Newest Aggieville bar opens with dubstep rave Andy Rao News Editor Aggieville officially introduced its newest member on Wednesday night with the grand opening of Lucky’s Live, formerly Aggieville Ale House, at 712 N. Manhattan Ave. Lucky’s is one of several bars to open within the last few months, and is hoping to replicate and even surpass the recent success of venues like Johnny Kaw’s Sports Bar. The new bar launched business by holding a “dubstep rave” night, which was modeled off of the opening of Johnny Kaw’s opening night. “We thought it was a great idea to open on a Wednesday with a dubstep rave night like Johnny Kaw’s,” said Brett Allred, owner and manager of Lucky’s. “This is the very first week of the semester, and students don’t have too much going on yet, so we’re expecting a good crowd here tonight.” Allred said the new bar was designed to provide customers with live music on a regular basis. “We’re offering something different here than most bars in Aggieville, and that’s consistent live music which isn’t all country,” Allred said. Allred, who is the owner of several bars in Aggieville including Johnny Kaw’s, Shot Stop, Bomb Bar, and now Lucky’s Live, said that he has learned from the successes of his other venues and is planning on incorporating those lessons into making Lucky’s an Aggieville attraction. “There’s huge demand for live music, and we’re doing a variety of different themes centered around music every week,” Allred said.

Breakdancers get down at the grand opening of Lucky’s Live in Aggieville on Wednesday. “So even though our prices are pretty similar, you get a much more unique experience here compared to other places in Aggieville.” Allred, a 2006 K-State graduate in business management, said that his experiences in school, as well as his experience working in bars, were instrumental in the successful
establishment of his businesses. “I think my personal experiences helped quite a bit,” Allred said. “I would also say that the staff and their personal interaction with customers is extremely important, and we’re extremely selective with our hiring processes so that we make sure we have the right people on
Effect of ban on mobile phones while driving unclear Darrington Clark staff writer Texting while driving is a relatively recent issue and is considered by many to be one of the most dangerous activities to engage in when behind the wheel. As the problem is still a relatively new development, the city of Manhattan, the state of Kansas and the United States government all seem to have wrestled with the problem at around the same time. Manhattan, in particular, has a policy that restricts mobile
delays a driver’s reactions as much as having a blood alcohol concentration of .08. Numerous studies like this one conclude that cellphone use is just as dangerous as driving while intoxicated. These dangers have warranted a response from the state government of Kansas through a no-texting law. The law states that all drivers are prohibited from texting while driving. A person ticketed under the anti-texting law will face a fine of 60 dollars. Kansas’ novice driver cellphone and texting laws are
phone use while driving. Whether these bans are helping, working, or are even needed is an issue up for debate. Texting while driving is indeed a danger according to research. A study conducted at the University of Utah found that any cellphone use while driving, whether hand held or hands free,
“I like the idea of the safety implications the law has, but I think the focus should be more widespread. Mitchell Burkett sophomore in physics. considered primary laws. A primary law is any law in which an officer can pull a driver over for the offense without having to witness some other violation. That is, the officer can see a texting violation and automatically issue a citation. However, it is not this law, but the Manhattan “handsfree” ban that has affected some people in the city. “Apparently they gave out a warning period about the hands-free law,” said Mitchell Burkett, sophomore in physics. “But I came back from winter break after New Year’s, so I missed it. I had no idea about the ban at all. I think it’s unfair, because the law applies not only to main streets but also to suburb areas. What if you’re searching for directions to your friend’s house? You’re at a huge risk there.” The Kansas-wide law is certainly affecting drivers, but true change has yet to be visible. Kassie McEntire, prosecutor at the Manhattan Municipal Court, says that it’s still normal to see people texting behind the wheel.

our team.” The management and staff at new bar has started off well, said Andy Beye, Lucky’s bartender and senior in marketing. “I’ve had a really good experience with the management because they actually listen to you here,” Beye said. “It makes working here a
lot easier and a lot more fun.” Beye said that Lucky’s is planning on being Aggieville’s best live music bar, which, according to him, no other bar has been able to provide to customers, despite numerous attempts.

