Austin Enns | Collegian Italy’s uniqueness as a country resonates

throughout its millennia of history, strate-gic location in the Mediterranean and its excellent food, setting the country apart from the rest of the world. On Thursday afternoon, Captain Mattia Zuzzi, an offi-cer in the Italian army, spoke to a group of people about Italy and some of his person-al experiences in the army.

Zuzzi gave a broad overview of Italy. His topics ranging from national pastimes, “We have two passions: soccer, in which we won the World Cup last time, and Fer-rari Formula One racing;” to Roman histo-ry, “Nobody else has ever conquered Brit-ain;” to the Navy, “we’re the only country in Europe with two aircraft carriers.”

One of the anecdotes focused on why the owner of the Ferrari car company, En-zio Ferrari, did not sell his business to Ford Motor Company in 1963. Zuzzi stated that Ford was only going to budget $100,000 to the racing arm of Ferrari’s company, and that was five times less than the amount Ferrari was currently spending. Ferra-ri decided to keep his company indepen-dent so he could chase his dream of de-signing a car that can “fly without leaving the ground.”

Another area of focus for Zuzzi was It-aly’s place in world affairs. Zuzzi said that Italy mainly focused on lands bordering the Mediterranean, like North Africa and the Middle East, because of Italy’s central-

ized location by the sea. For example, Ita-ly obtains its gas from Libya, a North Afri-can country, in exchange partly for build-ing roads and infrastructure.

A section of the lecture was spent de-tailing some of Zuzzi’s personal connec-tions with Italy’s present and past. His great grandfather, after whom he is named, fought in Italy’s war for independence, and Zuzzi spent some time serving his coun-try in Afghanistan. Zuzzi showed a picture of a non-extremist member of the Taliban participating in a meeting of the local vil-lage’s elders, and stated that members of the Taliban’s political party are distinctive because of their long beards and black tur-bans.

Robert Clark, associate professor in French, was appreciative that Zuzzi spent some time talking about his personal ex-periences, instead of just focusing on Ital-ian trivia.

“I enjoyed it. I think it’s always inter-esting to hear a different perspective on world events from someone who has expe-rienced them first-hand,” Clark said. “It’s a great opportunity to hear a different point of view, especially a friendly, sympathetic one.”

Markie Griffin, senior in art history, said that she found the discussion of Ital-ian culture fascinating.

Griffin said that her favorite part of the lecture was “when he was talking about the different parts of Italy and different places for tourism.”

More than 300 people came to the Student Union’s Main Ballroom to see conservationist and TV icon Jeff Cor-win on Thursday.

Half an hour before the presentation was scheduled to begin, the line wait-ing outside stretched down the corri-dor. Copies of Corwin’s book, “100 Heartbeats,” quickly sold out. Repre-sentatives from the Sunset Zoo and the K-State Insect Zoo entertained people as they waited, showing them insects and snakes and answering questions.

Corwin spoke at length about the plight of the planet, punctuating his message with stories about his child-hood and his work that had the audi-ence rolling in laughter.

“He was hilarious,” said Kendra Fuller, junior in animal science bio-technology. “If he wasn’t a conserva-tionist or a naturalist I’d have told him to be a stand-up comedian.”

While many of his stories were fun-ny, there were some serious notes as well. Corwin described how habitat loss, climate change, pollution, poach-ing and human population growth are

A new Student Senate for the 2010-11 term took office yesterday evening. To begin the meeting, for-mer Speaker of Student Senate Amy Schultz, se-nior in biology, installed newly elected senators.

Following the installa-tion of the senators, for-mer Student Body Presi-dent Dalton Henry, senior in agricultural econom-ics, agricultural commu-nications and journalism, and former Vice President Wayne Stoskopf, senior in agribusiness, swore in the new president and vice president. Danny Unruh, junior in food science and political science, will serve as president and Annie Ol-iver, junior in life sciences, as vice president.

Afterward, the senate had to elect a new speak-er. Schultz presided over the meeting while candi-dates were nominated and gave speeches. The nom-inations for speaker were Molly McGuire, junior in political science; Michael Champlain, junior in po-litical science; and Kyle Reynolds, junior in person-al finance.

The senate elected Reyn-olds 35-23 after a run-off vote between Reynolds and McGuire.

Reynolds said he was running for speaker be-cause he wanted to become more familiar with the members of senate. Serv-ing in a full-time position would allow him to build relationships, he said.

“It’s something I feel very comfortable doing and I feel qualified to do it,” Reynolds said. “I have the experience necessary to handle the internal af-fairs of this job.”

Jessica Schultz, former chair of the Privilege Fee Committee, spoke in sup-port of Reynolds. She said she supported him be-cause he had a strong de-sire to be involved in infor-mal discussions as he rec-ognized the importance of them.

Megan Deforce, junior in secondary education, said one of those informal discussions involved the Privilege Fee allocation to the K-State Student Union. New information had been brought forth out of com-mittee and an agreement was reached between a few committee members and the Union outside of com-mittee.

