‘A spot we love full well:’ The history of Anderson Hall PHOTOS BY EVERT NELSON the collegian

Its bell tower peeks over the Manhattan skyline and rings out the time on the hour. Anderson Hall has greeted generations of Wildcats and visitors alike and has been the backdrop to thousands of photographs over the decades. Its history tells the story of the Kansas State Agricultural College and the changes that have made it the university it is today.

Evert Nelson | THE COLLEGIAN A collection of names, some painted in white, others engraved into the wood, along with custom pieces of wood, add character to the bell tower inside Anderson Hall. Some names date back to the 1920s and 30s while others show more recent dates.

CAPRICORN Dec. 22 - Jan. 19

CANCER June 21 - July 22

You’re already thinking about how hard you’re going to party as soon as the first weekend hits. I don’t need the stars to tell me your GPA is doomed.

You’re already feeling a little stressed out, just by talk of school starting up again. Hang on to your sanity, Cancer — you’re in for a rough ride.

AQUARIUS Jan. 20 - Feb. 18

LEO July 23 - Aug. 22

Why did you sign up for an 8:30 a.m. class, Aquarius? The stars say you’re going to be taking a lot more naps than notes this semester.

PISCES Feb. 19 - March 20

VIRGO Aug. 23 - Sept. 22

You’re about to get really fit this semester, Virgo. You’ll be trekking around campus, nonstop, with a backpack that’s heavier than you are.

The stars indicate a spike in social activity for you during the first few weeks of school.

All the coffee in the world won’t make the first few weeks of school any less ugly for you, Libra. Might as well switch to decaf so you can at least get some sleep.

ARIES March 21 - April 19

LIBRA Sept. 23 - Oct. 22

TAURUS April 20 - May 20

SCORPIO Oct. 23 - Nov. 21

GEMINI May 21 - June 20

SAGITTARIUS Nov. 22 - Dec. 21

The stars say you’ll meet someone sweet within the first few weeks of school. They didn’t say if it’d actually work out between you two, or if you’d even see them again after meeting, though. Sorry, Gemini.

“To be honest, everyone. But I’m playing against a California team... named Stanford. I’m looking forward to that.”

“Stanford for right off the bat. You know a big game, but we just look one game ahead preparing for them.”

ABDUL BEECHAM

“Ha! Obviously the first one. Yeah, the first one.”

“I’m excited to play all of the teams. I think it’s going to be a really competitive season and we gotta take it one game at a time. First we have Stanford, so that’ll be exciting. That will be a good one.”

Your enthusiastic attitude toward getting back to school is annoying. Please at least try to dread this painful time as much as the rest of us.

HELPING YOU THRIVE 2012-13

compiled by Evert Nelson

Open your mind to new friendships, Leo, or the stars say you’ll be spending too much time alone this semester wondering why you never, ever have any weekend plans.

You’ve come to terms with school starting and are actually more emotionally stable about it than the rest of us. You should probably get that checked out, Pisces. One, because it’s not like you, and two, because it’s not like anyone.

You’ll spend a lot of time in the library this semester. You should start scouting out good places to snooze in there during the first couple of weeks of class while everyone else is out socializing.

5 places, rules every Manhattan newbie should know speaker or wait until you’ve arrived at your destination.

TIMOTHY EVERSON the collegian

5. THE MANHATTAN PUBLIC LIBRARY IS A GODSEND FOR THE BROKE COLLEGE KID

With a new school year comes a whole new crop of people in Manhattan. Here are five tips that will make your transition into the Little Apple a little easier.

Cheap and free entertainment is hard to come by and with Netflix raising their rates a couple dollars and Hulu discontinuing their free service soon, the college student’s pocket is taking a beating. That’s where the library comes in. Not only are they always adding new books to

1. IF YOU’RE UNDERAGE, MAYBE SKIP AGGIEVILLE

Sure, Aggieville is great if you’re of age. There’s a different bar for every different kind of person from the laid-back atmosphere of Auntie Mae’s to the frenetic, pulsing party of Johnny Kaw’s. But for the under 21 crowd, Aggieville just doesn’t have much for you unless you enjoy two-stepping at Dirty Dawg’s or grinding away at Tubby’s. If that’s not your scene, maybe look at making alternative weekend plans instead of being stuck in an uncomfortable and unpleasant night out.

2. THE VARSITY TRUCK LOVES YOU

Something that gladly welcomes the drunk and sober of all ages is the Varsity Truck. A Manhattan institution that’s coming up on four years old this fall, the Varsity Truck can get you something sweet and savory after a hard weekend study session or an equally hard night in the ‘Ville. Plus, they always have classic movie and TV shows playing so you and

Even though it has only been open for about four years, the Varsity Truck in Aggieville has become a late night food staple, and its Mac ‘n’ Cheese Grilled Cheese is especially popular. your friends can take a load off and relax.

3. AGGIEVILLE PARKING IS LIMITED

This only applies during the day. After 5 p.m., you can park as long as you’d like until 6 a.m. the next day. However, it may be really tempting when the parking garage is full and all of the parking lots around campus are filled as well to find a spot in the ‘Ville so you can rush off to class. As long as you aren’t on campus all day that should be fine, but drivers parked anywhere for more than two to three hours (depending

on the spot) are subject to be ticketed not once but multiple times in one sitting. So if you want to save yourself some dough, be sure to keep track of the time.

