Jones agreed he’s likely the reason there was a large crowd despite the weather conditions at Frank Anneberg Park in Manhattan.  In June, hundreds of guests celebrated with Jones, who suffered a medical emergency the…

It wasn’t so much a punch to the gut as it was a series of body blows that did in Kansas State Saturday afternoon as the Wildcats lost to Tulane 17-10.

Although construction has already begun on the Tracz Family Band Hall at K-State, the community celebrated the future home of the band on Friday.

However, he is still honored to have the new hall named after his family since they have accepted his absence at many family functions for three decades. Tracz says band members have other responsibilities such as attending classes, so…
