Survey: Jardine parking lots patrolled less during basketball season 36 percent of trucks park poorly in garage HANNAH JOHLMAN THE COLLEGIAN

BRYANT WORCESTER THE COLLEGIAN

In a survey of two hundred vehicles parked in the Kansas State parking garage, 18 percent of these vehicles were parked poorly. The only outlier was trucks, with over 36 percent not parked correctly in their space. “It doesn’t surprise me,” Jordan Eberhardy, sophomore in kinesiology, said. She said she believes that trucks are difficult to park and harder to fit between the lines. According to K-State traffic and parking regulations, a vehicle is improperly parked when it is not within the lines of a parking stall. The survey was conducted around noon when the ground floor of the K-State parking garage was full. All two hundred vehicles surveyed were adjacent to each other, in order to determine if they were parked improperly. Of the vehicles surveyed, 108 vehicles were cars, 11 were trucks, and 81 were classified as “other,” such as SUVs, Jeeps and Hatchbacks. The vehicles parked improperly consisted of nineteen cars, four trucks, and thirteen other vehicles. The survey also noted that there tended to be a cascading effect where, if one vehicle was over the parking line, the next vehicle would do the same. This would continue until a car that was smaller would park properly in a space, regardless of the lessened space. see page

A rich tradition flows through the walls of Bill Snyder Family Stadium and Bramlage Coliseum, both familiar homes to the K-State Wildcats. However, before the band can perform and before the student section can sway to the Wabash Cannonball, most game-goers have one thing in common: They must park.

On a day-to-day basis, Abbott said that Jardine parking lot is not a “hot spot” for parking offenders, but that the lot is often patrolled two to three times per day. “We don’t add extra patrol to game days, but emphasis is made on the dorms and residence hall lots,” Abbott said. Abbott echoed Lander in saying that the volume of those attending basketball is much less than football, causing basketball to be a non-issue. “One of the problems is though, that after 5 p.m., residents can’t call here and complain if there are a lot of people violating the rules,” Abbott said. “In that case, they have to call the police.” In an email interview, Ronnie Grice, K-State Chief of Police, said the police department plays no role in parking enforcement for

anyone during basketball or football game days. He said that when calls are taken, officers on regular patrol who are not assigned to the event will check on the complaint and take whatever enforcement action that is necessary. “We do write quite a few tickets, but I would venture that we probably are inconveniencing residents who can’t find parking close to their apartment, but we are not displacing them from parking in the lots around Jardine,” Abbott said, adding that the situation might have changed without his knowledge. If problems have escalated to where residents are truly experiencing a problem, Lander said that residents should reach out to Housing and Dining Services. “We want to hear from them,” he said. “That way we can get a better idea of the exact details, what date are we looking at, what time was it, what parking lot was it, if there is a certain area that is a major issue, then maybe there is something we can do to address it.”

Manhattan party culture creates sense of community for students HOUSE PARTY CULTURE

DANIELLE COOK & KELSEY KENDALL THE COLLEGIAN

In Aggieville, friendships can start with strangers lighting each other’s cigarettes. In a house party, friendships can start with a stranger’s willingness to share their Jimmy John’s. Many Kansas State students have found a sense of community in spending their weekends immersed in Manhattan’s party culture, from the bars of Aggieville to private house parties.

AGGIEVILLE CULTURE

Plenty of K-State students would say when they come to Aggieville at night, they expect to have a good time with friends and drink. Aggieville has more than 15 bars to choose from, according to the Aggieville Business Association website, and on weekends people can be seen bar hopping and hanging outside the bars in groups. Jordan Irsik, senior in secondary education, said the atmosphere varies bar to bar in Aggieville, but overall, it is very welcoming and positive. “The people at Kansas State are all really friendly with each other,” Irsik said. “You rarely have any fights or anything like that. People are usually really respectful of each other, and you’re basically partying with a bunch of strangers and everyone acts like they’re best friends.” Irsik said he recalls great Tuesday nights in Aggieville with his friends. He and his friends would go out on Tuesday nights to take advantage of the cheaper prices and see where they would go. Where they decided to go depended on what they wanted to do each night. “Usually if we’re just trying to hang out, have fun, we’d just go to (So Long Saloon), but if we were trying to turn up like we used to, we’d go to (Johnny Kaw’s Sports Bar) or

