A group of costumed students await the start of the 10th annual Homecoming 5k race on Sunday, which began and ended near the K-State Alumni Center.

The Alpha Kappa Psi business fraternity held their annual Scrab-ble Run fundraiser this Saturday in Aggieville. The group sold Scrabble game cards from a table outside of Varney’s Book Store, and contes-tants collected letter tiles to try to form the highest scoring word.

“Essentially, there are five busi-nesses around Aggieville that have tables set up, and [participants] draw one or two letters at each one,” said Rachael Jensen, member of AKPsi and senior in marketing and general management, who volunteered at the event. “Then, at the end, you turn in your game card, and the highest score wins.”

According to Jensen, this is the first year AKPsi has held a scrabble run, after finding that the poker runs (similar in format to a scrab-ble run, with playing cards instead of letter tiles) they held in past years were considered gambling under Kansas state law.

Caitlin Estes, member of AKPsi and senior in accounting, who planned the fundraiser, said that the event raises money for a scholarship in memory of AKPsi member Rebecca Trible, who was killed in a car accident in her hometown in 2007.

“We do an event every year to raise money for the scholarship,” Estes said, adding that the schol-arship is awarded annually to an AKPsi student. “We’re in our sixth year. I didn’t know what to expect, but I think there’s been a pretty good turnout. Better than last year, at least, and we’re hoping for even better next year.”

For Allison Olive, senior in fi-nance and accounting, who par-ticipated in the fundraiser on Saturday, the event holds an even deeper meaning. Olive was in-volved in a rollover car accident last year similar to the one that took Trible’s life, and suffered a spinal cord injury that has left her wheelchair bound.

“I was on the 77 coming back [to Manhattan], and rolled my car seven times,” Olive said. “I’m lucky to be here. She didn’t get that lucky.”

Olive said she has participated in the fundraiser since her fresh-man year.

“I think it’s a really important cause,” Olive said. “It’s a great thing to be able to raise money for.”

She said she was happy with the letters she drew Saturday, forming the word “sowable” for 12 points.

“My letters turned out okay,” Olive said. “I got 12 points and I think the highest is 13, so we will see how it goes.”

The highest scoring word of the day was “piquets,” which tallied 18 points and earned the student who played it the grand prize of a Kindle Fire.

A fi re truck, ambulance and sev-eral K-State police offi cers were called to the corner of Petticoat Lane and Manhattan Avenue on Friday afternoon.

A vehicle-bicycle accident oc-curred at about 3:45 p.m. when a car heading north on Manhattan Avenue misjudged the speed of an oncoming bicycle. e vehicle turned onto Petticoat Lane and struck the bicyclist.

Tom Fletcher, senior in criminol-ogy, was walking along Manhattan Avenue when he heard the collision and reported the accident.

“ ere was defi nitely a sound,” Fletcher said. “I knew something happened.”

Fletcher said he then walked around the corner to Ratone Street where he knew there was a police offi cer.

A K-State Police offi cer on the scene said that the injuries were not life threatening, but was unsure of exactly how severe the student’s in-juries might be.

No further details were available.

Homecoming week offi cially began on Sunday with the 10th annual Homecoming 5k race. All the proceeds of the race benefi t-ed the Anthony Bates Founda-tion. e organization’s mission is to establish a nationwide heart screening program for youth.

“It was fun to see the college community participate in one event together and a great way to begin one of the biggest weeks all year,” said David Glenski, junior in fi nance and accounting.

Many community members participated in the race as well.

“It’s really great to see so many people in the Manhttan com-munity involved in this event,” said Brenna Ford, junior in com-munication studies. “Also, what a beautiful day for a race.”

e 5k course went through

the K-State campus, beginning and ending near the K-State Alumni Center. Line up began at 9:45 a.m., and the race began at 10 a.m. Race packets cost from $17-$25.

“As a 5k volunteer, it was fun seeing everyone come out, es-pecially the people who came dressed in costumes. It made it very entertaining,” said Julie Per-rini, junior in athletic training.

e race also acted as enter-tainment for new students.

