Student opportunities, games and prizes at Kansas City lifestyle event

Jessica Palm, vice pres ident of marketing for the Kansas City Area Develop ment Council, said students in the region anticipate the Kansas City lifestyle event, POV: Life in KC, coming to Bosco Student Plaza on Wednesday, Oct. 12, from 10:30 a.m. to 2 p.m.

“We are a non-profit or ganization working to deliv er business and talent to the Greater Kansas City area,” Palm said. “That includes our 18 county footprint, with 50 communities served, in cluding the Missouri region.”

The event will showcase the Kansas City lifestyle and include firsthand reviews from Kansas State gradu ates who represent KC com panies looking to promote working in the KC region, Palm said. These companies offer jobs and internships to college students, and stu dents can engage with em ployers for up to six months after the event, Palm said.

“We want you to think about our community when considering your future plans of employment, internships and residence,” Palm said.

Maria Izquierdo, se nior in nutrition and health and president of the His panic American Leadership Organization, said that she plans to find an employer in KC because of their diverse community.

“I hope that I can get connected with an alumni

that will introduce me to an employer that I am actual ly interested in,” Izquierdo said.

Izquierdo said due to her involvement in HALO for four years, she has discov ered that many companies in Kansas City have relations with social development, so cial justice and other associa tions suiting her preferences. Izquierdo said, overall, she is looking forward to the event.

Palm said the event in cludes a DJ, free food, yard games and the chance to walk away with concert tick ets, Garmin watches, succu lents and coffee. She said the event’s vibrant atmosphere and hospitality shows off the environment students would experience in Kansas City.

“It is the epiphany of the visit — once they come here everybody loves it,” Palm said.

Companies in the An imal Health Corridor busi ness area constitute 56 per cent of global industry sales and their district currently ranks first in sports archi tecture, Palm said. Another development in Kansas City, KC Current, is the world’s first women-specific sports stadium which is aiming to open in 2023, Palm said.

“The developments in the area are placing Kansas City on a world stage, mak ing the area a pool of oppor tunity for everyone,” Palm said.

Madison Hewitt, re cruiter at Burns and McDon nell, said she will be attend ing the event as a KC lifestyle

representative. Hewitt said as a K-State alumna, she is very excited to visit K-State again and share her enthusiasm for the Kansas City lifestyle.

“After graduating K-State in 2019 with a hos pitality management degree, I began work at Burns & Mc

Donnell, and enjoy working with college students to help them find careers that work for them,” Hewitt said.

Palm said POV: Life in KC exposes students to the possibilities present in a prominent business district like Kansas City.

“One in three students that attend university in the area are not from Kansas or Missouri. They probably have not experienced our region in many ways,” Palm said.

Palm said sponsors of this event, such as Burns &

McDonnell and ARCO, will be the largest companies hiring interns and recent graduates. More information on event details, recruiting, sponsors and registration can be found on their website.

La Fiesta reopens after an abrupt close due to tax issues

MEREDITH MCCALMON

After briefly closing in September, La Fiesta opens its doors to the public again. The business failed to pay taxes and was seized, according to a press release from the Kansas Department of Revenue.

The press release stated that the KDOR and the Riley County Department of Revenue “executed tax warrants and seized the assets” of managers Juan and Guillermo Hernandez for “nonpayment of retail sales totaling $21,461.59.”

Lizzie Vetter, freshman in biochemistry, said La Fiesta’s closure surprised her.

“[La Fiesta] seems normal, I like the environment and atmosphere of the restaurant. It’s very

colorful,” Vetter said. “I didn’t know about the tax issues.”

Kennedy Kaufman, sophomore in marketing, said she never would’ve suspected anything was wrong with the business.

“The waiters were always really nice, so I never noticed anything bad,” Kaufman said. “I used to go a lot to just eat and hang out with friends. They had really good service.”

The restaurant closed for two days, and reopened after “the business made an acceptable payment arrangement,” according to the KDOR.

Juan Hernandez said he hopes customers can look past the restaurant’s tax issue.

“We’re still here, I mean

we’ve been here for sixteen years now,” Hernandez said. “We just had a hard time there, but now we’re open again. Same food, same margaritas.”

