K-State senior guard Jacob Pullen (0) is crowded by his teammates during the final seconds of the second half of K-State’s matchup against Kansas in Bramlage Coliseum, Feb. 14. Pullen scored 38 points. The Wildcats defeated the Jayhawks 84-68.

‘Cats knock oﬀ second No. 1 team on Big Monday Ashley Dunkak senior staff writer “Don’t stop believing.” It’s been easier said than done for K-State men’s basketball fans this season, but the Wildcats provided a compelling reason to keep the faith with their 84-68 shellacking of the No. 1 Jayhawks, who held the top spot in national polls for less than 24 hours before K-State dealt them their second loss of the season. Kansas head coach Bill Self said the Wildcats were simply the better team. “Let’s just call it like it is: that was a beatdown,” Self said. “That was a beatdown. In my opinion, I thought they controlled the game from the opening tip. We were on our heels. Even early on, we were still on our heels and they got control of the game about 21-11, I think.” From the very beginning of the game, the Wildcats went strong to the basket. The forwards played like they had nothing to fear against Marcus and Markieff Morris, one of the most dangerous tandems in the country. K-State’s audacity paid off, as the team had drawn two fouls each from Marcus and Markieff only halfway through the first half. Due in part to the foul trouble but also to the Wildcats’ smothering defense, the dynamic duo suffered greatly; Marcus Far Right: Markieff Morris, junior center, tries to block Jacob Pullen, senior guard as he shoots a 3-point basket during the game against Kansas.

That did not happen on Monday night. “Last in the first half and then early in the second half, they continued to make pushes,” Martin said. “And our guys, every push they made, our team responded.” With over 11 minutes to play in the game, the Wildcats had some foul trouble.

BASKETBALL | pg. 6

The Kansas State Marching Band began its journey as the “Pride of Wildcat Land” in 1887 with 15 members. Today, the band has over 300 members from various parts of the United States. Led by band director Frank Tracz, the band has played at many different venues and events throughout the year; however, the Pinstripe Bowl is the most recent. This year’s drum major C.J. Longabaugh, senior in music education, led the marching band to success and more. When Longabaugh arrived at K-State for his freshman year of college, he was in a new environment and surrounded by people he didn’t know. The feeling of unfamiliarity was quickly erased after Longabaugh’s first week of band practice. “The first week of band was a way to build relationships with people that were interested in the same things I liked and the university,” said Longabaugh. “I enjoyed being surrounded by people who had the K-State spirit.” Throughout the first week of band practice, Longabaugh realized he admired the leadership of the drum major and decided that was going to be his future role. The drum major is responsible for leading other band members through practices and routines. “I admired the leadership qualities the drum major my freshman year had,” said Longabaugh. “He made me realize there is more to being drum major than just conducting the band.” Longabaugh worked up through several different leadership roles in the band before he became drum major. Throughout his various leadership roles, Longabaugh has learned that in order to be a good leader you must be driven, prepared, care and listen to maximize leadership affects. “You must be driven at everything you do in life,” said Longabaugh. “Good leaders are continually improving and always want to get better at everything. Longabaugh described the importance of preparation. “Preparation is highly important in band because the band needs to be able to know the counts for each transition,” Longabaugh said. “The band is relying on me to be able to lead them during performances.” “Caring and listening go hand in hand when working with people,” Longabaugh said. “People know that you care about something by the way you listen and act. If you act like you care, people will care more too.” Longabaugh incorporates all of these into his leadership and lifestyle. As he prepares to graduate in May, Longabaugh continues to learn and grow through his role as drum major. “As the drum major I want the band to look up to me and aspire to be contributing to people in the world,” Longabaugh said. “I want them to do something for the greater good and grow as individuals.” Drum major try-outs will be in March and selections announced in April. The “Pride of Wildcat Land” has already began preparing for next year by working on new material and thinking of more ways they could get involved in the community.

