RESEARCH
Virologists receive licensing to research coronavirus compounds ABBY LACY WRITER
An agreement between Kansas State and Cocrystal Pharma Inc., has given two virologists and associate professors of veterinary medicine at K-State licensing for technology to research the potential production of an antiviral drug to treat coronaviruses and noroviruses. Cocrystal Pharma Inc. is a clinical stage biotechnology company that generates and identifies novel antiviral compounds. With the help and support from the federal level, Kyeong-ok Chang said he and Yunjeong Kim, both associate professors of veterinary medicine, are able to keep pursuing their research. “Fortunately with the federal funding, we are able to continue to develop the compound against not only the MERS coronavirus, but Photo courtesy of K-State Photo Services

University places indefinite ban on faculty-led trips KAYLIE MCLAUGHLIN EDITOR-IN-CHIEF
The university will prohibit all faculty-led and university sponsored trips to countries that fall under the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention level three travel advisory or the U.S. State Department level four travel advisory. The ban comes in the midst
maybe the new COVID-19 coronavirus too,” Chang said. According to Kim and Chang, there are currently no antiviral drugs that can cure human coronaviruses and noroviruses. This includes COVID-19, SARS — Severe Acute Respiratory System — and MERS — Middle East Respiratory Syndrome. “We don’t have anything for coronavirus infection so far, so that’s the whole goal of us developing protease inhibitors for coronavirus infection, specifically against MERS,” Kim said. Kim and Chang have been conducting ongoing research for several years now. They have worked with several collaborators in different institutions including William Groutas, a medicinal chemist from Wichita State University, in hopes of advancing antiviral drug development for coronaviruses and noroviruses. “At the time, our major focus was norovirus antivirus, focused on protease inhibitors,” Chang said. “Then, of course, we can extend similar approaches against norovirus to coronavirus. So that’s how our history begins.” According to Kim, many of the viruses have similar proteases — types of enzymes that break down proteins to a smaller size — such as amino acids or peptides.
“What’s interesting is that some of the viruses have very similar virus proteases,” Kim said. “Once we have some compounds that are working against coronavirus or human norovirus, there’s a chance they may be effective against the other viruses that have similar virus proteases.” Although Kim and Chang’s primary research focus has been on human viruses, they have also made some advancements in animal viruses. “We have accumulated a lot of data working on the antiviral drugs for norovirus and coronaviruses and then we as a team identified a very good potential compound that seems to be working very well for cats,” Kim said. “Through five to six years of efforts, we were able to get into the clinical trial using one of our protease inhibitors and then showed the results that were very promising in terms of curing the cats.” Even though this progress is a step in the right direction of creating an antiviral drug to fight coronaviruses and noroviruses, Kim said there are many steps that need to be taken to achieve it. “There’s still a long way to go,” Kim said. “Sometimes people think licensing out means we have a clinical trial tomorrow or next year, but that’s not the reality.”
TRAVEL CONCERNS
of growing global concern for the spread of COVID-19, which has been confirmed in nearly 70 countries, including the United States. The ban is immediate and "will not be lifted until further guidance is provided by federal authorities," a news release from Kansas State says. "We do not know how many terms will be affected. The travel ban is in effect until further no-
tice," Michelle Geering, K-State public information officer, said via email. Some of the countries included in the ban are Italy, South Korea, China, Iran and Venezuela, per the CDC Travelers' Health notice. Japan is not currently at the threshold for a level three advisory, but individuals traveling to the country are encouraged to practice "enhanced precautions," the university says.
"These measures are being taken to protect the university community in an uncertain time," the news release says. "Personal travel is not affected but strongly discouraged to those countries." Geering said it is unclear how this ban will impact K-State's summer study abroad program to Orvieto, Italy. "That decision has not been made," Geering said. "We continue to monitor the situation."
As for the programs affected by this ban, Geering said "academic continuance" is at the discretion of the colleges in which those programs reside. The College Architecture, Planning and Design study abroad spring 2020 program in Orvieto, Italy, was suspended officially on Wednesday. "Education Abroad notified students and families ... and is coordinating students' return to
Manhattan with health officials," the release says. Those students may be required to remain in a 14-day isolation period upon return to the United States. Exemptions to the ban are available and must be processed by the K-State International Risk Advisory Working Group, who will review all requests. Provost Charles Taber will get the final say on each case.

