A student wanders in circles around the K-State Union Food Court. She stares at the peo-ple in line, their trays piled high with delicious desserts, juicy thick hamburgers, and various snacks. All are tempting, but her better judgment leads her to the lonely salad bar.
Her name is Mayra Rivarola, and she is allergic to gluten.
It started when Rivarola, se-nior in journalism and mass communications, began los-ing weight. Weighing only 104 pounds, she was finally diag-nosed with celiac disease.
“Gluten is a protein found in wheat, rye, barley, and tricale,” Rivarola said. “I was losing so much weight when I finally found out I had the disease, but now I’m only sick when I’m off my diet.”
There is no cure for the dis-ease other than avoiding all foods that contain gluten. This includes bread, pizza, dough-nuts, pasta, and most processed foods.
Rivarola has a very hard time finding food on campus that she can safely consume. She said she can’t really eat at the food court in the Union. She can only eat some of the fruit that is of-fered, or a salad without crou-tons. There are no places on campus that offer allergy-friend-ly food, she said.
Not much of a choice.However, Rivarola is part of
a growing problem on campus — more students are coming to college with moderate to severe allergies. The dining services de-partment is noticing a marked increase in the number of stu-dents with allergies, said Sher-ry Bonawitz, director of Kramer Dining Center.
“We are seeing more of them than ever before, and there are many different theories on the issue,” Bonawitz said. “Over the past three to five years more stu-dents are coming to college with food allergies. This includes milk, egg, peanuts, tree nuts, walnuts, fish, shellfish, soy and wheat. Gluten is our second big-
gest allergy.”Dianna Schalles, an allergy
specialist at Lafene Health Clin-ic, said food allergies frequent-ly begin in childhood and the af-fected individuals typically learn prior to college age what foods they need to avoid. She said 4 percent of adults have food aller-gies, a trend similar to K-State’s.
To combat the issue, the din-
ing center offers dietitians for students to consult with.
“We can kind of point them in the right direction,” Bonawitz said. “But it’s the ultimate re-sponsibility of the student to know what they can and can-not eat, but we can refer them to our dietician and they can help them with labels and how to identify foods.”
Bonawitz added most of their food is made from scratch and they do offer soymilk and some naturally gluten-free products in-cluding different cereals.
For students like Tara Theis, senior in elementary education, the process of finding food is not so hard.

A Manhattan woman was taken to the hospital yester-day after she failed to stop at a stop sign at an intersec-tion, according to a report from the Riley County Police Department.
The accident occurred at 7:30 a.m. at the intersection of Allen Road and Judson Street, said RCPD Lt. Herb Crosby.
Grace Knight, 79, of 1950 Judson, was driving a 2002 Kia Sedona van northbound on Judson and, after failing to stop at the stop sign at the intersection, struck an-other vehicle traveling east-bound on Allen. The driver of that vehicle was Courtney McLaurin, 26, of Junction City, according to the report.
Knight was transported to Mercy Regional Hospi-tal with non-life threatening injuries, and both vehicles were towed from the scene, Crosby said.
Knight was issued a cita-tion for inattentive driving and failure to yield right-of-way when entering an inter-section, according to the re-port.
Vehicle Burgulary
More than $3,000 worth in personal items were sto-len from an unlocked car in Manhattan earlier this week, according to a report from the Riley County Police De-partment.
The incident occurred sometime between 8 p.m. on Monday and 10:30 a.m. on Tuesday, said RCPD Lt. Herb Crosby.
The victim, Lacy Deters, 26, of 2217 Sloan St., report-ed $3,259 in electronics and jewelry stolen from her vehi-cle, which was parked out-side her residence, Crosby said.
The items include an Ap-ple iPod Nano, an iPod cig-arette charger, a pack of cig-arettes, a pair of 14 carat white gold earrings, a lady’s Gucci watch, a 14 carat Bel-larri necklace and an Omega necklace, according to the report.
No arrests have been made.

