Career and Employment Services held their final career fair outside Holtz Hall on Tuesday. Both staff and student volunteers served ice cream to passing students and handed out information about summer jobs and internships.

“Very similar to our bar-becue at the beginning of the year, this is our end of the year event,” said Kerri Keller, CES director. “We have staff from every col-lege available today at this event.”

Booths for different major areas, such as arts and sciences, business and engineering, were set up in a line to intercept students on their way to class. Stu-dents that stopped for ice cream were also given in-formation specific to their major about possible career opportunities.

“I’m giving out a list of current jobs and intern-ships for engineering stu-dents,” said Brian Neigh-bors, assistant director of CES and liaison to the Col-lege of Engineering. “My handouts also include my contact information. All of our sheets are specific to the students in our areas.”

Keller said she thought students enjoyed the idea of free ice cream, and also said the event provided some-thing useful for students.

“We’re not here to try to sell them anything,” Keller said. “We just want people to know that we’re out here and recognize us as a friendly face.”

In addition to ice cream, racks of professional cloth-ing were hung outside next to the booths. CES ac-cepts clothing donations throughout the year to create a closet of profes-sional attire for students to use for job or internship in-terviews. All of the clothes are available for free.

“We’re calling it our ‘In-ventory Reduction Sale,’” Keller said.

The CES fair also provid-ed students with instruc-tions to get career informa-tion on their own.

Mary Ellen Barkley, CES liaison to the College of Ag-riculture, explained how to activate a student’s online CES account.

“Every student’s CES account is free to access,” Barkley said. “Once you do that, you can set up a system to email you regularly when new career options open up for your field.”

All of the staff is willing to help students with ques-

tions, both now and during the summer, she said.

“Sometimes students need help with the process, and they can always contact us,” Barkley said.

Student volunteers were active in helping keep the event organized, as well as

inviting students over to the booths to get information.

“We have a lot of stu-dent staff helping us today,” Keller said. “This is really a low maintenance event, so we didn’t need as many vol-unteers.”

Keller said she was glad

that she had the opportu-nity to have a final event to expose CES to students.

“This is just a fun way to get word out for CES,” Keller said. “We like to share with students that we’re open during the summer, business as usual.”

Editor’s Note: This article was completed as an assign-ment for a class in the A.Q. Miller School of Journalism and Mass Communications.

The Graduate School at K-State is a part of campus that may not always get the same amount of exposure as the undergraduate program. K-State offers 65 master’s degrees, 45 doctoral degrees and 22 graduate certificates in multiple disciplines across campus.

While many graduate stu-dents are working toward scholastic achievements, some decide to take the role

of a graduate teaching assis-tant to help them gain expe-rience as a facilitator of cur-riculum in a classroom.

GTAs contribute to the university by teaching un-dergraduate coursework to students as well as partici-pating in research activities within various departments on campus.

Adam Miller, GTA for the department of modern lan-guages, teaches Spanish II courses and said becoming a GTA is a meticulous process, and candidates must demon-strate in-depth knowledge of the field as well as the abil-ity to present the curriculum well.

“We’re all well-versed in our trades and have been trained very well. We have to apply, interview, and be evaluated on our previous coursework,” Miller said. “Additionally, we have to mi-cro-teach lesson plans while our supervisors pretend to be prospective students.”

Amanda Frank, GTA for communications studies and assistant debate coach, said that there is more to becom-ing a GTA than academic background.

“I think undergraduate students forget or do not know what other responsibil-ities tenured professors have,” Frank said. “Undergraduate

students are correct in that GTAs do not have as much credentials, but they are not correct in that academic cre-dentials always equate with better teaching. In the case of public speaking, a Ph.D. in a nuanced area of communica-tion studies such as the rheto-ric of science would not make me a better teacher.”

A good share of under-graduate students will find themselves being taught by GTAs, rather than a professor with a Ph.D. under their belt.

The role of a GTA is not as simple as it may seem. GTAs are required to complete lesson plans, create assess-ments for students and also provide office hours for stu-dent consultations. Usually, most have to do all of this in addition to also participating in research efforts for their departments.

Miller said GTA candi-dates have to go through sev-eral “simulations,” in which they demonstrate a mock

lesson plan to their supervi-sors.

“This simulation is done to evaluate our teaching abilities and is quite nerve-wracking,” Miller said.

Many GTAs receive criti-cism from undergraduate students, who often think that GTAs aren’t as knowl-edgeable as professors or have as much teaching experience.

April Lewis, freshman in journalism and mass com-munications, said she had mixed feelings about taking a course taught by a GTA.

