April is National Poetry Month and to celebrate, the American Ethnic Studies Student Association is hosting an open mic night every Thursday evening this month leading up to a final poetry slam next Thursday. “The ‘Hi I Am Poetry Slam’ is a slam where people talk about their identity,” said Shaun Dowdell, senior in American ethnic studies and president of the association. “So we want people to spend three minutes and basically describe who they are based off of their experiences. If people discuss themselves and who they are, then we might be able to get a better grasp for that person. You feel that person’s struggle, and it’s not just them struggling; you’re struggling collectively in the audience with them. It’s going to be a very unique experience for people.” In order to participate in the poetry slam, poets must audition during one open mic night, which are held every Thursday evening in Hale Library. Ten participants will be selected from these events. “This event appealed to me because I love poetry,” Curtis Wilson, freshman in open option, said. “It can tell a lot about a person and show you what they’re going through or how they feel about something.” With the American Ethnic Studies Student Association, the American ethnic studies and English department hope to create an outlet for the campus as a community. For Valerie Corpening, junior in american ethnic studies, the association gives her an environment and the freedom to express who she is. “(It’s) a place where you can be comfortable while your surroundings are diverse,” Corpening said. “It means future leaders in multicultural studies and diverse high political positions. AESSA is a look at the future.” Dowdell said the organization had protested cases where individuals were killed by law enforcement in recent years, and supports a message of accepting people for who they are. “We all have different backgrounds, but when do we take charge?” Dowel said. “When do we send out a message? When do we hold ourselves accountable and hold the police accountable? So how does your identity affect you? When it comes to (the murder of Walter Scott), again, this isn’t something that just started; it’s happening and it just happened. How does this relate to your identity?” The poetry slam will consist of two rounds. In the first round the poets will have a few minutes to present an original poem beginning with “Hi I Am ... “ and the four highest scores will advance. During the second round, poets will have five minutes to perform any original poem related to their identity and the top four scorers will receive cash prizes of $25, $50, $75 and $100, respectively. The third open mic will take place tonight from 6-8 p.m. in room 301 at Hale Library. Next Thursday’s final poetry slam will be at 7:30-9 p.m. in the K-State Student Union’s Cottonwood Room.

TODAY IN HISTORY
1564:
Out of Michael Miller’s time working as an FBI agent, he said his favorite thing to do is process dead body scenes – not because he likes it, but because he is good at it. Miller, a special agent of the Federal Bureau of Investigation, has worked directly with crime scenes for 15 of his 17 years serving in the bureau. While he currently works for the Kansas City FBI branch as a member of the evidence response crew, Miller spoke at K-State Wednesday night about his job and experiences at the agency. K-State’s Kappa Sigma Upsilon chapter of the American Criminal Justice Association sponsored his presentation at the K-State Student Union. Early in his speech, Miller discussed why he decided to pursue law enforcement. “My friends were my biggest influencers for entering into law enforcement,” Miller said. “Mostly because many of them cops, which gave me insight on what I could do to help with the criminal justice system.” After joining the FBI at age 36, Miller has now worked at agencies in 38 states. The agency employs nearly 35,000 people, according to the bureau’s website. There are many jobs within the FBI, from intelligence analysts and scientists, to language specialists and special agents, all of whom use their different talents to achieve the agency’s mission. “The mission of the FBI is to work toward finding those involved in criminal activities, such as Title 18 federal statutes, crimes in kidnapping, terrorism, counter intelligence, hacking, cyber security and stealing government money, public corruptions, color of law issues, transnational criminal organizations and white color and violent crimes,” Miller said. While terrorism seems to be growing and is a major area of focus for the bureau, Miller said the Internet overall helps in catching terrorists. “Our main priorities right now are to protect the United States from terrorist attacks, which we have seen escalate from online terrorist groups,” Miller said. “The Internet actually hurts rather than helps them, because the FBI receives calls about online terrorists that seem to have bad intentions, which we then pretend to conspire with them, while we are actually luring them in so that we can secretly catch them.” Miler said that protecting civil rights is a top-five priority, as well as cyber security and public corruption, and that the FBI keeps an eye on people in law enforcement that abuse their authority by intimidating average citizens for their personal benefit. While working to eliminate the bad intentions in people and public disturbances, Miller said he sometimes wonders if it is enough. “We accomplish so much and catch enormous amounts of criminals, but I still go to bed every night wondering what is still out there and what we are missing because there is always bad in the world,” Miller said, “And though we minimize the amount, it is still hard to think about.”