4. KEEP YOUR CELLPHONES IN YOUR POCKET WHEN YOU’RE DRIVING

This may be a no-brain-

er for most people, but Manhattan has a strict cellphone ordinance when it comes to driving. All phone activity must be completely handsfree within the city limits. Your phone can’t be up by your ear, you can’t text, tweet or check email and you especially can’t play Pokémon GO while driving, even if you’re driving by a Pikachu. Either get some kind of Bluetooth

their collection but you can also borrow movies and select video games from there for free. Sure, it’s no Blockbuster in its prime, but if you’re in a pinch, a good free book and a movie can fill your weekend. So whether you’re chowing down on a Mac ‘N Cheese Grilled Cheese from the Varsity Truck or scouring the library for your new favorite book or movie, take solace in the fact that it takes a while to become a Manhattan expert. Eventually, though, you’ll get there. Everyone does.

10 helpful tips for living in the residence halls MAKE AN EFFORT TO MAKE FRIENDS

DANIELLE COOK the collegian

Living in a residence hall can be both exciting and a little challenging, but with open-mindedness and creativity your days spent there can be some of the best of your college experience.

CLEAN

Your living space may be small and maybe you won’t even be in there all that often anyway, but it’s still your home for the next nine months and having a clean space to work, hang out and sleep in will make your life easier. Plus, keeping your room fairly clean throughout the time you live in it will make moving out a breeze.

Put your best foot forward when it comes to socializing with your residence hall community; it’s always nice to be able to come home to a place full of friends after a long day of class. Explore your hall, or hang out in your room with your door open, you’ll come across all kinds of cool people you’ll be glad you met.

STICK WITH YOUR STUDENT ID

Your K-State student ID will be your key into your residence hall and it’s truly the worst being stuck outside without it, especially when there’s no one hanging out inside that could let you in. To avoid the annoyance of being locked out of your hall, make sure your K-State ID is

on you at all times, whether that means it never leaves your bag that you never leave without, or you glue it to your hand.

BE COOL WITH YOUR RESIDENT ASSISTANTS

Your resident assistants are available to you as informational resources and, basically, as automatic friends. If you have questions about where to find something around your residence hall or about college in general don’t be afraid to ask your RAs.

COMMUNICATE WITH YOUR ROOMMATE(S)

Especially if you don’t agree with or get along particularly well with your roommate(s), make an effort to communicate with them about your needs as far as studying, sleeping and

space, or about anything they do that bothers you or makes you uncomfortable. Even if you’re best friends with your roommate(s), it’s best to be honest with them about things. You’re sharing a small space, so compromise is key.

HANG OUT

Don’t be afraid to hang out in the common area of your floor or in common areas of your residence hall in general. Spaces like your floor’s common area or the hall’s outside areas make good places for group study sessions or for just getting out of your room for a while.

PARTICIPATE

Participate in floor or residence hall activities. It’s OK if you don’t want to take part in every single floor dinner or movie night, but at least hit up a few

just to try it. These activities are a good way to build friendships with members of your community, especially if you’re a little more on the shy side.

SWITCH IT UP

Looking at your room day in and day out for two whole semesters can get old. Try rearranging some of your stuff or switching out wall decorations every once in a while to keep yourself interested and comfortable in your room. You can even collaborate with your roommate to rearrange furniture for a completely fresh start.

STAY ORGANIZED

It’s hard not to be late to class when you can’t find your textbook because you’re swimming in a sea of them in your room. Try to keep all the things you need for class or other activ-

ities organized so you don’t have to live the struggle of misplacing things or just not having the time to find them when you need them. Keep binders to organize papers and utilize shelf space to organize books and other items.

BE CREATIVE

Living in a residence hall is lots of fun, but can be rough at times, as it’s not quite like living in a house or apartment of your own where everything you could ever need is always within reach. However, if you’re creative, you can come up with a million and one different ways to make dorm living both easier and more engaging for yourself. Use sites like Pinterest for decoration and organization ideas. Utilize the help and ideas of friends and family. You have the power to make your dorm a space you love to live in.

Voting procedures for in-state, out-of-state students TIMOTHY EVERSON the collegian

Sometimes the hardest part of voting is not figuring out who to vote for, but where and how to vote. For the vast majority of students at K-State, this fall will be the first major election they’ve been eligible to vote in. There’s still plenty of time– whether you came to K-State from somewhere else in Kansas or another part of the country– to make sure that you’re registered and ready to vote. If you’re from out-of-state and looking to register and vote there, your best bet in finding out the details and dates to get registered are either contacting your local County Clerk or going online to a website like Campus Vote Project. They have an interactive map which will give

you specific instructions on the registration and absentee ballot procedures in your specific state. However, if you’re an out-ofstate student looking to register to vote in Kansas for the first time, in addition to filling out a voter registration application (which you can find on Riley County’s website or at the County Clerk’s office), you will need to provide “satisfactory evidence of United States citizenship.” according to the official Riley County website. That includes a birth certificate, passport or U.S. naturalization documents, among other things. A comprehensive list of accepted documents is available on the “Got Voter ID?” website. For in-state students who are originally registered in their hometowns, all you will need to do is to fill out a new voter registration form. The deadline to register for the general election in Kansas is Oct. 18, and if you want to fill

