the Union anyway. Austin Jonas, sophomore in mechanical engineering, was a regular at the bowling alley. I came here a lot last year, he said. I like regular bowling better but I thought that I would try Rock ' It Bowl. The bowling alley advertised the event around the Union and also at the residence halls. There were signs all over this week, Jeremy Hostin, freshman in journalism and mass communications, said. I knew that there was a bowling alley but I didn ' t know that they had cosmic bowling until I saw the sign upstairs (in the Union). Hostin, who was hosting friends from his hometown of Liberty, Mo., said bowling would be a nice break from their standard activ- ity of watching movies in the dorms. As the night progressed, a disc jockey played requests — every- thing from Britney Spears to 50 Cent - the waiting list grew to a 30-minute wait for a lane and the owners offered the crowd free games, food and K-State merchandise if they could answer K-State trivia questions. Several men living in Goodnow Hall organized one of the big- gest groups in the bowling alley for a floor activity. There were a couple of guys talking about it at our floor dinner, said Bevin Wesselman senior in biology and Goodnow fifth floor resident assistant. They invited everyone and a bunch decided to go. It is something fun to do. It is a good, safe choice. stud ent life JI4 . «d ■ ' -«« n Bowlers choose between a variety of different colored and sized bowling balls. The K- State Student Union Bowling alley had balls in almost every color. It was the bowler ' s individual preference that determined which ball they used. The only thing that mat- ters is whether you have the pink ball when the black lights are on, Robert Curiel, sophomore in political science, said. And it is fun to see guys use pink florescent bowling balls. Photo by Chris Hanewinckel Following a less than perfect four-pin bowling roll, Jennifer A. Jensen, freshman in biology, slumps against bowling partner Ross Madak, freshman in open- option, for moral support. However, she said she maintained an admirable 18-point lead against Madak, during Friday night Rock ' It Bowl, with a 94-76 score. They had something like that (with the lights) at home, Jensen said. I thought I ' d just give it a fry. Photo by Chris Hanewinckel lacklLtJ bowl ? As the day ends, L. Niecy Tajuba, sopho- more in political sci- ence, and technology and Matt Prascher, sophomore in phys- ics, practice marching in line and working on their tuba skills. I think that by being so busy, we all learn how to manage our time really well, Krista Patton, sophomore in elementary educa- tion, said. I stay really busy, but I stay caught up because I know the practices and performances that I have ahead of me. Photo by Drew Rose After marching in lines for almost an hour, band members take a five-minute break to lounge on Memo- rial Field before they regroup. They broke into smaller groups to work on their marching and timing. The band members practiced 11 hours a day during their six days at band camp. I love band, Jana Patton, freshman in nutrition science, said. You have 300 instant friends who you spend a lot of time with throughout the season. Photo by Drew Rose rr student life eariv ' ractiee help - • • r I bvCht a by Christy Setter Before most students made tlieir way back to Manhattan for the fall semester, the K-State Marching Band had already begun preparations for another event-filled season. A six-dav band camp taught ne v members the basics oliiiarching and ga e everyone the chance to practice routines. The first few sessions we work on fimdamentals and learning different styles of marching, saidjana Patton, clarinet player and freshman in nutrition science. Then we have marching tests to make sine von can march and play at the same time. Members rehearsed from 8:30 a.m. until 9:30 p.m. throughont the week. It is necessary to start band in the simimer because if we waited until school started everyone would be really overwhelmed, said Krista Patton, piccolo player and sophomore in elementary education. It is a lot easier to focus on the fundamentals when you don ' t have school and a million other things to worry about. Throughout camp, the band worked on their pre-game show and the first half-time routine, which allowed them to practice on Wagner Field. Practicing at the stadium helps the band to get the feel of the field and know where to go, Dvlan Palmer, tuba, freshman in open-option, said. It helps make the best show and to give the right impression to the crowd. Recognized for their performances at football games, the band worked to improve the atmosphere for fans. The first (performance) — we did the TV Land, said Ginny Penn, piccolo player andjimior in animal sciences and industry. It ' s a whole combination of (medleys). The TV Land performance included songs from sitcoms such as the Monkey ' s, I Love Lucy and the Brady Bunch. Penn said the Classy C ats performed their dance feature to this medley of songs. Despite the 1 1-hour time commitment required for band camp, members said they felt the experience was rewarding. The best part of being in band is actually getting to perform in front of people, Jana said. I love getting to be part of such a great group. The Manhattan community recognized a:id welcomed the band outside the K-State environment, Palmer said. Playing for people other than just at campus builds spirit because we are able to see first-hand how the community actually respects us and enjoys listening to us, he said. We aren ' t consid- ered the typical ' band geeks, ' but rather as a contributing part of the community. That ' s awesome. As the sun sets, Dr. Frank Tracz, director of K-State IVlarch- ing Band, conducts the band as the day comes to an end.

The Big Event, a program designed by the Student Affairs and Social Services Committee, was a dav devoted to service in the Manhattan commu- nit b K-State students. Jason Heaser, sophomore in political science, said he based the idea for the event on a Texas A M coninnmity service project. Point man for the proj- ect, Heaser said he, along with other inembers, spent himdreds of hoius talking, planning and working on the project to make it K-State ' s own. Numerous donors, including Pat Bosco, dean of student life, contributed money to help purchase supplies and other building materials for the house projects aroimd the commu- nitv. The students were split into groups and cleaned up houses. Although the event helped anyone who needed it. the elderly benefited most. The student groups raked leaves, mowed lawns, trimmed hedges, and painted houses, sheds and window trim. This brought out the ability of the students to show they could do good things when we joined together, Heaser said. It was fulfilling to see K-State students doing these good deeds. Heaser, along with project member Jennifer Mosier, freshman in biology, said they hoped to keep the K- State Big Event tradition alive, and make it bigger and better by getting the community and students involved to reach a broader array of people. I felt a great sense of self -fulfillment at the notion of helping others, Ashley Friesen, junior in English, said. Knowing that we helped someone and created asting relationships with members from our community is a wonderful feeling. It encourages a hopeful spirit to believe that we are all a part of a greater humankind that is striving to do positive, good deeds for one another.

The event provided help for those in need of assis- tance with yard work and exterior paint- ing in the Manhat- tan community. We were out there about two hours maybe, Boiler said. I feel like I accomplished my good deed for the day.

Student firefighters carried full academic loads and worked 5 p.m. to 8 a.m. weekday shifts at the Manhattan Fire Department. On weekends, shifts lasted 24 hours — 8 a.m. to 8 a.m. It is actually a really great job for being a student, Theodore Stroope, senior in construction science management, said. If nothing happens, you get to sleep through the night. There aren ' t many jobs you can sleep at. Stroope said sometimes the term student firefighters was interpreted to mean a firefighter of a lesser degree, but that was not the case. At the Manhattan Fire Department in particular, if we ' re working a 24-hour shift, we have to be working all the time. Stroope said. The first thing we do everyday is the trucks get checked in and the station gets cleaned up. Mike Satterlee, senior in animal science and industry, said being a firefighter was something he wanted to do. I was really interested in getting into the fire services and this was just a good way to do it while I was in school, Satterlee said. It ' s a job you can enjoy going to. Being a student firefighter offered students variety because it was never the same from one day to the next. I guess you never really know what you ' re going to do when you get to work with different situations that arise, Satterlee said. Everyday there isn ' t a huge fire, but it ' s exciting to know you ' re going to go to work and not do the same thing you did last night. Both Satterlee and Stroope said being a student firefighter was good experience for anyone who might want to pursue firefighting as a career. continued on page 32 firefighters jr Watching Garett Ruby, senior in sociology, wash a firefrucl , David Graham, junior in human ecology, passes the time.

Don ' t give up if you don ' t get hired the first time around. G et involved in voliuiteer fnefighting in your community — it ' s a good way to get your foot in the door. Jerry Snyder, assistant chief, said the Manhattan Fire Department depended on the student firefighters. They are very important to our operations, Snyder said. We use them mainly during the school year (In) summertime, we kind of put them on a full- time firefighter schedule and we use them the same as we would any other firefighter. They ' re a tremendous help. Snvder said the only requirements to become a student firefighter were being a full-time undergraduate student at either K-State or ManhattanI Christian College with a 2.0 grade point average. ' Graduate students had to be enrolled in at least six hours and maintain a 3.0 GPA. He said many became student firefighters because firefighting appealed to them. Quite a few of them that we get already have somel interest as firefighting as a career, Snyder said. We do have quite a few students who go full time and that works out well for us if they want to go full time, because we know what kind of worker they are. Stroope said he loved being a student firefighter It ' s such an enjoyable job; it ' s not even funny, Stroope said. It ' s a really easy job to get up and go to in the morning. flR X X smjdent life V. Students displayed renparkable dedication in liTC, dcYlai ' nic studyand ' yilctics.

While slie worked at a tonvenieiue store, her husband Ron Oiir lamilv was falling apart, Dreyer said. I had asked lor a divorce a couple weeks before. The only way he thonghl he conid keep lis together was in Heaven. Orever bargained with IVii ano. Siie ])romised to never divorce him if he allowed her to live, she said. Drever and Peirano later arrived at their home where she Ibiind both their children dead. The police arrived while Drever stood outside, holding one of her daughters. Peirano was arrested and convicted of two counts of fnst-degree minder and one count of second-degree attempted mindei. He leceiwd a sentence of 43 years in jail before being eligible for parole. The next months were consumed by a growing dependencv on alcohol. Dreyer became pregnant with Iter third child. Zacharv, el she did not stop drinking. Onlv alter a close friend pointed out her desti iictive behavior, did she fnid the coinage to begin living a clean life. That coinage helped her enroll in fall 2()()() classes. She began studying computer science, having never turned on a com|3utei pi ior to her first class. Pedro Leite explained evervthing to me, Dreyer .said, l owe a lot to him. lie sat down and showed me the basic things. He got me through it. Four years later, Drever worked towards her Ixichelor ' s in computer science and technology. She obtained an associate ' s degi ee and added a business bachelor ' s to her schedule. The thing that sets )anet apart was her insistence on understanding the material, Kendall Griggs, professor in arts, sciences and business, said. She scored a 100 percent on the first four tests ill my cla.ss. 1 had never seen that in 40 ears of teaching. In addition to a lull course schedule, she found time to work at the K-Stale-Salina library, keep her job at the convenience store, write lor the K-State-Salina newspaper and vokmteer for her eight year-old son ' s soccer team and Cub Scout group. 1 want to be somebodv.

Knowing her, knowing what she is capable of, I am sure she will do very well, Pedro Leite, assistant professor in engineering technologx, said. She has every- thing in perspective. Her priorities are well defined and she knows what she f wants. She has never forgotten where she came from. She keeps going and Drever said the exents of that night were always with her. She thought of her daughters daih and tielieved she saw signs of their ])resence. I feel like I ha e two angels on my shoulders, Dre ei said. They are alwavs there, watching out for me. 1 J .  _ mm.

Guerre Juggled clas.ses, practices, matches and attempted to have a personal life. You pretty much ha e no life — you live either in Ahearn or the engineering building, she said. I sleep at home, and that ' s aboiii it. Coach Fritz said Guerre balanced her schedule as well as any player she had e er seen. I just think she ' s very goal-oriented and has a plan set forth for heiself and is determined to stay with it, Fritz said. Her academics are very important to her. Even with the best possible schedule balancing, conflicts still arose between sports and studies. Nonually I tr to make up labs and quizzes and stufT beforehand, Guerre said. It ' s just hard when I have lots of labs and stuff thai conflict with practice time. The combination of college and an NGAA Division I spori combined to be the hartl- est thing, she said.

After college, Baughman planned to pursue an M.D. PhD. degree — a seven to eight-year program that most Goldwater scholarship recipients go through, he said. I can take either path, Baughman said.

They are affiliated scientists that perform research in some Avay relevant to cancer, said Rob Dennel, distinguished professor in biologv and director of the Terry C.Johnson Center for Basic C ' ancer Research. We ha e people in biologv. biochemistry, chemistry, in the et school and in human ecology. Named after Terry C.Johnson, director of the center before his death from cancer in 2002, Dennel said the center received funds from generous donors and made them available for various avenues aroiuid campus. I ' m in charge of interacting with oin- donors, interacting with oin- scien- tists, Dennel said. We give lots of scholarships to incoming students into the biomedical sciences. Dennel said the center did not do clinical research, which was aimed at human patients, but rather basic research. Were studying the basic changes happening that cause cells to act in a way that gives rise to cancers, Dennel said. We have a group that is stud ing stem cell research who are looking for a way to deliver drugs to brain iinnors. Dennel also said groups worked on studying the relationship between obe- sity and cancer, and genetic changes associated with himians. He said an advantage of studying insect .systems was that the researchers could do testing on insects that would be considered unethical on hiunans. One area, in which some people are skirting a philosophically important thing, is our stem-cell researchers, Dennel said. They are stem-cells which come from human lunbilical cord matrix. They are avoiding (the controversv) by using non-embryonic soiu ' ces. Dennel said many of the labs started with different types of organisms, but they all used a set of overlapping common techniques. Laila Farzana, graduate student in biology, said she studied beetles and injected beetle eggs and embryos with genes. Studying a different area, Kathy Leonard, a research assistant in biology, spent eight to nine hoius in a lab looking for dominant mutation in bugs. I will go over to the microscope and look for glowing green eyes, Leon- ard said. That will tell me I have a possible mutation. Dennel said one of the missions of the center focu.sed on outreach. One way the center did this was with an activity book aimed towards grade school kids who had cancer or knew someone who did. It talks about Mr. M ' addle who ' s a scientist (who) studies cancer, Dennel said. It tells (kids) something about cancers, talks about research labs, tells them how (cancer) is made up of cells and what happens when the cells start dividing out of control. Dennel said the center did research not normally foiuid, and it set the center apart from places like the Kansas medical school and other depart- ments. The fact that we have an integrated group that are taking so man approaches to studying cancer relevant research is what sets us apart, he said. rcmarkiib show results Students campus benefit from v oltinteers, other ser ice oi-ganizations I Campus organizations all over the K-State campus contributed ; to the unnersity, alumni and students every semester.

Alilioiioh slightly lower than the past, the actual revenue taken in, just short of §1.6 million, reflected higher than usual. K-Slate aliunni are amazingly supportive, Cordon Dowell, director of annual giving, said. In the 25 years K-State had participated in Telefinul. students received 41.3,881 pledges, raising .$18.44 million to be directed towards scholarships and educational programs in the academic colleges on campus. A network of student legislatures and administers in each college is responsible for lilling the chairs, Dowell said. This is important because an unused phone will cost the college $850. An average of $850 in pledges per phone each night made it well vorlh having each chair filled. Dowell said every college on campus worked two of the 2.3 nights during January and Febru- ary throughout Telefund. Students called alumni Irom their own college to ask for donations and all the money raised stayed within their college. Each college di ided its donations differently, but for all, the majorit) ' of the money went into scholarships for students of the college. Dowell said a total of 1,560 students participated in Tele- fund. Over 100 local businesses donated prizes for the Telefund. All the prizes donated residting in $60,000-70,000 worth of prizes given away. There are several reasons (why students participated), Dowell said. The niunber one rea.son is to help their college, number two would be the prizes, and three, it ' s a lot of fini. Habitat for Hiunanity, a contributing organization working to end poverty housing around the world, established itself in the Manhattan area in 1994.

Over 90 peicent of our products are sold at the heginning of each semes- ter, said Sle e Levin, K-State Student Union BooksU)re mauagei-. Especially in the fall due to new freshman and transfer students. According to Levin, students spent an average of $86 on purchases, which ranged from pencils to textbooks in the Union Bookstore. Along with books and school supplies, students took advantage of the value T-shirts starting at $9.99. I piobably spend too much on clothes and going out to eat, William E. Jackson, freshman in apparel marketing and design, said. I am not the aver- age studeiU when it comes to my spending habits. Jackson said he spent over $1,500 on lecreational and personal expenses pel month. Other students used their money for educational supplies. Mat- thew Dugan, Junior in landscape architecture, said he spent over .$3,000 on a required computer for aichitecture sttidio. The most expensive supplies belong to the architecture students who spend most of their money on portfolios, drawing boards and specialty writing supplies, Le in said. A freshman in architecture typically spent $2,000, Dugan said, on sup- plies such as drafting boards and models. He also said the models alone cost anywhere from $20 to $100. We had to do four models each semester, Dugan said, and the last model we did in the spring was over $100. Dugan said sophomore architecture students splurged on markers that cost up to $1.50 for a set of 48. The markers were really worth the money I spent, Dugan said. I still have the inarkers today and expect them to last another three to four years. Although supplies added up to a considerable amount of money, students also spent a good portion of their money on rent. Accoiding to the 2004-2006 K-State Undergraduate Catalog, students that lived in residence halls spent around $2,700 per semester. I got really lucky and only have to pay $17.5 a month in rent and utili- ties, Brandi Brinegar, senior in marketing, said, h leaves a lot of room in my checkbook for groceries and going out to eat. Some students cooked at home to save money; however, many students who lived on their own found it easier to eat out instead of buying groceries. Overall, I spend aroimd $600 (per month) on food, most of which is eating out, said Gina Leber, senior in family studies and human services. I don ' t usually cook that much at home, h ' s easier to just grab soinething on my way to class. While enrollmeiu at K-State Salina decieased by 9.3 percent, enrollment ; at K-State in Manhattan increased by 9.9 percent, according to the K-State Cashier ' s office.

Coach Bill Snyder addressed the crowd. He spoke about the line up and the impact the team hoped to make. Snyder handed the spotlight over to the five football team captains who talked about the goals of the season. When practice ended, players and coaches signed autographs for fans. Autograph tables were set up along the stadium, where players signed the free posters fans received when thcv entered the stadiiun. Everyone was having so much fim, Elizabeth Pyle, junior in joinnalism education, said. There was that pre-tailing feeling in the air, Coach Bill Snyder addressed the crowd, Aug. 26, after the hour-long practice.

Held outside in the Bosco Student Union Plaza, contestants participated in three bug-eating events. The first event was mealworms mixed with oatmeal and dried apples, said Trisha Gott, freshman in social work and member of the entertainment committee for Open House. Contestants had to pick up (the mixture) with their mouth and take it from one plate to the other. Erik Ankrom, student body vice president, said his strategy was to get as big a mouthful as he could each time. There was a lot of oatmeal in the container along with the worms, so it wasn ' t as bad as just grabbing a bimch of mealworms, Ankrom, senior in management information systems, said. A couple of times, you didn ' t quite get all the mealworms out and you could feel them moving around in your mouth. In the second event, Gott said contestants pulled toys out of a bucket of hissing cockroaches. The idea was to pull out as many toys as possible to get the highest value. Candice Pitts, associate director of educational administration, said the event intimidated her. I didn ' t put the goggles on; 1 just focused on any (toy) that was sticking out of the cockroaches and not looking at them, Pitts said. Because of that, I could only find one (toy). During the third event, contestants rolled a pair of dice. The number rolled equaled the number of bugs the contestant had to eat. The bugs were a combination of cooked mealworms, cockroaches and crickets. I rolled a seven, Ankrom said. I was thinking about just swallowing them whole, but 1 ended up having to chew them all. I even gagged once, but I ended up getting them all down. For the tiebreaker, the winner held a cockroach in her mouth for the longest time. Pitts won the tiebreaker event with a little help from Zach Mohr, senior in economics. I had (Mohr) tell me he would eat it for me, Pitts said. The reason I won was because the other two couldn ' t even get the cockroach in their mouths. Pitts said the reason she let students talk her into being part of the challenge was because leaders have to sometimes take risks and face their fears. The thought of having a live cockroach in your mouth jumping around trying to escape; there was no way, she said. Hayley Urkevich, student body president, said she decided to participate because she thought it would be entertaining for K- State guests. Urkevich said she did not think she would react well to eating bugs, and, as a result, did not complete the challenge. The thought of having to eat insects (or) worms makes my stomach turn, Urkevich, senior in finance, said. I get pretty jumpy when I ' m around them. student life a lA. After rolling the dice to see tiow many bugs stie had to eat, Hayley Urkevich, senior in finance, screams at the thought of eating bugs. I hate bugs, Urkevich, student body president, said. I ' m going to have to rely on my head, not my stomach. Urkevich participated in the event along with other K-State student lead- ers.

Their sisters were by their sides — not only as family, but also as their Ford Hall resident assistant and room- mate. Ana Pyzhov, sophomore in biology, and Elena lived together in 813, while Sarah Williams, jimior in social work, lived with her younger sister, Rachel, in 313. It ' s something very few people get to do as far as outside of the house, away from oiu two (other) sisters, and away from parents, Sar ah said. You really get to know each other as friends and not just family. I wouldn ' t want to live with anybody else this year. Sarah and Rachel said they tended to stick together when they lived at home because they were the middle children. Ana and Elena also were close before coming to K-State. They said living together has made them appreciate each other. If she doesn ' t come to our room for a long time, Elena said, I ' ll start to miss her. However, Sarah and Rachel admitted before coming to school they had fears of being together too much, especially during school breaks. I figined I ' d lived with her for 18 years, Sarah said, what ' s one more? Sarah and Ana said the challenge of being on their own was beneficial and took steps to guarantee their sisters would have the same benefit. Sometimes (Elena) asks me questions and I think she shovdd be able to figure it out, Ana said, so I won ' t tell her. Rachel and Elena also strove to make sine they did not always rely on their sisters for guidance. Sarah said living together reduced expenses because they shared clothing, shampoo and rides home. She also said trust and honesty came easier than with a roommate you didn ' t know. You can just really relax, Ana said. You can just be yourself because it ' s a sister. Elena said since she and Ana were sisters before they were roommates, they knew what made each other tick and had prob- lem-solving worked oiu better than most roommates. If tensions did rise, a comforting thought always came to mind, Rachel said. You know that no matter what, she said. You can ' t make that person so mad that they won ' t love you anymore.

They maintained their grades by studying together to keep each other accountable. We do everything together, Ana said. Like we always eat at the Derb together. We also go to Wal-IVIart all the time and church together on Sundays.

Homecoming spirit dominated campus and Manhattan, Oct. 24-30, through Fright Night, Paint the ' Ville and other homecoming traditions. This is the only week that I have seen where the football game and activities bring the entire town together, Ryan Foster, junior in secondary education, said. It is cool to see us all there, from greeks to residence halls to the members of the residential neigh- borhoods. We do it for K-State. The week started with the 5-K race benefitting Sunset Zoologi- cal Park. Opened to the community and K-State, the race started at the K-State Alumni Center and continued through campus. The rest of the week was split into three categories: greek, non- greek and combined. The biggest event for the greek community was Wildcat Request Live, Bethany Fox, freshman in open-option, said. Held in Bramlage Coliseum, greek partners sat on the steps because the seats were filled. During this event, greeks lip-synched and danced to different music and homemade set designs. The other all-greek event, Yard Art, allowed each house and their housing pair to display their themes. Yard Art, displayed on Tuesday, stayed up the rest of the week. We hoped events like Yard Art and Paint the ' Ville would draw in the community, said Andrea Bryant, associate director of alumni associations and all-university homecoming chair. It gives them a chance to drive around and not only see the work of the students but the university as well. continued on page 58 homecoming JF work nights and parties continued from page 57 Spirit signs displayed around campus showed interpretations of the homecoming themes. Bryant said the overall theme Wild with Pride was up for the houses to interpret the way they wanted. Residence halls took part in the signs as well as Paint the ' Ville where participants painted windows in Aggieville. Community events included a coloring contest for elementary school students to color Willie the Wildcat. Fright Night, spon- sored by the K-State basketball program, consisted of residence halls and Greek houses setting up booths with Halloween-related activities such as candy, face painting and haimted houses. Crazy Cat Kick Off, Oct. 25, the only event the Greeks did not have the right to participate in, was created for the residence halls. Weber Arena became lined with ponchos, eggs and sundae top- pings. Events included egg role, hiunan sundae, scarecrow scam- per and the great giunmy rescue. The tiunout for the event was small. There could have been more involvement throughout the halls, said Emily Reding, junior in family studies and human ser- vices. A lot more people are concerned with education more than the social events so homecoming does not strike a lot of interest. Pant the Chant, showed the scarcity of the residence hall participants and the large popularity from the greek community. Groups showed their spirit and represented their houses by using different props and original chants. Reding said it was a way to boost egos of the groups by proving one was better than the other. The thing about homecoming is that the events become a stipulation for Greek rivalry, Foster said. They just push the issue of who is supposedly better than whom. continued on page 60 Spirit sign Float $1,000 Pant the Chant aint the ' Ville $75 iU300 $100 Float Spirit sign $200 Pant the Chant $50 f Wildcat Request Live $300 , rs student life In the Lambda Chi Alpha parking lot, Jon Pestinger, sophomore in business administra- tion, works on a frame for their float. Produc- tion on floats started Oct. 22, and many floats were not com- pleted until moments before the parade, Oct. 29. People warn you about it, Ryan Foster, junior in secondary education, said. It was a bigger deal than I thought it would be.

Photo by Chris Hanewinckel h()mea)min£ :0 work nights and parties continuea from page 58 The night before the game, the parade marked the second-to- last event for homecoming. Each group used the majority of their budgets and time on the floats themselves. Jonathan Pestinger, sophomore in business administration, said building floats took up time people were not willing to take out of their schedules. The parade route started on Poyntz Ave. and displayed politi- cal figures, K-State Marching Band, organizations, athletics and Willie the Wildcat as well as the floats built by the students. Closed to traffic, Aggieville marked the end of the parade and hosted the pep rally afterwards. Aggieville is the optimal setting for a college town pep rally, Bryant said. It is open to everyone, from kids to alumni. It caters to all. The week ended with tailgating and the K-State football game against Texas Tech. The game ended in a 25-35 loss, but Bryant said the homecoming spirit did not die. Homecoming is about school spirit and opportunities, Bryant said. It is so students can interact with one another and for them to go out into the community. It pidls K-State into Manhattan. Hundreds of K-State fans gather at ttie heart of Aggieville Oct. 30 to participate in a pep rally and block party. This was the first year Aggieville shut down for an event that was open to the entire commu- nity. The block party announced winners of the parade competi- tion and had appear- ances by the football team and Willie. Photo by Drew Rose Bethany Fox, freshman in open-option, and Meg Stanislaus, soph- omore in business administration, walk behind their float. The greek life at K-State is extremely involved in homecoming, Fox said. This means that the greeks have more of an insight in the events and what each event involves.

Whether they preferred to be sur- rounded by an abundance of books or alcohol determined which one they checked out. The Library Discount Liquor, located on the corner of 12 and Moro in Aggieville, profited from football games, weekends and parties. Jared Tremblay, senior in geography, needed ajob for the summer and was hired. I heard it was a great job, Tremblay said. I knew that you are busy a lot and that you interact with people, which is something I enjoy. Besides the liquor store, Tremblay w orked another job and attended K-State full-time. I work about 15 to 20 hours at the Library liquor store, he said. I work on campus, also, for about 13 hours a week. I am taking 16 credit hours at K-State. Mike Towne, owner of Library Discount Liquor, bought the store and changed the name two and a half years ago. Towne said he was under a time constraint to come up with a name and wanted something to fit in with Aggieville. One of the guys (who) worked here was majoring in market- ing, (and he) came in one day and said, ' we need to name it the ' Library, Towne said. We thought it was the stupidest thing we heard. Everyone slept on it and realized it wasn ' t that stupid. One approach the store took to build customer relations was a library card, or preferred customer card, designed for college students, Towne said. You come in and ask for a library card, he said. We give you a temporary card with a five-percent discount over regular prices. Evei7 time you come in, you increase the price off by one percent. Once the card has been punched out, we have you turn it in and we issue you a plastic card, which is 10 percent off anything in the store. Tremblay said he thought at least half to two-thirds of college- aged Library customers had one. The store had its share of interesting customers, Tremblay said, and they mostly entertained him. We had a group come in and purchase 200 cases of Natural Light for one party, he said. Jesus, that ' s 4,800 beers. That ' s a lot of beer. I hope they recycled. Tiffany Lyman, senior in marketing, spoke positively of the Library. I would say it ' s one of the best ones, Lyman said. It has a wide variety and is always clean. Towne said Aggieville had a great atmosphere for a liquor store. I love college atmosphere, he said. For me, being in Aggieville and being close to campus, (has) been well worth buying the store. .E t i J2 smdi- ' rirlife Cole NeJdenthal, sophomore in nutri- tion and exercise, and Reo Stiultz, senior in hotel restaurant management, pick up alcohol at the The Library Discount Liquor store during Halloween weekend.

Jared Tremblay, employee and senior in geography, said football game week- ends were very busy. If the game is in the morning, then before the game there is a large rush, Tremblay said. If the game is in the evening, then business is steady throughout the day.

Curt Theobald, store manager for Kite ' s, said deals throughout the week proved popular. We have quite a few business people that come in for lunches, he said. Mostly, students take advantage of deals. Theobald said Kite ' s had specials every Monday through Thursday. On Mondays, we have $1.50 Coors Light, Coors and Aspen, he said. Our lunch is $1 off all sandwiches and wraps. On Tuesdays, it ' s half-off appetizers, and Thursdays are $1.50 Budweiser family bottles and $1 off any burger. Jessica Kinzel, shift leader and bar- tender, said Buffalo Wild Wings had two deals every day, Sunday through Thursday. After 10 p.m. (it ' s) six wings for $2, Kinzel, senior in management, said. (Also) 11 (a.m.) to 2 (p.m.) is the lunch lineup value meal. Bo Harris, co-owner of Kite ' s, said he wasn ' t affected by the law requiring bars ' revenue to be made up of at least 30 per- cent food sales. We ' ve never had a problem with that rule, he said. We focus so much on our food. We ' re always going after new food items, and it really doesn ' t impact us. Students took advantage of the specials each week, whether it meant going to Rusty ' s Last Chance, Buffalo Wild Wings or Kite ' s. Michael Marlen, senior in computer science, started a weekly trip to Buffalo Wild Wings with his friends after 10 p.m. every Tuesday. We started pretty much the second week of this semester, Marlen said. We have been going religiously on Tuesdays ever since. Marlen said he and 10 to 15 friends went out every week to socialize and enjoy themselves and they decided on Buffalo Wild Wings because they thought the wings were cheap and tasty. There are a few guys who do the Blazing Wings, Marlen said. (They) have eaten 18 of them, and it nearly killed them. The wings are that hot. Between bites of buf- falo wings, Ashley M. Jones, sophomore in pre-health, pauses for a drink of Dr. Pepper. For poor college student, 35-cent wings are delicious, she said, but be prepared to get messy. The resturaunt was usu- ally filled with hungry college students like Jones, looking for an inexpensive meal.

At the corner of Vattier Street and Manhattan Avenue, two men operated a lemonade stand. Jesse Newton, senior in finance, said he needed a reason to be outdoors and enjoy the weather with his friends. With his business partner and friend, Allan Sheahan, senior in manage- ment, at his side, Newton made students and other passers-by happy every Friday. It ' s pretty much expected to be up e ' ery Friday, Newton said. Since the first Friday of the school year, I think it ' s been 14 in a row. For preparations each week, Sheahan said either Newton or himself purchased the ice and lemonade while the other one set up the table and signs. It ' s a real simple setup, he said. It doesn ' t take a lot of preparation. We try to get out there by noon. With 50 cents per cup of Countrytime Lemonade, Newton said he and Sheahan made a nice profit the first week and were faced with what to do with it. We put the money we made back into the business, Newton said. Right now, we barely have our heads above water. We do good to break even. Matt Baki, senior in management and a friend of Newton ' s, became a regular at the lemonade stand, where he noticed positive and negative reactions from people. I ' ve observed people who laugh with us about it and have a good time, Baki said. There are those other people who think we ' re stupid and immatme, but you just laugh at the people who laugh at you. Baki said he found it funny to see college students holding signs to get people to buy lemonade. Sheahan said signs that read got lemonade? and happy Friday were either taped up to the house or held by someone. One said, ' lemonade, ice cold and damn good, ' Sheahan said. That ' s our favorite one. We actually made t-shirts with that one on it. continued on page 69 Drive-up service was one of the ways Brett Robben, sophomore in business admin- istration, helped customers get tlieir lemonade. Robben said it was a nice con- venience for drivers and students walking back from class to stop and get a cool refreshment. Most of the time, we had pink lemonade and regular lemonade, Robben said. Sometimes we sold fruit punch. Photo by Chris Hanewinckel i ' -K .

It ' s always funny seeing 20, 21, 22-year- olds holding signs saying ' It ' s Friday, get your lemonade, ' Matt Baki, senior in man- agement, said. I think it ' s absolutely hilari- ous. Photo by Chris Hanewinckel ZJ snidcntlife r business coiitinuecl from page 67 Along with the lemonade, Newton said he offered complimen- tary cookies and suckers. We have had chocolate chip, oatmeal and sugar cookies, he said. We try to change it up, and smiles are always free. The men tried to make Fridays fun and relaxing by supplying games in the back) ' ard. We play horseshoes and washers a lot, Sheahan said. Some of our buddies like to come over and play their guitar and bongos, have some live music. When colder weather struck, Newton said they decided to trade out the cold lemonade for hot chocolate. Now we freeze our butts off oiu there selling hot chocolate, Newton said. We ' re excited for the weather to get warm because it ' s a pain to be out there freezing. Besides making friends and an occasional small profit, the most valuable aspect Newton and Sheahan said they brought from their business was the entrepreneurial experience they gained. We have the vision to start our own company, and this was a test to see if we could run a business successfully, Newton said. We use this for our business strategy. It ' s kind of like the respon- sibilities of having a real business. Sheahan said no one ever knew exactly when each Friday ' s fun wotdd come to an end. It really depends on the weather and how busy it is, he said. If there isn ' t anvthing going on, we pack it up. Some of the best ones have lasted ' till 5:30 p.m. Newton said the future for the stand was not clear. Every Friday it ' s up in the air if we will do it again or not, he said. It ' s really no set plan for us — play it by ear, I guess. 69 • ' -. I . , ' Founder of the Wildcat Information Network, Chris Althoff, gradu- ate student in business administration, works on the new Web site, which kicked off when the spring semester began. Althoff had the idea for the site two years ago and employed 60 students to get it up and run- ning. Photo by Chris Hanewinckel Wmm. -J SI by C.orbin 1 1. ( .lahlc ITECONNECTS universityco MM UNITY Thanks to Internet technology, students became more connected to the campus and commimitv with the help of The Wildcat Information Network. The Web site, launched Jan. 12, offered everything from local news, to information on campus and city events, to movie listings. In addition to these features, the site ' s main purpose was to allow users to interact with one another, said Chris Althoff, founder of the site and graduate student in business administration. Students can trade items on the virtual market- place, review restaurants, check out local specials, vent on the message boards and tell others about what they have going on in their organizations and relay their lives, Althoff said. The philosophy is to serve students by providing a location that allows there to be a place to collaborate and strengthen their sense of community. Althoff said the idea for the portal came two vears ago but wasn ' t aggressively pursued until Student Body President Hayley Urkevich and Student Body Vice President Erik Ankrom campaigned for their positions in the Student Governing Association ' s spring 2004 elections. The development of the portal became one of the main platform issues for the pair. Shortly after Urkevich and Ankrom took office, . lthoff and a team of students worked on the design of the portal, a process that took more than foin- months. It came to fruition with a $32,500 allocation by K-State administrators, who even found a home for the portal in the basement of Kedzie Hall, which housed the A.Q. Miller School of Journalism and Mass Communications. Urkevich said she felt proud to have addressed one of her campaign ' s largest platform issues and keep students connected at the same time. There is a great feeling of accomplishment knowing that we ' ve given something to the student body that will be here for years and ' ears to come, Urkevich said. We had a vision, and we worked hard to achieve it. Brett Wolfington. who assisted Althoff in the proj- ect, said he was pleased with the student response to (the project thus far. The response so far has been extremely positive, ' Wolfington, junior in computer science, said. Oiu- goal for the project was to create a service students would want to use. Judging from the (number) of users who ha e been visiting the site each day, and the response from a siuvey available dining the first week of launch, we feel we have succeeded in this goal. Wolfington said more than 10 percent of students used the site within the first two days. A team of student technicians, graphic designers, advertising representatives and writers managed the general operations for the Web site, Althoff said, and those jobs offered valuable experience to those students interested in online media. This integrated environment provides daily exposure to a variety of media issues, something a normal print media intern- ship might not have to offer, Althoff said. Operations team members in advertising and marketing are challenged with reach- ing students where they work and play and getting them to understand the hiuidreds of things the portal has to offer. Althoff and Wolfington said the project would grow as more students discovered and used the portal. Althoff said the portal ' s team was ready for such change. We are growing fast, he said. We have already almost oiUgrown oiu current location, and we will be seeking increased funding from SGA so we can oper- ate more effectively in the future and provide students with a more well-rounded learning opportunity. In addition to seeking funds and a new location, Urkevich said she and Althoff were seeking to make the site a non-profit corporation, much like the Collegian. Althoff said he hoped students realized the site was their own, and its team strove to present information and features reflecting students ' changing interests. The great thing about this effort is that students will make it what they want, Althoff said. Once students real- ize they have total control over the content and services, we will have accomplished what we set out to do. For more information, visit the Wildcat Informa- tion Network at u ' iii.ksu.rflu. Students work on the Portal Web site Feb. 3 in the base- ment of Kedzie Hall.

