OPUS Battle of the Bands features music genres from rock to hip-hop

PETER LOGANBILL THE COLLEGIAN

On Friday night, the K-State Student Union Program Council hosted the 32nd annual OPUS Battle of the Bands. The lineup included The Box Turtles, In Flow, 3 $hade$ and Clashing Tonalities. The event presented an opportunity for students to show off their musical ability. “We put on Battle of the Bands just to showcase a lot of the talent that we have K-State,” said UPC member Amanda Coatney, junior in food science. “I feel like a lot of people don’t know all that our students have to offer. This is a really great way to show them that.” The Box Turtles took home first place and the $250 prize. Band members Max Byram, Alex Paul, Chris Siegal and Colton Jones played a set of rock songs inspired by bands like Led Zeppelin. Lead guitarist Colton Jones, senior in music, also started the band In Flow, which received second place. “I listened to a of rock music growing up, and since I got to K-State it’s been a lot of jazz,” Jones said. “These are the outlets. I do my outlets with [The] Box Turtles and then In Flow is the [jazz].” Jones said he wants to hone his skills to a point where he can do music for a living. “[My goals are] to keep doing it and to keep making money,” Jones said. “If I can switch off and not do those minimum wage jobs, if I can switch it and just gig and teach. I’m a simple man, simple goals.”

Clashing Tonalities’ Garret Mick prepares himself for his performance in Friday’s OPUS Battle of the Bands. Another group, 3 $hade$, got together just three weeks ago. The group seeks to bring their art to Manhattan and create hip-hop music that does not focus on objectifying women and the love of money. Group member Robert “Rob” James Turnbough II, Manhattan resi-

dent, performed a song which he came up with on the spot as way to relieve recent conflicts in his life. “It was one of the rawest moments I’ve had as a performer,” Turnbough said. “Getting to sing whatever I felt to a bunch of people. That’s just so freeing.” Rae Esser, freshman in social work,

said she enjoyed the variety of genres at the event and also seeing the reactions of the crowd. “That’s my favorite thing, watching the crowd, just seeing how they react,” Esser said. “Seeing who’s dancing, who’s jumping, watching everyone get involved.”

No increase in positive STD screenings despite national trend, Lafene says BAILEY BRITTON THE COLLEGIAN

On Sept. 26, the CDC reported a rise in sexually transmitted diseases for the fourth consecutive year with record-breaking number of cases of gonorrhea, syphilis and chlamydia. Abby King, nurse coordinator at Lafene Health Center, said she doesn’t believe the on-campus health center has treated an abnormal amount of cases in recent years. “The causes of STDs has remained the same: intercourse with an infected person,” Staci Robinett, women’s health practitioner at Lafene, said. “However, I think that more people are hav-

ing unprotected intercourse because they think that STDs won’t happen to them or that getting one won’t be a huge problem.” Robinett said the recent uptick in STD cases on a national scale could be a lack of comprehensive sex education. Furthermore, Robinett said people might not be aware of where to obtain low-cost or fee condoms. “Some have never had to use [a condom] before and may not be informed how,” Robinett said. “They could also be relying on their partner to be aware of how to use one properly.” STD screenings, which are available at Lafene, are recommended annually for women or whenever they encounter a new sexual partner. Women do not

typically show external symptoms when they contract STDs like syphilis or gonorrhea. While there isn’t a calendar recommendation for how often men should be screened, Robinett said, they should be screened if they start to display abnormal symptoms, such as discharge or bumps. “We do have more positive cases in men, but that is because they typically only come in when they show symptoms; women come in when they feel they need it,” Robinett said. “We also screen for STDs during well woman exams, which cover a lot more, such as breast exams.” King said that Lafene does see many women come in to be proactive about their health.

The screening for gonorrhea and chlamydia is a noninvasive swab of the area and can be completed by a patient in the bathroom. For other cases, such as syphilis and HIV, a blood test is required. “You get better peace of mind if you get tested,” Kelli Potter, women’s health nurse at Lafene, said. “It is better to know for sure than to wonder if you have one [than] to not to go to a screening because you are scared of the results.” For those worried about protection against STDs, Robinett reminds students that condoms are free at Lafene and are located in the pharmacy, exam rooms and bathrooms. They are also the best form of contraception that protects against STDs.

