city commission

Mayor looks amend state traffic laws tonight By Corene Brisendine Kansas State Collegian

Each year the Manhattan City Commission reviews and adopts the “Standard Traffic Ordinance for Kansas Cities” that regulates state traffic laws. Each city in Kansas may adopt these standards as written or modify them as they see fit, said Mayor Bob Strawn. This year, the mayor initiated a modification to prohibit the use of any wireless communication device while driving, including “hands-free” devices. It does allow people to use their cell phones to make emergency calls and emergency personnel to make cell phone calls while driving.

Great Room designated group study area By Danny Davis

Kansas State Collegian

The administration at Hale Library recently made a change to the divisions within the library. Previously, The Great Room had been designated a “quiet zone,” a place for individual students to work on their homework without disturbances. However, recently the it became a place of commotion, thus the designation has been lifted by library officials. Given the size of the room and the lack of staff supervision, it was hard to maintain a peaceful atmosphere, said Roberta Johnson, director of financial services and facilities for K-State Libraries. “It is conducive to groups,” Johnson said. The vast space had become a breeding ground for collaborative work, she said. As more group projects are assigned, students look to the library as a place to work together. Therefore, Johnson said library administrative officials decided to make The Great Room a collaborative work environment. The area no longer is a quiet zone but rather one that welcomes groups of people to work together.

Johnson said another benefit of changing the zone of The Great Room is for the murals that are on display within it. The Great Room is one of the most requested places to see within the library. Hale restored two of the murals this summer and plans to restore two more next summer. “We’ve spent a lot of money restoring the murals,” Johnson said. In the past, it was difficult to give guided tours of the room while limiting the noise level. Tour guides had to explain the room and murals before guests went into the room in an effort to keep from distracting students. Replacing The Great Room as a quiet study area, the first floor now serves for individual study with separate space zones in seating, Johnson said. The changes took effect this past summer. “[The transition] has gone real smoothly,” said Jane Schillie, associate dean of libraries. “We haven’t had any complaints.” Schillie said officials at Hale have more in store for The Great Room. “We have long-term plans for significant restoration,” Schillie said. “This room has

The space in the past was subject to commotion and collaborative group work. great historical significance to the state.” The library is aiming to restore the room to its appearance at the time it was built. Schillie said the Hale staff is working with a local architect to draft a design of how the room might have originally appeared. “The lighting has been changed [since it’s construction],” Schillie said. “A lot of things have changed.” In the meantime, the library

is focusing on implementing the changes it has already made to The Great Room. Schillie said the library staff hopes the numerous signs spread throughout the library will remind students of the change within the room. Students have recognized the need for this change, as well. “It is really hard to find a quiet place to study in the library,” said Mickelle Schneider, junior in fine arts. “Hopefully this will change that.”

K-State announces provost, senior vp candidates By Tim Schrag Kansas State Collegian

K-State is one step closer to selecting a provost and senior vice president for the university. John English, dean of the College of Engineering and chair of the provost and senior vice president search committee, announced the four final candidates for the position Monday in an e-mail to faculty and staff. The candidates include April

Mason, dean of the College of Applied Human Sciences at Colorado State University; Dr. Ralph Richardson, dean of the College of Veterinary Medicine at K-State; Maureen Grasso, dean of the Graduate School at the University of Georgia; and Marvin Kaiser, dean of the College of Liberal Arts and Sciences at Portland State University. Richardson, a graduate of KState, said he is both honored and excited about the nomination. “Having been a part of this

university from my undergraduate days and then again as dean, I think there are great possibilities for the future, and I appreciate the leadership we have in President Schulz and the other leaders of this university,” Richardson said. English said the candidates will go through an interview process with the search committee as well as a public forum. The forums will take place from 3:45 to 5 p.m. in the K-State Alumni Center on

Provost Candidate Forums 3:45 p.m.-5 p.m. Alumni Center Ball Room After the candidates complete an interview process, the search committee will make a recommendation before President Kirk Schulz makes the final decision for provost and senior vice president.

their respective dates. English also said the position of the provost is at the helm of academic programs and holds K-State together. He encouraged students to attend the forums and give feedback through the online survey prepared and conducted by the search committee after each forum. English said upon completion of the interviews, the committee will make a recommendation for President Kirk Schulz to hire. “We hope to have, within a couple weeks after the last interview, a recommendation,” English said. English also said he encourages students, faculty and staff members to contact himself or the 24 members of the search committee with their questions. Each candidate’s curriculum vitae, which is essentially a compilation of an individual’s academic career, is posted on the Web at k-state.edu/provost/searches.

