Men’s basketball rallies to beat Baylor in regular season finale, 77-67 DEAUNDRA ALLEN THE COLLEGIAN

For the finale of the regular season, the Kansas State men’s basketball team came into Bramlage Coliseum ready to play on Saturday. The Wildcats dressed in the “lucky lavenders,” put their best foot forward and remembered to dunk accordingly.

The Baylor Bears came on the court hot. They were looking for a win, but it wasn’t enough.

The Wildcats were able to pull away with a win, 77-67, and ended the season with a 21-10 overall record and a 10-8 Big 12 Conference record.

Back in January, K-State and Baylor met for the first time this season, and the Wildcats walked away with a win, 90-83. For the all-time series, K-State led 20-18 overall and 10-8 in Manhattan prior to Saturday’s game.

For the first 10 minutes of the first half, the Wildcats and the Bears were pretty even. The game was close, neck-and-neck and high energy.

In the last five minutes of the first half, K-State shot forward and began scooting ahead. K-State ended the half leading 35-25.

In the first half, the Wildcats shot 15-29 from the field and 3-10 from the 3-point line, while Baylor shot 9-20 from the field and were 2-8 from the 3-point line. The lead changed nine times and was tied up three times.

As the second half began, the Wildcats came in playing hard ball. They were not letting this win get away from them.

Junior guard Amaad Wainright and junior forward Dean Wade got the two major dunks of the game. They slammed the Bears from the start. K-State’s defense was able to successfully contain Baylor and let few plays go through successfully.

During the first ten minutes of the second half, the Wildcats were making big plays and shoving the Bears out of their way to make progress. At the nine-minute mark in the second half, Baylor began to turn things around for themselves.

Baylor went on an 8-0 run in just one minute and were able to expand it to a 10-0 run before sophomore forward Makol Mawien dunked the ball for K-State.

Baylor quickly turned around and made more baskets, making it a five-point game.

There were a lot of missed

Women's basketball falls to Baylor in Big 12 Tournament JULIA JORNS

THE COLLEGIAN

The Kansas State women’s basketball team competed in the Big 12 Tournament this weekend in Kansas City, Missouri, with the Wildcats beating the KU Jayhawks on Friday and falling to the Baylor Bears on Saturday.

Friday’s game against KU saw a K-State victory, 72-63, in the first round of the tournament. This was the third time in four seasons that the Wildcats have advanced through the first round under head coach Jeff Mittie.

K-State went into halftime down by one against KU, but in the second half the Wildcats outscored the Jayhawks 43-33.

K-State scored 26 points in the fourth quarter after being down by eight to pull out the win.

This effort was led by senior forward Kaylee Page, who had 20 points on 7-15 shooting from the field and 5-8 from 3-point range.

Her five shots from beyond the arc ties her for second in program history in a Big 12 Tournament game.

shots during the last eight minutes of the game. This made the win look a little shaky at first because of everything that was at stake, but the Wildcats pulled through.

The environment in Bramlage was loud, and K-State’s standout plays did not go unrecognized. This game was high-octane and showcased some of the best play-making skills the Wildcats could muster before the Big 12 Tournament.

Baylor head coach Scott Drew talked about Saturday being senior day for K-State, but had to talk about standout players first.

“Well, technically it was senior night,” Drew said. “I personally hope this was Dean Wade and Barry Brown’s last game, because those guys are pros. I’ve got nothing but respect for them.”

K-State head coach Bruce Weber talked about Baylor’s improvement since the last time they played them back in January.

“We thought it was going to be a fist fight,” Weber said.

“You’ve got to out-tough them. ...

I thought their zone defense was much better than the first time we played them.”

A main topic during Saturday’s press conference was whether or not Dean Wade should go

into the NBA. Wade was asked if he would assure K-State fans of his return, and all he said was, “We’ll be locked in against TCU.” When Weber talked about Wade, he also talked about the possibility of Wade’s NBA career.

“He’s going to be an NBA player,” Weber said. “Whether it’s this year or the year after, he has a chance.”

Regarding the Big 12 Tournament, Weber said he thinks there is a way the Wildcats can leave their mark in Kansas City, Missouri.

“You finish for sure in the top four,” Weber said. “I’ve got to believe you’re in. But, you can go to Kansas City and put an exclamation point on it.”

K-State will now look forward to the Big 12 Tournament in Kansas City.

