Candidates Ayres, Baalman: ‘Your Degree. Your Campus. Your Voice.’ COMMITMENT TO ‘YOUR CAMPUS’

KAITLYN ALANIS THE COLLEGIAN

Two and a half years at Kansas State have been filled with more than just their favorite cream cheese pizza, long hours in the library studying for engineering exams — or listening to podcasts — and dreams of spending a day wake-boarding at Tuttle Creek with Willie the Wildcat. For Jack Ayres, junior in chemical engineering and candidate for student body president, and Olivia Baalman, junior in computer science and candidate for student body vice president, “purple is a commitment.” They said they have been committed to representing students through their two and a half years in student government and are now even more committed to representing students at a greater level as they campaign for student body president and vice president. “To me, purple is a commitment,” Ayres said. “A commitment to your community, community being K-State students past, present and future, as well as those in Manhattan. When I think of purple, I think ‘do whatever it takes to serve the community in which we are all a part of.’ The reason why K-State is as great as it is today is because of that commitment to purple. It’s students being committed to each other.” The pair said they know through their prior experience in the Student Governing Association, as well as their interactions with other students on campus, that their platforms will work to fill needs or enhance areas of campus that students would like to see completed.

COMMITMENT TO ‘YOUR DEGREE’

In their first of three platforms, “Your Degree,” Ayres and Baalman plan to initiate a “Finish in 4” campaign, enhanced teacher transparency standards and improved advising across all of the colleges.

Austin Fuller | THE COLLEGIAN

Jack Ayres, junior in chemical engineering, and Olivia Baalman, junior in computer science, stand in front of Anderson Hall in the center of Kansas State University’s campus on Jan. 27. “One of the key components of ‘Your Degree’ is our ‘Finish in 4’ campaign,” Ayres said. “That means we’re providing students the tools and resources they need in order to plan to graduate with a degree in four years.” They said it is a common misconception that students think taking 12 credit hours a semester will keep them on track to finishing a degree in four years. “Basically we want to make sure students right out of the gate know what the expectations are to graduate cost efficiently since tuition is rising so much,” Baalman said. “We don’t want them to think of the 12-credit-hour misconception.” Ayres said the biggest component to making this

campaign possible will be improved academic advising technology, the second part of their ‘Your Degree’ platform. “Right now, we use a largely outdated system,” Ayres said. “The DARS reporting system serves a very good purpose because it’s all about data. However, I have met very little students who know how to read a DARS report or who can read it at ease.” The team hopes to make DARS reports more interactive with the ability to run “graduation checks,” which would allow students to test different scheduling scenarios to ensure it is efficient for a four-year graduation. “A big advantage of this is it will make time with advisers more valuable,” Ayres

said. “95 percent of my time with my adviser is spent talking about my schedule. Those tasks can be done with the online advising technology, then our conversations can be, ‘How is your prep for your career?’ If advisers had to worry less about degree requirements, they could spend more time trying to improve the student as a whole.” One other component of “Your Degree” is teacher transparency. “We want to make some type of standard where teachers would be able to get grades in a week before the final exam,” Baalman said. “On top of that, after final exams, we’d also like professors to actually put what score you got on your final exam and not just post your final grade in KSIS.”

In the team’s second platform, “Your Campus,” they plan to work on an on-campus food pantry, improved transportation on campus, enhancements to the K-State app and a multicultural student center. “In this platform, we are discussing offerings from K-State in relation to facilities and technology,” Ayres said. “A big component of ‘Your Campus’ is really what we hear students talking a lot about, a need for new and improved facilities, such as a center for underrepresented and nontraditional students on campus. I think it’s important we are committed to the success of all students on campus.” Ayres said the communication currently is not where it needs to be between university administration and K-State students. He said he wants to hold administration accountable to making this a two-way street where administrators become transparent through a committee that includes students. “Another aspect of ‘Your Campus’ that we have heard a lot about from students is an on-campus food pantry,” Baalman said. “The first time I was told students who don’t have a full-time job are not eligible to use the Flint Hills Food Pantry was astonishing to me. I think there’s a real need to make sure we are serving our students in any way we can.” Baalman said they would also like to see a drop-off line at Bill Snyder Family Stadium to make it safer for students on game days. Also relating to transportation, Ayres said they would like to see a GPS tracking sys-

tem implemented into the ATA bussing system.

