Katie Reilley junior staff writer Interlocking, enmeshment and categorization were just a few terms Maria Lugones, a feminist philoso- pher and professor at Binghamton University, shared with her audience during her talk, “Multiplicity, Inter- sectionality and Decoloniality,” in the Leadership Studies Building last night. Lugones defined these terms by tying them into the lecture’s theme of racial and cultural differences from the post-colonization communities of her native country, Argentina, as well as Latin America and the United States. Interlocking, Lugones said, is de- fined as pure and separable. Enmesh- ment, on the other hand, is insepara- ble and fused. She went on to say that one cannot categorize people, because they become broken by the categori- zation. Lugones also spoke about race in the post-colonization communities as a major status symbol. She said race has a great deal to do with how hu- manely a person is treated. Feminism was also a main topic. “Feminism is just a political word,” she said. “Women are not a political group.” Several groups worked hard to bring Lugones to speak at the uni- versity, and Lugones said it did not happen in the course of a few weeks. Groups like the Women’s Studies Program and especially Fire, a student and community feminist organiza- tion, helped bring Lugones to campus. “Several of us in Fire had read a lot of her work in different classes,” said Madeline Wetta, president of Fire and junior in women’s studies and Eng- lish. “In a meeting last spring, we were talking about what we wanted to do this fall, and we started talking about Maria Lugones.” Wetta said Fire worked with its former adviser, Shireen Roshanravan, assistant professor of women’s studies, along with several other organiza- tions, and applied for university fund- ing, and that’s how Lugones was able to speak on campus. Laura acker, senior in women’s studies and English, recognized that Lugones’ type of thinking differed greatly from opinions that most K-State students have experienced before. “e talk that she just gave isn’t really something that we’ve had at K-State before,” acker said. “Even though it was a lot in the talk, I feel like it can inspire people to go read her works and really try to wrap their brains around the concepts that we haven’t really been exposed to before.” To submit your FREE Celebration! go to: kstatecollegian.com/celebrations or call 785-532-6560 Births, engagements, weddings, anniversaries and retirements of K-State will be published in the Kansas State Collegian the 1st Monday of the month. 1st Monday of the month. www.kstatecollegian.com www.kstatecollegian.com Homecoming football K-State is to take on Oklahoma State on Saturday.

Karen Ingram opinion editor A bone marrow registry drive in the K-State engineer- ing complex gives students and faculty the opportunity to save lives today. Sujatha Prakash, interim STEM project coordinator, organized the first drive with her husband, Prakash Krish- naswami, who was a profes- sor in the mechanical and nu- clear engineering programs, aſter he was diagnosed with leukemia in 2007. Prakash said she has been a registered bone marrow donor for about 15 years, but her husband’s illness inspired a passion to do more to help. “You don’t realize the impact until it happens to you,” Prakash said. Prakash said finding com- patible bone marrow donors for non-Causasians is dif- ficult, so they turned to the K-State community for help. eir efforts paid off when two donors who were a good match were found for her husband. He received a trans- plant and was well for a while, but later had a relapse and died in 2008. “at’s the nature of the disease,” Prakash said. In spite of this personal tragedy, Prakash said her continued efforts with friends and family have helped save other lives. More than 70 people registered last year and Prakash said a friend of hers from India who fell ill has found three compatible donors. e National Bone Marrow Registry, called Be the Match, welcomes donors from around the world. To register, a prospective donor needs to sign a consent form and have a swab of their mouth taken — no needles necessary. “Do not take the decision lightly,” Prakash said. “I ask that you seriously think about it because, if you are a match, it’s a matter of life and death.” For those who cannot make it to the registry event, there are other options avail- able. Information on how to become a donor is avail- able at bethematch.org, and people can use the website to update their address and contact information, some- thing Prakash said is very im- portant in a college commu- nity like Manhattan, where moving is common. Prakash is also hosting a fundraiser for cancer research in memory of her husband on Saturday. “Shop for a Cause” will offer handmade jewelry, scarves, paintings and other products for sale from 8 to 11 a.m. at Bluestem Bistro in Aggieville. Prakash and her family and friends make many of the items. Others who wished to help the cause have also shipped their con- tributions in from across the country. All of the proceeds go to the Leukemia and Lym- phoma Society for research in finding a cure. Prakash said that, like the bone marrow registry, there has been great progress in research for can- cers like leukemia. “But there is still a lot of work to be done,” she said. ose interested in help- ing can also purchase items from Bee’s Beads and Colors, a website created by K-State alumnus Bala iagarajan in memory of the late Krishnas- wami.

Whether it be the bone marrow registry, the “Shop for a Cause” fundraiser or Bee’s Beads and Colors, Prakash said she strongly urges all K-Staters to join the fight in any way they can. “We’ve made this our ongoing cause,” she said. “Prakash Krishnaswami, or Dr. Prakash as he was known, was a very gener- ous and loving person. He wanted to make sure that we did as much as we could, and more, to help people inflicted with this terrible disease.

Campaign eff orts are coming to an end with only a few days until Tuesday’s election, and voters have much to consider before Election Day arrives.

While, according to the Kansas Offi ce of the Secretary of State, there are 1.7 million reg-istered voters, not all people on the electoral roll are registered with the two major parties: the Democrats and the Republicans. Instead, a newly dominating third party has been expanding recently. Th e party has no name, and moreover is not necessarily a party at all.

Th ey are the unaffi liated.Th e number of unaffi liated

voters continues to rise. Data from state offi ce reveals that out of the 1.7 million registered voters in Kansas, 744,975 are Republi-can and 460,318 are Democrats. With the Libertarian or Reform parties, 11,110 people are regis-tered, but that leaves a signifi cant gap of people who are not reg-istered with any party: 490,395 people. Th is, in comparison to 2008, marks an increase of inde-pendent voters by 42,000 people.

