Less rule-breaking allows Konza Prairie to remain open BROOKE HAAS

THE COLLEGIAN

Nice weather means more time out and about, especially at the Konza Prairie, a popular biological station that features a hiking trail on the outskirts of Manhattan. With the warmer March weather, people will spend more time outside of their home. Last year, rules were broken at the prairie, said John Briggs, professor of biology at Kansas State and director of the Konza Prairie Biological Station. One of the rules at the Konza is that no dogs are allowed. “The main problems we had were a large number of individuals that were bringing their dogs out to Konza Prairie, which is very strictly prohibited,” Briggs said. Briggs said he is a dog lover and continually wishes he could bring his dog out to the Konza with him. An additional complication is there are limited facilities at the Konza that have a place to throw away trash, Briggs said, which can create a littering problem. He said many people brought their trash out to the Konza and weren’t responsible about cleaning it up. Other issues that arose were individuals not staying on the clearly-marked gravel nature trails. There are multiple signs that say to stay on the trails, and many hikers were wandering off those trails. “Konza Prairie is a research area, and if people wander off the trail, they might interfere with the research that’s going on and actually disrupt and mess up an experiment,” Briggs said. Another issue Briggs saw last year was people wandering off into Kings Creek, which is also a research experiment at the Konza. “By playing and going into that stream, they can also disrupt some measurements,” Briggs said.

A POSITIVE CHANGE

Although people weren’t respecting the rules last year, Briggs said he has seen a positive change with the residents of Manhattan taking better care of the prairie and it’s trails. Briggs said there are still a few people who are not obeying the rules, and he has received notifications he was not wanting to hear. “I received a few notifications that there were some dogs still on the trail, and we had one instance where someone was actually smoking on the trail which seems kind of trivial,” Briggs said. “Remember, it is a grassland site and you know we could get a fire in there that again impacts the research. And then we again had some people off the trail. It’s not quite as bad but we have taken some steps since last year, and I think that helped a little bit.”

MONITORING THE KONZA

Only two staff members work at the Konza, and they are not on site full-time on the weekends. Briggs’ phone number is on their website for visitors to call him with any concerns and about what is happening on the trail.

Briggs’ team is taking precautions to keep the Konza a happy and safe place for everyone to enjoy. To help out, volunteers have gone out to the trails and kept him updated about what is happening. The area is also patrolled by the K-State Police Department. Rules are rules and they are clearly posted and are simple to follow, Briggs said. “Again, we are only talking about 5-10 percent of the people who are doing that, but it only takes a couple to do that,” Briggs said. “The biggest thing people have to realize that this is private land.”

OWNERSHIP

Residents of Manhattan often don’t know who owns the prairie, but it is private land and is owned by the Nature Conservancy. Briggs has the power to shut down the research projects any time he chooses. “That’s the last thing I want to do, I want to keep it open because I think people can go out there and experience the prairie and hopefully learn a little bit more about our research program we have out there,” Briggs said. “The bottom line is people can go on the webpage and see the

rules. We have them clearly posted out at the site, and there’s a big sign that says ‘No Dogs’ right at the beginning.” Briggs said he is afraid to predict the future of the Konza, but he is taking new actions so that it will stay open to the public. He said he hopes to put up more signs, and there’s a possibility of monitoring cameras that will be put up around the trails to get a better handle on what is happening. “We’re doing our best to keep it open, but being our very last resort if we had to close it, but it really depends on how people treat it,” Briggs said. “It is a privilege to walk out there. It’s nobody’s right, and we will leave it open as long as we can.”

EDUCATION, RESEARCH

Jill Haukos, director of education of the Konza Environmental Education Program, said her knowledge and understanding of the Konza is helping the general public gain a broader knowledge of more than just the pretty scenery. Haukos is in charge of the educational program and said the program has a distinct mission. “The mission of our pro-