When this was presented in senate, Reynolds spoke against the bill and in fa-vor of returning it to com-mittee so that all members could discuss it.

“He recognized the hard work that was put into try-ing to reach an agreement in committee,” Deforce said. “He felt that every-one should be involved in the last step of the infor-mation-sharing process.”

Reynolds spoke about some of his goals as speak-er. He wants to foster a more open and positive relationship within sen-ate, he said. Also, he wants the senate to have a bet-ter relationship with the Collegian and to establish an identity for the senate. Many students and com-munity members have no idea what the senators are doing for students, he said.

More than 150 K-State students threw off their shoes to walk a barefoot mile, in support of TOMS Shoes’ campaign, One Day Without Shoes. The pack trekked from Bosco Plaza to City Park — talking, laughing

and trying their best to avoid pointy objects.

Despite the discom-fort of walking bare-foot, Dustin Shaw, ju-nior in fishery, wildlife and conservation man-agement, said he en-joyed himself.

“I just like walk-ing around and having people wondering what

we’re doing. A cou-ple people asked ques-tions, and it was good to spread the knowl-edge about what’s go-ing on,” Shaw said.

That knowledge was the fact that hundreds of thousands of chil-dren around the world go without shoes every day — rain or snow, no

matter the terrain. For-tunately for those chil-dren, TOMS has come to the rescue.

For every pair of shoes purchased from TOMS, the company donates a pair of new shoes to a child in Afri-ca or South America.

The barefoot walk supported this cause

in two ways: by rais-ing awareness, and by raising money. The 90s band Hanson has pledged to donate $1 for each person across the U.S. who partici-pates in barefoot walks.

Emily Hays, junior in architecture, said she found the event’s setup ideal because students

were able to help chil-dren in need, by simply taking a walk.

“I think this is a real-ly powerful movement, so for me and my friends to be able to say we were supportive of the cause and we participat-ed in the walk — it’s just great,” Hays said.

Kate Hambleton, ju-nior in theater and co-organizer of the event, said she was glad to see a “broad range of peo-ple” participate in the walk, because it showed anyone can become ex-cited about the cause TOMS stands for.

“When I first heard about TOMS, I was like, ‘That’s the coolest thing ever,’” Hamble-ton said. “Taking con-sumerism and using it to give to people who are less fortunate — I think that’s so wonder-ful. And the shoes are so cool-looking, so it’s like everybody wins.”

The barefoot walk was held Thursday af-ternoon and ended with a free barbecue at City Park.

Until I saw this film, I considered my-self a Nicolas Cage hater. Granted, he was good in a few films like “Raising Arizona” and “Adaptation,” for the most part — espe-cially in his action films — Nicolas Cage has been the weakest link in almost every movie in which he has starred. But after watching “Bad Lieutenant,” I’m willing to change my opinion just a bit.

OK, here’s the thing: Cage is good only when he’s playing a crazy person. That’s it. If a director wants him to be a stand-up business executive-turned-father, forget about it. If, on the other hand, the director casts Cage to play a crooked cop who’s con-stantly cracked out on cocaine and heroin, that’s a different story. In fact, no one plays a character like that better than Cage.

This loosely based remake stars Cage as Lt. Terence McDonough. After McDonough injures his back in the line of duty, his doc-tor prescribes him Vicodin to help ease the pain. Soon, McDonough gets off the Vico-din and moves on to a harder drug — co-caine. McDonough begins taking drugs from the evidence locker and fixing the drug reports. But once the department installs se-curity cameras in the room, McDonough is forced to go out into the harsh underworld of New Orleans to find drugs for himself.

At work, McDonough is put on a case in-volving a crime gang that executed an en-tire family. As he gets more and more des-perate for drugs, he starts caring more about his next hit and less about actually solving the case.

As I mentioned earlier, this is a loose re-make. The original, directed by Abel Fer-rera, came out in 1992 and starred Har-vey Keitel as the “bad lieutenant.” The films have similar plotlines, but they are so differ-ent in terms of style that you could watch them back-to-back, and never feel like you watched the same movie twice.

The main characters from each film are also very different. Keitel is the kind of dirty cop who secretly wants redemption while Cage’s “bad lieutenant” doesn’t care about redemption unless it involves smoking a crack pipe.

I much prefer this version to the origi-nal simply because Cage’s character nev-er seems to regret anything. He knows he’s messed up, and he knows he has a problem with drugs, but he also knows that he’s not such a bad guy, and he really isn’t. Sure, he might cut off oxygen to an old woman in or-der to get information, and instead of bust-ing drug dealers, he’ll just use them to score more drugs. But throughout the film, we see how he cares for a hooker (the smok-ing Eva Mendes) and how he passionate-ly opposes any abuse administered to po-tential suspects or witnesses (well except for the whole restricting oxygen thing — the old lady has it coming anyway). I wouldn’t go so far as to call him a good guy, but he cer-tainly could have been a lot worse.