Debate coach plays important role, mentors K-State forensics program Jakki Thompson Assistant News Editor On a campus with many student activities and organizations, the K-State forensics team plays a prominent role for the people who are interested in speech-related hobbies. One of the newest coaches to the debate side of forensics is William Taylor, graduate student in communication studies and graduate teaching assistant for public speaking courses here on campus.
“He is familiar with so many different types of arguments because of all of his years of debating and coaching. He works well with all sorts of different people. He can help all sorts of debaters find places to get citations and to fill research gaps in their cases and arguments.” Sarah Green K-State debate program assistant director “I have debated for the better majority of my life,” Taylor said. “I debated all four years of high school, three years in college and then went into coaching.” Taylor debated at Missouri State University for a year then transferred to Truman State University and debated there for two years. After three years of debate, he decided to go into coaching. His first coach-
Now Leasing for Fall 2012
ing job was at Southern Illinois University at Carbondale. After this, Taylor moved to Kansas and coached at Emporia State University for 12 years before coming to K-State. “I knew the director and the assistant directors of debate here at K-State,” Taylor said. “They were and are still really good friends of mine. This is a very welcoming and supportive environment. A lot of other schools don’t have this kind of environment when it comes to debate and other forensics.” He went on to further explain that K-State was ideal for his graduate school option in communications studies. Taylor said the graduate program has a lot of flexibility with the scheduling of classes he needs to take for his graduate program and for the classes he needs to teach. “Now that I’m in Manhattan, I have realized something very odd about Emporia,” Taylor said. “I realized that there are no grocery stores in Emporia that have salad bars. The first time I ever went to Hy-Vee here in Manhattan, I felt like I was in heaven. But even with that, I do miss all of the genuine authentic Mexican restaurants in Emporia.” Taylor said one of the most important things he had accomplished since joining debate many years ago was learning how to research. Because of his debate research, Taylor said he was exposed to different theories about social justice and different thoughts of philosophers. “When I was debating in college, Taylor actually judged me in debated rounds,” said Sarah Green, assistant director for the K-State debate program and professor of communication studies. “I looked up to him and he was always one of my favorite people.”
Green said that it is a wonderful experience to be able to work with Taylor as he has amazing evidence production and is always the go-to person when it comes to how to support an argument or to block a different argument. “He is familiar with so many different types of arguments because of all of his years of debating and coaching,” Green said. “He works well with all sorts of different people. He can help all sorts of debaters find places to get citations and to fill research gaps in their cases and arguments.” Taylor said that he thinks people who are not involved in debate don’t understand how debaters are so committed to the activity. He said that each semester, the debaters do a lot of research and that the work load is comparable to the work involved with producing a graduate-level thesis. “I have seen people grow, both as people and as debaters,” Taylor said. “I used to coach at a high school level debate camp at the University of Kansas in the summer. I would later see these students go through high school, then judge them in college and watch them go on and coach at the collegiate level and find their own program.” Most graduate teaching assistants are usually in their early 20s or straight out of their undergraduate degree. Taylor, on the other hand, was able to gain more than a decade of experience before coming to K-State. Green said that the KState debate team is very lucky to have Taylor as a coach. “It is clear to me that the experience of debate fundamentally changes lives,” Green said. “People think that I believe that because I am a debate coach, but I hear this all the time from people — that

K-State student adresses bullying in video, shows compassion Caroline Sweeney editor-in-chief Social media has become an outlet for a wide range of messages. Some messages are far-reaching and some are more personal. YouTube has thousands of videos from people expressing their views, needs, wants and desires. But it also has cries for help. When Jonah Mowry posted his video “What’s Going On..” on Dec. 10. 2011, he was sending a message. Mowry does not speak in the video, but instead uses note cards to convey his thoughts about how bullying at his school has affected him. His story spurred similarly formatted responses by hundreds of others who have also suffered and wanted to offer their support. One K-State student, Colby Bruner, sophomore in secondary education, also felt moved by the video. “I had forgotten a lot of the stuff that happened to me in middle school. It took me back to those feelings,” Bruner said. At the beginning of December, Bruner showed Mowry’s video to his Foundations of Education class. Stephanie Pearson, graduate teaching assistant for the department of curriculum and instruction, was Bruner’s teacher and helped support his project. In an email to Pearson, Bruner introduced Mowry’s video and the topic of bullying. “Colby was one of my favorite students. He was always very open and honest about some of the situations he faced in school,” Pearson said. Because Foundations of Education is one of the first classes that education majors take, the class covers a range of topics. “It’s about the historical background of the education system in the U.S. and also the philosophical back-
ground,” Pearson said. “We talk a lot about the different situations teachers are going to face in the classroom, the different kind of students they are going to have and the diversity in the classrooms.” Bruner said that in the class, they discussed race, gender, minorities and perceptions surrounding different demographics. “We never specifically addressed bullying until my video,” Bruner said. “We were
with, so we do spend a lot of time talking about it.” Pearson said. According to bullyingstatistics.org, in 2010 there were about 2.7 million students being bullied each year with about 2.1 million students taking on the role of the bully. Bruner wanted to do more than a personal video testament. He wanted to create a
He said, however, that even though the Facebook event he created had a large following, the response was not what he wanted. “I never received very many videos from that,” Bruner said. That is when some stu-
Amanda Morales, assistant professor of curriculum and instruction, also teaches Foundations of Education and told her section of students about Bruner’s project. “I was moved by the concept,” Morales said. “I had trouble keeping my composure.” Morales said part of the class is discussion on the teaching philosophy “ethics of care.” This philosophy was introduced by Nel Noddings and, according to Morales, it focuses on the educator taking on the role of caregiver in the classroom. “The teacher as a caregiver has to go beyond teaching. Their role is to demonstrate care,” Morales said. A s Bruner was bullied in middle school, he personally knows about struggling
my classroom,” Bruner said. Sidney Westervelt, sophomore in family and consumer science education, said that when she heard about Bruner’s project she wanted to get involved. “I just went for it,” she said. One of the cards that Westervelt held up to the camera said “You are worth so much more than you could ever imagine.” Westervelt said she chose that statement because she did a lot of projects in high school dealing with body image. “It is a good reminder for anyone to know that they are worth something and that someone loves them,” Westervelt said. When Westervelt saw the final video, she said it didn’t make her cry but it made her feel good that the message was being sent out there. “I loved it,” Westervelt said. “In my section of the class, many of the end of the year responses mentioned that it was a powerful piece. I’m so glad he stepped up. It took a lot of courage and willingness.” “I felt like this was that perfect moment to show our students that yes you can get invovlved. Yes, you can make a difference,” Pearson websites said.

