Lunar New Year celebration spotlights Vietnamese culture, traditions

GABRIELA FARAONE THE COLLEGIAN

The Vietnamese Student Association and the Union Program Council co-sponsored a Lunar New Year celebration, which included traditional dance performances, colorful costumes and live music that filled every corner of the Union Courtyard on Saturday. The preparation for this event began over a year ago, said Kelly Pham, president of the VSA and junior in biology. “We started planning this day already on September 2018,” Pham said. “We had a lot of help and other students were very supportive to make this event possible.” The main purpose of the event was to promote the diverse student body of Kansas State and share Vietnamese culture. “Like every year, we try to bring a big event to share with people an important Vietnamese holiday, as is the Lunar New Year,” said Thu Annelise Nguyen, student adviser for the VSA and associate professor of toxicology. As people arrived to watch the show, red envelopes were handed out to bring luck to all participants and spectators. Vietnamese tradition says celebrating the Lunar New Year expels bad luck and brings fortune to families

and friends. A reading of the history of the 12 zodiac signs opened the event, and the show began. “This is my first time in an event like this one, and it’s very beautiful,” Ana Guanes, freshman in mechanical engineering, said. Attendees wrote their wishes on yellow pieces of paper and then hung them on a small Tet tree. Several attendees said they were glad to come to the Lunar New Year celebration. “We saw a couple of weeks ago a flyer of the event, and it caught our attention,” Greice Dos Santos, freshman in agronomy, said. “It was worth it to come and participate.” Sarah Green, senior in geology, shared similar sentiments and said the Lunar New Year is something she looks forward to. “We are very familiar with this event, and every year we try to participate,” Green said. “My sister and I are really happy to come to the Lunar New Year.” Gabriela Faraone COLLEGIAN MEDIA GROUP

Minute in My Shoes: Meet the student who wears a cape to class

Both Manhattan Locations Natalie Leonard | COLLEGIAN MEDIA GROUP

David Beckley, senior in industrial engineering, occasionally wears a cape to school. While it might make him stand out, he says he hopes he can at least make people laugh.

NATALIE LEONARD THE COLLEGIAN

A man with wavy brown hair and a warm, bright smile struts into the Kansas State Student Union. To the average passerby, he is just another college kid bustling off to study, until — wait, what’s that? Scarlet, satin fabric emerges from behind him, billowing in the breeze as the Union doors continue to swing open and close with a steady hustle of students and staff. Fastened securely around his neck is his trademark: a red cape. Who is this student? His name is David Beckley, senior in industrial engineering. But here’s how he describes himself. “I like wearing the cape because I like to stand out,” Beckley said. “I find that if I’m having a bad day, I just put on the cape and somehow it makes me feel better — one would even say super, if you’re being corny. But it also brings smiles to other people, or so I’ve been told.” Beckley said confidence is not an issue for him, even in the

red cape. “I know who I am — I’ve known for a long time, and I’m super confident in who I am,” Beckley said. “I have Asperger’s and ADHD, as well as LAMS — Look At Me Syndrome. I mean, I’m wearing a cape. I do not have a problem standing out.” When asked why he chose to attend K-State, Beckley said proximity to his family and staying in Kansas were very important to him. When choosing between K-State and the University of Kansas, he said the deciding factor came down to K-State having better “climbing trees.” Beckley said he wears his cape to live his life every day with one purpose in mind: making people happy as much as he can. He spends no time dwelling on the bullying he experienced in his childhood; he is far more interested in what he had learned from the experience. “The best way to stop bullies is to own who you are,” Beckley said. “If you wear what makes you special as armor, no one can use it against you. You can’t let other people define you; you have to define yourself.”

Beckley has been the president of Delta Alpha Pi, an honor society for students with disabilities, for the past three years. He said he wants to be an advocate for students with disabilities, both physical and mental, and he is actively working to give this organization a larger presence on campus. Beckley delivered a speech at a diversity summit on campus a few years ago, and he spoke about the importance of embracing yourself. Beckley said he didn’t talk about the “culture of disability” because it is vast and he doesn’t like labeling things as disabilities. The way Beckley lives his life frees him from pressure, he said. He does not allow the spark that makes him stand out to be extinguished by “cookie-cutter” social norms. Instead, he welcomes his whims and uses them to define himself. Beckley may not be able to fly like Superman or drive around in the Batmobile, but with his bright red cape, he does have the power to make people smile.

