KSDB Radio Playhouse Dr. Barnett meets with College Republicans presents students’ audio dramas Tuesday night OLIVIA ROGERS THE COLLEGIAN

CONRAD KABUS THE COLLEGIAN
Inside a studio at KSDB, Kansas State’s student-run radio station, a sound technician plays nostalgic music while actors prepare their scripts. Suddenly, the lights dim and the listening audience travels back in time with spies and starships. For its second year running, the KSDB Radio Playhouse aired live radio dramas Tuesday night, featuring K-State student actors and radio personnel. James Copeland, KSDB programming director and senior in mass communications, said the two dramas, “Extrasolar Squad” and “The Last Broadcast,” are original student productions reminiscent of 1930s radio programs. “This is all student-written,” Copeland said. “We do have some digital sound effects, but we try to do sound effects manually, using whatever works.” Copeland said more than 20 people were involved with the production, including studio coordinators, actors, sound effect operators and sound technicians. Both radio drama programs were directed by Brennan Flanagan, junior in education, and written by K-State students. Flanagan is an underwriting direc-
tor for KSDB and helped create the KSDB Radio Playhouse series with help from On the Spot, K-State’s improvised acting group. “We thought, ‘What could be better than to get some actors to do some old time radio drama?,’” Flanagan said. “So we had this grand idea to go back in time and do these programs.” The KSDB Radio Playhouse’s first program was a Christmas special last year. The group has since performed Shakespeare and other original student productions during holiday seasons. Brett Broadbent, sophomore in theatre and actor with KSDB Radio Playhouse and On the Spot, said he was interested in character and voice acting roles with the KSDB radio station. “I really enjoy it,” Broadbent said. “It’s really fun to play multiple characters and getting to see the live action sound effects is also really cool.” Broadbent wore a 1930s-style suit to Tuesday’s production to get into character, but he said the KSDB programs are also dissimilar to old-time radio dramas in some ways.

Dr. Jim Barnett, practicing physician and candidate for state governor, visited the College Republicans at Kansas State on Monday. Barnett previously ran for state governor in 2006, winning the Republican nomination. Barnett said he grew up on a farm at the edge of the Flint Hills in Reading, Kansas, before going into medicine. His public service experience includes school board activities and a position as state senator from 2001 to 2010. Barnett is touring Kansas in an effort to understand regional differences and determine how to unify the state into “#OneKansas,” the tagline of his campaign. “What we really need is economic growth,” Barnett said. Students in the College Republicans at K-State asked Barnett about the methods he would use to grow the economy and balance the state budget. Barnett explained that Kansas needs a functional government, expanded Medicaid and practical education. “What I’d look for in the next governor is someone who is deeply-rooted

in the principles, while having the ability to work with Congress to achieve bipartisan solutions to problems,” said Taylor Latham, senior in finance and president of the College Republicans at K-State. Barnett said his goal is to attract and develop young professionals by tailoring education to fit the
needs of businesses. “The most important job is helping the state’s economy grow and bring higher-paying jobs and make Kansas a place where young people want to live, work and raise a family,” Barnett
said. “Only as one Kansas can we unite and solve problems.” Barnett is the third gubernatorial candidate to visit Manhattan this year after Mark Hutton and Ed O’Malley.

K-State Police, UPC host student self-defense class CHRISTINA CANNON THE COLLEGIAN
The Union Program Council and the Kansas State Police Department hosted a self-defense class and campus safety presentation Monday evening at the Chester E. Peters Recreation Complex, teaching students new ways to be prepared for an attack on campus. Joe Wilk, instructor at the Combative Sports Center in Manhattan, taught the class with Kelsey Finke, a 2009 K-State graduate. The class was taught in two sessions, one at 6 p.m. and one at 7:45 p.m. Between the sessions, K-State Police officer Scott Jacobs spoke to students about how to keep themselves and their belongings safe. “The primary [type of activity] we have is theft,” Jacobs said. In the last three weeks, several bicycles have been stolen, Jacobs said. Jacobs encouraged students to use the services offered by the university like the K-State Live Safe App and the Wildcat Walk
program. Wilk has been involved in mixed martial arts and self-defense instruction for more than 10 years. Among his students at the Combative Sports Center are members of law enforcement and soldiers at Fort Riley. “I think that self-defense, especially in 2017, is super important,” Wilk said. “The thing about self-defense is that it’s up to the people to start. It’s up to you to get your foot in the door. It’s a good tool for everyone to have because you never know.” The idea for the class was brought to the attention of the UPC over the summer. Michael Tiede, senior in mechanical engineering, and Kathleen DelaCruz, junior in family studies, said it took about a month to plan the class. Tiede said it was the first time the UPC had hosted an event like this in a while. “It’d be something that I think would be beneficial if we offered it each semester,” Tiede said. Monday’s class was a condensed version of the course
taught by Wilk at the Combative Sports Center. Wilk emphasized the importance of using distance as an advantage, maintaining a fourfoot distance from the other person in the confrontation. Students also learned how to block advances, break free and disable assailants. “I think it was definitely helpful,” Aubrey Smith, junior in civil engineering, said. “I hadn’t really thought about someone coming up to me from the front with the conversation-type of fight, so that was a good perspective. If that ever happens, I’ll be able to use that information and go from there.” Smith said she saw an email about the event from the UPC, and began taking classes at 9 Round Fitness and Kickboxing. Laura Apel, senior in hospitality management, said she appreciated the class’s focus. “It was nice to just learn a few little moves, instead of a hundred moves, and being able to show them little things like being able to guard yourself and get away from the situation instead of going into the fight,” Apel said.

