Parking Services: Same space complaints with new technology on the way DALTON WAINSCOTT THE COLLEGIAN
With more than 20,000 students on the Manhattan campus, parking spaces tend to run out quickly in the mornings, leaving commuters to circle parking lots like sharks in hopes of finding a spot. The parking garage located next to the K-State Student Union has 500 student, 400 preferred, 270 timed (public) and 130 reserved stalls. Preferred stall owners have guaranteed garage access between 7 a.m. and 5 p.m. Monday through Friday, while reserved stall owners have 24-hour guaranteed access. These permits cost $600 and $900 each year, respectively. Currently, it costs $1.50 per hour to park in the garage for a maximum of $12 per day. Student parking spaces frequently fill up before 10 a.m. “I can never find a spot in the parking garage because normally the student section is always full,” Emily Smith, junior in criminology, said. The hunt for parking space on campus can result in students being late to classes. “If you aren’t there at 8 a.m., it becomes virtually impossible to find parking, so you have to park in the neighborhoods near campus,” Anthony Suitt, sophomore in communications studies, said. When class sessions let out, Smith said finding parking turns into a fight. “I always have to sit there and

wait till classes in session are done, then battle other people for a spot,” Smith said. While students, staff and visitors struggle for space, Parking Services faces its own problems. “The main concern Parking Services has currently is the same as the rest of the university: budget,” Jeff Barnes, director of parking and trans-

portation, said. “While we receive no funding from student fees, tuition or taxes, our funding mostly relies on permit sales.” Student parking passes cost $180, an extra $30 can by daytime student garage access and another $20 allows after-hours access. Faculty permits range between $155 and $205, with after-hours garage parking for $20.

With decreases in enrollment, Parking Services has been forced to rely on the sale of permits, which, with higher payroll and maintenance costs, can lead to lack of funds for projects and repairs, Barnes said.

K-State Athletics is budgeted to remain one of just eight athletics departments in the nation, and the only one in Kansas, that receives no funding from its associated university or student fees. Athletics’s released its annual report this week, including the budget for the fiscal year of Oct. 1, 2019 to Sept. 30, 2020. According the report, this will be Atheltics’s 10th straight year with a balanced budget. Football ticket revenue is projected to reach $12.4 million, about 15 percent of the expected $83.5 million in revenue. Men’s basketball ticket sales are planned to account for 3.58 percent, or almost $3 million. The $83,550,78 budget amounts to a $1.4 million increase from last year. The largest anticipated revenue source will be payouts from the Big 12 and NCAA. The budget does not divide those payouts, but combined the entities are projected to pay K-State $38.9 million, or 46.57 percent of the budget. The largest expense is operating and recruiting including staff salaries, travel and equipment totaling $32.4 million, nearly 39 percent of all expenses.

Smoking ordinance discussed at City Commission meeting BREE MAGEE
THE COLLEGIAN
The Manhattan City Commission met Wednesday evening in City Hall to discuss the combined smoking and e-cigarette ordinance. In 2009, there was a petition-referendum process to potentially ban smoking in public places and in places of employment. This ordinance can be amended after ten years. If amended, not only would Parks and Recreation spaces be smokefree, but the ordinance would also prohibit smoking and the use of e-cigarettes in retail tobacco stores. These new actions would allow current businesses to allow vaping and smoking on their premises but future businesses will be unable to do so. Wynn Butler, city commissioner, spoke in favor of stricter regulations on the ordinance and wants no smoking or vaping to be allowed on public property, as

“We have not filled certain full-time employee positions that have been vacated to help reduce costs,” Barnes said. “The only other alternative is to do less maintenance, that means the parking lots deteriorate more rapidly.” Although some students have said the cost of parking is already high, Barnes said fee increases are on the table. “We haven’t had a fee increase in five years, so through the Council on Parking Operations, we are examining a fee increase,” Barnes said. With budgets decreasing, there are still a wide variety of services available, including the Park ‘n’ Ride ATA Bus shuttle system on campus. “Increasing ridership would alleviate some parking issues in

