Letter from student body president Jack Ayres, February 23 Hey Wildcats, We hope your first month back this semester has been great! We have had a busy few weeks and wanted to give you an update. Fourteen Kansas State students traveled to Topeka on Feb. 6 and 7 for the 2018 State Higher Ed Day! Students from the seven
four-year institutions met on Tuesday for training and then were in the Capitol all day on Wednesday to meet with legislators about issues affecting higher education students. The main priority was a restoration of funding of about $5 million to K-State and $25 million to the whole Kansas Board of Regents system. We also advocated for
localized control of campus carry, allowing universities to determine their own rules regarding concealed carry on campus, and a legislated statewide affirmative consent policy that for sexual contact, “yes means yes,” and is not just the absence of “no.” We encourage students to continue to follow the legislative session as there may
be a lot that impacts higher education. For more information, tune into updates from SGA or visit www.k-state. edu/govrelations. Elections are in full swing following the primary elections for Student Body President! General elections will be on March 6 and 7 for Student Body President and Vice President, Student
Senate, Union Governing Board, College Council and for the Board of Directors for Student Publications. Voting will be available at sgaelections.ksu.edu. Don’t forget to stop by our weekly Student Senate meetings on Thursdays at 7 p.m. to listen to more updates and legislation written by students for students. Follow us

OPINION: 21 thoughts that come up while at the Rec Complex GABRIELLE ALBERTSON
thinks that way, but I feel that we all have that question lingering in our minds during our time at the gym. With that in mind, here are 21 thoughts that come to my mind while working out at Kansas State’s Recreation Complex. I sure hope I’m not the only one who thinks like this. 1. Am I running fast
THE COLLEGIAN
Sometimes it can be kind of awkward going to the gym. In a way, I feel like I’m being judged. Am I using the equipment right, or am I not? It could just be me who
enough? 2. Oh shoot, did that guy just catch me staring at him? 3. Is he staring at me? 4. Oh my God, this just got awkward. 5. Should I up my weights in arms today? 6. Oh no, these weights are too heavy. I hope no one noticed I put them down right away.
Manhattan named ‘most boring’ Kansas city by Business Insider RACHEL HOGAN THE COLLEGIAN
Business Insider named Manhattan the "most boring" city in Kansas, with Wichita being the "most exciting" Friday. Data from the Census Bureau's analysis of county business patterns in 2015 was used to determine the most and least excit-
h
ing cities in each state. The number of businesses that fall into 66 categories of interest, such as museums and art dealers determined each city's value of excitement. Cities with the greatest number of these establishments were deemed to be the most exciting, while the cities with the least were deemed to be the most boring. Cities outside of a metropolitan area were not considered.
Therefore, Rhode Island and Vermont are not included in the article as they lack federally defined metro areas. The article also listed St. Louis as the most exciting city in Missouri and Cape Girardeau as the most boring. For Oklahoma, Oklahoma City and Lawton were determined to be the most exciting and most boring cities in the state, respectively.

7. Should I walk away and go back to cardio? 8. Oh no, now I’m embarrassed. What do I do? 9. Maybe it should be a leg day and not an arm day. 10. Yeah, I’m better at legs. At least, I think I am. 11. Let’s do the squat bar. 12. Oh no, I put too high of a weight on the squat bar.
13. These guys behind me probably think I don’t know what I’m doing. 14. OK, just act natural. 15. That draws the line. I’m going to walk away now. 16. I guess I could just stick with running for today. 17. I’m so tired. What mile am I on? 18. Only mile three?
You’ve got to be kidding me. 19. Maybe I should just give up and go home. 20. The gym is just not my place to be today. 21. I guess I will try again tomorrow.

Wildcats look to keep win streak rolling against Oklahoma Sooners
K-State women's basketball to host KU Jayhawks Saturday JULIA JORNS
THE COLLEGIAN
Logan Wassall | COLLEGIAN MEDIA GROUP
Sophomore forward Xavier Sneed jumps up for a shot against Texas in Bramlage Coliseum on Feb. 21, 2018. The Wildcats took the Longhorns 58-48.
