‘Hearing from the Heartland’ to take place in McCain

Architecture fee discussed at Tuition and Fees Strategy Committee meeting

in the Senate Committee on Agriculture. “It’s time to get to work on another Farm Bill, and we’re heading straight to the heartland to talk directly to producers,” Roberts said. “I can’t think of a more appropriate venue to hold this hearing than Manhattan, Kansas, the home of Kansas State University, the Kansas Department of Agriculture and Kansas Farm Bureau.” A list of who will be speaking can be found on the Senate Committee on Agriculture’s website. All faculty, staff and students are encouraged to attend the hearing. For those who cannot make it, the hearing can be watched live at www.ag.senate.gov.

Jessica Van Ranken, senior in political science and student body president, asked if there would less of a need for a fee when the new building is complete. “Honestly, no,” de Noble replied. “None of us can predict what happens 47 miles that way (to the Capitol). I don’t see the fee going away.” Mostly, de Noble said, because the technology needed for his students changes so rapidly, he has to be strategic about how he acquires that technology. Even with the fee, de Noble said he will wait to buy new technology until the price goes down. “The thing is that we may not be cutting edge, but we get it when we can,” de Noble said. When permanently located in the new building, de Noble said he will look at increasing fees again based off the original agreement, but not until after first discussing it with students. Trent McGee, graduate student in counseling and student development, said it looks like the College of Architecture uses their fees very well, and he appreciates that the college did not ask for an increase. “That would be something I am not for, but I am not ‘slash and burn all fees’ as much as I just don’t want to see fee increases this year,” McGee said.

KAITLYN ALANIS THE COLLEGIAN

McCain Auditorium will host the U.S. Senate Committee on Agriculture, Nutrition and Forestry’s “Hearing from the Heartland: Perspectives on the 2018 Farm Bill from Kansas”— the first of several hearings on the reauthorization of the bill — on Feb. 23 from 2 to 5 p.m. According to a Jan. 25 release from the committee, the hearing will feature testimonies from agricultural producers. Sen. Pat Roberts, R-Dodge City and chair of the committee, said in the release that he will put farmers and ranchers first

If every tax-paying Kansan paid an additional 30 cents in taxes to go toward the College of Architecture, Planning and Design, Tim de Noble, dean of the college, said it would probably generate enough revenue to eliminate the need for their current $40 per-credit-hour technology fee. The existing fee generated $714,570 in fiscal year 2016 and $673,355 in fiscal year 2017, and the fee is used to pay for new technology and equipment, design-laboratory chairs and desks, and the salaries of the coordinator and computer shop technologists. The fee was first implemented in 2003 and was $14 per credit hour. In 2013, the fee increased to $35 when the college made an argument for a new building, de Noble said in his fee review presentation to the Tuition and Fees Strategy Committee. All colleges are expected

to present to the committee every three years to renew any student fees. De Noble said that while he needed the fee to generate some revenue, it was also important to have as leverage with the state for more higher-education funding. “After working with the students, we decided that if the students put some skin in the game, I would be able to make that argument over at the state and also with my alumni base, and it worked,” de Noble said. Trenton Kennedy, student body vice president and junior in entrepreneurship, said he appreciates the architecture students’ dedication to their program and how they were willing to increase fees to have leverage with the state.

DEFERRED FEE INCREASES

renovations took off, de Noble said he did not feel right continuing to raise the student technology fees since the students had to take classes at a location near the airport in the meantime. “We have deferred raising the fee any more than that,” de Noble said. He said he has been talking with the Dean’s Student Advisory Council to investigate other ways to generate funds without raising the fee, such as initiating “compact one-rate tuition” all the way through the five-year degree that currently includes both undergraduate and graduate-level tuition. This would make it so students pay the same tuition rate over all five years. “We also leveraged the fee for donations,” de Noble said. “From my viewpoint, we went from a college with donations of about $1 million a year to — in the current campaign — we’ve raised just shy of $30 million, which means we’re averaging about closer to $6 million a year now.” De Noble said the increased donation rate is because he can often use the student technology fee as leverage when talking to alumni. “Often because literally one of the things I’ll say to an alumnus is, ‘Did you know that my students pay more money in technology fees than you paid in tuition?’” de Noble said.

OPINION: Have we neglected political discourse? too implausible?

