As a member of the Manhat- tan-Ogden Board of Education, Colburn talks to many people, but not many of them know about the Northwest Territories Act and the section-township-county divi- sions. While not everybody needs that knowledge, somebody does, and others need to know about other topics, Colburn explained during a K-State journalism class on March 1. “You can’t teach all of it to ev- erybody, but by allowing teachers to follow their interests and follow their passions, this group of kids would learn about this, this group of kids would learn about that, another group would learn about something else, and you’d have all this knowledge and informa- tion disseminated throughout the population,” he said. However, with the standard- ized testing mandated by the El- ementary and Secondary Educa- tion Act – more widely known as No Child Leſt Behind – that kind of teaching is becoming more and more scarce as school districts and teachers focus on test mate- rial to make sure they comply with the requirements of having students at a proficient level. Susan Marshall, president of the local school board and a math teacher at Fort Riley Middle School, said the assessments create mostly negative pressure on teachers. e stress trickles down, from administrators to teachers to students, who can tell their teachers are worried and know if they do poorly on the test they will be designated for extra help. Extra help is good as far as furthering learning but can be difficult for students in a social sense, as they can be put into tu- toring or additional classes. Marshall also brought up the same point with which Colburn began. “What happens when you’re dealing with this state assessment, when you know kind of what they have to know and you’re trying to reach that one level, everything gets pushed to learning that par- ticular stuff.” she said, “And it just takes the fun out of learning. You can’t do all the fun things that help. You have to make sure that every last person knows every last thing.” Brad Burenheide, assistant professor in curriculum and in- struction, said demonstrating im- provement in individual students is more important than having every single student get a cer- tain grade on a test. He recalled a teacher from a conference he at- tended mentioning that, unlike in other occupations, teachers have to work with each student who comes to school and help him or her achieve as much as possible, extenuating circumstances not- withstanding. “What about a kid that doesn’t know where his next meal is coming from? What about a kid that can’t speak English,” Buren- heide said. “We can’t just dispose Teachers: NCLB deters diversity A reduction in state funding means more Wednesday High: 68 F Low: 49 F unkak ff writer ve Colburn was a school, he took an ry class, and his nsively studied erritories Act. ation detailed ddle section uld be di- expanded ountains ps and erest- got o. t- Musical offers different type of humor Avenue Q entertains audience in McCain Auditorium A cast member from Avenue Q performs “It Sucks to Be Me” at Broadway on Broadway, September 10th 2006. courtesy Michael Schamis NCLB | pg. 10 Ashley Dunkak senior staff writer As the national economy has suffered, so has education. Kansas has not been exempt from this phenomenon, as education funding from the state recently took a $50 mil- lion hit. For the Manhattan- Ogden School District, that means $75 less to spend on each student this year – roughly a 2 percent cut. e proposal for next year is worse: $232 less per student, a 6 per- cent drop from the current figure of $4,012. To accom- modate these changes, the Man- hattan- Ogden Board of Education is dipping into savings and delving deeper into the list of services that could be cut. Susan Marshall, president of the board and a math teacher at Fort Riley Middle School of USD 475, said the process of cutting becomes complicated because the funding windows of the state and the school district are offset; the school district sets its budget in July, while the state deals with its budget in January. Being told there is less money than originally planned for the current fiscal year when only three months remain in that time frame can cause problems, but the school board has been trimming the budget for a while now. “What we’re doing in Man- hattan, is we know that these cuts keep coming, and so we’ve been cutting for the past two years,” Marshall said. “ank- fully, the past couple years we’ve gotten cut, but it hasn’t ever been quite as deep as they say it’s going to be.” Still, the reductions have been significant. For this cur- rent year and next year, the board made the school year four days shorter. Because minutes were added to all the other school days, students will receive the same amount of class time, but four fewer days of school means four fewer days of the costs of trans- portation, food services and electricity associated with a school day. According to the school board’s March 16 ad- ditional background informa- tion packet, the savings for that alone is $80,000. Also, the district has virtu- ally eliminated summer school, with the exception of fee-based classes like driver’s education and credit recovery for high school students who are not on track to graduate on time. Mar- shall said the fees for those pro- grams offset the costs of them; that is why those summer op- portunities remain available. Marshall said the district used to do a fully-fledged summer school for elementary students. Some students were required to come because they needed extra help in certain areas, but any student could partici- pate. But at a cost of $75,000, the program is no longer one that can be fi- nanced. “We just pretty much cut that out because we can’t afford to do it and that’s hurting the kids. When you get out in May and you don’t go back until August, that’s a big gap, and if you kind of keep them on target, then they won’t slip as much through the summer. We’ve really had to rethink programs and things that we’re doing, and that’s all it’s hurting, is the kids,” Marshall said. e district is also clos- ing school buildings in the summer to dodge payments for electricity, air conditioning and other utilities – a savings of $40,000. Overload, teaching more classes than specified in a normal contract, and over- time by teachers are also being phased out in the interest of ef- ficiency and expense. In the March 2 budget pre- sentation on the school board website, three contributing fac- tors are cited in relation to the state’s need to cut funding. First of all, property values across the state fell this year, which meant the state generat- ed less revenue from property tax than it usually does. Ac- cordingly, that put constraints on the budget. Secondly, the state gives school districts additional funding for every “at risk” stu- dent enrolled. Because of the state of the economy and the financial stress it has put on families, more students fall into that “at risk” category, so the state is giving out more money in that re- spect. Because the amount of money dedicat- ed to that seg- ment of the ed- ucation budget is increasing, the amount of money in the rest of the educa- tion budget is decreasing. Lastly, the money the fed- eral government passed along in the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act (ARRA) of 2009 came with a stipulation that it be used for new pro- grams. Among other purposes, the district used this money to hire eight more math teachers. e federal money funding their salaries, however, runs out at the end of the year, so “What we’re doing in Manhattan, is we know that these cuts keep coming, and so we’ve been cutting for the past two years.” Susan Marshall President of Manhattan- Ogden Board of Education ‘10-’11 school year: BUDGET CUTS CUTS FOR SCHOOLS 2% cut ($75 less per student) ‘11-’12 school year: 6% cut ($232 less per student) CUTS | pg. 10 Graphic by Caitlin Wetherilt

“Avenue Q” performed Sunday to an appreciative audience. Th e performance included puppets as well as human characters, while also dealing with themes like drinking and sex in a raunchy, but funny way.

Todd Holmberg, executive di-rector of McCain, said the musi-cal was a good choice to play at K-State.

