FAREWELL, FRANK

Frank Martin’s move confirmed, John Currie seeks replacement Corbin McGuire staff writer K-State President Kirk Schulz and Athletics Director John Currie spoke to the media Tuesday morning in the Legends Room in Bramlage Coliseum. The conference followed the confirmation that head coach Frank Martin would indeed accept the head coach position at the University of South Carolina. This decision leaves Currie with his first major head coaching vacancy to fill since accepting the position as AD in 2009. At nearly the same time, Martin was being introduced as the Gamecocks’ head basketball coach at a press conference in the Colonial Life Arena, South Carolina’s basketball home. Schulz said he has full confidence that Currie will be able to bring in a coach capable of success that can also represent what K-State is all about and that the coach, whoever it may be, will be coming into a great situation. “The $18 million stateof-the-art basketball training facility that will open this summer shows a real commitment to men’s basketball,” Schulz said. “We can pay a very competitive salary. We have a passionate and dedicated fan base that has certainly exercised their will to express themselves a lot over the last several days. That is a great situation to come into. You have people who care about basketball here.” Currie said many of the same things in regard to the state of the K-State basketball program and its next coach before announcing that he will not be available for media contact until he has finished the task of

finding a new coach. “There will be no predetermined parameters in our search. I will of course be in regular contact with President Schulz throughout the process. This task will have my sole attention until it is completed,” Currie said before warning fans not to fall into the media frenzy that has already begun.

“Any reports, other than those originating from Tom Gilbert in our athletics communications office, are simply not correct.” Martin addressed the speculation that his relationship with Currie was an unhealthy one and that a personal rift between the two was to blame for Martin’s departure.

“That administration has been phenomenal,” Martin said. “I can’t be more thankful for the way that that administration treated us. They gave us what we needed. It’s unfortunate that because of social media stuff that people make comments, and it becomes a firestorm. If the people who reported that ever went in

meetings between Currie and I, I think their opinion would be different.” The speculation peaked when Jamar Samuels was suspended for the Wildcats’ third round game in the NCAA tournament for accepting $200 from his former coach. Currie said, after an unidentified person turned

in Samuels’ receipt of the transaction, found in a local grocery store, to the compliance office at K-State, the school administered a complete investigation before making the decision to suspend the senior. Martin supported Samu-

Study concludes military experience valuable in variety of professions Darrington Clark edge editor K-State and the city of Manhattan are certainly not strangers to military involvement. Fort Riley is one of the reasons that many military students study at K-State, and those military students may find themselves at an advantage because of their academic background. Recent studies have shown that businesses and corporations are hiring more applicants with military experience. A 2011 study conducted by the Apollo Research Institute found that businesses, in a variety of industries, all consider military experience to be a posi-

tive edge. “The disciplined lifestyle that a soldier leads lends itself to the workforce,” said Master Sgt. Brian Waterman, senior military science instructor. “Military folks carry that tailored lifestyle into how they work in a job setting.” Popular opinion in the last few years has said that many company leaders held a bias against military veterans and soldiers, and the unemployment rates among those in the military have been higher than those of civilians for several years. The most drastic change in that statistic began last year. “People obtain leadership aspects through the military,” Wa-

terman said. “They get the discipline to get up early, they already have a standard for physical fitness. It’s also very common for a soldier to have quite a bit of education.” Craig Hager, assistant professor of military science and training officer, agreed with Waterman about education experience. “Most officers have at least a master’s degree,” Hager said. “There are promotions in the military based on education.” Hager also attributed the change in military hiring to the sense of initiative that is generally instilled in soldiers during military training. “The military instills a proactivity sense,” Hager said. “We

will always go find something to do. That quality makes for a good employee. They will take it upon themselves to go find something to work on.” The Apollo Research Institute conducted their study through interviews with hiring managers. A statistical survey has yet to be officially done, but military experience has been an advantage in a wide array of fields in the past year, the research concluded. The surge in hiring offduty soldiers is only expected to increase in the future. “I’m not surprised,” said Chwen Sheu, interim head of the department of management at K-State. “I haven’t seen any statistics on the matter, but based

on my own observations and interactions, military students are very mature and have a great sense of responsibility.” Sheu said that many hiring managers might find what they are looking for because the military can and does count as a previous job. “The military gives people work experience,” Sheu said. “The students from the military exude good work ethic and commitment. The military students I teach show those things.” Not only does the military provide work experience, but according to Hager, it also trains soldiers to become comfortable with diversity, which many employers look for in today’s work-

place. “Our job places us all around the world,” Hager said. “By the time we’ve done all that, we’ve been exposed to so many kinds of people that we have no problem with diversity, and can thrive in a diverse area.” More resumes from corporations are beginning to include areas for military experience and, according to the research conducted by the Apollo Research Institute, the future employment world can expect a lot of growth and response from the military community. “I can tell you this,” Sheu said. “I would be happy to hire someone with military experience.”