“ is was a good way to get the week started,” said Kathleen Ra-jewski, freshman in accounting. “As a freshman, I really enjoyed the fi rst event of the homecom-ing week.”

Homecoming week events continue on Monday with the K-State Alumni Center 10th An-niversary Open House from 2-7 p.m. and Pant the Chant at Bram-lage Coliseum at 8 p.m.

LUCKY NUMBER 7COLLIN KLEIN SCORES 7 TOTAL TOUCHDOWNS, WILDCATS MOVE TO 7-0 ON THE SEASON

John Zetmeirstaff writer

Saturday night, for the third time in seven games, the then-No. 4 K-State Wildcats went on the road and beat a BCS top-25 team when they defeated the then-No. 13 West Virginia Moun-taineers 55-14.

e Wildcats moved to 7-0 and 4-0 in Big 12 Conference play and are now sitting at the top of the conference as the only unde-

feated team. e victory gave K-State slight

edge over Oregon University in the BCS standings, as they moved up to No. 3 in the polls on Sunday night.

“I was certainly pleased with it,” said head coach Bill Snyder of the victory. “I was pleased with the way our youngsters ap-proached the ballgame and how they traveled and kept their focus. We played well. We made mis-takes and need to get better, but

collectively, I think we did a nice job.”

From the opening kickoff , it was clear that it was going to be K-State’s day. e Wildcats were held to a fi eld goal on their fi rst possession, but found the end zone with 3:33 left in the fi rst quarter when senior quarter-back Collin Klein hit sophomore wide receiver Tyler Lockett for a 10-yard touchdown pass. Klein then scored rushing touchdowns on each of the Wildcats’ next two

possessions.It was not just the off ense,

however, that was sharp in Sat-urday’s game; K-State’s defense did not allow an off ensive touch-down to West Virginia’s high-powered off ense in the fi rst three quarters of the game.

by senior wide receiver Tavon Austin. But after that high point for the Mountaineers, the Wildcats did not allow them to gain any momentum, capping off a 78-yard drive down the fi eld with another Klein touchdown run. e Wildcats took a 31-7 lead into halftime.

On West Virginia’s fi rst pos-session of the second half, senior quarterback Geno Smith did something that he had not done all season when he threw an interception to K-State senior linebacker Arthur Brown. Klein would fi nd senior wide receiver Chris Harper two plays later for a 21-yard touchdown pass.

“It was a great team eff ort that didn’t just come by me,” Brown said of the interception. “We had great pressure ap-plied by the D-line and great coverage in the back end that allowed that play to happen.”

After forcing West Virginia to punt out of their own end zone on their very next pos-session, the Wildcats added another Klein touchdown to give them a 45-7 lead.

On West Virginia’s next possession, junior safety Ty Zimmerman was the second player to intercept Smith both in the game and in the season.

“It’s a big win against a very, very talented team,” Zimmer-

man said. “We knew coming in that Geno and his weapons could score as quick as they could. Our off ense did a great job of controlling the game.”

K-State added another touchdown in the third quar-ter on a 20-yard touchdown

pass from Klein to Lockett. e Wildcats took a 52-7 lead into the fourth quarter.

e Mountaineers scored their only off ensive touch-down of the night when Smith found Austin for a 5-yard touchdown pass with 7:31 left

in the fourth quarter.K-State would add a 42-

yard fi eld goal late in the fourth quarter to fi nalize the scoring.

ere was a lot of pre-game talk that this game could decide the new Heis-man trophy leader between

K-State’s Klein and West Vir-ginia’s Smith; after the game, however, Klein came out on top.

Despite having a general reputation as a run-fi rst quar-terback, Klein showed he was quite capable of throwing as well, completing 19 of 21 passes for 323 yards and three touchdowns. Klein was also able to add 41 yards on the ground and four touchdowns. One important statistic that Heisman voters will notice is Klein’s zero turnovers on the day.

