Manhappenin’ promotes fall issue at Thursday night release party KACI FORAKER
THE COLLEGIAN
People dressed as unicorns, witches and more filed into Tate’s on Moro in Aggieville to check out the fall issue of Manhappenin’ Magazine at a Halloween-themed release party Thursday night. Free food from Qdoba, Varsity Donuts and Insomnia Cookies was available for all attendees. Prizes were also awarded to those with the best costumes. “Since it is around Halloween time, we decided to do something new and have a Halloween costume contest,” said Fabiola Sierra, Collegian Media Group advertising manager and senior in advertising. “It is a fun, interactive way for students to get involved and they will be judged by faculty.” This was the second release party held by the magazine’s editors since its creation in 2016. Manhappenin’ is Kansas State’s student-created lifestyle magazine and part of the Collegian Media Group. The publication was initially a campus directory, but it has taken on a new look as a magazine to draw in readership. Sierra said the staff now have their own office and continue to be a growing, developing department. “It is a cool way for students to express their work and put together a finished product on their own,” said Julissa Andazola, release party attendee and junior in life science. “I heard about the party last year and many people said it was a good time with free food,” Vanessa Sastoque, junior in business administration, said. “As I was looking through the magazine, it was neat to recognize other students’ names and see the cool magazine they created.” “The more people we get to come to the party, the more buzz the magazine will get,” Sierra said. “People will see pictures and talk to others that went last year to hopefully increase interest in our maga-

Wildcat football heads to Lawrence for Sunflower Showdown DEAUNDRA ALLEN THE COLLEGIAN
The Kansas State football team will travel to Lawrence for the annual Sunflower Showdown against the University of Kansas Jayhawks. The game is set to begin Saturday at 2 p.m. in Memorial Stadium. Last week, K-State had a hard-fought loss at home against the University of Oklahoma Sooners. Both teams were tied in the fourth quarter, but Oklahoma pulled forward in the last ten seconds of the game, winning 42-35. The Wildcats are now 3-4 this season and have not been nationally ranked since week three. Sophomore quarterback Alex Delton stepped up in place of an injured senior quarterback Jesse Ertz, where Delton threw for 144 passing yards and had one passing touchdown. Sophomore running back Alex Barnes also had some stepping up, with 108 rushing yards, 75 of
those coming from the Wildcats’ second offensive play. As for KU, the Jayhawks traveled down to Texas last weekend and took on Texas Christian University. The Jayhawks were destroyed by the Horned Frogs, 42-0. KU quarterback Peyton Bender had 38 passing yards and no touchdowns. Running back Kyle Herbert had eight rushing yards for the entire game against TCU. Herbert is usually a statistical leader for the Jayhawks. During K-State’s weekly press conference, head football coach Bill Snyder talked about KU’s defense and what to look out for. “They have some very fine players, players we’ve played against and know what their capacity for good performance happens to be,” Snyder said. “When you’re not doing well collectively, it tends to wear on you a little bit. We’re experiencing that as well, but I think they play hard. They’ve got good physical talent, they have some

But if you’re not from in-state, be there for your teammates that are from in-state because this is something they live with year-in and year-out, as much as anybody can.” Snyder also talked about the role motivation can play in a football game. “If I have to motivate them to play any team, then we’ve got some problems,” Snyder said. “There’s 365 days in a year and you get to play the game 12 [or] 13 times. That’s 13 out of 365 days that you really get to do a thing that you love doing. That, to me, ought to be the motivation to do it.” Snyder said both quarterbacks, Ertz and Delton, will be on the sidelines looking for play time in the near future. Junior defensive back Kendall Adams is also expected for a return against the Jayhawks. The game is set to start at 2 p.m. in Memorial Stadium. The game will be broadcast on FS1.

Iowa State started 2-2, and in those early games he had 19 receptions for 296 yards. Since then, the Cyclones have gone 3-0 and Butler has four catches for only 81 yards. He was basically silent in their huge win at Oklahoma, one catch for 54 yards, and hasn't scored since a week two loss to the University of Iowa.

