Manhattan resident’s car vandalized with racial slurs and threats RACHEL HOGAN RAFAEL GARCIA THE COLLEGIAN
The FBI is now the lead agency investigating the vandalism of a Manhattan resident’s car at a local apartment complex. The car, a black Dodge Avenger with red rims, was found covered Wednesday morning with offensive slurs written in what appears to be yellow paint. The slurs included copious usage of the n-word, the f-word and direct threats to the individual, such as “Come outside to get hanged,” “All n****** must die!!” and “F*** you die dumb n*****!” as well as a swastika painted on the individual’s windshield, as seen on pictures distributed widely through social media. According to a media release from the Riley County Police Department, the incident is being investigated by the FBI as a hate crime. The release lists Dauntarius Williams, 21, as the victim. Initially, it was thought that Williams was a student at Kansas State, though it has since become clear that he is not. Jennifer Tidball, writer and editor for K-State’s Division of Communications and Marketing, said there is “no record of anyone by that name ever attending the university.” The RCPD issued a statement Wednesday morning which said officers immediately investigated the incident at the 2220 block of Claflin Road after receiving the report around 7:25 a.m. The RCPD estimates
h
the vandalism occurred between 1:30 and 3 a.m. Wednesday. University president Richard Myers published a letter in Thursday’s edition of K-State Today in response to the incident. According to the letter, the K-State Police Department will increase patrols and its visible presence on campus. Myers also asked vice president Cindy Bontrager to “conduct a complete audit” of on-campus security cameras in order to develop a strategy to better improve security coverage. “Those who wish us harm should not be allowed to create a culture of fear and divisiveness,” Myers wrote. “As I hear from student leadership following this incident, your message is clear: We need to ensure the safety of those affected by this attack.” K-State also released a statement Wednesday, which said K-State Police is “supporting the investigation.” “Safety of the Kansas State University community is of utmost concern,” the statement read. “Faculty and staff members are encouraged to share this information with students and community members to help the Riley County Police Department with its investigation.” A representative of Prime Place Apartments, the owners of the complex where the vandalism allegedly occurred, said the apartment complex did not have cameras at the location. Later Wednesday morning, three individuals helped Williams remove the slurs from
his car at a local gas station, Ryan Baker, sophomore in food science, said. The vandalism is the latest in a string of discriminatory incidents to hit K-State and the Manhattan area. Last year, a former student caused outrage when she posted a photo of herself and a friend wearing black facial masks covering their faces, captioned with “Feels good to finally be a n****.” In September, various posters promoting white nationalism were found on campus. The K-State community decried the posters and held a rally in support of diversity soon after. In that instance, the university issued a statement condemning the posters as being against the university’s Principles of Community, while at the same time asserting that as a government entity, it had no power or legal right to censor any non-discriminatory posters or speech on campus. Many students and campus leaders demanded that the university should take more extensive action. In October, a homophobic slur was found in Bosco Plaza, but it was removed by campus officials soon after. One week later, a student posted a photo on social media referencing the Ku Klux Klan. Later in October, Ryan Kelly, student senator and sophomore in civil engineering, wrote a report in which he alleged that he was harassed on campus. Kelly claims he reported the incident to K-State Police that but that his report was marginalized and dismissed. Students of color at

K-State have reported feeling increasingly marginalized as a result of what Daijah Porchia, senior in American ethnic studies, said is a “culture that does not defend or take care of the students of color at K-State.” “I’m tired of incidents being treated as though they’re isolated and us having to speak out against the same kinds of incidents over and over,” Porchia said. Austin McGaugh, senior in finance, said these so-called isolated incidents have left multicultural students feeling disenfranchised from the K-State idea of family. “Isolated? That’s fine,” McGaugh said. “We are isolated in the fact that these ‘isolated’ incidents ... affect my family, I’m concerned about those incidents that involves a part of my family. I just feel that if we say one thing, then we should be about that one thing 100 percent. So I have to agree that

ination in Manhattan, while many were not surprised that it happened.

