Campus community reflects on MLK’s legacy MOLLY HACKETT THE COLLEGIAN
On the 50th anniversary of Martin Luther King Jr.’s assassination Wednesday, campus leaders gathered to urge the Manhattan community to strive to be more inclusive in remembrance of his legacy. At a vigil in the afternoon, Bernard Franklin, special assistant to the university president and Kansas State alum, described King as an "intellectual giant," who he
said the likes of which only come about once in a lifetime. While King could have lived a life of splendor in the north as an educated black man, he chose to live his life in the south to help defend those who were unable to defend themselves because of Jim Crow laws, Franklin said. “He was a spiritual man, a teacher, a father, a guide and a husband,” Franklin said. “He used his identity as a proud black man and his fighting spirit of a warrior to help make changes to the
lives of all oppressed people.” Dariyan Springfield, junior in animal science and member of Alpha Phi Alpha fraternity, said the message of King speaks to him. “Dr. King’s courage and boldness have helped me to not be afraid of the social norms and stand up for what I believe in,” Springfield said. Helene Waldeck, junior in family studies and human services, said the community of Manhattan can move forward by placing necessary emphasis on social empathy.
Franklin said the best way for King’s legacy to live on is by preparing the next generation and celebrating the "mosaic culture" present in Manhattan. Franklin said society needs to continue to be dissatisfied until there is no more oppression between different racial groups in order for King’s message of equality to continue to resonate. Also in attendance was Gale Hammerschmidt, the pastor at St. Isidore’s Catholic Student Center. “I’ve been impressed
with Dr. Franklin because he speaks great truth and I feel privileged to call him a friend because he reminds me of Martin Luther King Jr.,” Hammerschmidt said. Franklin’s closing remarks ended urging students to think carefully, authentically and truthfully about what they give their lives for and challenged them to find a way to make both Manhattan and K-State a better place. “We still have a ways to go in loving one another,” Hammerschmidt said.
Music, food and fun planned for K-State’s Open House DENE DRYDEN
THE COLLEGIAN
On Saturday, Kansas State will celebrate its annual All-University Open House, inviting visitors from near and far to explore what the university has to offer. From 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. on the Manhattan campus, 9 a.m. to 2 p.m. at Olathe and 8 a.m. to 1 p.m. at the K-State Polytechnic campus in Salina, students and visitors can engage with K-State’s many programs and fields of study.

the College of Agriculture will host food science experiments and an insect petting zoo in Waters Hall. The College of Architecture, Planning and Design will have materials available for guests to build their own structures in Seaton Hall. Certain departments will also engage with the public during Open House. The Department of English will provide the “Poet in the Box” event in the Student Union Courtyard, where participants can have a poem custom-written for them. Visitors can sample sweets made by K-Staters
at the Bakery Science Club bake sale in Shellenberger Hall. Different varieties of cookies and breads will be sold. “Our production managers Emily Stangel and Aaron Goerl have been at the bake lab day and night for the past two weeks preparing the products for our open house sale,” Katelyn Lee, sophomore in bakery science, said. Lee said the bake sale will be held on the second floor of Shellenberger.

Kentucky Fried Chicken 901 N. Third St. Date: April 4, 2018 Reason: Modified complaint Result: In compliance Inspector comments: Chicken breasts were are 174 degrees Fahrenheit and chicken wings were at 204 degrees Fahrenheit outside of the fryer. Chicken was at 134 degrees Fahrenheit in the hot holding unit. Soda dispenser nozzles in the lobby and in the drive-thru are clean.

Corrected on site: paper towels replenished.
Practicing architect and professor at the University of Arkansas, Marlon Blackwell presented a lecture about abstraction in a landscape of unholy unions as part of the Oscar S. Ekdal Distinguished Lecture series in the College of Architecture and Design on Wednesday. “I am working from a very simple conviction that architecture is larger than the subject of architecture,” said Blackwell. “What we try to do is look at the world with a wide-angle microscopic lens, in which we generate ideas and actions from our engagement with the everyday.” During the lecture, Blackwell spoke about several of his

The person in charge said she did not take temperatures today. It has been more than four hours. The cold holding unit on the front service counter for the whipped cream was not on, and the electric cord is not present. NOTE: There is one can from the very back of the reach-in refrigerator at 42 degrees Fahrenheit. The ambient temperature of the reach-in
refrigerator is 39.6 degrees Fahrenheit.