“He doesn’t do anything wrong. He doesn’t make mis-takes,” said West Virginia head coach Dana Holgorsen. “He’s hard to tackle; he gets in good plays and doesn’t turn the ball over. You can say what you want about his throwing motion, but it goes exactly where he wants it to go. He is a good football player.”

For the second straight week, Smith looked disap-pointing after being consid-ered the clear front-runner for the Heisman. Against the Wildcats, Smith completed 21 of 32 passes for 143 yards, and had one touchdown and two interceptions.

Next Saturday, K-State will return home to take on the now 14th ranked Texas Tech Red Raiders at Bill Snyder Family Stadium.

Grading the game: K-State versus West VirginiaFOOTBALL

Offense: A+There just aren’t quite

enough words to describe the Wildcats’ complete dismantling of West Virginia on Saturday night. With an opportunity to secure its position as a national championship contender and to move Collin Klein to the top of the Heisman rankings, K-State capitalized in a big way.

The scoring began and was capped off with Anthony Cantele field goals, but the lack of two touchdowns does little to water down what the Wildcats accomplished. Collin Klein took full authority of the field and picked apart a Mountaineer

secondary that was left reeling following two straight weeks of Heisman-like numbers from the opposition’s quarterback, senior Geno Smith. Klein accounted for seven touchdowns, four rushing and three passing.

Klein’s support was strong from all areas of the offense but none more than wide receiver Tyler Lockett. The sophomore was the main beneficiary of Klein’s performance, scoring twice on 194 yards receiving.

The victory gave head coach Bill Snyder plenty to be happy about.

“I was certainly pleased with it,” Snyder said. “I was pleased with the way our youngsters approached the ballgame and traveled and kept their focus. We played well.”

Defense: A+The bulk of the conversation

heading into game was not if the Wildcats’ could slow West Virginia quarterback Geno Smith, but if they could force enough

turnovers to give them an edge. The turnovers were there but had little impact on the overall standing of the game.

K-State had Smith’s number for a large majority of the game, holding the Mountaineer quarterback to a season low of 143 yards passing. Although K-State won the turnover battle, the significance of the game’s two turnovers came from the fact that they were Smith’s first two of the season and not for their impact on the game. The two interceptions were the first two from Smith in over 270 pass completions, an NCAA FBS record.

Junior defensive back Ty Zimmerman had his fourth interception in as many games and continues to build upon his strongest season as a Wildcat. The interception streak is also the longest in Snyder’s K-State tenure.

West Virginia head coach Dana Holgorsen said Smith was not the only one pressing early in

the game.“He was, and we all were,”

Holgorsen said. “We talked about it all week. ‘Don’t get impatient. Don’t get impatient.’ You have the ball a couple of times, and you look up there and you’re down 17 points. You start pressing. It’s inevitable. We were trying to score 14 points in one play. That is just not very good offensive football. You can’t have that mindset.”

Special teams: BOther than kickoff coverage,

Saturday night gave about the smallest sample size of special teams one can see in a football game. Kicker Anthony Cantele continues to impress this season, converting on both of his field goal attempts. The senior has only missed one field goal out of 10 attempted this season.

West Virginia’s Tavon Austin was mentioned throughout the week leading up to the game and rightfully so. The senior held a comfortable lead in all-

purpose yards in the Big 12, and it will continue to grow after a 100-yard kickoff return in the second quarter. K-State had not allowed a punt or kickoff return for a touchdown since the Cotton Bowl last season, and it will be essential to continue to limit the opposition’s impact on returns.

Quote of the night:“What do you want me to

change? We played somewhere in the neighborhood of probably 30 players on defense. They are what we got. We’re going to focus hard on them, especially with all the young guys we have. I look out there on several different occasions and saw eight or nine freshmen out there. Those guys will get better and we’ll keep coaching them hard.”—WVU head coach Dana Holgorsen on West Virginia’s continuing defensive struggles.

e K-State volleyball team beat Texas Tech in fi ve sets on Saturday with scores of 25-13, 25-14, 20-25, 23-25 and 15-9. e Cats overcame two set losses to the Red Raiders and won the fi nal fi fth set to move to 18-3 overall, 5-3 in the Big 12 Confer-ence, while the Red Raiders moved to 12-12, 1-7 Big 12.

