Klein also threw for 195 yards and one touchdown. “He wasn’t bad, he played well,” Snyder said about Klein’s performance. “He missed a few shots, but managed the ball game like he always does, extremely well. Played hard and tough like he always does. Made good decisions. He played well.” Tyler Lockett also had a great day for the Wildcats, hauling in five catches for 110 yards and a touchdown. He also went 97 yards on the opening kickoff of the second half for a touchdown, the second consecutive week Lockett has scored off of a kickoff return. “We’re doing all right so far,” Lockett said. “I just wanted to do whatever I could to contribute to the team and luckily this is what happened today [Saturday].” K-State’s defense was solid all day as well.

Kyle Landau, vice president of the K-State Economics Club, coordinated several club members to visit local restaurants, grocery stores, bar, gas stations, bookstores and movie theaters to collect information on annual pric- ing. “As we all know, 20 dol- lars will not buy us nearly as much as it could have 10 years ago,” said Landau, senior in economics. “e price of nearly everything has increased substantially over the last decade.” According to the econom- ics club’s figures, gasoline is up 37.4 percent, tuition is up 4 percent and textbooks are up 10 percent which greatly contributed to the SPI’s 12- month growth. Student housing also saw an increase in cost. e aver- age housing cost for a K-State student is up by 3.5 percent. e SPI pointed out that a there was a 7 percent increase for off campus and dorms but an unchanged cost increase for Greek housing. While students have seen a definite increase in prices, the Consumer Price Index for an average American is less. According to the U.S. Bureau of Labor statistics the Consumer Price Index for all urban consumers increased by 3.9 percent over the last 12 months, rising costs of food and energy have attrib- uted to the increase. e full report can be viewed at www. bls.gov/news.release/cpi.nr0. htm . Daniel Kuester, director of undergraduate studies in economics and faculty advi- sor for the K-State Econom- ics Club, said “Once again, K-State students have been hit harder than the aver- age customer by inflationary pressures although this year’s change is not tremendously different from the change overall in the Consumer Price Index.” Since the first set of data was collected in 2002, the SPI has shown an increase in price level of just under 80 percent. Under the same time frame the CPI has increased by approximately 27 percent. “It is a bit disheartening that students are again im- pacted by inflation more than the average customer,” said Katie Gustafson, senior in economics. While costs rose in many areas for students, some areas remained unchanged or are down slightly. Beer, pizza, ICAT tickets and movie tick- ets were all included in this category in the SPI. “We have noticed that the prices of goods that most of us would consider to be luxu- ries, such as pizza and movie tickets, have remained fairly stable,” said Jason Meyer, sophomore in economics. Meyer said he believed luxuries have remained un- changed because businesses were more cautious about raising the prices of these goods. Many customers with disposable income would be more likely to stop or reduce purchasing such items if the prices went up too much or too oſten. “Overall this year’s data is somewhat encouraging when we look at the stable prices of movies, pizza and ICAT tickets along with a decrease in the price of beer,” Kue- ster said. “e fairly large increases in textbook prices and gasoline may change some student behavior where they wait to buy books until aſter the semester begins and travel less.” Price Index indicates students’ cost of living is higher than average American Jakki Thompson staff writer e annual Union Program Council Rocky Horror Pic- ture Show event will take place Friday, Oct. 28. e preshow will begin in the K-State Stu- dent Union Grand Ballroom at 10:30 p.m. and the film will begin at midnight. “is is a tradition at K- State and has been since the Rocky Horror Picture Show became a phenomenon in the 1970s,” said Ashleigh Herd, junior in chemical engineering and films co-chair for UPC. “I grew up with Rocky Horror, making it something I particu- larly wanted to be apart of.” is event will feature many of the same things it has in the past.

Some students may have noticed that their budgets are a bit tighter this year. Accord-ing to the K-State Economics Club, this is due to continued rising costs caused in part by infl ation.

Th e rising cost of living can be attributed to higher prices in several areas that stu-dents are regular consumers of, such as gasoline, tuition, textbooks and housing.

