K-State’s student body VP got accepted to Cornell and didn’t go. Here’s why.
SYDNEY HOOKSTRA THE COLLEGIAN
Ali Karamali, junior in chemical engineering, said he took a unique path to college: he chose to attend Kansas State University despite getting accepted to Cornell University, an Ivy League school in Ithaca, New York, and having never visited K-State in the first place. After graduating from Olathe East High School in Kansas, Karamali said he applied to 17 schools across the nation. He had the opportunity to attend an Ivy League school, but he said it wasn’t the right time to go. “I only applied to K-State because my mom wanted me to apply in-state and be close to home,” Karamali said. “I went to K-State on a whim.” Karamali’s father was born and raised in India and had to drop out of middle school after his father, Karamali’s grandfather, died. He then began working so his siblings could keep attending school. Karamali’s parents eventually met in India, he said, and got married. They moved to America in their early 20s with no connections and started out on their

he was worried about pleasing other people. In college, Coker said she has seen growth in the way he leads.

Minute in My Shoes: A student keeping K-State in the family to follow her dreams by Gabrielle Albertson Growing up in Kansas her whole life with purple-clad parents, Lauren Cooper, senior in apparel and textiles, said she knew she was going to be a Kansas State Wildcat someday. From the beginning, Cooper said attending K-State was a family tradition. “Both my parents and my brother went here, and I grew up coming to games here,” Cooper said. “I was already comfortable in the environment, and I didn’t really apply to go anywhere else. This is the only place that I wanted to go to.” In fact, K-State is where Cooper’s parents first met through a mutual friend, she said. Before they knew it, Cooper’s dad was getting down on one knee and proposing. They’ve been together ever since, raising three children. “He proposed to her at one of the hills by Tuttle Creek overlooking the water,” Cooper said. From a young age, Cooper said she has always been fond of fashion, but she didn’t know she could major in it until she came across it at K-State. “I chose my major because I always really liked clothing,” Cooper said. “Ever since I was little, I always was interested in what was coming out next and dressing a little bit more mature than some of my other friends when I was really young.” As a little girl, Cooper would play dress up in her mom’s clothing and put on her high heels. Not only did she like the fashion, but she said she aspires to be like her mom.

“He has made more of a point to be a voice for other people as opposed to [being] the voice for just himself,” Coker said. Karamali ran for student body vice president of K-State alongside Jansen Penny, junior in industrial engineering and now student body president. Penny and Karamali ran on a platform of empowering students. As a freshman, Karamali met Penny when they both earned a Student Governing Association senate position for the College of Engineering. “I was brand new to the College of Engineering and didn’t have any contacts,” Penny said. “The first time we interacted was when we took pictures together for senate, and we really didn’t interact much ... until we both applied for chief of staff and we both didn’t get that [position].” Penny said he met with Kara-

