Baseball team, Silver Key host tailgate, private tour for local Boys and Girls Club

CODY FRIESEN

THE COLLEGIAN

Before the game versus TCU, the Kansas State baseball team hosted members of the Manhattan Boys and Girls Club on Thursday night for a special event in collaboration with the Silver Key Sophomore Honorary. Silver Key members hosted a tailgate for elementary and middle school students across Manhattan before the Wildcats squared off against the No. 19 TCU Horned Frogs. The Wildcats went on to win 7-4. While at Tointon Family Stadium, the boys and girls were given both a tour of the baseball facilities and the opportunity to meet K-State baseball players and coaches. The kids also got to walk on the field before the game started. The event allowed 30 members of the Manhattan Boys and Girls Club from Lee Elementary School, Marlatt Elementary School and Eisenhower Middle School to attend the game so they could see what being a college athlete is really like. Silver Key is an independent student organization created to serve K-State and the greater Manhattan area. It aims to support student activities and create a sense of community and commitment among all students. Lucy Schermerhorn, sophomore in biology, said she has enjoyed the opportunity to give back as part of Silver Key. “I was always involved in high school, so when I got the opportunity to

Abby Cheesebrough, freshman in elementary education, was just inducted into Silver Key a few weeks ago, and she said she likes the sense of community it provides.

“I felt isolated in my dorm, so I felt this was a way to get into the community and learn more about Manhattan,” Cheesebrough said. “I am going to be here for the next three or four years, so it’s an opportunity to get involved.” Members serve in the organization from April of their freshman year to April of their sophomore year, and

they choose the organizations they want to serve while they plan service opportunities. Silver Key is led by two advisers from the College of Human Ecology, Amanda Fairbanks and Kathryn Harth. The two are always looking for ways to get the group involved with the Manhattan community.

ROTC, K-State Police perform active shooter drill on campus by Sierra Staatz On Thursday, an active shooter training drill took place in Gen. Richard B. Myers Hall, including gunshots, loud noises, realistic-looking victims and staged perpetrators. Participants in the drill included cadets from the Air Force ROTC Detachment 270 and the Kansas State University Police Department, in partnership with local emergency professionals. Between 50 to 60 ROTC cadets participated along with a squad of police officers. The K-State Police created three 30-minute scenarios where cadets were either victims, shooters or bystanders in three different classrooms. The events took place between 4 and 6 p.m. and setup began at 2:30 p.m. Thursday. Participants were thoroughly checked before the event began. All cadets had protective equipment on them and weapons were checked to contain dummy rounds rather than real bullets. The building was also searched beforehand. Two years ago, K-State was one of the first schools in the country to complete an active shooter drill with ROTC cadets involved. Bradli Millington, public information officer for K-State Police, said he thinks the drill is beneficial because it incorporates the ALICE program, a training program all cadets learned. ALICE stands for alert, lockdown, inform, counter and evacuate. Its goal is to help civilians be proactive and have a plan in response to violent situations.

‘What Were You Wearing?’ exhibit shares stories of assault survivors ABIGAIL COMPTON THE COLLEGIAN

Editor’s note: This article discusses sexual assault and related crimes. Its content may be disturbing to some readers. Discretion is advised. Along the walls of the Mark A. Chapman Gallery in Willard Hall are carefully laid out outfits — uniforms, street clothes and, occasionally, a single piece of underwear. All of these outfits were hung to tell devastating stories about the clothes worn by survivors of sexual assault in an art installation known as “What Were You Wearing?” The outfits that compose “What Were You Wearing?” may come off as unassuming to some viewers due to the variety, ranging from children’s sizes to adult clothing. “None of these outfits look like what should be expected,” said Stephanie Foran, an educator involved with the Center for Advocacy, Response and Education

at Kansas State University, or CARE. Each outfit in the gallery, which is on display until Friday afternoon, shares a story about a specific incident of assault, often going into details. “The first time, I was wearing jeans and a blue T-shirt,” one description reads. “The next time, years later, I was wearing jeans and a blue T-shirt. Even today, I am wearing blue because they don’t get to take my voice, my favorite color or my ability to say ‘no’ and mean it. These are mine.” Tears are not an uncommon site in the gallery due to the overwhelming stories. The exhibit also includes copies of “Purple Cried,” a book of K-State students’ accounts of violence, trauma and sexual assault. “I think it should be mandatory,” Erika League, senior in psychology, said regarding the exhibit. “I think everyone should know about this.” Members of CARE said they feel this exhibit is important to them and others.

The goal of the exhibit is to help viewers understand that they should not make assumptions about victims of sexual assault. “There are very harmful and destructive statements which survivors of sexual assault might hear on a daily basis,” Clara Kientz, assistant director of CARE, said. “And instead of questioning their experience, the best thing that we can do is provide support and believe them and stand by them in solidarity.” CARE offers resources to students who are survivors of sexual assault and related crimes. According to their website, “CARE provides confiSarah Millard | COLLEGIAN MEDIA GROUP dential, free and voluntary A student reads one of the stories in the “What Were You Wearing?” exhibit presented services and advocacy for by CARE on April 16, 2019.

