Walking into the International Student Center on Friday, I knew I was about to experience something totally new and unique. Brochures featuring Arabic writings lie in a pile by the door. Tables were fi lled with dates and water, the traditional Muslim food for breaking fast. An atmosphere of celebration perme-ated the room. Th is was a celebra-tion of Ramadhan, the Islamic holy month.

Th e celebration’s organizers did not waste any time making visitors feel welcome. As I looked about, I was greeted by one of the event’s main organizers, Abdulrahman Alkhiary, freshman in fi nance and international relations. Or, as his friends call him, Wageeh. Alkhiary led me to a table where I could be seated and then the festival kicked into full swing.

Attending this year’s Ramadhan festival was the fi rst time that I had ever taken part in a traditional

Muslim celebration. I was not famil-iar with the holiday. However, this festival was set up expressly to help people like me to learn.

In Muslim teaching, Ramadhan is a celebration of the time in which the fi rst verses of the Qur’an were revealed. I also learned that the reason Muslims fast on Ramadhan is to help instill discipline into their life, as well as to help them take their focus off of worldly things. Th is fasting also represents the suff ering of the poor and hungry who do not have anything to eat. By experiencing a taste of that hardship, people are then able to more easily empathize with those in poverty and are more motivated to contribute to charitable eff orts. By educat-ing the audience on the nature of Ramadhan, the festival maintained an air of inclusion that made it possible for everyone in attendance to enjoy themselves no matter their background.

Th e evening began with a sung prayer, celebrating Ramadhan and praying for the discipline that it requires. As soon as that ended, we were treated to a Powerpoint presentation about the tenants of Ramadhan and Islam on the whole and the opportunity to speak with some of Manhattan’s Muslim leaders about their faith. Next, aft er another prayer, people were encouraged to eat a few dates in order to symboli-

cally and physically end the daily fasting that accompanies Ramadhan. Finally, a delicious buff et was set out and everyone was treated to a great dinner of both traditional foods as well as Western cuisine.

Th is year marks the fi rst time that a Ramadhan festival at K-state and the turnout was great. Not only did almost a hundred people show up in order to join in the celebrations, but, according to Alkhiary, “When you look out over the crowd, 90 percent of the people are K-Staters or K-State alumni.”

Th e event was able to maintain an atmosphere of traditional reverence for Kansas State’s Muslim commu-nity while also educating those who had little previous experience with Ramadhan or its tenants.

Th e Ramadhan festival also drew many community supporters, in-cluding State Representative Sydney Carlin. Carlin has been a long time proponent of the Muslim presence in Manhattan and during her time as a city commissioner helped to begin construction on Manhat-tan’s mosque. She said she enjoyed how K-State was able to provide an inclusive atmosphere that was able to bring together people of all faiths and cultures in order to share a piece of Muslim culture. It is, she said, “important to be accepting and open to all ideas and people”, adding that this festival’s coordinators were “very

accepting and very friendly as well.”However, Ramadhan is not only

for adults. Although children are exempt from the traditional fasting until their teens, many choose to begin early in order to essentially “practice” for when their fasting becomes obligatory. One such case is that of 8-year old Saifelelden. Originally from Egypt, this year Saifelelden fasted for eight days, from dawn to dusk. When I asked him how he was enjoying the festi-val, he smiled.

“It is a good day,” he declared.Th is year’s Ramadhan festi-

val marks what will hopefully be

the beginning of a long standing tradition at K-State. By providing an atmosphere of celebration, the festival was a great way to not only celebrate the Holy Month, but an outstanding way for people who may not be experienced in Muslim culture to come learn and experi-ence it for themselves. I encourage K-Staters to keep an eye out for next year’s Ramadhan festival, because this is one event you are not going to want to miss.

EVENING BREAK

Dillon Fairchild

Passengers on the 5:35 p.m. fl ight to Dallas from the Manhattan Re-gional Airport were treated to cake and free drinks as they prepared for their fl ight Th ursday. Th e airport celebrated its two-year anniversary of American Eagle jet service to Dallas.

