Hundreds of business students meet employers at career fair

Tax increase to close LLC ‘loophole’ fails in KS Senate by three votes

KAITLYN ALANIS

About 400 students in Kansas State’s College of Business Administration dressed in business professional attire to talk to 86 registered employers during the annual business career fair in the Student Union on Wednesday. Tadd Hiatt, junior in marketing, attended the career fair for the first time and said he was a little nervous going to talk to employers. “Since this is my first one, I was pretty nervous,” Hiatt said. “I actually just talked to one person and it went well, so I’m going to keep doing me and hope that works out.” Hiatt said his preparation before the career fair paid off because it helped make his conversations easier. “I went to career services and made sure my resume was looking sharp and eye-appealing,” Hiatt said. “I also researched some of the businesses that were going to be here.” One of the employers that students had the opportunity to talk to was Travelers Insurance. Connor Kidd, claims representative in auto insurance for Travelers Insurance, graduated from K-State with a degree in finance, and said he was excited to be on the other side of the table

Gov. Sam Brownback’s veto of House Bill 2178, “the largest tax increase in Kansas history,” stands after the Legislature fell three votes short of what was needed to override the governor. The House voted to override the governor 85-40, which was one vote over the required two-thirds majority, and the senators voted 24-16, which was three votes short of what was needed to override the veto. The bill would have raised more than $1 billion over two years through increasing income tax rates and ending an exemption for more than 330,000 business owners. “This tax bill would have fixed what is called the LLC

during the career fair. “It’s fun,” Kidd said. “This is my first time doing it and it’s different to see the way Manhattan has changed. I come back for football games too, but it seems like something has popped up every time I come back.” Kidd said his biggest advice for students looking for their first job is, “Do not be picky, especially in today’s market.” Also with Travelers Insurance, and a K-State alumnus in marketing, sales executive Jason Goodman said it is fun to come back and visit with students. “It’s interesting being on this side of the table, but it kind of takes you back to being in their shoes,” Goodman said. “It’s also

fun to offer advice if they want it.” Goodman said his biggest piece of advice is, “If you want to stand out, be proactive and try to initiate conversations with employers.” Kevin Mokhtarian, associate director of the Career Center and chair of the business career fair, said he started planning for this career fair six months ago, but that it is a rewarding process. “It’s great when the students you have worked with during the year and prepared to talk with employers come out with smiles and stories about, ‘Hey, I was able to provide my resume, I’ve got an interview scheduled,’” Mokhtarian said. “It’s very exciting.”

K-State grad helps students achieve goals through The MillionTo1 Club JORDAN PULLIAM THE COLLEGIAN

When many people sit down to watch a movie on Valentine’s Day, they are only thinking of their significant other and the buttery popcorn in front of them. This was not the case for Carmen Schober, a Kansas State graduate, just over one year ago. She said the only thought that was

running through her mind was how she could achieve her goals and help others do the same. At the time, Schober was an expository writing teacher at K-State and a mentor with K-State First. Although she had a passion for teaching, she said she felt as if she wanted more. “I have all these different goals,” Schober said. “I want to be a best-selling writer, have multiple sources of income and be a

great kick-boxer, but I realized in my 8-5 adulting life that if I didn’t do something different, I wasn’t going to achieve my goals.” On Feb. 14, 2016, Schober was watching “Rocky” with her husband when she realized it is a story about someone with goals.

OPINION: Underwood’s return to Bramlage tough SCOTT POPP

THE COLLEGIAN

Ah, what could have been. It’s a commonality in the sports world. What if that 3-point buzzer-beater would’ve gone in? What if they wouldn’t have missed that field goal as time expired? What if he would’ve hit a walk-off home run in the bottom of the ninth? A big “what could have been” happened right before our eyes last night in Bramlage Coliseum. Brad Underwood, a former Kansas State player and assistant coach, entered Bramlage Coliseum Wednesday for the first time as a head coach. However, unlike so many times before, Underwood went to the visitor’s locker room as the head coach of the Oklahoma State Cowboys. And it stings now like never before. Underwood was a hot commodity at the end of last season after a wildly successful stint as the head coach of Stephen F. Austin. Underwood led the team to an 89-14 record in his three seasons at the helm. It is a tie for the most wins by a head coach in his first three seasons at an NCAA school. It was apparent that Underwood was ready for a power five gig if the right opening came. K-State could’ve and should’ve probably made their move. Fire Bruce Weber and hire Underwood. Instead, Weber was given

at least another season with the Wildcats and Underwood was swooped away by Big 12 foe Oklahoma State. Moving on to Wednesday night’s game, Oklahoma State out-played and out-hustled K-State for much of their 8068 win over the Cats. After such a tough defeat, it’s hard not to think about what could have been if Underwood were pacing K-State’s bench instead of the visitor’s. It stings even more seeing the immediate success Underwood has brought to the Oklahoma State program. The Cowboys have been on fire. Oklahoma State currently