“Th e demographic is perfect for the college student and it is also the funniest show I have ever seen,” Holmberg said. “It is very innova-tive in its use of puppets interact-ing with humans. So it’s really just a smart and entertaining show.”

A couple of the main characters were puppets, but the show also had “Bad Idea Bears” whenever the

characters were about to make a bad choice.

For example, the “Bears” con-vince two of the puppets to have sex, which they do loudly and in multiple positions.

Televisions were also mounted on either side of the stage, and they would play short clips that would represent the characters refl ections on words like “purpose” and “pro-pose.”

Casey Dwyer, junior in public relations, said he was glad he had the opportunity to see “Avenue Q.”

“I’ve heard it’s a really funny show. I have several friends on UPC who said it would be really good,” Dwyer said. “It was highly recommended and it’s good timing on a Sunday aft ernoon. Th is was the fi rst time I’d heard of it, but I watched some videos on YouTube.”

Some of the songs that got a bigger reaction from the audience include “if you were gay,” which has lines like “if you were queer I’d still be here” in it, as well as “the

Internet is for porn,” which is sung aft er a character decides she wants to teach children about the Inter-net.

Th ere was even a Gary Coleman character in the musical amused the audience with lines like “if you rearrange the letters in unem-ployed it spells opportunity,” and “I’m scared I’ve already achieved my damn purpose.”

Several of the characters were “Monsters” which in the play became a talking point in the song “Everyone’s a Little Bit Racist” at the end of which several characters argue about the race of Jesus.

Sandi Lamstaff writer

April 1st takes the cake for the most foolish day of the year. From the classic, perfectly placed whoopie cushion to elaborate pranks, the holiday is jam-packed with good-natured deceit.

Will Fisher, sophomore in inte-rior design, experienced the spirit of the holiday in full force. He said he began his day by switch-ing all of his roommate’s drawers around, but he did not stop there.

“My roommate has always talked about putting a futon in my bed so I decided to do it to him fi rst,” Fisher said.

Let the confusion for his poor roommate ensue.

Fisher took the pranks to the parking lot by wrapping another

friend’s car with cling wrap. While he claimed none of his pranked victims got angry, his friends col-laborated and decided to turn the prank tables on him.

“My friends hung all of my stuff from the ceiling and tried to give me a meatloaf disguised as a cupcake but I could smell it,” Fisher said.

While there is no fooling him, he said he gave his friends some credit for the eff ort.

“Th ey even put green colored mashed potatoes on top.”

For others, April Fools Day was a sweet day, complete with pleasant surprises.

Kaitlin Arrow, junior in mar-keting and management, sur-prised her mom by going home.

“I called her and said I was just getting home from classes when

I was walking in the garage and into the house,” Arrow said.

She said her mom was success-fully tricked into thinking some-one else had gotten home.

“She was shocked and gave me a big hug and said that I am ridiculous,” Arrow said.

But even parents, who have had more experience perfecting the holiday, pulled pranks this past April Fools.

Erin Hurd, junior in interior architecture, said her mom pulls a prank year aft er year.

“Every year she makes cookies that are actually made of cotton balls,” she said.

Laurel Johnston, junior in ar-chitecture, also has a prankster for a parent.

“My mom brings a container to work and tells people to help

themselves to brownies,” Johnston said. “When they go to get some, there are just brown cardboard letter E’s.”

While there are some who get invested in the holiday, others prefer to stick to small pranks.

Blair Wilen, freshman in mar-keting, said, “My friend got ‘en-gaged’ and my girlfriend and I ‘broke up.’”

Since this prank happened on Facebook, the whole cyber world probably bought into it.

Al Orellana, junior in fi nance, said, “I only got fake texts from my brother that my mom died. Not really that interesting.”

Whether the day consisted of full-fl edged pranks or just the one-liner lie, the day was un-doubtedly spent in good-natured fun.

March Madness has provided yet another exciting year. Sure, Wisconsin gave the Wildcats an upset, but we also witnessed VCU’s defeat over Kansas shortly aft er. It’s defi nitely a tournament worth celebrating and that needs to be kept in mind tonight during the championship game. Here is a list of tonight’s necessities to guar-antee a good time.

You will need:

A crowded sports barWhile it’s not every night that

a crowded sports bar is a desired

location, immersing yourself in the game-watching atmosphere can really make for an experience. Th ere are countless options, in-cluding Buff alo Wild Wings, Tub-by’s Sports Bar and Kite’s Grille and Bar — to name a few. If not a crowded sports bar, a crowded house with plenty of sports fans will suffi ce.

A team to root forNo matter the game, sports are

more interesting to watch when you want a specifi c team to win. Make a bet over who buys the round of drinks or dinner based on the winner. Th at will be sure to keep your interest in the game.

Food and drinks

Maybe not in that particular order, but having food to munch on and drinks to sip are essential for any social gathering. If you and a few friends pitch in money for hand-made guacamole, you won’t need to give in to those Taco Bell commercials. Th e same applies to the Bud Light commercials.

A blank to-do listObviously, you can’t have too

many things to do when the game is on. Making a to-do list early in the aft ernoon can help you fi nish your daily tasks sooner, which in turn will allow full attention to be on the game. Homework would

be included on this list.

People to watch it withUnless you truly appreciate

alone time, watching the game with friends is a sure way to have a good time. No matter the loca-tion, if you surround yourself with friends for the championship game, you are set.

No matter if you’re T-shirt says “Butler” or “UConn,” make sure to take advantage of all the good times this tournament has to off er. Th e championship game provides the fi nal “hoorah” of a bracket-ru-ining tournament that broke, then mended, all of our hearts – and that is something to be celebrated.

Everyone is familiar with elementary school crushes. Only in movies do those cute fl irtatious encounters blos-som into anything, right? A happily engaged couple has proved that to be false. In the case of David Renberg, sophomore in business en-trepreneurship, and Nikki Hall, junior in elementary education, love was found on a playground in third grade in Paola, Kansas.

Nikki said, “I wrote in my diary that I was in love with him.”

Th ere was an immediate attraction; in the same diary entry, she noted that she liked his spiked hair. For a while, life continued and the pair stayed around each other through classes and mutual friends.

David’s reciprocation of the romantic interest came a few years later during their freshman year of high school.

“We were lab partners in biology,” David said, remem-bering how he fi rst got to know Nikki and fell for her.

But all good things take time, and the relationship did not get started until junior year of high school.

