K-State President Kirk Schulz and Athletics Direc-tor John Currie spoke to the media Tuesday morn-ing in the Legends Room in Bramlage Coliseum. The conference followed the confirmation that head coach Frank Martin would indeed accept the head coach position at the Uni-versity of South Carolina. This decision leaves Currie with his first major head coaching vacancy to fill since accepting the position as AD in 2009.

At nearly the same time, Martin was being intro-duced as the Gamecocks’ head basketball coach at a press conference in the Colonial Life Arena, South Carolina’s basketball home.

Schulz said he has full confidence that Currie will be able to bring in a coach capable of success that can also represent what K-State is all about and that the coach, whoever it may be, will be coming into a great situation.

“The $18 million state-of-the-art basketball train-ing facility that will open this summer shows a real commitment to men’s bas-ketball,” Schulz said. “We can pay a very competitive salary. We have a passionate and dedicated fan base that has certainly exercised their will to express themselves a lot over the last several days. That is a great situa-tion to come into. You have people who care about bas-ketball here.”

Currie said many of the same things in regard to the state of the K-State basket-ball program and its next coach before announcing that he will not be avail-able for media contact until he has finished the task of

finding a new coach. “There will be no prede-

termined parameters in our search. I will of course be in regular contact with Presi-dent Schulz throughout the process. This task will have my sole attention until it is completed,” Currie said before warning fans not to fall into the media frenzy that has already begun.

“Any reports, other than those originating from Tom Gilbert in our athletics communications office, are simply not correct.”

Martin addressed the speculation that his rela-tionship with Currie was an unhealthy one and that a personal rift between the two was to blame for Mar-tin’s departure.

“That administration has been phenomenal,” Martin said. “I can’t be more thankful for the way that that administration treated us. They gave us what we needed. It’s unfortunate that because of social media stuff that people make com-ments, and it becomes a firestorm. If the people who reported that ever went in

meetings between Currie and I, I think their opinion would be different.”

The speculation peaked when Jamar Samuels was suspended for the Wild-cats’ third round game in the NCAA tournament for accepting $200 from his former coach.

Currie said, after an un-identified person turned

in Samuels’ receipt of the transaction, found in a local grocery store, to the com-pliance office at K-State, the school administered a com-plete investigation before making the decision to sus-pend the senior.

K-State and the city of Man-hattan are certainly not strangers to military involvement. Fort Riley is one of the reasons that many military students study at K-State, and those military stu-dents may find themselves at an advantage because of their aca-demic background.

Recent studies have shown that businesses and corporations are hiring more applicants with military experience.

A 2011 study conducted by the Apollo Research Institute found that businesses, in a va-riety of industries, all consider military experience to be a posi-

tive edge.“The disciplined lifestyle that

a soldier leads lends itself to the workforce,” said Master Sgt. Brian Waterman, senior mili-tary science instructor. “Military folks carry that tailored lifestyle into how they work in a job set-ting.”

Popular opinion in the last few years has said that many company leaders held a bias against military veterans and soldiers, and the unemployment rates among those in the military have been higher than those of civilians for several years. The most drastic change in that sta-tistic began last year.

“People obtain leadership as-pects through the military,” Wa-

terman said. “They get the disci-pline to get up early, they already have a standard for physical fit-ness. It’s also very common for a soldier to have quite a bit of education.”

Craig Hager, assistant profes-sor of military science and train-ing officer, agreed with Water-man about education experience.

“Most officers have at least a master’s degree,” Hager said. “There are promotions in the military based on education.”

Hager also attributed the change in military hiring to the sense of initiative that is gener-ally instilled in soldiers during military training.

“The military instills a pro-activity sense,” Hager said. “We

will always go find something to do. That quality makes for a good employee. They will take it upon themselves to go find something to work on.”

The Apollo Research Institute conducted their study through interviews with hiring manag-ers. A statistical survey has yet to be officially done, but military experience has been an advan-tage in a wide array of fields in the past year, the research con-cluded. The surge in hiring off-duty soldiers is only expected to increase in the future.