Highly anticipated film stands alone, supported by strong cast “The Hunger Games” HHHHI Movie review by Abby Belden

After learning that the “The Hunger Games,” by Suzanne Collins, was going to be taken from its print version and be put on the big screen, I did not know whether to cringe or order my tickets in advance. Some books have made the transition into film well, but would “The Hunger Games” movie adaptation leave its audience satisfied? Well, fellow “Hunger Games” followers, put all doubts aside. I would award “The Hunger Games” 4 out of 5 stars because it not only sticks primarily to the book, but also offers those who have not read the book a riveting viewing experience. For those who have not read the book yet, you almost

do not need to; it did not really prepare you for what you saw on the screen. Portions of the movie, including Cato’s bloodthirsty antics, still left me and others flinching and gasping like guppies on a dock. Such images, like the blood bath at the cornucopia introduce the dilemma of “what would you do in their shoes?” It is the actions of the characters, the moral dilemmas and emotions that are pushed onto the audience that makes this movie so great. While there are noticeable changes between the movie and book, most undoubtedly a result of time constraints and to help with pacing, the movie and cast was fantastic. Jennifer Lawrence portrays heroine Katniss Everdeen, and leads a very solid cast that made the film great. Josh Hutcherson, as Peeta Mellark, complements Lawrence’s intense character with not only

his compassion, but also his charming personality. I can say nothing negative about Stanley Tucci’s work as Caesar Flickerman, Elizabeth Banks’ role as Effie Trinket or Liam Hemsworth as Gale Hawthorne. The only complaint I had concerning characters is the portrayal of Haymitch Abernathy by Woody Harrelson. Haymitch is described to be quite a drunk in the beginning of the book, but in the film, he seemed far too sober. Maybe it was the omission of Haymitch’s impromptu stage dive that caused this inconsistency. The biggest issue I had with the movie was the conclusion of the actual Hunger Games. While the dog-like creatures were included, the film neglected to show Katniss realizing that the creatures were the fallen tributes. This was a detail that should not have

been removed; it showed how twisted members of the Capitol are. Also, Cato is never at the cornucopia before Katniss and Peeta; he crashes through the trees with the dog-like creatures hot on his heels before the three tributes clash in the final battle. In addition to those changes, Peeta’s leg is not amputated, and the movie skips over the “unofficial” breakup of Peeta and Katniss. Aside from these changes, “The Hunger Games” is a movie that anyone can enjoy and get caught up in. It is filled with a variety of emotions, action scenes and a storyline that appeals to a large audience, whether they have read the book or not. For those biting their nails in anticipation for a sequel, sit back, relax and read “Catching Fire” again to keep you busy. Lionsgate announced that “Catching Fire” hits theaters on Nov. 22, 2013.

If it is anything like the first, expect a great and tastefully well-done sequel.

Copycat recipe almost identical to original, simple to make Preparation: HHHH The preparation was very easy, but it does take a few steps. First you melt the butter, then make the batter and pour it in, then spice the peaches and drop them in. Other than the steps there’s no room for error, they’re very straightforward instructions.

Peach Cobbler HHHHI Recipe review by Lauren Gocken

Over spring break my boyfriend and I visited my home in Burleson, Texas for a few days, then spent the remainder of the break in Austin, Texas. I love Austin: the food, the concerts, the shops, the atmosphere. It will be my future home, but until then, I make little trips down to check off all the major tourist spots. This trip we went to Vert’s, Toy Joy, Hamilton Pool and Salt Lick. Salt Lick is an amazing open pit barbeque joint located in Driftwood, Texas, about 30 minutes south of Austin. After stuffing our faces with smokey delicious barbeque, we dared to order dessert, and we were rewarded with a uniquely soft peach cobbler loaded with cinnamon. I loved the sharp cinnamon taste and the bready, cakey

five stars because it was easy to make, it tasted great and it was very cheap to throw together.

