Cats win finale, but lose series to Red Raiders Justin Nutter | Collegian It was a mixed bag for the K-State baseball team over the weekend, as the 20th-ranked Wildcats (21-5, 4-2 Big 12) split a pair of games with Big 12 Conference foe Texas Tech (14-16, 4-5) on Friday and Saturday, but they ultimately suffered their first series loss of the 2010 season. After suffering an 8-5 set back in the series opener on Thursday - which also snapped a seven-game winning streak K-State sent undefeated starter Ryan Daniel to the mound in an attempt to get back into the win column.

TEXAS TECH 13, K-STATE 4

Daniel, one of just three seniors on the team, stepped onto the mound at Dan Law Field with a perfect 5-0 record, but any thoughts of a sixth win were quickly erased by the Red Raiders’ offense. Daniel was ineffective for the first time this year, giving up six earned runs on seven hits in just two innings.

After giving up a leadoff home run in the first inning, the native of Fort Collins, Colo., appeared to regain his composure. But things began to unravel when Daniel hit a batter with the bases loaded in the third. That was followed by a base-clearing double by catcher Kevin Whitehead, and Tech already had all the offense it needed to dispose of the Wildcats. That didn’t slow down the Red Raiders’ bats, however, as they added two more runs in the inning after Daniel was replaced by sophomore reliever Kayvon Bahramzadeh. Fellow sophomore Matt Applegate was also roughed up, as he allowed three runners to score in the seventh before recording an out. Despite only recording four runs in the losing effort, a few Wildcats had productive outings at the plate. Sophomore center fielder Nick Martini extended his hitting streak to 22 games — just three shy of the school record — going 2-for-3

while driving in a run.

K-STATE 10, TEXAS TECH 6

After falling behind 5-0 in Saturday’s series finale, it looked as though the Wildcats would be swept for the first time this season. But unlike the first two games of the series, they had an answer for Tech’s initial offensive outburst. The Red Raiders didn’t miss a beat from the day before, as they grabbed an early 2-0 lead off with sophomore starter Kyle Hunter in the first inning. They extended that margin to 5-0 in the third, prompting an early exit for the Galesburg, Ill., product. Hunter entered the game with a 5-0 mark, but couldn’t manage to retire a batter after the second inning. The Wildcats scored single runs in the fourth and fifth to narrow the deficit to three runs and grabbed the lead — their first of the series — during a five-run onslaught in the sixth inning. Junior shortstop Carter Jurica started the rally with a two-

run double to get K-State within one, followed by a game-tying sacrifice fly by Martini, who advanced to just two games shy of tying the school’s hit streak record. RBI singles by junior first baseman Kent Urban and sophomore left fielder Matt Giller ultimately give the Wildcats the lead for good. They scored three more in the seventh, but the final outcome had already been decided. Sophomore reliever James Allen played a large role in the comeback, giving up just one run in 5.1 innings to improve to 4-0 on the year. K-State enjoyed a balanced effort from the plate as five players recorded multi-hit games. Martini and Urban both went 2-for-4 and Jurica went 2-for-5 while all three drove in two runs each. Action continues for the Wildcats on Friday when they welcome Nebraska to Tointon Family Stadium for a threegame weekend series. Friday’s first pitch is set for 6:30 p.m.

Health Week begins Blood Drive held this week today with ceremony Mayra Rivarola | Collegian This week is National Public Health Week and the theme is “A Healthier America: One Community at a Time.” At K-State, the week will be dedicated to raising awareness on public health in areas like education, research and service, said Anna Pees, graduate student in public health. The week will kick off with an awards reception, “Excellence in Public Health at K-State,” which will include exhibits and recognition of students, faculty and staff for their work in public health programs. The reception will be held today at 5 p.m. at the K-State Alumni Center. Students will also be placing magnets around campus with the message, “Did you know … this is public health.” The mag-

nets will be placed around areas that involve public health, like water fountains, vending machines and traffic signs. “We are doing this because people often don’t understand what public health pertains to or means,” Pees said. The public health master’s program at K-State involves courses from eight departments, offering four areas of emphasis. The areas include food safety and biosecurity, infectious diseases, public health nutrition and public health physical activity. Other programs at K-State are also promoting awareness among children in hopes of steering students toward healthrelated study programs. More information on K-State’s master’s of public health program can be found at k-state.edu/ mphealth.