Renovations provide graduate students space for working, studying DEREK SIMMONS THE COLLEGIAN
Graduate students at Kansas State now have a new location to study, do research and collaborate. The Graduate Student Space, located on the third floor of Eisenhower Hall, opened Sept. 29 as a result of the Space Migration project, an initiative from the university that caused several departments on campus to relocate. The space serves as a series of rooms reserved for graduate students, particularly graduate teaching assistants who are in need of private meeting spaces with the undergraduates they work with. ”As a GTA, you’re required to have certain office hours to meet with your un-
dergraduate students,” said Kelsey Peterson, communications and marketing specialist for the Kansas State Graduate School. “A lot of students who don’t have their own office, or they share this big office with a lot of other GTAs, can’t have private conversations.” Peterson also emphasized the social aspects of the space. “There are some graduate students who really focus on their work, and they may not have the opportunity to go out and meet new graduate students and make new friends,” Peterson said. The Graduate Student Council, which coordinates social events and programs for graduate students, intends to host events in the Graduate Student Space eventually, Peterson said. The Graduate Student

The Eisenhower Hall graduate student workspace in Manhattan, Kan. The space is located on the third floor of Eisenhower and provides students without their own office a private place to work. Space also accommodates graduate students who are parents, providing a room that serves as a space for children to play.
“They may have times where they need a space to work and they don’t have childcare,” said Megan Miller, student success coordina-
tor in the Graduate School. “So they need to bring their child with them, but they may not feel comfortable or they may not feel it’s appropriate to be taking their children into the library.” The Graduate Student Space was originally office space for faculty members in the Department of Modern Languages. It went through a period of renovation before being designated as a space exclusively for graduate students. The total cost of the renovations was minimal, as much of the effort was taken on by graduate students who volunteered their time. “We’ve called for some grad students to volunteer and tried to make it a little bit more fun by referring to it as a ‘paint party,’” Miller said. “[We] offered pizza and other snacks for those that came
and helped.” Geraldine Craig, associate dean of the Graduate School and professor of art, said money was also saved by using artwork that is on loan from various people as decoration, though there is still work to be done regarding the technology in the space. Iva Bago, graduate student in business administration, said the space will benefit students. “If there are any grad school classes that are in Eisenhower or any close buildings, then it’s a great idea for other grad students to use that space because extra rooms for studying and group projects are awesome,” Bago said. For more information on the Graduate Student Space, including room reservation, visit the Graduate Student page on the K-State website.

Band celebrates 90 years of K-State fight song MONICA BRICH
THE COLLEGIAN
During the pre-game celebrations at last Saturday’s football game, the Kansas State marching band celebrated the 90th anniversary of the school’s fight song, “Wildcat Victory,” by honoring the late writer’s family. Harry E. Erickson wrote the fight song in 1927 while he was a student at K-State back when the school was called the Kansas State Agricultural College. Erickson’s wife, daughter and grandson were in attendance as the marching band played the fight song in its entirety, including the typically unplayed first verse, “Hail to the Purple.” Frank Tracz, director of the marching band, said the band gave the Erickson family a framed article about the old K-Stater and his fight song. “I think it was really, really nice that we honored the Erickson family on Saturday,” Tracz said. “[Mrs. Erickson] was touched and moved by the whole thing. It was just a good thing.” Tracz said he thought the fight song was the ultimate gift to the university 90 years ago. “It’s a great fight song,” Tracz said. “You hear it, it immediately makes you hap-

