Heifer heyday: Buhler holds third, largest-ever Kansas Cattle Drive OLIVIA BERGMEIER THE COLLEGIAN

Farmers and ranchers went to Buhler, Kansas, from far and wide Saturday with hopes to see what the agricultural community has to offer at the third annual Kansas Cattle Drive. The cattle drive showcased in-state and out-of-state farmers and ranchers. Darren Busick works for the Reno County extension of Kansas State’s Cattlemen’s Association and began the drive three years ago, starting small. The Kansas Cattle Drive

started with only 17 cattle pens and six volunteers. This year, capping at 30 pens and 120 volunteers, Busick is still looking to grow the event. “It’s taken a legs of its own right now,” Busick said. “We’ll just see what direction it goes, but I’m hoping to try new things.” Though the Kansas Cattle Drive currently has pens from only Kansas farms and ranches, seven states were represented at the drive and are hoping to bring their pens in the future. Jeff Smith, the owner of S&S Farms, came with his choice of bulls to represent his family farm. Smith said he has attended the

cattle drive since its debut three years ago. Smith said the Kansas Cattle Drive allows for the chance to show how much his family farm has grown and how much it can continue to grow in the future. He also said the event gives his farm “visibility” that would otherwise be unavailable to his fifth-generation farm. Dustin Crittenden, a 2009 K-State graduate, works for Arrowquip, selling and distributing equipment made for cattle production. Crittenden said the cattle drive has “like-minded people” and is an “innovative” way to get involved with other “progressive producers.” Crittenden said he plans to attend next year’s cattle drive to spread the word about Arrowquip and to teach others about the equipment it provides. Kyle Baker, another distributor of Arrowquip equipment, attended the drive to take advantage of a unique opportunity to show off how the company’s cattle chutes work. “We were able to run live cattle through it, and so that’s just a real bonus to us,” Baker said. Both distributors stated they hope to see the Kansas Cattle Drive grow to allow for even more farmers and ranchers to show off what they have to offer on the agricultural scene.

The Privilege Fee Committee met at Lafene Health Center to begin considering allocations for the next three years. Following a tour of the facility led by Jim Parker, director of Lafene, the committee gathered in a conference room to hear the requests of Lafene. In the next three years, Lafene requests an annual three percent increase in funding. Currently, Lafene Health Center, which is classified as Student Health Services, receives about 32.9 percent of the $15 million PFC budget. Parker said since the founding of Student Health Services in 1913, the entity has evolved "from time to time", but some elements have not changed, such as the "healthy" relationship between Lafene and the student body. "Historically, the philosophy of the students has been to share the cost of health care for ill or injured students," Parker said. "This allows students who otherwise couldn't

afford to get health care who are sick or injured actually come to Lafene and get help. We are very proud that we can offer that. This keeps the price low across the board, so it's a shared cost." According to "aggregate data" compiled about Lafene from fiscal year 2017, the average age of a patient is 23.58 years old. Furthermore, Student Health Services saw more than 11,000 "distinct patients" in that time, which is over 56 percent of the student population at Kansas State. Based on projections provided by Lafene, a three percent increase would allow for the reformatting of the pharmacy, the implementation of Citra — an after-hours nurse line — as well as other "improvements" that would meet the feedback provided by students. An increase would also allow Lafene to operate at its current level, whereas a stay on the allocation would likely require the offices to pull back operating hours to 40 hours a week as well as closing all operations on Saturdays. Lafene also reports that privilege fee allocations add up to about 70 percent of the total operating budget of Student Health Services. Parker said privilege fees are essentially the "anchor for the health center". The committee reconvenes on Feb. 26 at 5:30 p.m. in the Student Governing Association conference room in the Center for Student Involvement to continue discussion about Student Health Services and for further debate on Counseling Services.

