The Student Government Association

held the annual End of the Year Bash on May 9. Students were served hamburgers and hot dogs while the band Deep Structure performed. Deep Structure was a fi nalist in the recent Battle of the Bands competition.

Later, the men from Storbeck Dorm put on a fashion show as a ben-efi t. They were trying to raise money for an update to the Storbeck lobby. After the show, some of the men were auctioned off to the high-est bidders. The highest price paid was $26 for sophomore Kyle Cham-berland. They raised a total of $109.

A dance was held to conclude the evening and the year.

Cowley College’s largest graduating class participat-ed in the 83rd commencement exercises May 6 in the W.S. Scott Auditorium. More than 700 students were eligible for graduation last Saturday with more than 300 students participating in the ceremony.

The sophomores were eligible for the associate of arts, the associate of applied science, the associate degree of general studies, the associate degree of science or the college certificate.

“It was an in-depth ceremony honoring all the hard work that the students have put forth,” said pre-engineer-ing major Shaun Killman. “I’m happy to leave and contin-ue on with a higher education at Kansas State University.”

Outgoing Student Government Association Presi-dent Ashley Bland and SGA Vice-President Sarah Coury addressed the class. Bland spoke about college life such as classes, school events and the dorms. Coury’s speech touched on her instructors and the little things they say or do that she will never forget.

Other speakers were Dr. James Sherbon, who received this year’s Outstanding Tiger Alumni Award, and Natural Science Department instructor Pam Smith, Cowley’s 2004 recipient of the Endowed Chair for Teaching Excellence

and Student Learning. Cowley faculty members were also recognized for

their achievements. Michelle Schoon has received the Paul Stirnaman Award and Marlys Cervantes was named the 2006 Endowed Chair for Teaching Excellence and Student Learning.

Brett Butler and Cindy Branscum, who will be hon-ored later this month as Excellence Award recipients at the National Institute for Staff and Organizational Develop-ment in Austin, Texas, were also recognized.

A reception for the graduates was held in the Wright Room inside the Brown Center following the ceremony.

“I’m glad that I went to Cowley,” said Bland. “It was a stepping stone to achieve my future goals and dreams.”

OUTBREAKBY DANA DINKELStaff Writer

The Kansas Department of Health and Environment (KDHE) has released an update concerning the rising

number of mumps cases in Kansas. As of May 2, there have been 382 cases confirmed in 40 counties. In addition, local health departments are investigating 57 patients with potential mumps symptoms.

Three hundred and eighty-two may not seem like a large figure, but it’s shock-ing considering there have only been 17 confirmed cases in the last 10 years. Before the mumps vaccine was licensed in 1967, the United States had more than 200,000 cases in one year. Since then there have been fewer than 1,000 per year, making epidemics rare.

According to a report on the Kid’s Health website, medical historians think the origin of the name mumps either comes from an old word for “lump” or an old word for “mumble.”

The beginning stages of mumps can be identified by fever and not feeling well. The next notable symptom is the swelling of the parotid glands. These glands are on both sides of the jaw, just below the ears. When swelling occurs, generally the area is very tender.

A person with the above symptoms should consult a doctor immediately. Upon diagnosis, infected persons should not leave home for nine days.

After a person becomes infected with mumps, obvious symptoms are not notice-able until 14 to 18 days. The virus is most

commonly found among children and adolescents, and the current outbreak is most prevalent in those between the ages of 18 to 24.

The state with the most mumps infec-tions is Iowa, whose total is now over 1,500. In Kansas, the number of cases is increasing and an up-to-date figure can be found at www.kdheks.gov. The Kansas county with the highest number of mumps-stricken pa-tients is Douglas County with over 160 cases confirmed.

Cowley County currently has only two cases confirmed and one probable (uncon-firmed) case, according to county Health Department Administrator Janice McCoy. McCoy said that it’s important for Cowley students to be immunized.

“I would encourage the students to have a second MMR. We’re administering them at the health department for $14.75,” she said.

The University of Kansas was hit hard as 121 students had already contracted mumps by May 2. One cause of on-cam-pus infection is interaction between dorm

residents. The disease can spread quickly among people who share clothes or drinking glasses.

Cowley College’s Director of Health Services, Tracy Bergagnini, noted that being within three feet of an infected person for just one hour can cause the virus to spread. The virus is most frequently spread through coughing and sneezing since it’s contagious through tiny drops of fluid from the mouth and nose.

If a dorm resident were diagnosed with mumps, the virus could spread quickly. For those students who do not live near home, a separate room would have to be made avail-able in order to quarantine the infected per-son. If there were a large number of cases on campus, there could eventually be nowhere to place mumps infected people.