With Manhattan ' s lack of public transportation, international students were at the mercy of university programs for travel because buying a car was not prac- tical for many. Crissan Zeigler, former international education ad isei ' , started the program fall 2002, but passed it off to Lewis fall 2003. Lewis moved from being a full- time teacher and part-time recruiting coordinator to full-time recruiting coordinator, so he had more time to spend on the program and its development. Since then, he collected and overhauled 44 bikes. Lm trving to keep the prograin at the level it is, but there are always people who come and I put them on the waiting list, he said. If it gets over 50 bicycles, it is unwieldy to handle myself. Because he wanted to keep the program small, he could only accommodate international students who were here for less than a vear. He figured those who were sta) ' ing longer would be more readil) ' able to share a car or buy a bike of their own. When the students received a bike, they were charged $10, which included a lock, the bike and free maintenance, which Lewis provided. It started out as a free program, but Lewis realized he needed to charge some money for the tires, tubes, brake cables and other parts. I tell them to lock it and if it starts to develop a rattle or flat tire to bring it back. He said They can come see me and I ' ll fix it. I tell them to ride safely and where to ride. I also gi ' e them the KSU bike handbook. Over the ears, a few bikes were stolen, but Lewis said most of the students took charge of the responsiblity. Although the program was a large time ccjmmit- ment for Lewis, he said he was fortimate to get some help from two students. Karel Princ, senior in mechani- cal engineering, and |an Panek, senior in electrical engineer- ing, offered Lewis help when they saw how busy he was with repairs and checkouts. I was really impressed by the program and by his friendliness and Because multiple people use the bikes, occasional adjust- ments need to be made, including the lowering of seats. Lewis shows Dong Suk Kim how easy it is. Photo by willingness to help, Panek said. I saw how much work he had, so we offered him some help. The bikes were normally checked out at the beginnings of semesters, but there were the occasional ones that were rented midway through. Sun Hyong Kim. junior in English, tented Lindsey Baumon her bike in late January and said she quickly noticed the benefits. She said her commute times were greatly reduced and she enjoyed the flexibility the bike offered. Each student who rented a bike was grateful for it and appreciated Lewis ' hard work. It is a very important program that helps a lot of international students, Panek said. I hope it will con- tinue, because without the bike, I would have been lost. i international bike program J Friends Travis Sumner, senior in grapliic design, and Nolan Fabricius, sopliomore in fine arts, watch Aaron Norberg, senior in fine arts, as he plays video games Friday night, Feb. 4.

Maniiattan housed an extra 22,237 people when classes started fall semester, according to the Office of the Regis- trar. Whether students chose to live on campus in the residence hall complexes, independently or in a greek house, they found what living arrangement made Man- hattan home awa ' from home. According to the Department of Housing and Dining Services, 3,334 students lived on campus, either in the Strong, Derhv or Kramer complexes or in Smurthwaite Scholarship House. John Aagaard, senior in mechanical engineering, lived in Moore Hall for three years and in Haymaker Hall for one year. Aagaard said with only the minor setback of not being able to play his music as loud as he wanted, he enjoved residence hall life. You don ' t have to cook or clean, he said. Meals are always provided. 1 live in a double-room by myself because my roommate never showed up. I enjov not ha ing one because I get more space and privacy. For Bria Gorman, freshman in communication sci- ences and disorders, it took one bad experience with a roommate in Haymaker to find out living alone was right for her. She used all my stuff and locked me out of the room, Gorman said. It was a bad experience. Gorman realized the advantages to be roommate- less. My stuff is where I left it and it ' s quiet, she said. It ' s easier to study. It feels more like home. There were those students who enjoyed the com- pany of a roommate and didn ' t have a bad experience like Gorman. Dustin Schirer, senior in mass communications, found living in close quarters with eight friends made for spontaneous and crazy events like a styrofoam snow party. Schirer and his roommates squeezed an extra five people into a house where onl)- four people were to be on the lease. Recenth, the landlord has been snooping around the house, Schirer said. We don ' t know if she knows and doesn ' t care, or if she is so old and doesn ' t real- ize what ' s going on. We all have the same mindset of having a good time. It makes for less stress in the house. Schirer said the men had a tire swing in their front yard until their landlord forced them to take it down, twice. One of our roommates is a rock climber and he climbed the tree to put it up, Schirer said. (Our land- lord) hired people to take it down because it was really high in the tree. While nine people in a house made for exciting times, other students found living in greek houses suited their living needs. Tiffanv Dean, senior administrative assistant for Greek Affairs, said the average house capac- ity for sororities was 78 and 62 for fraternities. Nadia El Tuhami, senior in interior architecture, foinid living in Sigma Kappa made socializing a lot easier. It ' s a good wav to get to know people outside my major, El Tuhami said. I don ' t get to know many people outside architecture. El Tuhami said she foimd iips and downs to living in a sorority, whether it was not having access to a stove to make a frozen pizza or the convenience of scheduling a last-minute movie night. If I wanted to have a mi.x group of guys and girls from high school come visit, I can ' t have them stay with me, she said. We can ' t ha e guvs hanging out in our rooms to watch a movie and no alcohol, e en if you ' re 21. I like the house because there tends to be more excite- ment and activities going on that are easy tojoin in on. While living in a sorority brought fun and friend- ships. El Tuhami hoped to live on her own next year. I ' m Eoins on three vears without mv own bed- room, she said.

Pressure builds to find parking spots on campus, students hold grudge against parking offioers for tioket fees Ticket Abundance : ? ? by Kristen Day A 1998 Jeep Wrangler sat in front of Ford Hall with two park- ing tickets and a lock on the rear wheel. Megan Dexheimer, fresh- man in business administration, had to tise her charge card to get herself out of this mess. I just came back from home and I was carrying my stuff in and I forgot to put money in the meter, Dexheimer said. I got an $8 ticket, another ticket for excessive tickets because I had tickets I hadn ' t paid yet, and then they put that thing on there so you can ' t drive. All at once I paid $250. Theyjust put it on my credit card. At the end of fall semester, Dexheimer ' s parking tickets tallied more than $300, all in front of Ford Hall. The Manhattan Police Department didn ' t let her get by without a few of their own tickets. 1 started parking across the street (from Ford Hall), but it ' s illegal to park there from eight in the morning to noon, Dexhei- mer said. I never saw anyone getting tickets and then I got five or six for parking there. In a given year. Parking Services wrote 40,000 tickets, most of them for expired meters or for parking in reserved stalls. To avoid tickets, students were able take advantage of the shuttle service provided, according to the Parking Services Web site. With only 10,000 parking stalls available on campus, it might have seemed hypocritical for University Parking Services to sell 14,000 permits to faculty, staff and students. But Darwin Abbott, director of University Parking Services, had a rationale for the 1.4-permits-to-stall ratio. It ' s not really overselling, Abbott said. It ' s more that people come and go. It doesn ' t make sense to only sell 10,000 stalls. Some percent of people are sick, some people come in the mornings and some people come in the afternoons. Included in the 14,000 permits sold were parking permits for the Chester E. Peters Recreational Complex, Jardine Terrace Apartments and residence halls. Abbott said those permits did not prevent students from finding parking spots near West Stadium, K-State Student Union and other parking lots. Abbott said two popular excuses students tried to use to avoid paying the tickets were 1 had to park there and I was only there for a minute. They owe the state of Kansas the money, not me, he said. It first goes to their bill and prevents them from signing up for classes, and eventually, it will go to a collection agency. Abbott said he felt insulted when Parking Services employees were referred to as Parking Nazis. If we went out of our way to enforce all the rules, it still wouldn ' t make us Nazis, comparing what the Nazis actually did, Abbott said. If you have a permit and I ' m writing tickets on people who don ' t have permits, you should be applauding me because I am defending your right to park there. TT student life Is it worth the price?

Students and faculty with valid K-State email addresses were able to register for an account at www.thefacebook.coin . They created profiles listing their interests, favorite movies, relation- ship status, course schedule and an open forum called a ' wall ' by thefacebook creators where friends could post messages and inside jokes. It spread so fast, said Ashley Luney, senior in family stud ies and himian services. Everybody had one and everybody was talk- ing about it. Developed by Mark Zuckerberg, a Harvard student, the site crept hierarchically through the coiuitry ' s major college campuses. Zuckerberg conceived the idea as a way for students to connect without the confines of a school-sponsored site, such as K- .State Online, which also allows students to post profiles and interact virtually with classmates. Mark developed the idea in January and the site opened at Harvard in February, Chris Hughes, co-founder and press rep- resentative, said. After a few weeks of work and many late-night dorm-room conversations with the rest of us — the four other guys who started out working with Mark — thefacebook was released. Shortly after, the site laimched counterparts for Yale, MIT and Stanford. When thefacebook reached K-State in the fall, students flocked to the site. Students checked their profiles, messages and friend requests compulsively. By February 2005, more than 7,000 were registered. f We never imagined it would blow up like this, Hughes said. We ' ve definitely been surprised. At the outset, Mark was playing around with an idea for Harvard students, but now, it ' s a site with over 1.5 million users at 335 schools. It ' s blossomed. Due to the size and server requirements, the site costs $60,000- $70,000 to operate and maintain each month. We support the site through advertising revenue, both from corporations and an ' announcement ' scheme, Hughes said. For the announcements, a student can pay about $12 a day and have thefacebook display an annoiuicement similar in style to Google ads to all users of thefacebook at her particular school. It ' s so big, the site apparently warranted its own verb. I ' facebook ' people all the time, said Griff Letch, freshman in open-option, whose listed interests include God, music, guitar, poker and snowboarding. You can spend hours on there just look- ing at people ' s profiles. tacehook Z9 Cardiology techni- cian Marsha Roblyer, assists Dave John- son, senior in vet- erinary medicine and Michael Deveau, senior in veterinary medicine with an electrocardiogram on a bulldog.

Photo by Chris Hanewinckel theCARDIOLOGYunii HELPS STUDENTS T P F A I With the development of a cardiology unit, Clollege of Veterinary Medicine professors and stndents kept their patients ' best interests at heart. In Jid) 2002, veterinary medicine administra- tors and the hospital board, introduced the idea of establishing a cardiology luiit to expand the learning experience of students involved with the veterinary medicine program. Dr. Rose McMinphy was instnmiental in helping set a vision for enhanced critical care and remodeling of our hospital to provide greater state-of-the-art care for critical care patients, including better facilities for cardiac support, Richardson said. Although only one or two people got the idea moving, a dozen or more have had an important role to play in making the dream become a reality. The idea of a new cardiology unit, initially pre- sented by Buhner, the staff ' s new cardiologist, was endorsed by the leadership of the college and einbraced by the faculty, students, referring veterinarians and clients, Richardson said. Bulmer, his cardiology technician and his cardiol- ogy resident made up the core members of the cardiol- ogy team along with students participating in a three- week elective rotation. Eventually, we would like to hire a second cardiolo- gist, Bulmer said. Fimding for a second faculty posi- tion has already been identified and an international search is under way to bring another cardiologist on staff. The cardiology unit benefited students, patients of the veterinary medical teaching hospital, animal owners, referring veterinarians, interns, residents and other doctors in the veterinary medicine teaching hospital, as well as collaborative researchers on campus and at other institutions. Students who worked in the cardiology imit on the three-week elective rotation, one of the six elective rotations available to fourth-year veterinary medicine students, learned how to use the equipment available and use it to treat their patients. This is actually my favorite rotation, Ali Diesel, fourth-year in veterinary medicine, said. This has reall) ' made me more comfortable with the animals that have heart conditions such as murmurs. Students involved with the cardiology rotation learned how to diagnose and treat different heart problems. It ' s really satisfying to diagnose the condition then find the next step to solving the problem, Diesel said. We use thoracic radiographs, echo cardiograms and EKG machines for our diagnosis. Veterinary medicine students saw patients ranging from companion animals such as domestic cats, dogs, birds and reptiles, along with large animals such as cows and horses. The doctors see patients by appointments or by consultation with other doctors in the veterinary medi- cal teaching hospital, Bidmer said. Since this unit is part of a teaching hospital, students are involved with all our patients and their owners and case-based teach- ing goes on continuously. cardioiQ 1 aFLIG WILL NEVER Twelve students from K-State-Salina were granted the opportunity of a lifetime in December. Their professors and administrators chose them to work on a record-breaking project, the GlobalFlyer. The project began in January with the arrival of Virgin Atlantic ' s custom plane, which needed last- minute adjustments and improvements. The flight would take Steve Fossett, pilot and Virgin Atlantic route planning manager, aroimd the world without stopping for fuel. To accomplish the task, the plane had a 114-foot wingspan, optimum fuel efficiency and carried 18,000 lbs. of fuel. Those last-minute adjustments were made by avia- tion maintenance students like And) Andoga, senior in airway science. When I wasn ' t in class, I was work- ing on the flyer, including week- ends, Andoga said. But I would do it again. It is one of those opportunities that when it comes up, vou have to be Virgin Atlantic Global Flyer pilot Steve Fossett shiakes hiands witti Sir Rictiard Branson and Jon Karkow of Scaled Composites before closing ttie door prior to takeoff. Branson ' s company funded ttie record attempt. Thie flighit was initially planned to take off Feb. 2, but was post- poned, Andy Andoga, senior in airway sci- ence, said. Ptioto by Cliris Hanewinckel wiluiig. As much time as they had with the plane, some wanted more. It ' s really a different type of work, Landon Truetken, fresh- man in aviation maintenance, said. The plane that we saw was made completely of carbon fiber, and the ones here in the hanger are metal aircrafts. Everything on the flyer was top of the line. Aviation maintenance students were responsible for the plane itself, while their counterparts by Mary Bershenyi SALI studying for their professional pilots ' degrees were responsible for mission control. The foin of us working for mission control were in two teams, Patrick Rinearson, senior in airway science, said. Two of us working eight-hour shifts, everybody woidd work 16 hoius in 24-hoin- periods. We started at 8 a.m. and worked until 4 p.m., then the other team would come in and work from 4 p.m. ' till midnight, and the first team woidd come back from midnight ' till 8 a.m. The mission control team felt the pressure of little sleep and the media glare. We ' d get off at four and invariabh ' there was stuff going on, said Rinearson. I think I maybe got about 10 total hoiu ' s of sleep, including the five I got last night (after Fossettt landed March 3.) Salina began buzzing in early January after press started arriving and reports that the fiver was to take off at any time. By the time the plane finally took off, the students had met some well-known people in the world of flight. Getting to meet Steve Fossett and, of course. Sir Richard Branson, was amazing, Rinearson said. ' John Carco, project engineer, and Flint Nichols, another engineer, taught us so much. Also, seeing people along the way like Darren Hilton of Hilton Hotels and Bob Hoover, the stimt pilot, was the best part. While the world watched on television, students felt the anticipation of Fossett ' s return after he took off at 6:57 p.m. Feb. 28. It wasn ' t that bad until we found out about the fue l that was lost, and then it was waiting on the edge of yoiu seat to see if he was going to land in Hawaii or make it all the way to land in Salina, Andoga said. There (was) a weight lifted off your chest when he came back. Students said the experience will remain with them, even after they move into the professional world. If I could do this every day, I would, Rinearson said. It was complete and total fun. I could have had another nap, but it was well worth it. DAY BY DAY: The long wait for takeoff Dec, 8. 2004 K-State-Salina faculty announced ttie students ctiosen to be involved witti ttie GlobalFlyer project. Students included Monica Ctiester, Will Klein and Seth Stiort, seniors in professional pilot; Nancy Milleret and Patrick Rinearson, juniors In professional pilot; James Reed, Andy Andoga and Aaron Grunden, seniors in aviation maintenance; Mictiael Blankenstiip, Josti Hill, Mike Paul and Landon Truetken, freshmen in avia- tion maintenance. .Jan. 6, 2005 Ttie GlobalFlyer arrived in Salina for adjustments by students and employees of Scaled Composites, ttie company responsible for ttie design and creation of ttie plane. Scaled Composites directed ttie adjustments. Feb. 2, 2005 Ttie original takeoff was posponed due to poor weattier. Febrnar ' 28. 2005 GlobalFlyer took off from Salina Municipal Airport at 6:57 p.m. March 3, 2005 Steve Fossett landed in Salina at 1 :50 p.m. Ttiere was speculation wtiettier Fossett would be able to make it to Kansas or would be forced to land in Hawaii after losing fuel mid-fllgtit.

Students had been awaiting his return since the Feb. 28 takeoff. Students were able to go back to their normal sched- ules, March 5. While the flight was in pro- gess, students worked two eight-hour shifts in a 24-hour period.

Cats for Christ sponsored Bible studies, Navigators welcomed everyone to group worships and 22 religious organizations registered with the Office of Student Activities. Some students continued with faith they developed while living with their families, and others foiuid themselves searching for a religious foiuidation when they arrived. My family is Catholic, Brenna Sandefin, jimior in social work, said. I went to church every Simday, but didn ' t feel strongly. Sandefiu ' said she questioned her beliefs when she arrived and began looking for a chinch. Sometimes I go to the (Catholic) Student Center, she said, but now I go to New Hope prett) ' consistentlv. Though religious organizations were available on campus, some students thought it was difficult to find a religious commimity. It is definitely a struggle, Sandefiu ' said. You feel discon- nected from a community of believers. The amount of students really drops from high school. Amy Limdine, jimior in education, said that she foimd a com- munity in people with whom she had grown up. It wasn ' t hard at all to find a church, she said. When I got here, I started going to a couple of Christian organizations. I knew people from high school. We got together on Sunday mornings and looked around at churches and found one that we liked. Meeting new people of different faiths and backgrounds was slightly more trying. I don ' t feel like it is difficult to be around people of a dif- ferent faith than you, but I feel like you can have different types of conversations with people, Lundine said. If I wanted to talk about something in the Bible, it would freak some people out if I just threw it out there. Campus ministries were meant to gi e students comenient access to religion, Sandie Anderson, staff at BSU Christian Challenge, said. I think it is very easy to get connected, Lundine said. K-State makes it eas ' to experience God and to figure out what faith is all about.

Mo Rotca finally took the stage in the K and S ballrooms of the K-State Studen t Union on Feb. 18. The comedian had Icanceled his Oct. 27 engagement due to family prob- ilems. With all of the presidential elections coming up, ivve thought it would be cool to have him here, said iTyler Treason, jimior in mass communications and UPC entertainment committee co-chair. It was origi- nally going to correspond with Pack the Library, Pack the Polls, the SGA eyent to get people to vote and write letters to their congressmen about the state of the iiniyersitv. A large part of Rocca ' s performance was political isatire - he compared Sen. John Kerry to a bloodhoimd -but the comedian talked about a range of topics, including the state bird, flower, tree and insect of iKansas and the qualit of the Union ' s hand-washing systems. Rocca gained notoriety in 2000 when he began a correspondent position on Jon Stewart ' s satire news comedy. The Daily Show. On the show, Rocca inter- newed politicians and other public figures. Rocca graduated from Harvard University with a bachelor of arts in English literature in 1991. During his time at Harvard, he was a writer and actor in the acclaimed Hasty Pudding Theatrical Group, an organi- iation of Harvard students that tours the United States iind Fiuope performing original plavs. The organization was a steppingstone to writing positions on Wishbone and the Wubbalous World of Dr. Seuss, children ' s TV series, and a contributing editorship at Perfect 10, an adult magazine. During his teniue at both productions, Rocca toured the country looking at presi- dential homes and gravesites, developing his comedy and meeting people to incorporate into his routine. I came at (success) with very specific ideas, Rocca said. Trust that on the end something valuable will come out of it. Be loyal to whatever strange fixation, some say ' passion, ' you have. After Rocca finished his routine, he asked for questions from the audience. A heated topic was the Rockchalk Jayhawk shirt Rocca wore when appearing on VHl ' s I Love the ' 80s series. Several asked why he wore the shirt. I wanted to start a civil war in Kansas, Rocca said. I had just been in Lawrence and I liked it. But realh, 1 just liked the shirt. The evening was successful for the organizers as well as the Union, said Jeremy Parker, senior in music com- position and UPC entertainment committee co-chair. He liked how everyone was so excited to see him, Traxson said. He said sometimes he just does the show and people laugh, but they ' re not involved. He thought it was ver ' well-received here. After being mercilessly booed by the audi- ence for his University of Kansas T-shirt, Eric Davis, freshnnan in psychology, thinks about an answer to one of the quiz ques- tions tvio Rocca asked him. Rocca engaged the audience by bringing someone up on stage and giving them the chance to ask questions after the show.

National health officials found the 46 million doses from the British supplier to be faulty. The national shortage caused panic and price-gauging in some areas of the country. Kansas Attorney General Phil Kline filed a lawsuit, Oct. 13, against a Floritla distribution company, which he accused of selling a 10-dose vial of flu shots for $900 — which regularly cost $85. The Manhattan community was reprieved from price inflation because there were not vaccines available. The Riley Coimty-Man- hattan Health Department did receive 170 doses Oct. 13, but those were reserved for special-needs cases. The department normally distributes 4,000 doses annually. The Centers for Disease Control prioritized its vaccines for high- risk patients, which the center counted as 98 million Americans. Jay Reppert, Lafene Health Center medical director, said the shortage of vaccines was nothing to panic about. Lafene has had vaccine shortages in the past, and we usually are able to handle the demand of the university, Reppert said. There are very few vaccines college students need to worry about. Reppert said Lafene distributed vaccinations according to CDC ' guidelines. We had enough for the high-risk group and had some for others, he said. Some people just had to wait a while for their vac- cinations. Reppert said one blessing was the flu strain during the winter was the same strain from winter 2003-04, so many people already were immiuie.

In the aftermath of the tsunami, the dead bodies uncovered from the rubble became so numerous that remaining hospitals and morgues became unable to cope with the carnage. Some governments stopped counting the numbers of the dead altogether and dug mass graves for the several thousand bodies that were found each day. Meanwhile, survivors throughout the region began to search for their children, spouses, friends and relatives, separated from them during the tragedv. Relief teams soon were dispatched from all over the world to help the survivors. The United States originallv donated $35 million to the relief effort, but that figure rose to $350 million after the Bush administration received criticism for the small donation.

James Jack Cowen was arrested near First United Methodist Church on Poyntz Avenue. The church reported the theft of Target gift certificates for an upcoming wedding, Jan. 8, and witnesses called the police after observing the suspicious looking man loitering out- side the church several times in the week previous to his arrest. After the apprehension of the suspect, Rilev County Police searched the man ' s hotel room finding marijuana and drug parapher- nalia. He was charged with four counts of felony burglary; possession of paraphernalia and pos,session of marijuana. Bond was set at $30,000. Student Publications Inc., in Kedzie Hall, also was robbed in early January. Although there was suspicion about the crimes being related, police refused to comment, citing an ongoing investigation. ffi ' ARTMENT HEAD HOnKFY RFARON JUVENILE oies Leonard Bloomquist, associate profes- lUid head of the Department of Sociol- ' . died Feb. 7.

Five months before the cancellation, the NHL had a lockout over salaries, which led to the can- cellation. This was the first time a North American major league sports team lost its season because of labor disputes. The last time the NHL had its season cut short was in I9I9, during a flu epidemic. Players felt the lost season would result in a loss of spectators in the upcoming season. execuiions bannea The Supreme Court banned juvenile execution March 1, with a 5-4 ruling.

Welch, assistant professor in the Divi- sion of Continuing Education, had 200 to 300 students on the waiting list for her Introduction to Himian Development class, she knew something had to change. Welch changed the structure of the course. Instead of meeting midtiple times each week for lectures, she decided to have an interactive class once a week and have students watch lectures on CDs at their conve- nience at home. That was in 2002. As of fall semester, the new structure of the course had been in operation for three semesters. Welch said enrollment had nearly doubled, but student demands were being met. Welch said students were not learning to their potential by sitting in a lecture and not doing anything to apply their knowledge. During a grant research proj- ect, she figured out the sokuion to the problem. You guys grew up on Nintendo, Welch said. The obvious answer was to incorporate technology. Ragan Harrison, sophomore in elementary educa- tion, said she enjoye d the new structine of the class. It gave me the freedom to work with my own schedule through the lecture CDs, Harrison said. It also allowed (Welch) to do more activities and hands- on learning in class, which helped me. Welch also said with the CDs, the class appealed to more learners, including vision- and hearing- impaired students and those who didn ' t learn well by listening to lectures. You learn better when you have a 103-year-old by Kristen Day woman tell you her story, not reading it, she said, or applying (Erik) Erikson ' s eight steps, not memorizing them. Welch said the class proved successfiU in retention of course material and the drop-fail-and-withdrawal rates. She said five years ago the rate was close to 37 percent and has decreased to less than five percent. Pamela Clark, jimior in family studies and human services, said at times the class seemed a little over- whelming, but Welch made it easy to understand. (She) and her GTAs are always there for you, Clark said. She ' s full of energy and she boimces around the room. You ' re just like, ' Wow. ' Harrison also enjoyed the class and Welch ' s style of teaching. I like her teaching style so much that I have made it a point to be in one of her classes every semester, Harrison said. I like how Kelly interacts with her stu- dents (and) how honest and open she is. Welch said while she knew what her teacher evalu- ations said aboiU her and the class, she didn ' t know exactly why so many students took her class. I think they know there ' s a teacher there who cares, she said. I try to make them feel like they ' re not another number. Welch said negative comments were rare for the class, though there was one downside. The negative thing about the class is the price of the books, she said. I just want (students) to know I really don ' t have control over it. 700 academics Working on an assign- ment, Samantho Gross, freshman in elementary educa- tion, and Amelia Hartley, freshman in elementary educa- tion, ask Tom Hodapp, teacher assistant and senior in family studies and human services, a question. Welch said one of her favorite memories occurred when she showed a graphic video of a fetal surgery. This semester a student, in her effort to leave the classroom as quickly as possible, hit her head on the door and was knocked uncon- scious. We had to call an ambulance.

The class, which had two sections, met once a week, on Tuesday or Thursday during the fall semes- ter. Students took port in the discussions and watched lecture CDs to keep up with the energy Welch showed while teaching. It ' s a fun class and Kelly makes learning seem so easy, Ragan Har- rison, sophomore in business administra- tion, said. I know that I recommended it to all of my friends.

Larsen said the class was not difficult, but at the same time, it was not an easy course. I ' ve learned a lot of the history of floral design, she said. Larsen said she learned how to do floral arrangements and how to grow them. Photo by Lindsey Bauman interests Roses, daisies, lilies, gardenias and snapdragons were a few of the 50 plant and flower names students in Concepts of Floral Design had to memorize. The three-credit-hoiu class, offered every fall, gave students an introduction to the use of flowers and related products with an emphasis on fundamentals of design. Students attended a two- hour recitation and a three-hour lab. It ' s just a change, a different class, Rachel Davidson, senior in psychology, said. It ' s supposed to be kind of medita- tive — flower arranging, that is. It ' s just a change of pace from the usual classroom setting, lecture setting. Students also learned about weddings, funerals and other uses of flowers, as well as the importance of flowers, Davidson said. Walking down the street, you try to know the name of (the plant), she said. It ' s interesting and good knowledge to have. Maybe it will help me plan my wed- ding someday. In lab, students worked on projects like bud vases, table arrangements, corsages and wreaths for Thanksgiving and Christ- mas. The actual floral arrangement is easy, Katrina Martin, junior in interior design, said. The class itself, when it ' s considered — the more academic part — is hard because you have to remember all the names, the genus names and common names. Students could take home most of their projects, except those that took long to grade. Every week we have new flowers on our table, Davidson said. I like that part. It ' s just nice to have a fresh flower arrangement. It li ens up the room. Students were assigned a specific kind of arrangement to do for each lab. Instructor Kent Kimmins demonstrated the arrange- ment, and students chose the colors of flowers before putting the arrangement together, Hillary Larsen, junior in hotel restaurant management, said. I think it ' s a lot of fun getting to work with flowers and show a creative side by putting arrangements together, she said. I definitely woiUd recommend it to those who want to explore their creative side with flowers. For horticulture majors and non-majors alike, students took the class for different reasons, Martin said. It ' s all on who you are and the reasons you ' re doing the class, she said. If you ' re going in there to get an easy ' A ' , you ' re either going to take nothing out or find something that interested you. If you ' re going in there for your major or because you ' re interested, you ' ll take out a lot. 102 During a Concepts of Floral Design lab, Heather Sibley, senior in hiortlculture, arranges flowers.

Ptioto by Lindsey Bauman The Speech and Hearing Center staff and donations of more than $1.8 milHon combined to make hfe easier for the three to five percent of students and other members of the conimimitv who were affected by hearing and speech disabihties. The money will be used to construct a 15,000 square foot build- ing, three times the size of the old space in Leasure Hall. The building will enable the staff to be better equipped to pro- vide professional training, a main goal of the center. It will allow us to have more oppor- tunities for students, said Robert Garcia, research assistant professor of family stud- ies and himian services. We ' ll have more lab space in which to teach, state-of-the-art equipment and allow us to bring in a better selection of patients for (the students). Students within family studies and iiiiman services were required to complete more than 400 hoins of evaluation and treatment time with patients before gradu- ation. The new building will help cinrent students complete these hours more effi- cientlv as well as draw in graduate students. The program ranked niunber 12, out of about 150, among all master-only programs across the coiuitr) ' . Patients will benefit from the new building, as well. Not all of our clients are able to care for themselves very inde- pendently, and so we work toward independent living, said Linda Crowe, assistant professor in family studies and hiunan services. The fully equipped kitchen will allow us to do more (cooking and laundry) and have better training facilities for that. In the early 1990s, a push was made for all Kansas Board of Regents ' universities to eHminate duplications and find ways to cut costs. During the process, the Department of Communications Sciences and Disorders was identified as imnecessary. Many fought for the department, and, ultimately, the program survived. It was placed in the College of Human Ecology and the School of Famih ' Studies and Hinnan Services. In 1994, the department made the official transition and dis- cussion began about a new building. The fund-raising and design started more than 18 months ago. April 2, marked the ground- breaking, and the building was scheduled to be completed in March. (Now) it is one of only two buildings, Stonehouse is the other, that has been built totally by private money. All the others have had state involvement, said William Meredith, director of the School of Family Studies and Himian Services. We are kind of proud of that.

Photo by Drew Rose highly promoted ' 1 III II I J I T 1 - ' adership program popu sees biq qrowth - — by Mary Bershenyi The largest department on campus — the Leadership Studies Programs — worked to maintain and build enrollment numbers by targeting leaders in the freshman class. Each spring, vhen incoming freshmen were sent letters award- ing them scholarship monev to the university. Leadership Studies offered a select group who displayed characteristics of a leader, or had positions of leadership in high school, the opportunity to become a part of a special Introduction to Leadership Concepts class. We have six sections of the Intro, class, Mary Kay Siefers, assistant professor in educational administration, said. Sections C through F are for freshmen who received the letter from us in the spring. Members of the department ' s faciilt ' including Heath Hard- ing, assistant director, Sarah Decke, leadership development coordinator, and Siefers taught the classes. The course addressed how to become a more caring, compassionate leader. Each class session began with a group lecture from a kevnote speaker. Pat Bosco, dean of student life, Jon Wefald, president, and Bob Shoop, professor of educational administration and co-founder of the program, as well as others lectured the students on topics ranging from ethics to sexual harassment and values. Following the large group lecture, students divided into small groups where thev got to know 15 other students in their class. Small groups were taught by juniors or seniors minoring in Lead- ership Studies and have taken the class themselves. I learned so much from teaching, Jirstin Raybern, junior in secondary education, said. I have learned to consider things from different perspectives. The students in small groups have shown me so many different perspectives. Much of what the underclassmen derived from taking the class centered on interaction with other students in the department, said Lainen Lidirs, sophomore in himian ecologv and mass com- munications. I think that a lot of what I have gotten out of this program is the chance to meet other freshmen, Luhrs said. They are all from such different backgrounds, small towns, people who did other activities (than me) in high school. It is interesting to see their leadership. By getting freshmen interested in the minor earlv. the strength of the program is improved, Ravbern said. By sending out the letters we get the best, he said. We get them excited about the program and that is whs ' it is the largest program on campus. accounting- Front row:Dan Deines, Rodney Vogt, Jaime Schmidt, Angela Reusink, Johannna Lyie, Kim Chariand.