Fake Patty's and transparency lead at county Law Board meeting MEG SHEARER

THE COLLEGIAN

The Riley County Police Department shared details of plans for this year’s Fake Patty’s Day during the Riley County Law Board meeting Tuesday. Capt. Richard Fink said the RCPD has been working in conjunction with the Aggieville Business Association and Kansas State to move people out of house parties and into Aggieville so law enforcement can monitor the use of alcohol more closely. Personnel will also be dedicated to four neighborhoods bordering the bar district to prevent people from bringing open containers into public spaces.

“It’s not a day that you can walk around with alcohol; nothing changes,” Capt. Tim Hegarty said. “Students are often surprised walking down the street with their alcohol that they can’t do that because it’s a special day.” Fink said 68 officers will be on duty March 10 to oversee what Aggieville’s website calls “a day full of fun, friends and fond memories.” The Emporia, Kansas State and Lawrence police departments and the Lyon County and Pottawatomie County sheriff departments will provide support in the form of extra officers. The RCPD will have a processing center and command post set up in City Park. EMS will have personnel and a first aid station nearby as

An Olathe mother is in jail after the attempted murder of her three children on Feb. 19. Olathe police report that the children had consumed a compound meant to cause harm, which administered by their mother, Therese Roever. Roever is in a long-standing custody battle with her ex-husband. According to the Kansas City Star, Roever also ingested the compound. All four individuals were brought to hospitals in serious condition. Upon her release, Roever was transferred to the Johnson County Jail. There have been no new developments in the case. Florida students plan to walk out on classes March 14 in protest of gun violence at 10 a.m. for 17 minutes. The Wichita Eagle reports that the EMPOWER branch of the Women’s March is asking students to participate in “#ENOUGH.” The walkout will serve as a moment of remembrance for the victims of the Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School shooting

from earlier this month, as well as a means of asking legislators to create federally enforced gun reform legislation. Robert Mueller’s special counsel raises charges against a lawyer for lying to investigators about his connection to Rick Gates, a campaign aide for Donald Trump during his 2016 presidential bid. According to CNN, Alex van der Zwaan is slated to plead guilty to the charges. Van der Zwaan faces additional charges for allegedly lying about email communications. Syrian government airstrikes in rebel-controlled suburb killed more than 100 people in Damascus. CBS News reports that this is one of the deadliest attacks led by Bashar al-Assad’s government in the last three years.

Elevated bombardment in the last few weeks are reported to be pointing toward a wide-scale assault on eastern Ghouta to recapture the last major rebel-held stronghold near Damascus.

During the meeting’s public comments, a former RCPD employee pushed for a more transparent director of the RCPD. The current director, Brad Schoen, announced his retirement earlier this month. Aaron Wright requested the board emphasize the value of transparency during their search for a new director. “The board needs to be certain the next director understands the true meaning of transparency, and that person should not pick and choose when to be transparent with board members and/or the public,” Wright said. Wright also said the next director should take employee warnings and violations more seriously. “They should not protect an employee and threaten others to quiet their warnings, only to find out that particular employ-

K-STATE Men’s basketball seeks win against Texas JARRETT WHITSON THE COLLEGIAN

On Wednesday night, the Kansas State men’s basketball team will be back inside Bramlage Coliseum, where they will be hosting the University of Texas. The two teams last met on Feb. 7 in Austin, Texas, where K-State came out on top with a narrow 67-64 victory. Junior forward Dean Wade led the way in scoring for K-State, posting 16 points. Junior guard Barry Brown scored 11 points and added six rebounds and assists. Freshman forward Mohamed Bamba registered a double-double for Texas, scoring 18 points and grabbing 12 rebounds. K-State’s victory over the Longhorns halted a two-game skid and was a bright spot during a stretch that saw them lose three of four games. While the Wildcats lost

their very next game to Texas Tech, they have since won two in a row. The first win of the two came on Valentine’s Day when they left Stillwater, Oklahoma, with an 82-72 win against Oklahoma State. Brown showed up big for K-State, putting up 25 points in the win. It was the first game that he scored in double figures for nearly a month. Brown and the Wildcats carried their momentum back to Manhattan when they faced Iowa State on Saturday. In a well-rounded performance, K-State prevailed against the Cyclones to win 78-66. Wade, Brown and sophomore forward Xavier Sneed all scored in double figures. Wade dropped 25 points and nearly had a triple-double, adding nine assists and eight rebounds to his stat line. Brown scored 20 points and dished out three assists on the side. Along with his 17 points,

