The “Sprocket” part of the festival includes a 10-mile bike race, as well as a virtual bike race, courtesy of Big Poppi Bi- cycle Company. Festival-go- ers can race against each oth- er or the computer on two sta- tionary bikes with a simulated track on a big screen. Among the many opportu- nities to “Renew it,” the Sunset Zoo is partnering with agricul- tural communication students from K-State to give away 150 rain barrels and to educate the public about the benefits of re- using rain water to save money and benefit the environment. “It has been estimated that during the summer months nearly 40 percent of household water is used for lawn and gar- den maintenance,” said Chris- topher Lavergne, communica- tions instructor, in an April 19 news release. “Providing op- portunities to make an envi- ronmentally-conscious impact in Manhattan results in a tri- ple-win situation for K-State students, the local community and the environment.” Musical performances will “Rock it” throughout the day at the zoo.

Former K-State professor of anthropol- ogy and American ethnic stud- ies Harriet Ottenheimer most certainly has done something about it. Tired of being tricked into re- sponding to spam e-mails asking for monetary donations or being falsely informed she had inher- ited a large sum of money, Ot- tenheimer said seven years ago she started tracing and analyz- ing spam e-mails with help from her son, Internet security spe- cialist Davi Ottenheimer. Ottenheimer said she and her son focus on e-mails called “Ni- gerian 419 messages.” These e- mails typically request the recip- ient’s help to facilitate a financial deal. The recipient is requested to pay an advance fee to set up an account with the promise of receiving a larger sum of mon- ey at the end of the transaction. After the recipient pays the ini- tial fee, the scammer says that a problem has arisen which re- quires additional funds, and thus begins a never-ending cy- cle of payments until the recip- ient realizes he or she has been scammed. “My son was able to help me trace the e-mails,” Ottenheim- er said. “I began tracing them. I realized they didn’t all come from where they said they came from.” Ottenheimer said people write e-mails and pretend to be Russian, African, British or Mid- dle Eastern—whatever helps their fraudulent proposals ap- pear genuine. These scammers convincingly compose e-mails where they deceptively present themselves as experts from oth- er countries with exclusive op- portunities to claim large sums of money. “People like you and I are in- terested in my findings because I come about this in a different way,” Ottenheimer said. Rather than looking at only the techno- logical part of spam e-mails, Ot- tenheimer looks at the language in them also. “Since it is impos- sible to stop all of these e-mails, it is important for people to re- alize that scammers are using misleading language to get to us. Until we understand how peo- ple can attack us through lan- guage, we are defenseless.” Ottenheimer said she believes that a technological solution can be created to automatically scan e-mails and alert the recipient to the possibility of fraud. Ottenheimer said she pres- ents her research to professors at academic conferences and to security professionals at Internet security conferences. “I would imagine that my re- search will help anyone who is interested in security and being protected from spam e-mails,” Ottenheimer said. “Your com- puter system and privacy are only as safe as you make them. Attacks will get through, and unless you understand how lan- guage is misused you will be spammed.” Ottenheimer said she is fund- ing this research by herself and working on it in her spare time in her retirement. Ashton Archer | COLLEGIAN Today marks the 40th anni- versary of Earth Day. The Stu- dents for Environmental Action (SEA) will be hosting events all day in the Union to raise aware- ness and to get students in- volved in Earth Day. The event will kick off with a parade at 9:20 a.m. in Bos- co Plaza and will go to Waters Hall before coming back to the Union. There will be many dif- ferent activities taking place in- side the Union for students. Among the activities there will be a T-Shirt swap with the option of tie-dying. Students can bring any old T-shirts they don’t want and trade one for another shirt. If you want to give an old shirt new flair, tie- dye will be available in colors and bleach. The Department of Environ- mental Health and Safety will be collecting hazardous waste from students. Some substanc- es, anything ignitable, corrosive, or toxic, cannot be easily recy- cled or disposed of. Items being collected include batteries, cel- lular phones, paints, anything containing mercury, fluorescent lights, electronics, appliances, aerosol cans and motor oil. The items will be properly disposed of or sent to where they can be recycled. Students are encour- aged to bring as many items as they can to be properly disposed of instead of being thrown away and causing pollution. Several student and com- munity organizations will be in attendance to promote Earth Day. The Student Farm Club will be having a produce sale. Fair trade bags are being sold by FAAST 5K and Ordi- nary Women. Chartwells will