Lauren Gocken | COLLEGIAN “Arnold got arrested, you know. But he got lucky. They charged him with attempt- ed murder. Then they plea-bar- gained that down to assault with a deadly weapon. Then they plea- bargained that down to being an Indian in the Twentieth Centu- ry,” said Thomas Builds-the-Fire in the critically acclaimed movie “Smoke Signals.” The film was shown last night in Forum Hall and was followed by a panel discussion featuring Chris Eyre, the movie’s director. The movie, which is based on a 12-page story by Sherman Alexie, is about Victor Joseph and his cousin, Thomas Build- the-Fire, and their trip to Arizo- na to retrieve the ashes of Victor Joseph’s father. Through their journey, Victor Joseph finds a way to forgive his father and find peace within himself. “They say you make the same movie over and over,” Eyre said. “My whole secret is that my movies are about loss, about for- giveness, about Victor Joseph never being quite able to touch his father. My movies are always centered around that idea.” Although the movie is a com- edy, it portrays serious, true-to- life Native American issues, like alcoholism and abuse. The alcoholism is portrayed through Victor Joseph’s father. Eyre said the way the father is handled shows the truths of al- coholism in the Native Ameri- can communities. It shows the issues and the hardships associated with alco- holism, but at the same time, he keeps the father a human being. The father is still loved despite his alcoholism and that is what is so real to life. “This is a father,” Eyre said. “That’s who we are, some of us. Unless you own those things, you can’t heal those things. These are realities.” When asked by an audience member what kept him watch- ing the movie time after time, Webster said it was the honesty portrayed about Native life. “He really captured Indian life how it is,” said Billie Web- ster, a former president of the Native American Student As- sociation and a panelist at the event. “I’ve seen what you see on that movie, you see it in all tribes. That’s what’s really hap- pening out there.” The movie is not politically correct and that is what makes it so very true, added Harald Prins, professor of anthropology and also a panelist. This was one of the first mov- ies written, directed and pro- duced by a Native American, said Georgia Perez, adviser of the Native American Student Association. “Native Americans have been in films since the first motion pictures,” Eyre said. “In the hun- dred years or whatever [since films have been made}, natives have never really controlled their image in the mass media. That’s what this is about. It’s a balance of some sort, we want to say about how we are.” The event was funded by SGA’s Diversity Programming Committee. Lisa Tatonetti, as- sistant professor of English was also a panelist in the discussion. tuesday, april 20, 2010 Vol. 115 | No. 141 www.kstatecollegian.com collegian kansas state The perfect outfit can make all the difference on a date, whether you’re dressing up or going casual.

Commissioners are expected to vote on vari- ous items in the consent agen- da and discuss three items on the general agenda. The Commission has pre- viously reviewed the items that are on tonight’s consent agenda, and the commission- ers are expected to make a fi- nal decision to approve or deny these items at the meet- ing. City County Clerk, Gary Fees, is also expected to nom- inate a new mayor for the city, as Mayor Bob Strawn’s term has been fulfilled. Strawn will be recognized for his service as Mayor and the Mayor- elect will provide comments for the coming year. During the general agen- da, commissioners will hear recommendations for a long- term sub-lease agreement be- tween Farrar Corporation and Manhattan Day Care and Learning Centers, Inc. for the construction of a new and improved Day Care Cen- ter for the city. Next on the agenda will be the discussion of a revised petition for McCall Road improvements from Hayes Drive to Kretschmer Drive. If commissioners approve the petition, McCall Road will be reconstructed to a five-lane section, with a 5 ft.-wide side- walk on the south side of the road and a 10 ft.-wide side- walk on the north side. . The last item on the gen- eral agenda regards the fire suppression sprinklers in one and two family residential structures. This issue arises because the 2009 version of the International Residential Code contains such a require- ment and the city is sched- uled to consider the adoption of that Code. All citizens are encour- aged to attend the meet- ing, which will be televised on local Cable channel 3.

Karen Ingram | Collegian

Georgia Perez has a warm smile to match her warm brown eyes, but many peo-ple who first meet her are not aware of her heritage.

Perez has been a member of the K-State community for more than 30 years. She is the Accounts Payable/Re-ceivable Clerk in the Busi-ness Office of the Student Union and she is also the adviser for the Native Amer-ican Student Association, or NASA.

“Growing up in Illinois, I was too dark to be white,” said Perez. “In Kansas, I’m too light to be Native.”