TK MCWHERTOR THE COLLEGIAN

MODERN MEDIA

I was recently asked by a friend what I thought about the future of American politics. My only response to the question was, “What is the state of politics today?” We have just come off an election cycle that had the Founding Fathers turning in their graves. The utter lack of policy discussed was startling. During the campaign, the majority of the time was spent arguing about emails, tax returns, Goldman Sachs speeches, the NBC video, Bill Clinton’s past sins, Melania Trump’s risqué photo shoot, a basket of deplorables, Wikileaks and the Ku Klux Klan. Trump lashed out at each of his GOP foes, not about policies, but personal attacks. He said Ben Carson was clinically insane and had tried to kill his friend in his teens. Jeb Bush was low energy. Ted Cruz had an ugly wife, was born in Canada, and his father was part of the assassination of JFK. And as for Rand Paul, well, at least “(Trump) never attacked him on his looks and, believe me, there (was) plenty of subject matter right there.” Trump gave his enemies nicknames such as Little Marco, Lyin’ Ted, Goofy Elizabeth Warren (also Pocahontas), Dopey Bill Kristol, Crazy Bernie and, last but not least, Crooked Hillary. And he was the winner. It was cringe-worthy but entertaining, nonetheless. My only question after the election is: will the new season of House of Cards be able to match it, or would it just seem

We have a substantial problem in the trust of the flow of information. The media has become, for all intents and purposes, just part of the entertainment industry. Some of the most trusted and watched news shows for some years now are on Comedy Central, especially among young adults. As far as networks as a whole, the most trusted network, Fox News, in my view, is far from trusted, with only 35 percent of American voters saying they at least “somewhat” trust it. The least trusted network, MSNBC, doesn’t fall far behind, with 51 percent of American voters saying the same thing. CNN, ABC, NBC and CBS each fell somewhere in between. The 24-hour news cycle and demand for news makes what would be non-stories in an earlier era, now front-page headlines. The constant new narrative every day, usually starting with a Trump tweet about flag burning or “fake news” somewhere between 3 a.m. and 8 a.m. is what drives the entire news cycle. The increasing reliability of Twitter and other social media outlets as a primary source of news causes certain news to spread quicker than ever before, fake or real. Accuracy in reporting has taken a back seat to swiftness and confirming biases. A big shock in the media industry is right around the corner, if not already here.

CELEBRITY POLITICIANS

For eight years, we had

a president who regularly appeared on late-night shows with Jimmy Kimmel, Jimmy Fallon, Trevor Noah and others. He had interviews with several top YouTube celebrities like GloZell Green. Obama was a celebrity himself. His videos on “Between Two Ferns with Zach Galifinakis” and one with Bill Murray in the Oval Office just proved he was a “cool guy” and had tons of swag to him. He even ended some of his speeches with a mic-drop. But then comes Donald Trump, an actual reality TV star who had his own show for years. He used Twitter every day of his campaign and continues to tweet now. He meets with celebrities in Trump Tower. He always gives us a constant reminder of his ratings and crowd sizes. He’s an entertainer. Meanwhile, we have former Texas Governor Rick Perry on Dancing with the Stars and Speaker Paul Ryan dabbing on CNN. Contrast this with politicians of the past. I would find it hard to imagine Abraham Lincoln mic-dropping after the Gettysburg Address. After a president and a culture has made this the norm, should we be surprised Trump won? I’m sure it will be tough for people of both sides to see, but Trump is just Obama on the other side of the aisle.

POLARIZATION

Now I know that last sentence probably enraged some people, which only highlights my next point. Our politics have devolved into a teamsport mentality. This phenome-

non manifests in the argument that if an opposing party does something — it is bad, but if someone on your side does it, then it’s fine. We’ve seen this on many issues on both the right and the left. Federally-paid maternity leave was attacked by many conservatives when Bernie Sanders brought it up in January 2016, but it was cheered by the same people less than a year later when Trump announced his somewhat similar plan. This new outrage from the left of being soft on Russia is particularly interesting, as we know just a few years ago Obama asked Russian President Dmitry Medvedev for flexibility until after the 2012 election, presumably a quid pro quo for the annexation of Crimea, invasion of Ukraine and giving Putin virtual control of Syria. Not to mention all of the people on the right who were outraged by Obama’s behavior, now support Trump when he says we should work with Putin. When Harry Reid changed the longstanding rule for appointing cabinet position from a three-fifths super majority to a simple majority of the Senate, the left cheered and the right was outraged. Now that Trump’s appointments are passing, often by one or two votes, the right cheers and the left is outraged. The expansive and prevalent executive orders that Obama signed into action were supported by the left and were accused of executive overreach from the right. Now the tables are turned, and the left cannot understand how Trump has all