Junior year is when Nikki played the role of prom presi-

dent and David was selling kettle corn as a fundraising job for the event. Th rough the time that they spent to-gether that day, the two rec-ognized their interests in each other and David mus-tered up the courage to ask for her phone number. Th e fi rst date included ice-skating followed by dinner at Olive Garden. Countless dates took place aft er that.

As for tying the knot? “It always seemed as-

sumed. Neither one of us were going to go into a dating relationship without serious intentions,” David said.

Nikki added she thought it was always meant to be.

“I told my best friend a month aft er we were dating, that we were going to get married.”

In the fall of 2010, David popped the question during a night he had planned out perfectly.

Nikki had a twine anklet that had a knot in it, and whenever the knot broke off , the wearer is supposed to make a wish that would then come true.

“Th e knot broke off during senior year of high school and Nikki wished that we would get married,” David said.

He saved the twine anklet and on the night of the pro-

posal, he looped the ring on it. Taking Nikki to her favorite restaurant, and the place of their fi rst date, they ate dinner at Olive Garden. Aft erward, David told Nikki to close her eyes and as he walked her outside, he began reminding her of the twine anklet and the wish she had made. He knelt down to ask for her hand in marriage, and she said yes.

And the surprises will seemingly continue even aft er the wedding.

“(Th e honeymoon is) top secret for me. Dave is plan-ning a surprise,” Nikki said.

Th e kettle corn company, being credited for bringing the two closer together, is providing the couple with bags of kettle corn with their love story on them as wed-ding favors.

As for his future with Nikki, David said, “We don’t really have plans but with God as our foundation, we cannot fail.”

Playgrounds, kettle corn and Olive Garden have become just three of the things that have united the couple. Nikki and David said they make everyday things meaningful through their love and enjoyment of each other. Aft er June 25, they will continue to do so as David and Nikki Renberg.

Apple ‘fanboy’ label unjustifi ed, has negative meaning

“A puppet version of Willie the Wildcat.”

Jared Brown

SENIOR IN MARKETING

Fanboys saved Apple from near-bankruptcy. Fan-boys have driven

Apple stock up from $55 in July 2006 to it’s current price of

$352, but somehow the term “fanboy” carries a negative

meaning.

For a Nobel Peace Prize winner, Barack Obama sure has killed a lot of people. Th e president has sent troops to Af-ghanistan, launched drone strikes in Pakistan, and actively maintained the oc-cupation of Iraq he promised to end.

Obama’s endless, aimless wars have cost hundreds of American lives and obliterated thou-sands of civilians. His obscene military budget, the largest since Word War II, has left beleaguered taxpayers with a debt greater than every other president in history com-bined.

Now, as the US spends up-wards of $1 billion fi ghting Opera-tion Odyssey Dawn in Libya, Obama has become the fi rst Nobel Peace Prize winner to fi re cruise missiles. Why did he win that prize again?

In his defense, Obama actually told us that he believed in launching unprovoked wars as he was accept-ing the peace prize. Appar-ently the Nobel Committee didn’t have a problem with that. I guess if you worship someone enough to give them a prize for no reason, you’ll overlook anything.

Th e US should not be in Libya. Th e job of American soldiers is to protect America, not needlessly risk their lives babysitting the entire world. Resolving confl icts on the other side of the planet is not the legal responsibility of American taxpayers. Odyssey Dawn, an unnecessary police action against a nation that posed no threat to the United States, is both unconstitutional and an impeachable off ense.

Don’t take it from me; ask the Obama-Biden ticket. In a Dec. 20, 2007, interview with the Boston Globe, Obama, a constitutional scholar, explained that “the presi-dent does not have power under the Constitution to unilaterally authorize a military attack in a situation that does not involve stopping an actual or imminent

threat to the nation.”Appearing on MSNBC Dec.

3, 2007, Joe Biden said “Th e President has no constitutional authority to take this nation to war against a country of 70 million people unless we’re attacked, or unless there is proof that we are about to be attacked. If he does, I would move to impeach him.”

Despite Obama’s promise that “We are not going to use force to go beyond a well-defi ned goal, specifi cally, the protection of civilians in Libya,” missile attacks have been directed at Tripoli and Qaddafi ’s compound, according to a March 20 CNN article. Odyssey Dawn doesn’t stop at merely en-forcing a “no-fl y zone.” Th e US has already attacked so many ground targets in Libya that Arab League chief Amr Moussa has accused America of the “bombardment of civilians,” according to a March 21 Arab News article.

Although the administration has painted the operation as an

international eff ort, the US has fi red most of the cruise missiles that have hit Libya. Germany, Brazil, Russia, India, and China have all opted not to take part in the attack. In a March 19 CNN interview, Vice Admiral William Gortney referred to “Tomahawk cruise missiles fi red from both U.S. and British ships and subma-rines” before later admitting that only “one British submarine” had helped with his eff orts. If history is any indicator, when a war is sold to the public as an international eff ort, we can expect America to end up bearing the brunt of the burden.

Einstein said “Th e defi nition of insanity is doing the same thing over and over and expecting diff er-ent results.” Aft er watching point-less interventions fail and backfi re from Vietnam to Iraq, it should be apparent that military action in Libya is insane. How many countries do we have to needlessly invade before we realize that doing

so does nothing more than gener-ate hatred and recruit terrorists?

In the 1930s, American civilians who were passionate about the Spanish Civil War volunteered to travel to Spain and fi ght, calling themselves the Abraham Lin-coln Brigade. Today, proponents of intervention in Libya would rather send someone else’s son or daughter to die while they watch it on MSNBC.

If the fi ght against Qaddafi is important to you, do something about it yourself rather than expending the men and women who’ve volunteered to protect you. At the very least, donate your own money instead of expecting the rest of the country to pay for it. If, on the other hand, you continue to support Obama unconditionally, please take that peace sign bumper sticker off your car.

Many people probably remember the famous Mac versus PC commer-cials that ran for a few years. Th ey were part of Apple’s “Get a Mac” advertising campaign. Long before these com-mercials began running in 2006, Apple users were labeled as “fanboys,” both in real life and on online message boards.

But these commercials seemed to have added fuel to the name-calling. Now it seems that if you so much as mention that you like an Apple product, you are likely to be labeled a fanboy. In particular, the label seems to be used most on those people who own more than one Apple device. But is it wrong to be fanboy if the products are good?

Take the iPad, for example. IDC, research fi rm, claims Apple holds 73 percent of the tablet market share. Another report released on March 10 by ChangeWave Research revealed 82 percent of 3,091 customers surveyed said they planned to buy the iPad. Are all of those people Apple fanboys?

