For the second time in three years, Gaelic Storm visited K-State and gave a rousing performance to an enthusi-astic audience. Gaelic Storm plays Celtic and Scottish style music as well as some songs of their own composition. Th e band has received recognition for being the steerage band in the movie “Titanic.”

Todd Holmberg, director of McCain Auditorium, said the band is a good choice to play at K-State because they have previously had success in the area.

“Th at’s easy, they were wildly successful here a couple years ago, and they are kind of developing a follow-ing in this part of the coun-try,” Holmberg said. “We will have people driving in from all over, they are favorites of

people who aren’t just in Man-hattan. We had people drive in from Oklahoma last time.”

McCain was mostly fi lled with a community audience, and the band made an eff ort to interact with the audience. Th e attendees were encour-aged to sing along, and to get up and spin around during one particularly interactive song.

Even though the band only had fi ve members, they played a multitude of instruments in-cluding bagpipes, a harmoni-ca and a fl ute in addition to a guitar, drums and violin.

Jim Hardy and his wife ex-hibited unusual devotion and drove fi ve hours from Leoti, Kan. to see the band play.

“Well, we saw them on A&E, and I thought ‘that would be fun,’ we went on the Internet and saw they were only on the east coast, then we saw something from McCain and we bought our tickets a long time ago,” Hardy said.

Gaelic Storm also made jokes during the breaks be-

tween songs, the lead singer pointed out that the band’s last album debuted on the iTunes music charts fi ve spots ahead of Justin Bieber’s album.

“Damn your eyes Bieber,”

the lead singer Patrick Murphy said. “It’s an Irish blessing.”

In addition to the violin solos, Gaelic Storm also had harmonica and bagpipe solos.

Every year, thousands of K-State students, Manhattan residents and out-of-towners fl ock to Aggieville streets for Fake Patty’s Day. For this year’s event, bars and liquor stores stocked up for the crowd just a few days before.

“We did the same thing we’ve done the last four years it’s hap-pened,” said Keith Eyestone, owner of the Purple Pig, a bar in Aggieville. “Extra door men all day long for the 9 a.m. to 2 a.m. shift s, printed more green Purple Pig shirts to give away and sell, more kegs and more bottles of vodka.”

Th e bars were packed with people from the time they opened on Saturday morning to the time they closed early Sunday morning.

“Our capacity is 116 and we met that at probably 9:45 in the morning and kept it right around that until we closed,” Eyestone said.

House parties were also a big part of the day, and local liquor stores knew they had to be ready for in-creased customer demand.

“We order extra kegs just to sell for house parties,” said Mike Towne, owner of Th e Library, a liquor store. “We get about 80 kegs of green beer.

We are one of the biggest buyers of the green kegs in Manhattan along with Th e Fridge.”

City offi cials were concerned about safety for this year’s event and several meetings were held to make sure enough precautions were taken to keep all participants safe.

“Th ere had been meetings in the community for two to three months in advance for all the departments that were working that day for ca-pacity and over serving and other

things they were looking for,” said Jolene Adams, director of opera-tions at Kite’s Grille and Bar. “We did what we needed to make sure we didn’t have those problems.”

Fake Patty’s Day seemed to be a hit not only with businesses, but also people who came to Manhattan from out of town.

“I came because this is cool,” said Ashley Miller, a University of Kansas student. “Lawrence doesn’t have anything close to this and this

is an awesome event.”According to a Riley County

Police Department press release, 151 reports were fi led. By comparison, there were 134 reports fi led last year.

“We had all our offi cers on hand for both shift s this year,” said Lt. Richard Fink.

Th e RCPD press release also stated there were more noise com-plaints, fi ghts in progress and more victims of battery this year. In all, 766 calls for service were made

from 7 a.m. on Saturday to 7 a.m. on Sunday, a 65 percent increase from last year’s Fake Patty’s Day.

Even so, Aggieville business owners are unlikely to complain.

“I think it’s a good thing for the Aggieville bar and restaurant dis-trict,” Eyestone said. “And also, I do believe some of the hotels see many a bump on this weekend and any other type of peripheral business benefi ts by it and could tell a diff er-ence.”

K-State Residence Halls are making another splash, although this one is a lot more positive and playful than the last.

