Police Reports

Sodomy, rape reported Wed. Tyler Sharp | Collegian

An aggravated sodomy and rape was reported to the Riley County Police Department, according to Lt. Herbert Crosby Jr. The act was allegedly committed on April 21 between 1:30-1:45 p.m. in north central Manhattan. The victim is in their early 20s and knows the suspect, Crosby said.

Two Wrecks Occurred

Tommy Theis | Collegian

Matt Decapo, senior in architectural engineering, takes time to write his name in a different language on the Earth Day banner, which was signed by K-State students to give to President Kirk Schulz.

Earth Day event promotes sustainability Lauren Gocken | Collegian “Happy Earth Day.” said Zack Pistora, senior in political science and vice president of Students for Environmental Action, loudly into the microphone. In response, “Happy Earth Day.” came shouting back to him from all corners of the Union Courtyard, which was packed with people and clubs as part of the celebration of the 40th annual Earth Day yesterday afternoon.

“We’re here to promote sustainability,” said Stuart Watts, junior in agronomy. “The importance of the one home we live on — planet Earth.”

One booth in the courtyard was for the Association of Resident Halls, which has helped spur projects in the residence halls to be energy aware. One such program was an energy-saving contest in which all the residence halls competed against each other to see who could cut their energy intake most. The Strong Complex won the contest with a 17 percent energy reduction in one month.

“The residence halls normally spend about $100,000 a month on utilities and we reduced that by 17 percent,” said Ryan Felber, programming committee coordinator for ARH and senior in humanities. “With the halls making less of an impact, less money is spent, so there is more money to give back to the campus.”

Felber said the residence halls hosted a green fashion show earlier in the year. He said they also collect pop tabs for Ronald McDonald House and they are constantly improving their recycling programs.

“Students are responding really well,” Felber said. “Some of the halls really went all out for the energy-saving contest. We’re really moving toward a more sustainable lifestyle.”

The Union itself was also represented in the jumble of booths, displaying all that’s been improved in the last couple of years towards sustainability. Chartwells, the Union food provider, uses only socially- and ecologically-certified coffee, milk free of artificial growth hormones and cage-free eggs. It recently made the switch from Styrofoam to biodegradable containers and plastic ware.

Also in the process is the switch to all LED light bulbs, once the old bulbs died.

At noon, the stage was occupied by singers and speakers, one of which was Ben Champion, K-State’s director of sustainability.

“I was on the selection committee for the Udall scholarships, which go to people who are interested in environmental policies,” Champion said. “I read 95 of these essays and I had this amazing epiphany — how similar today is to the 1970s when Udall first started making speeches.”

Morris K. Udall was a representative in

the House of Representatives in the 70s who was very environmentally-aware. Udall was responsible for creating the Alaska Lands Act which doubled the size of the national parks system and tripled the size of the national wilderness system.

Champion also talked about the amount of money spent on utilities each year at the university.

“There’s $16 million in utilities each year for the university,” Champion said. “That’s $700 per student, per year.”

The event was originally going to be held in Bosco Plaza but was relocated to the Union courtyard due to rain.

“Unfortunately the weather didn’t hold out for us,” Watts said. “But we’ve had a real strong turn out, a lot of people coming by on their way through the Union for lunch.”

A T-shirt swap took place at the bottom of the stairs, where people could bring by an old shirt and trade it for a different one.

There was also a tie-dye booth for those looking to enhance their old shirts.

Other booths at the event were for Big Poppi’s Bikes, Students for Environmental Action, Sierra Club, Student Farm Club, Flint Hills Area Bike Club and Fair Trade Advocates. The Big Poppi Bicycle Co. station featured two bikes set up where students could race each other to see who could pedal the fastest and make the most energy.

Public Library hosts children’s event Thurs.

Vestoria Simmons | Collegian The Manhattan Public Library played host to the Children’s Earth Day Celebration yesterday afternoon in its auditorium. The celebration featured stories and activities for all ages to learn the importance of taking care of the planet.

“It’s kind of cool that it rained on Earth Day; it’s important for the earth, it helps things grow,” said Jennifer Adams, children’s department manager at the library, to begin the celebration.

Adams also told parents about upcoming events at the library for children, like story times and “Library Card Day,” which will be held Saturday. During the day Saturday, children can come to the library and show their library card to be given a free book.

The children then listened to two stories, “Dinosaur Woods” and “Happy Dog Sizzles,” and both stories had important and fun facts about the earth.

showed the children items that could be considered trash and the kids named other things the items could be used for instead of being thrown away.