Th ere are those who would rather criticize Apple’s business practices, particularly when it comes to mobile products. Perhaps the most common argument against iOS, Apple’s mobile

device operating system, is that Apple’s App Store is a “walled garden,” mean-ing Apple dictates what is available to users. But is that such a bad thing? Evidently not as developers have created over 350,000 apps with over 60,000 of those created specifi cally for the iPad, according to a Jan. 22 Apple press release. Over 10 billion apps have been downloaded, so far.

Th ose numbers are staggering especially when com-pared to the com-petition, or lack of competition. During a keynote address, Google CEO Eric Schmidt revealed that the Android Market has over 150,000 apps, but unlike most apps in the Apple App Store, not all Android apps are compatible with all Android phones. Many anti-Apple people will quickly point out that Android is an “open” platform, inviting all developers and manufacturers to shape it. Android’s openness is not a good thing, however.

With manufacturers such as HTC and Motorola selling Android phones with their own user interfaces, app developers have to cater to each user interface. Apple also has an advantage because they control the release of operating system updates. But with Android, updates are released by the individual cellular providers or manufacturers. All too oft en, the latest

update is not released until weeks or sometimes months aft er Google makes it available. Th is leaves a huge fragmentation in the Android market share with large portions of users running one version of Android while others run another version, and a third set of users run yet another version of the system.

Also in the arena, Research in Motion (RIM) is appar-ently trying to release it’s Blackberry Playbook tablet. I use the word “apparently” because it’s not entirely evident what they are doing. RIM used to be a smartphone champion until it got behind the times. Now they are making a laugh-able mess out of their Playbook launch. Th ey have held three product announcements for the Playbook. Normally this wouldn’t be so ter-

rible, but RIM hasn’t shipped a single Playbook. Rumor has it they will be coming out the fi rst week of April, but RIM has been running commercials and announcing new versions for months. And still, no product. What’s more, the development program for the Playbook costs twice as much as Apple’s development program and is a huge mess to even get to a point where a developer can begin constructing an app.

Going to the computer aspect of Apple’s business, choosing a Mac only invites

the fanboy insult because the major-ity of people choose PC. From both a customer standpoint and developer standpoint, buying Apple products is just logical. Apple is the hot technol-ogy company right now and they’ve brought their success with the Mac to the mobile arena.

Fanboys saved Apple from near-bankruptcy. Fanboys have driven Apple stock up from $55 in July 2006 to it’s current price of $352, but somehow the term “fanboy” carries a negative mean-ing. I don’t see Mac users calling PC users “fanboys” for owning a computer equipped with Windows, or Android users for choosing Google.

Am I fanboy for typing this on a Macbook with my iPhone sitting beside me? Maybe I am. But if I am, there are valid reasons and I don’t believe it is a bad thing.

Ellyn Elson has been called a hospitality industry dynamo. Add to that moni-kers such as creator of a mul-timillion-dollar food and nutrition software systems company, registered dieti-tian, passionate promoter of sustainability and author.

Elson will be at K-State on Wednesday, April 6, to present the 37th Grace M. Shugart Lecture, “A Road Less Traveled,” at 1:30 p.m. in Forum Hall in the K-State Student Union. It’s spon-sored by the department of hospitality management and dietetics in the College of Human Ecology and is open to the public.

“I’ll speak to the opportu-nities that were available to me as a registered dietitian,” she said. “I always took a dif-ferent path but in the end discovered many ways in which my profession helped me to become very success-ful. I will also discuss the power of networking with professional colleagues and involvement in professional associations.”

Elson lives in California and is founder and former owner of Computrition, named one of the nation’s top 500 woman-owned busi-nesses by DiversityBusiness.com. The business specializ-es in food service and nutri-tion management software for the hospitality and health care industries worldwide.

One of her current en-deavors is FocusGreen LLC,

a business “committed to assisting others so that they may live and work in sus-tainable environments that provide the highest degree of efficiency and personal satisfaction,” Elson said. She also has Destination for Life LLC and Simply Chic Pro-ductions LLC.

An expert in the area of innovative systems and cre-ative management approach-es to the dietetics profession, Elson speaks widely on the use of marketing and moti-vating teams to ensure maxi-mum efficiency while having fun in the workplace.

Elson was the first woman to be honored with the In-ternational Food Service Executives Association’s In-dustry Award of Excellence for significant contributions as an industry leader.

She served as the presi-dent of the American Di-etetic Association Founda-tion and on the foundation’s board of directors from 1992 to 1993.

In 2006 she, along with her co-author Ken Wasco, published “Live Like You Mean It, “ a best-selling mo-

tivational road map to a hap-pier life.

“The fact that we have hosted this lecture series for 37 years is a tribute to the lasting legacy of Grace Shugart. As our department head for more than 20 years, she set the tone for excel-lence and professionalism that we strive to maintain to this day,” said Deborah D. Canter, professor of dietet-ics.

“Ellyn Elson joins a long line of distinguished indus-try leaders as she comes to speak to our students, facul-ty and friends,” Canter said. “Ellyn is the classic ‘mover and shaker’ and an entrepre-neur of the first order. We’re delighted to have her on campus to inspire all of us to new heights.”

The Grace M. Shugart Lecture Series brings dieti-tians and food service and hospitality experts to K-State for the enrichment of student curricula and to pro-vide continuing education for practitioners in the field. Established in 1975, the lec-ture series honors the late Shugart, former department head and co-author of “Food for Fifty” and “Food Ser-vice in Institutions.” Shugart helped build the profession of dietetics and institutional management throughout the United States, serving as president of the American Dietetic Association. She also was a Medallion Award winner and received the Marjorie Hulsizer Copher Award, the American Di-etetic Association’s highest honor.

For Peter Magyar, professor and head of K-State’s department of architecture, the journey to become an architect was any-thing but planned.

Th at’s partially why an upcom-ing ceremony, where he will be the fi rst-ever recipient of the Pro Architectura Hungarica medal from the Association of Hungar-ian Architects, is so meaningful.

“Th is was something I never predicted could or would happen,” Magyar said. “It’s an honor to have my work recog-nized, but it’s also very personal for me.”

Magyar will be honored Wednesday, April 6, in Budapest, Hungary. Th e medal recognizes architects working outside of the country whose work and activi-ties help advance the profession and represent the excellence of Hungarian architecture and ar-chitects in the world.

In the audience will be his siblings, his daughter and his grandchildren -all of whom live in Hungary. Aft er receiving the medal, Magyar will give a presen-tation about his work and his life - from his uncertain beginnings in higher education to design-ing buildings around the globe. He also will discuss his multiple books and his career as an educa-tor, shaping the minds of future architects on fi ve continents.

