Art supplies, illustrations, draw-ings, blank sheets of paper, canvases and art books fi ll Th omas Bookwal-ter’s offi ce in Willard Hall. A radio plays in the background, and a small laptop sits on an old-fashioned metal desk. Bookwalter grew up in Kansas, later moving to Waterloo, Iowa for 13 years and graduating from art school in Hollywood, Calif. To get away from the hectic Hollywood lifestyle, he returned to Manhattan to be the Department of Intercolle-giate Athletics’ graphic designer and to fulfi ll his own desire of teaching.

In 1988, K-State was searching for a new identity for its athletics de-partment. A new logo was requested that would signify harmony and the emerging capabilities of athletes. Bookwalter designed the purple Powercat, a dominant feature of K-State.

“Coach Snyder asked me to create a new logo for the football team, one that was contemporary and aggres-sive,” Bookwalter said in an email interview. “I had done a consider-able amount of illustration for other sports teams, i.e., San Diego Char-gers, Denver Broncos, Washington Redskins and a number of other teams. So, working with professional and college athletic teams is some-thing I enjoyed. When Coach asked me to create a new mark for his team, I was happy to do so.”

Th us, the purple Powercat was de-signed.

Bookwalter still takes pride and satisfaction in his work from nearly 25 years ago. Th e Powercat is so much more than just a purple logo. It is the identity of K-State, instantly recognized around the Midwest, but Bookwalter is much more than just the graphic designer who created the logo pasted on football helmets and basketball jerseys. He is more than just the “Powercat guy.”

Bookwalter has unintentionally been defi ned and labeled by the K-State Powercat. Articles have been published making him known as the “Powercat guy.” Th is is a label Book-walter has come to accept. As an in-tense football fan, Bookwalter gains personal satisfaction from seeing the Powercat on every K-State helmet. It is a high accomplishment for Book-walter because he admires college

football and K-State. However, he said he believes help-

ing art students gain knowledge and apply the techniques in acquiring a career is an even higher accom-plishment. For Bookwalter, being a K-State art instructor is much more gratifying than being the designer of the K-State Powercat.

Cole Drake, the 14-year-old Manhattan High student charged with fi rst-degree murder and aggravated rob-bery in the death of fellow stu-dent Tyler Dowling, will now wait until the end of September to learn if he will be tried as an adult in the case.

In the fi rst of what is ex-pected to be a number of court hearings to come, Riley County attorney Barry Wilkerson made a motion to have Drake tried as an adult. Judge David Stutzman scheduled a two-day certifi ca-tion hearing for Sept. 22 and 23. Evidence from both the pros-ecution and defense is expected to be presented.

Dowling’s body was found in a fi eld behind Eisenhower Middle School on April 13. A family member and some news reports allege Dowling was shot, but police will not confi rm any details about the death.

Th e case has captivated the town which caused what Riley County Police Department di-rector Brad Schoen called a “gossip fest.” At a recent Riley County Commission meeting he urged residents to assist the investigation and stop talking about the case or spreading in-formation through social media sites.

Drake’s next hearing date to address other motions made is Aug. 8. He is being held in the North Central Kansas Regional Juvenile Detention Facility in Geary County.

“Seussical the Musical” is a unique theatre experience.

It cannot be found in a box; it cannot be stopped by doors or locks. It has tons of fun with rhythm and rhyme, and actors and directors entering their prime.

“You fi nd yourself speaking in Seussical tones and rhymes as you work on the show over eight weeks,” said T-Shane Roberts, director of the musical, which opens tonight at the Manhattan Arts Center.

“Th e show is a collection of Dr. Seuss characters who all come together on a rare occa-sion to help out a universe full of people in trouble,” Roberts said.

Th e play features a cast of Dr. Seuss’s most famous characters, including the Cat in the Hat, Horton the Elephant, Yertle the Turtle and all the little Whos down in Whoville. Set to music, the show has a Seuss-like fl ow that Roberts thinks audiences will really enjoy.

“It’s a great crowd pleaser,” Roberts said. “It’s a family fun show. You want to bring your kids, but you also want to know that there is a bunch of stuff in

ARTFUL | Professor molds artistsContinued from page 1

there for adults too. You will walk away very excited for your children and reminiscing about your childhood.”

Th e musical has become one of the most performed shows in America, Roberts said, but the Manhattan show will have its own fl avor.

“’Seussical’ is supposed to be a very colorful show with very color-ful backgrounds, but with our show in the Manhat-tan Arts Center, I chose to let the characters, not their costumes, be the color,” he said.

Th e Manhattan Arts Center stage also presented an opportunity for a unique twist.

“We didn’t have the luxury of a stage that allowed us to create as much as ‘Seussical’ calls for, so we went with what they say at the very beginning of the script: ‘Less is more,’” Roberts said.

But less does not mean noth-ing.

“Don’t think you are not going to get every bit of Seuss,” he said. “We’ve got some out-standing stuff . Th ere are a lot of really nice pieces and every-

thing was made from scratch. Something as simple as a tree will be ‘Seussifi ed.’ Th e stage has a slide on it; lots of secret com-partments. It’s a two-layer stage which is something you don’t see a lot at the Manhattan Arts Center.”

