For the fall semester, the university has identified alternate study spaces for students to use while Hale is unavailable. It is estimated that 30,000 students visited Hale Library weekly. In the meantime, K-Staters continue to band together and help each other during the restoration process. Colleges and departments across campus have opened their doors to library staff, providing temporary office space until they can return. The K-State Libraries administration team, including Dean Lori Goetsch, are working from the third floor of the K-State Alumni Center. The K-State Student Union also has lent space for library use, and K-State Libraries satellite locations have also taken on new roles. Additionally, the libraries of the and Wichita State University have extended lending rights to K-State students and faculty. “Now that the initial shock and sadness has worn off, we’re getting excited about the opportunity to reimagine Hale Photos by David Mayes ’96, K-State Alumni Association Books stored at the library’s annex Library,” Goetsch said. “We were already going to renovate the first floor, and now, with the support of the K-State K-STATER 53 community, we will expand our vision.

In a nutshell the film looks at Coach Bill Snyder’s turnaround of the K-State football team in the late 1980s and early 1990s. While this story has been told innumerable times, until this year it hadn’t been told in a feature-length documentary. That’s exactly why Dan Youngman ’07 decided to produce it. formats and value it for in-depth university and alumni news, “I think most college football fans, especially K-Staters, have thought, ‘somebody should do something on the turnaround,’” Youngman said. “We’ve all scene the clip of Bill Snyder saying ‘the opportunity for the greatest turnaround in college football history exists here.’ I just decided to dig a little deeper and try to make it happen.” K-STATER 31 • • • • • • • CLASS NOTES • • • thought-provoking features and profiles and the well-read
