People often say college is the best four years of your life. VVhat you make of it is up to you, and the people you surround yourself with impact the years that are soon to follow. Whether it is the beginning ofa new journey or the continuation of one, students are taking the initiative to plan for their future. For some, it means leaving behind friends from high school, and for others it's carrying those friendships to each milestone in college. Most decide on a major, a passion, a career and most importantly who they are as an individual. What happens during your short years at the university are small a path which most people hope to travel the rest of their life. It sets the stage for your future. Students are setting their own trends and making decisions that open up many opportunities for the years to come. Each person has a chance to earn the grade they deserve, make the team they have fought endlessly for and stand up for a belief he or she feels so passionate about. The university is continuously pushing the limits and is on the horizon of expansion. As a university, we are on the cutting edge of technology and moving forward in size, academics, athletics and organizations. As a whole, we are at the starting line. The beginning of an exam. The last few credit hours. We are on the forefront. 3- 1 4 W xml ,. -, I .vm ----A .1, M. ' . V ' 'f.

The atmosphere of this two-day event shone through, both for the fans and behind the scenes. Behind the scenes you can't act like a fanfi Halsey said. lt's a business. It's cool seeing alumni come back and get their posters and team schedules. What makes our Fan Experience Program great is the fact that we cater to what our fans want. Being a fan myself, I can say that having the teams appear at Purple Power Play was a great way for both the teams and the fans to feed off each other and create a great atmosphere to start the athletic season.

On Moy l2, hundreds of students ghothered outsi e Hole ot l p.m. to tuke on unusuol study breok-ond to toke ole on by storm. Students who had been studying upstairs leaned over the banisters and watched the chaos below. A speaker system had been set up, and an 18-minute song played a nonstop mix of techno that ended with the Wabash and the K-State fight song. Although the music was difficult to hear over the roar of the crowd, the repetitive chant of K-S-Ui' was loud and unmistakably heard by anyone near Hale. U1 made a Facebook group for it on a Mondayfi Timmy Specht, senior, said. 1 invited all my friends at K-State which was about 150. I just said invite your friends and did a little description of what we were going to do. I created the group at about midnight, and by 1 or 2 a.m. there were between 600 to 1000 confirmed people already. Facebook exploded the eventf' Campuses nationwide participated in similar spontaneous raves that had required the police to disassemble, sometimes resulting in the arrest or injury of students. With the expected attendance, Specht thought it might be best to inform the authorities of the upcoming library rave. The library was already aware of the rave, and appreciated the contact from Specht. 'lWe were aware of raves that had taken place without incident in other libraries, and we based our response, in part, on their experiencesf Lori Goetsch, dean of K-State Libraries, said. 'iAlso, since the rave was for a limited time, we decided that the disruption was tolerable. Although students danced on tables that had computers on them and pushed through the metal detectors at the entrance, little damage was done to the library. l'One of those green signs that hangs from the ceiling got unhooked while someone was crowd surfing, Specht said. Another student grabbed it and returned it to the help desk. One of the librarians that keeps a blog on the KSU website said they were going to replace those green signs anyways, so it was finef, The rave at Hale was covered by local media stations as well as Topeka's WIBW and KCTV5 and KMBC out of Kansas City. A few days later, footage of the rave also appeared on CNN during Morning Express with Robin Meade. The rave at Hale Library was probably one of the coolest things that I have ever seen, Pete Smith, freshman in construction science, said. uit was amazing how the majority of campus came together for such an event. It was one gigantic party that consisted of glow sticks, drunk people, boom boxes, and a huge line. Not every college campus can say that they have raved at their library.

'KThe Cheer samples are actually whatls behind the theme of Bright Outf' Frerking said. 'cTheir motto is ckeep your clothes cheery and bright', so it just worked really well with what we wanted to promote. From 11-3p.m. ReadyU representatives took photos, videos, and signatures in hopes to dominate the competition. Frerking was especially into the idea of beating KU.

The students love getting involved and they responded well to thisf' Yet there were some students that felt there wasnit enough information out there prior to the event to get into it. Kasey Dassel, sophomore in business administration, was one of them. Sure they made a facebook group, Erin Poppe dufing the event. said Dassel. But it was only up for a short amount of time beforehand, and I didnit see any personal publicity. If they had come to talk to my sorority house during dinner, we would have had the information first hand and I think a lot more people would have wanted to join the funfi However there were students that gathered at Bosco to celebrate Bright Out, fully decked out in neon clothing. They performed the Wabash and the fight song for onlookers as the ReadyU representatives documented the event. Monica Klawuhn, senior in marketing, enjoyed watching all the festivities. lid say it was pretty successfulf' said Klawuhn. K'People were really excited about the products and the ReadyU website.

As 4,100 freshmen showed up on campus Aug. 24, Tony Linden, freshman in park management and conservation, headed to the Pittman Building, home of Housing and Dining Services instead of going straight to the dorms. This was due to a letter he received after notified he was part of an overflow. For 70 of the students in overflow, their temporary home was on Fort Riley Boulevard: The Clarion Hotel. Our goal is to house every single student that is admitted to K-State, Chuck Werring, vice president of Housing and Dining Services, said. However, there are a limited number of beds on campus and in the Iardine community, so we try to make sure that those students have the ability to live on campus. Linden was just one of the many students who were considered part of the overfiow. Derek Iackson, associate director of Housing and Dining Services, estimated the maximum capacity for residence halls was 3,750, which left 210 students living in the Iardine Apartments, 45 students living in study rooms and 80 students living with RAS. We've been in overflow, Werring said. This is not the first time. We think there's an unanticipated number of people that try to sign contracts very late in the process. Although the process of overflow had been seen in the past, there had never been an overflow this extreme. Werring said this was the biggest overflow since the 1990- 1991 academic year. lt required the use of a hotel operation to house extra students. Iackson said that 90 students were assigned to the Clarion Hotel and 70 of them showed up. I didn't expect it to be this nice, that's for sure, Linden said. You can do pretty much whatever you want. You've got a nice huge bed, free cable and free Internet. The use of facilities at the Clarion Hotel also added a strain to the costs that Housing and Dining Services had to pay for. Iackson estimated that every student living at the hotel was costing the department 510 per day. 'gWe are losing money on the Clarionf, Iackson said. But if you've got 70 students living in the Clarion that would otherwise not be at K-State and not paying tuition, the ballpark number is 100 students is 551 million in tuition. In the big picture, itis actually beneficial to the university, even though Housing and Dining is initially going to lose money on the contracts. It's a win for the university from a financial standpoint. Even with a large increase in the number of overflow students, Werring stated there was no justification in building a new residence hall. He estimated the university would absorb most of the overflow by the holiday period, which meant there was no need to burden students with a facility that was not needed. Being in overflow right now might be a bad thing, but it's good that you're here as a student, Werring said. The key part of it is we want that student to be a K-State student. And that's important. That's the experience. 17, In II Cllld CDIIIECYC g byErinPoppe At the young age ol I6 comedian Bo Burnham knew what his true calling was in life. He traveled to Kansas to perform in front of residents and students at McCain. He started off on YouTube with his comedic songs. He then frequented local comedy clubs performing stand-up, wrote a screenplay and won Comedy Central's Stand-up Showdown, all before he reached the age of 21. This man was Bo Burnham. Towering at 6'5 , the 20-year old found his passion of comedy at the young age of 16, something most high school students wouldnlt necessarily consider at such a young age. Burnham headlined for a UPC sponsored event at McCain Auditorium Feb. 7 with comedianfactor Rob Riggle opening. Attendance boomed as 1116 tickets were sold. Burnham really knew how to play to the Wildcat crowd. Muck Fizzou?,' he asked the crowd about a t-shirt of a woman in the front row. i'What is this witch talk? Oh, another rival? Well MUCK iEM.n On stage, Burnham appeared to be aggressive, even angry as he paced around the stage like a madman. But prior to the show during sound check, Burnham lounged around in sweatpants, a common outfit from his YouTube videos, and cracked jokes with the workers. He seemed like a completely different person. I'm not myself on stagef' Burnham said. 'iOn stage lim abit more aggressive...a character of myself. That character thinks he knows everything. People think 1 would be a douche in real life. I would think it toofl Burnham was just a guy doing what he loved. He didn't need to go to college either to know it. After being accepted to several different colleges, including New York University, Burnham decided to follow his passion instead. He planned on taking sporadic classes in the future, to keep his mind sharp. U1 would have been a junior now, Burnham said. But I feel like l am learning a lot, even though I am not in schoolfi And yet school is where it all had started. His freshman year of high school he learned his first instrument, piano, and from there he had taken off. His YouTube songs such as uPerfect Womanu, a love song for Helen Keller, and 'Tm Bo Yon elicited a combined total of 18,822,428 views since being posted in 2008. However, Burnham didn't reminisce in the past. G1 didn't look back on the stuffl wrote at 16, it would be pointless, Burnham said. Going from 16 to 20, that is the largest four year jump of your life. You grow so much during that time you become a different person.

To prevent this, the university implemented a system to transport students to their homes. SafeRide provided a free, safe ride home to individuals who lived within the city of Manhattan and along the confines of the fixed-route system. Funding for SafeRide was provided through campus privilege fees, which were tacked at 21324.93 per credit hour and distributed by the Student Governing Association. When SafeRide was first introduced to the university in 2003, the service functioned as an on-call taxi service system. In order to get a ride to their homes, students had to call the SafeRide phone number and wait for a taxi to show up. SafeRide, the Student Governing Association and the taxi company that worked with SafeRide collaborated and compiled data to find out where the most common stops were in Manhattan. While the new system saved miles for the taxi company, it came at a cost of convenience for some customers. Keeping students from drinking 84 driving waiting times Victoria Hatch, SafeRide director and junior in sociology and psychology, said that one of the benefits of the fixed-route system is a significant decrease in waiting time. uPeople had complained that the wait could be anywhere from 30-45 minutes before they got a ridef, Hatch said. With the new system, the longest you would have to wait is I5 minutesf' Concerns of the fixed route system also involved the safety of customers who had to walk a distance from the SafeRide drop off point to their homes in an inebriated state. Customers, such as Hannah Brooks, junior in family studies and human services, lived off the corner of Laramie and Iuliette and found the service convenient. Her home is steps away from a SafeRide drop-off point. How lucky are we that SafeRide drops us off at our house?,' Brooks said. 'KI knew I moved into this house for a reasonfl SafeRide was created to save lives and prevent injuries and damage to property by offering students a safe alternative to The newsetup People had complained that the wait could be drunken driving and other is terrible,',Iohn Onywhere fmm minutes before YOU Q01 threatening situations.

Four years ago Marcia Locke, public relations and outreach coordinator for the Johnson Center, said she was contacted by Henton about donating the proceeds to the Johnson Center. uThe Kaw Valley Association donates the money raised from the rodeo every year to the Johnson Center because they want their funds to stay local, Locke said. One hundred percent of the donations given to us go to cancer research and education here at K-State. Family members and friends wrote names of people they knew who had battled cancer onto pink balloons and released them before the rodeo started. Locke said she received an interesting e-mail the following week from a woman in Illinois.

In early September Hale opened its doors and the first 100 customers received free bagels for a year. Students were able to study in a quiet and convenient location and enjoy food and beverages. Einstein Bros. Bagel opened in September in Hale Library where the 24 hour quiet study room was. Einstein Bros. was the only one located in Manhattan making it a unique place to eat. They served breakfast as well as lunch and were open late for students who needed a late night snack. In order to promote the new venue, Einstein Bros. gave away free bagels for a year to the first 100 students in line. Students camped out for hours in order to receive the promotion. I really wanted free bagels for a year, but even though I didnit make the cut, I still go about twice a weekl' Alli Dandurand, junior in sociology said. Einstein Bros. was built as an alternative place to eat while on campus. It was located centrally making it convenient for students to stop in during passing periods. Large tables were set up near power sources so students could study and do homework while eating a quick bite. I come here to eat instead of going to the Union because it is more quiet, but I still like the variety the Union has to offerfl Raaven Crockett, junior in social work said. Einstein Bros. provided bagels, paninis, pizza bagels and bagel dogs with a to-go food service easy for students in between classes. Anytime I have a break between classes I come here to get food or coffee, Brittany Blattner, senior in life sciences said. The Union is too noisy to study so I can come to Einstein Bros. and know I will get my homework done. The new food venue created for more on-campus job opportunities for students. The set schedule allowed employees to base their work schedule around class. l'The managers are very flexible and they are willing to work with me when I am busy with school work, Elizabeth Zabel, sophomore in political science said. The constant flow of people kept Zabel busy during her Tuesday and Thursday shifts. The earlier days of the Week were usually the busiest and most people came in for their most popular item, the tasty turkey sandwich. uMy favorite part about working at Einstein Bros. is seeing the same people every day and getting to know their names and orders, Zabel said. Einstein Bros. was a great asset to Hale Library and the rest of the campus.

Taylor Schmidt, sophomore in political science and resident assistant, established a series of seminars called f'The Wallf, which focused on convincing students they are part of something bigger than themselves. 'Kit is a place where students are able to speak about truth, love, life and compassion, Schmidt said. li When the truth is actually spoke it is a powerful thingfi Every two or three weeks The Love Shack's lobby was turned in a central zone oftranquility and acceptance.

Atop the campus parking garage, Josie Doefer, freshman in architectural engineering, played the bagpipes for all to hear. While some students were simply entertained by the sound of the bagpipes on their stroll to class, some were perplexed. Students were curious as to where the music came from and wandered to the top ofthe garage to observe Doefer. 4'Hearing a bagpipe being played in the morning made waking up completely worthwhile, David Colmer, senior in construction science and management, said. Mlt also gave me some momentum to start off the day. Doefer, who owned her own bagpipes and played for several years, practiced playing the pipes several mornings a week so that she could keep up with her hobby while at college. Ml like practicing on top ofthe parking structure because it is nice, open space, Doefer said. It is better to be out in the open because then it doesn,t echo quite as much? The opportunity for Doefer to learn to play bagpipes arose from her high school band. Coming from Howell, Mich., Doefer's high school mascot was the Howell Highlander. Because of the Scottish mascot, bagpipes were a common part of her high school band. There was a girl who played Ibagpipesj for the marching band before I got into high school who was graduating, so I started taking lessons from her to play for the band the next year, Doefer said. by Cheyanne Alvarado s'That,s how I got started, and it was a terrible down hill roll after that because Iplaying bagpipesj is not something you can do halfway. Aside from playing with the high school band, Doefer also played with a bagpipe band from Flint, Mich., near her hometown. This band, the Flint Scottish Pipe Band, was a competition band that consisted of bagpipes, snare drums, bass drums and tenor drums. Doefer's father played bass drum for this band, and her mother was leaming to play snare so she could play with the band as well. The band competed in many competitions and allowed Doefer to travel around the country as well as Canada. I like how it connects me with peoplej, Doefer said uThere are people in the pipe band who used to play with people who play out here, and they tell me, 'You should call them, or, tYou should talk to them., Itis a good way to network? Aside from being a difficult skill to master, Doefer said playing the bagpipes can be a workout for the body. You build up a lot of strength in your abs and through your shoulderj, Doefer said. GSI can take someone out with this Ileftj arm, because the pressure of the bag is on this arm? As for her future with bagpipes, Doefer was hoping to Hnd a pipe band near the university that she could play with during the school season and planned to continue playing with the Flint Scottish Pipe Band on her retum to Michigan during the summer. I started playing because that's what my school needed at the time, but I keep playing because I like doing something different, Doefer said. 35- K36 le Long fast mon Students found unique ways to uarantee they had extra cash during t e year. Besides the regular stressor of homework, tests, quizzes and papers, students constantly had one other thing on their minds: money. Students spent money faster than they could make it, causing them to come up with unconventional and creative ways to make money. Most of the after school jobs students went to required a uniform or a dress code of some sort, but when Lauren Perez, senior in theater, went to work twice a week in the art department, her only requirement was that she wear no clothes at all. One of my friends in the theater department told me about nude modeling for art classes, and I decided to do it, Perez said. I am very comfortable with nudity. Perez had been a nude model for the universityis art classes since her junior year. She was paid twelve dollars an hour and worked two classes a week that were each three hours long. I don't End anything hard about it, people don't scare me, Perez said. She said her friends supported her, however the only people in her family that knew she did nude modeling were her sisters. I did not tell my family, and I will not tell my family, Perez said. My mom is just really religious, and I know she wouldnit like it. Perez said even though people have negative opinions about nude modeling, she has a great amount of gratitude for it. The students are really appreciative of the nude modelsf' Perez said. I love the environment. Everyone is so welcoming no matter what your body type is. I could walk in the room 60 pounds heavier and they'd still be excited to draw me. Perez said that nude modeling is only sexual if people make it that way. Theres something different about taking a picture and actually drawing a human bodyf, Perez said. The artists really look at it as an art form and not anything inappropriate. Perez had several other part-time jobs. She worked in Caribou Coffee, in the university's Theater Steam Shop as a Purple Mask Manager. She worked so much because she liked to take trips to New York and Chicago for theater and had to pay for a lot of things in college on her own. Not only did she make money while working, she also made friends. Sometimes I still see people on campus that drew me and I'm like, 'Hey, remember when you drew me naked, ' Perez said. It's a really neat experiencef' Some people took to more alternative, unclean ways of making money. My friends and I were walking and we saw some old Continued on page 39 1' AIX.. ,.. - 5??. .T f Lf?

Erin Poppe Continued from poge 36 furniture by a dumpster so we decided to check it out, Levi Sprick, freshman in journalism, said. I was actually joking when I said, 'Hey, we should sell this stuff on craigslist for money,' so we did. Sprick and his friends found an unusual way to make money, dumpster diving. They rummaged through dumpsters looking for valuable things and later sold them on eBay or craigslist.com. I found a couple pairs of really nice high-end jeans in a dumpster close to my apartment? Sprick said. Once I had a friend who found a unicycle! The kind of items Sprick looked to sell were things that had been thrown out and were still perfectly good, or odd things that you wouldn't see everyday. It really depends on what you find. I have found some pretty cool things in dumpsters before, and of course some pretty disgusting things too, he said. People want the valuable and odd things that get thrown out. One of the funnier things we have found was a perfectly good winter hat from Wal-Mart with the price tag of 5810 still on it. It could probably still sell for close to that. Sprick said he had a couple jobs at home in Osborn, Kan., working on farms and mowing. Dumpster diving could be considered a job too, Sprick said. The funniest part of dumpster diving is on those rare occasions when somebody walks by and gives you a very strange look, and then you just smile and wavef' While dumpster diving was proven successful, some students thought of more convenient, cleaner ways to make some extra cash. I needed extra money because I was getting a little low, April Hiatt, junior in accounting, said. Selling my football ticket was a fast and easy way to make a little cash. Students like Hiatt would give up having a fun time cheering on the Wildcats in Bill Snyder Family Stadium to earn some extra cash. Hiatt sold her ticket for S80 on Facebook Marketplace. My friends told me about Facebook Marketplace a few years ago, and it was just an easy way to buy and sell not only tickets, but other things too, Hiatt said. Hiatt said she sold one ticket per football season and about three during basketball season as well. D Currently I don't have a job, which is why I needed an easy way to make a little cashf' she said. So right now I do little things like sell my tickets to earn some needed cash. There were painful ways to make money in desperate times. Max Goering, freshman in mathematics and physics, donated plasma every Wednesday and Friday morning, adding up to about eight to ten times a month. No other options have been available to me, Goering said. Otherwise I would take them. Goering said he got the idea when someone on his dorm floor asked if he wanted to go donate plasma with him. After he asked a few questions about it, he decided to try it at least once, especially since the clinic paid him in cash. He said he started donating plasma the third week of school, but it was a long process. To donate plasma Goering had to provide three proofs of identity and had to give the clinic a proof of residence. However, donating plasma wasn't Goeringis only form of income. He also worked at Quiznos. I donate plasma because even though I make less than I do at my part time job, he said. I only spend about four to five hours a week donating, but I make as much as if I worked nine hours that week at Quiznosf' Goering said people who donate plasma are paid differently depending on how much they weigh. The more you weigh the more plasma you can donate each time, and the more plasma you donate the more you get paid. The first time Goering went each week he got paid twenty dollars, and then thirty five dollars each time after that. I give plasma for money because college is expensive, Goering said. Donating plasma has already paid for the cost of books for both of my semesters this year? VVhile some students found themselves strapped for cash, others found alternative and unique ways to squeeze in time between the other stressors of college to make some cash during the school year. ! 39, ABROAD YET AT HOME by Natalie Rauth Many students at the university hoped to study abroad at some point in their undergraduate career. What they didnyt consider was the possibility that there may have been a student right there in Manhattan from the country they hoped to travel to. K-State hosted over 1,700 undergraduate and graduate students from 99 different countries. Over 800 of the international students were from China, while India and Saudi Arabia were home to the second and third largest groups of international students. Although the most popular major among international students was business administration, their majors ranged anywhere from aviation to plant pathology. International student enrollment for the 2010-2011 school year was up by 20fVo from the previous year's total of 1,400 students. The increase in enrollment totals was due in large part to a change in administration. Since the new Director of International Student Services was hired in Ianuary 2008, the program had improved drastically. 'KVVhen I landed at the airport in Kansas City, no one was there to pick me upf, You Zhou, senior in engineering, said. I didnit even know where Manhattan was, so I called a cab. It was S2007 Zhou moved to Manhattan in Spring 2007 from a city in China's northern peninsula called Dalian. Throughout his career at the university, Zhou has noticed the positive changes in the international program. l'The International Student Center has really improvedfl said Zhou. They helped me get set up with a bank account, took me to Lafene and now I get notifications about international student events? The program improved their technology, services, forms and more thanks to their new director, Sara Thurston-Gonzalez. Originally from Kentucky, Thurston- Gonzalez came to K-State after working as the Interim Director of International Student Services at the University of Wisconsin-Madison. Although Thurston- Gonzalez enjoyed working in Wisconsin, she began searching for a new position. c'VVhen I interviewed at K-State, I was immediately impressedf' she said. I loved the campus, I loved the people, I loved that the university was student centered, and I also saw I had a great opportunity to create an amazing program here and I knew I would have the support to do sof' Thurston-Gonzalezis passion for helping international students developed when she studied abroad as an undergraduate. I knew I could make a difference combining all my passions by working either to send US students abroad or by helping international students heref, she said. Then, I ended up working in the helping international students, side and I love itf, Wei-len Fan, junior in English from Taiwan, has enjoyed his time at the university thus far. HI really like it heref, Fan said. The students are all very friendly and Manhattan is a nice townf' Fan is from Taiwan's capital city, Taipei. The city is the largest in Taiwan and is home to 2.6 million people. It was interesting coming to K-Statef Fan said. uMy city is much larger. Everythir here seems so smallfl Fan took advantage of the many servicef that ISSS offers, including the Internationaf Buddies Program. The program paired locz university students, staff and community members with international students and scholars. Once paired, the buddies met regularly to learn about each other's customs, culture and languages. 4'The program is awesome, Fan said. I have learned so muchf' it pt- ll 1 N-New Mimi , l ,Q The university has Offices in Dehli, India and Beiiing, China. It costs an average of 17 million units of Chinese currency lRMBl to attend K-State per year. K-State averages 1,717 international students. An english language program is offered to help international students further their language skills. An office focuses upon immigration and helps them get the necessary visa to enter the country. Shuttle services to campus are offered from the KC Airport for 3 days before the semester begins. 411 N III U S Supremo Lam' I f 45,-,fi ,ww ,suce cc: Ia Sc, run, VOSC15OOC1kCIf17II'IP JIIIVGISIIYS Ifwdarw IeCII,re vw Iorum I-IGII Safarvayar was II'cf I IemaIe Iam AI'T'6EIII1!'lIII save as LIusIIc.e, 3Of IVPIICZJIUSJIQUPIIEI 42 I didn? decide Ta aa Ima Iaw because I Wamed Ta became ricI1g I wem ima II because I Iave the Ietter aI The Iaw and because I wamed Ta make a diIIeremce.

She received her under- iduate degree from the University of inceton in 1976 and then went on to ieive a degree in law from the University of ,e in 1979. After several years of practicing if as an attorney in l994 Sotomayor, a New rk native, was nominated by President 'orge H. W. Bush to become a U.S. District turt Iudge in the Southern District of New rk.1n 1998 she made yet another vertical :ve in the legal profession when she joined 2 U.S. Court of Appeals for the Second fcuit. She stayed with this position until 39. In May of 2009 Sotomayor was nomi- ted to the Supreme Court by President rack Obamag she was then later sworn into 2 position on Aug. 8, 2009, making her : first woman of Latin dissent to serve as a preme Court Justice. alt meant the world to have her here for 2 Lecture to mel, Oscar Garcia, junior in litical science said. 'Not only do I want to one day be a lawyer but I am also Hispanic so it was very inspirational to hear someone with a similar background as me talk about how they became so successfulf' The Landon Lecture was usually given in a lecture format, but for this years event the lecture was delivered in a forum format. This meant that Sotomayor answered questions from a panel of three selected individuals. Two of the members of the panel were accomplished judges themselves in lower circuits and the other panel member was student body president Danny Unruh, senior in political science. The questions that the panel members asked were taken from students and faculty members prior to the event. Iackie Hartman, the chair of the series and the universityis director of community relations and assistant to the president said that the special forum format would allow the audience the opportunity to learn more about Iustice Sotomayor. MI personally loved the format, Landry Mastellar, sophomore in secondary education said. uit allowed the event to have a bit more lite in it. The Lectures live seen in the past have always been a bit sterilefl Sotomayor basically focused on her early days and how she decided to pursue a career in law. She talked having a general interest in the law even as a child. She said she wanted to be just like Nancy Drew but because she had diabetes she thought it might be more practical for her to become a lawyer. The lecture ended with her answering a question about whether she thought students should pursue financially sound careers or their passions in light of the United States, at the time, still sluggish economy. uYou have to follow your passions, no matter whatfi Sotomayor said. MI didnit decide to go into law because l wanted to become rich: I went into it because I love the letter of the law and because I wanted to make a difference. l'd be doing this even if it meant that l was barely surviving fmanciallyf' 431 E Q ,U .

We have world-renowned musicians, performers, and various acts as part ot the McCain Series, but many students don't take the opportunity to see the extremely talented musicians right here at K-State.

However, some students got either the pleasure or burden for bothj of staying in college longer. Some switched majors, others studied abroad and some failed classes. It was poor planning on my part. It was me not really paying attention to my DARS report as closely as I should have, David Kaufman, senior in mass communications, said. L'The year before I thought I was going to graduate I found out about hours I wasnit completely aware of. I probably put too much trust in thinking my advisor knew everything I should be doing and not knowing I should be doing everything he was just to double checkfl Kaufman said. Despite his poor planning, his parents supported his decision to stay, and he did not regret it. With my workload they thought it was probably smart to go ahead and do four and a half years instead of trying to cram everything and work at the same time,' Kaufman said. if IBeingl a student is a nice excuse for not having to work so muchf, For some students it was a matter of finding what they were passionate about. Anthony Halling, senior in biological systems engineering, had trouble finding his niche. I started off freshman year majoring in architecture? Halling said. uArchitecture was a big time commitment that involved many hours in studio. The first semester was mostly free hand drawing - not my cup of tea. I liked the designing process but I couldn't get over the late nights and all-nighters necessary to Hnish projects on time. In high school I got into drafting and I thought that architecture would be similar. Turns out it wasnltfl He then enrolled in the engineering department and took all of the basic, general classes until he discovered what he liked best. HI have always liked being outdoors and working with the environment, so environmental engineering seemed the way to gof' Halling said. The civil engineering department has an environmental option but it mainly deals with storm and waste water treatment. The BSE environmental option has many different opportunities ranging from restoration projects to wetland systems to bioengineering. It deals with soil and water conservation and environmental preservationf' Halling was happy with the decision he made and planned on receiving even more schooling. HI have not regretted staying in college the extra time at all. I am planning on going to grad school in the fall of 201 I, Halling said. 'LI want to do something where I am not working in the ofhce all of the time. I would like to work for a consulting firm in the future but II'ml not sure with whom.

