Retiring Ted Ayres leaves legacy, continues community work By Alex Perry STAFF REPORTER @SunflowerAP
For the past 19 years, Wichita State has turned to Vice President and General Counsel Ted Ayres for a variety of needs, including legal and personnel issues. However, starting this June, Ayres will write a new chapter of his life: retirement. Ayres practiced law in various capacities from 1972 to 1976, never feeling satisfied in the connection he was making to his community. His first role as legal counsel for a university came in 1976 at the University of Missouri, and, a decade later, he became general counsel to the Kansas Board of Regents. Holding that position for 10 years, Ayres did legal consulting
with many schools, including WSU, which did not have a full-time legal counsel at the time. He took the job at WSU in 1996 after being lobbied by former Vice President Fred Suderman and now Athletic Director Eric Sexton. The fact that he greatly enjoyed working with WSU also helped convince him. “Early on in that process, I really enjoyed Wichita State,” Ayres said. “I liked the feel of it, I liked the community, I liked the people here.” Much has happened during Ayres’ tenure at WSU, such as the construction of Shocker Hall and the move toward becoming an Innovation Campus. However, Ayres said the most difficult part of his job has been dealing with personnel problems.
He said it is never easy to let anyone go, but the staff here has always been equipped to handle it. “It’s difficult for everybody,” Ayres said. “One of the things I’ve enjoyed is that people here don’t take those responsibilities lightly.” Ayres is perhaps most well known within the community for spearheading the efforts to bring some of the works of Gordon Parks — a photographer and native Kansan whose list of accomplishments and job titles is too long to print — into WSU’s collection. WSU beat out the New York Public Library and the Smithsonian, among other institutions, to house countless Parks manuscripts and photographs. See AYRES on page 2

University, community come together in sexual assault discussion By Shelby Reynolds MANAGING EDITOR @_shelbyreynolds
With several university representatives in attendance, a community discussion Thursday evening emphasized Wichita State’s role in the safety and livelihood of its surrounding neighborhoods. The conversation at the Fairmount Park community building — located one block south of the WSU campus — centered on the reality of sexual violence in Wichita in the wake of a violent assault that killed 36-year-old Letitia Davis in November. “We wanted to see what the community thought of the events,” that happened last November, said Wyatt Vieux, president of WSU’s Interfraternity Council. “And see what the next actions would be to take.” About 30 community members and representatives from the Wichita Police Department, City of Wichita, Wichita Area Sexual Assault Center and WSU were in attendance.
What happened to Davis is not the reality of sexual violence, explained Robin Bariel, outreach advocate with WASAC. “Most of what we see is not someone walking through a park and is attacked by someone completely unknown to them,” Bariel said to the small audience. “Most of the sexual violence we see is perpetrated by someone they know, trust and most often love.” It is that reason, Bariel said, that many cases of sexual assault go unreported. Victims don’t consider what happened to them “rape,” she said. Bariel also said she heard many comments of ‘I don’t feel safe in my neighborhood anymore’ and ‘This used to be a good community’ following the attack in Fairmount Park. “It’s not about neighborhoods,” she said. “I can’t tell you that living in College Hill is not going to be any safer than it is going to be living here at WSU … Because it’s not about location.” Members of the audience expressed their concerns for future steps to be taken against
sexual violence in the area. Several attendees said education is key. To that, Bariel said WASAC is available to lead discussions among audiences of two to 300 people, if requested. Several WSU officials in attendance Thursday represented a variety of departments and services, including the Counseling and Testing Center, the Interfraternity Council, university police and members of the newly-formed “Enough is Enough” task force. Wade Robinson, vice president of student affairs at WSU, once again put forth the offer to provide a location for self-defense classes, as previously brought up at a campus safety forum following the attack. “If you need a place, the offer there was to have a place of no charge at the Heskett Center,” Robinson announced at the meeting. “We have an excellent facility with matted floors. “I get it — learning how to hit isn’t going to stop this. But if it’s risk reduction and awareness, if it helps one person, then it’s been worth it.” Vieux said several of WSU’s
fraternity chapters will do their part to put a stop to sexual assault, including plans to host a gala in which all proceeds will go toward WASAC. “One thing we wanted to focus on was getting the chapters in the area and attend [Fairmount Neighborhood Association] meetings,” Vieux said. “I think it would be a good way to let us know what’s going on in the area.” The university is a “great resource” to the community, Robinson said. Ted Ayres echoed those sentiments. Ayres, who recently announced his retirement in his role as WSU’s vice president and general counsel, also spoke up in the discussion to represent his lead role in the Enough is Enough task force, which aims to create safe neighborhoods near campus. “I wanted to re-emphasize the university’s concern,” Ayres said during the discussion. “What we’re trying to do is gather up university expertise and resources — both financial and human — and be a player in making a difference.”
The Wichita State Student Government Association started the semester Wednesday with a short meeting that elected committee members and appointed three new senators. Dalton Stanfield and Jarvis Lawson were appointed as at-large senators and Sohaib Tahir was appointed to the position of graduate senator. At-large senator Reece Burns was elected to lead the Oversight and Inquiry Committee, and at-large senator Jonathan Dennill will join Burns as a member of the same committee. To conclude business, legislative director Mariah Smith introduced a bill for its first read. The bill deals with transition processes between old and new Senates. It will be voted on next week. The bill is relevant because an election for a new senate happens every spring semester. SGA will meet again at 6:30 p.m. Wednesday in room 233 of the Rhatigan Student Center.
Ulrich presents new spring exhibits By Brittany Ponds STAFF REPORTER @brittany_forev
Jennifer Lane, public relations and marketing manager at the Ulrich Museum of Art, describes Evan Roth’s “Intellectual Property Donor” exhibit as timely. “It’s so relevant to everything right now,” Lane said. Roth’s exhibit is one of three new exhibitions to reach the Ulrich’s Winter Opening Reception. These exhibits are a mixture of graffiti and viral media. Occupying center stage of the technology-driven exhibit is the “Internet Cache Self-Portrait.” Lane said the piece makes viewers look at what their cache says about themselves. See ULRICH on page 3