Black Student Union discusses racist incidents STEPHANIE WALLACE THE COLLEGIAN
The Black Student Union held an emergency meeting Wednesday evening in response to racist vandalism found on a Manhattan resident’s car. The meeting allowed students, faculty and Manhattan community members to discuss how they felt about racism on campus and how to combat incidents of racism. Darrell Reese, president of the Black Student Union and junior in mechanical engineering, opened the meeting in the packed Bluemont Room in the Student Union with “Lift Every Voice and Sing,” often referred to as the Black National Anthem, and a recitation the BSU mission statement. Reese then shared his reaction to the vandalism. “I’m shocked to see it at K-State, but it’s something that I continue to see over and over again,” Reese said. “It started back to the blackface incident, to the noose, to the white nationalist posters — the list goes on and on. “We’re getting tired of seeing the same thing pop up every single time, while on the flip side, seeing the same response to it as well,” Reese continued. “Now we’re really at the point ... where we have to see change or else. Because if not, we’re going to see this stuff play out more and more and more.” The rest of the evening was devoted to giving attendees the opportunity to voice their thoughts, state their views and give suggestions on actions that faculty and students can take to make K-State and the surrounding community feel more inclusive. “In order for me to feel safe, I need you to spend some money on cameras,” Laken Horton, junior in mass communications, said. “Buy some
cameras, put up these buildings, because there’s no more excuses of, ‘Oh, there’s no cameras. We don’t know who did it. We have to go based off of witnesses.’ I’m tired of hearing that. So, get cameras. I don’t care what you’ve got to do. Spend the money on it, and I’m good.” Jazmine Dawson, sophomore in biology, said she wants students to write letters to university and state leaders. “Letters are small, but at the same time, they do big things,” Dawson said. “They do wondrous things. I would love to see us have a day where we just sit down and write letters to everybody that we can write letters to and send them off.” Other students reiterated the need for a Multicultural Student Center and encouraged their peers to go to Student Governing Association meetings. Several students demanded to see President Richard Myers attend events that promote and celebrate diversity. Pat Bosco, vice president of student life and dean of students, attended the BSU emergency meeting and addressed President Myers’ absence. “He’s in Washington, D.C., raising money for our university,” Bosco said. “I know that we’ve had a couple of rallies where he’s been off the campus. I guarantee you, next time around, he will be here. He cares. … He’s not dodging the bullet. He’s just trying to do a job that’s complicated.” Bosco also emphasized his support for all students and recognized the faculty and student leaders who attended the meeting. “I’m the one that talks about the family the most,” Bosco said. “The fact that you’re all here … is an example of our family. Your provost is here, our chief academic officer, number two person at
our university, is here. We have several vice presidents in the room. … Our faculty, deans here, and I appreciate the fact that we have so many student leaders here. I appreciate the fact that we got Manhattan community leaders here as well as leaders on our campus.” April Mason, provost and senior vice president at K-State, affirmed that she is committed to helping stop racist incidents on campus. “Kansas State University is better than this,” Mason said. “We are better than this. Let’s continue to talk. Let’s address these issues, and let’s be sure that we hold each and every one of us accountable. It is so, so important. … For those of you who teach, for those of you who are students, let’s work together. My commitment is that we continue to work together, because this must stop.” Bosco highlighted a few of the actions the administration is taking in response to these incidents, including the recruitment of two new diversity officer positions, plans for how to celebrate Martin Luther King Jr. Day and a potential new program to encourage more discussion on these issues. Jess Girdler, community coordinator for Housing and Dining Services, gathered nonblack students after the meeting to discuss actions they can take to be better allies and help students of color. “Our students of color were calling for their peers to take action and do something,” Girdler said. “And I know that sometimes our students who have been privileged don’t know what to do and it felt important to bring them together to talk about what we do next, to do the groundwork to start building something. Our students of color have had to carry this by themselves for far too long. They need their peers to speak up, and not just [in] one instance, but all the time.”

In anticipation of what they considered to be the university’s inevitable statement on the incident, students in the office expressed frustration with the university, stating that the university simply rewords the same generic statement that denounces vandalism for each specific instance. Bernard Franklin, assistant vice president for student life, visited briefly with students in the office Wednesday morning. Before the racist incident became known Wednesday morning, President Myers had announced in a letter Wednesday morning that he asked Franklin to help the university in its transition to “a new leadership structure to strengthen diversity and inclusion at K-State” over the next few weeks. In regards to the racist
incident Wednesday morning, Franklin, who became the university’s first black student body president in the 1970s, declined to make a comment, citing his status as a university administrator. Jessica Elmore, 2015 K-State graduate and associate director of diversity programs at the Alumni Center, also stopped by the office and addressed students. She challenged students to find a community of support, both at K-State and after they graduate. Elmore said racism might be deeply embedded in society, but she pushed students to lead and work to fix the racial issues on campus. On social media, the Black Student Union called for an emergency meeting Wednesday at 7 p.m. in the Bluemont Room of the Student Union to discuss how students can combat incidents of racism on campus. Porchia said she was frustrated at the expectation that it is solely up to students of
color to help eradicate any racial tension on campus. “I don’t know [what we’re expected to do], and that’s unfair for us to be saddled with that work,” Porchia said. “What do you want us to do? Why are the victims of these heinous acts being asked to do the work? Even when we tell you that nothing changes — if I sit and talk to a brick wall for five years, I’m going to get tired of saying the same thing, that nothing changes. “There’s been several things, and several statements,” Porchia continued. “Just look at the past five, six, seven incidents. Look at what we’ve been putting on paper, on social media, in the news — all of the answers are there. A lot of students of color, especially the black community, are at the point where we feel we’ve said everything we can say about stuff like this and either something is going to change, or it’s not. And it hasn’t. If the school wanted to prioritize it, it would be. It hasn’t.”