Photo by Chris Hanewinckel 70S -academics - by Jennifer Newberry experience One phone call and four years later. David 011ingt(Mi landed a job at his alma mater. Ollington had been an assistant professor in the Department of Speech Communica- tion. Theatre and Dance since 2001. Returning to K-State was not easy for Ollington. He first applied in 1997 after hearing of a job opening, but did not receive the job. Two years later, he received a phone call from K-State requesting him for an interview. .After spending two days on campus teaching, interviewing, meeting and greeting people, Ollington still did not have a job offer. Another two years down the road, Ollington received yet another phone call and was asked to work at K-State for one year. Dining that year, he interviewed for a tenure position and was hired. It ' s funny, because for the most part, they called me, he said. I made one phone call to (K-State) when I said I ' m interested in this, and that was in 1997, and after that it was them calling me. }ovce Yagerline, associate professor in the Speech Communica- tion, Theatre and Dance departtnent, said Ollington had a strong work ethic and a broad background. (He knows) how actors work and how dancers work, she said. He ' s open and willing to seek new things cnit. Ollington ' s resume details experience in performance, teach- ing, modeling and choreography. After receiving a bachelor of arts degree in theatre from K-State, Ollington started a master ' s degree in dance at Texas Christian University, but left after a year to dance in the Kansas City metropolitan area. While in the Kansas City area, Ollington worked with professional music theatres, choreographed, taught at local colleges and even founded a dance company with friends called Aha! Dance Theatre. continued on page 111 At exactly 8:05 a.m., Ollington takes attendance for his Modern Dance 1 class, Nov. 16. Asa choreographer, I think he ' s inventive and he provokes the audi- ence to think deeper about dance, Hoyley Cherveny, senior in psychology, said. As a professor, I think he sparks interest In his students. He fries to maintain a profes- sional attitude while still frying to define the students.

But because I was doing this and this and this, it looks like a lot. He began in theatre and dancing because his parents were in theatre — his mother a singer, his father a pianist. Ollington moved to Manhattan at age eight with his family, where his father was the first house manager at McCain Auditorium. I grew up watching rehearsals, he said. I was in shows they did when they needed a little boy. Music is a big part of my upbringing. Ollington said he learned about the rehearsal process at an early age, learning what a rehearsal was and how thev worked. That gave me a real advantage — all of the watching that 1 did of the actors, Ollington said. When I started studving acting later and I was able to do a lot of things other people couldn ' t do just because they didn ' t ha e the imderstanding of what went into the process. I always had opinions about what I saw and who I liked. I watched auditions. I watched exerything. When he was younger, McCain Auditoriuiu was like a play- ground. It ' s very funny working here now and seeing the building and remembering it when I was eight, Ollington said. I knew every nook and cranny of that place. Ollington has taught a variety of classes — everything from ballet, jazz and rhythmic notation to modern dance. Ollington choreographed musicals and dance concerts, in addition to being a production coordinator. It ' s a fun time of life, and I enjoy getting excited about creat- ing or getting excited about bringing a student farther in what she ' s trying to accomplish — bringing out performance qualities, Ollington said. I enjoy creating movement and finding ways of making them accessible for audiences. One of Ollington ' s students, Hayley Cherveny, senior in psy- chology, said he was one of the most noticeably dedicated profes- sors in his department. I think one thing that sets David apart is that he heightens the level of cultinal interest in Manhattan, and he ' s a very influential part of the arts in Manhattan, Cherveny said. He works with the Manhattan Arts Center and the theatre department and the dance department and he ' s someone who definitely promotes culture and art and interest in the town. Ollington said he foiuid his time at K-State to be enjoyable. I ' lu kind of awestruck that this is my job, he said. I ' m teach- ing impro isation, dan ce composition and modern dance, which are fields I am very passionate aboiu. I am really very happy here. Ollington said he planned to branch out and get work as a cho- reographer or a director fiuther awav than Kansas City — so he coidd continue to luake contacts and network with people. 1 want to grow as a choreographer, he said. Unfortunately, this is not something I see here. daaidollingtorL m Leveling his fripod, Dane Fletcher, senior in architectural engi- neering, makes sure the device is com- pletely level before he takes measurements. Photo by Drew Rose by Kristen Day outlook They could be seen all around campus, in the open field by Anderson Hall across Mid Campus Drive, in front of Hale Library and in the quad between Waters, Willard and Cardwell Halls. Elementary Surveying Engineering was open to all majors, but was required of foin- majors: civil engineering, landscape architec- tine, construction science and architectiual engineering. It ' s a civil engineering class, Susan Gerth, an instructor in civil engineering, said. (There are) more construction science folks in there than anything, but others can take it as an elective. Gerth said the course was important because students needed to learn the importance of engineering measiuements and the specifics of surveying. Even though most of them won ' t do surveying when they get out, she said, they will work with surveyors for construc- tion projects. Gerth said there were three pieces of equipment students commonly used — a steel measuring tape to measure distances, a theodolite to measure angles and pre- cisely locate certain points and a level for finding elevations. I think (the instriunents) are prettv incredible, Dane Fletcher, senior in archi- tectural engineering, said. The manufac- turing of them must be so precise in order for them to d o what we want. In practice, an extremely small flaw in a piece of sur- veying equipment can literally throw the data off by multiple meters. Nathan Riley, senior in architectiual engineering, took the class in the fall and said he thought it was an interesting class. Personally, I don ' t think it ' s hard, he said. (You learn) what kinds of things you do for safety — a lot of math, but it ' s not (difficidt). You take several shots and readings of Anderson and the steeple. Just using (the level) instrument, you can tell the height or length of an object several feet in front of you. Gerth said it was important for students to learn the importance of understanding surveying and engi- neering. (Students need to) pay attention to detail, Gerth said. They should have a good appreciation for preci- sion that is necessary for design and engineering professions. Trying to keep steady, Nathan Riley, senior in architectural engi- neering, holds a mea- suring rod on the base of a light pole while his partner takes a read- ing. The group tried to figure out the height of Anderson Hall. Everybody has a lab once a week, Riley said. Every lab group gets a certain building on campus and gets different heights of the land around (it). Photo by Drew Rose sun ' ey class J J .

The women marched from the quad through Aggie ille to City Park. Sue teaches The History and Politics of Family Violence for (the Women ' s Studies Department) every other year, said Cia Verschelden, director of the department. It was a remarkable speech before we walked down to the park. Dining the walk, the women chanted, Women tmited, never divided and held posters proclaiming, Freedom tonight and It is mine, I ' m takin it back. While the rally welcomed men and women.

It has always been a place to find safety and com- fort with other women. Manv female participants had been victims or directly affected by violence from men, she said. One in foiu women will be raped in her lifetime, Cher eny said. This one night a year, feel safe on the streets with only women. Men not marching encourage that. The march was organized entirely b ' members of Ordinary Women and those in the Women ' s Studies program. These women are fantastic, wonderful, said Michele Janette, associate professor of English and adviser of Ordinary Women. They are bringing more interest to the Women ' s Studies program, which is great. Women ' s Studies was accredited as a full major in September, allowing students to focus solely on the department rather than the previous secondary major program. Foiuteen people declared themselves Women ' s Studies majors. We all want to educate students on violence towards women, Verschelden said. We have an Intro- duction to Women ' s Studies with 500 to 600 students a year, and it addresses many of the issues that go along with Take Back the Night. The coalition of the department and the organiza- tion educated students and the commimity on issues that face women every day. That has always been oiu- goal, Janette said, to raise awareness and make women feel safe on campus. professional Frontrow:JudyCollins,JungOh,LorlBrack,KaleenKnopp. Back row: Don Von Bergen, Patricia Ackerman, John Heublein, Mitch Barnes, Fred Guzek, Joel Matthews, 0.

Students in the class learned about types of tea, growing conditions and the history of each tea. We tasted five different teas, Kennedy said. Typi- cally, green tea is from China, black tea is from India. The black- blend base we had is from India that had sunflowers and mallow blossoms.

Nov. 11, they had a tea party. In Tea Tasting Aroiuid the Globe, students learned the origins and brewing processes of different varieties of teas. Linda Teener, UFM executive director, said everyone learned something from the class, regardless of how much prior knowledge the students had about tea. There were some (students) who had had quite a bit of experi- ence with tea, and there were people who had never had much more than Lipton, Teener said. The group was very enthusiastic about different kinds of teas and the opportunity to sample them. Stormy Lee Kennedy, owner of Claflin Books Copies, taught the class. Kennedy, a certified accredited tea consultant, brewed her own tea. Helping people appreciate and imderstand the available variet- ies of tea was the purpose of the class, Kennedy said. I just wanted to give them the experience of the different kinds of tea and what ' s available so they can be knowledgeable consumers, she said. We tried to show where tea is grown and in what kind of conditions, then we tasted five different teas. Kennedy donated all the tea for the class, which included green tea from Japan, black tea from India and a black blend tea containing simflowers and mallow blossoms. Kennedy said more Americans were drinking tea now than ever before. Tea is gaining in popularity in the United States, Kennedy said. In the 800th edition of Batman, the comic book, the Mad Hatter makes a reference to tea. I figure that when you see it in a comic book, you ' ve got an American tradition. Angela Moore, senior in hotel restaurant management, attended the class to help prepare for her career. She hoped to one day own a dessert shop. 1 wanted to learn about different types of teas so I know what kinds of desserts they go well with and what people like to drink, Moore said. I ' m really not a tea drinker, so it was something I needed to educate myself on. Moore said she appreciated the opportunity to learn more about something specialized. Anytime you ' re introducing something new like this into a commimity that isn ' t used to it, it ' s really great, she said. It ' s a really great way to educate yourself about something you might not be exposed to in everyday life. ufrn f r Jennifer Dunn, gradu- ate student in speech), tall s to Katie Scanlon, frestiman in interior design, about tier upcoming speech.

She can totally relate to us, Scanlon said. It ' s like she luiderstands how busy we all get and makes sure to gi e us enough time to work. She does a great job with balancing oiu stress along with hers. After Dunn completed her bachelor ' s degree at K-State in speech commimication, she taught across the nation and abroad for nine years. She decided to, instead, teach at the tiniversity level and returned to K-State to earn her masters degree in speech commu- nication and eventually hoped to piusue her doctoral degree at another university. I am hoping to be accepted to Berkley, Dimn, graduate student in speech, said. 1 woidd then like to teach internationally again. After she entered the workforce 11 years ago, Dunn taught at American schools in Japan, Ciuatemala and Germany. When I taught in Berlin, I loved it, Dimn said. I loved that it was a large, cultiual city. Dimn taught at K-State for the past two years in the Department of Public Speaking, which, Dimn said, she enjoyed immensely. It ' s easier for me than other graduate students, Dunn said. It ' s just another teaching gig. One differ- ence I enjoy is the communication with the students. Students in Dunn ' s public speaking classes enjoyed her as a teacher and an equal. division of continuing education by Leslie Marshall Kayla Davisson, freshman in open-option, said Dunn pushed her to reach her full potential. She makes sine we learn what we are supposed to, Katie Scanlon, freshman in interior design, said. In such an easy subject, she doesn ' t give an easy ' A. ' . lthough Dimn enjoyed teaching college students, she foimd working toward her masters in speech communication and teaching speech classes provided challenges on both ends of the spectrum. Time man- agement presented Dunn with problems, but her main struggles came in her graduate classes. The thing I worry about the most is the big research projects, my thesis, Dunn said. I don ' t feel totally prepared because I ' m not in a class setting. It ' s a lot of discipline on my part. Dimn ' s major professor, LeAnn Brazeal, assistant professor of speech commimication, theater and dance, said Dunn was prepared for the job she encountered. Brazeal also said Dunn understood how to deli er the material to her students. She is very professional, Brazeal said. She always does an excellent job of working with students and giving them extra ambition when they need it. In addition to her responsibilities as a teacher and attending classes, Dimn attended weekly department meetings and a week-slong orientation at the begin- ning of each year. It ' s all about organization, Dimn said. I know I have to get all of my reading assignments finished as well as plan out my classes and then carry them out. electrical and computer engineering Front row: Ivy Popovjch, Ellen Stauffer, Donna Menke, Nita Prickett, Charlene Chabries, Lynda Spire, Row 2: Linda Morse, Jan Hudzicki, Sarah Froelich, Debra Hagenmaier, Janice Nikkei, Suzy Hay Row 3: John AHard, Jennifer Sommers.Trina McCarty, Pam Barrett, Vickey Grochowski.

Many girls didn ' t have to study as much in high school and this helps them be a success. According to Greek Affairs, the all-fraternity and all-sorority average GPAs had consistently to]:)ped the all-inii ersitv luider- graduate average for more than 10 vears. Many greek organizations required study hours for new members or house members whose grade point average fell below 3.0. Implementation of stiich ' hours aried with each greek organization. James Welch, Phi Kappa Theta scholarship chair and junior in ci il engineering, said their in-house study sessions were fulfilled on an honor system. Freed said Alpha Xi Delta woinen were monitored by upperclassmen at Hale Library on study nights and in their house. Shayla Sack, Kappa Delta scholarship chair and jiuiior in industrial engineering, said their house got rid of mandatory hours because they were not productive. When people feel like they have to stud), they have a nega- tive attitude, Sack said. People would go down to the study room to fill up their time and just talk and then we couldn ' t use the stud) ' room because of the talking. To maintain a high house-GPA, Kappa Delta developed an academic contract for women with a GPA less than 3.0. It assigned them an academic mentor and required them to turn in a monthly progress report. Welch said studv sessions helped students plan their study time around the many campus activities. Even at the beginning, if they didn ' t like them, in the end they realize they are a good thing and they are getting good grades, Freed said.

Many dual majors take classes at botti campuses with one or two classes on either- campus. It is not hard to handle life at both places, Biasing said. Plus the people on both campuses are really nice. Photo by Chris Hanewinckel by AlexYocum The Ten Commandments greeted visitors to Manhattan Christian College, setting a precedent for what took place on the campus. MCC, across from K-State on Anderson Ave., stayed busy edu- cating new Christian leaders. The small campus drew students from all over the country. Students came not only for the tightly-knit community but for the academic programs as well. Unlike many Christian colleges, MCC offered a dual degree program with a major university, which allowed students to simidtaneouslv receive degrees from MCC and K-State. It gives the students great opportunities and goes back to the MCC purpose, Eric Sanford, director of MCC student develop- ment, said. It does not matter what the student wants to do, it is just the fact that they can apply school to both aspects of their lives to fulfill God ' s purpose for them. In addition to coursework, MCC required (Christian service activities for eight semesters before a student could graduate. Kayla Malee Campbell, sophomore in music and Bible, said the required activities included volimteer opport unities aroimd the commiuiity, within chinches or on either campus. The workload for dual majors differed depending on the student ' s majors. Some dual degree students only took a few classes at K-State, while others took only a few at MCC, depending largelv on class schedules. Sanford said the only time K-State conflicted with MCC was Tuesday and Friday during evening chapel. It is hard not to be more involved with one than the other, Melissa Biasing, senior in kinesiology and Bible, said. I ' ve been so involved at MCC that it has been difficult to get really involved at K-State. It is also hard because when people find out that I am an MCC student they immediately think of me differ- ently, either positively or negatively. They make assumptions. Involvement at MCC is more religion based than at K-State. With groups for prison ministry, discipleship and mission trips, many students balanced involvement with K-State groups. Biasing said she joined the groups on campus that involved her major but other than that she stayed in her MCC commiuiity. MCC feels more like a family than K-State, Biasing said. Although K-State is generally friendly and I ' ve never had any major problems with professors. There is just more community at MCC. MCC encouraged students to branch out and join the K-State community even if it was to take a few classes. We are excited we can partner with K-State, Sanford said. Both the administrations have worked very well over the years and we enjoy the relationship God has helped create. The students enjoy it as well. You can see it in their faces. m --- w- tf ms ' ST - ' J V ' D H .

Pike, a former MCC student, and Biasing both played on MCC ' s women ' s soccer team. Most of the schools we play give scholar- ships for sports, Bias- ing said. That does make it unfair in a way, but we really don ' t mind. It is still fun. The school excelled in athletics. Photo by Chris Hanewinckel In the afternoon of Nov. 15, Biasing reads out of the Jewish Study Bible. Biasing lived directly behind Manhattan Christian College. Classes at MCC had an aver- age of 20 students and classes taught on campus were religion- based. I wanted to go to a Christian col- lege in order to learn more about Christian- ity, Biasing said, was also interested in being a (physical therapist), so It was convenient to attend both schools at the same time.

In the process of updat- ing the archives. Acker and Lundberg found 74 boxes with office calendars and speeches, 20 boxes with travel Information and another 20 to 30 boxes.

Harris worked on Clementine Paddleford, a 1921 K-State graduate who was a foods editor in New York after she graduated. Harris sorted through infor- mation in box number 252 and expected to archive more than 300 boxes. As of the fall semester, the special collections depart- ment boasted more than 100,000 books, magazines and docu- ments. Nearly all items were donated.

Specifically, Hale ' s Department of Special Collections served as a time capsule of literary works, including books, magazines and manuscripts, Lori Goetsch, dean of KSU Libraries, said. It ' s a place where we can house and preserve rarer or more alnable materials, Goetsch said. Roger Adams, rare books librarian, said the department, which boasted more than 100,000 books and other docimients, received materials through its active donor program. It acquired some materials from rare book dealers nationwide. Adams said the age of the book, the fact that it is several hundred years old and still in existence, or a common book with a large press run but written in or owned b ' a famous person, made a book or docu- ment rare. Regardless, the materials within the department, which began in the late 1960s, served as excellent sources for academic research, Goetsch said. Tony Crawford, director of the special collections and the university ' s first arch- vist, said his love for history gave rise to his interest in special and rare books. I love historical manuscripts, he said. Thev benefit the needs of others, whether it ' s research needs or examining the history of K-.State. One of the department ' s most recent significant acquisitions was a collection of corporate records for Farmland Industries, the largest LIS. farmer-owned cooperative. The Kansas City, Mo. based company filed Chapter 11 bankruptcy in 2002, Crawford said. Adams said the department ' s oldest acquisitions include an Italian cookbook printed in 1487. The department also holds claim to owning the first book printed in English in what was to become the state of Kansas. The book was published in 1835. In the fall, the department had documents and books chronicling the history of Riley County and Manhattan displayed as part of an exhibit celebrating the county and citv ' s sesquicentennial anniver- sary, which will occiu ' injinie. The department ' s collection was open for toins and nearly all machine specializing in handling older materials. Adams said although he worked as an employee of Hale for years, the department ' s collection amazed him time and again, and he hoped the same was true for visitors. We ' re a museum where you can tovich everything, he said. It ' s a treasure trove. Every week I find something I didn ' t know we had. histon by Corbin H.CrableV Books from the special collections stacks sit marked on restricted shelves on the fifth floor of Hale Library.

He makes you work hard for your grades and forces you to learn everything about (anthropol- ogy), Wood said. He has made me more aware about work- ing hard and getting the grade I deserve. Photo by Chris Hanewinckel traveler Like most college students, his major changed constantly, some- thing Michael Finnegan did not have in mind during high school or his first year at college. Several years later, in 2004, he held his place as a nationally recognized forensic anthropologist. I entered college to study civil engineering, Finnegan, profes- sor of physical anthropology, said. Then, after I got out of the Navy, I thought I better get educated. I had about enough money to go to school for two )ears, so I took everything. Finnegan took his first physical anthropology and archaeology class his first year back at college. Because the professor interested him, Finnegan decided to take one class after another, studying anthropology. Finnegan earned his bachelor ' s, masters, and doctoral degrees from the University of Colorado. He then traveled across the world leading investigations, but worked mostly in the United States, especialh in the Midwest, and continued to do studies for the Cen- tral Identification Lab in Hawaii. It ' s exciting; every case is different, he said. I make every case demanding. It ' s rewarding to come up with an opinion about age, sex, race, statiue, length t)f death, cause of death. Sometimes I ' m quite close, sometimes I ' m not close at all. Finnegan said he worked with many bright people and created friendships with medical examiners and their staff. Finnegan also traveled extensively. Every place has been a favorite for one reason or another, he said. Australia and Eg pt had the best sites, even if the pyramids are not as big as I thought they were. In Zeged, Hiuigary, I col- lected the most and best data than any other single place. Although Finnegan has been at K-State since 1973, he said he iiad taught all his life. Mv kids coidd alwavs tell if I was talking to them or lectiuing at them, he said. Finnegan ' s students said he was witty, intelligent, nice, and fun to learn from, but his class was difficidt. Sometimes it ' s hard to pay attention and catch on because he knows so much, Kelly Wood, junior in theatre, said. But he ' s so passionate about what he ' s doing that it makes you want to learn. Other students who took Finnegan ' s class agreed. He is a very funny man, an excellent teacher, and definitely looks like Santa Clause, Matthew Langford, senior in theatre and anthropology, said. His class is just very hard. Finnegan said despite where a student attends school or who the student has as instructors, a good student equals a good education. I do what I can to produce an in-depth yet broad education for my students, but not all students appreciate it at the same level, Finnegan said. Mv philosophy is education is only as good as the student. Like other professors, Finnegan was used to seeing some students sitting before him with confused, glazed eyes just staring, sometimes nodding with understanding, whether they understood or not. He said he felt he made progress when he saw students with a smile on their face. He knew a light bulb clicked on and thcv made a connection or imderstood a concept. The most rewarding thing is rimning into (students) and find- ing out what I did in the classroom made a difference, Finnegan said. They don ' t even need to be an anthropologist. I ' d be satis- fied if they were good citizens, not just of the United States, but of the world. jcmiis Anthropology instruc- tor Mictiael Finnegan, lectures during Ills Introduction to Ptiysiccl Anttiropology class, Nov. 12.

An office in Holton Hall helped physically and cognitivelv disabled students adjust to college life and offered support. Many disabilities are invisible, Gretchen Holden, director of Disability Support Services, said. Because of this, DSS is designated as a clearing house, review- ing documentation to make sure a student qualifies and gets the appropriate services. The outlets of assistance varied depending on what kind of help each student needed, said Lisa Helvie, graduate student in family studies and human services. Test-taking accommodations included extended tiine, distraction-reduced rooms, enlarged tests, taped tests and use of a word processor. Scribes and readers also were available, according to the DSS Web site. Notetakers also were available for students with doc- imiented disabilities. DSS recruited volunteer notetak- ers for particular classes and even communicated with the class instructor for further help. Helvie said audio books were available to students in the DSS office after they purchased the textbook for the class and presented a proof of piuchase to DSS. Students used CD-ROMs and cassettes due to the sim- plicity of listening on computers, MPS players and CD players, as well. Tape-recorded lectures also were available to stu- dents, according to the DSS office. Permission from instructors was needed for a student to record lectures. Support groups also allowed students to adapt to college life at K-State. Two active support groups meet regularly during the fall and spring semesters: Learning Disabilities Attention Deficit Disorder and head injury support groups, said Kelsey Kohn, graduate student in family studies and human services. These groups provide an opportunity for students to discuss their experiences and concerns with other students who have had similar experiences. Students with physical disabilities, such as deaf- ness, hard of hearing, blindness, visual impairment or mobility impairment were equally accommodated. DSS pro ides interpreters for students who are deaf, Holden said. We want the student to have the same ' by Leslie Marshall Alex Yocum opportunities to succeed in college as an able student. Sludents who were deaf or hard of hearing had the options of notetakers and sign language interpreters for classes and other university related activities. Stu- dents with a hearing impairment could obtain assisted listening devices for use in class from the DSS office, according to the DSS Web site. This seinester, my sister goes to all ol my classes and takes notes for me, Derrick Elsen, freshman in business administration, said. I have a tutor that I work with twice a week from DSS. Along with academic accommodations, K-State allowed wheel chairs and seeing-eye-dogs on campus. They all love my dog Steve, Elsen said. He is 2 years old. I just got him in June. Elsen went blind in May 2003 after a boating acci- dent caused him to run into a tree. After the impact, his vision became impaired. Students with inobility impairment found K-State was relatively free of architectural barriers, Holden said. Accessible residence halls and parking were available, as well as the KSU Shuttle Service, which provided transportation on campus for students with mobility impairments. Along with accessible facilities, students with mobil- ity impairments were allowed priority enrollment to enable students to plan their schedules, usually done through the DSS office, Helvie said. Overall, camp us seemed well organized for students with either physical or cognitive disabilities, said Valen- tina N.T. Burton, Educational and Personal Programs consultant for K-State. She also said K-State had funds for the programs that make the office ' s functions suc- cessful. K-State allotted $192,226 for special needs stu- dents and their accommodations, Burton said. This figure changes from year to year, depending on the students receiving service. Burton also said K-State administrators hope more students realize help is available and hopes to put in even more services for the students benefits. DSS ' s goal is to level the playing field, Holden said. College can be hard, and when a student has a disability, we want to help them feel comfortable in their environment and be that extra support system. 1 spedaLneedas J Absorbed in his worl , James R. Hodgson seals a piece of glass tubing to a flask, Jan. 20, in his laboratory in the Chemistry Bio- chemistry Building. Hodgson created and repaired glass devices for the uni- versity, but focused mostly on repairs for the chemistry department. Hodgson said professors often come to him to create glass devices for classes and labs, as it often was cheaper for Hodgson to do it rather than buying the devices from a com- pany.

Aharo Herrera, graduate student in biochemistry, worked to adhere two pieces of glass together by creating a straight seal. The project was for ScientiHc CUassblowing, a class taught by Jaiiies R. Hodgson. F. ervthing is difficult, Herrera said. (Hodgson) makes it look eas , but when you try it, it ' s hard. It takes lots of practice — trv and try and try. Six students attended the one-hour weekly class and spent additional time working independently to coiuplete projects in a lab. Students began the class by learning simple procedures, such as cutting glass, firepolishing the ends of glass, iriaking round bot- toms, working on straight seals, side seals and basic techniques to do simple repairs. continued on page 133 With his firepower ready, James R. Hodgson heats a piece of glass tubing to 1,250 degrees Celsius to attach to a flask for research for the Department of Entomology. The flame is natural gas and oxygen and, at its hottest point, is 2,650 degrees Celsuis. Boro- silicate glass becomes red at 1,250 degrees Celsius, allowing glass to be sealed together and other repairs to be made, Hodgson said. Somethings look simple, but if they ' re precise, they may take more time than something that looks complex. Photo by Chris Hanewinckel Paying attention to detail, Alvaro Herrera, graduate student in biochemistry, creates a straight seal, con- necting two pieces of glass tubing. Students used the lab on their own time. You ' re working on science, but a different part, Herrera said. I like being able to learn how to do things with your hands. It could be relaxing at times, but not yet. It ' s hard right now. Herrera said he took the course after looking on the course sched- ule for the chemistry department for pos- sible classes to take in the spring.

Hodgson, senior master glass- blower, repairs various glass pieces for the ctiemistry depart- ment. Hodgson began tils work at K-State in July of 1996, replac- ing MItsugi Ohno. Mr. Ohno used to say, ' Ttie glass speaks to me, ' Hodgson said. I wish it would speak to me. Photo by Chris Hanewinckel A project for Scientific Glassblowing was to make straight seals, which required sealing two pieces of glass tubing together. This showed them how to make simple repairs. I think most people enjoy the chance to do things with their hands and have a product at the end, Hodgson said. Glassblowing to me is really enjoyable and I think it is for some students, too.

It ' s dil- ferent than a class where you sit and listen to a lecture. The reason for getting into glassblowing varied for each person. For Hodgson, senior master glassblower, it was a search for something satisfying and liiHilling that lead him to glassblowing. I worked lor an oil compan for 10 years and wasn ' t all that happy taking clients out to lunch, so I looked for something more interesting to do, he said. I looked for something that was satisfying and that I would love to do for the rest of my life. Hodgson told his students to not get discouraged when first beginning glassblowing. Despite doing glassblowing for 10 years, Hodgson said he continued to improve his talent. Cilassblowinsi isn ' t easv and it ' s different, he said. It takes practice. Y ou ha ' e to work at it. No one would expect to sit down and be a concert pianist. Likewise, you can ' t expect, in a semester, to be a great glassblower. While at K-State earning a geophysics degree, graduating in 1982, Hodgson studied under Mr. Ohno, senior master glassblower at the time. He was a Japanese glassblower, Hodgson said. Thev brought him over from Japan and inade special arrangements to get hiin in the country. It turns out he was a great glassblower. His title was senior master glassblower and he was a master if that title means something. Not too many glassblowers of his caliber. Hodgson observed Ohno while he worked and (jften made notes. Looking back on those notes, Hodg- son said he didn ' t know the right questions to ask at the time. There is a learning curve, he said. The class had a practical application to learning a new technique such as glassblowing. Students learned skills they could take into the workplace. Not every professional lab had a glassblower, so doing simple repairs on glass would be easy to do, Herrera said. Hodgson said some of his former students have used glassblowing at their places of employment, so he felt a sense of contribution. Nathan Moore, senior in chemical science, said if something got broken in the chemistry department on campus where he worked, he could firepolish the ends so it was not so sharp.

Many of the principle parts, including the two leads, Danny and Sandy, were played h freshman, which added reality and energy to the pro- duction, TNlei J. Woods, senior in applied music, said. The directors were wanting a fresher and younger approach to the show, Woods, who played Johnny (Casino, said. I think it made us remember what high school was like. Woods, who graduated from high school in 1999, said it was easier for vounger actors, who graduated more recentlv, to relate to the musicars themes and situations. With these people actually being a lot closer to the ages of their characters, it kind of brought a new spin on it, Woods said. These people are actu- allv going through a lot of the things that Danm ' and Sandy were going through, with fitting in and being a rebel and all those things. I think they were able to identifv more with what kinds of issues teenagers were going through in this particular production. All five of the main male parts were played by fresh- men, (iriff Letch, freshman in open-option, said. Letch played Kenickie, and two friends he lived with on third-floor Haymaker Hall played Danny and Roger. You build good friendships during (a produc- tion), Letch said. Our whole floor came to the show. Peter Burghart, senior in theater, said freshmen castmembers had to adjust to some of KSL ' Theatre ' s common practices, like warm-ups, cable work and dis- cussions about character development, which he said are not often done at the high school level. It was interesting, because they didn ' t really know the way we tried to work up here, but they caught on really quickly, Burghart, who plaved Eugene, said. E ' eryone got along really well.

Smith was not the photographer. His job con- sisted of the design, installation and maintenance of the exhibit. The K-State alumnus, who has a masters degree in art from the University of New Mexico, was part of the Marianna Kistler Beach Museum of Art staff for nine years. However, he did not always want to be an exhibit designer. I got invohed in graduate school working in the art museum, Smith said. There was a lot of opportu- nity, so I stayed in it. When he heard about the available position at the Beach Museum, Smith jumped at the chance. I couldn ' t advance in the other job, so this was a step up, Smith said. I was lucky. Katherine Walker Schlageck, education and public supervisor for the museum, said Smith ' s work is impor- tant. The exhibitions designer is, in his own right, an artist, Schlageck said. The Senior Curator and Director set the exhibit schedule, with staff inpiu, at least two years in advance, Working on the exhibit ' s title, Lindsay Smith tries to complete the exhibit before its opening for visitors viewing at the Beach Museum in February. When the people and the artists are happy, you get a feeling of satisfaction, he said. Photo by Chris Hanewincl el by Alison Muckel Smith said. We discuss how big the show is going to be, how much gallery space we have, media, framing needs, pedestals, he said. Generally, it takes one to two weeks, sometimes more, to set up an exhibit. Sometimes trips to artists ' studios helped or they visited other venues to get ideas. My favorite part of the job is working with indi- vidual artists, Smith said. You get a lot more out of it with a li ing artist. Some students, who made it a point to visit exhib- its, said they usually liked the layout of the art at the Beach Museum. I feel they do a good job with the mood of the rooms and the lighting, Raina Hanley, freshman in anthropology, said. Overall, I really enjoy the layout and the pieces themselves. Hanle) ' walked through the exhibit Giving Life to Glass: The Art of Lino Tagliapietra. Smith estimated he had set up 120 exhibits throughout his career. Each exhibit has its own unique qualities, and some are hard to install, Smith said. Once people are looking at it, then vou can step back and breathe, but then you have to get ready for the next one. Lindsay Smith works on the Marianna Kistler Beach Museum of Art ' s exhibit of Steve Fitch ' s nationally recognized photography. We don ' t stay regional, Smith said. It ' s more expensive, but it ' s well worth it because our attendance goes up.

The construc- tion took place in the basement, the oldest of five dif- ferent structures comprised Seaton Hall. When the rest of Seaton was remodeled, starting in 1999, the project ran out of money and materials, so the completion of the basement was not possible, Vladimir Krstic, professor of architecture, said. This opened up the possibility for the basement to become a project for students. Krstic and architecture instru ctor Chris Spaw led the project, with help from their studios to produce tlte design and input from faculty members. Twenty-six students put in more than 6,000 hoius of their time on the 10,000-square-foot project, said Diane Potts, dean of the College of Architectiue, Plan- ning and Design. Before the two-semester project, which took place during the spring and fall of 2004 began, students had to gain permission from K-State and the state of Kansas. Permission was granted because labor was free and only a few materials would have to be bought, Krstic said. Many programs use a design-build technique, Krstic said. It allows the project full completion and a valuable learning opportiuiity. They used the design-build technique along with new and recycled materials, such as slate from black- boards and wood from the pre ' ious structine. Potts said. The goal for the project was for instructional .space. the future by AlexYocum Krstic said. We wanted to design a space for presenta- tions and gathering. We also worked on the atrium and added a galler) ' . After renovation, students entered to a large wooden staircase on one side and architectural models on the other. Behind the staircase were two studios and foiu ' rooms for first-year students to utilize. It gave them a glimpse of what they were expected to learn and produce in their last years in the program, Krstic said. I think it ' s really cool, Amy Wright, freshman in environmental design, said. It gives me confidence in the program by knowing it was designed by students in the program. Although it provided more rooms, some students fotmd downfalls in the plan. We have to share space with too many other people, Ali Johnson, freshman in environmental design, said. We do not have our own space. Plus, there is a sound problem. You can hear everything everyone is saying, so it has to be quiet, as well. However, the project was still pending as new fifth- years would design and finish the rest of the basement in the futiue. School officials hoped it would tiun out just as well, Krstic said. The professionals who saw it gave it high praise, Krstic said. It has turned out quite well and meets its own objectives and surpassed the expectations of what we could ha e done. - First-year architec- ture students worl on projects in studio, Feb. 2.

