Young adults comprise largest group of suspended voters

T

he voter registration applications of 23,902 potential voters in the state of Kansas are incomplete and currently suspended. Young adults top the list, with 32.5 percent of the names from citizens in their 20s.

“There is no good reason this younger generation is not fully registered and voting,” John Carlin, former governor of Kansas and visiting professor in Leadership Studies, said. “Never mind the fact that this is your right or your responsibility.

This is for your self-interest.”

Any mistakes that happen, Carlin said, will not hurt him or his generation anymore.

“It is backwards and upside down,” Carlin said. “Those who should be voting are not. These decisions will impact (those in their 20s) the most, not me. There is no reason they should not care.”

The most common cause of names on the suspended list is not submitting proof of citizenship to the county clerk’s office. According to League of Women Voters, 87 percent of those on list are due to lack of proof of citizenship.

“Once you submit your voter registration form, it does not stop there,” Catherine Hedge, vice president of the Manhattan League of Women Voters, said. “You then must

turn in your proof of citizenship.

Valid proof of U.S. citizenship includes, but is not limited to, birth certificates, passports, military records of service and naturalization documents.

To inform those who are on the list, the League of Women Voters of Kansas reported they are purchasing updated copies of the Secretary of State’s suspended list as it comes out, in hopes of sharing the names with local media to get disenfranchised voters off the suspended list and fully registered.

The list of suspended voters can be found at lwvk.org/voter-suspended-list.

“The big catch with this list is that just because you are not on the list does not necessarily mean you are good to vote,” Hedge said. “The names are only listed on suspense for 90 days. So if you partially registered in July and then checked the list in October, you won’t see your name.”

If this applies to you, Hedge said, you will have to start the voter registration process from the beginning. To confirm if you are fully registered, Hedge said to check myvoteinfo.voteks.org/VoterView/ RegistrantSearch.do.

“We know the process is complicated right now,” Hedge said.

“But we are trying not to sound cynical. We will be advocating for everyone to have the vote.”

The League of Women Voters

is “an organization that works to protect the rights of all under the law,” according to the League’s lawsuit update on Aug. 1. This is why the League of Women Voters of Kanas is involved in these lawsuits that require documented proof of citizenship to validate the federal voter registration, Hedge said.

For example, those who register to vote at the local Department of Motor Vehicles office think they’re allowed to vote in Kansas, Hedge said.

“But they’re not (registered in Kansas) because of Secretary of State Kris Kobach’s decision to require that those persons completing the federal voter registration form also submit proof of citizenship to validate that registration form in Kansas,” a press release from the League said.

“A big ruling is expected on Sept. 21, which could really change everything,” Hedge said.

The expected ruling relates to proof of citizenship, Hedge said.

That ruling will determine if the state of Kansas can require those who registered, or those who will register, at the Department of Motor Vehicles to provide proof of citizenship to vote in Kansas, even if they are eligible to vote in federal elections.

“The League of Women Voters is here to make sure everyone has the opportunity to vote,” Hedge said. “People died for that right and people are still dying for that right around the world. Manipulating that right away would be a real shame.”

In a statement, the K-State Student Governing Association’s Governmental Relations committee released: “SGA is working hard to make sure students not only start the registration process but complete it.

Many students haven’t been aware that there are two components of voter registration and both need to be completed before election day.

We think every student’s voice matters and will be following up with students who start the application process with us to remind them of the additional components.”

The secretary of state office did not respond to an email request for comment.

All-University Career Fair attracts students, employers ABBY CAMBIANO THE COLLEGIAN

Nearly 400 companies are traveling from across the Midwest and the nation to seek Kansas State students and alumni for career, internship and co-op positions. The K-State Career Center is hosting its annual fall semester All-University Career Fair in Bramlage Coliseum Tuesday through Thursday from 11 a.m. to 4 p.m.

For the first time, the all-campus event

spans three days. Kerri Day Keller, director of the Career Center, said the transition to a three-day career fair has been in the works for more than five years because of limited space for employers.

“We wanted to be able to accommodate as many employers meeting our students as possible,” Keller said. “A lot of employers really love recruiting K-State graduates because they make very well-rounded future employees.” see page

K-State aims to decrease penalties before Big 12 play SCOTT POPP

THE COLLEGIAN

K

ansas State has ranked first or second in the conference in fewest penalty yards per game each of the previous five years. If the Wildcats want to continue to lead in that stat, they will need to improve from their first two games.

