Dustin Unruh falls to the ground after being bucked off a tumbling bull. A rodeo clown tries to distract the bull’s attention away from Unruh to ensure the safety of the fallen rider. Unruh was a competitor in the 54th annual K-State Rodeo in Weber Arena this weekend.

An American flag was presented in the middle of Weber Arena Friday night as rodeo announcer Pat Grover introduced “the most beautiful song in the world,” The StarSpangled Banner. The crowd stood as it sang the national anthem, and the 54th annual K-State Rodeo began. “This rodeo is really exciting since it’s the hometown, and the crowd was huge,” said second-year team captain Becky Anderson, junior in agribusiness. “I really like competing here.” According to Grover, home rodeos tend to be the toughest for competitors. Anderson agreed that there was more pressure to do well in front of friends and family than away in front of a crowd of strangers. Team

member Morgan Lindsay, freshman in business, said this rodeo was the teams’ first indoor rodeo of the year and the environment was very different. In Weber Arena, the crowd was closer to the arena and it added another level of thrill. “It’s a bowl, and everybody is watching you,” Lindsay said. “It’s very adrenalinepumping.” The team has four fall rodeos and six spring rodeos it attends each year, only one of which is at home. Since the K-State Rodeo Club is not funded by the university, they must do raise funds and find sponsors to both host and compete in rodeos. Rodeo team member Michael Wimer, sophomore in animal sciences and industry, said it takes a full year of preparation to plan and host a flourishing rodeo.

“It was a very successful rodeo compared to the others,” said Jolie Van Petten, junior in elementary education. “I was proud at how the team came together and put on a good performance for everyone.” K-State rodeo coach Doug Muller, agriculture teacher at Manhattan High School, said he thought the rodeo was a success between the excellent stock selection and the professionalism of how things were run. During the bull riding event, a student from a competing school scored 91 points; according to Muller, the average at the college level is usually in the eighties, showing what a good selection there was. Many of the KState students won cash prizes and earned their first points of the year.

The Union Courtyard was transformed into a design studio Friday evening. Teams of students furiously constructed eco-friendly apparel for K-State’s “Project Runway” competition. Designers used model forms, floor space and human bodies to design, fit and adjust their items. Rucha Mandlick, graduate student in architecture, had her model, Taneysha Howard, wearing a skirt as it was pinned together. Mandlick found out about the competition from a friend. Howard stood nervously still as Mandlick placed pins into the tape and newspaper skirt. “I’m enjoying this experience,” Howard said. “I’m just really excited.” Eleven designers had a mere few hours to design and put together an outfit out of materials provided by the Union Program Council. Lisbeth Bailey, assistant director of the K-State Student Union, said the UPC team provided all the materials for the competition, but students were allowed one “wild card” item they could add to the pile. “It was highly encouraged that the item be recycled, but not a requirement,” Bailey said. “The majority of the outfit had to be materials we provided.”

The designers worked in the courtyard for more than four hours before adjourning to a private room for dressing the models. As the models and designers made their way to the stage at 10 p.m., celebrity fashion designer Nick Verreos took the stage for a presentation. Verreos opened with the story of his arrival into Manhattan Regional Airport. “I loved it, oh my goodness,” Verreos said. “The plane landed,

we got off, then there’s a door and then there’s the terminal.” Verreos spoke to a crowd of more than 200 people in Forum Hall prior to the runway show. After sharing some anecdotes, Verreos spoke about the importance of eco-friendly and sustainable fabric and emphasized the responsibility designers have to the environment while a slideshow of his collection ran on the screen behind him. Verreos said many countries that mass-produce clothing use many pesticides and other harmful chemicals that become part of the

Nick Verreos, contestant on “Project Runway Season 2” and co-founder of Nikolaki Design, speaks with K-State’s Project Runway models on Friday. The modeling took place in Forum Hall of the K-State Student Union.

The materials provided ranged from newspaper and magazines to different colored duct tape and plastic bags. Some students brought markers as their extra item, while others chose paint or re-used fabric. K-State senior in apparel and textiles, Kelsey Hendricks, fine tuned a corset with her roommate, Brigitte Bruna, senior in graphic design. Hendricks used her wildcard item, a black trash bag, as the dress beneath the corset. “I think it’s great that K-State is trying to let people know about our responsibilities and promoting reusing and recycling,” Bruna said.