Say no to GMOs An Alien’s Perspective: On traveling internationally Americans know what they are? This could be due to the fact that the U.S. does not require GMOs be labeled in grocery stores. Yes, despite several attempts to pass legislation requiring the GMO labeling, there is still no national law demanding this. I believe it is a complete lack of oversight by the governmental administrations put into place for national food quality that labeling has not been put into place. Genetically engineered crops are usually doused with tons of herbicides and pesticides, leading to the creation of “super weeds,” weeds that resist chemicals used to kill them. Since genetically engineered crops have been introduced, the Center for Food Safety has reported more than 200 episodes of contamination. So how safe are GMOs or genetically engineered crops? Multiple studies have been conducted in other countries, testing effects of GMOs on rats, pigs, chickens, cows and other animals, compared to animals that were fed organic diets. The animals fed GMOs showed increases in liver and reproductive issues, diseases, sterility and death, according to published findings from The Institute for Responsible Technology. Several countries around the world, including Italy, France and Germany, have banned GMOs or placed regulations on their growth and use. We as American citizens must speak up and require that our government ensure we are provided with the highest quality crops and food available. No administration should be able to mass-produce and provide food products to an entire country without oversight.

At first, I felt like the topic of traveling seemed a little out of place at COLUMN BY the start of TARUN BALI the semester. But then I realized spring break wasn’t too far away, and some of you may have already started planning trips. As someone who’s had the luxury of traveling long distance from a young age, here is a list of a few things I’ve picked up along the way. Be vague about your personal information. Time and again I’ve come across people who gladly give out too much information. When asked questions such as where you’re from, it is more advisable to mention the general region where you’re from instead of virtually handing out your home address. I’ve had friends come back to a ransacked room after they discussed their travel itineraries with seemingly friendly
strangers. Make sure you research the tourist traps common at your destination beforehand. Do not over-plan. While this can be inconvenient for those who find solace in a concrete plan of action, I’ve had far too many trips turn sour as a result of over-planning. Traveling, for many, is a form of relaxation, and having a shorter list of things to do often ensures you check off most (if not all) of the items on your itinerary. Prepare yourself physically. Being in good physical form is quite crucial to travel enjoyment and exploring a new place and culture. From walking several miles every day to adjusting to different time zones, traveling can be quite the workout. It doesn’t help that, despite your best efforts, your sleep and diet routines are destroyed. Being physically unprepared can result in falling ill on the trip. On a side note — carry emergency medicine in case you need it.
Traveling underfunded. While not the best idea, as students, a lot of us can be quite financially challenged. In addition to saving early for a trip, I advocate spending as little money as possible on insignificant aspects of the trip. For example, whenever possible, camp. While you should tread cautiously, hostels, Airbnb and Couchsurfing are fairly good options, as well. Always plan to have a significant amount of money left at the end of the trip. There’s often something that comes up, and having a few hundred dollars sitting around is nice. Be sure to inform your bank of your travel plans so your cards aren’t locked up. Familiarize yourself with important information. Believe it or not, 911 is not the universal number to dial in case of an emergency. When travelling internationally, make sure you have contact information for the police, medical emergency and embassies before you head out.
When being right becomes wrong As it stands right now, ESPN and its draft analyst, Chad Ford, have Ron COLUMN BY Baker as their RAHIM THOMPSON third overall shooting guard prospect (36th overall), which grades out as a late first round pick if Baker were to declare for the NBA draft at the end of the season. The rest of the Shockers didn’t crack Ford’s Top 100 board — which now means nothing (if it ever did) after Ford was exposed for allegedly altering the results of his previous draft boards after they were published. In this era of social media, fans and scout personnel heavily rely on analytics and mock drafts to determine which players would best fit particular teams. Those who can provide the most accurate scouting reports and draft boards are revered individuals. Getting background information on players on and off the court and studying every play for every player requires time and dedication. Even then, experts don’t get it 100 percent right. In cases like these, accuracy means promotions and credibility. The myriad of factors that only the athlete can control make it impossible to be 100 percent — or even 85 percent — accurate in prediction of mock drafts and big boards. Unless you’re Ford, the prophet. Deadspin confirmed a story
