Kiehl-Pitts campaign wins election for K-State student body president

Alex Todd | COLLEGIAN MEDIA GROUP

Jordan Kiehl and Lacy Pitts celebrate their election as the 2018-2019 Kansas State student body president and vice president at Kite’s Bar and Grill on Friday.

RACHEL HOGAN ANNA CHRISTIANSON THE COLLEGIAN

Friends, supporters and volunteers from the Kiehl-Pitts campaign for student body president and vice president gathered at Kite’s Bar and Grill in Aggieville to await election results Friday evening. The polls closed at 6 p.m., and the results were announced over the radio shortly after. Jordan Kiehl, Student Governing Association chief of staff and junior in industrial engineering, and Lacy Pitts, student senator and junior in agricultural economics, won with 57.35 percent of the vote, receiving 1,994 votes. Their opponents, Paloma Roman and Michael Leverett, trailed behind with 1,483 votes.

“We are honestly so overwhelmed and excited, and felt so supported and loved throughout this campaign,” Kiehl said. “We’re thrilled with the results. It’s been a long process, but definitely one that is worth it. I’m just so thrilled and excited. No matter how the results came out, we were ready to work on our platform. It’s exciting that they went in our favor.” Just after 6 p.m. on Friday, Roman, senior in athletic training and student body president hopeful, learned of her loss to the opposing Kiehl-Pitts campaign. After a few moments of silence, Roman and Leverett addressed the crowd of campaign members and friends, thanking and encouraging them. “It was really never about us. Never,” Leverett said. “It was about all the 1,400 peo-

ple who supported us. There’s so much that needs to change on this campus, and it shows through all the work that you put in for us. With us.” Despite losing the presidential election, Roman said she and her campaign members will remain a force for change in SGA. Fifteen members of the Roman-Leverett campaign, including Roman and Leverett themselves, were voted into the student senate earlier this week during the general elections. The results of the presidential election followed a turbulent week for the Roman-Leverett campaign. They were disqualified and removed from the ballot by the elections commissioner on Monday before being reinstated Tuesday morning following an appeal to the Student Tribunal. Roman said the disqualification and the ensuing appeal was done with “awful timing.” Kiehl said her first order of business is putting together a cabinet and getting organized for next year. “We’re going to soak up these next couple days and then hit the ground running getting started on our platform for K-State students,” said Kiehl. As for their goals next year, Pitts said, “We want to make sure we’re hearing all students’ voices and that all students are getting the input that they deserve to have in changing K-State and making it a better place for years to come.” Kiehl will replace Jack Ayres as Kansas State’s next student body president. 91.9 KSDB FM said in its announcement of the election results that Kiehl and Pitts are the first female duo to win the SGA presidential election at K-State. Kaylie McLaughlin, assistant news editor, contributed to this report.

One to remember: Fake Patty’s Day participants reflect on the holiday DEANNA SCHEFFLER THE COLLEGIAN

For the 11th year in a row, hordes of students, out-oftowners and Manhattan locals clogged the streets surrounding Aggieville to take part in Fake Patty’s Day festivities Saturday. Because Saint Patrick’s Day usually occurs over Kansas State’s spring break, the Saturday of the week before is traditionally designated as an evening dedicated to bar-hopping, house parties and fraternity bashes. Those who wish to escape the alcohol-saturated holiday may choose to

curl up at home and lock their doors for good measure. John Blackwell, manager at Kite’s Bar and Grill, worked from 7 a.m. Saturday to 3 a.m. Sunday. Kite’s charged $10 for wristbands providing all-day access, while competing bars like Johnny Kaw’s charged $20. Blackwell said wristband prices have driven consumers away from Aggieville. “Since the beginning of the wrist bands, it’s been hard for others to enjoy the ‘Ville, driving them to local house parties,” Blackwell said. Non-locals also visited to celebrate the fake holiday. Ellis Newkirk, political science major and defensive tackle

at Hardin-Simmons University, flew up to Kansas from Abilene, Texas. Newkirk said he had never heard of Fake Patty’s Day until a friend who attends K-State invited him to visit for the occasion. Newkirk said the townwide celebration of Fake Patty’s Day was a new experience compared to life at Hardin-Simmons, a private Baptist college. “Fake Patty’s Day was a great experience,” Newkirk said. “HSU doesn’t have such a large Greek life as Kansas State. I couldn’t believe how big of a deal it was, from the shirts to the number of people.” While some spent the day mingling in yards or in the streets, Kyria Boman, sophomore in advertising, said she spent her day catching up with and helping her friends. “This year, I didn’t have the desire to go out,” Boman said. “I told friends that I would be there if they needed a designated driver. I spent a lot of my day making sure they were safe and having fun.” On the Sunday following Fake Patty’s Day, the HandsOn volunteer group coordinated a clean-up effort to clear the neighborhoods surrounding Aggieville.