Unruh, Oliver found in violation General elections for the president and vice president of the Student Governing Association are coming up next week, and tensions are running high among the candidates. Sunday, a meeting was held at 10 a.m. in the K-State Student Union to determine if Danny Unruh and Annie Oliver’s campaign was in violation of campaign regulations. On Friday, the campaign managers for Sam Brinton and Molly McGuire and the campaign team for Doug Shane and Brandon West, co-filed a complaint of campaign violation against Unruh, junior in food science and industry and political science, and Oliver, junior in life sciences. The issue lay in Unruh and Oliver’s expense report, which is a detailed account of the expenses of the campaign. Thomas Sidlinger, senior in political science and a member of the campaign team for Brinton, senior in applied music and mechanical engineering, and McGuire, junior in political science and speech, said his team had examined Unruh and Oliver’s expenses. He said they found the retail values of the posters and fliers purchased for the campaign misleading. Sidlinger said the prices quoted for how much it cost to produce the fliers and the

Sam Brinton and Molly McGuire’s campaign has had to do some rearranging — taking down posters and recalling T-shirts — after it was found in violation of using trademarked property as a part of the campaign. The violation complaint, which was filed Feb. 17 by Ben Musil, sophomore in hotel and restaurant management, stated that the Brinton and McGuire campaign used trademarked or copyrighted property of KState in their campaign slogan, “my kstate, your kstate, our kstate.” Brinton, senior in applied music and mechanical engineering, and McGuire, junior in political science and speech, said they in no way intended to violate the rules of the campaign. They also said that when picking their slogan, they specifically took out the hyphen from K-State in order to be compliant with all campaign rules. They said “kstate” was not on the list of logos said to be protected by copyright. “We wouldn’t have done something purposely to violate the rules,” McGuire said. “We followed regulations as best possible.” Brinton and McGuire said they did not intend for their slogan to show that K-State was supporting their

Too Long to Wait

State commissions would cut years innocents found guilty serve

Joe Sommers Last week, a man in North Carolina was released after a panel of judges ruled he had been wrongfully convicted of murdering a prostitute. Gregory F. Taylor, who had been in jail since 1991 after receiving a life sentence, was released after a special commission discovered he had been convicted on what the judges decided was flawed evidence and unreliable

testimony. The reason this case is noteworthy is not just because a wrongfully imprisoned man was freed, but also because it was made possible through the North Carolina Innocence Inquiry Commission. The eight-member commission, which was created in 2006, investigates post-conviction claims and decides if there is sufficient new evidence to overturn the conviction. It then hands the case over to a special threejudge panel that gives an official ruling. The commission is currently the only one of its kind in the United States, which is something that needs to change. According to the Innocence Project, a nonprofit organization representing those who claim they were falsely im-

prisoned, there have been 251 postconviction DNA exonerations in this country since 1989. The average term served by those exonerated is 13 years. While our justice system is not the worst in the world, it has too many problems to ignore the likelihood of false convictions. Unlike shows on television, there is rarely conclusive evidence found in murder cases. Much of our current court system relies on the decisions of jurors and how they interpret the evidence. Whether intentional or not, jurors sometimes let their own prejudices or opinions influence their decisions. The fact that some lawyers are paid substantially higher than others makes it very evident that there is something wrong with our current system of jus-

tice. There is no reason people should receive worse representation just because of their economic standing. The skills of a lawyer should never be the reason people lose their freedoms, or even their lives. A commission like the one in North Carolina alleviates some of our current problems. The courts are often slow and reluctant to consider whether they made a mistake. However, it would be the very job of them to ensure all those who feel they have evidence that exonerates them are heard. Because of these factors, it is important that each state adopts a commission similar to the one in North Carolina. Joe Sommers is a senior print journalism.

to the point

K-State Proud promotes kindness, positive image of school 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 opinion.

Students have the chance this week to make a difference by purchasing something college students love — T-shirts. Students from the K-State Proud campaign, which has raised more than $250,000 in the past three years, will be selling shirts for $10 in the K-State Student Union this week to raise money for others. Students should support this campaign because it shows solidarity in the student body, something that is difficult to accomplish with such a large, diverse on-cam-

pus population. The success of the campaign in past years shows KState students’ support of each other, which is something to be commended. Despite the difficult economy and tight budgets, students are supporting one another, instead of being self-focused. The T-shirts also present a united front not only from the student body, but also the entire K-State community at the culmination of K-State Proud Week — Saturday’s game against Missouri. The game, which starts at 7 p.m., will be televised on ESPNU. The Proud Campaign gives K-State fans the chance to fill Bramlage Coliseum entirely with purple, only adding

to the intimidation of the Octagon of Doom. In 2010, the fourth year of the campaign, K-State students have improved marketing of the event, showing the rest of the United States and even the world what K-State is all about. The Proud video on YouTube.com called “Students Helping Students” has almost 12,000 views. The video clip, which was produced by the Digital Ethonography class, shows students lending a hand to other students, whether that be by purchasing their lunch or textbooks or carrying them across the street. Michael Wesch, honorary co-chair of the campaign,

teaches the class. On the class’s blog, he wrote that the students in the video, which he said make up the “Flash Mob of Kindness,” show that the campaign is much more than a shirt, but really students helping students. The comments on the YouTube video are overwhelmingly positive, with many users saying the clip makes them proud to be a Wildcat. People who say they go to school in Europe commented, saying they were impressed with the campaign. One person even wrote that the video made KState seem like a great place to apply for college. To really show pride, students need to back the campaign whole-heartedly. So this

week when you’re walking by the table in the Union, think about stopping for a shirt. You are promoting kindness and buying a cool new T-shirt, and we could all use more of both.