“We played really well in the fi rst couple. I thought we were a little fl at,” said head coach Suzie Fritz. “I didn’t really like our, the culture if you will, of the team even from the very beginning, but I thought we were playing well. We were fi nding ways to score points even though it wasn’t coming very easy.”

Fritz further discussed the dropping of the third and fourth sets, and her shared responsibility for those losses.

“I made some personnel changes in the third in hopes that we could get some people some time, and we kind of lost our rhythm in there and it took us a little while to get it back,” she said. “And I take some responsibility for that. We were up 2-0; we were playing well enough. I felt like we could do some things, and it’s disruptive when you do that — it’s generally disrup-tive.”

Fritz noted that an element of fun in the game is essential for the Wildcats to play well. She said that it might have been a bit lacking during

Saturday’s game.“I didn’t think we were coming

together. I didn’t think we looked loose,” Fritz said. “ is team plays really well when they’re having fun playing vol-leyball, and it’s a lot of work. What we do is a lot of work. You get to mid-October and you’re grinding it out pretty good and you forget sometimes that playing volleyball is supposed to be fun when you do it.”

Junior middle blocker Kaitlynn Pelger had 18 kills, while senior middle blocker Alex Muff had 17 kills and hit .593 with seven blocking assists. Junior outside hitter Lilla Porubek added 11 kills to help the Wildcats to a victory in Ahearn Field House. For the Red Raiders, freshman outside hitter Meghan Stacy had 19 kills, while sophomore outside hitter Breeann David had 12 kills.

“I thought that Caitlyn Donahue set me tremendously today, and I thought we were in really good rhythm, and I think that’s something that helped me a lot,”

Athletes of the weekMark Kernsports editor

We are getting to the point in the fall sports seasons when play-ers must step up and help their teams get victories. Here is a look at the K-State athletes who stood out during the past week.

Collin Klein: Entering a matchup of the top

two Heisman candidates, senior quarterback Klein had a key op-portunity to make big plays and show what he could do on Satur-day. at is exactly what he did, fi nishing with 364 yards and seven total touchdowns in the Wildcats 55-14 rout over the Mountaineers of West Virginia. On the season, Klein has thrown for 1,397 yards and 10 touchdowns, while rushing for 551 yards and 14 touchdowns to lead the No. 3 Wildcats to their second consecutive 7-0 start.

Tyler Lockett: Wide receiver Lockett and

Collin Klein put on a show in Mor-gantown, as Lockett fi nished with 194 yards and two touchdowns on nine catches. Lockett was con-stantly able to beat the Mountain-eers’ secondary with his speed and was also an important factor in the return game. Lockett, the son of former K-State star Kevin Lockett, is one of the most explo-sive players in the country and has the ability to score any time he gets the ball. Look for more big plays out of the sophomore this season.

Alex Muff:Muff continued her strong play

on Saturday with a career high 17 kills in the Wildcats’ victory over the Texas Tech Red Raiders. In the Wildcats’ past four matches, Muff has reached double fi gures in kills while also playing great defense at the net. e senior middle blocker is currently third in the Big 12 with 1.41 blocks per set and is a key for the Wildcats 18-3 start.

Kali Yates: e Wildcats’ equestrian team

is rolling after defeating South Dakota State 13-6 for their fi fth consecutive victory on Saturday. A huge part of that success has been the performance of senior Kali Yates, who won her 26th career match against the Jack Rabbits, and earned her fi rst most outstanding player award of the season in Equitation over Fences. On the season, Yates is 8-1 and has played a pivotal role in the Wildcats’ great start to the season.

