Sean Frye staff writer The focus is now on the Oklahoma Sooners, as the Wildcats took care of business Saturday afternoon, beating the University of Kansas Jayhawks 59-21. With the win, the Wildcats stayed undefeated on the year and took home their third consecutive Governor’s Cup Trophy. “We played well when we had to,” head coach Bill Snyder said. “We got off to a good start…our defense played so well. I’m proud of our youngsters.” Collin Klein had one of his most impressive days of the year, albeit against the nation’s worst ranked defense. He rushed for 92 yards and four touchdowns. Klein also threw for 195 yards and one touchdown. “He wasn’t bad, he played well,” Snyder said about Klein’s performance. “He missed a few shots, but managed the ball game like he always does, extremely well. Played hard and tough like he always does. Made good decisions. He played well.” Tyler Lockett also had a great day for the Wildcats, hauling in five catches for 110 yards and a touchdown. He also went 97 yards on the opening kickoff of the second half for a touchdown, the second consecutive week Lockett has scored off of a kickoff return. “We’re doing all right so far,” Lockett said. “I just wanted to do whatever I could to contribute to the team and luckily this is what happened today [Saturday].” K-State’s defense was solid all day as well. David Garrett led all tacklers with 11, while linebacker Arthur Brown, who battled injury throughout the game, recorded eight. The defense also held the Jayhawks’ offense to just 286 yards, 119 yards below their average. The Jayhawks were only able to put up 21 points due to a last-second touchdown on the last offensive play of the game, which was cleanup time.

Cassie Wandersee 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. Some students may have noticed that their budgets are a bit tighter this year. According to the K-State Economics Club, this is due to continued rising costs caused in part by inflation. The rising cost of living can be attributed to higher prices in several areas that students are regular consumers of, such as gasoline, tuition, textbooks and housing. This year’s increase is very similar to the previous Student Price Index which showed that the goods consumed by students had increased by 5 percent. The 2011 Student Price Index, or SPI, is compiled by the Economics Club, showed a 4.9 percent increase from 2010 in the cost of living for the average K-State student. Kyle Landau, vice president of the K-State Economics Club, coordinated several club members to visit local restaurants, grocery stores, bar, gas stations, bookstores and movie theaters to collect

information on annual pricing. “As we all know, 20 dollars will not buy us nearly as much as it could have 10 years ago,” said Landau, senior in economics. “The price of nearly everything has increased substantially over the last decade.” According to the economics club’s figures, gasoline is up 37.4 percent, tuition is up 4 percent and textbooks are up 10 percent which greatly

“It is a bit disheartening that students are again impacted by infation more than the average customer” Katie Gustafson senior in economics contributed to the SPI’s 12month growth. Student housing also saw an increase in cost. The average housing cost for a K-State student is up by 3.5 percent. The SPI pointed out that a there was a 7 percent increase for off campus and dorms but an unchanged cost increase

for Greek housing. While students have seen a definite increase in prices, the Consumer Price Index for an average American is less. According to the U.S. Bureau of Labor statistics the Consumer Price Index for all urban consumers increased by 3.9 percent over the last 12 months, rising costs of food and energy have attributed to the increase. The full report can be viewed at www. bls.gov/news.release/cpi.nr0. htm . Daniel Kuester, director of undergraduate studies in economics and faculty advisor for the K-State Economics Club, said “Once again, K-State students have been hit harder than the average customer by inflationary pressures although this year’s change is not tremendously different from the change overall in the Consumer Price Index.” Since the first set of data was collected in 2002, the SPI has shown an increase in price level of just under 80 percent. Under the same time frame the CPI has increased by approximately 27 percent. “It is a bit disheartening that students are again impacted by inflation more than the average customer,” said

Katie Gustafson, senior in economics. While costs rose in many areas for students, some areas remained unchanged or are down slightly. Beer, pizza, ICAT tickets and movie tickets were all included in this category in the SPI. “We have noticed that the prices of goods that most of us would consider to be luxuries, such as pizza and movie tickets, have remained fairly stable,” said Jason Meyer, sophomore in economics. Meyer said he believed luxuries have remained unchanged because businesses were more cautious about raising the prices of these goods. Many customers with disposable income would be more likely to stop or reduce purchasing such items if the prices went up too much or too often. “Overall this year’s data is somewhat encouraging when we look at the stable prices of movies, pizza and ICAT tickets along with a decrease in the price of beer,” Kuester said. “The fairly large increases in textbook prices and gasoline may change some student behavior where they wait to buy books until after the semester begins and travel less.”