Sneed grabbed seven rebounds. Shooting was a big problem for K-State during their recent struggles. In the last two games, though, they are shooting an average of 53 percent from the field and 42 percent from three-point range. Texas has gone 2-3 in its last five games, with both wins coming against rival University of Oklahoma. It also fell to Baylor by just one point Feb. 12. Bamba is easily the best player for the Longhorns. He averages 13.6 points per game and 11.1 rebounds per game. He has registered 14 double-doubles this season. Bamba is also a shot-blocking machine, averaging 4 blocks per game. Both teams are currently projected to be in the NCAA Tournament come March. ESPN Bracketology expert Joe Lunardi has the Wildcats as the 11 seed in the Midwest region, matched up

with the University of Florida. CBS Sports Bracketology expert Jerry Palm has them as the 10 seed in the West region, facing the University of Missouri. Lunardi and Palm have the Longhorns as one of the “Last Four In,” playing in a “First Four” game. Despite these projections, a win for either team will be instrumental in punching their ticket to the big dance. K-State is currently 19-8 overall and 8-6 in Big 12 play, while Texas is 16-11 and 6-8 in the conference. The game is scheduled to tip Wednesday at 8 p.m. and can be watched on ESPNU or listened to via the K-State Sports Network. Alex Todd | COLLEGIAN MEDIA GROUP

K-State Wildcat sophomore forward Peyton Williams shoots the ball to make two points for the Wildcats. On Wednesday, the women’s basketball team faced off against the West Virginia Mountaineers in Bramlage Coliseum. West Virginia won with a final score of 75-66.

The Kansas State women’s basketball team fell to 13-14 at the hands of the West Virginia University Mountaineers on Tuesday night in Bramlage Coliseum. The Wildcats lost 75-66. The Mountaineers came out guns blazing, making three of their first five three-point shots to take a 12-5 lead. K-State would battle back a little, but still trailed 17-11 at the end of the first quarter. “I will stand around and shoot threes if we are going to [shoot like] that,” West Virginia head coach Mike Carey said. The Wildcats had offensive

trouble in the first quarter, making only five of 15 shots and only one of five threes. The scoring was evenly distributed between five Wildcats. Freshman guard and sharp-shooter Rachel Ranke had the lone three of the quarter for K-State. After starting the second quarter on a 4-0 run, K-State ran into a stretch of almost three minutes where they could not find a basket. Despite the offensive woes, West Virginia was only able to match the Wildcats’ four points during that stretch.

The Wildcats’ three-point woes continued through the second quarter, where the Wildcats took four more treys and missed all of them. K-State shot 6-16 on the quarter. The Wildcat defense prevented West Virginia from extending their lead beyond the six-point lead they had amassed by the end of the first quarter. The Mountaineers took a 30-24 lead into the locker room at halftime.

K-STATE WILDCATS | continued from page

West Virginia shot out of the gates on a 6-2 run to start the third quarter and stretched their lead to 10. K-State answered the call and showed some life in the third quarter. A three-pointer from senior forward Kaylee Page cut the lead to five and forced a Mountaineer timeout. However, West Virginia would manage to keep the Wildcats at arm’s length for the rest of the quarter. The Mountaineers pushed their lead out to ten points by the end of the third, 51-41. “They got a couple timely