The Wildcats already have 20 penalties in two games for 149 yards, and 12 of those came Saturday against Florida Atlantic. You probably could’ve predicted, head coach Bill Snyder was not happy.

At Tuesday’s press conference, Snyder said certain measures need to take place in practice to prevent the penalty issues.

“It is a discipline element, and that requires accountability and coaches are responsible for implementing the accountability,” Snyder said. “It is not after the fact on gameday, it is during the course of the week. We have

to do a better job of holding players accountable when those things take place in the course of a practice week.”

It’s not the first time K-State has gotten off to a slow start discipline-wise. A year ago, the Wildcats struggled with penalties early on; they had 17 through two games. But they improved down the stretch.

In the final eight games of the regular season, K-State had just 32 total penalties to jump to No. 1 in the Big 12.

Senior defensive end Jordan Willis said he knows the team wouldn’t have gotten away with sloppy play against stronger teams.

“Obviously if we were playing a better opponent, it would’ve affected us a lot more than it did, so we’ve got to be better moving forward,” Willis said.

Junior linebacker Elijah Lee said they have to be more disciplined once Big 12 play starts.

“That’s not who we are,”

Lee said. “We’ve got to start focusing on doing the little things right cause you know having those types of penalties in league play will kill us.”

Penalties were not the only standout from Saturday’s blowout win. The running game showed promise as it now seems the Wildcats have a wealth of talented backs.

The competition now seems to be a four-way race after impressive performances from sophomore running back Dalvin Warmack and redshirt freshman running back Alex Barnes against Florida Atlantic.

“It is pretty intense,” Barnes said. “All four of us are trying to get on the field, but it is a brotherhood. We are all out there each and every day suffering through practice, but we enjoy it and we make each other better.”

Snyder said one of the running backs will have to put himself above the rest.

“All of them have certain things that they bring to the ta-

time of experience that you would like to have but you wait

for someone to step up,” Snyder said.

No. 23 Wildcats commence Big 12 play against Cyclones tonight AVERY OSEN

Senior setter Katie Brand plays the ball during the K-State volleyball match against Loyola in Ahearn Field House on Sept. 10.

The No. 23 Kansas State volleyball team is set to open the Big 12 portion of its schedule when the Wildcats host the Iowa State Cyclones inside Ahearn Field House tonight at 7.

K-State has been playing very well and is currently on a nine-game winning streak after starting the season 2-2. The Wildcats defeated UMKC, Arkansas and Southern Mississippi in Arkansas this past weekend to improve their record to 11-2.

Now starts a new portion of the year as conference play

begins in what could be one of the best years in the Big 12.

“Our conference is very comparable to any conference in the country,” head coach Suzie Fritz said. “I think as you look through the course of the preseason, I think you can see that kind of develop, too. Different teams are a little bit further along and a lot of that depends on who they have coming back. At this point we have no reason to believe it won’t be a dog fight.”

One player who has played exceptionally well as of late is junior opposite hitter Bryna Vogel, who had a career-high of 21 kills in the win over Southern Mississippi this weekend.

With that, Vogel won MVP of

the Arkansas Invitational and was named Big 12 Offensive Player of the Week on Monday.

Another big reason for the success of K-State in the nonconference slate was the play of senior setter Katie Brand as she leads the Big 12 with 567 assists this season.

K-State now takes on the Cyclones, who are 7-4 this season and have won five of their last seven matches.

Iowa State lost to Creighton earlier this season in four sets, but K-State defeated the Blue Jays in four sets just last week.

In the last four seasons, the Cyclones and Wildcats have split the season in each of those years. Furthermore, none of

those eight matches have gone to a fifth set.

Fritz said she has seen lots of good things through the nonconference part of the season.

“We are very optimistic in a lot of areas,” Fritz said.

“I think our serving has gotten better and our side out, we are delivering on lots of those.”

As the team starts to hit the long grind of Big 12 play, Fritz is ready to see what her team can do this season.

“I think we have done everything that we needed to do to be ready for conference play,” Fritz said. “We’ve played a good schedule, figured some things out and I think we are ready to go.”