American Eagle began fl ights to the airport in 2009 as part of Man-hattan’s bid to secure the National Bio-Agro Defense Facility (NBAF), a large federal bio science lab. Th e state off ered the airport $2 million in revenue guarantees for direct airline service to a major hub from Manhattan to improve it’s national connectivity, and American Eagle took the off er.

American Eagle initially off ered just two daily fl ights to Dallas, but that quickly jumped to three in April of 2010 as more people used the air-port. Th e airline added a fl ight to Chicago in November of last year, and will add a second daily Chicago fl ight in November. Now, even with-out the expected large numbers of travellers NBAF will bring, the air-port is breaking records each year in annual boardings.

“In July of 2009, before the American Eagle service, just 1,090 travellers used the airport,” Airport Director Peter VanKuren said. “In July of this year, we served close to 4,600 travellers, well over a 400% in-crease in annual boardings.”

Manhattan was served by re-gional carrier Great Lakes Airlines

before the American Eagle jet ser-vice with fl ights to Kansas City and Denver under a federal subsidy pro-gram for rural airports. Th e Ameri-can Eagle service no longer attracts that subsidy.

While the airport’’s passenger numbers have grown tremendously over the last two years, VanKuren expects those numbers to continue to grow. In 2010, Manhattan re-tained just 19 percent of traffi c from it’s catchment area, with the other 81 percent going to other airports, es-pecially Kansas City.

“As we continue to add more seats, fl ights and perhaps another market like Denver, we can hope-fully retain more passengers that would fl y through Manhattan in-stead,” VanKuren said. Chicago has also boosted retention, and those numbers were not included in the 2010 statistic.

VanKuren noted he had talked with United Airlines, which main-tains a hub at Denver, to potentially serve Manhattan sometime in the future.

Regardless, the current service continues to receive high marks from travellers, who appreciate the convenience of the small airport and free parking.

“Manhattan is convenient to fl y

in and out of,” Manhattan passenger Terry Leone said. “When you factor in gas and parking (in Kansas City) it almost pays to fl y from Manhat-tan.”

Kelsie Johnson, a freshman in business, also appreciates the conve-nience of the airport and it’s direct fl ight to her hometown, Dallas.

“Its a lot closer and easier than Kansas City and the fl ight is short-er,” Johnson said. “Its nice that I can spend less time travelling and more time with my family and friends over breaks.”

“For the most part, travellers have been very happy with the ser-vice,” VanKuren said. “Once the second Chicago fl ight starts, pas-sengers should have more fl exibility with regard to times.”

Th e Manhattan terminal, built in 1997, is already fi lled to capacity during most fl ights and shows many signs of wear and tear thanks to the thousands of new local fl iers using the facility each month. For the amount of use it gets, the Federal Aviation Administration, or FAA, recommends a 38,000 square-foot terminal while Manhattan today has just 12,500 sq. ft . of that space, which sometimes makes for a crowded ter-minal when two 50-seat jets are on the ground.

VanKuren, the Manhattan Air-port Advisory Board and the Man-hattan City Commission will meet Sept. 13 to discuss ways to almost triple the size of the existing termi-nal to allow for two separate board-ing gates, more check-in areas and enclosed-jetway boarding.

Coff man Commons was fi lled with stu-dents and faculty alike at dusk on Sunday night. Some on blankets, some in lawn chairs, but many stayed true to the name of the event and just sprawled out on the lawn to watch the documentary “Trouble the Water,” the fi rst movie of this year’s Movies on the Grass series.

“Th e turnout was astounding,” said Donna Schenck-Hamlin, instructor at Hale Library and one of the organizers of the event. Two diff erent volunteers counted the crowd and reported approximately 400 people, which far exceeded their expectations, Schenck-Hamlin said.

Th e documentary is constructed primar-ily of raw footage from a camcorder owned by Kimberly Rivers, a woman living in a poor black neighborhood in New Orleans, just a couple of blocks from the levees, during the Hurricane Katrina disaster of 2005. Th e foot-age follows Rivers and her family, who are stranded in New Orleans because they do not have a car to evacuate in, and the trials they face during and aft er the storm. Th ey take shelter in the attic as their house fl oods, are ignored and neglected by rescuers and discover dead bodies in their neighborhood weeks later. River’s grandmother dies when she is abandoned by rescuers in a hospital and her brother, who is in jail for a misde-meanor charge, is forced to fend for himself when guards abandon the prisoners in the fl ooded jail without food.

