SO IT ENDS

Matt Binter | Collegian

Coach Bill Snyder walks pensively toward the Vanier Football Complex after K-State’s loss to Nebraska Thursday evening. The Wildcats lost 48-13.

Historic Nebraska rivalry ends with crushing loss for Wildcats Justin Nutter gameday editor This wasn’t exactly the ending K-State fans had in mind. For possibly the last time ever, the Wildcats played host to Nebraska at Bill Snyder Family Stadium on Thursday night. Huge runs by Husker quarterback Taylor Martinez set the tone from the getgo, and K-State ended a nearly century-long series with a 48-13 loss to the Big Red. Out for revenge after last year’s season-ending loss in Lincoln, the Wildcats received the open-

ing kickoff and marched down the field looking to grab a quick lead. But a decision by head coach Bill Snyder to run the ball on fourth down killed the drive when senior quarterback Carson Coffman was stopped short of the first-down marker. Eight plays later, Martinez ran 14 yards untouched to put the Huskers up 7-0. Sophomore kicker Josh Cherry pulled the Wildcats to within four with a 46-yard field goal on the ensuing drive, but Martinez quickly took back the momentum to the red-and-white sideline. He answered K-State’s drive with a

35-yard scoring burst, and the onslaught began. The Huskers forced a three-and-out and added a 39yard field goal from senior Alex Henery en route to a 17-3 halftime lead. Things didn’t get any better after intermission, as Nebraska scored touchdowns on their first two drives to silence any thoughts of a comeback. “I knew we’d have trouble with (Martinez),” Snyder said. “How much, I didn’t know. He made it look awfully easy. He’s a tremendous athlete and obviously has excellent speed. He’s quick and he’s

Eric Brown, sophomore in political science, plays the role of Creon as he scolds Zach Dace, freshman in open option, who plays the role of the sentry during the rehearsal of “Antigone” Tuesday night in Nichols Theater.

Theatre department performs ‘Antigone’ K-State’s production of Sophocles’ 2,500-yearold tragedy premieres Thursday night Caitlin Whetstone junior staff writer The K-State theatre department premiered its production of the Greek tragedy “Antigone” Thursday night in Nichols Theatre. The play, written by Sophocles in the fifth century B.C., is based on the Greek myth of Antigone, daughter of the late King Oedipus of Thebes. After her brother Polyneices dies in a fight for the throne with their other brother Eteocles, Antigone yearns to bury his body to honor his bravery and serve him justice, but her uncle Creon, the new king of Thebes, has declared the body must remain rotting on the battlefield. The tragedy portrays An-

tigone’s willingness to risk her life to put her brother at peace. The story ties into modern themes like social corruption, individual rights, morals and the power present over society. “I loved Antigone’s performances because I thought she really added to the emotional aspect of it,” said Jason Strong, freshman in criminology and dance. “It was definitely an interesting performance and portrayal of the story.” Lauren Perez, senior in theater, portrays Antigone, who struggles in the fight to bury her brother and deals with many different emotions throughout the story. Her quarrel with Creon, played by Eric Brown, sophomore in political science, is ongoing throughout the show, as there is a constant struggle between Antigone’s conscience to put her brother to rest and Creon’s threat of power over her. “What I like most about my character and what I find

fast, and we’re not very fast. That’s not a good matchup.” “Not a good matchup” might be an understatement. Just like Central Florida signal caller Jeffrey Godfrey did to K-State on Sept. 25, Martinez — also a redshirt freshman — picked up chunks of yards at will. He finished the game with 241 yards and four touchdowns on the ground, both career highs. He reeled off countless bursts without being touched, as he also scored on runs of 80 and 41 yards. “He made some mistakes, but he did a lot of good things for us,” Nebraska coach Bo Pelini said of

his quarterback. “He ran for a lot of yards. He is an explosive player. He creates some problems for defenses.” Martinez wasn’t the only one creating problems, as senior running back Roy Helu Jr. carried eight times for 110 yards and a score. When it was all said and done, the Husker backfield combined for 451 yards on the ground. The effort marked the first time a K-State defense has allowed over 400 rushing yards since a loss to Colorado in

easier to understand is she is very much like me, which is not very common for me to play,” Perez said. “Playing her is a lot easier because I can go off of ideas I would do and have rather than try to make up a history of someone else. It blended a lot with my personality.”