long as it is in regulation with the ordinance. “Personally, I am in favor of smoking to be done twenty feet from the building,” Butler said. According to the ordinance, proprietors of public places, as noted in the meeting agenda, are required to post the international no smoking symbol and post that the use of e-cigarettes is prohibited on their properties. Largely, youth and young adults were mentioned in the meeting about vaping use and how this ordinance will pertain to them. Jennifer Green, administrative director with the Riley County Health Department, went to the meeting to champion stricter requirements for the ordinance. “Young adults view vaping as less harmful,” Green said. “But if they are starting to smoke e-cigarettes now, they will smoke later.” Green said young people are more likely to risk their health as they get older. It was noted during the meeting that the percentage of the young adults who use

the heart of campus.” Barnes said. Commuting to class by foot or bicycle would also help reduce the amount of people who need parking space each day. Although there are many complaints aimed at Parking Services, Barnes said a lot of these are due to a lack of understanding of how the process works. “The biggest complaint we get from students is ‘There’s nowhere to park,’” Barnes said. “The real complaint is there’s nowhere close to the park. There are stalls, but you have to walk.” Barnes also said even if there aren’t any available stalls in the parking garage, there are many places where spots are consistently available. “We have stalls available north of Weber Hall on a daily basis,” he said. Parking Services plans to implement new technological advancements to make students
and visitors have a better parking experience. “I want to make the process simpler and more user friendly,” Barnes said. One of these new elements is license plate recognition, which would eliminate the need for parking permits to be sold each year. “Your license plate becomes your permit,” Barnes said. Barnes said this system will pay for itself in three to five years and make parking enforcement “much more efficient as it allows for greater coverage in less time.” Another change coming to Parking Services is an app called ParkMobile. ParkMobile will allow students and visitors to pay for metered parking through the app. This will allow you to pay without coins and “extend their time without returning to their meter as well,” Barnes said. This new technology is expected to be implemented before January.

Freshman outside hitter Anna Dixon led the Wildcats with 13 kills and redshirt senior setter Sarah Dixon recorded 23 assists. Freshman defensive specialist Loren Hinkle had 16 digs. As they try to avoid their fourth straight loss, the Wildcats will host West Virginia (8-7, 0-3) on Saturday in Ahearn Field House.

Baylor becomes the new darkhorse as top teams face off in week seven CODY FRIESEN
THE COLLEGIAN
The Jayhawks will face Texas in week eight after a break in week seven.
10. KANSAS JAYHAWKS
9. TCU HORNED FROGS
The Jayhawks held their own but fell to Oklahoma 45-20 on Saturday. The win was the 15th consecutive win for Oklahoma against the Jayhawks. While this wasn’t KU’s weakest performance, some parts of the game were so boring viewers turned to knitting. Senior quarterback Carter Stanley threw for 230 yards and three touchdowns. Junior wide receiver Stephon Robinson led all receivers with five receptions for 131 yards and two touchdowns. Kansas fired offensive coordinator Les Koenning over the weekend and hired analyst Brent Dearmon. The Jayhawks will have a lot of work to do in the bye week to make changes in the offensive system.
Coming off the dominant win over Kansas, the Horned Frogs could not keep the momentum rolling against Iowa State. TCU was defeated 49-24 in Ames, Iowa. Freshman quarterback Max Duggan went 17-25 for 219 yards and two touchdowns. Junior wide receiver Jalen Reagor had four receptions for 69 yards and two touchdowns. The Horned Frogs will have a bye week before traveling to Manhattan to face Kansas State next Saturday.
8. WEST VIRGINIA MOUNTAINEERS
The Mountaineers came close to ending Texas’s College Football Playoff hopes but fell
four quarterback hurries and forced five turnovers. The Oklahoma State offense still racked up 509 yards and 35 points. Texas Tech will try to cool down Baylor, who remains unbeaten on Saturday at 3 p.m. on Fox Sports 1.
5. IOWA STATE CYCLONES

Senior running back James Gilbert runs the ball during K-State’s football game against Baylor in Bill Snyder Family Stadium on Oct. 5, 2019. The Wildcats fell to the Bears 31-12. short in a 42-31 loss on Saturday. Junior quarterback Austin Kendall threw four interceptions but managed 367 yards and three touchdowns. Kendall finished with a 30.5 quarterback rating and has seven interceptions on the year.
The West Virginia defense contained Texas’s air attack but could not stop the run. The defense collected five tackles for loss, including three sacks, and forced one interception. The 3-2 Mountaineers will face 3-2 Iowa State at home on Saturday at 3 p.m. on ESPN.
7. KANSAS STATE WILDCATS

