Isn't it great being a K-State fan? You don't have to make up anything about KU; all you have to do is wait for their next idiotic move.

To all the people on campus wearing KU stuff: Did you know that KU's ratio of NCAA "championships" to major NCAA violations is -2? Something to be proud of, I guess.

KU basketball and football players fighting with each other? This is a trend I'd like to see continue.

Hey, check out the Fourum's Facebook page!

To the D-Bag driving the red Kia who almost ran over my roommate and me: You drive a Kia, look for pedestrians.

Beth Mendenhall: Milk is good for you, get that through your thick head.

I'm a 21-year-old female who stands 5 foot 11 inches, 140 pounds, and I just drank a half-gallon of milk by myself in less than 24 hours. Take that.

Beth Mendenhall: I think you're kind of hot and I'd like to take you out on a date, but you don't drink milk, so we can't go out on a date because that's all I drink.

Nice work retard, the letters K, S and U are also in suck.

Beth Mendenhall: When you are an old lady and your bones break because you didn't drink enough milk, maybe then you'll think it is good for you.

Hey. Beth Mendenhall is greater than or equal to Obama.

Hi, Lafene, I think I'm just going to send you my ER bill because two hours after you said I was fine my fever hit 104. Thanks.

Beth Peopledenhall: It is really time for you to just shut up.

Hey Beth, thanks for reminding me to pick up some milk.

Beth Peopledenhall: Uh... I'm tired of your liberal leftist slander.

I got kicked out of the library for putting all the Bibles in the fiction section.

Hey Beth, you need to get your facts straight. Instead of 60 percent, 9 percent of adults are lactose intolerant. Do your job.

You can't spell suck without KSU.

Would somebody tell the city of Manhattan to please fix the stoplight at Bluemont and 11th? Thank you.

Beth Mendenhall: Every time I exhale I feel guilty. Should I quit breathing?

OK, seriously, "Be you, be greek"? I hate seeing those T-shirts.

Jello butt.

Chipmunk of Sky owns Sasquatch.

Beth Mendenhall: I like milk.

Hey Beth Peopledenhall: Got milk?

I'm more tired than the Goodyear factory.

Ah, good old Beth Mendenhall articles.

I'd rather be a hippie than a redneck.

To the guy walking around campus with a boom box: Did you lose a bet?

Roses really smell like poo-poo.

At first we wanted the Collegian to present both sides of production agriculture. Now we just want you to shut up.

Beth Mendenhall is doing her job. Even if she's a quack, she's doing her job.

Milk: It does a body good. Beef: It's what's for dinner. Eat real food, people.

I don't like Chipotle's platform, but, damn, they make a good burrito.

Apparently, according to our unresearched research, K-State makes all their electricity. How much would they pay if they used Westar?

My roommate, a sophomore in biology, is reading the Fourum for the first time and is not impressed.

To the two girls in the parking lot last night: That was a good one hiding behind your car. From: The eighth floor of Haymaker.

I wish Samantha would not have thrown rice all over her arm.

Hey Beth Mendenhall, I would like to invite you to an official date out at the dairy so you can see how milk is really produced.

I saw a squirrel do a backflip.

So, if meat has hormones and milk does too, and vegetables have bacteria on them, what does Beth eat?

Yeah, can I get four McChickens?

We're going to have an argument over your voicemail.

Even KU would hate Beth Mendenhall.

To the annoying jerk who sits in the second row of sociology: Shut up!

To my roommate who's watching "Madagascar:  Escape 2 Africa": I really wish I didn't have to work today.

I hope the really short shorts comment wasn't aimed at me.

Where is the cryptoquip?

To the girl in the library: The panel of judges gets you an 8.5 with good assets.

K-State is the College of Agriculture and Applied Sciences.

Does anyone else look at their cell phone like they would another person, or is it just me?

We just were in a car wreck on the way to President Schulz's inauguration. Way to go.

Bobby Gomez, thank you for your intelligence in the Collegian. You're beautiful.