Several Manhattan area businesses are teaming up to educate the community about recycling and identity theft, as well as to raise money for the Sunset Zoological Park this Saturday. ESB Financial is hosting its annual Free Recycle and Shred Day. Manhattan residents are encouraged to bring documents like old bank statements, credit card offers and outdated medical records to ESB Financial’s location at 224 East Poyntz Ave. These documents, which could be used to steal one’s identity, will be shredded and properly disposed of, courtesy of Document Resources Inc. Liz Sieloff, of ESB Financial’s client services, said the turnout

in the past has been good and they hope to make the event bigger this year. “We’re hoping for double last year,” Sieloff said. “We’re really excited and ready to help the community.” There will be a table set up to accept old cell phones and some select electronics like laptops, MP3 players, digital cameras, camcorders and ink jet cartridges. Money raised from cell phone donations will go toward benefiting the Sunset Zoo. Sunset Zoo staff will be on hand to entertain children and families with a variety of animal-related artifacts and, if the weather permits, live animals. Eastside and Westside Markets, Go Green Curbside Recycling and Manhattan Broadcasting will also be in attendance. The community event will run from 9 a.m. to noon. For questions about what can be recycled or shredded, ESB Financial can be contacted at 785-539-3553.

Dropping in

Self-serve frozen yogurt shop opens Orange Leaf oﬀers rotating selection of toppings, yogurt Amanda Hinkley junior staff writer Orange Leaf, Manhattan’s new self-serve frozen yogurt store, not only provides cold treats, but also “offers a really fun environment and is healthy,” said Kelsey Price, junior in finance. “I love the environment,” said Alyssa Dold, junior in graphic design. “It’s very modern and different from most ice cream places I’ve been to.” The store’s opening on the night of Sept. 24 was spur-of-the-moment. “We had to wait for the last code

inspection at 5 p.m.,” said store manager Jim Newman. After that, Newman left the store to get fresh toppings. When he came back, 30 students were waiting. The management decided to open the store. Orange Leaf offers an ever-changing variety of flavors and toppings. “Every week we take two flavors out and put two more in,” Newman said. There are 36 different toppings to choose from, including cold toppings, like fruit, and dry toppings, like almonds and candy bar pieces. Costumers pay for their frozen yogurt by weight: 39 cents per ounce. “There are so many different flavors to choose from,” Dold said. “You can never run out of combinations.”

Frozen yogurt is considered healthy for its low calorie content. Orange Leaf ’s chocolate flavor only has three grams of fat and 90 calories per three-ounce serving. Before working as a manager for Orange Leaf, Newman was with a different company in the Manhattan area. After a meeting with Orange Leaf, he decided to join, he said. “I love what they stand for,” Newman said. “It’s a good fit. It’s so much fun because of the atmosphere and the energy level.” This energy, in part, comes from the K-State students, he said. He said he loves K-State and it’s great to be in a partnership where support is given and received. Orange Leaf is located at 501 North 3rd Street, near Hy-Vee.

