L.A. Times editor kicks off ‘How I Landed My Job’ speaker series GARRHETT HURST THE COLLEGIAN
Students piled into Kedzie Hall Monday to hear Scott Kraft, notable Kansas State alum and deputy managing editor for the L.A. Times, begin the “How I Landed My Job” speaker series. Kraft’s speech gave students an idea of how he started his career and gained experience while at K-State. He also shared wisdom with students to help advance their journalistic careers. Kraft is a journalist who spent time working with the Associated Press before spending over 30 years with the L.A.
Times, serving in a wide range of roles. He had a passion for journalism from a young age and was able to advance his career through practical experience. Kraft took advantage of the opportunities K-State offered and was the editor-in-chief for the Collegian. Kraft said the early exposure to a newsroom in college was incredibly advantageous. In addition to writing for the Collegian, he also sought out other ways to satisfy his journalistic thirst. “Internships, I found invaluable,” Kraft said. In addition to detailing his start and touching on some of the highlights of his career, Kraft
also gave practical advice to the students filling Kedzie 105. “Journalism is the kind of profession where you are learning all the time,” Kraft said. “As a reporter, your whole life is going to be learning.” Editing was also a focal point of the speech. “The best writers I’ve ever known are great re-writers of their own stuff,” Kraft said. Susan Edgerley, JMC professional-in-residence and former metro and assistant managing editor at The New York Times, is in charge of facilitating the “How I Landed My Job” speaker series. Edgerley described the mission behind the series as showing students that
a K-State journalism and mass communications degree can effectively prepare students for the workforce, allowing them to have a highly successful and exciting career. Anna Siggers, junior in public relations, said she enjoyed hearing the experience Kraft had from graduating to climbing the ranks in the professional world. “Every day is a new experience, and you’re constantly learning after so many years,” Siggers said. The “How I Got My Job” speaker series will continue this fall with alumni Pete Souza, former White House photographer, and Carrie Henderson, producer for NBC.

Trump’s remarks on Kansas gubernatorial candidate visits students NFL protests prompt student responses RACHEL HOGAN THE COLLEGIAN
MADISON OBERMEYER THE COLLEGIAN
More than one year after former San Francisco 49ers quarterback Colin Kaepernick kneeled during the national anthem in silent protest, a surge of professional athletes took a knee before standing and locking arms during the “The Star-Spangled Banner” on Sunday. President Trump called for NFL players who have participated in the ‘take a knee’ protest to be fired during a rally for Alabama Republican Senate candidate Luther Strange on Friday. According to an article by CNN, he told NFL owners to respond to players who kneeled by saying, “Get that son of a b**** off the field right now, he’s fired. He’s fired!” Trump’s latest speech is just following in his “political custom,” Kevin Escobar, junior in civil engineering, said. “Trump went out of
line,” Escobar said, “but at the same time, I don’t think that Trump has ever presented himself as the most united person with everyone in America. He takes a pretty far stance on one side of every issue, and it doesn’t leave a lot of room for discussion.” Kara Bamberger, sophomore in biology, said simply stating support for an issue is not disrespectful at all. “I think Trump’s response was really insensitive,” Bamberger said. “That protest is not something that should cost people their jobs just because Trump has a different opinion. It just seems very childish and unprofessional.” Konnor Cook, senior in social sciences and former K-State football team member, said those participating in the ‘take a knee’ protests probably do not truly understand what the flag stands for.