Danny Davis senior staff writer Legislation for improvements to the Riley County Senior Service Center will come before the City Commission tonight. The improvements are part of the Community Block Grant Entitlement Program. The City of Manhattan joined the program in July 2010. As part of the program, a 2010-2014 Consolidated Plan lays out objectives and activities for the community. One of those objectives is for the city to support community facilities in an effort to improve the quality of life for low and moderate income citizens. Improvements in the program include the replacement of the heating, ventilation and air conditioning (HVAC) system and a new roof. These improvements will be funded by the grant program. The project was estimated to cost $110,000. The lowest bid received from contractors was $83,000, but it did not fulfill all the requirements of the bid application. The second lowest bid was from R.M. Baril General Contractor, Inc., in the amount of $84,248. Also on the agenda is legislation to relocate and install a gas line for the Department of Homeland Security’s National Bio and AgroDefense Facility (NBAF). In 2007,

the city approved a resolution in support of locating NBAF in Manhattan and committed $5 million for NBAF to locate to Manhattan. The city already holds a contract with Westar Energy for relocating infrastructure to the NBAF site. The DHS requested the city use part of the $5 million allocation to fund the gas line relocation and installation. Relocation and installation of the gas line will cost $26,943.56. In another project, the city made an agreement with Trane Commercial Systems to analyze energy consumption and possible savings for the city. The Facility Conservation Improvement Program allows for cities in Kansas to contract with an approved energy service company. Trane’s audit of the city’s systems determined a number of savings for the city. The largest savings come with electric and gas usage. With the installation of more efficient HVAC systems, Manhattan can save an estimated $768,814 in more than 10 years. By replacing equipment, Trane also estimated the city can save $267,330 in more than 10 years in operations and maintenance costs. Trane estimated the total savings to be $1.46 million. The meeting begins at 7 p.m. in the City Commission Room at City Hall. The meeting is open to the public.

A NEW HIGH Kynard breaks own record at Tyson Invitational Justin Nutter staff writer As the 2011 track season continues, breaking records is becoming part of Erik Kynard, Jr.’s regular routine. The sophomore high jumper captured a first place finish at Saturday’s Tyson Invitational in Fayetteville, Ark. His jump of 7-7.75 not only beat two of the nation’s best in Mississippi’s Ricky Robertson and Indiana’s Derek Drouin, but it also broke the K-State record that he set earlier this season. Kynard appeared to be in trouble after missing his first attempt at 7-6.25 and the other two jumpers cleared the height, but he made the jump on his next try and went on to win the competition. “To me, what was most impressive about the competition is (Kynard) missed his first attempt at 24 (2.24 meters), and I think he knew during the approach that he was in trouble on that attempt,” head coach Cliff Rovelto said. “Then he came back and made the next attempt quite easily. At that point, he was down on misses and he was last in the order. He not only made it, but it was probably his best jump of the day.” The Toledo, Ohio native’s mark not only tops the NCAA ranks this season, but it stands as the third highest jump in collegiate history – the highest since 1990 – and currently ranks fifth in the world. Kynard wasn’t the only Wildcat to etch his name in the record book over the weekend. Junior combined athlete Mantas Silkaus-

kas now owns the school’s top spot in the 60-meter hurdles after crossing the finish line in 7.74 seconds in Friday’s preliminary race. Silkauskas wasn’t quite as fast in the finals, but still managed a fourthplace finish with a time of 7.88. “The thing with Mantas is that he’s run some fast races when he has been in the lead, but when he’s run with other fast people, he’s had a tendency to kind of get out of his race, get close to hurdles, hit hurdles, that kind of thing. Here, he was competing against some of the best guys in the country. Not only was he able to defeat most of them, but he ran his race.” K-State also had several athletes in action at the Iowa State Classic in Ames, Iowa. Rovelto said several Wildcats enjoyed solid performances at the weekend meet, but none was more impressive than freshman distance runner Meghan Heuer. Heuer, an Illinois native whom also runs on the cross country team, finished 10th in the women’s one-mile run with a time of 4:49.43. “Meghan Heuer really ran well in the mile,” Rovelto said. “From where she was in high school a year ago to what she’s running now, that’s pretty big. That was probably the highlight of the meet for us.” The Wildcats will return home this weekend when they host the KSU Open on Friday at Ahearn Field House. Field events will start at 2:30 p.m. with the men’s and women’s weight throw, and running events Anthony Drath | Collegian will start at 4 p.m. with the Senior in combined events, Moritz Cleve, releases his pole after he clears the bar in men’s and women’s onethe men’s pole vault at the Wildcats Invitational on Jan. 22 in Ahearn Field House. mile run.