PREVIEW ADAM MEYER WRITER
The Iowa State Cyclones come to Manhattan on Saturday to cap off the regular season. Both the Wildcats and the Cyclones are at the bottom of the conference standings with a combined seven wins against Big 12 opponents. The Wildcats are in the last spot with a 2-15 record in conference play. Iowa State sits in ninth place, three games ahead with a 5-12 record against conference opponents. K-State has been playing average at home. They hold an 8-7 record at Bramlage Coliseum. For the Cyclones, playing on the road has been a major struggle. They haven’t had any success and have lost all 10 of their road games. Both teams are coming off
a loss. Iowa State lost to the West Virginia Mountaineers on Tuesday, 77-71, in Ames. K-State is coming off a loss to the Oklahoma State Cowboys, 69-63.
FIRST MEETING
This will be the second meeting between the Wildcats and the Cyclones. The first was Feb. 8. where the Cyclones won, 73-63. It was the end of a four-game losing streak for Iowa State. The game went like others have gone for K-State this season. The Wildcats were down 21-2 until redshirt junior guard Cartier Diarra got the team their first goal with a three-pointer twelve minutes before halftime. The Wildcats came back and got as close as 52-48 with about seven minutes remaining in the game, but the Cyclones
Wildcats to tussle with Iowa State for Senior Day Saturday
went on to win 73-63.
UPCOMING GAME
K-State will be looking for revenge in this game. As previously showed, they can compete and have the ability to beat the Cyclones. The Wildcats have avoided a season sweep against only two teams: West Virginia and Oklahoma. A victory on Saturday will make it three teams with Iowa State.
K-STATE
For K-State, this game will be about pride. The Wildcats will be the last seed in the Big 12 tournament. Unless they win the Big 12 tournament, which is unlikely at this point, their season will come to an end. It will be about sending senior forwards Xavier Sneed and Makol Mawien out with a win in their fi-

nal game at Bramlage Coliseum. Sneed, who was on the verge of declaring to enter the NBA Draft in the offseason, came back to be a senior leader and to be a memorable player in K-State’s men’s basketball program. Mawien has had a good career at K-State. He struggled with the senior pressure earlier in the season, but he has worked hard to do what he can to help the Wildcats. The Wildcats will need to shoot the ball well and they will need to defend Iowa State well at the three-point range to win this game.

Senior forward Xavier Sneed celebrates after making a three-point shot during the men’s basketball Throwback Game against Texas in Bramlage Coliseum on Feb. 22. For the Throwback Game, K-State wore twotone lavender uniforms, which were worn from 1973 to 1982. The Longhorns took the Wildcats 70-59.
The Kansas State baseball team (6-5) head to California to play a four-game weekend series against Stanford starting Friday night with first pitch at 8 p.m. CT. After sweeping Fairleigh Dickinson in their home opener, the Wildcats will look to continue that win streak against Stanford on the road. The last time the Wildcats faced the Cardinal was in 2011, where Stanford won 10-3 in the Fullerton Regional. Out of the six Wildcats who have started all 11 games, sophomore infielder Daniel Carinci leads the team with a .417 batting average and .903 on-base OPS. Stanford’s bullpen has performed well early in the season with five relievers holding an ERA under 4.00. The Cardinal holds just a 4-8 record. The
Cardinal have scored at least five runs only twice, giving up 11 runs in a 11-4 loss to Houston back on Feb. 21. Stanford has won its last three games including a 5-4 victory over No. 16 Michigan (6-5) on Tuesday night. Redshirt senior Jackson Parthasarathy went 3.1 innings for the win against the Wolverines. Parthasarathy is 1-0 for the Cardinal. K-State had a dominant opening weekend at home with a three-game sweep over the Fairleigh Dickinson Knights. The Wildcats outscored the Knights 40-3 with 17 extra-base hits in the series. After that series, K-State has eight pitchers with an ERA under 1.00 and three more with an ERA under 3.00. Redshirt sophomore righthander Carson Seymour (1-2) recorded the win in game one against the Knights. Seymour went six innings, striking out seven and giving up one run on four
hits. The California native has a 5.52 ERA, but will look to lower that in this weekend’s series. Redshirt freshman Connor McCullough got the win in game two last weekend with seven strong innings and nine strikeouts. On the year, McCullough has a 0.95 ERA for the Wildcats. In each of his three games, he has gone at least six innings. Sophomore Jordan Wicks went five innings for K-State in the series finale against the Knights. The left-hander could have gone longer, but by the sixth inning the Wildcats had already scored 12 runs. In his previous two starts, Wicks pitched seven innings. Wicks is 2-1 for K-State. The first game of the series will begin Friday night, with a doubleheader on Saturday and the weekend finale on Sunday afternoon. All four games can be heard on 1350 KMAN or on kstatesports.com.