Perez grew up in the small and predominantly white town of Chillicothe, Ill. Per-ez is one-quarter Iowa and Sac and Fox, and this, com-bined with the Missouri ac-cent she picked up from her mother, made things diffi-cult for her. Some teachers thought she was “being bad” for not pronouncing words correctly.

She and another girl were denied recess with the other children because they want-ed to play with the boys and didn’t know any “girl games.” In first grade, her teacher started each day of school by forcing the Mex-ican boy in her class to lie across her desk so she could spank him.

“Because she was sure he’d need it by the end of the day,” Perez explained.

Things improved by the time Perez reached high school. She had good teach-ers and became involved in signing petitions and fight-ing for causes, like doing coat drives for the impov-erished people of the Pine Ridge Indian Reservation in South Dakota.

Perez also spent much of her time growing up with her grandmother, Fannie Isabel Veigler, who taught Perez how to do beadwork,

embroidery, crocheting and more by the age of five. Vei-gler made money by selling American Indian beaded jewelry and other crafts to tourists. Veigler died while Perez was in grade school, leaving a hole in her life that would never be the same.

“That’s when it hit me, how much of my heritage I never learned,” said Perez.

Perez continued to do the artwork and crafts her grandmother taught her, learning more about tradi-tional tribal patterns from books and research in muse-ums. She moved to Kansas in the 1970s and opened an art studio near her home in Westmoreland in 2002. Peo-ple began to visit her studio and in 2005, she moved into a new building and opened the shop to the public, giv-ing classes for those who wanted to learn.

Unfortunately, Perez can-not call any of her artwork Native American or Ameri-can Indian art. Instead, she calls it “folk art” and is very careful to inform people of this. By law, only registered Native Americans can sell real Native American art, and Perez is not registered.

Perez’s father was born in 1916, at a time when Amer-ican Indians were not con-sidered U.S. citizens and were denied many rights, like voting. Perez’s grand-mother Veigler did not reg-ister her children with the tribe because, if she had, her children would have been taken away to grow up in a boarding school where they would be beaten for speak-ing their native tongue and would be forced to deny their own culture. Veigler did not want her children growing up that way, but did not have the power to stop it. Her only option was to deny their heritage on pa-per, so that they could em-brace it in reality.

After the equal rights movements of the 1960s, many tribes experienced a flood of people trying to join. Some responded by imposing restrictions and Veigler’s tribe, the Sac and Fox, requires that at least

one parent be a registered member of the tribe. Perez’s father never registered, so Perez cannot join the tribe.

“It does bother me that I can’t claim my heritage,” said Perez. “If I was able to be tribally registered it would mean I could claim my heritage and be whole. I wouldn’t have to give the disclaimer when selling art-work to a collector.”

Despite this, Perez said she is happy with her life.

“I feel like I’m part of the Earth. The land is important to me. I practice Native re-ligion and live traditional-ly,” she said. “I have a much richer life by my interaction with the Native American students.”

Perez has been active in

the Native American Stu-dent Association since 1995 and has been the ad-visor since 2006. Unfortu-nately, because of a decline in membership over the years, NASA has not host-ed its own powwow since late 2004. Perez hopes the

membership will revive so that NASA can have a bet-ter presence on campus and offer more activities for stu-dents, like powwows, to share their Native culture with others.

“I would like to see NASA continue educating people

that we are many different nations with many differ-ent traditions and folk arts and heritages,” said Perez. “To try and be myth busters of the stereotypes that peo-ple acquire from what they learn as children.”

Last year at about this time, I was sitting in a classroom and my professor asked, “So, here we are. I open up the discussion to you guys, where do you think we’re headed now?” It was the last class period in Western Civiliza-tion II, and we had gotten all the way up to the events of Sept. 11, 2001. His question was a simple one: Where did we think West-ern society was headed? One stu-dent said, “I think we’re at the end. Yes, for a long time, it’s been a Western-dominated world but I think more and more we’re head-ed east.”

I’m not entirely sure I agree with that analysis. I think the United States and the European Union both still have a lot of life to live, but I also think that gen-

tleman was onto something: The world, whether we like it or not, is shifting toward the east. It’s time we accept that and start preparing ourselves. More and more each day, China and Japan are becom-ing major headquarters for busi-ness and innovation. Hong Kong is becoming more important to the global economy each day. In the technology-centered world we live in, these nations are often the ones calling the shots.