U.S. would protect marriage more if cared about collegian kansas

David Rose In the past few years, many on the political right have fought and won in cases against allowing gay marriage. Following the logic used to justify these limits, I offer a new proposal. The United States should ban interest rates of all kinds. That means credit cards, savings accounts and almost every banking activity. Some might now cry, “But these are the foundations of our capitalist society!” But I say to them, nay, charging any kind of interest is an immoral abomination in God’s eyes. Furthermore, the debt caused by so many credit cards, loans and other interestgenerating affairs has ruined far too many marriages. Thus, follow-

ing the logic used to ban so many gay marriages, we should now also ban interest. Many who read the Bible will note a distinct lack of references to “interest” in that holy text. However, the Bible does in fact speak against charging interest on many occasions, though often under a different name — usury. For example, Exodus 22:25 states, “If you lend money to any of my people ... you shall not charge him interest.” Or look to the story of Jesus’ tirade in Jerusalem against the money changers. The Bible also goes on to state that the punishment for charging usury/interest is death. Not unlike certain homosexual acts. Interest, and the debt it creates in society, also leads to many divorces. The title of a USA Today article from 2006 speaks for itself: “Many marriages today are ‘til debt do us part.” The article goes on to state that many couples identified spending or debt as the biggest pressures on their marriages. This has become even more true as our economy strug-

gles and many families find at least one partner without a job. These tough economic times strain many relationships, often to the point of breaking. We as a nation need to reverse this trend and end the evil practices of usury and charging interest. To achieve this anti-interest goal, we need to end all of the practices I described above. Down with the banks. Without them, we wouldn’t have fallen into the economic recession we are in now anyway. Down with credit cards. We can buy all of our purchases with cold hard cash. Down with savings accounts. Withdraw all of your money and get to spending, our economy needs it. Of course, I write much of this tongue-in-cheek. Though financial troubles burden many marriages, there is no possible way our economy could function without the capital made available through credit and debit, savings and loans. But that brings me back to gay marriage. If we as a nation truly cared about protecting the institution

of marriage, we would be doing more to save marriages from the pitfalls of a turbulent economy. If we truly valued marriage as a religious and sacred institution, we would use the overwhelming biblical evidence to ban other activities, especially charging interest, as well. Finally, we have examples of the successful implementation of gay marriage in other nations. Many Scandinavian countries and other European nations have granted permission for gay people to marry. Those nations still have strong marriage rates and low divorce rates, some even better than before they instituted gay marriage. America is not, nor has it ever been, a nation to recognize laws based solely on religious grounds. The institution of marriage, which should be extended to all people, is no different.

3 men earn title of ‘gentleman’ for efforts on campus Tiara Williams | Collegian Friday night was one for “unsung heroes” as three men were recognized for the work they do — often outside of the public eye. “There are so many men on this campus that put forth so much work and they go unrecognized, so we use this event to recognize those whose work goes unnoticed,” said Deborah Muhwezi, senior in mass communications and president of Delta Sigma Theta Sorority. Friday night in the Flint Hills Room of the K-State Student Union, the sorority put on its second annual DSTinguished Gents award ceremony. Three multicultural men — Kerry Gooch, Abraham Alem and Brandon Clark — were recognized for their commitment to three categories: brotherhood, scholarship and service. Deborah Muhwezi said she hopes the event will continue in the future. “We hope to continue to really recognize those young men who are really doing a lot of things on campus, and we hope this encourages other men to do the right thing,” she said. “It is nice to be rewarded,

“His service and dedication exemplifies his shameless love for making our community a better place, which finds him a delightful treat.”

Abdulrasheed Yahaya,

junior in computer science of Brandon Clark, A DSTinguished Gents award winner

and I am glad my sorority has taken the time out to do so.” Each man was given a title to go along with his award.

Kerry Gooch: “Man of Business”

Gooch, sophomore in political science, earned the award for brotherhood. A proud member of Kappa Alpha Psi Fraternity, Student Governing Association’s intern program, Union Programming Council’s executive board, New Student Support chair for the Black Student Union and one of the creators of K-State’s new Multicultural Pre-Law Society, Gooch earned his private pilot license at K-State Salina last year. Although he has only been at K-State for a short while, he has already made his mark on campus, said Angela Muhwezi, sophomore in biology and member of the sorority. His passionate work ethic and uplifting spirit inspires those people he encounters. Among his peers, he has been referred to as “the realest person I know” and “a brother among brothers,” she said. Gooch said he was surprised when he learned about the DSTinguished Gents Award “I didn’t think I would get anything for what I did on campus,” he said. “It confused me, like maybe they contacted the wrong person.” Gooch said he is thankful for the award as it has inspired him to do more. “I feel like I didn’t do anything worthy of recognition, but it is cool that people are watching me and notice what I do even when I am not expecting people to see my work as I am not looking for recognition,” he said.