be promoting their sustainable practices. They will be selling sustainable wraps as well. Stu- dents will not walk away hun- gry at this event. Other groups in attendance are Amnesty International, KSU Facilities and Recycling, the Si- erra Club and about 20 other groups. Groups will be dem- onstrating to students what they are doing to make the world greener and showing what stu- dents can do to make a differ- ence. A scavenger hunt will also be happening, which will lead students to different orga- nizations tables and ultimately to prizes. Other highlights include a puppet show, which will be in- teractive and educational about environmental and humanitari- an issues. The elusive Bag Mon- ster is supposed to be haunting the Union tomorrow as well. Student will be able to active- ly participate in different activ- ities around the Union in addi- tion to hearing from some pas- sionate speakers. From 12 - 1 p.m. there will be speakers, including Ben Cham- pion, director of sustainability. Speakers will talk about the his- tory of Earth Day, the goals and purpose of the event, and what we should be doing to make the future a better place. “Earth Day was a hallmark event, and campuses had very large attendance across the na- tion and had huge turnouts to celebrate the earth and pro- mote preservation of natural re- sources as efforts to control pol- lution,” Champion said. “We’ve come a long way since that time with good environmental laws and ways of regulating pollu- tion, but many of the core chal- lenges of that time remain core challenges today. We still do not have an economy that is based upon renewable resources’ use, and we still don’t know how to provide an abundant stan- dard of living for our society. That’s what Earth Day is still all about.” Also during this time, there will be a call to action from the SEA. SEA members will be giv- ing a speeches about their dec- laration. “It’s about K-State coming to- gether and Manhattan coming together to say ‘Hey, what do we want for the next 10 years? What are we going to do about that?” said SEA Vice-President Zack Pistora. The event has lots of fun ac- tivities but also stresses the im- portance of long-term think- ing. Pistora believes the event will show K-State is not just celebrating but trying to create a better future through aware- ness and activism.

Chief Luther Standing Bear once said, “There is a road in the hearts of all of us, hidden and seldom traveled, which leads to an unknown, secret place.”
Discovering one’s self is a journey ev-eryone takes. While some are certain of themselves and the direction their road will take them, some become lost. For a few rare people, like Cyndi Jones, the road finds them.
Jones is a junior in biology. She is also the vice-president of the Native Ameri-can Student Association and one-quarter Kumeyaay, but she did not know this up until a few years ago.
Jones’ father, Donald, realized while growing up that he did not look like his parents and wondered if he might be ad-opted. Then one day, Donald’s father died and his mother told him the truth: the man he knew as his father was not. Don-ald was the result of a brief romance be-tween his mother and a Native American
in California. The man he knew as his fa-ther had raised him as his own son, keep-ing his origins a secret.
Shortly after that, Donald learned that his real father was dead. He died before Donald had a chance to connect with him and introduce him to his own fam-ily. Jones, the second of Donald’s three daughters, was 15 years old at this time.
While they were unaware of their heri-tage for most of their lives, Jones said she and her sisters have always had an inter-est in natural medicine and art, such as beadwork. In fact, Jones’ older sister, Jes-sica, tracked down their great aunt, Vera, in California to ask for a photograph of their long-lost grandfather so she could draw a portrait of him.
Jones has been in contact with Vera ever since. She had the opportunity to go to California and meet some of her cous-ins, but Vera was out of town and could not meet her.
Jones has spent the last few years learn-ing more about the Kumeyaay people and about Native artwork from books. One of the best opportunities to learn about Na-tive culture, however, came in the form of another type of art: music.
While eating lunch in the K-State Stu-dent Union one day last year, she heard drums being played. Curious, she fol-
lowed the sound and discovered the Na-tive American Student Association’s Her-itage Day Celebration was in full swing. She met Georgia Perez, advisor for the as-sociation, and began attending meetings.
By January, Jones became vice president of the association.
“I don’t think a lot of people know we exist. I didn’t know we existed until Her-itage Day last year,” said Jones. “It would be excellent to have more people. You don’t have to be Native American to join. It’s open to all who want to learn.”
The association has provided Jones with many resources to learn more about Na-tive art, culture and life. Last May, Jones went to her first powwow at the Haskell Indian Nations University in Lawrence. It was also the first powwow for Angela Tucker, graduate student in entomology and treasurer of the association.