out a registration application at Riley County’s website, you need to get in by Sept. 24. Once you’re registered, you can begin advance voting from Oct. 19 to Nov. 7 at noon at the Riley County Courthouse located on Poyntz Avenue. Election Day is Nov. 8 and polling locations will be open from 7 a.m. to 7 p.m. You can find your specific polling location by either searching online or going to the County Clerks office. If you’re registered, a valid photo ID is all that’s required of you whether you vote in advance or on Election Day. If you’re mailing in an absentee ballot to your home county in Kansas, a photocopy of your ID is required to make it count. Be sure to check back with the Collegian all election season long as we will give you the tips and tools you need to be registered and to vote come November.

Keep an eye out for these 6 movie releases this fall TIMOTHY EVERSON the collegian

This fall, students and townies alike will have a brand new theater to enjoy as Carmike Cinemas, the owner of Manhattan's current theater, will open a new 13-screen theater in the mall with one of those screens being an IMAX. Movie enthusiasts will also be able to enjoy new dine-in capabilities with Carmike's Ovation Cinema Grill, a service that is only available in three other Carmike theaters across the country. In honor of the new theater and the fall and winter movie seasons (the best time of year for movies in my opin-

ion) here are five (or six) movies coming out this semester to keep an eye on.

1. "ROGUE ONE: A STAR WARS STORY"

Last Christmas, Star Wars fans were probably given the best present imaginable as "Star Wars Episode VII: The Force Awakens" was released. "Rogue One" marks the second of six Star Wars movies Disney plans on making, and the first of three standalone pictures. Felicity Jones ("The Theory of Everything") plays Jyn Erso, a rebellion soldier picked to be part of a team to attempt to steal the plans for the first Death Star. This movie takes place before "Star Wars Episode IV: A New Hope" and is rumored to have a young (not prequels-young but

younger) Darth Vader as one of its villains. "Rouge One: A Star Wars Story" is set to open Dec. 16.

"Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them" premieres Nov. 18.

2. "FANTASTIC BEASTS AND WHERE TO FIND THEM"

Probably one of the most intriguing and buzzed about movies on this list, Nate Parker ("The Great Debaters," "NonStop") writes, directs and stars in this movie about a literate slave named Nat Turner (Parker) who leads a slave uprising in the South before the Civil War. An early favorite to take the top prize at the Oscars, Parker's picture surely will resonate even more due to the political climate of the country over the past year. "The Birth of a Nation" opens Oct. 7.

The newest superhero in the Marvel Cinematic Universe, Dr. Stephen Strange (Benedict Cumberbatch of "Sherlock" and "Star Trek Into the Darkness") is the protagonist in what could be the trippiest and most visually interesting Marvel movie to date. Strange was an accomplished and arrogant neurosurgeon who loses it all after a car crash. Learning the secrets of mysticism and alternate dimensions, he becomes Dr. Strange, Sorcerer Supreme. This will be the first Marvel movie after this summer's "Captain America: Civil War" saw the Avengers split up. "Doctor Strange" hits theaters on Nov. 4.

4. "DOCTOR STRANGE"

5 AND 6. "SULLY" AND "SNOWDEN"

Based on the textbook of the same name from the Harry Potter book and movie series, Eddie Redmayne stars as Newt Scamander, a wizard who has let magical creatures loose in New York City. Potter author J.K. Rowling penned the script to this spin-off that is set to be a trilogy. With the play "Harry Potter and the Cursed Child" that was released this July wrapping up Harry's story, this new movie is sure to offer more opportunities to get lost in Rowling's wizarding world.

3. "THE BIRTH OF A NATION"

I combined these movies into one because they are very similar. Both are biopics based on events that have happened in the last 10 years (The Miracle on the Hudson in 2009 and Snowden leaking NSA documents in 2013). Both are directed by Oscar-winning directors (Clint Eastwood directing "Sully" and Oliver Stone directing "Snowden"). Both have big names filling the title roles with Tom Hanks playing Sully Sullenberger and Joesph Gordon-Levitt playing Edward Snowden, and both are total Oscar bait. Expect both of these movies to get plenty of attention come award season. You can see "Sully" starting Sept. 9, while "Snowden" opens the week after on Sept. 16.

The indulgent's guide to finding cheap booze JON PARTON the collegian

Disclaimer: The advice given in this article is meant for people 21 and over. For those under 21, the author does not plan on writing a jail survival guide. When it comes to liquor, there are two types of people: connoisseurs and indulgents. Connoisseurs will sip 20-year-old Macallan Scotch that runs about $5,000 a bottle while commenting on the palate and finish of the drink. Indulgents? Well, indulgents just like to get effed up. This guide is for them. There’s a right way and a wrong way to get drunk efficiently and cheaply. Be smart, be safe and enjoy your entertainment for less than $10.

DON’T BUY BEER

Beer is fantastic and the recent surge of popular microbrews goes to show how popular it is. But if you are looking to maximize your dollar to drunkenness ratio, beer is woefully inadequate.