Earlier this week, the Manhattan City Commission canceled its regu-lar work session, and opted to hold a special meeting later in the week with both the City Commission and the Board of Riley County Commis-sioners. The special meeting will be held today at 4 p.m. in the City Com-mission Room at City Hall, located at 1101 Poyntz Ave.
Mayor Bob Strawn said both the Riley County commissioners and the City commissioners will discuss whether the commission will allocate the funds in order to hire a food safety inspector for the city. A proposal was presented to the commission during the March 24 commission meeting for the funding a food safety inspector, af-ter the position was removed due to budget cuts, among other reasons.

The development teams for the CicCo Park Pool held an informational meeting last night at Frank Bergman Elementary School. They are asking for community input on features they would like to see in the renovated pool.
The pool was built in 1988 and still has the original filter room and water treatment system. Part of the proposed plan is to renovate the filter room and re-place the water treatment system. Dave Schwartz of Water’s Edge Aquatic De-sign, one of the design firms on the proj-ect, said the City of Manhattan wants to get 20 more years of use out of the cur-rent pool. The design firm is planning the filter system replacement as a way of achieving that goal, Schwartz said.
Most notably in the new design, the current wading pool is removed along with its central step structure. In its place, a new shallow pool with a zero-depth entry will be constructed. Currently, the wading pool is 1,900 square feet The new pool will measure at 4,200 square feet, a considerable increase in size.
In the new shallow pool, the design teams have offered a variety of possible structures for kids to play on. Among the considerations are a toddler’s slide, water walk, current channel (small version of a lazy river without rafts) and water spray. These are the items the design firms want
the public’s opinion on. “I think everybody’s just going to be
happy to have that improved play area for kids,” Schwartz said. “It will provide a more traditional, yet upgraded, facili-ty.”
He said they would also include an open-play area within the pool, some-
thing many pools forget. This would be for kids to throw Nerf balls and play games such as Marco-Polo.
But the focus is not solely on the pool area, Schwartz said. Other areas within the renovation include the concession

In a large room located at 901 Yuma, primary and second-ary education students are slow-ly learning that math, science and even spelling are a lot easier than they ever thought possible.
Tutors, many of them K-state students, pair up with one to two students and lend a helping hand with subjects in which they feel confident enough to pro-vide assistance. This big room, students and tutors are all part of the Douglas Learning Cen-ter, a local community program whose mission is to create better lives “one child at a time.”
Marianne Cullers, co-found-er of the center and head direc-tor, said she and assistant direc-tor Don Slater started the center in January 1996, a few months after she retired from the educa-tion field.
“I quit teaching September 1995, my cat and dog had died, and my daughter had had a sur-gery, so I was worn out,” Cullers
said. “I was asked to tutor and I had time, so I showed up with a pad of paper and two pencils.”
Every Monday, Tuesday, and Wednesday from 5 to 7 p.m., a diverse group of students show up to do homework or study for tests. After completing the homework, the students are encouraged to work on work-sheets, provided in personalized folder, that are geared toward helping them improve academi-cally in subjects that are difficult for them.
Katherine Rimer, seventh grade student at Dwight D. Eisenhower Middle School, said that the learning center has giv-en her a good learning experi-ence.
“The tutors have really helped me, and my grade is going up,” Rimer said.
Cullers said the learning cen-ter tutors kids between kinder-garten and 12th grade, but pre-schoolers can also come if there are enough tutors.
Originally, the Douglas Learn-
ing Center was meant for high school kids, but kids from grade school started showing up, and the mission was modified. Cull-ers started recruiting from her aerobics class and a retired teachers group as a way to cope with all grade school students.
Taylor McLemore, freshman in elementary education, is a frequent volunteer at the cen-ter, and she was also named the 2010 Outstanding K-state Stu-dent Volunteer by the K-State Volunteer Center of Manhattan.
“I picked this service proj-ect because I’m in the education field, and it’s allowing me to get experience with kids before I’m even in the classroom,” McLem-ore said. “It’s helped me learn that this is something I want to do with my life.”
McLemore said she is at the learning center almost every week for two hours each day on Mondays and Wednesdays.
Part of the enticement for Mc-Lemore is the chance to work with international students be-
cause of the communication gap.
“I’ve worked with many in-ternational students, and it has been a big challenge for me to overcome the language barri-ers, and it has taught me how to communicate in a lot of differ-ent ways, as well as a lot about different cultures.”
When students are not work-ing on homework or extra work-sheets, the students can read books provided in the center, or tutors can participate in learning games with their charges. Some of the notable games involve multiplication and fake mon-ey, but there are also games that are more recognizable and less learning-focused, like Scrabble and Apples to Apples.
K-State helps make the servic-es provided by the learning cen-ter possible, and Cullers indicat-ed it would be hard for the cen-ter to exist without volunteers from K-State.
“Many of our tutors are from service clubs on campus, some
are from the volunteer center, and some hear about it through their friends,” Cullers said.
Chimes Junior Honorary So-ciety, the National Society of Collegiate Scholars, and dual language classes are a few of the many groups that help mentor students at the Douglas Learn-ing Center.
Students who want to volun-teer have to fill out a contact form saying when they can vol-unteer, and the kids have to sign a behavior pledge with their parents as well as a slip granting the center permission to receive class information from teach-ers. This helps the center figure out what additional games and worksheets they need to add to the students’ folders.
Cullers said there are many students in need of tutors this year, and some nights see as many as 25 kids seeking help. Potential tutors are always wel-come, as long as they have a good attitude and are eager to help “one child at a time.”