Growing up in Hungary, Magyar couldn’t pursue a public education because of the coun-try’s then-communist system.

“My father had a grain mill and had 10-15 people working with him,” Magyar said. “Aft er I fi nished middle school I wasn’t allowed into high school. I was considered an enemy of the people because of my father’s oc-cupation.”

But Magyar’s mother was a teacher, so he was home-schooled and graduated from high school summa cum laude. He then applied for admission into the Hungarian Academy of Applied Arts, and was congratu-lated on his acceptance by the committee chair.

When Magyar went to the academy the following day to see his name on the acceptance list, it was missing, as the local party apparatus had intervened. His mother wrote to the Min-istry of Education and Culture, which issued a response letter that Magyar still has to this day. It stated that because of his ances-try/parents’ background, he was not allowed to pursue higher ed-ucation and should instead learn a trade. Five more tries ended in fi ve more rejection letters.

“Th at fi rst letter from the min-istry was really a gift for my life. It made me try again and again in

life,” Magyar said. “I would have grown into a completely diff erent person if everything went well on the fi rst try.”

Eventually a mandatory draft greatly reduced the student pop-ulation and the number of poten-tial applicants, allowing Magyar to be admitted to the Technical University of Budapest.

One day on a whim Magyar visited the shop of an accom-plished furniture designer, asking for an apprentice position. Th is, he said, led to his discovery of architecture and his decision to study it.

“I wanted to explore that scale which lets you make something larger. Architecture seemed to be the right profession for that,” he said. “To me, architecture is very humanistic and even anthro-pomorphic because you have to know how to make things to serve well the human body and psyche,” he said. “But it also deals with ideas, and most of all, it’s art. It’s art in its most developed form.”

Magyar’s career in archi-tecture seems to be built like a dream. He is a registered chief ar-chitect in Hungary and Europe; was the founding director of the School of Architecture at Florida Atlantic University; has been a guest professor at the Royal Academy of Arts in Copenha-gen, Denmark; is president of his Spaceprint Inc. consulting fi rm; has authored fi ve books, including “Th ought Places” and “Th inkInk;” has won multiple awards; and is the designer of many built and un-built projects around the world.

In June 2010, he entered an in-ternational competition to design a house for Johann Sebastian Bach, as if the noted composer was still alive. Magyar’s layout included space for a Yamaha electronic keyboard. Another in-ternational competition in Dec. 2010 asked to design a home for late Swedish architect Gunnar Asplund. Magyar’s submission centered around an iHouse on an iLand -- with the “i” standing for imaginary, because Asplund, like Magyar, used imagination and ingenuity to craft his designs.

Most of Magyar’s focus now is helping architectural students develop their skills, fi nd their purpose and learn to draw and design. He continues to create, too.

“Without passion and love for your profession, there is no way you can design,” he said.

Following their two-game sweep of Northern Colorado, the Wildcats played host to the fi ft h ranked Texas A&M Aggies, who currently sit atop the Big 12 standings. Th e Aggies claimed the fi rst two games of the series on Friday and Saturday with scores of 6-3 and 4-3 respectively. On Sunday, the fortunes turned for the Wildcats as Nick Martini broke the NCAA Division I record for consecutive games by reaching base safely with 87 games en route to a 9-4 win for K-State.

Friday’s game was defi ned by the fourth and fi ft h innings off ensively for the Aggies, as they crunched out all of their six runs in those innings. In front of 1,422 fans, the Wild-cats took an early 2-0 lead thanks to RBIs from Jason King and Mike Kindel that scored Tanner Witt and Martini. However, the two-inning explosion by the Aggies was too much to overcome.

“We had some good momentum early but then we lost it,” K-State head coach Brad Hill said. “It was that four run inning that killed us. Th ey tied it up then we came back and scored one. But we didn’t come up and make plays in those situa-tions. It just didn’t happen.”

Starting pitcher John Stilson was credited with the win for the Aggies, putting his record at 2-1, while the Wildcats’ Kyle Hunter’s record fell to 2-2 with the loss. Joa-quin Hinojosa also earned his sixth save of the year.

Saturday’s matchup proved to be the most exciting of the series, as it came down to a ninth inning run by the Aggies for them to seal

up a 4-3 lead. Th e Aggies drew fi rst blood off an RBI-double from shortstop Kenny Jackson that split the gap in right-center fi eld. Second baseman Charlie Curl then singled up the middle for two more RBIs,

putting the score at 3-0. Th e Wild-cats slowly crept back into the game, as they found the scoreboard in the bottom of the second inning via an RBI-single from catcher Dan Klein. Aft er three score-

less innings, the Wildcats contin-ued to close the gap, as Jared King capped off a two-out rally in the bottom of the sixth inning with an RBI-single that scored Mike Kindel.

“Our guys came up with some big hits,” Hill said. “Th e kids are confi dent and we are competing hard.”

Aft er an intentional walk to Martini in the bottom of the sev-enth inning, third baseman Jason King belted an RBI-double to left -center fi eld that brought home the tying run. However, in the top of the ninth inning, the Aggies fi -nally found the scoreboard again

aft er going seven innings without a run. With no outs, House blasted an RBI-double to right-center fi eld, putting the score at 4-3. Th e Wild-cats were unable to produce any-thing in the bottom of the inning, leaving the Aggies with their ninth straight victory.

“All three of (K-State’s) runs were with two outs, we couldn’t fi nish innings,” Aggies head coach Rob Childress said. “With the wind blowing the way it was, and how K-State played, we were fortunate to come out here and get a win.”

Aft er dropping two straight games to the Aggies despite out-hitting them, they found the win column on Sunday, as they hung nine runs on them on their way to a 9-4 victory. Th ey were led by Jared King, who had one home run and three RBIs and Martini, who broke the record on an RBI-double that put the Wildcats up 4-2 in the second inning.

“It was a big relief,” Hill said.Th e Aggies shook up Wildcats’

starting pitcher Kayvon Bahramza-deh early by loading the bases and hanging two runs on him in the fi rst inning. Th e Wildcats respond-ed though by tying the game in the bottom of the fi rst inning. Jason

King blasted a home run over the right fi eld fence for the fi rst run, and then Mike Kindel hit an RBI-double that scored Wade Hinkle, who had reached third base on a triple.