Sure, beer is great. But it takes a lot of beer to get wasted at an average 5.6 percent alcohol content. And for God’s sake, stop buying 3.2 beer at the grocery store. You’re only embarrassing yourself and bringing shame and dishonor to your family. Beer, while a popular party drink, is inefficient due to its cost and low alcohol content.

Graphic by Carly Adams

THE MAGICAL MIXER

Vodka is the indulgent’s best friend. The word vodka actually comes from the Russian word for water, “voda.” Depending on the brand, the alcohol content can run from 30-50 percent. The spirit has a relatively neutral taste and smell, sort of like burning water. This, along with its relatively cheap price, makes vodka perfect for the indulgent as it takes on the flavor of whatever is added to it. Vodka and Coke? Tastes like burning Coke. Vodka and punch? Burning punch. Vodka is the tofu of alcoholic beverages. It’s just there. While there can be a slightly less burning sensation in the more expensive brands, that can easily be remedied by the ra-

tio you mix your drinks with. So grab some bottom shelf brand and drink with confidence. I recommend mixing with your favorite kind of soda or juice in order to maximize drunkenness and minimize cost. Whatev-

er you do, do not buy the flavored vodkas. You are not a 16-year-old trying alcohol for the first time. Have a little self-respect.

BAR STRATEGIES

Going to a bar to drink is

like buying an expensive salad at a fast food restaurant. It’s going to taste the same as it does at home, but now you’re out more money. There are times when the indulgent is obligated to go bar hopping. While this is a lot of fun, it can also be expensive. Always, always, always befriend the bartender. Much like the doctor who will save your life, the bartender is the one who will save your night. Ask about specials or if the bar is offering a new drink. Bars often run promotional deals in order to get people to try something new. Don’t forget to tip either; it will be one of your best investments of the evening. There’s a magical drink worth ordering for the indulgent known as sangria. This sweet mixture of wine and fruit can usually be had pretty cheap. The increased alcohol content from the wine means you won’t have to buy very many of them either. Alternatively, see about pooling your money with friends to buy cheap pitchers of beer. This may seem to run counter to my previous advice, but when two or more people split the bill, it can

be one of the least costly options when hanging out at a bar.

THE INDULGENT JERK AND ETIQUETTE

If money is really tight and you want to drink but can’t afford it, I recommend re-examining your priorities. If you’re broke and your friends are going to the bars, offer to be the designated driver. Failing that, you can be somewhat of a freeloader and ask your friends to buy for you. I recommend, however, that you either be sure to buy the next time around or be a decent human being and cook food for them. There’s a difference between being an indulgent and a jerk. If you have people over to drink, never force them out. Always offer a couch so people can sleep it off. Don’t do the drunken-driving thing either. Ever see a car try its best to go under the speed limit late at night? Yeah, they’re drunk. It’s easy to spot. Don’t be that jerk. Indulgents can always have a decent time with minimal cost. It just takes a little planning and a willingness to try some new things.

Broke college student’s guide to free meals JON PARTON the collegian

From parking permits to textbooks to those useless iClickers that will only be needed for one class, you will be spending a lot more on your education than what your tuition and fees suggest. To those students who are new to K-State, accept that you will be poor for the next few years. To those who are returning, you know what’s up. The best tasting food is free food. In your collegiate career, you’ll have many opportunities to cash in on free meals. This guide will show you how.

CAMPUS ORGANIZATIONS, SPECIAL EVENTS

An important part of acquiring free grub is to know who’s giving it away. Many student organizations hold campus events that feature free food. During the first two weeks of school, they will be everywhere. It’s possible to do a lap around campus and walk away with free hot dogs, ice cream, bottled water, candy and more. Take advantage of these while you can. Find out when campus organizations meet. Oftentimes, they will serve free food at their meetings. Even if you wind up not interested in the group, at least you can walk out with a free snack. Always check the

K-State homepage or The Collegian for the latest on free stuff. After the first couple of weeks, events with free food will be a little less common, which is when you’ll have to look off-campus.

EATING FREE AT RESTAURANTS, GROCERY STORES

What’s better than eating and not having to cook? Not having to pay for it either. Several national restaurant chains offer free items when people sign up for an email newsletter or app, as expanded upon by Urban Tastebud’s article, “How to get free food at 156 restaurants without getting arrested.” So sign up with an email you don’t mind receiving spam with and enjoy things like free pancakes from IHOP, a free baked good from Panera or a free waffle from Waffle House. Similarly, more than 400 restaurants across the country offer some sort of free item on your birthday or when you download an app. After exhausting your freefood run at restaurants, there is still one option left: grocery store samples. No one is suggesting you should stuff your pockets with 1.5 pounds of food like a Minnesota man did a few years ago, but a little light grazing is definitely okay. There are a number of ways to score some free food out there, make sure to take advantage of them in order to save a little money during the semester.

How students can make most of campus culture JON PARTON the collegian

Want to make the most out of your time at K-State? Well you should, because according to a 2013 study, students who are more involved in collegiate activities are more likely to succeed in school and to be happier in their time spent at college. So take off that lanyard, keep your ID in your wallet and listen up.

JOIN A CLUB

One of the best ways to get involved is joining a student organization. K-State has more than 475 clubs and organizations, featuring everything from multicultural groups to professional clubs to arts and boxing. Most of the groups can be found on the K-State OrgSync page and contain information on how to join and meeting times.