When Carnes showed a tin can that had food in it, the children suggested that it could be used for music, it could be played with or it could be used as a pencil holder.

“There’s a lot of things you can do with stuff, after you use it and before you recycle it, it can be used for something else,” Carne said.

She showed the children other items too, including an old T-shirt that she said could be stuffed and made into a pillow for a cat and a flip-flop that could be a boat with the addition of a sail.

For the second activity and to finish off the celebration, the children worked with paper leaves and glued vegetables on them as decoration. The children could then take their

The first occurred at 4th and Osage on April 21 at 1:53 p.m. Caroline Dees, 38, of 512 Stone Drive was driving a 2000 Ford 4-door passenger vehicle when she rearended a 1981 Toyota Tercel driven by Jean Stonebraker, 34, of 4440 Tuttle Creek Blvd Apt 3. Stonebraker was transported to Mercy Regional Hospital by Riley County EMS after complaining of chest pains. Dees was cited for inattentive driving.

The second accident involved a truck rolling over a local man.

Kenneth Neilson, 32, of 2004 Walnut, was working under his 2002 Ford F350 when the truck came out of gear and rolled over him.

The truck proceeded to hit a stone wall and stop in the roadway. Neilson was transported to Mercy with back, chest and neck pain, according to Crosby.

Theft reported at school

A laptop was stolen from a local elementary school.

The laptop was taken from Theodore Roosevelt Elementary School, 1401 Houston Street, between April 15 at 1 a.m. and April 20 at 2 a.m.

The laptop was owned by USD 383, 2130 Poyntz Avenue, and was valued at $980 according to Crosby.

Fraud case settled collegian Staff Report

Attorney General Steve Six announced yesterday that an Emporia, Kan., woman who was convicted of six counts of Medicaid fraud and obstruction was sentenced to 60 days in jail and 24 months probation and ordered to pay $103,000, according to a press release from the Kansas Attorney General’s Office.

Vivian Mundy was a provider of “cognitive therapy to individuals suffering from traumatic brain injuries,” operating a business called Cognitive Care Connection, which had offices in Emporia and Topeka, according to the press release.

This past March, an Emporia jury found Mundy guilty of six counts of making a false claim to Medicaid and obstructing a Medicaid fraud investigation, according to the report.

Cognitive Care Connection billing concerns led to an 18-month investigation by the Kansas Attorney General’s Office, the report said.

According to the findings, there were initially 21 cases in which Mundy was paid twice for services, but 74 documents were changed. There were more than 500 cases where Medicaid was billed for overlapping services and nearly 600 cases where Medicaid was billed without allowing for travel time, according to the release.

Cats look for consistency Marshall Frey | Collegian The Purple Nation knows all too well the past several seasons have been filled with the turbulence of inconsistent play from young, up-and-coming K-State teams. Wildcat fans have sat and watched teams barely slide by Illinois State and Massachusetts one week and then roll over the likes of the University of Texas and Texas A&M the next. And after head coach Bill Snyder’s press conference on Monday, fans could expect to see more of the same in

the spring season.

While Snyder’s return marked a new era in KState football, it still could be some time before fans see the teams that perform to the caliber of the Wildcat teams of the previous Snyder reign. Like all great things, winning football programs take several years to cultivate. When asked about his thoughts on the past week’s practice, Snyder spoke to the team’s up and down performance during scrimmage situations.

“The scrimmage that we had was very inconsistent,

but this is the first scrimmage,” Snyder said. “We worked daily ones against ones and this is the first scrimmage that ones went against ones. You can’t win that.

“Fifty percent are going to do good and 50 percent are not. That’s just the way it is. But it was interesting the way it played out and maybe it speaks to our inconsistency but by the same token it could speak to the fact that there is some light at the end of the tunnel.”

Making a Statement

Politics can accomplish more at state level Beth Mendenhall As an opinion writer, it’s my duty not only to persuade you to improve and update your opinions, but also to explain how you can translate your new perspective into concrete changes.

This obligation has me frustrated of late, as the federal government refuses to address any issues that aren’t the unreal combination of both an overwhelming political win and completely uncontroversial. But not to fear, frustrated Americans, turns out, we live in a federalist system.