K-State struggled in a 31-12 loss to Baylor in a game where the Wildcats were the early 1.5 point favorites. Junior quarterback Skylar Thompson threw for 218 yards with one touchdown and one interception with one fumble. Thompson was sacked six times in the loss, and the ground game struggled to get going with only 123 total rushing yards. The Wildcats are 0-2 in the conference but sit at 3-2 and are still alive to reach a bowl game. K-State has a week off to regroup before facing off against TCU next Saturday.
6. TEXAS TECH RED RAIDERS
2301 Tuttle Creek Blvd. | 785-587-5258 Open 11:00am - 10:00pm daily
The Red Raiders pulled off a 45-35 upset over Oklahoma State on Saturday. Junior quarterback Jett Duffey threw for 424 yards and four touchdowns. Junior wide receiver T.J. Vasher had five receptions for 110 yards and one touchdown. The Texas Tech offense collected 586 total yards. The Texas Tech defense dominated with 14 tackles for losses, half of which were sacks,
The Cyclones got a much-needed win in a 49-24 rout of TCU at home on Saturday. The Cyclone offense erupted with 436 total yards against the Horned Frogs. Sophomore quarterback Brock Purdy had a highlight day, throwing for 247 yards with two touchdowns. Purdy also led the team in rushing with 102 yards and two touchdowns. Iowa State will play West Virginia on Saturday as 10 point favorites.
4. OKLAHOMA STATE COWBOYS
The Cowboys were unable to hold off Texas Tech in a 45-35 loss on Saturday. Freshman quarterback Spencer Sanders threw for 290 yards and two touchdowns but could not take care of the ball. Not only did Sanders finish with a 21.8 quarterback rating, but he also threw three interceptions and lost two fumbles, which kept the dynamic Cowboy offense off the field and provided several opportunities for the Texas Tech offense. The Cowboys still managed to move the ball effectively with 509 total yards. Sophomore running back Chuba Hubbard rushed for 156 yards and three touchdowns. Hubbard leads the nation in rushing with 1,094 yards. The second closest is junior running back J.K. Dobbins of Ohio State, who has 826 yards six games. Despite the loss, the Cowboys have a chance to reach the Big 12 Championship but will have to win out the rest of the season. Oklahoma State will have a bye week before facing Baylor at home next Saturday.
3. BAYLOR BEARS
The Bears cruised out of Manhattan with a 31-12 win over K-State in week six. The Baylor
defense kept the K-State offense to only 123 rushing yards and 12 points. Baylor also recorded 15 tackles for losses, with six sacks. Junior quarterback Charlie Brewer threw for 230 yards and one touchdown. Junior running back John Lovett rushed for 74 yards and two touchdowns. The Baylor offense scored 31 points and had only 23:15 in time of possession. Baylor is now 5-0 at No. 22 in the AP Poll. The Bears could be a dark horse team to make some waves in the Big 12. The team has a lot of experience, which would be crucial late in the season. The Bears enter the matchup against Texas Tech as 11 point favorites.
2. TEXAS LONGHORNS
The Longhorns avoided the upset in Morgantown, West Virginia, with a 42-31 win over the Mountaineers. The defense helped keep the Longhorns in the game with four interceptions, including two by sophomore defensive back D’Shawn Jamison. Junior quarterback Sam Ehlinger threw for 211 yards and two touchdowns with one interception. The ground game collectively rushed for 216 yards and four touchdowns, including two by Ehlinger. The Longhorns will try to end Oklahoma’s chances of making the College Football Playoff in the Red River rivalry on Saturday at 11 a.m. on Fox.
1. OKLAHOMA SOONERS
Oklahoma is the clear favorite to win the Big 12 and didn’t miss a beat with a 45-20 win over Kansas on Saturday. Senior quarterback Jalen Hurts possibly had his worst game of the year with only 228 passing yards, two touchdowns and an interception, but still has yet to play a full game. Hurts is still in contention for the Heisman trophy. The Sooners lead the nation in total offense, averaging 643.8 yards per game. The Sooners will have their biggest test of the season against long-time rival Texas, entering the matchup as 10.5 point favorites early in the week.