Mark Hutton, republican candidate for governor of Kansas and former businessman from Wichita, held a meet and greet with the College Republicans at Kansas State in Kite’s Bar and Grill Tuesday evening. The event was closed to the public. Steven Johnson, 1988 K-State graduate and former student body president, was present to support Hutton and his vision as the campaign prepared to tour the state following the announcement of Hutton’s candidacy Monday. “I think bringing the message across campus will be a first step, and a big step, in bringing his message across the state,” Johnson said. Hutton, founder of Hutton Construction, served two terms in the Kansas House of Representatives and worked on the appropriations, commerce and taxation committees, where he worked with Johnson, before choosing to not to seek re-election to the House last year. “I feel like I can pull those two experiences together to be a better governor for Kansas
and to build a better Kansas,” Hutton said. Hutton fielded questions from club members of the College Republicans, mostly concerning education and budget reform. Hutton’s goal for higher education is to better prepare students for the workforce. “We have a real challenge in Kansas right now in that our higher education institutions aren’t nimble enough to really be addressing the needs of industry,” Hutton said. “When you go to school here, you’re not necessarily learning the things that we need in industry.” Hutton believes incorporating the needs of business into higher education will decrease tuition costs, as industry businesses will support institutions that properly prepare future employees. Another goal of Hutton’s is to reform budget analysis. “There’s a lot of areas that Kansas can improve in, and a lot of them circle back to one specific area, and that is fiscal responsibility,” Hutton said. If elected, he will aim to make state budgeting more efficient and less secretive through performance-based budget analysis, which evaluates the
principles of every agency in the state and compares money spent to the value that spending returns. This prioritizes the areas the state puts its money. Some members of the College Republicans at K-State are looking forward to seeing someone new in the governor’s office, citing some disappointment in Governor Brownback. “I think there are a lot of things that Governor Brownback could have done much better,” Evan Steckler, senior in architectural engineering
and events coordinator for the College Republicans, said. While Steckler said he believes Brownback’s tenure has its pitfalls, both he and Taylor Latham, senior in financial management and president of the College Republicans, said they are looking for a new name in office. “I would like to see someone who is humble, who is very strongly rooted in their principles and who is willing to work with our state legislature on issues,” Latham said.

Efforts to restore the Cardwell Observatory underway
The observatory in room 501 of Cardwell Hall at Kansas State campus in Manhattan, Kan. on Sept. 15, 2017.
LOGAN WASSALL THE COLLEGIAN
Many students know of the observatory on top of Cardwell, but not many know that it has not been used for over 20 years. However, that tally will soon come to a halt. Brett DePaola, head of the physics department, said the department hopes to “have everything fixed up in the coming year.” Bharat Ratra, distinguished professor of physics,
said the observatory was not running well when he started teaching at Kansas State 20 years ago. “I work on cosmology,” Ratra said. “The way you study this is to use a bunch of different telescopes. … I thought there would be some interest here in trying to get this up and running.” “Gravel from the roof was jammed into the dome door, making it completely impossible to close the dome,” DePaola said. “Because the
observatory was essentially unused at that time, nobody noticed that rain was getting in and causing damage. When we did notice, we dismantled the telescope and removed other sensitive equipment from the observatory. We eventually figured out that the dome was not damaged, and we cleared out the gravel. “Nowadays, all reasonable astronomy is done on mountaintops,” DePaola continued. “Nobody does real astronomy down in [the] atmosphere.
You could get beautiful sky out near Tuttle Creek, but nothing like you’d get on a mountaintop because you still have all that atmosphere above you.” DePaola said the observatory could be used for parties and K-State outreach. “We’re going to put money into refurbishing, and the idea will be to — first of all, physics club can have just a ball with it.” DePaola said. “We’re thinking they can have little star parties where they can invite a limited number
Logan Wassall | COLLEGIAN MEDIA GROUP
of people and just get people’s awareness out. We plan to use it for outreach ... for K-State folks and local folks when there is something interesting going on.” Not only could fixing the observatory be great for the physics department at K-State, but also for the university as a whole. “I do think that it could be a tool for research by the professors here,” Jake Anderson, a sophomore in secondary education, said.
“It’s good for our students in the physics department because they get to play with these cool toys, they get to host all these outreach things and they’re very excited about it,” DePaola said. “But it’s also good for the university because it gets students from all over the state onto campus. Maybe they’d major in physics, but most likely not, but while they’re here for a planetarium show, they’ll see the rest of the campus and maybe get excited about coming here.”

