Making the Most of It

SGA

Current senators hold final meeting Danny Davis | Collegian

Tommy Theis | Collegian

Kevin Saunders talks about his experience in a grain elevator explosion, where he was thrown 300 feet over a two-story building and barely survived.

Saunders shares experiences to motivate others Austin Enns | Collegian “Out of the million things I could do, I can do 990,000,” said Kevin Saunders, KState graduate and motivational speaker. “I focused on the 10,000 things I couldn’t do, and that let the depression and pity pull me down. The more I got around the better I felt.” Saunders has won an Olympic gold medal, and has even been in a movie with Tom Cruise. Saunders is also paralyzed from the waist down. On Wednesday night, Saunders spoke in the K-State Student Union Ballroom as part of the Healthy Decisions Wild Wellness Week and Disability Awareness Week. Wellness in all aspects of one’s life was the theme of the speech, and Saunders tried to convey this by explaining how he is using his second chance in life to try to make a difference in the world. Ashley Wagner, senior in psychology, said she enjoyed learning about Saunders’s life.

“I really like that he’s very motivated and willing to talk about his disability,” Wagner said. Saunders’s life changed two days after he started working as a Federal Inspector for the USDA at a grain elevator. In one of the worst grain elevator explosions in Texas history, Saunders lost the use of his legs. He talked about when he was near death, he was taken to a hospital on a door in the back of a station wagon by a paramedic who refused to give up on him. In the hospital, Saunders could hear the doctors commenting on how he wasn’t going to make it. But he did. During his recovery, Saunders fell into a depression. His attitude changed after he met a painter named Mique Davis who was paralyzed from the neck down. Davis was able to enjoy activities, like painting with a paintbrush clenched between his teeth, and that inspired Saunders. A turning point in Saunders’s life was when he participated in his first 10k race in a wheel chair. Even though he was woefully

unprepared with a hospital wheel chair and thin gloves, he was able to get within sight of the finish line before race officials physically forced him off the course. This event served as a catalyst for change in his life. Saunders started working toward a balanced and successful life by making goals. Besides winning an Olympic medal in the 1988 games, Saunders took a cross-country trip from Michigan to Texas on his wheel chair to raise awareness for obesity. He was a motivational coach for the K-State football team for 14 years and was the first disabled person named to the President’s Council on Physical Fitness. Rachel Cunningham, junior in public relations and marketing and co-chair for the Healthy Decisions Event Planning Committee, said she found the lecture very inspirational. “I think the message was to just keep trying,” Cunningham said. “Even after graduation, when you think everything is settled, to just keep setting goals in your life.”

Student Senate will hold its final meeting for the 2009-2010 term of senators tonight. Next week, the 2010-2011 senate will hold its first meeting. Several allocations are on the agenda for the meeting that were remaining from last week’s agenda. Among these, the senate will vote on a $500 allocation to Fair Trade Advocates. The group is attending the Fair Trade Futures Conference in Boston. The conference occurs once every five years and the organization will be sending five members to it. Another allocation to be voted on will provide $1000 to the Student Alumni Board to attend an annual conference in Kansas City. According to the bill, they will “learn about student recruitment techniques.” Ten members from the board will be attending the conference. The Senate will also vote on a bill providing emergency funding for the KState Student Union. The Union approached the Privilege Fee Committee to request an emergency allocation to repair the roof in the courtyard. It seeks to spend $55,000 from it’s reserve account and requests $100,000 additional funding which will come for the committee’s emergency allocation account. The estimated cost of the repair is $154,950. Senate will be meeting at an earlier time tonight, at 6 p.m. Meetings are held in the Big 12 Room of the Union.

Black Jew Dialogues cast humor over race and intolerance Danny Davis | Collegian The nationally acclaimed comedy act, the Black Jew Dialogues, performed yesterday evening at the K-State Student Union. Sponsored by the Diversity Programming Council, the show featured Ron Jones as the Black and Larry Jay Tish as the Jew. Jones opened the show by commenting on K-State sports. He said that he would have liked to have seen the Wildcats in the Final Four, but it was a great season anyway. Tish was quick to add that the Kansas Jayhawks were eliminated first, prompting applause from the audience. The duo’s disclaimer at the beginning of the show accurately represented how it would go the rest of the night. They warned the audience that there would provocative language. “We know it’s out there, people think it, people say it,” Jones said. “Let’s get it out in the open. Don’t get caught up in the words, get caught up in the message.” For the show, the comedians advised the audience to turn off their bias, hatred, and preconceived notions. To illustrate these thoughts, they showed a video of students, some from K-State, who were interviewed by the comedians’ puppets. One of them, a Mexican, was asked what he had heard people thought about Mexicans in the United States. He replied that people said they were lazy and stealing all the low class jobs. That is a contradiction pointed out one of the puppets. They are lazy, but they are stealing all the jobs, he reflected. That kind of humor was what Eric Houston, senior in agribusiness, enjoyed about the show. They confronted serious