Th e annual Union Program Council Rocky Horror Pic-ture Show event will take place Friday, Oct. 28. Th e preshow will begin in the K-State Stu-dent Union Grand Ballroom at 10:30 p.m. and the fi lm will begin at midnight.

Taking aim

Los Angeles Guitar Quartet tells stories through acoustic concert

Th e melodic stories of Don Quixote, a young Gypsy girl and an upbeat traveling circus were just a few of the tales told in McCain Auditorium Friday night. Th ese stories were not told through voice or narration though; instead the sound of four acoustic guitars resonated through the auditorium. Th ese were the sounds of the Los An-geles Guitar Quartet as they per-formed as part of the 2011-2012 McCain Performance Series.

Th e Grammy award-winning quartet has traveled around the

world through places in Europe, Asia and the U.S. playing sev-eral guitar styles. Th e group per-forms diff erent styles of music from Spanish and jazz to classi-cal style guitar pieces.

For the quartet, each piece they played had a story behind it or told a story through the music. Th ey oft en told the story before the pieces so the audi-ence was able to visualize what the composer had in mind when writing the piece.

“I think it really helps to have the description. It helps to bring the whole thing out, because you can sense it or have instinct in terms of maybe feeling it,” said Martin Vacanti, Manhattan

resident. “But it helps then to visualize it also. Th e mood, the aggression, the resolution, you can sense all of it.”

One Spanish-style piece told the story of a young Gypsy girl haunted by a jealous past lover who did not want her to love another man. Th e piece took the audience through the emotion of the story from jealousy and sorrow to seduction, acceptance and love.

“I think the best guitar music, of course, is Spanish classical so we’re having a good time,” Va-canti said.

Other audience members liked that the quartet told the story before the piece as well.

For Patrick Stokes, sophomore in open options, the explanation was essential for the stories he’d never heard before, like Don Quixote.

“I think that really benefi ts it, since it is supposed to go along with the story,” Stokes said. “I think it would be interesting if they had the words with the reading too.”

“I liked it a lot because it puts a lot more visuals in your head,” said Jessica Th ornton, Manhat-tan resident. “It’s kind of like a movie.”

Along with the story of Don

Quixote, the Gypsy woman, “El Amor Brujo” and the “Circus Polka,” the quartet also played music from the time of Cervantes, “Post-Bop” Clas-sics from Jazz legends, Paisaje Cubano Con Lluvia, or Cuban Landscape with Rain and se-lections from “Carmen Suite.” Each piece highlighted a specifi c guitar style and a diff erent time period.

While many McCain Perfor-mance events are oft en sold out, the crowd for the guitar quartet was a bit smaller. Many audi-ence members said they came

because they knew others who wanted to go or because they were given tickets, but all of them said it as something new and diff erent they were glad they were able to see.

“I don’t necessarily listen to a lot of classical music or any-thing, but I do enjoy the guitar,” Stokes said. “I enjoyed the show.”

Th orton said it was also not music she listened to regularly, but said she defi nitely wanted to see them again.

“I’m wanting to go fi nd some money to get one of their CDs now,” she said.

Flash mob to appear outside of student union

Th e Union Program Council, UPC, will be hosting a fl ash mob in Bosco Student Plaza today from 12:20 to 12:30 p.m. Th is fl ash mob will be to promote the Rocky Horror Picture Show event on Friday, Oct. 28. Th e Rocky Horror Picture Show will be shown in the Grand Ballroom in the K-State Student Union.

“We came up with this idea two years ago and just kind of threw it around for a while,” said Ashleigh Herd, junior in chemi-cal engineering and fi lms co-chair for UPC. “Last year was the fi rst year we did something like this. We looked on YouTube to see what exactly it was, so we de-cided to implement it.”

UPC did this event on the Wednesday leading up to their Friday event in 2010. Th is year, the only time the space was avail-able was Monday.

“We chose to do this as a pro-motion tactic because it really grabs people’s attention,” Herd said. “We try to do this on a day that is closest to the event, so this year it is on Monday.”

“Th e time warp dance is from the movie,” Herd said. “We fi nd any reason to do it. Even people who haven’t seen the movie know about the time warp. It is a fun and upbeat song with the dance moves right in the lyrics.”

