Men’s basketball looks to end Students support points system slide against Baylor Saturday for the Sunflower Showdown SCOTT POPP

THE COLLEGIAN

The Kansas State men’s basketball season has seemed to have hit a crossroads. Just two weeks ago it seemed like the Wildcats were right on track to getting back to the NCAA tournament. But since then, the Wildcats have lost three games in a row and are in danger of going on a big losing streak with three top-10 opponents in their next three games. K-State will look to end the losing streak Saturday in Waco, Texas, against the No. 2 Baylor Bears. “Now, we lost three in a row and let us see what we can

do,” head coach Bruce Weber said after the TCU game. “We are going to Baylor, with Kansas following that. All we can worry about is getting ready for Baylor and ourselves.” The Wildcats struggled to start games during their threegame losing streak. They have been down by at least 14 points in all three of those games. They mounted comebacks in all of them, but were unable to put plays together down the stretch to pull out wins. Weber said he told players before the TCU game that energy was key, but the team came out with yet another sluggish start. “I just wrote on the board ‘no quotes, play hard, play with energy,’” Weber said.

“We did not have that and let (TCU) dictate the tempo offensively.” While they did end up losing the first matchup against Baylor, the Wildcats will look to replicate their first half they played against the Bears that day. The Wildcats stayed within a few baskets of the Bears all half and actually went into the break with a lead. Baylor has played well since that 77-68 victory over K-State. The Bears have won four out of five since that game, the only loss coming in a nail-biter to Kansas on Wednesday night. The Bears will again look to use their size against the Wildcats; Baylor out-rebounded the Wildcats 37-24 in the first matchup. They will want more out of their big men offensively. The Bears got just 13 points out of their starting forwards, and leading scorer junior forward Johnathon Motley fouled out with almost five minutes left in the game. The Wildcats will need to be aggressive if they want to handle Baylor’s big men and pull off the upset on the road. “We have to believe and be the aggressor,” Weber said. “There is no sense in playing passive. I kept telling ‘play to win’ and do not ‘play not to lose’ and there is a difference.” The Bears and Wildcats will tip off at 2 p.m. Saturday in the Ferrell Center. The game can be seen on ESPNews.

THE COLLEGIAN

On Thursday, the Collegian reported on the early-entry points system that Kansas State uses for the annual men’s basketball game against Kansas. In the story, multiple viewpoints were shown. One student said that it was a fair system, while another said that some students were unaware of the point system and that was why they did not go to as many games. While it is impossible to find out how the majority of the student body at K-State feels about the system, a few select students can voice the opinion of many. Christian Stromgren, senior in finance, and Kolby Harris, senior in elementary education, voiced what they thought of the system. Stromgren and Harris are both in the first tier of ICAT seating for the KU game due to their constant commitment to attending games. Both agreed that the early-entry point system works well. “It actually makes sense,” Stromgren said. “It’s good incentive for big games. I think it’s a good payoff for them to do that, for sure.” Harris pointed out that the system increases attendance repetition. “From what I’ve seen, the reward system is the best,” Harris added. “The people that we

Shredded paper flies while the K-State starting lineup is announced on Feb. 10, 2016, in Bramlage Coliseum. see in tier one every year are the same people that we see at every game, almost every time.” The main reason that the points system exists, which has been in place since the 20112012 season, is so that students are not skipping classes, but are able to enjoy the Sunflower Showdown from a good seat. “We’ve got the technology to track that stuff and implement a system where it doesn’t require a student to sit outside for a day or a couple of days just to get a good seat for the basketball game,” Scott Garrett, senior associate athletic director for external operations, said. “That was the genesis of where that program started and we’ve had a couple of different versions of it throughout the course of the last few years, but this one seems to have worked the best.” The system has not always been like this, though. Back

when seating was given on a “first-come, first-serve” basis, students would camp outside of Bramlage Coliseum for multiple days, no matter the circumstances. Even when the doors finally opened, the first students in line were not guaranteed spots on the front row, as they would then have to race down the cement steps to grab their spots. Matt Stafford, 2014 K-State alum and current Wichita resident, said that because of the old system of “firstcome, first-serve,” the program that K-State currently has in place is the right move. “I was one of the ones that was there an hour and a half before the game, minimum, for every single game,” Stafford said.

