. «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 ?

Cosmic bowlers take over K- State Student Union Bowling Alley as students seek alternatives to Friday night parties Under the Lights y by Mary Bershenyi Pulsating music, a swirling disco ball and black lights took over the K-State Student Union Bowling Alley every Friday. 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

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
