Megan Tear almost threw thousands of dollars of "Wheel of Fortune" winnings into the fire Saturday.
After spinning the wheel seven times, Trear, Olpe graduate student, decided to solve the puzzle.
"Sipping hot cocoa in the open fire!" Nope. Not right.
"AAAAAAAWWWWWW," the audience moaned.
She said disappointment was the first thought that popped into her mind.
She gave it to Pat Sajak, host of the show, and spun the wheel three more times. She chose the letters "C," "P" and "Y."
Tear filled the few remaining blank spots
Then came money, a Swiss Alps vacation and a membership to Gold's Gym — all from one round.
"Sipping hot cocoa by the fire!"
By the end of the game she won $20,350 worth of cash and prizes.
"I'm going to pay off my law school student loans," Trear said. "And take my family on vacation."
Trear wasn't the only Jayhawk to win from the Wheel's Big 12 College Week, which was taped in Bartle Hall. Kansas City, Mo.
puzzles and walked away with $5,100.
Ricky Fursetzer, Minnetonka,
minn. sophomore, won four out of six
He planned to use his winnings to visit his grandma in Las Vegas.
Fursetzer almost had a European vacation but he guessed the wrong letter.
"It landed on Europe and I knew what the puzzle was, I was going to solve the whole thing." Fursetzer said. "I was staring at the letter "R" but I meant to say "D" and I'm going to be beating myself up for it."
The puzzle answer: "Where the deer and antelope play twister."
He won $3,000 from two toss-up rounds and solved one puzzle that was "I before E. except after C."
The episodes with Fursetzer and Trear will be aired the third week of May.
Bands from the University of Kansas and Missouri University played during commercials, before and after the show.
After the taping of Trear's show, Pat Sajak danced in the aisle with Big Jay while the bands played.
The energy level is a lot higher doing a show in a place such as Kansas City, Mo., than Los Angeles because television shows don't tape there very often. Saiak said.
"When you throw colleges on top of that, and bands and cheerleaders, it's almost exhausting to this poor, old host," he said. "But it's great fun."
Delta Force will try to put out fire alarms
BY ERIC SORRENTINO esorrentino@kansan.com KANSAN STAFF WRITER
Delta Force will try to curb the problem of false fire alarms in residence halls if it gets elected in this year's Student Senate elections.
Fire alarms would have packets of ink that would explode in all directions after the alarm was pulled. No residence halls at the University have fire alarms with this feature.

"This is an accountability issue," Elaine Jardon, Delta Force presidential candidate and Overland Park sophomore, said. "The people who are pulling these false fire alarms are not being prosecuted in any way."
Student Housing offered a Crime Stoppers reward of $1,000 last semester to anyone with proof of who pulled false alarms in McCollum Hall.
One hundred six false fire alarms were pulled in residence halls last year. McCollum had 28 false fire alarms, more than any other residence hall on campus. Ellsworth Hall was second with 19.
Courtney Carabello, Brewster, N.Y., freshman, said she would be open to testing out a new system.
"I live on the 10th floor of McCollium and I can't count the amount of times I've had to run up and down the stairs," she said.
When this happens, waiting outside causes her sleep deprivation and a lack of concentration for classes the next day. Carabello said.
McCollum would be the first to test the new system because it has had the most false alarms historically. Delta Force would use funds from housing fees, Student Senate reserve accounts and Association of University Residence Halls reserve accounts.
Ken Stoner, director of student housing, said he was not familiar with fire alarms that sprayed ink but would be open to test the system.
Every McCollum fire alarm currently has a plastic covering. If a student were to pull a fire alarm, a purple gel would stick on his skin.
The problem with the gel, however, is that a person can wear gloves and walk out of the building unnoticed. The proposed ink would cause more of a scene and would be more difficult to clean off before the person evacuated the building, said Stephanie Craig, vice presidential candidate for Delta Force and Edmond, Okla., junior.
A person sprayed in ink would take as long for the police to find as a person sprayed in gel. But the ink would stay on for two to three days, giving police longer to search, Jardon said.
A few individuals were removed from McCollum last fall for tampering with fire equipment, Stoner said.