In a capitalistic society, the importance of certain aspects of life are directly re-lated to the money spent on them. Such is the case at K-State. Seven out of the 10 top paid employees at K-State are sports coaches, ac-cording to a recent article in the Manhattan Mercury.
That professional sports coaches make ludicrous amounts of money is ri-diculous. So what adjec-tive describes the insani-ty of college coaches mak-ing millions of dollars? Ab-surd doesn’t seem strong enough. An university can justify spending over $2 mil-lion a year on a head foot-ball coach, but can also jus-tify the need to raise tuition for people trying to get an education.
The average faculty salary at K-State is $70,000 a year. That’s less than one-tenth of what men’s basketball coach Frank Martin makes.
The former president of the university, Jon Wefald, made $301,980 a year. The dean of the College of Engi-neering John English makes $246,549 a year. Martin makes more than both of these men combined.
The average full professor makes $111,046 a year, ac-cording to the Mercury arti-cle. Bill Snyder is the highest paid employee of K-State, making $2.6 million a year. Financially speaking, at K-State the football coach is worth 23.9 professors.
What kind of image are we trying to portray to the academic world? That we enjoy football more than we enjoy learning? K-State was the first land-grant universi-ty created after the Morrill Act of 1862. Land-grant uni-versities were created in re-sponse to the industrial rev-olution to provide education in agriculture and the me-chanical arts.
No disrespect to Bill Sny-der and Frank Martin; both are great coaches that have turned our programs into nationally respected athletic teams. But should the finan-cial focus of our university really be athletics?
Think of the brilliant minds we could mold if we took this money and used it to develop new teaching strategies, create more vac-cines for swine pathogens; award more scholarships, or fund any aspect of educa-tion instead of sports.
Imagine if we paid Pres-ident Schulz like he was a hero of the university, ap-plauded him when he made changes that helped stu-dents; cheered him for try-ing to improve our image in the world of academia; gave a standing ovation if he took power away from athlet-ics and gave it back to edu-cation. These are the things we should cheer for, the true victories of our institution of higher education.

