K-State linebackers have big shoes to fill this season SCOTT POPP

THE COLLEGIAN

The departure of linebacker Charmeachealle Moore was already difficult enough for the Kansas State football team going into the 2017 season. Then in early January junior linebacker Elijah Lee chose to forgo his senior season to enter the NFL draft. Just like that the Wildcats top two tacklers and playmakers are gone. 27 percent of the teams tackles a year ago are gone. There are big shoes to fill, but thankfully for the Wildcats there is no shortage of options to fill them. Head coach Bill Snyder said that there are many players capable of stepping into a starting role next season at linebacker, but three players have stood above the rest during spring practices. “I like Trent Tanking, I like Jayd Kirby, I like Sam Sizelove. I like all of them, but I think those three probably stand a step above the rest,”

Texas Tech takes over Big 12 power rankings RILEY GATES

THE COLLEGIAN

1. TEXAS TECH (32-8, 8-4) (LAST WEEK: 2) (NEXT: OSU)

Texas Tech proved to be a strong team after dropping the first of its three-game series against Kansas State. The Red Raiders came back to win the next two and then defeated New Mexico State in the midweek game to take over the No. 1 spot of the power rankings.

2. TCU (28-7, 9-3) (LAST WEEK: 1) (NEXT: BAYLOR)

TCU fell down a spot after struggling against West Virginia, losing two out of three in Morgantown, West Virginia. The Horned Frogs are still No. 1 in

the actual standings though, so all is well in Fort Worth, Texas.

3. WEST VIRGINIA (2213, 8-4) (LAST WEEK: 3) (NEXT: AT K-STATE)

Playing host to the top team in the conference, West Virginia won the series against TCU to climb up in the league standings. Don’t count the Mountaineers out just yet.

4. TEXAS (25-15, 7-8) (LAST WEEK: 5) (NEXT: NEW ORLEANS)

It was not a great week for Texas, as it dropped two out of three to Baylor, but won the final game of the series and then a midweek game against Texas State.The Longhorns will have another nonconference series this weekend. see page

bilities, it’s just about being able to get acclimated to playing every single snap every single day, and they’ve done a good job of that.” Snyder said he thinks the group is tackling as good as he had seen at any point in the spring a year ago. “I like the play of our linebackers,” Snyder said. “I think our guys are flying around better. In my observation we’re tackling better than at any time a year ago at this stage of going through spring, they’re doing those kind of things better.” With the loss of Lee and last year’s senior leaders Moore and Will Davis, senior linebacker Trent Tanking said this spring has had a different feel. “It is a little different,” Tanking said. “Last year we were going into spring ball bringing everybody back, and this year we lost four guys that contributed a lot and played the last three years.” With the losses, the competition at the linebacker spot has heated up. Tanking, senior linebacker Jayd Kirby and ju-

nior linebacker Sam Sizelove all have experience, and players like junior Da’Quan Patton, a transfer student, will also factor in at the position. “It is tough,” Sizelove said. “We have four or five guys that are playing on a first-team level. Every day you have to bring your A-game and just be disciplined. Each of us is playing aggressively and trying to make as many plays as we can.” Sizelove said that this group of linebackers is prepared to step into starting roles after working and crafting their game behind the talented departing group. “We’re trying to make sure we’re not a weak link and I don’t think that we will be,” Sizelove said. “(We’ve just) kind of been waiting and seeing great linebackers before us like (Moore) or (Lee) or (Davis) so I feel like we’re prepared for this.” The linebacking core will get their first chance to show what they can do this Saturday at the spring game in Bill Snyder Family Stadium.

Tips from professionals: How to survive this year’s allergy season LEAH RUSSELL

THE COLLEGIAN

WHAT ARE ALLERGIES?

Allergy is a broad term used to describe immune responses to proteins in the environment, said Estelle Levetin, department chairperson and professor of biological science at the University of Tulsa. It is when the immune system thinks it is protecting us, but it is reacting to harmless proteins. “There are lots of different kinds of allergies,” Levetin said.