I honestly don’t know if I’ve seen a movie quite like this. Sure, there have been plenty of films dealing with corrupt cops, but Her-zog puts a different spin on it. He embrac-es the dark comedic elements in the script, and makes some interesting direction choic-es. For instance, there’s one scene where Cage is hallucinating that iguanas are ly-ing around a coffee table and, to include the audience in his paranoia, Herzog puts a camera right up against a lizard’s face. It’s the weirdest scene, but it works, because it takes you inside the head of a coked-out police officer.

Overall, this is one crazy movie and it’s definitely not for everybody. But if you just want to see Cage let loose and deliver an ambitious performance where he spends a lot of his time leaning over a counter sniff-ing baby powder, this movie will not disap-point.

Louis Leterrier’s new action mov-ie “Clash of the Titans” took its debut chunk out of the box office totals this week. Released on April 2, this remake of the 1981 film has been greeted not so favorably by critics.

The movie follows the mythologi-cal story of Perseus quite closely. Born as the son of Zeus (Liam Neeson) and raised as a man, Perseus’ family is killed as mankind attempts to thwart the gods.

Bound to vengeance by his fury, Per-seus (Sam Worthington) joins up with others from Argos on a quest to save the land and defeat Hades. Struggling to learn who he himself is, man or god, and fighting for the lives of all those journeying beside him, Perseus travels to the very bounds of Hades and back.

Given such an epic storyline, the di-rector had more than an adequate share of action sequence with which to work. Combined with the power of modern special effects, “Clash of the Titans” sim-ply takes away the breath.

The design of the beasts and demons themselves is impressive. If anything about this movie or the vision of the di-rector caught my attention, it was the complex beauty of every single enemy and foe.

Shining in true contrast to its blocky predecessor, “Clash of the Titans” is proof that the awe-factor behind digital-ly reproducing a movie with such raw power is a great idea.

In all its beauty and splendor, howev-

er, “Clash of the Titans” still managed to fall short on a number of levels. While appealing to the eyes, the story line flowed awkwardly and felt forced.

Attempting to smooth together a string of power-packed action sequenc-es with emotional and captivating dia-logue, the characters in “Clash of the Ti-tans” seemed to absentmindedly care for one another as the need arose.

Perseus went straight from fisherman to hero without even learning to fight, found true love with his guardian Io and apparently developed a very strong emo-tional bond to the rest of his party from Argos without any sort of time frame to do so.

While trying to establish a romance between Perseus and his lifelong coun-terpart Io, the story behind the action falls slow. On the road to see the witch-es and by boat to Hades, I felt trapped in an awkward teenage love bubble Per-seus was attempting to break out of by slaying the vilest beasts of the land.

Although the story itself does not lend an extreme amount of difficulty to Per-seus’ journey, I felt the director could have added more intensity to the idea of him falling short. “Clash of the Titans” is just a bit too straightforward. Throw in some plot twists, for heaven’s sake.

All this is not to mention the extreme-ly disappointing performance of the Kraken. With such an awesome portray-al of the fearsome beast, I truly expect-ed a battle. And what a disappointment that expectation landed me. Follow-ing quite a battle with Medusa just out-side Hades and the treacherous journey all the way back to Argos, it was an epic letdown.

One Day Without Shoes

More than 150 students support TOMS Shoes by walking one mile from Bosco Plaza to City Park Thursday afternoon.Ashley KueglerCollegian

The barefoot students walking from City Park to Bosco Plaza on Thursday accomplished more than a nice stroll — they increased awareness to problems in other countries.

The walk was in support of a TOMS Shoes campaign, which raises both money and understanding of glob-al issues.

According to its Web site, TOMS shoes donates shoes to a child whenever some-one purchases a pair. Bare-foot children can catch ill-

nesses through the soil or be prohibited from attend-ing schools where footwear is part of the dress code, ac-cording to the site.

Improving health and ed-ucation throughout the world is a great goal, and the Collegian editorial board commends K-State students who recognize this.

With multiple pairs of shoes in our closets and lackadaisical attitudes to-ward school at times, we can forget there are peo-ple in the world who cannot even purchase one pair of shoes. As lucky as we are in the United States, we should remember those less fortu-nate than us.

The TOMS movement is not the only way students can raise money or aware-ness for others. If shoes are not your passion, we en-courage you to find some way to benefit someone else, either through a charitable organization or a simple ac-tion.

Just remember — you are making the world a better place, one step at a time.

Former Massachusetts State Senator Robert A. Hall recently published a highly controversial article on his blog, “The Old Jarhead.” The article, which represents a conservative’s view on the current govern-ment, makes some valid points about the current state of our nation. After reading Hall’s article and carefully considering the points, I decided to write my own version of his rant. So here goes.

I’m sick of waking up every day and hearing about the new health care we’ll be receiving. Look, I don’t want health care, and neither does anyone else that I talk to. I definitely do not want to pay for peo-ple to receive abortions or for some sex of-fender’s Viagra. Universal health care is a flawed idea, just like communism. If you want to see how that idea worked out, look at China or Russia.