Petra Niedermayerova- e junior tennis player par-

ticipated in Tulsa at the ITA Re-gional in both singles and doubles play. Teaming up with freshman Ivana Kubickova, Petra Nieder-mayerova advanced to the fi nals to face Samantha Vickers and Isaura Enrique of Tulsa today.In singles play, Niedermayerova moved on the the fi nals as well. Niedermayerova is inching closer to receiving an at-large bid at the 2012 UTSA/ITA National Indoor Intercollegiate Championships.

opinion

In September, a YouTube video sparked a bit of controversy. A 14-minute trailer called “ e Innocence of Muslims” depicted Muhammad in a manner that was, shall we say, “unfavorable.”

e Muslim world didn’t take it too well, and various angry mobs, always willing to react at the ap-propriate scale, launched protests and violently stormed American embassies in Sudan, Tunisia, Egypt and Libya. According to a Sept. 18 article by CNN, more than 50 people around the world had been

killed “in violence linked to protests against the low-budget movie.”

In late September, Algeria’s foreign minister called on the United Nations to put a stop to hate speech directed toward the prophet. Other leaders, including the presidents of Egypt and Yemen, have echoed the call. In a speech to the General Assembly, the foreign minister of Malaysia asked why, “when Muslims are stigmatized and defamed, it is defended as ‘freedom of expression?’”

A lot of the debate seems to center around the diff erence be-tween free speech and hate speech. ose who favor a ban on the deni-gration of Muhammad argue that speech intended to insult others’ deeply held beliefs or to provoke outrage ought not to be protected. e basic argument might sound fa-miliar to Americans, and especially Kansans, who have heard similar points made in the debate over

the protests of the Topeka-based Westboro Baptist Church.

While I can sympathize with the position of Muslim countries where outrages are major political issues, I don’t see this argument as a convincing reason to restrict free speech. e massive outrage in these countries resulting from a 14-minute video is a symptom of much larger problems in the world than a lack of politeness on YouTube.

I don’t think the YouTube video itself was truly the source of all the rioting. Similarly, I doubt the 2005 incident surrounding cartoons of Muhammad in a Danish newspa-per or the fatwa against Salman Rushdie in 1988 had much to do with their supposed targets. None of these instigators would have ever been seen or read by more than a handful of people without the outrage surrounding them. How many of us had even heard of “ e Innocence of Muslims” before the

protests about it?Rather than being the product

of genuine anger, Rushdie has criticized the outrages as “care-fully manufactured.” Where anti-Western sentiment is a prominent political force, it can be conjured and manipulated by those in power in order to fi re up the troops for a power play. A short YouTube fi lm doesn’t start riots, but a widespread fear that the Western world is out to take down Islam might do the trick.

Even if we were to restrict speech that denigrates Muhammad for the sake of promoting peace, we’re not attacking the much more prudent problem of the divide between the Muslim world and the Western world. It’s a classic case of treating the symptoms and not the disease.

In an interview with Fareed Zakaria, Rushdie called the riots a result of an “insecurity of culture” in the Muslim world. Secure cultures,

he said, don’t have to throw a fi t every time someone criticizes them, but the insecurity of the Muslim world and their sensitivity to insults makes these riots pos-sible. It’s easy for them to be inse-cure about their own culture’s place in the world when their leaders are painting America as “the Great Satan” and constantly sounding the alarm of a cultural invasion just over the horizon.

As President Obama told the U.N., the greatest weapon against the consequences of hate speech “isn’t repression. It is more speech.” Until those in the Muslim world stop seeing the West as their existential enemy, more riots will happen and more embassies will be raided, whether there are Muham-mad cartoons or not.

is month, there have been some developments in the eviden-tiary hearings concerning James Holmes, the suspect in the July 20 shooting in Aurora, Colo. On Oct. 3, his defense team fi led a motion that the defendant’s rights had been infringed upon by the leak of an updated mug shot.

e new booking photo is in stark contrast to the expression Holmes had in his original photo. Instead of the bright red hair and empty expression, Holmes now looks much more alert with his eyes wide open, his head shaved and eyes that appear to be bloodshot.

His defense team said that this photo, released after the judge issued a gag order on the pre-trial events, prevents Holmes from having an impartial jury, and thus a fair trial. ey also questioned the motive behind the release of the pic-ture and the means by which it was distributed to the Associated Press. at hearing was scheduled for last week but has been postponed.