Megan Roberts, freshman in business management, said the documentary was interesting and eye-opening. She said she

remembered Katrina well because her grand-parents were living in Florida and she wor-ried about them.

Stephen Kiefer, director of the university honors program and professor in psychology, was in New Orleans at the time because his son was about to begin classes at Tulane Uni-versity. He and his family left the Saturday before the storm hit in August and his son was not able to attend school until January 2006. In spite of the months that had passed, Kiefer said the city was still full of debris and much of it was still without electricity. Houses near the university still bore spray paint pro-claiming the number of dead found inside.

“My wife was not happy leaving our son there,” Kiefer said.

Movies on the Grass continues on Sunday, September 11 with the fi lm “Houston, We Have A Problem,” a documentary about Texas oil businessmen.travelling and more time with my family and friends over breaks.”

“For the most part, travellers have been very happy with the service,” VanKuren said. “Once the second Chicago fl ight starts, pas-sengers should have more fl exibility with regard to times.”

Th e Manhattan Downtown Farmer’s Market was busy on Sat-urday morning. Th e parking lot on the corner of 5th Street and Humboldt Street was full of ven-dors, families and musicians.

Christie Cady, the market manager said that there are be-tween 50 to 60 vendors that are a part of the Manhattan Farmers Market.

“We’ve completely run out of space,” Cady said.

On average, each weekend there are between 35 to 40 ven-dors.

Although Cady has only been with the market since June, she is not new to the food scene in Manhattan. As a former frater-nity cook and owner of the 4th Street Café, Cady became con-cerned about getting healthy, simple food to people.

In the past few years, there has been emergence of a culture that promotes the local and sustain-able food movements.

Th e Manhattan Farmer’s Market vendors have everything from craft s, produce, meat and baked goods.

Aubrey Wellington is the owner of Ambrosia, a baked goods vendor.

“I think this is my tenth time at the market,” Wellington said.

Wellington, who just gradu-ated from high school, said she wants to go to the French Culi-nary Institute and participate in the Classic Pastry Arts program.

Wellington’s favorite cupcake is the strawberry and lavender cupcake.

“It’s defi nitely my favorite,” Wellington said. “It’s not super sweet and the frosting kind of tastes like strawberry ice cream.”

She also sells a pear and ginger cupcake along with a chocolate and orange cupcake.

Among the many produce and food vendors there were fl ower, kettle corn and body product vendors.

Christy O’Neal is the owner of Christy Farms and she has a booth at the market.

“Th e soaps I make the more traditional way,” O’Neal said. “I

start with your fats, oils and lye, then I let it cure for six to eight weeks before I sell it.”

At the time of the market, O’Neal had sunfl ower oil, olive oil and milk soaps for sale. She usu-ally makes her soaps during the winter because it is dryer and the curing process goes faster.

O’Neal makes her soaps in small batches as needed. Th ere are no preservatives in the soap but to O’Neal that is a good thing.

Th e rosemary oil and vitamin E oil O’Neal uses are good for your skin and can act as natural preservative.

Along with the vendors and musicians, Noah Reagan, head chef and owner of della Voce, gave a cooking demonstration.

Reagan, accompanied by his wife Olivia, prepared caprese salad, sausage and peppers and a grilled fl atbread pizza.

Aft er graduating from K-State with a degree in hotel and restau-rant management, Reagan found unique opportunities to learn. He moved to Turks and Caicos where his education really started.

“Th e third day I was there, my boss put a 450 pound tuna up on a shelf and said ‘okay, we’re going to make steaks,’” Reagan said.

Aft er spending time in Boston, Costa Rica, Paris and Houston, Reagan started scouting out places in Manhattan for restau-rant concepts.

Reagan opened della Voce on Poyntz in October 2007.

As a local chef, Reagan has fi rst hand knowledge of trying to inte-grate local food into his menu.

