Th e last time the Wildcats played a game that went to overtime, K-State was ranked No. 1 and was playing Texas A&M in the 1998 Big 12 title game. Th e Aggies upset the Wildcats in overtime and ended K-State’s dreams of a national title.

Th irteen years later, the Wildcats got their revenge, beating Texas A&M on Satur-day 53-50 in four overtime pe-riods to earn their eighth win of the season in what was the most exciting game of the year so far for the team.

“We have been through some big ups and downs,” K-State starting quarterback Collin Klein said. “Th at has given us some good experi-ence this year. We are able to get back up and start execut-ing again when something bad happens. I am so proud of everyone for hanging to-gether and playing tough. Coach Snyder instilled in us from day one that we have to do that. We really carried that out today.”

Klein had another gutsy, outstanding performance. He rushed for 134 yards and fi ve touchdowns, and passed for a season-high 281 yards and one touchdown. It was his one-yard touchdown run in the fourth overtime that sealed the game for the Wildcats.

“(Collin’s performance) would certainly be up there,” K-State head coach Bill Snyder said.

“Th ere are no words to ex-plain Collin,” wide receiver Tramaine Th ompson added. “He is our team leader and is very tough. He had some pain, as did the rest of us, but he made sure he did a lot of treat-ment so that he would be well for the game. He was able to be a leader the whole game.”

Wide receiver Chris Harper

also had a good day for the Wildcats, hauling in four catches for 134 yards and a touchdown, with the touch-down coming off of a 53-yard strike from Klein late in the fourth quarter, the longest pass play of the year.

While statistics say one thing, the things that go unseen on a stat sheet, such as K-State’s resolve and will to win speak even louder. K-State trailed 31-21 with just 6:38 left in the game. K-State respond-ed with the touchdown pass from Klein to Harper, a defen-sive stop, and a 44-yard fi eld goal from Anthony Cantele to send the game to overtime.

Th en in the third over-time, the Wildcats scored a touchdown off of a 25-yard run from Klein but failed to convert on the 2-point conver-sion. Th e Aggies then scored a touchdown on their pos-session off of an eight-yard pass from Ryan Tannehill to Uzoma Nwachukwu, but then the Wildcats’ defense held on the two-point conversion at-tempt to keep the game alive. Th ey then held the Aggies to a fi eld goal in the fourth over-time, allowing Klein’s touch-down to seal the game.

“It is about resiliency,” Klein said. “We have been fi nding more and more depth lately. We are still growing as a team. We can play the whole game together even with so many mistakes across the board. We are able to bounce back each time. It is the same message aft er this game as is any other game – it is about getting better and not getting too high or too low.”

Th is game also marked the third week in a row that the Wildcats fell behind 14-0 to their opponent, as Oklahoma and Oklahoma State also scored the fi rst two touch-downs in their respective Logan M. Jones | Collegian

Cats defeat Aggies in instant classic with a 4-overtime winRECORD TIME

Karen Ingramnews editor

A joint team of investigators from the Bureau of Alcohol, To-bacco, Firearms and Explosives, the Manhattan Fire Depart-ment, Riley County Police De-partment and the Kansas State Fire Marshal’s Offi ce have ruled the Strasser Village Apartments fi re that occurred on Nov. 6 to be arson.

Th e fi re was started in the early morning hours in the northern section of the apart-ment complex, located at 300 N. Fourth Street, causing an estimated $2.7 million dollars in damage to the unfi nished building. Additional damages to nearby businesses by fi re, smoke and water are still being assessed, but could amount to another $2 million.

“Th is fi re resulted in the largest dollar loss in Manhat-tan history,” said Jerry Snyder, Manhattan Fire Chief, in a Nov. 12 press release. “I’m grateful for the support from ATF, the Riley County Police Department and the Kansas State Fire Marshal’s Offi ce. Without the resources and assistance by these federal and state specialists, we would not have been able to conduct this comprehensive investiga-tion in such a swift manner.”

More than 90 interviews have been conducted so far, but no suspects have been named.

Incessant laughter and funny nar-ration was commonplace at the Coff ee Hour presentation on Taiwan on Friday. Th e presenter was Yung-Chwn Lin, senior in interior architecture.

Th e presentation was kicked off by Sarinya Sungkatavat, graduate assis-tant for the International Students and Scholars Services, by introducing the speaker and also giving a brief introduc-tion about the Coff ee Hour Series.

