‘Giving love is key’: Veteran passes MHK on 1,000-mile protest walk REBECCA VRBAS THE COLLEGIAN
Pascha Morgan, an activist from Iowa who is walking across the country to protest treatment of asylum-seeking migrants, passed through Manhattan on Wednesday and Thursday on his way to Texas. On foot, Morgan has traveled about 300 miles of the 1,200 journey between Iowa and Clint, Texas. A self-professed history buff, Morgan said World War II has always been a topic of interest to him, and learning of the conditions in detention centers on the border put it in new perspective for him. “When I heard the report, I just couldn’t sleep for like a week and a half, I couldn’t do anything but think about these people,” Morgan said. “Something about it was just too familiar.”
As a crime-victim advocate for the Iowa-based nonprofit Creative Visions, Morgan said the issue was not something he could throw money at or use fame to rally people to the cause, but he felt the need to do something. “In this country we walk,” Morgan said. “We walk, we march, we sit, we stand, we do all kinds of things when we feel like injustice is part of it … and so I thought, ‘I’ll walk.’ I just had to do something.” “One of the things I tell people is, this isn’t really so much about policy as it is about people,” Morgan continued. “Right now, there’s nothing I can do about the policies. But I do know there’s a better way to do it … I feel we’re better than this, we just are as a society. This is, people deserve love and people deserve humanity. And that is not a privilege, that is a right of every person who breathes upon this earth.”
Beth Chrzastek, his wife of 10 years, said over the phone that she is proud of her husband’s mission and message. She also said it’s never ideal to pack up and put your job and life on hold when you have a family. “The first thing that went through my mind when Pascha was like ‘I’m gonna walk,’ is, ‘That’s really so Pascha,’” Chrzastek said. “He’s always been a very big activist … when it comes to something he feels strongly about.” With eight kids, three of whom are still at home, Morgan said the hardest part of the trip is being away from his family. “The journey itself, that’s not something that’s difficult because it’s something that I’m extremely passionate about,” he said. “So there’s a purpose behind it, and so I don’t find that part difficult. Being away from my family, however, that’s the hardest part.” Chrzastek said it was par-
ticularly hard on their youngest daughter. “It’s hard to explain to her why dad is walking, why dad’s not here,” she said. “I just hope people can see that it’s definitely about watching for humanity and compassion for the treatment of the children that are being held at these detention camps. But it’s also showing that you can push self aside in such a selfish world, sometimes, just to show others you care. And his thing was always, ‘Well if one of them see me, if one of them read about me … then they’ll know they’re not alone.’ His love for other people is just incredible, it’s something that you don’t see everyday.” About three weeks into his trip — which he calls “MAD AF” (March Against Detaining Asylum-seeking Families) — Morgan has been traveling at the pace of 10 to 15 miles a day, staying at mostly small towns along the way.
Morgan said one thing the trip has changed about him is what he defines as a small town, as well as his perception of distance. “I just think in terms of walking kind of now,” he said. “Somebody said the other day, they were like, ‘Oh yeah that’s about 30 miles or so away,’ and I’m thinking in my head, ‘Okay that’s two or three days.’” “I’ve kind of been going off, what I call, my angels, along the way,” he said. “I tend to believe in the innate goodness of people, and this trip has done more to enforce that than anything else.” Born in Leavenworth, Kansas, he lived all over the place growing up in a military family. However, he spent a lot of time with family in eastern Kansas in between deployments. “[Kansas] has always kind of been my home away from home,” he said. Morgan gets along mostly by camping at night, but the
American Legion helped provide a room at Super 8 for his stay in Manhattan. He visited Manhattan several times throughout his life, but said it has been a long time. “My biggest impression really coming back 30 someodd years later, is how much it’s changed … it’s amazing how much it’s grown,” he said. Though not everyone may agree on immigration issues, he said, the majority of feedback on his mission along the way has been positive. “When I say things like, ‘Look, regardless of policy, everybody deserves love and everybody deserves human dignity,’ so far nobody has said, ‘No they don’t,’” he said. “I know it’s controversial,” he said. “And I’m not trying to create controversy. I’m just trying to get people to see that humanity’s giving love is key … and see people for what they are, which is human.”