“They are younger so they can relate to you better some-times,” Lewis said. “But since they don’t have as much ex-perience they don’t always do the best job of explaining things or grading. Professors are more professional usually and they know more about what they are talking about. They get things done quicker than GTAs.”

While not everyone con-siders physics their favorite subject, Boris Kayser, distin-guished scientist at the U.S. Department of Energy’s Fermi National Accelerator Labora-tory, kept his presentation on neutrinos humorous and easy to understand for all audience members on Tuesday after-noon.

A crowd of science enthu-siasts, K-State students and community members gath-ered in the Leadership Studies building to listen to him speak.

According to Kayser, neu-trinos are extremely tiny, ghost-like particles, about 1,000 times smaller than the nucleus of an atom, but are vital to life on Earth. Neutri-nos have a mass, although it is at least a million times smaller than the mass of the next light-est particle, the electron.

This presentation, a part of the Peterson Public Lecture Series, aimed to explain the nature of neutrinos, their pres-ence in our universe and their importance.

“For every electron, for every proton, for every neu-tron, there are about a billion neutrinos,” Kayser said. “It’s the neutrinos and photons, particles that make up light beams, that are by far the most abundant particles in the uni-verse. They are so abundant, such a key feature of our uni-verse, that if we want to under-stand the universe we have to understand neutrinos.”

He explained that within each cubic meter of space, there are approximately 340 million neutrinos. As a result, there are about 30 million neutrinos inside each human being and with every second there are 100 trillion neutrinos from the sun passing through each person. The sun shines because of nuclear fusion re-actions, which produces the energy to make both neutri-nos and life on Earth possible, Kayser said.

“If there were no neutri-nos, the sun would not shine,” he said. “There would be no energy from the sun to keep us warm and there would be no carbon, which is a major component of us and the Earth. There would also be no oxygen, and since water is made up of both, there would be no water. Without neutri-nos, there would be no life.”

Kayser noted that another way neutrinos are largely re-sponsible for how our universe presently functions has to do with the amounts of matter and antimatter. He said after the Big Bang, the theorized start of the universe, there were equal parts of matter and antimatter, but today our uni-verse consists of all matter and no antimatter. This change in matter has recently been ex-plained by neutrinos.

“A recent theory has devel-oped, which is that the neutri-nos may have something very important to do with how the universe came to be domi-nated by matter and have no antimatter,” he said. “Life is possible only because there is no antimatter around. When matter and antimatter meet, they annihilate each other.”

He said there are three va-rieties, or flavors, of neutrinos: the electron, the muon and the tau neutrino, and each of these flavors have different masses.

Financial literacy, or a lack thereof, is an issue that many people around the nation and world face. As the world economy continues the current rollercoaster of ups and downs, staying financially literate can make or break monetary success.

The National Financial Educators Council defines someone who is financially literate as one who possesses “the skills and knowledge on financial matters to confidently take ef-fective action that best fulfills an individual’s personal, family and global community goals.”

According to the National Foundation for Credit Counseling’s 2011 Consumer Financial Literacy Report, however, financial literacy is on the decline. In fact, only 57 percent of survey respondents gave themselves an A or a B when describing their knowledge of personal finance.

While many of us students may not experi-ence some of the more complex financial situa-tions, it is always important to be aware of how the world of money works.

Here are five ways to improve your financial literacy:

1. Read as much as you can handleStudents today have access to a wealth of

resources that they can utilize to further their financial knowledge. In addition to reading financial publications such as Forbes Magazine or the Wall Street Journal, students can also consult online resources to help expose them-selves to current events.

Reading about companies’ business strate-gies, the latest happenings in the stock market and even the biographies of the most successful business leaders in the world can introduce fundamental concepts that can lead students to a deeper understanding of how to handle their own finances.

2. Don’t be afraid to ask questionsNot all information is straightforward and

easy to understand. That’s why asking questions is perhaps one of the most vital aspects of improving your financial literacy.

Going above and beyond to investigate past the surface of financial issues can give you an edge over the average person. K-Staters also have a unique edge; groups such as Career and Employment Services and Powercat Financial Counseling offer free, in-depth advice and training on personal finance topics.

3. Find a mentorOften times, a mentor can be your go-to

person for help in answering questions or giving advice on finance-related issues. Although a select few students may be able to afford hiring a financial adviser, most of us will have to resort to free advice.

You may be surprised to find, however, that many professionals and even professors are more than willing to answer questions and lend a helping hand. Staying after class and picking your professors’ brains, or even just walk-ing into a bank or an investment firm for an informational session may lead to answers you never even imagined you could extract from people.