AVERY OSEN
THE COLLEGIAN
The Kansas State men’s basketball team will look to keep a three game winning streak rolling as they travel south to Norman, Oklahoma, to face off against the University of Oklahoma Sooners on Saturday at 5 p.m. on ESPNU. K-State sits in a tie for third in the conference with three games to go, as they are tied with West Virginia University at 9-6 in Big 12 play. Both those teams are one game behind Texas Tech — who is 10-5 — and two games behind Kansas at 11-4. The game will have postseason implications as the Wildcats are on the bubble in many experts’ NCAA bracket predications.
The Wildcats are coming off a win on Wednesday night against the University of Texas. K-State didn’t shoot particularly well, but used a 16-4 run to close out the game. Junior Barry Brown led the crusade in the 58-48 win. The Wildcats now turn their attention to the Oklahoma Sooners, who have been on a downhill slope as of late, which started with a loss at K-State on Jan. 16. K-State has played very well since then, but the then-No. 4 Oklahoma is barely still in the tournament projections after stumbling in since that loss in Manhattan. The defense for K-State, led by Brown, played well against star freshman Trae Young, who scored only 20 points in the loss. Young shot just 2-10 from the three point
line and 8-21 overall. The Wildcats will need to keep him quiet on Saturday to come out with a win. Oklahoma freshman Brady Manek had 12 points in the game and has been a pleasant surprise for the Sooners since Young began to struggle. Brown and junior Dean Wade led K-State with 24 and 21 points, respectively. Freshman Cartier Diarra had 16 points, and sophomore Xavier Sneed provided 13 in the winning effort. The Sooners have lost six straight games and are in a tie for seventh with Oklahoma State and Texas at 6-9. K-State is looking to avenge a 30-point loss in Norman just one year ago and sweep the Sooners for the first time since the 20142015 season.
The Kansas State women’s basketball team will host Kansas on Saturday inside Bramlage Coliseum in Manhattan with tip off scheduled for 3 p.m. This will be the second meeting of the season for the two teams and will be senior night for K-State’s Kaylee Page and Shaelyn Martin. This is the 118th game in the Sunflower Showdown. K-State is 71-46 against KU all-time in this series. The Wildcats have won eight straight games against the Jayhawks in women’s basketball. K-State is 13-14, 5-11 in the Big 12 this season. KU is 12-15 overall, 3-13 in conference play. The Wildcats have lost their last three games by 11 or more points. The Jayhawks have not fared well against conference opponents but
were able to beat Oklahoma State. Page and Martin have started every game that this season. Page has 23 blocks this season and averages nine points a game. Martin has been a key player for K-State this season with 180 rebounds — 141 coming on the defensive end of the court. In the first game of the season series, K-State beat KU in Lawrence at Allen Fieldhouse on Jan. 28. The Wildcats took the Jayhawks to overtime and won 63-59. Sophomore Peyton Williams scored a game-high 23 points and eight rebounds. Williams was perfect from the free-throw line, going 5-5. Junior Kayla Goth contributed 14 points, six assists and three steals. Juniors Brianna Osorio and Kylee Kopatich led the Jayhawks in that game with 15 points each. Kopatich added a game-high 12 boards. K-State shot 35 percent from the field and 25 percent
from beyond the arc. They were out-rebounded by seven. The Wildcats totaled 43 rebounds, with 34 coming on the defensive end. KU crashed the boards with 37 defensive rebounds and 50 total. As a team this season, the Wildcats score 66 points a game and shoot 40 percent from the field. From the foul line, they shoot 70 percent and make 12 free throws per game. Although they rebound 34 times a match-up, they allow their opponents to come away with 42. Working together and passing the ball to get a shot off will be an important factor for K-State in this game. Not allowing KU to get so many defensive rebounds will be something for the Wildcats to work on and maintain focus on. Fans not able to attend the game can watch for free on kstatesports.com when the Wildcats and Jayhawks tip off at 3 p.m. on Saturday.