Many people forget that our brilliant Constitution didn’t come into being the day after the Declaration of Independence. Until 1789, the United States government was defined by the Articles of Confederation, which failed because the document gave the states too much power and made the federal government impotent. The Constitution rebalanced that relationship, but not to the degree most citizens expect. The states still have significant power over their own legal destinies, providing ample opportunity for localized politics to effect

Letter to the editor

Beef farmers helping save the Earth too Dear Editor, Growing up as the daughter of two graduates of environmental programs, I was raised learning about different ways to help the environment.

Now, as a student in an animal science program, I have found there is no better way to be green than by promoting positive animal agriculture.

Today, beef producers are working hard to reduce their carbon footprint every day. Agriculture only contributes to approximately 6 percent of methane emissions, and the benefits of beef production outweigh this by a landslide.

Beef can provide people with 10 essential nutrients that help promote a healthy and active lifestyle. These nutrients include zinc, iron, protein, and B vitamins which are hard to find in this quantity, for this price anywhere else. Also, there are 29 different options of beef cuts that are considered lean by the U.S. government guidelines. This allows Americans to enjoy their favorite beef products such as a Tbone steak or filet mignon without worrying about negative side affects.

The fat marbling included in these cuts is not unhealthy; it is actually good for your heart.

Animal agriculture producers work hard to produce the safest, healthiest products. We love being able to wake up each day and care for these animals that will go on to feed the rest of the world.

Illustration by Christina Klein significant change.

The relevant portion of Constitution law is the 10th Amendment, which ensures that all powers not granted to the national government nor prohibited to the states by the Constitution are reserved for the states. Further, the Supreme Court has clarified that this prohibits the federal government from compelling states to enforce federal regulations.

One of the biggest loopholes for the federal government, however, is the Commerce Clause, which allows it to regulate anything deal-

ing with interstate commerce. Interstate commerce, unfortunately, includes many things. The states are also limited by lack of revenue — the federal income tax brings in significant government funding, which is largely granted to the states in the form of grants directed at specific programs. States have recourse to sales and property taxes, but the funding collected from these is relatively minimal.

California has given the country a good example of state-based politics via direct democracy. Their ballot

initiatives, which seek popular approval of state policies, have dealt with issues like gay marriage, factory farming and medical marijuana.

California may soon even consider the legalization of marijuana at the state level.

Though federal law still applies, it would only be enforced by over-stretched and outnumbered federal law enforcement agencies.

Some powers are the exclusive purview of the states, and some are shared with the federal government. Despite this, citizens frequently see politics as something

that happens only in Washington, D.C. In reality, we may be able to effect more change by paying closer attention to our state representatives. Those politicians are also easier to influence, as their constituency is smaller and your vote matters much more. The average citizen has a better chance of influencing the state rather than federal agenda, especially via direct democratic mechanisms like ballot initiatives and referendums.

We could start addressing a plethora of issues at the state level — problems related to the environment, human health and social issues may be too important to wait for highly partisan federal politics to address. Not only can political activism on the state level change policies more easily and more effectively, but it can tailor those policies to the unique circumstances of each state.

As citizens of a federalist republic, we need to recognize that politics isn’t something that’s far removed from our daily experiences.

It’s happening right here, in our state and local governments. Channeling our political energies to lower levels of government can ease our political frustration and formulate policies based on our preferences, rather than partisan priorities.

Beth Mendenhall is a senior in political science and philosophy.

Mud-slinging represents needed changes in Govt.

Gage Brummer My favorite thing about the United States is how well we choose those who run our country.

The actions of our government’s leaders prove that they are wise, smart individuals who aren’t there just because everyone else on their family tree was there before them.

And although they never come out and say it, our leaders are teaching us lessons with these actions. They’re teaching us about the areas of our government that need to be changed and how best to go about achieving those changes.

In just the past few months, I have learned more about our government than I thought I would in a lifetime.

I learned from both the Democrats and the Republicans that our health care system is in need of reform. In regards to how to reform it, both parties had lessons to teach.

The Democrats taught me that

what was needed was a bipartisan revision of the health care system.

After all, only when everyone can come to agreement on something should it be passed into law. Their only stipulation for this bipartisan revision was that at no point in time could Republicans have any involvement or influence.

The Republicans had an equally valid suggestion for how to revise health care. To understand their approach though, you need to first understand the primary principle of the Republican party: Republicans are absolutely flawless at reforming anything, and the Democrats, for lack of a better word, suck at everything.

So by completely blocking any attempt by the Democrats to reform health care, the best change of all would be made. That is, no change at all. The message is clear, logical, and well-thought through.