Th e stage is not the only part of the show that Roberts touts

as excellent. Th e cast and crew feature 15 K-State students, and Roberts is not shy about expressing his belief that this cast is talented.

“I call this group my dream team. Sometimes when you leave a performance, two or three people stick out

in your head as outstanding, but somehow the stars aligned and I got a ton of star perform-ers,” Roberts said. “You will walk out saying, ‘Wow, everyone was amazing.’ It’s a director’s dream come true.”

Gil Perez, sophomore in the-atre performance and political science, plays the Cat in the Hat, a role he said he has enjoyed.

“Th e cat kind of drives the show,” Perez said. “It’s the kind of character you connect with

Dr. Seuss. He’s quirky and intel-ligent. He’s really energetic. It’s a fun show, a show that is going to keep the audience entertained. It’s very whimsical.”

Perez and Roberts both read Dr. Seuss books when they were young and were familiar with the author before the musical, but the opportunity to work every day in a “Seussifi ed” world broadened their understanding of Seuss’s works.

“I think I’ve realized how worldly Dr. Seuss’s words were,” Perez said. “When you read them when you are young, they have a completely diff erent con-notation. Now that I’m older, I’ve come to realize that he wrote to all age ranges. You just appreci-ate it in a diff erent way.”

Roberts, who has read Dr. Seuss books to his own children, agreed.

“I’ve learned that he has a great sense of humor and that his sense of humor is a little warped,” Roberts said. “If you pause and take the time to think about what his rhymes are all about, you’ll fi nd that you use them in everyday life, even as an adult.”

Working on “Seussical the Musical” brought a lot of the cast back to their childhoods, Rob-erts said, and the audience can expect to experience something similar.

“I’m going to make you think,” Bookwalter said to his illustrations class during an aft ernoon lecture.

In his class, he wore a loose button-up orange fl annel shirt with the sleeves rolled up, blue jeans and brown loaf-ers. He is not the stereotypical professor; Bookwalter seems far more casual.

He paced back and forth in front of his classroom,

rolling his eyeglasses gently in between his hands as if he couldn’t hold them still. He sat on the corner of the front lecture table and leaned back to listen and observe his stu-dents. He smiled every once in a while, listening to a grow-ing debate in his classroom about the students’ next proj-ect.

One by one at the front table, Bookwalter leaned in to talk with his students. He asked each student about his or her assigned sketches, picking their brains to know the thought process for every sketch drawn. Glasses on, he examined the techniques of the strokes and then sketched in the air with his hand as if drawing on a blank canvas. With strokes and circles, he gave pointers to students on techniques to improve their illustration. Bookwalter said it is important to analyze how the illustration will come to life and to be able to explain the drawing process.

Refl ecting back on his own sketching with an old fash-ioned pencil on paper, he said, “Th e computer doesn’t think, you have to think.”

According to Bookwalter, art is skillfully drawing and, with each stroke of the pencil, critically thinking of what the fi nal illustration should become.

Students have commented that Bookwalter is not afraid of giving his opinion about an

illustration. Students feel in-timidated aft er their fi rst en-counter with his criticism, but aft er the second, the criticism becomes insightful. Accord-ing to students, Bookwalter’s opinions and suggestions to make repairs are respected and applied.

Annelise Muret, senior in graphic design, said she once spent an entire weekend on one illustration assignment. She hated it and dreaded the progress the fi rst two days she worked on it. She was using a sketching technique she had never used before. Muret said the fi rst meeting with Book-walter changed her attitude about the illustration.

“Th is isn’t your best work, don’t you think?” Bookwalter asked her.

With guidance and a push of confi dence by Bookwalter, Muret fi nished the assign-ment and said it was by far her best illustration.

Receiving a student’s con-fession of turning in one of his or her best illustrations is more of an achievement to Bookwalter than seeing the Powercat displayed on a shirt or hat. A simple email saying, “Th anks for the advice” or asking for guidance is one of the greatest rewards of being an instructor, he said. Re-ceiving emails from students who are starting careers suc-cessfully is a manifestation. Bookwalter said he believes he’s teaching the right meth-ods. His students’ success is gratifying.

Bookwalter uses published illustrations from his 40-year career to give students an opportunity to analyze his displays and to relate the techniques he instructs in the classroom. When Bookwalter draws, he goes through the same thought process he asks his students to translate back to him in the classroom. His examples, from work done for clients like DuPont, the Air Force, John Deere, Kellogg’s, the NFL, Toyota, Anheuser Busch and American Airlines, prove his art students do not need to fear a life of minimum wage near-poverty.

“Starving artist” is not in Bookwalter’s vocabulary, nor will it ever be. Th e phrase is banned from class lectures. He makes a point to erase the idea from his students’ minds. According to Bookwalter, art is a career just as any other career in society, and the need to get paid must be a priority.

“You can love art, but don’t

do it for free,” Bookwalter said.

Society placed the “starv-ing artist” stereotype upon the art profession, he said. He encourages artists to perfect their illustration skills and to display themselves on their canvases. Bookwalter tells his students the stereotype should be transformed into a successful “can-do” attitude.

