CORRECTIONS There was an error in the Oct. 19 issue in the article “Students unite to create survivor-centered campus.” The article states that “The K-State Center for Advocacy, Response and Education provides services and advocacy for survivors of sexual violence. The current policy surrounding this service requires that every case of sexual assault be reported. This means that advocates for the CARE office are required to report cases that are shared in confidentiality.” This statement is inaccurate. The CARE office on campus is not required to report every case of sexual assault. If you have further questions about the confidentiality of CARE advocates please contact their office or Heather Reed, assistant vice president of student life.

K-State choral association helps students come together MEGAN FISH

THE COLLEGIAN

The American Choral Director’s Association is one of a few student organization on Kansas State’s campus that is specific to choral music. They are trying to better the choral community all together, Stephanie Goering, senior in music education and president of K-State’s chapter of ACDA, said.

Goering said that the organization is introducing a new program this year called “music mates,” where they pair upperclassman with underclassman members so they can learn from one another.

“We’re basically fostering a community within ACDA instead of individuals,” Goering said. “It’s really student-centered (that way).”

The organization also holds activity nights where the members get together and simply have fun, Goering said.

They held an ice cream social this past September and are having a Halloween party on

Stephanie Goering, senior in music education, is the president of K-State’s chapter of American Choral Director’s Association.

Oct. 27th.

“You just get to be in a big group of people that all love choir in a non-choir situation,” Goering said.

Their semimonthly meetings are a mix of music education labs, guest speakers and social events, like the ice cream social, for members to come

and just have fun, Goering said.

The music labs are designed to help the members hone their music skills. They work on everything from

sight-singing, music education and practice conducting and directing an ensemble, Goering said.

Sarah Keller, sophomore in music education, said that she enjoys the labs because they’re in more of a fun environment and they are able to work on their skills outside of the classroom.

“You’re doing (labs) with other people with who, that’s their goal, is to improve themselves and you’re not taking away time from non-majors this way,” Keller said.

In the past, music professionals such as Janeal Krehbiel, founder and artistic director of the Lawrence Children’s Choir and David Wood, music professor at K-State, have come and spoken to the organization.

Bringing in music professionals around the K-State area gives the members the opportunity to get advice they can use after college, according to Goering.

“The biggest benefit I get out of ACDA is the opportunity to develop as a music educator with other growing professionals,” Ryan Dillon, senior in mu-

sic education and ACDA’s public relations chair, said.

On top of their meetings, members are also able to attend regional and national ACDA conferences to be able to network with directors and develop their professional skills, Goering said.

“I went to one day of the Southwestern conference last school year and left with a million applications which I’ve used to better my personal musicianship and my leadership as a conductor,” Dillon said.

Goering said that ACDA’s goal is to help people better themselves as choir members.

ACDA is a national organization composed of both choral directors and student chapters, as well as both music majors and and non-music majors.

“Being a part of ACDA is such a rewarding experience for me,” Goering said. “Not only do I get to work with so many awesome choral lovers and future music educators from our school, but I get to connect with others from all over the state and country who have the same love of choir as I do.”

Solid start for Kansas State softball club BLAKE REID

THE COLLEGIAN

The Kansas State softball club kicked off their season on Oct. 1 at the Mizzou Madness softball tournament in Baldwin, Missouri, placing third overall.

Connie Miller, head coach of the team, said her expectation for the game and the rest of the season is for the girls to be competitive.

“I think the expectation was to be competitive and to try and put together a cohesive group that could step out on the field every time and compete,” Miller said.

The team did just that in the Mizzou Madness tournament with a win over Southern Illinois University Edwardsville, where they beat them 15

to 0. Later, they took on Illinois State University, who handed Kansas State their first loss of the season in pool play.

According to Kayla Mesh, junior in computer science and math and co-president of the softball club, K-State rebounded, putting the loss behind them and finished their pool play with two more victories.