Men’s basketball loses as Oklahoma State pulls away in second half ADAM MEYER WRITER
The men's basketball team mounted a competitive game against Oklahoma State in Stillwater, Oklahoma, Wednesday evening. The back-andforth meeting featured seven ties and an astonishing eight lead changes. But the Wildcats just couldn't keep up. Near the end of the matchup, the Cowboys surged, securing a 69-63 victory over the Wildcats. Kansas State sits at an 11 game losing streak. Going in the the halftime break, the Cowboys led by only three points, 26-23.
Oklahoma State started the second half strong, extending their lead to 32-25 in the first minute and a half. But K-State did not go down without a fight. They shortened the lead to 33-31, and they slowly fought their way to tie the game at 41-41 with 12:12 to play in the second half. Junior guard Mike McGuirl scored off a Cowboy turnover to give the Wildcats their first lead of the game, 43-41. That lead lasted until 7:55 remained on the clock. The Cowboys took it back with a three pointer, taking the score to 51-49. Oklahoma State never
looked back. They extended their late-surge lead to 56-49 before K-State started responding. The Wildcats got two free throws from senior forward Makol Mawien to make the score 56-51. It wasn't too long, however, before the Cowboys drew out their largest lead of the game, 62-51. K-State cut the lead to six points three different times after that in an attempt to comeback, and cut the lead to four on a three-pointer by senior forward Xavier Sneed, but that was as close as the Wildcats got to mounting a successful comeback. Redshirt junior guard Cartier Diarra led the Wild-
Tennis caps non-conference play with 4-3 victory over Nebraska CAMERON BRADLEY WRITER
The Kansas State tennis team closed out non-conference play on a high note Wednesday with a 4-3 victory over Nebraska thanks to a clutch comeback performance by sophomore Karine-Marion Job in the final match of the afternoon at Mike Goss Tennis Stadium. With both teams tied at 3-3, it all came down to Job and Nebraska (9-4) freshman Chloe Kuckelman to decide the meet in the No. 4 match. Nebraska had the edge after the first set, as Kuckelman took the opening set over Job by a score of 6-4. Since moving to the number four spot on Feb. 23, Job had not lost a match, going into the match with the Cornhuskers sitting at 2-0. After the next two sets, it was easy to see why Job had that 2-0 record in the four spot and a 6-1 record in singles in 2020. Job stepped up and dominated the rest of the match, taking the second set by a score of 6-3 and taking the final set by a score of 6-1, giving K-State (8-4) the 4-3 victory over the Cornhuskers.
“I told her that we needed her, and she stepped up, that’s all we can ask,” head coach Jordan Smith told K-State Sports. “To be in that situation where she put pressure on herself shows all the hard work that she has put in.” Prior to Job’s performance, the Wildcats and Cornhuskers went back and forth with each other throughout the match. K-State started the match in a hole, falling in the No. 2 spot and three positions in doubles play to give Nebraska the first point of the match. In double’s action, it was the junior pair of Margot Decker and Anna Turco falling in the two spot to the duo of freshman Isabel Adrover Gallego and senior Claire Reifeis by a score of 2-6. After that, K-State’s sophomore Ioana Gheorghita and senior Ines Mesquita fell to Nebraska’s pair of freshman twins Ellie Kuckelman and Chloe Kuckelman by a score of 6-4 in the number three position. Down 1-0 going into the singles portion of the match, Turco made quick work of Reifeis in the number one match, taking the first set 6-2 and the second 6-0 to tie things up at 1-1 between the two teams.
Nebraska took the lead right back though after Decker suffered her second loss of the day in the number three match falling to freshman Kristina Novak by scores of 4-6 and 1-6. K-State then hit their stride in the number two and six matches. Junior Maria Linares defeated Galle in the two spot by scores of 6-2 and 6-4 to tie things back up, then Mesquita gave K-State a 3-2 overall lead with 6-1 and 6-3 victories over sophomore Jessica Aragon. Finally snatching the lead away from the Cornhuskers and looking for a chance to take the match, redshirt sophomore Rosanna Maffei could not get the job done against Ellie Kuckelman in the No. 5 match, falling 1-6 and 2-6. Job had her clutch three-set victory over Chloe Kuckelman to give K-State the 4-3 victory in the end. K-State’s victory improved the Wildcats’ record to 8-4 on the season before the start of conference play this weekend. That first conference game being against the Oklahoma State Cowboys on Friday at Mike Goss Tennis Stadium with the start time set for 3 p.m.
cats scoring 16 points. Sneed scored 10 points and junior guard Mike McGurl scored 11 points. What really hurt K-State
this time around was the shooting behind the arc. The Wildcats went four-21 from behind the three point like — the Cowboys were seven-20.
K-State will return home to take on the Iowa State Cyclones at 3 p.m. Saturday. It will be Mawien and Sneed's last game in Bramlage Coliseum.