“My mom has never pressured me to do anything that I don’t want to,” Cooper said. “But there are standards. ... You kind of need a college degree just because, when you have one, it’s kind of easier to get jobs no matter what you studied.” Cooper said her mom has always told her she has to be responsible and committed in her
mali a month later, which led to Penny asking him to run alongside him as student body vice president. “I wanted someone different from me, but still held all the same values as I did for K-State, and that is definitely what I got out of our first conversation,” Penny said. The two ended up running unopposed for their executive positions due to regulation violations that resulted in the disqualification of the other candidates. “In all of the different controversies, it was him and I together,” Penny said. “We have been through some of the most stressful times; having done that together really sets us up for the future. It was a big team effort and I wouldn’t have been able to do it without him with me the entire time.” Karamali said only having 12 months in office makes it difficult to implement a lot of change, but he and Penny want to tackle bigger issues because they set out to make a lasting difference in the school. “He makes it fun and other-person-oriented, rather than a
‘You need to get this done because I say so’ type of thing, and I think their platform speaks to that,” Coker said. Through the duration of his time in office, Karamali said his end-goal is to make sure every student feels more empowered so they can speak their mind, be open-minded and be leaders in their own groups. After graduating from K-State, Karamali said he hopes to attend law school at an Ivy League college to learn how to be a patent lawyer. He said if he could choose right now, he would pick Yale University. “This time around, it feels like it will be the right time, and I’ll feel like I’m ready for it,” Karamali said. Karamali said his dream is to one day start a nonprofit focusing on education in developing areas and countries. He said he saw firsthand what both of his parents had to endure and, like them, there are so many people smart enough to attend school who don’t get the opportunity to do so.
life, but being happy is also important. “You have to be willing to do something with your life, but she never made it [out] like you have to have this job and you have to make this much money,” Cooper said. “If you’re happy and you can make a living, whether it’s a lot or a little, then we’re a success in her eyes. So, I just think that’s something that kind of takes the stress off of life.” Cooper said she hopes to work one day in the corporate side of a business, ideally for a retailer working on their branding.
“There’s a lot of PR that goes into it and reaching out to other companies to see if they’ll advertise for you,” Cooper said. “Also, social media is a really big part of that because everybody is on it, so if you’re not on Instagram or Twitter, then you’re behind the curve.” With a family like Cooper’s, she said nothing is going to stop her. She has purple running through her veins between her parents meeting here and her older brother attending K-State, so it’s a university that feels like home.

Black Student Union adviser receives Big 12 Conference award RACHEL BROWNE THE COLLEGIAN
The University of Missouri’s Legion of Black Collegians recognized Brandon Clark, Black Student Union adviser and student programs coordinator for diversity and multicultural student affairs, with an award at the annual Big 12 Conference on Black Student Government in late February. In addition to Clark’s role as the BSU adviser at Kansas State University, he also serves as the adviser for the Big 12 Council on Black Student Government, which is a regional governing body made up of delegates from every university in the Big 12 Conference. Every year, black student unions within the Big 12 gather at the conference, but this year, Clark was recognized for his many years of service and dedication within the Big 12 Council. “Although the University of Missouri is no longer in the Big 12 athletic conference, they still participate in our council and the conference,” Clark said. “It was their turn to host the conference
this year, and I really helped and advised in getting things ready for the conference. As a way to show their gratitude, they gave me this award.” As the adviser for the Big 12 Council, Clark assists, advises and supports all black student unions within the conference, but he said he did not expect to receive an award for it. “I had never been given an award for doing that before,” Clark said. “I was grateful for it. It was not required, needed or asked for, but it was certainly a surprise. To give me this award was basically a thank you for my help, but also recognizing and appreciating my years of service to the Big 12 Council.” Clark’s years of service have not gone unnoticed for students in the BSU at K-State, either. Del’Sha Roberts, BSU president and senior in biology, said she thought Clark was very deserving of the award. “Clark’s been doing work in diversity for a very long time, and he definitely knows what he’s doing,” Roberts said. “He knows what things should look like and what they shouldn’t look like, so
he’s just very helpful in that aspect. ... Clark’s very personable, and when you need something, he can help you find resources. He’s overall a great person.” While Clark was appreciative of his award, he said he finds his job rewarding on its own. “My favorite part of my job, whether that be here at K-State or working with the Big 12 Council, is of course the students,” Clark said. “I am a product of these organizations, like the Black Student Union. I was BSU president many years ago when I was an undergraduate student here at Kansas State University. I was a delegate and participant in the Big 12 Council on Black Student Government, and those organizations really helped to shape and mold me and helped me through my undergraduate years.” Now working in student affairs, Clark said students continue to inspire him to do all that he does with passion and determination. “I want to make sure that they’re successful and able to successfully navigate their way through the university, and that’s my main motivation,” Clark said.

