McDermott, Abounabhan ‘pushed back’ during primaries with no SGA past KAITLYN ALANIS THE COLLEGIAN
Push back. That is what Sarah McDermott, senior in entrepreneurship, said she had to do to earn her 638 votes in the Kansas State Student Governing Association’s student body president primary elections. McDermott ran for student body president alongside Mary Abounabhan, junior in management. The pair received 19.51 percent of the vote, falling behind Jack Ayres, junior in chemical engineering, and Matt Mindrup, sophomore in biology. Both Ayres and Mindrup moved on to the general elections with their vice president candidates, which will be held March 7-8. ”I was overwhelmed,” McDermott said. “Six hundred and thirty eight people saw the vision that we have and thought, ‘yeah, that’s a good one.’ It would have been a different race had there been one more week.”
Abounabhan said seeing how much they accomplished in less than two weeks was encouraging. “We had a week and a half to do all this,” Abounabhan said. “The other two candidates had been preparing for so long, since September, so in perspective, we accomplished quite a bit.” After seeing the vote counts, Abounabhan said it was clear that at least part of the K-State student body wanted to see what a fresh perspective could do for them. “A lot of people were backing us because they wanted that fresh perspective, so it was encouraging, but also, depending on who you talk to, kind of intimidating,” Abounabhan said. Intimidating, Abounabhan said, because some of the people they talked to discouraged them from staying in the race. As the only duo that did not have prior experience in SGA, McDermott and Abounabhan said it made for a much more challenging campaign period. “People definitely doubted
a roundabout way tried to discourage us from running, but we had to give some pushback there.”
PUSHING FOR AUTHENTICITY

mott said. “Some people see that as a bad thing, but for us it was an extra push.” McDermott said while it was not easy, she and Abounabhan had to push back to stand their ground in the campaign. “You have to push back,” McDermott said. “If you feel discouraged from doing something or overwhelmed, you have to push back. There were even people who met with us and in
The pair said outside of “pushing back,” they believe authenticity and genuine personalities got them as far as they did. They said they hope students saw that through their campaign, whether that was through their posters in different languages or their willingness to reach out to different groups who feel underrepresented. ”While there’s no demographics of who voted for us, I think it’s pretty safe to say it was a lot of ethnic multicultural students and minorities,” McDermott said. “In real-world politics, they get used enough and so that’s not what we are here to promote.” As previously reported by the Collegian, Ayres also said he believes McDermott brought in new voters. “I think the number of
votes that they brought in represent a lot of students who may not have voted in previous years, and I think that’s a testament to what they did,” Ayres said. Overall, the duo said that based on the feedback they have received from voters, they feel K-State students appreciated their authenticity. “The feedback we got was from people appreciating how real we were being,” McDermott said. “We tried not to come out as rehearsed, and we’re not afraid to say we don’t know, but that’s not to say we’re not going to find out.”
PUSHING WITHOUT A TITLE
While McDermott and Abounabhan will not be moving on to the general elections, they said they will still be pushing for empowerment, diversity and transparency at K-State.

K-State spring student enrollment drops for fourth straight year KAITLYN ALANIS
Graphic by Audrey Hockersmith
THE COLLEGIAN
For the fourth year in a row, Kansas State had a decrease in students enrolled in the spring semester compared to the spring before. According to K-State’s 20thday enrollment statistics from the Office of the Registrar’s website, 22,048 students are enrolled at the university, which is a decrease of 587 students from the 22,635 students who were enrolled in spring 2016. This includes the Manhattan, Polytechnic, Olathe and Global campuses. K-State has faced state higher education budget cuts and internal callbacks, in part due to the decline in enrollment numbers. At least one college — Engineering — increased student fees as a direct response to the budget cuts and internal callbacks. At the Feb. 7 Tuition and
Fees Strategies Committee meeting, Pat Bosco, vice president of student life and dean of students, said K-State has had relatively low spring enrollment numbers and is suffering due to budget cuts. “Open record: we’re at that (financial breaking) point,” Bosco said at the meeting. “We’re hurting with spring enrollments.” K-State budgeted for $240 million in tuition revenue for fiscal year 2017, which is more than
half of the university’s general use allocations. It would be more than the $230 million collected in tuition in fiscal year 2016.
BY THE NUMBERS
Eighty two new freshmen enrolled at the Manhattan campus this spring, down from the 99 new freshmen of spring 2016. There were 297 new transfer students in the spring 2017 enrollment, a decrease from 333 in spring 2016. The following colleges saw a

Hands-on student research the main focus of K-State’s beef cattle unit my and biological and agricultural engineering. “We have a very significant percentage of students who don’t come from agriculture backgrounds,” said Jim Drouillard, research professor in ruminant nutrition. “Many of the students come from urban and suburban backgrounds, so the facility provides value in the aspect of gaining experience in livestock handling.”
SAMANTHA ALBERS THE COLLEGIAN
At Kansas State’s Beef Cattle Research Center, students experience hands-on learning and gain knowledge from the research of operation systems, which are used to manage beef cattle that the unit does not own. Producers who have commercial feedlots will consign their cattle, specifically feedlot heifers — which are market livestock that are fed until they have reached market weight and are ready to be harvested — and steers — which are bulls that have been castrated — to the center specifically for research. As it is a facility that is restricted only to research and is in the business of promoting change, the center has several routines that tend to change frequently to match the needs of the current projects and studies. The routines that do stay the same are centered around dai-