Taste: HHHH The copycat recipe turned out very similar to the original. It tasted really good and had the same light, cakey texture as the Salt Lick version. I doubled the amount of cinnamon in the peaches and dusted the finished cake with cinnamon because I really like the spicy taste. With a recipe like this adding or reducing spices doesn’t affect the end result and it can be tailored to fit your preferences. The recipe also calls for one cup of egg and in the future I would reduce it to maybe 2/3 cup egg and add an extra 1/3 cup of milk. The cake had a no-

ticeable egg taste, which was good but different, kind of like French toast. Leftover Potential:HH The one thing about this recipe that really got me was the amount of butter it used. It calls for 1/2 cup of melted butter to be poured in the bottom of the 13x9 pan, but when I toothpick-checked the cake and it was totally baked, there was butter sloshing around on the sides. I ended up tilting the cake to drain the excess butter off, and there was a lot of it. That being said, the cake gets pretty squishy after a few hours so it’s not great for leftovers. It said to serve it warm and I’m glad I had my family there to help get it mostly eaten. In the future I would reduce the amount of butter used to 1/4 cup.

Coach leaves lasting impact

wednesday, march 28, 2012

MARTIN | Money not the deciding factor, Currie says

Jared Brown

Fans should remember the positive changes Frank Martin has made for K-State basketball As K‐State Athletics Director John Currie answered a barrage of questions in Bramlage Coliseum Tuesday morning regarding the men’s basketball program and recent departure of its head coach, the University of South Carolina was introducing its newest member into the Gamecock athletic program, former K‐State head coach Frank Martin. While Wildcat fans continue to mourn and express anger targeted at both Currie and Martin on multiple social media outlets like Facebook and Twitter, one thing must be recognized and acknowledged regardless of whomever becomes the next head coach at K‐State, and that is that Frank Martin has changed the perception of this program for the better. Martin seemed to be an immediate replacement five years ago in the wake of former Wildcat head coach Bob Huggins’ sudden resignation after only one season. It was unsure at the time whether Martin, who was facing his first head coaching position at the collegiate level, could be successful and return K‐State to the level of national prominence the program once experienced when it was coached by the likes of Lon Kruger, Jack Hartman and Fred “Tex” Winter. Five years later, it’s safe to say that Martin has left a lasting positive impression on not only the men’s basketball program, but the university as well. Many times throughout his career at K‐State, Martin expressed that statistics weren’t of key concern in his mind, however, the numerical accomplishments with which Martin leaves at K‐State has him ranked among the best coaches that have ever led the Wildcats on the basketball court and simply cannot be ignored. Four times in his five seasons, Martin led the Wildcats to the NCAA tournament including an Elite Eight appearance in a magical 2008‐2009 season. His 29 wins that year are the most wins ever by a men’s head basketball coach in a single season at K‐State. Martin won at least 21 games in each of his five seasons bringing his overall record as a Wildcat to 117‐54 (.684). Coaches are ultimately measured on wins and losses, and while Martin certainly measures up in that regard, the most important aspect of coaching to him was always his players. Martin, a former teacher, has always been adamant about expressing that his main concern was taking in a freshman player and enabling him, during the player’s time in the program, with the tools and traits necessary to be a successful man when the player left K‐State. The values of truth, honesty, family and integrity that Martin has instilled in this K‐State program and Wildcat nation are among many that can be modeled and should be taught by whomever coaches the Wildcats’ next season and in the seasons going forward. Martin has impassioned the fan base and elevated the Octagon of Doom into one of the toughest, most challenging atmospheres in the country for opposing teams to play in. Seldom did teams walk into Bramlage Coliseum and come out with victories. Martin’s fiery personality and intimidating stare will be missed along the sidelines in Bramlage Coliseum when the Wildcats take to the floor next season, but the impact he has had on the program will be present for years to come. From this member of the K‐State family, thank you, coach Martin. Jared Brown is a senior in marketing. Please send comments to sports@kstatecollegian.com.

Continued from page 1 els on national television as a guest analyst on CBS last Saturday, saying the rule “doesn’t understand the culture of these kids,” and that he sent money multiple times to college students who he had a special impact on when he coached basketball and taught math in an inner-city high school in Miami, Fla. Martin said despite what some may think the Samuels’ suspension played no part in his decision to accept the job at South Carolina and denied any rumors that he felt unwelcome at K-State. “They wanted me at KState. That was never in question,” Martin said. “I want this challenge.” Martin called players on

members, of the basketball team Tuesday night and that he was pleased with how they reacted to the news. Martin said he would visit with the current assistant coaches in place at South Carolina soon and “make those decisions accordingly,” about whom to keep on staff and that he would also speak with his previous coaching staff and start to make his decisions as the week goes forward. Currie said he received a call last Friday afternoon from Eric Hyman, South Carolina’s AD, who said he had interest in Martin and later that night, Martin requested to speak with South Carolina and indicated that he would accept the job if it was offered to him. Currie said he asked

