Local beekeeper educates, serves the public with skill Darrington Clark staff writer Some people like to read, others enjoy drawing and there are people who excel in sports. While these are all typical hobbies, there’s another activity that requires the concentration of reading, the skill of drawing and the physicality for athletics, and it’s an uncommon pastime: beekeeping. Richard Marteney, our friendly neighborhood beekeeper, absolutely loves it. Marteney volunteers at the K-State Insect Zoo as a beekeeper and has also been instrumental in setting up honeybee hives all throughout Manhattan. How does someone find himself or herself wrist-deep in a beehive to begin with? Marteney described his initial inspiration vividly, with emphasis on the sweet segment. “When I set up my first hive, after a while I got eight gallons of honey out of it,” Marteney said. “I thought to myself, ‘This is sweet!’ and I got some more bees. And then that hive gave me eight more gallons of honey, so I got ten more hives.” Honey is only about being delicious, but has medicinal benefits as well, such as healing cuts and alleviating allergies. Honey is an extremely valuable commodity, so the hives that Marteney sets up are specifically for honeybees. “Beekeeping is all about producing honey,” Marteney said. Beekeeping requires a fair share of specialized education. Marteney has more than enough, proudly sporting dual degrees in beekeeping from state beekeeper’s associations, one earned in Ohio in 1995 and the other in Nebraska in 1996. Both degrees are given and recognized by the Beekeeper’s Association. Experience, however, is the best teacher and Marteney has plenty of that as well, since he’s been keeping up with his hobby for almost

three decades. “I’m very proud of the knowledge I’ve picked up in 29 years of keeping bees,” Marteney said. “There’s no danger at all from beekeeping, unless you’re allergic. Honeybees are not dangerous. They don’t swarm or attack people. They’ll only surround you to figure out of you’re a threat, so if you swat at them, of course they’ll sting you. If you leave them alone, they will leave.” Marteney said more people yearly are killed in car accidents than have ever been killed by bees. Marteney estimates that he’s been stung somewhere between 60 to 70 times in his nearly 30-year span of working with bees, but that just goes with the job. “Sometimes I’ll feel a little faint after some stings, and of course it will swell up, you don’t have to be allergic for that to happen,” Marteney said. “But everything goes away within 24 hours. The fact that people are so afraid of bees amazes me.” Marteney may hold two degrees in beekeeping, but that is not the only thing he knows how to do. Marteney is a K-State alum with a degree in production management. Beginning his college career in 1963, Marteney took off four years to serve in the Air Force after being drafted in the Vietnam War. He finished his degree in 1972. Marteney is now retired from his job of maintenance and production work in labs and is solely dedicated to bees. “It’s hard work moving hives and swarms, you have to sleep during the day, and eat on the run,” Marteney said. “I enjoy speaking to people about bees and beekeeping. People in Manhattan are always so interested and eager to learn. I also speak to kids to encourage them to get into beekeeping when they get older.” Beekeeping can help maintain farms and gardens tremendously, because bees pollenate plants for farmers, so children learning to keep bees can be beneficial to the future. While it seems

Richard Marteney, a former K-Stater and Wamego resident, is a master bee keeper. He handles a bee-made cone, different from most of Marteney’s 40 plus hives on his property that use the Langstroth hive traditionally used by bees keepers to harvest honey. Martney handles the hive barehanded and calmly as not to disrupt the bees.