These tasks are completed by graduate student researchers and about 15 undergraduate parttime employees who come from a variety of different departments, such as agricultural economics and agribusiness, biology, agrono-
Some of the current research projects include a trace mineral nutrition study, researching a decreasing alliance of antibiotics and the feedlot production system, a research method for grain processing strategies and the development of a type of probiotics for cattle. Even though each graduate student has a different area of specialization within the beef industry, they still have opportunities to learn about other students’ projects by helping one another
out with different tasks at the research unit. “We are very team-oriented at the BCRC, so each graduate student helps the others with their research so everyone can experience different types of research,” said Savannah Katulski, graduate student in animal science, who is also studying ruminant nutrition. Ruminant nutrition is the study of ruminants, which convert the energy from the cereal grains that humans cannot eat and turn it into protein through fermentation in a specialized part of the stomach. Katulski’s research interests emphasize trace mineral nutrition in beef cattle. She said most of her research involves more forage-based production systems, but she has also completed work with feedlot cattle. “We really pride ourselves on being meticulous and delivering the best data that we can,” Katulski said. “I have learned not only how to be a good scientist, but also how to manage the day
to day tasks at the BCRC. I really believe that this program gives masters students a well-rounded experience.” After a research project is complete, the cattle are then fed until they reach market weight and are then taken to be harvested. A majority of the cattle are taken to a processing facility near Garden City, Kansas. Tara Ellerman, graduate student studying ruminant nutrition, said the research opportunities at the Beef Cattle Research Center have opened up many doors for her. “As long as I can remember, I have loved cattle and the people of the beef industry,” Ellermain said. “The show ring was a big part of my upbringing, and the impact of proper nutrition on the performance of my show calves has always amazed me. After I made the decision to work for Dr. Jim Drouillard, another door opened that allowed me to step into a lab setting to focus my research in rumen microbiology.”
Parks and Rec committee plans $20 million worth of new indoor facilities JILL SEILER
THE COLLEGIAN
Three facilities with indoor running or walking tracks and indoor basketball courts could be coming to Manhattan. After a 2014 survey conducted by the Parks and Recreation Steering Committee, four priorities of the community were found: additional indoor recreation facilities, improved playability of existing fields, improved availability and connection of trails and an indoor aquatics facility. Bruce Snead, chair of the committee, emphasized the importance of the quality of life in a community during an open meeting with K-State journalism students on Feb. 14. “Communities are where we have our quality of life,” Snead said. “The community provides the infrastructure and the support and the services that enable us to have work and play, and
schools and arts and many other things.” Snead said that after the survey, the committee decided to focus on the first three priorities and that the indoor aquatics facility had dropped off the radar because of the high costs associated with it. The steering committee is moving ahead with plans to propose three indoor neighborhood recreation facilities and improvements to CiCo Park fields. The new facilities would be at Douglass Park, called the South East Neighborhood Recreation Center and at Anthony and Eisenhower middle schools. All three facilities will have indoor basketball courts and running tracks and will be open to the community for multiple uses. “If you’re not K-State affiliated, you don’t get access to Ahearn,” Snead said. “You don’t get access to the Rec Center, so we found that to be a significant issue.” Wyatt Thompson, senior
park planner for Manhattan, said the indoor recreation facilities would be a benefit to the community. “There is a need to offer space for planned activities to happen, as well as practice, and a lot of community benefit as far as health and wellness and quality of life,” Thompson said.
ESTIMATED COSTS, TIMELINE
The final results of the survey and potential options for these improvements will be presented to the City Commission at a work session in April. The commission will make a decision on whether or not they want to present it the community for a vote and what options they would present. “There’s a great need for year-round facilities where people can get out of their house and be active,” Thompson said. According to the Parks and Recreation Facility Feasibility
Study, the estimated cost of construction of the indoor recreation facilities is $23.7-28.1 million. Improvements to CiCo Park, which include artificial turf for improved drainage of the baseball and softball fields and new tennis courts, is estimated at $8.5 million, according to the City of Manhattan Parks and Recreation website. The steering committee’s proposed plan to pay for these improvements is extending a quarter-cent sales tax set to expire this year for 10 additional years, Snead said. “Extending for 10 more years allows us to implement this strategic facilities plan incrementally over time,” Snead said. The sales tax paid for the Sunset Zoo Education Center, the three city pools and the Flint Hills Discovery Center in about seven and a half years and the extension would raise approximately $25 million, Snead said. “While you never want to
hear that you’re going to be paying additional taxes for something, I think the benefit of this would outweigh the costs associated,” said Maria Leiker, a Manhattan resident. “I think some-
thing like this would benefit a lot of people.”