GAMEDAY

Nothing is as electric as gameday when K-State plays in Bill Snyder Family Stadium. Fans from all across the country make the Little Apple seem huge on those Saturdays. For a real K-State experience, set up a

tailgate with some friends before the game.

STRETCH OUT

You pay to be on campus, you might as well get the most of it. On any given day when the weather is nice, throngs of people will set up blankets or hammocks on the campus lawns. Get back to nature and enjoy K-State’s wildly entertaining squirrel population or the occasional pick-up game of Frisbee.

EXPLORE

There’s an entire city and surrounding area to be explored. Aggieville and downtown Manhattan have several restaurants and locally-owned shops offering unique experiences. If you’re looking for something more natural, there’s a ton of options like the Konza Prairie hiking trails or camping at Tuttle Creek. Or you can grab a friend and make your way to Manhattan Hill to catch a panoramic view of the city.

KEEP AN EYE ON BOSCO PLAZA

Named after Pat Bosco, vice president for student life and dean of students, Bosco Student Plaza is one of the most active spots on campus. One day, there

might be a free food giveaway. The next day, there could be a live band playing. From hosting food trucks to hosting events, Bosco Plaza serves as the hub of the campus community.

CONSTRUCTION BLUES

Get used to seeing construction. A side effect of increased enrollment is having enough space to accommodate everyone. Get to know where the construction is and plan ahead to find the best route in between classes.

GET W‘REC’KED

You now have membership to a gym. The Chester E. Peters Recreation Complex has what you need to stay in shape, from weight rooms to cardio machines. The gyms also offers everything from basketball and volleyball courts to a climbing wall and indoor pool. And if you want to just relax, the facility hosts a game lounge with video game stations, pool tables and darts. Your college experience is what you make of it. Whether you prefer to lounge outside or just hang out with others, you have the opportunity to do more than just sit in a dorm room or class all day.

Use of 'minority' causes unnecessary divisions JENA ERNSTING the collegian

We are who we are. From the very beginning, we are intrinsic. That is what we are supposed to think, at least. As humans, we are basically programed to think that we have a natural place in this world. However, people view each other’s natural place differently. That’s right, we are all judgmental, narcissistic people who only care about ourselves and what others think about us. To make ourselves feel better, we segregate others into groups we deem different. A minority is a subsidiary of a larger group whose members have significantly less control over their individual lives than members of the more dominant or majority group, according to racism.org. In addition, a minority

group is a group of people who experience a lessening of opportunities, whether that be success, education or wealth. Those opportunities are disproportionately low compared to societal numbers and norms, the website said. I don’t necessarily believe those definitions completely define a minority group. After some less-than-extensive research, also known as a survey I posted to my Facebook page, I learned that my Facebook friends and I see minority differently. Respondent one defined minority as, “A group that is less than the majority of those around them.” They said nothing about a lack of opportunities or control. Respondent two, while also defining minority, was quick to note that although minority refers to a group of humans, who refer to a category of people differentiated from

the social norm around them, it is not necessarily numerical. Think about it for a moment. One minority in our country, according to respondent two’s personal definition, could easily be people in a position of power, like our lawmakers, who we consider majority because they have majority of the power when it comes down to making the laws. However, there are far less of them than there are of the “average Joe.” In the end, my thought process is something along these lines: As a white, middle class, female American, how am I not a minority? You never hear anything about people in my demographic being the minority. Honestly, after typing the word “minority” into my Google search and the first drop-down option being, “minority scholarships.” I was initially irritated. It brought to the surface infuriating thoughts

I had as a senior in high school applying for scholarships and not qualifying for them because I didn’t fit into some tiny mold. The lovely people handing out money are telling me and others like me that we are not qualified because we are not the minority. But, in my opinion, we are the minority when you clump all the other minorities together. We find ourselves as the minority because we feel the need to classify people into minority groups. The sheer amount of scholarships available to minorities are available because these populations of students are underrepresented, and specialized scholarships are an effort to make higher education more accessible to minority groups, according to BestColleges.com section, “Financial aid opportunities for minority students.” There are infinite, com-

plex reasons that minority students have decreased rates of enrollment and graduation, not just financial reasoning, BestColleges.com said. There are so many ways to classify minority, and it is increasingly difficult to do so in the current political dome we are all suffocating from. The politics surrounding us make it even easier to want to throw people into those little groups and weed them out. So I vote we stop using the word “minority,” and I am not alone. “Not surprisingly, most of the states that experienced growth in populations of minority children are the ones where white children are in the majority: California, Nevada, New Mexico, Arizona, Texas, Florida, Georgia, Hawaii, Mississippi and Maryland,” KTLA-TV in Los Angeles said in Phuong Ly’s Poynter article, “As people of color become a majority, is it time for jour-

nalists to stop using the term ‘minorities’?” So can we please, for the love of our freedom, stop using the word “minority” and accept that we are all equal? We all live in the same country and are allowed the same rights and freedoms. We are all functioning human beings. Is that concept not enough? Is it too difficult to grasp? You would think if our country started thinking as one majority instead of separating and stigmatizing people into minorities, we wouldn’t have so many internal issues.