NATHAN ENSERRO THE COLLEGIAN
The Kansas State football team will take on the University of Kansas Jayhawks on Saturday in Lawrence. It will be the 115th meeting in a historic football rivalry that KU leads 64-445. K-State has dominated recently, however, going 20-1 in football games coached by Bill Snyder since 1993. This is KU head coach David Beaty’s third season at the helm. He has amassed an abysmal 3-28 record in those seasons, including a winless season in his first year. Whatever momentum Beaty had built up after beating the University of Texas last season seems to have dissipated over the course of this season. KU’s lone win came at home against Southeast Missouri State, a team in
the Ohio Valley Conference. With former linebacker Ben Heeney now with the NFL’s Houston Texans and former quarterback Montell Cozart at Boise State, this team lost their bright spots on both sides of the ball from last year. K-State does need to be ready to defend against wide receiver Steven Sims Jr. Sims is a quality receiver and also a living weapon on special teams. Sims has caught 23 passes for 404 yards and three touchdowns this season. Junior quarterback Peyton Bender is a former Mike Leach quarterback at Washington State. He is capable of making good decisions, a cornerstone of Leach’s offense. This experience in Leach’s air raid offense makes Bender a good fit for KU’s offense under first-year offensive coordinator Doug Meacham.
see page 7, “KANSAS”
While the Kansas State football team is getting ready for Saturday’s game at KU, what are K-State fans doing to prepare for Saturday? Colson Riemann, sophomore in construction science and management, said he’s going to Lawrence to hang out with friends and tailgate before the game. “Usually when it’s in Manhattan, there’s a big crew from my hometown [Beloit, Kansas] that comes down and has a big tailgate on the east side at K-State,” Riemann said. “But going to Lawrence, there’s really no tradition going there.” This will be the third time Riemann has been to an away game in Lawrence, and he said he hopes K-State will win against the Jayhawks by at least 50 points. Riemann said he is also planning to visit the Jayhawk Cafe while he’s in Lawrence.

Bill Snyder Family Stadium played host to the Sunflower Showdown against KU on Saturday Nov. 26, 2016. Hannah Steinert, sophomore in nutrition and health, said she is also planning to go to Lawrence and start tailgating early with her friends from KU. This is her first time going to Lawrence for a K-State game, and for her, the Sunflower Showdown is a family bonding experience.
“I told my friend that’s going with me, ‘If K-State loses, I’m going home,’” Steinert said. “Hopefully we win. ... Hopefully by a lot. Maybe like 42-14.”

KANSAS | Jayhawk offense struggles SUNFLOWER | Fans plan ahead continued from page

KU’s offense will look like a less potent version of what Texas Christian University did last year since Meacham is the former TCU offensive coordinator. They will try to spread the defense out like most Big 12 teams and attack through the air. They do run the ball a little more than most Leach-inspired offenses, though. Meacham’s offense was shut down last week against TCU, gaining 21 total yards. They haven’t put up a touchdown in two weeks. K-State should dial up some blitzes and disguised
coverages to try to confuse Bender. He’s shown that when he’s under pressure, he will try to force the ball into bad situations. On defense, the Wildcats need to worry about KU defensive end Dorance Armstrong. Armstrong was all-conference last season, leading the Big 12 in forced fumbles and tackles for loss and finishing second in sacks. KU will line up with four down linemen and two linebackers, a 4-2 defense. In certain situations — mostly short yardage or late downs — Armstrong may stand up and line up like a blitzing linebacker.
The Wildcats ought to take advantage of KU only having six guys on the defensive line by running the ball a lot. K-State’s sophomore running back Alex Barnes should get a lot of work on Saturday. Coach Snyder said senior quarterback Jesse Ertz will likely be back this Saturday. If he is available, expect K-State to utilize short passes and lean their running backs to shy away from the quarterback running game a little bit. I expect K-State to win this game handily, but not continue KU’s shutout streak. Final score: 38-3, K-State.

K-State students aren’t the only ones getting ready for the big game. Dan Halen, radio host for 101.5 K-ROCK, said the team behind the Powercat Gameday pre-game show will be spending their Saturday in Lawrence. “Powercat Gameday airs four hours before football games and broadcasts from the K-State Office [Park] for home games, and from sports bar-type restaurants for road
games,” Halen said. “The pre-game show is on both this station and our sister station, News Radio KMAN.” The men hosting Powercat Gameday are K-State alumni John Kurtz, Cole Manbeck and Corey Dean. Halen said this week’s pre-game show will be broadcast from R Bar and Patio, a sports bar owned by K-State alumni James Shaffer and Brian Reeves. “Since KU is a tough place to put together a tailgate, it’s a great meeting place
for Wildcat fans,” Shaffer said. “We have a full bar and kitchen, featuring smoked wings and burgers. Plus, it will be a great spot to just hang out and watch the game if you don’t have tickets.” Shaffer has owned bars in Lawrence for more than 13 years, and this Saturday will be the fifth time he has hosted the Powercat Gameday show at one of his restaurants. He predicts K-State will win the Sunflower Showdown with a score of 44-7.