Mary Renee Shirk, graduate student in journalism and mass communications, emcee’s the Rocky Horror Picture Show in 2010. Shirk will also emcee this year’s show. Jakki Thompson staff writer The annual Union Program Council Rocky Horror Picture Show event will take place Friday, Oct. 28. The preshow will begin in the K-State Student Union Grand Ballroom at 10:30 p.m. and the film will begin at midnight. “This is a tradition at KState and has been since the Rocky Horror Picture Show became a phenomenon in the 1970s,” said Ashleigh Herd, junior in chemical engineering and films co-chair for UPC. “I grew up with Rocky Horror, making it something I particularly wanted to be apart of.” This event will feature many of the same things it has in the past. Mary Renee Shirk will be performing some of her stand up comedy and giving away prizes. There will be a costume contest for both traditional Halloween wear or Rocky Horror Picture Show-themed costumes. Herd said students can come in regular clothing also. The tradition of the virgin auction will occur for people who have not ever seen the

Rocky Horror Picture Show. The auction is completely voluntary and audience members do not have to participate if they do not want to. “With the cost of admission, which is $5, there is a provided prop bag,” Herd said. “The prop bag will include the traditional rice, toast, newspaper, playing cards and toilet paper. The use of all of these things will be explained before the movie begins at midnight.” Last year, more than 500 students and community members attended the show. Herd said she hopes to see the same amount in attendance, or even more, this year. The After Hours committee will be having a photo booth event in lobby outside the Grand Ballroom. This will be so students will be able to get photo strips of them and their friends, like someone could get at a carnival or arcade. “This event brings people together,” Herd said. “This event shows another side of people. You can see the craziest types of people, but everyone comes together to celebrate something that has been around for a long time.”

Flash mob to appear outside of student union

Taking aim

Jakki Thompson staff writer

Photos by Lauren Gocken | Collegian

John Roberts, junior in agricultural technology management, aims at a clay pigeon at Tuttle Creek Shooting Park Oct. 23.

CJ Delfelder, senior in wildlife and outdoor enterprise management, shoots at a bright orange clay pigeon at the Tuttle Creek Shooting Park Oct. 23. The Trap Shooting club was offering 25 free shells and clays to newcomers; they funded this event through a National Shooting Sports Foundation grant that they had received.

The Union Program Council, UPC, will be hosting a flash mob in Bosco Student Plaza today from 12:20 to 12:30 p.m. This flash mob will be to promote the Rocky Horror Picture Show event on Friday, Oct. 28. The Rocky Horror Picture Show will be shown in the Grand Ballroom in the K-State Student Union. “We came up with this idea two years ago and just kind of threw it around for a while,” said Ashleigh Herd, junior in chemical engineering and films cochair for UPC. “Last year was the first year we did something like this. We looked on YouTube to see what exactly it was, so we decided to implement it.” UPC did this event on the Wednesday leading up to their Friday event in 2010. This year, the only time the space was available was Monday. “We chose to do this as a promotion tactic because it really grabs people’s attention,” Herd said. “We try to do this on a day that is closest to the event, so this year it is on Monday.” “The time warp dance is from the movie,” Herd said. “We find any reason to do it. Even people who haven’t seen the movie know about the time warp. It is a fun and upbeat song with the dance moves right in the lyrics.” Herd said that the people who were in the original group got together over the weekend to nail down the logistics of the flash mob. She said there were about 10 original people from the Films Committee in UPC, the After Hours committee and the executive board who wanted to be a part of this. “If people know the time warp, we want them to join in with us in Student Union Plaza,” Herd said. “We want as many people a part of it as we can get. The more the merrier.”