Respectable measures, controversy remains concerning ‘the chant’

Wildcats head to Austin to take on lightning-hot Longhorns

BRETT ENGLE

SHELTON BURCH

There are hardly ever times when a student section can cause so much controversy, but every time the University of Kansas comes to visit Kansas State for a basketball game, there will always be questions concerning the students. You know what it is: the chant. If you don’t know what the chant is, it’s very simple to learn. “F*** KU.” It quite simply might be one of the rudest but also most frightening three syllables in all of college basketball, especially when it rings to the beat of “Sandstorm” through Bramlage Coliseum, a place that is feared by almost every team that enters it. Georges Niang, a former Iowa State player, holds it in high regards of being a hostile place. “Whenever you go to Manhattan, you’re going to expect a bar fight,” Niang once said to the Des Moines Register. “If there’s a prison ball league, it’d be in the Octagon of Doom. It’s always tough down there.” The Octagon of Doom has been called the angriest place in all of college basketball, and that’s not when arch-rival KU comes to town. There’s Bramlage during a basketball game, and then there’s Bramlage against KU: two entirely different levels of intensity. Many, if not all, of the student section takes part in the chant when “Sandstorm” comes on. Even times when “Sandstorm” doesn’t play, the students usually find a way to get those three syllables in almost anything else. “I think it makes us look kind of bad, but everyone here loves it, so I think it’s fine,” Kasey Robinson, freshman in chemical engineering, said. There are also some that enjoy doing it, but think the idea of it and location could be improved upon. “I am torn on the usage of the chant,” Christian Stromgren, senior in finance, said. “I believe it has a time and a place, and I don’t believe either of those are on national television. A better setting is

Building momentum after two straight wins, the Kansas State Wildcats women’s basketball team heads to Austin, Texas, Saturday to take on the No. 12 Texas Longhorns. The Wildcats beat the Oklahoma State Cowgirls last Saturday courtesy of 34 points by senior guard Kindred Wesemann, and they beat the Texas Tech Red Raiders Wednesday night with a 19-point, 11-rebound night by senior center Breanna Lewis. Saturday’s game will likely be a greater challenge for the Wildcats than either of those previous opponents. The Longhorns enter Saturday’s game hotter than their own state this season. They have won 15 straight games and are a perfect 11-0 in conference play this season, including recent wins over No. 22 West Virginia

Fans cheer in the student section during the basketball game between K-State and KU in Bramlage Coliseum on Feb. 20, 2016. a house party or in Aggieville after we win.” While many students love it, there are some that don’t think too highly of the chant. “I do not appreciate the chant,” Allie Deiter, sophomore in journalism and mass communications, said. “Regardless of how much you dislike KU or any other team, I think it’s more respectful to cheer for your own team.” The chant became a big deal after K-State upset KU in 2015 and the students rushed the court, causing a national outcry to ban court storming and put the title of “classless” on the student section. “I don’t think it’s a very good chant because it doesn’t promote good sportsmanship or a friendly atmosphere,” Julia Jorns, freshman in journalism and mass communications, said. “Promoting these qualities does not represent our school in a positive way in how we want to be seen.” The matter even has drawn views from faculty at K-State. “I am into the K-State-KU rivalry as anybody is, and I must say when I hear something like that come out of my TV set, I’m a little off-put by it,” Steve Smethers, associate professor of journalism and mass communications, said. “Emotion is the thing that guides any basketball game, I understand it all, but I think I’m a little bit on the side of ‘let’s keep in mind who’s out there and that there’s an audience of people,’ and that’s not the type of thing

most people would expect to come out of their television sets.” Regardless of a person’s view on the controversy, one thing will always remain the same: an entire student body cannot be changed. A select few might not shout the words, but as long as one person chants it, more will follow. No matter what a person thinks, nobody needs to go out and chicken-wing anyone over three little syllables.

and No. 20 Oklahoma. Their 11-0 record in conference also puts the Longhorns in a battle for Big 12 supremacy. The Wildcats have lost their last last three games against the Longhorns, with their last win coming exactly two years ago from Saturday in the form of a 66-57 victory over the No. 20 Longhorns back on Feb. 4, 2015. Texas is led by junior guard Brooke McCarty, who averages 14 points per game this season, while Lewis paces the Wildcats with 14 points and over eight rebounds per game. K-State has averaged over 68 points per game this season, but the Wildcats will need to play well on defense because the Longhorns enter the game scoring nearly 75 per game this season. The game is scheduled for 5 p.m. Saturday in the Frank Erwin Center in Austin, Texas. It can be viewed on the Longhorn Sports Network or via the WatchESPN app.