Article 14, Section 103.1. (New section). This section was added for the Commission’s consideration upon the Mayor’s request. The section makes it unlawful for any driver of a motor vehicle to operator use a wireless communication device while driving a motor vehicle. The proposed addition contains a definition of “wireless communication device” that is identical to the state law to make RCPD’s enforcement of both laws consistent. Also, like the state law, the STO section does not permit “hands-free” use, but it allows use by a driver to call law enforcement or to summon emergency personnel. The law does not apply to the use of such devices by law enforcement and emergency personnel, when used in the course of their duties. “We are going to move to ‘preventative law’ not ‘after the fact law,’” Strawn said. “One of the prime responsibilities of the government is to maintain the safety of the citizens, locally.”

SafeRide coordinator needed By Karen Ingram Kansas State Collegian

The Student Governing Association is accepting applications for a new SafeRide coordinator. The SafeRide coordinator is responsible for communicating with the cab service, working with local bars and businesses, marketing development and soliciting donors and sponsors for the program. The coordinator is required to work for five hours a week. “To sum it up in a few words, the [coordinator’s] job is making sure that SafeRide is running smoothly and meeting students’ needs,” said Student Body President Dalton Henry, senior in agricultural communications and journalism and agricultural economics. SafeRide is a program that provides students with an opportunity to get a ride home if they have been drinking or if they feel they are in a dangerous or threatening situation. SafeRide runs from Thursday to Sunday, 11 p.m. to 3 a.m., and

ConocoPhillips pledges $3M donation to engineering, business programs By Tyler Sharp Kansas State Collegian

One of the largest energy corporations in the United States has reached an agreement with K-State regarding a significant financial contribution. ConocoPhillips, the third-largest integrated energy company in the U.S., was recognized in a ceremony during the K-State and Tennessee Tech football game Sept. 26. The corporation signed a fiveyear commitment and gave a gift cumulatively totaling $3 million. The primary beneficiaries of the agreement and gift are the College of Engineering and College of Business Administration. The five-year commitment, which totals $2.5 million, will benefit a variety of programs. The programs include the Center for Sustainable Energy faculty and student awards, the Excellence in Business Ethics program in the College of Business Administration, the Project Impact Summer Bridge Program for incoming College of Engineering and Business Administration freshmen, and technology and equipment in the new welcome center planned for K-State, according to a KSU Foundation press release. ConocoPhillips’ funding interests at the university are diverse and appreciated, said Mitzi Richards, senior director of corporate relations for the KSU Foundation. “They recognize and invest in program excellence in all areas of the university where they re-

cruit students as well as support for Career and Employment Services and our president’s office,” Richards said. “They provide ongoing support to make sure that discretionary needs at the university can be addressed.” John English, dean of the College of Engineering, described the investment in his college as “awesome.” “This is an incredible gift making a huge impact for the college,” English said. “These types of investment by industry are priceless in view of research agenda and our recruiting and retention.” The Center for Sustainable Energy will benefit through providing the center’s professor with discretionary funds, he said. The professor will have the title of ConocoPhillips Professor of Sustainable Energy, according to the media release. Student awards will be given to undergraduate or graduate students in any curriculum who are completing projects in sustainable energy. In the College of Business, the department head of management will administer the ConocoPhillips Excellence in Business Ethics funds and use them for development workshops, business ethics case competitions, lecture series and ethics forums. Funding for the Project Impact Summer Bridge Program will help freshmen adjust to their new academic environments. Administered by the Office of Diversity, the program will also allow participants to connect with multicultural student leaders and orga-

nizations, beginning the advisement process while introducing students to campus. “The retention rates for students who go through these programs are staggering,” English said. “It’s a great tool to help incoming freshmen learn what college is about.” Perhaps the most well-known aspect of the financial contribution is the SPIRIT Scholars program. The program is in its third year at K-State and provides scholarships, internships and even jobs — all through ConocoPhillips. “The SPIRIT Scholarships are incredible in terms of scholarships, internships and jobs upon graduation they have offered. This type of support is the future of K-State, and we are so grateful that ConocoPhillips would step up for this,” English said. Matt Ebert, senior in computer engineering and a SPIRIT scholar, said the experience is far more than the scholarships students receive. “They also provide enrichment activities and mentors,” Ebert said. “Just a partnership and learning about the energy industry. It’s a great opportunity for the scholars.” Richards said extending the agreement is still an option. “The relationship is one that ... we have always worked closely to identify what the corporation’s needs are and how those might have synergies with what K-State’s priorities are,” she said. “That will be an ongoing discussion.”