“I think it is interesting that…so much of our food in Kansas is exported out,” Reagan said. “Having some food being mico produced is really great.”

Farmers markets off er com-munities members the chance to support local farmers. Accord-ing to the Sustainable Table web-site, sustainabletable.org, “One easy way to start buying local is to choose one product to focus on. Vegetables are oft en a good place to start. Produce also off ers a good introduction to eating seasonally—an excellent way to learn about local agriculture.”

Currently, the Manhattan Farmer’s Market is preparing for the switch from Summer to Fall produce.

“Th ings like tomatoes, their season is ending. Th e Fall crop (could be) lettuce, salad mixes. Maybe radish, carrots and beets. Any kind of melon,” Cady said.

Reagan is looking forward to the fall special of Osso Bucco at della Voce. Reagan makes a very limited amount each night. Th ey will start serving the dish next week. Along with the specialty dish, Reagan is excited about, pumpkin soup, butternut squash ravioli, short ribs and duck confi t.

People who value local as their primary food criterion are sometimes referred to as loca-vores. During the San Francisco Bay Area for World Environment Day 2005, Jessica Prentice coined the term to “describe and pro-mote the practice of eating a diet consisting food harvested from within an area most commonly bound by a 100 mile radius,” ac-cording to Sustainable Table.

Reagan has a similar view on how local is defi ned.

“I would defi ne ‘local’ as within three or four counties,” Reagan said. “One of the crazy things about local food is there is no defi nition for it. Natural and local are very vague terms and people will manipulate them for whatever they want them to be.”

Sustainable Table supports what Reagan is saying, stating “local is shorthand for an idea that doesn’t have a fi rm defi ni-tion.”

Th e Wichita - Flint Hills chap-ter of Slow Food USA website states, “(it) wants to help South-eastern Kansas rediscover our love of local food, quality ingredi-ents and community with the cre-ation and consumption of food.”

Reagan says that two factions are forming in the professional world concerning slow, local and sustainable food. One side of the balance says that food has got to be clean because it is feeding the masses. Th e other side says that food should be a pure as it pos-sibly can be.

“I think as we move forward, those two are starting to come to-gether,” Reagan said.

When it comes to produce for della Voce, Reagan does try to shop local if he can. In the cook-ing demonstration Reagan used mozzerella, basil, sausage, pep-pers, and honey from the market.

Part of the issue with having food from local growers is the challenge of consistency and quantity Reagan said.

“I’m very aware of my obliga-tions to the public,” Reagan said. “I’m very aware of my obligations to the state and my health license.”

Reagan said that if he orders a box of tomatoes from a local grower, he understands that he may only be able to use 65 per-cent of it.

“When you can get the quanti-ty you need and everything looks good, then I think it’s okay to use some of it,” Reagan said.

Reagan and Cady had advice for families and students who want to start using more local food in their daily cooking.

Cady wanted to remind those new to the local food scene to learn what is seasonal.

“I would say defi nitely shop lo-cally with your businesses,” Cady said. “Not just produce but with craft s, breads and baked goods.”

“Don’t get hung up on whether or not it looks like it does in the grocery store because likely it won’t,” Reagan said. “If they can get past that, I think they’ll have a lot of fun…experiment and learn.”

Th e world would be a better place if we all cooper-ated, and yet we oft en don’t.

In game theory, a branch of mathematics concerned with strategic decisions in multiplayer scenarios, there is a concept that models non-cooperation and explains why rational people might not cooperate with each other, even if it is in their best interests to do so. Th is model is called the prisoner’s dilemma.

Imagine that two partner bank robbers have been captured by the police, who have insuffi cient evidence to convict either partner. Th ey are being interrogated sepa-rately, with no knowledge of what the other is doing. If one defects and testifi es against the other, he will go free while the other serves 10 years in prison. If both defect, they get fi ve years apiece. If neither suspect defects, they get a year each for carrying unlicensed guns.

When they decide whether or not to defect, the suspects must each consider the other’s deci-sion, and they each come to this conclusion: no matter what my partner does, I can reduce my own sentence by defecting.