“When I had to speak to Rodney McGruder, Jordan Henriquez and those guys and tell them that I was making this decision, it was hard because I was making the selfish decision. I like challenges. And getting this program back to where it belongs was something I embraced from the first second.” Frank Martin former head men’s basketball coach the K-State basketball team individually to inform them of his decision to leave. “That’s the most difficult thing that I’ve ever had to do in my life,” Martin said. “When I had to speak to Rodney McGruder, Jordan Henriquez and those guys and tell them that I was making this decision, it was hard because I was making the selfish decision. I like challenges. And getting this program back to where it belongs was something I embraced from the first second.” Currie said he met with

Martin if there was anything he could do to keep him, including offering a significant pay increase, but that money was not a factor in Martin’s decision. “I want to thank coach Martin for the job he has done leading our program over the last five years. Certainly, the foundation and platform for basketball success at K-State has been elevated as a result of his efforts and his coaching staff,” Currie said. “I look forward to following his success at South Carolina.”

Two-minute drill Christopher Sourk staff writer NBA New York Knicks forward Amare Stoudemire had an MRI reveal that he had a bulging disk in his lower back. The Knicks star has been ruled out indefinitely with the injury as he is still mulling over his options on whether to undergo surgery or seek therapy. The Knicks are currently 25-25 and are in eighth place in the Eastern Conference. NBA Draft Duke guard Austin Rivers has decided to enter this June’s NBA Draft. Rivers, son of Boston Celtics coach Doc Rivers, spent one season at Duke where he averaged 15.5 points a contest. Rivers had arguably the shot of the season, as he hit a buzzer beater to shock North Carolina on the Tar Heels’ homecourt. He is projected by draft analysts to be a lottery pick. Rivers plans to hire an agent. Mississippi State forward Renardo Sidney also plans to sign with an agent and enter the draft. The Bulldog big man had a tumultuous stay with Mississippi State, as his off-the-court fights with teammates stole the headlines rather than his play on the court. In his two-year stint with the Bulldogs he averaged 11.5 points and 6.1 rebounds per game. NCAA Football The reigning BCS National Champions, the University of Alabama, extended head coach Nick Saban a two-year deal that will pay $5.62 million a year. The new contract makes Saban the highest paid coach in the country, leading Mack Brown from Texas and Bob Stoops of Oklahoma who make $5.2 million and $4.8 million, respectively. Saban said to ESPN that he had contacts from other jobs that tried to entice the head man of the Crimson Tide to leave Alabama, but he feels that this contract shows his intention to finish his career at Alabama. Saban said to ESPN, “From my standpoint, the acceptance of this extension represents our commitment to the University of Alabama for the rest of our career.”

Logan M Jones | Collegian

Former K-State head men’s basketball coach Frank Martin accepted the head coach position at the University of South Carolina on Tuesday. Martin received a new six-year contract for almost $12 million. K-State President Kirk Schultz and Athletics Director John Currie held a press conference to discuss the future of the men’s basketball program. Currie said the search for the next head coach will have his full attention and will be done confidentially.

BASEBALL

Wildcats fail to dig their way out of early hole in Nebraska Spencer Low staff writer Nebraska got out to a big lead early, scoring five unanswered runs in the first three innings and never looked back, defeating the Wildcats 6-3 in Lincoln, Neb. on Tuesday. The Huskers rose to 18-9 on the season, while K-State fell to 13-11 overall. The Huskers’ Richard Stock’s two RBIs and Rich Sanguinetti’s three hits helped the Huskers defeat K-State in the second meeting between the two teams this season. Nebraska won the previous matchup on March 6 by a score of 9-6. The teams will meet again in Manhattan, on Tuesday, April 3. Senior first baseman Wade Hinkle and sophomore designated hitter Blair DeBord each had two hits to lead a K-State offense which took advantage of a couple of Husker errors resulting in three unearned runs off Nebraska pitchers. In the bottom of the first inning, Nebraska’s first three batters all reached base, loading them up for Kash Kalkowski, who drew a walk to bring in the game’s first run. Richard Stock stepped in the batter’s box