Reagenomics, tax policies responsible for recession To ensure that the U.S.’s future is provided for by responsible policies, it is crucial to criticize the past performance of our government. In particular, we must carefully consider the government’s social services and taxation. A historical economic examination, such as those provided by experts like Allen Smith, myles provides essential inforikenberry mation about the policies that have caused our problems with the economy and Social Security. This information allows us to adopt informed opinions about important decisions, like the creation of a public health care program and how to safely generate the revenues necessary to reduce our national debt. Smith is a nonpartisan retired professor of economics from the University of Eastern Illinois who tried to raise awareness about financially destructive government policies during countless radio and television interviews throughout the decades leading up to the 2008 crash. He is widely regarded as an authoritative source on the subject. In his book “The Big Lie: How Our Government Hoodwinked the Public, Emptied the S.S. Trust Fund, and Caused The Great Economic Collapse,” Smith said, “The United States of America had been gradually heading toward economic crises for a full quarter-century, ever since Ronald Reagan abandoned traditional economic policies in 1981 and launched the nation in a dangerous new direction.” The radical change in economic policy was not the only decision that led to the collapse, and it was not only the Reaganomics Republicans who were responsible: “President Clinton cooperated with

This just in, the Ugg game has broke nationwide. We have confirmation from both Iowa and Oklahoma. To the person who said the football team doesn’t bring much excitement: Did you even go to the last football game? Why does Snoop Dogg carry an umbrella? For da drizzle. That’s OK, worthless local cable company. I didn’t want to watch anything on Fox Sunday night anyway.

Illustration by Erin Logan Congressional Republicans in repealing the Glass-Steagall Act of 1933, [opening] the floodgates for mass mergers of companies in the financial industries. In 2000, by creating the budget-surplus myth, Clinton was unwittingly laying the foundation for George W. Bush’s devastating tax cuts. Those tax cuts, along with the deregulation of the banking industry, started the clock that would continue to tick until the Wall Street meltdown.” Critics of health care reform point to Social Security as an example of a failed government social service and argue that public health care is therefore also probably a bad idea. However, a historical analysis reveals that the politicians responsible for our current Social Security problem are the ideological and political polar opposites of those who support health care reform. It was obvious 26 years ago we would run into Social Security funding problems, and the solution was equally obvious: Social Security tax rates had to be raised so that a huge surplus could be generated that could be drawn upon as the costs of the program will eventually exceed the revenue from taxes. The solution was implemented in a Social Security payroll tax increase in 1983 and would have been successful except corrupt politicians spent all the money in

the place of revenues that would otherwise have had to come from taxation of the ultra-rich: “$2.4 trillion in accumulated surpluses is supposed to be safely locked up in the trust fund. “Sadly, there is not a single dollar of real money or any other kind of real asset in the trust fund. It contains only government IOUs that serve as accounting records of how much money the government has taken from Social Security and spent for other purposes.” The New Deal legislation of FDR and the similar policies of Lyndon B. Johnson and John F. Kennedy — taxing the wealthiest members of society and providing social services — are unpopular with some influential economic and political thinkers. These individuals have achieved a reversal of New Deal policies and thus jeopardized the solvency of our society. America must recognize Reaganomics for the disaster that it is and return to the kinds of governmental policies that built a strong American economy and society from the bottom up, starting with a strong public option for health care.