I’m sick of being told that it is my re-sponsibility to support people who are out of work and too lazy to go look for a job. I don’t want to “spread the wealth.” I’m all for helping people. If your house gets blown down by a tornado or a hurricane, I’ll be there to help you put it back up. But I’m not about to pay for someone to sit on their rear all day, to wait for their welfare check to come in the mail, while I wake up at 5 every morning to go to work.

I’m sick of my religion being tarnished and disrespected in public while people are handing out pornography on college campuses in exchange for Bibles. Hey, to each his own. I won’t disrespect your re-ligion and you shouldn’t disrespect mine. Every person has the opportunity and ca-pacity to believe in whatever they choose and to exercise their religion. So yes, I am going to pray in public schools. And I am going to believe God created the Heavens and the Earth in six days. But I am not go-ing to criticize you for your religious views or holdings. You have your rights, just like I have mine.

I’m sick of my generation’s sense of en-titlement. Rome wasn’t built in a day, and neither was the U.S. In fact, it took many great men and women to build this coun-try into the way it was. Right now, our generation is faced with a huge challenge. In the coming years, we’re going to have to deal with an aging population, poor eco-nomic times and extensive resource-man-agement issues. We can either buck up and ride and make the most of what we have, or we can sit back on our laurels and wait for someone else to come in and make de-cisions for us. Judging by the current state of the world, that somebody will most like-ly be China. And I can guarantee you none of us will like the way they run things.

I’m sick of being told we can’t do any-thing about people like the terrorists in Guantanamo Bay because we have to honor their civil rights. I’m a supporter of civil rights, but not for terrorists. If you try to attack my country, you don’t have any civil rights. And if there isn’t doubt about whether or not you did it, there isn’t a need for a multi-million dollar trial in New York City. I can take care of that problem much more effectively cheaper. You might say I’m being politically incorrect, but I’m not going to lose any sleep over it at night.

I’m sick of hearing the media trash our men and women in Iraq and Afghani-stan, especially by left-wing liberals who wouldn’t even consider strapping on boots to put foot to tail for their country. What the men and women who serve in our armed forces do on a daily basis is one of the most honorable things a person can do in his or her lifetime.

So enough. Let’s send the Michael Moores and the Fred Phelpses of this world home for good. Sure you have the right to free speech, but that doesn’t give you the right to picket a veteran’s funer-al who died fighting for you so you could have that right.

I’m mostly sick of watching the circus that is Congress parade through our media outlets and newspapers. Why do we toler-ate politicians who admit they don’t care about the Constitution? Or why do we let Joe Biden drop the f-bomb on nation-al television? If Dick Cheney or George Bush would have done that, people would have called for an impeachment. You would also think the death threats peo-ple sent to their legislators who voted for the health care bill would be a sign, but we can’t seem to figure that one out either.

Look, I love the United States and the country that the generations before us fought and died for. I appreciate all the blood, sweat and toil my grandparents and their grandparents before them put into our freedom. But I am sick and tired of seeing people taking that freedom and lib-erty for granted and tarnishing our nation.

Our generation is faced with one of the greatest challenges in the history of this country. Are you going to sit around and wait for someone to come in and make a decision for you, or are you going to do something about it?

Process Dueu.s. principles, freedoms often taken for granted

Americans, take heed. The threat level is Orange.

Constantly reminded of this fact as we travel through airports, one has to wonder what we are supposed to do differently, or why they even tell us at all. The answer takes a bit of thought, but here’s a shortcut: fear politics.

Constant reminder of the ever-present specter of terrorism serves to justify federal policies invading civ-il liberties that otherwise wouldn’t fly. The threat level scale doesn’t do anything other than provide an arti-ficial justification for policies the fed-eral government would pursue any-way. While the Constitution usually provides a solid barrier against fed-eral overstep, one giant loophole re-mains: the 1944 Supreme Court case Korematsu V. United States.

The Korematsu case ruled the forceful internment of 110,000 Jap-anese-Americans during World War II, via Executive Order 9066, was justified by national security and mil-itary necessity. The internment was claimed necessary because some Jap-anese-Americans refused to swear loyalty to the United States, and the military wouldn’t have time to sepa-rate the loyal from the disloyal. As a result, the entire West Coast popula-tion of Japanese ancestry were forced from their homes, bringing only what they could carry and held in commu-nal camps.

The court held discrimination based on race could be justified by “a compelling government interest” but must be “narrowly tailored” and use the “least restrictive means.” Ac-cording to the majority opinion, mass internment met these standards of strict scrutiny.

In the 1980s, UC San Diego pro-fessor Peter Irons discovered in the National Archives a series of mem-os indicating the federal govern-ment provided false information to the court by suppressing the categor-ical denial of any Japanese-Amer-ican threat on the West Coast by the FBI and Office of Naval Intelli-gence. As a direct result, Koremat-su’s case returned in 1984 to the U.S. District Court in Northern Califor-nia, where his earlier conviction was overturned. The second case, howev-er, did not overturn the 1944 prece-dent, but only addressed the particu-lar facts of Korematsu’s conviction.