discussing how to create a safe environment and bullying goes along with that. So, we’ve talked about making an atmosphere where your students feel safe to come to you if they have a problem ... it was kind of all implied.” Pearson said the main reason bullying was not a specific topic was because the teachers of Foundations of Education allow the students to bring it up in class. “I’ve never had a semester where we haven’t touched on bullying ... throughout every semester bullying comes up as one of those things that they don’t know how to deal

On the group’s page, Bruner asked the participants to, “use at least four note cards: Your Name (first name only, last initial optional), where you live (no more detailed than City, State. Or City, Country [if outside U.S.]), and a personal message to those being bullied (keep it short). On the last note card I want you to write “You are not alone!” To Bruner, the stories that had the personal touches were the most important to share.

Train, compete in a triathlon on bucket list Kelly Mchugh Every summer since we were seniors in high school, my best friend has competed in a triathlon in our home town of Fort Rucker, Ala. Every summer I meet her at the finish line with a high-five and say my infamous, "I'll train for one next year." So far, every 'next year' for me has been filled with unexpected events to keep me busy, and whenever summer rolls around, I am always standing at the finish line waiting for her in flip-flops, instead of running alongside her in my Nikes. Now, four 'next years' later, I have decided to go through with it, and on Sunday I kicked off my own triathlon training. The triathlon I am working toward is known as a "sprint" triathlon, and, depending on the host location, is made up of about a 500-meter swim, a 12-mile bike and a 3.2-mile run. There are plenty of locations from May to August which offer triathlons not only in Alabama and Kansas, but throughout the country. My workout plan is going to be simple. I have to be realistic with myself when I think about planning my workouts; between work and school, I do not have time for a lengthy workout every day, but I do make time for a good workout. Usually I would be taking Sunday off as a rest day, but since the gyms were closed on Monday this week, I started my training on Sunday with a high-intensity 30-minute run, a little over 3.5 miles for me, followed by a quick ab and pushup workout. Since I had to accommodate working out at home for Monday, I did a plyometric workout in my apartment. It consisted basically of a lot of squat and lunge exercises followed with crunches that lasted a total of only about 20 minutes. Tuesday marked the beginning of my swimming training. After spending four summers lifeguarding and teaching swimming lessons to 5-year-olds, one would assume I enjoy swimming. Well, unless it is on a beach on a hot, sunny day, the idea of jumping into chlorinated, freezing water has no appeal to me. While Tuesday mornings are going to be the death of me, I did it; I dove in and swam for about 45 minutes. I forgot how different of a workout swimming was compared to running. Wednesday I biked for 45 minutes, using the indoor, stationary bike since the weather outside is a little cold for my liking right now, and since the tires on my mountain bike are flat. I should probably look into getting a new bike to train with. Thursday, today, is my first day of rest, which I am going to take full advantage of and maybe even catch "The Office" on TV tonight. Friday I have planned a low-intensity 45 minute run, and Saturday I will join my friend, Grace Schwemmer, sophomore in kinesiology, in a CrossFit workout. Schwemmer is also training for a triathlon; however, she is using a completely different method of training than I am. Schwemmer's training will consist of mostly CrossFit training. CrossFit is a great way to exercise. Rather than lengthy workouts, CrossFit pushes a person to the max for about 15-20 minutes, which is an overall great way to improve endurance and strength. Sunday will be my day of down time, and, most likely, my day to catch up on work and school. This semester is going to be a busy one, but I know it will be worth it when I cross the finish line for the first time in May and I can finally check 'triathlon' off my bucket list.