For Travis Iennings, senior in architectural engineering, it was just that. alt gets to the point where if you talk to somebody and tell them youire a fifth-year, they assume you've slacked off somewhere or spent too much time in the Ville, he said. 'fW'hen people ask me why I am a fifth year, I tell them the truth, that my degree is designed for a fifth year because of the additional credits required for graduation. Furthermore, by extending the time in school, I learn a lot more with less stress. Despite these annoying assumptions, Iennings enjoyed his extra time. By being a fifth year student, I am still allowed to network with more people or organizationsfl Iennings said. I can still enjoy hanging out with close friends, and continuing to have the college experience but with a more mature outlook? Through the discovery of a newfound passion, Katie Niederee, senior in public relations, realized what her true calling was. Although this resulted in an extra semester of classes, she knew it would be worth it. I came to K-State as a nutritional science! pre-medicine major and have been just about 'prei everythingf, Niederee said. Along with pre-medicine, Niederee had also been pre- optometry and pre-dentistry. What she came to discover, however, was that her problem wasnlt finding the right 'pre' field to go into. I realized what I like about all the health fields is the relationship formed with patients? Niederee said. L'The realization really came when I was involved in the communications and public relations aspect of every club andfor organization I was involved in on campus. I would spend hours dedicated to those organizations versus studying lforl my science classes, because that was really my passionfl Niederee then decided to completely switch majors. I changed to public relations spring 2009 and haven't looked back, Niederee said. Before coming to K-State, I didnlt even know what a career in public relations meant. Especially being from a smaller town, you donit hear about numerous jobs in that field. However, making the transition from one major to another was not difficult. Especially when I began taking my public relations courses, I realized that my final major choice was a perfect f1t.', Niederee credits her smooth transition to the resources available at the university. HI-Iaving the flexibility to change my major is one of the many great things about our university. I could easily transition into a completely different field and only have to gain one extra semester. The extra semester also gave me the opportunity to have a summer internship at a full-service branding agency, which was a huge learning experiencef' Niederee said. I think coming to college is all about figuring out what you want to do and who you want to be, and thatls something that K-State has helped me to dof, l l Cfbvx MSD' 6.2 W l M I 'WWW V Q-w , 5 MWWQ f,,f'u' M' vllmywml .fm .---.

Nearly 200 people showed at Forum Hall on Feb. 8 to see the competition take place. While we were doing the sound checks I got a chance to size up the competitionf Dewell said. There were some incredibly talented people on that stage. They were all phenomenal performers. A new addition to K-State Idol was text- to-vote where the audience was given the chance to text to a specific number who their favorite performers were. Those that entered were also entered in a chance to win gift cards. 'iWe,ll probably do the same thing next yearf, Amanda Shankle, senior in marketing and co-chair of the UPC music committee, said.

Dewell went on to win the grand prize of S300. I was kind of disappointed to see some of the people who had really great quality talent not place because it just turned out a lot different than I would have expected it to based on last yearis performance where they really awarded originality, Wetzel said. I felt like it didnit quite go the same. Although not all the performers won, they were all given the opportunity to showcase their talents to fellow students and the university. 'Tm ecstatic to have done this as a freshman, Dewell said. 'Tm not a music major but I would love to have a career in the future.

This yearls Student Government Association student body president and vice president elections were a well-matched race, both parties publicized hard and campaigned strong. Nate Spriggs, junior in agricultural economics, and Kate Bormann, senior in agricultural communications and joumalism, had the campaign slogan of, 'fYour voice, your campus? They led their campaign on a three-part platform which included making campus events more affordable for students, installing Safety Information Centers inside different buildings on campus and updating the university's classrooms with new technology. 'tThe entertainment program we want to have up and running by orientation this August so that freshman will be able to buy their tickets thenf' Spriggs said. Spriggs and Bormann had tough competition throughout their campaign. John Grice and Natalie Rauth led their campaign with the slogan of, Planning, connecting, developing. Grice, senior in political science, and Rauth, senior in mass communications and marketing, had a completely different campaign than Spriggs and Borrnann. We want the issues to drive our campaignf, Grice said. Safety is talked about each year. Their platform included engaging the incoming freshman and sophomores in activities on campus and improving the job placement of K-State graduates by fusing the efforts of Career and Employment Services and the K-State Alumni Center. They also addressed the issue of tuition costs and maintaining high retention rates within their campaign. Grice and Rauth gained 46 percent of the total in the primary election, totaling just 1,285 votes, falling short of Spriggs and Bormanrfs 51 percent, 1,425 total votes, losing by only 140. 'fKate and I plan to continue with the public relations approach to the campaign process, Spriggs said. 'flt was tiring but we really enjoyed itf' The number of students voting in the primary election March 2 was noticeably lower than in the past, but because there were only two candidates running, it was a sure thing both of them would make it to the final election. There had been a pattern in the past where the student body president and vice presidential candidates who won the primary election didn't go on to win the final election. H1 know that is a trend, but hopefully Nate and Kate can break that trend, Bormann said. And they did. Spriggs and Bonnann were announced the new student body president and vice president March 9, with a victory of2,667 votes to Grice and Rauthls 2,113 votes. Even though they never had a victory in the election, Grice and Rauth stayed optimistic.

K Design a Law Master's student helps pass a bill with his. art work. . by Colleen Quinn As the first days of summer slowly approached, those who texted while driving in Kansas were in for a quick reality check. For Brian Bookwalter, graduate student in fine arts, his ability to create and inspire led him to come up with a unique thesis. Posters covered with messages discouraging texting while driving produced results that were not only noticed by the staff and faculty on campus, but also recognized and put to use by the state. These posters attempt to raise awareness about the dangers and risks involved with texting behind the wheel, Bookwalter said. My entire thesis work involved using emotions and web speak within graphic design concepts. However, as a branch of that idea, I wanted to design posters which communicated to the viewer via the new and adopted language we use on our cell phones. The yellow posters used a combination of text language and graphics such as a tag attached to the bottom of feet, hinting to be in a morgue, which read, 'NT BSY IUST DRVN.' With his personal story in mind, Bookwalter decided to take what he was passionate about and turn it into art. I was involved in a close-call traliic accident, and it sparked a few ideas about wanting to use graphic design to raise awareness about the topicf' he said. It is a growing concem nationally as more and more people are involved in traffic accidents related to distracted cell phone use. I hadn't seen much graphic design work which tried to get to the point of awareness. Under the impression this was strictly a requirement for him to graduate, Bookwalter's only concem was passing his master's thesis. Little did he know, there was another authority eager to promote and display his art. I was approached by the Kansas Department of Transportation after they viewed the work in the William T. Kemper Gallery in the unionf, he said. They asked to use the work to support the texting and driving bill that was to be reviewed by the Kansas Legislature when they reconvened April 28. The dedication and long hours cahned down and eventually Bookwalter returned to life post-thesis. The bill passed the state vote in May and went into effect Iuly 1. u 'Tve gotten positive feedback and plenty of exposure, he said. It has made it seem very worthwhile after all the studio hours put into this work and my graduate degree. I spent quite a few late nights in Willard Hall wondering if any of this would work or make sense. 61- M ww fm, ,, 9 Q f, g ,1 ,w,,1J' ff, A 5 1 ' f Q V lf ' my 'EM,,,,-V5.0 ,. f fi Vinod Mony portokes in 0 breathing exercise in his room in the jordine Complex in order to enter upon 0 stote ol mediototion in front ot his olior lull of spirtucl items.

Lisle Alclerton 63- 164 urfing H1 radio waves by Cheyarzne Alvarado The university radio station goes on the air for students and faculty to listen to. The universityls radio station, Wildcat 91.9, was not your typical station on the airwaves. Completely run by students, the station offered diverse music, opinions and entertainment. It is non-profit, non-commercial educational stationf' Kristin Russell, Wildcat 91.9 station manager and graduate student ofjournalism and mass communications, said. So that means it has service to the public and also serves as an educational outlet for students at K-State? The station was funded through student fees since it was a service to the students. Wildcat 91.9 broadcasted not only to K-State and Manhattan, but reached several other surrounding communities as well. c'The station operates on 1400 watts, which is a pretty good size radius, especially for a college radio stationfl Russell said. It extends from Abilene to almost to Topekafl Any student who was interested could become involved with Wildcat 91.9. However, the station did require that students who wanted to participate take a short course on the operation, rules, and regulations of the radio. 'Something that makes 91.9 a little bit more unique than other college radio stations is that rather than having an application process, we like to promote that anyone who is interested can go on airf, Russell said. 'iWe have everyone from first semester freshmen to PhD students who participate. The levels of experience and interests are wide and range all sortsf, With around 80 students bringing varying personalities and opinions to the station each semester, the music and shows hosted on 91.9 ranged widely. Programs varied from metal music nights to sports talk shows to political opinions. One talk show hosted by Brian Stinson, senior in computer science, talked about technology. Stinson's show, Master Control Program, was co-hosted by Parker Wilhelm, freshman in open option. uCollege students, and people in general, are moving more and more of their lives online, connecting with friends, sharing photos and watching moviesf' Stinson said. We like to let people know about some of the cool upcoming things that they might be able to use to make that experience more fun. 1 have always been a little bit of a nerd, so I have always enjoyed playing with gadgets and gizmos, and I wanted to share a little bit of that V 'f-rw-w...,, experience with others. My co-host, Parker, is a die-hard gamer who really enjoys telling people about new games and commenting on everything to do with video games. Having a place to express our opinions about gaming and technology, l hope, allows people to Hrst know about what events are effecting their lives online, and second to form opinions about those events? Other than discussing serious topics, some students got involved with the radio for the thrill and excitement of it. Ellen Ludwig, junior in art education, got started with the radio when one of her friends asked her to be a guest on his show. The first time I went on air, l was so nervous, Ludwig said. ul had Koh my god,' gwhat's going on,' and 'thousands of people are probably listening to me right now and llll feel stupid ifl say something wrong, going through my head.

And after that, it didn't faze me anymore? After her first experience, Ludwig decided to continue with Wildcat 91.9 and began hosting a show with Lance Leonard, freshman in journalism and mass communications, called Dazed and Confused, which consisted mostly of rock music. We play pretty much anything we want and say random things that people probably would be like 'what?' and laugh atf, Ludwig said. i'We play anything from old school Pink Floyd to Blink-182 to Sublime to MGMT to just popular rock. You never know what is going to come onf' W'hat gave Wildcat 91.9 its uniqueness and popularity was that every student could find something they enjoyed HA lot of students are looking for certain music or an opinion or some sort of outlet, and oftentimes they find their place at the radio stationfl Russell said. I66 dance, twas not often you got to see K-State ucelebritiesl' out of their element during a performance. But on Feb. 24, eight prominent K-State personalities took the stage of McCain Auditorium to compete in the 3rd annual Dancing with the K-State Stars. The friendly competition was set up very similar to ABC,s reality show i'Dancing with the Starsf' Like the show, it consisted of a number of couples, one star and one professional, who performed a dance for the judges and audience. The judges gave their opinions and scores, but the audience also had a chance to cast their vote. This year, the audience members of Dancing with the K-State Stars had the opportunity to text their vote for their favorite couple. Unlike the show however, the competition did not continue for weeks, but took place on only one night with the winners being announced at the end of the evening. The event was hosted by the Union Program Council and had been in preparation since November. An event such as this took a lot of work to organize. The whole month of November my co-chair, Coleman Younger, and I were brainstorming ideas for who we wanted to be stars, what they were going to do and everything like that,', Christina Ballew, junior in hotel and restaurant management and UPC community co-chair, said. He took care of the stars and I did professionals. I have a lot more contacts in the dance world, and he had a lot more contacts to football players and all that. We had a sheet of our first priority of who we wanted. Trying to get I6 people on board and on the same page is a very difficult task, but we got a lot of our first choices? The final list of stars that agreed to participate was student body president Danny Unruh, volleyball player Kathleen Ludwig, baton twirler Iessica Tracz, Collegian writer Beth Mendenhall, football player Andre McDonald, radio personality Luke Wempe, Associate Dean of Student Life Heather Reed and danc by Cheyanne Alvarado Willie the Wildcat. The professionals consisted mostly of students in the K-State dance department. Dancing with the K-State Stars was a kickin Reed said. I felt honored to be asked and would never turn down the opportunity to be involved in such a fun event with K-State students. I donit have much dance experience, so it was a challenge but my partner, Chris Zimmerman, was wonderful. He was patient and inspired confidence in our ability to do well. The professionals choreographed the dances performed. The dance genres ranged from disco and west coast swing, to hip-hop and Broadway. The stars, although not their forte, picked up on the choreography rather quickly. l'We had about nine days to get ready for the showf, Maddy Beck, junior in food science and industry and Luke Wempeis dance partner, said. c'We were short on time because Luke's original partner didnit contact him to start rehearsing and ended up backing out. My friend was asked to be his partner next and when she wasnit able to, I filled the spot. Thatis why we were on a time crunch. I think Luke picked up the choreography very quickly and did a great job performing, he really captured the hip-hop style naturallyfl At the end of the night, Ludwig and her partner Kyle Landau, senior in marketing, took home the trophy with their disco performance. But, no one went home empty handed. The couples that placed first, second and third won tickets to the Iason Dertilo concert in Bramlage Coliseum April I I. And all participants received gift cards to the union. GI was so excited that we won! Ludwig said. 'KI knew that there were several other couples who had impressive dance routines and had worked just as hard if not harder than Kyle and I had. I was so pleased with the response from the crowd, and especially thankful to my volleyball team, coaches and staff who all came out to support me. I think it was their support that made me comfortable enough to go for it when it came time to dance? u 4 V ,N 4, wg?

Whether it was through organizations, student government, or filling job positions on campus, they contributed what they could. However, a more unique contribution was made through Tyler Keast's infamous song 'KK-State Standupf' featuring Ray'vonne Freeman, freshman in English, and Ioe Goll, sophomore in business administration. KI was originally going to do the song myself and then I got the idea of conjoining fanbases with somebody else who was big in the areaf' Tyler Keast, senior in marketing, said. I asked around and got Ioe and Ray Ray's name. I threw the chorus together, put my verse on it and I just sent it out to both of them. After joining with Keast, Freeman and Goll recorded their own lyrics to add to the song. The results created a pride song for the campus community. We all recorded separately so none of us knew what the others were going to say, Keast said. H50 we got back together and none of us talked about the same thing but at the same time we were all talking about stuff related to the university. It's one of those things where it was meant to happen. Once the song was put together, Keast uploaded it to YouTube. Within three days, the song had received over 30,000 hits and the popularity of something they never saw going anywhere shot through the roof. We never intended on it being as big as it wasf, Freeman said. It was just a bunch of dudes recording in a closet, showing some spirit for our school. Turns out we made a hitf, The song continued to gain popularity as Manhattanjs radio station 96.3 sent a message to Keast for a request to use the song. That night I shot it over to him and the very next day it was on 96.3,v Keast said. They were playing it on game nights and started doing their own things with it. We didnlt even know how much it was getting played and then one day I flipped on the radio and I heard the chorus. I turned it up and then I realized they were using it as a commercial for their radio stationf, Three days after the song was put on YouTube, Keast received an e-mail from the university. The e-mail requested that he remove the song from YouTube as it violated certain copyright laws. However, Pat Bosco, dean of student life, had heard the song and contacted Goll to set up a meeting for them with the university marketing team. I go in for the first meeting with Ray Ray and Ioe and it went from 'How can we put it back up on YouTube, to 'How can we work something out to where we can play it at the gamesfv Keast said. We're still stuck in negotiations right now but hopefully something's going to come out of thatf, The song's popularity came from more than just students. Alumni and faculty had also played the song originally on YouTube. Bosco became known as their number one fanf' To be candid, I like the fact that the words seem to capture what K-State is all aboutf, Bosco said. It talks about our brand, it talks about our community and sense of family, and I like the beatf' Keast stated that during negotiations with the marketing team, Ieff Morris, vice president of marketing, said the song was the biggest thing since the Wabashf' The marketing team worked with the boys to find a possible compromise for them to put the song back into the community as well as be able to play it at games. Their hope is to get this song out by the beginning of next year Goll said. Depending on when we get this thing going, they wanted to reveal it either the first or second football game. Bosco also included his ideas to the boys by asking them about the possibility of creating a song targeted to high school teenagers for recruitment. There are schools that have taken a song that has been commissioned for young people by a student group with the school and theyfve used it on their ofcial websites and their recruiting campaignf Bosco said. I'd like to do that but I've got to see what we have first? As negotiations were still in the works, the boys continued making their own songs such as Get Ya Green Onf' dedicated to the celebration of Fake Patty's Day. No matter what results came from K-State Standupf' they were happy just being able to get the song into the community and making it as recognized as they could. It's kind of like our generation's contribution to the school, Freeman said. There other things like SGA that students use to contribute to the university but as far as regular students go, I think we did pretty goodf' 69- H70 Choosing the Alternative by Erm Poppe Eight women opt for a spring break helping teenage moms in Denver, CC When they loaded their bags into the university van at 8 a.m on the first Sunday of break, they didnit know what to expect. Eight girls had been selected to volunteer at the Florence Crittenton School in Denver, CO after being accepted into the Leadership Studies Schoolls Alternative Breaks program. It was an opportunity to spend their spring break volunteering instead of going home or to popular vacation destinations. We chose to go on this trip because we wanted to make an impactf' Sarah Milazzo, graduate in modern languages, said. I wanted to really help those girls and I did not want to be there for just our own purposef, That had been the purpose for the trip, to use the free time allotted by spring break to help those who could use it. Working at the school from 9 a.m to 3 p.m, the girls spent their time helping out anyway they could. Some played with the children in the early learning center, while others performed random tasks such as sorting donation clothing or cleaning equipment. You could play with the babies for a day, which only helped them for that day, or you could do something that would last them for a whilef' Kristen Burton, sophomore in family studies and human services, said. We cleaned the laundry room and sorted some clothes. It was rewarding? However, their time spent at Florence Crittenton did not just benefit the school, nor had it just been a simple community service project. It had been an enlightening experience for the girls to the reality of teenage pregnancy and motherhood. They were high schoolers -they were still teenagersf, Emily Robson, sophomore in family studies and human services, said. Sure they had to mature a lot, but they were still kids. I could not imagine having a child at 15.U The girls realized that even with though they had the school, being a teen mom was not an easy task. I had overheard a conversation between moms that they had barely been able to buy lunch, Becky Ast, sophomore in family studies and human services, said. 'fIt turned out they only had S10 in their bank account. It was troubling that they only had S10 and they were raising a kid. During group discussions the girls discussed Astls alarming discovery and remembered that at I4 they hardly had money to their name. They had relied on their parents just as those teenage moms relied on theirs to not only provide for them, but for their children. And the similarities the group found between themselves and the moms did not stop there. lust as the university girls had pursued college to find their passions, the teen moms at Florence Ctrittenton were interested as well. Some of the teenage moms used their opportunity with the K-State girls to ask about the college and its academics. Many had been interested in furthering their education, looking to find the path towards careers such as nursing, law, and business. They inquire. about majors, classes, homework loads and discussed how they would balance everything out with their children. Those girls had goals for what they wanted to do with their livesf, Marcia Iamison, volunteer and special events manager, said. And while their children were part of it, they still saw so much the wanted to accomplish. Many were taking lCertitied Nursing Assistantl classes nova so they could jump into a career of nursi after graduation. It was really great to see that those gi wanted to continue with their education Iurdene Ingram, graduate student in fam studies and human services, said. It had given me hope for their futures and their children's futures?

For students like Ionathon Unruh, senior in social sciences, that relationship was carefully intertwined, and established a unique lifestyle most a students didn't face. He not only served the country and actively perused a college degree, but was also an active member of the Sigma Phi Epsilon fraternity. He formed a sincere bond with that group of men that has grown beyond the lines of basic friendship and stretched far past any geographical border that he crossed. 'II have served one tour with over ten months that I spent in the theatre of Kuwait and Iraqf, Unruh said. UI am currently preparing for my next but it is not clear Where I will be sentf, With the interruption of these tours to our protect our country, Unruh was given the challenge of trying to find a way to take classes at the university as well as actively serve. He first enlisted in March 2005 and has currently made it to the ranks of a Sergeant in the Transportation Corps. It probably sounds quite strange to take a break Ifrom schooll and go into a combat zone, but Ilve really wanted to do that since I enlisted, he said. The university made it easy for him to deal with b Kel White all of the transitioning by being very flexible and accommodating to his situation. His membership in the Sig Ep house also helped him immensely. I couldnlt have done any of this without the support that Ilve had from the brotherhood, he said. Throughout his first tour, he kept in contact with them through phone calls and care packages that kept him motivated. Even though his leaves of absence kept him at the university for a prolonged amount of time, he stayed confident that the bonds of brotherhood would last through the years. When I come back from this deployment, things will be different because I will be without all the pledge brothers that I had when I enrolled in schoolf, he said. 'cThat will be tough but the house will always be therefl Unruh's dedicated ambitions to serve our country and get a college education drove his motivation through the years. His university and fraternity support systems helped make it all possible. When he pledged to be a Sig Ep before his deployments, he established lasting friendships through the experiences on American soil that went on to help him get through the trying times overseas.

Due to a large winter storm that engulfed much of the Midwest and Eastern states, students were advised not to venture out into the dangerous conditions on Ian. 31 and Feb. 1. Bruce Shubert, vice president for administration and finance, was the one who had decided on the matter. He sent out a message at 6 a.m. through the K-State email system each morning to tell the students what was going on. i'We do not cancel class a lot, however, when I came to campus the ice coating we had, in my judgment, made walking and driving treacherousf' Shubert said. aOur primary concern is safetyf' According to the universityls Inclement Weather General Policy and Procedure, the vice president is responsible for making an assessment of weather conditions, including snow removal, streets and sidewalks, hazards to employees traveling to and from the campus and ability to provide energy. The few extra days of weekend had been a surprise to many students. The last time the university cancelled classes was December 2007 during finals week. The power went out due to a massive ice storm. Sam Diederich, senior in english, had been a sophomore when the last ice storm had struck K-State. uThe storm in 2007 was so much worse than this yearis stormf' said Diederich. I lived in the dorms at the time, and they had lost power. It was freezing and cold and it wasn't even entertaining to go outside? This yearis storm had been less intense by comparison. Activities of the day rang from playing in the snow, staying curled up, or even using the time to get caught up on some homework. That had been the case for Nichole Finke, sophomore i1 architecture. It was such a relief, the snow daysf Finke said. lt had given me more time t get stuff done that I would normally hay put off until the last minute? While some students, such as Finke, l spent their time being productive, other had ventured out into the snow and ice tl play in the freezing temperatures.

I think it was cool because I've heard so much about Michael Wesch and I was really excited when we got to work with himf' Lauren Ewald, junior in landscape architecture, said. He's a very avid bike rider so he knows the streets of Manhattan, like which ones are really safe and which ones are really hazardous and not bike friendly? Ewaldis group found a path in its assigned area that was not paved but just a nature trail in a wooded area. This path was created in eight to nine weeks by local elementary students and was often used by the Manhattan High School cross-country team. Our team actually found a track that wasnit on the map. That is when we pulled out the Android and it tracked us walking along that path, so that path could be on the map, Ewald said. Since there were so many of us working on the project, we could cover a large area. If you were by yourself doing this, it would take a long time to figure out all of the tracksf' In the end, the students created a map of the city's bicycle resources and needs, as well as creative design proposals to address those needs. The students then had a presentation and hosted an open house where the public could view their findings. The entire bicycle advisory committee attended the presentation to view the proposals the students came up with. A lot more work can still be done on taking those ideas and condensing them into integrated solutions for our communityf' Champion said. I think that work needs to be done in order for the committee to take those ideas and really promote them within the city. It was a great first step in having to do with everything from new signage, to new surfaces on campus, to adding bike lanes, to developing new bike trails, to building new bridges and underpasses over major road barriers, all kinds of ideas from very expensive to not very expensive at allf, Design Days 2010 brought the city of Manhattan closer to becoming biker- friendly and provided students with a unique way of learning.

With more than 500 million users rldwide, Facebook is undoubtedly an ernet phenomenon. Though most people d this website simply to connect with ends, one university professor found a way nake this social networking site into a laborative learning tool. Mick Charney, associate professor of hitecture, said he saw Facebookis potential pe incorporated into education when he lized it could be a great repository for jyrmation. With Facebookls ease of use and lity to post photos, links and notes neatly one page, Charney was inspired to create a up project called f'Looking for Mr. Wrighti' one of his architectural history courses in spring 2010 semester. The Mr. Wrightv students were looking for was famed ierican architect Frank Lloyd Wright, o designed more than 1,000 projects h as Fallingwater, Imperial Hotel and the ggenheim Museum. The objective of the ject was to work collaboratively to find and pal the full, robust nature of the architect hugh a closed, virtual social network that breated personal relationships he forged lr a 92-year-long life. l'At the end of the semester students had jake the whole class on a tour of their particular page to show off the kind of jewels, the gems they foundf, Charney said. If students really got into it, they could assemble material that is just astounding? Charney said it wasn't until one student posted a link to a YouTube video displaying Wright on a 1950s game show that he saw the significance this project held. I-Iere he is moving around and talking and gesturingf' Charney said. This sums up our goal. We did actually find him here because we see the glint in his eye. We see his personality. We see him as a human being. The project was such a success that Charney and two 2010 university architecture graduates, Eric Salmon and Matthew Shepard, presented a workshop about the class at the 35th annual Improving University Teaching International Conference in Washington, DC., in the summer of 2010. The focus of the workshop, i'Looking for Mr. Wright and Finding Him on Facebookf was how to use Facebook as a research tool in the classroom. 'LI had a great experience in Washington, D.C., as it was my Hrst time ever presenting research in a professional settingf, Shepard said. The audience was very interactive asking numerous questions, and seemed to be really interested in what we had done and what we had to sayfi Because of the positive feedback Charney received on Looking for Mr. Wright, he initiated a similar project in the fall 2010 semester called Looking for Mr. Wright 2.0, which included more digital tutorials, in-depth reflection and displays of creativity. As the appointed coordinator of the universityis Faculty Exchange for Teaching Excellence, or FETE, Charney also created a Facebook page to make FETE a 2417 exchange of information. Now, instead of being limited to regular meetings and yearly teaching retreats, the exchange can be accessed by all members at any time thanks to Facebook. So far I like the use of Facebook. VVhen used correctly I think it can be an excellent tool to share informationf said Cathie Lavis, FETE advisory committee member and assistant professor of horticulture forestry and recreation. Facebook FETE members range from graduate students to K-State President Kirk Schulz. Once you get past the stigma that Facebook sometimes has as being a trivializing thing, it has tremendous value as a medium of exchangef Charney said. 931 To uphold the honor 194 T eaching students proper ethics Plagiarism was the most frequent form of cheating among students. Those who were caught were reported and sanctioned accordingly. But even as some students deliberately did so, others had no idea what they were doing was considered cheating. They were not educated to know so. These students had found themselves in the courtroom, shaking and Hdgeting, only to then figure out what they had done wrong. K'Cases are always difficult because most likely students donlt realize that they did something wrongf, Sarah Hart, graduate student in mass communications and member of the honor council, said. 'iVVhen they come here as freshmen they sign an honor code pledge, but I don't think they really pay attention to it. So then all these issues come about. They don't realize that their actions can be a violation of the honor codef, The creation of the honor and integrity system was due to a large cheating scandal that erupted in 1994 and made national news. i'They felt that the integrity of the university itself had been damaged by this large cheating scandal and they wanted to work to do something so we would have a system in place to handle these situations, Allen said. They approached Provost and they formulated a small committee involving by Eric Hostetler faculty and students. That committee grew into a larger body that drafted a constitution. They created the Honor and Integrity System. Within the Honor and Integrity System was the honor council, which was made up of 54 members, including 22 faculty, 22 undergraduate students and IO graduate students. Leading the honor council was Kim Pierson, senior in architectural engineering. Dr. Allen and Dr. Roberts are in charge of the entire system and then it falls on me to run and make sure honor council is moving smoothly in the right direction, Pierson said. They give me the tasks they want completed and then I'm free to come up with everything else on my own and decide what I want to implement and what I want to change. As long as I have those approvals for what I'm doing, I pretty much just go on my own. The Honor and Integrity System implemented specihc behaviors that were considered cheating and a violation of the honor code. According to Allen, most students either hadn't acknowledged the honor pledge that every student signed upon admittance, or hadn't realized what they had done was considered cheating. We try to avoid terms that are legalisticf, Allen said. g'We don't use fguiltyl or 'innocent' and we donit use fevidencef We talk about Continued on poge 96 ..