COMMITMENT TO ‘YOUR VOICE’

As part of the third platform of their campaign, “Your Voice,” Ayres and Baalman said they would like to improve transparency among student leaders, administrators and students. “‘Your Voice’ is all about increasing ways to increase the power of student voice,” Ayres said. “Olivia and I are committed to making ourselves as transparent as possible. It’s both of our leadership styles and I would like to continue what we have seen as a growing and improving trend recently: trying to make K-State and SGA much more transparent and accessible and easy for students to have their voice heard.” Ayres and Baalman would also like to see a reporting system through the K-State app where students can report things such as a handrail on campus that is unsafe or a blue light that doesn’t work. “We’d also like to add an SGA form where students can voice their concerns to us,” Ayres said. The team said if they are elected they will hold office hours in their SGA office where students can come and speak to them. “It’s a way of holding us accountable,” Baalman said. Four candidates filed for the 2017 student body president election. A story on Matt Mindrup is on page four. The Collegian contacted the other two candidates, but did not hear back by 9 p.m. Monday. Stories on them may be published in the future.

President, vice president candidates Mindrup, Zwick: ‘Focused on You.’ KAITLYN ALANIS THE COLLEGIAN

Matt Mindrup and Emily Zwick, candidates for student body president and vice president, sit down with the Collegian to talk about their campaign: “Focused on You.” They are focused on more than Call Hall’s chocolate ice cream, game days with their friends and a purple-dominated wardrobe. They are focused on students. Matt Mindrup, sophomore in biology and candidate for student body president, and Emily Zwick, junior in agricultural economics and candidate for student body vice president, said a major focus of their campaign is students and their concerns, which is why they came up with the slogan “Focused on You.” “We’ve really taken a ‘Focused on You’ approach by reaching out to every campus organization and we have tons of groups to visit still, but we really enjoy it,” Mindrup said. “We’ve received a ton of great feedback already and they’ve been really excited that we’re coming to them.” “We really just want to be approachable to students,” Mindrup continued. “And if we’re elected, we’ll still be that way. We will continue to visit student groups.” If elected, Mindrup said their game plan is to put every campus organization’s name in a hat and pick out two to five organizations to visit with each week. “We will be there for them and listen to their concerns,” Mindrup said. “We really think that’s the most important part of this job. We do have platforms and they’re great, but the most important part will be to be there for students, to hear their concerns and to listen to them. And the best way to do that is to go to them and not make them come to us.” To prove they are focused on students, the pair said they did not just decide on three platforms that they were most passionate about. Instead, when they started their campaign planning in September, they started with 15-20 ideas and finally narrowed them down to a list of six.

Mindrup and Zwick then took their six platform ideas to the organizations they met with and asked the members to fill out a survey and vote for the platforms they thought were most important to Kansas State students.

“When I told (Emily) I’d like to run with her, she was very surprised,” Mindrup said. “I think that Emily is the perfect complement to me because we have a diverse look into involvement in the school and I think it’s really awe-

affects the entire university and, if elected, we would have this opportunity to work for these new students right off the bat, which would be great because we love talking to students and working with people.”

sue all six. “We actually decided we’re going to pursue all six because a lot of the comments were, ‘It’s really hard for me to choose,’” Mindrup said.

LIBRARY HOURS

After Hale Library cut their hours due to university-wide budget cuts, Mindrup said they felt more could be done to help students. “We spent a lot of time meeting with Dean Goetsch (dean of K-State Libraries) about what we can do and we identified several different ways to increase their hours,” Mindrup said. Whether it is through a grant of privilege fee allocation, Mindrup and Zwick said they are passionate about increasing the hours Hale Library is open to students.

PEER MENTORING

“As freshmen, Matt and I both got set up with peer mentors through groups on campus,” Zwick said. “We both felt like we benefited greatly from these peer mentors and felt it was unfair only select groups get these opportunities to have a mentor. We really want all students, whether a freshman or transfer student, to be able to have a peer mentor.” To make this possible, Zwick said they have already been talking to K-State First, an organization that offers programs for first-year students. Austin Fuller | THE COLLEGIAN

Matt Mindrup, sophomore in biology and philosophy, and Emily Zwick, junior in philosophy and agricultural economics, stand in front of Anderson Hall in the center of Kansas State Universities’ campus on Jan. 30. “This was a decision we made as a result of us not wanting to be focused on concerns of students from just one area of campus,” Zwick said. “We reached out to a wide variety of organizations and wanted to know how these would affect different groups on campus.”