SGA postpones legislation to ignite discussion on racial controversy
CONRAD KABUS THE COLLEGIAN
The Student Governing Association postponed all of its legislative agenda items to its next meeting in order to deliberate over cultural competency and student safety issues on campus Thursday evening. The main focus of con-
versation was the controversy surrounding the racist threats and slurs that were discovered on a Manhattan resident’s car off-campus We d n e s d a y morning. The vandalism discussed at the SGA meeting is the latest in a string of discriminatory incidents that have affected K-State. Last year, an alleged noose was found hanging in an on-campus tree during “dead week,” the week before final exams. Earlier this fall, various posters promoting white nationalism were found on campus. In October, a homophobic slur was found in Bosco Student Plaza but was removed by campus officials soon after.
A week later, a student posted a photo on social media referencing the Ku Klux Klan. At the meeting, Tendai Munyani, speaker pro tempore and senior in management, asked members of the senate to take a moment of silence while he read the derogatory statements written on the vandalized car out loud. Bernard Franklin, assistant vice president of student life and executive director of the K-State College Advising Corps, spoke about how prejudiced acts influence student life and the campus community. Franklin said he has witnessed racist acts influencing families who are concerned over student safety on campus. “Our position is to help all students,” Franklin said. “I strongly urge you to do better and to overpower the hatred. This should be one of our highest priorities.” Several students and community members spoke about their personal experiences and
stances on racism as an issue on campus. “Don’t let our reputation be sullied,” Franklin said. “This will impact our ability to recruit students of all stripes. Families of all races are calling me and saying, ‘I’m not putting my child in a racist institution.’ We all have to take a role in this.” Franklin said he will work closely with K-State administrators through the end of the fall semester in creating cultural competency programs for the university. “This is the only campus that has ever felt like home, and right now it doesn’t feel like home,” Edwin Butler Jr., sophomore in sociology, said. Butler asked senators to address issues like racism and vandalism “head-on.” Jack Ayres, student body president and senior in chemical engineering, said the recent discriminatory incidents at K-State should not be tolerated. “Take this seriously,” Ayres
said. “The future of our university depends on it.” Many initiatives are currently being organized on campus to increase community dialogue and cultural competency. Aliah Mestrovich Seay, new youth and adult audiences specialist with Kansas 4-H, spoke on reaching out to more diverse audiences at the SGA meeting. “The voice of many people weighing in is what this initiative could be,” Seay said. “We needed this yesterday, and we are working on this tool with campus leaders.” Ryan Kelly, student senator and sophomore in civil engineering, wrote a report earlier in the week, in which he alleged that he was harassed on campus. Kelly said he reported the incident to the K-State Police Department but that his claims were marginalized and dismissed. “We need to continue the momentum, and we can’t let the momentum die,” Kelly said. “We’ve had conversa-
tions like this before, and we need to make sure SGA is held accountable. I think just hearing the stories firsthand in the room will hopefully change the atmosphere of the student senate and change it for the better.” Several student senators and community members broke off into committees to share personal testimonies and discuss actions that student senators believe should be taken on campus. Actions proposed by senators for the university include using Greek chapter time for multicultural speakers and holding a student rally with speakers such as Franklin and Pat Bosco, vice president for student life and dean of students. “We’re done,” Franklin said in his closing statement to the student senate. “It’s over. This is your university, you take it. If you don’t do something, our enrollment will continue to go down, and that burden will fall on the students.”
Día de los Muertos festivities invite public to Beach Museum of Art IAN JACOBSON THE COLLEGIAN
The Beach Museum of Art hosted a public event Thursday to celebrate the Mexican holiday Día de los Muertos, or Day of the Dead. The celebration featured art, music, food and traditions from Mexico and various other Hispanic cultures. “Traditionally, Nov. 2 is the last day of the celebration and it would be the day that everybody would eat all the food that had been left on the altar, so we’re kind of following tradition,” said Katherine Schlageck, associate curator of education for the Beach Museum. Along with snacking on a layout of salsa, pico de gallo and chili verde, attendees partook in sugar skull mask making, jewelry crafting and contributing to the altar in honor of the dead. “I really love Halloween,
and I’ve also always been into the Day of the Dead, so I came to see the celebration,” said Jerusha Matthews, research assistant at the K-State Veterinary Diagnostic Lab. Although the Day of the Dead is commonly affiliated with Halloween, Schlageck said the celebration was originally a combination of Catholic traditions brought by the Conquistadors mixed with the culture of the indigenous peoples in Mexico. “I think if you look at other cultures like Celtic culture or Samhain, where our Halloween traditions [come] from, it’s the same idea where it’s the night that the spirits walk the earth,” Schlageck said. “The difference was [in Celtic culture] it was considered scary, whereas with Day of the Dead it’s more of a celebration of your ancestry and loved ones.” Andrew Hammond, junior
in mass communications, also attended the event. “I had never been to the Beach Museum before, so I figured I’d come culture myself,” Hammond said. The Beach Museum is currently displaying the exhibit “Fronteras/Frontiers,” featuring the work of Artemio Rodríguez and Fidencio Fifield-Perez, two nationally recognized Hispanic artists. The exhibit features Día de los Muertos-themed prints from Rodríquez’s Grafico Móvil, or his “museum on wheels” that was featured at K-State from Oct. 3–6. “We’re always looking to bring in new audiences and diverse audiences, and we felt like this show was a good chance to reach out,” Linda Duke, director of the Beach Museum, said. “Fronteras/Frontiers” will be on display at the Beach Museum until April 1 of next year.

