Going green: Campus club encourages student environmental action EMILY MOORE
THE COLLEGIAN
Environmental issues are considered a controversial topic by many, but the Students for Environmental Action club not only discusses climate change and other ecological problems at Kansas State, it actively tries to fix them. Mary Conner, SEA vice president and junior in horticulture, said the fact that some people can be “apathetic” or opposed to environmental sustainability is one of the club’s bigger challenges. “People don’t like change,” Conner said. “If you can’t see how improvements would be better, whether that be in cleaner energy or sustainable agriculture, if you can’t see that changing things would be for the greater good, then I think it’s hard to want that.” SEA holds meetings every Tuesday evening to teach club members different ways of being proactive about climate change in their daily lives. The meetings are held at 7:30 p.m. in Hale Library, Room 301. SEA recently hosted Joshua Svaty, former Secretary of Agriculture in Kansas and a current
Democratic candidate for Kansas governor, to speak about his environmental platform on Nov. 7. Amber Berg, SEA president and junior in regional and community planning, said the event with Svaty was an easy way to encourage students to make an impact on the environment. “We just thought it would be a good time,” Berg said. “This governor race is a really good opportunity to get a lot of students involved at the state level very easily.” Conner said Svaty’s platform talks about using sustainable agriculture methods while maintaining ties to rural Kansas. Because Svaty’s platform is based around sustainability, Conner said the club was “definitely on board for some of his ideas about the future.” Allyssa Decker, graduate student in environmental design and planning, said Svaty coming to speak was a beneficial event that focused on environmental problems within the state of Kansas. These problems can be issues regarding water usage or soil erosion. “I think it was great for the people in our group who are from Kansas to see that there are politicians out there that re-
ally care about the environment and care about trying to find progressive solutions for some of the major issues that Kansas is experiencing,” Decker said. Another way SEA helps its members learn about environmental issues is to show documentaries like “Before the Flood” or “Bag It.” Conner said one of the bigger movements the club is working on is trying to put a ban on plastic shopping bags at K-State to help limit the university’s plastic use. “It’s still very much in the early works, but it’s something our whole group is pretty passionate about,” Conner said. “We might be teaming up with a member of SGA to do a styrofoam ban, which is also very early in the works.” Conner said the shopping bags at K-State could be switched out for paper instead of plastic. “It’s such an easy switch,” Conner said. Another activity the club is working toward is developing an energy report for the university’s older buildings. Berg said the end goal will be to show the university that buildings can be made more energy efficient and still save the university money. “We just look through and inventory the energy use of older
SGA denies budget increase for Collegian Media Group, introduces tax plan resolution ABBY DENSHAW THE COLLEGIAN
During the Student Governing Association’s meeting on Nov. 9, the Collegian Media Group made a final attempt to secure a budget increase and was denied. Various resolutions were also discussed by the student senate. Rafael Garcia, co-editorin-chief of the Collegian and
junior in print journalism, said the Collegian Media Group would like to create more digital content but cannot afford to do so under its current budget due to inflation and increased costs of operation. “Print makes money, but all of it goes back into printing the paper,” Garcia said. “As every cost goes up, the overall budget cuts hurt our students.” To move in a digital di-
rection, the Collegian would have to focus less on its printed publications, but the advertising in the print edition provides a large source of the group’s revenue, Garcia said. Garcia said the print editions of the Collegian bring in a profit of $80,000. Meanwhile, publishing online yields only $10,000 in profit.

The group sometimes participates in game day recycling, where they recycle materials left at Bill Snyder Family Stadium after a football game. SEA also holds a “green week” between Earth Day and Arbor Day. “It’s ... a week of a bunch of different events geared toward sustainability,” Conner said.
Decker said the actions the club encourages can also be as small as day-to-day activities. “I think the biggest thing that goes a long way is just learning about little, everyday things we can do to help live a more sustainable lifestyle,” Decker said. Decker said this member education on day-to-day routines varies from recycling common objects to making reusable grocery bags. “I showed a video on how to make reusable bags out of old T-shirts, and it’s little things like
that that go a long way,” Decker said. Conner encourages any interested students to become a part of SEA. Conner said student leadership is important for developing an environmentally sustainable university. “If you’re interested in helping the planet in any facet, we’re a very student-led organization,” Conner said. “If you have any ideas about changes that need to be made or could be made on campus, we love hearing those out.”