Fire evacuates Wefald Hall early Friday morning, no students injured RAFAEL GARCIA THE COLLEGIAN

Rafael Garcia | COLLEGIAN MEDIA GROUP

A fire engine sits outside Wefald Hall early Friday morning. A small fire, which was quickly extinguished, prompted the evacuation of Wefald Hall at about 4:40 a.m. on Friday.

Students in Wefald Hall were abruptly woken up Friday morning after a small fire broke out on the residence hall's fourth floor.

According to the Manhattan Fire Department, the cause of the fire was accidental due to a "faulty fan."

Witnesses say the fire occurred at about 4:40 a.m. The fire was quickly extinguished by the residence hall's fire suppression system, the K-State

Police Department said.

Pat Bosco, vice president of student life, was on the scene by 7:00 a.m.

“Our housing staff and our students are absolutely remarkable,” Bosco said. “We are fortunate to have a quick evacuation and no injuries.”

During the emergency response, a K-State Police Department safety officer received minor injuries after slipping during an investigation of the scene, according to K-State's Division of Communications and Marketing.

Students, who had evacu-

ated to nearby residence halls and Kramer Dining Center, were allowed back into Wefald at about 7:30 a.m.

"About 6:15, they opened the Kramer dining center early so they we could get cereal and drinks," Payton Best, freshman in civil engineering and Wefald Hall resident, said. "They brought in staff early to start breakfast for all of us."

Witnesses said water soaked through the ceiling on the main floor's lobby, and on the fourth floor, parts of the floor were soaked with water as well from the sprinkler system.

According to the Manhattan Fire Department, the fire caused an estimated $3,500 loss to contents and $5,000 in damages to structure. Approximately 24 students have been relocated as a result of the water damage.

Denison Avenue between Claflin Avenue and Platt Street was briefly closed Friday morning to accommodate first responders, but was reopened in time for the morning traffic rush.

The Collegian will update this story as more information is available.

Q&A: President Myers talks falling in love with K-State, 2025 plan Compiled by Kaylie Mclaughlin Richard Myers, president of Kansas State University, sat down with Collegian staff members Friday to give insight into his job, his views on students’ problems and the future of the university.

Kaylie McLaughlin, assistant news editor: “What does your average day at work look like?”

Myers: “There is no average day.

I haven’t found one yet. ... There’s not a shortage of things to do, and there’s a lot of travel. I was surprised about the travel with the office, and that’s been true of [former president] Kirk Schultz and everybody else. I mean, you spend a lot of time outside of the office doing things, which is probably appropriate. ... A lot of donor visits, that’s a piece of it for sure.”

McLaughlin: “You were originally just the acting president.

What made you decide to stay?”

Myers: “I was convinced by the Board of Regents to do it as interim, and I said, ‘Listen, you better find somebody by December, or I’m out of here,’ because my family is all in Virginia. That’s where the kids are and the grandkids, two houses — a really nice nest, if you will — and then I actually kind of fell back in love.

“I was always doing things out here. I was out here teaching for 10 years. I was out here doing a lot of

stuff at the [KSU] Foundation. I just liked it. I thought that your higher education is so important that maybe I want to help, and people were encouraging — faculty, staff, students, coaches. A lot of people just said, ‘Why don’t you think about staying?’

I asked my wife if I could do that, and she said, ‘Let me think about it.’

And then the next morning she said, ‘The family will support whatever you decide to do.’”

Rafael Garcia, editor-in-chief: “You were a student back in the 1960s. What’s changed since then?”

Myers: “First, the quality of our facilities. I was in engineering, [and] most of mine was done in the old Seaton Hall. There was no Engineering Complex. That was a dream that was going to be executed after we left.

But the main thing is all of the tools for student success — they’ve really grown over time. So, for a student to come here and not be successful in academics, my guess is they’re not taking advantage of all those tools that are there, and it’s free.

“Oh, and we have a winning football team. It makes a difference because it gets people interested.

Coach [Bill] Snyder has really changed the whole complexion up here.”

McLaughlin: “What do you think is the biggest problem facing K-State students in 2018?”

Myers: “The biggest problem that hurts student success the most is the cost of education, and particularly first generation students, [who] are more likely to be those who don’t have the financial background to plunk down the tuition. I think that’s what we are trying to work on, those scholarships and so forth that help that.