4. Familiarize yourself with the termsHaving even a basic knowledge of the ev-

eryday terms can help you not only understand the often complicated vocabulary that is associ-ated with the finance field, but it can also help you converse with peers and mentors.

Sooner or later, we are going to be thrust out into the real world where credit card compa-nies, mortgage firms and banks are going to expect customers to understand these types of terms when doing things like opening accounts or taking out loans. Students might as well start to learn them now because, like they say, you can’t teach an old dog new tricks.

5. Take responsibility for your own finances Although many students may not yet be

completely financially independent, it would be in the best interest of many K-Staters to start learning how to take care of their own finances. This could include things like paying your own bills, creating a budget or even opening new accounts.

By taking on real world responsibilities, stu-dents who have never even heard of terms such as “annual percentage rate” or “certificate of deposit,” will soon have enough experience to have basic knowledge of financial topics. When learning the language of finance, immersion may prove to be the best technique.

Center for the Advancement of Entrepreneurship guides young business leaders, offers start-up assistance

Bretton Atercontributing writer

Editor’s Note: This article was completed as an assignment for a class in the A.Q. Miller School of Journalism and Mass Communications.

Being prepared for life after college is what many students at K-State are striving for. In this day and age, it is starting to become a necessity to be in-novative and determined.

All are aspiring for a prom-ising future, and since 2008 there has been a program on campus that provides students an opportunity to develop their creative business minds.

The Center for the Ad-vancement of Entrepreneur-ship is fairly new to campus, and according to the Center’s website, entrepreneurship is currently rated as the fastest growing major at K-State.

The program is open to any

and every student on campus, not just business students. The Center’s faculty work to not only educate future entre-preneurs but also to provide them with opportunities on campus to use that knowledge no matter what field their en-trepreneurial endeavors may land them in, said Jeff Horn-sby, director of the Center for the Advancement of Entrepre-neurship.

“We encourage students with good ideas to go for it, with proper assistance of course,” Hornsby said.

Geoffrey Miller, senior in industrial engineering, and Mark Haynes, graduate student in industrial engineering, tinker with their printer in Haynes’ garage on April 11, before placing second in the graduate division of the Next Big Thing Competition. Miller and Haynes’ company Free Works LLC has been invited to be the first manufacturing company in the venture accelerator.

Despite being within one run of the Wichita State Shockers Tues-day night, the K-State Wildcats were routed by the Shockers 10-3. The Shockers put up a combined six runs in the sixth and seventh innings, leaving the Wildcats too much of a deficit to recover from. Junior pitcher TJ McGreevy earned the win for the Shockers in Wichi-ta’s Eck Stadium while sophomore Jared Moore was credited with the loss for the Wildcats. The Shockers are now 29-20 overall, while the Wildcats fell to 19-28.

Sophomore center fielder Jared King had an impressive day at the plate, getting three hits in four at-bats and accounting for an RBI. Senior shortstop Jake Brown and junior right fielder Tanner Witt each went 2-for-3 on the night as well.

However, the Shockers’ offensive attack simply outdueled the Wild-cats all night. Junior first baseman Johnny Coy went 5-for-5 on the day with three RBIs, and sopho-more left fielder Micah Green ac-counted for three more hits and two RBIs.

The Shockers grabbed a 4-0 lead after scoring two runs in the second and third innings. However, the Wildcats began to claw themselves

back into the game with a RBI-sin-gle in the fourth inning by infielder junior Jon Davis, followed by a sacrifice-fly by freshman infielder

Austin Fisher and a RBI-single by King in the fifth inning, putting the score at 4-3.

After pulling within one run, the

Wildcats were given the kill shot in the bottom of the sixth inning, where the Shockers poured in four runs. In the inning, the Shock-ers got five consecutive batters on base, four of them off hits. Coy also lined a double to left field that scored two runs.

Mistakes then plagued the Wild-cats in the bottom of the seventh, where freshman pitcher Robert Youngdahl balked home what was the second of two runs in the inning for the Shockers, putting the score at 10-3, where it would stay for the remainder of the game.

The Shockers’ win over the Wildcats marks the second one of the year over their in-state rivals. The first came on April 24 in Man-hattan, where the two teams went 15 innings before the Shockers won 9-7.

The Wildcats come home to Manhattan on Friday for a three-game weekend series with the Nebraska-Omaha Mavericks. The Mavericks have struggled mightily this season, only pulling in 12 wins compared to 32 losses.

For the Shockers, they travel to Terre Haute, Ind. for a three-game series with the Indiana State Syca-mores starting on Friday.