Volleyball team falls to Iowa State, will face Texas Tech on Saturday BRETT ENGLE
THE COLLEGIAN
The Kansas State volleyball team is going through tough times this season — the Wildcats have now lost four games in row after they fell 3-0 to Iowa State, a team ranked 22nd in the nation. The Wildcats’ record is now 9-13 overall and 2-7 in the Big 12. Three of the Wildcats’ past four losses came to nationally-ranked opponents, including two separate losses to Iowa State. The previous loss to Iowa State occurred Oct. 11. Head volleyball coach Suzie Fritz said she saw improvement from the Wildcats’ previous matchup with the Cyclones.
“I thought we were significantly better than we were the first time we played them,” Fritz said to K-State Sports. “Our firstswing offense was incredibly efficient, but our transition offense was not very good. I think they have something to do with that, too — they’re one of the best defensive teams in the league.” Junior outside hitter Kylee Zumach led the Wildcats with 10 kills. She also led the team with a pair of aces. Zumach has lead the team in kills this season with 256 overall. Sophomore setter Sarah Dixon and junior setter Brooke Smith are also leading the team in assists this season with 557 and 353, respectively. Defensively, junior libero
Reilly Killeen leads the team in digs with 290. The Wildcats have six players with over 100 digs. Freshman middle blocker Peyton Williams and senior opposite Bryna Vogel lead the team in blocks with 66 and 52, respectively. Coming up, the Wildcats will try to turn things around on Saturday when the team travels to Lubbock, Texas, to take on Texas Tech. K-State got the better of the Red Raiders earlier in the year, winning 3-2. The game is scheduled to start at 1 p.m. The next home volleyball game at Ahearn Field House will come on Nov. 1 against the University of Texas. The match will start at 8 p.m. and will be televised on ESPNU.

Not just fishnets: UPC maintains ‘Rocky Horror’ film tradition KENNETH ROOME THE COLLEGIAN
It’s almost Halloween, and this Friday at 10:30 p.m. in the Union Ballroom, the Union Program Counsel is hosting a showing of “The Rocky Horror Picture Show,” a screwball horror musical released in 1975 with a large following of devoted fans. This has been an annual tradition at Kansas State for over 20 years, and the UPC is happy to keep it going.
some newspaper shreds. Davis said the UPC usually takes hours to fill as many prop bags as possible. But this year, the UPC filled 450 prop bags in 30 minutes thanks to additional help. Another important part of the live showings of “Rocky Horror” is the host of the whole event. Mary Renee, Manhattan resident, has been K-State’s “Rocky Horror” emcee for the past 13 years. The emcee has the biggest part to play for every live showing. They obviously help the crowd get excited, but they also explain
We love keeping this tradition alive, not only for the people who come every year but for the ‘virgins’ of the show as well. Erika Davis
PROGRAM ADVISER “We love keeping this tradition alive, not only for the people who come every year but for the ‘virgins’ of the show as well,” said Erika Davis, a program adviser for the UPC. “Rocky Horror” is famous for unique live showings that involve audience participation. Every attendee, including first-time viewers (or “virgins” as they’re called), gets a prop bag. The prop bags hold all the essential tools you need to have an immersive time watching “Rocky Horror,” including pieces of toast, rice and
h
some of the props and traditions to newcomers. The emcee is also responsible for auctioning off the “virgins” of the show to attendees with more “Rocky Horror” experience. Attendees who have never been to a showing before get marked with a red letter “V” on their forehead. Before the show begins, the “virgins” are brought up on stage and auctioned off — not for money, but for random objects people may have with them at the time. The “virgins” then go sit by whoever bought them and
they teach the newbies about all the props and when to use them. “Since ‘Rocky Horror’ is a traditional event that we put on every year, there is a to-do list of things we need done,” Davis said. “This makes it easier than the other, newer events we put on.” One thing Davis did recently to improve advertising was passing out advertisement cookies with brassieres, lips, high heels and other bits of “Rocky Horror” iconography on them. The UPC also does more traditional advertising through flyers and posters around campus. Parker Heinze, senior in psychology and undergraduate assistant for the LGBT Resource Center, said he has been going to the annual “Rocky Horror” showings ever since he was a freshman at K-State. “‘Rocky Horror’ and the K-State Drag Show are my favorite events of the year,” Heinze said. “This is because of the air of positivity and inclusiveness that these events hold.” The unique traditions surrounding “Rocky Horror” showings are a surprise to many. Brant Crank, junior in microbiology, said he was unaware of “Rocky Horror” and all the things that happen during a showing. “I just thought people sat there and watched together, maybe sang along to some songs,” Crank said. After Crank learned what to expect from “Rocky Horror,” he said he is much more interested in attending this year. “It sounds like a fun time, although the ‘virgin’ auctions seem kind of scary,” Crank said.