gram is to bring area school children to tallgrass prairie to learn about this amazing endangered ecosystem and to develop both an appreciation and a sense of pride about this area,” Huakos said. Haukos said she hopes to “instill a sense of pride” for the Flint Hills. “The research station is located here because it is in the highly-endangered tallgrass prairie and is near the university,” Haukos said. “It is an amazing site where ecologists from all over the world can visit and learn how this type of prairie responds to environmental changes. We all feel that the public benefits from having access to a pristine tallgrass prairie where they could learn more about its ecology and learn to appreciate the amazing beauty of the area.” She said she wants to educate the public on the complex system of the prairie and hopes the public sees more than just the hills of the tallgrass prairie. “It is a privilege for the public to have access to the nature trail at Konza Prairie,” Haukos said. “We don’t have to have this area open at all, but we can see the benefits from the community appreciating the prairie. Simply, when people visit, they should be aware of the site rules and

respect them. If we see the trail being harmed or disrespected by the visitors, we will be forced to make hard decisions. What we’re trying to do is ask the public to not force our hand on this.” Haukos said she hopes the public will take a stand for the nature trails and enforce the rules if they see others breaking them. “Knowledge is power,” Haukos said. “It’s private, it’s a privilege, it’s a nature preserve, research is important, be respectful or you’ll lose it.” For students who sometimes need a break away from the stresses of college life, the Konza is a perfect place to go, said Kealey Dwyer, sophomore in animal sciences and industry. “It’s a place where you can go get away from stress, from school and just relax,” Dwyer said. “It’s one of those things that Manhattan is known for, and it would be a shame to see that taken away.” Kids will be kids, Dwyer said, breaking rules from time to time, but breaking the rules of privately-owned ground and ruining the beauty of the Konza is saddening to her. “In some ways it makes me mad, because in doing this they have the potential to take something away from others that have done nothing wrong,” Dwyer said.

Student committee votes to keep current level of agriculture, architecture fees

KAITLYN ALANIS THE COLLEGIAN

The Kansas State Tuition and Fees Strategies Committee unanimously voted Tuesday evening to continue the current College of Agriculture’s $20 per-credithour fee and the College of Architecture, Planning and Design’s $40 per-credit-hour fee. The College of Agriculture’s fee is to “maintain the high quality of education that students receive in the College of Agriculture” through room upgrades and more laboratory, hands-on experiences and graduate assistants. The College of Architecture, Planning and Design uses their student fees for new technology and equipment, design-laboratory chairs and desks and the salaries of the coordinator and computer shop technologists. The fees already exist, but all colleges are required to give a fee-review presentation to the committee every three years.

OPINION: Fox ‘News’ spreads lies CALEB SNIDER & KYLER JACKSON THE COLLEGIAN

On Feb. 18 at a rally in Melbourne, Florida, Trump falsely stated that crime was rising in Sweden because their country was accepting a large number of refugees. After drawing questions and criticism from the Swedish government, Trump tweeted the following day, “My statement as to what’s happening in Sweden was in reference to a story that was broadcast on @FoxNews concerning immigrants & Sweden.” Fox’s response to this? To double-down on the false claims they and President Trump made. On Feb. 23, Bill O’Reilly, host of “The O’Reilly Factor,” had a special guest, Nils Bildt, who was introduced on-screen as a “Swedish defense and national security adviser.” “There is a problem with crime, (and) there is a problem with areas or hotspots of crime (in Sweden),” Bildt said while on “The O’Reilly Factor.” Bildt said the reason no one has heard about this is because “if you don’t agree with the liberal ... common agenda, then you are viewed as an outsider or not even taken seriously.” The problem with all of this: the Swedish Armed Forces does not even know who this man is. Dagens Nyheter, a Swedish newspaper, said that Nils Bildt, formerly Nils Tolling, emigrated from Sweden in 1994 and had actually been convicted of a felony in 2014 “for assaulting a law enforcement person and for obstruction of justice, after threatening an official.” So, we have a “news” organization, one of few that happens to be fervently loved by President Trump, bringing on a convicted felon to impersonate a foreign dignitary. All in order to further push a false narrative so that Trump seems correct. This recent scandal is just one of many examples of why Fox “News” is not news. Rather, they are a propaganda machine.

This isn’t just liberals attacking Fox because they are conservative. We agree that every viewpoint should be heard, and there are reliable, well-known, conservative-leaning news organizations that often do fantastic journalistic work. But, Fox is different from these legitimate news organizations. The definition of propaganda is “information, especially of a biased or misleading nature, used to promote or publicize a particular political cause or point of view.” Fox “News” perfectly embodies all of this, and we’ll explain why.