K-State baseball prepares to face Old Dominion in first season series JARRETT WHITSON THE COLLEGIAN
The Kansas State baseball team will be in Norfolk, Virginia, this weekend to square off against Old Dominion University. The series will be the first three-game series that the Wildcats have played in this season. The Wildcats started off the season in the 19th Annual Brittain Resorts Baseball at the Beach in South Carolina. While there, K-State came out with a 1-3 record, with their lone win coming against Virginia Tech.
In their last game, K-State was on the road K-State facing the Phoenix of Elon University. The Wildcats came out on top, ending 8-7. The win was narrow, but it did not have to be. After five innings, K-State was ahead 6-1. Elon scored two runs in the sixth inning and four in the seventh inning, but the Wildcats scored one run in each of those innings to escape with the win. Sophomore pitcher Caleb Littlejim made the most of his first start, getting credit for the Wildcat win. He finished the night with a 2.45 ERA. Fellow sophomore pitch-
er Jared Marolf was rewarded with the save. Sophomore outfielder Will Brennan had another great game. He went three for five from the plate. Brennan scored two runs and had two RBIs. Junior centerfielder Drew Mount led the Wildcats with three RBIs. Junior first baseman/ designated hitter Rainier Ausmus came in clutch for K-State. With two outs in the top of the seventh, Ausmus sent a pitch high into left field for a home run. That homer proved to be vital, as it pushed the Wildcats to eight runs, allowing them to edge
the Phoenix. K-State will head to Norfolk to face Old Dominion with some extra momentum after winning back-to-back games. Offensively, Brennan has been the star for the Wildcats early on this season. Brennan led the team in batting average last season as a freshman and has yet to surrender that title in 2018. Brennan leads the team with a .409 batting average. Brennan also has a team best five runs and nine hits. Old Dominion is currently 2-2. It opened the season with an 8-3 win over Saint Louis. The Monarchs went
on to lose their next two at the hands of Oakland by a score of 5-4, and the University of Iowa by a score of 4-1. They rebounded with a 4-2 win over Richmond on their home field. Old Dominion is led offensively by a sophomore outfielder. Kyle Battle is currently batting at .438, with an on-base-percentage of .500. Junior pitcher Morgan Maguire has pitched seven innings in two appearances for the Monarchs, with an ERA of 1.29 and has one win to his name. The other Monarch win is accredited to redshirt sophomore pitcher, Brett Smith.
Smith has pitched three innings in one appearance. He has faced 10 batters, allowing just one hit with an ERA of zero. As a team, Old Dominion is hitting .268, just slightly better than K-State who is hitting .214 as a team. This will be the first ever meeting between the Wildcats and Monarchs. Game one of the series will be Friday at 2 p.m. Game two will come on Saturday beginning at 1 p.m. The series will conclude with on Sunday at 11 a.m. All three games can be listened to on KMAN Radio, 1350 AM or 93.3 FM.
Professor presents wildlife research at Sunset Zoo’s Science on Tap HANNAH TAYLOR THE COLLEGIAN
In addition to craft beer, pub-goers at Tallgrass Tap House also drank up a Kansas State professor’s research during Wednesday’s Science on Tap event. Alice Boyle, assistant professor of biology, shared the highlights of her research on the effects of rising rainfalls in the tropics on the white-ruffed manakin – a small fruit-eating bird native to South America. Showing a picture of a wet, tropical forest in Costa Rica, Boyle said weather affects species there much differently than in Kansas. “In the tropics, arguably, rainfall is a much more important driver of how these communities are shaped than temperature,” Boyle said. For the most part, Boyle said, we are taught that more rain is usually better, that it means more plants and more food all the way up the food chain. However, her research shows that this is not always true. During her graduate research on why some tropical birds migrate over elevational gradients, Boyle’s findings focused first on food, but after five years of research, Boyle started to see that food was not driving those migrations so much as weather. “Twice as much rain falls at those higher elevation sites than the lower elevation sites,” Boyle said. The excessive
rain prevents these birds from scavenging for food, so some of them head for lower elevations. But, the birds that migrate to lower elevations suffer reproductive consequences, Boyle said. Male birds take a long time to work their way up in social status and master the high-speed, highly complicated mating dances. The birds that escape the bad conditions by migrating are then less socially mobile and less able to attract mates. Boyle is currently studying the social hierarchy and genetic makeup of the white-ruffed manakin to see if migration patterns from high to low elevations will change how individual males are able to dominate the reproductive scene in those systems. Boyle said she will continue to share her research by presenting at conferences and doing public outreach every semester in her lab, and she hopes more people become excited about science by making connections to their everyday lives and teaching them in a non-threatening way. Rachel Hunt, sophomore in biology, came to the event with her friends. She said it fueled her interest in birds, and she may take ecology classes in the future. Hunt said she hopes to come to more of these events in the future. Nicole Wade, programs and education animals manager at the Sunset Zoo, said the goal of Science on Tap is to share K-State’s research with the public in a relaxed environment. Science on Tap event is part of the

Relay For Life to return to KSU, raise funds for cancer research
Growing like a weed: Hemp supports ag industry, medicine OLIVIA BERGMEIER THE COLLEGIAN
Hannah Hunsinger | COLLEGIAN MEDIA GROUP
Participants in the K-State Relay For Life walk the track while others gather in the center of Memorial Stadium for an egg toss.