K-State discontinues Putnam Scholarship for next academic year JULIE FREIJAT

THE COLLEGIAN

Kate Torline | COLLEGIAN MEDIA GROUP

A view of Anderson Hall. Kansas State is redesigning how it awards merit- and need-based scholarships next school year, nixing the Putnam Scholarship.

The freshman class entering Kansas State in the fall of 2019 will see their opportunities for university financial aid look different than they have in the past. The university will no longer offer the Putnam Scholarship. Previously, the scholarship provided students with $9,000 a year in financial aid in addition to the opportunity to renew it up to three times. Students who received the scholarship scored 32 or higher on the ACT and had a high school GPA of 3.85 or higher. In place of the scholarship, students who apply for the 2019-2020 academic year and meet the same requirements of the Putnam Scholarship will be eligible for the University Scholar Award. This scholarship offers $5,000 a year, renewable up to three times. Students who receive this award can also apply for the Distinguished University Scholar Award, valued at $7,500 and renewable up to three times. “We are redesigning our general scholarship program and criteria that will allow us to award more scholarships to more students and to respond to today’s ever-changing student body,” Pat Bosco, vice president of student life and dean of students, said. “We want to incorporate needbased awards as well as merit as we retool our general scholarship program.” Larry Moeder, associate vice president of student life and executive director of admissions and student financial assistance, said the changes made

to K-State’s scholarships are part of a process to help more students attend college. “Everybody agrees that higher education is not getting cheaper — costs continue to go up,” Moeder said. “The benefit is that we’re going to make it possible for more students to be here, to take advantage of going to college. That’s our primary goal.” In addition to the merit-based scholarships the university is revamping, Moeder said adding additional need-based financial aid is on the table as well. “One of the other categories that we’re hoping to do is to create some additional needbased grant assistance for our students that have high financial need,” Moeder said. “There’s no clear direction that’s been set yet, but it’s definitely on the table to look at, which will help more students.” Changes were also made to the out-of-state scholarships. Moeder said K-State added the Inspiration Award for non-Kansas residents, which is a $6,000 annual scholarship that is renewable for up to three additional years. In addition, Moeder said the university added the Recognition Award, another scholarship that is renewable for up to three years that is exclusive for out-of-state students. The initial reward is $4,000 a year awarded to students who had at least

a 3.1 GPA in high school and scored between a 20 and 22 on the ACT. Bosco said the redesign of the scholarship program is part of a long-term program to help the university reach higher populations of out-ofstate students.

The battle of the quarterbacks continues for K-State football MOLLY HACKETT THE COLLEGIAN

Throughout the 2018 football season, Kansas State has not had a guaranteed starting quarterback hold down the position. Both sophomore Skylar Thompson and junior Alex Delton have played each game, and that was no different in Saturday’s 19-14 loss to No. 18 Texas. Thompson had started every game leading up to Saturday’s match and has seen more playing time than Delton. With that being said, the Wildcats seemed totally out of place and unprepared starting with Delton in the game against Texas. The move to have Delton start came after a poor performance overall from the offense at West Virginia in week four. K-State only put six points —

two field goals — on the board during the game. After the loss on Saturday, K-State head coach Bill Snyder said the he gave the start to Delton against Texas because of “the fact that he kind of finished the ballgame and gave us a spark last week and did some things that we wanted to do early in the ballgame a little bit better.” While the first half was nothing short of a disappointment, the biggest area of concern came from the offense. They were only able to average 2.1 yards per play and earn 64 yards the entire first half. The offense also gave up a safety and dropped a touchdown pass to end the first half, which would end up costing them the game. After the game, junior running back Alex Barnes talked about the energy in the locker room at halftime.