Krey Bratsen provided two RBIs for the Aggies, with the second one tying the game in the top of the fi ft h inning. However, in the bottom of the fi ft h, the Wildcats poured on four runs, which was highlighted by Jared King’s two-run homer.

“Off ensively, we were much better this weekend, so it was great to see that production pay off in a positive way,” Hill said.

Jared King snagged his third RBI of the day in the bottom of the seventh inning, and the Wildcats’ pitching staff blanked the Aggies from the sixth inning on, giving them a 9-4 victory to close out the series. Jared Moore earned the vic-tory for the Wildcats on the mound, while James Allen earned his eighth save on the year. Th e highlight of the day though was Martini break-ing the record.

“It’s pretty amazing,” Hill said. “He was really locked in today. It’s hard to describe, I don’t see how that happens. Th at’s a lot of at bats, so to be able to string that many games together is amazing.”

Women’s Golfat Indiana InvitationalAll day

For the second straight year, the Butler University Bulldogs are playing in the national championship game. Last year, sophomore swingman Gordon Hayward’s last second heave from half court ricocheted off the backboard and bounced off the rim in a disheartening loss to Duke.

No one thought the Bull-dogs would be able make the same improbable run in back to back years. Yet here they sit. Th e same dopey Indiana kids, who look as unassuming as a bag of potatoes, are playing for a national championship again.

Th e same could be said about Butler’s opponent: Th e University of Connecticut Huskies. Led by junior guard Kemba Walker, the Huskies have yet to lose in a tourna-ment this year. In a grueling fi ve-day stretch, the Huskies were the fi rst team to win the Big East conference champion-ship since the team moved to the double-bye format. Walker, a Bronx native, made Madi-son Square Garden his stage. He is the most clutch player in college basketball. If his team needs a shot, Walker will deliver.

It is not Walker’s abil-ity to hit shots that has been so mesmerizing about the Huskies run, but it is their will. Th eir line-up is chocked full of underclassmen. Freshman guards Shabazz Napier and Jeremy Lamb have played like anything but their class.

While Butler is past the Cinderella label, this year’s championship game will pit the tough-nosed guard from New York in Kemba Walker against the fundamentally sound group from Indiana.

Indiana and New York share an intense rivalry when it comes to basketball. Both consider themselves the holy grail of the sport. While Indi-ana focuses on fundamentals, New York is all about fl ash and toughness.

Th e rivalry was taken to a national stage in the 1990s, when the NBA’s Indiana Pacers and New York Knicks battled in the Eastern Conference playoff s. Aft er nearly a decade, the two states will share the spotlight again.

Th e coaches are about as diff erent from each other too.

UConn’s head Jim Calhoun is a tough brazen individual, who has two championship rings (1999, 2004), and a Hall of Fame membership. Calhoun is currently under investiga-tion by the NCAA for his recruitment of former Con-necticut player Nate Miles Jr.

Miles was given impermis-sible benefi ts from a former team manager. According an ESPN report, Calhoun knew about the impermissible benefi ts.

It is widely speculated that if Calhoun wins the national championship, he will retire from UConn.

On the other hand, you have Butler head coach Brad Stevens, who is a fresh-faced choirboy. His team relies heavily on set plays and tough defense. Stevens has cemented himself as one of the best coaches in the game, but will need to evaluate his options again at the end of the season. He signed a 10-year extension last year, but could bolt Butler for a school in one of the major conferences.

So, here we sit. In a year that has favored the under-dogs, it makes sense to pit the Huskies versus the Bulldogs. Now we just have to wait and see which dog has more bite than bark.

As the postseason of col-lege men’s basketball comes to a close, so does the regu-lar season for college wom-en’s golf at K-State. Today and tomorrow, the Wildcats compete at the Indiana Invi-tational for the first time, mark-ing the team’s last competition before the Big 12 Championships begin on April 22.

The team will tee off at 8 a.m. and play out the first two rounds today. The weather.com forecast for the compe-tition area is 63 degrees with wind and a 50 percent chance of rain until noon, when the possibility of precipitation increases up to 80 percent around 2 p.m. and 3 p.m.

As the women play on the north and west courses of the Otter Creek Golf Course in Columbus, Ind., they will look to improve on their last competition in the Mountain View Collegiate, where they placed 14 out of 18 teams with a collective score of 40-over par 904.

Head coach Kristi Knight said in that competition, which took place March 25-26 in Tucson, Ariz., the K-State women battled less-than-ideal weather (chilly temperatures and gusting winds) on the first day of play but then failed to capi-talize on more ideal weather

of sun and light breeze on the second day. Because those circumstances affect all the golfers, when weather gives an opportunity instead of posing an obstacle, the ath-letes have to take advantage, Knight explained.

The athletes represent-ing K-State at the Indiana

Invitational will be senior Elise Houtz, juniors Paige Osterloo and Ami Storey, s o p h o m o r e Whitney Pyle and freshman Gianna Misenhelter. The same lineup was used back on Oct. 31 of 2010, when

the Wildcats took 14th place in the Alamo Invitational in San Antonio, Texas.

For the first time this season, K-State won’t go head-to-head with any other Big 12 teams this week. How-ever, it does have a few famil-iar opponents in this tourna-ment’s field. The Wildcats have already faced Akron, Illinois, Illinois State, Indi-ana, Louisville and Wiscon-sin this season with a 4-5-0 record against those teams. In various tournaments, K-State scored higher than Akron, Illinois State (twice) and In-diana. In others, the Wildcats scored the same as Illinois, Louisville and Wisconsin (three times).

Strangers to the Wildcats are Ball State, Bradley, Eastern Michigan, Evansville, Indiana University-Purdue University Indianapolis, Michigan, Oak-land and Western Michigan.

Who let the dogs out?

K-State Research and Exten-sion

A team of K-State students placed fi ft h overall in the 2011 Animal Science and Industry Academic Quadrathlon held in Des Moines, Iowa, March 13-16. Th e team competed against 14 other university teams.

Th e students on the K-State team, their major and home-town, included Kyla Clawson, senior in animal sciences and in-dustry and agricultural econom-ics, Satanta, Kan.; Richard Foster III, senior in animal sciences and industry, Wallis, Texas; Austin DeZeeuw, junior in animal sci-ences and industry, Elkton, S.D.; and Kendal Clawson, junior in fi nance and agricultural eco-nomics, Satanta, Kan. Karol Fike, assistant professor of animal sci-ence, serves as the team advisor.

Th e competition includes four events: laboratory practicum, quiz bowl, oral presentation and written exam. Th e material in

the events covers animal science and industry information, with the oral presentation focusing on related topics currently in the news.