Los Angeles Guitar Quartet tells stories through acoustic concert Pauline Kennedy staff writer The melodic stories of Don Quixote, a young Gypsy girl and an upbeat traveling circus were just a few of the tales told in McCain Auditorium Friday night. These stories were not told through voice or narration though; instead the sound of four acoustic guitars resonated through the auditorium. These were the sounds of the Los Angeles Guitar Quartet as they performed as part of the 2011-2012 McCain Performance Series. The Grammy award-winning quartet has traveled around the

world through places in Europe, Asia and the U.S. playing several guitar styles. The group performs different styles of music from Spanish and jazz to classical style guitar pieces. For the quartet, each piece they played had a story behind it or told a story through the music. They often told the story before the pieces so the audience was able to visualize what the composer had in mind when writing the piece. “I think it really helps to have the description. It helps to bring the whole thing out, because you can sense it or have instinct in terms of maybe feeling it,” said Martin Vacanti, Manhattan

resident. “But it helps then to visualize it also. The mood, the aggression, the resolution, you can sense all of it.” One Spanish-style piece told the story of a young Gypsy girl haunted by a jealous past lover who did not want her to love another man. The piece took the audience through the emotion of the story from jealousy and sorrow to seduction, acceptance and love. “I think the best guitar music, of course, is Spanish classical so we’re having a good time,” Vacanti said. Other audience members liked that the quartet told the story before the piece as well.

For Patrick Stokes, sophomore in open options, the explanation was essential for the stories he’d never heard before, like Don Quixote. “I think that really benefits it, since it is supposed to go along with the story,” Stokes said. “I think it would be interesting if they had the words with the reading too.” “I liked it a lot because it puts a lot more visuals in your head,” said Jessica Thornton, Manhattan resident. “It’s kind of like a movie.” Along with the story of Don

Quixote, the Gypsy woman, “El Amor Brujo” and the “Circus Polka,” the quartet also played music from the time of Cervantes, “Post-Bop” Classics from Jazz legends, Paisaje Cubano Con Lluvia, or Cuban Landscape with Rain and selections from “Carmen Suite.” Each piece highlighted a specific guitar style and a different time period. While many McCain Performance events are often sold out, the crowd for the guitar quartet was a bit smaller. Many audience members said they came

because they knew others who wanted to go or because they were given tickets, but all of them said it as something new and different they were glad they were able to see. “I don’t necessarily listen to a lot of classical music or anything, but I do enjoy the guitar,” Stokes said. “I enjoyed the show.” Thorton said it was also not music she listened to regularly, but said she definitely wanted to see them again. “I’m wanting to go find some money to get one of their CDs now,” she said.

Christmas, elections begin earlier each year to make money

Brian Hampel Halloween is approaching, and that can mean only one thing: Christmas is almost here. OK, maybe that’s not what you were thinking, but that seems to be a retailer’s mentality. They say the Christmas season comes earlier every year, and it seems to be true. Walmart’s Christmas decorations are already displayed. I went to Bed Bath & Beyond two weeks ago (don’t judge me), and it already had a Santa section decked in red and green. Retailers know that this is their chance to make bank, so they prepare for it in advance with decorations and seemingly constant streams of “Jingle Bell Rock.” The more time they can spend in Christmas mode, the better. Christmas gets a full two months out of the year dedicated to its celebration. Every year, we complain about the hyper-commercialization of Christmas, yet we keep buying into the holiday sales and Black Friday hype and Christmas-themed radio stations. There’s another holiday of sorts that we treat the same way, and it falls on the first Tuesday of November every four years. It is, of course, Election Day. If one can say that the Christmas season is overlong and all about marketing, the same is even truer for elections. The Republican candidates were announcing their candidacies as early as April and May, a full year and a half before the actual election, and they’ve been receiving consistent media coverage ever since. And this is just for the primaries. We haven’t even reached the “only a year away” mark, and there have already been three or four televised debates among the potential candidates. The campaigns have even gone on long enough that candidates are already dropping out. Perhaps worst of all, the constant campaigning is being taken seriously by the public. Rather than complaining about the commercialism, we’d rather complain about Mitt Romney’s health care plan or Rick Perry’s debate performance. I understand that we’d like to get to know the candidates in advance, but do we really need a full eighteen months of polling and news-watching before we feel comfortable voting? We’ve already formed our opinions about every horse in the race, and what could we possibly learn about any Republican in the next months that will change our minds?