OPINION PAIGE EICHKORN WRITER
For a while, women have been expected to take some form of birth control — a pill, IUD, patch, shots — and plan their families themselves. Meanwhile, men can have sex worry-free. If their condom breaks or they don’t pull out in time, they expect women to be on something. Why is this?
Why has society perpetuated this idea that it’s the woman’s sole responsibility to make sure she doesn’t get pregnant? Why aren’t both genders held to this same standard? Well hold on my lady friends, because there may be hope for us yet! Within the next three to five years, intravenous shots, hormone gels and the hormonal birth control pill will be available to men.

Wednesday’s Lute concert was fun, entertaining LEXI GARCIA WRITER

Male birth control — why didn’t we think of this before?
Washington and LA BioMed Research Institute, different amounts of Dimethandrolone Undecanoate were administered to 100 men by random assignment and researchers observed the effects. For 28 days, the participants took the hormone pill once daily and returned to the lab often to have their vitals measured, behavior and mood changes observed and a checkup on their overall well-being.
The results indicated that participants who received higher levels of DMAU produced drastically lower levels of sperm concentration than the control group who were given placebo pills. Success, people! Men produce enough sperm to impregnate a woman everyday for a year, but women can only give birth once every nine months. It’s quite laughable really that we didn’t think of controlling the amount of

He’s just very up and coming.” I’ll be honest, I’d never heard of Lute before until I heard he was going to be performing on campus. The only song I knew about was “Under the Sun” fea-