Tennis beats North Texas, Arizona teams EMILY BRADY

THE COLLEGIAN

The Kansas State tennis team had a long weekend, but it was worth it for the Wildcats as they beat North Texas and Arizona to improve their season record to 5-2 overall.

UNIVERSITY OF NORTH TEXAS

The tennis team came up with an incredible comeback win over North Texas, beating them 4-3 at the Waranch Tennis Complex in Denton, Texas. The incredible four singles victories by freshmen Ioana Gheorghita and Maria Ponomareva were what tipped the Wildcats over the edge. “I’m really proud of the effort and fight by the team today,” head coach Jordan Smith said to K-State Sports. “This was a tough road win for us to pull out. North Texas played well today in both doubles and singles; they made us fight for everything.” K-State was behind North Texas 3-2 with two singles matches left to be played. Ponomareva stepped up and grabbed a victory against Mingying Liang, 6-2, 7-6 (5), to bring the score to an even 3-3. The fate of the match rested on the shoulders of Gheorghita and her final singles match against Ivana Babic. The opening set went in the way of Gheorghita, 6-3, but Babic responded strongly in the second set, 6-3. In the third and final set, Gheorghita came out victorious, giving the Wildcats a strong and much needed victory, 6-4.

“A lot of credit goes to their teammates for the incredible support down the stretch,” Smith said. “I’m glad we were able to pull that one out, and we will be ready for Arizona.”

UNIVERSITY OF ARIZONA

After defeating North Texas on Friday, the Wildcats took on Arizona last Saturday at the SMU Tennis Complex, winning with a dominant 4-0. In the first doubles match of the day, sophomores Anna Turco and Margot Decker beat Emma Wilson and Gittie Heynenmans 6-2. Their win was followed by freshman Karine-Marion Job and junior Ines Mesquita winning 6-5 over Talya Zandberg and Camila Wesbrooks. The last doubles match went unfinished, leaving the freshman Wildcat pair of Ponomareva and Gheorghita ahead 5-4. Job won her singles match 6-2 in the No. 5 spot, and Turco claimed the win in the No. 4 spot as well. “We did a great job of getting recovered physically and mentally for this match,” Smith said to K-State Sports. “Great overall team performance today and on the weekend.” Ponomareva, Mesquita and Linares were unable to finish their singles matches, leaving K-State’s record 5-2 for the season. With another strong win to add to a strong season, the Wildcats are ready to continue competing at home against SMU on Thursday at noon.

Women’s basketball sweeps season series against No. 15 Texas in Sunday victory

@kstate collegian

Olivia Bergmeier | COLLEGIAN MEDIA GROUP

Head coach Jeff Mittie calls the women’s basketball team around to talk about strategy before the next play at the Jan. 30 game versus TCU. The K-State women’s basketball team faced off against the Texas Longhorns on Sunday, resulting in a 69-60 win for the Wildcats.

AVERY OSEN

THE COLLEGIAN

After a devastating loss at home last week, the Kansas State women’s basketball team bounced back to defeat the No. 15 Texas Longhorns 69-60 on Sunday afternoon in Austin, Texas. With the upset win, K-State swept the Longhorns this season after beating them inside Bramlage Coliseum earlier this year. The Wildcats’ record is now 16-10 overall this season

and 7-7 in Big 12 Conference play, while the Longhorns are 20-6 overall and 10-4 in conference play. K-State was led in scoring by senior guard Kayla Goth, who had 15 points. Junior forward Peyton Williams contributed 13 points, while sophomore guard Rachel Ranke and junior guard Jasauen Beard each had 11 points. Williams also was very big for the Wildcats on the rebounding side as she had 14 rebounds, giving her a double-double in the game. K-State once again shot

three-pointers well after hitting 14 last weekend against Oklahoma. The Wildcats hit 10 threes in Sunday’s game to contribute to their nine-point victory. With Texas up 5-4 in the first quarter, the Longhorns went on a 7-0 run to that turned into an early 12-4 lead over the Wildcats. Texas continued to keep its distance and led 13-7 at the end of the first quarter. Fortunately for Wildcat fans, K-State came out ready to go in the second 10 minutes of the half as they outscored