‘Into the Woods’ opens this weekend in Mark A. Chapman Theatre
Katelin Woods | COLLEGIAN MEDIA GROUP
E.H. Petropulos, graduate student in music, and Samantha Williams, sophomore in vocal performance, rehearse for the production of “Into the Woods” at the Mark A. Chapman Theatre in Manhattan, Kan. on Oct. 25, 2017.
KATELIN WOODS THE COLLEGIAN
Do the ends justify the means? Or will the means come back to haunt you? This is the very predicament the characters of “Into the Woods” face in pursuit of their desires. The musical, book by James Lapine and music by
Stephen Sondheim, features our favorite childhood fairy tale characters as they intertact throughout their individual quests. The production will run in the Mark A. Chapman Theatre from Nov. 2 through Nov. 12 under the direction of Jerry Jay Cranford, assistant professor in the School of Music, Theatre, and Dance. Cranford further explained
the musical’s plot in his director’s note in the production’s program. “In the first act, Sondheim and Lapine focus on the various personal, often selfish journeys to ‘happily ever after,’ using familiar fairy tale characters,” Cranford wrote. “In Act II, the characters must grow up when faced with the realization that ‘happily ever after’ is never permanent. They must return to
Green Action Fund helps students make campus green EMILY MOORE
THE COLLEGIAN
There is paperless record keeping at the Recreation Center. Green Apple Bikes are sprinkled across campus. Both of these were projects conceptualized by students and made a reality with financial support from the Green Action Fund. Each year the Green Action Fund Committee assesses applications from students, who fill out a proposal and
present to the committee. The committee then determines whether or not the project will be funded. A key part of this funding is that projects are encouraged to be student-led, said Matt Mindrup, junior in biology and philosophy and student director of sustainability. “It’s a student-centered project, so it’s funded by students and it’s for students to make our campus more sustainable, our world more sustainable, and really bring fo-
cus to how we can do that as a university,” Mindrup said.

the woods and work together as a community to survive.” Performing this two-hourlong production is no easy task, and it requires a strong and talented cast, crew and director. “Director Cranford loves to add moments where you wouldn’t think there would be one,” said Kelly Urschel, senior in vocal performance and actor in the production. “It has never been about the spectacle with him; it’s all about the genuine human interactions. Musicals are so fast-paced, but he has found ways to pause and create those drawing moments.” Anthony Bandy, sophomore in vocal performance and actor in the production, shared how expectional the cast and crew is. “Everyone involved is very creative and motivated to be the best they can be,” Bandy said. “People really are passionate about the arts here, and everyone fits their roles so well. Our director never fails to give constructive feedback in a way that is both productive and loving.” With every production there are challenges, especially with “Into the Woods” being as extensive and elaborate as it is. Evan Brandt, a sophomore in theatre and actor in the production, said the biggest difficulty he faced was finding his individual sound.
“The hardest part about this production has been finding my voice,” Brandt said. “That is something I’m still struggling with. Sometimes I have to ask myself, is it myself singing, or is it me replicating someone else? Finding that unique sound is difficult, but being in this production has helped me grow towards my goal.” Brandt is not alone his experience with Sondheim’s intricate music. Lauren Taylor, sophomore in musical theatre and actor in the production, said the music has challenged her. “The most challenging part about this production is the music,” Taylor said. “Sondheim is a really tricky composer. He is very wordy and has a lot of weird rhythms and time changes that he loves to do. I’m also not typically a soprano, so the tendency for Cinderella’s vocals to be written higher was challenging for me to adjust and rehearse.” Taylor said being pushed helped her flourish as a performer. “I feel like this show helped me grow as a performer because it gave me an acting opportunity that I had not yet been exposed to,” Taylor said. “It was new and interesting for me to play a softer kind of character, since I hadn’t experienced that before. That, along with the higher vocal
range, presented a really fun and new experience for me.” While theatrical performance is a complicated craft, it also serves a platform to share human perspectives, Urschel said. “Theatre really has the ability to make people uncomfortable, in a good way,” Urschel said. “We are showing people all aspects of humanity. It shows you a different perspective, the good and the bad. ‘Into the Woods’ is no exception to this. It doesn’t push the mistakes the characters make to the side; it acknowledges them and shows the humanity behind their actions.” Taylor said she encourages people to see the performance because it has something to offer for everyone. “People should come see ‘Into the Woods’ because it’s a classic musical that has something for everyone,” Taylor said. “No matter your favorite fairy tale character, I think people are sure to enjoy going on a journey with each character, as well as find some meaning for themselves that they can take away from the experience.” For more information on Kansas State University theatre performances and to purchase tickets, visit http://www.k-state. edu/theatre/.