Roberto Santana Villarreal Meraz Do Americans really embrace people of all religions? I flew here from Mexico and landed at midnight on a Saturday after a 12-hour trip to Wichita. I asked a Muslim person at a Wichita State University stand where I could pick up my baggage. He guided me and afterward offered to take me to the bus station. I accepted. On the way, he stopped to pick up his wife at a mosque, then took me to the bus station at almost 1 a.m. I offered to pay him for gas, but he refused. The other day, I went to the K-State Student Union and talked to a married couple from Malaysia who are Muslim. I wish I could list their names, but they were afraid to receive backlash and asked to remain anonymous. The woman received a scholarship from the Malaysian government and has been at K-State since 2007. She has an assistantship in a research department that helps retired seniors. Her husband is here to take care of her. When I asked if they have ever felt prejudice, she said, in her research department, people treat her perfectly, but in places where they don’t know her, like supermarkets, they treat her

differently or look at her “weird.” Some of their friends think 9/11 changed how Americans view Muslims. They said that before Sept. 11, there was no prejudice against Muslims. An article entitled “Muslim victims of 9/11 attack” on about.com contains a list of the more than 30 innocent Muslims who died in the World Trade Center and on the planes. Their families, too, will never forget it as a sad event. One example I found was the story of Salman Hamdani in “American Muslims died in 9/11 attacks,” a Sept. 9 article from the St. Louis Post-Dispatch. He was a New York City police cadet and an emergency medical technician who was killed while trying to help injured victims, but he and his family were investigated afterward to see if he was connected to the terrorists. “We did not kill; we did not attack. We were attacked. We were one of the victims,” Salman’s mother, Talat Hamdani, told the Post-Dispatch. “Salman was also murdered, and yet we’ve been carrying the cross since 9/11. We refuse to carry the cross anymore. Enough is enough.” The events of 9/11 were not an act of Muslims, but an act of extremist persons with different ideologies. Maybe some of them were Muslims, but that doesn’t mean all Muslims are terrorists. I know how they feel because I, as a Hispanic, have also suffered weird looks and don’t always feel embraced by Americans.

Illustration by Yosuke Michishita

Maybe I felt weird, at first, driving with a Muslim, or maybe because it was 12:30 a.m. in a city I had never been to before, but now I realize Muslims are great people that will help anyone in need, as hopefully you would also do. Change your perspective. As I ended my conversation with the K-State couple, they kindly said “As-Salamu Alaykum,” an Arabic phrase that means “peace be upon you.” Roberto Santana Villarreal Meraz is a junior in political science.

Hello, K-Staters. I am glad Kansas still indulges us with nice, warm days, and I can’t believe that almost half the semester is over and midterms are approaching. Busy with school, I recall what a great time I had during summer. I enjoyed going back home and staying with my family in Russia and Ukraine and visiting my friends in Houston, but the brightest memory was from two weeks of my summer fellowship at the American Institute for Economic Research in Great Barrington, Mass. This is my second year at K-State in the master’s economics program, which I plan to graduate from in May 2011. My first two semesters here were so challenging, I didn’t even think about applying for summer internships or fellowships. In early March, I met a friend who got accepted for a six-week internship at the World Health Organization in Washington, D.C. I was encouraged to try something interesting and productive with my summer, too. I browsed many websites for potential opportunities. At first, I was upset because many organizations had deadlines that had passed in winter. But as a Russian proverb says, “Those who seek will find.” I continued my search and found information about the summer fellowship at AIER. AIER is a private economic think-tank established in 1933. According to aier.org,

Advice for K-State students considering internships: 1) Plan to use your summer productively; apply for summer internships. 2) Start early. Literally, start your search and applications today. 3) Ask your adviser and professors where you can apply according to your interests. 4) Spend at least one summer outside of Kansas. This is a great way to be exposed to people with different backgrounds and cultures and to make friends nationally. 5) Try to get in touch with students who have already interned in organizations you are considering. 6) Have alternative plans in case the opportunity you want does not work out. 7) Get the most of your program and enjoy your summer. the institute conducts independent, scientific, economic research to educate individuals, thereby advancing their personal interests and those of the nation. When I learned the summer program was designed for graduating and master students who plan to pursue a Ph.D. in economics, I knew this was exactly what I needed. I stopped searching after I submitted my application. Looking back, I think it was unwise that I didn’t fill out more applications, since it’s always good to have a backup plan, but I was certain that AIER was my perfect match. I got lucky — they

decided the same. AIER provided detailed information about travel arrangements, institute facilities and more, so I felt well-prepared, but even so, I was surprised that my expectations were definitely exceeded. The first thing I like about AIER is it brings together students who are bright, ambitious and curious about economics with AIER staff and visiting professors who are knowledgeable, experienced and passionate about their research. Nine students, including me, participated in our session. There were also six interns who stayed at