of this power. Trump supporters find Trump’s pseudo release of his businesses sufficient, but I doubt the same attitude would be present if it were Hillary and the Clinton Foundation. I could go on. This apparent hypocrisy is demonstrative of the polarization that is prevalent in the U.S. today. The fact that we had riots and protests in the streets the day after the election and on the day of the inauguration further reveals this. Compared to all other presidents before him at this point in a presidency, Donald Trump is the most approved by Republicans (84 percent) and least approved by Democrats (8 percent). Some polls show an even wider gap. This further illustrates the currently extremely deep division in our political partisanship. It is the symptom of both the leaders on the right and the left, but in different ways. The right’s fight is against the left and what it deems to be instruments of the left — namely the mainstream media, Hollywood and academia. Trump is now the leader of the party, and his continuous attack on the other side seems to have no end in the sight. This repels those who dislike his vicious rhetoric. Meanwhile on the left, their enemy seems to be those they identify to be purveyors of

oppression. Social justice is the top priority of the modern left. Thus, the continuous group politics and insistence on calling all opposition racist, sexist, bigot, and homophobic further alienates people and divides us among racial, class and gender lines. Where is the future of American politics headed? If we keep up these patterns and attitudes, the answer is nowhere near good. We must return to discussions about policies. Discussions about which policies will do the most good for the most people and have the most logic and evidence to support them. Virtue signaling as well as the unwillingness to look at history and data before supporting policies needs to stop. Wishful thinking, I know, but I believe we as Americans agree on far more than we admit to today. If we continue this worship of candidates and blind support of their policies, we are headed down a path of tyranny. TK McWhertor is a junior in economics.

News Briefs: Feb. 22 RAFAEL GARCIA THE COLLEGIAN

The Riley County Police Department began the annual High-Visibility Seat Belt Enforcement Campaign, in which law enforcement across Kansas, Missouri and Oklahoma will be “extra-vigilant when patrolling around schools” and will especially look for drivers who are not buckled in or are texting or speeding. In 2015, 13 Kansas high schoolers were killed in car accidents and in those accidents, nearly 40 percent of the victims were not properly buckled in, according to the Kansas Department of Transportation. A Missouri veteran was charged Tuesday with “attempting to provide material support to a foreign terrorist organization,” according to the

Kansas City Star. Undercover FBI agents arrested Robert Lorenzo Hester Jr., 25, of Columbia, Missouri, on Friday after a months-long investigation. The Kansas City, Missouri, U.S. Attorney’s office said Hester was planning a terror attack on Kansas City’s transportation system on Monday, which Hester said would be “a good day for Muslims worldwide.” The Department of Homeland Security clarified its new immigration enforcement procedures and policies under President Donald Trump’s administration Tuesday. According to the New York Times, immigration officials will now more aggressively prosecute and deport illegal immigrants who commit crimes in the U.S., regardless of the severity of the crimes. The department plans to hire 10,000 new immigration and customs

agents and build new detention facilities for the processing and deportation of illegal immigrants. Breitbart News editor Milo Yiannopoulos resigned from the news organization Tuesday after a video surfaced in which Yiannopoulos appears to dismiss pedophilia, according to the Washington Post. In the video, Yiannopoulos jokes about his own sexual encounters as a 13-year-old and suggested children as young as 13 could consent to sex. The video led publisher Simon & Schuster to cancel Yiannopoulos’s upcoming memoir, and the Conservative Political Action Conference cancelled an appearance by the former Breitbart News editor. Yiannopoulos issued an apology Tuesday on Facebook, in which he said he regrets his humor may have come across the wrong way.

A letter from Kansas State head football coach Bill Snyder As I stood outside the Kansas State Alumni Center Thursday night after participating in an event for the graduate school students and waiting for my ride, I was approached by a young lady (either a student or writer for one of the university departments, or both) who asked me if she could pray for me. She broke into tears and offered up a heartwarming, meaningful prayer for my recovery.

