EVENING BREAK Dinner educates students about Muslim holiday, culture
Dillon Fairchild Walking into the International Student Center on Friday, I knew I was about to experience something totally new and unique. Brochures featuring Arabic writings lie in a pile by the door. Tables were filled with dates and water, the traditional Muslim food for breaking fast. An atmosphere of celebration permeated the room. This was a celebration of Ramadhan, the Islamic holy month. The celebration’s organizers did not waste any time making visitors feel welcome. As I looked about, I was greeted by one of the event’s main organizers, Abdulrahman Alkhiary, freshman in finance and international relations. Or, as his friends call him, Wageeh. Alkhiary led me to a table where I could be seated and then the festival kicked into full swing. Attending this year’s Ramadhan festival was the first time that I had ever taken part in a traditional
Muslim celebration. I was not familiar with the holiday. However, this festival was set up expressly to help people like me to learn. In Muslim teaching, Ramadhan is a celebration of the time in which the first verses of the Qur’an were revealed. I also learned that the reason Muslims fast on Ramadhan is to help instill discipline into their life, as well as to help them take their focus off of worldly things. This fasting also represents the suffering of the poor and hungry who do not have anything to eat. By experiencing a taste of that hardship, people are then able to more easily empathize with those in poverty and are more motivated to contribute to charitable efforts. By educating the audience on the nature of Ramadhan, the festival maintained an air of inclusion that made it possible for everyone in attendance to enjoy themselves no matter their background. The evening began with a sung prayer, celebrating Ramadhan and praying for the discipline that it requires. As soon as that ended, we were treated to a Powerpoint presentation about the tenants of Ramadhan and Islam on the whole and the opportunity to speak with some of Manhattan’s Muslim leaders about their faith. Next, after another prayer, people were encouraged to eat a few dates in order to symboli-
cally and physically end the daily fasting that accompanies Ramadhan. Finally, a delicious buffet was set out and everyone was treated to a great dinner of both traditional foods as well as Western cuisine. This year marks the first time that a Ramadhan festival at K-state and the turnout was great. Not only did almost a hundred people show up in order to join in the celebrations, but, according to Alkhiary, “When you look out over the crowd, 90 percent of the people are K-Staters or KState alumni.” The event was able to maintain an atmosphere of traditional reverence for Kansas State’s Muslim community while also educating those who had little previous experience with Ramadhan or its tenants. The Ramadhan festival also drew many community supporters, including State Representative Sydney Carlin. Carlin has been a long time proponent of the Muslim presence in Manhattan and during her time as a city commissioner helped to begin construction on Manhattan’s mosque. She said she enjoyed how K-State was able to provide an inclusive atmosphere that was able to bring together people of all faiths and cultures in order to share a piece of Muslim culture. It is, she said, “important to be accepting and open to all ideas and people”, adding that this festival’s coordinators were “very

The breaking of the fast is done by the symbolic eating of dates and drinking of water. The fast was broke at 8:07 p.m. on Friday. accepting and very friendly as well.” However, Ramadhan is not only for adults. Although children are exempt from the traditional fasting until their teens, many choose to begin early in order to essentially “practice” for when their fasting becomes obligatory. One such case is that of 8-year old Saifelelden. Originally from Egypt, this year Saifelelden fasted for eight days, from dawn to dusk. When I asked him how he was enjoying the festival, he smiled. “It is a good day,” he declared. This year’s Ramadhan festival marks what will hopefully be
the beginning of a long standing tradition at K-State. By providing an atmosphere of celebration, the festival was a great way to not only celebrate the Holy Month, but an outstanding way for people who may not be experienced in Muslim culture to come learn and experience it for themselves. I encourage K-Staters to keep an eye out for next year’s Ramadhan festival, because this is one event you are not going to want to miss. Dillon Fairchild is a sophomore in biochemistry pre-med.