“For today, it’s very different because the 1930s radio dra-
py, gets you fired up and it forces you to remember all the purple things about Kansas State.” Tracz said that due to how often the fight song is played, it’s easy to teach to new band members. “How to play it — how to play it with good sound, good tone — that’s what we spend our time on,” Tracz said. “The fight song is easy to memorize. It’s one of those that they say lays really well; it comes out of the instruments very easily. It just flows real nice. It’s a good, solid fight song.” Joann Irvin, sophomore in music education, said she loves the fight song. She plays clarinet in the marching band, and is currently learning the trombone part to play in the Cat Band for basketball games. “It’s cool to hear both sounds,” Irvin said. “And it makes me more excited to listen to the fight song when we’re playing it because you can listen to other sections.” Irvin said she still has fun performing the fight song after all this time, especially during exciting parts of football games. “After touchdowns, you can watch everybody get really into the fight song,” Irvin said. “They move their bodies so intense and crazy. Everybody’s putting their full effort into dancing to it and playing
it, and it’s just so much louder and more intense.” Mitchell Bolton, junior in social sciences, agrees with Irvin’s sentiment. As an avid football game attendee, Bolton enjoys participating in the fight song. “It gets my heart pounding and it’s a great feeling to sing along with 50,000 others,” Bolton said.
mas were something everybody around the country listened to,” Broadbent said. “For us, it’s about getting as many people invested in it as possible.” The KSDB Radio Playhouse partnered with the local cafe Bluestem Bistro to air the drama program in their coffee
shop for more publicity and community involvement, Flanagan said. KSDB has also received publicity from the awards won for previous drama productions. Both radio programs are on the KSDB website archives and include audio and visual programs.

What to watch in the world of college football: Week 10 BRETT ENGLE
THE COLLEGIAN
Picking this week’s best college football games to watch was hard, as there are so many high-profile matchups. If you’re in front of a TV this weekend, you won’t have any problem finding something to watch.
NO. 2 PENN STATE VS. NO. 6 OHIO STATE Penn State, which is 7-0 for the year, has a good shot at finishing the season undefeated. Ohio State, meanwhile, is ranked sixth in the nation. Junior running back Saquon Barkley holds the key to the Nittany Lions’ offense. The Heisman candidate leads the team in rushing with 757 yards and eight touchdowns. He also leads the team with 32 catches, making him a weapon for senior quarterback Trace McSorley. Penn State will be the second ranked team Ohio State has played all season. In their first game against a ranked opponent, the Buckeyes lost at home to then-number-five University of Oklahoma, 31-16. Senior quarterback J.T. Barrett has been terrific for the Buckeye offense. Barrett has thrown for 21 touchdowns this year with only one interception.
Barrett has also been dangerous on his legs, as he is tied for the team lead with five rushing touchdowns. The game will kick off on Saturday at 3:30 p.m. on Fox.
NO. 4 TEXAS CHRISTIAN UNIVERSITY VS. NO. 25 IOWA STATE
The undefeated TCU Horned Frogs face their third ranked team of the year. TCU took care of business in these first two games, beating thennumber-six Oklahoma State, 44-31, and then-number-23 West Virginia University, 31-24. Senior quarterback Kenny Hill is the leader for TCU. Hill has thrown for 15 touchdowns this year and has run for two touchdowns. Hill plays exceptionally well at home, as 15 of his 17 total touchdowns have come at home. Iowa State is officially the hottest team in the nation. The Cyclones are riding a threegame winning streak, winning against then-number-three Oklahoma to start the streak. The road will get hard though, as this is the first of three straight games against ranked opponents. Senior quarterback Kyle Kempt has played greatly in the team’s three-game win streak, which are the only games he has

played in this season. Kempt has thrown for 657 yards and seven touchdowns with only one interception. The Big 12 matchup will kick off on Saturday at 3:30 p.m. on ABC and ESPN2.
NO. 14 NORTH CAROLINA STATE VS. NO. 9 NOTRE DAME
NC State lost 35-28 in week one to the University of South Carolina. Since then, the Wolfpack has had a perfect 6-0 record, including two wins against ranked teams. Junior running back Nyheim Hines is a big part of the team’s offense. Hines leads the team in rushing with 648 yards and is second on the team in touchdowns with six. Senior tight end Jaylen Samuels leads the team in rushing touchdowns with seven. Notre Dame, which is currently sitting at 6-1, is coming off its best win of the year, blowing out number 11 University of Southern California, 49-14. Junior quarterback Brandon Wimbush has been effective for the Fighting Irish this year, throwing for 903 yards and eight touchdowns. Wimbush also leads the team in rushing touchdowns, with ten. The Wolfpack and the Fighting Irish will kick off on Saturday at 3:30 p.m. on NBC.