Th e K-State team also placed fourth in oral presentation and fi ft h in laboratory practicum. Th e oral presentation topic was livestock production and climate change.

K-State’s team is sponsored by Fourth and Pomeroy Associates, Inc. of Clay Center, Kan., also known as “Key Feeds.” Joe Ebert, Fourth and Pomeroy’s vice presi-dent and general manager is a 1971 K-State graduate in animal sciences and industry, and Joe Brown, company president is a 1959 graduate in feed science and management.

Th e regional competi-tion followed a local academic quadrathlon in February at K-State, where 12 teams made up of K-State students competed to move on to the regional compe-tition.

Nancy PetersonK-State Research and Exten-sion

Families typically have chal-lenges with one or more picky eaters, so they may be surprised that a K-State Research and Extension children’s nutrition specialist is advising parents to teach their children to be selec-tive.

“Th ere’s a diff erence between picky and selective, and an op-portunity for parents to help children improve their health now and in the future,” said Sandy Procter, who also is a registered dietitian and state coordinator for the U.S. Depart-ment of Agriculture’s Expanded Food and Nutrition Education Program.

“Children are much like adults, in that they, too, are con-suming signifi cantly more than the recommended daily allow-ance for sodium,” said Procter, who noted that researchers have reported that some four-year-olds were consuming 4.7 grams of sodium a day, which is more than three times the then daily recommendation of 1,500 mil-ligrams.

“We all need salt, which works in tandem with po-tassium to regulate pressure inside and outside the cells in our bodies,” Procter said. “Too much salt can cause retention of fl uids, and that makes it more diffi cult for potassium to do

its pump-like job in regulating body fl uids and causes blood pressure to rise.”

“Physicians are seeing high blood pressure in young children, and have linked it to asthma, as well as osteopo-rosis and stomach cancer in later years,” she said. Th e research is ongoing, and the new USDA Di-etary Guidelines released early this year have lowered the rec-ommended daily allowances for sodium to 1,000 milligram (for young children) and encourages no more than 1,500 milligram for older children.

Trimming the salt from meals and snacks is best when it’s a gradual process, said Procter. She also noted that making food an issue isn’t likely to create harmony.

“Salt is an acquired taste, and, while some salt occurs nat-urally in foods (such as milk), processed and fast foods are the primary source of sodium for most Americans,” she said.

Children oft en will be in-troduced to salt through baby and toddler foods that may have been salted to improve

taste, said Procter, who encour-ages parents to read labels and choose lower salt versions of processed foods.

Parents do, however, have an opportunity to eff ect change, as they choose the food brought into the home and, at least, for young children, can guide selec-tions in restau-rants, she said. She urges parents to evaluate the sodium in the family’s current diet and to begin a off ering more foods that are lower in sodium at home and away

from home.“Model healthy choices,” she

said. “We’ve all seen parents or grandparents eating at a restau-rant with a toddler nibbling on French fries, which, in addition to being salted, have been deep fried.

Carrying along a small re-usable container with carrot strips, apple wedges, veggies and low-fat dip, or dry whole-grain cereal or crackers can sat-isfy a child, or an adult for that matter, without encouraging a taste for foods high in sodium that can harm health, said Procter, who off ered tips for

parents to improve the family’s eating habits:

- Ease into gradual change, rather than going cold-turkey.

- Put the salt shaker away.- Begin reducing processed

foods, and increase health-promoting fruits and vegetables into daily meals and snacks.

- Read Nutrition Facts Labels to know what you are eating, and re-read labels periodically on frequently used processed food products because formulas can change.

- Look for foods with labels that say “No Salt Added” and, again, read Nutrition Facts Labels. If a claim of “lower” or “reduced” sodium, the question becomes “lower than what?” or “reduced from what?’

- Be aware, as formulas for reduced sodium products may contain more sugar or other sweeteners.

- Compare Nutrition Facts Labels on similar products from diff erent sources, and choose the product that is lower in sodium. For example, in checking the sodium in graham crackers, we found that a national brand of honey grahams and store brand each contained 180 milligram of sodium per serving, and store brand with cinnamon 105 mil-ligram per serving.

Th e reduced salt version of a popular whole-grain crack-er contained 60 milligram of sodium per serving, while the original version of the cracker

off ered 230 milligram per serv-ing.

In checking frozen, family-sized pizzas, we compared the sodium per serving in three off erings with similar toppings, and found that the sodium per serving off ered choices for con-sumers: 680 milligram; 800 mil-ligram; and 810 milligram per serving.

Does that mean the family will need to give up pizza?

“No,” said Procter, who urged choosing the product with the lowest possible sodium content or making a pizza together for family fun and savings on gro-cery dollars. Her suggestions include:

1) Consider a whole grain crust to add fl avor, vitamins, minerals, and fi ber that is im-portant to removing body waste.

2) Substitute tomato paste which is lower in salt, mixed with low-sodium vegetable juice, and season with herbs such basil or oregano, rather than a prepared pizza sauce or tomato sauce that is typically higher in sodium.

3) Top with lean meats, poultry and/or vegetables.

4) Sprinkle lightly with low-fat cheese.

* Brush up on your cooking skills, and invite the family to join you. Eating at home can save on the grocery bill; make the family less dependent on highly salted processed foods,

and help to teach children life skills in choosing and preparing foods that contribute to health.

- Pay attention to portions or serving sizes and follow recom-mendations.

- Encourage the family to drink water, rather than sugary drinks; and switch to fat-free or low-fat (1 percent) milk.

- Re-think snacks and snack foods.

“Snacks serve a purpose in our eating plans, but the boom in the snack food busi-ness, in which foods oft en are highly salted, is contributing to national concerns about in-creased consumption of sodium that can be harmful to health,” Procter said. She noted that, in past years, an aft er-school snack oft en consisted of low- or un-processed foods such as fruit or graham crackers with milk.

Look to foods that contribute to health rather than pre-pack-aged processed snack foods, and time snacks to fi ll the gaps between meals. Check serving size, and stop at one, rather than graze or munch mindlessly, she said.

More information about nu-trition, health, choosing foods, and preparing family meals is available at K-State Research and Extension offi ces through-out the state and online. To review and/or download the new USDA Dietary Guidelines go to Dietary Guidelines for Americans.

that is another additional ex-pense on the budget.

Former Kansas governor John Carlin said the govern-ment made that money “strings attached” because employ-ment was a major concern at the time, so it made sense that the focus would be providing money to allow school districts to hire people or keep people employed. Th at the funds are provided for a limited amount of time was made clear up front, but picking up the diff erence is always an issue.