We looked on the Internet to find activities to show how chemical engineering wasn ' t chemistry — that it ' s more engineering related, Laura Bien- hoff, senior in chemi- cal engineering, said. We ' ve done these three experiments in lab (at K-State.) Photo by Drew Rose Eighty-four Kansas middle schoolers came to campus, Feb. 26, to participate in EEK, Exploring Engineering at K-State. The event was planned in conjunction with National Engineer- ing Week, Feb. 20-26. Middle school students chose from civil, bio- logical and agricultinal engineering; geology; industrial engineer- ing; computer engineering; electrical engineering and chemical engineering, to attend for exploration groups. K-State students were on hand to assist in a variety of ways. Susan Arnold-Christian, outreach program coordinator, said thev had full control in planning their exploration group and leading the different rotations, in addition to helping further the students ' understanding of the topic. We want them to understand that chemical engineering is not chemistry, Alison Peterson, freshman in engineering, said. There is a difference, and we showed more of what we do. They have a completely different idea of what we do. Students in the chemical engineering exploration group went through three different rotations. The first involved vis- cosity of liquids. Students observed how fast air bubbles moved in shampoo, cook- ing oil and water, at both room and cold temperatures. The second involved the reaction and temperature relationship of vinegar on steel wool. The third involved the time it takes for an Alka Seltzer tablet to dissolve when broken into different sizes. We learned different things in chemistrv and how they react to what you do to them, Brett Eichman, student from Dodge City, Kan., said. Students learned chemical engineers we ren ' t what they thought they were, something both Peterson and Laura Beinhoff said they hoped for. Through questions, they learn how a real engineer would applv (the experiments), Beinhoff, senior in chemical engineering, said. We want them to under- stand what we learn about in chemical engineering — viscosity, heat rising. National Engineers Week was dedicated to enhanc- ing public understanding of the engineering profes- sion and to promoting pre-college interest in math, science and engineering. It ' s good to get young kids interested in school, in math and science, Peterson said. Sometimes they tend to drop off in inter- est throughout high school. The event was hosted by Girls Researching Our World, the Women in Engineering and Science Program, and the Multicul- tural Engineering Program. Arnold-Christian said she was pleased with the number of students who attended. We were anticipating 50, so we ' re happy (with 84), Arnold- Christian said. Pouring water, Joe Aker, a middle schooler from Abilene, Kan., fills the cup up as Alison Peterson, freshman in engineer- ing, help set the timer.

It ' s not really new, just revamped.

They banded together to assist total strangers whose world was destroyed by a deadly tsunami on the other side of the globe. Students opened up and relayed the joys and struggles of their lives through poetry. The benefits of involvement in campus groups — a bigger resume, personal fulfillment and free soda to sweeten the deal — made the extra hours of work worthwhile. But no matter their reason for getting involved, students brought more recognition to campus and enriched their own college experience. anizat K 4 ) u Performing Prairie Concerto, Beclcy Klein, senior in social worl , twists tier stiawl during ttie mellow part of ttie dance.

We wanted to show how the activities we were doing could be put to use and be applied to life. Photo by Lindsey Bauman Although it was done in pubhc and no nudity was invoh ' ed, Battle of the Sex- perts managed to raise a few eyebrows Feb. 17 in the K-State Student Union Courtyard. The competition kicked off when teams introduced themselves with names such as Da G-Spot and The Mis- sionaries, then gave their best pick-up lines. The Reigning Vaginas tested the limits of the audience with their line, I ' m the new milkman. Do you want it in the front or the back? Sexual Health Awareness Peer Educators sponsored the third-annual Sexperts, and emcees offered information throughout the event. Almost everyone will be sexually active at some point in their life, so we fill the need for education by teaching students about sexual health and pro- tection, said Carol Kennedy, SHAPE adviser and director of health education and promo- tion. We like to teach people, but still have fun while we are doing it. During the first roimd, con- testants put condoms on each of their hands, raced to pick up lubricated items and placed them in buckets at the other end of a tarp. SHAPE members assured doubtful condom users that although they might think condoms aren ' t big enough, if they can fit over your hand, they really are big enough. Teams battled for the dirti- est minds in the next round as teams had to say alternate names for genitals and inter- course. The three contestants who couldn ' t come up with an answer that fit the category within five seconds were elimi- nated. In the semi-final round, four contestants had to put a condom on a banana, shimmy it off, then tie it up. They had to do this while blindfolded to simulate proper condom use in the dark. Before the round began, emcees made sure the contestants and audience members knew to look at the condom ' s expiration date, for the air bubble and to make sine the condom was latex for the best protection. In the finals, The Mission- aries and The Thirsty Altar Boys went head-to-head testing their sexual knowledge. Ques- tions included information about common STDs, condom brands and other facts. We had all the questions prepared, sitting in a file, waiting to be asked, Molly Thimesch, sophomore in mass communications, said. Some of the stuff is reallv shocking, biu you think about it and it makes sense. In the end, The Thirsty Altar Boys came out victorious and were declared the official Sexperts of 2005. It was an amazing experi- ence, and our team had a lot of fun, said J. Tyson Moore, Thirsty Altar Boy team member and junior in informa- tion systems. We were hoping for the gold and we got it, so we were very excited about it. 74 ions I fe Racing the clock, Elizabeth Flentie, junior In nnarketing, races other teams putting condoms on bananas while blindfolded to simulate being in the dark.

They weren ' t wearing green tights or singing the praises of Robin Hood. They were tans of archery, however, and they were there to hone their skills. Mo.st of the 35 members of the new campus Archery club had taken a UFM archery class and didn ' t want to stop. Tom Korte, instructor for the class, helped coach the club as well. He had wanted to have a club and Jimmie Klein, senior in computer engineering, and Amy Rruger, senior in biology, made his dream a reality. Korte attributed the formation of the club to things just falling into place. We have a new range owner who has been very cooperative, Korte said. This allowed me to feel freer to promote archery. Jimmie and Amy also were responsible enough to get everything going for us. The team practiced every Monday night at the local range in Aggieville. We kind of set it up without meetings to get away from bureau- cracy, Klein said. There is not a whole lot of decision making to do with it right now because it is basically just to get together and learn. Kruger said the club would like to focus more on the style used in the Olympics. There is an incredible amount of consistent accuracy involved in it, Korte said. I consider it one of the more challenging forms, but I feel this group is up to the challenge. continued on page 149 archery U7 Dan DeLaughter, junior in biological and agricultural engi- neering, and R.

They identified themselves as Wiccans, Druids and followers of Heellenismos, Asatru and Kemetic Orthodow. In August, they became members of a new organization, the Pagan Student Group. Open to students, faculty and interested members of the community, PSG educated, informed and gave solace to people who found themselves ostracized or criticized because of their beliefs. I know people talk about me, said Patty Newton, freshman in animal sciences and industry and club secretarv. This has helped me feel not so excluded. I know now that there are people who share my beliefs. Sarah Lawver, junior in philosophy and president of PSG, registered with the Office of Student Activities and Services and conducted weekly meetings. PSG had officers, an official constitution and planned events like the Januarv lock-in and an inter-faith holiday dinner, for members only. We are going to host a May Day event, James Peek, freshman in fine arts, said. That will be one of our onlv e ' ents that is open to the whole campus. The other things we do are for our members. n ' iculrtirc Much of the isolation went back to the members ' concern over being ostracized for their different beliefs. This group is so different from all of the Christian groups on campus, said Jennifer Hill, freshman in fisheries and wildlife biology. We are increasing the diversity and learning about h ow to clarify the miscon- ceptions about (Paganism). The term ' pagan ' was an umbrella under which pre-Christian, nature-based religions fall. Not all pagans were Wiccans or practiced witchcraft. I am a Druid, Peek said. I believe in multiple gods and goddesses based in nature and natural things. The meetings, which attracted as many as 50 people addressed different religions, hosted guest speakers on the ancient religion shamanism and held classes about Runes and tarot card reading. Their goal was to give students reliable information about religious activi- ties that had previously Ijeen shunned by mainstream culture. I have learned so much, Hill said. I have gotten to know so many people so well and it is because of this group. airtbrcc During the Nov. 10 meeting, Patty Newton, frestiman in aninnal sciences and industry, worl s thirough a worksheet on the ancient Runes script.

Greeks Advocating the Maliue Management of Alcohol worked to prevent these tragedies from occiuring at K-State. Each of the 1 1 sororities and 24 fraternities had a house repre- sentative who attended the Tuesday evening meetings and learned about the affects of alcohol abuse. GAMMA serves as an organization that provides literatiue and programming on alcohol that members can take back to their house and present at chapter, Dan Sobek, senior in himian resource man- agement, said. We help encourage alcohol awareness. Individual chapters had their own policies about alcohol use and management, but the Intra-fraternity and Pan-Hellenic Councils governed the greek system and required each chapter have a risk management chair or a social chair, responsible for the education and awareness of its members on substance use as stated in the Joint Council Policy. GAMMA worked with the officers and interested students to ensiue that students were informed on the risks and consequences they were taking when they went out. We have had nurses come in and talk about what happens when people drink too much, Emily Haake, jimior in marketing, said. There have also been lawyers and attorneys come and talk about the legal ramifications. GAMMA also organized and sponsored a 5-K run every spring and donated the money to the Manhattan chapter of Mothers Against Destructive Decisions. The organization ' s goal was not to prevent students from drink- ing but rather help all students make intelligent decisions about their actions and choices and spread that message. We ' re focusing on membership, Haake said. We want as many people as possible to be involved and come to meetings so they can talk to their friends. By encoiuaging awareness, GAMMA worked to dispel some of the stereotypes about greeks and alcohol. We are about education, Haake said. There is a stereotype about greeks and we can try to prevent those issues with education. alpha cpsilon beta Front row: Sara Brogan, Evin Worthington, Courtney Boysen, Rebecca Brewer Row 2: Lucinda Sullivan, Johni Lee, Joshua Pritts,Will Sanders, Sla- va Zakjevskii, Kyle D.

Ttie ensemble tradi- tionally perfomed ttie Big 12 Medley, along with Sillhouettes at their concerts. I really enjoy the music we sing, Drew Vining, junior in open-option, said. It ' s fun. The variety ranges from secular to non-secu- lar. Photo by Chris Hanewinckel Miguel Caraballo, senior in music, sings with members of Men ' s Glee Club. Most of the men were not music majors. We have guys from all different majors, Tony Gatterman, junor in mass com- munications, said. I would have never had contact with some of these guys if I hadn ' t joined Men ' s Glee. Photo by Chris Hanewinckel or gamzatLous JJ4 perfection 1. by Leslie Marshall As ilic sounds of bass, Iku itmic aiul unor scciions of the Men ' s Cilee Club echoed throughout McCain Auditoriuin, the audience grew silent. The strong tones ot the ensemble bmsl through the silence and kept the audience in awe with their harmony of sweet sounds. The luiited resonance, under the direction of Gerald Polich, associate professor of music, combined for the first time No ' . 5 for I he audience and ensemble. Hectic schedules and lack of rehearsal linn- prevented the joining of voices sooner. We hardlv ever have time to practice together because of con- lliciing schedules, Drew Vining, junior in open-option, said. We just practice with our sections and then all together at the concert. The laid-back atmosphere, as well as the flexibility to cooperate w iih class schedules and other extracinricular activities, attracted most members to Men ' s Glee. It ' s a lot of fun, Tony Gatterman, jiniior in mass communica- tions, said. Nobody is afraid of making a fool of themselves. Members of the ensemble were not always able to attend the group rehearsals, so the men attended sectional rehearsals three times a week. We usually practice every day during the week, but there are some guvs that only go to one sectional to make up their missed group rehearsal, Gatterman said. Some people don ' t go to any group rehearsals. ' ining said with 52 men involved in performances, the envi- ronment seemed inore like a brotherhood than men getting together to sing. It is just a bunch of guys hanging out and having a good time, X ' ining said. It ' s almost like a fraternity. Some members found it difficult to balance their class schedules, rehearsal times, sectionals and the stress of participating in Grease . I don ' t sleep, eat or do homework, Ben Byard, freshman in music appreciation, said. Most of the time, it works well balancing eventhing and getting to all the different rehearsals that I need to be in. Mostly due to the flexibilitv of Jerry (Polich) — Jerry is just fantas- tic when it comes to working aroimd other ' s schedules and conflicts. Bvard also said Polich was cooperative about allowing him to take care of other obligations and still be able participate in shows. Polich ' s cooperation came from his understanding that every person involved in the group comes from different majors and dif- fernt priorities. Although members kept busy with other activities, they still found time for their involvement with Men ' s Glee. Aside from concerts and regular rehearsal schedides. Men ' s Glee traveled throughout Kansas, recruiting new voices from northeast Kansas, including Topeka, Kansas City and Manhattan. The ensemble also traveled to Nebraska for an exchange concert when the K-State football team played Nebraska. If the game is here, then Nebraska ' s Men ' s Glee performs with us at McCain, Gatterman said. If the game is in Nebraska, then we sing there. The group planned on improving its ensemble by making the campus more conscious of performance dates and times, as well as its acceptance of most voices into its sinall group. Jerrv doesn ' t usuallv turn clown anv voice, Vining said. All that the group expects is that the he isn ' t tone deaf and puts effort into his singing. alpha kappa psl E i N ' ' r r MB J A ' - f I k 1 Front row: Brian Niehoff, Kari Poulain, Jill Sherman, Alicia Horvath, Edelis Ocasio, Rachel Fields.

Autocross pitted drivers ' times through a pre-set course against the times of other competitors. We have a lot of people who do Autocross, Dallas Hinman, senior in mass communications, said. It ' s basically road racing in a parking lot. It ' s more about the dri er than it is about the car as far as Autocross goes. Cars participating in Autocross events were placed in different classes, including muscle cars or fast, sports cars. The best part about (Autocross) is the fact that I can actually do it, said Clifford Utermoehlen, senior in horticulture and club president. It ' s legal and it ' s the most fun ) ' ou could exer have. You learn a lot about your driving skills. Beyond the Autocross and drag racing competi- tions, Utermoehlen also said members of the club got along well. That ' s the best part of the club — being able to hang out with everyone who has a common interest, alphit zcra tltural fn Club members show off skills behind the wheel he said. Everybody had a common interest. You can always talk about one thing. Hinman said he joined the club more than four years ago after another member approached him while he was washing his car. Basically, I went to a meeting and tried Autocross- ing, Hinman said. I did it once and had to do it again. He also said the club offered people a way to show off their cars without resorting to illegal methods. We organize events for (members) so that way, they don ' t have to do street racing, Hinman said. We teach people how to race legally. We do have dues, but it ' s cheap. It ' s a real fun group, real laid back, but at the same time vou get a sense of competition, too, with the other people in the club. Matthew Czugala, junior in computer engineering, said he joined to find people who enjoved racing as much as he did. It ' s a bunch of people your own age who enjoy cars just as much as you do, Czugala said. If you ever need help working on your car, there ' s just a bunch of people to help. amcriain socictN of agrictiltural cng:inccrina: Front row: Larry Erpelding, Heather Williams, Lauren Smith, Carol Corbin, Michael Von Weihe, Audrey Vail, Nicole Young, Annie Whitehill.

I ' anons 1 genuine community continued from page 158 As sTieeters took their places at 7:45 p.m. on Thiirs- (la s in Forum Hall, the presence of God grew. When 8 p.m. came, the student alumni-run band took the stage and the constant chatter of the crowd broke into song. Within the next hour and a half, the campus reli- gious group, Christian Challenge, brought a renewed life into the K-State Student Union. When Bob Anderson, director and pioneer of Chal- lenge, started the group 37 years ago, he said he did not think the message would endure. He created Challenge to dare students to worship Cod with joy and passion and to pursue a daily inti- macy and live according to His word. Anderson also said he wanted to build Christ-centered friendships that impacted lives. In the beginning, there was a small group of wor- shippers, which has grown to more than 500 students, faculty and aliunni. Many of the speakers and worship leaders graduated froin K-State and came back to help with Challenge. The fact that our speakers are old students and Challenge members is awesome, Lynelle Penner, jimior in food and nutrition-exercise science, said. They bring experience and that is important, they can relate to us. h is also neat to see someone go through what we have and how God plays a part in their life now. Many students who went to Challenge were still trying to find their place with God. To help with this. bakcr science Aa, mi. r ri §m i u With his hand over his heart, Alex Lovely, senior in family studies and human services, stands in worship with fellow followers. Challenge brought in approximately 500 people a week and kept the aisles full. Photo by Chris Hanewinckel groups and mission trips were set up throughoiU the year. One of the most popidar assemblies, L.I.F.E. group, teamed people to study the Bible and act like a support group. There were also mission trips to Mexico, China, and cities around the U.S. that took place during school breaks and summer. Beyond spreading the Word, Challenge strove to help its own members as well. The experiences I have here have challenged me a little bit, Samuel Vanbuskirk, freshman in open- option, said. It brings up new aspects of my faith and encourages me to make my walk stronger. In worship, leaders used modern materials like the Lord of the Rings, the Passion of the Christ and family movies to tie in hard-to-learn messages with college life. Many of the messages included personal reflection. They hit on topics such as letting go, obedience and faith. Students were free to interpret the messages in any way they pleased and if questions arose, they con- tacted a worship leader, Anderson said. Penner said that the heart of Thursdays kept many students going imtil the doors of Forum Hall opened again to let God and His challenge in. I don ' t think I would be the person I am today without Challenge, Penner said. God has brought me closer to Him through this experience. God has been faithful and He deserves all the glory. bcginninga Front row: Ken McCarty, Eryn Forbes, Annie Whitehill, Kristin Mueller, Sa- mantha Milligan. Back row: Mil e Brouk,Josh M.

Jb. oi-ganiyation.s activists protect wildlifi Students learnl research skillsl through deer project! m In recent years, the Kansas deer population increased, but the K-State Wildlife Society made an effort to preserve deer on the Konza Prairie Research Natural Area. Still covered by the dark- ness of night, members checked their traps in hopes of finding deer they could tag for research purposes. Since the tagging began in January 2003, Ls ' deer had been tagged with the help of a trap donated by the University of Missouri-Columbia. They also used tagging supplies donated by the Kansas Department of Wildlife and Parks. Along with the donated supplies, four morf clover traps, made of alimiiniur tubing and netting, were built. When members arrived at a trapped deer, they pinned the deer down with the trap and rendered it immobile, blind- folded the deer to reduce stress levels, tagged the ear and let the deer go. Phil Brinkley, senior in fisheries and wildlife biology, said although there was always a chance of injury when handling ar animal, a low niunber of people used the clover trap to hiu t the animal. initially, when the door closes, the deer will struggle for approximately two minutes, Tony Mong, graduate student in if biology, said. Then they will calm down, finish the corn, and usually lay down. We ha ' e come up t(} traps where a group of deer are lying down aroimd it. This would indicate that the deer is not frightening am of the other deer. The group started the research project The tagging gun used to fag the deer is the same one used with cattle. The Wildlife Society used yellow fags for female deer and blue for the males. The back of the tags had informa- tion on where to send the tag if a hunter kills the deer. The club members kept a log recording when each deer was tagged with a number. They also kept frock of deer they sow to frock their movement. Photo by Cotrino Rowson to determine how many deer lived on the Konza Prairie. The numbers were needed because of the deer ' s effects on vegetation, as well as general research. Since the prairie had 60 different experimental luiits, main- taining the integrity of the site was crucial. The K-State Division of Biology controlled the prairie. The society used that connec- tion not only to make a difference locally, but also to prepare club I members for the fiuure. The group was one of only 15 to 20 student wildlife societies, oiU of 70 or 80 that performed research, Mong said. The founder of the project, Mong passed along his knowledge and experience to other club members. It gets all of us undergrads a lot of experience with handling animals and research, Tanner Dixson, jimior in fisheries and wile life biology, said. It gets us field experience.

As a club that lost its drive three years ago, the Paintball Club regained its force. The past club president did not have time to run it, Darran McEuen, sophomore in electrical engineering, said. He asked if I wanted to take it over, so I called some people and threw it together. In the past year alone, more than eight million people around the world picked up a paintball gun to attempt the growing sport, McEuen said. The drive of new members and rising popularity brought K-State a group of 10 members. Some said they enrolled at K-State was because of the affilia- tion it had with paintball. Josh Gann, junior in computer engineer- ing, said when he was choosing a college, he looked for a school that had some kind of club. Funding issues held the club and members back. On average, one tournament took $450 out of a team ' s pocket. There was a $125-entrance fee for each tournament, and a case of 2,000 paint- balls ranged from $40 to $70. This year, the team received $1,000 from the Student Govern- ing Association. The money was used to help take the club to two tournaments. The reason the club did not get funding was because of a mixup in the paperwork, said Matt Songs, vice president and senior in mechanical engineering. We were lucky and got the leftover this year, but we should hopefully get more next year. The club attended the Iowa State and 5in tournament. The team did not place in the Iowa State tourney, but received third in the Kansas 5in championship. continued on page 166 64 On the morning of Oct. 10, Gavin Anderson, K-State alumnus, fires a paintball at members of ttie opposing team.

Wise Cats is the fifth organization in the history of K-State to focus on students who were married, parents, older than 25 or returning to college after an absence of several years from the education system. There is a lack of communication between the uni- versity and non-traditional students, said Chris Bluiett, president and junior in hotel restaurant management. We help in giving communication to all non-tradi- tional students who somehow miss out because they don ' t live on campus or work different hours and have responsibilities that don ' t allow them to be on campus as much as the traditional student can be. The group started with 14 students in the fall semes- ter, but Bluiett said it was growing fast as more students became aware of the opportunity for involvement. Wise Cats vice president and junior in engineering Tom Leaf said he benefited from meeting other non- traditional students. I ' ve made friendships with people who I wouldn ' t normally ever meet or talk to, he said. The club gives non-traditional students an opportunity to get together and have a social group or studv group made up of students like them. Leaf said there were so many groups for traditional students to join, and although non-traditional students could join those groups, he woidd feel out of place. The need for these students to be a part of this community at K-State is great, Bluiett said. We have social events to give these students opportunities to get to know other students who are in the same situations block and as them. We want to bring students in the non-tradi- tional frame together to share ideals, interact socially, create networking and learn how to be involved in extra-curricular activities. Nancy Bolsen, director of Adult Student Services, said past groups have centered on relevant issues like child care. According to the Office of Adult Student Services, non-traditional students accounted for 17.1 percent of the student population in the fall. Bluiett said finding those students was difficult because the factors attrib- uted as non-traditional were not asked in the applica- tion process. Bolsen helped Bluiett compile an e-mail list of non-traditional students for an information listserv. Wise Cats also provided activities when non-tra- ditional students were more likely to attend. The organization started a lecture series featuring Frank Tracz, director of bands, as the first speaker. Wise Cats planned to feature one speaker each semester. Other events included tailgating, bake sales and a community service project in the spring. Bluiett also planned an organizations carnival simi- lar to the fall expo sponsored by the Office of Student Activities and Services. He said the carnival woidd spe- cifically target non-traditional students so they could become involved. I want to make sure they know what ' s going on at K-State so they can be a part of the clubs and organiza- tions and have the same rights as (traditional) stu- dents, Bluiett said. We ' re making sure the person is getting the most out of K-State. blue kc Front row: Christine Soukup, Melinda Tebow, Bonnie Baumbach, Kristy Wempe, R. Scott Beyer.

It ' s not a club that ' s oriented and focused on ha ing fun, Misak said. Members get to know other people. It gives them a chance to connect on a personal level with the dentists. Community professionals often spoke at club meetings and described aspects of their job or fielded questions. Basically, our club acts as a support group for pre-dental students, Danielle Ternes, club president and senior in biology, said. We like to learn a lot more about dentistry and ways to get in olved. Attempting a new approach in the fall, Ternes said older mem- bers took on a mentoring role for the younger members. Mentoring is a good opportunity to share your experience both from K-State and from the application process to dental schools, Ternes said. It ' s just a program we started this year. It ' s a great program overall. As a new member, Jen na McGovern, sophomore in biology, had an older member guide her and answer any questions that arose. Ternes was McGovern ' s mentor. These girls are older than you and a step ahead of vou — they know what it takes, McGovern said. Ternes wasjust giving me her inside information — what to do, how to dress. It ' s a very hectic time applying. It ' s just helpful to know you have someone there who knows what you ' re going through. The club also participated in the Kansas Mission of Mercy pro- gram where members learned and practiced dental assisting skills. It ' s going to allow us to take a group of students to Salina, Misak said. I ' ve had assisting experience, so I am excited to help with it. One of the other functions of the club assisted students with applications to dental school. The club ' s Web site encouraged students to participate in a bachelor ' s degree program and take the Dental Admission Test before being allowed into a dental school. Without this club, Misak said, I probably wouldn ' t be where I am toda -. pieidcntaliMi rr 2005 DVD Want More? P More story on ttie DVD located in ttie back of the yearbook.

No one batted an eye when some- one got hit. It was enough to give former elementary school losers flashbacks. No matter where one belonged in the old grade school gvm class food chain, the K-State Dodgeball Club welcomed them all. The club, founded in March 2004, invited anyone interested in dodgeball to its Tuesday night games and meetings. It ' s a sport where everybody has some experience playing, Peter D. Morris, club president and foimder, said. A lot of people who played dodgeball enjoyed it immensely, but it was underrepresented by modern cultiue. Morris, senior in microbiology, was inspired to start the club by the movie Rushmore, in which the main character created more than 30 clubs at his high school. Morris and others spread the word about the club early in the semester, and 100 people attended the first meeting. Morris was pleasantly surprised with the large turn- out, and membership stayed high all semester, he said. Although women made up only 25 percent of play- ers on a given night, Morris said it was important to keep the club co-ed. I think everybody likes it co-ed better, Morris said. There are a lot of girls who really enjoy coming out college republicans H B Bhf l 1 R-n- ' v -- Bm k Hoftf ja TT KM yf ' Bb I k ' Hri ifl m mml Front row: Colin Crume, Ben T.

To retain the female membership, Morris said the club created new rules to encourage female partici- pation. Usually, when a thrown ball was caught, the person who threw it was out, but Morris changed that rule to benefit female players. If you catch a girl ' s ball, neither of you are out, Morris said. A lot of the girls ' outs came from easy catches, so numbers on girls got low for awhile. We were wondering if the boys were being too competitive, so we thought that would be a good way to keep the dodgeball club co-ed. Ashley Markham, 2001 K-State alumna, said she preferred playing with the new rules. It ' s a little easier for the girls, Markham said. Sometimes, we can just stay behind the guys to avoid getting hit. Some dodgeball players viewed the Tuesday night games as a break from their busy schedules. It ' s a big stress-reliever, Adam Waggoner, senior in sociology, said. It ' s a good way to kill a couple of hours, and it ' s something to take my mind off things. Above all, Morris said he wanted the players to enjoy themselves and the game. It ' s really fun, Morris said. Sometimes people will throw three balls at you and you ' ll dodge all three of them, and you ' ll feel like the greatest athlete alive for five seconds. collegian Lid crti.si n sales staff Front row: Sarah Heeke, G.

Photo by Chris Hanewinckel by AlexYocum aves team ends on high ground with strong bonds Behind Tuttle Creek Dam and Reservoir, at Stockdale, sights and sounds of the Water Ski Chib resonated. The chib began in 1983. The team made its mark at Nationals in 2001, and 2004 marked its fourth appear- ance. Blake Zogleman, junior in marketing, said the club consisted of two teams: competitive and beginners. The competitive team was broken into smaller groups for the competitions: men ' s and women ' s slalom, trick and jump. The decision to compete was made by the indi- vidual. The club did not require members to compete since their reasons for joining differed. I joined because I was looking for the competitive outlook, Zogleman said. Some people join to meet new people, and others do it to get involved with some- thing on campus. One addition to the team ' s equipment was the refurbished ramp. Located in Stockdale, the ramp staved up all season so members could practice when- ever they pleased. We have had the jump since the club started, Brian Bajaj, sophomore in civil engineering, said. It needed a facelift. We want to take care of it because it ' s our baby. The team used boats from its members and alumni for practice, which took place whenever members felt the need. This year, the team took second at the Great Plains Conference, fourth at the Midwest Regional and second at Nationals. Julie Voss, senior in marketing and club president, said the dedication of the team and team dynamics helped in the long run. Voss also said the team did not ski up to its full potential and that although this year was an improve- ment, she can see struggles in the years to come, due to graduating members. When the boats docked at the end of the season, members left Stockdale with strong friendships and the love of a sport. I will miss the people and the team aspect, Voss said, h is not so much about the skiing but the people and the experiences you make while doing it.

Calvin also said Circle-K cleaned the Dmland Hall parking lot after every football game and during other events throughout the year.

Daniels said her motive behind joining Circle-K went back to the enjoyment of performing commimity service and her desire to help form the future of her commimity.

That was before he earned the high- est score on the Graduation Equivalency Degree in his hometown of Garden City, Kan., and earned admission to K-State. After being diagnosed with epilepsy his freshman year of high school, Anthony Garcia, sophomore in open-option, faced debili- tating seizines cidminating in a complicated brain surgery as a last chance effort to give him more control over the disease that had forced him to leave high school and study to earn his GED. My doctors said I would never be able to go to college because of the memory loss that comes with this type of surgery, Garcia said. I guess I proved them wrong. Garcia was involved with enough student organizations to clutter any day-planner. He was the Multicultural Affairs director, Hispanic American Leadership Organization PR director, Kansas College Unity Coalition Liaison for the Queer Straight Alliaiice, representative for the Associations of Residence Halls and on the executive board of Moore Hall. It is challenging to balance with school, he said. I have to spread myself thin and balance academics with activities. Garcia ' s roommate saw firsthand how difficidt it was to deal with all of the responsibilities and time management that was required of him. He has a tendency to assimie responsibility even for things that he is not responsible for, Dan Stahl, junior in English, said. Garcia believed the overwhelming number of meetings that proliferated his time was all for a very good purpose. The first thing I wanted to be involved with was HALO, Garcia said. Then I saw other organizations lacking in support and I wanted to help. The determination and drive seen in Garcia ' s tendency to continuously add projects and organizations translated into his development as a leader. He is such a caring person, said Leigh Fine, senior in chemi- cal science and president of QSA. He has such a giving spirit. He leads by empowering others. Since he became involved in QSA during the fall of his fresh- man year, Garcia has taken on more responsibility and acted as an officer for the organization. He expressed real passion to connect with people across Kansas and ran with it, Fine said. He is the KCUC liaison and is doing a wonderful job. Garcia, according to his friends, has grown in his time at K- State. When (freshmen) show up they think they know what life has in store, but they learn so much, Fine said. Anthony has learned so much about himself He learned about his strengths and abili- ties that he never realized he had and he has been able to stand up to insurmountable odds. The rest of Garcia ' s time at K-S tate will be occupied by contin- ued involvement in student organizations and working towards earning a bachelor ' s in public relations and ethnic studies. I love all different facets of education, he said. But my goal is to say I did make a difference. 77J urganizaiiQns sc .- - «► N Discussing a pos- sible resolution that might get passed, Tenisha Pettus, senior in psychology, talks with Anthony Garcia, sophomore in open- option, during a Stu- dent Senate meeting, Nov. 18.

Ptioto by Lindsey Bauman T u n n e l p rogram strives to expand diversity awareness Rooms normally used for meetings and banquets were transformed into a maze of hatred, graphic videos, pictures and depressed actors. As students walked through the Tunnel of Oppression, April 15, 2004, counselors handed out a brochure warning of the graphic events they were about to encounter. In an attempt to inform the campus about diversity, the Association of Residence Halls, K-State Diversity Programming Committee, the Department of Hous- ing and Dining Multicultural Assistants and Queer Straight Alliance sponsored The Tunnel of Oppression. If they could make K-State more tolerate of diver- sity, they felt like they would have accomplished some- thing, Christopher Lydick, multicultural assistant for Moore Hall, said. I think in today ' s world we get complacent about minorities, friends, family and colleagues, Lydick, junior in computer engineering, said. With The Tunnel of Oppression, we ' re able to allow anybody to put themselves in other people ' s shoes. It helps elimi- nate some of the hate. Sarah Decke, leadership development coordinator, said the purpose of The Tunnel of Oppression was to have people walk away with their eyes more open than before. Most people, when they think of diversity, only think about race, Decke said. Acceptance is much kan dance bigger than that. Hate still exists today, whether one person is hating another or an individual is hating themselves. Lydick said the concept of the tiumel had been done all over the country, but this was the first year at K-State. Casey Dobbins, multicultural assistant for Ford Hall, said thev had help from other schools with the project. The Tunnel of Oppression is nothing you can take from somewhere else, Lydick said. We had to do a lot of adapting to the K-State population. The tunnel was on the second floor of the K-State Student Union in three rooms and consisted of seven sections: Words Hurt, Lynching, Disability Awareness, GLBTQ Awareness, Domestic Violence, Women in the Media and the Holocaust. The tiuinel ' s first section. Words Hurt, had recordings of voices shouting profan- ity and hate words. In Women in the Media, actors pretended to have eating disorders and be victims of domestic abuse. The Holocaust, the last section, dis- played graphic pictures of concentration camps and a video of Adolph Hitler. Hate is alive and well, Dobbins, senior in animal science and indtistry, said.

Rachel Olds, president of College Republicans and junior in political science, said the group sponsored on-campus registration drives on four different days prior to the election with over 350 registered voters. Both parties hosted voter registration drives, participated in literatiuc drops and voliuiteered at the Riley Comity Republican and Democratic party headquarters. Olds said voter registration drives worked to increase political participation regardless of party affiliation. Along with voter registration drives, the Young Democrats walked in parades and dropped off literature packets throughout Manhattan. We just want to make sure people are educated about their decisions come Election Day, said Ben Fenwick, member of Yoiuig Democrats and senior in political science. The more people know about current issues, the better off we all are. As Election Day drew near, both parties grew anxious. Both parties volunteered at the Riley County Republican and Democratic headquarters, calling people to make sure they voted and offered rides to those who couldn ' t drive to the polls. After we worked at polling places, we finally relaxed, April Chancellor, acting president of Young Democrats, said. We had a party at Kite ' s (Bar and Grill) with the county party and watched as the results came in. Although Young Democrats grew disappointed as the evening went on, the local elections kept their morale high. We were all pretty disappointed, Chancellor, senior in park management and conservation, said. It gave us something else to work on. With nationwide predictions for the elections close between President George W. Bush and Sen. John Kerry, members of both campus parties became nervous prior to the election, Nov. 2. Results came early the next day after Kerry conceded. The Bush administration held on for another four years. Personally, I expected these outcomes, Olds said. I wasn ' t as sure about President Bush. The Republicans lost locally but coidd have flipped after provisional ballots were counted. Overall, College Republicans were pleased with the presidential elections and Yoinig Democrats with the local elections; however, both looked for improvements in the future. I think if we work toward more members, we can improve, Chancellor said. We need more people in -olved doing more in the community next time. The College Republicans also looked to improve membership and expand their club. We ' re always wanting to recruit, Olds said. We haven ' t talked much about getting more people, but we plan on chalking and improving membership by word of mouth.