NBA

Amare Stoudemire, star power forward for the New York Knicks, cut his hand in an unclear incident following the Knicks second game against the Miami Heat on Monday.

Ian Begley wrote in a story on ESPNNewYork.com that “Stoudemire punched a glass casing surrounding a fire ex-tinguisher minutes after the New York Knicks’ loss to the Miami Heat, according to a team source. The Knicks power forward suffered lacerations on his left hand which required stitches.”

The Knicks lost 104-94 to go down 2-0 thus far in the seven-game series.

“I am so mad at myself right now, I want to apologize to the fans and my team, not proud of my actions, headed home for a new start,” Stoudemire wrote on Twitter about two hours

after the game.Begley wrote that, according

to a league source, Stoudemire will most likely miss game 3 of the series with the possibility of being out the rest of the series.

MLB Delmon Young received a

seven-day suspension without pay from Major League Base-ball on Monday following his arrest for a hate crime harass-ment charge he received last week in New York.

“Those associated with our game should meet the respon-sibilities and standards that stem from our game’s stature as a social institution,” com-missioner Bud Selig said in a statement. “An incident like this cannot and will not be tol-erated. I understand that Mr. Young is regretful, and it is my expectation that he will learn from this unfortunate episode.”

Young will lose ap-proximately $257,240 of his $6,725,000 salary and he will

be eligible for reinstatement from the restricted list on May 4.

NFL The St. Louis Rams are

making steps toward improv-ing their stadium, the Edward Jones Dome, in hopes of making sure the team stays in St. Louis long-term.

The Rams, refusing to re-lease the details, submitted its counterproposal to the St. Louis Convention and Visitors Commission on Tuesday.

The Rams can legally sepa-rate from its 30-year lease after the 2014 season if the dome is not considered to be among the best NFL stadiums.

The original CVC plan in-cluded $124 million worth of improvements that included a massive scoreboard, new club seats, windows to add natural light and a 50,000-square-foot attachment for electronic ex-perts and fantasy football play-ers.

The men’s golf team wrapped up its season last weekend at the Big 12 Con-ference Championships, held at the Whispering Pines Golf Club in Trinity, Texas. The Wildcats carded a total score of 75-over-par 1,227 to finish in ninth place overall.

K-State stayed mostly con-sistent with its team scores over the tournament’s four rounds, carding totals of 307, 304, 307 and 309. The team par for each round was set at 288 on the par-72 course.

“We didn’t do our best this weekend,” said head coach Tim Norris. “We had a few nice rounds, but we struggled in spots as well.”

Texas A&M, ranked 15th nationally, took home its first-ever Big 12 Championship title with a 13-over-par 1,165 score for the tournament.

The Aggies held off the na-tion’s top-ranked team, Texas, which was just three strokes behind at 16-over-par 1,168.

Junior team captain Curtis Yonke, who was the top over-all performer for the Wildcats on the season, led the way once again for K-State with a score of 18-over-par 306 to finish in a tie for 31st overall.

Junior Ben Juffer and freshman Kyle Weldon each finished two strokes behind Yonke with twin scores of 20-over-par 308, tying for 36th place. Juffer carded a 3-over-par 75 in Sunday’s final round, while Weldon shot a 10-over-par 82.

Kyle Smell, the lone senior on the team, finished his col-legiate career with a 72-hole score of 23-over-par 311 to tie for 40th overall. His final round score on Sunday of 2-over-par 74 was the highest individual score in a round for any Wildcat over the week-

end. David Klaudt rounded out the scoring for K-State with a tally of 30-over-par 318 for the weekend to tie for 45th overall.

“The course was very tough,” Norris said. “The wind was gusting in a few spots, and not executing cor-rectly led to some bogeys for us.”

Baylor’s Joakim Mikkelsen came away with the Big 12 in-dividual championship with a total score of 3-under-par 285. His final round score of 4-under-par 68 enabled him to climb six spots on the lead-erboard and finish just two strokes ahead of Texas A&M’s Tyler Dunlap to come away with the individual title.

As the season comes to a close, the Wildcats lose just one senior in Smell. The team will look to improve next year with a roster that includes four players who competed in at least nine tournaments.

The K-State women’s golf team wrapped up their season Sunday after finishing in eighth place at the 2012 Big 12 Con-ference Championships that was played at the par 70, 6,150-yard Lawrence Country Club in Lawrence.

Oklahoma came away with its second Big 12 Champion-ship with a collective score of 64-over-par 904.