‘Trouble with Water’ attracts Airline celebrates two years at airport large numbers of students Brennan Walter staff reporter
Karen Ingram coverage editor Coffman Commons was filled with students and faculty alike at dusk on Sunday night. Some on blankets, some in lawn chairs, but many stayed true to the name of the event and just sprawled out on the lawn to watch the documentary “Trouble the Water,” the first movie of this year’s Movies on the Grass series. “The turnout was astounding,” said Donna Schenck-Hamlin, instructor at Hale Library and one of the organizers of the event. Two different volunteers counted the crowd and reported approximately 400 people, which far exceeded their expectations, SchenckHamlin said. The documentary is constructed primarily of raw footage from a camcorder owned by Kimberly Rivers, a woman living in a poor black neighborhood in New Orleans, just a couple of blocks from the levees, during the Hurricane Katrina disaster of 2005. The footage follows Rivers and her family, who are stranded in New Orleans because they do not have a car to evacuate in, and the trials they face during and after the storm. They take shelter in the attic as their house floods, are ignored and neglected by rescuers and discover dead bodies in their neighborhood weeks later. River’s grandmother dies when she is abandoned by rescuers in a hospital and her brother, who is in jail for a misdemeanor charge, is forced to fend for himself when guards abandon the prisoners in the flooded jail without food. Megan Roberts, freshman in business management, said the documentary was interesting and eye-opening. She said she
remembered Katrina well because her grandparents were living in Florida and she worried about them. Stephen Kiefer, director of the university honors program and professor in psychology, was in New Orleans at the time because his son was about to begin classes at Tulane University. He and his family left the Saturday before the storm hit in August and his son was not able to attend school until January 2006. In spite of the months that had passed, Kiefer said the city was still full of debris and much of it was still without electricity. Houses near the university still bore spray paint proclaiming the number of dead found inside. “My wife was not happy leaving our son there,” Kiefer said. Movies on the Grass continues on Sunday, September 11 with the film “Houston, We Have A Problem,” a documentary about Texas oil businessmen.travelling and more time with my family and friends over breaks.” “For the most part, travellers have been very happy with the service,” VanKuren said. “Once the second Chicago flight starts, passengers should have more flexibility with regard to times.” The Manhattan terminal, built in 1997, is already filled to capacity during mostterminal while Manhattan today has just 12,500 sq. ft. of that space, which sometimes makes for a crowded terminal when two 50-seat jets are on the ground. VanKuren, the Manhattan Airport Advisory Board and the Manhattan City Commission will meet Sept. 13 to discuss ways to almost triple the size of the existing terminal to allow for two separate boarding gates, more check-in areas and enclosed-jetway boarding.
Passengers on the 5:35 p.m. flight to Dallas from the Manhattan Regional Airport were treated to cake and free drinks as they prepared for their flight Thursday. The airport celebrated its two-year anniversary of American Eagle jet service to Dallas. American Eagle began flights to the airport in 2009 as part of Manhattan’s bid to secure the National Bio-Agro Defense Facility (NBAF), a large federal bio science lab. The state offered the airport $2 million in revenue guarantees for direct airline service to a major hub from Manhattan to improve it’s national connectivity, and American Eagle took the offer. American Eagle initially offered just two daily flights to Dallas, but that quickly jumped to three in April of 2010 as more people used the airport. The airline added a flight to Chicago in November of last year, and will add a second daily Chicago flight in November. Now, even without the expected large numbers of travellers NBAF will bring, the airport is breaking records each year in annual boardings. “In July of 2009, before the American Eagle service, just 1,090 travellers used the airport,” Airport Director Peter VanKuren said. “In July of this year, we served close to 4,600 travellers, well over a 400% increase in annual boardings.” Manhattan was served by regional carrier Great Lakes Airlines
before the American Eagle jet service with flights to Kansas City and Denver under a federal subsidy program for rural airports. The American Eagle service no longer attracts that subsidy. While the airport’’s passenger numbers have grown tremendously over the last two years, VanKuren expects those numbers to continue to grow. In 2010, Manhattan retained just 19 percent of traffic from it’s catchment area, with the other 81 percent going to other airports, especially Kansas City.