“Tuition when I started was $137 a semester because the state was doing a lot of the support. Today, if the state was still providing that same support, that number, through inflation, would be over $1,000 today. Still very reasonable, but because the state has cut their support to all higher ed institutions in the state of Kansas, the burden shifted from the state now to families and students.”

McLaughlin: “When you were our age, did you ever imagine that you’d be the president of a Big 12 university?”

Myers: “I didn’t, and nobody I knew would imagine that for me. Of course not. I did not plan on making the military career, but things evolve, and you will all figure that out if you haven’t already. You can set down a path, but that may not be the path.

Hopefully, you’ll explore different things and find your true calling at some point. I thought I was going to be in the military for five years, and I was going to work in Kansas City for my dad. He had a small business.

He bought it when he was pretty old,

I was looking forward to doing that with my brother, and I never came near it.”

Garcia: “Going back to Kaylie’s question from earlier, what do you think is the biggest problem facing K-State as a whole?”

Myers: “For the next couple of years, it’s enrollment. We’ve had a pretty big enrollment decline, and that’s revenue. We’ve had to cut

our budget, and we’re at the point, given 10 years of state cuts and now this enrollment piece on top of it, [where] some of our colleges, some of our departments are really hurting. We’ve got to weather this storm. ... In the meantime, it’s a lot of ‘belt tightening,’ and that’s kind of our focus right now.”

The Wildcats led for just under four minutes the entire game, but just as they have all season long, this group worked together to put points up when they needed to. Junior guard Kayla Goth, sophomore forward Peyton Williams and freshman guard Rachel Ranke all finished the

night in double figures for K-State.

Goth finished with 19 points and 70 percent from the foul line on 7-10 free throws. Williams had 14 points and two blocks, while Ranke had 10 points and seven defensive boards for the night.

Ranke, who leads K-State in shots made from 3-point range, made just one 3-pointer out of nine attempts against the Jayhawks.

This was the tenth

straight win against KU in the series.

After their opening tournament win, the Wildcats faced the No. 1 seeded Baylor Bears in the quarterfinals.

Baylor put on a performance like one would expect and beat K-State 83-54 on Saturday.

Goth registered her eighth game with 20 or more points, scoring 24 in this game with four assists. Williams added 10 points to the team effort.

K-State’s defense could not hold off Baylor, which had four players score in double figures. Junior Kalani Brown, the 2018 Big 12 Player of the Year, had 26 points and 13 rebounds.

Adrian Rodriguez talks multiculturalism on campus with SGA KAYLIE MCLAUGHLIN THE COLLEGIAN

Adrian Rodriguez, associate vice president of academic student services for diversity and multicultural student affairs, spoke to the Student Governing Association about the atmosphere of multiculturalism on campus today and how it will look in the future during the open period of Thursday's SGA meeting.

Rodriguez said a majority of his work since taking his position in December has been getting acquainted with students to discuss inclusion efforts and an "intercultural mindset."

"We all bring our unique selves, our authentic selves, to K-State, and it's important to be valued for who we are and where we come from," Rodriguez said. "When we talk about diversity and inclusion,

that involves all of us."

Rodriguez said when he arrived, he was surprised to find that the multicultural dialogues being had at Kansas State equated diversity with race.

"I'm used to a little bit more of an evolved discussion on that, but I think, as I've been working and listening, there's been a great deal of discussion and interest in intercultural learning," Rodriguez said.

"It's about understanding each of our own identities and our unique perspectives."

In the future, Rodriguez said he wants to build a student-driven multicultural strategy, as opposed to the "front loaded" efforts the university uses now.

"What we want to do is make sure that we are engaging students as they are moving through the college experience and doing as much as we can to provide intercultural learning," Rodriguez said.

McLaughlin: “Now that a lot of the original motivators of the 2025 initiative have moved on or are preparing to leave, where do you think the future lies?”

Myers: “It’s going to go right on to 2025. Probably before we get there, we’ll be thinking about a new strategic plan, but you always have to have a plan that you’re marching toward. I don’t know who will develop the next one. It’s not personality-dependent. It isn’t dependent on one personality, me or anybody else. ... It doesn’t matter who leaves, who comes.”

Garcia: “With instances such as the white

Another idea Rodriguez discussed was the potential implementation of an element promoting the Principles of Community during the enrollment process.

Rodriguez also detailed the next steps of the KSUnite movement as well as the potential for a multicultural student cen-

nationalist posters on campus from last semester, how [will] K-State build on some of the discussions that have been happening?”