Muslim Students Association, UPC host K-State’s first annual Hijab Day EMMA SNYDER

THE COLLEGIAN

The Muslim Students Association and the Union Program Council hosted Kansas State University’s first annual Hijab Day on Thursday in the K-State Student Union. K-State’s MSA and UPC’s multicultural committee talked about the culture surrounding the hijab and give away free hijab scarves for attendees to try on. Camila Rivera, graduate student in architecture, serves as the adviser for UPC’s multicultural committee. Rivera said the MSA planned to put on a similar event last year, but they ran out of time in the school year. “When I became the multicultural graduate adviser, I posed the question of the event again, and MSA said they would love to do it and have a whole conversation about it,” Rivera said. The Hijab Day event was planned to raise awareness about the hijab and break down negative stereotypes surrounding it and other aspects of Islam, as well as provide a way to further promote diversity and inclusion on campus. “I think it’s important to show that we support all of our students, including our Muslim students, and this event is an

amazing way to show it,” Rivera said. Yusuf Ciftci, president of the MSA and sophomore in biochemistry, said the purpose of the event was to educate and inform the public about what wearing a hijab is really all about. “There’s a lot of misperceptions and a lot of biases toward the hijab,” Ciftci said. “When people see the hijab, they sort of immediately think of negative things and they think that it’s oppressive. Being from this culture, I see that that’s not true. It’s the woman’s choice to wear the hijab, and it shouldn’t be seen as a negative thing.” Aayat Kazi, vice president of the MSA, said the event was a great way to teach acceptance for the hijab and Muslim students. “With recent events in the world, the perception of Islam is negative, and we’re trying to promote otherwise one step at a time,” Kazi said. Ciftci said he is thankful for K-State and its efforts to promote diversity on campus, but events like Hijab Day are essential to further promoting the conversation regarding inclusion. “K-State has been so open and welcoming to Muslim students, and we’re very thankful for that,” Ciftci said. “MSA is aiming for people to look at Islam with a different perspective. That’s our main goal.”

First-Generation Student Lounge to serve as supportive space for students JANELLE MARNEY THE COLLEGIAN

Kansas State University revealed the First-Generation Student Lounge on Wednesday. The new lounge will serve as a meeting and gathering place for the First-Generation Student Organization and for first-generation students to come and get to know each other.

“This space is already being used by the First-Generation Student Organization,” said Rebeca Paz, assistant director for the Office of First-Generation Students. “We are hoping more first-generation students will use the lounge as a place to hangout and meet other first-generation students." “Students will be able to find others who may be in similar classes or have the same questions," she said.

"By meeting other first generation students in the new lounge, some of those questions or potential fears might be elevated.” The lounge is supposed to be just the start of a vast future for the First-Generation Student Organization. “It’s truly exciting— all of this,” said Madai Rivera, assistant director of student engagement and K-State first-generation student alumna. “To have an identity

for first-generation students is just another way of supporting those individuals." By adding the first-generation demographic into the student pool and focusing on supporting them, it helps provide an enriching experience for the students. “This is just another little thing that contributes to public experiences,” Rivera said. “We as faculty and staff are paying attention to our students. We are continuing our efforts to coordinate other activities and make sure we are meeting the needs of those students.” Even soon-to-be graduate first-generation students are excited that the First-gen-

eration Student Organization is actively growing the community. “It’s a great opportunity for incoming freshmen and transfer students that are first-generation,” Shane Torrey, senior in agricultural economics, said. “Although I’m a senior and graduating soon, this is a great opportunity for other first-generation students to learn and grow as K-Stater’s” Torrey further explained that as a first-generation student, he felt some of the unknowing emotions when he first entered college. “As a freshmen it’s always a bit nerve-racking,” Torrey said. “But for next

years’ incoming freshmen, I hope they take advantage of the new first-generation lounge to help ease some of those nerves.” The Office of First-generation Students is actively trying to involve students of all ages to be a part of the organization and their events. Upcoming, the office will host the second annual first-generation graduate reception on May 17 from 6 p.m. to 7:30 p.m. Graduating first-generation seniors will receive a green cord to wear during their commencement ceremonies to honor their achievement.

Women's golf concludes regular season at Big 12 Championship CAROLINA LEWIS THE COLLEGIAN

The Kansas State women’s golf team completed its regular season play at the 2019 Big 12 Championship on Tuesday at the Golf Club of Oklahoma in Broken Arrow, Oklahoma. Although the team finished in ninth place overall out of nine total teams, scoring a 75-over-par 939, senior Chloe Weir from Belfast, Northern Ireland, finished inside the top 10 in the individual portion of the tournament. Weir concluded her career as a Wildcat with an eighth-place finish and an overall score of 227, which is 11 over par. Over three days of competition, Weir scored 72, 78 and 77, which helped give her Big 12 All-Tournament Team accolades. The last Wildcat to place inside the top 10 at the Big 12 Championship was

Madison Talley in 2016. “Chloe played very well; she was solid all around," head coach Kristi Knight said to K-State Sports. "She had two holes that really held her up. She played probably 50 holes of great golf, two mediocre holes and two bad holes. It was a very good tournament for her." Weir said she was feeling proud and thankful for her performance this week. "Being a senior, it was really special to come out here and be able to play," Weir said. "I played some of the greatest golf of my college career. I'm really excited for the girls for next year. They're a really good team and they have a lot of talent." On Tuesday, the final day of competition, freshman Briony Bayles had the best round for the Wildcats with a score of 73, finishing in 23rd place. Sophomores Reid Isaac, Niamh McSherry and Darby Deans placed 31st, 43rd and 45th, respectively.