Ramin Rostampour, senior in civil engineering, sent the committee the proposal for a paperless record keeping system at the Recreation Center. Rostampour said the reason it is important students be involved in all parts of the process is because it helps them be a part of the green movement on campus. “Students need to have as much of a stake as possible because, not only is it to make campus greener, but it’s to teach students about how green-ification works,” Rostampour said. The submissions for the
Green Action Fund have increased in numbers over the years, but Rostampour said his goal is to make the fund more well known in order to help get more submissions. “I’m looking at ways for people to know more about it, but also be green,” Rostampour said. “So printing a million flyers and putting them up would not be the greenest way to go about that.” Another project funded with Green Action support was the arrival of Green Apple Bikes on campus specifically. Alex Bentzinger, former K-State student and president of Bentz Creative, worked with a partner to get funding through the Green Action Fund to include K-State’s campus in the bike sharing service. Bentzinger said
students should not get too overwhelmed by the process or the idea because the idea does not have to be revolutionary in order to be helpful or important. “I guess I wouldn’t recommend that people get stuck inside of their box, that it needs to look a certain way, like some big technology piece,” Bentzinger said. Additionally, Mindrup reminds students of the purpose of this organization: to fund the ideas of students, allowing them to contribute to the green movement without requiring the use of personal funds. “This is a great opportunity for them to get funding for projects and get experience carrying those out without having that burden of how they’re going to finance it,” Mindrup said.

Higher education ‘in crisis,’ USCB professor says in lecture MADISON OBERMEYER THE COLLEGIAN
A professor from the University of California, Santa Barbara gave a public talk on the framework of public higher education in Regnier Hall on Thursday. The lecture, titled “What Do Universities Do?: Paths Out of the Continuing Crisis,” traced key current problems in higher education and discussed how a full recovery would work and how voters can benefit from affordable higher education. Christopher Newfield, a professor of literature and American studies at UCSB, lectured on how higher education continues to be reshaped by social and economic forces. Newfield’s lecture was sponsored by the Department of English and its graduate track in cultural studies. Newfield began by painting a general picture of higher education’s “plight.” “One message today is all public universities are unhappy in the same way,” Newfield said. “We face the same problems across the U.S. We’re in this together.” Newfield said if we can create a conversation about the status of higher education, we will have public support that goes beyond the sports teams that universities are most often celebrated for. “The path out has shortterm strategies, but I think there’s a long-term path we may have to forge,” Newfield said. “It involves explaining to ourselves and also to the public what universities do. We are obligated to become responsible for how the shape of the future university looks.” Following cuts to higher education funding and tuition hikes, Newfield said the premise of the current situation is that the state will not fund buildings, people or salaries because, while the market term “public” is associated with welfare, the term “private” is associated with hustle. Newfield said the market consensus shows that adding private funds — and discipline —
improves public institutions. “Markets discriminate on the basis of price,” Newfield said. “That’s the point of them: you get what you pay for. Universities are not private goods. We must not treat them as such, or else we will screw them up.” Downplaying the university’s public good status, or consenting to privatization, wrecks the university and lowers its social value, Newfield said. Privatization does not support a public good partnership between the university and society — it blocks it. “People say it’s okay that we have high tuition because now we have high financial aid,” Newfield said. “The problem with this argument is that it’s not actually true. Universities call loans financial aid as much as they call grants financial aid. They don’t know that the financial aid students are receiving is a loan with a 6.7 percent interest rate.” Newfield said the U.S. is the only wealthy country that has reduced the educational attainment of one generation compared to that of their parents. “We’re doing a really dumb thing,” Newfield said. Moreover, Newfield con-
tinued, the idea that increased productivity leads to increased hourly compensation is not ringing true. This problem was once suffered only by blue-collar workers — it is now extending to college graduates. In addition to outlining the problems plaguing higher education, Newfield introduced possible paths to recovery. “We can’t just keep patching up the framework we have,” Newfield said. “Universities are around to create original and disseminate confirmed knowledge ... in the context of an always-evolving professional practice for the full democratization of intelligence.” Newfield said there is nothing original about the 21st-century skills students should be receiving at college. However, not everyone is receiving that same opportunity. The best way to improve educational attainment for people of color and minorities is to take them out of traditional courses and place them in online classes, Newfield said.