How students received Athletics’s largest capital initiative GREG WOODS
THE COLLEGIAN
Early last month, at halftime of Kansas State football’s home matchup with Bowling Green at Bill Snyder Family Stadium, the hosts’ communications team passed out a packet to media members. This happens regularly, and the announcements aren’t always groundbreaking, so a few moments passed before a stir arose. This one was, in fact, groundbreaking. Literally. Athletics announced a $105 million capital project, the largest in department history, as part of the overall facility master plan that will benefit all 16 of K-State’s athletic programs. At the time of announcement, the department had already raised more than $69 million of the $105 million total project cost, and construction on the first of four projects, the stadium’s south end zone project, is scheduled to begin in May 2020 following approval later this month by the Kansas Board of Regents. Completion is expected by the start of the 2021 football season. The investment also covers construction of a new volleyball arena, Olympic performance training center and a new football indoor facility and outdoor practice field. Construction of the final three components, the announcement read, will begin once appropriate funding is committed and approval given by the Regents. Athletics Director Gene Taylor had a lot to do with it. “One of our top departmental priorities is to provide our teams the best facilities they need to compete for champion-
ships while doing so in a manner that makes sense for K-State, both financially and practically, and this project is consistent with that goal,” Taylor said in a statement. “What is most significant to us, and also to our tremendous donors who have already contributed to our fundraising goal, is that these projects will have a direct impact on each and every one of our teams and student-athletes as well as significantly enhance the experience for our fans, especially for football and basketball games and volleyball matches. We could not do any of this without the wonderful donors that we have at K-State and all of the fans that routinely fill our stadiums and arenas, and we are very appreciative of their support.” The announcement came with questions. One of the most common: What about the parking spaces that the new football practice facility will eat up? Minutes after the announcement, Taylor had an answer. “Right now, we’re estimating about 400 parking spaces [will be lost],” Taylor said. “But we’ve also identified where we’re going to pick those up, and how we’re going to make sure the impact on our fanbase is at a very minimum, in terms of losing spaces. We have folks in the parking lot, some workers, some staff, others that we can move around and pick up some spots. Then we’ll recreate some spots in the lot that we don’t have right now. “We think the impact is going to be minimal in terms of the total number,” Taylor continued. “Some people may get moved around a little bit, but we’ll make sure we have those answers as well before we start that project.”
John Winter, junior in civil engineering and a longtime attendee of K-State football games — even before becoming a student in the fall of 2017 — expressed more skepticism. Even if some of the spots are made up for, he said, who will it benefit, and at what cost? “Trust me, I really, really hope the new practice facility will help out the players and make a difference,” Winter said. “But at the same time, I also hope that it will help them enough to make it worth it to lose all those parking spaces, right? So I guess it just comes down to the convenience of parking when this new facility is built, and hopefully it won’t be too in the way or annoying.” A few more details on the $24.5 million practice facility that will sap up 400 parking spots: It would include a 200by-400 foot practice field with a 65-foot roof clearance and accessibility to the Vanier Family Football Complex and football stadium. Additional features, according to K-State Sports, would include a limestone exterior to match the stadium’s and campus architecture as well as a new outdoor practice field. The current one is next to Buser Family Park. Michael Everett, senior in business, expressed more confidence in K-State to accommodate fans on game days. If the staff couldn’t, Everett said, why would it tell fans otherwise? “I actually really think it won’t be too bad once the new facility goes up and a few parking spots get lost,” Everett said. “So when I graduate, and if I come back for a game or two down the road, I don’t think I’ll have to worry about having to walk really far to get into the game.”