Human Body class oﬀers challenges, Parking issues spawn headaches for all involved cadaver team unique expereince Summer Phillips staff writer BIOL340: Structure and Function of the Human Body has earned a reputation for being one of the most difficult classes a student can take, but it has also been revered for its worth. Structure and Function of the Human Body is difficult to get accepted into. To be accepted, a prospective student must submit a completed permission form that has been signed by his or her academic advisor and return it to the Biology Undergraduate Advising Office. The student must have a 2.75 GPA or higher and must have previously completed BIOL 198 at K-State with a B average or better. If the student has transfer credits from another introductory biology course, then they must take at least one of the following introductory science courses at K-State and finish with a B or higher: CHM 110 with the CHM 111 lab, CHM 210, PHYS 113, or any biology course that has BIOL 198 as a prerequisite. The class is time consuming and intellectually demanding, comprised of a lecture and a lab portion, and is an 8-credit hour course. Kent Kerby, assistant director of Undergraduate Affairs, recommended students set aside the necessary time that they will need to study and work for this class — about 25 hours per week. “I recommend only 12 hours be taken when enrolling in Human Body,” Kerby said. Ben Harstine, sophomore in public health nutrition, is taking 15 credit hours this semester, including Human Body. He spends approximately 20 hours weekly working on the class, not including class time, Harstine said. He deals with the stress by being organized and prioritizing. “By scheduling, I ensure that the workload is complete, priorities are established and the stress is reduced,” Harstine said. Harstine is a member of the cadaver dissection team, which has

motivated him to eat healthier after an experience with a fatty cadaver. Allison Meyer, junior in chemistry, is taking the class because it is a prerequisite for pre-nursing. The hardest part of being enrolled in the course is time management, Meyer said. She spends about 25-30 hours a week studying for the class. She is also a member of the cadaver dissection team and said the course is one of the most stressful she has ever taken.

“I have tried to stay on top of all of my studying. The second you start to get behind and have to start playing catchup is when it is most stressful.” Allison Meyer junior in chemistry “I have tried to stay on top of all of my studying. The second you start to get behind and have to start playing catch-up is when it is most stressful,” Meyer said. “My favorite part is that every day I learn something new that is completely relatable to my life.” The distribution of majors across the course is varied, but “nearly all pre-health students take the class,” Kerby said. One of the unique aspects of the Human Body course is that it offers a hands-on experience in the form of the cadaver dissection team. Only approximately 5 percent of schools have cadaver sections in this type of course, Kerby said. One of the advantages to this hands-on learning is the knowledge and experience; each human body is just a little bit different. The cadaver dissection team is highly selective. Two honors credits are earned by these students who meet an extra two lab sessions per

week. Upwards of 50 students or more apply for the competitive positions each semester. Around 30 to 35 applicants are selected for one of the three cadaver dissection teams. The class is instructed by Dana Townsend, who also teaches medical students Anatomy and Physiology at the Salina campus for the University of Kansas Medical Center. “Her selection to teach this class was an obvious one. In my opinion, she is the very best instructor I have ever seen,” said Kerby. Townsend said the class is very valuable to the students. Many students are better prepared for graduate and professional schools after taking Human Body, Townsend said. The class average for the past four semesters has been a B, proving that contrary to popular belief, students do well in the class. Students are expected to cope with the stress of the course and are also often asked to learn in ways that may be a lot different than what they are used to, “but, stress is also an obligate component of growth,” Townsend said. The most beneficial skill a student will learn in Human Body is learning to pay careful attention to details and the most beneficial quality earned is confidence and selfsatisfaction in self-improvement, Townsend said. The best feeling in teaching the class, either lecture or lab, is when a student gets a specific look. “I call it the ‘ah ha!’ moment,” Townsend said. “The pieces of part of the puzzle come together and the excitement in their face is because something now makes sense. Those times make a student hungry for more. That look is what I live for as a teacher. Nothing is better.” The class is highly valued by those who have been through the rigorous work, according to Kerby. “This year I was speaking to a Student Senator who had taken the class last spring,” Kerby said. “She commented that she missed the challenge and wondered why more classes weren’t as fulfilling.”

Jakki Thompson staff writer Parking on campus. One of the hardest things for people to utter unless you have specific permits to park in particular areas. It was brought to the attention of many different people on campus that parking is an issue. One of the biggest concerns for people who live off campus and drive to class every day is parking in the parking garage near the K-State Student Union. Students can purchase parking permits to park in the 500 available spaces reserved for students. With around 23,850 students enrolled for the Fall 2011 semester, this leaves limited parking spaces for students

“Mainly, I feel like I paid a lot of money for a parking permit for a parking lot that would be somewhat close to my building. But when I am out for, like, five minutes, I am not guaranteed a spot when I get back, even if it is for that short amount of time.” Conner Ahnen freshman in photography and print making who live off campus. “When the parking garage was built, the Student Governing Association, SGA, asked for a certain allotted number of spots each year,” said Gary Leitnaker, of human resources. “Students are given 500 stalls in the garage with corresponding permits and anyone who has purchased another parking permit for the parking ramp and the 500 spaces in the garage are already filled up, those students will have to pay for hourly parking.” Katelynn Wilms, senior in agriculture business and finance, said parking on campus is difficult for both classes and her job at the Union.