The precedent established by Ko-rematsu — the government can dis-criminate based on race in the name of national security — is still a “good law,” despite many opportunities to overturn and invalidate it in test cas-es about the Guantanamo Bay in-ternment and military tribunals.

As 1944 dissenting Justice Robert Jackson wrote in the original case, the court’s validation of racial dis-crimination based on the interests of national security — later revealed to be largely fabricated — remains “like a loaded weapon,” available to justi-fy sweeping federal discrimination at any time.

We live in an era with important similarities to WWII United States. Sept. 11 and subsequent terrorist at-tacks have, like Pearl Harbor, iden-tified a clear threat against our na-tional security that comes from a group with a shared racial and eth-

nic identity. Our country is populat-ed with millions of people who share this identity. Those people are over-whelmingly patriotic, though an ex-tremely small minority of dissenters likely exists. The wave of post-9/11 anti-Arab racism has revealed many citizens view this entire racial and ethnic group as threatening. These were the exact conditions which pre-ceded forceful Japanese internment.

Policies that discriminate based on race and ethnicity in the name of na-tional security exist. The best exam-ple is profiling at airports and bor-ders. Other examples are doubtless concealed — who do you think was most subject to the Bush-era war-rantless wiretaps? The potential for harsher policies remains — another al-Qaida terrorist attack could easi-ly trigger sweeping violations of civ-il liberties.

Race and ethnicity can never be the basis for violations of civil lib-erties — they are not characteristics that cause or even correlate with loy-alty or patriotism. The Korematsu precedent is a scar on the face of our Constitution, and should be invali-dated by the Supreme Court.

The impending retirement of Jus-tice Paul Stevens presents a unique opportunity to shape the next Su-preme Court. As citizens, we should take an active role in pressuring our politicians to only confirm a strong advocate of civil liberties and non-discrimination. The internment of Japanese-Americans during WWII was a horrible mistake — only over-turning the Korematsu decision can ensure it is one that we do not re-peat.

In celebration of Native American Heritage Month, the Native American Student Association has put together an afternoon of displays and activities to celebrate the dif-ferent aspects of American In-dian culture. The celebration will be held Monday in the Union Courtyard from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m.

“We promote Native Amer-ican events on campus so the K-State community can be ex-posed to the Native American culture,” said Georgia Perez, Native American Student As-sociation adviser. “We do this to promote diversity and un-derstanding on campus.”

The highlight of the after-noon might be the Big Sol-dier Creek Singers and Danc-ers performance from noon to 1 p.m. The dancers are also set to perform from 7 — 9 p.m. in Forum Hall.

From noon to 1 p.m., the first 100 people will have an opportunity to sample a Na-tive American soup called “Three Sisters Soup.”

Other activities include a Potawatomi native language performance; a Cherokee basket weaving instruction and display by Terra Coons; a display of carvings, bead and leatherwork by Mexi-can-American artist Michael J. Perez; and a native pottery display by Reubin Ironhorse-Kent.

The outcome of these events will hopefully bring about a better understanding of native cultures on campus and to promote diversity on campus, said Cameron Piercy, junior in political science and president of NASA.

The afternoon’s events are free and open to the public.

Additionally, a panel dis-cussion featuring Chris Eyre — writer, director and producer of “Smoke Signals,” a critical-ly acclaimed movie that deals with death, racism, religion and alcoholism in the Na-tive American community — is scheduled for April 19 at 6:30 p.m. in Forum Hall. The eve-ning will also include a view-ing of Eyre’s film.

Students in JohnElla Holmes’s Ameri-can Ethnic studies 160 classes Thursday re-ceived a special presentation about Ameri-can Indians.

Leslie Hannah, associate professor at Northeastern State University and former assistant dean of academics at K-State-Sali-na, visited Holmes’s classes along with sev-eral students from NSU.

The group demonstrated American Indi-an dances and drumming for K-State stu-dents and even led those who volunteered to participate in a American Indian circle dance.

Hannah taught students some common

misconceptions about American Indian culture as well as some of their tradition-al customs.

Hannah explained a game called Indian stick ball that arguing tribes would play in order to settle disputes. Players used sticks with small nets to hurl a ball toward the top of a post with a fish on top, scoring points depending on how close to the fish the ball hit. Stick ball is an aggressive sport that oc-casionally ended fatally. The game is also the originating influence for lacrosse.

The group will be performing a free pow-wow exhibition Saturday at 10 a.m. at the Student Life Center of the K-State-Sali-na campus as part of the Diversity Summit 2010.

After struggling through a three-game series in Lubbock, Texas, last weekend, the K-State baseball team has returned to the friendly confines of the Lit-tle Apple for a trio of games against Nebraska.