An allergy can be a chronic condition and can develop later in life, said Carolyn Blocksome, research assistant professor for horticulture natural resources at Kansas State University. “It can be something you are born with and can also disappear,” Blocksome said.

COMMON CAUSES AND SYMPTOMS

Levetin said respiratory allergens are the most common for people and can be defined within three seasons. The first season is tree pollen season, since many of the trees that cause these allergies are polli-

nating in the spring. The second season is the grass pollen season, which starts around this time of year and will continue through mid-summer. The third season is the weed season, which usually lasts from early August through October. “One of the first plants to release allergens through its pollen are the Junipers across the great plains,” Blocksome said. “They produce great clouds of allergens that affect people.” Sneezing, itchy, watery eyes and a runny nose are all common allergy symptoms, said Julie Gibbs, assistant director for

Lafene Student Health Center. Gibbs encourages students that are experiencing such allergies to get tested to find out what is causing them. “I know my son and I are allergic to different things, but we have the same symptoms,” Gibbs said.

REDUCING SYMPTOMS

Levetin said a way to reduce these allergy symptoms is by taking antihistamines. One of the chemicals released in the human body when affected by allergies is histamine, so taking antihistamines prevents those

chemical reactions from happening. “If possible, stay indoors when the pollen levels are high, and make sure you don’t have open windows,” Levetin said. “One of the things people with bad allergies should do is shower and wash their hair when they get home, since the pollen gets in your clothing and in your hair.” Avoiding things one knows he or she is allergic to is one of the best ways to reduce symptoms, Gibbs said. “If it is something like pollen, take over-the-counter medication,” Gibbs said. “Some

people prefer Allegra or Claritin. And if that doesn’t work for you, we give allergy shots back in the clinic at Lafene.”

NATURAL REMEDIES

Levetin said more natural remedies can come from some plant-based compounds that will help decrease levels of inflammation. One of these is tea, and another popular suggestion is using local honey. “Tea is a good decongestant, and will help open your air passages,” Levetin said. “Tea has high levels of theophylline, which is an ingredient that was used in asthma medication.”

K-State students have mixed opinions on marijuana and celebrating 4/20 ETHAN MILNER

THE COLLEGIAN

Once again, 4/20 has arrived. It is known by many as a popular time to smoke. April 20, or 4/20, is also recognized by some as “Weed Day.” This number comes from the police code used by officers to report “marijuana smoking in progress.” Today is the day many people decide to “light one up,” and with social views on cannabis dramatically changing, many students on campus will be participating. When asked if weed should be legal, a Kansas State senior in family studies and human services said, “Yes, I don’t understand why alcohol is legal when weed isn’t.” The student went on to explain that she felt much less

reckless when high, compared to being drunk. “My impulse control is much better than when I’m drunk,” she said. A concern some people have, however, is how weed use can affect a student’s schoolwork and ability to learn and meet deadlines. “I’ve seen both,” the family studies major said. “I’ve seen people that it’s helped them focus a lot.” The student also went on to explain that she has seen people she knows “become lazy and drop out.” Another student, a sophomore in anthropology, said the smell of the drug gives her a migraine. When asked if she would participate in 4/20, the sophomore said, “Oh, god, no,” but also explained how she felt

that alcohol and weed were “about the same.” According to federal law, cannabis is a class-one drug, which is the same class as heroine. When asked what they thought about this fact, the family studies major said she felt it was wrong, explaining that “you can’t overdose on weed.” Michael Schiferl, a junior majoring in Psychology said, “I think it’s a little ridiculous.” “I am a Christian and don’t think it’s very good,” Schiferl said. “I understand though, that people use it as a way to cope with stuff.” The same anthropology major, choosing to remain anonymous, said, “If I actually did it, my head would explode. My brother did some very, very stupid things that

he wouldn’t have done if he wasn’t high.” Along with their opinions on marijuana’s classification, students were also asked if they considered it to be a gateway drug. “I don’t think so with most people,” the family studies major said. Now that more states have begun to legalize the drug, some students commented about how they could see marijuana becoming as casual as smoking a cigarette in public. “Since states legalizing it happened really fast, I could see it being a normal thing,” Schiferl said. According to the National Institute on Drug Abuse, a national survey found that over half of 18 to 25 year olds reported to have used marijuana at least once in their life.