Th is is a perfectly ratio-nal decision, but it yields an irrational result. Both partners defect and are sentenced to fi ve years in prison, but they could have gotten just one year each by cooperating.

Th is situation involv-ing rational self-interest producing irrational results isn’t limited to hypotheti-cal prisoners and police interrogations. You can see the model of the prisoner’s dilemma pop up anywhere in real life if you know what to look for.

For example, the pris-oner’s dilemma is respon-sible for the recent trend of loud TV commercials. Any one advertiser can decide that no matter what other commercials do, their own commercial will only be more noticeable with louder volume. Th e result is that lots of advertisers pump out loud commercials, and we, the viewers, become better and better at tuning them out, or mute commercials altogether.

Th e advertisers could all improve their marketing if they would tone their com-mercials down a bit, but be-cause they compete instead of cooperating, everyone loses, viewers and advertis-ers alike. Loud commercials no longer stand out, and the viewers hate them or ignore them.

Students taking tests with curves are also subjected to the dilemma. Every student would be a little better off if they all decided not to score too high and thus make the curve a little friendlier; but to any individual student, the best strategy is to do as well as possible on the test, regardless of the curve.

You don’t know whether or not everyone else is cooperating, but in either case, you want as many points as you can score. Th e end result? Th e students who do well and score high ruin the curve for every-one else. (Of course, tests are there to measure your

knowledge and make you learn the material as much as to aff ect your grade, so cooperating on a curve would have little point to begin with, but it’s still an interesting example.)

A bizarre dilemma oc-curred last month when Congress was arguing over the debt ceiling, where both sides defecting would have been the most disastrous consequence for everyone involved. A compromise of tax revenues and spending cuts would have been the mature, rational thing to do, but our elected representa-

tives would have none of that.

Instead, it became a race to defect and refuse to com-promise, because the fi rst side to defect would have a great deal of bargaining power throughout the ensu-ing negotiations, and the other side would be unable to defect in retaliation for fear of letting the economy fall into ruin. By quickly becoming stubbornly un-compromising, the Republi-cans in Congress essentially invoked the dark side of a prisoner’s dilemma and degraded the quality of our

national politics another notch.

Of course, there are countless more examples of prisoner’s dilemmas, like nuclear arms races, corporate advertising bud-gets, OPEC price controls, athletes doping and using steroids and even women wearing makeup. So why does the dilemma seem to play out so oft en? Why do we shoot ourselves in the foot instead of cooperating with others?

I think the basic reason is that we never trust others to cooperate. We know

that we’re good, rational people, but when others play, it’s easy and safe to assume the worst about them. If we learned to beat the prisoner’s dilemma and work toward logical out-comes, I have no doubt that society as a whole would benefi t. But to do that, we would have to learn to see each other as collabora-tors instead of competitors. Perhaps that’s just not in our mindset.

DILEMMANon-cooperation decisions abound, reoccur in everyday life

Brian Hampel

In 2006, a trend that had re-mained generally stable for several years showed a sudden spike, it marked the fi rst year in nearly a decade where unplanned pregnan-cies amongst teenage girls rose, as well as the rates of abortions, ac-cording to Sharon Jayson in the Jan. 26, 2010, USA Today article “Teen Pregnancy, Abortion Rates Rise.”

Th e issue of anti-abortion versus pro-abortion rights has been one that I speak of very carefully, be-cause when dealing with the social and moral connotations associated with something as tangible as a human life, there are always more issues than just what lie on the surface.

It is my opinion that constitu-tionally, abortion can’t possibly be made illegal, nor should it, because there are circumstances where dif-fi cult decisions about the health and safety of the mother and the fetus need to be made. Th e answer is not always to carry the fetus to term. However, my biggest problem with abortion is not that it exists or that is practiced. What really bothers me about being radically pro-choice is that I feel abortion should only be an option if the situation is ex-tremely serious.

Unplanned pregnancies with a boyfriend, not feeling prepared to be a mother, or simply not wanting to have a child are not adequate rea-sons for aborting a fetus. Th is is why I believe that more young women who are experiencing a pregnancy that is unexpected or unwanted should use the route of adoption rather than abortion.