The Kansas State volleyball team will aim to upend the Iowa State Cyclones at Ahearn Field House tonight. Iowa State will be the seventh nationally-ranked opponent K-State has seen this season. The Wildcats are 0-7 in these contests. This will be the second and final matchup between these two teams this season. On Oct. 11, the Cyclones took down the Wildcats in a quick three-set win in Ames, Iowa.
The Wildcats will go into the match with a 9-12 record overall, 2-6 in Big 12 play. The Cyclones have been the surprise team to beat in the Big 12 conference — they are 14-4 overall and 5-3 in the conference. K-State is trying to bounce back from a five-set loss at West Virginia University on Saturday. The Wildcats managed to show many signs of life, even in the losing effort. Defensively, junior middle blocker Macy Flowers provided a team high of nine blocks, and freshman middle blocker Peyton Williams provided eight blocks.
Williams also had 12 kills and hit .375 on Saturday against the West Virginia Mountaineers. Sophomore middle blocker Elle Sandbothe provided a season-best seven blocks against the Mountaineers, and junior outside hitter Kylee Zumach had a career high of five blocks in a defensive showcase for the Wildcats. Zumach has reached double digits in kills in 18 of the 21 matches this season, and she has done that 55 times in her career. It was another impressive performance from sophomore setter Sarah Dixon, who had a double-double with 26 assists and 10 digs. Senior Bryna Vogel also had a double-double with 11 kills and 13 digs. Iowa State had two home wins last week. As a result, middle blocker Grace Lazard was named Big 12 Defensive Player of the Week after a performance of 11 blocks against West Virginia. This was the fifth time an Iowa State player has received the award this season. The Cyclones are first in the Big 12 conference in digs per set at 17.21 and are second in the Big 12 in blocks per set at 3.16 and opponent hitting percentage at .150. K-State will face off against Iowa State at 8 p.m. inside Ahearn Field House tonight. The match can be viewed ESPNU.
Rowing team ends fall season at Jayhawk Jamboree, places top three JARRETT WHITSON THE COLLEGIAN
The Kansas State rowing team concluded its fall season at the fifth annual Jayhawk Jamboree last Sunday in Lawrence. The Wildcats finished in the top
three of all but one event. In the Varsity 8+ race, the Wildcats’ V8A boat finished second behind Oklahoma’s A boat in the finals. The defeeat was close — the Wildcats finished in 55 seconds, while the Sooners finished in 53 seconds. V8A was led by junior cox-
swain Samantha Scott. The rowers were senior Marissa Butrum, juniors Grace Reilly, Elaina Grantham, Mattie Warner and Kennedy Felice and sophomores Mikaela Bennett, Logan Frost and Lauren Costello. In the women’s Varsity 4+ race, K-State had two boats fin-
ish in the top 15. Boat A finished ninth with a time of 14:25.59. Boat B finished 15th with a time of 14:44.55. In the Novice 4+ race, Victoria Iacovetti coxed a boat rowed by sophomores Leah Gaines, Aubrey Gilchrist, Macy Flory and Skylar Gottschalk to
a gold medal. Their first-place time was 15:49.14. In the Novice 8+ race, Maddi Breault coxed a boat rowed by sophomores Abbey Hebbert, Caroline Geither, Jazzmyn Pekarek, Leah Gaines, Aubrey Gilchrist Skylar Gottschalk and freshmen Taylor Hartman and
Emma Witter. The boat finished second in 13:56.80 for a silver medal. With the fall rowing season coming to an end, the K-State rowing team won’t return to action until the spring season. The next meet be on March 3, 2018 in Oklahoma City.