Influenza, H1N1 vaccines no sure thing We’ve all experienced it personally or know someone who has. You go to get your flu vaccine so you don’t get sick during the flu season, but then you get sick with a influenza-like illness days later. As you are lying in bed, too sick to greg go to class scott or work, you wonder if the vaccine is the cause of your illness. You think to yourself, “maybe I shouldn’t have gotten that shot.” Many of us who have experienced this have decided to never get another flu shot, but then came along the H1N1 strain. There is much hype surrounding H1N1, and we all have a personal responsibility and obligation to decide whether we should get the vaccine this fall. Since I have worked in the animal health industry making viral vaccines for three years

prior to coming to K-State, let me give you an inside glance into some of the components of this vaccine. First there is a chemical called squalene, which is added to increase the effectiveness of the vaccine. In a 2003 study, the researcher R.T. Kenney evaluated the safety of squalene and found out that “all rats injected with squalene (oil) adjuvants developed a disease that left them crippled, dragging their paralyzed hindquarters across their cages.” Another component in question is a chemical called thimerosal, which is a mercury-based preservative. Mercury has been known to be toxic for many centuries, causing muscle tremors, chest pain and difficulty breathing. What do the vaccine manufacturers say about these compounds? Nothing specifically, but if you do an online search for “flu vaccine insert,” you will see that the vaccine company Novartis admits the vaccine can cause a disease called Guillian-Barré’s syndrome.

GBS is a disease where muscle weakness occurs, followed by paralysis and sometimes death. Sounds an awful lot like the rats described in the previously mentioned study. In 1976, there was a similar outbreak of a swine flu, and the response of the government was to get everyone vaccinated. When all was said and done, more people died from GBS than the swine flu virus. The insert also admits that no proper studies have been performed to test the safety of the vaccine, and that pregnant women and children should not get the vaccine. This is the exact opposite from what the talking heads on FOX News and CNN tell us. While it is a fact that vaccines have helped eradicate smallpox and virtually eliminate diseases like polio from the first and second worlds, we must still question what we choose to put into our bodies. We must look at the possible consequences of our actions and ask ourselves whether the benefits outweigh the potential side effects.

This is especially the case with this H1N1 strain, where we see that it is no more dangerous than the seasonal flu, causing mild symptoms or in some cases, no symptoms at all. So instead of getting a risky injection this fall, we could instead choose to take good care of our bodies. We could get an adequate amount of sleep each night, take vitamin supplements (especially Vitamins D and E) and take immune system boosters like elderberry if we start to get sick (it has been shown to prevent the flu virus from infecting cells). And for those of you who disagree with me, or simply still decide to get vaccinated, please understand the consequences first and don’t take the shot because your government told you to do so.

Football turnaround stems from defense

K-State athletes enjoy unity between teams By Ashley Dunkak Kansas State Collegian

The much-publicized brawl between men’s basketball and football players at the University of Kansas brought attention to the idea that there are rivalries between different teams at schools. However, Wildcat players said that these rivalries are not an issue at K-State. “It’s just something I guess that happens,” senior offensive lineman Nick Stringer said. “People get fired up about something, and one thing leads to another. But I think here at K-State, guys try to avoid conflict like that, and we get along pretty well.” Athletic Director John Currie said athletic competition is directed at KU, Missouri and other schools, not at other teams within the K-State program. “They don’t see themselves competing against each other,” Currie said. “They’re all competing for K-State. We’re supporting each other all the time.” Currie declined to comment on the incident at KU but said college is a time when students have to learn how to deal with different situations. Currie said part of the university experience is learning how to handle conflict without having your parents there to referee. Senior middle blocker Kelsey Chipman of the volleyball team said it is essential to have unity among student-athletes. She said it is important in general to have camaraderie between people of the university, and athletes are no different. She also said they are representatives of the university, and getting along is important. Head football coach Bill Snyder also said unity among people of K-State, not only athletes, is vital to the success and atmosphere of the school. “Have good relationships, for people to care about each other,” Snyder said. “[Student-athletes] all have a university that they’re a part of and that they represent in a very visible way, and I think to be positive with and about each other is a very positive thing in that regard. But why wouldn’t you have a good relationship with any student at Kansas State?” Stringer said the school has helped by scheduling athletic events so that athletes

Men’s Golf

Two K-State men compete in UMKC tourney By Grant Guggisberg Kansas State Collegian

The K-State men’s golf team sent two individuals to the Bill Ross Intercolegiate Monday. Junior Ross Geubelle and freshman Ben Juffer are competing strictly as individuals in the tournament hosted by the University of Missouri-Kansas City. The rest of the team did not make the trip and there will be no team score recorded for K-State in this tournament. In the first two rounds of the tournament, Geubelle shot a 13-over-par 157 and Juffer shot a 12-over-par 156. Juffer is tied for 42nd place, while Geubelle is tied for 48th place. Redshirt freshman Chase Chamberlin was also scheduled to make the trip, but did not go because of illness.