Three men were arrested in connection with the distribution of cocaine on Thursday, according to a media release from the Riley County Police Department. The report said a search took place at 803 Bluemont Ave., the residence of all three men, as part of an investigation into cocaine distribution in Manhattan. Among the arrests was Nicholas Seaton, 23, who was arrested for distribution of cocaine within 1,000 feet of a school, possession of cocaine with intent to distribute within 1,000 feet of a school, possession of psilocybin mushrooms, possession of a controlled substance, possession of marijuana, possession of drug paraphernalia and no Kansas drug tax stamp. Bond was set at $10,000. Also arrested was Dale Kruger, 22, and Jason Kellner, 22. Both were arrested for possession of cocaine and no Kansas drug tax stamp. Both bonds were set at $2,000. According to the report, the investigation is ongoing and more arrests are pending. Another drug bust by the Riley County Police Department resulted in the arrest of two individuals on Thursday. Capt. Kurt Moldrup, of the RCPD, said they responded to a call from a mushroom hunter who witnessed suspicious activity around the 270 block of E. 26th Ave. The witness said he saw a blue pick-up truck in the woods. After responding, the police found Angela Hadrin, of Topeka, Kan., and Shawn Sutton of Leondardville, Kan., with methamphetamine, a 22-caliber rifle, two BB pistols and an explosive device resembling a pipe bomb. After handcuffing, both suspects ran, but were recovered. Hadrin was arrested for possession of methamphetamine, possession of drug paraphernalia, criminal possession of an explosive device, criminal possession of a firearm, no Kansas drug tax stamp and criminal trespassing. She is being held on $2,500 bond, and she also had a previous warrant of $25,000 from Shawnee County for burglary. Sutton was arrested for unlawful possession of methamphetamine with intent to distribute, felony possession of drug paraphernalia, no Kansas drug tax stamp, unlawful possession of a controlled substance, misdemeanor possession of drug paraphernalia, criminal possession of a firearm, criminal use of an explosive, criminal possession of an explosive, felony obstruction of the legal process and criminal trespassing. He is being held on $2,500 bond. He also had previous warrants from Riley County at $2,500 for probation violation, Pottawotamie County for probation revocation and from Shawnee County for probation violation.

Accident ends in transport to Mercy

A rolled car incident resulted in a man being transported to the hospital Thursday afternoon, Capt. Kurt Moldrup of the RCPD said. Allegedly, a 1995 Ford Mustang driven by Harold Henry, 72, of Randolph, Kan., was headed north of Tuttlecreek Boulevard at the time of the accident. The car drifted left, went off the road and hit a drain. The car rolled several times, ejecting Henry. He was transported to Mercy Regional Health Center for a dislocated shoulder and other possible injuries. He was later airlifted to Topeka.

Cats end five year KU streak Sam Nearhood | Collegian It took six years to muster their strength, but the Jayhawks finally had enough. On Saturday, the University of Kansas took back the Kansas Cup for the first time since 2004 in women’s rowing. The Kansas Cup is the annual throw-down between K-State and Kansas. The Wildcats held the coveted title for five years straight, but they could not pull it off this year after losing 12-8 to their in-state rivals. However, there was a bright spot in the competition. Despite dropping the overall meet, K-State won arguably the most important race of the day: the 1st Varsity 8. Pulling across the line in 7:11.2, the Wildcats picked up eight points - their only points of the day - with Kansas five seconds behind. In all other races, Kansas took the points. K-State nearly clinched a couple more wins, losing five points in the 2nd Varsity 8 race by four seconds at 7:16.5 and three points in the 1st Novice 8 race by five seconds at 7:29.2. The Jayhawks also earned 3 points in the 1st Varsity 4 race and a single point in the 2nd Varsity 4 by wide margins. K-State will take two weeks to rest and recuperate in anticipation of the Southern IRAs in Tennessee.

