K-State’s enrollment continues to drop for sixth consecutive spring semester, registrar’s office reports

RAFAEL GARCIA THE COLLEGIAN

For the sixth consecutive year, spring enrollment at Kansas State dropped, according to numbers released online by the registrar’s office. Across K-State’s campuses statewide, the university reported an undergraduate and graduate headcount of 20,799 total students, compared to the same statistic of 21,400 last year. That’s a drop of 601 students, or a 2.8 percent decrease. Full-time equivalency, another measure used by the university and the Kansas Board of Regents that divides total undergraduate credit hours by 15 credit hours and total graduate credit hours by 12 credit hours, also fell from 18,881 FTE last year to 17,613 FTE this year, or a drop of 1,268 and 6.72 percent decrease. Provost Charles Taber said although enrollment has continued to decline, it’s important to put the figures in context. “First, it is important to understand that spring numbers are always down from the fall numbers,” Taber said by email. “We continue to be affect-

ed by the smaller entering classes from the past several years as those classes move through the system. The spring numbers were predicted. Longer term, we are working to increase the number of entering freshman, transfers, graduate and non-traditional students across all campuses.” At K-State’s Manhattan campus, the undergraduate headcount fell from 15,615 students to 14,954 (decrease of 661 students, or -4.23 percent), compared to the graduate headcount, which saw a more modest decrease of 20 students from 2,397 last year to 2,377 this year (-0.83 percent). Undergraduate enrollment at the College of Veterinary Medicine, counted separately in K-State’s figures, grew by four students from 454 last year to 458 this year. The hardest hit college was the College of Arts and Sciences, which saw a decrease of 330 students across its undergraduate and graduate headcount numbers to 4,968 this spring (6.2 percent decrease). Only the College of Architecture, Planning and Design saw an increase — 22 students to a total undergraduate and graduate headcount of 672. Across

the state, high school students have weighed options other than college more heavily, and increasing college tuition has been a factor in some high school students’ decisions to not go on to college. In February, President Richard Myers told the Rotary Club of Topeka that with decreasing state aid, state universities, including K-State, have had to rely more on increased tuition to fund university operations, the Topeka Capital-Journal reported. He said universities are risking pricing out students. In late 2017, K-State announced it had hired Huron Consulting Services LLC to help craft a new approach for K-State to take toward enrollment, and in his 2018 State of the University address, President Richard Myers announced that the university and the consulting agency had completed a comprehensive enrollment strategy. “Huron Consulting has been advising us for the past year and we are implementing many important changes in the strategic enrollment project, based on data, analysis and experience that they bring,” Taber said. “Changing enrollment numbers at a large university is a slow

process and it will take time for these new approaches to have the significant impact that we expect.” In reflecting on the spring figures, Taber said there are a few areas of concern to the university. “We are concerned about the downturn in in-state high school graduates going on to college,” Taber said. “We are concerned about the drop in transfer students, and the drop in international students. We also continue to work on recruiting students from under-represented groups.” On the other hand, there have been a few bright areas in the enrollment numbers for K-State, Taber said. “We are seeing promising increases in out of state applications and are working to bring those applicants to K-State,” Taber said. “It is also important to understand that our success in improving graduation rates is a significant success, though it contributes to the drop in enrollment we have been seeing. These student success improvements will make us more competitive for new students.” A full list of the K-State enrollment statistics is available at k-state. edu/registrar/ statistics/tabs/

CORRECTIONS

In the article published in the Feb. 27 issue of the Collegian, “Engineering tuition committee votes down fee increase,” the article incorrectly stated a fee was passed by the Kansas Board of Regents against a student vote in 2017. While the fee was brought to the board in May 2017, it was removed from the June agenda and did not pass. The Collegian regrets the error.