The opponent: Oklahoma State matchup to be a battle of offenses NATHAN ENSERRO THE COLLEGIAN
Emily Lenk | COLLEGIAN MEDIA GROUP
K-State football played against Bowling Green in Bill Snyder Family Stadium on Sept. 7, 2019. The Wildcats beat the Falcons with a final score of 52-0.
The Kansas State football team will head to Stillwater, Oklahoma, this weekend to take on Oklahoma State in the first Big 12 conference game of the season. The Wildcats are coming off a bye week after beating Mississippi State on the road. OSU head coach Mike Gundy has an interesting coaching pedigree. He is a power running disciple of Pat Jones, but he is quick to adapt. Houston head coach Dana Holgorsen, former OSU offensive coordinator, greatly influenced the Cowboy offense. Holgorsen is a member of the Hal Mumme and Mike Leach air raid coaching tree. The Cowboys want to spread K-State’s defense laterally and use sophomore running back Chuba Hubbard to gash the holes.
Hubbard is the nation’s leading rusher, averaging about 160 yards per game with nine touchdowns. While Hubbard is the main threat, K-State head coach Chris Klieman and defensive coordinator Scottie Hazelton will have to deal with Cowboy freshman quarterback Spencer Sanders and junior wide receiver Tylan Wallace. Sanders threw for 268 yards against Texas and ran for another 109 and a touchdown. Wallace had five catches for 83 yards. This offense will be the biggest test of K-State’s defense yet this season. There isn’t much that stands out as special about the Oklahoma State’s defense. It will be interesting to see how they pressure junior quarterback Skylar Thompson after not recording a sack last week. PREDICTION: OSU is a talented team with prolific offense. They pull away late to beat K-State 31-24, but the Wildcats keep it within a possession.
Wildcats are ranked, but that's not the focus of Saturday’s game CODY FRIESEN
THE COLLEGIAN
Kansas State will be heading into conference play on the road against a familiar foe: Oklahoma State. The Wildcats are coming off the bye week now officially ranked at number 24 in the Associated Press Poll. Junior quarterback Skylar Thompson had success against the Cowboys in previous seasons. Thompson is 2-0 over the Cowboys in his career including a 45-40 upset over then tenthranked Oklahoma State in Stillwater. “It gives you confidence going in that you can have success at a place if you’ve been there before,” Klieman said. “You still have to execute. He still has to have a tremendous week of preparation because, obviously, it’s a different offense and it’s a different style of defense, so to speak.” The Cowboys offense is one of the most potent offenses in
the conference, slightly ahead of K-State averaging 44.5 points per game. The Wildcats are averaging 44.0 points per game. Sophomore running back Chuba Hubbard is a crucial part of the Cowboys’ offense, leading the conference in total rushing with 642 yards and nine touchdowns in four games. The next closest in total rushing yards is Kansas’s senior running back Khalil Herbert with has 384 yards through four games. The Cowboys are seventh in the Big 12 in time of possession and like to work quickly. “The hard thing is you have to practice some tempo where you are going quickly, so everybody has to play running back that’s a running back,” Klieman said. “You’re in for a play and you’re quickly lining up and running a play again.” The Wildcats are going on the road as a ranked team for the first time since September 2017, but for the Wildcats it’s vital to focus on the job at hand. “I’m just trying to not think
about the rankings too much. It’s a good and bad thing,” junior linebacker Elijah Sullivan said. “Practicing the details, knowing the schemes and watching film on the other team. It comes down to what we have been doing the past couple of weeks, so we just got to improve.” Senior offensive lineman Scott Frantz is a crucial part of the rushing success for K-State. “It’s been crazy. Going into spring, there was a time when we didn’t have a running back who was on scholarship,” Frantz said. The Wildcats had no definite starting running backs heading into the season, but K-State has since displayed a large group of dominant backs. “Going from that situation, with a bunch of red flags, like don’t we have a running back to now our running backs are amazing, and our offensive line is playing really well. It’s just been an amazing ride. I can’t say enough about this coaching staff,” Frantz said.
The Wildcats currently lead the conference in several categories through three games and
will look toward a long road to the Big 12 Championship with a dual with Oklahoma State. The
Wildcats will travel to Stillwater to face the Cowboys on Saturday at 6:30 p.m. on ESPN+.

K-State football will fight tempo with tempo against OK State NATHAN ENSERRO THE COLLEGIAN
When Kansas State’s football team heads to Stillwater, Oklahoma, this weekend they will embark on head coach Chris Klieman’s first Big 12 season. The Cowboys will also be the first truly high tempo spread offensive team the Wildcats face this season. While the Wildcats have certainly restructured practices to help get ready for the tempo, they have another weapon against fast-paced offenses: slow offense. The idea is pretty simple, the longer junior quarterback Skylar Thompson and his offense is on the field, the less time the defense is out there and the more rest they get against an offense designed to tire them out. “I think that’s going to be the message all year: ‘How
much of that play clock can we control on offense?’” senior offensive lineman Scott Frantz said at Tuesday’s press conference. This should be a familiar thing for K-State fans. Running down the play clock until the home crowd counts down the last seconds before snapping the ball has become a hallmark of K-State football over the last few years. The concept has worked for K-State so far. K-State has the ninth most efficient offense in the nation, according to ESPN’s efficiency rankings. The Wildcats are tenth in the nation in average time of possession, holding the ball for 34:53 on average. Against Bowling Green, another hurry-up no-huddle offense, K-State held the ball for nearly 43 of the game’s 60 minutes. To be clear, Oklahoma State is a far better football team than Bowling Green.
The Cowboys are more talented on both sides of the ball, have better schemes and will put up points. That clock domination comes primarily from the fact that K-State ran the ball on nearly 70 percent of their plays this season and completed almost 65 percent of their passes. As long as those plays end in the field of play, the Wildcats can huddle up and run the clock down and keep some of the high flying offenses off the field. “Big 12 offenses are very good and they like to throw the ball around,” Frantz said. “So if we can control the clock game in and game out, I think we are going to be very successful this year.” Keeping the offense on the field and the defense healthy and rested will be a key to preventing big plays and winning games this season for K-State.