next, and despite grounding into a double-play, he brought home another run, while Kurt Farmer’s single brought home Chad Christensen for the third and final run of the inning. The Huskers struck again in the third, as Stock’s single brought home Christensen and Sanguinetti and created a five-run lead over K-State. In the fourth inning, the Wildcats loaded the bases with two outs and senior right fielder Mike Kindel came home on a wild pitch by Nebraska pitcher Tyler King, but K-State couldn’t capitalize for more runs and settled for just one in the inning. Nebraska answered quickly though, with an RBI single by Sanguinetti to score Bryan Peters, bringing their lead back to five. In the fifth, Wildcat shortstop Jake Brown reached on an error by Nebraska defense and the senior advanced to second on the play. Sophomore center fielder Jared King followed Brown with a walk to put runners on first and second. Hinkle stepped to the plate and singled to center field to bring home Brown. Junior Tanner Witt brought home another run for the Wild-

cats in the sixth inning with a single to left field to score sophomore RJ Santigate. Santigate had earlier singled and advanced to second on a throwing error. Witt’s RBI brought the game within three for the Wildcats, but neither team would score for the remainder of the game, as both teams’ bullpens took over. K-State pitcher Matt Wivinis struggled in his second start of the season, allowing five earned runs off five hits in three innings. The freshman righty walked three and struck out one. Wivinis was followed by another freshman, lefty Robert Youngdahl, who pitched the next two innings. Youngdahl allowed one run off three hits, but did not allow any walks and struck out one batter. Two more relievers pitched three perfect innings to finish the game, two from junior Jake Doller and one from freshman Caleb Wallingford. K-State continues its road trip this weekend, traveling to Norman, Okla., to take on the Oklahoma Sooners in three games. The Wildcats will look to improve on their 2-4 record in conference play against the Sooners.

MONEY MATTERS

Five expenses to avoid 3. Alcohol

Andy Rao College students who often have to work on a tight budget may have difficulties balancing expenditures. Everyday costs and other miscellaneous expenses add up and slowly but surely can eat up available funds. Reducing unnecessary costs can, however, help students control their expenses and have money left over for things that they need. Here are five things that students should stop wasting money on: 1. Parking tickets With enrollment numbers increasing, finding parking spots has proven to be a monumental task this year. Students will often, out of frustration, give up looking for the appropriate spot and park wherever they happen to find a place to leave their cars. Unfortunately, this tactic can be extremely expensive. Prices for parking tickets can range anywhere from $10 to $50 per ticket, according to the KState Parking Services website. If a car is in a restricted zone, it can get towed, which could cost up to $150. These parking violations could add up to quite a bit of money. Students who take the time to park in appropriate spots can save themselves a pretty penny. 2. New Electronics Many students spend their hardearned paycheck on the newest video games, biggest TVs or the latest Apple brand product that has hit the shelves. As cool as the newest iPad may be, electronics are an investment that depreciate in value. This means that once an electronic is considered used or pre-owned, buyers will only be able to salvage a fraction of the resale value for that product.

Weekends in Manhattan for K-Staters are often filled with barhopping and house parties; alcohol is a staple in the lives of some college students. In fact, according to alcoholpolicymd.com, college students nationwide spend about $5.5 billion on alcohol. It can be a dangerous habit for someone to start a tab in a bar, and in the drunken festivities, lose track of the amount of money they have spent. Responsible drinking can serve as a good social outlet for college students, but can hurt their wallet if they aren’t careful. 4. Bottled Water When people think bottled water, the general perception is that it is worth the money because the water is “cleaner” or “healthier.” Many claim to drink bottled water because they are afraid that water from the tap may contain germs. Ironically, however, several notable bottled water brands, including PepsiCo’s Aquafina and Coca-Cola’s Dasani, released information that they use water from public sources, according to a 2007 article on CNN.com. In addition to reducing waste, students can save a significant amount of money by just drinking from a tap, instead of spending $1 to $2 every time they want to quench their thirst. 5. New Textbooks For some, the smell of brand new pages and the cracking sound of the book’s spine they hear as they open a new book for the first time may be an unforgettable experience. It is also, unfortunately, much more costlier than a used book. With online services such as chegg. com, amazon.com, and even special deals offered by K-State, students have a variety of sources that they can utilize to find the best deals on textbooks. Another way students can save themselves money is to buy and sell books from each other. A student who has completed a course can gain some money back, and the buyer can purchase a highly discounted book. Keeping a tight wallet may not necessarily always be about cutting spending, but rather could focus on the value that purchases have. By monitoring the salvage value of each purchase, students can avoid making purchases that are wasteful and lose value as time goes on. Andy Rao is a sophomore in accounting and finance.