“We had a good time,” said Tucker. “Good dancing, good food.”
Both Jones and Tucker said they en-joyed the frybread, a staple food for many Natives, and they would like to go back to the Haskell powwow this year.
Jones would also like to go back to Cal-ifornia to get to know her Native fami-ly better. She has given some thought to registering with her tribe, the Viejas Band of Kumeyaay Indians, and spoken to her great aunt Vera about it. Learning more about Native culture has become impor-tant in Jones’ life.
“I think it’s really important to know where you come from,” said Jones.
Student shares life journey, native american culture
Editor’s note: This is part three of a three-part series of profiling students or campus staff of Native American descent.

I went to Forum Hall in the Union Monday night, where I had the pleasure of watching the movie “Smoke Signals” and hear-ing director Chris Eyre talk about the film. Not as many students showed up for the event as I would have liked to see, but there was a decent crowd.
Before the movie, I learned that some of the students were there for extra credit for a class. These students, despite only being there for their grades, seemed to really enjoy themselves. The mov-ie made them laugh and think. They walked out of the theater with smiles on their faces and helped themselves to the table of cookies and punch outside.
I was delighted that they were there for extra credit because it was a win-win situation. It meant more people showed up to the event, and it meant the students not only got extra credit for their class, but also got exposed to a cultural experience that they might not have ever thought to try on their own.
If it’s such a win-win, why don’t more professors use extra credit opportunities like this to encourage students to broaden their horizons? Why don’t they use extra credit to encourage stu-dents to try something they’ve never done before and learn from it, like attend the Central Kan-sas Japanese Festival or listen to a guest speaker talk about juvenile violence in America?
I have one professor this year who gives us extra credit oppor-tunities by attending plays and other events, and she makes an-nouncements at the beginning of almost every single class to let us know what’s available for us. I have another who is complete-ly against the idea of extra cred-it, but still announces upcom-ing department-related events at the beginning of almost every sin-gle class.
I completely understand my second professor’s reasons for never giving extra credit. She’s trying to teach us responsibility, making us raise our grades on our own through hard work and not because we utilized a free ride.
Unfortunately, this means not as many students attend these events. Some of them sound very interesting, and I’m sure oth-er students think so as well, but unless it’s something they’ve al-ready been exposed to and know for sure that they like, they’re less
motivated to go.I can assure you professors, as
a student, it’s not that we’re not interested in trying new things or that we’re greedy for those ex-tra points. Many times, it’s a mat-ter of motivation. Extra credit is a great motivator, just like work-ing for the Collegian is. With a few exceptions, I can pick what events I want to cover for the newspaper, and I frequently try to choose things I’ve never tried be-fore or don’t know much about.
When I’m not doing it for the paper, I’m far, far less likely to at-tend the event, even if it’s some-thing I’m interested in, because motivation is an elusive beast. I don’t feel like walking all the way to campus because my com-fortable bed is here and I have a modest collection of science fic-tion movies on DVD. You pro-fessors can’t tell me you don’t get bitten by the lazy bug on your days off. We all do.
This is why I use the Collegian to get motivated. I have to go be-cause it’s my job, and that’s one of the many things I love about
my job. I love to try new things.My professor who does not be-
lieve in extra credit wants more students to attend these events, but she’s not willing to bribe us for it. I respect that, but I also have a suggestion for her and others like her: if you don’t want to make it extra credit, make it a homework assignment.
Before the other students form a mob and hunt me down, allow me to give an example of why I believe this is a good alternative to extra credit.
My first semester at K-State, I took an awesome class called “The History of Rock and Roll.” One of the required assignments for that class was that we had to attend either a concert or some kind of live music event and write a short paper about it. When the professor announced this in the class, I could see everybody’s eyes light up, then fade, then look a little wistful. You could read their trains of thought so easily: “Wow! I get to go to a concert for home-work! Aw, but then I have to write a stupid paper about it. Oh,
well, it’s still a concert, and it will be fun. I wish all my homework was like that.”
Try to think of it in terms of modern parenting: If you can’t get your kids to eat vegetables, you find clever ways to disguise vegetables as things your kid will eat.
If parents have no qualms about tricking their children into eating something that’s good for them, professors should not have any qualms about tricking kids into expanding their cultural boundaries by giving extra cred-it opportunities. And if you abso-lutely don’t believe in extra cred-it, then try tricking kids by dis-guising it as an easy homework assignment.
