It’s Good to be in a
College Town
There are lots of
traditional reasons why it
is good to be in a college
town. In most college
towns there are great
opportunities to
experience college sports;
the arts & culture; the
excitement and energy of
college students; great
educational opportunities,
lectures and speakers by a
variety of national and
international leaders and
researchers; alumni
returning to their alma
mater to live, work or
retire; a general energy
and excitement of a
college town; and many
more.
The latest reason that it’s
good to be in a college
town comes in light of our
current national recession.
According to a recent Wall
Street Journal article by
Manhattan Area Chamber of Commerce Little Apple® Business Review
Kelly Adams, “Why
College Towns Are Looking
Smart”, who researched
the unemployment rates
and job opportunities in
major college towns, found
that college towns were
fairly resistant, so far, to
the recession. In fact, the
Wall Street Journal article
stated that major college
towns like Manhattan, KS,
Boulder, CO, Ann Arbor,
MI, Morgan-town, W.VA
and Gainesville, FL all had
similar low unemployment
rates that went well below
the national average of
8.5%.
Currently Manhattan sits
at a 3.6 % unemployment
rate, while our newly designated metropolitan area
that includes Geary, Riley
and Pottawatomie counties
stands at 4.2%. The Wall
Street Journal article went
on to classify Manhattan
as having the 9th best
unemploy-ment rate of
major college towns in the
Untied States. Most economists do seem to agree
that if the recession would
go on long enough that
many college towns would
also see their unemployment rates rise as state
and federal budget cuts
would impact the budgets
of major universities.
But in the meantime let’s
be glad we do live in a college town.
Another reason to be in a
major college town comes
with the recent announcement made by American
Airlines-American Eagle to
fly two round trip daily jet
flights to Dallas/Fort
Worth airport beginning in
August of 2009. Officials
with the airline state that
the presence of a major
university like Kansas
State greatly influenced
their decision to start service to Manhattan. Other
reasons for expansion into
the market included Fort
Riley and the recent
announcement of the new
federal lab, NBAF, and the
general economic growth
of the region.
Finally, it is almost daily
becoming apparent that
being in a college town is
where more and more
people want to locate for
the general quality of life.
This in turn helps attract
businesses and bioscience companies that
provide quality jobs.
Today we are fortunate to
live in an exciting
college town that offers
many amenities and, at
least for the time being, a
resistance to the national
recession.

2A Basketball Celebrates 20 Years in The Little Apple
®
Manhattan celebrated 20 years
of hosting 2A State Basketball
Championships this past March.
Prior to the boy’s championship
game, two men were recognized
who have organized this tournament since the beginning. Over
the 20 years, these men have
served 320 high school teams as
they sought to bring home the
championship trophy. Bands, officials, choirs, dance teams, fans
and communities have all experienced the quiet leadership of
these two.
The Manhattan Convention and
Visitors Bureau along with the
Kansas State High School Activities Association honored Terry
DeWeese and Rod Franz for
their outstanding leadership and
selfless volunteering. Their efforts
have provided thousands of young
Kansans a memorable experience
here in The Little Apple®.
Rick Bowden, Assistant Executive Director from the Kansas
State High School Activities Association presented a KSHSAA
jacket and Karen Hibbard, Director of the Manhattan Convention
& Visitors Bureau presented a
plaque to both Rod and Terry.
Basketball fans thanked these
two men for their leadership and
commitment with a standing ovation. The CVB looks forward to
many more years of their service
and leadership to the 2A tournament.
It takes many other volunteers to
bring about success to the tournament, including those who serve
as team hosts, pass gate volunteers, hospitality room hosts,
t-Shirt sales, programs and ticket
takers. Much of the success
belongs to the many businesses
that provide donations for this
event. Thank you!