PROPAGANDA MACHINE

Fox separates itself by the means in which they tell stories — using fear and spreading patently false lies — and the degree to which they push an extreme right agenda. Going so far as to label people “un-American” and “bad Americans” for holding opposing beliefs. The first aspect of propaganda is

spreading “information ... of a biased or misleading nature.” A great example of this with Fox is how the issue of climate change is discussed. According to an article from The International Journal of Press/Politics, Fox “News” takes a dismissive tone toward climate change and frequently interviews a larger number of climate-change skeptics. This makes the viewers more inclined to believe that climate change is not man-made and not as urgent of an issue, compared to viewers of CNN, MSNBC, etc. Another 2010 study researched Fox viewers and found they were more likely to believe falsehoods like the economy was getting worse, most Republicans were opposed to TARP and even the continued lie that former President Barack Obama was not born in the U.S. Now, let’s turn to the definition of propaganda as a means to “promote or publicize a particular political cause

CLASSIFIEDS 785.370.6355 | kstatecollegian.com

or point of view.” Again, Fox “News” wholly embodies this. In a 2016 study published by Stanford, titled “Bias in Cable News: Persuasion and Polarization,” Gregory J. Martin and Ali Yurukoglu estimated that “Fox News’” ideology has been moving further to the right in most recent years, and this is well documented. After the 2012 election, a political scientist from Columbia University said “one of the reasons Mitt Romney was so unable to pivot back to the center was due to the drumbeat at Fox ... even after the primary season, when Fox became a big supporter for Romney, the rift between official editorial position and the political feelings of Fox viewers and hosts was clear.” Fox as a whole is one of the largest and most effective architects of Republican talking points. The leaders of the party don’t create the talking points, they just repeat them. We’ve seen this occur over the years as Fox fueled the Tea Party movement, leaders of which adopted talking points made on shows like “The Sean Hannity Show” and “The O’Reilly Factor.” But, it can be seen even more clearly now with President Trump, who has directly quoted Fox statements in his tweets and repeatedly states he gets his information from Fox. Again, there are many conservative news organizations that do great journalistic work — The National Review, The Wall Street Journal and Real Clear Politics, just to name a few — but Fox has proved they cannot be taken as a legitimate news organization, as 59 percent of statements made on the network are varying degrees of falsity.

The good, the bad and the

It’s a western movie starring Clint Eastwood and featuring an iconic song. It also describes John Currie’s time as athletic director at Kansas State. Currie came to K-State in 2009, and he left Tuesday for Tennessee.

THE GOOD

Making money is not a bad thing. Even for a 501(c)(3) nonprofit corporation like K-State Athletics, revenue must exceed expenses. Audited financial statements from June 30, 2016, show K-State Athletics’ revenue was $85.7 million and expenses were $75.7 million. A $10 million net revenue shows Currie knows how to balance a budget, which is something politicians in Topeka,

John Currie looks up at the scoreboard during the last half of the game against Texas Tech on Nov. 14, 2015, at Jones AT&T Stadium in Lubbock, Texas. Kansas, and Washington, D.C., haven’t figured out. (Yes, I intentionally compared Currie to politicians. He was one of the most powerful people at K-State. He became the first athletic director to sit on

a presidential search committee. I think he enjoyed his power.) The fact that Currie made Athletics profitable without any tax money whatsoever is even more impressive. Only a handful of university athletic departments across the country receive no tax dollars, and K-State’s is one of them. Half a million dollars does come from student fees, but that number will decrease to $200,000 over the next three years, based on an October 2015 arrangement between Athletics and the Student Governing Association. The money is spent exclusively on student-employee wages. Along with his wise stewardship of money, Currie made financial transparency a priority. K-State Athletics makes more financial information available in a more user-friendly way than any other athletic department in the Big 12 Conference. Adding a women’s soccer

The Kansas State men’s basketball team has lost eight out of its last 10 games, are not currently projected as an NCAA Tourna-

ment team and are coming off a 30-point loss to last-place Oklahoma. Things are not going well for the Wildcats. Despite the struggles, K-State players — especially the two seniors — said they have re-

mained positive throughout and are focused on staying together as a team to achieve their ultimate goal of an NCAA Tournament birth. “The NCAA Tournament is definitely still a factor for us,” senior forward Wesley Iwundu said. “A lot of good things can happen if we win these last two games and even do something in the conference tournament. We’re just playing for each other, we’re playing for K-State, we wear it on the front of our jerseys. We just want to come out here and protect each other and do what we can to help each other out.” Senior forward D.J. Johnson said the team has been working hard since this summer: “I think more than anything we’re playing for each other.”

team was a good move, but as you will read later, the good of adding women’s soccer came only at the cost of the bad.