[offensive rebounds] during that stretch,” K-State head coach Jeff Mittie said. Early in the fourth quarter, K-State’s bench was assessed a technical foul after a questionable outof-bounds call. West Virginia senior forward Teana Muldrow made both of the free throws, and then senior forward Kristina King made a layup to stretch the WVU lead to 14. “I’ve never in my career gotten a technical over one call; it usually builds,” Mittie said. Sophomore forward Peyton Williams led the Wildcats with 18 points and six rebounds. Junior guard Kayla Goth contributed another 14 points and five assists. “I struggled to get everybody moving in the offense, my

only response to that was to try to go score,” Goth said. “[Page] shot the ball well, I am pretty sure that is where the majority of my assists came from.” Two other Wildcats, Page and Ranke, contributed double digit points in the loss with 16 and 11, respectively. The Wildcats had one last push in them, three free throws from Page cut the Mountaineer lead to seven with about 90 seconds left. “Kansas State didn’t quit — they came back and made it close at the end,” Carey said. “Give Kansas State credit, too. They hung in there.”

At PyeongChang Winter Olympic Games, US has long way to go

OPINION: Eric Hosmer made a smart move to join Padres

ALEX DAHN

AVERY OSEN

THE COLLEGIAN

As the 2018 Winter Olympics in PyeongChang, South Korea, begin to wrap up, the United States has been lacking in gold medals and is on pace for its worst performance in the Winter Olympics since 1998. The United States has 12 total medals so far, and only five of them are gold. The other seven medals for the United States include three silver and four bronze, good for seizing the No. 6 spot in the current medal standings between France and Sweden. Red Gerard brought home the first gold medal for the United States in a comeback in the men’s snowboard slopestyle competition. Gerard was in last place going into his final run and managed to score an 87.16, just over one point higher than silver medalist, Canada’s Max Parrot. Gerard also overslept on the day of his competition after watching

Netflix late the night before. Jamie Anderson took the next gold medal for the United States in the ladies’ snowboard slopestyle with a score of 83.00. Anderson got her gold-winning score on her first run of the day in weather conditions, which included strong winds, that could have been dangerous for the competitors. “I was trying to keep the spirits high, like, ‘Let’s run it,’” the 27-yearold athlete said, according to the Associated Press. “A handful of the girls were like, ‘No, it’s not safe,’ and things like that. It’s not like what we’re doing is safe, anyhow.” Next to bring home gold for the United States was Chloe Kim in the ladies’ halfpipe with an almost perfect score of 98.75, which was nearly nine points higher than second place Jiayu Liu from China. Kim became the youngest woman to win an Olympic snowboarding gold medal at age 17. She won her gold medal in her parents’ home country of South

Korea. Shaun White then scored a 97.75 in the men’s halfpipe event, which made him the first man to win three snowboarding gold medals. This near-perfect score comes just one month after White’s performance at the U.S. Grand Prix, in which he scored a perfect 100 to qualify for the Olympics. This medal was also the 100th all-time gold medal to be awarded to the United States in the Winter Games. Mikaela Shiffrin took the fifth gold medal for the United States with her performance in the ladies’ giant slalom with her 2:20.02 total time. Shiffrin won gold in Sochi in 2014 and is the reigning World Cup overall champion. Her medal in PyeongChang made her the first woman to win three straight world slalom titles in 78 years. The United States still has time to get more gold medals with one more week of competition to go.

THE COLLEGIAN

My favorite player of all time in Major League Baseball is Eric Hosmer. So much so, I want to name my kid Hoz (if my wife approves, of course). He led the team that I’ve cheered for since I was in diapers to back-toback World Series and has meant so much to Kansas City. I didn’t ever get to watch Kansas City Royal great George Brett play, but I can imagine it looked very similar to the way that Hosmer approaches the game of baseball. The Royals play with toughness and passion, and the fans can certainly see that when they take the