It’s time we get with the pro-gram. K-State is a great school. I love going here and I love the thought I will someday be able to call myself a K-State alumnus and enjoy the benefits of a degree from here.

That having been said, it is silly that we do not offer Japanese and Chinese majors. These countries have three languages (Manda-rin, Cantonese and Japanese) that are increasingly valuable each day and what day better than today to acknowledge that?

Not only would this be good for those of us who already attend K-State, but I think it would also bring students to this school who

might not attend otherwise. There are seniors in high school who can see the world shifting east and will make college decisions based on that. In this economy, being able to say you have a degree in Chinese in addition to your busi-ness degree will set you apart from the pack. There are many people, many younger than me, who are already figuring this out.

There are other things to do be-sides demanding the creation of new majors here at K-State. We need to hold our politicians ac-countable and make sure they acknowledge this shift as well. While you can almost never turn on the news without hearing a pundit mention that China owns a lot of our foreign debt (much ado about something, if you will), we should not forget Japan owns al-most as much.

According to the super schol-arly source Wikipedia.org, while China owns a little over 24 per-cent of our foreign debt, Japan owns almost 21 percent. Once you add in Taiwan and Hong Kong – who, combined, own an addition-al 7.2 percent - one realizes a ma-

jority of our foreign debt is owned by Eastern Asian countries. Our leaders in Washington need to be held accountable for that and, to paraphrase Quentin Tarantino here, unless we’re OK with letting those ramblers keep on rambling, we need to stop sending them back unless they get their act to-gether.

For the first 10 years of my life, Hong Kong was owned by the western world. Now Hong Kong itself owns more of the western world each day. Could there be any better example of how the world is shifting east? We have some difficult decisions ahead of us on how we should adjust to a world that is constantly going and experiencing more globaliza-tion, but before we can make any decisions, we need to at least ac-knowledge the factors at play. It’s always hard to compete if you don’t know the rules of the game and each and every day, China and Japan are writing new rules.

“The best things in life aren’t things,” said Art Buchwald.

In a recent study, it found people who spend their hard-earned cash on experi-ences, such as a night out, dinner or va-cations, are much happier in comparison to those who spend it on tangible pos-sessions. The problem with continuous-ly buying material objects is the pleasure fades, but with activities, we always have a memory to refer back to that brings us a smile.

Think of the last item you purchased - a new computer or maybe even a new car. According to research, the feeling of hap-piness and excitement you gain from that new purchase is short-lived. It only takes six to eight weeks for that “happiness” to fade, and the longest it will last you is up to three months, according to CNN.com.

A recent study by Leaf Van Boven, pro-fessor of psychology at the University of Colorado at Boulder, sought to measure if materialistic people were liked less than those who sought experiences.

In this study, the participants were told about either a person who used their money on an experience or on a materi-al item. Researchers found when partic-ipants were told about people who had made material purchases they tended to like that person less.

The results concluded people held a negative stereotype against the more ma-terialistic people. When someone is pre-occupied with buying the latest and great-est product, we tend to label him or her as self-centered or selfish. So it is easy to understand how our perceptions of mate-rialistic people translate into liking them less.

Between friends especially, trading sto-ries about materials possessions incites more jealousy than friendship. Comparing objects make us feel inadequate and com-petitive, whereas swapping vacation sto-ries brings us closer together. Experienc-es are always personal and unique, and sharing them with others brings a sense of closeness not competition.

Experiences even as simple as attend-ing a baseball game with friends help bring people closer together, ultimately leaving them with a happy memory.

As college students, our income lev-els are certainly not high and investing what little we have into enjoyable experi-ences is the best thing we can do for our well-being and ourselves. Spending more time doing the things that make us happy seems like common sense, but materials seem to be the quick fix to suffice our un-happiness or boredom.

Gift-giving materialism has been a long debated subject, and this study helps clear up some confusion. The next time you are at a loss for what to give someone, think of what they love to do and do it with them. It is the easiest and best gift you can give to someone; spending time to-gether. It sounds cheesy and cliché, but science backs up this claim.

The challenge is to apply this informa-tion to our own lives, and in turn reap the benefits of a happier and more fulfilled life full of experiences and memories, not objects and emptiness.

The recent Tea Party movement has given Democrats and Obama support-ers a new target for the 2010 congres-sional elections. Those against the Tea Party will paint it as a racist, anarchist, hate group in an attempt to win votes for their party.