Herd said that the people who were in the original group got together over the weekend to nail down the logistics of the fl ash mob. She said there were about 10 original people from the Films Committee in UPC, the Aft er Hours committee and the executive board who wanted to be a part of this.

“If people know the time warp, we want them to join in with us in Student Union Plaza,” Herd said. “We want as many people a part of it as we can get. Th e more the merrier.”

Halloween is approach-ing, and that can mean only one thing: Christmas is almost here. OK, maybe that’s not what you were thinking, but that seems to be a retailer’s mentality. Th ey say the Christmas season comes earlier every year, and it seems to be true. Walmart’s Christmas decorations are already displayed. I went to Bed Bath & Beyond two weeks ago (don’t judge me), and it already had a Santa section decked in red and green.

Retailers know that this is their chance to make bank, so they prepare for it in ad-vance with decorations and seemingly constant streams of “Jingle Bell Rock.” Th e more time they can spend in Christmas mode, the better. Christmas gets a full two months out of the year dedi-cated to its celebration. Every year, we complain about the hyper-commercialization of Christmas, yet we keep buying into the holiday sales and Black Friday hype and Christmas-themed radio sta-tions.

Th ere’s another holiday of sorts that we treat the same way, and it falls on the fi rst Tuesday of November every four years. It is, of course, Election Day. If one can say that the Christmas season is overlong and all about mar-keting, the same is even truer for elections. Th e Republican candidates were announcing their candidacies as early as April and May, a full year and a half before the actual election, and they’ve been receiving consistent media coverage ever since. And this is just for the primaries. We haven’t even reached the “only a year away” mark, and there have already been three or four televised debates among the potential candi-dates. Th e campaigns have even gone on long enough that candidates are already dropping out.

Perhaps worst of all, the constant campaigning is being taken seriously by the public. Rather than com-plaining about the commer-cialism, we’d rather complain about Mitt Romney’s health care plan or Rick Perry’s debate performance. I un-derstand that we’d like to get to know the candidates in advance, but do we really need a full eighteen months of polling and news-watch-ing before we feel comfort-able voting? We’ve already formed our opinions about every horse in the race, and what could we possibly learn about any Republican in the next months that will change our minds?

Just as retailers enable Christmas fever with early decorating and “15 percent off ” sales, the states enable election fever with early primaries. Florida famously voted its primary forward in the schedule this year, and there’s no incentive for a state to pull its primary back. Th e primaries attract attention to the state and its issues in the same vein as “Happy Holi-

days” banners.Christmas and Election

Day come too early because they are both suff ering from the same problem: Th ey’re increasingly focused on money. Businesses rely on the holiday season and Black Friday for a boost of income and try to squeeze as much as they can out of the season, hence the massive amounts of advertising, just as presi-

dential hopefuls can spend up to three-quarters of their campaign budgets in the fi rst handful of state primaries. As much as we’d like to think that we’re immune to the persuasive powers of adver-tising, business owners and elected representatives alike know that we respond to big-budget campaigns.

Most of us can agree that commercializing and ex-

tending these seasons makes them less special and takes away the magic (if elections were magical to begin with, that is), and we all agree that society would be better off if we kept our holidays compressed. I don’t blame the politicians or retail-ers, though. Th ey’re just re-sponding to demand from the voters and consumers, who seem unable to wait.

Perhaps the increasingly lengthy Christmas and pri-mary seasons are indicative of a broader social trend of impatience or gluttony. We simply like too much of a good thing, even if we spoil the good thing by smother-ing it.

From the time we enter school until we fi nish our formal education, we are con-stantly trying to increase our breadth of knowledge. Every-one knows that learning your multiplication tables, state capitals and doing traditional course work as a child is a typical approach to commit important facts and concepts to memory. However, we as a nation must not forget how important the eff ects of fun, spatially stimulating activities like art and music are to cognitive development. Creative thinking greatly stimulates the brain and have been proven to do everything from making reasoning skills stronger to improving mood, behavior and concentration.