Junior Hanna Roos high-

lighted the Wildcats’ final tour-nament of the season when she improved eight strokes from the second round to the third round to record a 1-over-par 71. That improvement boosted Roos to finish in 15th place, her second top-20 finish of the season, the highest placing by a Wildcat in the Big 12 Cham-pionship since Elise Houtz in 2009.

“Hanna had a great round today,” head coach Kristi Knight said after the tournament was finished. “We got better each

day. Today was a long day with the delay in the middle of the round, but we made positive strides this season. The ladies will continue to practice and improve in the off-season.”

Roos and the rest of the Wildcats recorded their best collective score of the weekend on Sunday at 20-over-par 300 to finish with a 54-hole score of 92-over-par 932.

The Wildcats finished eight strokes behind the Texas Tech Red Raiders and 11 strokes behind the Texas A&M Aggies.

Junior Whitney Pyle, the only other Wildcat in the top-20, shot an 8-over-par 78 on the final round to finish in a tie for 20th for her fifth top-20 finish of the season. Fresh-man Carly Ragains came in three shots behind Pyle after improving two shots from her second round to her final round to finish in a tie for 23rd at 23-over-par 233.

Despite finishing in a tie for 44th, sophomore Gianna Misenhelter notched the best improvement by a Wildcat by

cutting nine strokes off her second-round score in her final round of 5-over-par 75. Senior Ami Storey, in her final tour-nament as a Wildcat, finished right with Misenhelter in a tie for 44th shooting three rounds of 82, 80 and 83 respectively.

K-State will return seven players from this year’s team, including four, Kristen Dorsey, Laura Hildebrandt, Pyle and Roos, who will be seniors next season. Senior Paige Osterloo is the only player the Wildcats will be without next season.

Oklahoma finished with a comfortable seven-stroke lead over the second place Texas Longhorns, who finished just a stroke ahead of the third-place Baylor Bears.

Mary Michael Maggio out of Texas A&M took home the in-dividual honors after shooting three round scores of 77, 73 and 69 to finish with a total 9-over-par 219. Chirapat Jao Javanil from Oklahoma and Hayley Davis out of Baylor finished in a tie for second, just one stroke behind Maggio.

According to Miller, how-ever, GTAs are held to high standard, just as the profes-sors are.

“If we are not up to par, we’re out,” he said. “In my opinion, being an expert in your field does not neces-sarily mean you’ll be a great teacher.”

Miller said he gained a lot of experience from taking on the role of a GTA and said the transition from being a stu-dent to becoming a teacher was overwhelming at first.

“I remember my first day. When the bell rang, I had 25 students staring at me, wait-ing for me to start teaching,” Miller said. “I was basically a deer in headlights because in that moment I realized that everything that happens in this classroom is on me.”

After he realized that his students’ success depended on how well he instructed and engaged them, Miller said he was initially intimi-dated. He also said it often caught him off guard when he would see his students waiting tables at a restaurant in Aggieville.

“They try to give me free appetizers for grades, but I’m going to need at least a free meal to go with it,” he said, jokingly.

Miller also gave some perspective for those stu-dents who look down upon GTAs.

“I learned a lot as a GTA. I learned that the professors and instructors of this uni-versity work much harder than students think,” he said. “It’s a constant battle trying to create lesson plans that are both fun and innova-tive enough to keep the inter-est of the students.”

Anton Trafimovichstaff writer

NASA is planning a manned mission to Mars by the 2030s, but preparation for this long-term dis-covery has already begun. Mem-bers of the K-State kinesiology and electrical engineering departments are participating in several research projects that need to be done for this Mars mission to take place.

Six faculty members are on the current project, one of whom is Bill Kuhn, professor of electrical and computer engineering. Kuhn has gotten a chance to work for NASA before when he participated in an-other program from 2004-2007.

“My interest originated where most people who are my age’s in-terest in space originated,” Kuhn said. “We grew up during the time when NASA was sending people to the moon. Sometimes people say it shaped a generation, because it in-spired young people to see science as a pioneering effort.”

In the 2004-2007 research proj-ect, Kuhn was working on shrink-ing bulky radios, which could be used on Mars Exploration Rovers. By the end of the project, his team managed to decrease the size of the radio 100 times and its battery con-sumption 10 times.

Although that project didn’t spe-cifically include creating an actual product, the proof of concept was completed. It means the research was on its way to becoming a real radio station on the board of an off-planet mission.

Last fall, K-State received a new grant from NASA. Part of the new grant will be spent on further de-velopment of the previous radio completed in the 2004-2007 proj-ects. Researchers now get a chance to push the technology readiness level of the radio forward. Once it

is completed, K-State can propose its product to aerospace companies to use this smaller-sized radio on any off-planet missions.