Happiness begins in accumulation of moments, not objects MAYARA GARAY KOSTIANOVSKY the collegian

I was born into a family that was always able to provide me with everything I needed – a roof over my head, food in the refrigerator, an education and, most importantly, love. My parents were always hard workers and big on saving their money. I have always been a big fan of the fashion industry, and with this came the desire to have designer bags and other stuff that costs far too much. However, I can tell you now that a bag worth thousands of dollars does not mean happiness in any way. Why do we think some-

times that having more stuff will make us happier? Why do we get that excited feeling when we buy something new? I know I get the feeling. The idea of setting goals for ourselves in terms of getting material items like a new cellphone and working toward it does not actually makes us happier, but rather more miserable, according to Martha C. White’s Time article, “Here’s proof buying more stuff actually makes you miserable.” “The connection between our stuff and our self-esteem is a two-way street: If we become less materialistic, our well-being will improve. If our well-being improves, we tend to be less materialistic,” White said. I have experienced this firsthand by being away from

my family and friends while at college. In my opinion, it is not about how many clothes or tech gadgets you own, but rather who is by your side sharing them with you. Compared to the way our grandparents used to live we are less happy and have a higher chance of being depressed, author of “The American Paradox: Spiritual Hunger in an Age of Plenty” David G. Myers said in Carolyn Gregoire’s The Huffington Post article, “The psychology of materialism, and why it’s making you unhappy.” When we first buy something we experience instant gratification, Michael J. Norton, professor of business administration in the marketing unit of Harvard Business School and co-author of

“Happy Money: The Science of Smarter Spending” said in Kristin Bianco’s Fox Business article, “Why does buying stuff make us feel better?” The same thing happens when we eat fast food. You feel happy while you’re eating because it tastes good, but once you are done eating you will feel bad about what you ate and your health, Norton said. However, if a person needs to spend money, Norton said it is better to spend money on moments instead of material things. Traveling, going to a game or attending a concert are moments that you could share with someone else and that will provide memories to last forever. Accumulating objects probably does not make us

happier, but money sure helps. Unfortunately, we live in a world where money equals happiness. Money gives us the ability, like my parents had, to put food in the refrigerator, provide shelter and buy us clothes to wear. I believe it is after we have the basic needs that we should buy extra things like shoes or a new phone. David K. Williams’s Forbes article, “Eleven things science shows will make you happier every day,” said the following eleven actions will make a person happier: • Exercising • Sleeping enough • Commuting less • Spending more time with family and friends • Traveling when you can • Spending time outside

• Helping others • Smiling • Listening to soothing music • Being grateful • Getting older From personal experience, all of these work because we get a front seat to see that life is not about the clothes or other objects you have, but rather who you are spending your day with.

Shut the door on old opinions, open your mind JENA ERNSTING the collegian

When you walk out of your parents’ home, you leave a lot behind. You leave behind your friends, your high school yearbooks and years of memories. OK, we’re not completely depressing here; you take the most important memories with you. However, the one thing that needs to be left at the door when we come to college are our parents’ opinions. That’s not to say that our parents’ opinions are not valued, because they are. Those opinions and beliefs rowed you to the safety of that tropical island amidst many storms of uncertainty. But it is time for change. Once you are on your own, you have the ability to make up your own mind, and you should exercise that freedom and newfound responsibility. You have grown into a new version of the person your parents molded, and it is OK to stray from the original mold.

Stop being so closed-minded, because not opening your mind (even just a tiny bit) can really leave you in the dust. “Perhaps we need the constant reminders to be open minded because it’s such a hard state to sustain ... Psychologists call humans cognitive misers and have identified various ways that we shut out information in order to process more efficiently,” Kristi Hedges said in her Forbes’ article, “How to keep an open mind.” We are biased in perception, where we are programed to find information that sustains what we have already been thinking, and by doing that we are closing our minds, Hedges said. The concept of shutting out pieces of information to process that information more efficiently is just terrifying. The amount of opportunity and information we are missing out on because of that seems astronomical. So look outside your norm and don’t let some type of deep-seated bias ruin an opportunity for you. My parents have strictly expressed to me, “If you don’t

Illustration by Savannah Thaemert try it, you could be missing out on the best thing.” That statement has held true for food, friends, opportunities and just life in general. Being open-minded is hard. It’s hard even if you’ve grown up with the concept being forced on you, but there are benefits that extend past specific experiences. Author and blogger, Dani

DiPirro, of PositivelyPresent. com listed, “The 7 benefits of being open-minded” as: • Letting go of control • Experiencing changes • Making yourself vulnerable • Making mistakes • Strengthening yourself • Gaining confidence • Being honest You are bound to experience new things when

you open your mind and strengthen who you are as a person. You find yourself. It’s impossible to build yourself as a person without taking risks or making mistakes, that’s where you learn. And although you may have already made the decision to skip out on joining a sorority or fraternity, running for a leadership position in your residence hall or going to that first club meeting, that doesn’t mean you still can’t open your mind and try to get a bit more involved. Because if you open your mind or even change it, you can always go through recruitment next year. By closing your mind you may be missing out on lifelong friendships and a bunch of opportunities. The same goes for leadership positions, as they are opening up all over the place across campus. Just because you missed out on running for one, doesn’t mean that you won’t find more purpose in a completely different position or organization. And just because you missed the first meeting or the first three years of your

major’s club doesn’t mean you can’t still find your place, make friends and be successful. Feel challenged to jump outside of your comfort zone and be a bit more open- minded. Think you are open-minded enough already? Take the Psychology Today Quiz, “How open-minded are you? (A quiz)” by Susan Perry. In 10 quick questions and a little skill in adding numbers, you can find out if you are a “Mental Adventurer” like me, who is open to experience and interested in discovering new ideas, or maybe a “Rut-Sticker” who tends to be a follower. No matter your results, it doesn’t matter as long as you keep an open mind because there is so much in this world to see and experience, and it starts today.