“I’m not surprised,” said Chwen Sheu, interim head of the department of management at K-State. “I haven’t seen any statistics on the matter, but based

on my own observations and in-teractions, military students are very mature and have a great sense of responsibility.”

Sheu said that many hiring managers might find what they are looking for because the mili-tary can and does count as a pre-vious job.

“The military gives people work experience,” Sheu said. “The students from the military exude good work ethic and com-mitment. The military students I teach show those things.”

Not only does the military provide work experience, but according to Hager, it also trains soldiers to become comfortable with diversity, which many em-ployers look for in today’s work-

place.“Our job places us all around

the world,” Hager said. “By the time we’ve done all that, we’ve been exposed to so many kinds of people that we have no problem with diversity, and can thrive in a diverse area.”

More resumes from corpora-tions are beginning to include areas for military experience and, according to the research conducted by the Apollo Re-search Institute, the future em-ployment world can expect a lot of growth and response from the military community.

“I can tell you this,” Sheu said. “I would be happy to hire someone with military experi-ence.”

Study concludes military experience valuable in variety of professions

THE BLOTTERARREST REPORTS

87%Of the Campus Community Reads The Collegian

After learning that the “The Hunger Games,” by Suzanne Collins, was going to be taken from its print version and be put on the big screen, I did not know whether to cringe or order my tickets in advance. Some books have made the transi-tion into film well, but would “The Hunger Games” movie adaptation leave its audience satisfied?

Well, fellow “Hunger Games” followers, put all doubts aside. I would award “The Hunger Games” 4 out of 5 stars because it not only sticks primarily to the book, but also offers those who have not read the book a riveting viewing experience.

For those who have not read the book yet, you almost

do not need to; it did not really prepare you for what you saw on the screen. Por-tions of the movie, including Cato’s bloodthirsty antics, still left me and others flinching and gasping like guppies on a dock. Such images, like the blood bath at the cornucopia introduce the dilemma of “what would you do in their shoes?” It is the actions of the characters, the moral dilem-mas and emotions that are pushed onto the audience that makes this movie so great.

While there are noticeable changes between the movie and book, most undoubtedly a result of time constraints and to help with pacing, the movie and cast was fantastic.

Jennifer Lawrence portrays heroine Katniss Everdeen, and leads a very solid cast that made the film great. Josh Hutcherson, as Peeta Mellark, complements Lawrence’s in-tense character with not only

his compassion, but also his charming personality. I can say nothing negative about Stanley Tucci’s work as Caesar Flickerman, Elizabeth Banks’ role as Effie Trinket or Liam Hemsworth as Gale Haw-thorne. The only complaint I had concerning characters is the portrayal of Haymitch Abernathy by Woody Harrel-son. Haymitch is described to be quite a drunk in the begin-ning of the book, but in the film, he seemed far too sober. Maybe it was the omission of Haymitch’s impromptu stage dive that caused this inconsistency.

The biggest issue I had with the movie was the conclusion of the actual Hunger Games. While the dog-like creatures were included, the film neglected to show Katniss realizing that the creatures were the fallen tributes. This was a detail that should not have

been removed; it showed how twisted members of the Capi-tol are. Also, Cato is never at the cornucopia before Katniss and Peeta; he crashes through the trees with the dog-like creatures hot on his heels before the three tributes clash in the final battle. In addition to those changes, Peeta’s leg is not amputated, and the movie skips over the “unofficial” breakup of Peeta and Katniss.

Aside from these changes, “The Hunger Games” is a movie that anyone can enjoy and get caught up in. It is filled with a variety of emotions, action scenes and a storyline that appeals to a large audience, whether they have read the book or not.

For those biting their nails in anticipation for a sequel, sit back, relax and read “Catch-ing Fire” again to keep you busy. Lionsgate announced that “Catching Fire” hits theaters on Nov. 22, 2013.

If it is anything like the first, expect a great and tastefully well-done sequel.