field every summer night. But as we turn on the television this spring, the man playing first base for the Royals will be different, as Hosmer has decided to sign with the San Diego Padres for a monster $144 million over eight seasons. It’s a day that we knew was coming, but now that it’s here, it stings a little bit. Now if anyone blames Hosmer for leaving or bad mouths him, that’s a you problem and not a him problem. Hosmer did wonders for this team, and what he provided was something that Kansas City really needed. This was Hosmer’s chance to cash in big after being a star in this league, and I don’t blame him. For a majority of his career,

the Royals were not paying much for an all-star first baseman, and that wasn’t going to last forever. I’m glad for Hosmer and I wish him all the best in San Diego. There is a chance one day his number will sit in the outfield at Kauffman Stadium with the rest of the retired numbers because he meant that much and was special during his time as a Kansas City Royal.

Out of left field: The wild, wild National League West predictions CODY FRIESEN

THE COLLEGIAN

The MLB’s National League West fielded three teams in the playoffs last season, including the team with the league’s best record. There is a strong chance that the National League pennant could run through the West for a long time.

LOS ANGELES DODGERS

The Los Angeles Dodgers are looking for redemption this season fresh off a loss in game seven of the World Series to the Houston Astros last season.

The Dodgers want to establish a dynasty in the NL West with several young, all-star-caliber players headlined by Cody Bellinger and Corey Seager. Los Angeles has one of the most dangerous starting rotations in baseball right now and the most dominant closer in the game in Kenley Jansen. The Dodgers could be the most dangerous team in the entire National League right now and are my favorites to win the NL West.

ARIZONA DIAMONDBACKS The Arizona Diamondbacks surprised a lot of people

last year when they made the playoffs. The Diamondbacks have decent starting pitching headlined by Zack Greinke and a solid lineup as well. The loss of J.D. Martinez could affect their power significantly in 2018, and the Diamondbacks will rely on Paul Goldschmidt and Jake Lamb for their offense this season. I think Arizona may be in the playoff hunt for the majority of the season but will ultimately miss the playoffs.

COLORADO ROCKIES Colorado has a goal to reach the playoffs again after a very early exit in 2017 after a Wild Card Game loss to the

Diamondbacks. The Rockies are bringing back the majority of their core players who helped them reach that Wild Card in 2017. They are very impressive defensively and have a lot of power at the plate. Nolan Arenado and Trevor Story will likely lead the Rockies into a second consecutive playoff appearance. The Rockies could be the biggest threat to the Dodgers this season and have the potential to dethrone the reigning NL West Champions.

than people give them credit for and will have a good balance of leadership and untapped potential. They will have a lot of power at the plate and will have a very solid defense. Will Myers and Eric Hosmer will aim to lead the Padres to above .500 for the first time since 2010. I think the Padres will actually be relevant in the division in 2018 and will make a return to the playoffs in the next three years. Starting pitching has the potential to be their Achilles’ heel in 2018.

SAN DIEGO PADRES

SAN FRANCISCO GIANTS

The Padres are further along in the rebuilding phase

After a frustrating 2017

campaign, the San Francisco Giants dished out millions of dollars to get aging big-name free agents Evan Longoria and Andrew McCutchen. It will be interesting to see how this works out for the Giants considering the amount rising stars in the division. The Giants will want to regain their dynasty once again, and with dominant pitching from Madison Bumgarner and Johnny Cueto they might be able to make a run again. It is an even year, which the Giants tend to dominate, but really anything can happen in the wild West.

Cat Cuisine: Vista serves students, community history CONRAD KABUS THE COLLEGIAN

Vista Drive In was established in 1964 in Manhattan, and since then has dished out stories about family, burgers, Kansas State students and even Bill Murray. The current owners of Vista Drive In endow the restaurant as Manhattan’s original mom-and-pop drive in, and although the surrounding area has evolved, the basic principle for Vista has always stayed the same. “How we cook our burger is done exactly the same today as it was when we opened in 1964,” Brad Streeter said. Brad and his wife Karen Streeter oversee the operations of Vista Drive In.