Navigating students’ need for primary care physican By Miles Updike the collegian College is not only about forming new relationships and obtaining that elusive degree, but also (maybe most importantly) learning how to live on your own. Sure, we’ve probably all figured out how to get three meals in our stomachs daily. We may have even learned how a washing machine works, too, although getting the clothes out of the dryer may take a few days. Taking care of ourselves when we’re sick, though, isn’t quite as straightforward. Many of us may treat our illnesses with the trustworthy trifecta of DayQuil, NyQuil and Advil (no matter our ailment) and cross our fingers hoping that it’s nothing more serious. For these students like Rob Sharemet, junior in geography, the doctor’s office is uncharted territory. “It’s been close to two years since I’ve been to a doctor’s office,” Sharemet said. For those a little more cautious about their health, or if those aforementioned remedies aren’t getting the job done, a visit to the doctor tends to be the next course of action. Deciding to see a doctor while at college brings up a few extra considerations. If you’re from somewhere nearby, you
could drive home and see your personal doctor, or you could choose to stay in Manhattan. If you decide to stay here, you have the option of seeing any doctor who will see you at the time, or you could begin seeing a specific local doctor. “Whenever I get sick and the medicine around the house isn’t helping, I go to Lafene and see what they can do for me,” Josh Wilson, junior in food science, said. “I don’t really get sick often enough that I would think about having a personal doctor at school.” This seemed to be a common course of action for students. Easton Fry, senior in business administration, also uses Lafene and similar services. “If I need to see a doctor, I just go to Lafene or an urgent care facility,” Fry said. “Whichever can see me the fastest.” Staying local for your health care can have its benefits. Knowing what types of illnesses are affecting people locally will more than likely help a doctor in diagnosing you, and there are also the ever-important factors of speed and practicality. Fry, who is from Wichita, addressed the possible decision students face of going home to see a doctor. “Unless it was something serious, there’s no way I would go all the way home,” Fry said. “Staying in Manhattan is a lot

quicker for me than driving back, so it just makes more sense to stay here.” Though many students choose whichever doctor will see them, there are benefits to having a personal doctor, either in your hometown or in Manhattan. A doctor who you’ve seen regularly will know much more about your past illnesses and the way your body responds to them. This can help your doctor better understand what medicine to prescribe you and, if needed, what kind of
specialists are right for you. According to a October 2010 Scientific American article, “having a regular clinician of that kind makes you a better patient because you trust the advice you receive and so are more likely to follow it; it also gives you access to someone who attends to the whole person, not just one body part.” Accessibility is also another huge advantage in that personal doctors are also much easier to contact. Rather than being put on hold and led through a seemingly endless

cision to stay local for their medical care, but don’t decide to have a personal doctor in the area. While it can be beneficial to have a personal physician to see while away at college, it’s not crucial. Ultimately, deciding how and where you want to handle your medical needs is your decision.