Over spring break my boy-friend and I visited my home in Burleson, Texas for a few days, then spent the remain-der of the break in Austin, Texas. I love Austin: the food, the concerts, the shops, the at-mosphere. It will be my future home, but until then, I make little trips down to check off all the major tourist spots. This trip we went to Vert’s, Toy Joy, Hamilton Pool and Salt Lick. Salt Lick is an amazing open pit barbeque joint located in Driftwood, Texas, about 30 minutes south of Austin. After stuffing our faces with smokey delicious barbeque, we dared to order dessert, and we were rewarded with a uniquely soft peach cobbler loaded with cinnamon.

I loved the sharp cinnamon taste and the bready, cakey

top of the cobbler, which is normally made with crunchy, crumb topping. I Googled Salt Lick peach cobbler and every

site had the same recipe so I went with the only one avail-able.

I give this recipe four out of

five stars because it was easy to make, it tasted great and it was very cheap to throw to-gether.

Preparation: HHHH The preparation was very

easy, but it does take a few steps. First you melt the butter, then make the batter and pour it in, then spice the peaches and drop them in. Other than the steps there’s no room for error, they’re very straightfor-ward instructions.

Taste: HHHH The copycat recipe turned

out very similar to the origi-nal. It tasted really good and had the same light, cakey tex-ture as the Salt Lick version. I doubled the amount of cin-namon in the peaches and dusted the finished cake with cinnamon because I really like the spicy taste. With a recipe like this adding or reducing spices doesn’t affect the end result and it can be tailored to fit your preferences. The recipe also calls for one cup of egg and in the future I would reduce it to maybe 2/3 cup egg and add an extra 1/3 cup of milk. The cake had a no-

ticeable egg taste, which was good but different, kind of like French toast.

Leftover Potential:HH The one thing about this

recipe that really got me was the amount of butter it used. It calls for 1/2 cup of melted butter to be poured in the bottom of the 13x9 pan, but when I toothpick-checked the cake and it was totally baked, there was butter sloshing around on the sides. I ended up tilting the cake to drain the excess butter off, and there was a lot of it. That being said, the cake gets pretty squishy after a few hours so it’s not great for leftovers. It said to serve it warm and I’m glad I had my family there to help get it mostly eaten. In the future I would reduce the amount of butter used to 1/4 cup.

When the car crashed she knew she would be in trouble, but she didn’t know she was hurt. It wasn’t until the woman tried to pull her out of the car when she realized she couldn’t feel her legs.

Ashley Berning is a typical K-Stater with a dream of becom-ing successful. She lived her first year in the dorms while she stud-ied pre-law and majored in po-litical science and business. She eventually changed her major to psychology, but is now back in pre-law.

“I think I’m transitioning and getting back to actually who I am,” Berning said.

She now plans on graduating with a criminology degree this May, then obtaining a psychol-

ogy degree next year.Berning is from the small

town of Leoti, Kan. Her high school years were filled with in-volvement. The most enjoyable for her was cheerleading.

“I started that in middle

school,” she said “I did it seventh through my senior year. I wanted to be a professional cheerleader.”

Now, she has to work twice as hard to reach her dreams due to a life shattering accident that oc-curred two weeks to the day after her high school graduation.

“It was a Saturday and I went out to just drive around,” she said. “I have a special spot in the coun-

try where I like to hang out when I’m stressed, so I drove out there and just kind of hung out for a little bit. My parents said ‘Don’t go anywhere,’ but they couldn’t really do anything because I was 18 and I was going to college in August.”

When Berning was on her way back she began to either mess with the radio or her cell phone, and ended up swerving.

“My dad always taught me that you are supposed to take the ditch. You’re not supposed to fight it because that would cause a roll over,” she said.

But her car did roll over. Not just once, but five times.

“It was about 7:30 so the sun was just starting to go down,” she said. “It was really flat and you could see for miles. A truck had passed me, and he didn’t stop. I had my seatbelt on so I was just kind of hanging there in the car. I tried to turn on the radio I thought, ‘Well I’m going to be

NBA New York Knicks forward Amare Stoudemire had an

MRI reveal that he had a bulging disk in his lower back. The Knicks star has been ruled out indefinitely with the injury as he is still mulling over his options on whether to undergo surgery or seek therapy. The Knicks are cur-rently 25-25 and are in eighth place in the Eastern Con-ference.