“It’s a lot closer and easier than Kansas City.” Kelsie Johnson freshman in business “As we continue to add more seats, flights and perhaps another market like Denver, we can hopefully retain more passengers that would fly through Manhattan instead,” VanKuren said. Chicago has also boosted retention, and those numbers were not included in the 2010 statistic. VanKuren noted he had talked with United Airlines, which maintains a hub at Denver, to potentially serve Manhattan sometime in the future. Regardless, the current service continues to receive high marks from travellers, who appreciate the convenience of the small airport and free parking. “Manhattan is convenient to fly
in and out of,” Manhattan passenger Terry Leone said. “When you factor in gas and parking (in Kansas City) it almost pays to fly from Manhattan.” Kelsie Johnson, a freshman in business, also appreciates the convenience of the airport and it’s direct flight to her hometown, Dallas. “Its a lot closer and easier than Kansas City and the flight is shorter,” Johnson said. “Its nice that I can spend less time travelling and more time with my family and friends over breaks.” “For the most part, travellers have been very happy with the service,” VanKuren said. “Once the second Chicago flight starts, passengers should have more flexibility with regard to times.” The Manhattan terminal, built in 1997, is already filled to capacity during most flights and shows many signs of wear and tear thanks to the thousands of new local fliers using the facility each month. For the amount of use it gets, the Federal Aviation Administration, or FAA, recommends a 38,000 square-foot terminal while Manhattan today has just 12,500 sq. ft. of that space, which sometimes makes for a crowded terminal when two 50-seat jets are on the ground. VanKuren, the Manhattan Airport Advisory Board and the Manhattan City Commission will meet Sept. 13 to discuss ways to almost triple the size of the existing terminal to allow for two separate boarding gates, more check-in areas and enclosed-jetway boarding.

Farmer’s market offers fresh produce, local food movement grows Caroline Sweeney managing editor The Manhattan Downtown Farmer’s Market was busy on Saturday morning. The parking lot on the corner of 5th Street and Humboldt Street was full of vendors, families and musicians. Christie Cady, the market manager said that there are between 50 to 60 vendors that are a part of the Manhattan Farmers Market. “We’ve completely run out of space,” Cady said. On average, each weekend there are between 35 to 40 vendors. Although Cady has only been with the market since June, she is not new to the food scene in Manhattan. As a former fraternity cook and owner of the 4th Street Café, Cady became concerned about getting healthy, simple food to people. In the past few years, there has been emergence of a culture that promotes the local and sustainable food movements. The Manhattan Farmer’s Market vendors have everything from crafts, produce, meat and baked goods. Aubrey Wellington is the owner of Ambrosia, a baked goods vendor. “I think this is my tenth time at the market,” Wellington said. Wellington, who just graduated from high school, said she wants to go to the French Culinary Institute and participate in the Classic Pastry Arts program. Wellington’s favorite cupcake is the strawberry and lavender cupcake. “It’s definitely my favorite,” Wellington said. “It’s not super sweet and the frosting kind of tastes like strawberry ice cream.” She also sells a pear and ginger cupcake along with a chocolate and orange cupcake. Among the many produce and food vendors there were flower, kettle corn and body product vendors. Christy O’Neal is the owner of Christy Farms and she has a booth at the market. “The soaps I make the more traditional way,” O’Neal said. “I
start with your fats, oils and lye, then I let it cure for six to eight weeks before I sell it.” At the time of the market, O’Neal had sunflower oil, olive oil and milk soaps for sale. She usually makes her soaps during the winter because it is dryer and the curing process goes faster. O’Neal makes her soaps in small batches as needed. There are no preservatives in the soap but to O’Neal that is a good thing. The rosemary oil and vitamin E oil O’Neal uses are good for your skin and can act as natural preservative. Along with the vendors and musicians, Noah Reagan, head chef and owner of della Voce, gave a cooking demonstration.