Student Access Center emphasizes residence hall accessibility EMMA WITTER

THE COLLEGIAN

Accessibility to a comfortable and accessible living situation should be the standard, not a luxury, for all students on Kansas State University’s campus, said Jason Maseberg-Tomlinson, director of the Student Access Center. While many students are able to walk up the front stairs to their residence hall, some students with disabilities and injuries don’t have this freedom. M a s e b e r g - To m l i n s o n said the Student Access Center places an emphasis on working with these students in addition to following all federal requirements that go into building residential spaces. To determine the best living situation for a student with a disability, Maseberg-Tomlinson said “it’s a very interactive process where we work with the individual directly to make sure we understand all the nuances of their needs.” As circumstances like injuries come up for students during the year, the Student Access Center responds

quickly to student concerns about necessary accommodations, he said. Jyvon Piper-Flowers, sophomore in computer science, fractured his fibula last semester in a longboarding accident. While he had some problems navigating Moore Hall on crutches, he said the Student Access Center was helpful in getting him adjusted and providing rides to and from class. “It was pretty tough,” Piper-Flowers said. “It’s a pretty long distance from my room to the Derb, especially on crutches, so it was pretty tiring.” The Derby Dining Center is elevator accessible, so while Piper-Flowers said he didn’t always feel up for the trek, he could make it to eat meals with his floor when he wanted to. M a s e b e r g - To m l i n s o n said he is confident that all residence halls at K-State provide opportunities for students with disabilities and injuries to live and get around comfortably. “I think it would be quite surprising for folks to realize how accommodating all of the residence halls can be, including Jardine,”

Maseberg-Tomlinson said. He said K-State recognizes that living experiences are different for each student. From wheelchair accessibility, to alert systems for the hearing or visually impaired, Maseberg-Tomlinson said the Student Access Center has talented staff who go into the residence halls and make changes as needed. Nicholas Lander, associate director of Housing and Dining Services, said accessibility is a high priority as new buildings continue to pop up on campus. “With Wefald being a brand new building, it’s going to have the most modern accessibility you can have,” Lander said. “But our hope is that we have accessible options everywhere so that students don’t necessarily have to live in a specific location.” Lander said that while campus is generally very accessible, there are some exceptions. The Smurthwaite Scholarship and Leadership House and the Honors House are the only two residential buildings on campus without elevators, essentially excluding students with various physical disabilities.

Melanie White | COLLEGIAN MEDIA GROUP

The main entrance of Marlatt hall features handicap-accessible doors that include ramps. Many freshman at K-State live in the dorms their first year— that brings new challenges for disabled students. M a s e b e r g - To m l i n s o n said that while some buildings do pose challenges for students with disabilities, his hope is to provide equal access to education and resources to all students.

Students eager for The Dusty Bookshelf reopening RACHEL BROWNE THE COLLEGIAN

With the closing of Hale Library, students across the Kansas State campus were eager to hear of The Dusty Bookshelf ’s spring revival, hoping it could serve as a potential study location. A fire on March 2, 2017 left the Aggieville bookstore smoky, charred and with about $822,000 in damages. The store announced in a Facebook post on Tuesday that the store will reopen this spring. “I would definitely be looking for study space,” Cassidy Anderson, senior in agribusiness, said. “I graduate in May, but I

also run an online business, so just a place to work would be great.” Anderson said she likes to get out of the house for a change in environment. “It’s sad that the library is not open because I feel like there isn’t really a secluded place to study,” Anderson said. Although many desire a location to concentrate and work, some students long for a place to unwind from their studies. “I actually love going into like Barnes & Noble and just chilling out and reading books, so I think it will be really beneficial because there will be somewhere off campus students can go to,” Lauren Harris, freshman in athletic training, said.

For Gabby Bond, junior in family consumer science and education, The Dusty Bookshelf holds sentimental value. “I grew up here in Manhattan, and my dad would go rent books and read there, so it’s like a family thing,” Bond said. “We were all really sad when it burned down. As a townie, my family really wanted it to come back.” Paige Gumpenberger, senior in social work, said the bookstore actually motivated her decision to come to K-State. “Let me set the scene: fall of 2014, walking around K-State, thinking it’s cool and all, but nothing special,” Gumpenberger said. “I decide to eat lunch in Aggieville, walk past a store and notice

a cat in the window. Completely shocked, I walk in and am told this store has a normal cat that you can pet. I immediately decided that this was the school for me. I mean, how could it not be if it had a bookstore with a cat?” The news of the fire completely devastated Gumpenberger, she said, but the bookstore’s reopening has her blazing with glee. “Now my senior year, the pain of the store burning down has finally went away and they’re opening again before I graduate,” Gumpenberger said. “This is basically a romance novel because our lost love has been returned. What a way to finish my time here.”

continues to grow, Lander said accessibility remains important for both students and the administration that supports them. “Continuing to modernize as we continue to add and renovate new buildings is

definitely a priority,” Lander said. Students with disabilities or injuries can reach out to the Student Access Center online or by phone at 785532-6441 to work toward getting their needs met.