Itls not considered evidence, just a piece of information. The students are said to be found 'responsible' or 'not responsible, for the violationf, Allen explained two goals that the Honor Council has. The first was an educational goal, and the second was to give a ruling for the university. The university established an expectation for academic conduct. However, most incoming students weren't aware of this expectation due to high rates of cheating in high school. 'll think itys very easy to cheat without knowing youlre cheating, especially with freshmen coming inf, Pierson said. ul remember in high school, it was very different what you could and couldn't do. You could borrow information and just write that down whereas in college they want you to cite your sources I think itls something we can use as a great learning opportunity because we all make mistakes. We're human. The lack of understanding of the honor code was not only among students, but teachers as well. The honor council served faculty members when they didnlt know what to do after a student was caught or suspected of cheating. They helped them decide if 7,777 min W41 ,, the student should receive an XFQ a letter grade that signified a failed course due to cheating. They're kind of emotional about the whole process, so we come in and help them work through the paperwork and the process and we recommend or share with them similar cases so they can then make a reasonable, sanctioning decisionf Allen said. 'fNot every case deserves an XF. The adjudicating rights are set up to protect the rights of the students? According to the Honor and Integrity Systemls annual report, the 2009-2010 academic year had 134 cases involving 181 students, the highest number of cases seen since its inception in 1999. I don't lthinkl that increase is saying more students are cheating, Allen said. ul think it just means that l've made some efforts to reach out to faculty members about our process. I think more faculty members feel comfortable with this system and 1 think more of them will report itf' Although many students had been investigated for violations against the honor code, Allen worked hard to educate teachers and help them make the best possible decisions when dealing with students. That way, in turn, the students would learn from their own mistakes and understand what it meant to uphold the honor code and the integrity of the university.

However, America's favorite Zookeeper, lack Hanna, performed live Oct. l with many animals the audience had never seen before. Hanna, from Knoxville, Tenn., was the star of two famous television shows, lack Hannais Animal Adventures and lack Hanna's Into the Wild. He said he knew he wanted to be a Zookeeper since he was 16 when he worked at a veterinarian clinic cleaning animal cages. Hanna started his performance by showing one of four short videos. The first was about his experience tracking a family of l7 silver back gorillas in the mountains. He observed the family of gorillas while they ate, played and made nests from just ten feet away. IfI died tomorrow, my life would be completef' Hanna said on his experience with the gorillas. Hanna first brought out on stage animals such as a prosimian, armadillos and a lesser anteater. alive seen animals all over the world, but l've never seen an animal like the large ant eaterf' Hanna said. 'iYou know, they do smell real bad though. The next video he showed was about a woman named Daphne and her village that raised infant elephants. Hanna stayed with the villagers and watched them raise the elephants from 4 a.m. to 12 p.m., and said that taking care of a baby elephant was almost more work than taking care of a r ar r-aww' human baby. The village returned over 75 infant elephants back into the wild. ulilephants are probably my favorite animalf, Hanna said. After that, he brought out a clouded leopard, snow leopard and fennec fox. He told a story of how a fox got into his chick coop at his home, and he borrowed a gun from his neighbor to kill it after it spared only four of his chickens. My wife said, 'You're lack Hanna, you can't shoot a foxf' he joked. i'Maybe that's why I have about three pet foxes nowf, Next, Hanna showed a video of when he tracked a black bear and her cub during hibernation in New Mexico 12 years ago. I held the baby cub and said it was one of tl coolest experiences of his life. Hanna then asked for volunteers to con ix W. . P-3' r-Q on stage. A woman volunteered and he 1 he was going to make her touch three mals with her eyes closed. First was a cane d, then two Madagascar cockroaches and n a python named Iulius Squeezerf, :'Aren't you happy you came out ight? Hanna asked the volunteer as she lost jumped clear across the stage after ,ching the giant toad. Hanna said he sometimes carries the kroaches in a sock in his pocket, and he ed that occasionally he would put them Jreadbaskets at restaurants to get his als for free. After that, Hanna brought on stage four malsg a Siberian lynx, groundhog, large Lh and wallaby. The grand finale, and what most people ne to see, was the fastest land mammal, the cheetah. Unless you can get up and go to the bathroom at 70 mph, Hanna said, please don't get out of your seat when this animal comes outf, Hanna said when he filmed the cheetah for his shows, his crew had to use three cameras because of how fast it was. It's truly a beautiful animalf' Hanna said. The final short video Hanna showed was about a husband and wife in Montana that gave their lives to saving animals. They took in handicap dogs, blind cats and horses and even a dog whose mouth was wired shut. The animals were either neglected and abused or given to shelters because of their birth defects. I loved his passion for the animals and how much fun he has with his jobf' Trevor McCarty, junior in biology pre-med, said. The last video was really touching? Hanna was a known animal rights activist. He worked for many zoos and conservation projects across the country, and said that he has never had a bad experience with an animal. Every time an accident has happened with one of the animals, it's been my faultf, Hanna said. You really have to keep your cool when working with animals? He said in most situations he was prepared and knews what to do, but there were times when he got nervous about the animals he was working with.

Sellers is a resident of Council Grove and had an hour commute from her house's front door to the front door of Iustin Hall every day of the week. I realized that I had a lot of seat time between my work day and my commutefl Sellers said. So I was really just looking for a way to incorporate physical activity into my work day, since I already worked out in the evenings five to six times a week. Sellers researched different forms of physical activity online last spring before stumbling across an idea on the Mayo Clinic website: a treadmill desk. A treadmill desk was a desk built around a treadmill, which allowed one to do work at the desk while exercising. Sellers decided with the help of her husbandls woodworking experience she would attempt to create a type of treadmill desk on her own to use in her office in Iustin I-Iall. 'KI had someone who had the woodworking experience so that was freef Sellers said. The treadmill was the biggest piece of equipment that had to be bought but it was relatively cheap. Prior to taking any action on the project, Sellers spoke with her department head for permission and researched some other issues as well. I did some research on the amount of electricity the treadmill would use, Sellers said. KI didn't want to be responsible for a huge spike in the energy bill. The treadmill used about the same amount of electricity as a mini-refrigerator so Sellers didnlt feel like the request for the treadmill was out of bounds since other people in the office had mini fridges. Sellers bought a relatively cheap treadmill from a department store in town and brought it home to her husband where he developed a prototype model with heavy cardboard. He didn't attach the handrails and ran the wire up the back of the treadmillf' Sellers said. I-Ie measured me in terms of height to determine how high to put the desk anc built a monitor to sit on the desk where th treadmill was turned on and offf' The prototype was brought into Sellerls office in Iustin where she used it for a few weeks to decide if it was going to work. i'Although I wasnlt going to be poundin the pavement at 4 miles per hour, 8 hours 1 dayf' Sellers said. It was working for mef' She checked with her colleagues prior to building the final model to ensure it wasnlt bothersome. Seller's husband built the final model ai brought into her office in late summer. alt has taken some practice but I have nd that it is possible to type while lking on the treadmillf, Sellers said. lt,s nderful for things like conference calls or lbinars, which is a conference or a meeting at takes place over the webf, t Sellers had two computer monitors, one on r normal desk and one on the desk above the admill. She also had a wireless mouse and yboard which she moves from monitor to Jnitor depending on which she wants to use. alt wouldnlt have been possible without 2 two monitors and wireless keyboard d mouse, Sellers said, but I already had those before so it was something I could incorporate into the ideafl Sellers set a goal for herself of one mile a day when she first began using the treadmil. lt has made me feel better about myself because it was a goal that l set, achieved and l am continuing to work on, Sellers said. There are days I come home and say to myself, 'l did two hours on the treadmill today,' and that's a great feeling. I try very hard to look at the physical activity piece that l do at work as being on top of my regular workout routine and not substituting for itfl Sellers' treodmtll is built oround her desk so she con sttll do work on her computer whale she gets tn exercise, Ihts reolly seemed to be something thot mode sense to me ond something l thought Id be oble to do, Sellers said.

' Sellers said. c'But it's all in funf, Sellers credited a lot of her desire to stay physically healthy to her prior work experience and subject interest. 'cl worked for many years as a therapist in long term care programsf' Sellers said. This certainly had an influence on my desire to stay healthy as l grow older and to make lifestyle changes that l know will likely have a positive impact as l age. 1032 tudents and faculty often had their nose in the same book after the university integrated a new campus wide reading program in the fall of 2010. The novel selected to be integrated was a New York Times best- seller, The Hunger Games, by Suzanne Collins. It focused around a society that is fascinated with a brutal reality television show. Each year a lottery selected representatives from each region of the nation to compete in a televised fight-to-the-death known as the Hunger Games. Having a common intellectual experience for all incoming freshmen, as well as other students and faculty, is a good strategy for building community, co-chair of the Kansas State Book Network CKSBND, Stephen Kiefer said. 'elf two freshmen got together from different states and majors and they both have read the book, they have something to talk about. The committee that chose the book was made up of students and professors including Kevin Blake, professor of geography. He said the committee searched for a book that was readable, engaging and had significant themes that could be discussed so it would have utility in several different classes. When I read the book I was impressed with how many different themes could be drawn out, Blake said. All freshmen received a copy of K'The Hunger Gamesi' with their orientation packet. Some chose to read it on their own as soon as they got it and others read it because they were required to for a class. I read the book because we each got a copy, Kaycee Brown, freshman in life sciences, said. I ended up falling in love with the book, and read the second and third in less than a day. I liked the series so much, I ditched friends to read itf, Faculty was encouraged to incorporate the book into their courses. Every teacher who taught The Hunger Games had the task to try to make it fit in their lesson. I love to use literature in the classroom, Blake said. 'KWe have a geography textbook to cover the basics but what I hope to do as an educator it to stimulate peopleis minds to go beyond memorizing. The students in Blake's world and regional geography course were required to read the book, participate in class discussion, complete an online homework assignment and then complete a project. By this time I thought everyone should have a feel of the inherent geography and also how the literature conveys geographical ideas, Blake said. The project required students to interpret geography in the book through some sort of visual way, such as a physical map or model, video or electronic file. There were several choices as to what geographical area the students could interpret. I bought foam board to use as a base and created a physical representation of the arena in the book, Clint Newton, sophomore in entrepreneurship, said. I used Easter eggs cut in half to represent mountains, a balloon to represent the cornucopia, green confetti to represent tall grass and for trees I used toothpicks broken in halfv K'The Hunger Gamesv was also incorporated into an introduction to music course by professor Gary Mortenson. The course consisted of 20 freshman students. The students were to pick a scene from the book and give direction to the person who was composing the Elm score on what kind of music they wanted at that particular scene. They had to use their imagination to bring the scene to life and figure out how they had to translate what was going on into music for the background. Since this particular book had so many really vivid scenes in it, it just seemed to jump out at me sort of cinematicallyf' Mortenson said. What better way to incorporate music than to put the students in the shoes of someone in Hollywood who is trying to describe to a producer what they want musically in a scene? Campus discussions, visiting media critic Iudith Posner and a campus-wide multiplayer game were all offered in the fall, which revolved around The Hunger Games. 'cWe had the students in Union Program Council generate a hunger game and picked students to compete in trivia and a scavenger hunt to win an iPad,', Kiefer said. There seemed to be a great response from both students and faculty through an informal survey, Kiefer said. Some faculty objected to the book on various grounds but it was difficult to find a book that made everyone happy The KSBN was already hard at work selecting a book for next school year. Whatever book they choose I plan to incorporate it again, Mortenson said. Depending on what book is chosen Iill have to tweak the assignment.

However, communication began to adapt from pen pals to Skype pals. In the advanced Spanish conversation course, Laura Kanost, visiting assistant professor of modern languages, developed a service project for her students to participate in. The project was to communicate with Hispanics from another country using Skype, a video chat application that allowed people to view and hear each other through the Internet.

I always remind my students that they're acting as ambassadors of the university and lthey shouldj try to be professional and courteous, Kanost said. Several students, including Marlena Birkel, freshman in biochemistry, chose the Skype opportunity as a service project. Birkel had two partners from Mexico, Ana and Nancy, and they e-mailed each other Communication with foreign .tudents becomes easier using video chat and planned times to video chat. The chats usually lasted one hour, with 30 minutes in English and 30 minutes in Spanish. In our e-mails, we'll come up with ideas to talk about because it's weird talking to a stranger for an hour about random subjectsf' Birkel said. Sometimes, we have one of those awkward silences. If we have ideas to talk about, it really helps. To complete the project, students were required to put in nine hours total at least six different times with their partners. The video chats differed greatly from foreign pen pals. You're talking in real-time, I Mitchel Loring, sophomore in regional community planning, said. L'You're not writing about something that happened and then Waiting a week later to get a message back. This is something that you need to respond to right away. You can't have an 'LOU in a conversation. This option was great for flexibility of students' schedules as well as making new friends. Most of all, it gave students the opportunity to exchange cultural differences and learn to speak Spanish fluently. Students don't have a lot of confidence in their abilities to converse with native speakers, but they typically do have the ability to converse on a wide variety of subjects, Kanost said. They just need some experience. 107- i108 aa, '- the s e st U d e nts y Most undergraduate courses at the university required little to no research for graduation requirements. As a psychology graduate T iiii T ' student, they had to go the distance to choose, prepare and conduct a study in order to graduate. by Ericl-Iostetler T RESEARCH Undergraduate students gathered around the conference table as Iericho Hockett, graduate student in psychology, presented the next step in research. Whether it was how people reacted to specific stereotypes or why a person chose certain tastes rather than another, surveys were being filled and data were being collected. The research laid specific groundwork of continued findings for psychology students and professors. Everybody has things that theyire working on and different topics and different aspects of research that they're developingf' Gary Brase, associate professor of psychology, said. During their studies, graduate students had specific research projects they started and worked on for their degree that tended to last a full two semesters. People who go into graduate school have to be driven to be successfulf Brase said. l'They have to enjoy doing research because of what research is: uncovering the truth about how the world worksf' The research was an in-depth process. The first step was to come up with an idea, which could take anywhere from a few days to an entire semester We have to look at the background research to make sure it's a legitimate course of action to pursue, Iericho Hockett, graduate student in psychologi said. It has to have a solid, theoretical basis before our adviser will let us start giving surveys and questionnaires to various peoplef, After the idea was established, the ne step was to come up with the different measures to use for their research. This involved gathering materials, organizin, their ideas, and setting up data collectit sions. From there, it was a matter of rlyzing the data and writing a report. 2 report could be a poster or a written ort consisting of 20 to 50 pages to 'mit for publication. Publications are the biggest factor in at people consider success, Brase said. :ans of the schools will refer to it as the .n of the realmf Thatls what people will luate you byf, Hockett's research analyzed the mation of prejudice, including the 'erent types of oppressive beliefs. One cific topic she researched was on the perceptions of rape victims. She found from collected research of other sources that most people perceived rape victims negatively and that there needed to be more research on the subject. There needs to be more research done that looks at a wider range of victim, crime and perpetrator characteristics, Hockett said. Maybe she's presented provocatively or as having gotten drunk at a party or as having multiple sexual partners. These are all reflective of stereotypes about rape victims that don't actually fit what we see rape victims as in the real world. More research needs to be done that looks at a more realistic representation of rape victims. The research that graduate students did was important for the career that lay ahead. Whether they had a job as a researcher or as a professor of psychology, research played a significant role. For graduate students, it's really important for them to be able to demonstrate their proficiency to get a job, Brenda McDaniel, assistant professor of psychology, said. At every single step, doing research is going to be beneficial for your career.

The story of its history made him proud to play there. I was really moved by the place because it was bombed in 1940 by Germans, he said. The original structure of the cathedral still stands in ruins with a cross in burned timber preserved from the bombing? A new cathedral was built next to it, which was the one Littrell played in. After all flights were cancelled due to a volcanic ash cloud, Littrell and his wife were held three extra days. They took advantage of this delay and went sight seeing.

By making a required program for all incoming freshman to take before classes started, the university hoped to diminish negative consequences of alcohol use by students. AlcoholEdu was designed to educate students about alcohol and alcohol-related issues. AlcoholEdu for College was a program created by Outside the Classroom Inc., an organization dedicated to reducing alcohol-related risk and preventing harm. Over 500 colleges and universities nationwide used the curriculum. It was designed to directly target and program to stop students from drinking, but merely to inform them about alcohol and all aspects involved with drinking. 'KWeire not saying don't drinkf, Arck said. What students tell us is when it comes to partying and having a good time, they don't want to be embarrassed, they don't want to get hurt and they donit want their alcohol use to impact their academic performancefi Arck believed this program would allow students inform college students about alcohol. The program included interactive exercises, videos, tests and reports.

We are aware of the students, non-students and townsfolk who go to the emergency room here in Manhattan every weekend with alcohol poisoning. We realized there this outf' alt just underscores K-Statels commitment to the health and welfare of our students, Bill Arck, counseling services director, said. It is a non- opinionated research and theory based program that is really the cutting edge of alcohol education. It talks about alcohol and how it affects the body and the mind, warning signs and how to party safe. Last year, Brandon Busteed, founder and CEO of Outside the Classroom, made a presentation to a group of teachers, administrators and students. Arck described Busteed as uvery brightv and very articulatef' l'He knew his stufff Arck said. Everyone was so impressed that Dr. Bosco looked for funding for it and actually came up with not just one year but four years of funding for the program. The university was not trying to use this Arck said the problem with a program like this is that results were difficult to measure. K'Measuring the effects of programs on alcohol and alcohol-related behaviors is extremely difficultf' Arck said. 'KThe thing about AlcoholEdu is it is research based. It looks like it has moderated extreme use and cut down on a per occasion number of drinks. So their research of 500 institutions, tens of thousands of students, says it looks like it is effective? However, Saraya Penner, freshman in restaurant and hotel management, believed the program wasn't effective enough to make an actual change. 'KI think itls just something to make the university look good, Penner said.

Iniury: 599,000 students between the ages of i8 and 24 are unintentionally injured under the influence of alcohol. Assault: 696,000 students between the ages of i8 and 24 are assaulted by another student who has been drinking. Sexual Abuse: 972000 students between the ages of 'I8 and 24 are victims of alcohol- related sexual assault or date rape. Unsafe Sex: 400,000 students between the ages of 18 and 24 had unprotected sex and more than l00,000 students between the ages ot i8 and 24 report having been too intoxicated to know if they consented to having sex. Academic Problems: About 25 percent of college students report academic consequences ot their drinking including missing class, falling behind, doing poorly on exams or papers, and receiving lower grades overall. Health ProblemslSuicide Attempts: More than i50,000 students develop an alcohol-related health problem, and between l.2 and l.5 percent ot students indicate that they tried to commit suicide within the past year due to drinking or drug use. mf 2 Continued from page ll2 They're going to drink if they want to.', She believed the program could be improved by interviewing students with more diverse views on alcohol and drinking. Madison Oles, freshman in secondary education, also believed the program was ineffective. It was a little too long and the information just kept repeating itself. It was super boring, Oles said. ul learned nothing new because it was the same stuff you learn in all the seminars and classes they make you take throughout high schoolf, Oles said the program did not influence her attitudes about drinking. Alt may help some kids, but I honestly think K-State makes us do it to make the school look betterf, Oles said. If other schools see the students at K-State all actively participated, they will think more highly of usf, Arck, however, believed the program did what it was supposed to by providing students with information. One in five of our students don't drink alcoholic beverages, so for them itis just a program about the effects of alcohol. The vast majority of our students drink moderately and responsibly most of the time and then we have a very small percentage of our students who drink way too much, way too often, Arck said. H50 this program is one that teaches them the basic information and has them think about their own choices so that as they come to K-State they are well prepared with information. Vtfhether or not they make good choices all the time is still up to them. Because the program has been purchased for four years, it will allow the university to measure its effects on students and their drinking to a degree. At the end of this, basically all of our students on campus will have gone through the program, Arck said. At that point we can look at DUIs, MIPS and hospital visits, as well as asking the Dean of Student Life personnel, the residence halls and the Greek chapters to see if they believe that it has had an effect. Research conducted by AlcoholEdu concluded that after taking the program, 72 percent of students said they knew more about alcohol and blood alcohol concentration, 70 percent of students said they would recommend the program to other students and 89 percent of students said they actually paid attention to the program. The evaluation of students who completed the program showed that 50 percent had less negative health, social and academic consequences related to drinking versus students who had not completed the program. The research is theref, Arck said. It,s not an inexpensive program but I applaud the university for finding the money to do this. I think it may be the best thing weive done for alcohol abuse prevention since I've been here. an Drunk Driving: 3,360,000 students between the ages of l8 and 24 drive under the influence of alcohol. Vandalism: About ll percent of college student drinkers report that they have damaged property while under the influence of alcohol. Property Damage: More than 25 percent of administrators from schools with relatively low drinking levels and over 50 percent from schools with high drinking levels say their campuses have a moderate or major problem with alcohol-related property damage. Police Involvement: About 5 percent of 4-year college students are involved with the police or campus security as a result of their drinking, and ll0,000 students between the ages of l8 and 24 are arrested for an alcohol-related violation such as public drunkenness or driving under the influence. Alcohol Abuse and Dependence: 31 percent of college students met criteria for a diagnosis of alcohol abuse and 6 percent for a diagnosis of alcohol dependence in the past l2 months, according to questionnaire- based self-reports about their drinking.

Steven Coen, senior in finance and entrepreneurship, and Iordan Sterling, senior in management, designed the website called MyRibit.com in a new venture creation class and won first place at the 2010 K-State Next Big Thing Competition. The 53,000 they won from the competition was put towards bringing MyRibit.com to life. It was a website that had a free market exchange, contributed by the students that allowed users to buy and sell items such as books and school supplies, athletic tickets, apartment subleases and even promote events to students. I see all these notes sites, sites to sell your books, tickets and school supplies, and I thought, 'What if you just combine them all into one for free? ' Coen said. K'So that's what we did? Coen said Sterling got in contact with him after the competition was over and wanted to create the website. They created it with three topics in mind: resource files, books and supplies, and teacher recommendations. It was specific to K-State students and was designed so they could go onto the site and directly upload their own notes and study guides for classes they had taken right onto the website. Students could even write recommendations for teachers they liked. Taylor Phillipi, sophomore in kinesiology, said he found out about MyRibit.com when other guys in his fraternity started uploading their old textbooks onto the website. Phillipi said he uses MyRibit.com to sell his old textbooks over other websites such as craigslist.com and halfcom. This was specific to K-State studentsf' Phillipi said. I felt more comfortable using it and knowing that pretty much only other students were on it. The website cost 51,000 to build, and the funds from the competition were used to start the site. Sterling and Coen said after the website was complete the only thing it cost them to keep it going was their time. They met in their new venture creation class where the website was started, and Coen estimated since then they put about 3,000 hours of work toward running the website. K'We just met in class, but now he's like my best friend, Sterling said. We spend a lot of time togetherf' Sterling said the website got an estimated 150 visitors a day since it was created on Dec. 6, and about 13 percent of campus had visited the website since then as well. Right now we're working on a user incentivef' Coen said. Coen said they worked on an incentive for people who use the site a lot, such as the more posts a student had the more points they got, and eventually would get a type of score card or gift card for the site. We want to give back to those students who give to us, Sterling said. Students could follow MyRibit.com on Twitter and become fans on Facebook, and Sterling and Coen were working on a marketing plan to make MyRibit.com more widely known. They said they planned on keeping the website going even after they graduate. Weld potentially take it to other universities, Sterling said. There's been some interest from Duke.

By sophomore year, students usually knew how the grind of school worked: listen in class, study hard and take a test. However, for a theater major, each semester was a new character and a new role developed through practice after practice. 'Theater is such a large time commitment and it's so much dedication in the way that we study and perfect our craftf' Gil Perez- Abraham, sophomore in theater, said. ultis almost like a pre-professional schoolfi At the beginning of each semester, all of the actors auditioned for a whole semester worth of shows. They were either cast in a production or helped with the technical work. ul have been pretty blessed and have been cast every single semester so far since l've ll8 been a freshmanf' Perez-Abraham said. uAs a requirement, we have to be involved in at least one production every semesterfi Perez-Abraham did not start doing theater until his junior year of high school. He was dared to try out for his school musical and was cast as the lead. He continued doing other musicals at his high school but it wasn't until he worked his first professional show that he decided he was set on doing theater for the rest of his life. ul was lucky enough to work professional theater right after high school doing High School Musical in which they were looking for younger performersf' Perez-Abraham said. He was the youngest cast member at 17 years old, while all of the other performers were in or out of college. I just saw all these actors who were pursuing acting full time, like that was their jobfi Perez-Abraham said. 'il realized there w nothing I would rather do for the rest of rr life then share my emotions with people? Balancing practices, productions and classes was a very demanding task as a thea major. i'Ultimately, my priority is schoolf' Perez Abraham said. Even though we're pursuing acting, you still want to have good grades when you graduate from college. lf you nee back- up plan you will still have to go out ar apply for 'normal' jobsfi This could easily be forgotten in the life 1 a theater major because most time was sper :using on roles in upcoming productions. something else at the same time and it won't The biggest challenge is that as a take up all my time and distract me.

Jnologues, learning scenes, and being part I was alittle bit reserved because I wasnlt a play, but as a student at a state university I sure yet if I wanted to devote my life to this o have to concentrate on schoolf, 'crapi and I didn't know how much I actually Perez-Abraham originally came to K-State loved it, Perez-Abraham said. 'IAS an actor th a double major in political science and you watch people quit all the time, whether eatre but decided to drop the political it's in professional theater or on TV because ence major and minor in business. they just get to the point where its not worth The reason I added the business minor is it to them anymoref' at to diversify myself in case I need a back-up After college, Perez-Abraham planned J, Perez-Abraham said.

He was interested mainly I if Reita in musical theater performing, and that seemed like the right city for him. 'Tll just audition, audition, audition and see what happensf' he said. It just depends what audition I get lucky atf' Perez-Abraham saw his theater performances as his way of giving back to society. Everybody has a gift that they can offer to society, he said. UI think that what I can offer to society is to share my talent, share my feelings and share my emotions and kind of like portray these characters that can change somebodyis life.

The Kansas State Tap Ensemble performed aTap-A-Grams year-round, but Valentineis Day was their busiest holiday. About a week before school starts in the fall, we all get together and have a sort of boot camp training session to learn all the tap routines for each holiday or occasion to music, Heather Haberberger, senior in vocal performance and music theater, said. This is also when we video tape the e-grams Ce-mail tap-a-gramsl that also get sent out. The cost to send a loved one a Tap-A-Gram was solely donation based, but they made around S10 for each one sold. The money went towards things like uniform polo shirts for the ensemble, traveling costs to attend a concert, or for basic equipment updates. 1'We are not a student club,', Iulie Pentz, associate professor in dance and artistic and managing director of the Tap Dance Ensemble, said. i'So it is nice to be able to use the money to maintain the equipment and ensemble once people graduate and leave the groupf, W'hen a student received a Tap-A-Gram, a group of tap dancers came into one of their classrooms during the school day and performed a choreographed dance number to a song specifically for that particular holiday. Beyond that, each Tap-A-Gram varied depending on which dancers came to perform it. I sometimes pull a student up to the front of the room, Amanda Meinhardt, junior in psychology, said. I really embarrassed a girl oncef, No matter the type of class, whether it is a lab, lecture or studio, the tap dancers' show had to go on. As often as they could, the tap ensemble would try to arrive at the class either toward the beginning or the end to avoid any type of inconveniences. However, when they did ccinterruptn with the personalized Tap-A-Gram, they got many different reactions from the professors and students. ul only really get nervous when the teacher doesn't seem too into itf, Michelle Dick, senior in kinesiology, said. alt kind of kills the moodf, Despite some unwanted stares and looks of confusion, the dancers put their heart into each performance. Durland Hall may not have been the ideal location for an impromptu tap show, but with the motivation of raising money for the tap program, the dancers headed into the large lecture hall to deliver the special performance to one lucky engineering student. 121- by Erin Poppc Clrwrzwfmrwrf11,f:14Y1:r'u nw li VWHUK UVH !HN'Q'f '7UiHZV Jf' !1fYl'!1'f 'N K w T'wvMiH!:,'1r'1I:HIGH vf'I'1' F' :ll NHT' Vw-I w :X 'z ,' M1-1 '1 w- ,'.?!:!' ,'1r'n-'Z' .