“You get to know more people. Th at is one of our main purposes,” Sungkata-vat said.

Lin’s presentation on Taiwan was in four parts dividing the country into the north, east, west and south regions. Th e mountains in Taiwan created by the intersection of two crust plates run through the middle of the country, hence giving this natural segmentation to the nation according to Lin.

Taiwan was also called Formosa which is Dutch for “beautiful place” ac-cording to Lin.

Lin said the Taiwanese fl ag has white representing the sun, blue for the sky and red representing the Taiwanese hos-pitality. Taiwanese people are very ami-able and friendly according to Lin and red is a popular color.

“During our wedding time we wear a lot of red,” Lin said.

Lin related the facts to the audience by comparing them with Kansas for better understanding and humor. Geo-graphically Taiwan is one sixth the size of the state of Kansas whereas popula-tion wise it has eight times more people than Kansas. Lin also had pictures com-paring the heights of the highest points in Kansas and Taiwan and also the tall-est building in Manhattan and Taiwan.

In the west, one would fi nd sandy beaches and plenty of sunshine and this is also a region of agriculture accord-ing to Lin. Th is region houses the Sun Moon Lake and also forests and unique wildlife native to Taiwan.

To the south there are more beach-es, salt mountains and Kaohsiung, the second largest city in Taiwan, which is also called “Love River” as it is a hotspot for lovers according to Lin.

“If you are planning to go to this city, fi nd a girlfriend before you do,” Lin said.

Th e main industries of the eastern region are tourism and fi shing. It is also home for salt hot springs and the Gushan Island, which is also called Turtle Island, owing to its form that re-sembles a turtle.

Th e northern coast is completely dif-ferent from the other three according to Lin owing to the rocky terrain. Th is region has ports and some more hot springs Lin said.

Members of the audience enjoyed the presentation.

“It was very good,” said Sogand Sa-bahfar, who is originally from Iran.

Obair Siddiqui, graduate student in industrial engineering and a regular at the Coff ee Hour Series, said it was a very good experience.

“I think this is the fi rst time we are having Taiwan and it is very unique,” Siddiqui said.

Siddiqui, who is also the president of the International Coordinating Coun-cil, said the presentations are a way to reach out to the people.

“It is a good way to promote our events,” Siddiqui said.

“She was great and just so funny,” said Kylie Sutherland, freshman in political science and exchange student from Aus-tralia.

Sutherland thought the presentation was well rounded.

“It was super informative. I liked the

Powerpoint presentation. It covered a lot of diff erent things,” Sutherland said.

Th e audience was given a chance to taste food native to Taiwan. Lin had bubble tea and green onion cake for the audience to try.

“Th e food is great but it needs salt,”

Sabahfar said.Lin concluded her presentation with

a word of advice to those that might be planning a trip to Taiwan.

“Open your mind, open your eyes, bring your medicines and take care of your stomach,” Lin said.

With a winning score of 54-18, K-State Women’s Basket-ball opened their season with bang Saturday night against the Dartmouth Big Green. Di-rectly following the football team’s victory over Texas A&M the Wildcats took the court to fi nish the excitement of a sports-packed weekend.

During the fi rst fi ve min-utes of play, the starters for the Wildcats were able to build an early lead, as they jumped out and scored the fi rst 12 points of the game. Th ey held a 10-point lead well into the fi rst half, and coach Patterson was able to put in her second string. Unlike their exhibition game against Washburn, the second stringers held a good lead against the Big Green.

A transfer from Arizona, Tasha Dickey, had a strong fi rst half as she led the team with 13 points. K-State played very well as a team in the fi rst half as evidenced by their 41 per-cent shooting percentage. Th e Wildcats led the game 33-10 at the half.

As the band played “Wildcat Victory” and the teams ran out of their locker rooms, K-State came back on to the court with a new confi dence. Dickey upped her scoring as she opened the half with a break-away layup, and the Wildcat’s lead over the Big Green continued to grow.

Despite winning by 36 points, the Wildcats ended with a scoring percentage of only 33 percent and 28 turn-overs. However, even with the negatives, coach Patterson was pleased with the quality of play shown by her bench.