UNKNOWN FUTURE
Possible changes for K-State football next season Corbin McGuire staff writer Two people. Two directions. Bryce Brown, the highly touted high school recruit out of Wichita, Kan. has entered his name into the 2012 NFL draft as an early entrant according to a story by Kellis Robinett of The Kansas City Star. Brown, who transferred from Tennessee to play football for Bill Snyder only played two games all season. Chris Cosh, the Wildcats’ defensive coordinator for the past three seasons, is also rumored to be leaving the Wildcat football program for the same position at the University of South Florida. Neither Brown nor Cosh have commented on their de-
partures, but the speculations, a product of the 24-hour news world we live in, have already begun in full force. Where will Brown be drafted, if he’s drafted at all? Will he hire an agent? Will he work out at the combine? Brown probably would be a lottery pick in the NFL, as the NFL draft tends to favor those with a higher “upside,” rather than a successful collegiate career. Take K-State’s own Jacob Pullen as an example. Unfortunately for Brown, his two seasons of college football were less than impressive. Brown rushed for 460 yards his freshman year at the University of Tennessee and followed it with 17 rushing yards in his sophomore
season with the Wildcats. These are not exactly numbers that will allow someone to shake NFL commissioner Roger Goodell’s hand on draft day. Cosh benefitted from having Arthur Brown, Bryce’s brother, at middle linebacker this season and now, if he does indeed leave, has opened up Pandora’s box of questions surrounding the Wildcat’s football program. Who will take over Cosh’s much improved defense next season? Will the person who replaces Cosh be hired from within the current coaching staff or will Snyder reach out to his large tree of past coaches to fill the void? With Oklahoma’s recent hiring of Mike Stoops, head coach Bob Stoops’ brother,
as assistant defensive coordinator with Brent Venables, will Venables see the ‘writing on the wall,’ and realize his chances of becoming a head coach are not high in Norman, Okla.? Will Snyder try to bring back Venables to his alma mater and maybe, just maybe, give Venables the coach-inwaiting title? So like the childhood game of telephone, we have gone from a report that the current defensive coordinator for the Wildcats is heading for South Florida to K-State hiring Venables to be the coach-inwaiting. As much as our society and media in particular, including myself, like to map out all the options of any issue like a GPS, most of the time it gets
everyone lost. Brown may impress scouts at the combine and move himself up the draft boards or he may not work out at all. Cosh may take his defensive coordinating skills to South Florida or he may decide he wants to stick it out in Manhattan. Neither Snyder, Brown nor Cosh is looking for help to program their own GPS, they will do what is best for themselves and the people close to them. And I’m sure they have their own Garmin, to get them going in the right direction. Corbin McGuire is a sophomore in journalism and mass communications.

Wildcats hold off Longhorns, continue streak over Texas schools with 84-80 win at home
Tommy Theis | Collegian
Rodney McGruder slams in a final dunk in the remaining seconds of the game against the Texas Longhorns at Bramlage Coliseum Wednesday. The Wildcats defeated the Longhorns, 84-80. Jared Brown staff writer The last time the Texas Longhorns traveled north for a basketball game at Bramlage Coliseum they were ranked No. 1 in the country. That night the ninth-ranked Wildcats, led by Jacob Pullen and Denis Clemente, sent the Longhorns back to Austin, Texas with an upset, 71-62. Wednesday night’s game didn’t feature Pullen or Clemente, and although neither team was ranked in the top 10,
“He made his threes early, you look at what he did tonight, he simply over-powered us inside.” J’Covan Brown Texas guard the result was similar. An 84-80 Wildcat victory. Tuesday, head coach Frank Martin said the team had one of their “best practices since before Christmas,” and that practice carried over to the Wildcats’ performance as five seconds into the game junior guard Rodney McGruder went in for a layup after K-State won the opening tip. Freshman guard Angel Rodriguez quickly followed McGruder’s layup with a 3-pointer of his own and less than a minute into the game the Wildcats were up 5-0. K-State’s tough defense would be a theme throughout the night as it took the Big 12 Conference’s leading scorer and Texas guard J’Covan Brown nearly five minutes before he scored his first basket. The Wildcats (13-4, 2-3) would build on their fast start. Midway through the first half KState hit three straight 3-pointers, two by McGruder and one
by sophomore guard Will Spradling. The threes would be followed by a tip-in from junior forward Jordan Henriquez that would give the Wildcats a 31-18 lead. K-State continued to score and extended the lead up to 36-21. The 15-point lead was the largest advantage K-State would have though as the Longhorns battled back in the latter part of the first half. With Brown struggling offensively, the Longhorns clawed their way back into the game behind the strong offensive performances by two freshman guards, Sheldon McClellan and Myck Kabongo, who scored 19 and 14 points, respectively. A dunk by Longhorn center Alexis Wangmene would tie the game at 38-38 and shortly after that, Brown would take a breakaway steal in for two more points that gave Texas its first lead of the game with two minutes left in the first half. Senior forward Victor Ojeleye put back a McGruder miss and the Wildcats took a 43-42 lead into halftime. The second half picked up where the first half left off. Both teams continued to exchange baskets and K-State took an 80-73 lead with a little over a minute left to play in the game. Brown made the last minute interesting after he hit a few shots to cut the lead down to three. Although finishing the game with 22 points, Brown had what many consider to be an off night, only hitting eight of 28 shots he attempted. K-State continued to struggle from the free-throw line and missed five consecutive free throws in the last minute to keep the Longhorns in the game. The Wildcats finished the game 21-39 (53.8 percent) from the line. After Texas (12-6, 2-3) closed the gap to 82-80, the Longhorns had a chance but a Martavious Irving steal led to a McGruder