‘Think About It’ training offers band-aid solution to larger issue CHLOE CREAGER the collegian

At the beginning of the school year, every student is required to complete the Alcohol and Sexual Assault Prevention program that covers recognizing red flags of abuse in relationships, abuse tactics, various facets of sexual assault and how to respond if you think someone is in danger. As an incoming junior, I’ve finished various online seminars put forth by the university regarding alcohol, drugs, sexual assault and other related issues. While these

are informative the first time you take them, it’s not particularly beneficial besides being a recap after that. Though a short online course doesn’t compare at all to having an actual conversation, it brings awareness to an important topic – especially as the university navigates the aftermath of allegedly violating Title IX in its handling of recent sexual assault cases. K-State ASAP program uses the “Think About It” modules from Campus Clarity, which asks various questions about drinking and drug habits, in addition to walking through various scenarios that a student could

experience. The course has various options to improve accessibility; you can watch video instructions or have a text-only screen, which makes it easy to follow along regardless of your preference. In addition, it doesn’t use only heterosexual relationships as examples and makes the scenarios as realistic as possible. While the course does give clear examples of red flags of physical abuse, consent, coercion and assault, I think it could do a lot more to cover signs of emotional abuse and how to handle it. The ASAP training could be valuable if a person hasn’t learned any of this material

previously, and the module does offer plenty of supplemental readings and information for those interested. The course seemed very similar to the one I took last

year, which could make it trickier for students to gain more from the program as they take it multiple times throughout their college career if it’s similar for everyone. Additionally, it very easy to skip through the information without reading it if you’re not interested in engaging with it, which I’m sure many students aren’t. Online modules are a decent way to introduce incoming freshmen to issues they may not have dealt with in high school, but ultimately can’t replace an actual conversation about functional and healthy relationships. Many student groups have different ways to ed-

ucate their students, but I think the university itself needs to be more proactive about tackling issues related to alcohol, consent and sexual assault than just requiring students to take a brief online course. It’s not easy to educate everyone in person, but it’s important enough that it needs to be done.

Letter from the President: Welcome to K-State Dear students, Welcome to Kansas State University, or welcome back if you are a returning student. We’re glad to have you here at the nation’s first operational land-grant university. As your interim president, I see many new and exciting changes to this university — especially since I was a student. But many things also remain the same, including the ever-present friendliness of K-Staters and our family atmosphere. I could pack this letter full of advice, but I can’t possibly tell you everything it takes to be successful at K-State. Each of you is different, and your paths will be different. What I can tell you is that if you commit to your whole education —

if you put real effort into learning the material in your classes, your strengths and weaknesses and how to work with people who are different from you — you will leave this university as prepared as you possibly can be for the next stages in your life. Please know the university provides many levels of support if you seek it out. Faculty and staff are here to help you with your coursework and the many other aspects of your K-State experience. Don’t be afraid to ask for help! Those other aspects include getting involved on campus. I encourage you to explore the many opportunities to participate and make a difference in meaningful ways. Also, have fun and enjoy these unforgettable years. Fun and a sense

of humor are essential. Things can get tense, and laughter often breaks the tension of hard work and prevents burn out. Equally as important is developing your integrity. While enjoying yourself and making the most of your time here, remember that as a student of Kansas State University you are a part of something much bigger than yourself. Please look out for one another and don’t hesitate to help your fellow students. I’m enjoying my time as your interim president, and I look forward to a great fall semester. We truly are proud to have you as members of the Wildcat family. Go Cats!

Campus artwork: A glance at K-State’s sculptures

'The Fork'

Created by James Wentz in 1969 during the “Art-In-Situation” workshop in 1969, this untitled sculpture is the tallest on campus at 20 feet tall. The sculpture is made of wood, fiberglass and plastic and can be found between King Hall and the Leadership Studies Building. While most students call the statue a fork or spork, others argue that it resembles a king chess piece, which may make sense considering its location, right outside King Hall.

'Trapezoid'

Nick Zack created this untitled sculpture as part of the "Art-in-Situation" workshop in 1969. Located in the Coffman Commons, the sculpture was meant to bring color to the campus thanks to the stainless steel disk. “The disc will provide a smooth mirrored surface which will reflect the morning and afternoon sun,” Zack said in an interview in the July 23, 1969, edition of the Collegian. “Various colors will also be reflected from the disc.” The sculpture resembles a pregnant woman lying down. Students can fit inside the sculpture, resembling a child in the womb.

'Beach Chandelier'

Hanging prominently in the lobby of the Marianna Kistler Beach Museum of Art, this twisted original glass sculpture was acquired by the university in 1996. Created by Washington state native Dale Chihuly, the piece weighs 300 pounds, measures 12 feet in length and greets all visitors of the museum.