issues in a lighthearted manner, he said. On stage, the comedians remarked how both Jewish and Blacks are minorities, have lived in ghettos, and have been slaves from Africa. Tish said that since Egypt is part of Africa, the Jews were also slaves from Africa in Biblical times. “Aw hell no,” Jones said. “Don’t go pulling that North technicality.” The point they were trying to emphasize was that to cope with conditions in America, they must deal with their past. Tish said that Jews use food to help endure the suffering and Jones said that blacks use music. Often throughout the performance, Tish commented that he was hungry or thinking about food. One skit within the act featured the men dressed as grandmothers preparing to go to a picnic. They sat down at a distance from each other. Tish avoided Jones because he is a black woman. “I was taught to look at people as who they are and what they’ve done,” Jones said. But Tish replied that all she ever has seen on the news were black people and they mugged her grandson. Jones said that they never show hardworking black people on the news. The two grandmothers wind up befriending one another, dancing and trading picnic baskets. Dressed back as their normal selves, Jones and Tish had a discussion on guilt and what it is like living in America as a black and a Jew. Tish asks Jones to imagine he’s with another woman while his wife is sleeping beside him. And she wakes up. “Oh man that’s some Tiger Woods s---,” Jones said. That is how the guilt feels being Jewish, Tish said, feeling guilty for everything.

Tommy Theis | Collegian

Larry Jay Tish, “The Jew,” listens to Ron Jones, “The Black,” while Jones complains about the food at Tish’s bar mitzvah. The comedy act works to break down stereotypes that stem from fear. As for being black, Jones offered his own perspective on life in America. “Imagine you’re only capable of being someone’s athlete, or a clown, or being dangerous, that you’re totally driven by your sexual urges and that ultimately you’re going to f--- up and wind up in jail,” he said. “That’s what black people have to deal with in America.” The two said that much of the perception about the minorities in America are due to fear and stereotypes - called “feareotypes.” Any wrong that a black or Jew commit affects the image of the whole

group, they said. “I just wish [America] would realize there’s nothing to be afraid of,” Jones said. “There’s nothing to fear.” They described several situations in which fear controls thoughts of minorities. After the September 11 terrorist attacks, Muslims on airplanes are subject to fear or hatred. Also, driving in cities and having black people walk towards a persons car usually prompts them to lock their car doors out of fear.

H.A.L.O. honors Chávez

page 3

Getting Acquainted

Chelsy Lueth | collegian

Community members and members of H.A.L.O. marched from 17th and Yuma to the K-State Student Union to commemorate the work of César Chávez. Lauren Garrison | Collegian Yesterday evening, many people gathered at the corner of 17th and Yuma St. to march in honor of César Chávez. The group walked to the K-State Student Union, where there was a reception waiting for them in the Cottonwood Room. The purpose of the march was to raise awareness for the many things Chávez accomplished during his lifetime and to gather signatures for a petition that would make March 31, Chávez’s birthday, a national holiday. In 1962 Chávez founded a union called the National Farm Workers Association, which is now the United Farm Workers. Over the years, through Chávez’s leadership and nonviolent tactics, the UFW has accomplished many things. According to the UFW Web site, www.ufw.org, some of the UFW and Chávez’s early accomplishments were “the Delano grape strike, [Chávez’s] fasts that focused national attention on farm workers’ problems, and the 340-mile march from Delano to Sacramento in 1966.” “[He] made people aware of the struggles of farm workers for better pay and safer working conditions ... Chávez and the union sought recognition of the importance and dignity of all farm workers.” The Hispanic American Leadership Organization, K-State student organization, organized the event. H.A.L.O., which meets weekly, is an

organization that promotes Hispanic culture at K-State and in the Manhattan community. “Our main focus is to promote H.A.L.O., and to recruit Hispanics,” said Liz Renteria, president of H.A.L.O. “We try to create a place for Hispanic Americans to go where they feel comfortable.” Renteria, junior in social work and modern languages, said the march was meant to honor the memory and the civil rights work that Chávez did. “He worked really hard for people’s rights,” Renteria said. “Really just basic rights anyone should be allowed, like going to mass on Sunday, or using the bathroom at work.” Renteria said Chávez mainly used the nonviolent tactics of Martin Luther King, Jr. and Ghandi to draw people’s attention to the way Hispanics, and other minorities, were being treated. This was the first time that H.A.L.O. had organized the César Chávez March, but Kristen Garcia, vice president of H.A.L.O. and sophomore in family studies and human services, said that they had come up with the idea to do it last year some time. Garcia said she thought there was great turnout. “It is very exciting to see the students excited about it,” said María Teresa Martinez-Ortiz, professor in Spanish. “We just want to recognize the importance of this day.”