NBA Draft Duke guard Austin Rivers has decided to enter this

June’s NBA Draft. Rivers, son of Boston Celtics coach Doc Rivers, spent one season at Duke where he averaged 15.5 points a contest. Rivers had arguably the shot of the season, as he hit a buzzer beater to shock North Carolina on the Tar Heels’ homecourt. He is projected by draft analysts to be a lottery pick. Rivers plans to hire an agent.

Mississippi State forward Renardo Sidney also plans to sign with an agent and enter the draft. The Bulldog big man had a tumultuous stay with Mississippi State, as his off-the-court fights with teammates stole the head-lines rather than his play on the court. In his two-year stint with the Bulldogs he averaged 11.5 points and 6.1 rebounds per game.

NCAA Football The reigning BCS National Champions, the Uni-

versity of Alabama, extended head coach Nick Saban a two-year deal that will pay $5.62 million a year. The new contract makes Saban the highest paid coach in the country, leading Mack Brown from Texas and Bob Stoops of Oklahoma who make $5.2 million and $4.8 million, respectively.

Saban said to ESPN that he had contacts from other jobs that tried to entice the head man of the Crimson Tide to leave Alabama, but he feels that this contract shows his intention to finish his career at Alabama. Saban said to ESPN, “From my standpoint, the accep-tance of this extension represents our commitment to the University of Alabama for the rest of our career.”

Martin said despite what some may think the Samuels’ suspension played no part in his decision to accept the job at South Carolina and denied any rumors that he felt unwel-come at K-State.

“They wanted me at K-State. That was never in ques-tion,” Martin said. “I want this challenge.”

Martin called players on

the K-State basketball team individually to inform them of his decision to leave.

“That’s the most difficult thing that I’ve ever had to do in my life,” Martin said. “When I had to speak to Rodney Mc-Gruder, Jordan Henriquez and those guys and tell them that I was making this deci-sion, it was hard because I was making the selfish decision. I like challenges. And getting this program back to where it belongs was something I em-braced from the first second.”

Currie said he met with

members, of the basketball team Tuesday night and that he was pleased with how they reacted to the news.

Martin said he would visit with the current assistant coaches in place at South Carolina soon and “make those decisions accordingly,” about whom to keep on staff and that he would also speak with his previous coaching staff and start to make his de-cisions as the week goes for-ward.

Currie said he received a call last Friday afternoon from Eric Hyman, South Carolina’s AD, who said he had interest in Martin and later that night, Martin requested to speak with South Carolina and indi-cated that he would accept the job if it was offered to him.

Currie said he asked

Martin if there was anything he could do to keep him, in-cluding offering a significant pay increase, but that money was not a factor in Martin’s decision.

“I want to thank coach Martin for the job he has done leading our program over the last five years. Certainly, the foundation and platform for basketball success at K-State has been elevated as a result of his efforts and his coaching staff,” Currie said. “I look for-ward to following his success at South Carolina.”

Nebraska got out to a big lead early, scoring five unan-swered runs in the first three innings and never looked back, defeating the Wildcats 6-3 in Lincoln, Neb. on Tuesday. The Huskers rose to 18-9 on the season, while K-State fell to 13-11 overall.

The Huskers’ Richard Stock’s two RBIs and Rich Sanguinetti’s three hits helped the Huskers defeat K-State in the second meeting between the two teams this season. Nebraska won the previous matchup on March 6 by a score of 9-6. The teams will meet again in Manhattan, on Tuesday, April 3.

Senior first baseman Wade Hinkle and sophomore desig-nated hitter Blair DeBord each had two hits to lead a K-State offense which took advantage of a couple of Husker errors re-sulting in three unearned runs off Nebraska pitchers.

In the bottom of the first inning, Nebraska’s first three batters all reached base, loading them up for Kash Kalkowski, who drew a walk to bring in the game’s first run. Richard Stock stepped in the batter’s box

next, and despite grounding into a double-play, he brought home another run, while Kurt Farmer’s single brought home Chad Christensen for the third and final run of the inning. The Huskers struck again in the third, as Stock’s single brought home Christensen and Sangui-netti and created a five-run lead over K-State.