“The ideal thing would be that these projects can produce a prod-uct which can go out into a compa-ny and be sold, and get people jobs and grow the high-tech business in Kansas,” Kuhn said.

Apart from Kuhn’s radio devel-opment project, there are kine-siology and biomedical research projects for NASA going on in K-State. Steven Warren, associate professor of electrical and com-puter engineering, works closely

with Thomas Barstow, professor of kinesiology, on this NASA project-ed, partially funded by the Office of Experimental Program to Stimu-late Competitive Research, as well as a separate effort funded through the NASA Human Research Pro-gram at Johnson Space Center. While Barstow develops tests to measure astronauts’ levels of con-ditioning when in space, Warren is engaged in creating wearable medi-cal sensors and algorithms to inter-pret that data.

“I think it is important to note that NASA is starting to see K-State has a lot to offer in fundamental re-

search and engineering areas that relate to NASA missions,” Warren said.

Both Barstow and Warren do other NASA research projects. Warren and his students have been involved in developing wearable biomedical devices that benefit from low power wireless transmis-sion. Batteries, said Warren, are an issue in space work, as there are no plugs to recharge any of the de-vices.

“Our extended team will need to rely on ways to harvest energy or minimize energy use,” he said.

Meanwhile, in his laboratory,

Barstow came up with a unique test that allows astronauts to reduce the number of exercises needed to measure their conditioning. It’s hard to condense all the different types of fitness characteristics in one or two tests, but the Barstow team has developed techniques that glean a lot of information.

“They [NASA] told us there is no other laboratory in the country, no other school, that’s collecting the kind of data that we are collect-ing. In that sense K-State and our project are unique,” Barstow said.

When a human being goes to space, virtually every part of the body deteriorates. This is the reason why Barstow’s students also work on defining the minimum level of conditioning necessary to perform tasks in space.

“So then when we go to a des-tination, the astronauts are not going to be a ball of jelly and not be able to go out and to perform their tasks,” Barstow said.

As for students, they are in-volved in all of NASA research done at K-State. Not only doctoral and master’s students, but also a lot of undergraduates work in labs, conducting calculations, with re-sults which could be used in future space missions.

“Students love it,” Kuhn said. “They know that they are doing something very cutting edge, very important. Any of those students whom I’ve seen working on either projects are very excited about working on NASA.”

Such research also stimulates the outreach of the engineering profession.

“That’s going to help with get-ting the excitement of engineering more visible at lower levels,” Kuhn said. “The world and the U.S. need more people interested in science and mathematics.”

“The Gammage Cup” was one of my favorite books when I was a child, but enough years had gone by that the details had faded, so I recently decided to read it again. It was better than I remembered, not only because I refreshed my memory about the colorful characters and action, but also because I had more insight, as an adult, into the social commentary author Carol Kendall put in her book.

“The Gammage Cup” takes place in a small village in The Land Between the Mountains where the Minnipins have lived safely and happily for hundreds of years after seeking refuge from an unspecified calamity that destroyed the world outside. This particular village goes through a rough spot when five rebels - who do such ghastly things as paint their doors red or wear colorful clothes - are exiled in an effort to restore order. These rebels discover strange beings known as “Mushrooms” are tunneling into the valley from outside of the mountain range and plan to invade and destroy the Min-nipin society. They must race against time and prejudice to warn the villagers and stop the invasion.

The book was first pub-lished in 1959 and criticizes the conformity of late ‘50s/early ‘60s America. The village

is composed of houses that all look the same, much like the cookie-cutter houses spring-ing up in suburbs all across the country. The book also celebrates nonconformity and encourages people to think for themselves. The five rebellious heroes have done nothing wrong to be banished from the village, they’re just different; poets, painters and thinkers, instead of blindly believing what the leaders tell them.

The book also touches upon the subject of global warfare. It’s never specified that the Minnipins sought refuge in The Land Between the Mountains because of a nuclear war, but there are hints to suggest that this is what happened, and that the Minnipins and “Mushrooms” were once simply people. It’s amusing to see them puzzle over artifacts from the outside world and come up with plausible (but wrong) explanations for them. You’ll get a kick out of the various interpretations of “Mary Had a Little Lamb.”

“The Gammage Cup” teach-es you to be true to yourself, and that it’s OK to be different. I give “The Gammage Cup” five out of five stars. It’s a true classic and it will uplift you.