At least it did for Bryce Cummings, sophomore in architecture. As a sophomore, Cummings followed his passion of Lego building to K-State's Architecture Planning and Design school. I always said that I wanted to do residential design, but I donit think that was fair. I hadn,t been exposed to something too far removed from designing a house. But we worked on a project called Craft's Center for the Kansas City Craftls Guild. There was a lot more freedom to it. Cummings knew that there were other choices for Architecture students in terms of majors. Each offered something new to the all-encompassing program. It was his decision to stay in the main Architecture Planning and Design school. A decision he made back before he had even made a decision to enroll at K-State. K'In high school we had a really great architecture teacher, Cummings said. I took classes with him all four years, ranging from mechanical engineering to architecture and design. He had given me a desire to learn and do everything I couldf' But Cummings learned that the Architecture major demanded complete confidence in the major. By the end of his freshman year 56 students had dropped. Erin Poppe reach away. Yet Cummings stuck with it, and was happy in his choice too. I knew it was going to be time consuming, said Cummings about the hours he put into his major. My old neighbor was in the program, so I heard a bit about what it was like. And the college didn't hide the fact that this becomes your life. VVhen he finished his freshman project, Cummings remembered prospective students wandering the halls of Seaton on a campus tour. There were easily ten people sleeping on the large staircase, and 80 others or so still working, he said. It wouldn't have looked odd, except for the fact it was at 10 a.m. The students had been working in studio all nightf, And it was not abnormal at all for students to go sleepless for days during project crunch time. Cummings' personal record has been 48 hours without sleep, but he protested there were students that have gone even longer than that. But at the end of the day, it was what Cummings and the students signed up for when they declared a major of Architecture. For any prospective students, I always told them one thing, said Cummings. Make sure this is what you want to do. Even though there were times where I was overwhelmed, I don,t think I would have enjoyed anything else nearly as much. There were easily ten people sleeping onthe large staircase, and 80 others or so still working, he said. lt wouldn't have looked odd, except tor the tact it was at lO a.m. The students had been working in studio all night.

It's not necessarily so but we think they fulfill the assignment requirements. One of the most useful examples was the paper for English 200 that required students to think critically about a problem on campus. kiln English 200 they pick a problem on campus or the local area and they try to find a solution in order to solve this problemf' Marzluf said. L'It's very easy for students to slide into a generic way of thinking in which parking is the problem. Papers that take a new perspective or angle on something and ones that are doing things different are the ones that stand outfl Students found themselves using the book as a way not only to improve their stories but to organize their thoughts and come up with ways to better understand the assignment. uSome of the papers get pretty lengthy and when youlre trying to cram all your ideas into one you find your ideas get jumbled togetherfl Deanne Petersen, sophomore in regional and community planning, said. Reading the examples gives you a clear distinction of where the thesis is, where they used research and where their own ideas are so you can see how you need to layout your paper so you can get a really good grade in the class. The book wasnlt just used for students, however. lt acted as a guide for the graduate teaching assistants so they could better understand their students, level of writing in the classroom. Not only does 'Prairie Lights' serve as a guide for my students, it provides me with a valuable teaching tool and a way to recognize my studentls perspectivesfl Iohn Kulikowski, graduate teaching assistant, said. HI can show them how a sample essay in Prairie Lights' has been constructed, and then have them deconstruct their own essays in the same manner. As I work with each student, this process helps me to identity strengths and potential areas of improvement, both for the student and for myselfll fi' U , TM L , 4 ww M .Q .Q Q 0 prairie ligl If I II 1126 1 :- W1' 1 i vga- -4 Mix' . . .

Llsle Alderlon Doctors in troinin by Eric Hostetler Veterinary students at the university take ci trip to the Topeka Zoo to see what it's like behind the scenes or cz zoo veterenarian. Many veterinary students go through veterinary school studying for their courses to get their veterinary medicine degree. What some of them don't realize is the experience they need dealing with veterinary medicine outside of classes. To help give students that experience, the veterinary school created several organizations including the Exotic Animal Medicine Club CEAMCJ. UA lot of them will join because they want to be in exotic veterinary medicine, but for some of them, they may be curious about the held, Anna Faro, first year veterinary student, said. Students who are interested in a mixed field of practice need a lot of variety and can come to the Exotic Animal Medicine Club and see what kind of variety we have. The club was visited by Dr. Shirley Llizo, zoo veterinarian at the Topeka Zoo, on March l. Llizo was a famous veterinarian born in Singapore and has worked at the Branc Zoo, London Zoo, and the Houston Zoo. Shes extremely experienced and definitely a go to person for exotic animal information, Faro said. 4'Sheis definitely a big name in exotic animal medicine. Llizo gave them the opportunity to go behind the scenes at the Topeka Zoo and see what a zoo veterinarian does. The EAMC made that trip March 7. Once there, the tour began by looking at some of the larger animals, such as elephants, and see how they were able to take care of them when they were sick. uWe know what the daily life of a normal vet is like so it was good to get this experience for a lot ofthe students, Philip Allen, second year veterinary student and president of EAMC, said. c'Usually it's 'Wlizit do you want to do? Well 1 want to work with lions, and tigers, and bears, oh my., Therels a lot more to it than just working with those exotic animals. There's a lot involved. After viewing the elephant cages, Llizo brought them into the zoo hospital for a tour to see what they did for smaller exotic animals. 'KThis hospital is not as fancy as other zoo hospitals like San Diego, St. Louis, Kansas City Zoo, and Sedgwick Countyf' Llizo said. K'But a lot of times l believe it's not so much the hospital as it is whose running it that makes it really goodfl Although the hospital was small, students were able to see behind the scenes of a zoo veterinarian and get a good idea of the demand being one has compared to a normal vet. 'lhssentially all of those animals are your petsf' Allen said. lfl were the normal vet and I were to see your dog, I would see him when he's sick during the day. If he had an emergency, you would take him to the emergency vet. X my .1 t. ,, 1 4 get Q peck With zoo vets, they're both of those. Veterinary students had a great opportunity with the EAMC because it gave them exposure to a wide range of animals. Exotic animals included all non- standard animals or animals you wouldn't see in a vetis office or on a farm. There,s going to be a greater need for those types of veterinarians and so itis important to have exposure to all different speciesf, Palo said. Those of us who aren't specifically wanting to be an exotic animal veterinarian can certainly come and get exposure. That way, in the future, they have someone to turn to if they get a strange case? The EAMC also held meetings once a month to correlate with each other for upcoming events. They also brought in a professional representing a particular aspect of exotic animal medicine to speak to them and help them gain the experience they needed as a veterinary student. It's an opportunity to be exposed to it but also to learn about how you're going to interact with clients when they bring those animals inf, Allen said. You can never be too experienced because either you've never experienced it before so it's your first time experiencing it or you've seen it before but youire learning new skills about how to handle it more in practicef' The main purpose of the EAMC and other clubs in the veterinary school was to open a doorway for students by giving them professional contacts for the future. The club provided names for students to use for internships, externships and questions as well as resources to use once they became veterinarians. Experience is the biggest thingf' Palo said. uYou can study all day and night, but you really won't know what veterinary medicine is about, you won't know what that small section of veterinary medicine does until you go out and start talking to people like Dr. Llizof, ,,. m,,,.,....,,,0...,.-W 1291 H130 BRI GI KA HOME The crowd Hooded McCain auditorium as the doors flung open. Silence filled the air as the lights slowly dimmed. The sound of classical strings broke the silence with a soft melody. The crowd went wild with screams and hollers as four silhouettes entered onto the stage. Then the quiet sounds of classical music were dissipated as rock music rang through the auditorium. It wasnlt often that McCain hosted celebrities such as these. I have not seen them before and I'm really excited, Abby Laughlin, junior in biology, said. The classic rock band Kansas performed in McCain auditorium Ian. 28 with the university orchestra. The orchestra was given orchestral pieces to play along with the songs by Kansas. Usually welre playing music by composers that are pretty old, most of them dead, Ben MacGill, senior in applied music, said. So this was a newer style and less symphonic and classical. It was a change of pace for the orchestra and new to us. Kansas came through on their tour to celebrate Kansas Day, the state's 150th anniversary, which took place on Ian. 29.

Iohann Coetzee, an associate professor of clinical pharmacology, is one of three researchers studying bovine lameness at Kansas State. He said how there are several causes of bovine lameness including high concentrate, high acid diets and keeping cattle on concrete flooring. Heavier cattle and higher reproducing cattle are also more susceptible. Ulncreasingly, consumers are becoming concerned about how we raise cattle in this country and so looking at these populations of cows that are housed this way and that are lame - it's a major animal welfare issue, Coetzee said. Bovine lameness, also known as laminitis, causes the cow to become tender-footed, sometimes to the point of hardly putting weight on the foot. It is more widespread in dairy cattle with an average of eight to 10 percent of dairy cattle in the United States being lame at one time. This percentage can be as high as 30 to 40 percent at times. Overall, an estimated 1 million dairy cows are lame at any given time in the United States. uThe main issue is to communicate to producers what you can do about it, Coetzee said. Economically, bovine lameness takes a toll. It reduces the amount of milk that is produced, and the cow is also unable to become pregnant. lt costs about S200 per head to help treat the cattle by reducing the symptoms of the disease. Management is most important when it comes to treating and preventing bovine lameness. David Anderson, professor of clinical sciences, said the goal in managing lameness is to prevent it. The importance to research the topic is about preventing lameness primarily so that you preserve animal genetics and improve animal welfare, Anderson said. Vtfhile bovine lameness is a big problem in the U.S because of high concentrate nutrition, it is also a common issue in New Zealand and the United Kingdom. In those locations cattle are raised on the pasture, which decreases the chances oflameness due to the cattle's diet, but the problem instead lies within the environment. Because those locations are usually wet or moist, the cattle are continuously standing in mud, which is exposing them to the disease. nKansas State University and the research teams here at the veterinary school are deeply concerned with addressing the need of cattle and things that negatively impact animal welfare as well as helping the producers taking the most out oftheir genetics,',Anderson said. We're dedicated to that mission and lameness is one of those areas? UTS ya. 'H- -in .W W M N mm ,, 4,4 , . f , - - N J i M ., 'EU' -.ue 3 7,i,gg -Gs I W I in ww . f .

Being under the direction ofa graduate student forced the students to step up and take ownership for the success of their shows. alt was a new learning experience for everyone in the groupf' Alyssa Peppiatt, freshman in open option, said. 'llt caused stressful times when it came to trying new things that took us out of our comfort zone, but in the end it was necessary for the growth of both the grad student and the singers. After being co-director for three years, Yu said it was difficult to step back for a semester, but she was impressed with the leadership that came from the group. It was very interesting because the first show was so good and we had nothing to do with itf' Yu said. uThat just tells you how hard the students worked. They have always been student led and student oriented, there was a lot ofleadership from within. For the first show of the year, the members went out and found outfits on their own for the finale. In past shows, the group had few costume changes and by Nicole Delirie had worn the outfits they purchased at the beginning of the year for the entire show. Yu said this proved they were that invested in the group and truly wanted to be a part of it. This year's group was smaller in numbers than the past. It was composed of only six females and six males, while in previous years the group had up to nine males and nine females. We do a balanced number of males and females because we do a lot of partner dancingfl Bogner said. 'iWe tightened up our numbers but increased the qualityf, Having a smaller group brought the members closer together. They spent more time with one another on weekends and outside of practice, something not all groups have done in the past. uThey hung out a lot more and it was like a small familyf' Bogner said. 1'Because the numbers are smaller, they really went out of their way to increase comraderyf, In addition to the I0 hours of rehearsal a week, Yu said the singers averaged about 20 performances a semester, which includes their big shows as well as other things such as scholarship days, senior days and performances throughout the state for any civic groups or large celebrations that need entertainment. By spending this much time together, the singers became more than just a show choir. aThe smaller numbers in the group caused us to truly become close to one another, Peppiatt said. uMy fellow singers are my family here at K-State. We learned a lot about each other through our talents in class and our social life outside of class. 141- -142 H1 gh by Cheyanne Alvarado Clean-up With hearts of service and helping hands, members of Phi Delta Theta made a difference in the Manhattan community.

K'Our members are required to go to two out of three of those a semester? During the fall semester, the chapter held four service projects. These consisted of a highway cleanup, lending a hand at an animal shelter, and working at a track meet. VVhen we take part in community service projects, l honestly have so much fun that it makes me enjoy volunteering more on my own as wellf' Matthew Dodge, junior in construction science and management, said. HVVhenever an opportunity arises, I am always willing to help, whether it be helping a buddy move or picking up trash on a highway. If a member failed to attend his required amount of service projects, he would be given a monetary fine. This was a rare occasion, however, because of the fun and simple way the fraternity had its projects set up. It's really not that hard,', Rezner said. It used to be that we had five community service hours that you had to do. No one would do them or they would forget. It's a lot easier and more fun doing the service as a chapter instead of individuallyf' The fraternity also held a philanthropic golf tournament in August that many alumni attended. The tournament raised 52,500 for ALS Association, which is the fraternityls international philanthropy. ALS stands for Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis. The ALS Association is a non-profit organization that aims to treat and cure Lou Gehrig's Disease. This association is special to Phi Delta Theta because Baseball Hall of Famer Lou Gehrig, after which the disease is named, was a fraternity alumnus. Lou Gehrigis disease affects the nerve cells in the central nervous system causing the loss of all voluntary muscle movement, Christopher Lara, chapter secretary and sophomore in journalism and mass communications, said. As a member of Phi Delta Theta, I think it is important to raise awareness about the disease, help raise money for research to find a cure, and help out those who are unfortunate to have been diagnosed with the disease. Aside from the golf tournament and the community service, Phi Delta was hoping to create an even bigger way to serve. Welre looking at starting a thing called Dance Marathon? Rezner said. uWe are the only Big 12 school that doesn't have that. lt's a big thing across the nation. The concept of the charity dance marathon arose in the 1970s when schools like Penn State and Northwestern University brought together students, faculty, and staff to participate in 30 straight hours of dancing, games, and fun in order to benefit childrenis hospitals. Since its first year in 1973, Penn State's Dance Marathon called TI-IONU has raised nearly S60 million to defeat pediatric cancer. We would really like to bring that here and help headline it,', Rezner said. The successes of Phi Delta Thetals many service projects and charitable events were proof that their philanthropic future is bright N L fm! .www ,W , H ,f- fmm f, 'A 99?

The occasional student athlete passed followed by a faculty member and a prospective student. However, every Tuesday afternoon, the subtle footprints made by the combination of thousands of students, feet and sidewalk chalk were overlapped by interesting patterns made by dozens of bike tracks. Unicyclists United, a group founded this year, held its Tuesday meetings outside of the union to spark interest in the new club. The gatherings included the members riding around, testing tricks and skills on the unicycle until they were worn out for the day. l'Outside of our weekly meetings, we meet throughout the week to get together and ride around campus and the rest of Manhattan, Levi Delissa, sophomore in industrial engineering, said. The club was initially started by a group of students, including Levi Smith, freshman in communication studies, who had realized this growing trend needed to be recognized on campus. l'With 25,000 students at the university, it is definitely time to promote unicyclingf' Smith said. Wfhether each member became interested in riding a unicycle from family members or from an impulsive eBay purchase, this club was open to anyone at any skill level. L'We really encourage teaching people who are interested because it's exciting to have more members in the group, Delissa said. I actually learned how to unicycle by using a pair of crutches to balance and lcrutched' around town for a month until I caught onf' This uncommon sport gained momentum around campus, and more than likely a student would see a unicyclist during their walks from class to class. Ben Leuthold, freshman in electrical engineering, came into the club as an experienced unicycle rider. ul have managed to only get a few scrapes riding around campus, Leuthold said. '4That's normal bike stuff., Extreme balance and convenience were two of the main components that set riding a unicycle apart from a standard bicycle. With the exception of the live-foot unicycle that might have been spotted around campus, a typical unicycle had shown to be portable and practical. 'll think the main difference between bicycling and unicycling is that unicycling is a lot more funf, Delissa said. 'lYou can definitely be creative with a unicycle. You can dance and play around with tricks while you are on it. Being creative is definitely one of my favorite partsf' The small number of students who founded the organization displayed their hobby as they traveled to each building. With each turn of the wheel, Unicyclists United became a more recognized name on campus. H STU' 4 H WNCJW n' , cm EVO -' Milli! H ws WN ,W A rw O4 V.

Beauty - it's not one definition, the 'perfectf ideal type of thingfi Boardman, a slender, brunette, Chi Omega with a stunningly white smile, said. uliveryone is beautiful. Everyone sees it in a different way. Unfortunately though, Boardman said, society projects one ideal: a thin and long- legged woman with sun-kissed skin, blond hair, blue eyes, big breasts and poise to boot. aThe 'perfect' woman is what society pounds into our headsf she said. lt sticks. Women beat themselves down about it if they don't f1t.', This is not to say men did not go without their fair share of the same pressures, she added. f'Eating disorders and body image are more focused toward women because there's a larger number of women that do have them, but men dofi Boardman said.

Project Purple raised 512,843.02 in two months through T-shirt sales and business donations. For every 51,000 raised, a letter on Manhattan Hill was covered with purple fabric-the color of cystic fibrosis awareness and the university. After raising S9,000, all nine letters on the hill were covered. We were trying to raise awareness about cystic fibrosis, so it just made sense to do something that the whole public could see and get involved inf' Winston Wolf, co-founder and junior in architecture, said. Covering Manhattan Hill generated a lot of free publicity for Project Purple. With limited funds, the group reached a large number of Manhattan residents in a short time. There were booths set up at the K-State Student Union and in front ofWal- Mart and HyVee. Their goal was to raise 39,000 by Homecoming week and the T-shirt sales were so successful they were backordered. K'To exceed the goal by a third was crazy, I wasn't even sure we were going to have enough to cover the hill, Sierra Cuda, co-founder and junior in interior architecture and product design, said. Each letter on the hill took the group two hours of manual labor and many last minute runs to Wal-Mart. They bought all the purple fabric in Manhattan and had to travel to Topeka to buy more. Manhattan Parks and 6 oqwkow Recreation approved the idea to cover the hill but somehow the maintenance workers in charge never received the message. As quickly as the letter Mn was put up, it was taken down and thought to be a form of vandalism. 1'We were glad they didn't throw it away because we only ordered the exact amount of fabric we neededf' Felicia Balestrere, co-founder and junior in interior architecture and product design, said. It was expensive and a huge pain to get it here and a lot of hours of arguing with people on the phone? The Project Purple Campaign brought together people who had been affected personally by the disease. Students approached the group thanking them for their support and hard work. Because this was a student-oriented campaign, adults in the area were less receptive to the idea and were not aware the letters on the hill were going to be covered. In order to reach a larger audience, Project Purple buckets were distributed at home football games where people were asked to donate any kind of money that they had, and even the small change added up. At least S300 of the total funds that were collected came from change people had given. The group hoped to start a new tradition and have the hill covered every year during Homecoming week. alt was our pleasure to be a part or an organization that raises money for cystic fibrosis and to see how we're affecting people positively and that the community is really grateful for what we are doing makes all the work worth itf' Balestrere said.

From the very basic root of it we are an engineering competitive design team,'l Tim Mourlam, senior in mechanical engineering and Powercat Motorsports president, said. When the team first began in the late l99Os, it was a small group of engineers. Today, the group has grown into a team of about 25 dedicated students working throughout the year for one common goal. Powercat Motorsports has given me opportunities I certainly would not have had ifl had not joinedfl Karl Hertel, senior in industrial engineering, said. 'Not only has it given me real world experience, it has allowed me to further my professional career by playing the deciding factor in the decision for BMW to hire me as an intern. 152 For anybody that has a passion for cars, racing or being part of a great team, we are an expanding group always looking for new members regardless of majors. The teamns purpose was to design and create a formula-style car to race in an autocross-type course, which is a large, dynamic course with different curves and turns. They competed in the Formula Society of Automotive Engineers competitions. The concept behind Formula SAE was that a fictional manufacturing company had contracted a design team to develop a small formula-style racecar. Each student team designed, built and tested a prototype based on a series of rules whose purpose was both to ensure onsite event operations and promote clever problem solving. The competition we compete in is the largest one in the world, with about 500 engineering universities, Mourlam said. i'There are about a dozen of these competitions throughout the world, and we compete in the ones here in the United States, which are held in Michigan and California? The competition had two different aspen of judgment. The categories were static and dynamic events. During the static events, the- car was scrutinized by judges concerning the design of the vehicle, the cost to produce, an how the team could market it to potential investors or buyers. Each event took place in front of a panel ofjudges and required a she presentation followed by an intense questior and answer session. During the dynamic events, the actual driving took place. The for racing events were acceleration, skid pad, autocross and endurance.

K-State Proud was started in 2006 by Student Foundation leadership and other leaders from around campus. Its mission was to raise awareness of student philanthropy by raising money for students who could no longer afford to attend K-State, Today, all the money raised goes to K-State Proud Student Opportunity Awards. There are two types of Student Opportunity Awards. The first is the K-State Proud Award. This award is given to students who have exhausted all hnancial resources and are in danger of leaving K-State. These awards are allocated every week and there is no limit on the number or size of awards given. The second award is the K-State Hero Award, given to students who go above and beyond for the university. There are five K-State Hero Awards of S500 awarded each semester. 'The success of the K-State Proud campaign can be directly attributed to the students at K-State and their willingness to give to support their fellow students in need, Phillip Hafner, senior in IndustrialEngineering and co-chair of the 2010-2011 Proud campaign. l'The K-State Student Foundation is always among the top student foundations in the country. K-State Proud is a project of the Student Foundation which isa student organization that works with the KSU Foundation as ambassadors of philanthropy. K-State Proud is one of many programs within the Student Foundation. For a minimum donation of S10, students were able to receive a custom, K-State Proud t-shirt by donating February 14-19 in the student union, or in one ofthe residence hall cafeterias. The organization also hosted a table at the Salina campus for students to get their shirts. The shirts were also sold at any GTM location, and on the concourse of Bramlage Coliseum. Proud kicked off its 2011 campaign on Ianuary 25. K-State Proud is about giving back to the university and making a positive difference in the lives of our fellow students. K-State is unique in that it has a very close family feel among its students, faculty and stafff, Harner said. uBecause of this, we have the opportunity to affect positive change among our peers. K-State Proud is the perfect vehicle to make this change and impact others for the rest of their lives. For students at K-State, being 'Proudl has many connotations. Through academic and athletic excellence, students are excited to be a part of their university in any way. f'Being K-State Proud means one thing to me, Ella Rethman, sophomore in advertising said.

The mission of the organization was to create a structure and support system that helped K-State provide a superlative environment for the growth and advancement of all women. f'It's basically an organization to network and communicate and create opportunities for women? Schulz said. The organization was represented by a unique symbol: a tapestry. Each vertical strand within the tapestry represented the different roles women played on campus such as staff, faculty, administrators, future students, undergraduate students, graduate students, alumnae and friends. The vertical strands of the tapestry represented the different groups the women of K-State belonged to, such as women of color, sororities, athletes, early career, mothers, etc. The whole idea behind The Women of K-State is as an individual strand we're not that strong, but if we stand together weire very strong? Schulz said. VVhen these strands were woven together, they made a tapestry known as The Women of K-State. The organization believed when each individual strand was woven together they made a strong network of women. Annie Oliver, senior in life sciences and student body president, was invited by Schulz to be on the leadership team for the Women of K-State. 'As a leader in Student Government, I have looked up to several women in student leadership positions ever since I was a freshman? Oliver said. uThe Women of K-State really expands upon that inspiration and invites all K-State women to have those same experiences in a diverse and cultured manner? Oliver said her favorite aspect of the organization is that it gave women an opportunity to meet other female leaders who came from all walks of life. Having a Womenis leadership organization is a unique and important part of the campus because it not only identifies strong females who currently serve at the university, but also provides support to these women? Oliver said. Schulz also looked for other women in leadership positions on campus. She invited Kara Dillard, graduate student in sociology and former president of the Graduate Student Council, to help spearhead the Women of K-State project. I was surprised there were not a lot of women student leaders on campus with any sort of decision- making or advisory power, Dillard said. I was very excited to be asked to be a part of this group and I hope we will start to see more women stepping into leadership positions on campus? Dillard said Schulz and the leaders of the organization created networking groups for women to meet other women with same backgrounds and experiences. This type of network or connection is invaluable in boosting morale in women on campus, Dillard said. The Women of K-State held events at women's basketball and volleyball games supporting womenis teams, had group activities such as bowling or lunches, watched theatre perfonnances, and had networking sessions, among others. It's basically a support network for women related to K-State? Schulz said, but this really helps all people on campus. We touch on safety issues, lights issues, child care and a lot of other things that arenit gender specific? The organization got women leaders on campus together to see how they could leverage each other and worked on planning events ahead of time so more women could attend more events on campus. Dillard said the Women of K-State also had the opportunity to work with the Presidential Commission for the Status of Women on issues such as finding space for nursing mothers on campus outside of restroom stalls. Every year the university has a diversity seminar, and this year the seminaris main focus was on women. I look forward to seeing our group spread across the campus and community in the near future? Oliver said. Schulz said she had a lot of plans for the organization in the years to come, and she wanted to see the organization grow. My grand scheme goal is to every year have a seminar and have alums come back and talk to K-State students, Schulz said. Schulz said the organization was looking to expand its student impact, but they were not trying to replace any of the organizations that were already on campus. Part of the reason this is so important to me is as a woman in engineering we're a minority, we want to seek out others? Schulz said.

Debating about which Star Wars series trumps the others or discussing the relevance of icons in ancient Greek history arenlt typical ways to start a meeting. For the universityis quiz bowl team, this is a very normal start to their unique meetings. Quiz bowl is a game of questions and answers on all topics of human knowledge. The team at the university met twice a week to practice their trivia skills and expand their intellectual capacity. uWe meet regularly to practice our skills and to tell jokes in bad tastef Ben Detrixhe, sophomore in geography, said. The best way to get good at quiz bowl is to read past packets from tournamentsf' Tournament packets are composed of questions and answers about specihc topics such as Harry Potter or continental geography. The questions at tournaments and in the practice packets are very wordy, Scott Roberts, freshman in mechanical engineering said. Some of the topics are boring, but every once in a while you get something awesome, like Pokemon? The team competed in regional tournaments several times each year. At these competitions, two teams of four to five members competed for the highest number of points. A moderator read the questions to the teams, whose players buzzed in with the correct answer, and thus, scored points for their team. uYou learn to pay attention inside and outside of the classroomf' Mike Uphoff, graduate student in political science and founding member ofthe quiz bowl team, said. 'iYou have to stay up on current events because those questions tend to rear their heads in tournaments One competition the team participated in each fall was a national tournament at Truman State. The Academic Competition Federation hosted the competition and the event drew participants from a variety of colleges in the Midwest. Traditionally, we have had pretty good success at tournamentsf' Roberts said. l'Washington University, Truman State University and the University of Illinois have given us a hard time though, those schools are definitely our biggest competitors. Team members attributed their success at tournaments to classes they took at the university. ul have found certain classes to be pretty helpful, Uphoff said.