DormSplash.com, a website that allows students to rate dorms in categories including room size, cleanliness and location, awarded the K-State residence halls with a “Dormy Award” for ranking among the highest rated collegiate residence halls. K-State is one of 14 schools to receive a Dormy.

“It sends a positive message and confi rms a lot of what our staff and students have been able to do over the years,” said Derek Jackson, associate director of administrative services and resi-dence life. “I am proud of it.”

K-State’s highest-rated dorm was Putnam Hall, which received an average score of 4.5 out of 5. Th e lowest rated dorm, Boyd Hall, received a score of 3.5.

Nick Lander, assistant director for residence life, said the award is a direct result of the people in-volved with K-State Housing and Dining Services, including stu-dent residents.

“We also have tremendous students in each of our facilities who contribute in a positive way,” Lander said. “Our student lead-ers in Hall Governing Boards, Association of Residence Halls, National Residence Hall Honor-ary and other leadership groups all do a fantastic job in providing excellent programs and services

to our residents.”Reviews on DormSplash.com

echo Lander’s sentiment that en-joyable student residents are one reason K-State’s residence halls are highly rated. Some of the highest ratings for the residence halls are high marks for “House Staff ” and “Parties or Social Scene.”

K-State also received recogni-tion for hiring quality resident as-sistants, a point that has received some scrutiny in recent weeks due to a police investigation that ended with several arrests, in-cluding that of a now-dismissed resident assistant.

DormSplash.com rated the universities with the best resident assistants based on student re-views, and K-State ranked fourth among the 14 schools listed.

“It defi nitely affi rms the qual-ity of the K-State students that we are able to pick from,” Jack-son said. “It’s a testament of time; this is not a one-year endeavor. Our staff are committed to their jobs and committed to being on campus.”

DormSplash.com used more than 7,100 student reviews to rank the 10 best and worst resi-dence halls in the country. St. Basil Court, a residence hall at La Salle University, sits atop this year’s ranking with a rating of 4.5. Garner Hall at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign received a rating of 2.2, the lowest in the country.

K-State’s residence halls re-ceived an average rating of 4.0.

“I think there’s just an energy about the experience of living in the halls,” Jackson said. “You feel it when you walk through the halls and talk with students. I just love the energy and vibrance.”

Th e Wildcat equestrian team concluded their regular season on Saturday at Timber Creek Stables with a win against No. 10 New Mexico State. Th e 10-5 win came on the Wildcats’ senior day and will propel them into the Big 12 Championships on April 1.

It was the third time this season that K-State defeated a ranked Varsity Equestrian Na-tional Championships (VENC) top-10 opponent. Coach Casie Lisabeth said it was a big win and was a great opportunity for seniors to ride out their last season as Wildcats.

Th e Wildcats excelled in the Western division, securing a 6-1 victory. Th e team swept the Horsemanship category with three underclassmen competi-tors.

Freshman Chayna DeNicolo received the match MVP award aft er her defeat of Pamela Evans, 72-70.5. Th e award was a career fi rst for DeNicolo. Freshman Kelly Bovaird and sophomore Hannah Ribera joined DeNicolo in winning the Horsemanship competition

for K-State with a team total of 278 points.

Another freshman rider also received a match Most

Valuable Player award on Sat-urday. Sarah Mershon won for her performance in Equitation Over Fences where she de-

feated Emily McConnell 83-80, marking her second award of the year.

In reining, freshman Jordan

Cox rode a close match against Tara Wilson 69.5-67.5 to win her second match MVP award for the weekend.

Th e win on Saturday helped K-State rebound from a close loss to No. 3 Auburn on Friday. Th e 7-6 match gave K-State its eighth loss of the season and was the sixth loss in row for the Wildcats. However, the Wild-cats have faced ranked oppo-nents in each spring match this season.

Two freshmen received match MVP awards against Auburn. Rachel Webster won 75-72 against Quincy Hayes in Equitation on the Flat, and in reining, Cox secured her match MVP award by defeating Indy Roper, 72-67.

Th e Wildcats have a few weekends free of competition in preparation for the confer-ence championships. Last year, the Wildcats nearly won the na-tional championship, but were defeated by Texas A&M 6-2 in the title match.

Th e Big 12 Championships this year are located in College Station, Texas. Following the conference competition, the VENC will be held on April 14 in Waco, Texas.