Lilly Pulitzer line flies off Target shelves, leaves shoppers wanting more
llustration by Sonia Kumar
Undergraduate program receives grant from National Science Foundation K-State’s Research Experience for Undergraduates program has received more than $312,000 worth of funding, enough to support the program for the next three years, as a part of the eighth renewal of funding for the program. According to K-State Today, this funding will cover the training of nine students to conduct summer research at K-State for the next three years. K-State’s Biology REU program is one of the longest-running of the programs in the nation, and has been continuously funded for the past 21 years. “Through our REU program, students are learning from and training alongside K-State experts in the fields of ecology and evolutionary biology, and climate change,” Bruce Snyder, coordinator of K-State’s REU program, said in the
news release. “They discover what it is like to do independent research and decide if research is something they want to continue beyond their bachelor’s degree.” In its 21 years of funding, more than 200 undergraduate students have participated in the REU program. “Our REU program has been highly successful in terms of the quality of students we attract and produce,” Ted Morgan, associate professor of biology, said in the news release. “Nearly all of the REU students go on to earn graduate degrees, several return to K-State for graduate school, and some are now in tenure track positions at universities. The program has a two decade legacy of excellence in undergraduate research training at K-State, and many of our former participants have become emerging leaders in our field.”
By Sonia Kumar the collegian Target has been well known for its designer collaborations from Missoni, Rodarte, Altuzarra, 3.1 Phillip Lim and (the latest) Lilly Pulitzer. Before the Lilly Pulitzer collaboration, however, Target’s designer collections have been on a decline since the Neiman Marcus Holiday fiasco. According to the May 20, 2014 SC Times article “Target Faces Identity Crisis in Midst of Profit Decline,” Target has “tripped up on some of its designer collaborations. During the holiday 2012 season, its collaboration with posh retailer Neiman Marcus turned out to be a dud as the merchandise was criticized for being too expensive, among other things.” On the other hand, the Lilly Pulitzer’s collection’s success surpassed all expectations. Instead of easy, breezy browsing, the Target website crashed due to the excitement. Some orders were even able to be made before the 7 a.m. opening windows. Lines were wrapped around the stores, racks were emptied in mere minutes and many were left upset with nothing to take home. “I liked all the bright colors and new fun-summer-garden-party theme,” Marisa Sotelo, junior in industrial engineering said, “I wanted the gold pineapple sanders and the lawn chairs. I was very upset that they sold out so quickly, but it was a little expected.” What makes the situation even more frustrating is that there are at least 26,000 Lilly for Target items on eBay, according to an April 21 article on Racked. Although this translates to only 1.5 percent of the collection, it still leaves customers frustrated with the high markups. To give you an idea, the $30 coffee mug set I wanted ranged anywhere from $60-$130 on eBay. What makes this collection so different from normal Target collections is that the collection actually looks like the designer, and the prices were affordable for the quality of the pieces. “I own a few things from Lilly Pulitzer and I like most of the items they have,” Holly Audiss, junior in mass communications, said. “I think it’s really great that they made a line for Target, because it is normally really high priced and it’s great more people can afford it.” Previous designer collaborations, like the notorious Neiman Marcus collection, failed because designers were selling items they weren’t known for at extremely high prices.

sold stationary, Derek Lam sold a skateboard and even Jason Wu (known for Michelle Obama’s inaugural gown) sold ornaments at $49.99 for a set of three. According to the Jan. 2, 2013 Time Magazine article “Epic Retail Fail: Where Did the Target + Neiman Marcus Collection Go Wrong?,” some Target shoppers complained that “designers like Tory Burch and Diane von Furstenberg, known for their distinctive clothes, turned out thermoses and yoga mats (respectively), instead. And aside from a tote many bloggers criticized as looking and feeling cheap despite an $80 price tag, Oscar de la Renta — who outfits celebrities in red-carpet looks — offered pet accessories: dog bowls and rhinestone collars.” The Lilly Pulitzer dresses sold at Target are very close to signature Lilly prints and look very similar to the highend dresses Jackie O. used to wear. Hannah Yeoman, sophomore in fisheries and wildlife conservation, said she’s been a longtime Lilly lover, loving the bright colors and irresistibly pretty patterns. “I was pleasantly surprised by the Lilly Pulitzer Target collection,” Yeoman said. “I thought they would sell things that would like kind of boring and wouldn’t have the signature type of ‘Lilly Patterns,’ but much to my surprise everything was very cute and well thought out.” Yeoman said that she had wanted to get her hands on the strapless jumpsuits, the high-waisted bikini bottoms and the hammock The housewares are also atypical for Lilly Pullitzer’s brand as they are not a section on its website, but did very well with customers. The social media for this campaign was also blown up with commercials featuring Bella Thorne, Nick Young, and Sex & the City’s Chris Noth. Even the #LillyForTarget hashtag has prevailed. Moreover, there are 250 pieces in this collection ranging from hammocks, housewares, Lilly dresses, jewelry and even shoes. In the April 16 Her Campus article “An Inside Look at Lilly Pulitzer for Target,” Jeff Jones, Target’s executive vice president and chief marketing officer said, “It truly has something for everyone at many different prices.” Although the reaction to the collaboration was unprecedented, Target has gained valuable insight on how to deal with another collection as big as this one. Hopefully eBay sellers will lower their ridiculous prices and allow those who want to dabble in Lilly Pulitzer to do so, or we’ll be forced to be a part of 7 a.m. lines too.