By not changing anything, we can change everything.

The government’s lessons aren’t limited to health care reform, though. In the realm of economics, both parties have expressed good, consistent ideas. In 2008, when our country’s recession looked like it could very well be the next Great Depression, their consensus was clear.

The economy needed to be

saved. They more or less agreed that in order to do so, our government needed to give billions of federal dollars to some of the most lucrative companies in the world.

Unfortunately, that idea proved to be a little flawed. As it turned out, putting astronomic amounts of money into the hands of people who have a history of screwing up when they have astronomic amounts of money in their hands wasn’t such a good idea. Their mistake was completely unforeseeable, though, and I can’t get mad at someone for something they had no control over.

After all, they realized their mistake, and both parties learned their lesson. They realized they must do everything in their power to prevent people who are irresponsible with money from getting billions of dollars of taxpayer’s money ever again.

So the party in power recently wrote a bill that promised to prevent the reappearance of this monumental mistake, and in a bipartisan way. As all good parties with bipartisan intentions should, they vowed to listen to the other side of the debate.

As we learned from the Democrats earlier, the best way to hear the opposing view is not to listen to it at all. The Democrats aren’t the

only ones effectively acting on the lesson they learned.

The Republicans are equally hard at work to prevent this mistake from recurring. By using their energy to portray Democrats as socialist fanatics whose only goal is to destroy the American way of life, they’re leaving the bill to write its own reform. The logic is simple.

No human interaction, no chance for anything to get screwed up.

That seems to be the consensus of our government on how to handle things in Washington.

When an institution is in disrepair, it’s better to belittle the opposite view than to discuss how to repair it. When a policy needs to be changed, it’s better to leave humans out of the mix and let it reform itself. And finally, when the going gets tough, start pointing fingers.

Indeed, it seems the progressive wheels that move our country forward work better when they’re turning in the mud. Whether we’re moving forward or not doesn’t seem to matter. As long as the tires are turning and counter-productive arguments dominate Washington, D.C., America will be content.

Student experiences spring, baseball fever collegian kansas

Marshall Frey Springtime. Ah, yes. With springtime comes the joy of the pending summer. Birds and wildlife return, the sun pokes out of the looming storm clouds just long enough to make grass grow, only to be whacked down by the ominous blades of lawn mowers. Homework piles up as the semester winds down, and campus becomes filled with the hectic buzz of students attempting to put a lid on the semester. And yet, as I sit here trying to decide whether or not to study for my statistics test or do my physics homework, I can’t help but think of one thing: baseball season.

I’m a baseball junkie. I can’t get enough of it. And my schoolwork tends to get in the way. My grandma used to tell me stories from her days in elementary school when they

would broadcast the World Series over the PA system. Why can’t we get that at K-State? I’m going to have to talk to my student senator about that one.

Last year was a bad year for my habit. I had to subscribe to MLB.TV so I could catch the out-of-market games as I slaved away in the drafting studio late into the night. I even tried the whole fantasy baseball thing with a few of my buddies, but quickly grew frustrated as my team went into a mid-season slump. My dream of becoming a big league general manager is quickly dwindling after the results of my fantasy draft.

This year is no better. I’ve only been able to make it to one baseball game thus far, and it was a K-State loss to Nebraska. How’s that for being born under a bad sign?

And what’s worse is that I can’t seem to find time to fit a few baseball games into my schoolwork. I mean, I took statistics because I thought we’d be learning about batting average and earned run average. The only baseball-related stat we’ve learned about is the average time spent on the disabled list.

I enrolled in physics to learn about

the dynamics of the curve ball and the momentum behind ninth-inning rallies. But so far all we’ve learned about is quantum physics. Enough, I want my education to be pertinent to my interests.

Hopefully this summer will provide plenty of opportunities for quality baseball. As I prepare to make my way to the west coast, I hope to hunker down in Petco Park in San Diego for the summer to watch the Padres play battle. Perhaps I will experience my first Dodger Dog and witness Manny Ramirez actually hustle. Maybe I’ll be able to score a spot in McCovey Cove to catch a bomb making its way out of AT&T Park.

But most likely I’ll be in the same predicament as Alan Jackson with the “Summertime Blues.” And I can argue with relative certainty that once school rolls around in the fall, I will again find myself snowed under a pile of homework during the playoffs.

Why does life have to be so complicated?