Bad breakup sparks interest in fitness, body building MAYARA GARAY KOSTIANOVSKY

“I think the first time we actually had a full conversation was when we ended up doing cardio near one other,” Esparza said. “It was then I realized that this giant was actually pretty funny and not at all a stereotypical ‘gym rat.’

After that point, we just kind of bonded over our love of repetitively lifting somewhat heavy objects and placing them back down.”

Esparza said training together has given him the opportunity to watch Poorman evolve, and he admires the dedication and effort Poorman has put into preparing

THE COLLEGIAN

J

ohn Poorman, senior in management information systems, said he got into the fitness world about two years ago as he was looking for ways to overcome a breakup. He said he found the place that brought him the most peace during that trying time was the gym.

“I went through a bad breakup so I started working out a lot,” Poorman said. “I started researching about lifting and body building because I was working out every day, so as I kept progressing I started looking at (the workout) as a sport. So I developed the idea that I wanted to compete at some point.”

Now Poorman is preparing to compete in the Oklahoma City Grand Prix body building competition on Nov. 5.

Poorman said getting into body building or any fitness activity requires a lot of trial and error.

“It takes a lot of time to find out what works with your body,” Poorman said. “Everyone’s body behaves differently.

Like with food, I had to find out what my body reacts to the most and what it doesn’t, as well as the best time to eat throughout the day. So the biggest thing is trial and error.”

Poorman said training requires discipline and focus. He starts his day with a 50-minute cardio workout at 6:30 a.m., without having any drinks or meals beforehand.

He eats six meals a day, which consist only of eggs, chicken, broccoli, potato, rice, beef and fish. He also drinks after-workout protein shakes and takes vitamins, glutamine and other supplements.

Poorman said he sees his change of lifestyle as a path to better himself. He said he is passionate about what he does with his body and is always looking for ways to improve.

Besides the physical

for the competition.

“The dedication (Poorman) shows toward both lifting and sticking to his diet is off the charts,” Esparza said.

“His whole heart and mind are invested in this show. He has the mentality of a winner, and there is no doubt in my mind that he will do great in this competition.”

Despite his plans to graduate next year with a degree in management information systems, Poorman said he has fallen in love with the lifestyle he has developed in body building and he plans on pursuing a career in the

fitness world, starting with a certificate in personal training from the National Academy of Sports Medicine next year.

“I love being able to go to the gym every day and working on bettering myself,” Poorman said. “It is what I look forward to every day, and once you start seeing results, it’s like you get addicted, so it’s really fun. It’s really fun to see your body change. I see fitness as a lifetime commitment even though I might not be able to compete forever, I might get injured, I plan on doing it until I can’t walk. It has been a huge lifestyle change.”

John Poorman, senior in management information systems, trains at the Chester E. Peters Recreation Complex on Sept. 13. Poorman will compete in the Oklanhoma City Grand Prix in the men’s physique division on Nov. 5. change, he has also met people in the past two years who have become important to his development as a body builder.

Thomas Austin, senior in kinesiology, met Poorman through a mutual friend at the gym, and it didn’t take long for them to become workout partners, Austin said.

“We have the same prepcoach and I feel I might have inspired him to compete as he

watched me get ready for my own (competition),” Austin said.

Austin said Poorman motivates people around him to be excellent in what they are doing and part of that is because of his great attitude.

Poorman’s great attitude is a trait that Timothy Esparza, another one of Poorman’s workout partners, said influenced the development of their friendship.

Allowing guns on campus is unsafe, disrupts learning PHILIP NEL

THE COLLEGIAN

On July 1, 2017, Kansas State will join other Kansas universities in a radical new experiment: inviting unregulated firearms onto its campuses. Sure, eight other states’ universities (most recently, Texas) are now legally required to welcome guns into their midst. But Kansas is different. To carry a gun in Kansas, you do not need to learn how to use the weapon. You require no license, no permit, no background check.

To get a gun in Kansas, you need only a heartbeat and a credit card. Currently, you also need to be 21, though our legislature has proposed lowering the age to 18.

Just how dangerous is bringing untrained gun owners’ unlicensed guns into classrooms, dormitories, laboratories, faculty offices, dining facilities, lecture halls, counseling services and the K-State Student Union?