“Th is was a night in which I think there was a lot of op-portunity for our bench to get quality play and minutes that I’m hoping down the road will help them with their develop-ment,” said Patterson. “As we compete 40 minutes, we obvi-ously have a long, long way to go on the off ensive end of the

fl oor. We did get a good jump start, and I thought our bench did a nice job on building on that, quite frankly, more so than our starters the second half.”

K-State’s next game is against Brigham Young University at 7 p.m. on Wednesday, Nov. 16, at Bramlage Coliseum.

Patterson knows her team will have to compete at a higher

level against BYU, a team that took No. 8, Duke, to the wire before losing 61-55.

“We’re not gonna come in here Wednesday worried about what BYU did to Duke I think our preoccupation is going to be on us and the opportunity we have to beat BYU,” Patter-son said, “and I’m anticipat-ing it’ll be a great game for the Wildcats.”

The Indian Student As-sociation held their Cul-tural Show as part of their Sanskriti Festival Sunday afternoon in Forum Hall. It was the flagship of the day for the ISA, who earlier had been holding an exhibit in the K-State Student Union Courtyard.

The show began promptly once the audience arrived. The lights were shut off im-mediately and the introduc-tions were made by the two hosts. They had a bit of im-promptu comedy between every act to produce laughs and establish a theme for the next act. It started a compe-tition among the announc-ers to see who could tell the better joke.

The show began with a few traditional dances. The stage was lighted up so ev-erything was bright and the dancers wore very bold colors. This contrasted with the more modern Bolly-wood dance numbers that were sprinkled in where the performers wore more monochrome colors and

they danced in the spotlight.Ranjit Godavarthy, grad-

American conservatives have become increasingly good at making catchphrases stick in the public mindset, and one of their favorites is “big government,” lobbed as an insult against liberal economic policies, or really, any policy that they disagree with. How many times have pundits accused President Obama of expanding gov-ernment?

On Oct. 21, columnist Deroy Murdock of the Na-tional Review online wrote a piece entitled “Obama Grows Government at Re-cord-Shattering Pace.” When Glenn Beck was on Fox, I remember a segment with his chalkboard tracing the growth of government in the last hundred years that sur-prised me with a venomous critique of Teddy Roosevelt. In her book “Going Rogue,” Sarah Palin reminisced about Wasilla, Ala. before she became mayor, writing, “Government was growing faster than the fi reweed in July.”

Conservatives rally against big government in matters of the economy, but I don’t see them rally against big government in, for example, the military or border security or gay mar-riage. Similarly, liberals who complain about authoritari-anism in social issues don’t have a problem with the government regulating cor-porations or providing wel-fare. Th e point here isn’t that either side has hypocritical beliefs; the point is that most people do favor government intervention in some aspect of our society (except for the oft -overlooked libertarians among us), but the two main camps disagree where to intervene.

If there is hypocrisy to be found, it’s in the disconnect between the conservatives’ anti-government rhetoric and their policies that don’t match up. Take the military, for example. Not too long ago, our elected representa-

tives spent goodness-knows-how-long arguing over budget cuts and the debt ceiling, but the Republicans stuck to their guns when it came to military spending.

Medicare and social secu-rity were acceptable targets for scrutiny when it came to big government that needs to be done away with, but the 20 percent of the govern-ment’s budget spent on the Department of Defense, according to the Congres-sional Budget Offi ce, was off limits. A person can’t honestly claim to oppose “big government” on prin-ciple while still insisting that America maintain hundreds of foreign military bases.

Look at other social

issues. Th e conservative positions on abortion, fl ag burning, gay rights and marijuana use favor restrict-ing certain freedoms for some social benefi t. Building a massive border fence and stepping up border security would be quite an undertak-ing, but conservatives don’t oppose it because of the expansion in government. Th e death penalty gives the government the power to kill its own citizens, and the Patriot Act expanded the government’s ability to invade our privacy, but it’s usually liberals who oppose giving the government those powers.

Judging by issues of war and security, conservatives

aren’t categorically opposed to spending money, either. Th e conservative wing of the country sees security and morality as worthy causes for government intervention (which I’m not criticizing), but somehow doesn’t realize that it supports “big govern-ment.”

Looking past the dishon-esty of the “big government” rhetoric, another part of the problem is the portrayal of government as an inher-ently fl awed solution. Except for anarchists, most people don’t actually believe that government is inherently fl awed, but the fi ery rhetoric sure does make government sound nasty. I think it cre-ates a weird sort of cognitive

dissonance in which people seem to think that all of their own opinions are on the side of freedom and that the other side wants Or-wellian government control over our lives. Th at’s why there are Tea Party protest-ers who carry signs that say, “Keep government out of my Medicare.”