Abraham Alem: “Man of Suave

like a New Yorker”

Alem, who earned the award for scholarship, grew up in Ethiopia and education has always been important to his family. From an early age, Alem, senior in electrical engineering, was interested in electronics and learned about computers from his father. Alem paid for college out of his own pocket from the start and did not receive his first scholarship until three years into his college career. He is a Tilford Dow scholar, a tutor for the pilots program, chapter president of National Society of Black Engineers and chairman for Engineering a Dream. Alem is looking toward graduation and either employment or graduate school opportunities for his future, Deborah Muhwezi said. Alem thanked his mother immensely because he would not be where he is without her love and support.

Brandon Clark: “Man of Honor”

For the past six years, Clark has worked as the assistant director of multicultural programs for the K-State Alumni Association. As of Jan. 25, 2010, he is the academic services coordinator for K-State’s Upward Bound Program while working on his master’s degree in college student personnel. “I do what I do out of my love and passion for K-State and working with K-State students,” said Clark, who earned the service award. Clark is in the process of finishing his second year as state director for Alpha Phi Alpha Fraternity. He serves as a co-adviser to the Black Student Union, mentor for the mentor/mentee program and conference adviser for the Big 12 Conference. He was involved on campus as a past

The woman in question saw a person walking with what she thought were grocery bags and stopped to offer a ride because of the cold weather, according to the report. The woman said she would have not have stopped had she known the person was a child, according to the report. The RCPD concluded its investigation into this incident and determined it was a misunderstanding, according to the report. Chelsy Lueth | collegian

The Doug Talley Jazz Quartet Katy Schultz | Collegian The bass boomed and the rhythm section rocked at 7:30 p.m. Friday night at the C.L. Hoover Opera House in Junction City as the Junction City High School Jazz Band opened for the Doug Talley Jazz Quartet. The high schoolers invited members of the quartet to assist them in a few numbers, and ended their time on the stage with Mike Carubia’s 2009 arrangement of “Buffalo

Wings.” After a brief intermission, the Doug Talley Jazz Quartet took the stage with Cole Porter’s “Night and Day.” Doug Talley, the quartet’s charming leader and humble saxophone player, introduced his fellow musicians: Wayne Hawkins, the pianist, James Albright, the bassist, and Keith Kavanaugh, the drummer. The concert carried on with performances of jazz tunes the audience had selected during Junction City High’s time in the spotlight.

Most of the concert consisted of classic jazz pieces from composers like George Gershwin, Paul Desmond and Cole Porter, but the third tune was a piece by Talley himself, a movement from his “Kansas City Suite,” a Latin-inspired melody about the Plaza. A series of Duke Ellington pieces, “Take the A Train,” “In A Sentimental Mood” and “Caravan,” which the K-State Marching Band performed with the Boston Brass during a halftime show, ended the concert.

Star Performance

Martin: Teamwork showcases players Justin Nutter | Collegian NORMAN, Okla. — As it has been so many times this season for the men’s basketball team, it was once again a tale of two halves. Powered by its depth, athleticism and solid defense, No. 7 K-State used a big second half to knock off Oklahoma 8368 on Saturday in the Lloyd Noble Center. Leading by just a pair at halftime, the Wildcats (22-4, 9-3 Big 12 Conference), used a series of runs to take down the Sooners (13-13, 4-8 Big 12), who lost for just the second time this season on their own floor. “Congrats to K-State,” Oklahoma head coach Jeff Capel said after the game. “They are a very, very good basketball team. They’ve really got a chance to have a really good run in the NCAA Tournament. They’re older, they’re tough, got a veteran backcourt.” That backcourt — Denis Clemente and Jacob Pullen — had its way offensively for most of the night, as the Wildcat guards combined for 41 points, including Clemente’s game-high 27. The senior from Bayamon, Puerto Rico, knocked down clutch shot after clutch shot, extinguishing several Oklahoma comeback attempts and keeping the Sooner faithful in their seats. Arguably his biggest shot of the night came midway through the final period and jump-started what would prove to be the knockout punch for the Wildcats. With 14:31 to go, Oklahoma’s Tommy Mason-Griffin – who led the Sooners with 16 points – connected on a 3-pointer to cut K-State’s lead to 50-49. But Clemente responded, draining a trey of his own, which ignited a 21-7 run that ultimately put the game out of reach. Clemente’s scoring