Let me put it this way: The U.S. military does not allow guns in its barracks. The U.S. military does not allow guns in its classrooms (unless the class is actually on how to use those guns). When responsible professionals prohibit

guns from their campuses, you have to wonder why we invite anyone to arrive on our campus armed and untrained.

Advocates of campus carry will tell you that armed students make the campus safer because only a good guy with a gun can stop a bad guy with a gun. They are dead wrong. Untrained gun owners are ill-equipped to respond to such emergencies. It’s one thing to hit a target on a firing range, and quite another to hit a moving target who is firing at you and your classmates.

Also, in active-shooter situations, first responders are trained to shoot all people holding weapons as they cannot know who is the aggressor and who is the defender. As The New York Times observed last year, “Concealed carry does not transform ordinary citizens into superheroes. Rather, it compounds the risks to innocent lives.”

In addition to increasing the risk of suicide and fatal accident, armed students make other students uncomfortable and squelch debate. A university should be a safe place where students can discuss important but uncomfortable subjects, where they can engage in vigorous exchanges of ideas. Campus carry changes this dynamic: When

every student is a student with a potential gun, an unspoken threat revokes the safety that sustains freedom of speech.

If this troubles you, then please speak up before it is too late. Our legislature and governor created these laws;

they can also change them. The particular law that needs changing is called the “Personal and Family Protection Act.” (No, I’m not joking, that’s really its name.)

Contact the governor. Contact your local representative.

Register to vote. On Sept. 27 at

5:15 p.m., come to the Kansans Against Campus Carry meeting in the Ecumenical Campus Ministry building. And, on Nov. 8, vote.

Students need to use resources available to prepare for life post-graduation

KELSEY KENDALL THE COLLEGIAN

While I was trying to help a friend create a professional resume for a job he was interested in after college, I started to wonder how many college students are actually prepared

for life after graduation. This friend only had one job, with completely unrelated job experience, and no activities or leadership positions to list on his resume.

We managed to put together a professional, if slightly bare, resume, but he can’t be the only one struggling with this issue. Fastweb’s article, “College grads: How your resume should look” describes the perfect resume as containing related work experience, leadership and extracurricular activities, contact information and an objective, yet how many students actually know that in time to do something about it?

This might seem simple enough, but for those who have focused on school their entire time in college, including all of that on a resume could call for some creative thinking.

That isn’t the only problem, though. When it comes to be that time when you’re finally making those professional resumes, it is most likely too late to start doing those resume-building activities.

I once had a professor say GPA doesn’t matter to employers if an applicant has zero experience in the field they are applying in. My professor may have been talking about jobs in journalism, but it applies

across all fields.

Sam Korach, graduate student at the Farmer School of Business at Miami University, agrees, saying a high GPA may land you an interview, but it doesn’t mean much compared to experience in his USA Today College article “What employers really look for in recent college graduates.”

This doesn’t mean to completely ignore grades and assignments; it just means don’t forget to gain experience doing what you want to do in the long run.

Without resume-building activities, graduates looking for jobs don’t have much to showcase their qualifications. This

is an issue that actually affects their chances.

Students should be looking more into these kinds of activities, and if they aren’t sure what could help, they need to seek out advice. There’s no shame in that. Advisers and the Career Center intend to specifically help students prepare for post-graduation life.

Events happen on campus almost all semester long, and students need to be taking advantage of them from the start. The Career Center conducts mock interviews, holds workshops, offers free professional photos and more for students, according to their Kansas State page. They even

have a closet of professional clothes for students going into job interviews.

Taking the time to use these resources and taking their advice can mean less stress when it comes time to start thinking of what life is going to look like after college.

FAIR | Employers ‘consistently impressed with the K-State students they hire’ continued from page

3

Tuesday saw students from the colleges of Agriculture, Arts and Sciences, Business Administration and Human Ecology.

Today is open to all majors, and Thursday focuses on recruiting majors in engineering and technology.

“We hope that it will enhance the student experience so that if students have particular kinds of organizations that they’re looking for that they’ll be able to find them more easily,” Keller said of the industry-specif-

ic days.

Alexandra Lyle, sophomore in biological systems engineering, attended the career fair for the second time in search of a summer internship.

“I think (the goal) is to give students the opportunity to look at a lot of companies that they never would have thought to look at because, at least for engineering, there’s a lot of companies that want engineers that you would never imagine want engineers,” Lyle said.