“Natural and local are very vague terms and people will manipulate them for whatever they want them to be.” Noah Reagan owner of della voce Reagan, accompanied by his wife Olivia, prepared caprese salad, sausage and peppers and a grilled flatbread pizza. After graduating from K-State with a degree in hotel and restaurant management, Reagan found unique opportunities to learn. He moved to Turks and Caicos where his education really started. “The third day I was there, my boss put a 450 pound tuna up on a shelf and said ‘okay, we’re going to make steaks,’” Reagan said. After spending time in Boston, Costa Rica, Paris and Houston, Reagan started scouting out places in Manhattan for restaurant concepts. Reagan opened della Voce on Poyntz in October 2007. As a local chef, Reagan has first hand knowledge of trying to integrate local food into his menu. “I think it is interesting that… so much of our food in Kansas is exported out,” Reagan said. “Having some food being mico produced is really great.”
Farmers markets offer communities members the chance to support local farmers. According to the Sustainable Table website, sustainabletable.org, “One easy way to start buying local is to choose one product to focus on. Vegetables are often a good place to start. Produce also offers a good introduction to eating seasonally—an excellent way to learn about local agriculture.” Currently, the Manhattan Farmer’s Market is preparing for the switch from Summer to Fall produce. “Things like tomatoes, their season is ending. The Fall crop (could be) lettuce, salad mixes. Maybe radish, carrots and beets. Any kind of melon,” Cady said. Reagan is looking forward to the fall special of Osso Bucco at della Voce. Reagan makes a very limited amount each night. They will start serving the dish next week. Along with the specialty dish, Reagan is excited about, pumpkin soup, butternut squash ravioli, short ribs and duck confit. People who value local as their primary food criterion are sometimes referred to as locavores. During the San Francisco Bay Area for World Environment Day 2005, Jessica Prentice coined the term to “describe and promote the practice of eating a diet consisting food harvested from within an area most commonly bound by a 100 mile radius,” according to Sustainable Table. Reagan has a similar view on how local is defined. “I would define ‘local’ as within three or four counties,” Reagan said. “One of the crazy things about local food is there is no definition for it. Natural and local are very vague terms and people will manipulate them for whatever they want them to be.” Sustainable Table supports what Reagan is saying, stating “local is shorthand for an idea that doesn’t have a firm definition.” The Wichita - Flint Hills chapter of Slow Food USA website states, “(it) wants to help Southeastern Kansas rediscover our love of local food, quality ingredients and community with the creation and consumption of food.”

Reagan says that two factions are forming in the professional world concerning slow, local and sustainable food. One side of the balance says that food has got to be clean because it is feeding the masses. The other side says that food should be a pure as it possibly can be. “I think as we move forward, those two are starting to come together,” Reagan said. When it comes to produce for della Voce, Reagan does try to shop local if he can. In the cooking demonstration Reagan used mozzerella, basil, sausage, peppers, and honey from the market. Part of the issue with having food from local growers is the challenge of consistency and quantity Reagan said. “I’m very aware of my obligations to the public,” Reagan said. “I’m very aware of my obligations to the state and my health license.” Reagan said that if he orders a box of tomatoes from a local grower, he understands that he may only be able to use 65 percent of it. “When you can get the quantity you need and everything looks good, then I think it’s okay to use some of it,” Reagan said. Reagan and Cady had advice for families and students who want to start using more local food in their daily cooking. Cady wanted to remind those new to the local food scene to Lauren Gocken | Collegian learn what is seasonal.