In reality, the Tea Party is a group for constitutionalists who share the vi-sion of the founding fathers. The Tea Party came to existence with the rise of the socialist left in an effort to counter the progressive tendencies of the Dem-ocrats. But why do people hate the Tea Party?

The answer is simple: The Tea Par-ty is right. When banks and automo-bile companies were failing, the gov-ernment was bailing them out. When a majority of Americans were against government health care reform, Obama and the Democrats were hell-bent on forcing it down their throats.

The Tea Party was against the bail-outs and in favor of letting capitalism run its course. They also vehemently opposed health care reform. Both in-stances expanded the federal govern-ment’s power over private businesses and set the nation on a course to add $11.5 trillion to the national debt this next decade.

The thing is, the Tea Party fights against everything the socialists believe makes a good country, such as punish-ing the wealthy with higher taxes, gov-ernment health care, business safety nets, everything Obama and the Demo-crats have been promising their voters.

But the Democrats and the left-wing media have recently seen the impact of the Tea Party on the American peo-ple. Threats against congressmen have tripled since Congress passed health-care reform, according to the Associat-ed Press. Congressmen who were ex-pected to run for reelection, such as Chris Dodd, Bart Stupak and Eric Mas-sa, have all resigned following the pas-sage of the health care bill. The Dem-ocrats see this as a product of the Tea Party movement.

They are most likely correct. How-ever, if they fear a group that stands for the beliefs of the founding fathers, what does that say about them? See,

the Democrats are fearing right now for the 2010 congressional elections. With the threat of losing a majority in either house, Obama’s power weakens. And if the Republicans have a good year in 2010, the momentum could carry over to the presidential election in 2012.

Resorting to labeling the Tea Party as a racist and hate group shows the des-peration from the socialists. The fact is, if they let Americans figure out what the Tea Party really stands for - capital-ism, limited government and lower tax-es - then they will lose the election.

The hatred directed toward the Tea Party is an effort to maintain politi-cal power, not to protect the American people. CNN and MSCBC show videos of the Tea Party holding signs and ral-lying in Washington. Apparently, they are not allowed to rally. What no liberal media outlet will discuss is the Tea Par-ty’s actual views, out of fear more Amer-icans will be swayed. The Tea Party has American values at heart and what be-gan as a grassroots movement quickly became a nationwide sensation because of the undeniable truth of the move-ment. Hatred directed toward it is mere-ly disguised fear.

The friendly confines of Toin-ton Family Stadium have been very good to the K-State baseball team this season.

During the 2009-10 campaign, the No. 16 Wildcats have com-piled a 16-2 record in the Little Apple. Tonight, they will find out if that success will continue at another location within the bor-ders of the Sunflower State.

K-State (26-8), is heading south in search of a regular sea-son sweep of Wichita State (22-13). After Wildcats claimed an 8-3 decision over the Shockers in Manhattan on March 30, Wich-ita State will be out for redemp-tion - this time on its own turf.

According to head coach Brad Hill, K-State can’t afford to let its guard down, despite coming off a three-game sweep of Baylor last weekend.

“Hopefully we’re better than what we were last week,” Hill said. “As I told the guys, this game can be very humbling in a hurry. We play a great series against Nebraska then go lay an egg in Provo. We sure don’t want to lay an egg in Wichita. Going on the road, it’s awful tough.”

The Wildcats will look to build off three straight solid pitch-ing performances against the Bears. They allowed just 13 to-tal hits by Baylor in three games. The Shockers managed just five against K-State in their first meet-ing. This time around, the Wild-cats will send sophomore Kay-von Bahramzadeh to the mound. The native of Tucson, Ariz., has been shaky this season, as he has compiled an 0-2 record and 6.61 earned run average in 16.1 innings. He will take on Wichi-ta State freshman Tobin Matey-chick. Mateychick owns a 2-0 re-cord and a 4.79 ERA this sea-son.

Offensively, the Wildcats have been paced this season by soph-omore outfielder Nick Martini and junior shortstop Carter Ju-rica. Martini, a 2009 Freshman All-American, leads the team with a .423 batting average and has recorded at least one hit in all but two of K-State’s 34 games this season. Jurica owns a .373 average and leads the team in runs batted in (43) and home runs (5).

Wichita State will counter with a pair of seniors, catch-er Cody Lassley and outfielder

Ryan Jones - both Wichita na-tives. Lassley is hitting .343, is tied for the team lead with seven home runs and owns a .593 slug-ging percentage. Jones has also hit seven homers and leads the Shockers in RBIs (42) and total bases (70).