Banks should bounce back from stabbing incident

Sean Frye In case you haven’t heard the news yet, at approximately 3 a.m. on Saturday, former K-State wide receiver Brandon Banks was involved in a stabbing incident outside the park at Fourteenth nightclub in Washington, D.C. Banks’ wounds were not serious, and he has been in stable condition since his admittance to the hospital. But his friend, Christopher Nixon, is still in critical condition. Banks remained

hospitalized Monday night, but is expected to be released as soon as today. The news came as a shock to many fans, both from the Washington, D.C. area, where I resided prior to beginning my studies here, and here in Manhattan. Banks’ story thus far has been one of optimism. Only listed at 5-foot-7, he made a name for himself on campus for electrifying the crowd with his kick returns, as well as his speed and ability to grab yards after the catch for the Wildcats. The doubters were still there, though. Behind the curtain of his height, they proclaimed his chances to make an NFL roster were slim to none. After going undrafted, he was signed by the Washington

Redskins as an undrafted free agent. From there, he continued to go about his usual ways of proving every single doubter wrong. He scored a touchdown off a 77-yard punt return during the Redskins’ first preseason game, then became a fan favorite after doing the “John Wall” dance as his celebration. Then, in week six of the regular season, he blocked a field goal attempt. Finally, it seemed as though his NFL career had a long and bright future after he took one 96 yards to the house in week eight against the Detroit Lions. Banks is a beloved by fans not just in Manhattan, and not just in Washington, D.C, but also around the country for his “can do” attitude and determination despite his height. That’s why this latest stabbing

incident comes as such a shock to so many. A man by the name of Jason Shorter has been identified by police as the alleged assailant. While prosecutors had initially intended to charge Shorter with assault with the intent to kill, but it appears that due to Banks’ friend Nixon initiating the contact, they decided to go with a lesser charge of assault with a deadly weapon. The incident is mind boggling, but it appears as though Banks, despite being in the wrong place in the wrong time, showed his character. According to police documents, Banks is described as being merely a friend of Nixon, and tried to intervene in the fight in order to settle the situation. As I mentioned earlier, Washington, D.C. is my true

home away from K-State. All I’ll say is that people in the area are very much on edge, as you’ll see in any major city. People do not take kindly to jokes or verbal jabs as kindly as they do here. Miscommunication is a major social problem in the area – just look at Capitol Hill and the White House. But, nevertheless, Wildcat fans should still be proud of their wide receiver, both for his on and off the field actions. I have no doubt that, just like throughout his career thus far, he will prove the doubters wrong and return from this incident stronger than ever.

Wildcat tennis off to second 6-0 start in program’s history Danny Davis senior staff writer The K-State women’s tennis team is off to just its second 6-0 start in the program’s history and is ranked No. 52. The Wildcats first went 6-0 in 1989. K-State began the weekend with a 6-1 win over Louisiana-Lafayette on Saturday in Denton, Texas. After starting the competition down 0-1 with the loss of the doubles point, the Wildcats persevered in singles play. Junior Nina Sertic led the Wildcats at the top of the lineup. She defeated Sandra Ahlqvist, 6-2, 6-2. Freshman Petra Niedermayerova played the first three-set match of her spring career. After losing the first set 2-6, she came back with 6-1, 6-2 sets to defeat Julie Mazinova. Senior Antea Huljev also lost her first set and had to fight through a three-set match. Sophomore Karla Bonacic extended her win streak to five singles matches, improving her career record to 21-21. Coach Steve Bietau said Saturday’s match was the first

outdoors match for the team and required an adjustment period. Winning outdoors, he said, was an important step for the team and he thinks confidence and skills are improving. On Sunday, the Wildcats beat No. 62 North Texas in a 5-2 victory. They won every doubles match, an improvement after losing the doubles point against Louisiana-Lafayette the previous day. Bietau said changing the doubles partners contributed to the improved performance. “When you get a new partner, there’s a newness that goes with that,” Bietau said. “It makes everyone more alert and a little bit sharper.” The doubles performance is going to remain the focus of improvement in the coming weeks, he said. “The improvement we’re looking for can’t be completed in a week’s time,” Bietau said. “We’re definitely looking for intermediate steps, but to get where we want to be with doubles, it’s going to take awhile.” Bonacic and Huljev started K-State off with an 8-2 win in the first doubles po-

sition. From there, the duo of sophomore Ana Gomez Aleman and junior Petra Chuda continued the team’s doubles reign. Niedermayerova teamed with Sertic and closed out the doubles play with an 8-5 score. Niedermayerova played at the No. 1 singles position and didn’t allow any points as she defeated Paula Dinuta. “Petra got on a bit of a roll in that match,” Bietau said. “It’s just so hard to win points against her and when you do win points against her, you pay a high price.” Bonacic now holds a six-match win steak after a three-set match against Barbora Vykydalova. North Texas was the second ranked team K-State has defeated this season. On Saturday, the Wildcats will begin the first of several home matches when they play the University of Arkansas-Little Rock.