that was published on Reddit’s NBA subreddit that provided irrefutable evidence proving either Ford (or someone working for ESPN) went back and altered several years of Ford’s top 100 NBA draft prospects to reflect how players are currently performing. Pre-draft “projections” for players such as MVP candidates James Harden and Damian Lillard climbed significantly. Harden moved from the sixthranked player in his class to the third best prospect. Lillard was listed as the eighth-best prospect, but was later moved up to fourth after he won Rookie of the Year. Perhaps the most glaring alteration was the gigantic leap Giannis Antetokounmpo had in 2013, from 17th to ninth. Just despicable. As competitive as things like this are becoming, we all know no one will be ever be 100 percent accurate — even the great Mel Kiper, Jr., predicted wrong a number of times. But, like any adversity in life, getting it wrong can help you grow — or in Ford’s case, can make you become a cheater.
You know the guy that changes chess pieces when you leave the table, cheats in Scrabble, or tries to change his test answers once the correct ones are given? There’s no middle ground with cheaters. How you do anything is how you do everything. What Ford allegedly did was cheat — which I think he did — and he’ll do it again. He has done it before, as changing of his pre-draft rankings goes well beyond 10 years. As one alleged perpetual cheater is exposed (the New England Patriots), another joins the list. Unfortunately, instead of analyzing key matchups for the Super Bowl, we are having to tune into ESPN and other media outlets arguing whether Patriots’ head coach Bill Belichick and star quarterback Tom Brady are primarily responsible for 11 of 12 deflated footballs. Regardless of whether the Patriots are held responsible for Deflategate, I think they’ll cheat again. So will Ford. It’s like the naive girlfriend forgiving her cheating boyfriend for the 19th time, hoping things will change. They won’t.

In 2011, Earth Justice, an environmental legal group, filed a COLUMN BY lawsuit CHEYENNE BULLOCK against the U.S. Department of Agriculture for approving Monsanto’s genetically engineered Roundup Ready alfalfa seeds without properly assessing their environmental impacts. Those impacts included releasing 23 million pounds of toxic herbicide into the environment each year as a result of the genetically engineered crops, according to the Center for Food Safety. The lawsuit gained some media attention, which, in turn, caused more Americans to ask questions about genetically modified foods in the United States. Grocery stores across the U.S. are filled with genetically modified foods, or foods containing genetically modified organisms. Genetically Modified Organisms (GMOs) are organisms with altered genetic material. The majority of them are made in two categories: those that resist pesticides and those that resist herbicides. By 2012, 88 percent of corn and 94 percent of soy grown in the U.S. was genetically modified, as released by the USDA. Other GMOs used in America include cotton, sugar beets, rapeseed and alfalfa. Cows are also injected with a recombinant bovine growth hormone to increase milk production. Up to 80 percent of all processed foods in the U.S. contain GMOs, according to the Center for Food Safety. With the majority of the food found on grocery shelves containing GMOs, why do few

“People can go see it and learn a lot about you based on what you’re doing on the Internet,” Lane said. Roth even had a separate room displaying a replica interactive “Ted Talk” stage. Lane said if visitors bring a laptop, they can connect to the projector and share their ideas. The footage can then be edited and appear to be a real “Ted Talk” episode, down to the crowd reactions. Also displayed on the second floor of the Ulrich Museum is the “In Living Color” exhibit, which brings the audience into a world of pop culture and abstract art.
Lane said the pieces displayed are unique, not things seen every day. Lane said visitors will see artists such as James Rosenquist, among other popular pop artists. Juergen Strunck, a professor of art at the University of Dallas, displayed a couple of pieces made with ink on Japanese fiber in the Ulrich Underground’s “Shock Print” exhibition, the last of the three new showings, which can be seen on the lower level of the Ulrich. Lane said guests will find prints ranging from established artists and artists who are just starting out in the lower-level exhibit. Visitors will be able to see these pieces from January until April. The Ulrich Museum is open Tuesday through Sunday, and admission is free.