I thought it was totally ridicu-lous when Topeka renamed itself “Google, Kansas” for a month, but then April Fool’s Day rolled around and Google named it-self “Topeka” for a day. I’ve been reflecting upon that for the last couple of weeks, and it occurred to me that Topeka might be on to something.
Manhattan has been trying to carve a name for itself for a long time, and although sports fans in the Midwest may be familiar with our purple colored Wildcats, a great many people have never
heard of us.I went to the Great American
Beer Festival in Denver in 2006 as part of the Brew Crew from Little Apple Brewing Company. My dad and I ran into some very nice gentlemen from a brewery in New York who were shocked to find out that not only is there a Manhattan in Kansas, but its nickname is “The Little Apple.” One of them was so charmed by the idea that he ended up trading T-shirts with my dad so he’d have evidence to show to friends and family when he got home.
I experienced the same phe-nomenon last year when I got bored and Topeka -- er, I mean Googled -- my name. I discov-ered there was an artist named Karen Ingram living in New York who even shared my middle ini-tial. On a whim, I sent her an e-mail with greetings from The Lit-tle Apple. She was so amused by the whole thing, we exchanged
post cards in the mail so she could show her friends she has a doppelganger living in the Big Apple’s doppelganger.
I’ve come to the conclusion that we need to take drastic mea-sures to get the Little Apple on the map for all to see. This is why I propose that we temporarily re-name Manhattan, like Topeka did, to grab the attention of the Big Apple and the rest of the na-tion.
But what to name ourselves? There are so many choices. Am-azon? Yahoo!? Hampsterdance.com?
No, we need something catchy. That is why I vote for “The Fail Whale.”
Yes, the Fail Whale from Twit-ter is just what we need to steal the hearts and imaginations of people everywhere. It is the per-fect analogy for this town.
You disagree? You think “Fail Whale” is a little too negative
of a name? Consider this: Man-hattan was founded by accident when a steamboat headed for what is now Junction City ran aground on a sand bar in the riv-er. That’s right, folks: we’re not even supposed to be here. If that doesn’t spell “Fail Whale,” Kan-sas, then I don’t know what does.
Yes, Manhattan is the charm-ing town in Kansas that was founded by dumb luck and fueled by football. When I look at a pic-ture of Twitter’s cute and charm-ing little Fail Whale being carried in a net by birds, I see the oppor-tunity to change those birds into tiny little Willie Wildcats with wings.
This is the chance of a lifetime, people. Let’s change Manhat-tan into the Fail Whale and tell the whole world what’s Manhap-penin’ in Kansas.

Don’t feel like making supper but can’t spend money because you went wild and crazy over spring break? Well here are a
few tips for going out and about Manhat-tan. Be smart and look for student dis-counts wherever you go!
1. Freddie’s Frozen Custard gives all students a 10 percent discount every day.
2. Look for nightly specials. Buffalo Wild Wings offers discounted wings Tues-day through Thursday.
3. 2 p.m. through 4 p.m. is “Happy Hour” at Sonic, but you probably already knew that.
4. Use the coupon books that you picked up at the beginning of the se-mester. Just keep in mind the expiration dates.
5. The Golden Wok Chinese restau-
rant gives students a discount for eating there. Also, try going during the lunch hour — it’s cheaper and freshly made!
6. GTM Sportswear gives out a stu-dent discount as well. Don’t forget they also have a clearance room full of good-ies as well.
7. If you’re of age, check out the lo-cal bars in Aggieville to see what they all have for student discounts or weekly/weekend specials.
8. Join “Wildcats Forever.” It’s a stu-dent alumni association at K-State. Just pay a fee of $15 for a free shirt and glass, and get a ton of discounts that are printed on the back of the card. Plac-
es that give discounts are Ballards Sport-ing Goods, Bronze Image Tanning, Fe-dEx Kinkos, Lemmy’s Pizzeria, Old Chi-cago, Zotcis Attire and many other places around the Manhattan area.
9. Also, look for ads in the K-State Collegian. Great way to pass time in class, right?
As you can see, there are a lot of plac-es around Manhattan that give out dis-counts. You just have to look for them, ask and see if they have any and try to keep it cheap.