The qualce triggered a tsunami that carved a path of destruc- tion over a period of seven hours. Many coastal areas had almost no warning of the approaching tsunami. The known death toll was 12,000. Dec. 28. 2004 With so many dead, hospitals and mortuaries were unable to cope. As the waves hit, families were split. The known death toll was 50,000. Jan. 2. 2005 United Nations relief coor- dinator Jan Egeland said more than 150,000 people died but the full death toll would probably never be known. In Indonesia, offi- cials stopped counting the number of corpses found. Jan. 6. 2005 World leaders met in Indo- nesia to discuss how to get aid to the millions of people affected. They agreed to build an early warning system in the Indian Ocean to guard against future disasters. Jan. 12. 2005 The last reported dea th toll was 212,000. Source BBC News is U tOymyi relief effort by Lindsay Porter Thf tsunami, which caused devastation in 13 south Asian and . fi ican countries Dec. 26, did not directly affect K-State students. While many may not have known of Sumatra or Sri Lanka before hearing news of the tsunami, for 300 students the disaster hit closer to home — literally. The India Students Association and Thai Student Association joined forces to raise money to aid the relief and rehabilita- tion efforts in their native countries. fan. 13-21, the groups showcased a table in the K-State Student Union displaying green ribbons and south Asian artifacts. The ribbons are not expensive, said Vaowaluk Chanbang, Thai Student Associa- tion president and graduate student in ento- mology. I think everyone wants to help, but as students we don ' t have much money. The ribbons were sold for $2, but many students slipped $5 and $10 bills in the white donation box. Because the two groups did not have a common symbol, a label reading support tsunami survivors was affixed to each ribbon. Sham Kashyap, India Students Asso- ciation president and graduate student in computer science, said the groups chose the fund-raiser as a way to spread the message and financially help the relief efforts. Kashyap first learned about the tsunami online a few hours after it hit. The death toll was already 2,000, he said. At that time, I didn ' t realize it was a calamity of that nature. I started thinking about how we can help. Kashyap said he first thought about collecting clothing or non-perishable food, but relief organizations were not accepting donated items because of transportation and distribution difficul- ties. Through e-mail and telephone calls, south Asian students at K-State learned their families and friends at home were not directly involved in the tsunami destruction. The India Students Association and Thai Student Association sold 250 hand-made ribbons during their effort to raise funds for tsunami relief. They collected $2,100 for relief efforts.

Tlie chib became an outlet for dance majors and minors to talk and produce dance pieces. We talk about the shows and the classes we are in, Amanda Slead, senior in theater and KanDance president, said. We bring people in to talk about nutrition and fitness and dance work- shops. Throughout the year, KanDance helped the dance program with Spring and Winter dances. Members also traveled to different dance festivals and hosted perspective K-State dancers. The High School Dance day took place Feb. 4. Throughout the day, students went to classes, toured campus and saw a perfor- mance by KanDance members, Saylor Burgess, sophomore in the- ater, said. They also performed for dance program scholarships. Beyond teaching younger dancers, the group traveled to the Kansas Dance Festival and the American College Dance Festival. To help with travel expenses, the group had fiuid-raisers, Slead said, and the money raised went into the department and was transfered to the KanDancers. continued on page 189 During rehearsals for Spring Dance in McCain Auditorium, Hayley Cherveny, senior in psychology, Whitney Boomer, Amy Hurrelbrink, Laura Parkhurst, all seniors in theater, and Lacey Beamon, junior in medical technology, perform a dance titled Done.

We want to show how much work we put in and show that the organization brings friendships and arts to the community. The group had 28 members, an improvement from past years, but it was still considered small because of the size of the dance program, Slead said. Because it ' s such a small group and we are there for the love of dance; it is more of a family, Gabby Hiniter, senior in theater and club treasurer, said. It also gives us a place to go if we feel stressed. Through KanDance, we hope people have someone to talk to and dance with. For the Winter and Spring dances, members were in charge of advertising, posters and made and wore t-shirts, Hunter said. In addition to creating promotional material for the shows, members of KanDance and their advis- ers performed and choreographed pieces. They used different forms of dance such as tap, jazz, ballet and 3B a ' ' W-!it modern to give all members of the audience some- thing they might enjoy. I think people need art, Slead said. They don ' t get to do things like this every day and for those who have, they might be able to see something complex and new to them. Shows took place in McCain Auditoriimi and Nichols Hall at 7 p.m. Thursday through Saturday nights. The audience loves it, Slead said. They are amazed that students who sit in desks all day can come up with this kind of stuff By the end of the year, shows were being discussed for future semesters and the new dancers started the planning process. Many had been dancing for several years and wanted to extend their love of the dance. Burgess said. I have to dance, Slead said. It is my time to show who I am and what I can do. I dance to let out aggres- sion and to show my happiness. I can be myself and I can shape what I do. Throughout the day, Amanda Slead, junior in theater, Instructed classes for a high school dance day, Feb. 4. Slead taught a lyrical jazz number and later performed for the dancers. I like all kinds of dance, Gabby Hunter, senior in theater, said. If I am having a bad day, I pick a style and get out on stage. It ' s nice to see what you have been working on in the end.

The Union Program- ming Council brought in three poets from HBO ' s Rus- sell Simmons Presents Def Poetry to help kick off the week. Sandy Burnett, senior in political science, said these types of events were popular attractions for students and brought in a large crowd. The show was put on by UPC ' s Multicultural Com- mittee, which also sponsored Festival of Nations and International Week. The committee also brought per- formers such as Taylor Mali to entertain a large group of students. Burnett said many e ents put on by UPC were free, so more people could come to the events. Usually, we ha ' e something going on, a lectiue from celebrities like Danny Glover, said Lynn Brickley, graduate student in counseling and student develop- ment. Beyond big events like that, we have not done things based on social issues. We want something that draws in an audience, covers social issues but is also creati ' e and fim. The show, which was supposed to begin at 7 p.m., consisted of three poets: Poetri, Bassey and Rives. However, the show started 30 minutes late because of misdirections. It was crazy, Poetri said. We got lost for an hour and a half in the Kansas fields. We saw nothing but were multicultiifal business surprised when we arrived because the audience was still warm. The three poets performed at different schools throughout the nation and referred to one another as The Heavy Black Man (Poetri), Nigerian Girl (Bassey) and The White Guy (Rives). The three took turns performing, as well as recit- ing original pieces about everyday life, experiences and themselves. Poetri talked about Krispy Kreme doughnuts and how he loved to hate them and about a fine woman who turned out to be a man. Bassey talked about who she was and what made her who she was, tying in her own perception of herself in with others thoughts. Poetri said it was nice to perforru with other poets because he was able to feed off other performers. Beyond stage interaction, airdience members were brought onstage and received prizes. To interact with people from different schools, races and backgrounds, it ' s a joy, Poetri said. It ' s the new experience and the memories. I will always remember getting lost. At the end of the night, the poets left the stage and were rewarded with praise from the audience and one another. I was very pleased with both the performers and the audience, Brickley said. I thought it was an overall suc- cess, and we are able to take successes like this and bring more student-oriented programs. national fcsidcncc student associarion R ' . n M r ' «■ f , ft L Qu S to M r1 hall honor Front row: Thaddeus Murrell, Rachel Fields, Kristal White, Helai Ebadi.

Solar Car team members powered their car. Lindsay MacAdam, senior in mass communications, said designers hoped Paragon, their new solar-powered car, would be more energy efficient. Matt Dickson, president and senior in mechanical engineering, said it would be lighter, more aerodynamic and faster. . 11 around, it will be a better car, he said. We just want to keep improving and make the best car possible. Although the team was relatively yoimg, they still strove to be the best. Members gained respect from other universities because they never settled for mediocrity and they pushed the limits, he said. One thing about this team (is that) we make almost every- thing in house, said Ruth D. Miller, adviser for the club and associate professor of electrical and computer engineering. We design almost everything. This required a big commitment from the club members. Dick- son said the team put in 2,000-3,000 hours of design time in the last year and a half alone, and at least 1,500 hours for construction of the new car. Some people imderstand and others don ' t, but this is some- thing that you ' ll have one chance in yoin- life to do, he said. There are only a few select people in the world who have taken the opportimity to race across the U.S. or Australia in a solar-pow- ered car. That is what keeps me going. Other members also made sacrifices for their experience. I ' ve been in one race and the camaraderie of it is amazing, MacAdam said. Just getting to know all the people-on a differ- ent level, but I ' d never gone more than two days without taking a shower, and that was an interesting experience. continued on page 194 During the long hours members devoted to building Paragon, they used numerous tools. Construction would hove been nearly impossible without the equipment and safety gear. So far, we have gotten easily over $10,000 donated in goods and services, but we usually pay the shipping expenses, r att Dickson, senior In mechanical engineering, said. There is still much more to come, though. Photo by Drew Rose solar car yj Fast Facts: The method behind solar cars How does it worl ? The car is covered with solar cells. These collect solar energy and store it in the battery pack. The motor uses the power in the battery pack to run the car. Teams run into trouble when they use more energy than they are getting from the solar cells and they drain their battery pack. Most teams chose to reserve their bat- tery pack for the end or tor cloudy patches of the day. Cars of the Past: -Solution, built in 1995, was the club ' s first car. After two years of learning, the car was raced in 1997. -Apollo was built in 1997 and raced in 1999. -Catalyst was designed in 1999 and built in 2001. The team raced and maintained It from 2001 to 2004 when work began on Paragon. Building from the ground up, team members lay sheets of fiberglass on the bottom mold of the car. We enjoy being there and work- ing together, Matt Dickson, senior in mechanical engi- neering, said. It is an amazing experience. You will never get to do it again. Photo by Drew Rose power continued from page 193 Races typically lasted for several days and required endurance, skill and a reliable car. Keeping up with technology was a must for the team because of fierce competition. They traditionally built a new car every odd year. However, most of the team graduated in 2001, so they decided the best thing to do was improve their cur- rent car and save money to build the best car possible in 2005. The new car cost them as much as $300,000, but most was donated by companies in parts or paid for by grants which club members applied for themselves. The donated parts accounted foi more than 90 percent of the cost and the grants paid for less than 10 percent. Dickson said. Since the majority of members were engineering students, the club offered work experience in a fun, supportive environment. Watching these people think is great, Miller said. The solar car members are a group that are doing more engineering than I could hope to teach them, and they love it. The legacv of solar cars at K-State was one that kept the team fighting to be the best they could be. Ten years ago, a bunch of people got together and they built ; solar-powered race car, Dickson said. It ' s for those same reasons that we still do it today. i] 5 fy4 rgaiuzatioiiti Cloaked in protective gear, Craig Buckley, senior in computer engineering, spreads adtiesive around ttie strips of fiberglass on the bottom of the solar car.

Brit- tany Blattner, senior in psychology, said any Psi Chi member could participate in the rat training. The students are responsible for feeding and weighing their rat every day, Blattner said. If we see that someone is not upholding their responsibility, we don ' t allow them to con- tinue. Photo by Chris Hanewinckel by Kelli Pitman Though it seems an impossible feat, 12 psychology students trained seven rats to ascend a platform, cross a 10-foot tight-rope suspended foiu feet above the groinid and descend from the opposing platform. Psi Chi, the National Honor Society for psychology, steals the show every vear at Open House as students, adults and children crowd around to watch the rats. The tightrope-walking rats are always a huge success, Brittan ' Blattner, senior in ps ' chologTi ' , said. The demon- stration is veiy unique and many people are drawn to it. However, it was not just fun and games for Ms. Sassy and the other rats. The rats and their trainers spent at least an hour every day for a month on a strict diet and training regimen before the event. Beth Larrabe, senioi ' in ps ' chologv, said her rat, Mary, would compete in the course only when she was hungry. When Mary ' s hungry, she ' s motivated, Larrabe said. If she ' s full vou can ' t get her to do anything, Each rat had a imique personality, which added to the challenge of training them. The rats were trained using a backward-chaining method. The training began at the end of the coiuse, where the food was placed. The rats were progressivelv placed further back along the course } . luitil the) could begin at the starting position and make to the end, where their Cocoa Puff awaited them. Working with the rats offered psychology students a chance to see operant conditioning at work. We train the rats exclusively for Open House in ord to introduce people to an application of psvchologv that they probably have not thought of before, Blattner said. Jerome Frieman, professor of psychology, said the e ' ent began at Open House around 30 years ago when two of his students trained two rats to cross the tightrope for a class project, and said it has been a big hit ever sinco Frieman said the location of the rats was important because the number of people who stop to watch can block other exhibitors during Open House. ' Years ago, we were asked to shut down our demonstra- tion at the State Fair because other exhibitors vere upset th the rats were attracting all of the attention, Fiieman said. Elizabeth Cannon, junior in psychology, said she was excited to see a psychology concept come to life and see her rat, Cher, make her debut performance. I think Cher will do just fine, Cannon said. People might be a little weirded out by her name, bu after that I think it will awe some people. Mary hangs onto the rope in an attempt to not fall off. Blattner said some rats take longer to learn the procedure than others, but they almost always learn It in time for Open House. Students are usu- ally surprised by how quickly the rats pick it up.

A lot of instructors tdl their students that fhey ' ll never again appreciate life more than they will in 15 seconds. ' iid Justin Lowrey, senior in mechanical and nuclear engineerinij member of the Parachute Club. Members of the club, designed to bring together students and Manhattan residents with a love of skydiving, usuallvjiunped on the weekends when the weather was appropriate. Members and trained instructors also offered courses on how to prepare for a jump. The K-State chapter, the oldest collegiate club in the United States, according to its Web site, was formed in the mid-1960s. It operated its own dropzone in Wamego and owned its own plane, a Cessna 182, since 1999. The club used the plane for both regidar jumps and beginners ' courses. Lowrey said novices could make either a tandem or static line jump. In a tandem jump, the jumper attaches himself or herself to the instructor and makes the jiunp at 10,000 feet. A static line jump is performed solo at 3,500 feet. Lowrey said beginning jvunpers had little to fear about the sport, especially since they used plenty of safety equipment to ensure a smooth fall, including a mechanism that automatically deployed the parachute if it hadn ' t deployed at a certain altitude. page 200 V c rgaiuzatiQns Hanging 5,000 feef above the ground, Travis Genereux, Manhattan resident, and Adam Madison, senior in agricultural technology manage- ment, prepare to dive.

The club did ground train- ing for new members and then puts jumpers in harnesses to prac- tice climbing in and out of the plane. The training usually took more than eight hours. Photo by Lindsey Bauman sky high continued from page 198 All it took to get involved in the club was repetition of jumping to get one used to the thrill. Everyone thinks it ' s going to be an incredibly terrifying expe- rience, Lowrey said. You ' re always focusing on the small steps, and the next thing you know, you ' re flying through the air and vour parachute ' s already out. Lowrey said because of imcertainty, not many jumpers remem- ber their first jimip, but subsequent jumps were more memorable. They enjo) ' the second jump because they can remember everything, he said. Not man ' remember their first because it ' s a sensory o ' erload. Manhattan resident and club member Chris Armstrong said the feeling of falling from such a high altitude was intoxicating, and that the feeling bordered on indescribable. You can ' t try to explain love to someone who ' s never been in love, Anderson said. It ' s a very relaxing release from anvthing else vou do during the week. Eric Mielke, faculty ad iser for the Parachute Club, said he agreed, and that it takes a specific type of person to enjoy the sport. Fm an adventure-seeker. It ' s an integral part of my life, as far as it being a stress-reliever, Mielke said. If I ' ve had a hard week at work, I look forward to just going out and being free. Lowrey said although the group had 100 members, there always were some who participated in the training coiuse and jumped once but never returned again. We don ' t usually get that many who carry over to the next ear, he said. They just want to come out, jiunp once and get the T-shirt. But we have many who are dedicated to the sport. queer - straight Front row: Annie Gregory, Stephanie Hawkins, Christopher R. Conner, Niki Burns, Meredith IVl. Moore.

Jimmy Wu, senior in finance, organized the event with help froin other students on the International Culture Committee Board. Last year, I was taking 20 credit hours and plan- ning it, Wu said. I don ' t treat it as work. I like doing these things. I treat it as my relaxation method. The planning process was a seven-month imdertak- ing. The board began organizing in late September because of the high demand for space in the K-State Student Union and at All Faiths Chapel. We want to know that we have enough places on campus, Wu said. It ' s how spring semester goes. Everybody has everything going on. We start really early. Over the coiuse of the week, students were invited to participate in dance lessons, an international fash- ion show, lectures and a performance by a Paraguayan dance troupe, said Maria Beebe, staff assistant and programs coordinator for international programs. Demonstrating ttne art of belly dancing, Maya Zahira, instruc- tor, and Elizabetti S. Jotinson, junior in fine arts, dance a Middle Eastern dance at ttie International Talent Stiow. In my opinion, it is a way to show your techiniques in belly dancing, Johnson said. Belly dancing is an ancient dance and has roots in women ' s birthing and fertility rituals. Photo by Catrino Rawson .socictNof human resource management The international talent show is always the most popular, Beebe said. There were probably 300 to 350 people there. The event took place during the evening of April 23 at All Faiths Chapel. We need to find another place to have it, Wu said. There were too many people, and they had to sit in the aisles. Elizabeth S.Johnson, junior in fine arts, took part in the show, performing a belly dance with other stu- dents in her UFM class. (Maya Zahira) invited her students from her classes, Johnson said. Her advanced students did the more advanced numbers. We invited the Taiwanese girls to dance with us. After all the planning was completed and the events over, Wu said he was left with a continuing desire to learn and work with people from other cultures. I ' m taking intercultinal commimication just because the week inspired me so much, Wu said. I want to learn about the culture. We learn so much from each other like people ' s views from different parts of the world. I met some of my closest friends because of it. s( )eier ( )f pix )fessi( )nal hi p.inic engineers Front row: Lloyd Letcher Jr., Aubrie Koester, Jillian Albright, Chris Sperling.

Starting in the fall, registered student organizations coidd apply for free Pepsi products for campuswide events. If an event is open and free to all students or is benefiting the K-State or Manhattan community, organizations are eligible for free Pepsi, said Tyson Moore, Campus Activities Board chair and junior in information .systems. In 1999, when Pepsi appropriated the vending machine con- tract, it guaranteed to donate $12 million during the 10 years of the contract. Five million dollars was endowed to Hale Library, $2.3 million went toward scholarships and the remaining funds were donated annually in at least $20,000 of free products to the Department of Intercollegiate Athletics, the Department of Hous- ing and Dining and student activities. Funding for the free products came from sponsorship revenue and sales commissions. Spring 2004, the free product designees met to re-evaluate the distribution. As a result of the meeting, the Campus Activities Board was allocated $5,000 in free eight-oimce cans of Pepsi, Diet Pepsi and Mountain Dew to distribute. To notify student organiza- tions about the offer, the Office of Student Activities and Services contacted organization presidents through a listserv. During the opening semester, 10 organizations were approved for free Pepsi, receiving a total of 140, 24-can cases of Pepsi prod- ucts. The largest donation went to Pi Omega Pi, a business educa- tion club, for its fall fiuid-raiser. We saw it as a chance to get free pop to give away to draw people in, said Tara Upson, Pi Omega Pi president and senior in business education. I filled out the applications not thinking we would get it, but we did. American Society of Interior Designers President Sarah Geer said the organization saved money for its Interior Design Sympo- sium Oct. 29 by using the free Pepsi. It shows that they are willing to give students a chance, Geer, senior in interior design, said. Since we are a Pepsi campus and buy a lot, they are rewarding us by giving some to students free. tudcnt association .- 04 Front row: Jenna Huston, Jenn Lair, Whitney Coen, Matt King, Lindsey Small, Emily Bes ler, KristyTredway.

Photo by Drew Rose union programming; counci livestock show ColiLililiCU iiOiii pSgC 206 The show .started in 2003, Ashley Breiner said, when there was interest around Weber Hall to start a livestock show. Alpha Gamma Rho and Block and Bridle had enough interest and many of iis knew how to run a show, Breiner, senior in animal sciences and industry, said. There were also a lot of people who wanted to learn and be involved. In the College of Agriculture everyone wants to be involved. Bill Pope, senior in animal sciences and industry, said the show also started because other Alpha Gamma Rho chapters across the country put on a livestock show and the groups wanted to help the luiixersity with recruiting. It ' s a good project to get our name out there, he said. There are people who come from Oklahoma, Missouri and other states. We thought it was a good way to get our name oiu. While K-State students spread saw dust, set up scales and prepared for check-in, exhibitors were fitting cattle by clipping, washing and blow drying the animals to prepare for the showmanship competition. Some students helped organize and com- peted. Ryan Eberth, sophomore in animal sciences and industry, showed his Maine- Anjou cattle and assisted with the show. You gain responsibility and leader- ship, he said. You have to divide vour time and learn to manage time. You also develop people skills because you talk to people. With more than 100 head of cattle and 60 exhibitors from ages seven to 22, the Kick-Off Show judged cattle in junior, inter- mediate and senior shows and for excel- lence in age divisions. Supreme Champions in Steer and Heifer categories received a $1,000 savings bond. Alpha Gamma Rho and Block and Bridle organized every part of the show from fund-raising and marketing to recruiting judges. All the money raised goes back to the exhibitors after the show in prizes, scholarships or savings bonds, Breiner said. We try to keep our budget at $10,000. The group started fund-raising and searching forjudges in October. Entry forms were delivered in December and due Feb. 5, the Friday before the show. It turns out to be a good weekend, Breiner said. Block and Bridle has strong memberships numbers and Alpha Gamma Rho is well-known. Both groups work well together. united bkickxoicc:- van .20S Front row: Sandra Burnett, Lynn Brickley, Oppress Makhafula, Rebecca Butler, Krista Biddle.

Cross if country star Mathew Chesang drew upon his determination and resilience to bounce back from a car accident that failed to keep him from gaining All-American accolades. The Lacrosse Club made strides with its top involvement in a regional lacrosse conference, all the while honoring their fallen brother, former coach Donnie Tillar III. The year solidified the talent and strength of athletes and offered a glimpse of their bright future. m The football team ' s 45-21 win against Nebraska at tiome was one of the few highlights of the 4-7 season.

We ' ve got something to build on. Photo by Tyler Price 2t s ports foiinH ti new by Levi Wolters Baseball gets a jump start with a new coach, a better reccrd Highlighted by the longest winning streak since 1912, the foimdation for a new era in K-State baseball history was set. After a successful nine-year stint at Central Mis- souri State University, where he compiled a 418-91 record, Brad Hill replaced 17-year veteran Mike Clark as head coach for the Wildcats. ' Tm not looking at three to four years down the road, Hill said, at his first press conference. I ' m not a patient guy. We want to get this thing turned around quicklv and move in the right direction and we want to be talking about the Big 12 Tournament next year, and we want to talk about moving in the upper echelon, and we want to talk about a lot of positive things. Positives were not hard to come by early in the season as the Cats knocked off No. 26 Ohio State in the Minute Maid Classic in Houston to begin the year, and won the foiu-team Centenary Gent Classic in Shreveport, La., three weeks later. Any time you can put strong wins together like that, confidence starts to build, Hill said. Confidence is a good thing if you have preparation. The Cats won their next six games before falling to No. 9 Wichita State in 16 innings, March 17. The 11- game winning streak was the second longest in school history and the longest since the 1911 and 1912 teams combined to win 14 in a row. Coach Hill said the winning streak proved the play- ers were beginning to believe in his system. The kids are buying in, he said. They ' re playing hard and have made a nice foundation. They ' re going to make mistakes, but they are playing with a lot of confidence and have bought into what we ' re trying to do here. K-State opened the Big 12 Conference schedule by taking the first two-of-three games from Missouri and earned a No. 30 ranking in the National Collegiate Baseball Writers Association poll. Little did Hill and the Cats know, the March 26 victory over the Tigers would be their last Big 12 win luitil May 2. The Cats were swept by No. 17 Nebraska to open up the month of April, but rebounded with a 7-0 win over non-conference foe Creighton. They then welcomed No. 1 Texas to Manhattan for what would go down as one of the most memorable games in school history. The Cats and Longhorns began a 20-inning mara- thon, just after 7 p.m. on Friday, the game ended at 1:30 a.m. Saturday morning with a 10-6 Texas victory. Two NCAA batting records were set in what became the fifth-longest game in NCAA history. Senior catcher Josh Heinrich, who caught all 38 innings of the three-game Texas sweep, said it was a difficult loss to handle. Lm not tired as much as 1 guess I am disap- pointed, he said. We just fell short again — we just have to find a way to get over that hump against a good team like that. The loss proved to be a sign of things to come, as the Cats struggled to bounce back, losing the next nine of 11 games before upending Baylor 4-2, May 2. During the skid, K-State lost 15 straight Big 12 games. (The losing streak) has been a long stretch, Hill said. Hopefully, it will give the kids a feeling like the- weight has been lifted off their shoulders, and we ' ll go and be more competitive on the road. continued on page 230 baseball yj After forcing out Nebraska ' s Daniel Bruce during tlie April 3 game at Tointon Family Stadium, Ryan Saltzgaber gets ready to throw to first base.

Texas A M took the next two games of the series, abolishing any chance of K-State reaching Hill ' s goal of the Big 12 Tourna- ment in Arlington, Texas. Losses tend to wear you down even more, Hill said. (Base- ball) is such a positive mental game, h is hard to play when you don ' t have a tot of positive feedback coming your way. The Cats dropped their final three games of the season in the hands of Kansas, finishing the season with a 26-30 overall record and a 4-23 record in Big 12 play. Out of 35 players on the team, 21 wore the Wildcat uniform for the first time. Sophomore outfielder Steve Murphy became only the 10th K-State player, since the inception of the conference, to be named to the second team All-Big 12. Murphy led the Wildcats with a .338 average and 40 RBIs. Junior Terry Blimt also received league acco- lades, earning honorable mention. Senior pitchers Carlos Torres and Jared Brite were taken to the Major League Baseball Amature Draft in June. Torres led the Cats with six wins on the season, while Brite struck out 11 in just over nine innings. Torres and Brite marked the 53rcl and 54th K-State players in history to be taken in the draft. Entering the final weeks of the season, senior Zack Saunders, third baseman and catcher, said he coidd sense the change in attitude within the baseball program, and sensed the future in and around Tointon Family Stadium was a bright one. We ' ve been in all of our ballgames, for the most part, Saun- ders said. [The wins] reassure us that we are good enough, and we can play here. We can play with anybody we go out with. baseball Houston L 4-12 Buffalo W 7-2 Texas Tech 3-8 Ohio State W 12-6 Wichita State L 7-12 Texas Tech 0-3 Rice L 0-13 Wichita State L 1-3 Texas Tech 2-8 ■ Western Illinois W 9-5 Michigan State W 12-5 Sterling College W 12-1 H Western Illinois W 9-8 Michigan State W 8-5 Oklahoma State 4-12 B Western Illinois L 11-12 Michigan State W 13-3 Oklahoma State 2-4 ■ Lousiana-Monroe L 3-7 Missouri W 5-3 Oklahoma State 2-16 SMS W 3-2 Missouri w 6-4 Creighton 1-4 Eastern Illinois W 12-3 Missouri 0-12 Baylor 1-8 Friends W 7-2 Nebraska 0-8 Baylor 1-8 Centenary W n-9 Nebraska 0-4 Baylor W 4-2 H Lousianalech W 7-4 Nebraska 5-9 Oklahoma 6-21 ■ Alabama W 2-1 Creighton W 7-0 Oklahoma 3-11 Northern Colorado W 6-3 Texas 6-10 Oklahoma 3-12 Northern Colorado W 5-3 Texas 2-5 Buffalo W 11-8 Texas 1-4 Conference Record: 3-18 Buffalo W 10-6 Newman w 11-9 Overall Record: 23-25 ■ Z d ' J2U s ports K-State shortstop Eli Rumler leaps over Friends University ' s Brad Cline during ttie Wildcats ' 7-2 win, Marcti 2.

Each athlete attempted to reach personal goals but also worked as a team. The group of girls we had on the team were great, junior JaNelle Wright, said. We had a really good outdoor season overall last year. Wright also said the Big 12 Championships acted as a key point for her during the season. I think kind of the defining moment was the Big 12 (Champi- onships), Wright said. I knew I was doing the best for my team at that meet. During the Maynard Wildcat Combined Events, Wright par- ticipated in the women ' s heptathlon and finished in second place with 5,615 points — enough points to cross the NCAA automatic mark for qualification into the championships. At the NCAA Outdoor Championships, Wright placed eighth overall and was the first athlete from the track and field team to be named to Ail-American status for the outdoor season. She was only the second K-State athlete from the heptathlon to receive such honors. (It ' s) probably just the shock of me doing so well, she said. Just being so successful in (the heptathlon) stands out for me. Two others were also bestowed with Ail-American honors, senior Morgan High and junior Kyle Lancaster — who received the status for the third time. Lancaster said he had a rough start to his outdoor season. I struggled at the beginning of the outdoor season, Lan- caster said. I had an injury of the low back that took awhile to get figured out. continued on page 234 Front row: Laci Heller, Chandra Frost, Stefan le Murer Sarah James, Julie Burns, Megan McGreevy, Kelly Carlton, Blair Piute, Tina Todd,Trisha Culbertson, Samantha Murrillo, LaToya Banks, Monique Coleman Valeria Mendoza.

Personally, I would have rather won nationals or the Big 12 again rather than the Mid- west Regional meet, Lancaster said. I would trade those off. At the Baldy Castillo Invita- tional in Tempe, Aiiz., sopho- more middle distance runner Christian Smith ran the NCAA regional qualifying mark of 3 minutes 48.21 seconds in the men ' s 1500-meter dash with a time of 3:44.59. Smith crossed his second NCAA regional mark of the season in the men ' s 800-meter dash at the Miami Twilight meet in Coral Gables, Fla. He beat the mark of 1:50.62 by almost two seconds, coming in at 1:48.80 which qualified him in his second event for regional competition. I had a lot of disappointing races in the outdoor season, Smith said. I ended up chang- ing my main event to the 1500. The event switch paid off for Smith as he beat the NCAA aiuomatic mark for the 1500 with a time of 3:51.84. He went on to place 23rd at the NCAA Outdoor Championships. In July, Smith attended the Olympic track and field trials in Sac- ramento, Calif for a chance to run for the U.S. Olympic team in Athens, Greece. He fell short however, placing fifth in the first heat of the 800 semifinals; the top four from each of two heats qualified to move on. Smith finished 11th overall. (The Olympic trials were) really exciting because I had been looking forward to it for a long time, Smith said. I was pretty happy with the way I raced, but I think I could have done better. Assistant coach Rana Reider worked with sprints and relays. Pleased with how the outdoor season went, Reider said he hoped to see more progress. (I) hope to go beyond this past year, Reider said. I would like to see more people in the finals and have a stronger overall season. Brett Robben clears a hurdle during the men ' s 110-meter hurdles at the Ward Haylett Invitational, May 15.

The men ' s team finished 11th out of 15 teams. Sept 28, in the Mason Rudolph Championship. This was the best team since I have been here at K-Stafe, Ben Kern, junior, said. I thought we had a great chance as a team to reach nation- als, but A.J. did well. Photo by Chris hianewinclcel As they swung toward an NCAA championship opportunity, the men ' s golf team performed at their highest level ever, Coach Tim Norris said. (Overall, the team had) a great year last year, Norris said. If you went back through the records, we had our best year in K-State history. Though the season did not go as planned, Norris said a high- light was the Big 12 Tournament, April 26. Norris said he had a difficult time choosing the top five players for the Big 12 Tournament because there were 6 strong players vying for the spots. Senior A.J. Elgert, a 2003 Ail-American, competed for one. It was kind of ultra-competitive last year, Elgert said. Day in and day out, week in and week out, we were competing. I lost my spot because I wasn ' t playing well, but then (the team) played bad in a tournament and they reshuffled and I got to play for my spot. At the tournament, paired with Oklahoma State Iya and Texas, the team headed into the final round only H two shots back. The University of Oklahoma Sooners H passed K-State in the last round, leaving the Wildcats to finish in fourth place. Regardless of the finish, Norris said, I was proud of our team to be paired with teams of that caliber. Competing in the NCAA Central Region Tourna- ment, the Cats failed to qualify for the NCAA Champi- onship as a team. Although they did not qualify, Norris said the indi- vidual results were better than the team overall. I wish that we could have the last round of the NCAA regional back, Norris said. It was bittersweet that A.J. qualified as an indi- vidual. As he tied for 12th at the regional tournament, Elgert was the only Wildcat to move to the NCAA Championship, where he tied for 28th. It was very weird to take on an experience that only two other players had experienced, Elgert said. I felt nervous to represent K-State properly. Leading the team into the fall season, Norris said junior Ben Kern and senior Matt Van Cleave emerged as great players, and they were the two players the team leaned on most. I believe Matt and I played well last year and (Norris) had the most confidence in us, Kern said. Matt and I have to show the younger guys how to perform continuously. With only one third of the team back from the spring season, Norris said the environment was different with two new freshmen and a junior college transfer, all of whom played Division I golf for the first time. It is going to take some time, Norris said. We are not as deep as last year, but we will get better and be a much-improved team in the spring (2005). c golf Badger invitational 2nd Inverness intercoiiegiate Invitational 2nd Jim Colbert Invitational 3rd Nestle Pruina Classic 1st Duke Golf Classic 5th Matlock Collegiate Classic 5th General Jim Hackler Invitational 7th Stevinson Ranch Invitational 2nd Boilermaker Invitational 12th Kepler Intercollegiate 10th Big 12 Championship 4th NCAA Central Region 15th 1 NCAA Championship (Elgert) 28th I n 1 sports I Front row: Matt Van Cleave, Aaron Watkins, Ben Kern, A.J.

Since that time, Kristi Knight has built a program that posted two team wins for spring 2004 — the first in school history. It ' s hard to believe this is my 10th year, but it is, Knight said. It was fun to watch the program grow, to watch it becoine a pro- gram that has qualified for the post season. Although she said she fondly looked back on her decade as head of women ' s golf. Knight said there was always more to achieve. I am proud of where the program has gotten to, Knight said. I ' m not satisfied. You can ' t sit back and be satisfied. You just try to keep a positive attitude and you just keep pushing to find good players and good people. Even though many firsts dotted the season — the first team win in a playoff at the Texas A M Mo ' Morial and senior Christine Boucher winning Big 12 Player of the Year honors — Knight said the team had bigger expectations. Our residts weren ' t quite as good as we wanted them, she said. I ' m proud of oiu program. I think we have to remember this program has been very successful the last two-and-a-half years. There are going to be valleys here and there. We need to keep that in perspective and learn from it. Even though the team wanted to do better, sophomore Helene Robert said she had an improved individual game. I played better than last year, so I am pretty happy about this season, Robert said. It ' s not really where I want it to be, so I ha e to practice a lot, but it ' s coming there. Freshman Kali Quick joined the team at the beginning of the fall season and said she accomplished what she set out to do. I just wanted to play basically the best golf I could play and be happy with my season, Quick said. I am happy with it, but I still want to play better next season. At the Sunflower Invitational at Alvamar Golf and Coimtry Club in Lawrence, Quick finished fifth in individual standings, her best collegiate career finish. As a team, the Cats also finished fifth. It was pretty good for my first season of college golf, Quick said. I had some trouble with my driver in the middle of the season. Just adjusting to being away from home was the biggest challenge of anything. Robert said she looked forward to the spring season as it showed promise. There ' s a lot of talent on this team and I don ' t think we ' ve really shown that this semester, Robert said. I ' m pretty sure we ' re going to come back strong this spring semester.