In the fourth inning, the Wildcats loaded the bases with two outs and senior right fielder Mike Kindel came home on a wild pitch by Nebraska pitcher Tyler King, but K-State couldn’t capitalize for more runs and settled for just one in the inning. Nebraska answered quickly though, with an RBI single by Sanguinetti to score Bryan Peters, bringing their lead back to five.

In the fifth, Wildcat short-stop Jake Brown reached on an error by Nebraska defense and the senior advanced to second on the play. Sophomore center fielder Jared King followed Brown with a walk to put run-ners on first and second. Hinkle stepped to the plate and singled to center field to bring home Brown.

Junior Tanner Witt brought home another run for the Wild-

cats in the sixth inning with a single to left field to score sophomore RJ Santigate. Santi-gate had earlier singled and ad-vanced to second on a throwing error. Witt’s RBI brought the game within three for the Wild-cats, but neither team would score for the remainder of the game, as both teams’ bullpens took over.

K-State pitcher Matt Wivinis struggled in his second start of the season, allowing five earned runs off five hits in three in-nings. The freshman righty walked three and struck out one. Wivinis was followed by another freshman, lefty Robert Youngdahl, who pitched the next two innings. Youngdahl allowed one run off three hits, but did not allow any walks and struck out one batter. Two more relievers pitched three perfect innings to finish the game, two from junior Jake Doller and one from freshman Caleb Walling-ford.

K-State continues its road trip this weekend, traveling to Norman, Okla., to take on the Oklahoma Sooners in three games. The Wildcats will look to improve on their 2-4 record in conference play against the Sooners.

Wildcats fail to dig their way out of early hole in Nebraska

BASEBALL

As K‐State Athletics Direc-tor John Currie answered a barrage of questions in Bramlage Coliseum Tues-day morning regarding the men’s basketball program and recent departure of its head coach, the University of South Carolina was introduc-ing its newest member into the Gamecock athletic pro-gram, former K‐State head coach Frank Martin.

While Wildcat fans con-tinue to mourn and express anger targeted at both Currie and Martin on multiple social media outlets like Facebook and Twitter, one thing must be recognized and acknowledged regardless of whomever becomes the next head coach at K‐State, and that is that Frank Martin has changed the perception of this program for the better.

Martin seemed to be an immediate replacement five years ago in the wake of former Wildcat head coach Bob Huggins’ sudden resig-nation after only one season. It was unsure at the time whether Martin, who was facing his first head coach-ing position at the collegiate level, could be successful and return K‐State to the level of national prominence the pro-gram once experienced when it was coached by the likes of Lon Kruger, Jack Hartman and Fred “Tex” Winter.

Five years later, it’s safe to say that Martin has left a lasting positive impression on not only the men’s basketball program, but the university as well.

Many times throughout his career at K‐State, Martin expressed that statistics weren’t of key concern in his mind, however, the numerical accomplishments with which Martin leaves at K‐State has him ranked among the best coaches that have ever led the Wildcats on the basketball court and simply cannot be ignored.

Four times in his five sea-sons, Martin led the Wildcats to the NCAA tournament in-cluding an Elite Eight appear-ance in a magical 2008‐2009 season. His 29 wins that year are the most wins ever by a men’s head basketball coach in a single season at K‐State. Martin won at least 21 games in each of his five seasons bringing his overall record as a Wildcat to 117‐54 (.684).

Coaches are ultimately measured on wins and losses, and while Martin certainly measures up in that regard, the most important aspect of coaching to him was always his players.

Martin, a former teacher, has always been adamant about expressing that his main concern was taking in a freshman player and enabling him, during the player’s time in the program, with the tools and traits necessary to be a successful man when the player left K‐State.

The values of truth, hon-esty, family and integrity that Martin has instilled in this K‐State program and Wildcat nation are among many that can be modeled and should be taught by whomever coaches the Wildcats’ next season and in the seasons going forward.