How K-State and Fort Riley work together to recycle local waste MIK FOX
THE COLLEGIAN
Walking across campus, blue bins can be seen scattered in various locations, usually next to regular trash cans. Many students likely walk past them every day on their way to class and don't give them a second glance. These blue bins are for recycling, of course, and there are over 66 blue bins on campus. However, they are not there just to help the environment — these bins have an impact that reaches beyond campus boundaries. The recycling program on the Kansas State University campus has several decades of history. The program was established in 1989 through grants and funds that made it possible to purchase equipment needed to process different types of recyclable
materials. The committee that oversees K-State recycling was formed in 1998. The committee is made of students, faculty, staff and representatives from the Division of Facilities. In order to reduce waste and decrease management costs, the committee’s goal is to expand efforts to recycle on campus. To learn more about the complete recycling process at K-State, the committee recently took a field trip to the recycling center located on base at the nearby Fort Riley, which is where all the recyclable materials from K-State eventually end up for further processing. Chris Otto is the recycle and solid waste coordinator for the Department of Public Works environmental division at the Fort Riley Recycling Center, and he explained where recyclable
materials go after arriving at Fort Riley. “Since we are a not-forprofit government agency, we sell any recyclable materials, and the profits from those go into a [Qualified Recycling Program] expense account,” Otto said. “After we pay for salaries, the people that work here and all of the operations and maintenance, anything left over, we invest back into the installation [at Fort Riley].” Contributing to the K-State recycling program, which in turn contributes to the Fort Riley program, allows K-State to contribute to the morale, welfare and recreational opportunities for soldiers who live and work on the base, Otto said.

K-State’s PRSSA chapter offers new opportunities for PR majors EMMA SNYDER
THE COLLEGIAN
There are many student organizations within the A. Q. Miller School of Journalism and Mass Communications, but the Public Relations Student Society of America is one that helps students develop their career skills and knowledge of public relations during their time at Kansas State University. The PRSSA is a national organization that seeks to educate students studying public relations through various local chapters. K-State’s PRSSA chapter consists of an executive board of students focused on cultivating their skills and networking with other students and professionals in the field. “We attend conferences, networking events and put on agency tours throughout the year,” said Ana Landsverk, K-State PRSSA vice president and senior in public relations. “For instance, some of our members were able to travel to Austin, Texas, for a national conference where members of PRSSA at schools across the country get together to learn more about the field.” PRSSA is the daughter organization of the Public Relations Society of America, a national organization where industry professionals work to further educate and advance the fields of public relations and strategic communi-

cations. K-State PRSSA members participate in a wide variety of recruiting and networking opportunities. Members can attend both regional and national conferences, as well as local professional development workshops put on by the greater Kansas City area PRSA chapter. “In addition to these opportunities, PRSSA members can participate in recruitment efforts for our chapter through Kansas State events such as Kedziepalooza, the activities fair and other JMC events that promote professional development or career prep,” said Ana Siggers, K-State PRSSA president and senior in public relations. Members also have the chance to participate in agency tours each semester where they travel to larger cities near Manhattan and interact with professionals and their employees in the workplace. “It is a unique way to network while getting a sneak peek into what a day in the life looks like at their office,” Siggers said. “We also make an effort to bring in JMC alumni and industry professionals to speak about their career journey and how PRSSA and PRSA have aided them in
their career.” K-State’s chapter also offers local opportunities for members to share their knowledge with others. Members of K-State PRSSA spoke to a journalism class at Manhattan High School on Tuesday morning about studying public relations in college. “The juniors and seniors were all actively engaged, and it was exciting to share some knowledge regarding public relations with students who are potentially looking to enter the communications field,” Siggers said. K-State’s PRSSA chapter has opened new doors for its members and continually assists them in cultivating their skills as pre-professionals and preparing them for future careers in the industry. “My favorite part about PRSSA is the knowledge and networking opportunities it has provided me,” Landsverk said. “I have gotten to know and meet many industry professionals and even formed closer bonds with my peers in public relations. It has been one of the best things I've ever done in college.” Students interested in joining the PRSSA at K-State can attend a biweekly meeting or visit the chapter’s website for more info.