AIER all summer. Most were American citizens, although there were four internationals besides me, representing Switzerland, China, Vietnam and the Ivory Coast. I also appreciated that the program was wellorganized and rich with seminars, presentations and cultural activities. The seminars included topics like sound money, business cycles, property rights and methodology of economic research. We had presentations in modern portfolio theory and externalities, economic development in China, modern financial crisis, social networks as instruments of capital flows analysis and making presentations and charts. We had to write four essays during these two weeks, so we had a very tight schedule. One of the essays I wrote was on property rights related to environmental and energy issues. I had access to all the library resources of AIER, including AIER’s publications on personal finance and problems of modern economics, such as global warming and property rights, which I could use in my research. Exposed to different topics of economics, I clarified my own interests, found a topic for my master’s thesis and defined which Ph.D. programs I wanted to apply to. Since thee topic I am interested in iss interdisciplinary, I am looking for programs strong in microeconomics, econometrics, industrial organization, development, public policy, and energy and environmental issues. My time at AIER was great not only from the academic point off view,

but also the scenic view. The picturesque 100-acre campus is surrounded by a forest and a lake nearby. As part of the cultural activities, we had dinner at a Greek restaurant and went bowling, we went to an opera and we visited the Williams College Museum. We saw movies related to U.S. history (“The Patriot”), property rights (“A Man for All Seasons”) and market transformation in developing countries, including Russia (“The Commanding Heights”). I had a great time, met great people and deepened my economic background. Being involved in various academic and cultural events has helped me develop friendships, which I hope will not only last in the future, but also transfer into scientific collaboration. I am very thankful to AIER for inviting me to their program and to the professors at the K-State economics department who gave me recommendations to participate. Based on my experience, I encourage other K-Staters to find a summer program and apply now. Olga Bespalova is a graduate student in economics. Please send comments to opinion@spub. ksu.edu.

AN ERA ENDS Defeat indicates much work to be done Ashley Dunkak sports editor Head coach Bill Snyder always talks about starting well and finishing well. As the Wildcats utilized senior running back Daniel Thomas on eight of 10 plays to start their first drive of the game, only to turn the ball over on downs and then allow Nebraska to score on their first possession, they did not accomplish the former. By the end of the game, with a final score of 48-13 Nebraska, it was abundantly clear they did not accomplish the latter, either. To add insult to injury, wide receiver Brodrick Smith was hurt on the play before K-State’s lone touchdown. He stayed down on the field for several minutes before being helped off to the Nebraska sideline, from where Smith was carted off the field. As he was driven to the tunnel, the receiver did not wave or acknowledge anyone — a bad sign. If he is out for the season, it significantly weakens the receiving corps, which has not exactly been dazzling to this point. Speaking of insult, it disappointed me that so many K-State fans defected when the deficit increased. Maybe I’m just a competitive person, but it stung to have more crowd noise for the Huskers than for the Wildcats. K-State had given the university an undefeated season up until yesterday, and it deserves support even in its ugliest moments. I can’t speak for everyone in purple who stuck it out, but it made my blood boil to hear “Go Big Red! Go Big Red!” in Bill Snyder Family Stadium. There is not much to say about this one. 48 points and 587 yards of offense allowed later, the Wildcats have work to do. Rushing trios told the story of the first half quite eloquently. Nebraska quarterback Taylor Martinez and running backs Roy Helu Jr. and Rex Burkhead combined for 188 yards on the ground. Martinez scored both the Huskers’ rushing touchdowns in the first half, including a 35-yard spurt into the end zone. Both times, he walked in. Contrast that performance with the Wildcats. Senior running back Daniel Thomas had only 45 yards on 16 carries, putting his average at slightly under three yards per rush. Senior running back William Powell had one rush for six yards; sophomore fullback Braden Wilson had one for one, and senior quarterback Carson Coffman contributed zero net yards on four carries. The Wildcats had more yards passing than they did rushing in the first half, which was very out of character for the team. The difference in the teams’ offenses could also be seen in the battle on the line of scrimmage. Nebraska’s line plowed forward, whereas K-State’s looked as if it was being pushed back. In the second quarter, K-State shot itself in the figurative foot with penalties. On the drive on which Martinez eventually burst out for that 35-yard touchdown run, the Wildcats had two offsides penalties:

The Wildcats, who were 4-0 going into the game, lost to the Cornhuskers 48-13. one that Nebraska declined to keep its 16-yard gain on that play, and another that nullified a tackle for negative seven yards by sophomore defensive end Brandon Harold. Coffman was only sacked once in the first half, but he was hurried and hit on numerous occasions. His throw-it-up-and-see-what-happens pass to end the half was intercepted, though it did not matter because time had expired. The score at the end of the second period was 17-3 Nebraska — the same score by which the Huskers defeated the Wildcats in the Big 12 North title game in 2009. It was a bad omen. The interception to end the half was less than graceful, but it was nothing compared to what the Wildcats would face to start the second half. K-State defensive end Antonio Felder said in a press conference that the Wildcats had to stop big plays when they played Nebraska. They did the exact opposite, al-

lowing touchdowns of 35 yards, 80 yards, 68 yards and 79 yards in the third quarter alone. In the fourth quarter, Wildcats finally managed to get into the end zone, but only on fourth down after having first and goal at the Nebraska one-yard line. This drive, though it ended in a score, epitomized the futility of the Wildcats’ offense against Nebraska’s very deserving nationally ranked defense. Snyder had a frank assessment of the game. “We didn’t run the ball very well, we didn’t throw it extremely well, we didn’t play defense against the run or the pass very well,” he said. “I told our players that this could easily come down to the kicking game, and we did well enough in the kicking game that everything else fell on its face. So I don’t think it’s one aspect of it that I’m as concerned about; I’m concerned about all of it collectively and just how good we are in any aspect of the game.”

To play or not to play?

Ashley Dunkak One of the first stories listed on Yahoo News on Thursday was about St. George’s, a private high school in Rhode Island, pulling out of its game against perennial league dominator Lawrence Academy because of the disparity between the size of the athletes on the different teams. Is that right? I understand the school’s concern. To be fair, Lawrence does have linemen who weigh over 300 pounds and five players who have already committed to Division I colleges, according to an Oct. 5 article by Mike Carraggi of the Boston Herald. The idea of your typical lean, mean (with an emphasis on “lean”) high school quarterback being drilled into the ground by a 300-pound future college

player is a bit daunting. However, I don’t know if I like the precedent this sets. How many situations are there in life that seem impossible? Many. The idea of bowing out early seems counter to what high school sports should be about. Losing stinks; there’s no question about it. But sometimes you lose in life, and shielding kids from that early only makes it harder for them later on. I’m no football coach, but surely the team could employ some kind of strategy against this powerhouse to keep its players as safe as possible. From what I read in the Herald’s article, it sounds like Lawrence often pummels its opponents into submission as far as points, beating many teams by 40 points or more, but I haven’t heard yet of any physical injuries it has inflicted. I would be really interested to hear what the players — on both teams — have to say about this. If I were with St. George’s, I think I would be embarrassed to have my team withdraw from a game ahead of time. Sure, it would be awful to get beaten by 40