Since its return in 2005, trapshooting became widely known and evolved greatly. The trapshooting club used clay pigeons that were shot from a machine called the Ktrap housef, The team traveled to different schools in the nation and competed for the highest overall score. The competitive members participated as individuals and as a squad, which was made up of live shooters. uUsually you are scored out of 100 and someone will be behind you keeping score, president Sal Van Lerberg, senior in construction science and management, said. i'That way, if you think you have visual separation of the target, you can dispute the call made by the score keeper in order to get an X, or one pointf' Members were not required to travel because sometimes the sport could get expensive. On average, it cost about S300 per shooter to go compete at other schools. Most shooters decided where they wanted to go based on the type of shoot being offered at the competition, some preferred trap and others preferred skeet. HK-State is more of a trap team than a skeet team, but our members get to experience both during competitions around the countryf' Van Lerberg said. Although trap and skeet may have seemed similar, there were many characteristics that make them more appealing to different types of shooters. Trap required only one trap house and skeet had 2, a high and low house. Trap had one clay pigeon that was shot out straight from five posts and skeet was shot out at different angles from eight posts. There were a few rules that a shooter had to abide by in order to make sure the shoots were regulation. During skeet, you have to hoop the two targets at a white post in between the high house and low house, Andy Shoen, senior in mechanical engineering said. uSometimes you have to adjust the house to make them regulation because of the windf' Trapshooting club was open to any student at the university. lt didnlt matter if students were experienced shooters, the team accepted anyone willing to learn and contribute to the team.

In corner one was The Sexcapades, an all girls undergraduate team ready to show off their sexpertise. In corner two was Car Ramrod, an all-male team of animal science graduate students prepared to dominate. These were two of the five teams who made it to the finals of Battle of the Sexperts held March 1. Teams of five to six students tested their sexual knowledge at the annual event sponsored by Lafene Health Center, SHAPE, Healthy Decisions and the Student Governing Association. Kaitlyn Tompkins, president of SHAPE and senior in secondary education, said the competition, which has been going strong since the 1990s, was a fun, educational way to learn information so that people could gain knowledge about their sexual identity, to know where they stand on sexuality - their true selfv SHAPE, or Sexual Health Awareness Peer Educators, was the peer education group on campus. Members tried to be a support, but not a medical replacement for students who might have been too timid to approach their family doctor about their sexual health. After jotting down notes during a SHAPE presentation outlining risky sexual behaviors, the teams battled it out in three rounds. Round one involved thinking up the best pick-up lines. In round two the teams answered jeopardy questions, and in round three they got physical in a relay race. The top two teams went on to play in a final round. Although students might have taken sexual education in high school, teenag- ers have a tendency to overlook the subject matter Iulie Gibbs, director of health promotion at Lafene and SHAPE instructor, said. It's good to be remindedf, Gibbs said. uWe tried to get even people who didn't want to be on a team. We just wanted to get audience members that they would still get that knowledgef, The material, presented under a fun guise, ranged from learning how to create a dental dam to putting a condom on a banana. Nevertheless, the lighthearted mood foreshadowed the real consequences of sexual unawareness. I see patients who are devastated because they have been diagnosed with a sexually transmitted infection, are pregnant or have been sexually assaulted, Wendy Blank, sexpert panelist, director of the Womenls Clinic at Lafene and board-certi- Hed obstetrician and gynecologist, said. '4All three of these issues can affect the rest of the personls life. The primary means of preven- tion is education. Tompkins said only certain subject areas request SHAPE,s classroom presentations, like freshman courses. With Battle of the Sexperts, SHAPE aimed to reach the rest of the student population.

Eric Bailey, a member of the Car Ramrod team and graduate student in animal science, said he and his friends signed up for the event as a joke, but sai he grasped the importance of the event recollecting his high school days. As an 18-year-old you're 10 feet tall and bulletproof, Bailey said.

One in every six women and one in every 33 men have fallen victim to attempted or completed rape in his or her life. From these astonishing numbers, 20'Mi of victims report the assault and 90W knew their attackers prior to the assault. Wildcats Against Rape are an important part of the campus that shed some light on the subject. Rape. It was a topic that everyone wished to avoid. One organization on campus, however, found the courage to combat the serious and common issue of sexual assault. Wildcats Against Rape, also known as W.A.R., aimed to create an environment where everyone was able to trust, be trusted and live outside the confinements of fear. We are students working toward increasing awareness about sexual assault and promoting a more peaceful, safe campus where there's an environment of mutual respect, Liz Davis, junior in psychology and W.A.R. president, said. We want a campus where we feel safe walking around. We don't want to have these stories and myths of attacks on campus? Wildcats Against Rape originated several years ago when members of the Proactive Educators for Eliminating Rape and Sexual assault class, otherwise known as P.E.E.R.S, were appalled at learning that a student was raped in a bathroom at an Aggieville bar. The bathroom had no lock on the door and the bar didnlt have security cameras to help identify the victim's attacker. The students were really upset about this and wanted to do something about it, Davis said. Traditionally, the members of W.A.R. would go bar to bar completely sober and look at the conditions to make sure there were cameras around, locks on the doors and the bartenders were being observant of what was going on. W.A.R. worked in conjunction with the K-State Women's Center which assisted students who had been victimized by violence. My job is to educate students about the risk for violence and sexual assault, druggings, domestic violence, to help any student who has already been hurt, and to promote a campus culture of care and nonviolence, Mary Todd, director of the K-State Women's Center and W.A.R. faculty advisor, said. I know that W.A.R. has made a positive impact on the campus. There are many students that have come to the Women's Center through a W.A.R. referral to get assistance and information about rape and assault. Besides coming to join the group, students hear about the topics from W.A.R. and come pick up materials to share with other students. After having worked at the Womenls Center for several months in the spring of 2010, Davis decided she would take on the responsibility of being the 2010-2011 W.A.R. president. The fact that I barely saw my boss was frighteningf Davis said. Mary is the only trained advocate in our office and she is really busy. She is always behind her !., t During their Weekly meeting president ol WAR, itz Dovis, iunior in psychology, discusses upcoming events with the members. The group met weekly tn the womens center in Holton Holi Erin Poppe door speaking with someone. I'm so much more aware after working there. Kent Downing, graduate student and W.A.R. treasurer, said that he joined W.A.R. because of the experiences his friends had with sexual assault and to help make K-State a safer place for his sister and friends. Our society often places the responsibility on the victim - 'she needs to learn how to defend herself and stay away from dangerous situationsfi' Downing said. c'This is totally against my view. While it may be a terrible reality that women have to protect themselves in this way, my efforts in W.A.R. are directed at making sexual assault the responsibility ofall of us. Educating men can decrease date rape. For example, that lnol really does mean 'nof The media does not teach that. It teaches, 'push a little more and then she'll happily submit., If we all take responsibility, things can change? J, .

Women in intimate relationships were at a greater risk of being violated by their partner than being attacked by a serial rapist. While date rape was much more common than random assaults in the street, it was the more dramatic events that received the publicity. Since I started working at the Women's Center I started talking to my friends casually about this issue and realized they don't know much about anything related to sexual assaultf' Davis said. 'KI had to tell them 'you know, when you're drunk with a guy and he touches you and you don't want him to, you say no, but then just give in anyways, that is an assaultf I kind of probed them to really think about it more. Spreading information about sexual assault to the campus community was key to W.A.R.'s efforts in protecting women of the K-State community. 171- l 1172 Front to Back: Kayla Zarek, Iessica French, Leah Wolf Laura Miller, Linsey Bolte, Bobbie Rose, Chelsy Parsons, Katherine Baber, Samantha Schuckman, Abby Ratlief, Heather Stos, Christina Vaughn, Allison Williamson, Amy Horvatic, Brandi Base, Nick deSours, Sara Schneider, Brad Koelzer, Dillson Robbins, Kyle Tipton, Tachael Iensen, Bret Eisenbarth, Alison Manthei, Daniel Odas, Alex Bency, Brian Niehotl, Anthony Winter, Iaza Montgomery, Alisha Ball, jacob Phillips Front to Back: Kylie Washington, Shanna Campbell, Siera Martin, Anita Easterwood, Ashley Cavazos, Larina Haley, Natasha Peteran, Azsha Thompson, lasmine Taylor, Chikezie Ehie, Bran Harris, Bronson Blackwell, Damien 'lhompson, Seth Ellis II X -I- o I 3 -I- E.

Iimmy Iohnis sandwich wrappers, hundreds of crushed beer cans and metallic green confetti littered the streets, sidewalks, grassy areas and alleyways of Aggieville and surrounding Manhattan neighborhoods. Scattered by the cool March wind the debris was the only evidence of the student non-holiday Fake Pattyis Day: according to Nicole Allen, co-coordinator for Manhattan Good Neighbors and senior in animal science it was without a doubt the dirtiest celebration all year Cn March 13, the day after thousands got faked, up, Manhattan Good Neighbors hosted a Fake Patty's cleanup from 10 a.m. to 12 p.m. The organization was a division of the volunteer clearinghouse HandOn Kansas State supported by the School of Leadership Studies. Yes, K-Staters can have a fun time, but we can also be responsible and clean up the messes that we makef, Allen said. 'LWe would like to improve the relationships between K-State students and permanent residents, to have permanent residents see K-State students in a positive lightf, Clad in t-shirts that read in green lettering, Nothing fake about the mess we make donated by Threads, the 30 student volunteers covered Aggieville and dispersed toward 17 ' and Ratone. They covered the streets of Iuliette Avenue, City Park and the area behind Manhattan Christian College to pick up trash and recyclables, sometimes stumbling upon the rare S520 or half of a bowling ball. The organization only advertised to student volunteers, as Allen said it was not the community's mess to clean up. K'We have always had some who just out of the goodness of their heart want to volunteerf Allen said. 'lOf course you have some who just think a free t-shirt and free lunch is cool too? She pointed out Manhattan Good Neighbors' purpose was to connect university students with Manhattan residents and smooth out the tension between them. It's all about being good neighborsf' Lynda Bachelor, director of HandsOn Kansas State, said. Since the inception of the event last year, they have received an outpouring of community support, she said. Five students from an introductory leadership studies class spearheaded the publicity for the event and acted as site leaders. alt turned out really well, LeAnna Gerhardt, a site leader and freshman in biology, said. 'gThe community really liked it. We were walking around and people would say, Lthank you' to us. It helps to rebuild. We don't have a very good reputation. After making the area spick and span, the volunteer task force, with trash bags slung over their shoulders, rejoined in Triangle Park for lunch donated in appreciation by Buffalo Wild Wings and Pita Pit. For most businesses it was very lucrative, according to Evan Tuttle, the executive director of the Aggieville Business Association. For a handful the celebration adversely affects business. lt is so bad that they have to close for the day because the crowds are in the way of their normal clients,', Tuttle said. l'Nobody likes a mess, especially me. Thatls why weire very grateful to this groupf, If the volunteers had not shown up to brave the 40-degree temperatures and dirty undertaking, the responsibility to clean up the truckloads of trash would have fallen into the hands of property owners, and eventually burdened the city, he said. The volunteers overcame a daunting task that day, but Allen said she hoped on a larger scale the event would break down the negative stereotypes of university students. 191- As he winds his swing boc Shown Butler, sophomore in sociol sciences, slorris o sledgeeliomrrier iowords 0 red ond yellow cor during the Arnold Air Socie1y's cor bosli in Bosco Plozo Mor, 4. Jennifer Heeke M organizations 0 9 I 'rf 193- -194 Badminton extraordinaire by Brittany Stevens When asked what athlete inspired Cong Ye, senior in finance and president of the KSU Badminton Club, he wonlt tell you some great American football or baseball star's name. He replied with Lin Dan, otherwise known as Super Dan,', a Chinese badminton player who has smashed his way through all of the major world titles in badminton. We usually follow anytime he has a competition or any matchf, Ye said. We want to learn. Itis like entertainment to watch him play? Ye, a native of Shenzhen, China, admitted he is no Super Dan, but has been striking shuttlecocks since he was about seven years old. It was his mother who prompted his interest in the sport. She and Ye would practice badminton in the backyard together after school Badminton is played on an indoor court by singles, doubles and mixed doubles. Players hit a shuttlecock, or birdie, made of goose feathers or plastic, back and forth over a net with a racket. The game is broken up into three rounds on a 21-point rally system. Compared to tennis, Ye said, the net is higher, the racket is smaller and there is a large amount of jumping and running involved. '1You don't need a lot of strength to play badmintonf, he said. It is more comfortable for ladies. It's not as expensive as tennis? Ye loved the grip of the racket in his hand smashing the aerodynamic birdie because he said heis good at it. As Ye got older, his trainers became his high school classmates and then a professional coach, with whom he spent two hours training every day for two months. i'Badminton is way universal in China, very, very popularf, Ye said. K'It's not like here - totally different. People just play it anytime for fun, on the street, in the backyardfl With eight Thomas Cup wins, 11 Uber Cup wins and having earned the most badminton medals at the Summer Olympics, Ye said China is at the forefront of the sport along with England and Denmark. He equated badminton popularity in China to that of American football in the U.S. Having left China in 2008 to get his college education in the U.S., Ye found a cultural base in the KSU Badminton Club. I just went to the rec on Friday nightf' Ye said. I saw a lot of Chinese playing there. I just go to talk to them and kind of fit in. It is very nice to meet Chinese abroad? The club's 30 members were mostly international students, faculty and alumni, but not all of them. Chinese students initially established the club in 2008, but Ye said this year the club recruited anyone who expressed an interest, including Americans. The club held practices three times a week to teach new players basic skills and to train for regional tournaments throughout the year. The club attended the Ray Scott Memorial Badminton Tournament Oct. 30-31 in Omaha, Neb., taking home three silver medals with Ye placing second for mixed doubles. The KSU Badminton Club competed again at the Iowa State University 2011 Spring Badminton Open Tournament in March. Affiliated with USA Badminton, the club's mission this year was to increase awareness among the K-State community about badminton and generate resources to motivate individuals and groups to come enjoy this sport, according to the clubls website. Ye, a longtime badminton enthusiast, plans on graduating in May 2012, going on to attend graduate school or get a job in the U.S. before moving back to China. Ye came here searching for better higher educationf but also found a umore open, more relaxedv American culture and an interim Chinese circle of friends.

Union Program Council, or UPC, brought around 180 events to campus each year. These ranged from movies on the weekends to big-name entertainers like this year's Bo Burnham and Rob Riggle. uUnion Program Council is a student organization whose goal is to provide quality entertainment as well as knowledge and comfort around the student union and around campus, Chris Wallace, UPC president and senior in psychology, said. alt gives students an opportunity to see things to U0 11101162 Cheyanne Alvarado they perhaps might not see otherwise, whether because it is expensive elsewhere or itls not normally in this area. It also provides opportunities to get involved with event planning and to understand how to bring events to campus? Successfully creating, organizing and putting on such a large number of events was no small task. The students behind UPC were broken down into nine committees so events could be put together more easily. These committees consisted of After Hours, Arts, Community, Entertainment, Films, Forums, Multicultural, Music and Summer. 'KWhen I first started with the organization my freshman year, it felt very independentf Wallace said. '1This committee would do this thing and that: committee would do that thing. Lately, ' have gotten along with the idea of more co-sponsorship within our organization having two committees work together on an event. To me, that is the most fun because it allows multiple people to get same experience. Any student who was interested was able to work with UPC. All positions were: voluntary, and co-chairs were required to work five hours in the UPC office each wa 'What is really amazing about this anization is that it is volunteerf' Wallace 1. 'KWe still have that level of enthusiasm? Volunteering for UPC also came with perks. Volunteers often were reserved ting and had the opportunity to meet the ertainers that performed at UPC events. 'There are perks such as meeting some he entertainers that come to K-State, 'ina Garcia, UPC vice president of frations and senior in communication rnces and disorders, said.

The student government and the student privilege fee students paid each semester funded the organization. nWe really encourage students to help out not only on committees, but to attend as many events as possible because to some degree they are paying for these eventsf, Wallace said. K'There are some events that we have to charge tickets, but we try to make our tickets as affordable as possible. If we donlt have to charge, we won'tf' Ideas for the kinds of events put on 'Nt by UPC stemmed from the students. The weekly meetings held by UPC were open to all and new ideas were always welcomed. When a fresh idea was brought to the table, UPC volunteers worked hard to accomplish it so the students could be provided with the entertainment they enjoyed. The best thing about being involved with UPC is having the opportunity to plan great events for students and being able to gain valuable work experience, Alicia Shankle, UPC entertainment co-chair and senior in marketing, said.

This was the first year the event was televised. Logan M. Jones AN HATTAN MW by Brent Gipson Hundreds flocked to Bramlage Coliseum on a late October night as they celebrated the teams and the future of the un1vers1ty's athletics. Different from years in the past, on Oct. 15, Madness in Manhattan was a nationally televised event on ESPNU. K-State was chosen to be one of six men's basketball programs featured on the network's coverage of elite collegiate basketball programs midnight madness events. K-State's 29-8 run through the Elite Eight of the NCAA tournament in the 2009-2010 season led the university to this opportunity. To begin the night, the volleyball team thanked the crowd for making Ahearn Fieldhouse a competitive environment throughout their season. After the volleyball team was done on the floor, the lights went out and a video introduced the future of the university's basketball programs. Building a new basketball training facility is another way K-State is moving toward the top 50 of the nation's public universities with the K-State 2025 initiative, Kirk Schulz, university president, said in a press release on K-State Athletics website. I appreciate the leadership of our donors and applaud the innovative thinking of our athletic director and our great head coaches. The features planned in the practice facility included two full-length practice courts with men's and women's basketball coaching offices overlooking them. The facility was said to house locker rooms for both of the teams, lounges for coaches and players, meeting rooms and a state-of-the-art weight room and training facility. I look forward to seeing the joy and pride in our players' eyes each day as they walk into a first-class facility comparable with those of our Big 12 peers, Deb Patterson, women's basketball head coach, said. What I am most thrilled about is that our players will have full-time access to an awesome and much needed multi- basket court and this facility will open a tremendous door of opportunity for individual player and team development. After the introduction of the practice facility, the women's basketball team was introduced and played an interactive game Continued on page 202 2012 The university mascot Willie the Wildcat, whose identity remains a secret, opens up the Madness in Manhattan event with a dunk with the help ot a trampoline.

There was so much hype around the men's basketball team, Lauren McClenton, freshman in sociology and criminology, said. They did impress the crowd however. The men's basketball team took the floor for introductions, and then a competition between the guards and the forwards took place. Wally Iudge, sophomore forward, secured the dunk contest with a powerful dunk that rocked Bramlage Coliseum. At the conclusion of the dunk contest, a three-point shooting competition took place. Iacob Pullen, senior guard, took time away from his last money ball,', a ball that granted two points instead of one, to high- tive his fellow teammates. Pullen's three- point shootout performance handed the guards a win in the skills competition. The men's team then took the floor for a 15-minute scrimmage, exciting fans and giving them a great outlook for the season. At the end of the event, Frank Martin, men's basketball head coach, took the microphone to address the crowd. Martin's comments to the crowd were abrupt and to the point. He told the crowd that he was privileged to coach at the best place in the country. The crowd went wild.

Not many people knew what it took to be a rugby player on the K-Stateflfort Riley menis club rugby team. A tough game combining soccer and football included a lot of constant mental and physical play from each person on the field. However, this didnit stop the 22 players on the team from playing the continuous contact sport. 'gMy favorite part about rugby is the hitting and tackling, offensively and defensivelyf, Dan Knapp, captain and senior in advertising, said. You're always recovering from some injury, youire never 100 percent but you have to play like it. Knapp said he watched the game in sixth grade and was mesmerized by what was happening, and it inspired him to play in high school and later on in college. This yearts scouts and coaches in the league selected four members to play in the Collegiate All- Star game Nov. 6 in Glendale, Colo.: Tyler Hodges, president and senior in mechanical engineering, Joe D'Agostino, co-captain and senior in social science, Kenny Scott, vice president and junior in sociology, and Knapp. uCoaches in our league got together and voted on who should play in the game, Scott said. uForty people from nine different teams tried out, and 28 guys total made itf, For Hodges and Knapp, it would be their fourth year playing in the All-Star game. 'tltls cool it's the fourth year Dan and I have been selected, it's a lot of fun, Hodges said. Hlt,s fun to play with people who are good and at a more competitive level. The players who are chosen for the All-Star game can potentially be scouted for the U.S. rugby team. lt,s always good to play at the highest level of competition, Knapp said. S'It,s an honor. Hodges said because of Knapp's drive and competitiveness, the members ofthe team look up to him on the rugby field. He's our team captain and our leader on the fieldf' Hodges said. 'tHe always goes hard no matter what, and l think people respect thatf' Knapp said he practiced three days a week and would sometimes work out three more days to ensure he stayed in shape for the season. HI love the physicality of the game, Knapp said. Hodges said what his team had that most teams didnat was a lot of experience with the game and playing together as a group. There were nine seniors on the team who started each game and had played together since their freshman year. 'tThis is the best, or close to the best, the team has ever been since I've been here,', Hodges said. Coming into the semester, the team was ranked first in their division and ranked ninth nationally. The strongest part about our team is that we've been together for four years and we have a lot of experience together as a team, Danny Blea, head coach and former university rugby player, said. They just keep getting better as they get olderf' 052 doubl by Colleen Qriimi With a shared love for two sports, IuliAnne Chisholm proved that she was capable of playing both volleyball and basketball. Typically, a student athlete was driven toward their sport of choice. This was a different year. It was the year two sports combined to produce an athlete who proved what a little hard work and love for the game could result in. IuliAnne Chisholm, senior in life sciences and gerontology, always knew she wanted to play basketball in college, but things changed once she was a senior in high school. Coming out of high school I didn't have any intentions on playing volleyball, Chisholm said. 'KI was sold out on my first love, basketball. I had been playing basketball since I was six and hadn't played volleyball until seventh grade. I was being recruited a bit here with basketball and with volleyball I went to one of their summer camps and Suzie was like ihey you got to come here and play volleyballfv While her first choice was basketball it wasnlt an easy decision for her to make 206 on the spot. After going back and forth between both sports she knew what it was going to come down to. lt was a shock Suzie wanted me to play Volleyballfi she said. At the end of the day I ended up choosing volleyball. We considered playing both at first, but realized it would wear me down all four years. I ended up playing volleyball and don't regret it for a second. Since I didn't red shirt my freshman year I knew 1 had another year after this year to play according to NCAA rules. Since Chisholm decided on volleyball for all four years, this allowed her to play basketball her senior year. By receiving a second degree she was qualified to play as a fifth year senior as well. It wasn't an easy transition coming from volleyball to basketball though. uConditioning was the biggest challenge, Chisholm said. 'iIn volleyball we didnit run as much as you do in basketball. You jumped all day. My first couple weeks of practice l was sucking a I couldn't run, couldn't breathe. It wasj sad. As Ilve gone Ilve gotten in shape an that feels way better.

'LYOL1 play with so many types of girls and people need different things, she said. 'Some girls need a positive ithat's ok' pat on the back and other girls need you to get in their face and yell at them and then they will turn around and start playing. Itls been a growing experience asa leader to find the strengths of everybody else and fit them in as a puzzle. Chisholm herself had personal endeavors after her years here at the university. She planned on attending medical school and one day becoming a family physician. 'KNot everybody can be the same thing that's why we are all different and we all bring different things to the floor, she said. ulf we were all one person we would be terrible. 207- nun wciiaeifg The team sets up and breaks down all ot the equipment in unity tt is cool to watch them take the boat out ot the water because all the motions are in unison, Kaitlyn Gilmore, freshman in toad science and industry, said.

Erin Poppe Strong communication is a necessity in rowing, Speak- ers were placed throughout the boat to help echo the communication during a race or a regatta You really have to trust your cox- savvinf' Gilmore said. They are like the eyes ofthe boat because they are the only person facing forward. Erin Poppe ith almost no prior experience, the university's novice rowing team was more than eager to hit the ground running to be able to compete with the best teams in the nation. Dedication was an understatement to describe the emotion of the men and women each day at practice. Trying to stay in a unified motion, the rookie team listened closely to the experienced coach Craig Doan, as he constantly spit advice and direction from his coaching boat. If you get the body forward, everything else will come in line, Doan said. c'If we can get in sync on the swing, the boat can hit his max speed and everything will come together? The rowers practiced and repeated drills until the whole team worked cohesively. From executing drills based on time, all the way to mastering the technique by rowing with their eyes closed, the team conditioned every aspect of the sport. People normally think it is an arm sport, but it is most definitely a leg work out, Kaitlyn Gilmore, freshman in food science and industry, said. I would say its 80 percent legs.

Not only were they twins and each majoring in accounting, they were also both on the women's golf team. We push each other in a good wayf Emily said. We're naturally competitive? The girls said even though they always wanted to win and beat each other, they were happy when the other one succeeded. Normally if you get beat by someone you get upsetf' Elise said. But if I lose I know she had to do better so I'm happy either way. There's always something positive about one of us doing good. Golf had been in the Houtz family for a long time. Both Emily and Elise started playing golf when they were about five years old and hadn't stopped since. When we were little our dad and older sister playedf, Elise said. 'KThat's what got us into it. Their older sister, Amanda, also played golf in college at the University of Nebraska-Omaha. The girls also played together on the Manhattan High School girls, golf team, with Emily placing top 20 all four years at the state competition and tying vsdth Elise for third place their senior year. The twins might have been a lot alike, but their strategies on the golf course were extremely different. Elise and Emily are actually very different when it comes to golf, junior Paige Osterloo said. Osterloo played with the I-Ioutz girls for three years. Emily is the more calm and collective one who will most likely play it safe on the holes. Emily may not drive it as far as Elise but you can bet it is going to be in the middle of the fairway or green every time. Elise is more powerful when it comes to her swing and length. She is more daring and is more willing to take a risk out on the course. Even though their golf games are a lot different, the girls said they each have specific qualities about their game they each admire. Elise can be a lot more aggressive in her game plan when she's on the coursef' Emily said. GI Wish I did that moref' W'hat Elise admires most about her sister's game is the exact opposite. She's so steady and consistent, Elise said. Theres never really any bad with her, she knows how to control things. The twins said they chose to play golf together at the university for a number of reasons. Growing up around K-State athletics and football really inspired mef' Emily said. I wanted to be a part of the athletic program that I admired so muchf' The girls didn't choose their school with the intention of staying together, but it definitely helped. alt was nice to always have someone there in the beginning, Elise said. We've come to feel like leveryone onl the whole team is our sister? During their collegiate career, both Emily and Elise were named 2008-2009 Academic All-Big First Team, and in 2008 Elise was named All-Scholar Team Selection. Not only are Elise and Emily great golfers, they are great students? Osterloo said. 'The twins are a great example of a few of the role models we have on our team. They assisted us in building confidence and character not only on the course but off the course. The twins said they planned to continue playing golf even after they graduate, whether itis for fun or professionally Playing pro has always been in the back of my mindf Elise said, but I need to take a break to get back to simple basics and just enjoy the game. 2112 !212 Baseball season encl in NCAA regional University took art in re ional or secon year in a row by Brent Gipson Baseball players, coaches and staff gathered to watch ESPN's selection show on May 31. They were forced to sweat it out when the team was the second to last regional to be announced as a participant in the 2010 NCAA World Series. With a disappointing end to the season -the Wildcats went 1-2 in the Big 12 Tournament-the team was given a No. 3 seed in the Fayetteville, Ark., regional. This regional took place in Fayetteville included top-seeded Arkansas, the Wildcats' first opponent second-seeded Washington State and fourth-seeded Grambling State. The Cats had three games, facing Washington State twice and playing Grambling State in between. They fell to Washington State in the first game of regionals losing 8-6. Sophomore pitcher Iames Allen helped carry the Wildcats to their first win in the regional, beating Grambling State in the second game of regionals 9-8. Allen allowed his first home run all season by Cody Bartlett in the third game against Washington State, which propelled the Cougars to a 9-6 win over the Wildcats for the second time in regional play.

Although talent had been coming in for some time now, K-State players said their tenacity helped them create a urebound situation? We play harder than a lot otiother people out therefl senior intielder Adam Muenster, said. 'iThat's something we really hang our hat on. Playing harder began to pay off for the Cats in 2007, when they advanced to their second Big 12 Tournament. They had qualified every year since, and had become a staple in the national polls. With a 36-20 end to the regular season, Hill commended his team for persevering and making it to the NCAA tournament. alt was 109 years before we ever made one before, Hill said. U1 hope it won't be 109 years again. It's been a work in progress.

Iunior intielder Carter Iurica, hit .359 with 1 1 home runs and 65 RBIs. Muenster hit .368, scored 62 runs and had a team-best 25 steals.