Letter to the editor: Cultural immersion classes should be required Even though it was found out to be a hoax, the act committed by Dauntarius Williams on Nov. 1 has caused great harm to the Manhattan community. What started off as a “prank” ended up causing division and turmoil within the Kansas State family, and this man wasn’t even a student at the university. Nevertheless, it brings up
a great discussion about race and racism on our campus, and the university canceled class for a “KSUnite” event on Nov. 14. While I hope something good comes from this, there needs to be a concrete plan to help change the culture on campus. One way to tackle this is to add a cultural immersion class as part of K-State’s required classes. Not only will
it help to educate students on the many different cultures and backgrounds that exist on campus, but it would help to bring a cultural change that K-State needs in times like this. There is a class like this already offered at K-State: American Ethnic Studies 160 (AMETH 160). This class would prepare students about the many different
cultures and ethnicities that exist in the world, especially the ones that attend school here at K-State. Not only that, but in a country that is getting more diverse as the years pass on, it’ll be helpful after college as well, providing students with the knowledge they’ll need to live in a diverse society. Not to mention, it’s already a course on the K-State 8,
so students wouldn’t have to take an extra class to fulfill the requirement. All in all, it’s a great opportunity for students to learn more about diversity, and I hope that if K-State really wants to make a change to the climate around campus, this is one of the changes they’ll make. It would really help K-State unite and make for a more
inclusive and diverse family. Raushaid Penn is a senior in mass communications. The views and opinions expressed in this letter are those of the author and do not necessarily reflect the official policy or position of the Collegian. Please send comments to opinion@kstatecollegian. com.
OPINION: Languages budget could harm multicultural campus MADISON OBERMEYER and lecture” style of language THE COLLEGIAN
Seven years ago, I was entranced by the whimsical gurglings of the French language. For four years, I walked into my high school’s only French classroom where my teacher, a Kansas State graduate, transported us to another world as we dipped into French culture with daily songs and images of homely towns. On my first day at K-State, I nervously wandered into my French IV class, book in hand. Intrigued by the new “textbook
learning, I was comforted by the familiar verb conjugations and ubiquitous distaste of gendered nouns. Every Tuesday and Thursday, I revel in the bizarreness of discussing things like trudging through quicksand outside of a centuries-old monastery with my fellow French classmates. Foreign language classrooms take on many different identities throughout the language learning process. Now, stoic in the face of reality, the Department of Modern Languages is calling to arms those of us who recognize the importance of
learning foreign languages in an advancing world. I was appalled when students sitting around a horseshoe table stared at a sheet of paper professing the state of reality we all must be aware of — the department faces extreme budget callbacks. Bolded headings on the handout encouraged modern languages students to write letters to the administration, to get family involved, to call and voice concern, to involve the community and organizations, to chalk the campus — to do anything, really. The Department of Mod-
ern Languages not only helps to create an inclusive, multicultural student body, but it also equips students with a highly sought after skillset in a millennial job market. According to a Forbes article, fluency in a high-demand, low-supply language gives job applicants a competitive advantage in the workforce over people who only speak one language. If the proposed budget callbacks go through, all language classes would be affected, and some would even be shut down. The future of K-State graduates’ success would be dilapidated. Language is the root of
communication and history, so why should the administration be able to tell us that our passion is not marketable, or that years of intense dedication are useless in a STEM-focused world? Is the administration saying that there is a hierarchy of higher education, and we don’t make the cut? To those deciding our future, have you ever tasted history in your mouth? Modern languages students experience cultural syncretism every day we gather in the classroom and every night we spend conjugating, reading and speaking. Your words carry the
weight of thousands of students’ futures. Make sure your decision is heard and comprehended by all the cultures and languages represented at our multicultural, united campus.