Historically, Wichita State has dominated the series and owns

a 48-29 all-time record, but the Wildcats have enjoyed some re-cent success in Wichita as they have won each of the last three road games - all by a single run.

Though many consider the Wildcats and Shockers to be in-state rivals, Hill said his team al-ways looks forward to its annual trip to Eck Stadium.

“It’s always a fun game for us,” he said. “It will be a great crowd down there, so obviously, it’s al-ways going to be a fun match-up.”

First pitch is set for 7 p.m. Fans who can’t make the trip but still want to follow action can catch a televised broadcast of the game on Cox Kansas 22.

Seasons come and sea-sons go, and K-State’s rowing team ended its regular season on a rather low note.

Last weekend, the team traveled to Melton Lake in Oak Ridge, Tenn., to com-pete in the Southern Inter-collegiate Rowing Associ-ation Championship. After two days of tough competi-tion, not one of the five com-peting boats won any races.

However, there was one highlight of the weekend: the Novice 4+ team brought back a second-place finish in its competition, a feat high-lighted by the fact that the boat had never raced before in this season.

Head coach Patrick Sweeney said he attributed the poor results to little prep-aration in the water prior to the meet and the relative in-

experience of the team, a fac-tor stemming mostly from the ages of the athletes, accord-ing to a press release from the Sports Information office.

Kicking off the day of rac-es for K-State, the Varsity 8+ boat took last place in a heat against Purdue, Tulsa and Grand Valley, who won the race. On Sunday, the boat won the B final over South-ern Methodist University and Jacksonville.

Of the other boats from K-State that competed in Ten-nessee on Saturday, Novice 8+ finished third out of five, Second Varsity 8+ ended in the last of five, Varsity 4+ was fourth of six and Novice 8+ dropped its heat as sixth of six.

The team will return to competition when it goes down to Oklahoma for the Big 12 Championships on May 1.

Sunflower ShowdownBaseball heads to Wichita to play in-state rivals

Most people familiar with K-State baseball know that Brad Hill is a good coach.

I agree with them. In fact, I’d go so far as to say Hill is the best thing to happen to K-State baseball in the pro-gram’s history.

Yes, the baseball team has had success in the past, but never at this level. While Bill Snyder and Frank Mar-tin were hired (or rehired) to recreate the glory days of past dynasties, Hill was brought in to create them from nothing.

Not surprisingly, he’s suc-ceeded. Hill has built the program up to a level of sus-tainability and created a cul-ture of winning that has not been seen with the K-State baseball program.

Last season, the team made the NCAA tournament and nearly upset the top-seeded host-school, Rice.

The team surprised most people, mainly because of the talented pitching that seemed to come out of no-where. With ace A.J. Morris gone to the pros, and sever-al graduating seniors moving on, it was expected that Hill would struggle to improve on that season.

After watching the K-State baseball team sweep the Baylor Bears this weekend, I came to the realization that this team is not just the left-overs of a fluke run to the NCAA’s last season.

Not that I really thought that before the Baylor se-ries, but in my mind, there was still some doubt as to whether this group of Wild-cats could achieve as much as last year’s squad. And ulti-mately, it’s possible that they won’t.

However, the Wildcats beat Baylor in a surprising way. A matchup between the Big 12 Conference’s top-two hitting teams, the Wild-cats didn’t just swing for the fence and hope to out hit the Bears. They did it with pitch-ing.

The K-State pitching staff allowed just six runs all weekend, limiting Baylor’s hits and keeping runs off the board. It was a good thing too, because the Wildcat bat-ters took the weekend off, scoring well below their av-erage of 8.3 runs per game.

To have success in the postseason, you have to have a balance of pitching and run support. Coming into the season, pitching was a major question mark for the team, and so far, the staff has pitched well. They haven’t been perfect, and with K-State’s offensive output, there has been some room for error, but they’ve gotten the job done.

Hill has taught this team that winning is everything, and the Wildcats have bought in. In Sunday’s series finale, the Wildcats scored their first run on a bunt squeeze play by Carter Juri-ca. The run scored and Ju-rica reached first with his bunt, executing perfectly and unselfishly.

This is hardly the expect-ed play from a guy who bats third in the lineup and leads the team in homeruns and slugging percentage.