points, but at least everyone made an effort and did their best against some amazing players. If I were with Lawrence, I would be a bit peeved. Teams shouldn’t just be able to avoid the most difficult opponents. Plus, Lawrence loses a game in its season. You should have to fight for every victory; again, in real life, nothing is handed to you. In general, high school athletes are competitive people. If you are putting in grueling hours of practice, conditioning and weightlifting, the last thing you want as a player is to lose the opportunity to compete. Again, I hear the coach and athletic director about the concern of injuries, but the truth is those happen in games where teams are evenly matched also. I hope this isn’t the beginning of a trend. If it is, the players may be protected physically, but as the saying goes: no pain, no gain. Ashley Dunkak is a sophomore in Spanish, journalism and mass communications.

RECAP | Snyder to reﬂect on quarterback situation Continued from Page 1 1989 — Snyder’s first season in Manhattan. “It’s always frustrating when a team is gashing you,” senior defensive end Antonio Felder said. “You’ve just got to go to the sideline and try to fix it and keep fighting. We’ve got to put (this game) behind us, but we’ve also got to also fix the things that we had trouble with.” Offensively, the Wildcats were left looking for answers all night. Senior running back Daniel Thomas turned in his second straight subpar performance, rushing 22 times for just 63 yards. Coffman was once again ineffective and was replaced by sophomore

Collin Klein early in the third quarter. Junior Sammuel Lamur also saw some second-half action, which reopened questions about the starting quarterback situation. “I need to sit down and reflect on it and watch video tape,” Snyder said when asked about his quarterbacks. “We have a lot of things to reassess. We can’t continue the way we were tonight.” The Wildcats return to action Oct. 14 when they make a trip to Lawrence for a Sunflower Showdown matchup against in-state rival Kansas. The game, which will be televised on Fox Sports Network, marks K-State’s second straight Thursday night contest in as many weeks.

K-State to face tough opponent Sam Nearhood senior staff writer The Big 12 Conference schedule is starting to ramp up for K-State volleyball, and Saturday’s match will be among those at the apex of the proverbial mountain. K-State (9-8, 3-3 Big 12 Conference) will cap a long stretch of home appearances against No. 11 University of Texas (9-5, 4-2). Last season, the Longhorns were ranked second in the nation for the entire year, right behind the formerly invincible Penn State, who beat them in the final match of the NCAA Tournament. However, they have been slipping in the polls this season. The Longhorns went on a stretch of wins to kick off the season, but a nonconference match against Illinois changed that; with its first win in the books, Texas began to lose again and again. It should be noted that it has only lost to teams ranked above itself, with the sole exception of Texas A&M, which slaughtered the Longhorns in College Station, contrary to the nation’s expectations. Texas has fared well against KState in the past. In the 30 matches that have taken place since before most students were born, it has

GRAZ GRAFFITI Student’s time in Austria brings dating experiences, friends Elena Buckner edge editor Lauren Renee Brewer is part of our weekly series on international life and travel featuring K-State students who have experienced studying abroad and students living and studying in their own countries worldwide. Brewer, graduate student in grain science, studied in Austria at the University of Graz during the summer 2010 semester. Q: What kind of accommodation did you have? What did you do for food? I lived in a student home with three guys from Russia and two girls. I only saw one of the girls over four months of being in the flat. Student homes are like dorms; there are five bedrooms (two people share a room), two water closets and two shower rooms. For food, I ate out, which is also what I do here. Q: Was there a main “problem” at or around the school? Graz is really safe; there was a lot of graffiti, but the town loves graffiti so I don’t know if I’d call it a problem. Maybe public drunkenness, but with three large universities in town, the drunks were actually 30- to 50-year-old men. Go figure. Q: What did you do on the weekends? Hang out with my friends and capoeira group, a Brazilian martial art, or travel, because flights were cheap and train tickets are half-price, in most cases, for people under 26. Q: Did you experience the dating scene at all? Was there a difference in male/female interactions? The sexual and unrestricted racial questions they asked that would not be “OK” in the U.S. was a big difference. Also, the guys I went out with thought I should know everything about their country of origin. On a date one guy asked, “Do you have a boyfriend?” I said, “No.” So the guy said, “Oh, you’re a homosexual?” I responded, “No, that would make me single.”

