T
he food court in the K-State Student Union closed Friday to make space for changes brought about by phase two of the Union renovation. In the temporary absence of the food court, which was home to many dining options, Bosco Student Plaza will house a variety of food trucks. According to Bill Smriga, executive director of the Union, a team from the Union advertised openings on campus for food trucks and visiting food festivals over the summer to attract applications to serve at K-State during the Union’s renovation period. Seven food trucks were chosen after the applications were reviewed. Smriga said each food truck is paying a “small commission” to serve its food on campus. “This is a downtime for food trucks, being wintertime, so we’re giving them the opportunity to be in business and make a little bit of money, and the benefit to the university is that we can still offer more than we would otherwise when the food court’s shut down,” Smriga said. “We hope that it’s going to be a win-win for everybody.” According to Audrey Taggart-Kagdis, director of marketing for the Union, bringing in the food trucks is a way to offer students the same variety of dining options that

New peer coaching program intends to help students

Manhattan Mayor Karen McCulloh voiced her displeasure with the state government of Kansas after reviewing proposed changes to city elections and terms of service during the Manhattan City Commission meeting Tuesday. “I am not at all pleased at what the state has done to us,” McCulloh said. “I think this is grossly unfair, and I think that we at local government know how to run our business very well, and I really resent the state’s messing in our business and telling us what to do when we have historically had local elections in April. Everybody knows that they’re in April and I see no benefit holding them in November, nor do I see a real benefit in having an almost two-month lapse before people take their position. We’re local government, we want to keep things as simple and easy and doable as possible, and I am very angry at what they have done to us.” McCulloh was referencing House Bill 2104, a Kansas law that changes requirements for local governments. According to the bill, all local elections, including city and school board, must be held in November of odd-numbered years. Among other changes to local governments, it also requires that the term of the newly-elected official begins on the second Monday of January following the election. Prior to the law, Manhattan held elections in April of odd-numbered years. The new terms began at the first regular meeting after the election, which typically would be within a couple of weeks later.

K-State StrengthsQuest kicked off the spring semester by officially launching its peer coaching program Tuesday. According to Jessica Arnold, K-State StrengthsQuest coordinator, Strengths Advocates set out to put the “next piece” of StrengthsQuest into action around a year ago.
StrengthsQuest, a program developed by Gallup, uses the Clifton StrengthsFinder assessment to reveal individuals’ top five strengths and then provides resources that help the individuals understand the strengths. “I’m just really excited to see this initiative happen,” Arnold said. “This has been something that we’ve wanted to do for a long time, and we’re kind of making that dream happen by providing the peer coaching on campus. I’m also excited to see all of the students that we’re go-
ing to help through this.” The coaching program was designed to give students the opportunity to delve deeper into the pool of their strengths, Arnold said. After completing the StrengthsFinder web assessment and discovering their top five strengths, students can request a coaching session with a trained peer pulled from Strengths Advocates. During the session, students can learn how to utilize these strengths in their academic, professional and personal development.

Alexandra Parr, junior in communication studies, participated in a soft launch of the program in December, acting as a trial student for peer coaches in training. Parr said that when she received her her top five strength results on the test, she was disappointed in them at first. She said she originally believed her strengths were unimportant or unhelpful, but her peer coaching session helped her understand the power of her strengths and how to harness that power positively. “It really gives you insight into what your strengths are and what your weaknesses are and how to use your strengths to succeed,” Parr said. “It really helped me to better understand myself, and I think that if you continue the coaching, it helps you to better understand others and interact with them as well.” Understanding one’s strengths as an individual also proves useful in career-building, Arnold said. “I’ve heard from other students that I’ve been working with on campus that different companies that they’ve been interviewing with are using strengths in their companies,” Arnold said. “So I think it’s very beneficial for a student to know their top five strengths and how to work those into an interview.” Mackenzie Mong, senior in philosophy and political science and peer coach, said she cannot wait to help other students reach their full potential through peer coaching. “I’m excited to see how it will utilize the K-State spirit,” Mong said. “K-State is so much about family and people helping people, and I think that peer coaching is a great way for students to do that for fellow students.”