“I don’t like having to pay a lot of money for a permit that doesn’t guarantee me a spot,” Wilms said. The parking spaces fill up by 8:30 a.m. and she said has to pay hourly parking for a spot there if she wants to park in the ramp. Parking in the parking ramp isn’t the only problem with parking on campus. Many students who live in the dorms and have to park in the specific, corresponding parking lots, are not pleased with the parking. “Mainly, I feel like I paid a lot of money for a parking permit for a parking lot that would be somewhat close to my building,” said Conner Ahnen, freshman in photography and printmaking. “But when I am out for, like, five minutes, I am not guaranteed a spot when I get back, even if it is for that short amount of time.” At the Student Senate meeting on Sept. 8, Darwin Abbott, director of parking services, addressed some further concerns students had with parking. He said that campus won’t be expecting any new parking garages for a while, but there is a current goal to expand parking lots. Abbott also addressed the concern of congestion on campus. He said during school hours, when there are a lot of people on campus, congestion is an effect of having so many people on campus. Currently, the Parking Council is working on how to make campus safer, with less congestion. Leitnaker said if anyone has concerns, they should talk to the Parking Council. This council makes all of the decisions about parking including fines, allotted parking spaces and other related issues on campus. Many different types of people are represented on this council; students, faculty and staff are all present and a part of working toward solving the parking concerns. Although many people have expressed negative feelings about parking on campus, there are some benefits, no matter how miniscule they may seem. “At least it’s there,” said Courtney Ahnen, freshman in photography. “When you think about where we have to park, it is a lot closer than most campuses. I know it could be way worse somewhere else.”

Students ﬁnd perks, disadvantages in on and oﬀ-campus jobs Andy Rao staff writer With expenses and inflation on the rise and the economy showing little to no signs of improvement, students around the nation may find it increasingly difficult to pay for burdensome college costs. Although some students have the luxury of full and partial scholarships or grants, many turn to getting a job in to help pay off the loans required to pay for a degree. Working a job in addition to balancing a full-time student schedule, managing activities or organizational commitments and trying to maintain friendships and a social life can be taxing. A job may provide students with much-needed cash, but some students have found that having a job could be counterproductive. Andrew Bernica, sophomore in civil engineering, said there were definite pros and cons to working an off-campus job. He said he worked 20 hours a week at CivicPlus, a company that manages websites for governmental organizations. “I was working pretty regularly, and was making well over minimum wage,” said Bernica. “It was nice to have a job that paid well, but there were things that I gave up as well.” Bernica was forced to quit

time student to have a life and a job at the same time,” Drovetta said. When asked if she would ever consider taking an oncampus job, Drovetta said that she likely would stay offcampus. The pay difference is definitely a factor for some students choosing to work an off-campus job, and according to Drovetta, working at a restaurant and receiving tips or working on a commission-based salary can help increase the amount of money students bring in. Though the cash amount makes a difference for some, Ondracek said that his schedule was the biggest factor in his decision to stay on campus, and that his job allowed him to “prioritize schoolwork over anything else.” “I wanted to find a job that let me take on a flexible schedule and still be able to participate in things on campus,” Ondracek said. Ondracek also said that students like him who have more time constraints can juggle their academics and still earn some cash to manage expenses. Although off-campus jobs may be supplemented with tips and commission, the long hours are something students consider. For those who have busy lives, staying on campus may be the best option to keep a solid grade point average.