I’m not saying the Wild-cats will win the Big 12, or get to host an NCAA region-al this season. However, if they can keep competing as a team like they have so far, there’s no reason they won’t make it to their second con-secutive regional. From there, who knows? Teams with this much offense are hard to beat without top-notch pitch-ing. If the Wildcat pitch-ing staff could pitch as well as they did this weekend, K-State would be a tough tour-nament draw for anybody in the country.

The Wildcat Equestrian team came within one victory of giving K-State its first-ever national athletic cham-pionship, but fell 6-2 to Texas A&M in the western portion of the Varsity Equestrian National Championships on Saturday in Waco, Texas.

Entering the tournament as the No. 6 seed, K-State advanced to the finals against the Aggies by knock-ing off No. 11 Delaware State, No. 3 Oklahoma State and No. 10 South Carolina.

Despite upsetting the Cowgirls in the second round and receiving help from the Gamecocks, who shocked second-seeded Auburn, head coach Casie Lisabeth said reaching the ti-tle game didn’t come as a shock, thanks to the experience the Wild-cats brought to the table.

“I don’t think we were surprised,” Lisabeth said. “We were just kind of hoping we’d peak at the right time. We felt like, with the way the spring semester went, that we would peak at the right time. I was really confident in the fact that we had seven seniors

playing out of the eight members to compete over the weekend.”

After falling into an early 4-0 hole, K-State mounted a comeback behind the leadership of two senior riders. Tara Hallan outrode Texas A&M’s Maggie Gratny to grab a 141-139.5 decision. Morgan Campbell followed suit, defeating Randi Stanly by a score of 146-143.

“It was just really stellar perfor-mances by both of them,” Lisabeth said. “They both had really good horses that they could go out and show and really perform well on.”

Unfortunately, the Aggies scored the final two points to clinch the win. Although the match didn’t end like K-State would have hoped, Lisabeth said she was extremely happy with the team’s performance. “For the most part, I couldn’t have asked for them to ride any better than they did,” she said. “[This season] has been a blast. It’s been a really big learning experi-ence for all of us. We made some mis-takes together and we definitely hit the high notes together as well.”

The Wildcats finish the 2009-10 campaign with a 10-8 overall record.

For writers who are looking to show their stuff, “They Only Come Out at Night” may be the break they need.

In addition to sharing their work, writ-ers will have the opportunity to compete for prizes, meet other talented individu-als and contribute to a local cause.

“People should enter because it’s a good way to get feedback on their work, and just to get more exposure as writers in the community,” said Alyssa Dawson, graduate student in English and poetry judge for the event. “That’s the first step, if you want to go on to write profession-ally.”

Writers have the opportunity to enter three categories: poetry, prose and free-style. Henry Bartel, 2007 alumnus and

organizer of the event, said there was confusion last year over what “freestyle” means, so he said he wanted to set every-one straight.

“Freestyle basically means anything ex-cept poetry or prose, so that could be a song, that could be a dance, that could be rap or ‘freeflow,’ that could be a dramat-ic performance,” Bartel said. “Last year, there was a girl who impersonated her-self at age 6.”

Bartel said each of the three judges will select contestants based on basic quali-ties such as creativity and originality, as well as other qualities pertaining to their style of work.

“I’ll look for things that are unique, things that are said in a way that no-body’s ever said them before,” Dawson said. “I’ll be looking for strong language,

and I’ll be looking for a connection to the audience.”

First place in each category receives $30, second place receives $20 and third place receives $10. Writers are allowed to audition in any or all categories, so if a competitor wins all three categories, he or she could go home with $90.

Entrants pay a one-time $5 audition fee that covers as many pieces as they want to audition. All proceeds from the audi-tion fees and the event will support a lo-cal cause called Project: Self-Esteem.

Project: Self-Esteem is a month-long program that uses mentoring relation-ships and workshops to counter negative beauty and body image concepts.

Sara Siders, coordinator of Project: Self-Esteem, said although the program is aimed at girls ages 9 to 18, self-esteem

touches every person. “There’s a lot of K-State students that

would say, ‘I wish there was somebody who had addressed this issue with me in-stead of dealing with it now,’” Siders said. “We’re trying to deal with this in a pre-ventative way by introducing girls to true beauty.”

To support Project: Self-Esteem, or to simply gain exposure and compete for prize money, audition on Wednesday from 5 to 8 p.m. in the conference room of Radina’s Coffeehouse & Roastery in Aggieville.