The Moscow Festival Ballet is set to perform the classic tale of Cinderella at McCain Auditorium this Sunday at 7:30 p.m. This is the final show in the McCain Performance Series.

Tom Holmberg, executive director of McCain Auditorium and creator of the McCainKSU fan page on Facebook. com, said McCain is fortunate to present some of the finest dancers from Russia performing a classic tale through the magic and splendor of classic ballet. He said he believes ballet performances with storybook titles are very popular among K-State students and the community.

According to the Facebook event invitation created by the McCainKSU fan page, children may participate in “Fairy tales and Fun” at 6 p.m. in the Union prior to the ballet. The event will include crafts, games, snacks and story time with Snow White.

Cinderella, the Fairy Godmother and Willie the Wildcat are also expected to join the fun.

Holmberg said he expects more than 1,000 people to attend the ballet.

For the general public, section A is $46, section B is $40 and section C is $34. For faculty, seniors and military, section A is $44, section B is $28 and section C is $32. For K-State students and children, section A is $23, section B is $20 and section C is $17.

Tickets may be purchased by calling 785-532-6428.

Saturday should provide answers Tyler Scott With one day until the public’s first look at the 2010 K-State football team, there are obviously a few questions that remain unanswered for the upcoming season.

The spring game may answer these questions. One question to which everyone wants an answer is who will be the starting quarterback next season? Currently, as stated by Coach Bill Snyder, the race is between Carson Coffman, Sammuel Lamur and Collin Klein.

Coffman showed signs of good play last season, but also struggled when the game was on the line, including his last appearance against LouisianaLafayette. Everyone might have the same opinion about him, and it probably isn’t something Coffman wants to hear.

Lamur and Klein both had stints under center in high school, but I don’t think a lot of people have seen what they can do at quarterback. The Wildcats also signed freshman Billy Cosh, but he will most likely learn the system first before stepping into the spotlight. Tomorrow is the perfect time to showcase all three — or maybe four — to see what each can do.

The next question might be: “Who will fill the defensive tackle void left by Jeffrey Fitzgerald?” He had a team-leading seven sacks last year and his departure leaves plenty of opportunity open to bull-rush the quarterback.

The team signed five defensive linemen in the offseason, with four of them coming out of junior college. Defensive end Adam Davis, rated a four-star prospect by Rivals.com, and three-star tackle Javonta Boyd might make the biggest difference. Davis has a big frame of 249 pounds standing at 6-foot-1.

Boyd was also highly ranked by Rivals.com in high school and recorded 54 tackles his sophomore season at Butler Community College.

OK, enough with the questions. Here are a few players, veteran and new, that I look forward to seeing on the field this season.

I’ll start with the veteran junior defensive back Tysyn Hartman. After a season of picking off five passes and defending 11, he could make an even bigger impact and become a great leader for the defense as a junior.

He also finished fourth on the team in tackles last season and earned honorable mention AllBig 12 honors.

The next player is sophomore transfer Chris Harper. While presenting a main focus as an Oregon Duck, he could be a great candidate to fill the shoes of recently-graduated Brandon Banks. He stands at 6-foot-1 and 234 pounds, while giving the quarterback a bigger target to throw to. It will only be a matter of time to see how this guy fits into the system.

Another player is senior defensive back Stephen Harrison. With the departure of Josh Moore, Harrison will also look to be a defensive leader on the field and anchor the corner position. He had most of his success in the last eight games of the season last year, recording 11 passes defended. He also had a careerhigh five tackles against Iowa State at Arrowhead Stadium.

So with that said, this season should have some interesting and, hopefully, positive games.

I’m not going to predict anything this early, as I’ll leave it up to you, the reader, to decide how the team will look come next December.

The best thing to do is to go to Snyder Family Stadium at 6 p.m. tomorrow to get a good look at how the team has been playing in practice. You never know, there might be a couple of players that surprise not only you, but Snyder himself, who ultimately decides where they fit on the unit.

Enemy Territory

Wildcats prepared for series at Mizzou Blake Thorson | Collegian The Wildcats begin a huge series today with the Missouri Tigers as they look to stay in the race for their first ever Big 12 Conference regular season championship.

K-State (27-8, 9-3 Big 12) has won its last four games, seven of its last 10 and trails conference leader Texas by only one loss as it enters play today. Head coach Brad Hill and club are coming off a conference sweep of Baylor last weekend and a season sweep of Wichita State after a 7-4 win on Tuesday night in Wichita. The Cats also beat the Shockers earlier this season at home.