“People, especially young people, don’t want to be affi li-

ated or identifi ed as belonging to one political party or the other,” said Kelly Kultala, Democratic candidate for lieutenant gover-nor. “Th ey may not agree with all facets of a political party’s platform, and they may think of themselves as more of an inde-pendent thinker.”

Andrew Gray, Libertarian candidate for governor, had a dif-ferent opinion about the increas-ing numbers of independents. He said the reason for the increase in unaffi liated voters is because it is impossible to diff erentiate be-tween the two major parties.

“We believe the two major parties have compromised their core values, which has alienated their supporters,” Gray said. “It would appear the major par-ties have the primary concern of maintaining power and the sec-ondary concern of representing their constituents which disen-franchises many people.”

Although the number of un-affi liated voters has increased, the number of voters registered as Republicans has decreased by about 10,000 in the past two years, according to the state of-fi ce’s website.

Understanding each unaffi li-ated voter’s standpoint would be complicated, which makes it hard to target specifi c demographics of unaffi liated voters.

It is diffi cult to implement ways to attract unaffi liated voters who are students, Kultala said,

because the phone calls and lit-erature go to their permanent addresses. However, she said the Kansas Democratic Party still tried to target independent voters for phone banking, voting initia-tives and door-to-door canvass-ing, to name a few.

Th e question is, why does being affi liated to a certain party matter? Does being an offi cial member of one specifi c party truly make a diff erence in voter turnout?

Gray said he does not believe affi liation matters overall because the largest growing bloc of voters are those who are considered unaffi liated. However, he said it could be signifi cant depend-ing on how being unaffi liated is viewed by the specifi c individu-al. Th e eff ects on voter turnout could be substantial if people are only conscious of the two-party system, seeing as how there are other political parties running Tuesday as well.

Th ere is a large population registered as independents, but Libertarians are also a growing political party with a 1.76 percent increase in registered voters, ac-cording to state offi ce data.

“In the past it appears the sen-timent of voting for the lesser of two evils have become more prevalent,” Gray said. “Since the Libertarian Party of Kansas has proven to be more viable with pragmatic platforms, it has given people a sense of hope.”

More voters remain independentin Kansas for Tuesday electionsState sees 42K more people declare no party affi liation than it did in the 2008 vote

Student crew preps to collect recyclables at Saturday’s event

Calin Cooneyjunior staff writer

Th is Saturday, K-State plans to compete in the U.S. Envi-ronmental Protection Agency’s Game Day Challenge for recy-cling.

Th e event is put on by the EPA for colleges and universi-ties to promote waste reduc-tion at their home football games. K-State is one of 87 schools that have registered to compete in the challenge, and each school participates during one home game in October.

Th e challenge coincides with K-State’s All-University Homecoming game against Oklahoma State on Saturday. All students and fans are en-couraged to participate by depositing plastic bottles and aluminum cans in blue bags that will be provided and leav-ing these bags on the ground upon entering the game. Th e bags will then be collected for counting and recycling. Th e targeted areas of focus are the

parking lots and other tailgat-ing areas, as well as the sta-dium.

Th e Game Day recycling crew will lead the eff ort. Zack Pistora, president of Students for Environmental Action and senior in political science, is one of the co-founders of the program.

“Game Day Recycling started in 2008 with leadership from SEA and the student di-rector of sustainability for SGA approaching KSU Facilities and KSU Athletics about recy-cling at the tailgating areas and inside the stadium at the home football games,” Pistora said. “We distribute blue bags to tail-gaters to recycle their plastic, aluminum and glass beverage containers and then pick up the same recycling materials inside the stadium aft er the game.”

Students are also invited to volunteer by promoting recy-cling during tailgating, collect-ing stadium recyclables aft er the game and sorting them on Sunday.

“People can participate anytime at the Game Day Challenge for recycling,” Pis-tora said. “It starts by being aware, responsible and ac-tively engaged in recycling at

each person’s respective tail-gate and seating section in the game.  Th e way we look at it, each of the 50,000-plus fans that attend the home games helping recycle for themselves and their neighbors is much more eff ective than a 50 person crew picking up everyone’s left -overs.”

Pistora said fans can receive blue bags at the game and place the recycling in those or in re-cycling bins around and in the stadium. He said people can also volunteer aft er the game to help pick up the stadium re-cycling. Th is will begin at 4:30 p.m.

At the conclusion of the event challenge, a winner will be declared based upon recy-cling per capita game atten-dance. Th e school that reduces the most waste by recycling in respect to the amount of fans that showed up to the game will win the challenge.

However, the competition isn’t everything.

“Just the pride of doing good as far as the environmental and educational gains from recy-cling at the football game and bragging rights among other universities are what concerns me,” Pistora said.

When I see all the fancy arms and impressive Army airplanes, I imagine those must be very expensive, but I don’t understand why so much is spent in the De-partment of Defense when there are people who don’t go to college because they can’t afford it.

The Census Bureau’s estima-tion of educational attainment in 2009 for Americans was that less than three out of 10 persons older than 25 had a bachelor’s degree or higher. That is one concern Presi-dent Barack Obama demonstrated July 29 at the National Urban League Centennial Conference when he said, “The unemploy-ment rate for folks who’ve never gone to college is almost double what it is for those who have gone to college ... eight in 10 new jobs will require workforce training or a higher education by the end of this decade.”

This makes education a necessity, not a luxury, for every country’s economic development. According to the College Board’s Trends in College Pricing, the national average for one year of in-state tuition at a four-year col-lege was $7,020 in 2009.

I want to focus on a solution. According to the U.S. Govern-ment Printing Office’s website, the Department of Defense spent $688.04 billion of its projected expenses in 2010. I think a good way to get more people to finish their bachelor’s degrees without worrying about how they will afford the college tuition bill, is if the department spends less of those expenses. They should also give a small percentage directly to universities, so instead of raising tuition fees every year they can lower them.