What games to watch in the National Football League: Week 8 JARRETT WHITSON THE COLLEGIAN
Here’s a list of the mustwatch games in the National Football League this week.
MIAMI DOLPHINS (4-2) AT BALTIMORE RAVENS (3-4)
The Miami Dolphins are currently riding a three-game winning streak. Two weeks ago, the team defeated the Falcons which was 3-1 at the time, and most recently it won a rematch with division rival New York. With starting quarterback Jay Cutler likely out with a rib injury, backup Matt Moore will lead the way. Moore led the Dolphins back from a 14-point deficit
against the Jets. Running back Jay Ajayi has yet to score on the ground this season, but he could have a big week against the league’s worst run defense. Baltimore is struggling, losing four of its last five games after a 2-0 start. The good news is, all three Ravens wins have come against AFC teams. Joe Flacco hasn’t surpassed 200 passing yards since week five, and has only thrown two touchdowns all year. He will aim to get back on track against a Miami secondary that just released cornerback Byron Maxwell. The Thursday Night Football matchup can be seen on CBS at 7:25 p.m.
DALLAS COWBOYS (3-3) AT WASHINGTON REDSKINS (3-3)
These two teams are tied for second place in the NFC East, so a win would be huge to keep their chances to compete in the division alive. Dallas is coming off a 40-10 win against San Francisco. It was a much-needed win as the Cowboys lost its previous two games by a combined nine points. Ezekiel Elliott exploded against the 49ers defense. He was dynamic, as he ran for 147 yards and two touchdowns, and even caught a pass that resulted in a 72-yard score. Getting past a slow start to the season, Elliott is playing to form now
with two straight 100+ yard games. Week seven saw the Redskins fall to the Eagles for the second time this season, 34-24. Kirk Cousins played despite learning about his grandmother’s death shortly before the game. He threw for 303 yards and three touchdowns, but was out-dueled by Eagles quarterback Carson Wentz, who added a fourth touchdown. The Cowboys’ defense is allowing 23.7 points per game. The Redskins will likely light up the scoreboard, as the team is 3-1 in games, and score at least 24 points. The NFC East rivals will square off at 3:25 p.m. Sunday on FOX.
DENVER BRONCOS (3-3) AT KANSAS CITY CHIEFS (5-2)
This week, Monday Night Football will feature a matchup between No. 1 and No. 2 in the AFC West. After narrowly defeating the Chargers in week one, Denver looked impressive in a 42-17 rout of the Cowboys. Since then, the team has gone 1-3. That slide has seen the Broncos defeat the Raiders, lose to the Giants and lose 21-0 to the Chargers. Quarterback Trevor Siemian has been struggling, throwing seven interceptions and posting a 39.6 QBR. An encouraging stat for the Broncos is that since 2013, they have beaten the Chiefs three out of four times when playing in

Arrowhead Stadium. Kansas City has a long time to prepare for this game. It has 11 days between games, as it last played on Thursday, Oct. 19. The long break might be needed as it has lost their last two games after starting 5-0. In a 31-30 loss to Oakland last week, the Kansas City defense gave up 417 yards through the air, and Kareem Hunt was held out of the end zone for the second straight week. Denver’s defense is allowing 19.7 points per game, ninthbest in the NFL and would love to give its rival a third-straight loss, but the Chiefs want nothing more than to get back on track by defeating the Broncos. The action will begin in Kansas City at 7:30 p.m. Monday on ESPN.

President Myers meets with honors program students in Honors House AMBER KELLY
THE COLLEGIAN
Kansas State University president Richard Myers visited the Honors House on Tuesday to address questions from students in the University Honors Program. Questions ranged from specifics about the future of the program, to plans for the whole university, to inclusivity on campus. Myers said he plans on continuing the K-State 2025 Visionary Plan pushed by former university president Kirk Schulz by increasing outreach to the Kansas City metropolitan area and expanding opportunities for international students at K-State’s polytechnic campus. “It’s a pretty good roadmap we refresh every year,” Myers said. “It takes about four months out of the year to meet with the heads of every department to discuss what’s happening with the plan, where we’re at and what they want to happen.”
Also included in the 2025 Plan is work on agricultural facilities, as Myers said 60 percent of the research done at K-State is in the College of Agriculture. “If we want to be a top 50 public research university, we need more research, and they’re pretty much out of research capacity in the College of Agriculture because of their facilities,” Myers said. Myers responded to a prompt regarding the recent divisiveness on campus and plans for promoting a more inclusive environment among the student body. “The trends we’re fighting on campus are national trends where civil discourse has fallen apart,” Myers said. “We don’t have national leadership that talks about unity.” Regarding university responses to recent controversial events on campus, Myers said K-State needs to be more proactive. ”We need to be more proactive than just writing a letter every time somebody hangs a poster we
don’t like,” Myers said. “We’re going to try to do something about it.” Myers said if K-State were a private college, like Texas Christian University or Baylor, the policy would be different, but as a public university there are limitations on how to respond to controversial events on campus. Steve Dandaneau, director of the University Honors Program, said bringing Myers to the Honors House was important for the program. “It’s important for the president of the university to understand the great value honors students bring to the institution,” Dandaneau said. The event was held in the lower lobby of the Honors House. The room was full of students and faculty involved with the program. “It’s been on my calendar for a long time,” Benjamin Rauth, freshman in political science, said. “This is kind of why I did the honors program.”