Bergagnini said that since mumps is a viral disease, there isn’t anything more to do besides wait.

Similar to chickenpox, mumps normally only strike a person once. One bout almost always gives lifelong protection against another.

Avoiding mumps completely is nearly impossible, since even a person who has two immunizations after the age of 1 is still only 95 percent protected. If a person has one immunization after the age of 1, that person is approximately 80 percent protected from mumps.

Vaccines have been made available in Kansas, as the state government is providing free MMR vaccines to all counties. Individu-als wishing to receive an immunization should contact their county health depart-ment for more information.

While it will be sad to see this year’s sophomores graduate, next year will fea-ture many new students, a few new staff members, and new Student Ambassadors. Next year’s Student Ambassador team will consist of:

Brett Albright Kim Bascastow Heather BailesJessica BallAndy BohnAndy EbertAlex GottlobAshleigh HurtAlexis JohnsonKacie LahaTamara McMillanElizabeth MuntzJayme ShriverValerie StricklandBrylee SturdKristine ThompsonJessica TibbottVictoria Ukaoma

“These kids are really a wonderful group of students and we are really excited to have them on board. If you see any of these kids, please congratulate them,” said Admissions Coordinator Ben Schears.

TMU repents

The Temporal Mechanics Union percus-sion ensemble performed an original rendition of Harlan Ellison’s classic

novel Repent, Harlequin said the Ticktock Man on May 4 in the Brown Center Theatre. The performance included a large screen where graphics, created by Cowley students, were projected to provide visual interest. At one point jellybeans were tossed at the audi-ence when the story’s hero climbed aboard a ship and spilled millions of the candies onto passers-by below. The Temporal Mechanics Union is cur-rently looking for a couple of extra mechan-ics to travel to Minnesota in July to perform “Migrations,” which was premiered on the Cowley campus during their December concert.

Secure in their manhoodBY RHONDA ROSSStaff Writer

He was scheduled last in order of appearance, but

sophomore James Franklin finished first in the Mr. Cinderfella pageant, sponsored by Cowley College and Act I, held Thursday, April 27, in the Robert Brown Theatre. Franklin beat out 14 other contestants to claim the title and a photo-op with the emcee and current Miss Kansas, Adrienne Rosel.

Franklin showed he was secure in his manhood by donning a platinum-blond wig, a floral-patterned bikini top and a green wrap-around skirt for the beach/leisure-wear portion of the program.

That brave display, along with his “sharp dressed man” formal attire and his talent presentation, was enough to earn the overall votes of the three judges: Amy McWhirt, Melissa Hollister, and Kim Ebert.

For his talent, Franklin imitated pop singer Prince in a rendition of the theme from the 1970’s sitcom “The Brady Bunch.” He said his choice of talent was in keeping with his style, which is “soul-ful R&B.”

“It opened up an aspect of my personality that I didn’t know I had,” Franklin said.

Sophomore Cameron Traxson was voted first runner-up. To display his talent, he arrived on stage in a giant box decorated like a birthday cake.

Wearing a Lady Godiva-style wig and a long, slinky dress with a thigh-showing slit up the side, Traxson invited Athletic Director Tom Saia to take a seat on stage. He proceeded to serenade Saia in a parody of 1960’s sex symbol Marilyn

Monroe’s birthday tribute to President John F. Kennedy.

Third runner-up Julio Anthony’s Napoleon Dynamite impersonation, Cole Mills’ comedy monologue, and second runner-up Andy Bonczyk’s imitation of various Cowley instructors elicited laughter from the audience, as did Rusty Wallace’s grocery cart ballet, and Alex Derby and fourth runner-up Joey Glenn’s combined portrayal of chess team cheerleaders.

Humanities chair and Mr. Cin-derfella director Dejon Ewing said the pageant’s “popularity and name recognition” continues to grow since its inception in 1989. The 1988 Miss Kansas, Candice Pyle, was the first emcee, Ewing said.

“I used to have to really do a ‘sales job’ on the guys,” she said. “Now I am approached as early as when school begins in August with ‘I really want to do Cinderfella, Mrs. E!’”

Franklin made the most of his sec-ond try at the title, but he was concerned that, in the excitement of winning, he may have forgotten something.

“I just want to thank (Act I director) Scott MacLaughlin and Dejon Ewing for everything they’ve done,” he said.

Ewing said Mr. Cinderfella has become popular with the Miss Kansas Pageant officials as well as the Miss Kansas winners. She attributes this to the program’s promise of a “family-friendly evening.”