OPINION: What can K-State do to fight bigotry? KYLE HAMPEL
THE COLLEGIAN
Are we done yet? Hardly a week has gone by in the past few months without some kind of bigoted vandalism or racist episode occurring in Manhattan. I think I speak for every journalist in the area when I say that I’m so damn tired of reporting on these same incidents over and over again. As much as I love to com-
plain — it’s why I’m the opinion editor — the good citizens of Manhattan still have to respond somehow to each of these incidents, one after another. I’m loving the solidarity events and the public declarations of unity by the good-natured folks among us, but one thing I see all too often is the idea that the Kansas State administration needs to take “further action.” I know why people want K-State to help — they are a

school, and thus they should be responsible for the lives of their students. But something is always nagging at me when I see this kind of outcry. What can K-State actually do about bigotry? What actions can the administration take to punish or discourage the people responsible for vandalizing and terrorizing minority citizens? I wish K-State could do something, and I think the administration wishes it could help, too. But in many of the incidents of social injustice that have received a public outcry this year, there is very little justice the university can provide. The main issue is with anonymity of the perpetrators. The major incidents that have occurred this year were mostly committed by unknown persons in the dead of night only to be discovered the next morning. Additionally, K-State has no jurisdiction off-campus due to its status as a public university. Unless a bigoted action is committed on-campus or by an identified student, there isn’t much K-State can do beyond the usual strongly-worded press releases. I’m as sick of K-State’s copy-and-pasted press releases as anyone, but when people ask for “further action,” what does that entail? The university can’t possibly expel everyone who causes a social outrage, especially when most of these outrages are off-campus or caused by anonymous nobodies who may not even be students. I suppose K-State could make an example out of the students who are publicly outed for insensitive remarks to dissuade the more insidious students from committing worse crimes, but this could have several negative outcomes. The biggest issue is that this would be more ammo for bigots in Manhattan. If every student who makes a tasteless joke on

Bigots tend to justify their
beliefs by pointing fingers at evidence of “injustice,” usually by arguing that the act of expelling students who say bad things and don’t directly harm any persons or property is a violation of free speech. There’s no way to win, and the administration’s hands are tied.
On top of that, expelling insensitive students who publicly cause a ruckus might be disproportionately reprimanding them for their crimes.

OPINION: Meditation apps provide private therapy for students MADISON OBERMEYER of energy drinks and a whole THE COLLEGIAN
At around the same time each semester, the days and weeks begin to simultaneously quicken and drudge on, like an anxiety-ridden roller coaster. The concept of an approaching finals week chokes the students who have thought all semester, “That’s not due until November, I’ve got time.” The result of this realization? Stress, junk food, weird sleeping habits, increased consumption
OPINION continued from page
14
While things like vandalism are obviously criminal, an insensitive joke, statement or idea is often caused more by ignorance than actual malice. To put it another way, I think there’s an important difference between “hate speech” and what one might call “ignorant speech.” For many individuals, insensitivity is an ill that can be cured. As an educational institution, the healthier but less authoritative option may be for K-State to reeducate insensitive students with racial and gender sensitivity training. Any student expelled for a callous remark will seethe in hatred for years, cursing the institution that unjustly ruined them while anonymous extremists continue to thrive in the shadows. Education is the best tool to help people realize the errors of their ways and fight bigotry at its source. With mass expulsions off the table, maybe the solution is to catch more people in the act of social injustice. Unfortunately, that’s not feasible right now, and I’m not sure if I even want it to be feasible in the future.
lot of anxiety. Being on a college budget frequently deters students from accessing mental health resources on campus. The first few visits may be free at counseling centers, but what happens when a student can’t cover the copay, or their insurance won’t pick up the cost? Are we expected to drop all our bad habits and just start feeling better? This is where technology comes in.
Yes, there are security cameras on the K-State campus, but according to the university’s website, “Cameras are placed in strategic locations on campus, including some buildings and parking lots.” The wording of this statement and the complete lack of further information on campus security cameras leads me to believe that there aren’t very many of them. So the obvious solution is to install more cameras, right? While I certainly think the campus does need more security cameras — I don’t think I’ve ever even seen one — there comes a point where it’s too much. One of the biggest debates of the Information Age is whether we as a society want to prioritize privacy and liberty or security and safety. While that in itself is a topic for another opinion article, it’s important to think about what security measures would be required to catch anonymous bigots in the act of vandalism on this campus. We would need dozens (if not hundreds) of cameras to cover every inch of campus. These cameras would all need to be monitored and maintained. If a perpetrator slips past the cameras, mandatory
Most would believe that being on the brink of a breakdown would warrant a technology detox. However, meditation apps — programs to help listeners work through stress and anxiety or even boost happiness and productivity — might be exactly what Kansas State students need. We are already on our phones 24/7. We already subject ourselves to obscene amounts of artificial light before falling asleep — if you don’t scroll through social
questioning and screening of dozens (if not hundreds) of individuals would be needed before K-State could officially “catch the bad guy.” This hypothetical future K-State wouldn’t make me feel safe, it would make me feel scrutinized. Even as someone with nothing to hide, I would hate feeling like I was the center of a security guard’s attention every time I walked home late at night. Oh, and do I even need to mention the effect this heightened security would have on the university’s already dwindling budget? I want K-State to bring in staff and students that accurately represent the diversity of the state, and I want K-State to include race and gender as topics in mandatory education courses for all students. But at the end of the day, the university can’t do everything. At some point, it’s someone else’s problem. Kyle Hampel is the reviews and opinion editor for the Collegian and a junior in English.