Basketball team gives students, fans great ride this season

Marshal Frey Last week may have marked the end of the Wildcats’ run at a national title, but for me it was just a sad note on an excellent season. Sure, we’re all disappointed that we didn’t make it to the Final Four, but this season in K-State history has been one of the most exciting and memorable seasons for students and fans. And besides, we outlasted KU in the tournament. Is there any way we can recruit Ali Farokhmanesh kid to come play

at K-State? I have never really been a basketball fan. Okay, that is a slight exaggeration. I used to abhor basketball in high school. But this season has changed my mind. Maybe it was watching Curtis Kelly dunk in pregame warm ups or watching Martavious Irving break it down coming out of the tunnel before game time. Maybe it was donning the Jacob Pullen chops or doing the Wabash after a Wildcat victory. It might have even been camping out in freezing weather before the KU game. Or maybe it was just that Frank Martin scared me into it, but whatever the reason is, I am now a basketball fan. I think what Frank Martin and the men’s basketball team have accomplished in the past season is nothing short of incredible. Who would have thought we would have knocked off

the top ranked Longhorns at home, or we would have been featured on ESPN’s College Game Day? At the beginning of the season, I never would have thought we’d find ourselves competing for a chance to enter the Final Four or that we would be in the position to win a Big 12 championship. Yes, the men’s basketball team has put K-State back on the map. Aside from setting a school record for single season wins, the basketball team garnered national attention for K-State and the Little Apple. So thank you, Coach Martin for leading our team into the Elite Eight and for giving us all a good time in Manhattan this season. It was a short ride, but it was a good one. You and your team have brought excitement, school spirit and a winning atmosphere back to the Octagon of Doom. What you and your team have done

has been indescribable and unprecedented for K-State fans. I think I speak for the student body when I say the past season has been one of the best experiences at K-State during my time here. With the season over, it is time to move on to baseball season and gear up for football season. Although I am still sad the season is over, I can’t help but be excited for next season. Sure we lose Clemente and Colon, but we return an all-star cast with Sutton, Pullen and Judge. I’m already scheming and plotting on how to get the best seats for the KU game and penciling in K-State in next year’s bracket. It will be interesting to see what next year holds for the Wildcats. Speaking of next season, does anyone know if Jacob Pullen plans on shaving? I kind of like the way these chops look on me.

Career Cat Chats to be held every Thursday

Dalton Henry Dear Wildcats, When Wayne and I ran for office last spring, one of our main platform issues we called “Real

Connections.” It aimed to increase interaction between K-State students and alumni through providing advice and mentorship as students prepare to enter the workforce. We held multiple meetings with Career and Employment Services and other university groups to talk about ways to achieve these goals. From the conversations the idea of Career Cat Chats was born. These chats are online, CESsponsored chat rooms designed

for K-State students to question working professionals about the job-search process. The resume and cover letter chat held today will feature Troy Teague of Cerner, and Bret Fischer of State Street. Both professionals will be answering questions on how to make your resume and cover letter stand out from other applicants. They will also share helpful resume tips for do’s and don’ts of the trade. Look forward to more Ca-

reer Cat Chats every Thursday throughout the month of April. Future topics include interviewing, networking, job openings and transitioning from college to career. For dates and times, check out the CES Web site at k-state.edu/ ces or look for it in the Planner section on page two of the Collegian. I hope to see many of you in the chat room. Dalton Henry Student Body President