The team lost the match 2-5 and finished the season with a 5-15 overall record and a 1 - 10 Big 12 Conference record. We felt we didn ' t have the talent that we should have, senior Hayley Mclver said. We still did pretty good consid- ering what we had. Photo by Kelly Glasscock J J!4- spoas Iv by Matt Gorney Lack of experience hinders team, affects performances in singles, doubles play Judging by an overall record of 5-15 and 1-10 in the Big 12, the women ' s tennis team had a difficult spring on the court. Coach Steve Bietau said it was a disappointing season for the entire team, but there were bright spots. As a coach, Bietau said, I was pretty happy with the effort from all of our players. With the season ' s end came the end of two Wildcat careers. Seniors Hayley Mclver and Paulina Castillejos finished their K- State tenure at K-State ' s Big 12 Championship at the University of Oklahoma ' s Headington Family Tennis Center. Entering the tournament, the Cats, seeded 11th, suffered a 4-2 loss in the first round of the singles ' tournament at the hand of sixth-seeded Missouri. Castillejos, however, was able to edge out a win in her last outing against Missouri ' s Hana Kraftova in straight sets. I think (my favorite) was the Big 12 Championships in Okla- homa, Castillejos said. I lost to (Kraftova) two times, and then in the Big 12 Championships, my last tournament, 1 beat her. Even with a final mark in her win column, she said the season was still sonrewhat disappointing. We didn ' t do as good as the year before, Castillejos said. Even though I was disappointed with the residt, I think there were some really good improvements. continued on page 227 i I I During a doubles match against Iowa State, senior Maria Rosenberg returns the serve.

Senior Paulina Castillejos returns o ball in her match up on March 17, against a KU opponent. K-State lost the match 2-5, one of 15 total season losses. It was a disap- pointing season for us all, Coach Steve Bietau said. Photo by Kelly Glasscock sports help wanted continued from page 225 More players would lia e helped, Paidina C astllliejos said. Also, the reason we ended up ranked so low was, we needed UKire phuers, she said. We played the season with onlv six play- ers. My only concern was not having a complete team — more than six players — but everxthing worked fine with the coaches and the rest of the team. Coach Steve Bietaii said the munber of players was an issue that had been addressed. Our depth is improving, he said. It isn ' t where we want it to be et, but it asth improved over the summer. Although Hayley Mclver finished with a singles loss in straight sets to Yelena Olshanskaya of Missouri, she said it wasn ' t a match or tournament that stood out in her mind. Instead, the friendships she made highlighted her final season. I ' ve been on the team a long time, so I formed strong bonds w ith the coaches and players and staff, Mclver said. That was probably what stands out for me — ha ing those strong bonds. Moving into the fall season, the Cats returned four players from the spring and added three new faces. Junior Aveen Alkhatib said she felt good about the team ' s fall performance. We ' ve had some pretty good results, especially fiom the fresh- men, Alkhatib said. Everyone ' s been trying hard in practice and doing good in the tournament. It ' s pretty rewarding. Personally, she wanted to play better, Alkhatib said. I played all right, she said. I could ha e played better. I practice pretty tough, but I think I could have played better in the matches. Now, with her time in a piuple and white uniform concluded, Castillejos said she enjoyed her time at K-State. I think I grew as a person, she said. Some of my best results came this last season. I think my season was good because I beat play- ers I lost to in previous years, and now, in my last season, I beat them. I ' m really proud of being part of this team and graduating from K-State.

Photo by Catrina Rawson by Jennifer Newberry m Newberry , While the season ended on a somewhat sad note, both the EngHsh and western equestrian teams began their season with first-place finishes. Going into the spring, the English team performed perfectly at the Northwest Show, with a 49-point finish — the first time the team performed the feat. We have a number of young women who have done an out- standing job and really helped our team, Head Coach Teresa Slough said. They deserve recognition. At every show, we have had a high point reserve or high point rider. There ' s quite a few of them who are really doing a good job for us. Throughout the entire season, the team was burdened with the reminder that former head coach Lindsay Breidenthal was leavinsr. With Lindsay leaving, the western team probably wasn ' t prac- ticing as hard as some of the girls would have liked, Slough said. Things kind of fell apart for the western team at the end of the season. In their final show of the season, the English team continued their winning streak, with a first-place finish at Southern Illinois, giving the team an undefeated record for the season. That same day, senior Eng- lish rider Dehlia Burdan earned the Sportsmanship Award for Region 2, becoming the first K-State rider to receive the honor. That was just probably one of the most unexpected things, Burdan said. I will always take it with me and will always be proud of it. I couldn ' t have asked for a better surprise that day. It makes you better aware of how people look at you. It made me aware that people watch you and how you act in different situations. With a first-place regular season finish in their region, the Eng- lish equestrian team headed to Zone 9 competition, only to be met with disappointment. The team fell short of qualifying for the Inter- collegiate Horse Show Association National Competition by a point. It was pretty disappointing, Burdan said. I ' m not going to lie. We had home-field advantage. We kept telling each other, ' don ' t think aboiu last year and think we ' re going to win. Purdue ' s coming and they ' re going to want to win it. And they ' re going to come in with a vengeance, ' and, sure enough, they did. At the NCAA Varsity Championship, April 24-25, the team placed seventh overall. Bringing home the only first-place finish for K-State, freshman Nicole Ruff had K-State ' s highest finish of the championship when she competed in the reining competition. It was really exciting, my first time going to the varsity eques- trian championship, Ruff said. It was nice to be able to help the team earn points. Burdan said while the English team had a few mistakes that cost them a chance to go to nationals, they would more than make up for those mistakes next season. I ' m sure if we go this year, we ' ll go and make up for those inis- takes, she said. It happens and you have to shake it off and move on. We ' ll keep working on getting ahead and staying ahead. It ' s an easy climb to the top but hard to stay there. You have to work twice as hard to stay at the top. . 7 7 s ■sports At the Zone Nine Competition, April 3, Allison Woodworth, senior Englisti rider, jumps over fences.

Senior Trisha Culbertson finished the women ' s race in second place with a time of 18 minutes, 9.40 seconds. I ran a pretty good race at our first meet at Rim Rock (Farm), Culbertson said. I ran consistant but not spectacular the rest of the season. She also said the team was confident in its abilities throughout the season but could have done better in some of the meets. 1 think we always have pretty high expectations for ourselves, Culbertson said. Maybe our performance or where we placed in a meet didn ' t reflect what we could do. At the Big 12 Championships, hosted by K-State at the State- land Choss Country Course in Topeka, both teams placed eighth. Saying it was her best performance of the season, Culbertson said she was excited for the opportunity for more of her friends to see her run since the race was in Topeka. It was also really cool we hosted the Big 12 meet, she said. A lot of my friends got to come and see me. Some of them had never seen me run in college. It was one of our closest meets. Since it was her final season as a K-State cross-country runner, she also said she wanted to finish strong. Culbertson led the Wild- cat women with a 16th place finish and a time of 22:2.08 at the championships. On the men ' s side, senior Mathew Chesang, who ran in only three races during the season, finished in third place at the Big 12 Championships, completing the 10,000-meter coinse with a time of 24:12.90. I am happy after running cross country for four years, Che- sang said. 1 feel I haven ' t accomplished what I wanted with cross country, but there are no other races. At the Midwest Regionals, Nov. 13, Chesang finished the race with a time of 30:02.16 and a second-place finish. I feel happy about it, he said. I was excited, but I ' d be more excited if I was in first place. continued on page 233 3f SDorts 7 Running ahead of the pack at the Big 12 Championship, Oct. 30, senior Trisha Culbertson works her way too 16th-place finish with a time of 22 minutes, 2.08 seconds.

Erik Sproll said he was pleased with how the season went in general. It was a great season, he said. We got a lot of good training in. Mostlv, what I wanted to accomplish this season was to build a pretty good base for the track season coming up. Sproll said he wanted to have done better in his races, however. I think I would have liked to run a bit faster, he said, but I think the effort was there and the training was there. At the end of the 2003 season, former coach Randy Cole annoimced he would step down and assistant coach Mike Smith moved into the head coach position. Sproll said he enjoyed working with Smith. Coach Smith is a great person, Sproll said. I think it was a definite improvement. Smith said he was pleased with how things went, but had a few areas where he wanted to make changes. Right now we ' re really operating without the personnel we need. Smith said. We need to shift our personnel to distance instead of mid-distance. As the season drew to a close, senior Trisha Culbertson said she didn ' t necessarily want her career to end. It ' s kind of sad, though, she said.

Considering that we have a young team, I think it ' s going really well, senior Linzi Haiddren said. We ' ve done as good as last year, if not better. More than trying to win races, the team attempted to foster a close-knit feeling among members, Hauldreii said. I think we ' ve just wanted to accomplish togetherness and teamwork and just working more on our technique and build- ing that up. she said. So far, I think we ' re working toward that. There ' s always improvement to be made, but so far, so good. Sophomore Danielle Scott said the team thrived on being close. We ' re extremelv close, and I think that has helped us come together, Scott said. You depend on yoiu teammates. You can really depend on them to be there, even outside of rowing. Going into the Sunflower Showdown against in-state rival Kansas, the rowing team wanted a repeat of last season ' s success — a complete sweep over thejayhawks to finish off the fall season on a positive note. 1 think we ' ll do well, jiniior Stephanie Black said. 1 think they are a more experienced team, but we have the heart to win. For the third consecutive year, K-State defeated their rival. The team took first place in the first varsity eight-boat race and second place in the second varsity eight-boat race. Black said she was pleased with the races in the fall season and how the team placed in each them. Her goal for the season was to become a leader for the team, she said. This is m) ' first semester in the varsity-eight boat, Black said. So I wanted to practice leadership on the team and try to com- pete at the highest level possible and do well. Along with Black, it also was Scott ' s first season as a member of the varsity squad. I ' ve been accomplishing my goal and I ' m focusing on my tech- nique, Scott said. Perfection is pretty much expected.

The pay is good and you get to meet a lot of people, he said. Vou also develop a lot of relationships with the people you work with and the people you referee. Photo by Lindsey Bauman f whistle by Josh Witt Taking hard knocks from sports fans might make the task of officiating seem Hke a less-than-appealingjoh. A pair of intramu ral referees, however, saw the job as enjoyable and beneficial. Megan Hanson, freshman in elementary education, started her first year of intramural officiating, but she was far from inexperienced with sports. Hanson, a high-school athlete, also coached sixth- and seventh-grade girls ' basketball in addition to offici- ating for Recreational Services. Coaching helps you get your foot in the door with refereeing, and refereeing helps you get your foot in the door coaching, Hanson said. Hanson officiated vollevball in the fall and basket- ball in the spring. She said being a referee changed her perspective, on the job, and that she no longer was as harsh on offi- cials when coaching because of the experience. What stood out to me the most was that I ' d played, but I realized playing and officiating are two completely different things, Hanson said. I think it ' ll give me more knowledge, because you ' ve got to know yoiu- stuff before you start yelling. Jack Conkling, senior in secondary education, offici- ated four sports — football, volleyball, basketball and Softball — in his third year as an intramural official. Conkling said he had interesting experiences in his years as a Recreational Services official, especially while refereeing basketball. My second year, I had a bench-clearing fight, Conkling said. Both benches completely cleared and everybody came on the floor because a guy got undercut, h took me quite a while to get all that shut down, and I actually had to have the game forfeited. Assistant Director of Intramuralsjohn Wondra, who was in charge of officials, said basketball was the most difficult sport to officiate. Calls have to be instantaneous, Wondra said. You have to blow the whistle right away versus other sports, where you have a little more time. From time to time, officials had to deal with students who didn ' t quite agree with their calls. Hanson said no matter how angry a competitor got, she didn ' t take it to heart. If you take it personal, you ' re not in the right business, Hanson said. If you let it bother you, you ' re going to miss even more calls. Experience was key in getting more comfortable and more assertive officiating, Conkling said. I have a lot more confidence at this point, Conkling said. At first, I was focused on getting the right calls, and I was nervous. Now, I just want to make sure everybody has a good time. Though Megan Hanson, freshman in elementary educa- tion, had experience officiating basl etball games, the spring was her first semester as an intramural basketball referee.

Photo by Lindsey Bauman by Alex Yocunn dedication continued from page 239 Striving to become Big 12 champions again was the goal set by the women ' s volleyball team heading into the season. Despite the hype, the team came up short and was knocked out in their ninth-consecutive NCAA appearance by the University of Southern CaHfornia in the second roimd. The Wildcats ended the season 20-11, including a win over a No. 11 Texas A M, two wins over Kansas and fom- combined losses against Texas and Nebraska. We are very careful not to make comparisons, Coach Suzie Fritz said. The challenges we had this year were t hat the conference was more difficult than it has been in the past. The other teams had nearly everyone back. We had statistical perspectives from last year, but other than that, we are not the same. The team had four returning seniors and eight new players. Outside hitter Michaela Franklin said the biggest struggle was having a young team and getting everyone to understand the program and Division One play. Several seniors received high honors. Valeria Hejjas and Gabby Guerre were named All-Big 12, Lisa Martin was All-Big 12 honorable mention and Hejjas was an AVCA honorable mention Ail-American. Recruiting also showed its strengths, with freshman Angie Lastra receiving K-State ' s third Big 12 Libero of the year. Success breeds a lot of things, Fritz said. We are able to attract a higher-level athlete and volleyball player. I do think our success has impacted our recruit- ing, and this helps refine our system of play by giving us strong options all around. The season opened with a home match against Oral Roberts. The Cats won 3-0, but veteran team members struggled. We played like a young team. Fritz said. I ' m not going to make any excuses for anything. 1 think it ' s a natural thing that yoimg players go through. But as 1 said before, the disappointing thing to me is that it wasn ' t the yoimg players that were going through it. It was some of our veteran players that have been in those situations a thousand times before, and I was disap- pointed that they didn ' t step up. The start to the season stayed on an upside with three wins against Maryland, Houston and Wichita State and one loss to California. The next two matches against Florida and Minnesota tested the team ' s abili- ties and, despite solid play, ended in losses. Our best games in my eves woidd have to be these, Franklin said. Yes, we did end up losing both games in five, but they both were a dog fight to the end. The following matches against Northern Iowa, Colo- rado and North Dakota State brought a warm-up to the much-anticipated game against Texas A M, Franklin said. continued on page 243 fll Qp; Iilly --_ Hi : ■ ' SC; J40 sports i : ying to stop Iowa fate ' s Erin Boeve, Joy amiin and Valeria ejjas go up for ttie ' lock during ttie lird of five matches igainstthe Cyclones.

The win against the Aggies was the Wildcats ' 20th straight at home and was the 25th consecutive regular season home win, both school records. Midway through the season, the Cats lost their home-winning streak, losing to both Texas and Nebraska, but the Cats did beat their rivals, the Jayhawks, 3-2 and 3-0. By the end of the season, winning had a new meaning because of seeding for the NCAA tournament, but the 2-3 loss against Texas Tech did not help the Cats ' standing. The loss in five games late in the year, we could not afford to lose that, Fritz said. It did not allow us to play longer into the season and impacted the postseason as well. The regular season ended with a 3-0 home win against Mis- souri. (From a) stats perspective, our match against Mizzou, it was our best, Coach Suzie Fritz said. I felt our team peaked at the right time, and Mizzou is a quality opponent. The four seniors also were recognized, and Valeria Hejjas said the team was better for what it had accomplished this season and became a better team. The year ended with the ninth straight NCAA tournament appearance for the Cats. The first match in the tournament was a 3-0 win against Cal-State Northridge. The season came to a close when the team lost 0-3 against Southern California. It is disappointing, Fritz said. We have been a good team with good defense all year. To (the Trojans) credit, they played very well. I think our team played the best we could have. In the end, the Cats finished the season 20-11, lost four seniors and had players earn numerous honors. It is hard to define one moment or the season, Fritz said. It was a gradual improvement from start to finish. What we were able to put together came from a lot of good moments and memories.

Now, I think of K-State lacrosse in two terms, Casper said. We ' re rich in our heritage, and on the other hand, that ' s driving us and pushing us forward to our future. Built from scratch, the club ' s unique tradition revolved a great deal around one man — Donnie Tillar III. Tillar was the club ' s first coach and helped get the club started. Assistant Coach Tim ' VanWye said. Donnie was verv influential in getting the team off its feet and allowing the team to be very competitive right away, VanWye said. I personally never played under him. but the alumni always have stories to tell about him and how great of a coach he was. Due to tragedy, Tillar ' s story had to be told by others. Tillar, a soldier stationed at Fort Riley, was killed in action in February 1991 while serving in the Persian Gulf, but his presence was still visible in the club. For several years, the club was host to The Donnie Tillar Lacrosse Classic. In the fall season, though, the club decided not to play host to the Classic, members said. Instead, a new tradition was born — The Tillar Cup. The Tillar Cup pits K-State against rival Kansas. KL prevailed 6-4 on Oct. 1 at Memorial Stadium. Despite the loss, the club got some inspiration, as Donnie Tillar ' s father — Donnie Tillar II — watched the game and talked to the team. Just the few words that he spoke about his son were very uplift- ing, Club President Jon Kalodimos, junior in physics, said. Casper said the Cup, along with the annual fall alumni game, put the club ' s heritage in perspective. Those two events bring our players to understand the heritage of the team and what it was like when Donnie was there, Casper said. Surrounded by tradition, the club continued to take steps forward. The club moved up to Division A of the Great Rivers Lacrosse Conference for the first time. It was a big step for the club, VanWye said. We are up against a new level of competition and will be able to participate in a national championship situation, VanWye said. This also means that the team will require greater direction, poise, and budgeting — qualities our leadership has picked up very well. f M iSy w 144 spoils Running a drill late one Monday eve- ning before the sping season In Ahearn Field House, Bill Casper, senior in political science, tries to get ttie ball away from Alex Houlton, fresh- man in mechanical engineering.

The Wildcats finished the year 4-7 — their worst record since Coach Bill Snyder ' s first team went 1-10 in 1989. jeason highlights consisted of players, games and anticipation. Senior running back Darren Sproles zapped off a record-setting career. Sproles finished the season as the Big 12 Conference ' s all-time leader n career all-purpose yards and in the top five in NCAA history in the same category. K-State was also able to defeat rival Nebraska at home, and stage a come-from-behind effort to win at Missouri.

The game started sti fT as junior safety Bret Jones returned an interception for a touchdown at the 11:36 mark in the first quarter to give the Wildcats a 7-0 lead. The Bulldogs immediately rallied and took the lead for the rest of the game. Fresno State had 400 yards of total offense and held the Wildcats to just 180 yards and Sproles to 37 yards on the ground. Fresno State ' s 31 first half points were the most given up by K-State since 2000 against Oklahoma. We got soundly beat today in all facets of the game - offense, defen.se and kicking game, Snyder said. I ' ve been here for 16 years. You can remember some of the 1-10 and 5-6 (seasons). We never had a football team that just got beat up as badly as we did today. football U7 z GrVMl t. 18 vs. Louisiana-Lafayette Wildcats (2-1) got back on the winning side against Louisi- ana- fayette, defeating the Ragin ' Cajuns 40-20. roles dominated the game, breaking his own single-game shing record with 292 yards and a touchdown on 38 carries. On the field, I had no idea he was breaking a record, Antoine Polite, senior wide receiver, said. It sure was special to be a part of such a performance. Sophomore quarterback Dylan Meier was solid in a support- ing role, going 7-of-lO for 52 yards, throwing for one touchdown and rushing for two more. There were still defensive issues for the Wildcats, as they gave up 342 yards to the Ragin ' Cajuns. Oct. 2 at Texas A M After a bye week, K-State (2-2, 0-1) did not get off to a winning start in Big 12 play, falling 42-30 to Texas A M in College Station. Meier threw for 246 yards and three touch- downs and ran for another score, but his play was o ershadowed by turnovers. The sophomore quarterback threw two interceptions, and Sproles fiunbled the ball fotir time ffwo of which were lost to the Aggies. Nevertheless, many felt the team put forth good effort on the road. I think a lot of yoiuig players grew tonight, Cedrick Williams senior cornerback, said. We made plays and fought the whole game. There was great intensit ■ tonight. No one ever quit.

Meier, who did not start due to injury, nearly led the Wildcats to victory in the second half, throwing for 249 yards and tw touchdowns and running for one himself.

The Wildcat defense had one of its better perfor- mance ' s of the year in the first half, holding fresh- man running back Adrian Peterson to 26 yards on 14 carries. However, the Oklahoma offense proved to be too high-powered for the Wildcats, and Peterson ended up with 130 yards, while returning Heisman Trophy winner, quarterback Jason White, threw for 256 yards and four touch- downs. We did some good things on defense. We did some good things on offense. W ' e did some good things in the kicking game as well, but we didn ' t do them for 60 minutes, Snyder said. We just aren ' t good enough for 60 min- utes right now in any facet of the game.

A 64-yard Colorado touch- down pass with 16 seconds left broke a tie and the Wildcats ' postseason chances, as the Buf- faloes won 38-31 in Boulder. Colo. The Wildcats appeared to be headed to overtime with the Buffaloes after Meier con- nected with sophomore wide receiver Jermaine Moreira on a 17-yard touchdown to tie the game with 36 seconds left. But it was all for naught, and the loss took the Wild- cats out of the division title hiuit and meant no bowl game for the first time since 1992. It feels terrible, and 1 feel terrible, because I was one of those guys that didn ' t help us win at all, Jesse Tetuan, jiuiior safety, said. I played terrible today, and I feel bad because there ' s seniors that can ' t get this chance back.

Webb replaced Meier for good in the second half and proceeded to lead the Wildcats on three second- half scoring drives. The sophomore quarterback fin- ished 6-of-8 for 111 yards passing and two touchdowns in a win that kept the Wildcats ' postseason and Big 12 North Division title hopes alive. Sproles also dominated the Missouri defense rush- ing for 160 yards and two touchdowns on 20 carries, including a 74-yard touchdown in the third quarter. Archer had his second defensive touchdown of the season, returning an interception 25-yard — one of four Tiger tiunovers.

Photo by Kelly Glasscock Z sports For the first time since 1992, K-State football play- ers found out what it was like to not go to a bowl game. With a 38-31 loss to Colorado on Nov. 13 in Boul- der, Colo., coming in the game ' s final seconds, the Wildcats lost any hope of reaching a 12th-straight bowl game. We have broken a lot of strings this year, and none of them have been ones that we wanted to break, Coach Bill Snyder said after the loss to the Buffaloes. I am not sure I can remember what it is all about, not to have to prepare for a bowl game. Senior wide receiver Antoine Polite said not going to a bowl game summed up the season. This is how the season has gone, just a roller coaster of ups and downs, Polite said. This game (Colorado) follows suit with us coming back multiple times only to see it slip between our fingers. It had been like this all season, with beating Nebraska being a high and the loss to KU being a low. This game just seems to be a culmination of these events. While the chance to play in a bowl game in the past was a rewarding experience for the players, coaches and fans, another bonus of postseason play was money by Michael Ashford — and lots of it. Diuing the football team ' s run of 11-straight bowl games, the Department of Intercollegiate Athletics received anywhere from $750,000 to $1.6 million in payouts each year from various games. However, the loss of extra revenue did not affect the athletic department ' s budget. There are not any implications to the team not making it to a bowl game, Associate Athletic Direc- tor Bob Cavello said. We always take a conservative approach, and we don ' t budget around bowl games. Cavello said any money received from bowl games was never around long enough to have any significant effect, as most of it was spent on team expenses during the bowl trip. After a season-ending 37-23 loss to Iowa State at home, Nov. 20, sophomore linebacker Brandon Archer said the Wildcats needed to refocus on improvement. I feel that we need to come together as a team and not allow distractions at any cost, Archer said. I think we need to come together, and the leaders really need to get productive now, and the coaches, as well. We need to become a team and build some trust. rv ' P ' As he makes his way down the ramp from the locker room, Darren Sproles points to the crowd.

In 2003, Sproles rushed for 1,986 yards as he helped the Wild- cats claim the Big 12 Championship over Oklahoma and gain their first-ever Bowl Championship Series birth in the Tostitos Fiesta Bowl. His 2003 performance was good enough to earn him a fifth place finish in the Heisman Trophy balloting, and he catapulted to the top of the list of pre-season favorites in 2004. After K-State posted a 4-7 record, Sproles ' chances of winning the Heisman were finished by the middle of the season. Not helping his chances were game-changing fumbles that occurred at Texas A M and Kansas. Sproles fumbled a punt inside the 20-yard line in each of those games, as the Wildcats lost both games. Senior cornerback David Rose said the entire team was disap- pointed Sproles didn ' t win the Heisman. However, Rose said win- ning was not the most important thing to Sproles. We all wanted him to win the Heisman, and deep down inside, I know that he wanted it too, Rose sai d. But knowing him, I know that winning games is more important to him. And he won ' t show it, but I know this season has hurt him, too. Despite a disappointing season for the team, Sproles continued continued on page 256 darren .sproles UJ power house continued from page 255 to shine as he had his entire Wildcat career. He finished with a K-State career-record 24 games with 100 yards or more rushing. He racked up 1,318 yards on the ground in 2004, the third best season total by a K-State running back. The two best seasons also belong to Sproles. Sproles ' career rushing yardage ranked as the 11th best total in NCAA history, and his 6,812 career all-purpose yards ranks fifth all-time. Despite his mother dying of cancer before his last season, Sproles continued his education and remained the person K-State players, coaches and fans grew to love. Head Coach Bill Snyder said it was the things Sproles did off the field that made him stand out. 1 will remember Darren the person, Snyder said. He has overcome tragedy in his life at a very early age and he did it with amazing fortitude. He is always very team-oriented and always cared about the performances and successes of this football team than he did about his own. I will remember him as a very loyal family person, and a loyal person period, whether it is his family, our football program or his teammates. Despite not winning the Heisman and the disappointment of the 2004 season, Sproles said he enjoyed his time as a Wildcat. My four years here have been fun, he said. I loved my four years here.

For the Hist lime in t vo seasons, the Wildeats headed into the season without an established quarter- back, Ejiving sophomores D ian Meier and Allen Webb the chance to emerge as the starter. Before the season, Meier said he was comfortable with the challenge of competing for the starting quar- terback position. There ' s pressure in the quarterback position, no matter where you are at, and here is the same way, but I like the pressure and the nature of the position, Meier said. As it turned out. Coach Bill Sn der used both quar- terbacks as the team struggled through its first losing season since 1992. Because of injuries and ineffective plav, both Meier and Webb saw action in eight of the Wildcat ' s 11 games. After the Wildcat ' s first game against Western Kentucky, Snyder said it was important for both young players to gain game experience, but it was not an idea l situation. It ' s a Catch 22, I think, because you have two quarterbacks who don ' t have experience and it ' s not a two-quarterback system, Snyder said. Despite being hampered by injiuies throughout his first year, Meier proved he could play in the Big 12 Conference. The Pittsburg, Kan., native completed 57.7 percent of his passes for 1,436 yards, nine touchdowns and fin- ished seventh in the conference in passing efficiency. Meier turned in his best overall performance in his first game against a Big 12 opponent against Texas A M on Oct. 2. The Wildcats ultimately came up short, losing 42-30 to the Aggies, but Meier completed 29 of 45 passes for 236 yards, three touchdowns and one rushing touch- down. Overall, considering he took 90 snaps and consid- ering that every single time that he goes to the line, he ' s got to take the calls, he ' s got to pass them on to his teammates, he ' s got to take them all to the line of scrimma ge, he ' s got to make sure we are in the right play, he ' s got to deal with that crowd noise, I thought he really grew up, Snyder said. The 6-foot-3, 21()-pound quarterback also showed his grit against the University of Kansas on Oct. 9. Although Meier pulled himself and did not start the game due to an injury, he led the Wildcats to a near comeback win in the second half. In two quarters of play, Meier threw for 249 yards, two touchdowns and rushed for another in the 31-28 loss to thejayhawks. Webb, an Indiana University transfer, played his best overall game when the team needed him the most. Coming off a three-game losing streak and with Meier out with an injury, Webb led K-State to its first- ever, three-game winning streak over Nebraska. The Denver, Colo., native torched the nation ' s second-best rush defense for 147 yards on 34 carries and foin- touchdowns. Webb said his time spent watching game filiu in preparation for the game paid off. Earlier, in the previous ball games, it was a little frustrating, Webb said. This week I just got in and watched hours and hours of film, and that made a big difference for me. Webb also had a comeback of his own two games later against Missouri on Oct. 6. Down 21-7 at half-time, Snyder went to Webb, who helped the offense by throwing for 111 yards and two touchdowns, leading K-State to a 35-24 victory. At the time, the victory kept the Wildcats in conten- tion for the Big 12 North Division title and kept their chances of playing in a post-season bowl alive. For the season, the sophomore duo combined for 2,607 yards of total offense and 63 percent of K-State ' s scoring. Although K-State finished 4-7 and did not partici- pate in post-season play for the first time in 12 years, Meier and Webb showed the development of their skills and a glimpse into the future.

Chesang won the Sept. 11 Wildcat Invitational in Topeka. It ' s your ability to stand pain over a long period of time that stands you apart from others, as well as talent , Coach Michael Smith said. Mathew has those characteristics. Photo by Chris Hanewinckel A mid-season car accident caused Chesang to miss the bulk of the regidar season, but the senior would not be denied. Beginning with the Big 12 Champion- ships, Chesang tore through the competition in the three final races of the year. His time of 31:11.7 and I ' ith-place finish at the NCAA Championships earned Chesang Ail-American honors and cemented his status as one of the best in K-State history in the mind of Coach Michael Smith. He ' s a big-game guy, Smith said. I haven ' t seen him struggle at all at a major competition. I would say he ' s one of the top two or three, and easily in the top three, to come through K-State cross country. Chesang was the sixth male rimner to become an . ll-. merican at K-State. Entering the 2004 season, ( hesang was regarded as one of the best rimners in the Big 12 and the Midwest. An . 11-Big 12 riuiner his sophomore and jmiior years, and coming off a top-10 Midwest Regional finish and NCAA Cham- pionship appear- ance in 2003, C.hesang ' s fortiuies took a tinn for the worse in mid-September. After winning the Wildcat Invitational on Sept. 11, Chesang showed up to practice days later limping. Che- sang informed Smith he had been in a car accident. Chesang had suffered severe whiplash and injured his back and left knee. Nobody knew if the Wildcats ' best rimner woidd be able to return to form. Sidelined from several competitions and not able to keep his training regiment, Chesang was emotionallv down following the injiny, Smith said. Everything builds on everything before it in endinance events, Smith said. Initially, he was despondent. But after a week or so, when he was improving, his mindset improved, as well. Chesang said he was discoinaged at first but was determined to not give up. I tried to train, and my body wasn ' t working, Chesang said. In the back of my mind, I told m ' self it wasn ' t over. Indeed, it wasn ' t. A month and a half after his last competitive race, Chesang retiuned at the Big 12 Championships on Oct. 30, in Topeka. He might have still been hinting, but his competi- tors probably couldn ' t tell. Chesang finished the race in third place — good for All-Big 12 again — and surprised even his team- mates. After he got hurt, he kind of disappeared, junior Joseph Moore said. Then, all of a sudden, he came back. He showed up at the Big 12s and had a great race. It turned out to be just the first step of Chesang ' s late-season excellence. Two weeks later, Chesang finished second at the Midwest Resrionals in Peoria, 111. It was the second-best finish ever by a Wildcat at a regional race. The more I competed, the better 1 ran, Chesang said. Chesang ' s finish at Regionals gave him a spot in the NCAA Championships ' field, Nov. 22, in Terre Haute, Ind. Once again, Chesang dealt with ad ersity, but this time it was the muddy conditions of the course. Oh, it was a terrible day, Smith said. It was like ha ing an inch of snow on the ground or running on beach sand. Chesang didn ' t care. He proceeded to rim neck-and-neck with the best in the country, eventually finishing in 12th place. He now was an All-American. When I crossed the finish line, 1 knew I was in the books, Chesang said. That was a goal I ' d set at the beginning of the season. Moore was not able to see Chesang ' s race in person but months later he caught a replay of the champion- ships on television. Nationals blew my mind, said Moore of seeing Chesang battling toward the front of the pack. It was pretty amazing to watch. Those around Chesang credited his outstanding season despite adversity to his growth as a runner, his work ethic and his toughness. I ' ve seen a change in his demeanor and attitude in the last year, Smith said. Since last spring, I ' ve seen him with this tremendous will. Chesang agreed his mindset had developed since he first came to Manhattan. In my first years I was here, I wasn ' t doing well, Chesang said. I realized hard work pays off Chesang ' s career in Wildcat cross country was fin- ished. However, his influence woidd still be felt. Smith and Moore said. Chesang said he hoped his All-American season would pro ' icle a blueprint for present and future Wild- cats. It means with hard work and determination, any- body can be All-American, Chesang said. It tells my teammates that they can do it, too, if they put in the effort.

The team does not compete as a team, Kyle Lancastei, junior high jinnpei-, said. We are a family, however, but we focus on our personal best and by doing that we represent each other. The season began strong with home-field advantages and many individual titles were won by returning All-American athletes, Chaytan Hill and Lancaster. Dining the Wildcat Invitational, a new school record was set by pole vaulter Breanna Eveland with a jump of l.S-7 1 2. The mark also set an Ahearn Field House record as well as meet records and the improvement of Eveland ' s own NCAA Indoor Championships provisional qualifying mark. Although Eveland set records, the rest of the indi- viduals stayed consistent and the men and women ' s teams kept competing at the Big 12 level. I really look more at the performances and where they relate in terms of what it is going to take to score at the conference meets, Coach Cliff Rovelto said. On paper, our men had a strong conference team than the women did. This is different this year than it histori- cally has been here. However, Lancaster and other athletes received injuries that set them back for a few weeks. The majority of the work I did late in the fall went to waste, Lancaster said. Just knowing I could have done better was the hardest part. The last home meet of the early season was the KSU-KU-ML Triangular where the Wildcats took first (257). This triangle meet, the team stepped up and per- formed verv well, Lancaster said. I was very proud of how everyone did. On the road, the Wildcats took numerous event titles, ranging from three to ten. Our athletes know how to take charge when we travel and at home, Hill said. It is nice to see so manv people do well. It helps our standings and their chances of moving on further in the season. During the UNI Invitational, Jan. 29, Coby Cost set a record in the weight throw. The team made strides at the Sevigne Husker Invitational, Feb. 4, in Lincoln, Neb. I do not think there is any question to the level of competion at the meet, Ro ello said. In this competition, we were fewer than before but just as strong. By the Big 12 championships, Feb. 25-26, most athletes already secured their positions at the meet. However, the W ' ildcats sent no distance runners, but upcoming athletes and Ail-Americans. After the championships in Lincoln, with K-State receiving 3rd and 5th and four event titles, the Wildcats hosted the final rounds of the Big 12 Championships on their home track. I think the season went extremely well, Lancaster said. We fin- ished higher than when we started and are better then we have been before. We have a lot to bring to the table in the years to come.

The hletes who come into the program know K-State gets results, hat is something that draws student athletes in, in the first place. Cliff Rovelto, head of the prograin since I99I, helped coach hmpians, world champions, U.S. national champions, NCAA hampions and All-. mericans. He also gained international titles id participated in the World University Games. The energv the coaches bring to the table is amazing, ■terson said. It has brought a higher-level athlete and a level of icouragement that produces results. In 2003. the Wildcats hosted to two Ail-Americans and Olympi- is. In the years to come, the program will grow and its reputation ill continue to improve, Peterson said. The program is making a name for itself, Rovelto said.