Give it a try. It’s good for them, and you might discover to your surprise that the students actual-ly like it.

When President Obama signed the health care bill into law in March, the legislation was hailed by some as a major step to-ward giving Americans and small businesses more control of their health care. It was derided by others as a major step to-ward raising costs and lim-iting access.
Regardless of one’s perspective on the mat-ter, what may have been lost in the commotion are some of the effects that the legislation will have for people with mental health and substance use prob-lems. These disorders of-ten get overlooked even though they are as com-mon and as life threaten-ing as many other health problems. In fact, an esti-mated one in four adults suffers from a diagnosable mental disorder in a giv-en year.
The new law also in-
cludes parity for mental health and addiction treat-ment and bans discrimina-tion for pre-existing condi-tions. It requires that cov-erage be available for de-pendent children up to age 26, a noteworthy change given that mental illness often strikes during the young adult years when individuals are more likely to be without insurance or treatment.
With May being Men-tal Health Month, one would think that commu-nity mental health centers would be celebrating the bill’s provisions for men-tal health and substance use disorders. The reali-ty is that many aspects of the bill do not go into ef-fect for several years, and many states across the country are already im-posing drastic budget cuts on mental health and sub-stance abuse services which are taking a heavy
toll on individuals, fami-lies, communities and pro-vider agencies.
The State of Kansas, for example, is preparing to implement cuts to mental health grant funding for the fourth consecutive fis-cal year while community mental health centers such as Pawnee Mental Health Services are experiencing an increase in the demand for services. Since July 1, 2007, Pawnee’s state grant funding has been cut by 40 percent. The number of people receiving servic-es from Pawnee increased by 7 percent between FY2008 and FY2009.
The reality is that as Kansas drastically reduc-es its grant funding for its citizens living with men-tal health and addiction disorders, its citizens and their illnesses do not go away. Instead, they wind up in more expensive treatment settings such as
emergency rooms, psychi-atric hospitals, nursing fa-cilities and homeless shel-ters. Others end up in jail or elsewhere in the crim-inal justice system. Pub-lic policy which saves a lit-tle money now and spends a lot of money later is par-ticularly shortsighted and counterproductive given that we know treatment works.
You have a stake in the decisions being made right now about the state’s FY2011 budget. It’s time to address the fiscal and social consequences that untreated mental illness and substance use has on our state budget. Please contact your state legisla-tors and ask them to sup-port state grant funding for the community mental health system.

Obesity in the United States has become common-place. It usually is the result of unhealthy eating and lack of exercise. Multiple studies show it can also be linked to consumption of soft drinks and other sugary drinks.
Michael Jacobson, Center for Science in the Public In-terest, said “While many fac-tors promote weight gain, soft drinks are the only food or beverage that has been shown to increase the risk of overweight and obesi-ty,” according to a CBSnews.com article. The Senate Fi-nance Committee has pro-posed a three-cent tax on sodas. This would help close the gap in our national bud-get, and help reduce obesity in the United States.
There has been some re-cent criticism of the soda tax. Some people fear that taxing soda is just the start. Other sweet foods might soon follow, they say. ‘Where will it end?’ they cry. These people need to set-tle down. There are logi-cal reasons for this soda tax, and it’s not going to lead to the taxation of any essen-tial items.
Imposing a tax on un-healthy liquids is no new game. The government al-ready has what some call “sin” taxes on things like al-cohol and cigarettes. It log-ically follows that other un-healthy items, such as soda, maybe taxed as well. There’s no conspiracy here to start taxing everyone’s dinner. They’re simply trying to bal-ance the budget and keep Americans healthy.
Soda is unhealthy and studies have shown direct links between obesity and drinking soda, according to a publichealthadvocacy.com article. In the study, “Bub-bling Over: Soda Consump-tion and Its Link to Obesi-ty in California,” researchers found a strong correlation between drinking soda and obesity. Researchers from the UCLA Center for Health Policy Research and the California Center for Public Health Advocacy said adults who drink at least one soda a day are 27 percent more likely to be overweight than those who didn’t drink soda, according to the study.
Another CBSnews.com article talks about another study, this one done by re-searchers at the Universi-ty of North Carolina at Cha-pel Hill, and analyzed na-tional beverage consump-tion patterns for more than 73,000 U.S citizens, age two or older. This research “left researchers concluding that the obesity epidemic could be curtailed if Americans re-duce their intake of sweet-ened soft drinks and fruit drinks,” the article said.