media before going to bed, who are you? So why not lay our phones next to our ears and listen to a soothing voice telling us how to breathe so we don’t have a panic attack in the middle of a midterm and run out of class? Most meditation apps offer free trials. Others have specific listening programs that are free with others you can access through a subscription or upgrade. A handful of apps available are Calm, OMG I Can Meditate, Smiling Mind
and Aura. Even if a student doesn’t want to admit to themselves that staying up until 4 a.m. with a rapidly beating heart because they can’t stop thinking about due dates is behavior that warrants a trip to a counselor, these calming apps can be the most private form of therapy. Who knows, maybe a few months down the road when you’re sipping hot chocolate and sitting next to a Christmas tree or a menorah, you can delete the app off of your phone
and pretend that a mental breakdown never happened. That’s the beauty of technology: soothing your mental health issues in total privacy. That’s the modern student.

Wildcats look for win against Texas Tech AVERY OSEN
THE COLLEGIAN
The Kansas State football team will attempt to win backto-back games for the first time since early September on Saturday when they travel to Lubbock, Texas, to take on Texas Tech. K-State is coming into the game hot off a 30-20 win against the University of Kansas last weekend. The Wildcats’ record is currently 4-4 for the season. At last week’s post-game press conference, head football coach Bill Snyder talked about the team’s conversations after
GO CATS!
the game against KU. “Most of the conversation and dialogue was about what we need to do to become a better football team, as well as the pluses and the minuses from the game,” Snyder said. “We spent some time on that, then we spent some time on the upcoming opponent, Texas Tech. Mondays are far different than what they normally have been. That is ... because of the time element and how much time we are afforded by the NCAA.”

Know your opponent: Texas Tech Red Raiders NATHAN ENSERRO THE COLLEGIAN
The Kansas State football team will head to Lubbock, Texas, to take on Texas Tech this Saturday. Texas Tech and K-State are both sitting at 4-4 records this season, and the winner of this game will have an inside route to bowl game eligibility. What can the Wildcats expect from the Red Raiders this weekend? The Red Raiders currently boast a similar offense to the old Texas Tech teams coached by Mike Leach that caught the Big 12 by surprise in the late 2000s. In fact, current head coach Kliff Kingsbury’s time as quarterback for Texas Tech overlapped with Leach’s tenure as head coach. Kingsbury’s offense is reminiscent of the “Air Raid Offense” that Leach and Hal Mumme developed. It is a speed-based passing offense that focuses on getting the football out to a talented receiver on the edge. Texas Tech’s offense is usually a bad matchup for the K-State
defense. This year, it looks especially bad for K-State. Senior quarterback Nic Shimonek’s intelligence and decision-making are what make this offense work so well. K-State will have to pressure Shimonek into making bad reads, but if K-State has to blitz linebackers and safeties to get pressure on Shimonek, the Wildcats will struggle all day. This means the Wildcats will have to do something they have struggled with all season if they want a chance: they will have to pressure the quarterback with the defensive ends. If the defensive ends can get to the backfield, that will free up the linebackers to help make tackles on short outside passes. That support will allow the cornerbacks and safeties to feel more secure and go after the ball. It would also be beneficial to play a more of a press coverage — the cornerbacks closer to the line of scrimmage — to stop bubble screens and disrupt the timed routes of the Texas Tech offense. Expect junior cornerback D.J. Reed to be used in an attempt to shut down
Texas Tech’s leading receiver, Keke Coutee. On defense, Texas Tech’s defensive coordinator, David Gibbs, is in his third year. He has been coaching in the NCAA and the NFL for 24 years — 10 of those were as defensive coordinator, the rest as a defensive back’s coach. Considering K-State’s uncertainty in the quarterback position, the offense’s matchup actually bodes well for the Wildcats. The running backs are a strength for K-State, and with the possibility of redshirt freshman quarterback Skylar Thompson making his first start, K-State should play to that strength. Thompson would only start if sophomore quarterback Alex Delton hasn’t recovered from the injuries that knocked him out of the game against the University of Kansas. Head coach Bill Snyder has given no indication that Delton has lingering injuries. Even with Delton at the helm, K-State will still need to run the ball and strike a balance between the quarterback run and the running back run game. Gibbs’ defense sits at seventh in