Q: Were there any random facts or realizations you discovered there? Americans smile at strangers. During my stay, whether they knew English or not, many 60-year-old men asked me out because I smiled at them in passing on the street. This made them think that I was interested. I wasn’t; I was “being polite.” Q: How popular were tobacco and/or other drugs? Tobacco was huge. I was told they were taught that recycling is good, but obviously the “D.A.R.E. Dog” that we have in America didn’t make it to Austria to explain that smoking is bad. And drinking is just something they do with a meal and for leisure; there was lots of beer and wine. Q: What did you miss most about the U.S. and K-State? What do you miss most about Austria now? In Austria, I missed large beds, my car and Mexican food. I miss my friends and the good bread from Austria. Q: What was the biggest difference from K-State and the biggest adjustment you had to make? Walking and eating enough so I could walk all the time. Here we drive everywhere; there you don’t drive to the store. Sometimes even people who had a car wouldn’t take a car to the store; everyone just walks everywhere. Q: What was the most popular night for drinking and where did people go to drink? What was the most common drink of choice? I had friends that wanted to go out Thursday through Sunday. But Continuum had four cocktails Tuesday, and I went there with friends that had no connection to each other. So it’s obviously a nice spot for the 20-yearolds. Q: What was your academic schedule like? Did you choose your classes or were they set for you? My German is horrible. I just did research for my Ph.D. requirements and studied

Bottom: Brewer navigates the complex streets of Venice, Italy. under two professors, but I only worked with one directly. Q: How did the classes and instructor interaction compare to K-State? Did you find any language or cultural barriers that made it hard to learn? In all interactions, everyone wanted to practice their English, so I didn’t have much trouble. Q: What was your favorite thing about the culture? The recycling in town. The whole town recycles. Q: Who were some of the friends you made? Was it easy to meet people from the country where you studied? I made too many friends to name. It was really easy to make friends; someone invited me out literally every day.

Manhattan area oﬀers many dating options beyond dinner, theater

Sara Gudde Coffee at Bluestem Bistro, Radina’s Coffeehouse & Roastery or Starbucks is great for a first date. For a second or third, maybe dinner at Olive Garden, CoCo Bolos or Aroy Thai Cuisine and a movie at Seth Childs Cinema. But what about the fourth or fifth date? What happens when dinner and a movie just doesn’t cut it anymore? Never fear, K-Staters, Manhattan has more to offer than fine dining and cinema. Take advantage of the beautiful fall weather and head outside with your significant other. Try biking on the Manhattan Linear Trail and make a day of it; it is about 18 miles long. Don’t have a bike? Head to City Park, Warner Memorial Park or CiCo Park and take a romantic stroll. Keep other outdoor activities in mind. For a local classic, head up to Manhattan Hill together. Check out Tuttle Creek Reservoir for fishing, canoeing, kayaking or Frisbee golf. Check out the observation point to watch a beautiful sunset.

Legendary folk artist Food-borne illnesses start with improper preparation visiting McCain Precautions necessary when preparing food Elahe Bahadori junior staff writer Proper food handling is one way to prevent foodborne illnesses, the flu or a common cold. However, students commonly make mistakes when handling the food bought at the grocery store and prepared at home. â&#x20AC;&#x153;What theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re doing wrong may be many things, but poor personal hygiene is a contributor,â&#x20AC;? said Valentina Remig, assistant professor of human nutrition and member of the American Dietetics Association. Remig said often people are unclean, have an unprotected cut on their hands or have a contagious illness they can share with those eating the food. She