Cast, crew of 'Becky Shaw' to take stage Thursday
Katelin Woods | COLLEGIAN MEDIA GROUP
The Purple Masque is set to host a performance of the play “Becky Shaw” in Manhattan, Kan.
KATELIN WOODS THE COLLEGIAN
What is your worst first date story? Maybe they talked about their ex all night, only made conversation with the phone sitting in their lap or they showed no interest whatsoever. All of those situations are horrific, yes, but, imagine ending your night in a police
station. That is exactly what happens to Max and Becky, characters in the play “Becky Shaw,” which is to be performed at Kansas State at the Purple Masque Theatre from Sept. 28 to Oct. 1. The collateral damage that trails this incident in the play manifests and plagues the characters in the form of manipulation, dark com-
edy, toxic exchanges and the derailing of their illusion of morality. “Although the events that take place are not as common, there will be something that each and every audience member can take home with them,” Will Averna, junior in technical theatre and scenic designer of “Becky Shaw,” said. “Anybody who comes to
this play will connect with one part of it and have questions about the other,” Jonah Ericson, senior in theatre and English literature and director of the play, said. “And I’m more interested in the questions.” Theatre is a form of entertainment, but it can also double as a platform for social justice. This play touches on social class dynamics, racism and feminism in subtle but impactful ways. “I could have a whole conversation about one line of this play,” Ericson said. “I think this play really speaks to the Manhattan community as a whole. All the characters are in some kind of limbo and making big decisions. Anyone in a university can especially relate to that.” Cole Rockhold, sophomore in theatre and actor in “Becky Shaw,” said it’s a lot about teaching the value of people. “There’s a lot of really deep lines, and every night we rehearse I find something new,” Rockhold said. “I think something it specifically tackles is sexism. My character, Max, at one point even says, that ‘woman is not my equal.’” About a month into the semester, most students are preparing for their first or

“They are basically disrespecting those who fight every day in the armed forces and those who have given their lives to defend those kneeling to have the right to do so,” Cook said. “I don’t respect the idea of people kneeling during the national
anthem to protest. I’m all for protest and freedom of speech, but protesting should not be done during the anthem.” There is a time and a place to take a stand, and NFL games aren’t the best place, Cook said. “I think that they are doing it at the wrong venue,” Cook said. “People don’t tune into

sports to view politics’ issues. They do it to take their mind off the worries of the world for a while.” Escobar said he believes the show of solidarity by players and team owners is a great use of the platform available to them. “NFL games are some of
the biggest watch events on Sundays, so if anyone is going to make a change, it’s famous people who are watched and admired by fans,” Escobar said. Yahoo Sports dubbed the wave of declaration “Protest Sunday,” stating the politics overshadowed the games themselves.
second test in a class. The all-student cast and crew of “Becky Shaw” took on the unthinkable task of putting on a show within less than a month of rehearsal. Averna explained how difficult it is to manage his commitment to theatre and school. “Being a student in a production is like having two fulltime jobs, but I wouldn’t have it any other way,” Averna said. The five actors involved in this production are all undergraduates, two of whom are new to the K-State stage. Breana Tiffany, freshman in theatre and actress in “Becky Shaw,” reflected on what it is like being in her first production at a collegiate level. “It’s really nice having my first show at K-State being a small cast so I get to know everyone really well rather than just knowing their name,” Tiffany said. Tiffany also shared a way she gets into her character. “Throughout the play, Susana changes dramatically,” Tiffany said. “I get into the different aspects of her by seeing her as different animals … at the beginning I think of Eeyore or those monkeys with
big eyes. At the end you see her grow into a really strong person, so I think of a rhino.” Tiffany is not the only one who has an interesting way to get into character. Rockhold said he does pushups before rehearsal to get in tune with his role. “One thing I did before rehearsal that I’m going to do a lot more of is that I did a lot of pushups and sit-ups,” Rockhold said. “It really helps me get into the mindset of Max and the physicality of Max, as well.” Christine Pascoe, sophomore in mass communications and theatre and actress in “Becky Shaw,” said, “I think people should come see this show because it’s so different from any other. The characters have so much background and emotion underneath them. It’s funny, it’s intense, it’s dramatic. There’s something about it that everyone will love.” “Becky Shaw” is to open this Thursday and will continue through Oct. 1. The showings are at 7:30 p.m. each night, with the exception of the last performance, which is at 2:30 p.m. For more information, visit www.k-state.edu/theatre/.