I won’t go so far and make

people angry by suggesting America will lose its sovereignty. People might ask, “Why would we want education without a nation?” I would argue that reducing 25 percent of the total expenses for 2010 would provide one year of free education to more than 24.5 million students. This would more than double the U.S. De-partment of Education’s projected enrollment in college for fall 2010, which is currently 19.1 million students, according to the National Center for Education Statistics. But maybe we don’t want so many educated people.

It’s true that financial aid exists for students, but is it enough? Do you know anyone who would like to go to college but can’t afford it?

I want to be more real-istic, because I know the government will never do that to the Depart-ment of Defense. Here’s another possibility: According to the of-fice’s website, the de-partment’s expenses are projected to go up by $30.75 billion in 2011. I propose the government takes half of that amount, $15.38 billion, and gives it to the uni-versities. Taking into account the national av-erage tuition of $7,020, this money would help about 2.2 million students go to college for free.

Or you can make everyone pay less. If the $15.38 billion was divided among the 19.1 mil-lion currently enrolled students in the U.S., tuition would de-crease by $805 per student, bring-

ing the national average down to $6,215 per student. I don’t think college should be totally free be-cause people don’t appreciate the things that are given to them for free, but I really think we should

make college affordable to everyone who wants to study.

The current policy put the military first, then education. I think both are impor-tant, which is why they should be

balanced. Why should a poorer family send its only child to the Army so he or she can get the tuition assistance needed to go to college?

Also at the centennial confer-ence, Obama said, “America went from No. 1 to 12th in col-lege completion rates for young adults. Used to be No. 1, now we’re No. 12 ... I want us to be back at No. 1 instead of No. 12.”

This is my opinion of what he can start doing to achieve this goal.

My most sincere respect and admiration go to all the soldiers who work every day to pro-tect the U.S., which the world admires. Education should be in-expensive and within the means of everyone. The government should be there for every citizen who wants the opportunity. Even Franklin D. Roosevelt once said, “The school is the last expendi-ture upon which America should be willing to economize.”

Austin Ennssenior staff writer

Ken Cannon, the Reform Party’s gubernatorial candidate, said he decided to run for gov-ernor aft er a friend in the legis-lature told him this year would be good for a candidate not in the two major political parties. Cannon said he thinks he is the best candidate for the job be-cause of his hard work.

“Frankly, I would have been satisfi ed running for whatever party; I want to be sitting in that governor’s seat,” Cannon said.

Cannon’s Reform Party plat-form consists of three diff er-ent issues: recruiting the right people, rethinking government and making sure government is the right size.

Recruiting the right people means that Cannon is willing to cross party lines to build the right leadership team for the state. When asked about the people he wants in his leader-ship team, he said he would focus on that later.

“Th at is something my team

will sit down and study so we can bring in the right people,” Cannon said. “I’m not going to recruit just from the Democratic or Republican pool. I am going to recruit from all parties and get the best people.”

Rethinking government poli-cies is Cannon’s next platform, and he has multiple suggestions on the issue.

Whether it is teaching edu-cators how to write grants, re-tooling the airplane industry to build wind generators or using Kansas farm products in school lunches, Cannon has many dif-ferent ideas to improve the state.

Changing the state’s tax code to the Fair Tax system is also on Cannon’s agenda, and he said Kansas should lead the way. Th e Fair Tax is a consumption tax that taxes purchases instead of income.

“If my wife and I buy a rec-reational vehicle, I should be paying taxes on the vehicle,” Cannon said. “Th e Fair Tax shuts down all loopholes. Kansas should blaze a trail so all other states can follow and the federal government can follow.”

Another major issue for Cannon is making sure govern-ment is the right size. One of his ideas to reduce the govern-ment’s size is to get rid of some

townships in various counties. Cannon also said he wants gov-ernment to place less restric-tions on businesses.

“I just think small businesses have too many regulations and it becomes too much red tape people have to jump through,” Cannon said. “Most people in the U.S. don’t want to be dictated to, I would put together a team of mayors who could tell us what could be cut.”

Even though Cannon favors smaller size in government, he is opposed to Sam Brownback’s plan to freeze state spending as a way to decrease the defi cit.

“You’ll be in world of hurt if you’re standing still and ev-erybody is moving ahead; you might as well be moving back-wards,” he said.

Cannon is originally from Goff , Kan., and said he has spent 36 years in education working as a school administrator, college professor, teacher and basketball coach.

He said in this campaign, he has been struggling to get more chances to appear with the other candidates.

“I believe Kansas voters de-serve to have more debates so Kansans can know more about their candidates. Th ere has been one debate with all four

candidates, which is not nearly enough and an insult to voters and the state of Kansas,” Cannon said.

Th e candidate said he thought the media was trying to narrow the coverage of the gubernato-rial candidates down to the two main ones.

“I did not know this ‘til I ran for governor, but the media controls too much,” Cannon said. “We struggle to get our name out in Kansas City. For the Hutch debates, we weren’t even invited.”

Th e candidate has made the news recently in connection to an incident where he allegedly made threatening comments to a man who mentioned his son’s suicide. Cannon said the reports were completely false.

“I’ve been in education 36 years with no issues, several things have popped up and one already went away,” he said. “I’ve never had legal issues with anyone, and I make a run for governor and these things start popping up. How dirty can poli-tics get? It really aggravates me that somebody decided to tar-nish my reputation.”

Cannon declined to make specifi c comments about the incident because of advice from his lawyer.

Manhattan citizens and students will have an opportu-nity to experience the element of fi re before trick-or-treating this Sunday. Th e Society for the Appreciation of Bharatiya Heritage and Arts is hosting “Natya: Dance of the Divine,” a performance to showcase one of the major styles of classical Indian dance.

Anand Ramani, president of the society and graduate student in industrial engineer-ing, said there are fi ve major forms of classical Indian dance. Each represent an element, like water, air and earth. Th is performance will showcase Bharatanatyam, which repre-sents the element of fi re.