Hannah Gillespie, junior in life science, said Aggieville is a good place get groups together to forget being a student for an evening. “I feel like it’s always really relaxed,” Gillespie said. “I don’t feel like there’s a place I would go and feel uncomfortable in Aggieville.” Like Irsik, Gillespie’s favorite bar had been Rusty’s before it closed its doors last month. Aggieville has seen many changes over the years, Brett Allred, owner of Johnny Kaw’s, said. Allred recently purchased Rusty’s and also owns Shot Stop and Bomb Bar. Allred said a 2006 change in law made it easier for people to open bars in Aggieville. Since then, more bars have

popped up, but they constantly change in the “feast-or-famine type market.” “There might be two or three businesses that are really full and the others don’t see much business, but because there’s so many bars now, it’s a lot different from 10 years ago when all the bars would be very busy,” Allred said. Despite the changes that have happened and what he expects will happen, Allred said people who come to Aggieville can still expect to be entertained and safe. Many people say it is important to feel safe in Aggieville when going out. Officer Tyrone Townsend with the Riley County Police has worked to do that for over a year. He said as a police officer, he has become a part of the Aggiev-

ille community. “You see a lot of the same people, which isn’t always bad,” Townsend said. “You make connections with them. I think you make them feel safe, because they get to know you.” Townsend said what he has seen in Aggieville is a community that takes care of its people, lighting cigarettes for each other, loaning phone chargers and making sure people get home safely. “This could go on, but obviously there is the bad stuff,” Townsend said. Issues officers might handle in a night are MIP, over-intoxication, DUIs or fights. Fights typically happen around the time bars close, he said. Officers pay close attention to parking lots and other places where people might

congregate, because these are places where fights might happen. “Obviously you’ll see some of the fights,” Townsend said. “We’ve had in the past in some of the bars mega- mega-fights with 10 plus people. It’s just a brawl, an all-out brawl … you’re just trying to contain it.” Despite the fights and other issues an officer might face in Aggieville, Townsend said he still likes to think of the funny moments, like the night when a man came in to report a stolen car but it had actually been repossessed. Things can get crazy in Aggieville, especially working in it, but Townsend said he appreciates the community mixed with K-State students and faculty, military and locals.

Danielle Winchester, junior in hospitality management, said she has both attended and hosted her fair share of private parties throughout her time in college, and has concluded that a majority of Manhattan house parties have a more low-key atmosphere to them than parties in other college towns. “Everybody seems to know everyone here, or if you don’t know a person (at a party), you’ve seen them somewhere, or you’re like, ‘Oh, you’re on the tennis team. My friend’s on the tennis team,’ so it all feels really connected,” Winchester said. As far as how she’s seen law enforcement’s handling of out-of-hand house parties, Winchester said Manhattan police are reasonable and respectable. “In Manhattan, cops don’t seem very rude about it,” Winchester said. “They usually give a warning at first. They come in respectfully, and they tell you the truth. I know in other places, cops will lie to you to get in the house. They’ll tell you they have a warrant when they don’t. That doesn’t seem to happen here because it’s such a family-style culture and such a tight community.” Winchester said she recalls allowing a stranger, who was a fellow K-State student, into one of her parties because they brought Jimmy John’s to share. “It wasn’t weird because everybody in Manhattan seems really nice and friendly,” Winchester said. “And I know that that’s not true for everything. Sometimes parties get too wild and sometimes things go bad, but for the most part, every party I’ve ever been to has been really respectful for a party. You know, K-State’s a community, and we’re not very big in the grand scheme of things, so everybody kind of has a connection to everybody. It’s nice. It’s safe.”