Students participate in ‘A Day in Hijab’ on campus

OPINION: My experiences in hijab DENE DRYDEN

THE COLLEGIAN

Yesterday I participated in the Kansas State Muslim Students Association’s “A Day in Hijab” event, where non-Muslim women wore headscarves for a day and shared what the experience was like. Since I could not attend the evening meet-up yesterday, I am sharing my experience through the Collegian. I first heard about “A Day in Hijab” from one of my housemates who practices Islam. About six other women in my living community wore hijab yesterday, but I did not see anyone else with a headscarf until late in the morning. After going to two classes and stopping by Radina’s, I was walking back home Alanud Alanazi | THE COLLEGIAN

Event attendees share an anecdote about her day wearing the hijab during the “A Day in Hijab” debriefing in the student union on April 19.

LAUREN PETERSON THE COLLEGIAN

The Muslim Students Association hosted A Day with a Hijab on April 19. The event, held in the student union, was intended to educate K-State students on the cultural significance of the hijab and share in the experience of wearing one. In addition to wearing the hijab - a traditional scarf or veil covering the head and neck for modesty or piety, those participating were also encouraged to cover their arms and legs. Ideally, participants would also behave in a manner that is humble, respectful and peaceful. The event included a photo booth, hijab tutorials for walk in guests and was followed by a discussion of the participant's experiences. Of the participants, 54 wore a hijab throughout the day and around 30 people signed to to attend the discussion session. This idea came about as a way to start the conversation on misconceptions surrounding the scarves in light of today's cultural

intolerance. Siti Farhiah Abdul Manan, a grain science and industry Ph.D. student from Malaysia and president of the Malaysian Student Association, helped put on this event. The main point she wanted to get across is that everyone is equal, regardless of what you wear, your skin color and where you're from. "We are all the same, we are all human and students here and everyone is welcome," Abdul Manan said, "You don't have to be afraid of what people think about you because this is you and this is how you were brought up in your country." Many took part in the event to show a sense of solidarity. One such participant was Yakira Frank, a graduate student in the English program. Expecting animosity, Frank's experience was not what she anticipated. "Mostly it's how hard people try to not look at me, instead of how weird people look at me," Frank said, "I walked past a friend earlier and he was trying so hard to not look at my hijab that he

didn't recognize me." Many echoed the statement, noticing not only the change in eye contact but also a change in how they were addressed. During the discussion, some brought up being avoided and their peers making a point not to bring up how they were dressed. Putting this aside, Alex Aye, a sophomore in kinesiology, describes her experience as a positive one. She, among others at the discussion, described a connection with others in hijabs and across cultures. Aside from facing the pressure from others, the heat and wind posed noticeable challenges for participants. Aye, who works in a kitchen, struggled with the heat and maintaining her modesty in the strong winds. "I have a lot more respect for the students who do wear hijabs and wear longer sleeved attire because, wow, I could hardly survive a day like that," said Aye, "It's enlightening that they have that much commitment to their culture and their faith, it's really inspiring."

Kaitlyn Alanis | THE COLLEGIAN

Dene Dryden, freshman in English, participated in the Muslim Student Association’s “A Day in Hijab” event on Wednesday. around 10:30 a.m. when I passed another woman wearing hijab, talking with a friend. As we passed, she said “Hey, there’s a friend!” To me, this implied that I was the first person wearing

hijab she had seen, too. For the most part, the rest of my day carried on normally. see page

Study: Workplace stability increases sales performance TOM KILLILEA

THE COLLEGIAN

Researchers in Kansas State University’s College of Business Administration have found salespeople with close relationships to their coworkers are more likely to work harder. Marketing professors Edward Nowlin and Doug Walker researched relationships between coworkers in the sales industry, specifically by analyzing salespeople who work in business-to-business sales, to see which circumstances positively impact job performance.

