FHSU publishes academic journal
Sensing a need for a journal on universities like itself, Fort Hays State University published “Teacher-Scholar: The Journal of the State Comprehensive University.”
The journal, available in print and online, focuses on issues unique to state comprehensive universities, as opposed to research-based or private universities.
FHSU president Edwa [...]
Orchestra looks ahead to prepare for ...
The Hays Symphony Orchestra is preparing for its second concert of the year.
In a departure from the standard, this concert will feature a chamber orchestra, rather than the standard full orchestra.
“Usually we do full symphonic works, with all the woodwinds and brass and big percussion,” said Benjamin Morris-Cline, the music department chai [...]
‘Paranormal Activity’ impresses audie...
The “Blair Witch”-esque horror film “Paranormal Activity” hit Hays on Friday, and I have to say it was pretty darned scary.
Although the movie doesn’t live up to the hype as the scariest horror film ever, the low budget effects and mediocre actors do make it high up on the list.
In the movie, Micah and Katie (actors who kept their real names [...]
Rodeo team members qualify for finals
For many members of the Fort Hays State University Rodeo Team, rodeo is beyond a hobby and something they do for fun. In fact, if enough time and effort is put into an event, it can lead to some pretty hefty paychecks—and national championships.
Take, for example, freshman Gage Blair, who won $2,234 at one team roping event this year and $2,9 [...]

“Just the things some peo [...]

It is scheduled to start at 7 p.m. in Gross Memorial Coliseum. It will also be the first college wrestling action for many of them.

Standing among giants
I’m not going to lie: I was excited to hear that my editor-in-chief Andrew Bauer had swine flu. Only because that meant he couldn’t travel to Lawrence to watch Fort Hays State University take on the number one nationally ranked basketball team in the country.
That opened the door for me, a hard-core KU fan. This was going to be the first bask [...]

The Fort Hays State University women’s basketball team has officially started its season. They traveled to Manhattan to take on the Kansas State University Wildcats in an exhibition game on Tuesday night.
The Tigers trailed by 16 heading into half time. They outscored the Wildcats by three points in the second half but couldn’t pull out the w [...]