The team rallied for a 31-22 victory, including three touchdowns by both teams in the final 123 secondsg two by the Wildcats. Senior quarterback Carson Coffman hit Broderick Smith, sophomore from Garden City, with a 5-yard touchdown pass. This put the wildcats ahead 24-16 with 2:03 left. With 1:19 to play, the UCLA Bruins hit a touchdown, and failed a two-point conversion. With under a minute left in the game, an illegal participation penalty was called on the Bruins and the Cats didn't pass up an opportunity to score as senior running back Daniel Thomas picked up the last touchdown.

He turned the ball over one time which nobody likes, but other than that I thought he did quite well. Daniel is such a quiet young guy, most of you have interviewed him and he doesn't have much to say, but he plays so hard. Second, third, fourth effort, that is just his way. I am awfully proud of him. With week number two at our grasp, the Cats were able to breeze past Missouri State, 48-24. Coffman threw three touchdown passes and Thomas rushed for 137 yards. With a 13-O lead, and 9:45 left in the second quarter, sophomore place kicker Anthony Cantele, was set up for a kick. Sophomore punter and placeholder Ryan Doerr took an option to toss the ball to the right side and hit Cantele for a 3-yard touchdown. I just got the opportunity to play a couple of other positions and that's how I started out the gamef, senior place kicker Iosh Cherry, said. Anthony has been kicking really good lately so hels been doing all the kicking duties. I got in on some kickoffs and towards the end of the game I got in on a little bit of punting. It was a lot of fun because itls something that I've always really wanted to do since I've been here. In high school I played a lot of other positions and ever since Ilve been in college, all I've ever really done is kick. So itls kind of a dream come true to be able to go back to those and just put forth a little more effort in the game when it comes to playing other positions? In week three, the Wildcats visited Arrowhead Stadium, a neutral site, to take on the Iowa State Cyclones. With an attendance of 38,468, the K-State Athletic Department sets up a game yearly in Kansas City to draw alums to the game. Thomas rushed for 181 yards and scored two touchdowns on a career-high 34 carries. K-State rallied to beat Iowa State 27-20. Thomasis 2-yard touchdown run gave K-State a 24-20 lead with 6:47 left in the fourth quarter. The game averaged 11,000 less fans than averaged throughout the season. I think we went out there and executed a lot better on offense. I think we became a lot better offensively, defensively and on special teams, Smith said. I think we will go out there next week and know that we have to get better and execute again. In week four, Coffman ran the ball with 24 seconds left in the game to a come-from- behind victory over Central Florida. The Wildcats had a 4-0 start on the season since 2003. With less than 3 minutes gone in the first quarter, officials halted play because of lightning accompanying a heavy storm bearing down on the greater Manhattan area. Dark, ominous-looking clouds enveloped the stadium before heavy rains pelted the area and caused a rain delay of 1 hour, 26 minutes. Many fans stayed in the stadium, while the team took shelter in their respective locker rooms. Other fans took refuge in Bramlage Coliseum. The Wildcats won the game 17-13. You just have to believefl senior defensive back Terrance Sweeney, said. '1This is why you go through two-a-days in the summer, so you can finish close games like we have. You really have to believe in what you are doing and the rest plays outf, With week live as the teamls bye week, the Wildcats took the week off to prepare for their next battle.

Coffman ran for three touchdowns and threw for two more, completing 15 of 16 passes, and leading the team past Kansas 59-7. This was one of the most lopsided victories in the rivalry that da back to 1902. Snyder, who had not won a ro game since ending a three-year retirement i 2009, raised his personal record against the Wildcats, archrival to 15-4. He has won 14 o his last 15 against the Jayhawks.

That was a oint swing, not converting thatf, he Wildcats were overcome by the ahoma State Cowboys in the second half, searching for their sixth win of the week. 20 Oklahoma State won 24- 14. This was fourth sellout in five games at Bill Snyder lily Stadium. I feel like we had a lot of opportunities on offense to win the game, but most of all I feel like I let the team down, Coffman said. I did not play very well today I gave up two interceptions and seven points. The Wildcats became bowl-elgible for the first time since 2004 with a mauling over the Texas Longhorns, 39-14 in Bill Snyder Family Stadium under a national audience on ABC. Sophomore quarterback Collin Klein ran for two touchdowns each. The team intercepted Texas player Garrett Gilbert five times. The win was also K-Statels third straight win against the Longhoms. In these three wins, the Wildcats scored 125 points. It really was a team performance all the way around, Klein said. My hat goes off to our defense and special teams for giving us some really short fields, starting with William fPowellj taking the opening kickoff back into their territory, Klein said. It was a credit to our offense that we were able to execute much better than we had in previous weeks. We knew we needed to cash in on those opportunities and we did. Again, it was just a great all-around team effortfl No. 20 Missouri topped the team, 38-28. The Wildcats had four turnovers, one of them wasting an opportunity to tie the game in the final minute of the half when Coffman fumbled the center snap at the Missouri 1-yard-line. Thomas had 66 yards on 12 carries, scored two touchdowns for the second straight game. We really didnit get into a rhythm until the last drive, Thomas said. We tried to put offense together but it was too late by then so We didn't get a rhythm at all. The team which had a record of 6-5 at this point lost quarterback Klein late in the second quarter and couldn't keep up with the Colorado Buffs, losing 44-36. Klein suffered an injury when he was sacked hard by a Colorado defensive end. He was replaced by Coffman who threw for 270 yards and yielded two touchdowns. This was the last battle between the Wildcats and the Buffaloes, with Colorado opting to move to the Pacific 10 Conference next season. We had difficulty stopping the run which has been kind of a nemesis for us. I thought we came over the hump in the past couple ball games in that respectf' Snyder said. 'fWe had trouble with that, and what I mentioned a minute ago, we were not very good on third down and conversions on third down. With the last game beneath them, the Wildcats ended 6-6 on the season, waiting for a berth to a bowl game. The Wildcats opted to accept an invitation from the New York Yankeeis and the New Era Pinstripe Bowl and compete in the game December 30, 2010 in New York City. The team lost the game 36-34, stemming from a penalty flag that was dropped after the infamous usalutel' by receiver Adrian Hilburn. 221- they moke the Nicole DeBrie Students toke o time-out to work o port-time job os on intrornurol referee ot the ec The blow of the whistle and sound of the buzzer were among the most dreaded or anticipated sounds at the recreation complex by teams during intramural games. Intramurals often ended with mixed emotions and heated arguments as participants pointed fingers or raised their voices at the referees, who were their peers and friends. Students found intramural refereeing to be a fun, yet exhausting job during the academic year. UI decided to become a referee as a way to make a little extra money, Michael Edwards, senior in civil engineering, said. Since I love anything to do with sports and athletics, it was an easy choice. Wfhether it was just to make money, or to socialize, students had their own reasons for applying to become an intramural referee. GI really enjoy the game of basketball, so when I was in high school officiating little league was an easy way to make money doing something I lovefl Todd Severson, sophomore in computer engineering, said, 'KI figured, 'why not continue that and do the same thing at Kansas State? All of the intramural referees were students, which allowed them to bond and become friends on the job. f'The best part about intramural reffing is getting to know the other refs, Kate Ehmke, junior in secondary education, said. aMost of the refs are people I wouldn't necessarily know because we have different majors, live in different places and just have different interests. It makes going to work so much more enjoyable when I know I'm going to work with people I like. Being an intramural referee had many perks that came with the job besides, of course, a paycheck. I grew up around sports whether it be participating or attending eventsfl Edwards said. 'KK-State has a lot of students that are pretty good athletes and occasionally some pretty entertaining games break out. Being a referee gives you the best seat in the house when that happensfl Prior to refereeing games, the student referees were required to go through training to learn the rules of the sport, as well as how to deal with certain circumstances they may encounter. There are mandatory training sessions for each sport that every referee has to complete before the beginning of each season, Edwards said. 'fThe instructors usually spend a couple ofdays going over the rule book as well as simulating game situations for us to practice. Intramural games came with twists and turns that could not be predicted, but the referees were prepared to the best of their ability for situations that could arise. 'KI would say the major challenge of being a referee in any sport would be to keep control of the game, Edwards said. Some people are naturally more competitive and emotions can get high on occasion. A referee needs to be able to foresee potential disputes before they occur and work to diffuse the situation in the most calm and professional way possible? Students did not take intramurals lightly. Referees had to be prepared to step in and take control when situations got out of hand. uThere are some very competitive teams and they all want to winf' Severson said. f'Refs are in charge of managing that emotion and keeping the game in control so the game goes smoothly. The challenge is to remain objective and in charge? Refereeing intramurals was not an easy job. The student referees were sometimes scrutinized for their calls during games. uOne time I made a call for an 'unnecessary roughness, penaltyf, Edwards said. 'cThe guy preceded to get in my face, yelling something about how my blown call was going to end up on Sports Center and that the whole nation was going to know how bad of a ref I was.

I think all the guys now have a little more appreciation of how much work it takes just to stay where you are in this game, let alone try and improvef, With the loss of key players from last season, Norris said the team experienced some growing pains and it took time for new leaders to develop. I think the two seniors this year, Ross Geubelle and Iason Schulte, are both great guys and we finished the fall season knowing from a leadership standpoint they needed to be a little bit more vocal as leadersf' Norris said. The two seniors on the team were left to lead the team and had big shoes to fill. They were often looked to as leaders of the team. I make an effort every day to set the example for my teammates regarding how to succeed not just as an athlete, but as a student-athlete overallf Schulte said. I work very hard to improve myself in both areas and make it very clear that I want each and every one of my teammates to succeed, and that I am always free to serve as a mentor for them? Some of the players found advantages to the fact that the teamls roster was 70 percent underclassmen. We were a really young team which actually made it easier, Birdsey said. VVhen you have a team that's mostly seniors, there is a four-or five-year age difference, but this way it was a lot easier to relate to each otherf' Many players on the team had their time to shine throughout the season, but the team struggled to put together a complete performance. We had enough talent to make a great team but we were inconsistent with when we all played good and when we all played poorly, Birdsey said. The team ended third overall at the David Toms Intercollegiate tournament in Baton Rouge, La., in October. After struggling through the first round, the team finished strong in the last two rounds with one under par. This was our best tournament, Norris said.

That void was filled with 24 new freshman that brought spontaneity and skill to the team. It's a complete revampingf Casie Lisabeth, women's equestrian coach, said. We got a new coach and new facilities, itls just starting new. Not only was this yearls team primarily made up of freshman, it was the biggest out-of-state group the equestrian team had in a long time. uPeople think itls our rebuilding year, but itls our time to prove ourselves and show them we're a strong, competitive team, Alecia Zimbelman, a senior in biology and captain of the team, said. Many members of the team agreed that the freshman brought just as much talent to the team as the older girls did. 'elf you put all these girls in a ring, you can't tell their age, Hannah Ribera, sophomore in industrial engineering and captain of the team, said. They,re all competitive riders? lennifer Rawle, senior in management and member of the team, said having this many freshmen join the team has made the leadership position that an older teammate holds even more important. I want to set an example for them, so they have someone to look up to and make the team a comfortable environment for them, she said. 'KThey have brought strength in their riding ability, positive attitudes, and a drive for success that pushes everyone on this team to get betterf' Not only were half the members new to the team this year, but the facilities were new as well. The 51 members of the team used the Timber Creek Stables. The horses and stables were taken care of by two student full-time student workers, and the day-to-day responsibilities were divided up to each member of the team. You're assigned to a horse every dayf, Ribera said. ul like using the same horses, it gives you a level playing field against the other teamsf' The team has about 30 horses they share and practice with three days a week, and they all do their part to take care of them. lt was definitely a transition to get used to, Kelly Bovaird, freshman in animal sciences and industry, said.

Zimbelman said traveling was a good way to get to know her teammates. You find out who snoresf' Bovaird said. One freshman got to experience some competition on the road that other members of the team didn't. Catherine Avolese, a freshman in English and member of the team, was picked to represent the university at an invitational equestrian collegiate cup in Wellington, Florida. It was only the second time the NCAA competition was held. Being a freshmen and getting picked to go was a real big accomplishment, Avolese said. I was a little nervous but incredibly proud to be able to go and represent my teamf' Most of the girls competing against Avolese had competed at the invitational the previous year as well. It's an honor to be up against a senior and know you're that good, Avolese said. Avolese said she worked extremely hard and put in a lot of time and dedication for the competition. It was a great experience and I'm very happy I was the teammate that was picked to represent such amazing and talented girls, Avolese said. The team swept both divisions against the 4th-ranked South Carolina at home in the Spring season. Lisabeth said the Spring season was a growing point, we definitely played some tough teams, we had a hard schedulef' The team set high goals for the Fall season, but for the seniors, it will be there last time riding for the team. I see a lot of improvements being made this semester, and I see us peaking at the right time achieving great success this post season, Rawle said. I canit explain how amazing every girl on this team is, and how supportive we are of one another in and outside of the arena. Bovaird said the team this fall season the team's plan was to dominate and beat everyone? Being on the equestrian team is just a way to continue what I love in college, Zimbelman said. It,ll be exciting to see how the team grows? X 229- fom Europe to Kansas by Erie Hostetler After deciding she wanted to play tennis in college, Petra Chuda had to find a school that would allow her to play tennis and earn a degree. Being a part of a team and continuing to play was all Petra Chuda, senior in finance, wanted. She loved tennis and had to find a university that would allow her to play, so she left her home in the Czech Republic to play for the Wildcats. ulf you want to play tennis plus study at a university, itis hard because the universityis really time-consuming and we donit have a university teamf' Chuda said. So it was best for me to come here because I could still play tennis at a very good level plus I could get my degree. Chuda came to the university as a sophomore in college. However, because there was no tennis team at her previous university, Chuda was eligible to play as a freshman. lust 10 years before, her sister Katerina played tennis for the university as well. Kathy was very competitive and pretty toughf, head coach Steve Bietau said. 'cPetra didn't come in that way, but she's made herself much stronger and by the end of the year last year, was one of the most reliable players. The main reason Petra came to the university was because her sister had enrolled here. Katerina was a major influence in the growth of Petra as a tennis player. K'She was a really good tennis playerf' Petra said. 'KI would say probably better than me, ifI should be honest. She was the oldest and she was good, so I sort of tried to compete with her so I could be betterf' Since her first year here, Petra had improved greatly on many things, including how quickly she moved and the style in which she played against her opponents. These improvements made Petra one of the most valuable players on the team. For me, the biggest lsuccessl was being chosen to go to regionalsf' Petra said. This was the first year I wentf, With nine players on the team and only six spots available, Petra continued to push herself and live up to her sisteris legacy. 'iShe's automatically a good leader because of the improvements sheis madef, Bietau said. uThe example she sets is a real strong one for everyone else on the team, so I see her being a major part of what we dofi ' During o morch ogoinst Drake in loieilorruory, , Carmen Borou Ramos, soplwomoreh civii engineeringwreturns o volley during doubles ploy.

With two seniors leading the team, it was primarily made up of 13 freshman and sophomore players. VVhile there was a lack of collegiate experience on the court, the team formed together to work with the talent they were given. After finishing the season with a record of I2 wins and 19 losses the team already had plans for improvement for the following season. alt was a season of growing pains to some degreef head coach Suzie Fritz, said. We didn't feel like we met our internal expectations in terms of wins and losses, but we did make an enormous amount of progress and we played quite well towards the end? Starting the season in late August the Wildcats didrft get off to a winning start, but once September rolled around they had four wins in a row at home. As October approached, the Cats had one win in October and eight losses throughout the month. We hit a stretch of matches where we played seven top 15 teams in a rowf' Fritz said. That was the gauntlet of destruction if you will. It was really hard to regain the momentum after that stretch of matches in October. We made progress with a lot of our young players who will contribute later on down the road. With the tough losses behind them the team tried to focus on the positive aspects of the season. 'As a team I think one the games we will remember is when we swept A8cM at their place, senior outside hitter IuliAnne Chisholm, said. I had an awful game but the girls played so well and they were so encouraging and even though I was struggling they lifted me up which was really nice because lim half the seniors. The underclassmen really picked it up and pulled their weight and more' The team thrived on their younger players like freshman middle blocker Kaitlynn Pelger. There was not one particular player that carried the team on her own, however. f'Kaitlin Pelger had a really nice freshman seasonf Fritz said. She was a bright spot for us from a performance perspective. We threw her out there and very often times she lead our team in hitting efficiency so I was proud of the start she was off to. Tristan McCarty was a Manhattan High product that also played as a freshman, so I donit have one particular player that stood out. We had so many young players contributingf' Even though the younger players lacked experience in college, that didnit interfere with the determination each girl had. Being a young team we had a lot of energy and enthusiasm this seasonf, sophomore hitter Katherine Ludwig, said. VVhat was challenging in some cases were the types of close ending matches that required quick decision making that comes with experience. It was difficult to try and grow up fast because we have such a large number of young, newer players on our team. We did our best to play bigger but at the end of the day, we gave it all we had. The goals the team had were steady and rarely changed. Team and individual goals were set and it was just a matter of time before they were met. 'fOur goals are very specific in terms of each individual player and team goals, Fritz said. We have some arm strength goals we want to fix. Weive go to be a more productive offensive team. We've got to put up better numbers, hit for higher efficiency and kill more balls. We were working a little bit on offensive set speed so we're going to try to play a little fasterf' What made all the difference to reach their goals and work together was the chemistry the team had off the court. We had really good friendships off the courtf, Chisholm said. I think that makes a huge difference in a team because those friendships can carry over onto the court. Losing seasons bring out the worst in people and we had to put our struggles aside and stay positive and look to what we could be because we had so much potential and so much talent we were just trying to figure out how to put all the pieces together and make it work for everyone and get winsf' Although the frustration of losing could get in a players mind and never leave, the girls relied on each other to stay strong. l think realizing that no matter what other people said about us, or no matter what other people expected of us, it was just us girls on the court, Chisholm said. uWe had to depend and rely on each other and keep each other up because at the end of the day it was just us girls on the court.

'LCharacter is part of what we try to evaluate in the recruiting process in the short amount of time we get to work with them.

With only one active senior on the roster, the women's basketball team was not expected to match the same quality of play that has been seen in previous years. The team achieved a record of21-11 and a 10-6 record in Big 12 Conference play to tie for third in the league. K-State notched the 22nd 20-win season in school history and was selected for the 12th NCAA Tournament appearance in the programis history. The team became the 13th program in NCAA Division I womenis basketball history to reach the 800-win mark and achieved the 300th career victory for head coach Deb Patterson.

The squad hit their first five of seven shots, propelling an 18-2 run to open the game. The team routed the Tigers 91-25. In the team's final exhibition tune-up against Washburn, Childs scored a game-high 17 points and lead the Cats to a 91-47 romp ofthe Ichabods. Chambers and Kulas both scored in double-digits to help lead the team. Opening the 43rd regular season of women's basketball at K-State, the team, led by Chambers, 21 points, defeated Grambling State 67-44 in the final Commerce Bank Classic held. The team advanced on to play St. Iohn's in the championship round of the classic, defeating them 64-53. Sophomore guard Mariah White led the team with 17 points, which garnered her a Big 12 Player of the Week honor. The Wildcats won 13 of the 16 tournaments, and extended their winning streak in the event to 10 games. On the team's first road trip ofthe season, the team visited the home state of Branshea Brown, junior in elementary education, to play the College of Charleston Throngs of K-State fans from Brownls hometown, Walterboro, 45 minutes from the game site, cheered on the team during their Saturday victory. Sophomore guard Taelor Karr had 16 points, while Brown finished with 10 points, five rebounds, three steals, and two blocked shots. For the fifth time in school history, the Wildcats moved on to a 6-0 record after defeating South Dakota State 56-51, despite trailing by as much as 14 in the first half. Chambers led the squad with 18 points. I think I was trying to do too much in the first half and I thought I was over-penetratingf' Chambers said. 'KI didn't have very good offensive balance. As a part ofthe Big 12!Big 10 Conference challenge, the Wildcats sailed north to play number 18 Iowa. Although the team grabbed a 29-25 halftime advantage, the team had its first loss of the season through a second-halfsurge by the Hawkeyes. A true team effort fueled a victory against North Dakota, as nine team members scored at least five points in the 76-49 victory.

The team closed out the non-conference season with a perfect record at home. Karr scored 17 points and grabbed 12 rebounds to mark the first double-double of any team member this season. The Wildcats beat UC Davis 61-41. I thought offensively we came into the game wanting to be aggressive with our mentality, Patterson said. ul thought we were far more aggressive and smarter in the first half than the second halfv Before returning home for the holidays, the team headed south to San Antonio to take on UTSA and Middle Tennessee State in a neutral site challenge. The team had an eight-point lead in the first half against UTSA, but went on to lose the contest 72-55. The team shot cold, with field goal percentage of 25 and a 19.2 three-point percentage. The team looked to rebound from this loss, but was once again greeted by a plague of cold shooting and turnovers that cost the Wildcats the contest against Middle Tennessee State, losing 63-49. After the holiday, the team once again headed to the east coast to participate in the Dartmouth University!Blue Sky Classic. The team ended the two game slide with a 69-48 win over Dartmouth. Chambers and Chantay Caron, freshman in pre-professional education, combined for 39 points and 22 rebounds.

K-State defeated Oklahoma State 63-45 in this contest, connecting for 12 three-point field goals, the most the Wildcats had hit this season. We were very well prepared for the game. We knew exactly what they were going to run and the tendency of tht other players, Chambers said. HI thought we stuck really well to our game planfl A hard fought, three-point victory over Missouri opened a home stand for the Wildcats, with Childs scoring 21 points in the victory, 66-63. A Tiger player scored 33 points, but was unable to carry her team to a victory. The coaches and my teammates have been on me about stepping up and trying to win gamesf' Childs said. There was not anything different about this game? The Wildcats in their next contest against Nebraska held them to their lowest point total in the series since 1973 Chambers exploded for 26 points in the victory, blasting th rival Huskers 64-37. She recorded her third career double- double, and pulled in a team high 11 rebounds. On the final road trip to Colorado, Chambers once again led the team to a victory against the Buffs 72-59. The Buffs cut a Wildcat halftime lead to one during the second half but the tenacity of the Wildcats rallied them to a victory. Staying unbeaten at home, the Cats won 10 in a row against KU, tarnishing the Iayhawks, 65-60. Karr added 19 points, while hitting four free-throws in the fmal minute o the game to seal the victory for the team. uit is nice that we have a four game win streak right now, Karr said.

The 20th ranked Cyclones hit 10 of 12 free throws in the final three minutes of the game to clench the victory. Childs scored 21 points, while Chambers added 19. In the team's annual Pink Zone game for breast cancer awareness, the team was handed its second loss at home by 324 Iowa State, 58-51. An Iowa State player made several key baskets down the stretch to solidify the victory for the Cyclones. Childs raked in 18 points, with Karr adding 12. UI am very grateful to all o the fans that came today to support the Pink Zone Initiative. It was fabulous to see all the pink in the house to know that everybody was making a statement in the fight against cancer, Patterson said. uTheir attendance at todayis game, their willingness to wear pink, the support of the program and really just when people come together and make a statement that this cause really does matter I think that it perpetuates its self across the country. An exciting end to the home slate of the season, the unranked Wildcats defeated 115 Texas A8cM 71-67. Chambers scored a career-high 35 points, including seven 3-pointers to lead the program to its best at home win in nearly 30 years. Karr finished the game with 14 points. Winning in Lawrence is always a bittersweet feeling for Patterson and her Wildcats, but this victory had an even more special meaning for Caron. Caron was born in Lawrence and attended Lawrence Free State High School. Childs lead a trio of Wildcats in double figures with 16 points, while VVhite chipped in 14 and Karr added 12. We are just really proud of our basketball team. We had an unbelievable performance today in terms of toughness and courage from Ialana Childsf, Patterson said. 'Nobody would know it, but she played hurt today. She just really brought it for her team. It was an amazing, courageous step up moment for herf' Unanimous Big 12 First Team selection Chambers scored a game-high 20 points, while Childs added 14 as the fourth-seeded Wildcats defeated the fifth-seeded Iowa State Cyclones, 56-53, in quarterfinal action of the Big 12 Womenis Basketball Championship in Kansas City.

Chambers finished the season with 514 points and made 88 shots from long range to rank fifth in school history. This was the eighth 20-win season in the Patterson era. 241- A salute to the bowl The football team heads east to compete in its first bowl game since 2006. For most K-State fans, the 2010 Pinstripe Bowl left one image engrained in their minds: senior wide receiver Adrian Hilburn saluting a small group of fans. The usalutef, was a game-defining unsportsmanlike conduct penalty that will be heavily remembered by the Wildcats and students. uMy emotions took over me, Hilburn said. i'That's what happenedf' With three minutes, and eight seconds left in the fourth quarter, Syracuse, the opposing team of the bowl, took a 36-28 lead on a field goal. Senior quarterback Carson Coffman hit Hilburn for a 30-yard touchdown pass with 1:13 remaining in the game. After the touchdown and the infamous salute, Hilburn remembers an official telling him, wrong choice, buddyf' and then seeing the yellow penalty flag hit the ground. The excessive-celebration penalty that was called was defined in the NCAA Football Rules book under Rule 9-2- ldz 'iAny delayed, excessive, prolonged or choreographed act by which a player attempts to focus attention on himself for themselveslf' K-State staff, players and fans on the sideline could not believe the call.

The term Kstudent- athleten described thousands of collegiates over the years that were chosen to represent the university in athletics. Dealing with both academics and athletics had always been a challenge for student-athletes and to find the perfect balance between the two elements was always an achievement. The U.S. Track 8: Field and Cross Country Coaches Association CUSTFCCCAJ recognized four track and field student-athletes for this particular achievement this past year. Beverly Ramos, senior in physical science and chemical sciences, Sara Stoakes, sophomore in animal science, Moritz Cleve, sophomore in mass communications, and lack Sachse, graduate student in counseling and student development, were named to the Division All-Academic Track and Field team, one of the most prestigious honors given by the USTFCCCA. They were specifically recognized for being student- athletes that met and exceeded expectations in both the academic and the athletic part of their college careers. Itls definitely an honorf' Stoakes said. To be an athlete and to do well in the classroom is really a challenge because you have to put a lot of time into both, so it is an honor to excel in bothf' To be named to the All-Academic team, the student-athlete must have a cumulative collegiate GPA of 3.25 or higher and meet NCAA Division 1 athletic qualifications. I think this particular award is cool, because it does have an athletic component to it, Sachse said. There are some solely academic awards that are out there, but with this one, you have to qualify athletically as well. Continued on poge 246 245- Physical strength helped this pole vaulter clear the bar in a meet that was hosted in Manhattan. Ramos and Sachse agreed that the importance ol being a student athlete not only came from the physical aspect alone, it is iust as much the academic side that makes one become successful. Jennifer Heelce Continued from page 245 The student-athletes made it a habit ofjugglin long hours of conditioning and practice squeezed between classes and homework assignments. Thej would wake up before the sun rose to run various routes through out the city of Manhattan, just to arrive back at Ahearn Field House right before th morning classes started at the university. It helps that our coach is really organized, Sachse said. He gives us our training about a week in advanc with the practice times, so you can plan your class schedule and organize everything around thatf, The not-so-secret ingredient to this success wa something that these athletes held dear. They all agreed time management and determination were two of the main components that helped them strive for excellence in all aspects of their lives. I was able to maintain high levels in both academics and in track, but it takes a lot of time,' Ramos said. I learned the importance of managi responsibilities and I think that is what really lped me out? lRamos had a specific perspective on what it :ant to a be a student athlete at a Division I iversity, and as a recent graduate and newly med member of the USTFCCCA All Academic ,m, she was more than qualified to give her two its on the subject. My advice is to keep in mind that being an llete is a privilege, Ramos said. Not everyone s the talent and it is really an honor. The staff d the coaches here really help us stay focused. ey help us realize that if we put our mind to it cl realize how special the sports aspect actually we can really achieve anything academically. With endless determination and potential, :se student-athletes set an example for the rest the university. Between sleeping and eating, leezed amid school and homework, these four itinct students used organization and time inagement to rise above the rest.

