HELPING THOSE WHO SERVE: DISTANCE EDUCATION SCHOLARSHIP OFFERS

ASSISTANCE TO MILITARY STUDENTS

MANHATTAN -- A new scholarship is being offered through Kansas State University’s Division of Continuing Edu-cation for distance education students involved in the military. The Allan D. Sicat Scholarship will provide $1,500, beginning with the fall 2013 semester, to a selected active duty or veteran appli-cant who meets the requirements.

The donor of the scholarship, Allan D. Sicat, is the president of Carousel Designs in Douglasville, Ga., and was the Division of Continuing Education’s first distin-guished K-State alumni fellow in 2011. Af-ter graduating from the Military Academy at West Point and serving as a U.S. Army officer, Sicat completed the online master’s degree in engineering management from Kansas State University in 2003.

Sicat developed an affinity for the univer-sity while completing his degree and as a result, felt a strong desire to give back. He approached the division last summer, wanting to set up a scholarship fund and has committed to provide a $1,500 scholar-ship each year for the next five years.

“This is an excellent example of how distance education students, through their good experiences, develop a strong allegiance to the university even though they have never been on campus,” said David Stewart, associate dean of continu-ing education. “As a result of Allan’s good experience with K-State, other students will be helped as they pursue their educa-tional goals.”

Stewart says the division has been working for some time to increase scholarship funds for distance education students. These stu-dents often will not qualify for traditional scholarships available from the university because they do not carry the required 12 credit hours per term.

The application for the Allan D. Sicat Scholarship for the fall 2013 term is due April 1. In addition to the application, students must have a 3.0 GPA and submit

a resume and a 500-word essay describ-ing their plans to pursue a college degree to further their military or professional career.

More information about the Allan D. Sicat Scholarship is available at:http://www.dce.k-state.edu/students/ser-vices/scholarships/sicat-scholarship/.

SEARCH FOR FORGIVENESS, REDEMPTION SET STAGE FOR DRAMA IN K-STATE THEATRE’S

‘BENGAL TIGER AT THE BAGHDAD ZOO’

MANHATTAN -- War-torn Baghdad sets the scene for K-State Theatre’s first produc-tion of the new year. The Broadway play “Bengal Tiger at the Baghdad Zoo” will be presented Feb. 7-9 and 14-16 at 7:30 p.m., with a 2:30 p.m. matinee Sunday, Feb. 17, all in Nichols Theatre at Kansas State University.

The lives of two American Marines and an Iraqi translator are forever changed by an encounter with a quick-witted tiger that haunts the streets of Baghdad attempting to find meaning, forgiveness and redemp-tion amidst the city’s ruins. Written by American playwright Rajiv Joseph, the play explores both the power and the peril of human nature.

“Bengal Tiger” received the National

Endowment for the Arts award for out-standing new American play in 2008. It premiered on Broadway on March 31, 2011, under the direction of Moises Kaufman. The cast included Glenn Davis as Tom and Robin Williams as the astute Tiger. The production went on to win two Drama Desk awards and three Tony award nominations.

“Bengal Tiger” has strong language and is recommended for mature audiences only.

The play is directed by Dillon Artzer, mas-ter’s student in theatre, Topeka. Set design is by Kathy Voecks, associate professor of theatre, and sound design is by Chelsey Eimer, a Kansas State University alumnus.

Tickets are $14 for the general public, $12 for seniors and military, and $8 for students. They can be purchased at the McCain Auditorium box office from 11 a.m. to 4:30 p.m., or by calling McCain at 785-532-6428. Tickets also may be purchased online at http://www.k-state.edu/theatre/. Groups of 10 or more may receive a dis-

count rate. For more information or assis-tance in planning a theater party, contact Marci Maullar at 785-532-6878.

Students in the cast and crew of “Bengal Tiger at the Baghdad Zoo” include:

Spencer Rotolo-Utz, sophomore in theatre, Lawrence, as Tom; Sean Matthews, senior in public relations, Manhattan, as Tiger; Maria Arvanitakis, junior in theatre and psychology, as Hadia and Girl, and Jordan Foote, master’s student in curriculum and instruction, as Uday, both from Overland Park; Joey Boos, junior in theatre, as Musa, and Kristina Gent, senior in theatre, as the Woman and Leper, both from Salina; Amanda Garvey, junior in theatre, assistant director, and Tyler Hamilton, senior in theatre, stage manager, both from Topeka; and Rebekah Priebe, master’s student in theater, Wichita, costume design.