Lisle Alderton | Collegian

Joe Ida, senior, tees off during the K-State Men’s Golf Team at Colbert Hills. In an interview last week, head coach Tim Norris said he wanted to take the three players to compete as individuals in order to give them a chance to gain some expe-

rience playing in tournaments. Geubelle played consistently in both rounds Monday, shooting a 78 in the first 18 holes and a 79 in the second. Juffer was less con-

sistent, but settled into a record 2-over-par 74 in the second round after shooting a 10-over-par 82 in the first 18-holes. “Overall, I think both players played better in the afternoon than they did in the morning round,” Norris said. “Obviously, Ross’s score doesn’t reflect it as much as Ben’s, but both golfers made progress.” Today is the final round of the tournament, which begins at 8:30 a.m. Coach Norris said the difficulty of the golf course was high, with tomorrow’s round possibly being tougher. “The golf course was pretty difficult,” Norris said. “We did not play at full length today, tomorrow they are moving the tees back, so we’ll probably play another 100 yards of golf or so tomorrow.”

Briefs Oklahoma game to be aired on FOx sports network

Mastrud named to midseason award list

Banks earns another Big 12 honor for big 12 special teams

The Big 12 Conference and Fox Sports Net officials announced Monday that K-State’s Oct. 31 football matchup at No. 25 Oklahoma will be broadcast live on Fox Sports Net as part of the league’s weekly television package. Kickoff from Memorial Stadium is set for 6 p.m. The contest will mark the seventh overall appearance on television this season for the Wildcats and the third on Fox Sports Net. The network televised the Sept. 19 game at UCLA to a national audience, while the Texas Tech game on Oct. 10 was aired across the Big 12 region. K-State returns to action Saturday as the Wildcats host Colorado at 11:30 a.m. on FCS. Tickets still remain for Saturday’s game, including $20 tickets for alumni members. The most convenient way to order tickets is online at www.k-statesports. com. Tickets may also be purchased at the K-State Athletic Ticket Office in Bramlage Coliseum, or by calling 1-800-221-CATS. -K-State Sports Information

K-State senior Jeron Mastrud was one of 22 tight ends named to the 2009 John Mackey Award mid-season watch list, the Nassau County Sports Commission announced Monday. Mastrud was one of three tight ends from the Big 12 on the list, joining Colorado’s Riar Geer and Nebraska’s Mike McNeil. A team captain for the 2009 season, Mastrud has been one of the most consistent players for the Wildcats over his four-year career. The BeaverMastrud ton, Ore., native has played in all but one game since his freshman season, and he has started a team-best 21-consecutive games. This season, Mastrud has caught 16 passes for 196 yards and one touchdown, while he became the third tight end in university history to top the 1,000-yard career receiving mark. He has 101 career receptions, which ranks 10th in school history, but tops among tight ends. Also, Mastrud has caught a pass in 23-straight games, the third-best streak by a Wildcat since 1990. An announcement of the award’s semifinalists will be made Nov. 16, while the finalists for the award will be reveled Nov. 23. -K-State Sports Information

For the second time this season, K-State kick returner Brandon Banks has been named the Big 12 Conference Special Teams Player of the Week. After another record-breaking performance, the conference office has announced the award. The accolade is the third of Banks’s career, and the second this season after being honored following the Tennessee Tech game. It also Banks marked the first time since 2002 that a Wildcat earned two Big 12 special teams honors in the same season, as Terrence Newman was honored following games against Louisiana-Monroe and Missouri. With K-State leading 38-0 at halftime against Texas A&M, Banks continued the Wildcats’ scoring as he returned the secondhalf kickoff 97 yards for a touchdown. It was his third kickoff return for a touchdown this season, setting the university and Big 12 record. The return was also the fourth of his career, which tied the conference record with Oklahoma State’s Perrish Cox, who returned four from 2006 to 2008. -K-State Sports Information