When it comes down to it, does this act violate Holmes’ right to a fair trial? I myself am wondering how the defense team could not know how and when their defendant had booking photos taken. e fact remains, however, that the court issued a gag order over the pre-trial hearings and, according to the As-sociated Press, the photos were

attributed to the Arapahoe County Sheriff ’s Department, the agency overseeing the shooting investiga-tion.

I don’t know if the photos war-rant a mistrial, namely because I don’t see incriminating evidence in the photo that implicates Holmes. If anything, I think that these photos could add to speculation that Holmes is indeed mentally ill, as his expression seems to refl ect that.

at being said, it is unsettling that the judge’s direct order was violated. e whole thing is remi-niscent of the Time magazine cover featuring O.J. Simpson’s mugshot before his 1994 murder trial, in which the color saturation of the photo was removed, making Simp-son’s skin appear darker, and his demeanor more menacing overall. While that wasn’t one of the circum-stances that led to his acquittal, it stands out when speaking about juries, courts and photographs.

e defense’s argument stems from the fact that although a person like me might see this photo as proof of mental illness and potentially helpful to the defense, someone else could see it as proof of his absolute guilt. However, I just don’t see how one photo could do that, or how this particular photo could have much sway over any jury sworn to be impartial.

I don’t think the leaked photo warrants further judicial action. Mugshots have been released to the public without incident in many cases, particularly in crimes of a lesser stature. At the end of a day, this photo is just a photo.

After 12 multicultural stu-dent organizations took the stage and provided information about their groups, six diff er-ent acts performed onstage in Forum Hall on Saturday. Some groups danced, one sang and others stepped, but all repre-sented multicultural student organizations and were able to show off their skills for the audi-ence.

BSU Represent was hosted and facilitated by members of the Black Student Union and off ered information about dif-ferent multicultural student or-ganizations.

“I hope everyone who at-tended enjoyed the show,” said Mercedes Perry, vice president of BSU and junior in human resources development and American ethnic studies. “If

people enjoyed the show, then I know my job is done.”

As vice president of BSU, Perry was the main facilitator of the event. She said she in-vited every multicultural stu-dent group she was familiar with to participate. Even though BSU was sponsoring the event, there were student groups rep-resented at the event with had members who were not a part of BSU.

Poize Hip-Hop dance team was the evening’s opening act.

“ is is the fi rst real presenta-tion of the group this semester,” said Tanniqua-Kay Buchanan, president of Poize and junior in architecture and dance. “We have always based our dances and performances on the audi-ence and what they expect.”

e group began their per-formance with a small group of women, followed by smooth-dancing men. After them, a

group of women performed a more hardcore dance routine. To conclude, all the members who performed in smaller groups came together and per-formed as one.

Held annually for more than fi ve years, BSU Represent off ers new students and transfer stu-dents the opportunity to attend a large event to learn more about the student organizations K-State off ers.

“We welcomed all [multicul-tural student] organizations,” said Anita Easterwood, presi-dent of BSU and senior in fi ne arts. “Mercedes put a lot of work into this. It’s always a little dif-fi cult getting Forum Hall, and we also ran the risk of hosting the event on a game day. But we had high hopes for the event.”

ere were 19 groups rep-resented at the event on Satur-day night. Since the number of groups on campus has grown,

there were more organizations represented this year than in previous years.

Another group who was in-vited to perform at BSU Rep-resent was Yosakoi, a Japanese performance group.

“ is is the second year we have performed at BSU Repre-sent, and it is always fun to get out there and perform,” said Maia Williams, president of Yo-sakoi and senior in computer science. “We have such a di-verse campus — it’s nice to see it all represented in one place.”

Barbara Johnson, 1978 K-State alum in biochemistry, helped coach the group. Wil-liams said that she is very grate-ful for Johnson, as Johnson brings insight to the group, as well as helping them out.

“K-State has a lot of diversity,” Johnson said. “It’s so good to showcase diff erent groups, like here at BSU Represent.”