K-State to start Texas tournament today Tyler Scott | Collegian As a whole, the men’s golf team has struggled to link together this season. K-State will try to change that when it hits the course today. The Wildcats have traveled to Austin, Texas, to participate in the 44th annual Morris Williams Intercollegiate hosted by the University of Texas. The course is a par-71 and a lengthy 7,412 yards. Senior Joe Kinney looks to put together back-to-back top-10 finishes after he finished tied for fifth at the Desert Shootout in Goodyear, Ariz. Senior Mitchell Gregson is trying to find the same stroke he had during the fall season where he placed in the top-10 three times. So far, in the two matches this spring, he has placed 25th and 42nd, respectively. “Kinney doesn’t put a lot of pressure

ration for the Big 12 Championship. “These last three weeks are like the beginning of the season rather than the end,” Norris said. Returning from a thumb injury, senior Joe Ida wants to put the Desert Shootout match in the back of his head and focus on this one. Norris explained Ida’s mindset coming into today. “He’s excited and ready to go,” Norris said. “He practiced with a protective bandage after having a bruise. It’s important for everyone to stay healthy, and Ida being at full strength gives us a great opportunity to play well.” The tournament tees off at 8 a.m. today with a 36-hole shotgun start. On Tuesday, the teams will start again at 8 a.m. and will shoot from the number one and 10 tees. Fans can find results from the first two rounds at kstatesports.com.

He and Jason Schulte have experience on this course, which could lead to an advantage. The field consists of 15 teams and it will be the toughest competition this season for the Wildcats. The field includes six teams ranked in the top-25: topranked Oklahoma State, fourth-ranked Texas A&M and fifth-ranked Texas lead the field.

Freshman Hannah Roos takes a shot at the Sunflower Invitational last fall on Sept. 28.

As the women’s golf team prepares for the Canes/Cards Classic in Miami Lakes, Fla., it does so with a slightly different traveling lineup. Redshirt freshman Kristen Dorsey will be competing in her first spring tournament along with teammates Abbi Sunner and Morgan Moon, seniors, Elise Houtz, junior, and Hanna Roos, freshman. After a disappointing third round in Tucson, Ariz., last week, the team had a qualifying tournament in Manhattan to determine who would travel for the next competition. Coach Kristi Knight said Moon won the qualifier, and Houtz finished second. They were only qualifying for three spots, so Roos and Sunner were exempt based on their play to this point in the spring season. Knight said it was a very competitive twoday event. “Sometimes the best thing when things aren’t going quite right, when your game’s in a little bit of a lull, kind of the best thing to do is come home and beat your own in a competition, and that’s what the ladies did,” Knight said. Knight said it was nice to come home from a tournament and be able to practice outside every day. She said that’s a little perk they haven’t had to this point and she feels like the ladies did a good job taking advantage of the weather and practiced well. Houtz has been hitting the ball well, and Sunner and Roos have played solidly throughout the week. Moon is determined and

looking to bounce back after Tucson and has put in a lot of practice time this last week. “Morgan and Elise, neither one was crazy about how they did in Tucson, but both came out and were sharp,” Knight said. “They’re motivated. They know that the final round in Tucson, we were in position to have a nice tournament and it didn’t quite work out for it. You have to put it behind you and move on. You can’t dwell on it.” The team’s practice round was 12:30 p.m. on Easter Sunday. Knight said it is not uncommon for the team to be traveling on the holiday but that the ladies would get to sleep in and go to church early if they wanted. She said usually the team has at least one or two parents who bring candy for the ladies on Easter, Knight said. However, there won’t be parents at this tournament. The coach says the team is like a family itself and does not think the players feel cheated at all. She said it is part of the sport just as it is for the young men playing in the Final Four or the baseball teams traveling now. As far as the competition, Knight said it is a field of teams they haven’t really seen. Originally both Texas Tech and Colorado were signed up to compete, but the field has changed. Now there are some smaller southeast schools mixed in with Maryland, Penn State and Texas State, Knight said. “We’ll take care of ourselves like we do at every tournament,” Knight said. “We’re not really concerned about any other team.”