To analyze their research, Nowlin and Walker applied five terms to the relationships. The professors looked at the “connectedness” between coworkers—or how well they fit into the work environment— as well as “internal volatility,” which measured the frequency of workplace changes. Frequent management changes meant high internal volatility, and a stable work environment meant low volatility. The professors also considered “strategic implementation effectiveness”—the application of strategy to sales work—”selling effort” and

“performance.” The researchers found that in situations of low internal volatility, connectedness increased workers’ sales efforts, which positively impacted their job performances. In other words, salespeople worked harder because they did not want to disappoint their coworkers, the researchers said. In situations of high internal volatility, the researchers found that workers without consistent managerial direction relied on coworker relationships more frequently to implement sales strategy, pos-

itively impacting job performance. Both researchers said they were not surprised by the results. “We figured that isolation is the opposite of connectedness, which hurts job performance,” Walker said, “Therefore connectedness should help your performance.” The surprise was finding that low volatility leads to selling effort and high volatility leads to strategic implementation effectiveness; there’s virtually no overlap of the two. “(It’s) like a light switch,” Nowlin said. “It’s something

Kansas defended its home field against Oklahoma State, winning two games of the series against the Cowboys. The Jayhawks do not have a great record on paper, but are staying competitive so far.

The week could not have gone any worse for Oklahoma. The Sooners were swept in a three-game series against Michigan and then pounded by Dallas Baptist 16-10. Oklaho-

ma will need to stop the losing streak fast.

7. BAYLOR (23-14, 5-7) (LAST WEEK: 8) (NEXT: AT TCU)

Baylor found some success to slightly dig itself out of a hole after winning two games against Texas. The Bears capped off that success with a win over Stephen F. Austin.

8. OSU (21-15, 4-8) (LAST WEEK: 7) (NEXT: AT TEXAS TECH)

Oklahoma State looked to

be on the rise, but two losses to KU put it back near the bottom of the power rankings. The Cowboys’ struggles continue.

9. K-STATE (19-18, 2-10) (LAST WEEK: 9) (NEXT: WV)

K-State played well in its first game against a good Texas Tech team, but then went on to lose two after that. The Wildcats did win both of the games in Tuesday’s doubleheader against New Mexico, but the season has still been rough in Manhattan.

HIJAB | Experience ‘educational and comfortable’ continued from page

A handful of friends asked if I was participating in “A Day in Hijab.” They also asked if I was warm since I wore long sleeves and pants. Otherwise, acquaintances and strangers treated me the same; I did not notice any weird looks or long stares. Only two people asked — kindly — if I was actually Muslim. I definitely noticed my identity compared to most other students had changed. As a

white person who has lived her whole life in rural Kansas, I can safely say I have always belonged to the majority. When I went to women’s choir rehearsal, I was a little surprised to see I was the only woman in the room wearing hijab. Women’s choir has forty-some women and is fairly diverse as far as race, field of study and class standing, so it would have made sense if other women there were wearing headscarves too. After editing for the Col-

legian, I finished my day by visiting my boyfriend. I did not tell him I would be wearing a headscarf. When he saw me, he remarked that my hijab looked flattering, and since he knew that the event was going on yesterday, he was not surprised that I wore one. At the end of the day, my experience wearing hijab was educational and comfortable. My biggest struggles were the wind and the heat. I believe K-State is an open, accepting community, but my story

should be taken with a grain of salt. I am a white, agnostic woman, so my everyday experiences are different than those of Muslims. Dene Dryden is a freshman in English.

that I had never before seen in my career.” Although the research studied relationships in sales, the lessons learned from the results could be applied in different settings, such as college classrooms. “A classroom is usually a low volatility situation,” Nowlin said, “so if you aren’t doing well and your classmates say, ‘Hey man, you need to pick it up, study more,’ you are more likely to do so if you are close with them and care what they think. That studying would then help your grade.” Jacob Leikam, freshman

in entrepreneurship, said he thought close relationships would negatively impact effort. “If I’m very good friends with my coworkers I will enjoy coming into work, but might be easily distracted,” Leikam said. While the study provides an idea for how to improve job performance, it is not a onestep solution, Nowlin said. “It isn’t an ‘A’ equals ‘C’ situation,” Nowlin said, “It’s more of an ‘A’ equals ‘B,’ which equals ‘C.’ It’s important to understand how you get from one spot to the other and the changes that happen there.”