Texas 20-13 and lead by one at halftime, 27-26. In the second half, Texas got up by 14 points at 42-28, but the Wildcats came back and went on a 17-4 run to end the third quarter. The Wildcats separated themselves in the fourth quarter and made some clutch free throws in the final minutes to take down Texas and win the season series 69-60. K-State will look to keep its momentum going when the team travels to Fort Worth, Texas, to battle TCU at 5 p.m. Saturday.

THE COLLEGIAN

For those of us who weren’t quite satisfied by our education, the “Stuff You Missed in History Class” podcast, hosted by Tracy Wilson and Holly Frey, dives into subjects not found in standard high school history textbooks. Though it may take a few minutes to be drawn into an episode, it’s definitely worth a listen if the historical subject is of genuine interest to you. It’s immediately apparent that the hosts of this podcast have done their homework. They provide an excellent summary of background information and context for each episode’s historical subject. The podcast’s archives stretch back over 10 years to June 2008, so there is plenty of content for new listeners to choose from. Those hungry for history can also look forward to new episodes, which are released frequently. One of the most recent episodes about Paul Julius Reuters caught my attention in particular. Reuters’ lucrative news service, which he started at the age of 34 in 1851, still exists as the Reuter News Agency today. The episode

covers the development of his company, how it adapted with technology and its historical significance. Hosts Wilson and Frey keep listeners entertained by pointing out humor in the stories they tell. Witty, offhanded comments help achieve their informal, yet informative style. When they discuss the types of business relationships Reuters worked within, they joke about his monopolizing business, which would not be allowed today. The hosts frequently contrast societies of the past to society today, filling in the gaps that come with time and change. The details may ordinarily seem trivial, but this podcast makes them fun and often puts them in a global context. “Stuff You Missed in History Class” casts a wider net than most of my history teachers ever did since it is not confined by curriculum or doing the bare minimum to meet learning standards. Other recent episodes have been released covering NASA engineer Mary Winston Jackson, painter Teresa Carreño and engineer Gustave Eiffel, architect of the Eiffel Tower. The length of each episode varies, but most are around 30 to

40 minutes. During that time, the tone is conversational but information-heavy, so listeners need to pay attention when they press “play.” With that, it is not uncommon for podcasts to post extra links about their subjects online, and it is especially helpful that “Stuff You Missed in History Class” provides these extra resources for listeners who want to learn more. Without a doubt, my favorite part of “Stuff You Missed in History Class” is that it reminded me of a history teacher I had in middle school. I learned so much from him because he stretched what history topics were supposed to be taught by including a section on “this day in history” every day. I think this would be just his cup of tea. But with such a wide selection of episodes to choose from, any student can surely find a topic of interest from this podcast’s repertoire and give it a try.

@kstatecollegian

Diversity is alternately praised as the earmark of an inclusive society, criticized for elevating irrelevant identifiers and met with confusion regarding its meaning. In the university context, debates on affirmative action, campus orthodoxies, curriculum and so on are never-ending. Diversity’s critics and advocates are more keen on gaining ground in the culture war, which invites the question of whether diversity can survive.

THE DIVERSITY RATIONALE

I think diversity can be saved. Overwhelming empirical evidence has shown that racial, ethnic and cultural diversity benefit universities greatly by following what is broadly considered “the diversity rationale.” In Regents of the University of California v. Bakke, former U.S. Supreme Court justice Lewis Powell argued that a diverse student body invites more viewpoints and encourages the university to become a place “conducive to speculation, experiment and creation — so essential to the quality of higher education.” Does this view survive scrutiny? Based on a massive review of the literature, UCLA professor Mitchell Chang concludes: “It is nearly impossible to find a published study grounded in the field of higher education research that rejects Justice Powell’s diversity rationale. Opponents of affirmative action attribute this research anomaly to liberal political leanings. Such charges are misguided because those critics do not have a deep understanding of