projects, which are mostly in or near Arkansas and are often based on the contradictions of place. His work includes the Crystal Bridges Museum Store, the Shelby Farms Park restaurant and the expansion of the University of Arkansas’ Community Design Center Another project Blackwell designed was a pediatric clinic that Blackwell said utilized features of the agricultural landscape and the suburban landscape together to create what he calls an “unholy union.” “It, almost in a subtle way, begins to critique the rest of what’s around and begins to say well, here’s another way to look at it," Blackwell said. Tim de Noble, dean of the College of Architecture, Planning and Design, who taught with Blackwell for 14 years, said Blackwell has honed his
skills as an architect by being receptive to his students, sometimes pulling examples from his own work to discuss with them. “One of the really great ways you enhance your students’ education and your faculty’s knowledge is to bring in superb practitioners like Marlon Blackwell to present their work,” de Noble said. Jason Jirele, graduate student in architecture, said the Ekdal series provides students with diverse perspectives and inspires students soon entering the profession. He said hearing from architects working in different cities with varying budgets is valuable insight for students. “It’s just good to hear these different viewpoints of how to create good architecture in such different settings,” Jirele said.

The Village Geek brings gaming, coffee to downtown Manhattan LEAH ZIMMERLI
McPherson, Kansas, has been in operation for about six years, and Litwiller has the same goal of running a clean, comfortable and convenient game store in downtown Manhattan. The Village Geek benefits from its unique premise, eliminating most competition. “Our biggest competitor is probably Amazon, but you’ll never match the one-on-one attention and face-to-face interaction that we provide,” Litwiller said. Litwiller said The Village Geek strives to create an environment where a grandma bringing her grandson to buy a game and
THE COLLEGIAN
People come to The Village Geek for the board games, but stay for the sense of community, drinking it in one Pokemonthemed coffee drink at a time. “Board games are a really great way to be social,” Jed Litwiller, one of the store’s owners, said. “It’s something that you can do besides drinking or going to the movies. It’s a little more social; it’s a little more intellectual and cerebral.” Their first location in
a hardcore Magic: The Gathering player can relax and feel just as comfortable, which helps welcome new players.

“We want to be a store that encourages new players,” Litwiller said. “When we host tournaments; they’re pretty casual. We schedule a lot of learnto-play events, which helps people feel more comfortable investing their time and money
into games.” With more and more new games hitting the market, The Village Geek’s staff works to keep their inventory full of the best games. “Right now, it’s like a fire hydrant of new games coming out,” Litwiller said. “There’s an average of ten new board games coming out a day, which is really hard to keep up with. Our goal is to have the best selection in the area and keep our finger on
the pulse of gaming.” The store provides everything new gamers need to get started, including a space to play and events to meet other people interested in the same games. “I know a lot of people that have made really close friends through our stores, and that’s our primary mission,” Litwiller said. “We’re building a community through games.” The Village Geek fos-
ters close ties between people through their events, and Litwiller finds that the common interests provide a sense of community to everyone. “There are a lot of people out there who aren’t in school, they don’t go to church or something like that, and they want a community to be a part of, and that’s what we provide,” Litwiller said. “We give people a place where they can feel like they belong.”

Baseball team set to play against OSU in Manhattan weekend series JARRETT WHITSON THE COLLEGIAN
The Kansas State baseball team will welcome the Oklahoma State Cowboys to town this weekend for a three-game series. K-State is currently 15-14 on the season, while Oklahoma State is 15-11-1. The Cowboys are second in the Big 12 with a 4-2 conference record, while the Wildcats are tied for second-to-last place with a 2-4 conference record. As a team, the Wildcats are batting with an average of .277 and defensively they have allowed a batting average of .292. The pitching staff has an ERA of 5.21, and has allowed 184 total runs and 28 home runs on the season. The Cowboys are hitting with a .253 batting average and have hit 22 home runs this season. Their pitchers have an ERA 5.19 and have given up just 13 homers. K-State’s best offensive player
has been sophomore outfielder Will Brennan. Brennan leads the team with a batting average of .372. He is also the team leader in runs scored (31), hits (45) and is second on the team with an on-base-percentage of .458. Sophomore pitcher Kasey Ford has led the way on the mound for the Wildcats. Ford has a 4-1 record. He has pitched 44.2 innings this season. Ford’s ERA is 4.43 and he has given up 22 runs and opponents are hitting at a .260 average against him. Colin Simpson leads the way with the bat for the Cowboys. The sophomore catcher has a team-leading 33 hits, 28 RBIs and eight home runs. Oklahoma State’s best pitcher might be junior Carson Teel. Teel has pitched the most innings of all Cowboy pitchers with 38. He has a 3-1 record and has mastered three saves. Teel has allowed two homers all season and boasts and ERA of just 2.84. In its last game out, Oklahoma
State lost to No. 22 Wichita State, 7-5. The game was tied up at 5-5 going into the seventh inning, but the Shockers scored two runs that inning to outlast the Cowboys. Prior to falling to Wichita State, Oklahoma State got a series sweep over TCU, who was previously ranked No. 18 in the country but has since fallen out of the Top 25. The last game for K-State saw it fall to Creighton 8-3. The Bluejays scored all eight of their runs in the first two innings, with three coming in the first and five in the third. That scoring outburst out of the gate proved to be too much for the Wildcats. K-State made a comeback effort with three total runs in the seventh and eighth innings, but it was not enough. The series was originally scheduled to be a Friday-Saturday-Sunday series, but has been moved to Saturday-Sunday-Monday due to anticipated weather on Friday. The series will begin at 2 p.m. Saturday inside Tointon Family Sta-