The point of this message, aside from how meaningful this young lady is to me and how much I appreciate her for her thoughtfulness, is once again proof of what I have said for the past three decades: Kansas State University is about people who care about people. We are a unique community where our concerns for others is genuine, unselfish and unified. Don’t ever allow that to change.

And thank you again young lady — I appreciate you so very much. Bill Snyder File Photo by Emily Starkey | THE COLLEGIAN

Kansas State women’s basketball team upsets No. 16 Sooners

SHELTON BURCH THE COLLEGIAN

The Kansas State Wildcats women’s basketball team upset the No. 16 Oklahoma Sooners Tuesday night in Bramlage Coliseum, beating the Sooners 79-71. It was the highest ranked team the Wild-

cats had beaten since Jan. 1, when they beat the West Virginia Mountaineers in Bramlage. The Sooners never led, but Tuesday night’s game, which seemed like a route early, ended up being a battle late. “I told (the team) before the game I think this will be one of the most fun games we’ve played all year,” Kansas State head coach Jeff Mittie said. “I think this will be as intense and big a battle, both teams playing for a lot. That’s what you ask for as coaches, is to have meaningful games being played late in February, early in March, and we’re in that stage right now.” Junior guard Karyla Middlebrook led the Wildcats with 19 points. Senior center Breanna Lewis also had a strong game, with 18 points, eight rebounds and a block. Senior guard Kindred Wesemann had 13 points, and freshman forward Eternati Willock had 10. It was the second time this season Middlebrook had a strong game against the Sooners, but she said it was nothing especially deliberate on her part. “It’s just kind of how it fell,” Middlebrook said. Intentional or not, Middlebrook’s effect on the game was noticeable, just as her 27

points were noticeable when the Wildcats lost in overtime to Oklahoma earlier this season. “I thought Kansas State played really really well,” Oklahoma head coach Sherri Coale said. “I thought they did a great job, and we continue to make Middlebrook an all-star. She’s had her two biggest games in conference play against us.” The game started with red-hot shooting by both teams. The Sooners shot 55 percent from the floor while the Wildcats shot 50 percent

from it. The Wildcats were also 3-5 in the first quarter beyond-the-arc, compared to the Sooner’s 0-1, and 5-5 from the free-throw line, while the Sooners didn’t end the quarter with a single attempt. Despite getting outshot in the first quarter from nearby the basket, the Wildcats were able to take a 25-12 lead into the second quarter, where the Wildcats continued their strong play. Both teams cooled down percentage-wise though, each shooting 40 percent in the second quarter.

The Wildcats took a 4125 into halftime thanks in part because they played a moreclean game. In the first half, the Wildcats only committed seven turnovers compared to the 10 by the Sooners. The Wildcats also made more of those turnovers. The Wildcats got 13 points off turnovers in the first half, while the Sooners only got four. Oklahoma out-blocked the K-State

6-0 in the half. It was a dominating first half for the Wildcats. The Sooners, however, refused to go quietly. Over the first 5:33 of the third, the Sooners outscored the Wildcats 12-6, including a 6-0 run that lasted a little over a minute and cut the Wildcat see page

Men’s basketball team looks to end home struggles SCOTT POPP

THE COLLEGIAN

Senior guard Carlbe Ervin II looks for an open teammate during the bastketball game against KU in Bramlage Coliseum on Feb. 6.

The last time the Kansas State men’s basketball team won inside the friendly confines of Bramlage Coliseum was Jan. 21 against the West Virginia Mountaineers. The Wildcats pulled the upset that day and looked to have momentum heading forward. Instead, in the meantime they have come to a 2-6 record and are squarely on the NCAA Tournament bubble. The Wildcats have a chance to end their three-game home losing streak tonight and solidify their NCAA Tournament chances when they host the Oklahoma State Cowboys in Bramlage. The game will also be a homecoming of sorts for Oklahoma State head coach Brad Underwood. Underwood played basketball at K-State from 19841986 and was an assistant coach for the Wildcats from 2006-2012 until current K-State head coach Bruce Weber took over. It will be Underwood’s first trip to K-State as an opposing head coach. K-State is coming off a late victory over Texas on the road. The Wildcats led for much of the game but found themselves tied with the Longhorns with around 20 seconds left and ball possession. With just seconds left, sophomore guard Kamau Stokes missed a runner in the lane, but senior forward D.J. Johnson was able to tip the miss in, sealing the late victory for K-State.