Ramani said Bharatanatyam is a sort of acronym taken from the words Bhava, Raga and Tala, which mean expression,

music and dance, respectively. Th is style of dance originated in the southern Indian state of Tamil Nadu.

Jhinook Mukherjee Sinha is scheduled to fl y in from India to demonstrate this dance for K-Staters. Sinha has studied and performed Bharatanatyam for years in India. Th is will be her second time performing in America, Ramani said.

“It’s a good intro to Indian dance,” he said.

Th e performance, which is free and open to the public, will be in Forum Hall in the K-State Student Union on Sunday. Hal-loween treats will be provided by the group. Th e time is set from 1:30 to 3 p.m. so as not to interfere with anyone’s evening plans for Halloween. Ramani said anyone interested in at-tending should not worry if they must come in their Hal-loween costumes because “the dancer will be in costume, too.”

More information is avail-able on the group’s website at k-state.edu/sabha or by e-mailing [email protected].

Collegian fi le story

“I always wondered why they were called roofi es, cause you’re more likely to end up on the fl oor than the roof. Th ey should call ‘em fl oories,” Doug said.

“Or rapies,” Alan, another character from the movie “Th e Hangover,” added.

However, roofi es are, in real-ity, anything but funny.

RohypnolRoofi es are derived from the

drug rohypnol. According to Th e Partnership at drugfree.org, a nonprofi t organization that helps parents prevent and treat their children’s drug use, rohypnol is not legally available for prescrip-tion in the U. S. It is used to treat severe sleeping disorders in Latin America and Europe but is oft en smuggled into the U.S., according to the Drug Enforce-

ment Administration’s website. Some rapists and sexual assault-ers put rohypnol into drinks to hinder victims from fi ghting back. When the drug is used in a rape, it is called a “roofi e.”

Bill Arck, director of K-State’s alcohol and other drug education service, said drug manufacturers are trying to make it more diffi -cult to use the drug improperly.

“Makers of rohypnol changed the formula so when mixed with CMS depressants, alcohol and clear drinks turn blue, beer turns green and dark drinks turn murky,” he said. “Th ey also have the tablet dissolving slowly.”

Now possible victims may be more apt to notice the diff erence before they take a drink. If they do take a drink, though, they could know immediately some-thing is wrong.

Arck said the eff ects of roofi es are generally signifi cant enough that a person would know they were not alcohol-related, espe-cially if the person is sober and not on any other prescription or recreational drugs at the time.

Th e drug can sedate a person in 20 minutes, and the eff ects usually last eight to 12 hours, but depending on the food, alcohol, or other substances in a person’s system, it could last longer.

GHBGHB, gamma hydroxybutyric

acid, is a clear liquid that can easily be confused with water at fi rst glance. It also comes in a white powder material, accord-ing to the DEA’s website. Th e body naturally produces small amounts of the chemical to help metabolism, but ingesting any more than that leads to eff ects similar to being high on ecstasy, hence its nickname “Liquid E.”

A Sept. 18, 2005, Kansas City Star article about GHB reported that the drug is utilized more and more frequently in bars.

“It’s still a big issue, and law enforcement and hospitals are way behind,” said Trinka Por-rata, a retired Los Angeles police offi cer who is a head of Project GHB, a group that tries to raise

awareness about drugs.

KetamineKetamine, ketamine hydro-

chloride, has similar eff ects on the body to Rohypnol. Ketamine is approved for commercial use, like as a veterinary product in cats and monkeys for short-duration surgery or immobiliza-tion. It is also used as an anes-thetic for children. Ketamine was used for battlefi eld injuries in the Vietnam War and other wars. It has been used for re-peated procedures like radiation therapy and changing of burn dressings in which analgesia, pain reduction, is desired but deep anesthesia is not required. Th is drug lasts 30 to 60 minutes.

BenadrylBenadryl, dipenhydramine,

is a less obvious drug that is playing a role in rapes and sexual assaults.

“It is not easily detected,” said Tammy Herrera, registered

nurse and sexual assault nurse examiner at Mercy Regional Health Center. “Th ey just overdose their victims on that instead of roofi es.”

Benadryl, an antihistamine with drying and sedative eff ects, is used to help with allergy symptoms. It is also used to treat allergic reactions to blood transfusions, to prevent and treat motion sickness and, with other drugs, to treat Parkinson’s disease and to treat anaphylac-tic shock from severe allergic reactions. Since the side eff ects ultimately result in a lifeless body, some rapists and sexual as-saulters could prefer the drug to eliminate victims’ resistance.

Signs of ingestionTh e physical eff ects of

rohypnol can be similar to being highly intoxicated, according to the K-State Women’s Center. For example, the victim could have nausea, vision problems, slurred speech, dizziness and, if taken under the right conditions,

convulsions or blackouts. Th e eff ects of ketamine and

GHB are similar and can also include aggressive behavior or breathing problems. In extreme cases, a person can go into a coma or die. Mental side eff ects include dreamlike feelings, confusion, hallucinations, losing a sense of time and identity, distorted perception of sight and sound, feeling out of control, out-of-body experiences, coma, numbness and partial or com-plete amnesia.

Since most victims do not know the symptoms of being drugged, it might be hard to rec-ognize. Th erefore, the instances oft en go unnoticed.

“It is hard to say the diff er-ence between being drugged and being drunk,” Herrera said. “We do not test for drugs because usually they are out of the system too fast. We take a blood sample from the victim and send it to KBA (Kansas Bioscience Authority) with the sexual as-sault kit. Sometimes they come back positive.”

REGROUPINGAshley Dunkaksports editor

Ashley Dunkak attended the Big 12 Conference bas-ketball media days at the Sprint Center in Kansas City, Mo., on Oct. 20 and Oct. 21. Aft er three hours of listening to the men’s coaches analyze their teams, Dunkak has put together a Big 12 Conference preview, giving insight into each of K-State’s conference opponents. Today’s segment features Iowa State, Okla-homa and Oklahoma State. Th is is Part Five of a fi ve-part series.