Better Benefits

Life to be enjoyed instead of stressed Rachel Spicer

Illustration by Whitney Bandel

Health care bill limits insurance companies’ reign President Obama promises health care reform will be beneficial to citizens of the United States. Most Democrats salivate when the bill is mentioned and resonate Obama’s promise. All vocal Republicans promise to repeal the bill and burn any form of documentation relating to it. And while it will take decades before either party can say, “I told you so” about the bills’ economic effects, the parts of the bill that rein in the profit mongering tactics of insurance companies are good for all citizens. Accordingly, it would be in the best interest of the U.S. to ensure those parts’ survival, regardless of what happens to the rest of the bill. Before I start, please understand I am not supporting or criticizing the bill in its entirety, because I’m not an economic or health care analyst; I’m a confused 20-year-old student. I am only pointing out the few parts of the bill I feel no one can disagree with and why. First off, the bill will prohibit insurance companies from placing a cap on the amount of money a policy will provide in one year or in a person’s lifetime. To better understand this change’s positive effect, imagine your mother gets cancer and needs chemotherapy that costs $250,000 over the course of one year, but your policy will only reimburse her $100,000 a year. Although your mother has paid that company a good chunk of her annual income for the past 20 years, your family will have to find a way to cover the rest of the cost. But now, if your policy says it covers chemotherapy, it covers all of your chemotherapy.

Insurance companies will also be required to allow children to stay on their parent’s plans until their 26th birthday. Before the bill passed, insurance companies were only required to allow children to remain on their parents’ plan until the age of 18. For most of this paper’s readership, that’s no big change. As long as we were college students, we didn’t have anything to worry about; we were covered by the University or our parent’s plans that allow full-time college students the benefits of their coverage. But what happened when we graduated? Usually a grace period of a year was allowed to give us time to find a job and get our own big-kid health insurance. That may have worked in the past, but with an unemployment plateau at 10 percent, I don’t know anyone who would bet their health on the availability of a job in this market. Another big change is that insurance companies will now be required to put an appeals process into every plan, so that we can legally question the decision of the insurance company to deny coverage of treatment. Before the bill, some policies had written in the fine print that all decisions were final. So, if you had a deviated septum and needed reconstructive surgery, but the insurance company said you just wanted a free nose job, they could deny you coverage before you made an argument. This change gives those policyholders the right to prove the medical necessity of any denied treatment. Most importantly, for all U.S. citizens, private insurance companies can no longer base or raise your premium, or how much you must pay the company each

year, for the same insurance policy due to a pre-existing or acquired condition. This is pretty heavy in jargon, so let’s go back to the cancerous mother we met earlier for clarification. You’ve found a loan to pay the extra $150,000, Mom has fully recovered, and everything is great. Until you get a letter from the insurance company: “Your liability has changed from subcategory 1A to subcategory 2B. Your premium has increased from $10,000 a year to $50,000 a year. No worries, though! We’re not going to change anything else about your plan: what procedures it will cover, the quality of doctors you can visit or your annual coverage cap. Have a great life!” In other words, you’re getting a monetary punishment for getting sick. And if you are out looking for health care with your new job, but happen to have a preexisting condition like asthma or diabetes, the insurance companies could slap you with a higher premium or refusal of coverage for something you have no control over. With the new health care bill, all of these real nightmares transform into the trivial nightmares of the insurance company officials: no more astronomic profits at the cost of the American people. We should not have to sit with our fingers crossed, hoping that the fine print in our policy will end up being more detrimental to our health than cigarette smoke, and thanks to the aforementioned parts of the bill, we no longer do. Let’s keep it that way. Gage Brummer is a sophomore in pre-medicine and biochemistry. Send comments to opinion@spub.ksu. edu.