Martin has impassioned the fan base and elevated the Octagon of Doom into one of the toughest, most chal-lenging atmospheres in the country for opposing teams to play in. Seldom did teams walk into Bramlage Coliseum and come out with victories.

Martin’s fiery personality and intimidating stare will be missed along the sidelines in Bramlage Coliseum when the Wildcats take to the floor next season, but the impact he has had on the program will be present for years to come.

From this member of the K‐State family, thank you, coach Martin.

Former K-State head men’s basketball coach Frank Martin accepted the head coach posi-tion at the University of South Carolina on Tuesday. Martin received a new six-year contract for almost $12 million. K-State President Kirk Schultz and Athletics Director John Currie held a press conference to discuss the future of the men’s basketball program. Currie said the search for the next head coach will have his full attention and will be done confiden-tially.

College students who often have to work on a tight budget may have difficulties balancing expenditures. Ev-eryday costs and other miscellaneous expenses add up and slowly but surely can eat up available funds.

Reducing unnecessary costs can, however, help students control their expenses and have money left over for things that they need.

Here are five things that students should stop wasting money on:

1. Parking ticketsWith enrollment numbers increas-

ing, finding parking spots has proven to be a monumental task this year. Students will often, out of frustration, give up looking for the appropriate spot and park wherever they happen to find a place to leave their cars.

Unfortunately, this tactic can be ex-tremely expensive. Prices for parking tickets can range anywhere from $10 to $50 per ticket, according to the K-State Parking Services website. If a car is in a restricted zone, it can get towed, which could cost up to $150.

These parking violations could add up to quite a bit of money. Students who take the time to park in appropri-ate spots can save themselves a pretty penny.

2. New ElectronicsMany students spend their hard-

earned paycheck on the newest video games, biggest TVs or the latest Apple brand product that has hit the shelves. As cool as the newest iPad may be, electronics are an investment that depreciate in value.

This means that once an electronic is considered used or pre-owned, buyers will only be able to salvage a

fraction of the resale value for that product.

3. Alcohol

Weekends in Manhattan for K-Staters are often filled with bar-hopping and house parties; alcohol is a staple in the lives of some college stu-dents. In fact, according to alcoholpoli-cymd.com, college students nationwide spend about $5.5 billion on alcohol.

It can be a dangerous habit for someone to start a tab in a bar, and in the drunken festivities, lose track of the amount of money they have spent.

Responsible drinking can serve as a good social outlet for college students, but can hurt their wallet if they aren’t careful.

4. Bottled WaterWhen people think bottled water,

the general perception is that it is worth the money because the water is “cleaner” or “healthier.” Many claim to drink bottled water because they are afraid that water from the tap may contain germs.

Ironically, however, several no-table bottled water brands, including PepsiCo’s Aquafina and Coca-Cola’s Dasani, released information that they use water from public sources, accord-ing to a 2007 article on CNN.com.

In addition to reducing waste, students can save a significant amount of money by just drinking from a tap, instead of spending $1 to $2 every time they want to quench their thirst.

5. New TextbooksFor some, the smell of brand new

pages and the cracking sound of the book’s spine they hear as they open a new book for the first time may be an unforgettable experience.

It is also, unfortunately, much more costlier than a used book.

With online services such as chegg.com, amazon.com, and even special deals offered by K-State, students have a variety of sources that they can uti-lize to find the best deals on textbooks.

Another way students can save themselves money is to buy and sell books from each other. A student who has completed a course can gain some money back, and the buyer can purchase a highly discounted book.

Keeping a tight wallet may not necessarily always be about cutting spending, but rather could focus on

the value that purchases have.By monitoring the salvage value of each purchase,

students can avoid making purchases that are wasteful and lose value as time goes on.

More than $200 million in annual financial aid reduces strain on student budgets

Dillon Fairchild staff writer

For many students, college is an ex-pensive investment that can be a dif-ficult burden to bear.

It is also an expense that becomes more and more challenging to address as each passing year reveals tuition hikes at universities across the nation.

This in turn leads some students, many of whom have few assets of their own, to take on ever increasing amounts of debt in order to finish their degree program.