Iowa StateTh e Cyclones fi nished

last season 15-17 overall and 4-12 in the conference. Big 12 coaches picked Iowa State to fi nish last in the league, and that poll is going up on the board where players can see it and play with a chip on their collective shoulder. Th is season, the Cyclones will be led by fi rst-year head coach Fred Hoiberg.

Hoiberg is an iconic fi gure in Iowa State basketball histo-ry, and aft er a 10-year career in the NBA, he was working as an executive with the Min-nesota Timberwolves when he accepted this position. On the Cyclones’ website, there are a slew of complimentary quotes about Hoiberg from all kinds of big names — col-lege basketball analyst Jay Bilas, NBA Hall of Fame resi-dent Larry Bird and others.

As far as Hoiberg’s coach-ing staff , he followed the advice of Tim Floyd, who coached him his senior year in high school and for two years when Hoiberg played for the Chicago Bulls. Th at advice was 1. Assemble a staff that has great chemistry and 2. Hire people smarter than you.

Hoiberg said his fi rst few weeks on the job were “in-

teresting.” Certainly, talks of conference realignment in addition to fl ooding that damaged the team’s arena qualifi es as such.

Th e new coach said the players came in with the right mentality, which meant a lot to him and has him excited about what he has seen.

Hoiberg anticipates a breakout year for senior guard Diante Garrett and said the players will set screens for him and get the ball in his hands oft en. He said redshirt senior Jamie Vanderbeken is

“shooting the heck out of the ball right now” and opens up the fl oor because of his height — listed as 6-feet-11-inches on the team website.

All in all, the rookie coach said he is excited about the future of Iowa State.

OklahomaIn 2009-10, the Sooners

went 13-18 overall and 4-12 in the Big 12. On the cusp of his fi ft h season as head coach, Jeff Capel said he has been very impressed with the play-

ers so far.Capel said he thinks the

team’s chemistry is really good. He said the process of building that camaraderie begins in the summer and builds as everyone gets to campus. Practice brings the staff and players even closer as the athletes try to pay at-tention to detail while physi-cally battling on the court.

“Chemistry’s huge,” Capel said. “Guys have to under-stand how much they need each other.”

Capel, who was chosen by

coaches to represent the U. S. as the coach of the country’s under-18 team, said he was honored by the selection and that he will always cherish the experience.

While the coach was optimistic about his team, the Sooners do have gaps to fi ll aft er the departures of Tiny Gallon, Tommy Mason-Griffi n and Willie Warren. Th e fi rst two were taken in the second round of

OU, OSU, Iowa State looking to fi ll holes, rebuildOn Monday, an article ran

calling the play of our football team “unacceptable.” Inter-esting, considering we were coming off a heartbreaking loss in a shootout, when we gained 407 yards, and senior quarter-back Carson Coff man showed growth and maturation for a second straight week.

And while a win is a win and a loss is a loss, losing is a part of the game, and by no means were we expected to roll into Waco, Texas, and simply domi-nate the Baylor Bears.

It was only the second loss of the season in a year in which the Big 12 North is wide open. We are trailing the Missouri Tigers by two games and the Nebraska Cornhuskers by one game. Due to a loss to the Huskers, however, we will have to beat them in the standings to win the North. So for all intents and purposes, we trail both teams by two games, with fi ve left on the Wildcats’ schedule.

Nebraska and Missouri play each other this week, so a win over the Oklahoma State Cowboys for K-State this weekend — granted, a tall order — guarantees the Wild-cats will make up one of the games. Th ree games from now, K-State will play the Tigers, so an upset win would then make up for a game. Th e Tigers also have games at Iowa State, who defeated Texas at Austin, at Texas Tech, and Kansas, who can’t be discounted aft er defeating Georgia Tech in the second week. As for the Husk-ers, their remaining schedule consists of games at Iowa State, then Kansas in Lincoln, then at Texas A&M — which is a daunting trip for any team simply because of the environ-ment — then Colorado to end the season.

Th e Wildcats are by no means in the driver’s seat for the Big 12 North title, but the article Monday jumped the gun. Coff man has thrown 415 yards and two touchdowns in the past two games, and has added fi ve touchdowns on the ground in those two weeks. Senior running back Daniel Th omas has also returned to his early season form, putting up 204 yards and three touch-downs in the past two games. Th e Cowboys are ranked 89 in the NCAA in points against, so the Wildcats are poised to rebound from their loss with potentially a shake-up win to celebrate All-University Home-coming.

We are more than halfway into the season, and two losses is not unacceptable. An off ense that puts up 33.9 points per game and a defense that only allows 25.9 is not unacceptable. Gut-wrenching, hard-fought victories against the likes of UCLA, Iowa State and Central Florida are not unacceptable. Five wins, one away from bowl eligibility, with fi ve games to go, are not unacceptable.

Head coach Bill Snyder was brought back to rebuild the program to where it was in the late 1990s and early 2000s. He is certainly on his way with a promising, youthful team that still has a shot to win the Big 12 North title. Th is football team this year has been anything but unacceptable.

Despite losses, Wildcats improving

Sam Nearhoodsenior staff writer

Apparently, the athletics de-partment did not receive the memo, as this weekend marks the conclusion of All-Univer-sity Homecoming for K-State, but the volleyball team is going away.

Th e University of Missouri (14-8, 6-6 Big 12 Conference) plays host to the Wildcats (9-14, 3-9) Saturday in Colum-bia, Mo., to conclude its week of home matches against Kansas teams.

Just last Wednesday, the Tigers swept the Jayhawks by small margins. Th is season has been peppered with equal amounts of wins and losses for Missouri, but only once — against Texas A&M two weeks ago — has a match progressed to all fi ve games.

K-State is still sitting on a streak of losses, which stretched to seven sweeps Wednesday with the contest against Iowa State. Head coach Suzie Fritz said her team’s record is not as

important to her as becoming better overall.