The Wildcats’ 27-8 record is the best start in school history and their 9-3 conference start is tied for the best in school history with the 1990 team. The Wildcats also hold their highest national ranking of the season as they rank as high as No. 16 in a national poll.

This weekend’s series with the Tigers (19-17, 4-8) is particularly crucial because the remaining Nathaniel Larue | Collegian conference slate is full of perenJustin Lindsey throws a pitch to a Nebraska hitter on April 9. The nial Big 12 Conference powers Wildcats are currently in Columbia, Mo., for a three-game series. such as Texas, Oklahoma and

Texas A&M. K-State has shown the ability to win in a variety of ways all season, but it has been the team’s consistent ability to get on base this season that has allowed the Cats to thrive. The Wildcats lead the Big 12 in on-base percentage and also rank first in team batting average and stolen bases.

Leading the charge offensively has been sophomore Nick Martini who has at least one hit in 33 of 35 games this season, including a school record 26-game hitting streak. Martini also ranks first in the Big 12 in on-base percentage. His .524 on base percentage would rank him first all time in school history.

Four other Wildcats also rank in the top 10 in the Big 12 in onbase percentage.

Missouri comes in as losers of four of its last five and has gone 4-6 in its last 10. The Tigers rely heavily on senior Aaron Senne, who leads the conference in hitting at .436, as well as a conference-leading 26 extra-base hits.

First pitch is scheduled for 6 p.m. at Taylor Stadium. The game will be televised on Fox Sports Net, which is channel 34 locally via Cox Communications.

Golf teams to compete in Big 12 tournaments Men’s Golf Tyler Scott | Collegian With all the highs and lows the men’s golf team has experienced this season, it all comes down to the next three days.

K-State will begin play today at Whispering Pines Golf Club competing in the Big 12 Championship in Trinity, Texas. The course is a par-72, and covers 7,480 yards.

It’s also the number one rated golf course in Texas five years in a row by the Dallas Morning News.

Last year the Wildcats finished in fourth place, which tied the 2003-04 team for the best championship finish in school history.

Head coach Tim Norris said he thinks the team can do very well.

“I hope to see some good play and everybody has to play to their potential,” Norris said. “If we can do all of this then we will have some fun this weekend.”

Number one-ranked Oklahoma State and defending national champion Texas A&M lead the 12-team field. The Texas Longhorns and Texas Tech Red Raid-

Women’s Golf

ers are also ranked in the top-25.

K-State is ranked 64th in the nation.

K-State’s squad will include Mizzou Intercollegiate title winner freshman Curtis Yonke, senior Joe Ida, senior Mitchell Gregson, senior Joe Kinney and freshman Ben Juffer.

“Curtis’ win last week was a big boost to his confidence and it opened some eyes,” Norris said.

“I also really like the way Juffer played in practice. With him facing situations tomorrow he might play a lot better.”

Norris also said Gregson, Ida and Kinney have played well all year.

The championship is set to begin with 36 holes today, followed by 18 holes on Saturday and Sunday. Tee time is scheduled for 8 a.m. and 8:50 a.m. from the first and tenth tees on Friday and Sunday, while Saturday’s third round will start one hour later. Fans can find live scoring on golfstat.com and final results on kstatesports. com.

Ashley Dunkak | Collegian After getting a sample of Big 12 competition at the Baylor Spring Invitational in its last tournament, the K-State women’s golf team will travel to Norman, Okla., to take on all 11 conference rivals in the Big 12 Women’s Golf Championship, which begins today and continues through Sunday, at the Jimmie Austin OU Golf Club.

The lineup will feature seniors Abbi Sunner and Morgan Moon, junior Emily Houtz, sophomore Ami Storey and freshman Hanna Roos.

Coach Kristi Knight said some of the ladies have played the course before and several have not.

“The greens are usually pretty fast on this golf course,” Knight said. “It’s a good golf course.

It’s very punitive in places. If you get greedy — if you get a little silly and start going for too much — you can definitely make some double bogeys because

the areas around the green and especially past the hole, especially long of the greens, it’s very punitive.”

Knight said it is a difficult golf course, but it is playable. She said it is difficult because it requires patience and golfers kind of have to pick their battles because they will get into trouble if they just fire at every flagstick.

“They’ll have chances. A lot of the ladies have been hitting the ball really well,” Knight said.

“They’re going to get themselves opportunities to make birdie.