“Anything we get into the center that we sell comes back to benefit the soldiers after we pay for operations to the recycling center,” Otto said. “We have bought boats for the marina, we have updated the bowling alley and a good amount of what we reinvest in comes from [the recycling center].” Fort Riley is currently working with the Environmental Protection Agency to research recycling opportunities and achieve net zero waste. The Net Zero Waste program is an initiative implemented in 2011 by former president Barack Obama’s ad-
ministration to help reduce waste on military bases. In 2016, the Fort Riley recycling center was able to install an automated sorter to separate recyclable materials. The stateof-the-art facility is able to process about 1,600 tons of recycling per month. The sorter uses different technologies to separate the various materials accordingly. While the sorter does most of the work, it is not always able to separate materials correctly because of contamination in the materials themselves. One of the biggest issues for the recycling center, Otto said, is contamination of the various recyclables that come through the facility. “It takes a considerable amount of time longer for our limited staff to sort through things
when there is a high level of contamination,” Otto said. Recyclables are considered contaminated when things such as dirty diapers or dead animals are in the recycling bins. Bill Spiegel, K-State’s recycling supervisor, said convenience is key in getting students and faculty to participate in recycling. Located straight north of Moore Hall in what was formerly known as the Wind Erosion Research Building, the K-State Recycling Center is open 24 hours per day so students and faculty can drop off recyclables. Items that can be recycled at K-State’s facility include all plastics numbered one through seven, paper products and aluminum or tin cans. Cardboard and glass are accepted in separate bins.

Tuition committee no longer discussing departmental fees for time being RACHEL HOGAN THE COLLEGIAN
With numerous departments at Kansas State University passing increases to departmental fees in recent years, the Tuition and Fees Strategies Committee decided at a meeting Tuesday evening that it will no longer review proposals related to departmental fees until a proper process for evaluating such fees is created. Provost Charles Taber suggested the temporary suspension, also known as a moratorium, after having already communicated the idea to the deans of K-State’s colleges. The moratorium comes after the committee approved fee increases for the Institution of Personal Financial Planning and the Department of Apparel, Textiles and Interior Design.
The debate on departmental fees is at least a year old. In 2018, the committee raised concern over the precedent set by two fees, one for the Institute of Personal Financial Planning and another for the Department of Kinesiology. Some committee members expressed concern last year that the two fees would “open the floodgates” to other “frivolous” fee increases. After Tuesday’s meeting, Ryan Kelly, co-chair of the committee, former speaker of the student senate and junior in communication studies, said the debate on departmental fees is related to a want for fairness among K-State’s many departments. “A perception of what this could look like is that two departments in one college are getting a bunch of money because they’re doing great things, and if you decide that those two departments have need, then why aren’t you saying that the rest
of the departments across campus have need?” Kelly said. “So really, it becomes an issue of, when you accept two of them, you set the precedent where you have to accept a lot more.” During the meeting, committee members discussed the need to create a new fee evaluation process tailored to departmental fees. “I think we’ve kind of gotten to a place where we’ve had a few now, and we don’t necessarily want to see more until we know exactly how we’re going to evaluate them year after year,” said Jordan Kiehl, co-chair of the committee, former student body president and senior in industrial engineering. Kiehl said creating that new process would include conversations with people outside the committee while the university works toward implementing differential tuition, which could eliminate the need for

departmental fees. The committee also decided to move the deadline for fee proposal submissions to Dec. 1. This year, the deadline was Nov. 2. This was moved up from the previous deadline of Feb. 1. “Talking to the deans, we’ve come to know that deadline might be a little too early for them to fully talk with students during that semester and make sure they’re getting all the input that they need to then put a proposal forward to the provost,” Kiehl said. Taber said the new deadline of Dec. 1 will allow deans to create more detailed fee proposals as it provides more time for deans to communicate with and survey students. “I appreciate the extra month for the deans, and I think you’ll be getting better information with that extra month for the proposals,” Taber said.

Engineering dean to become president of UA Huntsville this summer JULIE FREIJAT
THE COLLEGIAN
The dean of the College of Engineering, Darren Dawson, will leave Kansas State University to pursue a future as the president of the Uni-