Schools can improve despite lack of funding Drew Morris In the dire financial times we are currently experiencing, the need for more money and jobs sometimes causes us to overlook other important aspects of life. John Covington, the superintendant of the Kansas City, Mo. School District is doing no such thing. He recently released a five-year plan to save the current dismal state of the school district. This plan takes a reduced budget and fewer schools and attempts to bring improved education to the district. Some of the proposed changes include longer school days and a longer school year. Early child-

hood development would become all-day and accept children as young as 3 or 4 years old, according to a Kansas City Star article. According to the same article, a different style of teaching would take place, more of a “Montessori” approach. This approach focuses more on individualized learning plans and a progress scale based more on ability than grades. The plan also allows for children of different ages to be in the same classroom, eliminating the need to push students through to the next grade level. Another one of the proposed changes to the current system is paying teachers based on how their students perform. At first glance this business-like attitude in an education system seems out of place and almost immoral. But if teachers have been asking for more money, why not let them work for it? If an intrinsic desire for money can lead to

better education for the youth of America, then we can stimulate the economy and serve young minds. The Kansas City, Mo. School District has a plan to not only deal with lack of funding and school closings, but also has a plan to improve student performance. Kansas has chosen a different way to deal with the budget cuts. Kansas Rep. Ann Mah, D-Topeka, sponsored a recent rally for more education funding at the state capitol during spring break. Mah said funding in the state of Kansas is “several years behind where we ought to be,” according to a recent Collegian article. The rally attempted to end the budget cuts and revamp the education system with more funding. We’re low on education money in Kansas, and teachers are stepping up to try and stop it. But where is the John Covington of Kansas? Where are the dif-

collegian kansas

From the president’s desk

ferent strategies that deal with the budget cuts not by asking for more money, but by creating strategies that don’t need money to work? In an increasingly smaller job market for teachers, why not make them more competitive by offering result-based wages? Let motivated students excel and the slower students work at their own pace regardless of age. Longer days and a longer school year will help counteract the larger classes and allow students more time with their teachers. While receiving increased funding would be nice, money isn’t the only way to improve schools. People are already working on this problem in Kansas City, Mo. Kansas’s educators should take their hint and start working towards a similar goal. Drew Morris is a senior in journalism and mass communications. Send comments to opinion@spub.ksu.edu.

K-State’s break past due

sports

page 5

Swinging for the Fences

Paul Harris Nice guys do finish last. At least in the world of sports they do. Seriously, what does K-State have to do? As I stood in the airport waiting for the team’s arrival, I looked around at all the purple and thought, “These people would have been here if this team had lost in the second round. These fans look at these players as members of their own family. Now, technically, they are a part of the K-State family.” As the plane landed, I heard one man exclaim, “The boys are home.” It was as if his own children were arriving. K-State fans are different from any other fans in America. The Miami Heat gained a new set of fans the day they drafted Michael Beasley. People take pride in their athletes here. “Once a Wildcat, Always a Wildcat.” I mean, how can you not fall in love with this current team? You have a shooting guard, whose only offer from a power conference came from KState. You have the point guard who left his home country to give his family a better life and succeeded in doing so. You have the center who played every game but one without his mom in the stands. You have the power forward who recaptured his swagger. You have the small forward who transformed his body from beanpole to sixth man of the year in the Big 12. The McDonald’s AllAmerican who never complained about playing time and bought into the team concept. The kid who walked on, earned a scholarship and helped choose the new athletic director. The coach who worked his way up the coaching ladder and is rekindling the fire of a proud program. What more do you need? Denzel? Spielberg? Bruckheimer? I just don’t get it. Kansas State has suffered enough. When does this university get a break? Do we need to be put on probation? And yes, I know K-State has been on probation before. Do we need to stop caring about our players? Treat them like kings when they win and like paupers when they lose? If someone has the answer, please let me know. For crying out loud, the football coach encourages his players write notes thanking the cleaning staff. I am thinking the people of Manhattan need to criticize the team on a regular basis. I think they need to stop showing up unless a winning product is put on the court. Never mind these are just 18 to 21-year-old kids playing for a love of the game. Carry yourself with an air of arrogance and ignorance. As long as we have championships, who cares about a family atmosphere? K-State has done it the right way for a long time. No matter the outcome of this year’s baseball season or next year’s football season, these fans will be “fighting, ever fighting, for a Wildcat victory.” Eventually, the nice guy gets the girl. There is always a happy ending. Hollywood has already rejected a stellar script. I just hope they don’t reject next year’s revision too. Paul Harris is a junior in mass communications.

Junior infielder Carter Jurica got a piece of the baseball during Tuesday’s game against Wichita State, which the Wildcats won 8-3. His kstatesports. com bio calls him one of the top returners from last season’s regional team who will be called upon as a leader as the everyday shortstop.