Selected writers will compete at “They Only Come Out at Night” on Friday at 8 p.m. at the Dusty Bookshelf in Aggieville. For more information on the event, watch for Thursday’s article in the K-State Col-legian.

Save the DateI spend more time than I would

like to admit getting ready to go out on a date. I fuss over every detail. I mix, match, try on and take off more clothes than I knew I had. I take many aspects into ac-count. But I always make sure my

clothes go well with the type of date.

Dates are supposed to be fun. So, dress for the date!

CLASSIC DINNER-AND-A-MOvIE COMBINATION:

I like to think of the clas-sic dinner and movie duo as a great, simple way to start getting to know someone, but it is also a fun way to ex-plore outfit choices. Dinner and a movie doesn’t have to be fancy or even a first date, but finding clothes that make you comfortable

is what counts. If this is a first date,

make sure you ask about the restau-rant. Not to be rude, but being under-

dressed is more of an issue than being too curious about food. One great first-date out-fit is a top and t a i l o r e d

jeans. D a r k ,

w e l l - f i t t i n g jeans can real-

ly make an im-pressive statement. When trying jeans on, check for length and fit around the waist. Jeans that are too tight are a sure way to feel both mentally and physically uncomfortable. Dark jeans create a long, slim leg effect. Also, dark bottoms allow for a more expressive top selection.

Since summer is just around the corner, picking a col-ored top is a fun, simple way to show off your personali-ty. Think about colors that are flattering with your skin tone. I can’t wear yellow or orange. I tried and I failed. Miserably.

Look for tops that create a hap-py medium in your outfit. Ruffles, sequins, bows and polka dots are fabulous and make for a fun shirt. But all of that, on one person, is a lot for anyone to process. Pick one and play it up. If you have a bow on your shirt, find a fun bracelet with a

crystal bow or shoes with a bow on the toe. Guys, I have similar advice for you. One giant

pet peeve of mine is when a guy is dressed real-ly well and his jeans are destroyed. Rips, tears and bleach stains make jeans unique, but keep those jeans for another date. Again, dark and tai-lored is the way to go. Keep polo shirts and but-ton-down shirts clean and pressed. Please, wear socks. They are a must on a date, unless you are in the water.

SOMETHING UNIqUE: One date I have always loved is picnics. I like

to be outside, and picnics are great this time of year. When the weather is right for picnics, the weather is right for sundresses.

Sundresses are a staple for any closet. You can wear them longer during the year than most oth-er items. Floral or plain, short or long, sundress-es are a lot of fun.

This summer, with “western” style being the newest thing, paring a great floral sundress with cute boots make a simple, clean combination. Add a big, chunky bracelet and some hoop ear-rings to solidify the look. Keep makeup simple and fresh for an outdoor date.

If the date is more adventurous than a picnic, it would be a time to go a bit

more relaxed. Think about olive green shorts, black ribbed tank top and some walking boots or clean tennis shoes.

When it comes to these kinds of dates, guys, things can be a bit more relaxed for you too. Look at plain T-

shirts and jeans. If you want to wear a baseball cap, go for it. Show-

ing little details about your-self are good conversation

starters. Sandals are an acceptable shoe for a

picnic. Try to stay away

from pool sandals and flip flops, even though an outdoor setting

is more relaxed. Unless the date

is near water, those types of sandals are not

necessary. If you do go on an adventure date, stay with comfortable walking shorts and tennis shoes.

There are always great out-

fits for all different kinds of dates, but keep in mind where

you are going and what fits well. Dark jeans are a must, unless jeans will make the outfit under-dressed. The more comfortable you are in your outfit, the more relaxed you will be.

right clothes key to fighting nerves

As summer fast approaches (or some might think that it’s already here!) and we all start making plans of summer jobs, vaca-tions, relationships, etc. Don’t forget about your basic fashion needs. To help with this I have conjured a list of some of your fash-ion basics that I hope you don’t forget.

Shoes: A good pair of sandals/flip-flops is always a must. For men you may want to have a pair of Reef Fanning sandals, espe-cially if you plan on going to Country Stam-

pede. Gals, for something different than the usual flip-flops try a pair of gladiator san-dals. These come in many different styles and colors; it’s also easy to dress them ei-ther up or down.

