Wildcats prepare to face 0-4 Baylor Bears at home Saturday DEAUNDRA ALLEN THE COLLEGIAN
The Kansas State football team will host the Baylor Bears at home in Bill Snyder Family Stadium on Saturday. The Wildcats currently have a 2-1 record going into their fourth game of the season. Last week, Baylor came close to beating the University of Oklahoma Sooners, a team currently ranked third in the country. The Bears finished the game 49-41, with Oklahoma narrowly taking the victory. Baylor is currently 0-4 this season.
During the Wildcats’ weekly press conference on Tuesday, head coach Bill Snyder talked about the latest practice sessions and how the players have been working together. “In yesterday’s practice, collectively, it was probably the most spirited that we have been throughout the course of the year,” Snyder said. “I would like to think that if you love and care about the game, that you will get excited about playing. Getting into conference play brought some enthusiasm, as did getting off of a bye week.” Coming back from their weekend off, the Wildcats have
had plenty of time to prepare for their meeting with the Bears.

Know your opponent: Here is what to expect from Baylor’s team
File photo by Nathan Jones | COLLEGIAN MEDIA GROUP
The crowd fills the bowl during the K-State football game against Oklahoma State in Bill Snyder Family Stadium on Nov. 5, 2016.
NATHAN ENSERRO THE COLLEGIAN
Baylor surprised a lot of people when they gave The Associated Press’s number three, the University of Oklahoma, quite a scare last weekend in Waco, Texas. This is, after all, a team that lost to Liberty to start the season. So what can K-State fans expect to see out of Baylor at this weekend’s game? The Baylor Bears are a football team still recovering from allegations that their athletic department was covering up rape allegations. Even after former head coach Art Briles and former athletics director Ian McCaw were fired, the damages from the scandal are still being felt. Current head coach Matt Rhule is in his first year at Baylor after leading Temple to an American Athletic Conference Championship in 2016. Rhule’s Baylor team is off to a 0-4 start this season. K-State fans can expect Rhule’s squad to look a lot like Briles’ team on the field, although hopefully they will be more disciplined off the field. They are going to throw the ball a lot and play a decent defense.
Between sophomore Zach Smith and graduate transfer Anu Solomon from Arizona, they have already racked up 1,141 passing yards and 11 touchdowns. Wildcat fans can expect Smith to make the start for Baylor on Saturday. Five of those 11 touchdowns have been on passes for more than 70 yards, and four of those were passes from Smith to receiver Chris Platt, who will likely be out this Saturday due to a knee injury. This will make receiver Denzel Mims the top target for Smith’s passes. Mims has 406 receiving yards and six touchdowns this season. The K-State secondary defense will have to step up and shut down Baylor’s talented receiving corps, especially Mims, and make them try to run the ball if they are going to win the game. “It is going to be a test,” senior linebacker Jayd Kirby said at K-State’s weekly football press conference Tuesday. “I do not think we have seen 50 passes in a game yet, so it is going to be something new.” On the defensive side of the ball, Baylor has been doing a great job getting to the quarterback. They, along with Texas
Christian University, have recorded a Big 12 high of 11 sacks through four games. However, in terms of total yards allowed, Baylor ranks dead last in the conference. “They have a lot of movement and blitzes up front,” junior tight end Dayton Valentine said. “We have to be good with our eyes, hands and steps. We need to be able to create those lanes for [Alex] Barnes and [Justin] Silmon, and all those guys to get loose.” Expect K-State senior quarterback Jesse Ertz and sophomore running back Alex Barnes to have a good day running the football. Baylor has the worst rushing defense in the country and have allowed a Big 12 high of 946 yards and eight touchdowns. The receiving core was not good in K-State’s loss at Vanderbilt, but head coach Bill Snyder has been working hard to get the most out of a talented group. “In yesterday’s practice, we threw the ball well, but we also caught the ball well,” Snyder said. “We ran routes well. Our receivers looked quick.” As far as play styles go, Baylor is going to run a “hurry up, no huddle” offense. They average
71.3 offensive plays per game. Baylor is not going to move nearly as quick as it has in the past, though. Under Coach Briles in 2016, they had the fastest offense in the country, averaging 88.6 offensive plays per game. Even without Platt, Baylor has a couple tall, athletic receivers — Mims and sophomore Pooh Stricklin — who will be used in third and long situations. Expect to be frustrated by them running to the first down marker and turning around for an easy, wide open pass. They also like the read option, but Smith is not much of a threat to keep the ball and beat you running it. Rhule brought his defensive coordinator, Phil Snow, with him from Temple, meaning that K-State will be facing a new defensive scheme. They will likely be running a “3-4 defense” — three linemen and four linebackers, one of whom will mainly line up as a “rush-backer” in the defensive end position — but will have more variations on this base defense than they did under Phil Bennet. They will roll a safety back into a deep zone and run a man defense under it. They will likely also put a “spy” on Ertz — a
dedicated defender to stop him from scrambling — on short yardage plays. They will do a lot of late movement, which will give Ertz fits because he will try to call an audible late in the snap clock. Oklahoma had a lot of very open receivers last week, so expect K-State to get similar opportunities over the air. K-State
can also be successful running on third and long past Baylor’s rushers. Oklahoma’s big run plays came when Baylor either dropped too many into pass coverage or took too many players out of the play by rushing the quarterback. My prediction: K-State beats Baylor 38-24.