Proof that sequels are rarely as good as the originals, “The Whisper of Glocken” deliv-ers a lackluster performance compared to the first book, “The Gammage Cup.” The new characters Kendall introduces are not as well-fleshed-out as the original characters in “Gammage,” creatures are intro-duced that do not fit the history introduced in the first book, there are plot twists that make

no sense and the ending is, at best, ambiguous.

Published six years after “The Gammage Cup,” the story reads fast and rough, as though it were thrown together in a hurry and had a limited number of pages allowed by the publisher. The story follows five new heroes who venture outside of The Land Between the Mountains to save the Min-nipins from a devastating flood. Here’s the first problem: Why five new heroes? The events in the book take place five years after “Gammage” so the origi-nal characters are not too old for such an adventure. No good explanation is given.

Once the new heroes are outside of the valley, they run into a host of otherworldly creatures, such as man-eating plants and giants, that make the book feel more like fantasy whereas the first book was more plausible. Also, they never encounter the villainous “Mushrooms” from the first book. What happened to them?

Per my personal rule against spoilers, I won’t disclose the ending, but I will say that while one threat is eliminated, another (much larger) one is simply left without resolution. Muh?

While entertaining, “The Whisper of Glocken” lacks the depth, plot, morality lessons and sense of conclusion found in “The Gammage Cup.” By itself, it’s not bad, but because it’s billed as a sequel, it’s just disappointing in comparison to the original. Three stars.

Cheers erupted and cannon-balls fired one sunny evening in South Padre, Texas, as Mason Good-Turney announced the success of his wedding proposal to fiancee Valerie Rock. What started out as a pirate ship adven-ture ended in the proposal of a lifetime.

Such an adventure is one that Rock, junior in advertising and broadcast media, and Good-Turney, senior in social sciences, will remember for the rest of their lives.

Picking such a location for a marriage proposal may seem out-landish for some, but not for this funny duo. Hilarity is the couple’s forte.

“We’re just eccentric people,” Rock said, laughing as Good-Turney nodded in agreement.

“We both really love movies and theater. We’re just ‘out there’ kind of people. I like to call us ‘fun’ people.”

Their relationship roots go back to K-State. The two talked briefly during the first week of classes and they worked together at Van Zile Hall – where Good-Turney took note of Rock’s strik-ing last name, but the couple really became close when per-forming together in K-State’s im-provisational group, On the Spot.

“Our friendship grew from there,” Good-Turney said, adding that he was a bit hesitant to ask her out at first because he didn’t want to ruin anything between them.

“Finally, I was watching an episode of “The Big Bang Theory” where they talk about Shroding-er’s cat in the box with the pile of poison,’” he said. “You don’t know if the cat is alive or dead until you open the box. So I was like, ‘why

not?’ and I did. And it’s been awe-some.”

Summer 2011 came after six months of dating, and Rock was headed to Camp War Eagle in Ar-kansas. The distance proved to be a challenge for the couple, but was made easier through social media sites like Twitter. The time apart also brought Good-Turney to the realization that he wanted Rock to be in his life forever.

After she came back from camp, Good-Turney and Rock planned a trip to the beach of South Padre to make up for lost time together. She had no idea at the time that the trip would throw some surprises her way.

“I was trying to think of when the perfect time would be to [propose],” Good-Turney said. “And then I remembered we were taking this sweet pirate cruise. We

both enjoy pirates. So I thought it would be cool because of the sunset and the water.”

He added that he was “98 percent sure she would say yes,” meaning he had only a few con-cerns for his evening proposal. Very few worries concerned the answer to his life-important question.

“What was going through my head was, ‘I hope there’s not a big

wave that washes the ring off of the boat. I hope a seagull doesn’t take it’ - just a bunch of crazy things that could go wrong. But when it came down to it, I just wanted her to like it,” he said.

His plan had worked, and Rock loved the sunset cruise. So much so, that she was deter-mined to get a picture in front of it, despite Good-Turney’s at-tempt at an introduction to the proposal.

When he got down on one knee, her jaw dropped.

“The rest of the ride back, I was just in utter shock,” Rock said. “I was sure I would marry him, it was just the issue of when. So when he did I was definitely shocked because he had told me all summer he didn’t have enough money to get a ring. Probably because he already bought one.”

Keeping in line with the pirate theme of the proposal, Rock and Good-Turney plan to carry it over to their wedding. Along with a helm wheel placed at the

altar, treasure chest centerpieces will be filled with gold and the bridesmaids and groomsmen will be wearing pirate outfits at the reception.

“The guy that we had wanted to marry us anyway, his last name is Morgan,” Rock said. “So we’ll be having a Captain Morgan marrying us.”