Shorts: It’s summer, why wouldn’t you be wearing shorts? If you have not noticed guys, denim shorts really aren’t the “thing” anymore. You are better off with wearing a pair of cargo or khaki-type shorts. Now for the gals, you can never go wrong with a good, well-fitted pair of denim shorts. Find a pair that are not only comfortable, but fit and look great and then rock them out!

Tops: For both guys and gals, you want to make sure your tops are lightweight and probably light-colored to help keep you cool. Also, keep in mind a shirt that you can make versatile and wear both day and evening. With guys, either a simple plain tee or a tee with your favorite band would work great. Also a bright-colored polo al-ways looks nice too. Gals you have many options. You can choose from tanks that you can layer and mix and match, flowing,

sheer-like tops or even sundresses. Also, anything that can go from a swimsuit cov-er up to a daytime casual top is always a plus.

Swimsuit: I would hope that since it is summer-time you would get yourself out to either the pool or the lake at some point or another. So when you do, you not only want to be showing off your amazing body, but your swimsuit as well. Guys, un-like girls, you really don’t have much of a choice when it comes to swim wear. You have your basic swim trunks and that’s it (sorry!).

However, it is always nice to see you wearing swimming trunks with unique, bright colors and some interesting design. Gals, there are hundreds of different styles of bathing suits out there for us. Just keep in mind when purchasing one, what you will be using it for and making sure that it’s practical. Also, make sure that it fits your body type too. Sorry to say it, but no one likes a girl that does nothing but complain about how overweight she is and then goes

and shows it all off by wearing a bikini in-stead of a tankini or one piece.

Hats: During the summer hats can serve for a few reasons other than just being fash-ionable. They are a great way to help keep rain off if Mother Nature decides to act up, or when the sun is blistering hot, it’s a great way to help keep the sun off your face. For the guys, your everyday baseball cap will do just fine. Gals, again you have sever-al options you can choose from. There are the cute and adorable, when worn proper-ly, military-styled and paper boy hats, sun hats, and if you want more of a sporty look you too can just go with the classic base-ball cap.

Sunglasses: It doesn’t matter if you are male or female, find a pair of sunglasses that you like and look great. Just remem-ber to make sure they have a high UV pro-tection.

An abrupt left turn resulted in two people being transported to the hospi-tal, said Lt. Herbert Crosby Jr. of the RCPD.

Crosby said the accident happened around 6:30 on the evening of April 17, when David Thornton, 22, was head-ing east on Kimball Road. Apparently, Thornoton nearly missed his left turn and made a quick decision to complete the turn when his car collided with the car of Colleen Hill, 53, who was travel-ing west-bound on Kimball.

Hill and her passenger, James Hill, 56, were both transported to Mercy Re-gional Health Center due to bruising

caused by airbag deployment. Thornton was given a citation for an improper left turn and failure to yield at a left turn.

vEHICLE DAMAGED OvER WEEKENDSomeone dragging an object down

the side of a vehicle caused over $1,000 worth of damage over the weekend, ac-cording to a report from the RCPD.

Crosby said a 2009 Toyota Corol-la, belonging to Joshua Runyan, 23, was reported damaged around 10 p.m. on April 16. The vehicle was parked at 3108 Heritage Court, when the passen-ger side of the vehicle was scratched by an unknown object.

The incident caused $1,500 worth of damage to the vehicle.

SHOUT-OUT

Coffee Hour, which was on Colombia, delight-ed Sara Thurston-González, director of interna-tional student and scholar services.

“I ended up meeting with them for about 15-20 minutes and just talked about the role of Inter-national Student and Scholar Services on campus and the programs and events we have,” Thurston-González said. “I had a lovely time with them. They were all so sweet and excited to be here.”

Already, the Paraguayan students have pre-sented to a grade school and a retirement home with a history teacher. On Wednesday, April 14, they went to Topeka and this past Saturday and Sunday, Gill said they went to Kansas City to Worlds of Fun, The Negro League Baseball Mu-seum, the Jazz Museum and other places around town.

Despite all the fun it appears the students will enjoy, they are still working and learning in the classroom. Gill’s Spanish 2 class is working with them to create a children’s book, accomplishing the task of utilizing both languages to communi-cate and get the job done.

Gill said she helps them to increase literacy by getting books into the hands of children and learning how to read to children because that, in turn, aids them with their education.

This exchange student program is very en-riching, Gill said, for her students.

“The Paraguayans are ambassadors to us, but we are as well to them,” she said. “And not ev-eryone can have an international student experi-ence, but this way, both sides kind of do.”