turing J. Cole and DaBaby. “I just think that his journey’s been amazing and his music’s awesome,” Krys Williams, emcee for the night, said. “You can relate to his lyrics and you can just feel the passion in it.” Lute had never performed at a college or university before and didn’t know what to expect. “My favorite part about performing is not knowing what the hell I’m about to get into. Like tonight — I have no ideas how tonight’s going to go,” Lute said. The crowd quickly got into the music and enjoyed themselves. Throughout the concert, Lute stopped between songs to talk with the crowd. He mentioned he has a lot of anxiety whenever it comes to interacting with other people. “Honestly, I’m just as human as everybody else,” Lute said. “I hope my music comes
off as that as well. I’m just like everybody else when I go out I interact with people, I like to feel like the people. I like to just mingle with the people and be amongst the people.” Nas Sanders, freshman in social work, said Lute had a nice personality. “It was my first live concert, so it just made me feel so happy inside and he was so chill,” Sanders said. “It was funny, I felt like it was a little comedy show mixed with a little rap.” Lute performed a few songs from his first album, “West 1996 Pt. 2.” Lute said he got into music after stumbling upon the topic. “I had a group of friends that were into music and one of my friends’ older brother was actually in a music group, cause we looked up to his older brother so we were like ‘We should do a music group too,’” Lute said. “But when I started out, I was
sperm men release before now. So, I don’t have the answers to the questions I asked before, but I do know what we can do now: expect both women and men to be prepared before they have sex by taking birth control and using a condom. Be adults y’all. If you want to have sex, you need to have these mature conversations. Get over yourselves and realize this is bigger than just you and your pleasure: its both of your futures, its both of your lives — so get a grip. The development of these contraceptive methods is a big opportunity for men to step up and show women they care about protecting against
unwanted pregnancies just as much as women do. But until they are released on the market, the same options for men remain: condoms, the pull-out method or a vasectomy. I know that none of these sound fun, but they are necessary if you don’t want to be a parent. So to both partners: do your part, be adults and have fun.
trash. I mean, I still feel like I got work to do but when I started out I was like super trash. But I would say my influencers got me into music.” Throughout the night, he skipped around from his latest single “GED” to songs from the album “Revenge of the Dreamers” where he’s featured along with J. Cole and other Dreamville rappers. “Honestly, when people talk to me about how I got signed in Dreamville, to this day I’m like ‘I’m just as shocked as you are’ I didn’t see it coming,” Lute said. “I was literally at Wal-Mart when Cole called me and told me he found my music. I went on my lunch break and I talked to him and how he found my music. I was literally at work at Wal-Mart. So I look at this like a huge blessing because to this day I don’t know how it happened. “I didn’t hand out mixtapes, I didn’t put in what most people have endured, some of these things I haven’t endured like even with me being signed,” he said. “Cole reached out to me and found me, so it wasn’t like I was handing my mixtape out or I was
just knocking on doors and handing stuff out.” The highlight of the night were the auditions for J. Cole’s verse. Three students took to the stage trying to prove who knew the words the best. Towards the end of his performance, Lute joked about coming down again for Fake Patty’s Day, but said that he was going to be in Los Angeles recording music. However, he said he would come down again. Lute’s performance was without a doubt an experience I won’t forget. His lyrics are inspirational and give powerful messages. I recommend to anyone that hasn’t yet listened to him to do so. “My music is about people overcoming their circumstances, I’ll put it that way,” said Lute. “Like you know, start from the bottom and making your way up to the top with whatever it is. I don’t care if it’s you starting from the bottom and you’re making the top of your 9-5 or you want to pursue music. Whatever it is, whatever it is you’re trying to pursue, whatever your dreams are.”

MANHATTAN MAGIC Activities for ‘staycationing’ in MHK during spring break MONICA DIAZ WRITER
Rather than having an elaborate trip planned, stay local and enjoy Manhattan for all it has to offer. If you are already planning on staying in Manhattan for spring break, there are many things to do in the area and on a budget. Here are three local ideas for keeping busy over spring break.
1. HIKE AT THE KONZA PRAIRIE
The Konza Prairie is a great place to visit for all to enjoy. The Konza has walking trails that range from a mile hike to a six-mile hike. If you
are a morning person, a great option is to go early and watch the sunrise from the big hill. Not a morning person? Maybe watch the sunset. Another great option is to pack a lunch and have a picnic at the Konza. Being surrounded by nature and enjoying your lunch is a great option and allows you to share that moment by yourself or with others. Just don’t go off the trail.
2. VISIT VARSITY DONUTS — AND THEN BIKE AROUND TOWN
Many of you may be Many of you may be familiar with Varsity Donuts but not all the opportunities
that it offers. Varsity Donuts has many board games inside, a ping pong table and bike rentals. Stop in Varsity to grab a K-Stater donut and maybe even a cup of coffee. Make sure to play some of the games they have and even rent a bike to sight see around town. The great thing about the bikes is that you can get one for you or a bike for two. Varsity Donuts is a local staple and can make for a great day that consists of eating donuts and a workout from your bike.
3. MAKE A TRIP TO GEARY COUNTY STATE PARK
If you still are wanting to travel, there is a perfect spot to visit that is only a 30-minute drive from Manhattan. Geary County State Park is close
by and has a waterfall, hiking trails and fishing spots. If you are going to visit, look up the directions online beforehand. Once you’ve parked your car, there is a hike that is less than a mile and takes you to a stunning waterfall. Once you are there, I highly recommend packing a snack or lunch so you can stay the whole day. This is a great place to bring a book to read, a speaker for music or even a hammock to embrace the nature. If you want, hike around or stay near the waterfront. If you are staying local for spring break, make sure to give these places a try. There is a lot to do in the area, you just have to be creative and have fun.