“The running back section was quiet then there were a couple of guys who got up and started giving us some energy, and we realized it’s do or die,” Barnes said. Thompson was put in at the start of the second half, and it looked as though a completely different team had emerged. On the first drive, the K-State offense was able to score a touchdown, giving them a spark that hadn’t been seen during the first half. “We came out with a sense of urgency and we played with a little bit of fire and spirit,” junior wide receiver Dalton Schoen said after the game. That spirit that Schoen mentioned was something that carried onto all three sides of the ball. The defense didn’t allow Texas to score during the second half, and special teams redeemed themselves after allowing a 90-yard punt return

by freshman D’Shawn Jamison in the first quarter. While the spark seemed to come after Thompson entered, junior offensive lineman Adam Holtorf said he doesn’t think Thompson being put in was a major factor to the energy shift itself. “I don’t think that’s attributed to one quarterback or the other,” Holtorf said. “We get reps with both quarterbacks. I work with both quarterbacks extensively. There was just a lot of collective team energy coming out of the second half.” While Thompson was able to put up more yards and points for the Wildcats, it still remains unclear as to who will start next week’s game against Baylor in Waco, Texas. The Wildcats will take on the Bears on Saturday at 2:30 pm. The game can be seen on FS1 and listened to on the K-State Sports Network.

Banned Books: “The Absolutely True Diary of a Part-Time Indian” ROWAN JONES

THE COLLEGIAN

With a world full of coming-of-age young adult novels, “The Absolutely True Diary of a Part-Time Indian” stands out. It’s a very light, fun and interesting read that can aim a critical eye on poverty in American Indian reservations while still telling a story that most readers will find easily digestible. But for some reason, the book stays on banned book lists because of its references to masturbation, use of illicit materials, promotion of pornography and experiencing an awakening of sexual maturity. Depending on your core values you may agree or disagree on if school children should have access to that. And I’m not going to challenge those values. Instead, I’m going to take a look at how Sherman Alexie challenges those values, and how that adds to a story with a focus on self-discovery and independent growth. Alexie’s novel tells the story of Junior, who is a young boy living on the Spokane

Indian Reservation. He is introduced to us as a baby born with too much “water on the brain” and from that origin is labeled as a freak. As his world grows around us, so does us our understanding of his reality. His mother and father were considered “too smart for the reservation” but were trapped in a “death camp devoid of hope.” At school and around the reservation he is bullied constantly. For him, life does not exist outside of the reservation because no one in his life has ever left it unless they were being placed six feet underneath the cold frozen soil. Hope is a distant fantasy. Pretty dark stuff? To me, what makes this book already stand out from the endless wave of young adult fiction is that it’s based in reality. This is not a dystopian world far away from us whose only connection to our own human experience is a sexy teen bad boy. And with a story connected to reality, it’s necessary to address that reality. The world that we live in is not full of innocence. Especially for a young boy in an endless desert of alcoholics where death seems to

themes of the novel, but also as the antagonists of Junior. They move the story along. Those topics are all a part of Junior’s life and help develop why he desires change. So much change, that for us to learn his true identity he has to transfer schools and recreate himself. He later reintroduces himself as Andrew. W h e n now-Andrew struggles between his old life on the reservation and his Cover of “The Absolutely True Diary of a Partnew life at school, Time Indian” he falls back on those tragedies lurk around every corner. and remembers why he is Dark, sexual, de-masculintrying to escape that world. izing, destructive, demonizing, This is a story of salvahomophobic and hateful toption. Salvation from a poverics come up. These topics play ty that is seemingly truly ina role, not only as ideas and escapable in our own reality.

Some reviewers have considered this a form of autobiography from Alexie. A story that addresses our sometimes-cold reality and teeters on the edge of non-fiction and fiction is sure to spike controversy. But one thing that these banned book lists seem to forget is that, most of the time, the reason explicit ideas are mentioned is more as a literary tool than to simply mention sex. Alexie’s exploration of explicit context gives Andrew character. It makes him human, susceptible to sin and temptation. Exploring is something that most people have most likely gone through, even if they are too ashamed to admit it. What’s important to recognize is that by the end of the book, Alexie stops mentioning topics that invoke censorship. Why? Because Andrew as a character has grown past that. Addition of explicit content allows this story to explore

depth of reality, the development of Andrew and our own personal beliefs. The reason why I didn’t throw this book across the room after reading the first three pages was because I found that it actually captivated me. It makes the reader think back on their own experiences and start to reinterpret them in the context of Andrew’s journey. In a story that pits a young boy against his family, tribe, friends and entire way of life, it is important to appreciate how Alexie uses controversial topics to show how important it is for Andrew to escape.