“I really want to not be caught up in the result and more concerned about the pro-cess of improvement,” she said. “We want to be improvement-

oriented; we want to be pro-cess-oriented, not result-ori-ented. We would have certainly liked to have had more success; there’s no question about it.”

In Big 12 statistics, Missouri is spread sporadically through-

out the rankings. For instance, the team is near the top for average kills per game, but its front seems less able to block than it can hit, as the Tigers drop to nearly last in average blocks per game.

A large portion of the off en-sive attack comes from senior outside hitter Paola Ampudia. Regularly recording more than four kills per game, Ampudia is second in the league, right behind a Cyclone player K-State saw last Wednesday.

Ampudia’s top play stops right about there, however, as her numbers in blocking and digging are nothing excep-tional.

Missouri’s primary passer, senior libero Caitlyn Vann, recently earned the Big 12 Defensive Player of the Week award for the fourth time in her career. In the standings, Vann is also second in the league, dig-ging just shy of fi ve balls per game.

Fritz lauded the Tigers, but said her focus was on her own side of the net fi rst.

“Missouri’s really good, just like the rest of them,” she said. “But our primary challenge is within ourselves. Can we be resilient enough to stay in it, or are we going to check out be-cause we’ve had a very diffi cult few weeks here?”

Fritz added that, despite the recent tough schedule, she re-mains optimistic.

About sophomore setter Caitlyn Donahue’s knee injury Wednesday, Fritz said she knows the injury isn’t signifi -cant, but at this point, they don’t know what the recovery time is.

However, Fritz said, “It’s not a career-ending or season-end-ing deal.”

Sophomore setter Ashley Kelican is expected to take over in the meantime, but Fritz would not confi rm or deny that.

First serve is set for 6:30 p.m. in Missouri’s Hearnes Center. Fans not able to attend the match can follow on the radio through KMAN-AM 1350 or stream the video through mu-tigers.com, if they are a sub-scriber to CBS Sports.

Th e owners of a winning record thanks to a close home win over Baylor last week, K-State (3-2) will host South Car-olina (2-2) today.

Head coach Casie Lisabeth stated in a press release that she is anticipating another good event at Timber Creek Stables.

“We are looking forward to another great home competi-tion and building even more on the great momentum that this team has established this season,” Lisabeth said. “Th ey have been working really hard in practice to address the weaknesses we had in the last competition, and we expect they will settle in the more and more they enter the arena this season.”

Like K-State, South Caroli-na defeated South Dakota State and Southern Methodist Uni-versity but lost to Auburn and Georgia earlier this season.

A team with many members, the Wildcats will enter riders

in the following categories: eq-uitation over fences, equitation on the fl at and horsemanship, as well as the exhibition coun-terparts to those divisions. In

the fi rst three categories listed, K-State plans to have fi ve riders each, and in the exhibi-tion categories, there will be two Wildcats each. K-State will

also compete in reining, which will feature fi ve women from the team.

Th e event begins at 10 a.m. and is free to the public.

On Saturday, the K-State cross country team is scheduled to compete in the Big 12 Championship. Th e event is located in Stillwater, Okla., site of the Cowboy Jamboree that the Wildcats ran earlier this season.

In that Sept. 25 event, K-State had success from both the men’s and wom-en’s teams, placing fi ft h and second, respectively.

Head coach Michael Smith said the team has the members to do well, but po-tential is not enough.

“We are trying to a take a step forward and are knock-ing on the door,” he stated in a press release. “We have the

personnel to do it but they have to go and do it.”

In the team’s last compe-tition, the Pre-Nationals In-vitational, the women took 10th, and the men came in 33rd.

K-State will take nine runners from the men’s team and nine from the women’s team to compete at the Big 12 Championships. Th e women are led by senior Sydney Messick, who fi n-ished 18th in the last com-petition. Th e best runner for the men is junior Armando Del Valle, who came in fi rst for the K-State team in the past two races.

Th e women’s race is scheduled for 10 a.m., and the men’s will begin at 11 a.m.

Th ough Halloween is this weekend, it’s not the fi rst gala this spooky season has brought thus far. By now, Manhattan restaurants, stores and houses have been decorated with a cluster of cobwebs, gob-lins and ghosts.

Th e beginning of October marks the time to bring out the old slasher movies and begin planning those haunted house trips. Such events are typically described as chilling and bloodcurdling — which makes all the more reason for doing them. Why, you ask? Well, because the thrill of Halloween is terrifying, haunting and downright addicting.

Fear is universally understood this month; in fact, it’s oft en expected of a community to immerse itself in the cus-tomary scary tactics.

Th e consumer spending total for the 2010 Halloween season is expected to reach $5.8 billion, according to the Na-tional Retail Federation. Uniformly, the average consumer will spend $18.66 on spooky decorations this year. Spending money on things that would normally bring chills down the spine; now, that’s a scary thought.

“When it’s dark, I can’t walk out to my car alone because it’s too scary at night,” said Kelly Burkhart, junior in family stud-ies and human services. “But I would go inside of a pitch-black haunted house with friends or go trick-or-treating at night because it’s supposed to be scary. Th at’s the whole point.”

In a word, Halloween is the exception; it is the one time of year when people can put aside their fears and, in turn, embrace all things unnerving.

“Halloween’s all about make-believe,” said Dr. David Pincus, licensed clini-cal psychologist from Orange, Calif. “It allows an outlet for the shadow side of your personality.”

No matter if a person gets spooked by creepy crawlers, people in masks or the mere thought of death, Halloween down-plays the severity of each fear, making it less scary.

“We consciously know that these

things are not real. We don’t actually want to be chased by an axe murderer,” said Gary Brase, associate professor of psychology. “We get auditory and visual stimulation (through movies) without vi-cariously being a part of them.”