K-State ‘playing their best’ heading into championship WOMEN’S TENNIS
By Stephen Brunson the collegian

The K-State women’s tennis team returns to Waco, Texas and the Hurd Tennis Center today – just one week after facing Baylor in the regular season finale – for the Big 12 Women’s Tennis Championship. Despite a six-game losing skid, K-State head coach Danielle Steinberg says the No. 9-seeded Wildcats (8-16, 1-6) are playing at a high level ahead of their matchup with No. 8 Iowa State. “We’ve played probably our best tennis all season in these last two or three weeks,” Steinberg said. “We’re peaking at the right moment. It shows that the girls are working hard, because no matter what adversity we face they keep working harder each day. It paid off, because the girls are playing their best tennis right now.” Iowa State (8-14, 2-7) escaped Manhattan last month with a 4-3 victory. The Cyclones are led by Ksenia Pronina, who is 10-4 this spring. “With Iowa State, we almost feel like
it is a redemption match,” Steinberg said. “We are going to come out fired up to try and get revenge. I know they will come out confident because they played a great match here. It’s probably going to be a pretty close match.” The Wildcats are lead by sophomores Palma Juhasz, Livia Cirnu, Iva Bago and freshman Carolina Costamagna. The Hungarian native Juhasz has set career marks this season in singles play with a 17 wins. “Palma had a couple rough matches a couple weeks ago, and we fixed a few things and talked about it,” Steinberg said. “Now she finally feels comfortable and is confident in her game and that shows in practice.” Bago has set a career high in wins herself with 16 this season. The native of Croatia is 9-8 this spring, including a 4-2 record at the No. 2 singles slot. Cirnu will look to surpass her win total from last year with a 17th win. Costamagna was able to upset No. 43 Breunna Addison of Texas last weekend in Austin, Texas. The freshman from Argentina has only played in seven matches this season, but Steinberg has been pleased with her contributions. “She started basically mid-season with
us,” Steinberg said. “She needed that five or six matches to get used to college tennis, to learn the game here; and I think she finally feels comfortable and it shows in her matches. She’s competitive with every No. 1 Big 12 player and has won some. So we’re happy with that.”
“We’ve played probably our best tennis all season in these last two or three weeks,” DANIELLE STEINBERG, HEAD COACH
In doubles play, the duo of Juhasz and Costamagna has put itself on a pedestal this season. The pair is ranked No. 81 in the Intercollegiate Tennis Association rankings with a record of 7-5 this season. The winner of today’s match will face top-seeded Baylor in the next round of the Big 12 Championship. “We want to be in the moment and appreciate where we are right now,” Steinberg said. “We always say that when we have fun that we play our best tennis. I just really want the girls to have fun and compete out there.”
Weber talks transfers, dismissals, incoming class MEN’S BASKETBALL
By Emilio Rivera the collegian Tumultuous: a word that seems to perfectly sum up the last half of the regular season and offseason for the K-State men’s basketball team. Some might even say “disaster” is a better word for it. With six players having transferred or been dismissed since the season ended just over a month ago, the Wildcats seem to be on the verge of a season that could spell disaster for K-State head coach Bruce Weber and his staff. On Wednesday, Weber addressed the media for the first time since the final game of the season. “Obviously, we didn’t meet the expectations or goals that we had for the season,” Weber said. “We just felt that we had
to make some changes, I think it was pretty obvious why we had to make the changes. All we can do now is move forward and worry about the guys that we have. We’re excited about the group we have coming in.” Weber came into last season with a team confident in their ability to play, fresh off of an NCAA Tournament appearance, with an experienced backcourt and some added size up front. But, as the season unfolded, the Wildcats roster didn’t handle the pressure well. “I was bothered more because if they wanted to pump themselves up, then you’d better get in the gym and work at it,” Weber said. “That’s what bothered me from the beginning; they were hyping themselves up, but you’ve got to back that stuff up and work at it. If you only come when the coaches are there, you’re not going to be special.” Signs of disconnect between the coaches and players
appeared in the middle of the season when sophomores Marcus Foster and Jevon Thomas, and freshman Malek Harris — who are all no longer with the program — served suspensions. What wasn’t known then was that Weber thought about dismissing athletes in the middle of the season. “(I stuck with them) because I believe in kids, and I want to try to give them a chance,” Weber said. “If I have a weakness, it’s that I go the extra mile with somebody to try to help them.” Weber said part of the decision not to dismiss anyone mid-season was the understanding that college students — not just athletes — make mistakes. “Kids get to college and a lot of things happen; that maturity, growing up and dealing with freedom,” Weber said. “I tell parents and I tell kids that when they get to college
the biggest difference is that they’re going to have freedom, and how they deal with freedom is a key to their success.” Moving forward, Weber and company have started fresh with a young core of role players and incoming freshman. “Obviously, we’re going to need some guys to step in and make some immediate impacts for us if we’re going to be special,” Weber said. “I don’t think there’s any doubt that it’s possible.” And that’s what is clear: Weber is excited. “We feel great about it,” Weber said. “We feel like we have guys that are excited to be here and do it the K-State way, and I didn’t have any understanding of it until I got here