Sarah Palmer, sophomore in Business, serves up some dinner for students in the classics line of the Derby Dining Center. shortly after starting, and said that although he enjoyed his job, his schoolwork was often compromised because of long hours at work. “I didn’t feel like I could give justice to both my job and my other academic commitments,” said Bernica. “When it came down to making a decision, I knew that I had to prioritize my schoolwork first.” Students who can manage their time efficiently and only take on as much as their schedules allow have found it much easier to cope with the stress. “Right now I work an average of about five hours a week as a gallery attendant

there are pros to going outside the confines of the university to look for employment. “Working off-campus is actually a nice break from the usual daily schedule,” said Teresa Drovetta, sophomore in biology. Drovetta, who is a runner at AJ’s NY Pizzeria, said her hours are manageable and her experience at her job has definitely been worth her time. Drovetta works 15 to 20 hours a week, but said her work schedule rarely affects her academics. “I definitely have to work on managing my time, but it is definitely possible for a full

Varsity Donuts pleases crowd Dairy Science Club volunteering Emily Henderson staff writer

Varsity Donuts carries a wide variety of donuts including a couple styles of donut holes.

Varsity Donuts ★★★★★

Restaurant review by Kelly Tynan

When Varsity Donuts opened on Sept. 22, the line was out the door. I was expecting to wait in line for a while; however, that wasn’t the case. Workers behind the counter were quick and extremely friendly. The donut prices seemed very reasonable. A “classic” glazed donut is 89 cents, a “JV Donut” $1.39 and a “Varsity Donut” $2.89. A “JV” has toppings like cereal or sprinkles, while a “Varsity Donut” is more elaborate, like the “Maple Bacon” donut. The drinks were also reasonably priced. A 12-oz coffee is $1.29, 20-oz coffee is $1.59 and a 16-oz soft drink

is $1.59, including free refills. I overheard one of the workers tell a customer that the “Maple Bacon” donut was the store’s most popular sell. I was hesitant to try the “Maple Bacon,” because it sounded like a strange combination. But it tasted excellent, and the combination of maple and bacon on a donut all of a sudden didn’t seem so bizarre. The maple was not overwhelming, and the bacon was just enough to notice it. The atmosphere of Varsity Donuts is really cozy and has an 80s vibe. The walls are painted a sunflower yellow with green-accents, and a ton of natural light comes through the big window in the front of the shop. In addition to selling

donuts, Varsity Donuts is renting out bikes. They have two-seated tandem bikes for $8 an hour, or $35 for the whole day. Single bikes are available for $6.50 an hour or $30 for the day. Since Varsity Donuts is renting out bikes, the shop has a bicycle theme. In the front, they have a pink old-school bike in the window that will be used for deliveries close to Aggieville. The light fixtures are one of the best touches in the shop. They are made out of old bike wheel frames, which add a unique style. There were also decorated helmets that added to the bike theme. In the middle of the shop sits a piano that the public is welcome to play. Little kids

The Dairy Science Club gives dairy science majors and nonmajors the opportunity to work with other students and faculty that share an interest in the dairy industry. The club’s purpose is to have fun and learn more about dairy operations and products as well as educating others about the dairy industry and providing leadership opportunities for club members, said Tim Rozell, adviser for the club. The club works on a variety of projects throughout the year which include assisting with parking activities at home football games, volunteering at the State Fair, and attending the Midwest Regional Students Affiliate Division of the American Dairy Science Association. “It is a great group of students who do a phenomenal job of taking on multiple tasks and projects every year, and really stepping up and accomplishing far more than a small club

should ever be capable of accomplishing,” Rozell said. One of the club’s biggest projects is Adopt-A-Cow. During this project, members of the club visit several Manhattan elementary schools and give a short lesson on the dairy industry. “Adopt-A-Cow is to teach third graders about dairy and were milk comes from,” said

After their tour, the class receives updates about their cow, how she is doing and if she has given birth. “The project takes enormous amounts of time, but is loved by club members, teachers and elementary students alike,” Rozell said. The club recruits mostly at campus events such as the College of Agriculture Watermelon Feed held at Weber Hall. Anyone can join the club and it’s free, Dutcher said. There are no membership requirements to join the Dairy Science Club and members of the club are in various departments within the College of Agriculture as well as other colleges. “Once students come to a meeting and realize how much fun the club has and how it can provide many great opportunities for activities that look very good on a resume, it is really not that hard to recruit,” Rozell said.