One hundred fourteen people attended the Accessible Game Day held in Hale Library on Oct. 3, said Angie Brunk and Daniel Ireton, Academic Service librarians and organizers of the event.

The event provided board games modified for people with disabilities, Brunk said.

Aaron Savoy, junior in accounting, said he decided to come to the event after seeing an email about it.

“Not only do I get to play with people who I have not known since today, but I get to socialize with them as well,” Savoy said. “That’s one of the best things about board games. It’s not through a cellphone or technology, it’s face to face.”

Avalon, a social deduction game, was popular among

students, Brunk said.

“It was one that we spent a particular amount of time creating modifications for to make it more accessible, so it was nice to see that work,” Ireton said.

Avalon involves players vot-

ing in secret using tokens printed with the words “yes” or “no,” Ireton said. With the modification, players placed tactile tokens in a small bag to vote, accommodating people who are visually impaired, Ireton said.

“If you had just the printed ones, but you were visually impaired, you might not be able to see the difference at all, and if you have to ask, well that’s breaking the game right there. That information has to stay secret,” Ireton said.

Tactile tokens allow the players to discern between votes by touch, Ireton said.

This modification to Avalon enhances the overall gameplay, as keeping the tokens in the bag adds to the mysticism of the game, Brunk said.

Cards Against Humanity was another popular game, Ireton and Brunk said.

“Nobody touched Apples to Apples, so apparently everybody wanted it a little wild,”

said Brunk. “But, it felt like the Cards Against Humanity table was always full, and the games seemed to go on for a while.”

Prior to the event, Brunk and Ireton said they tested the modified games.

Senate candidate Mark Holland visits Manhattan on campaign trail

On Wednesday, Oct. 5, Dem ocratic Party candidate Mark Hol land visited the Manhattan Public Library to discuss his Senate cam paign and listen to questions and concerns from Manhattan locals.

The former Kansas City mayor discussed several politically polarizing issues, including repro ductive rights, Kansas’ economy, immigration policy and more.

Holland said he is a fourth-generation Kansas resident who decided the country needed new direction following the Jan. 6 insurrection of the capitol, in which he expressed deep remorse.

“That was the final tip ping-point for me. Watching people assault police officers, riot in our na tion’s capital, breaking windows and crawling through and then watching a confederate flag go across the floor of our nation’s capital,” Holland said. “If you don’t pledge allegiance to a flag that has fifty stars and rep resents all of us, you are not a patriot of the United States of America.”

Holland said he endorsed a higher minimum wage for Kansas and chastised Republican Party can didate, Jerry Moran, for his $7.25 minimum wage policy.

“Jerry Moran’s minimum wage hasn’t changed since 2009,” Holland said.

Mark Holland continued his speech, eventually landing on the topic of reproductive rights and the overturning of Roe v. Wade.

“I support Roe v. Wade because it’s neutral,” Holland said. “If you believe abortion is wrong you need not have one, but for the rest of us who support access, we can keep abortions safe, legal and rare.”

Holland said he and his Repub lican counterpart have drastically different views regarding abortion.

“Jerry Moran has supported 75 different bills in Congress to limit a woman’s choice, access to healthcare and birth control. He voted for the Supreme Court justices that took down Roe v. Wade,” Holland said.

“Jerry Moran is an anti-choice cru sader and cannot be trusted to go back in the United States Senate.”

Holland said Moran remains his most significant threat in this race af

ter receiving former President Don ald Trump’s official endorsement. Holland said he is touring rural and urban areas to win this election, with the intent to secure the votes of Democrats, moderate Republicans and undecided voters.

“I believe there is going to be a ‘Roe v. wave’ across the country,” Holland said.

The Democratic National Con vention did not choose Holland as their representative, despite him run ning as a Democrat, Holland said.

Because of this, he is funding his own campaign with the help of local sup porters. Holland said he will not be advertised for the same reason and is meeting Kansans face to face to show his desire for the Senate seat.

Holland said he also supports the “farm bill,” an agricultural pol icy that grants commodities and conservation to farms by the federal government.