Just as retailers enable Christmas fever with early decorating and “15 percent off ” sales, the states enable election fever with early primaries. Florida famously voted its primary forward in the schedule this year, and there’s no incentive for a state to pull its primary back. The primaries attract attention to the state and its issues in the same vein as “Happy Holi-

days” banners. Christmas and Election Day come too early because they are both suffering from the same problem: They’re increasingly focused on money. Businesses rely on the holiday season and Black Friday for a boost of income and try to squeeze as much as they can out of the season, hence the massive amounts of advertising, just as presi-

dential hopefuls can spend up to three-quarters of their campaign budgets in the first handful of state primaries. As much as we’d like to think that we’re immune to the persuasive powers of advertising, business owners and elected representatives alike know that we respond to bigbudget campaigns. Most of us can agree that commercializing and ex-

tending these seasons makes them less special and takes away the magic (if elections were magical to begin with, that is), and we all agree that society would be better off if we kept our holidays compressed. I don’t blame the politicians or retailers, though. They’re just responding to demand from the voters and consumers, who seem unable to wait.

Perhaps the increasingly lengthy Christmas and primary seasons are indicative of a broader social trend of impatience or gluttony. We simply like too much of a good thing, even if we spoil the good thing by smothering it. Brian Hampel is a junior in architecture. Please send all comments to opinion@spub.ksu.edu.

Art, music stimulates brain, helps with cognitive development

Jillian Aramowcz From the time we enter school until we finish our formal education, we are constantly trying to increase our breadth of knowledge. Everyone knows that learning your multiplication tables, state capitals and doing traditional course work as a child is a typical approach to commit important facts and concepts to memory. However, we as a nation must not forget how important the effects of fun, spatially stimulating activities like art and music are to cognitive development. Creative thinking greatly stimulates the brain and have been proven to do everything from making reasoning skills stronger to improving mood, behavior and concentration. In 1996, a survey conducted by the College Entrance Exam Board Service on students taking the SAT showed the effects on intelligence in relation to music. Those individuals who played a musical instrument scored 51 points higher on the verbal portion and 39 points higher on the math section of the test. This was a pretty impressive statistic considering that the increase in logical, leftbrained activities like math was due to a right-brained creative activity. The book, “The Mozart Effect” by Don Campbell

outlines hundreds of benefits of music education and amongst those, he mentions that treatment for difficult disorders such as autism has shown huge improvements in patient response when music is incorporated into their lives. Have you ever had a bad day and put on your favorite artist and felt better, or have you ever realized how when working out, you do much more and go for longer periods while listening to your iPod? According to Campbell, this is because music also stimulates the areas of the brain that cause an increase in energy and motivation. According to Emily Sohn in the Jan. 10 article, “Why Music Makes You Happy” on discoverynews.com, when listening to music, your brain releases dopamine, the same chemical that makes you feel satisfaction, pleasure and a general sense of well-being. This same enzyme is released during great sex or delicious meals, for instance. Other creative activities such as art can also have a profound effect on mood and cognition. Research conducted by the group Americans for Arts published on abrakadoodle.com in the column “Benefits of Art Education” that children who regularly participate in an art class or do art projects are four times more likely to be in a math or science fair and four times as likely to win an award for writing. Like music, the social impact of creating art is similar. The same column listed numerous benefits to a child’s cognitive health. Art students have shown

Illustration by Jillian Aramowcz improved reasoning skills, problem solving skills, better language development and an increased tolerance toward

other people. Additionally, it is important to remember that activities like band class, choir or

art programs are usually something kids look forward to and enjoy doing on their own time. In a world where

test scores are becoming increasingly stressed in public schools due to initiatives like No Child Left Behind, schools that cram more math, science and tests into their curriculum are missing out on the benefits of fun activities that make students happier, smarter, well-rounded individuals. Unfortunately, budget cuts and funding problems across the nation hit art and music programs particularly hard. According to Robin Pogrebin in an April 1 New York Times article, “Art Outposts Stung By Cuts in State Aid,” our great state of Kansas has one of the smallest art budgets in the nation. The column goes on to say that in the 2012 fiscal year, 31 states made the choice to cut their art budgets due to the slacking economy and recessionrelated problems. It is sad that some of the most stimulating and interactive parts of our culture and schools are falling victim to rules, regulations and an ideal stereotype of what is most important educationally and socially. I am not trying to say that math isn’t important or that biology isn’t useful, but through art and music, your brain is truly engaged and learning constantly instead of just memorizing facts for the sake of a test. Art and music should be highly stressed in all aspects of life because of lasting benefits these activities promote on a social, psychological and intellectual level.