Wildcats finish second in home tournament, post good scores

Evert Nelson | Collegian

After a disappointing second shot, Gianna Misenhelter, sophomore studying business admin, lobs the ball out of a sand trap on 15 at Colbert Hills. This was during the Marilynn Smith Sunflower Invatational Monday. Kelly Mchugh staff writer It was close-to-perfect golf weather in the Flint Hills Monday morning when KState Women’s Golf teed off at their hosted tournament, the Marilynn Smith Sunflower Invitational. Teams from 12 universities showed up ready to play at the Colbert Hills Golf Course; the 18-hole par-72 golf course is ranked as one of the top courses in the state of Kansas. The Wildcats finished the tournament on Tuesday afternoon with a 36-hole score of 41-over-par at 905; this placed them at second behind the University of ArkansasLittle Rock team, who scored a 27-over-par at 891. “I think second place is good, obviously we’d rather be first; today was a bit of a struggle,” said head coach Kristi Knight. “At the end of the day, I’m really proud of the team, hopefully experience will be our best teacher

here and we can build on this.” Knight said the struggle yesterday was instituted on the par-5 holes. “We’ve got to be better on the par-5’s. We usually do well on them in training,” Knight said. “There will be several difficult par-5’s at the next tournament.” Individually, the Wildcats’ team scores were led by sophomore Gianna Misenhelter. Misenhelter placed second overall and had a score of 2-over-par at 218. “It was fun, we were expecting to play well this week, and I managed to finish second by only one shot,” Misenhelter said. “We did our best, and will only get better.” Misenhelter placed behind tournament winner, Malin Lundberg, a junior at the University of Arkansas-Little Rock, who carded 1-over-par at 217. After Misenhelter, in the team play, was senior Paige Osterloo, who finished in

seventh place overall with a score of 7-over-par to finish. Then, tied for 15th was Whitney Pyle, junior, who scored at 14-over-par. Junior Laura Hildebrandt tied at 27th with 18-over-par and Hanna Roos, junior, carded a 23-over-par. The individual play was led by senior Ami Storey who tied with teammate Pyle for 15th place scoring a 14-over-par at 249. Kristen Dorsey, junior, placed 22nd with 16-over-par, followed by freshman Carly Ragains who placed 33rd with a 19-overpar 235. Finishing in 60th place overall was freshman Olivia Eliasson, who carded a score of 33-over-par at 249 The next tournament for the Wildcats, the Johnie Imes Invitational in Columbia, Mo., will be held on Oct. 3-4. “We’ll take this and move forward, there’s a lot of positives to take from it,” Knight said. “Arkansas-Little Rock was the better team today, but we’ll get after them in Missouri.”

NBA:

NFL: It was the type of game fans expect between rivals on Monday night when the Dallas Cowboys willed themselves past the Washington Redskins in an 18-16 win. Despite playing with a broken rib and never finding the end zone, Cowboys quarterback Tony Romo did everything else that could be asked of him. All of Dallas’ points came from six field goals from kicker Dan Bailey. The Redskins had three field goals of their own, with the only touchdown of the game coming in the third quarter on a one-yard touchdown pass.

MLB: After unsuccessfully securing a contract extension, Chicago White Sox manager Ozzie Guillen walked away from the team. Though Guillen has had plenty of success with the White Sox during his eight-year tenure in Chicago, the past few years have shown a steady decline for the team. As of now, Guillen is speaking with the Florida Marlins, who were recently informed that manager Jack McKeon would

As the NBA lockout pushes on with no end in sight, NBA Players Association president Derek Fisher hopes that both sides can show unity. Fisher hopes that an agreement can be made not only between the two parties, but between each and every member involved. With training camps postponed and 43 preseason games canceled, the upcoming NBA season continues to be postponed. As of now it is projected that the season will be cut in half in order to secure a deal between team owners regarding a hard salary cap.