The No. 20 Wildcats (21-5, 4-2), will look to bounce back from their first conference loss of the season as they dropped two of three to the Red Raid-ers on April 1-3. K-State had fared well away from home en-tering the series, but according to head coach Brad Hill, Big 12 road competition is a totally dif-ferent animal.

“When you get on the road, sometimes it’s a scramble,” Hill said. “Everybody wants to pro-tect their home turf. Tech came out really aggressively and I don’t think we responded very well.”

Despite ineffective pitching in each game, the Wildcats were able to mount a comeback and win the series finale 10-6. Hill, who is in his seventh season in Manhattan, said he hopes the come-from-behind victory will provide K-State with some mo-mentum as they take the field against the Huskers.

“The way we played all weekend, we could have easi-ly cashed our chips in and came home with our tail between our legs, but we didn’t do that,” he said. “It would be nice if we can come home and play good, sol-id baseball. Hopefully, the kids are excited to be back home and ready to play.”

Nebraska, traditionally re-garded as a Big 12 powerhouse, has fallen on hard times this sea-son. The Huskers (15-14, 3-6) enter the weekend series hav-ing lost three of their last four contests. They have been led of-fensively by senior outfielders Adam Bailey and D.J. Belfonte.

Bailey, who was drafted by the Yankees in 2009 but elect-ed to return for his senior sea-son, is second in the conference with a .424 batting average and leads the team with 10 home

runs. Belfonte, a native of Kan-sas City, Mo., is second on the team with a .388 average and has gone deep five times.

“They have some key play-ers in their lineup,” Hill said of the Huskers. “Adam Bailey is one of the best players in the Big 12. Belfonte, he’s a creator guy. He’s a tough kid. He’ll set the table for them and he’s having a very good year again.”

K-State will counter at the plate with a trio of big bats in Nick Martini, Carter Jurica and Adam Muenster. Martini, a sophomore outfielder, ranks

fifth in the Big 12 with a .404 average and enters the game on a 23-game hitting streak — two shy of the school record. Muen-ster, an infielder and one of just three seniors, owns a .396 av-erage and leads the team with 111 at-bats. Jurica, a junior shortstop, is hitting .388 and is tied for the team lead with four homers.

From an experience stand-point, the Wildcats appear to have an advantage on the mound, but Hill says Nebraska’s pitching staff has already shown improvement, thanks in large

part to the volume of pitchers who were on last year’s team.

“They had some young arms last year, but they’re a year old-er,” he said. “Obviously, it makes a big difference when you have more experience on the mound.”

Today’s start time is set for 6:30 p.m. at Tointon Family Sta-dium. There will be a pre-game ceremony in which the Wildcat basketball team will be honored for their run to the Elite Eight. Following the recognition, head basketball coach Frank Martin will throw out the ceremonial

A majority of sportscasters have recently focused their opin-ions and talk shows on Tiger Woods and his personal life. The sports world has talked about Woods nonstop since a flub of choices led the golfer down the road to ruin.

There have been many arti-cles published trying to explain the burdensome lifestyle of the professional athlete. Spending more months on the road than at home and working on relation-ships from afar, it is not surpris-ing that human beings make mis-takes.

I am not in any way, shape or form condoning this behavior. However, I feel the public has, over the past decade, changed — in an ugly way — how we handle this information.

First and foremost, individu-als have more responsibility to their families than to the public. Given the tremendous amount of pressure they are under to try and fix things in their own lives, the public outcry for an apology is absurd.

Does not the old adage ring true that the person will be the most hard on themselves? Pub-lic figures like Tiger Woods do not just attain such a status over-night, nor do they dismantle it without regret and self-loathing.

The plain fact of the matter though, is that we are destroying the lives of those who we have lovingly followed for so long. We make mistakes every single day, whether on the same playing field or not, and we ought to be scrutinized just as much, accord-ing to our standards.

It would be bold to say that we, too, would not want to main-tain our own level of privacy in dealing with such a sensitive matter. We already try to hide our own unfortunate choices from our friends — can you imag-ine everyone finding out your darkest secret across the nation?

My point however, is not to object to the criticism for such an error but to the gross overem-phasis we place on it as a soci-ety. Digging into other people’s lives is not neighborly at all. Why have the masses become such grubby little lie-seekers?

This continued destruction of role models in sports has a sec-ond and more devastating conse-quence — the removal of heroes for the children of our time.

Not to say that role models liv-ing a life of distaste are good for children, but that seeking to un-cover every truth in life has pro-duced a much greater level of scandal in our day and age. The boyhood heroes from genera-tions past were not always the wonderful truth-tellers either, but they still managed to inspire many.

Letting athletes play their game and letting them deal with their own troubles should be not so overlooked. While agreeably, when such incidents become public, they cannot necessarily skirt around it.

Looking for the worst in peo-ple is a characteristic of jealousy and insecurity and has weaseled its way into almost every sport. The fans want to see the game — that’s why they watch and that’s what they expect to see. The time for drama and soap opera life-styles is not on the field, in the rink or at the court, but at home in privacy.