“This is smart capitalism,” Hol land said. “The farm bill has an op portunity to help our farmers make sure that industry is supported, that they have the crop insurance they need, particularly with the changes in weather, that they ensure that chil dren who need food, get food.”

Holland said he hopes the younger residents of Manhattan will show up to the polls for him in the upcoming election.

“Everything we can do to get the students at K-State to vote again, that is what we need,” Holland said.

Holland spoke on climate change, affirming his belief in sci ence and stressing the importance of solving the climate crisis.

“Climate change is real, and we need to address it,” Holland said. “It’s affecting our water. It’s affecting our climate. It’s affecting our farmers. We need people who believe in science to be running our country. We need to make factbased decisions.”

Holland said his plan to im prove public schools will be accom plished by correcting the errors of his opponent, Moran.

“Jerry Moran blurred the line between the separation of church and state,” Holland said. “He al lowed public money to go to private

schools. Now, this is good for pri vate schools, but there is no reason public money should be going to private schools.”

Former senator and House of Representative Tom Hawk gave his support for Holland at the candi date forum.

“He has common-sense solu tions. He stands up for democracy and smart capitalism,” Hawk said. “I think the Republican party has turned because of one man and a cult.”

Holland said he promises to stand up for reproductive and Sec ond Amendment rights, separation of church and state, and pledged to stand up against oil companies and other monopolies to protect farmers.

Senate canidate Mark Holland visits Manhattan Public Library to speak on key issues including reproductive rights, Kansas’ economy, immigra tion policy and more.

Meet the US Senate candidates

Jerry Moran (R)

On the economy: The American economy is facing very difficult times and we need to get the country moving. Americans are struggling, and unfortunately, Wash ington’s usual solution to recklessly throw taxpayer dollars at this problem is not the right answer.

On life: I am, and always have been, prolife. Life is precious and deserves our respect and protection. During my time in Congress, I have used my voice and vote to further the cause of life and defend unborn chil dren.

On healthcare:

Making certain Kansans have access to affordable, quality health care has been one of my prior ities during my time in Congress. To achieve this goal, policies must be im plemented that reduce health care costs. These policies should increase

Mark R. Holland (D)

On the economy: The economy drives Amer ica and Kansas. As mayor I oversaw $2.8 billion in private investment that created over 12,000 new jobs in Wyan dotte County. We grew the economy by looking forward to new industries and op portunities. I support the US infrastructure bills so Kan sans can work with dignity to support themselves and their families. Smart federal spend

ing grows the public sector, not the government.

On reproductive rights: Every person has a right to decide if and when they have children. Access to affordable birth control is es sential in every community. We need to defend the right of every woman to have au tonomy over her body and make a decision about abor tion. This basic human right should not be regulated by

the government. We must especially stand up against in humane abortion restrictions that offer no exceptions for rape, incest, and a woman’s health.

On healthcare: Healthcare is a human right, not a privilege. We must pro vide affordable healthcare to every person and every com munity. Too many rural and urban hospitals have closed, while politicians play a point

David Graham (L)

On government size: Government has become overly involved in almost every aspect of our lives. The size of gov ernment has grown out of control and there is a huge disconnect between now and what our coun try’s framers intended. I

shall work to reduce the overall size of government and restore control to lo cal citizens.

On criminal jus tice: Our United States incarcerate citizens at a much higher rate than many other countries. Much of this has to do

with non violent offend ers. We need to change the way our Criminal Justice system works and give more focus to violent crime.

On national de fense: Overseas nation building and proxy wars have left us worse off. We

Written and directed by Noah Baumbach, the critically acclaimed “Marriage Story” made its initial debut at the Venice Film Festival in August 2019. Grossing a mere $2.3 million upon its release, this film also received an Academy Award, a Golden Globe Award and 52 additional accolades in 2020.

The film illustrates the divorce of Charlie Barber, played by Adam Driver, and Nicole Barber, played by Scarlett Johansson. The two work together in Charlie’s theater company, Exit Ghost, where Charlie directs a play which Nicole stars in amid their failing marriage. They attempt marriage counseling, but due to their stubborn personalities, the couple makes little progress.