Opinion: Why I’m rooting for the New England Patriots after all SHELTON BURCH THE COLLEGIAN

There are a lot of people rooting against the New England Patriots in this weekend’s Super Bowl. Personally, I’m rooting for them, cheating history and all. I’ll be the first to admit I have no loyalty or connection of any kind to the Patriots. I’m not from New England. I’ve never been to the East Coast except in passing through on international travel. I grew up in Phoenix, Arizona, and have been an Arizona Cardinals fan since I began liking sports in the late 1990s. So, while I possess no ties to the team or its fan base, and while I possess no particularly rooting interest

in either team, what I do possess is fatigue at how much hatred has been directed at the Patriots. It’s common knowledge how the Patriots likely deflated footballs in the 2014-2015 AFC Championship game, according to an SBNation article. That’s one claim fans often use to discredit the Patriots, in my opinion, foolishly, because even though they won the game in which they might have deflated the footballs, they still beat the Seattle Seahawks to win the Super Bowl afterward. That fact shouldn’t be overlooked by objective football fans. Neither should the fact that it’s highly likely other teams have cheated in various ways as well. Steroids are as big of an issue for the NFL as any other professional sports

league. Chicago Bears wide receiver Alshon Jeffery was suspended for four games this season after the NFL detected “performance enhancing substances” in his bloodstream, according to ESPN. He’s just one of the biggest names in the league to be suspended for the offense. The league also is facing a lawsuit from some 1,500 former players claiming NFL training staff offered them strong painkilling drugs while “misleading them about the health risks,” according to an Associated Press article published on ESPN. These are just some of the easier examples to find demonstrating that players and teams outside of the New England Patriots have also been caught cheating or, in some way, skirting the rules.

That shouldn’t be overlooked by objective football fans either. Neither should the other facts that clarify the Patriots’ stance as possibly the greatest NFL team of this generation. This will be the seventh Super Bowl the team has been to since 2000. Of the previous six, they have won four of them. Three of those came in a four-year span running from 2001-2004. Then there’s Bill Belichick, the evil Emperor Palpatine’s metaphorical doppelgänger in the eyes of NFL fans who believe the Patriots cheated. Belichick, as the team’s head coach for the last 17 years, surely deserves much, if not all of the criticism for the way the team has either broken or skirted the rules for the better part of the last two decades.

As a head coach in professional football, you are expected, fair or not, to maintain good order and discipline throughout your organization. It’s a fair point to argue he hasn’t done that. It’s also, however, unfair to overlook the fact that he has been the head coach in all six of the Patriots’ Super Bowl appearances since 2000. According to his biography on Patriots.com, Belichick has more combined Super Bowl appearances as either an assistant coach or a head coach than any other man in NFL history. His six appearances as a head coach are only tied by Don Shula, the legendary head coach of the 1972 Miami Dolphins, the only team in NFL history to ever go undefeated for an entire season. That’s the kind of coach

people will get to witness at work on Super Bowl Sunday. Like him or hate him, the numbers speak for themselves. So when I hear common fans talk about how “tired” they are of the Patriots, I roll my eyes and take a different stance. I have no illusions that greatness, especially in the Patriots’ case, isn’t pure. I just think we should take a second and enjoy that we get to witness greatness at all.

Rec Complex offers 8-week fitness challenge TAYLOR BOSTWICK THE COLLEGIAN

As part of the Wildcat Challenge at the Peters Recreational Complex, an estimated 250 students, faculty and community members are participating in Commit to be Fit, an eight-week challenge. Participants take on various fitness activities and are able to earn weekly prizes. Last year, the Recreation Complex held three eightweek challenges; two challenges, Swim Tuttle and Mile High Meg Shearer THE COLLEGIAN

Andrew Kastendick, sophomore in accounting, lifts dumbbells during his workout routine on Tuesday.

Climb, took place in the fall and one took place in the spring, 2 Fit 2 Quit. This year, Commit to be Fit fills the semester to create two eight-week challenges. “(We hope to) encourage people to check out the different parts of what we have to offer,” Denise Simonds, administrative specialist of recreational services, said. Participants must complete four 30-minute activities each week. A survey is sent through an email to each participant where they can mark which activities they completed that week. After completion of the survey, participants are entered into a drawing for prizes. Simonds said the idea is to get students to continue being active at the Recreation Complex even after the program is completed.

Letter to the editor: Betsy DeVos will bring opportunity to education Perhaps the greatest opportunity for kids living in low-income neighborhoods in America is to vastly improve the quality of education. This opportunity comes with the Trump administration’s nomination of Betsy DeVos to be Secretary of Education. DeVos’ plan is to institute the very basic yet profound idea of school choice, also known as school vouchers. The idea of school choice is simple. If desired, parents would get a voucher from the government for the amount of money that would be spent on their child’s education at their local school. Parents would then be able to spend it at another public, private or charter school.

WHAT COULD HAPPEN This would eliminate the virtual “monopoly” modern public education has on the education industry, in addition to those who are not privileged enough to pay for school twice: once through taxes and once through private school tuition. As a result of bringing more

choice to the education industry, schools would compete for students. Bad schools would lose students and those students’ educational dollars. To fight this, schools would need to improve, downsize or shut down. Also, better teachers would be able to be rewarded on merit, which has bipartisan support with 63 percent of Republicans and 57 percent of Democrats. Parents and children would have the power of spending their own voucher that some schools will shift to be more catered to the students’ needs and interests. The diversity of choice would become increasingly prevalent, as with anything in a free market. For example, students may be able to choose between a school that emphasizes more in math and science or a school that emphasizes more in literature and art. This contrasts the system today, where the curriculum is one size fits all.