“You have to shoot your own food,” Bookwalter said to his students who are search-ing for jobs to start their own careers.

He explains this is a step-by-step process to hunt out options, to capture smaller jobs and to freelance when searching for that one abso-lute lifetime job. Th is is part of Bookwalter’s new “can-do” artist stereotype.

Freelancing, according to Bookwalter, is a start to any student’s desire in having a successful career in art. Book-walter’s freelancing has given him experiences and displays to be proud of. When talking to his students, Bookwalter tells them they have to build their own careers. Freelanc-ing, taking jobs that are not exactly what they want, net-working and observing oth-er’s illustrations will allow opportunities to open up and to gain experiences. Students need to share techniques and their talents with numerous companies and individuals as a step in their career process.

Bookwalter has indeed shot his own food for more than 40 years. He has gained experi-ences and shared his talents in his own step-by-step career process. His career was built by hunting out his options of designing magazine covers for American Airlines, illustra-tions for the Air Force, poster designs for DuPont and John Deere and, of course, design-ing the purple Powercat logo for K-State. Th ese steps have brought him satisfaction, gratitude, pride and several accomplishments.

One step in Bookwalter’s process was becoming known as the “Powercat guy.” Almost 25 years later, Bookwalter is still sometimes referred to as the “Powercat guy,” but, he is so much more. Bookwal-ter’s gratifi cation emerges far beyond and past his numbers of illustrations: It emerges from his illustration students. Bookwalter has found his one absolute lifetime job — an illustration instructor at K-State.

Student Senate will have a

short meeting tonight, said Nat-alie Rauth, speaker of Student Senate, but it will be an impor-tant meeting. Two resolutions will be introduced in support of city ordinances that the new city commission is trying to repeal, she said.

Th e fi rst ordinance that the former commission passed cre-ated a rental inspection pro-gram. Rauth said senators met with Tim Lindemuth, faculty senate representative, whom is on a rental inspection board. Th e purpose of the meeting was to determine how the program works and decide how it benefi ts students.

“We’re basically going to re-state our support for the rental inspection act,” Rauth said. “From what we’ve heard and seen, we don’t think it will be completely eliminated, but there will be major changes (from the commission).”

Th e second ordinance is the gender identity and sexual orientation discrimination or-dinance. Th is ordinance was passed in February aft er work began on it in August 2010. It was highly controversial, draw-ing strong support and opposi-tion from several factions within the community.

It was passed with a 3-2 vote by the former commission. Now, there are three new commis-sioners whom were elected this month. Th ey ran on a platforms of repealing both ordinances.

Unlike the rental inspection act, she said the commission is trying to completely eliminate the nondiscrimination ordi-nance.

Samuel Brinton, senior in

music and mechanical engineer-ing and former student senator, played an integral role in sup-port of the ordinance, and led SGA support. Rauth said Brin-ton and Kyle Reynolds, student senator, wrote the resolution in support of the ordinance.

Rauth said she does not an-ticipate a lot of negative debate at the meeting, but almost half of the senate is comprised of new members. Th erefore, there may be some questions about the resolutions and the ordinances. Both ordinances passed favor-ably in the previous senate term.

“I think everyone should be in support of them,” she said. “We just think it’s important to voice our opinions on these acts because both of these issues really aff ect students at K-State.”

Th ere will also be a commen-dation to the K-State Crops team for winning their national tour-nament.

Kynard, Krais expected to compete at weekend’s Drake RelaysPaul Harrissenior staff writer

K-State will participate in one of the oldest track and fi eld meets this upcoming weekend. According to godrakebulldogs.com, the offi cial athletic web-site of Drake University, around 7000 athletes are expected to compete this year in Des Moines, Iowa. Th e Drake Relays will start today and run through Saturday.

However, only a handful of those 7000 competing will be donned in royal purple.

“Typically, at the college uni-versity level, hundreds of schools are represented,” said K-State

head coach Cliff Rovelto. “It’s a huge meet. It’s a highly competi-tive meet. It’s the most competi-tive meet we go to outside of the conference meet.”

Rovelto said a majority of teams will be split since only a few athletes from each school qualify for the competition.

Sophomore Erik Kynard will be jumping for the fi rst time in two weeks. Th e last time he com-peted, Kynard won the Clyde Littlefi eld Texas Relays. Accord-ing to Rovelto, Kynard has high standards for himself.

“His expectation is to win,” Rovelto said. “He steps on the apron regardless of who is there

and who he is jumping against.Kynard may compete in the

collegiate high jump, or organiz-ers may ask for him to jump in the invitational, which will fea-ture post-collegiate athletes.

“Either competition he is in, he is going to face really good competition,” Rovelto said. “Re-gardless, his intention is to win the competition. Other good guys have the same intent. He is good as anyone in either of those competitions.”

Rovelto said if the weather does not cooperate, Kynard will be held out of the event.

Junior Ryann Krais was spectacular in last weekend’s

Kansas Relays. Th e UCLA trans-fer broke a 22-year-old school record during her 400-meter race and claimed the top spot in the 100-meter hurdles. Th e competition that Krais will face at the Drake Relays will be a step up from last weekend.