Yesterday, many students traveled home to spend Easter with family. I, however, felt it would be a good time to write a “happy” article rather than one centered around politics or highly debatable topics. It is weird how sometimes in life, things just hit you for some inexplicable reason. I was walking across Denison Avenue the other day, all stirred up about classes and work, when I saw some people playing out in this gorgeous weather. I realized that when those moments happen they fade away so quickly when the dark troublesome clouds start rolling in. It seems today nearly everyone is always worried about things, such as finances, politics and the economy. It has become increasingly easier to forget about the little things that make life worth living, the everyday things we tend to take advantage of. Simple details, like your best friend asking how your day was, are often washed away in stress. Even the major details of having food to eat and a roof over your head with people in your life who love you seem obsolete when you’re focused on keeping your life in order. To prevent these things from happening, I try to think of all of the opportunities my life has provided that less fortunate people aren’t able to have. There are people all around the world who can’t put food on the table or go down to a convenience store for a cold drink on a hot day. People suffer every day from poverty and natural disasters, so getting all worked up or depressed about small effects seems dense. Taking advantage of all this country has allowed us to have is an error of judgment, or a loss of foresight. Things get bad, but then they tend to get better if you let them. Don’t let the bad times ruin the good times you’ve had. Go enjoy life. Rachel Spicer is a junior in civil engineering. Please send comments to opinion@spub.ksu.edu.

Gov’t. calls for auto makers to clean up their act Danny Davis Recent changes in Corporate Average Fuel Economy (CAFE) standards, while they were to be expected, come at the expense of the American consumer. The Obama administration began calling for a higher fuel economy standard in 2009, catering to the environmental lobbyists. With the new standard, passenger cars will have to achieve an average of 35.5 mpg to reduce carbon emissions by 2016. The new “Clean Car” rule will begin with the 2012 model year by making a gradual shift in requirements for automakers to meet. While I care about the environ-

ment and do things like recycling, I don’t believe the new CAFE standards are in the best interests of the American consumer and automaker. Looking to buy a new car in 2016? The price will be an estimated $985 more than it would have cost in 2010. And that’s if the federal government is correct on their estimates. The cost for automakers is staggering. It will cost the industry, according the government, $51.5 billion to design “cleaner” cars. Some of the ways they hope to achieve this is by building smaller cars and using lighter materials. I can’t stand small cars. Not for their “green” factor, but more for their safety factor. Studies have shown, if logical reasoning was not enough, that small cars are not as safe as larger vehicles. Having seen the damage first hand that my truck inflicted upon a small car during a collision, I’m a firm believer that safety should not be sacrificed for fuel economy.

That is, however, what the government is asking automakers to do. Cheaper, lighter materials will be substituted for more solid components as car sizes shrink. Also, the costs that the auto industry will incur are staggering. With higher development costs, companies will have less money to spend on employee salaries. And is it a good idea to force companies to incur these costs right after the industry just weathered a recession? The new CAFE standards are a mere by-product of the global warming madness that has swept the nation. If consumers wish to purchase eco-friendly vehicles, the option has been there for the past five years. Government mandates forcing all vehicles to meet ecofriendly specifications also force the consumer to use the money on different products to allocate more money for the sake of catering to lobbyists. Another reason for increasing fuel economy is to reduce our de-

state

pendence on foreign oil. While in the theory this is good, in practice it has flaws. Smaller cars translates to smaller engines. What happens if a consumer decides he wants a powerful car or needs a powerful truck? Eco-friendly cars cannot deliver the speed or power at the currently affordable prices. The U.S. government has set the automobile industry on a slippery slope for the next six years. Once 2016 arrives (assuming the world doesn’t end in 2012) the government will demand more from the auto industry. Innovation will be key during the next few years as the industry develops new ways for customers to save fuel. But in reality, it’s not about the fuel, it’s about the carbon emissions — and the environmental lobbyists and global warming activists.

Sunset Zoo’s Eggstravaganza offers educational activities Visitors learn about bearded dragons during Sunset Zoo’s Eggstravaganza event Saturday afternoon. The day was full of activities for children to learn more about the animals at the zoo. Young visitors were able to meet the Easter Bunny, see animals up close, listen to zookeepers give seminars about different animals at the zoo and dig for dinosaur bones.