OPINION: America has forgotten how to have a respectful debate JASON DEFISHER THE COLLEGIAN
Debate has been a core value of American society for many years. Whether we are deciding what movie to see with our friends or deciding the next president of the United States, debate is an essential part of obtaining different viewpoints. However, I believe that in the past few years, debate as we know it has met its end. The first nail in debate’s coffin is the rise of "ad hominem" fallacies. Ad hominem, Latin for "to the person," is a direct attack on a person with an
opposing viewpoint. Well-known, recent examples of ad hominem fallacies include phrases such as “nasty woman” and “basket of deplorables.” Attacking the person you are debating with (or their supporters) lends no credence to your argument, and runs the risk of lending a poor image to your side of the debate. Ad hominem fallacies are a major problem no matter where they appear in the debate, but many people jump to personal attacks at the beginning of their arguments. Leading with an attack on the person who is attempting to engage in a debate
with you signals that you have no option other than to yell louder than your opponent. Ad hominem attacks serve no purpose other than to belittle one’s opponent to the point where they simply quit trying to debate. At this point, the person who used the personal attacks claims “victory” because they somehow outlasted their opponent. This “victory” is hollow and unearned, as no logical argument was ever put forth, and no solution to a problem was ever found. Another killer of debates is a lack of credible sources. Many people come to a debate well
prepared, but their sources are flawed. These sources can include anything from biased news networks to completely incorrect statistics. The prevalence of meritless sources in debates muddies the water for anyone who wants to learn more from a debate. Since one of the core ideas of a debate is to learn from the other person’s argument, it is vital that unbiased and verified sources are used. Spreading misinformation only causes harm to those who desire to learn. Finally, debate has been absolutely slaughtered by people who are unwilling to listen, but
overly willing to yell about their opinions. As stated before, a core concept of debate is listening to another` opinion and learning from it. However, some people enter debates with the mindset that they hold the only possible “correct” opinion. When two people with such a mindset decide to debate, the result is usually just a bunch of shouting. When only one person holds this mindset, all valid points provided by the side that genuinely wants to learn are rejected by the obstinate side claiming that they are wrong. If we want proper debates
to return to America, we need to fix the problems with our egos. Simply learning to listen and not attack everyone with an opinion different than ours could solve many problems, not just bad debates. I dearly hope that soon our debates will once again be informative and productive. Jason DeFisher is a junior in animal sciences and industry.

BUDGET continued from page
3
Victor Valdez, student senator and junior in economics, argued against a budget increase for the Collegian Media Group. “There are all kinds of departments who need more funding,” Valdez said. “Print
media is dying. There is no point to continue throwing money at a dying art.” The student senate voted 36-11 against the request for a budget increase, instead granting a continuance of last year’s budget. The last time the Collegian Media Group received a budget increase was in 2005. The student senate also introduced a resolution regarding the Tax Cuts and
Jobs Act in the United States legislature. According to the House of Representatives’ Ways and Means Committee, the act will bring tax relief to Americans and streamline higher education benefits, allowing families to better save for and afford college tuition and other expenses. According to the proposed SGA resolution, Subtitle C of the Tax Cuts and
Jobs Act “seeks to implement the taxation of tuition waivers as income for undergraduate and graduate students.” The SGA resolution also says the total cost of attendance at Kansas State has outpaced scholarship and grant money available to students, partially contributing to K-State’s decline in enrollment. If approved, the resolution will recommend that

Al's Corner: Recap and reaction to last-second K-State football win DEAUNDRA ALLEN
tion from the crowd was huge, as it was one of the first trick plays Wildcat fans have seen all year. Barnes talked about the trick play in the post-game press conference. "I honestly didn't notice a difference," Barnes said. "It was pretty neat. It's always special to score a touchdown."
THE COLLEGIAN
The Kansas State football team hosted the Iowa State Cyclones at home in Bill Snyder Family Stadium, where the Wildcats won in the last 10 seconds of the game, 20-19. The Wildcats' record for the year is now 7-5 and they are bowl eligible for the eighth consecutive year. For the second game in a row, the opposing team was picked to win over the Wildcats.
REACTION
QUARTERBACKS
Freshman quarterback Skylar Thompson threw for 152 yards today, with the longest pass being 25 yards. Thompson was only sacked once during the game, and he threw one touchdown pass to sophomore wide receiver Isaiah Zuber, which won the game for the Wildcats. Senior quarterback Kyle Kempt threw 264 yards for the Cyclones, with the longest pass being 34 yards. Kempt threw two touchdown passes and was sacked twice during the game. Kempt's touchdown passes came out in the third and fourth quarter. One pass went over to senior Marchie Murdock for nine yards in the third quarter, while the second one went to sophomore Hakeem Butler for three yards in the fourth quarter.
RUSHING
Four Wildcats were able to rake in numbers on offense, with junior running back Dalvin Warmack leading the group with 42 yards. Following behind Warmack were junior running back Justin Silmon with 32 yards, sophomore running back Alex Barnes with 23 yards and Thompson with 12 yards. The Wildcats finished with a total of 109 rushing yards. Six Cyclones brought in a total of 115 yards for rushing, with sophomore Sheldon Croney leading with 63 yards. Following Croney were junior Mike Warren with 17 yards, sophomore David Montgomery with 14 yards, Kempt with