The proposal and wedding theme is merely one reflection of the duo’s personalities and the future will likely hold many more good times.

“He’s my best friend, so it’s going to be like hanging out with my best friend all the time,” she said. “We’re so dorky. I think we both bring out facets in each other’s personalities that make us better.”

Rock and Good-Turney are set to walk the plank together on July 7.

PROPOSAL | ‘He’s my best friend,’ says bride-to-beContinued from page 6

According to Kayser, the muon weighs about 200 times as much as the electron and the tao weighs about 3,500 times as much as the electron. They are referred to as electrically charged leptons.

“Associated with each of these charged particles is the neutrino,” Kayser said. “Neu-trinos are created in a variety of physical processes. Whether they’re created in nature or in the lab, typically neutrinos are created with one of the charged leptons. As a result of quantum mechanics, they can do amaz-ing things like changing from muon flavor to tau flavor. And it is through that flavor change that we have discovered that they have nonzero masses.”

Vibhore Bhatnagar, fresh-man in computer science, said he was interested in attending the lecture because he thought it could help him assess his en-thusiasm for the subject.

“I’m taking a couple of physics courses so it seemed really interesting,” he said. “I just wanted to see what it all was about. Because it’s not really my major, I’m just here to gauge my interest in the area and get a deeper understand-ing.”

Michelle Martinez and Heather Smith, both sopho-mores in psychology, agreed that the lecture was clear and concise for those not so famil-iar with the subject of physics.

“I thought it was going to be a little hard to understand at first, but I did like how he gave a lot of examples and we got to see visuals to help us grasp the topic,” Smith said.

Martinez agreed, saying that although she was slightly in-timidated by the subject mater at first, she picked up the con-tent quickly after Kayser start-ed speaking.

“He explained everything really well,” Martinez said. “At first it was really daunting, but he made it pretty straight-forward for people who aren’t physics savvy and I wasn’t ex-pecting that.”

there are many reasons that someone may be offered a job, and pur-suing entrepreneurship is a great way to ensure a well-balanced educa-tion, said Jerrod Red-dick, junior in finance and accounting.

“Students in this major want to try some-thing different ... they can gain knowledge from all perspectives,” Reddick said.

According to Reddick, the current generation of college students has seen a handful of younger entrepreneurs become very successful, which is what could account for the spike in the numbers pursuing a degree in en-trepreneurship.

The program also offers more than the net-working and the educa-tion; there are actually offices on campus that will house student entre-preneurs.

Perhaps the most im-portant part of what the Center has provided students is the Venture Accelerator, university housing that is offered to students as office space and headquarters for a start-up business. The two offices are located at 914 N. Manhattan Ave.

Entrepreneurs who are on the verge of start-ing their own business make good use of the Center. The accelera-tor provides a student business incubator,

which features confer-ence rooms, large office space, venture funds and mentor resources.

Students who have successfully completed an application consisting of a business plan can use the resources that are offered.

“[Students] can get access to the incuba-tor that will house them and provide resources to assist in the launch of the business,” Hornsby said.

E nt re p re n e u r s h i p, as with all walks of life, needs passion to thrive, Hornsby said. He also said that even with all of the resources and utili-ties provided to the stu-dents, the desire to learn and improve must exist for the program to sur-vive.

“The most rewarding thing is observing the passion students have as they engage in the plan-ning process to launch a venture,” Hornsby said.

Hornsby also said that at K-State, the students receive the necessary education on how to op-erate a business and also how to come up with business ideas and plans.

The educational op-portunities that are pro-vided, he said, are not limited to the classroom.

“The critical thing is to build a strong net-work of support people for funding, knowledge and emotional support,” Hornsby said.

Steven Coen, senior

in finance and entrepre-neurship, said that net-working is important in any field, but is especial-ly important for those looking to start their own business.

“Teachers, students, other K-State employees and countless other indi-viduals connected with me through various ways without the need of an established club or orga-nization,” Coen said.

Despite emphasizing the importance of net-working, Coen also said it would not be accurate to say that networking is the only component to start entrepreneurial en-deavors.

Both Coen and Red-dick said that it is tough to pinpoint which aspect of business is most im-portant, as there are several components of running a business that can play a large part in entrepreneurial success.

“A basic understand-ing of accounting and the knowledge of where money is coming from and where money is going is monumentally important, especially in this economy,” Reddick said.

Coen agreed, saying that maximizing expo-sure to customers is also important.

“Accounting is the language of business,” Coen said. “The next most important part is marketing in the form of selling yourself and your business.”