said people who are not careful with how they handle their food could cause themselves, and others, to get sick. Symptoms of these illnesses include cramping with gastrointestinal problems, vomiting, fever, dehydration and the flu, all due to a simple lack of proper food handling. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I wouldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t want to get sick, throw off my daily routine or waste money by not handling food properly,â&#x20AC;? said Ellen Roberson, freshman in open option. Many students have busy schedules and do not have the time to recover from a sickness due to food-borne illnesses. Some people canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t afford to miss class, work or other extracurricular activities. Elizabeth Barrett, associate professor of hospitality management and dietetics, said a few things people might be doing

wrong include not properly washing their hands prior to preparing food, not cooking food to the correct internal temperature and incorrectly thawing frozen meats and poultry. Keeping leftovers in the refrigerator longer than five days can be unhealthy, Barrett said. It is also unhealthy to use the same knife to cut raw meats and vegetables without properly washing it between uses. Checking expiration dates, reading directions on how to cook meat, always keeping kitchens sanitary and maintaining personal hygiene will all reduce the chances of getting sick. With food-borne illnesses posing a risk to each studentâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s day-to-day eating schedule, these tips are important to keep in mind while preparing food. Your immune system will thank you.

Grammy Award winner Janis Ian to perform Lisa Barry junior staff writer Folk singer and music legend Janis Ian is scheduled to take the stage tonight in McCain Auditorium. The event is part of the 20102011 McCain Performance Series. Ian has been writing and performing music for over 40 years and was the first musical guest on Saturday Night Live. Todd Holmberg, executive director of McCain Auditorium, approached Ianâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s booking agent to invite Ian to K-State for a specific

reason. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Her career closely parallels the history of McCain Auditorium,â&#x20AC;? Holmberg said. McCain Auditorium was dedicated in 1970, around the same time Ianâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s career took off. Holmberg said aside from being a pioneer in songwriting, Ian also set several cultural trends and became a cultural icon. He said her 1967 debut song â&#x20AC;&#x153;Societyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Childâ&#x20AC;? was about interracial romance and was banned a year after its release. A year after it was banned, it was nominated for a Grammy. Ian is scheduled to perform at 7:30 p.m. Tickets can be purchased at the McCain Box Office. Student tickets are half-price.

VBALL | Overshadowed Continued from Page 5 won almost three quarters of them, including a non-stop series of victories since late 2003. Last season, Texas swept K-State in both meetings. The Longhorns undoubtedly have some built players on their side. Junior middle blocker Rachael Adams has an average of 2.84 kills per game, which is lower than some of the greats, but her .427 hitting percentage is better than what some players can hit on a big night. The teamâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s star hitter, senior outside hitter Juliann Faucette, has an average 3.08 kills per game with a .210 hitting percentage.

Faucette, however, is overshadowed by K-Stateâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s senior outside hitter JuliAnne Chisholm, whose recorded 3.38 kills per game will make her dangerous to the visiting team. With Texasâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; loss of their star player, Destinee Hooker, from last year, it will be interesting to see their new dynamic. After KStateâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s big loss to Oklahoma last Wednesday, the odds are decreasing for the Wildcats, but a top effort from the team in purple could be enough to knock off this top-ranked team. First serve is set for 7 p.m. in Ahearn Field House. Fans not able to attend can listen to the match on 1350 KMAN.

Student organization works to raise money Tiffany Roney staff writer Millions of Pakistani citizens lack basic shelter, food, water and education due to massive floods that left one-fifth of the country underwater, according to an Aug. 30 reuters.com article. The Coalition at K-State, a student-run social justice organization, aims to help Pakistan with its Rave

to Save: Pakistani Flood Relief. Erin White, junior in political science and vice president of The Coalition, said last yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Rave to Save for Haiti, which raised $1,500 for earthquake aid efforts, was so successful she and fellow members decided to make the rave an annual event. â&#x20AC;&#x153;This is an incredible opportunity to partner with other K-State students to make a difference and help an area of the world that is desperately hurting right now,â&#x20AC;? she said.