Rodney McGruder, who scored 33 points against Texas, jumps over three defenders to score on a jump shot during the end of the second half of Wednesday’s game. dunk with eight seconds left that sealed the victory for the Wildcats. McGruder finished the night with 33 points, a new careerhigh. He has now scored 30 or more points in two of the last three games. The level that McGruder played on was no surprise to Texas head coach Rick Barnes. “He (McGruder) made his
threes early, you look at what he did tonight, he simply overpowered us inside,” said Barnes. McGruder now leads the Big 12 in scoring in conference games at 23.4 points per game. Barnes was not the only person who was not surprised by McGruder’s career-game. KState head coach Frank Martin shared similar sentiments and has even come to expect this
kind of play from McGruder. “I’m worried about inflation and I’m worried about taxes. I’m not worried about Rodney McGruder,” said Martin. “I’m ecstatic for him. I don’t know if he can keep up the pace that he’s been playing at. It started in Hawaii, in that last game

over there. I can tell you in my 27 years involved in basketball, he’s as good of a kid as I’ve ever been around and he cares as much as anybody that I’ve been around. I’m happy for his individual success but I’m happier for the way he’s fighting to lead this team.” An aggressive McGruder was able to score in multiple ways. He drove the lane, scored in the paint, hit jumpers. He shot 11-of-17 from the field and hit 4-of-6 from beyond the arc. He also added in eight rebounds. “I just tried to be aggressive, that’s all,” said McGruder. “I tried to be in attack mode. Frank told me to be aggressive and I’ve been shooting a lot of shots. It just fell for me tonight. It doesn’t mean anything if we would have lost this game because I want to win more than anything.” With the win, the Wildcats look to forget about those two straight losses and get back with their winning ways. “We’ve been walking around like a bunch of young kids who lost their dogs,” said Martin. “Our young kids are walking around like lost souls right now. You can’t win games if that’s how you feel. When you’re zoned in, and you’re good, and you’re emotional, it’s still hard-as-heck to go figure out a way to win. When you’re walking around like you lost your dog, you got no chance.” With this hard-fought win under the Wildcats’ belt and McGruder playing like an all-conference performer, it certainly seems like they are back on the right track. The Wildcats continue in Big 12 play and take on the Oklahoma State Cowboys this Saturday in Stillwater, Okla. Tip off is set for 12:30 p.m.