The Career Center provides students with additional services

leading up to the event, such as the Fast Pass, which Keller said helps reduce some of the time students spend waiting in line to get in. Last year the Career Center handed out more than 1,000 Fast Passes to students who ordered ahead of time, and Keller said they expect that number to keep rising.

The Career Center also offers mock interviews and resume critiques year-round.

The VIP Tours are specific for freshmen to get an idea of what goes on at a career fair.

Keller said she has noticed com-

panies are recruiting students for internships at a younger age in recent years.

“We want students to get comfortable with meeting employers and having that discussion about who they are and what they have to offer to an employer,” Keller said.

Cargill is one of many nationwide companies that are regulars at the career fair.

“We come to K-State because this is where we seek out the best talent, and we’ve invested in that talent,” said Morgan, a Cargill representative and K-State

alum, who could not release his full name due to company policy.

Morgan said the company is consistently impressed with the K-State students they hire.

“Last year K-State was the number one school, above Iowa State, for college recruits for internships and trainees,” Morgan said.

An ATA bus will run from various locations on campus to the career fair every 10 to 20 minutes. Students are advised to bring their Student ID and multiple copies of their resume, as well as dress professionally. Visit

k-state.edu to search employers attending, view an ATA bus map for the event and prepare for the career fair.

“K-State is quite a draw for a lot of employers,” Keller said.

“Sometimes it is particular majors like grain science that we have here, but the other thing is, a lot of employers recognize and have experienced that K-State graduates bring more than just their education. They bring a lot of experience and a work ethic quite often, and those are the things you can’t teach, you can’t train in an individual.”

Players preview Saturday’s matchup Danielle Cook | THE COLLEGIAN

LIBRA Sept. 23 - Oct. 22

Congratulations, you have to be the world-record holder for amount of time spent as a hot mess. I don’t know if not having it together most of the time is just a side effect of the busy life you lead or if it is a true gift of yours, but either way, you should probably look into getting it together sometime soon.

SCORPIO Oct. 23 - Nov. 21

Everything in your life seems to be going sideways lately, and you can’t figure out why or how to set it straight. (Gee, if only there was some kind of celestial guidance offered to you every week that could help you out...kind of like a horoscope, maybe?)

SAGITTARIUS Nov. 22 - Dec. 21 You’re starting to feel like your unhealthy eating habits are dragging you down, but can you ever really be down when you have pizza?

Think about it.

CAPRICORN Dec. 22 - Jan. 19

You’re starting to lose yourself in trying to keep everyone else happy. I’d tell you to chat with a Libra pal for balancing advice, but we all know Libra’s a hot mess right now. You’re better off trying to figure it out yourself, honestly.

AQUARIUS Jan. 20 - Feb. 18

You’ve been in a weird funk lately, but it’s time to return to your natural state of not really caring what others think of you. If you like that ugly sweater, wear that ugly sweater. If you think aliens exist, say so. Don’t let the rest of us with our judge-y tendencies get you down.

PISCES Feb. 19 - March 20

Know your limits when it comes to the flirting game. I mean, we know you’re cute, but if you’re not careful, you come off as either really brash or really basic (or both at the same time...yikes) to potential suitors.

ARIES March 21 - April 19

You’ll experience true sleep deprivation this week. Long story, don’t ask. Just be prepared to drop the majority of your last paycheck on coffee.

TAURUS April 20 - May 20

Someone will ask you for relationship advice this week. Don’t give any. You know as well as I do that you have no idea what you’re talking about.

GEMINI May 21 - June 20

Make a point to eat breakfast more often. It’s good for you. Plus, making it a habit might make getting up at a more decent time a habit of yours as well. Just try it. If bacon isn’t a good reason to get out of bed, then the stars know what is.

CANCER June 21 - July 22

You’ll butt heads with a friend this week, but it’ll be fine (as long as they’re not an Aries or something).

LEO July 23 - Aug. 22

You might be tempted to ignore a big responsibility this week. Do it if you dare.

VIRGO Aug. 23 - Sept. 22

You’ve been super busy and your pet has been super lonely. Make more time for it, or it may attempt to run away. If you don’t have a pet, don’t get one now — you’re busy.