No. 20 Wildcats to get first Big 12 road challenge Blake Thorson | Collegian

K-State will look to continue its solid start to the season as it travels to Lubbock, Texas to face the Texas Tech Red Raiders (12-15, 2-4) in its first Big 12 road series of the year. The first game begins today at Dan Law Field. The Wildcats come in with a record of 20-3 and sit atop the conference standings with a 3-0 mark. K-State swept a three-game set from Oklahoma State last weekend at Tointon Family Stadium to begin conference play. It was the first time since the inception of the Big 12 that K-State has swept an opening-conference series. Coach Brad Hill and his team have won seven straight, including winning 11 of 12 during their recent homestand. Tuesday night, the Wildcats took down in-state rival Wichita State 8-3 in front of a record crowd to push their win streak against the Shockers to four. The Wildcats head to Lubbock with momentum, especially at the plate, as they have a .362 team batting average in their last five games. K-State lit up the Cowboys’ pitching staff for 36 runs in three games to start conference play. This does not bode well for a Red Raider pitching staff that has been less than stellar thus far on the year, compiling a Big 12-worst 6.64 team ERA. The balance for the Wildcats has been a team strength as they carry a collective batting average of .341 which is tied for the conference lead

with Oklahoma State. They also lead the conference in runs and stolen bases on the year and rank in the top half of nearly all of the major categories. Junior shortstop Carter Jurica has lived up to his preseason-All Big 12 billing and then some. The Katy, Texas product has hit .409 with four home runs and 33 RBI, while ranking in the top five in seven different categories in the Big 12. Sophomore Nick Martini has also been as good as advertised following his freshman All-American season. Martini heads to Lubbock with a .374 average and a 20game hit streak, which is the third longest in the nation and in third in school history. K-State ranks fourth in the conference with a team ERA of 3.67. Tech ranks last in runs allowed, hits allowed and walks allowed. Meanwhile, K-State ranks in the top five in all three of those categories, including ranking third in the NCAA in fewest walks allowed per nine innings. A major reason for this success on the mound has been the three weekend starters for the Wildcats. Right-handers Ryan Daniel and Evan Marshall and left-hander Kyle Hunter are scheduled to pitch again this weekend. The trio has combined to post an 11-0 record with a solid 3.00 ERA in 18 starts. Although the matchup may appear one-sided on paper, Hill and his team know anything can happen in Big 12 play. Last year, the Red Raiders took two out of three from

Justin Lindsey, pitcher, throws some heat down the middle toward a Wichita State player during the baseball game Tuesday evening. Lindsey pitched 5 innings and gave up four hits and three runs. the Wildcats in Manhattan. “I know the wind is going to be blowing out in Lubbock like it always is,” Hill said. “Our pitchers are going to have to be really tough. I’m hoping we can keep it rolling. Hopefully we keep playing at the level we’re playing at.”

First pitch is scheduled for 6:30 p.m. today at Dan Law Field. The game will be televised on Fox College Sports and it is also available on SportsRadio 1350 KMAN.

Women’s Tennis

Wildcats shut out Jayhawks for first time ever Danny Davis | Collegian

Nina Sertic, sophomore, gets ready to return the ball.

The women’s tennis team shut out the rival Kansas Jayhawks 7-0 yesterday afternoon. This was the first time in the team’s history to shut out the Jayhawks. Head coach Steve Bietau said he never stopped to think about that fact, but he was not surprised. He said the team won as a result of their strength and conditioning program, which is led by coach Aaron Arnold. “Or players were pretty fit and mentally ready to handle the match,” Bietau said. “To an extent, I think that KU gave us an opportunity today to the extent that neither team played well in doubles.” Recently, the Wildcats have been hampered by poor doubles performance, which included losing all of their doubles matches last weekend against Iowa State. For this week’s match, the team made some changes to the doubles teams by pairing different players together. “It’s an area of concern and remains a concern until we play at level I expect us to play at,” he said. Bietau said he thinks the doubles victories early in the match helped set the tone for the singles matches. Although

they won their doubles matches, he said they need to improve so they can face tougher competition in the future. Nina Sertic, sophomore, won her first singles victory since the end of February. She has been playing at the number two position in the lineup. Bietau said the team has its weakest record at the number two position and that from the beginning of the season, they knew it would be hard to win at that position. “Nina has had a tough task because she’s the player that’s been at that spot more than anybody,” he said. “Nina has hung in there through some tough stuff, just like Antea Huljev (junior) has at number one.” If Sertic continues at that level of performance, she can get her confidence back and boost team morale for the rest of the season, Bietau said. The Wildcats matchups will be on the road against No. 71 Colorado on April 9 and Missouri on April 11. “That’s a tough weekend, partly because of the teams we’re playing and the travel involved,” Bietau said. He said he was thrilled with the win today, but the team needs to continue to improve. The coach said the most important factor to consider is how well they

Secret Sunday Brunch

Happy Valley offers Dim Sum menu on Sundays

Sara Manco | collegian

Pan-fried leek mini pie, shu mai (pork with dough) and Chinese salad with starch noodles are three of the many options on the dim sum menu at Happy Valley Chinese Restaurant in Aggieville. Happy Valley is the only restaurant in Manhattan to offer a Dim Sum menu.