effort marked his sixth 20-point game of the season, which head coach Frank Martin said he believes is a product of the whole team’s progression. “Contrary to what many people’s opinion is, he’s continued to play the way I ask him to play it, and now the game’s becoming a little easier,” Martin said. “People can’t zone in on him as much because Jake gets going, because we’ve got guys at the rim who can finish plays.” Martin’s theory was validated over the weekend as five Wildcats reached double figures. Pullen and forward Curtis Kelly each had 14 points while forwards Jamar Samuels and Dominique Sutton added 12 and 11, respectively. Sutton, averaging just 7.8 points per game, has seemingly found an offensive rhythm. The junior from Durham, N.C., scored 32 points in his last two games, including a 5-of-7 clip from beyond the arc. He had made zero 3-pointers prior to that stretch. “Dominique continues to grow,” Martin said. “Offensively, you look at his assist-toturnover numbers in the maybe the last 10 games or so, and it’s ridiculous what he’s doing.” Despite being overpowered in the final 20 minutes, the Sooners kept things close in the first half. A 3-pointer by Mason-Griffin broke a 20-20 tie and sparked an 11-3 run that gave Oklahoma a 31-23 lead – its largest of the night. But K-State’s defense solidified as it held the Sooners to just four free throws and no field goals in the final 5:21. The Wildcats took advantage offensively as well, ending the half on a 12-2 run en route to their 35-33 lead at intermission. As the Wildcats made their way to the bench

Sports Briefs Equestrian falls to A&M, Baylor The spring season has not fared well for K-State’s equestrian team, as it lost both shows this weekend in Texas. On Friday, No. 3 Texas A&M (8-4) downed sixth-ranked K-State (45) in College Station, Texas, by a score of 14-9. Improving on their past performances, the Wildcats tied with A&M in both Equitation over Fences and Equitation on the Flat 3-3 on each discipline. But the Hunter Seat team’s triumph was not matched in Western; K-State lost 8-3 to the Aggies despite a 5-2 record prior to the meet. The Wildcat Horsemanship and Reining squads also struggled, losing 4-1 and 4-2, respectively. After its loss to A&M, K-State traveled to Waco, Texas, to face No. 7 Baylor (6-5) for the teams’ second meeting of the season. This time, however, the odds were in favor of Baylor, as the Bears won 108. In a reversal of its meeting a day before, K-State’s Hunter Seat squad lost 0-9 in its first shutout, while the Western Squad had success. In Horsemanship, the Wildcats picked up a win over Baylor 3-1, while the Reining team found its own shutout, 5-0.

Women’s Basketball

Sooners erase 21-point deficit, beat Wildcats Tyler Scott | Collegian The K-State women’s basketball team had early success Sunday, leading by as many as 21 points, but fell to Oklahoma’s second half outburst. The Sooners galloped away with a 64-58 victory. The Wildcats had what they wanted going into halftime. A 16-point lead seemed enough to keep them ahead the rest of the way; however, it was not. Head coach Deb Patterson explained the team’s meltdown. “We saw two very different personalities from our team in the first and second half,” Patterson said. “We got real passive and tentative on the offensive end of the floor. We became less aggressive on the boards and over the course of time, for every mistake we made, Oklahoma capitalized.” Oklahoma started early when senior guard Nyeshia Stevenson nailed a 3-pointer off the tip. However, K-State went on two early runs in the first half including a 10-0 spark that lasted five minutes to take the lead at 22-9. K-State held a 34-18 halftime lead, thanks to senior forward Ashley Sweat’s 13 points. Stevenson led the Sooners with 10 points on 4-of-6 shooting. The Wildcats shot 39 percent from the field, including 44 percent from beyond the arc. K-State continued to make shots early in the second half, jumping out to a 43-22 margin with 16 minutes to go. However, this was quickly overlooked when Oklahoma went on a 15-0 run in

just four minutes. “Everybody just came together after a poor first half where we couldn’t match their intensity,” said Oklahoma head coach Sherri Coale. “Amanda Thompson grabbed a great rebound for us, and that helped our team compete at a high level the rest of the way.” Both teams traded baskets late in the game after Oklahoma used its 15-0 run to make things close. Oklahoma then took a one-point lead with 2:10 remaining. The team outplayed the Wildcats the rest of the way to earn the sixpoint decision. Sweat finished with 19 points on 6-of-17 shooting with 0-5 from beyond the arc. Stevenson led the Sooners with 24 points, including four 3-pointers. Thompson also recorded a double-double with 17 points and 11 boards. Oklahoma’s leading scorer coming into the game, junior guard Danielle Robinson, only had two points in the first half but finished with 10, seven below her average. The Sooners were a perfect 13-of-13 from the charity strike, including Robinson’s eight. “I felt like this was a tale of two halves where we were the aggressor in the first,” Sweat said. “It’s all about mental toughness. “Once they scored two baskets in the second half and we were up by 15, you would have felt like it was a two-point game. That’s when we were back on our heels, and it’s something we can’t let happen.” The Wildcats had nine first-half steals, but only one in the second. They finished the game shooting