THE HISTORY

Brad chuckled when he was asked about the history of the original Manhattan momand-pop drive in. “This’ll take 30 minutes,” Brad said. Brad’s father, Charles Streeter, sold ICEE machines to restaurants in the late ‘50s to early ‘60s. After Charles started having trouble with sales, the family decided to sell the frozen treat at concession stands at local events and discovered that selling the ICEEs was more profitable than selling the machine itself. The Streeter family took the experience garnered from all of the restaurants Charles had traveled to while selling ICEE machines to create Vista Drive In. Brad was 14 years old on the first day the restaurant opened, and he remembers the many hiccups the family had with the fledgling restaurant. But it didn’t take long to discover how to serve up fast happiness in Manhattan. “I remember the first night we forgot to have a salt shaker,” Brad Streeter said. “It was an idea and a concept, and nobody knew what they were really doing.” Over the years, Vista Drive In would become a high

school hang out for local students, a community gathering place for breakfast clubs and the location of a first date for Mitch Holthus, the voice of the Kansas City Chiefs. Even comedian Bill Murray once snacked at Vista Drive In while visiting one of his relatives for their graduation. Two of Brad and Karen’s three sons are currently helping them with Vista Drive In. Andy Streeter, their oldest child, is the general manager of the Manhattan eatery. Matt Streeter, the youngest, works in the Vista Food Truck, which can be found occasionally at Bosco Plaza and other locations around town.

THE MENU

Although the idea and principle for Vista has remained the same since its beginnings, the menu has evolved through the years with the addition of Monster Meals for children, as well as the addition of frosty treats such as cyclones. The chili is still made the way Charles and his wife Martha Streeter made it on their honeymoon in 1941 with hamburger, onions, red beans, tomatoes and spices. Employees still squeeze limes daily for the restaurant’s limeades, and corn dogs are also still “stuck” daily. “Our brownies are still made from scratch,” Karen said, adding to the list of favorites she and her husband have at the restaurant. Vista Drive In still uses Martha’s original recipe, which she taught to her home economics class in Wamego. After the school bell would ring at Wamego High School, Martha would come over to Vista Drive In to help with the restaurant. Karen, who was not yet married into the family, was in that home economics class in Wamego. “In fact, I graded her papers,” Brad said with a laugh.

VISTA AND K-STATE

Since the conception of

Conrad Kabus | COLLEGIAN MEDIA GROUP

Vista Drive In is a staple restaurant in Manhattan. Their different options and atmosphere – whether you buy from the restaurant or the food truck – both change the community surrounding it. Vista Drive In, the restaurant has supported K-State and student organizations in the area. The burger joint has donated items like cups, napkins and coupons to school functions. Vista received an oar from the rowing team in the early ‘70s and a baseball in the ‘80s from the K-State baseball team, and Vista has helped with K-State Band fundraisers. In fact, Vista Drive In plans to welcome Fake Patty’s Day goers on March 10 in conjunction with an Alpha

Delta Pi philanthropy event. “If you support the community, the community will support you,” Karen said. Several of Vista’s employees have been K-State students in the past, including Alexsis Garles, sophomore in entrepreneurship. Garles is new to the restaurant staff and has worked with Vista Drive In for a little over a month. “I met with Andy, the general manager, and he was super nice and said he would be super flexible with my hours, which I really needed,” Garles

said. “I’m taking 18 hours this semester, so that was nice.” Brad said employees learn how to do everything in the restaurant in the first two weeks, so they are able to engage in new things every day. Garles said adapting to the fast-paced atmosphere was a shock at first, but then it came

naturally to her. “Our goal here is to get the food out to the customer in less than five minutes, which we really pride ourselves on,” Garles said. Vista Drive In is located at 1911 Tuttle Creek Blvd. and is open from 7 a.m. to 11 p.m. every day.