According to a CBSnews.com article, studies have shown that small taxes on sodas only result in low-in-come families drinking less soda. There was no differ-ence in overall soda con-sumption. The lead author of the new research, Roland Sturm, said if the taxes were around 18 cents per dollar, a larger difference could be seen, according to the same article.
What we need then is a larger tax on soda to help eliminate obesity in America and to help balance the bud-get. The proposed tax for the 2010-11 budget does not in-clude diet sodas and is only three cents. That is a good start, but we can do better. It’s been proven that soda is bad for your health, and it’s been proven that raising tax-es on soda drops the con-sumption rate. We must act on this information and cre-ate a tax on soda that makes a difference.

Did you see people dressed up in 80s-style clothes on Monday, or have you wondered why there have been lun-cheons on the Quad the past couple of days? Well, this week is Greek Week 2010. Greek Week is jammed full of events that are reminiscent of Home-coming week in the fall.
Similar to Homecoming week, fra-ternities and sororities are paired up to participate in events and earn points in order to promote friendly competition within the Greek community.
The competition began on Monday night with Greek Olympics. The exciting games included tug-of-war, chariot rac-es, shot put, egg jousting, dodge ball and water balloon toss. The competitions got so intense an ambulance even had to make an appearance in order to assist an injured tug-of-war participant.
Besides watching people duke it out in tug-of-war, I found egg jousting to be the most hilarious, confusing, random, and entertaining event I have seen so far this week. After the female partici-pant clambers up onto the male’s shoul-ders, another team member hands her
a rolled up newspaper. Throughout this entire process, the male adorns a pair of pantyhose on his head, with an egg held in place by the pantyhose. Each team tries to break the egg of other teams us-ing only the rolled up newspaper. The winning team is the one that keeps their egg intact the longest. Needless to say, I was both mesmerized and entirely con-fused throughout the entire competition.
Later in the week, Greek members got geared up for a particularly spe-cial evening on Wednesday night. Greek Idol, which was held on Bosco’s Pla-za, is a vocal talent competition. While watching members of the Greek com-munity belt out some tunes, Greek members were able to reflect on and ap-preciate the talent in their particular or-ganization.
Although Greek Week simply seems to consist of fun and games, the events certainly did not lack substance. Throughout the week, Greeks have do-nated to CASA (Court Appointed Spe-cial Advocate) and collected canned goods. Also, this afternoon there will be a trash pickup event for which each fra-ternity/sorority pairing is assigned par-ticular city blocks to clean up.
After having the opportunity to par-ticipate in unique events each day of this week, I am left feeling satisfied, en-tertained, and excited for Greek Week 2011.

Colloquially referred to as “home cooking,” recipes that have been passed down for generations and are common staples for many house-holds are being served up by myri-ad restaurants these days. These res-taurants are generally the only type found in smaller, rural Kansas areas and, speaking from experience, gen-erally pack a very well stocked home crowd.
Such is the case of our local trav-el-to and only restaurant on the road. Making the half hour trip to Nelson’s Landing in Leonardville, Kan., I was in search of family atmo-sphere and tried-and-true recipes.
Luckily for our group, we arrived just before the crowd hit and we were seated in a fairly short amount of time. Others, as we observed, were standing for a good half hour before seating would open up. Awkward-ly, however, there is no real wait-ing area, and with it being a smaller restaurant, we found ourselves star-ing down the hungry guests from our table. Feeling like something out of Discovery Channel, we couldn’t help but be playfully concerned that someone would jump the enclosure and steal our delicious food.
Once seated, we had the luxury of being hosted by probably the single best waitress I have witnessed dur-ing my encounters. Not only was she quick and smart, but she was fun-ny and knew when an opportunity to interact with the customers was a good idea.
Drinks ordered and menus in hand, we got down to business at Nelson’s Landing. Serving up the normal host of bar food appetizers, we took in a variety of the regular fa-vorites.
To begin, sweet potato fries, moz-zarella sticks, onion rings and fried pickle spears. There was plenty of all and we dug in.
The coating on each and ev-ery dish was so crispy, so crunchy and golden brown that I was sure it couldn’t be as good inside. But it was.