Some of the possible solutions include cutting social service agencies funding, increasing city sales tax and other financial forecasts that are proposed at Tuesday’s meeting.

Week 8 BCS Top 25 Poll RK

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. Here at the Collegian, our staff is in no way anxiously anticipating any of the upcoming events and holidays aside from maybe Saturday’s football game and what ridiculous outfits we plan on wearing for Halloween. Our mindset behind this is that we do not want to get ahead of ourselves and take the fun out of upcoming festivities. Too often in our society, we see people jumping the gun as they prepare for these special events, already focusing on the next upcoming thing or activity. If you don’t believe us, go look at the Christmas displays in Walmart. Many stores have already taken down their Halloween displays to make room for Christmas ones, completely skipping Thanksgiving. Does anyone see a problem here? The same can be said for television media as they talk trends and current events to death. The reason holidays, presidential elections, major movie and book premieres, the Super Bowl, the World Series and Fake Patty’s Day are special is because they are not an everyday occurrence. If the Pride of Wildcat Land played “The Wabash Cannonball” after every down it would lose its significance. We would like to see people try to preserve the meaning and worth of these events by not jumping the gun and focusing on things one day at a time. Part of the reason our football team has been successful thus far is because they focus on things one game at a time. It might be smart for the rest of the purple nation to take a page from their playbook.

“It’s really neat that this group can bring greeks together in service,” Baker said. Order of Omega sponsors other events to help the Manhattan community, including “Adopt a Family,” where members pool together money to help a needy family purchase toys for their children for Christmas. Pant the Chant is in Bramlage Coliseum tonight at 8 p.m. Doors open at 7:30 p.m. and all who attend are encouraged to bring canned or nonperishable food items for the Breadbasket.

Wildcat offense finding balance

DOMINATE | Wildcats defeat Jayhawks in showdown Continued from page 1 “It was a great game,” Garrett said. “We just came to play and did what we had to do. We keep growing, keep building and we’re staring to get some respect.” With K-State 7-0 overall and 4-0 in the Big 12, the stage is set for an epic matchup next Saturday at Bill Snyder Family Stadium with the Oklahoma Sooners, which dropped its first game of the year on Saturday night to the Texas Tech Red Raiders by a score of 41-38. The Sooners are currently 6-1 overall and 3-1 in Big 12 play. “We have tried diligently

Tyler Dreiling For nearly the entirety of the 2011 season, K-State has been regarded as a one-dimensional offensive football team. The Wildcats demonstrated an unwavering rushing attack that would wear defenses in to submission. Against in-state rival University of Kansas on Saturday, the playbook opened up to both the run and the pass, and the results were unquestionably effective in a 59-21 victory. Collin Klein was 12 for 19 throwing the ball for a careerhigh 195 yards, and connected on a 19-yard touchdown strike to receiver Tyler Lockett. “He (Klein) wasn’t bad,” coach Bill Snyder said. “He probably missed a few throws, but he managed the ball game extremely well. He played hard and tough like he always does.” After K-State’s first drive, which produced only five yards on three plays, Klein began to find open receivers all over the field. K-State scored its first touchdown at the 4:16 mark of the first quarter, capping a drive in which Klein was 4 of 4 for 67 yards throwing the ball. He finished the quarter 6 of 7 for 86 yards. “Unfortunately, we got into some long-yardage situations on third downs, but people stepped up and made plays,” Klein said. “Guys across the board made catches and made plays.” The initiation of more passing plays into the K-State offense quickly confused the Jayhawks, who then struggled to defend both the pass and the run. Klein finished off four different drives with touchdown runs, and John Hubert, who had only five yards on his first four carries, finished with 96 and a touchdown on 17 carries. Meanwhile, the freshman Lockett set career highs with five catches for 110 yards and a score. Chris Harper had five receptions of his own, for 55 yards. All that from a team rarely expected to pass. “It was way different (facing a run-first type of offense),” KU cornerback Tyler Patmon said. “If a guy doesn’t handle his responsibility or stay in the right gap, then the whole scheme can be messed up.” The Jayhawks kept the game close early, but once K-State receivers found openings in the KU secondary, all went wrong. “We let the game get away from us at the beginning of the second half,” Jayhawk defensive end Toben Opurum said. That may be an understatement, as K-State scored twice in a period of 1:07 to begin the third quarter, the first on a 97-yard Lockett kickoff return to begin the second half. From then on, with the Wildcats leading 45-14, K-State’s second consecutive blowout over its rival was well in hand. “It is another Saturday,” Snyder said. “I think our players played hard and did so with some spirit.” Lockett said the offense is headed in the right direction, but hasn’t reached its ultimate goal yet. “We’re doing alright right now, but we still have plenty of improvement to make,” he said. “I feel like we will have plenty of improvements to make in practice this week while we prepare for Oklahoma.” While the game didn’t provide quite the test it was expected to, Lockett was happy K-State maintained its recent success in the rivalry. “We wanted that trophy [the Governor’s Cup] to stay in our complex,” he said. “We went out and made that happen.” Tyler Dreiling is a freshman in journalism and mass communications.