Shockers outrun Salukis By Cole Yancey SPORTS REPORTER @CAYancey21
Quiet bark, weaker bite. The Wichita State women’s basketball team defeated the Southern Illinois Salukis 80-61 Sunday afternoon. The Shockers built their lead early, starting the game on a 16-5 run. The Salukis had five turnovers in the first five minutes that gave the Shockers easy lay-ups. WSU cruised. Senior forward Kelsey Jacobs had nine of her team-leading 17 in the first half.
SIU responded and midway through the half, they reduced the lead to within 10. Saluki center Dyana Pierre scored eight of her game-high 21 points. The Shockers didn’t allow them to inch closer and closed the half leading 43-29. Starting the second half, WSU’s offense slowed. The Salukis inched back into the game, and again closed the lead to seven. The score was 59-52. But senior guard Alex Harden forced turnovers and WSU pulled away. They finished the game on a 21-8 run.
The Shockers are now 16-3 overall and 7-0 in the Missouri Valley Conference. Wichita State Head Coach Jody Adams said she was pleased with a win but wants her team to have a more “consistent game.” “My expectations for this team and where we are … as the coach you are looking down the line,” Adams said. “I am asking these guys to play perfect rounds.” The women have the week off, but have a two-game roadtrip this weekend. Friday they play at Northern Iowa and Sunday is at Drake.

The last time Wichita State faced Drake, the Shockers won 66-58 — a small margin of victory for the Missouri Valley’s best team against arguably the league’s worst. This time around was different. WSU (18-2, 8-0 MVC) defeated Drake (4-16, 1-7 MVC) Sunday, 74-40, and broke a few records along the way. “There’s very few teams in the country that play as hard as Wichita State does right now and does all the little things,” said Ray Giacoletti, Drake’s head coach. “Evidently, I got chastised for a comment I made a few weeks ago at Illinois State. It was in no disrespect to Wichita whatsoever. “Got beat at Illinois State, I made some comment about one through 12, they might be as athletic as
anybody in our league. Next thing I know, I’m getting emails and stuff.” That comment played into the Shockers’ hands. WSU had 99 wins against Drake all-time. Make that No. 100. “Clearly, we were trying to make a point when someone, like he stated in the media, that someone in the Valley was more athletic than us,” junior guard Ron Baker said. “And it wasn’t one of Coach Marshall’s favorite teams that he said it about. He was definitely talking about it before the game and in the prep during the week that we need to come out and make a statement. I think we did so.” That statement didn’t just come in the usual stat lines. Consider this: WSU played 15 people and only had five turnovers in the game. Points in the paint: WSU won 28-12. Points off turnovers: WSU won 24-7. Second chance points:

WSU won 15-5. Bench points: WSU won 32-18. It was a dominating performance in a game where one Shocker set a school record and another tied a Shocker legend. Fred VanVleet had 388 career assists entering the game, just six behind Dave Stallworth, who sat at No. 5 all-time as a Shocker. Well, Stallworth has to make some room at the table because VanVleet dished out six assists yesterday and is now tied with him. VanVleet had no idea when asked if he knew about moving up in the record books. “I did not know that, but thanks for telling me,” VanVleet said after the game. “Obviously, it’s a huge accomplishment when you talk about some of the guys that are in the books.” VanVleet tried to deflect the accomplishment as well as he could. He said he’s more focused on wins; it has to do with the opportunities he was given and said he was thankful for the teammates on the other end of the passes. But Baker wouldn’t let the accomplishment go unnoticed. Baker put his arm around VanVleet with a big smile and said, “I think it’s pretty damn cool, honestly.” To which VanVleet replied, “Much appreciated,” with a smile. Then it was time to talk about Tekele Cotton, the man of the day, who became the winningest Shocker of all-time, passing Demetric Williams in the history books with 108 total wins. Cotton passed up the post-game press conference, maybe because he didn’t know until after the game that he broke the record. “Obviously, [Cotton] didn’t know about today,” VanVleet said. “We didn’t, but I know for sure he definitely didn’t have any idea about the number of wins, so I just want to congratulate him on that. It’s a huge honor. We’re very thankful to have him.” VanVleet, again, decided to turn the focus to wins. “I think everone can appreciate what he’s done for us over his years here, and we just gotta remind him we’re not done yet,” VanVleet said. “We still have a lot more games to go, so let’s keep adding to the win column for him.”