Four NCAA assistant coaches arrested by FBI for corruption
Women's tennis starts season with matches in Missouri, Oklahoma

THE COLLEGIAN
The FBI arrested four assistant coaches from major college basketball programs Tuesday morning on charges of corruption. Also arrested were a former NCAA official and two Adidas executives. The coaches arrested include: Auburn assistant coach Chuck Person, Oklahoma State assistant coach Lamont Evans, University of Arizona assistant coach Emmanuel Richardson and University of Southern California assistant coach Tony Bland. James Gatto, an Adidas marketing executive, is being charged in relation to allegedly bribing high school basketball players to attend Adidas-sponsored schools and then sign with Adidas upon turning professional. Also involved in this scheme were Merl Code, another Adidas employee, Christian Dawkins and Munish Sood, sports agents, and Jonathan Augustine, an Amateur Athletic Union coach. The court documents cite two universities; the first is a major public research university in Kentucky. It has about 22,640 students according to the docu-
ments. They are also sponsored by Adidas. The University of Louisville fits this description. The second university is described as a major public research university in Florida. The documents say this school has approximately 16,000 students. This school is sponsored by Adidas as well. The University of Miami fits this description. Gatto allegedly helped funnel $100,000 from Adidas to a player in return for that player signing with the major public research university in Kentucky. That player would also retain Dawkins’ services when he turned professional. Gatto allegedly did the same for another athlete attending the university in Florida for was $150,000. Dawkins and Sood allegedly bribed Evans with at least $22,000 to use his influence on players who were on his team to encourage them to sign with Dawkins. The court documents indicate this relationship began while Evans was at South Carolina and continued when he moved to Oklahoma State. Evans is a K-State alum and former assistant coach at K-State under head coach Frank Martin. Richardson and Bland are
also implicated in Evans’ case. Dawkins and Sood allegedly bribed each of them to encourage their players at Arizona and Southern California, respectively, to sign with Dawkins’ and Sood’s sports management agency. The name of the agency is not mentioned in the documents. Bland allegedly also helped facilitate meetings between Dawkins, Sood and unnamed players’ families. The goals of these meetings were to “[describe] the services [Sood] offered to his athlete clients.” Dawkins and Sood would also allegedly pay the athletes or their families. Rashan Michel, owner of a men’s clothing company, is implicated in the documents surrounding Person. Michel allegedly loaned $60,000 to Person, in return he would “give us two or three kids that’s all coming out of his program.” The documents allege that Michel offered Person $10,000$15,000 per athlete that Person “delivered.” This agreement was marked down on a promissory note and Person was allegedly paid $10,000 for signing it. The court documents can be found on the US Attorney’s office for Southern New York’s website.

The Kansas State women’s tennis team took big wins in Columbia, Missouri, and Stillwater, Oklahoma, during over the last week. Sophomore Ines Mesquita and freshman Anna Turco took the co-championship at the Mizzou Invitational in Columbia on Saturday. “I was not sure what to expect going into this weekend, with not having much time to practice,” head coach Danielle Steinberg said to K-State Sports. “We definitely exceeded expectations on all levels.” Mesquita defeated Mizzou freshman Marta Oliveira in two of three sets to improve her career singles record to 14-10 and claim her spot as co-champion. Turco won in straight sets against Mizzou sophomore Serena Nash to improve to 3-0 with K-State and take her spot with Mesquita as co-champion. In Stillwater, freshman Maria Linares lost in the first round of the qualifying draw in three sets to Alona Bond-

What to watch in college football: Week Five BRETT ENGLE
THE COLLEGIAN
Get ready, boys and girls — we have great college football matchups on not one, but two days this week.
NO. 5 USC VS. NO. 16 WASHINGTON STATE
USC has lived up to its expectation this year, as it has started out 4-0. The Trojans did have a scare though, as they beat the Texas Longhorns 27-24 in two overtimes just two weeks ago. Sophomore quarterback Sam Darnold will be key if USC wants to walk away with
a victory. Darnold has thrown for 1,225 yards to go along with nine touchdown passes. He will have to be smart though, as Darnold has already thrown seven interceptions on the young season. Washington State is also 4-0 on the year, and its offense is proving that it is hard to stop. The Cougars are averaging just about 44 points per game so far. The leader behind the Cougars’ explosive offense is senior quarterback Luke Falk. Falk is completing just shy of 77 percent of his passes this year. He has also proven to find the end zone many times, as he has thrown 14 scores to just one in-
terception. The Pac-12 matchup will kick off Friday at 9:30 p.m. on ESPN.
NO. 24 MISSISSIPPI STATE VS. NO. 13 AUBURN
Mississippi State was off to a tremendous start to the year. The team is now 3-1 with a win over No. 12 LSU and a blowout last week at No. 11 Georgia 313. Junior quarterback Nick Fitzgerald will be a factor if the Bulldogs come out with the win. Fitzgerald has thrown for seven touchdowns this year but has done a lot of damage
on the ground. He has ran for 287 yards and a team-high five touchdowns. Auburn is very close to being 4-0 this year, but couldn’t get the job done at then No. 3 Clemson in week two, falling to the Tigers 14-6. Junior running back Kerryon Johnson has been a beast for the Tiger rushing attack this year. He only has 184 rushing yards this year, but has over half of the team’s rushing touchdowns with six.