From out of state: Sean Hood, senior in architectural engineering, Edmond, Okla., lighting design.

Longtime masters of the infectious three minute roll in the emotional hay, be it via Podstar or Dead Girls proper, songsters Hawk and Longbottom manage to slow it down while cranking it up with their latest offering, Fade In/Fade Out. While maintaining a radio-friendly 3:20 aver-age, some tunes spiral beyond six, while others slash out their hooks and riffs in under two. Much of the album seems to be about time, reflection, and the reality of change, (or how to dodge all those things) seemingly in line with a group of per-formers aged beyond the dreaded 30, but somehow The Dead Girls always manage to maintain a youthful wonder and energy despite the mature nature of their writing.

Much of the body remains the same: Melin and Colby thump and stomp out a deceptively simple core while Hawk and Longbottom trade and mix riffs and vox back and forth between them in that man-ner that first made me wander into Auntie Mae’s Parlor so many years ago, leaving an underage date at the door, and stand slack-jawed before them for an hour without blinking or drinking a drop.

However, certain tracks stand out as departures from the traditional Dead Girls “drive-by” pop. “Under Siege” packs acoustic guitars for the front fellas and brushes for Eric, not unheard of but certainly more gentle than anything off of 2010’s Out of Earshot. Well, except maybe the in-tro to “She Can Turn It Off”, but still, even that song starts kicking you in the teeth after the three minute mark. The lullaby “Sing It Soft” speaks for itself on this mat-ter; not once getting its pulse above 68 or so. The vox on this one are haunting, and I can’t quite catch how they made them sound so...immediate yet distant. Appar-

ently that’s a setting on the board I haven’t found yet.

Influences show more in this album than before; I can hear several favorites from the 70s to the 90s get felt up in tracks like “Scare You” and “The Beast Inside”. The riffs and solos throughout the album are as air-guitarable as ever, but the rocking is often more coincidental than out front on this one, with tracks like “I Feel You” kicking back and forth between confes-sional and choral calling out, “I feel you...I feel you like the sun!” Somehow I ended up thinking about The Beatles during this song, not that any of it sounds like them, but the symphonic/operatic changes and gorgeous harmonies just felt like some-thing they would do if they found them-selves in that song.

I hate to imply growth in folks that were rocking at a pretty prestigious level when I was still plunking out A-D-G on my first guitar, but I spent a couple hours trad-

ing tracks between Out of Earshot and Fade In/Fade Out and it’s undeniable. As I said before, the power is still there, the radio-friendly vibe and hooky, instant sing-a-long ability that they’ve had since before they dropped the “ruin everything” is still com-pletely intact, but the depth of the song writing and complexity of the tunes have evolved from

the raucous romps I fell in love with circa 2007.

Fittingly, the last tune on the album, “Wall of Boxes” is stylistically, very much a return to previously mined terra-firma, somewhere between The Replacements and Cheap Trick, but lyrically about the powers and potency of memories and how we can’t ever possibly outrun them. And,

like many Dead Girls songs, has one of those lines that you turn and address to your date/wife/partner, if you wanna get laid that night: “All I ever wanna do, is take up space with you...”

The Dead Girls are self-releasing the album digitally via their Bandcamp site (http://thedeadgirls.bandcamp.com/) on Friday, February 1st as a pay-what-you-will download, with hard copies to follow soon after. The digital release will be sup-ported by two local shows:

Friday, 2/1 at Replay Lounge in Lawrence

with The Depth and the WhisperSaturday, 2/2 at recordBar in Kansas

City with The Casket Lottery and Gentle-man Savage

As to a Manhattan release event, one can hope for the boys to roll thru sometime this spring and blast us with their awe-some. In the meantime, head over to Bandcamp this Friday and show The Dead Girls some love with your monies.

PROUD SPONSOROF THE

HYPE WEEKLY

Twittercop!friendly neighborhood officer

Misty Opat

written by

Riley County Police Officer Mat Droge steps back into his patrol vehicle, soaked and freezing. He has just completed a traffic stop, during which he took a direct hit from a landscape sprinkler. His iPhone beeps, indicating an incoming Tweet. The Tweet is from the subject of the traffic stop. It reads “@RileyCoun-tyPD Just got pulled over by the nicest cop I’ve ever dealt with. Also got him sprayed with the sprinklers.” Droge retweets, responds, and sets back out to patrol the streets of Manhattan.