Jason Strachman Miller After more than a year of selfishness, I decided it was time to share a little gem I found here in Manhattan. Friends and family have asked me to reconsider, but I came to the conclusion that I owed it to my fellow K-Staters to stop being greedy. Dim sum: yes, two simple words, but the joy those words will bring to your taste buds will leave you smiling all week. While our small city lacks a variety of foods from other nations, Happy Val-

ley offers customers a trip to China every Sunday from 11 a.m.- 2 p.m. Dim sum, meaning “to touch the heart,” was originally a Cantonese custom linked to the Chinese tradition of “yum cha” or drinking tea. Originally the Chinese did not eat food while drinking tea for fear of excessive weight gain. As people learned of tea’s ability to aid in digestion, the tea house owners began adding a variety of snacks to their menu and the tradition of dim sum, as we know it, was born. Dim sum arrived in America with Chinese immigrants in the 19th century and has been an alternative to Sunday Brunch ever since. Some in the food industry go so far as to credit dim sum for birthing the idea for brunch. These tiny treasures were brought to Manhattan by Xiu Xiang, Cuo Ting Li and their daughter Amy Cuo. They are originally from Harbin, in the Heilongjiang Province of China.

Happy Valley’s dim sum creates quite a stir amongst my group of friends, who pour from bed Sunday morning ready to indulge in the vast array of foods we order. Upon being seated one must ask for the dim sum menu. “Dim sum is not that popular in Manhattan, ” said Xiongjie Dong, server at Happy Valley and senior in electrical engineering. “A lot of people have not heard of it. I ask my American friends if they know dim sum, and most of them say no.” Dong has been working at Happy Valley for two years. He lists the red bean paste mini pie, shu mai, Chinese burrito and the Shrimp dumplings among the most popular items. Dim sum eaters are easily identified for their smiling faces and eclectic variety of food on the table. Many of the dishes are steamed, pan-fried or deepfried and come in an order of two or four. With 35 menu options to choose from, any palate will

leave satisfied. Among the deep-fried options, the phoenix-tailed shrimp and spring rolls appear on many tables, while the panfried goodness of shu mai --a meatfilled soft wanton-- and pork buns always fill mine. The pan-fried pork buns are nearly always sold out by noon, so don’t show up late if you’re looking for them. After a long Saturday night, these foods have you feeling good. If you are seeking lighter fare, the steamed items will leave you feeling full and ready for the day. Steamed Crystal Shrimp Dumplings and steamed pork spareribs will have you leaving your table arguing over how many each person ate. The dumplings are made before Sunday, but the mini pie, shu mai, pork bun and Chinese burritos are made fresh that day. Sorry to those few regulars I see each Sunday. I did not ruin our little secret, I just feel it too great to not share with our community. Jason Strachman Miller is a junior in mass

Seven ways to save money for those little extras later Danielle Spellmeier Save then spend if you Truly want something Have you ever gone into a store and you find something you really like, but it’s way expensive? I have. It is no fun at all to want something you can-

not have. This can be avoided entirely if you budget some of your funds towards saving for that thing you just can’t live without. I’ve come up with a few tips for how to save money. Maybe they can help prevent you from standing in a store and coveting an item, thinking to yourself, “If only I could afford this.” 1. If you have a job, try and save about 20 percent of what you make. Some places can have this automatically taken out of your paycheck and put into a savings account. If you are not able to save this much, then do

what you can. Five dollars from every paycheck adds up over time. 2. Wait until what you want goes on sale. Yes, it might take a year, but you will save more if you do it. 3. Plan ahead. If you know you want something, then plan ahead and make sure it is in your budget. 4. Split the cost with someone -- friend, roommate, sibling, someone you trust enough to invest with. If you are not friends with the person, don’t do it. 5. Stop impulse buying. Do you really need that new DVD

or CD? If you don’t completely like what you buy, then don’t buy it. More than likely someone else has that CD and they’ll let you put it on your iTunes library. 6. For purchases more than $100, spend about five minutes making sure you are getting a good deal and you can easily afford the item. If you are convinced, use the 30-day rule. Put the purchase on hold for 30 days. If you still want it after 30 days and you can afford it, go for it. 7. Only pay with cash when you go out. Set aside a certain

amount of money every month for eating out, buying groceries, and whatever else you spend your money on. Once it’s gone, it’s gone. Wait until next month to go out to eat with your friends. Saving a few bucks for what you want is not a hard thing to do. You just have to make sure you do it so you can get what you want when you want, so you don’t have to worry about it when you can’t afford it.