Myers: “Trying to build resilience. You know the Westboro Baptist Church, that has an anti-gay message. They have to petition to demonstrate, and they often do it by McCain, right? Maybe at graduation.

I’m usually inside and never see them. People just walk by them these days; they don’t even pay attention. When they first started, everybody got upset, but now we’ve learned. ‘That’s an interesting view, thank you very much.’ We don’t even discuss that with them anymore. We have resilience against that sort of hate speech.

“Same with white supremacist posters. They can put them up on campus. They can only legally put them up

where we put all posters up, and you have to apply and get permission and so forth.

They shouldn’t turn us upside down just because somebody put something up like that. We should treat them just like the Westboro Baptist Church. Bad idea, bad philosophy, not very appropriate to us, thank you very much and move on with life and not all duck for cover because that’s just part of life.

We’ve got to make ourselves resilient to that and then promote the kind of culture we want here at K-State. That does not define us.”

McLaughlin: “What has been your favorite part about working at K-State?”

Myers: “All parts, I think.

I actually have fun doing this.

[There’s] a lot of challenges, and we’ve talked about some of them, but it’s fun because if you’re helping students, you’re

The Student Governing Association's Privilege Fee Committee concluded its debate over raising fee allocations to the Kansas State Counseling Services on Thursday evening with a decision to recommend a recurring five percent increase over the next three years.

"Our main goal tonight is to figure out what we are going to do with Counseling Services," said Sarah Niederee, committee chair and senior in entrepreneurship.

Niederee said the number one goal of the Counseling Services is to fully fund all staff positions with any increase the committee recommended.

"Because of the decrease in state funding, they

That’s really important for our state, our region, our students.

I like doing it and working with students is a lot of fun. I mean, they keep you young. You’ve got to stay up; you can get behind really fast.”

Garcia: What do you wish students knew about you?

Myers: “I hope they think I care, because I do care — that’s all. I’m not trying to build a resume, because where am I going after this, right? My resume was built long before I got here, and it is what it is.

This is an opportunity and a privilege to be part of something that is really important to me and to our state and to the regions of the world, because we’ve got K-Staters all over the world doing really amazing things.”

actually aren't fully funding the positions that they already have," Niederee said.

The committee also recommended all increases in allocations to go toward the hiring of a post-doctoral position to lighten the load of current staff counselors.

"I think everyone in this room wants to provide funding for them to hire a post-doc position, but if we give them the funding for that knowing that it is not their top priority, then there is a risk that they might not hire one," Jordan Martin, senior in computer science, said.

Dalton Maples, committee member and senior in education, said he thinks raising the current allocations by five percent would be a good use of student money.

"If there is any one thing you can present to the student body when you tell

them that we are going to raise their fees, it is mental health because it is a very important issue," Maples said.

Ryan Kelly, committee member and junior in civil engineering, moved the committee vote to consider increasing the Counseling Services' privilege fee funding by five percent each year for the next three years.

"When we look at these numbers and we look at their priorities, it seems problematic to me that they need assistance to fully fund positions," Kelly said.

"They asked for five percent, and I think we should give them at least that."

The motion was passed 7-3.

The Privilege Fee Committee will reconvene tonight at 5:30 p.m. in the SGA conference room in the Center for Student Involvement.

K-State student drowns at Tuttle Creek, RCPD says RACHEL HOGAN THE COLLEGIAN

Recovery efforts resumed Sunday in hopes of finding the body of a drowned man at Tuttle Creek Lake.

Rescue crews responded to a re-

port of a kayaker in distress in "rough water conditions" around 3 p.m. Saturday, according to the Manhattan Fire Department.

However, the individual did not survive. The Riley County Police Department identified the victim as Anthony Berg, 21, of Stillwell, Kansas.

Berg was a junior in chemical engineering at Kansas State.

Efforts to recover the body on Saturday were unsuccessful, but efforts resumed Sunday.

The Collegian will update this story as more information becomes available.

The Kansas State baseball team completed a three-game sweep of the La Salle Explorers this weekend at Tointon Family Stadium in Manhattan, improving the Wildcats’ season record to 7-4 overall.

The Wildcats won the first game over the Explorers 9-3 on Friday night.

K-State sophomore pitcher Kasey Ford pitched six and twothirds innings. He gave up only three runs on seven hits.