In 1996, a survey con-ducted by the College Entrance Exam Board Service on students taking the SAT showed the eff ects on intel-ligence in relation to music. Th ose individuals who played a musical instrument scored 51 points higher on the verbal portion and 39 points higher on the math section of the test. Th is was a pretty impres-sive statistic considering that the increase in logical, left -brained activities like math was due to a right-brained creative activity.

Th e book, “Th e Mozart Eff ect” by Don Campbell

outlines hundreds of ben-efi ts of music education and amongst those, he mentions that treatment for diffi cult disorders such as autism has shown huge improvements in patient response when music is incorporated into their lives. Have you ever had a bad day and put on your favorite artist and felt better, or have you ever realized how when working out, you do much more and go for longer pe-riods while listening to your iPod? According to Campbell, this is because music also stimulates the areas of the brain that cause an increase in energy and motivation.

According to Emily Sohn in the Jan. 10 article, “Why Music Makes You Happy” on discoverynews.com, when listening to music, your brain releases dopamine, the same chemical that makes you feel satisfaction, pleasure and a general sense of well-being. Th is same enzyme is released during great sex or delicious meals, for instance.

Other creative activities such as art can also have a profound eff ect on mood and cognition. Research conduct-ed by the group Americans for Arts published on abraka-doodle.com in the column “Benefi ts of Art Education” that children who regularly participate in an art class or do art projects are four times more likely to be in a math or science fair and four times as likely to win an award for writing. Like music, the social impact of creating art is similar. Th e same column listed numerous benefi ts to a child’s cognitive health. Art students have shown

improved reasoning skills, problem solving skills, better language development and an increased tolerance toward

other people. Additionally, it is impor-

tant to remember that activi-ties like band class, choir or

art programs are usually something kids look forward to and enjoy doing on their own time. In a world where

test scores are becoming increasingly stressed in public schools due to initiatives like No Child Left Behind, schools that cram more math, science and tests into their cur-riculum are missing out on the benefi ts of fun activities that make students happier, smarter, well-rounded indi-viduals.

Unfortunately, budget cuts and funding problems across the nation hit art and music programs particularly hard.

According to Robin Pogre-bin in an April 1 New York Times article, “Art Outposts Stung By Cuts in State Aid,” our great state of Kansas has one of the smallest art budgets in the nation. Th e column goes on to say that in the 2012 fi scal year, 31 states made the choice to cut their art budgets due to the slack-ing economy and recession-related problems.

It is sad that some of the most stimulating and interac-tive parts of our culture and schools are falling victim to rules, regulations and an ideal stereotype of what is most important educationally and socially. I am not trying to say that math isn’t important or that biology isn’t useful, but through art and music, your brain is truly engaged and learning constantly instead of just memorizing facts for the sake of a test. Art and music should be highly stressed in all aspects of life because of lasting benefi ts these activities promote on a social, psycho-logical and intellectual level.

THE BLOTTERARREST REPORTS

Order of Omega to collect canned goods at Pant the ChantKaren Ingramnews editor

Th e greek honorary, Order of Omega, is participating in the Cats for Cans food drive for the Flint Hills Breadbas-ket by collecting food dona-tions at Pant the Chant to-night.

Jackie Baker, senior in public relations and service chair for Order of Omega, said they have been collecting for the Breadbasket at Pant the Chant for many years.

“It’s kind of a tradition,” Baker said. Last year, the did

not do as much promotion as they normally do, but people still brought canned goods to Pant the Chant out of habit.

Whitney Davis, senior in secondary education and English and president of Order of Omega said one of their goals was to have posi-tive relations between the diff erent greek communi-ties. Baker said All Univer-sity Homecoming events, like Pant the Chant, were huge venues for the Greek com-munity and all Greeks shared common goals of community service.

“It’s really neat that this group can bring greeks to-gether in service,” Baker said.

Order of Omega sponsors other events to help the Man-hattan community, includ-ing “Adopt a Family,” where members pool together money to help a needy family purchase toys for their chil-dren for Christmas.

Pant the Chant is in Bram-lage Coliseum tonight at 8 p.m. Doors open at 7:30 p.m. and all who attend are en-couraged to bring canned or nonperishable food items for the Breadbasket.