Dakota and Michigan. “This was my second year helping, but I found it amazing that other college students

were willing to spend their spring break going around and helping others,” AcreGross said.

Hormel Foods donates food, money to Cats’ Cupboard pantry ANNA CHRISTIANSON THE COLLEGIAN

Last fall, a representative from Hormel Foods came to Kansas State to meet with Mitzi Richards, senior director of corporate and foundation relations at the KSU Foundation. As they were walking across campus, they walked by a message written in sidewalk chalk promoting the new university food pantry, Cats'

Cupboard. The message piqued the representative's interest and ultimately lead to a multi-year arrangement for Hormel to provide support to Cats' Cupboard. Richards and the KSU Foundation helped coordinate Hormel's donation, which totaled over 1,000 pounds of food to Cats’ Cupboard. Donated items included chili, peanut butter, cans of Spam and protein bars. Hormel also gave $5,000 to the food

pantry and has committed to give $5,000 next year as well. Jennifer Dao, Hormel's supervisor of professional development, has worked at Hormel for eight years. She said Hormel is always looking for opportunities to help end hunger in communities.

“We thought it was a great opportunity to support K-State and the students,” Dao said. “As a food company, we are committed to helping with hunger-relief efforts.” The donation was a big help to Cats’ Cupboard, which depends strictly on charitable donations for its food and hy-

giene products. Cats’ Cupboard opened in September in response to students having difficulty affording food and personal hygiene products. Previously, there was a small food pantry at the Office of Student Life, but Cats’ Cupboard is a major expansion, now located in Fairchild Hall and serving both undergraduate and graduate students. Erin Bishop, full-time coordinator of Cats’ Cupboard, said she typically has between 60 and 75 students come in

every week. She said there are a fair number of regulars, but new faces come in often. Seventeen student volunteers and two part-time assistants help her. Maureen Graham, Cats’ Cupboard assistant and senior in dietetics, said it is rewarding to see students get the help they need. “Students seem appreciative, even if they are hesitant to come at first,” Graham said. While students do check in with their ID cards, all information at Cats’ Cupboard is con-

fidential. Cats’ Cupboard has a wide variety of non-perishable items available to students. Some of the most popular items from the Hormel donation were the more than 700 Muscle Milk protein bars, which didn’t last long on the shelves. Bishop said she is always in need of protein donations, as it is a great way to provide hunger relief for students on a tight food budget. In addition to protein bars, she said canned chicken and tuna are great

Mawien steps up versus KU, Wildcats will play in NCAA Tournament JARRETT WHITSON THE COLLEGIAN

The Kansas State men’s basketball team fell to the Kansas Jayhawks in the Big 12 Tournament semifinals, 83-67, after a series of unfortunate events left K-State in a bad position against its in-state rival. On Thursday night, rumors began to circulate that K-State’s star junior forward Dean Wade had suffered a foot injury and would not be playing against KU. On Friday morning, it started to look more like fact than fiction when he was listed as “doubtful.” By that afternoon, it was confirmed by head coach Bruce Weber that Wade would miss the game. The absence of Wade spelled trouble for the Wildcats on its own, but once the game began, it only got worse. Less than two minutes into the game, junior guard Barry Brown was hit in the eye on a drive to the basket. He immediately dropped to the floor and writhed in pain. He headed to the locker room and later returned to the bench. Ultimately, his day was over. ESPN’s Holly Rowe said Brown had “slight bleeding” in his eye, and Weber said Brown