First, a victory over Washington University from St. Louis, Missouri, and then another win over former Big 12 foe, the University of Missouri Tigers, with a score of 4 to 2.

K-State finished their first day 3-1.

Miller said the team moved on to the winner’s bracket where they lost to Missouri. K-State ended up taking third place in the tournament.

“We had a lot of real-

ly good defensive plays, we played really solid defensive all weekend,” Miller said. “There was only one game and actually only one inning in one game where we got a little rattled in the second game against Illinois State. Everyone contributed offensively up and down the whole lineup, it was really a nice team effort.”

Mesh said there were a few bumps in the road, which are expected during the first tournament of any season.

“Nobody got down on each other. Obviously there were mistakes made during the tournament, but when they were made we all kind of picked each other up,” Mesh said.

Miller said she was very happy with the team’s performance.

“As a pitcher, I rely on my defense to back me up and they made all the plays when they needed too,” Mesh said, “We all batted well, I think we did very well.”

Mesh also said she and the team were excited to kick off the season and have the opportunity to play softball again.

She said her favorite part about being on the team is getting to play with girls who are just as passionate about the sport as she is.

Tori Burkhart, sophomore in mass communications and co-president of the club, said that the group of girls are really unique compared to a lot of other teams.

“We all kind of come together as a team, we have different personalities,” she said.

“We’re more like a family.”

Basics of renters insurance: where and how to start looking EMILY PORTER

THE COLLEGIAN

After the fire at the Founders Hill apartment complex Monday afternoon in Manhattan, a concern for students, parents and landlords is how to protect valuables and what happens when they are not protected.

For many renters in the area, renters insurance is mandatory. Renters insurance can help replace or cover the financial costs of damaged or stolen property, among other things.

Having insurance can help in instances of water damage, fire damage, damage from windstorms and many other hazards, according to the City of Manhattan’s website.

The 2014 national average policy cost for renters insurance is about $15 a month, according to Forbes. The price also varies within the insurance provider and students interested can visit an insurance provider’s website to find out information.

Students looking to get more information about the

general ideas of renters insurance can visit the Office of Student Activities and Services or visit their website for tips and advice. On the website is a tab with information pertaining to students who are living in off-campus housing or those

who are considering moving to off-campus housing.

The City of Manhattan also has a page on their website concerning renters insurance under the Manhattan Fire Department subcategory. There, renters can find a inventory

sheet to help them make a list of valuables to determine the amount of coverage.

The first step toward getting insured is to value assets.

Many students do not think they have much, perhaps just a television and a computer. However,

New general included in two deployments JASON TIDD

THE COLLEGIAN

The U.S. Army will deploy soldiers from Fort Riley to two overseas countries.

Wednesday, the Army announced about 3,500 soldiers from the 1st Armored Brigade Combat Team and the 1st Infantry Division, which is based

out of Fort Riley, will deploy to the Republic of Korea as part of the regular rotation, according to Military.com.

On Oct. 14, the Army announced about 500 soldiers from the 1st Infantry Division Headquarters in Fort Riley will deploy to Iraq to replace soldiers from the 101st Airborne Division. The soldiers will train, advise and assist Iraqi

Security Forces, according to Military.com.

In late July, the Army announced that another 800 soldiers from Fort Riley were going to be deployed to Afghanistan.

On Tuesday, Maj. Gen. Joseph Martin completed the change of command ceremony to become the commanding general of the 1st Infantry Division and Fort Riley, according

to KSNT. He will be included in the deployment to Iraq.

Martin’s command comes after the Army fired Maj. Gen. Wayne Grigsby last month. An investigation regarding his dismissal is ongoing.

On Oct. 12, Fort Riley held a ribbon-cutting ceremony for the Irwin Army Community Hospital, according to KSNT.

Old Foundation building needs new name JASON TIDD

THE COLLEGIAN

K-State community members will have the opportunity to choose the new name of an old campus building.

The old Foundation building will be renamed due to the construction of the new Foundation building.