and watched Coach (Bill) Snyder and what he has developed here. That family atmosphere and that hardworking work
ethic, it’s what K-State fans expect, and it’s definitely what we got to bring back to the table here and have on the court.”

FBI | Agent encourages crowd to ‘not wait to follow your dreams’ CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1 Miller’s evidence response team is similar to local crime scene investigation forces, and currently includes full-time coordinates of three teams that consist of about 10 people per team, both professional support and special agents. Taylor Tyrrell, sophomore in family studies and human services, asked Miller if his jurisdiction is just in the Kansas area or if he was allowed to branch out. “Usually local law enforcements are restricted to
certain jurisdictions,” Miller said. “However, my authority does not stop at state lines; it is all over the continental U.S.” Miller and other FBI agents working specifically in local areas have the ability to search and bring people back to the area of crime for prosecution. Miller spoke widely on the different areas of work in the bureau and how there is a wide range of opportunities for everyone to get involved, as well as the application process. “First there is an online
application, then a three-hour written test focusing on how one would react in certain situations,” Miller said. “From this they take about 10 percent of the top scores and invite them back for the written and oral exam, which they are then interviewed, and if all else goes well the FBI hires the applicant and gives them an academy date. Then, after passing the physical and medical tests, the applicants become agents.” Cora Lucia, senior in sociology and vice president emeritus of K-State’s American Criminal Justice Asso-
ciation, asked how the interviews and polygraph stage were handled, what kind of questions are asked and how the process generally works. “Usually (the questions) are drug related, and they will try and gauge you for honesty – mostly to search for major crimes,” Miller said. “They also will question you before actually giving you the polygraph because they want to see what your answers would be in a relaxed setting first. We all have skeletons in our closet, but all they really want is for you to be honest.” Gerry Bolden, fresh-
man in secondary education, asked if Miller had a favorite mission from working in the force. In response, Miller described a case involving the kidnapping of a Chicago school teacher. It turned out she had a daughter and stepson, and the daughter was dating a gang member while the stepbrother was involved in a different gang. The stepbrother had stolen money and guns from his stepsister’s boyfriend, which led to the boyfriend kidnapping the mom for leverage. Miller also discussed lo-
gistics like hours and pay. He said base-salary agents work around 40 hours each week, while special agents like Miller work 50 hours a week, which has given him enormous amounts of experience. Miller ended his presentation with some advice for students, whether they are interested in the FBI or not. “I encourage you all to strive to exceed with whatever interests you, and I stress that you not wait to follow your dreams, because the sooner the better,” Miller said. “Excel and record every step.”
