Gov. Brownback challenges state schools to make $15K degree KAITLYN ALANIS THE COLLEGIAN

Students might be wishing they waited to attend a Kansas institution after Gov. Sam Brownback challenged institutions across the state of Kansas to develop a bachelor’s degree that would cost only $15,000 in his State of the State address on Jan. 10. Currently, one semester at Kansas State costs the average 14-credit-hour student $8,411 plus course fees. Based off the 2016-2017 tuition rates, a fouryear degree costs about $36,000 in tuition. For K-State, meeting Brownback’s challenge would require a 55.4 percent drop in tuition. “I trust that Kansas colleges and universities are fully capable

to rise to this call,” Brownback said. “Kansans deserve access to an affordable college option.” As previously reported by the Collegian, this challenge comes after Brownback cut $17 million in state funding to higher education in 2016 due to a $53 million state budget deficit. In March, K-State lost $4.9 million in state funding as a result of this cut. Jessica Van Ranken, senior in political science and student body president, said she finds this challenge very interesting, but does not understand where Brownback’s idea that this challenge is feasible came from. “For example, is this idea born out of the idea that universities cut more from their budgets or is it out of the idea that funding sources can grow,” Van Ranken said. “I think it brings up a lot of those questions about

how would we make a $15,000 degree possible. I think it would be helpful to know a little bit more about the governor’s vision and how he thinks this would be achievable with the current funding sources for universities.” Colleges across the university have already been faced with making cuts from their budgets, as seen in the Collegian’s budget cut series featuring how the colleges have dealt with a 5 percent internal callback and the state budget cuts. “This challenge will be a very difficult thing to do when we have seen the cuts over recent years,” Van Ranken said. “Would we do so from increased funding from the state or private philanthropy?” Brownback released his budget proposal on Jan. 11, and it does not look as though increased funding from the state

is a possibility in K-State’s near future. The fiscal year 2018 budget for K-State is $95.4 million, which is about $2 million less than the current year. “I am definitely interested to hear more details about how the governor’s idea for a $15,000 degree would work and I think looking for how that would be feasible is an important thing to do,” Van Ranken said. “I also think in order to make that happen, while preserving a lot of the important education that currently goes on at the universities, more state funding might be needed to make that a possibility.” Brownback said in his State of the State address that the first institution to complete this challenge will receive 50 scholarships for students who major in the $15,000 degree.

Fire alarm evacuates Derby Dining Center during lunch rush Religion Directory RAFAEL GARCIA THE COLLEGIAN

A panini grill was the cause of a fire alarm that evacuated students, cafeteria workers and administrative staff at the Derby Dining Center Thursday morning. According to Mark Edwards, unit director at Derby, while there was no actual fire, trace amounts of smoke from the grill were enough to set off the dining center’s alarms around 11:15 a.m. “Our air monitoring system that accompanies our fire alarm system is extremely sensitive,” Edwards said. “We had a panini grill in a self-serve station that had some food debris on it. Even though we could not see smoke, the sensitive air system picked up on that smoke.” Edwards said the fire detec-

Bailey Martin, sophomore in electrical engineering, said she had just walked into the dining center lobby when the alarms rang.

“I had just gone to the Union with a friend,” Martin said. “I was coming to Derby to eat lunch. I decided not to eat lunch, at least not then.” Derby staff were unsure whether or not the alarms were real, said Mariah Kieffer, senior in nutrition and health and assistant student manager at Derby.

Big 12 men's basket- Opinion: Save your hate for KU basketball ball: Power Rankings JASON TIDD

KU basketball players celebrate after a play during the basketball game between K-State and KU in Bramlage Coliseum on Feb. 20, 2016. RILEY GATES

THE COLLEGIAN

1. KANSAS (17-1, 6-0) (LAST: 76-72 WIN OVER IOWA STATE) (NEXT: TEXAS) The Jayhawks are off to a blazing start in pursuit of their 13th-straight Big 12 Conference championship. Kansas has had a few close calls in conference play, but the record is still unblemished and won’t likely be touched in an easy game against Texas.

2. BAYLOR (17-1, 5-1) (LAST: 74-64 WIN OVER TEXAS) (NEXT: AT TCU) Baylor coach Scott Drew looks like he finally has his team as a contender. The Bears have lost just once to a very good West Virginia team. They’ll have a bit of a fight at TCU on Saturday.

3. WEST VIRGINIA (15-3, 4-2) (LAST: 8987 LOSS TO OKLAHOMA) (NEXT: AT KANSAS STATE)

West Virginia looked to be a conference contender as well this year, and while it is still early, the

4. KANSAS STATE (14-4, 3-3) (LAST: 9688 WIN OVER OKLAHOMA STATE) (NEXT: WEST VIRGINIA)

The video board flashed “K-S-U,” but on the wrong beats; the cheerleaders held “K-S-U” signs, but they were ignored. The chant from the student sections was something much different but all too familiar at the men’s basketball game against No. 1 Baylor on Jan. 14. “F*** KU.” You have to admit the chant makes for a uniquely intimidating atmosphere, for both opposing players and families. Only twice have I ever felt goosebumps crawl up my arms before a sporting event started. The first was standing in formation after pregame show with the marching band as Harleys roared past before the football game against Auburn in 2014. The second was as the loud and proud profanities of the unison voice of the students deafened all else during tipoff at a KU game. Banning “Sandstorm” won’t stop it — it will only force the chant to find new homes, like the “Wabash Cannonball.” The chances of eliminating the profane chant are about as likely as KU winning the national championship in football next year.