My point isn’t to attack conservative positions, but to attack conservative rheto-ric. It’s dishonest for the party that saw the creation of the Department of Home-land Security to criticize the opposing party for creating a government health care program. Big government sounds scary, and shout-ing it at every opportunity

has obviously been a good marketing strategy for the Republicans, but it hasn’t been good for our national discussion. Lobbing “big government” as an insult is not only hypocritical, but it also unnecessarily vilifi es the other side and polarizes our politics a little bit more. Practically everyone does favor government interven-tion somewhere for some reason, and we still believe that government could be a constructive solution to some issues, and we should be honest and admit it.

The quote “all good things must come to an end” is a sad but true statement, and it is especially relevant to the recent passing of one of America’s most original jour-nalism icons, Andy Rooney. The contributions Rooney made to the media may seem fun, witty and light-hearted but the spirit of this television personality did much more for news broadcasting than just provide a good laugh at the end of “60 Minutes.”

Andy Rooney was much more than an on-air per-sonality. He became part of the television revolution and helped do what so many people in the industry cannot do; voice his opinion in a way that made people want to listen. The art of being both informative and entertaining is what made him unique.

There are plenty of pundits in the media who can drone on for hours about any given subject and never actually say a single thing. A person could watch congressional coverage on C-SPAN for two hours and learn less than what Rooney could say about any given subject - political, social or completely random, in two minutes.

Rooney was always in-volved in journalism from the time his career began to the time it ended. He worked for all forms of media outlets from print to radio to his famed television contribu-tions on CBS. In fact, the launch of Rooney’s ending segment began in the early 1960s when he was chal-lenged to write an essay on absolutely any subject. He

wrote an essay on doors. Thus began his witty commentary. It started with something as mundane as doors.

Part of what makes Rooney legendary is the amount of time he spent working in the news industry and the social changes he was able to report on through the years. He witnessed the civil rights movement in the 1960s when turmoil between African Americans and white Ameri-cans was raging. His script

for the CBS special “Of Black America” won Andy his first Emmy in 1968 and shortly thereafter he joined the “60 Minutes” cast.

Although much of Rooney’s humor is in the way he effectively deadpanned about mundane situations and made it both relevant and hilarious, it is obvious that his writing talents were ef-fective for a broad number of social issues. In 1970, Rooney left CBS after they refused

to air a controversial essay about war. He instead read his essay on PBS and then won a Writer’s Guild Award for the piece. Needless to say, Andy rejoined the CBS staff and began writing special programming.

As with any writer who captures the attention of a large audience, Andy Rooney was no stranger to contro-versy. His sharp remarks and dry wit came off as offensive at times, although Rooney

made it very clear he meant no actual offense to any particular group of people. Mostly, Andy Rooney was the guy that said what everyone was thinking but no one was saying.

After making a comment about homosexual AIDS-related deaths in 1990, CBS suspended Rooney without pay for three months. Andy wrote an explanatory apology to a gay organization to clar-ify he meant no offense with

his comment and did not mean to come off as insensi-tive even though the station ordered him not to. During those months, CBS’s audi-ence ratings dropped sharply, showing that America really wanted to hear the wisecracks and rants of the dry com-mentator.

Rooney always made it clear he didn’t like the lime-light and was never comfort-able being treated as a famous icon. That fact that someone who won so many awards and had such a great impact on the media as a writer would deliver his weekly com-mentary from his cluttered office with books, papers, and Emmys casually strewn about the small space made Rooney lovable.

He was a regular guy who didn’t see himself above any other person in this country. He just had a few things he wanted to say. And by the time his 33-year career on CBS ended in October, he had 1,097 things he had said, as that was the number of his final commentary.

Andy Rooney was a pioneering individual who changed the way Americans viewed media. Watching the news was fun because of him. His distinctive style and voice were unmistakable and even if you didn’t agree with his opinions, you could at least appreciate the way he voiced them. In Rooney’s own words in his final commentary, “I spent my first 50 years trying to become well-known as a writer and the next 30 trying to avoid being famous.” The journalism industry has lost a true icon who prob-ably wouldn’t even want this tribute to be written, because after all, he was just another guy with a couple things to say.

we knew the audience knew the words. I think it worked very well. Many stood up, sang and clapped along.”