Par’s going to be a great score, but what they’re going to have to remember is they’re also going to have bad shots, and that’s when they just need to take a step back and make sure they look at the situation and not try to do too much.”

The Big 12 recently named Sunner and Houtz to the 2010 Academic All-Big 12 Women’s Golf First Team. This is Sunner’s third time to receive this honor and Houtz’s second.

Women’s Tennis

Cats set to close out regular season at home Danny Davis | Collegian Women’s tennis is set to compete in its final matches of the regular season at home this weekend. They are scheduled to host No. 2 Baylor on Saturday and Texas Tech on Sunday.

The Wildcats are coming off losses last weekend at home to Oklahoma and Oklahoma State. In each match, the Wildcats tallied a single victory, both in singles.

“I felt like even with the loss to Oklahoma, there were some specific places where we might have made improvements,” said head coach Steve Bietau. “But that wasn’t evident on Sunday.”

He said he expects improvement by his players in singles performance. One issue that has plagued the team this season is inconsistency.

Some players know what they need to do, Bietau said, but have had difficulty reproducing it on a regular basis.

In doubles play, K-State won at only one position in each of last weekend’s matches. Bietau said he does not plan to change the teams, but the lineup order will be altered this weekend.

“Carmen [Borau Ramos] and Ana [Gomez Aleman] have had a fair amount of success at No. 3 and, at times, have been fairly solid,” he said. “We’re moving them up to No. 2 this week.”

When reflecting on the season, Bietau said the team has improved considerably since the beginning of the year, but it is not where he wants it to be. Compared to teams past, however, this year’s team has trained harder, he said.

On the following day, the

Wildcats will hold their Senior Day as part of the regular season finale. K-State has one senior, Natasha Vieira, from Venezuela. Her career singles record is 37-70 and she holds a 42-52 doubles mark.

“Natasha’s been a real special player to me,” Bietau said.

“I can’t say enough about her dedication to the sport, to our team, to how hard she’s worked to improve herself and to her example to other players. It’s really been a pleasure coaching her.”

Saturday’s match against the Bears is scheduled to begin at 12 p.m. and Sunday’s match against the Red Raiders is set for 1 p.m. Both matches will be played at the Wamego Recreation Complex.

Next week, the Wildcats compete in the Big 12 Women’s Tennis Championships in Austin, Texas.

Nathaniel Larue | Collegian Nina Sertic serves a ball in a match against Wichita State earlier this season.

KLEIN | Snyder acknowledges former receiver’s range Continued from Page 3 experience of understanding the other side of the ball is instrumental in elevating one’s global knowledge of the game.

“The more you know about what goes on around you, probably the easier it is to know your role and understand your role and how it fits in with everything,” Snyder said.

Who will be starting under center remains to be seen and could very well remain a mystery until the team kicks off the sea-

son on the first Saturday of September, but Snyder listed several positive aspects Klein brings to the offense.

“Number one, he’s got the range,” Snyder said. “Number two, he’s a pretty physical guy.

Number three, he can run reasonably well for the kind of size that he brings to the table.

And he’s very intelligent and he works at it, works extremely hard, so you know that he’s going to give it his best effort. You know that he’s going to study it as much as he possibly can. He’s

a bright young guy in the classroom, so it affords him a little bit more time to study the game on his own. Good traits to have, I think.”

After red-shirting a year and playing as a wide receiver, Klein lacks the game experience of Coffman as far as the quarterback position goes, but he said consistency and a short memory are key to the competition.

“He makes a lot of plays, I make a lot of plays,” Klein said.

“It’s just a matter of getting right back in there after you make

a mistake or after you make a good play and trying to do the same thing again.”

He said the quarterbacks have to look at their individual performance every single play, and there isn’t time to take a step back and look at the big picture to see who’s doing better and who’s not.

“It’s an individual, play-toplay thing as a player that we need to focus on,” Klein said. “If you do take a step back and try to look at that big picture, by the time you do that, you’re already

Lecture addresses relationship between women, nature Mayra Rivarola I Collegian

The oppression of women and the oppression of nature are interconnected and mutually reinforcing, an idea embraced by the ecofeminist movement addressed at a lecture yesterday.

"We need to understand that we aren't separated from nature; we are nature too," said Valerie Carroll, instructor in women's studies. "We need to stop treating nature and marginalized humans in such arrogant ways."

Ecofeminism is as complex as the people it seeks to defend and protect, manifesting itself in different, but connected, areas. It can be viewed as a philosophy or as a sociopolitical movement, among others.