As a team, the Wildcats had their best score on the last day of the tournament, with a 20-over-par score of 308. In total, the team finished 75-over-par and scored 311, 320 and 308 over three days of competition. "We wanted them to start out with a more confident and aggressive mindset," Knight said to K-State Sports. "We're pleased with what we saw. They never stopped competing or battling. The conditions were really tough; the greens were really firm and fast for everyone." Meanwhile, the Texas Longhorns won their thirdstraight Big 12 Championship with a 13-over-par score of 877. Texas players were able to pick up the top five spots of the tournament, followed by an individual from Baylor. "I really liked the battle I saw in the team," Knight said to K-State Sports. "Even though the results weren't up to our expectations this week,

K-State club volleyball takes on nationals MOLLY HACKETT THE COLLEGIAN

After a season of playing and practicing, the K-State men's and women's club volleyball teams are headed to the national competitions in Denver to play in the NCVF Volleyball Championships. The tournament will run from April 18 to 20, making it a full weekend of competition. Throughout their season, both club teams have played in five or six tournaments all over the Midwest to get ready for the

national tournament. Jenalee Dickson, sophomore in electrical engineering, is a member of the women's club team, and she said she is excited for a weekend full of volleyball. "I'm excited to play teams from all over the nation," Dickson said. "We usually only play teams that are from the Midwest during the season, so when we come to nationals, we play teams from the East Coast and the West Coast. It's also exciting to see how we match up against teams from the coasts." The teams representing

K-State make up one out of the 235 schools that are attending the event. The teams played in pool play on Thursday and will continue part of the way through Friday. The teams that lose on Friday will head into challenge rounds to determine if they will move onto the playoffs on Saturday to finish out the national competition. K-State students who want to join the team can go to tryouts in early September. The club teams practice on Monday and Wednesday nights from 9 11 p.m. The teams can be con-

tacted on their website. Katie Yankovich, sophomore in mass communications, is finishing out her first season with the women's club team. Yankovich said she plans to return to the team because of the positive experience. "We just have so much potential, and will just get better because we already have the team chemistry," Yankovich said. "We also have nationals in [Kansas City] next year, so that is more motivation to be even better than the years before because it will allow friends and family to come and watch us."

I frequently take breaks from practicing just to cool down due to the heat that builds up in those rooms. More often than not, the pianos in those rooms have missing pedals or keys that stick, if they are still there at all. As a completely true story, I once got locked inside a practice room when the door knob came off as I tried to exit. The McCain Performance

Series has and continues to bring enlightenment and entertainment to our campus in the form of speakers, performers and artists. There is no doubt in the incredible work they do, and I am not saying they don’t need or deserve a renovation.

Furthermore, Millington said incorporating ALICE makes it more like a real-life situation, which is also a good training opportunity for the K-State Police. “It’ll give our guys good training in an active violence situation,” Millington said. Due to widespread coverage of school shootings in the past few decades, Millington said active

shooter training has been part of the K-State Police’s agenda for quite a while. “We’ve been training like this for a good 10 years,” Millington said. The cadets were not aware of what the situations were going to be beforehand. However, they did have a strong knowledge of the building they were in — Myers Hall is home to the Departments of Military Science and Aerospace Studies on campus. “The ROTC program is there, so it’s easier to facilitate,” Millington said.

Millington also said using a multi-level building like Myers Hall allowed for more intensive training to prepare for active shooter situations. The closest K-State has ever come to experiencing an active shooter event was in the early 2010s when there was an armed robber on the south end of campus. For any active shooter on campus, Millington said the K-State Police have a plan: assess the threat, take care of the treat and then go through the recovery process.

But let’s not forget that $150,000 from students goes to the McCain Performance Series annually, pulled from the fine arts category of the student privilege fee. The auditorium and its lobby are in superb condition when compared to the classrooms we use each and every day. McCain’s success is determined and measured by student success. We cannot value it over our own students.

I understand that the process for classroom renovation is quite different from a KSU Foundation funding program. Furthermore, we aren’t the only department suffering from poor conditions (is there still asbestos in Cardwell Hall?). Still, the proposal itself feels demeaning from the perspective of students. As an institution, we are saying that we support art and creativity, but not the artists or creators. We want to bring new music, dance and theatre to our campus, yet we neglect the students who will become our future musicians, dancers and

actors. To many music students, this project makes it feel like the university just doesn’t care about us. Money speaks, and considering where it’s being used, I don’t disagree.