NCAA Football: Texas A&M is officially a member of the Southeastern Conference. After months of chaos and turmoil within the Big 12 conference, the Aggies finally got what they wanted. Though some schools are still holding on to their rights for litigation, SEC officials say that those cases will be addressed later if they arise. As for the Big 12, the now nineteam conference looks to add new members, though the number of additions is still unknown.

Fresh off an exciting win in Miami against the Hurricanes that was capped off with a last-minute goal line stand, K-State head coach Bill Snyder and various players talked about how the Wildcats are intending to contain quarterback Robert Griffin III and beat the Baylor Bears on Saturday in his weekly press conference on Tuesday. Last Saturday, the Wildcats overcame a late rally by the Hurricanes and advanced their record to 3-0 on the season. Both sides of the ball had a great day on the field, but the game was highlighted by the goal line stand made by the Wildcats’ defense in the last minute of the game that prevented the Hurricanes from taking a late lead. “Obviously, in the last four snaps of the ballgame, we played as well as we could have played,” Snyder said. “I was really impressed with that. It was first and goal on the two-yard line, and we had 11 guys to the ball every snap ... throughout the course of the ballgame, we were an improved defense. We still have our shortcomings, but they are not too difficult to define.” Now, the Wildcats are preparing for their Big 12 Conference opener as they host the No. 15 Baylor Bears at 2:30 p.m. on Saturday. The

Bears are led by quarterback Robert Griffin III, a Heisman Trophy candidate who has thrown for more touchdowns (13) than incomplete passes (12) on the year.

“All week we have to make sure we are improving, that we are becoming better and better and better, and we have done that until this point in time.” Bill Snyder Head Coach “It”s not funny,” Snyder said jokingly in reference to the statistic about touchdowns and incompletions. “Griffin is just an amazing player. He’s a single, major concern. Who completes 85-90 percent of their passes in the game? We don’t do that in pregame warmups ... he is for real.” The Wildcats will also be looking to avenge a horrendous defensive outing last year against the Bears. In that 47-42 loss, the Wildcats gave up 683 yards of total offense. “That is a big motivation for us because we were really thinking that they were going to beat us in the air last year,”

said K-State defensive end Jordan Voelker. “And then they came out and ran the ball more than we were anticipating them doing so. We are just preparing for all aspects of the game this year.” While the Bears’ quarterback is a Heisman candidate, Wildcats’ quarterback Collin Klein will be looking to build off a career day he had in Miami. Klein’s bloody arms and impressive numbers on Saturday proved that he is a legitimate starting quarterback for a BCS conference team. It was announced yesterday that Klein was given honorable mention by the Davey O’Brien Foundation in their Quarterback of the Week Award, an award that was won last week by Big 12 counterpart Brandon Weeden at Oklahoma State. “I am feeling a lot better,” Klein said. “It was a physical game and Miami is a very physical team and a very good defense. They played extremely hard and hats off to them, and I was just extremely grateful that we were able to hang together as an offense and as a team to be able to score when we needed to score and hold them when we needed to hold them.” Snyder also addressed the issue of running back Bryce Brown and his status with the team. Last week, starting running back John Hubert put separation between himself and the other backs with

a 166-yard performance. Brown came into the season as one of the most highly touted running backs in the country. He was the No. 1 recruit in the country, according to various media outlets, coming out of high school. After spending a season at Tennessee, he decided to transfer to K-State and after sitting out last year, he was named a preseason All-Big 12 member. However, he has failed to live up to the hype, and the reasons behind that may be deeper than previously thought. “Bryce is going through some difficult times right now,” Snyder said. “We’ll try to help him all we can.” While the Wildcats are not perfect on the field or on paper, statistically, they are undefeated thus far on the season. The Bears will be one of the toughest teams they will face throughout the remaining games of the year; expect the Wildcats to be prepared for a shootout on Saturday. “You are looking at an uphill battle,” Snyder said. “It goes without saying that the quality of play in the Big 12 Conference — it gets tougher, week-in and week-out. Our deal is what it has always been. All week we have to make sure we are improving, that we are becoming better and better and better, and we have done that until this point in time.”