down to Waco, Texas, where they beat the Bears 42-21. Currently, neither K-State nor Baylor is ranked. Coach Snyder spoke about the benefits of having the first Big 12 conference game at home this season. “I want to play them all at home,” Snyder said. “At the end of the day, you are still going to
have to play five [games] on the road, and it becomes important to understand how to deal with that. We have people who are good at what they do, and they can deal with it.”

All vendors are local members of the Manhattan community. Depending on the month, Eclectic Charm has anywhere from 25 to 30 vendors displaying repurposed items for sale. A unique service that Eclectic Charm provides for the Manhattan community is affordable prices for trinkets and decor. The many items available are trendy while also allowing college-aged buyers to stay within a budget.
On the second weekend of every month, Eclectic Charm features a parking lot sale where the vendors feature more items. Thompson said these parking lot sales are when they draw in the biggest crowds, but overall Eclectic Charm sees a steady flow of people in and out of the store. “We get all sorts of people that come into our shop,” Thompson said. “I like getting to meet people within the community, whether they have lived here their whole life or are new in town.

... when I get to hear their story of how they found us.” Thompson said he updates his store’s commercial spaces every week to keep the market looking fresh with new items. Eclectic Charm offers booth spaces ranging from $75 to $400 per month, plus 10 percent commission. At the end of a six-month contract, each vendor will transition to a monthly term, providing both parties are in agreement. “I have been here since the beginning,” Karen McK-
eeman, vendor at Eclectic Charm, said. “I first started out doing sewing items, and over time that has evolved into repurposed furniture and basically anything and everything that I can get my hands on.” McKeeman has been in Manhattan all her life, and she enjoys the happy atmosphere it offers. She helps in Eclectic Charm when she can, and customers will likely run into her on any Saturday when the store is open. “I enjoy what I do and

K-State Farmers’ Market fills Bosco Plaza with food, crafts for sale ASHLEY MCKENNY THE COLLEGIAN
The school year’s first K-State Farmers’ Market took place Wednesday in Bosco Plaza from 11 a.m. to 1 p.m. Students, student organizations and faculty sold items including food, jewelry and an array of of homemade items. The farmers market is held on the last Wednesday of March, April, September and October every year. This event is hosted by the Union Program Council and the Wildcat Wellness Coalition. Willow Lake Farm, also known as the K-State Student Farm, sold fresh produce at
the market. “Willow Lake Farm is a two-acre community student farm about ten minutes outside of town, and it is volunteer-based,” said Chad Dykstra, farm manager and senior in fisheries, wildlife and conservation biology. The farm sold seasonal produce, including jalapeños, bell peppers, squash, tomatoes, pumpkins, onions and a variety of herbs. Vendors’ wares went beyond produce at the farmers market. The Burrow, the Manhattan chapter of the Harry Potter Alliance, sold handcrafted trinkets made by club members. “It’s a nonprofit organization that uses Harry Potter
and other fandoms to make a difference in the community,” said Stephanie Bayless, treasurer for The Burrow and junior in geology and physics. The Burrow’s sales from the farmers market were donated to Direct Relief, an organization that helps people affected by disasters, including the recent hurricanes in the Atlantic. Rachel Stetson, junior in kinesiology, nutrition and dietetics, was also present as a vendor, selling gluten-free baked goods from her new company, Wakadoos. Stetson started Wakadoos this past summer. “I am excited to be here and to have a way to sell,” Stetson said.
Buyers flocked to the market in spite of chilly weather. Sami Jansen, freshman in animal sciences and industry, and Miranda Huston, freshman in horticulture, said they saw a flyer about the farmers market in their dormitory. They said they were excited to be able to walk around and see what was for sale because they often go to farmers markets back home. Megan Katt, health educator at Lafene Student Health Center and the Wildcat Wellness Coalition, said it is necessary to have a farmers market on campus because other campuses across the nation have one. This is the second year of the K-State Farmers’ Market.