An international student at a winter clothing drive selects sever-al heavy coats, even though he al-ready owns one. When questioned about it by an adviser, the student explains he believes American fash-ion dictates that wearing the same winter coat every day is unaccept-able.
International Student and Schol-ar Services, or ISSS, has addressed many simple misunderstandings and larger crises in its efforts to help in-ternational students at K-State ad-just to life in Kansas, said Karl An-derson, an international student ad-viser.
“We work with the students once they get here,” Anderson said. “We introduce them to campus and give them the information they need to adjust to campus. We’re their main point of contact on campus for im-migration and work issues.”
ISSS director Sara Thurston-Gonzalez said the department pri-marily advises K-State’s nearly 1,700 international students about immigration issues.
“We help the students get work permission, bring dependents, if they want to travel, any sort of im-migration-type issue,” she said.
Another role of the department, Thurston-Gonzalez said, is to as-sist students in crisis situations, like problems in their home countries or personal struggles here. For exam-ple, ISSS reached out to students from Haiti and Chile after the earth-quakes there earlier this semester.
Thurston-Gonzalez explained that in times of crisis, ISSS con-tacts students, informs them of gov-ernment programs that may help them, inquires about family issues, deals with the media and provides resources.
Besides offering guidance to stu-dents during stressful circumstanc-es, Thurston-Gonzalez said ISSS also operates numerous programs and social events for internation-al students. ISSS’s International Buddies program pairs an Ameri-can student with an internation-al student, creating opportunities to learn about culture, practice lan-guage skills and make friends.
Basic Language Training, or BLT, is a six-week language program or-ganized by ISSS. It allows native speakers to teach their languages to students and community mem-bers who enroll. BLT is offered in both the spring and fall semesters, but the languages being taught dif-fer each time, Anderson explained.
“There’s always people interested in taking courses,” Anderson said. “I’m always kind of amazed at the number of international students who take the courses.”
Liliana Baquero, an internation-al graduate student from Colombia, has taught Spanish three times for BLT. She said she enjoys it because of the flexibility of the curriculum and the attitude of the students.
“I teach whatever I want to teach,” Baquero said. “People are really motivated, and I like that. And it’s a little extra cash.”
ISSS also manages an event
called Coffee Hour, which allows international students to give pre-sentations about their countries. Baquero and two other Colombians hosted the most recent event.
“Colombia has a really bad rep-utation,” she said, adding that Cof-fee Hour created an opportunity to correct inaccurate views of her nation. She said it is re-warding to be an ambas-sador for her country by leading Coffee Hour.
Coffee Hour is every oth-er Friday and aver-ages 100
a t t e n d -ees, Ander-son said. The audience usual-ly includes a mix of American and in-ternational students, as well as members of the community.
“They are the ones that al-ways come,” Anderson said of Manhattan residents. “I recognize them from Fri-day to Friday. The commu-nity has found out about it, and they’ve just kind of made it a part of their every other Friday routine.”
Anderson said he thinks the com-munity and the university work well together to meet international stu-dents and get to know them.
“In general, the university does a really good job of welcoming the international students here,” Anderson said. “I think the community of Manhattan does that as well. Our office does a very good job of making sure that we’re always here for students.”