“She could run identical times [in the 100-meter hurdles] and I could almost guarantee you her winning time at Kansas will not be the winning time at Drake,” Rovelto said.

He said Krais’ times are ahead of where the coaching staff thought she would be.

“We knew she was really good,” Rovelto said. “Typically

it takes athletes a year or so to adjust to a new environment. She has not only gotten back to her previous best levels; she is now surpassing those.”

Krais will compete in a pleth-ora of events at the Drake Relays, including the 100 and 400-meter hurdles. She will also run a leg on the 4x800 meter relay.

Senior TiAra Walpool will participate in the women’s triple jump, while junior Nina Kokot will jump in the long jump.

Also on the women’s side, K-State will compete in the dis-tance medley relay, the shuttle hurdle relay, the 4x800 meter relay and the sprint medley relay.

Th e men will run in the 4x400 meter relay, sprint medley and the distance medley.

Another group of Wildcat track and fi eld athletes will make their way to Lincoln, Neb., in-cluding a few of those athletes competing at Drake. Rovelto said he expects 12 Wildcats to make their way to Lincoln this weekend, which will focus mainly on the fi eld events.

While Rovelto said he ex-pects his team to compete well at Drake and Lincoln, he said he just wants his athletes to be healthy for the upcoming Big 12 Conference Outdoor Champi-onships.

Men’s golf team fi nishes out tied for 11thTyler Scottsenior staff writer

Th e men’s golf team sat in a tie for 11th place with Iowa State at the end of the third round of competition in the Big 12 Championship at Prairie Dunes Country Club in Hutchinson, Kan. K-State shot a 40-over-par 320 in the fourth round,

bringing their overall score to 100-over-par 1220 and keeping the Wildcats tied at the bottom of the pack.

Oklahoma State, who is ranked No. 1 in the Big 12 and the country, took home its eighth conference champion-ship with a score of 19-over-par 1139. Texas A&M and Texas rounded out the top three, with

the Aggies carding a 32-over-par 1152 and the Longhorns hitting a 40-over-par 1160. In-state rival Kansas placed in ninth with a score of 76-over-par 1196.

Sophomore Curtis Yonke and freshman Th omas Birdsey were the top two individuals for the Wildcat team. Yonke carded a 22-over-par 302 and placed in a tie for 36th. Birdsey placed in a

tie for 39th and fi red a 23-over-par 303 for the tournament. In the fi nal round Birdsey also carded fi ve bogeys and three double bogeys.

Redshirt junior Kyle Smell also shot eight bogeys to round out the Wildcat lineup carding a 42-over-par 322 fi n-ishing in 59th place.

Oklahoma State’s Morgan Hoff man and Kevin Tway were the top two individuals overall in the tournament. Hoff man beat out Tway by fi ve strokes, scoring an even par 280 and fi ring a 3-over-par 73 in the fi nal round. Texas A&M’s Jordan Rus-sell placed third fi ring a 6-over-par 286. Oklahoma State’s Peter Uihlein, Texas Tech’s Chandler Rusk and Missouri’s Stuart Ball-ingall all tied for fourth place carding an 8-over-par 288.

Th e Wildcats will lose two members of the team next season as seniors Jason Schulte and Ross Geubelle will graduate.

Tennis to face Jayhawks in Big 12 TournamentStephanie Carrsports and multimedia editor

Th e No. 44 Wildcat tennis team handed the Kansas Jay-hawks their eighth Big 12 Con-ference loss in Lawrence last weekend to close out the regu-lar season. Th e in-state rivals will get a rematch today on the neutral ground of the Baylor Tennis Center in Waco, Texas, for the fi rst round of the Big 12 Tournament.

In the April 23 competition, the Wildcats started strong and swept the doubles competition to secure the point, improving their record to 12-0 when they earned fi rst blood on the board.

Freshman Petra Niedermay-erova continued her hot streak at the number one singles po-sition with her sixth straight win. Th is cemented the regular season conference title for Nie-dermayerova with a 9-2 record over Big 12 opponents in the top singles competition.

Sophomore Carmen Borau Ramos got her fi rst back-to-back singles win of the spring against the Jayhawks’ Dylan Windom. Sophomore Ana Gomez Aleman also improved her spring win streak to eight in a row against KU.

Th e 5-2 victory helped K-State to tie the school record for wins in a season with 15 and marked the most road wins since 2003 with six.

Th is is only the second time the Wildcats and Jayhawks have faced off in the fi rst round of the tournament. With their 6-5 record in league play, K-State earned the seventh seed in the tournament, which is their highest rank since 2006. Th e Jayhawks are seeded tenth.

According to kuatheltics.com, the Jayhawks want to use the recent loss to their advan-tage.

“We were so close this week-end with a couple of three-set-ters and the doubles matches that were tied,” said KU’s head coach, Amy Hall-Holt. “Know-ing who we’re playing against and having just seen them play, I think it could be to our ad-vantage.”