Even if Bill Snyder taped a public service announcement where he pleaded with students to cut vulgar words out of chants because we are a university that prides itself on family, it wouldn’t work. Nothing K-State Athletics or university administration could do would make the chant go away, short of kicking out everyone who participates in the chant. And if they did, the only students left would be the members of the Cat Band who are forbidden from participating in the profane theatrics. As a member of the band, I have never participated in the chant. Personally, I don’t like it. I do think there is an appropriate time and place for it — maybe the sports bar or the living room couch when you’re home by yourself with a pizza and a special beverage — but Bramlage is not the place, and games against other schools are not the appropriate time. Students at Iowa State reportedly copied our chant when they played KU on Monday. And the “Muck Fizzou” days leave Kansas fans with little room to stick their noses in the air and look down on what they consider “classless” K-State fans. Personally, I would like to hear chants referencing “traveling” every time Kansas

I know we wrote great 140-character tweets, so I am confident in our ability to come up with a new three-syllable chant. But I’m not so naive as to think anything I say would make the least bit of difference on the student section’s word choice. I am a big supporter of the First Amendment, but the line needs drawn somewhere. Stop chanting “F*** KU” when we are playing other

teams, including Saturday’s game against No. 7 West Virginia. Save it for the KU game. Is it really all that unreasonable of a compromise? The views and opinions expressed in this column are those of the author and do not necessarily reflect the official policy or position of The Collegian.

K-State needed a win badly to avoid a possible snowball of losses. It answered that challenge with a big road win at Oklahoma State. The Wildcats will need to build off that win and defend the home court when West Virginia comes to town Saturday.

5. TEXAS TECH (14-4, 3-3) (LAST: 75-69 WIN OVER TCU) (NEXT: OKLAHOMA STATE)

Texas Tech has notched some nice wins in conference play with West Virginia, K-State and now TCU. However, all three games have been at home, while all three of the losses have been on the road. If Tech canshow it can win on the road, they will make it tough on the

THE COLLEGIAN

After a rough start to 2017, the Kansas State tennis team looks to get back on the winning track as they hit off their home season against South Dakota and University of Missouri-Kansas City on Saturday in Manhattan. The Wildcats started the season with two losses in their tournament last week in Honolulu, Hawaii, where the were defeated by Washington 7-0 and Hawaii 4-3. It was not all bad for the Wildcats as seniors Livia Cirnu and Palma Juhasz

and freshman Ines Mesquita managed to pick up individual victories in Hawaii. “We saw improvements from our first match to our second one,” head coach Danielle Steinberg said to K-State Sports. “I am confident this trend will continue this weekend and every match we play onwards. We had a couple of good practices already since we got back, and it’s evident the team is getting more comfortable and confident every day.”

Wildcats look to knock off West Virginia SCOTT POPP

THE COLLEGIAN

Kansas State has lost to West Virginia five times straight. They will look to reverse that trend Saturday when the No. 7 Mountaineers come to town to take on the Wildcats. K-State is gearing up for the game after a big road win against Oklahoma State on Wednesday night. The Cats beat the Cowboys thanks to the offense running at full strength. The Wildcats scored 96 points for the win, their highest point total of the season. They were led by sophomore guard Barry Brown who paced the team with 22 points. Seniors D.J. Johnson and Wesley Iwundu also played well; Johnson finished with 18 points and six rebounds. Iwundu had a great all-around game and finished with 15 points, eight rebounds and eight assists. “It was just a good team win and a great road win,” head coach Bruce Weber said to media after the game. “We’ve been so close and something good happened. If you have a good attitude, good things will happen.” West Virginia, on the other hand, fell victim to an upset at the hands of Oklahoma. The Mountaineers moved up to No. 7 in the rankings before the game, but allowed Oklahoma senior guard Jor-

homa, the Mountaineers are one of the top teams in the Big 12 Conference and the country. They come into the game

at 15-3 and 4-2 in the Big 12. Their up-tempo pressure defense could cause problems for the Wildcats; they lead the nation in steals-per-game with more than 12. Having multiple ball-handlers on the court in Iwundu, Brown and sophomore guard Kamau Stokes could help offset West Virginia’s pressure. The Wildcats will also be well prepared after playing Oklahoma State, a team that can cause fatigue like the Mountaineers. “When we play West Virginia, it’ll be even faster,” Iwundu said after the Oklahoma State game. “So, I think we need to do a good job of taking care of our bodies, recovering and getting prepared for the next game.” The Wildcats and Mountaineers will tip off at 5 p.m. on Saturday at Bramlage Coliseum. The game will be broadcast on ESPN2.

and five of their last six, head to Ames, Iowa, to take on the Iowa State Cyclones on Saturday. The Wildcats continue to rise up in the rankings. In the last two weeks, they’ve jumped into No. 25, then to No. 22. A win Saturday could help them move up even further, especially after No. 20 Oklahoma lost to No. 12 Texas on Tuesday. K-State has been led by seniors Breanna Lewis and Kindred Wesemann, who hit some milestones in the Wildcats’ win over TCU Wednesday night. Lewis recorded four blocks in the game, making her K-State’s all-time leading blocker; she is seventh in Big 12 Conference history. With her five 3’s against TCU, Wesemann moved to fifth all-time in K-State history in number of 3’s made. Iowa State might not put up much of a fight. The Cyclones enter Saturday’s game with three straight losses and only a single win in their last seven games, a 29-point win over Kansas on Jan. 8. Outside their conference record of 1-6, the Cyclones are having a good season. They are 10-8 overall, with their nonconference losses coming against the Iowa Hawkeyes on Dec. 7, 2016, and against thenNo. 6 Mississippi State on Dec, 3, 2016. The Wildcats play the Cyclones at 5 p.m. Saturday in the Hilton Coliseum.