RECEIVING
Zuber led the pack for the Wildcats, where he received 56 yards and one touchdown. Following Zuber was junior wide receiver Dominique Heath with 23 yards, junior wide receiver Zach Reuter with 38 yards, junior fullback Winston Dimel with seven yards and one touchdown, Warmack with 24 yards and Barnes with seven yards. The Wildcats received for 155 yards and two touchdowns. Senior Allen Lazard led the Cyclones with 95 receiving yards, and sophomore Keonate Jones followed with 43 yards. Murdock came behind with 37 yards and one touchdown, Ryen with 36 yards, Butler with 23 yards and one touchdown, Croney with 15 yards, junior
Matthew Eaton with nine yards and Montgomery with six yards. The Cyclones received for 264 yards and two touchdowns.
HIGHLIGHTS
Thompson stepped up to the quarterback position once again, entering the game with poise and passion as he led K-State to another victory. In the last minute of the game, Thompson led the team down the field showing his potential to get the job done yet again. In the last ten seconds of the game, he threw a one-yard pass to Zuber to seal a Wildcat victory. During the post-game press conference, Thompson talked about the game-winning play. "I do not remember much to be honest, because it happened so quick," Thompson said. "It was an incredible mo-
ment. I had a good idea of what coverage they were running. Pre-snap, I was determined to go to Isaiah Zuber and they kind of jammed him up, so I came off it and scrambled, just trying to keep the play alive. I was literally just thinking about tucking and running it. As soon as I do that, I see number seven wide open and gave him a ball to catch." Zuber also talked about the game-winning play from his perspective. "We just wanted it more," Zuber said. "That is all I can say. We just knew that we had to get this drive and win the ball game. The defense got a big stop for us. We all talked right before we got onto the field that we were going to make a play." K-State head football coach Bill Snyder also talked about the game-winning play and what it meant to him. "That's one of the things
we spent some time on this week," Snyder said. "Defensively, they play a scheme. They weren't in it on the goal line down there, but normally they play a scheme that covers well. Rush three, drop eight; [it's] hard to find open areas. The pass rush is less, so the quarterback has a little bit more time and people have to find open areas to go. "But that's what Isaiah did," Snyder continued. "It wasn't what we had been working on out on the field, but it helps us down there. He kept it alive, and Thompson kept it alive, and Isaiah and the rest of the receivers – [Zuber] wasn't the only one that continued to work. We just don't sit down and let yourself be covered." Barnes and Dimel were also able to get a trick play done successfully, with Barnes throwing a three-yard pass to Dimel in the fourth quarter. The reac-
During the first three quarters, I honestly did not expect that much. It was a rather slow-feeling game until the second half rolled around. When the "assistant" for K-State received an unsportsmanlike conduct penalty, I knew it was about to get interesting. Defensively, the Wildcats held tight when they needed to and brought the team together. Offensively, there were huge improvements at the end of the game. Snyder said they didn't throw the ball much in the first half so "you would have something to talk about," but in the second half, Thompson stepped up and threw the ball more. The last five minutes of the quarter showed a lot to Wildcat fans. It showed that Thompson still has his killer arm from the scout team, and it showed that the K-State football team can come together as one to achieve victory. The amount of pressure the offense was under in the last minute of the game was insane, but I truly think it brought the best out of the team. K-State came to play once again today, and the Wildcats showed that they are indeed bound for a bowl game. K-State will learn its bowl designation and opponent Dec. 3. The bowls the Wildcats could go to range from the Liberty Bowl in Memphis, Tennessee, the Cactus Bowl in Phoenix, the Heart of Dallas Bowl in Dallas, the Texas Bowl in Houston, the Camping World Bowl in Orlando, Florida, and the Alamo Bowl in San Antonio. The Wildcats are rumored to be top contenders for the Liberty Bowl, the Cactus Bowl or the Heart of Dallas Bowl.