Attention Boyd fourth floor: Africa called; they want their stampede back.

This is the blonde that works at the front desk of Moore. I don't accept marriage proposals without knowing who's asking.

I want to dedicate this round of a big green combine to my girlfriend down at K-State University.

To the people in Finance 450: Did you see that girl asleep?

I seriously just saw the sexiest man in my life.

Maybe the football team should watch the new episode of "Glee" and get some ideas.

In the O lot, people need to learn to park in between those little white lines, not on top of them.

I'm so popular, I just put the Fourum on hold.

Strawberry banana smoothies from Caribou Coffee is like sex in a cup.

Maggots. All of you are maggots.

I hate Michael Moore.

Death to homework!

This is the D-bag in the red Kia. BTW, it's not a KIA.... and maybe you and your roommate should look before you start jogging across a street that IS NOT MARKED as a pedestrian crosswalk. That would be great...thanks
Collegian a Hypocrite

Mr. Editor,
You will let Beth Mendenhall bash the dairy industry with a poorly written article lacking credible facts but you deny Jessica Hensley by not posting a true opinion article because it calls out the Collegian! Is the Kettle calling the pot black? In case you have forgotten the article is below:
The Column the Collegian Editor Doesn't Want You To ReadShare
Yesterday at 4:04pm
This Thursday you will not be reading my column in the Collegian, as the Editor-In-Chief has refused to print it. Don't worry though, you can still read it. Enjoy.
All too often, I find myself irritated after reading the Collegian. Not in a productive, “I'm going to go out and change the world for the better because I've just read an informative article about a social injustice” way either. I find myself irritated because of the widespread lack of research put into the articles. From metro to sports to the Edge, there is a shortage of well researched articles and an abundance of poorly written ones. I'm annoyed. And via an informal poll (asking the people unlucky enough to sit near me in the library), I know that most of you are too.

In Tuesday's paper there was an article in the Edge titled “College students often fail to dress to impress” which was written by Elena Buckner. The writing was good, the content was not. My first question upon coming across this article was, “who are you to tell me what not to wear?” Without establishing some sort of authority on which to base this list of “don'ts”, the article is nothing but a fashion opinion piece. One that fails to consider the demographic toward whom it is directed. Ms. Buckner writes that “While we are an agriculturally based school, it is not necessary to constantly dress like you’re about to wrangle some cattle...” Unless, of course, you're an Ag student that spends most of your day at the Cattle Unit. Fashion sometimes follows function in a work environment, and referring to this style of dress as a “don't” because you are a Secondary Education major is insulting to those that get dirty for a living.

This trend of questionable reporting is not new to the Collegian either. On Monday, April 21, 2008, it was reported that the Kansas State Equestrian Team finished sixth at the Varsity Equestrian National Championships, ultimately falling to the Georgia Bulldogs. In reality, the Wildcats finished fifth and never faced Georgia. A correction was run in the Collegian the following day, outlining a list of seven major errors in the original article. This was almost two years ago, and the fact checking at the Collegian hasn't gotten much better. If you, as a writer, are assigned an article on an obscure sport, it is your responsibility to become familiar with said sport. It is insulting to the athletes who work hard for their achievements to have them diminished by reporters who don't take the time to educate themselves.

Day after day, I pick up a copy of the Collegian only to be disappointed. It isn't enough that one article in ten is informative and well researched. They all need to be. We are lucky enough to attend one of the best public universities in the nation and we should strive for excellence in all areas, including our school newspaper. Articles need to be more in depth, and better researched. Reporters need to take the time to understand what they are writing about, because even if it isn't important to them, it is important to somebody. And we need more interesting coverage than football, condoms, and fashion. Then maybe, people would start reading the Collegian for the articles instead of for the Fourum.

This is a true opinion article that should have been published but you can bash others but not yourself!

Whoever came up with the name "Beth Peopledenhall" is not as witty as they think they are.