Student Access Center helps students, service animals MONICA DIAZ

THE COLLEGIAN

Service animals, typically dogs or the occasional miniature horse, are animals that help people with everyday activities. Some confuse service animals with emotional support, comfort or therapy animals. However, they differ immensely. Service animals are trained for a specific task and can be seen throughout campus. Kelsey Drewelow, sophomore in open option, went

through the process that would allow him to have an emotional support animal on campus. “I was able to go to the Student Access Center, and they were very helpful,” Drewelow said. The process is different for emotional support animals and service animals, but all requests go through the Kansas State Student Access Center. In most cases, students have these animals before entering college. Students with service animals usually get their animals around the age

of 12 if they are diagnosed with an illness or disorder; however, students with disabilities or disorders that affect at least one limb can get a service animal before then. When students with service animals begin college, the Student Access Center helps them transition into college life smoothly. Nick Lander, interim associate director of Housing and Dining Services, has helped students with service animals living in on-campus housing. “If it’s a service animal, it has to meet the requirements

under the Americans with Disabilities Act,” Lander said. “That’s going to be an animal that performs a function, such as a seeing eye dog, a dog that can sense seizures — typically those types of animals.” The Americans with Disabilities Act requires the Student Access Center and Housing and Dining Services follow regulations allowing service animals on campus and in on-campus housing. The act states that service animals must have some sort of harness or leash, and they must be trained for a task.

According to the American with Disabilities Act, animals must meet one of these trained task categories: “guiding people who are blind, alerting people who are deaf, pulling a wheelchair, alerting and protecting a person who is having a seizure, reminding a person with mental illness to take prescribed medications, calming a person with Post Traumatic Stress Disorder during an anxiety attack, or performing other duties.” Jason Maseberg-Tomlinson, director of the Student Access Center, works with

students who need service animals and sees how other students react to them in classroom settings. Although these dogs and miniature horses are animals, they must be treated as another source of help, since service animals are trained to focus on a set task and their owners, not additional people. “Other students want to treat the animal like a pet and pet the animal,” Maseberg-Tomlinson said. “People need to be aware and ignore the animal and pay attention to the person.”

Movie Review: ‘Fate of the Furious’ opened April 14 hour left. That is how attached I was to this film as it neared the end. I had no idea it was even about to end.

RILEY GATES

THE COLLEGIAN

CAUTION: THIS REVIEW CONTAINS SPOILERS. Let me start off this review by shLet me start off this review by sharing that I am not a huge fan of the “Fast and Furious” series. I believe that the series has been stretched out longer than needed just because people continue to go see it. But praise to those producers; if you can make money from continually pumping out these movies, keep making them. I just feel that the series has gone on far longer than it should have. All that being said, you can imagine my hesitancy to see the eighth movie of this series. I would not have even gone had my roommate not asked me to go with him. But man, am I glad I did.

PLOT LINE

I have always felt “Fast and Furious” has the same plot line every time. It is always the core group of the series chasing some bad guy, and (what seems like) over 50 percent of the movie is just cars flying around the screen, making it impossible to follow what is even happening at the time. That is how I have always felt about these movies.

CLIFFHANGER

This one, though, was different. Dominic Toretto (Vin Diesel) ends up working for the villain, Cipher (Charlize Theron), in this movie. We do not know this until later, but it is to save the life of his son he did not know he had. Eventually, as you can probably guess, Toretto comes back, and he has been working behind the scenes the

entire time to help his team come out on top. The reason I enjoyed them adding this twist was because it finally shook up that plot line. Rather than the same characters chasing a bad guy, we finally had some spice. Sure, we all knew Toretto was not actually bad, but we felt like it throughout the film.