THE BAD

Remember equestrian? The sport with horses at a university known for its agricultural roots, in which K-State was consistently ranked in the top 10? Women’s soccer replaced it. The passionate emotions surrounding the issue were directed at Currie, much of it for his lack of communication. Cutting equestrian came after the NCAA Committee on Women’s Athletics recommended universities re-examine the sport due to a shortage of sponsorships for equestrian at all three levels of NCAA competition. The NCAA considered dropping equestrian as a sponsored sport, which would have forced K-State to replace equestrian. By the time the NCAA announced it would keep

equestrian, K-State had already decided to replace it with women’s soccer. Once the NCAA kept equestrian, K-State could have, too. Because of NCAA bylaws and Title IX requirement, K-State must have a minimum of 16 varsity sports and an equal number of male and female ones. Keeping equestrian while adding women’s soccer would have meant K-State had to add a men’s sport. Men’s soccer would have fit perfectly. In a conversation with Collegian staff, I once asked Currie why he didn’t keep equestrian and add men’s and women’s soccer. He said the base yearly cost of an additional sport is $1-2 million. Equestrian’s is much higher. There is also the startup cost for a new program. But, as we established already, K-State’s profit could easily absorb that cost. The firing of Deb Patterson in 2014 after an 11-19 season

upset many K-State fans. She was the all-time winningest coach in K-State women’s basketball history during her 18 seasons. The even blacker mark from Patterson’s firing was K-State’s refusal to allow women’s basketball player Leticia Romero to transfer. Romero, who was from Spain, was recruited by Patterson. After Patterson was fired, Romero wanted to transfer. K-State rightfully earned negative national attention when they allowed former K-State football player Daniel Sams to transfer, but not Romero.

THE UGLY

Sportsmanship. It’s a word K-State fans don’t know, or that’s what Currie’s actions would have you believe.

K-State basketball roundtable: Is Bruce Weber toast? The Kansas State men’s basketball team has struggled throughout the stretch of the season. Was Saturday’s blowout loss to last-place Oklahoma the nail in Bruce Weber’s coffin? The Collegian’s sports editor Scott Popp, writers Brett Engle and Ryan Porter and editor-in-chief Jason Tidd share their thoughts on if Weber should be relieved of his duties.

Do you think Bruce Weber should be fired when the season ends, and do you think he actually will be fired? Scott: The team has consistently gotten worse since Weber took over the helm. While I like the guy and I don’t think he should get the amount of hate from K-State fans that he has gotten recently, I do think he should be fired. If K-State wants to consistently compete at a high level, Weber needs to go; he has proven his teams can’t consistently win the games they

should. Unless K-State wins out and wins at least a game or two in the Big 12 Tournament, I think the Cats will miss the NCAA Tournament, and Weber will be fired. John Currie leaving his post as athletic director also does not help Weber’s cause. Brett: I think that it’s very simple what determines if Weber gets fired or not. If the Wildcats make the tournament, he stays. If not, he doesn’t. The entire K-State fan base expects success at the highest level, and since Weber has been here we haven’t done that. The last few games this season will definitely determine Weber’s fate. Looking at it now, I would have to say K-State will miss out on the tournament and end Weber’s time at Kansas State. Even if the Wildcats win their final two regular season games but drop the first game in the Big 12 Tournament, they still could be on the outside looking in. I

also think winning today’s game against TCU would have a great chance of getting them in, but Kansas State has been ice cold lately. I’d love to see the Wildcats in the NCAA Tournament, but I wouldn’t put any money on it or on Weber at this point. Ryan: Weber had a great start to this season, there is no denying that. It seems though the lack of ability to finish a game has angered many K-State fans. I think it is time for K-State to move on with a new coach, especially with the young talent we’ve seen from the Wildcats. Ultimately, Weber will be done at the end of the season. He has been blamed for some of the losses endured this season, although the inability of K-State players to make free throws did not help his case for staying. Jason: I want nothing more than for K-State men’s basketball to win the Big 12

Tournament, beating KU in their backyard in Kansas City in the process and guaranteeing them a spot in the NCAA Tournament. I also want a million dollars, a 4.0 GPA and a regular sleep schedule. None of those are going to happen.