K-State fell for the second straight day to the Brigham Young Universi-ty Cougars and was swept for the first time all season after a 13-10 defeat in Provo, Utah yesterday afternoon. The Wildcat pitching staff was battered once again as they gave up 18 Cougar hits after giving up 14 hits and 15 runs in Tuesday’s contest.
The Wildcats managed to pound out 18 hits of their own but did most of their damage late in the ballgame after falling behind to the Cougars 11-1 af-ter five innings.
For the second straight day, the Wildcats jumped in front 1-0 early in the game. Senior Adam Muenster laced a double down the left field line to lead off the third inning and later scored on sophomore Nick Martini’s sacrifice fly. Once again, however, the Wildcat pitching staff could not hold the lead, and things went south in a hurry.
The Cougars sent 11 hitters to the plate in a six-run third inning while racking up seven hits. Starting pitch-er Justin Lindsey (2-2) suffered his second loss of the season after a sin-gle and consecutive doubles scored three Cougar runs. Lindsey gave way to freshman Robert Hawkins, who
promptly allowed a single for Lind-sey’s fourth earned run. BYU got two more runs on a wild pitch and an RBI-single before freshman Jake Doller got a strikeout to end the inning.
The boys from Provo weren’t done, as they tacked on five more runs in the fifth inning to put the game away for good. BYU was led at the plate by Brandon Relf, Mark Anderson and Stephen Wells, who each recorded three hits. Catcher Bryce Ayoso also had two hits and belted a solo home run. Cougar starter Chris Howard (1-0) picked up the win, throwing four innings and giving up one run on six hits.
The Wildcats managed to plate nine runs in the last three innings, but it wasn’t enough as they fell to 23-8 on the year. K-State did see some posi-tive signs from some reserves. Fresh-man Ryan Moore went 2 for 2 with a double and three RBIs. Martini also kept his average well above .400 with a 3-for-3 performance. Backup catch-er Chase Graskewicz also had three hits while starting catcher Daniel Del-lasega, who served as the designated hitter, had three hits as well. Muenster went 2 for 4 and added a stolen base to his school-record total of 63.
K-State will resume Big 12 action this weekend at Tointon Family Stadi-
um as they host the Baylor Bears for a three-game series beginning Friday. The Wildcats are currently second in the conference with a 6-3 record while

Wildcats drop second game of BYU roadtrip
Cat Fights
I’ll level with you - I don’t know much about baseball.
I can’t tell you the differ-ence between a fastball and curveball mid-flight. Nope. I can’t do it. I won’t even try.
As shoddy as my base-ball knowledge is, I can tell you Brad Hill has done an amazing job with K-State baseball. Hill was a stud prior to coming to Manhat-tan, winning more than 80 percent of his games over a nine-season tenure. He led a Division II squad to sev-en College World Series ap-pearances and won a na-tional title.
I don’t care what sport it is — football, basketball, swimming, curling or hot dog-eating contests. Win-ning more than 80 percent of your contests is impres-sive.
Even after losing Big 12 Pitcher of the Year A.J. Morris, Hill has his team poised to win 40 games for the second consecutive sea-son. Never thought I would mention 40 and wins in the same sentence after last sea-son, but with Hill, nothing is impossible.
Although his team dropped two games to BYU, Hill’s team can stay in any game. The bat cats are defi-nitely that. While this team is not going to overwhelm you with sheer power, con-sistent hitting keeps this team in contention.
Prior to Hill, the names that resonated deepest with K-State baseball were Craig Wilson and Earl Woods.
Under Hill, K-State base-ball has accomplished some firsts. K-State defeated Tex-as in the 2005 series finale, which was not only the first win over Texas in 17 tries, but also the first win over a No. 1-ranked team. Three years later, K-State would make its first appearance in the Big 12 title game. In 2009, Morris became the school’s first ever consensus All-American.
This column is not mean to disparage what former coach Mike Clark accom-plished, but Hill, with help from former athletics direc-tor Tim Weiser, has turned K-State baseball into a re-gional power.
Hill was able to secure commitments from high school All-Americans. K-State had never been to an NCAA regional, yet Hill was able to convince these young men to leave the plush climates of Arizona and Texas and head to Man-hattan.
Hill did not rest on his laurels. No, Hill improved the talent he had and has put K-State baseball on the map.
I can only imagine the talent Hill can sway with more than an NCAA re-gional on his resume as a Division I skipper. Hill seems to be in good compa-ny. Bill Snyder orchestrat-ed the greatest turnaround in college football history. Frank Martin is in the midst of turning K-State basket-ball around.
I am not going to com-pare Hill’s success to that of Bill Snyder. It would not be fair to Hill or Snyder. Just last September, Hill signed a contract that will keep him in Manhattan for four more years.
After signing the contract, Hill said he and his family have enjoyed their first six years and look forward to spending more time in Man-hattan.
Well, Brad, I think I speak for every K-State fan when I say you are welcome to stay as long as you like.