OKLAHOMA — AUSTIN SEIBERT Bon Jovi. He’s “Livin’ on a Prayer” and comes into the game with a good leg. The best thing about Seibert and Bon Jovi is that they’re able to show that they are indeed “Wanted Dead or Alive.” Seibert continues to have a shock and awe value, and he is sure to have some records coming underneath his belt.
TEXAS TECH — MICHAEL BARDEN
Twisted Sister. Highly anticipated and wild. If you say the Red Raiders will have a low-scoring game, “We’re Not Gonna Take It.” It’s one of those bands that has a lot of potential throughout. Barden’s longest field goal this year is 47 yards, but maybe he will end the year saying “I Wanna Rock” and the leg will come through.
grunge band. Alice N’ Chains was a band that only lasted one year in the ‘80s and only released two demos. Likewise, Song has only attempted seven field goals this season, but he’s made all seven kicks even though his longest was only 39 yards. Alice N’ Chains never really had any hits — they were mostly a cover band — but one member of the band did go on to join the more popular band, Alice in Chains.
TEXAS CHRISTIAN — JONATHAN SONG
KANSAS — GABRIEL RUI
Alice N’ Chains. No, not Alice in Chains, the ‘90s
Def Leppard. Rui is hitting 90.9 percent of his
kicks, but has only tried 11 field goals. That’s still some of the best consistency in the conference, and Def Leppard (at least in the ‘80s) was one of the most consistent hair metal bands. They released four albums in the ‘80s, and all four records went platinum.

BANDS continued from page
K-STATE — MATTHEW MCCRANE 17
Amendola is sure to “Kickstart Your Heart” and be your “Dr. Feelgood” when it comes to scoring that field goal. Even though they’re also considered a pioneer of glam metal, Motley Crue is still epic and well known, but can be kind of buried because of their competition.
BAYLOR — CONNOR MARTIN
XYZ. Martin often gets forgotten about when talking about kickers, but he’s knocked 87.5 percent of his field goals in. Likewise, unless you are a glam metal aficionado, you probably forgot about XYZ. They only churned out one record in the ‘80s and four overall, but they did tour with Alice Cooper and released an album with Capitol Records.
Kiss. The greatest, most well-known hair band of all time. Kiss and McCrane have something in common: they are both leading in their own worlds. They have both been considered for awards, and they’ve both come back and surprised many. Just like Kiss with hair metal, McCrane is the best kicker in the conference, and he is the only kicker that is a semifinalist for the Lou Groza Award. After looking at McCrane’s comeback, he definitely wants to “Rock and Roll All Nite.”
TEXAS — JOSHUA ROWLAND
Warrant. This band started off slow — they didn’t blow up until the single “Heaven” was released in 1989. Likewise, Rowland started off slow. He missed his first two field goals of the year, but has recovered, going 7-11 since. Once Warrant got rolling, it became one of the bigger bands in the glam metal scene.
★★★★★★★★★★
IOWA STATE — GARRETT OWENS
Frehley’s Comet. Ace Frehley left Kiss and started his own band before eventually going solo. Frehley was a huge star, but when he’s brought up in conversation, all that really comes up is Kiss and his solo music. Likewise, Iowa State has exploded onto the national scene, but no one pays attention to their kicker who is quietly making field goals at a 69.2 percent clip and has not missed an extra point.
SATISFACTION
AWAITS
PROUD SPONSOR OF K-STATE SPORTS
WEST VIRGINIA — MIKE MOLINDA
Whitesnake. Molinda is one of only four seniors on this list, and Whitesnake was kind of the “old guys” of glam rock. Forming in 1978 and disbanding (although not permanently) in 1990, they were around for the entirety of the ‘80s. In fact, lead singer David Coverdale had already had success with Deep Purple and gone solo for a while before forming Whitesnake.