My basis on this is largely per-sonal, since I was born to unwed 17-year-old high school students. My birth mother had already expe-rienced one unplanned pregnancy as a teenager and I was the second. Feeling unprepared for raising a child, she put me up for adoption, where my parents, who were unable to have children due to medical reasons, adopted me shortly aft er I was born.

Th ey never fail to bring up this

story at any sort of birthday or family celebration, which obviously, is extremely repetitive and embar-rassing aft er 21 years of hearing it. But thinking about my situa-tion and my family’s situation is what sparked my opinions on this column, because my parents were overwhelmingly excited to learn they could still have a baby even though they couldn’t conceive. My birth mother had the opportunity to turn something negative that happened in her life into something that made someone else’s life better.

In fact, the adoption rate has remained pretty steady for several years. In 2000 and 2001, approximately 127,000 children were adopted in the United States, accord-ing to the Child Welfare Infor-mation Gateway at childwelfare.gov. Additionally, the United States Department of Health and Human Services reported that as of 2007, 30 percent of Americans had or were considering adopting a child. In 2002, 2.6 million women were taking steps to go through with adoption and 23.2 percent of them completed the process, according to the same source. Th e fact is, there are people in society who really do want a child and can’t have one and there are also people who really do not want a child and are stuck carrying one.

Some critics of adoption argue the point that if it’s your mistake, it should also be a lesson and be your responsi- bility. I have had friends who think and feel that adoption is just another easy out to get rid of your baby. On more than one occasion I have heard people use the reasoning that if you are adult enough to lay down and make the baby, then you are adult enough to accept responsibility and raise it.

Here is what I think about that: sex is easy, parenting is not. Just because you fi gured out the recipe doesn’t mean you’re going to going to be able to produce a fi nal, suc-cessful product.

People also ask me all the time, did you feel abandoned since your birth mother gave you away? Abso-lutely not. Being socially responsible and giving up your child when you aren’t ready to be a mother is show-ing you want a better life for your baby, not that you’re abandoning the child.

I have met wonderful young mothers who kept their children aft er unplanned pregnancies and have done an amazing job standing in the face of adversity and raising

beautiful families. I

never want to diminish the young women who have done that. But I also want to promote the idea that even in a compromising situation, there are options like adoption that can turn a sudden mistake into a blessing for everyone involved.

Adoption rates steady, opens doors for many

Jillian AramowiczTo some people, the idea of local

food is just a hippie fad that will come and go like a bad fashion trend (remember gaucho pants, anyone?), but we support the movement fully. Not only is local food fresher, as it generally is not transported hundreds of miles just to arrive at the supermarket, but the movement can oft en create a close-knit community.

Th e local farmer’s market is a great example of this, as it includes music and art as well as locally grown, raised and baked food. Members of the edito-rial board that attended described it as “one big party” with friendly people and good food all around.

We believe that college students should try to be more involved in our local farmer’s market and should give the idea of local food a chance. Th is would bring us, as students, closer to the members of the community and will be a good chance for students to buy produce and other healthy foods, rather than the usual junk food they are known to eat.

While some things may be more expensive when bought locally, the ben-efi ts of doing so may outweigh the small loss of money. Obviously, buying locally keeps money in the community, which we believe is a defi nite plus. Secondly, local foods tend to have far fewer chemi-cals in them, making them more natural, and less processed.

In addition to the community farmer’s market, the student farm can also be seen selling produce on campus, so if you can’t get yourself out of bed and across town to the local market, support the student farm on your way to or from class.

Either way, buying locally is an opportunity we feel many students are missing out on and we encourage everyone to consider checking out these events.

ROWDY BUNCHTh e dawn of a new school

year brings forth the res-urrection of many yearly traditions. One of the most popular athletic traditions for students is the Purple Pit, the student rewards pro-gram for K-State volleyball. Th e Purple Pit is now enter-ing its sixth year, and it has helped provide the Wildcats with one of the most vi-brant and noticeable volley-ball student sections in the nation.

“We have an unbeliev-able student section,” Wild-cats’ head coach Suzie Fritz said. “Th ey’re just awesome. Th ey’re rowdy and get in-

volved with what is happen-ing on the fl oor.”