The change from 2015 to 2016 may simply be a one-numeral difference to some, but for others, it is the chance to restart. Several K-State students share their New Year’s resolutions as they get back to class this semester. “My New Year’s resolution would be hanging out with the new friends I’ve made at Kansas State, working out more at the Rec and drinking less pop,” Tara Christie, freshman in agribusiness, said. Brian Eck, senior in agricultural economics, said he was going to focus on something a little different this semester. “One resolution this semester is to stay in shape, but my more adultthemed one is to focus on the upcoming job search since I graduate in May,” Eck said. Kylee Burns, senior in elementary education, said her goal is to
“10 Ways to Make Your New Year’s Resolutions Stick,” Newby-Clark said you have to do more than just decide to eat less. “You have to shop and cook differently, start or ramp up an exercise routine, maybe even ditch certain social or family events,” Newby-Clark said. Burns said she is going to take four steps to help her resist the snooze button. First, she said she will place her alarm far away from her bed, which will force her to physically get up to turn it off. Next, she will try to be better at going to bed early. Third, she said she is going to set only one time for the alarm to go off, and lastly, she plans to organize and prepare for the day before going to bed. “Hopefully these small steps will help break my habit for good,” Burns said. New Year’s resolutions are made with baby steps and happen one change at a time. From losing weight to waking up on time, don’t put 2016 on “snooze!”

stop procrastinating in the mornings. “My New Year’s resolution is to stop pressing the snooze button,” Burns said. “I am not a morning person. I always get into the habit of pressing the snooze button, and then it causes me to be rushed in the morning.” In her Huffington Post article “Five New Year’s Resolutions Ideas for College Students,” Alexis Jane Torre recommended setting monthly goals if being consistent with longterm planning seems too daunting. For example, Torre said to start with some tasks for January, like cleaning out your closet or getting in the habit of keeping your room clean. Focus on one new habit each week, month or semester to slowly help form it into a yearly habit. “Once you understand that you have only a limited amount of willpower, it’s easy to understand why multiple resolutions aren’t likely to work,” Ian Newby-Clark, psychologist at the University of Guelph, said to WebMD.

Wildcats work overtime in hopes of defeating Bears AVERY OSEN the collegian
I
t hasn’t been the start to the Big 12 slate that the Wildcats wanted, and it doesn’t seem to get much easier going forward. K-State travels to Waco, Texas, today to take on Baylor at 7:15 p.m. inside the Ferrell Center. The Bears are tied for first in the conference at 4-1 and 14-3 overall. After facing a 2-3 zone in a 13-point loss to the Cyclones, head coach Bruce Weber said he knows it may take some time for his young team to start playing at a high level against a zone defense. “We have got to get shots inside, which should be a simple thing, but it’s hard,” Weber said. “This is a veteran league and we’ve got young guys, which means we have to learn the hard way and learn how to win.” K-State is 11-6 overall and 1-4 in Big 12 play. All of the Wildcats’ losses, except the one to Texas, were against teams in the top 25, which is something Weber said he has noticed. “Four of our six losses are to teams in the top 10 right now,” Weber said. “We are close, but that doesn’t get you anything. We have got to get some wins, but it’s not an easy way to learn. Every game is hard and every win is precious.” Wildcat players have been shoot-
ing early in the morning and watching more film in an attempt to get some things going their way again. “I’ve been watching Baylor, and we need to get better at zone offense, like where we need to attack it,” freshman guard Kamau Stokes said. “We need to move the ball better and find the open space, which will help us, but we’ve been shooting a lot so hopefully we can figure it out.” Stokes, however, said he doesn’t feel there is any added pressure on the team, despite a slow start to conference play. “We have been so close,” Stokes said. “It just means we need to finish the game out.” Weber said the easiest way to beat the zone is to make shots. Baylor is eighth in the Big 12 in field goal percentage allowed, so this could be a key for K-State. “Kansas took Baylor out of their zone by hitting shots, and if we do I’m sure we will see something different too,” Weber said. “I hope we are that effective that they have to go to something else.” But zone might be something the team sees until it figures out how to solve some of its issues. “Oklahoma State will play zone, West Virginia will press up and Mississippi will play zone too, so we will be seeing that for the next couple weeks,” Weber said. “We have to give a little bit more time to it and need to play easier, which is just a learning process.”