K-STATE OPINION: No need to worry about Big 12 title NATHAN ENSERRO THE COLLEGIAN

The buzzer sounded mercifully in Allen Fieldhouse after Kansas State was pounded by in-state rival Kansas 64-49 on Monday. For some K-State fans, panic set in about their chances to win a Big 12 title. That panic is unnecessary. The panic made sense. Kansas, who has won 14-straight Big 12 Championships, had appeared dead in the water after getting routed by Texas Tech the previous Saturday. K-State, on the other hand, had a two-game lead over their biggest rival coming into Monday’s game.

After the 15-point loss, K-State’s lead on Kansas dropped to just one game with three to play. Texas Tech would tie K-State at 11-4 with a win Wednesday night. In 2013, K-State and KU were neck-and-neck down the stretch and each won six of their last seven games to tie for the conference championship. They both lost on the road to finish out the season tied at 14-4. This time around, K-State has an opportunity to end Kansas’ streak and win the Big 12 outright. All they have to do is win out. Let’s break down the three teams’ final schedules. K-State plays Baylor on Saturday, then Monday night

at TCU and finally a Senior Day date with Oklahoma. It’s simple: if the Wildcats win out, they win at least a share of the Big 12 and will end Kansas’ streak. The toughest of those games is Baylor because of the emotional implications of the games that surrounds it. On paper, K-State should have the most trouble on the road against TCU, though. No one in the Big 12 has been better on the road this season, and K-State is very capable of defending their home court. K-State is certainly capable of winning out and winning the Big 12. Texas Tech is tied with K-State at the top. They have the roughest end-ofseason stretch. They travel to

TCU Saturday, turn around and play Texas at home and then head to Ames, Iowa, to play Iowa State on the final Saturday of the season. They have won six in a row and are the hottest team in the Big 12 right now, but those two road tests are very tough games. The Red Raiders will struggle to win out, so they will need K-State to drop a game to get a share. Kansas sits one game back of K-State and Texas Tech. They have the easiest finish to the season of the three competitors. The Jayhawks will travel to Oklahoma State on Saturday, then they play a road game at Oklahoma on Tuesday and finish their season at home against fellow third-place team Baylor. I recognize that the Big 12 is a chaotic conference and any team can win any night, but there is no reason to panic just yet for K-State fans. The Wildcats are still in the driver’s seat. Buckle up, it should be a wild finish.

K-STATE Trainers keep athletes healthy, ready to perform MARGARET KOHLRUS THE COLLEGIAN

Senior guard Kayla Goth, sophomore guard Rachel Ranke and junior forward Peyton Williams are three recognizable names from Kansas State’s women’s basketball team. A name that many may not be as familiar with is women’s bas-

ketball athletic trainer, Becca Fitzgerald. Fitzgerald received her undergraduate degree at Kansas University. Before coming to K-State, she was a trainer for the track, football and basketball programs at Ball State University and KU. Now, Fitzgerald works side by side with the women’s strength coach, AJ Kloss. To-

gether they decide what treatments and warmups are needed before each day of practice based on the team’s improvements and injuries. Kloss works to build up strength and muscles while Fitzgerald focuses on rehab. “You hate to have injuries but they’re inevitable,” Fitzgerald said. “We focus on a lot of exercises every day to help pre-

vent the now instead of fixing the future.” The women’s basketball team has staff behind them all year to help them achieve success and battle through hard times. Rehab, strength training and nutrition are all used to keep the team strong. “I get to help young people and hopefully make them a better person for the rest of their lives,” Fitzgerald said. The days are not always easy, especially when the main focus is on rehab. “It all depends on the day,” Fitzgerald said. “Sometimes it is how they feel, their attitudes, practice changes or coaches

expectations. It changes every year.” Fitzgerald is proactive in helping lead K-State’s women’s team to limit injuries and working behind the scenes. “I’m still pretty young compared to a lot of athletic trainers but the type of athlete has changed a lot since I’ve started,” Fitzgerald said. “You have to change how you look at things and how you interact. Especially with this generation.” Williams noted the difference in access to athletic trainers from high school to college. “In high school, we didn’t have access to the same training and benefits,” Williams said.