Krishna Kiran, president of the ISA, explained the pur-pose of the cultural show and the performances.

“Sanskriti is a symbol of cultural tradition of India,”

said Kiran. “We had many traditional dances and some more modern ones to reach everyone. We have this every year but something new this year was we had a Sri Lankan and African group also par-ticipate.”

Kiran said that this time in November is the best time for the show because no one has left for school break yet and

it doesn’t interfere with fi nals.Madhumitha Loganathan,

graduate student in computer science, said they enjoyed a number of performances.

“I enjoyed the last per-formance,” Loganathan said. “Th e theme of friendship shown through dance was interesting. My favorite was one of the earlier dances. It was an Odissi performance

and doing one of those is very hard, so I liked that.”

Loganathan said that one of the shows best features was the mix of singing and danc-ing.

“It was the total package not all of one kind either,” said Loganathan, “I liked the musical skit. It incorporated a little of everything and it was funny.

Despite a great eff ort according to head coach Casie Lisabeth, the Wild-cats were unable to defeat the Texas A&M Aggies as they lost 11-8.

“Despite the loss, this was a great way to end the home fall season,” said Lisabeth. “Walking away from the No. 2 team in the country with such a close score, a tie in Western and two match-MVP awards is a huge ac-complishment. I am very proud of our teams’ confi dence in themselves and

each other today. Th ey have defi nitely shown a lot of progress since the fi rst show of the season.”

K-State survived a scare in its season opener on Friday against the Charles-ton Southern Buccaneers to win 72-67. Th e Wildcats played a strong second half to make up for the 14-point defi cit it faced at halft ime.

Head coach Frank Martin said aft er the game that the lack of intensity and focus in practice leading up to the game was a large reason for his team’s early struggles. Will Spradling, who ended the game with 15 points, said it is both Rodney Mc-Gruder’s and his respon-sibilities to get their team prepared.

“Th e way we practiced, we did not practice with any intensity. We were turning the ball over in practices,” Spradling said. “We carried it over to the beginning of the game and the fi rst pos-session--I threw it away. Yes-terday, I probably had eight turnovers in practice and that carried over into the game. Th at is my fault. Th at is Rodney and my fault that we did not take leadership of our team. We did not get our team ready like we should have.”

Martin said he did not raise his voice at halft ime because of players like Mc-Gruder and Spradling.

“Th ese guys have pride. I do not need to give them a screaming and yelling speech,” Martin said of Spra-dling and McGruder. “Th ey bust their rear ends to repre-sent this program. Th ey have something that very few people have in this world today and that is pride.”

McGruder led the team in points and rebounds with 18 and 11 respectively.

Th e Wildcats were out-rebounded by nine against a much smaller team but managed to overcome this by holding the Buccaneers to 4 of 27 from the fi eld in the second half. Jordan Hen-riquez, who fi nished the game with 11 points and nine rebounds, led the Wild-cats with fi ve blocks and Martin said he “did a great job of guarding the rim,” in the second half.

Charleston Southern’s head coach Barclay Rade-baugh said he was not sur-prised on how well his team rebounded the ball.

“We expect to rebound well. We want to be relentless on the off ensive and defen-sive boards. We have been a good rebounding team each of the last fi ve years. I thought rebounding wise we showed a lot of heart,” Rade-baugh said. “We know we have to do that with our size, being 6-foot 5-inches, 6-foot 6-inches on a good day. We work on rebounding every day for a long time. We want to turn that into a strength instead of a potential weak-

ness; because of our height, we expect to rebound every time we play.”

Martin said that all the coaches understood coming into the game that the Buc-caneers would be a diffi cult matchup.

“Th ey play that funky defense it is not zone and it is not man, it is a diff er-ent defense, and you have to understand how to attack it,” Martin said. “Th e fi rst half we never ran anything, we stood around holding the ball, nobody moved, nobody cut, nobody got in that matchup. In the second half, we did a better job of that.”

Martin said that his team will use this game as a learn-ing situation and build from it.

“I will take ugly wins before I will take any hard well played loss,” Martin said. “When we played KU here two years ago, we did

everything we could and we still lost and that is an ugly feeling.”

Th e Wildcats will take on Loyola Chicago Monday at 7 p.m. at Bramlage Coliseum and Fox Sports Network will televise the game.