CHARTER SCHOOLS

Charter schools are what

receive the most attention when discussing school choice and Betsy DeVos at the moment. Charter schools are what I’d previously described above. It is a publicly-funded independent school established by teachers, parents or community groups under the terms of a charter with a local or national authority. They are by nature less federally regulated than current public schools. Charter schools have bipartisan support with a majority of both parties with 58 percent of Democrats and 74 percent of Republicans supporting them in 2016.

“This was kind of in hopes that it would be incentive enough,” Simonds said. “(We want people to) create a habit of coming to the Rec.” Alex Sheikh, freshman in computer engineering, has been a participant in Commit to be Fit since Jan. 29. Sheikh has been an active Recreation Complex member ever since he arrived at Kansas State in August. “It’s something that I’ve always done anyway,” Sheikh said. “This challenge was just an opportunity to motivate me more.” Sheikh said lifting, basketball, running and core strength are at the top of his list of activities to complete. “I just think it’s fun to be active,” Sheikh said. Commit to be Fit intends to encourage people to swim at

Ahearn Natatorium and also to bowl at the K-State Student Union, which works for Andrew Kastendick, sophomore in accounting, who wants to start swimming through this program. Kastendick said Commit to be Fit has not only been a physical challenge, but also a way to connect with friends. “I like how you can have other people to take on this challenge with,” Kastendick said. “You can do these activities with your friends. It allows the option of building accountability with your friends during the challenge.” Registration for Commit to be Fit is at the north service desk. More information is available at the recreational services’ website.

Call Hall Dairy Bar scoops ice cream by the gallons KAITLYN ALANIS THE COLLEGIAN

Home to vanilla, chocolate and purple pride ice cream, Kansas State’s Call Hall Dairy Bar is a favorite K-State tradition to students, families and alumni alike. The dairy bar has 40 different flavors, but rotates their offerings with any 16 flavors at a time, Renee Westgate, food service supervisor of the dairy bar, said in an email. Kyle McGuire, junior in marketing, said he has probably tried about a dozen of the flavors. “Between the couple of times I went to Call Hall and the events around campus that offer (Call Hall Dairy Bar’s ice cream), I’ve racked up that number,” McGuire said. All products offered at the dairy bar are produced from K-State farm units, according to their website. “I honestly think it’s the coolest thing that Call Hall ice cream is made from K-State products,” McGuire said. “It gives a huge educational opportunity for students in many fields of study, as well a business opportunity within the university, and shows a sustainable practice. Plus, just the fact that it’s made from local K-State products makes it a million times better. Where else can you get such high-quality products other than a high-quality university?” Rachel Footit, junior in animal sciences, is active with the K-State Dairy Science club and appreciates that the dairy bar uses local K-State products. “I think that it is awesome that we as a university have made sure to provide our campus with products made local, about a mile from the store,” Footit said. “Being able to educate consumers and students about the dairy industry with-

Graphic by Audrey Hockersmith in a mile distance from farm to spoon is awesome.” The spoons of students, alumni and guests are filled with many different flavors of ice cream, but which one is the most popular? Westgate said the most popular seller is their vanilla ice cream. Based off a 52-week average, Call Hall Dairy Bar goes through 492 three-gallon tubs. The second-highest seller is purple pride, which is a blueberry-flavored ice cream. The dairy bar went through 250 three-gallon tubs of purple pride. “Purple Pride showcases K-State and all its beliefs; we show the pride at a football game, in the classroom, all the way to the food we eat,” Footit said. “Purple is our color and the color we bleed and eat through the amazing ice cream Call Hall sells.” Footit said it’s “pretty basic” for chocolate to be her fa-

vorite Call Hall Dairy Bar flavor, but she is not alone. The dairy bar sold 248 three-gallon tubs of chocolate ice cream, making it their third most popular seller. The dairy bar also sells 770 dips and 102 malts, shakes or “kool kats” in a year, Westgate said. “My first Call Hall experience was my freshman year in the month of March and I went on a lazy Friday for a little pick-me-up and got a chocolate milkshake and I remember it making the day a whole lot better,” Footit said. McGuire said he also has fond memories in the dairy bar. “The first time I made it to Call Hall itself was last year when I was a (community assistant),” McGuire said. “I went over with some CAs and a couple (resident assistants). It was a lot of fun to sit down and enjoy some delicious ice cream with great friends.”