Junior centerfielder Drew Mount was a perfect 3-3 for the day. He also recorded three RBIs and scored three runs himself. He had two triples and a home run.

K-State took a 6-3 lead into the bottom of the eighth and put up a three-spot to put the game away.

Freshman pitcher Quinton Potter pitched a scoreless top of the ninth, but because of the six-run lead, did not qualify for a save.

K-State then beat La Salle in walk-off fashion on Saturday, 1110 in 11 innings.

K-State took an 8-6 lead

into the ninth inning, but La Salle managed to score three runs to take a 9-8 lead.

La Salle’s scoring started with a one-out double by senior designated hitter Chase Arnold.

Junior right fielder Connor Hinchliffe scored Arnold’s pinch runner on a single.

Next, freshman third baseman Tommy Toal reached on a fielder’s choice that scored senior centerfielder Brian Dudek.

Hinchliffe scored on a wild pitch to make it 9-8 La Salle going into the bottom of the ninth.

With two outs, Ausmus hit a solo home run for K-State to knot it up at nine runs apiece. Each team then managed a run in the tenth inning to make it 10-10.

In the bottom of the eleventh, Ausmus drew a walk and freshman Brett Owen pinch ran for him. Owen scored the game-winning run on a one-out double by senior first baseman Trent McMaster.

The Wildcats finally completed the sweep Sunday, beating La Salle 5-1.

Senior pitcher Justin Heskett provided a quality start for K-State, going seven and twothirds innings and only giving up one run on nine hits.

“It was nice to come out here and have a good outing and get that out of my mind,” Heskett said. “There were a few adjustments I made in my midweek bullpen this week that helped me today. Those helped me along with just getting my head right.”

Heskett got some help from his outfield, who gunned down two Explorers who were trying to score in the early innings.

“We threw two guys out at the plate early; that was big,” head coach Brad Hill said.

Sophomore left fielder Will Brennan was 3-5 for the day, including an RBI single in the fourth inning that scored freshman catcher Jordan Maxson.

Maxson had a two-run home run to left-center in the bottom of the eighth to add two insurance runs for K-State.

Freshman pitcher Jaxon Passino recorded his first career save, pitching one and onethird innings of scoreless baseball to close out the win.

The Wildcat baseball team will be in action again Tuesday and Wednesday when it hosts Incarnate Word for a two-game series.

The current Kansas State men’s basketball season has been rocky at times, but one constant is the fact that Dean Wade and Barry Brown have owned the reigns of their team.

The junior duo has jockeyed to be the team’s leading scorer all season song. Wade currently averages 16.7 points per game, while Brown averages 16.6 points per game.

Of K-State’s 31 regular season games, Wade has score in single-digits just four times.

For Brown, that number is seven.

Their impact could go without saying, but it needs to be spoken for.

Saturday afternoon, when K-State defeated Baylor 77-67, the two stole the show again.

Wade led the Wildcats in scoring with 25 points while shooting a crisp 64 percent.

He flirted with his fifth double-double of the season

with his seven rebounds of the night.

Brown dropped 18 points and shot efficiently, 67 percent from the field and 50 percent from three-point range.

Brown also narrowly missed a double-double as he finished with nine assists.

When the Wildcats and Bears first met, the Wildcats won 90-83.

Wade and Brown controlled that game as well.

Brown led with 34 points and Wade followed with 24.

Baylor head coach Scott Drew was more than aware of this.

In his opening statement, Drew said, “For the record, it was senior night, and I am personally hoping this is Dean Wade and Barry Brown’s last game at Kansas State. Both of them are pros.

I have nothing but respect for them. I think they are great players, and we struggled guarding them.”

This high praise from an opposing coach proves the effectiveness of the two.

Wade has clearly exhibited a confidence boost from his sophomore season and even since the first half of this season. Since Big 12 play began, Wade has only attempted less than 10 shots in two games and is shooting 55 percent on the season.

Wildcats head coach Bruce Weber thought the boost in Wade’s confidence has come from experience over the past years of being on the team.

“Just experience and time and where he came from,” Weber said. “He is a very unassuming guy. He is not very confident, and he is extremely humble. We tell him there is nothing wrong with being a little cocky and confident on the court, and he has developed a little bit of that. His teammates tell him, ‘Nothing can stop you, Dean. Just let things come, and we will get it to you.’”