Fear works like this: You see some-thing scary, like a clown coming toward you, and your brain judges it as unsafe. Th en, your adrenaline kicks in and jolts your sympathetic nervous system, thus causing you to react; whether it be to run or attack. (See, paying attention to lessons in psychology class can be benefi cial.)

In the spirit of All Hallows’ Eve, letting yourself experience fear is all part of the excitement. Scary situations trigger the neurotransmitter dopamine, which ex-cites pleasure points in the brain, accord-ing to mentalhelp.net. Aft er something frightful, dopamine is the chemical that makes such an experience worthwhile.

“Part of our brain is designed to like certain things,” Brase said. “Scary movies, and so on, are ways neurotransmitters get the ‘rush’ of being scared without actually endangering our lives.”

Indeed. Pincus said many individuals are motivated to seek that dopamine rush by stimulation of brain pleasure systems in the hypothalamus.

“Th ere is a biological ground of per-sonality,” Pincus said. “Some people are born with a lower basal arousal level, and those folks tend to be sensation seekers and enjoy the scary things about Hallow-een.”

More than anything, however, a bit of creativity is all it takes to get the mind ex-cited about all things spooky. Imagination is the mediator and inventor between the brain and the scary situation that is pre-senting itself, Pincus said.

“Imagination is the room where all these things happen. It is the reason arousal and stimulation occurs,” Pincus said.

So this weekend, when the costumed demons and witches are out at night, try to have fun with your fears. If you are one to seek sensation and love all things Hal-loween, embrace that shadow part of your personality. Aft er all, being a chicken has never been allowed on Halloween.

For many high school seniors, college visits include a day off school, a drive or a mid-length fl ight and the chance to see somewhere that has the potential to be more exciting than home sweet home.

For Winston McBride, junior in park management and conser-vation, his visit to K-State includ-ed a trans-Atlantic fl ight during spring break 2008 and a taste of the many diff erences between life at K-State and life at the Ameri-can International School of Rot-terdam.

Beginning in 2004, McBride lived in Rotterdam, the Nether-lands — located about one hour south of Amsterdam — when his family moved there because of his father’s job working for the Department of Homeland Security. By the time he moved back to the U.S. in 2008, he had experienced a variety of cultures, yet was still in some ways unpre-pared for life at K-State.

Th e school boasted a total pre-K-12 enrollment of 300 stu-dents, 40 of whom attended the high school with McBride, he said. Th e school operated on a block system, much like many high schools throughout Kansas and the U.S.: each student had eight classes and attended four

80-minute blocks each day, al-ternating classes from day to day. Friday schedules alternated between Monday and Tuesday classes, school started at 8:15 a.m. and ended at 3 p.m., and sports practices oft en followed the end of a regular school day.

Although the school oper-

ated on what McBride called an “American curriculum” and all classes were taught in English, all students took a required Dutch class, which McBride said was focused on helping them learn to have everyday interactions with the Dutch. He said the move to Holland was less surprising than

some people might expect.“My mom is Polish,” he said.

“So we’d been to Europe several times to visit my grandparents and stuff . So when it was time to move to Holland, I just fi gured that it would be like every other time I’d been to Europe and that it wouldn’t be hard.”

Nevertheless, the switch ended up being a bit more chal-lenging than McBride expected.

“I realized it’s a lot diff erent to actually live somewhere than to just visit. Not knowing the language was really intimidating and the lifestyle is much more fast-paced,” he said.

Even simple legislative diff er-ences between the Netherlands and the U.S., like marijuana being legal there and the drink-ing age being 16, contribute to the diff erence between life in Rotterdam and life in Manhattan for McBride.

“It seems like people didn’t get as wasted there as they do here,” McBride said. “Maybe it’s be-cause their drinking age is lower so they start drinking earlier and have a higher tolerance, but there’s defi nitely a diff erence.”

He described his move from Rotterdam to K-State as “exactly the opposite” of when he fi rst moved out of the country.

“Kansas is really relaxed, and in Holland, maybe just because it was such a bigger city, the life-style is much more fast-paced,” he said. “When I got here, I had to sort of learn to calm down.”

McBride said while he enjoyed all the diff erent nationalities he could experience while at an in-ternational school, when he got to K-State, he realized his high school “wasn’t actually that great

of a school,” and he didn’t feel prepared for K-State’s homework load. Nevertheless, McBride said he is glad he did not attend high school in the U.S.

“I wasn’t that great of a student in middle school, so I probably wouldn’t have done well in a tra-ditional high school,” he said. “At the International School, because it was so small, there was a lot of individualized instruction and it was kind of like a new start for me.”

Like at many high schools, the school off ered several extra-curricular activities, including soccer and basketball. McBride said all the sports were popular, but, because of the small student population, it was sometimes hard to fi nd enough skilled play-ers for a team, which made most of the teams more fun-oriented than anything else. He said the team played against other inter-national school teams and oft en traveled to Dutch cities or even to cities in neighboring coun-tries, like Germany. McBride also played for a local Dutch baseball team and made friends outside school.

Although he never considered attending a European university, he said the diff erences between Rotterdam and Manhattan are unmistakable. But then, that seems about right for cities half a world apart.

If Kansas is to grow and prosper in the 21st century, it will require bright,

well-educated young men and women who have graduated from our institutions

of higher learning-both four year colleges as well as our two-year

community and technical schools.

Both Have stood up for the jobs and economic prosperity that comes with a well-educated

workforce. Both have scored an “A” on the bi-annual Higher Education Report Card.

And, both have been strong and loyal members of the bi-partisan

Higher Education Caucus.

Dear Editor:

Voters in Manhattan, KS are fortunate to have two staunch supporters of public higher

education running for reelection to the Kansas State Legislature. That’s why Kansas

Citizens for Higher Education strongly endorse Tom Hawk and Sydney Carlin.

Votes on November 2nd for Tom Hawk and Sydney Carlin will be votes for

quality higher education, well-paid jobs and economic vitality for Kansas.

the NBA draft .