For those wondering how head coach Bill Snyder and the football team would respond to one of the worst losses in recent memory, the answer was overwhelming Saturday night at Snyder Family Stadium. The 62-14 win was a combiGrant nation of bad Guggisberg plays by the Aggies and great plays by the Wildcats. While it’s hard to tell exactly what adjustments Snyder made to improve the overall play of the team last week in practice, it is easy to see that whatever he did worked wonders. Yes, the offense needs to get better. While they did a good job of putting points up against the hapless Aggie defenders, they also benefited greatly from outstanding field position. That being said, the offense stepped up and controlled the line of scrimmage the way Snyder has been calling for all season. Even better, during the first half while they were still actively trying to score points, the Wildcats settled for only one field goal. Wildcat special teams also performed well. Kickers Josh Cherry and Brandon Klimek both kicked field goals for the Wildcats, and Brandon Banks had several good kick returns on the day, including his fourth career kickoff return for a touchdown. However, the biggest factor in this huge turnaround was the play of the defense. Say what you want about Texas Tech and Texas A&M being different teams on offense, but on paper they looked extremely similar. Both were great passing teams led by quarterbacks who have performed extremely well all season. Both had solid running games that complement their respective aerial attacks. The two teams play similar styles, meaning it was the Wildcat defense that made the big adjustment. The Wildcats found a pass rush, something that has eluded them for much of the season. They came into the game with six sacks as a team but were able to match that total in one game against the Aggies. Texas A&M quarterback Jerrod Johnson never looked comfortable in the pocket, at least not until the third quarter when the second-team defense took the field. Only then was Johnson able to make plays down the field and put points on the board. The emergence of a pass rush allowed the K-State secondary to use speed and good hands to its advantage. Safety Tysyn Hartman and cornerback Josh Moore are both good at catching the ball when it’s thrown in their direction. If the quarterback is being rushed, he is more likely to make a mistake and throw a ball that can easily be intercepted. Coming into the game, Johnson had thrown a total of zero interceptions all season. He left Snyder Family Stadium with three, the culprit being a frantic line of scrimmage. If the Wildcats can continue to win games at home, they will be on track for success. The Wildcats get Colorado, Kansas and Missouri all at home, while traveling to Oklahoma on Halloween and ending the season in Lincoln, Neb., against the Cornhuskers. For those counting at home, if the team can finish 6-0 at home this season, they will be bowl eligible. With Kansas suddenly looking like a beatable team, it’s not out of the question to see the Wildcats taking care of opponents at Snyder Family Stadium and rewarding fans with a bowl game in Snyder’s first season back as coach. Time will tell if it happens, but with a solid game at home last Saturday, the Wildcats are now halfway there. Grant Guggisberg is a senior in print journalism. Send comments to sports@spub.ksu.edu.

Stiefel brings acts to Salina By Melissa Short Kansas State Collegian

The Stiefel Theatre, located in Salina, is an expansive and beautiful historic theater that draws performers from around the world. “The Stiefel Theatre has an atmosphere that is great for a multitude of different acts,” said Kyle Emme, sophomore in interior architecture and Salina native. “I saw a show there a couple of years ago, and it was really cool.” Jane Gates, director of the theater that is just an hour and 15 minutes away from Manhattan via Interstate 70, said the theater is a nonprofit organization, so tickets are priced only to pay for the acts, and some shows offer student discounts. The theater is opening its doors to an eclectic group of performers this fall that is sure to appeal to the equally eclectic style of college students.

Nov. 8 — Art Garfunkel

Art Garfunkel, best known as half of the pop group Simon and Garfunkel, will be at the Stiefel in early November. A few of his most popular songs include “Mrs. Robinson,” “Bridge Over Troubled Water” and “The Sounds of Silence.” The fact that these songs were all released in the 1960s and ‘70s but are still well known today shows that Garfunkel’s folk-rock style and catchy lyrics Garfunkel have withstood the test of time. More recently, Garfunkel was featured in an episode of “Flight of the Concords” and will make an appearance in “The Rebound,” an upcoming movie starring Catherine Zeta-Jones. Garfunkel’s work has earned him five Grammy awards and millions of fans; his show is a must-see for folk-music enthusiasts or vintage-music fans. Tickets $45, $55, $65 -ArtGarfunkel.com