To vote, go to http:// www.k-state.edu/facilities/ projects/space/naming/vote/.

Anyone with an eID can vote.

The options are Wildcat Tower, Unger Building, Switzer Building and Will Hall.

Elizabeth Unger was a professor, researcher and administrator at K-State. Veryl Switzer was a football player, both for K-State and the Green Bay

Packers, before serving as administrative and athletic department positions at the university.

Thomas Will was president of Kansas State Agriculture College from 1897-1899 and is one of two former presidents without a building named after him.

things add up.

Electronics, beds and desks, academic supplies like textbooks and backpacks and an entire wardrobe of clothes and shoes are a few things that a fire or other unforeseen circumstance can take. While buying a shirt

does not seem like it would cost much money, buying an entire new closet of clothing can be costly and time-consuming.

The second step toward getting insured is to compare prices of insurance policies. The Kansas Insurance Department has a tool that will compare insurance policy prices based on the county a person is renting in.

This can be helpful in the next step toward getting coverage.

After determining the worth of the valuables in the apartment or home and then comparing insurance policy prices, talking to an insurance provider is the third step. While there may be bundles with health, life or auto insurance policies, there are multiple companies that offer only renters insurance.

Finally, some helpful questions to consider asking an insurance representative may be: what proof is needed when making a claim, what exactly is covered—for example, if a flood is covered, is a sewage backup covered?—and what help or support will be available from the insurance agency.

LIBRA Sept. 23 - Oct. 22

You have a million and one things to do before Halloween hits and you’re still caught between costumes. I know you have a tough time with choices, but get to choosing! If you don’t start now, it could lead to some seriously scary business.

SCORPIO Oct. 23 - Nov. 21

Pumpkin spice and everything nice? Please.

The stars have seen how salty you really are, Scorpio, and they’ll be watching you from now on, so learn to check yourself.

SAGITTARIUS Nov. 22 - Dec. 21 You’ve learned so many new things this week!

You’re more in the loop than ever, but beware, Sagittarius; sometimes ignorance really is bliss. If someone you know says they have a secret to tell you, don’t be surprised, but do run away screaming with your hands over your ears.

CAPRICORN Dec. 22 - Jan. 19

You’ve been a busy bee this fall. Sadly, bees are currently endangered, so you might want to find a different animal to be like for the rest of the season if you’re going to keep at it.

AQUARIUS Jan. 20 - Feb. 18

You’ll forget about something incredibly important this weekend. Don’t bother trying to think of things now that you might forget about later — the stars say it’s inevitable, even though they’re warning you about it ahead of time.

PISCES Feb. 19 - March 20

Your life is about to get super weird — and we’re talking, like, “The Rocky Horror Picture Show” weird, here. Start learning the “Time Warp” now because there’s nothing you can to do avoid the freaky turn things are about to take.

ARIES March 21 - April 19

Keep it classy, kid. You’re not naturally the most graceful of the signs, but you’ve been struggling with sloppiness even more than usual all autumn. Don’t worry, though. Literally nothing else will matter once Halloween candy goes on sale in November.

TAURUS April 20 - May 20

Looks like you’ll soon be driven to walk away from something old in your life that’s no longer working. Seriously, though, the stars say that something old is most likely your car, so start walking.

GEMINI May 21 - June 20

Do something nice this weekend. Whether it’s something nice for yourself or for someone else, the stars say you can’t lose with muffins.

CANCER June 21 - July 22

You should probably stop skipping class. The professor of your 100-person lecture may not notice you’ve been missing all semester, but remember that cutie that caught your eye on the first and only day you attended that lecture? They notice that you’re missing.

LEO July 23 - Aug. 22

Lighten up, Leo! The skies have seemed a little more grey to you than usual, but that’s just because the sky really is a little more grey than usual — IT’S FALL. Embrace the gloom.

VIRGO Aug. 23 - Sept. 22

Just in case you didn’t know, your lucky number this week is about 60-ish. You’re welcome.