As a philosophy, ecofeminism seeks to understand the interconnections of women and other marginalized groups with the

Earth, while criticizing the status said. On one side, there are huquo and seeking justice for all. man beings, civilization, mind, ra"All of this is about justice," tionality, men and masculinity.

"This Ecofeminists also attempt to permeates our thinking and culexplain the roots of discrimina- ture." tion and injustice.

By examining the English lanWestern culture has divided its guage, the connection between worldview into two sides, Carroll women and nature becomes clear.

“We need to stop treating nature and marginalized humans in such arrogant ways.”

Women are often referred to as animals, like "chicks," "foxes" or "bitches," while nature is often referred to with feminine terms — "Mother Earth," "virgin timber," "penetrating into the wilderness" and "fertile earth" are some common examples.

"Ecofeminists are not saying women and nature are not connected," Carroll said. "We are connected, but men are too, everyone is."

The problem with this type of language is the terms mentioned are often devalued, and when culture devalues something, it is easier to allow it to be exploited and harmed.

As a feminist movement, ecofeminism analyzes gender and equality issues through a gender lens "by asking gendered questions — 'Does this affect women differently?' 'Does this leave women out?'" Carroll said. "With

these questions, ecofeminism takes seriously over half of the world's population, which is the women."

At the end of the lecture, Carroll gave the audience three points to action. The first is to start viewing the world with gender lenses, the second is to realize no man is an island and we are all interconnected and the third is to reject all "isms" of denomination.

"Racism, speciesism, sexism," she said. "They are all wrong. Period. We don't need to discuss it."

Sofia Pablo-Hoshino, audience member and graduate student in political science, said she appreciated the practicality of Carroll's lecture, giving real-life examples of ecofeminism.

"I liked that she focused on specific situations," Pablo-Hoshino said. "She talked about what can be done to solve the issues."

spring | Saturday’s scrimmage to show quarterback competition

EARTH DAY | Youth events take place at Library

Continued from Page 3 And while the Wildcats may be inconsistent right now, it should be noted that they are still a relatively young team with a wealth of newly available talent that was not there last year. Several experienced transfers are now eligible to take the field after the mandatory red-shirt season.

With key position competition and a strong player match-ups on both sides of the ball, the Purple/ White scrimmage could prove interesting for fans. One key area that most fans will be watching

Continued from Page 1 leaves home to hang in their windows or turn them into magnets.

Andrea Schmidt, 4-H youth development agent for Riley County Research Development, showed the kids different vegetables they could glue on their leaves for decoration, like corn, lentils, sunflower seeds, pinto beans, split peas and soybeans.

Schmidt told the kids a little about each vegetable and encouraged them to look and pass around.

Schmidt said Riley County Research Development works with the Manhattan Public Library for different youth programming.

This event was “one other way to provide resources to youth,” Schmidt said.

Karen Laflen said she brought her 8-year-old daughter and 2-and-a-half-year-old son to the celebration because it’s a great idea and a fun, no-cost activity.

This was the 40th anniversary of Earth Day. Children’s story times are held every day of the week except Friday at the Manhattan Public Library.

is the battle for the quarterback position between junior Carson Coffman and sophomore Collin Klein. Coffman, who was named the starter at the beginning of last season, will attempt to earn another chance under center. Klein, who started at wide receiver in several games last year, will look to move into the quarterback role this season for the Wildcats.

When asked about Klein’s progress on the field, Coach Bill Snyder stated he was pleased with the improvement he has seen.

“He has elevated his performance, and a lot of that is experi-

ence because he spent more time as a wide receiver in practice last year than he did at quarterback,” he said.

Wildcat fans can certainly look for an exciting season in the fall, as the K-State will play host to several big-game match-ups, the first of which is the season opener against Pac-10 Conference opponent UCLA. In addition to a decent non-conference schedule, fans can also look for nostalgic Big 12 match-ups, such as the one against Nebraska this season in Manhattan.

However, K-State will expe-

rience extended absences from Snyder Family Stadium, as they finish the final three games of the season on the road. In addition to long road trips, the Wildcats face stiff opposition in the Big 12, taking on the likes of Texas and Oklahoma State at home.

While the season is still a long way off, K-State fans can’t help but to be excited for the upcoming year. As long as the Wildcats stick to playing consistent football with a strong defensive presence, everything should turn out favorably for this Bill Snyder squad.