The Red Raiders are coming off a bye week to face Oklahoma without starting sophomore quarterback Alan Bowman, who is expected to miss several weeks with a shoulder injury. Bowman leads the confer-
ence in passing yards with 1,020 in three games. Junior quarterback Jett Duffey will likely be the starter for the Red Raiders. Junior wide receiver T.J.

The Horned Frogs enter their Big 12 opener against Kansas at 11 a.m. on Saturday as the 15.5-point favorite.
Baylor escaped an upset with a 21-13 win over Rice on Saturday, improving to 3-0. Junior quarterback Charlie Brewer threw for 303 yards and one touchdown. Brewer also led the Bears in rushing with 12 carries for 58 yards and a touchdown.

Cats’ Cupboard hopes to maintain momentum from fundraising day ANNA SCHMIDT THE COLLEGIAN
Since Cats’ Cupboard opened its doors on Sept. 25, 2017, the number of students visiting the campus food pantry has dramatically increased. Upon first opening, the food pantry served around three students per day. By spring 2019, that number grew to an average of about 22 students, and this month the number comes out to 32 students per day, according to a campus poll. Last March, the pantry partnered with the Kansas State University Foundation to raise over $320,000 from a variation of over 1,400 donations. Coordinator Erin Bishop said this funding brought several changes throughout Cats’ Cupboard, including a new position in the office, increased usage of the pantry and the passage of the Kansas Health Foundation Grant which allows Cats’ Cupboard to extend its reach to K-State faculty and staff. The money also allowed Cats’ Cupboard to partner with Harvesters Community Food Network.

The Mountaineers defeated the Jayhawks last Saturday. Senior running back Martell Pettaway had six carries for 40 yards and two touchdowns.

West Virginia have a bye week before hosting Texas.

In addition to the recent fundraising, Student Government Association is working to contribute to the food pantry. Sadie Polson, chief of staff and senior in marketing, explained that as tuition continues to rise, SGA hopes to make the pantry an easy and accessible option for all students. “Forty-six percent of students have at some point been food insecure or have skipped a meal,” Polson said. “Our administration in SGA has made it a priority to focus on food insecurity. We are trying to lock down funding to start an endowment for Cats’ Cupboard. We’re also looking at other options as far as opening up different stations across campus.” Bishop added that help from students is another huge factor in what keeps the pantry functioning. Volunteer spots for the pantry are full, but she said students can always help out in other ways. “If students have clubs or organizations, they can consider hosting a food drive,” Bishop said. Looking forward, Bishop said she hopes growth continues. The current goals at Cats’ Cupboard are to continue keeping the shelves stocked,
working with the regional food bank, engage the larger community and get additional help for food drives. Through several upcoming events, Bishop and the Cats’ Cupboard team are working to spread the word about the campus pantry to reach those goals. They are currently campaigning for the Hunger Action month of September with different events such as tabling in the K-State Student Union to start conversation with students about food insecurity. They will also hold an open cupboard event Oct. 14 to 18 and a World Food Day celebration on Oct. 16. Riley County is the most food insecure county in the state of Kansas, and college students tend to be particularly in a bind. That is why the upcoming events are so important, and spreading the word is essential, Bishop said. “We know that word-ofmouth is our most effective marketing campaign,” Bishop said. “Sixty-four percent of students go to Cats’ Cupboard because someone they trusted told them about it. So, the more folks we can get through the door the more we can spread that awareness.”
urday, but sophomore running back Chuba Hubbard got his work in with 37 carries for 121 yards and two touchdowns. Hubbard leads the Big 12 in rushing yards and a touchdown with 642 yards and nine touchdowns through four games. Oklahoma State is the third-highest scorer in the Big 12 but ranks seventh in time of possession. The trademark fastpaced offense could be a problem for opponents. The Cowboys will play K-State on Saturday at 6:00 p.m. on ESPN+.
James Gilbert is sixth in the conference in rushing, averaging 92.3 yards per game. The Wildcats rush for an average of 280 yard per game on offense, putting them behind only Oklahoma. K-State’s defense is first in scoring defense. Opponents average 13 points per game. K-State heads into conference play looking to make a statement against Big 12 opponents.

“No rush,” a waiter says, sliding their check on the table. The boy sighs and glances up, answering, “Actually, can we get this split?” The boy is Burke Clements, freshman in mathematics, and he’s no stranger to situations like these. It happens often, he said: “Anytime
I’d go out to eat with my best friend, they’d ask if her and I were dating, and when we’d say ‘No’, they’d ask if we were siblings.” “I’m gay,” he said. “I’ve known for a while, but I thought I was bisexual up until this year.” Him coming out, Clements said, was a domino effect. He didn’t feel the need to keep his sexuality hidden, but he was reluctant to explain himself to everyone he knew.