Nicole finds herself cast in a television program in Los Angeles, so the family temporarily moves there with their young son, Henry. During this time, Charlie travels back and forth to tend to his theater company.

While in LA, Nicole visits a divorce lawyer suggested to her by a colleague on set. Soon after Charlie returns home, she serves him divorce papers with the help of her sister. Charlie scrambles to hire a lawyer and switches between a few as the divorce escalates, and the risk of Charlie losing custody of his son becomes more probable.

Nicole goes as far as to hack Charlie’s email, uncovering an affair he had with one of his colleagues during their marriage. Nicole insists on spending Halloween separately with their son, which strains Charlie’s relationship with Henry.

Much of their divorce is spent battling over where Henry will reside. Charlie claims they are a “New York family,” but Nicole aims to stay in Los Angeles — this is where Nicole was born, the couple got married and their child attends school. Because Nicole’s attorney is much more combative than Charlie’s, Charlie fires his attorney to hire an equally determined lawyer.

Throughout the taxing separation, Charlie and Nicole share individual and conjoined emotional distress, both inside and outside the courtroom.

Nicole visits Charlie at his home one day, both initially remaining cordial as they normally would outside of divorce proceedings. At some point in their conversation, they erupt into an exhausting and pathetic mix of anger and sorrow. Nicole consoles Charlie, and both

agree to fairer terms in their divorce despite the lawyers recommending otherwise. Henry ultimately remains in LA.

A year after the ruling, Charlie and Nicole flourish in their fields, and Nicole is in a new relationship. Charlie notifies Nicole he is now living in LA full-time to be a better father to Henry. Charlie finds Henry reading a letter Nicole had written about her then-husband as part of their failed attempt at marital counsel; Charlie reads it per his son’s request, and he cries while reading the heartfelt words Nicole refused to read in counseling some time ago.

Both attend a Halloween party the same night, and Nicole allows Charlie to take Henry home despite it being her night of custody. The two say their goodbyes as Nicole fixes Charlie’s shoe. They warmly depart.

“Marriage Story” is a heart-wrenching account of the unfortunate circumstances of divorce. The stressors portrayed in this film seem too raw and real for comfort, and could certainly win the attention of any audience. The movie’s dispiriting nature succeeds in conveying a

harrowing tone and serving an intriguing plot line — not to mention the emotionally skilled actors and amazing cinematic detail. It is no wonder why “Marriage Story” received the substantial amount of awards and recognition that it did.

The title of the new Netflix series “Monster,” following Jeffrey Dahmer and some of his 17 victims, could not be more fitting. This show is certainly not for the faint of heart, nor the queasy. The retelling of Dahmer’s gruesome story is hard to look away from and gives intense insight into the making of the notorious serial killer.

The opening scene features Glenda Cleveland, played by Niecy Nash, who hears the faint buzz of an electric saw through her apartment vent. This sound, coming from her next-door neighbor’s apartment, is Dahmer chopping up one of his victims. As she goes to confront Dahmer, she no-

tices a rancid smell. Dahmer, played by Evan Peters, deflects Glenda’s questions as he leaves to find his next victim — Tracy Edwards. Edwards, played by Shaun J. Brown, escapes from Dahmer’s grasp later in the episode, frantically running down the street in search of help. The police find Edwards, and return to Dahmer’s apartment to check the validity of his accusations. The findings lead to Dahmer’s arrest and 16 life sentences in prison.

Working backwards in time from the arrest of Dahmer to his various killings is a genius storytelling tactic, giving viewers a glimpse into both the trial and the killings at the same time. The first few episodes in particular feature long, drawn-out scenes that induce dread without showing much

gore. Instead of leaning into the horror angle and making a spectacle of the all-too-real story, the directors carefully tread the line between a horror and psychological thriller.

Refocusing the story on the victims is an idea that is long overdue, and should have been a bigger part of the show. Dahmer has long been regarded as one of the most notorious serial killers of all time. But, his delayed capture cannot be attributed to anything other than the racism and homophobia showed by police, as all of Dahmer’s victims were gay men and almost all men of color. Dahmer was no criminal genius; many people, like Cleveland, knew there was something incredibly wrong going on. Much to their dismay, the victims’ cries went unheard.