Wildcats look to upset No. 16 Sooners at home SHELTON BURCH THE COLLEGIAN
Fresh off a comeback win against TCU, the Kansas State women’s basketball team will take on the No. 16 Oklahoma Sooners at 7 p.m. Tuesday in Bramlage Coliseum. It will be the second time the Wildcats face the Sooners this season. They lost the previous meeting in overtime 85-80 in Norman, Oklahoma on Jan. 4. Five Wildcats scored in
double figures in that game, led by junior guard Karyla Middlebrook’s 27. Oklahoma narrowly stymied a Wildcat comeback attempt, outscoring the Wildcats 18-13 in overtime after getting outscored 23-13 in the fourth quarter by the Wildcats. Senior guard Kindred Wesemann is on fire for the Wildcats, leading the team in scoring in the last four games, and in five of the last six. Senior center Breanna Lewis has also been a force offensively. One of the two has led the team in scoring in 21 of their 27 games
this season. The Sooners are led by redshirt senior guard Peyton Little, who averages 13 points per game. She also leads the Sooners in average minutes per game and has started all 27 games for the Sooners this season. Tonight’s game starts what will be a grueling seven days for the Wildcats. After tonight’s game against the Sooners, they will travel to Lawrence to take on the Jayhawks on Saturday. Just two days later, they’ll end the regular season with a game
against No. 6 Texas. Then it will be on to the Phillips 66 Big 12 Championship. The Wildcats have clinched a first round bye and will play March 4, opponent and time still to be determined. File Photo by Alanud Alanazi THE COLLEGIAN

What to watch: Several top 25 matchups as seasons wrap up RYAN PORTER
THE COLLEGIAN
NO. 7 LOUISVILLE AT NO. 8 NORTH CAROLINA
Two top 10 teams go headto-head as Louisville and North Carolina fight for the top spot in the ACC Conference. Louisville has won six of their last seven games as they head to Chapel Hill to take on the Tar Heels. Louisville has lost five games this season, four of which have been to ACC opponents. Despite these troubles, the Cardinals have three players averaging double-digit points as they look to take the top spot within the ACC. North Carolina is a force to be reckoned with, especially when playing in Chapel Hill. They have only lost one game at home this season. The Tar Heels have dominated on the boards, averaging 44 rebounds
per game, which leads the NCAA. North Carolina will look to gain momentum against Louisville because they will have their hands full the last three games of the season, playing two ranked teams within the ACC, No. 18 Virginia and No. 10 Duke. To watch the game tune in at 8 p.m. Wednesday on ESPN.
Florida will need their defense to be firing on all cylinders with Kentucky averaging over 88 points per game. Nobody seems to have a solution to slow down freshman guard Malik Monk, who has shined all season long for the Wildcats, averaging 21.4 points per game. Tipoff is set for 1 p.m. on Saturday. The game can be seen on CBS.
NO. 13 FLORIDA AT NO. 11 KENTUCKY
NEW ORLEANS PELICANS AT OKLAHOMA CITY THUNDER
These two are set for an SEC showdown that will determine who will take the top spot within the conference. Florida thrashed Kentucky earlier this season 88-66. The Gators hit a rough patch midway through the season; however, they have found their groove as they look to keep their eight-game winning streak alive. Florida has relied heavily on their back court; both guards average over 13 points per game.
The biggest news around the NBA is the Pelicans acquiring arguably the best big man in the league, DeMarcus Cousins. He will now team up with Anthony Davis, and suddenly New Orleans could have the best front court in the NBA. Despite the amount of time it will take the two All-Stars to find chemistry, the Pelicans are in good shape to try and make a late run to make the playoffs

being only two games out. It is a no-brainer that Russell Westbrook, who is averaging a triple-double, will get going. The biggest key for
the Thunder will be their seven-foot center, Steven Adams, who will need to play well to slow down the newly formed dynamic duo from New Orle-
ans. Oklahoma City struggled before the All-Star break, losing three of their last five games. Catch the action at 6 p.m. on Sunday.

Letter to the editor: Using fear of terrorism for political gains The politics of unreasonable fear is nothing new in the United States. During the 20th Century the great bogeyman was the communist subversive. The most notable instances of mass hysteria in the previous century were the so called “Red Scares,” the first occurring in the late 1910s and early 1920s in the wake of Russia’s Bolshevik revolution, and the second in the early and mid1950s, during the McCarthy era. Journalists and politicians took advantage of the heightened paranoia during these times, as they did generally throughout much of the century, to sell newspapers, gain votes or in other ways profit from the fear among their fellow citizens that society as they knew it was in grave danger.
They could occasionally point to legitimate instances of espionage or subversion, such as the case of Alger Hiss or Julius and Ethel Rosenberg, to convince Americans that there were perhaps hundreds of thousands of communists, socialists and otherwise insidious leftist subversives scattered throughout the country, including within the American government, academia and particularly organized labor, all of whom were seeking to undermine and if possible destroy our way of life. Modern critics may look back sardonically and scoff at previous generations’ penchant to for seeing “commies in their soup,” knowing in retrospect that the number of truly dan-
gerous subversives in this country was never significant and the republic was never in serious danger. Today’s great bogeyman is not a communist subversive but a terrorist, particularly a “radical Islamic terrorist.”