Equestrian team fi nishes regular season with win

In my high school days back in northern Virginia, soccer was a big part of my school’s athletic department. Both of our men and women’s teams were ranked in the top 10 na-tionally according to the ESPN Rise polls, which rank the top 50 high school teams.

A lot of the radio work I did then involved soccer. Th e last game I did play-by-play for as a high school student was a soccer game featuring my school, the Stone Bridge Bulldogs. Th ey beat the McLean Highlanders, who were also nationally ranked, aft er falling behind by two goals.

It was one of the most excit-ing moments when the fi nal goal was scored. It seemed to carry a special meaning that the sport of soccer, a sport of worldwide popularity, cement-ed my media history there for the time being.

I arrived here at K-State in late August, anxious to start my college career and pursue a degree in journalism. I discov-ered that even though K-State is one of the Big 12 Conference’s best schools all around for ath-letics, it fails to hold an offi cial soccer program.

Th e club team here is one of the best in the Kansas-Missouri area and by no means is this meant to knock the eff orts of what they provide to the university. But in all honesty, for a school that wants to build its brand nationally in terms of athletics, a soccer program is necessary.

Go an hour and a half east of Manhattan down I-70, and you’ll notice that our rivals, the Kansas Jayhawks, hold an offi cial women’s team. In fact, of the current members of the Big 12, K-State is the only school not to have soccer listed as an offi cial sport.

Soccer is arguably the world’s most popular sport outside of the United States, which is demonstrated by the worldwide interest in last summer’s World Cup in South Africa. K-State has to fi nd a way to make room for a program if it wants to fully establish a national brand.

Early last fall, my fi rst ever story for the K-State Collegian was a feature on the soccer club and how their fall season went. When I asked club president Alex Bartelsmeyer about the prospect of the sport becoming an offi cial part of the univer-sity’s athletic department, his head simply shook in frustra-tion.

“It probably won’t happen for a while,” Bartelsmeyer said.

Th ere are politics, poli-cies and procedures that are required to get a sport onto a university and there is no doubt that those steps are long and strenuous for both parties. I understand that. Looking at the worldwide interest generated by the World Cup this past summer though, personally, I believe it would help boost the national and international brand of K-State by adding a soccer team.

Just one year ago, K-State’s women’s basketball team watched the NCAA tournament from their living rooms. Th is year, the Wildcats will participate in the festivities.

K-State was knocked out in the semifi nals of the Big tournament, but their fi nish in the Big 12 regular season was enough to earn the Wildcats an invite.

K-State was seeded 8th and will take on the 9th-seeded Boilermakers of Purdue out of West Lafay-ette, Ind. Women’s Basket-ball head coach Deb Pat-terson, who was awarded a commemorative basketball for recording her 300th win, compared the Boilermakers to Texas because they are big inside with a solid mix of athleticism on the perimeter.

Patterson seemed to be the only one who was famil-iar with the Big 10 confer-ence opponent.

“I know nothing about Purdue,” said sophomore guard Taelor Karr. Karr added that the coaching staff will have the Wildcats ready come Sunday.

Junior forward Jalana Childs said she will be ready to play. Childs tweaked her hip fl exor against Iowa State and was forced to sit against Baylor. While Childs was optimistic, Patterson was a bit more cautious. She said Childs is still day-to-day.

Th ere is hope though. K-State did beat the fi ft h-ranked Texas A&M Aggies without Childs’ services.

Th e trip to Storrs, Conn. will be the fi rst for many on this young Wildcats roster. Only fi ve players on the Wildcats roster have been to a NCAA tournament before.

For Childs, it will be her second trip. She went as a freshman and played spar-ingly. She said she will not be preoccupied with just making the tournament and how cool the whole experi-ence is.

Childs added that sopho-more guard Brittany Cham-bers and Karr will not be fazed by the spotlight. In-stead, Chambers seems especially comfortable under the bright lights, as evidenced by her 35-point performance against Texas A&M.

For Chambers, the trip makes a childhood fantasy a reality.

“Th is is something I have dreamed of since I was a little girl,” said Chambers. “I didn’t realize how tough it was to get in to the NCAA until I got to college.”

Although the Wildcats are young and inexperi-enced, this team will be focused and ready for their game against Purdue. Many of the Wildcats credit their improvement to being men-tally tough.

