Following the football team’s 28-14 loss to No. 17 Washburn University, sports editor Klint Spiller jokes with his old friend Clinton MacDonald about how the Fort Hays State University football team can reverse its second half misfortunes against teams in the future.

Oktoberfest arrests down from last ye...
Oktoberfest came and went. This year the festivities saw a decrease in many unlawful activities.
“We spent more time with educating guests,” Chief of Police Jim Braun said.
“We tried to work with our guests so when they leave they have a fond memory and not one of getting arrested.”
According to Braun, small house parties prevailed over large [...]
FHSU enrollment tops 11,000
The number of enrolled Fort Hays State University totals 11,308 as of the 20th day of this semester.

Ill-advised radio
Maybe I’ve watched too many Lifetime movies.
I hear this commercial on the radio all the time for this dentist who uses some kind of drug that will give patients temporary amnesia. The voice on the radio claims this is a positive.
The voice on the radio claims this procedure is safe and effective and will lead to people’s not being afraid of [...]
‘ODST’ blazes new trails
I admit, I was skeptical about the new Halo 3: ODST game. I mean, a Halo game where instead of suiting up as everyone’s favorite invincible super solider, Master Chief, we instead get to play as “The Rookie,” a faceless Orbital Drop Shock Trooper? Does that even qualify as a Halo game?
Nevertheless, I put my faith and hard-earned money in Bun [...]
Smokin’ in the boys (or girls) room
One of the things I noticed when I came to campus was the fair amount of people who smoke. I have to say I simply do not understand why anyone would want to smoke. It makes absolutely no sense to me.
First of all, there’s the health issues involved. Why would you participate in something that essentially amounts to slow suicide? Plus, you sme [...]
Football prepares for No. 17 Ichabods
Last season in the confines of Lewis Field Stadium, the Fort Hays State University football team upset No. 18 Washburn University, knocked WU out of the national rankings and handed the Ichabods its only loss to a team with a losing record.
Now it is FHSU’s turn to go on the road. Once again, WU is ranked, and the No. 17 Ichabods (2-1 Mid-Ame [...]
Walston addresses grocery fashion
Recently, I made one of the most spinster/cat lady purchases of my life. Not only did I buy specialty wet dog food (because my dog’s been sick) and ridiculous dog sweaters (because … well, just because), but I also impulse bought pre-made cheddar popcorn (because it was low-blood -sugar hour) and a TV guide (because I will buy anything with C [...]
Encore premiere provides laughs
Last night at our very own Beach/Schmidt Performing Arts Center, the first performance of the Encore series was performed by L.A. Theatre Works.
This show was actually two shows in one performance, the two shows being “War of the Worlds” and “The Lost World.”
The interesting thing about the two shows was that both of them were radio theatre: [...]
‘Beatles’ game entertains
When I heard there was going to be a new Rock Band game based on Beatles’ music, a little part of me celebrated while another part shriveled up and died.
I debated back and forth on whether I would buy the game.
But in the end, my will power failed, and I ran to the nearest store to purchase the aforementioned game.
The Beatles Rock Band is t [...]
Artist’s Corner: Q & A with Kris...
Q: What do you do that you think could be called art?
A: At this point in my life, I would say composition because I am still working on trumpet. Composition is so subjective, you know?
Q: Do you think you are pretty decent?
A: Yeah, I’m decent on trumpet. I just recently became a performance major. I have had a lot of really good people in f [...]