Talley looks to finish K-State career on high note BRETT ENGLE

THE COLLEGIAN

Some people are born with natural talent. Some people solve math equations right when they see them. Then there are people like senior Madison Talley, who could hit a golf ball from the get-go.

“I first started golfing when I was 8,” Talley said. “My dad golfed with friends and was stuck with me one day and I said, ‘I wanna try.’”

Soon after, her dad bought her a junior set of clubs and they returned to the course.

“I hit the ball on the first try and knew then that I could be pretty good at it,” Talley said.

After that, Talley golfed regularly and began registering and competing in tournaments. She said she did well in the tournaments and won some trophies.

In high school, the Clarksville, Arkansas, native won not one, not two, but three state championships.

“Golf wasn’t too popular at my school but it was a lot of fun

There was no doubt she

could go play in college, but the main question was where. Her final destination even came as a bit of a shock to her.

Kansas State women’s soccer wraps up innagural season in Illinois SCOTT POPP

THE COLLEGIAN

The Kansas State women’s soccer team heads to Normal, Illinois, today to take on the Illinois State Redbirds in their final match of their inaugural season.

The Wildcats (4-8-3) are heading into the game on a bit of a decline. They have now lost three matches in a row and lost five straight on the road.

K-State last took the field on Monday when they faced Missouri State in Springfield,

Missouri.

The game was close throughout most of the first half but in just a 15 minute stretch, the Wildcats fell behind by two goals.

Missouri State scored in the 42nd minute right before halftime and then again in the 55th minute after halftime, putting the Cats in a 2-0 deficit that they just couldn’t overcome.

K-State will try to get back on track against the Redbirds today, but that will be no easy task. Illinois State (9-5-2) is on a nine-game unbeaten streak

and have not lost a match since Sept. 8 against Northwestern.

The Redbirds are led by senior midfielder Lauren Koehl who has an outstanding 28 points on a team-high 12 goals and four assists. For comparison, the Wildcats top scorer is Tatum Wagner with just 10 points on three goals and four assists.

K-State and Illinois State will kick off at 7 p.m. in Adelaide Street Field. The game can be seen on ESPN3 and heard on 101.5 KROCK and kstatesports.com.

Sophomore Haley Sutter reaches for the ball from one of UMKC’s players during K-State’s fourth soccer match of the season on Sept. 30.

K-State but wasn’t going to go there,” Talley said. “I came and saw the town, coaches and university and saw all of the people and cool places and really liked

it. It felt like home.”

After an ordinary freshman season, Talley began to break out her sophomore season. Talley had eight top-20 finishes, five top-10 finishes and also qualified for regionals.

She said the success came as a bit of a shock to her.

“It all just kind of happened and I just wanted to go with the flow,” Talley said. “I just kept playing well and realized regionals was a possibility and didn’t expect it until I was there.”

The success didn’t stop there, as Talley added eight more top-20 finishes and four more top-10 finishes her junior year.

“I had the realization that I could compete on the collegiate level with other big name colleges in the SEC, Big 10 and Big 12 which gave me confidence,” Talley said.

Her junior year, she was able to finish fourth at the Big 12 Championship, making her the first ever Wildcat to finish in the top 10.

“It was really cool and a big honor,” Talley said. “The team

we have now has really made an impact on this program and I just try to use my successes to help motivate the team and make it better.”

Talley, along with the rest of the team, has big plans this year.

“Our number one goal is to make it to regionals as a team and compete on that next stage level,” Talley said.

Talley said she also wants to win a tournament this year, which would be her first collegiate win.

“It would be awesome to win a tournament,” Talley said.

“I’ve came close a couple times but it’s never worked out and if it’s meant to happen it will but it’s not something I’m going to stress over.”

After playing at K-State and the countless number of swings she’s taken over the years, Talley said she thinks she owes it to herself to try and turn professional.

“After all of the hard work that I have put in over the last few years, I think I deserve at least a shot to try and go pro,” Talley said.