Barrett — known as Mr. K-State and the Associate llhletic Director of Development — thanked Director FAthletics Tim Weiser for initiating the jersey retire- lilents during the ceremonv. A former All-America guard who led the VMldcats the 1951 NCAA Championship Game, Barrett was a aple of K-State basketball and athletics long after his La ing career. It ' s reallv exciting, said Barrett of having his No. ;2jersev retired. It ' s imbelievable. too. I ' ve been round the imiversity all ni) life practically and just ke a lot of pride in this place. To see this happen to e, it ' s hard to believe. Boozer, who played from 1956-59, was still regarded . arguably the best basketball player in school history most five decades after his career ended. Wearing No. 30, the 6-foot-8 forward was a two-time it-team Ail-American and still held the school records ' ■r single-season and career scoring average in 2005. Dining his speech at the halftime retirement cer- iiony. Boozer pimiped up the crowd with praise of Wild- it head coach Jim Wooldridge and by telling head foot- iiall coa( h Bill ,Sn der to keep putting it lo Nebraska. Parr rounded out thi ' distinguished trio. A 6-fooi-9 center who ])la ed from 1955-58, Parr was known as a hard-nose player in his dav, as he earned all-league honors three times and .All-America recognition. The ahnnnus was one of the best rebounders in school history, owning the Wildcat single-season rebounding record and second-place for his career. Parr said he was grateful that his No. 33jersey was retired. Being here and being part of this is a real privi- lege and a real opportimity, and I ' m very gratified and humbled by it, Parr said. That ' s not something that was in the horizon for me, and I feel very blessed to be a part of what happened here. Though the three legends were the first men ' s basketball players to have their jerseys retired, they were not the first overall. Nicole Ohlde, former All-American and player from 2000-04, was the first athlete to have his or her jersev hanging from the Bramlage rafters. Despite, the Wildcats 70-60 loss to Colorado, Bar- rett, Boozer and Parr said positive things about their days as Wildcats and the future of the program. 1 think that the fan support has been increasing considerably for Coach Jim Wooldridge ' s program, and it will continue to do so, Parr said. I think he ' s doing a great job, and I ' m really proud of what he does, and the way he does what he does. His methods and his approach are to be applauded. Two-time first-team All-American and former Olympian, Bob Boozer, gave an animated speecti at the jersey retire- ment ceremony, as he drew laughs and cheers from the audience. I ftiink an awful lof of (Coach Jim) Wooldridge, Boozer said. I think he ' s a good coach and he ' s gof ftiem on the rigfif track, and I think if won ' t be long before K-Sfafe is back up wtiere fhey should be. Photo by Chris Hanewinckel .t iTop shattered by Josh Witt It was the most-anticipated announcement in K-State sports during the year and on March 15, K-State Director of Athletics Tim Weiser announced that Coach Jim Wooldridge would be retained for the 2005-06 season. That marked closure to a basketball season that provided the Wildcats with many highs, but just as many lows and much drama. K-State finished the year with its best record since 1998-99 at 17-12, but there was much more to the season in which four games were lost in closing seconds or overtime. After they posted a 6-10 Big 12 Conference record and defeated Texas A M 68-62 in the first round of the Big 12 Tournament in Kansas City, Mo., before falling to Kansas 80-67 in the quarterfi- nals, the Wildcats thought they would make the postseason for the first time in six years. I really hope that we have earned our right into the National Invitation Tournament, Wooldridge said. I do think we have played well enough and hopefully oiu team will be recognized for that. Despite winning four of its last six games, K-State was denied a bid into the NIT tournament. We had a successful season, Wooldridge said. Unfortunately, the NIT did not select a good team in Kansas State. It was the latest disappointment for the Wildcats. After heading into the conference season with a 10-1 record, the Wildcats held high expectations for the rest of the year. Prior to a 64-61 win over Wyoming on Dec. 11, junior forward Marques Hayden said the team was coming together, as the Wild- cats held a 5-0 record at the time. continued on page 272 With Iowa State play- ers watching, senior forward Jeremiah Massey slams down a dunk durirng the second half of the 63- 51 win over Iowa State at Bromlage Coli- seum, Jan. 26.

What happens in college basketball is yon start to have fun, and the plays come a little bit easier and everybody ' s getting a piece of the ball. The Wildcats opened Big 12 plav with a 0-2 record, as they lost at Nebraska on Jan. 8, in double-overtime and to Texas Tech at home on Jan. 12, after a Red Raider 3-pointer in the final 10 seconds. We ' re really frustrated, Tyler Hughes, sophomore center, said. We took that nasty loss to Nebraska that we could have won if we would have just made some free throws, and tonight, there wasn ' t much we could do about it. They just hit a couple shots, got them- selves into the game and got the ' W ' . K-State reboimded from the frustration in what woidd become a common theme for the team. The Wildcats won three of their next four games including a 63-51 win asrainst NCAA Tournament-bound Iowa State at home on Jan. 26, and two wins against Missouri. It was the first season sweep of the Tigers since the 1983-84 season, as the Wildcats defeated Missoiui 74-54 at home on Jan. 29, and 64-53 Jan. 29 in C;olumbia, Mo. It was definitely big, freshman point guard Clent Stewart said. I wasn ' t born the last time we beat Missoiui at Missoiui.

During a game against Texas Tech, Jan. 12, Coach Jim Wooldridge yells at his team. That was a tough one, Wooldridge said.

I think so, said Wooldridge dining his fifth season with the team. I don ' t think there ' s any doubt he pro- ckiced more and impacted games more. At the conclusion of Massey ' s career, the nimibers supported Wooldridge ' s praise. After transferring from Oxnard Community Col- lege, Massey cracked the top-25 in school history for points scored, in just two seasons. The Detroit native ' s career scoring average of 16.3 points per game also was good for eighth all-time. Massey ' s 22 games of 20 points or better was ranked 10th in school history. He also cracked the top 10 in free throws attempted and made. Even University of Kansas ' Head Coach Bill Self had praise for Massey, who earned second-team All-Big 12 honors. You look at his niunbers and how he carries the team and how the team centers aroimd him and how defenses are designed to stop him first, Self said. He deserves plenty of recognition. Massey was a critical contributor to K-State ' s first winning record (17-12) since the 1998-99 season, lead- ing the team with 17.9 points and 6.9 per game. The Big 12 Newcomer of the Year his junior season, Massey did go through his share of struggles dining his senior year. Just less than two weeks after he scored a career- high 32 points against Northern Illinois, Massey went down with an ankle injury in the second half of a win, Jan. 3, against Central Missouri State. Massey did not miss a game, but played reduced minutes in the following game — a double-overtime loss at Nebraska. However, the injury was not enough to keep Massey out of double-digits, and Massey ended up scoring at least 15 points in every game after the Nebraska loss. The injury was very hard, Massey said. When you get hurt, you can ' t do the things you need to do to help vour team. I ' m just glad my teammates stepped up for me while I was hurting, and I ' m doing a lot better now. Although, the Wildcats were set to return four starters for the 2005-06 season, Wooldridge said it was clear that Massey, his smile and his energy made him a fan-favorite and he would be missed. I hate to see him go, Wooldridge said. He ' s at the forefront of our team right now.

They did that today and we just have to come back and be ready for it. The Wildcats, motivated from the two early losses, finished out their non-conference schedule with five straight wins. No. 20 K-State opened conference play on Jan. 5, at Iowa State, where the Cyclones handled the Wildcats a 78-59 loss. Sophomore guard Claire Coggins finished with a then-career-high 18 points, but it was not enough to coiuiter Iowa State ' s 10 made 3-pointers. Following the loss to the Cyclones, K-State won its next seven games. The Wildcats knocked off rival Kansas 63-45 on Jan. 8, and won on the road against No. 10 Texas Tech on Jan. 22, the Wild- cats ' first win at Tech since 1978. During the game against the Red Raiders, Wecker became the fifth woman in Big 12 history to score 2,000 career points. K-State got revenge on Iowa State Jan. 25, as the No. 16 Wild- cats easily won 74-52 over 18th-ranked Iowa State. With the win, K-State sat in first place in the Big 12 Conference standings. Head Coach Deb Patterson said after the win her team was not worried about standings or rankings. The conference race will take care of itself, Patterson said. If we focus on that we will become distracted. We ' re going to do what we can each night to compete for the championship. The Wildcats lost to No. 8 Ba lor 72-62 in Waco, Texas, on Feb. 2, to Oklahoma in Norman, Okla., 77-61 and to No. 13 Texas 64-60 at home on Feb 16, a stretch where K-State von just 2-of-5 games. continued on page 283 Sophomore guard and forward Claire Cog- gins puts up a shot under the defense of Baylor ' s Chelsea Whitaker during K- State ' s 68-55 loss to Baylor in the Big 12 Championship game in Kansas City, Mo.

I wanted the shot whether it was wide open or it wasn ' t wide open. It ' s just one l ' e got to knock down. The regular-season home schedule ended against Kansas, where Kendra Wecker became the second K-State women ' s basket- ball plaver to haw her jersev retired. In the last home game for the senior class of (Chelsea Domenico, Koehn, Brie Madden, Megan Mahoney and Wecker, the Wildcats won 73-46. This was a wipe-out game, Coach Deb Patterson said after- wards. There were definitely a lot of moments with a great deal of emotion because of the love and appreciation we have for this senior class. After seeing her jersey raised to the Bramlage Coliseinn raf- ters, Wecker said the whole ceremony was special to her. It was kind of hard for me to keep it together, especially standing there with my parents and looking over there at my teammates, Wecker said. It was very special for not only me but everybody involved. To start the ceremony with that and end with me talking, I do not know if that was a good thing or not, but it worked. The Wildcats earned the No. 3 seed for the Big 12 Toiuna- ment, where they made it to the championship game before falling 68-55 to No. 1-seed Baylor. K-State finished its fourth straight NCAA Toiunament bid as a No. 4 seed, with a 23-7 record. Several Wildcats left their marks on the K-State record books. Wecker was named the Big 12 Player of the Year, and finished the Big 12 Tournament with a school- and Big 12-record 2,279 points, and a school-record 1,067 rebounds. Koehn went into the NCAA Tournament with 14 3-pointers shy of breaking the all-time NCAA career mark of 391. Mahoney tore her Achilles tendon in the Big 12 Tournament, but still finished her career as K-State ' s career assists leader vith 589 assists.

If the No. 4 Wildcats made it past the first and second rounds, a trip tt) Kansas C;it . Mo., and the Sweet 16 would have awaited them. Instead, the W ildcats returned home with a finished season. While thev won their first round game against No. 1, ' Bowling Green 70-60, the Wildcats tell short of the Sweet 16, losing to No. 5 Vanderbilt 63-60. This marked the third straight year that K-State lost to a lower seeded opponent in the second round. Against Bowling Green, it was the senior duo of forward Kendra Wecker and guard Laiuie Koehn that shiu down the over- matched Falcons. Wecker scored a game-high 23 points, 18 of which came in the second half, and Koehn went 6-of-13 from three-point range on her way to 22 points. With the six 3-pointers, Koehn moved within three of breaking the NCAA all-time mark of 391 set by BYU ' s Erin Thorn in 2003. Head Coach Deb Patterson said the play of Wecker and Koehn was critical to the success of the team. It was very appropriate that both Koehn and Wecker were the two who led us to this victory, by and large, Patterson said. You need big-time plays. You need big-time players to step up and make those plays in order to advance. We were fortunate that both Kendra and Laurie brought that disposition. Liz Honegger led the Falcons with 15 points and 13 rebounds, while Ali Mann chipped in with an additional 13 points. The win made it the foiuth straight opening-round win for the Wildcats. In the second round against Vanderbilt, K-State jumped out to an early 20-12 lead, but then went ice cold from the floor. Over the last nine minutes of the first half K-State made just two field goals, while the Commodores went on a 22-5 run to lead 34-25 at the half In the second half, Vanderbilt stretched its lead to 16 points by the 7:10 mark, but the Wildcats did not give up, as they went on a 19-4 run to pull within one point at 61-60 with just five seconds remaining. We made a great run at it in the last couple of minutes, Wecker said. However, Vanderbilt ' s Ashley Earley scored on a layup with 2.1 seconds left after a long inbounds pass and Wildcat freshman guard Kimberly Dietz ' s shot at the buzzer missed, giving the Com- modores the 63-60 win and a berth in the Sweet 16. Wecker finished with a game-high 29 points, and sophomore guard Claire Coggins added 13, but it was not enough to counter three Commodores in double figures - Carla Thomas (18), Earley (17) and Dee Davis (13). Koehn still managed to have a record-breaking night, as she made three 3-p )inters to break the NCAA all-time record. That is awesome, Coggins said. That is so good for her. Em so proud of her. There is not another player in the country who works harder than her on playing or shooting. After the loss, Koehn said instead of dwelling on it, she would try to focus on all the good that has happened over the last four years — a span in which the W ' ildcats compiled a school-best 104- 27 four-year record. This is a very tough loss to swallow tonight, Koehn said. There are a lot of good memories and positive things that will stay with all of us seniors for the rest of our lives.

' It ' s a great honor, and I just attribute that to my leammates, as well, and the coaching staff for putting I lie in positions to do what 1 can do on the coiut. However, it wasn ' t the easiest season for Wecker. On Dec. ? . against New Hampshiie, after hitting a jumjj shot. Wecker awkwaidly came down on top of a defender ' s foot and spiained her left ankle. The injury forced Wecker to sit out of the Wildcats ' next three games, including a 77-68 home loss to unranked Lib- ei t the dav after her injur . A ' ecker said the injurs ' was tough to handle, but the time she spent on the bench onh ' made her more deter- mined once she retiuiied to the court. Personally, for me, 1 never would have thought going into this season that I ' d be in the position where 1 am right now, Wecker said. 1 never would have thought 1 would have gotten hurt, but I think that made me just a little but more hungry. In Wecker ' s first game back, she scored 25 points at Villanova and averaged 21 points the rest of the games. I came back off the injury at the Christmas tournament and played better than what I even expected. she said. I think that just kind of carried me and brought that momentum back and that hunger, fight and desire back. Wecker helped K-State finish the season with a trip to the Big 12 Tournament Championship Game, where the Wildcats lost to No. 1 seed Baylor. Fellow teammate, senior forward Megan Mahoney, said Wecker was not just a great player, but a great person as well. She is not only tremendous on the court, but what makes her such a great person is. she is so humble about every- thing, Mahoney said. Sometimes. 1 have to get on her case because she is so humble and she doesn ' t think she is as good as she is. It has been great to play with her for four years because she is a great person.

In October, the Hall Governing Board began the Gotcha Nerf War. Brandon Brewster, freshman in business administra- tion and social chair for Moore, and Cedric Flemming, sopho- more in journalism and mass communications, started the program. h came up dining an HGB meeting, Brewster said. We were just tossing (the idea) aroiuid, and then decided that we would run with it. Once Flemming and Brewster decided the program would be an interesting wav to encourage community and put it into effect, they realized they needed to adv ertise and garner participants. We put up signs all over the hall, Flemming said. We asked evervbody to talk to people on their floor. Thirty-two residents signed up and participated in the pro- gram. They bought $6 Nerf guns through HGB and provided the hall with an index card containing a physical description of themselves and at least a partial course schedule. One index card was distributed to each participant, and they were told to 11.1 1 It liiui ihc person and shoot him or her with the Nerigun. The only rule was that the students could not be shot dm ing class or inside the residence hall. Any other place was fair game. Once you eliminated vour person, you got their card and went after their person, Flemming said. I got to know a lot of people. The program was not all fun and games. The fight got brutal when participants started getting creative with their strategy. It was one girl ' s birthday and I t old her that I was from a flower company and had birthday flowers, Flemming said. She came downstairs, out the door and 1 shot her. Jacquelynn Haberichter, freshman in political science, was Flemming ' s target. He tricked me, Haberichter said. It was my birthday, like two weeks before, and somebody called me and said they were FTD Flowers and to come downstairs. I looked around the lobby and asked at the front desk and he said to go outside, and then he shot me. The program was successful in helping students get to know the people in their building, Flemming said. I died pretty fast, Haberichter said. I died before I even got to figure out who my target was, but it was really fun while it lasted.

The floors competed against one another by constructing two objects: a tower and working catapult. Contestants used office supplies and objects found in drawers to build their creations, Patrick Simpson, junior in biology, said. Items used included paper, plastic craft cord, scissors, rulers, push pins, paper clips, pens and pencils, rubber bands, spoons, craft sticks, super glue, index cards and googly eyes. Thev really enjoved the creative aspect of it, Simpson, second- floor resident assistant, said. I know that the first floor was going more for how it looked than how effective it was. Fourth floor had an interesting time. It ' s an all-guys floor, so they were very split on how they wanted to build the catapult. Each team had between three and eight people working on the creations within a 45-minute period. The catapult was judged on the distance it could fling a coin, and the tower was judged on height and the amount of weight it could hold, Andrew Lawson, senior in mass communications, said. There were various levels of weights, ranging from a coin to a copy of the ' Communist Manifesto, ' Lawson said. The strongest even held up a digital camera. The event was a part of the hall ' s Floor Wars, a competition between all the floors of the hall. Nancy Powell, third-floor resident assistant and senior in accounting, said participants enjoyed the challenge of the event. Even though not everyone could win, Lawson said, I think everyone came away with a positive experience. Kenneth Barber Aurora. Colo. Journalism and Mass Communications • FR Angela Bliss Atwood.

Tlie house, built in 1967, still rellected nian 1970s aesthetic fealmes. President Melissa Eberl said. Diuinw the summer, the first stage of the renovations began with the stud rooms. Ten rooms were remodeled, including replacing the windows to increase heat efficiency. The second and third stages were scheduled for spring. Stage Two invohed impi oving exterior featmes — the backyaid drain- age svstem was replaced so the women would he able to hold more acti ities outdoors, and the front entr) was remodeled. Stage Three focused on the furnishings and wall coverings in the public areas of the house. Kelli Cox, who represented the Clo ia Alumni Board on the renovation committee, said the motivation for the renovations came from the 75th anniversarv, but the house needed improve- ments in many areas. We are the first Clovia house, Cox, associate of planning and analysis, said. There were four of us, so we are pretty proud that we ' ve been around 75 years. We want to make sure the house looks nice and it gets updated from the 1960s, when it was built. The study rooms featured new shelving and bigger desks. Ebert, senior in mass communications, said the remodeled study rooms were a vast impro ' ement from the previous desks. They are more space efficient, Andra Schlagel, junior in fisheries and wildlife biology, said. They are a lot more conducive to studying. Schlagel said the Clovias were pleased with the study rooms makeovers and looked forward to the remaining reno ' ations. They will make our house lotik nicer and up-to-date, she said. I ' m excited about seeing the other parts of the house. Cox said all three stages of the reno ations cost $400,000. and most of the funding came from donors and aknnni contributions. Several places in the house will be named after prestigious Clovias or donors, Cox said. There are many study rooms named after a group of people. That is something we haven ' t been able to do before. Becky Abramovitz Leavenworth. Kan. Animal Sciences and Industry • SO Bethany Adams Liberal, Kan.

During finals week, after a gift exchange and a late-night snack, Smith men took cushions from their couches and chairs and made a wresthng ring. The match consisted of three rounds — two 1-minute roimds and one round that didn ' t end imtil one wrestler was pinned on the floor. Ken Gitchell, jimior in computer engineering, said. The rounds were fought between whomever called another person out. I was ready to fight my roommate, Ryan Shiplev, freshman in engineering, said. After one semester, a lot of tension builds up, but it does help the fight. The fights took place in the television room, where the pad- ding was a hard-wood floor and thin carpeting. Michael Curtin, graduate student in accounting, said rug burns, concussions and sprains were the worst injiuies that participants sustained. h ' s like a big wrestling arena, Curtin said. When you hit the fioor. it sounds worse than it is, but it still hints. The wrestling match allowed the men to release stress built up by studying. For just a few brief minutes, you can concentrate on some- thing else, Curtin said. I have to wrestle this guv. then it ' s over and it ' s back to work. Not only was it a break from studying, but house dynamics changed as well, Gitchell said. It ' s a good change in the house, Shipley said. We need excitement during these stressful times. Not only that, but it gets us pimiped for the upcoming week and second semester. Adam Boyd Manhattan Mechanical Engineering • SR Michael Curtin Overland Park. Kan.

Crable The harmonious sounds of Christmas carols reverberated through the campus and the city during the evening of Dec. 8, as the women of Smiuthwaite Scholarship House serenaded students, administrators and Manhattan residents in prepa- ration for the holiday season. Megan Hopkins, junior in fine arts, said the women visited residences and sang traditional favorites such as Silent Night and Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer. Hopkins said this was the second year for the event, and the women hoped to make the city-wide caroling a tradition. Originally, Hopkins said, the women drafted a route for the caroling, but as they traveled throughout the city, they found several homes in need of holiday cheer. Their stops included residences of Smurthwaite alumnae, the Smith Scholarship House, head football Coach Bill Snyder and President Jon Wefald. Hopkins said the women enjoyed seeing the looks on the faces of their audience members, and that those expressions made the event a rewarding experience. They were mostly sur- prised, she said. It was mainly elderly people who had never had someone sing at their house before. Becky Reanneke, sopho- more in graphic design, said she enjoN ' ed stopping at Snvder ' s house, where the entire family enjoyed the sounds of the music. He and his wife both liked it, Reanneke said. While we were singing, his daughter came home, so we sang to her, too. Reanneke said they enjoyed singing at the Wefald residence the most, and they only encoun- tered one critic during the entire trip. When we went to President Wefald ' s house, his dog was kind of growling at us, she said, but President Wefald talked to us for a while and asked us how our finals were going and where else we were planning to stop. Wefald said his canine friend meant no harm to the women and was just barking out of excitement. He was bewildered because he had 20 young ladies there, but he calmed down very quickly, he said. He ' s a great little dog. Wefald said that amid the rush and bustle of the end of the fall semester, he appreci- ated the festive gesture of the Smurthwaite women. It was very nice of them to stop by, and I appreciate it. Wefald said. They are out- standing young women and a great example of the K-State spirit we ' ve all come to know and love. Emily C.

Acacia members rolled up their sleeves and helped eight strangers rake their yards, Nov. 14 and 21. Nathan Mentzer, jimior in mechanical engineering, said Acacia did not know the people they helped, but called local churches and the Senior Service Center to get names of people in need. Ben Connell, jvmior in mechanical engineering, said 13 Acacia members spent seven hours both Sundays helping with the annual service project. He said the weather provided a sunny sky and 50- degree weather. We got out and raked their )ards and put a slip in their door saying they had been a victim of a drive-by raking, Connell said. It ' s a way for us to reach out and help the commimity a little bit. Mentzer said members raked until after dark on the first Sunday. One yard had leaves that were soaked in water and really nasty, Mentzer said, but we got the job done. The members borrowed rakes from various facilities and dis- carded the leaves in a compost pile behind Umberger Hall, Eric Burton, freshman in mechanical engineering, said. We would take big piles of leaves and people jumped in them, Connell said. (They) dived head first into the leaves. Along with returning to childhood fun, Biuton said he enjoyed seeing the smiles on the strangers ' faces when they noticed Acacia ' s contributions. Giving back to the community is one of the best feelings you can have, Mentzer said. The joy and thrill of helping someone out is incomparable. L.

Through her extensive leadership, Luhrs, senior in secondary education, affected the lives of more than 500 people at K-State, just during her senior year alone. Alpha Chi Omega knew they had a great catch on their hands from the time Luhrs went through recruitment. I chose Alpha Chi because I felt like they recognized me as a leader from the very beginning, Luhrs said. While some freshmen took the year off from activities, Luhrs did not. She held two offices in the Alpha Chi house, joined the Student Alumni Board and tried her hand in other campus activities. Luhrs said it was her leadership in the sororitv that spring- boarded her into campus activities, where she foimd her true love. The house taught me responsibility, accountabilitv, and it has kept me grounded and humble, she said. Being in a situa- tion where you lead and live with the same group of people is a huge learning experience. You can ' t go home and take off your leader hat. Rachel Grimmer, president of Alpha Chi and senior in secondary education, said Luhrs had been a great leader and sotnxe of wisdom in the house. She has shown her support by faithfully coming to events and just being present, Grimmer said. Grimmer also worked closely with Luhrs in many activities and classes.

Luhrs ' resume included current president of Mortar Board, vice president of Development for Student Alumni Board, Youth Director at First Presbyterian Church, Order of Omega, plan- ning committee for Leadership Challenge and a teacher for the Introduction to Leadership Concepts class. Candace Hironaka, Mortar Board sponsor and Leadership Challenge coordinator, worked closely with Luhrs throughout her college career. Hironaka said from the first time she met Luhrs, she knew this was a woman that K-State was going to hear something about. I just marvel at Victoria ' s leadership, Hironaka said. She leads with humor, passion, a clear vision of where she wants to go, and organizational skills that are second to none. Hironaka said Luhrs did more than fill her resume. She invested herself in the activities and the people she loved, Hiro- naka said. Working with Victoria has reinforced the fact that my job of working with students is validated every day, Hironaka said. I know we are leaving the world in the hands of very bright young people and that keeps my hope in the reality that there is good in this world intact. Luhrs said that with everything she had the opportunity to experience at K-State, Alpha Chi would stay with her until the end. The campus activities ended when Luhrs ' graduated, but she said with the friendships she made and the experiences she had, she would be an Alpha Chi forever. 3 4 -peopk Iphachi omega Alyssa Breese Sedalia, Colo.

Instead of waking to the sight of snowflakes falling outside, the women were greeted with something heavier and more durable — rolls of toilet paper, courtesy of FarmHouse. Some of the lights switched on in our house because of the toilet paper on our power line, Alissa Pickels, junior in elemen- tary education, said. I didn ' t realize how bad we ' d gotten hit until we woke up. When the women awoke, they were under attack. We started hearing the ' thuds ' of toilet paper hitting the house, said Tamara Bowles, president of AD Pi and senior in life sciences. We ran outside to find half of our house covered, and they were still going strong. Bowles said the two-ply attack was the result of an ongoing friendly rivalry between the two Greek houses, who were Home- coming partners. She said the women of AD Pi had hit Farm- House with much the same prank, but not on such a large scale. We had a lot of fun during Homecoming, Bowles said. We had TPed them about one-tenth of what they got us. I knew they ' d been preparing for it for about a month. Grant Helmers, president of FarmHouse and senior in finance, said the total monetary worth of the toilet paper used was nearly $400. He said the men hadn ' t TPed a house in more than two years, so they were ready to make a comeback in full force. Everyone was pumped, he said.

Crable than a month for an opportune moment. Helmers said the media coverage of the prank made it worthwhile. That was the hot topic, he said. The articles from the Col- legian and the Mercury were posted all over the house. Pickels said in the aftermath of the prank, the women took about foLu- hours to clean up the toilet paper that littered the exterior of their house and lawn. She said at one point, she was clearing debris out of a tree and found something other than Charmin — a pair of shoes. We had been cleaning for 45 minutes before we saw them, she said, h was kind of humorous. Bowles said such pranks, as long as they are carried out tastefully, add to a sense of camaraderie and fun. I think as long as little, fun things happen with good inten- tions, it ' s a fim way to carry out the tradition of being college students and increasing relationships, Bowles said. It adds community and fim. Helmers said he agreed that such events bring people together and provide for a much-needed break during dead week. Our chapter gets so busy, Helmers said. Even if it ' s some- thing that sounds stupid, anything we can do together is just so much fun. For the time being, Pickels said the women had no plans to strike back. In these circumstances, boys always win, Pickels said. Girls are awful TPers. I I [ ' Ipha delta pi ■ Kaylee Cocke Augusta, Kan. Microbiology • SO Maggie Cocke Augusta.

It ' s just a lot of good people working together to accom- plish goals. Photo by Lindsey Bauman consecutive performance by Lindsay Porter Brotherhood, diversity and scholarship propelled Alpha Tau Omega to the top of the national fraternity standards for the fifth time. At the national ATO Congress in August, the K- State chapter was honored with the True Merit Award, the Top Chapter Award and the Joseph R. Anderson Gold Award. Individually, May 2004 electrical engi- neering graduate Andy Newton was recognized as the top ATO undergraduate in the nation, with the Thomas Arkle Clark Award. Brian King, chapter president, said Newton was nominated based on his performance and chapter involvement and for being an all-around great guy. With over 6,000 active ATO members across the country, I could not believe I had been selected as the member of ATO that best represents the fraternity, said Newton, first-vear law student at the University of Kansas. Winning the award was a very humbling experience. 1 did not feel as though my contributions to the fraternity warranted reception of an award of this magnitude. Newton was the third K-State ATO to receive the Thomas Arkle Clark Award since 2000. From the time of the Top C hapter Award ' s incep- tion in 1998, the men received the honor five of the seven years. The chapter received the True Merit Award consecutively since 1993. The Top Chapter Award recognizes the chapter that shows extraordinary dedication to the ideals of the fraternity including exceptional chapter operation. Adviser Bill Muir said the men submit an annual report itemizing everything they did throughout the year. Muir said the report was usually more than 400 pages. It makes the top of the pile, Muir said. Out of 143 chapters, that is no small accomplishment. The three key components for the chapter involved brotherhood, diversity and scholarship. We create an environment where we all get along, Larry Long, historian and senior in mechanical engi- neering, said. We hang out. We have 83 guys in the house, plus the new class, to build relationships. The chapter also encouraged diversity among recruits. We ' re very proud of our efforts in areas of diver- sity, Muir said. We have Spanish-American members, African-American members, very, very coimtry boys from the sticks — but they all enjoy each other. That ' s a neat thing we ' ve always strived for. The fraternity promotes academics through its endowment fund that gives scholarships based on need and achievement. Muir said the fund annually gave $100,000 to chapter members. Long said the men did not strive for the awards, but focused on commimitv service. We ' re by no means perfect, King, junior in mechanical engineering, said. We try to do things to the best of our ability. Every vear we have new guys in new positions and we pass on the tradition of excel- lence and teach the new guys how to live up the aspi- rations. The key area we have to focus on is looking at how we ' ve been successful in the past and how we can perpetuate that so it continues to be sustainable in the future as well.

Alpha Xi hosted a dad ' s weekend Sept. 11 to strengthen their family-like ties. We have 47 new girls, Anderson said. We are molding together very well, h is very nice and homey. Throughout the day, the women and their fathers tailgated before the K-State vs. Fresno State football game. hi the evening, the women hosted a casino night. As they played Bunko, a dice game that consisted of four people at each of the three tables, the women initially paired themselves with their fathers. One round ended when someone from the first table reached the correct amount of points and called ' Bunko, ' and then the two people with the highest scores moved on to the next roimd. The women and their fathers split up for the rest of the game. It ' s a good way for the girls to get to know each other, Ander- son said. Also, we get to see where they came from. Alpha Xi used the casino night to help raise money for their house. Jessica Larson, senior in food and nutrition-exercise sci- ence, said the money went toward remodeling the house and other needed supplies. The remodeling consisted of a new spiral stair- case, along with new doors and interior decor. At the end of the evening, the father-daughter couples split up until morning, when the fathers watched new members compete in pledge games. Afterwards, Alpha Xi said their goodbyes to their dads, and tinned to each other for needed support. I love it here. This house is helping me get through college, Stephanie Roberts, sophomore in business administration, said. It might sound corny, but it ' s like my home away from home.

Along with their lK)mecoming partners, Gamma Phi Beta and Lambda Chi Alpha, the men of Beta Sigma Psi gathered to watch their team peribrm at Wildcat Request Live on Oct. 25. WRL was the first event of homecoming week and began the competition between the 11 greek pairings. Each pairing was responsible for creating and choreographing a dance illustrat- ing the homecoming theme, Wild with Pride. Beta Sig, G Phi and Lambda Chi collaborated to create their dance over the course of several weeks. Our first meeting was Sept. 27, said Jared F. Miller, sopho- more in open-option and Beta Sig homecoming chair. W ' e decided on what we wanted to do, then the girls from G-Phi cho- reographed it. They did a really good job. On Oct. 13, the group met up and began practicing their rou- tine. It was a lot of work, Miller said. There were two or three practices a week for a couple hours and then the last week before we practiced everyday. The two-hour practices gave the team time to perfect their act and learn how to work together. They designed the dance and the costimies around an old western style. The men wore western inspired outfits complete with cowboy hats and the girls danced in skirts reminiscent of Little House on the Prairie. It was great to get to work with the guys, Patience Jackson, freshman in pre-health and G-Phi member, said. They worked really hard. The long evening of remixed rap songs ended on a high note for the Beta Sigs. They took first place in the event, setting them up for a great homecoming week, and exciting the brothers who usually were not that interested in homecoming. Miller said. The event was more than just choreographing the dance, many broth- ers helped behind the scenes. There were a lot of guys that helped build stuff, Miller said. They built the stage that we danced on and that kind of thing. If I asked for help they would be there.

A pon ' topped the list of what children asked for, Tanner Richards, sophomore in chemistrs, said. Other requested Christmas presents were a baseball and bat, and a skateboard, he said. Santa, played by Richards, sat next to a roaring fire and listened to each child ' s Christmas wish before handing them a gift. The gifts, purchased by members of Beta Theta Pi and Kappa Delta as part of a Christmas Open House on Dec. 10, were wrapped and put imder a Christmas tree, B. David Hart, president of Beta and senior in accounting, said. Beta opened its house to the commimity for parents to bring their children to see Santa CHaus and have the opportimitv to participate in holiday activities, including making a gingerbread house. The kids ha e been enjoying it, Richards said. The best thing is having them come and open presents. It ' s what I enjoy most. Santa ' s little helper, an elf played by Matt Stuchlik, was on hand to assist Santa and interact with the children. I was feeling the Christmas cheer, Stuchlik, sophomore in journalism and mass communications, said. I ' m feeling jolly. Spreading Christmas cheer is in mvjob description. Stuchlik said when each child arrived, they decorated a cookie with sprinkles and frosting, and members of both houses pla ed Pin the Nose on Rudolph and raced miniature cars with i4i i the children. When the kids come, everyone huddles aroiuid them and helps, he said. I tell them stories of my Christmas past when I was their age. Before the children arrived, members of Beta decorated the house for the holiday season. Paper snowflakes graced the entryway ' s ceiling, pine needles and leaves decorated tables and a floor-to-ceiling Christmas tree sat in the li ing room. Richards said every member of the house had an ornament on the tree with their name on it. Evervone in the house is really excited about it, Hart said. Our housemom is really excited, too. She loves doing it. Hart said that rather than doing a greek philanthropy, the house decided to direct the focus toward the Manhattan com- munity. We wanted to do something different than just raise money for a cause, he said. (This way) people get the chance to come over and see the house. The community gets to see what greek life is about. Guests had the opportiuiit ' to make a donation to benefit the United Way, Hart said, and the toys left after the open house were also donated. Both the voung and the college-aged enjoyed the afternoon, Stuchlik said. We ' re having candy and having fun, he said. Everything we have is pine sugar. The kids are going to be wired.