K-State upsets No. 1 again

Tyler Scott Round one in Lawrence did not go the way K-State wanted. However, K-State played the best it has all season and made symbolic history, beating the Kansas 84-68 in the second go-around. This was the best game I have ever seen KState play – even more than when the Wildcats beat the Jayhawks in 2008. Bramlage Coliseum was loud as it should have been and K-State came out strong, going up 10-8 in the first five minutes. I have a feeling that head coach Frank Martin showed the team the video of the Kansas-Texas game to warm up to this intense border showdown. K-State’s energy was the best it has been all season, as senior guard Jacob Pullen scored 11 points in the first eight minutes-23 total in the first half. To make things even more exciting, Kansas’s Marcus Morris let his mouth do the performance for him early as he picked up two technical fouls. Kansas also had nine turnovers in the early goings of the first half. Something that struck me as a little odd was the Jayhawks having trouble on the offensive end especially finding openings using their cross-court passing they love to run. The Jayhawks were also successful on one alley-oop bucket, which is something Kansas has become accustomed to in the past. The first half was all in all a shock. The Wildcats couldn’t have had a more intriguing performance early on. Pullen was having the game of his life, but the team would need to find other players to cupel with his statistics. The Jayhawks leading scorer after 20 minutes of play was Marcus Morris and Kansas also had four players including Marcus with two fouls. Kansas had a total of 11 team fouls in the half compared to K-State’s grand total of eight. The Wildcats were also getting some much needed help from the charity stripe as they were in last place in the conference in that category coming into the game. K-State shot an incredible 11 of 15 from the free throw line for a percentage of 73 percent. In the second half, K-State had to stick to their game plan, which in the first four minutes they did. A few free throws from Kansas cut the lead to within five, but freshman guard Will Spradling found something the team hasn’t found a lot this season and that’s an opening in the post. His bucket in the post thanks to a goaltending call on Kansas extended the Wildcats’ lead to seven. The Jayhawks’ Marcus Morris also picked up a third foul and would have to sit for a while. Something rare you don’t see a lot either- Kansas’s number one recruit Josh Selby who was a bit questionable coming into the game didn’t score until there were five and a half minutes left in the game. K-State’s motivation led them to a 12-point lead eight minutes into the second half. Kansas head coach Bill Self also had to use a timeout leaving him with one the rest of the game. Kansas was looking desperate for something good to happen for them. The Jayhawks totally abandoned their 3-point shooting game as they were shooting a horrible 2-of -0 from beyond the arc. Kansas also faced another technical foul-electrifying the “Octagon of Doom” crowd as Elijah Johnson was the victim. He threw his hands in the air in disgust. As the game went on I would stare at the game clock every minute. I could not believe what I was seeing from this team, as they had left all their bad moments from this season in the attic to try and pull off a performance such as this one. Pullen would finish the game with a career high 38 points. As he walked over to the bench with a minute left, he gave a broad smile to the student section and freshman gaurd Shane Southwell and sophomore guard Nick Russell were there waiting to congratulate him. As security started to box me into my seat, students were starting to make their way down to the floor. The students of K-State and I were all witness to the biggest college basketball upset in history. Bramlage Coliseum can now be considered a place that is one of the nation’s toughest. First it was No. 1 ranked Texas last year, now Kansas was the victim at No. 1. K-State may have clinched a spot in the NCAA Tournament with this statement win in my mind, and I hope all of you still believe there’s a chance also.

ACT NOW K-State students should make effort to fight racism

Illustration by Yosuke Michishita

Karen Ingram I covered Tim Wise’s antiracism speech and Q&A for the Collegian on Wednesday night, and I was pleased with the turnout. Forum Hall was packed. They had overflow seating outside. I got there 10 minutes early and had trouble finding a seat, something that has never happened to me before while covering an event. I am glad that so many people, regardless of whether they were there because of the lecture or because of extra credit, showed up, because it was a wonderful and eye-opening experience. Wise made me feel comfortable enough to admit something that I have always known but tried

to deny: Despite the fact that I was raised “color blind” by my parents, that my first crush was on a young man who was half Native American and despite the fact that I actively recruited international students to work at the Collegian because I didn’t think our staff had enough diversity — despite all of these things — I am white and, therefore, privileged in this country. In spite of all my best efforts, racism is a part of me. Wise’s lecture also reaffirmed my belief that I don’t want things to be this way. I don’t want to be adulterated by a country that favors one group of people over another, whether we’re doing it on purpose or subconsciously. I want things to change for the better. I want America to truly be a great home for all of us. But how? One of the students at the Q&A pointed out that many of the things Wise said people can do to change were not the sort of things students could do as easily. Wise was asked what we, as students, can do to make a difference?