Finding acceptance: Multicultural students discuss diversity, integration KELSEY KENDALL THE COLLEGIAN
Racism does not always manifest itself as posters promoting white nationalism or a questionable joke on social media. Sometimes, it manifests in the day-to-day experiences of some multicultural students. The Multicultural Alumni Council recently hosted a Student Listening Session on Oct. 13 to give students a platform for discussing issues of diversity and sharing their stories. Sahiba Grover, sophomore in biochemistry, shared an incident when a housemate in the Honors House told her all brown people — referring to Indian people — are radicals. Grover reported the incident to her resident assistant, who she said did nothing to help. The same housemate made a similar comment soon after, calling Grover a foreigner despite her native-born American
students.” These include the Asian American Student Association, Black Student Union, Hispanic American Leadership Organization and Native American Student Association, as well as academic, Greek and religious groups associated with diversity. Mirta Chavez, director of multicultural programs and services and graduate student in counseling, said each of these groups works to promote the Office of Diversity’s mission by providing programming and events that provide a sense of connectivity, community and diversity education for students involved in the organizations as well as the university at large. The Office of Diversity meets with these groups to collaborate on programs and discuss any issues multicultural students may face on campus, thereby providing them with a voice. Chavez said this was evident when K-State provided an im-

citizenship, Grover said. Comments like this have led Grover, an Indian-American, to believe there is a disconnect between multicultural students, their organizations and the general student population, she said. “Being a multicultural student on a campus that’s primarily suburban and rural area-type people, it’s important for minorities to have those people that they can connect with and feel at home with,” Grover said. According to the Office of Diversity’s website, Kansas State has 29 multicultural student organizations that represent “historically underrepresented domestic
migration attorney to give free legal advice for concerned students following President Donald Trump’s announcement of the end of Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals, or DACA. “I’ve been here a long time, and I feel that K-State is truly supportive of the multicultural student population,” Chavez said. “I know that here lately there have been some incidents that clearly concern people, but as a whole, K-State has really done a good job.” However, Grover said she does not believe tensions on campus will be eased until there is more collaboration between the
organizations. “We’re comfortable and happy in our small groups, but we need to expand that so we’re comfortable with everyone,” Grover said. Grover said she would like to see the different multicultural student organizations interact more, raising awareness for all multicultural organizations and allowing the word “diversity” to become more than just a buzzword that makes people happy when there has not been an adequate response to racist actions on campus like what happened to her. “K-State needs to reiterate that we are a family, and this kind of language will not be tolerated against other members of the family,” Grover said. Jessica Elmore, a 2015 K-State graduate and associate director of diversity programs at the Alumni Center, has made an effort to ensure that multicultural students’ voices are heard. Elmore helped organize the Multicultural Alumni Council’s Student Listening Session to have an open conversation regarding diversity and current issues on campus. Elmore’s own experience at K-State has shown that incidents like what Grover faced are not isolated. While she was a student, Elmore went to Lafene Health Center and one of the staff members assumed she was on an athletic scholarship because of her ethnicity. “The things that have happened on campus are new to some people,” Elmore said. “If that’s not your norm of knowing that discriminatory things happen in your own spaces, then yeah, you’re going to say, ‘Oh my gosh, I thought we were so progressive,’ ... but for some, this has not stopped.” Four students spoke at the listening session. Elmore said she would have liked to have seen more, but it was successful for being the first one. Her goal was to create a space where open conversation could be had and students could feel there are people who are willing to listen to them. Nakia Hope, senior in sociology and American ethnic studies, was one of the students who came to discuss her concerns
and support the council’s effort to reach out to current students. “I think it’s important for us to know that we do have a group of people who are fighting for us and fighting to have our thoughts and our voices and our opinions heard,” Hope said. Hope said she has been “privileged” and has not experienced the individual cases of racism like Grover and Elmore shared, but she is still largely affected by the broader examples of hate speech and other racist acts that have gained momentum in the news and social media. Being a student of color on a majority-white campus, Hope said she feels like she always has to represent other multicultural students when she is one of four or five students of color in a class. Because of these situations, she encourages the general population of K-State to “take a backseat” and put themselves in a

problems to put themselves in those spaces just to come and to listen and to try to understand,” Hope said.