sits at 19-9 and 8-7 in the Big 12. They are fifth in the Big 12 standings, have won nine of their last 10 games and are all but a lock for the NCAA tournament in March. This is the same team that went 12-20 and 3-15 in the Big 12 a year ago under Travis Ford. They are already a vastly improved team after less than a year of Underwood’s guidance. K-State’s season, on the other hand, is playing out all too similarly to the past two seasons of mediocrity. The Wildcats have lost nine of their last 13. Nine. That’s really bad. The NCAA tournament bubble is incredibly soft this year, but a team that loses nine of

their last 13 games down the biggest part of their schedule does not deserve to hear their name called on Selection Sunday. And it’s not just about that. K-State may very well win the last three games, pull out a game or two in the Big 12 tournament and participate in March Madness. But that’s not the point. The point is that this K-State basketball program is generally trending downward. The Wildcats won a share of the Big 12 in Weber’s first year and have consistently gotten worse since. This season started with promise. The Wildcats returned two very good seniors to go along with a talented trio of sophomores. That same team should not be losing four consecutive home games in February, no matter who the opponents are. So, in the final seconds of Wednesday night’s contest, as the Oklahoma State Cowboys dribbled out the clock handing the Wildcats yet another loss, it was hard to watch. It was hard not to think about how would this game have gone down if Brad Underwood were the head coach of the Kansas State Wildcats. Scott Popp is a senior in journalism.

K-State falls short in loss against Cowboys SCOTT POPP

THE COLLEGIAN

The Kansas State men’s basketball team led for the first 23 minutes and 57 seconds of the game against Oklahoma State Wednesday night. But the Wildcats ran out of steam early in the second half and Oklahoma State made them pay. Once the Cowboys took a lead, they would never relinquish it, going on to beat the Wildcats 80-68. The Wildcats are now 17-

11 and 6-9 in the Big 12. It was the fourth straight home loss for the Wildcats, who have not one in Bramlage since Jan. 21, when K-State beat West Virginia. “It’s nothing confusing,” senior forward D.J. Johnson said about the struggles at home. “It’s been the same thing every time we lose. Momentum shifts and it’s us not sharing the ball and not getting the stops we need. It’s not a lost recipe. We know what we need to do.” The start was not the problem for the Wildcats. K-State pulled

ahead 8-0 early in the half, meanwhile Oklahoma State’s first basket didn’t come until the 14:10 mark in the half. K-State was aided by some hot shooting from the 3-point line. The Wildcats were five of 11 from the arc in the half. Midway through the half, three straight 3s gave the Wildcats a 33-19 lead; their biggest of the game. The Oklahoma State offense did not stay silent for long. After K-State took the 14-point advantage, the Cowboys responded with a 14-0 run, capped by a technical

foul on K-State sophomore guard Kamau Stokes for arguing with officials after a few questionable calls. “I think the momentum shifted,” senior forward Wesley Iwundu said. “From there Oklahoma State went on a run and did a very good job of doing it.” An Oklahoma State 3-pointer at the halftime buzzer cut the Wildcats’ lead to 39-38.

The Kansas State baseball team will put its best start since 2011 on the line this weekend when they play four games in South Carolina, starting Thursday. They’ll begin the trip with a matchup against the South Carolina Gamecocks, with the first pitch set for 3 p.m. CST on Thursday. South Carolina is 3-1 this season and ranked fourth in the nation in the D1Baseball.com National Poll. This is the first ever meeting between these two teams. The Wildcats have lost 14 straight games against ranked opponents. They last defeated a ranked opponent on April 17, 2015 against No. 19 Texas Tech. After the Thursday game, K-State will take on St. John’s, who is 4-0 this season, on Friday at 1 p.m. They are coming off a win over the defending national champions, Coastal Carolina, and have a plus-30 run differential in the first

handful of games this season. K-State leads the alltime series with St. John’s 2-0, with the last matchup taking place back in 2007. The Wildcats will play two games against Liberty with the first game at 1 p.m. on Saturday and the second at 10 a.m. Sunday. Liberty is 2-1 this season and they were picked third in the Big South’s preseason poll. These two teams have met once in their history, which was a 6-4 K-State win back in 1989. The Wildcats come into this weekend with wins over Pittsburgh, Delaware and Ohio State last week in Florida at the Sunshine State Classic. Senior outfielder Quinten Crandall has a 12-game on-base streak, continuing from last season. The pitching staff was strong last weekend against Delaware and Pittsburgh as they struck out 21 batters. K-State will have its home opener March 3 when they host Eastern Illinois for a three-game series in Manhattan.

Three cases of mumps confirmed at K-State within 21 days KAITLYN ALANIS THE COLLEGIAN

In a K-State Today Special Alert sent to all Kansas State students on Wednesday, K-State confirmed three student cases of mumps since January. All three students were diagnosed within 21 days of each other. According to the release, the university is notifying those who may have been “in close contact” with any of the three students. All three students live off campus. On Jan. 26, the Collegian reported on a Jan. 25 confirmed case of mumps at K-State. Julie Gibbs, director of health promotion, had told the Collegian that an email was sent to students who may have been exposed to the student, but no more information was available at that time.