K-State daily briefs

Here at the Collegian, our staff is in no way anxiously anticipating any of the upcoming events and holidays aside from maybe Saturday’s football game and what ridiculous outfi ts we plan on wearing for Halloween. Our mindset behind this is that we do not want to get ahead of ourselves and take the fun out of upcoming festivities.

Too oft en in our society, we see people jumping the gun as they prepare for these special events, already focus-ing on the next upcoming thing or activity. If you don’t believe us, go look at the Christmas displays in Walmart. Many stores have already taken down their Halloween displays to make room for Christmas ones, completely skip-ping Th anksgiving. Does anyone see a problem here? Th e same can be said for television media as they talk trends and current events to death.

Th e reason holidays, presidential elections, major movie and book pre-mieres, the Super Bowl, the World Series and Fake Patty’s Day are special is because they are not an everyday oc-currence. If the Pride of Wildcat Land played “Th e Wabash Cannonball” aft er every down it would lose its signifi -cance.

We would like to see people try to preserve the meaning and worth of these events by not jumping the gun and focusing on things one day at a time. Part of the reason our football team has been successful thus far is be-cause they focus on things one game at a time. It might be smart for the rest of the purple nation to take a page from their playbook.

Celebrate events one at a time

Week 8 AP Top 25 Poll

For nearly the entirety of the 2011 season, K-State has been regarded as a one-dimen-sional off ensive football team. Th e Wildcats demonstrated an unwavering rushing attack that would wear defenses in to submission.

Against in-state rival Uni-versity of Kansas on Saturday, the playbook opened up to both the run and the pass, and the results were unques-tionably eff ective in a 59-21 victory.

Collin Klein was 12 for 19 throwing the ball for a career-high 195 yards, and connected on a 19-yard touchdown strike to receiver Tyler Lockett.

“He (Klein) wasn’t bad,” coach Bill Snyder said. “He probably missed a few throws, but he managed the ball game extremely well. He played hard and tough like he always does.”

Aft er K-State’s fi rst drive, which produced only fi ve yards on three plays, Klein began to fi nd open receivers all over the fi eld.

K-State scored its fi rst touchdown at the 4:16 mark of the fi rst quarter, capping a drive in which Klein was 4 of 4 for 67 yards throwing the ball. He fi nished the quarter 6 of 7 for 86 yards.

“Unfortunately, we got into some long-yardage situations on third downs, but people stepped up and made plays,” Klein said. “Guys across the board made catches and made plays.”

Th e initiation of more passing plays into the K-State off ense quickly confused the Jayhawks, who then struggled to defend both the pass and the run.

Klein fi nished off four dif-ferent drives with touchdown runs, and John Hubert, who had only fi ve yards on his fi rst four carries, fi nished with 96 and a touchdown on 17 carries.

Meanwhile, the freshman Lockett set career highs with fi ve catches for 110 yards and a score. Chris Harper had fi ve receptions of his own, for 55 yards.

All that from a team rarely expected to pass.

“It was way diff erent (facing a run-fi rst type of off ense),” KU cornerback Tyler Patmon said. “If a guy doesn’t handle his responsibility or stay in the right gap, then the whole scheme can be messed up.”

Th e Jayhawks kept the game close early, but once K-State receivers found openings in the KU secondary, all went wrong.

“We let the game get away from us at the beginning of the second half,” Jayhawk defensive end Toben Opurum said.

Th at may be an understate-ment, as K-State scored twice in a period of 1:07 to begin the third quarter, the fi rst on a 97-yard Lockett kickoff return to begin the second half. From then on, with the Wildcats leading 45-14, K-State’s second consecutive blowout over its rival was well in hand.

“It is another Saturday,” Snyder said. “I think our players played hard and did so with some spirit.”

Lockett said the off ense is headed in the right direction, but hasn’t reached its ultimate goal yet.

“We’re doing alright right now, but we still have plenty of improvement to make,” he said. “I feel like we will have plenty of improvements to make in practice this week while we prepare for Okla-homa.”