KSDB REVIEW: Twin Peaks’ latest album a folk-psychedelic fusion MONICA BRICH
THE COLLEGIAN
Twin Peaks was rocking it last year with the amount of singles they released, and they decided to release them as an album, aptly named “Sweet ‘17 Singles.” If you haven’t listened to Twin Peaks before, I like to describe them as folk meets psychedelic, which overall makes them sound very ‘70s. The first song, “Tossing Tears,” falls more on the psychedelic side, and it works really well with the song. I imagine psychedelic as being kind of in a trance, which can be confusing, and the song is about the singer not knowing what other people want him to say or do. The “na na” harmonies at the end of the song just further the trance-like feel, and make the song really cool. The album switches to upbeat and fun with “Under the Pines.” It’s not that the lyrics are super positive (“And now we walk together / Down a dark road, unafraid / With our shadows intertwined forever / On a moonlit promenade”), but the upbeat “la las” sung behind the chorus mixed with the trumpets that enter halfway through the song make it a great song to dance along to. The tone is immediately switched again with “Shake Your Lonely.” It’s about a boy who’s upset, drinking and smoking excessively. The singer keeps reassuring him
that life is going to get better. The song is very relaxing and reassuring, and it’s definitely a song I’m going to keep revisiting. “Sun and the Trees” is a predominately instrumental track. The saxophone solo is truly amazing, and overall this is a very great transition song. This is followed up by “Come for Me,” which isn’t my favorite on the album. I was pleasantly surprised by the harmonica, though. I don’t hear artists use harmonicas much anymore. “Fat Chance” shows the more folksy side of Twin Peaks. “But I ain’t often home, keep company but feel alone / All the sights to see, I know where I could be / I’m a lonesome boy, but loneliness pairs well with joy / All in all live, and learn what you can give that’s free.” I could definitely imagine Bob Dylan singing a song like this. The next song, “Blue Coupe,” is one of the singles I previously heard, and it’s still probably my favorite from the album. I love the mix of acoustic guitar, piano, maracas and what sounds like a güiro (the wooden fish-looking instrument people played in elementary school music class, and another underutilized instrument in my opinion). I wouldn’t describe it as a nonsense song, but the lyrics don’t really have a point to them because the focus is on the music. “On the Line” is unlike anything I’ve heard from
Twin Peaks before. The vocalist’s voice seems to change, and the song is slow and beautiful. It’s also incredibly short, which makes me want to hear even more music like this from the band. “With You” is the perfect partner to “Blue Coupe.” It’s also a lot of fun and plays around with different instruments. What those instruments are, I couldn’t tell you. Also, the acoustic guitar sounds different during the chorus. I’m not sure if it’s in a different key than what I usually hear, or if there’s another reason why it sounds different, but I really like the result. I didn’t know if I would like “Just Because” at the beginning, because the whistles were a little annoying. But I really like the lyrics and the meaning behind them. “Just because I want you / Doesn’t mean that I want what you need / And just because you’re thinking what I’m thinking / Doesn’t mean you’re really thinking about me.” The lyrics aren’t really slow and depressing in the background, so it sounds more matter-of-fact than a sad song. “In the Meadow” is another one of my favorites. The instrumentals are way louder than the vocals because, again, the focus is supposed to be on the music. The lyrics are nothing special, but the instrumentals are really upbeat and fun. I always love when the last song wraps up the album,

It’s a purely instrumental song, and it incorporates a lot of the genres and moods that were played in the album. The one problem I had with this album is that, since they were all pre-released singles, it didn’t feel like an album. The songs weren’t
organized in a way that they flowed well from one to the next. Then again, most people don’t listen to albums from beginning to end anyways, so that’s just a minor complaint. Overall, I really liked this album, and I wouldn’t be surprised if it became one of my favorite releases of the year.