Multicultural groups showcase talent at BSU event

Muff said of hitting almost .600 in the match.

Senior setter Caitlyn Donahue noted that a lack of experience with many of Texas Tech’s players impacted K-State’s third and fourth set losses.

“I think they just put a lot of pressure on us. ey had some new personnel in that we hadn’t seen a lot,” Dona-hue said. “We didn’t have the opportunity to watch them on fi lm so we weren’t quite sure what they were going to do and I think maybe it was us just kind of trying to fi gure out what those new players were going to be doing for them.”

Donahue also discussed

how the win will aff ect the Wildcat’s mentality in coming back from their last loss and moving forward in the season.

“I’m excited that we pulled off the win,” she said. “Any win in the Big 12 is huge, and especially coming off of a loss on Wednesday we’re really excited to get back on a winning streak, I hope. But it was nice; we were able to get a lot of people in, and I had a lot of confi dence in my team that fi fth game that we would just get it done so I’m really excited that we did.”

e Wildcats will play West Virginia in Morgantown on Wednesday at 5:30 p.m. e team’s next home match will be against Baylor on Oct. 27 at 7 p.m.

is past weekend, the Sunset Zoo hosted their annual “SPOOKtacular” event, in which families from around the community went to the zoo to see the animals and trick-or-treat from various local businesses.

“ e event serves a lot of purposes,” said zoo director Scott Shoemaker. “It’s family friendly and safe. It is also an opportunity to get people who have never been to the zoo before out here.”

During the festivities, the K-State Marching Band performed the fi ght song, “ e Wabash Cannonball,” and the K-State alma mater while in costume.

“I really liked seeing all of the kids in their costumes,” said Lindsay Albracht, band member and sophomore in family studies.

roughout the day, zoo employees walked around with various small animals to interact with the crowds.

“I love handling animals and telling people about them,” said Erika Schneider, zoo em-ployee. “It’s always fun to teach.”

While people were looking at animals, they could also collect candy from the various busi-nesses who had set up booths around the zoo. One such booth belonged to Big Poppi Bicycle Co., who raffl ed off a child’s bike.

“We came here today to be a part of the community,” said Narmin Koenig of Big Poppi.

According to Shoemaker, the SPOOKtacu-lar event has expanded every year, and this year the event was larger than it has ever been with nearly 5,000 attendees over two days. SPOOKtacular is the largest event held at the zoo during the year.

“It just keeps getting bigger and better every year,” Shoemaker said.

“I can’t see you! I need to hear you!” yelled an enthusias-tic Jimmy Carter, of the Blind Boys of Alabama. e band performed at McCain Audito-rium with Malcolm John “Mac” Rebennack, Jr., better known by his stage name “Dr. John” on Friday night.

Hailing from New Orleans, Dr. John’s blend of funk, blues and psychedelic classic rock echoed through the halls of McCain for 90 minutes of music. A crowd fl ooded the auditorium to see these two acts, who have each won fi ve Grammy awards.

A 2011 inductee into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, Rebennack began his music career in the 1950s, and con-tinued making music as a ses-sion musician with acts such as Van Morrison, Eric Clapton and e Rolling Stones. His sound was established in 1968 with his critically acclaimed album “Gris-gris,” released under his persona “Dr. John the Night Tripper.”

Twenty minutes after coming onstage, Dr. John was joined by the Blind Boys of Alabama, who were inducted into the Gospel Music Hall of Fame this year. e Blind Boys brought a soulful sound to the performance and comple-mented Dr John’s funky style.

is collaboration began with Dr. John’s appearance

on the Blind Boys’ Grammy-winning CD “Down in New Orleans.” After sensing some-thing special about the syn-ergy between the two acts, Dr. John spawned the “Spiri-tuals to Funk” tour, which is a spot-on description of Friday night’s sound.

After entering the stage amidst booming applause from the audience, the Blind Boys went right into their set with a rhythm and blues classic, “People Get Ready,” originally composed by Curtis Mayfi eld.