Proposed bills sparks debate on Internet freedom Kelsey Castanon managing editor SOPA and PIPA – the two acronyms and Congress bills that have sparked heavy Internet debates. Production companies and music industries want their copyrighted material protected, but big name websites are concerned about the acts’ ability to damage the free Internet. These acts have had Facebook and Twitter talking about a blackout. Multiple websites, including Wikipedia, protested on Wednesday for 24 hours. But what are these bills all about? SOPA, the Stop Online Piracy Act, and PIPA, the Protect Intellectual Property Act, were written with the incentive to stop the copying of movies, music and TV shows. In the eyes of the big name websites, it’s a case of Internet censorship. According to the New York Daily News, the bills are intended to eliminate theft online and would give copyright holders the author-
ity to penalize websites that host pirated content. Internet Protocol (IP) addresses would be required to block all use of websites that contain copyright violations. “The big Internet providers are the critics, while those for [the bills] are the production companies,” said Louise Benjamin, professor of journalism and mass communications. In fact, big name websites such as Wikipedia, Reddit and Wordpress shut down all access to their content. Each site provided statements in protest of the U.S. legislation acts, stating they threaten the free and open Internet. Most websites also urge users to contact their state representatives. Other large Internet providers like Google, TwitPic and Tumblr have blacked out their company logos in protest. In a formal statement released by Sue Gardner, executive director of the Wikimedia Foundation, she said: “My hope is that when Wikipedia shuts down on Jan. 18, people
will understand that we’re doing it for our readers. We support everyone’s right to freedom of thought and freedom of expression. We think everyone should have access to educational material on a wide
“I doubt very much that SOPA and PIPA will go into effect because they are too broad” Louise Benjamin professor of journalism and mass communications range of subjects, even if they can’t pay for it. We believe in a free and open Internet where information can be shared without impediment.” However, SOPA and PIPA were created for and backed by music industries and production companies. And while John Uthoff, associate professor of community
studies, theatre and dance, said he is not familiar with all proposed SOPA rules, he cannot see how pirating copyrighted material would be a freedom of speech issue. “If the artist that develops the songs, movies, books or computer programs cannot get paid for their creativity, there is no incentive for them to develop any artistic work,” Uthoff said. “Just because creative work is not an object, using it without permission is still wrong.” Uthoff said that many artists are OK with posting and sharing their work on the Internet, but the decision is entirely their choice. “It is not the same as someone else deciding to do it for them without their permission,” he said. Benjamin agreed that there is a need to protect intellectual property; however, the proposed bills are too general. There must be more verification and specifics in the action Congress plans to take. “I doubt very much that SOPA and PIPA will go into effect because they are too broad,” Benjamin said.
“In my opinion, it would shut down the way the Web operates.” She said that should these laws go into effect, access to information and the Internet could potentially be affected. However, the Internet blackout could open a lot of eyes for people unaware of the SOPA and PIPA acts. “It is one way to let the public know what’s going on because a lot of times people have no idea,” Benjamin said. Scott Louis, freshman in general agriculture, said he uses Google on a day-to-day basis, so if the provider were to black out completely, it would affect minor searches. However, if the blackout were to only last 24 hours, he would not be too worried. “One day won’t hurt me,” Louis said. Whether the Internet blackouts are enough to stop the acts will remain to be seen. According to abcsnews.com, a vote for PIPA is scheduled for Jan. 24.
WEEKLY 10
Top 10 civil rights leaders insistence on nonviolence, Chávez successfully protested injustices with public fasts and boycotts.
Laura Thacker We were all taught about the civil rights movement in history class, but this fight is an ongoing battle that is still happening in our day-to-day lives. In honor of Martin Luther King Jr. Day and the week-long celebrations here on campus, I have compiled a list, in no particular order, of the 10 civil rights leaders that I find most inspiring. 1. Septima Poinsette Clark Often referred to as the grandmother or queen mother of the civil rights movement, Clark’s name, like those of so many other women, was sadly absent from my history books growing up. An advocate of nonviolence, Clark’s main tool was education, as she continued to teach those around her despite being fired from her traditional teaching job for refusing to withdraw her membership from the NAACP. She, like many others on this list, continued her activism tirelessly well into her 80s.
3. Harvey Milk One of the first openly gay elected officials in U.S. history, Milk served on the San Francisco board of supervisors in the late ‘70s. While in office, Milk supported many civil rights issues, including a gay rights ordinance, not unlike the one that was struck down here in Manhattan, which called for the end of discrimination based on sexual orientation. Sadly, like others on this list, Milk was assassinated in 1978 after only serving his community for a short time. 4. Malcolm X Perhaps the most famous name on this list, Malcolm X emphasized a separatist take on civil rights, setting him apart from Martin Luther King Jr.
and other leaders who pushed integration. Founder of the Organization of Afro-American Unity, he encouraged self-determination and unity within his followers. Like Milk, Malcolm X was assassinated at a young age, but he left a lasting legacy. 5. W.E.B. DuBois One of the founders of the NAACP, DuBois may be most famous for his talent with pen and paper. Author of multiple written works, his most famous was probably “The Souls of Black Folk,” a piece which encouraged a fight for education, voting rights and civil equality among African-Americans. Although labeled a “radical” by many at the time, and living his final years in Ghana as an expatriate to the U.S., DuBois is nevertheless one of the most famous and well-respected men of the civil rights movement.
6. Alice Paul A founder of the National Women’s Party, Paul was an advocate for women’s suffrage, pushing for change at the national level. She is perhaps most famous for picketing the White House with other members of the NWP. Paul and her fellow suffragists were arrested for “obstructing traffic,” arrests which eventually led to hunger strikes to protest the conditions in the prison where they were held. Even through tortuous force-feedings and a move to declare her legally insane, Paul stood by her beliefs and refused to back down. 7. Radicalesbians Although this is a group and not an individual, they were all leaders in their own right. These women were some of the first to outwardly address discrimination against lesbians and fight back against the general heterosexism within the women’s movement. At the Second Congress to Unite Women, the group read “The WomanIdentified Woman,” one of the first steps for pushing lesbian rights within the movement. 8. Dolores Huerta Huerta is best known, along with
2. César Chávez Chávez co-founded the National Farm Workers Association, now called the United Farm Workers, a group formed in 1962 to organize farm workers and demand that their rights be recognized. A man with a staunch
Chávez, as the co-founder of the National Farm Workers Association. In addition to founding the organization, Huerta also fought against gender discrimination both within and outside of the organization. Still alive today, the 81-year-old travels the country speaking about issues of social justice. 9. Clyde Bellecourt As one of the founders of the American Indian Movement, Bellecourt has been a part of many campaigns to educate and work for improved conditions for Native Americans. Bellecourt was a part of numerous movements, including The Trail of Broken Treaties, which resulted in a takeover of the headquarters of the Bureau of Indian Affairs and the presentation of a 20-point solution to the president. Today Bellecourt is, among other things, an organizer for the National Coalition on Racism in Sports and Media. 10. Yuri Kochiyama One of the thousands of Japanese Americans placed in internment camps during World War II, Kochiyama used this experience as a launching pad for a civil rights career that is still ongoing. A close colleague of Malcom X, she has been active in multiple movements, from freeing political prisoners to the Puerto Rican Independence movement. Like so many other female civil rights activists, Kochiyama’s name is not often mentioned, but her work, and those of her fellow women, has led to great changes in our history.