MOLLY HACKETT THE COLLEGIAN
Relay For Life is an organization sponsored by the American Cancer Society that puts on fundraisers all over the world to remember the people who have died of cancer, honor the people who are currently fighting cancer and, above all, raise money for cancer research. After taking a couple years off from holding one, Kansas State has decided to bring back a Relay For Life event that will be completely student-run next Saturday. The event will start with an opening ceremony where head football coach Bill Snyder will speak to the crowd, followed by the survivor/ caregiver walk, the luminaria walk to honor those fighting cancer and those who have died and then the closing ceremony at midnight. “The theme for the year is Monopoly, so we will have a lot of games that people can participate in,” Marie Jackson, sophomore in elementary education, said. “We will also have Bill Snyder, an
improv group and Cadence A Cappella Club as live entertainment. So, we will always have something for people to do so you will never be bored at the six-hour event.” The organizers are planning on having around 96 teams of about 300 students involved. Ultimately, they aim for individuals and teams to donate and raise funds toward a goal of $48,000. “People who want to get involved should definitely give it a try because any sort of charitable organization that you can participate in is a great thing to do,” Larissa Oshima, sophomore in architecture, said. Some students look for-
ward to the speakers who will be at the fundraiser. “My favorite part about Relay For Life is the luminaries because it shows all of the hope and love for all of the people who are fighting and for the people who have fought cancer,” Ethan Doherty, freshman in architecture, said. “You will never meet somebody that isn’t affected by cancer,” Jackson said. “It is such a widespread disease that everyone has some form of connection to it.” The Relay For Life fundraiser will be March 3 at the Chester E. Peters Recreation Complex from 6 p.m. to midnight
State senator Dan Kerschen, representing the 26th District, proposed a bill in January that would try to limit the growing research into industrial hemp use in Kansas. Senate Bill 263 proposes to put a limit on the Kansas Agricultural Industry Growth Act, passed last year by a vote of 103-18. Proponents of SB 263 claim that state agencies cannot differentiate between industrial hemp and illegally cultivated marijuana. Last year, the Kansas Legislature passed the Kansas Agricultural Industry Growth Act 103-18 in favor of the research and development of industrial
hemp to, in the future, grow the Kansas agricultural industry. Agriculture is a staple industry in the state of Kansas; the vast array of grains that Kansas soil offers allows for hundreds of different agricultural industries to flourish. In the latter half of the 19th century until the beginnings of the “War on Drugs,” Kansas had a different crop to fuel the various agricultural industries. According to Kelly Rippel, vice president and co-founder of Kansans for Hemp on Ministry of Hemp, the cultivation of industrial hemp and hemp products drove Kansas to take the title of number one in bushels per acre in 1863. Rippel said hemp grows
very well in Kansan soil and is proven to be helpful as a rotational crop to soybean and corn. Rippel also said wild hemp grows so well in Kansan soil that in the 1970s, there were multiple studies in the attempt to find a reliable eradication method. Rippel looked into these studies and asked a crucial question: “Why would we be killing something that grows?” Rippel continued with the idea that industrial hemp could provide an opportunity for Kansas to reach into 10 or more new industries and tens of thousands of new products to put on the state’s market.