Highlighting the suffering of the victims, the victims’ families and the entire community painted a much different picture than one of an ominous mastermind. It gave insight into both the sickness shown by Dahmer and the apathy shown by police. Still, the show failed to fully give the victims and their families the story they deserved. One example where this was done successfully was in episode six, which closely follows the murder of Tracy Hughs, played by Rodney Burford. Due to Hughs’ deafness, this mostly silent episode gives us insight into his encounter with Dahmer. While this episode was by far the most heart-wrenching, it gave the spotlight to the rightful owners, taking away the glorification of Dahmer’s

If you ever need a break from your computer screen, consider stopping by the Marianna Kistler Beach Museum of Art. Stroll through the fresh new exhibitions and expect to encounter artworks not just from across Kansas, but from around the world.

Aileen June Wang, curator, put together one of the museum’s newest exhibitions, called “Do You See What I See?” The exhibition features artworks from the museum’s permanent collection alongside works on loan. There are also some new additions to the museum’s collection which are on display for the first time.

“The exhibition features artworks generously loaned by the Crystal Bridges Museum of American Art, in Bentonville, Arkansas,” Wang said. “The loans were made possible through a partnership with the Art Bridges Foundation founded by philanthropist and arts patron Alice Walton.”

The selection was put together with the hope that people will discuss their different interpretations and experiences of the artwork.

“This exhibition was inspired by my longtime fascination with how differently people interpret iconic symbols such as the American flag, and how the meaning of an object changes depending on how it is presented or situated,” Wang said in an Oct. 4 email. “These differences in interpretation sometimes lead to disagree-

ments, which might be diffused if people can accept that there are many ways to think of, or look at a thing or an issue.”

Another of the museum’s latest exhibitions is called “Transfigurations: Reanimating Ancient Art of India.” This immersive multimedia exhibition, created by artist David Lebrun, displays video animations of 12th century sculptures from Southern India. The animations are created by morphing high-resolution photos, bringing the images to life. This exhibition includes “Vishnu and Attendants,” a three-screen animation based on carved temple facades, and “Shiva as Nataraja (Lord of Dance),” a single-screen animation of cast bronze figures. The display allows viewers to see the past differently.

Visitors can expect to leave the museum with a new under-

standing of different perspectives and cultures.

Sponsorships play an important role in displaying these exhibitions to the community, and they also support the Beach Museum in keeping quality work on display.

Upcoming events free and open to the public include the Diwali/Festival of Lights Celebration on Thursday, Oct. 20 from 5-7 p.m., the Do You See What I See? Diverse Perspectives on Iconic Images and Objects gallery on Thursday, Nov. 3 from 5:30-6:30 p.m. and the Holiday Workshop on Saturday, Dec. 3, 11 a.m. to 12:30 p.m. For more information on events, visit beach.k-state.edu/calendar.

The museum is closed on Sundays and Mondays with regular hours from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. on Tuesday, Wednesday, and Friday; 10 a.m. to 8 p.m.

on Thursday, and 11 a.m. to 4 p.m. on Saturday. The museum offers free admission and parking for all. To learn more about the

Kansas State Athletic Director Gene Taylor announced on Thursday that men’s golf head coach Grant Robbins agreed to an extension through 2026-27, according to K-State Sports.

“I am extremely honored and blessed to be at Kansas State and a part of this great University,” Robbins said to K-State Sports. “I want to thank Gene Taylor and our entire adminis-

tration for their support for giving me the opportunity to lead this program. I also want to thank our associate head coach Rob Murray, as well all of our current and former players and support staff who have helped us build a strong foundation and have been instrumental in our success.”

Robbins brought K-State to the NCAA Regional appearance last spring for the first time since 2009. The team found success in the fall season, being

ranked as the No. 21 team in Bushnell/Golfweek D1 coaches poll. K-State has won their first two events of the season, the Wildcat Invitational and the Old Town Collegiate.

As well as his extension, Robbins promoted six-year assistant coach Rob Murray to associate head coach.

The team’s next competition will be Monday, Oct. 10, at the Oregon State Invitational.