“Red Tails” Coming: Jan. 20

semester, many look for escapes from the ever-burgeoning piles of homework and mundane daily tasks. For some, these escapes can be found in their local movie theatres, and the movie in-
of African-American fighter pilots during World War II who are given hand-me-down planes and mostly ignored; it’s when they’re finally called into action that they are really tested. This movie has some great things going for it and some things that leave it in an iffy area. The first thing that comes to mind is that Lucasfilm, a production company that hasn’t done much film-wise outside of the “Star Wars” franchise, produces the movie. Hemingway is an experienced director – he’s worked on many television shows and movies, but this his first foray into film direction. The film also boasts a talented cast, including Bryan Cranston from the popular show “Breaking Bad.” With “Red Tails” hitting this weekend, we’ll have to wait and see how it performs during its first two weeks at cinemas across the country.
boys who, after making an incredible discovery, gain telekinetic superpowers. This is not the only trend in the entertainment industry that the film follows, it looks as if the movie also uses the found footage angle, as seen in “Cloverfield” and “Paranormal Activity.” “Chronicle” is a movie many are cautiously optimistic about due to the fact that early viewings are receiving great feedback. This has caused 20th Century Fox to put Josh Trank on the shortlist for a darker reboot of the “Fantastic Four” franchise. Viewers can only hope that this movie stays away from the familiar and delivers a super-powered story that industry execs won’t squeeze to death in possible sequels.

John Carter” Coming: March 9
“The Avengers” Coming: May 4
Directed by: Joss Whedon Starring: Robert Downey Jr., Chris Evans, Chris Hemsworth, Samuel L. Jackson, Mark Ruffalo, Jeremy Renner, Scarlett Johansson and Tom Hiddleston Marvel Studios’ long-term plan for one cohesive cinematic universe for the Marvel Comics characters is finally coming its logical point: every character featured in their films up until the recent “Captain America: The First Avenger” will all come together for one huge teamup movie. The movie tells about Nick Fury (Jackson) getting the Avengers together for the first time to deal with the return of “Thor” antagonist Loki and his army. With so many A-list actors in one film, some may worry that the spotlight may not be able to handle so many individual focuses. This, however, can be some of the fun of “The Avengers” as Captain America, Iron Man and Thor all fight to lead the team in their own ways. It should also be noted that Whedon, of “Buffy the Vampire Slayer” and “Firefly” fame, is well-equipped to deal with large ensemble casts. Audiences have loved the individual Marvel Studios films, so we can only hope that “The Avengers” will deliver some brains with its showcase of super-powered brawn.
Directed by: Andrew Stanton Starring: Taylor Kitsch, Lynn Collins, Willem Dafoe, Bryan Cranston and Mark Strong Based on the “Barsoom” series by Edgar Rice Burroughs that was originally published starting in 1912, “John Carter” tells the story of a Civil War veteran who is mysteriously transported to a planet inhab-
“The Hunger Games” Coming: March 23
Director: Gary Ross Starring: Jennifer Lawrence, Josh Hutcherson, Liam Hemsworth and Stanley Tucci Coming in March is Hollywood’s latest adaptation of an adolescent book series. “The Hunger Games” is set in a potential future where the government elects a boy and girl from each of the twelve districts to fight to the death on live television. The main character, Katniss Everdeen
ited by 12-foot tall, four-armed green aliens and a princess in desperate need of his help. With Disney being involved in the making of this film, it’s surrounded by the doubts of many fans of Burroughs’ novels. Not helping is the fact that director Andrew Stanton, of Pixar film fame, explained the title change from the book’s original “A Princess of Mars” and the film’s original “John Carter of Mars” to “John Carter,” being all about unisex marketing. Disney’s track record in film adaptations isn’t exactly spotless either, considering their lackluster “Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time” video game adaptation. We can only hope that Disney is willing to be more daring with “John Carter” this March.
(Lawrence), volunteers to spare her younger sister and enters the games with male counterpart Peeta (Hutcherson). The lead of the film, Jennifer Lawrence (“X-Men: First Class,” “Winter’s Bone”), is one of the most talented young actresses in Hollywood at the moment, this adaptation holds a lot of promise considering its great supporting cast as well. The only thing holding back this film is Hollywood’s hesitancy about young adult novel adaptations and not funding them as fully as other sureto-earn franchises. One thing that shows some promise for the film series is that Ross is confirmed for a return to the sequel “Catching Fire” along with the cast and new writer, Simon Beaufoy (“Slumdog Millionaire,” “127 Hours”).