Better known as “Twitter Cop,” Officer Droge is the brains and thumbs behind RCPD’s social media campaign. A Man-hattan native and professional photog-rapher, Droge at first seems an unlikely choice for the role of cop. With his calm demeanor and black-framed glasses, you’d expect to see him writing song lyr-ics rather than arrest reports. Tech savvy and creative, Droge is a new kind of cop, focused on educating and relating to the public.

with a web presence

When Droge took over the social media accounts, he says that his mission was two-fold. First, he wanted to use social media to combat crime. Many times, there are crimes that are caught on camera but the police cannot identify the suspect. By putting the suspect photo on social media, the photo will reach a broad audience who may be able to assist in identifying the subject. The second mis-sion was to open the lines of communica-tion between the public and the RCPD in a way that wasn’t possible in the past. Droge says that social media is a great way for the RCPD to educate the public on what they’re currently doing, and for the public to respond and ask questions.

Droge’s mission has been successful. When he first took over the RCPD Twitter account, it had just over 50 followers. Today it has over 3,200. Lines of commu-nication with the public have been opened through regular Twitter Q and A sessions and the occasional “Tweet-Along,” where Officer Droge regularly updates about the

day’s calls and happenings, giving the subscriber a glimpse into the daily life of a cop. The crime-fight-ing aspect has also been success-ful. At the time of this interview, six cases have been cleared using information obtained via Twitter. Three of those cases were felonies.

For anyone who wants to know more about the RCPD, Droge says this “The easiest way is through Twitter, you don’t have to leave your home, you can have texts sent to your phone. You don’t need to be afraid of the cops. Ultimately, we’re here to help you. We’re commu-nity members also. We live in and around Manhattan, and we’re just like you, except we get to strap on our gun belt and drive a cool car.”

Summary: Set during the 1880’s Texas Wire-Cutting War, when fencing off the open plains set smallholders against the rich, large-tract owners, this novel has all the trappings of a classic Western: cowboys, duels, and outlaws framed against the canvas of the struggle to survive on the frontier.

THIS WEEK IN MHK...

Ongoing AttractionsMonday Through Friday9AM-5PM

Weekend Hours May Vary

The Big Picture ShowStrecker-Nelson GalleryFor the first exhibit of 2013, a selec-tion of large scale photographs by Tim Forcade, George Jerkovich and Tom Parish will be featured in the main gal-lery. In addition, there will be ceramics by Sheldon Ganstrom, as well as interior paintings by Lisa Calzavara, abstracts of Venice by Bev Gegen, paintings by Kath-leen Kuchar, and lighthearted paintings by Marie Mason.

Konza: Sculpture by John Doug-las PowersBeach Museum of ArtA site-specific, kinetic sculpture evokes the Konza Prairie outside Manhattan. Powers’ work is constructed of brass, aluminum, and stainless steel. When set into motion by an electric motor, the piece’s over 1,100 vertical brass rods sway rhythmically like tall grass in the wind.

FORCES: The Shaping of Man-hattan, Fort Riley and Kansas State University Flint Hills Discovery CenterThis exhibit is a partnership between the Riley County Historical Museum; the U.S. Cavalry Museum, Fort Riley; Conserva-tion and Restoration Branch, Fort Riley; the Costume and Textile Museum, KSU; and the KSU archives. The exhibit explores the period between 1853 and 1914: our pioneer beginnings, the transition to building a community, and growth into the 20th century.

Inadvertent Arson: Paintings and Drawings by Patrick Duegaw Beach Museum of ArtPatrick Duegaw, K-State alumnus and founding member of Wichita’s Fisch Haus artist cooperative, presents the latest installment of his ongoing “Painted Theater Project.” Conceived as a theatrical performance, Duegaw’s “Inadvertent Ar-son” incorporates painted portraits, props, and sets as surrogates for living actors, three-dimensional objects, and a stage. Action is implied instead of performed, and a dialogue appears in the form of artist-generated text that accompanies each portrait.