Th is Wildcat team is also battle-tested. Includ-ing K-State, there are seven Big 12 conference teams in the dance, highlighted the number one seed Baylor Bears.

K-State’s defense will be its calling card and is the reason K-State could move

on to the next round.“Our defense is funky,”

summarized Childs. “A lot of teams come in to our gym and look at us and think oh

we can beat them. Th en they can’t even get a shot up.”

Purdue and K-State will tip-off on Sunday at 1:35 on ESPN2.

K-State is just one of three Big 12 schools with both men’s and women’s teams participating in the NCAA tournament.

opinionkansas state collegian tuesday, march 15, 2011page 6

I love working for the Collegian, but the single complaint that I have about working for a newspaper is that it forces me to follow the news. Before I started working here, I never watched the news because it’s depressing. Now, I watch tensely as protesters take to the streets in Egypt, I grimly read reports about the cleanup of the fl oods in Austra-lia and dozens of other goings-on around the world.

I have met people from Egypt and Australia, and it makes my

heart feel heavy when I hear of di-sasters in far away places like that, but it’s diff erent when you know somebody from there, I mean really know them. It’s diff erent, for example, when I read about the casualties of American soldiers in the Middle East because I have friends who are soldiers. It’s diff er-ent whenever something happens in Germany because I have family there.

For this reason, when I heard about the earthquake and tsunami in Japan, my heart stopped and I immediately sent a text message to Yosuke Michishita, one of my line artists, hoping his family was OK. Fortunately, they are, but the question on my mind at the time still haunts me: If they’re not, what do I say to him?

I can’t fathom what an earth-quake or a tsunami must be like.

Th e videos on the news and online don’t do them any justice. I have seen tornadoes here in Kansas. I was living in Ft. Stewart, Georgia, when hurricane Hugo crept up to the East Coast in 1989 and nobody was sure if it would hit us or swing northward and hit the Carolinas, instead. I remember taping up the windows and wondering if the roof would blow away, but not really feeling it because I was too young to grasp the enormity of the situation.

Storms, however, give people time to prepare while earthquakes come without warning. Th e June 2008 tornado that ripped through our community left no one dead, but I’m sure it scared more than just the people around here. Th ere were probably people on the other side of the world worrying about someone they cared about here,

powerless to do anything about it but wait for contact. And we have a little baby fault line of our own that caused a 5.1-magnitude trembler right here in Manhattan in 1867. It could happen again. Worst case scenario, the dam could rupture and fl ood our town. Th e chances are slim, but it could happen to us.

Empathy hurts, but it’s neces-sary. If we can recognize our own fears and remember our own painful experiences, then we can identify with those who are experiencing their own fear or pain, regardless of whether we know them or not, or think we don’t have anything in common with them. I encourage everyone to look within themselves and remember a time they experienced something bad or scary or tragic and were helped by somebody

else. It’s your time to help now. Whether you know anyone from Japan or not, you can help. You can give water, food, blankets or money, even if it’s just $1. You can donate through organizations like the American Red Cross, GlobalGiving or the Salvation Army. Or you can donate through the Japanese Student Association here at K-State by contacting JSA president Shohei Sato at [email protected]

Helping somebody you don’t know in a country on the other side of the world is diffi cult, be-cause it feels impersonal. You will never see the face of the person you help, but they will remember it forever.

Libyan rebel leader

Illustration by Yosuke michishita

Illustration by Andrey Ukrazhenko

The Earth may have entered the Twilight Zone on Saturday. For once, the people of a nation and nearly all of its neighbors openly asked for the United States to intervene militarily, and the president carefully weighed his options and has yet to make a decision on deploying armed forces.

I’m talking, of course, about Libya and its ongo-ing civil war. The New York Times reported on Saturday that the Arab League, a group of 22 Middle Eastern and North African nations including Libya’s neighbors Egypt, Tunisia, Algeria and Sudan, asked the UN for a no-fly zone over Libya. The article went on to say even the rebel groups fighting the Libyan government sup-ported a no-fly zone, claim-ing that it would help them minimize losses.

In essence, a no-fly zone would mean using air power from Western countries to limit the ability of Libya’s leader, Muammar Gaddafi, to bomb his own people. In practice, many of those aircraft would come from the United States and would require much logistical support from neighboring countries.