Europe has seen its fair share of despots, conquerors and bloody wars, but now it will face its great-est challenge yet: the K-State volley-ball team.
This summer, the team will go on a whirlwind tour across the pond, playing in Hungary, Slovenia and It-aly. Head coach Suzie Fritz said her team is looking forward to the trip.
“It’s just really exciting for them,” Fritz said. “I think it’s a great oppor-tunity for them.”
Two years ago, the volleyball team was packed and ready to take China by storm, but the day before its de-parture, the group backing the trip declared bankruptcy, and the team had to cancel its plans. ESPN’s Out-side the Lines ran a feature on the conundrum, which caught the eye of a new benefactor.
William Edington read the piece and decided to right the wrong. With his non-profit organization, USA Athletes International, that sends young teams to play against interna-tional competition, Edington donat-ed the money to send the Wildcats abroad.
“We’ve very thankful, because USA Athletes International is basi-cally providing this trip for us, and, in essence, trying to make it right for our China trip that fell through,” Fritz said. “If it wasn’t for them, we wouldn’t have this opportunity.”
Leaving spring semester, the team will spend most of its time in Hun-gary and Slovenia on its 10-day tour, hitting Italy for a quick stop before coming home. Fritz said this will be a good chance to learn from differ-ent volleyball teams.
“Playing at an international level of competition and having an oppor-tunity to play some different styles and some different things, I think, is always very valuable,” Fritz said. “We’re pretty young, and we need as much match experience as we can get right now.”
The team will release match out-comes and post pictures of its trav-els daily on kstatesports.com, and one player will update fans every other day on the experience.

April 18-24 is volunteer appreci-ation week, and FHCC has plenty of options for college students who want to help out the clinic of need volunteer hours.
FHCC, Flint Hills Communi-ty Clinic, is an organization that provides health care to those who cannot afford it. Their mission is to understand and serve the health and wellness needs of the medical-ly under-served in our community by providing quality, compassion-ate and personalized care.
FHCC is always looking for ad-ministrative volunteers to help with data entry, filing, answering phones and even assisting within cleaning the facility. They especial-ly need clinical volunteers though, so if you are a CNA, EMT or have any medical certification, your time would be greatly appreciated. FHCC can also provide internships to college students in fields such as nursing, accounting, Spanish and public relations.
Sandra Salas, a K-State student who is currently perusing a degree in Biology with an ultimate goal of medical school, explains, “Vol-unteering at the clinic has allowed me exposure to the medical field in general. It has also allowed me to help the Hispanic community in
Manhattan, because I am able to interpret for them. I think that this is vital in their care because this way all of their medical concerns are addressed and they do not feel as intimidated to talk to a physi-cian.”
Salas also said, “I really enjoy volunteering at the clinic because all of the volunteer staff is fun to work with. Not only are the volun-teer staff great but so are Meghan and Sue Ann. They are both very devoted to their work and also en-joyable to be around. This makes volunteering easier, and more en-joyable.”
Another way to help if you are in a school organization, fraterni-ty or sorority is to have a fundraiser and donate the money raised to the clinic. FHCC is a non-profit organi-zation so they rely on donations to continue to help the community.
If you would like to support FHCC it is located at 401 Hous-ton Street and you can contact Meghan Finnegan or Sue Ann Wright at 785-323-4351. Dona-tions are accepted by mail or you are welcome to stop by the clinic.