Conformity through everday fashions? To Conform, or Not to Conform? Every time I pause right before clicking the ‘place order’ button on my laptop, I ask myself, “Am I conforming to everyone around me?” I’m staring at the North Face web page, internally debating over whether or not to purchase the Black Khumbu Women’s Jacket I’ve seen proudly sported on the back of almost every female on campus. Sorority girls, athletes, dancers, cheerleaders and everyone who is anyone has the black jacket. But is that what I want? When that girl with the super blonde hair and unnaturally white teeth gives me the flicking once-over glance to mentally ascertain my social status, do I want her to think, “Yes, she’s like me,” or “Hey, she’s different then all these girls!” Since this is the twelfth time I’ve viewed this page in the last two weeks, I’m leaning for the former. And yet ... I do want to stand out. I do want to be different,

unique, nonconforming compared to all those other girls. And it’s not just the clothes. They seem to flock together: in class, the food court, in the hallways- all the same. Ugg boots, designer jeans, super straight hair, perfect tans ... and, of course, the black jackets. And I can’t help but wonder, what if I was like them? But when these fleeting thoughts come to mind, it doesn’t take much effort to squash them. I know I’m not like them, and I don’t really want to be. And I know deep down that buying a black jacket isn’t going to change who I am, nor does it define me as a person. But it’s still an ongoing struggle-to fit in, to look like everyone else, to conform. I sigh as I resolutely hit the X at the top of the screen and close the web page. No North Face jacket for me. But those Ugg boots... Elaine Eck Sophomore Political Science and International Studies

Gibbs’ resignation as press secretary a relief

Danny Davis Something amazing happened last Friday: Robert Gibbs worked his last day as White House press secretary. He resigned on Jan. 5 when he announced he would become a consultant for Barack Obama’s re-election campaign, said Jason Horowitz in a Jan. 5 Washington Post blog post. Usually it would be of little significance for a press secretary to resign and be replaced, but for Gibbs, the situation is different. See, Gibbs was perhaps the most incoherent and uninspiring joke of a press secretary of recent administrations. Take for instance the time when Gibbs mocked Sarah Palin as detailed by Karen Travers in a Feb. 9, 2010, blog post for ABC News. In a very tactless display of idiocy, Gibbs read off his grocery list from his palm during a press conference. Need I say more? Situations like that painted the Obama administration as a farce and helped make the White House and America a laughingstock. As press secretary for the leadership of the greatest country in the world, a person must have at least a bit of decency to him. By speaking for the White House, he represents not just the administration, but United States as a whole. Foreign leaders and people in other countries watch

these conferences and read the transcripts, as if it weren’t enough that America had to endure Gibbs’ tactless presentations. Gibbs often cut reporters off mid-sentence, thereby drawing out what would have been a 30-second question into several minutes of back-and-forth banter. As I was watching some of Gibbs’

“finer” moments on YouTube, I came across one starring April Ryan, correspondent for American Urban Radio Networks. During the exchange, Gibbs interrupts Ryan’s question. This happens a couple of times. Then, Gibbs does not even answer the question. The question was a simple one, even if it was an unnecessary one.

Ryan simply wanted to know if a particular person was a guest at the White House state dinner in December 2009. Instead of directly answering the question with a ‘yes’ or ‘no’, Gibbs said everything but the answer. To further showcase his stupidity, Gibbs said that Ryan was acting like his 7-year-old son. In a Dec. 7, 2010 editorial at The Huffington Post, Byran Monroe called Gibbs’ reaction to Ryan’s question “smartalecky, condescending and inappropriate.” And let’s not forget when Helen Thomas, correspondent for Hearst News Service, and Chip Reid, correspondent for CBS News, questioned Gibbs on one of Obama’s healthcare town hall meetings in July 2009. After Reid asked his question, Gibbs told Reid to ask his question the next day. Then Thomas joined in with Reid by questioning the openness of Obama’s town hall format. Thomas was also told by Gibbs to ask the question the next day. Perhaps that’s the word that best describes Gibbs’ career as press secretary. Inappropriate. Gibbs seemed to not take his job as seriously as one should when working for the White House as evidenced by his tactless antics and carefree attitude toward the press. Therefore, it is fitting that Gibbs should leave and make way for a new, more respectable representative of the White House. It deserved a better representative than Gibbs.