Thus, President Barack

Obama’s decision regarding the situation is a tough one. On one hand, the United States simply cannot stand by as a dictator kills his own people because they seek democ-racy; on the other hand, we don’t want to involve our-

selves in yet another Middle Eastern conflict, spending time and money on a nation whose strategic importance seemingly revolves around its oil. Furthermore, any no-fly zone would likely meet resistance from Libya’s military.

Short of a full out no-fly zone, Adam Clark Estes described a few other pos-sibilities in his March 10 salon.com blog. One option

would be to limit the extent of the no-fly zone to certain crucial areas, such as where Gaddafi is using his air power the most. The West could also try to limit Libya’s military by targeting ground forces, taking out larger equip-ment, tanks and personnel carriers. And, if all else fails, we could support the rebel groups with supplies and training, hoping they alone can overcome Gaddafi’s military regime.

Taking a more pragmatic approach than his predeces-sor might have done, Obama is carefully moving forward, awaiting a decision from the UN Security Council on any such no-fly zone. Of the permanent members of the Security Council, France and the UK support a no-fly zone, Russia and China do

not, and the US is uncertain. Any final decision would require the ap-proval of all five.

Obama’s sensible ap-proach to the possibility of military intervention in Libya represents a welcome change in US foreign policy. Instead of jumping head-first into a war without end, the president is watch-ing the situation carefully and awaiting the support of allies. The problem for Obama, and even more so for the Libyans, is that we can’t wait forever to make a decision.

Time magazine described the deteriorating situa-

tion in Libya on March 10, saying “Gaddafi’s forces are continuing a brutal siege of the pro-revolution city of Zawiyah, west of Tripoli, using heavy weapons on an apparently lightly-armed civilian population.” The article also cited a rebel leader who said that without a no-fly zone from Western countries, “they’re just going to keep killing us.”

While I am usually one to oppose military operations of any kind, the decision to implement a no-fl y zone over Libya is an obvious one. Th e events unraveling in that

country are unlike

what we’ve seen recently in other Middle Eastern na-tions, where public protests have been mostly non-violent. Gaddafi has proven himself to be a ruthless dic-tator, willing to kill his own people to maintain power.

I can only hope that the sun sets on this strange Twilight Zone and the West, including the US, decides to take a stand against this brutal tyrant.

Th e American Red Cross is in town for the week to collect donations as part of the K-State Blood Drive.

Volunteer stations are set up on the second fl oor of the K-State Student Union and Putnam Hall in an eff ort to at-tract a variety of people.

Kristi Ingalls, senior donor recruitment representative, said planning has to start far in ad-vance in order to be ready for all the volunteers.

“Months and months, and months,” Ingalls said. “We schedule the blood drive a year in advance and we start prepar-ing about four months in ad-vance.”

Ingalls said the Red Cross set a goal of servicing 800 people for the week. In the Ballroom, about 13 machines were set up to receive blood, and people

giving blood were told to expect to be at the site for about 90 minutes.

Th e actual donation of blood takes about 45 minutes to an hour, but participants have to fi ll out a 49-question health form. Walk-in donors increase the expected wait time.

About 160 people will vol-unteer throughout the week to manage the drive, and several groups volunteered their mem-bers for some of the days.

Cassie Bumsted, senior in dietetics and president of Fruit of the Fight, said the group promotes nutrition and well-

ness. Bumsted said about eight people from her club signed up for the blood drive.

“I think it’s because it’s on campus it just depends on the organization,” Busted said. “We did it last year, it was fun, and they’re a good group to work for. Plus, they need help.”

Greeks and resident halls also had a competition to see who could get the most mem-bers to sign up for the drive.

Even though many people came in to give blood, several normally get turned away be-cause they have another com-mitment and need to resched-ule to later in the week, or they turn out to have the fl u, or traveled outside the country recently.

Jeff Hubka, senior in pre-physical therapy, said he do-nated blood partially because he thinks it is for a great cause.

“I don’t know, it doesn’t bother me,” Hubka said. “It in-terests me, the processes, (be)cause I’m a health major, a lot of people need blood, and you get free food and a free T-shirt.”

American Red Cross sets goal of 800 donations throughout week Blood drive volunteer stations in two locations

Connor Staats, freshman in social work, texts while she gives blood in the K-State Student Union on Monday. The blood drive is being held in the second fl oor of the Union and Putnam Hall through March 18.