In October, Justine Sterling, junior in agricultural com- munications, was selected as a national FFA officer. Instead of attending classes and sororitv activities. Sterling spent the year training, traveling and speaking at FFA conferences aroimd the coiuitry and world. FFA is such a cool organization because it provides opportu- nities for so many different kinds of people, Sterling said. It ' s not just for people who want to be farmers. It ' s for everyone. As the central region vice president. Sterling was one of only six FFA members selected to serve at the national level. When she found out about her position in October, she took a year- long break from classes and went to Indianapolis, where she and the other officers spent the remainder of the fall semester preparing for the spring, which was filled with trips across the coimtry and to Japan to speak at FFA conferences. Sterling said her involvement with FFA in high school made her want to pursue a national office, although she was not always confident about her chances. At first, I was really nervous (about being a national offi- cer), Sterling said. I didn ' t feel like I was very qualified, but I knew that if I didn ' t do it, I ' d probablv regret it. Sterling said the women of Chi Omega were supportive of her efforts and accomplishments, even if they did not imder- stand exactly what she was doing.

They ' re so diverse, but they were all really excited for me. Jayme Markey, senior in apparel marketing and design, said although the women were diverse, many of them were leaders like Sterling. Over half of us (at Chi Omega) have some kind of leader- ship position on campus or in another organization, Markey said. A bimch of us are interested and involved in a lot of dif- ferent things. Because she was busy with state FFA business and preparing t ' ov national office. Sterling said she often was absent from Chi Omega activities. All the girls are there for you all the time, Sterling said. Even thotigh I wasn ' t around a lot, they were supportive and they loved me just the same. They knew I was preparing (for national office), and each week at chapter, they ' d all ask how my preparations were going. Adriane Moss, Chi Omega member and jiuiior in music edu- cation, said Sterling was missed during her time away. The time she had to spend with us was really precious because she was so busy, Moss said. But when she was there, she was talking and laughing right along with everyone else. Moss said Sterling worked to stay in touch with her fellow C:hi Omegas through phone calls, online conversations and postcards. She ' s really thoughtfid and good at keeping in touch with everyone, Moss said. I think the world of her. She ' s a role model for all of us. J46 jjeople i ciii omega Jessica Crowder Olathe, Kan.

The four-day event included a brotherhood bonding event Wednesday, a beach night with the women of C ' hi Omega Thurs- day, a luau-themed date partv Friday night, and an exclusive list party Saturday, complete with the live band Piuify. My favorite part was the live band, Russell Giesen, sophomore in horticulture, said. It culminated the whole week, and we went out with a bang. It took more work to tiun their parking lot into a beach than one would think. All day long, members took shifts to shovel 12 tons of sand. It was worth it, Grant Groene, junior in agronomy, said. Evervbodv had a great time. Since it is right before dead week, it is great to just let loose and have a good time before they buckle down for finals. However, it was not all fun and games. The bonfire Saturday led to a dangerous predicament for Jacob A. Nelson, senior in architectural engineering. His relief came from a tropical water- fall, which flowed from their back balcony into a horse tank con- verted into a makeshift pool. He was a little too close to the bonfire trying to get warm and trying to cook his marshmallows and he lit his pants on fire, Zach Hauser, junior in political science, said. He freaked out and ran and jumped into our amazing tropical fountain. Members spent Sunchu ' taking shifts to clean up all the sand. The members have to shovel the sand up, Dustin Taylor, senior in mechanical engineering, said. It ' s the price you pay for having a party all week. i cltachi Joe Lane El Dorado, Kan.

The house, featured on the McCain Holiday Homes Tour, welcomed the public to their home, Dec. 4. Along with five other homes. Tri-Delt members decorated the main floor of their house for the tour. Karen Robbins, Tfi-Delt housemother, with the help of a few women, spent two weeks decorating the house. Robbins owned most of the decorations. I have a nativity scene that I ' ve have for years and years, she said. Most of my decorations are things I have had for a long, long time. A lot of girls have given me things in the past that mean a lot to me. Two Tri-Delt women greeted the guests as they came through the entryway, where they could sign up for a raffle for McCain performance tickets. Greeters stood in different sec- tions of the main floor to inform guests about the house and various rooms. Alesia McNutt, freshman in modern languages, greeted guests in the formal room where she stood by the Christmas tree.

McNutt said women also stood in the social room to speak to guests, and three or four people passed out refreshments in a dining room. Robbins said a lot of the women helped with the tour, and they rotated in and out of different rooms, where some stayed an hour or two. Carolyn McKain and her daughter-in-law, Elaina, Manhattan residents, toured the Tri-Delt h ouse. My favorite room was the formal room with the fireplace, Carolyn said. It was interesting that they had the two chairs that only seniors could sit in. Carol Dodderidge, a volunteer for Friends of McCain, helped with the tour and said a group of eight to 10 people spent a year discussing which homes would be nice to feature on the tour. People contact the owners and see if they are interested and willing to do it, Dodderidge said. It ' s a big commitment for the homeowners. Robbins said the tour was a good experience for her and the women. We are proud of our house, Robbins said. It was fun to have everyone, and the girls loved it and had a great time. 11.

Mo ' ing the wheelbarrow with 100 pounds of sand was the hardest part, Nolan Hen- derson, senior in family and consumer education, said. It was pretty wobbly. Members performed commu- nity service Sept. 19 at the Flint Hills Job Corps Child Develop- ment Center. Delta Sigs cut trees, trimmed hedges, moved sand, removed weeds, fixed doors and filled sandboxes. We ' re glad this is happen- ing, Evelyne Salay, senior lead teacher, said.

Over the years, you know how things go (they get run down), she said. We ' re pleased to have (Delta Sigs) help. The sand is quite the project. Henderson said the house planned to help at the center two or three times throughout the semester. The state doesn ' t like to pay for people to do the dirty work, he said. We ' re doin g something good for mankind. Delta Sigs participated in a familiar activity — community service, Curtis Schwieterman, jimior in geography, said. Some house members previously helped with Habitat for Human- ity and soup kitchens in the Kansas City metropolitan area. We also take trips to the New Mexico area — places that really need help, Schwieter- man said. It ' s not that hard. It ' s all in a day ' s work. Those who helped at the child development center elected not to participate in their philan- thropy activity — mud volleyball — that same day. I ' m better off doing manual labor than volleyball in the mud, Henderson said. I ' m a stud. I can cut off those big branches. While shoveling the sand into wheelbarrows, Delta Sigs managed to get sand on themselves, purposefully and accidentally. Ryan Mills, junior in construction science and management, hit Joe Sanders, junior in accounting, in the face with a shovel of sand on accident. That ' s what the kids do, too, Salay said. They throw the sand around (like the Delta Sigs). ■ilr;- ' ■■Hi- JW people I i ' lm sigma phi ¥ Joe Krehbiel Wichita Mechanical Engineering • FR ■ Sean Monaghan Columbia. Mo.

E ery five years, we try to have a big anniversary because it is hard for the alumni to come back every year, so we try to do it every five, Ryan Weber, senior in marketing, said. It was a big event to organize. .About 100 alimini came back. Members began planning for the 85th anniversary in fall 2003 for the big event to happen in late May. On a Friday night, they rented Rusty ' s Last Chance Restaurant and Saloon in . ggie ille for a social night. Saturday, there was a golf toinnament at Colbert Hills dining the day, and that night they had a banquet at the Holi- day Inn. Their event concluded Sunday with a brunch and toiu ' of the K-State Alumni Center. J. Vince Robertson, senior in marketing, said many of the aliunni had not seen the Alumni Center yet and it was reward- ing to see their responses to how the campus and fraternity had changed. It just touches you, realizing how you are part of this great fraternity and so many men have gone before you and you are all connected, he said. When you see the whole big picture, it is a great feeling. More than 100 alumni attended and offered their successors lessons from their past.

To achieve the accolade. Smith trained year roiuid in cross-country rims and weight training with his brother, Trevor Smith, member of Delta Upsilon and senior in agricul- tural economics. One major advantage that we have is that we keep each other accountable, Trevor said. It might be easier to take a rest day, or slack off a little on a hard workout, but when we are training together, neither one of us wants to let the other one down. Both members of Delta Upsilon said their bond as brothers grew in more than one sense. I ' ve lived with n y brother for the past three years and we get along really well, Christian said. He is a part of my train- ing group. After Trevor joined the fraternity his freshman year, Christian decided to follow in Tre ' or s footsteps. Christian and 1 have always been close, so I wasn ' t surprised when he decided to join Delta Upsilon, Trevor said. It was great to be able to live with him for a couple of years in the house. In addition to living together, the duo participated in the same work-out groups for their track and cross-country training. Although the brothers were competitive with their training, Trevor supported Christian with his victories as Big 12 Champion and qualifying for the Olympic trials. It makes me proud to see Christian accomplish what he has, Trevor said. I like to think that maybe a little bit of my influence has helped him to experience some of his success. As Christian approached the end of his college career, he kept one goal in mind. Hopefully, 1 will still be rimning no matter what, Chris- tian said. I really want to see the 2008 Olympics. 4 JIU people elm Lipsilon I Perched on a ledge in Hale Library, Adrian Webb, freshman in open-option, uses her cell phone to call friends.

The past three years, members of the fraternity shagged the team ' s volleyballs during practice and games. When the contract was given by the Department of Intercolle- giate Athletics, it was the responsibility of the house to determine who would work. A sign-up sheet hung in the house and it was up to members to work around their schedule, Tyler Hands, senior in nulling science and management, said. The two men arrived one hour ahead of game time to help set up. Conflicts arose when home games were on Wednesday nights during the fraternity ' s chapter time. Grant Helmers, senior in finance, said. The job of a shagger consisted of retrieving loose volleyballs, wiping off sweat, helping the referees and returning clean balls to servers. We help out as much as we can, C. Alex Holste, senior in agri- cultural technology management, said. Officials appreciate it. We receive compliments all the time, so we must be doing a good job. The money raised by the shagging went toward house mem- bers ' house bills or placed into a philanthropy fund, Holste said. We are there to work, Helmers said. We rotate so much that it is hard to get a true personal relationship with each player, but when we show up, the women always take time to say ' hi. ' FarmHovise planned to continue to help the team until the athletic department ends the contract. That is it, Helmers said. It is a pretty easy gig. It is a lot of fun and a wonderful opportunity and a different kind of experience. |0 ' f I At J , I ' m iman in aigrt- cultural economics, reaches for the ball «d by Grant t, senior in finanSfe.

Pledging to keep morale high and to show a commitment to chapter involvement, President Andrea Brown said the 2001 New Member Class comprised the strongest senior pledge class in four years. Our goal before starting our senior year was to remain active in the house and not become the almost ' typical seniors ' who disappear halfwav through the semester, Kate Collings, senior in history, said. We wanted to stay involved, be an excel- lent example of leadership to yoimger members and keep the morale of the house high. The senior pledge class remained involved with chapter activities, even if they were not officers. I think having a class that is active for all four years is some- thing that is rarely seen, Brown, senior in psychology, said. We are the role models and impact how others feel about Theta. It ' s nice to have girls show that it is a four-year process. The senior women ' s dedication began their freshmen year when they became initiated. I firmly believe that our pledge class has, from our fresh- men year, had the thought that every single sister is impor- tant and special, no matter her diversity from yourself, Alyse Howell, senior in psychology, said. We all imderstand that each of us are striving for the best life for ourselves, even if that means one sister wants to be a homemaker while another wants to further her career by attending law school. I think we support each other no matter what, and if one of us is ever in trouble or needs help, we are always there in a second to defend and help each other. The 2001 New Member Class had 34 women actively involved during their senior year, whether they lived in house or off campus. When we all moved out of the house after oiu sophomore year and realized that we never really got to hang out all that much anymore, we began planning all kinds of things for our- selves in order to give us all that chance to continue spending time together, Collings said. I think that we ' ve stayed so close because we ' ve made such a conscious effort as a group for it to stay that way. We were all very close while within the house, and I don ' t think that anyone wanted to see that go away once we all went our separate ways. At least once a month, the seniors assembled to talk about pledge class accomplishments or to have fun with senior nights in Aggieville. Brown said the senior women composed a group of life-long friends. Being involved in this group has given me an amazing sup- port system, she said. I know when I have a problem they will be there, just like I ' ll always be there for them. We delegate and share responsibility so we can see everything we want to have happen happens.

I ' m not a big partier, but this week I ' ve been kind of crazy, Derek Cochran, junior in secondary education, said. Since it ' s dead week, I decided to go all out since I ' ll be sober next week. Jason Madison, junior in architectmal engineering, said week- day parties rarely occurred. They ' re just doing it tonight, Madison said. They ' re just trying to have a good time before they have to study for finals. While other members partied Dec. 8, Madison spent his eve- ning in a different part of the house, working on a project for one of his classes. I ' m going to be working on this final drawing, he said. This is going to take me a while to do, so I figured I ' d better get started on it. This is our type of final. Part ing helped members relax, and they also exchanged gifts among members. I gave oin president a pair of women ' s underwear and some condoms, Stuart Singleton, junior in business administration, said. He ' s kind of a larger guy — I jnsl thought he ' d look cute. They ' re just gag gifts. Singleton said he planned to study instead of party. I just figured I ' d study during the week, he said. I ' ll have the weekend to party. Others let the evening take its course and did not think about finals imtil later. We ' re going out with a bang. Stewart Swander, junior in industrial engineering, said.

In the last two years, their involvement increased 100 percent outside the fraternity, including high positions with campus organizations. Br ' cc Huschka, junior in industrial engineering, was a student body president can- didate in spring 2004 but was defeated by Hayley Urkevich, senior in finance. He also planned to run in the spring 2005 election. Alex Ball, jiuiior in marketing, was one of 10 Greek Ambassadors. Other active members included Joel Whitworth, senior in human resource management, and Ted Urbanek, senior in finance, who served on the Interfra- ternity Coimcil. Whitworth served as the community events coordinator, and Urbanek filled the cjffice of director of judicial affairs. Huschka ran for student body president because he felt his past involvement with various campus organiza- tions gave him an edge on his competition. He said he was able to represent the views of a multitude of students. Lambda Chi also presented him with a diverse group of acquaintances. As a greek asmbassador. Ball promoted a greek community to both incoming freshman and non-greeks. Ambassadors volun- teered to teach the benefits of the greek lifestyle and promote the university. Other promoters of the greek community included members of the Interfraternity Council, who oversaw elements of the fraternity ' s finances, judicial policies and mediated between the fraternities and the university faculty. They also imposed sanctions if a frater- nity did not abide by the code of conduct. I got involved with Interfra- ternity Council (because) I held a few offices at Lambda Chi and H I decided I wanted to take the next step, Whitworth said. I want to be a part of the bigger picture. LJrbanek said he became involved because he hoped to further a positive image of the greek community. You learn so many different things from so many different people every day, Huschka said. It shows you what the real world is like and allows you to benefit from their knowledge. Regardless of their in olve- ment, members of Lambda Chi boasted their unique brother- hood. It offers a place that excels in brotherhood, academics, intramurals, or just hanging out and having a great time, Whitworth said. We have a wide spectrum of people, but we form one strong, unique bond. Lhbanek said the diversity the fraternity offered through its members and involvement helped make their members well-rounded.

Their float in the annual Salina Christmas Parade was a vintage green truck and trailer complete with 4,150 lights. The volimie of lights shorted out their generator dining the parade. Nicholas Colgrove, jimior in computer science technology, said he didn ' t see it as a bad omen. It was all part of the plan, Colgrove said. It created suspense. Members planned the design for a month, worked on construc- tion for foiu days and often stayed up initil 4 a.m. to work on the float. They designed a sign made of 1,500 purple lights, which depicted their greek letters. Other parts of their float included a Christmas tree, their fraternity ' s flags, ninnerous K-State signs and two drill-powered, foam airplanes spinning above members who belted out Christmas greetings and songs to fight off the bitter winter air. We wanted to get more involved with this community, Karl Bergstrom, senior in mechanical engineering, said. This is a good way for us to come to the commimity itself. The parade not only allowed the fraternity to bond with the conummitv, but also allowed members to imify and have fim. It has been a big teamwork builder, Mason Libby, freshman in engineering technologv, said. It has been a lot of fun. Ten men from the residence halls started Phi Delta Theta in 1999, making it the only greek organization on the Salina campus. In some cases. Phi Delts found this to their advantage. It made forming the Interfraternity Coimcil easy, Bergstrom said. Their growing chapter and the opportimities it presented to their members left them satisfied. Due to the small size of the campirs, the fraternity offered an imrivaled commimity. Libby said he found a place to belong at the fraternity, Chris Laws, senior in airway science, agreed with him. What I like about Phi Delta Theta is the brotherhood, Laws said. Everybody is doing everything together and having a good time.

Members of the K-State and the University of Kansas Fiji chapters ran along U.S. Highway 24 between Manhattan and Lawrence on Oct. 8, and raised a total of $30,000 for the Leuke- mia and Lymphoma Society. A 31-year tradition, the rim began in 1974, when Fiji Rod Morgan suffered leukemia. Two weeks before he died, his friends decided to do some- thing for him, Tom Bauer, social chair and senior in finance, said. They decided to run and do it right before he died. We kept it up every year. All Fijis participated in raising the $20,000 K-State s chapter contributed. The men looked to local businesses and commu- nity members, as well as those in their hometowns for dona- tions. Fiji akmini, who went to K-State when Morgan attended, continue to donate monev, Bauer said. Bauer said the fraternity exphasized the importance of gen- erating community action to fight leukemia and cancer. Ninety-five percent of people our age haven ' t had death touch their lives, Bauer said. Yoimg people can have anything touch their lives — bad things. (Morgan) was a big, athletic guy, and he got sick and no one could do anything. While the entire house participated in raising the $20,000 donated by the K-State chapter, only 30 ran the distance to KU, along with 20 Fijis from KU. Each had a different reason for participating. The reason I love to do it is because I love getting everyone Frank Baker Arkansas City. Kan. Open-Option • SO Lyndsey Barclay Broken Arrow, Okla- Microbiology • FR Paul Bartley Abilene, Kan.

Leukemia affected many members of Trey Barclay ' s family. He said while his family members fought the disease and won, he knew others not so fortunate. There ' s always the feeling that vou could have done more, Barclay, freshman in microbiology, said. We had a set goal, and we surpassed that goal. We always beat KU in the money-raising, and that ' s motivation to raise more money. Bauer sa id the local chapter strived to raise between $18,000 and $20,000. They raised $20,000, while KU ' s Fiji chapter raised $10,000, to reach a combined total of $30,000. The money raised this year brought Fiji ' s 31-year donation total to $500,000. Tyler Webb, president andjunior in manage- ment, said Fiji served as the biggest donor to the Leukemia and Lymphoma Society in the Midwest region. The most rewarding part of the run is presenting the check to the society, he said. The research is coming along, and the future is bright for the research they ' ve been doing, working towards a cure. Bauer said seeing the faces of Morgan ' s parents when Fiji gave a $30,000 check to the society at the K-State vs. KU football game Oct. 9 was rewarding.

The murder stimned her family and friends, includ- ing her Pi Beta Phi sorority sisters. After Kemp ' s death, her family developed the Ali Kemp Foimdation. Oct. 19, after Greek 101, Pi Phi joined forces with Alpha Tau Omega to sponsor the Pi Phi ATO Band- stand, benefiting their deceased sister ' s foimdation. It raised over $5,00U (for the foundation), said Heather O ' Connor, senior in fine arts and Pi Phi member. The foundation fimds self-defense classes for women in their teens and 20s, free to women all over the United States. The event was the brainchild of O ' Connor ' s, a pledge sister of Kemp. A girl in our house had talked to Mr. Kemp and we hadn ' t clone anvthing to raise money in her name, so I sat down to come up with something we could do, O ' Connor said. We had a philanthropy like it about 12 years ago and I looked on Pi Phi Web sites at other schools and found this at the Stanford site. Once the idea was spawned, it seemed natural for ATO to be the co-sponsoring fraternity. Ali was really good friends with a lot of ATOs when she was at K-State, O ' Connor said. They were really aware of the case and Mr. Kemp knows a lot of those guys, and we knew we wanted to have a fraternity Michelle Aberdeen Overland Park, Kan.

It was such a great philanthropy because of its implication on a larger scale, Josh Ault, junior in microbiology and ATO president, said. It was great for us to be a part of it. We do what we can for the greater good of others. Kemp ' s family has been involved with the Pi Phi chapter, helping the women deal with the loss they experienced and support them in efforts to commemo- rate her life. Mr. Kemp was in contact with Heather and I from the get go, Aidt said. Before we even had the idea, throughout the planning process, the day before and the night of, he was involved. His involvement was never really a question. He was always a presence in the philanthropy. Twenty days after Bandstand, the man believed to be Kemp ' s killer was apprehended in Connecticut and charged with her murder. The man, Benjamin Appleby, operated a pool cleaning service in the area when Kemp was murdered. The Johnson County Dis- trict Attorney sought the death penalty during the trial planned for February 2005. She was an amazing girl; she was loved by every- one; everyone strived to be more like her, said Katie Copeland, senior in secondary education and pledge class sister.

Crable The men of Pi Kappa Alpha followed the lead of the Lance Armstrong Foundation ' s sales of wristbands by creating their own. Proceeds for the pmple wristbands, which went on sale in early November and bear the Powercat logo, benefitted the Ali Kemp Foundation and the American Cancer Society. The wrist- bands sold for $4, and the house hoped to raise $2,500, to be split evenly between the two organizations, RussYocum, senior in sociology, said. Brandon Damas, Pi Kappa Alpha president andjvmior in architectural engineering, said the philanthropic efforts have produced a positive response from the campus and Manhattan community, as well as the Kansas City metropolitan area. So far, people think it s a really good idea, Damas said. I spread the word in Kansas C ity when I went home for Thanks- giving break. Everyone wants one for their family, their friends and themselves. Yocum said the house members got the idea for the project because so many of his brothers were touched by Kemp and her family. Many of oiu members knew Ali Kemp personally, Yoctun said. Everyone in our house has some sort of connection to Dorothy Claycamp Manhattan Housemother Jeremy Anteroia Liberty, Mo.

Damas said and many members of the fraternity also have had friends or family who have dealt with cancer in one form or another. We ' ve seen cancer survivors firsthand, Damas said. We worked with Relay for Life last year, and we ' ve seen how huge an issue it is. I was really moved by it. Besides the fact that the fimds raised by wristband sales ben- efited both organizations, Yocum said sales for the wristbands were high because they were part of a national trend. We think that it will be a success because of the popularity of the Lance Armstrong bracelets and other versions of it, Yocum said. Plus, K-State doesn ' t have them yet, whereas other schools do. Ali Kemp, then a freshinan, was found dead from severe head injuries in the pump room of a swimming pool in Leawood, Kan., in June 2002. hi November, after more than two years of investigation, police arrested 29-year-old Benjamin Appleby in Connecticut. Appleby confessed to attempted rape and murder; prosecutors in Johnson County charged the man with first-degree murder. f 404 people i kappa alpha iL ' t sfe )m Jeff Faike Leawood, Kan.

Every t vo years, members attended the Grand Chapter National Convention. Held in July, the 2004 convention met in St. Louis, said William Scot Gammill, junior in journalism and mass communications and vice president. Basically, the 202 chapters of Sigma Nu send delegates to the convention, Kevin Krinnholtz, sophomore in social science and president, said. They hear semi- nars and accept awards. The attendees spent four days participating in different seminars, coxering recruitment techniques, anti-hazing, com- munity services and program- ming, Krumholtz said. The men learned how other chapters operated and ways to improve their own, he said. It was just good to get together and make your chap- ter more accoimtable about recruitment, Brent Parker, junior in inciustrial engineer- ing, said. They gave a lot of information and suggestions. Parker said that even though he no longer held posi- tions in the house, he helped out those who took over posi- tions he had, sharing ideas and information he received at the convention. Besides seminars, Krum- holtz said delegates attended the awards banquet on the last night of the convention. We got the Rock Chapter award, which is given to the top seven chapters (in the nation), Gammill said. We were the first chapter to win it three times in a row, which was awesome. To receive the Rock Award, the chapter answered a ques- tionnaire over chapter improve- ment, recruitment, olficer responsibilities and house- related topics. Krumholtz said all the officers helped to make their 100-page answer. The chapter won other awards such as the Manpower Award, for retaining over 80 members in their chapter; LEAD (Leadership, Ethic, Achievement and Develop- ment); Community Service Award, for the amount of inoney made and projects completed; and the Pursuit of Excellence Award, a written report about the improvements of the chap- ter, which received a score of 102 out of 110. Krinnholtz said. My favorite part is meeting presidents and vice presidents from other chapters and having them ask us what we do to win, Gammill said. It ' s nice getting recognition.

' Tlei opiii n1 tka 1 HI Tl anil 4j:o people i icta i Eilert finds life path by Leslie Marsha After sjDending liis suninu-r cariiii ' tor a pliv.sicall disabled patient at a imiscular d stroph camp, Stephen Eilert, senior in biology, found his inspiration in hfe — medicine. Along with his contributions to the muscular dystrophy camp, Eilert also gave time to his fraternity, Theta Xi. Stephen is an incredibly dedicated member of the frater- nity. said Matt P. Mvers, senior in accounting and president of Theta Xi. He sets a great example for others b)- always being optimistic and working hard. He is constantly willing to help out in whatever wav possible and is simplv a great brother. W ' idi a full workload, Eilert made time for acti ities on top of classes. I took 19 hours this semester, but I always make time for the house, Eilert said. I have to set my priorities early in order to accomplish my goals later. Eilert s determination to become a family doctor in a small rural town began three years ago when he oliinteercd as a counselor at the camp, vhere he created a bond with one of the campers. The bond is a friendship, Eilert said. 1 km nv I have grown a friendship with him. and 1 kno v it means a lot to me as well as to him. Eilert said over the last three years he enjoyed receiving e-mails and letters from his camper, and looked forward to the time he spent with him during school breaks. The summer camp served as the highlight of the year for most of the campers. Eilert said. The campers participated in activities, such as fishing and swimming. At camp, thev can do all the stuff regular kids can do, Eilert said. They get to have fun and participate in activities they usually wouldn ' t be able to do. At the camp, counselors ser ' e as the campers ' temporary parents. I help him get up, get dressed, eat and participate in his activities, Eilert said. It was an eye-opening experience. It made me want to go into the medical field with kids because I felt like I was making a positive difference. When Eilert took time away from the muscular dystrophy camp during breaks, he busied himself at his local hospital as a Certified Nurses Aide to gain more experience in the medical field. I eventually want to go to medical school, Eilert said. I envision working in a family practice in the future. Besides his aspirations of becoming a doctor, Eilert ]3artici- pated in Theta Xi as a member of the executive board, house manager, homecoming chair and chairman for Theta Xi ' s phi- lanthropy. Miracle Mile, which took place in March. I tiy to invoKe ni self in organizations that will benefit me later in life, Eilert said. It ' s just a matter of keeping my priorities straight. Eilert said his involvement extended bevond his house. He participated in S.H.A.P.E. (Sexual Health Awareness Peer Educa- tors) and Chimes Junior Honorary Society, an organization that promoted scholarship, leadership and service. He really has a great moral presence about him, Chance Lee, sophomore in business administration, said. You can always turn to him for advice regardless of what other people think about the issue.

Crable C ' lint-nt nu ' inbcrs and alumni gathered Sept. 18 in celebration of Trianujle ii aiernit ' s 4()th annixersarv. The men gathered to reflect on the liaternilx ' s past and look to its liitiire, said Eric Goff, Triangle president and senior in mechanical engineering. The Triangle men and Iraternitv alumni tailgated before the football game against Louisiana-Lafayette on Sept. 18. After the game, they participated in a tour of the campus ' engineering facilities, led bv the Engineering Ambassadors. The men capped off the dav with a picnic in Annebiug Park, Goff said. Brian McSpadden, jimior in information systems, said the event was important for all involved in the fraternity, which began at K- State on Sept. 7, 1964. It increases alumni invohement, which is important, McSpad- den said, h makes us look back and see the history of our 40 vears. Some fraternities come and go, and others last a lot longer. This is a big milestone for us. Goff said he, too, was impressed with Triangle ' s longevity. I think the fact that we are still here after 40 vears says a lot about the chapter, Goff said. We must be doing something right. I believe celebrating milestones like this one encourages us to look back on where we came from, learn from the lessons of the past and apply that when we are planning for the future. It also gives our alumni a chance to get together and catch up and meet the younger guys. Since the fraternity ' s chapter was foimded in 1964, many of its founding members are still alive and involved, Goff said. This chance to network with the chapter ' s foimding members was an advantage for the chapter and its ciurent members, he said. I do know some of the founders, and they are exceptional men that have done some great things since their time here at K-State. They are the type of men that we actives hope to become, Goff said. A couple of them even still help support the chapter. They come to alumni meetings, donate time and money, and share advice and wisdom gained from their years of experi- ence. 1 Ak Jacob Powell Leon.

Horticulture • SR brotherly love J by Kristen Day The youngest of three brothers, Seth Buckley, junior in sociol- ogy, said he was reluctant to join Air Force ROTC. I didti ' t know if I could put my family through it again, Buck- ley said. That was the hardest decision of the whole thing. What Seth did not want to put his family through again traced back to his brother Nathanial. Nathanial was an ROTC graduate from the University of Kansas in 2000. In 2002, Nathanial was killed in a training exercise when his plane crashed in Puerto Rico. Jay Burgess, who grew up with Seth and his brother Nathanial, said he thought Seth was trying to finish what his brother started. I think he ' s trying to fulfill his brother ' s life since his was cut short, Biugess, sophomore in biology, said. He didn ' t really start talking about the military imtil his brother died so I think that ' s why he reallv wanted to join. Garett Rubv, senior in sociology, said he thought Seth was brave and coinageous for what he did. He ' s seen the worst thing that could happen but still wants to do it, Ruby said. I don ' t know if it ' s his love for flying or the coun- try — I don ' t know what it is. Seth said despite the loss of his brother, his family still sup- ported his decision. (1 think) my mom is really scared and my dad doesn ' t say much, Buckley said, but I think they ' re proud. Seth said the minute something like this hit home, it made him realize what was reallv going on. It ' s not just my brother that made this sacrifice, there are many people who do it everyday, Buckley said. I don ' t feel like I ' m doing more than the person next to me — it just hit closer. 4J4 people I ' nington-bct . t I In front of Durland Hall, Setfi Buckley, junior in sociology, leads members of the Air Force ROTC as they work through training exercises. Buckley joined ROTC soon after his brother, Nathanial, also in the Air Force, was killed in a crash in 2002. He was o mentor to me, Buckley said. He taught me a lot about what I needed to be successful. I thought he was a success- ful person. Photo by Lindsey Bauman ■■ i? f V .2iM i Amanda Arrington Haysville, Kan.

We welcome applicants from all majors, at all academic levels, from freshmen to graduate students. Kansas State Collegian daily newspaper The Collegian has been produced by K-State students for K- State students since 1896. With a 11,000 press run each weekday morning of fall and spring semesters, the paper is one of the state ' s largest morning dailies. To help fund Collegian production, its student advertising staff sells more than $500,000 in display advertising each year. Another $270,000 in support comes from student activity fees. The fee serves as a subscription for K-State students, who pick up the paper at more than 75 drop-off points on campus and in Manhattan, as well as at K-State-Salina. Collegian readership exceeds that of commercial newspapers. Royal Purple yearbook A staff of 14 students produces the Royal Purple yearbook, delivered to students at the end of the spring semester. In addition to the traditional production aspects of copy, photography and design, the staff is also responsible for marketing and sales. At 496 pages in the spring 2005 edition, the Royal Purple is one of the nation ' s most- renowned college yearbooks. K-Staters purchase nearly 4,000 books each year. The yearbook staff also produces a DVD supplement with audio and video highlights of each school year, as well as the New Student Record for incoming students. Campus Phone Book As soon as records become available in the fall semester. Student Pub produces the Campus Phone Book for students, faculty and staff. The directory usually goes on sale in late September. The book also contains a section of student policies and procedures from the Office of Student Activities. Awards The Collegian and Royal Purple are one of the nation ' s most honored college newspaper and yearbook tandems. Five times in the past 14 years — for 1992-93, 1993-94, 1997-98, 1999-2000 and 2000-01 - both publications simultaneously won the Associated Collegiate Press Pacemaker award — the Pulitzer Prize of collegiate publications. No other university had a newspaper and yearbook win Pacemakers in those years. And in spring 2004 and spring 2003, K-State was the only school in the nation whose yearbook and newspaper won Gold Crowns, the top national prize from Columbia Scholastic Press Association. No other collegiate yearbook can match the Royal Purple ' s stream of top honors. The Royal Purple has won 14 consecutive ACP Pacemakers and 15 Gold Crown awards in the past 15 years.

Photo by Chris Hanewinckel remarkable Letter from the editors With a smaller staff than normal, a solid core of dedicated staff mem- bers worked tirelessly to produce 496 pages of K-State remarkable. Staff goals included marketing, meeting all deadlines, increasing exposure to the DVD and having good communication. We started out the year on a healthy food kick, but later regressed to the chocolate and Pepsi. We ate everything from Linda ' s famous cui- sine to Jen ' s mom ' s cookies. Monthly treats continued for the third con- secutive year. We laughed; we cried; we were hysterical. Conversations included everything from a potato placed you don ' t want to know where to what is your sexual flavor. Oh, and learn- ing the exact location where Corbin was conceived was more information than some of us wanted to know. Dead animals seemed to find their way into the office, resulting in Brie chasing Mary with a dead bat, and a squirrel in Linda ' s parking spot. Alex had a fetish with floss under- wear and colorful balls. Kristen, Corbin and others had a fascination with Napolean Dynamite and still wish it was the theme for this year ' s book. Porter knew exactly how to suc- tion cups. We decided that Porter ' s new position is being the grand- mother of the staff. Chris Ballard held a strong posi- tion against one way to save Mother Earth — recycling. Megan enter- tained us during the long work hours with her contagious laugh, which, more often that not, tinned into snorting. We never really saw Hanewinckel as he was always out on photo assign- ments. The RP also became know as the dark side as we stole two staff members from the Collegian. Despite the long hours, relation- ships thrived — some known, some secret. We became friends and supported each other through the tremendous responsibility of produc- ing this book, hoping it will be well- received by the campus.

Whether it was piuting condoms on bananas while blindfolded or assisting in a nonstop solo flight aroinid the world, students and faculty continued the K-State tradition of excellence through education and fun, in spite of any obstacles that stood in their way. The desire to sticceed in the face of challenge is more char- acteristic of K-State than other universities, Michael Holen, dean of the College of Education, said. Doing well seems to be a big attitude of the whole campus. Whether that drive was to succeed in athletics, student organi- zations, studies and research or the Wildcat spirit, the dedication to the university ' s way of life helped draw potential students and other visitors, causing a boom in the college ' s population. Outsiders say this campus has a friendly atmosphere, Stephen White, dean of the College of Arts and Sciences, said. They sense that hen they talk to faculty on recruitment trips. University President Jon Wefald said he found many aspects of K-State to be remarkable and characteristic of what K-State had become and what it will continue to be. We have a reputation around the state and around the coim- try for being student-centered, for friendliness and for a faculty that is accessible to students, Wefald said.