However, there are many ways to pay for college without increasing debt or, at the very least, taking stu-dent loans that may offer better financ-ing options than those offered by most financial institutions.

Students at K-State, while undoubt-edly also feeling the strain of increased tuition, have the benefit of attending a university which places great empha-sis on student aid; more than $200 per year in various forms of financial aid is offered to students, according to K-State’s wesbite.

Pat Bosco, vice president for stu-dent life and dean of students, said that the university “gets it,” realizing that students often require some form of financial support in order to pay for their education.

“Affordability is a defining factor of our school,” Bosco said. “President Schulz, from his first day as our new president, has been fully committed to the fact that K-State students and families are dependent on a respon-sive need-based financial assistance program [as well as] merit awards that recognize the potential as well as the accomplished success of K-State stu-dents. As a result we are offering more

assistance to our students than ever before.”

More than 50 percent of undergrad-uate students receive grants based on financial need, both from federal pro-grams and programs at K-State, said Larry Moeder, assistant vice president for student life and director of admis-sions and student financial assistance.

In order to qualify for this assis-tance, one must complete a FAFSA form (Free Application for Federal Student Aid) by April 1, and also meet the criteria for “financial need” set forth individually by each program.

While fulfilling requirements may sound like a rather tedious process, the end result may be a significant amount of financial assistance.

For students whose families do not meet the requirements for need-based financial assistance, there are still many options. For high-achieving students, there are always merit-based scholarships and awards. According to Moeder, nearly 25 percent of the student body receives some form of merit-based aid.

“All students at K-State, every single one, qualifies for some form of finan-cial aid,” Moeder said. “Whether it is grants, scholarhips, loans or work programs, they will qualify for some-thing.”

Moeder also said that 70 percent of students receive some form of finan-cial aid, meaning approximately 30 percent of students on campus choose not to accept any form of aid.

Finally, if students have exhausted

all of the usual routes for financial aid and still find themselves falling short, there are a number of private pro-grams and scholarships which may be able to help.

“After a year or two of college, there are more opportunities open to students than when they applied,” Moeder said. “They have accom-plished more things. They now have a college GPA. All of these things are going to increase their chances of get-ting scholarships.”

Moeder also related the story of one particular student who, in years past, was so aggressive in her scholar-ship hunt that every year she was able to bring in almost $20,000 in outside scholarships.

While this is a rare case, he said it does serve to illustrate the fact that there are many programs available to students with the willingness to track them down.

According to Ben Kohl, assistant director of student financial assistance, students who are already enrolled at K-State can turn to the university’s fi-nancial aid office to look for ways to increase or adjust the amount of aid they receive.

“Each student has a personal finan-cial adviser who will help them figure out if they are eligible for further aid,” he said. “There are also student advis-ers at the front desk who are able to answer many of the questions students may have about financial aid.”

Kohl said that the Student Financial Assistance website is full of informa-tion and answers to frequently asked questions which can provide a wealth of information to those looking to find out more about possible financial aid.

He also said that he believes K-State works hard to help its students.

“We provide a lot of resources for students,” Kohl said. “If they have any questions, they can just come right in to the office and sit down with an ad-viser, and find out what they need to do next.”

Berning said she didn’t think the truck driver saw her.

“The next person that drove by also drove past and then I saw them turn around and come back. The lady that had found me said I didn’t look like a car it just looked like a piece of metal in the field. She said the only reason that she turned back was be-

cause she saw a tire in her mirror that was glaring from the sun,” she said.

The woman came back and called the ambulance. Since the population of Berning’s town is just around 1,000 people, most of the town knew about the accident before the responders even got to her. She did make it out of the car fairly easily.

“The lady that had stopped had kind of pulled me out a little bit, which she shouldn’t have done, but I was begging her to let me out be-cause I couldn’t be in there,” Berning said.

She felt like she had been in there for almost an hour before the woman came, but she still can’t be sure on ex-actly how long it was.

The EMS rushed Berning to the hospital where the doctor on call was actually a family friend.

“The doctor couldn’t even think straight. I asked him, ‘What is going on?’ And he just said, ‘I don’t know,’” Berning said.