Student senate recommends increase for fine arts privilege fee RACHEL HOGAN THE COLLEGIAN
The Student Governing Association introduced legislation recommending an increase to the fine arts privilege fee at their weekly meeting Thursday evening. Legislation was introduced to increase the budget for the fine arts privilege fee. The bill recommends an increase of $5,000 to the current budget of $322,700. If
the bill is approved, the fine arts privilege fee will operate under a budget of $327,700 until it is reviewed again prior to the 2022 fiscal year. According to SGA’s privilege fee breakdown for 20172018, students enrolled in six or more credit hours currently pay $8.43 for their fine arts privilege fee. These funds support McCain Auditorium, the International Student Center, the departments of art, English and music, various student organizations and

the College of Architecture, Planning and Design. According to the bill, the College of Architecture, Planning and Design, McCain Auditorium, the Department of Art, the International Student Center and fine arts student organizations requested and received continuances for their current levels of funding. The Ebony Theatre and the band, orchestra and opera programs in the School of Music, Theatre and Dance requested and received $1,250
increases for script rental and royalty fees. The Department of Communications Studies, the dance program and the theatre program requested an $8,000 dollar increase to cover box office costs and a $1,250 increase for script rental and royalty fees, but only received an increase of $1,250. The Department of English requested a $600 increase, but it was not granted. “We ended up deciding
that the difference that would be made with that six hundred dollars would be negligible at best,” said Jordan Martin, student senator and senior in computer science. Martin also said the increase would raise individual students’ fees by “a pretty small amount, overall” as the fine arts fee accounts for a relatively small portion of the total cost of privilege fees.

SGA continued from page

The bill was referred back to the Privilege Fee Committee. Following last week’s revelation that SGA has not sent resolutions or commendations to their intended recipients for approximately 18 months, the senate introduced a bill to amend SGA’s constitution. If approved, it will become a responsibility of the speaker pro tempore, currently Jonathan Peuchen, senior in mechanical engineering, to “coordinate the process of sending legislation passed by the Student Senate.” As reported by the Collegian last week, this responsibility was previously a duty of a staffer in the senate’s office. The responsibility was moved to the author of the resolution a year and a half ago, though the senate was unaware, said Jordan Kiehl, chief of staff and senior in industrial engineering. As such, resolutions have not been sent to relevant members
of faculty and administration, student organizations, state representatives or senators in what Jack Ayres, student body president and senior in chemical engineering, called an “oversight” and “collective fault.” Stephen Kucera, student support director and graduate student in accounting, said he is working to resolve the oversight. “I’ve been coordinating with our office of governmental relations at K-State to identify the most effective delivery system,” Kucera said. The bill to alter the constitution was referred to the Executive Committee. During the first open period of the meeting, Tim Lindemuth, acting adviser to the Interfraternity Council, Tom Hawk, state senator for Kansas, and Stephanie Bannister, assistant vice president for student life, addressed the senate. Lindemuth said the Interfraternity Council and Panhellenic Council have been granted liability insurance policies from the North-American Interfraternity Council and National Panhellen-
ic Council to replace the support that was previously offered by the university. Hawk offered his predictions and goals for upcoming legislature addressing K-12 education, campus carry and budget shortfalls. “I personally do not believe that guns belong on campus,” Hawk said. “They don’t create the right environment for academics and freedom of thought.” The senate also unanimously approved by a roll call vote an allocation of $1,300 to the National Association for Music Education for the K-State Recorder Workshop. The workshop will take place March 3, 2018 and will feature Anne Timberlake, award-winning recorder player and instructor. The senate also commended the K-State Horse Judging Team for its performance in the All-American Quarter Horse Congress in Ohio earlier this month. The team placed second overall. Next week’s student senate meeting will be held in the Alumni Center.