Last year, while in the pep band at the men’s Big 12 Tournament, an Oklahoma State fan told me “thank you” for beating them so they could get a new coach. I would never cheer for my team to lose. I don’t know how any Wildcat fan could cheer

for K-State to lose. But I think that Oklahoma State fan had a point. I want Weber to succeed; I want K-State men’s basketball to succeed. But the loss to Oklahoma killed what hope I had left of Weber turning around this team. Weber’s time is up.

Potential candidates to replace men’s basketball head coach position BRETT ENGLE

that would prevent Underwood from coming home would be the $6 million buyout in his contract.

After a crushing 30-point loss at the hands of Oklahoma, it appears the Kansas State Wildcats men’s basketball team is on the outside looking in on the NCAA Tournament. If the Wildcats do miss out on the tournament, Bruce Weber will likely be out of a job at Kansas State, leaving much debate on who will replace him. Let’s take a look at some possible replacements.

STEVE HENSON

THE COLLEGIAN

BRAD UNDERWOOD

In his first year as head coach at Oklahoma State, Brad Underwood has the Cowboys on a roll. Underwood has guided the team to a 20-9 record this far, but has won 10 of their last 11 games. He is the clear fan favorite to replace Weber if an opening occurs, as many were calling

File Photo by Parker Robb | THE COLLEGIAN

Head coach Bruce Weber draws out a play on the whiteboard for his team in the second half of the game against the Longhorns on Feb. 7, 2015, in Bramlage Coliseum. for his name last year when Underwood was having success at Stephen F. Austin. Underwood has many ties to K-State. He grew up in McPher-

son, Kansas, and played for the Wildcats from 1984-1986. He also served as an assistant coach at K-State from 2006-2012. One of the big problems

Underwood isn’t the only — or the last — candidate who has K-State ties. After emerging as one of Lon Kruger’s top assistants at Oklahoma, Henson earned himself a head coaching job at UTSA. Like Underwood, Henson reigns from McPherson. He played for the Wildcats from 1986-1990 and is the all-time assist leader at K-State. The Roadrunners’ record isn’t too impressive, just 11-14 thus far, but Henson has showed great potential in his first head coaching job and would expect the Wildcat fan base to welcome him back with open arms.

TIM JANKOVICH

This is the last former Kan-

sas State player on the list, but regardless, Jankovich deserves to be on it. After taking over for Larry Brown, Jankovich has a 34-4 record at SMU. He has also served as head coach at North Texas and Illinois State during his coaching career that started in 1983. Jankovich played for the Wildcats from 1979-1982 where he had a decorated career, being in the top 10 in nine different categories.

MARK FOX

From Garden City, Kansas, Fox could look to return closer to home. Since 2004, Fox has been the head coach at Nevada and currently Georgia. In his career, Fox has a 62.7 percent winning percentage. Fox is familiar with Manhattan, as he served as an assistant coach from 1994-2000.

While Fox hasn’t quite had the success he had at Nevada, Fox has led Georgia to 20 or more wins four times, including five seasons at .500 or better in conference play.

DOUG GOTTLIEB

Let’s throw Gottlieb’s name in the conversation, because why not? The last time Kansas State had a head coaching vacancy, Gottlieb’s name was tossed in the hat. Without any coaching experience, many questioned why Gottlieb was even considered. Gottlieb is familiar with Kansas State, as he played for Oklahoma State in the ‘90s. Gottlieb’s dad, Bob, was once an assistant at Kansas State and his brother is also coaching. It’s also not like Gottlieb doesn’t stay in touch with the game, as he has been a respected analyst for some time.