rodeo | Junior crowned Miss Rodeo K-State Continued from Page 1 “This weekend worked out pretty well for me,” Wimer said. “But there’s always room for improvement on my part.” Both the men’s and women’s teams consist of four participating members for each rodeo. Who will compete on the team each weekend is selected by the captains and based on overall competition and practice performances. However, other club members can go along to compete individually. While the club pays for 10 people to travel with $100 stipends, the rest of the cost comes out of the students’ pockets, averaging around $250 per weekend. The stipend cost is covered with fundraising and donations. “Being at home has its advantages,” Van Petten said. “Our horses can stay in their barns and sleep well, and we don’t have to worry as much about inclement weather.” The top 10 competitors from the long rounds, held

on Friday, were able to compete again throughout Saturday and Sunday, when the short rounds were held. Twenty schools from Kansas and Oklahoma gathered in Manhattan to compete. Their overall scores were based on the average of both the long and short rounds. Since the theme of the rodeo was “Tough Enough to Wear Pink,” participants who placed first in their event overall were awarded a $25 bonus if they were sporting a pink shirt. “I thought that I did really well with the goats that I had,” Anderson said. “I was really happy to make it to the short round.” Anderson is not only a team leader, but she is also currently ranked No. 1 in the goat tying event for the National Intercollegiate Rodeo Association Central Plains region. The top three places for each event in every region move on to compete in the National Collegiate Rodeo. However, experienced leadership is

not the only force driving the team. According to Muller, Lindsay has been showing some strong improvements, and this was her best rodeo yet. “It gets easier after the first few rodeos,” Lindsay said. “You get to know the people around you so it’s not nearly as intimidating.” Event competitions were not the only thing going on throughout the three-day event; the new Miss Rodeo K-State for 2010 was also crowned. Contestants are chosen based on riding skills, horse knowledge, personality and appearance. The title went to Courtney Hall, junior in feed science and management. “It’s like a beauty pageant, then you add in your knowledge and horse skills,” Van Petten said. The rodeo club will be traveling to Garden City Community College March 5 for its next competition. To keep updated on current rankings, go to Collegerodeo.com.

runway | Verreos: Designers must be eco-friendly, responsible Continued from Page 1 fabric. He told the crowd higher costs can be expected when dealing with eco-friendly products, but designers have a responsibility to themselves to produce safe, quality clothing. Nationally recognized for competing in “Project Runway Season 2,” Verreos has had his own clothing line since 2001. After his presen-

tation, Verreos answered questions ranging from his favorite to win the current Project Runway season to whether he would go into Aggieville for drinks with some fans. As the clock neared 11:30 p.m. K-State Project Runway kicked off with John Deterding, junior in information systems, introducing the judges panel and handing off the microphone to Jasmine Taylor, freshman in animal sciences and

industry, to introduce each contestant. One by one the designers took the stage with their models to speak about their inspirations and concepts. After all the designers finished, the models took one last walk on the stage and were joined by the designers. The judges quickly discussed scores and Taylor announced the top three places, awarding the first $150.

REports | Unruh, Oliver campaign to re-submit expense report Continued from Page 1 posters were the same, when the posters — in most cases — would cost more to produce than the fliers. Sidlinger and Michael Champlin, junior in political science and campaign manager for Brinton and McGuire, said Unruh and Oliver’s campaign expense reports showed the price they paid for their fliers and posters was a discounted price that would not have been available to other campaigns. Unruh and Oliver used the printing company Best Graphics Inc., to produce their fliers and posters and quoted the price to print the materials at $15 each. “We used the Internet to compare prices online,” Sidlinger said. “We called the company to compare quote prices. The price desk had left, so I wouldn’t be able to receive a price quote until Monday.” At Sunday’s hearing, Kathleen Sexton, elections commissioner for the SGA and junior in education, presented the information she found during her investigation. Sexton said she talked to both FedEx Kinkos and Copy Company in Manhattan, and based off 1x2 wake up.crtr - Page 1 - Composite

their quoted prices for a similar print, Unruh and Oliver’s quoted prices for their materials was not realistic. During the hearing, Unruh said that Best Graphics gives discounted print prices for nonprofit organizations, and he also presented a memorandum from the president of the company, Paul Tremonti. The letter stated that any of the other presidential campaigns would receive the same discounted prices that Unruh and Oliver had been quoted. “We believe that the price we will be quoted on Monday was established because the respondent had contacted the organization,” Sidlinger said, in response to the letter. Through more online research, Sidlinger and Champlin said they discovered that Oliver was good friends with the daughter of Tremonti. Champlin said they found Facebook.com photos of the two girls together. “We found photos of them on spring break together,” Sidlinger said. This information was presented at the hearing, and Sexton requested Unruh and Oliver to elaborate more on the relationship between themselves and Tremonti. Oliver and Unruh said