Students in the department of hos-pitality management and dietetics will be traveling to Alaska this sum-mer to learn about the native culture and provide community health edu-cation to remote Eskimo villages.
Kelcii Peck, senior in dietetics and nutrition exercise, and Chelsi This-sen, senior in dietetics and public health nutrition, were chosen from a pool of about 100 applicants around the nation to intern with the Norton Sound Health Corporation in Nome, Alaska.
“This is very exciting for us,” said Deborah Canter, department head and professor of hospitality manage-ment and dietetics. “Two of the eight positions were filled by K-State stu-dents.”
Peck said she found out about the opportunity through a mass e-mail and was intrigued by it. After filling out a long application, she was inter-viewed by phone and found out she got the position only a few days lat-er.
Peck and Thissen will be working for the Chronic Care Active Man-agement and Prevention Depart-ment (CAMP) as part of a program for the youth of Nome. The program is designed to help prevent diabetes
and healthy living, according to the corporation Web site, www.norton-soundhealth.org.
“This really is a unique opportuni-ty to go to a very beautiful locations and to work with locals in Alaska,” Canter said. “The two girls that are going combine nutrition with physi-cal activities, things that children are really going to be attracted to.”
The students will be working for 40 hours a week. They will be plan-ning and teaching nutrition and ex-ercise classes and organizing differ-ent types of physical activities for children, including cooking, fishing and kayaking.
“I am very excited to see a differ-ent culture, even though it is still in the U.S.,” Peck said. “It will be inter-esting to have 24 hours of sunlight.”
Peck said she traveled to New Zealand last summer and would ulti-mately like to work with special pop-ulations in third world countries.
Students are encouraged to get unique experiences like this one in the U.S. or abroad, Canter said.
“You’re never the same person af-ter you’ve stepped outside your com-fort zone,” she said. “It is enriching. It makes you a better person and a better professional no matter what you end up doing.”

“I thought it would be a lot more diffi-cult than it is,” Theis said. “I met with our dining center’s dietitian and she did a great job of helping me navigate the foods that I should and should not eat. So far there hasn’t been a day that there was just noth-ing I couldn’t find.”
However, Rivarola wishes there were more markings on campus foods and said it would be good to have a list of foods she could eat when there is not time to cook or when she is running back and forth be-tween home and campus.
Bonawitz admits there is a shortage of labels on dining center food.
“We are unable to label simply due to the large amount of food we serve in the dining halls, which is a separate entity than the Food Court in the Union, which is run by Cartwells,” she said.
She added that students should seek out one of the 102 dietitians employed if they need help with choosing their food.
“Don’t freak out if you find out you have a food allergy,” Theis said. “I found that it really isn’t as bad as it seemed at first.”

stand, bathhouse and slides. They would like to extend the concessions stand and renovate the bathhouse and changing rooms. One possible addition is a family changing area.
In the large pool that is cur-rently there, the team is giving the community several options to consider for enhancing it. Large floating pool toys, a bas-ketball goal and waterslide are attractions they are looking to add to the main pool area.
“A big part of these design is not just to decide things and move forward, but to have a menu of things and prioritize those,” Schwartz said. “We don’t know right now what we can af-ford, so we want preferences.”
As far as financing, the city is providing $2 million for the pool renovation. The mon-ey will come from the sales tax revenue that is currently levied,
so there will be no sales tax in-crease for the pool, said Eddie Eastes of the Parks and Recre-ation department.
Mia Schreiner, Manhattan resident, attended the presen-tation. She said she liked how informative it was and enjoyed the design teams’ openness to suggestions.
“My main concern is safe-ty and just an expansion for the community to come together as a family and have fun,” Schrein-er said. “I like the design. There are some things I’d tweak about it, but it’s nice.”
Schwartz said the plan is still very open to change and that it is not completed. They request the community’s input on fea-tures they would like to see or concerns they may have. They ask anyone wishing to provide feedback to contact Jen Rah-ne with the HWS Consulting Group at (785) 539-2202 or [email protected]