Auntie Mae’s to host its third poetry night

Nov. 12 — Parsons Dance

“Parsons Dance and the East Village Opera Company is a beautiful, stunning show. They are definitely one of the most prestigious modern dance companies in the world,” Gates said. They will perform “Remember Me,” a rock opera that combines the music of The East Village Opera Company, modern dance and the story of a love triangle into one thrilling show. The show premiered in January 2009 to soldout audiences and was an instant hit. According to ParsonsDance.org, “With contemporary dance, aerial dance, live and recorded music, video projections, complex digital lighting and visual effects, ‘Remember Me’ is the most ambitious production created by Parsons Dance in its 22-year history.” Tickets $29, $38, $45 (student tickets $15) -ParsonsDance.org

On this eve in the dim dungeonlike depths of Auntie Mae’s, A plethora of poets, the third time their thoughts will they say Through metaphor and allusion, in free verse, meter and rhyme. The first poet will proceed once the clock’s turned 10 times. Festivities are free once every fortnight, but the bar does insist Those in attendance be old enough to enlist.

Dec. 3 — Darius Rucker

Darius Rucker will bring his solo country act to the Stiefel in early December. “Darius Rucker, who was Hootie of Hootie and the Blowfish, is definitely a big name we are excited about. We’ve already sold about 800 tickets for that show,” Gates said. According to the press release, Rucker was nominated for two CMA awards and his album, “Learn to Live,” debuted at No. 1 on the Billboard charts. Rucker will play his hits along with Hootie and the Blowfish favorites, and the show will open with a performance from rising country band Northcutt. Variety magazine said of Rucker, “Country music has a new major star, and the genre may never be the same.” Tickets $55, $65, $75 -DariusRucker.com

For those confused by the excessive alliteration and poorly used poetic devices in the introduction, tonight Auntie Mae’s Parlor will sponsor “Auntie Mae’s Mighty Fine Poetry Night” for the third time. The event, which takes place every other Tuesday, begins at 10 p.m. and is an open mic night. The event is for people 18 and older, and is open to K-State students and the Manhattan community. Though the event emphasizes poetry, guests are welcome to read other forms of literature including prose, monologues and short performance pieces. For some people, poetry and Aggieville might seem like a bizarre combination; an area renowned for sports bars and large crowds can appear to be an unlikely location for an event based around literature. At one point during the second poetry night, several unknowing bar-goers stumbled into Auntie Mae’s. Upon realizing they were at a poetry reading, they eyed the crowd with looks of bewilderment before quickly stumbling back out.

Dec. 6 — Jackson Browne

Jackson Browne’s Solo Acoustic tour will make a stop in Salina in early December, bringing with it the honest and politically charged music Browne is known for. Rolling Stone said “Jackson Browne’s sensibility is romantic in the best sense of the term: his songs are capable of generating a highly charged, compelling atmosphere throughout Browne and ... of sustaining that pitch in the listener’s mind long after they’ve ended.” According to the press release, Browne has two albums on the Rolling Stone’s “500 Greatest Albums of All Time,” was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, and has also been given several awards for his humanitarian efforts. Browne’s socially conscious songs range in subject from the U.S. Cuban embargo to Hurricane Katrina. Tickets $55, $65, $75 -JacksonBrowne.com

December 20 — Béla Fleck and the Flecktones

The multi-faceted Béla Fleck is renowned as one of the world’s greatest banjo players, has won nine Grammy awards, is on an international tour, and was once a guest on “Sesame Street,” according to the band’s Web site. The Flecktones, aka Victor Wooten, Futureman and Jeff Coffin, are also world-renowned musicians in their own right. Entertainment Weekly said “it’s hard to resist a band that draws on bluegrass, funk, world music, pop and jazz with such glee and blissful lack of pretension.” Béla Fleck and the Flecktones will perform music from their Grammy award-winning Christmas album, which brings a bluegrass flair to traditional Christmas songs. Tickets $28, $40, $55 -Flecktones.com For more information or to order tickets, call the Stiefel Theatre for the Performing Arts, 785-827-1998.