Oklahoma StateTh e Cowboys ended up

22-11 overall and 9-7 in conference play last season. In his third year as head coach, Travis Ford said while his team is not necessarily young — though 65 percent of the play-ers are sophomores or younger — it is very inexperienced.

Ford said his team needs to earn its stripes very quickly

and is sure the schedule will force it to do that. Th e win-loss record might not be great, Ford said, but the team needs those early tough games.

Because the Cowboys lost one of the best players in college basketball in James Anderson, they don’t have that X-factor who can just create his own shot, Ford said.

He believes the scoring can be replaced by everyone working together but said the mental part of the game, which comes from experience, will be an issue.

“James camoufl aged a lot of

our weaknesses as a basketball team because he could create his own shot,” Ford said.

Ford said this team will rely heavily on inexperienced se-niors, but he likes the makeup of the team: young kids who will rely on athleticism and who have been very impres-sive so far. He said one of the strengths of the team will be its defense.

Senior forward Marshall Moses, junior guard Keiton Page and sophomore guard Fred Gulley are among those who will be expected to pro-vide leadership this season.

Establishing good credit, in-cluding a good credit score, is important for college-age stu-dents, according to a K-State fi nancial counseling expert.

A credit score measures an individual’s credit worthiness as assessed by moneylenders, said Jodi Kaus, program man-ager for K-State Powercat Fi-nancial Counseling.

Without good credit, in-dividuals could fi nd it hard to meet certain needs that go beyond credit cards. Individu-als with low credit scores might be denied loans and receive harsh premiums on insurance rates. Credit scores could also aff ect employment, since po-tential employers can check them to assess the responsibil-ity of an individual, Kaus said.

“A FICO, or Fair Isaac Cor-poration, credit score ranges from 300 to 850, with a number in the mid-600s and above con-sidered good,” Kaus said. “Th e score is based on your pay-ment track record, the amount of debt you owe, the length of time you’ve used credit, how oft en you’ve applied for new credit and the types of credit you currently use.”

Establishing a credit score in today’s economy goes a long way, Kaus said. It has been re-ported that more than 43 mil-lion people now have credit scores below 599 because of the slow economy. Th is means fewer people are considered credit worthy.

“Young people need to re-member that the actions they take today will aff ect them for some time down the road,” Kaus said. “Paying bills late, maxing out credit cards or opening multiple credit ac-counts will all impact your ability to get favorable loans in the future.”

Young adults can be fi nan-cially successful if they can establish a respectable credit score, Kaus said.

“In your last years of college, it may be benefi cial to begin es-tablishing a credit history. Th is shows you have the discipline to make timely payments over a period of time in anticipa-tion of when you do need a loan,” she said. “Since how long you’ve used credit is a factor in your credit score, some length of credit history needs to be es-tablished.”

Kaus said she recommends these tips for young adults who are ready to establish credit re-sponsibly:

— Pay all bills on time, in-cluding utilities, cell phone and credit accounts.

— Limit the number of credit cards you have.

— Use your credit sparingly by staying under 30 percent of your credit limit.

— Check your credit report regularly at annualcreditreport.com, which is available for free once a year from each of the three credit reporting agencies. However, the report does not include one’s credit score.

K-State students seeking help with credit issues can use Powercat Financial Counsel-ing, a free service for students to obtain confi dential fi nan-cial counseling on any money questions they have. Appoint-ments can be made by going to the service’s website at k-state.edu/pfc.

“We are helping many stu-dents stay on track fi nancially by creating a spending plan,” Kaus said.

She said the service answers questions about proper use of credit, planning out student loan accumulation and repay-ment of loans. Th ey also coun-sel students about making the transition, fi nancially, from college to work, Kaus said.

“We also can help a student get their credit report and understand the information shown on the report,” she said. “We then counsel the student on ways to improve their credit worthiness and to stay on track with their credit use.”

Establishing good credit score requires building history early

BIG 12 | OSU team lacks experienceContinued from Page 6

In its fi nal fall competition, the women’s golf team looks to have one of its toughest tests yet. In the Alamo Invitational in San Antonio, Texas, K-State will be in a fi eld of 14 teams, the majority of which are ranked in the top 70 in the country.

Four other Big 12 teams will accompany the Wildcats: Baylor, Colorado, Nebraska and Texas A&M. Colorado, Notre Dame and Tulane could be considered favorites, as they are ranked in the top 20

in the nation.Th e tournament takes

place at the Briggs Ranch Golf Course, and there the women will play in their second three-day tournament of the season.

Competing for K-State will be freshman Gianna Misen-helter, juniors Paige Osterloo and Ami Storey, sophomore Whitney Pyle and senior Elise Houtz.

Misenhelter has the lowest stroke average on the team, 75.45 through 11 rounds of competition. She has placed in the top 20 in each of her fi rst four collegiate events. Pyle has

the second lowest stroke aver-age on the team and brought home the highest fi nish on the team this season: second place at the Chip-N-Club Invita-tional.

Storey and Osterloo have combined for eight top-20 fi n-ishes throughout the season. Houtz will be playing in her fi rst event this fall, though she has played in 27 others during her career at K-State.

Th e team begins play on Sunday and continues on Monday and Tuesday. Live scoring can be found at golfstat.com.

Commissioner,” Sexton said. “I’m really looking forward to another year and another smooth elections process.”

As commissioner, Sexton will oversee the Student Gov-erning Association’s elections process and enforce the Elec-tions Regulations Code.

Occasionally, there are hu-morous moments during Stu-dent Senate, as evidenced this week.

During the second open period, Griffi n Page, senator, announced that he was trying to set up a blind date for a friend. He asked for single ladies of the Senate, including interns, he said, who expressed interest in going on a date with his friend to get in touch with him.

Page declined to answer questions regarding the ap-pearance of his friend, only confi rming that his friend is 21. He restated that this date would be a blind date, thus minimal details could be of-fered.