Freshman forward Xavier Sneed shoots during the basketball game between K-State and KU in Bramlage Coliseum on Feb. 6. The Wildcats will not want to leave the game to a last-second shot tonight against the red-hot Cowboys. The OSU Cowboys lost their first six Big 12 games of the season but have

since won eight of their last nine, including a win over then No. 7 West Virginia. The first matchup between the two teams was an up-tempo, high-scoring affair. K-State beat

the Cowboys 96-88 and is the highest-point total for the Cats all season. Sophomore guard Barry Brown came up with a teamhigh 22 points as well as four steals in a team-high 37 minutes in that same game. Brown went through a bit of a slump after the teams’ first encounter, but has picked it up in recent games and will be a big factor against the Cowboys tonight. On the other side, the Wildcats will try and deal with Oklahoma State sophomore guard Jawun Evans. Evans leads the Cowboys in scoring with 18.2 points per game; he’s also a menace on the defensive end with an average of two steals a game. Evans is coming off a big outing against Oklahoma in which he scored 27 points. The Wildcats and Cowboys will tip off at 8:05 p.m. in Bramlage Coliseum. The game can be seen on ESPNU.

Power rankings for Big 12 men’s basketball

K-State men's golf team ties for 7th place BRETT ENGLE

THE COLLEGIAN

The Kansas State men’s golf team started its 2017 spring season with a seventh-place finish at the Mobile Sports Authority Intercollegiate. After a 1-over-par round as a team on the first day, the Wildcats struggled on day two, ending the day and tourna-

ment at 6-over-par. “The conditions were pretty tough today with steady rain,” head coach Grant Robbins said to K-State Sports. “We just have to keep improving. Everyone has shown flashes of what we are capable of. We have to be more consistent and be able to put three solid rounds together.” Sophomore Roland Massimino and freshman Jacob Eklund led the way for the

Wildcats, both tying for 25th at 3-over-par. Eklund had a strong second round, shooting 4-under-par. “I was really proud of Jacob,” Robbins said. “He had a tough opening round (7-over par 79), but he really battled to shoot even par in the second round and came back to have the low round of the day.” Sophomore Jeremy Gandon wasn’t far behind, tying for 31st with a 4-over-par.

Redshirt freshman Ben Fernandez and freshman Levi Valadez tied for 44th with an 8-over-par. Louisville won the 15-field team tournament shooting 8-under-par. Individually, Alexander Herrmann of Georgia State and Wes Gosselin of Chattanooga tied for the win, shooting 6-under-par. Next up for the Wildcats is the Tiger Invitational in Opelika, Alabama, March 5-7.

THE COLLEGIAN

Note: These power rankings only reflect games played through Monday night. 1. KANSAS (24-3, 12-2) (LAST WEEK: 1) (NEXT: TCU) Another batch of power rankings, another week the Kansas Jayhawks sit at the No. 1 spot. Despite having doubts entering the season, KU has performed at a high level this year and will likely cruise to a championship with a current three-game lead.

2. WEST VIRGINIA (226, 10-5) (LAST WEEK: 3) (NEXT: AT TCU ON SATURDAY) After fighting KU hard and then winning the next two games, West Virginia finally jumped a spot in the power rankings. The Mountaineers will likely finish at No. 2 in the conference unless some upsets take place.

3. IOWA STATE (18-9, 10-5) (LAST WEEK: 4) (NEXT: BAYLOR ON SATURDAY)

Iowa State, winner of four straight games, is one of the hottest teams in the Big 12 and has jumped up to third place. The Cyclones are a very inconsistent team, but have made a charge to the top as of lately.

4. BAYLOR (22-5, 9-5) (LAST WEEK: 2) (NEXT: OKLAHOMA)

Baylor fought its way to be in contention for first place, but has now lost two games straight and is losing momentum. The Bears are solid, but the last two games have shown their flaws.