However, the first two poetry nights showed that the Aggieville bar scene and poetry can be combined successfully. In its first week, the event drew a crowd of nearly 60 people and performances by 17 readers. “I’m absolutely enthusiastic and overwhelmed,” said Jimbo Ivy, senior in creative writing and the event’s organizer. “I’m really happy with the turnout. I didn’t expect as much poetry would come out of the Manhattan community.” Many of those who attended felt the Auntie Mae’s location was important to the atmosphere and success of the night. Auntie Mae’s, which began as a speakeasy in the 1930s, has long drawn a slightly different crowd than most bars in Aggieville. The bar has often featured bluegrass and jazz concerts, and though Auntie Mae’s does have a TV that frequently plays ESPN, it is rare to see anyone watching it. Chad Howard, a 2007 K-State graduate in theater, read during the first night and said he thought poetry night was “a good fit for the culture Mae’s has.” Howard said Auntie Mae’s had been looking for ways to facilitate new creative outlets. Brittney Swartzentruber, sophomore in pre-medicine, said the atmosphere of the event was great and she would come back in the future. Just as Auntie Mae’s seems an appropriate location for a poetry night, much of the poetry read during the first two events seemed well suited for Aggieville. Ivy read one piece that satirically explained the best way to pick up women at the bars. Another poem he read left the crowd roaring with laughter as he explained in graphic detail an expe-

rience in which he and his girlfriend accidentally found a pornographic video of her father’s. A number of other poets read similarly lighthearted pieces that seemed at home in a bar. Many participants also read more traditional poetry, including odes to the French Resistance and reflections on the death of a close friend. Other performances included readings of poems by famous writers, short prose pieces and a brief performance by a local comedian. Ivy said he was pleased with the diversity of the readings. “It’s very nice because we’re getting a good mix of slam, prose, traditional poetry and original works that kind of blend all those together,” Ivy said. “Auntie Mae’s Mighty Fine Poetry Night” is the latest in a series of Ivy’s efforts to facilitate the literary culture of Manhattan. In 2008, Ivy founded Writer’s Circle, a campus organization designed to allow writers at K-State an opportunity to share and workshop their writing outside of class. Ivy explained he was motivated to start the poetry night because “there’s a lot of people who don’t have a chance to read, because there weren’t a lot of forums for them to before,” he said. Previously the only opportunity for poets in the Manhattan community to read their work was Poetry on Poyntz, which takes place once a semester at the Strecker-Nelson Art Gallery. Ivy said Auntie Mae’s plans to continue sponsoring the event every other Tuesday for the foreseeable future. He said he hopes attendance will continue to grow and in the future more people will bring poetry to read.

Zeeportal provides network for fashion By Reyna Lay

Kansas State Collegian

Entrepreneur Rita Kahn founded a new fashion social site called Zeeportal.com - a combination of MySpace. com, Facebook.com and Twitter.com made to help designers, buyers, models, editors and even students connect and network with people they are working with or would like to work with. Trade shows and industry events are important in a fashion career, but not everyone has the luxury of attending these events. They take money and time, and in this economic downturn, there are fewer people spending money on trips to see the latest fashions. According to Tradeshow Week’s Annual Report of Consumer Show statistics, attendance at the biggest trade shows dropped 4.5 percent. “While trade shows and industry events are important, they don’t take place every day,” Kahn said on her Web site. “And they can be very expensive for many young designers, students and startups to attend. With Zeeportal.com, fashion industry pro-

fessionals can make connections, get the latest news and conduct business 24/7 in a fun, free virtual environment that’s tailor-made for our industry.” But are students using this social network? A non-scientific poll of students on campus showed only about one in 10 fashion students had heard of the site. “It’s a great information source,” said Kellsi Bradberry, junior in apparel marketing. “We can see what other

people are doing, what is in right now, and what is not. You can also get new ideas for you to market or design.” Once the fashion students heard about the Web site, many said they thought it would be a great site to use. Zeeportal has many features including fashion news, industry events, blogs, online chats, stock quotes, classified ads and searchable member profiles. Members can choose to keep their profile private and decide who can see their profile and who cannot. “It can also help us see what people in other cities are designing, and buyers in New York can see what we are designing,” said Alarie Kennedy, junior in apparel marketing. Though K-State students have not heard much about Zeeportal, it seems they are open to the opportunity of networking with others from the convenience of their home. Some of the most popular aspects of the Web site is that Zeeportal is completely free and profiles can be searched by region, style, size, price point and even type of item they have on their profile portfolios.