CONNECTION TO THE FILM I am not stupid. I understand that everything in movies is scripted and none of it is real. The reason you like or dislike a character is because that is how they have scripted the character to be. But this movie ranks near the top in “real feel” to it.

In the first few minutes, I could already tell I could not stand the villain, which is remarkable. I knew that they were depicting her to be a bad person, but I have never wanted someone in a movie to lose as bad as her. Also, I was never uninterested. In the final 10 minutes, I thought we still had another

As I said, I am not huge on the “Fast and Furious” series, because they are just dragging along a series that could have been wrapped up long ago. Same for this film. In the end, Cipher gets away, clearly setting up for a ninth movie that will ultimately lead into a tenth movie, and so on. In my opinion, they very easily could have killed her character and put a bow on the series right there. Sure, they will make nine and 10 and people will pay to go see it. But for goodness sake, draw the line somewhere. Please. We do not need “Fast and Furious 20” to ever be a thing. I entered this film thinking I would not like it, but I was blown away. It was worth every cent I paid (plus the seating in the new Manhattan theater is fantastic). No, this did not change my opinion of the series as a whole, but it definitely has me interested to see what happens with No. 9.

4-H alum 'raise hands' in support of K-State’s youth development program KAITLYN ALANIS THE COLLEGIAN

The Kansas 4-H Foundation is encouraging alumni of 4-H to “raise their hand” in support of the youth organization as part of the National 4-H Council’s overall campaign to reengage with alumni. Representatives from 4-H — Kansas State’s youth development program — tabled on Water’s Lawn April 18-19 to encourage current students who are former 4-H members to register as alumni. “A lot of people don’t realize that 4-H is K-State’s youth development program,” said Jake Worcester, president and CEO of the Kansas 4-H Foundation. “It’s part of delivering on the land grant mission of the university to take education to our

K-State students and 4-H alumni tabled on Waters Lawn April 18-19 while encouraging other former 4-H members to “raise their hand” as part of a national campaign to register alumni on April 19. communities across the state, so it’s a natural integration.” Janae McKinney, freshman

in agricultural education and a 13-year 4-H member, said she sees the connection between 4-H

and K-State every day. “4-H has honestly given me everything that I needed in college because it helped me with time management skills, organization, being able to talk to people, public speaking,” McKinney said. “All those life skills that you learn in 4-H are the real keys to staying on top of it while in college.” Worcester said he does not know how many 4-H alum are current students at K-State. “We know we have a good number of 4-H alums here at K-State,” Worcester said. “We’re happy in Kansas to participate in that, and our effort is to share with folks the opportunity to be proud of that, that they’re a 4-H product, they are 4-H grown and that there’s an opportunity to reengage with the 4-H community. Our effort is to make sure as many K-State former 4-H’ers

here at K-State reengage with us and raise their hand as proud 4-H’ers.” The top three states with the most alumni who “raise their hand” by June 30 will win a $20,000, $10,000 or $5,000 reward for their local programs. In addition, Stanion Wholesale Electric Co. Inc. is donating $2 for each hand raised in Kansas up to $10,000. Alumni can “raise their hand” by filling out an information form at www.4-h.org/raiseyour-hand. “It’s more than money,” said Hannah Fry, sophomore in agricultural education and a 12-year 4-H member. “Once you raise your hand and get your email in there, you’re kind of stuck with knowing what’s going on with 4-H, and it helps you know what you’ve done and how it makes a difference for these kids.”

Worcester said there are opportunities for former 4-H’ers to give back to the organization as soon as they leave the program. “So the sooner we engage with K-Staters who were 4-H’ers and provide them with opportunities to be part of the 4-H family again, the sooner they’ll be volunteering,” Worcester said. “We know there’s so much that K-State students could provide in terms of mentorship, friendship and leadership to current 4-H’ers.” McKinney said she is proud to raise her hand because of what 4-H stands for. “A lot of 4-H’ers want to keep giving back as they’ve grown up with 4-H and have that volunteering spirit,” McKinney said. “This is a really great way for us to contact them again and keep the spirit of volunteering going.”