Call

Tremonti was the father of one of Oliver’s friends. She also questioned the process by which the Unruh and Oliver campaign chose Best Graphics. “We wanted to go with somebody that has a little bit more experience in commercial-type printing,” Unruh said. “We thought it would be better to go with someone who has a history of giving back to the community. That is something that company is known for.” Sidlinger and Champlin said the discounted price for the Unruh and Oliver campaign was more than likely a result of the candidates having a previous personal relationship with Tremonti. It was ruled both the price quote for the posters and the price quote for the fliers were “well below retail value,” and the expenses for the campaigning materials are in violation of the Elections Regulation code. As a result, the expenses for the posters and the fliers must be refigured at the set retail value of 60 cents per poster and 30 cents for the fliers, or palm cards. Unruh and Oliver were also required to re-submit their expense report by 9 a.m. this morning with the new figures.new figures.

copyright | Campaign told cannot use ‘kstate’ in slogan Continued from Page 1 campaign, but rather do just the opposite. Kathleen Sexton, elections commissioner for the Student Governing Association, said the listing of all logos was not exclusive, and that “kstate” is considered a copyrighted name. Sexton ruled that the slogan was, in fact, a violation, and that the Brinton and McGuire campaign was required to remove and recall all materials with “kstate” on them. Brinton said members have already taken down all the posters and have corrected all the brochures, and they are asking for anyone who has a T-shirt to return it. “We’re a little hurt that dirty politics were used, but we stand as strong candidates and look forward to elections,” Brinton said. Brinton also said the pair has already started working on a new slogan and posters. “This doesn’t knock us out,” he said. “Our support will be with us still and we are ready to move forward.”

Ladysmith Black Mambazo, an a capella group created to share South African culture, sings at McCain Auditorium Friday night.

Group bridges cultures, draws in audience

Leo July 23 - Aug. 22 Unforeseen and unwelcome events (but possibly funny from an outside prospective) will allow you to magically change your white-colored sweatpants to yellow around a specific region this week.

Pauline Kennedy | Collegian More than 50 years ago, Joseph Shabalala began spreading a message. He wanted to share his South African culture, teaching peace, love and harmony. To do so, he created an a cappella group made up of family and friends, and the members called it Ladysmith Black Mambazo. The group has continued to spread its message throughout the world including here at K-State, where it performed at McCain Auditorium Friday night. Ladysmith Black Mambazo was the third show this semester to make up the McCain Performance Series. The nine members of the group used their voices to create intricate harmonies, sung

mainly in their Zulu language, but with some English mixed in as well. They also worked in dancing and plenty of high kicks to entertain and add comic relief to the show. “I love it; it’s different from anything I listen to,” said Cami Webster, sophomore in social work. “It’s really interesting me in the culture.” Ladysmith Black Mambazo performs a traditional South African genre of music called Isicathamiya, which was created by workers who had to labor for long hours in the mines of South Africa. Shabalala mixed this music with his new-found faith of Christianity to create the gospel a cappella sounds. The group rocketed to worldwide fame after collaborating with Paul Simon on the album

“Graceland,” in which Simon featured several South African singers. The group has won three Grammys, one for best traditional folk recording and two for best traditional world music album. Ladysmith Black Mambazo is also well known for 7UP and Life Savers commercials, as well as performing a soundtrack for “The Lion King Part II” album. As a part of the McCain performance, the group sang several songs that represented its message, like the song “Nomethemba,” meaning “hope;” and “Shosholoza,” or “move faster,” which it will also be performing at the 2010 FIFA World Cup in South Africa. Audience member Molly McGuire, junior in political science and speech, said

the group was loads of fun to watch. “They’re so vibrant on stage; you can see the energy in their faces and how they sing,” she said. McGuire also said this was a great way to celebrate Black History Month, adding another dimension to it. “There’s a lot of focus on American history, but not international,” she said. Todd Holmberg, executive director of McCain Auditorium, said McCain is always trying to expose students and audience members to something new, and Ladysmith Black Mambazo did that. “The connection with the audience was obvious,” he said. “They surpassed my wildest expectations.”

Things have definitely changed. This past weekend was my cousin’s 21st birthday, so I took Emaline with me to Kansas City so I could go out in Westport (the Aggieville of Kansas City, Mo., if you will), to help my cousin celebrate her birthday, while my parents watched her overnight. I’ve left her with them overnight before, but for some reason, this time was different. I had organized a shot book for my cousin, and the plan was to go to a drag queen show at a bar