Assuredly, from a cook with plenty of experience, the appetizers we ate were perfectly concocted. Normal-ly, when you eat these finger foods, you get covered in grease, crumbs absolutely everywhere and the filling doesn’t mesh well with the coating. They have it figured out in Leonard-ville. There was just the right amount of cheese in each mozzarella stick and every single pickle spear was coated consistently and thorough-ly. Hidden almost, amid this pletho-ra of food, was a simple yet very del-icate addition. Two small loaves of bread were brought out and with each a small cup of butter. But wow did they nail the butter—sweet but-ter with almost a hint of cinnamon or brown sugar; it took my mind away from the fried food entirely and had me anxiously awaiting the main course.
With a special on prime rib and
brisket, I had to go the meat and po-tatoes route. For a very nice price, I was handed a pile of brisket with homemade mashed potatoes and gravy and a nice cup of green beans. I couldn’t wait to dig in, but I was in shock from what I witnessed across the table from me.
Our party had ordered a variety of foods, but one single dish stuck out like a giant panda in a petting zoo. Chicken fried steak. Not just a chick-en fried steak, but the single largest, prettiest chicken fried steak I’ve seen to this day. This too was perfect-ly brown and with the most crunchy coating and just enough country style gravy to cover the top. Needless to say, we held those who had or-dered the chicken-fry in high regard and even higher for those who could finish it.
Cutting into my brisket I noticed the sweet hint of smoke and a very tender piece of meat. The flavor was robust and full, but the meat itself was bordering on dry. I think a bit more juice would’ve made the day, but a splash of their BBQ sauce from the brisket sandwich was also a per-fect combination.
The potatoes were so much like home. With some skin still cooked in and chunky so you know they’re fresh, the white gravy was just pep-pery enough to perfect the duo. The potatoes held up well for themselves; they sat high and the gravy sat on top, not like many restaurants where you get a creamy blob of potatoes that the gravy seeps into. I’m talk-ing about a firm but delicate cloud of
rich, buttery potato. Admittedly, I’m not always a veg-
gie man when it comes to green beans. I like them plain, not done up with bacon and such, and that’s what I got — beans that were actual-ly green and deep with fresh flavors. I would’ve eaten two helpings if I’d had room.
Extra room there was none of af-ter dessert however. As would be par for the course, Nelson’s Land-ing serves up homemade pie to fin-ish off a meal, and there were plen-ty of kinds to try. Apple crumb, ba-nana cream and peach pies littered our table.
The apple pie was full of flavor but a bit lacking on the appeal of the ap-ple and filling. A delicious crust and a dollop of ice cream kept the sweet treat nice, but the real impress-er was the banana cream pie. With more true fruit flavor and a chunky-creamy mix on top of that perfect crust, I would stop by even just for the pie.
Delicious is the single fitting term for this restaurant. With a sports bar attitude and filled to the brim with local hero Jordy Nelson’s memorabil-
ia, Nelson’s Landing is a must see for any true Wildcat fan. The wall decor was not the eye catcher of the night, however, as Jordy himself made a proper visit, helping serve food and keeping the restaurant moving for-ward. You really can’t beat the at-mosphere when such good food is mixed with such a great staff.

Taking Off

After showcasing their talents within the borders of the Sunflower State last week at the KU Relays, members of the K-State track and field team will now try their luck against some of the nation’s elite.
The Wildcats will get that opportunity when 27 athletes participate in the 101st Drake Relays, which started yesterday in Des Moines, Iowa. Several athletes are coming off strong performances in Law-rence, where head coach Cliff Rovelto said the team did well despite the lack of competition.
“I thought the level of competition in some events was okay, but in a lot of events, it wasn’t,” Rovelto said. “People were able to raise their excitement level, which is difficult when you’re facing not as much competition. I thought we did good things all in all.”
Talented athletes shouldn’t be hard to come by at Drake, however, as the pres-tigious four-day meet includes a field of more than 7,200 participants from hun-dreds of school across the nation. That field covers several levels of competition, ranging from high school girls and boys to Olympians.
Rovelto, who is in his 22nd year at K-State and 17th as the head coach, said this is one of the two most prestigious meets in the country and the competi-tive atmosphere should make for a fun weekend. He also added there are sever-al individual performers that he is look-ing forward to watching.
“Year in and year out it’s always one of the premier meets in the country,” he said. “You don’t really get that national flavor that much any more. At Drake and at Penn, you do get that. I’m looking for-ward to watching [our athletes] compete against some very good people.”