DILEMMA
Non-cooperation decisions abound, reoccur in everyday life
Brian Hampel The world would be a better place if we all cooperated, and yet we often don’t. In game theory, a branch of mathematics concerned with strategic decisions in multiplayer scenarios, there is a concept that models non-cooperation and explains why rational people might not cooperate with each other, even if it is in their best interests to do so. This model is called the prisoner’s dilemma. Imagine that two partner bank robbers have been captured by the police, who have insufficient evidence to convict either partner. They are being interrogated separately, with no knowledge of what the other is doing. If one defects and testifies against the other, he will go free while the other serves 10 years in prison. If both defect, they get five years apiece. If neither suspect defects, they get a year each for carrying unlicensed guns. When they decide whether or not to defect, the suspects must each consider the other’s decision, and they each come to this conclusion: no matter what my partner does, I can reduce my own sentence by defecting. This is a perfectly rational decision, but it yields an irrational result. Both partners defect and are sentenced to five years in prison, but they could have gotten just one year each by cooperating.
This situation involving rational self-interest producing irrational results isn’t limited to hypothetical prisoners and police interrogations. You can see the model of the prisoner’s dilemma pop up anywhere in real life if you know what to look for. For example, the prisoner’s dilemma is responsible for the recent trend of loud TV commercials. Any one advertiser can decide that no matter what other commercials do, their own commercial will only be more noticeable with louder volume. The result is that lots of advertisers pump out loud commercials, and we, the viewers, become better and better at tuning them out, or mute commercials altogether. The advertisers could all improve their marketing if they would tone their commercials down a bit, but because they compete instead of cooperating, everyone loses, viewers and advertisers alike. Loud commercials no longer stand out, and the viewers hate them or ignore them. Students taking tests with curves are also subjected to the dilemma. Every student would be a little better off if they all decided not to score too high and thus make the curve a little friendlier; but to any individual student, the best strategy is to do as well as possible on the test, regardless of the curve. You don’t know whether or not everyone else is cooperating, but in either case, you want as many points as you can score. The end result? The students who do well and score high ruin the curve for everyone else. (Of course, tests are there to measure your

knowledge and make you learn the material as much as to affect your grade, so cooperating on a curve would have little point to begin with, but it’s still an interesting example.) A bizarre dilemma occurred last month when Congress was arguing over the debt ceiling, where both sides defecting would have been the most disastrous consequence for everyone involved. A compromise of tax revenues and spending cuts would have been the mature, rational thing to do, but our elected representa-
tives would have none of that. Instead, it became a race to defect and refuse to compromise, because the first side to defect would have a great deal of bargaining power throughout the ensuing negotiations, and the other side would be unable to defect in retaliation for fear of letting the economy fall into ruin. By quickly becoming stubbornly uncompromising, the Republicans in Congress essentially invoked the dark side of a prisoner’s dilemma and degraded the quality of our
national politics another notch. Of course, there are countless more examples of prisoner’s dilemmas, like nuclear arms races, corporate advertising budgets, OPEC price controls, athletes doping and using steroids and even women wearing makeup. So why does the dilemma seem to play out so often? Why do we shoot ourselves in the foot instead of cooperating with others? I think the basic reason is that we never trust others to cooperate. We know
Adoption rates steady, opens doors for many
Jillian Aramowicz In 2006, a trend that had remained generally stable for several years showed a sudden spike, it marked the first year in nearly a decade where unplanned pregnancies amongst teenage girls rose, as well as the rates of abortions, according to Sharon Jayson in the Jan. 26, 2010, USA Today article “Teen Pregnancy, Abortion Rates Rise.” The issue of anti-abortion versus pro-abortion rights has been one that I speak of very carefully, because when dealing with the social and moral connotations associated with something as tangible as a human life, there are always more issues than just what lie on the surface. It is my opinion that constitutionally, abortion can’t possibly be made illegal, nor should it, because there are circumstances where difficult decisions about the health and safety of the mother and the fetus need to be made. The answer is not always to carry the fetus to term. However, my biggest problem with abortion is not that it exists or that is practiced. What really bothers me about being radically pro-choice is that I feel abortion should only be an option if the situation is extremely serious. Unplanned pregnancies with a boyfriend, not feeling prepared to be a mother, or simply not wanting to have a child are not adequate reasons for aborting a fetus. This is why I believe that more young women who are experiencing a pregnancy that is unexpected or unwanted should use the route of adoption rather than abortion. My basis on this is largely personal, since I was born to unwed 17-year-old high school students. My birth mother had already experienced one unplanned pregnancy as a teenager and I was the second. Feeling unprepared for raising a child, she put me up for adoption, where my parents, who were unable to have children due to medical reasons, adopted me shortly after I was born. They never fail to bring up this