Dolezal, junior in biological systems engineering, found that most of his time was focused on activities outside of the classroom. Dolezal served as president of the Acacia chapter at the university, participated in Chimes Iunior Honorary, maintained academic honors from the university, and played table tennis in his free time. I think with the experience you gain from extracurricular activities helps you to relate to people, Dolezal said. Relating with other people and working with those people gives you a great opportunity to build yourself and grow yourself into a person who is ready to apply themselves in the real world. While many fraternities in the Greek system had other priorities, Acacia took a different approach to the social scene. The fraternity was founded in 1904 by a group of men at the University of Michigan. The founders intended for members to be motivated by a desire for scholarship and of such character that the fraternity would be free of the social vices and unbecoming activities that for years had been prevalent in fraternity life. We're here to help each other grow, Dolezal said. And we're here to make sure that all of us reach our goals as undergraduate students first and foremost, then we have a set of guidelines or principles that we fall back on after you graduate. Like other fraternities, you have a lifetime of support, if you ever need help, you can come back. Acacia has deep roots as a leading organization at the university An example of the exemplary leadership at K-State, the buildings Seaton, Willard, Waters, Ford and Bushnell were all named after previous members. In addition, Acacians have represented Kansans in political offices including senators and governors, led international businesses and coached Division I football teams. 'KOur chapter has quite an impressive history, Dolezal said. uThis fraternity has not only sealed a legacy at K-State, it has sealed a legacy throughout the worldf, After leaving the university Greek system in 1999, Acacia was reinstituted in 2001 with a new vision of Together Building Exceptional Lives. Between 2007 and 2010, the chapter grew from seven to 57 members. Increased membership was attributed to enhanced programming in the areas of brotherhood, community service and philanthropy. The vision for Dolezal's presidency was to enhance leadership and involvement on campus. Thanks to Chris, we have gotten to a point now where a lot of the in-house programs are working, Iosh Linn, senior in chemical engineering and member of Acacia, said. So we thought it was our responsibility to take some of the leadership training and education we received in-house and take it out of the house to influence campus? As president, Dolezal was able to include all members of the chapter, regardless of whether or not they lived in the house, in the fraternity mission. He was instrumental in helping the fraternity to take the next step as a chapter. I respect Chris's ability to relate to all peoplef, Linn said. 'tHe was able to create a fun, yet developmental atmosphere in which others could learn and livef' Not only was Dolezal an asset to his chapter, he was also well known and liked within the College of Engineering. Louise Claassen, an administrative assistant in the engineering department, spent quite a bit of time with Dolezal on recruitment efforts. Claassen and Dolezal gave tours, answered questions, and served as resources for high school seniors. Chris is very personablef, Claassen said. He makes both the parents and the prospective students feel very welcome and he is very knowledgeable about the engineering departmentf' Dolezal planned to graduate in May 2012 and go on to study to be an orthopedic surgeon at the University of Kansas Medical School. He hoped that the Acacia chapter would continue to strive for excellence in academics and maintain the upstanding social behavior that he had worked hard to preserve throughout his presidency. 261- merica's Next Top Model was a television show that captured young women trying to pursue their dream of modeling. Iennifer Coen, sophomore in life sciences and member of Alpha Delta Pi, auditioned for the show for modeling experience and to fulfill her own dream. I was in Gulf Shores, Ala. for a summer project called Kaleofl Coen said. Through Kaleo we were all required to have jobs, so I worked at Coach in the Tanger Outlets. There was a sign outside the Tanger Outlets that said that there were auditions for Americas Next Top Model taking place in one of the empty suites in the outlet. I talked to my parents about it, and they really encouraged me to try out for it since I've done modeling a huge portion of my life. I filled out the application and waited in line for the audition. After filling out a short application and waiting in line for about four hours, the judging process began. Each audition only took about ten minutes because of the amount of women trying out. About three weeks after the first audition, Coen received a phone call asking if she would like to go to Nashville for the second round. This process was essentially the same except the women were measured, photographed and interviewed by Tyra Banks, former model and executive producer for the show. Banks' questions were geared to determine the motivation and reason she tried out for America's Next Top Model. My advice was to be herselff, Monica Hart-Coen, Iennifer's mother, said. She is a confident young lady who is very grounded. A sweet girl from Kansas might just be the person they are looking for. Even though she was not chosen, being a semi-finalist was a wonderful experience she will never forget. Along with modeling, Coen also had a passion for singing. She had been singing since seventh grade and was on the Campus Ministry choir at the university. She planned on trying out for American Idol or recording a music demo over winter break. I have a couple of connections to people who are big in the industry so it would be great if they would listen to my music and take the opportunity to meet with me and help me grow in my music career, Iennifer said. This opportunity to audition for America's Next Top Model helped her gain confidence and opened many doors. It really helped me gain self-confidence to know if I could do this, Iennifer said. I could accomplish almost anything since these people are huge in the business. Another thing my mom has always said to me is there is no such thing as luck. It is when hard work meets opportunity that things like this happen. It's important to always work as hard as you can towards a goal, and if they see that that hard work has paid off they will recognize that.

While the reason for going to the fville past 9:00 p.1n. on any given night of the week might seem ridiculous to some, it was completely normal and a time to enjoy a night out with friends. ult's a small town feel where you can see people you know, but itfs big enough where you can branch out and meet new people, Iessica Brahar, junior in family and consumer sciences, said. uSome bars are there for dancing and some you can play card games. Each bar has their share of usual customers who they see almost on a daily basis, but every now and then a few newcomers to the bar scene show up. Aggieville tended to be the hotspot for newly 2 l -year olds. L'I'm excited to be legal and go out and experience the full Aggievillef Lindsey Thompson, junior in architectural engineering, said on her first legal night out. ul still have that stigma that llve got to watch my back. The cleaner, more spontaneous side was to freely float from bar to bar whenever one wished. It was a different case for the bartenders, door guys and waitresses, however. UOne guy got knocked out one Friday night, Max Bennett, junior in business administration and door guy for Kites Bar and Grill, said. uThis kid said something to another guy and he was screaming so l had to grab him and his friend by the neck and throw them out. The location and convenience could hardly keep many from walking through the front doors of their favorite bar. Located just one block east of campus, it was within walking distance for most students who wanted to grab a few friends and go out for a drink. l'The placelnent for the bars is great becat if youlre not getting a good vibe from one of them, well it's time to walk to the next which at max is like 243 blocks awayf' Scott Hoffma senior in biology, said. I go with my cousins and my brother and a lot of our friends and we usually go with a group of I5 to 20 peopl- depending on the night. Thursday nights we with a lot smaller group, but the best deals an at Rusty's where you can get wells for 50 ce with a K-State ID so it's hard to pass up. While some may argue it is pricier to up the bars than pitch in a few dollars 1 a few of your friends to drink, it can ha its upside. uThe bars and house parties are really Ale House Tubby's 1264 Bomb Bor The Purple Pig Campus Tove Kothouse Kite's So Long Saloon Shot Stop Fot's nv fr E. wx W0-Wm iriends, Classmates ond :Q-workers alike euyoy 0 wiglw!

The women of Alpha of Clovia dedicated their time and money to bake 500 cookies and cupcakes for the 58th annual Lee Elementary Schoolis chicken dinner. Chapter members heard the school was in desperate need of desserts for their dinner, so they decided to take it on as another philanthropic event. The volunteers at Lee Elementary School loved all the colors and were tlabbergasted at how many we didf, Katie Price, sophomore in animal sciences and industry, said. Some of them were simply speechless over how many goods we had baked in a short period of time. Three members baked the entire batch of cupcakes and cookies while the others decorated them. They divided baking into two days because of the lack of space and abundance of treats. After the baking was completed, the 40 participating members ate dinner and had a decorating and frosting party. It took less than an hour to complete, but toward the end, they ran out of powdered sugar to make frosting. There were over 100 treats that were not needed at the ry if xx Uv APN school, so the members decided to give back to the people who helped make their house successful. They delivered the leftovers to their handyman, Pat, and the people at their foundation house. Everyone at the foundation was extremely grateful to the members for going above and beyond and including them in their philanthropy. 'cIt's nice to help out those in the Manhattan community who need and appreciate us, it makes you feel really good afterwards, Iancey Hall, sophomore in agricultural economics, said. During the holidays, Alpha of Clovia made Christmas cards and sent them to wounded soldiers and bought morning snacks from school fundraisers in order to give money back to local schools. One of my favorite things about Clovia is the fact that we have such an emphasis on sisterhoodf' Bailey Myers, sophomore in secondary education, said. uThere's always someone there for you, whether it's picking you up from class in the rain or just listening to you vent about whatever is on your mind.

They also showed their support by watching and actively participating in practices. The men asked questions during the question and answer portion to help calm the ladies' nerves. They wanted them to be comfortable with people watching so they didn't freeze up when it was time for the real performance. Cavazos went on and performed at the Kansas Miss Black and Gold as a representative for the Kappa Tau Chapter of Alpha Phi Alpha.

Because of their participation and enthusiasm, they were chosen to host basketball coach Frank Martin and his wife at the chapter dinner Sept. 29. 'Alpha Xi was the first sorority house that Frank Martin had ever been to and you could tell he was a little uncomfortablef Laurren Rehkop, junior in hotel and restaurant management, said. He kept making comments about how he was under dressed but we didn't mind at all, I mean Frank Martin was sitting in our house. The dinner allowed for all the girls to interact with a campus celebrity on a personal level. Martin shared stories from his college years and how he and his wife, Anya Martin, met. He joked about being a seventh-year senior and how he would skip class to go to the beach in Miami, Fla. He made sure to mention that he regretted skipping class and gave advice to the Alpha Xi's to stay in school and never skip class. I think he felt at home in our housef' Courtney Drane, senior in marketing, said. He did seem nervous at first ss though because he was surrounded by so many girls. Dinner consisted of barbeque beef and potatoes. Martin was shocked when the houseboys served him his dinner. He popped his head through the window to the kitchen and cracked jokes to the houseboys. After dinner he stood up and thanked the women for their support at the games and for allowing him to come eat dinner at their house. Before leaving, Martin took a group picture with the girls and signed a basketball for the house. 'cWe didnit want to overwhelm him with pictures and autographs, so we thought the basketball would be a great souvenir for the housef Katarina Tusten, senior in communication sciences and disorders and president of Alpha Xi Delta, said. Having Martin at dinner was an experience that many women at this university cannot say they have had The women of Alpha Xi showed their support for the baseball team and in return received a unique incentive.

Mwwwwfwnaupm he women of Alpha Chi Omega hold the sixth annual Lighting up the Little Apple, during dead week to help victims of domestic violence and sexual assault. Each house in the Greek system at the university displayed Christmas spirit in a variety of ways, and the women of Alpha Chi Omega chose to turn these exhibits of holiday cheer into support for a local cause. I like the competition we host because it involves the whole Greek community, Emily Chartrand, junior in mass communications and member of Alpha Chi, said. The whole idea behind the event is that it is supposed to shed a light on victims of domestic violence and raise awareness. The event, called Lighting Up the Little Apple, was the sixth annual competition within the Greek system to determine which chapter exhibited the best display of holiday cheer. The participants were judged on their outdoor lighting, indoor tree decorations, out-of-house decor, or all of the above. When you see the Greek houses with lights and decoration up, it is cool knowing they're doing it because of our competition. Megan Sorrick, senior in finance and Alpha Chi philanthropy chair, said. Plus, you know it's for a good cause.' The proceeds from this philanthropy event benefited The Cr Center, Inc., a local provider of resources and support to victim of domestic violence, abuse and sexual assault.

A select panel of university celebrities served as the judges for event.

The group tt from chapter house to chapter house evaluating decor oughout dead week. I love the event, Wilson said. It amazes me, the amount of talent that is on this campus. It really comes out when the students decorate the exterior of their homes. The Sigma Phi Epsilon chapter won the outside decor prize, the members of Delta Delta Delta were the winners of this year's sorority Christmas tree decoration competition, and Theta Xi was the winner of the fraternity Christmas tree decoration contest. Winners received a pizza party, decorated cookies or a performance by Cadence, a male a cappella group on campus. In this year's Light up the Little Apple competition, Alpha Chi raised more than S700 for the Crisis Center. 275- :276 FOR A For the ninth consecutive year, the men of Beta Theta Pi dug out their scariest masks and covered themselves in fake blood for their annual philanthropy, Beta Boo. Beta Boo was a haunted house the members put on each year the weekend before Halloween for university students, as well as children in the community. We wanted a philanthropy that was unique and would be fun for both K-State students and community members and thought a haunted house was the perfect idea,' Andrew Waldman, sophomore in industrial engineering and Beta's philanthropy chair, said. Planning began months prior to the event by ordering banners and T-shirts, getting flame-retardant tarps and making fliers. However, most of the preparation for the event happened the day of, which caused some chaos. We don't want to destroy our house for weeks so we kind of have to wait until the last minute to put everything together, Waldman said. We were literally putting the finishing touches on everything as people were showing upf, The Beta house was completely transformed from a home where 50 men live, into a full-fledged haunted house with scary noises and bloody victims. One difficulty in the planning process was attempting to not violate Ere codes with hanging tarps and scary attractions. We had to be in constant communication with a fire inspector every step of the way, Waldman said. We had somewhere around four fire inspections before Beta Boo even happenedf, All live-in members of Beta and many live-out members helped with the philanthropy in one way or another. by Nicole DeBrie The guys put a lot of time and effort into coming up with a scene for their room that would actually be scary, Waldman said. It was up to them to come up with an idea for the room they chose, buy everything they needed and ultimately man the room as people came through. Other members were not designated to a certain room, but instead were tour guides. The tour guides led groups of about 10 visitors through the house. I was a tour guide so I introduced people to the house, Matt Hildebrand, sophomore in biology, said. I first showed them a video to get their nerves going, then walked them through the house showing them all of the scary features. There was a suggested donation to experience the haunted house of SBS, or S3 along with a canned good. The canned goods were donated to the Flint Hills Bread Basket and the monetary donations went to a children's program through the Manhattan Fire Department, which advocated fire safety to children and other community members. Beta Boo was more than a philanthropy to raise money, it was also a time for the men of the house to come together and all contribute to a common goal while increasing their brotherhood. It,s a blast transforming the house for Beta Boo, Cooper Mach, junior in journalism, said. It takes a couple of days and is a lot of work but it's fun because all of the guys are pitching in. Come to think of it, it probably takes so long to set up because half the time is spent laughing and playing jokes on each other. .......... ... ' YM ML: A...

Cars pulled right up to the Chi Omega house where members would deliver cups of cocoa and cookie to their window. uWe set up a type of drive through that went around our house, Lindsey Bjerg, junior in engineering and Chi Omega member, said. 'cWhen you came up to the side there were girls at a table playing Christmas music where you would order what type of cocoa you wanted, mint, regular or with marshmallows, as well as your type of cookie. When you got to the back you would pay and a girl came out with your orderf' The set-up was very conveniently organized so everyone got their treats in a timely manner. GThe best part was not having to get out of our car, Neal Rasmussen, sophomore in geography, said. uThe girls brought the cocoa right to our car, we gave them a little cash and that was that. Members sang Christmas carols sporadically throughout the event or upon request. All of the materials needed for the event, such as cookies, cocoa, marshmallows and cups, were donated by Chi Omega members, which allowed for all of the proceeds to go straight to the Make-A-Wish Foundation. The proceeds came from the small fee guests were charged for the cocoa and cookies. uMake-A-Wish is Chi Omegais national philanthropyf' Brenna Mitchell, sophomore in biology and Chi Omega's community service chair, said. alt sends terminally ill children and their families on vacations. lt's a really good cause and we are fortunate enough to be able to view the benefits of our donationsf' Planning for the event started about two months in advance in October when the date was set. Most of the preparations happened the days closest to the actual event. 'As far as planning goes, we bought decorations for the house, made signs and advertised through Facebook and announcements in classesf, Mitchell said. 'KWe tried to jazz up the house in Christmas decorations as much as possible. This was the first year after taking a couple years off that Chi Omega did Cocoa and Caroling. Previously, donations were only made to Make-A-Wish in the spring but they decided to reconvene Cocoa and Caroling again this year so they could make a donation in the fall semester as well. Luckily there was no rain or snow on the date that was chosen, which could have affected the driving of the guests. K'The day we chose was very successful, Mika Domsch, junior in life sciences and Chi Omega member, said. We started in the early evening when it wasn't too terribly cold and the cocoa kept us warm later in the night This year Chi Omega made some changes from previous years in hopes of raising more money than usual. We encouraged much more participation from our members and we also sold cookies to hopefully entice more donationsf, Mitchell said. Advertisement was also keyf' Almost all members of the sorority helped out in one way or another. Overall, about 75 percent of Chi Omega members participated. My favorite part was making the orders in the kitchen with the other girlsfl Bjerg said. lt was nice to spend some time with the freshmen to get to know themf' Cocoa and Caroling provided an opportunity for the sorority sisters to spend time together, as well as a time to raise money to support a cause. lt was fun to see our chapter excited about helping out, Mitchell said. ul think it made us all realize that giving back is truly the reason why we are an organization in the first place. Mitchell said the event raised close to 5700, which was satisfying considering hot cocoa and cookies are two items that typically do not cost very much money.

The water park consisted of a lazy river, drop slide, surf machine, vortex pool and bubble slide. Mostly middle school through college students visited the pool each day. I loved working there, Iordan Meyer, head lifeguard and junior in kinesiology, said. K'There was always so much going on that the eight-hour shifts flew byf' Meyer worked six eight-hour shifts a week. One of the favorite features of the water park was the Stingray Surf Machine that blew a wave of water up a half pipe slope. It was the world's first Stingray Surf Machinef Meyer said. K'Now-a-days it seems like a pool isnlt fun unless it has slides and extravagant features, but I feel like it will keep people from traveling to other towns to swim and also bring some people to Manhattan. The pool opened at the perfect time for college students to take a break from their studies and work to have some fun. HI would say my favorite part was the inflatable object that you could climb up and then bounce off of once you made it to the topf, Kara Gudenkauf, junior in life sciences, said. It was hard, but really fun. A full schedule had 27 people working at the water park at a time. The rotation was worked out for the day and so that the staff had by Ellie Long to rotate to different areas of the water park. We wanted to keep it open longer but we simply didn't have the staff to run it since all our employees went back to school, Hayen said. Meyer said the lifeguards worked well together and kind of formed a family. They were together from 9:00 a.m. teaching lessons until late at night after work, and sometimes they would all pitch in to make dinner and hang out. Meyer said the lifeguards did face some problems when the pool first opened. Many of the lifeguards had never worked at a water park before, and many of the lifeguard's previous experiences were at simple pools. l'VVhen the pool finally opened there were several areas that presented challenges for our guards to see, so setting our guard stations was a major challengef' Meyer said. We relied on a lot of input from our guards on how to change a station to make it easier to keep the patrons safe' At the water park, lifeguards had to be looking for so much more than they did at other pools. He said a lot of pools only had a handful of saves in a summer, but the water park had around ten saves or assists a clay. At my previous pool a four-hour shift seemed like an eternity, but not at the new city park poolf, Meyer said. My favorite part about working at the water park was being in charge of something so big. Vtfhen I was young and went to water parks I always thought the lifeguards were so cool because they got to play at the water park every day. 283- delta delta delta M by Brent Gipsori Portable meals create a chance for sorority sisters to do their part to help a nationally known research hospital. The Delta Delta Delta sorority annually raised funds for its national philanthropy. St. Jude's Children's Hospital. which provided services to children with severe cancer and other rare diseases. At the football game against the University of Texas. Tri Delta and its philanthropic supporters gathered in CatTown. an enclosed grassy area by Bill Snyder Family Stadium. to feast upon walking tacos. With a walking taco. you can walk and eat. making it very convenient, Lauren Dreesen.junior in food science and industry and sorority philanthropy chairwoman. said. A walking taco consists ofa l-ounce bag of Doritos chips. taco beef. shredded cheese. lettuce. sour cream and salsa all inside the bag. Add a fork. and you've got a meal on-the-go. The sorority also partnered with Lambda Chi Alpha fraternity in the sprint to co-host Wildcat Shootout. a 3-on-3 soccer tournament that raises about S400 annually. In October. the sisterhood also took part in a letter-writing event called Sincerely Yours that raised around 334.000 annually to benefit St. Judes 'fWe chose to hold our event in CatTown because K-State Athletics prohibits solicitation on their property. Lindsay Johnson.junior in elementary education and sorority public relations chair. said. HCatTown is owned by Veterinary Alumni. so this location did not apply to K-State Athletics policies. There was a large fee to host in this location, Tri Delta sorority national headquarters. located in Arlington. Texas. with the input of their chapters in 1999. chose St. Jude's Children's Hospital as their national philanthropy. In 2006. the organization made a pledge to St. Jude's to raise S10 million in 10 years. In the summer of 2010. the sorority reached their goal. meaning that the goal was set six years ahead of schedule. The organization reset the goal to raise I 5 million in tive years. Resetting the goal to me meant that K-State needed to step up our philanthropic efforts to help the national organization reach the goal. Dreesen said. Tri Delta has been dedicated to raise the funds for new research. St. .lude's has a different approach to healthcare. No child is turned away from the hospital due to their inability to pay. St. Jude's covers all costs so that the families may focus on one important thing. Getting their child well is the most important thing, Johnson said.

I believe every individual should have the right to live freely and work freely and visit the restaurants and businesses without the fear of some kind of persecution based on who they love, Dusty Garner, senior in political science, said. An ordinance was created to include an anti- discrimination clause for lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender CLGBTJ people in employment. accommodations, and housing in Manhattan, However, an organization called Awaken Manhattan hosted a rally Dec, l to oppose the ordinance. In response to it. Garner organized a counter-rally at the same time. Students are protected while they are on campus. but most students don't live on campus or work on campusf' Garner said.

Several DLP members were there for the rally and several spoke to its participants. The goal of the rally was to send a message that this is an ordinance that goes beyond religious valuesf' Garner said. This is about people's individual liberties and freedoms and the ability to have a home and not fear that they will be kicked out or to have a job and not worry that they could be tired simply because of who they love. I think we were very successful in getting that message acrossf, Garner discovered the plans for Awaken Manhattan's rally after seeing a full-page advertisement in both the Collegian and the Manhattan Mercury, consisting of a letter from 16 local ministers urging city commissioners not to support the ordinance because it goes against their religious values. One of the points made at the rally Garner organized was to raise enough funds to print a full-page ad in support of the ordinance. The money was easily gathered within the time of the rally. It was amazing just to see we have that much support for the city ordinance and just for everything in general in the LGBT community, Derek Manzaneres, sophomore in music education, said. HI just stood back and took it in for a second. It was really moving for me. The rally also covered several other issues involved with the LGBT community. The first issue was reparative therapy, a technique used by religious institutions to attempt to change a person's sexual orientation. This can be done by means of electroshock therapy, diversion therapy, various hypnosis techniques, or prayer techniques. VVhat really sparked fthe rallyl was the group on campus who held - what us in the gay community figure - are pretty radical thoughts about gay reparative therapy? Charles Iohnston, graduate student in theatre and president of DLP, said. Garner stated that reparative therapy tends to cause a high rate of suicide and low self worth because those feelings are intrinsic to a personls being. Time and time again these things have proven to be very dangerous to the person receiving the treatment? Garner said. XfVhen you start trying to change them, that sends mixed messages to the brainf, The other issue was about a researcher at the university who published research stating that LGBT people are not fit parents because their children tend to grow up gay. It also included research that said LGBTs are more prone to depression and other mental disorders and that they tend to be LGBT because of early childhood abuse. I believe that researchers should be free to do the kind of research they need to do whether itls popular or not but there is a very fine line that is sometimes crossed when a researcher does research that is biased to their own set of opinions rather than based on fact, Garner said. That's when the research needs to be called into question and that has not been happening well here. The rally ended with one last holler of support with the hopes that it uwould interrupt their praying, at least for one minute? This sounded throughout the entire Union and lasted the whole minute. I appreciate more than anything that the discussion has been very civilf, Garner said. The city commissioners have done a very good job of listening to all sides of this issue so as to craft an ordinance that is all encompassing. Following the rally, a meeting for the ordinance was held Dec. 7 at 7 p.m. Supporters for and against the ordinance gathered for a heated debate. The meeting lasted until 1 a.m. when the ordinance was finally passed to a second hearing where it will be voted whether or not to uphold the previous vote. I'Because of that, therels a good chance that it might go throughf' Manzanares said. It starts with one city, and hopefully it'll go up to county and state and eventually it'll get to a national level. This is the first step of a very big journeyf' All of these events, including the rally, were made possible due to the message of Delta Lambda Phi: Make your presence, make a difference. The philosophy encouraged others to make a difference in the LGBT community and show support for what they felt was right. When I was in high school, I never wouldlve told anyone that I was gay, Manzanares said. 'lThrough the pledge process of my house, it's really brought me out of my shell and Ilrn a much more open person.

Then you make a sign saying where you want to go. Gabe Ryan, junior in business administration ost college students did not get to experience the luxury of traveling cross-country due to lack of time or money. However, two Delta Sigma Phi members discovered a way to go wherever they wanted without spending a dime, albeit not so luxurious. They found that hitchhiking was an exciting and cheap way to travel. Gabe Ryan, junior in business administration, and Garrett McBride, junior in geography, said the idea first came to them freshman year when they were talking over breakfast. They found out that hitchhiking was something they both had wanted to do in high school, but their parents would not allow it. The pair decided then that they would make their first hitchhiking trip to a barbecue in Kansas City over fall break. That was the first time, and we've just kept doing it since, McBride said. That spring break we went to California. When going on a hitchhiking trek, the only things the two took with them were items needed for sleeping outside, clean clothes, and 20 dollars. With all needed items in tow, they would begin a journey by hitching a ride to the interstate. We never hike, McBride said. We just hitch. We're really lazy hitchhikersf' Standing on the side of an interstate with your thumb out wasn't the most promising way to bum a ride. The pair caught drivers' attentions by smiling and being cheesyn and just being a kidf' Even doing this, they sometimes waited as long as two hours for someone to pick them up. We always talk trash on cars that don't pick us up,', Ryan said. But, we smile doing it so they don't know. We say really, really mean things as we smilef' To get across one state, the pair estimated it took about four different rides. 'ilf you get a truck driver, they'll usually go two states at a time, but sometimes it takes around 15 rides just to get across one state, McBride said. It just depends on how lucky you get and where you get dropped off. -.l A. Though the people who gave rides to Ryan and McBride couldn't always be described as average, the two rarely had trouble finding food or a place to sleep due to the generosity of those giving the a lift. When they weren't so lucky, they would resort to stocking up on Gatorad and peanut M8cM's from a convenience ,z.....v.,..,Iw,i.t.: . keg..

One weekls edition of the Sunday night seminar was entitled, l'What Women Want. mlhe opening olcar doors, payment at dinner, calling versus texting, et cetera are all somewhat up in the air now compared to 20 years agof' lohn Grice, junior in political science and chapter preside said. uWe decided that as a part of our Sunday night seminars we arrange for our new members we would have a Lwhat women want' session where we bring in trusted females from the community ot' varying collegiate ages and have a down to earth panel. The goal of this seminar was to facilitate discussion in a very down to earth, relaxed manner. DU asked three women and their house mom to answer any questions and give insight into dating and other areas. I think it was pretty important because l know the opposite sex can be very conliusing sometimes, Hillary Boyle, junior in accounting, said. l l'hey had a lot of good questions. During the seminar, the new members had the opportunity to Q questions about anything from dating, relationships, nightlife, pic up lines and how to dress. 'llt's important to go through stuff like that as a new member st you can realize what dating is like in college, Kent Schmidtberger, junior in industrial engineering, said. During this seminar, new members had the opportunity to ask Steve chemical 0 Q he men of Delta Upsilon tried J answer the question men of all ges have been Rendering over Jr years: what 0 Women want?

A'l'hey asked us what a good way to get a girlis phone number t's not creepy, whats the best date we have been on in Manhattan, at the creepiest pick up line was, how not to make a date awkward 2n it's over and good gift ideas, Boyle said. Srice said the chapter chose women who knew DU as respectable tleman who they felt would help their new member class grow. iAt first it was awkward and embarrassing telling my insight on sf, Boyle said. uliut as it went on the room loosened up and it was tl of fun. l Hrice said undoubtedly every fraternity recruits whom they deem e the best pledge class on Campus, and the eighteenfyear-old boys I welcome into their brotherhood are socially incompetent 95 :ent of the time. As more justifications for creating something of this nature, the ng game has changedfl Grice said. l'What young men learn from r mothers and fathers as acceptable is oddly weird and awkward iost dating situations these days.