Track and field teams to compete in Big 12 Indoor Championships ALEX DAHN
THE COLLEGIAN
After a strong performance at the Nebraska TuneUp, the Kansas State track and field team is looking forward to the Big 12 Indoor Championships, which will be hosted in Ames, Iowa, Friday. Junior Brett Neelly led the competition in Nebraska in the men’s shot put category, throwing an 18.34m/60-02 in Lincoln, and stands second in the Big 12 with his personal best of 19.19m/62-11.50, which he threw at the Texas Shootout last week. K-State also dominated the women’s 4x400-meter relay with a time of 3:45.43, which was almost 10 full seconds over South Dakota. The Wildcats running this race included sophomores Lauren Taubert and Akia Guerrier

The 2014 Farm Bill under President Obama provided limited legalization for the farming of industrial hemp and allowed for hemp products to flourish on the American market. CBD American Shaman, located on 11th Street in Manhattan, provides an assortment of hemp and CBD products to the community. CBD American Shaman arrived in Manhattan in October 2017. Local and out-of-town individuals began visiting in an attempt to find relief for their different ailments. One customer of CBD American Shaman, Barb Crismas, was in a head-on collision in 2010 where she sustained mul-
and seniors Keiteyana Parks and Ranae McKenzie. K-State also took third in this category with the team consisting of freshmen Paige Kimble, Victoria Robinson, Cara Melgares and sophomore Ariel Okorie, who together had a time of 3:58.91. Sophomore Helene Ingvaldsen was K-State’s last winner of the competition with her weight throw of 20.37m/66-10. This was Ingvaldsen’s sixth weight throw competition win of the season. Sophomore Ashley Petr did very well in the weight throw as well, posting a personal best throw of 18.16m/59-07, which was good for fifth place. And freshman Shaelyn Ward was right behind her at sixth with a throw of 17.85m/5806.75. "We feel we still have some big throws in us, Ashley [Petr] was pretty stoked to set a per-
sonal best of over two meters in the weight throw and Kyle [Mitchell] keeps getting better every week," assistant coach Greg Watson told K-State Sports."We have another week for us to prepare for the Big 12 Championships, and I think everyone is excited to get up to Ames and compete." Senior Mitch Dixon came in second in the men’s weight throw with a throw of 21.06m/69-01.25, which was less than one meter away from the the winning throw. Melgares set a new personal best in the women’s mile, recording a 4:57.66, which placed her second overall in the competition. Both K-State teams placed sixth last season at the Big 12 Indoor Championships at the Lied Recreation Center in Ames, Iowa. The tournament will start on Friday, Feb. 23, and go through Saturday.
tiple injuries to her back, arm and specifically her elbow. In the crash, Crismas’ elbow became embedded with hundreds of glass shards that damaged skin, muscle tissues and nerve endings in the area. Crismas said she has endured muscle spasms and limited control of her left hand and arm due to the damage from the glass. She said her doctors prescribed her two medications for pain and two muscle relaxers to help with the spasms and loss of control in her arm. “Last Saturday I sucked down nine pain pills and a couple muscle relaxers, and I was still in bed,” Crismas said. Crismas said she has begun using lotion infused with CBD oils to help with the spasms and pain in her arm. “I’ve got more use and more control thanks to that guy out of
my elbow and this hand than I have ever been,” Crismas said. She said she has also begun using ingestable CBD supplements to help with the pain from her other injuries. CBD and hemp products could be a great start back into the medical marijuana and industrial hemp industry in Kansas, but it is only one step in the bigger picture, Rippel said. Rippel compared CBD products to extracting vitamin C from oranges to treat scurvy. Rippel said CBD treats symptoms; it is medical marijuana that genuinely makes a difference in the lives of individuals diagnosed with chronic pain, epilepsy, cerebral palsy and other ailments. Kansas’ long-standing agricultural tradition has an opportunity to expand into a new, feasible industry, if the legislature will allow it.