Th e fi rst round of competi-tion will begin at 10 a.m. today, with live results on baylorbears.com under women’s tennis. If the Wildcats advance, they will take on second seeded Texas on Friday.

Benefi ts of club sports

Many high school student athletes are

faced with the decision to come to col-lege and become a member of a varsity sport, or to retire as an athlete and focus on academics. What some don’t realize, however, are the opportunities they are given to partake in a club sport.

I played soccer all my life but was never the most athletic person. My decision to come to K-State was an easy one but I knew I would still want soccer to be a part of my life. Aft er I found out about the women’s club soccer team, I could not have been more excited and decided to try out within the fi rst few weeks of the fall semester. I immediately formed a bond with almost every girl on the team and quickly realized this was just what I needed to begin my college career.

Th e competitive nature of the club gave me the perfect balance of striving to do better and being able to laugh at myself when I messed up (which was on a regular basis). Even though I knew I was in no way an amazing Division I athlete, I knew that Monday through Wednesday night I could go to practice and still feel connected to the one sport I was convinced I could never quit. Th e women on the team are incredible ath-letes, some of which had the opportunity to play at the collegiate level but decided it wasn’t for them.

Whether it be rugby, rowing or soccer each has its own benefi t depend-ing on the interest of each individual. It taught me early on how to schedule my life around school, work, practice and games. I could no longer rely on my mom as my walking planner and real-ized it was time to be a big girl. If I had a test to study for, the president of the team always understood if I had to miss a practice.

Once you have had enough experi-ence a leadership role is almost always available. Th e structure and dedication of the club sports on campus vary, so I can’t speak for the entire campus. Whether it be the team captain or president, each role is responsible for assuring they do his or her best to keep the desire for competing and winning a necessity. Th e competitiveness is slightly more than the intramural sports, so each player has to be willing to travel to diff erence cities such as Lawrence or Boulder, Colo., to compete against other club teams that are driven to win.

Th ere is no fame or recognition when it comes to club sports, but if I had to choose between telling friends and family I gave up on sports or that I still kick a soccer ball around every now and then, I choose the latter.

K-State boat earns conference honors, “boat of the week”Stephanie Carrsports and multimedia editor

Conference USA hon-ored K-State’s 1st Varsity 8 for their work on the water as the league’s boat of the week on Wednesday.

Th e crew earned the honors based on their eff orts against the Jayhawks in the Kansas Cup at Wyandotte County Lake on April 28th. Going into the 1st Varsity 8 race, the fi nal race of the event, KU led K-State 6-5. Th e Wildcat’s top boat started off behind the Jayhawks, but came back to win by 11 sec-onds. Th e victory added eight points to K-State’s column, al-lowing them to defeat the Jay-

hawks 13-6 and take the cup back to Manhattan.

Th e Wildcat line up of red shirt senior Christa Bowman, redshirts juniors Hanna Wilt-fong, Amanda Weishaar, Anna Young, Traci Smiley and Ali Peters, redshirt sophomore Adria Ley and redshirt fresh-man Allison Dorau is coxed by redshirt junior Weatherly Butler.

K-State will head back to Wyandotte County Lake on Saturday to take on the Jay-hawks again. Th is time, the lake will have twice as many teams, as Texas and Oklahoma will be competing against the two Kansas teams for the Big 12 Championship trophy.

Andy Rao staff writer

Students and professionals fi led into the Town Hall Room at the Leadership Studies Building on Wednesday aft ernoon, as Car-gill Vice President Chuck Warta presented a seminar entitled “Building Lead-ership and Com-pany Culture in a Global Organiza-tion.” Th e semi-nar was a part of the K-State Col-lege of Business Administration Business Ethics Lecture Series, an eff ort to inform students about various topics in ethical business leadership.

Cargill is a major global pro-ducer and marketer of food, ag-ricultural, fi nancial and industrial products and services. Warta, who has a wide range of experiences in international management and marketing, has served as the vice president of Cargill Animal Nu-trition since 2006, running opera-tions in the United States, China, Malaysia and Th ailand.

Warta spoke of three specifi c challenges that Cargill faced: managing the world food supply, managing change within a global corporation and building a suc-cessful corporate culture. Th ese components, though separate, are interconnected and according to Warta are the main issues that Cargill regularly addresses.

As one of the global leaders in agribusiness and food produc-tion, Cargill aff ects many every day commodities such as grains, meats, sugars and even manufac-tured items such as infant formu-las, cake icing, coff ee sweeteners and eco-friendly bed foam.

With the world population increasing at an exponential rate, global companies such as Cargill sometimes struggle to meet the world’s consumer demands.

What’s more is that by 2050, the world population is predicted to reach 9 billion people, com-pared to the current population of 6.2 billion.

While the numbers may paint

a bleak picture, Warta says that companies must be ready to adjust to increasing demand.

“Although it seems like a gar-gantuan task to try and feed the world, it really is a lot simpler than most people think,” said Warta. According to Warta, a major factor of success is the ability to adapt to change.

Because Cargill is located in 66 diff erent countries and employs a little over 131,000 people in sev-

eral continents, it remains one of the top 25 Fortune 500 companies and has experienced steady growth. Th e autonomy that employees are given to address change allows them the freedom to provide cus-tomized service to their respective

communities, providing employ-ees with consistent leadership op-portunities.