The Bakery, located in the basement of the Derby Complex, was a favorite among many students because of the fresh, homemade goods. K'My freshman year I lived in Ford so I was very close to the bakery, Sarah Snell, junior in communication studies, said. I would stop by the bakery multiple times a week because it was on my way. This year and last school year I lived clear on the other side of campus but still managed to find myself at the bakery multiple times a week. It's just that goodfl Much more happens at The Bakery other than retail sales of baked goods. Most of the production and baking of the treats happens in the back, as well as the preparation of some food items served in the dining centers. In the back I make sub buns, pizza dough and large batches of cookies for the Derby, Kramer and Van Zile dining centers, Claire Iensen, sophomore in business administration and bakery employee, said. c'When I work in the front, usually I will set up the display case, bake cookies as needed, bag the daily bread and put together special orders for the dayf' Special orders varied from custom ordered cakes to big batches of cookies, as well as rice crispy treats and brownies for events like finals or birthdays. It was popular for parents to call and order something special for their student to get through Hnals week. if the baker made to order by Nicole DeBrie The most stressful times are when everybody is ordering special orders for finals. It gets super busy towards the end of the yearf' Iensen said. The Bakery was made up of all student employees, besides the supervisors. K'We hire mostly students because it is convenient for them and it is convenient for usf' bakery supervisor len McCown said. alt allows for students to work between classes without them having to leave campus. Students who worked at the bakery were still able to enjoy their usual school breaks, as well as enjoy other incentives through their employment. 'There are many perks, Iensen said. 'ilf you don't already live in the residence halls, you get half price meals at the dining centers. I don't have to work breaks and weekends are optional. The perk that seems good but can be bad at the same time is getting to eat what all is being made. There is always extra of everything we makef, Whether it was the monster cookies or the peanut butter rice-crispy treats, students all had their own favorite. A treat from The Bakery was often times the thing students needed to get through studying for their next big test. I think one of the main reasons students like it so much is because most of us don't get those home-baked goodies here at school like when we're homef, Snell said.

The event consisted of three different rounds, including a volleyball tournament, relay races and flag football. l n the past several years, Gamma Phi Beta hosted campus golf as their philanthropy it. Campus golf hadn't brought in the :eeds or involvement they hoped for, so ' decided it was time for something new. We felt like we needed a change, Sarah ner, junior in finance and Gamma Phi's anthropy chair, said. f'We didn't feel like old philanthropy was having the greek mlvement we wanted. We tried to find iething that would involve more peoplefl n order to participate in Gamma Games, fraternities could enter a team for a fee of 2975. They also had the option of making a monetary donation and purchasing Gamma Games T-shirts. Gamma Phi has two philanthropies, one local, the Boys and Girls Club of Manhattan, and one national, Camp Fire USA. The proceeds from entry fees, T-shirt sales and monetary donations were split evenly between the two organizations. 'LSince it was our lirst year we didn't really know what to except as far as proceeds goesfl sophomore Kelly Downes, Gamma Phi's internal philanthropy assistant, said. i'We set a goal to raise 300 dollars for each of our philanthropies. We exceeded that just from tvshirt sales, which was outstanding, We definitely surpassed what we thought we were going to raise. Gamma Phi began the fund raising process months before the event took place by asking local businesses for sponsorship.

The event began with the dads, club meeting where they met other fathers and voted on an item to donate to the house. ln years past, they've gotten a TV for the downstairs, Madeline Logan, junior in marketing and event planner of the house, said. K'They always get little things that will make Theta more comfortable for usf' After the meeting, fathers were released to spend the rest of the time with their daughters. Some went to the football game while others stayed at Theta to hang out. Logan said that this event was held so Theta girls could have one-on-one time with their parents. Many of the girls said it was one of their most memorable times in college. uHe's my best friend, Katelyn Schleicher, sophomore in education, said. ul love spending time with him. We have a lot of father-daughter momentsf, Wfhen asked about the relationship between father and daughter, lohn Schleicher, father of Katelyn Schleicher, was left speechless. K'That's hard to sayfl John said. ul just donyt know what to say about that. The following day, fathers and daughters received a special breakfast from the sorority and were given a dance lesson at the university's recreation center. Logan set up the Sunday activities for families who came from far away and had to stay the night. We've always been close so it's nice to see him come up and interact with all the other dads and interact with everybody I live with on a daily hasisfi Allison Pfeifer, senior in human resource management and president of the house, said.

The national vice president of membership, Kim Flood Ryan, was present at the event and was given a reception by the women of the Sigma Gamma chapter. In the evening, a formal dinner was held in the Union's Grand Ballroom. The women dressed up and brought dates to the celebration. Along with dinner, there was also a live disc jockey and dancing. I thought the 90th anniversary was amazingf, Kristie Clark, sophomore in accounting, said. uIt was a really fun after attending the 90th celebration because I could see myself in 20 years being a part of the Kappa Delta legacyf Erica Hamman, freshman in biology, said. Through a weekend filled with celebration, the women of Kappa Delta gained a greater appreciation for their chapter and their sisterhood. u0ne of the things that I learned throughout the experience of planning the 90th was that the bonds of sisterhood go beyond collegiate yearsfl Huskey said. HI worked with many alumnae in organizing this project and became really good friends with them. If we had been in the same pledge class, thereis no doubt in my mind that we would have spent the last 50 years together.

Spending days in I-Iale library and nights in Aggieville, it seemed to be a comfortable place to develop a routine and some lasting friendships. However, four eager women of Kappa Kappa Gamma, who were much accustomed to this life, decided to shake it up a little and test their luck at the college life in a culture much different than that of Manhattan. Blake Leonard, junior in accounting and Spanish, Rachel Iames, junior in humanities and Spanish, Ali Meyer, junior in nutritional sciences, and Iessica Everhart, junior in accounting, all made the decision to study abroad with a group of students from the university in Salamanca, Spain during the summer of 2010.

It,s hard to be away for that long because I love the sporting events and I love Kappa, and I didnlt want to miss things in Manhattan during this time. There is always time to travel alter college, but you really only get one chance to be in college? In Salamanca, they were fully immersed in the culture by attending classes that were taught in Spanish each weekday and stayed with a host family each night. Each of the women were exposed to different perspectives of the city because of where their host families resided, but that did not stop them from embracing every aspect of the foreign culture. i'We did hang out and get closer, but we also all kind of branched out and did our own thing in Spainf, Meyer said.

Lisle Alderfon by Natalie Raulli It was typical for fraternities and sororities at the university to host concerts throughout the year. However, most didn't end with the lead singer being arrested. Lambda Chi Alpha and Beta Theta Pi fraternities hosted a typical concert in September with a not-so-typical ending. Sammy Adams, a rapper and native of Cambridge, Mass., served as the headliner for this event benefiting the Flint Hills Bread Basket. The men of Lambda Chi and Beta sold over 700 concert T-shirts, which served as tickets for the event. Bringing Sammy to Manhattan was expensive, Iustin Huschka, junior in management and social chair for Lambda Chi, said. After all the costs to host the concert, we had arolmd 52,500 to donate to the Flint Hills Bread Basket? Unfortunately, the fraternities were unable to donate all 52,500 to the charity. Forty-live minutes into Adams' performance, officers of the Riley County Police Department escorted the Continued on page 318 317- -318 Hundreds ol students were present in lambda Chi Alpho's parking lot when the concert was put to an end.

I actually enjoyed getting to know Sammy's manager while sitting in the jail's waiting room, though. According to the RCPD, Adams was arrested for violating a noise permit issued by the City of Manhattan. The hosts of the event had obtained the permit for the concert, which was to last until 1 1 p.m. The most frustrating part was that we had talked to lthe police departmentl several times and they had okayed the concert, Huschka said. I guess it was just disappointing that it turned out the way it did, even after all the hard work. This particular incident was one of many frustrating occurrences that the Greek system faced with the RCPD that fall. Increased tension between law enforcement officials and Greek community members led to intervention by the administration. This year, we have tried to focus on addressing issues before they became a serious problem, Brad Schoen, Director of the Riley County Police Department, said. We entered into the semester realizing that we usually have issues lwith the Greek communityl, so we said, 'let's see what we can do about it. ' The Riley County Police Department Community Advisory Board was a group designed to counsel the police department when faced with issues such as the Adams debacle. Several fraternity presidents from the lmiversity were invited to attend a J meeting several weeks after the concert. I felt like the initial meetings with the police officers were just frustratingfl Tom Chaffee, junior in social sciences and gerontology and president of Beta Theta Pi, said.

The notes rose and fell as the musical story progressed. Then, as delicately as it began, it stopped. Kelly Tracz, sophomore in music, looked to the man standing next to her, and waited to hear what he had to say. The man was William McMullen, an oboe professor who taught at the University of Nebraska for 25 years. He was widely known in the music community for being an oboe soloist with the Lincoln Symphony Orchestra. He had performed worldwide at International Double Reed Society conventions in the Netherlands, Australia and Canada. McMullen knew his craft and his craft was oboe. McMullen visited the university to give advice and instruction to the oboe master class. Advice was what Tracz was looking for when she hnished her piece. McMullen stood completely still. ult was a ghostfl McMullen said. It was like you were flying with the ghost, through the room? Tracz's chest deflated, as if she had been holding her breath the whole time. When she returned to her seat, she smiled. A positive review from McMullen was something to smile about. That was the first time he made the special trip to oboe masters the class, and the students had been working all semester on their pieces to have him critique. Rachel Roth, sophomore in wildlife and conservation biology, didn't take the opportunity for granted. You really do not get a chance like that very oftenfl Roth said. 'KIt's phenomenal. When Roth went up for her one-on-one time, McMullen encouraged her to relax while she played. He found that her hand position was off, so he corrected her with the assurance that when the fundamentals were fixed, she and her audience would be more comfortable. The best advice I received from him was to keep in mind the basics, Roth said. 'KI never thought about it, but he was right. The tension was gone, and I felt much more comfortable. It wasn't hard to be comfortable because McMullen created what appeared to be a fun environment for the students to playin. He cracked jokes about his musical journey, encouraged applause, and even played along with 'his oboe. The more relaxed he was, the easier it was for the students to play confidently. 'lThe best way to fix something is to do it in front of a lot of peoplef, McMullen said. HWhen you do that, you tend to fix it fastfl M as te it Z Master 323- W mit, I r tl , it wet K 'ff 1 .

The university's LULAC council had about 20 to 25 members, all of whom were actively involved in the community. They helped with the English speaking classes taught at Seven Dolors Catholic Church and volunteered at the Flint Hills Clinic as translators. Within the campus they dedicated their time to the university's open house, senior days, and activity carnival. With starting LULAC my freshman year, studying abroad last year and just getting back into the swing of things this year, l haven't had that much of a chance to be really involved in Flllf' Benavides said. The future plans of LULAC were to expand and help the community in any new ways possible. They planned to host a state convention for all of the LULAC councils in Kansas in April 2011.

In order to fulhll its social obligations in 2009 Phi Kap started its own philanthropy called uMovemberll where the members grew out their mustaches for the entire month of November. The idea was started by a group of men in Australia.

This year, Phi Kap raised money to beneht the Prostate Cancer Foundation and Livestrong, the Lance Armstrong foundation. In September, the members had a scholarship dinner for all the men who received a 3.5 GPA or higher. The reward was a steak dinner for those who got a higher GPA, while other members ate hot dogs. Kansas Iota Phi Kaps' scholarship dinner was the topic of discussion amongst many other chapters at the Leadership Institute. It was neat to get those awards and for other chapters to notice us, Matt Fiedler, senior in architectural engineering, said. L'We werenlt just some small little fraternity in Kansasf' As part of their intellectual development, members received many lessons that would help them in the future. At least 80 percent of members were required to attend a program that focuses on life skills and academics. The Holtz Hall tutoring group shared with membe what its program had to offer in order to excel in academics and taught them important study habits. 1'In order to focus on life skills, we had Ol old house mom come in and teach us propa interviewing techniques and how to pack ar dress for business tripsf' Halling said. Being runner-up at the Leadership Institute gave the Phi Kaps the drive to wa harder for the upcoming convention in the summer. They implemented new stud hour rules for members and started their own scholarship for incoming freshman. They worked more with the Manhattan community in hopes of bringing home th Founder's Cup, the highest award a Phi Ka chapter can receive.

The members of Pi Phi were pleased with the number of alumnae who came to the celebration, some even came from out of state. f'It's important we get to communicate with past alumni because we get to see some of their experiences and bond with them and see how it was in the old days, Bailey Thomas, senior in apparel marketing, said. That night, Pi Phi's alumnae and collegians were invited to the Grand Ballroom of the Student Union for a formal dinner and dance in celebration of 95 years on campus.

'fIt's cool to talk to them and see how things have changed. It took the collaboration and cooperation of many members from the chapter to plan the 95th celebration. Pi Phi started planning for the event five or six months prior and did a lot of planning over the summer. f'lt's evident how much pride fthe alumnael had and how much they cared about their chapter, Victoria Swearingen,junior in secondary education and vice president of event planning for Pi Phi, said. lt gives everyone an opportunity to come together. and it's important we come together to celebrate something as important as this. Polfer said the founders created Pi Beta Phi to cultivate friendship, establish real-life objectives and promote happiness, and the current members say they continue to do so. We're celebrating a tradition of excellence and not just looking back on how great the past 95 years has been.

For the women everywhere who had been assaulted, they decided to hold an event for the first time called Walk a Mile in Her Shoes: The International Menis March to Stop Rape, Sexual Assault and Gender Violence. uPi Kappa Alpha organized this event to help bring more awareness and prevention to rape, sexual assault and gender violencef Zach Hoover, senior in animal sciences and industry, said. One in six women have become victims of rape or attempted rape and 84 percent of women who have been victims knew their assailant.

'fRape is more common than the average person would think. At least someone you know, family member, or a friendys friend has probably been a victim of rape or sexual assault. This topic isnit something that we canit keep in the back of our mindf, With their main goal in mind, the men decided to give back to the community. Whatever donations they received, they gave to a local center for domestic dispute and sexual assault. '4Our goal this year was to bring awareness and prevention of rape and sexual assault, Hoover said. f'We were not focusing on proht making, however, we did receive donations and incurred a profit. We then donated S400 to the Womenls Crisis Center of Manhattan .U The awareness seemed to spread within the Pike house as well. This wasnit just another event to add to their resume. It was a great opportunity to reflect during the walk just how much women today have to go through and how they are treated in return, Drew Frasier, junior in communications studies, said. I only hope that others will be able to take the time to reflect and discover for themselves the role they play in how people are treated in our societyv Many people observed this walk on an early Saturday afternoon and couldn't help but watch. lt was hard not to stare. The best part about it was seeing our whole fraternity walking in high heelsf, Derek Damas, sophomore in mechanical engineering, said. It probably got the people driving by wondering what we were working for and thinking about womenis abuse? Even though it was a small step to bringing sexual assault to an end, the men looked forward to making this a tradition. They knew they were headed in the right direction. It gave me a sense of pride to know that I was part of a movement to give women more respect and a better quality of lifef Frasier said. l 333- Sorority and iraierniry members gather io participate in mud volleyball to raise money for Alzheimers research.

Each night during the week, the ladies of the house continued a long-running in-house tradition of taking turns making dinner for the 44 hungry residents. If you cooked at the Derby Dining Center, you would have the same recipes as we do heref' Megan Frey, sophomore in kinesiology, said. 1'We come in about an hour and a half before dinner is served and get everything cooked and ready. Two other residents, Rebecca Bohling, sophomore in horticulture, and Leah Rutledge, sophomore in horticulture, accompanied Frey to make up the kitchen crew for each Tuesday dinner during the fall semester. Taking instructions from a big binder of planned meals, the cooks went through each of the steps that had been mapped out by the houseis personal student dietitian. Myjob consists of a lot of ordering, making production sheets and figuring out quantities of foodf, lulie Thompson, student dietitian and intern for the smurthwaite university, said. I am mostly on my own planning for Smurthwaite, but I do keep communication open with the student dietitians at the dining centers. Most of the women who were assigned kitchen duties had experience with cooking beforehand, so they were not completely unprepared for the job. However, they admitted that learning to cook for the masses was challenging. Mistakes do happen, which cause us to learn how to be improv chefs, Rutledge said. If something messes up, we can try and fix it, or look online to find answers. Sometimes the mess-ups turn out to be our best creationsf, However, the meals were prepared correctly more often than not and each of the residents developed their own favorite dish. Among the list of foods were vegetarian lasagna and Kansas Dirtf' a well-known dessert consisting of Oreos and whipped cream. Desserts are not only the best part of the meal to eat, but they are always a great part of cooking, Bohling said. The tradition of students cooking for students in the Smurthwaite Scholarship House has not only allowed ladies to experiment and learn about cooking, but also helped them grow and become self- proclaimed creative chefs. l 339- fx 'sl 1 932 Y-Vf X 9 my pcuplc O 9 I 'gg' 5 if Silvervvings porocltutist drops onto the field at Bill Snyder Family Stadium on tlie evening Omtursdoy, October 7th os on exciting opener for the football gome verses Nebraska. .lenniler Heelce 3412 strong comelex u little eeting new people, making new friends and being comfortable around others wasnit always easy. To help overcome these issues, Lindsay DiPietro, residence life coordinator at the Strong Complex, created the Stronger Games for residents of Boyd, Putnam and Van Zile. The first six weeks are the most important for a first-year studentf' DiPietro said. I realized we need to be providing something for our first-year students to get involved in. The Stronger Games was named after iiThe Hunger Gamesi' by Suzanne Collins and used asa reference to the Strong Complex. The book was chosen for the university's reading program. Students participated in various activities for the chance to win prizes while getting to know others around them. ulf there were a few people who were excited enough about Stronger Games, they were going to knock door to door, DiPietro said. i'People are going to get excited, they're going to want to tell people to show up and they're going to want to be the floor with the highest number of people there. It happened naturally. Each week a new activity was planned and coordinated by the resident assistants fRAsJ. The first week's event was a photo scavenger hunt where each floor took pictures around campus of specific items on the list they were given. by Eric Hostetler competition The scavenger hunt was probably the best week since our floor wonfi Ermias Dereje, freshman in business administration, said. 'KI also got to know the campus a lot betterf' Students were given one ticket for showing up to the event, one ticket for wearing the floor color and additional tickets for winning the events. The tickets were then put into a box for a raffle on the final week for prizes, including a S100 shopping spree to Wal- Mart. The grand prize winner was Ashley Larsen, freshman in English. alt was funny because I already won a bakery coupon, so I wasnit expecting the major winf' Larsen said. 'iBefore it happened, I was hoping one of my floor mates would get it. I didnit want it for myself. Students enjoyed the activities and were happy to find something to do on a Tuesday night. DiPietro stressed one major factor during the entire six weeks: floor community. One of the hardest parts of an RAs job is getting people connected and out of their rooms, DiPietro said. 'iThe people that showed up to Stronger Games wanted to get to know more people, be with people on their floor and contribute themselves. Weive noticed this floor community has happened quicker. People are more engaged with each other. Itis made a difference in how receptive students are in getting to know one another. joshuo Boinhort freshmen in open option, tills out 0 icxftle ticket.

However, several individuals spent Halloween morning carrying on tradition and raising money for charity. Tau Kappa Epsilon CTKEJ celebrated its 40th annual powder-puff football tournament. 'iIt's our big philanthropy, William Crooks, junior in construction science and management and president of TKE, said. iiltis what we've always done. Itis traditionf' TKE was required to find businesses to sponsor the tournament with donations as well as recruit sororities to participate in the powder-puff tournament. Nine businesses donated to the event and five sororities participated. This year we rewarded each sorority by giving 10 free T-shirts to each teamf, Kevin Yoder, sophomore in accounting and chair of the powder-puff tournament, said. 'iWe did that because last year we didn't do a very good job with the event. An additional fundraiser created for the event was the Teke Giveaway, a drawing for the chance to win a S75 gift certificate to Varneyis Bookstore ora S50 gift certificate to Kite's Bar and Grill. A S5 donation was requested for each chance to win. uThe 'leke Giveaway was put together by some of the guys on our alumni boardf, Crooks said. i'They came up with the fundraiser. The tournament raised S600 in total funds. The proceeds went to the Alzheimers Foundation, TKE's national charity, and St. ludeis Research Hospital. The decision to give proceeds to St. Iude's was made after a member of TKE was diagnosed with brain cancer the previous year. He needed major brain surgery and St. Iudeis assisted him in the costs. Were thankful for them, for him being in a good state today, Yoder said. UWC decided to support them toofi The winners ofthe tournament were members from Kappa Delta after defeating Kappa Alpha Theta in overtime. They received a trophy as the winning prize. Everyone showed great sportsmanship, Madison Martley, sophomore in secondary education, said. uThey were all there just to have fun. Yoder explained the tournament had not been as successful in previous years due to a lack of preparation. The men were dedicated to a recovery process for the tournament. lt was not as successful as it could have been, but it was definitely a step up from previous years, Yoder said. l was glad for our turnoutfi College students were swamped with all kinds of activities and responsibilities. From classes, to part-time jobs, to clubs and Greek life, it was hard to manage much else. However, one Theta Xi member managed to do all this and run his own business. Since he was I6 years old, Jacob Mueller, sophomore in journalism and mass communications, owned and operated his own disc jockey business alongside his brother Kris Mueller, junior in construction science and management. The opportunity to start a business together arose when a family friend offered to sell them an old DI equipment setup. kilt started out very primitive with our equipmentf, Iacob said. alt was really old stuff. Everything was from back in the 705. lt was interesting looking, and not the best. We got it paid offwithin a year. Then we started making money off of it. From then, everythingls just been up and up and upfl The brothers' business, Light Brothers Mobile DI Service, started in 2004 and catered to high school dances, weddings and other parties. The business provided entertainment for more than 20 dances each year, and the brothers said they strived to make each event as enjoyable for the customer as possible. uEvery event is different, Jacob said. uWe're not a pizza parlor DI service. Wie donyt have a small, medium and large with additional charges for toppings. We have a basic setup that we can customize to any event to accommodate to how much lthe customerl is wanting, how many people are going to be there, and how much money lthe customerl has in the budget. We really try to work with people's budgets to make sure we give them a good dealf, Aside from running the business, Iacob also found time to hold a leadership position in Theta Xi fraternity, take 16 credit hours of by Clzeyamzc Alvari classes and work for the K-State TV statio ulacob does a good job balancing both l work and his involvement in Theta Xi. I wi could tell you more about how he balances time because I could use some tips from hi Benjamin Mense, senior in accounting and Theta Xi chapter president, said. i'Although his work keeps him extremely busy on mos weekends, there has never been a time wl Iacob wasnyt helping out around the hou with all of our projects and anything else that he can help withf, Because the Mueller brothers spent so much time together managing a successful business, their relationship grew closer. lThe businessl is kind of our child. N started it from nothing, and welve built i up over the past six years. Itys something that weive made that we can be proud of Kris said. L'Without the business, l would be able to spend nearly as much time witl him. The fact that we get to spend so mu e together doing something that we both by is priceless. Xfter college, Iacob hoped to obtain a :er in the entertainment industry. He said vould be happy with a career in music, io or television. 'I love entertaining and making sure that 'yone has a good timef' Iacob said. i'I'd ier everyone else have a good time than Ihave a good time. lim not very selfish rn it comes to stuff like that. Iacob found that owning a business had its perks. He said the most rewarding aspects were that it looks great on a resume, was something he can call his own and he got upaid to partyf' l just love my job, Iacob said. ultls so cool because you may hear about a dance and say it sounds fun, and it is fun if you attended. But how about being the party? Everyone goes to the party, but it's just a whole other experience when you are the partyfl ,locob Mueller sophomore JF ioutnolssn lticob Mueller soprmvi te lufiob Maizllet and his .ii ioutnolisrn ohd 'iiuss lm other Kris look :ivfei fmt six' .,i s :ui se ' eau, pw wyl le lllf: SOL f,1ttLL.,ttfJ'VZEi'lilliJ lflkwyldllrg l' thll iff lI llfjllyl ltircl DGity Mueller fy DI lhe btcwthiwis ilG'tei,l lleii ts 5 fees my tw- if ess ' Qifffl li1tt 'TiG'-lit' 'wwe' QQ :viii i c 1 2, iliinces eu: li yeor fi' pofties over i ice l lwe- but +1- gUlTfX.'J'y' lf'vI?'9 el liiive sonit?t'iiriQti,t:1ik lwiother dvi-s note til tle iil'C3.,i' Ku- i133 l' fi-.fi .:.

After forgetting a staff member in Manhattan while we went to Kansas City for retreat I thought I was for sure jinxed for the next nine months - wrong again. The experiences I went through not only made me a stronger more confident person, but also a more understanding and patient leader. I hired my staff knowing they would never disappoint me, and besides one or two little mishaps, I was finally right. I wanted to make big changes this year with how we marketed the book, and I wanted it to start with the marketing team They each brought something different to the table. Katie had the veteran experience to give advice about the previous year, Dani had the ability to persevere until the 426 job was complete, no questions asked, and Natalie helped design and set the bar for future RP marketing. The members of the staff, which were constantly changing, kept me sane when I thought I would lose it and reminded me how talented they were through their work. Whether it was Kelsey and her ability to understand and blow my mind with her creations on InDesign, or Nicole and her stories that were written with meaning behind each word and long enough to be published as a novel, these people were talented. When issues came up with photography, I knew I could count on my photo editor, Erin, to be there and usually say, 'cshit happensfl The sense of humor everybody had usually left me with a stomachache from laughing so hard. Brent's whereabouts were always mysterious but he still managed to prank phone call every person plmlu by Anthony Dratlz ' rzfw t pictured- Brent Gipsorz on staff and sign Ellie up for endless supplies of cutlery knives and feminine hygiene products. Who could forget Eric's sweet personality when he would give Ellie hug when she returned from winter break. I knew I could always go to Ellie anytime I needed to know where a comma or an apostrophe went and she knew the answe- without skipping a beat. Eric impressed me with his resemblence to Napolean Dynamite and his ability to have such lon stories we had no choice but to make the into two spreads. Last, but definitely not least, Cheyanr She was the official theme of the weekn girl and loved footy pajamas and double dates. While she got frustrated at times with the work-load, she ended up having incredible stories that people wil undoubtedly always remember, The day hired her I knew she would end up being Ii- -..- -v - P' i ,Q 'M fmvfii wfh rw may f c 5 w 5 W J. I S- , ln Organizations Editor- Eric Hostetler ly friend. After deadline one, Stephanie and I lought we did something wrong because ot only did we send in 60 pages, almost vice the amount we were supposed to, but fe were done two weeks earlier than our leadline. I could not have gotten through tis year without her. We knew we would 'eate this incredible yearbook and with her isign skills and my writing, we thought we ere unstoppable. VVhile we incurred bumps ong the way we stayed strong and supported .ch other when the other felt like giving up. past editor once told me that hiring your sistant editor was one of the most important decisions you would make. It was never a decision for me. I never wanted an assistant, I wanted a friend that could have just as strong a say in the book as me, and I knew Stephanie was the person for that job. Absolutely none of this could have been possible without the trust, commitment and often times, relaxed personality of our adviser, Kelly Furnas. He gave us the freedom to try new ideas with this yearbook and advised, but never dictated, what we did. His intelligence and love for the publication does not go unnoticed. He chose to ignore inappropriate jokes and stories he heard and was a good sport when Ellie bullied him. He treated us with the respect he thought we deserved and we even caught him laughing so hard at retreat he had to turn his head to hide it. I have nothing but the most amazing memories inside Kedzie 101.1 could have listed all the inside jokes we had together, and the number of times Eric told us we were going to hell, but I will leave those inside Kedzie as well. I appreciate the times you took stories, even though you didnit want to, and the times you worked the booth in the union. When I first accepted the position as your editor I wanted everyone to know this was not my book, this was our book, and I would not change one thing about it. 427- -428 photo taff: Nathaniel LaRue Matt Binter Iennifer Heeke Lisle Alderton Rebecca Tincher Carlos Salzaar Iohnathan Knight Anthony Drath Chelsy Lueth Logan M.