OPINION: Relationship, dating tips for newbies to college dating MOLLY HACKETT THE COLLEGIAN
For many people, dating is something that can seem daunting if they are new or if they haven’t been on the market in a long time. If you feel like you’re in this situation, here are some good tips for you.
FOR NEWBIES:
1. Play the field a bit, and don’t be afraid to go out on dates with multiple people. While some people may judge you for this, it is a great way to get back out there without feeling a lot of pressure and feeling like you have to commit to the first person you go out with. 2. If you’re uncomfortable talking to people and are afraid you will be awkward, set up a Tinder, Bumble or, heck, even a Farmers Only account. This will allow you to talk to people you’re attracted to, and it will help you feel comfortable before you meet them in person. 3. The biggest thing you need to make clear is what your intentions are so everyone is on the same page. If you want something casual,
commitment or to just be friends with someone, just be honest. 4. Have the title talk. After a couple of dates or, when you feel like you’re ready to take it to the next level, talk to that person about it before assuming you’re in a relationship 5. Be honest. Starting anything with anyone can only be built on a truthful foundation if you want it to be successful. If you can’t be honest with another person, then you probably aren’t ready to be in a relationship.
FOR COUPLES:
1. Communication is key to being in a successful relationship. The more you talk about what’s going on in your day-to-day life, the better your relationship will flow. 2. Don’t have expectations for you partner. The minute you set expectations for your significant other, you will more than likely be upset with the end result. Rather, set expectations for yourself and do everything you can to try to be your best self for the other person, and they will more than likely do the same. 3. Keep dating your significant other even after
you’ve been with them for a while. Make that effort. Even if it is the smallest gesture, your partner will appreciate it and it will help your relationship. 4. Be yourself and don’t change that for anyone — even your significant other. They fell in love with the person they met when you first started going out and have reasons for that. 5. Have alone time and know when you need to take a step back to get your own stuff done. It’s great to spend time with the person you love, but at the same time you need to make sure that you’re taking care of yourself so you can help take care of them when they need it. 6. When it comes to taking your relationship to the next level physically, talk about it. If you aren’t ready, be honest. If you are ready, let the other person know. Setting boundaries and respecting everyone’s wishes is most important. Last but not least, don’t be afraid to be nervous. It is normal! On my first date with my boyfriend he was so nervous that he spilled his water all over himself four times at dinner, but he made

Mental Wellness Week: Student organizations tackle mental health GRACE WYATT
THE COLLEGIAN
To draw attention to the importance of mental health, the Union Program Council partnered with Peer Advocates for Mental Wellness and Success, Counseling Services and Purple Power Animal Welfare Society for the third annual Mental Wellness Week. Several free student events took place from Tuesday to Friday.

kind of thing,” Leonard said. “We just want to make sure everyone knows that we’re on campus, first of all, so that people can know the resources we have on campus.” While the events focused on stress relief, the overall goal of Mental Wellness Week is education on the importance of mental health. The events were created to help students find campus resources as well as ease the stigma surrounding the topic. On Tuesday afternoon,
students were invited to “Draw Out Emotions” with a free showing of the film “Inside Out” in the K-State Student Union. Attendees were offered free pizza and coloring supplies to illustrate their feelings. Tuesday evening, an instructor from the Peters Recreation Complex stopped by for “Yogatta Meditate,” a sunset meditation session. Mary Beth Stankiewicz, freshman in nutrition and kinesiology, attended as a yoga fanatic.
“My roommate had to come for a class,” Stankiewicz said. “I came along for the stress relief.” In addition to yoga stretches, students participated in guided breathing exercises to alleviate stress. Wednesday afternoon was “Fresh Check Day” in the Student Union for students to visit booths and win prizes. Mental Wellness Week wrapped up with an attempt to reduce the stigma around mental health.

OPINION: Campus parking tips ABIGAIL COMPTON THE COLLEGIAN
FORGET EVERYTHING YOU KNOW ABOUT PARKING
You might think you know the rules of the road: you are wrong. Those rules do not apply on campus. With tiny, weeny parking spaces, even your Smart Car will not fit in the space quite right. Forget it if you have a truck or drive a mom-van.
PARKING IS ABOUT SURVIVAL OF THE FITTEST
Only people who wake up before 8:00 a.m. will get a space in the parking garage. If you think you’re going to get a spot after 9:45, you are sorely mistaken. It takes some strategic planning and time maneuvering to find a space throughout the day.
PARKING IS NOT ABOUT MAKING FRIENDS
This might be the Midwest, but there is nothing polite about parking. Just keep moving and mutter “Ope, excuse me,” even if they can’t hear it. If you stop

Parking spaces become scarce by mid-morning. swimming, you will sink. There is no going back now — you have committed to parking there.
WATCH OUT FOR MOPEDS AND SMALL CARS IN PARKING SPOTS. THEY WILL DECEIVE YOU Those little cars and motorcycles will give you the illusion the stall is empty. Do not fall for their lies. If the person in front of you started to take the spot and awkwardly backed out, it’s foolish arrogance to think you
will have any more success than they did.