“It was awesome,” said Courtney Flanery, freshman in pre-veterinary medicine. “I wasn’t expecting covers, so that was pleasant surprise be-cause I recognized some songs that I don’t think I thought I would have beforehand.”

Covers allowed the audi-ence to get involved and par-ticipate in the music.

“I liked how they used easily recognizable melodies,” said Kevin Le, sophomore in civil engineering, “and blend-ed them with other songs to create something new.”

One of Flanery’s favorites was Dr. John’s blend of “Spirit in the Sky” with “Amazing Grace.” e recognizable lyrics of “Amazing Grace” comple-mented the melodic riff of “Spirit in the Sky,” a nuance which allowed the audience to relate to the music.

“I think the blending of songs kept the audience in-

terested,” Le said, “Like, they would start a song that most of the audience knew, and, as the song developed, it would mesh into another one that the audience knew.”

e crowd was very recep-tive to the performers. e Blind Boys got the audience

pumped, and their charisma was contagious. By telling ev-erybody to get on their feet, the Blind Boys were fully in-vested in the moment and fed off of the energy of the crowd.

Formed over 70 years ago at the Alabama Institute for the Negro Deaf and Blind, the

Blind Boys of Alabama depend on group chemistry and cohe-siveness to deliver memorable performances.

ough they could not see the audience, they kept the crowd in mind as one of the members went into the audi-ence and interacted with them

by shaking hands.“It was a very exciting event

because of the interaction and passion,” said Silverio Gonza-lez, sophomore in fi nance. “I think that’s what makes musi-cians icons, and it was obvious that both of these performers were living legends.”

e Association of Resi-dence Halls sponsored the Crazy Cat Kickoff Sunday night in Weber Arena as part of Homecoming Week.

e event featured a series of games and relays played com-petitively between residence hall teams. Ashley Preston, senior in secondary education, helped coordinate the event.

“It’s a competition between the halls only,” Preston said. “ ere are no student organiza-tions or greek life students that participate.”

Preston said new rules have made it harder for students living in residence halls to get to know each other this year.

“ e doors to the halls are locked 24 hours a day now, which makes it a lot harder to get together,” she said. “I really like getting the students togeth-er like this.”

e event began with dinner provided by ARH and the Homecoming coordinators. While enjoying the free meal, teams had the opportunity to get acquainted with the other teams. After dinner, the teams fi led into the arena for a run-down of the evening’s activities and events.

After the rules were an-nounced, each team was paired with another to com-pete against at each station. e seven teams competed in two rounds of competition, with three or four events per round.

Weber Arena was fi lled with cheering and chanting as teams struggled to gain an upper hand. Students could be seen frantically searching for items in the scavenger hunt or jumping and shouting as teams moved neck and neck in a race to transfer water from one bucket to another using only sponges.

ough the residence halls are known for housing primar-ily freshmen, college students of all ages attended the event.

“It doesn’t usually surprise me,” said Andrew Rummery, Strong Complex homecom-ing representative and sopho-more in chemical engineering. “Freshmen that get involved in their fi rst year stay involved, so lots of upperclassmen are here.”

After the two rounds of

competition ended, the teams fi lled the stands to watch a tug-of-war tournament. Each team watched their strongest members fi ght to win the last physical challenge of the night. When the tug-of-war was fi n-ished, the student ambassador nominees were introduced, giving students a better idea of the nominees and their plat-forms.

Finally, the teams partici-pated in a trivia challenge, with questions revolving around K-State history. e winners of each individual event were an-nounced just as the event con-cluded. e overall winner will be announced later this week.

“ is defi nitely helped spark some competition between everyone,” said Josh Snod-grass, sophomore in biology. “It makes me excited for the rest of homecoming.”

Snodgrass thought that the event could have been better organized, saying that the an-nouncers looked a bit over-whelmed while running the history trivia.

“ ey could have done a bit more,” he said, “but it was still fun.”

Preston was satisfi ed with how the event turned out.

“ is was a good way to kick off Homecoming week,” Pres-ton said. “Overall, I think it was a success.”