to impact the concept of one day at a time, one step at a time,” Snyder said. “Our guys understand that. This week is another step and a new beginning. Oklahoma is an unbelievable football team. I’m truly impressed with what Bob (Stoops) and his players have been able to do down there. This is a monumental challenge for our football team.” Regardless of the team ahead of the Wildcats, this team was extremely satisfied to claim the Governor’s Cup for the third consecutive year, particularly after KU head coach Turner Gill was quoted as saying that his team would get the “last laugh” against the Wildcats this season. “It’s a big rivalry game here,”linebacker Emmanuel Lamur said. “He told us to lay it all on the line. This will be a remembered game.” Being one of the eight remaining undefeated teams in the country this late in the season has the confi-

dence level amongst the players and coaches at an all-time high since Snyder’s return to the helm. They face their biggest test of the

That has left many wondering if the confidence level will falter with such a huge obstacle in front of the Wildcats. “What do you mean, of course we have confidence going into the OU game,” Garrett said. “What are we supposed to do, not have confidence being undefeated?”

K-State sophomore middle blocker, Kaitlynn Pelger, winds back for a shot on Iowa State blockers Wednesday night at Ahearn Field House. Mark Kern assistant sports editor The Wildcats appeared to be going up two sets to one against Oklahoma Saturday in Norman. However, an eight point run by Oklahoma gave them a victory in the third set and the Wildcats never recovered as they lost the match in four sets. (20-25, 25-20, 22-25, 21-25). K-State was able to get a solid day from their hitters as Kaitlynn Pelger, Lilla Porubek and Alex Muff combined for 44 kills, including a career high 13 by Muff. The first set did not get off to a good start for K-State as Oklahoma started fast with an 11-point lead. K-State battled back against the Sooners to cut the lead to 24-20, but the Sooners scored the next point to win the first set. The second set was the com-

plete opposite as the Wildcats were the ones with the fast start. The lead was pushed to 20-13 when the Sooners tried to go on a run of their own. The Sooners were able to cut the lead to 24-20. However, Pelger ended the match with a kill to tie the match at one set apiece. This is where it appeared that the Wildcats seemed to be taking control of the match. In the third set, the Wildcats and Sooners battled, but then a run by the Wildcats gave them a 22-17 lead. The Wildcats were only three points away from winning the match. However, Carlee Roethlisberger, the younger sister of Super Bowl quarter back of Ben Roethlisberger, had two kills during the run as the Sooners came back for the victory. The tough loss for the Wildcats meant that they were now down two sets to zero instead of up.

The Wildcats now had to win the fourth set just to extend the match to a fifth set. In the fourth set, the Sooners were able to keep the Wildcats at arm’s length the entire set. The Sooners held a lead of 19-18 when they went on a three-point streak to push the lead to 22-18. The teams exchanged points for the rest of the set and pulled out the 25-21 victory. The Wildcats have a season record of (15-7,4-4). The Wildcats are getting close to the end of the season and are in a battle with Missouri, Texas A&M for fourth place in the Big 12 standings. K-State will be back in action on Wednesday as the Wildcats will host the Missouri Tigers at Ahearn Field House. First serve is scheduled for 6:30 p.m. and the match will be televsised on Fox Sports Kansas City.