that children would be the most afraid of bees, Marteney’s personal experience proves the opposite. “I have eight grandkids and they never had a problem going in to work with the bees with me. They really enjoyed it,” he said. Along with kids, Marteney does what he can to assist the young adults here at K-State by helping out at the Insect Zoo. Kiffnie Holt, K-State Insect Zoo Coordinator, has known Marteney since 2003 and expressed how important he is there. “His presence is crucial to our live honey bee exhibit,” Holt said in an email interview. “Four to six times a year we take the hive outside for cleaning and maintenance. Visitors strolling in the KSU Gardens sometimes catch sight of him out there working on it with bees buzzing all around. I help when I can, but even I am intimidated by the fear of being stung. The other way he helps us is to be present at KSU Open House in the spring and KSU Family Day in the fall. When the zoo is full of visitors, it is wonderful to have him there to show off the observation hive and answer visitor questions.” Marteney doesn’t just speak to the youth of Manhattan, but also to anyone who could benefit from a bee or two in their life. He actively advocates for both people and companies to obtain observation hives, just to see the workings and values of a beehive. He will be establishing a bee colony in the Sunset Zoo in the near future, but supplies and transport of the bees and equipment is not cheap and local beekeepers find no help from the government. “The government doesn’t like local beekeepers and what they sell. They receive no support from the government and that’s a bunch of junk,” Marteney said. With lack of government funding in addition to family farms slowly disappearing, the duty of a beekeeper is not an easy one, but Marteney shows no signs of throwing in the towel. “This is my hobby. it’s what I like to do and I’ll do it the rest of my life,” he said. “What I enjoy is seeing others become interested in learning more and keeping bees. That’s why I’ll keep doing doing it.”

A family enjoys an educational beehive installed by Marteney at the K-State Insect Zoo. As a master beekeeper, he seeks to increase the public knowledge and love for bees. He is in the process of setting up two more educational beehives at the Sunset Zoo and Oklahoma State University.

Discussion panel raises awareness of banned books City comMengyi Wang contributing writer Editor’s Note: This article was completed as an assignment for a class in the A.Q. Miller School of Journalism and Mass Communications. Daniel Ireton, assistant professor at Hale Library, and another four speakers gave a lecture of the issues of censorship for Banned Books Week. Two librarians from Manhattan Public Library, Janene Hill and Susan Whithee, and associate professor of English, Dean Hall, came to this lecture. Since 1982, the last week of September in the United States is Banned Books Week. Banned Books Week pro-

motes a real sense of culture and academic freedom, allowing the public to read views that are now outdated and represent substandard mainstream values. The public has full rights to freedom of choice in reading. In fact, the vast majority of books are “challenged” books, but not really “banned” books. The difference is that the former has restrictions to read, while the latter is completely removed from the public. Withee said Harry Potter is challenged because of witchcraft and Twilight because of the vampires. “The reasons for banning are varied,” Ireton said in an e-mail interview, “Some

common reasons according to the American Library Association include: sexually explicit material, offensive language, material deemed unsuited to age group, violence and homosexuality.” U.S. government agencies do not specifically identify which books are challenged or banned by the private sector and the American Library Association has to gather information through various channels. Parents organize themselves to put pressure on the schools to restrict or ban a book. Elected school boards have the right to hear parental complaints and make their own books and litigation based on their decision.

“Some parents came and found books not suitable for their kids. One of the parents came to find me and said this book can’t be [in the] school library. I asked ‘why? Did you read it?’ she said, ‘No, but look at this picture here,’” Withee said. Out of respect, some libraries and schools each year choose to limit or ban certain books that are found distasteful. But in order to respect a free country, everyone has the right to freedom of choice for reading each week. Banned Books Week is dedicated to reading banned books to promote cultural and academic freedom, freedom of speech. Ireton said in an e-mail interview, “This doesn’t equate

to a nationwide ban on anyone reading the book, but does limit access to students in particular. Banned Books Week celebrates the freedom to read by acknowledging these misguided challenges and bans.” The Library Management Committee encourages students to understand the Bill of Rights, to explore some of the books that have been banned and to understand the reasons behind the bans. When asked to describe their favorite banned book, Susan Withee said she did not have one favorite because she had many and Janene Hill said her favorite banned books are art books featuring nudes.