Semiannual K-State blood drive collects 497 donations in four days

MADISON BLEVINS THE COLLEGIAN
This semester’s blood drive at Kansas State University collected 497 pints of blood, falling 53 pints short of its goal of
550.
In recent years, the K-State blood drive has also fallen short of its goals. With decreased participation, donations have fallen from approximately 800 pints per blood drive to only 550.
“While it may not be the most fun getting stuck with a needle, the person on the other end of that pinch is in a crisis,” said Jan Hale, external communications manager for the American Red Cross. “Doing something for that person is the
ultimate ‘pay it forward.’” This year’s goal for K-State faculty and students was 550 or more donations. K-State has the largest collegiate drive that American Red Cross works with each year and is also one of the biggest drives overall in Kansas, Hale said. Once a student donates, the blood is tested and delivered to a hospital to help save up to three lives. Blake Medley, sophomore in mechanical engineering and community service chair of Phi Gamma Delta fraternity, participated in the collegiate blood drive in numerous ways. Medley said he helped with outreach to students and organizations, posted information in K-State Today and wore the blood drop costume you may have seen walking across campus. “Working for the blood drive is a very rewarding experience that can directly impact the lives of people in our community,” Medley said. “I encourage anyone and everyone to donate or volunteer to help those people in need.” Hannah Miller, sophomore in animal sciences and industry, said she has donated numerous
times in the past in both high school and college. She said she noticed the donation rooms seemed extremely bare compared to previous years. “Donating blood is a simple process that takes very little time,” Miller said. “It not only impacts others, but could possibly save a life.”

Robyn Ochs, author and editor of Bi Women Quarterly, presented an interactive workshop Thursday evening titled “Beyond the Binaries: Identity and Sexuality.”
Ochs’ workshop explored how sexuality and identity are perceived on a social and personal level. The Kansas State Sexuality and Gender Alliance sponsored the presentation with the help of the LGBT Resource Center. In the workshop, Ochs challenged participants to ex-

amine how sexuality is generally measured and how people identify themselves. Ochs compared the differences between the two by encouraging participants to fill out an anonymous survey and explore the results. Ochs created the survey to help measure sexuality, sexual attraction and how these things change over time. She developed the survey for over two decades before presenting it and continues to adjust the survey as she learns more on the topic. “If you don’t fit into someone else’s frame, the problem is with the frame, not you,” Ochs said. “Humans are too complicated to be sorted neatly into boxes, but we tend to do just that.” Ochs explained that because humans are complicated creatures, sexuality is a complicated subject. Placing too much meaning on these social identities can become dangerous. Ochs encouraged attendees to use an intersectional mindset when thinking about

other people. “We need to understand that categories aren’t the whole story,” Ochs said. Ochs said she believes people can be attracted to anyone, regardless of gender. She used the analogy that sexual orientation is like ice cream. You can like chocolate, vanilla, both or other flavors entirely. Janae McKinney, sophomore in agricultural commu-
h
nications and journalism, attended the workshop hoping to learn more about gender and sexual fluidity. “People need to understand how diverse the human experience is,” McKinney said. McKinney said witnessing the data collected by the survey was a highlight for her because she realized the way people identify socially can dif-
fer from the way they identify personally. Rachel Hunt, sophomore in biology and treasurer of SAGA, said she believes more people should attend talks like this that challenge societal norms. “Education is important,” Hunt said. “We don’t talk about this stuff as a society, and the average person doesn’t understand fluidity.”