“Your organization should be focused on not just having leaders at the top, but also having leaders within all ranks of the corporate structure,” said Warta. “Th is is the best way to ensure that everyone is held accountable and is capable of tackling change in the rapidly transforming global markets.”

Warta also spoke at length about the importance of building a company culture that allowed all employees to be actively en-gaged.

“At Cargill, we measure our success using four diff erent pa-rameters in this order: engaged employees, satisfi ed customers, enriched communities, profi t-able growth,” said Warta.

Th e focus, he said, should be on enabling employees to become passionate about their work, and giving them resources and guidance to aff ect change.

As Warta wrapped up his pre-sentation, he parted with words of advice for future entrepre-neurs and current business pro-fessionals.

“Your company culture is the set of values and beliefs that are practiced within your company,” he said. “Th e culture you build is ultimately your license to grow. Focus on what’s important, and make your culture your competi-tive advantage.”

Cargill spokesman speaks on businessKeep employees happy, help feed the world Andy Rao

staff writer “Break the silence, stop the

violence.”Th ese were the words that

were defi antly chanted on campus Wednesday evening as students banded together and marched against human traffi cking and domestic vio-lence.

Th e march, which was or-ganized by the Kappa Pi chap-ter of Alpha Kappa Alpha, a non-traditional sorority, began near the Derby Com-plex and concluded at the K-State Student Union.

Signs in hand, members of the sorority as well as friends and supporters of the cause, shouted their support to the victims of domestic abuse, and were escorted to the Union by two campus police squad cars to ensure walker safety.

Th e conclusion of the walk was followed by a short pro-gram, in which students were able to listen to stories, poems and statistics about domes-tic violence from keynote

speaker, Mary Todd, director of the Kansas State University Women’s Center.

Todd started the program by telling the story of one young K-Stater who had suf-fered through the atrocities of domestic violence. Aft er enduring over three months of physical, emotional and verbal abuse, this young woman was rescued and her abuser was expelled and jailed.

According to Todd, there are many causes to one of the most violent issues that the world faces today.

“Domestic violence is a way for perpetrators to take the edge off of a deep inferior-ity,” said Todd. “Th e violence is an epidemic.”

Studies and research con-ducted by the United States Surgeon General’s offi ce have determined that domestic violence is the leading cause of injury to women between the ages of 15 and 44, more common than automobile ac-cidents, muggings and cancer deaths combined.

Todd went on to explain that not only does domestic violence aff ect the women who are being physically and emotionally abused, but also aff ects the young children who are exposed to a violent environment at a young age. One-third of young children who grow up around domes-

tic violence will have p r o b l e m s with depres-sion, and an a d d i t i o n a l one-third will continue the cycle of abuse themselves.

As Todd talked about solutions to violence, she

explained that the attitude of the general public needs to undergo an evolution.

“Th ere are so many times that I have worked with people and they ask ‘Why didn’t she just leave?’” said Todd.

In many domestic violence environments, explained Todd, the abuse is so horrifi c that the victims are intimi-dated into staying. Leaving oft en prompts more violence, not only against the women, but sometimes against their

children as well.“Instead of blaming the

victims, focus on the abuser,” Todd said. “Ask ‘Why does he do it? And how can we stop it?’”

Aft er Todd concluded her presentation, additional poems and quotes were read, including a poem entitled “Domestic Violence” by Irish poet Eavan Boland.

As the program wrapped up, participants were given the chance to write an inspi-rational message to victims on balloons that were re-leased as a symbol of support.

Th e program ended on an optimistic note, as Ashley Cavazos, member of Alpha Kappa Alpha, said it is a step in the right direction.

“I know I can’t do it alone,” said Cavazos, sophomore in agricultural communications. “But I know that the more that we try the more support that we will get, and we will make a positive impact on the world.”

As participants watched their balloon messages sail across the sky, speaker Mary Todd shared some conclud-ing words of wisdom.

“Everything will be all right in the end,” she said. “If it isn’t all right, it’s not the end.”

Flying frisbees, fl avorful

food, and friendly conversa-tions greeted one to the 2nd Annual International Buddies Picnic/Potluck at the city park on Wednesday evening. Th is event happens once every year during the spring semester and was started last year.

“Th is is the fi rst time the leadership is being given to students” said Tanmay Varma sophomore in Computer Sci-ence and the President of In-ternational Buddies.

“We will have foods and outdoor games for people that

stick around” said Kelley. Th e idea of the potluck is to

give the students a taste of the diff erent cuisines both literally and fi guratively according to Caitlyn Kelley, International Program Coordinator.

“Th is is a good time to ex-perience food prepared by diff erent people from other countries” Kelley said.

Most of the buddy pairs came to the potluck with a food item from their native culture. Hence there was food from diff erent parts of the world. Th e countries rep-resented mostly were India, China and USA.

Th e students got a taste of a variety of food items from dif-ferent countries.