DONUTS | ‘Winning atmosphere’ and donuts cater to all ages Continued from page 3 were having a ball “playing” the piano and a young girl played “Dynamite” by Taio Cruz, which was very impressive. Varsity Donuts had other forms of entertainment. Our booth was equipped with playing cards, and by the main table, Scrabble, children’s books, coloring books, dominos and chalk were all available for their customers. There was “throwback” music playing in the background, such as “My Girl” by the Temptations, which is enjoyable for all ages. It was fun to sing along with, too. Varsity Donuts attracted a variety of ages. There were families with small children, college students and the elderly. It was refreshing to have a place that catered to all ages, because as college students we tend to be surrounded by people in our own age. Varsity Donuts seems like it would be a great place for high school and college students to work. The staff had Varsity Donut T-shirts on, which are available for purchase. The cost of a T-shirt is $9.95. The awesome donuts, funky atmosphere and pleasant staff make Varsity Donuts a great addition to Aggieville.

Varsity Donuts has a wide variety of sprinkles that they use to give every donut that extra special flavor.

TO THE POINT

Less public parking will aleve some parking stress 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. Parking on campus has been and will always be a problem. The trick to parking on campus is to arrive early. Most of the lots fill up before 8:30, and then the rush to find a spot turns into a never-ending battle of getting to campus earlier and earlier.

Unfortunately, only about one-third of the students have really mastered the art of parking on campus. The other twothirds, who more than likely only live four blocks away, have not. Those unfortunate students choose to head to campus, looking for a parking spot at 10 a.m., then spend about 20 minutes circling every parking lot, stalking people that are walking and could potentially be leaving campus.

This is a complete waste of time. They’re never going to find a spot. The solution to our parking problems was supposed to be the parking garage. Ideally, the parking garage is great. However, the spots are divided up between reserved spots, faculty, students and the public. In our experiences, the parking garage fills up rather quickly. And by fills up we mean the LED sign reads that the reserved number of spots

for students is full. When this happens, there is still a large amount of open spots. The open spots are reserved for the public. Setting aside nearly an entire floor of the garage for public spots is simply unfair to the students who have already paid for a parking permit. We do not think there should be as much public parking on campus. There are visitor spots near McCain where visitors may park. Al-

lowing more students to park in the garage will relieve the stress of parking. Yes, we would love another large parking lot, but where would it go? No one wants to pay for it and campus construction is just annoying. We can all agree that it’s just something that is not going to happen.

mission progress report Jakki Thompson staff writer There was a review of the 2010 Economic Development Annual Report at the City Commission work session meeting last night. Many key businesses were highlighted for signs of improvement and only one was discussed that was not doing so well. The only business that was loaned money from the city of Manhattan and the Chamber of Commerce was Collegiate Marketing Services. This business was sold to Dream Inc. earlier in 2011. As it appears, many of the jobs that were produced from the original organization will be moved to Chicago where Dream Inc. is based. Collegiate Market Services is currently in default with all of their loan payments. Other businesses, such as Flint Hills Beverage Company, were doing well. Flint Hills Beverage Company had more than the expected job creation and pays their employees more than what they had forecasted when borrowing money to build their new facility in Manhattan. They qualified to receive all of their incentives. Another success for 2010 was GTM Sportswear. Some of the highlights of their success have been in job creation. Their target for job creation was 339; their actual job creation was 559. GTM Sportswear has also provided employees the opportunity for advancement within the corporation. This business also qualified for all of their incentives. An organization that will soon be coming to Manhattan is the National Bio and AgroDefense Facility. Currently, the Department of Homeland Security has funneled $2.3 million in funds through Kansas to begin the land reinvestment for the facility. A lot of these funds have gone to utility relocation. This new facility is expected to generate an economic impact of $3.5 billion dollars within the first 20 years of operation. This facility is being built to help protect American agriculture and animals against bioterrorism and natural diseases. Overall, in the 2010 report, 179 total jobs were created and most organizations that were reported on have shown improvements. For every $1 the city spent on economic development, $7.72 were created from a private sector.