Th e Wildcats headed to Austin, Texas in search of their third consec-utive victory. Aft er a 25-23 victory in the fi rst set, the Wildcats looked like they might be able to get that victory. Even though the Wildcats won the fi rst set, Texas came back and won the fi nal three sets to win the match (25-23, 16-25, 18-25, 20-25.)

Th e fi rst set the Wildcats were able to build a quick 7-4 lead and were able to stretch the lead out mul-tiple times to four points. Th is forced the Longhorns to play catch up the rest of the set. Texas tied the set up at 23 apiece, but the Wildcats were able to respond with two straight points to win the set.

Th e second set the Wildcats again came out and battled with the Long-horns, as the score was tied at 14 midway through the set. However,

Texas was able to go on a four-point run to take a four-point lead, and pulled away for the victory in the set.

Th e two teams entered intermis-sion tied at one set. Th e Longhorns momentum carried from the second set into the third.

Texas was able to get out to a quick lead and force the Wildcats to play from behind in the set; just as the Longhorns were forced to do in the fi rst. Th e Wildcats were never able to put pressure on the Longhorns, as they were able to pull away from the Wildcats for the victory.

In the fourth set, things once again went Texas’ way as they jumped out to a quick lead and were able to once again to keep K-State at bay and pull out the victory.

Th e Wildcats will be back in action on Wednesday in Ames, Iowa as they take on the No. 13 Iowa State Cyclones. First serve from Hilton Coliseum is set for 6:30 p.m.

matchups against the Wildcats. How-ever, this also marked the fi rst time in three weeks the Wildcats came back from 14-0 to win the game.

“I think we have responded quite well,” Snyder said. “I think aft er the Oklahoma ballgame we did respond well. When I say respond well, I mean, come back and play hard just like we did today. Th at is three games in a row where we have gone down by 14 which must be somebody’s magic number. But it is not ours.”

For the Aggies, their once promis-ing season has taken a turn for the worse. In what is their last go-around in the Big 12 before the Aggies join the Southeastern Conference next year,

they have lost three straight games and fell to 5-5 overall and 3-4 in the Big 12.

“It’s been a missed opportunities this season, not just this game,” Texas A&M head coach Mike Sherman said. “We certainly had chances to win the game.”

As for K-State, the win gave the Wildcats an 8-2 overall record, a 5-2 record in Big 12 play, and ended a two-

game losing streak. Th e Wildcats face Texas in Austin next Saturday, who lost to the Missouri Tigers on Satur-day. Th en the Wildcats return home for their season fi nale against Iowa State on Dec. 3.

“Let’s go get these next two,” K-State left guard Nick Puetz said. “And see what happens.”

Kelly Tynanstaff writer

Th e UFM and Union Pro-gram Council teamed up to host “Be Fit, Be Healthy,” as part of the UPC’s Aft er Hours program on Friday. Th e event off ered Zumba, belly dancing and kickboxing demonstra-tions.

Hillary L’Ecuyer, sophomore in interior design and Aft er Hours co-chair, said the UPC puts on a diff erent event almost every Friday in the K-State Stu-dent Union. Past events have included comedian Josh Blue and fall-related activities, such as pumpkin carving.

Th e fi rst fi tness class of the night was Zumba, which is a high intensity Latin dance class.

Elsa Tuburen, who has been a zumba instructor since 2007, described Zumba as “a fl avor of Latin rhythms.” Tuburen said Zumba makes a person use every part of your body and is really great cardio.

Zumba was brought from Columbia to the United State in 2003 by aerobics instructor Beto Perez, when he forgot his music for a class he was going to teach and was forced to use the Latin rhythm music that he happened to have in his car.

Th e class featured tradition-al Zumba, but there are several other types including Zumba Gold, which is for active older people, Zumbatonic for chil-dren and Aqua Zumba.

Tuburen lead the class and showed the participants dif-ferent Latin dance moves. Th e workout included fast paced music, arm and leg movements and keeping up with the Latin beats.

“I love the Latin rhythm,” said Swasati Mukherjee, a Zumba participant. “I love coming to class because of the instructor and it doesn’t feel like I’m exercising because its fun.”

LaBarbara Wigfall, associ-ate professor of landscape ar-chitecture and regional and community planning and a

participant in the Zumba class, also said that her favorite part of Zumba is the rhythm.