K-State will have a few athletes partic-ipating in field competition, but the ma-jority of the Wildcats’ competition will take place on the track. One event Rov-elto said he is looking forward to is the women’s steeplechase. Three Wildcats – seniors Beverly Ramos and Megan-Anne Perrin, as well as freshman Marti-na Tresch – will compete in the event.
“All of them have been training well,” Rovelto said of the trio. “This is Bever-ly’s first steeplechase of the season. Me-gan-Anne ran at KU and did a nice job, but she’s still capable of running fast-er.”
Ramos, a two-time All-American, placed 11th in the 5,000-meter at the Mt. SAC Relays last weekend. Perrin set a personal best in the steeplechase last season. Her time of 10:54.73 currently ranks third in school history.
Four K-State men will get the op-portunity to run in a unique event, as the tandem of Balazs Baji, Jeffrey Jul-mis, Moritz Cleve and Mantas Silkaus-kas will compete in the shuttle hurdle relay. The event, in which four athletes each run a 110-meter hurdle, isn’t held at many meets. According to Rovelto,
the rarity of the event can pose a prob-lem for several schools.
“You’ve got to have four kids who can hurdle and it’s not very common to have four hurdlers with the caliber that we have,” he said. “I told the guys they should have a very good chance of making it to the final and competing for win.”
Thursday’s competition opens with heptathlon and decathlon action. The meet will conclude with the triple jump on Saturday. All events will take place at Drake Stadium.

MEn’S BASkEtBALL
As the final seconds ticked off the clock in Salt Lake City on March 27 and the K-State Wildcats dejectedly headed off the floor, it all started.
The mission: build on the momentum produced by K-State’s memorable Elite Eight run. The Wild-cats had just completed their most successful tournament run in 22 years and arguably the most memorable season in school history. Without success on the recruiting trail to match the on court spectacle however, the 2009-10 season will be just that: a memory.
Many fans and prog-nosticators alike predict next year’s team will be as good, if not better, than the on court product this past season. That may very well be true, but there’s a gaping hole staring the Wildcats in the face after next season. Jacob Pullen, Dominique Sutton and Curtis Kelly, all key play-ers in the K-State program, will depart due to gradu-ation. The only way to regroup and move on with similar success is to bring in a crop of highly talented prospects to fill the void.
For a blueprint of how to build on a tremendous season, Frank Martin and the Wildcats can simply look 250 miles east on I-70. After bursting onto the national scene with an Elite Eight run in 2008-09, Mike Anderson and the Missouri Tigers have parlayed their tournament trek into an extremely profitable venture on the recruiting trail. According to rivals.com, Missouri’s 2010 recruiting class features a pair of highly sought after 4-star recruits as well as one of the top 20 prospects in America. One of those 4-star re-cruits, Phil Pressey, is an elusive point guard from Dallas, Texas, who is a perfect fit for Anderson’s up and down style.
The crown jewel of Mike Anderson’s recruit-ing haul is familiar to K-State fans and the Wildcat coaching staff alike. Tony Mitchell, the 15th-ranked player overall in the class of 2010, was at one time a relatively unknown prospect who pledged to play in Manhattan. Mitch-ell then blew up on the national scene and pulled a complete 180 on Frank Martin and opted to sign with Missouri. The Tigers’ newly found success paid large dividends at K-State’s expense.
So far, K-State’s 2011 recruiting class has one member in the form of Nino Williams, a 6-foot-5 small forward from Leav-enworth, Kan. Williams is a solid prospect, but if the Wildcats want to consis-tently compete with teams like MU, Kansas and Bay-lor in the coming years, there is plenty of work to be done on the recruiting trail.
One of the many reasons for the gradual demise of the K-State foot-ball program during coach Bill Snyder’s first tenure was fthe faiture to parlay a Big 12 championship in 2003 into necessary success in the world of recruiting. Wildcat Nation deserves better this time around.

Black curtains made the huge space smaller and 30-some purple-themed tables decorated the cement floor. Little kids ran around, hugging and laughing and pointing to the larger-than-life faces of K-State basketball players displayed on a smaller curtain.
For the K-State men’s basketball banquet last night, Bramlage Coliseum was completely transformed. Alumni mingled with the players, talking, getting autographs and taking pictures. Highlights from K-State games ran on the Jumbotron and another screen.