K-State has long been known for their student’s ability to fi ll a venue with rowdy fans. Th e Purple Pit has had a signifi cant impact on spreading that eff ect from the gridiron and hard-wood to the volleyball court at Ahearn Fieldhouse, where the volleyball team plays its home games.

“We love playing in Ahearn,” said Fritz. “Th e Purple Pit makes it an ideal volleyball environ-ment, and that is one where the students are right up on the fl oor, close to the action where they are able to disrupt our opponents. I remember a game against

Texas where (the Long-horns) were actually aff ected by their presence.”

Th e Purple Pit is a pro-gram designed to reward students with prizes corre-sponding to how oft en they attend games. Th is year, fi ve matches earns a member a free T-shirt, seven matches earns entry into a drawing for a $50 gift card to the K-State Online Store, eight gives students a Powercat Aluminum sport bottle, and 10 earns students an entry into a drawing for a $100 Varney’s gift card.

“Th e students are great,” Fritz said. “Th eir presence is really felt and the pro-gram tries to reward them for that.”

For drawing prizes, the number of entries into a drawing correlates to the number of matches a student has attended. Th ose prizes help motivate the students to keep attending the games as the season progresses.

“I defi nitely like free stuff ,” Devan Zwygart, sophomore in chemical engineering, said. “I feel a lot of people go to the games, though, just to support the team and those are the true fans.”

Zwygart was a member of the Purple Pit last year.

Another aspect that mo-tivates the students is the

appreciation the players give the members of the Purple Pit.

“Th ey always sign volley-balls for us, and that keeps me coming because I know they appreciate it,” Zwygart said.

“I know they really ap-preciate their support,” Fritz added. “ Th e girls don’t nec-

essarily see everything they do, but we defi nitely hear them and feel their presence. Th ey’ve really made Ahearn a great environment and have helped establish a great tradition here at K-State.”

Th e Purple Pit, along with the rest of the volleyball program, makes their home debut on Tuesday, Aug. 30.

Students can sign up for the Purple Pit as they arrive at Ahearn Fieldhouse, where students will receive their punch card that keeps track of the number of matches the student attends. Regis-tration is free to students and only requires a student ID. First serve on Tuesday’s game is scheduled for 7 p.m.

K-State students cheered on the Wildcats as they took on the Texas Longhorns in a volley-ball match at Ahearn Fieldhouse Oct. 9, 2010.

Two minute drillMonty ThompsonSports Editor

Baseball has always been a great sport because of how in-volved the fans are during the game. However, with all of the incidents that have happened with the fans this year, is it time for changes to be made?

For those of you that do not know, on July 7, Shannon Stone, of Brownwood, Texas, died from injuries he sus-tained from falling out of the stands trying to catch a ball thrown to him by Texas Rang-ers All-Star outfi elder Josh Hamilton. Th en, on Saturday, another Rangers fan fell from the stands. Th e unidentifi ed 24-year-old was rushed to the hospital and as of Sunday eve-ning, no further information had been released.

On Sunday, Royals rookie fi rst baseman Eric Hosmer hit a foul ball into the crowd that hit a woman in the head. She received medical treatment and was taken to a medical room located at the stadium.

With all of these incidents, there are people that are start-ing to voice an opinion saying

that it is time for baseball to make some changes. Th e question is what can be done to help keep the fans stay safe while still allowing them to enjoy the game that they love.

Th e fi rst idea that is being suggested is to raise the rail-ing in the stands. Th e mini-mum railing height is 26 to 36 inches, which was established in 1929 by the International Building Code. When inter-viewed by ESPN, Robert Solo-mon, National Fire Protection Association Building Fire Protection and Life Safety di-vision manager, had a couple of explanations as to why this was. He explained that when this code was made, it was intended more for huge sym-phonies and not necessarily

baseball events. Even though these trag-

edies have occurred recently, he still believes that the rules are working.

“We start to pare back from that and look at the in-juries and the fatalities, those are small numbers,” he said. “Now in no way do I want to discount the death of even one person because that is, that’s something that we do want to look at, but there’s some-thing here where that rule has worked.”