Th e next class was belly dancing, lead by Amy Werner, who has been teaching for the past four years. Werner and four of her students were dressed up from head to toe in full belly dancing attire.

Although belly dancing is generally associated with the Middle East, Werner said that “belly dancing has very elabo-rate and complicated roots” and no one really knows where it started.

Kathryn Harth, coordina-tor in the continuing education department and co-leader of the belly dancing class, said her favorite part of belly-dancing is the sisterhood.

“It doesn’t matter what body type you have, it’s about making your body beautiful and feeling beautiful,” Harth said.

Members agreed that belly dancing is a full body work out and said the specifi c parts that really get worked out are abs, quads, core and arms.

Th e women kicked off the class by giving a couple of belly dancing performances. Th ey danced to traditional music, as well as modern music such as “Waiting for the End” by Linkin Park. Th e women taught the class basic belly dancing moves such as “snake arms,” “hip twist” and the “Basic Egyptian.”

Aft er learning the basics they picked up the pace and combined all the moves and turned it into a belly dancing routine.

Abby Banks, graduate stu-dent in public health, helped teach the class and said that she began belly dancing because of K-State.

“I started belly dancing the same semester I had to take Human Body,” Banks said. “Th ey encouraged us to take a light class so I chose belly danc-ing, I’ve never quit. I’ve been doing it for fi ve years now.”

Jakki Thompsonstaff writer

As students crowded around the bottom of the three stairs to the entrance of the K-State Stu-dent Union, members of Th e Union Program Council threw 1,111 ping pong balls onto Pat Bosco Student Plaza at 11:11 a.m.

“UPC had gotten the idea from our advisers,” said Amanda Shankle, senior in marketing and vice president of promo-tions for UPC. “Our adviser was approached by the Union director. Th en our advisers ap-proached the executive board about it including the president and three vice presidents. We liked the idea and just kind of ran with it.”

Shankle said there was some diffi culty with how the ping pong balls would be thrown onto Pat Bosco Student Plaza. She said they had originally thought of UPC members standing on the awning over

the tables in front, but said this created diffi culty with people getting in and out of the Union.

“Another issue we had was the need to amplify our voices,” Shankle said. “We decided just to use committee members who were loud to make sure we didn’t disrupt classes there were going on near the Student Union.”

Of the 1,111 ping pong balls UPC threw onto the plaza, there were 10 numbered balls, all cor-relating to a specifi c prize. Th ree Xboxes were given out as prizes. Th ere were also other prizes, such as a UPC prize pack with promotional pieces of UPC ma-terials, a movie prize pack full of free movie passes and a candy prize pack with 11 giant sized candy bars in it.

Within 10 seconds of the ping pong balls hitting the ground, Chris Wainwright, junior in mechanical engineer-ing, had claimed the fi rst Xbox when he picked up ball number eight.

“Th is was unbelievable,”

Wainwright said. “I had left class early to come here. I was in the second row of people standing on the stairs. I was just looking for something obvious and I just got lucky.”

Wainwright said when he won, he was completely speech-less. Wainwright wasn’t the only person who took home an Xbox that day. Th ere was an Xbox as a prize for whoever picked up the most amount of ping pong balls aft er the competition was over.

“We didn’t know how to collect all the ping pong balls again,” Shankle said. “Th is was an easy solution to have people help us clean up and win a new Xbox.”

Shankle said the Xboxes were left over from the UPC event sponsored by the Battlefi eld 3 release earlier this semester.

Although the thrill of win-ning a new Xbox was an incen-tive for people to rush onto Pat Bosco Student Plaza, there were some safety concerns involved with the event. Th ere was a stu-

dent who was kicked in the face from the rush of people attend-ing and aft er students had began to clear the event, a lens from a pair of glasses was found and turned in.

“Th is event was a little scary,” said Elizabeth Davidson, sopho-more in art education. “Th ere were literally bodies every-where. Everyone wanted to win those Xboxes.”

With only fi ve numbered purple ping pong balls and fi ve numbered white balls in the 1,111 at the event, no one knew which prizes were paired with the numbered balls. With the mad rush of people and students scavenging to fi nd a numbered ball, Shankle said this event was a successful one.

“People who didn’t come to this event missed out on a good laugh,” Davidson said. “Th ey also missed out on a chance to win cool prizes. Th is was just a really fun event. I’m happy I came out, even though I didn’t win an Xbox.”