could not count how many fingers his coach was holding up. Sure, KU was without forward Udoka Azubuike for the Big 12 Tournament. But his injury robbed the Jayhawks of their best post player, not one of their best overall players. Reserve big men Mitch Lightfoot and Silvio De Sousa stepped up when called upon and filled the gap decently. K-State had a decision to make with its top two scorers out. They could either accept defeat to a KU team that was still going strong, or play their hearts out. The Wildcats chose the latter. Despite being down by double digits multiple times, the Wildcats kept battling back into the game. They were never entirely out of the game until the final minute. While it hurts to lose to a rival for the third time in the same season, K-State will surely benefit moving forward from the number of quality minutes that bench players racked up. Junior guard Amaad Wainright and freshman guard Mike McGuirl far exceeded their season averages, registering 35 and 21 minutes, respectively. The two performed well on the floor, too. Wainright finished with nine points and five rebounds. At one point, he scored five consecutive

With great energy, K-State fans begin cheering on the mens basketball team against KU in Bramlage Coliseum on Jan. 29, 2018. The Jayhawks took the win over the Wildcats with a final score of 70-56. points to narrow the gap to eight points early in the second half. McGuirl did not produce outstanding numbers by any means, but he finished with four points, four rebounds and four assists. He converted an and-one around the 12-minute mark of the second half to draw K-State within six points of the Jayhawks. Sophomore forward Xavier Sneed found a positive in the fact that bench players getting solid minutes could carry over into the NCAA Tournament. K-State was recently confirmed to be

facing the Creighton Bluejays in round one. Sneed said without two of their all-conference players, the Wildcats showed they have a lot of good rotations and “got a lot of fight in those guys and hope we can do some damage in the tournament.” Weber was also glad that the reserves got some more playing time. “It was a great opportunity for our guys to learn and keep growing as a team, and hopefully we got some good things left to

get everyone healthy and play at a high level next week,” Weber said. Not only did players like Wainright and McGuirl get more playing time than usual, some of K-State’s normal contributors stepped up as well. Sneed, along with freshman guard Cartier Diarra, made some big plays. Neither posted magnificent numbers, but if you watched the game, you would know they were key players for the Wildcats. Diarra finished with nine points and four assists. He also made some great drives to the basket, finishing with layups to keep K-State in the game. Midway through the second half, Diarra threw a great alley-oop pass to Sneed that fired up the K-State crowd and narrowed the KU lead to a manageable margin. Sneed himself tallied 12 points, six rebounds and five assists. His numbers do not pop off the page either, but like Diarra, he made some momentum-changing plays. However, the biggest and most obvious Wildcat that stepped up Friday night was sophomore forward Makol Mawien. Mawien finished the game with a career-high 29 points, along with two blocks. Time and

time again, he posted up and finished passes with layups and hook shots. It is easy to see that Mawien’s confidence has soared as of late. He has registered 14 points, 16 points and now 29 points in the last three games. Sneed applauded the play of his teammate. “Knowing Udoka was out before [the game], attacking on the inside was a big thing for us, and Mak showed up today, and big kudos to him,” Sneed said. Mawien’s success Friday is partially attributed to the absence of Wade and Brown, but it is still a sign of great things to come. When asked if he expected to have Brown and Wade for the tournament, Weber answered positively. “I would say yes right now,” Weber said. “I hope we can get them both back, but we showed without them we are still a pretty good ball club.” If Wade and Brown are healthy later this week for the NCAA Tournament and Mawien continues to play aggressively, good things could be in store for K-State. The K-State and Creighton matchup will tip off on Friday in Charlotte, North Carolina, at 5:50 p.m. inside the Spectrum Center.

Smith and Schultz break records at NCAA Indoor Championships ADAM MEYER

THE COLLEGIAN

Both sophomore Nina Schultz and senior Terrell Smith had impressive performances this weekend while representing the Kansas State track and field team at the NCAA Indoor Championships in College Station, Texas. Both Schultz and Smith set new records for the K-State track and field program, and both athletes also earned All-American honors as K-State concluded its indoor season. In the women’s pentathlon,