“Th e hope was the economy would improve fast enough to fi ll in the gap that was going to be there when the federal money ran out,” Carlin said. “For the most part, that’s not taking place. Th e recession has been longer and deeper than an-

ticipated, and we’re struggling harder and harder to get out of it. Th ere are positive signs, but the reality is the recession still has a huge impact on a lot of people, and certainly those in the school system.”

While Carlin mentioned a two-year budget as a plan that might ease the problem pre-sented by budget cuts that come in the middle of the school year, he said the solution would be to create the budget with the goal of having a signifi cant bal-ance – not a huge rainy day ac-count, but a few hundred thou-sand dollars – left over aft er

all the planned spending had occurred. Th is was the under-standing, he said, when he was the governor from 1979 to 1987.

“If we had continued that, we would have a little more fl exibility during the middle of

a budget year, and there’d be some resources there to dip into to fi nish the budget year and not have this problem,” Carlin said. “But we’ve kind of got in a pattern of making things pretty tight, and they’re talking about that now for fi scal year

2012 and very likely having these situations develop again next fi scal year.”

of that raw material. We’ve got to make something out of it.”

As a teacher who deals with the state assessment every year, Marshall said No Child Left Behind is good because it holds all the teachers accountable for all of their students, which is needed to keep everyone on their toes, but said it is bad that it holds all students to the same level.

“Everybody has to reach a certain bar and jump over that bar, and we all know that stu-dents and people in general aren’t cookie cutters and they don’t all fi t the same mold,” Marshall said. “I think that’s the biggest fl aw in it, is that we hold everybody to the same measure.”

Th e Manhattan-Ogden School District does have a way in which it measures stu-dents’ individual performance. Th e “computer-based adaptive assessments,” as the tests are described on the Northwest Evaluation Association website, compose what Marshall refers to as “MAP testing” – MAP stands for Measures of Academic Prog-ress. Students across the district will take the test within the fi rst two or three weeks of school and then again in April. In this

way, teachers can see not only at which level students are at but also from which level they have come.

“You can measure each kid’s individual accomplishments throughout the year, and I think that’s the perfect system,” Mar-shall said. “Th at way you can say, okay, this child, in math, started off at a second grade level and ended up at a fourth grade level, even though they’re in the sixth

grade. Th ey’re still not at level, but they gained two years in a year, so you can show that indi-vidual growth.”

Th e district began using the system three or four years ago, Marshall said. Th e assessment

also shows the weaknesses of each student and builds tutorials for him or her based on the test results.

Marshall said this kind of an assessment would be a great way to measure improvement in education. However, she does not see the school district opting out of No Child Left Behind any time soon, as the McPherson School District recently did in favor of its own alternate system. She said she thought revamping the act was on President Barack Obama’s campaign list and hoped that in the next two or three years the legislation would change and become a better system anyway.

Former Kansas governor and K-State professor John Carlin said while No Child Left Behind is a good idea in theory, the mechanisms of it have to be im-proved.

“Th e pro is it puts an empha-sis on improving education and accountability,” Carlin said. “Th e con is it’s done in such a way we tend to end up just teaching to test results and don’t really, in the bigger picture, make any progress, and that is why there is a serious discussion and pos-sible action in Washington to make changes and learn from that experience and only do it better.”

The K-State men’s golf team has travelled south to Scottsdale, Ariz., to compete in the Wyoming Cowboy Classic today and tomorrow.

Freshmen Thomas Bird-sey and Jack Watson will lead the Wildcat lineup. Between the two players, they hold three top-five finishes and five top-ten finishes. Birdsey, with a 73.21 stroke average, is the team frontrunner, followed by Watson with a 74.71 av-erage.

The lineup remains un-changed from last week-end’s competition. In the

Border Olympics, Birdsey and Curtis Yonke were the top players for K-State. Sophomores Ben Juffer and Yonke and junior Kyle Smell will compete along-side Birdsey and Watson at the Cowboy Classic.

Today’s competition is the first time the Wildcats have played in the Wyo-ming Cowboy Classic. The Wildcats will face competi-tion from No. 22 San Diego and Big 12 teams including Baylor, Kansas and Colo-rado.

At last year’s Wyo-ming Cowboy Classic, Cal State-Northridge won the tournament while Gunner Wiebe of San Diego cap-tured was the individual

There’s no place like home for sculptor Tal Streeter.

An exhibition of the Manhattan High School alumnus’s work, “Lines Traveling Through Space: Ghosts and Shadows, Minimal Sculptures by Tal Streeter,” runs April 8 through Oct. 11 in the Orval Hempler Gallery at Kansas State University’s Marianna Kistler Beach Museum of Art.

Streeter’s first works as an artist -- done while he was living, working and exhibiting in New York City in the 1960s -- drew upon his Manhattan back-ground. He describes these early sculptures as “a dis-tillation, abstractions of the windblown grasses of the Konza Prairie.” His metal “Prairie Sculptures” were shown at the 1964 New York World’s Fair and the Whitney Museum of Art. One of the sculptures

is included in his Beach Museum exhibition.

Also in the exhibition will be Streeter’s most recent work, which are done in a combination of heavier and lighter materi-als.

“These works depart from the tradition of pure nonobjective minimal-ist art, as they allow the viewer to imagine a story connected to each one,” Streeter said. “For example, my work ‘Ghosts’ is a very pared-down story of the passage through life: youth, middle age, death. At the same time, the objects may still be read as pure struc-ture, or ‘lines traveling through space.’”

Streeter was born in Oklahoma City in 1934. His family moved to Man-hattan when he was 2 years old, and he graduated from Manhattan High School in 1952. Streeter attended the University of Kansas, earn-ing a bachelor of fine arts and a master of fine arts in design and sculpture.

He taught at KU before moving to New York to start his sculpture career. In 1969 Streeter went to Japan to study the art of kite making. Following his return to the United States two years later, he wrote “The Art of the Japanese Kite,” one of the most influ-ential book about kites ever published in English.

Streeter was inducted into the Manhattan High School Alumni Association Wall of Fame in February.

More information about the Streeter exhibition is available by contacting Martha Scott at the Beach Museum of Art, 785-532-7718, or dropping by the museum on the south-east corner of the K-State campus at 14th Street and Anderson Avenue. Free visitor parking is avail-able next to the building. Normal museum hours are 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. Wednes-day through Saturday; and noon to 5 p.m. Sundays. The museum is closed Mondays and Tuesdays.