End of an Era

Evil Dictator’s reign comes to sudden stop due to death Karen Ingram A freak accident has claimed the life of K-State’s self-proclaimed Evil Dictator, Karen Ingram, sophomore in English. Ingram’s four week long reign of terror came to an abrupt and bizarre end early yesterday when a flying piano landed on top of her. The piano, which is already being heralded as a community hero, was being hoisted to a room on the third floor of Nichols Hall when a cable snapped, causing it to be launched across campus like a catapult. It landed on Ingram, who was walking across Bosco Student Plaza, presumably plotting something evil. There were no other injuries reported in the accident, and witnesses claim that Ingram’s final words were “Is that a flying piano?” “First time I’ve ever seen anything like it,” said one witness, who wished to remain anonymous. “Death by pianopult.” Kirk Schulz, President of K-State, was also a witness to the deadly event. Schulz was unavailable for comment, as he was laughing too hard to speak. He was later transported to Mercy Hospital to be treated for his acute case of the giggles, for fear he might give himself a hernia if he didn’t stop. In accordance with Ingram’s will, all students, faculty, and staff of KState are required to attend her memorial service at Snyder Family Stadium. They will be forced to watch a two-hour long slideshow entitled “The Legacy of the Karen” while singing “Ding, Dong, the Wicked Witch is Dead.” For safety reasons, Ingram’s body will be cremated and her remains will be shot into the sun by means of a rocket. “We don’t want to take the chance of this one coming back,” said Captain Don Stubbins of the K-State Police. “As evil as she was, it wouldn’t surprise me at all if she transformed into a zombie, or an orc, or a zomborc. For the sake of humanity, we must ensure she’s vaporized.”

Illutration by Erin Logan The piano responsible for Ingram’s death, which has been named “Chuck” by admirers, will be repaired and put on display in the Union. Chuck has already gained a lot of admirers. Flowers, poetry, e-mails and love notes to Chuck have been pouring in from students and alumni across the country. “You did what

none of us had the guts to,” read one note. “I love you, Chuck!” Plans are already in progress to include Chuck in the Homecoming parade this fall, triggering some criticism from a concerned few. “I don’t think all of this attention is healthy for Chuck,” said Amy Lara, assistant professor of philosophy. “You

mark my words. Chuck is going to get drunk on his own power, and then we’re going to be in worse trouble than we ever were with Karen Ingram. How do you stop a flying piano that thinks it’s king of the world? It can’t be done.” Karen Ingram is a sophomore in English. Send comments to opinion@spub.ksu.edu.

Purple skyscraper to replace Anderson Editors recall Editor’s note: The following story is entirely fabricated and fictitious for the purpose of April Fool’s Day. None of the sources used were actually quoted.

Tim Schrag | Collegian A personal letter reveals a presidential plot to build an administrative palace or is simply a possible prank by a precocious feline. Kansas State University’s Anderson Hall, home of the offices of K-State’s president, provost, registrar, dean of student life and many others will cease to exist in a matter of months. According to a letter from K-State President Kirk Schulz addressed to the editorial board of the Kansas State Collegian, the administration announced its decision to destroy the 131-yearold building and erect a 25-story purple skyscraper in its place. The cost of the project is yet to be determined, but is expected to exceed $100 million and will resemble the shape of the powercat from an aerial view. “K-State needs to find new and innovative ways to advertise the KState

brand,” Schulz said in the letter. “Constructing a 25-story powercat just seems like a good idea.” The building is expected to take 10 years to complete but is expected to formally open before the K-State Parking Garage’s ribbon-cutting ceremony. During construction the offices that currently occupy Anderson Hall will be placed in military tents, on loan from Fort Riley, on the lawn adjacent to the building until construction is complete. Besides the current offices that occupy Anderson Hall it is expected that the unused floors will go unused. The letter lays out no further details but asked the editorial board not to run the letter in full nor reveal its contents to anyone. “Your cooperation is greatly appreciated,” Schulz wrote. Schulz declined to comment to the Collegian on the topic. K-State media relations could not be reached to confirm or deny