Q&A:

called Missie B’s in Westport and then stay overnight in a hotel so our designated drivers didn’t have to drive everyone home at 3 a.m. Excited to have a safe night out and a chance to socialize and let loose with girls my age, I gave Emaline kisses and headed to meet my cousin and her friends. Now, the few prior occasions I’ve had my parents watch her, I would leave to go out and feel a sense of almost relief to get out and relax. Sure, I thought about her while I was gone, but not to the extent of this weekend. I started crying as I drove out of sight of my parents’ house, and nearly turned around twice, ready to say “Screw it,” and stay with my baby. It wasn’t necessarily guilt, I don’t think, and my parents didn’t do too bad of a job raising me, so it wasn’t really worry either. I just missed the crap out of her. I knew my cousin would be re-

ally disappointed if I didn’t come, so I kept driving and tried to enjoy my night out. I did have a blast at the drag show. I’d never been to a bar that catered to the LGBTQ demographic, but the folks there were the kindest, most hospitable people I have ever met. The only thing that really caught me offguard was the bathrooms, which lacked individual stalls; I’m glad I don’t mind peeing in front of complete strangers. Normally, I would have indulged in my night of freedom, but this time, I didn’t even really have the desire to drink. I texted my mom three or four times in a three-hour period to check on Emaline, and even though she made fun of me, I think she understood. Chomping at the bit to head home without looking like a complete Debbie Downer, I managed to resist the urge to leave until 2 a.m. when I finally decided to use

the excuse of the weather to head back to my parents. I arrived home to a sleeping baby and found myself sitting there watching her for several minutes before heading to bed. It was then that I figured it all out. It wasn’t as much that I missed her, but a fear of what I had missed. As I looked at Emaline, it seemed as if her hair had grown a little longer and her face a little sweeter. Sadly, as I write this, the Aerosmith song “I Don’t Want to Miss a Thing” comes to mind, and I must unfortunately admit that I get Steven Tyler now. She changes so fast anymore, and that’s what I don’t want to miss. I’ve walked the line of college student and mom for the last seven months, and it looks as though I finally picked a side. Aubree Casper is a junior in life science. Please send comments to edge@spub.ksu.edu.

Co-chairs ready to kick off Proud campaign week 1) What does this campaign mean to you? 2) Why should students donate? 3) Is there anything special about the campaign this year?

Robert Swift

Senior, political science

Anna Zeiger

Senior, nutritional sciences

Reed Pankratz

1) The campaign is about students helping students, and all of us are part of the same K-State family, coming together to contribute help to K-Staters.

1) It’s really about the student body coming together as a ... unified group just to show how much we care about our fellow K-Staters.

2) Because the campaign is a testament to our family spirit we have here at K-State.

2)It is really K-Staters helping our other K-Staters. If students donate to the campaign, they are giving money for students to stay here.

3) We started to try to expand Proud to a year-round effort. In the past we just had our campaign week, but this year we have made the campaign more visible around the whole year.

3) We tried to make it a year-round campaign instead of a week in February and a basketball game.

Junior, public relations

1) It is a second chance for some students in crisis to pursue education at the best university in the nation and the essence of K-State. 2) Students should donate — it’s kind of why I go to K-State. It’s a family environment. 3) This year is a yearlong campaign, and we have had K-State Proud events at volleyball games, integrated Facebook to select this year’s T-shirt design and a [Union Program Council] concert.

Sri Lankan students share country’s culture at Coffee Hour Mayra Rivarola | Collegian Imagine a very small island in the Indian Ocean with lush vegetation, abundant fresh fruits and vegetables, surrounded by paradisiacal beaches and virgin rain forests, and average temperatures ranging from 62 to 78 degrees Fahrenheit. “Before I came to Kansas, I thought 62 degrees was very cold,” said Thilani Samarakoon, graduate student in chemistry and native of Sri Lanka, an island located in the Indian Ocean. The Sri Lankan Student Association gave a one-hour presentation about the country on Friday as part of Coffee Hour Series 2010, organized by the International Student and Scholar Services. Sri Lanka is roughly one-third of the size of Kansas. With a population of 20 million, the country is almost 25 times more dense than Kansas, from 33 people per square mile in Kansas to 800 per square mile in Sri Lanka. The country has diverse ethnicities and religions. The majority of people are Sinhalese, who are mostly Buddhists, followed by the Tamils, who are mostly Hindus. Other ethnicities include Moors, Burghers, Kaffirs, Malays and the native Vedda people.

“The Sri Lanka flag represents the religions in our country,” said Dilan Paranagama, graduate student in statistics and native of Sri Lanka. The flag has a yellow base, a crimson rectangle containing a yellow lion on the right, and on the left, two vertical rectangles, green and orange, bordered by the flag’s base. The green rectangle represents Sri Lanka’s Muslims and the orange Sri Lanka’s Hindus. The yellow represents Buddhism. Religion is an integral part of the country’s culture, and religious celebrations are often national holidays, Paranagama said. “We have a lot of cultural holidays,” he said. “Even though some celebrations are Buddhist, everyone gets the day off, and friends of other religions are invited to the house to share the food.” Every year, the people in Sri Lanka celebrate about 25 different holidays, including the monthly full moon day and Vesak, an annual holiday sometimes called “Buddha’s Birthday.” Besides the days off, all citizens in Sri Lanka have access to education, and the government provides children with clothes and food. The country also has governmentsponsored health care, free and open to all. After the presentation, about 40 attendees