Sport and Travel Outdoor Show,
which was held at the Qwest Center
in late February and early March.
Each year from January to March,
the Manhattan Convention & Visitors Bureau represents The Little
Apple® at outdoor sportshows
across the Midwest. This year, the
final show for the Manhattan CVB
came in Omaha.
This show remains one of the best
attended and most successful
shows for Manhattan. Many people
in and around Lincoln and Omaha
love the outdoors and are looking
for opportunities to hike, fish, and
camp out. Tuttle Creek offers a
great weekend getaway for
Nebraska natives who would normally have to travel much farther
out West to find similar opportunities in their own state.
This brings business to Manhattan

opportunities with a potential visitor.
as folks come South from the Cornhusker state to campout and fish at
Tuttle Creek Reservoir.
A popular question at this year’s
show in Omaha had to do with the
Tuttle Creek Off-Road Vehicle (ORV)
area, located near Randolph. Many
attendees at the show asked for
information about the ORV area
and the opportunities it offers for
outdoor recreation.
In the “Did You Know?” department, the Lincoln Jeep Club makes
a monthly trip to the Tuttle Creek
ORV area so club members can go
four-wheeling with their jeeps in the
park.
The great outdoors is just one
example of the many opportunities
Manhattan offers to visitors.

K-State Theatre presents Anton Chekhov’s
The Cherry Orchard
KSU Theatre will present The Cherry Orchard by renowned Russian playwright Anton Chekhov on April 23-25
and April 29-May 2 at 7:30 p.m. in Nichols Theatre. Chekhov’s last masterpiece combines farcical and serious
elements to present audiences with a poignant reflection on the past and a hopeful dream of the future. The
play’s setting in Russia at the turn of the century resonates with our current era, because its characters, much
like people today, are experiencing massive changes in society and in international relations.
The Cherry Orchard tells the story of an aristocratic family overcome by debt, forced to auction off their estate
along with its beautiful historic cherry orchard as the impending Russian revolution looms on the horizon. The
play was first produced by the Moscow Art Theatre in 1904 under the direction of Konstantin Stanislavski. This
new approach to a realistic style of performance paved the way for all the variations of “method” acting that are
the current standard in theatre, film and television today.
The KSU production is directed by Charlotte MacFarland, associate professor of theatre. Scenic design is by
Kathy Voecks, assistant professor of theatre, and lighting design is by Ross Hassler, working on his B.A. in theatre. The costumes are designed by Jason Bishop, a guest artist from New York City.
Tickets are $8 for students, $11 for military, and $13 for the general public. Purchase tickets at the McCain Box
Office from 11 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. weekdays or at the Student Union’s Little Theatre Box Office from 11:30 a.m. to
1:00 p.m. Tuesday to Friday. To order tickets by phone call 532-6428 during box office hours.

K-State’s Beach Museum of Art
expands their collection
The family of a former Kansas
State University psychology professor has gifted more than 70 of his
paintings and drawings to K-State's
Marianna Kistler Beach Museum of
Art.
Roy C. Langford taught at KState for more than 40 years, retiring in 1973. Langford, who specialized in the psychology of visual perception, taught a class on the psychology of art while at K-State. He
also worked with fellow artists in
the Manhattan community to help
establish the Beach Museum of Art.
Langford's watercolor "Sandbar
and Trees in River" is now on display in the Beach Museum's Wefald
Gallery exhibition, "New to the Col-
lection: Works on Paper," through
April 5. The painting, which was
done around 1950, is believed to
be a view of the Kaw River.
"We're really pleased to have Roy
Langford so well represented in the
Beach Museum of Art's collection,"
said Bill North, the museum's senior curator. "Having many examples
of his work, including preparatory
sketches, gives us a better appreciation of his working methods."
"For years, he gathered ideas by
sketching -- in pastures, in the hills,
on the river bottoms, in the
streambeds -- anywhere off the
beaten track," said Jean Andrews,
Langford's daughter.
When he was not working
outdoors, Langford painted in his
home studio in east Manhattan and
invited artist friends in to draw, she
said.
Andrews, Santa Cruz, Calif.,
worked with museum staff to select
a group of objects representative of
her father's art career. Her brother,
Charles Langford, joined Andrews
in making the gift to the Beach
Museum, which includes watercolors, oil and acrylic paintings, loose
drawings, and several sketchbooks.
Andrews said she hopes placing
her father's art at K-State will allow
his contributions as a Kansas artist
to be more fully appreciated.

President Obama signed the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009 in February and several sections of the Act may
benefit small businesses who borrow funds. As America’s small
businesses have accounted for two-thirds of net new job for
decades, The Act is an important step to re-start growth in our
economy.