Sunflower Showdown tips off semester for women’s basketball LIZ HEATH the collegian
School is back in session and college life has resumed on campuses across the country. Nothing gets students back into the swing of the daily grind after the winter break like a game between two of the longest continuous rivals in women’s college basketball. K-State travels to Lawrence, Kansas, tonight for the Sunflower Showdown. The Jayhawks are 5-12 overall and are sitting last in the Big 12 rankings with an 0-6 record. Kansas is currently struggling to overcome an eight-game losing streak and is ranked eighth or lower in the Big 12 in all categories except freethrow percentage and 3-point field goals made. While K-State had their own struggles at the beginning of conference play, things have been looking
up for the Cats. After dropping their first four conference games, they managed to turn things around, surviving at home with a 47-44 win over Oklahoma State and a 58-49 rematch win against TCU in Bramlage. The main cause of K-State’s struggles has been its defense. Though their defense has improved over the past few games, the Wildcats are allowing their opponent an average of 60.4 points per game. Junior center Breanna Lewis leads part of the defensive improvement with her impressive shot blocking. Lewis has 43 blocked shots so far this season and is averaging 2.5 blocks per game. As a whole, the team has 98 blocks and is ranked second in the Big 12 and 13th in the nation. Against Kansas, the Wildcats’ main concern will be shutting down two of the Jayhawks’ guards. Sophomore Lauren Aldridge leads the team in scoring at 11.4 points
per game. Aldridge is coming off a 10-point performance against West Virginia and shoots .367 from the 3-point line. Aldridge is backed by one of the Big 12’s top freshman in scoring, Kylee Kopatich. At 10.4 points per game, Kopatich ranks third in the Big 12 for freshman in scoring. Kopatich and Aldridge are the only two players on the team who average double digits and are two of only three players who average above five points per game. As a whole, the Jayhawks average 55.1 points per game. Currently, the Wildcats are sitting at eighth in the Big 12 rankings. A win would improve their record to 3-4 in conference play and 13-5 overall. The Wildcats currently lead the series against the Jayhawks 66-46 and are 28-25 in games played in Allen Fieldhouse. K-State has won 24 of the last 30 meetings with Kansas. Tipoff is scheduled for 7 p.m. inside Allen Fieldhouse.

FOOD TRUCKS | Businesses offer variety of food options continued from page
1
Smriga said the food trucks are scheduled to rotate regularly, and they all offer different types of cuisine to help ensure that a variety of food options is offered. “There was no guarantee we would have variety, but what we were looking for was items that would be complementary – not all hamburgers, not all Mexican food, not all barbecue,” Smriga said. “I think for the most part, we’ve accomplished that and given the campus a number of choices.” According to the Union’s website, the featured food trucks will include a rotation of three Manhattan vendors: Mr. K’s Cafe and Bar, Tasty Traveler and Vista, and four vendors from surrounding towns: Dry Creek Buffalo Chuckwagon, Roll-n-Smoke, Los Toritos and Big Boyz BBQ. Some of these trucks are tied to local restaurants and restaurants of surrounding areas, and others are their own entities, Smriga said. Katie VanVleet, owner of Tasty Traveler, said she believes the opportunity to offer food service to the students of K-State will provide a fresh perspective and new ideas about different types of food to serve. “I think just being exposed to the student market — which we really haven’t been exposed to yet — I think that’ll be fun,” VanVleet said. “It’ll be a whole new audience and crowd, and we can kind of see how they like our food and

Now, the state requires that the term begin over two months after the election. Members of the Manhattan City Commission approved over $600,000 in City-University Funds for 2016 projects. Two projects will be administered by the university, totaling almost $350,000. The city will oversee three projects, totaling $280,000. The university will administer the realignment of the intersection of Thurston Street and Lover’s Lane with Manhattan Avenue. A maximum of nearly $150,000 will be spent to shift Lover’s Lane to the north along Manhattan Avenue to align it with Thurston Street. The project includes new crosswalks and lights, handicapped-accessible curbs, a bicycle lane and stormwater improvements. A maximum of $200,000 will be used to make handicapped-accessible renovations to the K-State Student Union Forum Hall. “Forum Hall was built in 1970 and lacks adequate (Americans with Disabilities Act) accessibility items due to its age,” according to a city commission agenda memo by Kiel Mangus, assistant city manager. The city will use a maximum of $200,000 to make infrastructure improvements to North Manhattan Avenue adjacent to the K-State Research Park. Up to $30,000 will be used to assist in the construction of Grand Mere Parkway at Colbert Hills Golf Course. Up to $50,000 will be used to make sidewalk improvements on the east side of Sunset Avenue between College Heights Road and Montgomery Drive in anticipation of increased pedestrian traffic with the opening of Wefald Hall, the new K-State residence hall. City commissioners also approved the first readings of two ordinances that would rezone four total lots near campus from single-family and four-family to multiple-family. Eric Cattell, assistant director for planning for the city, told commissioners that the owner of the lot at 801 Moro St. proposed a six-unit apartment building, and the owner of 917, 919 and 923 Thurston St. proposed a 15-unit building.