5. OKLAHOMA STATE (18-9, 7-7) (LAST WEEK: 5) (NEXT: AT KANSAS STATE)

7. TCU (17-10, 6-8) (LAST WEEK: 8) (NEXT: AT KANSAS)

TCU has lost three straight games, thus showing its earlier spark was likely due to competition. The Horned Frogs have some talent, but are probably still a year away from being really solid.

8. TEXAS TECH (17-11, 5-10) (LAST WEEK: 7) (NEXT: AT OKLAHOMA STATE ON SATURDAY) Following a big win over Baylor, the Red Raiders lost their next two games. Texas Tech has a very small bubble chance for the NCAA Tournament, but it is still possible with a few games left down the stretch.

9. TEXAS (10-18, 4-11) (LAST WEEK: 9) (NEXT: KANSAS ON SATURDAY)

The Longhorns battled K-State on Saturday but couldn’t finish the game, and then got beat

up by West Virginia on Monday. Texas has shown a few glimpses this season, but youth has hurt them this season.

10. OKLAHOMA (9-17, 3-11) (LAST WEEK: 10) (NEXT: AT BAYLOR)

Oklahoma picked up its first win since Jan. 18 after a win over Texas last week.

lead to 10. Over the first nearly-seven minutes of the third quarter, the Sooners outshot the Wildcats percentage wise 64 percent to 40 percent. They cut the lead to nine points on a 3-pointer with just a minute left in the third, and then down to six with less than 30 seconds left, outscoring the Wildcats 26-16 in the third quarter. The Wildcats led 57-51 at the end of it, but a scoring drought of nearly three minutes combined with a 6-0 run by the Sooners set

the stage for a compelling fourth. Junior guard Shaelyn Martin made layup to start the fourth but an OU 3-pointer cut the lead to five. Then, after three quarters of being held to just four points, Oklahoma redshirt senior Peyton Little made her first 3-pointer of the night to cut the Wildcat lead to two with 8:14 left. The lead got all the way down to a single point with 5:14 left. A 7-2 run after that free throw, however, allowed the Wildcats to hold off the

Sooners. Mittie said that was key against Oklahoma. “OU has been a team that has won every close game,” Mittie said. “They have won every close game. Our group played with a lot of confidence down the stretch to win that game, and that’s what I’m most pleased with.”

Rugby team shows high hopes despite early loss the season’s first half. Lowry said rugby is about playing together and trusting your teammates to have your back. “I think in order for us to be successful we have to be mentally and physically ready for what we’re approaching,” Lowry said. “And we have to be trusting in one another, and we have to be respectful, and our girls do a very good job of that and we need to continue.”

DALLAS CORONADO THE COLLEGIAN

Spring is close, the weather is warming up and the Kansas State women’s rugby team has kicked off the second half of their season. In its first half of the season, the rugby team went undefeated in all four league matches, making them a top-seed to make it to the USA Rugby National Tournament. Kaitlyn Lowry, senior in secondary education and president of the K-State women’s rugby team, said the team is ready for this half of the season. “I think we’re as ready as we can be,” Lowry said. “Every girl can tackle, every girl can ruck and every girl can pass the ball.”

TEAMING UP

Lowry said the family-like relationship the team has is going

to help them grow and succeed. “They are going to be incredible just because they are bonding so well and they’re lis-

tening,” she said. Brianna Leonard, sophomore in biochemistry and twoyear K-State rugby veteran, said

she is excited for the season to start again, but in order to be successful the team must stay humble even after going undefeated in

The team recruited players during their season’s intermission and lost some players who left K-State to study abroad. First-semester player Samantha Fox, graduate student in biology, is playing organized rugby for the first time in her life. Although Fox doesn’t have a rugby background, she said she has a history with team sports, especially soccer.

“I just wanted to try something new and stay active as a grad student,” Fox said. Before joining the team, Fox said she had played some rugby pickup games and was recruited by some of the women on the team. “They’ve taken me and the other rookies and just pushed us to be part of the team,” Fox said. Fox said she expects the team to carry the momentum over to the second half of the season. Although the team fell short to John Brown University in Arkansas last Saturday, Lowry, a four-year veteran, said she is looking forward to the development of the team as a whole this season. “For the spring season, as my last season with the K-State women’s rugby team, I’m truly looking forward to seeing the growth and potential that we’re going to see this semester,” Lowry said.