While the game didn’t pro-vide quite the test it was ex-pected to, Lockett was happy K-State maintained its recent success in the rivalry.

“We wanted that trophy [the Governor’s Cup] to stay in our complex,” he said. “We went out and made that happen.”

“It was a great game,” Garrett said. “We just came to play and did what we had to do. We keep grow-ing, keep building and we’re staring to get some respect.”

With K-State 7-0 over-all and 4-0 in the Big 12, the stage is set for an epic matchup next Saturday at Bill Snyder Family Stadium with the Oklahoma Soon-ers, which dropped its fi rst game of the year on Satur-day night to the Texas Tech Red Raiders by a score of 41-38. Th e Sooners are cur-rently 6-1 overall and 3-1 in Big 12 play.

“We have tried diligently

to impact the concept of one day at a time, one step at a time,” Snyder said. “Our guys understand that. Th is week is another step and a new beginning. Oklahoma is an unbelievable football team. I’m truly impressed with what Bob (Stoops) and his players have been able to do down there. Th is is a monumental challenge for our football team.”

Regardless of the team ahead of the Wildcats, this team was extremely satis-fi ed to claim the Governor’s Cup for the third consecu-tive year, particularly aft er KU head coach Turner Gill was quoted as saying that his team would get the “last laugh” against the Wildcats this season.

“It’s a big rivalry game here,”linebacker Emmanuel Lamur said. “He told us to lay it all on the line. Th is will be a remembered game.”

Being one of the eight re-maining undefeated teams in the country this late in the season has the confi -

dence level amongst the players and coaches at an all-time high since Snyder’s return to the helm. Th ey face their biggest test of the

year next Saturday in what will be a nationally tele-vised game on ESPN that will hold major Big 12 and BCS implications. Th at has left many wondering if the confi dence level will falter with such a huge obstacle in front of the Wildcats.

“What do you mean, of course we have confi dence going into the OU game,” Garrett said. “What are we supposed to do, not have confi dence being undefeat-ed?”

Th e Wildcats appeared to be going up two sets to one against Oklahoma Saturday in Norman. However, an eight point run by Oklahoma gave them a victory in the third set and the Wildcats never recov-ered as they lost the match in four sets. (20-25, 25-20, 22-25, 21-25).

K-State was able to get a solid day from their hitters as Kaitlynn Pelger, Lilla Porubek and Alex Muff combined for 44 kills, including a career high 13 by Muff .

Th e fi rst set did not get off to a good start for K-State as Oklahoma started fast with an 11-point lead. K-State battled back against the Sooners to cut the lead to 24-20, but the Soon-ers scored the next point to win the fi rst set.

Th e second set was the com-

plete opposite as the Wildcats were the ones with the fast start. Th e lead was pushed to 20-13 when the Sooners tried to go on a run of their own. Th e Sooners were able to cut the lead to 24-20. However, Pelger ended the match with a kill to tie the match at one set apiece.

Th is is where it appeared that the Wildcats seemed to be taking control of the match.

In the third set, the Wildcats and Sooners battled, but then a run by the Wildcats gave them a 22-17 lead. Th e Wildcats were only three points away from winning the match. How-ever, Carlee Roethlisberger, the younger sister of Super Bowl quarter back of Ben Roethlis-berger, had two kills during the run as the Sooners came back for the victory.

Th e tough loss for the Wild-cats meant that they were now down two sets to zero instead of up.

Th e Wildcats now had to win the fourth set just to extend the match to a fi ft h set.

In the fourth set, the Soon-ers were able to keep the Wild-cats at arm’s length the entire set. Th e Sooners held a lead of 19-18 when they went on a three-point streak to push the lead to 22-18. Th e teams ex-changed points for the rest of the set and pulled out the 25-21 victory.

Th e Wildcats have a season record of (15-7,4-4). Th e Wild-cats are getting close to the end of the season and are in a battle with Missouri, Texas A&M for fourth place in the Big 12 standings.

K-State will be back in action on Wednesday as the Wildcats will host the Missouri Tigers at Ahearn Field House. First serve is scheduled for 6:30 p.m. and the match will be televsised on Fox Sports Kansas City.