Lindsey Proffit, junior in animal sciences and industry, described some of the difficulties she faces when parking her truck on campus. “Being short and trucks being higher off the ground, it’s harder to park,” Proffit

said. She added that trucks are sometimes wider vehicles than what the parking spaces allow for. A few trucks involved in the survey were so large that all four tires were on the lines. In these cases, if the truck was in the exact center of its space

and pulled fully forward, it was seen as properly parked. Josh Camarena, senior in mechanical engineering, said, “Trucks do take up more room.” He said he believes that the size of the spots are fine and that people do not spend much time worrying about how they parked.

'Spork' sculpture: Students have many theories, one reason BRIGETTE KLOEPPNER THE COLLEGIAN

Located north of King Hall and south of the Staley School of Leadership Studies, a “spork-like” statue has been a component of Kansas State’s campus for over 50 years. Constructed in 1969, the 20-foot tall white fiberglass structure stands tall over the hundreds of students that pass by it each day. The sculpture was built in collaboration with the “Art in Situation” workshops, a series of summer seminars for students that took place from 1969-1971 aimed at creating art pieces across

campus for public enjoyment. The workshops were funded in collaboration between several departments as well as the Ford Foundation. Upwards of five sculptures were added across campus, but few of the structures created still stand today. After construction, James Wentz, the artist responsible for creating the sculpture near King Hall, said that he actually had constructed the piece with no true object in mind and instead wanted the sculpture to be left up to individual interpretation. Kelsey Kastilahn, freshman in animal sciences and industry, said she has wondered what the sculpture is actually supposed to

represent. “When I walk by the sculpture on the way to class, I often wonder what it is supposed to be and what someone thought when they were building it,” Kastilahn said. Although commonly referred to as a fork or spork, many other ideas have circulated over the years about the true nature behind the sculpture. Some believe that it is meant to look like a chess piece, as it is next to King Hall, a claw to represent Willie the Wildcat and a trident. Thomas Meek, freshman in finance, said he thinks the statue has a more literal meaning.

“I think it may be meant to symbolize the literal fork in the road college students are at between childhood and what’s to come after graduation,” Meek said. Whatever the interpretation may be, many see the sculpture as a reminder of their college experience. Mark Taussig, Project Manager for the Division of Facilities at K-State, said he has fond memories of the sculpture on campus. “Now with my job, I’m involved in taking care of all of the sculptures on campus including the ‘fork,’ but I remember it from when I was at K-State myself, wondering what it was every time I walked by,” Taussig said.

OFF-CAMPUS APARTMENTS

JASON TIDD

THE COLLEGIAN

A federal judge in Kansas said Kansas State has a duty under Title IX to investigate reports of student-on-student sexual assault at off-campus greek houses and events, but not at off-campus apartments. U.S. District Judge Julie Robinson, in court documents signed Monday, dismissed portions of Title IX lawsuits by current and former K-State students against the university, but also allowed other portions to continue through the court process. Two lawsuits against the

university were filed in April 2016 by Sara Weckhorst and Tessa Farmer, both seniors in social work. In November 2016, Crystal Stroup, a former K-State student, filed to join Weckhorst’s lawsuit. The court dismissed two of Weckhorst’s and Farmer’s claims: violation of the Kansas Consumer Protection Act and negligence; however, the violation of Title IX claims will continue through the court. Title IX is a federal statute that protects against sex-based discrimination at federally-funded education institutions. There are four ongoing Title IX investigations by the U.S. Department of Education regarding

The addition of Stroup’s amendment to Weckhorst’s lawsuit was denied by the court because Stroup’s reported rape was at an off-campus apartment. The court stated: “The alleged sexual assault of Ms. Stroup occurred at a private off-campus apartment, and not in relation to any fraternity event. Under these circumstances, the Court cannot find that KSU had ‘substantial control’ over the context of the assault.” In a statement on Tuesday, K-State said the court’s reasoning validates PPM 3010, the university’s policy governing investigation of reports of sex discrimination. “The Court explained that Title IX requires the university to respond to reports of sexual violence that occur within K-State’s education programs and activities,” the statement said. “The Court rejected the notion that K-State itself must conduct an investigation of all reported acts of sexual violence between students regardless of location and connection to K-State’s programs and activi-

ties. PPM 3010 aligns with these rulings.” Jeff Morris, K-State vice president for communications and marketing and acting vice president for human capital services, said in an email the university will have no further comment beyond the statement.