AN OUTSIDER’S PERSPECTIVE

While Mindrup served as a Student Governing Association intern and is currently a senator for the College of Arts and Sciences, Zwick does not have experience directly related to SGA.

some that she brings an outsider’s perspective into SGA. I might see things a certain way and she’s able to say, ‘Well what if we think about it this way or that way.’ This really complements our pairing.” Mindrup and Zwick said they met while working with potential students at New Student Services. “I think this really gives us an advantage because we understand the recruitment process,” Mindrup said. “Recruitment is huge and affects everything from enrollment numbers to tuition and everything across the board. The amount of students we have

Zwick said their work with New Student Services gives them an advantage because they hear what students want and the services they wish K-State offered. “It gives us an idea of what would be good for K-State and a lot of times we’re like, ‘Oh, this would enhance the K-State experience if we could offer them that,’” Zwick said.

PURSUING SIX PLATFORMS

The original plan was to narrow their six potential platforms down, but after receiving the student surveys they decided to pur-

ACADEMIC ADVISING

Mindrup and Zwick said they realize there may not be a “one size fits all” advising program that works in all of K-State’s colleges, but they would like to see a standard set in all of them. “Every student should receive the same standard of advising,” Mindrup said. “We’ve identified some things that should be the same such as the university advising syllabus, professional programming for advisers and peer-advising.”

PUBLIC SPEAKING

Public speaking is one of the three classes at K-State that every student has to take in order to graduate, Zwick said. “A lot of times students have already taken this class in high

school, so by the time they have to take it in college it’s very ‘same old, same old,’” Zwick said. Mindrup and Zwick said they do not want to get rid of the requirement, but they would like to give students more class offerings to meet the public speaking requirement. “For example, I’m a pre-law student, so I could take a speaking class on how to present in a courtroom,” Zwick said. “Matt is biology, so he could take a class on how to present research.”

CAMPUS FOOD PANTRY

Mindrup said they have taken the approach of working with various groups on campus who have already been working on bringing a food pantry to campus for over three years. “We’ve been able to coordinate with the smaller food pantries with Office of Student Life, K-State Wesley and College of Education,” Mindrup said. “We’ve got this network and we’re in the process of applying for a grant to get 1,200 pounds of food a week delivered to campus from Harvester’s to store at Lafene.” Mindrup said they do not want to take credit for what other organizations have done, but they have actively been working with those groups since October. “We’re taking the approach of this is a problem now and we need to combat it now, so what are the solutions we can do while we don’t have funding or a permanent space on campus and we’ve found a way around that,” Mindrup said. “And if we were elected, we would push for that permanent space. That’s all up in the air, so we’re focused on the impact we actually can make.”

ACTIVE SHOOTER TRAINING

When concealed carry is permitted on campus effective July 1, Mindrup and Zwick said they want students to feel safe and know what to do if an active shooter is on campus. “I think it would be really beneficial to incorporate ALICE training into orientation and enrollment or an online tutorial that students are required to take,” Zwick said.

Glued change on K-State’s campus makes for a sticky challenge KAITLYN ALANIS THE COLLEGIAN

Free money is free money. But as any economist might say, “There’s no such thing as a free lunch,” and somebody pays for all things “free.” For some Kansas State students, their “free money” comes from loose change they find and pick up around campus. Their eyes scan the ground for shiny coins in hope of finding quarters for their coin jars or to buy a candy bar. Stephen Kucera, senior in accounting and music, said stopping to pick up coins is worth the effort required to kneel down and pick them up. He has collected over a dollar in loose change since he got back to campus after winter break. But sometimes “free money” can be a little bit sticky, especially when coin collectors discover the not-so-loose change has been glued to the ground in more than one place on campus. Jael Whitney, junior in marketing, said she has fallen victim to glued change every single year

she has been at K-State, and in two different locations. “The first time it was a quarter glued to the hill that goes up to Boyd Hall,” Whitney said. “I think there’s one there now, actually.” Megan Hiser, senior in family studies and human services, said she has fallen for a dime glued to the ground, also in front of Boyd Hall. “It’s still there and I fall for it every single time,” Hiser said. “Right in front of Boyd hall on the side walk there’s this dime and there’s been maybe five times where I legitimately thought I could get it. Now it’s kind of a game to me and I just kick it every time I walk by hoping it will come off the next time. It’s infuriating.” “There was actually a time where I walked past it and it was gone and I was actually sad I wasn’t the one who got the dime finally,” Hiser continued. “Then I came back a week later and saw that someone glued a new one, so someone is committed.” The glued change is not just in front of Boyd Hall, though, as Whitney said she most recent-