story at any sort of birthday or family celebration, which obviously, is extremely repetitive and embarrassing after 21 years of hearing it. But thinking about my situation and my family’s situation is what sparked my opinions on this column, because my parents were overwhelmingly excited to learn they could still have a baby even though they couldn’t conceive. My birth mother had the opportunity to turn something negative that happened in her life into something that made someone else’s life better. In fact, the adoption rate has remained pretty steady for several years. In 2000 and 2001, approximately 127,000 children were adopted in the United States, according to the Child Welfare Information Gateway at childwelfare. gov. Additionally, the United States Department of Health and Human Services reported that as of 2007, 30 percent of Americans had or were considering adopting a child. In 2002, 2.6 million women were taking steps to go through with adoption and 23.2 percent of them completed the process, according to the same source. The fact is, there are people in society who really do want a child and can’t have one and there are also people who really do not want a child and are stuck carrying one. Some critics of adoption argue the point that if it’s your mistake, it should also be a lesson and be your responsibility. I have had friends who think and feel that adoption is just another easy out to get rid of your baby. On more than one occasion I have heard people use the reasoning that if you are adult enough to lay down and make the baby, then you are adult enough to accept responsibility and raise it. Here is what I think about that: sex is easy, parenting is not. Just because you figured out the recipe doesn’t mean you’re going to going to be able to produce a final, successful product.
People also ask me all the time, did you feel abandoned since your birth mother gave you away? Absolutely not. Being socially responsible and giving up your child when you aren’t ready to be a mother is showing you want a better life for your baby, not that you’re abandoning the child. I have met wonderful young mothers who kept their children after unplanned pregnancies and have done an amazing job standing in the face of adversity and raising beautiful families. I
never want to diminish the young women who have done that. But I also want to promote the idea that even in a compromising situation, there are options like adoption that can turn a sudden mistake into a blessing for everyone involved.

that we’re good, rational people, but when others play, it’s easy and safe to assume the worst about them. If we learned to beat the prisoner’s dilemma and work toward logical outcomes, I have no doubt that society as a whole would benefit. But to do that, we would have to learn to see each other as collaborators instead of competitors. Perhaps that’s just not in our mindset. Brian Hampel is a junior in architecture.

TO THE POINT
Shop local markets To the point is an editorial selected and debated by the editorial board and written after a majority opinion is formed. This is the Collegian’s official opinon. To some people, the idea of local food is just a hippie fad that will come and go like a bad fashion trend (remember gaucho pants, anyone?), but we support the movement fully. Not only is local food fresher, as it generally is not transported hundreds of miles just to arrive at the supermarket, but the movement can often create a close-knit community. The local farmer’s market is a great example of this, as it includes music and art as well as locally grown, raised and baked food. Members of the editorial board that attended described it as “one big party” with friendly people and good food all around. We believe that college students should try to be more involved in our local farmer’s market and should give the idea of local food a chance. This would bring us, as students, closer to the members of the community and will be a good chance for students to buy produce and other healthy foods, rather than the usual junk food they are known to eat. While some things may be more expensive when bought locally, the benefits of doing so may outweigh the small loss of money. Obviously, buying locally keeps money in the community, which we believe is a definite plus. Secondly, local foods tend to have far fewer chemicals in them, making them more natural, and less processed. In addition to the community farmer’s market, the student farm can also be seen selling produce on campus, so if you can’t get yourself out of bed and across town to the local market, support the student farm on your way to or from class. Either way, buying locally is an opportunity we feel many students are missing out on and we encourage everyone to consider checking out these events.