Men's basketball goes 1-1 in Las Vegas invitational, takes third place JARRETT WHITSON THE COLLEGIAN
The Kansas State men’s basketball team spent its Thanksgiving weekend in Las Vegas competing in the Continental Tire Las Vegas Invitational. The Wildcats went 1-1 in games and took third place in the invitational, with their season record now being 5-1. Prior to traveling to Las Vegas, K-State played two “campus games” of the invitational at home. In those games, the Wildcats defeated the University of California, Irvine with a score of 71-49 and Northern Arizona University with a score of 80-58. The Wildcats first matched up against Arizona State on Thanksgiving Day. Both teams’ records were 4-0 at the time. The game between the Wildcats and the Sun Devils was electric and high-scoring, but in the end K-State fell 92-90 for

the season’s first loss. Despite the loss, K-State scored 15 total 3-point field goals, while Arizona State only scored nine 3-pointers. Both teams also shot over 50 percent from the field. The game saw nine ties and nine lead changes. After the semifinal loss, K-State moved on to face George Washington University in the third place game. The Wildcats controlled the first half. The Wildcats went into the halftime break with a 38-29 lead over the Colonials. K-State led for much of the second half, but the men’s team let George Washington creep its way back in toward the end. The Colonials narrowed the gap to 56-54 with just over five minutes left in the game. The Wildcats responded and closed out the game with a 67-59 victory. While the Wildcats did not shoot as well from the field as they did during the Arizona State game — just 47 percent this time around — K-State was

Additionally, junior guard Kamau Stokes, junior forward Dean Wade and sophomore forward Xavier Sneed were all perfect from the free-throw line.

Volleyball season ends on a low note with 3-0 loss to West Virginia University AVERY OSEN
THE COLLEGIAN
The K-State volleyball season did not end as planned Wednesday night when the Wildcats suffered a 3-0 loss to West Virginia University at home in Ahearn Field House. Head coach Suzie Fritz said she was not happy about losing the last game of the season. “It’s a very disappointing File photo by Nathan Jones | COLLEGIAN MEDIA GROUP

way to end the season,” Fritz said to K-State Sports. The 2017 volleyball season fell short of expectations for the Wildcats, who finished 10-19 overall and 3-13 in Big 12 conference play. Last year, K-State went to the round of 32 in the NCAA Women’s Volleyball Championship. K-State volleyball also said goodbye to its lone senior Wednesday night. Senior opposite Bryna Vogel has played a big part in the team’s success over the past four years. Vogel did not play in the game due to an injury, but senior night was still very sentimental for the senior from Clearwater, Kansas. “In my mind, [Vogel’s] a tremendous success story,” Fritz said to K-State Sports. “She has more inside of her than maybe any player I’ve
ever coached. She’s tenacious and she’s extremely competitive. She’s like a ninja and a nun all rolled into one. She’s a really dynamic and extraordinary human being.” There were some bright spots for the Wildcats this season, including junior outside hitters Alyssa Schultejans and Kylee Zumach. These two players had 14 kills each in their last match of the season. “I thought the left sides, both Kylee and Alyssa, were good early,” Fritz said to K-State Sports. “I thought Kylee Zumach was really good — .500 on 28 swings. She was trying to hold us together, and we couldn’t have asked her to do any more tonight. She was playing hard and competing hard.” When it comes to assists, sophomore setter Sarah Dix-
on led the Wildcats with 20, while freshman setter Brooke Smith was second on the team with 17. For the season, Zumach led the team in kills this year with an even 350 total. Second was Vogel, who ended with 241 kills. Schultejans had 203 kills this year. Zumach and Smith were also very good when it came to serves this season — the two led the team in service aces with 30 and 27, respectively. Zumach, Dixon and junior libero Reilly Killeen all led the Wildcats in sets played, with each of them playing in 116 sets this season. K-State will now turn its attention to next volleyball season, where a more experienced team will try to get back to the NCAA Women’s Volleyball Championship.