A Kind Touch

Dedicated to K-State College of Veterinary Medicine alum Dr. Bob Kind, this sculpture of Kind with a boy and his dog, is located between Mosier and Trotter Halls. Sculptor David L. Spellerberg created the piece and it was donated by Kind's wife Mary Lee Kind in 1999.

Constructed in 2012, this untitled sculpture memorializes the 2008 tornado that hit the K-State campus, damaging buildings and destroying more than 200 trees that were planted between 1890-1900. Located east of Bushnell Hall, the sculpture was designed by horticulture students as part of a class project.

'The Twister'

monday, august 22, 2016

Kreqe-aekyed and Kqrefe-aekyad

The twin stainless steel sculptures, located west of Thompson Hall, were created by Douglas Abdell in 1980. The first sculpture was partially paid for by The Price R. and Flora A. Reid Foundation and the second sculpture was later donated to the university by the foundation.

Hard Work

William Alexander Harris Bust

This bust of the former U.S. Senator from Kansas is unique in that it memorializes a man who served as an adjutant general in the Confederate Army during the Civil War before moving to Kansas. The piece, found at the entrance to the north side of Fairchild Hall, was sculpted by Carlo Romanelli. University records are inconclusive of when it was created.

Created by Barry West as part of the "Art-In-Situation" workshop, this aluminum sculpture can be found over the main entrance to Umberger Hall.

Spiral Jade

This sculpture, found just east of Kedzie Hall, was purchased by the university in 1976. Reverend Leland Lubbers created the piece by hammering a train axle and using a train wheel as the base. A similar piece by the artist can be found at the University of Nebraska Medical Center.

COMPILED BY JON PARTON PHOTOS BY EVERT NELSON & PARKER ROBB

Ad Astra E. Terra

Latin for "from the earth to the stars," the Havens Steel Company donated this sculpture located on the northwest side of Seaton Hall in 1988. The sculpture, meant to serve as a visual teaching aid, consists of 25 steel members and more than 144 bolts hold it in place.

Big predictions for 2016 K-State football season ANDREW HAMMOND the collegian

It’s another fall in Manhattan, which means one thing: the return of K-State football. You know, the thing that makes you rock back and forth furiously yelling things like “Hey-hey-hey, let’s go state!” and praise the man who wears the same bowl game windbreaker every single game. Yeah, that K-State. Since I won’t be writing for the Kansas State Collegian during this football season, I’ve decided to tell you what’s going to happen because I like causing a stir and watching things burn. While I could take a more complex route and go gameby-game, it’s much easier to tell you the four biggest things that

will happen during the 2016 season for the K-State Wildcats.

1. ERTZ WILL BE THE STARTING QUARTERBACK

Some may look at this and think it’s not a “bold statement,” but the K-State quarterback situation was the talk of last summer and some of that lingered. Junior Jesse Ertz will earn the job in fall camp and come Friday, Sept. 2, at Stanford, Ertz will be your starting quarterback.

2. K-STATE WILL DEFEAT A RANKED OPPONENT ON THE ROAD IN 2016

When preseason pundits talk about a team’s road schedule being daunting, that usually means they may not get a road win during said season. When those same pundits say the

same thing about K-State, you might as well go to Vegas and bet on the Wildcats because you will walk out a winner. K-State’s road schedule is tough for sure, with games at Stanford, Oklahoma, West Virginia, Baylor and TCU. Those five have a very good chance of being ranked at the time and K-State has had some success against a few of them. K-State has won two straight road games versus Oklahoma and West Virginia collectively. K-State’s going to knock someone off on the road, it’s just a matter of who and when.

3. K-STATE WILL GO UNDEFEATED AT HOME IN 2016

Yep, I’m stepping up to the plate and calling my shot. Unlike 2015, the Wildcats won’t have to endure the death march-like slate with ranked

opponent showing up after ranked opponent. The three toughest games K-State has at home this season come against Oklahoma State, Texas Tech and Texas. Oklahoma State is 0-2 against the Wildcats in Bill Snyder Family Stadium since 2012, Texas Tech is 2-4 in Manhattan since joining the conference in 1996. The Texas Longhorns are 1-5 in the Little Apple since 1998.

4. 2016 IS SNYDER’S LAST SEASON AS HEAD COACH

OK, OK, before you start throwing stuff and shedding tears I’m going to explain why. Ever since Bill Snyder brought the program back to a competitive level again, this moment has been coming. I mean, he’s won another conference title and brought the program success. With the program’s re-

a program is a great place to stop and let the next chapter of K-State football begin.

The most important K-State sporting events for the fall semester ANDREW HAMMOND the collegian

Hello, and welcome to another year of K-State Athletics. Whether you’re a freshman, sophomore or fifth-year senior, you know that sports are important at K-State. You also know that they are must-see events, whether it be against in-state rival Kansas or facing off against a ranked team in the friendly confines of Bill Snyder Family Stadium. Here are some of the most important games to make note of as you balance school with watching your Wildcats:

SEPT. 2: FOOTBALL AT STANFORD

Week one of the college football season sees K-State on the road at No. 7 Stanford.