Andy Rao news editor The Graduate School announces the final doctoral dissertation of Brian Jordan titled “A Longitudinal Study of Selected Impacts of the School District Finance and Quality Performance Accreditation (SDFQPA) Act on Representative Kansas School Districts, 20022011.” The dissertation will be held Feb. 9 at 10 a.m. in Bluemont 368. Hand-in-Hand, a charity established to fight poverty, is holding a charity concert at the Manhattan Arts Center on Feb. 3 from 5 to 7 p.m. The organization is still looking for additional musicians to perform in the concert, and is holding auditions today and Friday at the Manhattan Arts Center from 3:30 to 5 p.m. Tickets are selling for $1, and can be bought prior to the concert.
Jakki Thompson assistant news editor The United States Department of Agriculture recently announced that K-State will be the recipient of a $3 million grant. This grant will help fund research in the College of Agriculture and will mainly be used to help develop new grain-based products to help send an abundance of food to developing nations. The grant is sponsored through the Micronutrient Fortified 1Food Aid Products Pilot, which is an initiative through the USDA. The college is planning a project based on fortifying food with sorghum by blending sorghum with corn, soy or cowpeas. The grant will continue to support the grain science department in the college in their continued research on more uncommon grains such as sorghum.
“The number of cases we’ve had for texting and driving have been fairly steady,” McEntire said. “We haven’t seen a lot of them. We’ve actually only had a handful come through here in the last couple of months. There are a lot more cases with talking while driving.” The city ordinance of handsfree driving has produced street signs, which warn and remind drivers of the laws. Specific texting reminders, however, are rarely seen, as that individual problem is still relatively new. “I didn’t get a big notice about this law at all,” Burkett said. “I like the idea of the safety implications the law has, but I think the focus should be more widespread. In the smaller neighborhoods, talking and texting laws just make things worse. It’s just charging people and it seems like the police only use it for a way to make money.” The Manhattan hands-free ordinance includes notable exceptions, including the definition of “hands-free.” According to the city law, electronic devices that include “any device that is voice-operated and that allows the user to send

or receive a text based communication without the use of either hand, except to activate or deactivate a feature or function,” is a hands-free device and can be used. The law is so infrequently used that Manhattan’s Town Hall has collected very little data on the law’s impact. “I can understand why the law wouldn’t apply to someone using a Bluetooth,” said David Jones, freshman in computer science. “The law seems to be made for people who are fumbling with their phones and dangerous on the road.” Jones often drives a mo-ped, for running errands or to travel to school, and he says that he sees many people daily breaking the hands-free ban. “It’s easy to tell when someone is on the phone. They will often cross the line too far at an intersection, and their reactions to lights are slow. It’s annoying.” Jones said. Texting and driving is a habit that people can fall into, a habit that is often very difficult to break. While some citizens do not agree with the law, making the effort to obey the law may be the decision that saves a life.

LUCKY’S | Bar to feature hip-hop artists, live music New Year’s
Eve shooting ends in death
Continued from page 1 “Other places have live music every once in a while, but it’s just not the same as what you can get here,” Beye said. “Other locations have a lot of issues with providing the right environment and just aren’t tailored to it, but this place is designed to make sure everybody has a good time.” Chase Fortune, sophomore in marketing, was present at the opening and said his experiences with the management at other venues were a huge part of why he planned on going to Lucky’s. “I had a great time at Johnny Kaw’s when they started doing their dubstep raves on Wednesday nights because the music, the lights and just the atmosphere in general made it an awesome place to be,” Fortune said. “Since it’s the same people that own Lucky’s I was expecting the environment to be similar, and I’ve had a good time at places like this.” Fortune, who recently celebrated his 21st birthday, said that even though he can now purchase and consume alcohol, the management at Johnny Kaw’s and Lucky’s made it a fun environment for customers who were old enough to drink as well as minors. “If you’re at one of these 18 and over bars with live music and you’re not 21, you don’t have to drink to have fun,” Fortune said. “Just enjoy the music and the atmosphere.” Allred said that one of his priorities was making sure that all events followed the law and to make sure that all of his customers were enjoying themselves responsibly. “We want to ensure that we’re following all of the codes and regulations that the city and the

The bar will also have DJs in house on Wednesdays and Saturdays, live music on Thursdays and Fridays, and open mic nights on Sundays. “Manhattan needed something new and unique, and that’s what we’re trying to do with Lucky’s,” Allred said. “We’re looking forward to starting strong.”
Andy Rao news editor At approximately 4 a.m. on Jan. 1, Frederick Beverly was murdered near 1827 Fairlane, just in front of the Assassin’s Motorcycle Club clubhouse. Police investigation has identified a female witness who was in the vicinity of the crime and may have additional details. The witness was observed riding in a small black vehicle with two other females. The vehicle was playing music loudly. After the occupants of the vehicle were denied entrance to the clubhouse, the witness was found in the area of the storage sheds across the street from the clubhouse at the time of the murder. The Riley County Police Department is trying to locate a light skinned female possibly named Melissa, who is approximately six feet tall.
To report any information or additional details regarding this case, please contact Detective Runyan at the RCPD, 785-537-2112 ext. 2465.