Schultz first competed in the 60-meter hurdles. She finished third overall with a time of 8.29 seconds. Schultz sat in third place with 1,064 points. In the next event of the pentathlon, the high jump, Schultz won with a jump of 1.84 meters. Schultz jumped from third to second in the standings as her score went up to 2,093 points. In the women’s shot put portion of the pentathlon, Schultz got 11th with a throw of 11.53 meters and a total score of 2,723. The pentathlon continued in the next event, the long jump. Schultz began the long jump in

first place with a jump of 6.21 meters. However, she then ended the long jump competition in second place after she underperformed on her final attempt. Schultz was then in second place in the women’s pentathlon with a total score of 3,638 points. In the final event of the pentathlon, Schultz made one last push for first place with a strong performance in the 800-meter run. Although she only got eighth in this event, she set her own personal record, running a 2:19.58. Schultz finished second overall with 4,467 points. She now holds the school record for

the most points by a pentathlete in K-State program history. With her second-place finish, Schultz earned her third firstteam All-America honors in her career. Schultz also improved on her performance last year at the NCAA Indoor Championships, where she finished third with a score of 4,340. “It was cool knowing that I am becoming part of K-State history, and hopefully I can build on that because I still have two more years,” Schultz said to K-State Sports. “Being out here again was just a good experience.” On the men’s side of things, Smith broke the school

record in the men’s 200-meter run for the third time this season with a time of 20.81 seconds. It was his first appearance at the NCAA Indoor Championships, and he finished ninth overall to receive second-team All-American honors. “I was feeling good when I was running; it was a phenomenal run,” Smith said to K-State Sports. “I had family come out. I had friends in the stands, so there is nothing better I can ask for.” Smith set multiple school records in his performance. With his ninth-place performance, he is the first K-State Indoor All-American in the

200 meters since Carlos Rodriguez finished 14th in 2013. Smith now holds both the indoor and outdoor school records in a 200-meter run for K-State and has made himself one of the best sprinters in K-State history. To cap off the day for K-State at the NCAA Indoor Championships, Schultz recorded a jump of 6.03 meters on her second attempt in the women’s long jump finals. She placed 11th overall. K-State track and field will now head into the outdoor season, which begins March 23 and 24 at the Roadrunner Invitational in San Antonio.

K-State baseball wins tie-breaking game, takes series over Mercer JULIA JORNS

THE COLLEGIAN

The Kansas State baseball team played Mercer this past

weekend, winning game one and the tie-breaking game three in the series to improve their overall record to 10-5. Friday night was the first meeting between the two teams,

and K-State blew past Mercer with 12 runs on 10 hits. The Wildcat offense gave sophomore starting pitcher Kasey Ford plenty of support. Ford is now 3-0 after going

seven innings, while giving up just three runs on eight hits and two walks. He struck out a career-high 10 batters in this outing and held Mercer’s offense scoreless through the first five innings.

K-State scored two runs through the first five innings against Mercer. The Wildcats were able to load the bases for junior Drew Mount, who hit a grand slam to

give K-State an 8-0 lead.

EMILY HILDERHOF THE COLLEGIAN

While hundreds took to the streets of Aggieville on Saturday for Fake Patty’s Day, others gathered in the Kansas State Student Union to enjoy another installment of the Little Apple Comic Expo. The comic book expo began at 10 a.m. and featured multiple panels with comic book creators, costume competitions and merchandise vendors. Joshua Smith, co-creator of LACE, said he and his wife started the expo to make a home for comic books in central Kansas. “My wife and I were very involved in the comic book scene,” Smith said. “We go to all the shows from Planet Comic Con in Kansas City to Smallville [in Hutchinson], but there is nothing here in the middle.” Smith said he held the expo on the same day as Fake Patty’s Day to provide a more family-oriented alternative. “This year, we intentional-

ly came on Fake Patty’s Day,” Smith said. “We are trying to run as counter-programming. There’s students, there’s military, there’s families, so I want people dressed up and having a good time.” Ann Warren, K-State alumna, calligrapher and henna artist, said she has attended the expo since its beginning. “I have been coming here since the expo opened, and I like these events because they challenge me,” Warren said. “I love to break out of the traditional way of doing things.” Alex Walker and Kiedis Springer, Manhattan locals, attended the event. They said they “just really love comic books” and they started attending about two years ago. Special guests at this comic expo included B. Clay Moore, comic book writer, and comic book artists Megan Levens and Andy Kuhn. Some of the exhibitors included TOPCON, Red Wagon Comics and Aunt Nancy’s Face Art.