“I liked the jell-o because my girlfriend made it” said Clinton David Beasterfeld in

Civil Engineering. Th e diff erent foods were a

hit with all the students. “I liked the Biriyani and

brownies,” said Maryam Al-hendi freshman in architec-tural Engineering.

Some students made their own food, but others brought stuff from home.

“I asked my dad to make something” said Anjana Paul a resident of Manhattan who was there with her Interna-tional Buddy Shu Dar, sopho-more in Chemistry. Paul had brought with her an Indian entrée made from chickpeas and potatoes.

Th e crowd was upbeat al-though the weather could have been a lot better.

“It is so cold but it is good” said Sarah Alkharji Sopho-more in Architectural Engi-

neering. Alhendi the city park was a

good location for the potluck. “I was excited to see the

people show up with their buddy pairs” said Kelley noting that this was a fi rst. Kelley agreed that better weather would have drawn a bigger crowd. “We can always have more people” Kelley said.

Th e events like the Inter-national buddy picnic foster healthy friendships among the students.

“It is an event open to all and you can always bring friends” said Varma who brought four students who were not yet part of the buddy program to the potluck. Most students hung back aft er the food to play some Frisbee or soccer despite the chilly weather.

Everybody puts up with certain things in life on a daily basis. Th ere are the little things that are not usually a big deal, but then there are the other things that end up putting one’s nerves on edge more oft en. Here are 10 infamous pet peeves I see on a daily basis that make my blood boil.

1. Loud chewersIt might sound silly, but I just

cannot stand the sound of food being masticated in anybody’s mouth. Learning to chew silently and with your mouth closed is taught in kindergarten.

2. Parking spot thievesHave you ever had someone

swift ly steal your parking spot? When you patiently wait in your car for a car to pull out of a parking spot so you can take it and, just as the car backs out, someone steals the spot from you? Th e word is “courtesy,” and it is a very good virtue to have.

3. Loud peopleIt is one thing to be eloquent

and assertive, but being ob-noxious and loud is completely diff erent. Th ese people are loud for no apparent reason and at too many decibels. By the time you manage to meander your way out of the situation, all you are left with is a headache.

4. Bad oral hygiene I cannot stand people with

bad breath. I’m not being a hypocrite; I make sure my breath doesn’t smell. It’s even worse when the person doesn’t realize his or her breath smells and stands close to you while in a conversation. A person cannot hold their breath for very long.

5. SpittingSpitting on the streets or

sidewalks is just plain disgust-ing, not to mention unhygienic.

6. Bad coff eeI don’t experiment when it

comes to coff ee. I love it, so I stick to the basics. Th is is why it gets to me when people don’t make it right. What is the point in having a caramel macchiato from Starbucks if it is going to be served to you cold and chunky? What is the point in having a white chocolate mocha when it is more bitter than it is sweet?

7. Condescending peopleI hate when people act like

I am dumb. Have you ever been in a situation where you couldn’t understand the person talking to you because either they spoke too fast, or you got distracted for a second? And then when you ask the person to repeat the statement, they speak in slow motion or sign language, like you don’t under-

As busy college students, between balancing classes, group projects, working and studying, it is easy to forget the things that make us the happiest - the hobbies or ac-tivities. Jonathan Cole is one K-State student who is taking time to pursue his passion.

As a senior in market-ing, an employee of Caribou Coffee at the K-State Student Union and guitar player and singer in the band Kiss and Tell, days are consistently busy for Cole. However, he said even if he doesn’t have a lot of downtime, playing the guitar is such a joy of his that it serves as a release from any stress built up over a busy week.

Cole said it is important to follow your dreams, and even if he chose a different path with his education, marketing has actually come in handy when dealing with the busi-ness side of entertainment. With a marketing major, he is better equipped to handle promotion companies, help distribute their music nation-ally and handle various man-agers and venues. He said his

family is very supportive be-cause they have experienced him being in a band since high school so they know the dedication it requires.

When the band is prepar-ing for a weekend concert in another city, they will meet up two to three times a week for one to two hours of prac-tice. If the show takes place on a Friday, they will leave Manhattan by 5 p.m., start loading in equipment behind the stage around 7 or 8 p.m., and play around 10 p.m. They will stay until the bar closes, load up their 15-passenger van, fully loaded with a TV and Xbox instead of middle seats, and leave around two or three in the morning. The band will drive straight back to Manhattan to avoid paying for a hotel, arriving around 5 a.m.

“It takes a lot out of you for the rest of the day,” Cole said. “But it’s what we love to do, and although we are putting more money into the band than we are making right now, that is not the point. It’s worth the risk.”

Cole said he has a great support system in addition to being surrounded by his best friends in the band.

“My dad always tells us to turn the drums down,” Cole said. “But they could not be happier for us. Whether or not they like our genre of music, they come out to our shows every once in a while to support us. With all the progress we have recently had, soon having nearly 20 songs on iTunes, they are just as excited as we are.”

“Relationship-wise, I am with someone who is very un-derstanding about me being in a band and with every-thing I have to do for it,” Cole said. “We have both learned to adapt to each other’s busy schedules.”

Lauren Perez, senior in theater and Cole’s girlfriend, said, “We are both artists in our own way, so all of the long hours and hard work that result in us not seeing each other for extended peri-ods of time is respected and understood.”