ROWDY BUNCH Purple Pit makes presence known, rewards student attendees Sean Frye Staff Writer The dawn of a new school year brings forth the resurrection of many yearly traditions. One of the most popular athletic traditions for students is the Purple Pit, the student rewards program for K-State volleyball. The Purple Pit is now entering its sixth year, and it has helped provide the Wildcats with one of the most vibrant and noticeable volleyball student sections in the nation. “We have an unbelievable student section,” Wildcats’ head coach Suzie Fritz said. “They’re just awesome. They’re rowdy and get in-
volved with what is happening on the floor.” K-State has long been known for their student’s ability to fill a venue with rowdy fans. The Purple Pit has had a significant impact on spreading that effect from the gridiron and hardwood to the volleyball court at Ahearn Fieldhouse, where the volleyball team plays its home games. “We love playing in Ahearn,” said Fritz. “The Purple Pit makes it an ideal volleyball environment, and that is one where the students are right up on the floor, close to the action where they are able to disrupt our opponents. I remember a game against

Texas where (the Longhorns) were actually affected by their presence.” The Purple Pit is a program designed to reward students with prizes corresponding to how often they attend games. This year, five matches earns a member a free T-shirt, seven matches earns entry into a drawing for a $50 gift card to the K-State Online Store, eight gives students a Powercat Aluminum sport bottle, and 10 earns students an entry into a drawing for a $100 Varney’s gift card. “The students are great,” Fritz said. “Their presence is really felt and the program tries to reward them for that.” For drawing prizes, the number of entries into a drawing correlates to the number of matches a student has attended. Those prizes help motivate the students to keep attending the games as the season progresses. “I definitely like free stuff,” Devan Zwygart, sophomore in chemical engineering, said. “I feel a lot of people go to the games, though, just to support the team and those are the true fans.” Zwygart was a member of the Purple Pit last year. Another aspect that motivates the students is the

Time for safety changes in baseball? Mark Kern Assistant Sports Editor Baseball has always been a great sport because of how involved the fans are during the game. However, with all of the incidents that have happened with the fans this year, is it time for changes to be made? For those of you that do not know, on July 7, Shannon Stone, of Brownwood, Texas, died from injuries he sustained from falling out of the stands trying to catch a ball thrown to him by Texas Rangers All-Star outfielder Josh Hamilton. Then, on Saturday, another Rangers fan fell from the stands. The unidentified 24-year-old was rushed to the hospital and as of Sunday evening, no further information had been released. On Sunday, Royals rookie first baseman Eric Hosmer hit a foul ball into the crowd that hit a woman in the head. She received medical treatment and was taken to a medical room located at the stadium. With all of these incidents, there are people that are starting to voice an opinion saying
that it is time for baseball to make some changes. The question is what can be done to help keep the fans stay safe while still allowing them to enjoy the game that they love.