These and many more

From the Desk of the Executive Director:

Evan Tuttle, [email protected]

Wildcats, I’m writing this before tip-off, and I’m just going to assume that we beat and still own Texas?! (fingers crossed, no whammies!)

February is coming! That means it’s a season for love, basketball, soccer (foot-ball), and/or the love of both!

You might be happy to know that Keltic Star, Aggieville’s newest pub, is showing the soccer games (I know, football) like any true pub should. Soccer (FOOTBALL) fans rejoice!

If you can’t make it to Bramlage, there is only one other acceptable spot to cheer on

your Wildcats! You guessed it, right down here! Join us on game-days with all of your friends and enjoy the view from our hun-dreds of TVs! Sorry, we are not running our shuttle service during basketball this year. There just weren’t enough riders in that past to justify it. Service will resume for football.

Don’t forget to register for the 35th Annual Aggieville St. Patrick’s Day Parade by visit-ing aggievilleparade.com

If you know something going on down here and you want me to write about it, email me!

Follow us on Twitter for daily specials and JOB listings! @Aggieville

One last thing, we at the Aggieville Busi-ness Association, wish to extend our con-dolences to the family and friends of Jason Hardesty. Jason was a long-time employee at Dara’s in Aggieville, and was always a warm, friendly face, and heart, that will surely be missed. Peace, Jason.

Welcome to KSAC, Studentsa retrospective on the manhattan that was

Frank Siegle

And a baseball hero missed by

Among other things I’ve been on a WWII kick lately. As a result, I was in the public library a couple weeks ago, curious about how the Mercury wrote about the prelude to the German attack on Poland in 1939 that instigated the war.

While going through the microfilm I came upon the special edition welcoming students to Kansas State College. After copying the issue for my own curiosity I thought it might make an interesting column. This, in a sense, was the last peacetime year for K-State, even though we didn’t formally enter the war until Dec. 8, 1941. The year before, the draft was instituted and within a few months, 10 million young men had been drafted or enlisted. Things didn’t return to “normal” until after the war. 1940 would see fewer male students, though still many more than during the war years, and a stepped up R.O.T.C. The student body was a little over 4000 students in a town of about 11,000. 70% of the women students would be in the Dept. of Home Economics. The practical sciences would over shadow the other offerings far more than later.

The issue was interesting to me because not only because of what it included, but what wasn’t there. The sense of the whole thing is what one might call “bucolic.” The advertised amusements are the parks and the zoo; the main activities are park sports, swimming, picnicking, hiking and movies. The scenic countryside is emphasized and extolled,

especially the Blue Valley that later was sacrificed for the Tuttle Creek Dam project, and, of course, Pillsbury Crossing. Access to the countryside would be much more limited than today, for many of the country roads were not even graveled and were a mess after a rain or after a snow, and fewer students had cars. The Depression, you know.

As far as art participation, there was the municipal band and civic theater, plus what was available on campus. Dancing? Frat and sorority parties and campus get togethers, but they were few, and my guess is, at the beginning of the year as mixers and during the winter mainly. The only ballrooms were the Wareham Ballroom downtown and the Avalon at the Country Club.

Because agriculture was even more a major ele-ment in the college than now, much was made of the area farming and tie ins with K-State and the community. Fundamentally, the sense is that what the incoming student would experience was not much different from the life they were coming from, unless it was a major city.

And there is the contrast between then and now. Not only no campus area dance halls, there is no mention of bars or taverns. Aggieville had not one. There were two or three establishments down town and outside of town, but they were 3.2 taverns. Simple reason: after the end of Prohibi-tion, Kansas remained dry. The one concession

was to 3.2% beer, and that only because the legislature labeled it a “cereal malt beverage.” CMBs were defined as not intoxicating liquor. Still, the stigma was such that even that flew a little under the radar. You will go through the Mercury and the Morning Chronicle of the time and not see one ad for a tavern and only an occasional ad for a particular brand of beer. The few taverns are in the tele-phone books and that’s it.

Manhattan was Mayberry with a college.

REFLECTIONS ON THE MAN

When I read the news a week ago Satur-

day night, it was a blow. If you saw pictures of him recently it wouldn’t have surprised you any. Still he was a hero of my youth.