At 1 p.m. Saturday, there will be another opportunity for K-State to best Kansas, and also Wichita State. The rowing club teams will compete in the Sunflower State Championship Regatta, which ro-tates between the three schools. It will be a 2,000-meter home event this spring, just a short drive away from campus at Tuttle Creek Lake.

Since there are only three teams, the combination of seven-minute-long races by men’s and women’s

four-person and eight-person boats at both the novice and varsity lev-els is expected to wrap up around 3 or 4 p.m.

“Our expectations are very high,” said rower Scott Steffen. “We had a good showing last fall, and we are hoping to really carry that well over into the spring, so we see our-selves quite possibly winning it and doing very well.”

Novice coach Craig Doan said that in the fall the team defeated some top-ranked teams and said he thinks if K-State had a little bit big-

ger crew with some more publicity, it might be in the top 10 itself.

He said K-State boats placed third and sixth in nationals two years ago, and Steffen recount-ed a story of a K-State novice boat placing third in a race with varsity boats, which they were put into be-cause of a scheduling conflict.

“A novice boat beating varsi-ty boats — that’s pretty awesome,” Steffen said.

Doan said rowing can be a spec-tator sport, but a little knowledge is necessary because the races can

be a bit dull in the middle since the starts and finishes are the most ob-viously exciting.

“I think it’s a sport that you can support if you understand it’s a lot like baseball where you have to know what’s going on and have an understanding,” Doan said. “Be-cause if you do, every pitch is excit-ing, every swing, things like that.”

In the boathouse, one of the boats is named for Don Rose, who started K-State’s rowing club back in 1963, when the nearest boat-house was 500 miles away, and

effectively began the sport in the Midwest. The programs of WSU and KU came after K-State’s did.

Varsity coach Brian Ransom said the team is fairly young this season. All but a couple of the row-ers have only been in the sport for over a year.

Ransom said good rowers have really strong catches, good hard drives and nice long recoveries so they can breathe.

“The older, more experienced rowers basically just look like ma-chines or pistons,” Ransom said.

The K-State women’s tennis team is set to play back-to-back matches this weekend on the road. The first will be at No. 71 Colora-do on Friday, followed by Missouri on Sunday.

The team is coming off a strong home showing. Last week, the Wildcats defeated the Kansas Jay-hawks, shutting them out for the first time in the team’s history. Led by three freshmen, the team regained its footing in doubles matches and captured victories in each singles match.

Prior to the match against the Jayhawks, the Wildcats struggled in the doubles arena against Iowa State. The Wildcats stumbled, but won the match 4-3, marking their first victory against a Big 12 op-ponent this season. After the win against Jayhawks, the Wildcats are 2-3 in conference play and 5-8 overall.

Before returning to play at home, the team had experienced a five-match losing streak on the road. Losses along the way includ-ed Tulsa, Texas and Nebraska — all ranked teams. Each conference loss came during the squad’s last

road stretch. Colorado features two

individually ranked players. Monica Milewski, ranked No. 95, and Melisa Esposito, No. 124, have a combined 18-6 mark for the spring. Colorado holds an 8-8 record overall and a 1-4 record in

the Big 12. During the last four meetings between K-State and Colorado, the Buffaloes have won each time. K-State has not won in Boulder since spring 2006.

The Missouri Tigers are cur-rently on a three-match losing streak. They have a combined re-

cord of 5-11 and have no Big 12 wins this season. The last time the two teams played each other came during the 2008 spring season and K-State won the matchup.

Carmen Borau Ramos, Karla Bonacic and Ana Gomez Aleman are the freshmen leaders among the Wildcat team. The last two matches for Borau Ramos have re-sulted in three-set victories. Bon-acic has won five of her last sev-en matches in singles. Over the past two matches, the trio has re-mained undefeated, posting a combined 6-0 mark.

The match against the Jayhawks was the first time since Febru-ary that the team had won a dou-bles point. The week before, they lost every doubles match against Iowa State. For the match against the Jayhawks, adjustments were made to the doubles teams, pairing Gomez Aleman with Borau Ra-mos, Bonacic with Antea Huljev and Nina Sertic with Petra Chuda.

After the matches this weekend, K-State will finish the regular sea-son at home. Upcoming opponents include Oklahoma and Oklahoma State. All of the remaining match-es for K-State will be against Big 12 opponents.

As part of the BirdHouse acous-tic music series hosted by the Man-hattan Arts Center, the band Big Smith from Springfield, Mo., is set to perform Saturday at 8 p.m.

Big Smith, which is sponsored by Stephen and Deloris Berland, was once composed of five cous-ins, but recently teamed up with fiddle player Molly Healey.

According to Bigsmithband.com, the band plays “raucous acous-tic music that captured the spirit of their native Ozarks.” The band members play acoustic instruments only, including the bass fiddle, gui-tar, mandolin and washboard.