A Place to Call Home OPINION: Four items that make a house or apartment a home KYLE HAMPEL

THE COLLEGIAN

They say there’s no place like home, but it’s pretty inconvenient to drag your parents and your dog to college with you. Here are a few essentials to make your rental house feel more like a home.

1. CARPETS AND RUGS

house without it. Trust me, I’ve been there. A fuzzy floorplan goes a long way toward making your residence feel more cozy, and if your house doesn’t have any carpet, rugs can be just as good. No one wants to put their bare feet on a concrete floor in the winter, so give your future self a break.

2. WELCOME MATS

You’ll never know how much you take carpet for granted until you live in a

wipe off your muddy shoes and keep the interior spotless. It’s a win-win!

3. WARM LIGHTING

This one’s very subtle, but it can make a big difference for your mood and psyche. Believe it or not, one of the easiest ways to make your house feel more inviting is by buying the right light bulbs.

It’s a small touch to be sure, but a welcome mat really makes your house feel more homey. Plus, you can use it to

The Semi-Daily Kaylie: Thoughts on going makeup-free for 48 hours KAYLIE MCLAUGHLIN THE COLLEGIAN

I didn’t wear makeup for 48 hours, and it was probably the hardest thing I’ve ever done.

Yeah, there were a few parts I enjoyed. I got to sleep in an extra 20 minutes every day, and the ability to rub my eyes without worrying about smearing a black cloud of eye shadow, eyeliner and mascara

into a racoon mask was really nice. After only two days, my skin felt softer and looked clearer than it had in a really long time. None of that really matters, though.

I hated it. Every second of that two-day period left me feeling exposed, and whenever I looked in the mirror, I hardly recognized the tired-looking girl staring back at me. Makeup is my arsenal, my

barrier from the world that I’ve relied on pretty consistently since I was 12. It’s something I’ve watched my mom, my grandma and pretty much every other woman in my life mount onto their faces to hide

whatever it is they are insecure about.

Students learn to stress less at Counseling Services’ Kat Chat DAYTON BOSSARD THE COLLEGIAN

Students gathered in Leasure Hall on Tuesday to learn how to manage stress at the at the fourth Kat Chat of the semester provided by Counseling Services. The workshop, led by certified peer educator Paige Humphrey, senior in biology, focused on how to identify and manage stress. “Certain things may be stressing you out more than you realize,” Humphrey said. There are three main types of stress, Humphrey said: eustress, distress and too little stress. Eustress is a stress that is productive and pushes people to work harder. Distress induces anxiety, anger or panic. Furthermore, a person without stress may be less motivated. The audience members completed two exercises to help

them identify their stress levels and how their bodies react to stress. Humphrey said there are a lot of physical, emotional and behavioral reactions to stress, which may include irritability, increase in impulsive behavior and disturbed sleep. “Stress is not the same for everyone,” Humphrey said. Stress can be managed by building connections with people, breaking issues down into manageable steps and getting enough sleep. To keep calm and manage stress in the moment, Humphrey shared the 4-7-8 breathing exercise, telling the audience to inhale for four seconds through the nose, hold it for seven seconds, then exhale for eight seconds. “When I tried it the first time it made me more nervous,” Haley Weinberg, junior in landscape architecture, said. “But the second time I was good.”

Weinberg is a resident living assistant for an architecture-based CAT Community, as is Jaasiel Duarte, junior in architecture. “This is a great resource,” Duarte said. “Being here ourselves is a good way to get familiar with these types of topics and see the signs in our students and also how to lead them toward a solution.” Stress management is an important skill to have in college, Humphrey said. “A lot of college students are really stressed out all of the time,” Humphrey said. “We’ve got a lot of classes that demand a lot of us. Most of [us] work jobs, and we are really setting ourselves up for our future here. So this is a really important time to learn these skills.” The next Kat Chat event, “Body Dissatisfaction and Eating Disorders: Not Just Female Problems,” will be held Feb. 27 in 13 Leasure at 4 p.m.