Review: “The Trump Survival Guide” by Gene Stone CALEB SNIDER

THE COLLEGIAN

Immediately upon reading the title, it’s pretty well assumed that the majority of those who will read this book can best be classified as liberals. While that assumption is most likely true, I would still encourage everyone, no matter what your ideology is, to read this book and try to understand why there is so much fear about Donald Trump’s presidency. “We’ve Never Known Less About an Incoming President’s Ideology,” Gene Stone quoted from FiveThirtyEight. This was definitely a central theme of Stone’s book, as he writes about what President Trump might

do, and acknowledges that much of the fear about Trump is not clearly knowing his positions on key policies. In his book, Stone discusses 12 major issues affecting the U.S. today, ranging from civil rights issues to entitlement programs and national security. Each chapter begins with a short and informative history on a particular issue, then discusses what former President Barack Obama did related to that issue and what Trump might do, and ends with advice on how to get involved in activist organizations. So, for example, Stone starts off his chapter about the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act, commonly known as “Obamacare” by quoting Trump saying, “ObamaCare is

as the quarter wouldn’t budge, I knew what was up. I was still embarrassed about it, though, so my immediate reaction was to audibly say, ‘It’s not real’ and quickly stand up and walk away.” And of course, there were plenty of people around to see the failed attempt at earning a free quarter.

see page

8, “TRUMP”

A PENNY SAVED IS A PENNY EARNED

Hiser said it does not matter if the coin is heads up or tails up, she is still going to attempt to pick it up. "I always, always (pick up coins on the ground)," Hiser said. "It’s something my mom and I have always done and we get excited when we find some. Now she’ll text me like, ‘I found a

lucky penny,’ and I’ll be like, ‘Oh that’s awesome, I found a quarter today!’ Free money is free money, man." Hiser collects her coins in a jar and only spends it if she is really desperate for something. Also an avid coin picker-upper, Whitney said she always picks up any loose change she finds. "Finding a penny is supposed to be good luck and all that change adds up after a while," Whitney said. "I just found a regular quarter last week. Actually, last year, I found a wad of about $50. I turned it in, but no one ever claimed it, so I got to keep it." Whitney said on average she makes enough to buy a candy bar or two with her found change. "As you can see, I am clearly making a lot of dough off this change-grabbing deal, so I'd rather not have too much competition," Whitney said. "But if you are thinking of getting in the business, kicking the change before you try to pick it up will help deter you from wasting effort on a glued-down quarter."

a total disaster. Hillary Clinton wants to save it by making it even more expensive. Doesn’t work, I will repeal and replace.”

“I was on my way to class, so there were lots of people around,” Whitney said. “I’m sure someone saw, but it’s K-State, so they were nice enough not to laugh at me.” Kucera said he was able to laugh at himself when he fell victim to the glued change, mostly because this was not his first time around. “I saw the quarter on my way to my early morning class,” Kucera said. “I rounded the corner and a glint of the sun on metal caught my eye. I bent down to pick up the quarter only to discover that it had been glued to the sidewalk. I laughed, because I had fallen for this exact same quarter last semester.”

TRUMP | Navigating a new era continued from page

This gives the reader some idea as to what Trump’s position is. Next, he goes over the history of the health care fight in the U.S. and how President Richard Nixon and a liberal Democrat senator, Edward M. Kennedy, were working on a compromise between a single payer health care system and subsidies for low-income citizens before the Watergate scandal ruined Nixon. Yes, that’s right. Richard Nixon, a Republican, was in the midst of compromising with a liberal senator on what could have been the most progressive health care legislation in our country’s history. Stone moves on to discuss Obama’s fight in getting his signature health care plan enacted and the benefits it has produced for millions of Americans. He then discusses what Trump and the Republican-controlled Congress may do, which he believes is repealing the Affordable Care Act, and the impact of doing so. He wraps up the chapter by encouraging people to write to their legislators to keep the law and provides a list of organiza-

tions to volunteer for. For anyone looking to get involved in activism but isn’t sure how to get started this book is a must read! My favorite aspect about the book was actually the way Stone organized the chapters. He provides the readers a concise, sober look at the history of specific issues, which so often get distorted, while appreciating the progress Obama made during his presidency.

The sections discussing what Trump might do and how to get engaged in activism was a brilliant technique in what I perceive as Stone attempting to increase political engagement.