“I definitely do think that they should have the nets going further.” Warren Spahn Minnesota Twins Outfielder The first idea that is being suggested is to raise the railing in the stands. The minimum railing height is 26 to 36 inches, which was established in 1929 by the International Building Code. When interviewed by ESPN, Robert Solomon, National Fire Protection Association Building Fire Protection and Life Safety division manager, had a couple of explanations as to why this was. He explained that when this code was made, it was intended more for huge symphonies and not necessarily
baseball events. Even though these tragedies have occurred recently, he still believes that the rules are working. “We start to pare back from that and look at the injuries and the fatalities, those are small numbers,” he said. “Now in no way do I want to discount the death of even one person because that is, that’s something that we do want to look at, but there’s something here where that rule has worked.” Another idea is to extend the netting on the lower level of stadiums. Even this idea is having a lot of people argue about it. When asked by the Associated Press what he thought they should do with the netting, Warren Spahn, outfielder for the Minnesota Twins said he thinks they should move the netting. “I definitely do think that they should have nets going further,” Spahn said. He also suggested that all ballparks move the protective net “as far as the dugout.” There are a lot of people that see where Spahn is
coming from and do believe that there needs to be changes. However, Aaron Wakamatsu, who recently graduated from Willamette University College of Law, is not in agreement. “I don’t believe baseball should extend the screen down the foul lines,” Wakamatsu said. He believes that extending the nets “will likely interfere with the game.” With all of these instances happening in baseball, there is more of a debate on what, and if any changes, need to be made. The people that do not want to make these changes believe it will ruin the integrity of the game. Some of these baseball stadiums have been around for a long time, and they believe that changing them would ruin the tradition they represent. Anytime that a tragedy like this happens, it always causes people to rethink the way things are structured and whether or not changes need to be made. This is sure to be a topic that gets discussed once the season is over, and it will be interesting to see what exactly happens.

Tampa Bay cornerback Aqib Talib will not face a suspension for any of the 2011 season for his arrest during this offseason. Though further investigation is taking place regarding the shooting, Buccaneers’ general manager Mark Dominik said Talib will play in the last preseason game if he “can get healthy.”
Brigham Young junior forward Brandon Davies has been reinstated for the 2011 season after serving a season-ending suspension due to a violation of the school’s honor code. After missing the final eight games of the season last year, Davies will return to the team as its top scorer and rebounder.

movement problems and even paralysis, usually from damage at the time of their birth. Jokes referencing his condition continued throughout the hourlong performance. Blue kept the audience laughing every few seconds during the show in which he recognized stereotypes of different religious, cultural and social groups. Blue shared some of his background, informing the audience that he was born in Africa, his wife is Japanese and endearingly referred to his infant daughter as a “ham baby.” The comedian drew material for his jokes from his culturally diverse background while keeping the audience well-engaged and laughing. Austin Robisch, a sophomore in regional and community planning, went to the event for his job with UPC but said, “I would have come even if I didn’t work for UPC. I’ve seen Josh Blue on Comedy Central and he was hilarious.” Robisch enjoyed a particular moment during the show when a girl arrived late and Blue called her out, saying, “I have cerebral palsy, I’m not
“You just witnessed a Christmas miracle!” “I know I look homeless, okay?” “It’s hard to look hard when you’re opening a popsicle.” These are some off-the-wall expressions that were heard from comedian Josh Blue, who performed at the Union Program Council After Hours event on Friday night. UPC workers were busy in the KState Student Union as the crowd was beginning to form more than an hour before the free show was scheduled to begin at 10:30 p.m. Forum Hall was filled to capacity around 590 students and Blue drew such a large audience that there was overflow seating for about 350 watching from a projector screen in the Union Courtyard. Blue, who was voted the Last Comic Standing on the NBC show in 2006, walked onstage sporting a blue polo with a meat grinder on the top left. The act began with jokes addressing his right arm, which is visibly affected by cerebral palsy, a disorder that causes

blind.” While some comedians reuse material in their shows, the material Blue used in his show was fresh. Joseph Shope, Manhattan resident, said he was a fan of Blue’s before the show and that he was surprised and pleased with all of Blue’s new material. After the show, there was a merchandise table set up and free pancakes for the audience provided by Denny’s. Blue stayed for about an hour to talk to fans. Blue said that the audience was spectacular and said it was nice to have his jokes being understood. “It’s refreshing to come to a college that everyone is on the same page,” Blue said. Robisch identified that bringing his disability to light makes Blue stand out from many other comedians. “He is able to laugh at himself and make others laugh too,” Robisch said. Many of the jokes the comedian told during the performance recognized the differences between groups and it seems like he uses humor and his “off the cuff lifestyle” as a tool to break