Letter to the editor: K-State lacks sportsmanship, respect for rivals For decades, college sporting events have been filled with legendary feats of athleticism, determination, success, failure and emotion. Many of these feats were influenced by the rivalries that formed between this country's universities. Sportsmanship comes into the spotlight frequently during competitions with a rival school or team. During my lifetime, I have personally been to many games between rivals: the Kansas City Royals versus the St. Louis Cardinals, the University of Arkansas versus Louisiana State University and the one we all know, Kansas State versus the University of Kansas, the "Sunflower Showdown."
Unfortunately, only one of these listed teams is known for shouting obscenities at its rival on a regular basis, even when they aren't playing said rival. Yeah, that's right. That's us. The K-State versus KU rivalry. I lived in Fayetteville, Arkansas, for 15 years, where I spent most of my childhood. It's where my father, Tim de Noble, dean of architecture, planning and design at K-State, spent the majority of his time as a practicing architect and college professor. During those 15 years, I witnessed the fierce rivalry between Arkansas and LSU, both in person and on television. But not once did I ever experience the Arkansas student
body shouting "F*** LSU." Sure, they talked trash before the games. I remember a story my father told me of when he went to a football game at War Memorial Stadium in Little Rock, Arkansas, a "neutral location" between the two schools. An LSU fan called him "tiger bait." But that was, and still is, a rivalry of respect, pre-game trash talk aside. During and after every game, the players and fans of both institutions treat each other with a level of respect that I have never experienced in any other college sporting event. I saw LSU fans cheering for Arkansas at their bowl games against K-State, the University of Oregon, the
University of Wisconsin and Ohio State, solely because each team had a level of human decency and respect for each other. I remember having LSU fans invite my parents and I into their tailgates after games for bratwursts, hot dogs and, for my parents, beer. For some reason, I don't see that at K-State. It's perplexing because we are a university that holds the virtues of family, class and respect as pillars of our institution. I've lived in Manhattan since moving here in the late summer of 2009, shortly after my father started his deanship. I went to many K-State home football games and home basketball games back then, and not one time do I remember
the student section chanting at KU during these games. But now at every K-State sporting event, I watch in disdain as my fellow students chant obscenities like "F*** KU" to the beat of some of our most revered songs, and in the process we disrespect these songs that we value so much. When did we start saying these things? I witnessed this disrespect at the first game of the season against the University of Central Arkansas. My middle brother, Henry de Noble, is a student there and starting pitcher for the UCA Bears. I stood in the K-State student section embarrassed as my classmates shouted at a team that wasn't affiliated with KU
or K-State at all. I witnessed us booing the visiting UCA football team, whose players probably have never heard of either institution. Don't our visiting teams deserve more than that? Furthermore, do we really think Bill Snyder, one of the most successful football coaches and greatest role models for class and sportsmanship, approves of having the "F*** KU" chant spoken at his stadium? And yes, it is his. Let's show Snyder some respect. After all, he's been here longer than any of us.

The American Red Cross is currently hosting its semesterly blood drive in various locations around the Kansas State campus from Sept. 25 – 28. Jan Hale, Red Cross communications manager for the central plains region, said the K-State Blood Drive received 244 pints of blood in the first two days. However, they are still 70 pints behind expectations at this time. The total goal for the four-day event is 550 pints from students, staff and faculty. The K-State Blood Drive is incentivizing donations by giving all donators a coupon for a free haircut from Sport Clips. The Red Cross is re-