Volleyball team falls to TCU in four sets JULIA JORNS

THE COLLEGIAN

On Saturday night, the Kansas State volleyball team matched up against Texas Christian University inside Ahearn Field House. The Horned Frogs took the first set by a score of 25-22 with a kill by senior outside hitter Lexi MacLean. TCU scored the second-to-last point of the set on a kill by Élan McCall before K-State took a timeout. Resuming play, MacLean recorded a kill from sophomore setter Tori Dilfer. K-State started the second set scoring three straight points. The Wildcats then went ahead 13-5 after winning a challenge.

A service error by MacLean for TCU allowed K-State to go ahead 19-9. The Wildcats took the second set 25-18. K-State held TCU to a .044 hitting percentage in the second set as they were able to tie the match a set a piece with a score of 25-18. Freshman opposite hitter Gloria Mutiri collected four kills in addition to three from redshirt sophomore middle blocker Peyton Williams. The largest lead of the set was when the Wildcats went ahead 18-7 on a kill by Williams from redshirt junior setter Sarah Dixon. In the third set, TCU’s defense allowed just 12 points in their 25-12 win. TCU went ahead 15-9 on a kill by McCall. The Horned Frogs recorded a .464 hit-

ting percentage, where they went ahead two sets to one. The fourth and final set of the match resulted in a match victory for TCU. Early in the match, K-State went ahead 11-6 before TCU went on a 10-2 point run. The Wildcats scored three straight points in an effort to force a fifth set, but the Horned Frogs were able to collect the four-set win 25-22. “I thought our middles played extremely well, I was pleased with their effort,” head coach Suzie Fritz said to K-State Sports. “I felt Gloria has proven to be a consistent presence for us, as well. In the end, I think we’ve got to stabilize our serve receive. We’ve got to be a better point-scoring team and we’ve got

to figure out how to get opponents down.” TCU led the match with 58 kills to K-State’s 47. Senior middle blocker Macy Flowers matched her season-high with eight blocks, three of which were solo blocks. There were a total of 16 service errors from both sides of the court in the match. Dixon collected her fifth double-double of the season with 42 assists and 13 digs. The Wildcats are now 10-5 overall and drop to 0-4 against Big 12 opponents. The next match for K-State will be against Texas Tech in Lubbock, Texas, on Wednesday. The match is set for 6 p.m. and will be broadcast on Fox Sports Southwest and KMAN radio.

SGA interns often become the leaders in the student body. Here’s why the program looks different this year KAYLIE MCLAUGHLIN WILLIAM RIDGE THE COLLEGIAN

Every Thursday, a handful of students trickle slowly into the Wildcat Chambers, handing their student IDs to whoever is standing at the door to have their attendance counted before slipping into the rows facing the projector screen at the front of the room. Many of them have their laptops pulled up on the tables in front of them. Some are twisting in their chairs as far as the mechanism will let them. Hushed conversations buzz throughout the room. It isn’t student senate, however, that’s about to be called to order. The time is now 5:45 p.m., and the newly-revised Student Governing Association intern program is about to begin. The new program combines a revised version of the Accelerated Fellowship Program, a several-weeklong SGA informative series that ran in the early months

of the spring 2018 semester, with what the committee deemed successful aspects of the senate intern program. It is divided into two phases. Phase one, the part of the program modeled after the AFP, is a five-week education program featuring discussions, guest speakers and other assorted activities aimed at giving those in attendance a basic education about SGA. Students who attend three of the five weeks of sessions are then encouraged to apply for the next phase. “We believe this structure will allow students to establish an understanding of what opportunities are available and if they see themselves becoming a leader in SGA before making that full year commitment,” Sadie Polson, intern coordinator and junior in marketing, said. Throughout the year, there will be three separate series of the phase one program. While the first session of phase one has already begun, Polson said, there will be additional phase one ses-

sions starting on Oct. 18 and Jan. 31. Jordan Kiehl, student body president and senior in industrial engineering, was the intern coordinator for the 2016-2017 senate intern class. Kiehl said in opening the program to additional entrances throughout the year, it opens the program to students who maybe need time to acclimate to university life or students who were hyper-involved in high school and need a break. The next phase, phase two, will look more similar to the senate intern program implemented in years past. Students who wish to go on with the program must apply and be selected by the intern coordinators. The legislation recommends a cap at 35 interns, but the coordinators are afforded the discretion to allow for more if they feel it is fit.