Complete, beautiful chaos: New art exhibit dazzles in Student Union MONICA BRICH
THE COLLEGIAN
Morgan Wolfe, senior in mass communications, was grabbing a coffee at Radina’s Coffeehouse in the Student Union when a painting called “Elysium” drew her into the William T. Kemper Art Gallery. “I usually don’t go to the gallery,” Wolfe said. “But that painting demanded attention.” This piece and several oth-
ers are part of the Inflorescence Art Exhibit, a collaboration between Allison Olsen and Jessie Burnes, seniors in fine arts. The exhibit is coordinated by the Union Program Council. “I like bright, vibrant colors because they draw people in from the beginning,” Olsen said. Burnes said Olsen contacted her first about an opportunity to display art in the Kemper Art Gallery. “It’s a really lucky opportunity that just worked out,”
Burnes said. Olsen said she knew about their chance to display art in the Kemper Art Gallery because she works for UPC. “I’m the lead arts installer,” Olsen said. “Basically that just means that I oversee the installations — and the de-installations — of the shows that go up in the William T. Kemper Art Gallery, and I facilitate scheduling by organizing the shows.” Olsen and Burnes decided to show their work together due
to their similarities in artistic style. “I paint abstract,” Olsen said. “I used to call it abstract botanical, but it kind of went away from plants to more of just spaces and environments. My idea is I paint large scale, and then I invite the viewer in to look at my work and see it kind of overwhelming all around them. Then they can go in and look at the little spaces between everything, and seeing how the forms interact with each other.”
Burnes said she also started painting by taking inspiration from nature. “I focus on aspects of nature I feel drawn to personally,” Burnes said. Burnes said using a representational idea of a flower was a vehicle for her to play with rest and unrest coexisting in one place and how that works in the natural world. “[The purpose is] to really notice the things you observe and are drawn to,” Burnes said.
Before leaving the exhibit, Wolfe left a comment in the guestbook. “Complete, beautiful chaos,” Wolfe said. “I loved reading about these paintings as a process of ‘letting go.’ Seems like you handle the ups and downs of life by making beautiful things.” Olsen and Burnes’ art exhibit will be open until Oct. 4. The next art exhibit in the Kemper Art Gallery will be a look at the Student Union over the years.
Banned Books Week invites students, faculty to challenge censorship
Olivia Bergmeier | COLLEGIAN MEDIA GROUP
Peyton Weeks, sophomore in life sciences, checks out the Banned Books display in Hale Library on Sept. 28, 2017.
MADISON OBERMEYER THE COLLEGIAN
Words and ideas banned from libraries and schools across the United States are being read and celebrated as part of Banned Books Week, an annual tradition to commemorate controversial literature. The Department of English, Sigma Tau Delta International English Honor Society, K-State Libraries and the KSDB student radio station are co-sponsoring a series of events to celebrate the week. Faculty, staff and students read excerpts from banned and/or challenged books on KSDB radio. KSDB also host-
ed a drawing for a gift certificate to Claflin Books and Copies. “Growing up in Kansas suburbia, I felt like I was only exposed to great literature when ‘great’ was synonymous with vanilla, straight, white literature usually written by men,” Lynsey Akin, sophomore in English literature, said. “By censoring books that challenge that canon, entire communities, ideals, dialects and identities are being denied their opportunity to be recognized as a valid part of society.” According to the American Library Association’s website, Banned Books Week “highlights the value of free and open access to information” by bringing together librarians,
booksellers, publishers, journalists, teachers and readers in shared support of “the freedom to seek and express ideas, even those some consider unorthodox or unpopular.” “Often times I think people look at the list [of banned books] and question why books were banned,” Naomi Wood, professor of English, said. “It helps people recognize that casually accepting censorship means being liable to ignoring that important ideas are being quieted.” Wood said banned books usually reflect the larger cultural wars and disagreements that rile society up in different ways, with most being children’s or young adult books that depict a character outside of what is considered socially normal, or a situation that people want to reject. In the last decade, the issue has largely manifested in a protest of sexually explicit scenes, Wood said. “What typically shows up on banned book lists are any texts that assume that children might have a sexual orientation that is not conventional or that they might even have a sexual orientation at all,” Wood said. “Out of the top ten challenged books, five portray LGBT characters.” 323 challenges were reported to the ALA Office for Intellectual Freedom in 2016, according to the ALA’s 2017 State of America’s Libraries
Report. The top ten most-challenged books of 2016 are “This One Summer” by Mariko Tamaki; “Drama” by Raina Telgemeier; “George” by Alex Gino; “I Am Jazz” by Jazz
Jennings and Jessica Herthel; “Two Boys Kissing” by David Levithan; “Looking for Alaska” by John Green; “Big Hard Sex Criminals” by Matt Fraction; “Make Something Up: Stories You Can’t Unread” by Chuck
Palahniuk; the “Little Bill” series by Bill Cosby and “Eleanor & Park” by Rainbow Rowell.