Section 501 eliminates or reduces fees on many Small Business Administration guaranteed loans
made after February 17, 2009. The SBA anticipates that there will be $8.7 billion dollars in SBAbacked loans in 2009 and that these fee reductions should continue until the end of the year.
Of more significance is Section 502, an increase in the maximum guaranty percentage on many SBAbacked loans to 90%. Lenders often turn to the SBA to guaranty a loan when there is not enough collateral, a common situation with many start-up businesses; without this guaranty, far fewer business
loan applications would be approved.
Finally, the Recovery Act includes funds for the purchase of SBA-backed loans on the secondary markets. Eric Zarnikow, Associate Administrator for the Office of Capital Access at the U.S. Small Business
Administration, says “SBA has worked closely with the Treasury Dept. to get $15 billion committed to
purchase SBA guaranteed loans in the secondary market. Each year, over 40% of the guaranteed portion of SBA loans are sold into a secondary market which provides the bank with cash to be able to
make new loans. These secondary markets have been frozen since last fall and this initiative will help
free up cash for banks to make new loans. Treasury plans to begin purchases by the end of (March).”

Relocation Fair
Fort Riley Garrison staff, the Manhattan Military-Community Liaison and the Junction City Director of Military Affairs recently traveled to Fort Carson, CO to provide information in town hall sessions to Soldiers and
Family Members of the 1-6 CAV who are relocating to
Fort Riley this spring. Approximately 240 personnel
are affected by this unit restationing. Many of these
families have been at Carson for five or more years
and will face a quick deployment with the CAB after
they move. Manhattan provided information about the
big five: housing, healthcare, employment, education
and recreation in custom welcome packets for the
Fighting Sixth. The families were appreciative of the
community welcome and many said they felt better
about the move after receiving all the informational
materials.

Leadership Manhattan
Session III in Topeka
On February 18-19, the Leadership Manhattan Class of 2009 went to
Topeka to learn about state and local government. The afternoon of the
18th the group met with facilitator Dr. Gayle Spencer and special
guest Mike Finnegan for a look at the Art & Practice of Leadership.
Honorary Sheila Frahm spoke on the Board of Regents and Community Colleges.
Thursday began with a visit with former Governor Mike Hayden at
the Kansas State Wildlife & Park’s Office. He shared about his experiences in politics in a session titled, “Ascending Through Leadership.”
From there, the class headed to the Capitol for a quick photo-op with
Governor Kathleen Sebelius. While there, everyone was able to sit in
on sessions in the House and Senate. In the House, we observed the
recognition of several Kansas teachers and in the Senate we watched
roll call and representatives vote.
Also, Dick Carter met to talk about lobbying your case. Bud Burke
and Fred Atchison also spoke. Following this was lunch with local representatives Sydney Carlin and Tom Hawk, Senator Roger Reitz and
Mark Taddiken. They spoke about issues affecting Manhattan, K-State
and Fort Riley. Manhattan Chamber President/CEO Lyle Butler and
some of the Manhattan Chamber Board joined the group for the session.
A very rainy March 11, brought 60+ companies and
over 1,000 job seekers in for the San Antonio
Military Community Job Fair. This incredibly busy
5-hour event was very successful for the Manhattan
Chamber as many were interested in jobs in Manhattan. Several of resumes were collected and
ongoing contact is being made to bring these
skilled workers to our area.
Kent Glasscock, former Kansas Speaker of the House discussed the
topic of “Why are you a leader? What are you doing about it?” He said
that leaders need passions to lead. Kent shared the reported last
words of Senator Huey Long, “God, don't let me die. I have so much
left to do.” That is passion. Mr Glasscock also said that leaders must
lead through doubt and he shared a T.E. Lawrence quote, “Nothing is
written, except what is written in the heart and the mind.” It was quite
an inspiring time for the class.
Kenny Wilks then joined Kent to speak on Biosciences-K-State/Manhattan. The class was able to ask questions to better understand the
work that went into getting NBAF in Manhattan. Kenny imparted this
wisdom, “Don’t be afraid to fail.” Good advice!
The class then took a short jaunt outside in the frosty winter weather
to the Curtis Building where Diane Duffy, with the Board of Regents
discussed the work of the Board. After a last wrap-up time, everyone
headed back to Manhattan their understanding having been expanded
to the way state and local government works. Hopefully, they will think
about becoming involved in politics to use their leadership skills in that
capacity.