The team milled around in suits, chatting with everyone who came around, reminiscing about the season, answering questions and looking ahead to next season.
“It’s a great feeling to know that we have so many people that support us, that have had our back, before I was here and years and years before us,” freshman Jordan Henriquez-Roberts said.
As people of all ages visited and talked, there was a sense of the past and a sense of the future.
Three players have played their last game as a Wildcat, and all three received awards at the banquet.
Senior Luis Colon will have a degree in criminology in a few weeks and he is already flying to Puerto Rico to play professional basketball on the weekends before he does so full time in the summer. Senior Denis Clemente said earlier in the season he plans to do likewise. Senior Chris Merriewether has a job as a financial analyst with ConocoPhillips, so he will be moving and getting married within the year.
On the other hand, the Wildcats return 10 of 13 players on the roster of this Elite Eight team, provided junior Jacob Pullen decides to stay instead of pursuing an NBA career.
Junior Dominique Sutton had his right hand wrapped up after a recent surgery. He injured it in January but decided to wait for the off-season to have the surgery. He said the recovery is going really well and that he is in less pain than before.
Sutton said one joyous part of this season has been the support of his daughters, especially the oldest, who calls him after games to tell him she watched him on TV and that he did well.
“It was a joyful thing to hear from her and just know that she’s really into the game of basketball,” Sutton said. “She sees it on TV and gets really excited.”
Sophomore Jamar Samuels said the team had two weeks off after the season, but the workouts have resumed, and the players are feeling the effects of strength and conditioning coach Scott Greenawalt’s intense program.
“I would say the first five days of the workouts, at least six or seven guys threw up already,” Samuels said. “It’s been tough, but everybody’s been working pretty hard.”
Even with the workouts, the off-season is obviously less demanding than the season. Samuels said basketball is not really in the way any more, so he is just trying to get his studies right.
“I feel like a new person,” Samuels said. “I’m a regular college student now.”
Yesterday the basketball team was recognized for all their efforts, but it is already back to work, getting stronger and better for next season.

The Greek houses held their annual Greek Idol competition last night as part of Greek Week. Students crowded Bosco Plaza to hear Greek students perform.
A group of members from Alpha Delta Pi and Lambda Ki Alpha won first place for their performance of “American Honey” by Lady Antebellum. David Zur-ita, John Michael Yingling, Kyle Cooper, Jamie Schreiner, and Hillary Wilson were from the group.
Wilson said that she was not nervous because the group had been practicing for a couple weeks. The band has a lot of fun, she said, and that helps ease the nervous-ness. She hopes they can continue to per-form and learn more songs.
“The best part about it is the people we’re playing with,” Schreiner said. “It’s been a really good experience.”
Zurita said that without any one member, none of it would have been pos-sible.
In second place was Sam Rigsby and in third Mallory Davis. Similar to the pop-ular show American Idol, three judges cri-tiqued performers. After all the competi-tors had performed, they announced the winners.
Robby Haynes of Acacia Fraterni-ty won first place at last year’s competi-tion. He returned this year and performed “Now and Forever” by Richard Marx.
“He wrote it for his wife,” Haynes said. “I’m getting married July 10 and ded-icated this song for my fiancee.”
Singing a cappella, Courtney Pen-nington of Kappa Kappa Gamma said she was more nervous than the first time she performed last year. She introduced her song with some audience interaction, she said, to have them on her side.
This year, the Greek houses sold all of their wristbands for the week with an overwhelming turnout. The Greek Idol awards points to the Greek houses of the winners as part of the Greek competition throughout the week. Currently, Kappa Delta, Sigma Nu, Phi Gamma Delta, and Beta Sigma Psi are in first place among the Greek houses.
David Allen of Pi Kappa Alpha was in charge of organizing the event.
“It did great, we had a lot of great performances,” Allen said. He estimated that 2,000 people were in attendance.
Copper Mach, M.C. for the evening, said that seeing Bosco Plaza crowded was a good sight. It was good support for Greek Week, he said.

Working as an ad sales rep for the Collegian definitely gave me an advantage over other applicants during my job search. I had professional experience meeting deadlines, proofing ads and working both individually and as part of a team - all tasks I complete routinely at my current position with TracyLocke. My day-to-day interaction with Collegian clients and the internal creative staff made my transition from college to the advertising industry successful.