Tickets for the performance can be purchased in advance at the center’s box office — located at 1520 Poyntz Ave. — The Dusty Bookshelf and Claflin Books & Copies. The ticket prices for adults are $16, students pay $13 and mil-itary pay $14.

Tickets can also be purchased the day of the event at the center’s box office.

This weekend, Junction City is set to host the community’s first Green Fair from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. Saturday at the Municipal Build-ing, located at 7th Street and Washington Street.

The fair, which is sponsored by the Geary Community Sus-tainability Council, will have sev-eral exhibits and booths for visi-tors to explore, and several dis-cussions are scheduled through-out the day.

The talks will cover a num-ber of green-related topics, from consumer energy efficiency, to re-newable energy sources, to range-land burning. The speakers will be at two locations: the gymna-sium stage and the commission

room.“It is a combination of exhibi-

tors who will be handing out in-formation from their booths and several talks staggered in be-tween,” said Susan Moyer, direc-tor of Dorothy Bramlage Public Library. “There will also be some kids activities, and on-site recy-cling available.”

The exhibits will offer infor-mation to visitors about the var-ious options available to them that will make their homes and offices more energy- and cost-ef-ficient, such as energy-saving ap-pliances or eating locally-pro-duced foods.

“We will also have food service from a local food service provid-er,” Moyer said.

Moyer said they will also be

selling tickets to visitors giving them a chance to receive a com-post tumbler. She said the tickets are $1 each, but those prices are suggested donations.

As part of the on-site recy-cling collection that is also avail-able, visitors can bring hazardous waste, e-waste and recyclables, including No. 1 and No. 2 plas-tics, aluminum and steel cans, newspapers, magazines, tele-phone books, and all forms of pa-per (notebook paper, computer paper, manila folders, etc.) to be recycled.

Friends of the Animals, a non-profit animal advocacy organiza-tion, will also be at the fair col-lecting working animal carriers, as well as clean, used blankets and towels to be used for cage liners.

all negatively affecting the planet and its inhabitants, including humans. Corwin compared the extinction of animals today to the hypoth-esis of the last mass extinc-tion that killed the dinosaurs 65 million years ago.

“The asteroid is us, it’s what we do,” Corwin said.

Corwin described his childhood, growing up in an urban environment without wildlife and where no one could not swim in the water at the nearest beach because it was too polluted. Corwin said he developed his love of nature by frequent visits to his grandparents’ house in rural Massachusetts.

Corwin said that he be-came a naturalist at about the age of 6 when he discovered a garter snake in the wood-pile behind. He watched the snake for years. He then be-came a conservationist at the age of 8 when he witnessed a neighbor kill the snake with a spade. His passion for sav-ing and sustaining wildlife was further fueled when he had children.

“There’s a saying,” Cor-win said. “’We did not in-herit this world from our an-

cestors, we borrowed it from our children.’”

One of Corwin’s recent projects to educate peo-ple and encourage them to get involved in conservation through the Web site cor-winconnect.com, which was launched on Wednesday. The purpose of Corwin Connect is “to be the bridge between humankind and the natural resources we all depend on by connecting and empow-ering a global community to the planet,” according to their mission statement.

The Web site encourages networking between profes-sionals in the field, organiza-tions and individuals pooling their information and ideas together. It also has a sis-ter site on Facebook at face-book.com/corwinconnect.

After speaking for an hour, Corwin came down from the stage and walked around the audience as he answered questions from them for an-other half hour. Questions ranged from his opinion on hunting to using genetics to preserve animal species.

“It was nice to hear opin-ions from someone who’s a professional,” said Ashley Shenefelt, senior in animal science.

Staff Report | Collegian

The Manhattan Fire Department will start its annual fire hydrant maintenance program April 20, according to a press re-lease from the City of Manhattan. Crews will be flowing and painting fire hydrants throughout the city until late fall, accord-ing to the report.

Each year fire hydrants are flowed to ensure they work properly and to flush out water lines, the report said. If you notice yellow or rust colored water after crews have flowed fire hydrants in your area, the report suggests running water in the bathtub or shower for a few min-utes or until the water runs clear. If the water does not clear up, contact the City of Manhattan customer services at 587-2480 or the Manhattan Fire Department at 587-4500.

Please use caution when in areas near flowing fire hydrants as the water flow may be at a high enough pressure and vol-ume to cause damage to vehicles if driv-en through the flowing water, according to the report. In addition, children should be advised not to play in or ride bicycles through the flowing water.

Questions or concerns can be direct-ed to the Manhattan Fire Department at 587-4500. For more safety information, go to ci.manhattan.ks.us/fire.

A Manhattan man reported himself the victim of aggravated battery.

Brock Zerener, 20, of 809 Bertrand St., reported that between 12:30 and 12:45 a.m. approximately six males bat-tered him, according to Lt. Herb Cros-by Jr. Zerener sustained fractures around his eye, a burst blood vessel and bruis-es to the upper and lower eye area. The suspects are unknown and the incident is under investigation, Crosby said.