Scholarships offer assistance, relief assistance to our students than ever before.” More than 50 percent of undergraduate students receive grants based on financial need, both from federal programs and programs at K-State, said Larry Moeder, assistant vice president for student life and director of admissions and student financial assistance. In order to qualify for this assistance, one must complete a FAFSA form (Free Application for Federal Student Aid) by April 1, and also meet the criteria for “financial need” set forth individually by each program. While fulfilling requirements may sound like a rather tedious process, the end result may be a significant amount of financial assistance.

More than $200 million in annual financial aid reduces strain on student budgets Dillon Fairchild staff writer For many students, college is an expensive investment that can be a difficult burden to bear. It is also an expense that becomes more and more challenging to address as each passing year reveals tuition hikes at universities across the nation. This in turn leads some students, many of whom have few assets of their own, to take on ever increasing amounts of debt in order to finish their degree program. However, there are many ways to pay for college without increasing debt or, at the very least, taking student loans that may offer better financing options than those offered by most financial institutions. Students at K-State, while undoubtedly also feeling the strain of increased tuition, have the benefit of attending a university which places great emphasis on student aid; more than $200 per year in various forms of financial aid is offered to students, according to KState’s wesbite. Pat Bosco, vice president for student life and dean of students, said that the university “gets it,” realizing that students often require some form of financial support in order to pay for their education. “Affordability is a defining factor of our school,” Bosco said. “President Schulz, from his first day as our new president, has been fully committed to the fact that K-State students and families are dependent on a responsive need-based financial assistance program [as well as] merit awards that recognize the potential as well as the accomplished success of K-State students. As a result we are offering more

“Affordability is a defining factor of our school.” Pat Bosco vice president for student life and dean of students For students whose families do not meet the requirements for needbased financial assistance, there are still many options. For high-achieving students, there are always merit-based scholarships and awards. According to Moeder, nearly 25 percent of the student body receives some form of merit-based aid. “All students at K-State, every single one, qualifies for some form of financial aid,” Moeder said. “Whether it is grants, scholarhips, loans or work programs, they will qualify for something.” Moeder also said that 70 percent of students receive some form of financial aid, meaning approximately 30 percent of students on campus choose not to accept any form of aid. Finally, if students have exhausted

all of the usual routes for financial aid and still find themselves falling short, there are a number of private programs and scholarships which may be able to help. “After a year or two of college, there are more opportunities open to students than when they applied,” Moeder said. “They have accomplished more things. They now have a college GPA. All of these things are going to increase their chances of getting scholarships.” Moeder also related the story of one particular student who, in years past, was so aggressive in her scholarship hunt that every year she was able to bring in almost $20,000 in outside scholarships. While this is a rare case, he said it does serve to illustrate the fact that there are many programs available to students with the willingness to track them down. According to Ben Kohl, assistant director of student financial assistance, students who are already enrolled at K-State can turn to the university’s financial aid office to look for ways to increase or adjust the amount of aid they receive. “Each student has a personal financial adviser who will help them figure out if they are eligible for further aid,” he said. “There are also student advisers at the front desk who are able to answer many of the questions students may have about financial aid.” Kohl said that the Student Financial Assistance website is full of information and answers to frequently asked questions which can provide a wealth of information to those looking to find out more about possible financial aid. He also said that he believes K-State works hard to help its students. “We provide a lot of resources for students,” Kohl said. “If they have any questions, they can just come right in to the office and sit down with an adviser, and find out what they need to do next.”

DISABILITY | Accident changes students’ life Continued from page 3 here for a while might as well listen to some music.’ The radio didn’t turn on and I found out later my engine had been ejected.” Berning said she didn’t think the truck driver saw her. “The next person that drove by also drove past and then I saw them turn around and come back. The lady that had found me said I didn’t look like a car it just looked like a piece of metal in the field. She said the only reason that she turned back was be-

cause she saw a tire in her mirror that was glaring from the sun,” she said. The woman came back and called the ambulance. Since the population of Berning’s town is just around 1,000 people, most of the town knew about the accident before the responders even got to her. She did make it out of the car fairly easily. “The lady that had stopped had kind of pulled me out a little bit, which she shouldn’t have done, but I was begging her to let me out because I couldn’t be in there,” Berning said.

She felt like she had been in there for almost an hour before the woman came, but she still can’t be sure on exactly how long it was. The EMS rushed Berning to the hospital where the doctor on call was actually a family friend. “The doctor couldn’t even think straight. I asked him, ‘What is going on?’ And he just said, ‘I don’t know,’” Berning said.