Now with access to a strength coach, nutritionist, and help from Fitzgerald, Williams is proactive in preventing injuries and has a trainer to help recover instead of working on her own. Fitzgerald’s impact does not end with the women’s team, but extends to students as well. Samantha Clark, junior in kinesiology, is an athletic training student getting hands-on experience with K-State’s athletic program.

K-State sophomore to show collection at Kansas City Fashion Week REBECCA VRBAS THE COLLEGIAN

Jaxson Metzler, sophomore in apparel and textiles, is no stranger to the spotlight. When Metzler was a student at Minneapolis High School in Minneapolis, Kansas, he was selected to be on “Project Runway: Junior.” Now, Metzler is set to take his designing talent to Kansas City. He will present his collection titled L’Inverno at Kansas City Fashion Week on March 27. Metzler said he has known

he wanted to go into fashion design and production since he fell in love with “Project Runway” as a kid. He learned the basics of sewing from his grandmother, honed his skills through 4-H Club and went on to compete in Family, Careers and Community Leaders of America fashion design and recycle and redesign contests in high school. After an arduous selection process, Metzler was chosen for “Project Runway: Junior.” He said the show was an amazing experience that helped get his

name out there and learn to be more competitive. When Metzler was looking into college, he toured different schools to see where he wanted to take his fashion talent. What set Kansas State University apart for him was the strong connection between teachers and students, he said. “I just fell in love with K-State,” Metzler said. “All those other schools, yeah they’re great. But what K-State has over those other school is just the atmosphere and the student to teacher connection. From

that short tour, and the talk I had with some faculty, I got a better connection than what I had with anyone else.” Metzler said the abundance of sporting events was also a plus, as he was involved in wrestling, cross country and track in high school. In addition to working on his collection and attending class, Metzler works at the costume shop for the theatre department in the School of Music, Theatre, and Dance. His is also a member of the Ahearn Fund’s hospitality staff.

Metzler has been working on his L’Inverno collection since December. He said his inspiration is making people feel confident, leading him to create women’s clothing for all shapes and sizes. “I feel like if you can wear something you feel confident in, you can go out and just be a total boss and win,” Metzler said. “I think that’s a fundamental key of just life, is to be confident in yourself so you can be successful in life.” L’Inverno includes 10 looks inspired by Italian composer Antonio Vivaldi’s “The Four Seasons,” specifically the “Winter” concerto. “Jaxson has the ability to go through the design thinking process in a way that starts with an inspiration, and then he can turn it into something abstract that fits his vision.” said Genna Reeves, assistant professor of

apparel and textiles. “He has a really great way of finding inspiration and then making it his own, and that’s one of the things we’ll see in this collection.” Metzler’s collection will debut at Kansas City Fashion Week at the Grand Hall in the Power and Light District. “I think that Jaxson is a perfect candidate for this opportunity because he has such a positive attitude about the design process and he adds so much cheer and joy to the process … I’m really excited to see what he is going to do because you can always see the passion come through in his work,” Reeves said. “When you finish your project and you see someone wearing it, it’s just so inspiring ... That someone’s wearing your work, and that’s what I like about fashion,” Metzler said.

“Surprisingly, my favorite memories are all of the small stuff,” Clark said. “Getting to work with athletes one-on-one during daily treatments and see them progress and get better from an injury builds such

a cool connection.” Clark and Fitzgerald both expressed that when working alongside the athletes they are paired with, not only do they see them in the aspect of athletic training and their injury but also who they are as individuals.

“We have a big Canadian air mass that’s going to be moving down across the plains,” Gargan said. The cold front will move in today, Gargan said, and the bulk of the cold air will come later this weekend, affecting temperatures during Fake Patty’s Day celebrations.

The weather service forecasts daytime temperatures reaching into the low 20s with snow blowing in over the course of the evening. Saturday night temperatures might drop to single digits with a stronger chance for precipitation. Spring break is closing in on students,