Kiss and Tell’s first tour was across the Midwest, with shows in cities throughout Kansas, Missouri, Arkansas, Nebraska, Illinois, Iowa, and Oklahoma. The next summer the band embarked on their second tour, which lasted one month. They stayed in

a hotel for only one night, find-ing many a nights’ sleep on the floors of friends’ houses. They played in Las Vegas, Cal-ifornia and Arizona. After driving to St. Louis for a concert one night and being told upon arrival the place was “too shady” for them to play, they continued down the road to another show out west.

“We played at a punk bar in Colorado Springs where they did not like our style of music,” Cole said. “So, the crowd kept yelling while we played, then they started throwing ice at us on stage. That was the worst thing we have had to deal with, with the exception of our amp frying in the middle of a

show.”Cole said his inspira-

tion for getting into music is his older brother, Frank. Two and a half years his senior, Frank was always introducing new music to the family.

“Eventually I got into ‘80s music,” Cole said. “Thanks to

BLOGSCHOOLSandi Lamstaff writer

Remember when Xanga was the go-to spot online? Th e web-site is an example of how blog-ging is not a new concept, but is one that has been around and is increasing in popularity. Nowa-days, blogging is used for more than recreational purposes - it is being utilized for educational purposes in college classrooms.

Students studying journal-ism and mass communications may fi nd themselves setting up an online blog for a class. Kime-tris Baltrip, assistant professor of journalism and mass com-munications, said she requires it for her Mass Communica-tions and Society course.

Baltrip said, “It is used as a way to get students exposed to what blogging is, what it feels like and generate a discipline for blogging.”

She said the purpose of the blog is not to gain social status and attain a large following of readers but to become familiar with the journalistic aspects of

the process and maintenance of a blog.

Th e blog also allows the stu-dents to share ideas with one another.

“Blogging is a way for stu-dents to interact and discuss course topics,” Baltrip said. “It is a way to build virtual classroom participation and feedback.”

She said she plans to use blogging as a tool in the class-room as long as it is relevant.

“Th ings are changing and if blogs fade too quickly to the yesteryears, I will move on to the next thing,” Baltrip said.

Th e relevance of blogging is apparent in Baltrip’s class since it is becoming a major form of communication, but the prac-tice’s usefulness is not limited to journalism. Laurel Johnston, junior in architecture, shared her experience in blogging for her architectural studio class.

She said that last semester in studio class, the students had real clients for a project - a couple. To share their design ideas with the couple, who could not be around all the

time, the class managed a blog. “We uploaded sketches,

Google Sketchup models and CAD drawings to the blog,” Johnston said.

Not only was the blog a tool for communication between the studio and the clients, it was recommended to the class for professional reasons.

“Th e architect working on the project said that it is a good idea to keep a blog - informa-tion is easy to fi nd and every-thing is organized,” Johnston said.

She said the architect told the class he got his job as a result of keeping a blog with his design projects.

Blogging provides a way to express and receive ideas and opinions with the world. Th e practice is widening its poten-tial by being recommended in the classrooms of higher edu-cation. Th e benefi ts of utilizing blogs as an educational tool are being recognized - as long as they are popular with the world, they will be popular within classrooms.

Blogging becomes educational toolBalasubramanyn

MUSIC | Student juggles school, band

Continued from page 6

artists like Van Halen, Aero-smith, and Joe Perry, I got my motivation to learn how to play the guitar.”

With Chase Peterson as an-other guitar player and main singer for the band, Jason Adams on keyboard, and Jonny Welch as the drummer, Cole

said they are optimistic about their future. After playing to-gether for three years, every-one in the band puts it as a top priority, which is the reason for their escalating success, he said. He also said most of their shows take place at the Kat-House Lounge in Aggieville.

Cole said his plans for the summer are to move wherever

the band can play the most, in addition to finding a full-time job. The band plans on going on another tour in June and has decided to stick together. When speaking of the future, Cole said he would work his marketing degree to his ad-vantage by becoming more in-volved with the business side of music.

stand the English lan-guage? Children start going to school and learning English at three years old in India, folks.

8. False assumptions about a person’s nationality

Is it not an insult for someone to assume any person is a native of some country other than his or her own? Th at’s how it is for me. I am Indian, and I am proud. It is understand-able that anyone can get their geography incorrect sometimes, and Indians may be a diffi cult group of

people to place on a map. In that case it’s probably wiser to ask rather than make an assumption.

9. SmokersNo off ense to any smok-

ers who may be reading this - it is your right to fi ll your lungs with smoke if you choose to - but smoking is an instant turnoff for me. I am OK with the consider-ate smokers who choose not to smoke when others are around or who are at least courteous enough to blow the smoke away from the direction of other people. But those who blow the smoke right in my face are

the ones that instantly get on my nerves.

10. NarcissistsI can never have a con-

versation lasting more than a minute with people who speak about themselves and nothing else. I am a selfi sh man in a selfi sh world. I don’t care for people that don’t care for me back. So naturally, the self-obsessed individuals make my ignore list.