K-State Soccer to face No. 9 West Virginia in Big 12 matchup

THE COLLEGIAN
The Kansas State women’s soccer team will play their first home game in the Big 12 conference on Friday at 7 p.m against West Virginia University at the K-State Soccer Complex. K-State is entering the match with a 5-5-1 record in non-conference play and a 0-2-0 record in the Big 12, while West Virginia is coming in at 8-3-0 in non-conference play and 1-1-0 in Big 12 play. West Virginia is currently ranked number nine in the country. West Virginia had their four-game winning streak broken against the University of Texas, who are now 10-0-0 in noncon-
ference play and 2-0-0 in the Big 12. The last time the West Virginia Mountaineers lost a regular season Big 12 match was in their last game of the regular season against Texas Tech in 2013. The Wildcats played their first two Big 12 matches against Texas Tech and Texas Christian University last weekend. In these matches, K-State only scored one goal total and allowed four over the course of the two matchups. Against the Texas Tech Red Raiders, the Wildcats allowed three goals. Sophomore middle forward Ashley Zane scored the lone goal for K-State, and the assist came from sophomore Katie Cramer. This was the first goal against a Big 12 opponent in K-State soccer program history.
Head coach Mike Dibbini said he is nonetheless optimistic about his team’s scoring chances in the Big 12. “It is always good to get a goal, especially from somebody that comes off the bench and changes the game and gives us a spark the way Ashley Zane and Katie Cramer did there on that play,” Dibbini said to K-State Sports. The Red Raiders recorded 28 total shots and 14 shots on goal. Senior Miranda Larkin set a K-State school record for saves with 11 in one game. Texas Tech improved their record to 8-2-0 in non-conference play and 1-0-0 in the Big 12. While the Wildcat defense held the TCU Horned Frogs to only one goal, they struggled offensively. K-State had only five shots with two on goal and three corner kicks. On the other side, Texas Tech had 28 shots with 14 on goal and six corner kicks. The teams had 19 fouls combined. In the match against TCU, the Wildcats held the Horned Frogs scoreless for the first 75 minutes of the match. K-State had three shots with four saves, while TCU finished the night with 15 shots, five on goal and 15 corner kicks. TCU improved to 8-3-0 non-conference and 2-0-0 in the Big 12. The Horned Frogs scored their goal on a miscue to win the match. K-State enters their match against West Virginia having scored a goal in eight straight home games.
University experiences power outage Wednesday afternoon KAYLIE MCLAUGHLIN THE COLLEGIAN
At around 3:30 p.m. on Wednesday, Kansas State University experienced a power outage on a portion of the campus. The outage included Dole Hall, the entire Derby Complex and the Strong Community, although there were reports of power outages beyond campus as well. The power was expected to remain out for more than an hour. Based on information on a report published on K-State IT News, this incident comes just under a month after the outage on August 28th, taking down students' email and K-State Online. A majority of the problem was resolved within an hour, although some "enterprise services" such as KSIS and FIS
"on the converged infrastructure took time to restore." Despite the inconvenience, students did not let Wednesday's power outage halt their daily routines. Videos circulating Snapchat show residents living on the second floor of Moore Hall enjoying the blackout. Students passed the time by throwing an impromptu dance party to Taylor Swift songs. Ben Anthony, sophomore in mechanical engineering, was eating a late lunch in the Derby Dining Hall when the power went out. "It didn't cause much of a difference," Anthony said. "I just ate more ice cream." Some students, like freshman Victoria Hall, said they decided to head off campus to avoid the chaotic situation. "My roommate and I went
to go buy groceries at Walmart," Hall said. Westar Energy Spokeswoman, Gina Penzing, said that the outage went beyond just the K-State Manhattan campus, stating that other areas in the state experienced similar situations. "While the cause of the outage is unclear, we were able to restore power," Penzing said. The following day, Westar Energy was able to pinpoint the cause of the outage. Penzing said that it was ultimately 'an equipment failure'. Nicki Grandy, assistant coordinator of Moore Hall, said that she was happy the power came back on as quickly as it did. "It was out from around 30 minutes and they fixed it a lot faster than they thought they would," Grandy said.
BOOKS | Challenged books get credit continued from page

“I think [Banned Books Week] is a great opportunity to recognize censored materials, and I think it encourages people to read books they otherwise wouldn’t get the exposure to,” Allyssa Bruce, graduate student in English, said. The main floor of Hale Library is hosting a display of books
this week that have faced controversy over the years, including the top ten challenges of 2016. “Librarians are very militant about the freedom to act against limitation,” Wood said. “People are free to read what they want to read and investigate what they want to investigate, even if they are children.” A sign on the library’s banned books display prompts
viewers to check out one of the selections if they see something they like by bringing the book and a K-State ID card to the help desk or a self-checkout station. “The more exposure people have to lives unlike their own, the more empathy they will have,” Akin said. “That includes what information they’re allowed access to in a library.”