the literature or fundamentals that guide research in higher education.” Though Powell’s argument has traction in the scholarly community, it it is not considered a complete defense of diversity. Powell’s rationale seems to imply that merely increasing the number of minorities reaps benefits, which isn’t necessarily true. People can, for example, self-segregate on campus and even find themselves in severe conflicts with those of different cultures. The view that Chang and others endorse is the “ecological perspective,” which argues that diversity is beneficial not for a singular causal factor but from an array of complex and dynamic social and institutional contexts. In simpler terms, people benefit from diversity when they meaningfully interact with peers from different backgrounds and when the university encourages such experiences. These experiences range from simple day-to-day interactions to diversity workshops, with the latter producing the most benefits. Here is just some of the evidence in favor of this perspective. 1. Education scholar Eric Dey’s 1996 and 1997 studies demonstrated that peer interactions and institutional practices affect the perspectives of students. 2. Psychologists Thomas F. Pettigrew and Linda R. Tropp identified over 500 studies showing that “cross-racial interaction significantly reduces prejudice across a wide variety of samples and situations.”

see page 7, “DIVERSITY”

monday, february 18, 2019

DIVERSITY continued from page

3. Chang lists around 50 studies from 1993 to 2011 which show a general consistency among scholars that cross-racial interaction positively affects student academic skills, academic and social self-concept, personal growth/development, teamwork and leadership skills, prejudice reduction, social distance, perceived exposure to diverse ideas, social agency and civic development, retention, well-being and satisfaction with college. 4. Another study concludes that students actively involved in diverse environments had better cognitive outcomes around critical thinking and problem-solving. 5. A study published in the Harvard Educational Review also found that racially diverse

social environments made students more capable of seeing the world from another person’s perspective, more open to having their views challenged, tolerant of others and improved their ability to discuss controversial issues.

WHY IT MATTERS

The data doesn’t really support the mainstream left or right positions on diversity. Those on the right, for example, defend the importance of free speech and intellectual discourse on college campuses (although there are plenty of liberals who would say the same). They argue that we must be mature enough to have our ideas questioned, to provide reasons and arguments for our beliefs and to open our minds to different, often challenging viewpoints. The right goes wrong, however, when it argues that

STAY UP-TODATE @KSTATECOLLEGIAN

race is irrelevant. Even America’s leading conservative thinker, Robert P. George of Princeton University, realized from his friendship with Cornel West that being “colorblind” is naive. He realized that race, ethnicity and culture really do affect how people see and experience the world, and under the right conditions, diversity increases a university’s pool of knowledge and its ability to articulate ideas across groups. One common rebuttal is that it is wrong, perhaps racist, to think people and ideas can be associated with one another. There are a few responses to this argument. The first is that for a great many people, the social constructs of race and culture have affected their experiences, how they have been treat-

ed and how they perceive the world. The second is that there are also many people who find those concepts ultimately irrelevant in their experience and defy them. Having both of these persons on campus can increase the university’s pool of knowledge. It can simultaneously show that social constructs around identity affect people, and persons who are perceived as occupying that identity group have great variability and individuality. Some conservatives have argued, for example, that minorities who are Republican and conservative break the diversity rationale. It may break the more radical liberal narrative that seems to suggest all minorities are (or should be) liberals. But diversity, as I have

articulated, rejects both that flawed narrative and the popular conservative objection. It says that socially constructed identities affect people in different ways (perhaps not at all), and our pursuit of truth should recognize the implications of that complex reality. Indeed, the left starts from the valid premise of supporting diversity, but they hamper its benefits by turning the university into an echo chamber. If students cannot practice tolerance, opening their minds to different opinions and using their reasoning faculties towards truth, then the left contradicts its own values. Respecting academic freedom and the diversity of thought allows for the free movement of knowledge across backgrounds and perspectives.

This requires we open dominant narratives for criticism and invite other serious viewpoints to the table. Supporting identity diversity without recognizing these goods is an incomplete endeavor. Therefore, if you support identity diversity, you should support the diversity of thought. If you support the diversity of thought, you should support identity diversity.