I kind of pity any baseball enthusiast too young to have seen him play. Some say the 40s and 50s were the Golden Age of Base-ball, probably because of television. But people, out side of those who were there for it, never saw him in a World Series. They weren’t televised until a year or two after ’46. ’63 was his swan song. I was broken hearted when the Dodgers swept a late sea-son series and went on to win the pennant. Last chance gone. He should have had one more shot.

I said “pity” and I mean it. Not only was he excellence personified in all aspects, especially hitting, it was because in the batter’s box he was unique; no one quite like him. Ted Williams said he couldn’t understand how he could hit like he did with the big sweeping swing he made. Quick wrists; short stroke is the conventional wisdom. His batting style was compared to a striking snake; more often to a kid peeking around a corner to see if the cops were coming. Deep in the batter’s box, that wiggle of the hips, the crouch, looking over his right shoulder, slightly turned away from the pitcher, legs fairly close together, bat cocked at an angle. There were others with somewhat similar styles: Gene Woodling, Roberto Clemente come to mind, but not the package Musial showed. Some said he ran like a wounded turkey. If he did, it was a compliment to the turkey.

It was a different time then. Pro baseball was a case of voluntary servitude. The club owned you: literally. It could trade you without your say-so as well as send you down or let you go. In negotia-tions, management had almost all the cards. You had to be a real star to have any leverage.

Musial was never thrown out of a game. He never struck out more than 50 times in a season. He once had what was discovered to be appendicitis,

but he went to the plate 5 times, took 5 swings and got 5 hits. He was the first National Leaguer to be paid $100,000 for a season. After the ’59 season, when his average slumped to .255, he asked that his 1960 salary be slashed to $75,000. I wonder if there’s a ball player today, in any pro sport, who would do that?

When the sport was integrated, he took pains to welcome African-American players and befriend them. When Jackie Robinson came in, racism was rife on every team, but St. Louis had more than its share since it was not only the western most team at that time, but also the southern most. He set an example for his team.

His voice was thin and high. He was rather uncomfortable as a public speaker and felt his lack of education. But he was a totally class act, on the field and off. Completely without guile or pretense, he simply loved people, the game and St. Louis.

He was from a time when a ball player could develop his talent his way, if he performed. You could often know who players were even if you saw only a silhouette of them in the batter’s box.

I was totally un-athletic, but I would take some free time and take Musial’s stance, more often than not, and bat rocks with a stick.

So long, Stan, and thanks for being who you were. Niech was Bóg błogosławi i strzeże. God be with you and keep you.

Tallgrass vanilla bean Buffalo Sweata beer with a big bean

Jack Partain

from a being who knows beer, with

In case you haven’t noticed, the last couple of months have been pretty kick ass for lovers of stouts. The closing months of 2012 saw a range of amazing stouts released: the debut of Sierra Nevada’s Narwhal Imprerial Stout, followed by the bottled release of Left Hand Brewing Company’s much hyped Milk Stout Nitro. Then came Samuel Smith’s Organic Choc-olate Stout and Odell Brewing Company’s Lugene Chocolate Milk Stout -alll superb examples of the style. But locally, one release has garnered more attention than the others - Tallgrass Brewing Company’s latest variation on their classic sweet stout - Vanilla Bean Buffalo Sweat. And believe me, it more than lives up to the hype.

Offered in Tallgrass’s signature 4 pack of pint cans, VBBS is a full service, versatile brew. It pours a soothing, natural black and is crowned with thick, majestic head of deliciously creamy off- white foam that bubbles and pops like a crisp soda, but retains it’s integrity through the first few sips before dissolving into delicate laces along the walls of the glass. I’ve never been one to geek out about aroma or “nosefeel” (I’m too impatient to worry about what a beer

smells like) but the cof-fee and chocolate scents evaporating from the glass are tantalizing and easily entice the glass to your mouth. The first few sips are luxurious, with the heavy chocolate and coffee sweetness of traditional Buffalo Sweat overwhelming your pallet but they are soon tempered by smooth-ness of the vanilla, which produces a refreshing cooling sensation. At 20 IBUs there’s no bitter-ness, of course, and at only 5% ABV it’s merci-fully sessionable. I’ve always loved regular Buffalo Sweat but only in small doses, a pint here and a pint there, never more than one at a time. Now, once the candy profile of the beer is subdued by the vanilla the beer be-comes immensely easy to drink and it’s hard to re-sist having another. And another. And another. And... well, let’s just say I hope they never release this beer in 30 packs.