OFF-CAMPUS GREEK HOUSING

The court stated that K-State may have a “duty to adhere to the mandate of Title IX,” even when reports of sexual assault involve greek housing and events. The court said: “The Court simply finds that Plaintiff has presented plausible allegations in this case that KSU had substantial control over the fraternity (a KSU student organization) and the alleged assailants, thereby triggering a duty to adhere to the mandate of Title IX — that is, respond to Plaintiff’s report of rape in a way that was not deliberately indifferent or ‘clearly unreasonable.’” The court said the university has “substantial control” over fraternities: “The fraternity allegedly is a KSU student organization, is supervised by a faculty adviser, is overseen by KSU’s Office of

Greek Affairs, is subject to KSU rules specifically applicable to fraternity parties and events, and was suspended by the KSU (Interfraternity Council) for conduct at the party where Plaintiff was assaulted. Thus, the Court is convinced that KSU has substantial control over the alleged

assailants and the context in which the alleged assaults at Pillsbury Crossing and the fraternity house occurred.”

Offense fails in Wildcats’ loss to Nebraska Omaha DEAUNDRA ALLEN THE COLLEGIAN

The Kansas State Wildcats baseball team hosted the University of Nebraska Omaha Mavericks at home in Tointon Family Stadium and lost 5-2. Prior to the game the Mavericks were 1-14 and on a 12 game losing streak. The Mavericks came into the game from their first home series against Northern Colorado, where they lost two games of the series, 9-4 and 7-3. The third game of the series was cancelled due to inclement weather. After beating K-State, they are now 2-14, breaking their losing streak. The Wildcats are now 12-5 after this hard-fought loss against the Mavericks. After inclement weather cancelled Tuesday’s game against the Creighton Bluejays, K-State came into Wednesday’s game with high hopes and the will to compete. Senior Colton Kalmus was the starting pitcher, and managed to strike out two Mavericks in the second and third innings, he finished with a total of eight strikeouts on the day. The Mavericks led from the beginning after a poor Wildcats start. In the top of the first, Ryan Cate and Grant Suponchick of the Mavericks scored to give them a 2-0 lead.

Senior Jake Wodtke makes contact with a pitch on Wednesday evening against University of Nebraska-Omaha. Shortly after in the fourth inning, Parker Smejkal and Nate Mallott each drove in a run, growing their lead to 4-0. It wouldn’t be until the bottom of the fourth inning that sophomore catcher Josh Rolette would double down the line to drive in the first run, making the score 4-1. Following Rolette, junior outfielder Hanz Harker reached on a fielder’s choice, allowing another run to come home. They would end the fourth inning trailing the Mavericks 4-2. At the start of the sixth inning Smejkal drove in another run to increase the Mavericks’ lead to 5-2. The score would hold for the rest of the game. “We’re going to be practicing really hard tomorrow, I can promise you that,” head

coach Brad Hill said after the game. “We’ll get after it hard, do the right things and we have to be sharp.” Hill said the next couple days at practice the K-State baseball team will be coached on how to play fundamental baseball the “old fashioned way.” “Our biggest place to improve will be offensively,” Hill said. “We’re not where we were. Doing the right thing means not walking people, making the plays that should be made, and just playing good fundamental baseball.” The Wildcats will now turn their attention to this upcoming weekend for a home series at Tointon Family Stadium against the Iowa Hawkeyes, kicking off Friday at 4 p.m.