the announcement. Anderson Hall is one of the oldest buildings on campus and is nationally recognized on the register of historic places since 1980. In 1877, the state legislature appropriated $12,500 in funds for the north wing of the main college building, an appropriation of $20,000 was made for the construction of the south wing in 1883, and it was completed in 1884. The hall was designed by E. T. Carr, an architect from Leavenworth. “I think it’s outrageous that the administration wants to demolish such a historic building,” said Corene Brisendine, editor-in-chief of the Kansas State Collegian. Student Body President Dalton Henry, senior in agri-

cultural communications and journalism, could not be reached for comment on the topic, but it is believed that he is currently missing in action. Concerns about the letter’s legitimacy have been raised after several members of the editorial board further investigated the letter. The letter was delivered to the newsroom at about 5:50 a.m. by a dark figure resembling K-State’s mascot Willie the Wildcat, but the security cameras at Student Publications, Inc., are still being reviewed by campus police to determine the letter courier’s identity. The letter was found jammed in the newsroom door by the Collegian’s online editor Owen Praeger, junior in mathematics and computer science. It was placed in an envelope titled: “Happy April 1 Suckers!” Any information regarding the whereabouts of the courier or the letter’s origin is welcomed by the editorial board of the Kansas State Collegian.

The final part of their show was in a game show format, called “Jew or Not Jew.” Pictures of celebrities were shown on screen and participating audience members had to guess whether they are Jewish or not. After that, members of the audience stood up to allow Tish to guess whether or not they were Jewish. Contestants in neither portion of the show had much success, which was the point of the show. “I liked the game show because you can’t just look at somebody and go ‘they’re this, they’re that,’” said Tiffany McFarlane, freshman in open option. Jones and Tish said to solve the problems facing America, people must face them, and that is the purpose of their show. “America may be our last chance at getting it right… for everybody,” Jones said. The duo invite any person wishing to continue the dialogue to join in discussions on their Facebook Fan Page. A link to the page may be found at their website theblackjewdialogues.com

More than 60 people came to the K-State Student Union Ballroom to laugh, gasp and listen intently to the stories told by Judge Glenda Hatchett on Wednesday. Hatchett spoke for more than an hour, addressing issues of juvenile crime, foster care, poverty and other social problems, both past and present, facing the country. “She’s a really good woman,” said Brandon Hall, junior in marketing and president of the Black Student Union. “The Black Student Union is really proud to have her come to K-State.” Hatchett made it clear to the audience immediately she had no intention of being a conventional speaker. “This podium’s got to go,” Hatchett said. “It’s between me and you.” Both the podium and microphone were removed, but Hatchett’s voice easily filled the room. Periodically, she moved around to be more personal with the audience, speaking directly to individuals and reacting to their comments. La’Tonya Ramsey, freshman in art education, said she enjoyed the conversational approach Hatchett took. “She makes good valid points that people can relate to,” Ramsey said. Hatchett, who is best known for her TV show, is a judge in one of the nation’s largest juvenile court systems, located in Atlanta. Previously, she worked for Delta Airlines for almost 10 years, where she held the distinction of being the highest ranking African-American woman for the company. Hatchett said she was reluctant at first to give up her job at Delta when she was asked to become a judge for the juvenile court system in Atlanta but soon discovered her passion was to help children. A mother of two children, Hatchett said working in juvenile court, “made me appreciative of children who are happy, healthy and cen-

tered.” Hatchett said there has been a significant increase of children in the foster care system as a direct result of the economic recession. In the past, it was common for children to be in foster care because of abuse or neglect. Now, children are in foster care because their families lost their jobs or their homes and could no longer afford to care for them. Hatchett strongly advocated after school activities to keep children off of the streets and prevent them from turning to crime. She encouraged people to get involved on any level they could, such as tutoring or volunteering for organizations like CASA, which provides one-on-one attention for children in the court system. In her final tale for the evening, Judge Hatchett told the audience about her experience in first grade in Atlanta’s public school system. After much waiting, they had finally received “new” books, only to discover they were old books thrown away by the white school. When it was her turn to read, she could not, because the page was missing from her book. She asked the teacher after class for a new one, who sadly told her colored children did not get new books. When she got home and told her father about the injustice, he told her to “write your own story.” She passed on this advice, which she has applied to her entire life, to the audience. Hatchett received a standing ovation from the crowd. Then, in spite of having a 5 a.m. flight back to Atlanta the next morning, she stayed to speak to each member of the audience who came up to her after the lecture. Hatchett said she enjoyed visiting colleges, whenever her hectic schedule allowed her to, and speaking to students. “I always try to make these invitations a priority because it’s important to connect with young people,” Hatchett said.