Another idea is to extend the netting on the lower level of stadiums. Even this idea is having a lot of people argue about it.

When asked by the Asso-ciated Press what he thought they should do with the net-ting, Warren Spahn, outfi elder for the Minnesota Twins said he thinks they should move the netting.

“I defi nitely do think that they should have nets going further,” Spahn said.

He also suggested that all ballparks move the protective net “as far as the dugout.”

Th ere are a lot of people that see where Spahn is

coming from and do believe that there needs to be changes. However, Aaron Wakamatsu, who recently graduated from Willamette University College of Law, is not in agreement.

“I don’t believe baseball should extend the screen down the foul lines,” Waka-matsu said. He believes that extending the nets “will likely interfere with the game.”

With all of these instances happening in baseball, there is more of a debate on what, and if any changes, need to be made.

Th e people that do not want to make these changes believe it will ruin the integrity of the game. Some of these baseball stadiums have been around for a long time, and they be-lieve that changing them would ruin the tradition they represent.

Anytime that a tragedy like this happens, it always causes people to rethink the way things are structured and whether or not changes need to be made. Th is is sure to be a topic that gets discussed once the season is over, and it will be interesting to see what ex-actly happens.

Comedian uses humor to tackle serious subjectsSandi Lamstaff writer

“You just witnessed a Christmas miracle!” “I know I look homeless, okay?” “It’s hard to look hard when you’re opening a popsicle.” Th ese are some off -the-wall expressions that were heard from comedian Josh Blue, who performed at the Union Program Council Aft er Hours event on Friday night.

UPC workers were busy in the K-State Student Union as the crowd was beginning to form more than an hour before the free show was scheduled to begin at 10:30 p.m. Forum Hall was fi lled to capacity around 590 students and Blue drew such a large audience that there was overfl ow seating for about 350 watching from a projector screen in the Union Courtyard.

Blue, who was voted the Last Comic Standing on the NBC show in 2006, walked onstage sporting a blue polo with a meat grinder on the top left . Th e act began with jokes addressing his right arm, which is visibly aff ected by cerebral palsy, a disorder that causes

movement problems and even paraly-sis, usually from damage at the time of their birth. Jokes referencing his condi-tion continued throughout the hour-long performance. Blue kept the audi-ence laughing every few seconds during the show in which he recognized ste-reotypes of diff erent religious, cultural and social groups.

Blue shared some of his background, informing the audience that he was born in Africa, his wife is Japanese and endearingly referred to his infant daughter as a “ham baby.” Th e come-dian drew material for his jokes from his culturally diverse background while keeping the audience well-engaged and laughing.

Austin Robisch, a sophomore in re-gional and community planning, went to the event for his job with UPC but said, “I would have come even if I didn’t work for UPC. I’ve seen Josh Blue on Comedy Central and he was hilarious.”

Robisch enjoyed a particular moment during the show when a girl arrived late and Blue called her out, saying, “I have cerebral palsy, I’m not

blind.”While some comedians reuse mate-

rial in their shows, the material Blue used in his show was fresh. Joseph Shope, Manhattan resident, said he was a fan of Blue’s before the show and that he was surprised and pleased with all of Blue’s new material.

Aft er the show, there was a merchan-dise table set up and free pancakes for the audience provided by Denny’s. Blue stayed for about an hour to talk to fans. Blue said that the audience was spec-tacular and said it was nice to have his jokes being understood.

“It’s refreshing to come to a college that everyone is on the same page,” Blue said.

Robisch identifi ed that bringing his disability to light makes Blue stand out from many other comedians.

“He is able to laugh at himself and make others laugh too,” Robisch said.

Many of the jokes the comedian told during the performance recognized the diff erences between groups and it seems like he uses humor and his “off the cuff lifestyle” as a tool to break

down the barriers between them. Blue said the best way to educate is through humor.

“You don’t even know you’re learn-

ing, you’re just laughing. Comedy is a great defl ector,” Blue said. “No one can say anything to me that I haven’t already said worse to myself.”

Josh Blue performs for a packed Forum Hall Aug. 26. Blue was the winner of Last Comic Standing’s fourth season in 2006.
